Farewell

hngghh domestic......

Afterlife bonding

i will never not find it funny to point out that the slut from second eruption and the kind old man on the astral express are pretty much the same person, with the exception that welt is significantly less burdened while traveling with the express (doesn't say much though). but mainly also bc i went through the experience of playing hsr and going "oh he's pretty calm and collected!" to getting into hi3 and going "oh wow he used to be pretty unhinged" to seeing what he's up to right before hsr (hi3 after-story) and going "oh. the. the hi3 one is the most normal one actually. that guy is uh. hm. okay." (<- brimming with excitement)

In this sweet dream, only i remain.

Dr. Ratio: I've read 20 textbooks on romance and human relationships. I followed all the instructions. Why does he still think I hate him?

Dr. Ratio: I likened him to a beautiful bird ("The Attini Peacock boasts one of the universe's more jarring songs, and your choice of attire is somewhat peacock-esque").

Dr. Ratio: I complimented his abilities ("He's not awful to work with").

Dr. Ratio: I playfully implied that he'd look better without his clothes ("I keep telling him the flashy outfits are just making his job harder").

Dr. Ratio: I indulge in his whims ("You could easily squash me with just a pinch"—"If that is your wish, I will do so without a moment's hesitation").

His rubber ducky he was talking to all this time: … (can you please be normal for like 5 minutes and just go and talk to him?)

ok so maybe, as a gifted kid w gifted kid trauma, i may throw my hat in the ring on ratios relationship w the genius society.

I don't think he wants to be a part of the society because hes such an open critic of them and some of their practices. However, I do think that there is a little bit of bitterness there. But not for the reasons that you'd think.

i want you all to consider for his perspective on this: You've spent your entire life striving for perfection in your field. Day and night, year after year, you work and work and work towards a goal that you believe is a good, selfless cause. And people have likely told you that you're simply too altruistic, that its not worth it and that your talents and skills are best put to work in areas that would instead tear the world apart. It hurts your heart to think that, being raised to be a kind and diligent person, the world feels your kindness is beneath you.

You've spent your life dedicated to knowledge in the pursuit of a greater tomorrow, not just for knowledge's sake. And a part of you hopes that maybe THEY will turn THEIR eye towards you, and recognize that someone so good and hardworking is worthy of recognition - that humanity and simply caring enough to go above and beyond, something so intrinsic to your identity - is worthy of all the praise lavished upon them over the years. That maybe when THEY see your hard work, everyone will recognize the truth and that things will finally be better. Maybe the universe will say "you have done enough, you have helped all you can, rest easy."

But that never happens. And if no one else will do the work, then you will.

How would you feel?

someone help him 😭
