I love you & would die for you.
Helen’s Personhood
[Plain text: Helen’s Personhood]
Okay, so, first of all, I find Distorted!Helen’s selfhood to be ambiguous. She’s a monster (she’s hurting innocent people) but how much of her monstrosity is defined by who Orignal!Helen was?

Content warning for mentioned bigotry until the next section.
Have you ever liked someone, be it friend, family, romantic partner, etc only for them to turn out to be bigoted, or have political views you find morally repulsive? Have you ever done research into hate groups and realized that their dogwhistles and more benign beliefs are things you’ve been repeating and believing without realizing the harm they cause?
After this, have you ever doubted your every belief about a person, a cause, a belief, just because you’re so terrified about falling into that trap of believing something that with the proper context you would find morally wrong? Liking someone who has done morally wrong things? Supporting a cause that harms people you wish to help?
O!Helen is a Tory — for people who don’t know what that means… look it up. But she’s nice, Jon liked her, Jon never got the chance to not like her, chance to get closure. She asks the question: can you really trust your judgment of the people around you? That’s pretty Spiral to me.
“I have never told you a lie.”
[Plain text: “I have never told you a lie.”]
In episode 115, D!Helen visits Jon once he’s finished with a statement. She states that she is somewhat O!Helen, she states that she is not lying, and we know that’s true. D!Helen doesn’t lie. D!Helen lies once in the whole show to say to Jon that she isn’t afraid of him, and ultimately that is what leads to her doom. She isn’t lying when she says she feels guilty. She isn’t lying when she says she’s O!Helen.
We know that at least some part of D!Helen is O!Helen. We know that O!Helen is a Tory, and that’s pretty Spiral, especially in the way that D!Helen is Spiral, with false friendship rather that a fear of budding psychosis.
Jon and Helen’s Similarities and Differences
[Plain text: Jon and Helen’s Similarities and Differences]
“I was pretty paranoid myself at that point.”
[Plain text: “I was pretty paranoid myself at that point.”]
Jon and Helen meet each other when they’re both in similar states. Jon is paranoid due to the discovery of Gertrude’s murder and the passive influence of Not!Sasha. O!Helen is paranoid due to her time spent in Distorted!Michael’s hallways.
[ID: Text reading “ARCHIVIST / It did. I think... I mean, you remember how I was back then, how paranoid. The Not!Sasha was there, and I could sense something wasn’t right, but I just couldn’t place it. Left me a suspicious wreck. Then when Helen Richardson came in, it seemed like... she was in the same place I was, but worse, further along. I thought, maybe if I could help her, that would mean... maybe I wasn’t beyond help?” /End ID]
In episode 188, Jon states that he thought if he could help O!Helen, that would mean he was not beyond help. Immediately after Jon takes her statement, O!Helen is tricked into waling through the wrong door and begins her journey into becoming a monster.
Someone tag tumblr user annabelle—cane, there’s door motifs in the Helen and Jon post.
“We’re both changing, Archivist.”
[Plain text: “We’re both changing, Archivist.”]
In episode 115, Helen comes to Jon for help.
In episode 146, Jon goes to Helen for answers.
After Jon is finished recording a statement in episode 115, he is visited by Helen. She asks him for help. He’s too early in his journey, he’s scared, he has no ability to console Helen about an old man she murdered.
But see… the thing is, Jon doesn’t snap when Helen tells him about the old man. Jon snaps when Helen says they’re the same.
[ID: Text reading “HELEN / I have never told you a lie, Archivist. I wouldn’t dare. I, I just thought you might understand. ARCHIVIST / Uh... How could I possibly... / HELEN / We’re both changing, Archivist. I had hoped, that together— / ARCHIVIST / (Angry) Get out.” /End ID]
In episode 146, Jon is angry. He’s just finished reading Marcus MacKenzie’s statement and he cannot get a hold of the statement giver. He goes to Helen’s door, he goes to confront her with an anger that is at least partially psychological projection.
[ID: Text reading “HELEN / I took a man, wandering the halls of an old tenement. He's dead now, he never even came close to finding me. It was nourishing, but... /ARCHIVIST / But... / HELEN / I didn't like it. / ARCHIVIST / You d— (Sigh) I'm not sure I follow. / HELEN / I feel... wrong. I feel this—” /End ID]
[ID: Text reading “ARCHIVIST / And his son? Marcus? He was fine when I found his father's statement two years ago, but now, suddenly, I can't get through to him. / HELEN / No, I imagine not. I decided it was time to finish that game a few months ago. / ARCHIVIST / You... Why? / HELEN / Not sure. I suppose Helen didn't have quite the same attachment to him as a project. I'm not quite as much for decades-long campaigns of subtle terror these days. / ARCHIVIST / That's horrible. / HELEN / Is it? We do what we need to do when it comes to feeding, don't we? / … / Don't we, Archivist? / ARCHIVIST / (Softly) Yes.” /End ID]
In episode 115, Helen feels guilty over killing this old man. Jon is horrified at the thought that he might one day be something like her. In episode 146, Helen no longer feels guilty, Helen no longer feels bad. Helen feels full. And when Helen says they must for feeding, for nourishment… Jon doesn’t deny it. Is this something like growth? Jon is following in Helen’s footsteps, down the spiral of paranoia, down into guilty acceptance of monstrosity.
Day 20 of living with Fred.
Today I found a wild zombie that somehow managed to squeeze itself into an empty space inside one of our walls. Fred seems generally jumpy (that with the feds looking for him, apparently), but just then he flat out ran to the opposite side of the room and refused to come any closer or move from there at all. I was forced to get rid of it for him. No new roommates for us anytime soon it seems, smh. (The zombie couldn't even do tricks, so that was a waste anyway).

legends tell of a lone joehills statue built in the middle of nowhere, somewhere on the server. many have claimed to seen it, but who's to say for sure...
i think if any of the polls turn out 50/50 we let both of the participants compete together. and if they happen to win the entire poll like that at the end we get them to fight in a cactus ring.
Just so everybody knows, despite not being on tumblr Bug has so much propaganda ready...
