I adore Mouthwashing (the game, fucking hate Listerine) because to me it's less a game about taking responsibility and more of a game of HOW can you take responsibility when a situation is just so fucked up, when there is no right answer, where the most obvious thing to do is either not feasible or borderline impossible, or when your circumstances somehow bar you from doing so.

Do you wait till an opening? Do you try to keep the peace till then, even if the peace is already gone? Do you look at the big picture first and then the individuals? What is the most important thing at the very moment?

What do you do?

As an observer, the answers FEEL obvious and we hate and criticize people who don't do what we want them to do because we are not in that sphere, that relationship, that place. But the people in the situation are not observers, they are active parts of a situation and any action can and will affect them- only question is how.

And that how is way more difficult than what we make it out to seem.

So I feel such sadness when I think of Anya and what happened to her. Same with Daisuke and Swansea. I feel horrified and sorrowful over Curly's fate- he tried. Maybe not hard enough due to the many circumstances of his situation, but he didn't deserve what happened to him.

And for Jimmy? It is so fucking rancid that he's just able to escape what he's done by suicide and by deluding himself that Curly is grateful to him for keeping him alive and putting him in the cryo chamber and that Curly "forgave" him because that was just the man that Curly was before the crash.

So yes, while Mouthwashing is about taking responsibility, it's moreso a game of how can you take responsibility instead.

I've received a sudden influx of followers because of an entirely unrelated textpost from several years ago, which means all of you legally have to read my current interest in order to understand my blog. ooooh you wanna read scum villain's self-saving system so bad (Anna's archive link since the internet archive is down)

some quotes to further persuade you:

also read my fanfiction. hi.

[rexferg]

i know, i know, jj is so fucking strong and she perseveres despite everything she’s gone through, i know, but fucking hell my heart is breaking over and over for her

the far away look in her eyes

the constant fidgeting to keep herself present

the way she only has the bare minimum amount of skin showing, even to where she’s covering her hands

my heart hurts for her so much and she’s forcing herself to deal with all of this alone

[keywhole]

so hows everyone feeling about love winning in nevada

[miss-galaxy-turtle]

I'm sorry but

Nolan: I deserve death

Allen: Oh, god

Absolutely fucking sent me

finished persona 5 and the only thing i can take from this is how fucking robbed akechi fans were like fym you crafted the most tragic and gut wrenching character only for him to be missing for like 90% of the story and only show up in minor flashbacks or cutscenes and momentarily join ur team only to stab you in the back and proceed to be the most problematic bitch in the game despite not even having a palace

Wade’s trauma is “Dark Comedy adult cartoon” flavoured while Logan’s is “Adult Drama/Adventure” flavoured. you picking up with I’m putting down here?

[longmaxsilvarg]

just think that it's maybe like really kinda a tiny bit cruel that chloe and joyce don't get to be together no matter what ending

“If Han Dongsoo had looked up from his bowl of soup, he would have seen how the light in Doyoung’s eyes shattered. How the seething fury on his face quickly warped into disappointment. Seo Doyoung killed those feelings, before it can take root deep into his heart and consume him whole.”

thinking about the way ghost doesn't hesitate to start killing shadows when graves betrays them but soap only takes one hostage

you can almost hear the voice in his head telling him it doesn't have to be this way; they can still talk it out

"i'm calling shepherd"

his first instinct when confronted with betrayal is to play it by the books; to go up the chain and sort it out democratically. that goes against everything we've seen him do; he’s quick to drop his enemies and bucks authority at every chance except for the one time he's confronted with the barrels of his allies' guns

he wants a peaceful resolution; for the first time we've ever seen, he doesn't want violence to be the answer

there has to be another fix, a solution that doesn't end with him killing the same men he's been working with; his friends

nothing's happened yet

it doesn't have to go this way

but ghost has been betrayed before. he knows the way this ends; either with him six feet under or his enemy

he doesn't hesitate

it's only when they knock alejandro out that soap shoots; when they spill the first blood and cross a line they can never come back from

only when ghost orders him to run and he has to cover his retreat

and somewhere along the line, between civilians’ screams and taunting voices, between his shaking breath and ghost steady in his ear, that naivety is stripped away; his trust turned to teeth that he uses to sink into throats of men he'd have given his life for

"be careful who you trust, sergeant; people you know can hurt you the most"

he's learned the price of trust

just like ghost did

but unlike ghost, he has someone to guide him through the aftermath

"good advice, It"
