the thing i love about iron lung is i can sympathize with both the COI and eden. Lying down and accepting death is not something that comes naturally to people, and i will always sympathize with characters who are able to make the tough call of "the loss of one person is less than the loss of a thousand." yeah, ava is essentially feeding meat into the grinder on a desperate hope that it will mean something. But when youre staring down the starvation and slow death of hundreds of people, the idea of sacrificing just a couple of them to keep the rest going starts to get easier to swallow. And god its so human to strive to survive, even in the face of an empty void. Searching for an answer to what happened with the quiet rapture, searching for an answer to how to survive, seeking any tangible explanation for how they can keep going. like simon says, maybe it will happen again. maybe if they can just figure out where everything went, they can bring it back. their hope lies firmly in the idea that there must be a solution out there.
but I can also get where eden is coming from too. What future is there really? is survival living? is scraping by really a life? at what point do you accept that you are a dying species and its time to throw in the towel? Not saying you should go around murdering, but I can see the logic of stopping searching for a solution. I can understand the nihilism there when youre living on a space station surrounded by dead stars and void. hope is a commodity, and eden has run out of hope for humanity. hell, the note from the previous convict says that the only hope now lies beyond the veil (of death). and im not gonna fully get into it, it could be its own post, but there are massive religious themes behind that. i mean its literally called eden, with its center point being a tree. when the voice asks about god, simon tells it he heard enough of that stuff in eden. point is, they no longer have hope for the future, their hope lies beyond life. death is their solution.
science vs spirituality. who do you look to in a time of crisis?
Idk i just love that the movie asks you "what is life and what is it worth?"
fuckin LOVE when my knuckles get chapped like hell yeah man I was in a FIGHT and my KNUCKLES got all BLOODY AND BRUISED fuck yeah
yes you're right. i should write p/rismo more

finished main story all im gonna say is that mc definitely not me in this scenario because that mf would've been shot the moment i realized he'd drugged me. and people will dead look you in the eye and tell you you're being too soft for not wanting the love interest to be someone who commits crimes against you and constantly infringes on your bodily autonomy and consent. like we don't all clown booktok "dark romance" for popularizing that same shit and like we're not in a climate where misogyny is so incredibly pervasive and violent. like sue me for not wanting that in a game where im supposed to self insert wtf????
not trying to milk out the situation, but it does need to be said, you do get some really weird anons
Right??????
I am minding my own god damned business and people just kind of wander in to MY FUCKING HOUSE, yell at me, and either stay until I block them or leave weird ass apologies. IN MY OWN HOME.
"I'm sorry for my ice cruel words"
WHAT THE FUCK EVEN IS THAT??... But yeah. I dunno. I get some real weirdos sometimes.
I think I prefer weirdos to like, coherent transphobes though. Weirdos in their own right, but those ones actually speak to me like a shitty and unlikable person and not a hilarious* chat GPT fanfic.
i don't think i've been this upset about a character death since like Allison in Teen Wolf
