Ramblings Of An Untitled Idiot

I've been a passive lurker in the fandom for a bit, since the first one came out actually, I've just never given myself the time to actually sit down and watch it all.

And now I get a lot of the references people put in their art now!

I honestly understand a need for a cope AU now, omg D3rlord please

Over the combined about 3-some-odd hours I watched, it is a perfect little self-contained story, and I'd have it no other way. I love it, as much as I crave more from these two. If Wifies ever makes more with these two I'll be so happy, or if he decides to make more un-fiction I'd be more than on board to watch.

I guess fanfic will fill the void of needing more doomed yaoi in my life, there's PLEANTY of it I've seen

I've always loved the trope or at least the one instance I saw of D3rlord seeing all the beauty of the universe and still choosing Avery as the most beautiful of it all. Not to mention, the fact that D3r knew all about Avery, while Avery knew next to NOTHING about D3r and still decided to go after him. It's touching, maybe even an idea I'd steal for my own characters or a future fanfic for these two. I'm gonna need my own cope AU I swear--

If Wifies ever wants to cash in on the hype, bro should dub fan creations. Like maybe take some comics where they aren't too yaoi-ful (I don't know exactly his stance on their relationship, but it's clear they're at least friends in cannon, no matter how technically short that friendship is). Maybe even as a joke do a yaoi-ful one, idk that's the type of thing I'd do with my friends if something of mine ever got popular.

Idk I'm rambling again, but these are just my thoughts on the whole thing.

ALSO for D3r's final line, I was watching back through ep 1 and that mf threw in an ass in the book and censored it while reading it out and it has BUGGED ME that Wifies said he doesn't really swear on the channel like VRO just do "You fucking moron" But censor the fucking! it's still impactful ESPECIALLY when you've already censored a curse word before for emphasis. idk that just bugged me a lot when I saw clips of behind the scenes and then rewatched the first. Maybe he's got an explanation or something.

That's not to say it dampens it at all; in fact, I love it either way. He could've put frickin and I would've giggled and then ungiggled because oh shit, D3r is dead

The sets were beautifully made, and it kept me on the edge of my seat at all times despite already knowing how it would end. I was genuinely captivated the entire time even if it took me forever to actually get through thanks to my classes. I think it's something worth rewatching and re-enjoying. There's a few blink and you'll miss it moments that get pointed out later.

I really like how the storytelling aspect took a backseat in favor of actually showing said story, the first episode had a "Oh I just found this weird thing" type vibe, where it's actually portrayed as being found footage (for lack of better terms) whereas the second episode took a more narrative approach, instead of theory crafting or puzzle solving mid video it lets the characters do it instead. Maybe I'm just bias but I love it when a story can feel more immersive, where you can suspend your disbelief for a moment and immerse yourself in the story as if it's unfolding right in front of you. The voice acting is what really sold me on that front.

Overall, I think it's a story I'll come back to from time to time. Maybe even watch while pausing every five seconds just to see if I can spot the clues before they're called out.
