The fucking audacity GBDFHBGHHBDF

he got betrayed and sabotaged a.k.a murdered, that has nothing to do with it. Like his way of life paradoxically means trusting those around him constantly with his life (his assistant, lenore with her plans, eulalie with HIS plan)!!! You think you can read him by,,,,not knowing anything? good job cat boy, your achievement unlock is "being an ass"

acting like the fall is somehow Duke's fault is some outrageous shit BHJGHJGFD keep your 'being rattled and lashing out (but only at duke!)' to yourself, I thought you were good at being silent~

and god forbid Duke doesn't want to stick around in case there's a rain of ghost dogs coming down on them, the arboretum is quite literally right there. damn right I'm supporting the rushing and he's even offering his arm and being a crutch to Eulalie while his back is probably murdering him considering he took the brunt of the fall on purpose

One thing that I think will never cease to amaze me about this fandom is how, despite seeing a conscious effort on the part of the comic's narrative (both in the writing and the composition of the illustrations) to show that, sometimes, clashes between characters don't happen because someone is being “the bad guy” but because of differences in character, suboptimal decisions made in extreme situations (though that doesn't mean the characters don't have to deal with the consequences of those decisions), very understandable traumas, or things they don't know about each other; there always seems to be a strange obsession with taking sides and pointing fingers.

This happened a lot with Annabel and Lenore before we saw a little more of Annabel's side; now it's happening with Duke and Pluto.

Is it normal for Pluto to be uncomfortable and upset after working his butt off trying to save Duke and now seeing him putting his life at risk, joking about it, and downplaying his concerns as if they were a joke (in addition to other things I can't say because Fass Pass)? Yes

Pluto is taking it out on Duke for not doing what he thinks he should do, feeling entitled to judge him when he doesn't really know him and definitely projecting some not-so-nice things onto him (plus other things I can't say because FP)? That's also true

But for some reason, I see a lot of people refusing to accept that their favorite characters might have character flaws (when that's what makes them interesting), and the way they usually justify that is by throwing other characters under the bus to justify that their favorite is right

I genuinely can't tell if I'm being lambasted right now or not...? BHGFBHJGFD

Oh, no, fuck, NO. Sorry if it seemed like that's what I meant, I wrote this a bit from the gut because this has had my eye twitching for a while. I think what you're saying about how Pluto is behaving is absolutely correct and I don't think you don't see the whole picture just because you don't mention it (you're talking about how Pluto is being a jerk, you're not talking about Duke, I can't assume you mean something that's not in the text!)

But I was venting about how I see people justifying things like, for example, how Pluto is behaving. Because he's "a good guy", so if he's behaving badly, it's because someone else (in this case Duke) deserves it. When, as you rightly point out in the tags, that's not what's going on here

Really, sorry if my text was unnecessarily aggressive, it wasn't an annoyance that was directed at you, I was yelling at the air

Lenore: I don't get people who justify cheating by saying they were drunk. When I drink, I just keep proposing to my wife over and over.

Annabel: And I have to say yes everytime, or she cries.

Buddy, I imagine Annabel being woken up by Lenore at 3 AM because she just came home drunk and wants to propose again. This has happened several times

I retook a nevermore personality test

(this test)

before I was once a thriving pluto, a sad stray cat. . . Now I'm a sad wet stray dog of a man

So I went from the creepy neurodivergent girl who loves her friends too much to the bad-tempered nerdy doctor who loves his friends too much...both are appropriate, oddly enough

😈//

I have a silly serious question:

Is it cheating if I flirt (as Monty) with other, say, Ada rp blogs? Or are they all the same character in this sense?

Just wondering if I'm going to have Ada on my ass about cheating on her with Ada lmao

I think abt this with actual Will and Monty. Like, if Montresor starts dating Will's clones, is that cheating???

This is three doritos away from becoming a horror story where a character must deal with his partner being the same person (and at the same time not being the same person) in dozens if not hundreds of versions of themself

Okay, I love this: Lenore rushing over to hug Annabel like "oh, God, thank goodness you're okay! Are you hurt? Why is there blood in your ear? Are you in pain?"

While the rest are looking at them like "🤨🏳️‍🌈?"

Every one probably think that these to are dating LMAO

but no, their just buddies

just an Aromantic and a lesbian teaming up to take over the world

There's a difference between best friends and

✨best friends ✨

I love the idea of someone - anyone - telling Prospero and Annabel that "they are a very nice couple". Hell, it could even be Ada saying that she gives them "her blessing", since they know she used to like Prospero

Anyway, whoever says it can see Prospero and Annabel's faces contort in absolute horror at the idea that they could be a thing. They'd gently deny it, of course, but you can see how they're about to retch at the thought lol

I fucking hate this. Let's see how bad can a good girl get.

I think there is an interesting thing going on here. Because the common thread I see between these three sequences is people placing arbitrary expectations on Annabel that she must fulfil: a fun toy for the Deans, a perfect socialite for her father, and a harmless damsel for Lenore

Yes, we can argue that this is Lenore playing along, because this scene occurs after Annabel prefers Duke to throw her under a balcony, so pushing her to show her as harmless to Duke and Pluto is fulfilling what Annabel has established. But I think this proves something else: consciously or unconsciously, Lenore encourages the self-imposed role of unbeatable queen that Annabel thinks is right, and as long as Annabel stays in that role, neither Annabel can get out of this fucked-up situation that's tearing her apart, nor can Lenore help her really

Something about Morella taking Berenice’s knife doesn’t seem right to me. Why does she suddenly want it ? For « safekeeping » ?? Girl you have no reason to think that that knife is safer with you than it is with her.

I have two theories :

1) she’s suspicious of Berenice. It seems a bit odd considering how trusting she’s been so far, even being friends with Annabel’s group for a while despite some of them being the opposite of trustworthy. Unless she’s pretending to be « naive » ?

2) she wants the knife for herself. Perhaps she’s not suspicious of Berenice, but she still takes the knife cause she’s planning to use it. For what ? It could either be self defense, perhaps she feels threatened in some way, but again, she doesn’t seem like it. Or, she’s planning to hurt someone, which seems unlike her but you never know.

I don’t know why but these two panels make it seem like she isn’t gonna give that knife back anytime soon.

Also.. she was panicking a minute ago, why is she suddenly so happy. It might be relief, but still.

I DON’T KNOW I CAN JUST TELL SOMETHING ISNT RIGHT

I like to think she suspects Berenice. But not suspicious like "you're a dangerous person, so I'll keep an eye on you". I don't know how to explain it, but Morella's attitude in this scene gives me the vibes of an older sister who sees her little brother/sister misbehaving or playing with something dangerous. She doesn't even feel the need to scold or confront, she just says "oh, no! That's dangerous, could you give it to me? I'll keep it for you and give it to you later", as you would with a small child

Funny thing: I don't use spotyfi and I have all my music downloaded in the same folder without any real order. And I think you can tell from the list that I'm the kind of person who listens to a lot of music from fictional works she likes and knows bands from the series/movies she watches (I also listen to a lot of covers):

- Sora to Utsuro - Sasanomaly (the first opening of Vanitas no Carte)

- The Hearse Song, the version of Madame Macabre

- El origen de Sun Wukong - Pascu and Rodri (went to the concert in Chile recently, couldn't talk for two days lol)

- Blue Moon, Billie Holliday version

- Sea of dreams by Oberhofer (appears in an episode of Bojack Horseman)

- Crossing Field by Lisa (literally the only good thing to come out of SAO along with SAO Abridge)

- Science Fiction/Double Feature by Richard O'Brien

- The end of This Chapter by Sonata Arctica

- Konoyubitomare by Junna (this is the opening 2 of Kakegurui)

My headcanon is that Annabel and Morella are the youngest in terms of age, no, there is no argument (will too maybe? Idk)

Okay, I love this because Annabel looks MUCH older than Morella (although I think it's because Morella looks "very childish". You know, the typical person who keeps getting asked for ID even though she's 20something). So the idea that Annabel is only, I don't know, a year or two older than Morella makes me laugh a lot

Medical information about Lenore's hips

Okay, not a funny thing: I fucked up my back around December. And after an MRI and a full spine x-ray, they kicked me in the ass to send me to a kinesiologist. And my thought was “well, if they're going to torture me with physical therapy, at least I'll end up with fanfic material”. Don't worry, I'm fine now and my kinesiologist had fun answering my questions about a 2D character with fucked up hips.

So I decided to sort out in one post the information my kinesiologist gave me and some other stuff I got from researching around.

Possible symptoms

Okay, this post is based on the following information provided by buddy @ghostselkie.

According to the places where she shows pain in the comic, it is very likely that Lenore fractured her pelvis this way.

The sacrum is a wedge-shaped bone that sits at the back of the pelvis between the hip bones. Five vertebrae in a person's spine fuse together to make this bone. They get progressively smaller toward the center, giving the bone its triangular shape. Since Lenore suffered a trauma fracture because a fucking tree fell on her, this would be a high-energy fracture, which would give her the following symptoms:

Treatment, rehabilitation and repercussions on daily life

Okay, let's move on to the part where my kinesiologist was having a bit of a discussion with his colleagues.

In a modern day AU, Lenore would have received a pelvis surgery where she would have definitely had screws put in. This would have sent her straight into a post-operative physical rehabilitation process of several months. How long? 6 months minimum.

In this process, Lenore would have regained strength in the muscles that were damaged, regained control of the nerves that were shredded and taken steps to live pain free.

This is where my kinesiologist and one of his colleagues differed somewhat. Apparently, pelvic injuries are tricky because, although the pelvis is pretty tough and has a good margin to heal, it's also hard to get things 100% right, so: although they both agreed that Lenore would walk again, my kinesiologist said that with enough rehab she could live without problems with, perhaps, occasional pain if she overstressed herself (something that could also hurt her). But one of his colleagues was more skeptical and commented that she would probably need a Canadian elbow permanently.

Now, in the canon of when she was alive, she would have received neither an operation nor rehabilitation. This means that, although the broken bones fused together well since the doctors were able to identify the site of the break and immobilize Lenore so she could heal, without the screws it is very likely that something was slightly off and that is why she seems to be limping a bit. Add to this that, without physical rehabilitation, Lenore lacks strength in the muscles that were first damaged and then lost strength due to lack of use when she was prostrate, plus her nerves must also have suffered and make it difficult for her to control the damaged area well.

That is the reason why, for example, when Annabel falls and she holds her, it hurts: Lenore's muscles need assistance to support her own body weight and forcing them beyond that is like you overexerting yourself in a way you are not physically prepared for: something is going to tear, damage or break.

Consequences in ✨spicy✨ subjects

Here's a Pluto protector of NSFW content, what's below it talks about the consequences to Lenore's sex life of getting hurt in this way.

Of course, I researched this online and didn't ask my kinesiologist. You can find the full articles here and here.

Basically, Lenore is fortunate to be a lesbian woman because ideally her hips should remain static and not be pressured, which would be quite complicated if her partner were a male because penetrative sex puts a LOT of pressure on the hips.

In short, this is all a matter of posture to avoid any damage.

If Lenore is being top, she can either sit her partner on her lap (this while she is sitting in a chair or on the bed with her feet flat on the floor), ask her partner to lie down in a position where Lenore can lie on her side on her sore side and touch her without moving too much, or hug her partner from behind while they are both lying down.

If she is being bottom, it may help to have a cushion placed on her pelvis to keep things from moving, to lie on her side, and if her legs are spread apart, this should be done very carefully.

In both cases, her and her partner standing is also a quite friendly posture for her hip problems.

Also, but not least: Lenore cannot do scissors. There is no way this could not seriously hurt her, so it is completely out of the question.

I fucking knew it. Some people write fanfics where Lenore and Annabel are wilding and I know that with those hips she wouldn't be able to do that.

I think it depends. Bodies are different, wounds heal in different ways and, although I agree that 100% in the flashbacks Lenore would have to be careful with the things she does in the bedroom because otherwise she could seriously hurt herself, even a kinesiologist told me that, with modern medical technology, someone with those wounds could have a fairly normal life (which I think would extend to her sex life)

Also, I think we should always keep in mind that fanfiction is a self-indulgent writing process and, under that lens, if someone wants their favorite lesbians to do spicy things without having to worry about Annabel having to take Lenore to the hospital for a dislocated hip, that's something I think is quite valid, just as much as someone who wants to properly represent a person with a physical disability
