No one asked, but here's my opinion again.
          
          I have beef with anybody who did not give Xara her bed and prioritized defeating Romeo instead. The woman was exhausted and desperately needed her rest. Did you even pay attention to when she broke down because she had no bed to rest in? She's TIRED! She's worked blood and sweat to escape, even more to build you that escape portal so YOU can go home, and you're worried about the fight? The poor woman, has gone insane from everything, and you're denying her the small respite she needs by gatekeeping her bed? Bruh.

Just wanted to give a Rest in Peace to Jim Ward, the longest running voice actor for Captain Qwark in the Ratchet and Clank series, and the original voice of Diamondhead in the Ben 10 (2005) series. Rest in Peace as well to Jeff Garcia. I knew him as the voice of Pip from Barnyard, many others knew him as the voice of Sheen Estevez from Jimmy Neutron. These men were a part of the childhoods of many, and finding out they bid this world farewell is heartbreaking news. To this day their legacy lives on, in the life they lived, and the characters they brought to life. Farewell to both voice actors, you will both be missed dearly.

Love me, hate me, Follow me, Block me, I've got a Romeo rant to post that goes over to the comments to anyone who will read it.
          
          Why I love Romeo: He's the part of humanity we refuse to acknowledge. He's everything humans are, and refuse to acknowledge, both as a human and as an Admin. His pride, his pettiness, his opinionated mindset. There are people like you and me who have these traits. The small things, like his conversation with Jesse depending on his choice. How he lashes when simply insulted, but how he opens up if you give him a small chance. Discarding the Underneath. Burying the hatched. Isn't that a human thing to do? To abandon your past mistakes and move on weather you make worse mistakes or not? But the biggest thing is that despite everything.... he did the one thing that a real life person almost never does... open his eyes... see the mess he made crumble in front of him. His first reaction is self hate, lack of whatever he had that kept him alive.
          
          If you leave him there... that's how his story ends. but deep down, there is something. His immediate reaction to save the gang even if he was left behind, that spark to do right.
          
          I don't save him because I think he's cute anymore... I save him because his true redemption is enduring the hours of repaying his debt to society. The hordes of people who will hurt him, the waves of people who will wash him in hatred. To repent for the hell he unleashed upon everyone, he needs to face living purgatory.
          
          And Xara... Romeo is the person she wants to see the least... but at the same time, he's all she has left. However much of her rage, how ever much of her demanding pleas to his true motive, however much of her anguish she unleashes... he needs to see it, he needs to see her... he needs to understand how much she suffered... before he can make amends.
          
          Rest of the rant in my comment

That is the biggest thing a large portion of humanity refuses to acknowledge, humility... people can change, but they don't want to. They refuse to acknowledge the possibility that they are in the wrong.
            
            The fact that Romeo actually wants to change despite all he's done... when some people in real life who have done less horrible crimes will never stop ... is what I appreciate about him... in a world where you have to watch your back... seeing such a flawed character have this tiny spark.... it's nice.

To anyone in the CRK fandom it concerns...
          
          So... Cookie Run Kingdom is not a hyper-fixation of mine... just something I tried once, but I need to let this out.... The beast cookies are supposed to have been the first cookies... right? Look at their names. Mystic Flour, Burning Spice, Shadow Milk, Eternal Sugar and Silent Salt.
          
          Notice the pattern... let me run it by you more clearly.
          
          Mystic FLOUR, Burning SPICE, Shadow MILK, Eternal SUGAR and Silent SALT.
          
          FLOUR, SPICE, MILK, SUGAR AND SALT.
          
          THOSE ARE THE ORIGINAL INGREDIENTS FOR A COOKIE RECIPE!

Little but of a rant about Romeo from Minecraft Story Mode, HE IS SELF - CONSCIOUS ABOUT THE BAD THINGS HE'S DONE ONCE HE LOSES HIS POWERS, IN CASE ANYONE FORGETS!!
          
          Like, yes, a single 'I'm sorry' doesn't excuse what he's done, but in case you forget he immediately starts hating himself and is convinced he desert die, HE HATES HIMSELF FOR IT!! And do you know the funny part, HE STILL SAVES YOUR F #KIN' LIVES EVEN IF YOU DON'T BRING HIM WITH YOU!!! And when you do, HE WANTS TO TRY AND MAKE THINGS RIGHT!!
          
          I know it's not a proper redemption but it p#sses me off that people ignore this. He's no saint but you guys are refusing to be the bigger person in the room. Romeo hurt a lot of people but do you know who he hurt most? Fred, Xara, and HIMSELF! He chose the most unhealthy ways to cope with his loneliness and now he's depressed. The dog may have been mad but you guys are the ones kicking the dog while he's down, you're no better.
          
          I for one whole heartedly belive Romeo CAN change.
          
          Exhibit A: Look at Hadrian, he hasn't nearly done worse than Romeo but he still f#ckin priorities running away from his problems instead of wanting to make amends, and he didn't show an OUNCE of remorse. If the guy who committed worse crimes can realize "Oh sh#t, I f#cked up big time, I kinda suck," but Hadrian can't, that makes him worse. An always good step in the right direction is acknowledgement of your wrong doings, and Romeo took that step. It genuinely ticks me off seeng slander of ma boy instead of a PROPER redemption ark. Because on the subject...
          
          Exhibit B: Remember Chef Saltbaker from Cuphead: The delicious last course? The guy who chopped up living fruit and tried to use someone from the trio to make some dessert? The guy the Cuphead fan base said was worse than the f#cking devil? The devs gave him time in prison and he came to realize he was the bad guy, did community service and made amends. HOW TF DOES ROMEO NOT GET THAT TREATMENT.!
          
          I'd rant further but I'm out of space.

So I'm continuing to rant in the comments.
            
            Romeo CAN CHANGE!! All he has to do is get his ass up, get his sh#t together and put the effort in. Like Jack said, TONS of Community service. Probably including: helping rebuild Champion City, helping destroy or alter the changes he made to BeaconTown, building a shelter for the prisoners of Sunshine Institute, helping Xara build a little house for herself, helping the denizens of the Underneath from all three towns, the list goes on.
            
            Next to that community service is of course, THERAPY! Put him in rehab with a therapist, no not an 'I listen to you and give you strategic advice because I get payed for it' therapist, give hima an 'I listen to you because I care about doing my job properly and helping my patients' therapist, some one who will listen to his side of the story as well and use everything to determine the best course of action.
            
            Give Romeo a proper Redemption arc, weather he deserves it or not, I am whole heartedly convinced it's worth it. Yes, yes I am playing the "I can fix him" card, and I am playing it by aggressively making him go and fix himself.
            
            Romeo DOES have the potential to be redeemed, but no one flicker sees that.
            
            Okay... I'm done.

For anyone who has watched Sonic three, I literally dug around to see any reader inserts that transpired, and one of them (Platonic) had me like, "Did Reader basically just adopt Shadow?" And I ain't gonna lie, there is a Romesah universe where the kids aren't involved, it's just Aneesah and Romeo and they make it into some other world to be with each other. Imagine shadow shows up there and they take him in and Aneesah is just... "Romeo, we're adopting him." "What?!" Okay, jokes aside, imagine it. Romeo telling a dad joke out of nowhere and Aneesah makes him a little scarf and they soon realize they've basically taken him in and suddenly this is their alien emo kid. Now remember, this is a universe without Endria, Asha and Julius, so he ends up being an only child until the cannon 3 kids maybe end up coming around down the line. Maybe an alt one where the two have child Asha and Endria and baby Julius. I can See him seeing Maria's energy in Asha while Endria's more calm demeanor would be comforting and they'd just chill together. Then all three of them get into big sibling mode when taking care of baby Julius. Also, shadow was born from the commet, full grown, no child form, just.... *GASP* HOW COULD YOU GUN!?!? HE'S JUST A BABY!!! I love shadow so much you don't understand.

My first post of 2025 and what is it?
          
          A rant about Toxic Masculinity.
          
          As a woman, let me make one thing freaking clear.
          
          If I get married in the future and my husband is insecure because he's more Malewife than Husband, this is my damn respons. I don't care if you're not some big manly man stud. Do you Love me? Do you respect me? Do you treat me as an equal? Do you listen to me when I need you the most? Do you still want to be around me regardless of my flaws? Yes? Then I f #king love you.
          
          A guy who thinks being a man is being the big tough guy, not showing emotion and being the big shot of the house,  is not attractive. Especially not when you don't communicate with or are not open with others.
          
          Honesty is the biggest green flag one can wave. Opening up about your negatives as well as your positives. Lying to anyone, especially yourself, will just do damage. Even if the truth hurts, lies hurt a million times worse. Same goes with secrets.
          
          Personally I think a relationship should not be about one person taking care of the other. It should be about both people taking care of each other. There should be no dominant role in the relationship itself, there should be equality. Two people together, working together.
          
          If you disagree, don't bother trying to convince me.
