Loop’s dialogue has so many facets and potential interpretations…when they are talking about or to Siffrin, exactly how much of it is a direct reflection of how they view themself, either now or in the past?

how much of it is it a deliberate projection—things they wish they had been kinder to themself about and make an effort to verbalize now that they have this external perspective, or things they still hate themself for and can’t help but deride when it’s thrown in their face by this copy—and how much is subconscious, an instinctual reaction to seeing their own traits in “another”?

and conversely, how much of what they say is an attempt to draw a hard line in the sand between them, this is you and this is me, the success story and the discarded failure? coming from the same origin point but diverging beyond reconciliation, the differences cementing their stations as the favored and the forgotten?

they were they same but they aren’t anymore but they are still but they’re different now but they are and aren’t and are and aren’t—

how often do they feel like they’re talking to a mirror, a glassy, empty reflection of their own flaws and mistakes, rather than a whole and complete person who shares their love and pain? how much does the line between those perceptions blur and shift from moment to moment, how much do they let themself be aware of it, how much do they agonize over it?

they’re just. such a mess of contradictions and complications. i need to lie down.

i think it’s time to share my zakuro thoughts…before you read HERE IS A DISCLAIMER!

⚠️These are interpretations/hcs! not the actual canon, do not take what i say as truth!! i am playing with my toys i like having fun.

with that said i don’t expect anyone to agree with me!! we all have different ideas for our favorite characters and that’s what makes the world go round. i hope u enjoy the read and maybe understand what i’m going for!

what really intrigued me is that every numa has some sort of personal problem with themselves or each other, and if they aren’t outright shown there’s certainly something you can dig for. i’ve noticed zakuro is a bit underrated when it comes to this. i’m here to prove to you that she can be as complex as every other character if you look in the right angle. hold my hand, let’s create meaning out of nothing!

i assume zakuro’s clones are canonically hinted as a hive-mind. i personally like to interpret it the opposite! zakuro’s clones are direct copies of her, yes, but they are capable of having their own thoughts and memories. so every zakuro are unique internally. no zakuro will have the same interaction or react the same way as the other, but that doesn't make her any less zakuro! it is simply the many versions of her emotions and personality shining through. like how one talks to themselves in their mind, i imagine zakuro and her clones are the personified equivalent of that. it’s the simplest way i can explain it! i feel with this interpretation, it has room to make her a more emotionally compelling character! without completely erasing her canon-self. a lot of internal and external problems can come out of this immortality of hers that she has been gifted.

let’s agree she had this ability all her life, as time goes on perhaps it has the potential to evolve. this could be a pro and a con! sure she can have more stable control, her clones becoming more sentient and soon direct copies of her. but it evolving is also something that’s out of her control, her body changes! looking more monster-like compared to her peers. almost like her body is returning to it's “roots.” mimicking what's around her. they are not human after all… they are monsters. internally, she could feel more alienated from her friends.

did she ever felt like she's littering the world with her copies? so many of her, that she became an afterthought to her friends?

even though past MO games aren’t canon anymore, her friend’s reactions to her got me thinking... i can’t help but latch onto these ideas, even if they're jokes! perhaps deep down it bothers her. something has been wrong from the start! zakuro and her friends are a little more considerate in mo4. i’d say it’s a time in her life where she has accepted her fate and deals with it now. she loves herself! no doubt!

she enjoys her role in the end. but can you blame her when she wants to try to be a part of something more?

tl;dr i hc that the cloning ability is her external / internal problem! it prevents her from reaching out for deeper connections and it slowly erases her sense of self.

this is not all i have.. there's so many ideas i've explored. like how she seems to copy her friend’s behaviors / life, death, and willing sacrifice could be a common theme for her / is the original zakuro still alive? and so forth.

maybe those will be their own posts! maybe not! i feel it’ll ruin the fun if i kept on rambling though. this is simply me reaching my hand out inviting you to think about her more dramatically with me... cause it's fun!

art is the answer. let’s stay curious! one of the few numas with immortality? yes! much to think about 💭

umm so i wrote a little something inspired by the idea of my rook keeping a journal!! i wanted to write what would be her last entry before the events of tearstone island…. also contains a slight confession about her feelings towards Lucanis… it’s nothing special and it’s quite short but i wanted to post it anyway…. 🥺👉👈

Rook’s Journal Entry —

Elgar’nan has made his move. I should’ve seen this coming, I should’ve known something was wrong. But I don’t think I ever could’ve guessed that he would literally move the moon. Now we only have a few hours before he finishes the dagger.

The team is frightened, we were not prepared for this. They look to me for guidance, to give them strength. But I can’t let them see that I’m afraid too. I can’t let them know that I—[The rest of sentence is scribbled out.] I trust them all and I know we’ll be ready when the time comes. We will make it through.

I spoke to Varric and he gave me some reassurance, but I can’t help but feel like he should take the lead on this one. He should be there with us, leading us like he was supposed to. But he’s still too injured. I worry about him, it’s been so long and his wound still hasn’t healed. He’s been there for me for so long and I don’t know what I would do without him.

So I’ll let him rest. He believes in me. I won’t let him down. Like he said, just fight one battle at a time.

But this battle will be the toughest we’ve faced yet. We might not all make it back. [The previous line is crossed out but still eligible to read.] No, can’t think like that. We’re going to be okay. We can do this. I will fight, to keep everyone safe. To stop the gods and save all of Thedas. No pressure.

Lucanis… I’ve never seen him so worried. I did my best to reassure him but I don’t think it was enough. I have complete faith in him, I know he won’t miss this time. He’s come so far since Weisshaupt. He’s so much stronger and braver than he realises. I wish I could let him know how much I trust him. I wish I could tell him that I— [More words have been scribbled out.]

I did try. But he stopped me before I could say it. I should’ve… No, maybe it was for the best. He already has enough to worry about.

I just wanted to let him know… in case something happens. If one of us… No. I can’t even think about it.

I’ll just have to make sure we win this fight. Finally put an end to it all and bring everyone home.

Then we can be together. Then I can finally tell him that I lo—[The words have been lost, fresh teardrops have made the ink run.]

The Inquisitor taught me an Elven word at our last meeting. Ma Vhenan. She told me it means ‘my heart’. I thought of Lucanis the second I heard it.

He means more to me than I could ever put into words. But that… it comes close enough. He is my heart. My everything.

I can only hope that he feels the same.

[An addition has been added to the page recently, written in Lucanis’ handwriting.]

I do.

I’ll find you, Rook. I swear.

*thinking about the villains' tragic fates*

You know, their routes never really talk too much about their fates and how it effects them mentally. Or how the MC feels about it, and dealing with the fear and angst of it with the slight exception of William's route

*eyes widen*

... I think I know what the sequels are gonna be about

"I love this character, I wish he had more screen time!"

Sees that the next episode REVOLVES AROUND that character.

YOU'RE JOKING!!!!

This is the girl again!!! Now that her exams, her concussion, and Christmas is over I have decided to stir the pot with her again, and I just very gently reminded her that, "hey, you flirted with me a couple months ago...do you remember that?" (she did not) (I have AGAIN been bolder than I meant to) but anyway, she was like, "I'll get back on that!"

BOULDER TO THE HEAD PERHAPS?!?!

So far she has only tried the English songs, but she'll get there. If I don't get a girlfriend out of this, I'll be fine. If I don't get a Joker Out fan out of this— what was all this for?!

[slightlytoastedbagel]

actually On Your Feet gave us two good things (well. three if you like Realize which I do). Kohane's "it's frustrating" line and the great crack fic idea of Vivid Bad Squad getting cancelled online for skipping school to yell at The Kotaki Taiga as he was about to go back to America.
