six's hunger is an excellent representation of the way her life and circumstances have forced her to adapt and become ruthless in her desperate fight for survival. it first appears after she drops mono and escapes the signal tower, an action regarded by many to be her most selfish decision. unlike future examples, this action was very likely motivated from spite, rather than a simple desire to survive; it is the prime example of ruthlessness shown in her behavior.
throughout the entire first game, six frequently struggles with hunger. this feature is exclusive to her after being kidnapped by the thin man, so we can assume that's the cause of her hunger. this is supported by said event also being the origin of her shadow, which appears nearby and watches during every instance. first consuming bread, then a piece of meat, followed by a live rat in a trap, we are shown that her hunger progressively escalates and demands more violence from her, just like the world she inhabits does.
kindness doesn't get you very far in the nowhere. after escaping the guests, six is once again confronted by her hunger, and she finds a nome who offers her a sausage to eat. she has shown these creatures kindness time and time again throughout the game, yet when gifted a meal by one, she chooses to eat it instead, following the pattern of escalating violence she's taken thus far. there are many reasons that could be raised to explain her reasoning for this decision. maybe in the kitchens, she found that the sausages served on the maw were likely made out of other kids just like her. maybe her clearly supernatural and painful hunger curse demanded more and more, leaving her unsatisfied after just a sausage. maybe the hunger limited her control over her actions. regardless of the reasoning, this act follows the pattern and shows that she's becoming increasingly cold as we progress, adapting to the harsh environment.
six is rewarded with her life and her hunger subsides after she eats the nome (runaway kid) (which she has absolutely no idea about, btw), and they're eaten in return for their compassion, because their world has no care for morality or kindness when all they can do is try to survive another day. six has learned this very well by the end of the game, where she defeats and consumes the lady as well after being struck with her last instance of hunger. she gains the lady's powers and turns around the same way the lady did at the very beginning, effectively establishing her as a parallel of one of the monsters she tried so hard to hide from. she walks to the maw's exit, killing the guests that try to stop her. they're trying to eat her, she needs to get to the door and she'll finally be free. six naturally became a product of her environment, only escaping the maw because she adapted to the ruthlessness of her environment in order to survive.
she finally escapes, reaching the top of the maw, and the ending is left ambiguous. what happens to her after? does the ship that brought the guests come back for her? is she trapped on the maw forever, only having seen an illusion of freedom? we don't know. we have no idea if her journey was worth it. we're left wondering, with no idea as to whether or not she truly won her survival. even after giving up so much and changing so drastically in a desperate attempt of escaping, her fate is left uncertain, and something about that's so fascinating to me.
i'm not sure if anyone's pointed this out but there's some foreshadowing on the tvs whenever mono goes through them
these aren't all of them but this is what i'm pointing out in particular
Everytime someone mischaracterizes Dexter as an actual sadistic serial killer that's just one-dimensionally evil and deranged i actually lose one year of my life.
Like, idk if this is an unpopular opinion, and I know it's not that serious, but watering down Dexter to just a Deranged Serial Killer™ bothers me a lot??? Not only because he's one of the most complex characters in the show, but also because. It feels wrong? Since he canonically has a mental illness he's clearly been struggling a lot with?? I dunno I feel it just plays into the "Mental illness = Insane" trope that i don't particularly enjoy. Let me know if this makes sense or if i'm just overly sensitive lmao
Also there's a CRIMINAL lack of Dexter angst regarding his struggles, his battling violent intrusive thoughts, and his deep desire to Be Good, that's absolutely not talked about enough in this fandom
Another very specific Dexter Erotoph headcanon I have, is that the cheery self he seems to have in Unwanted Guest is. Not his actual personality. Is more of a "workplace persona". A way of masking, if you will.
I like to think his actual personality is a VERY toned down version of his Happy Fella self. A bit pissy, grumpy, easy to upset, a bit more uncaring and tired? A bit more Kevin-like, if that makes sense, but with less empathy. IT'S MOSTLY CAUSE IN THE UNOFFICIAL PELO DOODLES HE SEEMS LESS CHEERY AND HYPERACTIVE AND MORE. SARCASTIC AND WITTY??? IDK I JUST REALLY LIKE TO WRITE HIM LIKE THAT.
When he gets exicited he does still smile wide and ramble and sometimes he's a bit too much to handle but like. Idk this is pretty much it this is the headcanon.
As much as I enjoy it when the fandom portrays Dexter and the other Spooky Month villains as getting along quite well, I raise you my personal interpretation:
He actually strongly dislikes them, because consider this: he's been plagued all his life by violent needs he just wishes he could get rid of, and always fears he'll end up not controlling himself and hurt someone on accident, and these FUCKERS go around and kill people??? For FUN??? He'd be like that meme "Wow all these people are insane, thank God i'm normal"
I personally think he'd actually would've gotten along quite well with Lila and the kids. Lila thinks he's a bit off-putting, but she didn't seem particularly wary of him in Unwanted Guest, so I think she'd know he's got a good heart despite everything. I can see him teaching the kids about his job like "And then the rat will get stuck in the trap, and won't be able to escape!" "That's so spooky!" "I know, right?!"
The kids would be SO exicited to spend time with him, just saying.
Also, I thought about an Average Spooky Month scenario where Lila and the kids are in danger, and Dexter just comes out of nowhere and starts horribly maiming the villain, only to then turn to Lila and be like "Hello Miss Lila! Seemed like you needed help, so I decided to exterminate the issue for you!" with the biggest smile ever. He would've 10/10 picked a fight with Bob.
We don't even know anymore. Khaled, my little one, has started pronouncing the word "bombing," and it terrifies me.
I’m not here to beg or list every detail—because even an entire newspaper wouldn’t be enough. The images on TV screens and the stories you see online already tell you so much about what we endure. But no matter how much you see, you’ll never truly feel what we feel. And I wouldn’t wish this life on anyone.
How You Can Help🥺🙏
In this moment of despair, I reach out to you—not just as a stranger, but as a fellow human being. Our humanity connects us, and compassion knows no boundaries. Your kindness, no matter how small, can bring a glimmer of hope to our lives, shattered by war.
Here’s what we’re trying to rebuild:
💔 $5,000 for the father.
💔 $5,000 for the mother.
💔 $2,500 for Khaled.
💔 $2,500 for Intesar.
The rest will go toward essential living expenses—because there’s no safety net here, no hospitals, no medicine, no healthy food.
Our baby has been sick countless times, and every evacuation has only made things worse. We need help to survive, to heal, and to dream of a better tomorrow.
Even a Little Means Everything
We appreciate your help, even if it’s just a small donation or simply sharing our story. Every bit of support matters. Together, we can rebuild what’s been taken from us and find hope amidst the rubble.

lotf fandom is so funny because people here are like "i headcanon that Jack Merridew has substance abuse issues" and Jack Merridew is a 12 year old boy who tried to vote himself leader and start crying and ran away when he lost
Definitely not my usual content, but I thought I'd share to tumblr too.
This was done without any planning/layouts, with only pen. It's very experimental because I was experimenting with different ways of shading and comic panel layout so... bare with me there.
I love Simon very much, and the interaction between him and the LOTF is my favorite scene of the entire book. I made this in a week long frenzy for my AP Lit class and... well, here it is.
(Also, sorry for any formatting/text issues, it's very hard to take good pictures of warped paper...) 🪰 🐷
Sometimes being the mum who exists in fandom spaces leads to awkward, even concerning, conversations. Such as the one which happened this morning. The mum of my daughter's best mate asked me if one of their mutual friends had sent her a specific message. This message was a link to a fic on ao3, if this had been a G rated fic this conversation would not have happened. It was not G rated. It was an E rated fic. Our kids aren't even 12 yet. As it happens, both of our kids have their internet access heavily locked down and monitored. They have phones because of how their school manages homework. The mutual friend, however, is not so monitored. Or she wasn't, given what her mum found she's about to be. This kid had found a fandom, joined it, and found it chock full of antis. The fic had been sent to her by one of them as an example of the sort of terrible people out there who need to be harassed and attacked because they wrote a smutty story.
Someone thought it was appropriate to send written porn to an 11 year old to encourage her to attack the author.
This resulted in a very awkward conversation where I had to explain to multiple horrified parents the anti culture that is becoming so prevalent. The fact that there are adults who use that purity message to groom kids. The way they escalate and how it bleeds into real life. One parent told me she'd wondered why her 14 year old was suddenly concerned about the two year age gap between her parents. The more I explained, the more absolutely ludicrous it sounded and the more baffled these poor mums looked. More than once I was told "but the characters aren't real, it's really weird but it isn't hurting anyone". Which is the point. The fictional situation isn't hurting anyone. The person who sent porn to an 11 year old is.
Was the person who sent it the author? Doubtful, that thing was tagged in the extreme. Was the person who sent it an adult? Almost certainly. The parent who's child received the original message has found more concerning stuff and gone to the police, but from the language the person doing the sending was in the US. We aren't. Did my daughter receive it? No, she isn't interested in that fandom and therefore wouldn't have bothered with it. Is this the fault of the author? No, they didn't send the link, they didn't ask to be harassed, they wrote a story and put it on ao3, the website created in response to rampant censorship and designed to allow for all kinds of fiction. Is this the fault of the parents? Partially, they should have been looking at their daughter's internet use and clocked what was happening sooner. Is this the fault of the child? No, she's 11, she didn't know better.
This has been a difficult day. Multiple parents have had their eyes opened to parts of fandom culture they had no idea existed. And the thing of it is, they aren't concerned about the why of anti rhetoric. They don't care about the adults writing about teens or rape or incest or torture or any of the rest, because they looked at the clearly tagged and rated fics and figured that it worked the same as a warning on any streaming service. They only cared because some utterly vile individual decided to expose their child to something this girl might not have looked at for years.
Proshippers did not cause what I have spent afternoon helping several sets of parents navigate. Antis did. Normally I'm fairly quiet about the whole debate because I just want to get on with my life and share my experiences. Today I got dragged into that mess in my every day life and the adults in the equation didn't react the way Antis like to think they would. They didn't condemn the author. They condemned the anti who shared the work with a preteen.
I don't know all the details and can't share a lot of them because of legal stuff. What we do know is the anti responsible is in the US so whatever happens with them is out of our hands (kiddo's mum relayed this, don't ask for details because I don't have them). Turns out this poor kid had also been exposed to NSFW fanart and a few other fics before we caught on. She is not in a good place, and breaking the mindset is not easy.
So fuck the anti rhetoric. All you're doing is protecting works of fiction at the expense of real children, and I despise that.
Ok, so I don't have an update about the child most hurt by all of this. Mostly because investigations into stuff like this is slow at the best of times, and international investigations are even bloody slower, but also because it's none of anyone's business at this point and I'm not going to spread anymore of this kid's business over the internet. The awareness of the harm done to them is enough. I do, however, have something I need to add because some people lack the critical thinking ability to do the really fucking bloody obvious:
Do not come onto this post with your comments or your reblogs that contain the phrase "I don't agree with proshipping but...". Alright? Just don't.
"Pro" a prefix meaning "for". "Anti" a prefix meaning "against". Alright. End of. Proshipping is simply ship and let ship. Shut up and mind your own business about whatever that person is shipping. Because this post isn't a discourse about whether there are things people should be allowed to ship and write about or not. This post is about the very real harm the so called anti community is doing to very real people in order to protect fucking pixels.
You think proshipping is the thing causing the harm? The people who make their work and tag it to shit before posting so that the people who want to see it can, and the people who want to avoid it are able to avoid engaging? The person who wrote an E (for explicit, this was ao3 remember) story, posted it on the website created so that people could ship their ship and write their dark and nasty fic without having it deleted or being persecuted for it, and tagged it so clearly that I didn't even need to open it to know it contained specific themes. That person? You think that person did the harm when it was actually some purity obsessed asshole who sent it to a literal, physical, real child? You really think the person who tagged their stuff so thoroughly to protect people who didn't want to read it from reading it is the person responsible for the harm done to that child? And you're going to come into the comments on this post and go "I don't agree with proshipping but..." at me. Fuck right off. If that's your first thought, get off the internet, go take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror and contemplate why you're getting your knickers in a twist over works of fiction. Because people like you are the ones on the slipperly slope to harming real, living, breathing children. Not the poor bugger who just wanted to write and share a work of fiction for reasons of their own.
i can't even bother to care about how people see me after this, the fact this even happens to the point where eleven year olds are being sent porn over shipping discourse makes me sick
this leads into so many grooming cases just being swept away or hidden and it's not talked about enough because people wanna feel morally superior while not giving a shit about actual kids
it's aggravating even seeing these kinds of people in the majority because actual csa reports are actively being flooded away by drawings every single day
