George and to a lesser extent Hideyoshi are a really good representation of the difference between being nice and being kind.

From his introduction, George is presented as being kind and mature. He is the voice of reason in the discussions between the cousins, he attempts to be kind to Maria by explaining things to her and indulging her, and he has a very reasonable, grown up attitude.

However, when you actually look at his actions, you notice that his so-called voice of reason amounts to little more than platitudes. In times of crisis, he is often going to prioritize conformity with the group or his own interests rather than stand up for what is actually right.

For example, in the (very long) introduction, when seeing Battler being scared of being in vehicles that are shaking, he fully conforms with the group by mocking his cousin rather than express sympathy. In a more serious way, when Rosa abuses Maria right in front of the cousins, he basically says that it is none of their business and that Rosa can discipline Maria how she wants. When Maria does not come back, he does not even check whether she actually was at the mansion and just assumes he was.

Even in his relationship with Shannon, as many people have pointed out, their interactions consist of him saying things and her nodding along, and he blissfully ignores his girlfriend's horrible self-esteem issues when she calls herself "furniture".

And when you look at Hideyoshi, you kind of see where he picked up this behaviour. Hideyoshi also presents himself as one of the nicest adults, yet he never confronts his wife about her horrible behaviour towards Natsuhi and Rosa, nor about her high expectations for George. His objections amount to little more than "Honey, please don't be mean". Like George, when faced between the choices between being good or serving his own interests, he will pick himself.

To be fair, I am not calling either character a manipulative bastard or anything. I am sure neither character want to actually hurt anyone. But this sort of hypocrisy makes them very human in a way you rarely find in fiction.

I’m re-watching a gameplay of episode 6, and is it just me or is George heavily coded as having a learning disability? Like, I can’t really see many other reasons as to why he would have to need so many extra lessons and kinds of teaching environments. Not only that but when Witch!Eva is talking to George it kind of really reminds me of my own experiences with parents and relatives giving underhanded digs at my autonomy because I need more support to understand and grasp concepts that are quite easy to neurotypical people. The whole “you can’t handle your own life, let me handle everything and just go along with it” is a very common sentiment amongst parents of neurodivergent kids who are just functional enough to pass as neutorypical to other people not in the known

Trick of the Golden Witch Chapter 3

Read Chapter 1 here Read Chapter 2 here

When the blinding light disappeared, Ange was welcomed by a light blue sky and a bright sun. She then looked down to discover that the boat was now floating on water. Ange tried to look around but all she could see was water with no land around.

"Where are we? Where's the Golden Land?" Ange asked.

"This ocean as no limit, no matter of much you row, you'll never find land… except the Golden Land. Here, take a look," Erika said as she handed a field-glass to Ange.

Ange took it and looked where her witch guardian was pointing. She saw something far away, it looked like… an island. It was with shock that Ange recognized it.

"But that's… Rokkenjima!?" she exclaimed.

"The Rokkenjima of 1986, October 4 and 5 to be more precise," Erika said. "This is the Golden Land where time is frozen and those illusions and ghosts are kept alive thanks to the catbox. Those who live there are nothing more than pieces that had lost their purpose, they are no longer useful."

"This is why I'll expose the truth. I won't let my family be pieces in that witch game anymore, I'll free them and let them rest in peace," Ange said with determination.

Ange put the field-glass away, feeling a little bit conflicted. She was determined to expose the truth, but she didn't know how she would feel if she saw her family again, even if they were nothing more than illusions. She was worried that her determination may waver.

"Ah, I need to teach you how to use the Blue Truth," Erika suddenly said.

"The blue… what?"

"This," Erika started. "Your name is Ushiromiya Ange and you're 18 years old."

"Whoa… what's that? Why are you talking in blue? How is that even possible?"

"This is the truth that both humans and witches can use. Well, it's not always true, Blue Assumption would have been a better name. You can use the blue to say your theory and what you believe to be true, as a way to fight back against witches," Erika explained.

"Ah, I see, let me try… Your name is Furudo Erika and you are a detective, you are uh… how old are you?"

"Hehe, I'm a witch, my age is irrelevant. Now, I'll show you how to use the Blue Truth to fight," Erika said as she opened her hand, blue light appearing in her palm, "your family died in 1986 on October 4 and 5, you're the last Ushiromiya still alive!"

This statement hurt to hear. The blue light turned into some kind of blade made of blue energy that Erika was holding in her hand.

"This is a Blue Wedge. You can use it to attack your enemies and strike them with your truth," Erika said before she made the wedge disappeared.

"I understand… my family was killed by Eva oba-san!" Ange declared as she made a blue wedge appear in her hand. "This will be my weapon to fight the witch."

"I see that you already have your theory planned, very good. You need to be careful of the Red Truth, the truth used by witches. This one is the absolute truth, but can be used in a deceitful way."

"I see… the witch is playing dirty, using such a strong weapon. But as long as I have the blue, I won't fail. I'll expose her no matter what and shatter her illusions!" Ange declared.

"That's the spirit! Now let's speed up and murder some ghosts, shall we?" Erika said with an awful grin.

The boat continued its way until it reached the island, Ange feeling her heart beating more and more fast. The boat accosted on the dock and both witches of truth got out from the ship and went on the beach. Ange couldn't help but feel nostalgic. She remembered when she used to play here as a little girl with her cousins, making sandcastles and various shapes. But it was over now, and she had to accept it. She wasn't here for remembering the good old time, she was here to learn the truth.

As they headed for the Ushiromiya manor, two people suddenly approached them, looking surprised by their arrival.

"Ange-chan!?" George exclaimed. "Why are you back?"

"With Erika… she's not welcomed here!" Jessica said with disdain.

Ange froze for a moment. George and Jessica, her cousins. They looked exactly the same as the last time she saw them, they didn't age at all. After all, ghosts don't age, they were nothing more than illusions. Realizing that, Ange clenched her fist in anger, mad that the witch was using them to deceive her.

"Have no mercy, my comrade Ange-san. Reminds to those illusions the truth," Erika told her.

"What are you talking about… Ange-chan? Those clothes… Are you really Ange-chan?" George asked, starting to be worried.

With no more hesitation, Ange raised her hand and blue light appeared in it.

"Ushiromiya George and Ushiromiya Jessica died during the Rokkenjima Massacre!" Ange declared.

A blue wedge appeared in her hand and she swung it, cutting in half both George and Jessica. Their corpses fell on the ground, in two pieces, their guts and organs spreading on the group and blood spilling in the sand. Ange felt horrified by what she had just done and started to shiver, while Erika put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"You didn't kill them, you just reminded them that they were already dead," Erika said softly.

Ange took a deep breath to calm herself. She didn't kill anyone, they were already dead. As if it confirmed it, George and Jessica's corpses fade away.

"Now let's not lose any more time and let's meet the Territory Lord," Erika said.

Ange nodded and they both continued their way to the manor, Ange determined to get the truth out of the witch who was toying with her family for far too long.

***

In the rose garden, Battler and Beatrice were enjoying a game of chess while drinking tea, with Virgilia and Ronove as spectators. The two spouses seemed to be equal, neither of them had an advantage over the other. With a cocky smile, Battler wiped a drop of sweat from his forehead and moved his queen to take out one of Beatrice's pieces.

"Take that Beato!"

"Oh, you shouldn't have done that, Baaaattler~"

Battler's expression turned into despair when Beatrice took out his queen with her rook.

"You're 1000 years too young to defeat me, Battler! HAHAHAHAHA!" Beatrice exclaimed as she cackled madly.

"The game isn't over, I can still win!" Battler declared, not losing up hope.

"You really are living up to your name, don't you. Very well, but I'll still crush you!"

"Don't talk too fast-"

Battler stopped when he noticed Beatrice's expression of shock.

"Beato, what's wrong?"

"Two of my pieces… had been killed," Beatrice said.

"What?!"

Now that she mentioned it, Battler could feel it too. As Territory Lord and Endless Sorcerer, he was as much linked to the pieces as Beatrice.

"It's… Jessica and George," Beatrice said.

"Someone intruded the Golden Land! Let's go!" Battler exclaimed as he rosed up.

Beatrice nodded and rose up too, both of them ready to face anyone who dared to intrude on their Golden Land and hurt their friends.

***

Ange stepped inside the rose garden. She remembered the last time she saw it when she was only 5 years old. She had always been amazed by the variety of roses of all colours, it felt like it was coming straight from a fairy tale. But this garden was different. Goodbye to all the colours, all the roses were now golden. An unnatural colour, a reminder that this place was nothing more than an illusion. It was a travesty, an insult to what her family built, a mockery from the witch.

"Comrade Ange-san, are you okay?" Erika asked.

"Yeah, I'm just… disgusted. Let's just find the Territory Lord and put an end to this tasteless joke."

Erika simply smiled at that statement and they continued their way in the rose garden, until their path got blocked by two individuals.

"Ange-sama, what is the meaning of this? Why come here with Erika," Shannon asked, defensive.

"Did you… did you really kill Jessica!?" Kanon shouted, barely keeping his composure.

Ange recognized them, they were part of the servants. It was the first time Ange saw them together, for an unknown reason she had until now always saw them separately.

"Well look at that, Kinzo's own personal furniture to welcome us, what an honour," Erika mocked sarcastically.

"We are not furniture anymore! We're humans!" Shannon replied.

"See? A place of illusions where even furniture think they are humans," Erika said with a smile full of disdain. "You're both nothing more than Beatrice's imaginary friends. Out of our way now, we have to speak with your master!"

Shannon and Kanon took an offensive posture, showing their intent to fight. Erika grinned madly as she conjured a scythe, ready to fight too.

"Stop! There's no need to fight, we'll take care of this."

Ange froze when she heard that voice. It had been 12 years since she hadn't heard it, but she still recognized it.

"Onii...chan…" Ange mumbled.

Battler was standing in front of them, looking stern and serious, with a blonde woman wearing a fancy dress next to him who looked equally severe who she recognized at the woman from the portrait, Beatrice. This Battler looked just like her late brother, even wearing the same clothes as the last time she saw him. Well, not exactly. He was now wearing a black cape. Could he be… a witch too? This thought filled Ange with anger.

"Onii-chan… you became like her… like the witch who stole you away from me, don't you!?"

"Ange, what are you talking about? Why are you back? Especially with this outfit?" Battler asked, confused.

Ange remained equally confused. What he was talking about? It was the first time she ever came here.

"I understand… she's an Ange from another fragment. If I had to take a guess, she's from the one where she would have chosen trick as the answer to my final riddle," Beatrice said. "She's basically Trick Ange."

"I have no idea what you're talking about, I'm Ushiromiya Ange and no one else! I'm here to learn the truth about the Rokkenjima Massacre and destroy the illusion of the witch!"

Battler and Beatrice looked uneased by this statement as they glanced at each other.

"Looks like we're going to go through that again," Beatrice complained.

"Erika… this is your doing, right? Is Bernkastel behind this again?" Battler asked with hostility.

"My master has nothing to do with this, I'm Ange-san's witch guardian. And everything is according to Ange-san's desire, I'm simply helping her," Erika replied with a disgustingly sweet smile.

"You… fine. What do you want?" Battler said.

"We just want to play a game with you. I'll even let you be the game master, but I'll choose the gameboard," Erika said as she threw him a kakera.

Battler caught the fragment and looked at it with Beatrice. Their expressions widen in shock when they saw what happened in this kakera.

"This world, this is…" Battler began to say.

"Almost," Beatrice added.

"I would have gladly shown Ange-san, but, being part of this catbox, only the Territory Lord can show her. Feel free to add all the illusions and 'magic' you want, we'll just crush it regardless and expose the truth," Erika taunted.

Both Battler and Beatrice looked uncertain and hesitating. Ange wasn't sure she understood what this game would be about, but she guessed that the Red and Blue Truths would be relevant. She would probably have to face their Red Truth with her Blue Truth in some kind of twisted game. And she was ready to face anything in order to expose the truth.

"Fine, we accept your challenge. We'll use this kakera as our gameboard. Just let us time to prepare the next game," Battler finally agreed.

***

"I swear honey, I didn't cheat on you!" I love-"

The man wasn't allowed to finish his sentence, he was violently slapped in the face by his wife (and future ex-wife), who was red with anger.

"She showed me everything!" the woman shouted. "The detective showed me the pictures, you slept with all those sluts! You bastard, I hate you, you're nothing more than a pig!"

The man suddenly turned towards Erika, who was simply standing there, smiling, and he glared at her furiously.

"You… this is all your fault, you bitch!" the man shouted.

But before he could do anything, his wife slapped him again, heavily crying, while the man fell to his knees, sobbing pathetically.

"I'm so sorry honey, I'm so sorry," he mumbled between his sobs.

Ange was witnessing this scene. With Erika, they managed to get pictures of the husband's infidelity and went to his house to show his wife. Erika was watching the scene with a smile full of satisfaction, there was even lust in her eyes. She was clearly enjoying what she was seeing. Ange did feel some satisfaction to see the husband so destroyed, she considered that he deserved it for being a cheater, but she knew her feelings and Erika's were different. Erika was an intellectual rapist, she wasn't exposing the truth for the sake of justice or to help, but simply to prove she was smarter and hurt others. She would do the same to even an innocent person.

But despite that, Ange couldn't hate her. She felt like Erika herself had been hurt and that it was why she was so cruel to others, as a way to cope with her own misery.

"Ange-san, let's go, there's nothing else to do," Erika said as she walked away, the husband and wife still crying and arguing.

They exited the house and headed for Erika's car. Ange had something she wanted to say, but wasn't sure if she should say it. She took a deep breath and decide to take the risk.

"Erika… is it me or this case… seemed personal to you?"

Erika froze for a moment, stoic, before she smiled softly.

"We could say that. I can personally relate to that woman's pain," Erika replied.

"So… you were just enjoying the man's suffering, right?"

Erika remained quiet for a moment until her smile turned into a grin.

"Both of them are guilty, they both had it coming. The husband for being dishonest, the wife for being naive enough to think he loved her. I have no sympathy for either of those morons, all I cared about was exposing the truth and get money out of it."

Erika then suddenly stopped smiling and turned serious as they reached the car.

"I'll never… be like that woman ever again," Erika mumbled.

Ange could hear the bitterness in Erika's voice, but didn't insist. They both get in the car and Erika was back to smiling, this time in a mischievous way.

"Now that this is done, we can finally start the real fun," Erika declared.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Erika let out a giggled before continuing.

"Isn't it obvious? Exactly what you were waiting for for 12 years! We're going to investigate the Rokkenjima Massacre!"

rereading umineko chapter 1 (after chapter 3)

idk how to better describe this but george sounds exactly like every university student around me, trying to project a reputation of “adulthood” and unapologetically participating in abusive institutions. saying the most abhorrent shit to excuse/justify/uphold abuse that he’s beginning to gladly engage in and benefit from. we need to get him away from younger kids. no actually i want him dead

#Umineko #Umineko liveblog #ushiromiya george #george ushiromiya

[letmereadinpeace4]

I have finally finished the first part of the second episode and have reached the actual family conference. I have a lot of thoughts about George/Shannon and Jessica/Kanon.

I cannot really bring myself to ship either couple. They do have cute moments together, but I feel like their romantic feelings are mostly due to the fact that the other is fulfilling a need or resolving an insecurity rather than an actual connection.

George loves Shannon, but his feelings seem to be mostly helped by the fact that her fawning over him and her being formerly interested in Battler helps his insecurities and his feelings of inferiority. In a perhaps even worse way, Jessica's feelings for Kanon seem to be mostly due to him being one of the few men her age she has around (even the narration acknowledges it). As for Shannon and Kanon, and by extensions Sayo, her feelings are a complicated mess between being envious of them, admiring them, being grateful for the attention and interest and looking for a way to escape their place as "furniture". Overall, neither character seems to have genuine appreciation for their love interest as an actual person.

Another thing that bothers me is that George and Jessica come from a place of immense privilege and are, in many although different ways, incredibly self-absorbed (yes Jessica, please tell the orphan who was raised as a charity case, cannot go to high school and works his ass off as sixteen that YOU were born under an unlucky star).

While the story shows us how they are negatively impacted by this position in terms of familial pressure, they are still in a place where, in one hand, they have some measure of freedom to determine the person they want to be or present themselves as, and on the other hand, they have never suffered any amount of actual grave consequences and trauma. Because of this, their speeches of love and their protests against Shannon and Kanon calling themselves furniture ring very hollow. They do not understand Sayo's trauma and are in no way equipped to handle it and while this is certainly not their faults, their reactions really show how much they do not have the proper tools and insight to get to the actual core of the problem.

Furthermore, the cynical part of myself wonders how much their feelings will last when faced with the backlash from their choice of partners. Sure, George talks about how he does not care about what anyone will say, but will he say the same thing when his parents refuse to support him financially and he has to work a difficult or boring job to support his family? When his wife is used to humiliate him ? When he constantly faces comments and jokes about his partners? When he has to handle Sayo's trauma and the way it impacts her and her self-esteem? Hell, when he has to handle that he will never have any biological children? It is easy to say "I don't care what anyone says, I am marrying you" but the biggest obstacle is not the actual opposition, it is the length of time and the constant little annoying things that happen every day.

However what I find most interesting in this romantic nonsense is that some of these criticisms can be applied to Battler and Beatrice. By understanding the weaknesses in George/Shannon and Jessica/Kanon, we are prepared to see where Battler messes up with Beatrice and where she messes up with him. Battler can also be pretty self-involved, engaging more in the how done it that the why done it (which will eventually cause Beatrice's death). Beatrice also seems to be using Battler as a mean to an end. However, where George/Shannon and Jessica/Kanon never had the chance to overcome these flaws, Beatrice and Battler eventually were forced to face these flaws and grow up.
