im such a big fan of how silly we are and also the concept that this is 100% canon footage— we’re literally those guys !!

Also, i offer tumblr the sick lil banner/hangar i made for the credit sequence— boy do i wish the bounty hunters had a real website that this could be the banner of LMAO

… and as I said before, WE’RE THOSE GUYS !! :D

The worms are greedy- we know this. Their drive is to take over and worm everyone so they can create a hivemind. Everything must be theirs.

But for Irsa... that drive has been very focused on Aura for a long while. When wormed, it seems the worm took one of the things that drove Asri the most and warped it to benefit them. And it makes for a really interesting character!

And like... it makes so much sense why when you think about it, because when Asri was going through probably one of the worst times of his life, where did he go? Where did he find safety and a second chance and the person who saved him when he had no where else to go?

But the thing that also breaks my heart about this, is all of those things have been taken from him in one way or another. Everything around them could bee a threat, he's not even safe in his own head. This second chance? being a bounty hunter with Romeo?that very thing could end up being the thing that gets him killed when he does get off planet unless he does something that he ethically has problems with.

And probably worst of all for them,, for the second time ever in all the years he's known her, he can't trust his best friend. He can't trust her to watch his back, he doesn't know that she won't hurt him if she finds this out, and that must be a feeling thats so alien to him because of how much they usually rely on each other. He can't lean on the person who was there for him when no one else was

Even the Titannias memory itself has been sullied, what with that being the place the parasite got control over his body (probably not the last time, but definitely the first)

So breakdown of thoughts:

we got those guys back!!! Yayyy! But still on people eating planet that is def going to eat people bc the worms did in fact just finish building something for people eating planet. Chekhov here is your gun please and thank u

Asri and Nerve :( they’re so codependent bonded by trauma lil guys

But no seriously I think they’re going to have a fascinating relationship and there are so so many layers to it. First off you have Evren and Asri’s pre-worm relationship, which was neutral at best and mostly for Romeo’s sake. But even then, it was negative towards the end bc “Evren” stood up Romeo for their date. Then obviously, you have Nerve and Asri’s relationship, which was a shitshow. Nerve stabbed Asri in the heart and killed Aura, and infected Asri with worm. Not great. But then you add Irsa into it which is like… oof. Because it sounds like Evren and Asri were aware the entire time (or at least most of it), they were just trapped and not in control. Which means that Evren and Asri heard and felt all of the barbs Nerve and Irsa through at each other, knows exactly how dysfunctional the worms were because of their personal issues. Asri knows about Evren’s gender identity now and also knows that the worm lowkey forcibly feminized him. Evren knows that Asri’s biggest fear is being useless and failing, and all the issues that come with being the endling. And in the literal fucking hive mind, where Nerve and Irsa knew what the other was feeling and doing and thinking pretty much 24/7, down to sharing pain, which means Evren and Asri very likely felt all that too. Now, post-deworming soup, they’re even more connected bc they just died like ten times together. Yeah others got wormed, but Asri and Evren got wormed. They’re the only two people, really, who can truly understand just how bad it was— both what they (Nerve and Irsa) did, and how it felt to not be in control of any of it. Now they’re dewormed, but in bodies that are no longer entirely theirs because they’re still all gray and wrong. 

Basically I’m so excited to see how sad these two will be bc they were so Bluetooth connected and they got violently ripped out of each other’s heads (and for good reason but still)

Which also like.. Evren and Asri know each other now. They were fully fused into a hivemind together, disowned by the boss worm, just the two of them. That’s gonna have consequences

Side bar but: Just now realizing that this felt familiar and couldn’t figure out why until… Guys. It’s literally Finn and Robin from Momboo’s Halloween one shot. Sherb and Art love playing traumatized codependent lil guys together. This is Finn and Robin but like two steps to the left and little less gay and little more evil. Even down to the god damn water issues and genderTM of it all. Possessed by creature that makes you hurt other people and prevents you from telling people about it, power of friendship saves the day, but oh no Sherb and Art’s characters are traumatized and forever changed (both in mind and body) by the possession/defeating of monster. SherbertQuake56 and ArtfulJayRenegade congrats on your new traumatized codependent lil guys you two have a type and I love it

The cure. Oh the cure /pos. Just… the beautiful connection of what the cure is, and how its pieces from everyone, but those pieces could only be given once they trusted and believed in each other. Like… me when power of friendship and love bc yeah it should work like that

The cure. Oh the cure /neg. What do you mean they were drowning in dewormer goop for five days, dying over and over and over again in an extremely painful way while the parasites were scraped out of them. Did it have to happen? Yes. Is this a whole new boatload of trauma (esp for Asri, who already had issues with drowning and dying? Who’s said before his biggest fear is dying and with it his entire planet, all his people, being gone with no record they ever existed)? Also yes.

The twins :(((

The bounty hunters (and mi-go) :((((

Art and cosplays belong to Sherbertquake56 and Heyhay13 !!!

Song: I love you so - The Walters

ICARUS this one is fairly self explanatory, as it is in the name, but this is very icarus coded. but i feel the need to talk about the best lyric in this cause fucking hell, it is so coded "The replica of a runner-up; You were made for skies, but you called your bluff; Now you'll never be good enough" me when they are literally the carbon copy of fable, who failed, and just how failure coded the entire song is. i just needed to call attention to it (also shout out to this song for getting me to look into more of the starset discography as i was looking up other songs called icarus, thus leading me to have my fav band)

Waiting on the Sky to Change this song is fairly obvious as well, and it is already on the official ajax playlist. but this is ajax. in fact, it is so season 10 eod ajax, it is on the damn nose. all the lines about running into tornados WHICH AJAX LITERALLY DOES. i dont think i need to keep going, but yeah. i love ajax yall

Let it Die this is the song that i infamously used to break sherb, which is also funny to me cause they had a different coding than i did, so imma talk about both of them. this song did also make it onto an official sherb playlist for icarus. sherbs interpretation was prison duo, cause it is. refusing to believe the other is gone and doing anything you can to get them back when they wouldn't want you to, its so late season 3 prison duo. my interpretation was very fable about isla, mainly for the first verse, cause it starts with talking about breaking someone when trying to fix them, which is Exactly what fable did to isla when taking her memories, and then not knowing how to fix what they broke, cause yeah. it makes me think of them so much but hey, like father like son on this one i guess

Monster this is so season 2 prison duo to me. very toxic and makes many mentions to being caged, its just so them. plus i really like the lines about the world you created, cause centross cause the season 1 reset, therefore being responsible for the season 2 world, i just think it is so tasty

Halo this song is funny to me, cause it only became more coded after i gave it to sherb. this is ashril coded to me, specifically lovebirds coded. for one, the song starts with lines about running away from something coming after you, which is so perfect for ash running from castral, but then the song goes on to talk about someone being there to be with you, which is so marcel and ash. AND THEN IT GOT SO MUCH MORE CODED AND SAD WHEN MARCEL DIED WHILE THE SONG IS LITERALLY CALLED HALO! i just, i cry and i love it

THE BREACH this song is so coded to the queue, cause it is just about going through a portal and then chaos follows, which is the queue. no lies, i really want this song to become a queue animatic, but i cant draw and it hurts me.

Starlight this song is so icarus in the worldport, wanting to get home to their loved ones, but what is fun about this one, is that i redeemed it before icarus came home, and how it is much more coded, as icarus and rae went through some shit to get them home and i care about them. i really like all the lines about how far away they are, but that they know they will manage to get back to each other

DARK THINGS this song was so fun, cause this was from when we got the asri playlist and nothing else and sage and i started to go feral with trying to figure out what he was about and were trying to code songs to him, and i thought this one seemed like the right vibe. and when i redeemed it, sherb said it was coded in a way they couldn't say, and that is how I SOMEHOW PREDICTED THE ISRA ARC BEFORE WE EVER MET ASRI /silly. but yeah, me when this song is all about becoming something else, and the line about there being a demon inside, it is so tasty

TRIALS this song is fighting boys, through and through. it is so being in the pit on hypixal, that when i go into the pit on hypixal, this is my go to song to listen to (and is on my hypixal blobo's playlist). but yeah, this song is so never ending fighting coded, so reo and ajax and caine, but mainly reo for sureee

Unbecoming this song is so very ripley coded, cause it is all about the ocean and the monsters below, plus talking abut the ocean will be their unbecoming, when ripley literally drowned, i care. plus there is the part about finding someone who you think is a good person, but they turn out to not be, with that being Jefferson, i just have such thoughts

It Has Begun this song is so mythos and magic coded, specifically episodes 3 and 4, cause it literally talks about a maze, the line about the lost being heroes, it is just so good and is so them in the labyrinth, once again, i want this to be an animatic and im upset that i cant draw

Bringing It Down this song is helix coded to me, but now it can also be asri, cause it is all about something else being inside of someone that is going to lead to everyone else getting hurt, so either the worm in bound or the parasite in among us, i just like it a lot

DIE FOR YOU this song is so similar to let it die in my mind, except this is the prison duo part where it is more from centross's perspective, since he literally does die for icarus, though it does have parts from icarus's perspective as well, where they talk about having to be alone and him not being there, i just care about it

Carnivore this song is also so helix and asri coded to me, and even made it onto an official sherb playlist for asri. but yeah, another song about something inside that not supposed to be there that is gonna get people killed, so isra or the parasite. plus with how much this song is about manipulation, it was just too perfect

and that is all the current songs on my "Songs I've Shoved at Sherb" playlist (yes that is a real playlist i have) and why i requested all of them. also there are still more in my list to show sherb, so this list is far from complete, but it all just depends on when i get more song redeems, but mark my words, there will be more starset.
