i just found this meme again so this is how i feel about hayao

i also thought his annoyance with yakumo had always stood out (and was kinda funny). anyway chara limits are really annoying so i won't create a long thread here but thank you for sharing your thoughts!!

act of bravado. ive always found aogami's conflict with his own sense of control interesting too. maybe you could say its a display of trust that he's comfortable with handing over the reins to MC? or maybe it was his own discomfort with responsibility and agency?

no not annoying at all!!! i really appreciate the thoughts and any interest in my ramblings. im always happy to talk about the game and interpretations. i think your interpretation is very interesting too and i agree with the chara assessments. i also think dazai towards the end was putting on an

them to learn something outside of their own vacuums. the balance between two differing wills was actually probably useful in preventing the slide into extremism (though ultimately i guess it depends on which ending you choose lol)

properly because they're all trapped in their own echo chambers with reflections of themselves. diversity and unity were just truly lost to them. which is why i think ironically the mismatched fusion with tsukuyomi was actually maybe a necessary change of pace for the both of

this seems in line with the common factors leading to extremism. the fact that 'proper' nahobino pairs are basically charas who are all kinda two halves of one whole and thus reflections of each other i think just further compounded on this issue. nobody can think and reflect

so i guess it has less to do with solitude and more to do with echo chambers and vacuums. the pairs were all insulated within their own echo chambers, and they only served to enable each other rather than being able to do any real Critical Thinking

everyone slides into extremes is in large part because they were isolated. but the nahobino fusions come in pairs, so they always had at least one other person on their side or whatever, so could you say these charas were truly alone and isolated?

or whatever but the strength of social species is our ability to combine our power into something greater, to achieve things that are otherwise impossible. ofc their circumstances only fostered division and competition so unity was very unlikely, but i do think the reason why

i've been thinking about the concept of unity as well. i always thought that Ideally, what would've probably been the best scenario for the charas is that in the face of adversity and disaster they are able to unify and work together as one. you can call it power of friendship

aspects. the track called 'It Seems The Knowledge Is In Control' just never playing when fused with tsukuyomi also suggests that he's maybe more equally in control than aogami usually is. so why are these mismatched fusions more 'balanced'? i can only speculate ofc But

anyway my theory is whoever takes the wheel is mostly determined by whoever has the stronger will or something. but in tsukibinos case i suppose they actually had two wills despite hayao's overall Identity Crisis. these mismatched fusions may work differently bc of these various

but aogami seems to have less qualms about that despite it being posited as dangerous. that being said it could also just be Atlus Oversight TM. all of the 'proper' nahobino fusions seem to only ever have one dominant 'pilot' and it's not usually even the Knowledge.

meanwhile i think aogami is unable to even speak through the nahobino form to others, which may explain why it is he always unfuses to talk to charas like nuwa and yakumo. this was always kinda odd to me bc of how tsukuyomi seems unwilling to ever unfuse in daat outside of haunts

it seems like only the fusion with MC and tsukuyomi allowed for control to be passed around while fused. tsukuyomi is able to take the wheel and communicate directly with other charas thru the nahobino form, like with khonsu and miyazu in their CoV questline

#nightebooks been thinking on the nahobino fusions and why it is the mismatched one seemed to grant a more equal balance of control btwn both parties. i also thought about how it might relate to the idea of unity and isolation. there's kind of a lot to explain here but uh

thinking about this again...
it would be funny if she was actually a good leader for the amatsukami/proto-fiends but only those people could understand her

my certain conviction is kei calls himself 'aogami's little meow meow'. he probably set his contact name as that in the protofiends' phones. aogami doesn't know how to change it so he just left it
