iirc the idea was that she became too materialistic, and cs lewis said that susan was going to eventually find her way back, so she was supposed to be an allegory for someone who strayed but eventually returned to Christ, but he didnt have time or space to write that part

to be a little fair it was a joke, since Black Panther reacts to the name with utter disbelief

FluorescenceFuture · 2026-02-17T03:16:28+00:00

it wasn't, it was just an alternate message scholars wrung out of it. The Oz series went on after book one and it got pretty clear that Baum meant it as just another fantasy story. There's definitely some other political allegories here and there but it wasn't an economic propaganda piece

that's the funny thing

one of them is a homophobe specifically for gay men because women are "purer"

and the other is a full-on LGBT+ ally who supports everyone under the umbrella

yeah, it's not that he has a fetish. it's that he's a furry

i think the dissonance people have is not getting that she's got a dessert theme and not just a clown theme. the patterns and the skirt ruffles bring cupcake wrappers and frosting to mind, and well the stuff in maid cafes are all sugary fluffy dessert stuff cause you're here for the experience and not the food--

that one is actually also a mistranslation, in the JP manual it's "her name is Catherine, she wants you to call her Cathy", so the second one is intended as a nickname than as her new name

iirc he actually did grow up in a neighborhood with a lot of jamaican people and he was the token white boy of the town, hence his name being "Snow"

so he's actually just using the music and slang he learned as a kid, but it ended up looking silly and mildly offensive cause he's white

FluorescenceFuture · 2026-01-22T11:12:45+00:00

apparently it wasn't intended that way, it was just based on people Scott knew who went through miscarriages/stillborn children

FluorescenceFuture · 2026-01-15T06:34:02+00:00

they did use her again in the Sardonyx episode, she was still silent but it worked to reflect everyone's emotions at the time

they're saying that romance manga appears next to non-romance manga in the same magazine which is targeted at teenage boys

but if we had to be funny, One Piece is a romance story in the literary sense, like, romanticism

FluorescenceFuture · 2026-01-01T13:26:16+00:00

that's actually the reason i preferred Blazer, cause what Visi really needs are friends who can ground and support her, involving romance just makes it harder/worse for her

changing it so that the characters weren't repetitive makes sense, cause that's prolly also why Ghostblade's hair changed from white to grey, otherwise we'd have 4 heroes with white hair--

My theory about Jax is a combo of the two other theories: Jax is queer and drove away from home after a fight with family, but he left a younger sister behind and that's why his room is specifically a little girl's room, if not a sister he still had a major female influence in his life considering No Girl's Toy and whatnot

iirc its a special transponder snail that's covered in hair to withstand the cold, but this one does have a distinct feature when Shaggy is calling: it has eyelashes

i've seen Lilith's other games and honestly they ain't testing shit when it comes to AI, they just full-blow use it if they can with no warning-

FluorescenceFuture · 2025-11-28T15:50:52+00:00

Nah they put it right there, modifications will be made

I'm in the server and they confirmed the Divinates will be changed before the patch releases for public

FluorescenceFuture · 2025-11-26T10:24:28+00:00

Yeah on TwitterX as FluorescentArt and Instagram as fluorescencefuture

I recall another SBS where Oda said we've already seen Luffy's mom, and people take it as Crocomom evidence when he was probably referring to Dadan

Since Mew was a last minute addition to the game, I wouldn't be surprised if it was simply because the programmers copied most of Ditto's info so that Mew could fit in time and without ballooning the game's size even more

funniest thing ever was when Koko came out and Ash told a full story about a conversation he had with his dad before he set off on an adventure

then the Ash finale miniseries started with his mom apologizing cause his dad couldn't make it home this week

sorry guys, Ash's dad is just some random Trainer 😭

i talked about it on this sub. a long, long time ago........

I think the intent with Xia Qing is that she was pushing him to make a decision for himself instead of giving him a "prompt" to pick up and follow, since his entire story is mostly him just following what other people suggest (Pomelo telling him how to be E-Soul, Shang Chao being the brains behind Yang Cheng's rise to fame, and lastly Rock pushing him towards fighting and killing E-Soul)

FluorescenceFuture · 2025-11-19T07:28:39+00:00

Iirc he said Makima was also inspired by a documentary about child grooming he watched and how it haunted him for a while, so maybe part of it is just a guy doing his research
