forever thinking about royal’s bad ending. my thing with it is that maruki doesn’t necessarily give anyone what they want most, he gives them what’s most appropriate for them to want within a maruki-approved framework. iirc there’s a really interesting text sequence in the game where he just straight up changes someone’s career because they’re not “good” at it, regardless of whether that’s what they actually want. why struggle at all? ever? right?

and so ultimately i don’t think goro akechi’s greatest wish is necessarily ren. i think it’s a wish for sure, but his greatest wish is his own agency. despite any regrets he has and the fact that shido and yaldabaoth treated him like a pawn, he's generally pretty adamant about owning his choices and their consequences. he doesn't want that erased. and instead, you end up with pleasant boy™ if you take maruki’s deal. maybe maruki (incorrectly) thinks sanding off all of akechi’s rough edges will make him easier for ren to love. but the crux of it is really that maruki has to essentially lobotomize him to preserve the illusion of his perfect reality, because their ideologies are so diametrically opposed that akechi would spend every waking moment fighting back.

this isn’t to undermine ren’s importance to akechi btw — he explicitly acknowledges that he wishes they had met earlier, and there are countless moments throughout their confidant that underscore how much it means to him that they mirror each other so well. he absolutely does want more time with ren, just not under these circumstances.

and that’s also what makes ren’s choice on 2/2 doubly devastating. he knows that either way he loses akechi. and if he takes maruki’s deal, he loses him knowing that his last moments with the real akechi involved the two of them being unforgivably out of sync.

Mass murderers who won't keep killing unless absolutely necessary because their beloveds get sad when they do are my faves tbh

Specially when said beloved loves that they would do it, and only get sad because they would rather follow a healthier moral compass (Even if they will, also kill without hesitation if needed)

telling people apart in shows when theyre all conventionally attractive white people is such a struggle, i am the kind of person that couldn't tell that two of my teachers were in fact two seperate people because they were both blonde, that is a thing thats happened twice, took me half a year before i realised

The thing is they're not even attractive which makes them even harder to tell apart. They all also had dark hair and were about the same height its Brad Brad Brad and Brad over here

in my feminist philosophy class, we were talking about tasks that women (or people perceived as women) get assigned as a way to reinforce roles and expectations. and one girl was saying how when her mom was feeling unwell, all the chores and tasks her mom used to do automatically fell onto her, rather than her several brothers or father.

when my prof asked if she had agreed to said chores, and she said yes, my prof was like, "see, now this is where you went wrong. you have to pretend you're horrible at those chores." LMAO
