Greetings to the fellow Bachelor from this ask. villainkinconfessions (dot) tumblr (dot) com (slash) post/752105191859519488

Your reaction to the town was understandable. They are close-minded, wretched people. You don't deserve to be manipulated and hated by everyone. You were doing your best, and it mattered.

In my timeline, the Changeling was an adult. She seduced me and appealed to my lack of belief in magic. Her blood had no plague, so I told others she was not the carrier. She used me to get a standing in the Town. She also explained to me the other Utopians' manipulations, and how must I best circumvent them. I used her to get a steady amount of supplies - after all, she was a thief.

The Changeling was one of the few people in Town who wouldn't misgender me (the Haruspex, Ravel, Grief, Rubin, and Stamatins didn't either). I was a six-foot tall genderfluid trans woman with no HRT (I never had time for it!) - I had been using the town as an experimental ground for gender expression - and people would not only loathe me for my emergency power, think of me as heartless for quarantining them away from their families, blaming me for the arsonists' and orderlies' murder-happy management, and call me shit just because I'm trans, I'm from the Capital, I dress "weird".

Later, the Changeling manipulated me into her plan, which would preserve the Tower. I healed her bound. She sacrificed most of it. And just when I wanted to say "what the fuck?", she was hailed as a hero and accused me of baseless crimes. People would hunt me down in the streets. Vendors would refuse to sell to me. And so on, and so forth.

The Haruspex and Lara Ravel had a crush on me. I didn't indulge them. I had no empathy, and multiple partners (in Thanatica or otherwise) had broken up with me because I was "heartless" and "married only to work". In this new body, maybe I could consider using the term aro-spec.

I decided to use the people Changeling sacrificed every year for my experiments. I asked Rubin to help me - he obliged. Enthusiastically. He wanted a second chance as a doctor after failing Isidor. the Haruspex was disgusted with my actions and disrespect for his culture - I was cutting into bodies and hooking them into machines. Thanatica would live on. It did live on. Eventually, people could control the rate in which they aged and whether they died. Many didn't die anymore. Lara pledged to serve me in my crusade against Death and let me be married to my work. This is a much better arrangement than my feeble attempts on romance with Artemy and Clara.

I won. No more plague, no more sacrifices. I, the clown villain doll, the scary Capital snake, the evil trans doctor, WON!

Screw this world for saying that the Bachelor's victory is the Worst Ending. I was victorious against my birth assignment and now victorious against mortality. The Powers That Be can't destroy my laboratory because my findings have been spread around the world. The Changeling can say it's unfair and wrong and "not how it's supposed to be" and it doesn't change the fact that I, Bachelor M. Dankovskaya, have steered the story well past 10 years and counting. The Utopians lavished me and my new laboratory with all my needs. I deserve to rest on my laurels now.

[dick-chugger]

I guess you have to admire the fucking balls some people in Pathologic have, telling Artemy to his face that they think Khatanghe are suspicious and awful. Like they HAVE to know right?

I didn't want to kill everyone. I was supposed to save everyone. Everyone hated me. I could hear their whispers... their staring eyes... but I tried to do what was best for them. Why couldn't they see I was only doing what was best for them? My words had been twisted beyond my own and I had been just as misled as everyone else. I hate how she used me. How Everyone used me. After losing everyone I cared about, why should I have tried to save any of it? They never cared about me, why should I care about them? So what, I destroyed that entire wretched town. They were all dead to begin with. It was the only choice to make in the end. (The Bachelor, Pathologic)

the pathologic Kin is largely fictionalized with a created language that takes from multiple sources to be its own, a cosmogony & spirituality that does not correlate to the faiths (mostly Tengrist & Buddhist) practiced by the peoples it takes inspirations from, has customs, mores and roles invented for the purposes of the game, and even just a style of dress that does not resemble any of these peoples', but it is fascinating looking into specifically to me the sigils and see where they come from... watch this:

P2 Layers glyphs take from the mongolian script:

while the in-game words for Blood, Bones and Nerves are mongolian directly, it is interesting to note that their glyphs do not have a phonetic affiliation to the words (ex. the "Yas" layer of Bones having for glyph the equivalent of the letter F, the "Medrel" layer of Nerves having a glyph the equivalent of the letter È,...)

the leatherworks on the Kayura models', with their uses of angles and extending lines, remind me of the Phags Pa Script (used for Tibetan, Mongolian, Chineses, Uyghur language, and others)

some of the sigils also look either in part or fully inspired by Phags Pa script letters...

some look closer to the mongolian or vagindra (buryat) script

looking at the Herb Brides & their concept art, we can see bodypainting that looks like vertical buryat or mongolian script (oh hi (crossed out: Mark) Phags Pa script):

shaped and reshaped...
