#moe lore

[moe-broey]

Also when I make shitposty jokes like that I LOVE taking them Way Too Seriously. Like. Yeah that's funny, but what does it Mean actually, for Freyja to say all that to Moe? Is she propping herself up, rubbing salt in the wounds of someone who could not achieve "goodness" as presented to it, by explicitly stating she was raised as a lotus flower, already a pure and divine being from the start? Who, as you can plainly see, manages to embody that purity and divinity to this day, whereas Moe has failed to? By saying she smells nice like vanilla all the time, does that imply that Moe could stand to have better hygiene habits, or at least is self-conscious of the times it gets forgetful and/or neglectful in that regard? Or at very least is just extremely self-conscious that it sweats a lot when nervous (which is nearly all the damn time)? And when Freyja leaves the beetle for dead in such a specific way, is Moe thinking of and empathizing with the protagonist of Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis?

[rockets-and-raccoons]

A passionately anti-democratic conspiracy theorist who doesn't chew his breakfast so he can conserve his energy in preparation for the impending class war. He's a footballer, but also a capable electrician and knitter. He has an English accent, but he's actually Swiss. He's the hottest guy at Richmond FC.

[torch-the-throne]

Ok but Colin thinking Bumbercatch is the fittest Richmond player makes 100x more sense now. Like my guy was probably musing that he wished Wales could have an independence referendum like Scotland and Bumbercatch told him to take 100 men and a drill and physically disconnect Wales from England under the cover of darkness

circa 2009

There's pandemonium in the Harrington kitchen.

Pandemonium in and of itself isn’t unusual, but this specific instance is.

Nancy and Robin are there (the latter laughing so hard she has tears streaming down her face), along with the whole Harrington family - Steve and Eddie and their three daughters.

Eight-year-old Moe is ranting and raving, twiggy little arms flying through the air. Hazel, who just turned three, is wailing, though her reason for it isn’t clear, and she’s clinging to Steve like a lifeline. Six-year-old Robbie is looking back and forth between Nancy and Steve with a look of disgust on her face.

The reason for the pandemonium: the girls had just learned that their dad used to date their Aunt Nancy.

“Papa, she’s a lesbian,” Moe admonishes Steve (as if he hadn't known that fact for years).

"Who cares about that — he’s her sister!" Robbie exclaims, looking vaguely horrified.

"No he’s not!" Moe fires back.

"Is too! Why else would we call her Aunt Nancy. Papa, tell her Aunt Nancy’s your sister!"

"I could," Steve says, doing his best to ignore Eddie and Robin's continued howls of laughter (and trying to not break, himself), "but…it wouldn’t be true."

"See!" Moe yells proudly, "Papa dated a lesbian!"

"No he didn't!" Robbie argues, "They're making it up. Papa likes boys!"

“No — Papa liked girls too. He likes both.”

For some reason, this makes Hazel cry even harder.

"What’s making you so upset, sweet girl?" Steve asks her.

Hazel raises her head to look at Steve.

“B-but what about Daddy?”

"What about Daddy?"

"Don’t you love him?"

"What??" he exclaims, "Of course I love him!"

"Then how come’d you date someone else?"

Her face crumpled and she was crying again, her little face pressed into the collar of Steve's shirt. He hugged her tight, meeting Eddie's eyes over her mop of blonde curls.

"She's not dating anyone ever," Steve tells him, "Call me a bad parent. I don't care. It's not allowed."

“Sweetheart, Papa didn’t really know me yet when he and Aunt Nancy dated,” Eddie tried to tell his youngest daughter, "We were in school still."

“Nuh-uh,” Robbie cut in unhelpfully, “You said you and Papa went to school together.”

Robin, who’d been halfway to composed, ended up doubled over in laughter again, and even Nancy, who'd been cool as a cucumber while she watched the whole situation unfold, couldn't help a snort.

"Thank you so much for your help, Amelia," Steve sighs.

"Wait 'til you guys hear who else you know that Aunt Nancy dated," Robin says with a wicked grin.

"No!" Steve and Nancy say in unison.

Got any ideas for/info on Moe? He's so interesting. A pure AI in a world of cyborgs/robots who were once human. Does he have an inferiority complex? Does he question his existence? How did he become sentient? Does he regret becoming sentient in any way? How does he deal with all the knowledge he has? Ough...

I’d say he has a mixed opinion on being purely AI.

Unlike most of the cast, who is cyborg/human to robot or a learning AI like Nathaniel, Moe was coded a certain way and was intended to stay that way.

While I don’t know how specifically Moe became sentient (and maybe it’s best we don’t know… lol) I think I know when he became sentient. I’ve also been developing some lore for him since I’ve got this ask.

I know he was originally intended to just be a computer located in the library in that robot factory (the one that makes humans robots) before the downfall of said factory. Since the story has a more vintage setting though, it’s more likely he operated as a database rather than an internet accessing computer.

Then sometime after the shutdown of the company and before the Robo Sleuths find him, he spends at least a decade sitting on a desk in the library alone. It doesn’t seem like a lot, but it seems like it when prior you had been used every single day. Hourly even.

Like I said, sometime during that period, Moe becomes sentient somehow. But considering no one being around to use him, he just sat there in complete silence for nearly ten years. Unable to do anything but watch dust and cobwebs pile on him and ants and spiders gather everywhere. This is also why he is deathly afraid of bugs in the story.

Yes, I gave Moe his own version of The Horrors. He is truly a character now.

Long story short, Robo Sleuths find him, Lou manages to solve the code only employees would know (thankfully), Moe becomes part of the team, etc.

His reaction to cyborgs and humans-turned-robots, as previously stated, is mixed. While he does find them… interesting to say the least, he is also concerned that he, a sentient computer, tends to have stronger emotional reactions than the human robots themselves (and heck, even the actual humans he worked with).

A parallel that kinda connects to this: later the story Moe tells Lois that she reminds him of the employees at the robot factory. Since Lois is, I’m pretty sure, just a clone robot (with a learning AI too), it re enforces the fact that, coincidentally enough, the humans that turn other humans into robots, are pretty robotic in themselves. (Just thought I’d through that out there).

And to answer the other question(s) from the beginning, yes, there are times he hates being sentient. I also think he’s had existential crises too, but they wouldn’t be as intense as some of the other characters (cough. Nathaniel. Cough.) and come from a different place; he simply regrets his existence because he believes he’s “too human” for a plain AI. (The humane AI concept confuses him, and ends up making him question how something like himself could exist… if my words were too jumbled there.)

Final thing, if I didn’t make it too clear through the ten or so paragraphs (dear god), Moe has abandonment issues. Like, BAD abandonment issues.

Thank you for the ask and sorry for not getting to it sooner! As a treat here’s a Moe related thing I’ve been working on:

It’s a Moe expression test! Moespressions? Either way I think he’s very silly here. :)

(Also, I hope this clarifies what I meant by emoticon mouth!!)

Whipped up a quick relationship chart involving my summoner and her five S-supports 🤗💖

Additional notes/ramblings under the cut ✨

This was largely inspired by the recent Forging Bonds event, wherein Charlotte just fucking hates Virion apparently. I think the most exciting aspect of creating a Summoner OC for most people is letting them interact with their favorite characters, but making your favorite characters interact with each other is even more appealing to me. 🥰🥰🥰

As a Certified FEH Pass Subscriber™, Summoner VickyT gets the luxury of choosing five characters to S-rank. Since FEH is technically an isekai, I thought it would be funny to treat Summoner VickyT as an otome/reverse-harem protagonist - she isn't necessarily tied to any one character, but she is courted by many...or something like that. I'm using shoujo manga I've read as a guide. 🙈

Some extra notes on each character:

Lon'qu: One of VickyT's retainers. Warms to the summoner slowly. Respects Yukimura as the one calling the shots. Gets annoyed by Virion's antics but ultimately enjoys his company (even though he would never admit it). Extremely wary of both Anna and Charlotte.

Virion: VickyT's first summon and one of her retainers. Treats Charlotte and Anna like a gentleman would. Simps for the summoner. Plays chess with Yukimura. Becomes (one-sided?) buddies with Lon'qu but maybe also sees him as an obstacle.

Yukimura: VickyT's advisor. Protective of the summoner. Values Lon'qu the most since he's the best fighter. He also enjoys chess time with Virion, especially since Virion's tactics are reminiscent of the ones Yukimura used to employ when he was younger. Is very aware of Charlotte's true personality and strength. Purchases trinkets from Anna, but always negotiates a fair price. He's ultimately the one calling the shots, since he's a better tactician than the summoner.

Anna: Works alongside VickyT managing the finances for the Order of Heroes. Anna gets along very well with Charlotte. She wants to try to sell Lon'qu a potion to help with his fear of women, but AS a woman hasn't figured out how to approach him to initiate the sale. Easily scams Virion.

Charlotte: Additional bodyguard to VickyT. Charlotte hates Virion's guts. She has tried to court Lon'qu but failed on account of Lon'qu being Lon'qu. She gives up the pursuit when she realizes Lon'qu is just a regular swordsman anyway (even if he DID become a Khan someday, he'd still have to compete with another Khan for power eventually). She avoids Yukimura since he discovered her secret strength.

boiling one up while my gf plays battlebit

I was thinking about these species swapped lab rats designs again. What if they switched around naming conventions too :]

Ramblings under the cut <3

So to be clear, the details that get swapped:

From Moe - living cartoon, has some short, old-fashioned name

From Ollie - genetically-altered human, named after flower/plant

From Rat - demon from hell, uses scientific animal name 👍

So we have swap one:

Moe -> Aster- Human given toon powers via science, only a partial success. Wears a plastic cat mask and can never keep their shoes tied. The cartoon violence is a little more unsettling when they still look human.

Ollie -> Insecta- A demon of envy working under Beelzebub, very proud of her work. Commands an army of little demon bugs. Secretly very fond of human things, but she swears she's totally not staying up here.

Rat -> Dick- Cartoon mascot that came to life as part of some experiment in the 20s, broke out of containment to become a Real Boy. Like if mickey mouse had a pinocchio arc that involved naming himself a swear. Tends to drip ink.

And swap two:

Moe -> Felis- A cat-like imp with supposedly "no alignment", escaped from Hell and having a hard time blending in with humans. Trying to be a nice little guy, but sadly they are tall and scary. Spikes at the end of their tail may be poisonous.

Ollie -> Olive- Cartoon bug person created in a lab accident (i want to say spiderman-style, "bitten by a radioactive cockroach", but idk how that'd work ><). SO much stronger than she looks, will throw an entire car at you. Extra set of arms tucked under sweater.

Rat -> Thyme- Test subject with a little bit of rat DNA in him. Got disease-controlling powers out of it, but it turns out the human body doesn't handle that well. No one can tell when you're sleeping if you're always wearing sunglasses.

Now, the fun part about the labs' inter-dimensional bullshit is that canonically these characters could show up in the lab. Not that I'd actually pull some comic book "fighting alternate universe selves" thing. Unless I really run out of ideas. But it's an option!

Moe, or known as Maurice, is the first Virginian to leave Vriginia to go ‘Earth’ or ‘EarthWorld’ as called by Virginians themselves. Although, He deeply regretted this decision but it is too late to go back now. He likes living in Earth, Where there is little magic and more of conflict and mistrust. He settled alone in a nice cabin in Tongass forest in Southeast Alaska.

[moe-broey]

One day. I will be able to find the words. To explain what the difference is between Lif and Mani. There is a Core Difference between them. Of what they Are. Today apparently is NOT that day though.

IKE EVELAND

a quiet campus library near exams season

you can feel how stressed out the students are in the library, yet there seems to be this air of serenity still

a dark alleyway in an otherwise dazzling street at night

neon signs, cigarette smoke and whistling all masking away the darkness within the city's brilliant lights
