I’m noticing that between all Dark Choco’s designs, the red fade is only in the Kingdom one. Why is that?
I mean at first you could say it was just a slight design update for Kingdom, but then in ToA there’s no fade. I mean maybe they just decided “you know what, it doesn’t work, let’s take it out”, but it’s still odd
Is there a lore reason for the red? I mean the only other connection I can make is that presumably, Kingdom is the only game in which Dark Cacao, or at least the one we know, is his father, since I don’t think the Ancients exist in the lore of the other games. But Cacao doesn’t have a red fade, so I don’t know what that would mean

while I think yu is a breath of fresh air i do worry that the magireco might lean into being too dark with her. Like with the placement of her soul gem. It probably fits thematically with her story and the event story but also like…it gives me the same feeling as magical girl anime that are pure shock value with no substance. And it’s probably completely unjustified but I’ve been feeling that way about everything yu, from her list, to how she takes organs. Like it’s not horrible but it’s just on that cusp of being dark with no substance for me.

It’s very interesting seeing the contrasts between watching The Monkees as a kid, and watching The Monkees being the age of Mike, Peter, Micky, and Davy in the show.
I’m trying to do a lot of the kinds of things The Monkees are: paying rent, getting money, getting food, and for me, the added struggle of being an autistic person while navigating the crazy social and financial time we’re in.
It’s been a comfort being back into this show, getting to grow with the boys in a different way than I did when I was eight or nine. Seeing them going through similar things as I am gives that sort of little adulthood crutch on top of the kiddiness of it all. They don’t always get what they need to right, but hey, peace not war, and money is the root of all evil, right?
Anyway, all four Monkees are neurodivergent, and I can project myself and all of my struggles onto their little polycule, because I’ve grown up watching 60s television, and nothing and nobody can stop me. I’ll dress like Peter Tork and sing the Gilligan’s Island theme song with Scooby Doo on in the background like I’m eight again, using my childhood and my new self in tandem because isn’t that just how it needs to be sometimes?
The show makes me feel good, like i’m not alone in it all, y know? Like my friends are still there, these four crazy boys i’ve known basically all my life. They’re some of the characters who helped me through all the crazy shit I went through as a kid, who I could escape with in my head into all their little antics and love for the world and each other.
And if we look from the logic of the 1997 reunion special, that show could still be going on somewhere, and I think it’s going on through all of us.
Anyways, that’s all. Just thinking about this a lot recently. I really do love The Monkees.

Can’t stop thinking about how Midnight Rain is the sequel to Champagne Problems.
