@foreverppl - Tumblr Blog

Hello! Welcome to my side blog where I scream into the void about various interactive fiction games.

I read a lot of IF, but a few of the main ones I keep up with include: The Exile, RYWD, Infamous, AToC, Scapegoated, Project Hadea, Chop Shop, and The Lonely Shore.

#this is for my sake really I’m so shit at tagging things #blah blah blah #dir.

Mhm right right

#I’ve always found merc’s preoccupation with Lucky’s death and how people refer to her in the aftermath suuuper interesting #and now… well.#one day I’ll make one of those web weaving/parallels post #blah blah blah #if: rywd

I genuinely think about Orla multiple times a day

#like it’s bad for me #blah blah blah

I like when characters try to fix their problems with bad sex

raisinchallah

i feel like im pretentious about repression or whatever like oh they can identify and name their repressed desires thats like the boring level one repression wheres the level of repression where they cant even begin to contemplate their own desires because contemplating them is a slippery slope to actually having desires which is a slippery slope to everything

I love characters who would die for each other but will not, under any circumstances, communicate a single honest feeling.

I never post about Namir and Jax but I should start because I actually do have a lot of thoughts about them and their whole dynamic makes me genuinely insane.

#I also just love how orla is a constant in every single aspect of merc’s life including whatever potential relationships they end up #pursuing outside of her #there are like three seperate instances in rwyd where her influenced is referenced as a shadow cast on merc’s life #and I giggle and kick my feet every time I see it #the spectre of orla sharpe 🙂‍↕️#you’ll never get away from the sound of the woman that [audio distorts] you~#if: rywd #blah blah blah #meta #mc: namir (rywd)#+ orla 🫂 (rywd)#+ jax 🫂 (rywd)#anyway back to jax #um yeah. namir thinks he’s super pompous and annoying but also sorta views him as competition and resents the fact that he always seems to #be winning #that’s also why that line “it’s not generosity. I want to know everything.” that merc says to orla hits so hard #it's their deep seated need to be Seen and Trusted by orla but also this urge to be closer to her than jax specifically #I think this urge also crops up with D as well lol #every time someone seems close to Orla I think Namir quietly starts keeping score #it’s hard to actually describe what they feel as like Romantic or Sexual since I think they have a skewed approach to both lol #I do feel a bit bleh about my framing of it as a competition since it paints Orla as like this prize to be won or something which isn’t how #I see the dynamic exactly but it is the closest approximation that I can make without sounding insane #ig it’s more like the prize is her attention. her approval. her looking at them as irreplaceable #it’s just so funn because Orla is clearly privy to all of this #when she was like “I mean you. And me. Just this once.”#like ughhh she knowsss what she’s doing!!!!#she understands the utility of being liked/loved as well as feared #too much of one or the other can easily curdle into something that makes those following her resentful or ineffective #but to have both in pretty much equal measure inspires the level of devotion that we see in jax + merc #genuinely character of all time I’ll never get enough of her

In a perfect world Industry would receive the same level of attention/love Succession did. YasHarper dynamic of all timeeee

#blah blah blah

demilypyro

"why do you like this trait in female characters but not in male characters" because gender changes the dynamic

#well yes

Orla’s liberation comes at the price of the merc’s. The further they entrench themself into being used as an implement for her to use to her ends, the more divorced they become to themself (though, even that’s a bit complicated. Who is the merc without Orla? Her guiding hand. Her crook shepherding. Her word governing.) She’s building her empire; the merc’s shoveling their grave. But at the same time, her empire doesn’t necessarily guarantee her own (true) freedom and is, in fact, a kind of gilded cage in its own right. You painstakingly build yourself a palace behind enemy lines, with all the luxuries you can scrounge together. Give yourself every comfort, loud music to drown out whatever ghosts you’re still trying to outrun, good sex, good food, people who will jump to murder for you without blinking an eye… yet it’s difficult to truly allow yourself to relish in any of it for more than a couple fleeting moments when you know there are serpents slithering just right outside the gates. Doesn’t matter how much you fortify your house of cards, it can still all come crumbling down with a gust of wind. And what then? One king (queen) deposes another, Vapolis continues on. No one will mourn. Orla knows this. Orla is terrified by this.

Anyway.. @vapolis sending you my therapy bill as I type this.

#mmm losing it a bit #re-reading this post-ch. 7 is…………..#rywd IF of all time actually #srb

gyrovagi

care and tenderness as violating and coercive acts. being forced into vulnerability for your own good by someone who does not actually see you as a person but as a symbol or a figure too valuable to let die. you have power over so much but not your own body. you have lost the right to risk. everybody cheered

vapolis

chapter 007 early access.

You should have left after Lucky. After the twins. Should have left with your head held high after chafing at the constraints your arrangement came with. You could have been your own person. Left your mark on a city as cruel as Vapolis and died someone worth knowing.
