'when people call you a freak they mean well' i GENUINELY thought that was parody for a second. how come choosing to engage in roleplay or reading stuff is retraumatizing but getting harassed by strangers isn't?
I try not to ask myself questions like âHow did people come to believe this kind of behaviour could plausibly called âkindâ or âlovingâ?â because I end up thinking about the kind of adults who would teach a child such a thing and then I donât know whether to laugh or cry.
Short answer: Itâs a deeply abusive worldview in which obedience to power structures is far more important than the rights or feelings of actual people.

sorry i didnât do this when i was drunk last night but i couldnât... stop thinking about âhowl = charm offensive / party face, sophie = the one who gets shit done, calcifer = getaway driverâ
JONMICHAELS! i love them. local human doesn't want to be monster, local monster DOESN'T want to be human.
:D iâm glad there are others out there lmaooo. weâre developing our Ships essentially in spoiler-isolation, beyond âJon/Elias goodâ and âPeter/Martin interesting because everyone who calls Jon/Elias immoral and wrong tends to group them togetherâ
liiike (feelings)
local monster doesnât want to be human, has emotions for human which may very well stabilize him further into having a âselfâ capable of experiencing emotions
(âemotionsâ which do not necessarily have to be positive. :V local monster very much resents humanâs employers, is existentially antithetical to humanâs patron, could very well hate human for making him feel things, and has come very close to killing human without too many qualms. and above everything, he is unpredictable as hell.
so what iâm saying is, Jon basically always has to ask himself, âso, is Michael gonna be really affectionate and doting today or is he going to be mildly homicidal and scary? and what exactly can i do about that either way ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻâ
i am just. interested. Serpent also has some particular Interestsâą here and is even batting around some ideas, but we want to uhhh yâknow, catch up entirely first.)
(also, itâs not that i dislike Helen or anything, but like⊠Michael specifically is this particular ball of creepy laughter and self-hate (meaning both âhate at Michael Shelley, that gullible failure who fucked up the Twistingâ and âhate at having a self to speak ofâ :D!) and how do you not love that.)

I love cats who are like, dumb and clever at the same time? can open a door but couldn't find their food if it was under their nose. I love cats that join you for naps, who want to cuddle you and sleep next to you when possible, and who want to talk to you about their days, and wait near the door when they hear you coming in, and I basically just described my cats because I love them So Much
birbteeths replied to your post âhoo boy, just saw explicitly âall avatars had some sort of Trauma â...â
I'VE RUN INTO THIS ALSO and i HATE IT
1. as if he didnât practice that evil monologue to sound as cool as possible. yes you have to tell the truth in a statement but truth is subjective weâve been over this, and you donât have to give the full story, and he *very clearly didnât*
2. *legally blonde voice* happy people just donât end the world, they just donât
i donât think weâre done with jonahâs story and i think that it is possible for him to be having a great time cackling and scheming and also to have Some Issues! i am SICK of this take. fuck you. also simon fairchild rights.Â
Hahah weâre glad itâs not just us being weirdly sensitive about the way people talk about trauma and tragic backstories! :â)
Iâm just âUggghâ about it because it overlaps with this weird growing hatred of giving villains reasons, it feels like? Like saying âX did bad things because Yâ means youâre excusing the bad things and think X was in the right lmao. Especially if itâs because of something like Trauma, because clearly anything that anyone does for Trauma reasons must be good and defensible, and the only reason a writer would give a character Trauma is to make them sympathetic and redeemable </sarcasm>.
I suppose we havenât explicitly seen someone say itâs a good writing decision more than just âlol oh my god Jonahâ for him to (ostensibly) have not have a tragic backstory. If that ever happens, I demand to be shown it. :â)
Also I love the idea of Elias trying to Sound Cool for the monologue lmfao. I mean, heâs the guy who had â((stepping out of the shadows)) Where theyâve always been, watching over my Instituteâ just like... ready to say. Did he write out a version of 160 where heâs just gushing over how amazing Jon has been and talking about all his very personal reasons for Evil in unsexily emotional ways, then go âHm no letâs try that againâ and burn it.
Like.. he doesnât exactly talk about himself much in that statement -- just what he did not why -- so itâs weird seeing people so goddamn certain that those whyâs donât exist, especially in a series so fixated on how and why people make Choices in awful circumstances.
Simon is just having a good goddamn time and would probably laugh at you for thinking he would even care about some tiny trauma or period of childhood. :V
re: perle and cacau's first meeting, perle is shouting 'i don't have legs!' in a bragging way and cacau shows up out of nowhere like 'ME EITHER' and then they high-five
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS 8D (Except all the dialogue is in interpretive dance because I just remembered that Perle and Cacau donât speak the same language...)
