Current worry about Starfall’s themes and Asha’s arc in particular is that it parallels the Darkrai arc a liiittle too well
#the world’s space is out of balance and causing distortions and cracks to spread#you are told you are the reason this is happening because you are a distortion/out of place in the world yourself#develops suicidal ideation as a result wondering if sacrificing themself for the sake of the world is for the best and that you dont belong#anyways so who would care#and then finally creatures associated with space are trying to kill you and are basically affirming that belief#the only differences ig are that asha is legitimately kind of a big distortion and her existence is a strain on their universe#(if only because that universe is at its limit when it comes to interdimensional anomalies and travels#and no one is telling asha to kill herself or anything she gets those thoughts on her own. mental illness#it sooorta goes in a different direction where asha has to seek help to stabilize themself for their own sake#cause living without any sort of treatment to handle their glitching is detrimental to them#and its not something that can be snapped away like how palkia works with hero and partner#like. asha at her core is an anomaly shes a pokemon that was never meant to exist. erasing the anomaly means erasing her.#i cant say its all a coincidence either tho cause asha’s glitch is directly inspired by hero and partner being considered anomalies in postg#postgame#it’s basically that combined with the gti postgame implications#echoed voice#starfall tag#pmd posting#suicide mention#jic
