appletun? pretty please ๐
These take. An embarrassingly long time to complete.
Man eugenics sucks. Give this flower bud purple eyes or DIE Nintendo, I am NOT spending another 2 days on one more shiny.
MC from TDBK getting transported to TWST and getting social whiplash.
She has that Google loading logo hovering over her head like "why are these people actually normal what is going on"
She meets Ace and Deuce like "oh, the dynamic duo. Must be like Kaito and Luca."
Two minutes later: "NOT KAITO AND LUCA, WHY ARE THEY TROUBLEMAKERS???"
She meets Cater and is on guard immediately bc of the internet slang, shying away from talking to him bc he reminds her of Leo at first. Soon after she realizes "wait no, that guy is more like Rui. If he wasn't a flirt." And she's fine with him again. She can't really place Trey for a while. At first she thinks maybe Tohma??? Just British and casual. Eventually she lands on "this guy might be like a non-flirty Haku."
Riddle is like, a family-friendly Romeo? Maybe? No, Ritsu? Ritsu with Romeo's attitude. Maybe? She's not completely sure.
Ruggie immediately reminds her of Lyca, purely bc of the ears, before she learns about beastmen and realizes that Ruggie is absolutely nothing like Lyca. He's sorta like Ren? Job-wise? She guesses. Maybe this one actually is just his own person.
Jack is Alan. No question about it. She's 100% sure. Come on, 'scary' gentle giant who's almost entirely deadpan? Just Alan without the occasional bloodlust. Or criminal record.
I think we all know who Leona is. She clocks him as Jin as soon as learns he's rich. She already knew he was lazy. He's just a bitchier Jin, without his few redeeming qualities.
Octavinelle is where she realizes how much different the ghouls are to these guys. She thought Floyd was like Towa for a moment, before meeting the unlucky realization that he's so much more like Taiga. Jade is almost uncomfortably reminiscent of Thoma, and Azul is just a money-hungry Yuri who's all bark no bite. Yuri with a hint of Ritsu, maybe.
Which is exactly when she realizes that the main difference between these guys and the ghouls is how much nicer, flirtier, and more tolerable the ghouls are. Then again, she was warned almost as soon as she arrived that these students were gonna be problematic.
Then again again, the same thing was said about the ghouls.
Jamil is suspicious to her right off the bat. He runs around doing chores and wtv for an unreasonably unconcerned Dormhead, so maybe Rui? He doesn't seem like Rui. And he was too nice compared to everyone else she'd met at NRC so far.
It takes until the whole thing is over for her to place him as a bitchier, less diplomatic Tohma. Partly. He's like 20% that. The rest is ??? As is most NRC students personalities. Kalim is just Haru without all the stress.
Vil is Romeo. No question. Vil is just a more feminine Romeo, which is fucking beautiful to see. Rook is like, a stalker-y Zenji? He's Zenji but creepy. Epel is just Epel. The way he's forced to conform and not be a delinquent for once kinda feels like if Lyca had a shockingly different upbringing.
Idia is... Half Leo, half Ren? Gamer, internet enthusiast, more Ren than Leo. She's not quite sure how to interact with him. Ortho is like a successful Lyca, mixed with Haru's enthusiasm and Rui's adamancy that his other dorm member learn how to interact with people amicably.
Lillia is Ed. (Old and anachronistic.) Malleus is Ed. (Old and anachronistic.) Silver is Ed. (Sleepy.) Sebek is. Towa plus Romeo (obsessed with someone plus bitchy and demanding)
Other than Ed, Malleus is maybe Alan (no tech) and Haku? (Helpful gentleman) And Silver is maybe the closest person there to Luca.
Besides that, though, the most shockingly thing to MC is how much fucking downtime she gets. The closest thing to the constant cases she goes through is the Overblots, and those only happen like once a month. Ergo, she's usually kinda restless.
Uh, anyway I wrote this all during class and I have just been called out so that's all for now. ๐ Bai
Tdbk chapter 14 spoilers again. Uh.
NO. MC, istg, go to Frostheim rn. Either file a complaint or beat their asses idc but do SOMETHING.
YURI. I GET THAT HES HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME RN AND THERES A LOT GOING ON BUT YURI NEEDS TO GET HIS SHIT TOGETHER BC JIRO IS STILL ENTITELY RELIANT ON HIS CARE.
I DOTN LIEK THIS CHAPTER NAME. THIS BETTER NTO BE AN HONEST CHALTE RNAME.
I refuse. He does not die. We already have enough dead Kirisaki siblings. We do not need another.
Um. See u in like 10-30 minutes maybe ig imma keep reading ๐
TKDB (TDBK? TDB? TDK? TBK? Wtv) crack theory bcuz why not
Reincarnation. Why? I think it would be really funny. And there's a couple lines throughout the game that can be vaguely interpreted that way.
โBeing with you brings up old, old memoriesโฆ Perhaps itโs because you remind me a little of her.โ - Ed
"I know Iโm being selfishโbut sometimes, I wish youโd just forget about meโฆโ - Haku (just thought it would be funny if it was like, 'oh MC trusts him so much bc some part of her brain still remembers him')
Kyklos means cycle in ancient Greek. Apparently.
Yeah no that's it really lmao I just think it'd be funny
U think Kyklos could be a demon that was going to make a deal with MC? Probably not, obv, but like why single her out. Leo DOES say the ghouls r hand-picked by demons.
Full disclosure, I know this is all bullshit, none of this is at all solid ground to stand on, I just think it'd be funny
TKDB 8 spoilers
My brother in Christ step away from her for a minute PLEASE
Taiga you mother fucker istg LEMME SLEEP ALREADY
Thank you to everyone who got me to 500 likes!
Tumblr says people like me. I guess I'm not a complete bitch? Surprising.
Anywho, 500 is a big number and I like big numbers. I'm gonna go make toast now. I can't drink yet, so I can't actually toast to anything, but yk. Next best thing.
Tdbk EP 9 spoil er es
Jiro is going to get us killed are you KIDDING ME
LMAO I GENUINELY DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO THAT. THATS SUCH AN IN CHARACTER THING FOR HIM TO BE WORRIED ABOUT
Well that was a whole big thing- wait how fucking big is that bow???? No wonder he struggled to shoot the right place when just loading it is probably more suited to Odysseus.
"you've got to stop him!" HOW??? HES HOLDING A CHAINSAW AND FIGHTING A MASSIVE SPIDER DEMON. SHES LIKE 5'5 AND HUMAN.
... Okay well that happened-
WHAT THE FUCK. Also what was Jiro's "only other option"???
Awww. Also what the hell is Romeo screaming about, he's the one who shot it. I mean everyone's glad he did but still-
Well, that was fun. Can't wait for the next one in about a week or two. Or more. Or less. Who knows at this point really-
Thank you to everyone who got me to 1000 likes!
I've fucking what-
Uh I had an idea that might've been done B4 but I like it so I'm gonna scream it into the void anyway.
Mad scientist Yuu.
Yuu, who, after the first two or three Overblots, gets really curious about magic and blot in general, and starts to subtly collect blot (either from Overblots, spilled "ink" from the magic pens, or some secret third thing) and keeps it in vials until wanting to do experiments.
It's all probably in Ramshackle's basement or smth, and Yuu probably wouldn't tell Grim (or anyone) in case of disaster or otherwise objections.
I'm just imagining Yuu with a vial of blot, slowly dripping some into a cauldron to see how it affects potions, or putting some in soil to observe how it affects magic and non-magical plants. When they get confident they know what it does, maybe even syringing that shit straight into the stem of the plant. (Or even their own bloodstream)
Just an idea.
May I just say- as a new Tokyo Debunker player, (as of last week,) currently in Hotarubi episode (have been for half of that week, pls help me I can't fail these cases anymore I wish Taiga just threw us out that window-) I am extremely scared to keep playing.
I mean, Episode one, scary, episode 2, horrifying, episode 3, Haru almost died, episode 4 was sorta tame if you ignore... Taiga's existence.
But between the lack of gore in EP. 4 and the lack of gore in EP. 5 (that I've played so far) I am extremely worried for what is to come. This feels like the calm before the storm.
My guard is constantly up I am so prepared to have a corpse or two hurled at me while playing this game I refuse to fall for a false sense of security ALSO PLEASE HELP ME PASS THESE CASES I CANT SEE "DEFEATED" ONE MORE TIME HOW THE HELL DO I WIN THIS 50 IS KICKING MY ASS
oh yeah and Tumblr is now my personal sounding board for Tokyo Debunker related thought hijinks
