#for each of them

I like the difference between the different conclusions of each protagonist in their games

Yeah genuinely, I love it. All protagonists found meaning in different ways and are not similar like some people like to say as their similarities are only superficial.

For example, Makoto’s conclusion is how hope keeps going. It’s not simply that hope defeats despair, no. Makoto doesn’t ignore despair. In fact, he acknowledges the pain and deaths they all experienced, admits that despair is powerful and contagious and even respects the fact that people can fall into despair, even good people. But despite all of that, he doesn’t surrender to despair, he still tries to keep moving forward. Even with loss and the painful memory that he decides to remember and that’s what makes him optimistic at the end, an optimism who becomes even more genuine in the last chapter compared to chapters 2 and 3 (yes chapter 1 Makoto is different from any Makoto throughout the game). He has a bias for hope while still acknowledging the existence of despair.

While Hajime’s conclusion lies in the fact that he does not support either hope and despair. His fusion with Kamakura indicates that instead of confronting hope and despair, he puts them into a symbiosis. We can see it through his eyes with one red (despair) and with one green (hope). Yeah colors like green and red are always opposed with Makoto being overly linked to the color green through his clothes, Hajime and Nagito as well for example. He finds meaning in self agency and in a uncertain future deprived of bias. So he has no bias here.

And finally Shuichi’d conclusion is also found in meaning about his own experience, emotions, pain being real. He finds meaning in finding his own truth beyond the binary choice of despair. But V3 does not deny hope, at least the hope of Makoto. Shuichi does reject hope and despair but those two were used as tools for keep continuing the killing game. They were weaponized. They exist as constructed ideals to manipulate the participants.

Ki-Bo is the one who is used to try to emulate the hope of Makoto as his design is completely based on Makoto. However Ki-Bo is only a puppet and is an embodiment of how Makoto-style hope has become mechanical, performative, and hollow. He is a tool used by the killing game to try once again to wrap it up in a battle of hope against despair. The speech he made is hollow because it does not come from him. It’s different from the hope of Makoto who is a personal one, found in his pain, suffering. It is a personal truth that he chose to believe. The hope of Makoto isn’t transferable and in the context of V3, Makoto wouldn’t chose “hope” as it isn’t truly hope how he sees it as it’s basically manipulated to perpetuate suffering.

So Shuichi here has no bias toward Hope and despair like Hajime, he refuses that to let both concepts to be a script that he is forced to follow

They all have their own conclusion which sets them apart totally and it’s cool!

The season 1 dynamic we never got to see.

Whoever conceived and animated this moment, I hope they're doing well and thriving. This is S-rank romance stuff here.

I guess the real glorious evolution was the homoerotic yearning we made along the way

I’ve always wanted to draw what I think the various Deltarune weapons look like, and I figure why not start with the swords!

something about vi never wanting anyone in her life to change. something about jayce not caring at all how much viktor has changed so long as he's alive. something about the way vi associates radical change with death, perceiving jinx's continued existence as a kind of necromantic horror—the way jayce would shatter fundamental laws of nature without a second thought in order to give viktor the best chance at survival, in whatever form that may take. transformation as rebirth vs murder, hextech vs shimmer. nature has made us intolerant to change, but fortunately, we have the capacity to change our nature. and then jayce, realizing that he hasn't changed at all, not really—that he is a scientist at heart, and he shouldn't have tried to be anything else. and then vi, realizing she has become someone unrecognizable—never thought my sister would turn bluebelly. and for both of them, it's too little, too late.

honestly kudos to Elementary for gender swapping John Watson in what we all thought was an attempt to make johnlock palatable to the masses and then proceeding to not only make them entirely platonic but also become the ONLY modern adaptation where i actually feel like them being platonic makes complete sense

[asinglebluefeline]

You know how the Robins were trained to be able to fight enemies way bigger than them, since they started really young and also were taught by Batman (a Very Big Guy)?

It just occured to me that the reverse is also true: Batman is very good at fighting very short enemies.

I wonder if it ever came up.

Like if someone was trying to use their smaller size to their advantage and surprise Batman but it's just. Impossible. There is no move his little hypercompetent gremlins didn't already try against him.

escapism

dess's escapism

[agoodflyting]

David Tennant pissing off the Prime Minister bc he told government officials to stfu over their anti-trans bigotry and Michael Sheen literally poisoning himself investigating corporations dumping toxic chemicals in underprivileged areas is NOT the energy I expected from 2024 but oh man am I here for it.

farcille isn't "toxic yuri." nothing remotely toxic about them, they both treat each other with a great deal of care and affection and respect. just because marcille is willing to do forbidden necromancy and arguably cannibalism for her wife doesn't make her toxic that's just what you do for a woman with broad shoulders
