I know that we got plenty of options as to how everything with the Ender King is going to go down, but a thought that has not left my mind was the idea of the Ender King downing qPhil in some way and taking him away. Which means there would be a chat message for all to see :)

For example :)

nothing more frustrating than playing New Video Game and/or digesting new media in general and you're like "mmmm this is kinda bad/boring. honestly." so out of curiosity you look up to see if anybody else feels this way but you are instead greeted with if you think anything about this is bad or boring you need to be put in front of a firing squad

Ya know ... a fairly common complaint / critique I have seen thrown at the first osmt san movie is that it didn't show the 18matsus enough -- which i definitely agree to, to some extent -- but specifically complaints about kara being shown the least always baffles me a teeny bit.

I personally think it makes like. a LOT of sense if you think about where the movie's coming from -- the whole point of it is to show how much they used to suppress, but also, how much Karamatsu was talked over and ignored as a youth. I think his absence really nails home how little regard the others had spared for him at the time and how he often went forgotten and ignored ( and also plays into why, aside from red roses, forget me nots are his most common flower association ).

I would say it comes off as a more deliberate choice to feature him as little as possible because even the other brothers barely --or not at all -- remembered how Karamatsu was supposed to be back then. And yes, it's his memory world -- but doesn't that also emphasize the fact? The fact that he felt so isolated and forgotten from his siblings he's barely even present in the world made from HIM???? Like ... ouch, man. That shows you so much without telling you to your face, and makes a pretty good case for Karamatsu trying to suppress that aspect of himself and his personality more than anything; hard to find, hard to talk to, glossed over by all...

Then there was the lying to himself, and that only really made things worse for him in the future. Now he's more fascinatingly closed off than ever ... and only now does it seem like the brothers (at least as of the pizza skit) are realizing how little they do. I'm also of the camp that I believe his season 3 characterization makes a lot of sense post movie, though I know that's a pretty divisive opinion in the fanbase -- but whats clear to me is that he's very much about to burn out similar to ichimatsu's burn out, and he can't keep pretending he's fine and dandy forever.

Collateral Angst - The real point of the story isn't "the victim was attacked" but "look how protective/self-loathing/angsty/loving the victim's friend is." (TVTropes)

How about collateral whump?

How does Fuuta feel about being the chew toy in any given Amane angst fic?

KIDDING (kinda). Real answer under the cut, but this is referring to the Amane timeloop angst fic by Kyanako and Nott!

Ow. Just, OW.

First and foremost, I think he’d be shocked to discover he’s not the main character. (Even in a non-fourth wall breaking sense,) I think after being so stuck in an internet environment that emphasizes the self, after envisioning himself as a hero so often, then to have his worldview shattered and believe himself a villain, it would not compute that the universe is administering cosmic punishment to some girl just a liiiittle to the left. Cue a lot of anger, a lot of attempted force to get himself out of the situation, and a lot of panic. Once he deals with the crushing blow that he’s not the special main character he thought he was, I see a few possibilities with even chances (depending on how many loops he’s been through/how the information was revealed/when the information was revealed/etc):

The first and best option is that he finds some sort of purpose in lifting up Amane. It sucks, and it’s going to get him beaten, tortured, and killed a million ways, but in doing so he’s helping the person he’s become the most protective over. He can at least take some pain away that the universe had aimed her way. She gets so much stronger and changes her frame of mind in honor of his misfortune. He may not end up on top, but he finds peace in willingly sacrificing himself for someone he deeply cares about. He'd become a more reckless and self-harming now that he sees that as his purpose, but he's happy with it.

If he’s in a slightly worse state of mind, he may come to the same peace, but for selfish reasons. He realizes he is some kind of chosen after all, since the universe is using him to lift up the true protagonist. He undergoes his suffering with the knowledge that he’s still a hero, he’s still special, he’s just special because he gets to help Amane. As his role goes to his head, he'd start trying to influence other things in the timeline, occasionally making things better but also making them worse if he tried to take on too much.

If he’s in a really bad state of mind, his desperate and hurting brain will make the connection that all this pain is technically because of Amane herself. If the universe is hurting him to hurt her, then without her, he’d be in no danger. He’d spiral – ranging from distancing himself as much as he can from her, to outright confronting her as the source of all this pain.

Not the worst but certainly not a good option – something clicks in his already-fracturing mind about Amane’s religious views and he sees the situation as his hell. God is real and punishing him for killing a young girl, so to atone he must suffer to protect His special girl. It’d be a weird mix of a mindset, since Fuuta genuinely believes he’s in hell for what could feel like an eternity until he’s paid his debt – but also retains the small hope that he’s working towards the reward of heaven. He would do absolutely nothing in this case, thinking just rolling over and going with the flow is what he's meant to endure.
