The fire, revisited

I have a crack theory that might not be too cracky.

Previously, I'd thought the fire at Phantomhive Manor was started by either the attackers (and/or John Brown) or by Tanaka (on Vincent's standing orders, in case something like this happened to him).

Well, I'd be surprised if Tanaka somehow managed to do that, considering he'd fallen from that stab wound to the back. Either John Brown or the other attackers on his/the queen's orders is still a good possibility. Particularly since I expect that John and the queen already know by then that Undertaker is a reaper.

But there's another possibility I'd never really talked about before: the reapers who came to collect all those souls. I was thinking of this during discussions about ch209, because this new reaper states there're no additional comments to make about Snake's death, even though he's in a space underground where there are body parts stored, blood transfusion equipment, and a bizarre doll who is actually Snake's killer.

You'd think he'd at least mention the odd circumstances of Snake's death, especially when there's a hunt for Undertaker and his latest bizarre dolls. I don't think this reaper is completely oblivious to what's going on; it seems to me he might be trying to actively cover up what's happening, so he's not including such details in the official documentation. It could be for selfish reasons (to avoid overtime), or it could be based on special orders he's been given.

I say that because for a long time, the reapers weren't talking about Undertaker, and Grelle didn't even know about Undertaker's past as 136649. Othello knows because he was there and he was trained with 136649. But if he's a "fugitive of legend", why aren't reapers like Grelle and Ronald aware of his history? William has been at least somewhat aware of him for a while... but he's in management. The "superiors" are finally getting reapers in collections involved with this ongoing case against Undertaker, and I suspect it's only out of necessity. If they could, they would keep the vast majority of the reapers in the dark about this deserter.

Because they consider him to be that much of a threat to their organization. For quite some time, I've thought he knows something (bad) about the organization itself, and if he spread that knowledge around to the reaper masses, there could be an uprising. We've seen it with the maids turning against Heathfield, Ada and the patients turning against the Aurora Society, and now with the top students against the orphanage. When people realize they are being controlled and harmed for someone else's benefit, they tend to rise up, and I think that's what could happen if enough of the reapers learn whatever Undertaker knows.

The "superiors" finally got serious about it, according to Othello, when they sent him from his lab to the human realm. They seem to have hoped he could make this problem go away by talking to the deserter, destroying him, or capturing him. But once Othello realized it really was him, of all reapers, he knew he couldn't handle the situation on his own... and that he and Grelle wouldn't be enough, either. That's why he sent the dove for backup.

But I think someone else in the reaper organization already knew Undertaker was involved and tried to stop him without properly documenting anything -- they tried to cover up his activities. The night of the attack, one or two reapers were sent to collect souls from the dying, as per usual. While looking through their cinematic records, the reapers saw occasional instances of Undertaker showing up in them, but the most instances would have been in Vincent's records.

Vincent's records would have had extensive chunks of memories involving Undertaker, and the information in those records (things they said to each other) could have been damning somehow. To the organization, at least. What if Undertaker admitted to being Vincent's father? What if he told Vincent secrets he knew about the reaper organization? What if he mentioned the experiments he'd already been conducting on cinematic records and corpses?

Any reaper reviewing such records might think the best thing to do is destroy all this evidence, which might hopefully destroy the information, too. Why would a reaper destroy evidence about the organization's activities, if that information could help spawn a revolution? Too much of a hassle? Doesn't understand the full implications? On someone else's orders? Perhaps the reapers sent to collect these souls were specifically told to burn Vincent's body and the manor, and those reapers did as they were told, regardless of the circumstances. I wonder what happened to any reaper who saw whatever they saw in those cinematic records.... 🤔

Whoever ordered the fire to be started, or whoever decided to start it... they did so to destroy evidence.

As well as to keep Undertaker from collecting Vincent's body and cinematic records. Because whoever this person is, they know Undertaker would have found those things useful. And they didn't want him to have access.

The end result is pretty much the same, except that now I think reapers might have actually done it, instead of attackers/John or Tanaka.

Imagine how the other divisions see the Reapers. Like you’re a mid-level Phoenix and Suriel’s pretty nice but she’s a Judge and your boss and she’s not talking to you unless it’s to give orders. Then one day you visit the Grave for whatever reason and find the Reapers all playing monopoly with Ozriel. The girl with the swords just stabbed him because he landed on her property and the one with the scary arm is trying to steal his money while he’s distracted. You turn back around and decide to come back later.

not to bring up mass effect but that’s one of the most interesting things it ever posited when it came to the idea of organic vs artificial intelligence. a machine, if sentient, knows who created it and why it was created. and a person will never know that. like, even lacking spirituality, even if you ascribe all this to random cause-and-effect, that doesn’t actually get you any closer to understanding why there is a you. but a robot can look their creator in the eye, can read out the whole of its purpose, and know that no matter what it modifies, this is what it was made to be. and what if it was made limited, or flawed, or shackled. there are elements of that a person can relate to, maybe understand, but not all of it, not enough to fathom how different the experience of the world is when you have no questions about your origins.

#also not to talk about mass effect but this is whyyy i love the geth so much. it feels like this would be something you could easily take #in a cold and logical direction because of this whole. lack of questions. #but the geth are so brimming with this sort of. faith. you know? its written into every way they’re referred to. they call the reapers the #old gods. older. we must assume. referring not just to them but to the quarians. #they call splinters of their hivemind that disagree ‘heretics’. legion accepts that name specifically because of its implications. #for a whole game the geth are mindless enemies and then suddenly they’re a *people*. and legion takes the name of a biblical demon. #we’re getting off topic here but its mass effect let me ramble. AI are banned because this fundamental difference in worldview makes them #unpredictable to organic life. makes them dangerous. legion accepts the name of a demon. accepts what the geth are seen as and what they are #and still asks. if they have a soul. they were not made with one in mind. they know this. they know they were not created to have one. #the point of the question isn’t. objectively. do they? the point is. do you consider them to. will you treat them as if they do. #because the flipside of all of this is that you know a robot’s origins too. you know their purpose. so. could you treat something made #this way as if it has a soul. #you know? sorry im getting very pretentious here. i miss mass effect 2 and my littke guys

mass effect 3 is fantastic specifically because every plot point in it is a thread from the first two games. they weave together in incredible, creative, hard hitting ways that leave you gutted but my god is it satisfying to see everything pay off

which is why the starchild thing is so bad

who the fuck is this kid get him out of here

#to every writer who has ever thought they need to pull out something totally brand new in the final act of their story: dont #its only good if it changes our PERSPECTIVE on existing info #if its literally brand new could never see it coming. at the very very end?? its bad #which is also why i like this version of the story where its about cycles of organic vs synthetic bc that keeps happening #rather than their first idea they scrapped of like?? reapers were trying to stop us from using eezo cos it was destroying reality?? #THEN WHY WOULD YOU TRICK EVERYONE IN TO USING EEZO REAPERS #HUMANS WERENT DOING THAT TILL THEY FOUND PROTHEAN RUINS #mass effect #says ser

[legitimatesatanspawn]

I just had a silly thought, admittedly one probably joked about before:

Neku and Shiki are AU versions of Cloud Roxas and Kairi.

They even have black coat enemies who can summon the magic soul demon monsters the players have to fight. Look at that coat and tell me that it doesn't remind you of Xemnas.

Anybody want to come over and translate this compilation of 2000s testament fics to me in real time like a bedtime story

#like 10 short stories. i know in 1 of them eddie like imprints on testament like a baby bird and calls them his mom. thats about it #1 of these is in totentanz. the 2007 anthology #i was only able to get that cuz this writer i guess had some extra copies and listed them in their shop?? 15+ years later. #this comp is from 2014 tho but like still. #i got the last totentanz its kind of crazy. if i missed that i wouldve cried. #i think it was only like. mail order. and organized on a geocities testament fansite. not many copies floating around i assume. #maybe ill scan this too for the testament anthology bomb. i think only that eddie 1 i mentioned is on their pixiv #i have to clean potatoment still though… gentle grim reaper is on the way i have to scan and edit that… 70 pages… kyaaa #TESTAMENT ANTHOLOGY BOMB WILL HAPPEN THO. 👍 okay thanks for reading my diary. #the kat goes meow

Oh man. Now i gotta figure out what actually carries over. My persona stats?? My PERSONAS?? Recipes ????? Weapons ???

#chattin #it said that pandora would be available from the beginning #and WOLF is there from the beginning too ??? how strange is that ??? #i would not have minded him coming in organically like the first time- #-since he joins the team at whatever level joker is #by the time i get back to that point; hes going to be wayyy underleveled by the time i get there #also deciding against playing on merciless; i am NOT that good at the game #and unless i am SUPREMELY bad; i do not think ur dodge gives you I-frames #so i tend to just. tank alot of hits assuming that my dash doubles as a dodge #the reaper fight would be okay i think #but the demiurge fight would literally be impossible for me #that and the mara fight. that shit knocked me on my ass 😭

Man I wish the opening was the entire song... Don't Fear the Reaper entirely on the pipe organ would be amazing!

#i imagine if i had a full cover of don't fear the reaper on pipe organ it would be Noa's boss music #music #hyperion #returnal #still a great boss song though def check out Returnal if you like roguelike games! #Spotify

[gothamcityneedsme]

also. The start of the game forcing u into the genesis comic feels. Very silly. its a tonal jump from the death to like have sudden narration. It shouldve been framed differently idk. Or just. Not inserted into the story. Anyways.

Love the beginning of this game. Setup is so good. I love Jacob and Mirandas intros. Jacob as the one who tells you the truth, who has a moral compass vs Mirandas sole purpose and drive for two years being to bring you back to life regardless of her impression or opinion of you personally.

#Shitpost #love how miranda responds once you have results too #i love how cold and calculating she is #and like she wouldnt work as well if she wasnt the lead on the project. Her leading it and basically being a huge part of why youre alive #just like. Immediately places her in a fascinating space #also shes basically your XO but also shes reporting back to TIM about you #side note but tbh still mad at how they handled TIM in 3. he just became a villain where hes WAY more interesting here #hes so middle ground nuanced and that sort of dies. A shame tbh #theres a lot i dislike about me3 lol. Not entirely but still #TIM and the ending. And the mechanics with the separate app #is that still up? I hope so. Im playing og mass effect lol #anyways also. Jacob is so interesting too #Hate that he got memed on and ignored by most of the fandom #tbh his loyalty quest is kinda iffy too iirc but his base here is so good #and his comments throughout the game too #Also. I think me could have been fixed if we learned who built the reapers and got into the shit #The theme of organic vs synthetic life couldve been expanded upon #ESPECIALLY since synthetic life literally cant exist without an organic creator #the cycle couldve been MORE is all im saying #the creators couldve built the reapers with that pov. Like a terrible cleansing pov #Organics so convinced organic life is corrupt that they wished to destroy it #and the reapers if shown that truth would realize the hypocrasy. The lie they were built on #Or something #mass effect is so good but the endings are all bad #Thematically they are a little interesting. Esp the ending where you leave it to the next cycle #BUT. like i hate synthesis and control. Those are hard to reconcile with the Themes imo #destroy works but tbh to me. Destroy shouldve ended with a scene of some scientist who believes life is corrupt. Building another AI #an AI to destroy life. #thats all. #Ok ill shut up now

[dropoutparty]

kinda wip design (right now what designs of mine arent wips honestly) but heres mr. coffin himself. my babygirl fr ❤❤❤

#im tired so no handwriting transcript srry #hes made of wood/stuffed cloth and his hair is straw like a scarecrow #hes actually just kinda like. possessing this body ig? #he can possess anything that wears that anhk charm #but ya hes like literally Death. like the grim reaper or some shit #also not relevant to the gijinka but i hc that the coffin he shows up as is different for everyone bc its what that person gets buried in #also the fact that ppl stay conscious and aware when theyre dead in the dhmis universe is very funny to me?? #especially since its kinda stated that embalming is like kind of a thing bc ducks organs got taken out #dhmis #dhmis coffin #my art #im goin to bed now gn

I discovered so many cool ifs thanks to your blog. I must say your taste in characters and stories is exquisite. Do you have a certain type of favourite ROs as in are there some romance tropes that you always go for? I'm a sucker for the emotionally unavailable ROs, so Orion and August have me in a chokehold rn. I'm honestly having so much infamous brainrot after reading that amazing demo. Do you prefer gender-selectable or gender-locked ROs? I personally don't mind either way as long as they're well written and portrayed. And you're so right we need more NB/Trans ROs for sure! Specially more that are POCs! <3

Oh, anon you don't know how much this makes me SMILE! Not so much about my tastes (though I'm smiling on that too, you flatterer :-P) but because of the IFs. I think Interactive Fiction is such a delightful medium with SUCH potential, and I love trying to stuff it into more people's faces.

Oh, man. I've actually been thinking of this -- because I once semi-jokingly said/had the thought that I always go for the characters of color [that's not TRUE, but I feel like I'm more inclined to give them a chance regardless of trope as long as I find the character intriguing enough] because I want to make sure they get love. So, I feel like I haven't really been looking at games/stories through tropes of late -- because IFs haven't yet reach a place where I'm afforded that? I don't know if I'm making sense.

BUT this question definitely took me back, lmao. And it is going to expose why TWC will always be on my neck, as well as that I am a LITTLE bit of a liar (because thinking on this made me realize though I may try and be broad with my interests to support characters of color, my subconious is a clown and likes what it likes werew lmao).

TL;DR I do love the stoic ones. I do love the ones that seem indifferent and/or cold or just So Serious and Don't Have Time For Your Tomfoolery but also have a sense of humor, a sense of justice/loyalty, and can get super soft/flustered for MC (but not just mc but their loved ones:

A du Mortain 🤡

Orion Quinn (Orion chuckling at Rowan's jokes privately? I knew he was the one for me BUT THAT SOLIDIFIED IT. I AM GONE FOR HIM)

August Pierce (letting themselves be suckered into things by their sister, being flustered by MC in a romance??)

Calderon (Andromeda Six)

Elliot (OFNA) - though I haven't gotten far in ofna.

D (atoc)

I love the soft and bright ones. Sometimes they're sarcastic (but to a point. There's a reason why I love the Scott McCalls more than the Stiles Stilinkis), they're mischevious. They don't need to have a dark past but I'm not against it. They're still KIND despite all they've gone through. Their hearts are just so BIG. And if you throw in a bit of friends to lovers? I'M THERE.

F Hauville.

Bash (a6)

I think Victoria might fit here, but more of a hardened shell version (which I wanted to add I feel this type has a lot of subcategories that I also enjoy). A more defiant version, a version who is less impulsive, more in control? idk what im saying. Which I'd also put Ayame from A6 here.

Skye Cortéz from Skin and Scales.

I feel Kiran from Unseelie will fit this.

Those are clear off the top of my head but there are other ones I like. I love characters that have poise but also are cunning (I think A from ATOC would fit here if you need an example; Sabir from the Exile, Straasa from TSSW, Leonie from Reaper's Bay .... that theyre all black is a coincidence -- one I JUST realized wqere lmao), I love childhood friends to lovers as I stated, I love enemies to reluctant allies to friends to lovers, I love second chance romances (or reunited friends that turn to romance). I'm blanking at personalties, right now. I'm sorry.

Oh, negl. Sometimes I go for the 'fuck everyone but you' Villain. I like it when the powerful "bad" guy (gn) is obssessed with MC. Like, not an RO but for an example Falk. Or an actual RO Manerkol from The Soul Stone Wars. Krios from Dying Stars.

Sometimes, but not always, I go for the hopelessly devoted and utterly loyal to MC bodyguard sort like Kai from Reaper's Bay. Devoted and protective does usually get my pitter patter - like John from Made Marian, but like I said not always. Especially if OVERPROTECTIVENESS can be a point of discussion between the pair (ie mc and the ro).

There are other stuff but i am blanking right now.

As for gender, I don't care generally -- but I do tend to shy away if there isn't an NB option when they're gender selectable, and if there isn't I want at LEAST ONE NB ro (more than one) that isn't gender selectable. I like it better tho when it's all gender selectable or like two are gender selectable and the rest are set genders but evenly so.

and yes that SPECIFICNESS -- you make a point I hadn't even thought of: DEFINITELY need more trans/nb options, PERIOD, but please writers and artists should consider having them of color as well!!
