My Ship Explained in 5 Minutes (Kage Stats)

Story and gameplay concepts below! vvv

You have been staying in Japan after traveling there for a highly advanced medical procedure. Your only friend, Koyomi, sees how isolated you have become here, and is encouraging you to get into dating. She offers to introduce you to the sweet, normal, well-adjusted single guys she knows in your apartment complex. But for whatever reason, she doesn't seem to want you to meet Kage, your next-door neighbor.

"There's something really off about him. If you decide to talk to him, obviously I can't stop you. Just...please be careful. He's really...fragile."

Every choice you make with/towards your yandere neighbor will have a disproportionately larger impact on him than all the other dating "options," for better or worse. Also, be careful about the other "options." Every choice you make with them also affects Kage.

Build your guys' stats through interactions and cute dates. Figure out what they like and make them cute gifts. Witness Kage become increasingly unhinged and navigate the fallout of his wacky antics.

What you say, do, don't say or don't do all matter. Especially to your yandere!

Why has he latched on to you so tightly? Reach the "true ending" to find out, along with answers to other questions raised along the way.

Choose your name, gender, and appearance. Choose your birthday for some fun birthday surprises. Choose your guy, or guys. But remember Koyomi's advice: be really careful with Kage. He's fragile.

have i mentioned that i was moved by your screen dream

[didntyoubelieveinme]

i posted this yesterday but it flopped so i’m posting it again!!! 🤭🤭

In velvet goldmine, we see 2HB being used (technically??) in three different scenes. The first time is when we see brian preform (chronologically), second was in the bar restaurant thingy curt and arthur were in, and the third time was at the end of the movie when jack fairy preforms

The first time this song plays, it sets up the major use of it further in the movie. We see it when brian is very new to making music and performing, this idea of the early days. Before he was taken over and changed by playing as maxwell demon. This was before maxwell demon was even a thought. He was just brian.

A big point made in this movie is the change between decades. The 80s is depicted as this grayer and duller era while the 70s an era of expression and creativity. At the end of brian’s interview, mandy says, “for the first time in brian’s life, he was simply telling it like it was. did he realize what he’d actually done? how could he have? i mean today, there’d be fighting in the streets. but in 1972… it was more like dancing.” 2HB is used as this small bit of the past, of what was before.

The second time we hear the song was with arthur and curt. The entire scene plays as this sense of regret and what went wrong. They then have their whole conversation, and we have the very iconic quote, “we set out to change the world, ended up just changing ourselves… what’s wrong with that?… nothing, if you don’t look at the world.” We then get a longshot of all the other tables and people. With the grays and the dull colors you get more imagery of just how much is different. In the end the world did change, just never how they expected it to. Curt mourns the past while brian appeals to the present, ever craving for fame.

As curt gives arthur the pin from brian, someone plays 2HB on the jukebox and, after this entire conversation about how things have changed, its almost this blast from the past—how things started out, how they used to be beautiful.

The last time we hear this song is in the ending sequence of this movie. We see jack fairy singing it and as we do, there is this backdrop that projects the faces of the big glam rock stars in this time period. The scene then fades into the same sequence we saw from the beginning of the movie, and as the shot pans into a radio that no one is taking the time to pay attention to, we see just how much things are different. It will never be like it one was, but we’ll have this one thing. Their music will forever be an echo of the past, no matter how much the world changes they will have always happened.

Got Bobbie’s Marauder II painted to “would use it in a game” standard. Will almost certainly fuss with it further, and I may try to source a sheet of BattleTech-scaled Roci nose art decals somewhere. Possibly other insignias as well.

So now I’ve gotta paint her Urbie and get a Dougram printed to run as her SLDF Shadowhawk.

my next piece for the art class is a portrait!

this is what I ended up with by the end of the class. my teacher said that my "take on pencil drawing" is "mad" and she loves it, and it's honestly one of the best art compliments I've ever received lol

it took me around 2 hours to get it to look like that, you can get a peek at the process after the cut:

Just been doing some routine debugging for the game, as well as working on the Steam achievements some more. Also added another map with more exhibits to the zoo: camels, pandas, and tigers have been added. There are seasonal maps for the zoo (spring/summer/autumn; zoo is closed in winter). Summer map shown here.

Learn some fun animal facts, feed the camels (will be adding feeding options for other animals too), buy overpriced zoo food and have a picnic!

I forgot to demonstrate in the video, but you can sit on the benches and at the picnic tables.

You can take Kage and/or Yurei here for a date :>

hey could you explain who jack fairy is im stupid and cant figure out why hes such a big character in the fandom

Omg yes absolutely! Thanks for the ask Anon!

Jack Fairy is the fictional originator of glam rock in the VG universe. He's the one who discovers Oscar Wilde's pin (aka the gay alien sex brooch) as a child. The pin is meant to represent an "instinctive need to camp it up", or owning queerness authentically. As an adult, Jack is considered a "true original", the one who inspires the rest of the glam scene.

Jack Fairy is technically a minor character in the film in terms of screentime, but he's very important to the narrative itself. He's at the Sombrero club when Brian and Mandy meet, and where Brian steals the emerald pin from him. While Brian has a meteoric rise, partially on the strength of stealing from/being inspired by Jack, it's implied that Jack never sees that same level of fame. Later, he's living in Berlin and finds Curt there after Curt and Brian break up. The two of them make an album together a la Bowie and Iggy. At the end of the film, Jack performs at the Death of Glitter concert, closing the chapter on the scene which he originated. That's also the pivotal show where Mandy and Curt have a moment, Brian shows up and leaves, and Arthur and Curt get it on on the roof.

I can't speak on behalf of all of fandom, but some of the reasons Jack Fairy is so beloved to me are:

He's one of the most authentic characters in the film. MUCH more authentic than Brian ever is. We see Jack making art out of his pain from childhood. We recognize his constant struggle and need to express himself truly.

He doesn't get the flowers he deserves, which is typical to first movers in pretty much any art form. He's the one who paved the way for glam to flourish, and others stand on his shoulders and claim the accolades.

He falls victim to Brian's ruthless theft multiple times over. (Sorry not sorry, I'm a Brian hater). The pin, the Sombrero club, Mandy, the glitter entourage, his music (I have a headcanon that "2HB" is a Jack Fairy song that Brian covers), etc. I wrote a fic about this concept specifically if you're interested!

He basically helps Curt get over Brian. This is more of a personal headcanon, but at this point I am in too deep to think otherwise. The fact that Curt meets Jack and then they make an album and put on a concert together is an incredible story in and of itself (and as a matter of fact I wrote that too!)

I think in general, smaller characters with a lot of space for exploration are the most fun ones to latch onto in fandom. Jack's storyline has so much potential for further analysis/art/etc. But more specifically to Jack, he is someone deeply rooted in their authenticity who doesn't get to reap the rewards of being himself, compared to those who reap the rewards of putting on an elaborate image (cough cough Brian). It's a tragic arc, which is always fun to fawn over.

Todd Haynes obviously has some great things to say about Jack Fairy, and I made a post last year pulling that together:

I'd also love to tag in Number One Jack Fairy Fan @silverfactory - maybe you have anything you'd like to add?

Sorry that this is so long-winded! I got overly excited :p

Submitter's note: This soundtrack album was first released in 1998 on CD but was pressed into vinyl for the first time in 2019 due to the cult classic status of the film Velvet Goldmine, a libelous ;-) chronicle of the 1970s glam rock era and David Bowie.

Film asks: Velvet Goldmine!

ask me about a film

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite| masterpiece

Another one I haven't seen in SUCH a long time! Also probably due for a rewatch. I did listen to a couple of the songs recently! I always loved 2HB a lot.

Send me a film ask!
