Adding onto the “villainess isekai” idea from a day or two ago…

I’ve thought a bit more about it, and I figured it would be even more chaotic if several other isekai victims were running around and not just Vio. So I narrowed it down to Blue and Zelda after considering what would be most interesting from a narrative standpoint.

Blue is in the role of another potential love interest for the game's protagonist, but I like to think he's the one with the most knowledge on the original game (though he does not want to admit that at first). He's played through everyone's routes, and while he has favorites, he's also the most hesitant to go against the established story, at least in the beginning. He identifies Vio as another other-worlder almost immediately on account of Vio being out of character, but neither of them figure out Zelda for quite some time.

Zelda is the one who stays most in character, though she's aware of Blue and Vio being in the same boat as her. She, like Vio, has someone specific in mind for who she wants to end up with, and as the protagonist, she has it a lot easier than the other two. She pushes the plot towards the neutral route up until the point where chapter 3 would begin, and then starts to pursue Erune, the secret love interest.

Once it becomes clear Zelda isn't going to route switch, Blue basically decides fuck it and starts up on the arduous task of romancing both Red and Green (the two he played the routes of most). Of course, Red and Green, being regular non-isekai'd people, have no idea why their teammates and friends are so fucking weird, but hey, never a dull moment.

All of them have different views of their second life. Zelda fully embraces it as a new chance, not a game, but an opportunity to find love with someone who will return it. She goes along with the established plot just so she can hurry up and start living the way she wants to. She's having a blast.

Blue is in the middle. A little unnerved that he knows so much about people who hardly know him, but willing to try once he realizes that Red and Green are so much more than their game counterparts could ever be (they're real people, not just scripted events, who would have guessed). He just hopes that means they'll choose to give him a chance, together.

Vio is the opposite of the others. He doesn't see their new life as anything more than a game. The previous life he lived was much the same, until he got bored of it and decided to quit playing. Shadow is real enough. He seems to like Vio...somehow, and that's all he really cares about for now. If all goes well, Shadow will eventually be able to change his mindset, but until then, Vio has no issue happily playing the villain role.

One last thing I've thought of is Zelda and Vio having known each other in their previous life. Vio does not remember Zelda at all, but Zelda is fairly sure Vio is the same guy she confessed her feelings to in their previous life. The one who rejected her, and caused her to give otome games a try in the first place (and subsequently get very attached to Erune). She isn't angry or bitter about it (she was introduced to the love of her second life indirectly through him after all), just a little sad, given what she knows about him.

Blue meanwhile, has no prior attachment to either of them, he just lived in the same city and played the same dating-sim.

Thoughts on naming this "The Vio-lence Route" AU? All Routes Lead to Vio-lence lmao.

For those who don’t know, Elon Musk has recently been directing his assholery towards Wikipedia — calling them ‘Wokepedia’ due to the amount they spend on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and calling for people to stop giving them money “until they restore balance to their editing authority” —, now is a great time to consider donating to Wikipedia!

I think the difference between myself and other religious people is that I don't see saying "oh my g-d" as being disgraceful to His name. I see saying "oh my g-d" like you're trying to get g-d's attention so you can do this:

This is on my mind due to a few of my fandoms but I've seen it pretty much everywhere: whether a character deserves redemption is far more about genuine remorse and restitution, not the magnitude of wrongdoing nor the severity of punishment. A guy who kicks one dog, is beaten nearly to death, recovers, and kicks a second dog doesn't get a redemption arc. A guy who commits a war crime, is given a stern talking to and a slap on the wrist, and changes their ways and goes about attempting in good faith to make amends does. You cannot punish someone into redemption and you cannot traumatize someone into blamelessness and it's pretty fucked up people act like the quantity of suffering is what brings about redemption and not the actions willingly taken.

Mairon but i jumped way too many steps so its... not ideal lol. Pray someday i get the willpower to redo a proper one >.>

edit: I changed my mind again. Red is better. ((i need someone to tell me to stop ruminating this and creating a million *slightly* different versions 💀💀💀💀💀))

green channel seems better than color actually (like i know the value structure is fine but color is too hard and too much orange hurts my eyes)
