anyway is anyone else thinking about how lucas likely accepted that claus was dead for the three years he was gone. how flint kept looking for someone lucas likely had already given up on. and then it turns out he's actually been here this whole time and now lucas has to go through the grieving process again knowing that this time claus chose to leave. I Think About This
something I will never understand:
a pedophile can say "ooh this character that is 500 yrs old but looks like a toddler is so hot" and the whole internet, reasonably, gets really mad and says "oh, that's disgusting! you're still attracted to a child! it doesn't matter if it can reason and speak and hold intelligent conversations!" which makes sense ofc because it's fucking vile
but then a zoophile says "ooh this character that is a literal dog just anthro is so hot" and everyone is like "yeah! it's totally okay that you're attracted to this character because it can reason and speak and hold intelligent conversations! even though it's a literal animal!" for some reason??
if you're attracted to an animal character including furries, you're a fucking creep. you're just as bad as a person attracted to fictional children. you're just as bad.
if you all are going to defend zoophilia, at least be bold about your depravity so I know to block you..or maybe throw a brick at your head home alone style
i wanted to make a reference page for my Bakugou headcanons and so i have his colors on hand !
so like. if you want to get rid of fyodor for good do you kill him and then have someone else kill you right before the transformation occurs. or does that automatically make fyodor respawn in the body of whoever killed the one that killed him. if a snake bites him and the venom kills him does the snake just fucking explode and a whole man shows up
Y'see, no, y'see, what I mean is like
Claus starts the very first battle with 42 HP (the number 42 is associated with death in Japan). He loses his shoes as he ventures to his doom at the Drago Plateau (another piece of Japanese death symbolism). He re-emerges as a nigh-silent, apparently emotionless revenant - with a broken, disjointed heartbeat. Some Tazmilians speak of him as if he's already obviously dead, and even suggest Flint oughtta give up on his lost son. Which is cold and painful to hear, but does reinforce the game's consistent theme of moving on from grief. This perpetual tension between clinging to the past out of love & hope, and coming to terms with a bygone loss.
When Hinawa's ghost speaks to Claus, she says, "You must be so exhausted." Personally, I get the sense this implies a deathly weariness beyond just how overworked n' stressed out the kid is (especially considering the person saying it is a ghost herself). But more importantly, she tells him, "Come to your mother." Which would beโฆ kind of a deranged and horrible thing for her to ask of him, if he wasn't already supposed to be dead. She calls to him from beyond the grave, and asks him to join her at last. And he does, without question. Recognizing he's been kept alive against his will this whole time, a tormented spirit that was never permitted to move on, trapped in a robotic corpse that's been twisted beyond repair.
His three-years-delayed death, though heartwrenching, brings the story's motifs of grief and acceptance to a natural conclusion. Flint has to finally let go, Lucas has to find peace with it. You can't re-animate the past, or fix anything by selfishly pursuing it. In fact, you may just wind up zombifying its image into something corrupt, something hardly recognizable (Porky does this constantly ๐คง). Only by letting it lie can you honor it, and begin moving toward a better future.
'Course, this is just my impression of what Itoi's intentions were with Claus. One of a bazillion possible interpretations, and by no means the most definitive. Even on the off chance I'm totally right about what he was goin' for, he's a chill dude who's stated plenty of times he welcomes fans to find their own meaning in these games. That's kinda the point of narrative art, after all. I personally feel like the story hits harder if Claus' suicide was yet another reckless choice he made, rather than a necessary course of fate. Interpreting it instead as a second tragedy all its own - with its own slew of implications - rather than a conclusion to the first. Lettin' the character be more than just a sacrificial symbol. That's just me, though. ๐คธโโ๏ธ
But altogether I just love how many ways this game can be read and re-read. How much it has to offer, if you peel back the layers and inspect it a little differently. And how other fans are always drawing my attention to different angles, makin' me reconsider it in new and compelling ways.

Alright then,โ Chuuya nonetheless continued. โIf letting Teruko live was such a bad idea, I'll make sure I don't repeat my mistakes with you.โ
the fic name is Wingless Angel if you're curious, by rabidbites (me)
I have an idea! ๐ (if you don't mind such thing, of course!)
Everyone reblog this ask and write about the fic you're the most proud of. Published one, unpublished one, work in progress, doesn't matter! Just say some nice things about your work. ๐
Heck yeah! Feel free to share a few sentences youโre proud of! Tag a friend or several!
Iโll go first!
This is a line of dialogue from a semi-crack fic my friend and I work on periodically:
โI highly doubt thereโs a bomb in your e-mail, Timothy,โ Jon says, emerging from his office, looking all for the world like a disgruntled rat in a posh button-up and knitted sweater. A posh rat โ a prat, if you will.
