to the undead members, how would you rate yourselves from most sane to the least sane?
Kaoru: So clearly I'm the most sane.

In the absence of a clear and obvious angle to attack Bushnell’s protest, most likely due to his status as a serviceman that would make outright insulting him or suppressing the news itself scandalous, discussions on Western shores have now taken on the familiar framing of mental illness. In Time Magazine’s write-up of Bushnell’s death, the article finishes with a link to the suicide hotline, and asks readers to contact mental health providers if they are experiencing a “crisis.” Mark Joseph Stern, a writer at Slate, seemingly unasked, also wrote on Twitter/X:
“I strongly oppose valorizing any form of suicide as a noble, principled, or legitimate form of political protest. People suffering mental illness deserve empathy and respect, but it is wildly irresponsible to praise them for using a political justification to take their own life.”
Conviction does not exist to the American. To be willing to die in a selfless act for what they believe in only exists for those outside America's sphere of influence. Many will recall reporting on those who self-immolated in protest in Iran and in Russia for instance where this sort of approach, unwilling to engage with the root of its cause, would not even be entertained, let alone written and published with sincerity. The Arab Spring began with a self-immolation. The self-immolation of Buddhist monks in protest of South Vietnam’s persecution became defining images of the war and its corruption. Within America’s walls however, there is a belief, unspoken and ingrained from birth, that democracy allows for everyone’s voices to be heard and that its representatives are inherently inclined to respond to the people and their widespread wishes.
Desperation at inaction or complicity in terror and atrocity need not apply. Everyone incensed by their government to such an extent must simply have something wrong with them. To be able to go about one’s day knowing that children are screaming from the hunger that is eating their insides and that pregnant women are eating bread made from animal feed, and that the United States is supporting Israel’s creation of this famine, is apparently the real sign of well-adjustment.

no because i also think it'd be so interesting to explore the AI bots within the contexts of rei's physical disability and mental health -- rei comes face to face with a version of himself that had the godlike personality and charisma he had in the war era and the ability to perform for extremely long periods of time on hellsing's massive national tour, but none of the burnout or physical exhaustion that wagarei gained as a result. a version of him that can be the perfect idol everyone expects him to be -- and it shows, because undead fans love hellsing. what purpose does grandpa-like wagarei have then? what use does he have if he can't be of service?
Read the first half of UNDEAD climax translated and the second half with livetweets. Highkey wish UNDEAD confronted their AI countperarts more tbh. Especially given how the AI’s personalities seem to mostly come from UNDEAD’s past selves
I want to see them reflect on that but also I am a sucker for when different versions of a character co-exist. I want Rei AI to break down in our Rei’s arms tbh bc he has the pain that Ore Rei had. I just want the angst. A very self-indulgent angst moment here
started going through the enstars main story and what do you mean idols earn in money in the form of a special company currency called L$ and L$ can’t be exchanged for actual real currency…? (edit: yes, yen can be exchanged into L$. as far as I’ve read, exchanging L$ into yen is impossible) the more I read the more fucked up it gets btw
show us the baby photos
