Reverse 1999 - Blog Posts
they really took emotional damage to the next level, huh 😭
Arcanists are...something else. Their weapons are so unhinged.
Vertin: So, what made you attracted to Windsong?
Vila: Her girl loser energy. She's pathetic, in a cute way! :>
(*for angst: windsong overhears but just hears her name, loser and pathetic)
Not the Anime timing 😭
Let's flesh out on this by the sheer fury I have over not communication, the worst part? It could be a fr thing
Windsong Is very easily discouraged, as we saw in Farewell Rayashki, but having Vila and Rayashki by her side strengthened her little confidence. Although Rayashki is not there anymore, she still counts on Vila's words.
So, when she walks out of their shared room with eyes filled with stars and very excited, she wouldn't have seen what comes next. An accident on her part, that's for sure.
"Windsong is quite a loser, stubborn, pitiful and pathetic-" Vila's easily recognizable voice saying such words about Windsong, and it hurt.
Windsong held her breath, feeling heavy, and her stomach dropping, giving her nausea. The annoying ringing in her ears prevented her from listening to anything after those words. She tried not to cry, it felt hard to hold back when all those words used to describe her, to denigrate her, were said by her lover.
So she ran to her room, closing the door after her and dropping everything in her hands to the floor. Had she not been quick to conclusions, maybe she would have heard the full conversation.
"-and she is brave, strong and determined. My comrade Windsong may be a little pitiful, but that's what makes her so charming. Her sad eyes and string determination are what I love about her. She's not one to give up on the things she loves, even if people turn against her. That, is what I love about Windsong. Everything."
It doesn't take long for Vila to notice, however, since they do share a room. It wasn't hard to notice the sheets formed into a ball and sobbing sounds coming from it.
Of course that's Windsong, her shoes are by the side, and she didn't even try her best to hide. Vila would have smiled at this silliness, however, she found herself concerned by the sobbing.
She sat by the edge of the bed, placing her hands carefully where she believes would be Windsong's shoulders, trying to comfort the sobbing girl. "Comrade Windsong, why are you crying? Care to tell me what upsets you?"
There's a moment of silence before she receives an answer, a trembling, insecure and... Dare I say pitiful, reply.
"D-do you really love me? Am- am I too-" Sobs "pitiful and, and, and a loser? Did you date me out-" sobs again "out of pity?"
"What do you mean, Comrade Windsong? I would never date you of pity!" Vila's voice is filled with concern. She tries to pull down the sheet covering Windsong's face, and she lets her, revealing the tear-filled, messy sobbing face.
It melted Vila's heart.
"But, I- I heard you say that to Vertin..."
And that's when they actually start talking. Vila ends up having a long talk to Windsong about how much she loves her, and also about assuming which is a conversation they had a long time ago and gets reinforced.
In the end, Windsong still has trouble with assuming the worst of herself, but Vila is always there to lift her up. And they did cuddle for the night, Windsong needed the emotional support.
silly Windsong/Vila shitpost
Vila: Comrade Windsong, there you are! I was wondering if you've my updog?
Windsong: ... Hm? *her ass was in yapland (her head)*
Vila: My updog. Have you seen it?
Windsong: Uh... Sorry, Vila, but what's updog? I've never heard of such a thing. Is it some kind of new phenomena, or maybe a never seen before critt—
Vila:
i like to imagine marcus being able to lift things twice her size (you can thank her giant suitcase for that), and a few meters away, you see windsong struggling to lift up a 40 lbs box despite being like 5'10 😭

Regulus Has More Depth than it Seems
Ever since I started playing Reverse 1999, Regulus has been portrayed as Vertin's energetic friend, pirate rocker, maybe with ADHD, and overall fun gal. I didn't pay attention to her much, but after watching her anecdote, I realized that there were many things that I glossed over about her.
During Regulus' anecdote, I saw this line. That means Regulus was old enough to remember her mother's demeanor towards her or what her mother was like.
Regulus is a street kid who was practically raised by Mr. APPle. Broadcasting music illegally in her pirate ship, she has gotten trouble in the side of the law several times.
Although she never went to school, she is very bright (knowing mechanical know-hows in Laplace and doing Math in Apeiron).
It pains me that Regulus can sometimes be reduced to a comedy gag by the fandom. She might be seriously funny and memetic but she is also profoundly devoted to Vertin and a sweetheart. She was the first one Vertin saved in the suitcase after all!
This was brought to my attention when I saw a line during her anecdote. The mayor of Gold Dust (who was part of the Order of Enlightenment) wanted to invite Regulus to a worship for the Sufferer (Arcana) and Regulus expressed contempt for that:
This line means that Regulus knows about Vertin's past! This means that Vertin must have been comfortable enough to open up to her regarding the Breakaway incident that happened during Chapter 3.
She was also first to hug Vertin when she came back and cried bitterly from being separated from her.
When Regulus joined Vertin for the first time, Vertin was worried that she might feel burdened or restricted going with her. Then Regulus says this:
She was sweet in the beginning and she had been a loyal partner to Vertin ever since. I know that for sure since she went to prison multiple times already for her. She never gave up on Vertin and never stopped trying when the Foundation kept her unconcious.
I love vertin so much cuz she has the energy of a standard middle age man babygirl
so i ended up my relationtips with hoyo games and almost immidiately had fallen into another chinese gacha god frkn damn it

Hi.
I just reread the first chapter and wanted to draw them talking or something. I wasn't sure about the lighting and the atmosphere, so I make it blurry and foggy to hide my mistakes.
Btw I didn't tell anyone that I went hiatus (again) because I didn't know that I'd go hiatus.
I'm still socially inactive but at least I'm drawing again.
Also I've started watermarking my art. I didn't like adding my name on my art because I thought it would only stay on my accounts anyway, so there's no need for people to look up my name.
It just feels weird having my work shared in places I can't control. idk. It's not a big deal but eehh..
Anyway I'm off see you guys in 6 months jkjkunless
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
That silhouette in the middle
Looks oddly familiar
on the purpose of references in r1999
I was thinking about how meta the writing gets while playing Blonney’s anecdote. To an extent, it’s due to just how many references they put in it, but it’s also not the first time the narration has been directly commenting onto itself.
I find it interesting because usually, this tends to put a distance between the story and the reader, since you’re expected to no longer experience the narrative « first hand » but actually reflect on the way a story is constructed. It’s expecting a certain level of prerequisite knowledge from its readers in a sense.
It got me thinking into wether this has a purpose beyond Bluepoch enjoying the settings that much. I don’t think this is necessarily what they intended with it, but actually, the way we’re expected to interact with those stories, the distance, the callbacks, that’s kind of similar to how Vertin interacts with the world around her isn’t it?
She cannot experience the flow of time earnestly anymore, humanity has already been through all of this before. And since the Manus seems to be fucking with the timeline, those historical references have an investigative purpose for her. Things are no longer just happening, time is reflecting upon itself.
So that kind of unconsciously brings us closer to Vertin in a way.
Idk this is nothing but i just thought it was kind of neat.
If the suppression of emotions and memories can cause memory loss, then there's a slight possibility that it may be one of the reasons why Urd can barely remember. We're not sure yet what Urd has truly gone through but I don't think being Reversed and braving the storm and surviving all the same can lead to anything good and her past is still a mystery to be uncovered.
So possibly it's not just because of the side effects of surviving the storm but also suppressing memories and deep emotions of what she'd gone through is the cause of her amnesiac state. It's an interesting thought to say the least.
Also this implies that there's a slight chance of Vertin slowly losing her memories due to blocking and suppressing strong emotions. Which could not only deal some good heavy angst but also parallel Urd's own if she truly is her mother.
Wapaloosies are Critters.
They most likely survived since they are arcane creatures.
I'm imagining Vertin catching these agile little things. On a separate note, Vertin lost her friends in the Storm before she met Regulus. A failed experiment. I wonder if we'll ever have this story explored further?
JOHN TITOR MENTIONED YOOO
It's the stuff in the main story (chapter 8)
