Sometimes I wonder if the Touchstarved team reads all the unhinged shit we spew and is like "WHAT HAVE WE DONE ?" 🙄

[future-ph3nix]

Well, well, well…

I guess my lost sibling theory is back to haunt me after all. 🙃

I mean, look at the dimples.

So here’s a song.

Ty again @aressapereaude for the illuminating rant. ☺️

Some thoughts on Mhin from Touchstarved because I'm a bit insane today!

I can't stop thinking about this. RedSpringStudio revealed in one of their tumblr posts that Lovent was the first city lost to Fogfall. Possibly even the first place the Fogfall descended. They've also stated that humans have gone through the shroud, there are just no document cases of them surviving.

The key word here is DOCUMENTED. As in, having records of it. And we know some records have been destroyed by the Senobium, or by other people.

How old is Mhin? And what exactly are they? If Mhin is from Lovent like this implies then they must be insanely old. And if they escaped the carnage but gained a curse in the process, does that imply that some of the monsters were people? What if the Soulless are people that were taken into the shroud and changed? What if that's how Mhin got their curse? Half transformed, but not all the way, just in time to break free and flee?

That must have been horrible.

Also, the fact that monsters (and angels cough cough Kuras) can have intercourse with humans..? Do they breed? Are they capable of reproducing? MC was born with their curse, "not quite monster, not quite human." What the fuck is going on???? I'm so confused in the best way possible. I have so many thoughts and NONE of them make sense, but when I put them all in a pile together, lopsided and creased they form a picture and I don't know what it is yet but I can see the outlines and shading of something that ever so slightly almost makes sense.

I'm freaking tf out.

OMG, see???

[future-ph3nix]

Ok, it’s brainrot time !

I’m sorry (not), but I really need to get this out of my system right now.

So, 2 months ago I posted this crazy theory on reddit (that I now believe to be wrong, thanks to actually SANE people existing in this fandom):

But I’m back to thinking I might have been onto something. A hidden connection, whatever it might be.

Because, AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL, there’s a purposeful play on symmetry here, between the tattoo and the scar :

Also, green and red are fucking complementary colors.

And also, I still think they look uncannily similar.

RSS doesn’t do coincidences.

That’s it. Goodnight.

Welp, at least my inspiration just took a huge boost 🙃

Ais's scar serves as a memento of his first day in the human realm, a stark reminder of all that can be lost. His gang imparted a lesson he’ll never forget, and he returned the favor in kind.

[future-ph3nix]

Deeeeep breath.

WHY IS HIS FUCKING TATTOO ON HIS FACE TOO NOW???

Quick smiley Leander for emotional support

Uncoloured sketch under the cut cause I like it

[future-ph3nix]

Leander’s song of the day is Beth Hart’s slightly darker version of Melody Gardot’s Your heart is as black as night. 🎶 🖤

[future-ph3nix]

French person here. Leander was born on June 21st. In France, it’s the day of "la fête de la musique". And as a musician, this gives me life. Plus, lore says he sings too. 🥰

‘K, I think I need to sleep now.

please read Schematic Influence it’s my fave TS fic and Oxy writes marvellously

you wrote at the end of your post-demo route series (loved it a lot btw, I've reread it multiple times!) that you're open to recommendations, would you consider writing ais x reader x vere, whether it's immediately post-demo or later on in the route? I have no specific ideas, just that I'd love to see you write them!

howdy~! very glad you enjoy the post-demo route continuations!! they were incredibly fun to write, even if some of them *cough* vere and mhin *cough* gave me some trouble <3

and yes, always open to recommendations!! :D

i have written a smidgen of ais x reader x vere in Schematic Influence (chapters 2 & 3 ish, then it gets tossed to the side pretty quickly in favor of plot lol) but i could definitely stand to write some more!

thank you for the recommendation! i'll let it simmer in the ol noggin and see what shakes out!!

[future-ph3nix]

Just stumbled on this random quote on IG, and wanted to say : if anyone in the fandom wrote anything using it, I WOULD EAT IT UP !

[future-ph3nix]

Some words of encouragement from Ais to whoever needs this for today. <3

[future-ph3nix]

I reaaaally hope so. Pls, I love him 🥹

Rss is making the leander/monika parallels a bit too obvious for my taste,, which means that the subversion of the yandere trope is gonna be huge🧐

[future-ph3nix]

Please excuse him, he’s a little off his rocker at the moment. He’ll be fine.

[future-ph3nix]

👀

Just Leander 🙂

[future-ph3nix]

Ok, what’s up with THAT?? (Leander)

I just realized, MC’s reaction after touching Leander’s face sounds a bit… excessive?

Okay, they’re thrilled by the experience and want to touch him more but the description of their feelings reminds me of someone who’s about to faint or have a panic attack.

Am I reading too much into it or is there something going on?
