“I’d like to play you another song about suicidal depression. It’s about – if you are a certain type of person – me – . . . uh, you hear about somebody who did something horrible and drastic and you feel bad, but there’s a part of you that goes, ‘what, that’s, now I know, now I recognize my kind, because he did that.’ So this is about a guy who did a terrible thing and he couldn’t live with the memory of it, and so he went and did a worse thing, and it’s called ‘Cry for Judas.’”
- John Darnielle, frontman of the Mountain Goats

OH. BTW. DUDE. i will probably b so busy for the next whatever amount of time & not have time or spoons 2 answer comments etc (ILY BTW. ur so nice 2 mee. :( ) but. I WOULD LOVE UR TERRIBLE HORRIBLE VIRION BACKSTORY IDEAS!!!!!!! eyes emoji..... i've been purposefully leaving all of their backstories & everything but the specific trigger event very vague bc i wanna bounce it back n forth with u. so. terrible fucked up nhw ant laser????? 👉👈
YES OK. OK ok so ive been distracted and have not fully thought any of this out so this is ENTIRELT gonna be disjointed random thoughts I got solely from that one little bit in the fic HOWEVER. it's mostly about virions dad + the greats. hear me out. pain and suffering upon virion sol
(putting this under a cut for vyncent backstory spoilers . whiskey i know you're not there yet but you're CLOSE. just in case though)
SO LIIKKE. the way I understand his backstory in pd. his dad was the leader of (?) the adventuring party w the greats. vyncent followed them on one adventure when he wasnt supposed to/they didnt know he was there until too late. he watched his dad betray them to get some sort of power from the lich and the whole. portal brain fusion thing happened and his dad got turned into the phylactery. you know this.
TURNING THIS INTO NHW from what you've already said about the greats. they were an independent hero team probably in another place. his dad was still like. maybe the leader ? but they were all friends n stuff, so virion as a kid just knew them as Dad's Cool Friends or the way I like to think abt it . like how sometimes ur parents have friends that you call aunt/uncle even when you're not related. whatever. so he super looked up to them and wanted to be like them when he grew up u know like kid stuff!!!!!!!!!! he sneaks out to follow them on some sort of patrol/mission or whatever. and watches his dad betray/kill the other greats.
THIS IS WHWRE. I AM LESS CONFIDENT. but now that I fucking know that capes can CHANGE THEIR NAME AND IDENTITY APPARENTLY. (fucking glaring at defiant) unless u have plans to make the lich an actual character. what if his dad's new . villain name or whatever is the lich. or something. narrative OHHHHH SHIT moment. either that or the lich is an actual separate character who is a villain who caused the betrayal through some sort of promise of power or mind control. maybe he's like their nemesis or something. I DUNNO. HOW ARE WE FEELING. IS THIS NOTJING. Just like !!! that one line about his dad being a murderer and knowing the greats are dead made me immediately go OH NO THOSE TWO THINGS ARE CONNECTED. UH OH!!!!!!!

speaking of cars I gotta order rotors so bad because my car currently SCREAMS every time I go below 20km/h without lightly riding the brakes and my main motivator is honestly embarrassment

BRO I JUST FINISHED WATCHING A FULL PLAYTHROUGH OF BRAMBLE: THE MOUNTAIN KING AND HOLY FUCKING SHIT BATMAN
THIS GAME
THIS GAME
IT IS SO GODDAMN PRETTY. INSTANTLY ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE GAMES BOTH IN VISUAL AND IN STORY. THE CHARACTER DESIGNS??? GODDAMN THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'RE STRAIGHT FROM STORYBOOKS. AND NOT PRETTY NEW STORY BOOKS. OLD ONES. ANCIENT ONES. ONES PASSED DOWN THROUGH CENTURIES. ITS FUCKING BADASS.
THE WAY THE STORY SWITCHES SO FAST YET EFFORTLESSLY FROM BEAUTIFUL WONDERFUL WHIMSEY TO STRAIGHT UP TERRIFYING IS SOMETHING I CAN ONLY DREAM OF ONE DAY LEARNING CAUSE DAY-UM.
AND THE SOUNDTRACK. LORDY THE SOUNDTRACK.
ITS GONNA BE ON REPEAT FOR ME FOR A WHILE, FOLKS.
THIS FUCKING GAME
anyway uhhhhh you guys should all go play it or watch it or enjoy it however cause hot DAMN its really fucking good :3
