we are women. ya hear that? she/her pronouns you lot.

intro
we have played gears and all of the blade games, including torna and future connected. we spend a lot of time trying to optimise combat on our own; we dont do any leaderboard or community stuff, it's just a past time we enjoy on my own. our favourite part of the series is the depiction of mental health and psychology

writing info!
we have not completed gears (disc 2 moment) or blade 3, and so what we write about these is likely to have oversights because a lack of knowledge. in general, we prefer doing minor edits, because it is easy to focus on one small thing all at once that we are actively thinking about! for the sake of being free from the shackles of capitalism (fandom wiki), though, we do our best to write complete pages on our own as well, to help make this wiki more complete! just starting is the hardest part.

favourite characters
warning! this section has unmarked game spoilers.

bart bart bart bart bart bart bart Mia is really autistic and earnest and we love it so much. we love mia. a lot more important to us than the other characters we like, like nagi. Pneuma is a really good depiction of depression and dissociative identity disorder. we think most parallels between gears and the blade games are more effective as a piece of art and storytelling in gears, because the blade games use subtext whereas gears is often extremely direct in its storytelling, but this is one major exception! fei and their system are explicitly DID, and pneuma are not. xc2 does a really good job incorporating the way their brain works and functions into its storytelling, without ever saying they are plural, traumatised or depressed. citan uzuki i swear to god ever hear of subtext man. this is probably something that is victim of mid localisation, but,, regardless, the version of xenogears we played used fei being plural as a plot device and did so while making the characters in that system stereotypical and harmful caricatures. pyra and mythra are really natural characters in terms of writing and the subtext is really good for the story and their character. they are important. fiona this girl has some kind of mental illness and we dont know what we just love them
