Control Resonant (2026)

[ashkav]

Imagine making a presentation of a party celebrating the kidnapping of a 10 year old by your government agency SOLELY for the viewing pleasure of the 10 year old.

All the obvious terribleness aside. Dr Darling made a Presentation, with party balloons and hats, to show to the child. He did not throw a party for the child to attend. He did not involve the child physically in any way. He filmed a Party Themed Presentation to Show to a child, and the child is explicilty not allowed to have anything to do with this except watch. Absolutely imperative that the 10 year old remains in his glass box at all times while Dr Darling punches balloons on a screen.

And this is, at most, the first week of Dylan's capture. He should have killed more people.

HRA(?)

(Image from the Zoe de Vera character page on the remedy website)

So these things absolutely aren't like the HRAs we know.

It says "A-R INJECTOR M1" (Active-Resonance?) above the FBC logo, and though tumblr compression makes it unreadable, the grey pouch held in place by the rubber band says "Sterile" before the next word is redacted.

Following the wire, there's also two types of tape on Zoe's neck, the grey duct tape and a square of clear tape, like the kind used to secure a canula to an injection site. I had previously though that the wire was for an earpiece, but if it's to an injection site, no wonder they've taped it down so it can't catch on anything, or else they risk ripping it directly out of their carotid artery.

Have they invented an new serum or medication of some kind that prevents or holds off Hiss infection? With Jesse gone, the usual HRA models can't rely on Polaris to power them. Or is this a new device for a new threat?

How are they manufacturing the pouches of injectable material, and what are they making it out of?

Something is different about Emily, and it isn't the obvious.

Really look at her. Ignore the hair and the earring for now (though those are also big changes, they aren't the important part.) Why does her jacket look like that?

It's a standing collar, with an asymmetrical closure and a very square silhouette, even what looks like padding in the shoulders. It immediately made me think of millitary gear, and some very quick googling pulled up fencing style jackets that look almost identical, though Emily's is even more structured than these.

Emily doesn't look anything like an office worker anymore. The structure of her white shirt was very sharp and way fancier than anything her colleagues wore, but it was still recognisably office wear. Now, she looks like military leader, and the slicked back hair and cicular brooch like a badge or medal don't help matters.

This is a huge indication to me that the culture of the Oldest House has changed massively, and even personalities as sunny and excitable as Emily have been ground down by the constant fighting and neverending lockdown. She's the head of science, but unlike Darling's freindly and approachble lab coats and sweater vests, Emily has started dressing like someone whose orders are not to be questioned.

Really, the earring is actually the only sign that Emily is still keeping at least a little bit of whimsy in her life and self expression, but apart from that she is dressing like a completely different person - probably because she is. She's changed significantly from the character we saw in the last game, and I suspect the same is true for all of the returning cast.

“Subverting” Catholic art? Oh, okay. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You log onto the internet and you post about how “Wound of Christ” from Psalter and Prayer Book of Bonne de Luxembourg, attributed to Jean le Noir, c.1349, for instance, looks like a vulva because you're trying to tell the world that you enjoy Catholic art and imagery in an alternative, queer, risqué way that challenges Christian beliefs. But what you don't know is that that stigma isn’t just a vulva. It's not just a mandorla. It's not just yonic. It's actually intentionally erotic. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that around 1297, Saint Angela of Foligno experienced a vision of Christ himself, who called her to put her mouth to the wound in his side and lick the freshly flowing blood. And then I think it was Saint Catherine of Siena who drank blood and a clear liquid from the wound before receiving a ring made from Christ’s foreskin? And then graphically erotic encounters with the side wound of Christ quickly showed up in the writings of eight different mystics. And then the yonic interpretation of the stigmata filtered down through the illuminated manuscripts and then trickled on down into some pseudo-intellectual corner of the internet…where you, no doubt, fished it out of some Pinterest board. However, that interpretation represents hundreds of years and countless visions of religious ecstasy. And it's sort of comical how you think that you've come up with an idea that exempts you from Christian theology when, in fact…you're posting an image that was sexualized for you by the very Medieval saints you think you’re so different than…from “subverted” Catholic art.

Any updates on tind?? Such an awesome fic and I'd love to know what happens next, no pressure tho! ❤️❤️

I'll be honest, I haven't worked on it for months now. I'm really sorry for leaving all my readers in a lurch! but real life issues + the pressure of writing for such a big audience got to me and is still getting to me. I started the story with only a vague plan in mind for how it would go and changed it completely several times while writing, so even i'm not sure how i would wrap it up and it would take an amount of time and effort to continue it now that i just don't have enough of atm.

I am still dedicated to finishing it though, even if it takes me ten years to do it (though hopefully it won't be that long). I appreciate all the readers who liked my work enough to want more of it, and i'm sorry i can't give you a more concrete answer on when i'll continue it except 'eventually.'

so it turns out if you go to the doctor and say you've been thinking about killing yourself non stop for a month and a half they put you on antidepressants very quickly.

i need to be medicated. idk for what but fucking something, because it is getting to the point where I have to hold things hostage from myself in order to get me to do tasks. and it can't be thing like treats either because thats not a dire enough consequence. until this essay worth 30% of my grade gets written i cannot take a shower. until i can fold all the laundry everything i eat has to be without salt.

the crazy thing about doctor who is that it really is the best show ever for 30 seconds at a time. you never know when those 30 seconds will be. sometimes they happen multiple times in a single episode and sometimes you wait years and years and years. and the best part is those 30 seconds are surrounded by the worst show ever, which is also doctor who
