Have you played the TTYD remake?

[down] A few times. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate definitely comes to find. There's stuff from so many video games in it, and to this day I don't think I've unlocked half of the collectibles in the game. Honestly, I'd even say it felt like a bit too much for me.

Tbh I never really hated his minigames in the original, but they did make them better in the remake.

Favorite fandom of all time, atm? Ik you have stuff listed in your profile, but what's the answer?

[down] You can only bring up the same trope in casual conversation with people who aren't constantly taking apart the media they watch so many times. Talking about everything you consume with opinions on how well they executed the tropes involved can be upsetting to the stomache of a casual observer.

In your introduction post, you mention:

felt like my social sphere irl isn't quite as interested in me ranting about foundational structures in media anymore

Could you elaborate what you meant by this?

[down] I've got one that's been buzzing on my brain for a couple of years by now:

The setting is outwardly a Standard Fantasy Setting: you've got your Space-Filling Empire (that recently got Balkanized), Background Magic Field powering arcane shenanigans, gods who actually do stuff, generic fantasy races like orcs and elves, ruins of unknown provenance, uncharted lands at the edges of the world, etc.

The twist is that this world is actually a living planet. Every ten thousand years or so, the planet consumes all civilization on its surface to sustain itself, leaving the survivors to rebuild for the next cycle of harvest. This would explain all of the generic fantasy elements:

  • Mana permeating the atmosphere? It's actually a byproduct of the planet's metabolism
  • Absurd amount of dangerous ruins? They were leftovers from previous cycles' civilizations, some of which are technologically advanced
  • The variety of intelligent races? Some of them evolved naturally or artificially during earlier cycles
  • Gods influencing mortals? They are actually entities born out of the planet's subconscious meant to ripen the current cycle for eventual harvest

I was thinking that the story would initially start in the political layer: conflicts between new nations trying to find common ground and how it impacts their people, before eventually delving deeper into the divine business of gods, and eventually revealing the grand truth about the setting itself.

Any theories about what Chapter Three of Deltarune will hold?

I watched a video ages ago theorizing Toriel and Asgore's separation and Asgore losing his job has something to do with whatever happened to Noelle's sister Dess, and tbh I'm sold on that idea until proven otherwise. I don't know if we'll find out for sure this chapter, though.

Of all the works you wish you could make pages for, which is the one you could make the best?

[down] It's singlehandedly both the main appeal of KH and the main thing that makes these games so cheesy. It's the juxtaposition of these wangsty Square Enix anime boys going on narmy rants about the All-Consuming Darkness... and also Cinderella is there too I guess. That's what makes this franchise so special to me and no doubt a bunch of other people.

TRE IS BACK 🤯 Welcome!

[up]Since you like Kingdom Hearts, what do you think of the Disney characters and how they're incorporated into the games?

As someone who hasn't played the games, I've heard some people say that the Disney characters are kind of gimmicky and don't really have a strong effect on the story, but I thought it would be interesting to ask someone who is a fan of the series.

[down]It's okay. I think you actually read my mind, because I have been thinking of ideas for cases lately. 😅 I've thought about writing them as fanfics, but it's kind of hard to put together an entire mystery like the ones in Ace Attorney. :P

One particular idea I've had is a case taking place at a pet shelter. I saw videos of this cat who can "speak" by pressing different buttons that each say a different word. I think it would be interesting to have a cat (or some other pet) that uses these buttons be a witness. That would be a fun testimony. :P

What's your favorite video game boss battle?

The final battle in Portal 2 is a long-standing favorite of mine.

[down] It started when I was 12 or so, with a video from a former YTP-maker that's now lost media. The video was a moving channel announcement, not much special behind it, but the music playing was Eple, which I would eventually catch onto around five years later through YouTube mentioning the song listed. From there, I discovered the rest of Melody A.M.

If you could live in the world of any video game, which one would you choose and why?

I think Animal Crossing would be the most practical choice for me, because there's no conflict, no violence, and no stress, just happiness. However, I'm still kind of interested in the worlds of Klonoa, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros., etc., even though those worlds have a bit more violence.

[down]Probably the Wii. It has a great library of games (including any GameCube game), plus it might help me get some exercise.

[down]I would go with the Homunculi. While there are several cool apostles, many of them are far more vile then the Homunculi, who are more sympathetic on average then the apostles, which gives them an advantage for me to choose them.
