swings a pocket watch in front of you. oohhh you want to learn about afflatus. you want to understand the ecological cycle between them explained in the early stages of the game and the themes they represent. mineral and plant referring to community and groups vs beast and star referring to isolation and the individual. ohhhh you want to look into them. you want to understand the differences between how mineral refers to the solid systems and traditions and unmovable concepts that rule this world, manmade or not vs how plant refers to the everchanging adapting systems found in nature that inherently belong in this world

ohhhh yes you want to understand that the beast afflatus refers to the underdog's fight against an environment that doesnt allow space for them vs the star afflatus isolation of being singled out due to a trait or talent that sets you apart from your environment. hence why beast is weak against mineral (its an individual at disadvantage vs an entire system that works against them) and why mineral is weak against star (its the established rules and traditions vs the trailblazing genius that can topple societies. and why star is weak against plant (its the revolutionary against the rules of nature that states everything must change, you are not special for causing change) and why plant is weak against beast (its the harmony of a community being destroyed from inside by an individual seeking something for themselves)

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you want to study in-game details and analyze them to see the full picture of a character you want to understand that dikke is not a cruel judge because her incantations are attack and heal and they both have flavor text that differentiates between justice for those who need it and the abuse of power. because shes not heartless nor strictly cold, shes attempting to make a difference from inside a corrupt system.

ohhhhh you want to understand that pavia is not a broken person who is touchstarved for community because he has made himself his own community as seen with his incantations and gamemode that highlights he's much happier doing whatever the fuck he wants on his own without restraint. ohhhhhhh you want to understand the reason 37 and regulus butt heads so much is because they're two sides of the star afflatus experience, but both of them are equally as smart and equally as valid as geniuses in their own righ

o hhhhhhhhh you want to understand that afflatus refers to the experiences someone goes through and explains why they are like this as people, hence why life changing explanations can change your afflatus and this is why kakania was INTELLECT in 1.7 but she became PLANT in 1.9 in the main story oooooooooooooooooo

Seeing this transition, everyone is saying this has to be sua clone theory and i feel stupid cause my first thought was maybe transition was just symbolism cause mizi probably feels like shes the one who killed sua..

Hii I read your mizi and sua post and this is so completely unrelated but do u have any recs for ppl who really liked anthy or sua?

Ooh, that's a really interesting question! They both have a very unique and eerie vibe that I think is very difficult to find in other series. But if you don't mind reading books, then I'd definitely recommend something by Milan Kundera. He's one of my favourite writers and the theme of irrevocable doom and the ever-present kitsch somehow really makes me think of these characters. I'd especially recommend The Unbearable Lightness of Being, one of his most famous works. But you should be aware that there are a lot of historical references in his books, and they can get political, too, so proceed with caution.

When it comes to manga, you should check out My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness if you're interested in more... Yuri-themed things. It made me feel a lot of emotions, and I relate to the protagonist a lot. Also while on the topic of yuri, for something more wholesome you should check out Kase-san's Morning Glories! The famous green yuri seems cool, too, but I can't recommend it as of now because I'm still in the middle of things.

Oh, and this one might be just me seeing my favourite characters in everything I consume, but the fruitless yearning of the protagonist of The Doll by Bolesław Prus really makes me think of Sua. And listening to Heart and Sua's cover of Ruler of My Heart while reading this book was an immense experience.

Besides that, if you're into a bit of psychology, then you should watch Serial Experiments Lain, since it's heavily inspired by Carl Jung. Also Lain and Alice remind me a lot of UtenAnthy pre rooftop scene and MiziSua pre The True Face comic.

And, of course, this list would never be complete without Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu, the lesbian vampire book. Again pre rooftop and The True Face but still twisted.

And if you're into poetry, then maybe A Girl with Tangled Hair by Yosano Akiko would be good, but this one is purely vibes.

I hope I managed to recommend something that you'll end up liking!
