how does your monocle stay on

Greetings,

My monocle is quite literally attached to me. Yes, it is in fact a part of my body! Sometimes I have monoclegraines, which are like migraines except this is when my monocle hurts.

Still on my pathologic kick, anyway, character relationships we don't talk enough about but that make me insane, Artemy addition

Artemy and Capella

First off, just the fact that she can, has, and will psychically, unconsciously SOS him across town. We need to talk about that,

and like the fact it's unconscious, please image post-canon Capella accidentally summoning Artemy bc she and Khan had a fight. Giant, angry doctor on call at any moment against both their wills

Their first conversation where she tells him about curling up in her mother's coffin, "of course we're friends", presenting herself as still weak and coming into her powers vs. their conversation at the Cape, denying an emotional connection, "we're not friends", saying she can do it all on her own - I'm insane. I don't even think it's manipulation, I think she wants an adult who treats her like a child - not a reincarnation of her mother- but gets frightened at the possibility of losing even a drop of her control. The way she specifically denied seeing Artmey as a father.

Capella desperately wanting to be her mother and to have an adult's responsibilities as a Mistress and the children of the town's mother (the way she calls Artemy's list, "our children" - like they are both adults) vs. Artemy seeing how much Capella can resemble her (shitty) dad and being the one person reminding Capella she's not her mother and she is a child, and he'll treat her like one.

The role of the White Mistress based on Victoria's Tomb as "being" the town vs. Artemy specifically talking about the Town calling him - He'll always hear Capella's troubles and pain

And we're back to the psychic SOS thing, but like from a humorous standpoint she really could do the "projecting my period cramps meme"

Artemy and Khan

Okay this is shorter, because they don't interact much but their conversation after the House of Death where Khan gets mad at Artemy for letting him and Notkin go into the dangerous house makes me want to scream

Like not in a bad way - Khan has a point that it was irresponsible to let him and Notkin do that (as does Artemy in that he couldn't really stop them), but just ....

Super independent Peter Pan-meets-child dictator character's first response being "Why didn't you (an adult) stop me (a child)?" is wild

He gives very similar vibes to Capella in which they will loudly declared they don't see Artemy as a parental figures and don't want him to be one, while simultaneously desperately (and likely unconsciously) really wanting the safety net of an adult who will selflessly care for them - something they don't have due to their (1) weird families' expectations of them as future mistress/Kain, (2) their own hyper-competence and independence

Artemy and Andrey

This isn't as serious, I just think it's funny that Andrey has suggestive lines at Artemy in patho1 and patho2. Also is like genuinely pretty friendly with him in both (he'll give you Tyrwine for checking on Peter and he's outright help in his 1st Patho 1 sidequest)

Also just straight up, doesn't believe Artmey if he takes credit for destroying the Polyhedron

Like in fan depictions, I often see them not getting along, but I'm 99% sure Andrey's impression of Artemy is "My Hot and Helpful Weed (Twyr) dealer" - outside of Dankovsky, he's the Utopian who probably likes Artemy the most

Meanwhile Artemy gives off strong "i am choosing to barely register a word coming out of this man's mouth for my own sanity" vibes

Aspity and Dankovsky vs. Aspity and Artmey

Okay, mixing Pathologic 1 and Pathologic 2 here a bit which might not be fair as Aspity in general does seem more serious in Pathologic 2 (even for Daniil in the Marble Nest)

BUT the sheer whiplash of Aspity calling Daniil a prickly prick and monologuing suggestively about naked women at him in Patho1 vs.

Declaring herself Artemy's spiritual elder-sister/mother, keeping his inheritance safe, trying to save him from a cruel fate with Patches even at the cost of her life in Patho2

The whiplash is wild, I want to lock the three of them in a room and see what she does

Artemy and Taya

I love that being the co-ruler/enforcer/parental figure mix to one weird-magical little girl ruler who can magically communicate with him wasn't enough

Taya subconsciously yoinking Artemy into her dreams to play dolls or tell her stories - he hasn't slept in a week

Also I think it would be really interesting post-canon to look at how they are doing as the two big spiritual and political leaders of the Kin

how emboarassing of me

also I think I’d be a meowstic!

Hello Neru, this is sounetaya-official. What would you think I’d be as a Pokemon? :0

I don't know, I'm not a professor. Or a mandibuzzfeed quiz

You know how all Termites prefer to go by nicknames instead of names given by parents? Victoria Olgimskaya is Capella and Kaspar Kain is Khan. Murky, Sticky and Grace don’t even have regular names. All of them remember their parents but never mention their given names, they probably forgot them. Notkin only uses a surname as if he forgot his name too, but honors his family’s memory. The only exception is Taya Tycheek. Both name and surname, no nickname, no interesting variation, nothing.

I believe names are important in Pathologic. I believe it’s symbolic that Olgimskys named their children after themselves and Kains didn’t and Saburovs couldn’t name their daughter at all, she named herself. I believe it’s relevant that all Termites are full orphans by the end of the game and choose their own names. It gives the Termite ending some hopefulness – they determine their own essence and choose their own future. The Town can become better.

But only Taya bears her father’s name without any alterations. She is the only one who is completely immersed in her society and adheres to it fully.

Does it mean that the Kin have nothing to change about themselves? Arranged marriages, sacrifices, rigid social structure, women aren’t even allowed to learn Longmark, their own writing system? No society is presented as perfect in Pathologic.

You could assume that Taya’s name means they can’t change. Or don’t want to. But honestly, I think it’s an oversight. To a Russian ear name Taya Tycheek sounds foreign and interesting. So whoever did the writing overlooked the need for a nickname.

I’d like to change that and headcanon, or even fanon if I’m lucky, a nickname for Taya. I think a mouse or a jerboa in buryat or any other language that is used to mishmash the Steppe Language together, depending on what sounds better and like a nickname a child would use. It is admittedly pretty tough because Google Translate is spewing nonsense. Wikipedia is something I can at least trust but having a native speaker would be better.

I propose Алаг дааган (alag daagan), a full name of a local species of jerboa. Shortened to Alag it would, I think, mean ‘striped’. Which fits with Taya's clothing in p1. I am not set on this, and I welcome suggestions.

'And then the great Minra said to the evil changeling, 'maybe you can turn into a mountain, or a ghergher beast, or a tornado, but those are big things and big things are easy. I bet you can't turn into something small, like a loaf of greenbread.' And so the changeling said 'Yes I can.' and he did, and do you know what happened?' - taya

'The great Minra gobbled him up.' - odo

'How'd you know that?' - taya

'The changeling in your story wasn't very smart.' - odo

'Could you turn into a loaf of greenbread?' - taya

'I suppose I could.' - odo

'Show me.' - taya

'And let you gobble me up? I don't think so.' - odo

Taya-San what is your favorite drink?

Greetings, anon!

To answer your inquiry I would have to say enjoy both coffee and a good spot of tea, I simply adore all types of tea.

One time Defoko offered me some Mountain Dew. The name sounds so quaint and poetic. I expected it to be a delicious tea. Instead it looked like radiation in drink form, and drinking it made me good at video games for the next five hours.
