Crappy Character Analysis, part 4

Thank you to everyone who has read my rambles! This was a personal project, since everyone I know IRL is sick of e talking about this game, so it's nice to see that I'm not screaming into the wind alone.

part 1 (Broken) part 2 (Skeptic) part 3 (Cold)

part 4 (You are here) part 5 (Stubborn) part 6 (Contrarian)

part 7 (Smitten) part 8 (Opportunist) part 9 (Cheated)

part 10 (Hunted) part 11 (Hero)

VOICE OF THE PARANOID

I feel like Paranoid is one of the fan favorites. People really seem to like his “Heart, lungs, liver, nerves” vibes. It’s probably because he is actually pretty rational (for the situation), and makes overall good observations and choices. The only bad call I can remember him making is suggesting you kill the Nightmare if you try leaving with her, and even then, it’s only recognizable as a bad call after the decision is already made. Despite having the label of “Paranoid”, his responses actually seem pretty rational compared to the situation on hand. While him raving about eyes watching you in the Nightmare would seem deranged out of context, there were actually eyes, or at least, you were seeing eyes. Him having a bit of a breakdown in MoC was also a response that matched the severity of the event you’d just witnessed. In fact, the Paranoid is actually quite perceptive, on two separate occasions (The Cage and the Apotheosis) he realizes how the construct functions, and makes efforts to take advantage of that. In the Apotheosis, he even notices that you seem to be the “textured nothing” all around you. He also is able to restart your central nervous system in the Nightmare, saving your life.

The Voice of the Paranoid seems in a constant state of panic. He makes multiple comments about not being able to think in these situations, and how frustrating that is. The way you get him usually involves the Princess killing you without even touching you (In the case of the Apotheosis and the Nightmare) or one of your voices killing you (In the Cage [Skeptic basically forces your hand, even if you technically chose to slay yourself] and the HEA). This makes him distrustful of everything: The ground beneath your feet, the Princess, the Narrator, and even your own thoughts. Once you start getting to Chapter 3’s, this distrust and fear makes him really focus on your environment, and his constant reassessment of your situation leads him to make realizations about the construct that would otherwise be missed. He is the only one to recognize Smitten in the HEA. Going back to his constant state of panic, I think that’s how he keeps your body running in the Nightmare. He basically spams you with adrenaline until your organs reboot, which isn’t a good long-term solution, but keeps you breathing. However, this task requires constant focus, so he’s basically stuck doing that for the whole chapter. This adrenaline surge he causes is also what can help you throw yourself into the void in the Wraith. Paranoid’s main flaw is overthinking. In the Apotheosis, he almost screws up your chance to attack her because he thinks he messed it up. In the Moment of Clarity, he is freaking out too much to provide any type of valuable input. His worst enemy is his own mind. One last thing that I find very interesting about him is that he seems to have a different view on death. He struggles so hard to keep you alive during the Nightmare, but once you slay her, he’s all for ending it. I think that unlike the Hero or the Skeptic, who were sure that there was something after, Paranoid was certain that you would die for good, and thought it was better than the misery you seemed condemned to. This was my favorite one to write, I think. Paranoid is one of my favorites.

In my earlier design of Laila she was the shortest of the four main tsc characters but now the vibes have me indecisive again (and I can't remember if this was addressed in canon) so I'm curious:

(I'd be fine to hear if it is stated in canon but this poll is about YOUR OPINION, what did you imagine for Cat and Laila whether you have read tsc or not)

For the omega verse Harry Potter thing, how is his relationship with Sirius? Is Sirius a parental figure to him?

Harry adores Sirius of course and Sirius, for his part, has an easier time adjusting to life after Azkaban because he knows Harry needs him. “Omega Protection Laws” being what they are, Harry can’t be taken from family until he’s of age, mated, or is adopted by another blood related alpha. He has to prove that he’s sane enough to take in Harry. Has to prove that he’s innocent while he’s at it. Has to give Harry one safe place that is his no matter how hard that means working to heal himself in the process.

(And in those moments when reality slips and Sirius can’t remember when he is, it’s not James that he sees but another neglected omega with dark hair that looked up at him like he hung the very stars. It’s only Harry’s eyes that are different. Green instead of Black Family Gray.)

So… you remember when I drew every day for a month?

Don’t get excited, I haven’t fully decided yet.

As of recently I’ve be thinking about how fun that was for me and how much I improved from it, I want to do it again! When I did it last time i was on summer break so that’s the only reason I’m still on the fence about it, I’m back in school and don’t have as much time but I think I can make it work if I work with my time well. My mental health recently hasn’t been so good so I’m not sure if this would help or worsen it but I do think it would make me happier since it did last time. The art wouldn’t be incredibly high effort 7 hour render since I don’t have time for that but maybe that would happen a few times. If I decide to do it, it’ll be next month starting December first and ending once the new year starts since I have so much time off in December. Yes I would be drawing godot, my obsession with him hasn’t let up and I don’t see it disappearing anytime soon like with my characters I like, I think this one’s gonna stay lol.

Summerrized

December 1 - January 1 I may or may not be drawing Godot everyday for a month like I did in the past

The drawings won’t be horribly high effort as I don’t have time for it

suggestions will be open

don’t expect anything super amazing

don’t get super excited I haven’t fully decided yet

You guys are the reason I can keep myself going, thank you, genuinely from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

[duckybarnes1917]

[ecstarry]

[janeiscompletelyfine]

You have to have strength in yourself.

Because at the end of the day, nobody else will do it for you.
