Just finished reading the newly released vn. UNDER | HEAVEN. It's an interesting work that's for sure. The worldbuilding is cool, imagine yourself living in a city enclosed from the "outside world", the sky is just a dome with lightworks to simulate stars that you never even saw your whole life because the world has ended a long time ago.
I love this because it's so dystopian in cyberpunks way, like everyone has implants and ports on their body and despite the world has ended, unpaid overtime still exists smh. Since it's only the first build I still don't see where the story is heading because there's a huge thing that hasn't been explained yet like the purposes of a real world sandbox simulation named The Exchange and who is the character in the prologue (edit, prolly the artic wolf in the pic idk, go read it!). Oh and they got good characters too! For now my fav is Alex the mountain lion cuz he's a party boy and that's so brat of him.
But for now, 7.8/10
EDICTION... is. so. GOOD RAHHHHH!!!!
A dead man that only ever knows pain in his life being revived by a blasphemous healer on a quest to find "true death".
You will read this in the POV of the dead man, travelling through the town (or at least the remainder of it) in a journey to help the healer to rewrite the Ediction so you all can get to the "true death". I love how throughout the story more lore on the place and Ramla's (the dead man) former life being played out as memories and gives more context to the story. Very tragic i almost cried LMAO.
And for me the most intriguing part in the story is the faith theme. How blind faith limits the ability for people to think critically and being open to consider outside perspectives.
And the way story played out really makes you feel like every choices you make are crucial and heavy, like a burden. Makes you really hooked into it fer reeelllll. For a one shot vn this is really worth your time.
Anyway, my verdict is in! *Drumroll*
EDICTION, 9/10
Ok so as much as I joke and fawn, i actually don't ship very many characters: most of the pairings I talk about are either platonic or queerplatonic to me.
However.
Fucking Hellerby.
And it's weird, because it's a bordelrine crackship with nebulously little canon content, but by god what content there is is wonderful.
It's this fantastic combination of an absurd base-personalities dynamic with the more nuanced intrcacies of the characters which makes it work. It's very functionality requires you to acknowledge these two as more than just "monotone, brutal, asocial" and "reckless, animated, goofy" and it makes me imeasurably happy. They don't have potential because of their basic opposites attract ideal, they have potential because they are both incredibly intelligent (albiet in very different ways), and willing to entertain each other beyond what others often are (again, for different reasons).
They are both finding a person who will neither dismiss nor patronise them, while also finding a person who is perfectly willing to meet them in a conversation and go with it. It's because their personality traits have such a specific amount of overlap, and those traits which are individual are so wildly distant from each other, that they make such an interesting pairing. Mordecai will defaultedly brush past the theatrics which would usually be used to blanket statement everything Rocky says as crazy talk, because that's how he treats most every social quirk, and in turn finds a partner who enthusiatically indulges his more "unimportant" topics. Rocky is willing to roll with whatever concrete stance Mordecai takes, just happy to be talking, but also raising his own genuine arguments and ideas, and he absolutely delights in being able to present those ideas to somebody who will take them at utterly face value and rebuke with an equally plain reaction. Rocky isn't stupid, Mordecai isn't socially inept, but they are each one of the few people who recognise that.
The pancakes comic remains my favourite, not only because it's charming and taught me what dadaism is, but also because it's this wonderful example of two characters who are so rarely honestly relaxed and speaking to their casual whim. Which might be the best part of this ship: it will never happen in canon. The sheer level of environmental neutrality required for these two to even interact in a manner that doesn't involve bullets is absolutely nowhere in the area code of feasible in the comic of show, and honestly, that's my favourite part, because it allows the fandom to go wild with what we do have, and circumvent the circumstances in creative, interesting ways.
What if they were together before Mordecai joined the Marigolds, and we're watching the aftermath of a betrayal that can't be acknowledged by nature of the relationship betrayed?
What if they're maintaining tumultuous contact despite their opposing alliances?
What if, in some perfect future where they both make it past their next birthday, they're able ro connect or reconnect? What if we wrote and drew and talked about that?
anyway

⏰ 🚨 attention please🙏🚨
Dear friends and compassionate supporters,
This is Eman Zaqout, from Occupied Gaza, Palestine. I am a Biotechnologist ,🩸💉 and scientific researcher 👩🔬contacting you at a really desperate moment.
I am seeking your assistance to raise funds for saving our lives, facing the starvation in Gaza 👨👩👧👦 and help me achieve my doctoral degree dream after being awarded OWSD PhD Fellowship for inspirational women 👩🎓
Just like any motivated and loving life woman, and for years, I poured my heart and soul into my work at Al-Shifa Hospital and Turkish Palestinian Friendship Hospital👩⚕️, as Biotechnology Specialist serving cancer patients with compassion and skill💉🩹
As a result of my outstanding grades in my study and the excellent performance in my job, I have been a holder of different scholarship and I am active participant in many research visits and scientific missions💪
The last scholarship as at McGill University in Canada three months ago before the starting of the genocide in Gaza.😫
My life changed dramatically when Israeli military launched a sweeping war against Gaza. My home and our neighborhood in the North have been destroyed along with our belongings and precious memories early in this crisis😣💔
My job and my husband's job are gone. Israeli military forced us to evacuate from the north Gaza to the south where they claimed it would be the safe zone but it is not at all. Our sweet home and neighborhood have been destroyed 😥😭💔
Forced to flee with nothing but the clothes on our backs, today, we find ourselves sheltering in a displacement camp lacking access to sanitation, medical supplies, food and drinkable water. I will not talk a lot about the dire and unbearable life we have to go through, as no word can express it fairly 🥺😣
The good news in the midst of this tragedy, that I am one of the 22 women from the developing world who have been awarded OWSD- PhD fellowship to pursue my PhD study in Malaysia🍉💪. But now I am stuck in Gaza unable to achieve my dream because Israeli army has occupied and closed all the border crossings 😭💔
This genocide has been 10 months of hell and horror. We have reached a point where there is no hope left for us here in Gaza, where we are unfortunately just waiting for our turn to die 💔
Nevertheless,
I refuse to succumb to despair, holding on to the belief that brighter days lie ahead 🖤🤍💚💖
With your kindness and generosity🥺, I hope to survive the genocide and reclaim the path to achieving my doctorate 💉🩸
