cicada, it/its, 19 - outlast/outlast trials stupidposting sideblog

[kresschemical]

hai welcome to my sideblog for posting about the outlast franchise (mostly trials, but occasionally the other games too). my name is cicada and I use it/its. my main is @enteragoodnamehere and follows and likes and etc will come from there

this is mostly a place for silly or lighthearted posts/memes/headcanons, messy doodles, and occasionally meta thoughts. and also lots of griping about the fandom because its scary out here & I am a hater at heart

tags should be fairly simple. #gameposting is my tag for talking about actually playing the games, #haterposting is my tag for complaining about fandom shit, and #not safe for murkoff is my tag for nsfw stuff (won't be used very often, but better to be on the safe side). characters will be tagged with either their first, last, or full names, whatever's more recognizable to me while also trying my best to avoid maintagging unless I really want to. everything else should be fairly simple though :-]

my favorite characters are liliya, amelia, gooseberry, but I also really love otto & arora (obviously. lol.), avellanos, cornelius noakes, & henrietta/the jaeger. I'm not really a "shipper" but I do really enjoy liliya/amelia and liliya/gooseberry, so expect to see those around a bit. I also have some ocs I post about, namely cricket (reagent), max (prime asset), nightlight ("custom" expop), and rooster (biter).

I don't have a super strict dni or anything but I would prefer people who follow me to be 18+ due to the themes of the games. I also do not like proshippers (don't care for the discourse really, but I find people who purposefully identify with that label to be unpleasant), and I will block you if you are an adamant coyle/molova or easter/melia or etc shipper.

that should be everything! thank you for reading :3

when I make my playlists I enjoy putting serious songs on there of course but I also love adding at least one sillier song that manages to be a perfect fit for the situation despite potentially being kinda ridiculous. anyways I think I wanna add I can’t fix you by the living tombstone to my ameliliya playlist

[kresschemical]

cmon. cmonnnnnn. amelia & liliya ass song.

[original image from here] sorry I really liked this image and wanted it on here

[kresschemical]

I updated my pinned post and I was looking through the last couple comics for good Images to add and this one frame of wernicke from liliya's is killing me. 'clearly you don't own an airfryer' ass facial expression

[kresschemical]

glanced at the blog of a big coylemolova shipper out of curiosity and they were talking about how they hate the amelia plotlines and think it’s contrived. oh I’m sure you do.

[kresschemical]

it’s five am and I have a headache and can’t sleep so it’s time for liliyaposting that’s more self indulgent headcanon than actual character analysis. anyways you know those stories about formerly feral cats who never learned how to meow so they instead make the weirdest noises ever. that’s liliya to me. she’s the human equivalent of that

[kresschemical]

I’m thinking like. kinda based on her sound files her noise for confusion or being startled or caught off guard is like hehgh? or mrnghmp? . and when she gets excited she starts Almost growling . and she doesn’t often Laugh laugh but when she does it’s a full body sharp sudden Noise that trails off into her hahahehs that she does in game when chasing, while her giggles or small laughs sound more like hissing, like ssstsstsstsstt . and when she gets frustrated or overstimulated she either half-growls again or subconsciously starts muttering glossolalia . and her noise for “I don’t know” or “I don’t care” is more like mnyeh or something . and she just kinda makes a whole bunch of noises to herself while doing just about anything and it’d be very entertaining to listen to I bet

takes a drag from my cigarette. do yuo guys ever think about how liliya hasn’t seen the outside world in at least 6 years. she was kept comatose in mount massive for 5 years + was there for at least 6 months before that too + has been in sinyala for probably around another 6 months. I think pretty much half her life has been spent in captivity at this point with her backstory too. looks off into the distance.

(in a world where i am one of easterman's many confidants who want to stab him in the back one day) see i like your idea with this premise we've got the place built we've got our guy but i think it's lacking some subtlety..some finesse… i think it could be really potent uh… brainwashing… like the therapy would be more…effective… if they didnt kill the guy but instead just brought a big duffel bag of.. hang on let me google if these were invented yet. ok. a big duffel bag of the presently only one year old little debbies products. wow! really uh. really displacing the reagents' sense of time. ykno. thats effective. really hitting em where it hurts. theyv never seen a little debbie before. and the outside worlds going on without them. could be real drive to, uh, progress towards rebirth, you know. and i think it could be really effective um… commentary… and propaganda…if they uh. fed him a bunch of them. like uhhh. like you know, he's the boss, he's the boss of the prison farm and he's eating all these little debbies while his prisoners are starving off of pig heads and shit. and he's getting all these sweet treats. and being really pampered and loved. that'll really hit em. um. psychologically. i mean. and the prime asset? well uh, easterman sir, have you ever heard of um, you know what actually no i know you've heard of this but humor me, what they call a, uh, "cuck chair"?

[kresschemical]

VERY ROUGH DOODLE but that’s what this blog is for lol. concept art for rooster who I was talking about earlier. the “feathers” are synthetic and not actually real feathers, and are attached to a piercing on their lower back (both feathers and piercing courtesy of otto & arora id imagine. or maybe gooseberry actually? idk. one of the primes gave it to them though lol)

[kresschemical]

anyways on a more positive note. do you guys wanna hear a concept for a biter oc that popped into my head a bit ago that I really like

[kresschemical]

A bit ago I watched the video dogs and their masters by horses which is like. a breakdown of dog fighting that’s also a very thinly veiled allegory for the ways people hurt each other in the systems set in place today. and so I’ve been thinking about dog fighting/other bloodsports on and off again since I’ve watched it. and I saw someone say that the biter’s movements reminded them of roosters, which leads us to Now.

The ocs Work In Progress name is just Rooster (although it might stay, I like the simplicity of it) & they’re kinda themed around cockfighting/other bloodsports in a sense? I think pre-murkoff they were just a petty criminal maybe and ended up in Sinyala just due to a case of horrific luck. They hate it there, they’re not absorbing any of the “therapy”, and are angry and scared that they might end up as a trial victim or etc. this leads them to do a liliya trial -> hear her voice and her message of self harm -> go Fuck It I Don’t Really Have Many Choices Here Anyways and proceed with fucking up their tongue and achilles tendons and etc before they can be stopped.

they go through the process of becoming a Biter, having their arms removed and lots of implants put in and get drugged to hell and back, but manage to be like. just a touch more lucid than the other biters. just enough to differentiate between reagents versus expop versus prime assets and can follow commands a little easier. they’re still Angry though, their anger being the thing they cling onto from their life Before, and often end up attacking both reagents (who they view as enemies because no one tried to help them before they got Biter’d) and expop (who they also view as enemies due to good ol reagent instincts kicking in). I think either they would originally be assigned to the tv studio Or get moved there from the prison farm after trying to rip a chunk out of coyle, where they come to respect and eventually gain loyalty towards otto & arora, who treat it like 5% better than most anyone else due to being fascinated by its very slight lucidity. that’s maybe where the bloodsports stuff would come in, as maybe they drag reagents or the caged people or etc to it and watch it attack and maul them as Entertainment because they’re rich old people and would probably like that lmao.

whoever decided to put exit rush on locksock the warden needs to be drug out into the street and shot

[kresschemical]

I do not envy stun rig mains. currently I am doing blood drive STL on psychosurgery to get that one horrible coyle trial task done and I took stun with me because I assumed it’d be easier and I’m waiting for my rig to recharge after being forced to use it after getting cornered and this suckssss. why is the recharge time like 8 minutes that’s awful

[kresschemical]

mmmmm after sitting on it for a day or so I am starting to feel more negatively about LTW. I still think the trial environment and ambiance and such are good and the mechanics are fun to me but also it feels very… meanspirited? for lack of a better word? like it’s going “haha guys look coyle’s getting a blowjob from a fat man who calls him daddy and he’s really embarrassed about it and later you have to beat the fat man to death and his fat stomach jiggles while you do it isn’t that so funny?” and it’s really not. I’m gonna replay it solo in just a bit to scrounge around for details and see if I missed anything but it is making me feel a bit :-/ right now
