#with chapter 5

[jacksmusesdrv3]

Currently on page 90 of this blog in the deepest of rabbit, er, bear...? holes over this game. Coincidentally I was watching BSG's playthrough when I found this page, and you've managed to completely sell me on your twins theory even if I don't think the game actually meant it I love this theory and it's Canon to me now. I'd love to talk to you more about....Basically everything you've talked about here if you're interested.

Oh- hello! Sorry to answer like this and late- unfortunately I am very overwhelmed and Stuck at this moment in time (with... just about everything on here, even talking in any depths) so that may be a struggle at least right now. At times like these I will just be in the 'vibe' zone for a bit trying to get necessary fuel back (through BSG for one, also doing playlists and absorbing fan-works)-

-but as I am right now I will be crashing into walls forever if I don't sort this issue out (one issue is with summarising- it's why I started again to make a smaller version of the long-meta but... got stuck on that). I'm very sorry ;; but thank you for sharing that with me! I do appreciate knowing this, that's very cool to know~

( Note: I've saved the other ask for the moment in the inbox as I'm not sure if you want that posted or not? :0 )

More fic art? Yes, absolutely. This time one of my all-time favourites Exactly What It Looks Like by @bilbosmom-belladonna. It's cute, hot, and funny. What more could you want?

I hold the firm belief that if someone slapped Vil and yelled at him a little bit before he overblotted, he wouldn’t have gone haywire.

I think if they had switched how people reacted with Riddle and Vil, we would’ve saved two overblots. Riddle just wanted some comfort and recognition that he was going through a hard time and needed a hug. Vil wanted someone to keep him accountable.

Rook and Kalim gave Vil empathy and reassured him that he hadn’t made a fatal mistake, which would’ve helped Riddle calm down and think rationally. Ace decked Riddle to make him own up to his crimes and behavior, which Vil would’ve benefited from.

That’s what I’m doing in my first Vil fanfic. I’m having MC smack Vil into not overblotting. I’m having a bit too much fun.

Idk how we would’ve ever defused the Riddle situation… probably by pulling him aside and giving him a hug or something… Aww, wait, that might work and be cute. Awwww, I can see that. Tell me if you think so too and I might write it later.

Let your thoughts in the comments lol. Let me know if your excited. I like people’s comments. It’s fun

(I love drawing Jamil's grabby hands when he's upset lol)

(Book5 spoilers incoming!)

No but on a more serious note. I focused on Jamil here coz my boi just can't catch a break, but the truth is that Book5, for as much as I love it, really doesn't have a satisfying ending.

It's not a matter of "we lost" and me being salty about it, obviously it was very important for Vil's character arc.

Buuuuut... Well, it wasn't the only character arc started in this Book. All previous Books were (mostly) completely focused on the overblotter and the previous overblotter that joined the frayed to help out. Here we don't just have a continuation of Jamil's character arc, there was also Epel and Deuce who got a big thing, and Kalim had a throwaway line that never got anywhere (and I'm salty about it. I wished we heard more about how he felt competitiveness towards Jamil for the first time).

In the context of Jamil and Epel's character arc mostly, losing the SDC is extremely unsatisfying. Jamil finally got handed the spotlight and accepted it, and he still failed. Even when he get the one thing he wants he still ends second. Nothing changes. Rip my forever Number Two loser.

Epel also got a whole arc about accepting to weaponize his cuteness. It falls flat. His finally using his cuteness doesn't make the team win, he doesn't one up Neige, he doesn't fulfill his role as Vil's poisonous apple. Just bad.

If they really just focused on Vil for this Book like they did in previous Books, that ending would have been much stronger. But with the numerous character arcs there, I feel like there should have been another way so that they could all have their respective good ending.

There, I'm done with my rant. Here's a bonus:

[marsreds]

honestly, knowing that henderson was supposed to be an one-off character but endo liked him so much he kept him and then henderson gets what's honestly the best, most tightly plotted, most blatantly political [tee hee old guy with monocle bc monocles are Elegant™ → actually he only started needing it after the police beat the crap out of him for calling out the mythologizing of the war machine, like. holy shit] arc in the manga so far?

god tier tbh
