Butch Diarmuid is funny because it turns Sola-Ui into a sheltered rich girl from a conservative family who just found out that gay people exist.

Saber who lost to Diarmuid because she just found out that you can be trans AND happy is also funny.

never use this color on a wall you're going to be living with for a while, it looks okay at first but holy shit man

the problem with visual novels is that they are novels, but they are almost exclusively sold on video game distribution platforms, which means that they're novels being read by gamers who are by and large entirely unequipped to critique that medium

My job is literally in safety and emergency management and that phrase makes me break out in hives. Which is to say that you are entirely one million percent correct.

Alternatively by 'an easy job where they don't do much' what they mean is that they've got so much unwritten knowledge and experience stored up in their heads that they *genuinely believe* it's an easy low effort job and then leave you with a learning curve like a rocket launch and frantically spawning spreadsheets of all the shit they know off by heart

I suppose most people are more familiar with pet dogs than with falconry and therefore calling a dehumanized mech pilot a "hound" is more immediately evocative than calling it a "hawk," but you gotta admit the vibe of the handler as falconer and the pilots as their birds of prey absolutely slaps. If anyone ever does something like mechsploitation but with scifi fighter jets instead of giant robots, pleeeease call the pilots hawks

both rose salt's oprec and module story are her actually getting treated like a lovely sweet young girl who should get pampered like a little princess and hating it sooooooooooooooo so so so much. and she used to be upper class right, until her family fell on hard times and she got arrested for "stealing" the bracelet her abuela made for her and subsequently demoted to irredeemable criminal (at around 7 or 8 years old according to her files). so "being a rich pampered young princess" is something she insists she wants because it is something that was unjustly taken from her. but all the beautiful dresses and jewelry she buys with her operator salary she wears only once or twice at most before they go into her hoard of stuff she has just to have it, and she keeps trying out different lifestyles in different places and being unsatisfied with all of them despite the money and then turning her eye to a new place to strike it rich and live "the good life" for real this time, and she's still wearing her men's clothes. bestie you need to try this stuff called testosterone it'll blow your mind

i love how rose salt pretends to be a cute harmless little girl to scam people and most people don't buy it for a second but also when people do actually fall for it and treat her like a cute harmless little girl she hates it so much she runs away screaming
