20/F(she/her)/ace (probably?). Blog currently under construction (August 31) because my theme and everything else was eaten by tumblr. This is only a temp look that will be sticking around for a while...aka, a couple of weeks because I just can't settle on a theme+I've the aethestic sense of an eggplant. ¯\_(ツ)_/
people who have been here for 1 year or less: usually between the ages of 12 and 14, in their weeaboo phase, thinks tumblr is great, a lot of shitposting, has default theme or obnoxious theme
people who have been here for 1-2 years: usually pretty normal, blogs are organized, has a nice theme, only hates tumblr because of it's pointless updates
people who have been here for 3+ years: has a nice theme but their blog is a collection of abandoned networks and groups, very tired, often has war flashbacks to "tumblr university" and the moreos guy, is done with this website's shit and feels trapped but also uses it as an emotional crutch, always screaming internally
death of the author is the idea that works of literature may be examined independently of what the author originally intended, that a reader’s interpretation may be just as valid even if the author disagrees, as long as the reader succeeds in killing the author and becoming the new author
the part of howl’s moving castle where he cries WHAT’s THE POINT OF LIVING IF I CANT BE BEAUTIFUL and generates gallons of ectoplasmic slime from every pore because he accidentally messed up bleaching his hair is INCREDIBLY relatable
im in love with the concept of Las Vegas like i know in reality theres a lot of things shitty and bad about it but im in love with the idea of a capital of debauchery existing in a blisteringly hot desert 2 hours away from a nuclear weapon test site. it’s so bizarre and horrific and tacky i can’t help but loving the idea of it

hear me out: a cutthroat kitchen-type contest for fanfic writers. contestants are given a different trope to write each round. sabotages include making an opponent write in first person, requiring them to write in a particular AU, making them incorporate the opening structure of my immortal. alton brown looks over your shoulder while you write the smut.
Guys ,the first fricken Zero Time Dilemma English review is out and I do have news for you….
10 OUT OF 10! Praise be Uchi.
Note: there is a suggestion that there may be a 4rth game even though everything is decisively wrapped up. Oh. My. God.
More reviews: [thumbs up], [”buying is recommended” vid review], [9.2, best ZE game], [9.5 Destructoid review, one of the best games they’ve ever played], [8.7, with 9.5 story score], [5/5 top honors], [vid of linked review above, notes that it’s his first 10/10 EVER, 9/10, 9.5, Gameinformer 8.75/10]
Here’s a sample gameplay video that was released for the Steam version of Zero Time Dilemma. Translated summary ahead!
Zero starts off with the classic, “Life’s unfair. A single snail can cause the world to go extinct.” Eric says that he’s talking crazy, while Mira asks, “who are you?” Zero answers, “in time you’ll know who I am.” Akane asks why he’s doing this, and Zero replies, “to join me in a game.” Yeah, the coin flip. Guess the color it lands on right and they go free. If they’re wrong, they’ll have to participate in a game that lasts until 6 of them are dead.
Carlos is shocked. “What did you say...?!” Eric and Mira - not giving a fuck - put forth their opinion (Eric says blue, only to change his mind when Mira says red) on what color the coin landed on. Phi joins in, “it’s 1 out of 2 either ways.” Funnily enough, Diana also doesn’t react to the prospect of 6 of them dying, and instead smoothly says, “we should have a majority vote, then.” They’re all, er, very democratic. Akane insists that they all aren’t making any sense and should wait a minute. Sigma agrees, not wanting to obey Zero’s orders.
Zero say something surprising here... “Carlos, what do you think? You’re the leader of all the subjects here and thus I deem your opinion to be representative of theirs. Diana leaves her vote to Carlos. Mira still insists that it’s red. Junpei votes blue. Carlos is asked for his answer by Phi and all he can say is “I...” Akane begs Carlos to not say a color while Sigma demands the same.
Zero then says to Carlos, “you are one snail. The fate of the world rests in your hands.” Why of all people is he the fated snail and the leader of all the participants early on? Well, it’s best not to single him out--all the protagonists may be all snails capable of mass destruction (hah) in the eyes of Zero. ; )
So, Uchi was asked to reveal something about Carlos that wasn’t in game and...yes.
Since Carlos didn’t have anyone to take to prom, he took his cat. God help us, he’s worse than Sigma (in the best way possible what a cinnamon roll). Was he actually an adorably awkward and unpopular teenager despite his jock-like looks? Did he simply prefer to bring the cat because he was shy, and/or preferred the cat’s company over any human’s, not giving a damn what anyone else thought? Most importantly, did he slow dance with the cat???
Well, anyways, Carlos is pure a cat person: confirmed. Let’s hope the topic of cats never is brought up whenever he and Sigma are in the same room, or there - hhem - may be a catastrophe
Additional translated info about Carlos underneath the cut (spoilers?)~
Sorry about the extra lines. I just found out that the translation I heard about was correct, but didn’t wanna mess with the original cat-centric post. I found the rest of the stuff to be pretty entertaining, if not the bombshell that Carlos’s prom date being a cat is.
The article notes how he’s often caught in middle of Akane and Junpei’s disagreements. However, the news here is that he is only worried about his sister. I was already concerned where his priorities might lie. Let’s hope that he’ll open up his heart to his teammates and not get tunnel vision regarding his loved one.
Uchi summed up his character as “fiery fireman.” ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Uchi was asked to bring attention to one of his lines and, well. it runs a bit like this:
“I know on which paths the Reaper lies, where he won’t kill us and where he will.” That...explains a lot...it also makes me even more afraid for him. I don’t know, characters that know too much are often the ones in the greatest danger of canonical death. Then again, I’m not sure if there’s a such thing as a “canon” in these games
Oh, and the bit about his style is pretty amusing. Something about his jeans bringing together his neat and simple look, and how you can see his hardened muscles through his shirt
