just charged my ipad for the first time in months and logged into my old tumblr account by mistake, which led me to my sideblogs, which led me to my old writing/venting blog and Omg. just reading all of those melodramatic high school posts (maybe that’s the wrong word Lol i was a 17 year old grappling w/ the after-effects of years of mental+emotional abuse and the co-dependent behavioral patterns that cropped up as a result) and the little “2368 days ago” fading onto the screen as i scrolled made my frontal lobe feel cavernous ... like my phone feels too-small in my hands right now i feel bizarre.
10 lmao
oh shit for the intimidation scale?
well. the sadist in me approves
Sometimes even old men can surprise you. So far this vacation my dad has said we (me and him) should go on a “guys’ trip” and then today he called me M, despite us never having talked about me being trans. (I’m a coward and I haven’t had the talk with him yet) And then he kept saying it??
Dad: M!
Me, near tears because I’m a sensitive dude: ye?
Dad: you want a beer or a soft drink?
Me: beer’s fine
Dad: yes sir
Me: 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
If you ask me (nobody did lol) if the devs /really/ wanted Kara's inability to tell that Alice was an android at 1st glance (right after establishing that Kara has scifi chemical scanning powers no less) to make sense, all they had to do was say her magicscan hardware (not software?) was damaged during Todd & storeguy's talk & mention that Todd didn't shell out for non-essential repairs bc that's not why he has her anyways? Then just remove the R2 hints/scan & fight help button prompts entirely.
At the end of the day, Nonny, the Alice-is-an-Android plotline got tacked onto the story relatively late in development and the writing staff probably didn't have a whole lot of wiggle room to add things outside of some very small changes. So while I definitely agree with you that showing that Kara's scanning abilities were still damaged would have been a great excuse as to why she doesn't notice that Alice is an android, that would have also changed so much about how the Kara POV would have functioned that it may have set the game back in development by several months - if not years. And like it or not, QD did have a deal with Sony to produce these games on time, and this would have occurred long before the push by fans to not absolutely break game developers during crunch time came into the mainstream. They did not have the time to rework Kara's entire storyline, so they had to make do with what they already had.
Did that cause a litany of issues with Kara's narrative? I mean, the decision to have Kara know the entire time but be in denial about it did turn a beautiful story about found family into a Queer Horror Story about never truly being able to escape your abusers, so yes. But at the same time, we do also have to consider what was and wasn't possible for the developers to change when the decision to insert the twist was made - because DBH isn't a novel or a tv show. DBH is a video game and therefore must follow very different rules when it comes to making alterations to its narrative.
It's the same thing that happened with North and the Norkus romance following the Marla-Riley merge. North is basically following Marla's narrative progression, which was never supposed to have her openly? falling in love with Markus. But since North likely also has some splashes of Riley's scenes in her narrative, they end up feeling more pasted on than something that was actually intended to be part of her plot. But because the merge happened so late in development, there wasn't enough time to really alter anything, so North is basically flip-flopping between lines and scenes that were originally intended to be spoken by two very different women in Markus's life. Again, does this cause some issues? Oh, hell yes. But did it need to happen because this was the only way to adapt the character of North given the time frame that the developers were working in, without having them throw hundreds of hours in the trash, potentially breaking the game's functionality, and setting QD months back in the developmental process? Also yes.
Hi Yuna ☀️ I was wondering, do you have any self-ships?
HELLO DEAREST NANA! yes i do, and they're all listed here (☆▽☆)
i’ve been thinking lately ( pretty... casually? i didn’t have an actual reason for it? ) if the opposite would have happened in the game, and we had emmet in hisui and ingo remaining in the present time... man, ingo would slowly self destruct.
in hisui he doesn’t because he can’t remember emmet —— it makes him sad without him understanding exactly the reason for such a feeling, but he doesn’t get destroyed by that sadness. but with opposite roles, and him in the present, remembering everything...?
in all honesty, i don’t think he would get as far as to willingly join a team to get his brother back, but mostly because he thinks of emmet —— he wouldn’t want me to become evil, and join forces with the ones we’ve always fought against, he would be thinking this. but... he would push himself so much to the limits, trying now to find emmet, now to not think about his disappearance to not go mad; forget to eat, or willingly not eating to dedicate more time to researches; trusting others less and less, to the point of wanting to do everything utterly alone, looking for emmet included... despite he wouldn’t join a team, he would become horribly easy to manipulate into doing anything you want, without him even fully realizing what you’re doing, if not at all.
not to mention, he’d probably start... lying to himself? repeating himself that emmet is just home with a fever so many times that he’d genuinely start to believe it? to the point of going home and talking to no one, believing that emmet is really there; making something to eat for the both of them and then justifying having to throw away emmet’s food with “that fever of yours is really not making you eat”; and so on and so forth. everyone would see him going mad, until one day he’s as calm as ever ( but with a weird maniacal light in his eyes ), telling that emmet is at home with a fever, and “what do you mean, he’s back? he’s always been here. but yesterday he got a fever.”, and everyone suddenly realizes oh... i think he snapped.
