My user is based off of a rainbow I created, which led me to create this account!:
I dub this, the problematic rainbow.
Red: racism,
Orange: homophobia,
Yellow: suicide rates,
Green: addictions,
Blue: sexism,
Purple: predators (eg; p3d0s),
Indigo: inaccessibility for disabilities,
Violet: transphobia.
Iāll likely be posting a lot on mental health & scienceā¦ Though there should be more to it.

A Sou sprite was leaked. So. I have some thoughts about this.
YTTD Spoilers, of course. Read on for not only long walls of text, but as mentioned, SPOILERS.
Firstly, hereās the sprite:
The three intriguing things about this image:
ā¢ He isnāt wearing his scarf.
ā¢ Heās avoiding eye contact.
ā¢ His fists are clenched.
This pose looks like guilt, or pensiveness. Wanting to admit something, maybe apologise.
If thereās one thing that I want to cross off: I donāt think this is a flashback, despite how it looks to be.
I think most would assume this is a flashback based on the lack of the scarf, yet I disagree.
In fact, I believe itās much more likely that this is a sprite for 3-2, where Sou undergoes character development. Itās understandable that his arc continues after the standstill in 3-1 (presumably due to Midori, Kannaās passing, Midoriās passing AGAIN, etcā¦) in a way that balances the gray area of ālogic vs emotionā with his character - which as we know, the main theme of YTTD.
I think the best way to explain this is the theme of ātruth vs liesā. Within all lies, there is a truth. Within all truth, there is a lie. A lie may eventually become a truth. A truth may eventually become a lie. The truth is seen as the truth if itās fully believed to be the truth. A lie is seen as a lie if itās fully believed to be a lie.
We can switch this to the terms of logic vs emotion. Within all emotion, there is logic. Something seen as logic may eventually become emotion. Something seen as emotion may eventually become logic. Logic is seen as logic if itās believed to be logic, & vice versa.
We know Sou is a more emotional person by the second main game, but was originally seen as somebody villainous, calculating his every move to betray others; eg, the laptop scene. āSomething seen as logic may become emotionā is pretty much Shin in a nutshell.
āNow, how does this relate to the sprite?ā The themes of the game. Logic vs emotion.
Iām going to refer specifically to the scene when the cast go to the fourth floor, when Sou tries to rebuild his image as a logical person before Keiji fucking punches him down metaphorically.
I think 3-1 was more highlighting Shinās logical side again - rebuilding his persona after being idle. Him being idle was probably a mix of processing Midoriās presence, grieving over Kannaās death, & not going into a mental breakdown & snapping at everybody. He recovered from the 3rd one, so he spoke up about ātagā & whatnot.
So, in 3-2, it makes sense for Shin to show his emotional side again.
Or, to get to the point once & for all, apologise for his misdeeds.
& if not apologise, at least admit his wrongs.
I think the most likely situation for this sprite is for 1: Keiji puts him on the spot, or 2: he apologises by himself. Let me give an example for this -
Keiji: Souā¦ We can work together, but we need to get over our differences. You may see yourself in the right & is wrong, but youāve done things as well.
Sou: *That one sprite that shows up in the gun scene* ā¦
Keiji: ā¦
Sou: *This sprite* ā¦
Sara: (The atmosphere is tense..)
Then Sou can go either route. I want to see him admitting it, being emotive, though I can see him masking again.
But that doesnāt particularly explain the missing scarf, does it?
Iād like to assume there was a scene where he threw away his scarf.
Sou: Iām doneā¦ Iām done with being related to him. Relying on himā¦ā¦
Sou: I can survive by myself.
Sou: I have to.
Sou: Forā¦ For Kanna.
Or something of the sort.
Or maybe once he apologised, he threw it off. Then there was the tense silence. Weāre only left to wonder.
So. TLDR: Sou goes through character development, admits he was wrong, joins with the other cast members & kicks ass.
what is your eye color. what is your favorite color. what is the color that appears most frequently in your wardrobe. what color is your favorite blanket. what color is your water bottle.
Sobbing crying. What the fuck. Itās Ayanoās last day in their school before moving up what. Why did I just know this. Why donāt they end on Friday like normal people. I hate this planet.
ANOTHER new face! Wow, Iāve hit the lottery here! So! Who are you guys?
My name is Indi, and Iām not sure if you should feel just as lucky ^^ā Iām just about to nap. But, Iām sure I can spare a few minutes, anyway Iām a game dev who needs sleep. But donāt we all need sleep?

(Check @problematic-ra1nb0ws account. The post is there, somewhere. Iāve kind of accepted it as the true political system since nobody else bothered to make one lmao.)
What job actually doesnāt need teamwork? Got told that one stupid phrase & now I canāt stop thinking about it. Apart from politics because politics is shit.
