she riff on my trax til i experiment

oooh good question. my mind immediately went to red king ren and limlife martyn and how they would enable each other in the worst possible ways. i think red hand martyn was (for once) a restraining factor that helped ren keep his sense of self in 3L — holding him when the bloodlust overcame him, being a sounding board for his paranoia and anxiety — and i can't see limlife martyn being anywhere as gentle. ren goes, "hold me, hand, the blood's dripping into my eyes," and martyn would just be like, "i don't see the problem? just go kill more people about it?"

(also limlife martyn would totally go through with red spring. he'd betray ren and it would completely break him. it would be great.)

This goes beyond Pyro as well, and I think a lot of other CC's reactions to this situation are very telling as to how they view their audience as a whole. CC's saying that creating fan art and fanfic (of their CHARACTERS) OF ANY KIND being "weird and unhealthy" even if not posted publically and just written within private servers to share with friends is an unbelievably awful take that really shows just how much contempt some creators have towards their audience. Not even to speak on comparing the amount of time and effort and genuine love for a story that goes into creating fanwork to AI generated slop.
