Hmm i think i may have possibly settled on an idea for how to rewrite Kin and Gin to be more complex and potentially redeemable.

Gonna focus on The Big Family Love, because these siblibgs caring about each other so much its literally their battle power is already their best and only slightly sympathetic trait

So i was thinking about the whole 'hey here's another third sibling in the third version of the game' thing and had a BIG BRAINWAVE

What if kin and gin want to turn back time to fix a mistake in their past? And all the evil they do with manipulating other people's pasts is something that they regret having to do buy see as a necessary evil in order to achieve their goal.

Their goal? Bronzlow.

Why did he not appear in the original version of the game and wasnt even mentioned? Because he was DEAD.

Kin and Gin's goal in life is to save their baby brother who died when they were children. Maybe his 'funny' clumsiness and struggle to keep up with his sisters was very much not funny in this original timeline. One day the twins were teasing him over something or other, he messed up yet again and got their kite caught in a tree or something. And they were supoosed to be responsible when looking after the lil guy, but on that day they just happened to be a little short tempered with him and made the stupid decision to yell at him to get the kite back even though they knew he wasnt good at climbing. It was just a stupid mistake of some kids who were probably too young to be put in charge of babysitting their brother. He just.. Fell. Everything was over so fast. And it felt like time had forever stopped at that moment.

So they spent their whole lives trying to find a way to bring him back to life, even doing forbidden magic to become yokai and gain the power they needed to bend time. And they grew old and cynical and slowly lost their grip on morality, because the guilt just kept hauntinh them and the closer they got to making their dream come true the more they became tempted to let go of morals and hurt people in the desperation to finally achieve it...

And then this would be a good excuse for me to lets play one of the original versions of the game and then also the third one. And it could be interesting to set it up like this story with my oc is actually left hanging on the first playthrough and only fully completes after the third game. Like its all in the same continuity as if Mallory really did experience both games! Kin and gin's time travel messing up the future could be a good excuse to show all the different versions as alternate universe type things! And have it so that at some point Bronzlow just suddenly appears without explanation and everyone acts like he was always there. Which would lead to the reveal of the whole backstory and like.. Bronzlow is here now and looks like how he would if he'd lived a full long life, because their plan is almost complete. Theyre always sassing him and he's all funny comic relief but really all alpng he mattered more to them than anyone else and theyre so happy to see him again. And getting to see him again has made them so desperate to make it real that they'd even collapse time and space itself just to not have to let go of him again! Like what if some of his 'funny clumsy moments' are actually like.. Signs that he's not completely saved and the paradox is trying to correct itself? Like he doesnt remember that he died but his sisters do, he's just like 'wow i felt kinda dizzy there for a moment, im sorry' and 'huh i seem really forgetful lately' and he doesnt notice himself flickering in and out of existance and just DAMMIT IM GETTING REALLY EMOTIONAL ALREADY

And in the end of course kin and gin would have to face the fact that bronzlow wouldbt want them to bring him back if it meant other people had to get hurt. Thats why they tried to hide the truth from him, they knew he would sacrifice himself to fix the timeline and save everyone. And it could be super depressing with him joining you to fight his sisters even when he knows it'll kill him, and then the last moment of the fight is the time machine thing being broken and then a vision of the siblings as kids standing beneath that same tree, and the twins begging bronzlow to let them just stop time here and stay with him, if they cant save him then they want to die together... But there's no timeline where he'd ever say yes to that...

:(

So umm yeah, the redemption fot these two would be finally accepting their grief instead of running from it, and you hug them and let them know that they have a second chance at a happy life. He never blamed them, they didnt have to destroy their own chance at happiness for his sake. He'd want them to go out and enjoy life, every time theyre smiling he'll be smiling with them...

I dunno i just think itd be a good way to make people care more about an underrated character. Cos from what ive heard about bronzlow he apparantly barely even talks, and really is just 'we added another one in the third version' with no more complexity than that. Kin and Gin already arent very popular so its understandable that their lil bro would be even more ignored, so this is an idea for how to make his low plot role a big plot role yet alsp at the same time get meta with thw low plot role itself being the big emotional tragedy...

Also i dunno if i'd actually find some way to bring him back eventually? Like as a reward for them at the end of their redemptive arc, maybe have them return in yw3 and help the heroes there and then after a loooong long journey they find another non-evil way to bring him back in the postgame. I dunno if itd dampen the emotional arc to bring him back tho? I feel like the importabt part os just that they learn not to hurt other people tp try and save their brother, as long as they actually finally give up and stop their evil plan it could still show the same amount of character growth if he does come back. Like it wouldbt be a moral-ruining 'yeah their evil plan actualky worked' kind of thing, just some different miracle happened, possibly directly caused BY them making the right choice? Like by confiding in others and not doing it all alone they finally manage to find the answer. But maybe have it happen some time after the endibg so the sadness still has enough time to breathe and it feels even happier when it eventually happens.

Also gives me an excuse to play out the credits sequence but with bronzlow vanishing out of that happy pic of them together. (Thanks to my friend who showed me that!)

+ and yhen ny sister sent ne a sc of her watching it and im on twitter alot and so everyone talks about it and i want to watch it so bad but i cant and it nakes me extremely angry i am going to COMBUST,, and then i have 3 Cs in school and i just cant get my graded up because its my first year of hs and my kom made me take all honors classes and an AP class and i cant grt ny work done correctly and have time to do ny sport and i dont understand most of my work i grt and so it makes me feel so +

(rest under cut)

+ bad about myself because i feel syupid because everyone else can do it with the same classes and they actually have friends amd social lives and they all have As and i nust dont understand how they do it and i hate it so much,, and i alwyas feel like im super abnoying becausr im an idiot and i never syop talki g when i get comfy with my friends and im so needy and i absolutely hate myself ,, also my gf is online and she lives about 3hrs away and she really wants to meet up and imm super +

+ stressed bc we havent even skyped yet but we sc every single day an i trusy her compleyely and j ove her so much but i get sorta uncomfy bc i feel like if we meet irl ill start being rlly annoy nf,,, i know she wouldbt mind but it hurts me to think about,,, and my mom yells at me aloy and getd mad when i dont do ny chres becauude im doing hw but then when i gey bad grades she yells at ne and if she gets mad at me then ill yell back and then i cry and then sjjsjdjd idk i just feel horroble +

+ ab almost everything and im so angry and sad and so many other thigs at myself and i dont know how to fix it !! anyways yhank you so much for letting me rant inlove you so much and ive always felt really comfortable talking to yyoj about everything and im so sorry to dump all of this on you like this -💕

hi!! first of all pls don’t apologize for sending me these asks!! i’m v glad that you reached out to me and feel comfortable talking to me -is there any way for your gf to give you the password for her friend’s account? i mean since you’d be watching the same thing it wouldn’t be suspicious and her friend wouldn’t suspect anything. also theres a website called rabb.it  that you can use to watch it w/ your gf possibly!! i haven’t used it but apparently you can stream things and have little chat rooms with whoever you want so maybe your gf can stream netflix on her computer and you both can watch the show together w/ the website!!

-school is super hard and stressful and i totally feel you with this one :/ maybe talk to a guidance counsellor or a teacher or someone that you feel comfortable with and can help you (or your mom if you feel comfortable enough). Ask if there’s any peer tutoring going on at your school (my school had a program where older kids would tutor the younger ones but idk if this is a thing in other schools). I can imagine how hard honour & AP classes are!!! pls don’t feel stupid for not understanding the concept and not getting A’s!! That’s definitely not the case. Sometimes there’s things we won’t be good at or things we won’t ever be able to fully grasp and sometimes things just take a lot of practice and time to be able to understand. If things get really tough pls don’t hesitate to ask someone for help

-i know you said that you know your gf wouldn’t mind, but think of it maybe in a different way! instead of thinking about you talking a lot as being annoying, think about it in a good way! Your gf will definitely find it really cute!!! I always love when my boyfriend starts talking a lot about things he enjoys, his day, random things etc etc. I know from your point of view you think you’ll be annoying, but your gf will think oppositely

-(if you can and feel comfortable and safe enough to do so) when your mom gets mad at you for not doing chores, explain that you’re trying really hard to pull your grades up. Maybe set up a daily schedule with her? Like do chores at a certain designated time period and then do homework at another time period in the day. Talk to her about how you’re struggling understanding some concepts and maybe she’ll want to try to help you out ily too and i hope at least some of this helps!!!! sorry this is all jumbled dgjhfdgdfkj but i really hope everything gets better for you!!!!

Why is it when i need slmeone to talk to the most, nobody is there. Ive been crying for 5 hrs straight nom stop and i just cant stop. I just hurts so bad. I would have 1000x rather have someone cheat or lie to me becuase at least that wouldbt have hurt as bad as this. At least i could have walked away from that. But this....this i cant walk away from. Ive literally been crying myself to sleep these past weeks. I just cant stop. I cry during the day too, literally cannot function straight. I try to hold back the tears as much as i can, but as soon as i wnter my room, they jist start coming out. Theres a knot in my throat and its hard to breathe. Ive just never been hurt like this before. And im trying to stop, but i cant. I dont get why God does this to me.....i have a big heart with so many emotions ...i just wish he would sometimes stop saving me, so at least all this pain could go away sometimes.

Let me tell you something

this is where it all starts, no turning back now. alrighty im going to say all of my problems on here will be about boys but lets say a majority will be  them #noshame i think im an okay looking person ? ive talked to alot of boys like texting, snapchatting, but never actually hanging out with them while “talking” with them. oh “talking” is what people nowadays call “getting to know each other” rather than actually asking the person a date but thatll be another conversation we’ll save for later.��

ANYWAYSSSS, as cliche as this sounds, so theres a boy.

beware you are now entering the inner depths of anonymous footstool’s mind . Soooo this kid has been in my friend group for the past couple of years and we’ve always been good friends, always laughing but never anything more or romantic kind of stuff. recently we started to text alot. at first i was loving it because i was excited to become closer to him , at this time, becoming better friends. buuuut i dont think “better friends” included facetiming all of the time and going to the movies alone were in that category......

at first i was kinda weirded out. like totally bizarred that this was even happening, i had no idea what this meant, like is he interested? does he think im pretty? is this actually happening???? its honestly the weirdest thing, the whole transition from just friends to “talking” to what the fuk are we?? i ask myself this questions alot because right now, a month and half later,i am very confused what we are. are we still considered “talking” , are we dating?, AM I WASTING MY TIME? 

the last question always stays in my mind whenever im talking to a person. my sister says you are never wasting youre time when talking to a person, youre taking the time to get to know the person and see where it takes you, as mcuhh as shes right after ive talked to a person for some time and we eventually stop, i feel that ive wasted my time because we never took the next step into making whatever connectionn we had into something more. but anyways me and this guy have hung out every chance we get and ive loved every second of it. this is the first time a guy has asked me to hang out FIRST rather than me asking the guy amd then them shutting me down so it feels nice. everytime we hang out we watch movies and snuggle, right now its the cute version of netflix and chill bahaha . everytime im in his arms i wouldbt trade that moment for anything. its the nicest feelin g in the world and hes also a very sweet, understanding supportive person. i like that about him alot. hes also foreign (in a way) 

thats enough bacground info because right now youre probably asking yourself, anonymous footstool, whats the problem?

well.......he asked me to hang out with him this past weekend to watch another movie and all this shit and i agreed because ofcourse! im always in for a nice cuddle! but when that day finally came, our scheduled netflix and chill, i found i had no motivation. i didnt want to hang out with him, i didnt want to see him, i didnt want to talk to him. at first i was like you know what i dont care . i was inbetween not wanting to go and just going because i was guilty and felt bad if i just bailed out. i talked to my sister and she gave me excellent advice. she told me right now me and this guy are not dating or in a relationship, we’re just getting to know each toher and if i want to cancel our snuggle fest then its ok because i dont owe him anything, in the end, its all about what i want, what feels right in my heart. i agreed with her that whenever i make a decision im always first, im the star in my own movie. so i then texted him with a heavy heart that i couldnt hang out because my dad wouldnt let me leave the house and he responded with sad faces and “thats a bummer” bahhaha wow 

but right now at 10:32 pm im feeling so fucking guilty, if you could split me in half one half would be selfishness and the other would be empathy. 

i feel good that i didnt leave the house because i reallt did not feel like seeing him but at the same time feel like shit because if i were the one to receive that text i would be so sad and “bummed” out too. i realy dont knowhow to feel but im just scared the next time i see him he’ll be disappointed in me 

just had to get this off my chest , thanks for listening , ill be back with another problem  next time . peace out girlscout ..
