hey guys! so because of some circumstances, i still haven't been able to buy a charger and also, wi-fi. i'm pretty disappointed because i really, really miss this and really, really miss you all. i made a twitter in case anyone would like to talk to me ( https://twitter.com/chiakibug ) and i will be making a skype soon, too. sure, i'll always have my tumblr open, but while i can't use it on my computer, i barely feel the need to check on it... hope everyone is fine. i know hurricane matthew passed near or through some states and islands (it missed my island, actually) and it looked pretty bad. my thoughts are with you. now i have to go get ready for some classes, ugh... good morning, everyone!
it's falsosities (i can't log in rn) but heck I hope you get a new charger soon I've missed you lots!
SPADEEEEEEEEE ♡♡♡ i've missed you too ohmygosh! i'm hoping that once i get that check from the city (they give one for your “academic excellence”? but it's actually for 3.75-4.0 GPAs idk it's still cool) i can be able to buy one??? that wouldn't be after the 20th though ╥﹏╥ and then i'd have to check if my phone's mobile router is compatible with my computer, since a.) i moved and have no WiFi, and b.) it wasn't compatible with mum's own. i also have to revamp this and fix my chiaki with updated info from dr3 when i watch it... i'm gonna cry. i miss this. i miss you all. i want to do this while i still can (because i know the binary program for med school won't let me, cries). (┳Д┳)(┳Д┳)(┳Д┳) }
i'm so mad i'm missing out on all this fun my files left me in the fizzle (and i have no new charger until august or something. joy). and my chiaki analysis is currently spread out in different pages of a half-full notepad, currently being based on The Vaguest, Most Despair Inducing Spoilers In the History of Mankind™ (to top it off, it's not like anyone cares because hey, i sucked anyway) ＼(^o^)／
it's july! and yet i still have no new charger. and no computer... and no internet. (i moved, so yeah...) it actually makes me somewhat sad, since i want to be active here so badlyyyy especially now that the dr3 anime has come out! i want to know what happens so badly ughhhh. i'm even willing to receive spoilers as i keep brainstorming on a random notepad i found o(╥﹏╥)o i hope everyone is doing well, and is safe (especially since pokégo was released... which i also can't download. this is all so despair inducing). i'm so so sorry for all this, but it seems out of my control!
aka, “that one rant/refutation about chiaki’s development (& why this phrase is my prompt for my new theme. which i have to fix. ... with none of the images on me.)”
so while i was drifting through the internet, minding my own business, trying to get motivation to code (because i do want to rp but-- coding? making again new icons? i need motivation) when i realized a thing. most people seem to forget chiaki’s development, or argue that she has none. as someone who has been (not continually) roleplaying chiaki nanami for three years, i disagree.
chiaki was created with the purpose to appear human. to blend in with the students, in order to observe them for the foundation. (she could engage with them and gain their trust, unlike usami-- she’s a teacher figure, after all.) her talent was given because it was the reason she was able to handle the game & get a favorable ending. but that’s another topic for another time.
her development is demonstrated the most when, at chapter five, she goes against the foundation’s coding and outs herself as the “traitor”. usami herself says it; it’s akin to a “miracle”. she shouldn’t have been able to do that in the first place.
“MONOMI: ...............................
MONOMI: It is not for me to decide whether this is right or wrong.
MONOMI: But the way you are acting right now is very brave.
MONOMI: I'd probably...go so far as to call it miraculous.”
birdmanronpa’s translation, chapter 5-19
“NANAMI CHIAKI: I’m sorry. I wish I could have told you earlier, but ... I couldn’t, no matter how much I tried.
NANAMI CHIAKI: Because I ... can’t betray the Future Foundation ...
HINATA HAJIME: ... you can’t betray them?
NANAMI CHIAKI: No matter how much you guys want to fly through the skies, you can’t fly, can you? Even if you want to move freely through the water, you can’t, can you?
NANAMI CHIAKI: It’s the same as that ... this is the only way I can exist, and I cannot ever betray the Future Foundation ...
HINATA HAJIME: What the hell does that ... but you ended up betraying them, anyway ...
NANAMI CHIAKI: ............................
NANAMI CHIAKI: ... Haha, I guess that’s true.”
birdmanronpa’s translation, chapter 5-20
the thing is that, with the written dialogue, it’s only slightly noticeable. voice acting helps; in that case, i favor kana hanazawa’s voice only slightly-- but the interpretation i think handled it the best is nana yamada in the stage play.
she starts out with very vague and fantastical knowledge of the world, and little common sense. she didn’t even know where milk came from. she has biological knowledge of human beings (and their behavior, since the shsl therapist [eeeeey miaya] was involved, obvs) but nothing else. she could probably name the neurotoxins that can make you feel elated/happy (lalalalalalala lalalala dopamine!) but she probably never really felt it. until she mingled with them. you know how kids learn behavior from their surroundings? yeah, that is exactly the essence of chiaki. it’s the reason why she’s so childlike.
since the written dialogue’s transition is slow (as the game passes), it seems barely noticeable that she speaks more surely and fluidly. however, in the stage play, it’s more abrupt. at chapter 3 she speaks a lot quicker, but this is probably due to quick pacing (it was still 3 hours long, even while being condensed!). chapter 5 killed me the most, though; at one point, sonia kinda embraces chiaki while crying and yamada’s voice breaks throughout the whole scene. (i’d like to think that really happened, that it was the most raw emotion nanami felt, and it kinda overwhelmed her.) aaanyway
“why miracle heart?” our “heart” or “soul” is the core of our existence. it’s literally the same word in japanese (kokoro) for some reason. she was created to be a certain way, to seem human but never become it. her purpose was to protect the students, but she had to keep secret that she wasn’t real. her purpose outweighed her secret, which was literally programmed into her. another moment involving her feelings is when she tells hinata that she knows how babies are made, but not about falling in love... but that if it’s him, she’d like to learn a lot more. which is easy to miss, obviously, but counts.
tl;dr: nanami’s development is actually really hella big & part of the reason our kids are in a coma and not dead nor JUNKOS. thank u.
so my charger died weeks ago-- it. started. fizzling. literally; i would hear crackling whenever i moved it and then it started spewing sparks of electricity, which scared the everloving heck out of me. i’m still mourning the loss, since i really want to roleplay my darling chiaki. especially now, since school ended (whaddup i’m a senior now).
i’m gonna see if i can get one of my usb drives and quickly save my chiaki folder, my ps, and several other stuff so i can use the drive on this (my mother’s) computer. just until i can get a new charger (if i can. is that even a possibility, i weep). i won’t do that rn because i’m actually going to the beach... hopefully i get the island feel from that? hope everyone is well! miss you all!
ps: on a side note, if i haven’t followed anyone back it’s because i like to read all the pages before following and i can’t do that on mobile. i’m sorry. }
