Lucifer Morningstar, The Mary Sue From Hell

so this mind-blowingly fantastic comic by Zarla (i remember when they had a pokemon website in the late 90s/early 2000s on the anime web turnpike) put into words what i felt, once the shock wore off, and i'd really processed what happened in this scene

(yes i stopped the post to make this video for it, it enhances the flavor)

The realization (by us❤️, the player, no clue wat Kris is thinkin outside of oh god no no no no) that Noelle isn't being warped and corrupted because of us. Its that we've given her the power to brave enough to become who she is and always was

the Noelle we saw in ch5 weird route reminds me of this one panel from the comic Zebra Girl:

"Some people are only good because they aren't brave enough to be bad."

Susie always talked about going "crazy" with Noelle, and thats one of the big reasons Noelle admired her for so long. Susie was living a life free from everyone else's approval or expectations, unlike Noelle who had to be agreeable/small and passive

But her dialog at the lake about feeling like her life wasn't her own? how she felt like she was just stuck in a holding pattern as "Noelle who can only do Noelle things"? How she was just watching this person named Noelle™ through a glass screen, completely detached from them? Like she was piloting this person around the way we pilot Kris ?

Noelle to me is a kid that, in order to make up for the loss of the other kid her parents had, felt like she had no choice but to become the perfect child. If she became ✨The perfect daughter who never makes problems and gets good grades✨ then that would fill in the gaping hole in her family left by Dess

but that wasn't ever who she ever was, and she's spent years sacrificing her true self, her true wants, suffocating (drowning?😉) the real her. and that could be a reason Kris and her drifted apart, because Kris could no longer relate to her new "never angry/never speaks up/always does as she's told" identity

(we've seen glimpses into the person she really is through her love of horror movies and such, but the rest her true self is on lock down like somthing out of a level in Psychonauts)

But her life hasn't gotten any better by acting this way. Dess is gone, her mom has grown cold/controlling/distant and her fucking dad is dying. Everything around her is falling apart. the Dreemurr Family is broken and no longer like the second family to her they once were. Azzy went off to college and Kris and her aren't close the way they were as kids

and Dess is never coming back

*saying the above while making air quotes fingers and winking at the camera*

Noelle's words at the lake sound to me like the words of someone who's been having their soul slowly crushed to death, whos been forced to live in quiet desperation...

suddenly being handed the way to escape

by us❤️, through Kris

Kris isn't Kris, but somthing else is in there, and it can/wants give her the power to do impossible things. She's dreamed of running away long before we took over Kris, but it was always just escapism to cope. But now?

I think the harshest thing that players are gonna have to come to terms with the next time we see her is the fact that this is who she was deep down all along, and that once Kris wakes up in wherever "side b" is...

we're gonna see some raw ass real Noelle and its probably not gonna be too endearing at first

*edit* should clarify i don't mean she's gonna like, start SnowGrave-ing (snowgravey-ing?) people with abandon. i mean like, having boundaries and being hyper assertive and dropping all the usual social niceties one has to preform as a member of society? She'll probably over do it a bit, at least at first, just riding the high and getting it out her system-

Then suddenly you changed

and now I don't know who you are

Or could it be

That I never really knew you from the start - [x]

Due to my continuous posting you may assume that I'm okay and that my family is okay, and that is correct. We were really lucky that all the damage we had was a huge scare at most but there are thousands of families that have lost their houses, belongings, and worse their family members.

The city of La Guaira was the most affected without a doubt, what was a nice tropical city now looks like a post apocalyptic scene with tons of buildings being reduced to rubble and a lot of people still trapped beneath all of them or in departments of buildings that look like they're about to fall at any moment (and it can happen, as we're still getting aftershocks as high as 5.2 in intensity everyday)

And if you ask about our government? They're literally doing fuckall right now, they only declared an emergency state and then went Radio silent for the next two days, only for the 3rd day to come out trying to take all the credit and even at times preventing rescue teams from both national and international people from helping.

I'm just here informing that I'm okay and my entire family is okay, plus sharing some light on it to those who didn't know.

If you wish to help donating, you can do so here:

Important Update: the platform is no longer accepting volunteers due state persecution 🙁 If you want to help still and live abroad, please consider donate to certified entities acting in Venezuela without government connections. My Venezuelans friends told me about these two places where your donation will for sure arrive to the people who need them:

Caritas Venezuela - Donate

Yummy Rides - Donate

If you can't donate money, donate your time to your local Venezuelan community! Most places need hands to separate and pack the donations before sending them out.

I will maintain the old post up in case someone knows another initiative similar, but the one I originally wrote about is no longer available.

ORIGINAL POST UNDER THE LINE:

Mas información para brindar ayuda a Venezuela, con un enfoque para la discapacidad.

Cybcrgbarbie nombra un censo digital de la Conapdis venezolana disponible a através de drive, y a la fundación Procura que se concentra en la discapacidad motriz. Además, el gobierno abrió una línea telefónica gratuita para brindar asistencia psicológica (0800-AYUDA-01) y por último el portal localizapacientes.com para rastrear a personas recientemente hospitalizadas en centros de Caracas, Miranda, La Guaira, Aragua y Carabobo.

Meet Tsunami, a dog rescued from the streets and trained to save people from the rubble.

If you can, please consider donating something to help Venezuela.Almost a week ago, the country was struck by two major earthquakes, just 39 seconds apart, with magnitudes 7.5 and 7.2. I’m Venezuelan — I know how things work there. I’m okay, my family is okay, but the ache I feel in my heart (and that every Venezuelan out there probably feels) is indescribable.Hundreds of buildings collapsed. It happened on a national holiday, so most people were at home watching the World Cup. There are almost 2,000 confirmed deaths, thousands of injured people, and more than 50,000 people missing under the rubble.

It’s devastating. That’s a lot of people. Many lost everything — their lives, their families, their homes, their belongings. Imagine losing your whole world in a country where the minimum wage isn’t even $10.I’m heartbroken. And I don’t have a significant following to ask for donations, so I’m doing what I can here. If you want to help, you can search for organizations like:

UNICEF Venezuela

https://www.unicef.org/venezuela

Cáritas Venezuela

https://caritasvenezuela.org

Cáritas Europe

https://www.caritas.eu

Cáritas USA

www.catholiccharitiesusa.org

They are providing humanitarian aid, shelter, food, and support for families who lost everything.I’m devastated, and yet life goes on — even for people who have nothing left. This isn’t just about the earthquake; it’s about the people who feel abandoned by the world and still have to keep going in a country where surviving is already so difficult.I really hope you can help, or pray, or send strength — whatever works.

I saw a video of a little girl receiving donated clothes, and she was so happy trying everything on… Anything helps. Thank you.

That's Tsunami with his owner 🥹 they have finally stopped working after rescuing 350 lives.
