Ask-alex-shepherd Replied To Your Video: The Minds Behind Silent Hill Discuss The Sexuality...

The creature gave a hideous screech at the mechanic, grinning away in the same creepy porcelain grin only it could retain. Without warning it jumped to the ceiling and hid in a shadowy corner, determined to scroll through Yusei’s memories and squeal about its Starshipping feels.

The mechanic blinked looking at his list of followers.

“Thank you for the follow - I look forward to conversing with you in the future, for those I may have missed I thank you at this time as well. Do not hesitate to ask if you are in need of assistance I shall help if it is within my abilities.”

Eileen's Birthday

Henry had a few things to say to her. Notes: Henry's PoV BUT everything I've written is what Henry says out loud. You don't hear his thoughts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

... No. Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Just a little nervous. It’s been a while since I’ve seen her. .... Yeah, she is special. I’ve wanted to tell her for a long time but... well... you know what I mean, right? .... Yeah, here’s the stop. ... ... I will. Thanks for the ride Travis. I’ll see you in a few hours. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Where are you? I know you’re hiding here somewhere. Oh! There you are, I almost missed you. How are you Eileen? Are you keeping well? .... What? You didn’t believe me? I told you I’d remember. I’m here, aren’t I? Look... umm... I got you a gift. I know you said there was no need but... well I hope you like them. It is a special occasion after all. Yeah... I know you love flowers and these roses reminded me of you. This shade of red reminded me of your beautiful lips and the petals reminded me of your skin: so soft and pure. I know they’re not as nice as you are but it’s as close to as perfection as I could get. .... A-ah... Yeah. I’m sorry. That sounded really weird: don’t try to convince me otherwise. It’s kind of hard to articulate my thoughts into words like this. You were always so much better at expressing yourself, Eileen. You’re a much better person then I am in general. Everything about you is just... something else. Even now I’m just awestruck just talking to you. 
 ....... .... Umm.... you want me to talk more about myself? I can barely give you news. I’m guess doing fine. It’s Spring and there’s a lot to take photographs of. Wait, of course you know that. Spring is your favourite time of the year, isn't it? I’m going to the National Park later: maybe I’ll have some leftover photos to give to you. Most of them go to paying for that new apartment though... Uh.... wait! Never mind! I promise I’ll get you some beautiful shots Eileen! I’ll save some especially for you. It’s not a trouble at all! Really! .... So, what else is going on with me? Well, I won that photography competition again and, ah! I met up with Frank on Wednesday: he said he’ll try find you when he finishes work tomorrow, so look out for him, okay? .... For most part, my life has been pretty uneventful lately. I guess that’s all I have to say. .... Ummm... Did you know I still dream about you? We would always be in a nice place, walking hand in hand: You, with your bright, evergreen eyes sparking and me being... me. I don’t know what we would do but I always remember seeing you, looking like a perfect goddess as you always did. Even when you were injured you were pretty... ....Hey, Eileen. You know, I didn’t just come to talk to you about my dreams and my life. I’ve got some things I need to say. Happy Birthday Eileen. Thank you for being there for me whenever I was down. Hahaha... you’d think it’d be the other way around but, no. You were more support for me then you can imagine and I want you to know that. I feel like saying a speech for your birthday but... well, what can I say about you? You’re just... perfect. You’re so perfect that you’re unreal at times. You are always so friendly and willing to help everyone. You are kind, generous, caring and supportive and... well... I’ve never met someone as selfless, strong and amazing as you are. As you were. Oh God. Eileen, I’m sorry. I promised that I wouldn’t do this, but I have. I know, for the sake of both of us, I shouldn’t be doing this but I have to now. I lied earlier. I’m not okay. I have something I need to tell you. I- I- I love you. I love you Eileen Amy Galvin. Oh God, I love you so much. You told me in the Water Prison to... to never give up. You said you wanted to see me smile. You said you wanted to get through this together. I know I should n-not be on my knees, in front of you crying but- but it’s hard for me Eileen. They all said it'd bring some closure to say your name but they think its not my fault. T-They don’t know the truth. I’m sorry that I couldn’t kill Walter fast enough to save you. I’m so sorry Eileen. I’m so sorry. .... I’m so sorry... ... I never wanted anything so bad but I’d give anything just to have the chance of doing everything over. I'd give up all the world to see your angelic face staring back at me. I’d face Walter again if I could have you back. I... I just want to hold you Eileen and just show you how strongly I feel for you! I never told you to your face on how much I loved you and you completed me. I maybe a photographer, but you helped me capture the beauty in living, even in the face of hell. You gave me so much strength and you didn’t even know it. I know I've gotta live with the choices I made but... Eileen... just knowing you’re gone just hurts so much. I can barely live with myself knowing th-that I could have saved you.  ..... .... It hurts Eileen. I hope you’re waiting for me in heaven, Eileen. I can’t wait to see your beautiful face again. If anything, that would be my reward for enduring for so long. Don’t worry, I’m not taking my life but I’m just... tired, alright? I’m really tired now. Can I just rest against your headstone? Just until I stop crying. .... Thank you Eileen. I’m sorry Eileen. I love you Eileen.

For a fanfic that I worked on and then I scrapped.

Basically it's Maria convincing Harry he's not real...

Yes... I do ship this very hard.

There are three things I know about you: You care for me. You healed me. You saved my life.

There are three things that I know about me: I trust you. I am thankful for you. I love you.

-Eileen Galvin

((Shippers gotta Ship. Henry/Eileen ftw ^^))

YAY! HUGS!

((Please ignore the overprotective, stalking, big sister. Walter means (mostly) no harm XD))

The Scarlets get all of the love.

((Fun fact: Alex was supposed to be in the picture paired with Doll and Scarlet but it was too hard to fit him.))

Shortstack: PLOT TWIST

Shortstack: ALEX DOESNT FIGHT MONSTERS

Shortstack: he just sits down in front of them with a guitar and sings to them very softly

Cuntsmasher: aw

Cuntsmasher: that sounds cute

Shortstack: Through the door Judge Holloway could faintly hear the words

Shortstack: "why cant we be friends why cant we be friends"

Shortstack: So alternate ending

Shortstack: Its Alex and all the bosses sitting in the treehouse

Shortstack: Singing to them

Shortstack: They are all happy

Shortstack: And then Scarlet bites off his head

Lemme call you Silent Hill.... 'cause things will really get freaky when I'm inside you.

I have no idea. Someone just shared it with me...

I'm sorry... XD

Why I ship Murphy/Heather

A short, crappy essay by Pikana Chuster AKA Scarlet Fitch mod.

Done by request

As a rabid fangirl, I’m inclined to ship. Some of you may know that I have a habit of shipping everyone with everyone else with no exceptions: most prevalent in the Super Smash Brothers, Pokemon and -more recently- the Silent Hill archives. However, despite my support of all pairings whether crack, canon, het, yaoi or yuri, I do show favoritism to certain shippings. One particular pairing I’ve invented is Murphy Pendleton / Cheryl “Heather” Mason from Silent Hill Downpour and Silent Hill 3 respectively. (For simplicity’s sake, I will refer to Cheryl as Heather for the rest of the article so we don’t get confused with Shattered memories Cheryl or Silent hill 1 Cheryl.) The pairings has received generally positive feedback on both tumblr and deviantart due to its creativity but is still more obscure then some of the more popular non-canon ships such as Murphy/Henry or Heather/Alex. Through hotness factor, adaptability and personality traits, I’m here to reason why I ship this as my Silent Hill crossover OTP (one true pairing) and hopefully bring a bit more popularity to it. Visually, a couple must be attractive for people to draw or video a pairing. It must be able to capture people and make them react either ‘OMGWTFBBQ?!’ or ‘Hey, this is cute/sexy/nice! The Murphy/Heather pairing can make you do both. This pairing can look insane simply because of the age difference. Regardless of if you’re tolerant of age-difference pairings (as well as taboo/pedophillia) or not, you can’t deny that there’s a big gap between the two. While Murphy hasn’t been officially aged, he has been placed to be between late twenties to late thirties. I’ve always assumed he was approximately ten years older then Henry Townshend, making him roughly thirty-eight. Heather is seventeen (physically) which could offset some people initially. Alternatively Heather can also be regarded as twenty-four (adding Cheryl’s seven years), thirty-one (adding Alessa’s fourteen years to Heather) or thirty-eight (adding both Alessa and Cheryl). Although visually this doesn’t change anything, it may be easier on the brain to think that Heather is potentially the same age as Murphy. You know... lessens the squick. Proportionately, if we use the heights given to us in a certain Silent Hill Downpour ending, Heather would be roughly a forehead shorter then Murphy. Some people like me enjoy couples without a massive height difference because it implies there is a power balance in the relationship (although that isn’t always the case.) Along with Alex, these two characters have my favourite designs. Heather is beautiful as she doesn’t scream sexuality like most female protagonists but is a clash of both masculine and feminine traits. In fact, she’s one of the most realistic video game designs I’ve seen, being a teenage girl with reasonable proportions and facial “imperfections” such as freckles. Murphy, too, isn’t a flawless model. Unlike previous characters in the series, he has a scar on his face and darker shadows and lines making him look older and more gritty- suitable for a person in his position. Since Heather is both visually and mentally mature, albeit a little hot-headed, she doesn’t look completely out of place when she stands near Murphy. Overall, I find that Murphy’s rugged/prisoner look goes well with Heather’s physical design. I just really like looking at this pairing- hence my fanart/photo manipulations. As fun as they are, in this essay, I will not go into AUs (Alternate universes) simply so I don’t waste too much time. That means I will show how well this couple can work in-canon Pre and post-game. In-universe crossovers can be tricker then complete crack or crossover pairings because you have to take into account timelines. Thankfully, Murphy hasn’t been given a distinct timeline which makes him very easy to slot in with Heather’s set universe. Adaptability of a duo means there’s more room for creativity and visualizing. A good part of any shipping is the diversity and trying new things with them: placing them in situations ranging from horrible to sweet to insanely awkward. For example, Heather was a criminal delinquent Pre-Silent Hill 3. Sometimes, in jubi, you are taken to real prisons in an attempt to scare you out of crime. Since in-game, we are never told why Heather turned away from crime, maybe she could have met Murphy in prison. For a post-game example, I can see Murphy moving to the same town as Heather (there are only three cities near Silent Hill: Brahms, Portland and Ashfield) and them getting to know each other someway or another. Like most Silent Hill protagonists, large portions of their backstories and post-stories haven’t been touched on. The flexibility of this couple makes it easily available to use and makes it fun to play with. Interesting enough, there is a possibility that Heather and Murphy have met in-game. For those who have gotten the ‘Surprise Ending’, you will have noticed that Heather is in the back cheering with the others. Although this meant to be a shout out to the upcoming HD collection, one could take it that Murphy has met Heather (and James, Mary, Laura and Pyramid Head) before due to him only being surprised at the fact that there was a party. However, as a joke ending, I don’t expect anyone to take this seriously. It’d be a good prompt though. Now, the most important bit, character personalities. There is no such thing as a compatible relationship as individuals react to others in different ways. For any relationship to work, people have to have some ground to bond over. A.K.A some similar traits. Both characters have very sad backstories (which always a plus for any shipper since angst is a very good way for characters to bond.) where each of them had ‘normal lives’ pre-Silent Hill before it was taken away from them. Heather is described as a “normal, carefree girl who loves to shop” and Murphy was a “happy family man” before the death of a loved one causing ruin of their respective families. In either my romantic or platonic head-canons, I always see the two flittering in between a father-daughter bond or a hurt/comfort romantic bond. Neither of them are ‘picture perfect’ characters too. Heather is an ex-smoker and delinquent while Murphy... he was in jail. That’s a record for any Silent Hill protagonist. However, what really made me first think of this couple was, of course, Silent Hill. Both of these two characters’ reasons for being in Silent Hill revolved around revenge. Both Murphy and Heather are good-natured in general but circumstances force them to become similar, hardened servants of vengeance. The difference is Heather was still seeking it out during her adventure and Murphy was paying the price for it during his. I have more head-canons that will come soon that plays on it. While both have the potential to make it on their own (I can still hear some of you tell me that Heather doesn’t need a man. I know, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want one), both of them hate to be in solitude as shown by Murphy’s resentment in jail and, while wishing to be on her own during the game, Heather’s dependency on her father. Of course, all couples need some dynamics. With Heather, we can either play with her sarcastic and humorous side, her feminine side or her nonchalant, low-tolerant BAMF status the fandom and I love to give her. On Murphy we could either show his hardened-criminal shell or good-natured and soft-spoken side as seen in game. Mix and match them how you like folks. You could portray the two in a father-daughter, sweet, tsundere or antagonistic relationship and still keep them in character. They fit that well together.

Individually and together, I think that these characters are great potentially, visually and mentally. I always wanted to spread my love of these two so... well... here's my chance. If I think of more things, I will add them. If you have questions or accusations, bring them up so I can address anything I’ve missed. Hopefully you all haven’t fallen asleep due to my over-analysis and can try ship this couple with me (or at least understand why I ship what I ship).

Thank you for reading and I bid you adieu!
