#infold when i catch you infold

[abxssalwrites]

(this is nothing but abyss still upset at the fact that sylus was so fucking young when those people casted him out. and the fact that he tried to cut his horns and dragon parts off just to fit in. im STILL fucking sick infold.)

what was a little boy like him supposed to do?

Taken from his family for being such a monster. All he wanted to do was fit in. His abnormal silver hair and crimson eyes made him stand out, but it's not like he could control how he was born.

He watched as those steel blades came hurdling towards him with the intent to kill. He watched their faces twisted in anger, disgust, and hatred.

Maybe the thing you wanted to be was corrupt all this time, boy.

Fiend, monster, destroyer, every bastardly name, he heard it all. All directed towards him.

Suddenly, the word "peace" escaped his vocabulary.

The horns he'd desperately tried to cut and yank from his tender head, once smooth appendages grew jagged and sharp like obsidian. The blood trickled down his forehead, over his right eye, a reminder of the power he had been born with.

Use it, boy.

The ache in his back grew; it felt as if he was being torn apart from the inside out. Like a butterfly from its cocoon, his wings sprouted from his back, a reminder of the power he had been born with.

Use it, boy.

The tail he had been given, the terrible pain that rooted at his tailbone, as his horns, the tail grew long, jagged, spiky. A reminder to him of the power he had been born with.

Use it.

He wasn't human, and it occurred to him that he never would be. As much as he wanted to convince those people, convince himself that he could become something he wasn't, it was all for naught.

Survive was all he could think. His right eye surged with power, his sclera turning jet black. He had not yet grown his claws.

It was all a blur. His scream, his cry, his roar. It shook the very earth the people stood on. Before he knew it, the ones who attempted on his life were laying before him, in a pile of corpses and blood.

His breath was heavy, the metallic scent filling his nose. How pleasant, he thought for a moment, as he looked down at his newly attained claws. The blood of the corrupted has become his strength.

He had never felt so tired, so exhausted. His crimson red eyes lost their shine and had become dull, quiet. Cry? Did he remember how to do that? He wasn't sure. He felt as if he wasn't real.

Loneliness seeped deep into his heart and made shelter there. Hatred and anger also found their way in there.

What in this cursed life did he have to live for?

This version of Slipping Through My Fingers is so insanely Caleb-coded that it isn't even funny when I'm having a Crisis about it alone in my room anymore

Here are some of the lyrics that make me scream to myself silently every time they play because the feels cannot be contained anymore (I love his character SO much (and my poor friends have to listen to me info-dump about him every alternate day because I discover something new)):

Do I really see what's in her mind?

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

She keeps on growing

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table

Barely awake, I let precious time go by

Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling

And a sense of guilt I can't deny

What happened to the wonderful adventures

The places I had planned for us to go?

Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't

And why, I never know

It's the fact that the person who grew up with you now feels that you have grown into something beyond them- and even though you know this, can feel it in your very bones (some of which aren't the same anymore), it hurts when they look at you like you're a stranger.

"I wonder... When did you turn into someone I hardly recognise?"

If they can't find you in the wreckage of a life you've created for yourself, then who can? Who would bother? You've spent your entire existence dedicated to one person only, and now they tell you that you've... killed the version of yourself that they knew?

How much must that hurt... Ugh just imagining it makes my heart squeeze.

This is not a MC-hate post btw. I love MC and she was totally justified in her reaction- hell, if I were in her shoes my reaction would be even worse.

It was a betrayal from her end as well. In a single moment, she lost the two people she had known the longest- in a world that seemed so unknown and turbulent, they were her constant. And as much as I love Caleb, both him and MC let their relationship develop in a way that always had her relying on him (she was already trying to reduce this back in the main story pre-explosion). And yeah, he liked it, but it must have led to a lot of issues later when he was gone. Dealing with all that in the midst of your grief... It hurts really bad. You have to deal with the sadness, of course, but also the unexpected anger that the person you'd leaned on had let you become this way- that you had let yourself become this way. Even if they never said it, you realise you'd become overly dependent on them- perhaps turning into a burden in a way. And then managing to figure it all on your own while managing everything else is a Task.

And after MC's handling everything (badly, I might add- homegirl was always throwing herself into situations), suddenly she meets him again. How happy must she have been- how angry she must have been. If he'd been alive all this time, why did he never contact her? Why did he let her suffer all this time alone?

And anger at herself, too. After all, who is she to demand he come back to her as soon as he was alright- when he was clearly dealing with things of his own. Wasn't this what she wanted? For him to live his own life?

But then why does it hurt so much? Where does she place all these messy emotions?

Of course they'd go to the most convenient target, the one who'd always had both arms open for whatever she had to give- her once childhood best friend, now Farspace Fleet Colonel, the one who despite everything even now, refused to tell her what was going on (bro pls just communicate 😭😭😭)- Caleb.

Ahem. Now back to Caleb 🧍‍♀️

Yeah, he's looked after her as he grew up, but he was still a kid too, just a few years older. He's made mistakes (like the time he locked her in the attic- which is the only one I remember off the top of my head now), he's messed up. Despite it, he's tried to make sure she always knew his heart behind all his actions, the one that convinced her that he loved her and would always be by her side no matter what.

And now for that person to tell you that that part of you (that still existed within you, according to you- after all it was such a big part of you that it might never die even if you tried) was gone, what did that make you? Who were you now, without your successful and all-encompassing devotion?

I also strongly believe Caleb must be suffering from atleast some memory loss effects from the Toring chip- I'm not sure what memories they could be, but something. So to imagine the fear he must keep buried deep within himself, as a self-appointed keeper of memory to be losing that very essence of yourself... It would scare the heck out of me, tbh.

And in a way, MC was telling him that those memories he'd treasured of their childhood together (of their past before, the one that she didn't remember), they didn't belong to him anymore- because he wasn't that Caleb anymore. It's like snatching the anchor off a ship, leaving it to drift off aimlessly for who knows how long.

I'm so so glad that they make up slowly, awkwardly after the events of the main story- both of them deserve it so much. Because both have changed, both have turned into someone the other doesn't recognise ("I feel like... I don't know how to take care of you anymore.") and now together, intentionally, with both hands and willing hearts- they can reach out to the other and meet them in the middle. They can learn anew. And this time, they'll make sure to never leave the other's side.

(Whether that's as romantic partners or platonic, is up to everyone's individual preferences. I just really love the way their relationship was written!!!)

Tldr; I just really love Caleb, man. Him and MC's relationship is so well-written, and they deserve some PEACE INFOLD PLEASE 😭😭😭

DAMN!!!!!!

COME HOME ALREADY !!!!!😩😭

my favourite part about infinity nikki is how UNDENIABLY feminine it is.

its not just a girls game, its THE girls game.

there is no denying that this extremely successful game was made for feminine people.

and so to see this game built off of femininity and love and kindness fall apart in 1.5, to see nikkis character become nothing more than just another “destined saviour…”

im heartbroken.

spoilers ahead

no longer is she saving miraland because shes a good person, because she cares, because she wants to help, because shes fallen in love with miraland.

now she is doing it because she has to. she doesnt really have a choice anymore. if she doesnt save miraland, the seer will just reset her and start the whole thing again.

not to mention that she is the only being in the entire universe who matters now. why would she care about a single faewish sprite in wishfield being teased anymore, only nikki matters apparently.

nikki was soft and sweet and caring, she stood her ground when she needed to and she always listened to both sides. every small issue was important, every life worth defending and saving. because thats just WHO SHE IS.

changing a characters motivations changes who they are. this isnt strong character creation. and this isnt feminism. nikki is a stereotype, thanks seer.

I was doubtful to get the new quad card because them acting like a real animal is not really my thing. But then there's Rafayel rubbing his face on MC's chest and I'm sold.

[sillysylle]

[endorphins-assembly-line]

The first thing that came to mind when the trailer for Caleb's myth dropped was the nightcore Angel with a Shotgun videos (I love that man dearly and I WILL be pulling)

[sadfragilegirl]

I know this is going to take too long to say this but...I am gonna ramble now.

When will have those dialogues when I turned around with Xavier are going to be finally voiced??? It's been months and they didn't updated those dialogues when I spin the angle of the camera. Up until now, it didn't updated with voice. 😭

The only dialogue that is voiced is after I spin with Xavier too many times.

Infold, please update those dialogues with voice? It's been too long now.

[tbaluver]
