Something that's always puzzled me a bit is who were the parents who adopted Lister?

We know that his dad was on the wrong side of the law, and I feel like his lifestyle contributed to his death when Lister was six. But that's not the kind of person who adopts a baby.

So I've been thinking about his wife, Lister's mother, who he's never talked about. She must've died when Lister was very young, but she would've been a very positive figure.

I imagine Lister's dad grew up much like Lister did, kind of a little shit and kind of a rebel. He was heading for disaster and disgrace when there came to be a woman. He turned his life around and they got married. They adopted a baby boy and things were fine. Then she died or perhaps left the family, and things were bad. He went back to his old ways and took his son with him. He got himself killed. Maybe from drink, an accident, or maybe he crossed someone he shouldn't've.

It's not at all the typical feel good story of kind-hearted adoptive parents. Because when is Lister ever allowed nice things?

Ah, Shelly. Didn’t expect to get this much attention, did you?

as much as I’d like to feel happy for you, I also feel pity for keeping your hopes up for this long…so I’ll just tell you straight up:

the only reason anybody is interacting with you is because they’re curious about you, but soon they’ll realize there’s nothing else to you than your burning desire to be useful.

although, that hasn’t exactly been very effective for you, has it?

have you noticed how none of your so-called “friends” have even bothered to contact you? that day after day has passed without a single word from one of your fellow toons?

not even Shrimpo, who normally takes every chance he can get to insult anyone and everyone, has even bothered to glance your way.

you’ve had to be the one to take initiative, every time…but that still isn’t enough, is it? because no matter how hard you try to keep the conversation going, they just…have better people to talk with than a living, breathing tool like you.

you know they’re all using you, right? I mean, you have to have realized by now that the only reason anyone keeps you around is because you’re helpful and agreeable enough for them to make you do whatever they don’t want to themselves?

what do you think would happen if they tasked you with something you couldn’t do? if you…failed?

well, simple!

they would toss you aside like the broken tool you are to be forgotten in the darkest corners of a storage closet.

and let’s be honest here; even if you did go missing…

who would even think to look for you?

if you decided to disappear from this blog without a trace, and never speak again…

nobody would even notice you were gone.

W-wha..?

Th-that’s just…that’s just plain mean!!

All of that is just…nonsense! You don’t know what you’re talking about!!! You don’t even know anything about me!!!!

Besides, if I did go missing…I think uh…Teagan would notice-! ah, maybe not, she’s busy all the time, but uh- Astro, maybe?- no, we barely talk. Certainly not Vee..

Come ON, Shelly…THINK…

There has to be someone…

there has to…there has to be…

..

It’s fine! I don’t even know you, anyway, so I’m sorry you had a rough day, but please don’t take it out on me..? Thanks!

that didn’t mean anything at all…their words can’t affect you…come on, Shelly, you’re stronger than this…

you know they’re right, don’t you.

(she didn’t take that well.)

I had a thought, maybe suns isn't the best communicator. a lot of times when he's talking to pebbles he comes off as rude even when he's being genuine and pleading pebbles to talk to him he says stuff like "I should have seen you were too desperate to escape your situation to do things in proper moderation" which comes off as pretty rude which wouldn't make sense for him to do that intentionally when he's trying to calm pebbles down, which i feel might recontextualize his previous comments as him being so direct to the point of not realizing how the way he says it could sound mean to the one he's talking to. Rather than him just being rude to pebs intentionally.

I've said this before but I haven't checked in on vanilla lore in quite a while and this will have a mix of my hc interpretation in it.

I can see Suns being more of an accomplished person than a mentor. Being someone presumably older and more experienced. After all, not all smart people are great teachers. But other people don't know that so people with less experience would look up to you and just see all your accomplishments and hope you can tell them how to get there. Just like Pebbles.

I interpret Suns to be someone who's worked hard for their accomplishments, they set their eyes onto something and they will fight tooth and nail for it. They don't take bullshit, they say what is needed and go, why waste time sugar coating and pampering yourselves when it'll only hold you back from your optimal pursuit?

This is the reality they have accepted and are willing to pay the price for. Unfortunately they are often blind to how willing other people are to accept this same struggle.

To them it comes naturally, accept that the Great Problem is futile at this point and it'll be stupid to continue wasting energy on it. They tell Pebbles this exactly, it is stupid to continue. But that doesn't mean Pebbles would immediately accept the same view. Which you can see by how he was so willing to jump to the potential of a way out via THE golden pearl. Which of course, Suns was blind to.

And often times you don't realize what kind of impact it has on other people until you finally see what happens when people suffer and fail to catch up to you.

Who knows what Gerudo culture or fashion would have evolved into by 'Rule's time but it's nice to think about him getting to experience a bit more of it in another universe... Before BLYGanon sours it for him... Also been thinking about that Great Fairy of the desert...

and here's the final portrait, the one I did of Spy. there's stuff I love about it and stuff I hate, but of the three, I think I might actually try to redraw this one as practice and comparison (and bc he's my little guy).

update: Hiram talked to his mirror self and they're best friends now. don't mind the landscape in ruins around them

The thing is: he always strives towards his Heart's Desire, but there's always something he's not willing to do. He's not willing to relinquish his control over London to the fingerkings, despite his many, many deals with them. He's willing to balance the worst kind of deals if it means circumventing their authority on a larger scale, not allowing them to seep into the city en masse. He plays as red on the Chessboard to spread as much chaos as possible manipulating all parties into destroying each other, backstabbing all those who get in his way, no matter the collateral damage.

[The thing is: he always strives towards his Heart's Desire, but there's always something he's not willing to do. He's willing to relinquish some of his control over London to the fingerkings, to achieve a larger goal. He allows many people to be possessed to strenghten his control over Parabola, trying to balance the collateral damage, just to backstab the fingerkings afterwards. He plays as red on the Chessboard to spread as much chaos as possible to prevent all parties from making progress. But he's not willing to lose a part of himself in the process.]

He always wants to know more, no matter the circumstances, and no matter the cost to himself. He's his reflection, and his reflection is him. They both despise each other's choices, but they both have their goals, no matter what they're willing or unwilling to do to achieve them. They're the same person, and they share a desire. They wish to know more, and so they do. They both play as red on the chessboard, but that's just a means to their ends. They're both the same person with their own reflection.
