gasps....
i love you both
Okay spent some time revamping my permissions and powers post and putting up the plotting post so I'm going to take a break for now and get stuck in with tags later
okay tags are... not happening because the ol adhd has struck and has set me camping on the plotting post, which i forgot is what happens every time. tomorrow!
five minutes late but man i feel you on adhd brain troubles... why are brains like this
that really is the truest question
at this point I'm just like. well, if I get there in the end..... just gotta be kind to myself and grab me some proper food in the meantime bc that's usually 30% of the issue when that happens
shin --> sara shin's lingering misconceptions about sara continue to hurt me
they're allies and friends now, and yet
and by power i mean the ability to punch things real hard
i fully believe they would do 'i'm not touching you'
of course they would... god why are they both like this.
shakes fist at asunaro for the fiftieth time
i hate asunaro so much... i'm so angry, they could have had the perfect ai too and instead they created a stupid, petty child
a stupid petty child that they didn't even want!!!!
GOOD please do... he just needs some care and a hug maybe. he's getting a little better now even if he's still really annoying. nature vs nurture at work
i'm still :''' ) about the thread with helena and 'it's nice'
please somebody come smack both of them
me too... they're so great
they really are
dfghgfd helena make them wear the get along shirt
the power of the helena beams
she doesn't even mean to beam she just knows shin is her friend and hopes one day ranger can be a friend too
she's so good i can't
at least he figured out that shin's not a mind reader
it's interesting because like, shin does get that like. code and such is made for a reason... he's just slightly wrong about the reason
(i also keep thinking about that thing with shin and sara
sara being 'they value us' bc she knows about the ritual aspect and like. the weird weight being put on her and everything to get it going right
and shin being 'they don't' because they're so careless with lives)
(at the root of it they both agree this is deeply fucked, but their approaches are interesting and speak to their perspectives)
apologies also for the one line and then three paragraphs of introspection, but I wanted to let the question breathe
shin --> nene i keep thinking about shin's Adventures In Flatting
...misadventures, most likely
do you think midori ever did the dishes this is what i think about now
I eat up introspection, give it to me
nene, lovingly: i know a gacha addict when i see one, hiyori-san
yissss a good meal then
n-no... he's clean, he swears!
ranger: is a little emotionally vulnerable a tiny bit
shin: proceeds to laugh in his face while having a bit of a meltdown
it just all clicked at the absolute worst time
he's finally brought out That One CG at least :' )
having a lot of fun with the double meaning of the word 'made/making' also
he took it in stride it's fine~
he'd just be offended by sympathy anyway so really this puts better
both of these kids are killing my heart though jesus....... why is everyone in this game sad
it's just all pain, all the way down
dfgfd god... them both being offended by sympathy
i'm just hhhh
shin and ranger really are just two kids who accepted being broken by asunaro, just in difficult ways
tbh... he's not consciously aware of it so I can't work it on but I really think he recognizes shin as being
Like Him and doesn't patronize him accordingly

All else aside... I rly do think he's more blunt with him because anything else would just be insulting. and I don't think he's looking for that at this point.
hhh yeah.... i still think about that cut convo between them
the smell of a loser....
sdfddf weird not-siblings. karmic twins
yesssss it's interesting as well, like, shin hates people being 'overly' friendly bc what are they hiding so ranger just being blunk is like. he knows where they both stand
they get each other even if they don't like each other
i love it so much honestly
I THINK ABOUT THAT ALL THE TIME.... and tbh I think Shin can pull more from him than others bc it trusts that Shin will never treat him like a person unlike all these weirdos.

so it's fine just hate him and that's fine
but... he sees what u don't and he's cool with being hated and please do so bc Sara is making him uncomfortablebut he wants to support that
for all his dumbass behavior... he does catch on here and he thinks shin is probably a lil different and he doesn't understand it a bit but he wants to support it maybe
dsfdgfdsfdgffg he's not going to pretend ranger is human but watch out ranger, he has Ethics and a shifting worldview
god it really is just like. the comfort of like. familiar ground. something you know how do deal with, even if it's not great, bc it's "normal"
it's fine ranger is at his most comfy when no one treats him as a person so he'll just be relieved
see this is why he keeps obnoxiously approaching you shin!!! you get it!!!
日和
4 years ago @Edit 4 years ago
he'll happily support and add code to a body for rei if allowed though bc that's DIFFERENT
yissss.... i'm trying to work around to shin actually... asking for help on that but he's being Very Shin
and dfdgfhgfd god
his standoffishness having the opposite effect... it's like with cats
he can not ask for help, it's fineee, since shin has pulled this much from him he'll just be like "haha here's what Erik happen when they find out" and then do it anyway vs he knows how dolls are made so their power combined
......... Tru danger
their power.... unstoppable
i think he might get as far as like ranger can help but he's not allowed to know who/what it's for (although ranger's not dumb and has already guessed so im crying)
日和
4 years ago @Edit 4 years ago
I rly do think he's so used to like... a certain kind of tone toward code that anything that didn't match would easily break his normal nonchalant attitude tho as u see sere
runs to look so fast my metaphorical chair goes flying
eheneh don't worry shin~ he gave up on his own existence long ago but he still wants to believe in an ai that is a person, however bitterly jealous he may be

that's it goodbye i am gone i am dead
all else aside he'll a support it bc it's all he wants an and maybe if possible for other ai he has slight chance??? but even if not he like dream cause he human
I'm sorry this is the consequence of inviting me to join your cast...... no happiness only suffering
it's good suffering though
but even if shin hate him...... give word and he throws komaeda in particular out window

or rly anyone else that's use a bonus is it's him
god im crying
one day.... he might take you up on that offer who knows
definitely if midori arrives can't wait for team yttd to plot murder
with poor confused joe
GOD...... he'd just immediately push midori out a window and then brag to Sara and Shin like the cat that caught the canary like be proud of me plsssssss
SHIN I PUSHED HIYORI OUT THE WINDOW DO YOU APPROVE OF ME YET
sdfgfdssdfg YOU ARE GETTING SO MUCH FISH, RANGER
im crying you can join the weird pedestal he's put sara on for being able to kill midori
HAHAHA.... Ranger care about Midori approval in canon a little not in yogen only shin and sara here so he only care about their thoughts... so if shin and sara at throw him out window his AI prioritize. Tru nature vs nurture
i don't think he ever learnt alice did that either rip but he'd be on there too
awwwww ranger....
evil found family ended with asunaro now yogen is my evil found family
rly he wouldn't say it for either of them.... but he shove anyone out window for castmates cause he's lonely and wants approval
he bulli but for shin now. and sara but I think that's just komaeda who sara needs 2 save him from bc Ranger like w/e who curr @ them being lovers
rangerrrr... it'll stay in his heart and one day he'll die (again)
sdfghgfdsdfghgfds what level of last names is komaeda at now
shin --> sara local man baffled by teenager looking up to him for approval on her life choices
especially since it's like. him.
spends fifteen minutes writing up shin lesson plans like i'm doodling hearts in a notebook dfgfd
NOT WHAT LEVEL OF LAST NAMES
he's right to be
he had a better response for the prior tag bc there like. he could see rangers stakes in this but here right now it's like
SDFDGF KOMAEDA KEEPS COLLECTING THEM
HAHAHA SORRY i ruined it but i was looking and like..... nnnnnnnn he's a cagey asshole
gotta protect asunaro secrets
YEAH NO HONESTLY IT MAKES SENSE
the true NDA
they're both like. circling each other and neither wants to make the first move
WHY IS THE VISUAL SO FUNNY
HAHAHAHA GOD THEY RLY ARE i'm crying... he'll be more direct though because he doesn't care
or well he does but not that much
honestly that directness is a point in his favour
shin --> ranger me halfway through this tag like 'actually which project IS on his screen right now'
i went with rei, partly bc this conversation IS making him think about his own attempt to create an ai to the point he might drop it
or at least rething/scale down it
the answer to 'why are you putting so much effort in' being 'suddenly i'm not sure if i should' is :' )
with the motive he had, at least
rei tho.... he does care her
oh no shin... he's a good egg. i'm sorry for making him think, ranger is just trying to figure things out.
no honestly i love him getting tossed things like this where he has to think and examine his preconceptions... rei herself did that as well
he doesn't like admitting he's made mistakes or changed his mind.... but he does learn
he's growing... i'm proud of him
he really is :''' ) yogen's good for that sort of thing honestly. despite the murder
it is... i am loving my cr.

also laughs, bold of you to assume it matters what he likes shin
and sdfgfddf god
the part of shin that was going to be a protagonist when it grew up is just like 'it should!'
but even now... a want and a need are very close even if they matter or don't matter
日和
4 years ago @Edit 4 years ago
oh no shin... that's adorable
i think about things like swap au shin a lot
it's interesting bc he does have a lot of the traits of a particular style of protagonist you see... but he's the antagonist, which i love
yeah, shin's such an interesting character because you really can think that if things had been a little different for him he probably would've turned out a very different person
he's like those pine trees you see growing on wind-swept cliffs
sdfghgfdfg swept by eternal winds
but yeah he's.... he's a very mutable person, weirdly. especially since he'll mirror and pick up things around him like a hermit crab
ranger: why treat ai as people when they're just a program?
shin, holding up uno card: why treat humans as just a program when they're people?
gonna try and get at least one not-current-obsession tag/tag out done a day now... hopefully more
speaking of current obsessions, got in the programming rabbit hole, inordinately proud to find out that keeping using up memory until it's too full really is A Thing
i think he blames himself for falling for midori's charm... he's got this interesting mental duality where he hates the strong for using the weak, but if the weak give themselves to the strong they're being idiots
the hard corners of this way of thinking have been sanded off a bit by yogen putting complexity in front of him but..... this sort of self-blame projected outwards is still there, which is interesting
the result is he's caught between 'it's your fault for being tricked' and 'it's a despicable thing to trick someone'
shin... this hurts me so much because it makes perfect sense for him, and i really want better for him
:'''' ) he has... a lot of scar tissue
he got badly wounded and then just.... basically lived alone two years on it
he was never really given any tools to process or cope with it, just what he could do on his own
:'''' ) yogen's been helping some at least
YEAH that's not the kind of thing you can just get over.
honestly i'm very proud of him for deciding to give up looking for midori in the end, considering it all
but yeah i... headcanon he tried a year of university and All This did not help it at all
but of course like, dropping out only tanked his self-esteem further which is like. hhhhhhh shin. you were dealing with all this
yeah.... it takes time, and work, and resources to heal.... and it's hard if you're caught in a catch 22 of the very thing that means you need help makes it hard for you to reach out for it
yeah, same. i could absolutely see that though, just trying to do something to help himself and having it completely fail because he didn't have the right mindset to do so.
at least he has it a little better now

please get this boy some therapy for god's sake
he really could use some therapy but looks at yogen counselor hm
honestly it kills me bc like, even if he really wasn't ready for it, deciding to go to uni was a step on it's own... but it's hard for him to see that sort of thing, realizing when he does make progress
In the convo with helena he's kicking himself for fucking things up yet again and unaware of like. how more badly that might have gone even four months ago
i'm also increasingly of the headcanon that shin IS shortsighted, given how long he's been indoors away from sunlight and also the slight cloudiness to his eyes in sprites
he needs glasses but since most of his work is close-up...
i love the little moments in yttd where he gets so passionate and caught up in something that he kind of... forgets all his shielding for a brief second
it's like watching the sun break through overcast skies, and it's heartbreaking
lightly patting my cheeks like. tag out today lint. tag out
subaru first i think, i had a whole tag written for him for october and then that ended up in my offcuts rip
which is why shin's going to be doing basketball instead of swimming, good luck shin
shin --> subaru I've talked about the bell curve before but it's interesting when and where shin will put up with being hugged and where he'll set boundaries
he's comfortable enough with subaru he'll actually tell him 'hey no' even if it's obliquely like this, as opposed to like komaeda where that sort of thing feels like showing weakness/a dangerous move so he'll just suffer
and then on the other end of the bell curve is where he likes you/is comfortable with you enough that he just won't say anything bc it's for you, esp if you clearly need it, and it's like shin :' )
trying to catch midori fell through but i still love him trying to coordinate others to trap him even if it didn't work
stamina's an issue but he's fast when he needs to be and premonition could help with intercepting
he's still at a disadvantage though :" )
eyes emoji at that inbox tag
i got lost in the sauce drawing up a room plan and need to make dinner, but :eyes:
what!!! i didnt do anything :3
points from my eyes to your eyes
closes my eyes so you cant get me!!!!!!!
hides behinds my hands.... peeks out... did you leave me!!!!!!!!!
yes i am gone to make dinner, farewell
me being like 'oh yeah he says this' and then remembering it's in a piece of deleted dialogue....... it counts, i'm counting it
it's a very cute segment honestly
(forgive the amateur translation)
oh yeah :thinking: is that the entire group or do i need to wait for someone else to arrive
...looks up... dont hate komaeda too much shin
oh was there supposed to be a tag order
theres not REAAAALLY a tag order but it is you, lint and mira mostly until you snorf around for clues and then ill pop up
yesssss oh it's a cute group
that depends on if you trust me
i would trust you w my life

remember that
sdfgfddfgfd helena going mad with power
i love this group so much honestly
shin --> escape room having someone to keep calm in front of is helping him keep calm, it's like a magic feather
god i love them so much
escape room speedrun bat with nails hack
i think it's a great plan
well there's only one way to find out
'why do they both have extra tallies?' 'don't ask'
anyway there are many cool things happening but if i do not exercise at least once a day i WILL explode so going for a bike ride will return
i also forgot how much this song slaps
shin: wait maybe they have great music taste
IM TRYNA GET HIM UP I THINK HE FELL ASLEEP BUT ENH WORKED SOOOOO HARD I WAS CRYIN
I DID, CRYIN... NOOOO BUT I'M SO HAPPY IF YOU LIKE IT PLEASE!! me out here getting more ambitious with every lil game me and mise host
im like
im blown away holy shit you two
we want to do our best for you guys!!
this is just fantastic
im excited for my turn sm now
we'll do our best as well!
lil shin!!! im crying look at himmmmm
you too have to take care of yourselves as well hot damn
oh Annie I'm actually SUPER hyped for what we have set up for yours and you should be too, I hope you love it actually

but as long as you guys have fun!! that makes it all worth it hehe
i've just got a grin stuck to my face thank you

even more hyped now
do your best or helena won't turn the music off when it becomes insufferable
sdffdsdfgfdfg the full 11 hours....
i love floormaster helena so much
komaeda could steal from him rn
and then bargain at the end like
asdffddfgfdfgff
your turn to vacuum
nms is a gem i love that pun so much as well
and helena with the coatttt yess
he's not going to serve sub par soup :' )
he can feel it through the screen
when komaeda digs his nails into his scarf thats just me wanting to dig my nails into his soul to inject my love
he is! im crying
i've mentioned it before about how like. sometimes a fandom hears a character mention a food once and decides it's their favourite but no he genuinely is like this about soup as far as i can tell
i can only think of this now except the nails are digging into him
NOOOOO SHIN IS SO CUTE I'M GONNA DIE
he is just a little creacher.... he cannot change this

:thinking:
shin --> escape room i'm crying thinking about the water damage if they legit flooded a classroom for this
i know..... rich people :/
the fact shin would have laughed if komaeda wasnt a menace is doing sumn 2 me
he does have a sense of humor :' )
shin, having humor
komaeda, srs about how the car was ugly
at some point he's like roughly 'which of your parents set this up, your mum or your dad?' to sara and then says it'd be funny if she was the boss herself
sdfgfddf komaeda being so serious about the car being ugly is what's funny :' D
it's just a car goddamn..........
DSJLDLJKSDJLK SARA DESERVES THAT TBH
omg please you know how komaedas attire is like. ugly
he chose that bc he thought it was funny
like his shoes ... w the double zipper and stuff...
so i was like... he would find this car ugly as if his attire outfit aint ugly
oh my god that makes it even better
i want shin to know this against his will through past life memories
that komaeda is wearing this as a deliberate ironic statement
THE SAND TRAP I LOVE IT rip his shoes
YES HE CAN KNOW IT AGAINST HIS WILL yes im crying imma try and find the tweet about his shoes bc i gasped like he got those ugly ass shoes just bc he thought it was hilarious im crying
thinkin how shin ruined the sandcastle im crying anything he has to do for the huffin puffins
sacrifices had to be made

ensive:
HE FEELS SAFE ON CAROUSELS..... THATS SOOOOOOOOO CUTE
plurk keeps wanting me to not reply to this plurk thank you plurk
i don't know why but he doesn't have a wallet is making me lose it
also late but i love 'i can't believe it's not foam' and that the plushes got edited into the line :''' )
ITS BC THE CAROUSELS ARE SLOW AND CALMING im crying... it really is the only thing hed ride on if he went...
SAME THIS PLURK IS ACTING LIKE IT DOESNT EXIST
me paying attention to what yall do in thi sthread like what can i do in ps
plurk doesnt want our komaeda secrets
and aww...
hehehehe
also i love that both people in this escape room like to Neatly Arrange
shin --> helena every time i put an exclamation mark at the end of one of his sentences I am like
touches heart
"it would only depress him in it's unattainability." i'm crying
dfgddf he'd be like that person forlornly staring into a shop window in movies
at least he'll always have rock gacha
please waste points on rock gacha trying to win that unlimited day pass
he will :' )
i'm hoping the teachers get paid at the start of the month
he'll try and set himself a limit and maybe go over it once... or twice... but then he's stopping for sure.....
shin --> gacha realising he's so far gone he's getting excited about rocks
get help for your gambling addiction son
:'''' ) one of the reasons he avoids alcohol possibly, he knows he'd be just as bad
he can have ONE vice... shin your wallet
somebody please just start forcibly dragging him away
shopkeep comes out of nowhere and shoos that person away, let shin play
dfdgfds it's okay he actually steeled himself to set a limit..... and only went over it twice........... dfgffdfgf keigo no you're enabling him
ENABLING THIS BEHAVIOR... how dare
he looks happy when he's doing it, let him have this
yes but like all gachamblers he later looks and sees that he spent all his money on something stupid that helps him in no way and feels regret and then immediately goes back and does it more to try and make it worthwhile bc they in too deep
i'm crying time is an illusion but he was like 'why are you getting all those plushes where are you going to put them sara' when he has an entire shelf of rocks now
shin is the resident whale
dfghgfdsdf yep. that's the mood
FDGFHGFDGHFDFG
when he first came in i wrote 'nobody needs to know about his gachas and nobody ever will' and i love the retroactive irony immensely

4 years ago @Edit 4 years ago
well i suppose his vice at least only hurts him unlike some people's equally stupid vices
AND THEN
ROCK GACHA
and at least it only hurts his wallet not his health since he has people who'll feed him :' )
all of these kids i swear to god, i just wanna start yanking on ears and putting people in the corner
good people should take care of shin, he deserves it
he should really find a constructive use for all those rocks though. maybe go around smashing windows with them.
asdfgdfgfd 'sit there and think about why this is not a good idea'
he doessssss and it kills me he's got this whole mental juryrigging going on to even be able to accept it
nooooo shin SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU BRO
not everyone is midori. in fact no one's midori except for midori.
sdfdffd well he's got several nice ones he might want to legitimately keep... windows... might need more arm strength
SOUNDS FAKE????
not everyone's midori some people are shin
^ this one's gotten a little looser at least
now some people are ??? both maybe somehow?
some people are keiji, some people are nao....... im crying shin you're. you really are trying to build a house with three bricks here
true, he does not have the upper body strength to throw rocks through windows. also he might hit somebody he likes and that would be unfortunate. but i'm sure there's some use.
maybe he can put them in some of the gardening club's garden beds. make em look nice
:' ) shin is that one xkcd hang on
oh that would be really cute...
it wouldddd i want it now
his house with 3 bricks really is the cutest of him though I love it
GOD that is him in a nutshell
he's trying hard.... yogen is slowly giving him more bricks though
SIGHS at least he has friends to feed him
:' ) sara made him so much miso soup after they got back from soulventure bc it's his favourite and she was worried
he's got friends to feed him... and now he can return the favor! if you also are a fan of soups. it's good soup tho
food and sharing a meal really is one of the ways he shows affection :' )
sdfd realising this in the context of the first thing he shows ranger being the vending machine, oh shin
does that mean he's accepted him
it's not quite sharing food so much as the food source so it's a nice metaphor for the sort of arm's length i don't like you or trust you but lets open a channel of exchange and communication dance :' )
they're doing their best :''''' )
they really are...... i bet ranger just makes a habit of coming over for like a couple of minutes to bug shin and then wanders off with no real explanation for it
he didn't even realise that's what he was doing either i'm crying
dfghgfdfg he will put up with this
what is it with gingers and poking him while he's working on things
it's because they're cats, shin
it's true, ranger is exactly like a cat, complete with the fact that he comes over to bug you but only for like a minute and then is done with you
he's just checking up on him
he wouldn't think to put it that way because he's too stupid to but that's probably what it is
that's probably what it is and i love it and him so much
'still existing? good'
that's exactly it... god their cr slays me
hands shin a sandwich on the non school day
their cr is so good i love it so much
awwww.... he'll insist on splitting it in half
shin you're... dfgfdf honestly it's a good thing they ARE getting rei a body bc he's getting a little TOO overprotective here
shin --> helena me, in the corner of the party: he doesn't know about the cabinet man
combination of quite a lot of things here i felt like i was doing calculus trying to figure out how he'd react
i'm not sure if I'm doing this right so holler if I've missed something
i'm sorry in advance for the stupidity i'm going to inflict on you
shin --> rantaro it's actually kind of interesting seeing where shin moves a thought out of his flavour text and actually says it
its OUR yttd and we get to do whatever we want while nankidai is out daydreaming about keiji eating egg
sdfghgfdfghhgfdfghgf
what's up with all the mushrooms nankidai
shin --> sara tfw you mold a fellow participant to give you an advantage and then carefully make sure nobody knows not even him so you can't be caught cheating and then you die and get disqualified anyway like if you agree
also if you just thought it was fun to make softboy shin shoot things
shin --> nene shin died before 'mood' really became a thing iirc and it's a crime
sent in the voting for the cooking competition
shin's biases :' )
YES
THAT WAS THE EXACT ONE I WAS THINKING OF
shin --> narumi thread i just think it's very funny if he's stuck carrying around a to go coffee throughout this whole thing
rereading chapter one to see shin's complaining about things being expensive and just being very charmed
asdfddf lemme grab a compilation
STOPPPPPPPPPPPPP NOT HIM HATING THE RICH no wonder he treats komaeda like this
shin --> komaeda +ranger tfw the popular kids ask you to sit at their table and one of them is clearly trying not to giggle
ur right he definitely has to know komaeda dresses rich but thinks its ugly especially his rich ugly shoes
that one tiktok about a person eating at the table and all the kids stare down it
sdfgfdfgfdf his rich ugly shoes that he bought to mess with people
i'm crying how does shin keep ending up knowing rich people.... midori, komaeda, sara....
bc hes the poor friend that u wanna give money too bc u hate to see him struggle
:' ) he's the poor little meow meow in multiple senses
dfdfg thinking about how komaeda funded the dorms and thinking about how he'll need more than two computers for a class...... but the price.........
the scales are tipping back and forth in his mind
i cant believe komaedas sugar daddy era hasnt ended yet...
he can put it off by teaching theory but for how long
sdfghgfd YEAH he really is i'm cryin
IM CRYING SHIN COULD JOKE ABT IT TBH and then komaeda would be like ok
bc hes not attached to his blood (ppl died and he got it) money
WHEN UR PARENTS DIE AND THEN u find a raffle in the bag u were kidnapped in and got claustrophobia by u just be like well money means nothing

but he still thinks rich his hubris,..
asdfgfdfg god
he mentions it offhand in the faculty room and komaeda's like
holes voice
i can fix that
sdfggfdfg god komaeda's life is just insane
merry christmas tsukimi kun
merry christmas! i love it he'll be so '?????hhhh' but also take it
he took the job for the money but........ he actually does like teaching he's finding..... wants to do well for his students.......
is this what mishima felt
his heart gets attached easily despite himself :' )
I KNOW THATS SOOOO CUTE OF SHINNNN LOOK AT HIM his kids...
hes growing up becoming a father
this doesn't mean he's not going to be very mean and be that CS teacher who asks you to right the absolutely worst code you can for and assignment and then two months later when everyone's memory is good and gone hand them all out at random as the new assignment
but he'll help out if you're struggling
he'll get annoyed if you clearly just don't want to be here (that's why he picked doing an elective so that ostensibly it's picked by who's in it) but like. he genuinely does want to teach
he is growing up....... he's slowly growing into himself... his kids.......
it's actually been really fun watching him go from someone who was in the go home club (and then the go to midori's house club) in high school slowly get the confidence to get involved with things........ and then help out with things.... and then start doing things himself
even if from his end it feels mostly by accident
he's grown up so much, i'm proud of him
keep thinking about how well he does after one month in ytts, and it's been four-five months... he just needs the space
yeah he could've done really well if he had the support
the part of him he tried to kill is also the part of him that lets him... actually do this if it gets that support, I think, if it's not kept under the deep sea floor pressure bank vault of survival
why wouldn't he, shin is the weird one here
(ranger is definitely the weird one here)
boys boys you're both weird
but he'd turtle up almost immediately so bonding time i think :' )
okay today has been... another nothing getting done day, including tags, and probably will continue so as a guess
tracking this down to... probably not eating beyond snac all day rip so lemme just fix that
take ur time!! c: and eat good food take care of urself!!
will do!

gun
shin....the cutest actually
one of the best revelations of 31b is that he just does this sometimes
:' ) he's at the 'stop it!!' stage of repeated poking

meanwhile ranger over there like
sorry shin it's accidental obnoxiousness for once
sdfgf that is probably not going to improve ranger im sorry
he thinks you know
it's not and he doesn't and i'm crying
i've just got my head in my hands
is it worse or better than deciding sara sent someone anon hate vote now on your phones
shin --> sidney 'she probably didn't make it' vs 'she definitely didn't make it'
i messed around with icons for a bit but it shrinks down so much you can't really see when the version has tears or not, ah well
shin --> ranger cars and houses both have windows, so it's not the windows that make cars go, it must be something else
shin --> rantaro shin does best when he's allowed to prepare, I think, and realising he has a migraine generator on him counts as preparation
i :' ) every time that moment when maple says he's kind like midori and he's like 'don't compare me to him'
me thinkin that i need to give shin a mint dessert but he doesn't have that rotten aftertaste like midori
mint choc chip
or maybe like that one somewhere, hang on
wait i already said that, sorry, brain
it's especially funny given he doesn't like the flavour honestly
and awwww..... ranger....
NO YOU'RE GOOD I was looking at that and then like well komaeda is a milkshake and gives him a stomach ache and shin is a milder version but saccharine taste, it's just not quite right like somebody got the recipe a little wrong so you feel a little gross after having it... since he thinks shin is fixable.

he is a not quite right cookie
dfgfdfg shin being diet komaeda,, he really is
milk but sweet.... milk tea maybe?
i knoooow ranger pls stop being sad
ohhhhh I like that for him
thinks shin is fixable.... god i love this cr
it can be a hot drink too depending on the kind as well : D
god tho this tag... ranger a cat left in the rain
SAME. this has been today's lecture in ranger measurements. but in order of fixable shin is the most he's just a lil broken
just a little broken
the shards have set a little
HE SERIOUSLY IS his parents all left him!!!!
tossed out into the wide yonder
sdfgfd i hate that i thought of this hang on
yeah he's like komaeda where it's like go get fixed before you rot out
OH MY GOD HE'S LITERALLY THAT
sdfgfdfgfdfg
shin like 'i don't know what you're talking about (lying)'
shin pls if u can have therapy take it
crying at the concept of ranger being like go get debugged shin
man u no if it ever came up he would bc knows the company you kept and picked up after.
ranger... he does care
yeah....... god now i keep thinking about the fact that like
alice killed midori 2.8 years ago, shin lost midori 2.8 years ago, ranger is 2.8 years old....
or thereabouts i need to look at the timeline again
something about 'shin was traumatized before ranger was even born' is getting to me tho
he does like it's complimentary but he's seen ppl with happy lives and i think he knows other ppl shouldn't be them... which is also why he can just casually say shin is correct for distrusting/hating them and that he'd be stupid not to

he ain't dumb and he learns real damn fast
awwww ranger
'it's good you don't like me still going to check in on you'
GOD
THAT REALLY IS GOING TO BE THE UNO REVERSE CARD
shin smirkig like 'don't like you, still going to fix you'
and yisssss ranger's very clever

3 years ago @Edit 3 years ago
i can't believe how alike they are heavy sigh... Shin's a good egg. i'm still melting about the fact that him and inaba gon complete him later laughs
they really are, it's so so good
every day i think about that you have the smell of a loser comment
boys your externalised self loathing....
YEAH :'''' )
and it's going to be with his permission this time...
SAME I JUST. think about that constantly and how obvious it is that it got to him
YEAH god that'll do the poor kid so much good for do many reasons... he deserved so much better
sdfghgf it got to him and that saved shin's life it looked like
like something you have hold of biting you and you reflexively drop it
yeah.... he'll feel happiness and be like 'what is this'
yeah I don't doubt on some level that he realizes it bc he's seen the contrast and because he's smart enough but he's never lived it so he can rationalize it
Omg I can't believe you found a perfect summary of him
HE WILL it's gonna throw him off
yeah.... it's one think to like, know in your head and know in your heart

ranger feeling a single emotion that isn't just intense self loathing projected onto others
i'm crying bc not only is it the emotions they're showing on his FACE too
he just........ starts crying
I KNOW WWWW I'M GONNA DIE
or maybe the tank for that is empty at this point but that's less fun
oh wait no he does it in canon when he's completed right god this is gonna destroy me
that freaking killed me in canon and it'll kill me more here bc I don't have to be caught up in the fridge horror
YEAH IT WRECKS ME EVERY TIME AND IT'S GONNA KILL ME WORSE
yeah.........
shin and inaba looking at each other
ranger like 'turn this off' and they're actually like 'ok'
no one is happy with this, just let him be an emotionless doll
sdfgfd he actually has the opportunity for baby steps here honestly like they could turn it on/off on request, or turn only some things on on request or even write a script so he can do it himself
im just picturing their sprites on this
shin getting all these simple and direct answers what's he gonna do
does he need to add to his db that checking on shin is weird bc he's not going to
he listens except like when he doesn't want to and then he doesn't
ssdfgsdfgd he really IS a cat
日和
3 years ago @Edit 3 years ago
HE IS he just keeps like jumping on shin's lap and swishing his tail in his face and meowing loudly and then scurrying off
sdfdf leaving a line of qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq on shin's keyboard
that is what he's here for.
shin's just on the network one day and ranger comes by and starts pushing keys and then hits sent and leaves so there's just a random keysmash post
sdfddfdfgfg
the mysterious shin tsukimi at it again
speaking of cats, i got distracted my this warrior cats maker it's not making shin look poor little meow meow enough he looks too cool
but i think i got as close as it will allow
oh this is so cute... ; u; this is a good shin kitty
it iiiiis. sadly no bright teal cats allow
:' ) i went with the droopy ears bc scottish folds have health problems but also their ears make it hard for other cats to interpret them so they can have social ones as well
but also because i saw an art of him as a lop-eared rabbit furry and was like, yeah, his ears are like that
the red collar is also fun... i was like, would it be the kerchief... no it's the collar
midori be like that stray ass nasty cat who stole a collar
i love that so much... also omg that's so legit tho
sdfgfddf he WOULD kittypet fake
he gets food from so many doors
im crying shin actual kittypet with blue collar, traded it in
yeah shin my housefolk are just out for the week come over
sdgfsdfgdf this cat tree totally belongs to me, cool right? don't question the smell of blood
god this whole au is unfolding me bc i love the idea of stray adopted kitten kanna who kugie took a while to warm up to
kugie who keep beating people up in the backyard
i hope gin is the ONLY clan cat
god
yes
he keeps talking about starclan and everyone else is 'what are you on about'
it's all either strays or kittypets
gin misses his mom : (
thank god talking to dogs is a canon skill (1) cat has in canon
kugie swatted his nose once
asdfggfd YES
sara the official dog whisperer
shin --> ranger i think i've realised why he's being a bit spikier than I though
it's because that information about asunaro is starting to percolate through, and ranger is, unfortunately, the only member of it here
so while like. shin can reason out his involvement was limited just by his nature of existence, emotionally it's bleeding through a bit
though like... i feel like if he has to take it out on one of them ranger is the best one to do so. he's kinda fortunate.
the others are kind of...
maybe safalin would be fine too, but the other three
it really is a completely fair response though because man they hecked him up pretty good. especially midori.
they really did :''' )
god it's just. i love this so much
it's just. the delicious pain but also like. hhhh all the complexity
i love him he's treating this like a puzzle box
shin --> sidney this is like the little shock you get before the earthquake
flimsy little mental defense of 'haha he must be just saying that... for some reason...'
ohohoh yesssss i love this, i'm rubbing my hands together
do we want to bring in inaba as well now or later? we were talking about that at some point i think
i think a little later would work better. once he commits he'll behave, but he's still kind of ready to scurry off and hope for the best.
he doesn't like thiiissss
nods we'll go until the natural station for it then
yessssss i love it
he's like he's going to the dentist he's being very brake
he is being so brave!! he'll probably show shin the prodigy note which is an interesting little look under the hood
in case shin hasn't realized how dysfunctional these people are by now (he has)
he has but it's like reading a wikipedia article and seeing the video footage like 'damn'
dfgfdfg he really is like 'fuck these people i respect none of them'
moment of sympathy gone
keep thinking about that time he wonders if gashu is trying to help them... he really does have that side of him wanting to see the best in people that the rest of him is like 'you. go get locked in the basement'
it really is. he really should not sympathize with any of them because they're all pretty terrible people. honestly shin has the exact right attitude
he does... honestly i am proud of him for reaching that point
that he can be like that about those people, and 'i don't care about you' to midori
shame about some of the side effects but you know, progress isn't linear
it's not, but i'm proud of him for how far he's come too. he's doing so good, and honestly especially with midori who did so much damage to the poor guy
i'm so pleased with him helping ranger despite, y'know, the perfectly good reasons he has not to
exactly yeah
logic route is a never ending stream of

but i do like that he got that closure about the guy
it's so sad and i haaaate it but i love shin's character arc so much
yeah!! i love it so much like. these two different elements of like he doesn't like ranger but.... abusing that sort of power doesn't feel great either
i love how shin ends up disproving his own thesis about the world by accident it's beautiful
it's such a good character arc i'm genuinely ready to be destroyed by 3-2
keep thinking about that one squid game art of shin and sara at opposite ends of the table in suits
he really does, like he's too good of a person to really follow through with the philosophy that he wants to have, and honestly i think he'd do a lot of damage to himself if he succeeded in any real capacity so it's for the best
saaaaame i'm so ready for 3-2 but also not
omg i need to see this art that sounds amazing
yeah... me and annie were talking about how like. both shin and sara can't break the glass of really truly becoming something like midori which is genuinely not caring about other people
shin's already mangled himself heavily doing just this much
same when it comes out it'll be my turn to die
yiss lemme try find it
shin: I can't believe komaedas dead
komaeda: damn hi tsukimi kun
shin: ugh I can still hear his voice
komaeda: ?
SDFGFDFGFF that's it that's him right now
komaeda is going to shine a red light in his eye so help him god
dfghhfdf an orange one maybe
im crying tho we haven't had a murder in november 'wow it's a bit late this month'
NASBKSJS shin says this and the body discovery announcement happens December 1st
komaeda knew shin was a token of good luck
no that's just his jacket now, he's keeping it and komaeda has to live with it
he's so cold.... let him in....
it's true he does need it more

3 years ago @Edit 3 years ago
shin's troubleshooting is killing me though, i love that he's just got that little second of oh
things that he did not expect from today: this
yisss i had a lot of fun having him go like 'what is it- oh fuck'
HE REALLY DID NOT
its ok shin u can be worried ab komaeda for like 5 seconds
nms!
3 years ago @Edit 3 years ago
so u can be like snaps fingers "I didnt get to loot his body to add to my kin powers"
sdfggffghgf crying
picturing shin wearing komaedas awful shoes
shin: is komaeda dead?
shin:
shin: anyway
STOP NOT HOW SHIN WOULD TAKE HIS SHOES i hope he do the double zipper kills me mentally
THAT REALLY IS HIS REACTION im crying
still thinking about 'wait did i send komaeda to the location where someone is ready to murder? ...well anyway'
the distaste ppl have for komaeda and komaeda the only one out here who cares about their hope, unrequited love does sumn to u
similarity of someone maybe-dying in front of him as well, now i think about it. the ~ parallels ~
same, i love them so much
dfghgffg komaeda no
IM CRYING NOT THE PARALLELS STOPPP
i'm thinking about like. how many of the events he's seen and experienced in yogen are woven into this moment :''' )
people dying in front of him, working on rei....
HE REALLY IS i love him
when it comes down to the wire he's someone who wants to help if he thinks there's still something he can do
keep thinking about how even in logic route where he's at his most 'i hate all of you' he still... is kind
PLEASE KEEP GOING LINT my masochism slipped im sorry
sdfdf i was finished honestly but the nms twirling hair saga has been an event
im crying i was kinning komaeda in that exact moment twirls hair not so sou? very so sou, keep it up never stop king twirls hair faster are you 6'8" with the beanie when you talk down to us like that
sddffdfgfg i love the concept of komaeda in yttd so much now
bc of him being the only one being like 'yessss keep going sou' in that first main game
holding him just like this
IM CRYINGGG IT BLOWS MY MIND because he would NOT be calling shin a coward im crying hed think hes so interesting for that im tearing up first main game shin is his favorite, esp when he played like he was in a tiffy abt everyone going against him (komaeda would have been a lil ... ) but then the SNAP the HOPE? how he made SENSE at the same time
yeah yeah main game shin trial 1 was def his fav player now its all downhill from here
KOMAEDA CARRYING HIS FERRET SOU AROUND
yeah at his heart, shin really is a person who wants to do good and who just has too much empathy and care to really be the kind of person that he sees as "correct" and that's probably a big piece of why he can't actually manage it
it's so much easier when you can actually see people as disposable and objects
sdfgfddfgfdf
komaeda like yeah the sou hiyori show went downhill after the first season
hhhhhh yeah shin has just. too big of a heart no matter how much it gets injured or how much he tries to carve it into shape
its fine shin lasted longer in his sanity than komaeda did
he gets angry or bitter about instances of his own worldview i'm hhh. there's so much going on
asdfdfgdfg managed to make it further through the trial
me sitting bolt upright like wait has shin ever seen the asunaro logo
OH THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION
i feel like kai's laptop probs doesn't have it bc he's supposed to be 'undercover' but
i know midori left that list of passwords lying around for funsies, it'd be just like him to have something meaningless like the logo around just so shin can kick himself years later
I WAS GONNA SAY honestly i wouldn't be surprised if he'd seen it just by virtue of knowing midori for so long
game show host voice lock it in
he'd probably think it was hilarious to drop little hints like that only for shin to increasingly realize what was going on and how much he overlooked later
YEAH
sdfgfddf god
midori having 'read the manga' energies
me when i tell nms to pick this dialogue option don't ask why it'll be funny
bet it annoyed shin to no end
'he was always doing meaningless things and pretending they were important'
it kills me that line where he's like 'maybe if i paid more attention then....... as if'
on the one hand that's growth, knowing that it's a bit like that second trial door, and on the other, : (
lkjhgdfsa okay but we gotta guide nms on her journey
it's true
we gotta give her the director's commentary bonus extended cut content
yeah, honestly that upsets me so much because it's one of those things where it probably wouldn't have made a difference - which is, of course, the point since it's just to make him feel even worse and more incompetent about things that were really beyond his control (because, y'know, it was nothing enough that he could do anything with it
and he was being crushed by our green haired emotional vampire there)
yeah... it's a lot to come to terms with but you gotta do it
it just kills me bc it's not like he did anything wrong, it was a deliberate set up to hurt him
i'm just like that mom with the camcorder going 'you're doing amazing sweetie'
it was just meant to be another twist of the knife

3 years ago @Edit 3 years ago
come here midori i just wanna talk
i keep saying it but watching his growth in yogen is really just such a gift
him just telling ranger to plug himself in already... that got to me a lil i'm not even gonna lie
yeah... yeah....

like it's brusque but it's also just like. no hesitation :' )
dfsdfd giving him realistic growth for what he encounters and experiences while also maintaining the core of his character, a balancing act but i'm having un
this is something he can do and someone he can help.....
shin --> ranger shin 'i can only use two monitors at the same time : (' tsukimi
kills me bc that's pretty good multitasking for someone who isn't a cabinet man
annie proposed to me that shin's good memory might be partly or wholly due to midori bc it's one of his Interests
and the idea hit me and hurt me of if shin was unknowingly trying to keep up with an ai's perfect memorisation and feeling bad bc he couldn't do as well as midori and hhhhhhhhhhhhh
shin "multi track thinking" tsukimi
thoughts in parallel processing at all times
every day i think about that one skit about being stuck in an elevator with an angry dude and the line 'in situations like this your mind just goes BRRRRRR with options' and that's it that's him
also leetle handwave bc idk if setting up that kind of coding environment is actually a thing or not but eh
i do love playing with like, the duality of how his mind works it lets me do fun stuff in the introspection
he is really damn good... though man that stings because yeah, trying to keep up with an ai just... hrgh

oh also i was going to put in the request for cremation coffin and apparently it's on them???
yeah but he's emotion route
AHHH okay sorry, my wires must be crossed then
and hhhh yeah it hurts meeeeeeeeee
holding himself to standards that are just setting him up to fail....
i keep forgetting little details like this, i honestly did forgot it was on there because i have the brain of a goldfish
no worries like. there is a LOT of information to keep track of in this game
it's interesting it starts showing up on midori's floor tho
he has it all laid out
YEAH honestly even without that too it's like... i feel like comparing yourself to people who had every opportunity, and had the best environment for it/the resources, and then just... didn't have to deal with crippling depression and abuse.
which ties back to the first one but
really it's like wondering why you have less money than somebody who was born into riches and who inherited a megacorp
YEAH YEAH
you've hit the nail on the head there like i've sometimes been like it's amazing he retained any coding knowledge AT ALL from that period
was able to learn at all when learning involved being made to feel worthless or stupid every time he made a mistake and being told to figure things out himself
yeah, gosh, you think about how he could have been if he'd actually had a nurturing environment...
and yeah.... leaving aside the modifications midori had had years of time and money and the like behind his skills
'he didn't even go to my highschool' gets hhh bc shin felt he couldn't keep up with a peer, like one he considered an older brother type but still in that area
HHH YEAH
the ongoing tragedy of shin tsukimi
just... not in a place where he had the support to thrive
there were his parents, who doted on him as far as my headcanon goes... but they weren't equipped for this i don't think and they're well meaning and try to be supportive but hhhhh
he wants to do well for them and that only adds to his sense of shame and it's like shin....
and the year of university idea kind of plugs into this as wll, kicking himself for failing when he's got these weights pulling at him
sits bolt upright god no wonder he didn't notice nao coming from behind if he was hyper focused on memorizing the emails in case the battery died
yeah, there's a lot of parents who mean well but just aren't really well equipped to deal witha kid, but especially one who's having issues... and especially if you don't really know what's going on in their life. man, this poor kid
OH HONESTLY that would make a ton of sense
yeah... it's just one of those sad cases where it's like. everyone involved is trying their best but it isn't really enough...
this poor kid i keep thinking about how he was 17 at the time
IKR
i think he did twig, maybe with his premonitions, like turn his head a split second before impact, because he knows it was her which means he saw her face
and also i love the cinematography of it
but it was a little too late :' )
shin --> sara pointing a gun at him with the same grip he just taught her is Getting Him
im sorry shes 17 and swings guns around willy nilly nobody ever taught her gun safety ever they just let her run wild and free in a killing game
it's a toy but that narumi memory is still fresh :' )
sdfghhgf makes me think of this meme
they really were like here you go have fun
i still think about her trying to shoot gin's cage
do u think they got keiji to partner up with her so she'd learn an ounce of gun safety and this did not work
keiji really let this happen HE is the culprit
he really is he saw her handle a gun multiple times and said jack about it
just sitting there in russian roulette like well this is how i meet my maker i guess
shin --> sara me posting this thinking about every single 'the yttd cast plays uno' meme
shin --> sara he's made so much progress in a lot of respects and i'm proud of him, but also
im crying i've just remembered the shooting stall npc is there and hearing this whole thing
it's okay he's got his pda to scroll through he's happy
dfdfg they figure this argument will go on a while, break time
if it gets too intense they can call sidney to gently move daughter and friend to the side
sdfdfffg 'other people want a turn' 'sorry' 'sorry'
he was Summoned by the introspection
CRYING they're weirding out everyone here
sdfghdfg 'transfer student drama again' 'ugh'
npc running the booth: WOLFE-SENSEI....?
sidney, sighing to come Remove People:
sdfgdfgf he's the 'come on take it outside you two' guy
sidney come tell shin violence is fine actually :/
she deserves little a murder, as a treat
shin --> nene i waffled for so long on if he'd attempt small talk first but no jumping in feet first makes more sense i think
oohh!! I had a q to ask you about the lantern actually
yesss!! wait I'm shy tho let me hit you in disc rq
no worries thumbs up emoji
opens my mouth and eats it
he's trying his hardest, and yet.... his stats.......
also that he has no idea... that it might have had something to do with him, possibly
he really is trying so hard but his life is just so much
it's just been... so much
:'''' ) he's draining the sink and the bones of dishes are appearing
there really is just... so much, layers of it
yeah honestly there's just so much for the poor kiddo to unpack and really work through there
:' ) he's got no map and there's a lot but... he's making the attempt
shin --> helena i was like 'would he do this' and then i remembered in ytts he almost drowns trying to get seaweed for food/show off he can swim so yeah
reading the hearts meme and being very charmed
shin --> helena it's easy to feel like revealing his name killed him, even though that was kind of superfluous to it
this is a guy who faked a text message from a dead person to make someone feel better :' )
it is such a shin thing to do... i'm crying
:' ) he's a liar.... not a good one, but one
ikr the moment the tag headed that way i was like 'oh shin'...
sdfgfdfg oh no, he's summoned komaeda with his thoughts
he's still kind of deflecting a bit, but he will elaborate if ranger presses further
komaeda scratching at the door
sdfgdfghdfgf
thinking about crona scratching at the counselor's door
like student like master
im also crying remembering this thread takes place in the context of shin wondering if komaeda's dead maybe he felt safe enough to think it
shin --> senku i blacked out and the spirit of sou hiyori once more possessed my mortal form
;LKJHGDSA KOMAEDA'S NOT DEEAADDD
i'm still crying about shin thinking that and just shrugging it off
sdfdfd that one hot fuzz 'shame' gif
sorry komaeda he's already processed midori's death and by extension yours
WHAT IS WRONG W HIMMMMMMMMMMM
hope he doesnt know komaedas alive and has a nightmare
sdfgdfgds he probably will
tbf i think if it was confirmed confirmed 100% he might feel some conflicted emotions
KLSJDKLLJKDi dont know if i want to cry bc of that or just want shin to have one night where he can drink to himself and remove his troubles
sdfgsdsfdsfg you find him collapsed face down on the dorm couch with a bottle of fizzy grape juice
NOT HIS FIZZY GRAPE JUICE the ouma in him lives on
dfgfdfgh it's true... their dna
kind of sad they never met but sfdgf shin probably would have found ouma annoying with no self-awareness
why do the komaedalings have sumn against each other
ITS LIKE THEY CANT THRIVE THEY LIVE TO SUSPECT EACH OTHER
dfdgffdsfdgfdfs some part of them subconsciously Knows
they're like tigers they need like miles of territory each
like komaeda wouldnt smother himself in the crib
I HATE THEY DOOO THEY CAN FEEL IT just know sumn aint right about this one...
the cain instinct...........
LEAVE BABY KOMEADA ALONE, KOMEADA.
STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
this is why nobody should let komaeda have a time machine
stop baby komaeda is just ouma we can kill that one off
STOP IMAGINE A WORLD W/O A KOMAEDA
nms!
3 years ago @Edit 3 years ago
the other "komaedas" would too die
ME WHEN I WAS REWATCHING CHAPTER 1 AND KOMAEDA WAS FLIRTING WPEKO FOR A HOT MINUTE
WAIT WHAT I DONT REMEMBER THAT
he was saying she had a cute name and that he was surprised someone with it could be a swordswoman that could kill ppl or sumn
but he was in his flirt era
IM CRYING STOPPP DONT LET KOMAEDA CONFUSE U HE MAY KILL WOMEN BUT HE ALSO... FLIRTS W WOMEN
and god im crying shin and ouma starting to do that back to the future fading out thing bc somewhere komaeda killed his baby self

the world when komaeda kills his baby self and shin and ouma fade out of existence so only joshua and kaworu remain
sdfghjghfgdfsdsfgfh 'we have to go back as well and stop him!' 'do we?'
shin like unfortunately YES in the background
JSKJLDJLKDJKL SHINS WILL TO LIVE INSTINCT IS SO STRONG
IT IS. IT OVERRIDES EVEN KOMAEDA BEING ALIVE AND AROUND
CRYING OVER KOMAEDA AND OUMA THE ONES TO JUST GO OUT GUNS ABLAZING AND SHIN BEING LIKE...............CAN WE NOT
sdfgfsdsfdgfsd he got all the will to live from them
someone stop him stealing the time machine and trying himself he needs to be supervised (not by a 14 year old)
shin the one of the three like 'i would prefer not to'
we have to canon update the elevator to a time machine so he can meet himself himself and not a bad end world
SHIN REALLY IS HE LIVES BC THEY'RE THE TYPE WHO WOULD DIE FOR SOME "greater good"
shin like the greater good is my survival
:''' ) tbf the greater good IS his survival in yttd at least
if he can get out with everyone... well it's a win
that meme like come on boys lets get together and komaeda has a spear stab, and ouma is all bloodied up with darts and then they're like hey shin wheres your death wounds
hes enough of a death wound
dsfdgfhggsd god he really is
for many metaphorical reasons
shin REALLY wants to leave him at home
it's a catch 22 bc if he's a shin's home he can touch shin's stuff without him knowing
shin should have been a clean freak just bc of that
like having to wash and disinfect every day bc midori fucking touched it again
god you might not be wrong, actually
(also crying at the concept of him meeting his past self they would Not Get Along, shin im cryig)
NOT SHIN WOULDNT LIKE HIS PAST SELF
komaeda whispering in shins ear just kill h
komaedalings really don't vibe well with each other huh
yeah komaedalings always feel threatened or sumn that they take it out on themselves (symbolism)
sdfdgdsdfd god
he's already killed himself so many times what's one more
IF PAST THEM LOOKED AT FUTURE THEM sighs
kinda sad maybe komaedalings cannot meet themselves when younger
not without careful supervision and five feet of enforced distance
is there anyone komaeda won't flirt with just for fun
they need their emotional support sanity to keep them from k wording themselves actually
i was gunna say junko but he had that phase
wait maybe he would but then call them ugly after
AND THEN HE COMPLAINED TO SOMEONE THAT THEY WERE UGLY imma cry please
KOMAEDA YOU CAN'T JUST FLIRT W PPL AND THEN CALL THEM UGLY YOU STUPID TSUNDERE
thats what the chara said to him but komaeda was like no i wanted x thing but they were ugly so they dont matter
you see i kinda cry bc i have to sit down and be like
who is pretty and who is ugly to komaeda
so i had to say joshua kiryu was ugly bc he reminded komaeda of himself
ngl him just squishing Ranger's face and being like um excuse you ill be the judge of that about him being pretty or not makes me laugh every time i remember it
he is pretty tho komaeda would have just been objectively wrong if he decided otherwise
i think komaeda has good taste in faces i have to judge everyone so they know where they are on the scale
because he reminded komaeda of himself im cryig
STOPP THE WAY U HAVE TO BE UGLY IF U REMIND KOMAEDA OF HIMSELF IM TEARING UPP
ultimates are obligatory pretty but everyone else....
never tell sara if she finds out she's not top tier she'll get the gun again
HES NEVER SAID WHAT HE THOUGHT ABT SARA
ngl that side bang of hers might be saving her
does this mean shin is ugly to him or is it more a physical resemblence thing
that weird protagonist hair piece that makes no sense...
komaeda like if u arent in my radar u are ugly
IM TRYNA FIND WHEN ME AND ENH TALKED ABT JOSH it was his looks and personality so that netted him ugly
IM CRYING NOT HOW I GOTTA RATE SHIN
where is my cute ugly chart so i can just put ppls charas on it
but if we say that shins on his radar its giving him a pass
serious question will ranger be any more or less pretty once he's not just a dead eyed emotionless doll like does that matter or no he don't care

imcrying
sdgfsfdg he's getting a pass
need to see komaeda's hot or not
also i'm leaving the ranger and shin thread for now bc that's a good point for inaba to drop in when len is free rn but i want to say in light of current topics i'm rapidly realising ranger's code is part of his attractiveness as far as shin is concerned and im crying
his code is a work is art aside from gashu's meddling
shin should be FURIOUS that somebody would ruin that
things shin likes but will never admit:
> muscly arms exposed by rolled up shirt sleeves
>

code
well gashu apparently fuck that guy
pfle: i think his pretty/ugly is on a superficial level bc he can grow to like plain bc you see................he likes hinata, josh just reminded komaeda too much of himself
I HATE TO THINK ABOUT IT josh did sumn to me
I'M CRYING AT ALL OF THIS
he's starting to wonder if gashu did this just so he could take sole credit
I'm glad we can all agree that gashu can fuck off
komaeda would flirt w him
YOU KNOW... TBH I KIND OF WONDER IF THAT WAS A FACTOR
because it's weird that he deliberately makes it seem like he's the only one who did anything
:''' ) removing the other's work so... no positive emotions
i wonder if that means miley worked on the expressions
that would make sense up me since we know he has all the right mechanics... ughhh fuck him
'we made this' 'we made this? .........i made this'
日和
3 years ago @Edit 3 years ago
gashu tbh
gashu joining rei's senpai on the list of people shin wants to have words about ai treatment about
PLEASE DO

ugh thinkin bout how different his life could have been
it really could have :''' )
shin --> helena local man's sense of self as fractured as that computer screen
honestly i think the soul wound absolutely didn't help with this
i need to think about what effects that may have had, because i want it to have had some
shin --> helena he's a little curious, like someone doing your horoscope for you
shin --> helena something it hasn't occurred to him ever to do; mourn himself
getting into the home stretch of november, so some rough plans to straighten out my thoughts (this isn't plotting, i'll do that when the dec plotting post comes out)
- getting any extant october threads i still have up to five for bonus AC, if you want some and it's my turn feel free to flick me
- doing all the november tagouts i wanted to do before i died, so at least they're there
- getting back onto escape room thread, gotta figure out a good angle to come in, sorry i kept going into a coma on that one guys
- getting other nov threads up to five etc
- then AC things: writing month's write up, archiving the threads, sending in the emotion ones, bonus AC updating inventory what have you
as always, if you want to continue a thread we have just hit me up any time, i get sidetracked and forgetful easily

i still wanna continue our festival one
yissssss to both
sara festival one i've replied to, i'll pull the soup one up forward
thread tracker updated, time for AC
cutting it just a little fine, whoof
> That thread also made him question his motives for working on his own AI for Nene in the event of his death, so work on that has come to a halt.
HE WAS WHAT
sfdgf yeah i was being cagey about it but now that he's questioning it there isn't really a reason to hide i
i'm glad ranger could accidentally make him stop working on something that he probably shouldn't have been making
nene's words about not having anything left of someone really stuck
sfdgfh ikr, i love it so much
cries tho im just. imagining nene walking around with a tiny chibi persacom shin ala chobits now
dfdgfsdfd sorry about that
yesssss
something like this lad
bc let's face it, when making yourself from the ground up, there's going to be the temptation to make changes...
nene deserves the best possible version* of him
* may contain biases about what 'best' is
anyway nothing like being told/realising you are the self insert of the guy who set up the killing game and created dolls out of eerily similar motives to pour a bucket of cold water over u
thank god for ranger :' )
also made him realise it's kind of not a great thing to make a person for... he might end up reworking the idea into something less alive/him but for now... hot stove
ohhhh shit yeah that would change a lot of things woudlnt it
it would :''' ) took quite a lot not to snap in the middle of the workshop
(can i get a link to this thread it sounds Spicy)
thank god for ranger indeed goodness gracious... that's what he's here for though, to remind you all of how terrible asunaro is and why you should not be like even one of them
gosh that was such a good thread too
dsfdgsdfd shin thiiiiiiiis close to becoming an Asunaro
ranger you're doing great sweetie
and yessssss i had a lot of fun with that one
oh amity i should link the memorandum shin found for context
so this + finding out asunaro was founded to 'bring back the dead'.....
there's still things to do; update the inventory page, go back through threads and figure out where emotions gained merit points, but that's all the urgent stuff done and I've got other things need doing today so I'll leave it there for now
walks in here bc I saw ur bonus ac
i just realised his uniform would come with his nametag so there's that too :' )
yisss
if i get the kotatsu this month i'll get the plush rabbit next
:3 YESSSS cannot wait for him to be in his retail fit
kotatsu > plush rabbit > not penguin thing
you know it
gonna try get the penguins as a set
and then the token wallet
fdgfhgfg he'll realise he needs to wash his other clothes and be regret.jpg bc that thing has short sleeves
shin's growing plush collection
first he gets an apartment (dorm)... then work... he's back in busines
IKR
sfdgfhg there are so many plushes in Moon 1 rn, sara was cleaning the culture festival out
that protag minigame power man
i feel like she should be universally reviled for realizing there were a limited number of sewing club prizes and then deciding she wanted to win most of them
keep protagonists out of minigames 1999
i just realised in all of the art i've seen people do of retail shin there's been uniaminous agreement the stripes are blue when we only have monochrome depictions
ADSFDGFFD SARA LEAVE SOME FOR OTHERS
thinks back to all the evil shin colourswaps
blue IS his colour though.... it suits him
sits bolt upright wait should have asked for his canon culture festival outfit...... next month
honestly the shin ai for nene is both sweet and heartbreaking and a lil fucked!! love it honestly, im not gonna stop thinking about it
ikr... the yttd mood honestly
'don't leave me' 'i won't' :' )
there's just a half-done skeletal structure for it on his laptop rn... getting a good look at ranger's code was going to be next step for completing it... then probably checking in with ori to see how to go about it |
but i'm honestly very glad events went like this
WEH, I DIDNT EVEN THINK OF THAT--
lessee... she mentioned it august and he got the laptop 12th september, so it'd been percolating since one and worked on since the other... although most of his resources were going towards rei
:' ) he's the sort of person where things leave impressions and then he sits on them
and then etc a week and a half later he's bringing sidney breakfast in bed and yelling at him
sidney like 'what if we dont yell at the newly one-armed man'
he sees you honking and he would also like to not be doing what he is doing
god tho what a plotline to sit on so secretly!!!!!
hehehe i wasn't sure if I should be sitting on it secretly honestly, but the whole thing with redacted made it feel like it had precedent
in hindsight should have made plans to discuss with ori earlier maybe but i wanted to see if i had something first
ikrrrr
'sweet and heartbreaking and a lil fucked' really does sum it up
