@@baconknightproductions8297 hylics 1 quote nice

I've been listening to this a lot recently, and something I can't overlook is how sad this theme feels to me compared to the other three cast members. Wayne is definitely tragic, because his song represents an actual endless cycle of fighting gibby forever, dedusmuln theme feels like what the excitment of going out to explore the world feels like, and pongorma is this heavy, hard hitting song with this "hey I used to be with the bad guy, but now here I am to kick ass and chew gum" sort of feel. What they all have in common, is that they all get you pretty pumped up-- but then there's somsnosa's theme. It doesn't feel heroic, it doesn't get you pumped.. It feels like what you'd hear at the end of the world, or if you were the last remaining person in the world. It just has this depressing feel to it that the other themes do not have-- and I LOVE IT. I'm not really good at analyzing music, but this is what this song feels to me. It just feels like wandering around an empty, unfamiliar place, all alone, with nobody at your side. But simultaneously, some parts of the song make it feel like you're not truly alone. I had read somewhere that Somsnosa was the last member of her species-- I haven't played Hylics 2, and have yet to finish Hylics, but if this is true, then this song perfectly captures this feeling!

Something about 4:33 just hits... different. It feels like the mindest of a character who is painfully aware of their sad spot in life, yet also coming to accept it as something beyond their control, thus seeing no reason to fight it. They just go through the motions, every day is the same and it sucks, but it could also be worse. And that's where they're at. Change isn't impossible for them, but unlikely.

Bruh, you didnt need to descrive cronic depresion NOR give me another character to mirror with (I AM NOT CRYING YOU ARE!...)

Really dig that light wailing sound that carries through the mid-point of the track. It sounds like she's singing! This one's easily the most mellow of the jams. When I think about Somsnosa's theme back in Hylics 1, I always found it to be relaxing but also kinda sad in a way. At least when taking into consideration how upset she before she joins your party. This track by contrast sounds a lot more uplifting. Makes me think that Soms is in a better state of mind during and after the events of Hylics 2.

Damn this song is great. Playing through Hylics 1 I immediately thought in my mind that Somsnosa was the brawler type, with her getting huge amounts of mightiness off converting bugs and fighting with gauntlets. That being said this theme and her laid back lifestyle in Hylics 2 made it click for me that Somsnosa is probably more of the calm easy going type. I mean even in Hylics 1 her introduction has her idly moping about her lost gauntlets and if Wayne refuses to help she says it's "fine". I headcanon her as a lowkey type of person that never takes things too intensely or seriously. Probably prone to idleness and depression, but ultimately taking life in as it is and enjoying it at her own pace.
