As A Cat Person, Shin, Reko, And Sara All Preferring Cats To Dogs Is So Cute. I Love Them So Much. My

members of my sara army i forgot in last post

my boyfriend and i have a tradition of watching dracula flow videos and just reciting them in the sweet little voice we gave kanna in our playthrough of yttd and sometimes i genuinely forget that she’s not an ancient gangster and i feel like the “hello kitty doesn’t like xanax” meme every time i do her route.

shin/his ai: no, don’t insert the card you found in the classroom! its a trap!!

the humble monitor:

sillies :p

being in the yttd fandom is so funny because i saw the most beautiful art of reko on twitter. so detailed it genuinely looked like a real life person and only had like ~150 likes scrolled two posts down and saw a quick sketch of shin tied up and it had double the likes 😭😭

made the first meme and then my bf said that it should be joe instead of shin. original:

nearly every yttd ship fits into this. too lazy to change the pronoun in the meme, and a lot of the bl/het ships are boring to me, so its mostly gl ships.

i dont think i ever posted this

random rant, but do q-taro fans exist yet or is it just me 😭😭 ? i really like yttd but haven’t been active in fandom since 2019-2020-ish. i started liking him after 2-1 when he finally took the last poison dart for gin in alice lives route and the main game solidified my love for his character. but back in those days, mfs HATED him to death istg 😭

like, no matter how much character development or redemption he got, people (especially on tiktok) only harped on him wanting to vote on the kids/nao in chapter one. fair reason to dislike him, but as reko said…man’s just a realist.

i always felt like it was unrealistic that people didn’t vote the kids off earlier (not that i wanted that). side tangent, but i feel like— in a way, keiji agreed with qtaro on that fact, but gets way less hate for it. despite being adamant about killing shin, he votes for kanna. i don’t know if he was moved by her desire to die for the betterment of the group and for both sara and shin or what his logic behind the vote was, but i could see it going two possible ways: either he casted the vote seeing losing kanna as a “punishment” for shin, or he just found her the least useful.

i thoroughly enjoyed q-taro’s character despite his flaws though. he is not a morally great person, but most of the people in the higher percentiles of survival aren’t. sara, in many circumstances/simulatuons, was the most ruthless out of all of them— hence her survival rate. keiji is cunning and manipulative, even willing to let others die simply to take burdens off his moral conscious. q-taro ranks just below the two.

i feel like some of (not all) the best plot twists in the game relied on q-taro. the token bad ending, the 2-2 card trades, the card placement in chapter 1, the end of the banquet.

and this may be a hot take, but his death was one of the most shattering to me. as soon as he had begun to trust his allies, let his guard down, and shed off some of that willingness to betray and sacrifice others… he was betrayed. and he couldn’t even find it in his heart to resent the person who stabbed him in the back.

and in the end, the man who was willing to sacrifice others willingly let himself be burned alive to save his allies. i think he’s one of the best characters in terms of development.

also, even his ai feeling he would be willing to die for gin :((

speaking of, gin, nao, and kanna really went through so much as the most vulnerable of the group. the shit those three have went through woulda turned any other character into a villian bro.
