finding confirmation that kirell was indeed 24 in the original game, and her being a high schooler when she died in argo's choice was a bizarre retcon, is Validating for a number of reasons (i KNEW she was a depressed mafia NEET. i FUCKIN knew it). it also explains philio's complete and total nonexistence in AC, because i'm pretty sure they realized what an Incredibly bad look their previously established relationship would be, and i am now ten times more irritated about that than ever lmao
#7 days decide your story#7 days philio#7 days kirell#argo's choice is an extremely mixed bag of genuinely good writing and bizarre nonsensical canon-wrecking mess#(even after the final route reveal; which was genuinely fantastically done)#it is unfortunately an Extremely shoddily put together game overall#but that in particular really truly launches it into 'none of this is canon except for the bits i feel like using' territory for me#i am a huge phirell shipper and philio is one of my favorite blorbos and that is EXTREMELY not the dynamic/characterization i showed up for#it made me insanely fucking uncomfortable not being able to concretely dismiss it; and it's a huge relief to finally have confirmation#but MAN. MAN.#7 days tag#dyn: what orpheus must have felt#7 days crit tag#the crit files#grooming implied cw#i was SO disappointed at him being the one (1) character completely left out of it too. i am a pillar of salt to this day

honestly i think one of the reasons phirell changed my brain chemistry is that on my first playthrough i started shipping them as soon as he showed up, half out of spite for Oh God Not the Edgy Forced Het Ship Tease and half out of spite for knowing characters like philio are never involved in canon ships, only to get completely poleaxed by him being THE main subtextual love interest while kirell/aam is significantly more ambiguous once you get past balaam's surface-level performance. literally one of the potential last questions on his section of charon's interview--which you only find out is the case on your second playthrough--makes him happy if you say you're fine with just living out your life, and even happier if you say you're open to starting a family. when i tell you i was going insane
#7 days decide your story#7 days philio#7 days kirell#phirell#no shade to kirell/aam shippers; the two dynamics just come across to me as a major reversal re: narrative intent toward romance#you go into philio and kirell's dynamic not realizing the story is Going There with them until Holy Shit They Went There. It All Makes Sens#whereas you go into balaam and kirell's dynamic going 'okay this is supposed to be the Belligerent Flirty Enemies to Lovers ship'#(and; if you're anything like me: *'sighs'*)#only for it to turn out he's putting on an act for *everyone*; doing what he thinks will piss them off or make them grimace at him most#because he only feels able and allowed to defend himself if he's justified by being attacked first#and if you get on friendly terms with him; that performance falls away and what's left feels like a much more frank 'i'm you and you're me'#which; if you read that as romantic that's fine! it just doesn't come across that way to me#and out of everyone philio has the largest number of the most blatantly coded flags for a narratively intended romance#both in their own right and commented on by other characters#and yeah i was not expecting that At All and it sucker punched me in the neurons for the rest of my life#7 days tag#dyn: what orpheus must have felt#to dyn
