i don’t know how accurate this will actually be bc i haven’t read all the routes and may poison arsenic with some of my (and possibly lucio’s) Bad Opinions

6/10 - friend

arsenic’s opinion: don’t get me wrong, he’s great. they’re a successful magician and they understand the gender stuff better than anyone. plus, you know, he taught me everything i know about magic and took care of me when i was -- you know. *vague zombie motions*

but i can’t help feeling something’s missing. like they expect someone else to be here and have to settle for me, you know? looking straight past me in my own eyes. there’s a history i’ll never know about and a person i’ll never be again, and it’d probably be better for everyone if we just.. start over.

assuming, of course, he can stay in the damn city long enough..

4/10 - simp

arsenic’s opinion: countess... hot

way out of my league, though. and i wouldn’t want to disappoint her with the uh, inherent class divide. what does she like? does she like bones?

(author’s note: this doesn’t change much for her route sdfh)

9/10 - partner

arsenic’s opinion: just, hold on. give me a second.

this man is scientific proof you can be highly intelligent and a fucking idiot at the same time. breaking him of that self-destructive streak is like pulling teeth, except the teeth are glued down and also weigh like 50 pounds each. he is a beautiful disaster. a wreck of a human being.

i just want to kiss his stupid face with that stupid grin and that stupid nose and the stupid eyebags big enough to fit a family of four and those STUPID EYES that look at you like you’re the only thing in the world for him. i want to listen to him recite anatomical terms like it’s goddamn poetry. i just want to listen to him say anything, really. i want to kiss him until his mouth is raw and fuck him until everything else is raw and just--

is this what they mean when they say ‘coming out of your shell’? because he should overwhelm me and sometimes he does but then it’s so easy to let that energy wash over you and carry you out to sea

the pain thing is a little weird, but i mean, he looks so cute when he’s into it so it evens out

???/10 - who?

arsenic’s opinion: no, seriously who is this??

10/10 - friend

arsenic’s opinion: one of the many benefits of knowing julian is knowing this ray of sunshine right here. AND HER CAT. I LOVE HER CAT. i would steal pepi if i could, and i’m not ashamed to admit this. i wonder if she’d let me reanimate her when the time comes

there’s a LOT of energy in her, though, more than julian, so it’s easier for me to get overwhelmed while hanging out with her. i have to bring her brother to absorb some of the off-set, but this doesn’t always work because they can also amplify each other’s energy..

all of us in the pillow pile is pretty good. i like the pile.

???/10 - complicated (9/10 partner)

arsenic’s opinion (most routes): he was already dead when i was finally a person again, i never really knew much about him before the uh-- all the stuff. i was not expecting quite that much supernatural bullshit at the bottom of a murder investigation.

despite everything, i don’t really hate him. i wouldn’t invite him for dinner, but i don’t hate him. i wonder what drives a man to get that involved in that sort of stuff. i find him kind of fascinating. from a distance. he is beautiful, though.

arsenic’s opinion (his route): who hurt you???? don’t answer that

it’s just, so easy to see that there’s nothing holding him up. that bigass ego is a front, built on the shoddiest infrastructure that WILL tumble down if you hit it in just the right way. i don’t know if he was always like this, being a cute goat probably didn’t help

and yes, he’s fucked up a lot. but at a certain point it feels a lot less like he’s getting what he deserves and more like the universe is just rubbing his nose in it

the further down you go the more there’s stuff that’s fucked up, and i’m trying to work him past this as well as i can - but sometimes i feel like he needs a lot more TLC than i can give.

oh, but the TLC he gives -- it’s intoxicating. kind of overwhelming. he kisses like he’s starving and you’re the only food for miles, he holds you like he expects you to vanish if he lets go -- which i guess, considering some stuff, he probably does

the sounds he makes when you touch him, no matter where it is, he can’t get enough of it and he makes sure you know that. he can’t get enough of me. i’m everything to him and i don’t know how to feel about that
