Hey you ever think about The Characters so much to the point where

Tsumugi Shirogane is, at her core, a shitty storyteller. She carries a deep passion but a weak constructive mind for her work, and concerts her writing flaws with bravado and grandiose features in an attempt to distract her chosen audience from her poor strategy. She fills her work with references and callbacks to the history and media that inspired her so, but can never truly create her own work, so she attempts replication and cheap copycat work instead in the hopes that that core connection she felt will carry over. It's full of meaning not because she succeeded, but because she tried. She's a fangirl writing a love letter to her problematic fav, and she's failing spectacularly not from lack of effort, but lack of skill. She's pathetic. She's a total loser, and she knows it, but if people will care about this one thing that she made, just this one thing, it will all have been worth it. And that's why she accepts her death so solemnly, why she doesn't fight back, because despite her failure, she did manage to teach her victims the one thing she could never accept for herself- that their lives mattered regardless of what they provided for others. And that, to me, is why Tsumugi is so endearing not just as a mastermind, but as a character.
This is only half related to drv3 but as much as I agree with the media literacy meme sometimes it kinda annoys me when ppl are like "no media literacy" for deciding to not take a character that has been consistently shown as being an unreliable narrator at face value
I am generally a supporter of Doubting but I think the issue is more so that some people go "well this character has Lied before so Everything they say could be A Lie" while completly divorcing the scenes from the context and the facts that we do know. It's not easy to prove a negative, especially when it comes to emotions and things that we only know through hear-say, but we can compile evidence and make an educated guess (or rather an interpretation).
Still, a lot of things simply cannot be proven (beyond a reasonable doubt) so interpretation are gonna clash even if both proponents have actually used textual evidence. 🤷♀️
if you really think about it. it’s kind of sweet…?
in the soro cant stop making dumb oumota comics to procrastinate on work saga we are now 2 days away from my physics exam and 4 hours before my next physics hw deadline and 6 hours away from the chem hw after that but it’s okay
this was actually done in the midst of my chem hw instead of physics this time but the comic got too big so i had to move it to its own page…hopefully tumblr doesnt kill the quality like it did for the horse comic
