forbidden matching viric set for a nightmarish shady duo

i made a simple parabolan fit design for Reisz with their in-game items :D inspired by the neathyfashioncoalition prompt but uhh i went so ham with the original piece it mightve ended up too eyestrain-y to submit :[ still figuring out what to do with it but for now have these. adjacent doodles

anyway anyhow. smol loredrop below :]

after LF one of the first things reisz did aside from going insane was getting this quality:

the whole deal with the sun was A Misunderstanding and they did Not want to stay on bad terms with the native inhabitants of Parabola, so they really put work in building a reputation among the general snek populace. Reisz also generally sympathizes with the Fingerkings because well. they just want to Exist. they find that admirable, yknow? in the end it's not that different from their own motivation of Feeling Alive

(the Boil still won't see them, but never bothered them again either, so they tentatively assume things are ? at a truce of sorts. i have some loose ideas abt the boil & eddie to explain why they seem to leave the pc alone in-universe but theyre still all over the place tbh)

so yeah Reisz arranged 364758 vessels for the sneks and irresponsibly set a bunch of them loose in the Is. they are greeted by hisses of approbation everywhere & often have little schools of possessed fish following them around in Parabola. at some point there was a whole queue for guided trips to London

they hiss a little, some days more than not, but well, when you speak whispering/trying not to move your mouth the sibilant sounds can become quite marked. they don't think this is because of their Connections.

the split tongue definitely is though but its cool so they dont mind it

i must note, bc this is rly funny, we (me and rei) did not know fingerkings possessed people by the time we maxed Connected bc we hadnt gotten to that part of the Labyrinth/Dangerous MYN yet. LOL

as you can see i drew them separately and couldnt resist quickly applepenning the doodles bc. theyre a fuckign set apparently ??? (side-eyeing the blorbos merging in my head) disgustang... i know no peace...

I feel like moonmilked eddie would happily scramble to match his spousey (reiddie voice: why wont u wear your smiling mask my love... breaking my heart every single day......) but mine wouldn't currently. Darling That Is Not My Colour And It Is Not Yours Either. maybe in the uncertain future......

[szilverer]

theoretically. could one moonmilk the bazaar. ?

looking for something in last year's screenshots and. throwback to this, in which the flpc is implied to dissect the possessed goldfish

where does the fingerking go. did it respawn in parabola? does it just poof out into permanent inexistence when you kill the host body? what happens if you eat the goldfish does the fingerking get digested too. this tidbit of text raises many questions and gives no answers. how does a fingerking taste

[szilverer]

very important question: has reisz ever enjoyed a nuptial phantasy at the feast of the rose. and if so, who (steepling hands together in a slightly ominous way)

:D nope! no married dreams for reisz only nightmares.

on our first fotr we spent most of it dancing with devils to get rid of the consummation cards, then scrambling masquing for items; and on our second we had The Smuggler Incident. so. too emotionally busy for that

i would def had sent rei in one last year (they werent weird abt their husband that way yet, and very very lovestarved), though, if... the options enticed us at all. unfortunately that wasn't the case:

bishop: he's cool and nice but they never saw him like that

sinning jenny: never met this lady, why would they even

cheery man: knew him from some business only. also never saw him like that. year one/two rei really favoured women/female-presenting people... i think they just arent attracted to beards tbh

the widow: ah, the ungrateful lady who gave em these whip scars and had em thrown in the river? no.

wines: who?

kind of a shame bc learning what a Married Life was supposed to be like could be used as torture fuel but alas. the canon remains that they dont know shit. which is also torture fuel in its own way

chat i cried real irl tears over this

whats this healthy cuteness doing in my toxic ship im tossing myself in the sea.

now i cant unimagine my playthrough as eddie themself playing so he could self-insert and live vicariously thru these pixels in an island where nothing hurts and he could have met and befriended people normally. including his wife. not like he particularly wants friends or to not be isolated in his nightmare orphanage tower rapunzel style but. yknow. he too can enjoy things in fiction that he wouldnt in reality. poor edward plays tomodachi life

if he played sims he would 100% be downloading those extreme violence and nsfw mods though.

extras:

this has insane meme potential.

zé is the official third wheel in this parabolan dreamscape and his body is almost as tall as his head 😭

y'know... for a setting that places so much importance in Language and does so many ice cool things playing with it (Correspondence/Discordance, Parabola & Irem, etc) i think there's a bit of a missed opportunity when it comes to the terms and words people use in their day to day life... like for example:

do you think radical revolutionaries would avoid words like "enlightening" in their vocabulary and flip them for LON-appropriate counterparts to signal their beliefs?

like substituting the word "light" with "blight". lol

similarly, pet names relating to light like "sunshine" kinda have a whole extra flavour tied to them, leaning into nostalgia, melancholy and/or danger depending on the people using it. irony, even

"honey" as a pet name also has extra connotations now and might actually bother some people instead due to the association with the drug...

do you think SMEN, taboo as it is, and seeking being a recognizable phenomenon even to the common londoner, would spawn swear words and insults? (imagine the weight of telling someone to Go Seek or Fall Down a Well)

the word "well" itself. well as an adverb, interjection, adjective. just. think about it. think about what it represents. idk something is happening to this word for sure
