Been busy spending my free time making progress on things but here's some info cards I whipped up on my for VN projects for ref
The first two are my main focus: the other two are my secondary ones & you’ll probably see most of my art surround these 4 projects as I bounce my interest between ‘em~

I’m so close to getting to Teiyo in my fangame,,,,
and getting to write Teiyo means I get to expand on my take on him and his relationship to Hikari bc canon plausibility be damned I want them to be friends 🥹

Also, I forgot to specify: the main focus of the story is on the kid and the older person that they admire, focusing on the QPT bond between them as they both grow as people (often with the kid inciting their idol’s growth as a person through sheer stubborn (& dumb) belief in them as good people)

I’ve been comparing all my favorite stories recently and I think I’ve mostly identified the secret sauce recipe that gets me hooked on every goddamn one of them.
By that I mean:
* A young protagonist is chasing the footsteps of an older person they admire (consciously or not)

me @ Inui right now in my writing: 🥹
i have a really good grasp on how to make the reader instantly connect to him through Hiroya but also this scene feels so sweet I’m going to cry fhfhfhfgfh

hewwo I’m back on my “can’t get Inui off the brain” BS but I’m thinking really, REALLY hard about how Hiroya almost almost ALMOST slips and says “I need you” to Inui in a last ditch effort to get him not to leave
They’re really not beating my “they’re father and son“ allegations nope nope nope

one thing I’d like to add alongside this fangame is a giant (and I DO mean GIANT) character study of Inui both showcasing my thoughts on his canon character as well as how I’ve personally chosen to dissect him in lieu of missing information that S2 will probably provide

i also finally (finally 😤) reached the execution arc in my fangame which means I’m past the most boring parts of the canon story lol
Now I have free rein to expand my headcanons and interpretations on characters like Teiyo, Mimimi, Seseki, etc. while also slowburning their more pivotal moments

so far I’m up to 18 CG wips for just my fangame’s prologue alone
Is that overkill? Probably. Is it overambitious of me? Maybe. Am I greatly amused by this? Also yes 🙂↕️

on things I’d like to do (but probably have neither the skillset nor time to do so TwT):
A (short!!!) RPGMAKER fangame of Infinite Awakening featuring Inui, Kyoko, and the placeholder OCs I made interacting (and fighting Eden mayhaps?)

TFW you're just a kid caught up in a horrific tragedy, not knowing your parents are nearby and that they don't know you exist :))))))
Or: I like narrative irony and boy will you see me NOT shut up about it in this fangame

on little details about IA I like noticing:
Kyoko’s introduction starts off with Inui in front of the Hachikō dog statue, him standing there waiting for Kyoko likely an intentional allusion to the story of Hachikō loyally waiting for the return of his owner

Inui sketchdump thingy I've been sitting on,,, I love him,,, he's so cool,,,
My opinion of him changes depending on the angle I look at him at but I sincerely love how Inui is written as someone you can’t help but admire even though he’s kind of an asshole loser (affectionate)

ugh I have so many IA-related things I want to draw and sketch out from DTIYS things to AU thoughts to PMVs I’d actually like to put significant effort into for once
this manga has 100% hijacked my brain and I can’t get it out asfhjadhj

look I NEED S2 to be a thing already because there’s so many little details that keep adding up yet obviously haven’t been paid off yet and I’m desperately wanting to see what comes next

I love how reading an alt translation for IA’s story makes me go “oh…oh shit…” on so many things
Like,,, Hiroya fucked up by lying to Inui,,, sure it was the smarter thing to do in that moment but HE HIMSELF KNEW INUI WAS ALREADY AWARE OF THE TRUTH AND IT WAS NO USE TO DO THAT

Okay yeah so
Having reread chapter 23 and noticed a fun little detail I somehow missed before
Im now totally erring on the side 💯% that Inui didn’t actually kill his companions but merely cruelly incapacitated them

trying to thread so many small ideas into this scene here!!
From Hikari being foreshadowed as Hiroya's mentor, a nod to the way Kurusu apparently fought Inui on this vote, Inui making a subtle callback to Kyoko's impact on him, Mimimi and Kurusu acting as foils as Inui's strongest supporters, etc.

I keep going back and forth on it but half of me believes Inui only incapacitated his peers and merely dealt them non-fatal wounds to get them out of the picture
He would have done the same to Hiroya too, but Hiroya reacted too fast and put him in the awkward position of playing the bad guy

I think the scariest part about Inui’s character is he always comes off as so charmingly sincere that it’s honestly hard to tell at what point he may be lying and at what point he’s pulling strings
