#different jumpers

Oh I almost forgot, here’s my own personal arachnid propaganda: I have 11 of them as pets. 7 tarantulas and 4 true spiders.

I’m sure most people have already voted, but in case you’re still on the fence, here are my children. I don’t have good pics of them all (and I can’t post more than 10 anyway) but:

Figueroth - Brachypelma klaasi - “Mexican Pink Beauty”

Yet unnamed Brachypelma emilia - “Mexican Redleg”

Houdini - Brachypelma boehmei - “Mexican Fireleg”

Clifford - Brachypelma hamorii - “Mexican Redknee”

Pookie - Brachypelma albiceps - “Golden Red Rump”

Yet unnamed Tlitocatl vagans - “Mexican Red Rump”

Bambalam - Grammostola pulchra - “Brazilian Black”

Yet unnamed Phidippus mystaceus

Blueberry - Eresus ruficapillus - “Italian Velvet Spider”

🕷

Jolene - Kukulcania arizonica - “Black Hole Spider”

Sold to me as an “Arizona Wolf Spider”, I believe she’s probably a Hogna carolinensis - “Carolina Wolf Spider”

(I used to have more than just, uh, Brachypelma and Brachypelma-adjacent tarantulas; the Brachys have just outlived the others lol)

The Ramble of Relativity

I read one line and went “I could psychoanalyze that.”

I find it interesting that, when Sayeon asks “am i a bad person or just a weak one?” to Ryujin, after a moment Ryujin replies with “well, it’s all relative, isn’t it?” and considers how she’d look depending on someone else’s point of view. I was wondering, did she say that because that’s what she genuinely thinks, or is this another sign of how distant these two are? Or is it both?

What We Know

Ryujin avoided the question. Instead of answering, she diverts the attention to what others (specifically the Corps) would think instead of what she thought. I believe that she did that because she’s aware of how little she knows about Sayeon as a person.

Consider her perspective; Sayeon Lee, someone she’s thought strange since day one, someone who has deliberately done something cruel just to cause her harm, someone who has unintentionally proven herself to be the kind of person who says something and does another, offers her a deal that involves giving her information against the people who’ve (maybe) killed her entire family and caused her to experience hell for a year. All in exchange for using her gift (which she was extremely well-versed in despite not using it for over a year.. Something tells me playing instruments wasn’t all they did in the concordat.). Ryujin avoids answering the deal here.

Not long after, Sayeon runs off alone into an abandoned warehouse again and the rest is history. Keep in mind, she knows Sayeon had done something to Father Hope’s partner, though she doesn’t know exactly who or what. This leaves her with a couple of questions that I’m sure she wanted to ask, but didn’t get the chance to because the next time she sees Sayeon she’s crying.

They start talking and that’s where Sayeon says the most obvious lie she’s ever told (quote unquote “I don’t even remember why I cried”) and, surprisingly, it’s the only one Ryujin doesn’t press her on.

Now that I’ve summarized what we already know; let’s move on to the ‘theory’ part.

Speculation

Combining this information together, it’s no wonder why she thinks she’s not an adequate person to decide whether or not Sayeon is a good person. Why would she, when she doesn’t know the reasons as to why Sayeon does half the things she does?

I believe that the reason Ryujin decided not to call out yet another one of Sayeon's lies is a simple one. She knew offering words of comfort was way out of her range so instead she decided to call her out on a different lie she told, which, by all means, would make the situation worse if it weren’t for Sayeon’s mind being somewhere else. Ryujin said what she said clearly expecting a rebuttal, so did she want things to return to the status quo? (was her way of comforting her basically making her feel bad about something else?)

…UNRELATED but Heron's cut off fingers are definitely going to come back in the future. Are Aberrant fingerprints superior to humans? Are they going to.. I don't know- make Rapture with it? What can you do with just two fingers other than cross ‘em?

Trying to explain to the demons who brought him back as a nightmare concept why he still hasn't killed anyone in 20 years because his comeback needs to be Special, it needs to be These kids, at This age so that they have something to lose
