Okay here’s the post I talked about from that last reblog!

This also goes beyond ultimatums and conversations - people will twist themselves into knots justifying behaviors and actions all on their own without any input from the important outside source. A misguided sense of noble self-sacrifice when not ever mentioned out loud is just, plainly, unwarranted and stupid. Bearing with something you don’t want to do for another person is not automatically a favor they owe you later down the line, especially if they didn’t know you were doing that. “I went to these things even though I didn’t want to and you don’t even appreciate it even though I never mentioned it” make it make sense!

As someone who does sometimes go to events or do things I don’t necessarily want to do when invited, that’s automatically on me and that’s a choice I make based on my energy levels. A lot of the time I go because I know I don’t want to in the moment but will probably enjoy myself later. Even if I don’t? That’s not on the other person, that’s not a future argument I win. People who make little balance ledgers of this stuff must be exhausted. We have got to stop blaming and trying to hold other people accountable for our sometimes admittedly rough feelings. You need to engage in emotional regulation and own up to your own mistakes that make you feel like shit instead of putting it on others ‘for putting you in the place to make that decision’.

It’s not noble self-sacrifice to remain quiet as discontent bubbles up without communicating it. It’s just boxing with shadows, and you are not going to win.

man getting caught up on the helldivers news is so funny. the community is whining really really hard at the balancing patch. have you ever played a game that gets balance updates? Do you know what happens to games that don't get balance updates?

You always say Chrollo has meticulously thought of every single situation and outcome.

What is something darling could say/ask to make him freeze for a little longer than normal?

there are two potential routes.

the first route is to present him with the pufferfish dilemma,

or the far less fun route which is hitting him with a classic, "I think we should see other people."

any breakup attempts would not be well-received from chrollo, but this one in particular stirs up some negative sentiments. from his perspective, your morals might not perfectly align, but you have this titillating chemistry. he prides himself on his ability to read others, so for him to miss this discontentment in you doesn't bode well. it's a slight loss in power he wants to regain as soon as possible.

then there's the implication that you'd prefer someone else over him. this cuts him to the bone. there's his inherent possessiveness as a thief on the surface, then beneath that, loneliness that takes the form of roots spreading to unknown depths. he feels something for you, a sensation he attributes to the apex of a heist or when he gets his hands on a special curio. those sensations peak and fade. adrenaline wears off, excitement plateaus...

yes, he does occasionally get a rush from being around you, but what he finds far more fascinating is when he doesn't. when you're both simply reading in the same room, the ambiance that of pages turning rather than sirens and gore squelching. watching you fold laundry into separate piles so your clothes don't get mixed up. when you text him about an awful first date you're overhearing.

chrollo tried analyzing these sensations and came to no world-shattering conclusion. the thought he eventually arrived at is it's just... nice. warm. unassuming.

he can't find that with anyone else. so, his next best solution is to ensure you don't have the opportunity to find it with anyone else either.

okay, but hold on. compare this to Hero's lines in Spectre.

They are most certainly soulmates. No, Nevvey is most certainly not grasping at straws here. That's not the point, though.

Now this is gonna get a tad bit headcanon-y.

But you can see that in Spectre, Hero wanted you to take the blade and slay yourself because he wanted to actually get to do something else after forever. Because he didn't want to be locked up like this; because he wanted to continue with himself; because he wanted to live.

But with Paranoid in Wraith, it's kind of the opposite. I get the feeling that he wanted to believe that if LQ died, then he would just straight-up die. Or at the very least, he was holding out for that possibility. He didn't want any of that to go on anymore. He just straight-up wanted it all to end.

I do believe that Paranoid does truly want to keep LQ safe and alive, but his priority is always escaping from problems, and he wouldn't be above getting genuinely suicidal to do so.

Suicidal Paranoid, guys. Hear me out. Paranoid who hates himself just as much as Contrarian.

My brain is so full of Bees about Post-Shift 2.

It's a fan game that was delayed for 4 years -- by the time it released, fnaf fangames as a whole were not as popular as they had been, & most people in the scene had forgotten about Post-Shift 1, so not a lot of people heard about it/played it.

Worse still is the people who did talk about the game. Pretty unanimously, the consensus was this: this game is the craziest, most insane fnaf fangame. It's overly difficult with mechanics that have no rhyme or reason to them & tutorials that are wordy, unhelpful, & sometimes actively mislead the player, meaning you need to comb through a lot of text only to be misinformed. It's not as infamous as some other fangames, but it definitely was talked about very poorly.

In general, I think most of these criticisms were blown up out of proportion, but I can't really disagree with most people's problems -- it is difficult & wordy, & rather hard to understand. I think, however, that the game is still 1. Really fun, 2. Not a bad game at all, &, most importantly, 3. Is a free fucking game that was clearly a passion project. Most damn fangames never get off the fucking ground when made in groups because the creators will never make a red cent off the thing -- this game was made by one dude for 4 years & delivered to people for free. It didn't ask anything of you except to accept it as a difficult game & to not go in with wild expectations. The dev just wanted to make a game that was rough, but he also wanted to make a game that felt unique & was fun. & It is fun, too, is the damn thing.

knowing now that i have hyperfixations and special interests is very helpful and nice to know, BUT it raises the question “what am i” even more, and i need to shift to a reality immediately where somebody can tell me what the actual fuck i am other than just a silly little guy

Mordecai probably lives in an apartment or something, but my first thought when you brought up the Caves on that post was that he won’t tell us because he’s been living in the Caves the Whole Time. Even tho he’d hate the slime mold.

yeah a Whole Damn House would be a bit much, and probably not as useful for the nightly bootlegging related goings on: see, freckle needing to stand around waiting for a ride before he can go shoot people. whereas mordecai can show up to the maribel hotel on foot, or at least have started out somewhere he could get a cab or whatever....and this is probably the closest to any relevant Living Situation Glimpses

someplace with a bed, and one with an art deco headboard....a modern style, so it's neither Antique nor unfancy enough to have less identifiable stylings at all. like just by guessing surely he lives in some apartment that's unassuming enough to live unassumingly in, with whatever alias, so something large & fancy would be unhelpful....plus if he's gonna be fairly rigorous in his domestic upkeep, it wouldn't really help to have a huge place, even if for the same reasons it wouldn't be too small (or old or otherwise unpleasant; hard no to slime mold, slime, or mold....) and like re: the rotating aliases, maybe he moves places fairly regularly for good measure, been at this like, a decade....tl;dr probably has some apartment/s that's roomy but not huge, nice but not Fancy fancy, at the nexus of practicality, resources, and preferences

but it's important to think about "what if mordecai's been living in the caves the whole time" b/c that's funny lmao
