the drag race comment is SOOO REAL LMFAO

u lowkey sound like aventurine i'm getting the feeling he somehow ghostwrote this. awesome vid tho

some races are just more susceptible to being violent it's in their nature they cant control it 💀 -promare like girl pack it up ! also i love how the burnish caused half of the planet to die and then went like we always provide safe exist routes like ?? too little too late girl where were these routes at 30 years earlier when you killed half of the population ? also why don't they burn forests instead ? you would think they learnt their lesson after being almost genocided? the authors really took some praise for kill al kill then made themselves some fascism experts 💀 ALSO BYE WHY WAS THE LIO IMPRESSION SO FUCKING GOOD ? also ngl lio destroying the city is just EDGY ASF like what is the message , the masses deserve to die because one person lost something dear to them or arent treated fairly ? is this a school shooting sympathizer movie or a race critical one ???? make up your mind

gameplay with therapy

What I got from this video is fuck nous, do drag

Hoorah🎉

Wait where did those scenes in the last part of the vid happen?

gosh this just convinced me to find time to watch this show. Time, I need time! I like how each of your point is a tick on what I like in a character, in a story.

Great analysis!

Glad to see you making more content !!! I hope this one will gain a lot of traction. 🎉

this is a great video i hope it gets more recognition soon! I'm a trans guy (though my gender is a bit complicated) and I honestly relate to the whole thing about trans men being seen a certain way and if you go against that people don't look at you as respectfully. Anyways i think i like lanque even if i haven't played hiveswap yet

You had me at the fun background and kept me at the bit where you called out the fandom for their garbage media literacy . And just generally being absolutely on FIRE with this character study, omg.

lanque is so awesome . transmasc rep my beloved

LANQUE IS TRANSMASC?!??!

this is the greatest essay video on a piece of media wtf why did I only found this now??? thank you so much, everything you said made me feel so valid about my opinions on the show/manga especially about shipping in the fandom. These Vanoe mfs be getting on my nerves sometimes lmao

As a transmasc artist, dawg, shit is SCARY OUT HERE. "Ooo I head cannon this character as transmasc" same but I draw him fat and hairy and without top surgery! My striders are both transmasc and Mexican, Dave binds, Dirk. Just doesn't!! He has a large chest and does not care! I specifically make him pretty gnc because I like it!!! Idk sorry for the rant lmao

5:14 Nitpicking here, but You are not a human. In Pesterquest; John describes You as ageless and barely even a person, and in the Roxy Route she thinks You're a Prospitian rather than a human and You think that your may be a Carapacian when first seeing them. It's clear that MSPA Reader/ You/ Friend is not human based on what comes after Hiveswap, despite the implications that You are during it.

I AM SO GLAD SO GLAD SOMEONE DID A VIDEO ABOUT THIS!!!! I love lanque and the way he is transmasc representation and god I do NOTTT know why but I ADORE him

Congrats on being the closest anyone's ever gotten me into wanting to play Honkai

As a trans man who is also not American this means so much bc back in the day Lanque was such a point of anger for many bc he wasn't a softboi and it was so funny? Like ok dislike him if you want thats ok but just bc he is trans doesn't mean he gotta be shit, much less you know real people, at the end of the day we are just people? I've dealt with chasers and lesbians who mourned my "woman side" dying when i transitioned and it was so wild?? Bc many wanted me to be nb bc that would mean i could be safe and feminine enough to make them feel comfortable and could feel attraction without guilt, i had an ex who asked me if T would make me grow a literal dick bc "she was scared of me being a real man" and i was like girl first of all thats now how hormones work and second bye 😂.

galekh my love <3 anyways yeah i didnt expect homestuck & vtubing to collide like this but MAN this is real

I love seeing transmasc representation as a nonbinary transmasc person and hope this representation can lead to more good transmasc representation in the future !!

YOOOO I need to play the rest of Hiveswap!! I only played the first part when it came out and thought it was a very good introduction to Homestuck's world (I've never read homestuck). Also that's a damn cool Vtuber model~

I really enjoyed this video essay. It was excellent. You also took the words right out of my mouth when you said their relationship is stronger than romance. That’s what I’ve always thought. I kind of see them as platonic partners the kind where they love each other (non romantic) and need each other in order to grow. Their relationship always felt so strong to me sometimes it gave me chills. That being said I’m a huge VanitasxJeanne shipper. Their relationship is also about growth. They still have a strong and beautiful relationship but I think his relationship with Noe transcends that kind of like soulmates. I love both characters but I actually like Noe better than Vanitas (still love him tho). He is much more open about his feeling and thoughts (of course because he is the narrator) and I really like his innocence and admiration for the world. Dude stands up for what he believes in and actually has the courage to get tough when he needs to.

yeah, Noe does not give me himbo vibes lol more like a white knight or the overprotective caring friend vibes

It was a good video until i saw vanitas and jeanne are better... there is nothing wrong with that opinion aside from the fact its an opinion not a fact as there is nothing that says that the other relationships wont grow and age better as, as stated, its open ended and likely to hold a more complex continuation than we want or can assume.

when I saw the title my computer crashed

I look forward to your videos 🎉

This is what keeps me going, I have always wanted to understand Vanitas more, thank you so much!

Noé is one of my FAVORITE characters along with Vanitas, Roland, Dante and Johann. Noé is funny, sweet, precious, adorable, and hot all at the same time, I love Noé

I still don't know if I pounced Vanita's name right, I pounce it as V-A-I-l-T-A-S because that's how it sounds when the Characters say his name in anime. Like I hear the word similar to valley when a character starts saying his name.

I originally thought this was yaoi 😭😭😭🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I saw fanart of the white haired guy and the blue and black mc and it was a LOT of fanart so I was like “damn gay vampires? Sign me up..” watched the first episode and realized it was, in fact, not gay vampires

I don't like Promare anymore because of disgusting Lio stans and critically looking at it's writing but I believe Galo deserves way better than what his haters believe. Galo was robbed just because he's not a ultra-powerful pretty boy. 😡😤🤢✊

I think the mistake is making Promare into a movie instead of a series. Really, everything just feel so rushed and i'm so disappointed after watching it because i thought the movie is actually anything like the hype, but it's not, it's empty has left an empty impression to me. I mentioned it on a reply, but i think Galo can still work as an MC, but also having Lio as the secondary MC. This is why i really hate the fact this movie is a movie, not an anime series. BC EVERYTHING FELT TOO RUSHED OHMYGO And not to mention the placement of the comedy/slapstick can be somewhat tone deaf if you ask me. Like, am i supposed to laugh or sympathize with the Burnish guys when they're shooting Lio with a freaking cannon shot to escape their oppressor? Like, be serious now Trigger 😭 I have some tone understanding issue and Promare makes me utterly confused because they expecting me to sympathize, sad, laugh, and hyped at all the same time? I can't enjoy this movie at all, but i admit, Lio's design and attitude (idk his character or personality is) saves my boredom throughout the movie. And i still think Lio is one of few best things coming from this snoozer movie. And i'm not liking how they handle Galo's story in general, like what i said, too rushed...

Tbh i legit disappointed with Promare after all the hype in 2019 but left underwhelmed with the movie. Lio somewhat kinda saves my boredom throughout the movie. That movie just feel like watching a shitpost coated with "serious" issue, and that's kinda tone deaf to me... :( Till this day, i still love and fixated with Lio's design to death and even consider him as one of my favorite fictional characters ever despite there's nothing much to remember about him other than being a Mad Burnish that loses himself. Promare deserve much better pacing and should've been a normal episodic anime instead of a movie, because the concept is really banger imo and could bring a good drama and angst material instead of the "haha here's our another tropey shit for funnies despite the movie is **literally** about people getting mistreated and experimented" we got. Sorry for the annoying rant, but glad to know there's someone that "likes" the movie but "not really". I feel bad for only liking Lio, but i just can't care for other characters and other stuff in this movie at all, okay? 😭

HELP ME THE WAY YOU JUST STARTED ABSLOUTLY BULLYING THE SHIT OUT OF VANITAS AT THE START HAHHAHAA

this is the best video my little autistic self has ever watched

30:05 does anyone know the song at this timestamp?

Something I’ve noticed that you also probably have, is that while Noe (said in part 1 I think) is sheltered, he still is decent at reading people. Him picking apart vanitas and his motivations and trying to understand him is also very intelligent. I know I worded that weirdly so hopefully this makes a bit of sense?

BRO I THINK THAT NOÉ AND VANITAS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOGETHER THAT SHIP IS 🔛🔝

BRO is literally telling us the story we’re watching with the most eloquent language possible he is not a himbo the heck!!

Spoiler alert it will is devious

All valid points

Dude Noe and Vanitas are freinds! They aren't even implied to be a posible cuple! The fact that fans try to force it makes me dislike this show so much just let two guys be freinds!! THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE GAY!!!

I loved this video so much h is made me laugh so much lmao

Great video

I hate to say it, but I think people are put off of Noe... because he's a himbo. I'm not saying history and development aren't fascinating and complex. They are. But. He is no-thoughts-head-empty so much of the time. And he is so strong. And so pretty. And unemployed. We're habituated to treat characters like that as part of the setting. Our experience says, "This character is only eye candy, not actually important." This, despite the fact that textualy, he is extremely important. We gloss over his opinions and history because we expect the story to forget about them the moment they no longer serve the narrative. This might even be an intentional choice, as Noe isn't the protagonist. The authors may have chosen such a perceptualy weak archetype to make sure there was no question that the story is about Vanitas, not Noe. The unfortunate side effect is exactly what you mentioned, that most people think of Noe as a function of Vanitas, and not as a character in his own right. The racism still totally could be a factor, I can't speak to that. But this was my thoughts.

Oh I fully know how bad it is and always mention the lack of plot… but it perfect because of this! There’s always something happening, the COLORS!!! The SOUNDS! And nothing that is happening has to make sense. just because it’s just pure joy to watch 😂😂😂 Like even while watching it I thought to myself how I love the lack of real plot, because it was so cool to just turn off my head for once :3

HOLY CRAP I didn't even realize his gloves were off this last chapter woah. Vanitas being so vulnerable these last chapters is really making me love his character that much more

"Rolandddddd" perfectly defines this chapter
