okay FINALLY getting back on the ep8 horse
pixie lovemail
once again i'm trying to force myself to just Go instead of commenting on every single detail so please don't expect these plurks to be as indepth
pixie lovemail
but there is just something DEEPLY FUCKING UNSETTLING about this and i hate it https://images.plurk.com/7vH6JSYU6XIKLNAJXkcNeW.png
pixie lovemail
battler my mans i get what you're trying to do here but HHHHHHHH\
pixie lovemail
"Ange stood all alone at the window, staring at the others and trying to figure out what sort of relationship the witch of the portrait and her grandfather had." this is a very complicated question ange and unfortunately the answer is 1.1 million words long and is not suitable for six year olds
pixie lovemail
Interesting how there's an established relationship between Beato and the family here.
pixie lovemail
beato knows that young ange is getting a babby crush on her
pixie lovemail
(i know this isn't the canon reason but i don't like the canon reason so shush)
pixie lovemail
the continued banter about beato being bice's granddaughter is significantly weirder with kinzo in the room
Wolfgirl Winter
i like to think of it as, a director's commentary track, or something
Wolfgirl Winter
it's a different kind of story so it's fine if the creators and some of the "actors" step outside the fourth wall
pixie lovemail
It's interesting how, like, the talk around returning the gold sorta parallels how a lot of the conflict in the early parts of each of Beato's games were driven by economic concerns and the siblings trying to armtwist Krauss out of the money
pixie lovemail
It's a fairytale, "fun" version of that
pixie lovemail
lmaoooooo https://images.plurk.com/49oX0nfzUnbRo1V7K04vFu.png
pixie lovemail
god i'm once again struck how like
pixie lovemail
really compelling chiru fantasy kinzo is a character in a strictly existential sense
pixie lovemail
what is it like being a generally nice if occaisonally grumpy and/or mischievous old man when the "real" version of you was responsible for the pain and suffering of all your children on an insane scale
Wolfgirl Winter
kinzo doesn't deserve his redemption, but his kids certainly do.
pixie lovemail
yeah. i think like. this "kinzo" is entirely a construct of what battler thinks the ideal grandpa for ange would be, same for natsuhi's "kinzo" advising her and helping her through her troubles
pixie lovemail
it's weird and complicated and messed up
pixie lovemail
ahhhhh finally some sweet sweet character insight that doesn't feel slightly off https://images.plurk.com/1wxDmdrSBh1W0fDQ7NNDAQ.png
pixie lovemail
Returning the gold seals the deal on this being the very last game. Of course she'd feel lonely, this is it. https://images.plurk.com/6VDjkmSMep3bXWBYjSaoyA.png
pixie lovemail
love being right about umineko https://images.plurk.com/3G8vzNeTYVLretyPxETbs7.png
pixie lovemail
i say to cover up the fact i am also feeling REALLY melancholic about this, and this exact feeling is what made me delay episode 8 for three fucking months,
pixie lovemail
fuck. https://images.plurk.com/56AA2SxbZdas2vYVA6yGQZ.png
pixie lovemail
fuck me this is so soft https://images.plurk.com/VILj50v3AVG1D5tFW9DbN.png
pixie lovemail
i can in fact feel myself start to cry about this
pixie lovemail
just fucking destroying me
pixie lovemail
fuck me https://images.plurk.com/51tPq6a3FzgjAGJitvu5oP.png
pixie lovemail
god this is ryukishi reaching straight through the screen and just. giving the exact encouragement people like me who got way too fucking attached to umineko needed huh
pixie lovemail
and it's up to her what that truth is
pixie lovemail
god. ffffffuck me
pixie lovemail
ange......
pixie lovemail
i'm not screencapping everything but i feel like my heart is being put on a slab and repeatedly pounded with a mallet
pixie lovemail
eyyyy metajoke https://images.plurk.com/ErD9mD0PDxeo6tBdMzDKX.png
Wolfgirl Winter
yeah, it's. it's a lot.
Cute Quinn
god Land sounds like it was fucking wild
Wolfgirl Winter
local author demands six year old beta her fic
pixie lovemail
this talk about the message bottles is a Lot
pixie lovemail
lmao
Cute Quinn
a character from it shows up in episode 9
Cute Quinn
in like an omake bit
pixie lovemail
oh right last note
pixie lovemail
should i read that
pixie lovemail
i've heard it's divisive
Cute Quinn
I liked it
Cute Quinn
it's short and low-key
Wolfgirl Winter
huh, I haven't heard anything bad about it
Wolfgirl Winter
it's just an omake, really.
Cute Quinn
ep8 is the divisive one really
pixie lovemail
huh, i'll read then
pixie lovemail
the witch of the liveread podcast i follow mutters a lot about how much she disliked it
pixie lovemail
anyways the thing with the message bottles comes back to whether you want to see with love or not.
pixie lovemail
whether they stories or plans depends on how much you want to read into sayo's pain.
pixie lovemail
at the end of the day the answer is probably a little bit of both
pixie lovemail
god https://images.plurk.com/39gktaE4FVObhOsSq3l9XM.png
pixie lovemail
ANGE IS LITERALLY RIGHT THERE BEATO https://images.plurk.com/7AqbTUqBy3KrciTYoJZSLr.png
pixie lovemail
it's a good thing the tea room isn't part of this because otherwise ange would be lunging across the table to throttle beato as she says that
Wolfgirl Winter
beato trying to slide into his dms, but she accidentally made a groupchat
pixie lovemail
"A living funeral." hhhhhhhhhhhhh
pixie lovemail
looks at ep7
pixie lovemail
that's an interesting ndo
pixie lovemail
Oho. To the sea of fragments.
pixie lovemail
The reveal of the doomsday clock being semi-public knowledge is... interesting.
pixie lovemail
oh shit back to ootsuki
pixie lovemail
we're back to ange's journey huh
pixie lovemail
As Ange in-game is fervently denying any trace of love, Ange on the journey is following along with the most loveless theory.
pixie lovemail
"I can't... tell you about it."
pixie lovemail
because "your mom and dad went on a rampage, i killed your dad, and then your mom told me that she didn't love you before i killed her" is just
pixie lovemail
way too much for a six year-old
pixie lovemail
And of course, an Ange that denies the fantasy completely in-game follows with an Ange that isn't leaning on fantasy at all on her journey, hence her more loveless, cruel theories.
pixie lovemail
If you can't borrow the power of a real witch, the black witch creeps in instead. https://images.plurk.com/61kHITdvwSgxWTRn9wBTBa.png
pixie lovemail
fuck me this is depressing
pixie lovemail
GOD https://images.plurk.com/2bIs9OwehvPhSZ2hYG7Klp.png
pixie lovemail
sudden monochrome clock is the funniest gag in umineko even when it happens twice
pixie lovemail
YOU DON'T LIKE M. ZAKKY?
pixie lovemail
...this is an Ange that wouldn't hesitate to hurl herself down the cliff for a second if it meant finding the truth.
pixie lovemail
amakusa very very very subtly warning her about his real job https://images.plurk.com/3yIpdNWV0jiBw67e7hcTVH.png
pixie lovemail
she is, in fact, both passively and actively suicidal, https://images.plurk.com/4od3TtGQUiwTel3XX4x3qo.png
pixie lovemail
can juuza read ange's internal monologue or something https://images.plurk.com/1JWBiAGUN1nR50tyeFwX1p.png
pixie lovemail
why is it this asshole that's insightful https://images.plurk.com/43zC1tkR3sTmx2e6avA56P.png
pixie lovemail
again if you look with love this REALLY seems like amakusa trying to warn ange off from visiting rokkenjima
pixie lovemail
"A journey to have revenge by exposing the truth."
pixie lovemail
ah.
pixie lovemail
ah motherfucker
pixie lovemail
is that the sound of a great detective i hear in the distance,
pixie lovemail
OH AND I HEAR SOMEBODY IS MAKING SOME DELICIOUS MATCHA TEA https://images.plurk.com/7pWtLFmyavXj0qmPzkFSUU.png
pixie lovemail
god it's fucking. like. really depressing. that ep4 ange was one of the best case scenarios for her
pixie lovemail
stopping for the night right there i think
Wolfgirl Winter
yeah, the thing about ange, or at least this facet or representation of her is that
Wolfgirl Winter
if you gave her a bomb and enough living people to concretely hate, she would have done what sayo did.
Wolfgirl Winter
she is in an extremely dark place.
pixie lovemail
yeah.
