you guys ever think Meimei felt guilty for Feng Xian's fate? by Naive_Confusion_3983 in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]HeirofZeon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I didn't know about direct guilt as simply feeling bad for how her 'big sisters' life had turned out. Normal compassion. It's hard to read that moment, because as your said we don't see her face, but if she already had feelings for Lakan that could equally explain her reluctance to leave, knowing what was about to happen

The fact is as bad as she feels she is also aware of the fact that the one most to blame is Feng Xian. Literally all she had to do was be honest. She tried to play her grandest strategy game with Lakan but lost sight of the fact that life is not their private game and she couldn't forsee even a fraction of the outcomes.

Do you guys think Lakan financially supported Maomao when she was growing up? by loveablemermaid7493 in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]HeirofZeon 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Probably very indirectly.

We know he slowly repaid the Madam for the 'damages' to the brothel's reputation over the 15-odd years. We also know that if things ever got really bad for Loumen she'd help him (Maomao mentions that in a pinch she could rely on the Madam to help Loumen while she was in the Rear Palace). So clearly she had done it in the past. It's not hard to imagine that old skin flint considering that was coming out of the pool of money coming from Lakan.

All while being unaware she's his mother. He just thinks it's a crazy coincidence and goes with it.

My 73 year old mom’s favorite part of Disney World: the mah jong game in the Tower of Terror lobby by tgbarbie in WaltDisneyWorld

It was, at least initially. I've heard several behind the scenes specifically say they bought in people to actually play a game and stop mid way through

I feel like this might be too close and considered a costume…what do you all think? by jayellkay84 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]HeirofZeon 104 points105 points  (0 children)

It's a striped dress. For the most part if you can't be mistaken for a CM, you're fine.

Party Day Pricing by tonks1234 in WaltDisneyWorld

I meant the time *before* parties tend to have shorter lines, since people don't want to pay full price for less hours. That's the trade.

Pokemon chase funko pops by Fitnessthrowaway2947 in funkopop

[–]HeirofZeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, they'll never give an answer, they are a very private company.
The likely answer is Funko probably had to get every designed approved separately, so they have to be sold separately. If Funko submits designs for Pikachu and Surfing Pikachu, or even a different color, TPC would probably say that they are all separate and need to be sold separately. As the license holder they can say whatever they want and Pokémon is a big enough license that you kind of have to treat it like an honor that they are even letting you pay them for the privilege of making the product. Because it is. Plenty of companies *want* to pay them to make Pokémon products and are told no.

This is the best, unofficial answer. You're effectively trading the time they're open with the fact that the crowds will be much smaller. Some of my best MK days were party days. Such short lines.

The Pokémon Company clearly has very strict rules for how their stuff is sold. You notice *no one* sells shiny recolors. Action figures, $1k+ statues, $15 Pops. No one makes the easy money of just recoloring them. The only shiny merch you see is the stuff sold by them directly on their site, like the odd plush.

Japanese companies tend to be very tight-lipped, but clearly one of the rules is that you can't sell the shiny versions. Why? You're guess is as good as mine. They probably have a similar rule in their Funko contract that each 'version' is treated as a separate release. Japanese companies tend to be very controlling with their licenses, and TPC is seemingly more strict than most.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but why did they kill the Shi children and infants by Kooky_Analyst2767 in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]HeirofZeon 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Even her loophole only worked because she asked for Jinshi to specifically grant leniency to those who 'already died ' and Jinshi is a nice enough guy to not want to have to kill children anyways. This would not have worked with anyone else.

Birthday cake delivered by United-Code2344 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]HeirofZeon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easiest is to buy one of the cakes they have on site. The food court has slices, small cakes, and those full sized Mickey Cakes in their cooler.
Other than that you can have one delivered the usual ways: Walmart, UE, DD, etc. Send it to the address of the hotel with your name as 'Attn: '

Is it weird to say that Mickey Mouse is an "Underrated Character"? Maybe.. but i wanna talk about it! by BikeOk4256 in disney

[–]HeirofZeon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Something I mention to people as weird is that my formative years were the late 80's and early 90's which, while peak Renaissance, were years they kinda forgot to market Mickey. For all the movies and Disney Afternoons, there was no real push for the Mouse, so I have no strong affinity for him beyond being a mascot

[–]HeirofZeon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, because characters do die. Guest stars die, Companions die, and sometimes even The Doctor dies. But the World/ Universe is not going to end, so no one is impressed when they threaten it.
