I have to fight myself so hard to not be the world's biggest snob about oni lore, I think abt it and shake like a small dog as I remember that most ppl haven't read it all at least 5 times. Most ppl haven't even read it all once. Please please please please I know it looks like 90% is irrelevant to the main meat of the lore but actually a good 20% of that 90% is more important than that initial 10% and a good 40% of that remaining 70% is also vital to actually understand the lore and then that remaining 30% is also vital to the story and if you don't read it then I will crumble and die
#rat rambles#oni posting#but like for real oni is sooo sneaky with how it distribute its important lore tidbits its so easy to miss shit#its the glory of the silhouette storytelling oni has but it also means that its easy to not realize that the outline is there sometimes#the joy of it is finding the fragments and learning to spot the minor things that actually matter a lot only to be punched in the face by#one of the logs that you never knew existed before and have that shatter everything you thought you knew#I know I always bring up a seed is planted when I talk abt oni but straight up its probably one of the most important logs like. period.#like the way the biggest grain of hope this story has to offer is tucked away in one log that would otherwise be just sorta neat without#being necessarily groundbreaking is soooo fucking important to me like shit man#I love the duplicants theyre such a tragedy in their own right but one with a much more hopeful ending#well not ending per say but a more hopeful future#its a delightful counterpart to the main tragedy that is being told which ends almost completely miserably#the temporal tear is basically the only seed of hope olivia's story has to offer and I dont personally see it as a big one#and I Adore that abt the story especially in contrast with the dupes much more subtle underlining story#I was going to go on a whole ramble abt all the things I adore abt tragedy as a genre but its late and I need to sleep#rest assured tragedy is like my absolute favorite shit when done well#god knows it can be done poorly but when its done right it goes so fucking crazy
