Canon Review Voice notes

[personal profile] insinning 2023-07-18 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
Prologue:

Soft spoken, needs to be prodded by Rodya to introduce himself properly.
"I-Is...there anything else I need to say? I never worked for a company before..."
Youngest, the "kid", Rodya takes him under her wing so to speak, because she's the one with the least overt hangups (she kinda pokes at all the quiet ones)
Calls himself Sinclair, why does he not use his first name lfmasdpisdofi

(world stuff: Following the "star" is important. Demian mentions this as well in canto III. But what is the star? You need to engrave the aspect, but...

Was Demian always in the intro...

canto i review

[personal profile] insinning 2023-07-18 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
* Crying why are they all killing each other immediately. THANKS HEATHCLIFF, ISHAMEL, RYOSHU, DON QUIXOTE.
* That means Sinclair has just been STARING at this shit the entire time not saying a word
* BUT HE IS something of a good egg, he noticed Dante was in a lot of pain
"P-lease, wait! Dante looks like they're in a lot of pain, so we really should sh-.."

POOR SINCLAIR HE DID NOTHING WRONG HERe he just got his head caved in by heathcliff baby...THERE ARE NO AMAZIING REFLEXES HERE JUST DEATH he really is the weakest of the bunch...

...also the only one to actually thank Dante for bringing him back to life, lmao.

* VERY SHELTERED, he actually freaks out about Mephi and the way Ryoshu enjoys the show and tries to get Dante to agree with him that it's messed up.

On his recruitment: Sinclair's head dropped. "That's right. It was by my choice. I'll get used to all this...Right?"

* On finding Enkephalin at old lobcorp branches: "Oh, does that we don't have to...feed people into our vehicle?" he's a good boy...

HE'S TRYING SO HARD TO TEACH CHARON DIRECTIONS...EAST, WEST. "IT'S OK CHARON, WE CAN TURN AROUND AT THE NEXT JUNCTION..."

He is squeamish...

"I'm glad at least you learned to tell the difference between southeast and northeast, Charon" he's trying so hard to be polite and supportive to this smol bus driver but

He cries for Yuri it's so sad ;;

canto ii review

* People that Sinclair like to stick to: Dante, Don, Rodya, Gregor? (also future note: he fusses at yi sang when yi sang helps don cheat)
* Still very hesitant when asserting his opinion here. He is the first to want to help the shopkeeper but not good enough to assert himself yet.
* "O-Oh...That's what Ms. Outis has been thinking the entire time." Scary older women who will gut him like a fish get the most honorific of honorifics lmfsoas.
* Ryoshu senselessly breaks a chandelier and Sinclair is all "WELL IM GLAD NO ONE GOT HURT" lfmasoaso.
* "H-Heathcliff...that's too harsh" he's not wrong tho, sinclair.
* Faust: It's not technical perfection they want. They're looking for something unstable and unpolished, rather...*CAMERA ZOOMS INTO SINCLAIR sucks to be the maknae buddy.


Im never gonna stop crying over this

ASHES OF FLAME. HIS HEART IS FULL OF ANGUISH AND DESPAIR. ONLY HE CAN ROCK THE MARACCAS

He's glad the dancing helped him feel better tho.



a pure baby chick

his fucking face when rodya's like OH I JUST NEED TO BELIEVE IM THE MOST AWESOME PERSON IN THE WORLD you're so lucky you're his senior rodya goddamn

It took some time, but Sinclair is slowly decoding Ryoshu's riddles.

BARF = bREAK ALL THE REMAiNING FINGERs sobbing how did you even figure this out sinclair.

* people confirmed with the mark: Demian, Sonya and Sinclar. Sonya implied there were others but ??? I don't know if that was a way to obscure him talking about Sinclair exclusively tho or if he means a different mark

canto iii

[personal profile] insinning 2023-07-19 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
GOING BACK HOME BRINGS HORRIBLE HORRIBLE MEMORIEs. Not even his hometown tho, going into K Corp nest is misery inducing for him.

Rodya really does look out for the kiddo tho. Mersault does not.

Cries his complex PTSD is so bad - tremors, shaking, vomiting.

"Sinclair was sniffling, while Rodya and Gregor were comforting him" cries more.

Calw is Sinclair's home village and Sinclair moves into a complete nervous break down. No one can help him.

Also Verg is like, the only one to use Sinclair's first name lmfasoa.

"I'm sorry...I'll go help them." MURDER GAZE.

And now he's slowly moving from screaming fear to absolutely deranged murderous hatred.

i love my murder baby.

When he finally asks questions, he has no real social skills and is a bit too direct - Dante awkwardly fumbles and Sinclair gets embarrassed. A

*Shakily, Sinclair explains to Dante that he'll likely die many, many times over, as he's the least experienced fighter of the bunch. He apologises, but Dante, please take on that burden for him.

*declaration of "YOU'rE MY MANAGER DANTE, CLOCKHEAD OR NOT".

Awwwww.

* 3-16: Despite everything, Sinclair is innately in tune with his home town and knows instantly when something has been disturbed. He realises the graves had been dug up. Which means, even though he ran away originally, he went back to put his family to rest. cries.

Sinclair listens to Kromer laugh and gloat over the corpses of his family, neighbours, friends and then Effie was tortured and hung up for amusement and a slow agonising death.

Ah. Something breaks. Die, die, die die Kromer.

* Formation of murderbaby is complete C:

* JUST MURDER THAT FUCKING INQUISITOR SINCLAIR. WHERE DID THAT POWER COME FROM, HEATHCLIFF DEMANDs.

Rage, Heathcliff. RAGE.

* (Cries, I love how much these stupid sinners do come to care for dante in their broken twisted way. HE'S STILL HUMAN TO THEM ASSHOLE)

* "I still think sometimes...that this is all a bad dream.

It always comes...Every morning, before I open my eyes...

Maybe this time...I'll wake up and see my familiar ceiling...just maybe."

It only made sense to wait for him to settle down.

(I really love that Rodya's the one to genuinely connect to Sinclair, even though Don lay him out with a beating to bring him back to his senses. She's lost similarly, and it's her fault too. So, she understands.)

canto iii cont'd

[personal profile] insinning 2023-07-20 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
>"It's like how magnetic fields draw a compass needle northward...I was brought here by intuition."

Faust makes a noise of surprise. Sinclair's face grows dark as he tells Faust.

"Isn't that what it is? You're bringing us along to use as sensors for the Boughs."

Sinclair is overshadowed by the intelligence of the geniuses Faust and Yi Sang, and the worldly military knowledge/tactics of Outis and Mersault, but he is sharp and educated. Things like these don't escape him. He's just young and prone to wanting to believe in the best of people, even after he suffered what he did.

(The belief in people probably stayed alive because of Demian. Besides, aside from Kromer, only he was to blame, really. He caused this)

> Honestly, coming back to this chapter and really getting in deep really warms me to a lot of the characters again.


> Everyone is unconscious, or near dying. But Sinclair still picks himself back up to drive a nail into Guido's back. It doesn't do much. But he's protected Dante.

"No...I'm not running anymore."

Saude likes that answer.

Sinclair does not like the fact he has to walk away and let Saude die for them.

> Sinclair really didn't like school much. LMAO

"When you take a closer look, these merry interactions are brimming with envy, vainglory, pride and guile. Children are crafty creatures.

I grow more anxious with each story a classmate shares. I grow anxious. What can I share? Their expecting eyes pointed at me felt like they could turn into scoffing leers at any moment.

I knew for sure I'd become an outcast the moment they looked away."

Poor anxious baby Sinclair.

> AND THEN FUCKING KROMER. Run baby sinclair, run.

> He really loved his family. They were so kind and supportive...if only he had the courage to speak to them and say no.

>Boring engineering class (basics in engineering??)

>DEMIAN

> Demian told Sinclair "When you fear someone...it's because you gave them the power to have control over you."

>Demian: I didn't want Kromer to domineer over you, so I killed her.
> also demian "I want to see you bare"

> Bruh.

> Ok real talk tho, what did sinclair see aand WHY DOES EVERYONE CALL HIM SINCLAIR?? EVEN HIS OWN FAMILY?


>EVERYTHING SUCKS AND IS SUFFERING. Kromer wanted to make Sinclair nervous and broken. But Sinclair rose above that, eventually.

His first real smile. ;w;
