Be as you've always been by thyrd_pardie

Summary
“When the birds are heard again in their singing,
once atrocity is hoarse from voicing shame,
and when the earth is trembling on some new beginning
with the same sweet shock of when Adam first came,
be as you've always been."
- Be, HozierSylus Qin—tall, broad, and handsome—presides over the notorious N109 Zone; the very empire he built with his own hands.
You want nothing to do with him, nor his empire. Except for one miniscule yet inescapable detail: your 16 year old daughter shares his DNA.
Thus, you are forced to see him during family holidays and on the occasions where you haven’t had enough time to run and hide behind your couch when he drops her back home.
That is until your daughter is accepted into a prestigious high school and you do not have the financial means to put down a deposit.

This essay isn’t about Caleb: a dialectical analysis of incest, class society, and authoritarianism by thyrd_pardie

Summary
Abstract: Papergames is no stranger to authoritarianism. The narrative of Love and Deepspace centers crime and punishment, most often championing institutions of power as the solution to systemic problems. This present essay endeavours to examine the game that is redefining the otome zeitgeist by probing into the fan space’s fetishisation of a salient kinship term in line with the boom of Chinese Exceptionalism. I reject the unfounded notion that fiction has no bearing on reality, and posit an approach informed by Bandura’s moral disengagement (Bandura 2016) to investigate how this mindset is perpetuated. The remainder of the essay focuses on the Throne of Eros banner and how the incorporation of explicit incest is only another manifestation of Papergames’ profit model of misogyny. This informs my concluding assertion that the fan space is in need of an intersectional outlook on feminism, outlining how players can go about rejecting Papergames’ vampirism.

Love and Deepspace: cops, superheroes, worldbuilding, and why a story can’t just be ‘vibes’ by thyrd_pardie

Summary
Abstract: Love and Deepspace entered the market in 2024, changing the landscape of otome games with its 3D models and hybrid gameplay. Despite its attempt at constructing a story catered towards women, though, they still seem to exhibit the pitfalls of any other company concerned with capital. Capitalism is anti-feminist.
This present essay thus dissects the presentation of Hunters as law enforcement, why the decision is so insidious, and what it means for the world-building. I examine the pervasive theme of crime and punishment and the unconscious biases of both the writers and the audience towards the criminal incitement to discourse, looking at the Tomorrow’s Catch-22 banner’s presentation of a racialised society and an unquestioned carceral system reminiscent of the CCP’s discriminatory policies.
The Love and Deepspace world is not concerned with itself, only what it can be for the central six characters. Plot holes are rife, antagonism is a spectacle, and Linkon society is a monolithic machine. Their politics revolve around which way the narrative can be bent into the shape needed to enhance the romance of the present couple, and the rest of the story is therefore lacking in any genuine care.

Darth Vader was his magnum opus, a masterpiece eleven years in the making. Everything leading up to his Fall had been carefully calculated down to the very minute, and Darth Sidious was prepared to sit back and watch it unfold.
He did not account for a broken dishwasher derailing his plans.

In which Anakin has a psychotic break, Mace saves the Republic, Obi-Wan tries to balance being a good jedi with being a good friend, and nothing is going to stand in between Padmé and her husband any longer.

Summary
Hamlet shudders in Horatio's arms, his low cry a blessing. The unseen linden-leaves shake, wild with wanting.
“Are you afraid?” Horatio gasps, his fingers fanned like wings in Hamlet's dark hair.
Hamlet nods, smile disarmed, pressing their foreheads together. “But what of that?”
It's then that Horatio knows his faith is branch and nest enough, whatever horrors may yet come to haunt them.
