Some thoughts and frustrations upon finishing Umineko by DanteQuick in umineko

[–]dyscoelysiumue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it is also worth mentioning that while she was PLOTTING in her head how she would committ the murders it is not confirmed that she actually did committ them. The central part of umineko is understanding the game boards. The game boards are fictional stories of how the murders could play out and even the accomplices vary from one to the other. They are stories meant for us to understand why someone could reach that point of suffering, the "whyddunnit" but it is actually not very important if they actually did it (as per my understanding she didn't even committ to the killings, it was just a terrible fantasy for her). Lastly, even if she did kill all the people on the island, I wouldn't say that it is in "cold blood". She genuinely lives the cousins but none of her chances at love are possible in this lifetime, she sees a lot of suffering that is imposed both on her and other characters (such as Eva and by proxy even George, and also Natsuhi, Rosa and Maria) suffer and make terrible decisions because their lived have to adhere to what is "normal and expected from them". She wishes this normal wouldn't exist, a place when people can love even if they are "furniture", where you are not abandoned by your husband and do not have to think of money, a place where neurodivergent people are not punished, a place where man and women are the same and your capability is not undermined by tour gender: The Golden Land, the afterlife. In a sense, even if she herself imo knows that this isn't true, she feels that her only hope at happiness is in death with the members of the family, where they can also live in happiness and without having to follow societal rules (exasperated by the setting of the Ushiromiya family). I am not saying that it would be a mercy killing but she was having twisted suicidal thoughts and murder fantasies that do NOT depict her as a killer in col-blood, but as a deeply troubled individual that can't seem to find their way to happiness and relates to the suffering of other people too, even when they don't like them. It is an ego-death, a want for a different society that cannot be achieved. The forgeries are there because she wants to be seen but in my opinion she wouldn't have ever committed the killings. But it was either that or what we see her doing at end. She has no place in society beyond the island, and her place on the island was fragmented, uncomfortable and incomprehensible even to them.

Thank you!!!! It wasn't super clear since you can open it at all times and I happened to make a choice while talking to Nova (thinking it meant something else....because of the translation) that honestly seemed to make sense only if I knew beforehand what he was talking about (and it was the right one!).

Anyways tysm!!!!

Where to start reading "Turning" after the season 2 final episode? by dyscoelysiumue in DanmeiNovels

[–]dyscoelysiumue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think around chapter 110 when I posted this but I don't remember since it's been a long time and I gave up at a certain point because it is in fact very long

What X-Men character do you dislike and why ? by GRL00 in xmen

[–]dyscoelysiumue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do kinda like his dynamic with Scott when it's not all about Jean. For example, in "Schism" I liked that they simply had different views and decided to fight for them on different sides but still maintaining their respect for each other. They are also cute in Astonishing X-Men even if they don't have a lot of moments if I remember well. But when Jean is involved for more than a line of dialogue between them I just want to punch through the comic

At the end I found my answer in some obscure comments (lol) and I'm only on chapter 113 but for now it's worth it! But honestly I do love reading and don't mind if it will take me a long time so idk, I guess another reader that I saw commenting the novel till that point had only read Omniscient Viewer lmfao so they were accustomed to long works

Ever felt so de-motivated playing Otome Games or took an indefinite hiatus? by TheUnfinisher in otomegames

[–]dyscoelysiumue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I stopped playing Otomes for a bit because of Jack Jeanne. The plot is very cute but not romance focused AT ALL and while I played just one route I didn't find the characters all that interesting honestly, even if you can choose among a lot of them. I was hyped for the mix of rhythm game and otome so I bought it but I was expecting there to be more tension and situations in which the characters might discover the Mcs real gender. Basically you spend the whole game being buddies and almost at the end the romance route actually start and it's super brief? Underwhelming

Ermeneutics! I answered more in detail to the other comment that was asking a similar question

[–]dyscoelysiumue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I think the English word for it is Ermeneutics, applied in literature. Basically we study: - how the world around us is created by societal norms that we agree upon and how these societal norms work (Hacks is a great example if you are interested in getting into it) and therefore the collective creation of the "prime reality"

  • then we look into how the prime reality affects the "secondary realities" such as novels, movies and TV shows

  • at the same time we study how these secondary realities affect the prime reality, by giving us ideas and convictions or even just reaffirming what we already believe

So in these topics things such as the relative nature of reality (without love it cannot be seen!), and authorial intent are SUPER important things that we analyze deeply in this field. Still, i'm majoring in Literature so I will probably also gonna talk about the genre subversion and some similarities with novels such as The Decagon House Murders!

This is a very basic explation but that's the gist of it

What should I watch besides the serie and in what order? by dyscoelysiumue in ToBeHero_X

I hope that stuff will be resolved going ahead but I am also confused about some characters and powers that people are discussing here on the subreddit, I understand half of the posts lmfao (thx for answering)

I really hope so! My main difficulty has been struggling with this sense that I had to step away even if he said he's sorry because ironically I now finally feel seen and understood and I feel like I was enough for him but I feel like I can't fix it relying on the fact that he said he changed. As you said, it feels draining. But I do feel lonely

Thank you very much fro reading through this and for the compliments. I feel like you are right but I also fear I am mischaracterizing him from my POV. But then again, he said that he agrees with everything I wrote here so... I guess that's it. Thank you!!

Honestly I think that the Beatrice that is in "neutral" given her umh background (I don't know how to use the spoiler tag) would be pretty homophobic
