Human Nature is (Not) Hopeless: A Dive into Swan Song (2005) (Patreon Cut)

In 2005, FlyingShine released Swan Song - a visual novel that at first looks like any other disaster story. But within it is hope for humanity, sympathy for the unwanted, and a call for empathy. It's time for a revisit, 20 years later.

. . . Ok so I’m definitely the “baby bird” in this scenario. I tend to watch your videos, regurgitated and modified, and not read what they’re based on. As in, your content is how I consume most VN related stuff. And, you know what, maybe that’s ok. It’s tasty and nutritious for someone young like me, helping me grow into a person that can take flight and change the world for the better. . . . Ok, maybe I’m taking the baby bird metaphor too far. But… thank you. I’m in a dark period of my life right now, and I thank you wholeheartedly for giving me hope, giving me encouragement to follow my dreams. . . . Most people aren’t monsters. I don’t think I’m a monster, no matter how much I call myself one or how much society screams at me that I am one. All I want to do is to grow, to bear fruit that can save those starving. I want to save people. I want to be me. I want so bad it hurts. I want to bring everyone else with me on my journey. . . . Sorry, probably getting a bit parasocial. Anyway, thanks. May you sink into your Truths, and help others find their Path. . . . I hope that made sense lol
