Hikari, Haruka and Lynne:

I've replaced three underachievers in my Wonderful Fictional Characters Hall of Fame with three new girls.  Lymle, Virginia and Umerus are out -- and Hikari, Haruka and Lynne are in.

My complaint with Lymle is she's a little too stupid to take seriously.  As for Virginia she's too reckless.  And as for Umerus she's a bit too treacherous for my taste.  Hikari is very much not treacherous, the coolest thing about her is she decides not to betray Hideo by dumping him in favor of Hiro like everyone suggests she should.  She's also a beautiful and inspiring girl who brings out the best in those around her.  Haruka is also inspirational, in that she gets people to try hard and not give up, but mainly because they're worried about what would happen if they left Haruka alone.  Sort of like how an infant inspires a parent.  Haruka is pretty and good-natured and eventually loving and that's good enough for me.  They're both from H2, the two main heroines.

Lynne is the third loli from Koujo Denka, the one dressed in red.  As opposed to Tina who dresses in blue, or Ellie who dresses in green.  It's hard to include blue and green loli and exclude red loli, since they're so similar aside from their favorite color.  Basically I'll never deny any loli anything, so in Lynne goes.

When Lymle dropped out I no longer needed her 4-star Star Ocean song in my Wonderful playlist, since the new characters had nothing to do with Star Ocean.  So I replaced Brilliant Future with 'Fight!' from Xenoblade 1, a much better song.  Now I feel like my Wonderful playlist really does have its strongest possible lineup of music.  I wouldn't want to change a single song even if I could.  I also flipped the rating of Mercphobia to 4-star and Mystic Mysidia to 3-star, though both remain in my Wonderful playlist regardless.

Meanwhile, a trans spree shooter attacked a Catholic School out of pure hatred, despite the kids having done nothing to him (pretending to be a her).  This tragedy wouldn't have happened if my law banning all lgbt+ from existence had passed, or my law banning firearms for the general public had passed.  But none of my recommendations are ever passed so here we are.  Everyone who doesn't listen to me -- this blood is on your hands, not mine.
