Messengers of the End

I hate those shitty bromances because it’s just regular friendship bloated by fanservice. Like men can’t have emotional intimacy without it being coded as something else.

(screenshot from shipping wiki jv) anyone who resisted viktor's conversion, and whom viktor actually killed without even turning into a puppet because he couldn't control them, kept their facial features. jayce’s visible facial features just show that he fought the transformation and that’s exactly why he died, like the others, instead of becoming one of viktor’s living puppets

(ep7 s2)

there were also certain characters i liked where i admired them on a "i want to look like them/have their style/etc" level. but everything else just isn't for me.

tried paralives today, made viktor in it, unfortunately there was no matching hair and i couldn't find how to shrink the forehead… which turned into a huge problem… after checking every single setting it seems the forehead is tied to the base template, so i just gave up on that

also turns out Technology isn't Engineering but programming, and Science is just Astronomy. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE HIM AN ENGINEER

anyway i love the art style, in the sims you can only get this with a ton of mods, just the aesthetic itself i mean, it's early access and i don't even know if the game has mods yet

my Obscura LI tier list

Cirrus is my number one so far. He has EVERYTHING going for him: the design, the personality, the whole religious storyline. He’s perfect to me. I love manipulative characters so bad. Also the music in his route was so good it actually made me buy the game OST

Oleander’s route was almost perfect if it wasn’t for his connection with Keir. I really didn’t like Keir, but beyond that I also just don’t like when LIs have/had sexual or romantic history with each other. Otherwise I’d probably put him in S tier. His storyline is genuinely really interesting and layered though. His route expands on the worldbuilding way more, while Cirrus’s route feels very isolated within the church stuff which makes sense tbh.

Francesco is completely not my type, but I still think his storyline is interesting enough to play purely for the story itself rather than for him as a character. I also don’t really like how the MC’s behavior changes around him… I think I could’ve understood Francesco more if he wasn’t so naive. Like there are characters I wanna kiss and then there are characters where it’s like “he’s literally me,” and I think Francesco could’ve been that kind of character for me, but he’s too naive and kind for that.
