There's something about Sidestep's blase attitude towards inhabiting the puppet that tickles me. Something of a parallel to Sidestep's own trauma of only existing as a tool to be used. It's not quite the same as what they suffered at the Farm, of course, because Sidestep was aware of their suffering (especially the second time.) The puppet is functionally dead. There's nothing in the brain to suffer.

#Kitbug plays games #Kitbug plays fhr #Fallen hero rebirth #Riley run #There's also something about the mental gymnastics i see sometimes #On making Sidestep sympathetic towards the puppey #On some level they are #For most steps #But it doesn't change the facts #I know things are a bit screwy with the imposter in reve #And all the speculation there #But i don't think it's anything to do with the puppet brain so much as #Some sort of reflection of Sidestep's own trauma #A splinter of themself echoing in whatever body they aren't inhabiting #But i think ace is gone for good #And agonizing over the use of the body because it's morally wrong #Really isn't in Sidestep's nature #Anyway that's my soap box lol
