Question: why do people refer to Tobias in Megamorphs 4 as a "quasi-voluntary" controller? I don't have access to my copy right now but I don't recall anything that would imply he had any knowledge of what he was joining/cooperated in any way? Did I miss something?

So I call Tobias quasi-voluntary, because I think — from my read of MM4 — that Tobias is about as voluntary as any "voluntary controller" ever gets. Which is not that voluntary. Tobias goes to a Sharing meeting because Jake's there, but pretty soon he gets sucked into the cycle of love-bombing: "When you attend your second meeting of The Sharing they assign you a guide" (MM4). In Tobias's case it's a guy named Bill, a few years older, who spends every meeting praising Tobias, and talking up how the Sharing cured his depression and being a full member changed his life.

Bill waits for Tobias to say "I want to be a full member." And then he asks if Tobias is sure, and Tobias says "Yes." Bill presses all the way to "You trade a little bit of freedom for a lot of belonging" and gets Tobias to agree a third time. When the time comes for the "ceremony" (infestation), Chapman makes Tobias explain why he's joining, and Tobias does. Three more times Chapman asks, and three more times Tobias says, out loud, that he wants what's going to happen next. Chapman explains why they want Tobias's consent: "We only have problems in twenty-one percent of willing members. And there are... fewer incidents of contested control." Tobias withdraws consent when he realizes they're about to put a slug in his brain, but by then it's too late.

Later Tobias says "Most painful of all was the image of myself swallowing everything the Sharing told me. I had walked, willingly, to my own destruction. At the time I'd seen no alternatives." So is Tobias voluntary? Well, is Chapman voluntary? He agrees not to resist in exchange for Melissa not being recruited, and he keeps his end of the bargain (#2). Not only does he not fight back while there's a yeerk in his brain, but there's every possibility he's one of the people allowing the yeerk to slip out of their brain and then quietly walking to go wait in the break room without supervision.

Okay, but surely the taxxons are voluntary. They chose to ally with the yeerks... Only it turns out their options were ally with the yeerks or starve to death (#53), and just because their leaders chose the yeerks doesn't mean individual taxxons were okay with it (Andalite Chronicles).

But then, we all know Taylor is voluntary. Because she gave up her freedom for little old things like... relief from pain. And escape from discrimination. And basic health care that didn't cost her family their life savings (#33). And she could never change her mind, because she got punished by Sub-Visser Fifty-One for misbehaving (#43).

But Mr. Tidwell's definitely voluntary. He chooses to have a yeerk in his brain even after joining the YPM. Only he was so depressed he couldn't take care of himself when he joined (#29), and probably would have literally died without the yeerks.

Hang on, is Tom voluntary? He spontaneously offers to "be quiet" and "never trouble you again" when Temrash 114 starts trying to recruit Jake (#6). We don't know for sure that Tom isn't hanging out in that same break room after the events of #1, in exchange for Jake not being recruited.

So on. We know the Sharing targets people who are unhoused and/or mentally ill, and that the ones with happy, stable home lives (Tom, later Jake) tend to go unconvinced. You have to be vulnerable to end up voluntary, the series shows, so vulnerable that your whole ability to consent is seriously called into question.

I finally got around to posting some edits that have been floating around for literal years. Born from a 'style swap' it evolved into more of an 'Alternate Universe' - PART 2

Featuring:

Nicest girl you'll ever meet Heather: as the title says, you just can't dislike her. She'll do anything to help you and be your friend.

All brain Eva: no brawns at all. Very book smart, she still had somewhat of an anger management issue, but she managed to get it in control a long time ago. Brain over feelings.

Emo Lindsay: she only loves the color black, unimpressed by everything. Except maybe cute nerdy boys.

Weaboo Beth: she's really REALLY into anime and japanese culture, she won't hesitate to tell you all about it

Basket master Harold: turns out he does have mad skills, especially when playing ball. Problem is, he can't see anything without his glasses.

Mathlete Tyler: he likes math a normal amount, really. He loves doing math/logic themed competitions with his team of nerds.

Evangelion AU Kaneda inspired by a friend in DA ^^

Did these up yesterday! I know it's kinda odd including four ships that involve the same bloke in the head-cannon/ shitposts. But I figured it'd be worth it! These are traces from the actual show, with expressions changed up, so it could look a bit more romantic.

The Noah and Bridgette (nodgette) shot is from Bridgette's elimination episode from World Tour, when Noah tries to give her a hug, which goes over poorly. It was that bit that actually made me ship these two, which I think is kinda rad.

The Noah and Eva (Nova??? Is there even a ship name for these two?) is from the between Island and Action special. Probably watching Izzy do something completely mental. I don't, admittedly, really watch island or action. But I'm a big fan of Eva, so, fair is fair.

The Noah and Sierra (Noerra) shot comes from the second episode of WT, when Sierra is going on and on about being a 5th/? generation basket waiver. I've always kind of had mixed feelings on Sierra, I just think her stalker schtick got kind of old. So, I think having her get with Noah, rather than Cody, would be really fucking funny.

Noah and Izzy (Nizzy.. Kinda sounds like a slur) came from... I don't remember which episode, but it was the german one, where Noah mocks Cody's team for having a 'tiny sausage' which could absolutely just be a dick joke. I adore the idea of Noah just tolerating Izzy (Kind of like he does with Owen.) but somewhere along the line, the two become really close. And the next thing you know, sparks.

This last one was made by my brother, the reason I actually did these ones! Think of this as a commision. Not much to say, aside from it's my banner. Might make this an actual fanfiction, idk yet.
