#titi's SD playthrough

You know, the first time I saw the OP, I was actually disappointed. I felt like it was all jazzy and a song to dance to, which seemed inappropriate for this kind of game. Listen and look at the creepy ass menu for chrissakes.

But rewatching it now, and taking in both the visuals and music together, you see some pretty dark imagery through the glitter and glam music. The OP is like shinkomi- hiding the rot underneath glitter. They were supposed to be the last hope for this fictional Japan, but it failed. It reminds me of driving vs walking through vegas. From the car, Vegas looks so glamorous and dazzling, but when you walk the streets they're dirty and there's plenty of poverty. But that's the thing, rich people wouldn't be walking the streets now would they, so the glitter and glam makes everything just fine on the surface when you don't look too closely.

Also now I can say it's a total bop and I love it, I think it just took me off guard when I first saw it. But I love it now.

I have to say my favorite part is this

('Scuze the shit screenshotting/editing)

Towa falling and the splatter painting the canvas just uuuugh I wish I could describe it. He really does just absolutely live for it, it's the only time he lets himself feel. He himself admits he won't do things that would kill him with his models because death means everything's over, and he wants to make his death meaningful. I just don't have the words, it just really strokes my goat.

Slow Damage Live Playthrough

So there I was thinking about how much I missed slow damage and how deeply it affected me and sulking about how the fandom isn’t bigger,

and then I was like well if you want it, do it.

So I’ll be sharing my thoughts and reactions to Slow Damage here wile I replay it, after I just finished it like 3 weeks ago.

Block Tiiti’s SD playthrough or Slow Damage Spoilers if you don’t want to see me clogging up your feed. LMK if I need to change anything to get out of you hair.

Warning: I will be unhinged.

SD really is an absolutely fantastic Visual Novel, and just story overall. It’s such a moving story about living on after trauma. It shows an extremely flawed protagonist with a pretty fucked up morality and terrible coping mechanisms who gets through his days my sinking into apathy about everything around him. I’ve read that abuse survivors have really related o him and it makes me happy that hopefully they can feel seen.

I love and relate to Towa so much because of my depression. It’s so much easier to close yourself off to the wold and sink into the protective void of feeling nothing, and lying to yourself that you aren’t affected. That you really don’t care. I was reading a meta about how shen yuan from the scum villian’s self saving system is such an unreliable narrator and realized how much i feel for towas narrative too that he projects to the world, and how different Slow Damage is if you go in with this mindset.

I’m so excited to play this again and share my thoughts. If just one person who finishes the game and goes to the tumblr tag after, wanting to share their love (just like me) can enjoy one post i;; be happy. But I also just have so many feeling about it i want to share.

When your fantasy escapeism bl game gets a little too real. :/

The freakiest thing about SD is that you totally see places like this TODAY in REAL LIFE. I can totally imagine my own hometown becoming this, it happens all the time.
