just gonna talk about my vessel guy, archive vessel, real quick cuz i never talked about him that much and i dont wanna bother my friends with my oc chatter
these are mostly disconnected thoughts vaguely strewn together that steered up cuz i listened to the man on the internet broken vessel theme with lyrics
ALOT under the cut be warned
anyway archive vessel's a really mild-mannered little guy, a little socially anxious and awkward cuz obviously, and kinda just hangs out despite everything, fucking around in the archives and keeping themselves occupied by reading whatever was left behind and trying to maintain the place once they found it
it kinda started to idealize the idea of family and friends through what they could read and they started to wish they could have that
be a big ol normal family with their siblings and parents
maybe they could have made friends too
be a kid
but they realize that, obviously, due to the nature of their conception and just
what they are
its not really possible
but that doesnt stop them from wanting that
i can imagine they hold a lot of resentment towards their father for abandoning so very many of its siblings to die in the abyss
theyd probably understand why
he had a kingdom to protect and he believed this was the only way
but that doesnt mean they would forgive what was done
they hate how they cant help but feel
cheated at life, yaknow
done in by something they couldnt change
and after its cursed conception, to simply be cast aside to rot among the corpses of its siblings...
their anger is painful to them, like something lashing out violently in a cage barely holding it in
it wants to lash out at those that hurt them, but obviously thats not possible
so it just
festers like that
mind you, they wouldn't take that out on their siblings
they were put into the same situation as it, so it isn't fair to them or itself
at most, they treat their siblings like the most precious scrolls in the archives
theyd also just
put in alot of their time to gather the bodies of their siblings that were able to escape the abyss but died anyway
make proper "graves" for it to just
grieve
even though they never knew them
they just wish they couldve found and helped them earlier, but at the least it finds peace in giving them proper resting places
i feel like their shade wouldn't have the same restrain they usually have with their anger and would probably violently attack anything that comes too close so uh
itd be a really big hassle to try n get them back in their shell if ever it got cracked open like an egg
theyd also act like this if they were ever able to meet pk after everything like in those aus
theyd still have some restraint cuz
yeag
but they just
are not handling it well™
theyd meet him once and never want to see him again until they can find it in themselves not to wish to hurt him
shell would crack (moreso than it already is) under the pure stress
they wish to yell, to hurt, to let out all these pent up emotion
but it wont
despite everything, when meeting pk again, it'll find it unfair
i mean
everything pk did to them and their siblings was unfair but
archive vessel cant bring himself to make it "fair" by letting all that resentment out like that
doesnt feel right
if ever they were forced to continuously interact with pk theyd keep it as brief as possible and treat him like a stranger-it-has-to-be-around most of the time
if pk were to try to like
be a dad to the archive vessel itd just be
very uncomfortable and awkward, cringing away from touch and, again, keeping things as brief as possible
which may hurt pk (if he cares cuz note my characterization of pk isnt fully done cooking so im not sure if he'd even be interested in doing any of this it might be more likely he never interacts with archive tbh) cuz with other people showing affection to archive, they eat that shit up but with pk itd just
naw
generally, they dont wanna be around him for too long cuz then it'll need to actually feel the things they feel at full force and feeling things is kinda cringe to them
they hate how intensely they feel sometimes cuz of just how painful it is for them (projecting /hj)
equally so, they also hate bothering people with shit like that cuz "i survived until now, everyone else has their own problems and issues and struggles, i dont need to add on to what theyve got" (projecting /hj)
