if sunny is the blond girl and slimeriana is the parents flippa is big sister to sunny ?

actually, if i were to go through with the slimeriana fam to be the northwests i would have flippa's death as an reason to why they are the way they are

mouthwashing is one of those games that having a 80% male cast very obviously Is Saying Something, with the one woman's role being traditional in that she is the Nurse, therefore Caretaker, and is given the burden of """supporting""" (BS bc capitalist hellscape company but also shed probably get blamed anyways) everyone else's mental health without ever getting even that fucking bullshit excuse for "mental health support" and is fucking Assaulted with no recourse (in some ways due to the nature of It's A Spaceship but also it was clearly Not Handled Well By The Captain) and y'know. Due to her role as caretaker she is given responsibility over the consequences of A DIFFERENT PERSON'S ACTIONS (THE ACTIONS HAPPENING EBCAUSE HE COULDNT DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF WHAT HE DID TO HER)

And then I have to see a million posts about Toxic Yaoi focusing on how the guy who hurt her hurt the guy who wasn't helping (like you can argue about his intent and why he didn't take certain actions and that's not wrong but the point for this post is that he did not fucking keep her safe which is in fact His Job and also just Basic Decency) and while yeah he did get hurt (INCREDIBLY HURT) that was as a consequence of HIS FRIEND TRYING TO ESCAPE THE CONSEQUENCES OF HURTING ANYA LIKE. LITERALLY THE WHOLE PLOT OF THE GAME HAPPENS BECAUSE HE HURT ANYA AND THEN REFUSED TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES. OH MY GOD

I am interested in ouch lol

I apologize in advance because this is like top 3 angstiest WIP I have lol. I am going to put A LOT of context, I guess you can read without it tho ? It's basically a role swap between Claire and Dimitri. Context right beneath, WIP under the cut

So yeah AU in which Claire doesn't want to die and so she starts working on a machine that could stabilize her body, except the machine kinda tampered with the fabric of reality during the first few tests (no real consequences because the machine isn't fully functional yet). Dimitri decides after hesitating for a loooong time that it is getting too dangerous and he goes get Layton to stop Claire. In the end Claire and Clive both finishes their projects at the same time (right before Layton gets there), so to make sure Claire and co would be too busy to stop him Clive breaks her machine. Not spoiling the very end of the AU (already spoiled like 90% lol) but yeah, this takes place after Claire has been trying to fix her machine.

It was laughable, really. She had spent so much time trying to make her machine work, only to figure out at the last possible moment that the generator was done for- and she couldn't fix it in time.

How could she waste so much time in such a stupid way ?

She tore her gaze away from her forever unfinished machine, the one that could have been her lifeline and was instead as lifeless as she would soon be and always had been at the same time.

She had run out of time- she was about to die again.

It wasn't laughable, actually- it was infuriating.

She just wanted to live. She didn't even want a happy life, or a fulfilled one, she just wanted a life. She would be so content with a bizarre life spent solving puzzles and mysteries all the time.

Instead, she was about to die. Worse than that, actually- she had to choose how she would die this time, the only choice she had been given. Would she disappear all alone with her broken hopes and broken body when the time had come ? Would she wait and hope for Hershel to come see her one last time, and share one last moment with him ? Would she try to stop Clive in time and save the world ?

'Save the world'. This was all so stupid. The world she was looking upon had never been the one of her time : all of this was just a glimpse of what she could never have, what could never be. After all, everyone but her had moved on : her choice wouldn't- shouldn't mean anything to any of them.

With a sigh, she closed her hand around the watch Hershel had given her.

-_-_-_-

CLAIRE FIC WOOHOO

6, 11, and 20 for Vic on the tech ask meme? :3

ty ty :3c Questions are here!

6. Write out a text exchange between them and another OC. You know i had to drag poor Valentine into this <3 Created using @luvwich's cp77 message thread generator!

11. Are they the kind of person who takes selfies? Oh absolutely. While the volume she takes has vastly decreased since the '20s (she still has a significant portion of these saved, a majority of them having a certain Elvis gemini posing with her and more than a few with Smasher in his Samson frame)

she stills snaps one every now and then, usually mirror selfies. Like is she supposed to not take a picture when she looks so damn good?

20. What’s in their email inbox? To preface unlike a certain someone (me, hi) Victoria has a disgustingly organised inbox - folders upon folders with a system that makes sense to her but not immediately obvious to anyone who might be snooping where they shouldn't be, but as for what you might find;

 a disgusting amount of meeting invites, from 15-min catch ups over coffee to 8hr+ ordeals

 Correspondence relating to the OIZYS project, including notifications on who enters the allocated floor and when.

 A thread started by Arthur Jenkins in '76; marked urgent and strongly worded. Outright threatening by his third response in a way best described as professionally thuggish, following that Smasher was CC'd in.

Smasher's mailbox and calendar, she has Send On Behalf permissions for the former and editor permissions for the latter. Includes a shit ton of gig requests even after her intense filtering that auto-declines those that include key phrases (ie 'no collateral' etc)

Emails between her and Smasher; usually short and dry, typically in relation to gigs and any assigned arasaka business

Requests from Michiko Arasaka for her to help with an assortment of things relating to Danger Gal

Exchanges with Danger Gal agents that seem harmless enough :)

A plethora of (legitimate) offers and discounts on fancy ass shit that is still eye-wateringly expensive even with 15% off.

Multiple newsletters, relating to breakthroughs and updates across a great many fields. Also several on fashionware.

All of these would be organised into folders as i mentioned if not deleted, but the one email that's not and sits almost pride of place in her inbox is from Yorinobu Arasaka, dated 2053, informing her of her re-reinstatement as Smasher's assigned netrunner due to her understanding of how he works and ability to 'keep pace' where the replacements he attempted to assign died trying.

What do you think about Arya? In general or endgame or whatever you feel like going into king

LOVE ARYA feral little genderfreak going through identity issues and parental grief HES LITERALLY ME.... i say im theonkin but i KNOW im aryakin.

i♡arya though im not a huge fan of most interpretations of her, ESPECIALLY the show interpretation.

ARYA'S MURDEROUS TENDENCIES ARE BAD. SHE IS A LITTLE GIRL WITH A FAMILY AND SHR IS 9 AND SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MURDER PEOPLE TO SURVIVE. it is fucked! it is fucked its not awesome and slay and girlboss. ok it is a little and i hope she kills more evil people BUT LIKE NARRATIVELY IT IS BAD!

i also like reading her through the Gender Lens!! shes assigned female at birth and assigned traits and assigned a life path and she does not fucking want it! she doesnt have the words yet cos theyre Literally not invented but her struggle with identity is more linked to her name (stark) than to 'returning' to her gender idk if that makes sense. it does to me♡

i dont think she's sailing west. i think itd be very odd for her to do so since shes finally found her family and finally found her home again. i dont think its terribly out of character for her, but i always kinda liked the idea of her becoming an outlaw robin hood type? like a bwb ending. i havent like thought of it analytically i just think its fun and she's have fun doing that.

i dont think she'll settle down with gendry and rule as the lady of storms end with gendry legitimised and they have 10 kids all named eddard and catelyn and robb and nymeria. i think the asos gendrya stuff is sweet but i think its grrm gardening more than grrm laying down arya's endgame. i think gendrya's cute tho!!! shes just like 10 rn so ew, but i wouldnt be mad at a gendrya endgame :)

i believe she will encounter lady stoneheart. idk how but i think she will!! i want her to hug her mother i want LSH to feel love and peace in her unbeating heart.

ALSO AND THIS IS FANSERVICEY BUT I WANT HER TO SEE NYMERIA AGAIN.... i think its a good Seeing Yourself moment. like she can never return to who she was before. scream!

also i use she her pronouns for arya cos its like. fucking canon. but i see her as agender or some such flavour of genderfuckery.... for like a week in middle school she's wolfgender and goes by paw/paws/pawself and howl/woofs/barkself and no one can tell if shes serious or being a dick to people with neopronouns. but she was somewhat serious she was trying it out but her teachers were dicks and wouldnt do it so she figured it wasnt worth the fuss. i also think she's a furry OK insane tangent done

satoru being into edging heck yess!! I can see it, i imagine col reader teasing him from behind while giving him a nice hj and he's exasperated because he loves it but at the same time he cannot kiss her and mark her with his seed when he comes undone, not until he's just about to spill it all he takes her by a surprise and kisses her all over, all while he's marking her. He's a whinny overstimulated sensitive mess of a baby, he just wants to pamper and be pampered and loved. 😭😭

oh god i hope this isn't too much! if u have thoughts on this to share pls do! I love em aaa

Have you ever thought about how Linebeck describes Jolene as "crazier than a rabid squid"- only to then be possessed by a literal rabid squid later in the game?

Cause I sure have- especially after seeing a lot of your BellumxLinebeck stuff

mmmmghmm im gonna be honest i haven't thought about it much at all

linking it to my bellum x linebeck thoughts, im not too sure what to make of it in context with my other linebeck notes and w/e

there's also my idea that linebeck has a special interested in shellfish and by extension squids, and the idea of him having a weird thing for bellum, and just... enjoying sealife, and it's kinda of...

he compares her to a rabid squid to link in order to i think... offer a shorthand explanation of what she's like, and i think it (with some other stuff) is kinda just another little peek into how he might feel abt her?

i mean he also compares link to a dog in that one letter? i'm not sure where im going with that one. i dont think linebeck particularly likes dogs

i'm not sure abt the link between that and him getting possessed, jolene is kind of just... there a lot of the time and doesn't really do anything except 1) show that linebeck has enemies and 2) show that people know about link's quest by the end, linebeck generally references sea creatures a few times in ph

relating to bellum x linebeck, i dont see him comparing jolene to a squid an indicator of anything in relation to that, with linebeck having a thing for bellum its more of like. there's a lot of complicated ideas i have with what goes on between them during bellumbeck and bellum being a squid thing is more linebeck having a bit of a monsterfucker streak and having a bit of a thing for like. being tied up. as for literal squids he kinda just likes them as food and to dissect and learn about

like i think 'rabid squid' is more like linebeck just tossing out some derogatory shorthand to explain how he thinks of jolene as some fucking. violent annoyance he has to deal with that he doesn't fully understand

tbh i see the comparison but imo it comes down to a difference in characters and interactions and histories, there is the rabid squid thing (and i think in the manga too theres a vague parallel drawn ig) but im not. sure. what there is there just beyond. linebeck talks about sea creatures and wants to get the fuck away from jolene

i'm not entirely certain what you've been thinking about with that comparison, but i haven't been thinking much about it and it's kinda. eh ig???? its something

While Lifesteal's default state of conflict is very similar to Hobbes' state of war, this conflict is actually encouraged by the nature of the server and and generally an accepted part of their society. They do not have the innate craving for peace that Hobbes describes and therefore an attempt to force them into a more peaceful society is destined to fail.

There is also already morals and codes that individuals abide by and no alternative is being presented by the Leviathan. A stable set of rules that all are subject to is part of the appeal of society according to Hobbes.

Also technically for Hobbes the collective does still have to entrust their individual liberties into a sovereign.

its past midnight and time to yap about Mouthwashing. Anyway obviously we don't see the Specific Events only how the characters react but with Anya... Okay I'm going to talk about the Sexual Assault not with Specific Details but that's what the post is about so

Anyways she reads to me as very like... trying to downplay the severity to herself. Like thinking through it (not having the exact quotes but) I feel like it'd be an unfortunately natural reaction- if you were stuck with 4 guys and the guy with the second highest position on the ship assaulted you depending on the situation. I feel like its not hard to imagine you'd try and reframe it as Less Bad to cope because let me be honest if I had to confront the implications of that, mainly the fact he could do it again and I wouldn't have any real way of dealing with it without complicating things even further bc he doesn't just have a close relationship with the guy with the Most Power on the ship, he also is in charge of keeping Me and The Other People On The Ship Safe, i would be in deep denial just to not lose my god damn mind like thats so fucking scary. And then the implication you tried to talk to the captain and even if he wasn't cruel he didn't Understand the Severity of what you were suggesting is like. Besides feeling afraid it could genuinely really fuck with my own perception bc like "if this guy who I trust says he's not a bad person maybe I'm just overreacting?" is. Again unfortunately understandable.

And again I'll say that Anya fully breaks down when the news breaks that pony express is fucked and like. 1. I think that's related to her own finances (and also. Literally just realized the way an abortion could interact badly with "no savings" like I Just Processed that fact. Like I knew "oh if she couldn't abort having to support a child wouldn't just be traumatic but also fucking nightmarish finance wise" but even having an abortion could make things so much harder.) 2. Jimmy LASHES OUT at Curly OPENLY. again based on my interpretation of Mildly In Denial To Cope this would. Like. Really fuck with that because it goes from "I trust the captain and I don't want to be afraid of my crewmate for a year" to "oh he is willing to verbally abuse the captain, who is his friend" and realizing I wasn't overreacting.

I also wanna point to the dead pixel conversation and obv it's symbolic but idk if it's meant as "there's a dead pixel that Anya noticed and she's using the topic to like test the waters" or if it's "anya is literally just trying to figure out Curly's thought process" which isn't like super important but like. Focusing on the way she starts the conversation by saying that she "Likes the illusion the screen has". (I don't remember the exact words sorry) But that's really interesting to me bc obviously you can read into Curly not seeing the dead pixel and instead focusing on the bigger picture (and how the dead pixel "doesn't ruin the illusion") but I think it's really interesting that Anya starts by talking Positively about the screen even though the dead pixel is there (and she can't stop thinking about it)

Like thinking through implications option 1: she's talking about the screen and uses the dead pixel to get a feel for how Curly responds to her bringing up issues

2: she's being entirely metaphorical and still trying to sort of self soothe- seeking external validation that the dead pixel Isn't Actually That Big A Deal (and therefore she's just overthinking)

3: idk how to phrase this exactly but ppl have talked Abt the way she talks to Jimmy, how it indicates a sort of "Fawn" response where she tries to keep him calm with compliments and stuff, and her talking about "enjoying the illusion" is her trying to do something similar with Curly- essentially starting the metaphor by downplaying the issue

Anyway. I don't know if I have a full conclusion but another thing is I think ppl need to acknowledge that while Curly fucked up and harmed Anya (mainly thru inaction). He's not uniquely shitty. Most people will be in a situation where they act similarly, and that DOES NOT JUSTIFY HIS ACTIONS. I AM NOT SAYING CURLY IS ANY BETTER. I am saying that you need to be able to recognize your capacity for harm thru inaction and understand that like. He's not uniquely terrible he's just Normal Levels Of Unhelpful, which in a situation like Anya's is Dangerous

Like. Basically you can say "fuck jimmy fuck curly" all you want but you need to be able to understand that everyone including yourself has the same capacity for harm
