I know I know we have already clowned on this person so much, but like step away from disco elysium brain for a second. The idea that stories have to be uplifting and palatable to all is bad. It closes your eyes to so much art that is vital to understanding people throughout cultural boundaries. Disco Elysium is a complicated, distinctly non American story that makes you step outside of your base assumptions and question the unquestionable. The story does this deliberately. Wanting that story to erode into something simple and idyllic- that is a cruel neutering. I feel like American progressive culture focuses too much on demographic diversity, and not enough on diversity of experiences and history. The need to make a checklist- you play as a disabled, non man! Queer themes! Etc. That takes away your ears towards a wide variety of stories that ARE queer disabled non white etc. Because you are looking for a hamfisted, virtue signaling obviousness, you are missing the intricate stories told by people who don't have your background. Your phd in politically correct American english. By valuing the ability to speak this progressive language, and policing the words used to describe someone's own experiences - you're not listening. You're missing out on art.
So yeah. If you close your ears to disco elysium because it's a grimy detective story with a white man (it's...not set in America but let's just let the concept of whiteness stay for simplicity). Then you're not actually accepting of diversity. You're accepting of the checklist.

ok I was looking for this post bc I thought I had to recant some stuff but it turns out past me is still correct, amendment 1 ("I concede") is basically the point I'm making rn
amendment 2: it would be really fucking funny if all this was true up until like 2 minutes before xie lian ascended a third time. you know damn well that as soon as that bell was cut in half, they probably entirely forgot about heavenly discord DMs these gidiots ran straight to each other's palaces and missed each other hijinks-style until suddenly the static in mq's ear is ringing and before fx can even get a word in edgewise mq's like "shut up" "i haven't said shit!" "sparring tree. Now" "already here" or something. it's like tacit understanding (hostile)

Yveltal is not one to be bothered by those who 'cheat death'. Miraculous instances have occurred where people have managed to add time before the clock reached zero, however...
He is a scarily patient man - he is no fool either. Death always collects in the end, somehow, some way. He will wait, and wait, and wait, for as long as he needs to do so. Death always wins.

NOOOO RIGHT 'CAUSE LIKE... the way the Arakawa Family specialize in faking deaths already, I'm sure Jo was so on top of everything. And who better to walk Masato through it right... flight's the perfect time to get started if it's gonna take like fourteen hours...
BUT YES. YEAH. Like The Day Of he's just paralyzed with worry and caught between wanting to do something and not wanting to go against Aoki... maybe at most he chances calling Arakawa telling him to be careful, because that's not too conspicuous given his role in the dissolution, but Arakawa just gives him the old I'll Be Fine Worry About Yourself... and, you know, why shouldn't he; they've always had their enemies and he's Arakawa the Assassin, he can handle himself... he can let himself have that fleeting hope, but deep down... and THEN he finds out and has to act like he didn't mean anything to him and has to go back to his duties like nothing happened... OUGH
Can I just say. Literally such an insane fucking series of scenes in Coin Locker Baby. Because you get Jo's despondence when he's saying he might have killed Arakawa--he's being a bitch to provoke Ichiban into a fight, but it's also an admission his inaction played a part, isn't it... and then you get him expressing that he's familiar with Ichiban's need to protect Arakawa... and then you get the sheer desperation and insistence in his voice when he says he could never kill him... and then you get--I'm not totally sure how clear it is in English--but you get him actively saying his feelings go deeper than Ichiban's without really explaining how... and then you get the tinge of fondness when he's thinking back on the old days when Arakawa lived up to his name... Like. Why Did They Do That. Any Of That.
ALSO. GOD. I've gotten so much shit the past couple days because I said I want to lock Jo, Kume, and Tendo in a room for five minutes For My Entertainment. Reading those tags felt like coming home honestly 😭 Like, even Ichi was ready to kill someone over Arakawa, and Jo was out here threatening to disembowel people [in the dub]. And I Think They Should Be Allowed To. As A Treat. So FOR REAL the biggest "I'm so glad we get to talk" 😭😭😭
On that note genuinely so funny that I took an extra ten minutes re-rendering the video because I forgot to put the "flashback" part in Arakawa's subtitles at first but then nobody read it 😭
But it's also something I've been mulling over because I'm delusional. Getting actors as high-profile as Nakai and Takei back for just A Flashback is kinda crazy to me because Arakawa and Jo's screen-time took up a full four percent of the entire game [over ten percent of the cutscenes] originally. But then if it's multiple flashbacks equivalent to that... what exactly is going on here that the past is so intertwined...
And Because My Brain Is Evil there is the fact that technically speaking, Yokoyama only said that line was from a flashback, and specified Arakawa wouldn't be appearing in the main story. Now of course a normal person would interpret that as him reassuring the audience he won't appear in any present-day scenes, but part of me was like. Oh So A Side Story Is On The Table [<- it's not it's fucking not it will not be in a million years]
JUST. WHAT ARE YOU GUYS COOKING WHY IS THE KITCHEN DOOR CLOSED WHY ARE THE WINDOWS BLACKED OUT
ANYWAYS that's enough from me for today I am [as always] glad you enjoyed One Missed Call and Kyouen, ABSOLUTE bangers
YAYA THATS WHAT IM SAYIN YOU GET IT. UNSURPRISINGLY BUT YOU GET IT ಥ▽ಥ
no but thats what i MEAN like i already was jokin with myself like 'jo and arakawa probably had A Thing right lmao' BUT THEN THE WAY JO TALKED BOUT ARAKAWA AND OBVI THE GENERAL FACT HE COULDNT KILL HIM REALLY JUST MADE ME (。・∀・??) AND REAALLLY LOOK AT EM CLOSER THE SECOND TIME AROUND like genuinely for what. it will fuck me up until i'm dead and gone SOOO unnecessary and yet they did it..
wack that people wouldnt want to see kume and tendo stuck in a room with jo like. from what i know everyone is a part of the We Hate Kume gang so. cmon. kume will be shredded into candy floss within five minutes. it'll be fun (๑❛ᴗ❛๑)
OK BUT NAKAI AND TSUTSUMI'S STATUS WAS A BIG REASON WHY I DIDNT THINK ARAKAWA NOR JO WOULD BE BACK FOR LAD8 THAT'S SO VALID TO CONSIDER THAT its that idea that just has me especially wondering what the plan is. im not expecting them to have MAJOR parts (or in arakawa's case too many flashback segments) but they MUST have a SUBSTANTIAL amount to warrant bringing them back right..

ARAH HI <333
i have actually not tried crab before! i would potentially try it one day i think. however i have caught fiddler crabs and have been pinched by some other random crab. ive also seen my fair share of horseshoe crabs, they’re fascinating creatures
