could you tell us about jim? its interesting to see you post about her / tag sh2r posts as jim and i’s love to know more

HI ANON i finally have time to sit down and talk about her proper so...

jim unitedair (or remake james sunderland) is pretty much just that: my interpretation of her. i am of the belief that she is still 29 years old in the remake, but she's around 9 years younger than the original james, as her story takes place in 1996 in my head (sh2 takes place during 1987 to me).

as evident by my consistent she/her-ing of her, she's a woman to me. a deeply closeted trans woman doing her damndest to manmode as she thinks if she does it long enough and hard enough, it will not only be best for her and eventually make her happy, but it will keep her safe. she is not happy with this. granted, there are other things in her life that make her unhappy as well, but like. being closeted is kind of a miserable fucking experience! having to lie to yourself and to others about what you feel intrinsically in yourself to be you is wildly soul-crushing!!!!!

to me, jim very much puts a damper on her personality—making herself as inconsequential as possible so as not to draw undue attention to herself. the core tenants of a james sunderland character are there, i.e. the dichotomy of callousness and compassion, but jim comes off as overtly more compassionate than james does. at least, in a way that isn't as clumsy as james. she's a lot more willing to smile, compared to the one time in the entirety of sh2 where james smiled—she comes off to me as not necessarily someone that's happy, but someone that's far more lighthearted and willing to joke around. the first conversation that she has with laura in the lakeview hotel says as much, honestly. she playfully chides laura for her previous behavior, but doesn't hold it against the kid, smiling all the while. she just seems like someone who has a tangible sense of humor, and overall, comes off as a very different character.

she draws a lot from Stock Male Archetypes to inform her behavior in my mind—with my transfem reading of jim, a lot of her actions come off as rather stifled and inhibited. on a base level, i wish she was more visibly desperate and not so fucking #Normal, but seeing it as her manmoding to hell and back makes it cohere a lot better. jim's a lot more present. bewildered as all fucking hell, but not... in a dissociative manner like with james. in that sense, she's kinda... anxiety tunnel-visioning to me. hyperfocused on the goal of finding mary that all else tends to fall by the wayside. she treats maria very standoffishly, both in the sense that she deeply fears her and what she represents, and also that jim perceives her to be a roadblock. she doesn't allow herself to fully grieve maria's deaths when they do happen, bcs in my mind, she's terrified of maria taking up space as "mary" in her head. in terms of eddie and angela, i think jim is deeply wary of eddie bcs she often finds herself uncomfortable around men due to past traumas, and develops a strong, albeit one-sided kinship with angela, who reviles men for much the same reasons that jim does, though to a lesser extreme.

i understand that the "jim was sa'd in a mental hospital" is a controversial theory, and the original positer of that theory has gone on to post the theory that "it was all a dream actually and jim is still in the mental hospital lol", of which i find... so exceedingly ridiculous that i can't even dignify it with a disparaging comment that would quantify my exasperation surrounding such, but i do, actually, like former theory. i don't think jim was previously sa'd, nor do i think she has schizophrenia. i also don't think she killed the director (i did initially, but the more i thought about it the more i disliked the idea in the sense that it felt like retroactively vilifying her to a ludicrous degree w/ her subsequent murder of mary) but i do certainly think she wanted to get her revenge. she was hospitalized around the same age my james was, 16-17 years old, so she was young when this happened to her. part of the reason why i like this theory so much is that it further ties her to angela, and expands upon why the abstract daddy boss fight is so much more immersive than in the original. (granted, i think james also experienced sa while institutionalized, but that's another conversation for a different post.) it also does good in explaining jim's attempts to be delicate and warm with angela, seeing in her the same trauma she once endured around her age.

in turn, with eddie, she doesn't exactly know how to handle his particular situation, wary of his coming with her when he asks bcs, again, she's not comfortable around men; and also wary of his escalating desire for violence. she does her best to try and soothe him, to try and talk him down, and tries to be a somewhat jovial and non-threatening presence, but she didn't succeed, unfortunately. eddie is in full trauma-brain mode, and every genuine attempt that jim makes to connect with him comes off as condescending and disparaging. jim's "well, at least you got your appetite back" comment and her whole back and forth with eddie in the prison cafeteria only further reinforces in eddie's mind that jim's just another skinny motherfucker laughing at him, making fun of him. jim punching eddie in the meat locker feels like the point in their relationship where that was the point of no return—no way that the two could fully understand each other; at least in this life.

it's kind of incredible to me how differently she comes off with angela than eddie, bcs i feel a much more genuine warmth there, like she wants so badly to connect with angela, as two women who have gone through some shit but came out the other end alive. but in her endeavors to try and reach her, angela pulls away bcs, unfortunately, she sees jim as yet another man trying to violate her like the rest of them have. i do wish that jim was more visibly shaken up after the abstract daddy boss fight, but her quiet "i don't know who you think i am, but i just want my mary back" line makes me close my eyes so fucking tight with the way i see her and her gender woes. fml man. estrogen could've saved her.

god, and also like. in terms of mary and maria, that in it of itself is a whole can of worms. maria in the sh2r is an amalgam of the couple, in terms of the woman that is both an idealized version of mary and jim. her sweetness, her playful nature, her tantalizing flirtation, all a testament to the sentiment of "i want to be with you and be you." it's a lot. now, in regards to mary, i think that jim latched onto her so much bcs she helped her get back on her feet at a very low point in her life. tfw you are an alcoholic janitor making minimum wage that is deeply dysphoric and suicidal and continually wrestling with your past traumas and then a beautiful brunette with the biggest brown eyes you've ever seen says hello to you and the two of you get to talking. and then she starts bringing you meals. and then she helps you clean your apartment. and then she takes you shopping so you can get new clothes, you go on dates, you fall head over heels in love with her, and now the two of you are married.

jim, for a bit, was willing to stay closeted and be the best "husband" she could be for mary, bcs she loved her very, very dearly and wanted to give back all that she gave to her. it started to eat away at her, though, and mary knew that something was wrong. mary tried and tried and tried to get jim to tell her what was going on with jim, but jim was always paralyzed with the fear that she would be maligned by the woman she loved most for telling her that she felt like a girl on the inside; that whenever she saw other beautiful girls on the street, she'd feel a dull pain inside her chest, that she hated looking at her reflection for longer than she had to, that she wished, more than anything, to have been born a woman like mary was. so, long story short, jim did not tell mary that she was trans, and in my mind, mary would have been accepting of that. confused but she's got the spirit. she loved jim very much, too!

at some point, mary didn't know what to do, so she decided that a vacation was in order—to take their minds off of what was bothering them and to just love each other in a beautiful place. they go to silent hill, and when they come back, mary is sick, and it's terminal. and we all know what happens afterwards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #DoomedYuri

in terms of like... the endings where jim does get to transition, i think she does that shit in the leave ending (naturally), the rebirth ending, and the bliss ending. in water, stillness, and maria are all endings where she doesn't do such bcs. well in the first ending of the bunch, she quite literally kills herself. stillness has her presumably wither away in silent hill to continue the cycle anew, and maria is not only a rejection of herself, but of her deed, and delving head first into selfish desires. yippie!!! it's funny though, bcs leave jim, rebirth jim, and bliss jim all have different things going on in terms of aesthetic and in terms of like... whether or not they percieve themselves to be human.

leave jim to me is very like... pretty office worker in terms of look. i think she grows out her hair again to be in a little bob (it was a fuckass bob when she first met mary 😭) and still wears a lot of button-ups, but adds blouses to the mix, as well as skirts and tights and other accessories, but overall pretty minimal. heels kinda scare jim, honestly, so she sticks to boots/shoes that have a little bit of heel, but nothing more than that. i like to think that she seeks out and connects with other trans women and forges lifelong bonds with them, as she still doesn't take laura in, knowing that she's the furthest thing from being a fit mother for her. i don't want her to be alone!!!!

rebirth jim is the cuntess of the church of the rebirth. i've drawn her before and she means the world to me.

i used outfit concept art for claudia wolf to inform my rebirth jim design bcs i thought they were too cool to go unused + i wanted to keep the fit within the parameters of the art direction team silent was going for.

bliss jim is. well, bliss jim is the manic pixie dream girl to end all manic pixie dream girls. she drank liquefied white claudia and became a universe-hopping entity akin to a deity of sorts and continually travels from universe to universe, so long as its localized within the bounds of silent hill. she can hop into any universe, be it fictional or not; she can travel to book universes, game universes, universes captured within a photograph or a video tape (wink wink) and she can travel to universes where she establishes the parameters, which is how she was able to physically transition LOL. i like to think bliss jim left those strange photos for what is effectively herself to collect, having observed the loop her other selves find themselves in for over two decades. she makes the message esoteric bcs she thinks that telling them outright wouldn't be great. and they always seem to have a habit of remembering the previous loops when they realize the truth of their situation.

she looks like this btw. i am of the very firm belief that jim can fucking rock a bell bottom and nobody can tell me otherwise. her bell bottoms also have forget-me-nots embroidered on the cuffs as a nod to the blanket that covered mary in the backseat of her car having the same flower on it. i think she just enjoys that flower a lot.

and that's... about all i can think of to say at the moment??? i know there's more rattling around in my brain but it's late and i've already written a lot so i hope this satisfies!!! thank you for reading.

oKAY fine i'll talk about my obsession with 'hook' v 'killian' and 'swan’ v ‘emma' no one asked for this

(basically more thoughts inspired by this post)

let's start with emma. (forgive me if i'm wrong but) we get killian introducing himself by full name to emma and the others, but there's no scene of him finding out her surname. (i would love to see how that conversation goes, and emma's reaction to him starting to use it all the time). anyway, she is primarily referred to as 'emma', 'miss swan', 'the savior' even...but to my recollection never just 'swan' by anyone else. same way emma calls henry 'kid' or rumple calls neal 'bae'.

basically, killian is flirting 101. give a girl a nickname so she knows that you like her. so she knows you refer to her in a way that other don't.

killian is more obvious. most people refer to him by his more colorful moniker; hook. not ! that hook is not a suiting name for him. it's become a part of him and i personally believe it's gone from a name people feared to one used endearingly. but you can see it in his face how much it means to him when she calls him by his name. since i've started paying attention, i can't remember anyone else calling him killian except people he's loved in the past (liam, milah).

'hook' is who he'll always be to everyone else, but killian is the person only some get to see.

here are some examples of when they call each other the opposite that matter to mE:

emma- "you come to me, hook" during the s6 ooc engagement-call-off fiasco

killian- "emma, are you alright?" 5x02 after emma saves robin's life and killian pulls away from the kiss

both are times they feel disconnected from each other.

and!!! the opposite. like the scene mentioned previously in 3x22 where they reunite, they are so happy to see each the rouse flies out the window and they connect instantly.

Art I did during my break but don't wanna post on main but you know what. I like Levi and Richard (and Arienne the redhead).

Basically, Levi and Richard go to school together, Richard decides to go by the name Richard and the only person to without question go along with "I'm a boy now" is Levi who calls him Dick. And then gets into fist fights with boys that don't call him Richard. So Richard falls pretty much in love in school then his parents divorce and he moves away.

Many years later (10+) Richard meets Levi again and it's very much nothing grand. Levi overhears Richard introducing himself to someone and is like "lmao Dick? You work here now? Sucks to be you" and Richard is immediately 'I love him so much I hate myself for how easily I give up all dignity for him' but yeah. They work in different departments so Levi does more behind the scenes stuff while Richard talks to clients and is very social.

And their coworkers in both departments love Richard because he's such a nice guy and Levi's department hates Levi a lot cause he's an asshole. (then stuff happens that would require a tw blah blah blah) So after a month of Levi not being at work he returns and Richard immediately goes over to the department to check on him and he's just. Incredibly mellow. No cussing and no cockiness and worst of all, he's being called Richard which is very much not correct from Levi. So he points it out that no one else calls him Dick and if he had a problem with it he would have said something by now so hey, maybe don't suddenly change the entire friendship on your own. (So Levi texts him later to say "sorry for being a dick, Dick" and Richard is v happy and content with that turn out)

Richard is honestly tragically created out of spite for the fact I saw a name IRL and I know that the state that I live in would in fact NOT have someone that intentionally funny and trans so I have to make my own funny trans guy to fill the void.

[undead-potatoes]

Would you be able to tell me about your HoF? 🙏

OH BOY OKAY SO I haven't talked about my Warden in forever on here, and I don't think most people even know about her, despite her being like my nr 1 baby girl of all time

My Warden is a casteless dwarf named Nimri Brosca, and was the catalyst for both my dwarf obsession AND my love for height/size difference romances. Made a lot of self discoveries with that one lmao

(Couldn't find a good screenshot atm, and I don't wanna wait until I've made her in Veilguard, so here's some neat art by @/serenityfails-art)

Nim is a stoic little thing, with resting bitch face and the energy of a small, angry dog who'll bite your hand off unless you're her handler. She cares about exactly one thing, which is to keep those she loves safe and happy, and she'd let the world burn to ashes if it meant keeping Rica from harm.

She can be very cautious and calculating, a consequence of working under Beraht for years and knowing that any little mistake could have dire consequences, not only for her but for Rica too. Unfortunately she's also defiant and spiteful, which isn't the best combo with her goal of staying alive. Over the years she got pretty good at skirting the line, which got her into trouble more than once (and nearly got her killed if not for Duncan). Unstoppable force vs uuuh another unstoppable force.

After years of living in an abusive home, and with a sister who was busy just trying to keep everything afloat, Nimri quickly learned to be fiercely independent. If she needed something done, she would have to do it herself. This attitude follows her in everything, and she's kinda terrible at asking for help or depending on other people for anything.

So with being an aloof control freak and bit of a loner, it's probably no surprise it took her a while to open up to the other companions. In the beginning she stuck mostly to Alistair, who at the very least had earned her uneasy trust, and she didn't socialize much with the others. They had to really work at it to crack that shell, but most of them got there in the end.

Leliana's stories reminds her so much of the stories Rica would tell her to sleep at night, and their little "girl talks" are admittedly kinda fun. Morrigan's pragmatism and dry wit is something she can appreciate, finding a friend where she least expected it. Sten's stubbornness and strange ways infuriate her to no end, but she'd be lying if she said she didn't enjoy mentally sparring with him. And her out-of-left-field best friend Zevran, who may be the only one who truly understands her in ways no-one else can.

Then there's Alistair, the big, comforting, eager mabari to her small, angry dog. It takes her a hot minute to warm up to him, but they eventually fall into this easy friendship and she starts to relax around him. They sorta balance each other out, with her dogged pragmatism tempering some of his naivety and grounds him when his emotions run away with him, while his earnestness and goofy demeanor helps her open up and be just a little bit more vulnerable.

Nim absolutely loves and adores her mabari, Rabbit. I headcanon that the Warden actually got to hang out at Ostagar for a few days between the joining and the battle, and that Rabbit started following her around after he recovered from the taint, annoyingly enough. After doing her best to outrun and outsmart him for a few days she finally gave up, and discovered she quite liked having a dog. He never judges, never falters or betrays, loves her just as she is, and is always there whenever she needs him. Plus he won't give her shitty platitudes when she's crying her heart out while clinging to him like a lifeboat in a storm.

When she's not out fighting for her life she loves to draw and read, once she learns how. She's always had an interest in drawing, but never much chance to practice it, and she wouldn't have had access to many books even if she knew how to read. On the surface there's plenty of paper, both with and without words on them, finally giving her a chance to indulge in both.

Reading in particular starts taking up a large amount of her free time, after her companions so kindly teach her how. In the beginning she'd grab whatever she could, usually nabbed from the libraries at Redcliffe castle whenever they stayed there, but she eventually discovers her love of cheesy romance novels. They're so far from her own life, so idealized and alien, that they become the ultimate form of escapism for her. Though I do think it fries her brain a little bit when Alistair finally comes around with his own cheesy, romantic ways haha

Anyways I could probably go on for another 50 incoherent paragraphs here but I have to stop somewhere 🙈

TL:DR; she's an asocial little control freak who loves her sister, her two dogs, and all the books of the world

Okay quick trivia round before we call it a day:

She's s not picky and will eat almost anything, except fish (she hates the taste, the smell, the bones, the flaky texture, just awful)

Her favorite brand of romance novels are the really smutty ones, and Alistair can always tell when she's reading one because suddenly she's hornier than usual lmao

In line with my own Orzammar headcanons she has no shame around nudity, and doesn't get what the fuss is about (surfacers are such prudes)

She becomes a little obsessed with bread once she has some made with real grain on the surface. It goes well with her other favorite food, soup

She has a big scar on her right calf from a deepstalker encounter, which she discovers starts to ache when it rains (what the fuck???)

If you made it this far thank u and I love u and have a good day

[alevolpe]

Okay but what if Mina intentionally lost to Mako.

You could say... she did it all for the noogie.

She would...

"I just let you win. As the leader is my duty to boost the team morale by raising individual self-confidence. You can thank me later girlie."

"Mhmh.. Sure thing blondie.

Now get over here."
