I Report And Block Most Obvious Bots As Expected, But I'm Keeping The One That Is A Brunette In Red And

I report and block most obvious bots as expected, but I'm keeping the one that is a brunette in red and black plaid, because that feels like effort was put into targeting me.

okay but it's very explicable

Thanatos needed the gates of Hades to be unlocked as part of his plan to kill Moira.

How did he unlock the gates of Hades? He had to remove the current guardian.

Who was the current guardian? Lafrenze.

How was Lafrenze removed as guardian? Orpheus seduced her.

Who was Orpheus? Elef's second in command

Who was Elef? The person Thanatos needed to merge with to leave exit Hades

And, back to Lafrenze, how did she become guardian? Well, she was abandoned in the woods by her mother as a result of a curse cast by Alte Rose, and then adopted by Alte Rose and groomed to be the guardian of Hades.

Why did Alte Rose hate Lafrenze's mother? Because she got revenge on Alte Rose.

Who helped Lafrenze' mother get revenge in Alte Rose? Marchen.

And who is Marchen? Among other things, he is an undead being.

Thanatos, Lord of Hades and the Dead Man's King.

Marchen and Elysion both happened because of Thanatos's war against Moira.

thinks about the fucking inexplicable crossover between maerchen and whatever was going on with lafrenze in elysion

What's so good about the "Stay Broken" scene is that yes it's extremely romantic but it's Pattison at its most toxic and enabling, and it almost *immediately* backfires. Allison is pretty vaguely upset and self-loathing, and Patty comes in with "No you're great you've done nothing wrong keep being you (you're-so-pretty-I-love-you)"

And sure, that helps Allison not spiral in her next argument with Sam but now all of her own shittiness towards Sam has been absolved and redirected to Patty and guess what, Patty doesn't like that! Those broken edges Patty loves so much do indeed cut!

Patty pushes back, completely understandably for her own health, but can you imagine your oldest friend/lover/person you've assigned bearer of a "better" past self calls you broken, then your new best friend tells you they love you anyways and *then* a week later goes (paraphrased, and certainly interpreted as such by Allison) "Fuck you, you're broken. I don't want to ever speak to you again."

Jesus.

Still always so wild to check on if there’s any new .hack//SIGN discourse and get old forum posts from 2005 being like “What was up with Tsukasa and Subaru?” and there’s a small set of people going “If we break it down scientifically we can conclude they were probably gay” and then another set of people going “I think it would be reading into it too much to definitively say they were gay” and like-

it's so close to being a humanizing moment but besides also admitting to cop crimes, she leverages her knowledge of Allison's affair with Sam to try and get Patty to distance herself from Allison.

That double punch of Tammy straight up telling Allison she doesn't like her and their bonding trip meant nothing, and then Allison finding out that Tammy *used* the thing Allison thought they were bonding about to try to control Patty.

Sort of like Allison and Patty's fight at the end of season 1, except Allison actually feels guilty and can self-reflect, if poorly.

My phone just randomly did a pop-up notification for a "new chapter" email from 2021 of a dead longfic I adore and I literally have tears in my eyes and am shaking with rage from the extreme emotional whiplash this betrayal of technology has inflicted upon me
