#also kokoford/clockhead????? what

[banooky]

i’m just going to out and say, i am so sorry raincode fandom (the portion that may love the character i’m talking about, anyway) that this is my first original post on social media about it, but yomi hellsmile is absolutely terrifying to me.

i relate to martina electro in a very specific way: in a “my boyfriend whom i trusted and would have done anything for abused and abandoned me” way. i’m on my second playthrough of raincode, and i love this game, it’s already in my top 5 favorite games of all time.

but goodness gracious. that cutscene of yomi literally abusing martina on-screen does not get any less gut-wrenching. i say this as a person who knows exactly how she felt, as she was getting dragged away, still holding on to that hope, desperately believing he still loved her. and he just turns away with a smirk as she cried out for him, just like what happened to me in real life. loving your abuser is hard and it hurts.

so seeing martina just stand there silently as yomi had every millimeter of power stripped away from him was so deeply satisfying to me. and it made her my favorite female character in the game. i wish i could do that, but i will happily settle for living vicariously through her.
