“Kiss the brick! Kiss the brick!!” THESE ARE MY KISSES. TAKE IT LIKE A MAN! /J
Ughh I just need to sit down and right a 400 page fanfiction about the grotesque events that happen in Ruin’s past. I have SO much fan-lore and theories based off in-show implications, dude.
This being one of them,
Monty along with the rest of Ruin’s friends were often locked up in separate cells. This was to keep them apart in case they’d try to kill each other. If they were getting too violent in their cells, they could be forced offline for a time until they were needed. Say, a city raid or government involved battle.
Ruin has very limited free time when it comes to being a front-line solider, but when he gets a chance - and EVERY chance, he’d visit his friends and try to calm them. If they were ever force offline, he would try to soothe them before they dropped. He’d ramble or vent to the muffled and distorted screams around him - just to drown out his thoughts out loud in a place his Creator wouldn’t hear, and even show off little things he’d find to his friends when they were a bit more sentient.
The barriers in cells are closely related to those one cells in Steven Universe (because it’s the BEST CELL DESIGN EVER). It disrupts coding, burns through silicone, metal, and plastic…and is just downright agonizing to touch. It would take a lot of willpower for them to power through it, but most of them prioritize survival first. Except Monty - so he’d be the first to break out. Luckily for the Creator, Ruin’s little visits are keeping Monty at bay. Yay! [Fuck you. - Ruin]
Ruin considers trying to break down that barrier himself…whether by hacking or brute force. He’s never gotten a full conclusion, so he just toys with it like a vaccine. It hurts like hell, but anything to get a few inches closer to his zombie husband.
He has, in fact, caused himself numerous injuries for this. He literally loses a SECOND finger in this comic…great job, Ruin. Can’t wait to tell Creator.
TRIGGER WARNINGS: INJURIES, [ALL GRAPHIC DIALOGUE, NOT VISUALS] SH, SELF MURDER, WAR, INJURIES X2, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE (UNDER AN UNCONTROLLABLE FORCE), FICTIONAL IMPLIED DEATH, MURDER, BRAINWASHING/MANIPULATION, ETC.
AKA, CRASH OUT VETERAN GOES WILD!
This is genuinely how I feel every time I see Ruin cornered. In ANY scenario.
I do want to make a p3 with Montgomery’s POV…it just took me a few days to complete this one, so it may be a while. But, it is important to note that there is intentional blindness here. This is only Ruin’s PERSPECTIVE of the last 40 years. This isn’t the actual layout of the story, it’s only what he’s seen and gone through. For an example in blindness - the real Montgomery isn’t…angry at Ruin…although Ruin isn’t “arguing with the virus”, he’s not arguing with Monty either. Ruin is arguing with his old thoughts carried over by time and infection.
There’s a lot of detail in this one. Have fun dissecting!
The glitches represent far more than one thing. The list goes as following:
Trauma, Ruin Virus (contained but spilling), The Creator’s influence, and years of propaganda/brainwashing.
I’m off to play Dandy’s World now, as if I didn’t just unfold years of my Ruin lore. This is all based on fanon-based lore with assistance from show implications!!! I have Ruin’s entire backstory just SIMMERING in my head.
this is more of a for-fun-feel-free-to-ignore-thing but do you have any headcanons you'd be okay with sharing 👀
About literally anyone
RUIN HAS A MINI MACHINE GUN IN HIS ARM.
…Oh…and subconsciously spreads his 40 years of propaganda PTSD.
COMIC BELOW THE CUT TO EXPLAIN SOME…NEWLY APPEARING SYMBOLS…
• Ruin hasn’t shown his gun to anyone.
- In fact, he neglects it so even he forgets he has it.
• Ruin suppresses a LOT of memories just to get by. He’s healed from a lot, but there are some things he couldn’t survive remembering, so he suppresses it.
- This also causes lots of his coding to scramble or become messy, leaving memories apparent but not clear.
- Being triggered can snap memories back to the front of his mind and uncorrupt themselves.
- His memories are also affected by the fact that the “Ruin Virus” in him is contained. Considering that is an extension of himself - it is preventing him from being at his full potential or mental capacity. This makes it EVEN HARDER to remember things.
- By no means does he have any dementia, it’s just certain phrases or exact memories get completely BLOCKED and it hurts to try and remember them. For example, the symbol adorned on his “awakened” fit.
• The symbol is a reference to Ruin’s HOME WORLD…The Abandoned City by Sournectic in VRCHAT!
- If you want to find this symbol, it will be in the main viewing room on the left screen (after some animations.)
- This is an animated symbol..the symbols move…🥺
• Despite the gun being built into his endoskeleton, this is NOT his main weapon of choice! He prefers snipers. This is good for mass-crowd combat. Like being attacked by a swarm.
Addressing the controversy that Ruin has a bald spot under his hat. Yeah. He does. It gets really annoying to keep your rays stuck in your head - it’s like keeping a fist clenched for days on end. He just chopped it off when he made his new body <3
He’s no stranger to missing rays anyways…WHATTT!!! WHO SAID THAAAATT!!! YOU CAN’T BE MAKING FUN OF HIS TRAUMATIC INJURIES BRROO!!!
