i swear this angel encapsulates everything so loathsome about the rebuilds. all the original angels can be reduced to a two or three-word diminutive, ie ‘screaming blue octahedron’, ‘penis monster’, ‘glowing rope’, ‘computer virus’ etc, which is really something remarkable at least from a conceptual design perspective. meanwhile this asshole is so frantically gratuitous IN FORM AND FUNCTION that it escapes adequate description. i couldn’t even begin to explain this angel if i tried. ‘stilt walking clockwork spider with pinpoint ice powers’ (feat. tiny sachiel head?) what’s worse, it took not even 35 seconds to defeat this thing, with a single roundhouse kick no less. sad!
“People SHOULD be doubted. Many people misunderstand this concept. Doubting people is just a part of getting to know them. What many people call ‘trust’ is really just giving up on trying to understand others, and that very act is far worse than doubting. It is actually ‘apathy.’”
