haha hyperfixations go brr

From Otome's dialogue during this event, we learn that destroying the universe is not wholly outside of a Bug's control, even though that's what it was like for the player. Instead, it is a creeping sense of wrongness growing into a near-irresistable urge to right this wrong – something that can only be achieved by destroying the universe. Everyone else gives into it, even Gina, who has a similar self-sacrificing event in Allocosia.

But Otome is like 'ok but destroying the universe would destroy my friends too?' And so she doesn't. She successfully resist the urge to destroy and puts herself into cold sleep. Absolute hero. This whale is the strongest person in the universe.

If you tried to hit this girl with an axe she'd dodge, and if you somehow managed to hit her the slime would catch part of the blow and she'd barely even flinch. "Hm? Oh it doesn't hurt that bad! Nothing compared to the sting of a purple rockeater, that was bad." Meanwhile you can see bone and she's actively holding her arm up against her body. Stella takes her to the infirmary in a panic and by the time they get there Comet's murder slime friend has stopped the bleeding but decided to start eating the bone and Comet's all like uuuuuuugh now I'm gonna need to boil it out and Stella goes what the FUCK does that MEAN.

happy salt air and the rust on your door month to all those who celebrate

like, remnan’s trauma means that he’s unable to process any signs of affection without panicking. he doesn’t accept people being kind to him because, in his mind, that equates to a kind of manipulation. everyone has ulterior motives and are looking to use him in some way or another.

and raqio has been raised to totally reject any emotions and that straightforward bluntness is absolutely perfect for him? like, they’re open about wanting to use him to support their (vague) plans, and using a collaboration to benefit their voting bloc and that paradoxically reassures remnan because he knows what their angle is. their self-aggrandizement is so simple that he reads them perfectly.

raqio does, of course, have emotions. they care very deeply about remnan. they just buy into their own hype enough that they deny that motivation for their actions, even to themselves, even when he’s not in earshot. there’s always a secondary justification there, albeit paper thin and easy to see through. we know you’re not getting rid of sq just because she’s not necessary, raqio. stop being silly. but that denial is enough for the incredibly insecure remnan to accept and feel comfortable. they’re both happy like this.

SETSU: nonbinary legend. deutaroganist. very smart and kind but they also throw a guy out of the airlock for being annoying, calling them babe and misgendering them. everyone wants them, fish fear them.

RAQIO/RACIO: nonbinary legend number TWO. know it all little BASTARD. their hobbies include a little trolling, having a superiority complex and betraying their allies if currently convenient. i absolutely adore them.

YURIKO: fucked up cyber space-shrine maiden. LITERALLY yoinks the protagonist's plot armor after the tutorial is over. she is extremely scary

SHIGEMICHI: this is an 80 y/o human man who had an accident as a child and because he had a fucking special interest in aliens or smn like that his dad got him some shiny new skin. which makes him look like a stereotypical alien. hes as silly and goofy as he looks. an absolute FOOL. i love him.

STELLA: the ship AI. just wants to be A Real Boy. PAINFULLY heterosexual but she's very sweet.

JONAS: ship captain. he is so fucked up i dont even know whats wrong with him JUST LOOK AT HIM. fucking SPACE COWBOY. hes a weirdo. he doesn't fit in and he doesn't wanna fit in. i have never seen him without that stupid hat on. thats weird.

KUKRUSHKA: mute but like. i dont fucking know, ~telepathatically~ communicates. something is also wrong with her. one time she asked me to take a bunch of people out for her because she Didnt Trust Them and i did! and then she killed me. cunt. shes also like? a doll???

SQ: canonically a test tube baby. local bisexual gaslight-gatekeep-girlboss. she's a bit of a manipulative bitch but we love her for it.

CHIPIE: LITERALLY cat otherkin. has an entire cat thats been transplanted into his neck to aid with his transition into a cat. i swear to god im not fucking with you.

OTOME: beluga whale. BELUGA WHALE. IN A LITTLE CART. WITH LITTLE MECHANICAL HANDS. ARE YOU SEEING THIS SHIT. HELLO? HELLO??????

i ran out of PICTURES PER POST. I HATE YOU TUMBLR. theres a couple of characters missing (namely sha-ming, gina, comet and remnan) but i made sure to have the most relevant ones here. but tl;dr

sha-ming is the guy who gets thrown out of the airlock for getting on setsu's nerves

gina is literally just some chick

comet is the host for an alien space mold that can break loose and kill everyone on the ship
