Thinking abt how much I love oni's writing again... In particular, "a seed is planted" continues to be one of if not my favorite logs because despite the troubling details and implications that come with it, it's the one thing in the entirety of the decaying corpse of gravitas that genuinely leaves us with a grain of hope (a seed if you will) and makes oni as a whole a lot more bitter sweet as while earth may not have survived, the dupes did, and after their horrible origins and the shit that many of them went through, in due time they'll finally get to just live, they're free now, and even if Olivia's sleep is end of a tragedy, the world will keep moving forward with or without those who've been lost

#rat rambles #oni posting #like I guess I just rly love that oni both manages to commit to being a tragedy while also leaving a world still in motion #like Im glad that olivia didnt get a bittersweet ending and instead got a fucking miserable one #while at the same time the dupes are still left there to keep moving forward #well ok more so I like how the narrative shifts into smth quite beautiful when seen from the dupes perspectives #which is also why I like that the dupes are rarely talked abt directly in the lore logs #idk I just feel like a seed is planted wouldnt hit as hard to me if the dupes were talked abt more #its the same sort of incedental storytelling that I like abt the rest of oni's writing ig #also I just think them being a major part of the lore logs would rly take away from the greater horrors and tragedies of gravitas #like idk I think it would have been a lot more boring if a third of the logs were just jackie going so yeah I tortured dupes some more #it makes the pre end of the world world feel so much bigger while still mostly remaining within gravitas itself #enhances the feeling of glimpsing into a past world #like every now and then I think abt what oni story could have looked like and am filled with joy at what it is now #I fucking love being into fiction thats good god it feels so good to like shit thats just like actually good #it honestly makes me almost wish there wouldnt be new lore but I do think theres room for more #as in theres plenty of room to make shit up and also we need to see more of the scientists pls #as for actual quote unquote plot stuff idk just give me like one jackie and olivia college year video transcript or smth and we're good #theres other stuff that make me lose my mind but for narrative consistency I think itd be best to not touch those two too much #especially olivia I rly think she doesnt need almost any new content the only stuff Id want with her is if it expanded upon jackie #because rly jackie is the only character I think would super heavily benefit from elaboration even if I stand by her not needing much #as Ive said a billion times just smth small to show us her in a more casual setting and we're golden I think #show me that woman being genuinely happy so I can fill in the blanks as she slowly gets crushed by the consequences of her actions #shes a part of this tragedy too and god damnit I want to see the life she ruined along the way of ruining many others #I want to see a woman whos eyes once shined and then when the lights have dulled I want her to say it was worth it with no conviction #metaphorically ofc I dont actually want to see most of it because thatd go against the narrative philosophy already established #rly all this means is I wanna see jackie and olivia doing laundry together or smth #oh also I hope they specifically give otto a whole other log just to clear up my pronoun woes #idc what its abt just have them talk abt their gender offhand or smth #just mi-ma being like how do you do young man and otto is like they and mi-ma is like ah yes young they

Upon further examination, I am leaning more and more into Otto being a nonbinary egg opposed to a nonbinary person who uses he/him pronouns. Thanks for the help Mi-ma <3

#rat rambles #oni posting #she reffers to them as 'that nice young man' in one of her journal entries which is what tipped the scale for me #like its obviously possible that granny assumed incorrectly but given how much otto likes her Im inclined to believe shed know if they #were openly nonbinary especially given how personal otto has been with her already #but rly its mostly that combined with the other big thing that makes me feel that they probably were an egg at the time #so I shallst continue to use they/them for otto unless I find a new log that explicitly confirms their preffered pronouns #nothing short of otto saying out loud yeah Im not a man but I still wanna go by the same stuff will fully convince me #bonus points if they talk abt it with dr.holland so that he can make his gender identity clear too #also to be clear there are no mi-ma transphobia allegations to be found here I just think she doesnt know #she has so fucking many nonbinary coworkers and at least one of them is also on the older end and has been at the company for a while #plus I doubt theyre putting transphobia in the colony survival game like imagine if dont starve characters called eachother slurs #so no mi-ma slander shall be tollerated also she is trans (2 Me) #shes literally named mi-ma you cannot convince me she is cis #she is such a silly billy I wish so bad that she showed up in more logs #maybe even given an official full name drop to clear up any doubts #given her whole character is being old and mi-ma's whole thing is being the old one its like 99% #but technically speaking we never do get a full name just last name and first initial #so very technically speaking she could be one of the other 3 available m named guys but its highly unlikely #as in the other options are meep max and marie and no way in hell it's any of them #theyre all young chaps and theres only one hashtag woman in their ranks along with a nonbinary person and a hashtag man #so basically yeah its mi-ma there's no way in hell its not mi-ma
