#funger rambling

[masked-and-doomed]

What the hell is Pocketcat hitting in that sack.

A child, you might think, but no. It isn't. All the children are either dead or moonscorched. See the orphanage. I believe the moon came a bit before our protags did and the contestants can't last 3 days under the moon. So, I don't think there can be any survivous.

Pocketcat doesn't seem to be interested in moonscorched children since the orphanage still has cherubs roaming around.

So what. The hell. Is in that goddamn sack.

Why does his hair get straight when he ascends? Anyways Le'garde is so fucking cool. I like to imagine that he knows he's wrong, that the whole "one soul being corrupted for the salvation of many" thing is bullshit, that it's mostly him being power hungry. But I also like to think that he desperately clings to the idea that he's doing it for the greater good, because he's scared to fall fully into the pit that is lusting for power.

He does such shitty things and D'arce genuinely deserves better, but he's so interesting.

Fuck you *categorizes your moonscorches*

Earlier today i was chatting with my friends and it made me think a lot about the moonscorched forms of the termina cast and what they represent, the conversation itself was about Daan and Elise's relationship and how i personally don't think we can use Stitches as an accurate way to read her character due to moonscorch.

Because the moonscorch forms are at their core a distorted version of someone, however the way in which they're distorted tends to vary a lot between characters to the point that in order to understand what way that is you need to know who they were as humans, which is something we can't do with Elise since she's a background character who we never interact or see when she was alive.

This made me want to look into and try to categories the termina participants moonscorch forms in the way i think the distortion potrays them as, which it's not accurate to them as people in most cases.

-Daan: "This isn't who i am"

There's nothing about Pocketcat that resembles Daan aside from his physical appearance and a couple odd lines (of which i feel like may happen because he is a fresh new body for Pocketcat? So he still has a few of Daan's memories and mannerisms but those will likely fade away the longer he stays in that body) because he's just a creature who took over his body, Pocketcat is not Daan and Daan is not Pocketcat. I personally don't even count this as a moonscorch form, but sources tend to group him with the others, so i might as well add him in this list.

-Abella and Marcoh: "This isn't who i am, but what the world percieves me as"

To look at the Chaugnar and conclude that Abella is a rude and violent person is just straight up wrong. Abella as a person is kind, sweet and caring, but not only is her profession something uncommon for women to have in that time period but she actively works for an organization that values her skills and not her as a person.

It's easy to percive her as something she isn't judging solely by appearance and/or an abridged description of her character. This is what the Chaugnar is, it's Abella being potrayed as the mindless brute she doesn't want to be seen as.

The same thing happens with Marcoh, his background, his connection to mobsters, his reputation as a street boxer, all of those things can paint the image of Marcoh as a dangerous and violent man when in reality he is genuinely a good person at heart.

-Levi, Marina and Olivia: "This isn't who i want to be"

These the most upsetting form of moonscorch in my opinion because the distress and agony the characters are going through it's incredibly apparent.

Levi despises wars, they took so much away from him and gave nothing but trauma and addiction in return. He hates being associate with them which is why Weeping scope cries as he relentlessly scratches the gun on his head, it's Levi desperately trying separate himself from wars and violence, unfortunately to no avail.

Following her father's footsteps is not something Marina wants nor does she feel like she has to, the idea that her life has been decided from the moment she was born by someone else is something she hates. Marina's moonscorch is her being forced into this role and being controled by another person, a parasite that has logged itself onto her body and now gives her orders on everything she has to do.

This last one may be a little more of a stretch, i don't know Olivia as well as i know the other two, but her moonscorch being a giant machine that continuously poisons you through the fight makes me think about how much Olivia hates feeling like she's a bother to others and that a group would do better without her to "slow them down". There's also the fact that she's a botanist and machines are pretty much the polar opposite of the nature she cares so much about.

-Tanaka and Henryk: "This is who i need to be"

Judgement is pretty much the embodiment of Tanaka's feelings about how as the head of his family and their main source of income he needs to keeping going regardless of his mental of physical state, it doesn't matter if he's hurt or exhausted he needs to continue working, he has to, the grind never stops! Because this is what he thinks will make him the perfect eldest son.

Now this other one is heavily tied with my personal interpretation of Henryk's character; which is a man who, coming from a career that's usually not seen as very "manly", wants to fit in and conform with society's expectations of how a man is supposed to be because he hates the feeling of rejection.

That's why the Gentleman is, well, a gentleman. It's the kind of person Henryk feels like he needs to be. He's big, strong and moreover he's a leader, the mayor or Prehevil, it makes me think a lot about how men are expected to grow into strong leading figures just for the sake of being a guy.

-Samarie and O'saa: "This is who i should be"

Truth be told O'saa is one of the characters in this game i know the least about, so i had to get some help from my friend Marco on this and at the end of the day we thought this category was the best to describe his moonscorch. O'saa doesn't live by anyone else's rules, be it the government, the gods, he doesn't even follow the rules of the yellow mages, the Mastermind may be a manifestation of his ego as in if he isn't following them then he surely must be above all of these forces? Hard to say.

Now Samarie is a weird one, i don't really know where to start? So i think I'll do it by the name lf her moonscorch form, Dysmorphia, which is when someone obsseses over one or more aspects of their body that they consider a flaw. From her lines i get the feeling that Samarie really doesn't like herself that much and reading her mind mostly shows her calling herself a fool or a fucking idiot, so it's plausible that this dislike towards herself also applies to physical appearance and not just her as a person.

My friend once pointed out that Dysmorphia looks like the opposite of Samarie and while he said it in a joke manner i do feel like there's some logic behind it; Samarie has long hair but Dysmorphia has none, Samarie is skinny and bony while Dysmorphia is big and round, Samarie is always with a tired and kinda sad expression while Dysmorphoria apears to be smiling. It could be that Samarie hates herself so much that she sees this monstrosity that's the opposite of her as "perfect form" of sorts? She does say that she's radiating as Dysmorphia, i guess it's food for thought.

Because really this entire section is mostly me theorizing/speculating because these two were the hardest characters for me to categorize on this.

-Karin and Caligura: "This is who i trully am"

This is one of the most interesting moonscorch categories because they're the only ones that accurately potray who these characters are despite being distortions of their human selves.

Karin is the Valkyrie, she genuinely believes she's doing a good thing with her work, that she's is imortalizing these fallen soldiers and giving them the recognition they deserve. At the same time she knows those who criticize her work have a point, she makes a living out talking about these tragedies like a vulture that feeds of a corpse on the side of the road, yet she sticks to her beliefs that what she does is good at the end of the day.

Meanwhile Caligura is undeniably a vile disgusting man, he is a monster inside and out. So seing him as a giant scrotum that stays submerged in gross sewer water does a good job at summarizing who he is as a person.

Twisted wonderland fear and hunger AU

Idia shroud

non-fire hair Idia has long wavy/curly hair

Moonscorched Idia

Vengeance

Idia’s design and moonscorching main inspirations were Olivia and Daan. Specifically their moon-scorched forms. similarly to Daan Idia becomes possessed by another entity.

 Referencing book 6 of twst when the soul of the deceased ortho whispers and possesses (robot) ortho who then convinces Idia to voluntarily overblot, In this scenario, idia is haunted by the tortured soul of his younger brother.

 Under the influence of Rher, a corrupted piece of Ortho's soul traps idia within his own grief and anguish burning away his flesh and becoming a skeletonized hollow of himself. A corrupted ortho puppeteers Idia’s mechanical skeleton body and attacks the player in a dazed rage

Idia’s story was heavily influenced by Olivia's story and her connection to mechanics. Idia’s techy nature also allows himself to be placed into this mechanical category. 

Before his brother's death, his family were engineers working on building a device that would allow humanity to transcend the human form. This device was ordered to be made by governing forces to create super soldiers that could forever fight. Or at least that is what Idia was told.

One day Ortho happened to get trapped within the device as Idia was working on it. The device that was supposed to have been turned off had suddenly turned on. Shortly after the accident, the machine and consequently ortho’s body vanished. 

Idias main motivation is his search for answers about the true reason for the machine and who how and why the mechanism activated. His search for answers ends when he finds the machine god. Following in the footsteps of Olivia in searching for her twin, idias story follows a similar path. 

Vengeance seeks to destroy all those who try and stop idias quest for revenge against whatever he perceives to have killed his brother.  To be encountered on the third day in the museum. vengeance will spawn if the player fails to convince idia to continue searching for answers in the face of unending ruin. 

Mirroring the heroes that he and his brother admired, vengeance stands heroically and shows no mercy to those who stand in its way. Carrying Ortho's burning soul over his heart vengeance blindly follows the will of Rher and their unknowable goals. 

In this au ortho takes the role of Reila.

[psystirene]

funger sims i made.... (enki, d'arce and le'garde) I made the girl too but these guys just live in the background of my legacy challenge and she aged up and chose the most atrocious clothes ever (enki & d'arce also live with cahara, celeste and ragnvaldr but I mostly just got those guys off the gallery /w some minor edits. le'garde lives in another household for space reasons)

Also I made CC to add swatches to the base game + dlc eyelashes so they come in like, every hair color bc i Love colored eyelashes and I'm SO MAD they only gave us black and dark brown like wtf

I'm gonna put Celeste under read more bc i Did Not make her but I want to show off the white eyelashes bc I think they are gongeous <3

muah... also cahara and her had their daughter and they named her London which is crazy. also enki and d'arce autonomously started dating which is kind of sick...

also London got the exact same bowlcut as d'arce which is perplexing but maybe cahara & celeste let her cut their kid's hair idk.

Okay putting this thought out there:

Pocketcat in Funger Termina, yeah?

So. He says Rher put him there to make sure the game's going smoothly, without direct interference. He sells you good items for heads of the other contestants for a motive.

However.

If you kill Daan, he won't appear at the museum.

1. He doesn't love me. :( lies.

2. He is only interested in Daan and nothing else about this Termina Festival

3. Adding on to the second point, even if he got orders from Rher to make sure you have an incentive to kill, he's only giving that offer once, after he realises you killed the medic boy he was haunting.

Also there's the whole. Like is Per'kele for real when he means Rher never intended for this festival to happen, and like he only used the Moon for his own Sulfur cult stuff. Cause if Rher never knew of this festival, only realising it's happening in ending B when the traces of him peeks at you for a moment before fading back in disinterest. How. Did Pocketcat get orders???

[neo0vision]

hmmm i have discovered fear and hunger i regret nothing

[carcasscounty]

Oh my God why is he like this

[onefey]

ik i've made jokes about dunmeshi + fear and hunger before but i just wanna say. both do feature a guy looking for his sibling (who happens to have turned into a monster.)

[moonfungers]

this is sort of random as hell but i can't help but think of like. a funger termina isekai fic. 💀 no but like. FEAR AND HUNGER IS THE WORST universe to be inside, really. it's all misery!!! pain!! suffering!! and i'm just picturing this like, regular person gets transported into the universe and just absolutely loses her shit bc she KNOWS, she KNOWS DAMN WELL exactly how she's screwed, far better than anyone else!! she's played the games dozens and dozens of times, died so many times, and now she's IN that setting, she's in that world, and death is now PERMANENT with REAL stakes. she knows the entire game like the back of her hand, but what does it matter, bc it's fear and hunger. there's only so much knowledge that can help you . .

in my head, in a lot of isekai fic and stuff, ocs tend to like, hide the fact that they know things? but i feel like a modern-day oc who gets transported into fear and hunger would be forced into a position where she has to be honest bc its the best chance of survival. this isn't a game where she can just follow the right steps, recruit the people, get them to do the things, this is now real and dangerous and terrifying, and she knows that she can't do it alone.

and i'm just picturing like. d1, she wakes up before everyone else, loses her shit, and then promptly refuses to let ANYONE leave the train. no no but like, also can you picture what im seeing, this woman just pacing back and forth frantically, very clearly losing it, and she's like "you fuckers are not going ANYWHERE, we are all traveling TOGETHER, bc you all do not understand how much danger we're in" and then the others are like, you know, the train just stopped, weird dream, they haven't even been to prehevil yet so they don't know how fucked up everything is over there, and now this random stranger is just losing her shit, they don't take her seriously bc honestly who would, and so she just. she just starts fucking putting them on blast

"o'saa i know you went into the dungeons and nasrah's with you" "pav you will SIT your motherfucking ass down, you do not stand a chance against the fucking kaiser and it isn't even the REAL one you fucking idiot"

"levi i know youre going thru like. withdrawal right now and its totally ok and we have a doctor here and i will get you some heroin if i need to but like please dont run off where i cant find you"

and just basically knows stuff she absolutely shouldn't know, and she's like "YOU GUYS GOTTA BELIEVE ME BC OTHERWISE WE WILL LITERALLY ALL DIE, DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND. there is only ONE way to guarantee us to live and im telling you this bc i know how screwed we are and i cant do it alone ive never even held a fucking weapon in my entire LIFE i just play video games at home-" and also how fucked up is it, that this isekai oc would know damn well that no matter what, someone has to die? like. you either kill everyone else and like get sulfurized/escape, you get moonscorched bc you run out of time, or someone has to become one with logic. aka to get the best "everyone lives" run, someone still needs to die

idk my brain just had this pop into my brain and won't let it go. it'd like, a cliche trope ofc, but i feel like in the context of fear and hunger, it'd be just so horrifying and awful and so WONDERFUL to read

bc its like, fear and hunger is a game series that we know damn well is a horrible like, UNIVERSE to be in, its depressing and awful for the characters who live in it, but can you imagine the ripe ANGST of having an isekai oc from our world go into it? they have our world as a reference point, in the way none of the other characters do, bc this is their world, they don't know anything else, how could they? but this isekai oc would just be so fucking-- innocent in the way the others aren't, bc she hasn't lived through the horrible F&H world and like, the dynamic there is so so interesting too bc all of the characters in termina, all of them on that train are AWARE or have been involved/done bad things, and this here is a character who hasn't, who hasn't seen blood or misery for her entire fucking LIFE. she'd be an "everyman" character by our standards, you know, but by their standards? she'd be such a fucking anomaly with the shit she says, the things she believes in. and also, you know, the fact she knows things about all of them and the situation they're in she has absolutely no right to know and its so SO interesting to think about, actually?? like genuinely losing my mind thinking about this rn
