#if habit figured out shaun is able to remember previous loops. even though it isnt part of the timeloop itself

shaun and habit for the ship game??

nowadays the only circumstance where i "ship it" is the idea that habit might try to do something like this as a way to manipulate shaun and turn her against her brother(s)

i think habit could maybe be fucked up enough to treat someone desperate to be loved again (shaun had just lost her partner) with affection, just to reach its own goals ie killing patrick, and i think shaun could be in a bad enough mental state to kinda just allow it and cling to anyone who supposedly loves her. habit would probably try to mold her and get her desensitized to hurting other people. whether habit does actually love her to some degree is up for debate. i think once it tried to fully turn shaun against her siblings, she would end up snapping out of it and running away, or possibly being straight-up rescued/someone helping her escape (i have my own take on how it'd happen, but this answer is already very long)

it's not a wholesome thing to me. it's horrible, but it IS interesting to explore, because it can create a good story/narrative. in terms of what's healthy for her though, i ship shaun x getting the fuck away from that thang. i'm much more interested in the aftermath and recovery of it from shaun's end than i'm actually interested in the pairing itself, tbh
