Wrong
strong rampart
We had Ace
violet vortex
Half of the story feels like it was written by an entirely different person who doesn’t know how to even create emotions, logic, consistency, or fucking motive
People do things for a reason
strong rampart
And then he ||died||
violet vortex
People always have a reason for the why
young void
All my homies hate Kaltsit
strong rampart
Wtf
violet vortex
Now there is ofc times when someone doesn’t know the reason themselves
lofty apex
wym i like hag 
strong rampart
Why hate the hag
strong rampart
She has the cold calculating persona of a mad Doctor
young void
Kal is my equivalent of "not liking Paimon" in Arknights
strong rampart
violet vortex
Allerdale has no such semblance of anything close to a logical human being
young void
Every time she's on the screen she ruins the story for me
tribal thicket
Noelle just hates her monologues
violet vortex
And actually drove the plot in a worse direction as is
young void
Puts my ass to sleep and she rambles for like 2 hours about fucking nothing
tribal thicket
Younger Allerdale was actually a pretty decent human being
tribal thicket
Oh right grim
young void
What an absolute sleepchamp of a character
tribal thicket
Why the fuck did allerdale
violet vortex
However
tribal thicket
||betray them||
violet vortex
Allerdale did not make sense after this
tribal thicket
I never understood that part
violet vortex
She doesn’t make sense bambt
tribal thicket
Was she pussying out cuz of one of the dukes
violet vortex
This is why
strong rampart
I never understood that part
I have a gif to sum it up
tribal thicket
ah
violet vortex
She is hinted to have been in cahoots to fund things
strong rampart
violet vortex
However, she gained nothing from this exchange
Yet ultimately went through with itf
For no gain
She also resembles no actual allegiance either
So she isn’t a blind follower
So a character with 0 reason to do a thing, does a thing
But okay, sometimes that’s fine
But then they have a redemption arc
young void
Talulah is fine because she doesn't lead us on about OUR PAST and berate us for being A BAD PERSON BACK THEN and her monologuing actually has story substance unlike Kal who the writers are so aware of how infamous she's become for her monologs that they meme other people hating her for her said monologuing IN THE GAME
violet vortex
5 fucking minutes after the betrayal
violet vortex
Which is the dumbest thing I have ever seen
violet vortex
It doesn’t make sense
tribal thicket
violet vortex
She played both sides
Yet ultimately did it for no reason
No endgoal
And no reason
She not only is a failure of writing
tribal thicket
Her resolve was weak
violet vortex
She actively made every character she interacted with worse
tribal thicket
In the heat of the moment and with a few words
violet vortex
By virtue of existing alongside them
tribal thicket
And the steam knight waking up
violet vortex
This is not how people work man
violet vortex
A normal character
Would have one or two major things going on in their mind and resolve in that scene
tribal thicket
True
violet vortex
They would either go through with it, reluctantly
Or they would concede their initial plan
They wouldn’t however
tribal thicket
She even had her mercs with her too
violet vortex
Go through with it
Give the opponent a chance to defend themselves
Three times
Then change sides
And give themselves up
Within the span of 5 in universe minites
tribal thicket
yea thinking about it
Why the fuck did she sacrifice herself for someone she barely met
violet vortex
I want you to consider how nonsensical this is
tribal thicket
She knew of Siege but still
tribal thicket
She already had a plot against her
violet vortex
Said 8 slurs
Then said an apology 2 minutes later
That would be both out of character
tribal thicket
violet vortex
And make no sense
tribal thicket
Yea
Thinking more about it
She probably had a year for the plot
And then in the final moments she saved siege
Kinda anime level of insane
Man even stainless's granny's character
violet vortex
You know you already got me on it I’m just posting the whole play by play
tribal thicket
Was written better than her
She understood that work=survival even though they're basically killing off their fellow kinsmen

Paimon in Genshin = Amiya in AK
Simple mathematics, plus the need for a poster character supersedes all
violet vortex
||Ak lore is really good, the best in a gacha game imo. However the writing can sometimes be very mediocre in terms of getting its point across. This is seen the absolute most when in context the characters are supposed to be in a hurry, but they talk for what is in-universe several minutes about something they don’t have to be. This can lead to the reading growing impatient not through any fault of their own, but through the abundance of dialogue breaking immersion for what is happening & how characters should be reacting. An easy solution to this would make it seem like the characters are at least walking while talking.
Another issue is with getting a point across. A lot of ak dialogue suffers from using a lot of words to say very little, but then simultaneously not saying enough so that the reader still feels out of the loop. This can be through talking around a point several times over, or being overly descriptive about largely irrelevant things.||
violet vortex
||This problem is absolutely at its peak in the Siege/Glasglow/Allerdale section of the story. It was imo enough to really ruin the entire chapter for me. Lore wise and in terms of progression in the plot, chapter 11 is the most intense that it could get. A massive clash of extreme powers and several things happen or are implied to have happened that will have major ripples throughout the rest of the story going forward.
Then on the other side of this chapter is Siege & co, focusing largely on the lineage that Siege is owning upto due to the circumstances. This on its own is not a problem, and wasn’t a problem throughout chapter 10 in the slightest. However, Allerdale ruined everything. The chapter opens up with a backstory regarding Allerdale & the Steam Knights, meant to build intrigue in both. It was told well enough to succeed on this front, however this backstory took place right after chapter 10 was really getting interesting, making it a return to a calm before the storm. Afterwards & back to the present we get a bit more on Allerdale, now older and taken up a lot of the responsibilities you’d expect from how she was portrayed in the childhood backstory. This is rather inoffensive, but does lead to some overly speech-like dialogue out of characters she interacts with for no really good reason. On top of a trend that starts here in the chapter for characters constantly repeating their virtues & aspirations while talking bad towards titles (a central theme). We also see the maid who represents family & peace for Allerdale, a key character in her life. This is something that you’d think is more important than they end up doing with it.||
young void
name another 14 year old that's able to talk on the same level as Lungmen's leader 
lofty apex
wow, ben doesnt want a donkey to be based 
tribal thicket
And I thought she would have a bigger impact later on the story
violet vortex
||Fastforwarding now to the Steam Knight armor, she is willing to sell it. This is very important to her as shown to us by her backstory. However as a means to show her good character, she is willing to part with it for the good of the people. Siege and co rather smoothly bargain a win/win, allowing the armor to not be sold and for the mercs to be a help in the battles to come. We have some conflicts here and there and see Allerdale fighting the enemy with Siege and co, although barely. It only served to show that Allerdale can handle being underpressure and plan on the fly, but did little to show her battle prowess. Despite what seemed like little conflict, we cut to her needing to be bandaged by Siege. This is a oddly romantic coded moment given the circumstances, and is attempting to show Allerdale’s respect/love/care (however you choose to interpret it really) for Siege and what she represents. Siege then says she has her back & is willing to do what it takes to make sure everything is a-ok, but because of her, not the title she inherited (back to hating titles). Then we’re prompted a scene of reflection by Allerdale and her maid, her peace. Who is then burned alive by the big bad Vampire’s carnage along with the Steam armor. A very sudden turn of events where Allerdale shows weakness at the loss of her family, but then does an uncharacteristically fast change in tune, equating herself to a grunt for Siege as a member of her gang. This is the last moment where Allerdale is a decent character.||
tribal thicket
But was brought up abruptly and tossed aside
wanton stratus
What is even the point of Amiya’s character though?
violet vortex
||With the focus having been on the Sarkaz conflict for quite a long time we are treated to what is at first showing us the many layers to this plan being carried out. With Siege & co + Allerdale now going for the Sword that will do a lot of amazing things. We’re given this history lesson for the Sword — mostly by Allerdale — to let us know how important it truly is. The oddities start here where Siege, despite only knowing Allerdale for a handful of days, is treating her as one of her gang fully, unbridled trust and all. We don’t have a good reason to doubt her, but the story is giving Allerdale immense preferential treatment for dialogue. So much so that it is very easy to miss that the mercs are also with them, despite their presence not at all being made known here at first. For context, the fight on the other side of the plan is immense, some of the grandest things the ak main story has had. And Siege’s group knows this, yet are rooting themselves in place to stop and talk about Siege, Allerdale, the Sword, & titles again. Another stop happens at the gate, a very long stop that has Indra & Morgan split off to watch the exit, the far exit for whatever reason which lets the events to come transpire without their involvement. After talking for what feels like forever about the conflict that took place & the need to do this, they finally do it, open the gate. Which is then followed by a very, very, very long corridor. A corridor that they are not running through, not jogging through, but walking through. Despite the need for urgency given the situations going on above that they know are happening to some degree, they are also stopping again. At first, to bring up titles and have Siege be consoled by Allerdale. Then for the Steam Knights, who are revealed to have been betrayed. This is where Dagda gets some more characterization, alongside Totter, who is essentially attempting to speedrun morals and trust from Dagda & the reader.||

What is even the point of Amiya’s character though?
wdym, she's Faker. Unkillable Demon King
violet vortex
||Dagda also makes mention of how she has written about the adventures of hope about the Glasglow gang & the future, where Allerdale is apparently a key figure all of a sudden within it. After taking seemingly forever again, they reach close to the Sword, where Allerdale reveals that she is a traitor. If that seemed abrupt and made little sense to you; congratulations. You just experienced one of the most poorly done gotcha moments. With a lot of questions. Not out of intrigue, but sheer confusion. Like when exactly did she do this? Since the beginning? That makes little sense considering how events had to unfold. Since meeting everyone? That is odd considering her relationship with her maid and how she’d respond to this. Was she lying to her? Or was the maid in on it and just showed no remorse for the backstabbing? After the maid died? Well that is an extremely questionable point to plot a betrayal, both time wise for events, & narratively considering her new relationship with Siege. Regardless of the why and when, she is a traitor (later revealed for the big bad Reed’s sister who has no presence this chapter prior, but was obviously going to appear at some point again in the plot). With the upper hand mind you because it’s only Siege & Dagda (remember that Indra & Morgan are a really long ways away for no good reason). So what happens for our heroes? A Steam Knight appears. A 4 years abandoned, should be dead Steam Knight appears.||
||Who is very angry about the Sword being taken by the would be King of Victoria, because he’s gone crazy I guess. Or the reason given: The sword itself is his Victoria, whatever that means. So the Steam Knight, seemingly incapable of killing named characters, doesn’t actually protect the Sword in the end. Siege & co escape through the very long corridor with the help of instant teleportation, and Allerdale stays behind. Behind to confront her demon: the Steam Knight. A demon that she has because of the cruel fate that led her to being a traitor, the thing we just found out minutes prior. But now she’s redeeming herself of this status through needless self sacrifice.||

||Dagda also makes mention of how she has written about the adventures of hope a...
I’m not reading that, you deadass speaking like Kalt’sit now
violet vortex
||Following the escape aided by Indra & Morgan finally returning, everyone but Allerdale and some nameless mercs that no one cares about survived (Allerdale’s death is in no way confirmed, hinting either she planned this, or is just that cool). Siege got knocked out cold apparently to once again instant teleportation to a new scene. We’re also reminded that a major conflict was going on above ground. You may have forgotten that some of the most lore important events were transpiring alongside this by now. But now that we are at the calm, slow point nearing the end of this chapter; Siege makes sure to mention how noble & selfless Allerdale was to sacrifice herself for their escape. This is not to prevent unrest in the Corps Allerdale had been co-leading upto this point. But because Siege and the gang genuinely believe this. Making it apparent in Siege’s mind that she has atoned for her sins and combated fate, driving it home with the Steam Knight armor that was supposed to have burnt, surviving the fire.||
wanton stratus
💀
violet vortex
||This was for all intents and purposes, one of the biggest “writer’s favorite” characters that ak has ever produced. From lackluster showings, to oddly fast relationship building, to completely overtaking the majority of dialogue from other Glasglow members. She took all that was interesting about the Siege side of the story, & the Glasglow gang as a whole. And made it a girl’s fantasy about meeting your hero, and letting her down. Gone is the camaraderie of the Glasglow gang, now is the time of Allerdale x Siege, Glasglow approved. But it wasn’t enough that she hijacked this entire plotline, she also needed to have her fall from grace. A fall from grace that for us was about 15 minutes long, & in-universe maybe 5. Where she was able to then have her redemption arc, and subsequent praise from the many characters who adore her for when it came down to it, fighting for what’s right. Poorly paced, terribly executed, borderline fanfiction oc level writing that felt more akin to an advertisement interrupting the good part of the story. And is easily all of ak’s writing issues bundled up into one package.||

Unironically read all of Grim's stuff, he is le historian

Kal is annoying because she does basically what I said at the start in her talking as long as she does doesn’t make narrative sense often
young void
What I can take away is, the first spoilered part summarizes mostly of my issues with the writing
plain vessel
the reason I don't progress is not because it's hard but bcuz I want to read the story but am always too lazy to do so so it keeps on getting delayed
young void
and it is what has jaded me from AK writing over the past couple of years
violet vortex
However I’d take a room of Kal over 1 paimon

Kal is 1 annoying character who’s main issue is talking a lot
Paimon is 1 character who’s main issue is talking a lot except she says fuckall

About the part where they go get the story
While amiya and co were fighting for their lives

Kal says 8 paragraphs to make 1 point

They kept having long ass dialogues about old tales

Whenever your MC is in trouble, no matter the situation, Paimon is always there

It is confirmed he might as well have brittle bone syndrome in how some of these scenes describe his inability to move properly

The doctor also has such weak command over his people

He’s a barely 3rd in command

However in reality he is often a weak link

The doctor also has such weak command over his people
You meant his influence is purely cuz of Kal

In every conflict
And on top of this
He is often not considered necessary
For most things

ah good ol' Grim rants, been a while

Reunion lasted 8 chapters
And he was not present for the climax

@tribal thicket
tribal thicket
Infected poog
violet vortex
He isn’t needed for strategy
Cancer research
Fieldwork
You could say he’s just a really good businessman
But I have no expectations in combat
For the most experienced hr worker on the planet
strong rampart
Cancer? Lmfao
tribal thicket
Oripathy yes
violet vortex
His degree is probably written in crayon
hot rampart
arknights suffer from lacks of character development
doktah is one of the victim of this
arknights instead focus and wide range of characters to give them some spotlight
but the problem is theres too much character to focus on
this is the reason why AK story is lengthy
this doesnt include the world building exposition yet
also
do u guys ever read vigilo?
tribal thicket
Nope
violet vortex
The only difference
hot rampart
i see
tribal thicket
Greythroat had the best character development
violet vortex
Now he’s an inoffensive dumbass
tribal thicket
From what I read
tribal thicket
ToW helped her open her eyes a lot more
violet vortex
At least that makes the character interactions cooler
Or more enjoyable
Than this very nice guy talking to everyone
And people being in awe
While he does nothing
He’s like famous for being famous tier
Which is evident by even though he’s seemingly revered by everyone, he’s still a very weak 3rd in command at Rhodes Island
He holds less sway over the place than Amiya
It’s like I’m in a constant state of whiplash between how they talk about this dude
And how he is
I would respect him 10x more if he at least did things remotely
Because it would play better to his strengths, and remove the weakness of him being a non combatant that is always on the battlefield
hot rampart
i agree
violet vortex
Grand strategists in war aren’t next to foot soldiers
The only logical reason would be so he has a 1st person deep understanding of the battlefield as it happens
But even that is odd because he isn’t really doing that
He looks down at a command console
It’s like a dude on his phone in an environment
hot rampart
violet vortex
He’s there physically but not mentally
So he really has no reason to be there
All he does is divert resources
To people needing to protect him
wanton stratus
It’s like a dude on his phone in an environment
The meta subtext of us, the players, being on their screens while playing!@!1a1??1!1!
We live in society?!
violet vortex
Man must have great soundproofing
Game would be a lot harder to strategize in
If I was hearing bullets
Arrows
Chainsaws
Swords
Magic
In both ears
On full blast
While thinking about what to do
violet vortex
I would deactivate my wing glider if I had paimon around me
Because she is clearly not going to just leave if I say so
And she can’t physically do anything to prevent it anyways
violet vortex
Paimon balances my thoughts about other characters
hot rampart
do we ever see thats possible in AK
tribal thicket
do we ever see thats possible in AK
He has PRTS
violet vortex
Through ptrs
hot rampart
yes PRTS is the command console
tribal thicket
Which is only activated through him
hot rampart
in his hand
violet vortex
And when you click on a character
They acknowledge your command
That is not possible in person
What else could he be doing
hot rampart
can he really command remotely from say a very far away from the danger?
violet vortex
Yelling?
If the reason he needs to be there is because he’s on that gameboy lan cable then they should maybe fix this crucial problem first
violet vortex
Before trying to solve the world’s issues
hot rampart
which is why he has to be a liability in the battlefield
tribal thicket
hot rampart
i know
wanton stratus
If the reason he needs to be there is because he’s on that gameboy lan cable the...
He’s maximizing his network speed for gaming by using the fiber cables over wi-fi
violet vortex
This is why I don’t mind Kal as much you see
violet vortex
When she says Doctor is a terrible person and an idiot
I’m sitting there nodding my head
So true
hot rampart
the ones i see is literally just them being in the battlefield themselve
AK world is both advanced and not advanced at the same time
gunpowder is not a thing in AK
violet vortex
Imagine if you had to do military service
And they handed you a random civilian to protect
And you’re being pushed to the frontline
That’s the doctor
And for some
This civilian is like a dad to them
Imagine you had to protect your physically weak dad all the time while guns are being shot all over the place
And he’s there for no real tactical reason
violet vortex
Definitely isn’t helping
hot rampart
he just woke up from some sleep coma
device
its still stupid they have to lose a lot of shit just to save this guy tho
violet vortex
During the recent chapters what he has done is:
In the most convoluted way possible contact the resistance
Be the one to run for Amiya that was falling
Idk this doesn’t seem like a dude who needed to be there
Reserve op - Defender could’ve done this shit
wanton stratus
violet vortex
Yeah consider how many people died to save this dude
He must be really good at business management
Because it really is the only thing they make him seem good at doing in storylines
Any time they show him doing something else he seems either unnecessary or purely incompetent at the task
Can’t tell me this man is smart because he outright let an assassin almost kill him
Because he believed a person he’s known for like a week
Will guard him with her life
Like ???
strong rampart
its still stupid they have to lose a lot of shit just to save this guy tho
Like ||Ace||

Makes for the perfect self-insert, then
hot rampart
hot rampart
violet vortex
How about Outcast because Rhodes Island doesn’t believe in the buddy system
I’m sure Doctor thought of that one
Backup? Squad of at least 2? Nah
Solo operations sound fine in dangerous scouting missions
violet vortex
Outcast’s death was also comedically unnecessary
You telling me firing all shots at the same time triggers suicide?
Why not idk
Reload instead?
hot rampart
thats the main problem i have with it too
violet vortex
You never shot this gun 6 times before?
wanton stratus
Going on a solo mission is cooler than being cool, simply
hot rampart
its just not explained very well
violet vortex
The power doesn’t even make sense
hot rampart
she gonna
violet vortex
You’re telling me
hot rampart
hit by a beam of light
violet vortex
Someone that old
That experienced
That capable
Has never fought a group of goons
In groups of 6 before?
If she got approached by 6 slugs
Would she just die there too?
tribal thicket
You telling me firing all shots at the same time triggers suicide?
It was the convent
She made with Kal iirc
If she fires all 6 shots
violet vortex
Okay but consider this
tribal thicket
She dies in a beam of light
violet vortex
Then reloaded
violet vortex
Like idk
violet vortex
A normal fucking person would do in response to this information?
violet vortex
She hyped all those random ass goons up
tribal thicket
Something elites
violet vortex
Then one shotted all 6
tribal thicket
violet vortex
They were clearly not okay
violet vortex
You can leave 1 alive for 5 seconds
tribal thicket
Mandrake's goons
violet vortex
You’re a veteran sankta
violet vortex
They just wanted the character dead
violet vortex
How is she not dead yet then
hot rampart
hand to hand combat
violet vortex
She never shot 6 times in succession before?
hot rampart
idk
violet vortex
Why she carry this gun around
hot rampart
fairly likely
violet vortex
Useless piece of shit gun then
She was said to do collats too
Why not shoot 5 but hit em with a curve
tribal thicket
They just didnt want outcast to join IS3
violet vortex
For one of them
tribal thicket
I didnt really read Operation Intelligence
violet vortex
Sucks since she was cool
violet vortex
I like older veteran characters who have a goof backstory talking
hot rampart
but the way she die is just the most stupid shit possible
violet vortex
If a writer can’t make a character they created die properly I’m gonna judge that
She was created that same episode
Like
Maybe think things through man
On how you’re gonna kill them
quaint arch
Geez, you guys still talking?
hot rampart
no she wasnt
quaint arch
violet vortex
Okay, she was a major player mostly for that episode
hot rampart
in IS1
violet vortex
I didn’t play is1 I wouldn’t know this one
violet vortex
Maybe make the badass npc goon land the killing blow on her
hot rampart
unironically would have been better
violet vortex
And she takes them both out with a ray of light
It doesn’t make sense for her to instantly obliterate them then die to sunlight
violet vortex
It is the nighttime rn & I enjoy ranting from time to time
hot rampart
just becuz u dont care about lore doesnt mean its not enjoyable
violet vortex
Streamers aren’t the only people who enjoy talking you know
hot rampart
violet vortex
I like lore but I always prefer to add a little different lens to look at it through
Makes it more enjoyable for me
quaint arch
You welcome
violet vortex
Outcast just weirded me out as a now dead character
At least she isn’t allerdale
That gives me some peace
It’s really odd that they make these non playables as cool as they do in general
tribal thicket
violet vortex
Why is misery so op
hot rampart
allerdale body not found yet she still alive fr
hot rampart
violet vortex
The only & I mean only
tribal thicket
After all
violet vortex
Reason she can be alive and I’ll like it
hot rampart
also outcast death is just for misery to have his character development arc
tribal thicket
The lion foretold the future
tribal thicket
violet vortex
And this was all a ploy
violet vortex
Any scenario besides that
hot rampart
what if she actually beat the steamknight she was locked in with
and take control of it
violet vortex
Is just pure incompetent writing
sharp tartan
Steam armor guy not insane 
violet vortex
Like think about this how is this dude even alive
And why only 1 lived
Lets go with she’s a good actor
hot rampart
the indomitable human spirit of being inside a mecha
sharp tartan
That would be pog if they want to make steam armor dude playable 
tired gulch
Trapped with Charles Lynch
violet vortex
Anything is better than:
Glad we’re such good friends
Fuck you die bitch
I’m sorry, I’d die for you. In fact, I will
Over the span of 5 minutes
sharp tartan
hot rampart
violet vortex
Just scrap the whole character
Bad idea, in the past
Or make her a genius mastermind had it all planned
No inbetween
I already care so little about Siege and friends now
sharp tartan
Yes
hot rampart
she did
violet vortex
When there were mass weapons of destruction and sarkaz legends happening on the other side of the episode
tribal thicket
Ah
sharp tartan
Allerdale give it back
sharp tartan
When there were mass weapons of destruction and sarkaz legends happening on the ...
The scene with logos just one upping the sanguinarch 
hot rampart
yeah of all the things from this victoria arc
siege sideplot is literally the least fav part of it
violet vortex
Could’ve been good
Just remove allerdale
And it could’ve been okay
Maybe also idk
Sort events a bit better
When you show logos doing some insane shit
violet vortex
Then give me a weird slow moment of siege reflection afterwards
Gonna care a lot less
violet vortex
Don’t put your best moments right next to your worst
tribal thicket
It was a great buildup fight
violet vortex
That’s like putting your worst song in your greatest hits album
Track 7 my worst shit ever
sharp tartan
RI and theresis army doing insane shit and then siege just like
I'm walking for the past hour or some shit
tribal thicket
Siege chatting for the past half hour
violet vortex
And they’re just stopping
tribal thicket
While amiya and co were dying
violet vortex
And they expect the reader to be sitting there just happy about this
violet vortex
It’s like you paused the action for all this
violet vortex
All these legends
tribal thicket
Sanguinarch Vampire
violet vortex
And I got Allerdale’s adventures
hot rampart
naerzecher or something
violet vortex
These are the same people that wrote this event mind you
With a character like Rubio
This can’t have been the same writers
hot rampart
with how long ak story is it could be multiple people tbh
tribal thicket
Was*
sharp tartan
with how long ak story is it could be multiple people tbh
Well obv
hot rampart
Wasn't shining being the confessarius successor also revealed here

This is the energy I want to always possess
young void
See Arknights, don't have to make everyone a philosopher
violet vortex
And it’s really cool that he references both Biggie & Tupac
young void
tribal thicket
He has a tupac shirt doesnt he
violet vortex
Emperor, aka Big E
Tupac on his shirt
sharp tartan
My guy emperor just being a boss to everyone without giving a damn fuck
violet vortex
It’s not a real head scratcher two references
sharp tartan
Just drink some good shit and have a good time
violet vortex
sharp tartan
violet vortex
I love when a character has such a unique way of talking that you know exactly who it is
Without the name present
And really the whole event was just really good honestly
I think it shows that they can write really good things
They nailed most things that you’d want from an Italian mob story
And made it work in the universe
