So uh….some dude apparently recreated Adobe Photoshop feature-for-feature, for FREE, and it runs in your browser.

Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!

its like dovewing all over again...

Something I find really funny about Chuuya's character is the whole eye color thing because in the anime his eyes are blue but in the manga they're brown but in the wiki they are described as grey

Y'see, no, y'see, what I mean is like

Claus starts the very first battle with 42 HP (the number 42 is associated with death in Japan). He loses his shoes as he ventures to his doom at the Drago Plateau (another piece of Japanese death symbolism). He re-emerges as a nigh-silent, apparently emotionless revenant - with a broken, disjointed heartbeat. Some Tazmilians speak of him as if he's already obviously dead, and even suggest Flint oughtta give up on his lost son. Which is cold and painful to hear, but does reinforce the game's consistent theme of moving on from grief. This perpetual tension between clinging to the past out of love & hope, and coming to terms with a bygone loss.

When Hinawa's ghost speaks to Claus, she says, "You must be so exhausted." Personally, I get the sense this implies a deathly weariness beyond just how overworked n' stressed out the kid is (especially considering the person saying it is a ghost herself). But more importantly, she tells him, "Come to your mother." Which would be… kind of a deranged and horrible thing for her to ask of him, if he wasn't already supposed to be dead. She calls to him from beyond the grave, and asks him to join her at last. And he does, without question. Recognizing he's been kept alive against his will this whole time, a tormented spirit that was never permitted to move on, trapped in a robotic corpse that's been twisted beyond repair.

His three-years-delayed death, though heartwrenching, brings the story's motifs of grief and acceptance to a natural conclusion. Flint has to finally let go, Lucas has to find peace with it. You can't re-animate the past, or fix anything by selfishly pursuing it. In fact, you may just wind up zombifying its image into something corrupt, something hardly recognizable (Porky does this constantly 🤧). Only by letting it lie can you honor it, and begin moving toward a better future.

'Course, this is just my impression of what Itoi's intentions were with Claus. One of a bazillion possible interpretations, and by no means the most definitive. Even on the off chance I'm totally right about what he was goin' for, he's a chill dude who's stated plenty of times he welcomes fans to find their own meaning in these games. That's kinda the point of narrative art, after all. I personally feel like the story hits harder if Claus' suicide was yet another reckless choice he made, rather than a necessary course of fate. Interpreting it instead as a second tragedy all its own - with its own slew of implications - rather than a conclusion to the first. Lettin' the character be more than just a sacrificial symbol. That's just me, though. 🤸‍♂️

But altogether I just love how many ways this game can be read and re-read. How much it has to offer, if you peel back the layers and inspect it a little differently. And how other fans are always drawing my attention to different angles, makin' me reconsider it in new and compelling ways.

I'll put my heart on the line for you 🐰💖🐰🧺

Dumps these on you

another one for the soul

I absolutely loathe Soukoku but I'm afraid to admit that publicly or I'll be straight up executed by the fandom.

Same but I’m not afraid of execution. Gimme that sweet death. I wouldn’t have so much of a problem with it if most conversations I have with SKK shippers didn’t go like this:

Me: ya i personally don’t ship soukokuSKK shipper: OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCKSKK shipper: HOW COULD YOU NOT?!?!?!?!?!!?Me: well i mean they really seem to dislike each other and sure they have a history but they haven’t really shown a whole lot of interaction currently besides the double black episode and when–SKK shipper: DID WE READ THE SAME MANGA?! ITS SOOOOOO CANONMe: uh–SKK shipper: I HAVE SOOOO MUCH PROOF ITS CANON LOOK AT THE OFFICIAL ARTMe: they pander to–SKK shipper: DAZAI FOLDED CHUUYA’S CLOTHES!!!!!!!!!!!! CANON!!!!!!! THEY GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Me: ok i’m fine if you ship it but–SKK shipper: UR SUCH A FAKE FAN TBHMe: i prefer kunikidazai or odazaiSKK shipper: UM NO KUNIKIDA TOTALLY HATES DAZAI LOOK AT ALL THE TIMES HE’S STRANGLED AND SCREAMED AT DAZAIMe:…look at all the times..chuuya has screamed and–SKK shipper: I HAVE. SO. MUCH. PROOF. OF SOUKOKU BEING CANON. DONT TALK TO ME. CHUUYA IS SO UNDERAPPRECIATED U JUST DONT SHIP IT BC U DONT LIKE CHUUYAMe: but i do li–SKK shipper: SOUKOKU IS CANON SORRY UR IRRELEVANT TO THIS CONVERSATION

it's 12:38pm, time for the autistic chuuya headcanons no one asked for

because autism looks like a lot of different things and clearly no one else is gonna do it so if I want autistic headcanons of someone that’s not a stereotype I’ve gotta do it myself

okay so here’s to chuuya

- special interest in wine and the culture around it. knows all of the history. will absolutely talk your ear off about it if you get him going. the unique set of social rules only applicable in the context of wine fascinates him. he collects wine because of his special interest and has detailed lists of the names and dates of each bottle he owns.

- doesn’t understand or care at all about the gender constructs you keep trying to apply to him. they’re irrelevant to him and he doesn’t really get it.

- he’s right-handed and stims with his left hand while he writes by playing with his hair. keeping his hair longer on one side gives him different lengths to play with

- doesn’t understand why you think his haircut looks “dumb” its functional and he thinks it looks really cool

- loves hats. fucking loves them. a fave stim. the boy can hardly function without the sensation of a hat on his head

- different hats for different stims. different textures, fabrics, some makes quiet sounds when he plays with them. he likes to sit in bed and twirl them on his finger.

- bright flashy colours are overstimming to him. he can’t look at elise on days that mori has dressed her in them. kouyou used to check her kimonos with him before buying them to make sure he’d be okay.

- speaking of kouyou, he’d hide in her sleeves when he’d get overwhelmed as a kid.

- he wears his oversized jacket like that because it’s heavy and he Loves The Pressure

- he’s the pressure stimming champion okay. any blanket is a weighted blanket when you manipulate gravity at will

I’ve almost certainly got more but this is getting long. anyways, autistic chuuya. thank u, have a nice day.
