A LOT of the early bits of Soulhome are focused on shitting on the ideas of trusting others and focusing on anything other than yourself

It’s so omnipresent with how little everyone seems to think of the Tatian hospitality that I’m assuming it’s going somewhere with it

it's rough reading tbh because he's so miserable but it is important for later character growth, it's not actual encouragement of that stuff

Yeah that’s the impression I got

Nor has he been for the last
40 years

Thor’s main contribution so far has been as a diplomat more than as a fighter

He seems to know more about the nine realms than most

The shape of the plot forming in my head is this:

Incubus:Maya::Magnafor:Theo

Magnafor is gonna fuck everything up in a way that teaches Theo a lesson about what happens to people who seek only power at the cost of all else

Whups his Soulhome exploded

I know I've said this in Quinn's plurk, but the soulhome exploding was really the scene that hooked me

just allowing him to
fuck up
so badly, especially when he was building up his usefulness solely based on having his perfect plan
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer

Yeah

It’s a boring story where everything goes as planned
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Thu, Aug 10, 2023 11:14 PM
Also it being an isekai story does actually seem pretty relevant to what it’s trying to do
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer

Theo is a
character
rather than a self insert
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Thu, Aug 10, 2023 11:18 PM
Okay

@Overbringer

Here’s how Theo can still win
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Thu, Aug 10, 2023 11:19 PM
- he simply does not feel like a character for who light element skills are appropriate anyway
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer

The solar plan was doomed to failure thematically
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Thu, Aug 10, 2023 11:20 PM
- his power room is solid black now and he can’t break it
Gabiluzbad

- Nanjuma made a passing reference to duskfruits earlier as being “out of fashion”

He’s gonna have to entirely reverse polarity
Princess Emily
@deerleisure
Thu, Aug 10, 2023 11:25 PM
yeah, he's an actual character, and being from Earth matters in both his character arc and in the overall plot. that's my minimum for accepting an isekai.
still, makes it a bit harder to rec when isekai is so oversaturated.

Okay duskfruit wasn’t it but I was on the right track
