I can see it now...

Now that Chris is gone and his relationships with Marisol and Kim are over, Eddie is struggling to keep himself together and decides to stop dating while also trying to figure himself out after everything that happened.

All the while, Buck constantly checks in on him to make sure he's alright and even goes as far as to stay over at his place so that he doesn't wake up by himself. And now that Gerrard is captain and is making their shifts miserable, that becomes a common occurrence. And around the same time, Buck and Tommy are going through a rough patch because of him cancelling plans to check on Eddie and how Tommy wants Buck to act around Gerrard, which ultimately leads to them breaking up.

Then down the line, Eddie and Buck start to become closer than ever and Eddie comes to the conclusion that his relationships never worked out because he was trying to make a family with the wrong person when the whole time, he already had a family with the right person, which was Buck. At the same time, Buck starts to catch feelings for Eddie but is afraid to act on them partly out of fear and mainly because he doesn't want to take advantage of him when he's still missing Chris.

But eventually, Eddie just goes "fuck it" and finally kisses Buck, who has no qualms about kissing him back...

...and then, Chris walks through the door.

*slams the door open, eyes manic* Sovereign State!

A Sovereign State: "International law defines sovereign states as having a permanent population, defined territory, a government not under another, and the capacity to interact with other sovereign states."

The USA already HAS several that exsist within its boarders? And there was that Gay Island of Australia (no really, look it up.) There is a LONG history of humanity going "well fuck you too then, I'm leaving. But also I refuse to leave. I am METAPHORICALLY leaving." *leaves your country and makes their own*

And??

Where's the FUCK were you? Mr. President? During that INVASION by Pariah Dark??

No, really. Social contracts, my dude. That is WHY you have AN ARMY. For INVADING FORCES.

You ALSO have declared us, your citizens, non-sentient and stripped of us our Constitutional Rights WITHOUT hearings, studies, or any due processes. Not to mention just desecrating the dead like it's NOT a well known religious and moral taboo. AND attacking out dead family members! The list goes on!

Why do we pay you taxes, if YOU are the active threat to us AND you offer us no social services?? You've all but cut Amity off anyway!

.......*Takes our ball and goes home* FUCK IT.

They are literally Limnals. It's a TOWN OF METAS. Can you honestly tell me that they WOULDN'T look at the Ecto-Acts and just think: "Yeeeeeah, how about No. Hard Pass."

You can have your INCREDIBLY stupid and offensive law. In OUR country, that's illegal. "We can't do that?" Yes. We can. We informed you in a Formal Document, which you received, you had the opportunity to STOP us, you did or could not, AND we got Regonized by another government.

It's a Ghost Goverment. We, the city state of Amity, were recognized by like... going on 23 at this point. We have a list. All Ghost Goverments, too. Sucks for you that you don't recognize those, they've decided not to recognize YOURS back until you do.

Politics, baby~

Aaaw D:> Does the Upset Baby wanna call, Superman? Boo Hoo. Somebody's forgetting the Justice League serves EARTH, not AMERICA. Suck on a lemon and die mad about it. Better not come back as a Ghost though! Your Goverment will declare you a lab specimen!

Now if you'll excuse us, WE have interplanetary trade routes. Because WE can use alien tech from our Ghost Buddies. And the Fenton Anti-Creep Barrier means you can't do SHIT. So *large crowd of teenagers making rude noises at frustrated government officials*

*Justice Leauge taking picture in the background* You're doing great sweeties! Aquaman is? So proud of the younger generation? They really are the future, you guys. Can he come in?

Oh of COURSE, your Majesty! *somehow ONLY Aquaman is able to get past the barrier, much to the impotent fury of the GIW and various officials*

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

(Can I take 👁️ anon? That way I can just preface with that emoji whenever I'm sending something here)

Anyway, for the Trein event: Ruggie trying to ask Lucius about the answers to an upcoming exam?

👁️ Anon is all yours!

A Storied Past.

Trein frowned upon sneaking, among many other things. “To sneak is to hunch over and creep around in unsavory locales. It’s simply distasteful,” he’d declare with a dismissive huff. “You are young gentlemen and esteemed students of Night Raven College, not riffraff. Your posture and behavior should reflect that.”

Well, Ruggie thought as he squatted low to the ground, it’s not a problem if you don’t get caught, right?

The hyena chanced a glance from behind the desk he hid behind, surveying the teacher’s lounge. The adults had vacated to take lunch in the cafeteria, granting him a 30 minute window of opportunity to do that which Trein so loathed: sneaking. Ruggie had already picked the lock to the door and rifled through the papers kept in the drawers—other actions Trein would find reprehensible—but to no avail. The man’s answer key was nowhere to be found.

He was so screwed on that next unit exam. I’d have the time to study for it if Leona-san weren’t runnin’ me ragged just before the test…!

Ruggie’s gaze fell on the black and white lump gathered in one corner. It stared back at him with unblinking, feline eyes. The fearsome beast that guarded the teacher’s lounge.

“Mrrrow.”

“If it isn’t my good ol’ buddy, Lucius-kun~” Ruggie broke out into a mischievous smile. This, he could work with.

He made no effort to conceal his presence or to provide an excuse—even caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Ruggie instead casually approached while lying on his belly, both hands balled into paws. His words were traded for meows that easily rolled off of his tongue.

(“How’s it goin’? Don’t mind me, I’m just sniffin’ around for a tasty morsel. You won’t squeal on me to ol’ Trein, wouldja?”)

Lucius yawned, either unsurprised or disinterested. (“Depends. What are you willing to do for me this time?”)

“Tch. Always gotta be a dealmaker, huh? You’d give Azul a real run for his money,” Ruggie grumbled to himself. Fixing his grimace into a grin, he shook a paw at the cat. (“I’ve got a nice can of fancy tuna with your name on it!”)

Lucius sniffed. (“Just the one?”)

(“What, you want more? I know you love the stuff, but if you have too much at once then Trein might start getting suspicious about how full you are.”) Ruggie made a face. (“I’ll give you one can of fancy tuna and a some catnip to chew on afterwards. How about it?”)

(“Two cans or nothing.”)

(“Two cans,”) Ruggie shot back, (“one now, second one a week from now. We don’t want to risk being caught.”)

Lucius inclined his head, considering. (“… Alright, I accept.”)

(“Sweet, thanks.”) A pause. (“By the way, you wouldn’t happen to know where Trein’s keeping the answer key for the next exam?”)

Lucius rose from his spot and scampered over to the bookshelf along one wall. Getting up on his hind legs, he tapped on the spine of a thick binder marked GAINS!!

(“Isn’t that Coach Vargas’s stuff?”)

(“You'd think so, wouldn't you?")

Lucius pulled the binder free. It fell to the floor and opened, revealing weekly schedules, exercises, and protein (and egg)-rich meal plans. Ruggie cocked a brow expectantly. Lucius rolled his eyes and tugged out a loose piece of paper free with his teeth. He deposited it before Ruggie.

Several bubbles littered the page, a single dark circle in each row.

The answer key.

("He suspected cheating on the last exam because of the higher than usual grade average, so extra precautions were taken to hide this one. Vargas collaborated with him.")

("Whoo-hoo! Way to go, Lucius-kun! You're the CAT!") Ruggie cheered, snatching the sheet up. His eyes greedily ran across it, committing each answer to memory. ("Always a pleasure doin' business with ya!")

("Yes, yes. Now then, about that first can of fancy tuna...")

[internetskiff]

hoo boy. SOMA. I definitely do not think of that game often ahaha that game certainly has not affected me in any way

Anyways!! Catherine Chun is honestly my favorite deuteragonist in gaming because of how well she's written (sorry Wheatley (he's a close second though)). On my first playthrough I (and I assume a lot of other people) just immediately decide "OK, she's the only other sane 'person' on this station, so she's automatically a friend", and hell, it seems that's how Simon himself views her from the moment they first speak at Upsilon's comms center. But reading into her dialogue, she really doesn't seem to view Simon as a buddy at all up until like.. Their heart-to-heart at the Climber methinks. Just look at how she speaks with him whenever he starts getting existential.

She speaks to him as more of an annoying coworker at times. Considering her attitude towards other sentient machines, I think it's extending even to Simon. She sees him as a means to an end, or at least tries to, up until she has to copy and paste his mind into a new diving suit. And then, when she fails to hide the original Simon from the newly created duplicate and he is rightfully distraught and furious - I think that's when the actual weight of it all hits her.

This interaction still fucks me up a little. The distress in that "Please, stop" as Simon (very righftully) lashes out at her. It's even worse when you consider this is how most of the people she scanned treated her. They're all desperate. They hope that when they sit down in that Pilot Seat and close their eyes, they'll open them in paradise. But when they end up exactly where they were. and realize a copy of them is going to be living it large on a spaceship while they continue rotting down at Pathos II, it's no wonder they'd suddenly view the whole thing as cruel and disgusting. It's still wrong and selfish, of course - especially directing that anger at the one person responsible for preserving humanity simply because you refuse to understand how brain scans work. It's worse when you realize she never got to defend herself from all of it, and in the end she was killed by her own desperate coworkers. And now she's experiencing it again. Unknowingly, Simon's putting her through the exact same thing her human template went through over and over and over again. She viewed him as a means to an end, but I think that stopped after she had to go through that. She shares her memories of home with Simon. I'd say they only REALLY start getting along at like, Phi, which makes the exchange immediately after the ARK is launched that much more gut wrenching. The thing is, while I think Catherine stopped viewing Simon as a means to an end, Simon didn't stop viewing her as one. From the moment she tells him about the ARK, he was probably itching to get on it. Sure, saving humanity is great, but you'd probably also want to be saved aswell, no?

The fact that this is her last exchange and these are the last words she manages to say is absolutely fucked up. You can just imagine what was going through Catherine's mind as she was saying this - Simon telling her she's "Fucking disgusting!", a sentiment echoed by people she considered acquaintances (people she was saving), seeing her own corpse with it's head bashed in by a wrench.. This wasn't just aimed at Simon, I think. This is basically her finally standing up for herself. Her standing up to everyone who despised her simply because THEY didn't understand how brain scans work. She did everything right, she saved humanity - and she was still treated like garbage in the end. And she doesn't even get to finish her sentence before her chip fries and she dies for the second and final time. And if Simon saw things from her perspective for once, he would have the time to pull her Omnitool out and save her from that.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

[Rose is having a good day. Ted was back, Pete would be out of the hospital soon, she was feeling pretty hopeful]

[Of corse, that hope had to be shattered. Though, surprisingly, it wasn't by an Eldrich being this time. No, this time it was a more human tormentor - Max [redacted] Jagerman]

Hey, Spankoffsi!

[He grabs her by her back pack. ]

Leave me alone, Max.

Fat chance, Nerd. All my buddies are gone, but that won't stop me from flying solo

[He snatches her back pack off her, then throws it down the stairs]

What is wrong with you?!

[He grabs her by the collar]

I'd watch my mouth, Rosie. I'd say your brother isn't here to protect you, but let's be honest, Micro-Peter wouldn't be much use anyways.

Pete's in the hospital, Max.

Aw, boo hoo. Maybe you can join him!

[He punches her in the face. Blood drips from her nose. ]

[Maybe it's the last year she's had, of being tormented by beings far worse than Max , but Rose just...snaps]

[She kicks Max in the gut. He stumbled back, suprised. She's surprised too, and horrified when she realises how angry he is]

Oh you little- you'll pay for that!

[Before Rose can even think about running, Max grabs her by the collar, ready to really do some damage. She tries to shove him away from her, but ends up loosing her balance]

[And falling down a flight of stairs. ]

[Max flees from the scene. Not that Rose can see. She lays on the floor, nose bleeding, loosing conciousness conscious]
