Quarterfinals, Match 1
Tumblr media
Balloon and Suitcase (Suitloon) from Inanimate Insanity vs. John Doe and Arthur Lester (Jarthur) from Malevolent!
Propaganda for Suitloon:
I think of them as queerplatonic, because theyre incredibly close and are pretty much each other's support systems. Balloon is Aromantic (technically canon? one of the creators said he was so im rlly hoping it is canon) so this is NOT a romantic ship. They dont have any romantic interactions, but you can spin every scene how you want. I just think they're in a QPR and are heavily supportive and understanding to each other. (Since like. half the people in the show fucking hate Balloon, and not many people seem to like to let Suitcase speak for herself)
Propaganda for Jarthur:
The inherent intimacy of having a guy (John) inside your (Arthur) head who you don't know the history or goals of but still bond over the atrocities you go through in your shared body. And sometimes he's an arsehole but you know that he wants the best for you and it's so much more than any other relationship they could have and in the end they always have eachother and I'm jealous of a sad British man and the voice in his head. They're friends and each others world and everything and I want what they have. OH DID I MENTION THAT ARTHUR IS FUCKINF BLIND AND JOHN IS HIS ONLY ACCESS TO SIGHT? IT'S BEAUTIFUL. Like John always takes such care to describe their surroundings (no seriously he starts waxing poetic). I mean yh he withholds it sometimes but every door has its issues. Anyways yh I love them and they deserve the world.
They are extremely close, both literally and figuratively. John is inside of Arthur's head, and they often fight in ways that have been referred to by the fans as 'divorce moments' but they still very clearly care about and love each other, in a way that is explicitely non-romantic. Their love is desperate and aching and they're not just friends, but they are definitely not dating, and a LOT of the fandom interprets them as queerplatonic.
Oh, the special kind of affection and friendship that can only bloom between a 1930s private detective and the eldritch entity that ends up possessing his eyes and left arm. 95% of this show is Arthur (the detective) bickering with John (the eldritch entity) like an old married couple, and falling in and out of trust with each other. Despite that they are both fiercely loyal to the other and by the point the podcast is at now they seem to trust each other implicitly - Arthur has to rely on John to guide him since John can see out of the eyes of their body and Arthur can't, but when they fall into an abandoned mine and are reunited (long story) they immediately fall back into that old, trusting rhythm. They share a body and their initial goal in the podcast is to be separated, but by the point we're at now they're not too fussed about it. They're making plans to go out to dinner and the movies. Also, Arthur is aro-coded - there's a big emotional arc that involves him accepting the fact that he never had romantic feelings for his wife, even during the birth of their child or her death, and how that doesn't make him a bad person or diminish the love he felt for that child.
They have fought gods together. Also they're positive plural representation. What is there not to love????

001 Papers Please
001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:
i think the ezic are...like, pretty solidly bad. like the phrasing used in their notes is giving me some...really bad nationalism vibes, and idk if im the only one that tasted that? like yeah sure, secret society that's meant to depose of corrupt governments, who hasn't hoped for something like that, but also? bad things happen when there's a power vacuum, and i cant help but wonder what ezic's end goal is.
m. vonel baby!! sir what the FUCK is your damage! you have fifteen minutes of screentime and i wish you had more. honorable mention goes to calensk, WHAT a GUY. i like how his first thing he says is 'I'm getting a bonus and you're not. I'll split the check.' like!!! my MAN!!! and of course sergiu deserves the world. jorji is my bestie- can i not say 'yes' to this question?
Least Favorite character:
Dari Ludum And Simon Wens Die Challenge
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon):
elisa and sergiu, obvi. dimitrionel is VERY fun, but i personally prefer inspectonel because i am gay. calenspector too, because, again, i am gay. and, i love shae and dimitri in a 'very divorced but still elope every other month' kind of way.
Character I find most attractive:
tossup between vonel and calensk. vonel may be a short king but he's got style for days, and calensk is just my type.
Character I would marry:
half the cast has like. canon relations with eachother or someone else in some way, shape, or form, but canon be damned? calensk probably. hes very much a guy after my own heart. second places is, again, m. vonel, but he's basically arstotzkan secret service so i don't know if he's an eligible bachelor or if he's married to his job.
Character I would be best friends with:
jorji my bestie <3 hes my right hand arm man. my everything. my confidant. my best friend. my silly rabbit.
a random thought:
i like how the entire game is like. yeah its a big downer but there's the ability to do good throughout the whole game. its all grays of various shades, but you have two times you can 'mess up' per day- and sometimes just once is all you need to help keep a couple together, or make sure someone can have access to life saving medicine.
An unpopular opinion:
i think the ezic are...like, pretty solidly bad. like the phrasing used in their notes is giving me some...really bad nationalism vibes, and idk if im the only one that tasted that? like yeah sure, secret society that's meant to depose of corrupt governments, who hasn't hoped for something like that, but also? bad things happen when there's a power vaccum, and i cant help but wonder what ezic's end goal is.
My Canon OTP:
its sergiu and elisa, duh. i always, ALWAYS eat that infraction.
My Non-canon OTP:
inspectronel. ill say once more, and for one final time, i am GAY as FUCK
Most Badass Character:
vonel or dimitri. vonel because he just shows up. no fanfare, no introduction, he's THERE. scared the hell out of me. dimitri because he's the only guy with a car you see the entire game, and like. i feel something abt that.
Most Epic Villain:
i mean, who counts? the entrants? the circumstances themselves?? i personally liked the sequence where an undercover moi agent was being followed by an impostor and you had to give them fake documents. i thought that was fun
Pairing I am not a fan of:
i mean im not really a big ship boy here. i guess, inspectormitri? not sure you should get with your boss if he treats you Like That
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another):
none! i think theyre all good
Favourite Friendship:
jorji and the inspector, hands down. like. hes so persistent, and he doesnt have any ill will against you if you let him in when his papers arent fraudulent. he seems friendly.
Character I most identify with:
i mean, we play as the inspector. so i think that would be the correct answer in general.
Character I wish I could be:
i wanna be the guy who writes the truth of arstotzka papers. shit must be wild on the daily in that office
