Hope You're Happy Lemon was crazy good this week

She took the fucking catgirl pussy in the divorce

one thing i like about the movie Spring Break is that it handles multiple people being in the loop quite well— people can join and leave the loop (with great difficulty). we don't know how long the male lead was in the time loop before the female lead stumbled into it

the time loop is a very specific instance that they're in, and if someone leaves, they go about the day like they would have if it wasn't a time loop. it's essentially it's own little reality

Ooooooh, that's a fun take.

Was talking about this with @loopingpyre but one reason time looper stories often don't go for a second looper is because the suspension of disbelief becomes much harder.

Like if one person's loopin' we're dealing with a single character's experience of non-linear time so you don't need to explain the hows and whys of it all, but if two people are loopin' in parallel it's like okay wait how's time work though?

Are they experiencing different orders? If they experience the same loops in the same order why's there a linearity to being out of time? The latter lends itself well to "yeah there's a global thing triggering the loop and they both keep their memories", but dipping your toes into the former style is how you get Primer, infamously the most confusing time travel movie possible.

It opens up a lot of interesting space to explore but is also correspondingly more complicated to plan and write for. But anyway "yeah someone else also remembers the loops" is the premise for Never7's first heroine in the recommended route order.

It's kinda bold to just go there immediately.

Never7 is genuinely a must-play for time loop enjoyers so far. It's already hitting a lot of concepts that come up surprisingly rarely in time loop media and it's only the first route.

The Infinity Series being written chronologically out of order (Never7 being set in 2019 because they hadn't settled on "ooh Ever17 takes place in 2017" choices yet) leads to the really funny instance of a global pandemic happening while the N7 cast take a school holiday trip to a touristy small island town.

This used to feel like an insane case of skewed priorities but now in the 2020s we can safely say that those guys would be ignoring the global pandemic to go on holiday.

Higurashi is a comedy

Ah see no that line actually implies he's her third at minimum.

Irving G having hallucinations of black paint is exactly like Mark S seeing elements being replaced by pill bottles. Reghabi told Mark that his Innie might remember more before he does - Irving is the opposite, his Outie remembers certain things but it hasn't leaked to his Innie yet.

Outie Irving paints the same hallway over and over and over to try and leak it over to his Innie - ironically Irving G only saw it due to the Overtime Contingency - but it totally fits; He finds out he got fired and sadly packs away all his paintings, no point in trying that trick anymore.

In fact, Irving gets fired and immediately uses a public payphone to call someone and tell them, before being interrupted by Burt. Wanna bet he was going to ask something like "I've been fired - I'd like to go further with the treatment to try and remember everything"?

There's also an exchange between Mark and Reghabi where he questions her wording: "Usually? You've only done this once before", and she doesn't actually respond to this point! She moves on.

Outie Irving knowing certain things but the show not making it explicit for several episodes is basically just like following Mark S for an episode before revealing Reintegration isn't totally instant, or leaving the Helena Helly switch only deliciously implied for a while.

It's something the show's willing to do to the audience.

Every week I have less and less confidence in Reghabi. Mate you're doing brain surgery in a non-sterile household basement and you're not even in scrubs.

I don't care if you're not cutting bits out those internal tissues were WAY too exposed for safety.

Caligula Effect Magical Girls?

If Kiriko's Blue and Niko's an Ersatz Pink, what are the others? The others from CE1, even?

hmmm... Thorn is some kind of dark precure, certainly

Sasara... to continue the Heartcatch allusion, i'm gonna say that, much like Flower, she'd be a pink. Sweet-P would also definitely be a pink, just based on aesthetics. can't imagine her as anything else. Suzuna could also make for a good pink

i think Mirei would be a yellow, in the vein of other idol/model cures like Lemonade or Twink. that's also where, and why, i'd put Ayana

Ryouta would be a blue. Marie (both) would also be, unless they're a purple

Pandora would be present but never actually become a Precure; instead, she would be a reoccurring victim of the week. this is also where i'm going to put Mifue (can't think of anything for her)

This was such an insane hard-read. Terminal MegaTen series brainrot.

Most interesting thing in SMT5 Vengeance so far is that new character Yuko is weak to Light-element when she joins you as a guest character.

For a human character in the Megami Tensei games, that is an odd choice! Makes one suspect she's got something different going on...

[aokozaki]

Pandora and Mifue would both be so good at bringing misfortune upon themselves. A week after getting caught up in the limited edition flavor gelato monster, there's this new trendy bracelet that everyone's gotta have, and...

It feels like Sasara would be having B-plots as an old school "magical witch with a zany spell of the week" causing and resolving problems for herself...

Give Amabuki Blue, and Mizuguchi can be more of a dark magical girl purple, maybe.

It's so funny how the game store used to sell games the music store used to sell music and hot topic used to sell goffic accessories but now they all stock the same anime backpacks and novelty fnaf soap of whatever
