the reveal that human ears along with animal ears on a lot of the operators where in fact always part of The Lore is still the coolest shit arknights has ever fucking done tbh. like the fact that the humanoid features are the ALIEN ones???? exquisite. amazing. fascinating. im obsessed. and that's even before we get to the strong as fuck originium bear who is growing human hands because the originium is forcibly rewriting it's biology with the information it carries. like oh my god that's the coolest shit????? like hey come play this game we have cute catgirls and shit and then it hits you with THAT???? fucking obsesseddddddd

oh now lost ark is doing one of my least favorite fantasy tropes, being that there’s republican anti-monarchy rebels but they’re evil because they’re against our good and just king with absolute power and claims his reign by divine right. also they kick babies and consort with demons because they’re scared of having any sort of nuance at all

you ever think about amiya. she is so hopeful and so idealistic and you think she's naive, maybe, or an Anime Protagonist™ and then skullshatterer happens. and then patriot happens. and amiya is hopeful and idealistic and so so stubborn, but she's not naive at all. she's seen the worst of the world since she was very, very young. in blood and death a woman who was a second mother to her put a crown of suffering on her head and an incredible weight on her shoulders and forced her to carry them while another parent betrayed her and she's still hopeful and resilient and refusing to give up, over and over. you ever think of her.

today im thinking of vulpisfoglia. it's like she's a mother and it's so central to her character but the way being a dog owner is central to john wick's character. as in not how you think it would be. her motherhood is what fuels her murdering a bitch in cold blood as revenge for giving her daughter rock cancer and she doesn't feel bad about it. like at all. she stabs him and literally stands there and gloats because it will take time for him to bleed out. and then, i assume, she goes to visit her daughter and after that goes to fight through a whole temple of monks to visit her spiritually important and therefore locked up husband. like i feel like we as a society moved on from vulpisfoglia way too fast. ingrid you will always be famous to me
