do you think operator & drifter treat their warframes wildly differently?

somewhat insufficient TLDR: i think the operator and drifter are emotionally attached but in vastly, strikingly different ways, and it manifested very, very differently too.

in operator's case, it isn't that they dont *care*, but they know how durable a warframe is. they know they can take one hell of a hit, and they'll be okay because that warframe takes the brunt of it (albeit with some phantom pain if the damage is bad enough). theyre less comfortable outside the confines of those large, bulky war machines because they know they're ultimately safe. those warframes can take hits. they cannot. the operator knows they were people, but they never met those people before the tragedy. besides... a lot of them really are just empty shells. they're hardly the people they once were, especially since they recreated those warframes from blueprints. don't get me wrong, they do remember the anguish of the originals - they were there, they lived it, and they still have empathy for them... but the operator knows the limits of every warframe like the back of their hand - they can maneuver however they want, they can take hits, they can run into armies and not be too afraid because they (as in the operator and the warframe this time) be fine. even if the warframe is damaged, they can fix the damage, so no harm done.

but drifter on the other hand? at first i think they never really realised the power they had. in their mind they were still them, just running, rolling on the occasion, it took them ages to maneuver those things *properly*, and probably only ever really learned with the operator's guidance. they would not let a warframe take a hit, not because they felt empathy for it (at least not a lot, last i checked you kind of need at least *some* to have effective transference?) but because they were so used to walking around vulnerable. yknow, not inside a killing machine. but what would've really solidified the difference was after they went to 1999. sure, hearing that these things used to be people is one thing, but at the end of the day, to drifter, they're still just machines. drifter never got to experience what the tenno did, they never had to deal with reaching into their freshly scarred minds to ease their anger, sorrow, fear, rein them in like the terrified animals they were turning into and hush their cries with understanding - they only knew the dead inside remnants... but it's an entirely other thing when you go to the past and see the people who were hurt. you meet them and you get to know them, become their best friends - maybe even date one of them - and it hit drifter like a fuckin' freight train. they have this entirely different view on warframes from that cold perspective they had at first. they weren't just war machines. those are people. every time they go into the head of those machines, they're looking through the eyes of *people.* people who had families and desires and hobbies, things they looked forward to, entire futures ahead of them that were snuffed out. people who were scared, people who didn't know what was happening. people who knew what was happening, who lived in fear knowing they weren't able to stop it... people who lived in fear of losing themselves. and i think it hit drifter a lot harder than they'd ever admit.

but thats not to say one of them is more attached than the other - both of them care deeply about their warframes. it's just that, they have different ways of looking at them. after all their experiences were so vastly different, it'd be impossible to look at them the same way.

(too lazy to type it out all over, but i have an example in the tags i think kinda helps pull it together more)

kaido and nendo casually watching saiki freak out over his crush and barely reacting or caring about why is so funny to me

[askgardenerwoods]

Broi finally got Maru's heart event where demetrius threatens the player for getting close to Maru. And man i hate that guy.

Dude im MARRIED i have TWO KIDS. I AM A MILLIONAIRE. I have COMPLEX TECH ON MY FARMS. I USE MAGIC. MY DEAD GRNDFATHER PATTED ME ON THE SHOULDER AND TOLD HES PROUD OF ME.

"DOnt wAnT AnYThiNG geTTinG in thE WAy of HEr FUtuRe"

MATE THAT'S YOU. YOU ARE GETTING IN THE WAY OF HER FUTURE. YOU ARE LITERALLY SABOTAGING HER SOCIAL LIFE FOR YOUR EGO.

I know we are all in agreement here that Demetrius is the SOLE CAUSE of the rift between Seb and Maru.

But have you NOTICED who exactly Maru's friends are?? Penny (a teacher), and Harvey (her BOSS).

Though these are not the worst choices for friends (they are GOOD) but if you take into context Demetrius' warning toward the farmer, we can assume he did this to any person that might start to become friends with Maru.

Maru is outgoing and friendly, to the point where i could literally see her being friends with almost anyone. She doesn't even really like Harvey that much and hes still considered her "friend"

Now, out of everyone in the village, who do you think are the most unlikely to get the talk? A doctor and a teacher. Two "intellectual" and "educated" people who are unlikely to "affect" her future negatively.

SO SHUT UP DEMETRIUS. I HOPE SEB WATERBOARDS YOU WITH MOTOR OIL FOR BEING A BAD DAD

NOT ONLY HAVE YOU FAILED ONCE AT THIS DAD THING YOUVE FAILED T W I C E .

SO SHUT UP GO HOME AND READ THE BOOKS ROBIN GETS YOU BEFORE I GO ALL GALAXY HAMMER ON UR FLAT FLATULANCE

nothing (besides everyone ignoring Orym's deal) has made me angrier than watching Dorian keep up this facade. Dorian Storm has always been a type of mask he's worn. At first he called himself a liar because of it. The happy go lucky bard was a way of escaping for him. He was escaping Brontë so he created Dorian. He didn't believe he was Dorian. Until the Crown Keepers made Dorian real. And for a while, he really believed he was Dorian. That he has this new family and new life and he could be who he truly wanted to be.

And then his brother came back and made his problems Dorian's problems. Until he had to put Brontë back on. Because even if the Crown Keepers + Cyrus called him Dorian, he was Brontë. He had to be who his brother thought he was.

When Cyrus dies, the thread to Brontë had snapped. He was going to see Orym, back to the Bells Hells, back to Dorian Storm. But the foundation of Dorian had shattered. Dorian was created in order to run from his place in life, family, Cyrus. Now he was gone. The Crown Keepers had fallen apart. His friends fell through his fingers and he couldn't do anything to stop it. He was once ready to side with a betrayer god for these people and now they're in the wind.

So Dorian shows back up to Bells Hella and he's completely broken. The foundation of both of his lives has been thoroughly rocked. No brother. No Crown Keepers. The two things that forged Dorian Storm. He wears that mask so fucking well. Because he still wants to believe in it. He said it live on stage that he should "believe his own backstory". The one he made up. The one where he was a bard.

He wants to be Dorian so bad. He spends all his money on Orym, he spins the bottle so he can kiss his friends, he flirts, he blushes and giggles at compliments. Exactly how Dorian would, should.

But he wears the gold of the heir. He has a festering animosity inside his chest. He doesn't sleep. He's thinner than he was. He doesn't sleep. He sicks abominations after their creators. He talks to God's without an ounce of self preservation, daring them to strike him down. He does not acknowledge them as they taunt him.

The god of beauty and magic calls him beautiful and he does not smile.

I dont mean this in a shipping context, but you can feel free to interpret it as that if you want, I just thought this interaction idea was silly and this is the exact interaction I was thinking of when I mentioned pretending they were chatting in this post

[archiewantsheetmetal]

i got sad so i drew my sons

[lake-cosay]

new headcanon that one of their favorite ways of spending time together is trying need and weird foods

jesse loves food, he loves weird stuff, lake presumably loves doing dumb shit for fun, and they get to experience all the foods they never had on the train

they get each other weird foreign snacks, lake introduces him to midwestern food, jesse gets lake to try apache recipes
