I probably have actual thoughts on things, but I'm mostly using this space to act hornier and gayer than I do in other spaces.

Out of curiosity, any thoughts on Danganronpa Despair Time since you referenced it in your Edens Garden post?
it's impressive they made something so thorough on their own and kept a digestible scope, but as someone whose background is in writing it is startlingly clear that the DTDev's background is not (iirc, they even admitted such after the release of chapter 2). if i had to pick between them, i would choose despair time, but to me it's like asking which leg i'd like broken.
it was much longer than i expected so uh, here's a break. also obvious spoilers and negative opinions inbound so if that's a sensitivity maybe scroll past this one:
quite frankly teruko is one of the most insufferable protagonists i've ever fucking seen in anything period. until she gets shanked by whatshisface (i'm legitimately blanking on his name. was it michael? the british dude with one eye) she has legitimately no real character outside of complaining about her bad luck and once she is shanked she becomes an extremely generic edgelord, complete with getting a black-coat makeover to show how deep dark and edgy she is now. i don't really enjoy throwing around the term since it's one steeped in so much misogyny it really isn't funny, but i genuinely cannot find any other words to describe teruko other than 'mary sue'. she repeatedly fucks over the people around her both through accidents and deliberate actions yet though she goes on and on about how she's more punished than her peers, she never really suffers a single consequence for being a shithead, the others are still willing to throw their safety on the line for her where they don't for other characters.
at best, the rest of the characters are bland copy-pastes of canon DR tropes (arei? the blue-haired bowling girl? yeah that's just hiyoko saionji, but she did a 180 on the colour wheel. she's one of the better characters) and at worst they seem like they're just lab-engineered for the single purpose of generating moments. i mean no exaggeration when i say every single character with the exception of maybe eden fucking sucks as a person. and that's fine beyond the fact it creates the opposite effect to canon danganronpa: whereas i dreaded finding dead bodies in danganronpa, i'm relieved to find a dead body with despair time. and it does not seem like that's the intended effect, which indicates something's gone horribly wrong somewhere. they also just do not react appropriately to revelations and even just speed through them if the revelation isn't "so-and-so was actually a lunatic all along" - like, the revelation that everyone lost SEVERAL YEARS OF THEIR LIVES was kind of just an 'eh', never really focused on.
its tonally kind of shitty. as indicated by the last dotpoint, revelations are kind of jumped over, important moments with setting the tone are kind of just treated like formalities to get to the REAL meat (joss whedon-style quipping, racist jokes, and anime humour that was funny in 2009-2012 and is not so much funny anymore). it's focused more on its moments, but it only has one moment: [Character Does The Yandere Thing], where a character begins to act insane regardless of buildup, and it's always the same insanity where they grin a little too wide and start saying that nobody understands them and they get a little Unhinged as the kids say yadda yadda the influence from Yandere Simulator of all things is on full display, particularly with the first murder. like that is LITERALLY one of the elimination methods from yandere simulator. and if that blonde twink doesn't shut his stupid fucking mouth i'm going to kill him myself. and it was always jarring whenever it tried to explain a complicated issue because the actual pacing and style of the story would screech to a fucking steel-wall HALT so a character could read off the wikipedia entry for Panic Attack or Nonbinary. and it was just as weird when people said this was a good way to address that. obviously drawing attention to these issues is in fact good, but not just having a character break character to quickly read one of the first Google results for it. how'd puss in boots: the last wish, a CHILDREN'S FILM, manage a more nuanced and subtle depiction of a panic attack than this media intended for young adults.
the story keeps making fucking visits to chekhov's arsenal but never fires any of the weapons it gets from there, with my main complaint being ace's neck wound - there's no point to it BEING a neck wound. does it factor into how he conducts himself at the trial? nope. does it factor into a character arc? nope. does it even factor into his execution? nope! the story does not change in any way if ace gets a different injury, actually he had already murdered arei by this point - the story wouldn't change if he was uninjured (and if he is injured it's stupid the way he killed arei because a slit throat, if you're lucky enough to survive, will in fact put you at a major disadvantage if it doesn't put you in the hospital outright). it also feels like ideas get picked up and dropped faster than diving sticks in a pool.
the non-WASP names range from 'ehhhh' to 'total nonsense'. teruko's name, while it has legal kanji (well, one legal reading), translates approximately to "Superior Child" "Rice Field Armpit". hu's name is the wrong way around, if they're writing Firstname Lastname, it's Jing Hu according to the hànzì that translates to it. min jeung only has a first name but her first name is given the gravitas of being her full name for some reason. charles and j's last names are nouns, which isn't how hispanic last names work. and veronika's last name is total fucking nonsense. her first name's a german first name, and then her last name starts serbian and ends russian while ignoring both of their naming conventions. the author iirc justified this with 'well they're american immigrants' but that's not how immigrant names work.
the fangan, like pretty much all others, just fucking hates women. for one, teruko's the only female character who gets any amount of fleshing out - the dudes get fleshing out and half the women get lucky if they're even acknowledged in a scene that's not the introductions or a trial. the women in despair time are also majority nurturing types whereas in danganronpa you had a fairly wide variety. (they also make the only remotely chubby woman "motherly", and then give her clothes that literally slim down her actual sprite itself). it also, however, extends to the roles that female characters can actually take in despair time - the men are permitted to be the worst of the worst, to be active monsters within their stories, to commit horrible things against the other characters, and they're generally rewarded for committing those acts. the girls on the other hand are barred off from it - they're defined by self-harm. they harm their own lives, themselves, they hurt themselves. with two exceptions: min and arei, who die one after the other. they're punished for hurting others in ways their male counterparts are not. additionally, min gets absolutely brutalized by an execution equivalent to a SAW trap, limbs broken, cut off, and then eaten alive and whimpering by wolves - and ace gets... sent into cardiac arrest. the women get brutalised and the men get relatively chill deaths. men get to be active and horrible, but if a woman does the same, she is punished with a brutal death. unless she's teruko who is Not Like Other Girls.
Giggling at this because it demonstrates such a basic lack of story comprehension. I love when people talk about how much of a writer they are. It's so quaint
edit: I can't stop giggling about the name part. I want someone to tell me my legal name is incorrect because it doesn't line up with the characters in my Chinese given name. My parents are fake immigrants because their surname comes last in america. Hehehe
They could have prevented multiple deaths in chapter 2 of drdt if everyone had just convinced Levi that it was morally correct to fill that breedable twink's hole. teach that evil jockey boy what it's like to be the one being ridden
How Would The Yaoi Men of GSW Atticwife Kim Soleum
After rigorous analysis here are my findings (spoiler for up to 199)
braun - did it to him already
ho - kidnap him to his therapy hut and make him forget how to eat
choi - Retires Soleum to a nice calm seaside cottage to his preferences with no threats of ghost stories where choi can be a provider in a normal pseudo-marriage. Kim Soleum is allowed free movement in the rural community as long as Choi knows where he is
ryu jaekwan - would not atticwife kim soleum full stop
lee jaheon - would not atticwife kim soleum but would move into his house
baek saheon - would only atticwife kim soleum if kim soleum successfully did the ritual and was under the 1 year march to suicide due to displaced trauma. he would lose his shit a little more as the time approached until kim soleum is literally just fine because he Knew All That. deescalating is incredibly awkward, they remain codependent, and baek saheon puts a tracker on his phone
The most unrealistic part of this series is that Percy took 5+ years to try controlling liquids that weren't water. You're telling me THE percy jackson was never pissing and thought, "watch this killer move"
It's a new beginning for Yuder. Here's a man breasting boobily down the stairs. The world really is beautiful.
Yuder has to change the world this time around, the stakes are too high. We can't lose the Gakane's national treasure double D's. It would be so sad if we lost his boinging bazongas.
No, he isn't the ML. He's the MMMMML for his Massive MoMMy Milkers.
