Getting lost in the Fallen Hero sauce again finally after like... 3 years of not really playing it much? With a brand new Sidestep going by the name Dorothy (I might change the name later, I haven't fully decided yet).
"Bloody fingers say nothing of intent" HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PLEASE this is gold, new favorite line in the whole series I will be thinking about this for the next 48 hours straight
"is this a cry for help from someone without a mouth to cry with?" 😭😭😭😭
I don't think I've ever made a Step who has a more confusing and distressing present-day relationship with Ortega. I am channeling so much of my frustration with my ex (who had some personality traits in common with Ortega, but not in a good way) and with the person I was when I was with them (aka someone who blindly looked up to them and turned myself into little more than an extention of them) into this.
"You are both the smith and the sword" "They always treated you like a dog to be trained, but sometimes even dogs turn against their masters. And tear out their throats" I am gnawing on the walls. Also, fuck yeah go eat the rich Dorothy.
Oh the repressed longing for personhood that I feel fundamentally seperate from, we're really in it now. ;-;
