I’ve just realized that there are two bisexual trans-coded women in Arknights who had crushes on male higher ups in a company who are also absolute bastards.

Monch crushed on Gnosis (from what ive heard, ive only read like the first chapter of Break the Ice)

Astgenne crushed on Ferdinand (but now she’s got Dorothy)

Extremely accurate analysis.

Monch was down bad for Gnosis until he told her to her face that he was lying to her (because he had to do his whole scheming 4D chess yaoi with Silverash 🤢). It’s okay though, she left his ass and didn’t even keep the knife her gave her to kill herself with to stop herself from giving information to the enemy if she got captured. Actually now that I think about it, we don’t know if that was why Gnosis gave her the knife or if she just decided that’s what it was for. She’s like, really into being a nefarious schemer’s number 1 goon. Anyway, Monch also gets to have an affair with Sciurus Browntail. But I think her husband is okay with it actually.

As for Astgenne, she was crushing on a married man who has a kid. I’m so glad she got over him for Dorothy because good god who wouldn’t want Dorothy. I 100% understand why she still takes care of Dorothy (who can’t help herself to save her life) even though it’s not in her job description anymore

Break the Ice was actually next in my line of re-reads so I put it off until I read through Lake Silberneherze and I really gotta say I have such a profound appreciation for Ratatos now. I feel her weird woman persona gets a bit lost in the shuffle with Encoides and Gnosis but the fact that Encoides and Ratatos both basically admit to each other that what separates them as people is largely experience is kind of great. Ratatos' issues with Encoides doesn't even really have to do with what he's doing, it's the fact that he was going to screw her over that pissed her off.

It really is two awful people and then Arctosz who is really trying to do his best lmao.

Really nice seeing her turn things around and start blackmailing this piece of shit.

I haven't played through Break The Ice so I have no idea about the context but maybe it's better that way.

Talking with a friend about Monch from Kjerag and now I wanna ramble, let's go!!!

Ok, so Monch is a side character in the first event, and an even more minor character in the second. (I deeply want her as a decent 5* welfare next Kjerag event please I beg!)

She is Sciurus's most trusted confidant and companion. Despite secretly working for Gnosis (oh ill get to his fuck face in a sec) she genuinely works to help the Browntail clan and especially Sciurus. She grows pretty attached to her from what little we are allowed to see. That's made explicitly clear at the end of RS when her and Sciurus reunite.

In BI, she's working for Gnosis as an informant and spy. She places a ton of trust in him and his judgement,, but definitely begins to question things when she has to directly take action against the Browntail clan. Eventually, the smug prick outright betrays her and leaves her for dead essentially.

Now I could write an essay on why I genuinely dislike Gnosis and Silverash. They are well written, and I think they are written specifically to hate, so props to the story writers. But back to dear Monch.

Because of his devastating betrayal, she is forced to go into hiding. She even has to abandon Sciurus and goes no contact for a pretty lengthy period. That shit hurt to read.

They were so close as to be essentially better sisters than the actual browntail sisters. And yet, here she is having to dissappear because of a war monger and his dick wad of a bf.

Thankfully, in RS, we finally get to see them reunite near the end. It's not a very long moment, fuck I wish there was more, but it at least vrings them back together.

RS was full of moments I could stand and shout about for days, it's such a good event. This is one of those moments for me. Seeing them come back together and still have that same trust and care for one another.

Now, Sciurus is married (and iirc expecting a child?). But, idk, I simply can not see these two apart. And I think Yucatan absolutely understands that too. So yeah, I poly ship them.

Monch and Sciurus have a label of them in my head that says "DO NOT SEPERATE" and that's a rare thing in my ship addled mind.

I really really hope we get to see more of them next Kjerag trip, and even sweeter if she was a 5* welfare. I can cope and dream at least.

Anyway thanks for reading me ramble pointlessly again lmao
