Vermine

[secicrexe]

I said 'I love you,' but like a patient with perfect Alzheimer's, who cannot even take a spoon seriously…

.

... enlever une dent à mains nues est un sentiment prodigieux ; aucune rivière ne coulera à moins que les yeux ne s’ouvrent pour inviter les papillons à résoudre un problème essentiel ; chaque morsure d’ongle perturbe la gravité – l’habitude donc de voir les meubles se pencher – les horloges pas encore fixées aux murs qui avancent… vers qui ? Vermine ! Vers un corps mince maintenant une mine !

Gender, Sexuality, Romantic Attraction Tagging Game

How do: You put your gender, sexuality, and romantic attraction down with a line break between them—but, here's the catch, don't use any labels! So, for example, this, "Gender? Agender Sexuality? Lesbian Romantic Attraction? Demiromantic" would be this: "Gender? I hardly know 'er! Sexuality? Girl-kisser Romantic Attraction? My friends, I think"

So, here's mine!

Gender? Yours, fool Sexuality? Yes Romantic Attraction? Only if I know you well enough

Unlike this guy, I know not to describe human beings as insects.

Everyone reading this knows never to describe human beings as insects.

We have better journalism skills. Even if you aren’t a journalist.

We know this happened in WW2.

So we should probably win one of his three journalist Pulitzer Prizes, because we understand something he doesn’t.

I made some outfits for Pamela because I love drawing outfits and Pamela.

Do you think that Dabi ever just occasionally snuck into the Todoroki household when no one was home just to move things around to cause confusion and also to check to make sure his siblings didn't mess with anything in his room?

Oh yeah. He swaps out all the photos of Enji for photos of All Might. He moves all the furniture a couple inches to the left.

He raids the fridge weekly. (Sometimes he leaves notes telling Fuyumi how good her cooking is— except one time when she made fish and he left a note that just said “yuck” and had a badly drawn fish on it).

He goes through his old room and sees everything just lying around, untouched. He picks up an old toy that Natsuo used to beg him to let him play with. He leaves it on Natsuo’s bed. (Which creeps the fuck out of Natsuo and convinces him that the house is haunted).

He avoids Shouto’s room in general. He went in there once and discovered that they like some of the same things and it made him mad lmao

He makes sure that Enji’s credit card number hasn’t changed, bc he’s been using it for years and somehow Enji has never noticed.

And right before he leaves, he lets a bunch of raccoons into Enji’s bedroom. He lingers around outside until he hears Enji yell, “NOT THE RACCOONS AGAIN!”

Did a battle-shell redesign for my Vermin au!

I'm not really sure I like how complex it turned out, but I really only went in with the idea to make it less bulky than cannon and give it a tail, so, mission accomplished?

I have this theory that Donnie in my au would favor agility over defense, deciding to use his flexible shell to his advantage rather than cover it with a giant, heavy shield. The shell can still take a hit, but its not nearly as thick as canon and doesn't have as much variety in its capabilities, like canon's flight shell and firepower.

Anyway, it's still a work in progress but I'm liking the direction it's headed! Down below is the lineart:

[roach-works]

ok im waffling on about fallout instead of having breakfast but i saw a criticism of how the prisoners were treated that's stuck with me.

spoilers!

so i think the criticism wasn't incorrect, per se: it condemned the way the show portrayed the vault dweller's naive intention to rehabilitate their murderous captives. it found fault with a common, and horrible, message that tv shows like to say, which is that carcerial violence and even the death penalty is the only effective way to deal with criminals, who are a fundamentally Bad category of human. im sick of that message too! but i think that wasn't what was going on here, actually.

so like, the vault dwellers had only ever experienced violent loss the once, and didn't really know how to cope other than denial and repression of the ordeal. but they were all hopeful and enthusiastic that their prisoners, the invaders that came to kill them all and take their stuff, could be eventually welcomed into the community as their comrades. the champions of this cause were nebbishy dorks and painfully out of touch academics. this is pretty normal for how prison reformers are portrayed, if extremely fucking annoying for those of us who ARE in favor of prison reform.

but so of course when the son of the former overseer, Norm, speaks up and suggests killing the prisoners, because why should they share resources with invaders who explicitly wanted to keep hurting them? why should they show mercy to their attackers? everyone is appalled by this suggestion. because they had to reinvent the whole concept of vengeance right then and there, because grudges and cycles of violence are anathema to a bottle society like theirs. they have been raised all their lives to forgive and forget and now, put to the test, they're recommitting to this ethos: get along, let the past go, look towards the future, believe the best of everyone.

but the prisoners die, anyway. the prisoners are killed with rat poison. and the thing is that Norm who suggested it didn't do it himself. and the prison guard who's blamed for it, even though she privately agreed with Norm that the prisoners are dangerous and unforgiveable, she didn't do it either. it's not a moment of triumphant, cathartic vengeance and it doesn't prove that there's no way to negotiate with terrorists and invaders but kill them like vermin because that's not what the message is meant to be.

the message is that norm stands there in the middle of these inconvenient prisoners, these corpses dressed in his own people's uniforms, and he looks at the new overseer. and he knows that she killed them, and she knows that he knows. she wanted him to know. this is her message and he's reading her loud and clear. and he doesn't look like a guy who's just been backed up by authority, who's just been validated in his desire for the ultimate control over those who have wronged him.

he's scared and pale and the music is ominous as fuck. and he's inside the cell, he's directly in the middle of it.

because what just happened is that he realized his entire society is being held prisoner, and the overseer is the one with the rat poison. and that he doesn't know, anymore, what freedom and safety and justice actually mean, just that he doesn't have them and he doesn't know where to find them.

that's what that scene meant. not that rehabilitative justice is a pathetic delusion of people who have no idea how to make hard choices.

but that before you advocate for killing prisoners, you might want to see how big that prison is, first.

and which side of the bars you're standing on.
