avery, 20, pfp source, pronouns she/her. this blog is general-purpose and maintained for my own amusement. zero escape sideblog is @i-love-klim, but since there are many zero escape posts in the archive, and since I still post about other uchikoshi works (infinity/AI somnium) on here: information on spoiler policy (+ general tagging schemas) below
I try to keep this blog spoiler-free. sometimes I post spoilers anyway, and tag my posts as such. most spoilers on here are mild, so these are mostly for the benefit of anyone going through XYZ uchikoshi game for the first time
INFINITY: #ever17 spoilers, #remember11 spoilers
ZERO ESCAPE: #999 spoilers, #vlr spoilers, #ztd spoilers, #zero escape spoilers (I don't consistently tag that last one: blacklist the tags for individual games)
AI THE SOMNIUM FILES: [for AI1 only ->]#aitsf spoilers, #aini spoilers
and as for non-spoiler media tags...
INFINITY: #ever17, #remember11
ZERO ESCAPE: #zero escape, #9 hours 9 persons 9 doors, #virtue's last reward
AI THE SOMNIUM FILES: #aitsf, #aini
MISC: #omori, #off game, #deltarune
&& as for non-media tags... I tag posts that trip an automatic readmore on my dash as #long post, that's about it. I sometimes tag posts covering potentially triggering subject matters as #[x] mention, but I'm not consistent about it. if you need anything tagged lmk
i KEEP thinking abt trans girl ralsei after these recent chapters... looking up to susie so sincerely and deeply that the thought crosses her mind of "i wish i could be like her... i wish i could BE her..." and then that thought feels so intensely """selfish""" by her own personal metrics that ralsei freezes and falls over like those fainting goats
People have talked a lot about how Spamton wanting to "get big" has to do with breaking free of the game, breaking into reality. In Chapter 3 we have an example of Kris being big, at least in relation to the inhabitants of the Shadow Mantle game.
was pointed out to me that the jojo pose flowery does isn't just namechecking hftf jotaro but specifically MUGEN's own Ronald McDonald:
and further that this is reflected elsewhere in his character, with his "I get to make up big numbers in everything" fighting style pretty strongly evoking nonsensically overpowered MUGEN fighters. which is very fun on its own but also makes me wonder about a pattern that's been around for a while
the NEO body & the god of hyperdeath on asriel's computer are over-the-top expressions of A Lightner's Dream, Discarded, climactic encounters in Undertale reframed as avatars of an ideal self probably literally made in mspaint. maybe flowery is the culmination of that, someone with dreams but no lightner body whom the Dark World lets actualize, but...
...where does this leave the Knight? intentionally or not, "spiky monochromatic void creature with arms & legs that aren't quite right" 100% passes for something a teenager like Dess would draw in the margins of her notes. is this Dess' dream, too?
reading one of yoko taro's interviews with toby fox and it is really funny how he spends basically the entire time talking about him like how people talk about kane parsons
You've come this far, warriors. You've finally proven that you're a worthy opponent, but this is where your adventure ends! You must face us, or die trying.
BA-BUM-BUM-BUM, TWO THREE FOUR! (← Specifically the long-distance one where he's yelling)
The "pan" cue for clapping in The BonOdori is so cool, especially the "made in Japan!" joke. [Imagines The BonOdori in Megamix] Hmmm, yess, a skill star right there please.
The hold-release spin cue in Sweeper Star in Groove, just because we got the timing exactly right first try - (Of course that's how long a hold-release cue in a new Rhythm Heaven game would be, swear to god it's identical to Cheer Readers' "OK It's On!")
Ololgogloon~ (1-a-2-a-3-GO!)
The triple back-to-back-to-back "tweet, twe-twe-tweet, tweet, squawk!" in Flockstep.
The recurring theme here is that the best parts of any given Rhythm Heaven game are moments that the tutorial didn't explicitly cover so much as you just have to intuit the right thing to do based on a new combination of cues.
