I miss him.....

[evilherehotel]

one is a very interesting character to me. with most of the lore still up in the air as of the time this is written, it's hard to be sure who exactly she is; or, who she was. today, i want to take a closer look at what we have her character and try to figure out what that "was" could've looked like.

first, i'll start with what we know.

above all else, one is controlling. whether that be in a literal sense, when one influences the world and events around her, or in an emotional sense, when it comes to manipulating others in order to get them to agree to her deals.

in tpot 13, she tells basketball that something they have in common is not liking when things don't go their way. this makes sense for one; every little thing she does is planned, prepared, controlled. she knows the steps people will take before they even take them, she knows every move she needs to make to get under people's skin, and she knows how to make everything go according to plan.

but what about when it doesn't?

in tpot 17, it's as though that control slips. things don't go her way. she isn't nearly as put-together, nor is she calculative or patient enough to even try putting up her persona and coaxing donut in the same way she has with her other signatories. her room seems to reflect her state of mind, scattered and disorganized. she's not stable enough to think of a way to convince him, or even think to hold him down, and her lack of control in the situation gives donut more free will, the ability to reject her deal, and, more importantly, the ability to fight back.

this act is something so spontaneous, so unpredictable, that it causes one to snap and immediately try to grab this control back. she becomes blinded by rage and attacks him, yet her scare tactic only shows more of her weakness: one can't handle feeling powerless.

although she's stronger than donut and was more than willing to show him that, her behavior also seems to stem from a point of insecurity. being disobeyed, treated not as an all-powerful being but instead an equal - or even a lesser - is her breaking point. obviously anybody would be mad over getting kicked, but it's clear something deeper must've been triggered in one in order to get her that manically angry.

where did this need for control come from? how does this tie into her past?

to know this, we should first look at another key detail of her character: her deals.

on first glance, one's signatories don't have much in common. they're easy targets, people with weaknesses that one can easily find and exploit, with not much other correlation. but upon closer inspection, a pattern makes itself clear in every single person that one took into her room.

when fanny joined death pact again, she was taught to abandon her own beliefs and objectives and instead prioritize preventing death. for a while, she obliges by this, even as it causes them to lose challenges and causes her friends to drop out of the game like flies, until she decides she has enough of it and rebels against the others and their beliefs.

ice cube was used as a pawn of sorts by freesmart, a replacement for members that were held to more respect and value than her. her and the others always did what they were told for the alliance, and when she eventually splits off from freesmart, she is almost immediately coddled and controlled by book, still completely unable to speak or think for herself before she eventually snaps at book and leaves altogether.

basketball was completely complacent in bfb, her only feature outside of her loyalty to 8-ball being her empathy for others. this shines through in tpot when, even despite their differences in personality or team, basketball looks out for others more than herself, but nobody else listens to her when she tries to voice the problems she's seeing. this complete disregard for basketball and what she cares about is what causes a downward spiral of events beyond anybody's control.

gaty and two became attached to eachother very quickly, becoming almost codependent in a sense. gaty gives everything she has to two, and her willingness to stay in the hotel with them, to keep them happy - their willingness to keep her there because of their attachment - only puts her in more danger, and ends in them being separated for good.

it's stated outright by one that donut puts others over himself, even people like pencil and their mess of a team. he chooses to be selfless, a voice of reason, a leader that holds the team together despite the chaos it always brings in its wake.

her deals that weren't shown to us onscreen tie into this as well:

bomby, since his debut on bfdi, has been used as a weapon or tool by all of the people around him, mistreated and hurt and never taken seriously despite the fact that he tries to be strong and independent in the later seasons.

bell's privacy is treated as a joke by both the narrative and the others, and struggles to be left alone without help, help that more often than not isn't provided to her.

needle spent so much of her time in bfdia trying to appease others, which led to her being easy to take advantage of. she literally played on two teams at the same time in order to make everyone happy with her, but she eventually decided that she was tired of being used and left these groups, turning against them and deciding to win for herself.

barf bag's autonomy being tampered with started an apocalypse that changed the way she viewed herself and caused her to avoid her team for a brief period of time because she didn't want to be seen as a monster. in that same episode, her nightmare involved people doing things that she couldn't control and influencing her in ways that she couldn't stop.

what do you notice about all of these characters? all of them were overshadowed by others, either by prioritizing them over themselves or by being taken advantage of. all of them want to be recognized, respected, and heard, and despite that, all of them lacked one thing: control. if they wanted control in their lives, they'd have to fight for it, if they wanted power in their lives, they'd have to snap to get people to see that they deserved it. and if that weren't the case, the world around them would snap for them.

one seems to be very, very familiar with this kind of person. familiar enough for them to be her only targets, familiar enough for her to know exactly what to give them and exactly what they want to hear, familiar enough to suggest that this kind of person is much closer to her than just a means to executing her plan.

familiar enough that it could also very well suggest that this kind of person was one herself.

now, we really have no idea what one's past looked like, but we do have a crucial detail given to us by six in tpot 17: she was supposed to be gone.

this implies that one must've done something, something so bad that it made the other algebraliens decide to get rid of her for good. could this have been something ongoing until they decided enough was enough, or was it something bigger than that? had one, perhaps, snapped, the same way we saw her do when she was tested in tpot 17, the same way we saw multiple of her signatories do when they were tired of being pushed aside and looked down on?

in tpot 13, one expresses that she does have power, "but not enough." while this could easily be read in reference to her plan, it also hints at how she looks at herself: her power is not enough. one is not enough.

she needs two's power because she can't reach her goal without it. she needs to become something bigger, something more, in order for her to feel like that's enough for her. being obeyed and looked up to by her victims makes her feel powerful, like she's more, like she's enough, having constant control makes her feel like she's enough, having everything she wants handed to her makes her feel like she's enough, because maybe, she never had that.

maybe, one was just like her targets, selfless and almost complacent at times, observant enough to spot the issues others were having, even if she was the only person who did, even if none of the others took her seriously, even if they pitied her, treated her as a lesser, and acted as though she had no power in her own life.

and all of that lasted until she decided that everyone deserved to be a little selfish - it's only fair.

she became tired of giving herself and not getting anything back. she became tired of being looked down on, tired of not having control - all one wanted was control for once, and she would get that whether they liked it or not.

and that frustration was enough to make one snap and do something that earned her imprisonment in the moon, which only served as a painful and enraging reminder of how they saw her.

she was going to get out, and she was going to make sure that nobody ever looked down on her again.

for now, this is all theories, and it's a bit rough, but i appreciate you guys for sticking around this long !! lets see how well these theories hold up.. if they do.. at all.. um

reading a fic and they have a canonically repressed character say something directly and proudly

[voidingintotheshout]

Due to me feeling really awful today. It looks like my mask that I used to shield the world from my autistic self just fell and broke, and I don’t have one now, so I’m feeling really alone because I “can’t” talk to anybody because I won’t seem “normal”. So after processing this, I’ve been spending a lot of time in my journal because it’s like that “I consent, I consent, I don’t” meme regarding constantly masking my autism. My masked self consented to being the public face of me and my friends and family consented to engaging in that version of me but I forgot to check in on my unmasked self on how it feels being constantly hidden and treated as shameful.

I feel like it’s really important while my mask is still growing back that I check in with that old version of myself and I look into what it needs and what it wants and spend some time getting to know it so that in the future there isn’t such a huge gulf between the version of me that everyone knows because of masking and the more authentic version of myself that doesn’t have that mask and doesn’t want to politely listen to a 10 minute story he doesn’t care about or wants to insist on playing the game that it wants to play instead of rolling over and going along with the group during my own birthday to be agreeable.

Trying to get to know this version of myself (the unmasked one) that I have been treating as a rough draft of my identity instead of as something I am, is a tricky thing. I’m tagging the following person because I feel like they might have someone comments on constant masking as imposter syndrome. Like, where is the line between etiquette/politeness and masking?

pspspsps man biter

Nikto wants you to bite him until he bleeds, until he scars. It makes looking at his body easier when he sees you over his past

😭😭😭 am i a cat to you or something (well i mean… you’re not wrong per se…)

anyway

nikto was reborn when he met you. he was baptized twice in his life; once when he was born and now— body littered in bite marks. dripping with his crimson blood, and your spit, soothing, laving over the bite marks you left behind.

you cleanse him, them— they think. a sinner so graciously absolved of their crimes by you. his light, his love. he no longer dedicates his life to a god that doesn’t hear him. why would they believe in one that won’t listen, that won’t answer?

god did not heed him in his time of need.

so, why devote himself to a god that does not care, when he has you to turn to? he finds salvation, absolution, freedom when prostrated at the altar of your love. you can do whatever to him, and he’d welcome it. reshape this sinner into a vessel worthy of your love, destroy him and piece him back anew, cleansed, pure.

each sting of your bites are bliss, each wave of pain that washes over him feels like another sin purged.

he used to be disgusted when he looked in the mirror. was he even human anymore? the lines between humanity and mere tool seemed to blur more and more everyday, until even nikto couldn't make sense of it. where did his humanity begin? where did it end? did it ever even exist at all?

what use was there in trying to make heads or tails of such things? tools of war did not need to think after all. he was meant to be used and discarded, that was all.

but with you. and the visible gifts you so graciously leave him, he feels it a little easier to stare at his reflection for longer. you cover up the unslightly marks of his past, more and more and more until you are all he can see. if he may be so bold, he quite likes the sight of your claim on him.

you want him. of all people, of all things in the world-- you want this horrid half-broken shell of a man. he's learned not to question such miracles, as seldom as they are.

instead he'll savor your love and your light, forever more.

what is CGA ?

CGA is a prestigious, four year, all-girls school that teaches everything about magic and the enchanted. It has six dorms that follow each of 6 princesses or notable figures in their world, being..

Vitruma (The dorm that follows cinderella. They are essentially the goody two shoes of CGA and are the "default" house, usually seen as basic or ordinary.)

Salasudhara (The dorm that follows Jasmine. Those placed in Salasudhara are usually very opinionated and stubborn, standing up for whats right no matter the consequences they may face.)

Belleaubriller (They follow after Belle. Students sorted into Belleaubriller are focused on being as beautiful on the inside as much as they are out. They are seen as like the older sisters of CGA.)

Vineira (Dorm that follows Tiana. They follow Tianas spirit of working hard to achieve what they want and do not believe in shortcuts.)

Aquahavtia (The dorm that follows after Ariel. They enjoy partying and having tons of fun, earning the name of party animals from the other dorms.)

Wonderlyft (The dorm that follows Alice. They are usually eccentric and a bit doozy in the mind, having the most unique of mindsets with some enjoyment of getting into trouble.)

The school is located in the Eunoian Isles, a place that is specifically known for the high density of magical energy that soars through the very soil.

CGA was originally made to be a safehaven from negative magical energy that plagued the lands of Saorsia (The continent they are on) stirring up nothing but curses, wars, and massacres all around. People were hypnotized, kidnapped by societies that "worshipped" the dark energy that harmed all, and even killed in this uproar. Magicians were especially exposed to getting harmed. Where CGA comes into the equation is when the light magic that surrounded the Eunoian Isles created a natural fighting force against the dark magic, cancelling it out and thus creating a safehaven for those who practiced magic freely without the fear of being taken over by dark magic. It then evolved to become an all girls school (because why not) for any girl who wanted to practice magic.

Medication side effects and interaction is so fun it's like a fucked up game of would you rather like yay you can "not be in pain and have a clear mind", you can "keep your blood inside your body" and you can "breathe" but you can't have all three!

Fine, screw you ig /lh

What's the most purely gut wrenching thing you can make of Tim/Masky and Brian/Hoodie?

I want you to make me regret watching the series out of guilt and shame.

-Bacon ♡

Do not challenge me..

I'm gonna write it down, but it's something I want to draw at one point -

Basically, the worst part about their relationship throughout the series is the way Brian loses care for Tim. He doesn't care if he has to hurt him, he WATCHES HIM as he hurts. He does it in order to get Masky out because Masky knows what's going on, there's higher chances to WIN if Masky comes with him, by choice or by force? He just doesn't care. He needs him, he wants him, he's dragging him out no matter what he has to do, even if he's literally killing TIM in the process.

The way Brian loses himself, his priorities, his love and care until there's just the main objective in his broken mind. No matter what he has to do, no matter who he has to hurt to get there - he just doesn't care. He doesn't want Tim, Tim is too nice. Tim doesn't HATE. Tim is willing to forgive, to talk, to let Alex live which is something Brian doesn't want, which means he has to be pushed to the side.

It makes me sick how calm he is while Tim is literally in pain in front of him. TWICE. And both times HE'S the reason for said suffering.

But in a way, Masky chooses Tim as HIS priority, having no issue leaving Brian to the wolves and to rot alone with the sickness HE gave him and helped him through, taking the medicine with him, and leaving Brian literally desperate.

They both left each other and caused each other pain they don't necessarily regret - well masky DEFINITELY doesn't.

They're so.. sighs. I don't, they make me upset if I think too much about them. The way Brian loses everything and the way Tim stays basically the same because he's being protected from the bad and ugly.. ugh. I'll shut up now.
