ok hi hughnation . my harry du bois system rant . if this post breaches containment let me preface w we Are a system and no one's experience is universal love and pease on earth.

also im gonna use two things here: Harry* (to refer to how the system presents itself to singlets as one cohesive unit) and harry (the alter/cohost)

SO LIKE. stares at harry and the skills. i do not think they have 1 singular clear host. theres harry and then a few cohosts (this changes depending on what u pick as the signature skill) and it's usually a good 2 people in front and 3 ish more shoulder surfing at any given time (idk the medical term for when ur not in front but u are observing weve just always called it shoulder surfing)

i shouldn't even need to elaborate on this but Half-Light is a trauma holder. a good portion of the passive half light checks are fight-or-flight responses to situations that. Do not need them. thats a trauma response babey, probably stemming from the 15th Indotribe days.

(skip this paragraph to avoid s/a mention) also, depending on the route you play, the dolores dei dream Heavily implies that Harry* had severe intimacy problems even before they got together. and the way everyone in the system talks about intimacy and sex is. Not healthy beyond the point of "bi guy so deep in the closet". esp on the intimacy front. when talking to Lilienne, there is a passive Suggestion check that says "You dont have to be guarded right now." implying the Entire Rest Of The Game he is guarded as hell. with everyone, except maybe a few small moments with Kim. make of that what u will.

it is also VERY evident that Harry* has childhood trauma. he grew up in a wartime hospital (almost guaranteed to see some fucked up shit there) and had polio as a kid. (being deathly sick is traumatic. obviously). id also like to point out how instead of being one subject, pain threshold and endurance are two separate alters. implying a need to be able to separate those things to function and survive (ie being a child in a wartime hospital with polio. based on the triage system the soldiers were probably the first priority, and Harry* proves in martinaise he has a lot of experience having to keep going while sick, putting Pain Threshold and Endurance and symptom holders, probably)

and there's also a very unique situation with Electrochemistry. they probably formed to deal with addiction. but no one in the system ever learned the proper way to deal with it, making it knowledge no one has, and making Electrochemistry massively self destructive to themselves and the system as a whole. if u do a sober playthrough tho, they start to chill out.

and then theres shivers. who is weird as hell. i didn't exactly understand what her place in the system was until i read a post interpreting Harry* as a figure directly tied to the Pale (which is controlled by faith). take the church raid for instance. Harry* destroyed those peoples faith and in response, a swallow formed. joyce also, in contrast, describes Harry* as a reflection of the city. if Harry* is in fact directly tied to the Pale, then Shivers makes complete sense. she's there to act as a filter between Palefuckery and the human brain. having that kind of premonition unfiltered would make anyone crazy suicidal and a little unhinged. ESPECIALLY if all he was getting was doom saying shit for so long (which is what is implied based off the convo with Idiot Doom Spiral)

so yea. harrier du bois is a system

im not gonna go thru ever single alter but if u have questions abt what we think of specific ones PLS send us an ask

someone remind me to give my harry du bois system rant tomorrow

I reread a fanfic WIP from start of December 2022 so now you all get a random excerpt 🫶 I got almost 1.2k words at the time and then deflated my energy rip

Aspertia Trio my beloved and not-so-subtle Hugh x Nate/GreySkyShipping (everyone knows they're each other's crush)

[boyfrillish]

Me: what if I write Nate and Hugh visiting one of the Battle Cafés in Galar for a date

Me, moments later: Leon as one of his first initiatives as Chairman invites Nate to Galar for some event between the Galar and Unova leagues with exhibition matches and whatnot, and Hugh accompanies him

[boyfrillish]

Since forever I want to do something with the "lost pet (pokémon) and the other person finds it/looking for it together" kind of scenario again but there's so much to decide. starting already which bois (can't I have with all?). much to brainstorm about

like, one scenario I think about is HopVic, Hop looking for the family's Purrloin and it happens to go to Victor's house. And I guess it's one of the many possible things that can happen in the backstory lore I have for them. man I love thinking of so many alternate ways or whatever LMAO

In a related thought, I want to have a cute scene of Hau and Elio running into each other because their Pichus are being excited

...which I guess is one of many ways for the Pichu/Pikachu/Raichu playdate scenario I've been wanting with these two since forever lol

[boyfrillish]

On the train earlier, shuffle blessed me with Speed of Love aka THE song of HughNate (the OG, the eternal, the forever, the everything) and HopVic (also the forever everything)

And I realised how it's also fitting KieFlo

Tagged by @brainshock-alpha – thanks! c:

Last song: Celestial by Ed Sheeran. Feels.

Favourite colour: red, blue, purple. They're a set to me and have so, so many lovely shades

Currently watching: at this point, nothing I guess 😅

Last movie/tv show/etc: That would be Paldean Winds! Loved it, definitely recommend it

Spicy/savoury/sweet?: all three are great, but my absolute favourite thing is the combination of sweet + salty

Relationship status: :)

Current obsession: that would still be Pokémon lol specifically, I'm happily rotating between SwSh (HopVic main), B2W2 (HughNate main) and SV (Kieran/Florian main). I've played a lot of Violet since November and Indigo Disk was Very Catered To Me, so it's been living in my head these last ~2 months, but the other two are definitely still in my head rent free too lol.

Last google search: I'm pretty sure it was to find information on whether the buses were going or not in the glaze and snow weather we had recently, haha

tagging: today I tag any followers who would like to. No pressure, but if you think it would be fun, go ahead and say I tagged you!

[boyfrillish]

Sometimes I think about how Hop’s family has a pet Purrloin, then I remember about Hugh and his sister’s Purrloin, and I think about how they both have purple on them and are shouty to some degree and— yeah.

[boyfrillish]

I’ve totally reverted back to my 2013/14 self crying in my feels over pkmn bw/b2w2 and especially HughNate FSFDHSDFH yelling all over my twitter yesterday and writing a fic of them for the first time in 8 years and I’m living, it’s totally selfindulgent like all the fic I wrote for them back in the day and I’m living

[boyfrillish]

So tonight I finally started playing pkmn sword because I cleared UltraMoon recently and I’ve been SO excited to start, already sensed that Victor is at the high tiers of favorite and Hop/Victor is OTP and what can I say, I’m about 2.5 hours in after playing pretty much without pause, and my sense was RIGHT and I’m having a great time so far, I’m enjoying it immensely, I love everything about it and I couldn’t stop giggling pretty much the whole time (well, through all the events at least dgsfdgf)

[boyfrillish]

I haven't written since saturday but,,, they,,, (*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡💙❤️

[boyfrillish]

Okay but all my Unova (esp HughNate) feels also got me thinking again about my wayyy old klance AU where they meet at a con cosplaying nate and hugh and they immediately hit it off and being all cute and like they’re dating. Then later they meet again at school and are both pining idiots, thinking all the affection was just being in character for their otp but really they’re falling in love. Their pour friends have to listen to their pining and peptalk them to just confess already

[boyfrillish]

OMFG my head is super fried from lack of sleep but I just wrote over 900 words in a bit over an hour ADGAADFGADh the power of the silliest of silly fluffs, silly fluff of The OTP as personal bday treat from me for me ✨🥰💜❤
