The way canto 7 had lots of lust focus in the bloodfiend skills only for this intervallo to come out and say “oh yeah lust isn’t horniness or hunger it’s a desire to share a part of yourself, even in as mundane a way as other people listening to your ideas” and then follow it up a little later with “bloodfiends desire to turn others in order to make the weight of the thirst more bearable” is making me scream. It’s about sharing the weight of suffering…. and then Don Quixote flipped it on its head and turned it into a desire to share a dream….

Camille da Goat [SPOILERS FOR CANTO 7 WAHOOO]

hey guys im back from my slumber to yap I was playing Canto 7 for the third time (healthy ik) and I saw this little gem of dialogue

Camille says this when Don is doing her usual shtick and I first read it as a joke. just, streamer guy thinking she's putting on an act which mirrors how irl streamers sometimes play characters for their audience but like,,, what are the chances this guy just soul read Don's entire backstory... The Cinq are duelist, they're very familiar with reading body language during fights. So its plausible that Camille, who we know is actually a relatively big deal canonically since he was named one of the "top 5 rising fixers" in fixer monthly, instantly clocked that Don was literally roleplaying as a valiant hero from the get-go.

uhhh this would make even more sense if Camille was part of Seven Association cuz of their whole gimmick and Seven Meursault uptie story BUTTT CARMILE IS MY GOAT MAN HE SOLOS THE VERSE

[BIG BOY POST + I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING DON'T LISTEN TO ME] I have to preface this with a HUGEEE disclaimer that an unhealthy workplace is never acceptable, and that the culture of a company being shit is almost *always* the fault and neglect of leadership. That out of the way, as an avid pm fan its impossible to avoid the conversations that have been occurring about PM as a company, and after Ji-Hoon Kim's live stream, these conversations sort of converged on his role in the company and his lack of aptitude as CEO. Second disclaimer, I'm not here to glaze Ji-Hoon as an unassailable god, I think its clear to anyone keeping an eye on whats been happening that he's very suspectable to shitty mistakes. But what's bothered me, and the whole point of this post I guess, is the tone of some of the criticism addressed to him. People have sort of defaulted to the way they talk about every other irresponsible or greedy CEO when talking about him, but I think that misses a lot of important context that's vital to understanding why these things keep happening. Ji-Hoon did not go to university for business communications, or entrepreneurship, or any other fields related to heading a company. Ji-Hoon attended Ajou University for 4 years as a *game developer*, and as a scenario writer for all three PM games, he seemed to have a passion for writing as well. That is to say, Ji-Hoon Kim is an artist. Being a game director and writer are both creative positions, and from my research, he seems to have no prior experience in any other fields. The reason why this distinction is so important is because a lot of the discussion has been directed at PM's treatment of its artists, rightfully so, but its also been tinged by the preconception of CEO's as people who care for profits and growth, often to the detriment of the artists that work under them [A preconception that historically has been proven accurate, BUT only because these people are brought in by a board of directors from the business world] It also largely explains Ji-Hoon's almost nonchalance towards the company, and his controversial statement about wanting to "run it as a club". To many people, this sounded eerily like the corporate "we're all family" excuse that's often given to mistreat workers, but looking at Ji-Hoon's background, and how he started PM as a passion project between 7 people with his scholarship money, as an actual creative, it very much comes across to me as naivety, not malice.

This doesn't abdicate Ji-Hoon completely, and in fact, makes him culpable in other ways. PM has grown to a team of 45 people- its safe to say that it needs leadership from a business savvy, [hopefully] ethical CEO, and that Ji-Hoon simply does not have the tools in his skillset to provide that. However, his work and vision are still vital to Project Moon, and I'd love to see him shift to a position that still has creative control, but that separates him from the business and leadership aspects for the workers and his own good. I'm still quite fond of 300 lunacy man, and I think a CEO as passionate as him has its sets of advantages, but I think he's understandably out of his depth here, and I just hope that a conclusion where all parties are satisfied can reached.

holy yap sesh imma go play demon souls now
