lily!
okay FINALLY getting back on the ep8 horse
lily!
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
lily!
but there is just something DEEPLY FUCKING UNSETTLING about this and i hate it https://images.plurk.com/7vH6JSYU6XIKLNAJXkcNeW.png
lily!
battler my mans i get what you're trying to do here but HHHHHHHH\
lily!
"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
lily!
Interesting how there's an established relationship between Beato and the family here.
lily!
beato knows that young ange is getting a babby crush on her
lily!
(i know this isn't the canon reason but i don't like the canon reason so shush)
lily!
the continued banter about beato being bice's granddaughter is significantly weirder with kinzo in the room
YOUR LONG
i like to think of it as, a director's commentary track, or something
YOUR LONG
it's a different kind of story so it's fine if the creators and some of the "actors" step outside the fourth wall
lily!
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
lily!
It's a fairytale, "fun" version of that
lily!
lmaoooooo https://images.plurk.com/49oX0nfzUnbRo1V7K04vFu.png
lily!
god i'm once again struck how like
lily!
really compelling chiru fantasy kinzo is a character in a strictly existential sense
lily!
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
YOUR LONG
kinzo doesn't deserve his redemption, but his kids certainly do.
lily!
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
lily!
it's weird and complicated and messed up
lily!
ahhhhh finally some sweet sweet character insight that doesn't feel slightly off https://images.plurk.com/1wxDmdrSBh1W0fDQ7NNDAQ.png
lily!
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
lily!
love being right about umineko https://images.plurk.com/3G8vzNeTYVLretyPxETbs7.png
lily!
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,
lily!
fuck. https://images.plurk.com/56AA2SxbZdas2vYVA6yGQZ.png
lily!
fuck me this is so soft https://images.plurk.com/VILj50v3AVG1D5tFW9DbN.png
lily!
i can in fact feel myself start to cry about this
lily!
just fucking destroying me
lily!
fuck me https://images.plurk.com/51tPq6a3FzgjAGJitvu5oP.png
lily!
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
lily!
and it's up to her what that truth is
lily!
god. ffffffuck me
lily!
ange......
lily!
i'm not screencapping everything but i feel like my heart is being put on a slab and repeatedly pounded with a mallet
lily!
eyyyy metajoke https://images.plurk.com/ErD9mD0PDxeo6tBdMzDKX.png
YOUR LONG
yeah, it's. it's a lot.
Quinn Angstrom
god Land sounds like it was fucking wild
YOUR LONG
local author demands six year old beta her fic
lily!
this talk about the message bottles is a Lot
lily!
lmao
Quinn Angstrom
a character from it shows up in episode 9
Quinn Angstrom
in like an omake bit
lily!
oh right last note
lily!
should i read that
lily!
i've heard it's divisive
Quinn Angstrom
I liked it
Quinn Angstrom
it's short and low-key
YOUR LONG
huh, I haven't heard anything bad about it
YOUR LONG
it's just an omake, really.
Quinn Angstrom
ep8 is the divisive one really
lily!
huh, i'll read then
lily!
the witch of the liveread podcast i follow mutters a lot about how much she disliked it
lily!
anyways the thing with the message bottles comes back to whether you want to see with love or not.
lily!
whether they stories or plans depends on how much you want to read into sayo's pain.
lily!
at the end of the day the answer is probably a little bit of both
lily!
god https://images.plurk.com/39gktaE4FVObhOsSq3l9XM.png
lily!
ANGE IS LITERALLY RIGHT THERE BEATO https://images.plurk.com/7AqbTUqBy3KrciTYoJZSLr.png
lily!
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
YOUR LONG
beato trying to slide into his dms, but she accidentally made a groupchat
lily!
"A living funeral." hhhhhhhhhhhhh
lily!
looks at ep7
lily!
that's an interesting ndo
lily!
Oho. To the sea of fragments.
lily!
The reveal of the doomsday clock being semi-public knowledge is... interesting.
lily!
oh shit back to ootsuki
lily!
we're back to ange's journey huh
lily!
As Ange in-game is fervently denying any trace of love, Ange on the journey is following along with the most loveless theory.
lily!
"I can't... tell you about it."
lily!
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
lily!
way too much for a six year-old
lily!
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.
lily!
If you can't borrow the power of a real witch, the black witch creeps in instead. https://images.plurk.com/61kHITdvwSgxWTRn9wBTBa.png
lily!
fuck me this is depressing
lily!
GOD https://images.plurk.com/2bIs9OwehvPhSZ2hYG7Klp.png
lily!
sudden monochrome clock is the funniest gag in umineko even when it happens twice
lily!
YOU DON'T LIKE M. ZAKKY?
lily!
...this is an Ange that wouldn't hesitate to hurl herself down the cliff for a second if it meant finding the truth.
lily!
amakusa very very very subtly warning her about his real job https://images.plurk.com/3yIpdNWV0jiBw67e7hcTVH.png
lily!
she is, in fact, both passively and actively suicidal, https://images.plurk.com/4od3TtGQUiwTel3XX4x3qo.png
lily!
can juuza read ange's internal monologue or something https://images.plurk.com/1JWBiAGUN1nR50tyeFwX1p.png
lily!
why is it this asshole that's insightful https://images.plurk.com/43zC1tkR3sTmx2e6avA56P.png
lily!
again if you look with love this REALLY seems like amakusa trying to warn ange off from visiting rokkenjima
lily!
"A journey to have revenge by exposing the truth."
lily!
ah.
lily!
ah motherfucker
lily!
is that the sound of a great detective i hear in the distance,
lily!
OH AND I HEAR SOMEBODY IS MAKING SOME DELICIOUS MATCHA TEA https://images.plurk.com/7pWtLFmyavXj0qmPzkFSUU.png
lily!
god it's fucking. like. really depressing. that ep4 ange was one of the best case scenarios for her
lily!
stopping for the night right there i think
YOUR LONG
yeah, the thing about ange, or at least this facet or representation of her is that
YOUR LONG
if you gave her a bomb and enough living people to concretely hate, she would have done what sayo did.
YOUR LONG
she is in an extremely dark place.
lily!
yeah.
