ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 3hyep, in fact early on they definitely focused more on her so i was like "??? not worth it to get jumpscared by that ugly cyclops just because he slapped a pair of milk jugs on it" 100
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 09/10/2026when they have good quotes, they have good quotes ✌️😔 000

ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 08/10/2026like, one thing i always credit as end0's artistic strength is his visual storytelling, so laying it out like that in jp did a LOT to illustrate exactly how l0id thinks in general, not just in that moment, because it was so alien and impossible to understand that he must've never realized it before 010
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 08/10/2026yeah, that's p much how it went 😭😭 doesn't resemble what they imagined in their head, so they call the whole thing garbage instead meanwhile i'm not exaggerating that this one panel upended my former understanding of l0id and since then i corrected my reading of certain lines or moments from earlier 110
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 08/10/2026once again, i must rant: sxftwt's insistence on boxing ldyr's relationship into trite descriptions, e.g. "she fell first, he fell harder", etc is likely at fault for their limited understanding of the characters and story, bc they never want to challenge their initial assumptions of them/it 100
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 07/10/2026it actually is joyful seeing you so excited to enjoy a personal hobby like gaming again 😊 please keep going after this one is finished 110
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 07/10/2026it gets to a certain point lmao it's like jfc not everything is about your personal religious trauma, sometimes it's about you needing to grow tf up and deal with living your life as an adult 🙄 010
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 07/10/2026sov is almost 10 years old and ppl (well not ppl, 3hbabies) still misinterpret it as a bland "we have to slay the gods and we were so stupid for relying on them bc humanity rocks!" story rather than one great big metaphor about maturing into adulthood, and telling your parents they can let go now 🙂↔️ 100
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 07/10/2026it's up to you...like don't get me wrong the animu gives more spotlight to the girls to flesh them out a bit (jupiter probably benefits the most) but their personalities got changed and some changes (shafting mars for venus, for example) are unforgivable manga!stars is also great if you like 'doka 110
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 07/10/2026yep, and you can easily tell the difference between them... 100
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 05/10/2026i think it's just the form that sounds ridiculous, but the whole "demon wearing human fleshsuit" is so cliche for fe titles that it doesn't really phase me anymore... like for every goofy moment it has i can think of an equivalent one in fe13, not even in a negative way, it just is what it is 😭😭 010
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I'm actually with them; ppl DO over exaggerate all the time feif and how "bad" its story is compared to other fe games to the point where it's an unserious meme, like i wouldn't put it at a 7/10, but it's about on par with fe13 100
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 05/10/2026yup, they're constantly moving the goalposts by saying it's all a slowburn but oh it's not a romance; and ppl are impatient bc they just wanna see the main couple fucking but Wow why is y0r the only one in love while l0id isn't all over her???? either years late, or couldn't read in the 1st place 010
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 05/10/2026throw this on there if you want, it's oct and this one is technically a horror movie (plus it's game-related) (and i guess prescient bc of ayyeye?? second movie is more contemporary for that and thus aged very gracefully, but it's not on toobee) 100
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 05/10/2026genuinely how it felt to me to finally get confirmation of a romantic inclination of l0id towards y0r in the recent arc/chapters, only to have zoomies on sxftwt turn around and say he hasn't "developed" since mole arc, which they misinterpreted as active development for him in the first place 100
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 05/10/2026just gotta learn how to make chokepoints and be properly aggro with your units 010
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 04/10/2026weird bc the bar is really low here lmao even naoise/alec is kinda...boring compared to them, like they're a worse proto-kent/sain who have an actual dynamic to go with their archetypal personalities 100
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 04/10/2026i think it comes down to being afraid to touch the older games; kusokihara was explicitly worried about reception to fe15 bc he loved fe2 and it was a passion project to remake it, so he was relieved ppl didn't completely trash it; but fe4 is the jp fandom darling, so no one would forgive him for it 110
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 04/10/2026yep, all their characters are just slightly tweaked and recycled versions of their older ones; but that familiar dictionary is part of how they tell their stories anyway 010
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 04/10/2026man's literally just purple lewyn... fe4 is known for being ambitious in its design/story choices, so seeing them keep referencing it whenever they talk about their work on the switch games just comes off like they really want to make the next fe4 in the series but are afraid to touch fe4 itself... 200
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 04/10/2026both the 1st/2nd gen protags in that game are cool and well loved so that's why there's some anticipation for them whenever remakes are discussed; plus i generally get the sense from fe dev interviews that their forays with the switch fe games keep borrowing from fe4 here's the 1st playable fe bard: 110
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 04/10/2026would rather have the mythical fe4 remake and all its warts, i can tell that's what these devs really want to do but they're afraid of messing with a legend 111
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 03/10/2026ppl got soooooo defensive whenever anyone said (accurately) that 4nya was the pikachu of sxf but that's quite literally what she is...a mascot that's the essential partner but she's ultimately there to facilitate the real protagonist's journey (ash/l0id) 100
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 03/10/2026it's indisputably l0id; he's the protagonist that the story is centered around, which is why the official jp/en synopsis says what it does if you're animeonly, it makes sense you'd think it's 4nya bc the marketing team is atrocious, but the story isn't about her 110
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 03/10/2026reading about old ppl goes faster than watching them, that's why i kept saying to drop the show after melinda got introduced and just pick up the manga i think if he's consistent for the next upcoming year it would be good to pick it up and binge regardless, since the good chapters outnumber the bad 010
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 03/10/2026i would say it is, bc while it always had little funny moments here and there, the recent chapters aren't just funny but also push the characters forward, mainly l0id, yuri, and especially y0r; there now are also more connections between the organizations, as well as damian's family and associates 110
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 03/10/2026i firmly maintain that the manga has gotten a lot funnier and more worthwhile these past two years; it's been in the most enjoyable stretch of its story since the very beginning of its entire run (like, the recent arc is contending for the top spot bc it's easily the funniest one) 110
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 01/10/2026how i imagine mariah carey feels after "all i want for xmas" reached Essential Xmas Song status 100
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 30/09/2026lmao yeah, like it's sort of funny how true the whole "homophobic asshole turns out to be closeted" stereotype is time and time again especially in murrica but like...reality is unrealistic... 🤷 010
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 30/09/2026wouldn't say it's a true influx; the only rw politicians able to get into prominent positions of power can Only be liars and never believe what they say, bc if they did they'd be too mentally unstable to be effective at grifting off the rw idiots who support them 111
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 29/09/2026that, too, is part of the heart and soul of the franchise... 010
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 29/09/2026benchposting is part of the heart and soul of the franchise, i'm afraid 110
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 28/09/2026they definitely misappropriated that term when coming to defend it; there are romantic elements but i wouldn't describe it as slow burn nor should it be (jp y0r haters are mad as hell that we're finally getting romantic development tho lmao) it was being too much of a school gag comedy for a min tho 010
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 27/09/2026lol my reaction was the same as hers 🥹 such a little sweetie and you can tell she's happy with her 110
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 23/09/2026it Also refers to that one lmao, imagine if end0 told okouchi and katagiri to fuck off and just adapt the cruise arc for the big screen... but genuinely furuhashi's "and then adult killua killed gon" is the #1 thing i think of when it comes up; when a director thinks he's above the work you get that 011
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 23/09/2026lmao hard pass on directors getting to do whatever in the adaptations; like imagine if togashi didn't put his foot down and tell furuhashi to fuck off the director has to have a resonant understanding/love for the original work in order to properly adapt it, changing what's necessary for the medium 100
ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) @altergarden.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"fandom is just so entitled and lazy these days" yep, consoomer brain 😐 and being real, these games are so ancient that it doesn't make sense to have this much investment in the remake when 4 has SO much else outside 4r; it'll only ever be a time capsule, give them shit if they still do it in p6 lol 110
