#he can talk just fine

[getvalentined]

I don't always doodle my OCs—but when I do, it's usually* Whiravi.

He's the white rabbit in a story that's basically Alice in Wonderland in Space that I'd like to make into a visual novel someday. Gotta set up the whole thing in Twine first.

*When it's not Whiravi, it's Myn or Salmac. I can admit to having favorites.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Ghost, put back in the coffin years later and losing what sanity he has left.

He unburies himself for the second time ofc, but this time he comes out inherently wrong.

Soap will try to get him to talk to him, to quip and make puns and dad jokes like before "the incident" as they've taken to calling it, and only gets blank stares that don't quite meet his gaze or drift just too far to one side to not be focusing on something that's moving when nothing is behind Soap but a wall.

Price, who tries to get Simon to therapy and gets reports of him ghosting (ha) his team of mental health professionals. Who will get responses from Simon, things a good soldier would say, and then hear frantic muttering as Simon's attention runs away to the corner of the room.

Gaz, who's the first to be sent on a mission with him, Simon's first since the incident because he needs to be kept in rotation because he's only a tool, because Soap is already deployed elsewhere. Who sees as Simon absolutely LOSES IT at the sound of gunshots and tears people apart with a ferociousness he didn't think humans could attain, only to be met with frantic whispers and wide eyes and shaking hands once it's all done. Hearing apologies to a Joseph and Tommy and Beth because Simon somehow got it into his head that it's THEIR blood on his hands, as he tries to claw it off and needs to be sedated to be brought back to base.

The 141, who all get a retirement house together after a couple of last missions simply so they can help Simon recover. So they can protect him when he's at his worst and celebrate with him at his best. The 141 who give up their lives in the military not because they don't care about their country or job anymore, but because their friend and brother and lover needs help, he needs them, and he needs to be reminded he's alive.

Hear me out. I know it's unlikely that Ratio would ever have been foolish enough to directly get taken in by a scam, but considering that we know:

One of the groups specifically tricked by Kakavasha before he joined the IPC was the Intelligentsia Guild

What he tricked them about was Tayzzyronth's Swarm remnants, the exact same thing we see Ratio investigating in his very first appearance in the game, and

The researchers were described as "extremely cautious"

I am surprised that "Ratio was at least somehow connected to the Intelligentsia Guild team fooled by Kakavasha before he was ever even a Stoneheart" isn't more popular with the Ratio and Aventurine fandom.

Like imagine being Dr. Ratio. You tell your colleagues, "This seems like a scam. Are you sure you should trust this 'local guide' you've made contact with? Tell me about him. A picture? Does this even look like an Egyhazan native to you? I won't save you fools from making idiotic decisions." (You end up having to clean up the aftermath of their idiotic decisions anyway. There is sand in places on your body you didn't even know existed before this. How mortifying for the Guild. For you, by association.)

Then, next thing you know, you get a mission briefing slid across your desk from your IPC connections. They want you to work with their new Stoneheart. You open the packet to see... that little bastard with the enthralling eyes who had your moronic colleagues scrambling in the dirt on a backwater planet for months. Apparently he's made a career out of fooling you your supposedly competent guildmates.

You run off to confront him. You never met him personally back then, but you deserve compensation for the idiocy you were subjected to nonetheless. He deserves to know how much of a pain in the ass he's been in your life already without ever having met your eyes--

He proceeds to shove a gun into your hands and tries to make you an accomplice to a suicide. Apparently, this is normal behavior for the man now called Aventurine. Somehow, it's supposed to prove to you that he is a sane and reliable individual.

Absolutely nothing in your life has been normal since Egyhazo.

You would like to have mundane problems, sometimes.

How do you keep ending up in this beautiful manic clever conman's orbit, and why, like binary stars, can you not escape the gravitational pull?

The Babel Incident

Phantom doesn't make talk to anyone when he joins the Leauge. They may try to make small talk and learn more about their new teammate, even going as far to to invite him to the occasional gathering or socialize, but the newest member simply shows up when there is mandatory meetings, helps out on the field, and leaves as quickly as he arrived.

Keeping everyone at arms length, no matter how they much they try. They can clearly see he's lonely, but he insists they leave him be.

Clark doesn't miss (or like) the way Bruce tries to get more useful information on the newbie in roundabout like asking other Leauge members for anything. It wasn't until the usually straight faced Phantom got angry at Bruce to vanish to get away from their leader. It irked the Dark Knight to not have any useful information, even when Martian ManHunter told him no to reading his mind, but Bruce will keep trying to get something out of Phantom.

Little do they know that the reason why Phantom doesn't speak or socialize with anyone has to do with the fact that Batman uses mere conversations to formulate his contingency plans to put down his colleagues, something they don't know about yet. The Last Universe he visited had its Batman getting his plans stolen by a villian and had gotten the entirety of the Leauge killed.

At some point in time, it would be fun to see some of the tragic mxtx characters reincarnate together in the same world or some shit. And they just- so casually have conversations about their past lives like-

---

SJ: Well surely you must understand what it's like being branded as the worst scrounge of the entire cultivation world, and have everyone think you deserve eternal damnation and be torn apart limb from limb. And I literally did get branded. So did you! I hardly see any reason for you to be so enthusiastic about your predicament.

WWX: Yes, I know! It's not easy being so popular!

SJ: That's not-

WWX: Everyone loves me!

SJ: Didn't you hear what I said?? They wanted you dead!

WWX, winking: who doesn't~

WWX: Did you see how many cultivators showed up during the Siege of the Burial Mounds?? Just for me! And the Wens too. But mostly for me!

SJ: ...

SJ: I'm not really one to brag, but every cultivator in Jianghu did show up for my trial...

WWX: Don't be modest, we're all celebrities in here! There's no such thing as bad media rep!

SJ: What-

NMJ: I know what that's like. I mean- the whole being dismembered thing.

SJ: You don't get to talk! You got unacquainted with your extremities after you died! It's not the same!

WWX: Hey, at least you still had a corpse! I fucking didn't. Even my soul got torn apart in the Burial Mounds.

SJ: Tch. You still got lucky. I wish my soul didn't remain so I wouldn't be here now talking to the likes of you.

WWX: Speak for yourself. You're the one that died alone thinking no one loved you-

XL: That's quite enough. I'm sure SJ had ppl who cared for him, like his sisters from the brothel, and that brother of his that came to rescue him. He was a very sweet guy, reminds me of myself quite a bit actually.

WWX: OH yeahhh, because both of you-

SJ: Another word about Qi-ge, and I'll throw you into the Endless Abyss, which I'm confident you're not to survive.

WWX: Are kind! Coz the both of you are very kind people, definitely not because you both coz got stabbed by a gazillion sharp things!

SJ and HC:

XL and YQY:

---

And it's not even trauma dumping. Like they're describing things that happened in their past lives like checking off a grocery list. Also, I need them to have the worst kind of dark/morbid humour, that it's just bad. Ik WWX definitely would.
