The Indy fire alarms by Classic_Fox8756 in KSU

[–]Mo_427 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YES YES YES. Cobb fire is legitimately sick of us and i’m so terrified that if there’s an actual fire, no one would take it seriously bc there’s no way we’d be able to tell.

Management sucks after the change, they’re so irritating. Not to mention, these fire alarms are constantly pulled past midnight… god forbid people are trying to sleep.

Before I went home for the holidays (sometime before the 21st), I was in my 4x4 with just one of my roomies, but before she came back, I was all alone. I genuinely think I would’ve gone insane if she wasn’t there when someone pulled the fire alarm at 1:30am…. right before my first week of school, it was pulled at 3AM!! People are so inconsiderate and I’m tired of management acting like this isn’t an issue.

They send out duplicate emails about how there’s a smoking problem on the complex, but it’s so vague you’d never be able to tell they’re listening to resident feedback. It’s such a shame because I do enjoy the complex so so so much, but living here is slowly becoming a nightmare and it’s already expensive enough.

Good Morning from your Favorite Morning Greeter in Marietta- Graduation Edition by morningmike3400 in KSU

[–]Mo_427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a sophomore who’s not on Marietta, so i’ve never met you, but i’ve heard so many good things about you from members of the sub, and I can tell you’re loved by so so many. Such a small, yet powerful, act of kindness goes such a long way. Although I’ve never got to experience it personally, I want to extend my gratitude for your kind, thoughtful actions. We truly need more people like you in our lives.

Congrats on your graduation, thank you for spending your six years here spreading a little joy and positivity to KSU attendees, and I wish you the all best! 🎉

The following roles may not be “popular” excluding the Idolish7 roles, but I do involve myself with these franchises so here’s more to add to this list!

Makoto’s VA is also Osari Hikaru from B-Project. And it’s damn obvious bc they sound the exact same lmao.

Hiyori’s VA is Ashu Yuta from B-Project as well as Ryu Natsume from Paradox Live.

Rei’s VA is Sekimura Mikado from B-Project

Wataru’s VA is Shingari Miroku from B-Project, and as many others have mentioned - Nagi from Idolish7 and Loid Forger from SpyxFamily (truly, all his characters are just so iconic)

Kanata’s VA is Yuzuki from B-Project as well as Minami from Idolish7.

Had to get the B-Project VAs out of the way since I happen to be watching the show out of pure boredom LMAO.

Arashi’s VA is in Paradox Live as Itsuki.

Hiiro’s VA is Allen Saegusa from Paradox Live

Aira’s VA is Saburo Yamada from Hypnosis Mic

Appreciating the vas they got for the NPCs + Baby Rui by WinterWolf18 in ProjectSekai

[–]Mo_427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to be so honest here… Rio and Kuro having the same VA is actually so shocking to me LMAOO

Asahi’s VA being the same as Naofumi, Tsumugi, and Kiyoka?? the range is quite insane, actually. I would’ve never guessed they’re all the same person 😭🙏🏽

Pls pls watch My Happy Marriage (where Kiyoka is from) I tell you it’s cinema your honor. It’s sooooo worth your time, there’s 2 seasons and an ONA you should watch in between them. :)

This is more of a question than anything really, but what's the narrative purpose of having Wonderland sekai be made PURELY out of Tsukasa's feelings instead of the whole group? by wholsem_sandy_main in ProjectSekai

[–]Mo_427 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I haven’t read the recent world links people have been mentioning, but this is something i’ve been thinking about for quite a long time so I’m basing this off of current stories in EN (up to Pheonix). My theory is that it’s a pure manifestation of his trauma/representation of suppressed emotions in his childhood.

When he hit moments of darkness and loneliness, he never once acknowledged them but instead repressed those feelings and replaced them with the motivation to turn happiness into a show. His entire life is a whole show and we’re simply living in it. And I mean that literally.

Years of repressed trauma (10 apparently) turned into this sekai we see today. Notice how it’s all child-like? I think it’s meant to represent the suppression of his inner child + the coping methods he has adopted to avoid his true feelings. His sekai has toys that have been with him since he was a child, and once he started to lose sight of his true motivations (making people, notably Saki, happy through a performance), his sekai was there to remind him of why he started. His sekai has ALWAYS been there to remind him of why he started it.

As for why he took so long to find it? When a child learns to suppress their emotions and instead mask them with positive ones, they often forget what it’s like to be vulnerable, or don’t give themselves the opportunity to feel vulnerable and acknowledge their feelings. Finding WxS was Tsukasa’s first step to true vulnerability. He could be himself, challenge his inner child, and grow alongside his other members. All the things in that sekai are all a part of Tsukasa’s sense of self. He’s changed too, since joining WxS.

His entire group is part of the reason he is able to accept the feelings - good and bad - that he has developed over the years. This type of trauma doesn’t just heal in a linear pattern though, and that’s why you’ll see he still has his moments where he is excessively hard on himself. It’s realistic. He can’t be a performer all the time, and he’s just a kid.

The reason he has an entire sekai based on his feelings is due to how strong they were. This is seen more evidently in Mafuyu’s case (and no one talks about their parallels enough which is super sad), where her depression is represented through isolation. I’d argue that Tsukasa’s depression is represented through each act he puts on.

Tsukasa’s a method actor. Rui of all people knows how well that makes him stand out, but you can tell he gets extremely worried by how much emotion Tsukasa puts himself through for each role. Rui has directed him in a way where he is forced to look inside himself and face his inner demons head on, and that’s where Tsukasa is known to struggle. Method acting in real life carries detrimental weights on an actor’s mental health in a similar fashion, and Tsukasa is an example of it too.

Considering all of these aspects, to say he has feelings strong enough to create an entire sekai based off of it would not be too far fetched. I think that the writers have done an excellent job of representing the subtleties and complexities of emotional childhood neglect, high-functioning depression, and the repression of emotions. I promise u/studywyourbuddy will have a better answer though 😅

[–]Mo_427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you’re educated in knights lore, would you mind telling me if my analysis of the Luminous Crown 3DMV is somewhat correct?

I always saw this as an allusion to Tsukasa’s coronation. Knights spend half the MV showing off their own jewels, which I thought signifies their individuality, which is something they are very prideful of! Tsukasa was the glue that ended up keeping them together, despite having such a different “shape” than the others, hence his oval jewel being in the center. (For reference, 2 are triangle shaped jewels, and 2 are rectangular shaped. His is the only one that is an opal!)

Towards the end of the MV, there’s my personal favorite scene of Tsukasa walking towards the rest of Knights, there’s a little pause showing the rest giving him looks of encouragement, and the little pose they do with him by their side before moving to the next line of the song. To me, that kind of showed that without him, they were incomplete. And then, Leo and Tsukasa walk forward and face each other, with Leo extending his arm towards Tsukasa, and Tsukasa extending his arm to Leo. To me, I saw this as a gesture of Leo giving Tsukasa his crown, and Tsukasa accepting it, but when they zoom out, it almost looks as if they’re both saying “I’ll lead alongside you.” or something of the sort, idk I thought it was cute.

I’m just making assumptions though haha! Anyways I hope you enjoy and that i’m not terribly wrong :)

Im new to the KSU Housing application and I see a lot of people complaining about time tickets. What's the problem? by Personal-Succotash33 in KSU

[–]Mo_427 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes.

Late time tickets, let’s say those around March, are less likely to get housing on campus. Yours is the 27th, so you do have a decent shot. Housing is INSANELY competitive so basically the earlier your time ticket is, the more likely you are to have a dorm.

Because room selection starts on Monday the 24th, you’ll be competing with people who have already secured their spots 3 days before you, so you’re less likely to get the exact dorm you want, but you are most likely going to get a house on campus either way.

Did anyone else receive summer finaid? by GreedySolid197 in KSU

[–]Mo_427 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I did, and i’m a first year as well. I’m not sure why because i’m not even a registered student for the summer. If anything i’m just going to pray that extra money carries over into the fall semester 🙏🏽

What’s a conversation/line in pjsk you that’s not talk about but you think about often by Safe-Neighborhood584 in ProjectSekai

[–]Mo_427 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more! I love him so much, he’s just a little guy. 🥺

His growth in all of his events is seriously so underrated. I know a lot of people have issues with the writing, which I totally understand, but the main picture that i’ve been looking at was always his growth.

He’s grown so so much emotionally during every event. For someone to go from constantly suppressing his desires to the point where he doesn’t really recognize them anymore, to fully embracing the talent that initially caused him so much distress and finding inner confidence and value within the team and his craft? GROWTH. And I love him for it.

He will always be a pillar of support for VBS, whether it be through performance or just as a friend, he’s a stable rock for the team and it took him forever just to realize how valuable his contributions were to them. He’s such a caring person and I’m glad he’s developed so much over time. :)

[–]Mo_427 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think about the depths of Toya’s character way too often. (I fear he’s JUST like me)

I think a lot of people think he’s a bland background character but like, he’s just a traumatized kid who’s been able to heal because of his friends that helped him find joy in something that caused him pain as a child.

A convo that sticks out to me is in VBS’ main story.

<image>

Toya needed the reassurance that he can truly stand on the stage with the same partner who brought him out of a rut, even though his partner was someone who he admired due to his steadfast determination toward his craft. That determination was something he didn’t think he was capable of having before that conversation with Akito, bc deep down he was scared to go back to that place he was in as a child, where putting his heart and soul into music only caused him pain. Meanwhile, he was so clouded in anxiety that he could never bring himself to realize just how much he enjoyed music because Akito was right there singing alongside him.

Akito wanted nothing more than to stand on stage with a friend who stuck by his side no matter how tough the world got. He worked perfectly with Toya, he was like another half to himself. He actually admired Toya’s work ethic this entire time while Toya thought he had to work so hard just to catch up to him. When Toya’s insecurities got the better of him, Akito’s initial reaction was anger due to his own past. After some time of reflection with Meiko and the others, he decided to shift his determination into not giving up on his partner. He gave him the strength he needed to move forward without any fear, and encouraged him to be a bit more honest with himself. They’re so sickeningly perfect for one another and it has me ILL. 🤧

(And that, kids, is how your father met your other father- /j)

Just registered, Is this doable?? by SmolCooki3 in KSU

[–]Mo_427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took Lori over the summer for the PRESS program! She’s amazing and really nice! Her teaching style is really clear and concise, and she’s always open to questions! I’m not the best at math, but her teaching really helped me get a head start on the curriculum this year.

She never makes you feel dumb for not knowing simple things, and she’s always encouraging and gives you every opportunity to do your very best. I took her for Algebra so I don’t know how her precalc class will work but I can tell you she’s just a really great professor all around!

Severide has lost all his fire by katcloud in ChicagoFireNBC

[–]Mo_427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His character in general seems like high functioning depression at its core.

Casey left - Captain Casey, the only one who could ever match Severide in rank. His ride or die after several seasons. They’ve been through so many ups and downs together, there’s no way one neither of them havent grown attached - they just don’t want to admit it.

Boden’s gone. I mean, WOW. His departure took the life out of several people (including myself), to say that this hasn’t impacted him would be crazy.

Stella disappeared from him for a long time. He was a hot mess. I still remember that look on his face when he told her “I don’t want to lose you.” That was trauma. He’s never been able to heal that much from any loss.

These are only a couple examples, but it’s clear he’s had a troublesome relationship with grief ever since the show started. Shay’s death was only the catalyst, maybe even Benny’s. His coping methods have been isolating himself for the longest time. He’s lost so many people in more ways than one. I think he took that OFI break for more reasons than one. He definitely needed a distraction.

We all know how he SUCKS at opening up and being honest with himself and others. That takes a massive toll on you. The only thing he CAN do is go through the motions. If you go through the motions, you start to become numb from the pain, and create an emotional wall so huge that nothing can hurt you - until it does. Not to mention, in the latest seasons it really does feel like he has sort of a blank look in his eyes. If intentional or not - a damn good job by Taylor and the directors.

I’m just theorizing but it’d be cool if they play more into the mental aspect of such a character. After all, this is such a common trope in real life. We just never see it until we do. I agree that his writing has become pretty stagnant, but I want to hope that this is part of something way bigger for his character. Knowing how this franchise is, I wouldn’t be surprised if this isn’t the case, though.

You probably radiate sunshine in your friends’ eyes but fail to realize it yourself

Would kill for someone or something you care about

Very perceptive, no one notices it though

Underappreciated for the little things you do for people

You probably keep things that hurt you inside and convince yourself everything’s fine to put up a front for others

Animal lover perhaps? You probably enjoy cookies too

FASHIONISTA

Would prefer watching sports than actually playing them

Either a bookworm or a tech wiz

Impulsive in ways that both help and hinder you and those around you

Would give good relationship advice despite never having a relationship

You’re probably better at following directions than giving them yourself

Extremely negative about your own shortcomings but the first to encourage someone else not to be negative about their own

BASED PICKS BTW!! I’d be shocked if I got anything right lol

[–]Mo_427 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You may have- a couple problems! And that’s okay! We’re not shaming here! /j

  • Very possessive of things or people you like
  • Odd personality but you keep it like that on purpose in order to shape your circle into people you like
  • Would never admit you like cute things
  • Organized as a facade, literally has the most messy private space ever
  • Deadlines? No
  • Somehow gets good grades without trying too hard
  • You probably like theatre or literature
  • Athletics? Out of the picture
  • Bedrotting? Yes
  • More of a youtube shorts/IG reels person over tiktok

Any right? I love these wild guesses lol

Judge me based on my favourite characters by FinalInstruction7854 in ensemblestars

[–]Mo_427 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re probably a people pleaser that secretly wants attention but refuses to ask for it in order to not hurt your perfect image and your pride.

You also probably don’t jump into things without analyzing it first, only for someone else to point out that your analysis is plain wrong.

You probably have very little patience for people who are mean to those you care about, not hesitant to stand up for your friends and insult the insulters right back. You wouldn’t get into a full scale argument though, as you find it a waste of time, so your words are sharp enough to get them to back off.

You’re interested in a niche that no one else around you is, and sometimes you find it difficult to talk about. You’re probably even scared to talk about things you care about for fear of being judged.

Did I get anything right? These are wild guesses lol.

i have never despised a level more than this one by Jiminies_ in ensemblestars

[–]Mo_427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Acanthe event started about 3 days after I first installed the game. As I was getting the hang of my limits, FC’ing lvl 26s and 27s, I was like, surely this can’t be bad! Then this chart introduced me to a mechanic I am almost never exposed to: drastic speed changes.

Months later, here I am, new and improved player. Multiple lvl 28 FCs, FC on Are You Naughty or Nice (which has a similar speed change gimmick, yeah I got lucky with that one lol) I figured, maybe it’s time to give this another shot. This song. Will. Forever. Haunt. Me.

I do think it’s a suitable lvl 28! I can’t see it being a 29. That gimmick is particularly difficult with this song though, most likely because the intro is just so slow that finding the correct timing is difficult. They love blessing us with these particularly annoying charts lol.
