I love the neurodivergent power of seeing something related to an interest you haven’t touched in a bit and your brain going “oh yeah! *vibrates enough to break the sound barrier*”
Hiii I just wanted to say that I love the game and the story has captivated me. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next. Ever since I played the game I have felt the need to cosplay Ren, feel honoured Ren xD.
Consider him honoured! (and me ADKJASKF I'd honestly cry if someone cosplayed that yandere bastard (endearing) :')'But if you do ever end up making a cosplay, PLEASE tag me!! I would love to see it!)
God I love being able to make parallels in narrative
Also, I got this idea originally back during episode ONE. the fact Etho took the final life in the end? perfection really.
Transcript and bonus below
Skizz: Hey, Etho! Buddy!
Skizz: Look, I know Top said you're not one to do the whole matchy matchy thing with everyone. But I can't stand to just leave you out like that!
Skizz: You’re apart of Ties too, and you should get to show it off!
Etho: I would kill for you Skizz, just say the word
Skizz: NONONO you don't need to do that!!
Etho: Wh, wait no hold on
Skizz: Come on Etho, this is for me.
Skizz: I'm saying the word.

And bonus, the TIes tying ties
So this tweet made a real good point and got me thinking about this scene:
As mentioned in their tweet, "you don't 'beg for mercy' for a job," and here he sounds so scared and desperate, like he's had to do this A LOT before with the directors and it's so... sad.
(more under the cut)
Before he finds out the truth about Eden, he believed they saved him from his former life and gave him new opportunities to continue his dreams, but do you think having to needlessly beg to keep your position as literally being the face of Eden out of fear you'll be replaced and thrown right back out to your old life is a so called dream come true?
Eden even made a trailer for a movie about his life to fame, showing how everyone was rejecting him as a person, which they definitely made it more simplified like I KNOW he was getting way worse treatment than what was shown.
My main point is that despite believing in Eden's motives (before knowing the truth), he still wasn't truly happy deep down. He was STILL getting rejected and slandered by society, and he knew that deep down, so it's not surprising how the possibility of him losing his job made him have a whole breakdown and do the things he did to try and cope.
He quite literally has no one to lean to and hasn't had anyone since showing up to Eden besides the directors (because he probably believed they were treating him fairly and with respect), but... yeah.
He wanted to make a difference, to give hope to hybrids, and he thought he was doing just that. Despite the way the directors and everyone thought of him, despite how alone he felt, he still thought he was achieving his dreams and sharing that onto others
and yet... he was being used this entire time. None of it was true, all the hard work and the things he went through was for nothing.
Everything that Eden has done, and he was the face of it all... it's just devastating.
Okay I can't be the only one who gets so much joy out of him unconsciously doing cat things in the cat suit - like okay I know it's a cat power-up but technically it's just supposed to give him cat reflexes and abilities, not behaviors. When he dodges DK's swing, his cat ears flip down and back, when DK is running at him or moving in an unpredictable way he arches his back, when he was taking in the praise from the crowd he started kneading little biscuits on DK's back. I just love these cute little details they make me so happy
Bonus Tanooki tail wag because it makes me so so happy and I could talk about it for hours and I think more people need to acknowledge it
