That is really interesting.
I saw many picture that Vere being a god, so he can basicalyy do whatever he wants and that now everything is more of a fun time, something to keep going while being trapped.
So when we dont give him enough of entertaiment or make him angry - he wont take it.
But Vere being an image of a farmer ? Thats new
So I was discussing with my friend about Touchstarved theories and shit. Most of which I makeup for funsies. But one of which that I don’t really have a basis for that I just think is a fun thought involves Vere and his route in the demo.
So yes, if you haven’t played the demo yet, spoilers ahead.
As I was saying, in Vere’s route at the end you make a choice in which determines whether he lets you live or he kills you. And I say “let’s you live” because let’s be real, if he had really wanted to kill you he still would have and been on his merry way to go see that lute player (lutist??). But if you choose that option to “distract” him he just moves on and lets you go. Which I thought was strange. Until I thought about it some more.
So someone may have already pointed this out but I’m gonna say it anyways. It’s hinted at that at some point Vere may have been revered as a god. And to a certain extent, I think may have really formed his moral stance on things.
So I say all of that to say, that I think when Vere sees you choose the option to just give up in his head he likely believes he has a right to mercy kill you. Like when a farmer comes upon an animal so sickly or injured that the choice becomes would it be more cruel to let it live and suffer or should I kill it and end the suffering? So when we make the choice to give up, Vere is just the farmer pulling the trigger.
Hope that made sense, love yall byeeee~ 💕
How I imagined Princess. She looks a bit too normal for a soulless but I think my design is cute, hopefully. I made her be a pitbull because of the common misconception that they’re all horrible violent dogs, when they’re really not. In the game the Soulless were portrayed as ruthless killers, but when the MC met Princess and she’s just a silly little dog, uh yeah !! I lost my train of thought, but I hope that makes sense in why I made her be a pitbull. Also the lines are messy along her spine, those are the finger spine things that the soulless has. There’s also random cuts on her because I feel like she’d have those.
Guys I forgot she has six legs please add an extra pair of legs thank you
These two had my brain in a chokehold for like 3 months last year and this is how I decided to cope. take it. hold it in your hands if you dare
Say hi to Mhin&Merre!!
media literacy would automatically go up 100% if people knew how to consume stories without self-inserting themselves into the characters' shoes. "if i were him..." you're NOT. you may relate to his story, his past, his traits, his quirks, his identity but the moment you start treating the story accepting what you feel/think as what the character feels/thinks, you're misunderstanding the story.
