Desperado is still my favourite event

[supernovaae]

Everyone’s standing around the broken coffee maker Hyde: So. Who broke it? I'm not mad, I just want to know. Everyone: Uday: …I did. I broke it. Hyde: No, you didn't. Tang Yun? Tang Yun: Don't look at me, look at Xie Yuzhi. Xie Yuzhi: What?! I didn't break it this time! Tang Yun: Huh, that's weird. How'd you even know it was broken? Xie Chuyi: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's clearly broken. Jacob: Suspicious… Xie Yuzhi: No, it's not! Jin Yuyao: If it matters, most likely not, but Cecilia was the last one to use it. Cecilia: Lies. I don't even drink coffee. Bonnie: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier? Cecilia: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that, Bonnie. Uday: Okay, let's not fight. I broke it. Let me pay for it, Hyde. Hyde: No. Who broke it? Everyone: Kara, obviously instigating: Hey, Hyde… Freddy’s been awfully quiet. Freddy: OH REALLY?! Everyone starts arguing Jiang Jiuli, being interviewed: I broke it. I burned my hand so I threw it. Nicole, also in the room: I predict 10 minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick. Long Mian, poking his head through the door: Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

i don't like her character much but she's made of funky shapes

[reshramlove1ob]

My sister reacts to Dislyte characters. Oh yeah, remember she’s very young still. Child she is

Bai Liuli: she sorta likes her, but she doesn’t like her hairstyle.

Yun Chuan: She sorta likes him, but she thinks he looks like Ryder from Paw Patrol.

Nicole: She reminds her of golden cheese cookie, unaware if that’s good or bad

Liam: Absolutely adored him. Called him awesome.

Catherine: She likes her, but she wants to know why she’s “so sad.”

Kara: She likes her, for her scorpion hair and her sharp teeth.

Anesidora: She also likes her, but was giggling about her being bald.

Farrah: She wouldn’t elaborate further than ocean.

Elif: she likes her, but thought she had two faces.

Bardon: She wants him and Farrah to kiss?? For some reason?? Ok. Whatever.

Embla: She said she was eh. She was confused by her flowers on her body.

Leora: Called her weird and told me to go back to someone she liked.

Also, if anyone is curious, her downright favorite is Tang Yun because he is the six eared macaque. She stared at him for like ten minutes after we finished this.

Finally, it's finished!

I know it's just me overthinking things too much, but I have a lot to say about dislyte (which i'm already talking recently but hey).

One thing that I like is the monster dilemna, which basically is what do you define a monster.

One thing I DON'T like is they just use it on surface level. like "someone who does evil things with their powers is a monster"- no shit ??? why aren't developing your argument ?

I'm genuily mad about this because monster dilemna is a subject I've been getting really invested into.

Am I going to make an essay about it and give you examples ? Totally.

First, let's define what monsters is outside of Dislyte context. Because "monster" isn't defined by just one definition.

The most common concept nowadays of a monster is fantastical creatures.

Which is an even broader term within an already broad concept. What do you define "fantastical creature" ? Because they're can be elves, fairies, unicorns, merfolk, dragons as well as vampires, werecreatures, mummies, ghosts, zombies and many more that can apply to that definition. Do you draw the line between living creatures and undead creatures ? Is a creature more humanoid is less monster than another creature is ? If so, do you put the culturally bad humanoid creatures in the same basket ?

That alone can be an interesting theme to explore. (In Dislyte case, I think it is lightly shown. Miramons are already considered monsters, but there's also signs of Esper discrimination, notably physically transformed Espers. Although this last aspect is barely explored.)

Another commonly accepted concept is about morality. Even a human can be considered a monster if his actions are atrocious and dehumanising.

I think you get the idea already. Humans are capable of doing horrible things because they just can.

One thing I'm interested to explore is if the "Monster" title fits the character entirely, is it all black & white or is it more complicated and the character is around a more gray area ? Is it due to circumstance outside of their control or was it by choice ? Were they influenced ?

More importantly, can they get their "humanity" back even after becoming a "monster" ? Or are they irredeemable ?

(in Dislyte case, you have multiple characters that could be considered "monsters" by their actions : Anesidora, Kara, Long Mian, Yalina, Bi Tao, Yamato, etc. I find it great we actually have morally gray playable characters, but it's a gacha game and stories event are here to introduce a new character, not essentially develop or explore them. The only times there was a seemingly development in mutiple parts events, which I love, and the main story which is done as of now and there is no sign of an upcoming main story.)

(Plus, the essential essence of a gacha game is to release as many characters they can, the only exceptions I saw were in Cookie Run : Kingdom, where along the character events and multiple modes with their own story, the main story always has new episodes, and in Twisted Wonderland where the Gacha was limited to skins of characters but the amount of character remained the same to better focus on the story.)

Another type of monsters is the outcast.

Here it's intimitely related to social commentary. The outcast can be many thing, a literal monster that can be used as a metaphor for an outcast or even a human that is treated like one. The pretext may vary : physically/mental disability or disorder, LGBT+, gender, religion, ethnicity, status, family or even just something that happened to them like gRape. The point is they are considered a "monster" by society cause they don't align with the norm or represent a disruption.

If you want an example, Dracula by Bram Stoker was written as a metaphor for immigrants, shown in a negative light (in context it was written during the Victorian era.) Today, we tend to show the outcasted monster in a more positive/sympathetic light (prime example being a Monster in Paris, but I bet there's more.)

What I would find interesting to do is for the main character to be the outcasted monster and they struggle against this society who rejected them. Do they live in the shadow or are they trying to fight the system ? Do they run away ? How deep does it affect them ?

(As for Dislyte, there is not much ? I think there is Liam but I didn't do Valeria story event to know. Aside from characters, Tangton is a perfect context but it is mostly ignored for plot convenience ? Why would you create a region that actively discriminate Espers but never show this hate ? Chunhui Academy was a ghetto for Tangtonian Espers, that's the most we saw from that discriminitory society. And sorry, for the ghetto it was, it didn't felt like one.)

Next one : monsters are a reflection of humans and their dark side

This one is pretty vague but pretty self explanatory. The monster here represent a concept, a vice or even a primal fear, like we tend to associate vampires with lust, dragons with greed or werewolves with cannibalism etc. In that regard, it is similar to the outcast monster where it is a commentary, not necessarily about society but about humanity as a whole.

One modern example from the slasher It Follows.

And like the outcast monster, it would be interesting to see the main character confronting the monster or being the monster, especially if there is internal growth for that main character.

(unfortunately, Dislyte doesn't correspond to that category. but I wouldn't say no if they try.)

Last one that comes to mind is monster = mob.

I mean. RPG.

Recently there's this "monster mobs are actually humans" trend going in video games which in most instances, it falls flat because they don't really do anything with it, it's just a stupid plot twist to gaslight the player into feeling bad but still not giving them any other choice but to fight them. I'M LOOKING AT YOU GENSHIN.

The only time it worked it was Undertale because 1 monsters were just people not humans, and 2 you had a choice and so it was your responsibility.

(and dislyte is a video game so.)

(If you want to make a twist about mob monsters, think about how it will impact the worldbuilding and the story. examples i gave about dislyte MC )

Okay, that's nice to know all that, but concretly, what can it changes to how Dislyte handles the monster dilemna ? I'm sure the devs won't see the post anyway but it's still interesting to talk about it.

If you want to talk about the monster dilemna, don't make it "monster = bad" just because. If you're going to implement this in your story, make your characters question it, wether they consider other monsters or themselves, are mobs monsters to them ? Humans ? What do they consider "monsters" ?

BASICALLY CREATE A RELATIONSHIP DYNAMIC BETWEEN CHARACTERS AND THE MONSTER. I CAN DO ONE RIGHT NOW !

What do you think is a monster ?

Li Ling : A miramon.

Tang Xuan : An immoral person.

Yamato : Humans are monsters.

Yuuhime : Konkuzan. Yamato eventually.

Long Mian : A creature I envy.

Anesidora : Cute creatures.

Chu Yao : A vermin.

MC : I'm not sure, I think I am half monster ?

Samsa (OC) : Someone that society despises.

See ! That was easy !

I'm sure I talked about everything I wanted but I might miss some points. In any case, you are welcomed to provide your own opinion about it !
