#aka mold her into a killing machine for his own benefit

[shadowduel]

We talked about making it I'm sorry that you never made it And it pains me just to hear you have to say it You knew the game and played it It kills to know that you have been defeated I see the wires pulling while you're breathing . . .

#ransara #ranmaru kageyama #sara chidouin #yttd #your turn to die #kmgsn #kimi ga shine #shadowart #NOTES TIME!!! #so i wanted this to directly parallel the moment where midori took maple back to the operating table to “fix” her #aka mold her into a killing machine for his own benefit #i like thinking about sara and midori parallels #and i think it's no coincidence that so much of chapter 3 focuses on a theme of toxic romantic feelings #kinda like how ch2 has a strong theme of family? but anyways #something else i wanted to do was show ranmaru's expression halfed between endeared and something more sinister #such as when we see his eyes go white after killing alice/reko #overall it's just kind of a really cool metaphorical piece i had fun doing #“fixing” not as in “making better” but as in “making how i want” #oh and of course the arrangement of wires parallels his victim video LOL #kio dont look #hi kio if u looked #which i bet you did and then scrolled past but still read the tags #or maybe u will look at it with ur eyes?!?! woah.... #anyone smoke weed in this threa
