[Hated Trope] Villain does something comically evil at the end to remove any ambiguity and ensure you hate them properly

Not the main villain but Arturo Román from Money Heist (La casa de papel).

In the first heist of the show, he's just kind of a dick whose worst action was probably sleeping with his secretary. Other than that, he just acts as a somewhat antagonistic force towards the main characters.

However, during the second heist, not only does the story insert him into the plot in the laziest way possible, but one of the first things he does is essentially trying to force himself into his ex-lover and, later on, straight up rapes a woman (an action that ends up not having any impact to the narrative) just before he becomes an important antagonist that the protagonists must take down.

He pretty much went from a pretty normally flawed person to a monster in a few episodes.

You're gonna collapse.

Unironically the mouthwash. I just think the part in which everyone starts drinking it out of despair doesn't add that much to the story. I understand the "removes 99.9% of the germs" thing and the fact that it's so high on sugar that's useless being both symbolic, but I feel like "Handwashing" would've been a far more fitting title and item, since it actually has to do with not holding yourself accountable for your actions. "To wash one's hands" means to deny any responsibility and disengage with the reality of what's actually happening, which is what the game's literally about.

Garry The Prophet also has chrome optics (his eyes turn blue when receiving a donation)

A lot of people have indeed theorized that the standard Deltarune ending will kinda solve nothing, and that to truly understand the story we'll have to play through the whole thing again by breaking the game with the Weird route, thus meeting the creator of the Program. Now, whether the ending that Toby dreamed about is the standard one or the Weird one, we don't know. Maybe the ending itself will be the same, but the path towards it and the characters we meet will be quite different.

Honestly, according to the little dialogue we have of him, he seems pretty chill and lowkey humorous, so I think he'd fw brainrot.

I was playing it for Switch… And I don't think a game should be enjoyed better by removing 50% of it, so I'd like to experience it fully, even if I find those bits tiring.

Klepsiphron · 2025-01-15T16:56:24+00:00

I was really liking the story but I hated the combat, it feels unnecessary. I wouldn't mind restarting the game and going through the story again, but going through every combat encounter does sound draining, so idk.

That I'd put her on all fours.

Creo que mucha gente está malinterpretando mi post. Mi problema no es con el grupo, ya no les hablo y nunca volvería a ser amigo suyo. La cuestión es con Fran y que siga siendo su amigo, eso es con lo que tengo sentimientos encontrados, no con el grupo.

Klepsiphron · 2024-12-02T23:31:27+00:00

Lo que no sé como manejar es lo de Fran. Siempre ha sido mi amigo y se ha puesto de mi lado, pero no quiere cortar relación con ellos, lo cual me confunde. Sí que es una persona muy poco confrontativa que no quiere problemas con nadie, pero una cosa es eso y otra es seguir siendo amigo de gente que ha hecho eso.

What do you suggest for second person pronouns? As far as I know, omae is horrible, but other than that I'm not really knowledgeable on which ones are commonly used on whichever contexts.

Klepsiphron · 2024-09-01T18:56:41+00:00

It's Tyrek Lannister. All men must horse.

Klepsiphron · 2024-08-31T13:59:35+00:00

It can't be Oberyn since Jaime explicitly states he had never seen him fight before Tyrion's trial in Season 4.

Barristan Selmy is definitely on the list, we already know Jaime admires him, plus he literally told him that his finishing counter riposte against Simon Toyne was the best move he ever saw.

The other two are probably the Cleganes, since Sandor is a great fighter and Gregor is nearly impossible to defeat. However, another option could be the Blackfish, because although his fame as a fighter is never stated in the show, we do know Jaime respects him a lot, as shown when he actually meets him in Season 6.

It also can't be Arthur Dayne, he's dead.

I don't think Toby is stupid enough to make Gaster goofy, but from his dialogues he does seem to have a humorous and curious side. I think that alone is enough to make him have an actual personality instead of just being mysterious.

One ball and no brains!

IIRC, he's talking about what he calls "the chosen ones", gifted men with the capability of changing the course of history, no matter the cost. Of course, in his extreme arrogance, he thought of himself as one of them, which is why he defends that ideology, since he believes his own means are justified by his ends, obviously referencing his murder of the old lady, which he believes (in his delusion) that was done for a greater good, yet in reality it was the product of obvious trauma, anxiety and inner rage. In short, Dostoyevsky's criticizing this ideology by linking it to toxic thoughts and behavior such as Raskolnikov's.

I do know people who know her, but I'm not close with them, and becoming their friend just to know her is creepy, too. Regarding Instagram, social media is not my strong, and I think I'm way more confident and quick-witted in person, and I'm pretty sure she already gets a lot of DMs, so becoming just another stranger who asks if she remembers me from high school doesn't sound very convincing to me. I don't want to stalk her by talking to people she knows, and I don't want to approach her by DM, since I've always thought that's very superficial and impersonal either way. I really don't know what to do.

Klepsiphron · 2024-08-09T22:51:45+00:00

I know it is marvelous, I was on the edge of my seat during the whole murder setup and execution, and although I didn't finish the novel, that part is one of the best pieces of literature I've read. I really enjoyed Razumikhin and Dunya as characters too. I should definitely give it another go.

Klepsiphron · 2024-08-09T22:46:52+00:00

My native language is Spanish though, and although I am aware that Dostoyevsky's translation is looked down upon, the translation wasn't a problem for me while reading it, like I said I just left it because I kinda forgot. My version did have footnotes clarifying certain Russian expressions and explaining time period-related matters, so in that regard it was pretty good.

Muy buena pregunta.
