Wo! P3 Yuri! need more of that in my life.
(hopefully one day I'll go and finish P3P... and all the other games I haven't finished... I was already on the last month....)
^As far as I know and at least interrupted it Talulah is herself until Alina dies, at which point the Biblical Snake takes control. Alina's death for me had the most impact with Talulah's character in Arc 1, because Talulah still has agency, compared to most of Arc 1 where she's under the influence and control of a Biblical Snake, and has a lot of her agency removed. So the fact that she still has agency the whole time Alina is dying is important to me. It was only after Alina officially died that Talulah's anger set in and the Biblical Snake largely removed her agency from that point onwards.
^I love how we can place our characters in the teapot, I essentially made a lesbian park for Ganqing & Eimikosara, with Yae Miko being a fox statue. That will be changed tonight!
@FilthyFlow I never got the impression that Tomoko cared about her sexuality. She just seems to do whatever she wants in that regard. She's clearly sexually attracted to both girls and guys, but it seems like it either doesn't matter to her, or she isn't aware that it might matter to other people.
I'd honestly love to have a chapter about that from the manga, but I don't think that will happen.
^I think if anything the build up came after Alina died, and Talulah's feelings of hate grew from that point onwards. I really don't like the idea of Talulah not having agency/reduced agency over her person during such an impactful scene.
It's fine if we don't agree though, nothing wrong with agreeing to disagree haha
^this. Ucchi just has no real filter in that regard so she's the most blatantly obvious about it. If memory serves it took her friends all of like five minutes watching her behaviour around Tomoko to connect the dots (and promptly start shipping/wingmanning them).
p sure Alina's death was just the "beginning of the end", both due to its own obvious emotional impact and because it deprived Tal of a vital emotional/psychological support and moral anchor point. The actual breakpoint that allowed the Snake to take over only came later, when she finally lost it in that one village - that was the last straw that broke her idealism and faith in "regular people". Kaschchey back in the day pretty much outright told her as much, and both Alina and... IIRC Patriot? had repeatedly expressed concern about her excessive optimism in that regard and how she kind of didn't have an ideological fallback should she be disillusioned one day. If memory serves in "present time" at one point Faust also made a passing mention about how she changed "after that village"...
