#twitter bs

Finally!

(translation below)

*takes deep, infuriated breath.*

Sometimes I understand why people avoid the fandom.

Anon, please explain why you are happy to continue to use twitter/X? By using it, even with a free account, you are supporting Elon Musk through ad revenue. You are contributing to a nazi and to all the hate in this fandom and all the constant hate in general that is on that platform. People on tumblr who support hudcon are not the same as whoever the fuck is still using twitter/X. We don’t care about them and they aren’t the same as people on here. But you anon, have some explaining to do. (But I’m guessing you don’t have any explanation because you’re probably just an idiot who is happy to support Elon Musk which says a lot about you!)

Hiii

I don’t have much to say except nothing on this planet would make me ever redownload Twitter. They don’t suffer my loss and I don’t suffer that cesspool of an echo chamber platform…

If the world’s survival depended on me redownloading it, yall just say your goodbyes 🤪

Sooo like..your boy was scrolling through Twitter..like an idiot, and got caught up in reading people complaining about strives look and character design n shit and just..did they not like...idfk play the game?! Like I'd get it if it's about the damage or gaining an insane amount of meter off of blocking and being passive, or yk just season 4 in general (I still love you dizzy but wholy fuck when u dropped I wanted to kms) but it's the art style and the direction he went with strive this time... And the way everyone talks about the change is just all "oh he selled out" and dumb shit like that but that just doesn't really make sense to me ig... Cus like thematically there design changes make sense to me. At the start, the games following the original story was dark&weird, and everyone had so many fucking issues (both mental and physical) , so their designs were edgy and dark while still having some life in them, and it made sense for everything that was going on! But in strive, everyone kinda has their shit together.

Sol has jack-o and at the end of strives story, he gets it through her head that he loves her for her and not just the fact that she was a version of his (sorta) dead wife, he stops being the flame of corruption do to asuka [that man for those of you who've only played the older games] and has come to love himself.

Ky steps down from being king, and starts relaxing more, hell that was the blatant reason for his deign that HE says in game! He's no longer the king, why does he need to dress like that anymore! He's trying to relax, love his wife, and be an actual father for once to his son! That he had to give up to protect!! Yes their relationship is still rocky but ky&sin openly care for each other now, and have actual father and son conversations!

The old cast story is over. It generally is. Yes there are still unexplained things, mysteries to be explored and more, but that isn't the older cast story, that's the worlds.

Fuck even in the second dlc story we got, it was about baiken being a basically adoptive mother to Delilah, and giving up on her revenge for not just herself but for the girl shes now basically raising!

Zato is still edgy and that's cus he's dealing with the aftermath of literally being dead! And milia is dealing with self hate, lingering love, and desperate redemption. Fuck the two people who I think still have that edge or people who also need more exploring (aka Leo and pot) Leo for his PTSD and extreme survivors guilt that leads him to rash suicidal fighting and pot, cus well.. idfk I just wanna see him get bigger.

With dual rulers dropping it's becoming apparent that the next generation are the main characters. (Specifically Sin here ngl-) And they aren't born into a world as dark as theain cast, Sin has solved most of his emotional baggage with ky, and is generally a very happy kid, ramlethal is just chill tbh- elphelt (I forgot how to spell her name) is romance obsessed and is chilling, fuck even new characters are mostly chill (i.e the biggest Leo simp giovanna, who's theme song is just her chilling and saying she's got her shit worked out, girl probably has a therapist too) fuck the most interesting character to me is goldlewis cus we don't know much about him. (Giovanna too but yk-)

Needless to say all of this huge thing just boils down to one understand, the main characters have changed, and the world is changing, I personally think that this change in style is very thematic to this change. But I do understand that some people just don't like it, for the sake of not liking it. Though please be kind, and don't call the creator a sell out for making changes.

Thank you for reading this stupid rant! I really should be typing out that fanfic instead, I promised 11000 words out the first chapter and it took me a week to type 1000 T^T

(edit- I reread this to check for errors so here's a little bit more while I'm here)
