Atiredblackwoman - A Tried Black Woman

GOD i need to yap abt flames loyalty to mane bc i find it endlessly fascinating that he will put up w so much shit and do things he himself doesnt particularly like or believe in simply bc mane asks it of him. bc mane is his teammate, and flames sense of loyalty to him bc of that is possibly the closest thing LS has to a relationship w unconditional loyalty.

No one can convince me that Ross and Bucky fight over being the favorite colonizer nickname. I just feel it in my soul that they always try and on up each other to win at being the favorite colonizer.

yk ive been seeing people say like "oh fyodor COULDVE predicted chuuya snapping out of the vampire control, hes smart" and im like okay yeah that makes sense...but also like...i genuinely think fyodor is in over his head atm. like his speech about "utilizing" chuuya seems so.. .gloaty? arrogant? like, chuuya being able to crush the underside of a door and swimming in a water where you cant really swim in is impressive, but this is chuuya. you know, the guy who can stop bullets and launch them back with greater force, the guy who learned how to control his gravity is a precise manner so that his punches hit twice as hard, THE GUY WHO FOUGHT VERLAINE AND THE DRAGON FROM DEAD APPLE? like my guy is made out of titanium, and the thing he pulled in mersault is honest to god just basic stuff for him compared to what he's used to doing. fyodor calling skk's bond shallow and telling dazai, THE DAZAI, that he doesn't know how to use a gravity user is. one loaded statement. that aint it chief, hes going to get his ass bitten sooner or later.

if i was fyodor, i'd be watching my back.

Hey anon!

Yeah, see the thing about Fyodor's argument that Dazai should've known that a gravity manipulator can get out of a flooded room honestly has very little to do with the utilization of Chuuya's ability. It has everything to do with the vampire guard situated in advance to warn them, otherwise it wouldn't have worked. That's... not something Dazai probably (?) knew. Fyodor choosing to make that oversight (?) about their bond is uh... definitely a targeted choice.

Fyodor's specialty is hitting people where it really hurts. Remember that he first went for Kunikida, right? Because he wanted to break his idealistic spirit. And Cannibalism only works based off of the Agency's and Mafia's respective loyalties to their leaders, Fukuzawa and Mori - he was counting on loyalty to the leaders overcoming loyalty to their orders. So, it really seems like Fyodor regards bonds and emotions and loyalty and ideals as, well, weaknesses to exploit.

But as far as amazing feats Chuuya has performed, you're right, this is really not all that notable. Like I was saying, it's more important that there was already someone positioned in advance. It is weirdly gloaty and arrogant of Fyodor, then, to taunt Dazai with the idea that skk's bond is shallow, but I'll be honest, that actually makes me more nervous.

One of the flashbacks in chapter 101 shows the moment Chuuya saved Dazai in Dead Apple. Fyodor was present for those events and likely saw everything. He was the one who had the intent of forming the singularity dragon, something that Shibusawa did not predict would occur. He clearly has knowledge of singularities, perhaps better than most. Chuuya's true form of his ability is a singularity lifeform. Stormbringer confirms there are ways to counter and defeat singularities.

Conclusion: I am deathly terrified that Fyodor has a means of countering Corruption, and is purposely egging Dazai and Chuuya on.

I have no proof but most of the partnerships we built up throughout the series have been destroyed or separated or rendered ineffective by events in this and the last arc; the only one left is the Dazai-Chuuya one. Yeah. Fear.

But see, here's the thing. I'm still counting on it being Sigma or Chuuya to turn events around. Fyodor does seem to underestimate most people who are not on the same intellectual level as himself and Dazai. Sigma seems to be close to a turning point in his character. Chuuya has a history of throwing powerful enemies and allies completely off their game. I think they can do it. Really, I do.

Moreover, Fyodor commenting on how Dazai "isn't fit to use a gravity manipulator" is dead wrong because... Dazai doesn't use Chuuya's ability at all. Chuuya uses Chuuya's ability. Dazai doesn't tell Chuuya exactly what to do and how to do it. He makes a general plan or hints at a general plan and Chuuya adapts and fills in the gaps on his own. That's why they work! I will continue to shout this as long as I need to!!!

Much as I focus on Chuuya though, I do think Fyodor successfully pissed Dazai off, and I suspect... that's not going to turn out to be a good thing for him. This is Dazai's expression (or rather, lack of) the panel after Fyodor tells him he's "unfit to use gravity manipulation":

His face is completely shadowed.

...haha. Yikes.

Anyways, I rambled a bit here but I hope this was a satisfying response anon! There's really a lot of ways this could go so it's fun to theorize.

I couldn’t watch the entirety of Philza’s vod earlier so I’m just watching the last like 40 mins and the part where he’s having a heart to heart with Chayanne and Tallulah was so sweet but Chayanne saying that the admin was shaking when they got grabbed by the giant squid a couple of streams back because they thought it was the end really stuck out to me. Like obviously as viewers of the streamers we can see clearly how attached they are to the eggs but it must be the same for the admins that play the eggs like they also have spent hours most days for MONTHS with each other and the players so the fact that that can all be over so quickly must genuinely be nerve wrecking. I also feel like it brings up the discussion of people who are like “we just need to get rid of the eggs now” “kill the eggs off” because these are characters played by REAL people who have evidently become attached too (Chayannes admin saying they were shaking when grabbed by the giant squid, Leo’s admin saying they cried after losing their first life, Ramon’s admin saying that they were shaking after they found the building was filled with tnt, Bobby’s admin saying he cried after losing his final life in the dungeon, dapper’a admin saying they teared up watching bad’s reaction to his nightmare etc) like there’s so much emotion attached to these characters, not only to us as viewers but also the players and admins idk I’m rambling at this point I just feel like sometimes some people forget that there’s real people behind the eggs who care a lot about the characters too 🫶🏻

I love the lifesteal smp, I love the fanart, and etc but I wish more people would make stuff about Flame and Mane. Like in headcannons in stuff they get like one line and everyone else gets like 5. Like Flame and Mane are cousins, there’s so much potential for angst or something.

Also about the cousins thing Flame literally said it in this video

YouTube

So I Got 20 Hearts... (Lifesteal SMP)*

Flame's Discord (Texture Pack, Mods, & Settings): https://discord.com/invite/czdf7yes9uFlame's Feather Cosmetics (Cloak): https://feathermc.

The conversation starts around 1:08:02. Flame and Mane literally tell Clown they’re cousins.

(Also I find is so funny that Clown is like, you guys are joking and they are like no we are really cousins)

Q!mike and pac deserve to kill q!foolish at least once for this this sucks for them

Agree. After they break out, if they wish to do something against Foolish they more than deserve to. At least they might break out with Walter Bob so there's at least a good side to being arrested.

I would love to watch the house of the dragon but instead of the war, it’s just everyone beefing with each other.

I also know Baela and Rheana deliver the most sinister roasts like everyone knows not to mess with those two.

Oathbound chapter 1 spoilers

WILLIAMMMMMM YESSSS GODDDDDD

chapter 26, crooked kingdom

Just finished Bloodmarked the second book in the Legendborn cycle and I don’t know wtf to do with my life anymore.

Slight spoilers

Nick’s character wasn’t really in the story a lot but I feel he’s gonna go down a villain arc in the next book. I feel like he loves Bree but his hate for the Order is gonna over shadow his love and he’s gonna do something crazy. Especially after the ending because he’s gonna blame the Oder for what happened.

Selwyn, I love Selwyn in this book. Did he piss me off? Yes. Did he make it up later on? HELL YES. I can’t wait to see him in the next book.

Bree, personally Bree can do no wrong in my eyes. I support black woman’s rights and wrongs. It kept pissing me off she trusted theses old white men but I understood where she was coming from. I also didn’t like how it took forever for her and Sel to have the conversation but when they did I was squealing. But other than that Bree is perfect in every way imaginable and she deserves better and to be happy.
