misc storage. DO NOT REBLOG.

let’s all give thanks to the universe for putting enough sense in the devs to make rachel the Only herald who’s body isn’t recovered or able to be looted after her death so incel gamers couldn’t pervert or humiliate the body of a dead abuse survivor. a-fucking-men 🙏🏻

do yall think a young rachel ever called joseph “broseph” just to be funny

rachel’s recorded outpost sermons + other gods vs. the mother being “the” god

humanity  has  always  looked  towards  the  sky  for  divine  guidance   .   .   .   the  greeks   .   .   .   pagans   .   .   .   egyptians   .   .   .   they  all  had  theirs.   The  Mother  isn’t  the  first  God  to  walk  among  us.   she  won’t  be  the  last.   but  she’s  ours   !   &   who  are  we  to  claim  such  arrogance   &   self  righteousness  that  we  would  deny  what  has  been  so  graciously  gifted  to  us   ?   The  Collapse  is  coming,   &   we  will  not  walk  through  Eden’s  Gates  unscathed  without  The  Mother  to  shield  us  from  the  destruction   .   .   .   shed  your  sorrows   !   .   .   .   have  no  fear   .   .   .   The  Mother  will  guide  you  to  a  brand  New  Eden   &   there   .   .   .   you  will  find  peace.

just an fyi: if you find out you’ve been softblocked immediately after following or hardblocked without any prior introduction to me or this blog, it’s because you follow or interact with h*rrorempathy or any number of their mutuals from the far cry fandom and beyond. if you need some explanation, there’s the vague short version here, but i’m not comfortable discussing it outside of the friends that involved themselves on my behalf. tbh i just really needed to put this pretty plainly on my blog for my own mental well-being because i’ve been relatively quiet about it all year save for that one post, and i just don’t want anything hindering my experience here in the new year. here’s to fresh starts and lesbian rights baby!

the henbane was liberated... but at WHAT cost far cry., WHAT. COST. 🥺

[feithaven]

apparently there’s a note in new dawn from ethan seed’s mother saying she abandoned the project and joseph after “the arrival of a new faith” scared her, offering some speculation that megan was rachel’s predesscor………….. if that doesn’t tell you that joseph didn’t have good intentions for any of his faiths, ESPECIALLY rachel who he called his “favorite” then idk what to tell yall!

[feithaven]

people assuming that rachel is wealthy or otherwise well off because of the jessop conservatory have clearly never been to bumfuck nowhere and seen how poverty runs rampant even among those who sustain family businesses

[feithaven]

the downside of exploring in my replay is that i now have to admit that this crackhead believes in aliens as part of her cult ideologies and i just

[feithaven]

Friendliest Of Reminders that rachel is a drug addict on top of multiple trauma survivor AND a newly awakened prophetess with boundless capabilities. so while she does retain her natural beauty to an extent, her image is ultimately falsified by the bliss while her true self looks something like an eldritch horror.

[feithaven]

late night thoughts: while fc5 is def heavily saturated w christian ideaologies and rachel on this blog has thus far been characterized around an amalgamation of an evangelical, southern baptist and roman catholic upbringing before her family converts to eden’s gate in her adolescence….. maybe her family’s just fuckin mormon!

[feithaven]

rachel’s stupid lil undershirt under her ratty disgusting dress solidifies my headcanon that she does Indeed fall into hypocritical christian ideals of modesty vs. vanity and i will Absolutely be makin a meta soon on how intrinsic that hypocrisy is to her character, esp in terms of the way she presents herself as a modest apostle of faith and by extension God while also being hugely sexual and blasphemous with her wife, AND rather “lewd” or sexually liberated among other women (by practicing unabashed nudity in the bliss and goin all tiddies out around her circle of women in new dawn).

her double standard of perpetuating modesty by physically presenting herself as prudish and lowly with her trashy dirty dress that’s STILL outrageously short and see through (hence the undershirt to begin w) but also not giving a single goddamn fuck abt being nude around other women (men would be staked on sight for even seeing her thigh on HER command) is 110% intentional and in this essay i will-

[feithaven]

thinking about……. sleep paralysis as visceral, inescapable, torturous prophecies

[feithaven]

ladies n gays this is a uhhhh list of plots / dynamics i’m interested in for that starter call:

dark mothers… mystic women who will help rachel hone her abilities as a prophetess! maybe even free her from her spiritual n religious confines to unlock its full potential.

sirens, nymphs, ect. all kinds of witchy water women who lure men to the banks & eat their hearts for some good girlish bonding!

redemptions, extractions, awakenings… basically any scenario in which someone frees rachel of the project n her fanatical beliefs, so she can truly escape the never ending cycle of abuse that she’s fallen into.

the village (2004)… community of people frustrated by the corrupt modern world who escape to a “simple” life. either following the actual story of being plagued by monsters they created, OR actually being ancient woodland creatures they offer sacrifices to as a truce hehe…

apocalypse… zombies, infectious disease, natural disaster, nuclear, ect. rachel jessop deserves a shotgun & i WILL die on that hill!

big fucked up dynamics with either newly brainwashed or newly rehabilitated angels! rachel feeling like she’s “purifying” them n giving them purpose, therefore feeling maternal towards them n how that would… not go down well or how it might just go Terribly well lol.

either way… if you’re interested in any of these or have some of your own for this dyke prophetess / cult leader, feel free to im me with one or the other n we can get to writing! 💘

[feithaven]

not to be Like That but game developers are brainless money hungry dipshits. like we already KNEW that when they made carmina 17 in new dawn by claiming she was born on the day OF the collapse when that is… not fucking true lmao… but they really kicked their own canon to shit with tracey claiming her and rachel are “from out west” hippies n then having a whole Other unrelated person at jessop’s conservatory say she came to hope county for rehab… when there is a WHOLE ENTIRE conservatory with her fucking name on it that was… handed over to the cult by a dr. jessop… who’s also referred to as a woman… when rachel was 100% 17 when she joined the project……… [ silence ]

so either they’re intentionally leaving her background open to interpretation to push that misogynistic “she’s actually Pure Evil (but the male seeds aren’t!!!!! here’s a mountain of evidence to prove they’re sad baby victims and NOT just violent abusive arrogant men… being violent abusive arrogant men v.v) and we just pretended she was raped and abused by a cult leader to make her suspicious… even THOUGH said cult leader is absolutely capable of that behavior x3” OR, and i’m banking on this option, game developers don’t give a shit enough about the women in their games to flesh them out thoroughly to the same degree as their men, because they know 30 year old kweer incels will drool all over the men to give them enough exposure either way.

the dead daughter in pet semetary (2019) dancing to the nutcracker ballet in her muddy funeral dress then proceeding to move around ferociously till she’s busting everything in her vicinity with a roar is…. hugeTM rachel jessop energy and dare i say…. even HugerTM rachel as faith energy

now LISTEN....... things i wanna incorporate / acknowledge on this blog:

my adaptation of the bliss on this blog looks EXACTLY like dani’s trips re: grass sprouting through her hand / becoming her feet, the flowers of her may queen crown opening n closing, and the vines of her throne swishing alongside her arm.

i’ll run this by the wife in the morning but... the consummation scene occurs similarly between rachel n mara when they conceive pythia n scylla re: the bed of flowers (moonflowers in their case) though not so much the mentors watching sksjsksks.

( HOWEVER... in new dawn era, marriages likely do have to be “approved” by faith and rachel between cultists and moonflowers would 100% be part of the marital custom, as cultists are constantly exposed to bliss to remain “blissful” post-collapse. )

the culmination of life vs. death and the practice of sacrificing the elderly to give their names to newborns are a custom that probably arises post-collapse as a means of “population control.” it was already somewhat established prior, when mara judged rachel’s vassals before they were afforded bliss, but obviously....... committing literal suicide under the guise of rebirth is far more extreme than that lmao.

the collective screaming of the hårga women alongside dani to take her down from her panic attack was a fucking MASTERPIECE and new eden women definitely perform the same sort of ritual as a “prayer circle” to relieve any stress that could otherwise be considered negative to the cult’s attitude.

similar methods like the encouraged, uninhibited violent outbursting after the sacrifice in the finale are used cult-wide to unleash any perceived negative energy in the same way.

BODY HORROR BABEY!!!!!! rachel already established the custom of emptying the stomach cavities, eye sockets and mouths of “non-believers” to fill them with moonflowers and hang them as a reminder, but i can absolutely 100% see her hollowing out bodies entirely to fill them with straw, and essentially “embalming” the bodies w bliss so they can be....... preserved.

i WILL be adding more to this in a maybe more official post later on when i can process the absolute fuckfest i witnessed on a theatre screen but i owe ari aster my fukcing LIIIIIIIIIIIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[feithaven]

concept in which rachel is actually treated for her bipolar and sent to rehab for her heroin addiction therefore making her less susceptible to being manipulated by someone like joseph who pulls the worst parts of her to forefront and in doing so eliminates every other good part of her being to use her as an instrument of religious evil.......

............. except for the fact that she’s just pure fucking evil at her heart and joseph, whilst genuinely manipulating and abusing rachel for his own purposes, only happened to pull that evil out of her and foster it giving her the freedom to act upon it in a way that inflicted her own lack of self ownership onto others via mind control through the bliss
