in network effect... it's probably going to be a small moment... but when they're trying to escape the hostile planet with art's crew...

and thiago goes back for seth

like.

these are total strangers. they barely even know art. they know nothing of its crew. they got dragged here entirely against their will. they have absolutely no emotional connection to these people whatsoever, except that they are also people, and they need help, and one of them has fallen behind.

and so thiago goes back to save someone he a) has never met before, b) probably doesn't even know the name of, c) has absolutely no emotional connection to, and d) was basically conscripted into coming into horrible danger to find, when he e) had every reason and excuse not to.

he could have kept running. he was leading the others to safety, he could have leaned on that excuse. he had nothing to gain from going back, and quite possibly very much to lose.

but he went back.

because humans, at our best, are the ones who go back for each other. even when it's objectively stupid. even when there's nothing in it for us.

not everyone will do it, but enough will. enough to be a defining trait of our species: we're the brilliant idiots who run into danger to save the wounded and bring each other out to safety. even if we don't know them. just because they can't get out on their own.

that's why it's such a Big Thing in stories when a character doesn't go back -- because this is ingrained into our dna. we have come this far because we build communities. because we build upon one another. because we go back for our wounded even when it's dangerous and we could have gotten out safely and we don't even know them. that's why it's a marker of an evil person or a horribly fraught ethical situation in stories. because that is not who we are. we are not the ones who leave someone behind.

i just. i love what these books say about the nature of personhood and intelligence and love, but i also love what they say about humanity. we're not all bad. we're not our worst impulses. we are the ones who care about a sentient robot because if it can think, it's not a thing, and it deserves to be treated like a person, even if it doesn't want to be a human.

we are the ones who care. that's what makes us human.

The companions questline is so funny

I show up, get paid to beat up some guy on the street, go into one (1) dungeon for them and next thing I know I am promoted to one of their top guys and am turned into a werewolf

today i decided to take a lil walk after my haircut and i was like "i'll just go down another block on this road" but didn't realize the block system had ENDED on that road. and then i was like "well i don't feel like turning back around, i'll just keep walking til there's a turn" but there were no turns even after over a mile of walking

so i pulled up my phone gps and saw that the two options for getting home were "turn around and walk that shitty road home" (easier but more boring) or "walk farther down this road, go into the public forest, and cut through there to get home" (more fun but more difficult)

and i ended up going with the latter

but i had then realized by the time i was entering the forest that the sun was setting. and my phone battery was getting low.

and my legs were getting tired but i couldn't stop and rest because i needed to be out of the woods before dark and i was cutting it awfully close

so like. irl horror game protagonist simulator.

I imagine the snax prank would feel worst when everyone discovers that turning into one was an actual possibility

Bonus angst if one of them end up perishing during the final conflict

Oh yeah The Journalist and Floofty were on the airship standing next to eachother like this:

There was an apology eventually but only after everyone was able to emotionally recover. Context: 1 2 3

As for that second bit with one of them not making it, that's really funny(?) to suggest because I actually do have an au that i"ll list briefly under a readmore. [OBVIOUS ENDGAME AND POST GAME SPOILERS and TW FOR DEATH]

Alright in the Au Snorpy doesn't make it and Floofty tries to undo what happens via collecting the bugsnax that he popped into and trying to make them pull a snaxsquatch. with some degree of success. based partially on my Headcanon that some bugsnax do have some memories on who they used to be if they recently became deceased or other less common situations.

It's not perfect but it's better than being completely snorpless.

Kinda rude that I, a man who does not want a beard, already has a pretty decent amount of facial hair despite being less than a year on T and yet my friend who does want a bear and has been on T longer than I have doesn't have as much facial hair

I would gladly trade places with him lmao
