#but also like??????? did we uh tamagotchi'd the puppet (which i already said it before) or????

[disastersteps]

i don't think i hadn't talk about aoyun, anita's puppet, in a long time

(when i did my replay for rebirth a while back, i used a male puppet and named him james 'cause originally i was going to have anita realizing they like being masculine but. changed plans because anita went transmasc waaaay earlier as sidestep instead of present times. damn u neets.), but also because i want to see the consequences of the retribution to the next one so baddddd LET ME SEEEEE-

anyway. aoyun.

the earliest iteration i had of anita's puppet was named Yasmin (one of the default names) but i chose Aoyun because of its meaning!

She's... meant to be opposite of Anita, but it is still very Anita at the core. Anita feel like it's still like being themself, and it didn't help that being friends with Ortega as Aoyun made them painfully missed being themself with her, which didn't help with their secret crush LMAO also, because of ortega's friendship, it didn't help that anita also started to care about Mortum as themself, not as Aoyun.

Anita originally thought of Aoyun as a tool, as a informat, and using their formerly experiences as a Farm cuckoo who used to be a charming woman back in the older days at the start of rebirth, but grown to care about this puppet enough that they were planning to leave her in the best healthcare they could find. they were going to, at least, leave her comfortable.

she deserves a good place rather than the place they first found her (which. i want to know-)

but they can't stop being Aoyun, it was the only way to feel happy with Julia- to feel like when they used to be Sidestep and always chatty and rolling their eyes with her. That's why it was so hard to leave her behind.

beside they still need contacts and more information a little more soooo yeah.

And yes, they never sent Aoyun there to HG.

(which is when I saw that ending sO YEAH.)
