II 2 finale spoilerss
Box being somewhat of a gag character whose just this box that other contestants talk to is kinda well
Hes kind of on the same boat as the deanimated/inanimate contestants except obviously everyone sees him as an alive being i wonder if he will have any importance plot wise
My daughter, Faiza , is experiencing breathing problems and we're looking for treatment for her. Additionally, she injured her finger and has undergone three surgeries, but it still isn't healing. We're reaching out for help.

The irony of making an ao3 account to post fence content while not making any at all is baffling to me *screams in agony*
*opens notes app because i will write fence content i will write fence content i will write fence content i will-*

spanish ver. of the last drawing and references⬇⬇⬇
references ⬇⬇⬇
as we draw near the release of the next issue here's my list of (not completely serious) sweet sixteen predictions:
jesse and nicholas fight that feels really brotherly even if they don't know yet. i'm saying hair-yanking, kicking shins, fingers in the face. they're playing fully unfair.
seiji gets benched and they put nicholas in instead of him (way back there was a panel about how the closer should never be replaced by the reserve....... foreshadowing perhaps?)
this leads to seiji complimenting nicholas and NOW we get nicholas realizing he has a crush too (this either spurs him on during the next bout or causes him to have a crisis)
seiji and marcus sweet moment where marcus compliments seiji and it actually means something to him because he was his idol as a kid
harvard gets to say fuck, aiden engages in more internal turmoil than normal
confirmation (as far as there has been the implication) that aiden and nate are exes and everything that comes with that
we discover whether robert coste knows about nicholas or not (my bet is on not) but jesse doesn't find out in this issue
we get some kind of insight on jesse's relationship with fencing (whether he's just a natural talent, it's just for the family, or is as obsessed with it as seiji, ect)
kyle somehow fucks shit up bad. or he has a really funny one liner. like either he's fundamental to the plot of this issue or he's just there to look back and forth between jesse and nick going "oh what the hell"
ok but seriously: harvard and marcel will probably speak during the tournament and aiden will fuck shit up either for himself or others, mayhaps along with someone actually getting him to talk
someone who's not a trusted adult discovers nicholas's relation to the costes (bobby, aiden, or kyle?) and it either gets out, so nick deals with the fallout of that, or they have the moral dilemma of telling someone (coach, robert, or perhaps nick himself)
williams/lewis crumbs lol
haiden kiss. for me specifically. it won't happen but i so wish that it would. and if it does happen it should give us insight on why aiden refuses to apply himself to fencing and harvard's relationship with being captain and responsibility, and they should be deeply troubled and shaken up by it
some more insight on nicholas's dynamic with his mom and maybe information he has about her and robert's relationship?
for the giggles: team finds out seiji never celebrated his 16th because he was in france, so they set up a little celebration for him (hence "sweet sixteen") (this is my favorite one out of all of these) (i have many emotions about seiji being in france, alone, for a year)
last but not least: someone gets carded at least once and someone yells at the refs (happens without fail at every team comp)
"Please, save what remains of us."
With all kindness, put yourself in my family's place—what would you do?
Hello Dear,
I write to you overwhelmed with pain and helplessness 😔. My name is Abdelsalam, and I carry a burden too heavy to bear. My little daughter Amoona 👧 is living in unimaginable conditions. Every day is a battle for survival, where even her most basic rights—safety 🛡️, medicine 💊, and food 🍞—are distant dreams.
Amoona doesn't know the taste of childhood. She is growing up in a world that shows no mercy 💔, and as a father, I feel helpless watching her grow without being able to protect her. You have a voice that reaches millions 🎤, and your influence can be the difference between life and death.
I kindly ask, not just as a father but as a human 🙏, if you could consider offering some financial support, no matter how small, to help us provide the essentials Amoona needs. Your generosity could change our lives and bring hope back to my daughter’s future.
Additionally, I beg you to help spread my campaign. Let my voice reach the world 🌍, let people know what we are going through. All I ask is for a few words from you, but those words, alongside your support, could save Amoona and give her the life she deserves 💫.
Every word, every share, and every bit of help could be a lifeline ⛑️.
With the deepest gratitude,
Abdelsalam
!!!! I may not be able to help financially but I can help spread the word- please stay safe :(( 💛 May you and your family find prosperity
II finale spoilers kinda-
I always felt a bit weird and confused at the introduction of the newbie contestants of iii like they didnt watch the show but they want to win and came to compete but also they have no reason to stay (nobody knew what the prize was) and we dont know where mephone picked them up from
Dont get me wrong i love iii and i think i get it now why the intro felt so weird to me cus atleast the season 2 contestants knew about the show and seemed like fans / people who knew what they were in for or idk theres something about the way iii newbie contestants were introduced that didnt make sense to me and i dont know how to explain it😭
nonetheless with the whole ii finale revelation the fact that no contestant had a life or anything outside of the show (+ suitcases conflict about leaving it behind) is so dhdhdfhfj *sobs really hard*
I dont know how to explain why this is important
But let's not forget that Parkour Civilization is a meritocracy. A socialist autocratic meritocracy.
I feel people don't dwell on this fact enough, opting to just focus on the capitalist allegories, which is awesome bc the allegory is strong and well made, but the literal government seperate from allegory is ALSO very well made and unique, i mean I've never seen a fictional government quite like it, and it's impressive.
People often struggle to conceive the thought of another government or societal idea, and Evbo managed to make an entire government and social norm completely different from any of our own.
Like, let's break this government (or lack of) down.
Parkour Civilization has a sole and all-powerful ruler, The Champion. Which makes the society autocratic with a dictator.
The "businesses" ( housing stores, buying food and blocks, etc. ) are collectivley owned, not belonging to a single person but rather the community. Especially in higher layers, people receive as much as they give to their society. If they work, they get food, they do extra tasks, they get blocks. It's essentially a Marxist Leninist socialist society, but one that's heavily affected by the meritocracy, which can make it seem more capitalist leaning.
Speaking of Meritocratic society, people often mistake the meritocratic aspects as being outright capitalistic, like the social hierarchies and needing to parkour for basic necessities. HOWEVER this is because the society is structured based on your merits in parkour, those with a higher skill level are placed higher in the social chain. Thats why the Parkour Champion is a dictator, because they're the person who is THE BEST at parkour, making them the most capable to lead society according to meritocracy.
In any case, the fact that people are forced to parkour ALL the time is pretty understandable, considering this government is based on merit. They're encouraging people to show off and practice their parkour because their skill level is the only thing to get them anywhere in society. Based on their merits, they get their bare essentials, and if they have particularly good skill levels, they can rank up in society and have access to better resources.
People also always talk about how Evbo didn't make food and resources accesable for free without parkour, which is kind of where the capitalist lens takes over because those things ARE free. There isn't a system of currency in Parkour Civilization. it's all just MERITS. The fact they can die from parkour and the fact they use language like "buy" and "sell" makes it seem capitalistic, but they dont work and receive currency. The currency is infinite as long as their SKILL SET allows it. People had to worry about the consequence of dying from parkour, which is what made it scarce and less accesable, people werent willing to try. Evbo, however, gave them the ability to try again without consequence, which pretty much DOES make everything free, as free as it gets. They have infinite "currency" based on their skills, and theres no consequence for failing or trying again.
I also feel that when people beg Evbo or the future generations to turn Parkour Civilization into more of a communist society, they're completely ignoring the worldbuilding. That is an insane leap to make, from a society based on parkour abilities to having nothing to do with parkour? "Well, they can still parkour!" They could, but you'd be removing the vitality of it completely. I mean, imagine asking the states to become fully communist? It's an insane change that their society would never make, and thats not the end goal. Society can be functional and good without our interpretation of a utopic government because every society is different.
I love the government in Parkour Civilization. Please hear this. And ask me questions or talk to me about it.
Suddenly imagining Tiresias getting visions of this before/while odysseus is down in the underworld no wonder why bro sounded haunted😭
