Finally got my ass in gear to play the main update content so here's my unorganized random thoughts as I play through the stories. Spoilers warnings ofc
Huh, Anby's thing is a lot more straightforward than I thought. For some reason I thought that was the main thing and not a side thing. Weird.
HOLY FUCK ORGAN HARVESTING???? Jesus this is some super fucked up shit. Girl A best girl tho she the cutest.
Haven't played Trigger's story yet at this point but she's kind of meh to me? At least from what I've she's got a nice design but personality isn't too outstanding. But I highly expected I played something out of order because Phaethon knows them I WAS TRYING TO AVOID THAT I THOUGHT THE ANBY SHIT CAME FIRST FUCK-
Well...off to the tv event battles for more Mockingbird funds so next thoughts will be when doing Trigger's story (I'm saving Hugo for last I'm not ready to simp for another phantom thief don't alter my brain like Ren and Akechi please I beg)
Oh it answered my previous question right away, so the two knew Trigger during the beginning of their opening of Random Play. Wow okay, I do not mind that at all. Though still feels a bit like a "let's just dump it here in the timeline" but maybe going through the story more will change my mind.
Okay I kind of see how she'll appeal to other's, I do like how she acts. Though I can't say I'm someone who'll really remember her later down the line unless she shows up in another update (no offense to Trigger fans really, I have a habit of forgetting characters a lot that don't have a lot going for me. And I don't mean in terms of simping.). But I do want to give her a massive hug, girl deserves one.
Bro istg if the sniper shoots the family members I'm gonna cry DON'T DO THAT TO MY GIRL THAT WOULD BE WAY TOO CRUEL VULTURE DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE- what oh...huh, did not expect that...Wait that makes me confused now. So she's taking revenge on her own comrades? But then why target Trig- oh right survivor blaming....trying to wrap my head around this- am I just dumb????
Oh. Okay I am dumb LMAO, that makes way more sense. I really should've gotten that way quicker than I did wtf me. AJ establishing their smooth brain in action lol.
Okay she's not that bad actually. Almost cried but I do feel for her a ton, and I'm sure several family members I have can relate to her story a lot. She's good in my books, I like her.
Alright, now to do the tv event shit and then...We'll do the last one (lord save me)
Brief note on Trigger's tv event, I don't like it. I'm sure aiming is way easier on pc but on mobile it SUCKS. I'm so shocked I've been getting S ranks so far even with how stiff the aiming feels
Bro I don't know if I can do this, I'm just staring at the screen dkfjhdlcfh. BUT I HAVE TO I WANT TO KNOW THE HUSBAND BACKSTORY GOD AAAAAAAGH
...why is this hoe yapping nonsense can I kick him out Wise please-
...THE FUCK BRO WHY ARE YOU GONNA DROP SO MUCH CASH HUH???? TAKE YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE HISSSS
I AGREE WISE HE SUS AS FUCK WE SHOULD KICK HIM IN THE BA- Okay I'm gonna calm myself down, I will not be swayed by some vamp looking twink.
.....Does this rich dude accuse everyone of being Mockingbird? I mean it's funny when the actual one is right next to us but...dude you're reaching so high you missed the hoop.
The white flashes confused me for a moment but uugh, if I could fail this interaction I would've had to redo this convo. I suck at confrontation even in games lol.
HUGO IS NOT SLICK LMAO this mfer really being obvious to Proxy
Ofc the whole bringer shit got the hush treatment- EVERYONE SHUT UP THE HUSBAND IS TEXTING ME. HE'S COMING OVER EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Oh wait what that's who the Master is? Makes sense in all honesty. OH SHIT HE KNOWS WAIT-
Ohhhhh this actually explains why they don't go in that's neat! And my god eye implants, sorry I'm cringing because I'm squeamish to eye stuff.
Aww the four of them spoke up for Phaethon I love that, smooches all of them.
Okay I know this whole thing is leading up to playable Phaethon but honestly personally I liked that they weren't playable? Made them feel less self inserty compared to Genshin and HSR for some reason, but eh that could just be a me thing.
UGH HE'S BACK, and now he's making me do his dirty work? And I thought he was a gentleman hmph! .....Can I punch him yet-
...Oh don't tell me he has parent issues, don't do this to me IT'S ALWAYS THE PARENT ISSUES ONES THAT GET ME- .......it's mommy issues OFC ITS MOMMY ISSUES I'M SO FUCKED
FUCK HUSBAND IS BACK AND I HAVE TO LIE TO HIM NOOOOOOOOOOOO. Oh god he smelled him HE SMELLED THE TWINK HE'S GONNA FIGURE IT OUT PLS DON'T BE MAD LYCAON
OH HI VIVIAN, WEIRD ENTRANCE BUT YOU'RE PRETTY SO I'LL LET IT SLIDE (please be kind to me so I don't have to swipe for Hugo and his engine in the future pls girlie I want your aesthetic please please please-)
FUCK NOT THE JACKASS, HE'S GONNA MAKE EVERYTHING GO TO SHIT- actually I wished he tried something so I could see Lycaon get protective....hehehehe I love my husband~
Oh I did that bid with flying colors LMAO, stubbornness wins-JESUS CHRIST VIVIAN WTF A BILLION?????? UM......d-do you need a dog? I can be a good boy- I mean what-
Wait that's a reference to Lycaon's trailer isn't it? I love that
And just like that I'm giving the girl the side eye...Lord Phaethon? Really? Please please please don't be a bait character.
Oh this game has got me thinking with the bid against Hartman-FUCK I LOST ANYWAYS FUCK THIS GUY YOU MADE ME USE ACTUAL BRAIN CELLS YOU POS-
Ah....I guess it's time for the real show to begin, NOW I GET TO KICK HIS ASS RIGHT???? RIGHT????? YASSSSSSSS
WOOOOOOOOO OH MY GOD THE CUTSCENE THE ANIMATION, LYCAON WAS GETTING FERAL HE WAS BARING HIS FANGS OH MY GOD I'M GONNA SCREAM INTO A PILLOW AAAAAAAAAAAA GOD THE GIRLIES WERE FIGHTING THEY WERE FIGHTING AND MY GOD HIM PINNING HUGO AGAINST THE WALL????? WHY COULDN'T THAT HAD BEEN ME, IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME NOT HIM MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
...OH HELL NO THAT BITCH MENTIONED MY HUSBAND'S INJURIES, IM GONNA KILL HIM- oh goodie the game lets me with a boss HEHE. Though boo for running away like a coward, though I do appreciate the fact that was in game and not another prerender cutscene
WAIT EVERYBODY SHUT UP FLASHBACK WITH YOUNG LYCAON AAAA-
Oh the voice direction for young Lycaon is different (from my memory, in jp, he had almost the same voice with the same deepness within the previous flashback. Here it's more higher and more boyish.) Not a bad change, I like it!
Ohhhhhh so this is how the breakup happened, huh. Thought it was more violent but maybe we haven't seen the full fallout. Also this is definitely a "victim of abuse goes too far in his quest for vengeance" vibes, like if his family was a total abusive nightmare (def some kind of affair shit going on too what with the half sister mentioned, or the second mom was the second wife and also abusive as well? Just throwing shit at the wall) I don't blame him fully but...yeah he's going down the route of taking it too far
WDYM THERE'S MORE WHAT, I started this at 11am...it's 3:30pm at the time of writing this sentence LORD SAVE ME
Geez we really getting into some cult shit with what happened to Bringer, I'm convinced he may have saw the origin of the Hollows or something to that affect.
OH HI VIVIAN (again). Huh? Wdym you have history with the cult thing? I genuinely just thought you were Hugo's half sibling (yes I know he said he forgot but this could be a thing where she isn't showing her face around and by the end she joins him??? I'm trying here, I'm still convinced they're related they have similar eyes and vamp traits.).
OKAY WHY IS SHE AN ACTUAL MC SIMP CHARACTER???? MY DARLING??? GIRLIE POP TRUST ME YOU CAN DO BETTER (sorry Phaethon but yeah...) -........oh she doesn't know. Okay. Don't let her ever find out (or do because I have a weird sadistic joy in seeing people get devasted in realizing something they idolized isn't what it is lmao).
Oh she is with Hugo...throwing the sister shit out, me being an idiot again lmao.
Oh thank god I did play in the right order HAH, but also Vivian??? You good girl? Did you just get a ptsd episode? You need anything?
.....SIENNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA NOOOOOO, omg Mira that poor girl.
Omg Vivian can see the future? That's so cool, but also I feel so bad for her. MOVE OVER HUGO I'M TAKING HER AND PROTECTING HER NOW
....EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO I DON'T WANNA PLAY AS HIM YET I DONT WANNA I DONT WANNAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
holy shit I've been at this nonstop for five hours help me. I desperately need a break so I'm stopping here for now. I'll reblog this with my finishing thoughts and rambles at a later time.
