I'M READING CHAPTER 26 AND IM LITERALLY CLUTCHING MY PEARLS OVER HOW TENSE EVERYTHING FEELS
First of all, love love love how mc was moving in this chapter. I love how despite literally tying the knots of their souls together, Vergil's reassurance and spending hours carving each other into the other's body, mc still has those moments of insecurity where she fears that Vergil has doubts about bonding their souls together like it's so relatable but also girl, come on now remember what Vergil said last chapter?😭 and I love how its expressed that shes realized how much she adores vergil and how she misses him so badly like your honor please reunite them soon and safe🥺💗 also the realization as to why Vergil had thrown Yamato to mc and how hes counting on her to return it to him and return back to him alive like God i love them
Second of all, love how you're utilizing Yamato. There's something familiar about mc offering blood to Yamato, Yamato absorbing it and it allowing her to wield it. Not sure what series that you drew inspiration from, but it reminds me of that one anime called 'Kill La' Kill' but I'd love to know where the actual inspiration is from!
Third of all, I love the absolute tension in this chapter and the build up of it all. Ive been on a horror movie kick lately (WE DO HORROR MOVIE MARATHONS DURING THE SUMMER IN THIS HOUSE❗️❗️)the absolute claustrophobic circumstances that mc has to journey through reminds me of movies like The Descent or As Above, So Below. I feel so immersed in the story to the point where i can almost feel mc's uncomfortableness with the situation. Especially with her swimming through the pool of blood like she's so real for saying that she'd debate cutting her face off if blood got splashed onto it cuz I would honestly die💀
Last and foremost, LOVE HOW MUCH OF A BADASS MC'S BECOMING AND HER NEWFOUND CONFIDENCE!! and you know what? Ive always imagined her power manifesting itself into a magenta color so im kinda happy that thats how it is!! But I love her resolve to keep on going and to keep on fighting despite the many obstacles she has to go through (and that's not even accounting the fact that she has yet to go through the biggest one) and the ending scene? Especially with the way you described her going into a stance that's similar to what she's seen Vergil done before? IT'S GIVING KILL BILL SO IMAGINE THE ABSOLUTE HYPE I FELT WHEN I SAW YOU POST SNL 27 OUT OF CONTEXT AND SEEING MISS UMA THURMAN LIKE I'M HERE FOR IT AND SO EXCITED FOR IT!!!
Thanks again for a great chapter queen! Hope that you're staying cool and hydrated and that youre getting a well deserved break after all the hectiness from work!
omggg thank you for this feedback! as for the Yamato absorbing MC's blood i actually got the idea from an old anime series called Blood+, where Saya cuts her thumb on her katana and there's a dip in the blade where the blood will sit and it's her blood she that will kill chiropterans. so, while the sword doesn't absorb her blood necessarily i just had the idea of MC using it in a similar way where it opens up an opportunity to use it — where it wouldn't work before if Vergil wasn't so attached to MC. Kill La Kill is a series i've watched though, and yeah i can see now that you mention it that it's similar, but it wasn't what i had in mind!
MC's color kind of comes from Psylocke a little bit but also something that contrasts heavily against Vergil's blue so i'm glad you also had that in mind! and yes, all that time she's spent watching Vergil fight has paid off some, not a lot but some enough for her to be able to mimic some of his movements! but i'm doing okay and still hanging in there, i hope to get back to writing this week and being online more, but thank you for asking and thank you for this comment!
