[fic] overwhelming embraces

[AO3 link] Rating: E Relationships: Momo/Yuki Considering their questionable communication, acts of service are right near the top of the list of Re:vale's love languages. Their ideas of what constitutes an act of service might not entirely line up with the rest of the population's, but as long as they (mostly) line up with each other's, neither of them cares too much about that. (another two one-shots of yuki and momo getting up to spicy yet somehow emotional shenanigans) -- i return with more re:vale fic after significantly less of a break than the one between my previous two fics, because when i said the previous fic was cursing my ability to get anything else done i meant it. starting with just one chapter here, the other will be posted sometime later

So now that we’re super close to the end of Third Beat (and in particular have passed balcony which I was always going to have Thoughts about the adaptation of), I’m putting to text some thoughts I’ve had (positive and some a little negative) about Third Beat’s adaptation choices with both 28-29 and overall with Momo and a little bit with Yuki over the course of the season. There’s some stuff that had to be missed/skipped out on due to time constraints, which I do understand, but I do think some of it is really good to know so you could also consider this a bit of a shorthand crash course on stuff that’s a bit different for anime-onlies who are curious how things went down in the game. That said, I always rec reading the game story if you have time because a lot of Re:vale’s shenanigans have to get cut for time in the anime; Part 2 to Part 3 Chapter 10 and the rest of Part 3 were both done by translators on Tumblr. Dodge Part 3 Chapter 20 until next week if you don’t want spoilers and you’re all good. With that said, on to the ~meta~

you ever just psychologically tear down the villain so hard he decides offing you in a way that looks accidental is easier than trying not to be the worst human being on the planet

yes hello i have been Waiting for balcony to be animated since third beat was announced and troyca did not let me down on handcuffed momo absolutely ripping ryou a new one and verbally flipping him off when ryou decides he’s going to have momo murdered in retaliation for [checks notes] being told the harsh truth about how much of a coward he is so here are some brightened caps for your viewing pleasure because i had to amp my screen brightness almost to max for that scene

didn’t see anyone gifing re:vale’s wedding ceremony so here i am a week and a half late

torao sticks one toe into the ring with the big boys and immediately gets bodied out of it by momo

yuki even warned zool and yet they still decided to Find Out once more after this

troyca: hmm re:vale fans are missing out on the emotional distress this episode. can’t have that.
