The Hojo Mindset

This is also a character study into the thoughts of Hojo. This is also an explanation of how I personally have to think when writing Hojo.

Hojo never reveals the true purpose of his experiments. He gives the board enough to know there Gil is being spent in the right place and continues doing what he's doing. In fact, until the day atop the Sister Ray, Hojo never reveals the truth of any plan around him. He knows. He absolutely knows. But it's far more entertaining to watch the Neanderthals around him scurry in confusion.

Every decision he makes lacks human emotion. Every one of them is backed by pure logic. Emotional impact means nothing. In fact, emotional impact is only considered if it can be manipulated into achieving his goal. Be it for experimental results or to finally see his theories proven correct.

Now, a lot of Hojo's you'll see around are cruel for the sake of being cruel. Evil. Sadistic. I don't...have that in me. So instead of your stereotypical evil scientist cackling in the corner, I lean into the logical thinking. He does not answer a question directly. He does not allow any Specimen to understand his true goal. But worst of all, every torture is carefully crafted for an exact result.

It's terrifyingly simple. Action then consequence. Refusal to accomplish the assigned task means forcing the specimen into a far worse scenario. If the Specimen succeeds, then all other examinations are pushed up to the new intensity. If the specimen fails, and they will be given plenty of chances not to, surgeries begin.

"Endure the pain, Sephiroth. You have yet to reach your threshold.

The more you endure, the greater the power that will awaken in you."

Everything has a purpose. Everything has reason. Every experiment has a goal.

And every torture breeds results.

Derry Girls and Ted Lasso being the same genre of storytelling that i adore with all my heart

something-something-the-power-of-love-and-friendship, the best and worst moments of life often will coincide, incredibly real and flawed and lovely characters, comedy gold, and both shows always leave me with that heartwarming/aching feeling

So.

You guys remember human MM! Raph?

...well

Mutant Manhunt humans: Mikey Edition! I wanted to make him stand out more from other rottmnt artists' human designs, but cmon. He can't not have the fluffy dyed hair/vitiligo

fun fact: the red/black brooch in Mikey's first draft is No Longer Accurate to what Raph's human disguise thingy looks like! Instead, it's his old Nexus Hotel name-tag :]

Leo's probably next btw

Something I drew like. Last January and forgot about for a while... my take on Ace and Sabo in Egghead.

[hollow-toy]

see the thing about being a couple's third is that i don't want to be an equal member of the relationship. i want to be their third. the periphery member, the one who's brought in occasionally for the stuff they don't do with each other, the accessory for parties. sure i want them to like me, i want them to desire me. but not as a person. as a prop who adds texture to their already existing relationship
