get ready to rrrrrumble
jesus christ this is a long ass submission so uh puts it in a read more also puts my txt in bold so its easier to read đ
Right, so Iâve just read everything that happened in the last few asks you got and Iâm just gonna sit down and tell you this right now. You better strap the fuck in because this is long and if youâre not gonna read it, shame on you, because all of this is specifically about YOU and the problems people have with you (the people Blu mentioned). First off, Iâm not Blu, so donât go and start calling him names in your server because youâre finally, FINALLY, being called out on all the bullshit you do. I used to be your friend, I left on semi-good terms, and this entire thing is going to explain WHY I left + why you need to square the fuck up.
sounds like fun whoever u are
You need to get your shit together and seriously change yourself, but of course youâre not gonna do that, because youâre an incompetent piece of shit who has your head so far up your ass you canât see all the things you do wrong. You act like youâre the person who suffers the most, and that anytime anyone is rude to you itâs THEIR fault, not the fact that you did something terrible to someone or that you started some drama. Iâve been fed up with this shit for months, and have been hesitant to say anything directly to your face, because you donât even know me that well and we hardly talked. We did interact a few times, but those few times were absolute hell to me, because I must have literally retracted some kind of disease just from being near you. You are the fucking EMBODIMENT of tumblrina, and itâs so fucking sad because you werenât like this before (based on what a few others have told me).
the use of tumblrina here is jus makin me laugh ur a funny guy buddy but i feel like my past self is worse thn my current self like past me participated in cringe culture so like ew
The way you talk? Absolutely fucking horrid. Sit the fuck up and talk like a normal goddamn human being. Iâm here to talk to you, not to decipher some 57 commas and abhorrid shortening of words. Jesus fucking Christ Sombre, I can understand Internet slang and cutting some words up, but you fucking butcher the English language so bad it literally sounds like a toddler having a stroke while mashing at their keyboard. Itâs âthatâ not âthtâ, itâs âthingâ not âthngâ, itâs âsomethingâ not âsmthâ, and for GOD FUCKING SAKES ITâS âTHEâ NOT âTHâ. ARE YOU LITERALLY SO FUCKING LAZY THAT YOU CANâT EVEN TYPE âTHEâ, A THREE LETTER WORD. I donât give a shit if youâre talking like this to sound like an anxious uwu tumblr piece of SHIT, it sounds fucking IDIOTIC and itâs an ABSO-FUCKING-LUTE PAIN TO READ.
language is fake and is mostly just sounds we give meaning, im very sorry if you have trouble reading the way i type and id be more than happy to try and not speak to you like i usually do to everyone else if you just asked politely and talked it out with me (tho the idiotic part is accurate im not very smart lmao)
SPEAKING OF YOUR TUMBLR, LETâS TALK ABOUT YOUR UPSET.TXT TAG. If you think anyone is gonna pity you, SPOILER ALERT! THEYâRE FUCKING NOT. Unless theyâre your shitty âfriendsâ, NOBODY fucking gives a shit, alrighty? Speaking from my perspective and a few others, nobodyâs gonna see this venting on their dashboard and give two shits. Unless theyâre your mutuals, they wonât care and it just leaves a bad impression. Itâs pathetic how when ANYTHING negative happens to you, you decide to take to Tumblr to boo hoo crypost about it. You wanna vent? You wanna cry yourself to sleep? Cool, talk about it on your server, NOT FUCKING TUMBLR, WHERE LITERALLY ANYONE CAN SEE IT. This is just like how Facebook used to be, you see these posts of people posting personal shit and getting bit in the ass for it later, YEAH WELL THATâS WHATâS HAPPENING TO YOU RIGHT NOW BUDDY. DONâT LIKE IT? DONâT FUCKING VENT ON TUMBLR.
i rarely vent on here dude like?? do you see the time gaps between the posts in my vent tag? its also my blog so i can post whatever i like as long as im not hurting anyone yo, plus the point of venting for me at least isnt to like get attention or sympathy its to let off some steam not to mention most to all of my vent posts are vague as hell so likeâŚ. why do you even care though?? if i get bit in the ass then thats my problem not yours
Right, so letâs talk about your âim gayâ tag too! You identify as male, correct? Thatâs cool! Congrats. But youâre not gay if you clearly show an interest in girls. Doesnât matter if theyâre fictional or not. Your âim gayâ tag is filled with girls (Bismuth, some anime girl, pinup girls). NEWSFLASH ASSHOLE! Youâre male, those are females! Opposite genders! That means youâre NOT GAY! WOAAAAAH! So who are you to be reblogging and posting all this shit about how hetero people are the devil, hetero people are the worst wah wah, when you yourself identify as a guy and clearly seem to be interested in girls, even if just a little?
dude i used to identify as nonbinary i only recently started identifying as male, hell i used to identify as female ages back so like? the posts in that tag are most to all old and i do realize my attraction to girls isnt gay, hence why ive only been referring to my attraction to dudes as me being gay post-male identification i guess
Speaking of all the heterophobic shit you reblog, have you not considered it could make some of your followers feel absolutely terrible? Iâm bi myself, I like both guys and girls, but holy FUCK when I see that shit on your blog it makes me feel guilty for liking guys at all! Is that how you want people to feel? Whether theyâre pan, bi, or straight, that shitâs literally so fucking damaging and it sure as hell hurts to see! And donât throw that âsome of those posts are jokesâ bullshit at me, because guess the fuck what! They may be jokes to people who arenât hetero, but they sure as hell donât seem like jokes to those who are! How would you feel if I made a joke that was even SLIGHTLY negative towards homosexuals? Wait, no, donât answer that, because I already know how youâd feel. Youâd get pissy, youâd stomp your little baby feet over to Tumblr, and then crypost about it, saying youâre facing homophobia and being harassed blah blah blah.
HETEROPHOBIC IM LAUGHINGâŚ. buddyâŚ. palâŚ. heterophobia is fake and im very sorry if those post make you feel bad as a bisexual person (im also bi so) but heterophobia isnt actually a thing, comparing jokes directed at straight people to lgbtphobia is inherently lgbtphobic as it compares little jokes most to all directed at bigoted/ignorant straights to something that can often result in the actual literal death of hundreds of people for their gender/orientation- that doesnt happen to straight people dude
Also: you donât have autism. Were you officially diagnosed? Because Iâm gonna be real fuckinâ honest, it doesnât sound like you have autism. You sure have something, hoh yeah, but itâs sure as hell not autism. You put your âautismâ up on a pedestal and act like itâs one of the only things about you, like no hunty, your mental illness doesnât define you. Nobody gives a shit, okay? Your mental illness isnât an excuse to act like a literal fuckface, itâs not an excuse to treat people like shit, and it sure as hell isnât an excuse to blame everything on others and make yourself out to be the good guy because âmy autism made me anxious or forget things ;w;â. This is the exact kind of tumblrina thing Iâm talking about, people on this goddamn website act like their mental illness is the only quality about them and that not being neurotypical makes them special. NEWS-FUCKIN-FLASH, it doesnât. It really doesnât. You donât see me using my mental illness as an excuse for my actions, because I actually step the fuck up and take responsibility for shit Iâve caused. My mental illness does not define me. Thereâs more to me than that. You need to realize that your fake-ass autism isnât an excuse for you to be a fucking asshole to the people around you, and that your actions do have consequences. Stop blaming others for shit youâve caused, stop calling people jackasses when itâs YOU whoâs insulting people and twisting the truth, and for the love of God tell your white knights of friends to shut the FUCK up if they donât know all the details of a situation.
i was technically diagnosed albeit in a nontraditional fashion (a psych at our middleschool was the one who diagnosed me) and i have never defined myself solely by my autism nor have i used it as an excuse for my fuck ups, ive literally apologized and stopped doing the things i did since the blu incident, i recognize i fucked up there and i apologized and i havent done the whole lying out of anxiety thing since, also my white knights of friends??? YOURE the one coming into MY inbox to tell me how shit i am after i blocked blu i literally just want this to be over leave me alone dude
Alright, so now that weâre done talking about YOU, letâs talk about your fandoms. You like Osomatsu-San. Okay, thatâs fine. Whatâs not fine is how FUCKING obsessive you are about it. Thereâs nothing wrong with liking something and being attached to characters, making art of it, having a blog, reblogging it, talking about it, thatâs okay. Thatâs okay! But you? You fucking hold the characters so close and act like theyâre your own characters. You get upset when something doesnât go your way in the show. This was evidenced by how many times youâve complained about episodes (guess where? upset.txt) after theyâve come out. That anon about the straight joke? You got so heated over that, didnât you? Saying Chibita was âout of characterâ, BITCH, what do you fucking know? Heâs not your goddamn character! The writers will write him however the fuck they want. Itâs THEIR fucking show, itâs THEIR fucking characters, and itâs THEIR decision of who does what and who acts like what. Thereâs a VERY thick line between canon and fanon, and you canât seem to distinguish that AT ALL. You merge your shitty headcanons with the canon universe, and when something doesnât go your way, you FREAK THE FUCK OUT and go crying about it in your server or on your tags.
youre blowing that ONE FUCKING POST so out of proportion ive never complained abt ososan in upset.txt outside of MAYBE episode 4 and that would be because of the NONCONSENSUAL SEX SCENE i KNOW my headcanons arent canon i KNOW that the chibita/snowtoko complaint was MINOR and i fucking LIKED THAT EPISODE A LOT!! i didnt cry i just felt that based on how the staff have characterized chibita up until that point it was a little jarring to see him react like he did THAT IS ALL! what the fuck!! how would you even know what i talk about in my servers!! youre obviously misinformed my guy!!!
Lemme tell you something, Sombre: Karabita isnât canon. OH SHIT! I SAID IT BOYS! THATâS A FUCKING CURSE ISNâT IT!! No, sorry, sit the fuck down and suck those tears up, because itâs true. Itâs not canon. It isnât. You grasp at straws to say it is, but it isnât. Chibita wore somehing blue? Oh shit, itâs Karamatsu! Heâs clearly in love with him! No, sorry honey, thatâs not how it works. Of course Chibita would feel pity on him and let him stay with him (ep 24), because who wouldnât? That doesnât mean theyâre dating. Karamatsu may be the most bisexual person ever, but he sure as hell isnât dating Chibita (at least, not canonly). Speaking of Chibita, you need to stop acting like any other Matsu x Chibita ship is literal hell. Theyâre not. There are some decent ones out there, and although theyâre rarepairs by now, theyâre a lot better quality than the Karabita bullshit you spew out.
me saying karabita is canon is a joke, and my disdain for non karabita matsubita ships is based half in coping reasons and half in chibita has literally no chemistry with the other matsus and seems to not like any of the other bros at all whereas hes actually shown some level of tolerance or interest in karamatsu
While weâre on the subject of non-canon ships, Atsutodo isnât canon either. Fuckâs sake, they were on screen together for 10 damn seconds. Yes, Iâm aware thereâs card art of Atsushi and Todomatsu having a meal together, but theyâre very clearly not dating if Todomatsu is still going out with girls and holding their hands etc. Oh, speaking of Todomatsu: Your trans hc of him? Generic as fuck. Heâs not trans. Call me a transphobe, I donât give a shit, but heâs not trans. Look at the -kun animes. Heâs a guy. Where in his life would he have magically been a girl and then go right back to a guy? The time span between a 12 year old and a 21 year old isnât long enough to allow you time to transition. In that day and age, it wasnât even acceptable to be transgender. So none of the Matsus are trans, get that out of your head. Get those âautism hcsâ out of your head too, because I KNOW you hc Kara and Jyushi as autistic (and Iâm aware you used to headcanon Ichimatsu as autistic too, but weâll get to that later).
i know atsutodo isnt canon i never said it was all the âx ship is canonâ jokes are about karabita and theyre jokes dude, i just think atsutodo would be cute. why the fuck do you even care about my trans hcs?? theyre HEADCANONS they dont HURT ANYONE and like dude there are trans children out thereâŚ.. stop being a fuckface about simple headcanons what the fuck.
Lemme tell ya something. Karamatsu sure as hell isnât autistic. Literally the only reason you headcanon him as such is because you yourself claim to be autistic and because âuwu heâs m fav,,,, i relate to him,,,â. Also, I realize âjyushi is autistic xDâ headcanons are common, but JESUS FUCK itâs time for them to die. Jyushimatsu is just bizarre in and out, itâs his personality and his way of life. If youâre gonna hc him as autistic for his personality, youâre obviously ignoring his physical abilities. What about that time he cloned himself? Grew different sizes? What about how he seemingly has no bones (tentacle arms)? But oh, letâs ignore that, because heâs always got a smile on his face and he has a childish personality so DURR HEâS OBVIOUSLY AUTISTIC. Also, you used to headcanon Ichimatsu as autistic, but as soon as you started hating him you threw that headcanon out the window. This is PROOF you only headcanon your favorite characters as autistic, and thatâs some of the STUPIDEST shit ever.
literally just let people headcanon what they want if it doesnt hurt anyone, im sure in canon theyre not autistic but this is HEADCANON. and is this also to imply that just because a character can do bizarre thing with theyre body they cant also be autistic?? what the fuck does that have to do with anything??? and i didnt throw my autistic ichi hc out the window because âi hate himâ i dont even hate him im indifferent to him i hate his fanon incarnation because its stupidly out of character and one note, i also didnt even drop the autism hc for him i feel like he definitely 100% could be autistic but i just dont think about it as much because i think about other characters more than i think about him
Oh yeah, Iâd love to hear why you hate Ichimatsu so much? Shut up, I know itâs because âhhhh he abuses karaâ but thatâs fucking wrong. Listen, Ichimatsu isnât exactly my favorite either but at least I donât make him out to be a fucking asshole to Karamatsu. All of the brothers have treated Karamatsu like shit at one point or another. Theyâve thrown things at him, ditched him, called him names, ignored him, itâs a fucking trope in the anime that Karamatsu was the one to get hurt. Sure, season 2 has kinda turned that around, but the whole âIchimatsu is bitter to Karamatsuâ thing is the dynamic between them. They DO have moments where theyâre not onto each other, though. See how Ichimatsu followed Karamatsu into the woods? Remember the episode where they switched clothes? They didnât kill each other neither of those times, did they? And yes, Iâm aware Ichimatsu has hurt Karamatsu at times (the bazooka, I think smacking?) but he doesnât LITERALLY ABUSE HIM. You donât see him kicking him around, PUNCHING HIM, HITTING HIM, EVERY SECOND OF HIS LIFE. Yes, he calls him names. Yes, heâs threatened to hurt him (âIâll kill you, Shittymatsu.â) but heâs been stopped or HAS stopped every time. If he really was so intent on hurting Karamatsu, donât you think he wouldnât ignore his brothers and hurt Karamatsu anyway? But no, he didnât, and he stopped each time he grabbed Kara. Thatâs because the entire âIchimatsu despises Karamatsuâ thing is a GAG in the show. Itâs meant to be funny. Itâs not meant for your negative ass to label it as abuse and then boohoo about it every time Ichimatsu is mentioned. Thatâs not a valid reason to hate a character, hell, even Karamatsuâs seiyuu said in a Doramatsu CD that Karamatsu was just comic relief. And if youâre gonna look for a reason why Ichimatsu dislikes Karamatsu, consider the hinted and well-supported reason: Ichimatsu âhatesâ Karamatsu because of how confident he is and how he can always be himself. Ichi is insecure. Ichi is antisocial. Kara, on the other hand, can express himself and show how âcoolâ he is. Consider that Ichimatsu wants to be more like him, hence why he said heâs the ânumber one Karamatsu boyâ in that one episode.
okay this is just ridiculous i DONT HATE ICHIMATSU and i KNOW its a GAG, i KNOW they get along sometimes i KNOW all the brothers have shat on kara I KNOW THIS abuse takes many forms though and in a more serious anime the way the bros treat kara would probably be depicted as abusive, but it isnt a serious anime so its a gag and i understand that thats FINE, did you even watch the ichimatsu incident? ichimatsu got plenty fucking pissed off at karamatsu and stuff and the ânumber one karamatsu boyâ nonsense was him being concerned about how karamatsu might think of him as such not him calling himself a karamatsu boy, and yes i know the whole ichi wants to be cool and confident like kara thing i understand that but even so that wouldnt logically excuse his bitterness toward kara but again, its a gag anime so its whatever, youre also ignoring the facet of his disdain towards kara being in part because kara is also vain and ichi finds this annoying and thinks kara is fake as hell because of it there was something in i think a magazine where the bros are all asked what they think of eachother i think and i THINK ichi said something along the lines of him not liking kara because he fakes being nice for the sake of his own ego or something (which is likely ichi just having a negative image of kara rather than that actually being the case because i dont think karas that smart but who knows i dont!!) so like yâknow
In conclusion, I would like to say you need to shut the fuck up and chill with your fandoms and headcanons, realize headcanons arenât canon, and also get your head out of your ass. Youâve done so many wrong things and need to stop blaming them on others. Youâve lied, insulted, and put the blame on so many of your old friends, youâve avoided people who you deem âtoxicâ (simply because they have different opinions than you), you think people canât form their own opinions, and you donât back up your friends when theyâre getting shittalked. You act like an assoholic brat and cannot, for the life of you, open up your eyes and see this. Youâre lucky the dicktwats on your server are there for you, because if they werenât, youâd be all alone, and honestly? That seems pretty good at this point. Fits you perfectly.
i know headcanons arent canon, i know ive lied (though ive really only insulted people who were dicks to my friends and maybe blu which probably not a good thing but i mean hes also insulted me so?? even i guess??) and i regret that, im more honest now and try my best to show kindness to people who have done me and my friends no wrong, ive only ever put blame on blu i literally dont blame anyone else for anything, i dont avoid people i deem âtoxicâ i avoid people i dont get along with because if i dont get along with them then theres no reason to talk to them im gonna let them live their lives, of course i think people can form their own opinions what on earth are you talking about???? when did i not back up a friend when they got shit talked?? i dont remember that but id like to deeply apologize if i ever did, unless youre talking about when someone in my server insults blu over ykno⌠him not leaving me alone and harassing me when ive done nothing but mind my own business since the incident, then while it was kind of uncomfortable for me because i felt it was the wrong thing to do i couldnt exactly muster the words to protest it. im very sorry you feel that way im always trying to improve and i like to think that im making some level of progress in being more sensitive and kind to those around me. but also dont insult my friends they didnt do shit weve been minding our own goddamn business this entire time blu is the one who started it back up again.
Now, go back to crying in your server and soaking in self-deprication, fuckass.
yknow i get the feeling i know who this is but i dont want to jump to any conclusions so, uh, okay! see ya my dude :0c
#shut up sombre#drama /#heres to hoping this is the last thing i get abt this bc this is jus really dumb and im tryna move on over here#ask to tag /#submission

Hashtag relateable protagonist yo
Gonna give some comments on Red String Of Fate as I play it! You can get the game here and itâs actually free to play. So yeah, even as I criticise parts of it, keep that in mind! Its really great for a free short lil slice of cuteness.
Oh, but the font size is weirdly small for some reason so Iâm gonna be mostly doing cropped screenshots so you can see it thru tumblr auto resizing. Also the character sprites are very basic tbh, its like one pic that never changes throughout the game except eyes closed/eyes open and stuff. Like a lot of visual novels dont do much body language but the faces are very awkward here too. But yeah this isnât a huge criticism cos I mean its free! Its impressive they managed to pull off this much in a quick project! Iâve seen way worse VNs on steam getting huge price tags, so i honestly donât think this one should have been free, even if I have some complaints about it.
Anyway, onward!
Weâre introduced to the premise of the story- that our heroine has the magic power to see red strings that show who your true love is. And by sheer coincidence during an exam she bumps into someone else who has the power! ...aaaand also she has a best friend, I guess. Seriously I feel kinda bad for Aaron, heâs not in on the secret or anything and if you take Lukeâs route heâs just like comic relief the whole time. I wish there were more of the scenes where the three of them actually hang out as buddies.
I actually really liked the interesting ideas they had about how the red string could work! Itâs just a shame that with the static character sprites you like.. literally never see any red strings at all except on the title screen. i wish I could have seen these cool ideas!
Oh and hereâs a full screenshot so you can see the two love interests! Luke is on the left and Aaron is on the right. Luke is the mysterious other guy with the same power, Aaron is the adorable best friend who gets sidelined right away unless you pick his route. Like, I went for Luke route first cos I liked Aaron better and figured doing the best route last would be better than in DDADDS where i left the worst for last. I guess I can just hope that maybe Luke is equally sidelined on the other route? I wish neither of them were, tho, the game is best when theyâre all playing off each other as the super besties team! Oh and like lol their personalities are very simple, but again it makes sense for a short free dating sim. And a LOOOOT of big paid dating sims have equally stereotypical roles, so yeah! But anyway just remember that grey guy is Books and yellow guy is Vidyagaems. Everything about them revolves around their hobbies, in that way that doesnt happen outside of basic childrenâs cartoons. MAN I am being too harsh on this game, lol!
Again, interesting uses of the red string thing! And it also makes Aaron instantly more intriguing than Luke. I mean, just to me âhey wow a thing that should be impossible according to my superpower and maybe we can find out the mystery behind itâ is more intriguing than just âanother guy with powerâ. Like you at least have a frame of reference on how that plot will generally go, yknow? Also Iâm intrigued cos I would have just guessed that a broken string means âheâs promiscuous and doesnt want to settle downâ from the context of this scene. But its curious to think that it could mean he had a soulmate once and they DIED??? And like what, does that mean your personality changes when it happens or something? Like is it not his own fault heâs flighty and has a lot of girlfriends, that just happened cos supernaturalness? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND
Okay this is kind of a weird thing. The first scene says theyâre all in a philosophy class, but then their group assignment is science? And its just like.. make a presentation about LITERALLY ANYTHING YOU WANT. And for some reason they pick evolution, and think that everyone will pick evolution???? And Aaron says some very basic stuff about Darwin and then protagonist is like âI CANT UNDERSTAND THESE COMPLEX SCIENCE TERMSâ like.. literally the word Darwin... Basically, its a good old classic âschool life as plot point, without showing any of the school lifeâ setup. We never see any other students or hear the name of the place or get much of an idea about whatâs going on. And sadly we donât even get to see their presentation even though that was a main plot point for 75% of the game! Just timeskip to the end and theyâre all like Hey Do You Remember That Thing That We Did Offscreen... ANYWAY, MOVING ON!
A random moment I liked- protag and Luke talking about the stress of this superpower and exchanging tips on coping with it, that kinda seem like a depression or anxiety metaphor.
This is kinda the start of a very weird recurring plot thread for the protagonist.. Like.. she wants to find her soulmate but she REALLY wants to find her soulmate! She obsesses over it really melodramatically as if her life will have no purpose without love, and we hear about how sheâs been doing weird self destructive and kinda jerkass things in the name of soulmate searching. Like sheâs planned her WHOLE LIFE around it! Sheâs been working four jobs for years to save up to move to another country she knows nothing about and doesnt speak the language of, just because âmy soulmate must be far awayâ. And sheâs apparantly dumped everyone whoâs ever tried to be in a relationship with her because if they dont have the string they arenât ~really real love~ Like wow girl I am not sympathising with your perspective, this is really messed up. I hope the game actually brings up some of the problems with this and the ending isnt just finding the soulmate and everything is fine!
Aaron is cutie patoot This is like the most emotiony the sprites ever get, lol!
AARON IS CUTIE PATOOT: PART 2 also you see what I mean about them being strangely defined by their hobbies as personality
????????? Thatâs a âstupid chinese thingâ?? Not just a normal thing everyone would do? Which is called maternity leave?? Thereâs a few weird moments of stuff about china in this VN, and then they like only say at the last minute that the protagonist is half chinese. Like you put the context an hour after the thing that required it...
Randomly I like that they did a splitscreen effect for talking on the phone.
Its conspicuously weird that they have no character portrait for this guy, he gets no dialogue, and he really does nothing in the plot. So it makes you wonder why they even mentioned him?
Also look at protagâs cool bedroom!
Also look at Lukeâs cool bedroom! The background design is super good in this game!
WHO DOES THIS??? Its weird that Luke finds it cute and charming when Iâd just call her rude and be super embarassed at people ruffling thru my things without asking Anyway he has A Bunch Of Rare First Edition Books and also A Library Room because He Is The Books Man But it is a nice bit of backstory that he got the rare books as a gift from his deceased grandpa. I MOURN YOU ALREADY, MYSTERY GRAMPS
YOU DID WHAT seriously.. what?? you canât sexualize eating candy, game
AWW! Every now and again they actually do have pretty good chemistry! âBut I just want to be friends!â *mumble mumble* âweâre friendsâ Grumpy shy book man does care!
Though as of this point they havenât really had much else of chemistry, it all moves very fast and I feel like this scene maybe should have been earlier? Like seriously we go straight from âI just met this guy, all I know is that he hates having his superpowers and I love itâ and then they get put on a group project and then Friends Now. The game has a lot of soft timeskips thatâre never really indicated, which causes a bit of confusion. There is a bit of nice continuity here tho, cos you get the choice to either keep arguing about the superpowers or drop it and try and just be friends. Either way the game follows the same conclusions, but you get a lil bonus bit of dialogue mentioning how things were super tense for a while but eventually you became friends anyway thanks to the group project.
This Scene Is Weird Apparantly one of protagâs billion jobs is at a library, and she sees Luke checking out books and makes fun of him? And like from this response I thought he was checking out lesbian porno or something but apparantly he was just checking out poetry? What the hell is wrong with a LITERATURE STUDENT checking out poetry?? When did poetry become a no men thing, was it around the time it was a male dominated field, like novels? >_> And its all kinda pointless cos she ends up being perfectly nice to him about the poetry later and even talks about how she likes poetry too, so wow hypocrite much
There is a nice dialogue choice tho, the two of them talk about a poem and the different interpretations of it, and you get to choose which you prefer as the player. Luke prefers if you agree that the satirical interpretation is better, cos apparantly he Hates Love And Such Which leads us into...
...what. Seriously this game is so weirdly melodramatic about love, even for a visual novel! the whole main conflict of the protagonist is about âwah what if i never fall in love, my life would have no meaningâ and also dumping everyone no matter how much you like them cos ~magical destiny is the only real one~ and now weâre like OH GOD WHAT A TRAGEDY THE ONLY REASON SOMEONE COULD WANT TO BE SINGLE IS BECAUSE A DEEP TRAUMA MADE THEM STOP BELIEVING IN LOVE like seriously dude just has a mild amount of skepticism towards overly cheesy romance novel depictions of love, thats like a minor and super common difference of opinion, not a deep plot twist
...seriously? âyou cant read books unless you read books about loveâ like yo i wouldnt even say books are remotely near the top ten most sex-obsessed mediums of all time. music and film are way worse!
Again weird comments about china. Is this really a thing that happens? High class chinese people visit chinese restaurants more often than poor white people? Like, I dunno, I just feel like uninformed white folks who undervalue the work that goes into making foreign food and reduce its reputation to takeaway-only are SLIGHTLY the majority of customers youâd get...
Again, melodrama. Not much has actually happened yet except we met the two boys, we got put in a study group together, and we chose to study with Luke instead of party with Aaron. But like interspersed is a whole bunch of Drama that feels a bit forced, with the lack of real situations causing it. like here sheâs just walking through the park and wants to cry because she.... sees that straight people exist. Me too, lol. no but really she just sees that One Other Couple Exists In The World and she starts wanting to cry in the middle of the park and like.. the only thing keeping you from dating someone is your obsessive belief that they cant be your real love if they dont have this magical signal of destiny. And then she just reiterates her crazy ass plan to drop her studies and fly off on a world tour to test her string against every other human on earth and find her soulmate...
SEE THE SCENES OF THEM BEING BESTIES ARE AWESOME Iâm way less invested in this love triangle and more invested in them just succeeding in their group project!
NO, I REALLY WISH I COULD HAVE seriously we dont see ANY of the group project, it just timeskips to them celebrating their victory. and this means we dont get to see many scenes of luke and aaron interacting, sadly :(
LOOK AT THEM THEY ARE SO CUTE ALL TOGETHER I LOVE AND SUPPORT THEIR FRIENDSHIP also its kinda funny that the game barely has any changes on the character sprites yet it has really great and detailed CG images. I feel like maybe if you prioritized these less it could have led to a more consistant experience?
FINALLY SOMEONE IS CALLING HER OUT, GEEZ
NOOOOOO Thats not the POINT, game! The point is that itâd be stupid and self destructive even if she succeeded! And she probably could have had a happier life if she didnt do this, even if she succeeds! AND SHE PROBABLY WILL HAVE BETTER HEALTH AND NOT BE IN DEBT AND NOT BE DEPRESSED COS SHEâS OBSESSED WITH THIS DESTINY SHIT
Just to prove that this is indeed the actual plot of the game, she really is planning to fly across the world for the sake of this shit
Also this line raises a lot of questions. Do asexual people not exist in this universe? or just people who never want to get married and only want casual sex or whatever? or does it mean they still have red strings but they look different? Also this game seems to define it pretty distinctly as only heterosexual destiny strings here, so like would gay people not have strings or would they have differently coloured strings? or is she just assuming all soulmates are the opposite sex simply because sheâs straight and she didnt think about the alternative? or cos the writer didnât? or maybe the writer did and it was just awkwardly written so it raised these questions in my head...?
^ and hereâs the bit where she mentions sheâs part chinese suddenly at the last moment, and also heâs part japanese too. Which made me a bit worried actually cos she mentioned asia as one of the random places she was gonna search first for her soulmate, and I thought maybe this means heâs her soulmate. But thankfully thats not the way the plot went and it actually does discuss the topic of destiny in more detail!
also that is cute
