#this became a whole essay or smth lol

[vanillaxoshi]

Someone mentioned the plot holes or new problems the new episode created. Since BBB's elements never reverted back to being tier 1 whenever he was tired. And even then, being tired that much doesn't make any sense, since in movie 2, he fought Tok Kasa in triple split form, lost Gempa, reverted back, splits again, and fused 3 times!! And not one did any of those Elements, reverted back to tier 1.

It's like, their writing became so lazy, trying to appease the younger audience. So many things from the comics were rewritten or flat out gone. They really avoided Gempa and Hali.

I really wanted to see the fox too back in Sori, no lawyer Gopal. No mushroom people.

I don't remember the reason why they only have 6 episodes. It's really disappointing. Kinda wished they just continued the comic animation like they did for the Sori arc. I would've preferred that honestly.

Sorry for the rant. I just really love your takes on the BoBoiBoy situations and I have no one to talk to about it since my friend still hasn't caught up to movie 2 and beyond

As much as i like that drawback, that’s true on how it doesnt make sense at that moment. But that happening in Movie 2 really explains Boi’s 7 day coma from what i remember, Monsta adds things along the way from what’s seen throughout the series, which isn’t bad, but its not really thought out well.

Which i also would like to question is how weird it is for Oakutuat fruit can activate third tier just by being consumed, not by an upgrade from the watch that had been like that so from movie 1, where Ochobot gives the power watches an upgrade through the last of his energy

The watches, though i don't know how it initially functions, in terms of logic, i would just assume the watch passes it’s energy through it’s host’s body and process it something physical through mental capability, so the explanation for the drink to upgrade the watch is the same process but the opposite way. If it had been explained already, then feel free to correct me but for now, this will be my assumption/explanation to myself from how they were able to upgrade the watch in a sense

It's like, their writing became so lazy, trying to appease the younger audience. So many things from the comics were rewritten or flat out gone. They really avoided Gempa and Hali. I really wanted to see the fox too back in Sori, no lawyer Gopal. No mushroom people. I don't remember the reason why they only have 6 episodes. It's really disappointing. Kinda wished they just continued the comic animation like they did for the Sori arc. I would've preferred that honestly.

I want to be considerate from their choices at certain parts of the show, it's true they're leaning unto the younger audience more, but that type of reason does not excuse lazy writing, Their writing isn't straight up horrible, but it isn't the far out best either, just neutral.

They are still able to entertain their audience, even if some are disappointed and provide more additional quirks of their characters, those quirks can provide more ideas for the fans to produce their own content about the show, but once more, they shouldn't just go down that path and let their fans replace or do what they expected from the show.

I would understand the reasons why they had to change certain scenes, mostly because of limited episodes, which are 6 episodes per arc to fit it into 24 episodes to complete the season, and they also separated Gurlatan to have it's own movie to produce it more better, and the many changes were to fit the themes more. The Sori changes were made due to the limited episodes, which again, I understand.

For the younger audience part, I think i should bring up the ask that had pointed out about the Boboibot arc, because thats a good reason to say that the recent seasons and episodes dont really need to be more comedic and can lead on a more deeper darker topic, and if they say 'its a children's show you cant show that to kids' yeah, you can, if they're considered too horrific, then make it a bit lighter, it's not needed to fully change it.

Especially since season 2- movie 1 of original boboiboy was shifting to a more darker tone, I was shocked to see Ejojo being in a whole incubator and have his entire limb torned off, its was horrific but i liked it bringing a more serious tone for the future, a new danger to become. That might not be the case for some kids, but those type of things bring a more developed understanding kids can learn about and stuff who knows, and that's when deeper topics are brought up,

im sure that can be answered more better from other shows. And bringing in more of those types of stories can perhaps expand imagination stories too. not saying that the present ones dont do that, just saying. the next episodes arent fully even out yet im making a whole deduction about this.

but i guess this feels like a missed opportunity to kids, especially if you add deep topics related to the main characters, for example, Fang's moment of grief with the old man in the comic,

one could argue, that the comic is there to be of satisfaction for some people, The comic did came out first and brought out more of the creative minds of the comic writers and artists, which is great, but that means it just provided an available path that the show could've gone on

who knows maybe Fang's instance of grief or his lost of his family from his backstory could've resonated with some children who experienced the same matter. If it's too dark for some kids then let me bring up the quote "comfort the disturb and disturb the comforted"

and im sure its possible to enact that since some kids would not really care if those matters are involved, it's nice to resonate these type of things to children, for an example is the bluey show giving out experiences of how children handle their struggles and how the parents help, it genuinely shows the kids and adults different ways to handle the things they feel that are presented in the show.

this topic too was brought up to where i saw a video talking about Tangled and mother gothel's gaslighting and abuse. Someone on the comment section stated that watching the movie made them realized that they were in abusive household

who knows maybe you can stop a kid from doing slavery by showing them slavery and portraying it as bad, who knows, and if they ask what those topics mean to their parents and their parents complain about it instead of teaching it or explaining it then thats not really the show's fault, is it? i dont know, they could just see these from other kids shows.

also, it's not bad to make things more lighthearted, but yeah.

i've typed too much

[rivangel]

Hey, it’s the RtS anon again✌️

I just. UGHH. What if Hange or someone else close to Levi/Erwin resented him for giving Armin the syringe? At first I didn’t get why the hell he did that and even hated his decision, i think many people did as well (and still do lol) i even hated him for a hot second because Erwin seemed like the most logical choice atm (panicked monkey brain)

we know he doesn’t regret it (final episode), BUT STILL.

WHAT THEN??? HOW WOULD HE DEAL WITH SOMEONE HE CARES ABT RESENTING HIS DECISION??? My poor pookies are doomed by the narrative fr💀

oh god i’ve written a whole 6k essay explaining levi’s choice and made countless posts about it serum bowl. i know u meant in the moment but i'll add the main post here cuz im proud of it :')

but LITERALLY i’ve made a post or two wondering about hange’s feelings towards levi bc of the choice too😭😭😭it's me analyzing levihan's relationship, but here's my answer:

in one of the official fanarts, it’s HIGHLY hinted at that levi and hange were headed to visit erwin’s grave together.

but i think it’s practically a given that hange doubted levi’s choice.

even before liberio, hange harbored tons of self-doubt, but they could still be optimistic. then when eren threw them into a war, their leadership came very much into question for them. also, they wanted to save commander erwin to the end: they even held mikasa back and gave her an entire speech about making impossible choices, and how one day you would have to prepare to say goodbye to everyone you’ve ever met.

but would hange and levi ever have argued about it?? definitely not. after erwin died, it’s canon that levi struggled to consume anything other than tea, and it became his ONE goal to fulfill “erwin’s last order”, which was actually a promise levi made to him - even if he could do nothing else.

im getting sidetracked by eruri the point is that hange knew how much levi struggled to make that choice and the utter hell of grief that ensued. they always supported him, and in turn, levi did the same. he definitely threw all his energy into helping hange recover from their eye injury and for them to take on their new responsibilities so he wouldn’t have to focus on his own turmoil at all, so he could be useful.

however something - rather someone - that's never considered is what nile would've thought. nile and erwin's friendship was complicated, but they knew each other since they were recruits, and nile knew erwin well enough to know (in s1 when annie appeared) that erwin had smth to do with a titan wreaking havoc in stohess.

(marie was probably the complication but anyway)

we're never told what nile thought about levi personally. given they don't know each other that well, i wonder if nile would've trusted erwin (and by extension levi), OR tried - even made a scene - out of getting a proper answer out of levi why he killed his friend for a child (to no avail, of course). there's a very real possibility to me that nile may have tried to get levi court martialed or something like that.

i really wish the anime explored stuff like this more...

[stupidloafofbread]

Hai :3

I have recently been seeing you make posts on this thing called "what remains of edith finch" soooo what is it exactly? It seems interesting, and you seem like an expert on it too so, can you give me like...and essay? Lol, seems kwool :]

..

YOUR ASKING ME TO EXPLAIN MY FAVORITE THING?! YEAHHH-

Okay so! (As I write this, I'm watching ranboo play it for the 100th time-)

WRoEF is a story-type game!

I'll add a read more because this might be long - (as I have an obsession with it.)

Also possible TW: Death (both child death and death in general-)

You play as a 17 year old girl named Edith (I wanna change my name to Edith irl✨) who's returning to her childhood home after inheriting it from her late mother, Dawn Finch. Edith, who's trying to find out more about her family, ends up finding out that there's these "Secret passageways" in the house and the doors are sealed shut (forgot to mention that and I'm sorry-)

Anyways. She opens one of the secret passageways and goes through it and ends up in one of the sealed up rooms: Molly's room, who was technically the second Finch to die but the first person we sorta lean about?

In Molly's story, you play as her (Molly) on the night of her death. She was sent to be without dinner and when asking her mom:

"Mom, can I come out now?" (Molly)

"Sweetheart, it's late. Go to sleep." (her mom/Edith Sr)

So what happened? Well Molly goes around her room looking for something to eat and what does she eat?: toothpaste, Some fake hollyberries (idk if i spelled that right-) and a dried carrot next to some gerbil shit. (Literally-) Next thing we know, she finds a barn sallow outside her window! Now, I think this next part is a dream- she opens the window and goes to jump at the bird (keep in mind there's a lil chain to keep the window from opening enough for her to go through it) and suddenly, SHE'S A DAMN CAT.

Long story short for Molly, she then became a fuckin owl, a shark then a fuckin octopus or smth that has tentacles ;-; she then wakes up and writes the last thing we/Edith reads in her journal

"And we both know,"

"I.."

"Will.."

"Be...delicious."

Or smth like that

Anyway, I won't say all the deaths but pretty much, whole family ded

Now there's one death in the game that impacted me (and some other ppl) pretty hard:

Gregory's death.

For him, you play as a one year old baby in a tub. You have some toys, and which you control a wind-up toy frog. After a while, the mother (Kay) attempts to get Gregory outta the tub but gets interrupted by her ex-husband, Sam Finch. She talks with him and you continue to play as Gregory.

For the final time, Kay drains the bathtub right as Sam Calls again. Somehow, Gregory turns the damn tub thingy (forgot what it's called) back on and the tub fills up with water, drowning the baby

Now I suggest watching a playthrough of it :3

Me personally, would 100% recommend watching Ranboo play it (it's funny to me-)

I do have a whole lotta theories on what could've happened to some of them lol

:3

If I could've rambled more without spoiling anything else, would I?

YES

[common-blackbird]

Started!

This is my Inquisitor (so overjoyed you can be a qunari), her name is the default Herah and I decided I’m going to approach this game by staying true to a character and not looking to do everything and be on everyone’s good side u_u

I want to make a good background for her so i’m not telling anything. Yet. I’ll just say she’s a qunari mercenary and prefers using two-handed weapons.

Highlights from today:

Studying history does pay off! This was a reference to the famous book in environmental history - Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. So proud i recognised it x)

Also i don’t have a good shot of solas but he cracks me up so much.. The guy has a posture of the typical retired grandpa (the only thing missing is to have him walk with his hands on his back). And there’s a scene where the party sees the rift and there’s the inquisitor facing it, cassandra bracing herself and solas... just standing like an old man

On a side note, Cassandra is so gorgeous and good and i already love her, i just keep taking shots of her TAT

As for varric, it’s so different than from da2, this is so much more “official” and you can see he’s the same as ever, but you’re not hawke, hawke’s not here, the gang’s not here and there’s nothing casual about the whole situation T-T

And lastly, my inquisitor has a horse now, i didn’t know that was possible in the game ;__;

played some more...

Let  me start with.... The advisors! (+ cassandra... or is she also an advisor too?)

What a bunch. I love Cassandra’s and Leliana’s faith having a crisis bc they believe that Inquisitor is the Herald of Andraste and the way they deal with it. It’s really interesting. Leliana is completely opposite than what she was in origins and i’m surprised it doesn’t bother me at all! I love seeing this whole darker side that was only hinted at in origins, though it’s also sad when i think how she used to be. I wonder how she’s gonna overcome her doubting of faith. 

Josephine is a delight. I keep using her for almost every war table mission for now. She radiates capability. She reminds me of those bureaucrats that are super nice and helpful and chill and even if you’re doing everything wrong she’ll just smile and say “it’s ok, we can fix it” and then goes and fixes everything herself (and you feel this insane amount of gratitude you send a whole separate email to thank her for her patience and help )

As for Cullen... It’s interesting... I got impression from what i saw in the fandom that he’s supposed to have had his allegiance changed and him rejecting the templars should have been him ultimately siding with the mages (or at least being anti-templar(?)), and that turning point that could have been a great way to show his character development during the game. Which i agree, only... i did not get that impression from the game so far at all. I mean, so far everything that i can remember him saying is totally smth he’d say in da2... He didn’t leave kirkwall bc of his disappointment with the templar order, he doesn’t seem to have any issues with the templars except those who go full war mode instead of trying to balance the situation. And it’s a really chaotic situtation, i love how they did it.

This line was amazing, i wish there was a special cutscene for that.

I’m loving the way they made this huge religious organisation in crisis have a complete collapse with the death of a key figure. I love the concept of inquisition and problems that it poses. I love you can see everyone’s reasoning and doubts reflect their background, but also see why inquisition can be understood as another power-grasping organisation trying to topple the templars, the mages and the chantry. Everything is divided. We got templars leaving the chantry, seekers leaving the chantry(?), rebel mages, loyal mages, rebel mages gone rouge, templars gone rouge, and suddenly there’s another organisation forming that you can totally believe is just another powerhungry force trying to get the piece of the cake by taking advantage of the power vacuum left by the sudden lack of the religious authority. (and only we know we’re The Good Guys). I love that we have characters who need to believe in the greater plan, characters who question the greater plan, and characters who want to utilise the power of belief and characters who don’t care for divine plans. The chaos is real and it feels real. I love that the centre figure of the whole holy business is a heretic of another culture. For the chantry this is the lose-lose situation (unless the inquisitor becomes religious by the end of the game). Which is why this line works so well. 

Ok, now shorter updates:

Red Jenny! I know it’s not her actual name but it is in my head. Where’s that box i delivered ages ago >_> Anyways, she makes my brain work on 150% capacity. I can understand what she means only after i go over it for 5 times.

Forgive me but oh my god, i can’t believe that i can recognise one voice actor and now i have another mental image whenever he speaks. Like, he’s really good at bringing out a new character, but when he gets more casual he sounds like kanan jarrus from star wars rebels and i’m just “what are you doing here, space dad” ;__; Hopefully it’ll get old and i’ll be enjoying more iron bull. he seems nice...

Vivienne on the other hand is like a reverse Josephine(?) She seems insanely capable but hates customer service, however somehow she likes you very much and will do everything you need for reasons you can’t fathom. Have a screenshot. So classy. I already feel humbled.

and lastly, BREAKING NEWS: aveline finally hired carver ;__;

Tbh Kirkwall is still a mystery and i have so many questions but i don’t think i’ll get any answers... If a powervacuum of the divine cause this much chaos, how’s kirkwall faring without a new viscount? Like, yeah, aveline can keep in check, but umm it’s in a very vulnerable state which makes it a good target for any invasion... didn’t sebastian promise bloodshed?

That’s all for now, bc otherwise i’ll start writing an essay on cassandra.

We befriended a bear in the hinterlands!

lets start with this cool shot

so, i have been to the mages and to the templars and... i sided with the templars.... First i was all for mages since they offered negotiations while the seeker just walked away, but then it turned out that was a trap, there’s also tevinter mages there (which is a red flag for my inquisitor) and then there’s some time magic involved (which is a big no for me), and i just walked out. Felt bad for the mages but my inquisitor comes from a culture where mages have their tongues cut so...

Also this guy deserves a medal for putting up with corrupted superiors and annoying nobles.

And i met cole ;__; Where are Rhys and Evangeline ;___;

the templar mission was ok i guess... I was surprised that red lyrium was apparently circulating around for some time, not sure if that means since meredith or even before. I love the stories of corruption tho and to imagine what it’s like to be trapped in this organisation that just keeps breaking everything it stands for

As for the important mages, i’ve Dorian twice since i bailed out on him in Redcliffe :I I love the guy, he seems arrogant yet so kind (like, no one would have carried that annoying priest and yet he did, after he ran from his own people to warn us after i ditched him in Redcliffe? man ;A;) Every time i go with “ok the inquisitor fears tevinter and distrusts this rando who just popped in” i am marinating in guilt.

and then we fight some mages and die several times but we succeed and we meet the bad guy...

Is it an unpopular opinion to say that i like him as a villain so far? i saw so many jokes on his incompetency. Idk, i like that part where he said that he reached the fade in someone’s name, it makes me think he’s not just power-hungry person(?) who’s just evil,but was originally serving someone, and he said that the gods were either gone or corrupted and he spent hundreds of years thinking what to do with whatever happened so he seems like he knows what he’s doing and maybe(!just maybe) he is trying to fix things that are wrong but we can’t see that? And of course he hates the inquisitor, he has to redo his stuff all over again, i’d hate the inquisitor too. im probably looking too much into it. My wish is that, if he’s evil, he became so gradually, but originally had good intentions? Or there’s more to things going on that we just don’t know and he does... Maybe this was his tragic attempt to fix things but he would ultimately fail and be branded as a villain etc etc. I’m getting carried away

If it turns out he’s just evil for the sake of being evil then feel free to tell me so now so i don’t embarrass myself further with plotting myself lol.

A side note, is he the Architect? Or the same? In DA2 he says he’s a tevinter magister, right? and he ceased to be a human. Also in DA2 it seemed like he was the boss, and here he said he reached in the name of someone (probably more important than him). But what is the Architect then?

And with that we reach the skyhold.

in skyhold

I didn’t know you meet hawke so soon ;__; i thought that was like, somewere more to the end of the game, since the big decision and all. But the mission is already opened and i am going to procrastinate on it until i finish every side mission :<

Also he is so sad ;__; i understand, but at the same time... all that humour now bitter sarcasm :’(

(also, very shallow remark, but i really really prefer his looks in da2 than here... it’s like they softened him. He’s more...oh god idk bearish(???) than hawkish(????) you know what i mean? the nose isn’t as sharp anymore, the beard is... what is it with the beard... anyways i get the game has its limits so it’s fine. it’s fine! fine.)

then there was the fight that i remember since twitter >:D

It’s what made me want to play dragon age and i finally reached it T-T so good! I love how you can see the both sides and everything they say is true but they’re so angry at themselves they’re taking it out on each other TAT

Cassandra later says Hawke probably wouldn’t have joined the inquisition even if she found him, and i wonder now if that’s true... At first i thought, nah, Hawke has too much of a hero complex, he would feel too responsible to just say no. Besides, he’s with the inquisition now (tho i can’t find him anywhere anymore!). But at the same time, the way da2 ends was such an iconic walking away from everything, and not taking into account the hocus-pocus rift stuff, i can imagine him refusing, especially seeing how bitter he is now. It’s also a question of how much would have cassandra told him i guess. idk, what do you think? Would he lead or nah?

another person i want to find but can’t in skyhold are the templars with ser barris. i can use them on war table missions but otherwise they’re non-existant? i forgot to talk to him back in haven but now i wonder if it was even possible and if he was even available there, since he isn’t here. I spent hours just running around skyhold looking for the guy :(

and then everything becomes unimportant bc aaaaa!! she! is the arcanist! Dagna! im so happy and proud(?) she went and reached her goals x)

anyways that’s all for now, laters

some random updates:

so i did the halamshiral and gave up to my “stick to the character” mode, and nothing went my way, but that’s life. Met morrigan! i almost forgot she appears lol. And, despite also jumping on the wagon of give-morrigan-better-clothes train, i have to admit seeing her in her old clothes was a relief after that dress at the ball. It’s not the way the dressed looked, but the way she moved in it... god im shallow

i also initially didn’t like morrigan being at orlais court of all places, but after the conversation that’s supposed to explain why she’s there i’m kinda ok with it. I mean, i still need some more info. Wouldn’t Tevinter be better? she’d practically become a magister overnight if she got this good in the game so fast. It’s also unconvincing how everyone knows everything in orlais but somehow nobody connected that the random kid that has no bakcground whatsoever with morrigan who keeps checking on him? But at skyhold she’s just “hey i have a kid, he’s no trouble, right?”  but hey, it’s morrigan. She can do anything. I’ll just have another story idea in my head.

Then there was news of the new divine that could be either cassandra or leliana and i don’t honestly know whom to choose. I’d prefer leliana over cassandra simply bc cassandra is more of a military mind, while the position of the divine would be more political. But lately every mission with leliana was spy spy, kill kill... Do we really want that for a religious leader? On the other hand, it would nicely round up her story from origins to inquisition... But cassandra is more of a public figure than leliana is...

when cassandra said:

“I want to respect the tradition, but not fear change. I want to right the past wrongs, but not avenge them. And I have no idea if wanting any of them makes them right.”

great moment. She’s usually so convinced and rash, i forget she’s more doubtful and open minded than what she looks like. Everything about cassandra is different from the impression she gives ;__; I love her so so so so much. (when she says she considers the inquisitor her friend i melted, next time varric pulls up the “seeker has no friends” joke, my heart will no longer be breaking).

I did a bunch of personal missions. Some were cool, some were ????. Also there were war table missions with zevran, that was cool. Also i love the codex entries in skyhold. The archery competition with varric banned? Dancing lessons failing bc lace harding is on the move all the time? Perfect.

And i met chargers, i like them, and aaah that staff-bow from the trailer is such a cool idea ;A;

What i don’t get with bull’s chargers is - they’re a mercenary group right? But isn’t swordselling seen as the complete misunderstanding of the qun? I get only bull is qunari, but he’s the leader of them? How is that not frowned upon?

And lastly, i don’t think i’ve said this, but i love that they added codex entries in the loading screens. love it.

update

After months of procrastination, i have faced my fears and have met alistair. it was very anticlimatic beating 11 level monsters when i was level 21...

but.. ALISTAIR TAT He’s changed... but not changed... but changed! Like, his personality is the same, but he’s more serious, doesn’t run from responsibilities, isn’t as bitter as hawke (also, why do i get impression that i am supposed to get the impression that they’re friends? they’ve met like, once, and talked for less than a minute.. whatevs. let’s pretend they’ve met again when on the run), i really love the inquisition alistair ;;__;;

Also, i managed to get that awkward demon baby family reunion :D

 know that morrigan says the vaguest generic thing “i told him his father was a good man” bc of various world states, but i also think she’s come a long way not to mock alistair, and then when he notices that she didn’t use the opportunity he mentions that the kid changed her and she’s like “pfft, yea right, you wish”....

... when she was the one who said that in the first place ;;__;;

Awwww :> I love that they bicker but softly. Kids have grown up :’) Anyways, when will alistair start paying alimony

The only weird one is Leliana bc when morrigan was introduced she was like “danger danger” (smth i’d sooner think alistair would do), and when alistair is (supposedly) in skyhold, Leli doesn’t even mention him, only hawke.  bruh, what were they to you, you almost died together ;;__;;

oh i also slayed a dragon.  I didn’t even want to fight that dragon. It was a hillarious feat of inquisitor, solas, cole and blackwall, all on level 21, having to chug all the health potions right at the beginning while fighting a dragon that was... level 13, after which i just let go of controls and suddenly everyone was hella good at fighting and slayed it (only cole needed revival several times).  

And, befitting the wild-dream feel that it had, when i got back to skyhold and visited companions, suddenly i was drinking pelin with iron bull, and he’s reminiscing on that fight with the dragon and i’m like

it was awful and you weren’t even there.

i forgot to update

but last time i was playing i finished the hawke/alistair sacrifice and all the torture i went through with deciding whom to sacrifice vanished bc frankly, at one moment, i wanted to sacrifice both of them, but in the end it was much more easier to sacrifice hawke bc inquisition hawke just didn’t feel like hawke to me, while alistair improved since the origins!

and now i remembered why i didn’t update, in the same day cassandra rejected me so i was sad and didn’t continue playing since then (i think last time i played it was around easter?)

new update

BLACKWALL!! or should i say Thom Rainier? Wow, what an arc! It was also so fun bc i was all strict mode, picking the third option, telling him his life is in inquisitor’s hands and all that, but in the end i set him free. He’s so good, a true knight T-T

Also i romanced sera. we’ll see how that goes.

Also, fave point in the game so far, i wanted, for so long, to sit at that val roeayoux (can’t spell) cafe and finally did it with cole’s personal mission. THANK YOU COLE YOU TRULY CAN READ PEOPLE’S MINDS.

another interesting thing was that after specialising as a reaver, cassandra said that drinking dragon blood makes you grow scales and become mad. Iron Bull said that inquisitor smells better bc dragon blood and that qunari generally smell better than humans. So i’m guessing qunari have fractions of dragon in them? ok...

*squid game spoilers so dont read this if u want to watch it or smth* but i wanted to give my input on sangwoo and ppl hating the character. people not liking sangwoo is just surface level "not liking people who are not loyal and would betray their friends" , which is fair. its fair to be annoyed at a character u trusted and be like "omg we trusted u how dare u", especially when the character they betrayed was someone nice and someone who didn't deserve it. but sangwoo's character development was necessary, in my opinion. there were other contestants who were blatantly evil and didn't care about anyone but winning and so them cheating on a game is a given. but sangwoo was genuinely nice in the beginning. he wasn't pretending when they all promised to stick together and trust each other, he was actually nice. i think he just became ambitious, to the extent of becoming a lil bit evil, and he wanted to win .... which is human nature, it is a reflection of humans who are good natured and genuinely kind but can easily become morally lost when something u really want is so close but so far, and its also just the human nature of wanting to win. and i think having his character become sort of "evil" improved the progression of the plot. when it is the top 3 and the top 2, sangwoo's presence increases the unpredictability of what happens next. if the three of them were still nice, then predictably, they would play the game nicely and fairly and whoever dies, dies. but because sangwoo betrayed someone before, and we see the potential of him being somewhat cruel to a friend, we, as the viewer, don't know whats going to happen. like sangwoo could pull another betrayal, you know what i mean? so the suspense is still there. so thats why i think sangwoo becoming "'evil" was necessary, it kept the suspense in the last few episodes and it raised the stakes a lil bit more, like the potential of friends betraying friends, instead of evil guys vs. good guys like in the first few episodes. but this is just my opinion LOL not this whole essay, but i just wanted to see what u think

oh yeah i agree, i think it was definitely necessary and done on purpose for the continuation of the show!! like as u said, nobody wants to see a bad guy vs good guy ending, and imo that wouldve gone against the actual subtextual purpose of the show. like the show was so morally grey, so it only makes sense that the ending follows the same algorithm and puts characters who were once friends against each other.

i stand by my opinion that he shouldve won, especially bcs that wouldve been such a plot twist (bcs tbh there werent big plot twists anyways…….), and imo it wouldve fitted better the moral greyness of the show (since yeah theyre both guilty and grey but gi hun was more “good” if yk what i mean). like the ending was basic and just not that good overall imo
