Home memories🥺
I would like to bring attention to the fundraisers that are struggling to get any donations. These are all verified by el-shab-hussein and nabulsi and you can find all of them, and many others, in this list.
You see across social media the difference in how Chappel Roan is praised for "starting a movement" by bringing up healthcare in terms of her own benefit, but Kendrick Lamar, with an entire discography on social issues and bringing attention to stuff going on in the world to those less financially sound than him gets reduced to the "Not Like Us" craze, because it's a single feeding into the rap battle culture and it "annihilates" Drake.
Mystic Flour: I want that cookie so fucking bad
Burning Spice: I WANT THAT COOKIE SO FUCKING BAD!!!
Shadow Milk, episode 7 and most of 8: I want that cookie so fucking bad... and now he's all mine 😈 I win I win I wiiiiiiiin
Shadow Milk, end of episode 8: Me? Wanting that cookie? Lol. Lmao, even. Perish the thought, and yourself along with it! I don't want that cookie! I NEVER wanted him! Never ever! He's NOTHING! NOTHING TO ME!!! He's a TRAITOR and a LIAR and I HATE HIM! I hate his silky hair and his kind eyes and his warm smile and his gorgeous robes and his soothing voice and that outstretched hand, so soft yet so strong, reaching for me, trying to draw me closer to him and his sugar-sweet proclamations of understanding and companionship- STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT! I HATE HIM! HE'S NOTHING TO ME! NOTHING AT ALL! I HATE HIM I HATE HIM I HATE HIM- *throws himself on the floor in a red-faced tantrum*
Praying for Idia actually because why is malleus so scary

hello!! sorry to chime in suddenly, but i saw a lot of cool nickname analysis and wanted to add my own two cents! it's fascinating to me that floyd doesn't actually use "apex predators" as nicknames for any of the characters so far (other than sebek, but like if you DON'T look at sebek and think 'croccodile' then you're doing it wrong). (1/?)
[Referring to this original post!]
As far as I know, no official reason for this has been stated in the game or shared by other characters. If I had to make an educated guess on why Floyd generally doesn’t give apex predator nicknames, I would say it’s because of his own selfish need to surpass others in strength.
In his Beans Day Camo personal stories, Floyd reveals to Epel that he wants to take on strong opponents (like Riddle), because he finds it to be exciting. In the Lyreless Brawl event itself, we see that Floyd refuses to follow Vil until Vil demonstrates his own strength and executes a flipping technique that catches Floyd’s attention. From these points, we can see that Floyd very much has an interest in overtaking powerful foes and learning new things to improve his own combat capabilities.
If Floyd were to nickname others after apex predators, I feel like that would come across to him as “I’m confessing that this person surpasses me in strength” every time he speaks their nickname, which hurts Floyd’s own pride. As we can see in his Beans Day Camo personal stories and in the Lyreless Brawl story, he’s willing and able to learn new things if it means enhancing his own abilities--but in calling others apex predators, it implies that they are naturally “above” him (because it is “in their nature” as the top of the oceanic food chain) and that, no matter how hard he tries to catch up, he won’t be able to. In this sense, granting an apex predator nickname to someone else would be relinquishing one’s own strength and confessing to their inferiority.
I think Floyd likes to leave the possibility of surpassing others “open” by not giving names that acknowledge another’s power. That way, there’s always a glimmer of hope that he can train and overtake them. It’s a matter of pride.
about the kalim post -> the amount of people that call kalim a stupid idiot is 😭 he misinterprets people’s actions, words, and facial expressions sometimes and really thinks differently when it comes to his logic, but that’s prolly where his obliviousness ends. he knows Jamil was hurting even before Jamil’s overblot and reveal (magic carpet ride with Yuu where he says he wants Jamil to worry less and loosen up a little), Kalim’s ceremony robes where he says he’s surprised he got chosen as dorm leader and suggests Jamil would be better for the job… I remember it got so bad that people thought he was oblivious to getting poisoned or kidnapped that the EN translations turned his vagueness about it (from not wanting to worry anyone) into something he talks a lot more directly about. The obvious things he might not get, but the smaller things - Vil’s change in expression that reminded him of Jamil before he overblotted, Alab Nariya where he successfully figured at the end what Jamil was thinking as he fired the fireworks (but Jamil brushes off his worries) - are things he notices unpredictably. That’s a part of his character charm! A lot of people have this image of Kalim based on the workload Jamil has from him. Valid, but Kalim worried a lot about Jamil while Jamil was dissuading his worries (not very well, but Kalim doesn’t get sarcasm ww) - now he’s being more stubborn on still doing the work with Jamil even when Jamil says he can handle it himself. Jamil is more open on accepting that help too!! Kalim needs more love TT
Completely agree, Anon!
No one is obligated to like Kalim, but this blog stans the sunshine boy!
(And honestly, I think there are just some people who can't stand that he's nice enough to offer help to anyone who asks for it AND has the money/resources to do it extravagantly. Which in a roundabout way would bring us back to the post this stems from.)
