Just learned about garden path sentences.
They’re basically a literary prank– the sentence starts out in such a way that you think you know where it’s going, but the way it ends completely changes the meaning while still being a complete and logical sentence. Usually it deals with double meanings, or with words that can be multiple parts of speech, like nouns and verbs or nouns and adjectives.
So we get gems like
The old man the boat. (The old people are manning the boat)
The complex houses married and single soldiers and their families. (The apartment complex is home to both married and single soldiers, plus their families)
The prime number few. (People who are excellent are few in number.)
The cotton clothing is usually made of grows in Mississipi. (The cotton that clothing is made of)
The man who hunts ducks out on weekends. (As in he ducks out of his responsibilities)
We painted the wall with cracks. (The cracked wall is the one that was pained.)

Here is how the story goes: I find a half finished, sketchy comic I drew about these two and think ‘oh it’s kind of funny, let me finish this real quick ahah it shouldn’t take long’ fast forward literal hours of struggling to write/draw something I like that stays light hearted and doesn’t dwell in the more serious implications of the post game because I don’t want to ruin the vibe I had going on with my initial draft. Anyway. Just take it.

🌴 the hinata hajime’s DR2 experience: komaeda threatening his sexuality
+ hajime finally grows a backbone
from island mode and FTE komaeda seems pretty shy, i think he is really bold in DR2 because he knows hinata will never reciprocate. he’ll panic if hinata does reciprocate his flirting.

Imagine being Hajime in the Ultimate Talent Development Plan and having to deal with Nagito. This guy keeps following you around telling you how arrogant you are but also insulting himself. He refuses to cheer for you when you play basketball. You try to give him a handshake and he won’t let go. He tells you that you’re talentless. He’s in love with you.
