I might bootleg a copy of Dishonored now. Because Ho-oly shit

@ourcrazym Ah, well, this isn’t in the game, I mostly took only the setting and the Outsider, but the game raises many interesting moral questions itself - mostly pertaining to the ‘pacifist’ run, that is sparing your targets, when you think a bit on their fate. Ideally, the only person I’d spare would be Daud, and Billy, because that’s more or less canon, and Daud was merely a tool used, a ‘knife’, to kill the Empress.

In short, I’d prefer my Corvo take the lives of people involved - which is a bad choice (chaos). The good choices - sparing the lives of your targets - are crueler in the context. Especially Lady Boyle choice. It had my skin crawl in the end.

@gyromitra-esculenta Comment on the scene in "The Mark" where Widow and Tracer commit suicide

@ourcrazymOh hell, this is one big can of worms there because the scene is the culmination of several motifs and themes relying on the background that might not be obvious - and one of the main themes of the story as a whole is revenge for misdeeds real and perceived, and the fruits said revenge bears. So at the start, I do have to repeat that while most of the narration is done through Jack’s point of view, the main character of the story is Gabriel, and his choices - his revenge and intentions the reader would project on him - shape the events.

Revenge does not need to rational.

The masquerade dance is the point where both Amelie and Lena take their own personal acts of revenge.

Lena takes her revenge close and personal, for the abuse her father inflicted on her, for her mother’s indifference, and for her sister’s innocence, for the fact that she had been spared the horrors Lena went through.

Amelie wants to see the whole system that let her be abused - traded away by Gerard for power - crash and burn. True, she had killed Gerard after that and run, but it was the whole rotten establishment that let her be abused and covered it up. (Gabriel treats Amelie differently than Jack - Jack had not known the truth of the events, Gabriel did.)

They definitely were a bad influence on each other and yet had given each other something they both needed - companionship. They are two wounded souls that had found each other - and sometimes you cannot ‘fix’ people.

When they dance, all the other guests are dead, poisoned. Even if the Empress lives, even if the Hidden Heir survives, the whole power structure will topple, and the city will fall into utter chaos for years. Amelie also knows that if Gabriel survives the confrontation in the garden he will come and kill them both, her and Lena - because Gabriel’s revenge is on the world as a whole.

So, Amelie decides to die on her own terms, and Lena will not abandon the only person who stood by her, and who loved her as broken as she was.

They sit down knowing the end is near, share a kiss of poisoned wine, and fade away. The roses that Amelie had enchanted wither with her death. They sit as they should’ve been in their life, serene, peaceful, with their shoulders no longer weighted down by the wrongs the people around them - people that should’ve been the ones to cherish and care for them - had inflicted on them.

Lena is again that little girl who looks up the gorgeous Lady. Amelie is again that Lady who with grace and smile guides young ladies through the intricacies of the court.

JUST FINISH THE GODDAMN CHAPTER GYRO

Oh, it might be from that chapter. Or the next one. Depends how much time it will take for Jack to meet up with Lena and Winston. A lot can happen in an hour. There’s a lot of potential for MCD in this hour, maybe hour and a half.

ourcrazym replied to your chat “geri-lea: me externally: I write fanfic because I enjoy it! I write...”

@gyromitra-esculenta I thought people wrote fanfics for writing practice. I mean that is what I do

@ourcrazym I think that also depends a lot on what is your opinion on fanfiction - if you treat it as a less legitimate medium than the original writing - and on your general state of mind (and mine is a mess).

Of course, I write mostly for myself (and that one person) because I have an idea, but on the other hand I want people to like my stories, and it’s complicated (very complicated).
