The Cosmic Horror of Arknights
Arknights has some of the most varied storytelling of any fictional universe. It is only natural that it would eventually engage with the themes of cosmic horror. In this video. Though it seems incompatible with a gacha game, you'll be surprised to see how interesting and terrifying some of the concepts are.

Violet Evergarden, Neurodivergence, and Trauma
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.14 дней назад
As one of my favorite animes, Violet Evergarden tells a very emotionally gripping, beautiful story. After rewatching it, I couldn't help but notice a few things about her character that I had missed back on my first watch, so I felt compelled to do an analysis of her story and her character, specifically some parallels with neurodivergence, and the way that her trauma is explored and healed.

Does Sexualization Degrade the Value of a Character?
Просмотров 95 тыс.2 месяца назад
It's no secret that sexualization sells, and the gaming industry has made use of that strategy for quite some time. from free to play gacha games like NIkke: Godess of Victory, to Triple A releases like Stellar Blade, sexualization is everywhere. The question I'll be exploring in this video essay is whether it's implementation somehow reduces the impact that a certain character or narrative can...

Shallowly written af characters who happen to wear skimpy clothings are just lame, and they will bore me quick.

    Crazy to think about yhe other as well, the calapsuls are another one (tho they are new to the lore of Arknights, to use players) and that they have been around way before you (the doctor) and other ancients, and before Oripathy and Kal'tsit as well. And what makes them even scary-er is that the "god loke" aegir does not know of them and they are more powerfull and unknown than the Seaborn/Firstborne

    One more important thing about seaborn: they're literally infinitely adaptable! If seaborn view something as a threat, then they will try to defeat it, and it will be impossible to stop them because they adapt so fast. Seaborn are weak to fire? Give them a few days tops. You got a real nice wall to hide behind? They'll just start evolving limbs to climb up it. That sorta stuff. Additionally, perhaps the most morbidly hilarious fact of the Seaborn is that _they weren't originally hostile_. The AEgirians, yeah, those guys, were originally land dwellers, and they only started living underwater relatively recently. As it turns out, the Seaborn are fairly territorial, and the AEgirians literally colonizing the sea was met with heavy opposition. It's not that the Seaborn were inherently this cosmic threat to Terra, but rather that the _Terrans made the Seaborn adapt to be this threat_. Lone Trail spoilers below: Seaborn were created by the pre-Terran progenitor race who did a bunch of stuff including make the supercomputer that made the Sankta the Sankta, create the fake sky and second moon on the planet, and have some link to Kal'tsit, an ageless being whose whole goal is to preserve Terra and prevent it from going to shit. The Seaborn's goal is to _destroy Originium_, the death cancer rock that is so prevalent in Terra it's how people power their microwaves and stuff. So to be clear, Originium is such a threat that the absurdly powerful precursor thought it fit to create an infinitely adaptable super organism species in order to destroy it. There's a cosmic horror here and it isn't the plant eldritch horror sea friends.

    I think terms like “disruptive” and “gets in the way of” are matters of personal opinion rather than a reality of what’s happening. I think the issue of sexualisation is: A. An imbalance of sexuality- We need more sexualised male characters B. Imbalance of Development- If male characters are well-developed 3 dimensional characters with depth, the female characters in that media should match

    To be fair to Andreana, according to her files, she is likely an attempt at making an Abyssal Hunter by Iberia or the Church of the Deep. Kal'stit said that comparing Andreana to an Abyssal Hunter is like a drop of ink in a swimming pool compared to Abyssal Hunters who are an entire ink well. (I don't remember the exact quote)

    The Seaborn are a great piece of cosmic horror primarily because they aren't hostile. You mentioned this before, but they aren't motivated by anything further than their own survival & they will only fight so long as that survival is threatened & they cannot reason with their opposition. I think that's something a lot of writers of cosmic horror get too focused on is that the entity has to be some kind of threat. There will be some form of villain that wants to harm you rather than something that is actively unaware it's even causing pain & its changes are discomfort. The Seaborn are great interpretations of that kind of passive horror that I feel works with cosmic horror. Even with this baseline what really makes the cosmic horror of AK work is that it's not something that's constantly considered by the world. There's a few large scale apocalypse level events that could happen that simply wipe all sapient life off the face of Terra, but that's not something that's always considered. We have events where people aren't just working directly against these extinction events like the demons, the false sky, the seaborn, or the Leviathans. They're in both the foreground & background wherewe have mentions to them like in Lonetrail with Friston, Hortus De Escapismo featuring The Church of the Deep as an answer to the catastrophes, Originium, and famine rather than just as an enemy, and IS4 finally giving us insight as to what demons the Wendigos & Emperor's Blades were made to fight. While they are in the periphery there's more to the world that keeps it human & reminds us how normal the people that will be impacted by this are. There's a lot of normalcy in terms of what characters we see even with the outlandish scenarios & their problems can be mundane. Even in Lonetrail half the stories within are dedicated to talking more about the faults of the scientific community's ties with the military industrial complex rather than the cosmic horror. The world is wide enough that it doesn't feel like you're buying into a horror game/property, you're walking into a world where these are a part of nature and it ranges from beautiful to gruesome to horrifying.

    With this in mind, im guessing the final chapter of arknights is the last stand against the seaborn. We had the reunion arc, the victorian arc, and if arknights' live service is about to end, we will have a dedicated seaborn arc. It's possible this is the last chapters of arknights, because i cant imagine a conflict far greater than od the seaborn. Maybe the sami and it's shenanigans up north. Now that i think about it, talos 2 of endfield is a different planet from terra if i remember it right. Is it because terra was engulfed by the seaborn, forcing its residents to migrate to talos 2, with a new problem called the blight? Im excited as to what the writers will cook for future arknights stories, and how will they solve the problem of the inevitability to introduce bigger conflict than the previous one to continue the rising of stakes. Oh also, *how about you join us, the skadi's cult?*

    What's also insane is that the Seaborns still remain as one of the hardest enemies to deal with even in today's standards gameplay wise if you don't have the necessary knowledge to counter them. The Seaborns are capable of ending the world of Terra if they truly wanted to.
