if i had a nickel for every time beetee should have warned a boy from the seam about the consequences of his actions while the fandom bends over backwards to justify it, i would have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

That moment when a tf figure topples over and you rush to it, carry it in your arms, pretending it just died during an epic battle before carefully setting it back up

Best mindset to have while playing Eden's Garden: Just predict that everyone will die. Literally everyone. Don't get your hopes up on anyone surviving. The easiest way to avoid disappointment and heartbreak is to keep your expectations so low that there can only be wins 👍

One thing about Adam and Eve is that after eating the apple, not only they were forever cast out from the Garden of Eden but the rest of humanity was as well. Eva executed the first murder-- she bit the apple and was punished for that act of crime. Does that mean that along with her, everyone else is now barred from paradise? How will that part of the bible play a part in the game, if it will at all?

Hey! I love your works, thanks for sharing them! Your stuff is some of my favorites in the fandom!

I just wanted to ask your opinion on how Malenia and Miquella (from FoR and your characterization of them specifically) would view Millicent. How do you think they'd interact with her? Would they avoid her? What would that mean for their own relationship? Etc etc.

Just asking because I think your take on Malenia and Miquella is so interesting to play around with.

Thanks! Your stuff is awesome!!

Wah, anon this is such a sweet message, I'm always humbled to hear people like my works and my characterizations! Thank you so much 🥺💕

I'm so sorry this is so long but as I'm sure you can imagine, I have Many Thoughts about Malenia lol.

I've actually thought quite a lot about Millicent and her sisters and I think, first and foremost, that she doesn't know about them at all. I think after her bloom and being carried back to the roots of the Haligtree that she's basically been in a pseudo-coma as the rot progresses now that she's needle-less, so she might know about the kindred of rot but not Millicent or her sisters.

With Malenia, I really focus on her lack of autonomy as a character throughout the most formative years of her life and the trauma that undoubtedly came with it, where she is burdened with the rot which would have effectively ostracized her from most people except Miquella (because of his immunity to the rot). This is also in addition to her being named as an Empyrean and already having her fate decided for her. So the nature by which Millicent and her sisters came to be, after her bloom and presumably like offshoots or cuttings from plants, they'd be another blow against her autonomy because she didn't have a say in their creation (implied by Gowry raising them and her rejection of the kindred of rot).

Specifically with Millicent, I imagine Malenia would see a lot of herself in her, and I think she would harbor a deep resentment because of that - not because she'd dislike Millicent, but because Millicent would be a reflection of her younger self. Someone who is spawned from her, consequently cursed BY her, to suffer the same hardships. Millicent is the same as younger Malenia, which consequently forces Malenia into the role of the Outer Rot God in their dynamic - unwittingly having taken on the role of the thing she hates. If Malenia had embraced the rot like Romina, I think it would be different, but every time she accepts it, it's when she's at the end of her rope with no choices left and she's essentially resigned herself to death.

This might sound harsh, but it's also why I love her as a character - I believe Malenia is ultimately deeply selfish in her actions where Miquella is concerned (and vice versa ignoring all the DLC). She's sworn herself to his cause, has proven herself willing to die for him, to go to war for him, to commit countless atrocities in his name and inflict the very thing she despises - the curse that has caused her so much misery - on countless others. For him. But! In a twisted way, it's also for herself! Because for once, this is HER choice. She decided to take on the title of his blade and devote herself to him. No matter the ask, no matter the cost.

Miquella, who knows Malenia better than anyone and has been by her side throughout the worst of it, knows all of this. I believe he would be sympathetic to Millicent and her sisters (also seeing a younger Malenia in them) but I suspect that while he would also try to help them in secret, he'd be (selfishly) keeping them away from Malenia so that she wouldn't have to deal with all the trauma I mentioned above. He might feel some guilt about it, but with how I write him in FoR, he's always willing to harbor some secrets if he believes it's in Malenia's best interest. He wants to save her, to give her back the life she's been denied - a life free of her rot and any burdens. And that would mean a life without five magically spawned new dependents whose existence would be inflicting constant psychic damage on Malenia and that she'd feel responsible for.

In a timeline where the twins are far less codependent, and where they're not both so focused on Miquella's ambitions to cure Malenia of her rot and revolutionize the world, maybe Malenia is able to take the time to heal and make peace with herself. In that timeline, maybe Millicent would serve to be a positive and healing influence on her.

In response to this post

I don't necessarily think that saying "rapists and pedophiles should be castrated" is inherently fascist. You are right though that people will make it their life mission to include as many people within the definition of what a rapist or a pedophile is. But that just makes it so that kind of punishment cannot be used... Idk ethically? (My mind went kinda blank here trying to describe what i mean) Not that castration as a punishment towards rapists and pedophiles is wrong or unjustified. Or at least your argument is not a good one for it being wrong or unjustified. Just that the risk for it being abused makes it near impossible to actually practice, much less on a large scale.

oh yeah it's not inherently fascist to say that. missing context: i saw a post of self-described feminists (terfs) cheeeing at italian fascist giorgia meloni's "castrating rapists" policy. they are the "you guys" in the "you guys are so stupid" haha. that's why i wantes to make it clear first and foremost that the politicians advocating for this are NOT on your side even if you seem to believe the same thing.

tbh i don't believe things like "rapists and pedophiles should be castrated and killed" are justified on principle, but that's honestly irrelevant. it's much much more important to focus on practical reasons, aka "here is how this can and will be used against innocents". i may not ever be able to convince people based on abstract moral philosophy grounds about how everyone deserves bodily autonomy, even horrible people, and that's totally fine to me. i don't mind if you believe that some people do deserve to suffer or die and so on, the most important part is acknowledging why putting that into law or practice would set a horrible precedent. the practical always trumps the theoretical.

it's like the death penalty, really. the question "does anyone really deserve to die?" is secondary to "would i trust any government with this power?" that risk of misuse is the most important part imo.

I'm rewatching Steven Universe rn and there's such a big love for Pearl inside of me that I had to say something.

I mean, I love all the crystal gems but Pearl's my woman, and she deserves all the love and respect in the world!!!
