Meta / Analysis Index
Over the past while, I've written a good few thousand words of game text analysis in order to explore and figure out Kashiwagi's character.
Most of these are already on my tumblr.com, but I'm in the process of paring them down so they read a bit better and hosting the text directly on this website. My goal here is to keep a personal archive of everything I've written all in one place, while also ensuring everything I write is easily accessible to everyone who would like to read it regardless of what social media accounts they own. Web enshittification is a very real thing, and I regularly run into issues both personally wherein I can't view Twitter threads while logged out, and with friends not being able to access my Tumblr posts without opening an account.
As such, anything with an internal webpage linked is fairly heavily edited from the Tumblr text and (I hope) easier to read, as long as the webpage plays nicely with your device. Depending on the depth of the original writing, the new webpages may also elaborate more on certain topics.
Web pages:
- Comparing Adachi's and Kashiwagi's Fashion Sense
- How I view Kashiwagi's age
- Stress, duty and caring
- Collection of headcanons/other such non-canon thoughts
