spike has truly become a roman empire for me. i was just thinking about him in OMWF and guys. i don't think you understand. this evil vampire guy is the one who delivers the message of hope to our hero. excuse me how can i not think about that everyday

Unfortunately this is my circus but the monkeys weren't my responsibility, and I already kind of have my hands full with the elephants and lions, so I really hoped I wouldn't have to worry about the monkeys on top of all that, but alas....

You took the credit I did all the work. You lied through your teeth as you showcased all the research as your own.

lane putting together noah’s handedness hit me with the same emotional violence as charlie warning desmond underwater… that "oh... OH. this is the twist you don’t come back from" kind of moment. and i’m OBSESSED with how a single line in requiem can feel as heavy as THAT whole confession in lost. the truth just arrives too fast, too late, too devastating. it’s literally cinema

(sorry i turned a simple line into a greek tragedy, i know the scene wasn’t that deep but lost made me like this)

taking advantage of the tea event to mess around with my hs1 and hs2 slots (everyone can hate it all they want but i love this story and deep down i’m attached to it) so yeah, time to dump some thoughts.

hs2 is one of the few stories where i actually played multiple routes without hesitation. i really made the most out of those slots... some routes i enjoyed more than others, obviously. but god. i had forgotten how uncomfortable it is to read mc’s interactions with lucifer when he’s not your route.

in hs1 it was easier to forgive. it was one of the first stories, his route was the most popular, the writing was rough, and we can excuse it however we want. BUT !! in hs2 it just feels so, so forced ???

i think that’s one of the biggest flaws in the whole universe. the fact that lucifer can’t just exist as a friend. you can have that kind of dynamic with astaroth, mimi, dino, even hunger !!! but not luci. why.

and at some point in hs2 the favoritism becomes so obvious it starts to ruin the relationships between characters. like why the hell would lucifer pull the "touch her and i’ll kill you" card for an mc who didn’t even end the first game with him, who wasn’t with him during those ten years, and who, for no apparent reason, is now somehow different from every other woman to him (when five minutes earlier he was flirting with astrid)??? it’s a bit ridiculous. and kind of a shame, because like mimi, he could’ve been one of the mc’s best friends when not in his route. their personalities would’ve made that dynamic really good.

also, whether or not you’re on his route completely changes the tone of the chapters about him trying to reclaim his throne (again). it’s either option 1: "luci stop stop !! this isn’t you🥺 look at me", or option 2: "okay, done, good job, now back to the main plot."

and i say all this as someone who genuinely likes lucifer as a character. and maybe that’s what’s frustrating. i want to see him written better or being more than just the default love interest.

"he’s sensible and so incredible" vs "but i miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain"

i’ve read dozens of rc stories, i’ve seen all the kisses... but this one feels like art

nobody’s gonna do tragic romanticism like charles leclerc after a dnf

“If you pursue a different LI in HS2 when you romanced Malbonte in HS, Malbonte will be left alone, lonely, and hated, because the only person who understood and accepted Malbonte was Vicky.”

Whoever said this in a titkok post.. just so you know I'm going to find you.
