I spent about a month writing this. It's a 13k-word essay that uses a mix of humor and dramatic flair to tackle the subjects of escapism, gender, memes, philosophy, and the meaning of life or whatever, inspired by my time playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. It also attempts to answer questions like "Is Marche the bad guy?" once and for all.

(It uses some experimental grammar that I have been fooling around with, but overall I think it's very easy to follow, although a long long read.)

If you read it in full, and it made you feel something, let me know either here or PM or on Mastodon or via email.

Thanks.
