#ten trails

HI OK I HAD A MOMENT TO THINK ABOUT IT, THIS IS ABOUT YOUR TEN 17776 POST.

i was talking to my bf about it. and he broguht up that ten is 'rude' at points. and that made me think.

people perceive ten's bluntness as her being like. mean or snarky? even though juice's entire intoduction is him insulting nine

like. juice is meaner than ten, ten is just serious.

i think in part because ten is female aligned, people view her bluntness as much *harsher* than it actually is - and since we live in a male focused world, a woman being rude is her worst sin. does that make sense

anyways. ten i love you

god forbid a woman does fuckin' anything, man

for a good chapter or so, i also perceived juice to be rude Because of his introduction, but ten being rude has never been a defining trait of hers to me. definitely blunt and stubborn, yes, but not rude. i partially wonder if how ten writes changes the way she's perceived, properly compared to juice's lax style of speaking ("Juice can do it because he’s European. You and I are NASA, born and bred. We have standards." 20020, Chap 4), and with it making her casual speak stick out like a sore thumb ("… listen, Nine, are you going to keep doing this? Is cross-talk just your … deal? Want to shut up for even a second?" 17776, Chap 1) - but yeah can't forget that, because she is female-aligned, people will probably, unintentionally or not, read her ruder than she is or have it stick to them more that she is rude. that isn't to say she's not not rude - she has her fair share of "Shut up"s ("Shut up. Shut. Up." 17776, Chap 1. "Shut the fuck up." 17776, Chap 13) - but god forbid women be abrasive

the line i brought up in that original post ("He’s the fun one, and by default, I’m the boring one." 20020, Chap 7) makes me nuts. juice is the fun one so BY DEFAULT ten is the boring one, and she knows this. it's so aligned with how people treat her, coupled onto the fact that she is indeed the "girl satellite". and it drives me nuts when people further the wedge on how different juice and ten is because juice is intensely goofy (an example being putting a period before juice dialogue but not for ten, when all have periods before their dialogue in videos - it's just a formatting thing!). especially when nine is the middle ground, and is more open to juice's shenanigans, it emphasises the stricter, more serious light on ten, which might be emphasised further by fans because, by default, she is the boring one

and it's not like ten doesn't have any whimsy herself. she does speeches and has calls with human friends and watches the sun rise, even if it is just a speck, and is great at handling the camera and changes the direction of her text to go up and makes mistakes that kills billions of people and "Yes you do, buddy." and she loved that light bulb and loves people and earth and loves her sibling, who is both older and younger than she is, and loves juice, despite it all. she loves her friends, and she loves football

even in real life, do you know how interesting pioneer 10 is? the first outer planetary mission? to jupiter, no less! there are Real Life Monetary Coins made of her, man - someone get me a 2009 $1 Australian gold coin with a space probe Pioneer 10/11-type on the back please!

i dunno, this is all just ramblings. don't take this as me hating juice, i love that guy. but i also love ten. more people should like ten #women #girl

dose anyone else hate going to another fixation even though you know that you'll come back to it because you really like it and nurotypical people (and sometimes nurodivergent people) have drilled into your head that nurodivergent peoples need to have only one thing they like and obsess over throughout their life even though, like i said before, you know you'll go back to it bacause you always go back to it, no matter what it is.

Ten Trails of Babel: Character Roles

I was just thinking about what character roles some of the Twst characters would play in this au, so here it goes--

(This list will probably be updated as time goes on. This is just the confirmed roles the characters will be playing. Not to mention, some of this won't make sense unless you've actually played the Ten Trails of Babel game, for some of the characters, since I see them taking on certain roles.)

Jade/Floyd

So, in game, there is a character called Kruger. And he's who I see Jade/Floyd taking the place of. The first story that the MC plays is a story with doppleganers in it. You see yourself in a reflective surface, and your doppelganger will appear. Kruger absorbs his doppelganer (so they share one body), because his doppelganger is much more well-behaved than him, and he thought it would be easier to gain everyone's trust and stab them in the back later on if his doppelganger was fronting. The two fight for control after the reveal, constantly going back and forth. The character in game actually begins looking for a way to separate themselves later on.

I thought it would be perfect for Jade/Floyd to take the role of this character. Especially since the character is a shit-stirrer that kinda just likes to brew that pot, and is actually known for being a loner-character with the tendency to stab people in the back.

Cater

I see Cater taking the place of Victor. Victor is a character with the ability to gauge the probability of things going in his favor. How successful it would be for him, and is very shrewd in nature, even when he acts friendly at first. I can imagine Cater with the same ability and using it to his advantage in much the same way that Victor does.

Kalim

I see Kalim taking the place of Carrus. Carrus is a character with the "lucky dog" ability, which means he's always lucky and gets twice as many rewards as everyone else does from a scenario. Carrus is known for just jumping into things without thinking about it, and is mostly more than willing to interact with other species, something I think fits Kalim.

Ortho (Overblot Ortho)

(Let it be said, any interaction between the MC and Ortho would be platonic.) I see Ortho taking the place of Arlo. I don't mean the robot Ortho, I mean Idia's dead brother Ortho. Arlo is a spirit that actually runs one of the game's stories, and is the "final boss" in one of the scenarios. But he wants to actually be a participant in the game, and leave. So he makes a deal with the system to do just that.

Okay, look, I am aware that this meme format is passé, but I found some notes I made about it the last time I got really into Trails three years ago and I think I was right.

No I don't have any evidence for Dudley but you also can't prove I'm wrong

My allergies have been acting up lately bc of the cats, and I went hiking with some of my coworkers yesterday and sneezed a few times when I usually literally never sneeze, and they commented on it 😭 like they were actually concerned about it asking if I was okay and if I needed a break, and upon confirming that I wasn't sick, they started making fun of me like 😭 mortifying

@the-lytenye-realms sent : Stelle would carefully hand the other them a paper to sign. Not a word exchanged, just a hopeful and meaningful look at the other who'd probably understand the importance of this.

     THERE  IS  THE  QUIET  WAY  THAT  THEY  TAKE     the paper from her hands, quietly raising it up to scan over the contents of the paper.     the silence in between them has been palpable since their first    POKING    session.      while they are of kindred spirit, there is something about stelle's demeanor that makes them squint their eyes at her handed parchment.    the contents of it makes them    SCOFF.     instead of signing, they turn the paper to its other side     (  ...  )      they grab a pen from over to the side     &      starts writing.      they understand how much this means to her which is why     -     as they hand the letter back, they look      SOLEMN.

the paper reads  :     i cannot let you do that.      this betrayal is something that they know     MUST    hurt, but they simply allow her of this.    yes, that is right.     they cannot allow another version of themselves to    ACHIEVE     greater things than themselves.     "  i'll be the one to be the general of the belobog army.     this was a task for me.  "
