why are they batshit insane

Seeing takes that Rook is “more realistic and relatable”……..I need to hold my tongue because my first thought was way too mean 😅

pouring one out for luo binghe in my disciple SQQ fic, poor guy has taken a backseat here. we're nearly 30k words deep and he hasn't even shown his face once. it'll be much longer before he even actually talks to Shen Qingqiu.

(i say im pouring one out but in reality im sitting in my director's chair chewing on a cigar and wearing a beret as he tearily and unsuccessfully pleads with me for more scenes with Shen Qingqiu)

Guys, ghosties, please keep the tr!BBH theories coming because I for one cannot figure out what the fudge is happening on my own unless someone does it first lmao. Let's be real though, the muffin man himself ain't gonna reveal anything anytime soon so maybe we should all just do a coin flip. Heads says he rejected heaven's gates and became a demon gremlin again, tails says he didn't reject heaven and is carrying out some kind of divine mission- or maybe it won't even matter because he's actually a secret third option we don't even have the clues to understand- *explodes*

smol thing for a fanart competition, prompt was "Prison" so P5 Velvet Room was kind of an obvious choice :v

i'm really curious about what went on with rook's dialogue though because it's pretty clear to me that the hawke-style splitting of dialogue was a late game addition they shoehorned in really badly. but also i feel like they might have added some extra options where there was supposed to be auto-fire dialogue, and half-finished implementing the hawke personality system. because something about the whole thing just feels SO wrong and weird.

thinking about the real horror in pidw being the complete and utter lack of agency if you're a woman. none of the women have any choice in liking luo binghe - or at least, thinking he's hot. they don't have a choice in wanting to fuck him, because the protagonist can't be a rapist, even if his creator calls him such. no, they have to want it, even if their desire is deep down. there's no option for them to not want him. it's straight up not written into the fabric of the world.

musing about what a translation of the silt verses would sound like and immediately running headfirst into the problem of whether and how to translate 'Sister Carpenter'

(Explore) First, I wanna know about this princess I’m supposed to slay.

What an odd choice, isn’t it? A story of a hero and a princess in which the hero is tasked with slaying said princess. But doesn’t that flip in the script make it all the more intriguing? What kind of princess is this that needs slaying

Or perhaps… she really is just a regular old princess, and that, by itself, is threatening as a monarch is an inherent evil for the world as a whole.

Oh, apologies, you’re probably looking for a more objective answer rather than these musings. Well, I’m afraid I can’t tell you much, that would spoil the story! A narrator of my caliber would never do such a thing. Critical information shall only be provided when the time is right.

Anyway… as much as this chit-chat has been a nice change of pace for me, this isn’t really doing much in terms of progressing with the story, is it? It’s my job as a narrator to move the narrative along and keep it from slogging, and I’m afraid we’re getting too close to slog territory, and I can’t let you keep slogging it up.

So– Hmmm. Let’s see…

i think limes magic res would ironically make him the protagonist of any kind of shenanigans that involved a magic world transformation. like if they get locked in a magic house and everything inside turns into an adventure land and everyone turns into little toys or something, mochi included, except lime with his ridiculous resistance while the bad guy (??) stands there scratching his head wondering why lime didnt get shoved into the little fun world

"why didn't we have the option to tell Kieran the truth this is bad game design" linear story enjoyers when the story is linear:

Give me flawed characters, but please don't try to tone down or pretend that what they did is justified
