#she wants to see where lyney will take the fam but also is going to make him fight like. every step of the way to show conviction in

[venti-death-watch]

arlecchino & venti may both have their own personal views on freedom, but they’re absolutely not the same. idk why i keep seeing people saying they’re so similar

venti’s ideal of freedom isn’t an earned freedom in the way arle’s is. i keep seeing people say it is, but. he wasn’t the one over them? he was support. they decided they wanted freedom on their own, and fought for it. then he chose not to rule over them because they didn’t want him as a ruler like that and wanted to make their own decisions. he’ll help them whenever they’re having trouble, but ultimately, they’re deciding what they want for themselves and doing it. he’s just there to help

arlecchino actively keeps the house of hearth kids in the house and doesn’t let them leave in pain of death/painful memory removal. she may talk about freedom, but she’s also making them decide between potential death via her blade or potential death via the memory stuff if they want to leave. she’s the one actively deciding what freedom means for them, and deciding that they need to fight & be strong for it. yeah, she says she likes conviction over strength, but that’s only true like, ideologically. she let the trio off because she’s interested in their development and wants to see where lyney takes the house. she still makes them fight for their choices/potential freedoms

neither of them are bad characters or anything, and quite honestly i prefer arle being morally darker than the others. it has much better storyline follow through than ei’s. but whyyyy are you trying to defang her. she’s more fun this way

GROUNDCORE and bastardcore for wrio, joyride for clayman and clown fam!! :D

KJFHEWKJFE THANK YOU!!! double whammy!!!

🪨Groundcore🪨 ~ What would your F/O do if you became a worm? (Wrio 🐺)

dkjfdfshakd he would take super good care of me and pull every string he has to try and get me turned back. And he has a lot of them-

🖕Bastardcore🖕 ~ Are there any “flaws” of your F/O that you find endearing? (Wrio 🐺)

This man is so flawless...if I have to choose it's that he can be such a bastard sometimes. There's some argument to be made for why he was as cruel as he was to Lyney (making a point and making it crystal clear who is in charge) but by the same toke like DAMN bastard-

I would also get bullied (though it's to tease me relentlessly not to hurt me fkjdhfa) but I do enjoy that so. Do I find it endearing...? Well, I like it in any case fkjdsahfkjdsa cruel is definitely attractive

🚎Joyride🚎 ~ How would a road trip with your F/O, friends/associates, and you go? (Clayman and Clown Fam 🎭🤡)

oh my god fkjasdhfkjdsa this is incredible. It's chaos. Tear and Footman want to stop and see EVERYTHING and also "are we there yet". Yuzu is right there with them on that front however if she gets pets on a lap then she's content to quiet down and fall asleep. But that won't happen if the other two are awake fkjdshfak

When I drive Clayman and Laplace fight over the front seat because the option option is to sit in the back with Tear and Footman and well- they are so excitable (Tear sits in the middle of course since she's small). Clayman usually wins. When Clayman drives, he insists I be his copilot and I have no qualms. Laplace is liable to put in headphones and tune out (...mostly. he does sometimes respond even though he appeared tuned out). I think he also can actually fall asleep despite the shenanigans which is truly baffling.

Laplace drives at night when it's quiet. Clayman or I will be his copilot depending on who is more awake. I have Yuzu on my lap and pet her while she laps while Tear and Footman are passed out from an exciting day of being nuisances in the car and enjoying everything even vaguely touristy or interesting on the side of the road. Eventually Clayman and I will fall asleep too, and Laplace will carry on thinking fondly of his sleeping family (and relieved everyone has shut up).

It would be very fun though when we stop and do things!!! I think Clayman is resistant to touristy stuff until I show interest and then he'll go along with it. Tear and Footman are kid like - they get excited about everything (and so does Yuzu).
