I was feeling discouraged, but then an idea popped into my head...

Caine, Bill, and Kinito, who would have thought that's a good trio? I loveed it :P I'm going to draw them together now

When Rahab first explained marriage to Elias, she did not explain that marriage implies romance or sex. Elias then interprets "marriage" as a promise of lifelong companionship, more like friendship or family than a romantic union. His proposal to Chise reflects that misunderstanding, especially since it is clear in the first episode that he has no idea what he is talking about, rather than being an attempt to take advantage of her.

Elias cannot truly grasp human emotions or their impact. He is not portrayed as a sexual predator, and I will stand by that. In fact, when he tried to kill Stella and sacrifice her, it was out of jealousy and fear of losing Chise. This demonstrates his monstrous ignorance and immaturity, not a deliberate pattern of manipulation or "grooming."

Elias Ainsworth behaves like a petulant, arrogant child rather than an adult seeking control. His relationship with Chise is complex but not sexual. Most of the plot revolves around both of them learning boundaries, empathy, and what an actual healthy relationship is.

Chise, although vulnerable at the start, makes her own decisions throughout the story. She sets boundaries and challenges Elias, while developing her own identity. This active growth contrasts sharply with the passivity seen in real grooming situations.

In conclusion, Chise and Elias are two flawed characters struggling to understand human bonds. The narrative treats Elias’s behavior as something he must change, while Chise grows stronger and more independent. Their relationship is about growth and understanding, not exploitation.

“I DO BOTH-“

You know my problem isn't mostly on the VAs but towards the people's response to the situation. I think people are allowed to grow and change, I think calling the VAs as racists is too harsh especially when they apologized and I haven't heard enough controversy from them. However I'm not going to use the "It was 7 years ago" because it's the same fuck ass mentality when people say, "Oh my god, Slavery was a long time ago, like just move on" No, especially when Jim Crow wasn't that long ago either, and there’s has been racism on the rise on these days.

"Well it was an edgy joke, people just be getting mad at everything" Ash was black cosplayer who committed suicide because she kept getting racist comments which included racist edgy jokes. It's not just an edgy joke, if it was, Ash would still be alive. Edgy jokes CAN enable bigoted behavior. Something so small can slowly become a bigger problem. These edgy jokes CAN influence your perception. While I am very self aware of my perception and refuse to let the offensive and dark jokes change me, many aren't very self aware and end up getting influenced. This is very true towards teenagers, because they aren't mature, they easily get influenced and groomed into developing a problematic mindset. Do you know how many teenage boys grow up to be very bigoted because they consume so much problematic offensive slop growing up?

You know, I don’t think many of you haven't comprehended how much power do jokes hold. I love edgy and even offensive jokes, I even laughed at them, but even I know those jokes need to be hold carefully and still be serious about it in the end. An example would be the Epstein memes. Believe it or not, those memes made everyone desensitized towards the horrible and inhumane situation that was described in the files, so now, almost no one can't take it seriously without smiling and laughing about it. Jokes can make you be less empathetic and people need to realize that. Jokes are deep, they're not just shits and giggles, they are so much more than that.

"Oh but dark humor is a coping mechanism" I agree but some of you are abusing that statement to justify your behavior. Like I said before, it desensitized you, and then you're not mad anymore. So when there's a genuine situation that's genuinely bad, instead of getting mad and do something about it, you just joke and do nothing more. That's the fucking problem.

"Well I'm black and I'm not offended" I am a Hispanic whose half community voted for Trump, became such big ass racists, and even turned to white supremacy, and say the nword many and MANY times, so hearing that statement makes my eyes roll cause how many times have I heard that already. You think you saying that will invalidate the other black people who are offended? You seriously think you're superior or cooler because your cornball ass wants to play nonchalant and not be offended because apparently that's cringe behavior now. You are only making things worse. You are downplaying the situation and giving the justification that bigoted people are looking for. Seriously, a bigoted person will deal with 19 offended black people claiming that they shouldn't say the n word but you said you ain't offended if they say it, so now that bigoted person will ignore those 19 offended black people and just focus on your word only, arguing that because you ain't offended, it's ok for them to say the n word. The problem isn't you not being offended but you downplaying the situation.

And sometimes it's ok not to be offended, some people's joke levels are different but you gotta be careful saying that, people see it as pass to being a major asshole. If you have a white friend who laughs racist jokes towards black people, you got to educate them first,(I personally think we should educate each other regardless of what we are) it's an awkward situation but it is needed. But you probably think "Well they're not racist, so it's ok, and I don't have to educate them" but like I argue before, those jokes can influence. So now, your white friend ironically believes those racist bigoted ideas and calls you slurs but it's okay, because you're their friend and you WILL understand them. And if you don't, well the bigoted ideals were right about black people like you playing the "victim card". (And it wouldn't be your fault either, you genuinely trusted your friend and they betrayed you)

"This is a nothing burger" People from the Jim Crow also thought the same when Black people complained about the racist caricatures too. You know what else they thought it was a nothing burger to them, the segregation and the racist treatment towards minorities. I am repeating myself but it is very necessary. Something so small can lead to bigger consequences. I understand there are bigger problems but dismissing small stuff can even eventually become a big problem.

For example the gay jokes. Straight men LOVE to spam them but they are still aligned with the homophobia mindset. I remember seeing a post that a guy was explaining that they do gay jokes for the shock factor which supports the idea that queer people are still not accepted among society, they're still considered as freaks. Doing gay jokes makes homophobia still be revelant and reject the idea of accepting queer people. Not to mention, queer people have been seen as cringe especially in fandoms. So when making a gay jokes that's making fun of cringe queer people will lead to bigger consequences. Because gay people are the shock factor, what happens when they encounter a queer person?

Trans people are just existing however because of the tranny jokes, people somewhat agree with the joke that trans people are creeps. So when seeing a trans person just minding their business, they're filled with resentment. Why is that person a trans? Don't they know trans people are the shock factor to society? Don't they know that being trans is a joke to everyone? Then they're filled disgust and hate. What happens next? Some think joking against Trans people isn't enough and feel they need to punish trans people because it's funny and it justifies their bigoted perception. So when harassing a trans person, they can hide behind "It's just a joke/prank" and because queer people are seen as cringe, the audience will lean to the prankster than the trans person. That trans person will constantly be told they're overacting over some tranny joke, dismissing their feelings and discomfort.

Sometimes situations like this get physical violently and when these situation gets exposed, people who have been desensitized to anti-queer treatment through offensive jokes, they start believing being queer is a joke to society, so they would victim blame the trans person. Why? Because that trans person should have known better than to think being Trans is normal, so of course that trans person got harassed.

It gets worse, these people who consume so much offensive and dark humor slop, will encounter a genuine bigoted media. And those offensive and dark humorist will take every word from that genuine bigoted media as the full truth. Because they already think minorities are a joke, so of course they will agree with the genuine bigoted person that minorities are lower than the trash and parasites to society. So now they a firm believer of bigoted ideal because they consume so much offensive and dark humor content.

This is how it starts, so no, "It's not a nothing burger". This type of situation has levels to it, it can become worse. But because it's just a joke, no one takes the situation seriously until it's too late.

The VAs did grow as from their mistake, I genuinely think we should give them another chance, but we can forgive but NOT forget. However my biggest gripe is how everyone is defending the VAs past behavior, hell, some even claim they shouldn't apologize from their past behavior because it's just some edgy joke. Now that pissed me off a lot. I recently made a post about Sabrina Carpenter, how half of the internet is defending her but have no idea they are enabling her pontential problematic behavior, giving her the idea that she can get away without facing the consequences of her actions because she's a famous person and they're over here defending her rude behavior to her cultural fan, which can encourage her to be become worse.

"I wore his ring, but she held his soul."

POV: You are the non-MC wife. You thought the marriage would save you, but the moment you crossed his precious MC, you became nothing more than a target. He didn't even hesitate.

God, the angst of being the disposable villain in someone else's love story is unmatched 💔

“Please give me recs based on this is horror, that will be all. Thank you.”

[1:40 p.m] Pierrot wormed his way into your room as he did most nights. His tall frame slid in through your balcony door, inhaling the familiar scent of you. Every time felt like the first as his body responded to your presence.

Tonight, however, he caught you while you were in the shower. Tendrils of steam forced their way under the bathroom door, signaling you'd already been in there a while. Pierrot hummed to himself as he wandered closer. He wanted to enter. To make his presence known and surprise you with a massive hug.

Before he could grab the door handle, something caught on his boot. Your dirty clothes were in a small pile at his feet, just outside the door. Pierrot glanced at the door, then back to your clothes, wondering just how much longer you'd be in there.

With nothing but his instincts guiding him, Pierrot squatted down, rummaging through your discarded work uniform. He lifted your shirt to his face, inhaling your scent like it'd be the last time. He wanted to commit it to memory; engrave it into his heart.

He did the same to your apron and your pants, memorizing every detail of your smell.

Then, Pierrot's claw caught on your underwear. He froze, too flustered to move. He whipped his around like you'd be there to catch him, to chastise him. But the shower was still running, and you had no idea he was here.

Pierrot lifted the garment to his face as he did the others, a hot, angry flush burning beneath his mask. The second this scent struck him, his mouth watered, as if responding to a primal call. It wasn't like your normal scent; it wasn't like anything he'd experienced before. A soft whimper slipped out, though he hardly noticed.

Another deep inhale. Pierrot's head began to spin, the heady scent absolutely addicting. Dizzying.

Pierrot's heart thudded violently against his ribs with a mixture of arousal, excitement, and fear. Fear that you would catch him and cast him out. Even he knew this had to cross an unspoken line.

But instead of giving into fear, Pierrot dove into addiction, sliding his tongue along the soft material. A shudder tore through his body, one delicate moan slipping out of him before he could stop it.

His pants tightened painfully as his arousal curled a fist around him. Pierrot leaned forward, one hand catching himself on the ground while he recovered.

The shower turned off, and his heart stuttered in its thundering rhythm. You couldn't see him like this. He'd be utterly crushed if you thought him a terrible person for indulging in the scent and taste of you like this.

Pierrot shoved your underwear in the pocket of his costume and fled your room the way he'd entered. He'd visit you again tomorrow when he was in his right mind. Not like this. Not hard and panting and wanting.

Well this unlocked something I knew I didn’t really have until I got into Caleb L&DS. This has truely revealed to me that itsn’t just a L&DS.

I can’t complain tho

1. It’s Cain realizing this

Throughout the entire series, we’ve had Cain be seen as a lovable goofball, not truely understanding human nature, but wants to interact with it. Much like a little child, and want everyone to enjoy their work. He want everyone to like him, he wants everyone to enjoy their work, he wants everyone to be friends with him. This is shown that he will make full on adventures just for one of them to be “friends” with him for the sake of an adventure.

It itsn’t until the beginning of the episode we see that be thrown out of the window, mainly due to snapping of realizing that he itsn’t getting his way. I know some people may argue you that him snapping is justified, but the whole picture of it; it’s not. He’s a child throwing a tantrum on the aspect that his “guests” (people are stuck against their will) aren’t enjoying these adventures that give them incredible hope of possibly leaving.

What he’s done in episode 7, is the equivalent of him spitting in their faces and laughing at them at the idea of freedom. Does he mean this? No, like I said, he’s a child. He doesn’t understand the social cues, he doesn’t get that they actually want to leave. And like they stated, he doesn’t care for it. He just wants them to be entertained; much like a child not caring about another for crying because of the injury, because it’s all apart of the game that they’re playing.

Back to episode 8, he’s realizing that what he itsn’t doing it’s enough, nor will ever be enough. And he’s pissed, this itsn’t how the game is supposed to happen. He’s realized that the game/program fellows on his whims, or at least to the entities that realize it at least. He’s god, so he can make entertainment. He shifts the tables towards him being entrained. For which, We haven’t seen the extent of how far he will keep up having the facade of having the upper hand.

It itsn’t until this MOMENT, that we realize he can be smart. He can piece things together way easier that doesn’t involve human emotion, his little “cheery” and “happy” attitude is instantly replaced by seriousness and will of “no one ruining my game”.

We see him finally see what he mainly is. A computer, an entity that can piece things together, and realize that his guests are up to something that he know he won’t enjoy. It’s why he gets pissed and raged through the conversation of Ragatha trying to continue lie through her teeth, because they aren’t playing his game anymore.

2. We finally see a villain piece things together before the hero’s have the upper hand.

We’ve never really had villains that were smart, like wise of being able to plan a head, and realize that something is up. It reminds me a little of Syndrome from the incredible. He l’s every cliche by the book, and knows the cliches with the hero’s like the book. Which is why he says the line of “you sly dog! You caught me monologue.” Which is the aspect of him realizing that he knows hero’s will try to do that, and he knows that he can be that stupid against hero’s who are pretty smart like this.

Which it correlates to Cain, again, we haven’t seen a. Villain piece the hero’s plan so quick before the action could even happen, he realizing that their trying to distract him. And because of Kinger usually being left out of the group due to his insanity, he doesn’t question it at first. It itsn’t until he’s walking through their actions of why they’re switching up their act of loving Cain, that they have to be up to something.

To which instantly clicks that Kinger is some how relevant to them distracting him. Because he knows Kinger, he knows he can be dangerous when given the opportunity.

Hey so, I thought maybe we should participate in a blackout day to protest against the new tumblr update.

Let's try March 19. So that people have time to see this and plan for it.

Do not log in or use tumblr for 24 on this day.

Reblog this and make a tag chain to maximise visbility—the more people aware of this awful update, the better.

Circle the date on your calendar, or set a reminder on your phone. As a bonus it will be a good break from social media. Spend the day doing things you like—start that book you've been waiting to read, go outside, watch a good movie... just do anything except open tumblr.

I think we should show tumblr that we are not happy with this update in every possible way we can.

File support tickets with feedback (SEE BELOW ON HOW TO SEND FEEDBACK), post about how this update makes you feel, reblog other's posts about this update, offer as detailed and honest feedback as possible to tumblr—WE DO NOT WANT THIS UPDATE!!

Remember that WE are the end consumers.

WE build their platform, WE fill it with posts, WE are the reason they generate revenue, WE are the reason this platform has power, and for these reasons WE should feel satisfied with the service they provide. ESPECIALLY if you pay for tumblr premium, you are entitled to make a complaint about the platform you are PAYING.

I used to like tumblr and I'd like to cling to it, but this update is just horrible. It makes me not want to continue posting at all. It is utterly demotovating as-is with my being mature labelled, but this update is just intolerable. I do not know how I will feel motivated to post at all in the future if this update is not rolled back.

I know I don't have much reach, especially with a label on, but I hope this reaches at least a few people.

Please participate if you care. Please reblog and tag people you know. Send every bit of feedback to tumblr that you possibly can.

I really don't want to see my once favorite site ruined beyond repair. I really want to continue enjoying this site. I have a community of people here which I have built over years, a community which I deeply love and appreciate and cherish interacting with. My blog thrives on being able to see feedback in reblogs on my post. The whole point of posting is that people see it and engage with it. This update is at best nonsensical and at worst, going to shred off many creators from the platform and rip apart any last bits of fun we have using it.

Tagging everyone I can think of.
