okay any negative thoughts i had about gin no longer revelant. my autistic furry son

[exilley]

i think what makes Your Turn To Die work so well for what it is is because it's not afraid to play both sides in its genre. the very premise of a death game is absurd and difficult to fully shut off that nagging "this makes so little sense" voice of irony in the back of your mind for. it knows to walk that fine line between a scifi horror mystery full of unpredictable twists and heavyhanded emotional development and down to earth plot beats structured around an established set of themes and story arcs. basically, it knows what to play straight and what to turn the dial up for. its character writing is quite a bit uninspired at times, but i think the game has a solid enough identity that its whole is greater than the sum of its parts. i think i'd be remiss not to bring up that it's all developed by one man and available to play completely for free, and in that light, for what it manages to accomplish, it's fairly impressive. pretty good game i'm a bit disappointed it emphasizes the sanctimony and importance of blood family so much <- shin tsukimi and kanna kizuchi sibling reveal made me groan. that was not necessary and doesn't particularly add to the tragedy of either character in any meaningful way

Idk where people are finding Anya intriguing because there are a lot of other women in horror similar to her. She’s just given more personality/characterization than most, but thematically she fell flat to me

i keep thinking about what kim bi says about family in her interview

VC: After meeting her “mother,” Ran comes to realize the importance of “chosen family” and how strong her father has been. What does the word “family” mean to you? KB: Hmm . . . This is probably the most difficult question to answer. For me, family has not been a “shining” thing. Unfortunately, I think my family may have been a mixture of all possible despair, be it ruined people, hurt people, discarded people, or people sacrificed to the violence of the state. My father was injured during the Korean War and was in pain until the day he died. My mother, who bore the brunt of my father’s violence when he drank away his pain, left, leaving behind us three kids. And because of this trauma, my brother became an alcoholic too. My younger sister was probably the greatest casualty: she not only bore all of this despair but also, on top of that, had me, a “transgender” older brother. Of course, I don’t believe that my identity is in any way tied to the ruination of my family life. I believe that we are “born this way,” but it seems that the apriority of being transgender is still the subject of much debate, isn’t it? But is it really important if you are transgender from the moment of birth or not? Isn’t it enough to take responsibility for yourself and your own happiness by changing the way your life might be going for the better? Anyway, “family” always played the role of chaos and more chaos for me. That’s why I don’t know how to write a family that longs for and cares for one another. Since I’m writing works of fiction, I can, of course, write a loving family from my imagination, but if I do, I always feel empty. Since it is something that I was never able to have, I should be able to write what I want, but because my stories are always expressing deeper thoughts, I can’t just write something flippantly. I may already think that that kind of family is unnecessary, which may be why I tend to depict “chosen families” as something far warmer and more comforting. I am also of the belief that humanity needs to broaden its understanding of what family is. We’ve come to an age where we need love for humankind more than familial love, and following this path going forward, rather than limiting “family” to those of the same name or bloodline, I will continue to write stories that center people who are looking out for those closest to them, trying their best for them, and growing.

narratives that reconcile queerness with family resonate with me greatly just by virtue of, my experiences, but i find a lot of it is done as "person finds new people that isn't their blood family and those ties become stronger than the ones with their blood family, who suck ass", which is fine, but it doesn't strike the same chords for me i guess.

in "Tree of Kisses", Ran is an adopted child and her father is a trans woman who took her under their* wing. it reads as the story of living with a queer relative and the hardships tailored to that situation. but central to the story is the fact that Ran is also not someone that society would accept. her mother left the house, her father is trans, and then it turns out she's not related by blood to either of them anyway. at the most she's objectified and dehumanized as something to be pitied: theyre both corrupt existences in a sense. theyre both "queer" in the non-identity sense of the word

and Ran and her dad were also alienated from each other. from Ran's perspective is a certain horror of her expectations of a father figure being an illusion, the foundation of what she loved embodying queerness-- broadly she was afraid of the concept of queerness that she saw in her "dad', and then because her conceptual perception of her "father" is part of herself, the queerness that she recognizes in herself (her adoption, her isolation from her peers, her parents' divorced status, etc)

her arc is about accepting herself as much as it is about accepting her father. she accepts the horror, acknowledges it and chooses to love it. and it is through that choice that enables the gap between her and her father to grow into something that embodies connection. they cease to be a "dad" and start being her family. the person who chose her and who she chooses back.

**The text of the story refers to Ran's parent as her father and uses neutral masculine/neutral pronouns. I use neutral pronouns to respect the writer's intentions in conveying this nuance.

There’s a lot of things about yttd fans i think are worth commenting on but the reading gay tendencies into the characters is pitiable to me. Im not saying u cant headcanon reko as a lesbian or whatever it’s just why would you would hang your gay little hopes on this game which is written after a normative framework of the world. Like come on this is the game where ex-policeman fake-hitting on highschool girl protagonist is a gag. We dont have to make up things for its characters to be engaging . We have sibling tragedy galore

Ranmaru did nothing for me but i did make fun of him for starting to kill for a girl he knew for just a few hours. Sara wanted a gamer moment to happen to her and he decided he needed to get a bit judas from the bible about it
