Hey, I know I'm not around a lot but I'm in kind of a bad situation and I need some help. After losing my job and completely being unable to get new work, I'm desperately trying to support myself and my disabled partner.

I've put out upwards of 300 applications in the last 3 months, I've honestly lost count, and have had one interview despite my efforts and searching in multiple places and industries. I'm just... Not having a good go of it at all. I'm the only income we have right now and unemployment benefits are running out.

Every little bit helps, and even a small donation can make a big difference in our lives. Please consider clicking the link below to donate or share this message with others who might help. Thank you so much for your kindness 🩷

Considering a soft reset for my boy. My interpretation of Ryou has shifted enough. But not enough that I'd do a full reset?

Idk, he'd still be Drug Boy but there are certain things I HC Ryou with now that is just not possible to change without starting over in some capacity.

A mess to think about, esp since I only show up sometimes to muse and then disappear lol

"Sometimes I wonder... If I could start over again, who would I be?"

"I don't think much could change, that old self had no ability to stand for himself. Blindly in love and yet afraid for everyone around him."

"And abandoned by the friends he worried about."

"But if I could keep that knowledge and go back... Maybe it would have been nice to try and join my dad's new family... Maybe I could have protected people better..."

"Maybe I could stop him."

How naive...

[malfiora]

Ryou and the Spirit are literally soulmates.

I've noted how Ryou's ability to bargain may be what makes him the Spirit's perfect vessel, but let's lean in more. It's not just his talent for striking deals, but also his refusal to be cowed by the Spirit. (Listen, I love pathetic Ryou in fanfics as much as the next person, but canonically speaking, he isn't afraid of the Spirit, only afraid for his friends.) He stands up to the Spirit to protect what matters to him, and so every surrender after that is a choice.

And yet, Ryou remains blemish free. He touches darkness, even rolls around in it, and comes up no worse for it. He admits that he likes the occult and that his favorite game is Monster World, meaning he has been intimately familiar with the instruments that the Spirit uses for shadow games. And still, Ryou is compassionate and light. This shows in how he's never blamed for the dark things that happen around him — his friends just find him too innocent to be culpable. More than any other, this aspect is a huge indicator that he's the perfect vessel.

The Spirit is the avatar of ultimate darkness, of the shadows themselves, and so his vessel would need to be strong enough to not be subsumed by that darkness. In Ryou, he finds incorrigible light and a lack of fear, and those form the boundaries to contain him.

The timing also works out perfectly, and I'll get into that in another post.
