The visors are hard to see but Leftside has a more armored(? whats the word) like Tank while Rightside has the flat glass like Stalker

Absolutely insane lines to just drop in the middle of an academic text btw. Feeling so normal about this.

feeling ill thinking about about how in the robert icke version of hamlet they changed laertes' "this sword is too heavy, let me see another" to be him wanting to switch out the poisoned sword and trying desperately to stop the tragedy rather than asking for the poisoned blade. an adaptation so compassionate the characters themselves are trying to break free from the tragedy and still can't

!TREPANG2 SPOILERS AHEAD!

"Street Spirit (Fade out)" and "Go Slowly" by Radiohead helped me come up with this horrible idea
106 definitely cried that night

did i ever mention the ficlet i half-wrote that takes place a few months after Seraph/Lightfall/unexile. Bc it is none of what you might expect from that position in the timeline
Exile canonically has a wolf plushie that Crow got them. this is absolutely vital information (and also Crow pulls "The Game" card on them under guise of asking about one of "Cayde's games")

back at it again with TF63 thoughts. featuring Quartermaster (but also. basically every 6-3 member) this time
"Y'know, I used to serve under Taskforce 6-3. Think most of my men are still stationed there. You be good to them, alright, boss?"
the way he says it??? He sounds tired, almost? Speaking low, kind of quiet. Not sure how to describe it. but oh boy
The beginning of the mission, walking in there and listening to the wounded and the people trying to help them (particularly devastating to me is the one where they think they've stabilized someone, only to flatline before they're done speaking. they sound like they're trying not to cry and focus on trying to save who they can)
The way the people sound almost scared to hope but wanting to when they see 106? Calling you the Ace of 2-7? Monitor's "I'm counting on you, Ace." and the Western Cargo Wing with Freakshow's team? (i love Freakshow he's so funny. crazy guy)
look if i gave all my thoughts on the entire mission we'd be here all day (see: Deadeye and the termination order) BUT. Quartermaster. hey buddy
"The Director told me what happened... How 6-3 went rogue. [sigh] Guess people change."
I have to question just how much of the specifics Director told him, though? 6-3 "went rogue" in an effort to save what was left. Auditor got in Monitor's head, amplified by 106 exterminating the wounded you were sent to save. This wasn't an instance of people changing. You're shown from the start that they care for their own, especially Monitor. I have to think, it was the only way it could have gone (and I have all kinds of feelings about those kinds of stories).
"Ya gotta think, if I hadn't transferred over to Task Force 2-7, you probably would have shot me dead today, too."
And it sounds like he knows he would have gone along with it, too? Or that he recognizes there wasn't a choice to be made, at that point. But we also know that, if escape is in impossible, then self-termination is protocol (the Defector HVT & Director's voicelines). Does he know he would have fought back? Does he think he would have been among those wounded? Or does he really know that little? [insert Dubious Morality Of Salmon comic quote here]
What maybe drives me the most insane is the last line, though:
"...Or die tryin'! [weak chuckles, dying off after a moment, followed by a deep sigh]"
god.
yeah dont mind me, just overanalyzing a few sentences of dialogue pointed at the mute weapon protagonist. As always

It’s funny how sacabambaspis is like the funniest looking animal in every hypothetical except for that one picture that makes me feel like I’m about to be killed
