What is your opinion on ottojoyce?

I used to have a loooot thoughts about them, but never really shared too much… they’ve always been difficult for me to pin down. Their relationship always felt queer to me in all senses of the word.

Joyce is the only person Otto ever confided in as a friend in his 500+ years of life after the death of his best friend, which says… A LOT!!! Otto’s never shown that kind of trust to anyone before, not even to Kallen! The letters he writes to him are raw expositions of his feelings, his thoughts, nearly a manifesto. Something no one else has ever been able to hear. On one hand, I could interpret this display of trust as Otto trying to lower Joyce’s defenses, but Joyce was already in his labs being tested on. Otto trusts him like he’s never trusted anyone before for reasons I still don’t understand. (breaking out of documentary narrator mode for a moment to comment that he’s gay. that’s probably why.)

I’ll use someone else’s words to describe it: It's like how someone gets intimate with an easily disposable burner phone.... You put all your secrets in it, then destroy it to make sure no one else sees em! That’s exactly what Otto did to Joyce. He trusted him with his secrets, then had him killed when he realized that he wasn’t going to side with him, like he expected him to. But I think he truly expected to find friendship in Joyce. That’s why he holds such a grudge towards the Welt that follows him. He’ll never be him, not to Otto.

I found this conversation of theirs interesting too. I can’t tell if Otto truly intended for this to happen — his position of power as what’s essentially the real life equivalent of a world-dominating politician is crucial to his plans. I think he meant for Joyce to succeed him after his death, to use the powers of Schicksal for good, like they were meant to be used, until Otto had to twist the ropes a little in order to achieve his plans. He truly saw the good of humanity in Joyce, something he refused to believe in ever since the death of his best friend.

otto thinks topping a Herrscher (welt joyce) would have helped in his plans but failed HORRIBLY at it in the bath house scene in the ae visual novel, killing joyce a few days later by nuking NYC

while void archives successfully did it with welt yang at the cost of them being in somewhat in a situational ship and whatever tension they had going on in the alien space manga. and the cheery on top is VA's unannounced departer in hsr being up to interpretation for now as the story progresses

‘I hear the sounds of a heart, a filthy, husky voice’

‘Rather than where the man in front of me is going, I'm far more interested in your future’

‘Ah, enough to be satisfied, my body, my heart, all of it, stronger and deeper, now then, let them get hotter.’

‘Lying down inside a tiny shop is our love covered in dust,’

‘ And if you refuse to call it true love, then I'll show you, the proof of my love! ’
