#holly SENSING giorno as a joestar inheritor and being like

[goatpaste]

Do you think you'd ever rewrite p5 like you did with p2 or nah?

mmm no probably not

like for as much as im not that into p5, its like looking at a knot. its a mess, but its functioning! i guess! and you kinda just dont wanna dip your hands into that knot to unravel it because thats almost a bigger mess

like, p5 works as it is, i thinks the plot is just fine for what it is i guess. its the characters that i feel would need some oOMf in there? they need reason and drive to do stuff. liKE the only one i felt had a drive to do anything related to the main plot was bruno. like even giorno who originally brings up his dislike for the drug thing, feels like he took a back seat to it and Bruno had a bigger reason to have a stand against than giorno did almost immediately. Then Brunos connection and sympathy for Trish is his drive for the rest. and everyone just kinda followed along for the sake of the story. as much as i dont care about fugo i actually do like and respect him dipping out at that point in the story. its was real to the character we were presented of him and the idea that not all of them were going to just jump ship to Brunos life raft was a real character choice! so many characters dont feel like they make choices so much as having already decided paths?

anyways im ranting again

the story isnt my favorite, but there something THERE and i think if the characters felt more filled out and more reason for the things they do and reason that drive them forward it would make the plot more satifiying. also if they shut the fuck up sometimes man. again they just go on and on about nothing SO much, its so much wasted time. especially near the end, like the start of p5 is more in the way of writing that i enjoyed of the earlier parts, but by the end of it i kept being like "theres still HOW many episodes left??" because it felt like we'd been there FOREVER

i just wish characters felt more fleshed out and had more interest in what they were doing and who they were doing these things for? idk, idk if im making any sense or wording how i feel properly or if this is actually what bothers me on p5

i just dont know how id "fix it" or change it. i think its just this lack luster depressing spot of story

#like #idk man idk! maybe rex is right they should stayed weirdos like they were at the start of the p5 #maybe that woulda helped them lol #aLSO #i have thought for my p2 rewrite it would be fun #to replace koichi with holly for the start #holly in italy on vacation with her mom visiting her home country in her old age #holly SENSING giorno as a joestar inheritor and being like #ok!! listen!! you seem sweet but i literally cannot get tangled up in this right now im on vacation with my mom #and i dont want her in danger!!! #and still getting dragged into it because of giorno still pulling the stunt of taking her suitcase #and then getting pulled into the black sabbath fight #its not much #but i think it be nice...
