Just finished playing Mouthwashing and I just wanna leave my character opinions in this post. OBVIOUS SPOILER WARNING!!! Curly: Lovely character. I adore his characterization of being unable to do anything until it's too late. He stood on the sidelines for too long and was only given the option the stay on the sidelines for the rest of his life. That moment when he goes to confront Jimmy and the screen starts lightly shaking and starts flashing the "Kills 99.9%" to signify his utter rage and contempt for Jimmy at that point? Adore it. I don't think he's as horrible as people say. He had no malicious intent, but that ironically caused his downfall. He was too passive and that led to the failure of the crew and became a victim to Jimmy's twisted delusions. Swansea: MY GLORIOUS KING!!! I love his whole roundabout character. He's so three-dimensional. I adore him for accepting his flaws and genuinely being able to "Take Responsibility". His relationship with Daisuke, being the hardened man scorned by the world and wanting to make sure Daisuke didn't end up like him was so beautiful. The fact that he doesn't get mad at Daisuke for crawling through the vent and getting hurt because he knew he just wanted to help made me tear up. He's so incredible. Plus he can canonically throw it back, which is always a plus.

Daisuke: What an amazingly tragic character. A kid who feels useless and wants to help in any way he can, even if that means putting himself in harm's way. I love how he attempts to remain positive and cares about the other crew members. Even in his one moment of grief where he discusses his fear of disappointing others, it's never about himself. In his couple last scenes, he even talks about his mom and hopes she won't feel guilty. It's incredible. Anya: Oh, where do I even begin with Anya? I love her. Her whole character is tragic, but those profound moments where she's with Curly, where she's comfortable and we get to see her true self come out, it's so beautiful. She jokes around, gets intense about board games, and is even a bit energetic and passionate about nursing, but most of all, she's just a sweet person. She's incredibly skilled at keeping Curly alive after his incident. She keeps everything calm while Jimmy is away. Her grief and response to Jimmy's actions towards her are sad and I will absolutely admit that I cried after I found out she died and had to step away for a bit because she just was such a genuinely beautiful person. I wish we got to see more of her and I really wish we get to see more of her in the future. Easily my favorite character. I love her so much AAUGH!!! The fact that her and Curly's ID cards are always covered by Jimmy's in that ID card segment is so sad. I could make a whole post on Anya. I love Anya. 11/10. Need more Anya. Jimmy: Wonderfully written. I have never hated a person, let alone a fictional person, more in my life that when this fucker was on my screen. A horrible person. A genuinely irredeemable asshole who does nothing but bring the crew down with him. As much as I would adore making a whole rant post about him, it's 2:00 AM as of writing this and I wanna sleep. So basically; Fuck Jambalaya or whatever his name is.

sorry but how incredibly romantic and dramatic would that be? it’s giving 2000s romcom~~

[doriandrifting]

I bring a certain kind of “well actually I’m bisexual” vibe that “gay mike truthers are inherently biphobic” accusers don’t really like.

Okay actually I'm not done yet. Can I also say there being discourse over actors ALLEGEDLY unfollowing other actors is stupid?

I'm like 85% sure they never followed him to begin with. I'm sure no one could prove they did either.

And like it's just not that deep. They're people with personal lives. They can follow whoever they want and unfollow whoever they want?

[systemrestart]

i think Pluto is right. as much as Saturn leans into being The Bitch™/the chaos gremlin, she is a very thoughtful and empathetic person. and not even just to the people closest to her. i think this shines through in her final words from the CM ending;

"Everyone on Earth who believed in us felt the same way;

'Let's be more human.' 'How much more human can we be?'

That faith waned, maybe because they were jealous. Yet, maybe also, because the direction we were taking the future wasn't enough. Just another human they didn't want to be. Or a sort of human that they're scared of being.(…)

So, choose to come with us, or choose to stay. But I won't be happy without them knowing what they're missing out on. Look up in the sky, and see all the weird stuff we get to do with each other! And come join!"

like with most things Saturn does, it's couched in her own desires and feelings, her own 'selfishness' (or, something more like 'self-love', or 'self-respect')........ and yet, she still thinks of humanity, the humanity who rejected her, the humanity she so resents, and she expresses a hope that those who want to also free themselves may follow them someday

her 'victory' against Luna-Terra in the mission "DEEPER CUTS" also sticks out to me. in this 'battle' her goal was to break down Luna-Terra's emotional and mental defenses.......... not just for her own satisfaction (though that too of course lol), but also to see LT truly be vulnerable, for her own sake as well

"You remember the end. You remember everything after, too.

Have seen it flicker along the edges of your home, catch fire to everything you've ever known. Have felt it gnaw its way into your bones, watching as the last safety ship glinted starlight in the sky. Losing a home you had never known did not hurt as bad as losing the home you have only ever known. This distinction had been made very clear to you in the end.

Fear is every step you take, it is every beating heart, every conspired whisper. It exists within the hollows of your cells, in every ill-intended look cast your way. You are fear. And they make you believe it. "

You are the lone first-generation, three-star pilot of the United Forces of the Red Remembrance.

And you will be the last.

You are the only pilot capable enough to helm the UFRR's greatest mystery and secret shame; Acheilus, an antiquated shark mecha left over from before The End. He is your only friend in the abyss of the ocean.

It is a time of peace. The bitterness from the Coalition of The Last Frontier's abandonment has long since diluted away in favor of lucrative trade deals from space - goods that could only benefit the UFRR's longevity underseas. It is a good deal, kind, even. Generous.

But you cannot help but taste the tang of deceit between your teeth. The sickly stick of rot amplifies after you spot another shark mecha circling the edges of UFRR's water space. Sleek black and glinting metal - a convincing imitation of the Remembrance's mechanics. The problem with this: you captain the only shark in the entire ocean.

"Humanity took to the stars and left us for dead."

From This Mouth That Bleeds is a retro-mecha cyberpunk created with Twine that focuses primarily on choice, the never-ending landscape of loss, and something about the monsters you keep.

- A fully customizable MC including gender, appearance, and sexuality. - Mechas, time travel, and a war that never ends.

- a setting both placed underwater and in space

- the end of the world

Ophelia - The only daughter of the Coalition of The Last Frontier. She is largely a question mark, her name whispered around like a demon of old —Void Jumper— but other than that, you don't know anything about her, nor do you care to.

So why do you keep seeing her in your dreams?

Jonah - The lead doctor of Base Alpha and only other first-gen similar in age to you. He's got kind eyes and gentle hands, always looking to be your friend, despite your stark opposition.

You've known him your whole life. And it's this familiarity that allows you to say that underneath that smile of his lies a darkness—one you cannot begin to understand.

okay at the end of the day beyond me being defensive of post hiatus and mania it really comes down to this: you are not entitled to anything from fall out boy. it’s fine to hope they play a specific song or a song from a specific album but if you are genuinely MAD or upset at them if you don’t or being so vehement that they don’t play from specific albums then you need to reevaluate how you’re approaching this and how you’re approaching being a fan. they are playing the songs THEY want to play and they don’t owe you anything. grow up.

[doveotion]

The way people are responding to Taylor Swift's new album because they don't think she is tortured or mentally ill enough to call it that is fucking embarrassing.

God forbid an artist ever exaggerates for artistic purpose. God forbid a celebrity writes about pain or suffering if they haven't experienced the maximum amount of trauma in their life.

I mean, everyone knows the moment you become a celebrity all your human experience disappears and you elevate to a new level of existence where you cannot have relatable experiences anymore for the rest of your life.

Last post on this -

I genuinely would like people who take the opposite POV on this to just think about it, and their own personal answers to this question, which I am not presuming to know. I'm just presenting the question:

Keeping in mind that my opinion on incest is shaped not JUST by the fact that I'm a survivor and aware of its impact on me, but also by how its shaped my entire life, the years I've spent trying to work my mind around why it happened, how it impacted me, how it affected my views of the world, the years of study I've put into the phenomenon of incest and its impact, absorbing all kinds of opinions and input about it while trying to make sense of its place in my life and history.....keeping in mind that my views on incest and even its impact on me were NOT always consistent or linear and there have been periods of my life where I held different opinions on it, and some points where I even internalized a lot of the same things people say in fandom to talk about how harmless it is or how its no big deal and thus am actually QUITE familiar with those POVs and the reasons and arguments for thinking those things -

How many people who kneejerk dismiss my reactions to incest as overwrought, too skewed by personal bias, etc.....can honestly say they are as informed on the subject? I'm not even talking about whether or not any individuals reading this are survivors themselves - as I just acknowledged, I'm fully aware that incest survivors can disagree on a lot of this as I myself have held to different opinions on it at prior points in my life so please don't go there -

I'm simply asking you to ask YOURSELVES.....if you're not a survivor yourself, if your knowledge of incest and its possible impact is secondhand or hearsay....

Can you genuinely, in all honesty, say that you've put as much time and contemplation in actively seeking out additional information, counter-arguments, and dissenting opinions to weigh all sides of this before making up your own mind and only THEN coming to the conclusion that its actually no big deal?

Because that is the part that bothers me the most - how often I see survivors dismissed by people who are citing points of view that are EASILY rebutted by even just relatively basic information out there about WHY incest is deemed so harmful, not because of interbreeding or genetics but through the lens of family dynamics and societal impact upon survivors.

I know I've made post after post over the years refuting various pro (or 'neutral') incest talking points or detailing just why its so much more insidious and harmful than a lot of people deem it to be after just a cursory look at a few biased opinions in favor of it.....

And pretty much none of them have ever been engaged with.

And I know I've never seen posts actually TALKING about incest and its impact on people and families getting any kind of traction in fandom circulation.

So I'm genuinely asking, because if people who argue on behalf of it or who dismiss it as no big deal are basing that on having put time and effort into INFORMING themselves on the topic before drawing their own conclusions as to its harmlessness....

They're not basing that on conversations happening in any fandom spaces I've ever seen draw much attention. So they'd have to either have personal knowledge themselves (and while I make no attempt to presume the survivor status of any individual, I will NOT pretend that the entirety of the pro-incest fandom camps so abundant on tumblr and Ao3 are made up entirely of survivors, that's a completely different thing than asking people to be mindful of the possibility a single individual might be speaking from personal knowledge), or they'd have to be seeking out informed stances on the possible harm of incest through non-fandom spaces before deciding that yeah, actually incest is no big deal.

And I'm sorry, but I do not see that latter possibility as all that likely, based on ANY fandom experience I have when it comes to controversial topics and lived experiences.

So.....if there are a lot of people out there whose insistence that incest is no big deal is rooted entirely in just having internalized fandom opinions in DEFENSE of it or its lack of capacity to do harm....

I would like to ask people to reflect on that, and the implications.

If your own stance on incest isn't based on personal experiences or having sought out or informed yourselves on BOTH arguments in defense of it and in CRITICISM of it.....

Maaaaaaaybe skip the condescending takes about whether people who cite it as a bad thing that does harm have done THEIR due diligence before deciding that yes, it actually IS harmful and SHOULD be spoken out against?

Something to think about, is all I'm saying.
