Forever & Phil writing practice read at your own risk <3

Phil had been here for too long. He wasn't sure how much longer he could stare at the blank ceiling before he lost it. It had probably been days, but he had no way to tell. He couldn't see the sun. There were no windows in this room. His room. For the rest of his life.

That's what Quackity had said.

Here. For the rest of his life.

Nobody would come to help him and he was far too weak now to get out by himself. They made sure he was too weak.

They took his armour, his weapons, his food. Anything that would let him put up a fight was gone.

For the first time in his life, Phil was defenseless. Stuck.

He hardly heard the footsteps approaching the door, or the click it made when it was opened.

Phil looked over, slowly.

Forever smiled at him as the door shut behind him. "Phil! Meu amor, how are you feeling?"

Phil feels sick, tired, weak, afraid.

He can't say that.

So, he says nothing.

"Has the uh... medicine not worn off yet?"

Phil stares for a moment longer before shaking his head slowly. Moving hurt. Bad. He had put up too much of a fight when they put him in here, now he had to suffer the consequences.

Forever cooed as he came closer. He sat on the bed, watching Phil silently. The look in his eye made Phil sick. He didn't want this. He didn't want Forever to look at him like that. The way Missa does, loving, adoring. Forever wasn't supposed to look at him like that.

"Você est�� tão linda meu amor..." Forever seems to get lost, staring at Phil like he could never have enough. "I love you."

Phil wanted to die right then and there. The words made him more sick than he already was. One too-quick move and he would throw up. Or not. He hadn't eaten in far too long. He'd dry heave until his abdomen hurt too much to stand. He'd gag and cry until he passed out again.

And Forever would watch.

He was as sick as Phil felt. Demented and twisted. Phil couldn't imagine doing this to someone. What sort of monster did you have to be to want this. To take someone from their family and lock them away, beat them half to death, starve them, drug them-

For love?

This was love?

What sort of evil was this? What had Phil done to deserve this? He was good. He was a good man. He didn't deserve this.

He was still here, though.

And he wasn't going to leave.

He was here for the rest of his life.

Forever stroked his cheek, smiling at him. Phil let out a shaky breath as Forever's rough hands ran over a bruise on his jaw.

"Does it still hurt?"

Phil nodded.

"Those pills were meant to help." He sounded sympathetic but Phil didn't believe it. He didn't care. Forever was happy to see him hurt. He wasn't sympathetic and Phil was sure those drugs were just sleeping pills.

Phil closed his eyes, leaning into Forever's touch despite himself. Forever cooed again.

"Tired?"

Phil nodded.

"Get some sleep, querido."

Phil nodded. He needed it. He needed to be away from this place. Sleep was his only way out for now. Even a nightmare would be better than this. He'd rather see his children die again than be stuck here, so far away from them.

"Amo-te, querido."

I have a confession. I do not care for the soc boys. I'm sure they have very interesting character traits and lore the actors and fandom have come up with and that is so fun and great and I know none of it and I am perfectly content with that. Shout out to all my mutuals who love the soc boys I hope you are having fun with your Ken dolls but I will not be joining you. keep slaying.

Annatar during chapter 39 of The Harrowing by Chthonion~

And then doodles with some of my favourite bits from the afore mentioned chapter -

I've been meaning to do stuff from this chapter since it came out cause it is amazing- (in a 'wanting to suffocate Annatar with hugs and cups of tea, and the collateral sufferers too- like getting Maedhros back to Fingon for recuperation' kind of a way) - at revealing just how messed up Annatar's mindset is. I definitely recommend the Maedhros pov as well- the amount of '... I don't think I even want to unpack that statement' and 'seriously. We have gone over this. At least three times. In the last twenty minutes. Why do you not get it??' that goes through his head during that conversation is just- Amazin~

:D

This fic is really cool and I highly recommend it to anyone even vaguely into lotr or the Silmarillion.

:D

left longing for the stage

been thinking a lot about tamba recently since [afterlife], her yearning for the drama performance and club at her school but having it curbed by her gymnastics, then her excitement over the princess dresses and playing pretend, and then tamba worried she’ll be forgotten/won’t be remembered for who she IS but rather for her gymnastics achievements, makes me sad that she never got to explore the things she could’ve loved and how haunting that would feel being trapped in a place you’ll probably leave unless it’s in a body bag, especially in a place you’ve been scared since day one you’re an easy target, idk idk idk if im so utterly down the wrong track and shit with her but ive been thinking about her a lot recently regardless man,,,,,,,,,,,,,, tamba get behind me

[sideblogdotjpeg]

have been thinking about professor sol even. professor bufo with no clearly discernable lesson plan. sol bufo ostensibly martial arts professor who spent two weeks running a yoga and meditation program and shows up to the next class with crochet hooks for everyone. professor bufo who is technically supposed to be assigning grades to students but hasnt given anyone less than an A because "i think they worked really hard and they did a great job :)" (referring to the ugliest and most malformed pot holder anyone has laid eyes upon in their life). professor bufo who is on his way to cluelessly kickstart the sexual awakening of about half the cohort of the academys new students. sol bufo adjunct professor who is gone half the year and his first class back is so immediately and easily baited into going into a long tangent about how cool his friends are. sol who is pretty sure hes easily the most useless professor on campus and almost cries when he sees his little desk overflowing with thank you notes at the end of the year. professor bufo absolutely fucking gloriously hot in the tightest little sweater vest because there were faculty complaints when he wore a crop top to class.

So the Death of the Outsider lacks a chaos system and it makes perfect sense

(I recommend reading my other post on how chaos works in the DH universe first but it is not mandatory.)

The point of the chaos system is, at its core, a reflection of how a world already at its tipping point reacts to the player's actions: Dunwall ridden by the plague and oppressed by the Lord Regent’s rule, Karnaca bloodfly-bitten and slowly torn to shreds by the Duke with people scared after the recent coup.

Billie, however, simply exists as a person once the world has been tipped towards the better, Emily having reclaimed her throne and Karnaca slowly but surely steering towards better times. Her quest is not motivated by politics or by a falling empire. It is entirely personal to her, Daud, and the Outsider.

Billie is an ex-assassin. She puts the world on a tipping point, but she does not decide whether the world rights itself or comes crashing over the edge. She takes jobs from the black market, sometimes killing people for money, because that is all it is to her - a job. And while she may kill innocent people while at it, there is no more terror it can bring atop the cruel rule of the Duke and people dying in the mines. In the end, she will disappear into the shadows. It is just another mugging, another unfortunate murder of a father coming home in the evening. Nothing more, nothing less. No responsibility to take over it after.

She is dedicated to her quest, and that quest is not even hers - it is Daud's, and she is just going along with it out of maybe guilt, maybe old times' sake. She is not even that interested in killing the Outsider herself, has very little stakes in it, and decides to go through with it because it's what Daud wanted. There is no world that can react to her because she is the world that is reacting, in a sense, to Daud's wishes and the Outsider's subtle interventions.

Compared to, say, DH2 which takes place months before the events of DotO, Billie has very little to lose, no place to reclaim, no world to save. The results of her actions, no matter what they might be, won't change how the world is at the end of the game. Emily can choose whether a brilliant doctor lives so she can save lives, she decides whether the Howlers or the Overseers take over Batista, dictates who rules and with how much power, with what level of cruelty. Billie is killing a god, no matter what it takes, and there is little need for consideration of how this result is achieved.

The game does not even have targets, save for one, the Outsider himself. All the missions are about gathering intel and preparing for the job. The structure of the whole game is very different to serve the purpose of the plot and honestly it's a clever choice so that the focus remains on the one thing only - killing the Outsider.

One thing I did not mention in relation to chaos in my other post is that the chaos also influences the Outsider and his speeches at the shrines. Which, fair enough, it is just one more change in dialogue among many. But in the case of DotO, he is directly involved. He is not an observer anymore. He has real reason to be emotionally invested in what is happening and what Billie is doing. He needs to bait her into murder, or change her mind to spare him and free him from his eternal imprisonment. There can't be a change from interest to cynicism as Billie kills more people to get to him, because in the end, he is the target. He wants out of the Void by any means necessary, which means he has to be fully invested at all times. He has no reason to suddenly go soft and make subtle comments. He comes across as so much more malicious in this game, maiming Billie and being so incredibly cruel when he tells her that Daud has passed while she was away. All this because he can't risk her changing her mind, thinking to herself, “Hey, maybe he sucks but he’s not That Bad” and then turning on her heel to leave. He is trying to influence Billie instead, which he didn’t do with his Marked (unless you count his mentions of multiple possible outcomes as influencing, or him telling Daud about Delilah).

So no, the world won't change for you, the player. It won't change because you chose not to kill anyone, not even the contract targets, because if you don't do the dirty work, someone else will. And the Outsider cannot change either, because Billie is not changing the fate of an empire. She is changing the fate of Him, personally, and he cannot afford to let her choose the only bad choice - indifference. So there is no point in a chaos at all.

No matter what Billie does in the end, the outcome will be the same - the Void will change. sShe will change the universe as they know it, but no matter how she goes about it, the change will come. She is not faced with a question of what she wants the world to be. She was guided there by others, expected to do one thing - kill a god. The world has set her up, and now she has to react.

And so she comes to the Void and is met with the only choice that will matter: Is she going to show mercy, or remain the same?
