Spring and Summer 2022

Penpal


It's been so fun writing letters to my friend and decorating it! And getting letters from her!
I watched a lot of penpal videos on Youtube and it looked so relaxing so I sent letters, around Christmas, to four of my friends hoping they would send one back. I also didn't want them to feel any pressure so I never asked for them to send any back, I just asked if they ever had a penpal before and that I used to in grade school. Hoping that was a big enough clue to write back if they wanted. 
It's so fun!


Elden Ring

I love how there are a lot of bosses that you can just escape from and come to back later. It doesn't lock you into an area every time. It also doesn't become a dead end where you can't do anything else until you beat the story boss. There are so many other locations you can explore before having to continue with the story bosses.

I just wish the were WAY more stylish armor and clothing.


Better Call Saul


Best show of the year. Ended so satisfying.


The Walking Dead S11

My new favorite character! 
(I couldn't find a good video of the moment I loved so I made one! Click here to see it.)

Reminds me of Lalo from Better Call Saul with how he smiles at his enemies. 
(He looks like Saul though lol)


Snow White with the Red Hair manga


This is fan art of it and I can't find who made it. It was uploaded by someone random, not the artist.
I wish this was real. I'm only reading this manga for these two characters. Any moments they have alone, I'm happy. But it's wholesome and friendly... 

This is the first time I really want a love triangle in a love story because I love him and the main guy for her. They both are good men. 

I wish Obi and her would have a secret relationship while Zen takes his time to be official with her. It's not that type of story though, it's very innocent. Which I find frustrating lol I wish this was made here so that it would be that type of story. 

I'm just sick of manga and anime not going past kissing in their love stories.


Andromeda Six


It's the only Dating Sim game I REALLY like. I love how there are 2 ways to flirt. Instead of other games where it only gives you one style of flirting with a character. If you're character is shy, you can let a character know you like them in a shy way. But if you're a smooth talker, there's an option to flirt that way too. 

The only thing bad about it is this story treats sex like it's a special and sacred thing like other games do. Games think sex needs to be saved for the last mission or if you're truly in love with each other. I wish there were options to have casual sex. It doesn't need to be a 18+ rating and show the characters fucking but at least show them in bed after sex and talking. Or just have them mention it the next time they see each other. It's my only complaint.


The Boys


I can't believe it took me so long to watch this show! But it's good I did because I was able to marathon all three seasons without having to wait. I love that it makes fun of DC and Marvel comic/movie series. I love how dark and realistic this world is if superhumans were real.

Also, Maeve's attitude towards Hughie, I get it. LOL I get it and I agree with her.


Stranger Things S4


A Nightmare on Elm Street and Hellraiser feel in this season! I loved it! I used to love those movies when I was little but they are very dated, not as scary as I remember. So, it was nice seeing a updated version of those two movie series together. This show is very entertaining. 

A part of me wishes it wasn't made for a child audience because I want to see how dark it could get. A lot of characters have plot armor but over all, it's a really good show.


Dragon Age Origins 


I replayed this game after watching someone else play it. Just got in the mood and I'm sad I can't replay the 2nd game because I only have it for PS3 and my PS3 doesn't work anymore... but I'm excited to reply the 3rd game! It's been a while. 

(Zervan is the best romance in the game because it can feel casual or serious. The other relationships just feel like one or the other.)


Violating Community Guidelines podcast


It's funny. The only thing annoying is they both act like being in your late 20s is old. 
And they don't like anime or video games. Like, they look down on that part of nerd culture. Luckily, they don't bring it up much.


Stardew Valley


I heard so much about this game but I was never in the mood. I finally played it and I love it. It's a good time waster. And playing with my husband is really fun! 


Alan Wake


I can't believe it took me so long to check out this game. It's so good! I'm so into this type of stuff. I watched a No Commentary playthrough instead of buying it but I can't wait to get this game once it's on sale!

(Spoiler Alert)
Also, I loved the ending to the main game, I didn't take it as a big cliffhanger. I took it as the ending. Him living in a "hell" forever in exchange for his wife and the town being safe.

And the ending to the DLC I feel the same. It was a good ending where I don't expect a second game. But I am happy there is one. So excited!


Ghost of Tsushima


Was finally able to see this story finish! I didn't buy it because I don't have the money to buy every single game that comes out. I was watching someone play it but they stopped uploading then over a year later I watched someone else play it and I loved it. I think it was worth the wait. Loved the story! 

The person playing it was AGirlAndAGame. I really recommend her. She just plays the game and doesn't try to be funny. She doesn't talk over dialogue, she pays attention. 


Stray


I loved it. Worth the full price. Super chill, exploration game.
It's an indie game that looks like a triple-A game.


Never Have I Ever S3

I'm not going to spoil anything for S3 so here's a clip from S1.
I love this couple. I love the mom in the show. 

Main character's friends grew on me in S2 but I still hate Ben's character. He's so fucking annoying. But I do like his moments with Paxton in S3. He just seems like the only character that doesn't develop around the main character. The others improve their relationship with her but not him. He'll always be her "rival." 


Law and Order shows


I love these two characters so much. These shows are a treat.


Cottagecore and Van Life


I got really into a youtube channel because she did a winter vlog with no talking in a cabin in the woods. I watched more and seen she used to do a lot of Van Life videos before she owned the cabins.
Obviously, the Van Life is relaxing but I think I really liked it because of her. 

I tried watching other Van Life/Cottagecore Yotubers but they seem so fake and don't admit they are privileged. While Hannah does. 


Bad stuff:

We are OFK is a waste of money. The character development is bad and last minute. The story wastes so much time on is useless cat character than dealing with character problems. It's a pretty game and a better style to do visual novels than the usual style but it's wasted on this simple, boring story. The characters were written to be "relatable" to young adults instead of being written to be realistic.

The flaky group gets upset with one friend for getting a good job and leaving them but they're unstable, anyone would be stupid to put all their eggs in that basket. None of them (but Jey) can just shut up and be professional. They are always so whiny, cracking jokes and talking about future androids than actually working. Jey should've stayed away after being ignored by them. She should've quit her job and got a different one without begging to be in their friend group again. It was so pathetic how the writers forced her to go back to them. 


Cyberbang 69 was a big disappointment. It's a misleading name. I talk about why here.


Ozark's ending was so bad. Looking at Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul tells me it doesn't take much to have a satisfying ending. Just give us character reactions of what they just did instead of quickly cutting to black and missing out on their reactions.
But the writers wanted to go edgy. And wanted it open just in case they want to do more with this series in the future.

I hated it. I get it but I hate it.


Game of Thrones thinking the throne is more important as the "final boss" than The Night King.... Dragon Age Origins did it better.

Am I in the minority?

 When people say they can never imagine killing someone no matter how angry they are at them or how much they hate them, I find that hard to believe. 

It's so normal for me to imagine killing someone I hate. I thought it was normal for everyone else too with how much they say they want certain characters to die on tv shows and movies. So, I just thought that meant that imagining killing people was normal. 

But I don't think I can actually killing someone for real. While I have heard very few people say they can kill if they were pushed hard enough and I always thought they were the fucking psychos. 

But now that I find out that most people don't even daydream about killing others they hate, I'm wondering if that means I'm kinda just as bad as the people who are so sure they can actually kill someone. 

I want to know how do most people turn their brain off when wanting someone dead vs a character. Isn't the whole point of movies, shows, books and games is being immersed in that world and treating the characters as real people? So, while you are treating characters as people and cheer when the character you hate gets murdered, how do you not imagine and hope for the same with real life people you hate? 

A webcomic called, SEED, has the main character get bullied but when the AI tries to help them by injuring the bully, the main character becomes scared of the AI and worries for the bully. 

I can't relate to the fear they are feeling towards the AI. If I had an AI friend that hurt my bullies, I would feel protected and happy. Just like I would if it was a person hurting the bullies for me. 
So, that's kinda another topic about AIs and humans but I am wondering if the AI character were a human who beat up the bully, would the creator of SEED still have the main character feel scared of them then?

Or is this another reason I might be a psycho? That I would feel happy if a bully gets fucked up after picking on me with just words. 

Stranger Things has kid bullies in it that adult fans will cheer when they get injured. But they can't daydream about killing someone in real life that is worse than those tv bullies? 

It's so interesting to me and scary because I hope there's nothing wrong with me having violent thoughts.
I'm not over stressed or anything so it just feels normal because it's just thoughts. I never say them out loud. If I heard anyone saying their thoughts about killing someone, no matter how simplified, it would sound crazy. 

So, I'm happy to say, I have never said these imaginations out loud but maybe that's not enough. 

Maybe I need to work on not having these thoughts at all? How would I go about doing that? Be more spiritual? Take more relaxing baths?

Or are the people who say they don't have violent thoughts kidding themselves? Just wanting to seem morally correct?

My top favorite game trailers

1. The Witcher 3 - A Night to Remember

I love how it feels like a short film!


2. Observation

I'll be into almost any sci-fi horror with A.I.
This trailer does a good job making this story very interesting while not giving anything away.



3. Prey

A sci-fi horror that feels like a short film! 



4. Gwent: The Witcher Card Game - Area 

Another one that feels like a short film but as a "two-sentence horror story" type.



5. The Outer Worlds 2

This one is funny. It makes fun of other trailers while also fitting the tone for it's own game!



6. Dead Space 2

It's simple but changing the lyrics a little helps fit this game's tone and story so well.



7. Five Nights At Freddy's: Security Breach

Another two-sentence horror story trailer! (Too bad the game isn't as good as it's trailer...)

(Jump scare warning around 55 seconds!) 


8. Prey

Yes, the same game as number 3 but this trailer is different, showing gameplay. 
And with the female main character instead. 



9. Destiny 2

Another funny one. It shows two different characters giving a speech in their own styles.



10. Mass Effect 2 

I love this trailer because it shows that someone is looking for Shepard or keeping an eye on them and that they were killed, leaving fans to guess if it was by the Geth being shown. Because the words were showing up too fast for it to be someone typing, it was a big clue that what was being filled in was by the Geth. Plus, the N7 armor it was wearing and with the Geth being damaged, it fits that the screen was very glitchy with lots of static. 
Also, the possibility that Shepard's memories were inside that Geth is exciting to think about!



Honorable mention: The Witcher 3 - Killing Monsters

Same game as number 1 but showing Geralt killing different monsters.
Also, a short film feel.

I miss Moe Sucks dot com


 I'm sick of high school anime and manga series so I'll only check out josei instead of shoujo because I know those series usually aren't in high school. That makes me an elitist apparently.
Also, because of people like me, the shoujosei community is being divided. Uh...what?
 
Is it that much of a shock when the little girls who loved shoujo grew up, became women and got sick of high school stories? Josei is just an easier category to type in when searching for a series online with adult characters. It has nothing to do with looking down on shoujo. We are sick of ALL high school anime and manga series so that includes shonen. 

I'm not sorry if us saying we can't relate to teens pisses you off because it shouldn't. If someone said they couldn't relate to adult characters, I wouldn't give a fuck. I would just now know what to recommend and what not to recommend to them. No big deal.

We just find it easier to say we only like josei and not, "I like anime and manga series with main characters as adults." It's a mouthful so just saying "josei" gets the point across....but not with shoujo fans because josei is connected to shoujo. So, the fans think we are saying josei is better than shoujo.

Let me be clear, what we are really saying is josei is better than ALL high school series. HA! 
So you're all half right!

In all seriousness, I'm not saying I can only enjoy an anime if I relate to it. I like many series that I can't relate to at all. It's just nice when I CAN relate to the main characters instead of side or background characters. 

I'll still check out a high school anime/manga if a friend or someone I follow recommends it by saying, "If you're sick of this trope, this series avoids it." Or something among those lines to make me interested to see if I can like it. 

If I say I can't relate to teenagers then I'm hurting the shoujosei community by being an elitist...wow. 

~So many people agree with this tweet so it must be true~

There was a blog called Moe Sucks and I miss it. People can still go to it but it's not active. 
They would point out sexism and toxicity in anime. (And just dumb plot holes in general.) And it was really refreshing reading someone rant about the stuff I was sick of seeing in anime. I want to still love anime but as I get older, it's getting harder and harder when it's not aimed towards my age group as much. 

Even josei is not that great but it's better than high school anime! Ha Ha!

Imagine if Yes God Yes, Pen15, Never Have I Ever, Turning Red and Stranger Things were anime and manga series? I would love that! It's a more realistic representation of what it's like to be a teenager than what shoujo and shonen give me. 
From coming-of-age to comedy to fantasy to horror, these series held my interest despite having teenage main characters. If high schoolers in manga acted like they do in the series I listed, I wouldn't get sick of them. 

Shoujo staying away from sex and being horny is frustrating to me. It's okay to have casual violence in the story but not casual sex? 

Shonen and seinen will touch sexy topics but treat female characters like objects or just love interests.

And I know a lot of josei will say their characters are adults but will give them teenage mindsets. So there is a lot of josei I dropped because it's just not as mature as I would've liked it to be. 
Like I said, many of us josei fans are only calling ourselves fans because it's more simple than saying, "I like anime with main characters as adults."  

This goes into another topic of Japanese series and western series. But my main point is I'm getting more picky with anime and manga but josei is hanging onto me...for now. 

Plus, that tweet triggered me and I felt like ranting so thanks for reading.

Fall and winter 2021

You Season 3


I fucking love this show so much. It's so entertaining and how I wish anime would write their Yandere stories. If this show was an anime my life would be complete. SO excited for season 4!


Pen15 Season 2 part 2


This show reminds me of my first best friend and my cousin. It's such happy and funny memories. Can't wait for season 3!

The Matrix 4


This is my favorite Matrix movie. I'm not sorry about that statement. Excited for the next one!


Free Guy (small spoiler)


I love that this movie is like a comedy version of The Matrix and Ready Player One. I love the conversation about AIs being living beings. The only thing I didn't like was the forced relationship at the end because the writers weren't brave enough for the AI to stay in a relationship with a human. But other than that, it was great!

The Witcher novels 


I finally finished all the books and I gotta say, I'm happy The Witcher 3 game was my introduction to this series because the books can be so boring if I wasn't really into Geralt as a character. Anytime a section wasn't about Geralt or Ciri, I would skim the pages until they showed up. The other characters are not interesting enough for me to read them having long interactions with other side characters.
Either way, I'm glad I finished reading these because I love knowing everything that Geralt and Ciri has gone through. And the only reason Ciri is likable is 100% because of The Witcher 3. Ciri is such a great character ONLY in that game. In the books and Netflix show, she's just an annoying kid.

The Witcher manga


It's so beautiful and I love it.

You


I love the show and I had to check out the books once I learned that they go a different direction with the story. I like the main character in both versions but I don't like anyone else in the books. They are so unlikeable that I'm hoping he kills them all. But in the show, I feel bad for the other characters.
It's a fun read for me, either way.

Disco Elysium

It was really funny trying to get some kind of reaction from Kim. It wasn't just the humor that made me love this game, I was actually interested in the mystery. I would love to see another game of these characters doing another assignment together.  


Dead by Daylight


I can't remember why I choose to play this game but once I did, I couldn't stop. It's so addicting and I LOVE the fact that there is no voice chat. I hope it stays that way. 


Cyberpunk 2077


It was so fun doing another playthrough and seeing everything that was added and how much better everything looked! The game is actually beautiful now. Can't wait to see what more they add to this game.


Mass Effect Legendary Edition


I've been having so much fun watching blind playthoughs of this game. It's the closest way to getting to relive the experience of when I played it for the first time. Plus, it's bringing new fans to Mass Effect Andromeda, I'm happy seeing it get so much love. (I hope ME5 is Mass Effect Andromeda 2 but an older Liara is there now.)

Bad stuff

However...the thing that sucks about these blind playthroughs is after choosing the Red ending as their favorite, they can't help themselves of ripping apart the other endings just to fool themselves into thinking that they had "no other choice" but to pick with Red ending. Plus, all they need is to see that anyone agrees with them and they take it as validation that they are "right" to assume that the Red ending is the only "canon" ending. ~Because if their chat says so then it much be true.~

It's truly something to see these Youtubers/gamers be so open minded and think about the other side's point of views throughout the whole series UNTIL the endings. They all can't seem to have an open mind about why the Red ending isn't the "best" out come and why it's the color red. Mass Effect as shown what it thinks of the color red but they all seem to forget that. 

Lots of players who can't be mean in video games always want a happy ending in the games they love but when Mass Effect gives them that happy ending they don't "trust" it. So, I say all video games should only have dark and sad endings from now on. Every game should end like the Little Nightmares games and just laugh in the faces of goody-goody gamers. 

The Mass Effect Legendary Edition should've had one ending and it should've been the Refusal ending. (I'm joking but how fucking funny would that be?! Seeing all the new fans so sad, wishing for a Green ending.)

Aggresuto Season 4 was kinda trash. It completely redid a character's development. Plus, everyone lives happily ever after in the last episode. Everything just goes right back to how it was. Like, season 4 didn't happen. What. Was. The. Point?

Robots are the perfect yandere

I love yandere characters and I want to love the series that they are in too but it has been hard to find one that I feel isn't written too over powered with plot armor. All the yandere characters I've seen in anime and manga have been written badly but I still stick with the whole series because of the little moments that shine. 

And then I found my favorite yandere in the show called, YOU! It has both a male and female yandere and I love how careful they both have to be vs yandere in anime are hardly ever challenged with jail time or losing a fight.

In anime, we all know nothing is going to stop the yandere but in the show (and the book), YOU, the yandere has to be more creative with their kills because they aren't big and strong vs in anime where they're just suddenly skilled with any weapon they hold or having all the time in the world to stalk and kill. In YOU, they have to work around their life schedules to plan kills and not look suspicious to others.  

I like the writing of the yandere better in YOU but I like the look of Japanese anime and would love if these two things can come together. 

So, I thought a fun way for anime to still stay in their box of clichés without annoying me is to just simply have their yandere characters be robots.


Viewers wont question why AIs are written to be powerful because it makes sense with everything being electronic, it would be easy for an artificial intelligence to take control of everything digital around you. 

Viewers wont question if a robot can win a fist fight ( I know some sci-fi series make their robots with cheaper materials like in Detroit: Become Human or made with organic bodies like in Westworld but for most series, robots are metal).

Viewers wont question how a Synthetic always has perfect aim or how they can know how to use any weapon with no military training. Because all they have to do is look up how to do something and then they can imitate the movement perfectly. Humans need to practice to be perfect. Robots do not. People try to not do the same mistake twice, synthetics can actually live by that.

Writing a over powered main yandere character is tolerable with an AI character vs a young teen human. 

I'm not saying every series HAS to be believable to be fun but I do like it more when a series puts in the effort to be believable. I'll still check out a yandere series no matter what but I've never rewatched/reread any until I found the series, YOU. And I want more yandere stories that I can come back to again and again. 

I get annoyed when a small teen girl wins every fight with every character in their world. I'm tired of anime making me roll my eyes but I wouldn't if that teenage girl was a robot instead. Explaining how she keeps winning and outsmarting everyone would be a dream for me. If a character is going to have so much plot armor, I want them to actually have the skills to earn that plot armor so it can be fun watching this yandere destroy anyone who gets in their way.


When a robot becomes obsessed with someone it would be easy for them to find out all the information they can on the person. AI's think (and communicate) at the speed of light so it takes them less than a second to look up everything you've ever posted online. Plus, robots are all by default, hacking experts. So, viewers wont question how they got certain information about their victim, it'll just make sense. 

Meanwhile in anime, the teenager just has hacking abilities or was lucky enough to know a hacking expert that will help them out... Please, I need writers to stop being so lazy with how human yandere's get shit done. Maybe step one should be to not have the yandere be a teenager if you want them to have all these skills!

Another thing that comes up with an anime yandere being obsessed with a person is they will question why they feel a certain way then they are around the person.
Stuff like:
"What is this feeling?"
"What is this new emotion?"
"Is this love?"
"I've never known love."

All that coming from a human always makes me laugh or cringe because in real life, people don't go all "a new emotion has been unlocked inside me!" It's like they are robots SO why not actually make those characters robots? Then it wouldn't be so stupid hearing them talk like that.

I know people do question if their love is real, in real life, but not like how anime portrays it. The way anime does it would work better coming from robots.

Human character: "Why did you use my armor to fix yourself?" 
AI character: "....no data available." 
(from Mass Effect 2)

Human character: "Since when do you rely on luck?" 
AI character: "I'm...not sure." 
(from Mass Effect: Andromeda)

I find it understandable when robots are confused when they suddenly act on emotion instead of logic. When human anime characters are confused, I find myself wishing they would get over it and move on with the plot. It's normal for people to think "Why was I so stupid?" or "Why the fuck did I do that?" but anime will have their character waste so much time thinking about it!

Anime just has their characters over analyzing their actions ALL THE TIME like a robot. Might as well just make them a robot! Robots over analyze everything and it's okay with me because it's what they do. AIs "grow" by learning as much as they can. They work out different simulations to see the best outcome for every situation they can think of. 

So, when robots are met with an outcome they never came across in their simulations, their confusion fits their character so well. When they try to think about what went "wrong" it's not stupid because it fits for them to react that way. 


Instead of trying to get the viewers to relate with an awkward human character (outcasts are overdone) who tries to connect with other people. It would feel easier to understand why a robot would have lots of awkward moments trying to connect with someone and fit in with people. 

In most sci-fi series, AIs have no emotion, they imitate emotion to relate with the person they are talking to or develop real emotion slowly over time. When they communicate with humans, they have to get used to idioms, sarcasm and rhetorical questions. Because they are so matter of factly, it makes sense for them to have many awkward moments with people. 

While anime is still trying to push the "this yandere character has no parents to teach them life skills" or "they have really bad parents so that's why they don't know how to deal with people!" 


Mood changes visible with eyes that anime loves to do, would work nicely with robotic characters. Now, these are just a tiny extra reason why robots would work better. I have no problem with anime changing animation on the characters eyes to show their different moods. It's the reason I like anime. It's something live dramas/live actions can't do. 




But an AI having obvious different "modes" for moods would work both in anime and live action.



Another thing I want to rant about is how the police are hardly used in anime stories. In one anime, it seems like the cops would be an issue for a yandere but the show made them so gullible and cowardly that they never showed up in the story again. It was really frustrating because I thought it was going to get exciting with the cops being an extra enemy but then they just weren't a problem anymore after 10 minutes...

I want a yandere anime story to have the police being a constant problem after the character has developed a pattern of murders. I want it to make sense why the character keeps getting away with it. I want to like HOW they are avoiding the police. I don't want the reason to be "simple luck" I want anime writers to put more thought into how and why the yandere is outsmarting them.


The best reason a synthetic character can avoid the police and any unwanted attention is because they can easily change "bodies" and forms and the sound of their voice. They can even instantly change locations by dumping their current body and digitally transferring to another that is miles away. 

Because AIs can communicate and think at the speed of light they can be in two (or a thousand) places at once. They can be talking to people around them in one area and be killing someone else in another while also looking up online for the best spots to go on dates. 

Robots would be the perfect psychopath in anime stories.


But lets say for whatever reason there is a robot character that can't or wont change bodies. If they are questioned by police, they would be calm, collected and have every answer planned out on the spot. Even when robots are on alert, their nervousness doesn't show.

Not that a human character can't be good at having a poker face and quick thinking but when every single anime gives their yandere this skill, it gets lazy. The writers might as well have a good reason for this boring skill and it should be that the character is a robot.


Also, since robots don't need sleep they have so much time to move around and hide their tracks or frame someone else for their crimes.

With anime, I find myself wondering how the hell the yandere found time to get information on someone and still have the energy to carry on their normal day when they were up all night stalking someone too. Make them a robot and I wont have to wonder anymore! 


Now lets talk about robots being able to have any shape and size to where there are many possibilities for stories to explore sex with their characters. Like how the show, Black Mirror does it. And the movie, Her. It's no secret that anime can get very perverted and it makes sense for yandere shows to be perverted. A main character being love sick for someone is going to have them thinking about ways to pleasure them.


Having the yandere be a robot in many different forms can be a fun way for the writers to create sexy and perverted situations. Even problematic ones. Which is what I want in a yandere show. I want the show to know it's NOT a love story. It's a twisted story about a character who has an unhealthy way of showing their love. Which is what the show, YOU does! 

Anime tires to be both a love story and a twisted story. But I wish they wouldn't do that. Don't try to give people a reason to root for the yandere. People either will root for them to win because they love villains OR they will watch waiting to see their downfall. Like horror movies, people are either watching for everyone to die or they want the killer to be stopped. Don't try to make the killer sympathetic! 

It's okay to show us their sad backstory so we know why they are the way they are but don't try to make us feel sorry for them. Just admit when something is problematic and embrace it. It's what I want out of a yandere character. They don't have to be a "good person" for me to like them. It's okay for people to like villains. Villains don't need to be redeemed!


It's fun when yandere characters have multiple personalities because it can add to the tension. There's lots of ways that TV shows will try to explain why the person has multiple personalities and for the most part, it's fine. Writers don't need to try so hard to make us believe it's possible because it's already so rare and hard to believe in real life, that when a show does it, we just let it go without much thought. Like, when characters get amnesia.

But it would be nice if the explanation actually made sense and can be something that is made interesting on why characters have two personalities. AIs can fuse together with other AIs and become one. Instantly gaining each other's memories and experiences. They become "greater" every time they gain more knowledge so fusing (or absorbing) another AI with itself is a fast way to gain so much all at once.

It could be a fun thing for a story to explore for their yandere characters. A way for a robot to get character development. Even a way for the yandere AI character to battle another AI character. 


Maybe a twisted, dark ending for a story can be that the AI finds a way to become one with their human obsession. The writers can make it the yandere's goal to fuse with people they consider special. Trying to achieve a final evolution in an aggressive way. Maybe it can be the yandere's last resort when the human character finds out all the robot has done and wants nothing to do with them anymore. 

The yandere's way of making the human stay with them forever.


Anyways, this blog post is just me explaining my wish list in full detail for a yandere character to be a robot because it's fucking easy to explain away a lot of bullshit.
(Can hack into accounts for unlimited income to answer questions like, "how can they afford all that stuff?" and "Where did they get that random weapon?")

Many people already get suspicious of AI characters in series for just being on screen. 
"Oh no, is that AI going to kill everyone later on?"
"Is that robot going to get hacked or something and go crazy?" 
"The machines are taking over and killing all humans! I know it!"
"It's voice sounds so creepy and evil."

So robots may as well be yandere characters and actually earn all that fucking suspicion.


Lastly, I want to talk about why I love the show, YOU so much. The yandere doesn't just stick to one obsession throughout the series, they move to a random one that just happens to be at the right place at the right time for them. And that's something anime doesn't do. I start to think, "is this yandere character actually interesting or is it only because everyone else in this anime are so boring?" 

YOU, switches up the characters in the yandere's life every season/book. It keeps it fresh and makes sense why characters haven't caught on to the yandere's crimes. 

It's fun to see a character have a pattern in who they "love" and who they kill. It makes it more twisted because we know the character is fooling themselves into thinking they can actually love someone.

While in anime, the story tries to have us believe it's real love just because they only ever had eyes for one person the whole time. And then it turns out the characters were childhood friends.... I'm sick of that being a reveal! 

Robot characters would fit right in with the anime world of perfect "Mary Sues". 
They can be in a world where everyone thinks they're human and are in for a surprise OR in a world were AIs are normal and they just think this one is friendly. 


And my life needs more male yandere characters!
