#like he cant just kill or cryo or lock up Jimmy

You babify Curly way too much

I don't consider it babyifying more realizing the situation these characters were in and understanding the complexity of their choices. I always mention that Curly should've done more but the solutions people give aren't realistic at best or ignoring the plots and themes entirely at worse.

A lot of takes do act as if Curly wasn't guilty at all but I try to talk about the parallel of that tragedy between Jimmy, Curly and Anya, the difference between good intentions and ignorance along with trying to explain view points of characters we don't get. I don't think Curly did anything in his inaction about Anya out of malicious intent but inaction and misguided intent. It's how he parallels Jimmy who was genuinely menacing and tormenting her.

I don't know why people act like Curly should be punished further in the story. The game centers around his torture and dehumanization at the hands of Jimmy so he finally understands what Anya went through and couldn't escape. I don't strip him of the wrongs for enabling Jimmy and not protecting Anya but I do explore the deeper reason in his thinking and he's not characterized as intentional malicious, but just too focused on the wrong aspects.

I just dont understand making something so grey black and white when it comes to Curly's effectiveness as a friend/protector to Anya and a friend/enabler to Jimmy, but people tend to forget the form part of that statement.

mouthwashing au i had while in da shower

this is all half baked lol

i wanna make an au where jimmy gets "jailed" (put in the cryopod) by curly bc A) he feels like he failed anya and B) wants to prevent it from happening again. but also for a bit of a selfish? reason of like not wanting to deal w jimmy at all bc thats his bestie who did That. i think hed struggle deeply with knowing how to deal with it. like finding out someone you trust and care about doing something deeply horrific. itd be easier for him to sweep it under the rug (for a lack of better words). and maybe hed shove his own feelings aside bc "im not the one whos hurt here, so i shouldnt make this about myself." instead, he could just put everything in the pod and deal with things later. i cant imagine curly doing nothing forever, since the higher ups would wonder why jimmy got popsicle'd. and he seems like a "by the books" guy anyway, so i think he wouldve said something to the higher ups eventually. as to why cyro jail would happen, attacking/killing jimmy would make him retaliate/act in self defense (i doubt curly would want anyone else to get hurt. also curly wouldnt want to get into any legal trouble. tbh i dont know how well a company would take "yeah we tried killing a rapist." but i doubt curly would take that risk. hed be against others risking themselves as well). also the only 2 rooms with locks are the cockpit and medbay, which are incredibly important and full of valuable shit. and i dont know how feasible itd be to turn some other room into a makeshift jail cell. and look at what happened when jimmy was allowed to walk freely. theyre stuck on a ship for 8 months total iirc so they really dont have alot of options. i think the others would be understanding about cryo jail if they knew what he did. though i have another idea. that someone else fucks with the cryopod that jimmy is in and causes the technology to fail. so it ends up killing him instead of safely preserving him. yes i know this is sciency tech, but what separates cyrotechnology and literal hypothermia? i couldnt imagine curly hurting jimmy. i could see it being swansea though. he probably knows enough abt the technology to make it look like an accident ("tulpar is showing her age"). knowing swansea's habit of hiding shit to protect others, i think hed do it solo. but yeah i just wanna see how curly would process knowing what sort of monster his friend is (and him actually doing something about it)
