transmasc genlossboo where he just one day finds out the showfall scars on his chest are top surgery scars and remembers he's trans

[ace-in-your-hand]

If you look at the box that Ranboo dies to, it's already incredibly rusty and bloody with dried blood on the spikes and rust all over it. People have already died in that thing, but who? Did Showfall perhaps have another hero before Ranboo or was this just another piece of a death game?

Or it could just be design choice to add to the horror, most likely.

GL! RANBOO HEADCANON

Cool, so we all know how his mask is like- the way they implant the memories into him right? It’s also made up of wires and stuff, most likely directly connecting to the brain.

They basically can effect his consciousness, and how he perceives stuff (aka the slime turning into blood for a split second)

So the head canon I have is that GL! Ranboo has tics, since a lot of the time tics are cause by a neurological thing. And with all the wires, those could affect him in many ways.

Yes, the foundation and stuff would probably be careful to like- make sure it all works, but don’t forget, for a good while of it, he slowly gained his own memories and consciousness and stuff, only when he was about to be killed, as Ranboo said before, were memories being implanted back in.

But, the people behind all this shit probably aren’t the greatest as well, and could’ve had that accidental side effect. Mostly it would be things like small jolts making him move, though words could be affected, not as much as moving stuff though.

Anyways little headcanon haha

[v4mpyinred]

would it be a stretch to say Akihiko & Yukari are lowkey BPD-coded? cuz this realization is driving me insane

[shepcdr]

in terms of shepard and sex throughout the course of the trilogy... shep's extremely easy to have a one night stand with pre-me1;

far too busy thinking about/pursuing saren during the events of me1 — though Perhaps he fucks around with the consort... perhaps — and generally does Not romance someone during me1 (subject to heavy plotting);

in me2, jumps back to "easy to sleep with/have a one night stand with" perhaps even more so than pre-mass effect 1 (haha dont worryyyyy its not in any way connected to bodily expression/autonomy/reclamation of self after project lazarus even though he'll deny having any worries about it and brush over the topic if you ask him);

and despite being a ho... he is, i think, almost completely inaccessible sexually in me3 except in cases of shore leave/ship maintenance where he's pressured to "do nothing/unwind." might go out and search out one night stands (if he didn't romance anyone) to take his mind off of things but it's unhealthy and extremely dissociative. as he is with anything that isn't actively contributing towards the war against the reapers

in most cases, he — not always, but generally — has sex with someone (usually on the regular, veers towards friends with benefits) and then has a slow burn to romance and feelings... even if he already undoubtedly has feelings for someone; processing those feelings beyond "it feels nice to be around this person" takes a while!!

Weirdo freaks. These were mainly to get design ideas down so they’re kinda bad but rfjrhfjg who cares. Zero and the founder need a few tweaks (Founder especially)

Anyway headcanons under cut

I like to give Showfall employees/ actors wings both for visual appeal and cause I think it’s a good way to show the Founders influence (and cause i like them and I’m very biased.)

The Founder to me is not entirely human, maybe he was once but definitely not anymore. The bodies he uses were old workers he pilots around. Being a nonhuman entity I believe he has a sort of field to him that can cause psychical and mental changes in a person the more you’re around him. Thus the wings.

The wings are not physically there and nobody not affect by Showfall’s visual manipulation can see them. The only way to see them is via the visual manipulation (what makes blood appear green and so on.) Even then most actors can’t see it as it freaks them out. However if the actors have been there a while they can sorta feel them.

Wings are pretty much an indicator on who the Founder’s favorites are. It can also be the audiences favorites that get them too. Zero is a special case but I’ll get into that later.

Hetch and Ranboo both have them, Hetch being given them by the Founder and Ranboo by the audience which is why theirs are more transparent. (There was a Hetch drawing but I didn’t like it.) Some actors and employees get feathers but not much else.

Wings are also a good way to see if someone is going to die as the Founder tends to kill his favorites a lot. Oopsies.

The Founders weird as his entire face is covered. His face is also very hard to be perceived by anyone not under Showfall’s effects. You can look him in the face but can’t tell what his eyes are supposed to be. However the weird field around him causes whatever you think he looks like to become your reality. (If you say his eyes are brown you see them as brown) This is helpful cause having multiple eye witnesses describe him differently can ruin investigations.

Zero has two sets cause I like her. Her appearance is also hidden by Showfall. Similar to how the Founder works but with her whole body. However she’s more concrete and everyone thinks she looks pretty much the same. However there are some inaccuracies that can be chocked up to misremembering.

If you happen to fall out of favor with the Founder or the audience he can remove them. Or rip them off which is the option he goes for. (He’s the only one who can do this for some reason) Some employees have torn wings because of this.

Hetch keeps his wings open. He’s boasting that he’s in the Founders Favor. Ranboo only really gets them during the box scene and keeps his covering his face to keep the audience from staring at him (also the lights during the box scene are bright.) Zero keeps hers close to her head cause they freak her out.

I think Jay also has wings but that’s cause they’re a weird freak who knows too much /aff. The Red One is a full on bird.

TLDR- Wings mean the Founder likes you.

good morning. today i present to you cranloss. tomorrow? who knows. (it definitely will also be them)

[doodleduck]

Just had a wild thought. What if the finale box was alive just like the wire monster. All of the electronics in the company are living. It’s one big hive mind. Once they have a corpse they can attach themself too they can come alive essentially. The box using Ranboo’s corpse to now prowl for the hives next victim

There's a chessboard in his dreams.

It doesn't show up often, but Ezran's dreams—or nightmares, he supposes, in this case—have always been reoccurring and strange. They're just more vivid and more violent, now that Aaravos is out. (Everything is worse now that Aaravos is out, now that Runaan is out, but Ezran doesn't blame his brother for either of them. He's not angry. Really.)

The chessboard isn't the one he grew up playing, coaxing his brother and dad and Claudia into games, the pieces painstakingly hand etched and with only the white ones painted. These ones are glossy, almost like glass, each piece having a perfect mirrored reflection of each other, like light and shadow.

And they're not knights or rooks either—but they are pawns.

The inside of the prison reflects the chess board, too, the glossy inside of a pearl even though it'd been smashed to pieces. It's what convinces him that this isn't real, that it's just a dream. (It can't be real. He won't let it be real.)

"Ah, King Ezran," Aaravos greets, seated in one chair behind the white set pieces. White always moves first—which makes sense. This game started centuries before Ezran was born. "How nice of you to join me."

Not that any of them have much of a choice, but Ezran takes a seat and grits his teeth. His crown always feels heavier here, even before he sees the way Aaravos picks up his pint-sized Callum and twirls him between his fingers.

"Are you and your dear brother fighting again?"

Yes, but—"Put him down," Ez growls out.

Aaravos raises a brow, but sets the game piece down on one of the white squares, next to a matching Rayla piece. "Not in the mood for games today, are you?" The Startouch elf steeples his fingers together, and nudges one of his frontline pieces forward across the board.

Then it's Ezran's turn, and he knows there's no point in delaying the inevitable, as he picks which piece to move forward.

The chessboard itself Ezran of the war maps he's been looking at lately, moving troops and people—sending his brother and their best friend off to dangerous locations, because they don't have a choice if they want to stop Aaravos and his corrupted Sun army. Ezran, as king, having to treat those he loves most like pawns.

"Your brother wouldn't sacrifice you for anything," Aaravos croons, once they're halfway through. Ezran's temple pounds, his figure of Aunt Amaya having already felled. His piece of Prince Karim is backed into a corner with nowhere to go; Aaravos has lost only small figures on his end—Opeli, Corvus, Barius—pieces he was never that interested in controlling in the first place. "How sad you can't say the same."

"Shut up!" Ezran snaps, because how dare anyone insinuate he doesn't love his brother? Because he does—no matter what, Ezran loves his brother—but he just doesn't love the way Callum does. His brother never does anything halfway; not magic or his fiery temper or his fiercely protective nature. He loves like an explosion, a super nova, a tidal wave.

Ezran has never loved like that. It's not in his nature. It's what makes him a good (miserable) king.

Ezran slams a piece down, not really looking, but knows in an instant he's made a mistake, because Aaravos grins, wide and sharp, like a cat about to eat a canary.

"Hm, not your best, little king," he says, and bumps a glossy monster-pawn up to where Callum lies. "Checkmate."

Ezran wakes up, clammy and hoarse, his throat tight and heart racing. Bait grunts from somewhere near his hip, the glow toad still asleep, and Ezran is careful not to touch him lest he wake him, and stares at the ceiling of his war tent instead.

He exhales, slowly, and gets out of bed to wash his face.

Tomorrow, he will be thirteen years old. He will give speeches at the crack of dawn and command troops and he and his brother, who's acting as one of his generals, will try and muddle through a conversation without arguing.

Ezran scrubs at his eyes and can't quite fight back the tears. But for tonight, in the privacy of the dark, he can be a little boy who's tired of losing.

He's so tired of losing.

Slimecicle from Generation Loss is a traumagenic median system!

[hall0wedwyrm]

theories for Generation Loss The Founders Cut!!

Starting with the diagrams for the Mask, Glasses and Hat in connection to FC and some of the new info we got :)))))

a few spoilers for FC changes!! especially for the last episode... so many important changes made damn

First, its pretty clear now that the Mall segments of episode 3 were staged by Hetch and/or Showfall. Between him saying that he was given control by the Founder and him manipulating lots of the elements of the show, this is definitely something purposeful.

The Mask is the thing that i feel confident in having an understanding in. Ranboo is never let free of control, and is always kept under it, but with various levels.

Red Light's on means complete control. Being able to do anything Hetch wants him to do and being 'in character'

Flashing means having some level of autonomy, but still in character (example: when they're at the tv asking what to do theyre not screaming and begging to escape, theyre trying to survive the cabin, not realising its not real)

No lights means complete autonomy, but the events of the story is very real to them. they can make decisions and react like its real but are still playing a role in the story. (In Episode 3, the lights are gone until the very end)

The Flashing in the finale shows that Ranboo is still in character but can also see the reality of the situation. Life or Death.

these three levels can be applied to the other characters as well. The carousel gang (Vinny, Niki, Ethan and Austin) were the third level of control. The situation was very real to them, and pleading with the audience to free them was for their real freedom.

Sneeg is different though. I believe he was under complete control the whole time, just like Ranboo was. They maintained character, when Ethan died and Austin was screaming. This is made so much more clear when Austin was yelling "Do you guys even care?!" and Sneeg says something like "Damn thats a lot of blood."

The Hat is different to The Glasses and The Mask. While Ranboo and Charlie have implants in their brains, The Hat is just some kind of interceptor for brainwaves. Sneeg doesn't have the implants the Hat does. I think different hats have different roles programmed into them? like the white hat is his Cabin character and the black mesh hat is for the Warehouse. When the two situations crossed (wearing the Cabin hat in the Warehouse), it messed up whatever brainwashing Sneeg had for the Warehouse and made him confused as to why he wasn't in the Cabin anymore. When he ran off, he could have potentially encountered something he wasn't supposed to see (prompting him to say "What kind of a place is this!?" but it could also be bcs its a Warehouse and he doesn't understand that in the moment)

OR Sneeg is a newer member of the cast. They didn't have the time to plant the electronics into his head, but Charlie and Ranboo have been there so much longer and have been more efficiently integrated into the system. Sneegs hats are temporary, and in the future (or if he rebels sooner) he'll get implants too.

Hiya I wanted to post this yesterday but my hyperfixation on fireworks got the best of me

ANYWAY have escape!au designs

[subaerial-dweller]

This is the final one of the night, I've decided it. Part four. OK! Here are my thoughts about Generation Loss characters, more specifically:

PART FOUR: CHARLIE SLIMECICLE

Charlie's a really cool character to think about, because he pops up in every single episode as a different character. Most of my other rants tonight have been theories, but this is more of a headcanon about how I believe Charlie came to be in Genloss and Showfall Media, but I'll be backing it up with evidence and things so don't worry about it.

Let's get cracking!

So the common belief, from what I've seen on Tumblr, is that we all seem to think that GL!Charlie grew up in that cabin from Episode 1, because it all looks very childish. Especially the bedroom. We've got a kid bed, a photo of Slimecicle as a child, the ducky thing on the desk, a small chair, a tennis racket, the whole thing. Anyway, so if Slimecicle was raised like that, damn. He lived his whole life to be that part, the Slime Demon. That's rough, Showfall Media. Even for you. Raising a kid for that?

My thought is, and this is where the heavy headcannoning comes in, so there will be little to no evidence from this point forward.

Have you ever read The Maze Runner? Spoilers up ahead if you haven't, so... yeah. In the prequel book, The Fever Code, the main bad guys (the morality surrounding them is complicated), WICKED, houses all these kids in a top secret facility to try to figure out a cure to the almighty plague thingy. These kids are all immune, except for some (*sobs*), and they're all special. And they form their own little bonds and it's all nice and sweet except for the unimaginable horror zombies and child experimentation.

ANYWAY.

That's what I'm imagining for Genloss. All these kids are in one facility, and they're being raised to be performers. I think GL!Charlie's one of these kids who lives in the dorms. But early on, I believe he was seen as a talented actor, so he was taken to live in his own little room, the cabin, so he could form an attachment to it. That's his main role, I believe, although he circles around in Episode 2 and 3 because Showfall thinks it's funny to see him there, but he's always the Slime Demon in Episode 1. And they raised him just for that, so that's why he has so many personal effects in his cabin, like the photo and the sports equipment. He even has his own portrait.

Anyway, I'm imagining him to still interact with the other kids, at lunchtime and break and stuff, when they're not working. I'd like to think that's how he meets other Main Cast, like Ranboo and Sneeg, as well as others like Niki, Austin, Frank (when he was still alive), Ethan, and Vinesauce. So he knows them as he's going into the show, but once they put him under, he forgets them and has no moral qualms about what he's doing.

Continuing with the Maze-Runner-ish thing (this isn't an AU I swear), I think he might've been given away by his parents at some point. Because has the photo, it could very well be a headshot, like actors put on their CV, or it could be a school photo from when he was actually outside. I saw exactly One Video about the book It Was Just Another Day In America by Ryan David Ginsberg (I'm going to read it when I have it), and the idea of selling your kids because you have no other choice is painful and dystopian and exactly what I think would happen in this Generation Loss world. The outside world, the audience (not us), is failing and collapsing but everybody is buying buying buying and everything is getting very very expensive so some people, if they want their kid to live, if they want to live themselves, well, there's no other choice. Showfall Media conveniently swoops in with an offer and pressures them til they can't say no, and takes their kid for a hefty sum and hopes the parents won't recognise them when they end up dying on live TV.

Does this happen for GL!Ranboo? I don't know. I like this idea of him meeting GL!Charlie and the others in the Showfall dorms, but I also like the idea of them just going missing one day, picked up off the streets and flung into this whole mess. I don't know if that was confirmed by the pre-release short videos they put out, I can't tell anything from those other than a sense of "oh fuck", but yeah. For Charlie, I like this headcanon.

Maze Runner style.

If I were to substitute characters out (I'm doing this for fun now, it isn't relevant to the headcanon), I'd do it like this:

Charlie Slimecicle - Thomas. He's kept apart from them, but he still sees them. He's an outsider and he's particularly special.

Sneegsnag - Alby. He's the leader of them, he's dry and bored. He's not as serious as Alby, but he seems the most confident, so he's the leader.

Ranboo - Newt? I think so. He seems pretty timid when I think of him, but they're rather chill and definitely aren't a pushover when it comes to interacting with the other characters. I think Newt works because they also would be the one to help out Charlie (Thomas) when he first comes down.

Frank could be anyone, really. I have no idea of his character. Minho is a very core character, obviously, and Frank could definitely fit that. Happy, upbeat, childish, a strong bond with Sneeg which would carry on even after he stops talking (whether from psychological damage or actual death, I dunno).

That's it for the night, folks! I'll be posting more of these. If you're sick of me, I'm sorry, it's just my random thoughts at this point.
