#suffer the night thoughts

Slight spoilers ahead for Suffer the Night

Fun headcanon idea: so we know in Suffer the Night, Mister Tops has an older fashion sense. (E.g. top hat and what appears to be a waistcoat)

The sort of clothing loosely associated with times like the Victorian era. We also know that in the bad ending of the game, Mister Tops takes over the body of Stacy and continues to live in.

In this world where he continues to live, he would need to keep up with ever evolving technology in order to spread further to reach more victims.

Essentially I had the idea that as time went on his wardrobe would change as well. While still being vintage, it would move through the eras.

To summarise: I want 1940s American fashion Mister Tops

i see a lot of people talk about edward being disabled in fma, but it's less often talked about how alphonse is also disabled. i think it's partially because alphonse doesn't experience physical pain like edward so for a majority of the series, he's not having any of those kind of symptoms, but he is still disabled. also because alphonse's experiences are unique. like you don't see ant walking, talking suits of armour in real life (unless they're piloted by a human being physically inside them) and in world, there are about 3 others like alphonse).

alphonse is dependent on edward's survival to function. after fighting scar for the first time, alphonse is literally in pieces. he can't walk or anything until edward is in a position to fix him. similarly his body is dependent on nutrients from edward's body. like there's the point towards the end where edward gets impaled and alphonse collapses. furthermore, these periods where alphonse collapses start to become debilitating towards the end of the series and massively alter his daily living.

also, alphonse constantly talks about how upsetting it is for him to not feel any physical sensations. yeah, he's not feeling physical pain, but he's also not feeling the warmth of a fire, the sun on his face, or the fluffiness of the cats he keeps petting. he talks a lot about not being able to eat or sleep, and how there's a lot of foods he wants to try.

there's another thing that highlighted by edward at one point. alphonse's body doesn't regenerate at all. the parts scar destroys are gone forever; edward stretches out the metal that alphonse has left to repair his body. and obviously human beings don't regrow limbs, but imagine if your skin didn't ever heal over a cut. how long would your body last?

also alphonse gets told several times that his body is great throughout the series, and he literally argues against it every time, because to him it is shit. like he is missing some of his senses just for some supposedly immortal body that isn't even immortal.

even once alphonse gets his own body back, the amount of physical therapy the boy has to go through. his body has essentially been doing nothing and only receiving what nutrients it can get from edward for years. by the end of the series, he's still using a cane as a walking aid. it's unknown whether he requires that cane for the years to come, but for at least a period of time he requires a mobility aid. I don't know enough to say what effect muscle decay from inactivity and severe malnourishment during a major portion of his teenage years would have long term.

Just read the Sunday short from the pawnshop and it was indeed everything I had hoped for!! 12/10, very tasty, would absolutely consume again. Stellaron Hunter Sunday is such a power trip. I hope darling has a good time ♡ I can't help but feel that while Sunday would let darling play video games with Silver Wolf and interact with Firefly, he would be wary about letting darling interact with Kafka or Blade...

Oh, absolutely. Best believe that in the first few weeks after reuniting with you, Sunday barely lets you out of his grasp. He'll run his hands through your hair and whisper sweet nothings in your ear, his wings puffing up whenever one of the other Stellaron Hunters so much as comes near you.

I definitely agree that out of all of them, Blade is the one he tries to keep you away from the most. Ominous aura, brooding personality, mysterious past? Someone so gentle and pure as you cannot be around someone so unstable and amoral.

Kafka is 50/50. As long as she keeps her teasing and slyness at hand, Sunday is alright with you having some interactions with her. But the moment she starts flustering you and asking too many questions, Sunday is quick to pull you back in his arms, making some quick excuse as to why the two of you must leave.

Firefly I'm conflicted about. From what we saw in the story question (to the best of my knowledge at least), her views directly oppose Sunday's. Because of this, I want to believe that Sunday would actually try to keep you away from Firefly at all costs because of what she might inspire you to do. One spark can start a blaze, after all.

And then there's Silver Wolf. I think after a while, Sunday would likely be alright with you interacting with her. When he watches you playing video games, he'll try to understand what the two of you are playing, though his comprehension varies. Fighter games? When Silver Wolf hands him a controller, his character just flails around for a bit, before either you or Silver Wolf KO him. But give him a sandbox game, and he'll be making palaces and paradises just for you. The affection he shows as you all play is so glaringly obvious that eventually, Silver Wolf leaves.

One of my favorite things about Louis is how MEAN he can be. He can be charming and funny or soft spoken and a little off-putting (all excellent qualities) but I'm obsessed with the way he verbally flays Lestat, from small things like calling his fashion outdated when they first meet to calling him illiterate with shitty literature comprehension, to the first interview with Daniel where it's nothing but slander (he really does just call lestat a dumb shitty teacher lmao). And that's not even getting into the way he pokes ans prods at Daniel and Armand like. Idk where I was even going with this, I'm just fascinated by the way Louis will twist the knife with his words.

I learned that the intruder (still don't know if he has a proper name) from Suffer the Night can crawl on walls?? I was watching 8-bit Ryan's letsplay for my fanfic and you can see it at one point. Very interesting to know. I wonder what other things we'll see him do in the future because he already appears to be able to manipulate electronics. As we see with him making Stacey's phone line work again despite it being down

Please consider

Vessels can't speak but they can make a limited amount of noises

Purrs, trills, huffs, sighs, clicks, rumbles, etc

Hollow letting out little huffs and whines unintentionally when they're overly stressed or hurting

Little rumbles and near-silent purrs or an audible sigh when touched lovingly or held comfortingly

Clicks and trills when they're finally comfortable enough to express curiosity or to get someone's attention or to greet them

Actual growls if someone threatens their loved ones and makes their incredibly long fuse of a patience snap

Eddie, high out of his mind, rambling on and on and on about Steve. Yeah, he drones on about how good he looks (its a crime that he's that hot). Yet, Eddie's going all philosophical even, talking about soulmates and alternate universes where they are together. He's saying this to the guy who's sitting next to him. Grey at his temples, a few wrinkles around his eyes.

It's Steve, but Eddie is convinced it isn't because he never noticed the signs of aging before

Fine, I admit it, I want someone to tickle me and call me cute when I blush

something something "your mother said those words to me" being the cruelest retort salem can think of when ruby upsets her

ruby shatters trying to be who summer was and now she's trying to put herself back together with "i'll be who you were and i'll be even more"

salem's father punishes her for her mother's death in childbirth by imprisoning her literally in her mother's "favorite place" and treating salem herself as a proxy, an inadequate replacement for her mother with no personhood of her own.

(the way ruby's self-identity is so distorted by the reflection of summer is in itself a fractal repetition of salem's story; of course salem is both the one who "took [her] mother" and the one who cracks the mirror)
