This footbridge was made somewhat famous by being featured in wintertime in Kimi no Na wa., and the rail bridge is also featured from this side in Tenki no Ko.

Fun fact, this is also the station closest to Shiina Taki's home, which is right across the bridge (to the left on this image) which this station is named after.

Makes me wonder if we're gonna have all Hololive Talents as Cars.

Love playing with my daughter 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Goku and reimu on the side 💀

Outfit based on post #5710094 by character designer Kawaguchi.

I happened to having just finished rewatching Unicorn when I got to this part of the story, and I'm not gonna lie that I internally shouted "UNICOOOOORNNNNN!!!" when this scene came on.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

PLEASE NO I BEG

The good end

anyone returning to this post or just finding it, look at the flower on the right. then look up "red spider lily symbolism". you'll be really happy about the very positive, very wonderful, and very kindhearted symbolism it has.

The hairstyle is called "트레머리" but I can't seem to find the english word for it.

What's bad about the writing? Every person has their personal path they either take or have to go through involuntarily. If I'm not wrong she was forced to be a girl, she fought against it in spite to those who forced her to be that way, later in life she realizes that she has pushed her true identity behind walls she tried to build around herself.

She wasn't "forced to be a girl" she was just told by her parents to act like one around other people so she wouldn't be sacrificed for being a bad omen. They never actually treated her like she wasn't a boy. She was perfectly fine living that way until she realized how much it was hurting her parents and anyone else in the same situation, so she resolved to prove that she could bring wealth to the village despite being a boy.

She succeeded at that and lived openly as a boy until she decided she didn't actually want to live that way. Being a boy only mattered for dispelling the village's superstitions around same sex twins, anyway, it was never actually what she wanted. It's a perfectly reasonable way to take the character.

Now, I will admit there are Bridget related plot points from the previous games that would have been nice to get an update on, and Bridget's Strive appearance does feel a bit hasty and haphazard in its implementation. That doesn't change that most of the people that cry about "bad writing" are just mad that she's technically not a femboy anymore, and with how they froth at the mouth over it its really hard to believe it's not rooted in some level of transphobia when the only thing that changed was which pronouns the character uses and nothing actually established that anything about her body has changed.

Also, like... sometimes people's feelings change with time? If that weren't the case, no one would ever be closeted. You can insist that you're a Manly Masculine Dude Guy for years, and then go through changes in environment and circumstance and realize that, hey, maybe I'd be happier if I tried something else. Not because you were wrong before, or lying, but because you felt one way in one situation, and feel another now that you're in a different situation.

Incredibly ironic that what made Bridget a fairly realistic depiction of many trans people (she didnt come out the womb knowing flat out, she lived parts of her life as something else, she came to a realization later in life) is what has people kicking and screaming and yelling BAD WRITING THO. That's a very realistic life story for many people, that one would know if they talked to like, two different trans people in their life maybe (do not talk to rl trans people if you're freaking out over Bridget Guilty Gear's pronouns).

Well, who cares what you "identify" as. You wanna know what you are? Look between your legs.

In that case you're either a dick or a cunt 🤣

Thank you for describing it better than me.
