Is the other group accessible? all my characters were there and I don't think anywhere else >.<
Yay!I'll look around and see if I can make any new brides. Since Rafael is back I might bring back Clarissa.
No, I don't think it's accessible anymore.
Nobody can get into the old group, and Dark said the characters were gone anyway. I thought you said you hated Clarissa? Or Rafael, I'm not sure which.
I disliked Clarissa because I thought she was too similar to my other brides, but since I probably won't be remaking half of those, it doesn't matter.
I have no idea what to do for any characters. I'm wanting to start fresh since everything is gone and I don't remember a whole lot >.<
I remember a lot about Perseus.
I still find it ironic that so many people hate on Yui Komori but everyone just gives Cardia Beckford a huge pass when she's far worse than Yui is. Like maybe Cardia is better in the anime, but in the games she's terrible. Like Cardia was locked away for most of her life because of her powers, and that's supposed to explain why she's so naive. Except her family was well-off and are scientists! So wouldn't they have a bunch of books about things that Cardia could read? Her father never said she couldn't read or talk to the servants, she just wasn't allowed to go outside. She never asked the servants about stuff she couldn't figure out? She never asked her parents or brother? I think her mother died, but her father and brother were still alive and well, and she knew her father was.
Yui was locked away for most of her life because she was raised in a convent and secretly being groomed to be the perfect sacrificial bride. She just had her adopted father to help her figure things out. Yes, she's naive when she first arrives to the mansion, but she's a quick learner and soon figures out what she needs to do. Stuff she doesn't know she learns about. She genuinely wants to make a good impression and wants to be a good wife for her man.
Cardia gets kidnapped and is completely okay with being handed off from guy to guy like nothing. Even more, if she gets kidnapped by one of the villans, instead of trying to fight or talk her way out of the problem, she just closes her eyes and cries for one of her boyfriends to come and save her. And this was in the second game, when she supposedly was more independent. And of course her boyfriend can't come get her, but she keeps crying for him.
Whenever Yui gets kidnapped, she tries to charm the villain into letting her go. She tries to fight her way out of it and only calls for help if she's all out of options. Even then though, she still tries to fight her way out. The only times she mindlessly calls for her boyfriend is when she's being brainwashed and therefore not in her right mind. In fact, sometimes Yui even has to save her boyfriend. Cardia never saves her boyfriends.
Cardia is so much of a blank slate that it's scary. I know why that was done, but Yui has a good personality despite her also being a blank slate. She's kind and loves being helpful; she's a good cook and a good embroider too. She's girly. But she can also be pushed to her limits and angrily snaps if pushed too far and can often get snarky if people keep saying stupid things to her. She doesn't have a favorite food because it changes to fit her boyfriend's favorite, like steak or candy.
Cardia has no personality. She just lets herself be dragged around by different guys and has a blank stare the entire time. The worst part of it is, she never changes. I would be more forgiving if she was just like this in the first game, and in the later games she's a lot better because she's out of the house, she's experienced a lot of things, and is more independent and can take better care of herself. But she doesn't. The games follow a linear plotline like Diabolik Lovers does, but unlike those games, Cardia never changes. She remains stagnant and never seems to acknowldge anything that's happened to her. She never gets a favorite food, she never says 'oh, remember when we did this for the first time?' Even in the second game, she has no idea how to eat properly or how to kiss. I don't mean really explicit kissing, I mean a simple peck on the lips.
Some people say Cardia can be excused because she's outside for the first time and therefore is in awe of everything. Okay, Yui isn't just outside for the first time, she's in a totally different country Her confusion is justified because she has never seen such things before. And she learns quickly. By the third game she's completely immersed in that culture and is kinda like a local. Cardia stays in the same exact city and seems to have learned nothing.
And I wouldn't even have a problem with Cardia if she experienced development. If at first she was a naive doll who allowed herself to be dragged everywhere by people, but after a while she learns, she grows, she adapts. She becomes more independent and wants to discover more things on her own. She wants to lock her crazy father up instead of letting him roam free, she wants to help her boyfriend achieve his goal instead of just nodding when he tells her about it, and actually trying to discover some kind of control or cure instead of just letting it be there when she dislikes it.
If Yui stayed the exact same way that she was in the first game, I'd have a problem with her too. While her personality isn't annoying, it wouldn't have made sense for her to go through as much as she does and eventually get crowned the Vampire Queen and not experience some kind of personality change. But she does change. She becomes stronger, more assertive, and more sure of herself. She knows exactly what she wants to do.
Cardia never becomes like that, and that is my biggest problem with her. She never changes, she never develops as a character, she remains the same blank slate at the very end of the series that she was at the very beginning. She has more personality as a child in her flashbacks then she does as an adult.
And I know some people will tell me that I don't like it when girls are overly badass and hate girly things and stuff like that, and I do. But that doesn't mean I enjoy it when girls act like this!!!! Cardia doesn't need to be swinging a sword and slicing her hair off when she's free, but she needs to have a personality.
It's really such a shame, because I love the idea of a girl being kidnapped and hidden from her father because of her destructive powers and being taken on a cross-country trip. I like the idea of it being in Victorian England and I like seeing her discover all of these new things that she's never experienced before. I like how there's actual girls in it and how Cardia befriends one. I like how all of the characters are actual literay and historical figures from that time period.
But if Cardia herself is boring and borderline offensive, then what's the point in playing it?
Nobody wished me a Happy New Year so I'm determined to have a bad year this year
I'm so bored. I feel like there's something I should actually be doing but I can't place my finger on it.
Everytime I see that Fifty Shades Freed trailer I think of Yui and Kanato because their love life is like that movie but way way better
There's another one?!?! How many are there?
Just three. At least, there's three books. They might try to make a fourth movie, I don't know.
Watching this guy rant about the Eagles is my life because even if I don't watch football, I have felt that amount of rage for many things in my life before lol
And people tell us to chill when something happens in fiction that upsets us :D
I don't get it....the Eagles are an actual team....
I'm saying people tell us to chill when something in fiction upsets us while people make rants about football and no one bats an eye.I have relatives who watch sports almost religiously like that.
They're like "oh who cares? Act mature" then yell at the TV and get mad/upset if something bad happens to their team. Which if they do that, I dont care. They like it so I'm glad. What I don't like is the hypocrisy.
I know people here who get mad if you rant about anything, not just sports.
That feel when you want to recommend good anime to your friends but it has gay people in it
One of the biggest dreams I have is to take my mom to see Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. It's her most favorite musical ever but she's never actually got to see it. I didn't think that was fair and now I want to make enough money to take her to the Broadway production, something she's always wanted to see since she was in high school. She says she's fine with seeing local productions and I know she is, but at the same time, I want her to see the real thing. Musicals are always much better on Broadway and I want her to see her favorite show at least once before she dies.
My dad went there and he doesn't even like Phantom of the Opera. Meanwhile my mom would love to go.
That's really the only one we want to see on Broadway. Seeing the original is always good but we have a ton of theatre groups here who put on plays and musicals yearly. A few years ago I got to see them perform Les Miserables with my youth group, and in eleventh grade the English AP class went to see them perform 1776. I keep dreaming of the day our town puts on something like Wicked or Hamilton but I think that'll never happen. Mom says what they put on is based off suggestions of the cast members, and clearly nobody wants to do those. Mom says I never know though.
My brothers have another snow day today.......ugh. They've been home for five days now and I'm getting so sick of them being here. I haven't talked to Mom in a few days and I feel like I'm going stir-crazy. She won't let me out of the house because of the cold weather and snow.
Someone did a really interesting video on cringe culture and what exactly it means and I was surprised to find I agreed with a lot of his points. I pretty much believe that anyone who goes around hating on fandoms, calling them 'cringe' and insulting the fans, saying they're gay or need to be gassed or whatever, are just insecure and aren't happy with their lives. You can tell by the stuff they say. It's one thing if a fandom is actually hurting people, actually spreading dangerous ideas and whatnot, but most aren't. Those people are just jealous nobody takes them seriously enough and hopefully they'll grow out of it.
And yes, I have been told I should be gassed for something I love. I've been told to kill myself and I've been told I should be electrocuted and I've been told I should get raped.
I've been told the first two you said, both directly and indirectly, if that makes sense.
My baby brother made a huge deal about having to take his medicine today so he made a cup of water and poured literally half a bottle of lemon juice and some lime juice into the water and chugged it and he spent the rest of the morning sick to his stomach haha
*Normally he drinks water with his medicine so he can swallow it because it's a pill
Mom: "I thought you would've figured out he was gay because he kept calling the main character 'cute' and 'hot' and stuff like that," Me: "That doesn't mean anything! So what if someone says you're hot, I compliment girls all the time and say stuff like they're hot!"
Mom: "....."
Me: "...."
Me: "Oh."
Me: "BUT STILL!"
I'm so mad, I exceeded my daily post limit on Tumblr????? But there's still so much stuff I wanted to reblog!!!! So here's a not-so-passively-aggressive dump of everything left that I couldn't get
There's a post limit???

Listen, i’d absolutely fuck a consenting, self-aware monster, but I wouldn’t fuck every monster.
A werewolf, he comes to me and says “hey, you wanna go for a ride?” and I says “sure” because he’s hot.
But If Godzilla came to me and says that, no. Godzilla is a father figure. Not for fucking.

And listen, if any of you heretics come on this post and call Godzilla your daddy, you better hope to god your name is Minilla or Minya or Godzilla Jr or else i will find you and shame you.

Good post op

Time for me to get fucking shamed then

You come on to this post and do the 100% opposite thing of which I have told you no?
The audacity. Shame on you, on your blog and shame on your gall. I am calling the police RIGHT NOW you heathen.
nidsk:
On 31 July 1807: Napoleon ordered Talleyrand to tell Denmark-Norway to prepare for war against Britain or else Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte would invade Holstein. Neither Talleyrand nor Jackson persuaded the Danes to end their neutrality, so Jackson went back to the British fleet assembled in the Sound on 15 August. The British published a proclamation demanding the deposit of the Danish fleet; the Danes responded with “what amounted to a declaration of war”.
I draw Edward’s eyes almost the same way as I draw Frances’s eyes. He inherited his piercing eyes and his serious personality from his mother. It’s commonly said that boys will look like their mother, so I basically try to draw male characters with the image of their mothers in mind. - Toboso”
.
For some reason I’ve always thought Edward rather takes after his father (in his looks as well as personality), but now that I think about it, Edward and Frances are indeed similar
in their behaviours,
outward appearance
and lovely personality xD
Now I have one more reason to love Edward! (≧▽≦)

I LOVE how they gave them new poses for this edition! I was afraid they'd just use the generic stock poses they've had since forever but they actually took the time to give them new ones! And they all fit their personalities too!
Oooh nice

because JUST LOOK AT IT
I still think one of the funniest things my mom has ever said was when I told her about one of my most favorite deleted songs from Frozen and I had already told her about four other ones and she literally cut me off and demanded: "First of all, how many fucking deleted songs are there from Frozen?!"
HahaWell, how many are there? :p
About seven or eight.
Exactly lol It was originally going to be a lot longer and more in-depth than what we ended up with.
WHat was the original plan?I personally don't actually mind the movie, but it could've been better iMO. It just felt like a lot of nothing. Same with Moana. Many songs in the latter felt forced.
Anna originally had a song about how she felt like a spare because Elsa was so much better at everything and Anna was looking for something that would make her, well her. Hans had a different villain song. Kristoff's reindeer song was a lot longer and was an actual song. A big plot point was about how the kingdom had a prophecy where a queen with ice in her heart would plunge the kingdom into eternal winter and would only be stopped with a sword sacrifice, and Anna and Elsa kept arguing over whether the prophecy was about them or not.
There was another song about Anna and Elsa growing up together and how they didn't want to act like typical princesses, they wanted to act however they wanted. It was originally going to show how Anna became a prissy princess and Elsa became a villain and was one of the first songs cut.
Moana had some deleted songs too, but only one or two. Moana was originally going to be a lot like Anna personality-wise and wanted to explore the oceans like her ancestors did because she was bored of her mundane island life. She heard a legend about Maui and doubted whether he was real or not. I kinda wish the story was like that, but I can see why they didn't do that.
it's personal
