#red gemstone or somesuch

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

was thinking abt that thing from a lil while ago where arceus cuts ingo's heart out, to spare him having to be sad about his former life. and then also got to thinking abt that thing i briefly mentioned a WHILE ago which is the idea that the reason ingo has no apparent language barrier w/ hisui is that uxie hotswapped his language from unova's to hisui's rq while he was falling as like a "sorry about your memories" consolation prize. and abt how, despite the very silly way i phrased that, that is actually like a supremely fucked up thing to do to a person and i would also consider it metaphysical violence on some level.

so anyway like. alt version where instead of it being arceus, it gets the whole lake trio in on it. mesprit takes out his heart, uxie takes out his tongue

#the nemesis speaks #pokefic pitch #i'm unsure of what azelf would take. or if it did anything at all #domains of emotions and knowledge have a very clear influence/absence w/ ingo (or my/this ingo at least) #w/ the amnesia and the alteration of fluency and his struggle to feel like. anything at all about his own situation #but like. his willpower...? #i guess i'm thinking of it more in terms of ideals than willpower which is technically not correct. they're separate concepts albeit relate #ingo still holds the same values as he did previously. but is he less motivated to act on them...? #and what body part would correspond to that. metaphysically #tfw three gods lobotomize you and they're not even like major gods #e: also in this imagining the gods Replace the pieces they take with. something else #or at least uxie does. gives him a new replacement tongue. to represent the more ''useful'' thing put back in place of the old #red gemstone or somesuch
