Riya: The Obsessing

This really recontextualises Grimal's earlier comments about never getting jumped anymore. And being told, pre-emptively, not to jump others.

Her enthusiasm to use the sex paddle yaoi paddle had been a funny bit until now, but now it's....A bit sad. Definitely seems like, due to her "anger issues", she was prone to violence. Perhaps "defending Kitten's honour" was just a good excuse for her to get into a scrap...Though I don't think that her stated reason was a lie, either.

Also, in the most affectionate way possible, head trauma would....Explain Grimal a fair bit. Though it doesn't sound like she was particularly well-adjusted and healthy in the first place.

Ohhh, Grimal.

If she had a character sheet, I'd put money she has the Masochist trait. In the traumatic way, not the fun one.

From this, I think it's a decent guess that her dad was physically abusive, and most likely hated and belittled her interests.

I feel so sad for her! No wonder she became a weeb. She was already socially isolated. Give someone that's drowning a life ring and they'll take it, even if it turns out the ring is tied to a shark. She probably went so far into it as an escape from her shitty life.

Also, Jesus Christ, the size of that blood stain. She absolutely should not be walking around! Since nobody has made a big deal of that in an unusual way, I think that definitely rules her out as the ghoul. Her surviving being put through a wall, we can probably put down to the same heightened reality that let Marckus survive 30-odd head stomps and being thrown into a bus.

Looks like we have a soft confirmation of the release date for the next audiolog?

So, here's a thought that occurred to me on relistening to this audio log while working.

Why is he thinking about Austrian time?

Thinking of EST makes sense, since he's American. We can reasonably assume whether he comes from in America is in that timezone. But Austria? Hmm.

So, my theory is...She is Austrian. Boy's mother, presumably. I can't see why he'd consider the timezone important unless it was an important place to him, considering it's up there with America.

Anyone got an explanation as to why fucking piece of shit Tumblr is trying to push TERF shit on me when I'm trying to tag some HTP fanart?
