Oh hey the person who wrote the novella is a friend of mine, wild to see them come up here of all places, but with how much of a history buff they are it makes sense! What was your favorite part of the novella?

Hah, small world! He did exceptional job, you could definitely tell he wasn't taking the historical setting lightly, the amount of research he conducted must've been immense. The text was peppered with historical references throughout, I had good time trying to recognize all of them and seeing if they had a deeper meaning in the context of the story.

Every chapter had parts that I absolutely loved. I kept coming actoss small and seemingly insignificant character beats, gestures and mannerisms that made me go "oh my god, that's so him, that's exactly what he would do", those were truly delightful, they really brought the characters to life, in my opinion.

I also started replaying Final Fantasy 7 the other day (not the remake, since I don’t have it, but the version on the Switch), and honestly, I have to praise the animation

Like yeah, the overworld 3D models are SUPER rudimentary and not very good, but the models have so many animations and things that they do, you can tell the characters’ personalities just by the animations and models themselves. They’re so expressive, even if their faces themselves don’t ever change

I don’t know if this explains what I mean, but like, I was shocked when the characters did a whole backflip. And it’s not like, a frequently repeated animation, they just did that when they got off the train

Also, the game’s camera isn’t centered on you, rather having more of a fixed angle that goes in various directions. Sure, it can be a hassle sometimes, but it lets you see more than one angle on the characters

I don’t know, I don’t feel like you see that much anymore. Maybe it’s just because I don’t play too many 3D games (or modern ones for that matter), but I don’t think I see games with this level of expression in their characters’ animations

tams azula is sooo fascinating bc while canon azula doesn't really show her age at all like she's completely desensitised to so much shit 'she is fourteen' is not a justification for ANYTHING both in her own mind and in other people's, in tams she has zuko. and yes the world has been abundantly cruel to her but zuko hasn't. he's basically raised azula and he's done so in a way that she's allowed to show her age, but she still only shows her age in very azula-esque ways. there's no reluctance to see violence like you'd expect from a fourteen-year-old, and like ive said before, that means zuko can't play on that reluctance in order to shield her, but he still wants to shield her from that violence because regardless of what SHE feels about it, as the eldest he knows fundamentally that she shouldn't be seeing certain things no matter how well she can handle them. and seeing zuko effectively PLAY azula in order to protect her is so interesting and complicated and fun

i think chuuya 'killing' dazai in 109 has been a long time coming. whats the point of making him say "IM REALLY GONNA KILL YOU DAZAI" during every one on his appearances if not to build up to this dramatic ass chapter. But also, the first time he's not in control of himself is the first time that promise held any weight

[purrfectlycontent]

[bsd chapter 105.5 spoilers!]

dazai and sigma having a bonding moment was not something i expected from this chapter, but it’s not entirely unwelcome

i am. inconsolable. HE LOOKS SO GOOFY

Guys was there a time in p3r where Kenji texts you and is like “hey cutie~ ❤️❤️” and uses a bunch of heart emojis or did I hallucinate that in a tired stupor

I'm so fucking tired of getting the same "Lila is manipulating Chloé" comment whenever I post something about the two of them. Because if there is one thing I know is that Lila is NOT manipulating Chloé. She IS using her for her own benefits but that's NOT manipulation. Lila doesn't lie to Chloé nor is hiding what she wants from her or who she is - she didn't tell her EVERYTHING about herself but she showed her her personality and told her her motive which is more than what she does with any other "friend". Lila doesn't force Chloé nor make her do stuff without her consent nor her awareness - she actually asks her if she wants to do this and that before she pulls her in - and Chloé is choosing to follow her cuz they have the same interests. This is NOT manipulating.
