post-game thoughts!!! Even though things are ongoing, there's just a lot of fun stuff happening
It's Just Deca
both for Eichi and Hades
It's Just Deca
Hades obviously has a lot going on, as he's earlier in his development than Eichi is, who has been here for years
It's Just Deca
His mindscape is really on the nose bcuz he's a really surface-level guy. Like yeah there's a lot under the surface but Hades is as up front as he has the vocabulary for. He just does not have extensive vocabulary
It's Just Deca
Anyway he's sitting in an unlocked cage because he's putting himself in time out but it also is meant to represent the distance he's keeping between himself and others mmmmostly purposely
It's Just Deca
like when someone ends up being a victim of his, his go-to move is "oh, i need to go away"
It's Just Deca
but it's also. Hades feels stuck in place because he has no idea where to GO
It's Just Deca
its very concerning!
It's Just Deca
he's going to try to itemize it like Persephone suggested but like, that's all he can do and he isn't even sure how to do that, it's all too complicated and he is a dumb dog
It's Just Deca
thankfully Izanagi making him be sIV's guard dog/manservant for a bit feels like Solid Direction and so he is very relieved for it
It's Just Deca
that and nemesis suggesting "take a friend and go talk to them" is like. he really WANTS to but he's tried talking directly before and most people shut down
It's Just Deca
but really what has helped the most is people who just kinda wanna be with him. And K just getting fully in the cage with him and Valor convincing him to come out
It's Just Deca
Because what he's craving most is substantial connections right now and has mostly been kinda fucking that up himself by not feeling like he's allowed to
It's Just Deca
Also he had some really good threads
It's Just Deca
nsfw text in this but
Can we talk? ミ☆
oh my god this dumb dog
It's Just Deca
Hades "please-believe-me-I've-never-had-a- boner-about-Persephone" avante en garde
𝚁𝙴𝙰
a bad(?) dog
It's Just Deca
also good is getting partially naked for the benefit of others
It's Just Deca
Now Eichi's issues are harder to get at
Mote ✧
Hades is a delight. It's so funny to me that for the people that have come to Pink he's like /JUST GONNA PLAY GAMES, but Hades he's like 'ok I'll invite him over'
It's Just Deca
He's a lil more subtle about it, just kinda... having a little bar. He's struggling mostly because it DID take a Heart Game for him to feel comfortable with BARiTONES, finally. And now because of that and because of his own fears and such, he's struggling with connecting with LiliS
It's Just Deca
Mote ✧
: IT'S SO GOOD
It's Just Deca
hades realizing he has a friend...
左樂
Did you see that due to Lark accidentally having ambiguous wording Valor assumed Hades killed Lark before and Lark went like "wait wait wait let me clarify that, sorry"
autumnal li
aww, eichi
Mote ✧
oh no Eichi
It's Just Deca
左樂
: LOL no i didn't
It's Just Deca
LiliS, for a long time, represented what he hated about imeeji and the people in it
autumnal li
lupine's reaction to that tag was So Much. too much for even just the two tags. definitely also some "buddy this is _your_ mindscape, we're supposed to talk about you", but.
左樂
it's kind of funny in a black comedy way
It's Just Deca
shrinking violets who rely on the goodness of others to not die, people who got self-righteous about it whenever they did something that upset someone else(it was him, the someone else was him)
It's Just Deca
CW: SUICIDAL IDEATION AND SUICIDE because enstars!!!!-----
autumnal li
(edits a tiny bit)
autumnal li
and also, he NEEDS to touch those memories, eichi, before he leaves. he absolutely needs to see that awful hostage-gone-wrong thread
It's Just Deca
Because of his illness, Eichi was always prepared to die in canon. And because of him and the way he did things in canon, a number of students did jump from the school roof to end their lives. And Eichi himself later needs to be talked off of the same roof because of it all
It's Just Deca
so after that, and after everything, Eichi found that to him, and for the people he loves, it is far more important for him to have something to live for
It's Just Deca
and he does. He lives for Tenn and Wataru, he lives for idols, he lives for his dreams, and he is willing to do anything not to fall from that ideal
🌸 𝕝aila𝕗ell
K absolutely wants to spend time with him, he also has many issues with being a bad dog and craves the company of anyone who might seem to get that
It's Just Deca
So Eichi absolutely shaped the way BARiTONES does business. He came in, said "there is no reason to pretend we are something we're not, we should crush everyone to make the staircases we need to climb", declared himself leader and BARiTONES was largely just ok with that because they're villain types
It's Just Deca
also Eichi is cute and they think it's fun to call him their leader
It's Just Deca
but now he's like "guess i gotta put myself BACK IN THE VILLAIN CLOSET" and like objectively yes he is super happy on LiliS
It's Just Deca
he lives with Tenn and everyone is nice but Eichi is bored by nice and he wants to be allowed to kill torture kidnap etc if he feels it is necessary and really!!! he doesn't think he should be judged for that!!!
It's Just Deca
sevendials: that's cute... Hades would like bad dog friend tbh
autumnal li
f f f f f f
autumnal li
why does _torture_ need to be on that list eichi
It's Just Deca
it's very important to him, to be allowed to be cruel if it benefits him!
autumnal li
can they compromise on the torture
It's Just Deca
LOL
It's Just Deca
I wish
It's Just Deca
Eichi is willing to compromise and he has, so far! It just results in him feeling a little bit of resentment and a lot of disconnect
autumnal li
(the number of people just sort of quietly assuming shiemi wants them to be good and soft is non-zero, and I just keep thinking of an early conversation where I checked in with Mika to make sure the new direction lilis was going in was okay with them too, and they were like "actually Shiemi hasn't ever liked the super-pacifist route, she's always felt like
autumnal li
LiliS should get to live, too. As long as they don't go as hard-core as BARiTONES to the point where other units bus them without hesitation for being Objectively The Worst," or something like that.)
It's Just Deca
Eichi is like. "I will survive if we just be a little more mean. but i will secretly hate not being MUCH more mean"
autumnal li
lmao
It's Just Deca
he is obviously willing to compromise because lilis is soft good kids. He will not abide complete pacifism, but he will just secretly not like complete bastard hours
autumnal li
they just REALLY need to actually talk. Which in theory this event was made for, so. I will just Keep Tagging for the moment.
autumnal li
Lupine is specifically trying to talk about his issues because about 10 seconds into this game he decided he didn't trust it and that it had a decent chance of being a Secret Trauma Game in Disguise where the losing teams will all be killed, and he promised Eichi.
It's Just Deca
fffff baby boy
It's Just Deca
Eichi is like "the trauma here is the mortifying ordeal of Being Known"
It's Just Deca
BUT
autumnal li
It's Just Deca
his feelings about it all were dumped on Izzy just because he pressed and Eichi was like "fuck it, I'm not getting out of here without saying, I guess"
It's Just Deca
It's Just Deca
he's a messy bitch
It's Just Deca
why isn't he allowed to be the drama
autumnal li
oh eichi
It's Just Deca
He's a very bitter person and he misses being allowed to be bitter
autumnal li
I'm just. very very at more tags on this thread.
autumnal li
some of the things eichi is chafing at on lilis are completely fair but i think there are some assumptions on multiple fronts here that need reexamining
we have it all
lmao can't believe Valor wound up being even a little helpful
autumnal li
i told you valor was helping people
It's Just Deca
LOL
It's Just Deca
oh yea Eichi is just a really guarded person. He talks a lot but that DEFINITELY does not mean he emotionally connects with people
It's Just Deca
Actually, he and Tenn got into their relationship...... because Eichi blackmailed him into keeping quiet and then he just dumped his feelings on him because he didn't feel comfortable enough at the time to talk candidly about them with BARiTONES
It's Just Deca
then they just ended up LIKING to talk and Eichi got really invested
It's Just Deca
he just.... has a hard time...
It's Just Deca
socializing like a person
𝚁𝙴𝙰
how terrible
🌸 𝕝aila𝕗ell
Come talk to the bad dogs of Bad End, Hades, surely this can only end well.
It's Just Deca
Can we talk? ミ☆
you know what this might as well be happening
Can we talk? ミ☆
most of Izanagi's family are also sadistic murderers so this is fine
It's Just Deca
LOL nice.
It's Just Deca
Can we talk? ミ☆
Izanagi is, somehow, not the worst person to be hearing this
聖騎士
But Oniisama is wonderful and someone to look up to....
It's Just Deca
聖騎士
I laughed so much in Sudden Death when Tsukasa was like
聖騎士
"I used to be really good at being able to read people. But lately I feel like it's been hard to tell..."
聖騎士
And I was like
聖騎士
no you've never been a good judge of character, Kasa. You think Tenshouin is the epitome of what one should strive to be

That snippet from the thread with Nem is amazing
It's Just Deca
Nem is so cute :>
It's Just Deca
he told her he likes her as a person and nem was like EXCUSE
we have it all
you can't just say you LIKE people hades, wtf
It's Just Deca
He's GONNA
It's Just Deca
>:T
Can we talk? ミ☆
Izanagi honestly has no idea what to do about Hades having a whole concern about his wellbeing so he's just not going to think about it
It's Just Deca
LOL legit
It's Just Deca
Hades really is just a big dog and he is concerned about everyone's wellbeing
