oldĀ modernverseĀ wasĀ renĀ becomingĀ aĀ streamerĀ asĀ anĀ allegoryĀ forĀ followersĀ ofĀ aĀ socialĀ mediaĀ personalityĀ beingĀ akinĀ toĀ followersĀ ofĀ aĀ godĀ āĀ withĀ aĀ deconstructionĀ ofĀ bothĀ parasocialĀ relationshipsĀ andĀ relyingĀ onĀ theĀ attentionĀ ofĀ anonymousĀ strangersĀ toĀ fulfillĀ one'sĀ needĀ forĀ validation.Ā (Ā evenĀ atĀ theĀ costĀ ofĀ personalĀ comfort,Ā privacyĀ andĀ reducingĀ oneselfĀ toĀ aĀ product.Ā )
newĀ modernverseĀ isĀ justĀ āĀ momĀ didn'tĀ loveĀ meĀ soĀ iĀ investedĀ inĀ bitcoinĀ āĀ withĀ aĀ sideĀ ofĀ thatĀ awkwardĀ momentĀ whenĀ theĀ criminalsĀ youĀ agreeĀ toĀ workĀ forĀ turnĀ outĀ toĀ actuallyĀ beĀ criminalsĀ doingĀ criminalĀ thingsĀ andĀ fakingĀ yourĀ ownĀ deathĀ isĀ easierĀ thanĀ handingĀ inĀ aĀ resignationĀ notice.

theĀ objectivelyĀ mostĀ importantĀ pieceĀ ofĀ modernverseĀ loreĀ isĀ renĀ havingĀ aĀ "pet"Ā succulentĀ plantĀ calledĀ huhĀ āĀ becauseĀ someoneĀ askedĀ himĀ whatĀ heĀ wasĀ goingĀ toĀ nameĀ itĀ andĀ heĀ repliedĀ "huh"Ā (Ā inĀ confusionĀ )Ā andĀ itĀ endedĀ upĀ sticking.
itĀ mayĀ actuallyĀ beĀ aĀ fakeĀ plant.Ā heĀ isn'tĀ sure;Ā heĀ doesn'tĀ knowĀ enoughĀ aboutĀ succulentsĀ toĀ check.Ā heĀ justĀ watersĀ itĀ occasionallyĀ andĀ hopesĀ forĀ theĀ best.

alsoĀ asĀ aĀ followĀ upĀ toĀ thatĀ lastĀ unbearablyĀ longĀ postĀ fromĀ lastĀ nightĀ āĀ aĀ handfulĀ ofĀ miscellaneousĀ MODERNĀ AUĀ headcanons,Ā whichĀ isĀ incrediblyĀ selfĀ indulgentĀ butĀ iĀ wantĀ toĀ yapĀ aboutĀ theĀ menace.
renĀ knowsĀ howĀ toĀ pickĀ locksĀ andĀ hotwireĀ carsĀ āĀ however,Ā heĀ specificallyĀ learnedĀ toĀ doĀ theseĀ thingsĀ byĀ watchingĀ youtubeĀ videosĀ whenĀ heĀ wasĀ bored. genuinely his only motivation at the time was that it sounded cool.Ā heĀ technicallyĀ neverĀ actuallyĀ gotĀ hisĀ driver'sĀ licenseĀ beforeĀ fakingĀ hisĀ ownĀ death,Ā thoughĀ heĀ didĀ knowĀ howĀ toĀ driveĀ andĀ wouldĀ occasionallyĀ driveĀ illegallyĀ ifĀ circumstancesĀ warrantedĀ it.Ā heĀ hasĀ aĀ licenseĀ nowĀ āĀ butĀ it'sĀ notĀ actuallyĀ real.Ā (Ā predominantlyĀ justĀ thereĀ toĀ serveĀ asĀ aĀ formĀ ofĀ identificationĀ ifĀ heĀ needsĀ it.Ā )Ā itĀ doesn'tĀ particularlyĀ matterĀ becauseĀ heĀ doesn'tĀ ownĀ aĀ vehicleĀ anyway.
enjoysĀ parkourĀ andĀ generallyĀ climbingĀ placesĀ heĀ shouldn't.Ā trees.Ā buildings.Ā thisĀ getsĀ aĀ lotĀ ofĀ mileageĀ withĀ hisĀ aforementionedĀ lockĀ pickingĀ talentĀ āĀ testingĀ yourĀ homeĀ securityĀ isĀ aĀ loveĀ language.Ā probably.Ā heĀ hasĀ zeroĀ boundaries.
everyĀ versionĀ ofĀ renĀ tendsĀ toĀ beĀ veryĀ emotional,Ā butĀ modernĀ renĀ inĀ particularĀ isĀ especiallyĀ volatileĀ andĀ proneĀ toĀ actingĀ out.Ā he'sĀ onlyĀ twentyĀ fourĀ āĀ comparedĀ toĀ canonĀ ren,Ā whoĀ isĀ nearlyĀ fiveĀ hundred.Ā heĀ isn'tĀ necessarilyĀ hotheaded,Ā butĀ heĀ lacksĀ muchĀ ofĀ hisĀ mainverseĀ counterpart'sĀ self-controlĀ andĀ senseĀ ofĀ worldliness.Ā quickerĀ toĀ snap,Ā quickerĀ toĀ lashĀ out.Ā heĀ willĀ occasionallyĀ raiseĀ hisĀ voiceĀ andĀ evenĀ curseĀ āĀ whichĀ isĀ generallyĀ somethingĀ youĀ wouldĀ neverĀ seeĀ puppetĀ renĀ do.Ā (Ā heĀ muchĀ prefersĀ toĀ verballyĀ eviscerateĀ throughĀ clever,Ā cuttingĀ remarksĀ thanĀ tiredĀ expletives.Ā )Ā he'sĀ stillĀ ren,Ā he'sĀ stillĀ mentallyĀ anĀ adultĀ āĀ he'sĀ justĀ muchĀ lessĀ mature,Ā muchĀ lessĀ world-wearyĀ andĀ muchĀ MOREĀ rawĀ whenĀ thingsĀ aren'tĀ goingĀ hisĀ way.
stillĀ enjoysĀ theatre,Ā danceĀ andĀ performativeĀ swordplayĀ evenĀ ifĀ heĀ isn'tĀ anĀ activeĀ participantĀ theseĀ days.
actsĀ inĀ aĀ wayĀ thatĀ mightĀ leadĀ oneĀ toĀ believeĀ heĀ hasĀ someĀ degreeĀ ofĀ agoraphobiaĀ orĀ socialĀ anxiety,Ā butĀ theĀ truthĀ isĀ heĀ hasĀ aĀ veryĀ goodĀ reasonĀ toĀ beĀ paranoidĀ inĀ public.Ā renĀ doesĀ genuinelyĀ haveĀ (Ā undiagnosedĀ )Ā depressionĀ andĀ hasĀ beenĀ sufferingĀ fromĀ insomniaĀ sinceĀ heĀ wasĀ roughlyĀ fourteenĀ orĀ so.Ā he'sĀ longĀ sinceĀ givenĀ upĀ onĀ tryingĀ toĀ doĀ anythingĀ aboutĀ itĀ andĀ triesĀ toĀ compensateĀ byĀ grabbingĀ whatĀ sparseĀ hoursĀ ofĀ sleepĀ heĀ possiblyĀ canĀ āĀ thenĀ substitutingĀ theĀ restĀ withĀ copiousĀ amountsĀ ofĀ caffeine.
noĀ petsĀ beyondĀ theĀ neighborhoodĀ catsĀ he'llĀ neverĀ admitĀ toĀ feeding,Ā butĀ heĀ doesĀ haveĀ aĀ succulentĀ plant.
secretlyĀ monitorsĀ theĀ socialĀ mediaĀ accountsĀ ofĀ hisĀ friendsĀ andĀ familyĀ members.Ā sendsĀ veryĀ ominousĀ anonymousĀ messagesĀ toĀ anyĀ internetĀ strangersĀ foolishĀ enoughĀ toĀ harassĀ them.Ā āĀ yourĀ ipĀ addressĀ isĀ ā ā ā ā ā Ā andĀ yourĀ currentĀ locationĀ isĀ ā ā ā ā ā .Ā doĀ yourselfĀ aĀ favorĀ andĀ stopĀ talking.Ā āĀ he'sĀ terrible.Ā heĀ alsoĀ purposefullyĀ doesn'tĀ tellĀ anyoneĀ heĀ feelsĀ protectiveĀ overĀ whatĀ he'sĀ doingĀ behindĀ theĀ scenesĀ āĀ andĀ inĀ general,Ā heĀ hasĀ canonĀ ren'sĀ tendencyĀ toĀ refuseĀ toĀ shareĀ anythingĀ butĀ theĀ mostĀ necessaryĀ scrapsĀ ofĀ informationĀ withĀ otherĀ people.
similarly,Ā renĀ knowsĀ moreĀ aboutĀ theĀ murderĀ mysteryĀ currentlyĀ atĀ theĀ centerĀ ofĀ theĀ auĀ thanĀ mostĀ ofĀ theĀ musesĀ involvedĀ āĀ butĀ doesn'tĀ wantĀ toĀ revealĀ hisĀ findingsĀ becauseĀ he'sĀ tryingĀ toĀ protectĀ hisĀ family.Ā heĀ alsoĀ carriesĀ theĀ unfortunateĀ familyĀ traitĀ ofĀ tryingĀ toĀ shoulderĀ everyĀ issueĀ byĀ himself.
tattoosĀ thatĀ resembleĀ kintsugiĀ onĀ hisĀ leftĀ armĀ andĀ rightĀ leg.Ā tongueĀ isĀ pierced.Ā bothĀ earlobesĀ areĀ pierced;Ā heĀ alwaysĀ wearsĀ anĀ earringĀ thatĀ resemblesĀ aĀ small,Ā goldenĀ featherĀ inĀ hisĀ leftĀ earĀ andĀ hasĀ anĀ industrialĀ piercingĀ onĀ thatĀ sideĀ asĀ well.Ā keepsĀ hisĀ nailsĀ paintedĀ andĀ eyeshadowĀ onĀ practicallyĀ atĀ allĀ timesĀ āĀ notĀ forĀ anyĀ particularĀ reasonĀ beyondĀ itĀ beingĀ aĀ relativelyĀ simpleĀ andĀ easyĀ toĀ maintainĀ actĀ ofĀ selfĀ careĀ thatĀ makesĀ himĀ feelĀ good.
doesn'tĀ haveĀ hisĀ hatĀ inĀ thisĀ verse,Ā butĀ heĀ doesĀ wearĀ aĀ jacketĀ withĀ aĀ largeĀ hoodĀ heĀ canĀ useĀ toĀ coverĀ hisĀ faceĀ thatĀ effectivelyĀ servesĀ theĀ sameĀ purpose.

MODERNĀ AU:Ā AĀ SUMMARY.Ā ... otherwiseĀ knownĀ asĀ theĀ verseĀ currentlyĀ takingĀ upĀ massiveĀ amountsĀ ofĀ myĀ brainĀ realĀ estate.
i'veĀ alwaysĀ likedĀ toĀ useĀ theĀ metaphorĀ thatĀ irminsulĀ isĀ aĀ computerĀ āĀ orĀ really,Ā anĀ equivalentĀ ofĀ wikipediaĀ whereĀ theĀ informationĀ currentlyĀ recordedĀ onĀ itĀ isĀ pagesĀ isĀ reflectedĀ inĀ theĀ memoriesĀ ofĀ theĀ peopleĀ ofĀ teyvat.Ā thatĀ byĀ erasingĀ himself,Ā scaramoucheĀ effectivelyĀ hackedĀ intoĀ irminsulĀ andĀ deletedĀ hisĀ page.Ā myĀ favoriteĀ thingĀ aboutĀ comingĀ upĀ withĀ alternateĀ universesĀ forĀ musesĀ isĀ takingĀ whatĀ foundationĀ canonĀ providesĀ usĀ andĀ seeingĀ howĀ iĀ canĀ translateĀ itĀ intoĀ aĀ differentĀ settingĀ āĀ soĀ forĀ theĀ purposesĀ ofĀ modernverse,Ā renĀ isĀ aĀ hacker.Ā specifically,Ā theĀ criminalĀ sortĀ (Ā blackĀ hat,Ā noĀ punĀ intendedĀ )Ā specializingĀ inĀ identityĀ theft,Ā blackmailĀ andĀ soĀ on.Ā stealingĀ yourĀ personalĀ informationĀ andĀ sellingĀ itĀ toĀ theĀ highestĀ bidderĀ āĀ andĀ that'sĀ assumingĀ heĀ doesn'tĀ haveĀ anĀ ulteriorĀ motiveĀ toĀ extortĀ youĀ himself.Ā inĀ hisĀ spareĀ time,Ā heĀ likesĀ toĀ codeĀ ransomware,Ā makeĀ programsĀ toĀ automateĀ sendingĀ andĀ respondingĀ toĀ spamĀ emails, etc etc.Ā (Ā passiveĀ income.Ā )
hisĀ upbringingĀ wasĀ generallyĀ quiteĀ lonely.Ā hisĀ motherĀ andĀ auntĀ wereĀ closeĀ āĀ andĀ heĀ grewĀ upĀ closeĀ withĀ hisĀ cousinĀ inĀ turn,Ā butĀ theĀ majorityĀ ofĀ hisĀ timeĀ wasĀ spentĀ beingĀ leftĀ largelyĀ toĀ hisĀ ownĀ devices.Ā iĀ thinkĀ heĀ wasĀ oneĀ ofĀ thoseĀ kidsĀ whoĀ wereĀ raisedĀ byĀ theĀ internet,Ā andĀ that'sĀ generallyĀ whereĀ hisĀ fascinationĀ withĀ technologyĀ firstĀ beganĀ toĀ takeĀ root.Ā heĀ wasĀ probablyĀ theĀ sortĀ ofĀ bratĀ whoĀ wouldĀ hackĀ intoĀ yourĀ neopetsĀ accountĀ toĀ stealĀ allĀ ofĀ yourĀ neopointsĀ andĀ valuableĀ items.Ā relativelyĀ innocentĀ crimesĀ inĀ theĀ grandĀ schemeĀ ofĀ things,Ā butĀ itĀ certainlyĀ compelledĀ himĀ toĀ beginĀ thinkingĀ ofĀ cybersecurityĀ inĀ aĀ veryĀ particularĀ wayĀ āĀ likeĀ aĀ puzzleĀ heĀ couldĀ solveĀ ifĀ heĀ wasĀ upĀ toĀ theĀ CHALLENGE.
aroundĀ theĀ sameĀ time,Ā heĀ wasĀ stillĀ preoccupiedĀ withĀ chasingĀ hisĀ mother'sĀ approval.Ā heĀ wouldĀ tryĀ hisĀ bestĀ toĀ moldĀ himselfĀ afterĀ makotoĀ (Ā consciouslyĀ andĀ subconsciouslyĀ )Ā inĀ theĀ hopesĀ thatĀ resemblingĀ someoneĀ heĀ knewĀ sheĀ lovedĀ wouldĀ compelĀ hisĀ motherĀ toĀ loveĀ himĀ asĀ aĀ result.Ā diligentlyĀ studyingĀ dance,Ā growingĀ outĀ hisĀ hair.Ā anything,Ā anythingĀ toĀ winĀ herĀ validation.Ā itĀ didn'tĀ workĀ āĀ eiĀ remainedĀ asĀ distantĀ asĀ ever.Ā he neverĀ understoodĀ whyĀ hisĀ motherĀ alwaysĀ keptĀ himĀ atĀ arm'sĀ length,Ā butĀ theĀ olderĀ heĀ grew,Ā theĀ lessĀ heĀ couldĀ stomachĀ it.
andĀ eventually,Ā heĀ reachedĀ hisĀ breakingĀ point.Ā droppingĀ dance,Ā cuttingĀ hisĀ hairĀ āĀ oh,Ā andĀ didĀ heĀ mentionĀ he'sĀ aĀ boy?Ā (Ā hisĀ nameĀ isĀ kunikuzushi.Ā )Ā sheddingĀ theĀ proverbialĀ shacklesĀ keepingĀ himĀ tetheredĀ toĀ hisĀ desperateĀ pursuitĀ ofĀ ei'sĀ approval,Ā kuniĀ delvedĀ wholeheartedlyĀ intoĀ hisĀ ownĀ interests.Ā asĀ itĀ turnedĀ out,Ā heĀ wasĀ somethingĀ ofĀ aĀ prodigy.Ā aĀ natural.Ā aĀ threat.Ā heĀ clungĀ toĀ hisĀ talentsĀ forĀ theĀ validationĀ heĀ wasn'tĀ gettingĀ atĀ homeĀ āĀ theyĀ madeĀ himĀ feelĀ powerful,Ā important,Ā worthĀ something.Ā evenĀ ifĀ itĀ cameĀ atĀ theĀ costĀ ofĀ takingĀ advantageĀ ofĀ otherĀ people.Ā thatĀ wasĀ justĀ theĀ wayĀ thisĀ worldĀ worked,Ā wasn'tĀ it?
he'sĀ inĀ hisĀ lateĀ teensĀ whenĀ auntĀ makotoĀ diesĀ underĀ MYSTERIOUSĀ CIRCUMSTANCES.Ā hisĀ entireĀ familyĀ fallsĀ apart,Ā unravelingĀ likeĀ aĀ poorlyĀ knitĀ sweater.Ā it'sĀ notĀ tooĀ longĀ afterĀ thatĀ kunikuzushiĀ receivesĀ aĀ veryĀ peculiar ...Ā jobĀ offer,Ā soĀ toĀ speak.
theĀ fatuiĀ areĀ aĀ dangerousĀ bunch.Ā thoughĀ theyĀ maintainĀ aĀ relativelyĀ cordialĀ publicĀ image,Ā behindĀ theĀ scenesĀ theyĀ areĀ downrightĀ viciousĀ inĀ theirĀ bidsĀ forĀ power.Ā it'sĀ aĀ veryĀ poorlyĀ keptĀ secret;Ā everyoneĀ knowsĀ theyĀ haveĀ illĀ intentionsĀ āĀ yetĀ noĀ oneĀ canĀ seemĀ toĀ pinĀ theirĀ criminalĀ activitiesĀ onĀ themĀ inĀ suchĀ aĀ wayĀ thatĀ theyĀ mightĀ beĀ heldĀ accountable.Ā kunikuzushiĀ quickyĀ becomesĀ anĀ invaluableĀ asset.Ā hisĀ particularĀ skillsetĀ allowsĀ themĀ toĀ pointĀ himĀ inĀ theĀ directionĀ ofĀ anyĀ prospectiveĀ threatsĀ andĀ digĀ upĀ anyĀ informationĀ thatĀ couldĀ potentiallyĀ beĀ usedĀ asĀ blackmail.Ā sometimesĀ it'sĀ simple;Ā evidenceĀ ofĀ infidelity,Ā skeletonsĀ inĀ theĀ closet.Ā however,Ā notĀ everyoneĀ kuniĀ targetsĀ dabblesĀ inĀ sordidĀ affairsĀ behindĀ closedĀ doorsĀ āĀ andĀ forĀ thoseĀ unfortunateĀ souls,Ā heĀ needsĀ toĀ getĀ aĀ littleĀ moreĀ creative.Ā crackingĀ intoĀ bankĀ accounts,Ā collectingĀ socialĀ securityĀ numbersĀ andĀ otherĀ piecesĀ ofĀ personalĀ information.Ā ifĀ allĀ elseĀ fails,Ā heĀ isn'tĀ opposedĀ toĀ deliberatelyĀ plantingĀ evidenceĀ theĀ fatuiĀ canĀ threatenĀ toĀ leak.Ā heĀ viciouslyĀ ruinsĀ countlessĀ livesĀ overĀ theĀ nextĀ fewĀ yearsĀ āĀ butĀ heĀ doesn'tĀ care,Ā becauseĀ heĀ feelsĀ usefulĀ andĀ powerful.Ā moreĀ thanĀ heĀ everĀ hasĀ before.
itĀ allĀ comesĀ crumblingĀ downĀ whenĀ anĀ anonymousĀ messageĀ nudgesĀ himĀ toĀ lookĀ intoĀ hisĀ employers.Ā thatĀ theyĀ aren'tĀ beingĀ entirelyĀ HONESTĀ withĀ him.Ā kuniĀ regardsĀ itĀ withĀ skepticismĀ atĀ first,Ā butĀ eventuallyĀ decidesĀ toĀ humorĀ itĀ āĀ andĀ whatĀ heĀ doesĀ discoverĀ changesĀ everything.
theĀ fatuiĀ areĀ responsibleĀ forĀ makoto'sĀ death.
theĀ fatuiĀ areĀ responsibleĀ forĀ makoto'sĀ death ...Ā andĀ they'veĀ beenĀ playingĀ himĀ forĀ aĀ FOOLĀ thisĀ entireĀ time.
consideringĀ theĀ holeĀ he'sĀ dugĀ himselfĀ into,Ā kunikuzushiĀ knowsĀ heĀ can'tĀ simplyĀ quit.Ā evenĀ ifĀ heĀ wereĀ toĀ runĀ away,Ā theĀ fatuiĀ couldĀ simplyĀ targetĀ hisĀ familyĀ membersĀ outĀ ofĀ spiteĀ āĀ andĀ thoughĀ hisĀ relationshipĀ withĀ hisĀ motherĀ isĀ rocky,Ā kaminariĀ isĀ someoneĀ heĀ genuinelyĀ caresĀ aboutĀ whoĀ doesn'tĀ deserveĀ toĀ beĀ draggedĀ downĀ byĀ hisĀ stupidĀ mistakes.
soĀ kuniĀ decidesĀ toĀ eraseĀ himself.Ā heĀ fakesĀ hisĀ ownĀ deathĀ āĀ anĀ electricalĀ fireĀ inĀ hisĀ wire-filledĀ apartment.Ā aĀ corpseĀ tooĀ burntĀ toĀ retainĀ anyĀ recognizableĀ details.Ā fortunately,Ā anĀ anonymousĀ tipĀ stopsĀ theĀ flameĀ fromĀ spreadingĀ beforeĀ anyĀ otherĀ livesĀ areĀ claimedĀ byĀ theĀ blazeĀ āĀ butĀ kunikuzushiĀ isĀ declaredĀ dead,Ā andĀ lifeĀ goesĀ on.
untilĀ sixĀ monthsĀ later,Ā whenĀ aĀ familiarĀ faceĀ showsĀ upĀ onĀ kaminari'sĀ doorstep ...Ā callingĀ himselfĀ ren.

thereĀ isĀ SUCHĀ aĀ dichotomyĀ betweenĀ theĀ personaĀ modernverseĀ renĀ playsĀ upĀ onĀ hisĀ streamsĀ (Ā andĀ socialĀ mediaĀ )Ā andĀ hisĀ actualĀ self.Ā thatĀ isn'tĀ toĀ sayĀ there'sĀ notĀ someĀ degreeĀ ofĀ overlapĀ āĀ becauseĀ thereĀ is.Ā hisĀ sharpĀ tongue,Ā hisĀ bluntĀ personality,Ā hisĀ senseĀ ofĀ humor.Ā you'reĀ inevitablyĀ goingĀ toĀ putĀ upĀ withĀ allĀ threeĀ regardlessĀ ofĀ whetherĀ you'reĀ dealingĀ withĀ himĀ inĀ personĀ orĀ behindĀ aĀ screen.Ā butĀ whenĀ heĀ streams,Ā ren'sĀ soleĀ goalĀ aboveĀ allĀ elseĀ isĀ theĀ VALIDATIONĀ ofĀ hisĀ viewers.Ā heĀ wantsĀ attentionĀ āĀ heĀ wantsĀ approval.Ā (Ā andĀ yes,Ā itĀ isĀ superĀ unhealthy!Ā thanksĀ forĀ asking!Ā )Ā soĀ theĀ versionĀ ofĀ himselfĀ thatĀ heĀ shows,Ā whileĀ stillĀ quiteĀ bratty,Ā isĀ purposefullyĀ gearedĀ towardsĀ beingĀ moreĀ palatable.Ā prioritizingĀ entertainmentĀ overĀ displayingĀ theĀ fullĀ extentĀ ofĀ hisĀ raw,Ā uglyĀ emotions.Ā andĀ thatĀ isn'tĀ evenĀ touchingĀ onĀ toĀ whatĀ degreeĀ heĀ objectifiesĀ himselfĀ āĀ becauseĀ heĀ knowsĀ he'sĀ attractive,Ā andĀ heĀ knowsĀ heĀ canĀ useĀ thatĀ toĀ garnerĀ moreĀ attention, more money, more followers.
thisĀ isĀ inĀ contrastĀ toĀ theĀ versionĀ ofĀ renĀ completelyĀ detachedĀ fromĀ hisĀ fakeĀ internetĀ persona.Ā he'sĀ much,Ā MUCHĀ moreĀ subduedĀ byĀ comparisonĀ āĀ stillĀ asĀ snarkyĀ asĀ ever,Ā thoughĀ inĀ aĀ farĀ lessĀ glamorizedĀ way.Ā (Ā notĀ soĀ muchĀ forĀ entertainmentĀ asĀ heĀ isĀ lashingĀ outĀ likeĀ aĀ woundedĀ animal.Ā )Ā he'sĀ quiet;Ā oftĀ speakingĀ inĀ short,Ā curtĀ phrases.Ā whatĀ energyĀ heĀ hasĀ comesĀ inĀ fleetingĀ bursts.Ā depressionĀ andĀ insomniaĀ leaveĀ himĀ withĀ aĀ near-permanentĀ senseĀ ofĀ lingeringĀ EXHAUSTION,Ā evenĀ ifĀ heĀ hasn'tĀ doneĀ muchĀ toĀ warrantĀ it.Ā heĀ isn'tĀ shy,Ā butĀ heĀ definitelyĀ givesĀ offĀ theĀ impressionĀ ofĀ someoneĀ deeplyĀ uncomfortableĀ inĀ whateverĀ socialĀ situationĀ he'sĀ foundĀ himselfĀ forcedĀ intoĀ atĀ anyĀ givenĀ moment ā and that isn't when he's not just purposefully vanishing into the background. your local introvert wants to go home now.
hisĀ intenseĀ discomfortĀ inĀ publicĀ isĀ compoundedĀ byĀ theĀ factĀ thatĀ heĀ spentĀ theĀ betterĀ partĀ ofĀ twoĀ yearsĀ hardlyĀ everĀ leavingĀ hisĀ apartmentĀ afterĀ theĀ au'sĀ versionĀ ofĀ tatarasunaĀ more or lessĀ strippedĀ awayĀ nearlyĀ everyĀ lovedĀ oneĀ heĀ had.Ā it'sĀ takenĀ anotherĀ twoĀ beforeĀ he'sĀ beenĀ ableĀ toĀ startĀ goingĀ outsideĀ again,Ā evenĀ inĀ smallĀ bursts.
understandably,Ā it'sĀ justĀ aĀ bitĀ jarringĀ toĀ seeĀ oneĀ sideĀ ofĀ himĀ whenĀ you'reĀ onlyĀ familiarĀ withĀ theĀ other.Ā aĀ livingĀ CONTRADICTIONĀ āĀ thoughĀ heĀ admittedlyĀ isĀ inĀ mostĀ verses.

HERE WE GOĀ āĀ theĀ longĀ awaitedĀ renĀ modernverseĀ postĀ thatĀ iĀ totallyĀ haven'tĀ beenĀ procrastinatingĀ onĀ forĀ ages.Ā (Ā iĀ have.Ā )Ā i'mĀ goingĀ toĀ doĀ aĀ veryĀ generalĀ overviewĀ ofĀ theĀ AUĀ here,Ā becauseĀ there'sĀ aĀ lotĀ ofĀ littleĀ interconnectingĀ partsĀ andĀ headcanons and backstories ( as well as development over discord )Ā involvingĀ otherĀ musesĀ andĀ iĀ reallyĀ don'tĀ wantĀ toĀ stepĀ onĀ anyĀ toesĀ orĀ necessitateĀ aĀ tonĀ ofĀ requiredĀ reading.Ā justĀ aĀ brief *Ā summaryĀ toĀ makeĀ interactingĀ easier.
( * not brief, i can never keep anything short. )
renĀ wasĀ bornĀ veryĀ shortlyĀ afterĀ makoto'sĀ deathĀ toĀ aĀ motherĀ understandablyĀ wrackedĀ withĀ grief.Ā thoughĀ theyĀ hadĀ littleĀ familyĀ toĀ speakĀ of,Ā theyĀ wereĀ quiteĀ wellĀ offĀ financiallyĀ āĀ owingĀ toĀ ei'sĀ statusĀ asĀ theĀ ceoĀ ofĀ aĀ prolificĀ powerĀ company.Ā asĀ aĀ wayĀ toĀ forceĀ someĀ senseĀ ofĀ normalcy,Ā toĀ copeĀ withĀ both theĀ lossĀ asĀ wellĀ asĀ herĀ child'sĀ eerieĀ resemblanceĀ toĀ herĀ departedĀ twin,Ā eiĀ threwĀ herselfĀ bodyĀ andĀ soulĀ intoĀ herĀ work.Ā thisĀ meantĀ theĀ majorityĀ ofĀ ren'sĀ childhoodĀ wasĀ spentĀ completelyĀ alone,Ā andĀ thoughĀ heĀ neverĀ hadĀ anyĀ reasonĀ toĀ wantĀ forĀ muchĀ materially,Ā heĀ wasĀ stillĀ quiteĀ miserableĀ andĀ desperateĀ forĀ affection.Ā heĀ wouldĀ doĀ whateverĀ heĀ couldĀ toĀ possiblyĀ gainĀ theĀ ATTENTIONĀ heĀ cravedĀ āĀ culminatingĀ inĀ takingĀ upĀ anĀ interestĀ inĀ dance,Ā ofĀ allĀ things.Ā heĀ hadĀ believedĀ ifĀ heĀ couldĀ onlyĀ findĀ oneĀ thingĀ thatĀ heĀ wasĀ reallyĀ goodĀ at,Ā andĀ honeĀ thatĀ skillĀ untilĀ heĀ wasĀ utterlyĀ PERFECT,Ā perhapsĀ thenĀ hisĀ motherĀ wouldĀ beĀ impressedĀ enoughĀ toĀ acknowledgeĀ him.
unfortunately,Ā thingsĀ didn'tĀ goĀ accordingĀ toĀ plan.Ā heĀ wasĀ talentedĀ āĀ incrediblyĀ so,Ā andĀ heĀ certainlyĀ wasn'tĀ lackingĀ inĀ ENTHUSIASMĀ forĀ theĀ art.Ā thoughĀ heĀ receivedĀ praiseĀ andĀ recognition,Ā heĀ wasĀ neverĀ ableĀ toĀ getĀ itĀ fromĀ theĀ oneĀ personĀ heĀ wasĀ mostĀ desperateĀ toĀ hearĀ from.Ā (Ā justĀ sayĀ you'reĀ proud.Ā justĀ rememberĀ iĀ EXIST.Ā )Ā ultimatelyĀ thisĀ ledĀ toĀ aĀ lotĀ ofĀ deeplyĀ unhealthyĀ resentmentĀ towardsĀ hisĀ mother.Ā asĀ aĀ result,Ā renĀ focusedĀ lessĀ onĀ theĀ individualĀ andĀ moreĀ onĀ theĀ crowdĀ āĀ obsessingĀ overĀ gainingĀ theĀ adorationĀ ofĀ theĀ masses.Ā someoneĀ pleaseĀ loveĀ him.Ā someoneĀ pleaseĀ payĀ attentionĀ toĀ him. he moved out of his childhood home as soon as he was able, and tried to turn his talent into a genuine career.
whileĀ heĀ didĀ seeĀ success,Ā itĀ wasn'tĀ withoutĀ itsĀ downsides.Ā immenseĀ strainĀ onĀ hisĀ body.Ā repeatedĀ injuries.Ā heĀ hurtĀ himselfĀ āĀ overĀ andĀ overĀ andĀ overĀ again, then kept going regardless.Ā pushingĀ himselfĀ toĀ anĀ UNHEALTHYĀ degreeĀ thatĀ couldĀ haveĀ veryĀ wellĀ ledĀ toĀ permanentĀ injuryĀ had itĀ beenĀ allowedĀ toĀ go on.
however,Ā aĀ certainĀ incidentĀ whenĀ heĀ wasĀ twentyĀ ledĀ toĀ theĀ deathĀ ofĀ nearlyĀ everyoneĀ heĀ lovedĀ āĀ andĀ inĀ hisĀ grief,Ā renĀ couldĀ noĀ longerĀ musterĀ theĀ willĀ toĀ continue.
heĀ spentĀ overĀ aĀ yearĀ languishingĀ inĀ aĀ veryĀ deepĀ DEPRESSION,Ā onlyĀ everĀ putting forthĀ theĀ effortĀ toĀ pretendĀ heĀ isn'tĀ completelyĀ inĀ shamblesĀ inĀ frontĀ ofĀ farrow,Ā taiyangĀ andĀ anhe.Ā inĀ time,Ā heĀ eventuallyĀ stumbledĀ uponĀ theĀ worldĀ ofĀ STREAMINGĀ āĀ andĀ whileĀ itĀ wasĀ neverĀ hisĀ intentionĀ toĀ makeĀ aĀ bigĀ dealĀ outĀ ofĀ it,Ā renĀ decidedĀ toĀ giveĀ itĀ aĀ go.Ā heĀ usedĀ hisĀ streamsĀ mostlyĀ asĀ anĀ opportunityĀ toĀ ventĀ hisĀ frustrationsĀ inĀ aĀ somewhatĀ healthyĀ wayĀ āĀ doingĀ somethingĀ heĀ genuinelyĀ enjoyedĀ (Ā gamingĀ )Ā whileĀ takingĀ outĀ hisĀ wealthĀ ofĀ angerĀ onĀ theĀ teammatesĀ andĀ enemiesĀ alikeĀ whoĀ irritatedĀ him.Ā itĀ wasĀ moreĀ likeĀ anĀ unconventionalĀ formĀ ofĀ videoĀ diary.Ā however,Ā byĀ someĀ strangeĀ strokeĀ ofĀ luck,Ā heĀ actuallyĀ beganĀ cultivatingĀ anĀ audience.
hisĀ prettyĀ faceĀ wasĀ enoughĀ toĀ drawĀ peopleĀ inĀ āĀ yetĀ someĀ decidedĀ toĀ stayĀ forĀ theĀ entertainmentĀ hisĀ sharpĀ tongueĀ provided.Ā asĀ hisĀ popularityĀ grew,Ā ren'sĀ despairĀ simmeredĀ toĀ aĀ moreĀ manageableĀ state.Ā instead,Ā heĀ foundĀ himselfĀ slippingĀ backĀ intoĀ aĀ familiarĀ (Ā toxicĀ )Ā mindset.Ā valuingĀ hisĀ self-worthĀ entirelyĀ onĀ whatĀ otherĀ peopleĀ thoughtĀ ofĀ him,Ā howĀ muchĀ ofļæ½ļæ½ theirĀ attentionĀ heĀ couldĀ command,Ā howĀ muchĀ moneyĀ heĀ couldĀ earnĀ fromĀ theirĀ affection.Ā he'sĀ receivedĀ aĀ fairĀ bitĀ ofĀ criticismĀ forĀ hisĀ cultivatingĀ ofĀ aĀ distinctlyĀ PARASOCIALĀ relationshipĀ withĀ hisĀ fanbaseĀ āĀ butĀ theĀ truthĀ is,Ā renĀ needsĀ theĀ recognitionĀ ofĀ hisĀ followersĀ justĀ asĀ muchĀ asĀ theyĀ craveĀ recognitionĀ fromĀ him.
MISC HEADCANONS UNDER THE CUT ...
he'sĀ twentyĀ fourĀ byĀ default;Ā he'sĀ beenĀ streamingĀ forĀ aboutĀ threeĀ years.
farrow is a mod on his streams.
his username is technically ā wanderer, Ā ā but he'll also answer to ren ā and a lot of his fans do just default to calling him ren.
heĀ oftenĀ getsĀ justĀ asĀ muchĀ hateĀ asĀ heĀ doesĀ positivity,Ā butĀ heĀ doesn'tĀ reallyĀ careĀ becauseĀ negativeĀ publicityĀ isĀ stillĀ publicity.Ā someoneĀ onceĀ triedĀ toĀ cancelĀ himĀ onĀ twitterĀ overĀ hisĀ nastyĀ personalityĀ andĀ heĀ heldĀ anĀ officialĀ #wandererisoverpartyĀ onĀ streamĀ whereĀ heĀ readĀ outĀ hateĀ tweets with genuine delight.
he isn't the most popular content creator, but he has enough of a following to comfortably pay his half of the apartment's rent and have a line of merch.
ren only ever really leaves the apartment to go on walks through nature or swing through his favorite coffee shop. or break into heizou's house and rearrange the furniture.
doesn't drink often, but has an absurd alcohol tolerance when he does.
he suffers from horrible insomnia and actively has to hide his dark circles with makeup. he tries to compensate by drinking massive amounts of caffeine ā which, while effective, has left him with a dependency that gives him splitting headaches whenever he skips out on his tea or coffee.
swears a lot more than canon ren. which is to say, he actually swears at all. in general, the way he speaks and holds himself is more relaxed in comparison ā because he has had a rough life, but not to the extent of canon ren, and not for nearly as long.
dresses differently when he's walking around casually verses when he's streaming.
he tends to prefer either pvp games where he can spin his irritation with others into a source of entertainment or calm singleplayer games like minecraft or stardew valley where he can just vibe.
his tongue and both ears are pierced ā the left with an additional industrial piercing.
shares his apartment with kazuha! they are boyfriends.
he also has a number of tattoos. some resemble canon ren's markings, others look almost as though his body has been repaired with kintsugi.

anonymous &&. said... There's a tiktok going around about how a lot of captcha's tell if something is a bot by how much of a straight line the mouse moves in. Would Ren be able to pass the captcha test, if he was still an automaton in modern verse?
iĀ feelĀ likeĀ there'sĀ aĀ fewĀ differentĀ waysĀ youĀ couldĀ potentiallyĀ tackleĀ thisĀ questionĀ āĀ ofĀ courseĀ iĀ thinkĀ theĀ immediateĀ assumptionĀ (Ā orĀ jokeĀ )Ā wouldĀ beĀ thatĀ he'dĀ probablyĀ struggleĀ toĀ completeĀ it,Ā becauseĀ whileĀ heĀ technicallyĀ isn'tĀ aĀ robot,Ā he'sĀ robot-adjacentĀ enoughĀ toĀ stillĀ qualify.
however,Ā despiteĀ beingĀ aĀ puppet,Ā renĀ isĀ incredibly human.Ā thisĀ isĀ oneĀ ofĀ theĀ coreĀ pointsĀ ofĀ hisĀ characterĀ āĀ heartĀ orĀ noĀ heart,Ā eiĀ accidentallyĀ createdĀ anĀ entireĀ thinkingĀ andĀ feelingĀ personĀ withĀ aĀ distinctĀ senseĀ ofĀ self.Ā biologicallyĀ speaking,Ā heĀ hasĀ hisĀ quirks,Ā butĀ heĀ isn'tĀ aĀ puppetĀ inĀ theĀ senseĀ thatĀ he'sĀ aĀ justĀ sentientĀ pieceĀ ofĀ carvedĀ wood.Ā heĀ bleeds,Ā heĀ cries,Ā heĀ hasĀ bonesĀ andĀ someĀ semblanceĀ ofĀ organsĀ āĀ evenĀ ifĀ hisĀ internalĀ anatomyĀ isĀ wildlyĀ differentĀ comparedĀ toĀ anĀ ordinaryĀ human.Ā he'sĀ mostĀ definitelyĀ aĀ person,Ā despiteĀ whatĀ heĀ mightĀ sayĀ toĀ theĀ contraryĀ andĀ despiteĀ whatĀ he'sĀ beenĀ ledĀ toĀ believe.Ā goingĀ byĀ thatĀ logic,Ā iĀ thinkĀ ifĀ heĀ wereĀ forcedĀ toĀ completeĀ aĀ captchaĀ heĀ wouldĀ probablyĀ beĀ ableĀ toĀ realisticallyĀ passĀ itĀ withĀ noĀ significantĀ issuesĀ āĀ orĀ rather,Ā heĀ wouldn'tĀ haveĀ moreĀ troubleĀ thanĀ anyoneĀ else.
...Ā whichĀ bringsĀ meĀ toĀ theĀ thirdĀ andĀ finalĀ option.Ā renĀ justĀ reallyĀ sucksĀ atĀ captchas.
he'sĀ terribleĀ atĀ them.Ā heĀ thinksĀ they'reĀ irritatingĀ andĀ haveĀ aĀ propensityĀ forĀ poppingĀ upĀ atĀ theĀ mostĀ inconvenientĀ possibleĀ timeĀ āĀ usuallyĀ whenĀ he'sĀ inĀ theĀ middleĀ ofĀ somethingĀ else,Ā soĀ heĀ triesĀ toĀ speedĀ throughĀ themĀ andĀ makesĀ simpleĀ mistakes ...Ā andĀ endsĀ upĀ havingĀ toĀ redoĀ themĀ overĀ andĀ overĀ againĀ asĀ aĀ result.Ā (Ā whichĀ inevitablyĀ endsĀ inĀ aĀ viciousĀ cycleĀ āĀ rushing,Ā mistakes,Ā repeat.Ā )Ā itĀ doesn'tĀ matterĀ whetherĀ thisĀ isĀ vanillaĀ modernĀ renĀ orĀ anĀ offshootĀ ofĀ modernĀ whereĀ he'sĀ stillĀ aĀ puppet;Ā it'sĀ aĀ personalityĀ issueĀ ratherĀ thanĀ howĀ heĀ movesĀ theĀ mouseĀ orĀ whetherĀ he'sĀ capableĀ ofĀ solvingĀ aĀ simpleĀ puzzle. they are the bane of his existence and to add insult to injury, his chat probably makes fun of him for it.

curioĀ isĀ veryĀ funnyĀ becauseĀ he'sĀ aĀ perfectĀ mixĀ betweenĀ scaramoucheĀ andĀ theĀ kabukimono.Ā soĀ onĀ oneĀ hand,Ā heĀ hasĀ aĀ somewhatĀ naĆÆve, somewhat shelteredĀ understandingĀ ofĀ theĀ worldĀ āĀ butĀ onĀ theĀ other,Ā he'sĀ filledĀ withĀ maliceĀ andĀ aĀ desireĀ toĀ takeĀ itĀ outĀ onĀ thoseĀ heĀ deemsĀ responsible.Ā theĀ endĀ resultĀ isĀ anĀ immortal,Ā unkillableĀ cryptidĀ withĀ aĀ tasteĀ forĀ pettyĀ crimeĀ andĀ absolutelyĀ noĀ regardĀ forĀ theĀ consequences.Ā heĀ doesn'tĀ knowĀ theĀ lawĀ andĀ heĀ doesn'tĀ wantĀ to.

ren'sĀ aliasĀ /Ā usernameĀ inĀ modernverseĀ isĀ stillĀ "WANDERER"Ā āĀ thoughĀ heĀ willĀ stillĀ answerĀ toĀ hisĀ actualĀ name,Ā andĀ mostĀ ofĀ hisĀ fansĀ tendĀ toĀ useĀ theĀ twoĀ interchangeably.Ā theĀ officialĀ storyĀ isĀ simplyĀ thatĀ heĀ likedĀ theĀ soundĀ ofĀ itĀ āĀ whichĀ isĀ true.Ā however,Ā there'sĀ alsoĀ aĀ moreĀ personalĀ (Ā innocentĀ )Ā meaningĀ toĀ theĀ moniker.Ā whileĀ mostĀ childrenĀ wereĀ enamoredĀ withĀ fantasiesĀ ofĀ growingĀ upĀ toĀ becomeĀ astronauts,Ā celebrities,Ā doctorsĀ andĀ theĀ like,Ā renĀ justĀ wantedĀ theĀ FREEDOMĀ toĀ seeĀ theĀ world.Ā heĀ wasĀ farĀ lessĀ jadedĀ atĀ theĀ time;Ā filledĀ withĀ rose-tintedĀ ideasĀ ofĀ aĀ lifeĀ livedĀ whileĀ wanderingĀ aimlesslyĀ āĀ ofĀ finallyĀ escapingĀ theĀ lonelyĀ homeĀ muchĀ ofĀ hisĀ youthĀ wasĀ spentĀ wastingĀ awayĀ in.
thatĀ dreamĀ quicklyĀ diedĀ asĀ soonĀ asĀ heĀ wasĀ oldĀ enoughĀ toĀ realizeĀ itĀ wasn'tĀ feasibleĀ āĀ orĀ REALISTIC,Ā forĀ thatĀ matter.Ā yetĀ heĀ stillĀ clingsĀ toĀ theĀ name.Ā perhapsĀ outĀ ofĀ someĀ unspokenĀ tendernessĀ forĀ hisĀ pastĀ self.Ā perhapsĀ asĀ hisĀ wayĀ ofĀ payingĀ homageĀ toĀ thatĀ childhoodĀ dream.Ā heĀ certainlyĀ won'tĀ offerĀ anyĀ answers.

curio Ā is Ā the Ā funniest Ā era Ā of Ā scrunkly Ā because Ā on Ā one Ā hand Ā he Ā still Ā maintains Ā enough Ā innocent Ā wonder Ā about Ā the Ā world Ā to Ā scramble Ā up Ā trees Ā and Ā get Ā outwardly Ā excited Ā about Ā new Ā things, Ā but Ā he Ā also Ā bitterly Ā hates Ā everyone Ā besides Ā one Ā specific Ā automaton Ā and Ā lacks Ā the Ā ability Ā to Ā do Ā much Ā about Ā it Ā beyond Ā accidentally Ā become Ā the Ā subject Ā of Ā countless Ā urban Ā legends. Ā and Ā occasionally Ā get Ā arrested.

whenever someone has the NERVE to touch him, he has to fight the impulse to sink his teeth into their hand. one day, he won't catch it in time! perhaps it will even be on PURPOSE.
