for the yttd ask game; Kazumi Mishima and Kai Satou!

Kazumi Mishima: Who do think should have been the first to die, logically or emotionally in your opinion?

Logically when I replayed yttd everyone should’ve voted for Sou. Like there’s nothing stopping them from voting for Sou when Kai is begging for his life saying to vote Sou bc he’s the sage and they know who the sacrifice and keymaster are from that so like they could have. If he’s causing problems there’s a way to stop that yknow. Emotionally Q-taro. I’m sorry I still don’t care about him... you had a good arc though...

Kai Satou: Which dead character is having their death badly handled by the game (yttd) or by other characters?

Idk if I'm alone in this but the way the game handles Sou's death in the Kanna route feels... weird. Not even taking into consideration the actual character's responses, the game itself leads you to feel like the Kanna route is the good route and the Sou route is the bad route, like it's rewarding you for killing a specific person off. This is something I particularly hate bc the Reko/Alice split is completely neutral no matter what you did and there's no punishing aspect, even if the Reko route events are objectively darker. It never makes you feel like you've made the right choice, you just made the choices that you did. That's what I wish they did with the Kanna/Sou split. And I have no problem with having feelings of guilt when you choose the Sou route! I actually really like that part of the route, the small little comments about whether he was the right decision really add the the somber and darker tone to the route. Of course you would feel guilty over choosing Sou over a kid, that's the point! But what I don't like is the almost happy tone to Kanna's route. You just directly chose someone to die, is that really what you'd be feeling? Relief and upbeat? I want there to be guilt of a different kind: was it right to go against logic just so I feel like I'm doing the right thing? Bc that's why you saved Kanna, so you wouldn't kill a kid. But is that a better outcome for the group? Or will it come to bite you later? I want something to come up that would work far better if Sou were there, but he... isn't. Your decision to not plan for the future has led to the sacrifice of someone or something and you think, "Did I make the right decision?" Idk I think it'd be a good way to even out the routes. Self sacrifice should be treated the same way on both routes, and I don't think it should be celebrated.

Just an add on: it feels kinda weird that Sou has a full breakdown and announces revenge for Kanna’s death but Kanna seems to just not. care? that Sou just sacrificed himself for her. Like she doesn’t even seem that upset and then just kinda moves on. I know that’s simplifying things but if the tone wasn’t so upbeat I think it would be something that feels intentional to the character rather than a writing choice. Like Kanna only spent three days with him, of course that’s not a lot of time. Especially when she just lost her sister! Of course she could take a positive message from it (whether or not she should is up for debate). But with Sou, even though he was blatantly manipulating her, she still believed in him until the end and got kind of close to him, and was probably the first person in a long time to do that. I think the juxtaposition could be kinda cool to explore if it didn’t just feel like she feels that way bc the route is supposed to be happier.

for the fanfiction trope grading: Mind control/brainwashing, and amnesia!

Oh my god these are targeted you're hitting where it hurts

Mind control/brainwashing is literally A I'd give it an S if it was on the chart oh my god. If one of these tags is on there you know it's about to be some of the best hottest shit you've ever read. It's almost impossible to write it wrong. Framed in a good light? Yum. Framed in a bad light? The horror... and with horror it's of course great no matter what. Outright mind control to get you to do something or slow and subtle brainwashing to reform your brain and opinions, maybe just to suit one person... It makes my stomach feel all icky it's great... Related but I search manipulation in fandom tags on a monthly basis it's probably my favorite kind of fic. lol I'll stop before I go insane it's A tier

Amnesia: Umm I'd say C tier. Maybe leaning a little more towards D just bc the usual genre for amnesia is angst and I kinda hate angst... But I think it can also lead to some really good concepts if done correctly. Like, maybe you keep having memory loss and you're turning towards one person for comfort but... what if they're the one giving it to you just to pull you closer? The more you rely on them the more unstable your episodes get and the more scared you are... Did you ever doubt their kindness? You can't seem to remember... Anyways it's got good potential but the standard fics for it kinda bring it so yeah C

for the "give me a character and i will describe why i wouldn't date them"; keiji shinogi!

He's only hot in the death game tbh.... like can you imagine dating keiji? no you can't. he's the guy at the bar that half-heartedly flirts with you and you change seats bc you don't wanna talk to him. maybe if you're drunk you'll like it bc he's hot but the next day you're like wtf was that :| and lose his number on purpose. fr though he's only hot in the "I like him but I shouldn't" stage and then I remember he's not my type and I don't wanna be taken care of and I'm like nvm. plus sudden one sided physical affection sucks and he'd do that a lot :|
