self indulgent tag/writing habit: extremely overt visual symbolism

something I like to do with Kuja is have him casually kill things sometimes without thinking about it, stuff like plucking at grass or zapping a bug until it curls up

that's the GOOD SHIT

I do lots of blue and red with him too, I just got to do this with a Yuri tag when he's talking about gaia...

blue light of the moon touching on him

tossing vivi's theatre ticket into the coffin full of blood without understanding the significance was LIT also

watching the cheap paper get sullied by blood... an indescribable (bad) feeling

giving up his little scrap of Gaia.

basically I'm saying is that I really let loose with this with Kuja

the character brings it out. dramatic mfer

his really most emotional moments ARENT Brackets Thoughts(tm), it's during stuff like that... I want to lean into that more but I don't wanna get contrived

cracking up at the description of "indescribable (bad)" because kuja really just would be like OOPS! A FEELING I DON'T LIKE FEELING? IT GOES IN THE BOX

if you saw that no you didn't

PRECISELY LMFAO YOU GET IT

"what is this feeling" "you're feeling bad about it" "impossible"

scratching at the door I would love to see what you think of how I play him . I hunger for concrit that's not, literally aimed at my personal character . sweats.

he's so much.

kuja is A Lot but i think you get a good balance between "oh my god why are you such a dick (stop pitching fits and being an asshole to reassert control over your situation holy shit)" and "oh my god why are you such a dick (it's understandable that you'd act like this given Everything that made you who you are up to this point holy shit)"

just the like "hm i'm feeling bad? no actually i don't want to" stuff especially is very like a "i get why youre Like This but you need to eat your emotional vegetables sir"

it's great! very juicy conflict

he's such a fucking control freak lmfao he learned to people from the outside in and decided that meant he could pick and choose what parts of it applied to him

i am going to be a person but ONLY the parts that i like

i adore your Kuja he’s so much fun to play with

I adore your mayoi.... you intro'd me to the character......favorite enstar...

that makes me so happy to hear!!!

Man on that note i am jazzed to play off someone with as much if not more ff9 brain rot than me because did you know that Treno was one of my favorite locations in the game because it had such fascinating lore and political elements?

Fun fact 12 years ago i almost built a treno set LJRP/DWRP game because i was like no this city is really cool??? I can’t remember anything about it but i remember taking extensive treno screenshots to piece together the vibes

holy shit

IF IT HAD HAPPENED TRENO GAME WOULD TRULY NOW BE MY LOST LENORE

I THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT i think the plot was it was set a few decades post game and there was some catastrophic evil happening and characters were trapped in treno for the start and eventually the game would open up to the rest of Alexandria something like that.

fond sigh

so many cute animal npcs
