you know, i don't think im still done about yapping about han sooyoung's former chronic illness, so here's more
kim dokja is kind of freaked out about the fact that han sooyoung FORGETS things when her avatars die or just in general leave her main body, because he can't fathom the idea of forgetting things about himself. he's formed his personhood around significant events in his life, whether or not he's remembering it correctly.
but han sooyoung has spent most of her life asleep or bedridden. she would be remembering and misremembering events all the time-- the mixing of two egos between her and tls123 but also the lines blurred between dream and memory, reality and fiction.
this is why she has to read and reread SSSSS-grade Infinite Regressor so much, and why she was so confused about WoS's existence as a story, but not to the point of having a crisis about her own originality and creativity, not to the point of wondering if she really ever was a plagiarist.
seeing han sooyoung as someone with memory problems to begin with makes it so her overuse of the avatar skill isn't something scary or a measure of trust in her own abilities, it's just something she's lived with for over a decade before the apocalypse
friendly advice from vetmed: I know that when your animal has an infection that is generating a lot of discharge, you want to describe that to the veterinarian, because it’s a concerning sign. that is true. I also know that the most common word for this type of discharge is “pus,” so it’s logical that that’s the word that you’ll use when describing what’s going on. and in English, we often add a “-y” when we’re using a word as a descriptor.
but. the word. the word you are looking for. is purulent.
please stop sending in messages telling the doctor that your dog has a “pussy wound.”
