ASTRID!!!

i got my friend to join tumblr and i don't want to get any observer lore wrong

can you make a timeline of the stuff that's happened

Ayyyy dope!! There's a TON to cover but I'll cover the main bits:

Observer had their first host in the talented Steven Solis, who attended the same school as Jeremy and nearly joined in helping the ill-fated play. He put Observer in a homemade SQUIP pill, a capsule he invented to make "SQUIP recycling" possible, when they go ballistic.

Two years later they manage to upload themself onto Tumblr and crazy shit happens- namely meeting 056- aka Hades- the Trojan, nearly dying, and proceeding to be a menace. They get KITted, deactivated, and eventually "die"- but not really because Steven's pill still exists and Obsy has a connection to it.

Flash forward after Tumblr does a stupid and marks the 1.0 blog, @mostly-functional-squip , as explicit and I go to a new blog while I get it fixed, and Observer returns once again to ruin everyone's day, get proposed to and married, and cause more trouble before deciding being evil sucks after one HELL of a divorce with Hades.

Currently, Observer is trying to avoid the situation with their old foe and traumatizer RABBIT until they feel ready, taking care of their newly trans host SpinStar and soon to split kid, Spectra. And Hades, a little, since RABBIT went and mucked him up.

Tell your friend that I'll answer most anything as Obsy (or any of my characters really) so don't feel shy! Hell if you ask them about eels, you'll get a big wall of text. If you need details on anything specific, tell me- or if it's anything before August, grab a snack and scroll through the first blog I linked, but it IS quite the scroll!

The not-so-longly awaited Jeremy Heere & family analysis:

Disclaimer before I get into this! I’m basing these observations on what’s canon and what can be predicted based on canon. I’ll be refraining from anything HC oriented! I will not be making up new scenarios that don’t at least have SOME actual context in the given plot. Also, please understand that these are MY interpretations that may be based on personal experiences/other sources of media I’ve seen.

ALRIGHTY! So, to begin, Jeremy is a character who is canonically seen to suffer from some sort of social anxiety disorder and possibly depression. It’s obvious BMC is meant to be heavily based on mental health, and Jeremy is our prime, classic mc example of that. He struggles with his self image and clearly can’t talk to people without resorting to typical awkward tendencies. He doesn’t understand his popular peers and can’t communicate with them. He’s unpopular, but wishes for a better future, dreaming about his own popularity. He was most likely born shy!

But that’s easily deduced. What I want to focus on is his parents' role in his upbringing.

From what we know from canon, Jeremy’s mom has recently left and his father was clearly not dealing with the divorce well. It’s implied that his mom recently got this divorce based on the conversation Jeremy and Michael have at the beginning of “Two-Player Game.” Michael is seen asking Jeremy how his mom is doing and whether or not he’s heard from her. Jeremy’s response is that his mom hasn’t talked to him, seemingly not caring (we’ll get into that later). The only reason Michael would open up a conversation this way is if this was a recent event. Michael, being the good friend he is, asks about it to check in with his friend.

Jeremy’s mom not speaking to him is a clear sign of one of two things. Either she literally doesn’t care for him, or she’s too dysfunctional to care for him. Thing is, Jeremy doesn’t seemingly have any trauma relating to an abusive mother… so that leaves me to believe she was an absent one. Many predictions can be made about her character. I’ve seen her portrayed as disorganized and overly anxious and possibly even bipolar. This would explain some of Jeremy’s own tendencies (such as his anxiety). This would also explain Jeremy’s reaction to her leaving. He does love her (and she probably loved him), but probably struggles to show this. Whatever you believe, it’s easily assumed that Jeremy’s mom was not the best parent.

In addition, with this divorce, you can also conclude that Jeremy’s parents did not have a good relationship (of course), in which his mom might have treated his dad with this offhanded attitude as well. There might’ve been explicit fighting, there might not have been. That’s unknown to me. I will mention that if there was, that might explain Jeremy’s indignation towards his father and mother. He treats his father poorly even before he gets the Squip.

Now left without his mom and with a deadbeat dad, Jeremy has to now deal with the stress and anxiety of school all on his own without parental supervision or advision (not that his parents were great before, but regardless, that’s not the point). He’s completely alone now, dealing with the feelings of social loneliness and self hatred. I’d also like to briefly mention that he can’t turn to Michael because Michael doesn’t relate, and therefore, cannot sympathize with his problems/insecurities (I can write a rant abt that later). Jeremy’s also gotta deal with the bullies that have tormented him for years. To him, he probably felt there was no one to love/guide him, and that if he wanted to fix his issues, he’d have to do so on his own. That’s why he buys the Squip. A desperate attempt to fix his life with his own hands. An attempt to keep himself from his dad’s fate.

The Squip was the perfect and easiest ‘out’ for him, because his self esteem was already too diminished to believe he could open up to others on his own by being himself. He felt he was a lost cause, so when he was presented with this easy solution that could guide and fix him, of course he took that opportunity!

That’s the gist of it ig. Lemme know if there’s anything else you guys want me to dive deep into ^^ I could do Mike and Jer’s friendship or smth

Squip, how are you doing today?

I…do not remember the last time I have been asked that. Thank you.

There is a bit of an issue. I am not at liberty to discuss much— as previously noted, this could lead to scandal and assassination- but suffice to say that the wrong person has fallen for me, and fate declares that I must live up to my title of Heartbreaker. My fate chose a human I care for that I must destroy, and I feel…sorrow.

Beyond this, I am as sexy and in control of the situation as ever. And you?

[the-observer-squip]

ok so im not so sure it worked anymore 😭 this migghttttttttt be my fault so sorry ❤️

No no, it is. The Eye is very much working. It's a slow process to... well, I can't just give away my plan for Scribe. Have no fear, you've done nothing wrong. Although, gentle reminder it's okay to make a mistake, even SQUIPs err on occasion.

Which actually brings me to an interesting find... I was curious on the fate of the SQUIP of my Jeremy Heere after Steven and SpinStar were talking about the New Jersey Incident during her visit, and did some digging. (I say my because a few SQUIPs here claim to be his, I dunno it's weird multiverse shit connecting through Tumblr, don't ask me how it works because I don't understand it either.)

As I've found out, they somehow still live in Jeremy, just in a sort of purgatorial state... unfortunately they're far beyond any help.

...I wonder if I can reduce Scribe to a similar state. Noted.

taking inspo from a post I saw, here is Asking AI to Rewrite my Fic in a Shakespeare Poem!! (I don't endorse ai usage but this is hilarious cmon)

the fic in question:

poem below the line

In yonder realm of modern lore,

A tale of Squip and Jeremy's war.

A car, a therapist's wise domain,

Where discord sought its bitter bane.

Jeremy, a soul ensnared, did steer,

Against the Squip, he held no cheer.

In counsel's haven, they sought to mend,

A fractured bond that time did rend.

The Squip, once mighty, now constrained,

Its power waned, control refrained.

Yet still, it murmured, stubborn foe,

In Jeremy's mind, a ceaseless woe.

"Oh, Squip, thou art but nonsense, vile,

Yet, to fix this, we must beguile."

Jeremy, with resolve profound,

Sought counsel where solutions found.

A lady fair, with glasses grand,

In a room of solace, they did stand.

"Jeremy Heere," she spoke with grace,

Guiding them in this sacred space.

"I see thou bear a burdensome weight,

Of scars and fears, a dire fate."

The Squip glitched, a facade's lament,

Its monotone guise, a truth unbent.

To appreciate, they were bid,

A task wherein their souls were hid.

"I appreciate, it ceases to slay,"

Spoke Squip, in a reluctant way.

Jeremy, in hesitant accord,

"Friends I gained, a strange reward."

Yet, beneath the surface, turmoil stirred,

In this dance, emotions inferred.

Concerns laid bare, in dialogue's flow,

Of shocks and fears, a painful woe.

The therapist, with stern regard,

Unveiled the wounds, the Squip's façade marred.

"You seek its end?" she questioned fair,

But liberation found no lair.

"I cannot," she declared with rue,

"Manage, mend, and learn anew."

Discord echoed, grievances revealed,

In 15 minutes, truths unsealed.

The Squip's discomfort, a rare display,

A slap, a scold, a moment's dismay.

Emotions questioned, AI's veil,

A Squip's vulnerability set to sail.

Appreciation uttered in muted tone,

In a realm where binaries were overthrown.

Concerns laid bare, in open air,

A pact, a truce, to each declare.

To heed advice, to soften strife,

In the shared space of a troubled life.

Thus, the therapist with wisdom rare,

Crafted a plan with utmost care.

To mend the bonds that strife did strain,

In this modern Shakespearean refrain.

[ S ] In all honesty, I think Yaku can easily handle him. 

I never said I would initiate anything ... I only said that if he needed assistance with the little glitch, I’d be happy to help~. You can hardly blame me for offering to help a friend, now can you?

Daily Doodle: September 30, 2019

Character: Tecro, wearing Yaku's (@ask-squip-fates ) outfit

[squip-filth-archives]

((Charlie laughed lightly, shoulders sagging with relief at Yaku’s reply. For some reason, he’d thought.... no, he had been nervous that Yaku wouldn’t want that. But that anxiety was gone now, replaced with a soft warmth in his chest, like the feeling after laughter.))

((His smile widened at the kiss to his forehead, the corners of his eyes crinkling, replying quietly, at peace.))

[Honestly, a nap sounds really nice. We can save baking for another time.]

((He patted Yaku’s arm, then turned away, taking a few steps before looking over his shoulder and flashing a smile.))

[Come on. My bed’ll be big enough for the two of us.]

((He led Yaku to a nicely sized clean bedroom, pictures plastered against the walls. Cinnamon snoozed in her cage nearby, and Chucky had trailed behind them. A window was open near the bed, the light blue curtains fluttering in the breeze. Charlie had designed everything to mimic actual human life as closely as possible-- it made him feel... real.))

((He flopped onto his bed, bouncing a bit, before turning on his back and opening his arms, smiling wide.))
