fusing thanatos in epiai / the answer

sorry helly r. I love when humans are married

the answer frustrates me on a conceptual level

like this social-simulator using a calendar system to showcase this apathetic husk of a protagonist with a laissez-faire attitude toward their life transform into a someone who cherishes the people theyve met over the course of your playthrough so dearly theyre willing to lay down their life for their safety is moving. by making you play through each and every day of this persons life, from the monotony, to the horror, to the simple pleasures, allows them to flourish into this complex, whole person who learns to love life

and i love the idea of flipping that on its head, taking a character who defined themselves in relationship to your protagonist and placing them in a timeloop where theres no calendar progression, where the days dont move forward, where you play through march 31st over and over and over again, because when you loose someone important to you, every day feels like an eternity

but the answer does do anything with that idea; it just uses it as pretext for its eighteen-million boring dungeons with half a good scene sprinkled between them, and its such a goddamn shame

and, like, ugh, i understand time constraints and technical limitations are the reason why its the way that it is, but they had something special here. and they squandered it

the answer frustrates me on a conceptual level

based on that one bit of thieves den dialogue

The ideal and the real

modern horror story: a single 200 chapter fic on ao3 summarized as a “collection of drabbles.” it is tagged for 200 different fandoms and every single character who so much as breathes in any of the chapters. it takes you an hour to scroll past. it is always at the top of your search results because it updates three times a week.

"I am a person. You are not."

"I'm not her. I'm not. I'm me."
