Just posted the first chapter of my Silent Hill based on the first game in the series. It also contains ideas, places and characters from the Play Novel version and other games across the series.

It's all written, so I hope to post a chapter every day in this 25th anniversary year of the first game.

Story: Silent Hill

This is kind of the vibe I'm feeling lately.

In the end, of course, it would never work out for you.

Happy 45 Birthday to Lisa Berry.

The way I am hyperfixating on this movie and it isn't even out yet.

Lisa Frankenstein (2024), dir. Zelda Williams

[darchildre]

I picked up my Starforged game last night for the first time since last August, played for three hours, and now that's all I want to do today.

Today, capitalism is a problem for me specifically, because I have to go to work and do things other than continuing to play through the space adventures of the sad, neurotic nerd I've created and eir empathic Lisa Frank rainbow cat.

Happy Pride!! Perhaps some Doctor Who?

All the alarms start blaring.

Tosh says it's coming from beneath the basement, the sub level tunnels that they haven't used since the Blitz. Jack shouts for all hands, thinking anything smart enough to get in that way might be a problem. Gwen and Owen grab their guns and line up with Tosh. Jack leads them down, sparing a moment to wonder where Ianto is and hoping he was smart enough to get somewhere safe while they handled this.

He’ll look back on this moment with a grim sort of irony later.

They find a terrifying contraption and an even more horrifying being inside of it – a partially converted cyberman. Or cyberwoman, as the case may be.

She has Ianto.

Except after the first spike of fear and adrenaline, he realizes that’s not right, exactly.

Ianto is kneeling by the machine, fiddling with the needles and wires in her legs. She’s free from the waist up, sitting upright, with the warm brown of her skin and the silver metal melding seamlessly together. She looks human from the neck up, a discarded cyberman helmet to the side.

For a moment they’re all completely still, looking at each other in silence and surprise.

Then she says, “I told you that was the wrong wire.”

She sounds human. No metallic twang to her voice, no robotic facsimile of emotions.

Ianto shoots her an irritated look. “Excuse me for being concerned about electrocuting you.”

“I could take it,” she says, offhand.

“Ianto,” Jack says with all the calm he’s able to muster. “Get away from her.”

“So you can shoot her?” he asks. This is not the nervous, eager man he’s used to dealing with. Has he been infected too? No, it’s not inhuman. Just different. “I’d rather not.”

“I could take it,” she repeats.

Ianto reaches up to pinch her in the side. She doesn’t react, likely barely able to feel it, but she does pout. Which is oddly disconcerting. “Just sit still and let me finish getting you out of this thing. I didn’t spend the last year rewriting the cyberman protocols just to watch you get shot.”

“Okay,” Owen says, “what the fuck is going on here?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” Ianto asks.

She slaps him on the shoulder. Jack flinches. She’s strong enough, even partially converted, to break bones with that hit, but Ianto just rolls his eyes.

“Apologies,” she says. “I’m Ianto’s fiance. Lisa Hallet.”

helluva keeps being accidentally educational about what abuse is (and isn't). I've learnt more from people dissecting the show about abuse than I ever would have from just the show itself

but I guess it's inevitable that would happen when the writers won't allow for the possibility of one character ever being in the wrong or needing to own his shit like an adult

coming from the perspective 'X is fundamentally a better person than Y therefore X is always right' is dangerous because it means they're purposefully blind to the idea that X can ever be in the wrong if whoever is calling them out is "less than" them

we see this all the time in real life - if the victim ticks any of the Bad Person boxes (sex work/even casual drug use/fights back instead of crying and pleading) then their abuser is elevated above them and people refuse to even consider the idea that they could have been abused

and it's pretty funny in a frustrating way how Blitzo ticks basically all the boxes that would be used to discredit someone - hypersexual, attachment issues, not a great understanding of boundaries himself with how he treats M&M, working class & poorly educated, very likely POC when in human form

meanwhile Stolas has a complete straight flush of qualities used to treat him as 'better' - white, royalty, highly educated, oh-so sweet and sensitive (supposedly), just wants a monogamous relationship, is already a victim of his lying evil wife

it's honestly kind of impressive how HB has - completely by accident - written a narrative that reflects the 'imperfect victim' prejudice people have in real life. and that's not getting into how Stella's portrayal is second only to Lisa from The Room in terms of the stereotype of the hysterical evil woman who is evil just because she likes being evil

it'd be grimly funny if the fans of the show weren't parroting talking points used against victims in real life. instead it's just grim

Tell me about it! It's incredibly grim and setting us all backwards, but if it weren't for this show, I never would have learned about the term "triangulation." Thanks, wildly abusive relationship that Vivziepop thinks is hot!

This exchange between Antares and Tattletale in 13.6 perfectly encapsulates how Victoria's entire attitude towards capes comes from a point of privilege and why, in turn, she's so goddamn annoying to me so much of the time.

For a person whose entire life was crafted around capes, Victoria was remarkably untouched by the damages of being a parahuman, up until Leviathan and the Slaughterhouse Nine. From the moment she triggered, she had the support of a nuclear and extended family (ignoring the fucked up dynamics therein since they didn't become fully apparent until S9 anyway). She went to school and had friends and a boyfriend. She joined the Wards, a government-regulated institution that was basically a parahuman work-study program for kids. Her earliest encounters with villains were hand-picked to be age- and ability-appropriate. Caping, to her, was equal parts performance and intellectual exercise.

And then you have Lisa: teen runaway, whose career - for lack of a better word - as a cape began when an underground criminal mastermind decided to use her and a group of other equally struggling teens as pawns in his long-running game. Lisa didn't get to choose who she fought against; when she met Taylor, the Undersiders were being pitted against Lung, for fuck's sake. If she decided she wanted to step back from being a cape for any reason, Coil would've had her thrown out on the street at best and straight up killed at worst.

During that pause after the "wriggling pieces" comment, was she thinking about Dinah, kidnapped and drugged and kept as a pet precog? Was she thinking about Alec and the rest of the Heartbroken, the horrible things they had done to them and were forced to do simply because of the circumstances of their birth? Was she thinking about the schoolkids forced to join the ABB? Was she thinking about Noelle? Was she thinking about Bonesaw, who was drafted into the Slaughterhouse Nine when she was six fucking years old?

To Victoria, kids being chopped into wriggling pieces was something reserved for only the most heinous S-class threats, while to Lisa, it's not too far removed from the grim realities of being a cape that she's been immersed in from day 1. And to Victoria, who had the blinders on for so long and has been so conditioned to care about the squeaky clean image, bringing up those grim realities is a bitchy, underhanded move and not just like an acknowledgment of how fucked up the world is.

Victoria is so accustomed to being on the high road that she thinks viewing things from anyone else's perspective means she's lowering and debasing herself, and that anyone operating on a different level from her is dealing low blows on purpose and not because they were forced to by external circumstances.
