Oh my sweet baby boy, I will miss you so so much 🩷 sleep well, thank you for being the best friend to me for 18 years. I didn’t think it would be possible to feel so much pain for losing you but relief that you are at peace now.
I know this isn’t usually what I post on here, but if you followed my old account or are mutuals w me and we’ve talked for any length of time I’ve most probably mentioned Garfield, my gorgeous, kind, loving and greedy cat. He’s got a long sleep ahead of him now, a long, comfy sleep.
marcellus williams would never have died if he was a white man. this was a state sanctioned murder. the supreme court justices who voted to allow his execution to happen are evil. the governor of missouri is evil. everyone that has allowed this to happen is evil. a man lost his life tonight for the crime of being a black man in america.
I think the reason why I like ending D the most, is because it feels the best and most realistic. I took a more nihilistic slant to the game about halfway through. Humanity died in the 2000s and was forced to finally accept death in the 3000s. Aliens arrived, and they died out too. 8000 years passed, Jesus poor Emil, and we get our game start. YoRHa was doomed from the jump. The machines were fucked as well. 2b and 9s aren’t healthy. I was more neutral because I’m instinctively against main guy/main girl, but learning that she killed him 40+ times and he kinda remembers it…concerning.
Ending D is a new beginning of sorts. It’s not a “happy” ending. A2 dies, 2b stays dead (I applaud the devs for killing a main character and keeping her dead), 9s gets stabbed because he is literally batshit crazy. 2b I can understand because she’s known him for years. 9s goes fucking ballistic and on a suicidal genocide run. I picked “I’ll go” because I hoped he would give up on this foolish death errand and move on. 2b wouldn’t want him to just die. I think it also ties in with how 9s, much to his chagrin, empathizes with the machines. He’s been in their network. The towers recognize him. One just gives him gifts.
Ending E feels too happy. Pascal lost everything and is either dead or amnesiac. The androids we loved are killed by us. The machines we loved were corrupted and the children killed themselves. Papola and Devola are dead to atone for something they didn’t do. Humanity is dead. The androids and machines will be dead. There is nothing we can do in the face of endless time. I like E but I don’t like that 2b came back…or where the other pods came from (where the fuck were you earlier). I don’t hate 2b, I do think some crucial pieces of characterization aren’t in the game and should be, but consequences. Killing off a main character is ballsy and it wasn’t poorly done.
This is all subjective, obviously. 9s is my favorite and after is everyone else then 2b. Stop putting relevant characterization in tie-in materials. There’s a beautiful tragedy in D. What’s 9s going to do when 2b inevitably dies again? “I’ll stay” doesn’t speak of realization, but the tragedy of never moving past things.
I’m actually crying over this. I was so sure that we’d get a third season (the last one, might I add). It’s been doing so well, we even got fucking merge and everything. But it’s not fucking enough is it?
I am actually crying over this. Our Flag Means Death pulled me out of a really bad time and helped me get my creativity and my enjoyment for life back. It was my guiding light, my lighthouse and I know it was that for so many other people as well. And to see it ripped away like that, prematurely hurts really fucking bad.
I went to the theater for night 1 of the Metallica Arlington show and the fucking theater was having technical difficulties and couldn’t get the projector working properly 😭 we were waiting there for like 30 min with a blank screen. Then it came back on but was glitching like crazy and shut off again. I was fuming coming out of the theater...didn’t even get to see the concert 😩 then to top it off they didn’t refund us properly, they just gave us free tickets. Like no bitch I want my money back I don’t want more of your damn tickets. I’m so livid, imma try to see night 2 on Monday tho (different cinema obv)
