My favourite thing about ssk is that how dusk/dawn coded they are. Chuuya was sort of in the 'light' ( ig sheep ) but now is the 'dark' ( port mafia) while dazai was in the 'dark' ( port mafia) but now is the 'light' ( ada). In bsd dawn and dusk are very important as usually conflicts are resolved then ( eg the guild war). This just plays into them being opposites yet complementing each other.
So you guys know s5 won't be coming this or tomorrow, the creator David said their still cooking
So it will be awhile

Help this poor Christian man... He proceeds to pray for like an hour straight.
After watching the movie for a second time, I have a much clearer view of Velvet and Veneer as antagonists and overall characters which is what I’ll be discussing today. Also spoilers for the movie obviously 🙃
Now for their main movement, they want to use Brozone musical talent to become rich and famous because they have no talent of their own. The interesting part about this movement is how both Velvet and Veneer go about this.
First Velvet, it’s clear that the fame and attention has gotten into her head that she’s willing to do anything to keep that even if that means torturing and potentially killing an innocent troll(s). She admits it herself she’d rather do that than actually work for her popularity
Now for Veneer, as iffy as I am with this term, he falls into a lot more morally grey area. He knows very well what he’s doing is wrong but continues to do it anyway, he enjoys the fame just as much as Vel does but, he questions if there’s another way to go about this. Deep down he doesn’t want to hurt anybody but, can’t bare to stand up to his sister cause he loves her that much
“It’s like I don’t even know who you are”
“Yeah you do, and you asked me to change anyway”
THIS right here sums up their relationship perfectly, not only did Vel try to change Ven but she changed herself. I truly don’t believe Vel is a bad sister nor person, she cares for her brother just as much as he does for her. But, like I said earlier the fame and popularity has gotten into her head so much that she doesn’t think about the consequences of her actions.
This is how you write an antagonist, this is how you get your audience to really think. You can’t just boil down them to “Velvet bad one, Veneer good one” they are layers to the two. Seeing both sides of “I’ll win at any cost” and “I want to win but, at what cost?”
Hey, you actually read this entire thread here have a cookie 🫴🏼🍪, anyway thanks a lot and follow for more bangers like this
