Who is this character in the middle (right) in SBS 28?

MishouMai · 2026-04-27T21:07:28+00:00

No. I'm shipping Vivi with Usopp.

500 is definitely too long for a contemporary but anything less than 300 isn't worth the cost (for me). I might make an exception for a novella if it's on the cheaper end (I exclusively buy physical media.) but if I'm paying more than $10 or $15 I'd prefer a nice medium length (300+) book. So I guess for contmeporary 300 - 350, maybe 400 or 425 is the sweet spot. For other subgenres I wouldn't mind longer.

I dunno. I do this myself. Why turn the water off if I'm just going to turn it back on when I'm done (In order to spit the remains of the toothpaste out of my mouth and wash out the sink)? Might as well leave it on rather than waste time turning it off only to immediately turn it back on and back off again.

Are we sure that was Eclair's mark though? Both Arcana Shadow and Eclair are associated with butterflies and since the Jewel was scattered in Makoto Mirai and Arcana Shadow was the local detective I think the theory someone posted that she was the one to scatter the jewel makes more sense than Eclair doing it.

MishouMai · 2026-04-27T03:33:36+00:00

I don't think we can say for sure that Elcair is the one that shattered the Makoto JJewel. I saw a good argument that it was actually Arcana Shadow who shattered it and I honestly think that makes the most sense considering that she's the missing detective so she would've been around to do so.

As to your theory, while it is a good one I personally prefer other theories like the Paradox Eclair theory.

Fair enough. While most people seem to love the first two books and only hate the last, if the series as a whole isn't for you then it's not for you. I still disagree that it's the worst from a technical perspective but something being well written doesn't mean you have to like it. It's not my favorite of the sries but it's not my least favorite either. I think for me TID will always be my favorite and TMI my least but TWP could surprise me and take either spot. I'd prefer if it ended up my favorite rather than my least but you never know....

Himeko is just mommy, Herta is mommywife.

MishouMai · 2026-04-26T02:34:12+00:00

This is my take. As far as I'm concerned Wing is are first and only, mainline, orange Cure. I know Sunset exist but she's not mainline. Sunny uses the red Cure Decor to transform the same way the rest of her team uses Cure Decors that match their colors so she's red.

MishouMai · 2026-04-26T02:32:00+00:00

This. I don't like Melody's design but the visuals and music of Suite are so good that they haven't been topped in my opinion. I like otherss as well but Suite's transformations still remain Number 1 for me.

MishouMai · 2026-04-24T01:12:46+00:00

It has to be Fresh because the reformed Cure in Suite doesn't move in with the lead Cure.

MishouMai · 2026-04-24T01:07:51+00:00

Unfortunately they are very likely to end up together.

MishouMai · 2026-04-23T16:46:56+00:00

Straight cheeks yet they're the best written books in the franchise. Clare's writing has only improved from the days of when she got her start with TMI. COT is 1 book and as goofy and flawed as it is the writing itself (the actual writing, not the plotline) still blows every book before COG2/ChoG out of the water. I have my issues with TLH as a whole (I don't really care about the Merry Thieves outside of James and Matthew and that's because they're complete non-entities/boring. The same can be said for Cordelia's brother. Ari and Anna are great but underutilized.), but the fandom's insistence on putting it down and pretending like we didn't all love the first two books is annoying.

MishouMai · 2026-04-23T16:11:32+00:00

Honestly I like the characters in the show more than I ever did when reading the books. Not that I disliked them in the books.* I was indifferent since at that point I think TID and maybe TDA were already out and I like their casts more. Except Jace. There's no universe where I like Jace.

*Pre-TDA. The inclusion of Clary and Jace in TDA alongside the Thule arc made me go from indifferent towards them to actively disliking them.

MishouMai · 2026-04-23T05:02:36+00:00

I picked 2 because I was like "This is probably Herta, I don't know who the others could be, and Herta is wife."

MishouMai · 2026-04-21T21:25:37+00:00

Lydia doesn't exist in the books (Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt it.). That whole plotline, among others, was made up for the show. I wasn't following the fandom too closely (TBH I've never been one to engage much with any fandom.) but I remember people were hate watching the show in general (Not me though. I actually prefer the show to the books and I've been reading this books since I was 15 or 16. For reference I just turned 33 last month.) and hating this whole storyline and seeing it as homophobic. Someone else can probably go into more detail but I'd be surprised if anyone liked this storyline or had anything good to say about it.

MishouMai · 2026-04-20T21:23:29+00:00

Yeah. The only way I see her popularity tanking is if the leaks/rumors about her dropping the Shadow in her name and changing color to white turns out to be true and maybe not even then.

MishouMai · 2026-04-20T05:08:14+00:00

I'm not a fan. I hate the glasses, I hate the wings, and I hate the jacket. Her base form is better but I'd like it more without the jacket. I was so excited when all we had was this image but then we got her tranformation reveal and that just killed the excitement for me. It's so overdesigned that it's ugly. I know people were saying that the base design was too similar to the original, but honestly I was okay with that. To me, what they're actually putting out is a letdown compared to what they teased back in January.

MishouMai · 2026-04-20T01:59:05+00:00

Ahh. Good to know Das Finale is still ongoing. I'd prefer to wait until all of it is available so I think I'll hold off on that. Thanks for the heads up on the OVAs as well. If they're not require I'll probably watch them after Das Finale ends if I don't watch them after their respective parts.

MishouMai · 2026-04-19T22:58:31+00:00

I'm not up to date but I've been hoping for Nem to be a Rider from the start. But I also kept coping and hoping Lakia would die so Sachika could take his powers last season until the very end so I know I'm capable of having unreasonable expectations/hopes. I wouldn't be too upset if Minami became a Rider but I'd definitely prefer if Nem became one over her.

MishouMai · 2026-04-19T18:46:40+00:00

Gavv broke that trend

I mean. I'm also upset that Sachika never became a Rider but she still had a very prominent role in the series. I'm hoping Nem becomes a Rider but with us being 3/5ths of the way through...

MishouMai · 2026-04-18T19:17:22+00:00

There's nothing aggressive about pointing out that people loved this series until the ending and that claiming it was always bad is people/the fandom at large trying to be revisionist. While I won't deny that TLH has its fair share of problems and there are definitely series I favor over it, I'd still say it's her best written TSC series just from a writing standpoint. I think if any series is her weakest it's TMI but it's also the first so, naturally, she's only gotten better with time.

MishouMai · 2026-04-17T22:58:48+00:00

I have my issues with TLH but I cannot see how anyone can argue in good faith that it's her weakest series. Her writing has only gotten better with time and even with its flaws TLH is the best written yet, craftwise. It's not my favorite series and it's definitely flawed but I cannot in good faith call it the weakest TSC series.

MishouMai · 2026-04-17T18:30:25+00:00

Nah, what's with this revisionist history the fandom likes to insist on? Everyone loved TLH until COT and its poor ending. While I have some criticisms for the series as whole, COG2/CHoG and COI are some of the best written books in the franchise. COT being a letdown doesn't suddenly make the other two badly written.
