#suramirlene

too fried to work on AF attacks from the heat but I Can do stupid meme redraws so here’s sura having a normal one aka basically how ch20 of the ace/puppet reveal w/ mortum onwards went. after fucking up the relationship with mortum (+ getting shot), sura proceeded to implode another two to three relationships about it (Chen and the steelsnap situation, then having a rebound with ricardo as juno, going to parkfield as juno, shooting Jake in the face, then getting crashstuck as juno) <3

bonus variation with the said getting fuckign shot hi Mirlene i’m so sorry about all of this

ch20:

"Please, give me the dignity of assuming that I know when I'm being played. I knew you were lying about something," a bitter laugh, "but that was fine because that is what people like us do. Manipulate people." $!{mhis} face has gone calm, controlled.       "But it became more than that, didn't it?" It hurts, watching ${mhim} like this, so very different from the ${mortum_gender} who'd smile fondly at you as you stole ${mhis} coat, made ${mhim} lose valuable work time just to hang out and have fun.

and

  #"I'm sorry, I should have told you sooner."     "I'm sorry," you say, voice heavy with regret. "I should have told you sooner."     "If you had…," Dr. Mortum grimaces, as if admitting this is causing ${mhim} actual pain, "…I probably wouldn't have trusted you enough to let it get this far."     "Maybe that would have been for the best." You let your shoulders sag. If you had broken this off sooner, it wouldn't hurt this bad. That you know, and yet you keep repeating past mistakes.

megamind

Megamind: What about everything you just said? About judging a book by its cover? Roxanne: Well, let’s take a look at the contents then, shall we? You destroyed Metro Man, you took over the city, and then you actually got me to care about you! (sighs) Why are you so evil? Tricking me? What could you possibly hope to gain? [Megamind says nothing, looking at her with sadness) Roxanne: Wait a minute. Oh. I don’t believe this. (He says nothing) Roxanne: Do you really think that I would ever be with you? Megamind: No.

ch20 again:

Lying to each other is fine in business, but that's not how a relationship is supposed to work. You have to admit that's what you have, that's what you want. It's become serious enough that thoughts are beginning to plague you in this body as well. You want to be able to do what ${puppet_name} would do, walk up and embrace ${mhim}, give ${mhim} a kiss, talk about ${mhis} work. And you can't. You never will. And not just because ${puppet_name} lies empty on the couch, but because even if ${mhe} would somehow forgive the lie, you are not the same person. $!{puppet_name} is charming and funny, and you're not. You're not attractive. You don't invite confidences or make witty remarks. You're sharp, harsh, curdled like old milk. You don't sleep, [...] and you're not even human. There is nothing ${mhe}'d want from you.

Would like to draw the beginning of the conversation about ortega cos man. This entire conversation is so important for sura's characterisation and its whole deal

merry yurimas have some risqué juno and suramirlene sketches I may or may not get around to rendering further depending on my health cos lol I am flaring up big time hashtag #chronicallyill

two more under the cut for being slightly more spicy 🙈

(undescribed) hello i emerge from the wiki editing fuege once more to post some pre and post revealed puppetmortum (kissing for the first time in weeks/months cos we might die my beloved)

bonus dove

sura playlist (a bit eclectic but i like my motifs abt performance/desire for love and attention and unreality in there)

juno playlist (the sabrina carpenter song is partly a joke lol. bits and pieces about ace, i found Two fitting songs called sucker lol)

junolene/suralene playlist (ok this one's out of order fr but too bad by sophie truax (thank you idle), heaven in hiding by halsey, this hell by rina sawayama, and those nights by bastille are the highlights - latter for the "and i do want you. for my sins" line that makes me go feral every time)

fuck it suraric (and sorta junoric) aka torment that old man playlist too. largely angst/bitter anger

some comments: oh no by marina is on both sura's and juno's playlist cos it's my ultimate juno and sura song whenever i think about them

If you are not very careful Your possessions will possess you TV taught me how to feel Now real life has no appeal It has no appeal It has no appeal It has no appeal It has no appeal It has no appeal I know exactly what I want and who I want to be I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh

perfectly blends sura's neuroses about identity and ambition with the cuckoo thing along with the disconnect w/ people and the puppetstuck situation

you first by paramore too

Everyone is a bad guy And there's no way, no way to know Who's the worst Karma's gonna come for all of us And I hope, well, I hope, I just hope She comes, comes for you first, oh Which wolf wins? I guess it really depends, just gotta wait and see Which one's appetite's the biggest? Turns out I'm living in a horror film Where I'm both the killer and the final girl So who, who are you?

like yup this is definitely identity issues imposter stuff and being hunted by impostergos

and more recently alice by lady gaga (which is a bop btw pls listen to it) which is very puppetstuck to me even if there's not a lot to say
