idk what I'm doing but I'm a sucker for types, elements and all that silly stuff. Enjoy!
A yapfest under da cut...
HOSUH — Water, Poison
Effective against: Grass, Fire, Rock, Ground, Fairy
Weakness: Grass, Psychic, Electric, Ground
Immune against: None
Water is necessary for all things living, although who knows what could be awaiting us in the unknown? It's usually said: “fire is a good servant but a bad master”, however isn't it the same about water? The beings that lurk below the pretty surface can be deadly if you pose a threat to their peace.
Hosuh isn't much different. His intentions seem pure, and most of the time, they were! Although Psychological never-ending torture is bound to make even the purest of heart behave in an ugly manner.
He wanted Hart, the cause of his despair, to go out quietly. His pharmacology knowledge taught him a lot about how to end a life. And what better way to utilize theory rather than putting it into practice?
Stephen is both what keeps him grounded, his companion, and yet the one that drives him further to insanity. A paradox, isn't it?
Whenever Stephen is by his side, the torment seems more bearable and yet they're bound to relive moments of loss, over and over.
Hosuh is willing to attempt killing God, just to live a normal life, where death is permanent and where joy actually has meaning.
HART — Psychic
Effective against: Poison, Fighting
Weakness: Dark, Ghost, Bug
Hart, as the gamemaster, has control and power. It doesn't matter if he decides to partake or not. He is capable of things the other two simply aren't. The world is at his fingertips and his insatiable curiosity only grows.
The more you resist his authority, the more prone you are to madness. You can try killing him, although I doubt you'd win in the long run.
Even though the situations he puts his friends in are less than desirable, they're interesting. Surviving monsters, the supernatural and natural. Seeing how his pals behave quenches his thirst and with a roll of a dice he can seal their fates.
He can also be quite cunning and vague just to see how his friends interpret his message. Shifting the reality to their beliefs of whatever may occur.
Despite all this talk, the contestants of the show aren't tied to simple one dimensional roles. They are themselves, fully human. And humans can only withstand so much until they surrender or break.
Darkness consumes all unfortunate souls, unless you welcome it, embrace it. And shape it into who you are. Surrender can be both a weakness and a strength with enough apathy.
Once you succumb, there's nothing to lose. Life might be meaningless and yet full of opportunities. If death isn't permanent, neither is the agony. It's all a fleeing moment.
The psychological torment is bound to shape who you are even if you embrace it and fight to see the positives whilst the pain of repetitive demise.
Despite Stephen's tough exterior, he is a man of many weaknesses. One of them being his best friend, Hosuh. Witnessing how much despair he's in, was way more agonizing than the burning sensation of the stab wounds.
Holy fuck i was not expecting to pass the Chem Class that's been kicking my ass for this whole semester. I went from it needs to be an A to as long as i'm passing. Which probably doesn't mean much to the other college folk but to me its insane.
Chat! My phone decided to shut off my tiktok as I went to watch some Renruki edits. God forbid i wanna watch some cute edits of one of my fav OTP's. just for my phone to nuke it
Dude ngl I'm catching up on Plan3 s videos starting with the Infinite Hallway and tbh, i love how good everything feels compared to Dan Plan.
Now that I'm looking back, Dan always had a bit "mean" aura/streak on him during the Can You Survive? videos. Like as if he wanted to create content for the audience, especially after how good the Sociopath video did, and prioritised the viewers' enjoyment over his employees enjoyment, especially Stephen's. Hart, at the other hand, is just a fun DM who knows what he is doing and keeps it light-hearted for everyone involved.
Back in DP, it felt like Stephen would get forced into taking the "cruel villain" while Hosuh would be the "weaker link" either emotionally or bodily or both because of the, again, Sociopath video. It didn't felt like they were allowed any other roles to play in Dan's videos other than what the public wanted to see because that's what bought the views. In comparison, you can actually see how relaxed Stephen and Hosuh are in Plan3. Because Hart is actually a good story teller/DM who knows how to make the players comfortable while also keeping it fun. I'm sure if I dig into the DP videos again, I'll catch so many moments of Dan overriding Hosuh and Stephen's decisions or forcing them to go through the choices he wanted them to go. At the other hand, all Hart doing is narrating a story and letting them choose what they want to do, and rolling a dice when it's necessary.
Only from the infinite hallway video, you can see how much freedom Hart allows the players. The first to get out of the elevator was Hosuh and he did on his will, followed by Stephen who also choose it on his own. Hosuh choose to try to open and knock on one of the doors. It was Stephen who suggested to check their belongings and set up the camera to test the infinite hallway. Hart doesn't force them to go through with it either, in fact he asks them "Do you take it?" after they both walked down the hallway and find a turn. It was Stephen's idea to kick a door and it was Hosuh's idea to repeat it after he saw Stephen's injury. Stephen also choose to kick the window and get a cut on his leg (All Hart did was to roll a dice, as a DM should, to keep things fair and unpredictable, while also narrating the story in a trustworthy way). Hosuh came up with the idea of unknown source electric and turn the lamb into their makeshift lighter. They both choose go through with the window. Hosuh asked to check the corpse in the second room. Stephen choose to pick the note and read it... on and on it goes. Comparing that to Dan, who only let them do things when he wanted. Yeah. Dan was just a narrator who simply wanted real life audience made out of his friends while Hart is a good DM who allows so much; letting himself, Stephen and Hosuh have fun while also giving them freedom without letting the story go astray from the topic.
I'm not even gonna talk about how fun, goofy yet also improved all the animation and art is in the Plan3. You can see that Hosuh is having fun with it while drawing and animating it, compared to the stiffness of Dan Plan s because Dan had also treated his animators like thrash.
I wanna do a small animatic to Pearl Jam’s “Daughter” with Toph. I feel it just fits I can’t really explain. And maybe a company it with a fic with Toph venting about “only being cared about as an individual when it’s convenient” by her parents.. will have to see if I do anything with it
