#neo really leaned into transformation for sho and thats cool I guess

[randomszzz]

I tend to be a bit skeptical about assigning twewy’s songs to its characters; especially given the earlier incarnations song placements being rather free wheeling.  Like the songs conveyed certain ideas and energies, but weren’t really bound to A Specific Character.  (And more power to the fans that decide that those ideas belong to That Character Specifically, I guess, but its not my speed)

Having said all that, the two straight up exceptions to this are Megumi and Satisfy and Susukichi and we’re losing you.  Zero reservations there. 

#twewy #ntwewy #megumi kitaniji #susukichi #kaichi susuki #neo really leaned into transformation for sho and thats cool I guess #but sho and transformation were originally independent of each other. transformation isn't ABOUT sho #hard to embrace it when spending an hour getting the shit kicked out of you well after hours under the covers #while someday blares and someone savors his victory with a soh-cah-toa is a vibrant teenage memory #tbf idk if megumi was originally really tied with satisfy (I think satisfy was in jp ds twewy but taken out in english #no idea what its placement was) #but yeah I can't listen to satisfy or we're losing you without thinking about them #we're losing you also really isn't the sort of music i'd be inclined to appreciate #but in light of susukichi's stuggles? I (kinda sorta) get it now #Also I thought I'd replay a new day last night but where I opened my game was in dead god's pad and just spent 15 minutes vibing to satisfy #neku too I love his floofy hair and little head nods and foot taps #I wish neo had such lively animations #so sad no party members following you in the overworld in neo :( #cute little idle animations adding characterization #Also if I was a perfectly fair human I would say unpainted counts for shiba but I'm not unpainted is my favorite song #shiba is a despicable man #but for like half of neo's track if I even tried to associate them with characters it would just be OMG ITS RINDOKA #its really not hard to associate songs with characters if you're so inclined #twewy isn't super restrictive in where songs play so there's a ton of room for song interpretation to be overrun by bias
