on fictional victims

(mouthwashing spoilers!)

so this is sort of like my 'on genya safin' post (which you can read here: https://www.tumblr.com/xblackmariahx/766319845622038528/on-genya-safin) but with more characters so yay!

so, as i said in that post, genya is my favorite not because of her trauma, but because she overcame it. however, recently, i got really into mouthwashing, and as you can probably tell by my profile picture, my favorite character is anya. anya didn't achieve great things or poison her abuser or even live to get justice like genya did, but i still like her. so why's that?

i think, looking back, i really do just like victims, no matter their ending (as long as they're well-written, ofc). everyone has different endings, and i think it's relieving to see that your story doesn't have to end one way.

let's take inej ghafa. did inej kill her abusers? no. did she get justice properly? no. however, she still fought men like them, and took down the brothel that gave her such trauma. sure, i doubt she even knows the names of the men that raped her in the menagerie. i doubt she even remembers all their faces. but she did live to fight, and that's an interesting ending.

i think genya safin is what every victim hopes to achieve. she achieved great things in spite of her scars, she got justice, and she was able to confront her abuser. she's an all around inspiring character, and i think that's an ending everyone hopes for.

and then there's anya. anya didn't do any of that. in fact, anya killed herself before even seeing jimmy die. i think something about that, about seeing a character who didn't achieve this great things and overcome her trauma, is comforting too. in my opinion, characters like these sort of say that it's okay to be hurt because of your trauma. you're going to hurt. you're going to be scarred, and bruised, and you'll hurt, and that's okay.

i guess what i'm trying to say is just flat out advice: try to be genya, but it's okay to be anya.

[o-birdseed-o]

Enjoy this little Ghostie sketch I did today

It's a little blurry but that's fine. Also he has an unintentional baby face, but it kinda fits.

[fox-guardian]

Sorry if this comes off wrong, really not my intention

But you zombie au makes me think a bit of warm bodies. Mooostly your bit talking about how the infected are still aware enough to want to crave connection with each other.

Cause that's kinda what warm bodies is about. It's more a romance story but the overall theme is basically using the trope of zombies and infected to represent disconnection. From yourself, society, the people you care about. (More or less)

And that kinda stuff always hits me a lot when people use the zombies trope like that or include bits of that in their stories especially as someone who frankly struggles so much with it. Namely dissociation and chronic pain.

So when you mentioned in your au that people are still aware and seek out some sort of connection in some way im just very big teary eyed over it especially over the fact that like. Idk. The whole. You are suffering. You are in pain. You are so scared. You just want someone to care about you.

Idk it's got me thinking about that whole thing again and augh. Personally one of my favorite tropes.

HEEHEE I'm glad you like that aspect!!

I decided to make the infection work like that when I was thinking about curly's own infection and how it'd work for the narrative. I didn't really like the idea of him completely losing his humanity and there being a chance of him snapping and attacking the crew or whatever, mostly because of how he's treated in-game after the crash? He gets dehumanized, most notably by jimmy, treating him as either a sobbing inconvenience or a symbol, and his appearance haunts him. He is treated, in some ways, as a kind of monster, when he is just.... a severely injured and disabled man. And he doesn't have agency and can't make any choices for himself.

While zombie!curly isn't in quite as severe a state, the gang does still treat him to some degree as not entirely human. He's treated as a ticking time bomb of cannibalistic wrath, and a harbinger of rotting doom should anyone get too close unprotected. But he still has more agency than canon curly does, at least. For a while he can still speak, and emote through facial expressions, and he still has some use of his hands and feet, even if he is weakened. He's in agony, sure, but it's not quite "complete immobility" levels. He has some options. I didn't want to take away what agency he does have by letting there be an actual chance of him turning into a monster later on, fulfilling the fears the rest of the crew have about him.

Also something something "our worst moments don't make us monsters" something "when does it make me monstrous" (<- magnus archives reference) curly's darker decisions later in the au's story are his own and not dictated by a zombie infection, just his own anger and pain.

And after deciding on that aspect of the story, the rest of the zombies' behavior stuff came p naturally!

Tldr: it didn't feel right to make a character who already lacks so much agency in a story about what makes a monster Lose their agency in a way that makes them inherently monstrous in this au, and that led the way for the more.... sympathetic I guess? zombie behavior!

man thank GOD i am not the stinkiest man on this ship 🙏🙏 idk much about jimmy but he needs the washing machine more than my uniform does

[eavangeek]

Did you play with a Mourn Watcher Rook? Because I’ve been obsessed with the idea of this young cocky punk returning home and bragging about bagging the super hot professor everyone’s always day dreaming about while said Professor’s face turns red with embarrassment

I had not! I thought I was gonna, but then I stared playing a LoF. And he's got a handful of gushing dialogue about how he always admired the treasure hunters.

Anon I need you to walk with me b/c Emmrich bagging a LoF just makes him look even more like a magpie. Here's this hot, gold covered, thrill seeking, wildly inappropriate adrenaline junkie. Why are they here? Who is that? It's fucking Professor Volkrain new partner. That's peak mid life crisis right there.

Just a little vent blog that maybe other people would also find useful to let off steam when talking about Foah, Finn or Noah. No hate allowed, just unpopular opinions.

how would lita think if cali just captured ppl and made them fight to death for her own enjoyment..

She’d probably try to explain to her that it’s wrong but eventually lean into it cus she’s so used to the chaos by now 😭

“bb no… you can’t do that..!”

“b-but… fun..? 🙁”

“okay, maybe just once…”
