Out of everything that has happened in this game so far, having the main character roleplay as an in universe fictional anime girl in bed is probably the first thing that's actually made me feel violently ill

Made some Slow Damage memes out of jokes I'd made in my liveblogging of the game

My heart still aches thinkin of the beginning of madarame route where he gets kidnapped. He's so desperate to get out. He doesn t want this, he's panicking more than i ve seen him panic this entire game, but the worst part is how easily he slipped.

What i mean by that is that towa was, very slowly but surely, getting better. The whole game is about him walking the line between starting to truly recover and falling back into the abyss with no way out. And the scenes with towa tryin to escape from madarame, before finally giving up and settling into his beloved self destruction? It's him subconsciously not wanting to go back to being worse.

But he slips so easily, through no fault of his own. It's easier to suffer, to convince yourself you love suffering, to find genuine comfort in your misery, than to fight every day for a better life.

Takus route was truly underwhelming to me but this part specifically was very fun for all the wrong reasons

(OC by me)

love how the end of fujieda route theyre like "it turns out he is not perfect.. he cant cook for shit. actually he is very terrible at cooking" as if thats not a bonus. As if a rich lawyer service top who sweeps into your life to help you see for yourself the value of living and somehow is also dogshit terrible at one specific thing is not what the girls want

WAIT, IS 'TOWA' NOT A REAL NAME??

[jamesfalt]

[ryusaidate]

something something body language.... the 'woman i didn't recognize' lines are sooooooo important

[michi-chelle]

in the span of a few hours rei won a moneymatch, won a deathmatch, had a fistfight with towa, had two emotionally heavy conversations, had like two mental breakdowns, and to top it all off lost his virginity? boy’s a fuckin machine lmaoooo

I posted these analyses on twitter before and am putting them back here for my own records! Slow Damage art and flower meanings… Credits to oomf bogparasite for helping me identify the flowers in Towa’s White Day art, and credits to a random JP slow damage fan for tweeting about the kochia meaning and making me jisho the fuck out of what they said

Madarame gets his shit kicked by some guy in america while they re doin the whole fight world tour and dies a hordible painful death n towa lives a better life . That s canon. To me
