I DID IT I WROTE THE PROMISED CARCER ANGST RAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

(TW: he talks about death and dying in, like, uncomfortable detail? Like it's happening to him (it kinda is). Also, like beforus culling and implied abuse. it's nothing that bad.)

Quirked version:

Unquirked:

You are Something, to me Something. Someone. I’m always asking someone something- Is it your fault? Or do I blame you? You’ve become a convenient excuse to me. A worn out coat behind which I can hide the rot that was there long before you arrived. The water is cold, killing cold, and I don’t care. I died once, and now I’m forever cycling, forever dying. I owe that to you. I owe it to you and I resent you for it in equal part. At least now I can stay out as long as I like. You are A cure, so you say. Just another symptom, I mutter. If you’re told something long enough you begin to believe it, and I don’t know how long I’ve been told- I need you I think, at least. I don’t want to, I go here to leave you behind, but I do. I can feel the numbness setting in. The frost and freeze is familiar to me. An antidote, the paradox of pain Is that it can soothe the aching. You soothe nothing but the guilt of a crowd. She is Coming here, to my planet My island in the sky. Tomorrow she will pluck me from the sea and hold me tight against her while you watch, unreadable, unreadable and- Cold, I feel cold to my core. I die again, it means nothing anymore. To die, I mean. I have known her. Known what she calls caring. She seems as cold as you, but her home is the only hearth I know. I am a creature of cold, but I tear myself from your frigidity for hearth and home and heat whenever I can manage. I wonder if it will drive you away from me. I know it never will.

I FOUND THE ORIGINAL GIRLCARCER

[upward-centrifuge]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THEY ALL FINALLY HAVE NAMES AND CHUMHANDLES

most of the names will probably be changed but the chumhandles are almost all permanent and good. you should totally ask me about them.

This Carcer drawing was good but I don't know if I'll ever finish it so you guys can just have it like this I guess

He does have another hand I just erased it and didn't get around to redrawing it

[upward-centrifuge]

considering the way that mind as an aspect is, I think it's extremely worrying that the two mind players fragments has are a girl that wants to be team rocket irl and a guy who drowns in subarctic waters as a hobby

[upward-centrifuge]

Okay here's the promised friendship post

Surprise! It's not about the major friendships in fragments, it's about the friendships I either have to be careful with or prevent because they'd be so good for each other that they'd get character development too soon.

Roonei Cannel and Genetz Anttio: aspects do matter in fragments and Roonei, a light player, is really drawn to both void players and I think you can do with that what you will. Also this friendship happens.

Tiixit Matsya and Mentis Consil: there is surely an alternate universe whete Mentis sought advice from Tiixit instead of Reptir and it is a much happier world for everyone. This one doesn't happen.

Roonei Cannel and Vireni Cannel: guys stop fighting :(

Carcer Laedre and Tintoa Priepe: the hating Reptir Priepe club is now in session. But in all seriousness I think Tintoa would help Carcer stand up for himself and Carcer would teach her ways of resistance that don't involve excessive violence. This one doesn't happen.

Vireni Cannel and Eldred Anttio: the Cannels and Anttios have interesting relationships. Anyways these two have the sibling relationship with each other they wish they could have with their own dancestors.

Roonei Cannel and unnamed Alternian ceruleanblood: physical illness and mental illness solidarity lmfaooooo. anyway they understand each other. Roonei is on here a lot because fragments Roonei is desperately lonely and I think having close friends would fix her.

I'll add onto this because there were others I forgot

Okay I'm making a romance list for fragments because I was talking about it so now I'm thinking about it and also I'm making a post about friendships later so here's the big ones

Leusse Laedre <3< Mentis Consil c3< Eldred Anttio: world's most dysfunctional ashen relationship in multiple ways. I desperately need them to break up.

Protse Consil <3</<3 unnamed beforan ceruleanblood <3 Genetz Anttio <3/<> Tiixit Matsya: the less functional of the two Beforan polycules. Ship name for Protse and the ceruleanblood is Snakebite. Ship name for Genetz and the ceruleanblood is Bro Code. They're not really a polycule so much as they fell prey to what I can imagine is a common occurrence with quadrant romance, which is that they fell into a dating chain by accident. Also I think it's funny that Genetz is nominally gay but is not ever seen dating a man. His matesprit is bigender and his moisprit is non binary. Speaking of said bigender matesprit this player really managed to pull a gay man AND a lesbian huh? That's wild bro.

Protse Consil <> Reptir Priepe: sure gay marriage is cool and all but have you ever heard of lesbian divorce?

Roonei Cannel <3< Tintoa Priepe: they r playing gay chicken and Tintoa is losing. BADLY. I figure this story deserved one cheesy unproblematic teen romance amid all the drama and toxicity but I went with a blackrom couple to fill that niche because I get bored of red.

Carcer Laedre, Vereni Cannel, unnamed beforan oliveblood, and unnamed beforan mutantblood's <3</<> (and occasionally c3<) polycule: ship name make war not love. never underestimate the power of a complicated, mostly asexual anarchist polycule. Also some of them are firmly stuck in either pitch or pale, some of them are vacillated, but somehow they're all pitch or pale except for the occasional foray into auspitism. Do not separate them. We're not making it out of troll Portland with this one (except not actually because grumblr already has a troll Portland polycule I think)

sorry i literally can't stop talking about fragments to save my life but tbh i think i did good on Carcer's classpect

"bard of mind" okay? slay?

[upward-centrifuge]

Fun fact Leusse's Trollian handle was initially campyVillain instead of spunkyVillain and I had to change it because of fUCKING CARCER, THAT DUMB SLUT

[upward-centrifuge]

I drew girl Carcer at school today and she literally looks exactly like regular Carcer but with a bucket hat

[upward-centrifuge]

Drawing Carcer rn and he looked so badass until I put the fishin vest on him lmao

[upward-centrifuge]

Carcer is funny as fuck because he will give people the most unhinged ass nicknames and Not Explain who he is fucking talking about and I just

LEUSSE: s2 y2u h1te 1ll 2f these pe2ple

CARCER: NO ACT3ALLY ME AND SHIRTS ARE CHILL

LEUSSE: ...c22l. 1wes2me.

LEUSSE, INTERNALLY: wh2 the FUCK is shirts

[upward-centrifuge]

Me: I'll never write a w/v quirk because there's already a shit ton of characters with those and I don't even particularly like it as a quirk

Me writing Carcer:

[upward-centrifuge]

their crimes and punishments under the cut

Eldred

crime: being mildly shitty to his friends during a time in which he could not disentangle his feelings about himself from his feelings about them.

punishment: identity crisis due to complete lack of a sense of self

Carcer

crime: several, but none severe enough to fit the punishment. god just hates him.

punishment: self destructive tendencies as a way of seizing control from those who have stolen it from him

Tiixit

crime: actual felonies, actually, but technically they were forced to do those.

punishment: a grief and guilt they cannot ever shake

you may have noticed that these punishments do not even remotely fit the crimes. that's because the justice system sucks! hope this helps!

one of my trolls is gonna be gods chosen sufferer tomorrow because by god am i feeling it today

[upward-centrifuge]

what if i did progress updates on classpects like they were bug updates maybe that would be fun and make me wanna work

Double heir fix - I was thinking about making both Tembit and Tiixit heirs. This is untenable. Finally fixed it.

Carcer Laedre has been modified from a Bard of Mind to a Page of Mind

to be honest this is a way better fit for him and he was originally a Bard because he was originally a very different person.

Tembit Timbuk has been modified from an Heir of Blood to a Bard of Blood

this is badass.

Tiixit Matsya has been confirmed for now as an Heir of Space

Misc. - this is just me temporarily confirming some of the classpects I had in mind lmao

Leusse Laedre has been confirmed for now as a Prince of Mind

Eldred Anttio has been confirmed for now as an Heir of Void

Peleme Cuimia has been confirmed for now as a Witch of Hope

Gabrie Eangil has been confirmed for now as a Sylph of Rage

Tintoa Priepe has been confirmed for now as a Seer of Heart

and won a special little medal for being the easiest fucker in fragments to classpect

Genetz Anttio has been confirmed for now as a Prince of Void

Vereni Cannel has been confirmed for now as a Maid of Light

[upward-centrifuge]

Carcer is a cis man and he doesn't ever stop being one unlike another "cis man" in fragments

HOWEVER, of all the cis characters in fragments, he has the highest likelihood of being a trans woman because

Leusse is also a Laedre and she's a trans woman.

Leusse is KNOWN to have a penchant for cracking eggs, and she's pretty close to Carcer.

The people trying to control his life treat him alternately like an incompetent idiot and a dangerous criminal mastermind depending on what gets their point across

I drew him as a girl once and he looked exactly the same as normal but with a bucket hat
