Imagination of my sneud as kids 👁️👁️, their roles reverse a bit o_o
ok gonna yap more about how i see them below
Freud: Low-empathy AuDHD kid with zero intention or knowledge to mask at all really. Also more emotional/sensitive/responsive to stimuli because autism be Like That. I think as he gets older he'd become more tolerant of it and just mellow out in general because he isn't a neurodivergent child experiencing the World for the first time & filled with anger at being born anymore, and learns that being excellent allows him to get away with a lot of things behaviorally once he's an adult.
BUT as a child he'd keep to himself, making him prone to social ostracization/teasing (it just happens because everyone thinks he's some freak and I don't see him making an effort to talk to others unless he finds them interesting) (which is no one LMAO) (another random note. he had to have been a mama's boy so he'd really only care about her as a young boy. it's literally in his name i can't not assign that).
He'd probably doze off/daydream at his desk and wander off to abandoned buildings during school hours because he'd do anything but stay stationed in the stuffy classroom full of people that see him as nothing.
Also I think he'd be able to draw, but in a way that like. he can draw machinery with impeccable structure & details but can only draw stick figures for people LOL
Snail: I think from a young age he would very quickly understand the advantage of his white privilege and status of wealth, and pays no mind in utilizing it in order to get what he wants; he'd already be in a place of privilege with parents that are ready to fund whatever resources for tutoring/training/etc. to help him excel and bring honor to the household (or some ingrained code like that). His father could either be another corpo dog or straightup just a bigwig at some subsidiary (I'll think about these details later...)
Naturally from this advantage, he'd be used to excelling in academics/athletics/work, so that just feeds into his superiority complex beginning from a young age. Obligatory teacher's pet and imminent boot-licker but dismissive of his "lesser" peers. Only interacts with those he deems "worthy" and possibly(?) fairly popular among women (he'd mask to appear more approachable and respectful, and he knows how being desirable makes one's status higher and more coveted…).
Getting older, he'd probably get more career-focused and cranky though (i mean think of the Maeterlinck Incident™). In other words: he gets Washed. Other than that, he'd be a pretty proactive kid with dreams of grandeur, except he's much too aware that such a path is—in some degree—quite inevitable with his skills (obviously this becomes true, just not to the full extent of what he truly wants, becoming second to, ahem, as I have said in the past: "a random ass autistic ac junkie").
I really like strengthening the dichotomy of their circumstances in connection to how they end up as adults, sooo >:333 yeah >:33
:p also the art is just a hypothetical imagining of them interacting, as I really don't think they would be in the same schooling system, or much less even on raised on the same planet.
Every time (2 times so far) since playing Armored Core 6 when I get into enough mental distress to be on the verge if breakdown like when I nearly cried in the fitting room shopping for women’s pants because I felt like I wasn’t a real woman and a larp and a fake or when I got stalked by a not right in the head woman for a morning bus ride I’ve had one or two of the Vespers appear in my head to comfort me. Stalking situation? It was V.IV Rusty and V.II Snail. With the woman larp pants? It was V.II Snail and V.VI Pater I think. Definitely Snail both scenarios. I do not know why this happens. I think it’s like dissociative autism bpd stuff. Thanks Snail even if you’ve been fed up with my shit both times you helped me.
