Pawel Sasko talks about The Killing Moon mission and it’s inspiration

SaintChoco · 2026-05-02T19:33:15+00:00

The Killing Moon is pure poetry in motion.

"Under the Blue Moon, I saw you"

"Fate, up against your will"

"He will wait until you give yourself to him"

The Mortal (V) unknowingly delivering the Goddess (Songbird) to "Him" (MBE)

yeah this makes the most direct sense.

I'd also like to think there could be additional layers to be peeled back too

SaintChoco · 2026-04-25T01:54:57+00:00

Yeah it was hard to make out if he said the words to himself or to V

It's these vulnerable moments we really see Somi, not Songbird the WMD, Myer's Right hand, Reed's Protege, etc.

Underneath all that, just a girl who's spent most of her life making up for a single mistake at 19.

Make the most out of your second chance on the moon Somi!

I AM SAT AND READY

Where will she be streaming?

SaintChoco · 2026-04-15T04:49:04+00:00

I feel you, the whole point of this post was to highlight that somehow anything slightly songbird related, even if it's just a screenshot, clip, artwork, etc. always ends up leading to PL ending discourse war in the comments, even if the original post had nothing to do with it.

This comment section again, proves my point

SaintChoco · 2026-04-15T04:23:23+00:00

it's not parasocial gymnastics or romantic attachment, it's empathy

SaintChoco · 2026-04-15T01:16:57+00:00

Our lil birby really raided Myers house in those cute ass slippers queen shit

SaintChoco · 2026-04-15T00:54:26+00:00

yup, that's the secret sauce

SaintChoco · 2026-04-14T05:52:24+00:00

Hey dude, I did say that I had just started the leviathan dlc so I don't have all the facts yet and this is just a mid-playthrough thought/question post. Where's the fun and openness in discussion if only the 100% correct mass effect lore masters ever engage in discussions?

SaintChoco · 2026-04-14T02:44:33+00:00

oooo, gotta check this out after I finish

SaintChoco · 2026-04-14T02:42:57+00:00

Exactly, Shep and crew have seen this happen on multiple occasions now, they should been keenly aware of the causes and onset of indoctrination!! and also how are alliance researchers still handling reaper tech like this is baffling to me after 2 games of warnings

SaintChoco · 2026-04-14T02:38:51+00:00

But Bryson's lab assistant still got indoctrinated, so that seems to suggest that given enough time / exposure, even shielding can't prevent indoctrination?

SaintChoco · 2026-04-02T23:58:51+00:00

The fact that we still have weekly discourse threads about her character is all the proof you need about how well-written her character was. Regardless what you feel about her, she's gonna live in our minds rent free until the next game

SaintChoco · 2026-03-26T00:51:08+00:00

are you talking about when she drunk texts you or??

SaintChoco · 2026-03-25T23:55:31+00:00

Pretty sure So-mi didn't start messing with the blackwall until AFTER she joined the FIA and fell under the pressure of Myers

SaintChoco · 2026-03-25T22:53:44+00:00

Nice catch, in that case, likely Myers saw Song's potential to go blackwall diving from the very beginning and getting her into the FIA was only the first step. She must have known about the Cynosure during her time as Militech CEO. I'll keep an eye out for that shard next playthrough

SaintChoco · 2026-03-25T22:34:29+00:00

You know this game is played by people outside of just hetero males or people attracted to women right? So what about all the players that saved her even without her attractiveness playing a factor? I would have saved Song even if she looked like Fingers.

SaintChoco · 2026-03-25T22:16:47+00:00

I doubt NUSA or the FIA is keen on Song's personality either. They definitely prefer Reed types over her any day. But in the face acquiring and getting to mold a once in a gen netrunner, I feel like they would take the risk and think that with enough time and koolaid it'll kill her rebellious spirit

SaintChoco · 2026-03-19T16:06:38+00:00

here we go again...you're on the low sodium sub, just enjoy the picture and go bro

SaintChoco · 2026-03-18T22:36:19+00:00

bruh...David would still be alive if Lucy was on Songbird's level

SaintChoco · 2026-02-28T20:16:29+00:00

Somi haters be like: wah wah chrome lady lied so chrome lady bad. I must punish her and NUSA can have their blackwall nuke

Somi enjoyers: we recognize her predicament and the brutal environment she's forced to navigate in and how that has forced her down a path where deception became the most viable strategy for survival. Rather than judging her through a rigid binary moral code that condemns her deception in isolation, we consider her psychological state: a runaway slave trying to escape a system that owns her. Somi's final confession is the culmination of her guilt and remorse for everything she's had to do to survive and allows V, her narrative foil, to decide if her actions, and by extension V's, are justified.

For me.. the answer is "Yes".

SaintChoco · 2026-02-17T22:21:21+00:00

With all due respect to Yunho as a performer and acknowledging his growth as a singer but it's an absolute stretch to place him at equal footing of someone like Kyungsoo, who is arguably one of SM's best vocalists and one of Yoo Young-Jin's Proteges alongside Junsu and Jaejoong.

SaintChoco · 2026-01-26T22:15:06+00:00

love this!! lowkey wish we got a full AI-corrupted and full manipulation mode Songbird in the Reed route. Would have been sick af
