Hey look! Next Architect coming right up! Look at Guiding Light!!! They're so pretty!!

Yeah guys! Crazy!! I'm not giving Guide gender! They're they/it until the cannon says otherwise!

Gotta love Pressure's Guide vs Doors' guide.

One of them says "I believe in you, you can do this!" and doesn't know humans need to breathe oxygen.

The other one says "Womp Womp" and "I heard your head pop from here lol!"

One of them is a tad bit nicer....

"Maybe some day, kid."

They're on top of that mountain by his hometown, at last.

Sort of dedicating this piece to my cat, Khoshekh, who recently passed away on the 30th of June. I know it's not entirely canon-compliant, but I want to make her the cat in the photo on Sebastian's coat to remember her always.

The setting is also inspired by the sunset we saw that evening on Monday. I like to think it was made in her honour.

This update came at a pretty extreme time, just a day after losing her. I was already full of emotions by the time I started playing it. The new content made me feel frustrated, upset, embarrassed (even though we all struggle to learn new things in video games...), but honestly? It just made me feel really happy.

I'm happy knowing that Sebastian and pAInter make it out together. It's not a fanfic, it's not vaguely implied in text; they escape. It's in the radio in Sebastian's shop. It's in their conversations together. It's in the hidden room in the Ridge where pAInter waits by the dock (he didn't move there by himself, Sebastian did that - he helped him, they helped each other). And they're free now.

How does this relate to my cat? I don't know lol.

Pressure is one of the biggest - if not the biggest - special interest I've ever had. Originally getting into it, pAInter was my favourite character. He's annoying, snarky, and a little shit, but he was hurting. A lot. He had depth and motive beyond just killing for the sake of it. I wanted more than anything an ending where he's saved. And now we've finally gotten it. A day after Khoshekh passed away. How silly it is to experience such a tragedy and then be comforted by Roblox npcs.

You can kill pAInter, too. But it's not "canon", at least not to the metanarritive or whatever. It'll never be the real ending. The real ending is one where they're both free, and alive.

And that makes me feel better.

"Anyone ever teach you to knock, old man?"

(or: I choose to believe Sebastian gets self-conscious about himself, being so "monstrous" and unwieldy, and so takes the only logical route when he and Painter start becoming a thing: practice kissing on the nearest flat screen)

[solacefish]

I am stuck on how the whole situation with the sebastian scanner works. can you imagine for a moment when he found out he didn't need it? the silence that followed when the door slid off its hinges like butter, when the metal was caved in and he had a moment to look down on himself and realise what he'd become?

he'd tried to stay humane, he tried to come up with a solution any human could think of. but it doesn't fit for him, he's beyond that. it's a devastating feeling to sit and know you can't go back to who you were before no matter how hard he tries to scrape beyond it. he simply wanted to be a normal human.

something about the factor he's so kind to get rid of it to genuinely assist you, something about his last remaining trust in the expendables dissipating in front of his very eyes afterwords. he helped you with what he wished could've helped him — and any semblance of a thought that 'you're just following orders, you didn't know what you were getting into' made him regret handing it off at all. it just made it easier for you.

>> "Please Sebastian I Do Not Want To Listen To Creep Again . Please Sebas"

>> really likes to be complimented/appreciated and hung out with. hed gladly hang out with an expendable even if he knows hes gotta kill them later

>> sometimes uses dead expendables as references on Bad Days

>> my little meow meow :3333

P.AI.nter is SUCH an interesting character to me... he's probably become one of my all time favorites, as I haven't fixated on a character this hard since since...TMC. It physically hurts to think about it in the best way possible-

That being said, I have SO MANY THOUGHTS to say about 'em... so I'm going to dump them here.

First and formost, it's so interesting that P.AI.nter has such a wide array of emotions when it comes to attacking and interacting with the Expendables. At first it's strange, like "WTF?? You're trying to kill me and you just yelled how I was boring, wdym you're sorry??" But... knowing his lore and backstory, it makes so much sense.

P.AI.nters creator was gunned down on accident by Urbanshade, which upon the discovery of P.AI.nter, then decided to trap him in a harddrive and make it mine whats essenically crypto at the Hadal Site- For years, it's stuck mining for the company unwillingly, unable to draw the lanscapes it loved. For fucks sake, P.AI.nter tried to FRY HIS CIRCUTS just to get out. He's desprate, miserable and lonely, and just wants to escape- Any way possible.

And so when Sebastian comes reeks his havoc on the site and finds it, P.AI.nter is incredibly trusting of him to get them both out. Maybe alittle too trusting, but whats he got left to loose? They've both been used by the company and want nothing more to leave, leave and never return. So when Sebastian connects it to the servers- to the Navi-Path & Turrets and tells him to stop the Expendables, P.AI.nter does.

However.

This is self preservation down here. P.AI.nter of course, is rightfully angry at times. I mean- The same company that killed it's creator before his very (nonexistant) eyes, trapped it down here, and even sucked the joy he has from creating art away is now actively getting in the way of the freedom he yearns for. But at the same time... this isn't something done that it entirely wants to be doing. Like I said. This is self preservation. And his actions, and even your deaths weigh heavy. Theres a voiceline, and its delievered so well- Of P.AI.nter pleading for the player to wake up and apologizing profusely if it kills you.

That line sparked this whole theory in the first place.

Your death, reminds it of his creator.

Isn't it ironic how it's now manning the very same weapon that killed the one who brought him sentience in the first place? That he's now the one at fault? Thats gotta be on the back of his mind each and every time it leads an expendable to their demise.

This isn't personal.

He doesn't know who you are.

But it still hurts.

It really annoys me when people in the community call P.AI.nter two faced, or god forbid, do the shitty thing of saying in a derogatory manner that he's bipolar or such as a "joke". Thats just disrespectful to both the character and folks who do have it. It's just plain rude. People do something similar for Sebastian, saying that oh, they're ruining his character by making him mean and snarky and whatnot. I know this happens in every fandom out there, and that this rant is fruitless, but... people need to understand that characters like P.AI.nter and Sebastian have reasons behind their actions and have existing trauma that if you take a moment to look at, you can go "Wowie! Thats a complex character! Everything makes so much sense now, like a puzzle peice I can see traces of in their character in almost every aspect!" Rather than doing awful things like I brought up at the start. But... I digress. I know this rant wont change much so. I hope y'all enjoyed my mini character analysis

Anyway this video has all of P.AI.nters voicelines if 'ya wanna go have a listen after this :] also I got plenty more thoughts about P.AI.nter and Sebastian if anyone wants to know!

[markerofthemidnight]

The Stick to the Script ending is actually really interesting when you remember the only reason why pAInter was a threat to you in the first place is because Sebastian told them to be

So in the end, Sebastian tries to kill you for something that’s actually his fault more than anyone else’s
