The Audacity Of That Slap Still Drives Me Insane

The audacity of that slap still drives me insane

But there's a side to you That I never knew, never knew All the things you'd say They were never true, never true And the games you play You would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain Watched it pour as I touched your face Well, it burned while I cried 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name Your name

_Set Fire to the Rain_Adele

Some traditional painting inspired by this song. I don't know what to say I was just listening it one day and I had a vision. So of course I had to paint it.

"How the fuck Five became the creator of the Comission" a theory by me

For the ones who ignored the spoilers warning, it's your life mate.

So in the season 3 we learned that Five created the Comission despite visibly hating everything about them for the 30h of screen time we have.

Here is my handmade theory of wtf happened. I will use the concept of different time-line we're introduced in season 3.

.

It's begin with the first Timeline, the original, the time-line 0.

In this time-line when the Hargreeves were 13, Five timetravels in the future despite their father interdiction. Expect he did not arrive in 2019, no he timetravels in a more far away future, at least in the 2100. And what did he found there?

Everything he've always looked for.

A bright future where there had no apocalypse in 2019, with a more advanced technology, maybe more people with powers, and the more important where their father is dead and cold for a long time. It's exactly what he always hoped, a safe place where him and his siblings can run away from their father.

The only problem is that he is blocked here, even if he tries and tries he doesn't manage to go back in the time to his family. So he worked hard, studied even harder to find a way, to have a better control of his power and with the help of the most advanced sciences and technology of this period it doesn't take him 45 years.

Finally he timetravels back to his time (before Ben's death) and kidnapped his family away from Reggie, leading them to this future of their dreams.

In this future where the Hargreeves finally have the freedom and the life they wanted, Five had an idea. As a timetraveler he knows how the time is fickle and pliable, but he wanted to protect this time-line, this time where he and his siblings finally had a good life and where they're safe. With the technology of this period he created the first time machine and founded the Comission, an organization out of the time here to protect the time-line.

I read somewhere a theory (sorry I didn't found the post for put the url :/) bout how the Hargreeves seem to have better healing ability than the common. At a following of this idea I imagine they can also live longer.

So Five was the president of the Comission for years, preserving the time-line. During this time he learned more about Reginald and the Oblivion, knowing very well that this possibility of rebooting the universe was dangerous he tattooed clues of the project on himself in case (he always been so damn paranoid). He invented the Bunker of the Comission, a place where time and paradox don't exist. As he became older he founded the Administration Committee for managed the Comission and locked himself in the Bunker where he won't age anymore and so escape death until the right time.

.

Except for an unknown reason the Committee decided one day of the Apocalypse project. I can't really imagine why but for me it's clear that was something Five wouldn't have approved so he had to be out of the picture.

I first suspected that the Apocalypse was the Handler's project but it didn't make sense. Yes she manages the team and she is in charge but we saw in season two that the Handler want the power and the control. She doesn't particularly desire the apocalypse she just uses it for manipulating Five, she doesn't have a problem to seal it away in exchange of the death of the Committee. So clearly the Apocalypse wasn't her idea.

.

Time-line 1

This time-line is the one before the canon. The Comission works for the realization of the Apocalypse in 2019 and when Five timetravels he arrives in this desolate place. His siblings are dead and he stays alone (with Dolores) in this time-line for 40 years before joining the Comission.

.

Time-line 2

This one is the first season. Five reappears a week before the Apocalypse and with his siblings he tried to stop it. Also in this time-line Klaus timetravels to 1967-1968 in Vietnam and meets Dave. Viktor causes the Apocalypse and the Hargreeves timetravel together.

.

Time-line 3

The beginning of the season 2. The Hargreeves minus Five timetravel in the 1960s and cause the Apocalypse that Five can witness before timetraveling again.

.

Time-line 4

This is basically season 2 and 3. Five appears a week before the Apocalypse he saw (again). While trying to stop it the Hargreeves meet Reginald and manage to be so chaotic that he unadoptes them. Viktor accidentally gives Harlan powers, Lila has an existential crisis and the Handler dies. They stop the Apocalypse and timetravel in the 2019 of this chronology where they meet the Sparrow Academy. Sadly their presence cause a paradox and an Apocalypse (AGAIN). Five meets himself from the original time-line who indirectly warned him about Oblivion before dying, Allison loses her marbles, kills Harlan and Reggie convinces her to help him for the project Oblivion. The entire universe is destroyed and the Umbrella Hargreeves minus Luther (technically also Klaus but he resurrects after) and plus Sparrow Ben, Reggie, Lila and Sloane escape in the pocket dimension of Oblivion. Allison and Reggie reboot the universe.

.

Time-line ???

The universe has been reboot. Reggie seems to be be the lord of at least the city and has his wife (I suppose) back. Allison is reunited with her daughter Claire and her 1960s husband Ray. Luther (resurrected), Diego, Klaus, Five, Sparrow Ben, Viktor and Lila emerges from the hotel, their powers are gone and Sloane is nowhere to be found. In a last scene we see a subway in Korea where (I suppose again) a resurrected Umbrella Ben is reading.

There are only suppositions of the birth of the Comission and who many time-line Five created in his life. Time-line 0 is my personal explication of why Five created the Comission because we see he will do whatever it takes to get his family safe (sad it didn't work at the end). I hope we will have answers in the season 4 (I can't believe it will be the last 😭😭😭 I dreamed seven seasons at least for this series come on).

the new fanfic layouts on tumblr are becoming more and more frustrating like some fics are making the fonts bright colors or way too small because it fits their aesthetic ? but its makes it so hard to read it and in some case, genuinely inaccessible :( aesthetics are so nice but like please, stop making your fonts so tiny i can’t read it

and the pictures added to every fic definitely looks super cute but it makes it impossible to look up fanart in tags anymore and you can’t switch to the photos tab because they all technically have a photo so you can’t escape it! like i understand it looks nice but its so hard to search through tags like before

this one is a bit more irritating than others but tagging incorrectly or not adding read mores to super long posts. if you’re looking for a character tag, its super bothersome to scroll through a bunch of fics that dont even include the character you want because it was tagged wrong. and no readmores means ur subjected to long posts with sometimes content you just dont want to to see or its just not convenient  

its just hhhjjrrn im so tired of it

So are we gonna talk about how Killua seem to have a traumatic response when someone use their Ren and catch him out of guard? And how it's more or less clearly Illumi's fault? No? Okay then.

Honestly I don't recommend the Manga, I started reading it when I was already a lot in IE and it was just painful. I read the 5th first volumes with confining myself that "it will go better". It didn't go better so I just stopped losing money and time in it. I'm sincerely happy for you if you enjoyed it. But the drawings quality is doing roller coasters, Kageyama's design change depending of the pages/the volumes, sometimes characters are almost geometrics or don't have a face! The story line is so rushed or lazy sometimes if it wasn't for the anime I don't think I would be able to understand what the fuck is happening most of the time. Matchs are narrated in 3 pages maximum wtf and super moves just pop randomly.

My advice is if you want to try it then do it but don't force yourself like I did if you don't like it because it won't go better with time.

Inazuma Eleven manga fun facts!

Part 1/?

I don’t know about you but I think most of us here are absolute fans of the IE anime (and/or games), but have you ever read the manga ? It’s quite different.So here I am, giving you some fun facts about the manga version of our favorite magical soccer boy saga !

Tamano Gorou : one of the Raimon players who never appeared in the anime, some of you may know him from the games, where he is a playable character. He’s a small first year, shown to be a very close friend to Endou. He’s victim of Kageyama’s shenanigans and gets severely injured during practice, preventing him from playing the FF qualifs until the finals of the district. He’s sweet but… he’s got the same personality as Endou so I understand why he didn’t make it to the anime.

Gouenji doesn’t save Endou from bullies at the riverbank in the manga. They actually meet when Endou tries to run after a thug who just stole some woman’s purse. Gouenji stops the thief with his powerful shoot, and Endou, impressed, starts harassing him to make him join the soccer club. Fun fact, LEVEL-5 actually made a reference to this in the latest two reboot seasons: this is exactly how Kozoumaru meets Gouenji in Ares.

Kazemaru is a member of the Raimon Eleven from the beginning, and is not from the athletics club.

Kidou’s a savage. But I’ll elaborate on this on another post because I can’t shut up about him. He is much more of a bad boy than his anime-self and I need more space to talk about how cool he is.

During the match against O・T・A・K・U, Manga Moe decides to follow Kageyama’s plan to put drugs in Raimon’s water to alter their abilities in the second half. Raimon won thanks to Endou’s determination, and Megane (sadly) never saved the day. All he did was to fill in for Gorou after his accident, and run again when Raimon meets Teikoku in the finals.

 Someoka isn’t as hot-headed in the manga as he is in the anime. He’s not shown to be jealous of Gouenji, he actually admires his talent even when the team seems to only trust the fire striker to score. He is pretty hard on Endou at the beginning, calling his recklessness during practice “irresponsable”, and saying he’s not “qualified to be a captain” when Endou’s body was tattered from his intense training.

Endou’s dream in the manga is for him and his team to become “the legendary Inazuma Eleven”. In the anime, Endou doesn’t really have a dream except that he wants to play and enjoy soccer with powerful players.

Aki is the only manager, at least during the qualifs. Natsumi is just a mean rich girl in the first half of the manga, then she just appears out of the blue to tell Endou his grand-father is alive. Haruna literally DOESN’T EXIST (best girl boohoo).

Hibiki becomes Raimon’s coach willingly on Natsumi’s demand. He’s a lot less moody than his alter ego in the anime. Raimon still goes through half the FF without a coach though.

Yuuka never wakes up in the manga.

The whole Aliea Gakuen arc doesn’t happen in the manga ! The plot actually jumps from the end of the FF right to the FFI.

Fubuki seems to have a double personality in the manga but this is never adressed, so we don’t know if it is because of a traumatic accident in the past or if it’s just a gimmick.

That’s all for now ! Hope you learned a few things !
