A little ramble

Jokes aside from the bad writing and artwork from scm, I really enjoy just the concept of being. It's such a cozy game and its relaxing to play idc if its a powerpoint. The story is entertaining enough to keep the reader captivated most of the times.

I think why i resonate so much with it is despite me liking a lot of edgier and more mature media, scm is simple. It keeps the hint of eldritch gods and antiquity of mythology/studying the humanities and keeping it fun with the anime otome approach. Like I love scm because of the personalities of the gods interacting.

Sure the s1 and s2 gods are assholes at the beginning but regardless of the route it's a journey of healing. I played scm when i was just a kid (and forgot about it but as all kids do they hurt) and now as an adult i can play it again and go through my own journey of healing through my own trauma, and see it similarly characters going through the same process of learning and healing.

Characters who want to better themselves and be humbled of the reality of it. Healing is not a linear process, its super up and down. It's refreshing to see in some routes (not teo, teo is the exact opposite of this entire post) healthily heal like leon learning to control his powers and that you can love the little things just because.

Huedhaut realizing that spending the rest of eternity in grief is not ideal, and that he has to learn to move on, Scorpio learning to be nicer? to people and importantly himself, Ichthys's approach of getting rises out of people because he knows he'll be gone and realizing that he went too far, Zyglavis forgiving himself and learning a healthy way of conducting punishments, Tauxolouve learning to enjoy his life despite being a demigod, MC learning to be kind but take no shit. Partheno realizing that he can trust people and not to be ashamed of himself for being a demon, Dui learning to communicate as a system with the alters in his body and going forward. Like I would pay for a story of Dui having 1 good day bro. Let him go to a cafe in the morning and just enjoy a piece of cherry pie.

don't get me wrong the game communicates the story and message poorly but i'd like to think it's still there for people to enjoy with the mass of different characters

Just a reminder guys. :^)

I understand the "I will die for you" ship dynamic, but what about the "I will not let you die, I will not let myself die- we will, at any cost, survive" kind of couple?
