#moira experiments

[half-developed-frontal-lobe]

Okay so I WAS KINDA RIGHT about a couple things, like Phreaks crime being either stopped by Helix the news is constantly reporting these events. How it's gonna look that Helix failed to secure an area in Oasis and how a highly secure Oasis project was stolen.

What I wasn't right about was this being one of Moira's experiments, yes, Hazard was willing to inject the isotope into him, but he never went to Moira to have it done by her hand.

Instead, he got illegal cybernetic mods and built an enhancement that could sustain and weaponize the isotope. Which, I think is pretty cool.

Only thing I'm wary about is how this could affect him long term. High exposure to Vanadium is toxic to humans, so maybe something will be brought up about that.

dear americans,

as a polish queer woman and human rights activist, i know exactly how you're feeling right now and what to expect from these elections. i lived through the 2015-2023 regime of pis, a right-wing populist party that divided families in the same way trump did. i’ve experienced the rise of fascism in poland, the influence of far-right parties like konfederacja, and their “santa’s little helpers”—ordo iuris, an ultra-conservative catholic organization (banned in many countries, mind you) that helped enforce a near-total abortion ban and runs anti-queer campaigns in public spaces. i supported the black protests in 2016 as a middle schooler when they first tried to ban abortion. as an adult, i actively participated in the 2020 women’s strike, running from police tear gas daily after they finally passed the ban. i supported friends who faced charges.

i’ve lived through intense homophobia in poland as a queer teen and adult. i survived the first pride march in my hometown, where far-right extremists threw stones and glass at us. i endured the anti-queer propaganda spread by the ruling party in state-owned media. i survived the “rainbow night,” poland’s own stonewall moment in summer 2020, when police arrested around 50 queer activists following the arrest of margo, a nonbinary activist. i survived the "lgbt-free zones," the targeted violence, the slurs from strangers on the street, and the protests i held against queerphobia. it was hard as fuck, but i survived.

but just because i survived, it doesn’t mean others did. many women died because of the abortion ban—marta, justyna, izabela, dorota, joanna, maria, and many others who didn’t survive pis’s draconian anti-abortion laws. milo, kacper, michał, zuzia (she was 12), wiktor, and other queer and trans kids and young adults took their own lives because of the relentless queerphobia.

despite all of this, our experience in poland can serve as a guide now. here are some tips for staying safe and how we, polish queers and women, organized under the regime:

safety first, always. if you know someone who’s had an abortion, no you don’t. if you know someone is trans, no you don’t. if you know people who help with safe abortions, no you don’t—at least not until you know it’s 100% safe to share. if you are queer or have had an abortion, only share this with people you trust fully. most importantly, not everyone has to be an activist just because they’re part of a minority. if it feels unsafe to share that you're queer, trans, etc., then don’t. it doesn’t make you any less queer.

use secure, encrypted messaging like signal for conversations on potentially risky topics, such as queerness, abortion, organizing counter-actions, protests—anything that might be used against you.

stay anonymous online. if you want to research or report something without surveillance, do not use regular internet. get a vpn (mullvad is affordable and reliable), download the tor browser (for both onion and standard links), and if you plan to whistleblow, consider using a riseup email account.

organize and build networks. community is everything now. support each other, foster independence, because your government won’t have your back. set up collectives, grassroots movements. create lists of trusted professionals—lawyers, doctors, etc.—who can offer support.

to lawyers and doctors: please consider pro-bono work. this is what got us through poland’s hardest times. your work will be needed now more than ever.

for protests or risky actions: always write a pro-bono lawyer’s number on your arm with a permanent marker.

“Yes. Stole my own hypothesis and turned it against me.”

“Fascinating. I’d love to meet her.”

“… Ah. So you’re just like her here, aren’t you?”

“I’ll be the judge of that.”

“*Sigh…* unfortunately, you’ve already made it quite obvious.”

i love this old woman and her evil ways

[flowerpup27]

Am playing overwatch and hearing one of Moira's skins give her the ultimate voice line "Submit to your mother" gave me very normal and not at all lewd thoughts....😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

I wanted to give Tim more psychological damage + unique trauma:

So I am making Jack, the younger trophy husband who is also a social pariah in high society because everyone thinks he murdered his wife, Janet Drake and gotten away with it.

They were on the verge of divorce before his coma and her death. Janet's lawyers told all of their mess to an eleven year old kid without any adult supervision. Wtf is wrong with Gotham?

Janet is a rich heiress of the Drake Pharmaceutical/Medical Devices/Biomedical science empire who is forced to attend meetings every few weeks/months in between her real passion, archeology.

Being a fan of Overwatch in the no-lore days was so dire. I had an IRL friend who read the entirety of Don Quixote because she was desperate for Reinhardt lore. I signed up for a gym membership so I could write Brigitte better

Alobby being a long-term thing is good, actually. Having him return within a few episodes diminishes the dramatic rewards. Have them settle into their new lives, and THEN Bobby returns? (Freshly traumatized and fucked up?) That would be better narratively actually! How will they deal with someone they have already grieved and accepted to be dead? It also gives Athena something to figure out (she'd have to go up against the FBI or whoever they were) AND it's gonna lead to tension between her and Bobby.

i agree! don't get me wrong, i do think that this whole bobby 'death' arc is stupid no matter how they spin it, but there's potential to turn it into something really good in the opening episodes of season 9. it has to be related to the opening disaster imo - anything later would be too late, we need it to be fresh still (not so much for the characters as for the audience, i think). having him return at the end of episode 3 and then dedicating some time to him settling back in/figuring out if he wants to go back to work or retire or whatnot/dealing with the fallout of whatever has been happening to him, while also allowing the other characters to come to terms with his return, giving each of them at least a moment with him, would be ideal for me.

i do wish that we as an audience would have received a final little hint. like, how cool would it have been if the very final few seconds of the episode had been a shot of bobby/some mysterious lab/moira the scientist? leave the characters to their grief for now, but give us a little tease of what's to come. but hey, they can do that in the first scenes of 9x01 too, i won't be picky!

Deep diving into Moira and the Oasis also brought to my attention how badly her experiments could effect the image of Helix Securities. Especially with the surveillance in Morocco, we could see some unprecedented imagery of Phreaks and crime, possibly in the new Morocco map that's getting teased.

I imagine that Moira was not only hoping that Helix could benefit from Vanadium ammunition, but also physical experimentation and operations regarding Helix military. Which makes me wonder how Fareeha might respond to a proposal like that.

We know Fareeha is with Overwatch currently, but that doesn't mean she doesn't care about the outcome of her friends at Helix, and I'm hoping there's a voice line between her and Moira that sheds more light.

That being said, Helix's connection with a company of which their experiments are revolting and breaking out might not look good if something like that sort of news gets out to the public eye. It might seem like history repeating itself in some sort of way, if it cannot be contained, it would lead to another Rialto type incident where suspicions on Helix and Oasis arise.

Either way, it's not looking too hot.

The Moira and Angela being ex's HC is funny to me for one reason and one reason alone...

And that is this conversation would have happened after the breakup;

Cassidy: What did I tell you not to do? Angela: Cole, this isn't the time- Cassidy: What did I tell you not to do, Angie?! Angela: *sigh* Date a morally questionable red head. Cassidy: And WHAT did you do? Angela: Date a morally questionable red head.... Cassidy: And what happened. Angela: She screwed everyone over and broke my heart- Cassidy: SHE SCREWED EVERYONE OVER AND BROKE YOUR HEART-

stoję na dworcu w default city i zamiast mojego intercity podjeżdża skład tlk. na dworze 25 stopni, wsiadam do swojego wagonu w którym zaduch taki jakby było z 40. kontaktòw pod siedzeniami nie ma, o działającej klimatyzacji mogę zapomnieć, a numer mojego siedzenia został zdrapany więc zostało mi usiąść na czujaXDDD true polskie pkp experience.

I got this idea of the goddess Moira. She's the goddess of luck, pleasant things, and the arts (especially performing arts). I've never really considered myself a religious person, but convincing myself she exists has actually helped me deal with a lot of my existential dread.

See, Moira controls the tide of good luck and bad luck, peering into the lives of mortals and the greater multiverse and granting boons and banes in equal measure. She doesn't do this because she hates or loves certain people (with the exception of actors on their performing nights, she loves them then), she does it because she finds it entertaining. Reality is a stage for her to mess with through her bending of luck.

Normally that would make things worse I feel, but I, like any self-respecting thespian, get off on the high from being on stage, stripping my soul bare for the audience to witness, so it makes me happy to think that, whatever I'm going through, whatever twisted shit is happening in the world, at least we're putting on a good show for somebody.

That makes me happy.
