Doomed Yaoi

E

i always imagine it being on a cliffside at sunset in the gulch with a bunch of beautiful flowers (which bob put there), a nice picnic, 💖atmosphere✨

several things did go "wrong" but helmut thought the whole production and subsequent proposal was very sweet and cute

...and he had caught on to what bob was doing about halfway through anyways but was not acknowledging it so as to let bob have his moment.

helmut said yes as soon as bob knelt on the ground and bobs like LET ME GET THE BOX OUT !! 🥺

And it’s if the game thinks your choices are complete jokes.

Built the Duck Thrash Machine? Everyone in game will tell you directly It Sucks Bad, and even in chapter 2 it earns mockery in the form of unique dialog and Sucky Attacks (that actually act as healing along the lines of Giga Drain.. because it sucks HP, geddit..)

Give the ballgame prize to Berdly? Everyone in the room will question your life choices, including Ralsei, yet Berdly will briefly join your party like a mini-version of Flavio from Paper Mario TTYD (permanent Berdly glitch when?)

Tell Ralsei you're going to the festival with Berdly? He looks bemused and once again questions Kris's choice, only for them to double down rather loudly (I will die on the hill that this makes way more logical sense than Kris randomly screaming in shock and horror, when you consider how they react when they like or dislike player input in other instances... just saying...)

Even a certain Pirouette ACT in the Jevil battle will result in a "useless bird"... except considering the unpredictability of the fight, the little bird essentially lets you tire Jevil a bit without any major detriments such as screwing with your health or boosting Jevil’s attack.

It's meant to be a bit of a joke in the moment, and we're meant to think the Joke Option merely provides a Joke Reaction because Haha Funny Why Would You Choose That Lol... but I wonder if these really are all Joke Options and nothing more.
