Forget “porn without plot.”

If you’re gonna write me a smut fic, write me something devastating.

A man who’s been in love with a woman for years. And he’s begging on his knees for just a moment of her attention. He will do ANYTHING.

This woman is a ‘what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger’ type gal.

She’s brutally independent and is an anti-romantic. She’ll drag a bitch.

He begs her to let him pleasure her, prove that he’s worthy enough.

She absolutely walks him like a dog. Turns this man into a whimpering, whining, pathetic mess.

And afterwards? She leaves.

no bc why arent we talking about how ndrv3 has so much potential, ESPECIALLY in their antagonists and plots?? Sure, they tried to do something with them with the emotion v logic and reality v fiction, but like... they're such large concepts that it's kind of hard to fit both of them into a plot, let alone a game.

[ndrv3 spoilers btw]

lets talk about emotion v logic bc i can split the foils up really nicely with this plot:

LOGIC: Rantaro, Kirumi, Angie, Kokichi, Maki, Kiibo, Shuich

EMOTION: Kaede, Ryoma, Tenko, Korekiyo, Gonta, Miu, Kaito, Himiko, Tsumugi, Shuichi

here, everyone has at least one (1) foil. Kaede has Rantaro, Kokichi has Gonta, Miu, and Kaito, the list goes on. With these characters being next to each other, they highlight their own stance while also showcasing the complexity of said stance (like how both Kaede and Rantaro and united in defeating the mastermind, but it was Kaede's worry of the time limit expiring that incentive her to set her plan into motion).

With emotion v logic, there isn't a clear line of 'good and bad' like hope v despair or future v past, both of these qualities are good in a person. v3 is really grey in it's messages, which makes it one of the best dr games in my opinion (i like to be ignorant to some of the.. other problems it has). It's not bad that you are emotional, but when your emotions cloud your judgement, that is bad. It's not bad that you are logical, but when your logic overweighs your autonomy, that's bad.

This by itself could be an entire game: how can we have a balance between compassion and cynicism? Trust v safety. Of course, that is the A plot for v3 and I think they handled it somewhat well. (of course, it could've done better if Angie wasn't killed, making Angie a foil to Shuichi instead of that role being put on Kokichi [who i find more so Kaito's foil], but a girl can only dream).

SPEAKING OF ANTAGONISTS, LETS TALK ABOUT REALITY V FICTION!! -- i'll also separate the characters, though this is a little more difficult to pin down.

REALITY: Rantaro, Ryoma, Kirumi, Kokichi, Shuichi, Kiibo, Maki

FICTION: Kaede, Tenko, Angie, Korekiyo, Miu, Gonta, Kaito, Himiko, Tsumugi

This, alike the emotion v logic, is grey. Reality hurts so finding comfort in fiction is bad-- however when your entire reality becomes fictional, something's awry. This is, unsurprisingly, shown in the last chapter the best: the world is crumbling away, the people are conscious, and the fiction someone is living in is peeling away to show the hideous reality. It's stated that the outside world is peaceful since they get their violent tendencies by voyeuristically watching danganronpa (which, no, that likely wouldn't happen.), so people are immersing themselves in fiction. IGNORING reality.

There are some implications to this B plot: Korekiyo talking about 'seeing his dead sister' which is not based in the reality that we know, Himiko talking about magic outside of magic tricks, and Tsumugi being more infatuated with cosplay than being herself. Meanwhile, Kiibo doesn't shy away from understanding that he's a robot (and actively tries to help), and Kokichi straight up makes a script for someone to mimic him once he dies to mess the game up.

and yet v3 is kind of... bad. The conclusion doesn't feel right, it doesn't feel like they worked for this, that's bc throughout the game, they were contesting against grey matters. There's no villain, there's no 'the worst, most tragic event in human history', just a company writing fiction. That's why I think people don't like this ending.

The game is like an essay that ends up no where without a firm foot hold because of the topics they chose to convey. They didn't exaggerate it enough (which is saying A LOT for the 'youre fictional' game), leading the a and b plots to fall flat.

Not only with their plots, mind you, but with their antagonists.

Kaede is perfectly written for plot a, kirumi is perfectly written for plot a, Korekiyo is (semi)perfectly written for plot a, gonta is perfectly written for plot a, kaito is perfectly written for plot a, but tsumugi is only written for plot b. She's forgotten by her creators just like how the audience forgets her.

Angie, Korekiyo, Kokichi, and Tsumugi are the main 'bad guys' for ndrv3-- but... are they?

Angie is a devote believer in her deity who has gotten everything handed to her, so of course she's going to be erratic in keeping everything under her control.

Korekiyo is a boy who's sister tragically died and is being TORTURED just to see her again, so of course he's mind is twisted with thoughts of sacrificing people to her.

Kokichi is a scared trickster who always manages to slide his way in and out of trouble, so of course he's going to hide his emotions and harm others so he can win.

And Tsumugi? She's trapped in a fictional world that she has no way of escaping, so of course she's going to be forgotten-- she isn't made for this world.

But, these characters are reduced to 'religious cult leader', 'serial incest killer', 'insane clown', and 'who?' This is another effect of having too many plots going on-- these characters aren't allowed their time to shine bc the plot is constantly throwing them around,

but idk, those are my thoughts. sorry for this being really scrambled I just have lots of feelings about ndrv3.

YALL COULD NEVER SHUT ME UP ABOUT THE JAK GAMES BC

THE WRITING IS AMAZING AND NEEDS TO BE ADDED ON AT THE SAME TIME

LIKE

NOT ONCE DID THE HEROS GET WHAT THEY WANT

DAXTER NEVER BECAME NORMAL AGAIN

JAK NEVER GOT HIS VENGANCE ON PRAXIS

JAK DIDNT GET TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS FATHER

JAK DIDNT KILL VEGAR HE WAS JUST TURNED INTO AN OTTZEL AND GOT IT CALLED A DAY

Jak only ever got Kira in the end, and even then. He didn't get what he set out to get.

In jak 2 his MAIN GOAL was to kill praxis.

That never happened.

Praxis died from falling debris, and PRAXIS EVEN HAMMERED DOWN THAT HE MADE JAK TO DEFEAT THE METAL HEAD ARMIES

WHICH WOULD FURTHER MAKE JAK MORE VENGEFUL AGAINST PRAXIS.

JAK DIDNT WANT TO DEFEAT THE METAL HEADS UNTIL THE END(almost). HIS MAIN GOAL WAS KILLING PRAXIS AND HE PICKED UP KILLING THE METAL HEADS ONCE HE UNDERSTOOD THAT THEY WERE NOW IN THE FUTURE AND THAT THEY DESTROIED HIS HOME.

and don't get me started on the regret he probably felt once he found out that damas was his father.

He probably lay awake countless nights thinking what could've been if he brought his younger self to damas.

If he could've lived out his childhood with his father who died in his arms.

But no.

It was all taken away.

The heros don't get what they want in jak and daxter and I think we need more of these kinds of stories.

BECAUSE I LOVE AND HATE IT SM.

anyway there's my late night rambling.

I’m so tired of pretending that Peeta Mellark and Neteyam Sully aren’t the same fucking person in a different universe.

My partner proofreads all my work and he told me that in my fic neteyam gives “Peeta vibes” and I said

I love men that are pussy whipped without actually needing pussy.

Okay but

I just noticed that when bookmarking a fic, you can leave a comment, and you can see people's bookmarks on your works, and just one person bookmarked Claws and Chaos with a comment

I don't know if you found this here in tumblr, if you're reading this, but, I hope both sides of the pillow are cold for you, I hope every kitten or dog you desire to pet accepts happily, and I hope there's always a discount on your favorite snacks
