people always complain about the Tazmily villagers being massive cunts to Lucas during Mother 3 (understandably so, though i think it’s given the entire town a bad rap that isn’t totally deserved) but honestly i kinda. really like it? there’s just something interesting about how a lot of rpgs like this have your town or whatever town you go to supporting you. it’s a neat subversion to have the town you grow up in turn on you for trying to save them because they don’t know any better.
it’s extremely interesting seeing your town, people who have known you your whole life, fall victim to propaganda and lies to the point that they act in unrecognizable ways, but you choose to help them anyways because it’s in your nature. when the world resets, it gives them a chance to start over. i think that’s the implication of the ending, considering a lot of Mother 3 is about letting go and forgiving. i think the villagers needed to be shitty to help drive home that theme (though a lot of them remained relatively kind, i’d say about 50/50 either way).
it also does a lot to say that cruelty can come from anywhere. you don’t have to be a bad person to do bad things like that, but also that it isn’t necessarily a permanent thing, or that there’s more to people than just the bad things they’ve done. i feel like Mother 3 ends with the idea that the world is given another chance, and that’s huge. even if the world was cruel, it still deserved kindness back in hopes of a better future. the Tazmily villagers are still just people, after all.
Itoi gave the villagers a lot of depth to show how multi-faceted people can be, both kind and cruel, good and bad, and leaves the ending up in the air for people to decide what everyone will choose to do once the world begins anew. one can only hope that they would do better.

tumblr user baflegacy pls tell me more abt regina and brenda
well don't mind if i do 🤙🤙
don't like each other at first. not in a most hated rival way but just because they're on different social hierarchies and have different perceptions of each other
chosen/regina BFFs my beloved <3 idc I'm bringing my shaymanda agenda in my niche au too!
brenda/final girl Definitely felt the inklings of a crush when regina-as-edwin flirted with her
regina o'brien secret paramore & evanesence enjoyer. she'll keep that secret till her dying breath
brenda/regina reluctant roommates-to-lovers <3
regina journalism or law major and brenda music or literature major my beloved
they're all still slayers/demon hunters in college too. all of them (except chosen) definitely mellow out by the time theyre in college

okay kinda in love with the brenda/grace ship, is it technically smashing two characters who havent really had screentime together? sure, but in my heart its a thing that happens in some timelines.
Idk i think its extra fun as almost a parallel to Max and Grace, Brenda seems to kinda occupy a similar role as Max in the hierarchy. Like one of the most popular girls, very prominent cheerleader. Tbh if Kyle were allowed to date her, they'd be a power couple there could possibly usurp Max just by default.
So the idea of this super cool girl also being into Grace is honestly a lot of fun, and there's a lot of ways you could take it. Brenda being spiteful due to the dating-ban and knowing Max has a thing for Grace (he's not discreet about it). We could get to play around with Grace's ultra-puritan christian upbringing as well.
Regardless, I think the coolest kids having a crush on Grace is always going to be fun, but I especially like the idea of Brenda being the one. (I saw one that also played on the fact Brenda wears Max's letterman jacket in Workin' Boys)
Yes!!! I love this, you understand them like nobody else <3
