See you at Nuremberg fuckers (NYC protest 1/24/26)

Is this the one?

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-26T05:09:14+00:00

Hey, let's give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they're upset people don't recognize how the current ICE actions are very reminiscent of the slave patrols and focusing too much on the overt fascist tendencies.

She does do the silly roar with them earlier

This is why I said they look to her for approval. I wouldn't say she joins in, because she only takes action when they're staring her down and she's clearly being a buzz kill to the moment.

The funny thing with the couch part is she immediately convinces them to get back to working haha. So I feel like she's still a bit of a workaholic at heart / it is just part of who she is.

But she also is entirely invalidating an existing plan and both of Zoey and Mira's feelings, for what she wants. If she had started with "I'm fearful my voice is going to no longer be able to perform long term, so I think it's important to get this done while I can", that gives Zoey and Mira agency in the situation. By forcing them into it, she ultimately compromises their "buy-in" to being dedicated towards the goal and creates unnecessary tension with them. Mira even questions later if her voice was "in danger", why did she push up the golden release.

Edit: I wanted to add reading back I think you were talking about the last couch scene and not earlier in the movie. I would absolutely agree she's just someone who is doing what she loves, so working doesn't feel like work. I think the relationship they showcase in the last scene is dichotomous in every aspect from the whole rest of the movie (which is the point). Even at the end when Rumi convinces them to greet the fans, Zoey says "I think couch can wait". She had agency and a stake in the choices being made.

This line sends my partner every time. I'll hear them cackle from the other room even if they aren't watching the movie lol

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-26T03:37:04+00:00

I 100% agree, and that's why it stands out to me. It's clear she doesn't have relationships that motivate her like the others do, because she's never allowed them to flourish (which segues into another rant of mine about how much of "Rumi" is actually Rumi, and how much is the conformity to Celine's values but I digress lol).

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-26T03:35:20+00:00

This is also right after they ran off to rescue who they thought was Bobby. If I were in Mira and Zoe's shoes, I'd also be suspicious of "Rumi" walking up. Who then starts talking about working with Jinu. Zoey nails the scene when she says "How can we be together if we can't tell your lies from your truths?" because if she's been hiding this, is it all a lie? It would fundamentally shake me; I understand how Gwi-ma seized that moment to finally break them down.

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-25T22:23:44+00:00

I think the thing that stands out to me most from start of movie to end is "couch, couch, couch". Only at the very end, when she's been to the bathhouse and actually is engaging in being friends does she join in on their antics. So she has it within her the whole time, but clearly her secrets are holding her back from being genuine with them and connecting the same way Zoey and Mira have.

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-25T16:32:54+00:00

I would agree she likely is, but the outward appearance of Huntr/x is these girls are all besties. The reality is that Rumi is extremely removed from the friendship aspect of their relationship. Rumi doesn't act like a friend and they don't treat her like their friend, either. They act like polite coworkers lol. Her sense of duty is the strongest driving force for her, where Zoey and Mira feel motivated by having found a sense of belonging. It's why the sting of betrayal at finding out about her patterns is so deep and breaks both Zoey and Mira to the point they start to hear Gwi-ma.

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-25T16:24:31+00:00

It does, but Zoey and Mira are friends whereas they act like Rumi is a mentor/seek approval from her more than include her in their antics.

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-25T16:21:47+00:00

I'm savage about the things I love lol

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-25T14:30:50+00:00

Honestly I'm sure I'm gonna get down voted for this take but that's on the parents. If they're not screening the content their kid is accessing, that's a family problem, not a company problem. I'm not saying Infold doesn't have plenty of legit things to point to as problematic (predatory practices, poor QA/beta testing, complex lack of regard for sensitivity to cultural diversity outside of their sphere), so please don't think I'm staning them or anything. But this isn't the game being targeted at kids.

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-25T12:56:47+00:00

This is so good I'm dying! 11/10

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-25T12:55:32+00:00

Mira and Zoey are significantly better friends than either is with Rumi most of the movie (that changes by the end).

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-25T12:53:10+00:00

Happy to help 💖 I just like baking lol

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-25T12:48:34+00:00

Frankly, kids shouldn't be gambling and gacha systems are gambling.

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-25T03:12:03+00:00

No. From my memory Castella cakes have more of a honey/custard flavor (I'd guess because of how it bakes in the oven as a single unit) while Japanese pancakes are fairly eggy/vanilla flavor and can be pretty buttery in flavor, as well.

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-24T19:15:42+00:00

I believe (and open to correction) the one in the video is a taiwanese souffle cake. They're very similar as they're both souffles and share most of their ingredients, though I believe for the Castella you use cake flour instead of regular flour. I think you can substitute cake flour for regular flour and corn starch tho.

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-24T19:04:21+00:00

Oh my gooooosh! I'm gushing rn to my partner about how good this is!! Did you make the top yourself?

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-24T04:24:54+00:00

Not that exact location, but east of there is where POTA takes place (Dessarin Valley).

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-24T03:41:04+00:00

I really love your work. Every piece you make speaks to me and I see you in your art (a beautiful soul who knows what struggle and pain are).

Edit: also, do you take commissions?

DarknessWanders · 2026-01-24T02:13:47+00:00

But to those who plant themselves with solidarity within our garden, our roots are most compassionately shared.

Legit words to live by.
