I'm still on my bullshit.

Today I will be writing a manifesto for why these two, Persimmon (owl) and Walnut (blonde) from the 2004 game Phantom Brave, should kiss.

(click the right image for the rest of Persimmon's hair)

1. Walnut is an asshole.

This is Marona, the game's protagonist:

She's an adorable 13 year old girl who's never had a mean thought in her whole life. On his introduction Walnut attempts to beat her up and steal her lunch money. When he loses badly he instead goes to her customer and gets them to call her mean names until she runs away crying (successfully stealing her future lunch money). He laughs about this.

He's 20.

2. Walnut still somehow manages to have a friend.

Unfortunately we have very few good images of Persimmon. But yes, Persimmon knows Walnut steals lunch money from 13 year old girls. In fact Persimmon hooked him up with the lunch-money-stealing job because he's an informant and knows about them.

What? He doesn't approve.

So why, then, does he hang out with a lunch-money thief? Why does he facilitate the lunch money stealing? Walnut doesn't so much as buy him a drink during the game.

AND YET

2.1. Persimmon is a very very good friend.

Persimmon buys Walnut a drink:

Thinks back fondly on their first meeting:

Worries over his health:

Panics when Walnut gets his ass handed to him:

And even mourns his "death" as the final credits scene:

(Walnut is canonically not dead) (We don't talk about the game Endorph is in but it's proof Walnut is alive at least)

All this and Persimmon doesn't even know about Walnut's sister.

4. Walnut has a sister

This is Castile. She's an adorable 13 year old girl who's never had a mean thought in her whole life. Also, she's sick.

4.1 The world is a capitalist hellscape

Castile's medicine costs as much per month as it costs to buy the island Marona lives on late in the game.

Remember how Walnut stole Marona's lunch money?

You may have already guessed where that's going.

5. Walnut's a sad little meow meow

Walnut* was adopted some unknown number of years prior by a wealthy family that is not wealthy anymore (sick sister). He didn't have a good time of it and ran away from home.

*real name Faded, idk why he gave up that impressively emo name either. Trying to match with Persimmon??? Gay.

Also the power he uses to steal lunch money for his sister is killing him.

Unfortunately for him, God Is Laughing At Him and stealing lunch money for his sister literally almost ends the world.

6. The Sexy Lady Marona rents her Island from Has Many Secrets.

i. Brave: Person with the ability to burn their own soul for a major power boost. ii. Furry: An enthusiast for animal characters with human characteristics.

A bunny man sends you on several quests looking for the lady you rent the island from. You do not know she is the person you're looking for. Ironically these failed quests pay your rent.

Here's why this matters:

6.1 The island is very small and the only structure on it is a one bedroom house.

6.2 Scarlet (sexy lady) does not want to part with the island because it has sentimental value. It has sentimental value because she lived on that island with... an owl named Jade.

She lived on the island with an owl. She lived on the island with the one bedroom house with an owl.

(This is official, they were lovers).

(The bunny man seems to be in love with her too, but this is irrelevant).

7. Walnut is the only other Brave in the game.

Despite the name, there is no Phantom Brave. It's more of a mindset for our protagonists. The power of the Brave belongs only to Scarlet (sexy lady) (loved and fucked an owl in the one-bedroom house) and Walnut (20) (steals lunch money) (only close relationship is with an owl).

Theories abound that Walnut may somehow be Sexy Lady's son, but this doesn't make sense because she's a furry. This is a NIS game so we can't be sure that matters, but Walnut appears fully human.

What matters here is... why draw this parallel? The Scarlet backstory is only available in a crazy endgame insane difficulty extra level. WHY have Scarlet the Brave be in love with an owl. WHY have Walnut's one friend be an owl. The game devs are telling us something. And it's that Walnut and Persimmon should kiss.

8. There's a fucking hammer somewhere in these damn NIS games that changes your race and by god if the owl thing doesn't do it for you that is RIGHT THERE-

#phantom brave #I ran out of images????#walnut #faded #persimmon #I'm insane #but they should kiss #I'm so fucking tired #also they should kiss #long post #SCREAMING #the second image #he's drinking Walnut's booze #*cries*

part 2 of my pining falin agenda aka I STAND WITH MARCILLE THAT DRESS WAS CUNT

part 1

(ID in alt text)

#dungeon meshi #falin touden #marcille donato #farcille #dungeon meshi spoilers #doodles #mine #in my to-do list that second image is described as 'visions of marcille tarted up dark magician style dancing in falin's mind'#making laios call the dungeon lord dress weird in part one is just compliance to canon characterization HE DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME #i looove fashion and fashion as characterization so my headcanon is that marcille's epilogue style is a direct consequence of that dress #she realized that there was no escaping the resemblance to her mother bc it is now a proven fact that black brings out her cuntiferocity #also falin is wearing a chemise de la reine bc 1) plumage real estate 2) similar to her canon dresses and 3) booba

So I'm reading for an art history class, and Baudrillard is talking about the trends in colour usage from generation to generation (mostly in interior design, but there's definite spillover into fashion, architecture, etc.), and how every new colour movement is a direct rebellion against the previous one, like how the bright colours of the 60s/70s were a direct response to the austerity and seriousness of the WWII/postwar era, and how a shift back to organized, moralistic neutrals were a direct rejection of 60s/70s gaudiness, etc., and that all makes sense, people find their parent's style tacky, sure

But he goes on to observe how we've now been stuck in a lull of pasty tones and naturalistic finishes for some time, and I'm thinking yes, he's so right, but that's weird, because its been hanging around for so long, like what is it rebelling against anymore? What is it answering to? Well all I had to do was be patient because lo and behold, Baudrillard provides the following sentence, which caused me to completely wig out:

"...except of course, for the spheres of advertising and commerce, where colour's power to corrupt enjoys full rein"

And I'm like ooohhhhHHHHHH, so this colourless minimalist wasteland of a design principle:

Is maybe hanging on so stubbornly because this corporate hellscape:

is assaulting all of our eyes, inside and outside of our homes, every waking second, and is tainting the very concept of colour into something we can't relax around in our living spaces.

EDIT: The reading was The System of Objects by Jean Baudrillard, 1996 Ed., Part A, Section II, Subheading "Atmospheric Values: Colour" (p. 30-36 in my copy). Even if this was a passionate spur-of-the-moment post, omitting this was pretty silly; my bad.

EDIT 2: I was trying to be chill and leave this one alone, cuz I know most people in the notes are talking to themselves and their followers and not actually me, but 11,000 notes in it's starting to get to me - yes, I am aware that decreased homeownerhship/increased renting/landlord specials/hyperfocus on resale values, are all very direct causes of this too. I totally agree. For me, those were the obvious answers; I think we all get why the owning class is serving this to us. My epiphany moment was about understanding the flip side, the psychology of the consumers who keep accepting it, and even seem to enjoy it. That's what I couldn't understand before, but now I suddenly do. (And for those of you saying such people don't exist, no one actually wants to live without colour - check the notes, bb, they're everywhere. Not everyone has the same brain as you. We all deal with the horrors of capitalism differently.)

#art #interior design #colour #colour theory #home dec #i mean its jsut a theory but #do you start hyperventilating at that second image #bc i sure do #also when you google ads BOY is there a lot of red #I guess bc colour theory you know
