Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will

B-127 being significantly older than everyone else. B-127 knowing some of the older bots personally, having vague memories of what things were like Before, being surprised that the archives aren't publically available anymore, B-127 who doesn't remember his own age because it's been so long but he remembers enough to know Orion (Optimus, Optimus his name is Optimus now) and Elita are so young to be given so many burdens

B-127 is older than all his new friends. But he doesn't remember how he got to Sub Level 50. He doesn't remember what he was like Before. That building is new. What happened to the road that lead to ____? Where is ____? Was his cog taken at emergence like everyone else? Or was it taken later? Is there a reason he thrives with violence? Did he really lose his mind down there, or was he always programmed to be just a little stab happy? He doesn't know. He doesn't know.

Hey Optimus! You don't mind if I stick a little closer than usual right? There's just so much noise and colour up here haha. Has it always been this bright?

a common theme I like to explore is the unlikable guy - unlikable in a mundane way, he's not a serial killer and isn't trying to take over the world, you don't get that degree of separation from him, this is someone you can and probably have met irl. pushy annoying inconsiderate weak bigoted toxic etc. this is who we're reading about today. and he's not necessarily going to improve either. i find that people react to "evil" and "just kinda shitty" characters very differently, usually hating the latter more - a vampire who kills people is whatever but some guy cheating on his gf provokes a stronger disapproving response. i think it's interesting how the closer to home you hit, the smaller the bad act is on the scale of badness. anyway it's really obvious why this is and I am partially just retreading very well trodden ground but it's this sort of kneejerk negative response to mundane shittiness I like to explore more than I do "he did commit the atrocities and I love him for it" style stories

I just think Hunter was obsessed with Willow and didn't even know it during the period from any sport in a storm to labyrinth runners. They maybe don't talk as often as they could, they're both busy and have conflicting schedules, so when they do talk, Hunter absorbs everything she says.

After roughly 3 weeks of texting (hexting? I feel like the kids would call it hexting), He knows that her favorite colour is orange, she likes her tea with extra milk and a bit of honey during winter, she likes working out to the noisiest angriest music in her playlist, her dad Gilbert is a construction witch who specialises in pottery, she used to listen to breakup songs and think about her childhood best friend (Hunter doesn't know it's Amity) and she actually has a mild pollen allergy despite being a plant witch and has to take potions for it.

He casually drops all this info piece by piece during their stay in the human realm and willows like. Well I can't not marry him. It'll have to be a winter or fall wedding to account for her allergies </3

Imo Jason is “irredeemable” by default because I don’t see what he needs redemption from.

also before i forget my hot take is that cas would be totally fine with jack becoming god because of his big push in season 15 to help jack achieve his destiny

[buccellato]

should be sleeping but instead I'm thinking about how much Vash has been treated with love and care and kindness, even if he doesn't think he deserves or outright tries to deny it

it doesn't get shown as much later in the manga (but also everyone is busy and freaking out by that point so...), but early on we get to see glimpses of him having fun and getting fed treats (and sheltered and comforted) from casual, everyday sources. He carries the weight of every mistake, screw up, injury and death around his neck like a millstone, but very rarely does he ever knowingly allow anyone else to lighten his burdens—and when he does it's often under the guise of a mask.

But despite that all he is so incredibly cared for—kids willingly play with him to the point that they expect him to show up, strangers shelter him and cry when he leaves them, people willingly choose to risk life and limb and stand by him against his brother. Even his scars are testament of small acts of kindness imo—yeah they're proof of people hurting him (or just terrible, rotten luck), but he has a couple of really deep scars that might've taken him out if he didn't receive some form medical treatment; his body has incredibly enhanced healing but also he very clearly has limits to how well it works. Plus some of them have been very obviously patched up by a regular nml doctor working with what they have (I do not believe ship 3 would graft a metal grate over his chest because that just seems like a pain to work around with any sort of metallic equipment tbh), which means someone may have seen him get hurt and then willingly chose to help him afterwards, regardless of the circumstances.

So despite the cruelty he is forced to witness and experience all the time, he also gets to absorb so much love and little acts of kindness regardless of if he wants to acknowledge it or not.

Basically I guess what I'm trying to say is this: Haha Get Loved Idiot

Do u think Karkat and Jade share some sense of loneliness? With both of them not really being able to connect with other people for the first 13 years of their lives because of outsides forces (Being a mutant in Alternia and living in an island alone)

yea

i like to imagine they connect like that, just a small detail. its nice and really depressing, they turned out very differently.

though yes jades isolation is a bit more important (plot wise-ish) than karkats, but its still a very interesting parallel

With both of them not really being able to connect with other people for the first 13 years of their lives

i mean for karkat it was probably a nightmare, not being able to connect with anybody physically for years and just having to deal with yourself and just... with self loathing a part of it? yeah probably really lonely. though karkats life pre-sgrub is a bit more vague than jades, its kind of obvious that he didnt have any physical interactions (other than crabdad) due to the fact that he needed to be protected by well, alternias whole.. everything system. i think about karkats life pre-sgrub a lot, actually

and jade? loneliest girl on earth. she didnt really have anybody (except for her grandpa but .. You know. Dead. taxidermized. or after she was a toddler. i say 2 years old) and she was left on prospit wondering and the only time she was with another person was with a sleeping john in the other tower. and all the prospitians. but that was her main physical interactions (were not using bec because .. Dog. woof bark woof bark)

because of outsides forces (Being a mutant in Alternia and living in an island alone)

and thats the saddest part, it really isnt either of their faults for any form of isolation.

anyways sorry if i got anything incorrect or just kind of got things straight up wrong. its 1:20 am (as im currently re-vising) and i am too tired to correct myself

now i know this is more of a fully canon analysis. but i do want to give my opinions on how it would effect them after the game

using the fact in the credits that they do live together (with d*ve. why am i even censoring his name? because its funny) i think they would prefer to be close to each other. for karkat its more of the fact that i think he still would feel a bit sorry (not in the sense that he didnt feel all that sorry during the game when he was harassing jade, but i mean that the feeling still lingers from time to time) and would try to just stay near her to make sure shes alright

and jade would be near karkat because of the fact of their relationship during the game. i feel like after she did forgive him during the game she did get more curious. like the reactions he had with the passwords. probably just wanting to have someone around that was talking to her for so long and was bothering her while she was still alone, just the concept of someone who was bullying you for maybe.. MONTHS (i.e "CG: HI AGAIN, IDIOT.") (emphasis on again) .. YEARS?? (or on her part) is just.. near you. physically. it brings an awkwardness between them. from how they were isolated and bothering each other and now just... together ??? physically?? it probably is so strange to them . strange to me mostly but it is a strange concept in itself

but i digress this part, i just started rambling about it

[trixstriforce]

botw was a good story about coping w/ tragedy, the dangers of expectations and pedestals, and how to live after disaster

totk could have been such a good story about generational trauma, coming to terms w/ grief, and how to really on others after a life time of being alone but it just...wasnt. it had so much potential to build on the themes of botw and give a good thematic close to zelda and link's archs and it set all that up but just...did not

my thing is i don't Really like all the retconning going on in fionna & cake but also, f&c Finn is a fucking Dreamboat & while i think to an extent that he's not bottom-heavy Enough, he's also exactly the kinda man that his 12 year old self would've wanted to be & that alone makes me wanna consume him, like LOOK AT THIS THING

i don’t think pax would ever consider the elvhen gods his gods. he was raised in a human empire with human gods. there were no dalish clans carrying stories of them to hear. the elves of the empire long adopted the imperial pantheon. or, those who incorporated both, kept to themselves. he was too human, some told him. they were an incredibly tight-knit community. his mother didn’t know, either. the arnes were still a human family that routinely married in elves to cultivate magical talent. they cared for little else beyond the prestige of that talent. he would be interested in learning the elvhen language, though. lysona only knew a few words like atish’an , da'len, mamae, and vhenan. she always wanted to know more. after awakening in thedas, his contact, at first, was limited to the sabrae clan and zathrian’s clan. he … only approached a few clans after but never stayed long enough to learn much from them. felt he was a danger to them and was an intrusion. he was better alone ( he was never alone ). now, if romanced by a lavellan inquisitor - mislyn, by default - he does become interested the gods and is willing to participate in any daily rituals or ceremonies if asked. though, still, he is more interested in learning the language.

tbh i don’t even think miguel’s breakdown rant about miles’ existence as “anomaly” spiderman causing the death of 1610 peter is even about peter, or even quite abt miles. it’s about the idea that somehow 1610 peter could’ve shut down the collider if it weren’t for miles, even though miles’ presence didn’t actually affect peter’s death in any way. it’s about the idea that peter could’ve prevented a reality - that is, anomalies getting slingshotted throughout the multiverse - that miguel feels like he’s buckling under the emotional burden of (”And all this time, I have been the only one holding it all together!”). But even that’s not quite it, it’s about the fact that Miguel has been sitting on the resentment of feeling like he’s utterly alone in this burden, when in reality he’s not. When he created a structure designed to help share that burden between people who should understand it the most. But he won’t - can’t - ask for help bearing the emotional burden because it’s not even quite about the anomalies, it’s about Gabriella. But you deserve to suffer for it, you deserve to hurt. You dwell and grieve her and a mistake you won’t forgive youself for over and over again, all while hiding away and refusing to confide in the people who care about you how badly you’re spiraling, all while a part of you resents them for not knowing, even as they couldn’t know.

Omori ranting/theorizing

(Even though everything has already been analyzed to hell and I'm probably beating a dead horse)

I feel like sweethearts' relashonship with space boy is a good example of how manipulation and constant hot to cold behavior can begin to degrade on someone because as much as I wanna like capt. Space boy x sweetheart, she is abusing him emotionally (and implied physically in his capt space ex boyfriend dialog) + the whole locked in a dungion thing to the point of extreme stress and breakdown (bad ship 0/10 this is why spaceboy x perfect heart or spaceboy x rococo are obviously superior-) but then I'm like damn why is this in Sunnys head and there is so mnay theory's about this and my fave is that there a very exadrated portrayal of how he sees himslef and basil

I feel like the parallel between space boy and sunny are kinda obvious but I think the basil-sweetheart ones are less so but it makes sense trust- basil is both unable to feel loved and believes very rigidly in his perception of it refusing to accept his view is wrong- though where that get a little shaky is that sweetheart is very hot/cold and basil is just obsessive and overbearing but I feel like someone smarter than me has explained this better already lmao-

That's not to say I really blame basil all that much he's an emotionally unstable child grasping at any connection he can get and trying to remain co-dependant with the dude who was his best friend-and in alot of ways I can relate to him heavily as someone who's gone through extream social anxiety and isolation for many many years.

But I don't blame sunny for how he deals with it either he's in a simmaler boat, maybe worse, even,you know. He just deals with it in a more avoiding way than basil.

In conclusion, both these dudes are going through it omg omg
