THE TERROR (2018) S01E07 "Horrible From Supper"

They also told us lemon juice would ward off the scurvy. I heard, when it gets bad, your gums pull back. Scars dissolve and open back up.

Dawntrail has been putting a lot effort into upskirting and focusing on Ieeha's legs in almost every single cutscene and to say that that has been distracting is an understatement—

🌸💐 - For Vee & Delilah!

MUSES & MOTHERS

💐 - for my muse’s mother to talk about their child.

"M-005—that is, Vee Version 1—is a failure."

It's stated bluntly (not unlike Vee herself has been known to do), but not coldly. Not warmly, either, but simply neutrally. Factual.

That's all she was doing, after all. Stating facts.

"I failed to create her in accordance with the design documents laid out for her. And her existence reminds me of that daily."

Not to mention all the problems that had arisen from the decision not to scrap her. The training required to properly fulfill her role as an entertainer when the upbeat behaviour should have been instinctual; her lack of interest in engaging with her peers during episode recordings resulting in her failing to seem like a real character in the cartoon, much less a Main one; needing to create an entirely new, unplanned Toon to accommodate her flaws...

"...But I do not hate her."

The creation is not at fault for the shortcomings of the creator. Failure, imperfection... It left a bitter taste in her mouth, but it was hers to bear. And she did what she could to salvage the situation.

She quite liked Vee, actually. Their similarities, while unwanted traits for the Toon, ultimately made it easy to be around her. An enjoyable presence, more so than most (not that she disliked any of the Toons, however). How had Arthur described her when she first introduced them? 'Taking after her mother'..? ...Ha.

On that note, Arthur seemed fond of her too. Happy with the way she turned out, despite her failure to live up to his original vision. And that was most important, above all else.

"There are no plans to attempt the creation of Vee Version 2."

🌸 - for my muse to talk about their mother.

"𝙳𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚕𝚊𝚑 𝚍𝚒𝚍𝚗'𝚝 𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚝 𝚖𝚞𝚌𝚑 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚊𝚗𝚢 𝚘𝚏 𝚞𝚜 𝚃𝚘𝚘𝚗𝚜, 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚢 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠𝚕𝚎𝚍𝚐𝚎." Not when compared to Arthur or any of the Handlers, anyway. She was constantly busy, it seemed, often hidden away in the laboratory that no one else could enter, unless she was dragged away from her work by her need to sate her crippling caffeine addiction or at the whims of her co-founder insisting that she take a break. Not that Vee was judging; she wasn't so unaware as to not recognize that she had been much the same back then.

"𝚂𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚜𝚗'𝚝 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚎𝚕𝚢 𝚊𝚋𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚝, 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑. 𝚆𝚎 𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚜𝚙𝚘𝚔𝚎 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎. 𝙸 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎𝚍 𝚋𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 𝚑𝚎𝚛, 𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢."

In the past, she had overheard many of the others—Toon and human alike—consider her... Unnerving? But for all the information she held in her databases, Vee could never quite comprehend that view herself. If anything, it had always felt like Delilah understood her better than nearly anyone else. She could just talk to her, and her creator wouldn't react weirdly to anything she said. Not like others often did, unless she was putting on her act.

"𝚂𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝚝𝚊𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚖𝚎 𝚑𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚘 𝚙𝚞𝚝 𝚘𝚗 𝚊 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚙𝚎𝚛 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚠. 𝙰𝚛𝚝𝚑𝚞𝚛 𝚝𝚘𝚘." That was in the early days following her creation, before the Gardenview Center had even opened its doors to the public. There had only been six Toons back then, with her as the latest addition.

Vee had always held an innate interest in trivia. However, she hadn't always been the engaging, captivating show host that she was today. Surprising, perhaps, given her skill and status now, but true! It took time and effort to carefully craft the perfect stage persona for herself that would allow her to become the grand star she was destined to be. And both of Gardenview's founders had worked tirelessly with her one-on-one to make sure it happened.

Delilah had been an incredibly strict instructor. Critical of the slightest error, the tiniest mistake. When practicing for her then-future game show, if Delilah found her energy even just the slightest bit lacking, or if she stumbled over even a single word, she would demand that Vee restart everything from the beginning. To do it all properly, from beginning to end. To do it multiple times, too, without failure.

Arthur, on the other hand, was far more kind and comforting in his teaching methods. He had always been very encouraging of her, praising her for her best efforts even when she slipped up or otherwise had clear improvements to make in her performance.

"𝙱𝚞𝚝 𝙳𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚕𝚊𝚑 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚙𝚎𝚍 𝚖𝚎 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝚖𝚢 𝚊𝚌𝚝." Kind words were nice to hear, but they didn't fix errors. It was Delilah's harsh criticisms that actually identified where and how she needed to improve.

They've all been gone for a while now, though. With no indication of anyone ever coming back, and so little explanation as to why.

"...𝙽𝚘 𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚊 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚜𝚑𝚎'𝚜 𝚍𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚗𝚘𝚠."

Veronica was still the human Vee wanted to see again most of all, but... She missed her mother, too.

How could someone hold such little value over the loss of life? How could anyone feel such disdain and anger towards a breaking a story affecting their area? It’s a news station’s prime duty. It’s required for the public to be informed about such a tragedy, to mourn and feel for the victims affected, and to provide up-to-date information on any current investigations into the matter.

It’s to prevent these tragedies from further happening, and to keep the public safe.

Yet the vile display of immense irritation, cutting into a well-known program televised across the nation, was enough to madden Jayden. The disrespect, the lack of compassion, the ignorance; how could on-air talent speak like that in front of their audience?

There wasn’t anything she could, or say, in the matter. What happened came and went. She sat at her desk in eerie silence, lamenting both the poor family now gone from this world, and the lack of conviction to stand up against this discrimination.

hes so sad because hes the embodiment of all the negative stuff! but ethan did. nothing with him! wtf! and the character design is so aggfhdf i really like the idea of a gaunt bonewhite figure with eyes leaking oil and a face perpetually stuck in a sob

and unus 😔 the physical embodiment of DEATH?? he was only alive for one year but he was my blorbo the whole way through

and those are the only ones people really talk about?! i mean some people yeah but i feel like most don’t acknowledge mrs thomson or mad mike or bernice or (idk her name) his yandere ego or father ethan any of the rest of them! its so :((((

Fully support your desire to cut down on the extras as they're already so long, but as someone who was also looking forward to the sickfic section and is sad to hear it's been taken out, I will simply have to ask you about it instead! First off the discussion of home in the snippet you shared was delicious - when do you think Mav started thinking of the house as 'their' home? And Ice taking Mav to the hospital has a lot of crunch there around how they're seen and how they act in public, especially if Ice was worried and Mav was kind of out of it. Do you think Ice would have taken Mav in to the hospital if he'd really been spiking a fever and decided he needed it? How would he explain themselves? And I suppose a separate, related question: who are their official next of kin/emergency contacts?

the reason i got rid of the sickfic is cause all those questions were answered better elsewhere in the extras ❤️

i was kind of annoyed that the house inconsistently appears to be the property of whomever the plot calls for at the moment -> another reason to cut the sickfic

Yes Ice would take mav to the hospital. it happens elsewhere LOL, maverick is extremely incident-prone

obviously a fun surfing injury with friends != the sickfic’s ice taking “a friend” to the hospital in the middle of the night for dangerous levels of illness-related dehydration… implies familiarity, intimacy above everyone else… the hospital staff would probably assume they’re together, yes, & i don’t think ice would challenge that at all, especially if he had to make sure all the paperwork was filled out right. just not worth the effort. “is there anyone else we should call for mr mitchell?” / “Um no. Just me.” Yeah i took him to the hospital at 4am bc i love him and im worried about him what r u gonna do about it 🤨 violate his hipaa rights? It’s 2009 gay people exist grow up🙄 hospital staff isn’t gonna tell anyone, so who cares

(Luckily for ice in the sickfic he didn’t have to take mav to the hospital)

the point of the sickfic was to establish a precedent for one of them voluntarily taking care of the other who is unable to take care of himself, to set up the parallel of maverick taking care of Ice when he Really gets capital-s Sick. but then i still can’t bring myself to write ice actually being capital-s Sick because i have some weird neurosis where i simply dislike thinking about ice (powerful guy) being helpless or incapacitated or, um, dead. so the mav-sickfic isn’t really relevant anymore because i haven’t written (and never plan on writing, besides that one half-assed one-shot) the corollary ice-sickfic. so the sickfic became the Nixed-fic ❌

And according to this wip wednesday snippet, they are each other’s emergency contacts. don’t ask me how that works or how they figured that out, idk. some stuff you do have to talk about for logistics purposes i guess. which is kind of the point of all the house-related/money-related discussions I’ve written throughout my fics—they Have to talk about the logistics because that’s real life. But they don’t INTERPRET those logistics or assign them a normative value.

for instance debriefing presents (maverick’s) death & taxes as the only two things that ever get them to actually talk to each other lol. logistics become a vessel through which they can talk about their situation without actually talking about it. The state of being each others emergency contacts might be a death-and-taxes discussion—acknowledging permanence without acknowledging permanence

There is a doll lying on the floor. Had she been forgotten by some child?

It did not seem like anyone was coming back to look for her, though.

i am once again thinking about the missed opportunities of a garth and jackson mentor/mentee brother in arms relationship

[autumnrory]

woooo my niece took 5 of my 13 lego sets, one of which was one of the three larger ones, so that's one huge box out of the way and i'm just glad she wanted them because like they ARE twenty years old and they look fine ofc but sometimes kids aren't gonna want stuff that isn't new and shiny ya know, but she did seem to want everything which would've been fine with me but i knew there was no way they would take all that with them, and at least i still have stuff of my own to sell, plus should get at least a cut of my brother's stuff for doing the inventory and putting together that stuff that wasn't already done
