ah yes, the "👀" protagonist

"I can fix them." Mhm, mhm....

"I can make them worse." I see. Mhm.

How about, "I have no power to affect their decision-making one way or the other. I can only watch in rapt fascination and/or abject horror as the consequences of their choices unfold before me. Like staring at a train wreck in slow motion."

Also known as the Moby Dick approach to writing Viewpoint Protagonists.

[unearthlytwilight]

man comes to FEH and brings possibly the worst dungeon in the game with him. he is 0 for 2 on worldhopping

Someone has teleported. Opened a false door? Maybe it's a warp maze? Tatsuya came here, possibly with what was left of the IS world, so maybe it is a Sumaru relic

[unearthlytwilight]

created by rumors you say??? air raid shelter intensifies

It's gone! The odds of it bring a warp door created by rumors have gone up!

Kyon actually understanding anything in this show? clearly something has gone terribly wrong

The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan, Episode 13 - The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan, Part 3

The final chapter in the The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan arc of The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-Chan, which inexplicably neither begins nor ends the series.

I'm pretty sure she means this purely figuratively but also Haruhi powers means there's a non-zero chance that Yuki's identity crisis could cause a world-cramp.

T_T Factory Settings really getting to me in the short time she's been with us.

Factory Settings taking everyone to a book fair and. Like. You can feel the Sword of Damocles hanging over her neck. In context, this is presented as Kyon wanting to do something nice for Yuki and Yuki getting to pick the activity.

But the vibe is very much "If you had one day left to live, how would you want to spend it?"

They're just hanging out and having a good time but the melancholy music and Yuki's general attitude sells the existential terror lurking in her heart. The clock is counting down to when she effectively reboots into the identity that was created for this reality.

Oh, and now we're literally doing "What would you do with your last day?" Okay. @_@

T_T Factory Settings is saying out her goodbyes. She has existed for five minutes. There aren't many people for her to say goodbye to.

The difference between all three of these things is ultimately philosophical. But it's meaningfully philosophical. It speaks to how Yuki is experiencing and interacting with her own sense of self.

At the end of the day, this arc is intensely personal.

T_T STAB MY HEART WITH A RUSTY KNIFE WHY DON'T YOU

T_T She finished the book that she was so enraptured with at the library.

I wasn't even consciously rooting for that but now that it's been brought up I am so happy she was able to finish it. T_T

OH GOOD SHE FINALLY SAID IT MOMENTS BEFORE SHE DIED

GREAT

THANKS

WHY YOU GOTTA BE LIKE THIS WRITERS

WHY YOU ALWAYS GOTTA BE LIKE THIS

Kyon furiously rolling Concentration checks in his head to see if, just once, just one time, he can actually follow the plot that's been put in front of him.

So help me if they do a bereaved love triangle of Escapist Yuki -> Kyon -> Factory Settings (Deceased), I am going to be SO GODDAMN.

I will throw things. At people. They'll be passing under my balcony when suddenly the biggest book I own hits them in the head and I'm just up there shouting 'THAT'S FOR YUKI!!!"

FUCK YOU WITH ALL OF THE KNIVES SHOW

T_T T_T T_T T_T

Hard drive reformat at 100%. System reboot complete. Please log in to Yuki.exe.

It feels so good to have her back and yet ALL OF THE FEELS for the temporary version of her that's now been fully re-subsumed into her persona.

And the truly ironic thing, the thing that is KILLING ME more than anything else? Is this guy.

For once.

For once in multiple goddamn lives.

This man is the only person alive who actually understands the plot of what just happened.

playing persona 2: innocent sin (aka the first one) again after yeeeeears. just cleared Sevens:

- I appreciate that there's not a "whoa, the supernatural is real??" sequence. the Joker Game is well-known and everyone has Personas already. the game just jumps into the action. I love that.

- fuck Eikichi's dad

- I forgot that Personas actually reacted to things in this game. I think they should have kept that as an in-universe boss warning thing.

- hilarious that Hanya's wish was "be popular, also have hair". works even if you haven't played P1

- I like how you fight other asshole Persona users in this game. I think the last time that happened was Takaya & Jin in 3 (also Kasumi/Sophia in P5R/S, but a) brainwashed b) not a real fight)

[unearthlytwilight]

was skimming - saw FF, thought "Final Fantasy" instead of "Future Foundation", and thought "wow, am I really finding out about the Final Fantasy / Fallout crossover through Tumblr?"

then I actually read the post, lol. in my defense the series (XV specifically) has appeared in Assassin's Creed so. stranger things have happened

my pissing-on-the-poor reading comprehension aside, this sounds like a really fun idea! though I'm not sure where the setting would be - Japan as seen through Gritty Fallout Realism seems interesting, but also pretty easy to exoticize and/or mysticize

Fallout-style Danganronpa game taking place during the big global conflict between Ultimate Despair and Future Foundation prior to Junko's death.

Picking through ruins, hanging out with various camps and settlements, picking a side between Future Foundation or Ultimate Despair or various minor factions between.

Various FF and Remnant characters occasionally popping up as cameos. (If you advance far enough in Future Foundation's questline you can unlock the Hacking Megaphone! Super good against Monokuma-type enemies.)

Blood spray is initially pink but it turns red when you aren't looking at it. It's only pink when you're having fun shooty times.

Watterson pulled no punches

[unearthlytwilight]

current WIP of Lowen. made the executive decision to remove the second belt because it looks silly. most linework is done, which is good.

[unearthlytwilight]

somehow unsurprised that The Hot Spring Episode in this show managed to be even grosser about Mikuru than the rest of the show, and that's saying something. I suggest a spinoff where Mikuru gets Haruhi powers and unexists the writers.

it's a shame, because sometimes the show is good, and sometimes it's "well, I guess the writers wrote a Mikuru scene with one hand again". sigh.

The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan, Episode 8 - A Plot by Haruhi Suzumiya

Everything Haruhi does is a plot by Haruhi Suzumiya. Haruhi is an incorrigible plotter. Unless you mean the movie she filmed, which is a different kind of plot by Haruhi Suzumiya.

(Two parts.)

I guess Tsuruya's joining the list of characters volunteering to be Yuki's fallback love interest if Kyon ends up red-stringed. Pretty sure that is a red-crowned crane, specifically? That looks like the red crown on its head.

Nope. Sorry, Tsuruya, but despite being more tolerable in this series, you're still on the shit list.

The hell does that even mean?

Hot springs episode really is going to hot springs episode at maximum velocity, isn't it?

I know this is going to be an opportunity to play with the Yuki/Kyon vs. Haruhi/Kyon triangle but if we're spinning a roulette wheel of shipping nonsense then I want to see some random bullshit instead. Itsuki/Yuki! Mikuru/Ryoko! Kyon/Tsuruya! The Will They/Won't They shipping war can wait until we get home; For now, let's get crazy!

Incidentally, the answer is yes. This is the gratuitous fanservice episode that "The Hot Springs Episode" always implied, and it is played as hard as you would expect the show that gave us Mikuru Asahina to play it. In fact, it even takes time for some incredibly gross Mikuru shit while it's at it.

Admittedly still not as bad as that time they drugged her but still pretty bad. They don't even do the "Tsuruya protects Mikuru and fights off Haruhi" thing they've been doing; Tsuruya and Haruhi team up for maximum grossness. It's like they're trying to make up for lost time.

Apparently "Matchmaking Bath" means voluntary peephole.

Uh. Okay. This episode is weird.

Ha!

Nice time loop callout. Though there is no way they've actually fit that many competitions into the short time Haruhi's been with the Literature Club. Taken literally, she pulled that number straight out of her ass.

XD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Now that we're out of the Den of Male Gaze, the comedy's back. Poor Kyon. We all know it's going to be him. It's always him. It doesn't even need to be rigged.

Absolutely furious that Ryoko and Tsuruya's match wasn't animated. I have so many questions about Tsuruya's Dance of the Crane technique.

Also, Kyon and Mikuru continue to be useless.

When the hell did he injure his wrist? Did he beat Kyon's ass so bad he hurt himself?

Absolutely furious that Tsuruya quit the tournament in its second round, allowing the competition to continue while forever shielding her crane technique from the prying eyes of the camera.

Also, Haruhi, don't think I didn't notice that this is your second bye. You didn't compete in the first round either. You're advancing straight to the finals without ever picking up a paddle. Kyon was right to object to rigged games.

(Is that how Itsuki injured his wrist? Did he fake injury so Haruhi could have a 1v1 with her romantic rival?)

I'm with Kyon. The first round seemed legitimate but that second round was totally rigged by the Kouyouen kids.

NO

NOT MOVING ON

I WANT TO SEE THE FIGHT

What the hell!? How dare you deprive us of the pivotal battle between Yuki and Haruhi!? I AM SO MAD RIGHT NOW AAAAAAAARGH.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No, for real, the comedic timing of Yuki Show is so good. If they ever bring back Melancholy, whether as a continuation or reboot or whatever, I hope they learn from the successes in this spinoff and build on them.

That means she won, right? I think that means she won. I am choosing to believe that means she won. Yuki won. I will accept no argument.

lifis energy

Pretty villain anon. Make a generic bandit recruitable in the same map. Make the most random dude recruitable with enough gold. Make him go "aw shit, better switch sides so I don't get my ass beat" and then hilariously try to fit in with a group of do gooders. Let him intimidate the shit out of enemies into giving them all his stuff. Don't let him reform, let him stay a shit human being, just a shit human being who's in the lords side. Let him take advantage of their kindness. We need more characters that just joined because they don't want to die.

THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MY BEAUTIFUL HUSBAND NELUCCE
