#HONESTLY ;; ALL THE SURVIVORS-

[thelesbianluthor]

A lot of people dislike the adult time line but I love watching hot milfs being awful and the actors in the show are far too good to not enjoy their scenes.

I am still side eyeing the writers for what happened with Lottie in episode 4 (especially with how Simone has been talking) and enjoying both timeline and the show doesn't mean that the writers can't do bullshit moves but I am gonna wait to see what they do with the cause of death and her last moments before I give my judgement on that choice.

I am well aware of what type of show Yellowjackets is and I have always had the idea that it will end with all of them dead at one point but knowing that doesn't exclude that I can find certain characters wasted. I still think that Lottie had so much potential to do more and it hurt like hell to see her go so early.

I'm just getting into Mouthwashing, and I have a take that I haven't seen anyone make yet.

I don't think Jimmy deserves to die. Don't get me wrong, I loathe that pathetic little prick as much as the next person and I wouldn't mind seeing him getting beaten up (which, thankfully, there is no shortage of on this site), but he doesn't deserve to die.

Death's too good for him.

He's constantly refusing to accept responsibility for his actions throughout the entire game, up until the very end. Him killing himself is his ultimate cowardly act, his ultimate refusal of being held accountable for any of the harm he caused the other four, especially Anya.

Jimmy doesn't deserve to just die like that. He shouldn't get to shirk responsibility and then get an easy out without facing any real consequences.

Jimmy deserves to be the sole survivor, not Curly. He deserves to make it back to Earth somehow and be held accountable for what he did. Remember when Daisuke made that comment about the crew possibly ending up on the news? Yeah, Jimmy deserves his wrongdoings to be publicized. He deserves to be tried and imprisoned, for his already shitty reputation to plunge even deeper into the gutter. He deserves to realize the full weight of his actions. He deserves to live with that guilt. He deserves to reckon with the fact that, no, he couldn't fix it. He couldn't fix anything.

He'd finally be forced to truly take responsibility for his actions. And that? That would be the greatest form of retribution he could possibly face.

Sorry if this came across as heated or sadistic, I just watched Jacksepticeye's let's play and I'm very emotional right now. Scrolling through Mouthwashing stuff is helping me cope a bit, but I just had to get this off my chest.

Uhhh another one I fidget a ton and thus so do a few of my fav forsakeners

Taph likes playing around with his fingers and clasping together his hands. He also probably has several fidget rings on his hands, or regular rings he likes to spin around. I think ever since he got forsakend he's kept his rings basic. He misses his regular fidget rings because they were fancy and pretty and shiny. He's probably stolen several fidget toys because idk I think taph is a very handsy type of person. They have a hands fixation.

Elliot likes spinning pizza boxes around. It's a habit he picked up during his job because he used to just pick at his nails before he had the delivery job. Now that he's been forsakend, his nail picking habit has come back with a vengeance. He has tons of bandages on his fingers that he claims are from paper cuts but are actually so he won't pick at his nails. He likes to rub his fingers against the bandaids as a separate replacement for nail picking.

Dusekkar has a similar habit of spinning things around, specifically his staff, but he also likes adjusting it and running his hands up and down it also. He likes spinning it because it looks and feels good, and it makes him more confident when casting spells. He prefers to do the latter fidgets when not spell casting.

007 also has the nail picking habit but he more so obsessively bites and picks and tears at the nail whites, rather than both the nails and the skin on the side of it (how I imagine Elliot does the fidget). He adopted the habit because it was less noticeable than picking at the skin, but even then he only tears at the whites when he thinks no one's watching. His nails are fuckeddd man

im a really simple guy you hand me a character who has been profoundly affected by childhood abuse and i will be immediately insane about them forever and that is why trinity santos has struck me with one of the worst cases of rapid-onset blorbitis that i have experienced in a WHILE.

A Little Survivor (With Grand Gourmand Bonus💚)

[cologona]

AU where Willis Todd never survived the experimental procedures (not everyone can be so lucky, right?) When Jason finally finds the letters Ma Gunn kept from him and investigates the facility Willis was moved to, he finds out that his father actually died during the time he was training with Bruce to become Robin. Back then he hadn’t even known that Willis was legally dead yet, let alone actually dying in a scummy underground lab somewhere.

How long has it been.? A week?

Anywho, here’s my first rainworld experience but in comic form! I played with 2 of my friends and so far I’ve been having a blast

[cloudbends]

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH WONDERFUL PRECURE

[thebestusernamepossible]

I’m mostly staying off the Mouthwashing fandom bc I personally don’t want to put myself through whatever discourse is ever going on there. But know I love Anya and Mouthwashing is one of the best games I’ve played that had an SA survivor AND was respectful about it!! The abuse Anya suffered is never portrayed as a spectical for the audience to leer at. They use the art of implication VERY well, and in the end Anya gets to go out dignified. She’s not just Jimmy’s tradgic victim, she’s her own character who makes her own decisions. Jimmy doesn’t get to kill her, she expresses her own agency to do so. She’s also the one who kept the gun away from him for so long. Also she’s SO fucking strong, she’s so cool. Anya I love you.

Also the game’s overarching (but subtle) commentary on rape culture, enabling, and how capitalism almost makes a set dressing for it is peak.

What do the other cc brothers' flashbacks look like? Are they like Donnie's?

sometimes, but also not really. i think depending on the circumstances all four of them are prone to freeze/dissociate, but donnie actually probably does it the least? he'll usually snap out of his shock to start, well. fawning. frantically apologizing or trying to clean up his messes. the others can just kind of go shellshocked for a while, it happens to leo and mikey a lot.

most of what they do freak out/have flashbacks to is the immediate aftermath of CL and the lamp incident (april has trauma from this too, btw!), but also donnie in distress is overall just a trigger for them, because the memories have been marred from the experience they went through post-curse. it's why they're also quickly driven to violence when someone's a threat to him-- anything to get it to stop. the response to him freaking out goes deeper than empathy (which mikey and raph already have a lot of normally) because it's connected to some really loaded, nasty memories. for raph especially his first response is to get to him, to show him that he's here. you can probably guess why.

i do think it'll influence their behavior with each other too. they're noticeably gentler to donnie and they react poorly when they think they've upset him (cc!leo freaking out in the first part of the crossover comic is a good example) but the fact that they have to ease into things like sparring is also an indicator. what used to be a bonding activity for them is really loaded and terrifying. they're afraid of their own strength and what they're capable of. they dont jab at each other as much anymore. they fear raising their voices at each other seriously. it's why mikey breaks down after his argument with leo in ch10.

leo's the best at swallowing things like this back, but if he's caught off guard he cant. there's nothing he hates more than being surprised, and it makes him kind of a nosy control freak nowadays. it's a new trait that manifested from trauma.

Okay I've had a sleep, I've seen a lot of what the fandom has to say and I'm gonna just talk about my thoughts on the episode 118 stuff in more detail too.

Spoilers under the cut and it's a little bit (5 paras and a tl/dr at the bottom) long

I have never liked the Release Predathos option, but it had been very apparent - since probably as far back as the vorbing - that Matt had been pushing the narrative towards that option whether Bells Hells wanted it or not. The lack of alternatives provided meant that yes, the Hells had little choice but to deal with Predathos themselves; Ludinus was likely not dead, they were low on strength and resources even after a short rest to fight another full-strength Ludinus, and even if they caved in the core and killed Ludinus again someone else would've tried to come and release Predathos. On that I can't really fault the cast for playing ball with the DM and I can't say what the characters are doing is out of character or with bad intentions, it simply annoys me how close we were to entertaining the idea that should've been discussed earlier of putting Predathos somewhere nobody can get to. Objectively it was still a terrible idea, one that even in delivery could've been better prepared with Imogen not in range of the two saving throw buffs or having any Inspiration as she took on Predathos knowing from previous experience that a wisdom save is likely to be involved. But again, the alternatives offered up to them are sparse, nothing else in the narrative had offered a clear solution and if something did suddenly come up it would've felt too much like a deus ex machina. The Hells are not doing this because they want to do Ludinus' plan, but doing so is by proxy doing Ludinus' plan, and thus the problem as of current lies in the Plot.

Right now, they're at a very high risk of the plot not justifying a story, because why did we have this campaign if the outcome is gonna be the same? If the plan is to reset Exandria why didn't we have C3 in the post-reset era and trickle in what happened as lore? Bells Hells have often lacked agency when it came to the Predathos portions of the campaign, but even when they took agency to try and be more than what they were made to be they found themselves punished or being withheld the catharsis they needed to grow. Regardless, the plot is currently failing the characters, and thus the characters are failing the audience - to the point where some in the fandom now want them all to die or for Braius to betray them all - because we the audience don't see the appeal of the direction.

There is a caveat though: it's not yet over. We expect that there will be a fight between the Hells and Predathos!Imogen (we need a name for that) and possibly Ludinus swooping in with the harness to try and steal a victory, but that does mean that the theatre of imagination can come into play in dealing with Predathos itself. There is of course uncertainty whether Predathos can die, since Vecna at 0hp would've just discorporated them for a bit, but there are a lot more options for the Hells to entertain now than there was at 118, including having to kill the vessel - be it Imogen or transferring it to another like Ludinus or Liliana, being able to expel Predathos from Imogen and entrapping/banishing/killing it with the knowledge that yeah that was a terrible idea, or somehow having Imogen suppress it and remain control over herself (and hope that the same rule doesn't apply to her as it does with Delilah being free when Laudna dies), which all can involve exciting twists and turns and creative solutions befitting of a conclusion. In that hope is the opening for a more exciting and satisfying end, and while the plot has had rightful criticisms a good ending can make up for them just as much as a bad ending can ruin a good plot.

So in short; I don't like that Imogen did that, but I know why she did it. And why she did it is more the plot's fault because we never saw it as a good idea, just the only decision that was pushed to be made. There's hope though, and all is not lost, but the plot as well as the characters are gonna have to earn it.

Man, as a trans guy and abuse survivor, whenever I see people saying the likes of, "lmao, men shouldn't be allowed in anything deemed 'women's healthcare'!" It just reminds me that - especially in healthcare - my safety and comfort will never matter so long as it continues to condradict people's preconceived notions of what constitutes people worthy of healthcare. It's just something I wish the well-meaning people who are rightfully frustrated with the state of healthcare would take a second to remember.

Yes, the healthcare system sucks and we must fix it. No, that doesn't mean we ought to leave behind people just because they challenge us on our own biases.
