as a system member and as a host who had to pick up someone else's life where they left off it burns my biscuits to a crisp to see people conflating Actual Human Margulis with Sentient Mimic Infused With Memories Of Actual Human Margulis (Tenno memories or Lord Ballsack's skewed idea of her or both? unsure)
Yes they both love us and protect us but they were. not. the. same. people. They're not even the same species for fucks sake.
And I know when Lotus asks, you can choose a presentation for her between Human Margulis, Natah the Sentient and the Lotus you know and love. But even if you pick Margulis. She's built off of outsider memories of a person. Margulis' consciousness was fully burned out of her by the Jade light before Natah even entered the stage. And if Ballas had somehow kept a copy of Margulis' mind and memories? (which is unlikely bc then he would discover she erased *our* memories) he would've edited them to place into Natah
I don't remember where I was going with this. I don't even know if it has a point or I was just irritated and overstimulated by brushing up against these cheese graters of people's takes that do not account for the fact that Our Current Margulis is not Original Human Margulis. And maybe it's stupid to want that recognition because... most people aren't plural. To them, she's basically Original Margulis Returned. close enough welcome back Archimedean Margulis 🙄 (even though de actually has more than one explicit plural narratives but u know it doesn't often get talked about that way bc *gestures to 97% of population being singlets)
IDK what to do with that. And I don't really have more time to spend on it rn. -_-
maybe I'll revisit it later
