It's honestly so scary how much peters story is kind of paralleling his otto's story in the first game with the descent into rage, violence and possibly evil due to an obsession over a goal coupled with a really unfortunate personality altering external force that they still want to keep because of the power and assurance it gives them.. and then also their mentees will have to fight them because there's no way miles isn't going to have to battle peter with his electric powers at some point and it's gonna be such an INSANE parallel I will start crying and afterwards what's gonna happen how's peter gonna deal with that huh. If he realises the parallel and what he just did do you get it do y-

ok after listening to the english version of the death note musical....... unpopular opinion i think but i actually prefer the japanese version? dont get me wrong, with some of the songs i do think i might like the eng version more but..... idk i like the lyrics of the japanese version a lot more? and obviously i only know them via a translation but i know for a fact that the entire focus of certain songs are different between versions.
like in the english version of the game begins, L is talking about his strategy to track down kira. but in the japanese version, he's more so talking TO kira directly and saying that he's going to take him down from his "god" status to hell. or mortals and fools, which had a wholeee different vibe in the japanese version being called like a cruel dream. and uhhhh am i insane or was rem's song before she dies an entirely different song? cause in english it was like a sort of generic love song that was pretty chill considering the context, while in the japanese version it was this superrr melancholic and striking ballad she sang while floating around misa.
idk but i really do think i prefer the japanese version. but the og english version is good too!!! i really liked hurricane and the way it ends in particular

Been thinking about Makoto again (whats new) and one aspect of her characterization that kinda gets forgotten or at least not spoken about much is the fact she's very determined? To the point of it being almost self destructive? Like yes she was sweet and kind hearted, and undeniably she was very vulnerable- a large part of her story is her having to depend on Majima but that wasn't the whole of it? When she sets her mind to something she goes for it.
She moved to Sotenbori to search for her brother, Japan was still relatively new to her, she'd lost her grandfather and her mother- but even alone against what had been a very cruel world she still tried.
Then there was what came after that- she survived against all odds, even losing her vision. she trained with Lee and became a very good little masseuse, still trudging forward- still with her goal in mind. Once she lost Tachibana she asked Majima outright if he would kill the patriarchs for her- a pretty wild thing to ask the man who was meant to be /your/ assassin not too long ago. She was told no and she said "Okay, I'll do it myself."
She marched her little ass up to Sohei Dojima and in front of those very patriarchs and all the Dojima family she asked for their heads- Did it work out for her? Was it smart? No. But she had a spine of steel and fuck if I don't love her for it.
And even at the very end we see her protecting the girl she was with, smacking both those yakuza who had accosted them, even telling her friend to run away- she'd take the brunt of whatever they were planning and she did it with a stiff upper lip. So yes Makoto was vulnerable. And yes she needed protection and help-
But she wasn't a wallflower.
