Something I find absolutely fascinating is how Orpheus and Alice actually alternate between playing the roles of Orpheus and Eurydice.

We meet Orpheus in his namesake's role - a detective revisiting the place of his past, rediscovering his memories - venturing into the underworld to find what he's lost.

As we learn more about him, he seems to be more and more of the "Orpheus" - looking for his Eurydice in Memory, the fact that it's implied in the Memory Pages that he started everything for Alice - to try and get her out of the asylum when he was denied the right to adopt her. The fact that he loses sight of Alice, loses her as he loses himself in his reconstruction of "paradise" to the point where he might not even recognize her when she arrives at the manor.

But Alice is also looking for him. She returns to her place of memory, to the underworld, looking for him. Again, the Memory Pages tell us a lot - that once she knows he's here, she wants to save him. That she's willing to do anything for it. That they lose each other, in the end.

In mythology, Orpheus is a musician. The game makes a point that our Orpheus likes music, but he claims he isn't any good at playing it himself - Alice, however, is.

"Don't look back" and "Face it, and it'll all be over" - they seem like opposites, but they're two sides of the same coin. Because Orpheus does look back, he *keeps* looking back, and so does Alice. "Don't look back" is a warning that always goes ignored. In the new tutorial cutscenes, we see Alice able to leave, but when she hears Orpheus's voice, she *looks back.* Neither can leave the other behind in the underworld.

#the writers were so real for this btw. esp since the memory pages confirm alice thinks of orpheus as a brother #what if we were inseparable what if we couldnt exist in the same world qhat if we gave everything to save each other but it doesnt work #bc the other person always comes back #things i think about constantly #idv #identity v #alice deross #idv orpheus #idv journalist #idv novelist #idv detective #era speaks

Wither Rose Alliance In The AU In Which All the Marriages are Arranged

Fwhip and Mythical Sausage are cousins who grew up together and are functionally siblings

Fwhip and GeminiTay are not biologically related but decided they were twins when they were very small and have been family ever since.

Pearl is related to no one and, in fact, is possibly not human at all. Xornoth and Gem are Suspicious. (Sometimes you spend a lot of time wondering if you’re friends with a human queen or a goddess it just be like that)

Xornoth is technically a member in the way that sometimes that one weird quiet kid gets along with one of the friend group of weird loud kids like a house on fire and so they hang out with them even if they don’t really socialize with them.

Xornoth and Pearl are best friends and Xornoth has no idea how this happened and had very little input on the situation.

Joey has become an adjacent member since he and Xornoth started dating.

The core three of the WRA, the Roseblings squad, are the only ones actively in conflict with the Ocean Alliance, which is the primary reason it has never broken out into all out war despite Sausage’s harassment of the Swamp borders. Because while Pearl enjoys a good fight Xornoth doesn’t particularly want to go to war directly after bringing their country out of isolation. And both Xornoth and Gem suspect that Lizzie Vs Pearl would be some kind of natural disaster and so they are very invested in preventing that fight.

(This is where Scott ends up coming into the equation. RIP)

V should have been able to clocked that So Mi was doing information transaction with Mr. Blue Eyes, or at least react to that if you have finished the Peralez quest now that V knows Mr. B is shady as hell. Would have loved if they gave us a peak of the project So Mi was on but I guess they are saving it for the next installment.

In case you don't know, in The Killing Moon, Mr. Blue Eyes is present and seems to be following V and So Mi as they make their way to the rocket, which only makes everything even more unsettling 💀

#me after saving my gf means that ai has a chance to fuck over the world: it's okay i have hands #jk my v probably says nah not my prob i'll probably die soon before that shit comes to me #cyberpunk 2077 #cp2077 #phantom liberty #phantom liberty spoiler

Obsessed with mxtx crossover fics from sqq's point of view where he looks at wangxian and hualian and is like " woah . You guys and your worlds are so fucked up. Sorry for you. Well time's up gotta go back to my husband who poisoned me with tracking parasites made of his own blood"

#i joke but i do think sqq has the advantage of a kinder world that cares for him in particular #the others dont have that and its a main part of their stories #its v interesting to think that a huge crux of xl and wwxs characters is that society hates them #whereas sqqs dilemma is realizing that society and people are kinder than he thought #idk im not going anywhere with this im just feeling crossover content rn #svsss #scumbag self saving system #mdzs #shen qingqiu #sqq #tgcf #mxtx #mxtx crossover

Part 1 of 2 of sketches I made for @breezy-cheezy's and my Trigun role swap AU. Meet Nai the Avalanche, aka Truth Coming Out Of His Well To Shame Mankind with a cup of sickeningly sweet coffee in one hand, a handful of custom knives in the other, and a stack of psychology books under each arm, who somehow keeps collecting lost, traumatized children like ducklings.

I'm very fond of him. 💖

#trigun #trigun stampede #trigun maximum #millions knives #trigun knives #trigun nai #role swap AU #xi arts #swap!Nai is a freaking delight fr fr #it's been so interesting to try to figure out what Nai would have been like if he hadn't gone completely off the deep end as a 2 year old #how his personality would have developed how he would have internalized Rem's teachings as opposed to Vash in canon #his hair is the bane of my existence tho #thank u Bre for your handy step by step guide it saved my bacon #the necklace was a gift from Rem #he sunburns VERY easily and also freckles like hell given enough sun exposure #(if he could be completely nocturnal he would. In a heartbeat) #his favorite thing in the world (aside from books) is coffee. preferably with half a ton of sugar added #no he's not addicted he could quit anytime >:V #part 2 coming soon

not me popping back on here with a post after months of semi-inactivity (uni is being a bitch) just to reiterate how much i love writing the pahkitew island cast.

aside from sammy and amy (obviously), literally everyone else can be shipped with one another and it'd make sense to some degree, like it takes skill to create a group of people so inherently shippable (platonically and/or romantically) and ofc the writers didn't know it they just shoved a bunch of random ppl together and dusted their hands off on it but fr tho 😭

(yeah im planning out my leonave 'stranger things inspired' au, and the gears are turning, and i forgot just how much i love writing for this dumbass group)

(i swear im working on the next chapter of a guide to surviving the apocalypse too)

#no but i've way too many ideas lmaoo #i forgot ive a whole longass post in my drafts dedicated to ramblings abt this longfic and i came across it today ahaha #like amy leading a manhunt for leonard bc shes got everyone to think he killed her sister (who she didn't even like much smh) #and topher's one of the ppl involved and when shawn hears he's like “topher? yeah i can handle him dw” (possible tophawn minor pairing??) #and leonard's abt to get the equivalent of being burnt at the stake literally #when guess who shows up in a fucking mercedes of all cars #fucking dave #and he helps leonard escape narrowly by driving fast af and leonard's so confused bc like “i thought you'd be with those guys” #and get this: dave doesnt believe leonard killed sammy bc of his vehement belief that leonard doesn't know magic LMAOOO #and leonard doesnt know whether to be affronted or grudgingly thankful bc if it wasn't for dave's desire for everything to be normal #leonard would have been part of the witch trials 2.0 #and idk who's watched st but the plot is somewhat inspired by it #like shawn goes missing first and dave as his best friend is panicking abt it (in this one axel is shawns cousin???) #and then when they find him at last the weird deaths start leading to leonard finding sammy dead and this whole situation #and theres a whole different world underneath them and its up to leonard dave ella and sky to team up and prevent certain destruction #and theres slowburn leonave (with pining leonard and oblivious dave) #and leonard lives with his uncle whos understanding of his passions (unlike his dad who basically gave him away for the same reason) #and leonard's life is total opppsite from dave's #and they both know it #and omgggg this au has been a brainrot for so goddamn long #but idk why i just got a slew of ideas for it today #and like dave stays over at leonards at one point and leonard gives him his bed (like a gentleman) #and the next morning shawn barges in like “wheres my best friend” bc ever since he was taken he's been v paranoid abt losing the ppl he lov #and he hugs dave and daves like “how dirty are you rn” and shawns like “nothing yet i waited so that i can hug you when i see your dumb ass #and everyones like abt dave to leonard “idk if he's the right one for you” #but then later on dave saves his life by going a little bit unhinged classic dave-style #and ends up scaring a nurse and receptionist into retiring early #total drama #td leonard #td dave

I could play one of the most beautiful well crafted video games on the planet and it will never be as appealing to me as one that kind of sucks shit but has soooo much potential

#merlin.txt #just finished cyberpunk #i feel like they could have done sooo much more with the concepts they had #the game showed us a bit of everything in the world but i dont think they explored any one topic enough #and they pulled a ton of punches. the ending did not feel like this big 'grab your allies and fuck the corpos' thing it shouldve been #it was mostly just tying up johnnys loose end. one big loop. which i fuck with; but it wasnt rlly anticapitalist at all in that sense #i have a bunch of other thoughts on johnny but ill save it #but god. the beginning (act 1 and the first bits of act 2) where just soooo fucking good #and it rlly felt like it was going to gear up into this huge thing instead of just being one last hurrah for rogue and johnny #AUUUGHH theres just So Much Potential. goddamn #imo i think the major thing is that at some point it stopped being v's story. it was everyone elses #he has Very little agency. which is interesting but man this guy deserves better #when it comes down to it the game Is really shallow. whenever there is any sincerity in themes its very centrist #the fact is you dont rlly meet many characters in game who are Truly working to take down corps except for johnny and he doesnt rlly count #and if there Are its usually played for irony and laughs (looking at kerry) or theyre flat out kind of awful. #judys story is probably the best of the companions bc shes actively trying to help sex workers and its played very positively #i also think two of the main themes (letting go of the past; what it means to die) are Majorly helped by some incredible emotional beats #and w/o some just Really Really good scenes and good repetition of lines and motifs its very tropey. #ok i wasnt going to write a full thing. but let me be clear: i fucking loved this game. i would not be writing so much if i did not love it #the sun ending was Still soooo vindicating. v is still kicking and that's all that matters to me #(it helps that v is a Great protag like one of the Best voiced rpg protags next to hawke da2) #(which is kind of a funny comparison since i think both protags suffer from a lack of agency) #ok im done now
