peh i waited 2 years for this shit. u thought i was gonna wait a month to do one branch what kinda sad whale would i be
bc cybird routes are kinda lengthy and go all over the place i made a fun bingo sheet of wild guesses of things i thought that would happen in the route
and tbh the ones that didn’t make the cut make me sad because they were good. and then they somehow outdid me with other cliche shit i forgot to add??? god damn
SPOILERS BEHIND CUT
explanations on the ehs
shakespeare has actually a kind of major role (compared to the other charas) but he’s in a much more sympathetic light now compared to the routes in the “first half”. bc as i said making him a real villain now is a little depressing. the boy’s just TROUBLED OK
leo isn’t really in the route as much as you would think. i mean he does show up a bit and then in one of the POVs they have a talk. but it’s not that big imo bc then there wouldn’t be enough room for vlad being creepy
faust and charles do help in the kidnapping of mc but they don’t start it per se. shakespeare does the initial entrapment and then they drag her to the castle. that’s not dramatic crazy, that’s just an uber
time does guide the mc to something, but it’s not a place. it’s not even something secret bc it’s the pocket watch he carries all the time. but the pocket watch is significant
stream of consciousness spoilers i want to talk about
they would reveal that the count has a real name, which is Abel. because mc can’t be going “count” during the sexy scenes (tbh... i was worried abt that)
so in the second half mc waits out the month but then the door doesn’t work for some reason so until then they gotta figure out why. but then it’s revealed that in vlad’s castle he ALSO has a magic time travel door and so you can’t use them at the same time or smth??? idk it’s very dumb
so vlad and count go way back, but like as in little boys way back. there are no sprites of shota purebloods im very disappointed about that
also speaking of which vlad has magic powers in which he can like.... do magic mind-manipulating shit??? it’s how mc gets to see count + vlad’s past
i have no idea why vlad seems to be pretty popular bc this guy just seems nuts. is it bc he’s voiced by saito soma? anyway the “crazy” thing he does in this route is throwing mc through his magic time door (where she might get carried away to a time period that’s not hers bc the doors were messed up at that moment) and then count has to go in to save her. bro wtf we do not stan
in the aisare branch they get married bc count wants to tie that shit down i guess
i’m thinking cybird wants to still keep mc a human bc making mc a vamp at the end could make stuff messy. but yeah even he’s like “you know..... one day im gonna have to make you a vampire???” but her answer is all vague bc i guess she’s not ready yet. which i get bc she essentially gave her early 20s life to centuries old vampire
