🦆 anon is back again with another self aware ask~
So! You know how tears deliberately put himself is stardew during that one fic? Well, I had a thought… what if it was an accident.
HEAR ME OUT!!!!!
What if he was just scanning through all your code and games trying to find a way to get out… and just accidentally plopped himself into another game on accident? Whether the game being stardew like your fic, or maybe just your “favorite” game because of all the hours you’ve played it. (Hastily hiding the log that says I have almost 1,000 hours in Genshin impact) and then he accidentally got stuck? I’m sure the coding and stuff in a game he isn’t from would be different than his own, so what if he made a minor (big) booboo and got stuck in another game?
glances at my steam library - welp, none of these seem like the nicest option for him, good luck in Phasmo link!!!
I think he'd be simply torn apart if that were to happen :c
he was so so close to finally being at your side properly and now he's stuck in an entirely unfamiliar place essentially back in square one? It's soul-crushing for him.
I am actually yoinking your genshin log because while I have not played it myself some of the less cult focused sagau is what got me hooked on the au concept (if I could remember who I would tag but I can't sadly - it was like 2/3 years back now)
so what if he met up with a character that was also aware of them being in a game there?
He has things in common with aether/lumine, potentially enough even to come to an alliance to share you. They're both stranded from another world into teyvat, and they're both the player character who keeps being put through more shit than they signed up for - even if they're a little jealous of each other or have a rivalry about play times between them. It could work depending on how desperate they both are to get out.
There are also a couple other characters that I could see tears being friends with, although I'm not entirely certain if he'd be able to if they're after you too (besides the mc) - Venti is one that I could potentially see, with how tears acts towards freedom plus the fact that he spends so much time in the air? plus apples and golden apples. I think that could catch his attention.
Also albedo. Science buddies, need I say more?
If I'm going off of the fics I have read he's looking for a way out too so to meet someone from another game who was so impossibly close? ofc he's going to grill him for answers, and I think that's why tears would originally get so close - before seeing what he's capable of with alchemy, and starting to mess with what could happen between that and zonai tech. (anddddd now I wanna see tears in an albedo cosplay damn it :()

Emily: "I'm so happy Vaggie got her wings back! That's so wonderful!"
Charlie: "YES TOTALLY and she hasn't even cried today because of them so far, which is extra amazingly fun!!!!"
Emily: "Oh no... why would she cry from having wings again...?"
Charlie: "Cramps."
Emily: "Oh no!! Doesn't stretching them help with that???"
Charlie: "It helps her wings a LOT but then she cries."
Emily: "....can we clarify that a little?"
Charlie: "We-lllllll...."
-last week-
Chaggie: (sitting on couch together) (charlie folded up scribbing in notebook) (vaggie slumped over armrest reading a paperback)
Vaggie: (shifts) (rubs her neck) (still reading)
Charlie: (humming showtune)
Vaggie: (shifts again) (hums with her) (wings pop out)
Charlie: (busy adding stickers to notebook doesn't notice)
Vaggie: (leaning forward) (still busy reading)
Charlie: (giggling and putting sticker on her own cheek)
Vaggie's wings: (gentle flap)
Vaggie: (turns page) (oblivious)
Charlie: (tucks loose hair back in place) (otherwise also oblivious)
Vaggie's wings: (biiiiiiiiiiiiiig stretchy out behind her.....)
Chaggie: (fails a spot check)
Charlie, still giggling: "Hey Vaggie~ You want a stick~er~"
Vaggie's wings: (SMACKS THE AIR REPETEDLY AND WITH KILLING INTENT) (LIKE THE AIR IS A LVING THING THEY WANT DEAD)
Charlie: "-AWUGH!"
Vaggie: (yeets book) (PANIC) "Charlie!?"
Charlie: (lying on the floor) (groans)
Vaggie: "Charlie!!!!"
Charlie: "guhhh... wha'd i hit...?"
Vaggie: (THROWING HERSELF ON KNEES NEXT TO CHARLIE AND CRADLING THE GIRLFRIEND TO HER CHEST) "Sweetie don't move, your eyes won't focus and I think you're concussed- I, I think my wings-" (HORRIFIED) "-my wings..."
Charlie: (staring to one side of her) "Vaggieeee.. there two of yous...."
Vaggie: "...I did this to you."
Charlie: (giggling) "hehehe. double pretty~"
Vaggie: (tearing up) "I hurt you, Charlie."
Charlie: (still giggling) "good job with the being prettiness. gold star. A for adorable!" (sticks a sticker on Vaggie's cheek) (passes out)
Vaggie: "CHARLIE NOOOOOO!!!!!!"
-this week-
Charlie: "....and I think I woke up a few times while she was running around the hotel yelling for help, but I all I remember is thinking 'yay! girlfriend princess carry time!' and then snuggling in for another nap. So it's all still a blur until Husk wrapped some chipped ice in a rag for my head and helped bring down the swelling."
Emily: "....."
Charlie: "Point is- Vaggie was STILL sobbing into my chest when I woke up, and since then it's been a damn struggle just to get her wings out long enough for me to even PREEN them!"
Emily: (blushing) "...it, it has?"
Charlie: (pouting) "She makes me wear a helmet for it and everything..."
Emily: ".... that's... unfortunate."
Charlie: "She did like the sticker though." (sighs) "SO! How's Sir Pentious doing up there with HIS new wings??"
Emily: "Oh don't worry! It's nothing like that!! He's-"
Sir Pentious: (slides by SHRIEKING and SCREAMING grabbing at clouds desperately as he's dragged along by wildly flapping wings, followed by a crowd of heaven's denizens all shouting encouragements and advise as he zooms away into the distance, wailing)
Emily: "....he's adjusting."
Charlie: "Yay~!"

the thing is roman is literally my primadonna girl my goodtime guy my empty husk of a man who's hollowed himself out to become a better receptacle for daddy's love. except daddy couldn't love him, because roman didn't do a good enough job scraping the last of his entrails out, so he had to go back in with a scalpal and a bucket, fake molars grinding against real ones, until all he's got left inside him are the pieces logan wanted him to keep.
but of course logan dies, and roman (hollow) is left with a hole that needs filling, and no idea what to fill it with. and he tries his family's love, but when has his siblings' love ever filled anything up? when has it done anything but hollow them all out even worse? and so he tries gerri's love, but he carved himself out wrong for that, and she won't fill him up anymore. and so he turns to the bloated corpse of his father, still warm, and he gorges himself on that.
and now roman (rotting) is finally something other than empty. and if every time he opens his mouth, he regurgitates logan roy, then all that means is that he gets to fill himself back up again afterwards. and roman roy (dying) would take the decaying carcass of his dad over the hollow failure of himself any day.
