#<- this is my verso tag i've decided

[birdadjacent]

it's so hard to talk about verso to people who haven't played clair obscur. like, yes, he's my special little guy. yes, he's one of the most interesting and nuanced characters I've come across in many many many many years. yes, i'm fully obsessed with him. yes, he makes me feel the shrimp emotions. no, i don't want him to live a long healthy happy life. in fact, i want him dead <3

You will know loss all too well, because we live in an unforgiving world.

My cosplay tags:

Photos, gifs, videos from costests/cos shoots/cons

Inprogresses (costumes, 3d printing etc)

One of these days I'll be able to decide on which versions of the photos I like best, but today is not that day, so more in-game resembling version as well:

I've finished the game btw, I wish there was a less bittersweet ending. Spoilery ramblings below.

I really wish there was a version where Maelle gets to stay in Lumiere, and Verso is not so adamant about not wanting that life. Like... I get where the game is coming from. I get it! Yes, you shouldn't try to escape from your reality. But at this point in my life, I get Maelle/Alicia so bloody much. I wish I could escape my body rn. I've honestly never felt worse, if I could get a couple dozen good healthy years somewhere I've got people who care about me and where my body won't be hurting pretty much 24/7 I'd trade for that life in a heartbeat, reality be damned. And Alicia is hurting. She's literally disabled, there's no way her missing eye isn't giving her constant pain, there's just none. That doesn't sound like a good fulfilling life to me, and no one left in her family struck me as particularly caring about her, especially with that remark about only the smallest painting on the wall being hers and deserving of being there. Like you can't belittle someone, and then act like you care. Also been there. (: idk idk. Renoir lived 67 years under the Monolith, so she actually should have a ton of years to live in the Canvas, even if that's a short while in Paris where she'll die. To her, she'd stil probably live long. I just fail to see how living in constant pain in the real world is better, and her family doesn't strike me as a good enough factor. Yet the 'bad' ending is so unnecessarily creepy for some reason. Like all those people have lived in Lumiere for so long, and there was even this line by pretty much Verso:

So why is it suddenly that everyone and everything is so uncanny in the 'bad' ending.

idk I just want more RPGs to have more uplifting endings. Even if tonally that would be a bit off to some, I want at least pixels on my screen I spend dozens of hours with to be happy and healthy. And yeah, I realize how ecapism'y it sounds which is basically what the endings are about. idgaf. :(

And the 'good' ending didn't feel at all good to me. It was almost a LiS situation all over again there you either save one person, or you save the city aka the Canvas and everyone in it. Everyone you've actually spent time with unlike the Dessendre family. Sans feeling like you actually save Alicia/Maelle in my case, rather subject her to pain and the life she doesn't want.

Oh an honestly, are we sure their real world is real?

Last time I checked, December 33 wasn't on any calendars... Like sure, it could be just a final nod to the game's name and dev team having 32 ppl and a dog, but it could also be like the totem in 'Inception' I DON'T KNOW ahhh xD
