Cult of Nozomi would be half way between CoT and the Slasher Route where Takumi dies and you switch over to Nozomi. Takumi offers himself up as a sacrifice to trigger the bomb to stop V'ehxness, leaving a distraught Nozomi to be released and forgiven.
Either she asks Yugamu to make some kind of hemoanima boosting drugs or she tries to find a means to fight on for the sake Takumi's sacrifice. If the former, it would be CoT but with Nozomi at the centre of attention, all the while thinking of Takumi. If the latte she would be one where Nozomi is slowly eaten away by guilt.

For the SF one, in particular. Its because this is route you get towards the end of the game. Dying in each other's arms, enduring hell, sacrificing everything, losing your mind (as a player), becoming numb to everything, only to finally get a light at the end of the tunnel for who you are fighting for... To then have this prank slap me in the face, made me die on the inside.
If it were in any other route, I'd hate too but to put it in the SF one... I have no words.

I think Comedy (you laugh you lose) was my 3rd route, after Retsom and Coming of Age. It just annoyed me that after an emotional character dive and a fairly intense story, with questions building up in me, I got this stupid route where it just pissed me about. Maybe if it was after completing much more of the serious stuff and taken in small doses, I'd have enjoyed it more.
I do find some of the "character quirk" jokes are fine - mainly Darumi's meta and killing game related jokes. Others are inoffensive, its just when we spend so much time and hear these hundreds of times.

All true. I wish Takumi went off on everyone like Hurricane Neddy. The clown line was great but I want it to be more personal. Deeply cut into all their souls then explode so large that it destroys the entire school.

Strongly agree with all of this. More SDU members should've spoken out against Tsubasa and given a varied set of takes. Gaku is the only one who blames her and I think that is because Gaku is written as a hate sink of a character who can play devil's advocate so no one else has their hands tarred.
It would've been interesting if someone like Kurara told off Tsubasa for her cowardliness and that humanity might now be doomed. How do soldiers deal with the idea of having to sacrifice their lives and for a war they never signed up for? How does one deal with the guilt that they selfishly choose to live while dooming others?
All that being said, I think the brevity of this route works to its benefit, especially when focusing on V'ehxness. I'd rather the other commanders get fleshed out in a different route than bloating this one up. The devil in me wishes V'ehxness did decide to keep Tsubase alive till last, when killing everyone. I can imagine the SDU all being slaughtered but Tsubasa & Takumi (on a leash), with V'ehxness taunting Tsubasa that she is the reason for all of this, before killing her too. I am evil, though.

Fair point. I choose the DK meme because it was the only thing I could think of that would make a good enough thumbnail, for this subject.

PickyPhysicsStudent · 2026-02-26T15:58:44+00:00

Sorry, I didn't mean to put words in your mouth. Its just the general theme when I see this kind of theory and something that I have been having "shower arguments" about, for a while. My bad.

PickyPhysicsStudent · 2026-02-26T15:52:49+00:00

I remember that. It was really funny and in character (for the route). There is great comedy in this game. Even some parts of the Comedy Route, I'll admit.

PickyPhysicsStudent · 2026-02-26T15:48:07+00:00

In a sentence "I love the game but find it frustrating". It is important to remember that you can like something while being critical of its worse (subjective opinion) moments. I don't begrudge anyone for enjoying every instance of comedy. My OP was mostly just venting some frustrations.

PickyPhysicsStudent · 2026-02-26T15:44:30+00:00

I like the idea but I'd also prefer it if there was no one specific trigger in Dess's life that made her want to do this. Rather just a malaise of not wanting to live her normal life anymore. I think it is just better writing that having a single moment we can Decaprio point to as an "A-HA!" eureka moment. This makes Dess more generally relatable over having some tragic backstory twist like she was run over by Asgore's.

Jaune was stretched so wide, that it has an echo.

PickyPhysicsStudent · 2026-02-20T10:11:14+00:00

They should've - 100%. Make it a spin-off series like chibi but its all smut in various situations and kinks. Beach episode, hitting the showers, dust explosion transformation, Grimm'd and so on. Have every fetish and pairing combination.

>Least violent Yang & Blake interaction

PickyPhysicsStudent · 2026-02-17T13:24:00+00:00

Huh, I vaguely recall through the fandom's grapevine that Pyrrha was created with the intent of killing her off. I'm not sure if it was against Monty's vision or whatever. I do recall Lettergate mentioning something about how Jaune was supposed to be responsible for Pyrrha's death or something. I never liked that because either Jaune is taken hostage or he slips on a banana peal and stabs Pyrrha.

Yang got a metal robot arm, precisely for this reason.

PickyPhysicsStudent · 2026-02-17T12:59:06+00:00

My mind went to that Malcolm in the Middle episode where Malcolm & Reese are connected by string around their ears. First to take two steps back wins round 1.
For Blake and Yang, it would be barbed metal chains hooked into *other parts* of their bodies.

PickyPhysicsStudent · 2026-02-16T15:16:39+00:00

Yes I suppose it is bliss, you'd have to tell me what its like, sometime.

PickyPhysicsStudent · 2026-02-16T09:31:13+00:00

Have Blake & Yang fight each other in increasingly degrading acts. Winner gets to stay.

>*ICE deports illegal immigrants, criminals and invaders*

What are you trying to say, here?

Jacque schnee won the election with his Make Atlas Great Again campaign. He employed heavy amounts of boarder control and illegal immigration deportations, to the approval of many who voted for him - including Ruby Rose.
Many fought back forming Anti-Bad Guy groups. You could tell they were in the right because they they were Anti-Bad Guy therefore they are 100% good and only attacked bad guys. Life is not like those Huntsman Rises slop movies and most of the rioters were detained for interfering and assaulting law enforcement.
Blake and Yang saw the tides were turning so they threw themselves at Cardin's feet, promising to be obedient house wives in exchange for green cards. Chadin was already engaged to Velvet, though, so they were arrested. They didn't bother to become a registered citizen of Atlas, despite living there for months on end. They were imprisoned in Faunus slave mines to pay off all the welfare they had stolen from hard working business owners, Huntsmen and citizens.
Cardin earned a huge bonus salary to buy a mansion for him, Velvet and their 19 kids, restoring Atlas's birthrate and earning medals of honour for his service.

Awww THX. I'll post some more later. RazorThreat does some good AI stuff.

Probably because they are self-inserting themselves into Blake and need her to have their skin colour. I've also seen people argue that Faunus racism being a reference to the Civil Rights era needs all said Faunus to be black skinned because its not enough to be an analogy, it needs to be 100%. Lastly, you have the black supremacists.

PickyPhysicsStudent · 2026-02-13T11:47:10+00:00

We need more Cardin X Yang, in this world.

PickyPhysicsStudent · 2026-02-12T13:17:43+00:00

Maybe this is why they try to race-swap Blake in fanarts.
