i have decided to make pins (for meee). two of the worst things ive ever created will be among them
#the quote in the first one is from the play Electra by Sophocles. yknow. Electra. King Agamemnon's (other. living) daughter.#after... her mother killed him.#anyway yeah i just thought it was funny. since V1 was made incapable of stopping the cycle of violence... i am the shape you made me...#(i might make another version for 106 or Alphonse or-- [i am shot dead])#the second one is bc the background and black and white aesthetic reminded me of the cover of House of Leaves.#and also theres references to HoL in-game <3#orb rambles#and yknow what. ill tag this ultrakill too. fuck it (TM)#ultrakill#the other pins will be a Gemini Home Entertainment ''the river flows but not with water'' with the sewers from Tenement by KittyHorrorShow#a picture of in-game 1000THK looming with YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL over it in ULTRAKILL's text font#(<the one that started this bc someone at the library i work had me cutting out things they printed to make pins that had similar statement#and bad puns that sounded like they came from a facebook mom's inspiration board and i decided. i could be funnier actually. & Hells Note)#another picture (this time the official art in black and white) of THK with MAGNUM OPUS next to it#and a picture from NaissanceE by Limasse Five's architecture that im going to put some of Nuclear Waste Pilot Plant's warning on#i intend to add more to this list. however i cannot currently think of anything new so

try to sleep. think about the 2-7 guy after the meltdown right before mothman comes back that seems to freakout bc 106 abruptly stopped and looked at him (the door).
#orb rambles#trepang2#i am... very ill about this game#i was thinking abt all kinds of things today! TFE! Terraria Calamity! Blood Meridian and Ultrakill and the nuclear waste pilot warning!!#but tbf. everyone needing to be behind a pane of bulletproof glass to speak to 106 with any comfort?#ooooooo buddy. thank you for the food. gnawing

...like antennas to heaven

#prev tags ->#I can't help but wonder if it thought things could have been different#What it thought about in its final moments#That inevitable ticking countdown to critical failure#It knew it was going to die and exactly when#Did it feel regret? Pain? Sadness? Grief?#Did it wonder why man created it to continue a pointless war?#Or was its mind silent with acceptance of its inevitable fate#Did it wonder if God was listening?#Even in God's canonical absence did it still wonder somehow He was still listening somewhere?#If so did it beg Him for an answer? A reason? A response of any kind other than silence?#But as the book said#None were left to speak your eulogy#No final words#No concluding statement#No point#Perfect closure#This is the only way it should have ended#Anyway that concludes whatever this is in the tags#<- prev tags#VERY CORRECT

ah hell i was wrong! It's Stalker on the right and Tank on the left (in the first image. in the second, Tank is in the corner)

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

why did i have to get so attached to the guys i kill in the same level they're introduced.


look at Tank and Stalker. i love the animations as they're standing up there. They could just be having a friendly chat up there. i love them
Five seconds later:

#god i am. so cooked#THEY DIE IN FIVE MINUTES WHY IS MY BRAIN DOING THIS#IM SQUINTING AT ICONS TO CHECK WITH THE MODELS. ILL#i thought Tank was on the right bc he's less professional when he points out 106 and i saw the silly animation and went :o#trepang2#orb rambles#im trying to pinpoint who is who based on comms and voices#bc not all the voicelines are captioned or its hard to tell which is who#But as far as I can tell Killjoy calls Freakshow crazy twice (the first time uncaptioned)#and so I think its Deadeye that warns abt Freakshow blowing his legs off if he gets bored#theres only four in that team and the uncaptioned ''You're fucken crazy man' sounds similar to Killjoy's captioned version in the cargo win#and the other two speakers at that window are captioned as Wolfhound and Freakshow. which leaves only left Deadeye left#GOD I AM LOSING IT AND NOTHING IS GETTING WRITTEN!!!#THE OBSESSION WITH DETAIL EVER HAUNTS ME

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
#i have so many thoughts about Deadeye. as you know#but oh my goddd Quarter's voicelines. i have to go find recordings of them bc the voicelines for returning to base only play once :(#but i can listen to the leaving the base ones every time. so im subjected to him telling me to Take care of his boys everytime.#augh...#BUT AT THE SAME TIME I WANT TO THROTTLE HIM. AFTER THE FINAL MISSION. MAIM AND BURN. BUT ALSO I LOVE HIM??#hhhfghbdhjjnnn#VERY CHARACTER.#theres also raven being gay when you get back to the safehouse but this post is abt 6-3!!!#trepang2#yeah thats it. im maintagging this. hello#orb rambles
