#self preservation mode

[mip-dev-center]

this surrounds a concept that I scrapped.

below the cut contains spoilers. the surrounding details are still accurate, though the specific concept isn't really around anymore. I think i would change the execution if I brought it back. also spoiled for implications of self harm in the ramblings

PU still has the beam because they still have a self-preservation mode. however I doubt they'd be allowed to/ able to generate and infect themself with rot. I think it'd have to be some other sort of infection ? then again idk. the idea of Umbra inflicting some sort of terrible condition on their structure that they suffer when connected to is interesting. They suffer immense guilt surrounding their actions and have no sort of punishment or retribution for any of them. they can't atone for their sins. though idk if their connection is quite strong enough for the pain to work. maybe it'd have to infect their puppet, instead？

ummm whatever. ill figure it out later eventually

Here's the second vignette. i have no idea how much you can make out with JUST images but im putting this both under spoilers and giving some content warnings

theres violence, specifically strangulation. but also kicking. perhaps it should be labeled as physical abuse? it's one-sided.

theres a gap of time in between here. thorns and sls are helping test something. physical violence is called for, enough to damage the puppet badly. in a rewrite id probably change this since testing methods of activation would make more sense to do without thorns present ;;;

ill give you the context that this was related to testing the "Self-Preservation" mode.

shes fine btw
