oh boy im having thoughts about miquella and malenia again!!!
i don't know if it was intentional or not but like yk seeing malenia's entire character and seeing how the most important thing to her (save for her brother) is her dignity and her pride and her sense of self. after a lifetime of fighting the scarlet rot malenia is someone who still resists it every day no matter how strong it gets because she is someone who will fight to the bitter end to make sure it doesn't overtake her, to make sure that she's still just her and not the vessel for the rot.
(of course, the exception to this is when she bloomed in aeonia and in her fight with us, but I'll call those last-ditch attempts arising out of desperation so)
you get it malenia suffers every day of her life and the rot threatens to consume her but she refuses to let it win and instead completely rejects it and scorns it; she won't let it take away what makes her her.
and contrast it with the dlc where we see her brother miquella do exactly the opposite of what she does. because of his crosses, we see how much of himself miquella has lost how he constantly sheds pieces of himself in his effort to become a god to the point where he even discards his love, his other half st. trina.
he did all this to fulfill his goals, to succeed in what he thought was right; what he thought was a necessary sacrifice that would only bring him closer to his goals of a kind and compassionate world. only the problem is it ended up making him into something he was not; miquella the kind was certainly not like miquella the unalloyed.
i am aware that miquella even in the base game was not the wow sunshine jesusesque figure that did no wrong and was purehearted through and through. even then there were hints to a more complex character, but I think the difference between miquella the kind and miquella the unalloyed is that the miquella of before was someone who cared so so deeply on such a personal level; he was someone who put his heart and soul into helping each and everyone whether it be by crafting prosthetics or needles for his sister to ward away the rot and the meddling of outer gods or whether it was to try to give his brother godwyn a proper death; he was someone who cared very very deeply and in a very personal manner. but afterwards, I think in his quest for godhood miquella became someone very distant, very impersonal in the way a benevolent god who is looking out for everyone and who is "doing the right thing no matter what because ik better and I have the power to fix things" is. he is very removed from that which he once was; he abandoned himself and subsequently abandoned the very ideals he was fighting for.
miquella the kind still wants a world filled with peace and compassion but now, he is a god, now he is someone willing to take the most drastic of measures because now he is no longer the boy that was miquella the unalloyed that believed in an age of compassion with love present. you cannot have compassion without having love which, of course, miquella the kind has abandoned.
i don't know there's just something interesting about these siblings where one has continuously resisted the urge of an outer god who is trying to force her into being something she does not want to be and then there is the one who willingly rips away that which makes him him because he thinks that this will help him become someone he should be; it will help him become the god that will fix this broken world.

You are faced with some random problem and the only person who can help you is the main character from the last piece of media you consumed (you can also do favorite character if there are multiple main characters). You can stay in this universe or be in the universe of the character, whichever you prefer, but the problem remains the same and the only person who can directly help you is the main character. That character can call on the help of those they know in their media, but when it comes down to it, they are the only person really helping you. How do you react to this situation?
Spin to find out your problem:

If that doesn't have potential for some fairytale nonsense, I don't know what does.
#time zones are a human invention#and sometimes they're downright absurd#spell components#that url for more info leads to a slightly longer article btw#among other things it tells me that someone swam between the islands in about two hours#freezing water btw#that definitely sounds like a quest challenge#'swim from tomorrow to yesterday without freezing to death'#'what???'#'you heard me'#fun facts

yeah this is a self-evident biological hierarchy. that's why we have to enforce it with violence
#bolo speaks#<- spends way too much time reading subreddits dedicated to catching incels in 4k and making fun of them to be good for her mental health#but genuinely the number of men online willing to say men are inherently [this way] and women are [that way] and that's why dissenters#should be BRUTALIZED is insane

Decided to do something a bit different. A local blue-collar worker finds a little feisty blue hedgehog and adopts him :)

Doey's 2/3 angsty traumatized teen, I think he'd love MCR
#poppy playtime#poppy playtime chapter four#doey the doughman#pianosaurus#I like to think Pianosaurus would have been a fun jokey kind of guy. He could have been so fun but nooo 10 seconds of screentime#he lives on in my heart. he gets a boss battle TO ME. He's so fun to draw please whyyyyyyyyy#Orange hand is Matthew (responsible 15y/o) Red legs is Kevin ('problem child') and short Yellow is Jackie (the kid who fell into the vat)#Jackie is too young and from a happy family. he would not know MCR. Matthew and Kevin would have listened to The Black Parade album on loop#Ignore that Black Parade came out in 2006 and Hour of Joy was 1995- emo music transcends time#my art

"doesn't this charater under insane stress going through extremely traumatic events realize how inconvenient their irrational emotional reactions are to the people around them?" well, see, you're not gonna believe this, but the thing is,
#the nemesis speaks#real people too tbh. but that's less fun and and will just make everyone really mad to think about#every time tho. EVERY time.#''they need to get it together'' i'm gonna get YOU. together.

You are made to live as a kind of house-pet for one week. You are well taken care of and loved, but you are unable to communicate to the person taking care of you that you are a person. What is your reaction?
Spin the wheel to find out which pet you will spend a week as.
