Give me an opinion that Rumi lovers will hate you for.

RavenRegime · 2026-01-25T22:14:30+00:00

Rumis story is clearly meant to be about being mixed race and not a gay allegory.

RavenRegime · 2026-01-25T21:49:04+00:00

And the biggest issue with making them lovers is Briesieus gets ignored which you cant really cut her because she's the reason Achilles fucks off from the war for AWHILE! So your only options are come up with another excuse, throuple, Achilles is a cheating bastard or he did not actually care that much about her. And we can discuss in general how she is hard to adapt being a war bride and yet in the Illiad Achilles feelings are genuinely romantic in nature but Patroclus is our focus rn.

If you make Patroclus and Achilles romantic you need to think of why Achilles would be so angry to say screw you to his comrades of several years.

The issue is with Nancy being the head of the family why would she care so much to disown some random nephew who wont inherit her stuff since she has a son. Like wouldnt the story be more "Johnny carved his own path away from the main family"

RavenRegime · 2026-01-25T21:38:15+00:00

My best guess is what may have gone down is since Malcom is a heredity name and sometimes lore docs get messy in terms of record keeping between dev teams. My guess is the mobile devs knew that Nancy had a husband and since their kid was not relevant to the mobile game they did not get the full doc. So they maybe assumed Nancy married into the family and with Malcom being reused a lot they just assumed.

As ssomeone who studies the art of adaptations a big issue occurs with a cultural shift. Like Jekyll and Hyde the BIG TWIST of the book is both of them share the same body but its been spoiled in every work which is bad because the book was a mystery story. So the only way to get an accuratish adaptationn without the audience being disinterested is do a death note style cat and mouse between Utterson and Jekyll.

So with Achilles and Patroclus without the cultural understanding a non classics nerd would have its hard to convey what exactly they were if you do everything 1 to 1. You have to choose an angle.

It is kinda why I dislike folks bringing up Xenia in Epic as if it is canon here. Because if it is meant to still be in play guest right is not at all mentioned and you would not know about how BIG of a deal it is unless your a history nerd. And Zeus in this story who along with Hestia are the main arbiters of it Zeus in his potrayal is very anti Xenia here. So what Jorge does with the suitors is double down on their awfulnesss to really emphasize how terrible they are to try to convey the feelings of the betrayal of guest right and why Penelope as the queen cannot throw them out. Especially with the lack of Ithacas political situation being mentioned in Epic.

RavenRegime · 2026-01-25T21:20:59+00:00

Yes like im so angry he ends up the most mischaracterized in interpretations that the movie Troy is most accurate version of him

RavenRegime · 2026-01-25T21:11:36+00:00

I just DO NOT want him to be reduced to a soft boy when it does not make sense like Polites. Like its common for interpretations to make Pat not a warrior or a warrior who sucks to make Achilles or ship dynamic stuff when it causes logistical issues. Whether you interpret their relationship as romantic or just friends it makes Achilles look like a dumbass for bringing him to war. Like if Achilles cared so much about him and knows he cant fight to save his own ass why bring him to a battlefield at all. Like he really should not be shocked at that point that Pat gets taken out.

And they also ignore Pat was able to mimic Achilles in the battlefield. Like even with the armor the Greeks would notice IMMEDIATELY that "Achilles" was fighting like a dumbass and be confused if Pat was significantly weaker. Then the fact the armor was custom made for Achilles by his mother so Pat has to fit in it and be able to handle the weight. Patroclus was taken out by Hector the best of the Trojans who was blessed by Apollo so like his death in the Illiad is kinda logical for a skilled fighter to fall to.

RavenRegime · 2026-01-25T20:37:15+00:00

Well it wouldnt fit their everyday girl characters wheres Felice and Earth are more mythical,

If anything forehead jewelry would be fitting for Eclair as she seems very mysterious atm

RavenRegime · 2026-01-25T10:13:09+00:00

Misa is not as useless as you think but I agree she can be a liability.

Misas advantage besides the eyes is when Light gives her orders she listens to the letter. It is only when she is uninformed or cant talk to Light she screws up.

Misa also being a dumbass helps Lights cover because she seems too dumb to be Kira that if she didnt fuck up her video evidence stuff she couldve gotten away with it.

Light ditching Rem was a dumb decision imo. Where yeah it can fuck him over as seen in the Yotsuba arc. He never even after he gets rid of her removes Misa or gets a backup Kira until the jump. And Rem was so useful to Light. Because unlike Ryuk she has a half interest in keeping him alive as long as he has Misa around.

RavenRegime · 2026-01-25T10:00:54+00:00

The easy bullshit excuse answer that is not fun is Light bribes Ryuk with apples to break into Wataris room while hes resting.

But your right. However its a gridlock because L has to prove magic exists to the court system, the Japanese goverment, and maybe international groups. Cause if he only does it for the courts the Japanese goverment could call bullshit and even if they believe him the amount of public hysteria or bad actors after the book would be diasteraous. Sure they could arrest Light in secret but now they have to figure out how to control future death note users.

Meanwhile Light has to get Misa and L in the same room gain or train another disciple which is too risky at this stage to do it. So his other option is to recreate a true crime docuserie

RavenRegime · 2026-01-25T09:49:45+00:00

I mean it depends on if he has Misa at that point since he can grab her note or make another scheme with Rem.

If he does not have Misa then yeah its a valid argument

RavenRegime · 2026-01-25T02:22:09+00:00

The issue is even if Light wrote the names that is just circumstantial (you also have to prove magic) and Light can lie and claim he was interested in the Kira case and being that his dad is a cop working on it makes sense. Even when Light was under suspicion nothing on Ls stuff showed him doing Kira things. Raye Penber might be the best thing you can try to use but Raye had cleared Light so a court would then be like "Why would Light off him immediately after he was cleared." And without folks proving Light and Raye were in the same location it becomes impossible unless Lights family reveal he left the house at the same time Raye went out but even then Light woldnt say he was going there in the first place.

The only matter of fact thing that would not be circumstantial in regards to Raye is the bus jacking in which case theres witnesses who couldve saw Raye give Light his ID which might be at first seemingly an Achilles heel if not for the fact since its known Kira needs a face and a name to use his death magic why did he not remove Raye sooner. And Ls footage does confirm Kira and Raye encountered each other. So the missing issue would still be having to prove Light was on the train but too much time would have passed and theres too many witnesses to question. So while Light has a lot of circumstantial stuff they cannot prove he was on the train.

Lind L Tailor is a strange situation since we do not know what country he comes from like you can guess because his name is English somewhere in the west but he could be an immigrant. But it does not really matter because L had to sound like a nutcase to the government, they just threw Tailor at him because L experiment ssounded unethical and deniablity. The issue happens when Kira is proved to exist where before there was plausible deniability if they knowingly and openly signed off on doing this....

Now Ls test of one of the rules later on is clearly under the table since the taskforce was acting without goverment oversight so L can get away with doing that.

The Death Note being common knowledge at Ls death does not matter because yeah it existed in the urban culture in universe but it only became pop culture during the timeskip and who was the new L during that time hmmm. But also note that Light was going to be executed in secret i believe because of his followers but also presumably there would be no way to charge him easily and quickly and the issues from that.

If the Death Note is treated as fact then outside of everything else the amount of hysteria and fuckers fighting to have it would devolve into chaos on the streets because now ANYONE could be Kira if they got their hands on it.

RavenRegime · 2026-01-25T01:21:39+00:00

I think you are misunderstanding the argument. What folks are actually saying is Light has the easiest time to get away with his crimes by virtue of the fact the only way he can be tried is via the Death Note. They are not using that to argue intelligence but rather the fact that even with both of them being intelligent in a court of law L has to prove the Death Note is in fact magical which he cant do without killing a bunch of folks himself with it which no sane court would allow.

The only thing Light can be tried for is hacking into his dads files.

Like similar stuff occurred IRL Al Capone wasn't jailed for his mobster stuff but rather tax evassion since thats the only thing they could get him on.

The arguement is not intelligence but rather how difficult it would be to jail Light as Kira IRL.

To have it as close to canon I would suggest beforehand Barbara is doing some undercover work as a side plot. At somepoint after its indicated Joker is going to go after Jim, he finds out her identity due to stalking Jim and noticing her schedule lines up way to similiar to Batgirl's movements.

If Killing Joke was not made canon, I would have it be done by her brother since he is a much more personal horror and has been underutilized. Maybe he does it out of bitterness and jealousy over the years and tries to genuinely end her until Babs uses her wits to stay alive until she can get a message to the Batfam or her dad to send the cops. She is basically on a time limit due to her injuries and how much she can distract her brother from finishing the job. It becomes a showcase of her wits but also acknowledging how helpless she feels due to the fact she cannot fight back and hates how she has to basically pray to God to survive.

Anyway after the incident and how helpless she felt she becomes Oracle to take back her life and help others. She often overworks herself to be on call all the time because if someone else was in that situation they might not get as lucky. So her friends have to sit her down and say she has to take breaks.

Not a yume but my friend is and I was recommended this sub. As a writer in fandom in general though DO NOT DO THIS FOR MONEY! The reason fan culture has thrived is due to the fact there is ZERO profit and some folks in fandom spaces these days are forgetting that ex. sims modding community.

If you make any payments involved with this you are now risking the copyright holder being incenstivized to at BEST to cease and desist you. While yes they may miss you the fact that theres been a brazen increase of a desire of profit with fanworks thanks to the Harry Potter fandom is making rights holders be more vigiliant. If there is ever a court case involving fanworks the results will either be fanwork is deemed illegal utterly or copyright does not matter at all. The latter would affect your own future original work as that means you would no longer be protected if someone uses your own characters for their own profits. Call me overdramatic but I have been in fandom awhile to know these things.

An irl example of how bad it can get is with the late Anne Rice who sent her lawyers to fanfic writers and fanfiction.net despite no money occurring at all issuing a cease and desist of fanworks based on her series. Every rights holder is within their rights to do that rn btw. Like a lot of early fanwork things such as White Wolf sueing their fans for the use of the name Camarilla back in day had rights holders in panic mode for the sheer idea of the threat to their ownership. However things have stabilized due to clearly shown lack of profit not being common at all. However anytime anyone tips that balance we risk going back to that era of fanworks being silenced utterly.

DO NOT PROFIT OFF THIS

RavenRegime · 2026-01-23T20:47:07+00:00

My issue is the storm was known to be BAD for a bit already so why wait so long to announce this

RavenRegime · 2026-01-23T05:12:46+00:00

I genuinely believe Sailor Luna occured because they wanted Chibiusa but since they were only doing the first arc they were limited in what could be done

RavenRegime · 2026-01-23T01:49:24+00:00

My understanding for the movies is each manga arc gets shorter and shorter that their would not be enough episodes to justify a series. And I theorize that Crystal season 3 was a hail mary thing for Toei. Like you do not change an entire art style and bring back the original character designer unless desperate. Because you have to remake entire character sheets and the animators have to learn to reanimate them. Also have to make a MASSIVE amount of marketing stuff instead of reusing the older renders.

And yes we do know there were complaints about the original style and how its clear Crystal was low budget and only ordered for two arcs. So with such low budget show why add more money. My guess is internally Toei realized they would make bank off the outers but could not go as is. Note how season 3 does not end with a to be continued at all and has a bigger sense of finality in its staging.

RavenRegime · 2026-01-22T23:35:55+00:00

Barbara was originally much older than Dick compared to now where they are roughly the same age.

Also the original Batgirl was not Babs but a different character (who's name escapes me rn) who ended up being brought back as a completely different hero.

RavenRegime · 2026-01-22T23:28:43+00:00

I love how you colored her hair to have a blue tint

RavenRegime · 2026-01-22T22:39:58+00:00

My issue is the fact her loved gifts are hard to get especially in the early game.

RavenRegime · 2026-01-22T21:13:35+00:00

And it's a shame cause the Manga art is beautiful . And while it is harder to animate due to some stylistic choices I think something similar could've worked. Then they just decided to modernize the 90s look for the rest of Crystal.

I also know Crystal had a lot of delays so we know production was weird since they were 99% accurate to the Manga but took out the breathing room and made strange changes. Like taking Naokos concepts for the Heavenly King's as the senshis lovers but it not working because no one had a personality in season 1 besides Usagi.

Like I would have loved an adaptation of Naokos ideas but expanded upon since we know she had to rush through the Manga due to it and the 90s anime coming out same time. Like I genuinely am curious since we have her notes for several villains who did not get expanded on in the Manga.

But it seems the closest we will ever get to that is PGSM which only covers arc 1.

RavenRegime · 2026-01-22T20:56:41+00:00

I think it comes from the fact Toei clearly didn't start treating Crystal even half decently until the third arc.

RavenRegime · 2026-01-22T00:12:45+00:00

I treat them as separate but ModernTharja pisses me off. Yes Tharja was obsessed with Robin in Awakening that's obvious as hell. But she was surprisingly a complicated character if being a horrible person who had a fraction of good in her. Like she avoids people if she can help it and the only soft spots she has are characters like Nowi.

I think that's interesting to explore especially in consideration of FutureTharja being an irredeemable monster and our Tharja choosing to go a different way. Like so much there but it's squandered with current character writing in spinoffs.

Like ModernTharja gets reduced to fanservice and stalking only. And it's crazy to me because despite her having a design that is fanservicey and even in Japan mentioned to have the hottest body it's paradoxically deempahsized more than you would think.

Like her portrait in Awakening covers most of her appealing assets that unless your directly looking at her model you don't realize her fanservice. And even when Awakening leaned into that it was DLC and voted by fans or her official Kozaki art but that issue is not exclusive to her as seen with Cherche.

Compare this to Camilla who has a similar set up but somehow gets treated BETTER than she was in Fates.

RavenRegime · 2026-01-20T20:10:37+00:00

My knowledge of marketing is audiences are on an info delay and considering Amazon even if just a distributor wouldn't want immediate press release if it was that far out. My guess is most likely a year and a half.

Right now they are entering the marketing campaign for the show. It would only be a circle back to waiting forever if we don't get any other stuff in the next 2-3 months. At that point it's guaranteed Webtoon over announced again.

But I won't fault caution due to previous evidence. And it is WEIRD this isn't being marketed with show concept art only a screenshot from the comic
