The squirm inside The Spaniard's chest was reflected upon greeting, for as much as Luis was infested as a host, in the eyes of Los Iluminados, he was also the child of Lord Saddler. To the cult, unwavering obedience & servitude to one's parent, ๐•‹๐•™๐•– ๐”ฝ๐•’๐•ฅ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ, was absolute. There was no room for questioning or defiance when his leash manifested deep from within.
Luis' life was figuratively & LITERALLY in Osmund's hands ; The sharpened barbs of the parasite close to crushing his heart, or tendrils reaching, coiling & suffocating his lungs. Unlike The Holy Spirit, Las Plagas physically residing in one's innermost cavities was a violation unimaginable & disgustingly blasphemous in spite of the Abrahamic God. The river which flowed tasted not of love ; But of death & disease, if not an underlying desire of conquest. In every way conceivable, The Scientist bowed before ๐•‹๐•™๐•– ๐”ธ๐•Ÿ๐•ฅ๐•š-โ„‚๐•™๐•ฃ๐•š๐•ค๐•ฅ, marked by the power which resided in his hand.
" ๐”๐”ถ ๐”ฐ๐”ฌ๐”ซ. " The 'God' which grit his teeth was possessive & jealous, his anger smothered by layers of human skin & clerical robes. Lazing upon his throne, his faรงade gave the image of grace, but any intelligent human knew not to trust The Devil who lies --- or they did, before being imprisoned & forcibly handed the syringe. " ๐”˜๐”ซ๐”ฉ๐”ข๐”ฐ๐”ฐ ๐”ถ๐”ฌ๐”ฒ ๐”ข๐”ž๐”ฑ ๐”ฑ๐”ฅ๐”ข ๐”ฃ๐”ฉ๐”ข๐”ฐ๐”ฅ ๐”ฌ๐”ฃ ๐”—๐”ฅ๐”ข โ„Œ๐”ฌ๐”ฉ๐”ถ ๐”…๐”ฌ๐”ก๐”ถ ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ก ๐”ก๐”ฏ๐”ฆ๐”ซ๐”จ ๐”ฅ๐”ฆ๐”ฐ ๐”Ÿ๐”ฉ๐”ฌ๐”ฌ๐”ก, ๐”ถ๐”ฌ๐”ฒ ๐”ฅ๐”ž๐”ณ๐”ข ๐”ซ๐”ฌ ๐”ฉ๐”ฆ๐”ฃ๐”ข ๐”ฆ๐”ซ ๐”ถ๐”ฌ๐”ฒ. "
One stray thought of heresy or desire for freedom would incur his wrath. As Osmund continued, he gaze shifted to that of a hawk, or something eerily insectoid --- an imposing glare so animalistic & devoid of emotion to shudder one's spine. As his tongue delivered doctrine, he scanned for any sign of abandonment or displeasure of the faith. Luis would NEED to charm the serpent in order to dissuade his suspicion & further tightening of his grip ( for now ) --- unless the most profound of blessings would entice him once more?
" ๐”œ๐”ฌ๐”ฒ ๐”ฅ๐”ž๐”ณ๐”ข ๐”ง๐”ฌ๐”ฆ๐”ซ๐”ข๐”ก ๐”ฒ๐”ฐ ๐”ฆ๐”ซ ๐”ž๐”ฉ๐”ฉ ๐”ช๐”ž๐”ฑ๐”ฑ๐”ข๐”ฏ๐”ฐ ๐”ฆ๐”ซ ๐”ฌ๐”ฒ๐”ฏ ๐” ๐”ฌ๐”ณ๐”ข๐”ซ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ฑ ๐”Ÿ๐”ฒ๐”ฑ ๐”ฌ๐”ซ๐”ข. " As the flock traversed the castle in prayer with black water & blood soaking their lips, the 'holy' communion of Osmund was more than evident. Consecration of bread & wine was defiled into an unholy rite ; & TRULY cannibalistic. Chalices & bowls disregarded as the zealots prior fed directly from his sacred body. " ๐”‡๐”ฌ ๐”ถ๐”ฌ๐”ฒ ๐”ซ๐”ฌ๐”ฑ ๐”ด๐”ฆ๐”ฐ๐”ฅ ๐”ฑ๐”ฌ ๐”ญ๐”ž๐”ฏ๐”ฑ๐”ž๐”จ๐”ข ๐”ฆ๐”ซ ๐”—๐”ฅ๐”ข ๐”ˆ๐”ฒ๐” ๐”ฅ๐”ž๐”ฏ๐”ฆ๐”ฐ๐”ฑ? "
Tumblr media
An ache had begun somewhere behind Luis' left eye and slowly progressed as work progressed. With Saddler's suspicion growing now the scientist needed to play the part of willing subject and researcher as well as possible. Luis' life quite literally depended on it. It's that anxious fear of being found out that has the Spaniard striding down the long ornate hallway flanked by faithful to have a meeting with the cult leader. This whole chapel gave him the creeps. A disgusted part of Luis hates how he willingly ignored all the red flags of joining these people in their endeavours to play god once more. Rubbing fingers into his eyes, Luis contemplates quitting after this and taking up something less dangerous and cult prone. Maybe baking.
"Your eminence." Luis bows slightly once in front of Saddler, trying hard to ignore the eager squirm of the creature in his chest at his proximity. That would need to be taken care of before it progressed any further, but once theย plagaย is purged, he would immediately need to kick off the plan to get the hell out of this place. Whichย could only happen when his contact gets back to him.ย Luis hopesย to whateverย god will listenย that itย happensย soon.

Nevertheless, grief was an exception & many nights were spent lamenting his lost brothers & sisters --- everlasting serenity unjustly stolen from him by militant wicked armed to the teeth. As if afraid to touch such divine grace, or that the rot which blotted his flesh would disgust her, Osmund's hand faltered, hovering above her shoulder as he slithered close.

Although Lord Saddler had been gifted reparations' in the sum of immeasurable wealth, vast amounts of land & the seal to Las Plagas FINALLY broken, it did not change the tragedies of the past. Memories of colonization, war, torture & slavery persisted, continuously plaguing his mind akin to a unwanted disease. WHEN she would embrace her long lost babe again, would her sorrow interfere & hinder, rather than blossom a beautiful reunion between mother & child? --- Concern etched itself upon every wrinkle, certain that the woman was 'afflicted' in the mind all the same. Different, but their spirits damaged, if not left broken by incomprehensible misfortune. Only to be seen as monsters & not victims by worldly misery unfairly handed to them.

i am a forgetful role player.
ย  ย  ย sometimes i will post inbox calls, starter calls or interaction calls and i will happily begin โ€ฆ when i have muse for it, and sometimes i will lack muse, and i may forget about it all.
ย  ย  ย that is not because of you, the other part.
ย  ย  ย forgetfulness is something that we often frown upon, take as an insult directly towards us as a person.ย โ€œbut they never write to meโ€,ย โ€œthey always forget about meโ€,ย โ€œiโ€™m not gonna interact because they always forgetโ€ and while these things are totally valid, it must be said that forgetting things are human. not only is it human, but we should allow role players to be forgetful every now and then, simply because many, if not all, have lives outside of Tumblr that require a lot of them.
ย  ย  ย my forgetfulness is never directed towards you as a person.
ย  ย  ย my forgetfulness is never directed towards your creations.
ย  ย  ย sometimes i forget because โ€ฆ
i am tired.
i have a lot on my mind.
i get lost in other tasks.
i have to prioritize.
i bite over more than i can chew.
i simply forget.
ย  ย  ย therefore it must be said, have patience. reach out. donโ€™t just sit back and huff about how youย โ€œalways seem to be forgottenโ€. some folks have a lot on their minds, and that needs to be allowed.

This has been on my mind for long but Iโ€™m gonna do this - please reblog this if youโ€™re comfortable with pre-establishing relationships. I do not meanย โ€œmet at the grocery store two weeks agoโ€ orย โ€œhave a common friendโ€, but rather stuff likeย โ€œhave been best friends since kindergrdenโ€,ย โ€œgo for a beer every fridayโ€,ย โ€œfriends with benefitsโ€,ย โ€œdated in highschoolโ€, โ€œhate each otherโ€™s guts because -insert reason-โ€ ย etc. Something meaningful (but not necessarily shippy)ย and I mean with muns/characters you have not interacted with, because I cannot believe I am the only one who prefers jumping right into the heart of the human interaction.

hey, tumblr rpc. we're a deeply parasocial space and we need to accept that!
i've noticed an uptick in people preferring to remain insular / friend focused or indicate to not immediately express familiarity, or say that they owe their mutuals nothing. and that's true! this isn't to say that you can't make true friendships, or come to know someone fully, in the roleplay community: i'm a part of it, and i've met friends i now have known for more than ten years. but there's a difference between people having conversations that aren't just about rp (e.g., personal life, depending on each other for support on tough times as the people involved slowly open up) for extended periods of time, and having casual conversations solely about rp over 6 - 7 months and going no further than that. to some people, that may be friendship, but the reality is that you really don't know that person, and we need to do better and respect that boundary. being mutuals isn't automatic friendship. seeing what your mutuals post on the dash is only a fraction of what they are actually like, and it is their prerogative to share as much or as little as they want. unfollowing, soft or hardblocking isn't personal. you cannot press people to share about themselves when they do not wish to. when people specify "i owe nobody nothing", it refers to acting on an unearned sense of familiarity. pursuing friendship is natural! but in online spaces where activity varies and people are now mostly offline due to busy personal lives, it's imperative we remain courteous and respectful. again, this is a parasocial environment, and that's fine. do better, get to know people naturally, and don't hold boundary establishing against them.

It's hard to pick only one, but I normally choose songs that represent The Devil / Lucifer from a nuanced perspective or his victims.
I write from HIS point of view which has a degree of self-victimization. In HIS mind, he is made / born from God but unjustly punished / banished to Earth. In HIS mind, he believes the absence of free-will IS Paradise because it is best suited to serve him & that only he can "save the world" ( hence deceit / lies, as Las Plagas desires assimilation, not salvation ) . Osmund has a messiah / savior complex & is so zealous that he cannot be convinced that he is evil. The abuse / torture is justified by heresy / sin & that "teaching / punishment" is an act of penance / love. Lord Saddler is as much as a seducer / tempter as he is "Almighty", so there is a bit of dual-facet nature, it is a unique interpretation of The Devil. Songs narratively about the victims apply as Lord Saddler is known to have an intoxicating / addictive presence. Las Plagas for the majority is a drug / high because not only does it fulfill their sense of purpose or grant miraculous power, it conditions them to enjoy their perpetual state of everlasting servitude.
โ€œMorning Starโ€ - King Woman, "Whatโ€™s a Devil to Do" - Harley Poe, "Devils Child" - Judas Priest, "The Devils on Your Side" - Andrew W.K., "Fire And Brimstone" - Link Wray, "Master of Puppets" - Metallica

I've always had issues with the 2005 iteration because Lord Saddler was a remodel / recolor of Oswell Spencer from RE3.5's Castle Vers. & I want to separate myself from themes of Nazism / Eugenics as much as humanely possible. It's partially why I don't really care for the games spanning from 0 - 3 & lost interest in Sergei Vladimir / James Marcus over time.
On the topic of the English Localization again, the blatant American / Foreign xenophobia they introduced was in extremely bad taste & rooted in The War on Terror influence back in the early 2000's. I was overjoyed when this was completely removed in Vendetta & the remake because what purpose does it serve for a religion / religious preacher to be discriminatory in that way that is hellbent upon world domination with a mind-controlling parasite?
Thirdly, because I'm always at Capcom's throat, they are ( but slowly getting better ) SERIOUSLY bad with stealing ( art in general, coming from someone who studied art history ) iconography & symbolism from closed cultures / practices that suffer discrimination, racism & harmful stereotypes to this day. They are also bad with using real world events for canonical history without considering the implications it might have on the average consumer. Instead of listing individual sources, there is an entire wikia page ( I hardly trust the wikia but these sources are legitimate ) dedicated to how The War of Terror initially influenced RE4 & / or the remake. There is also Mesoamerican / Mesopotamian leftovers from early builds of 3.5 & 4 which again, carries harmful stereotypes when it's representing a sacrificial death cult & religious extremists. I would have preferred a RE4 that was delayed & completely original artistically instead of... what we got.
Final thing but his full name is absolutely stupid & it drives me up a wall CONSTANTLY.
