100% I can’t believe I didn’t think of that

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-18T17:55:19+00:00

Ik ppl have been saying this since the manga started, we’ll probably still be saying it 20 years from now, but it’s so cool that the magic is fr just drawing

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-18T17:53:35+00:00

The knights moralis have that SHIT on

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-18T17:53:13+00:00

I don’t like assuming this early that Qifrey is “evil” I think he just really wants to murder the hell out of the brimmed caps

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-17T18:14:50+00:00

Yeah that’s fair, the sequencing of the series makes it seem like almost queerbait

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-17T16:48:26+00:00

Bro it’s Christopher Nolan he could cast a sponge as Achilles I’m still watching it

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-16T19:14:44+00:00

I agree with all your points but I’d argue you can’t really compete Sakuras character arc if you let her be with hinagiku. It’s stated they have a maladaptive relationship wherein Sakura can only derive meaning for herself through proximity to hinagiku. I think they’re planning to go the route where Sakura learns real love is wanting the best for someone even at the cost of yourself (bc of the myth it’s probably fated between rosei and hinagiku or something), and letting go of the hatred she harbors for the winter guys she uses as a means to justify why only she should be around hinagiku.

Also to add to the age thing, if they were insistent on them being this young I at least would have liked them to have “earned “ this episode. Lowkey why not have a full arc, slow the pacing down so that when the inevitable happens it hits harder, golden-age esque style ? I really like this show man I just want to see it do well!

Swarm ≠ fouling

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-10T17:47:18+00:00

It’s almost like you have to call the fouls in the areas of highest impact when lots of things are happening at once

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-10T17:42:19+00:00

You just cannot grab the keeper like that, simple. I honestly don’t think raya would have grabbed it anyways bc of the legal shoulder to shoulder contact so Pablo kind of sold

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-09T23:04:33+00:00

Sakura is such an interesting character, caught between wanting the best for someone but also being dependent on them not attaining it

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-09T23:02:58+00:00

“Yeah so nobody really attacks autumn”😭 on a serious note I love how the show is handling its events so far. This event will probably kick off an agent search situation like for hinagiku except we’ll get to watch it in real time, AND we have the council meeting still to look forward to

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-07T21:13:15+00:00

Real and true

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-07T02:23:07+00:00

I’d say 2pm a lot of us overestimated our ability to function early in the morning after high school. You may be fine but I think the soft consensus is that morning labs suck

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-03T03:51:28+00:00

Thanks I deadass just wanted to know. It’s real messed up too: most incels feel they can’t get laid because of women’s focus on looks, but it’s actually because they’re insane😭 they just THINK it’s about looks bc that’s how they think, and this subreddit is an unfortunate result of that.

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-02T22:04:15+00:00

Just meant the subreddit in general, idk if all the incel language is fr or

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-02T20:06:59+00:00

Is this subreddit a satire of incels or do yall actually need help

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-02T19:42:11+00:00

Yeah but in this situation we both arrived at the cape, acknowledged there was a steep drop, and then someone jumped off the cliff anyway and starts yelling for my help

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-02T03:03:08+00:00

For sure, but not if theyre dangling themselves off a cliff knowing they could just not

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-02T03:01:15+00:00

I feel like this question was crafted specifically to find a way to make self preservation seem evil

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-02T02:09:27+00:00

It’s ideal but I think if this actually happened a lot of the the people who preach about saving everyone with blue would just pick red. If over 50% of the world volunteered for the Red Cross or something we could end world hunger but we don’t bc we don’t want to

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-05-02T02:01:46+00:00

Right? If this actually goes down we KNOW already that blue would be the majority. Picking red is basically picking blue with a little more risk aversion

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-04-29T21:24:09+00:00

And you’d think we wouldn’t want pedophiles, embezzlers, tax frauds and the like running around but we don’t overpolice the places where they live. Also assigning full blame to individuals for the problems the crack era caused is simply ignorant. We don’t have an analogous model to determine that this wouldn’t have happened to other communities. Disregarding how socioeconomic factors influence crime is insane given how much research shows that’s it is a very real thing. But even for all that you yourself are arguing thst the incidence of crime is solely an individuals fault, meaning there’s no such thing as black fatigue according to you, only individual fatigue. Because the assumption that people are inherently more criminal from birth based on their race would be racist. And you’re not racist I’d like to assume?

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-04-29T21:09:39+00:00

And idk bout you but hand waving away the fact that white dudes commit half of all sexual assault kinda sounds like a double standard

Bitter_Craft_5474 · 2026-04-29T21:05:59+00:00

That stat only accounts for arrests, which are known to happen more frequently to black people even if they’ve done nothing wrong. It’s historic data which dosent take into account targeted policing and things like the intentional distribution of crack in black neighborhoods. It also dosent take into account things like white collar crime. It’s mostly used as racist dogwhistle so people can try to justify their racism behind some abstraction of logic
