The Mantle minigames are one of my favorite parts of chapter 3- the ice maze in particular was so haunting and strange it honestly left me really freaked out and with more questions than answers.

"Why do the Mantle minigames exist?" "Why does it parallel snowgrave?" "What is up with that mirror monster puzzle room?" "Why does Kris flinch at the end when it says, 'YOU were used up' when that seems to very explicitly refer to the SOUL in that case?"

But it did answer one thing: we got to experience firsthand all of Noelle's blog posts from the Spamton Sweepstakes.

On making this I also realized that the door is in the exact shape of Kris’s horns.

In epidemiology, a disease vector is any living agent that carries and transmits an infectious pathogen such as a parasite or microbe, to another living organism.

susie's story (esp in ch4) is so deftly realised. so often you see the "character who thinks little of themself is encouraged to pursue their True Value" storyline unfold in a way that has the character redirected away from "unfitting" desires, like a physically weak character who wants to be physically strong learning to value their personality instead or whatever but susie. susie who is - mechanically, in her stats in the game - best suited to hitting things with an axe, who "doesn't look like she should be playing the piano", is encouraged to pursue a skill she doesn't have because an educator took the time to get to know her and realise what she has genuine passion for. and she's not automatically great at it! she has objectively bad spelling and grammar in her letter to alvin, it's not like she unlocked some secret hidden talent - storytelling and communicating and creative expression in general is something she cares a lot about and genuinely enjoys, but it's something she has to work for. there's a reason why the gerson fight is so long and gruelling. but through this hard work and better understanding of herself we see susie learn how to reject imposed frameworks that occlude her actual personality - she literally shatters the tapestry that tells her the one and only way her story can end, and in doing so prevents Kris from ever having the chance to think of her in that position, whatever it is. it's her story, and she's learning how to tell it.

AND all of this is done without for even a second implying she needs to be even the tiniest bit more feminine than her rough and rude masculine self. hell, from the way she and gerson mirror each other in their loud and abrasive laughs, her unapologetic butchness is presented as a trait that aligns her closer with him and from there with her truest self

ok so lets say we take the chapter 4 prophecy at face value. susie is the girl from the prophecy and something truly terrible is going to happen to her - be it betrayal, injury or god forbid death

can you IMAGINE being ralsei in this situation? you are a being cursed with knowledge of the future. before this girl even steps into the darkworld you KNOW that she is destined to suffer. you watch as this deeply troubled girl grows and learns kindness. you watch as she becomes one of the kindest and bravest people you know. she cares for you, and you care for her. she becomes one of your best friends. she looks after you in her own special way and changes the world around her. and this whole time you know she is destined to suffer greatly. you laugh together, you smile together, and in the end she is going to suffer.

you thought that maybe if you dont say anything you can stay friends until the end, maybe if you dont say anything the prophecy will change, maybe if you dont say anything it will hurt less.

but it doesnt.

and now she knows. she knows. and she should hate you. hate the world. and instead she laughs. she laughs and comforts YOU instead. walks away with hope still crossed on her heart. and she is still doomed and there is nothing you can do because the prophecy remains unchanged. there is no answer, there is no solution. how do you carry this guilt? how do you live, knowing won't be able to? how do you look her in the eyes again and smile knowing that she is your friend and she will suffer for it. what can you do other than smile and try to believe the words she says? that is your only escape. that is the only thing you have left.
