i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 05/10/2026LIKE LISTEN I LOVE THE OTHER ROUTES BUT YOU CAN'T IGNORE THE GLARING FUCKERY OF TOWA ERASING PARTS OF HIMSELF FOR EACH RESPECTIVE ROUTE IN ORDER TO CONTINUE RUNNING AWAY FROM HIS PAST, i'll probably never let go of the shock of madarame revealing that taku was lying to towa this entire time 110
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 05/10/2026EXACTLY EXACTLYYYYY, AND THE FURTHER YOU PROGRESS INTO THE GAME THE MORE UNNERVING IT GETS LIKE DUDE. WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH REI AND TAKU'S ROUTE, IT FELT SO SO DEEPLY WRONG THAT BOTH ROUTES ARE ACTIVELY PERPETUATING TOWA'S COPING MECHANISMS AND HIS RESPECTIVE PARTNERS ALLOW THIS 110
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 05/10/2026YOU GET IT YOU GET THE FEELING OF BEING HIT BY A FREIGHT FUCKING TRUCK ONCE EVERYTHING COMES TOGETHER IN THE TRUE ROUTE AFTER CATCHING ONTO DETAILS LIKE THIS 110
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 05/10/2026anyways this is all to wonder, what kind of books does he read as a fellow dumbass who purchases nothing but art supplies and books 020
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 05/10/2026it's just. good ass writing. incorporating tiny puzzles along the way that pique your interest if you're paying close enough attention and seeing the most satisfying payoff of your life once you complete the entirety of the game, particularly with a narrator like towa further complicating the path 120
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 05/10/2026and then you put pieces like that together, such as the box being shipped with an implication that the clinic receives it in each route, but it's only when he's closest to maya's ideals that it piques his interest... there's so much subtle foreshadowing this game it drives me a bit insane 120
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 05/10/2026the satisfaction one gets when they take notice of the plush that towa bought because he felt compelled to purchase it and consigning it to memory because if you're familiar with his coping mechanisms, you know it's something related to his past/"sister" that he refuses to actively remember 220
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 05/10/2026got around to reading the sd interviews and it's just me nodding so fast i break my neck because it's so important that certain details are affirmed to be deliberate (specifically towa's mental state altering the trajectory of each route, shinkoumi being built around towa himself, etc etc etc) 220
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 05/10/2026admittedly not as bad as i thought since american movies/stories does a fair share of that, still insane that this is the one reason the fandom is that rancid though 010
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 05/10/2026if there's a nazi ending (which. nc why...), wouldn't surprise me tbh lmfao. fascists come running to any crumb they're given 110
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 05/10/2026i feel like it's the greatest privilege for me to be enjoying the game with absolutely no knowledge of what goes down in that fandom bc from the looks of it... nazism is somehow weirdly intertwined with whatever goes on there 110
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 04/10/2026it takes a lot to unsettle me so i was just admiring the cgs for the most part. i did really enjoy the back and forth akira had with keisuke when keisuke was on line, and that ironically pushed them both to confess certain things and misunderstandings they had about one another. love u nc+ 131
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 04/10/2026when i read uncensored i thought it meant you'll be seeing it all, not that the censorship was so severe that they went out of their way to cut out most of the sex scenes... anyways, got arbitro's ending and the guy needs to be shot point blank. got keisuke's two bad endings, the second was insane 120
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 04/10/2026update #3: THE DICKS ARE CENSOREDstatic.klipy.comAngry-cat Angry-cat-zoomALT: Angry-cat Angry-cat-zoom 110
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 03/10/2026YEAH... i get why he snapped since there's so much going through his mind at that point that he hasn't processed properly and it just happened to bubble over at that point but poor keisuke man, not looking forward to finding out what happens after 🙃 000
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 03/10/2026YESSS GOOD ASS TASTE... imagining an uno reverse euphoria scene with them where towa is answering the questions now, but instead of a madness meter it's how annoyed he gets at motomi..... thinking about their potential push/pull dynamic makes me insane 111
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 03/10/2026sd unrelated thoughts: akira getting mad at keisuke! congrats man even if it's directed at keisuke, displaying anger when you've noted you don't ever remember getting this angry is a healthy first step. maybe should've picked his target better but alas 222
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 03/10/2026update on my thoughts after last night's stint: motomi would be a hilarious ass addition to shinkoumi, willing to bet towa would get so annoyed of how the old man has the ability to read into the smallest gestures and discern your life story from the tiniest trail of questions 221
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 03/10/2026(right after saying i'm trying to refrain from comparing it to sd) oh so shiki is femboy madarame... interesting...... 120
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 02/10/2026cynicism aside, i wanted to refrain from doing too many slow damage comparisons but akira seems like he was one of the nc+ stepping stones essential for them to be able to bring towa into fruition. there's already a ton of similarities to be drawn and i've only scratched the surface of the game 120
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 02/10/2026not to go on an unrelated tangent, but the way pop culture speaks of him during his role in "death in venice" is not framed in the tragic light it deserves. like sure yeah he inspired numerous bishounen blond characters bc of that movie but he underwent so much grief and trauma as a result of it 120
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 02/10/2026ok back to being normal about older men, just ignore my previous mada posting too. anyways, bjorn andresen found randomly on the wall 120
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 02/10/2026didn't mean to turn this into a live thread but. i've only just started the game but it's a lot more enjoyable than i initially thought it would be? these cast of characters are insanely interesting, already want to punch motomi in the face and break his d 120
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 02/10/2026opinion so far: refused to fall asleep until i saw the old man, sorry for being predictable. it's written like the most cliche yaoi story that suits the time it was released in, so definitely not on par with nc+'s later games that were written with more nuance, but still fun 120
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 02/10/2026set up a virtual machine just to play the original eng patch of this godforsaken game because it kept freezing on me. no one should be this committed to their yaoi fix but alas 120
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 02/10/2026finally got around to finishing a normal game a bit ago (outer wilds), back to demented yaoi vns (getting started on tnc) 120
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 02/10/2026THIS MEANS SO MUCH TYYYY, hope it provided a bit of catharsis.... trying to find a balance where i don't torture towa too much with the burden of mental illness but he makes such an easy target for vent art (sorry towa) 110
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 02/10/2026i adored that tidbit about rei and towa... towa barely remembering those events while it means so much to rei as well..... i love it so much and ahhh thank you so much!!! i really loved reading your analyses and they provided so much wonderful insight as well :'') 010
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 25/09/2026he *is* a risk to himself and he *needs* someone beside him to either distract himself from his past in the first three routes, or directly confront it in fujieda's and ultimately heal. but unfortunately people make the mistake to isolate every route and ignore that they tell an overarching story 010
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 25/09/2026i think what people fail to see is how one route blends with another and what they show reveals a different thing about towa. it's especially frustrating with madarame's route where people overlook the fact that they're incredibly alike in the manner of which they live and cope with their dark past 110
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 25/09/2026NEVER APOLOGIZE, you've put it together so beautifully and exactly why i love the entirety of the game! it's a painfully realistic depiction of how towa, despite his "edgy and dark" persona, believes in the statements that he speaks of and isn't a superficial representation of mental illness 110
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 25/09/2026EXACTLY! i think that's why i really Really love rei and taku and what they've done for towa, because they deeply understand what he's going through and no matter what he does or what mess he gets into, they'll always be there for him because ultimately, he's not in the right state of mind 130
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 25/09/2026it's not me saying "i have a better grasp on his character !!!" it's just. sad? not noticing all the signs that are clearly there where he clearly doesn't care about dying and how apathetic he is about his general living situation, and missing that is missing how deep his suffering goes 040
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 25/09/2026genuinely flabbergasted at how people don't grasp the passive suicidal ideation towa suffers from (that turns active in fujieda's route) 250
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 25/09/2026don't think i've shared this old painting of towa 02110
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 25/09/2026got distracted from the core reason i booted bsky up, anyways simple loop animation wip 052
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 25/09/2026[breaks it with muttering about how towa suffers from chronic hyperempathy and how that unfortunately aids in his cynicism of how harsh and uncaring the world is when it neglects those visibly in need] 030
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 25/09/2026i know i'm hyper analytical sometimes but i need to clarify that i do be saying some dumb shit in between 140
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 25/09/2026i think i saw someone make a comparison between him and a tnc character and how the latter is more beloved than him. can't confirm since i have yet to play the game but if true i will be drowning myself 030
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 25/09/2026if madarame were a femboy people would appreciate his character writing mo- *gets shot* 130
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 25/09/2026even the circle he's surrounded by perpetuate these behaviors and outside of his route, his future is bleak and he'll cycle into a hell of loneliness that will chip away at his mind. there's a reason why he was persistent in chasing after towa, since towa understands him beyond the need for words 131
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 25/09/2026i wouldn't hesitate to say madarame deserves a bullet to the head but he does make me immensely sad because ultimately he is a victim that people overlook just because he's built like a truck (and colorism DEFINITELY factors into it), and everything he displays are coping behaviors for a dark past 130
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 22/09/2026SAME i did make some other friends that played the game but i'm not sure i trust them to Get It and i'm so glad you do 🥹 010
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 22/09/2026glad i didn't sound like i was making up a ton of shit bc it really felt like it in the moment LMAO 110
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 18/09/2026this is the most scatterbrained thread bc i can't condense all the details i appreciate about his character into the character limits for these fuckass sns, but anyways towa is pretty cool ig. also tboy towa real- 130
i0946.bsky.social @i0946.bsky.social · 18/09/2026as unreliable of a narrator towa is (quick tangent: i prefer the third person because i feel like it adds that needed barrier for both towa AND how he doesn't have a good grasp of his own mind), you can tell how his cynicism and pessimism comes from Somewhere even early on. beautiful writing 130
