The facts AS I KNOW THEM Going in (spoilers possibly?)
- general
- one of the longest works of fiction ever written (unsure)
- connected to higurashi which is also one of the longest works offiction ever written
- insane.
- A “note taking story”
- time loops are involved in both??? I literally just found this this past week
- Both Higurashi and Umineko feature “question” and “answer” arcs, where the question arcs keep introducing insane things and answer arcs actually give answers to everything that the question arcs set up. How this is different than any other piece of mystery fiction I have no earthly idea
- Does magic exist???? I have NO idea!!!!!!
- The stage show opening is so fucking good . SO fucking good.
- about higurashi
- small Japanese town, ritual, sacrifices, murders, people losing their minds, that one green haired girl looking scary.
- about umineko
- family drama
- Murders happen. I literally just found this out for sure this past week LMAO
- Beatrice is. So complicated.
- She’s a witch but maybe she isn’t?? She’s both trans and cis. Immortal and not?? also like 3 different people??? uses Red Text sometimes to fuck with people
- Really wants you yo believe in magic and WILL red text you over it
- Battler
- eventually becomes Apollo Justice ace attorney
- does NOT believe in magic and WILL debate you about it for hours
- I don’t know. If he’s right or if beatrice is right
- Maria
- A steam community screenshot of her standing in a hallway covered in blood
- She has a scary face she pulls at one point. Which doesn’t mean much I think everyone has a scary face
Thoughts on characters:
- Kinzo
- I think he’s literally Faust but like of Faust was a piece of shit
- What the hell do you mean he practices black magic?????
- At this point I’m expecting him to pull a monokuma and announce a death game . But that’s for the theory section
- Battler
- Genuinely a nice guy. Despite being a nepobaby he seems extremely down to earth, even moreso than George in some ways. A Good Boy.
- Silly!!! In a good way!!! Usually!!!!
- Let’s ignore the Jessica harassment okay
- Current Theories
- Kinzo is gonna pull a monokuma and announce a deathgame and no one can get off the island. This is the 80s bitch no cellphones here all the radio systems have been cut off (JOKE)
- Beatrice is gonna claim to be their??? grandmother???? ???????
- Kanon is going to be someone’s illegitimate child and hell might be trans
- Kanon is sooooooo wet cat coded. Might be an assassin. Who knows.
- Gohda is sketchy as hell and probably working for Beatrice for?? the drama of it all?????
- Genji is going to be the coroner for all these deaths that’s gonna happen
- All the seagulls are going to be found dead somewhere
