#or the more emotional reading/character driven take of (orpheus was the life he could of had but never would have gotten the chance to live

[mymp3]

istg people dont know what narrative and foil even mean at this point

#compendiumnotebook #ppl just be saying things #something that's subtextual and something that's textual are two different things #also people not giving weight to overarching narrative themes because its not always textual gets me so annoyed #like sometimes the text lies and sometimes the text is written because it has an expectation of you understanding it after the fact #like #i saw someone say im regards to minatos awakening that 'thanatos breaking out of orpheus was never explained again' #like i feel like some things are so obvious that when people say this kind of stuff it boggles my mind #'it was never explained again' (proceeds to complete fes) #like. hes a representation of the very thing stealing the life he could of had. #thanatos represents so many things to minato #you could say what actually happened (him awakening after 10 years. being brought back to his home) #or the more emotional reading/character driven take of (orpheus was the life he could of had but never would have gotten the chance to live #a life stolen away from him though he takes it in turn and in kind because thats the kind of person he is #someone inflicted with such troubles and nobody knows but he continues on with life regardless #whatttttever bro #whatever #i think this is why people also dont talk about ryoji as much and it makes me lose my mind because ryoji is literally the perfect summary #for the game and its themes and messaging #and because people dont understand what these things were intended to be they downplay his involvement of being the most integral bit #ahhhhh im going crazy #idk what spurred this on i think im just #hm #anyways im 2 for 2 with awesome persona thoughts today so thats nice #at least i get smth out of my craziness
