every time someone talks about what a "good arc" guel had I think about the fact that the ship he worked on as Bob was named after a fictional dog who abandoned a happy life to go back to its abusive former family at a moment's notice

Hey! I'm Lemma, and I'm a chubby queer robot VTuber who both makes and plays games on stream! I also occasionally write short stories and tinker with other projects, so keep an eye out! See you around~

tbh it feels like there is a bit of tonal dissonance with the end of gwitch to me. like the suletta/miorine stuff is sweet but the fact that nothing meaningful has changed by the end should have the ending be framed more bittersweetly i think
Things have meaningfully changed, though - just because they weren’t able to magically kill space capitalism forever doesn’t mean that they didn’t shut down the single biggest arms dealer in the solar system and redistribute its ill-gotten gains to exploited Earthians in an incredible shift in the balance of power. Revolutions don’t happen overnight, and they openly admit that the Spacians would claw back everything as much as they could, but harm reduction is still harm reduction.
there's a large section of people for whom the terms "character arc" and "character development" literally just means "a male character suffering". this is why they say Suletta didn't "have an arc", because everything that happened to her, the myriad ways she changed, were about her connecting with people, and the suffering she did experience was just her being whiny because she's a woman. these are the same dipshits who think Attack on Titan is peak fiction because Eren has "such a good arc"
