#dude talked shit and died for it

Sometimes when I'm desperate I hunt through Ao3 and Toilet specifically is a difficult one because he tends to be tagged in fics only to appear for like two seconds. Which saddens the Toilet fan in me. But today I found one, and while it was needlessly violent and out-of-character, Toilet calling MePad a wanker was funny enough to make it worth it. Like, what an asshole. I love it.

I really like the idea of the power imbalance that could come from a victim who can't use the respawn machine; especially if everyone else on the base can. The isolation that comes with being a new member of the team that already has years of chemistry, knowing that assassins don't exactly get an HR for interpersonal conflicts on the job site, anyway. You're more vulnerable, socially and physically. If a Pyro decides to light you up, you're permanently dead. Even if you manage to kill someone, they'll just come back a few minutes later.

Maybe Medic or Engineer saying it will only take a week or two until your respawn is available (and "delaying" it more and more, simply because it's funny to watch). Pauling calling you and saying they're not planning to give you respawn until you manage a higher killstreak.

Everyone in the base is a sadist. They probably don't even like you, let alone feel deeper emotions when they all nearly kill you during off hours.

It's probably only after months of constant near misses that one of the members starts to think of just how far they could take your desire to stay alive. Your respawns still not up, so you're not in a position to say no...

OR, for your consideration: someone on the other team realizing you don't have a respawn because there isn't a version of you on their team. Spy is probably the first to pick up on this (maybe Medic is a close second) since keeping a level head and multitasking is his job description. He knows you're vulnerable. And then it just becomes fun to try to single you out every round.

Sandy: "Hurting others isn't a measure of one's strength—took me a really long time to realize that. As long as I'm doing something to help out a friend, I don't mind what it is! I just want to be there for 'em when they need me. Because at the end of the day, helping my friends is more important than anything else in the world!"

Azure Lion: "It's too late to save them, we can't risk unleashing the curse into the world!" MK: "You don't know, we'd risk it for sure! I won't abandon them when they need us."

Okay, apparently shutting the fuck up was never an option but the way no one likes to look at the marina situation and go "wow what the fuck is wrong with portia"? Crazy.

Like she immediately didn't like her, not because of anything she'd done, but because she took attention from her daughters no matter how bright she dressed them.

It didn’t matter that the main reason is that, honestly all 3 of her daughters are painfully awkward, and in ones case literally 17. It didn’t matter that Marina was only there at her fathers instance, or that theoretically through having someone thats clearly popular in her home she could have used it as a jump off mark to match her daughters, she was seen as her big hurdle to marrying them off. Marinas immediately othered, to the point that when shes being dressed the maids helping put on her shoes is enough to piss Portia off. She immediately puts Marina in the same ring as her daughters, fight for my attention and maybe maybe it'll be positive. But Marina doesn't do that because she doesn't want to even be there.

And then they find out she's pregnant and shes othered even more. She immediately tries to send her back, and when she's not allowed to do that shes locked away and the other girls aren't even allowed to talk to her. She literally tries to freeze her out, like Marina has any say in being there in the first place, before lying to her about her being abandoned by George.

She makes no attempt to find out if George has family, she doesn't care enough to try even though that would have been a way to get rid of her "problem". She tries to push Marina onto a man old enough to be her grandfather and slaps her across the fucking face when she tries to stand up for herself.

Theres no concern for her safety, for the babys safety, just getting her out of her house as fast as fucking possible, and I'm meant to be surprised that when Colin saves Marina from her elderly suitor she turns her attention to him?

Like the nicest guy, who everyone likes, who's attractive, who isn't multiple decades older than her and most importantly not going to literally assault her? Yeah not a big shocker. Should she have lied to him? No, but she wouldn't have had to or felt the need to if she wasn't in the most hostile fucking house. Even Penelope, who she likes, why does everyone forget that she fucking likes Penelope and viewed her as a friend, becomes aggressive towards her. Shes cornered, shes scared, and all of this could have been avoided if Portia was a slightly better person and said "hey soilder boys not written back, you're gonna have this kid, does he have any family?" instead of setting this entire mess in motion.

The thing about League Jayce/Giopara is that, while he is an ass, he's also somewhat in the right (or at least Has A Point).

Like, League Viktor did do some pretty shady shit-like come up with a concept for a Diving Suit that could remove a person's ability to feel fear, which would have all sorts of potential for being exploited ad turned into full mind control. Giopara was understandably horrified, and reported Viktor to the Academy. (I don't know if Giopara expected for it to escalate into full-on exile, but I think reporting your partner for doing something you think is super unethical is a reasonable thing to do.)

(League Viktor also tried the "turn people into Hive Mind" thing, but only once as far as I'm aware-and on a much smaller scale than on his Arcane counterpart. He doesn't do it anymore, and he's very express about consent in all of his lore after that, but he did try it once.)

So yes, Giopara's a raging asshole-but it's not entirely his fault that his and Viktor's relationship crashed and burned. (I don't think he's entirely innocent in the affair-far from it-but he at least had a good reason.)

oh yeah like. from my (admittedly limited, take whatever i say with a grain of salt and all) knowledge of the lore it was very much a "they both got a point but neither of them can be normal about it or sit down and have a reasonable conversation to save their lives".

like the glorious evolution thing is some fucking insane eugenics bullshit, viktor's ethical and human rights violations are probably in the triple digits at this point, and he is constantly breaking and stealing giopara's shit, but at the same time. giopara has the tendency to "act first think later" in a lot of situations, has a terribly black and white view of things (they both do, to some extent), and him viewing (or at least saying? i think?) the robotic augmentations as removing what makes them human is also. kinda really fucked up. the removal of emotions temporarily is not necessarily a bad idea, there are plenty of situations it could be applied to save lives, but it could easily be exploited by people with bad intentions. but it was still just a concept, not even in any workshop phase, so im not sure if reporting it (especially given viktor's tract record with the academy already fucking him over once and their view on him) was the right call. I get why he did that, but it still escalated things and pretty much ruined viktor's career over a proposed concept. the factory incident wasn't giopara's fault entirely (you know vik maybe refusing to explain the body horror shit you're pulling off and trying to kill him right off the bat is a bad idea but hey you do you) but like. people still died because he smashed that crystal.

zaun lacks a lot of the resources piltover has and viktor's augmentations genuinely does help a lot of people, but has so many internalized issues he's taking out on the world and again the eugenics shit is really bad. giopara does genuinely want to do good and get through to viktor but he's also an asshole who acts without thinking and has a hard time seeing each other's worldviews. both of them have a point but they won't properly communicate it with the other and decided to make it everyone else's problem.

if either of theses bitches could have a proper discussion (like actual adult fucking communication good lord) and consider each other's views for five minutes maybe we could get somewhere.

tldr get these bitches some fucking therapy. individual AND couples. good god

kinda drives me up a wall when people go "hey i think x action in a war/combat scenario is inhumane and cruel and shitty" and someone responds with "oh but within the laws of war it's allowed or there's procedure for it etc etc". it doesn't have to be a war crime to be unforgivable man it's a shitty rulebook anyway
