Ever just feel like the rot in your soul is spreading? But the hyphae are too narrow, too delicate to be extricated. Attempting to remove the mycelium would damage the healthy self irreparably. So all you can do is cut the mushrooms when they emerge and wait to be digested from the inside out until the rot claims you and you become one with decay

TTYD remake Rambling -- Stuff up until the end of Chapter 2 talked about here

The TTYD remake has so much attention to detail put into it it's crazy… Like, there's the big things to improve the general experience for both newcomers and returning players; the Partner Ring and the new pipe system are much more convenient so far. And the battle tutor toad is great for practicing those tricky Stylish Moves with alot more precision than just going off Eddy's well meaning but ultimately still vague advice, considering some of these timing windows are crazy fast. Or the new partner hint system! I never really got stuck in these games, but I know that it's just a much better mechanic than going allllll the way back to have your future path read if it's something you need. Plus, I love any new dialogue for my little friends, even if they're ordering me about haha.

The layout for everything is so slick now too! And I love the fact you can unlock art and music in the menu by collecting Shine Sprites and Star Pieces -- while already useful in-game, it's just extra incentive to get them. Especially star pieces -- I really wanted to collect them in all these different areas and see the art! And it was sooooo worth it. Concept art for not only the remake, but for the original too. Stuff I've never seen before! Makes me wonder if they got it released just for this remake, yaknow? Just really cool to look through.

I love all the little things too. The new animations of course are obvious, I adore those -- they really add to the personality of the characters. But I also love stuff like how everything in the environment reacts to you, how instead of shaking bushes you crush them, being able to whack literally everyone over the head brings Such Joy …

I think Zess T uses unique cooking utensils for each recipe, which I don't believe was in the original? I think that's so cool ! Like this attention to detail is what I'm talking about. This was a completely frivolous change, but they did it anyways -- and that to me, shows the care put into this.

(Unrelated, but the animation of Mario getting trapped in the bubble in the Boggly Tree is sooooo silly… Pretty sure that was in the original but still. I enjoy Flurrie's personality too -- I never really appreciated it as a kid because I wasn't a fan of her design so I never used her. It's still definitely not my favorite haha, but I could appreciate her more now.)

Also the way they changed the dialogue about the Shadows -- I didn't want to just believe wholeheartedly that they would change the translation, but they actually did here! They didn't do a direct translation of the original Japanese version from my understanding -- opting for Beldam's transphobia to be in how she disregards the sister label but gives a very flimsy excuse for it, when it's obviously out of cruelty -- instead of outright misgendering. But Vivian saying that she just likes it when she's called their sister made me so sad… Vivian you deserve better!!! Another great thing about the new changes: you can whack Beldam over the head all you want in the overworld!

I still can't believe we're in a world where a remake with such care put into it exists for a game I thought would never be ported, let alone treated with such love. And even changing the English Translation regarding Vivian's character? I never in a hundred lifetimes would believe that would happen! It's honestly quite surreal for me.

This feels like such a love letter to the fans of this game, like an early birthday present delivered right to my door. It's honestly hard to describe how much fun I'm having with it and everything I enjoy about it -- I just wanna keep playing, haha. Chapter 3 is when I remember getting really invested in this game as a kid, for various reasons -- so we'll see if I come back for another Ramble then.

Bonus: the scene that my mom kept calling “Flurrie knocking over Mario with her boobs” And wouldn’t stop laughing about

I think I woke up during the night or something and definitely remembered having a dream about one of my previous crushes like fr he's the most prominent one probably because it took the longest and I was going back to him like three or four times through years it would have probably continued if we didn't lose contact completely I only talked to him once after I got a boyfriend me and my friends wanted to introduce them to eachother and like they kinda vibed it was nice I kinda want that contact back we should talk more totally not going back with my thoughts on him I swear just wouldn't it be funny wouldn't it if I had that friendship back haha I've been thinking about this guy on and off for what like five years and remember staying up until 3am because he stayed and we didn't really talk I was just sitting there I needed to be in his vicinity and still think about him daily bro that's unfair towards my boyfriend but not really because it's not like I want a romantic relationship with the other guy anymore i was always able to stop thinking about the previous crush when I got a new one am I not obsessed enough with my boyfriend you know what he should hurt me more like if he did the obsession would probably strengthen it always worked like this love is supposed to be painful after all how am i supposed to know if i love him if I don't feel the fear of losing him every week and the pain associated with it

I feel like Lonner is related to Fozzer in a Scooby-Doo Scrappy-Doo way like Lonner is the tiny goofy relative of Fozzer who like Scooby-Doo is startled by ghost and Lonner would follow him around

tbh I can't stop thinking about how i went into Hadestown being like "this is a tragic love story based on a greek myth I enjoy :)" and I came out the other side covered in blood being like "this is a thesis about how capitalism inevitably leads to both personal and global ruin, and so we are duty bound to resist it even as we lose, again and again and again. no matter how impossible it feels or how many times we fail and hit a wall and fall, we try again"

[deep-space-lines]

okay but like. I just had the weirdest thought about that ‘don’t look I’m naked’ comic. Which is that that’s essentially the same thing Adam and Eve did after they ate the fruit of knowledge of good&evil. So I feel like the theological implications of that could kneecap Gabe if he doesn’t think V1 is a being with free will.

yeah ok. i dunno man. is this anything

((side note. this isn’t necessarily meant to be in-character or story-accurate or take place at any particular point in time, just a way to explore some Thoughts. i was also imagining more that V1’s words aren't actually spoken, more like Gabriel’s more articulate interpretation of whatever garbled mechanical noise V1 is using to communicate. I think an angel could do that.))

and then they fucked nasty the end

the whole "jason rules crime alley and none of the other bats are allowed there!!1!" thing is so funny like. tim LITERALLY lives in the theater where bruce's parents died,

[radiant--as-the--sun]

do people really just wanna be fans of the hunger games and not mention palestine at all? like honestly? do you really wanna just support fictional uprisings and fighting back against fictional oppression but don't actually give a shit about it in real life? did y'all genuinely learn and internalize nothing from this series????

Idk if this is a controversial opinion in the MP100 fandom or not, but I really hate the idea that once Mob grows up and gets out into the world he leaves Reigen behind, or that he leaves Reigen’s life. Is that coming from an emotional standpoint? Yeah, absolutely. I’d be devastated if that’s how they ended up.

But also, realistically, I think that for as much as we see Mob growing up and getting friends, Reigen and he have a truly special relationship. Reigen’s like his weird uncle, who gives fantastic advice while simultaneously doing something completely stupid. People need other people, right? And just as much as Reigen needs Mob, Mob needs Reigen.

Also I love their dynamic and I want them to be weird together (PLATONICALLY!!) forever.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk :)
