beatrice keeps introducing her cool OCs into the narrative and it's driving battler nuts.

umineko rules.
A screenshot from Episode 3 of Umineko. Battler, a red-haired anime man in a fancy white suit, looks frustrated. Behind him, a fancy moustache-havin' butler stands. To the right, an orange haired cackling witch in so-called "gothic lolita" fashion cackles. White text reads: "Yeah, no shit, another incomprehensive guy just showed up!! First I grumble about goat-headed people doing the Bon dance, and then goat-haeds start showing up in swarms, and since then, not only have those seven ass nee-sans appeared, but now there's even a butler! It doesn't make sense, cut it out!!"

video games like Fallout: New Vegas offer you thrilling Moral Choices, like "will I have to kill this adorable coyote with my katana?"
Screenshot of Fallout: New Vegas. I'm in the green, computerized targeting menu VATS, about to kill a cute coyote with an offscreen katana. It says I have a 0% change to hit, but it's wrong. Very wrong.

there's an overlap between what Pulse/Kairo does and what Serial Experiments Lain does.
Mika Iwakura, an older girl with long brown hair, reads a scrunched up piece of paper. She appears disconcerted. The sheet of paper in her hands reads, in red ink (translated from Japanese) "The other side is overcrowded. The dead will have nowhere to go."

Dialogue from the game DISCO ELYSIUM. It reads: THE DESERTER - "The mask of humanity falls from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone--eveything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the word. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed." "And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death. The sweetest, most courageous people in the world," he's silent for a second. "You see fear and power in its eyes. Then you *know*." YOU - "What?" THE DESERTER- "That the bourgeois are not human.

USHIROMIYA BATTLER HITS BEATRICE WITH A "THIS PERSON."
A debonair red haired anime man in white stands next to a blonde witch in a dark-and-white-pinkish dress. White text reads: "I may have managed to bluff, but that move of the witch's hurts bad... ...I can tell that I'm cracking under the thing I want to deny the most. This person's trying to close in on me from two directions."

one of my first Magic the Gathering cards (I'm old)
Eager Cadet (Magic the Gathering 2000 set, actually newer than the one I had back in the day.) a W1 drop 1/1 Soldier with a guy who barely looks like a teenager, raising a sword, absolutely fodder for the oncoming conflict. He's toast.

An screencap from Umineko ep 2. White text on black reads: "Forgive your bad Mama... Forgive your bad Mama... ......I'm so...sorry...! Please, don't hate your Mama..." "Uu-... I'm just fine... Won't hate Mama. ...Mama was only being possessed by the bad witch again. ...But you came back, so I'm just fine." "Yeah, ...that's right... ...Mama was just...being possessed by the evil witch again... ...I'm sorry, ...I'm so sorry..."

beatrice feeds on her haters.
the orange haired witch, Beatrice, described in previous posts in front of her portrait. She is cackling with witchly glee.Text reads: "......Well then, let us call it a night. Hostile gazes may be pleasant, but they damage your beauty, yes? *cackle*cackle*cackle*..."

the thing about Beatrice, is that she's extremely cool
a red-haired anime-style woman in a fancy frilled dress with a pink bow on her neck. She's holding a gigantic pipe and smirking. She is standing in front of a portrait of herself in a much more painterly style Text reads: Not as an illusion, but as a reality. The contrast made by the lightning made it clear that this was no mere daydream.

A beautiful portrait of a blonde woman in an elegant dress with a pipe. The portrait hangs between lush red curtains beside a stone placard. Text in front of it reads: It was in Shannon's character not to neglect rules and beliefs such as those. ...So she thought of the portrait of her other master as that person herself, and always treated it carefully, treasuring it. ...And it had become part of her daily routine to tell the witch, who only existed inside the portrait, the secrets of her heart.
