My Inner Monologue Is Just Always Thinking About Ritsu Way Too Hard

One thing that makes the mind control in the Divine Tree arc sooooo creepy to me is how much the brainwashed characters still act like themselves. A lot of the time in fiction when characters are mind-controlled they become zombie-like or robotic, with their original personalities suppressed. Or sometimes they become actively sinister, an "evil version" of themselves.

Obviously Divine Tree doesn't do that. Dimple's telling the truth when he says he hasn't changed anyone's personality, he's just given them something new to care about. "A blessing for those who have nothing and long for a place to belong." And that's horrifying. Both because it feels like in some ways a deeper violation than simply making someone pretend to be a person they're not, and because it means that the effect it creates is basically the same as people who have been taken in by cult rhetoric in the real world. The Divine Tree doesn't use magic to create effects that can only be achieved by magic; it uses it to speedrun the radicalization process.

The Divine Tree Arc isn't the horror of having someone you know replaced by an alien consciousness. It's the horror of knowing that the person standing against you is really your friend, your classmate, your brother, your mentor--they just care about something new now. And it's the horror of knowing that when push comes to shove, they're always going to care about that new thing more than they care about you.

I set my Discord banner to random photos of deer being silly on trailcams resulting in multiple people asking about My Collection so here are some of the finest photos from my unreasonably sized gallery of goofy deer trailcam pictures I found

Did you know deer will sometimes just straight-up box/slapfight with each other which often involves standing on two legs and it looks really silly

Here's some kisses

Some weird chaotic ones. I call the first one of these four "girls night"

bonk (this is one of my most favorites)

Spring-loaded animal

So I was daydreaming about mob psycho fighting game, then I daydreamed about the tag team ultimate attacks, then somehow, out of all the canon interactions, these two barely interacted hooligans ended up being the first(and only?) one that I came up with.

Presented through panels (because apparently this is what my current style have came to be now) feat. random training dummy?(hopefully)
