but like. key phrase there is ‘a part of it’

charitably a part of it is probably that hundred line is written in a way where I feel like ‘INTENDED EMOTION: Sadness’ is constantly being flashed on my screen repeatedly whereas you have to actively dig into the subtext of junko’s actions to really digest what her deal is

its kind of something where people rarely register the connection to begin with either because they barely put any thought into her story or because they dismiss it out of hand because of their differing genders

having like 20 days where I had fuckall left to do after killing like four different bosses that all require the exact same strategy (create weakness → nuke) only to get hit with endgame grinds that are all stuffed into the final dungeon … what’s pacing

I saw that post in passing and I was like. wow oomf would fucking hate this. before deciding you did not need that kind of energy in your life

almost getting to his confrontation with tsumiki only to hard swerve into his final FTE just to get the love confession out of the way. unbelievably frustrating to me
