absolutely destroys me that ange spends so much time in the story of umineko being annoyed with featherine and not wanting to engage with her role as a reader, not understanding the love between writer and reader and being frustrated with being asked to participate in that. and then, ultimately, deciding to become a writer herself. to share her heart with the world in whatever way feels right, after everything
especially a children's book author. after everything her life has been, who knows better than ushiromiya ange the ways a story can impact the life of a child? she was denied the story of the single truth, she was told a thousand stories about her family, her world was warped by the stories she was given and the stories that were kept from her. maria's stories - and her interpretations of them - are one of the closest ways she's able to cling to any kind of warm feelings towards her extended family
so of course she writes fantastical adventures for children, full of love and whimsy. the adventures of sakutarou very blatantly honors the legacy of maria and her stories! it's her finally understanding how maria chose happiness and choosing to believe in maria's stories to be the second person that makes them real - and to find thousands of other people to believe in them and give those stories power, too
she spends so much of umineko fighting and fighting against stories, rejecting all magic as useless delusion and pursuing the single truth, and only in the end is she able to realize how ridiculous it is to even believe that absolute truth exists let alone holds inherent power over the stories we tell ourselves and one another about the world
of course she would become a writer. of course of course after hating stories and getting pissed off at featherine and being annoyed at being asked to act as an active reader, the conclusion of her character arc is to make stories herself. in a story about storytelling, about the raw, soul-baring love inherent to writing any story worth reading, of course that's how they show she has finally come to understand what everyone was trying to tell her. UGH

Kindergarteners will be so proud of themselves for being able to draw a triangle. My GPU can draw tens of thousands of those in a second. You are not special.

Me and the dumb bitch I pulled by keeping him trapped in a purgatory-like metanarrative dimension while I make him watch his family die horribly again and again and again

it's always bad for adults to interact with minors, which is why when I was born my mother was positioned at the window and I was birthed down a giant slip n slide that safely transported me to the hospital grounds, where I was quickly accepted and raised by a gang of feral babies who were born under similar circumstances. and that's why my posts are so bad
