Thinking about how Diavolo’s feelings transcend time and how in the Nightbringer UR+ card Demon Lord’s Castle Tour this conversation happens.
When asked, “Do you wish to see your father?”
Diavolo responds:
“I suppose I do . . .” isn’t the typical reaction to how a child would feel about wanting to see their parent. Especially when said parent has essentially been in a coma for a year.
Along with how Diavolo describe his father.
It makes more sense why when you learn in Lesson 56 how Diavolo was treated by him growing up.
Diavolo can tell when others are lying but is unable to understand his father’s intentions.
Diavolo mentions that he lived a very sheltered life growing up. That from a young age his father never allowed him a chance to talk to anyone outside the castle.
His childhood friend was Mephistopheles. A demon literally RAISED to be his friend. Putting a barrier between the two because Mephistopheles would put Diavolo on a pedestal.
The isolating childhood he experienced riddled with his strict father constantly scolding him.
Despite everything MC is so important to him he wants to see his father again so we can meet.

It’s the way that Buck’s view on Tommy was so so so similar to Buck’s initial view of Eddie. Man doesn’t know how to deal with his attraction so he runs in the opposite direction and “hates” them (but can’t stop talking about them) until things finally blow up (injured Eddie —> kiss Tommy) or don’t (you can have my back any day)

seriously starting to get annoyed by people equating sad and tragic endings with meaningfulness. happy and/or hopeful endings don’t mean less. they’re not silly or less impactful. i'm just really tired of people telling me that the tragic ending is more romantic or beautiful or interesting or that the main character needs to "learn" something from the loss of a loved one.

The brainrot has finally won I’m talking about the journalist now-
Because like… Bugsnax has so many interesting characters and it’s so weird to say they’re my favorite but I’m just so impressed by the way they were characterized-
They’re just??? I’m forever gonna be in love with how the devs nailed that line between “character that represents you” and “character with a distinct personality and goal” because that’s so hard to do correctly and they nailed it.
They’re a blank slate at their core. A character to project on. Nameless, voiceless, faceless… you can turn them into whatever you want (both in and outside game) and chances are it’ll fit perfectly into the rest of the puzzle that is “canon.” You get a few guidelines and nothing else because the bottom line is that they’re the player. There’s a whole tag related to ocs of this sort and each one is beautifully unique.
And yet they’re still the journalist. The fandom recognizes them as their own character with their own relationships. They’re sarcastic and dorky when they do speak. They’ve got opinions and goals and so much personality that shows through the little things.
They’re kind of a pushover. Impulsive. A foil to Filbo and a parallel to Lizbert. They doodle in their journal and believe in cryptids. They’re ridiculously tough and can survive jumping off the side of a mountain and being set on fire for half a minute. They’re a character just like the rest of the town, even with that blank slate core.
I could write an entire essay about this creature. I just love it. It’s a huge relief for people like me who struggle with having multiple sonas cause it lets me relate to a pre-established character without mischaracterizing them entirely. It’s a window of connection that lets people get sucked in while also keeping a distance if they want to. All of my favorite games manage to do this sort of thing and god damn I wanna play more that do.

Constantly thinking about how WWX thinks about JC how he thinks JFM thought about YZY but mostly as how he denied and yet carelessly commented JFM thinks (disregards) about JC
It is so, so, so fucked up and one of the reasons why chengxian is so doomed by the narrative bc no matter what JC does or says, WWX already "knows" what is about. Bc JC is his shidi and WWX knows best. And still, pre masacre, pre core exchange, it could have work. It could have, because they love each other so much but JC lost his core. WWX thinks he chose his parents. He thinks Jc choose the dead bodies of his parents, a filial duty, over survival, over him. And he never forgave Jc for it.
Bc now is WWX turn to assume the consequences of his shidi actions, now it is his turn to bear the pain for him. And he does not do it with reluctance, he does not, he does it bc he loves Jc so so much, but still. Still. The hurt it caused it. The hell it send to him. The hopelessness.
And then to see his shidi thrive were he can’t no longer. To see him shine when he is but a shadow. To see him reach for the impossible time and time again as if it was not WWX who never gave up before, who rallied his shidi over his (small, imagined, greedy) woes. To see all that and know envy, envy he had denied his whole life and envy he will repress into resentment, into sth useful bc WWX is not like yzy or Jc he is not, he does not hurt the ones he lives with his jealousy and sense of inferiority. Bc how can he not envy, when one says his dad doesn’t love him but he still has a dad? When one says he is not enough for his sect when he has such a inheritance, such a clear path at life. And WWX never cared never ever ever, how could he? He loved his shidi best, in spite of all the bad things.
And somehow, Jc himself is a thing he has to be loved in spite of. And it’s heartbreaking.
