#rasta beast(for a little bit)

you guys are cool

*gives you my everhood au ideas*

spoilers for after arm getting so its after the cut

its very long i apologise

context: at this point, reds killed the forest spirit, the mushrooms, slim jim shroom (the sprunkel fight), the maze monster and gold pig

(this is literally just bc during a playthrough when i got to this point i figured "...yeah, this would hurt them mentally." so i MADE it hurt ;3 ) (they killed gold pig out of spite, they were the only person red WANTED to kill not counting maze monster)

they couldnt bring themself to kill their friends so they quit. they didnt let the lost spirits know that they were quitting the murder rampage, they just did. ofc the lost spirits weren't happy about this, so they started to 'punish' red for this. they appeared in their dreams, *fucked up* their dreams, and every so often one of them would appear and just...lecture them, using their mental state against them, so this hurt

nobody alive knows about them, not even blue

reds become a lot more protective, meaning theyll get mega pissed if someone hurts blue, green learned the hard way (they decided to prank red into thinking theyd killed blue (dumbass) and red almost killed them they were so upset)

a few weeks? go by and red decides theyve had enough of constantly fearing that they'll hurt their friends so they decide 'What's the point of keeping this stupid arm if all it does is hurt people?' and casually drop it into the incinerator where it burns to a crisp

the lost spirits did NOT like that.

(zoom in to read details but im explaining it more so uh) the lost souls got a lot more direct in how they were making red regret this. they appeared in their dreams *every night* instead of just when they felt like, and warped them more and more until red would wake up terrified

the spirits started following them everywhere, always just out of sight. every time red's seperate from the rest of the group, they appear, multiple at once.

this ended up driving red mad, and they go bezerk, running away into the Peaceful Forest (peaceful my ass) because theyre so afraid to hurt their friends now that theyre not taking any chances

because theyre so unstable they act like a scared animal, if they cant run theyll attack. literally the only person they wont try to hurt is blue, because even in their madness they know they care about them too much to hurt them

after a month and couple weeks of looking for them, rasta beast finds them in the forest eventually, very much scuffed. red does the whole regular run away thing, until they get cornered. a small (physical, not dance) fight breaks down, rasta fighting back in self defense, until they manage to knock some sense into red. for the first time in a while, red's comforted

this does nothing for their fractured mind, but it gives rasta beast a *little* more protection, because they can snap red out of it for even just a couple minutes

rasta beast goes back and tells the others (everyone hangs around prof.orange's lab cause protection) and prof.orange wants to get red into the lab maybe to study them or something so he sends green and purple mages to get them cause theyre magical and shit

after a mad goose chase the two lose red, but green finds some gnomes (the psychadelic ones) and asks them to get red high out of their mind so they and purple can bring them to orange

(little about the gnomes in this au, they can emmit pheromones that stimulate the mind like weed does because there is NO WAY red wasnt high for 'you want gnomes'. also whenever red is high theyre too overwhelmed to do anything so they eventually just flop over and see god until it wears off, which is why green got the gnomes)

it works and now purple and green are bickering about the morality of the drugging while dragging a practically passed out red to the lab

(ive come up with everything until this point, ill make a part 2 whenever i add to this)

(oh yeah and i forgot to mention but prof.orange has a machine and using it seperated pink and red so the vessel is sentient and the soul lives, orange also made a machine that translates some of red' thoughts into audible sound, they were so fucking happy when they heard their voice they cried)

Whoops I started developing that au

I know Frog would be the Scrybe Of The Dead and Purple Mage would be the Scrybe Of Magicks; Rasta Beast could be the Scrybe Of Beasts but that might be a bit on the nose and also I don't think they would turn their friends into little guys, and I have absolutely no idea who would be the Scrybe Of Technology

I don't have much else yet

I now want to put my thoughts down on the Everhood plot. Spoilers obviously.  Everhood actually handles a pretty difficult subject... the subject of immortality and the fear of death, even when you have achieved immortality.  The game doesn’t make this very obvious at first, it is actually a pretty huge twist. Shortly before Red finds their arm, they can find a note about what Everhood is... Everhood is a realm of immortality. Everyone there has been immortal and apparently they have it been for eons and eons.  Right after Red gets their arm back, tutorial frog appears with a request... to kill everyone and free them from the shackles of immortality, because they are the only one having the power to do it.  You might think at first... “But I don’t want to kill anyone.” and the game even gives you a route where you can decided to be pacifist... but... you only upset tutorial frog with it. And again they ask you to do the right thing. So when you load up the game again, you start to notice little things... “Time is only temporary.” A thing that gets said when you inspect a clock in Midnight Town. At the race track  there is a cinema. There is only static on. Flan is there and tells you about their favourite part. It feels like a joke, but when you think about it... they have seen everything that there was there so see and even memorized the static and watched at it in bored entertainment.  Green Mage’s endless corridor in which each tally mark is a year. Judging that you need two real life hours to cross it, you can do the math about how long it has been. That they fear the Mirror of Truth...  Blue having memory issues...  So, you decide to help them out. And kill them. And there are the ones who are euphoric about it, like the Forest Spirit. Then there are the ones who resist, like Rasta Beast or Purple Mage or Gold Pig and try their best to stop you. Sometimes inbetween even your cursor has enough and fights you. But you will still stand tall and complete the grim deed... some characters are neutral about it, some characters are happy about it, some characters put up a big fight.  And in the end, when everyone is dead, you will put into a reconcilation with the ones who have been wronged. One dialogue bit got me there... “Why did you take my life? I was happy. I really was happy. I was happy? I don’t know if I was happy... But you didn’t tell me I WAS GONNA DIE.” That really makes you think... even when you are the only one being able to end someone’s suffering... are you really in the right to take their life even when they have would preferred to suffer?  At this time, the game gets really meta and we meet Pink, the real protagonist of the game. I actually don’t really know who Red is. Is Red a vessel for the player or a vessel for Pink? Maybe both, because as Red Pink could be controlled with ease, as when they left the doll body, they needed to blindfold themselves and never shut up when you control them.  I would say the player is an entity in the game as well... each time someone calls out to the human, they call out to us, the player.  Maybe Pink is fused with a gem? I think the mages are, when they die they lose a gem and it breaks before their form vanishes...  Anyway, in the end, Pink has to end it all... even their own life. They are scared about it... even refuse your input until they accept that it has to happen.  The song after that is called “Euthanasia Rollercoaster”. Youtube comments actually told me about that this is a hypotethical rollercoaster, that shall be able to kill a patient while they experience poor pleasure. That is pretty much how this fight feels. The songs breaks down halfway through it’s duration, getting more and more glitchy as the world around Pink breaks apart.  And after it is done, after it’s over, the whole cast finds themselves in the waiting room. And they have never been that EXCITED in eons about something! They are finally done with their immortality, they finally can move on and they learned that they never should have feared death all along. The game actually tells you then that you can’t follow them anymore, but don’t worry human, your time will come. While this is kinda black humour, it also made me feel a bit better about thinking about my own death. It has to happen anyway, so why don’t we look at it with a more positive outlook? I probably would have some more things to say, but that should it be for now. These are just my personal thoughts, feel free to give your two cents on it. I love analyzing game stuff.
