I'm Feeling A Little Less Than Totes Chill Today.

More of The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy! There is so much plot happening right now. I've finished the Eva route, and I'm currently on the route in which Shouma calls us all to the classroom we originally woke up in in order to talk about his memories.



Diversity win: the robot forcing you to fight in his genocidal army has the biggest tits you've ever seen.

Takumi: Oh no, the enemy commander we brainwashed into murdering her own people has killed our commanding officer!
Takumi: Well, good thing she's got that out of her system and it's definitely fine to bring her onto the battlefield with us.
Takumi: OH NO SHOUMA

Eito helped us escape with Eva! Finally, our inexplicable faith in the all-time World's Most Traitorous Bastard champion is rewarded. (Eito has betrayed us, by my count, approximately seven times.)

When we were in the resistance camp with Eva:

Riona: I wonder what Eito's doing at this point.
Tem: Probably betraying someone. He loves that, that scamp.

The concept of the Eva route has interesting potential - Takumi falls in love with an enemy commander! - but it might ring more true if he and the enemy commander had had more than, what, four days' worth of conversations before Takumi devoted his life to her?

I've been contemplating whether I should attempt a 'Takumi obsessively visits Eito in the cage' fic, but the existence of a 'Takumi obsessively visits Eva in the cage' route makes me wonder whether Takumi actually does obsessively visit Eito in a route I haven't reached yet. I hope so.

It's interesting that Eito genuinely seems to lose his desire to destroy Takumi after Takumi spares him twice! There comes a point where he just can't hate us with the same fervour any more. He's even fighting on humanity's side when we return to the school. (I'd love to see how Eito reintegrates with the group after Takumi leaves with Eva.)

The fact that our memories were intentionally implanted into us immediately raises a lot of questions.

Tem: Why did they give Ima memories of being a child sex worker? Who signed off on that one?
Riona: And did they implant him with incestous desire for his sister?

They could have made these kids' pasts anything! And they gave Ima memories of being homeless, starving and forced to sell his body to support his sister, who he is in love with.

Of course, Ima's not the only one with a peculiar implanted past. 'Why did they make Kyoshika fuck her sword?' Tem demands. 'Why did they make Kurara insist on wearing a tomato on her head? They gave Eito memories of killing his own parents?'

Shouma: We're nothing but disposable soldiers created to fight humanity's war for them.
Tem: Why did they make you all so weird, then?? I have so many questions now that I know this was a choice!

Riona: We're all clones of Shion?
Tem: (with a very 'hey, remember you wrote about these characters having an orgy?' glance at me) We're all siblings!
Riona: Well, that doesn't mean we shouldn't all fuck. As Ima would insist.

What this means is that Shion is essentially everyone's father, despite Shion and Takumi clearly being in love. 'You know, it's bad form to be both someone's dad and their boyfriend,' I commented to Tem, just as Rei entered the room. Rei turned around and left.

Ima: So... Shion's our father, and we're all siblings?
Riona: Good news, Ima: you've got so many more siblings to get horny about.
Tem: You're welcome. They're never grateful, are they, kids these days?

Riona: How does Eito feel about us now? Knowing that we're not human?
Tem: That's the one upside of this: could we be boyfriends? I know we're also brothers, but, in these trying times, we shouldn't let that get in the way.

I find myself completely unsurprised that Kodaka has created a game in which basically every possible pairing is incest. The natural culmination of his writing career.

Riona: I'm really enjoying the thought of the desperate struggle antis will have to try to justify shipping anything in this game.
Tem: I'd particularly enjoy seeing people try to argue that the twins fucking is disgusting, but anyone else fucking is fine.

When Eito showed up on the battlefield:

Ima: You're not cosying up to us so you can betray us again, are you?
Riona and Tem, simultaneously: HE WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING
Tem: How could you make such an accusation, Ima? You're so distrustful! Just because of all the betrayals!



The experience of playing The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy feels a lot like playing a game, going 'well, I enjoyed that, but I feel there was more to be explored,' and then heading to AO3 and reading every fic that's been written for it. It's absolutely bizarre. I'm really enjoying it.
