Elriccest Propaganda (Incest)

"Siblings so Codependent… Who else literally gave an arm and a leg to bind his brother's soul into a suit of armor so he didn't have to lose his only living blood relative (to their knowledge)? And Al was always willing to reciprocate to get Ed's arm and leg back. Inseparable."

Miki x Kozue Propaganda (Incest - Twincest, Possessive Dynamic, Jealousy, Co-dependant Dynamic)

"RGU is a series that explores NUMEROUS complex, problematic and fascinating dynamics. Miki and Kozue are twins who were inseparable during childhood, and who were musical prodigies. Having grown apart, they both desperately yearn for the innocence of their childhood time together yet also struggle with the new confusing feelings of growing up. Miki looks for a new musical partner, while Kozue pursues multiple sexual endeavours in order to prove she's more mature than her brother- but both ultimately resent and crave the other."

Studcoms Propaganda (Toxic Dynamic)

"Steban and Ulixes are comrades as student communists, which is romantic. However, Steban has a martyr complex -- he fantasizes about being a victim of police violence and brutality in the name of The Revolution. Ulixes, on the other hand, is a propagandist who craves the opportunity to do horrifying violence against those who he deems enemies of The Revolution.

And what love can be more toxic, than the love of the revolutionary for the eager martyr <3"

(x)

some breadcrumbs of lore. Steban and Ulixes have one communist teacher, and their university is east of the river.

(Also my bet is on Sulisław being one of the Fortress Accident communists)

[permian-tropos]

whoa i am intrigued by what you said about steban thinking kim and harry are together when talking about suzerainty! can you post the fayde excerpt of that? i want to devour this information but cannot find it

what I posted basically was the excerpt, here is the link so you can noodle around (x) and here is an extended version of that particular path of conversation

STEBAN, THE STUDENT COMMUNIST - "... but then my issue with these historical cube-pushers is that they offer the *illusion* of subjectivity even as they reinscribe the logic of colonialism itself..."

STEBAN, THE STUDENT COMMUNIST - "... though I'd love to hear your take on it."

YOU - "For me, games are mostly about spending time with a partner."

[variable check to see if Kim likes you, and to see if you lost the Suzerainty match]

KIM KITSURAGI - "He's only saying that because he *likes* getting thrashed like a schoolboy."

STEBAN, THE STUDENT COMMUNIST - "Listen, this is a forward-thinking group. It's entirely your business, of course."

STEBAN, THE STUDENT COMMUNIST - "Anyway, we also enjoy a good board game every once in a while. The other week Ulixes and I tried this new one where everyone is competing to manage their own Zone of Ecological Catastrophe. You should see the components."

ECHO MAKER - "The irradiated waste tokens have this great metallic ochre sheen."

ok compilation of fucky supra-natural happenings i dreamt up re: the student communists:

[I don't know what happens in sacred and terrible air but i know that it is tragic and apocalyptic so take this with a grain of magical-realism salt. I'm basing this on the theory that plasm (revolution's effect on universal laws of physics and normality) is indeed a Real Thing™ in Elysium, and that it can manifest in certain people as Innocentic-type traits... Which could also be interpreted as 'Magpie' abilities in Entroponetic study. I'm just playing around with the idea that Le Retour generates a fuckload of plasm and it lands in the communist boys. Don't think about it too hard.]

Around large concentrations of plasm:

Steban’s hands and heart glow. Ulixes’ throat and eyes glow. It's mostly low-level light - unnoticeable on bright days, but in darkness it's pretty obvious. I'm imagining the veins of those organs specifically lighting up like an X-ray.

Rarely, Steban levitates/floats when there's lots of plasm about. It's only a centimeter or two at most off the ground but he freaked out when it happened the first time. Now, he just enjoys floating around like he's ice-skating until it stops. For him, there's an underlying feeling of being 'pulled upwards' when it happens - a gravitational sensation.

Steban can ‘get on someone’s wavelength’ á la HDB’s Empathy skill. Short bursts of human-can-opener type insight into what someone else is thinking or feeling.

Ulixes can weigh a load more than he feasibly could. It's especially intense when emotionally distressed - he can crack or could possibly even break through weak flooring. RIP to furniture in his ass' radius.

Ulixes attracts local scavenger wildlife. Unfortunately he hates most of this attention with a burning passion, especially from seagulls and crows trying to steal his fucking groceries.

Ulixes’s canines grow slightly longer than a regular human's, and his eyes+pupils reflect light like a cat. His presence promotes the creation of adrenaline in other people. Being around him for long periods of time can either numb you or make you lowkey stressed.

Oh yeah and they are absolutely Haunted by mazov and nilsen.

3sentence challenge, Uli/Steban, Paths lit by stars

Or: “tfw the incredible violence skill also just so happens to be the apocalyptic visions skill”. Boy’s got high Half Light, let him have his high Half Light. (x)

The stars shine bright on Revachol, tonight the bay is warm and clear in the tumultuous beginning of spring; in Steban's room, their light's long journey ends through the narrow high window and splattered onto a drawn curtain, blank energy, lifeless, indistinct, and the bust of Mazov with the star and antlers remain shadowed behind it.

In that moment, on his eleventh coffee and shaken by a profound terror, Ulixes is filled with the knowledge that what he sees is a symbol and that it is true: "Before the end of the year," he says to the wall, trembling, reciting words that do not feel his own, "a choice will be made by all of mankind, as they come united in abandoning this world like they never were in loving it... this is the final failure... pale light already fills the sky."

"Uli go to sleep," calls Steban's voice from under the sheets, then adds, with the tenderness of an old lover of defeat, "this battle has been lost since before we were born, we carry the torch for for Elysium as it keeps turning, for the future," and he is wrong.

sorry for talking shit. but how is that "complicated ships polls" blog going to disqualify Cooper x Audrey because Audrey is 18 so "its not a minor x adults ship" therefore "its' not problematic", while Audrey is still in high school and there is a big age gap........ but keep Steban x ulixes in when they are just two adult uni students who are the same age. also somehow TenRose is problematic too. you know the canon heterosexual romance in doctor who

Kyuumi Propaganda (Abusive Dynamic, AdultxMinor - Technically?, Species Difference)

"Mami is a fifteen-year-old human girl, with Kyubey being a Very Old alien that takes on a cat-like appearance.

Kyubey’s entire schtick is creating magical girls for the sake of energy, exploiting them and having them sacrifice themselves. He manipulates them by giving them half-truths and then gaslights them by making it feel like their fault for not getting the truth out of him. Mami falls victim to this hardest, genuinely believing him to the point of snapping and killing off all of her friends in certain timelines when she discovers the truth."
