ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!BRING ON THE END!

maybe michinaga should try putting his zombie fingers in the barrel of geats' magnum pistol to stop the bullet

cannot move past the fact that geats canonically needs people to believe in him like tinker bell in order to be a god. and this is a good thing, even though it is effectively the same soul power drain as the dgp wish granting process, bc its only on geats' friends and he can arrive in their weakest moments.

ive added my editorialized version of michinaga to art fight if any of you are into that sort of thing

geats couldnt even commit to neon ambiguously ending up with a girl as a counter to how she was about to be arranged into a marriage at the beginning. genuinely how youre gonna follow up revice with less gay women. we call that LOSING!

the reason i was nervous to take the transfem michinaga angle was that it would be way worse in my mind to put a woman through all that. until i considered that would be part of michinaga's internal logic against claiming that identity.

i have put so much hours in at the Getting Mad At How Good Geats Could Have Been factory

we are literally never getting another show like build and i have to make peace with that

folks its shot for a broken glass/a fire for burning the undead thursday folks yes it issss so click on those if you like insane people

still not over how much neon got completely dropped narratively. like they literally just took her out of the show at one point bc they didnt want to resolve her character arc. and then when she came back she just didnt get a resolution, she just gets to hang out with her stalker who wants to take her away from everything she knows. what the fuck kind of story is that

im proud of several different parts of tmc, but i never feel like i can pull them out to show off, since my pride in the project comes from how thoroughly i tie everything together. it's an exercise in context, and what that does to a narrative. so theres no way to show off a single passage without explaining thirty other things going on

dipping back into my alchemy history interest has returned my mind to the greeeds. i cannot stop thinking about how they made ankh first, but he was too close to human for the alchemists' goals, so they kept going four more times until they finally made gamel, who acts purely in pursuit of pleasure/satisfaction and indeed is made with the most physically powerful animals. and in the end, the one who [last episode spoilers] is the middle and insect one, uva. i am so fascinated by the alchemical details of the greeeds which we will never receive any additional insight on.
