Hello 🙋

My name is Maram, I am 25 years old from Gaza. I dreamed of a peaceful life, spending my life with my husband and my three children... but the war turned this dream into an impossible one 💔😭. We lived through this genocide with all its painful details and we are still suffering from it😭. We were so happy when the ceasefire was announced, and we returned to our homes in northern Gaza after being displaced for a year and a half in a tent in the south of the Gaza Strip. After repairing a small room in our destroyed house, we began to live there and start over. Unfortunately, the war came back, and it was even stronger than before 💔. Now, we have no shelter or source of income. We have used up all our savings during the war. I know I created my campaign very late, but that's because I have no other means to help my family 🙏. I am completely confident and hopeful that someone here will help us as much as they can and save my family in these tough circumstances 😔.

I know how painful and frustrating it is to start over from scratch, but I hope to get any amount for my family 🥺🙏.

Help Maram and Her Family Rebuild Their Lives

My name is Maram, a Palestinian woman from Gaza. I am 26 years old and a mother of three children: Malik (8 years old), Ibrahim (6 years old

So, please, donate to my campaign, even if it's a small amount—it will have a big impact on us 🥺. May God bless you, my friend 🥰❤️.

I love ego renegade boy bc it takes the anti transmasc rhetoric of ‘how could you kill a beautiful girl’ ‘we’re mourning our daughter’ and says yeah I killed your daughter. and it was cool as fuck. I injected her with lethal chemicals aka my testosterone shot. I’m gonna make a music video about it.

So when Anakin Skywalker was a Jedi he looked like this

But turning to the dark side changed his physical appearance. Most notably his eyes, which became yellow (a very typical Sith transformation in many species)

And while I know that Wookies are not supposed to be able to be force sensitive and therefore cannot become Jedi or Sith, all I am saying is that

.... You know?

What they said

[reminiscentrainclouds]

I wrote this in kind of an essay format to try to organize my thoughts on Your Turn To Die. I've been really invested in trying to figure out just how everything connects together with the death game pretty much for a while now. And I really wanted to share my thoughts/theories before the end of the game comes out. To put it simply here at the beginning: I think Asunaro is the result of the Hades Incident and the unification of all the crime rings involved in it, Asunaro was able to hide the continued existence of the organization through its ties to the police, the person who wrote the Memorandum is the current head of Asunaro, the candidates of the current death game are related in some way to Asunaro through blood relation, and on the grounds of all that, the point of the current death game is somehow related to the Hades Incident.

I don’t know how much of that is already heavily implied enough to be considered canon, which is why this isn’t exactly a theory post.. I’ve just never seen anyone talk about any of these things so I thought I might as well. And now I'll go into my evidence and reasoning for all that in a very unnecessarily longwinded way. Enjoy the ride. I've been thinking about this for way too long.

((3,000-ish words under the read more.))

I'll start off by bringing up what we know about the Hades Incident. It is mentioned directly about three times if I recall correctly: when Keiji mentions it to Sara in chapter 2, when Sara comes across the Memorandum in Gashu's office during the escape attempt, and in chapter 3 when they find the note from Shinobu Gokujo on the piece of fallen ceiling.

We know from Keiji that the Hades Incident was an organized death game planned by the crime rings to create a unified crime organization and keep the crime rings from falling apart on their own. The point of the death game was to find a new head for this organization. Keiji says that the organization disbanded soon after because “the police do their jobs sometimes, right?”

That’s the first we hear about the Hades Incident. The next time we see a reference to it is when Sara comes across the Memorandum in Gashu’s room, during the escape attempt in chapter 2. In this room is a picture of a man titled “Inauguration”, a copy of the Floor Master’s code, and the Memorandum. The Memorandum recounts a death game very similar to the one occurring in the present game, from the perspective of the survivor years later.

The final reference we get to the Hades Incident is in chapter 3, in two places. First, we see the wanted poster for Shinobu Gokujo, someone who “aided in restructuring the criminal underworld” and who is a “Hades Incident Refugee”. After that, we see a note left by Shinobu Gokujo on the debris that falls in the boxing ring, talking about an escape route on the sixth floor. This is assumed to be from the Hades Incident, which reveals that it took place in the same facility as the current death game.

Now that we’ve reviewed all those details, the first point I wanted to make was that Asunaro is the result of the Hades Incident. I feel like this is almost certainly the case, even though Keiji sounds so certain when he says that the police disbanded the organization that was formed by the Hades Incident. It just doesn’t make sense that after this unified organization was “disbanded”, this immensely powerful organization with no ties to it whatsoever came and took its place out of nowhere. To me, Asunaro feels exactly like the kind of thing that would come from all the crime rings finally working together rather than fighting each other. Doing so would make it even more powerful because assumably, the crime rings all had their areas of influence in different parts of society. If they all of a sudden started working together towards a common goal, it would be much easier to fly under the radar, much like what Asunaro is doing now. Not to mention the fact that the current death game is taking place in the same facility as the Hades Incident did, and how closely it parallels what was described in the Memorandum.

This brings me into my next point: that Asunaro was able to hide the continued existence of the organization through its ties to the police. Asunaro has its hooks in so many aspects of society, and on the outside, it appears to be a completely inconspicuous organization. We learn that Q-taro’s orphanage had been called Asunaro. In Alice’s lost memory, Asunaro’s symbol was seen in the prison. It’s everywhere, and yet no one takes notice of it. They’re able to obtain medical records on all the participants; they’re able to get enough information on Emiri Harai and Michiru Namida to recruit them as researchers; and Midori’s able to worm his way into a bunch of places and act as if he works there to keep tabs on the candidates without being found out. If they’re able to frame their organization as other things, such as an innocent orphanage, and infiltrate the police without being found out, I don’t think it’s a stretch to think that they could have altered the police files that Keiji read to make it seem as if the original crime organization had disbanded. Doing this would allow them to continue operating without the police actively trying to shut them down. It feels as if they have an exceptional number of people in places such as the hospital or the police that either have direct ties to the organization or who were threatened to cooperate and keep quiet, allowing them to pretty much do whatever they want without tarnishing their public reputation.

My next point is another probably obvious one. The person who wrote the Memorandum is the current head of Asunaro. It’s at least safe to assume that the person who wrote the Memorandum ended up heading the “underworld”, or whatever organization came from the Hades Incident. So if it really is the same organization, then Memorandum guy probably sits at the head of it currently, or at the very least, did at one point. First of all, he survived the Hades Incident, since he was able to write the Memorandum years later. Second of all, the Memorandum is in the same room as the photo titled “Inauguration”, which is assumed to be his inauguration as the head of the organization. I bring this point up mainly because it relates to my last point about the purpose of the current death game, which I’ll get to later.

There is a slight chance that this isn’t the case, though. Personally, I’m still stuck on the relation between the Memorandum guy and Shinobu Gokujo. It feels like something that won’t be clear until the next chapter comes out, which will probably take place on the sixth floor that he mentioned the escape route was on. But as it stands, I don’t think Shinobu Gokujo is the Memorandum guy. Because to me, from the message he left, it sounds like he had a role to play in designing the Hades Incident rather than participating in it himself. How would he know about the escape route or be able to leave that message if he hadn’t helped design the facility?

Ah, but then again! Midori similarly played a role in putting together the current death game and still was originally intended to take part in it too. So, it wouldn’t be a complete surprise if they were the same person after all. After surviving the Hades Incident, the Memorandum guy probably would have similar views as Shinobu Gokujo about majority votes being a ridiculous way of deciding deaths. Maybe instead of becoming the head of the organization, he found the sixth floor escape route and fled? Or he ditched the organization later on. And that’s why there was a wanted poster for him that implied Asunaro was looking for him. But this doesn’t make as much sense to me because the fact that his Memorandum is in Gashu’s room, not to mention the inauguration photo, seem to disprove this. Unless Gashu was following this guy’s ideas in secret?? He did seem to be approaching the death game differently than the other floor masters when he committed his transgression and all. BUT we’ve already spent too much time on this point. I’m curious to see what Shinobu Gokujo’s deal is with wanting to build a new underworld. I think it’s safe to say he wouldn’t support the idea of the current death game with its majority votes lol.

Now the big big point that I wanted to get to through ALL of this was my theory that the candidates of the current death game are related in some way to Asunaro through blood relation. I felt like I needed to set the groundwork for that theory with allll those other thoughts, but I think that even if they’re not true, there’s still a lot of evidence for this point alone. I’m going to use a few quotes that seemed Interesting to me to explain this one.

While Keiji and Sara are talking about the Hades Incident, Sara asks how relevant it is to the current death game. “.......... Not very, I think. ...Since the organization collapsed and all. Besides, Sara. You got any connections to the criminal world?” On its own, it seems like a ridiculous “of course not” kind of comment, but it seems weird that he would say that, almost like it’s both a hint and a way of dismissing your suspicions on the game’s part. Like, “Hey! Remember that the Hades Incident participants all had connections to the crime rings? Don’t worry about it, this can’t be the same situation because the current candidates don’t have any ties to the underworld.” But it still makes you think about it anyway.

I think that the reason why there’s a distinction between “candidates” and “participants” in the death game has to be for some reason important to the purpose of the game as a whole. All the floor masters speak about the death game as if it’s a huge deal. It’s the “holy” game. There are an abundance of rules to keep the floor masters themselves from getting involved, and an abundance of preparation and measures taken to ensure the game follows a particular vision. This is why I feel like the candidates for this game would be chosen with a similar amount of control and foresight in mind. It would make a lot of sense if they were “born” into this role rather than simply being selected for it based on things like specific traits. Plus, Gashu says this: “Do not wear such gloomy looks, everyone. Win, and survive. For you were all born to win.”

The line that first made me come up with this theory was also said by Gashu. “... I will say but one thing... Everyone, have you ever harbored doubts about your upbringing? That... is my first and last hint for you.” Everything he says makes it sound like the candidates were chosen since they were born and it affected every aspect of their life up to now. I don’t think it’s entirely impossible that all the candidates do, in fact, have connections to the criminal underworld that they don’t know about. And due to the emphasis on being born into the role, as well as the fact that anyone with siblings found out that their sibling was also there (Alice and Reko, and Kanna and Shin - they’re related by blood and are both candidates, while Kugie is not), I think it has something to do with blood relation. We already know outright that Sara likely has this connection, due to her dad sharing similarities to and potentially being Meister, and therefore having a part to play in the organization. We also know Midori is a part of the organization directly but was also a candidate, and the mysterious lady from Kai’s minisode is theorized to be his mom.

There’s also a moment when Gin and Sara are exploring the police box in Chapter 3. Gin knows about the Hades Incident for some reason, and Sara remarks that he wouldn’t have learned about it from school, and that it might have been the lantern that made him suddenly remember. We know that the lantern’s used to recover their lost memories, so it could be that they have other memories related to Asunaro that were altered/erased somehow. Maybeee. I just feel like it’s evidence that they do somehow have ties to Asunaro despite not knowing it directly.

That’s as far as the theory goes, though. We’re given very little information about everyone’s families, so it could be something like their parents are secretly involved in the organization, willfully or not, and selecting their children to be representatives for the death game would mirror the original Hades Incident. They could be related to the original crime rings or the original Hades Incident candidates themselves, therefore being the only “fair” people to select to choose a new head of the organization. The specifics would depend on what the ultimate goal of the current death game is, which is another point that’s currently left to discover.

That brings me to my last point, and I will say that I have a lot of different thoughts on what the point of the current death game might be. So I left that part a bit vague: the point of the current death game is somehow related to the Hades Incident. I feel like it must be. The parallels are too strong, and it would be weird to introduce the Hades Incident at all otherwise, so I feel like they’re definitely related in some way.

The most simple explanation would be that this is an attempt to find a new head for the organization like the Hades Incident was. This would make a lot of sense because it could be seen as a challenge to test whether they can handle such a role. Plus, there’s an ending in Your Turn to Shine that implies that Sara’s the one running the ytts simulations which seems to support this idea. The fact that all the candidates are participating unwillingly makes this a little questionable though, because I doubt anyone forced into this position would make a very good leader. What motivation do they have to support this evil organization now that they’ve “won”? What would be the point in forcing them to lead it? Unless the death game is a test for that too, like if they’re really willing to do whatever it takes to survive, then surely they’ll have no problem leading the organization. It seems like kind of faulty logic on their part, though.

This next idea is a lot more convoluted but it could explain some stuff that the other doesn’t. Like the direct parallels it has to the Hades Incident. Maybe with the current death game, they’re trying to somehow replicate the circumstances of the Hades Incident but to rig it in some way in Sara's favor, as a representation of the person the winner of the Hades Incident lost. If the Memorandum guy really is the current head of the organization, and he cared about the girl who died so much, he could have used his power to direct the organization's efforts towards figuring out how to “reproduce humans”, recreate a death game, and somehow orchestrate it to have the same circumstances as the Hades Incident. The “rigging it in Sara’s favor” part is a little bit of a stretch because of how much the death game Also seems to have a strong emphasis on being fair for all the candidates, but I think it’s safe to say that not everyone in Asunaro agrees with the same methods of running the death game, hence Gashu’s interference. I might go into that in another essay thing because that’s another thing I have a lot of thoughts about.

But, Sara does seem to be weirdly at the center of all of this. The fact that everyone immediately trusts her so easily, particularly Keiji kind of leading everyone to trust her, the fact that she has the highest winning percentage, the fact that she has such a cold side to her personality that only seems to show up when she starts forgetting about Joe, and the weirdness surrounding her dad. The fact that everyone at Asunaro seems to single her out as special, too, and the way Hayasaka’s so convinced everything is for her sake in his victim video. So maybe it could be a really convoluted way of creating a situation where the girl who died in the Memorandum got to live instead.

I feel like as a secondary goal or something, the death game could also just be some sort of research or experiment type thing. A stepping stone to more deeply understand how humans act in a survival situation. Research into humans without regards for morals or laws is a big aspect of Asunaro as a whole, after all. Or, taking the cult-like aspects of their organization into account, it's some kind of mission that they believe they need to carry out.

That is all I’ve got for now though. I think the main reason I wanted to write all this was mostly just to get my theory of the candidates being born into the role out there. Because I don't think I've ever seen anyone bring it up, and that "question your upbringing" line haunts me. I want to know what it meanssss.

And I'm going to be completely honest with you, even while writing this, I started changing my mind on some things, so I might still have more thoughts to share later. Like I started thinking what if the Memorandum ISN'T about the Hades Incident and had to seriously consider that for a minute.. I hope that all wasn't too convoluted to read haha. Thank you for reading this far if you did. On another note, shoutout to the youtube channel “your turn to rant” because their videos were the first to come up when I searched for the Memorandum and Hades Incident stuff, so it was helpful to have that as a resource without having to go back through and find out where in the game that stuff was mentioned. They also had some interesting things to say on these topics in the videos so some of those concepts might be reflected here too.

Also!! If you have any thoughts on any of this stuff or on yttd in general, please feel free to share them because I love talking about it always! I’d love to hear other people’s theories and takes on things. I only got into yttd in the past year or two so I missed the point when the fandom was super active and missed a lot of the theories and headcanons and stuff. I don’t see stuff like that around much, so I kind of have no idea what the fandom consensus on most things is, if there is any.

We live in the dumbest, lamest cyberpunk dystopia possible.

So LA has been — and continues to — protest against ICE. These protests haven’t gotten any smaller or lost any momentum, but social media wasn’t reflecting it.

TikTok users, realizing that the platform/other social media are censoring/deleting/shadowbanning these protest videos, decided to find a workaround.

They’re calling it the LA Music Festival. Ice detention centers and other protest locations are “stages.” The hottest band is Rage Against the Machine. “Here’s what gear you should be bringing to stay safe at the LA Music Festival.”

And it fucking worked.

TikTok has become a proving ground for a lot of new music, meaning lots of labels and organizations have lucrative deals with TikTok to promote their new artists and music festivals. So they absolutely cannot censor the words “music festival” or train the algorithm to ignore it, or they risk endangering that very important revenue.

So now protest videos are flooding feeds again, but it’s the LA 24/7 Music Festival. Truly an incredible timeline we’ve landed in.

[charonsferry]

During the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s, radio broadcasts would refer to upcoming marches as "parties" and use other such euphemisms to sneak calls to organize past censors. For example, the Birmingham marches of 1963 were called "a field trip in the park with a luncheon".

This is, frankly, a timeless strategy, just done online.

I see this post all the time and I'm so confused. Most people throughout history were busier than your average resident of a developed country is now. My primary reaction to reading about the past since I was a child has been "I'm glad I don't live then, I'm too weak for that, I could not do that much work all the time."

[aphony-cree]

In the past things took longer to do but they often required a waiting period. You had to chop wood, put it in your stove, and light it, but it took a few hours for it to get hot enough for baking and then another hour for the bread to fully cook. History books will say things like "It took 4 hours to make a loaf of bread" but they don't mention that you only had to do actual work for a fraction of that time and the rest could be devoted to other tasks or relaxing for a while

Employee workload has doubled or tripled because of modern technology. It makes things faster but also creates less downtime which employers have filled with more responsibilities. You can do more work in a 10 minute period if all the files are on the computer but in the olden days you got to take a short walk to the filing cabinet and let your mind wander while you thumbed through folders, which means a modern 10 minutes of work is more mentally exhausting. The amount of work one employee has to do today used to be split between 2 or 3 people. We lost those moments of downtime we used to get by having to do things the slow way

[silvialightning]

I saw @sou-ver-2-0 theory on Mr.Policeman being Joe’s dad and I wanna put my own spin on the theory and add a bit to it, since I do believe it’s right and have thought about it for a long while.

I wanna look at some things about Joe and Keiji specifically. First I’ll talk about Joe, and then make a separate post about Keiji’s POV.

First off, during the initial character introductions, Joe never properly introduces himself. As in, no last name, just Sara calling for him and a short little sentence at his introduction. “Me and Sara are high school classmates.” (In chapter 3, Mr.Policeman’s name is conviently left out….)

(Also bc of this I don’t think Keiji realized initially who Joe was. He treats Joe pretty standard. He’s also aware that Joe is sus of him. Last names were said during the trial. I’ll get into all of this in Keiji’s post though.)

Joe is very quiet in the beginning, only introducing himself after Keiji says he’s a cop. He’s the only one who really has an immediate reaction to that info, and kinda seems upset with himself for doubting Keiji initially.

During a talk with Gin, he and Joe have this short interaction. That adds a lot of depth to Joe’s character, and his reaction does point to his relationship with his dad being… something to take note of, at the least. (Joe afterward promises with Gin to play with him lots after they leave.)

It would also make sense that Joe is the one who thinks Keiji is lying about being a cop too, with his possible background. Something about Keiji still rubs him the wrong way.

Also during the Mishima vote discussion with Nao, Joe is very aggressive with his idea that Nao should have been mad and looked for the culprit. “If someone important to you was killed, wouldn’t you look for the culprit??” Bc maybe it got kinda personal for him there.

Or maybe he did try to look into who killed his dad and that’s why he was wary of Keiji, bc he found something out. I’ll admit the idea is super duper out there and pure speculation though, with nothing much to back up that idea, it’s still a passing thought I had about it.

Yttd is meant to be played more than once, so looking back at the very beginning with new context adds A LOT to Joe’s character. The character writing is so good with the game, I believe it was absolutely intentional to give you a fresh look at Joe on the second playthrough.

I don’t want to make this too long, so I’ll make a second post about this from Keiji’s pov later.
