tell me… do you love this world?

i love this world because… xenoblade 2 is in it

[tennoseihai]

welcome to my twisted mind......

after eight years of being very much obsessed with xenoblade 2 i decided to finally just make a sideblog to yap in. my intent is for a healthy mix of like actual analysis of the game and incoherently screaming about my beautiful blorbos rex and pyra. if i'm overcome with evil intent i might criticize certain things in certain other games. but i would broadly prefer this to be a land of love and life.

posts happen when they happen baby !! i ain't on the clock here !! i will be shilling my fics whenever i upload them however.

in regards last reblog: i don’t even remember who it was but i’m always haunted by this dude who made a video essay that was meant to be a rex and pyra character analysis and thinking “ohhh, let’s give it a shot, maybe it’ll be good!” and like within the first minute he goes like “amalthus failed to resonate with pneuma because their worldviews were incompatible,” which. he did not do that. he reaches for it and malos calls him a gay nerd and he gives up before touching the core. he doesn’t make the attempt, so he is not rejected by the core.

also. this is not how the aegis cores work, they’re Very Specifically blank slates that imprint even harder off their first driver than most blades, hence why malos is even fucking like that!! that’s like the entire tragedy of his character!!! if amalthus awakened pneuma she’d be all fucked up too!! if you can’t even get to rex or pyra before fundamentally fucking up a really central aspect of the story you really gotta just pack it up, man. embarassing business.

Analysis so bad you don't even know what it's talking about anymore.

the new outfits in xb2 switch 2 being specifically for pyra and mythra is kinda weirdly limited compared to xb1 giving the whole party new outfits, which makes me assume/hope it’s just like. a pneuma costume to keep them mikumaxxing all the time

pyrex codependency in general is just so awesome. rex basically disintegrates any time pyra isn't directly within his field of view and pyra apparently hinges the entirety of her desire to be alive on him being there. they're like the most nice and sweet and pleasant couple possible but also they have something terribly wrong with their attachment to each other

[tennoseihai]

this line makes me insane. it's such a revealing statement because four seconds ago she's saying that she's made peace with being even more immortal than other blades, only to just immediately drop in that, yes, she's happier now, she has the will and the hope in her heart to carry on. just, you know, for precisely as long as rex is still alive. it's sooo. like, she says this all softly and happily like this is some comforting notion to her, and it's literally just "don't worry rex i have delayed my suicide to the exact moment you will die." i think pyra is maybe verifiably the most mentally ill xenoblade 2 character she's so awesome

[tennoseihai]

pyrex really is so awesome. i dont have any deep thoughts on the matter right now. they're just really good

i prommy my thing that is done very soon is not salty about xb3 whatsover. it’s a nice and pleasant pyrex fic

one of the many, many things that completely sucks ass about the picture is how it changes the trajectory of pyra, mythra and nia’s arcs from “these traumatized women were able to heal and start to move on, but they did not have to be in a relationship with a man to do so,” to “yes they absolutely all did and they all had to get pregnant simultaneously as well, because That Is What Women Do.” like as fucking usual xenoblade 3 sees nuanced character writing in xenoblade 2 and just flattens it out to something nice and easy and much, much worse.

[tennoseihai]

i have an actual real thing on the way. eventually. in due time. it’s like 60% there
