#*robert lutece.

[timeloooop]

i've yet to formally mention/elaborate upon the luteces gender and pronouns.

robert is comfortable with he/they/she pronouns.

before jumping into rosalind's universe, robert only used he/him. once entering rosalind's world, and obtaining all of rosalind's memories (as well as retaining his own), robert became innately but not overtly comfortable with she/her pronouns. however, using she/her pronouns is not something he would ask people to do. if someone accidentally referred to him as such, it simply wouldn't feel wrong or foreign. it's more nuanced than "he has rosalind's memories and rosalind is a woman so he has the memories of a woman and feels like a woman because of that". yes, that's a large part of it--the blurring of selves/identities. but it's also this: having been shown/felt/opened to a feminine existence (via rosalind's memories), he was able to reflect and explore those aspects dormant within himself. that and he is no longer the robert he was before entering rosalind's world. he is inextricably changed and different and other.

similarly, once in rosalind's world, and living as an inseparable unit with her, they/them felt like a natural and frequent pronoun. as they are always together, people often refer to them as one: them. and as "twins" (AND as beings that exist beyond the rules of physics (alive and dead all at once)), they feel a certain fond affinity towards the paradoxical/both-are-true-at-once singular/plural they/them pronouns. what's more, with the blurring of his identity with hers (man and woman), they/them feels like a neutral compromise of the two.

rosalind is comfortable with she/they pronouns.

she/her for obvious reasons. they/them for the same reasons as robert, minus the blending of identities since she does not have his memories.

i am a false prophet because i draw them expressing emotions and not with poker faces.

look what finally arrived!!! I absolutely love that the faces of Lutece coin are mirrors of each other instead of being oriented and laid out the same. also "lives, lived, will live" & "dies, died, will die" in latin is the absolute cherry on top omg

they're so heavy and thick and fun to flip and I have not stopped doing so all night long

the only negative is that I was immensely disappointed to discover that the Lutece coin makes a very unsatisfying & quiet noise when flipped and the silver eagles makes almost none at all :(

(also the silver eagle is like ~1 mm thicker & wider than the Lutece coin for some reason?)

Speaking of BioShock Infinite, have I ever told you about that time I made a timeline of the BioShock series?

Tumblr made the image smaller so I’ve uploaded the original here :)

It’s far from being exhaustive because the reason I drew this in the first place was to make sure I really understood Infinite (the ending, especially) and Burial at Sea, so only the most significant and/or pivotal events are featured here. I later added some stuff from the other two games and the Minerva’s Den DLC after playing them. However, the novel BioShock: Rapture isn’t included because I haven’t read it (and it seems it’s generally not considered canon anyway).

I made this 8 years ago (with Paint, haha) but very recently translated it and made some adjustments so I could post it! I didn’t check everything I wrote because it’s been a while since I’ve really thought about the lore of BioShock, so I decided to trust my 2015 self and assume she knew what she was doing :’)
