Sergeant Leland Coyle and Liliya Bogomolova // Rant
Notes: I do not care if I start a war, I am tired of this weird wave of Coylemolova hate and the way this Fandom- and others- seem to treat people with ships or interpretations of characters that don't coincide with every opinion of theirs.
Content/Warnings: I am at the point in my life I am ranting about a ship I don't even personally like oh my god.. there will be another part to this for just my thoughts on Coyle. Edit because I forgot to add the comic panel I mentioned whoops
I'm going to preface this by saying I, personally, Do Not at all ship Coyle and Liliya. I see her as a lesbian, and I imagine he would only like her based off a physical aspect and not of any emotional or ideological connection. But I'm genuinely so confused.
So what if it's fucking toxic? The same people denouncing Coylemolova are shipping Waylon and Eddie in the same breath. Coyle and Liliya are consenting adults and from what I can tell far less harmful than a good chunk of the other ships I see on this app. If you are a lesbian, gay man, etc. who headcanons them as the same, then fine, but again those are fucking headcanons, you have a block button, and not everyone is going to think or imagine them the same. It is insufferable to have to share a Fandom with people who take their personal interpretations as Canon when they are not. Respect your peers, and yourself, by moving on.
Yes, Liliya is a sexual assault victim. But as this Fandom seems to confidently forget, Coyle is a CSA victim. It is the first goddamn thing we see in his background comic (At the bottom of rant), and influences his prejudices, his actions and personality, etc. Outlast is about how what happens in your environment changes you as a person. None of these characters are evil just because, and yet Coyle is constantly chalked down to "racist hillbilly cop" while other characters are seen a lot more favorably and even pardoned for their abuses. Considering the gray areas of the characters you like but boiling the ones you don't to static, one sided cardboard cutouts does not make you nuanced.
It's 'incest twins' this, and 'racist cop' that, until the same happens to your favorite and suddenly the characters ARE deep, actually. You're not better than a Coyle, or Franco, or Liliya, or Gooseberry, or Twins fan. They are all murderers, abusers, etc. Their actions aren't excused by their histories, none of their crimes should be swept under the rug, but they ALL deserve introspection. Not just the handful you like.
okay. i feel the need to bring attention to arora's role in the trials. everyone overlooks her genius so unendingly it's almost hurtful. arora is the reason why the trials are what they are. arora is responsible for the existence of the psychosis gas and thus for the skinnerman— which is to say, she is responsible for the existence of easterman's egregore and the root of the psychological influence of the trials at large. she is responsible for easterman's descent into drug addiction due to the sheer quality of her formulations, and thus for the descent into madness (and corresponding ascent into effectiveness) sinyala has experienced. she is undoubtedly responsible for countless chemical breakthroughs in the larger world that were so completely widespread they became nearly invisible. leland coyle, poor and rural, knew about the quality of her pharmaceutical syntheses. she had to teach herself japanese to converse with the only person on her level, and she did so seemingly without struggle. her father relied on a formula that was implicitly hers in his attempt to kill her. even if it was not hers, the antidote was, and she was enough of a surgeon to save her own life, along with otto's. she was enough of a surgeon to save her father's life— sawn in half from groin to chops (ha) and sewn back together upside down, he lived for weeks with her help. she is ridiculously accomplished.
this, by all means, does not mean that otto is a vestige. otto is the means by which she was empowered to pursue her career as successfully as she did. otto is what allows her to keep going. otto is an accomplished politician and publicist, a phenomenal speaker and writer, and, by all means, an even better lover. i just delight in thinking about the mud that the trials would be stuck in without the twins. i genuinely think that sinyala could function more smoothly without easterman than it could without them.
