ok i swear to god last ramble post. i have to go somewhere. but recently ive been noticing that it feels like people havent actually read SR's source material. not even like. strangled red itself. it feels like people forget a lot of the plot and details of the Actual story in favor of fanonization . that might be off base but idk steven feels more like a concept to people than an actual character sometimes, which confuses me as someone whos extraordinarily and insanely autistic about him as a Character. as a Guy.

please remember that steven constantly visited mikis grave and canonically became extraordinarily depressed, refused peoples gifts of lemonade and coffee ( and likely impliededly other food ) to him, and probably overslept a lot when he wasnt doing all'a that. also he has dialogue. not a lot of it but he does. mike apologizes briefly if you talk to him post-incident in the context of the game. etc.

also the steven gamer thing because its extraordinarily easy to find. strangled. ctrl + g. Games. this also describes his house! which is interesting . whenever i think of two floor houses formats undertale has poisoned me to think of sans and papyrus-esque houses. which. you can technically take away from this it only really says how many rooms there are.

not how theyre formatted. but based on how pokemon gen 1 houses look it prob is just a bigger version of reds house formatwise but with added stuff. and stuff that might honestly be in reds house they just dont show the unnecessary stuff like the hallways of the house, his moms room, and all'a that in actual pokemon games

#wispy chatters #if for any reason you havent read strangled red i suggest the remaster #same as the base text it just has Images and is overall formatted nicer to read

my interp of steven is basically whidphm steven . he's a tall, brooding bastard who kind of hates everyone. grown ass man. guy you see at the end of a dark alleyway. he'll hit you with that Stare.

#wispy chatters #headcanons #grown ass man meaning depending on how you calculate reds age and the year r/g/b take place in hes like #30 to late 20s if going by current time. #probably older bc r/g/b taking place in the 2000s feels wrong as hell . #hes a 90s/80s kid basically

whats going on

#wispy talks #crazy frog. #thats not what i meant to put in these tags #i haveso many thoughts on steven... sigh.... #I cannot start getting egotistical about my interpretation ( chanted to myself in a mirror ) #but it is funny when i see a headcanon i made like word for word pop up in other peoples stuff #do people know the steven is canonically a gamer thing comes from strangled . have any of you read the prequels . . . #im not like people who just make shit up im not talkin abt no Strangled red secret sequels. Thats just in strangled . #Are you insane like me. Truthfully . #Do you people understand how autistic steven is in the “I FUCKING HATE PEOPLE” way . Do you. He would stare at someone for 5 hours #Hes such a dysfunctional loserboy (affectionately) and after the incident. well #hes a dysfunctional guy who scares ppl bc hell just stare at them. #hes also semiverbal pre and post incident but esp post incident and i think thats important. guy who doesnt say much ever #thank you alcor for rping steven with me...

I also wanna see hcs of Steven with an autistic reader (dating hcs ig, I'm also a Strangled Red simp and I'm autistic)

remember me. im alive . Im here to heal the drought . i am too tired mentally to do the whole format shebang maybe ill dress it up when i wake up ( it is currently 6:21 am for me and im not tired yet )

Actually i dont think i do anything that extra or fancy with my formatting other than the title which i added right now. so . Enjoy

steven x autistic reader!

♡ he's autistic as well ... like that "I hate people" type'a autism. at least nowadays! i think he used to have trouble with volume and tone before the incident and just generally get easily overwhelmed... and either freeze or start to go on a walk to take his mind off of things. stuff like that.

♡ He's also insanely autistic about battle strategies and its his special interest of sorts . like... not that much, he did ( in my interpretation and what is kind of implied? ) sweep everything with miki because she's a special charizard who just kind of. Is stronger in all ways.

♡ BUT! i think i mean this in the more pokeani style of battles - he's crafty and very observant of his surroundings and how to "Cheat" battles with it. wink

♡ anyways yeah autistic reader . hi . You came for dating hcs right .

♡ he tends to just live in his house, lurking, stalking, barely moving out of bed to eat - so you might have to help him with that. ... buuuut, if you're similar, then you two will simply just sit in bed staring at the ceiling all day . napstablook core

♡ he hasn't had much stimulation outside of taking care of his basic needs and like. i'unno. being alive in general. so if you have an interest he isn't too aware of, he's always very happy to listen.

♡ he's an extremely good listener- he'll be nodding and mostly silent, but he may ask questions once he's more comfortable with you. he is actively trying to engage with your interests, although his own autism makes his tone a little stagnant- if he sounds uninterested, it's not intentional. his voice just comes off like that.

♡ he particularly likes games and music although the interests and energy for them have wavered a lot for him personally - so if your interests align with those sorts of things, he'll definitely be on board. you being into something in a genre he used to like definitely gives him enough energy to try again.

♡ this eventually does end up with him having more energy to engage with things that used to give him joy in a similar way . mostly playing games... like, a pokemon stadium or battle revolution game if those existed in-universe? because he can't exactly uh. Battle for real anymore without hurting those around him. of course, he always has charizard on his teams front and center. it's not Her. but, it'll suffice as long as he distracts himself.

♡ truly, it's just like this. introduce things to him and he'll be eager to try or listen or talk to you about them.

♡ if you get overwhelmed anywhere, he is quick to move you out of the area and also maybe take away the overwhelming Element. if it's a person, well. he'll just basically glare at them. a silent 'Fuck Off'

♡ also he will personally appreciate it if you get him more clothes. having just a few sets is fine for his depression, but the more he realizes it, the fabric feels awful sometimes. mainly, his trainer outfit he usually goes outside with - it's very worn and torn and the material was always a little cheap... if you get him a replacement, he'll be all the happier for it.

♡ he'd also give the old one to you if you cared about that sort of thing, but he'd be tentative because. well. it's worn and torn...?

♡ unless you fix it up and sew it somehow. that'd be nice. Im getting offtrack

♡ if you draw, write, or do creative things - he's always happy to see them. he likes to simply wrap his arms around your waist, resting his head on your shoulder as he looks at what you're doing now and again... it's, calming? like, really calming. to be honest, he could do that forever and ever.

♡ until you two get hungry of course. but, until then.

♡ he does also of course engage and ask about things like your OCs ( if you have them ), worlds, writing, dynamics, headcanons - anything, everything.

♡ generally things like this are what he's happiest with . watching something with you or watching you do something as he lays back and relaxes. seeing you enjoy the things you like makes him feel a lot better even though its something so simple .

♡ ... S!3v3n is also similar, he's just much more quiet- basically nonverbal - about how he goes about it. those red eyes will always be watching intently though .

sorry if these were barebones i didnt rlly know what to Go off of but yeah . he is autistic too !!!! the Tismry

concept i just came up with... maybe Missingno / M#' / Miki is what makes him like. S!3v3n??? like obviously the popular interpretation is that missingno fucks him up, but like. what if just not having miki/missingno out or around him Stops it. And fainting them counts as it not being there anymore. S!3v3n is like. Tethered to missingno being there. Without it hes just normal steven.

if you ignore his emo ramblings after this ( something something ill kill you grahhh ill kill you type shit ) then it kind of seems like thats the intent? after his names uncorrupted he just becomes normaler.

something that i just noticed in doors open is that in this little segment it goes from S!3v3n -> St3v3n -> Stev3n ... love finding new details in writing . Guys hes uncorrupting(???

#wispy chatters #tldr fun semi implied concept is that fainting corrupted miki / m makes steven become normal. even if only for a second. #bc it relies on missingno physically being there for him to be s!3v3n fully maybe

About the Steven’s hair thing: IIRC, SMR himself said that Steven’s hairstyle from when he becomes S!3V3N was inspired by Sadako Yamamura from Ringu. Take that as you will.

this only makes sense given... everything ab steven .

most of my posts are complaining now instead of writing bc i have burnout and am focused on like. idk. rping and drawing more instead rn, but god. Theres such a drought of steven strangled red content... nothing on ao3 recently thats really of substance. nothing in the tumblr tag really. only stuff on twt... sad

#wispy chatters #theres like 3 rlly good fics under the strangled red tag. ok more like ??? 6ish??? And then the rest are middling to bad to #'What The Fuck' #also so many of them steven is just a side character that doesnt matter in the super early fics and in some of the more regularly updated 1 #sighs wsitfully.... steven / strangledred / pokepasta in general has such a cult following but. #not enough to keep stuff with them consistently made.

PLEASE CONTINUE RAMBLING ABT MISSINGNO I WANNA HEAR MORE OF UR THOUGHTSSS

basically, the missingno ramble came about bc i always thought that initially, pokemon were always supposed to be able to be turned into data and shit. eg, how pokeballs even work, how the pc works, how trading works, etc.

this is kind of long ( not really but a few paragraphs ( nevermind i made it longer. ) ) so im gunna put it under a readmore just so i dont irritate ppl in whatever tags i put this in

idk if theres evidence for this, it just feels like pokemon implied that more and has been recently backtracking and going "oh no theyre not actually like DATA lol." and kind of retconning it. but maybe im pulling all of this out my ass but idk it felt early gen pokemon was much more in that sort of direction. there were a lot of different directions in early gen pokemon in general, i feel

ANYWAYS given that i subscribe to that more than whatever theyre doing with the canon explanations for shit now ( also not helped by my general fascination with technology, ai, and glitches esp in fiction and how interesting they are if written well ), i think missingno is just . a glitched pokemon. which obviously. but. Like. it used to be a pokemon. they can be made easily if something fucks up in the data transfer from physical to pokeball or pc or during trading or something like that.

well, maybe not easily- i imagine missingnos are only made from particularly bad cases of this. complete malfunctions and breaks, probably. which would also be why missingno and glitch pokemon like the bad egg, M', female symbol, ? symbol, whatever other ones you can think of were much more prominent early gen and pittered out more in later games ( not entirely obviously, but yknow ) - technology advanced more and became more secure so these types of things happened less often.

and i think in terms of possible mew clone, they are clones of mew that could not turn into ditto because an error happened technologically. instead of biologically/physically, which is how ditto wouldve been made. why are they in the shore? who knows. maybe theyre kind of thoughtless and just somehow get physically dumped into the cinnabar shore. god knows why its kind of hard to integrate game glitch to actual story/lore but by god im doing it.

anyways. because of this in strangled red, i think missingno isnt an all powerful entity. i think its just something that fills miki's corpse with garbage data and puppets her around like a zombie. which would be oddly fitting for a pokemon that i think could be caused by a trading fiasco or other technological malfunctions that happen to pokemon in those sorts of things.

miki just got the worse of it physically, not glitch-wise. she just died. which, at least she got to go out and not be in eternal limbo. until, well, steven stepped in, but who knows if shes even sentient enough or if her soul is even in missingno-ified miki at all. i think its slightly there, just a fragment of it- but its mostly a husk.

when the trading incident happened, i imagine that if there's an error the failsafe in whatever trading mech you use immediately sends the pokemon back to the original trainers, but something screwed up in the wiring so she likely turned physical at the wrong time while still in the trading tube, which then ended up with the wires being wrapped around her neck, or maybe even stabbing into it.

i like to think in the strangled red universe it's a not very common thing that maybe even was the first or only reported incident. steven and mike just got extremely unlucky.

... which probably did not help stevens rage about the incident, losing his prized unique charizard who could evolve faster than any charmander ever has, and tank supereffective damage easily amongst other things and to the fact that it probably only happened to him. or at minimum a few other people ever.

why does steven know about missingno? likely tales when he was in cinnabar during his original journey about it. strangled red is a year or so before the canon story but i doubt the mewtwo thing happened exactly a year before reds story, so missingno still being there. yknow. makes sense if you think it exists like how ditto does. ( failed mew clone ) .

the only reason missingno has power is because it is a glitch, it is corruption, physicalized - in a way it was not meant to be even further than how a glitch is. pokemon can turn into data. you can see how that'd work. anything that can be digitized in the pokemon world, it has power over. i imagine something thats meant to be there like a normal pokemon or human would get corrupted by it if it touched or remained in an area too long, or if it were commanded to attack. which is why missingnos in universe have insane levels, odd or stolen cries ( along with the fact some of them just used to be a normal pokemon likely ), and are physically just a jumble of data or taking images from random pokemons appearances, and even the skeletons or ghosts of them.

ironically they are like miki, but if miki after the incident corrupted digitally and physically, and went into a state of limbo instead of outright just dying due to technical malfunctions. they probably barely remember their former lives or what they were supposed to be and become very mindless.

i also think this has interesting implications for the trade incident if it ever happened again with pokemon with trade evolutions. i don't think they'd die, i think they'd become corrupted in a similar but different way to missingno - like an unintentional and glitchy evolution akin to porygon-z.

anyways.

steven is desperate for anything and everything to bring her back, and maybe tried multiple methods beforehand if you think he was that desperate, but hey. missingno worked. even if miki's just a puppeted corpse being controlled by a mindless thing that used to be a pokemon. who is ironically, controlling a corpse of a pokemon.
