Setsuno, throwing a trash can into the room: ARRGGGGH!!
Hari: Setsuno! What the hell are you doing, man?!
Setsuno: It’s my villain character! I’m The Trash Man!!
Setsuno: I come out, and start throwing trash all over, all over the room!! Then I start eatin’ the garbage!! And then I pick up the trash can and I BASH THE OTHER GUY ON HEAD WITH IT!
Chisaki: Ok, so, change of plans. Hari, Irinaka, and myself will be the only ones getting villain names. Moving on…
Oh, just thought way too much about him all the time, nbd!
Really, though, writing character-driven stories is fun. So even if I can’t fit it all in a short friendsim route, I like digging into the established character designs/traits. I thought about how Tagora’s personality is informed by his extended zodiac traits, his upbringing, motivations, fears, alignments, etc.
All that while, like, having this image open in a tab to check when I needed inspiration. It’s about that balance, y’know?
Anyway, thanks, and I’m glad that uhhh showed through some for you??
This is worse. Looking at these you can tell they have no significant monetary value. They were confiscated as a fear tactic. Nothing more.
This picture breaks my heart everytime it appears in my dash. It’s a fear tactic, alright but—
The first one in the left corner: It’s a first communion rosary, and it’s not cheap.
The black one in the first line: That’s a widow rosary and it’s old.
The white one in the second line: is a commemoration rosary. It has a miniature picture in the round part. I haven’t seen that since the 70′s.
In the third line, multicolor one: It’s an Anima mundi, I have only seen those in the hands of Rosary ministery’s old ladies. The oldest ones are from the 80′s after Juan Pablo II came to Mexico for the first time. It’s one of the old ones, I know because the crucifixes are different.
The third one on the fourth line: Red and gold. The style is old, the metal is dark, that’s a 50′s rosary, probably a quinceañera one (or it’s maybe older, from the 40′s when the brides carried red roses with their offerings).
The fifth one on the fourth line: It’s a quinceañera rosary with Ignatius’s tear. The style is old and in my part of Mexico is orphan girls who used it. At least it was when I was young.
The third one of the fifth line: the blue one with the anchor. That one I have only seen in Veracruz and it doesn’t look new.
The fifth one on the fifth line: That’s a 90′s wedding rosary. Black and white patterns were popular on that date.
The fourth one on the last line: That’s a first communion rosary from the 30′s. It’s delicate and most probably silver.
The rest wrench my heart too, the humble everyday rosaries with wooden beads and knots. Those are cheap and bear the wear and tear of their user handling. But those I described are much more.
Those are mother’s rosaries.
Those are not just rosaries. Those are mementos, that’s the proof of their families stories. They are taking from them the only portable things they can carry to feel the connection to their families.
