I made a thing
Echo is an amazing novel but I’ve never gone back to re-read its routes.
A lot of the time when I really enjoy a piece of fiction I’ll read it over and over again to ferret out all the little details or just enjoy the story that it depicts but for this game I can’t bring myself to read it again in its entirety. Its an expertly crafted narrative with such fully fleshed multidimensional characters and it even utilizes the medium its written in to contribute to its themes but despite all that I haven’t gone back to read it again despite the fact it lives rent free in my head.
And I think its because the entire story is just so damn bleak. Once you go through all the routes you just know that nothing good can come from here so why would I ever re-visit it in its entirety. Sure there are some nice moments here and there but they are all tainted by the knowledge that you the player has about how totally fucked each and every character is. Sure there is a veneer of polite friendless at times but in a different timeline, if you made a few different choices, these characters might hate each other, they might even kill each other. This ‘friend group, has so much history and so many unresolved issues that seeing them interact normally feels almost more weird then seeing them at each others throats.
Echo is an stunning game with a thrilling narrative, but I don’t know if I’m ever going to read it again myself.
there was something else down there
The Smoke Room x Nekojirou (Cat Soup) featuring Sam, Blithe and Yao!
It's been weeks and I'm still thinking about Samuel lying to himself about how he feels about being carried around if he accepts Nik's proposal. Like it's such a small thing to focus on but it feels like a very specific tell if you remember Sam's thoughts on it during nik's first chapter. Even if it's only temporary I can hardly stand turning him down, and now I'm fretting over it being the only way to get even a shadow of a good ending for the route, I am not well😭😭 Nik's story feel like *the* most fraught route (though Murdoch's right up there too) and every choice feels so important. I just want my big guy to be happy, this game gets me in my feels so bad it's crazy. I need an update on every route asap but nik's especially, I'm going to be completely on edge until I get some sort of resolution for his story, it's become so important for me

First day at winter job
Fortunately I didn’t have to take any orders
i need to stop consuming content
otherwise i will be forever stuck in the cycle of trying to make fanart
but never finishing it because i start making fanart for new content i just consumed
and then the cycle begins anew
The fact that Philip Bonecrunch has a name implies that the Nowhere King named at least some of the minotaurs
this is entrapment
Just a little doodle of how i imagine tokoyami and dark shadow would react if they knew what tumblr was.
That being said, Happy Birthday Tokoyami/Dark Shadow!!
