#and i dont know how to explain this to people

[himasgod]

I want to see Idia help dying reader(cancer perhap) keep it a secret from other. Only Idia know that reader dont have much time!

IDIA X READER

Where you are terminally ill.

Where you spend your last moments with him

I really hesitated to write this one, as it's a very, very sensitive topic. Of course, these types of illnesses shouldn't be romanticized, so I haven't added any sugar coating to this fic under any circumstances. They should be treated with the respect they deserve. If this content is triggering for you, I ask that you not read it.

Your diagnosis came quietly.

No dramatic crashes, no outbursts.

Just you, sitting in the sterile nurse’s office with that white paper crinkling beneath your hands, trying not to cry when you’re told that magic and potions can only do so much.

Stage four. Late discovery. Spreading like wildfire.

You were running out of time. Months, if you were lucky.

You told Idia first—not because it was easy, but because it was necessary.

He noticed things others didn’t: the way your fingers trembled when you held your books, how you started taking longer naps in his room, and how you felt weaker each day.

He listened that night, shoulders hunched, blue hair dimming to a dull sickly hue as you explained it.

"I don’t want anyone else to know,” you had said. “Just you.”

And he had nodded, eyes glassy, trembling like his fingers were already typing out a thousand lines of code to try and find a solution that didn’t exist.

The world still turned.

NRC still buzzed with chaos.

You still went to class, laughed when Grim made a fool thing, and lived in Ramshackle like everything was normal.

Like you weren’t quietly dying from the inside out.

Only Idia knew.

You’d sneak away between classes to rest in his room, curled up beneath a blanket while he played games beside you, pretending not to glance your way every few minutes just to make sure you were still breathing.

"Y'know... you're just farming sympathy buffs from me at this point," he mumbled one evening, awkwardly pressing a warm mug of tea into your hands.

His fingers lingered too long.

“I should be charging mana for all this emotional damage.”

You smiled, weak.

“I’ll pay you back in hugs.”

“Not fair... That’s like... an SSR-tier bribe.”

Sometimes, when you were too tired to speak, he’d talk to fill the silence. About his game progress. About the latest manga chapters.

About Ortho, who had no idea you were fading.

You never asked him to lie to Ortho. But he did anyway.

“I told him you’re just really busy,” Idia murmured once, sitting on the edge of his bed, fingers digging into his sleeves.

“That you’re helping Crowley with secret work or whatever.”

“That’s a terrible lie.”

“Yeah, well… it worked. He believes in you more than, like, 99.999% of people. And I guess I do too.”

He paused, voice cracking.

“So maybe I’m lying to myself too.”

“Idia…”

“I know. I know, okay? You don’t have to say it. Just… stay. Here. With me. For as long as you can.”

The days blurred.

You stopped attending most classes.

Everyone thought you were simply burnt out or finally fed up with the school’s chaos. Even Grim didn’t suspect much, too busy enjoying the tuna and the quieter dorm without having to fight ghosts or deal with overblots every weekend.

But Idia knew. He always knew.

He watched the color drain from your face, the way your body moved slower than it used to, like you were stuck in molasses.

The way your coughs grew harsher and more painful, and how sometimes, when you tried to speak, the words didn’t come out right.

And yet you still smiled for him.

“You’re still here,” you whispered one night, curled into him under the flicker of his room’s neon lights.

“Of course I am. Where else would I be? The... "final boss fight" hasn’t even started yet…”

“Idia, there’s no final boss. Just… a game over screen.”

He flinched, the words slicing through the layers of deflection and sarcasm he used like armor.

“I’ll... I’ll find a way,” he said, pulling you tighter.

“I don’t care if I have to hack into the underworld or bribe Hades himself. I’ll use forbidden code, I’ll glitch the world—hell, I’ll write a patch for reality. Just... don’t go. Please.”

You rested your head against his shoulder, eyelids fluttering.

“I didn’t tell anyone else because I didn’t want them to look at me differently. I just wanted to be me. Just… me and you. Like always.”

“And that’s all I want too,” he whispered, tears he never let himself cry sliding down his cheek.

“Just the two of us.”

And the final week came faster than either of you could have prepared for.

You could barely stand anymore.

He carried you everywhere now—not that you were heavy, just that your legs forgot how to move most days.

He set up a custom bed in his room, surrounded by screens playing soft ambient music from your favorite games.

Ortho wasn’t allowed in, which hurt, but Idia had made some excuse about “anti-virus calibration zones.”

You both knew this was goodbye, even if you didn’t say it.

And on the last night, when your breath was shallow and uneven, he held your hand like it was a lifeline.

"I’m scared. I don't want to die, Idia...," you whispered as you looked into his dark-circled eyes for the last time..

“I’m not,” he said, even though his hair had turned the color of ash and his voice was shaking.

“I’ll keep you here, in every memory, every save file, every photo, every saved profile. I’ll talk to you every day. In my head. In my dreams. You’ll be part of my world always.”

You tried to smile.

“Even after the Game Over screen?”

He squeezed your hand.

“Especially then.”

You looked away from his eyes and up at the fading ceiling.

"Idia… meeting you and loving you was the best thing that could have happened to me."

And when your breath slowed, your grip loosened, and your eyes fluttered shut for the last time—

Idia didn’t scream.

He didn’t cry out.

He just held you, silently, for hours.

His screens blinked around him. A still frame of your favorite game lingered on one of them.

“Yuu has left the world. Yuu has left me.” he whispered.

But deep down, he believed—you were just waiting for him at the next checkpoint.

One where it was just the two of you.

[noodlecarrot50states]

I’m afraid it’s time I confess something: in case you haven’t realized, not only do I ship HammerHunter… but I’m not that fond of Jlaire. AT ALL.

GUYS DONT THROW THE TOMATOES AT ME YET PLEASE !!!

So I guess I should explain WHY.

Look, I loved them in Trollhunters. I found them really cute in season 1 and 2. Season 3 they did basically nothing and I have zero problems with that. You wanna know why? Because they had bigger issues in season 3 to worry about, so Jlaire was not of importance. I’m glad they didn’t make it a focus, because it really wasn’t necessary.

But Wizards. Oh WIZARDS.

Wizards made me want to bash my head in for many reasons. The writing inconsistencies for one. But also the erasure of like a lot of characters. While the movie really threw them into dog water, Wizards was already setting up the character assassination of Steve, Claire, literally anyone else who didn’t go back in time. I mean I get that the series was supposed to be two seasons and then for some reason got cut down to one, but…

… if they had to cut SOMETHING…

WHY DIDNT THEY CUT THE 15 MILLION JLAIRE MOMENTS BRO 😭😭😭

I DONT CARE IF ITS CUTE OR WHATEVER IT WAS NOT NECESSARY. This series is supposed to be setting up the movie and its new conflicts. They should be focusing on developing the Arcane Order, the OTHER CHARACTERS, not the relationship that we already saw develop in the FIRST SHOW.

Claire for example. My pookie wookie bae. She lost her shadow staff but her powers are returning to her and she’s going through the mental conflict of not wanting to end up like Morgana. THAT could have been a great premise to complete Claire’s development and to help her become stronger. PLUS we could have had Morgana (since she became good again) showing Claire some spells.

BUT NO. That entire plot line gets shoved into ONE EPISODE (episode 4) and every other second is just her going “Jim!” SHUT UP!!

It’s not doing anything for her character, it’s not doing anything for his (because he had his own shit going on) SO IT MEANS NOTHING!

And then I saw some people on Reddit like “oh they’re in love though so of course they are gonna be worried about each other”

First of all, weak argument. Secondly, how have they reached THE LOVE STAGE?! Toby had said in the beginning that Claire “barely knew Jim existed” and even if she did have a crush on him that implies they barely interacted with each other. And if we follow my stupid ass timeline for the show then like they only became real friends around the spring fling which is like March or April. Trollhunters ended on the last day of school which would be in like June, and Steve said in the beginning of Wizards that “the rest of the summer will eat farts” so that implies it’s like late July now. So that’s only 5 months or something. 💀💀💀 only 1 month or a month and a half of Claire and Jim in New Jersey that we didn’t see, but Jim got attacked by the green knight at some point so that subtracts time 💀💀💀 my point is it takes normal people like a year to say “I love you.” And don’t even bother saying “well it’s a cartoon”

THEN DONT WORSHIP THE RELATIONSHIP AS IF ITS THE BEST WRITTEN SHIP TO EVER EXIST.

NOT LIKE IT MATTERED ANYWAY BECAUSE JIM LEFT MY LATINA BAE BEHIND JUST TO SAVE STUPID TOBY 🫠

Anyway uh GOT A LITTLE HEATED THERE SORRY 🥰 yall can ship what you want I just wanted to share why I personally don’t like the relationship.

#i dont know how to explain this to people#especially at work#like i can go through the motions#but thoughts arent happening#it feels like we’ve been stuck in the twilight zone#when will october 7 end#600 days#the jews are tired

Sending love to everyone on this post. You are not alone.

i know we keep saying “for us jews it’s still october 7th” but from the bottom of my heart i cannot process the fact that it’s been more than 8 months. literally my brain has blocked out all of it. i know logically so much of my life has changed in these 8 months but every single change, every good or bad experience, has been tainted with the massacre and the war since. i cannot feel normal, i can’t even process time normally. and i am a jew in the Diaspora. i can’t even imagine what it’s like for israelis, jewish or otherwise. geez.

"Whether or not this is a good model is not up for me to decide" You're right! It isn't up to you! It's up to all the trans people (men, women, and nonbinary) who have explained at great length how it harms them and divides their community!

I'm so glad you understand that so early in your rant and I don't have to read all that shit.

He eventually gets better at it, it just takes him a while to get there. One knows mystics and is good at some mystic stuff, so is gonna be specially frustraiting not to be able to control the odashi, Draxum's expectations on him don't really help. but he'll get there!! I do have a few episodes planned that tackle all of these

He doesnt really care about most of the scars, if asked, he's more likely to just shrugg it off and say they are from training or from a mission (not a lie)

there's just a couple of them that would get him excited to actually talk about (some on his shell) and I had thought to make a short comic on it, but it's been a while since I started this au and I've got so liitle out and so much of the story to tell so it's been discarted for now

When it comes specificaly to the ones from the vines, he would never in a million years admit what had happened. everyone is 100% on the dark on how he got them until the event I've dubbed Vine 2: Electric Boogaloo (more here) and even then, he would want and wont talk about them

when it comes to the others reaction those are part of the story I want to keep to myself until I can draw that part and tell the story properly, I believe I've talked about it a little bit before, you can scroll down the #slau seed tag on the askblog to look for more things

thank you!

Shredder stuff pretty much happens the same as canon, there's just a bit of a side quest going on too with Mikey trying to get Draxum and One to actually bond and get along

@jayonlyexisting

1- not really, at least not conciously, but I've realized a few paralells between him and other characters I like, I've never considered the Zuko vibes but I've got a few people mentioned the Hunter vibes, and with that I can agree to (1 / 2 / halloween edition/ theres also a few drawings I've made joking about it but I cant find them rn, I'll post them later... probably)

On a side note, I was watching lilo and stitch and One also has a lot of Stitch vibes if we go for the more gremlin and destructive side of him and I think thats really funny, is also not the first time I've thought about that

2- Splinter knew he existed in the "I know there were 4 turltes" when the whole mutation stuff happened, but as far as he knows at some point while running away he must had dropped one turtle and didnt noticed until it was too late and he couldnt go back for him. He saw the lab explode, so all the time he has thought that turtle died

they actually meet each other after the events of Shadow of Evil, but they have seen each other a couple of times before, one time is a made up episode I have planned and the other is piggybacking on The Fast and the Furriest, being the very first time they see each other, tho is for a very short time as One is already leaving

I dont wanna talk about it much, as I like more when a story tells itself, but Splinter at this point knows his sons have been hangin out with a new friend and that fried is from the Hidden City, they had just balantly hidden the part about knowing Draxum made them and also made this other guy at the same time, but Splinter does recognize One and later the others have to explain on how they know him and what exaclty they know

One doesnt really care about Splinter, he's just this random mutant/yokai that adopted the other experiments and is an obstacle on his mission to get them to join Draxum. One know their dad doesnt like him, cause he thinks One's being a bad infuence on his sons (and One thinks thats funny), One also knows he's the one who thought them to fight, but thats pretty much it

[honeyspeeches]

I dont know where you are getting any of this information from but it is not true. No one from the project left until they started the production of season 7 in spring 2017. If you read my analysis to the full length you will see that I provided several sources to the timeline I set up. In this post alone I have provided a source for a podcast where JDS and LM state that they had to fight majorly for being able to out Shiro as queer, and even then they were told to scale massively back by Dreamworks executives. I also state this in the post above.

JDS and LM absolutely knew that Klance were supposed to be canon. They were the showrunners of Voltron, they are the ones who have a hand in everything. In this analysis I provide several sources for JDS and LM implying that they planned for Klance and had it planned from the beginning. Again, they were in on everything since they were the showrunners. The writers or designers cannot just start doing a bunch of shit without their knowledge, that is not how a project works. See the Art of ATLA book for details on how to produce an animated tv show.

All of the changes that you have observed within the Voltron story are NOT because of JDS and LM. Again, if you read the full analysis, you’d see that I provided evidence for a podcast in which Eugene Lee, a director for Voltron, states that he also thought about leaving the project, but he couldn’t with good conscience leave because a lot of people had already left at that point, and JDS and LM begged him to stay. If JDS and LM were the ones who created a “rough” environment, as they say in the podcast, he would not have cared how his leaving would affect them. I also provide evidence for a podcast in which they (and other members of the project) state several times that they weren’t allowed to do everything they wished because they weren’t the IP holders of Voltron. Here I explain what that means. They are indirectly telling us who was responsible for the drastic changes to the story, and it was the IP holders of Voltron, WEP CEOs Ted and Bob Koplar. As I also said in that essay, they were executives on the show, and the only people who could legally demand such changes on such short notice in the film-production chain, because being the IP holders means that they control the way in which it is changed from its original form, because they have economic and moral rights over the franchise.

I understand your frustration, but it is misguided and aimed at the wrong people. JDS and LM had just come fresh off of LOK when they started making Voltron (that I also said in the full analysis) and they were very proud of having been involved in the Korrasami ending. They were more than willing and able to take that a step further with Klance. It is very clear that they planned a very progressive story from the get go, creating a world where everyone is a little mixed and no one cares about sexuality (here and here). Again, I explain all of this here. They fought very hard to keep the elements of the story in there, but they were told to remove it by the IP holders. As they all keep saying, they aren’t the IP holders of Voltron and thus they aren’t allowed to just do anything with the franchise.

I thought like you once. I also blamed JDS and LM. But they are not the villains of this story. Greedy and bigoted CEOs are.

As you wish.

LANCE'S ERASURE FROM SEASON 7

I've made a few observations while I wrote Voltron Is a Love Story and Keith's Soft Spot that made me go hmm... Lance is weirdly absent from this scene and/or switched position with another character...

For example, the first thing I found was this scene in Season 7, Episode 1: A Little Adventure where Lance straight up just disappears from the scene despite being in the lineup of cadets in the previous shot:

[Season 7, Episode 1: A Little Adventure, 10:10] 

ummmm where the hell is Lance??? Where are the last two cadets in the lineup ???? Where did he go… Lance is just straight up erased from this scene, which makes me think he was supposed to have a bigger role in the conflict between James and Keith. Otherwise, why was he erased if he was just meant to react like Hunk does??

And then I found THIS inconsistency, that places Lance on the Garrison side of the table rather than the Voltron side, that I also posted a while ago on tumblr:

[Season 7, Episode 10: Heart of the Lion, 03:13 ; 03:35]

Here we see the Garrison Officers all on one side with the MFEs behind them, and on the other side we have Team Voltron, just like the last time they had a meeting. But what I find strange is that... Lance is sitting on the side of the Garrison and Veronica is sitting on the side of Team Voltron... I found this very odd, because wouldn't it make more sense to have Lance and Veronica switch places?? Why is Lance sitting next to Sam on the Garrison side instead of on the Team Voltron side??

I started growing very suspicious, because, given what I found of edits in Knights of Light that frequently placed Lance away from Keith, this felt very much like they put him on the Garrison side to avoid placing him next to Keith... usually Voltron is very purposeful with the placement of characters. Why would they go so far to avoid placing Lance next to Keith?? unless it had a deeper meaning ???

And it's even more suspicious, because the next time they're in a meeting in the same episode, Lance is on Team Voltron's side as usual, but this time he's placed next to Allura...

[Season 7, Episode 10: Heart of the Lion, 10:57]

Actually... several characters look like they're downright copy pasted from the first frame... such as the MFE's and Romelle and Iverson and General Sanda and Hunk.... So their positions around the table are pretty much set, are meant to be consistent to the point that the animators can just copy paste the characters every time they have a meeting, so it's even more strange that Lance would deviate from this in the previous scene. That the animators would go through that extra effort to draw him sitting somewhere else.

and look where Veronica is sitting:

[Season 7, Episode 10: Heart of the Lion, 11:28]

Right next to Sam, where Lance sat in the last meeting scene.

We know that Season 7 was edited, because of this podcast, where the showrunners JDS and LM talk about having to amend a few things to Shiro and Adam's story to create plausible deniability. They had to change their apartment to the Garrison's common lounge as well as some of their dialogue to be more general and platonic. But we still see remnants of the original scene, for example here:

[Season 7, Episode 1: A Little Adventure, 16:52]

When Shiro enters the common lounge area, the camera zooms in on all of his trophies and medals, as well as a picture of him and Adam, all because it relates to his and Adam's dialogue. But why would Shiro's personal belongings, such as his achievements and personal pictures, be in the common lounge of his workplace, instead of his private home?? if it was his office, I'd understand (even though Shiro's rank isn't high enough to constitute having his own office)... but a common area?? Well, because this common area was originally supposed to be the kitchen of his and Adam's shared apartment, just as JDS and LM said in the podcast. This is also why we don't see any other characters around the "common area" during their conversation, because it was supposed to be in the privacy of their own home.

This example is an instance where the original story kinda seeps through the attempts at covering it up, due to orders from "higher up", and it tells us that there may be more attempts throughout the season. Well, as I said, I already found two instances, the ones above with Lance. These are two instances now that Lance is removed from Keith's proximity in season 7 alone, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. So, I started wondering if there were other instances of this, other inconsistencies that either remove Lance from the scene or place him away from Keith.

Well...

pokemon it would be fun to send to hisui with ingo (long ass post because i also explain why i want to send them to hisui, bear with me here):

his chandelure (self explanatory, ingo says himself in game that he knows she'd help guide people through the highlands alongside him; i dont think the clans know what a chandelier is, almost everyone's reaction to her is what tf is that thing; ghost type shenanigans with iscan and sabi; chandelure and lady sneasler gossip buddies; chandelure loves tangrowth for being able to make ingo go to bed in a way that's safe to do more than one day in a row; ingo and chandelier's connection could let him remember more??)

his haxorus (massive intimidating dragon type with axe blades coming out of its face standing next to a mysterious, strange and boldly dressed warden with glowing eyes and facial hair that almost matches the pokémon's mouth blades. they reek of power. the moment someone works up the courage to approach them, they are both incredibly polite and the dragon begs you for head scritches; i think haxorus and lady sneasler would be best friends.)

emmet's eelektross ("these are the wardens of the highlands, they tend to lord electrode and lady sneasler" "oh so the one with the electric partner is warden to lord electrode and the one with the poison partner is warden to the poison type-" "no."; melli and ingo get along better because they both can see how the other has some respect for their noble; i love eelektross; also having his brother's pokemon could jog his memory more; silly electric noodle guy; emmet and chandelure are stuck together doing whatever they're doing, could be eeby deebied elsewhere in the same position, could be looking for ingo together, either way very fun)

one of emmet's joltiks (ingo wasn't aware he even had a joltik on him; as soon as he's lucid enough to notice, the joltik gets named stowaway; taking care of this little menace requires ingo to remember a lot of his pokemon knowledge more quickly, ends up going to the highlands to see lord electrode and the voltorblings fairly often to keep her fed. once again i'm making melli and ingo closer than canon; eventually she evolved into a galvantula, but for now she is a very innocent looking ball of chaos no one quite knows how to deal with; main reason ingo decides to use pokeballs before he really remembers that he's used to using them)

no offense to the rest of his pokemon but i think they'd come across better as just there to help out and chill instead of strong and competitive as they really are. they'd all be nice to send with ingo so he's got a buddy and something to remember his home by. garbodor would be reallllly weird to everyone there and melli would respect the poison typing, klingklang would be a little out of place as a clan warden's partner, but that's about it. if any of yall absolutely love the idea of sending other pokemon to hisui with ingo that would be super duper cool but this is all i got

I ADOREEEE HOW YOU COLOR ALL YOUR DESIGNS do you have any tips for picking colors? :)

(also how do the [emoji] anon things work)

AHH THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! honestly i dont. Know how to explain my color picking process all too well? i suggest looking at art with colors you really like and trying to figure out why you like it, that helped me a lot :P

People do emoji anon things as signoffs, basically a way of identifying anons without revealing your blog ^^

hiiii just saw ur post that’s so cute so here i am asking for help i see across many posts to pretend ive shifted to assume and affirm even if i dont “wake up” there because the 3D is just lagging so does that mean I don’t attempt anymore when I go to bed? do I just fall asleep or like what do i do i also always expect like few affirmations and boom jump cut to my dr is that wrong?

Hii love! I totally get where you’re coming from. So here’s how I understand it, and what helped me:

A lot of people say “assume you’ve shifted” or “the 3d is just lagging” because it helps train your mind to live from your DR mindset now. It doesn’t mean you stop trying at night or give up the practice! It just means that while the physical world (3d) might still look the same, internally you’re already living as if you’re there, so it’s more about trusting your shift than chasing it.

At night, you can still do your method (like affirmations, visualizing, etc.) but don’t look for the “jump cut.” That expectation can actually block you. Instead, fall asleep knowing: “It’s done. I’m already there, I just haven’t caught up to it fully yet in this physical view.”

Think of it like ordering something online. Once you order it, you don’t keep re-ordering it every night, you just know it’s on the way, even if it hasn’t arrived on your doorstep yet.

I hope I somehow was able to explain it to you 💕🙏🏻

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

[foxdraakkin]

I am not sure we disagree, since I agree that it would not be reasonable to expect everyone to tag, but I do think its reasonable to ask so that people who Can will be aware that it would be helpful and they can choose to do that if they want to. If you mean its unreasonable to ask at all, then we do disagree.

And yeah ive seen that, it really bothers me when people cross tag everything like that, (like, if its about otherkin it shouldnt be cross tagged otherhearted if otherhearted isnt mentioned, it makes it impossible to find otherheart stuff). I also know its not possible to stop people from doing that for reach, but i think its reasonable to ask people to stop and explain ways its harmful, (like people shouldnt be tagging nonphysical nonhuman as physical, esp bc physical community is smaller and that will make it harder to find proper posts.) Then people who didnt realize it was harmful may stop, even if some people still wont care. I think theres a difference in *asking* people to do something and *expecting* them to do it.

I heard from someone they got harsh pushback from making a request that made them want to leave the community. From what was said, it sounded like they were being harassed, but I admit I did not see everything that was said myself, and I cant check because the post was deleted. From my understanding, people were mad at them for even asking, which I think was unfair. But again, Its totally possible I misunderstood the situation, because I only saw how the person reacted, not what everyone said to them.

And I understand why you are distrustful of that. This person seemed very respectful of physical nonhumans so I wouldnt think they would misrepresent things, but I have seen what was clearly a vent not even talking to the person taken as harassment from the physical nonhuman community before, which is actually how I first found the physical nonhuman community and unfollowed some alterhuman bloggers and followed some physical nonhumans instead bc I saw they were being misrepresented and didnt appreciate that.

And I want to be clear that I am not speaking for the person whoes post I saw, I dont know them and didnt want to speak on them specifically too much it just became relevant to explaining why I responded the way that I did.

feel like some folks resistant to simple fact that … yes , lack of boundary between " realities " can massively trigger and destabilise some folks , but so can enforcement of those boundaries for others .

this is not case of folks who simply want to la-di-da pretend everything is magical and fantastical , who need for someone to say " go play that game in another room " .

this is case of folks who can not handle any attempts to enforce what " should " talk about , think , or experience - and folks who might not be able to tell where these lines start and end . for any of these folks , even requests that seem simple like " please tag " … not actually simple at all , as require one to step back and analyse every word , every thought , even whole identity . and that is just . not . feasible .

this kind of thing is just as much capable of destabilise mental state and shatter world , not " less severe " or " lesser of two evils " - just as bad , to different target of folks .

zones where folks uphold boundaries , and zones where folks discard , must both exist for everyone to choose from - and have personal responsibility to avoid other zone , rather than try to convince those folks to join this zone .

do you think operator & drifter treat their warframes wildly differently?

somewhat insufficient TLDR: i think the operator and drifter are emotionally attached but in vastly, strikingly different ways, and it manifested very, very differently too.

in operator's case, it isn't that they dont *care*, but they know how durable a warframe is. they know they can take one hell of a hit, and they'll be okay because that warframe takes the brunt of it (albeit with some phantom pain if the damage is bad enough). theyre less comfortable outside the confines of those large, bulky war machines because they know they're ultimately safe. those warframes can take hits. they cannot. the operator knows they were people, but they never met those people before the tragedy. besides... a lot of them really are just empty shells. they're hardly the people they once were, especially since they recreated those warframes from blueprints. don't get me wrong, they do remember the anguish of the originals - they were there, they lived it, and they still have empathy for them... but the operator knows the limits of every warframe like the back of their hand - they can maneuver however they want, they can take hits, they can run into armies and not be too afraid because they (as in the operator and the warframe this time) be fine. even if the warframe is damaged, they can fix the damage, so no harm done.

but drifter on the other hand? at first i think they never really realised the power they had. in their mind they were still them, just running, rolling on the occasion, it took them ages to maneuver those things *properly*, and probably only ever really learned with the operator's guidance. they would not let a warframe take a hit, not because they felt empathy for it (at least not a lot, last i checked you kind of need at least *some* to have effective transference?) but because they were so used to walking around vulnerable. yknow, not inside a killing machine. but what would've really solidified the difference was after they went to 1999. sure, hearing that these things used to be people is one thing, but at the end of the day, to drifter, they're still just machines. drifter never got to experience what the tenno did, they never had to deal with reaching into their freshly scarred minds to ease their anger, sorrow, fear, rein them in like the terrified animals they were turning into and hush their cries with understanding - they only knew the dead inside remnants... but it's an entirely other thing when you go to the past and see the people who were hurt. you meet them and you get to know them, become their best friends - maybe even date one of them - and it hit drifter like a fuckin' freight train. they have this entirely different view on warframes from that cold perspective they had at first. they weren't just war machines. those are people. every time they go into the head of those machines, they're looking through the eyes of *people.* people who had families and desires and hobbies, things they looked forward to, entire futures ahead of them that were snuffed out. people who were scared, people who didn't know what was happening. people who knew what was happening, who lived in fear knowing they weren't able to stop it... people who lived in fear of losing themselves. and i think it hit drifter a lot harder than they'd ever admit.

but thats not to say one of them is more attached than the other - both of them care deeply about their warframes. it's just that, they have different ways of looking at them. after all their experiences were so vastly different, it'd be impossible to look at them the same way.

(too lazy to type it out all over, but i have an example in the tags i think kinda helps pull it together more)
