and like sidenote if i can make a post with a target audience of zero. i feel like fhsy was to d20 what aa3 was to ace attorney but aa3 pulled it off better for reasons i cannot explain
#it is. the amatonormativity
#^ guy who was REALLY pissed about the sandra lynn stuff
#like yknow that bit in the first ep where brennan is like 'oh this drama is going down' and so like the pcs investigate it
#probs bcos they think itll like kick off their new quest
#and then it turns out to be like. petty romantic drama.
#thats kind of a microcosm of the entire season for me
#not to say there werent parts i liked (looks at the picture of baron i printed out and hung on my wall)
#(and most of the leviathan stuff was brilliant and ayda is a role model for me)
#but its all so tied up in the rest of that shit that i dont rlly wanna rewatch it the way ive rewatched fy 6+ times
#likening this to aa3 bcos of the rlly noticeable uptick in romantic content in it compared to the rest of the trilogy
#like prior to that all that rlly comes to mind is like. 2-3 and pearl's shipping shenanigans and larry existing
#but in aa3 both mia and phoenix have past lovers who play big parts
#theres a married couple theres tigre and viola (who sidenote i ENTIRELY missed as romantic my first playthru. i am dense)
#there's the business with fawles
#like it felt like romance played a large part in every case in aa3
#where even when it came up in 1 + 2 it was usually ancillary (2-3 excepted but like. ppl regard that case as a fluke in most regards)
#you COULD argue that maggey and adrian also inject some romantic presence in the story
#but idk it just doesnt feel as central or prevalent as in aa3
#like i saw a post abt adrian and celeste being cousins in the aa anime being not just the sailor moon 'best cousins' thing
#but like. reinforcing the themes of familiar devotion as aa2's core. and that was rlly foundational to my understanding of the game
#even tho its a change that comes from an adaptation
#whereas you Couldnt make that change in aa3 without it changing A Lot of shit
#where was i going with this. shrug.
#the zelda and tracker relationship drama was entirely manufactured as punishing the pcs for not centering npcs
#whose relationship issues were ancillary to the overarching plot they were focused on and which hadnt rlly been brought up beforehand
#'why didnt gorgug call zelda :/' do u want zac to pause the kalina mystery to roleplay good relationship communication with the dm??
#like its one thing looking at sy as a narrative but looking at it as a ttrpg campaign with limited time and a need to split character focus
#i dont see what it did for the story besides give gorgug something to angst abt. didnt rlly feel like there was character growth or an arc
#sigh. MANDATORY DISCLAIMER its been at least a year since i watched sy and longer before that since ive played aa3
#but at the time my feelings were strong and have only calcified. romance as a theme in something not generally abt romance
