How would you describe the dynamic between seosane 🙏
they mean everything to me,, (receiving your question right after i got one that says "yaoi" was very fun for me. yeah thats my yaoi <3) Spoilers for the entire DLC, including whats past the youtube TL! I mention things from Hermit Room. quotes are paraphrased or referenced bc i am too lazy to dig for them.
I have another seosane essay somewhere in drafts but i can't find it rn and it's not edited so you're getting my current stream of consciousness <3
sanemitsu and seodore are two people who, by the end of dlc, have very different perspectives on how to handle the timeline and what should be done. Sanemitsu in particular goes through several perspectives on this, varying from his POV pre-1999, 1999-2015, S root, and S+. They are parallels and narrative foils, and this shapes how they interact with each other.
From their first interactions, they both have something that the other party wants. Seodore promises that Sanemitsu can change things, if they can reach Gods Love. Sanemitsu is critical to changing things (as we see in the start of DLC/S root). You can see them talk about this in record 4, where neither of them will know if Sanemitsu's ability has activated or taken effect. Seodore wants Sanemitsu to use this ability. Sanemitsu resists because he knows that if he changes the past, then he'll lose Reiji. Reiji, who is his number one priority, who he's clinging to as tight as he can.
But they appreciate each other. There's fondness. Their breakfast conversation at the end of DLC highlights that despite them ending up on different perspectives on the past, they still understand each other.
What always stands out to me is in Hermit room, there is a choice that the player can make. The two options are (paraphrased):
Even if we gained something at the end of it, it would have been better if none of it had happened. [better to change the past even if we gained something in the end]
If we gained something at the end of it, then we can't say that it would have been better that none of it had happened. [better that the past happens (good and bad), if we gained something in the end of it]
This choice is both paralleling Sanemitsu's perspective change in S vs S+, and the perspective of Seodore versus Sanemitsu (and System.NH) as two halves of the same whole. They're foils, and remain on good terms despite their differing POVs.
it's about the Metafiction. Sanemitsu doesn't break the fourth wall until after our current point in canon (System.NH is 2019 and also Outside the Timeline). Seodore breaks it ALL the time bc he Knows but doesnt SEE. Tangent but can you tell I really like the metafiction groups. I like System.NH + Seodore + Mutei, I think it's fun.
It's about the quiet things going on in the background. About blood, about factors, about inheritance. The contrast between the domesticity of daily life (seodore canonically makes him breakfast!). It's about "I'll take your hand, Seodore" (PARAPHRASING AGAIN) and things left unspoken. It's about what he says about Seodore in his journal from 1999. (see just before record 4. yt tl doesnt show us whats inside unfortunately).
Also it's SO good that they have other priorities than each other. They both know and are fully aware of this and it's so <33
This is why I like the intro scene to DLC so much too-- they both know that they're dying there. Even if this plan works, even if things change, even if the interaction between the Rainbow Factor Artifact (Malkuth) and Respawn means that there's a chance to save Reiji, then the selves that exist in this moment still die. This is peak yaoi to me.
There is something to be said about how sanemitsu refuses to risk using this power, until the very last moment. He only does so when Reiji is dead and he's lost the last person he wanted to cling to so desperately.
Fun Fact: Seodore has his eyes closed for this entire scene except for ONE frame as sanemitsu raises the blade <3
Tumblr media
I realize a lot of this is about them as a duo but not necessarily in a shipping lens oops.
From the lens of them as a COUPLE, they dont talk about it LMAO. They are doing couple things and ignoring their feelings about it bc theyre both still mourning other people. I do think they're the kind of couple who do domestic things like grocery shopping together,, cooking,, sitting around at home,, a casual kind of comfort in each other. The hand holding symbolism gets to me. "ill take your hand" linked with THIS SCENE, RIGHT AFTER THAT LINE. Linked with Sanemitsu's scarred hand only being present in S+ because it comes from killing Seodore. They mean everything to me.
Tumblr media
You have no idea how crazy i went when i saw this scene DSALKLKJDSA
This ended up off topic. this all factors into the dynamic of two guys who keep thinking about other things and have a lot going on but can choose to find comfort in each other regardless. i think they should kiss <3
anyways. these are my guys who i love and adore. Seosane forever <3

text that i found in a test map in cell of empireo (not the dlc). the only other thing in this map is a beta version of otowa and haruki's first meeting with the main differences being that in the in-game version no specific classmate names are mentioned and it's not specific about how haruki's being bullied, in the beta it's tanaka who haruki almost killed and the bullies are stealing his gym clothes to bully him.
there's a 'test map' like this in interlude but the only text there is a beta version of other dialogue in interlude, not completely new text like this. please tell me if i'm misremembering though & it shows up elsewhere
God's love is completely different from human love. The love God showed us was a merciless mercy. Humans, beasts, flowers, water, the sky…God loves them all equally. Blood, war, sins, and fate… God loves them just as equally.
Not in the way lovers love each other. Not in the way family does, either. It's just the way an author loves his work, is all. Then, God's dwelling is the Empyrean, and God's love, which moves the world, is…
The script of it all. The record.

some thoughts about coe + my first impressions and how they've changed
on my first watch of cell of empireo, i took the courtyard scene, isoi's comment at the beginning of chapter…….seven? eight? that yandere moment, and even "if you want to save everyone, i want to save you" as evidence of a genuine devotion--of something that started from a 'pure' desire to save and follow hatsutori, that was warped as time went on, and culminated in hatsutori's suicide attempt as the turning point--where the 'pure' desire to save and follow hatsutori became simply a warped desire to keep him alive regardless of what condition he was in or his thoughts about it.
i took hatsutori's moment in the garden (white rose) and the moment at the very end as a recognition /of/ that 'pure desire' and, i guess, an acknowledgement that it was 'reciprocated' in the sense that hatsutori also wanted utsugi to 'follow' him…regardless of what condition he was in or his thoughts about it. a similarly 'pure' desire that was warped by the situation they were in--that just like utsugi's attempt to keep hatsutori alive marked the turning point from 'they were somewhat on the same page and wanted the same thing' to 'i'm going to keep this person with me regardless of their thoughts about it', the end of the game was also the turning point for /hatsutori/ from 'i want to be with you and we want the same thing' to 'i'm going to keep you with me regardless of your thoughts about it'
i don't think i was 'entirely' wrong but i think i had it backwards-- as i went through dlc, i realized that while i do think it was 'reciprocated' in the sense that they did 'want' to be together, and i do think neither of them approached the relationship with the intention of using the other person, they were never actually on the same page to begin with and neither of them actually made an effort to understand each other, or at the very least--not in the way harada 'tries' (and only succeeds in too late) with utsugi.
part of the reason that the two of them stick together so closely despite not understanding each other or necessarily sharing the same goals is because hatsutori gives utsugi something he wants, and utsugi gives hatsutori something /he/ wants--hatsutori wants to not be called a monster, and utsugi wants someone to ask him to stay by his side. they say as much during their first meeting, but utsugi still wants the stability that supporting hatsutori (or 'having someone who needs him, rather') gives him, and hatsutori still wants to be called a star.
however the problem is that this isn't the only thing either of them want--as time goes on, they both start to find that they want something other than the roles they've locked themselves into. utsugi finds that he's gone too far down a dark path & wants to be saved, hatsutori also wants to be human (and /also/ thinks they're going too far down a dark path.)
but if they were to turn back or try to reach for something else, they wouldn't just have to acknowledge that what they were doing was wrong, they'd have to acknowledge that /they/ weren't right and that they /don't/ want this. they'd have to give up what they currently have.
and while both of them do individually acknowledge that what they did is 'wrong', this isn't the same as acknowledging that they wanted something else, or trying to reach out for those other possibilities.
utsugi does (kind of) try, once, in the library with harada, but at the time, harada doesn't understand and brushes it off as 'you must be tired'. and then, when they meet it again, utsugi /refuses/ to try again (the only thing you're allowed to say is 'you're tired'--not any of the more 'honest' options)
hajime 'kind of' tries to bring up wanting something else in the scene with utsugi ('can i really not be human')? but doesn't fully understand utsugi's answer, takes it as a 'no', and doesn't really bring it up again--
and neither of them ever fully 'reject' what they have
in fact, it's not that they don't 'reject' it, it's that they reject the other possibility--to be human, to not have to go down this path. to have something else--they both reject 'humanity' in their final lines.
because, as we see with hajime (when he's talking about seodore not being a star) to be human would mean that he needed to make his own decisions about whether what he was doing was right without the reassurance that being a 'star' gave him. and utsugi says something similar, that telling hajime that what he's doing is right is how he knows 'what he's doing is right' and the reason he's living, so 'to be human' would be to find another reason to live without the reassurance of someone 'needing' him.
neither of them can bring themselves to do that in the end, neither of them ever 'stop' what they're doing, and so they die without letting those things go.

shinarei is really really really good i think.
Tumblr media
cell of empireo routes EDCB and S+, dlc spoilers (fyi, stuff from a part of the dlc that isn't translated yet, nothing super major though)
just an informal post from me. gets a little embarrassing too. gushing about things is a little painful when you are full of love.
but basically, like, i think there exists to be an argument (hypothetical? idk i don't hang out with any fans) that shinarei could fall into pair the spares territory... which is certainly untrue. i just do not think that it has no basis. it's not particularly deep or anything but i do think it is a fits like a glove situ. anyway, at least i'm not the one pairing up family members. (charged statement? tbh not really, my opinion would not change regardless of whether or not an alternative exists... i just do not fw step-whatever ships and i view them as incest. it is my own preference.)
on the relationship between shinano and atou in coe
since the game kind of flip flops on when the rakusou park rabies case happened (though the second half of the game seems to consistently date it around march 2015 so i'll begrudgingly consider that despite it being a very small timeframe), i think that regardless of how long shinano was under atou's care, it is an important relationship in the long run with respects to this post. while shinano was heavily influenced by origin beta seeking origin alpha out it IS a huge point for shinano that one cannot seperate their old and current and future selves so easily so, even as an existence that straddled the line between origin beta and shinano, i think shinano->atou is a highly valid interpretation. i think tina's instinct "to protect", pochi's instinct "to seek out the origin" and shinano's instinct of "atou-san, atou-san" getting all muddled up created some kind of insane peak yandere. i think the main point here is that for most of the game— reiji had gone off so is missing for a good chunk of the game, shinano is present until chapter 5 then disappears, so the two essentially have no real knowledge of each other. atou tells shinano about reiji in the past tense. he tells reiji about shinano being missing in action but there isn't really the gravity in the current situation to elaborate (ironically because origin beta is still running around). also i think it's really funny that atou immediately discounts that shinano could be beta when ibuki brings it up... anyway this is all preamble really.
starting off on the wrong, no, perhaps the worst foot (paw?) possible
so reiji goes yeah imma kidnap you, atou haruki, and be done with it. honestly, who knows how the plot could have gone if shinano had not appeared in this moment... really, whether it was beta pulling him towards alpha or shinano just happened to come across them at the worst moment, it's still an amazing fucking scene. like, one may wring their hands over whether or not this is yandere, but people have called other characters yandere over literal nothing. SO WHATEVER. my post my interpretation. honestly, it's really fucking good. the way shinano is laser focused on atou, atou-san come here, atou-san, atou-san while reiji is on the other side making quips in lieu of atou who is on shock, it's a tense scene that i can't criticize at all really. SHINANO MY GOAT!!!! literally my favorite line in the entire game btw:
Tumblr media
at this point shinano and reiji could not be more diametrically opposed in terms of goal, reiji's being to retrieve atou for sanemitsu and shinano's being an open ended one of "protecting", and who knows how that could even end when at least half of the instinct is coming from what is essentially stem cell rabies and chronic dog brain. it doesn't help they lack context on said stances... in S, this is the end of their adversarial relationship, but if you miss enough flags you basically guarantee that reiji is getting killed by shinano. i think this is actually a really important aspect of shinarei. because..... i really like all the cannibalism fanart... shinano is cute so if he wants to take a chunk out of reiji he is free to do so. i don't have to argue about how cannibalism is inherently homoerotic. IT'S NOT JUST ME! if you see any artists on twitter who dabble in this shit they have definitely drawn it at least once. really, it's becoming rare to have an excuse to draw something like this without going full AU, so fukao... thank you. shinarei is mostly a diabetes ship, but the fact that there is also this macabre side to it is part of the appeal imo. also fulfills the game's "earn your happy ending" element. it's so good~~~~
shinano and reiji are impossibly dorky "but somehow it doesn't cross into otaku cringe" -known shinano fan who excuses anything he says (not me lol why would you think this)
at the time of the dlc, in summer of 2018— its "shinano-shi"!!
how INCREDIBLY dorky!!! i almost didn't pick up on it. you first see it when sanemitsu picks up a note from reiji about atou and shinano visiting— for some reason i assumed it was the formal usage, which was pretty dumb of me to be honest, i genuinely questioned why it'd be like that after three years before i realized it wasn't a stuffy "-shi" but more like how otakus address each other with the nuance of "comrade". to be honest, i've seen the examples of otaku using "-dono" way more often so i didn't realize right away. it's cute not only because it follows the thoroughline of "since S+, shinano and reiji have continued to get along" but also because i feel like this kind of otaku slang has LONG fallen out of favor, it is a stereotype among stereotypes, but reiji is not a normal person at all and i would not be surprised if he just heard it somewhere and picked it up on a whim. i mean, when your dad writes in occult magazines he is probably bumping elbows with some very strange people.
there's not much to discuss in terms of reiji engaging with shinano's hobbies and actively getting into ditasword, but it is cute, cute cute cute. sickeningly cute. how cute can it get?!?!!! this cute:
Tumblr media
tying up loose ends
on the age difference
there's like, a good 4, 5 year age difference?
i guess one thing there would be hand wringing over is the age difference— usually depending on the context, how things shake out is based on your own interpretation... though i think between adults it's kinda "who cares" for me. at any rate, it's not like they're breaching into a relationship right off the bat, imo there is a strong preference for onesided reiji->shinano on my end and there's a good three years until the dlc/interlude/com deadline. just straight up having a massive crush but not being sure of what it means. i like how sanemitsu said that it's nice that reiji made a friend his age after so long, atou is like "he's not though", but they shrug it off and go "well shinano's childish anyway". though i think there is a certain coolness factor in shinano that reiji sees that the others don't see!!!! do you understand!!!! also how is it any different from the classic "crushing on an older girl"!!!!! anyway, shinano's happy to have someone he can talk to about his hobbies aside from akane. anyway 25 vs 29 is a pretty nice diff actually. its kinda who cares.
on the contrast
for all intents on purposes despite being a private detective and getting wrapped up with empyrean, of all of rakuen, i think shinano has the strongest image of a civilian. perhaps even among the entire cast in coe. reiji... is very much not a civilian!!! he lives with mercs and does insane paranormal investigations as a lifestyle!!! there is nothing civilian or normal about that...!!! i think the gap in daily life is very good, and despite everything shinano's suspension of disbelief is probably top tier. he will fit in right away if reiji introduced him to LDL. theodore on suicide watch
shinano deserves to be happy
this series has too many widows and widowers. ENOUGH!!!
element of long distance dating
shinano moves back to tokyo after coe is over (as opposed to him treking to nagoya to seek atou out) and reiji is living in italy. i'm sure reiji is probably going to japan a lot anyway but likeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!like!!!!!!!!
atou hates it
Tumblr media
^olympic gold medalist in homophobia won by a gay man who has been emotionally married to the same guy since middle school, more at 8.
no but really, he really can't with the otaku stuff, now his coworker has turned his step brother into an otaku or made it more apparent, not to mention all the potential PDA, i have to pray for him a bit. well at least he has less to worry about in the "if shinano stands next to me in public for more than 1 second what if people think i'm gay" <-it's ok when rui does it though.
sanemitsu would love it however!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! theodore would probably hate it...though... i think he would wish death on any couple so
addressing potential bias
for reference other pairs i like: ninayou, atourui (reverse is fine.), i respect kanoato but don't engage, hajiyuki, [REDACTED] <-spoilers that dont even exist yet, dont ask me anything about it
strong dislike for shipping reiji with family.

hi there! i'm not certain if this is the correct place to ask... i am sorry for clogging up the main tag with my silly questions. but is there a tutorial for downloading cell of empireo? specifically the dlc.
i would like to read the whole thing (i have been watching the translation on youtube, but it is unfinished) however every time i try to open it after downloading, my computer stops me and tells me that it's a virus/trojan horse :( was the download link infected at some point, or is my computer just making a mistake? i do not know japanese very well so i am struggling to figure this out myself, my apologies.

cell of empireo spoilers (up to? dlc probably?) but
i think actually maybe there’s a comparison to be made between all three of hatsutori/atou/shinano wrt to killing(or not killing) a person goes…….. like hatsutori having done so feeling like it kind of sealed his fate in some ways, atou nearly doing so and wanting to but not, and shinano killing people and it being entirely out of his control while still being a part of ‘himself’? i have nothing to say just thinking.

impromptu intro post because i decided to exist on here all of a sudden
i’m rook (or roo). he/she. black. (tme) translesbo on a handful of spectrums. walking social experiment. 6′11. bitches love my riddles. resident twitter user but expanding my horizons because i am bored and unemployed
my special interest is cell of empireo (11.22.2021; DLC + hermit’s room) but i rarely talk about it publicly. my main interests at the moment are honkai star rail, arknights, no home, and the project moon series (all iterations) but as of drafting this the studio is crashing and burning in real time
i like Characters who you will unlock information about if you watch me talk for 0.01 seconds. enjoy your stay
