Cyn

Fandom: Murder Drones Age Rating: Adult Rated (The amount of gore and body-horror in it I'm going to have it this rating even if there's nothing sexually explicit) Themes: Sci-Fi, Comedy, Mystery, Adventure, Horror, Body-Horror, Eldritch Horror, Eldritch, Tragedy, Genocide, Blood, Death, Gore, Intense Gore, Torture, Irredeemable Character, No Fantasy or Magic (Sci-Fi/Eldritch/Mutant AUs are fine) Triggers: I won't actively pursue things like mouth or eye gore without asking. There are themes of sapiovore in the consumption of other beings, robot's cores or 'cannibalism' if that bothers you. Portrayal: Fanon Continuation. This character is the continuation of the Series Finale as the heavy spoiler character known as 'Cyn'. How could that be you ask? Well, that's part of the mystery to pursue with Cyn, that they're back and seem... different or even off to how they originally were before being controlled by the Absolute Solver. The true mystery of this character is available by Murder Drone rpers by request, I suggest HIGHLY if we're going to ship this character that you read it, as I don't want to rug-pull you or weird you out. But I assure you, this is all using canon, unknown/unconfirmed fates and the most reasonable, realistic way I could think of in continuing Cyn going forward. Summary: -A heavily mystery aligned character at first. Currently being built-up to a few plot-points that are free to pursue with me. Or if later in interacting with me? We can pursue past plot-points, I don't mind. -Mutates and evolves to compliment your character's fighting style or to fight them. -Is a supervillain. -Will not be redeemed, but in a way you don't expect. -If you are not satisfied with what's linked or unsure of my direction? Spoiler bios doc is available on request if a Murder Drones rper or if I like you. -The same but highly different as the original Cyn, it's up to you discover the mystery as to why, along with plotting. The Cyn within Uzi's tail still exists, so it brings more questions than answers. -Canon Cyn pre-defeat is available on request as their end-game look. -Ship Safe Post-Cyn Defeat. This character and the character involved they impersonate with Cyn are both adults and more can be found here explaining it: >Ship Doc Here< -Canon Characters Safe to Ship with from the main caste: J, V, and Uzi. And there's a good reason why it's possible considering what I'm doing with my fanon continuation? If you're curious, ask for the spoiler doc.

small comfort

[stereotypicaljewishmother]

To every Jew today, please remember that while this is a mourning, do not make yourself feel survival guilt. Please remember that you are a person. That you are allowed to feel both sad and live an everyday life. We carry the lost with us as we live, not as we rot.

Please remember, that their spirits fly joyful and free, living forever in the heart of every jew across the land and sea.

One thing i do think about (in regard to both the book and the show) is how it would make so much sense for Percy to know a startling amount of history. Like obviously we know he’s not the most academically inclined but i like to imagine that when it came to history class he was always freakishly good at it—like if they were at a WW2 museum listening to some audio play over a display documenting the Pacific War how Percy would just know what ships went where, how he would be looking at the uniforms in the glass cases and recognize some of the names even though he has no idea why.

And it’s all because water has memory.

He knows these sailors, these ships, these niche events that the history books scarcely even cover because he’s the son of the sea. He doesn’t have to go out of his way to try and learn the timeline of things or the details of certain historical events because he just knows them subconsciously because the water remembers it all.

Tfw your creative project turns out to be an elaborate pre-emptive commemoration of an inevitable grief so profound that it has already changed you as a person 😔

(I read @loosingmoreletters's garden fic and I'll never ever be the same)

[a-a-a-anon]

absolutely fascinated by young dee who is criminally under-discussed so here is my dissertation on what happened in her college years (ft. dr. gainer, setting her roommate on fire, being institutionalized)/my idea for a fic that I will almost certainly never write/my way too serious take on a few throwaway dee lore lines

timeline background: we know that dee majored in psychology ('charlie got molested') and got "three fourths" of the way in (meanwhile dennis finished his psych minor.) assuming this was a four year program, I'm gonna guess that in her third year she got institutionalized and most likely had to drop out ('gun fever too: still hot'.) we also know that she had her back brace until she was twenty ('underage drinking'), so I'm guessing that means she got her back brace off in her third year.

we know that dennis fancied himself a psychologist since he was young, but I think dee did too. in particular I think she was wary and interested in her brother's psychology; she seems very aware of his psychopathy and bpd in 'making dennis reynolds a murderer' and 'psycho pete returns.' in my head she's been interested in dennis' psychology since they were kids and she saw him snapping crows necks. so instead of forcing her way into acting school, she studied psychology to better understand her brother (and also deep down, herself, who is very much the other side of the same fucked up coin.) it also meant she could tell herself she could study her characters even better when she became an actress.

i think she put in (her version of) genuine academic effort to get in, fuelled kind of by spite (remember the way she studied that thick medical book in 'hero or hate crime' or her very quick math in 'boggs: ladies reboot'). she studies books and gets cricket to quiz her and she still fails to get into penn. but frank always pitied her (i think she was his favorite of the twins-remember "let your sister into the gang", "that's my girl!", "i'm sorry the grift didn't work out, sweetie") so he shells out cash to get her in, but also to get her away from home so he has to deal with her even less.

dennis wants to do anything dee does but better and he wants to keep her close by (to watch her crash and burn, and also because he's weirdly possessive-see 'the gang broke dee' "i'm your select!"). and obviously he's barbara's favorite. so barbara gives him money to get in too. she also gets him into a frat and pays for his classes and his rent and everything he needs. dee has to live in a dumpy dorm with a female roommate.

but college presents dee a chance to moult her previous place in life where she was known as a monster (remember how insistent she was that "people can change!" in 'franks pretty woman'. I think dees always wanted to believe she can shed that feeling she's inferior, but she never has). in my head her female roommate is basically normal-has real friends of her own, mentally stable, attractive-which is exactly what dee craves. dee wants to be popular and well liked and she wants to infiltrate her roommates life, imitate her, be in the Cool group. and she places all her hopes on a friendship with the roommate but dee has never navigated real female friendships before, not with someone like her. deep down she also wishes she found what dennis found in mac, whatever it was, because ever since dennis met mac he's never been as close to her. and i do think dee is some flavor of queer. and the roommate is well liked in the way that dee admires and envies. so there is that blurriness between wanting to be her and wanting to be with her. in my head her roommate looks like the woman from dee's fantasy in 'the gang saves the day' (and they both represent that promise of escape from dee's shitty life).

dee is so desperate for the roommates approval and her love and her life that she goes insane, copying and flattering and competing with her. ever the shitty actress, she tries to emulate her, but comes off as manic and creepy. and maybe her roommate is nice enough to not completely shun her, recognizing that she's struggling. maybe in dees mind they actually are becoming friends when her roommate asks things like "are you okay?"

and dee has to talk about her plan with dennis because he's the only person who would Get It. and she makes it sound like it's almost working. dennis feels jealous and worried and threatened that maybe dee might actually be seen as normal, especially when she gets her back brace off in the third year. so dennis fucks her roommate, more of a show that he owns and controls each and every pathetic part of dee’s life than anything else. and so that dee knows she'll never be as good as him, she'll never as easily charm people as dennis does. (or at least he tells her he does).

to prove that To Someone dee is Good Enough, and so desperate for attention, dee (who's been groomed all this time) enters a sexual relationship with her professor dr. gainer. she tells herself she has the power in it, that she seduced him ("he didn't molest me. i had sex with him 'cause i wanted to.") and she has a mental break, because the thing she told herself held her back from being loved (her back brace) is finally gone by now and yet she still feels like a monster, and the only scrap of "love" she can get is from her professor.

and then she can't take the fact that she can steal her roommates clothes, can emulate her sexual prowess (in dee's own fucked up, delusional way), and still neither be well liked like her nor be loved by her. so maybe dee will always be a monster. so dee tried to burn her roommate in her bed, because she represented the promise of change and popularity, and that promise was a lie and dee's effort was for nothing. and she's institutionalized.

and i think there was kind of a falling out between the twins and their parents, because barbara wants to abandon dee but dennis can't help but visit her. and frank doesn't even step foot in a place that reminds him of his traumatic childhood, and avoids dee even more than he used to because she is his childhood mirror image. so the family becomes even more fractured and estranged.

and maybe dee becomes medicated and slowly crawls her way halfway to normal by the first season (her acting classes are so well-adjusted, taking part in healthy hobbies of her!). until her father comes back into her life and everything falls apart <3

side note, even though dee is crushingly lonely-"I just got a cat 'cause I wanted something to hang out with. I don't have, you know, a roommate or anything, and I don't really have anyone to talk to..."-AND she struggles to pay rent whenever frank cuts her off, i hc that she refused to ever get a roommate in particular female roommate again after this because both her internalized misogyny got worse and she was afraid of what would happen (what she would do) again.

i think grief should deform and decay a person until they become unrecognisable to the beloved should they ever come back
