The Fall of Joy

Masterpost

An idea that I pray does not happen. I stg Emily better be safe and happy these next two episodes-

Hypothetical Fallen Angel Emily! Because this angst would not leave my brain. It hurts to leave heaven, but she won't be alone. If Emily was cast from heaven, I think the hotel would welcome her with open arms...

Commission me

i'm thinking about wei wuxian

During his time working at Arasaka, Vince lives in a company-issued apartment, obviously, and so far, for VP purposes and such, I've always gone to the Corpo-Plaza apartment for that. I thought, maybe it is a little too fancy, but then again, the view isn't all that great, it's not that high up, and it doesn't even have a bathtub, so, it works xD

I feel like it would kinda fit that Arasaka has their employees close by (iirc, the Counterintel agents gotta be "on call" basically 24/7 in case of an emergency, so even Charter Hill would be pretty far away, Wellsprings might work still, but yes). Also, you have Arasaka Tower right in front of your window and only very flimsy shutters, so you can always be reminded of your work duties and loyalties basically from the comfort of your living room XD

Anyway though, I wondered, how would Vince get to work every day? I don't see him having a car at the time, cause I imagine parking in City Center to be hellish and/or expensive af. Delamain would work, but when Vince still lived in Charter Hill, he and his friends used the metro to get around most times, so I think he might go back to that. So I tried it out, since there's a station nearby, and the closest stop to Arasaka Tower is Memorial Park. The walking to and from the stations also takes up some time though, and so the fastest and most direct way is actually just walking directly xD

So I walked his way to work, and *the shortest* most direct way on foot between Corpo-Plaza apartment and entrance of Arasaka Tower is through the 2023 memorial site. And idk. I love that on multiple levels.

Obviously, it's not gonna be the shortest way for everyone, but imagining that visitors and others who are able to walk to work have to go through the memorial to get in sends a super strong message imo (one of shifting the blame away from themselves completely, as you do as a big evil corporation). Level-design-wise it's *chef's kiss*, too. And storytelling-wise that gives me a whole bunch of new ideas for Vince's and Johnny's already-strained relationship as well xD Like, for a couple of years, twice a day often, Vince has listened to how these vile terrosists killed millions of innocents with their actions, and how Arasaka will never forget about that, etc etc. And then, of all possible people it's *the* terrorist that gets stuck in his head because Arasaka took the "never forgetting" a little too far on too many unethical levels.

With that in mind I feel like all the interactions with Vince and Johnny that revolve around the "terrorist" thing in the beginning have a much stronger impact. If Vince hadn't had that daily walk to work (or if he had had a different background altogether), there really would only be the information Viktor gives on Johnny post-Konpeki-heist. While that works, too, it's not a super deeply ingrained conviction V has, just something their trusted Ripper told them and they just accept as truth (not that Vik would lie, but you get my meaning).

But with Vince, Johnny would actually have to claw his way through years of subtle brainwashing to have Vince stop calling him a terrorist without a purpose deeper than causing death and destruction. And idk... I sometimes just love how little headcanons that start out with no big thoughts behind them ("Where would he live? well, Corpo Plaza apartment maybe, cause that means I don't have to build my own scene for this lil VP idea") lead to bigger and bigger ideas and work really well with what the game provides already xD

I got inspired on a walk recently and decided to make a piece based on a picture I took, and my guy? It took so much effort. But I am so happy with how it turned out. I become more powerful with each day.

Anyway, yeah, just a little scenic piece with Ji-Yeong!

would love it if my weed-smoking downstairs neighbors would smoke their skunk weed on their PATIO in the gorgeous weather today

instead of hotboxing their apartment and thus sending the smell throughout the ENTIRE building

"Why is Chris so weak? It makes no sense-”

Chris is the only non-prophesied witch that we see on a recurring basis throughout the entire show that can handle his powers. Realistically, he’s probably pretty powerful as an upper-level Halliwell witch, but most witches in comparison to the Charmed Ones, the Twice-Blessed Child, and the Ultimate Power are gonna seem weak.

Finally a no client call day 😌😌 let me rot in peace with no makeup and dirty hair while I write the 8294 follow-up emails I’ve been trying to find time to send.

"A-are you here to see the Boss?" Simon stammers the words out in the same nervous manner that he always does, but there's a smile on his face as he speaks. It's a shy smile, so to speak, and it looks as if there's no way he could ever consider that someone possibly wanted to see him, instead.

...At least, that's how it looks. In reality, Simon doesn't care who this stranger is here to see - him, Regina, or anyone else. He doesn't care about the circus or the show - it provides mild entertainment, and he's picked up some helpful skills here, to be sure - but to him, they're only tools to be used for something far more important.

This person doesn't need to know that, though. In his mind, he feels nothing towards them but a dull amusement - the feeling of fooling people with his anxious act is always at least somewhat satisfying. But beyond that is simply disinterest and scorn... hidden behind a mask of meekness.

"I'm afraid she's busy right now... but i-if you have any questions about the show, I might be able to answer them... maybe...?"
