I Think Cedric And Calamus Should Be Friends And Join The Club Of Teenagers With Way Too Much Weight

I think Cedric and Calamus should be friends and join the club of teenagers with way too much weight on their shoulders because holy shit they deserve good things.

I mean, one of those small details that I always felt were kind of sad was that line Cedric has about not knowing Calamus or Alula... which makes sense in a way, because it was the Author who knew them better. And yet both Cedric and Calamus feel close in age and have similar personalities I am genuinely surprised they weren't friends.

And now considering their circumstances... Both of them need to be the proactive sibling, ready to react to situations that are beyond what teens like them should be doing.

We... never get told what happened to Rachis, although context probably tells us he was one of the NPCs lost to the squares. But even if Calamus and Alula were not aware of that truth, they're both still functionally orphans, and Calamus has made it his responsibility to make sure Alula is okay because she is all he has left.

Cedric is one of the few people aware of being in a simulation, and this by itself is already really isolating. Cedric is also the one responsible for... pretty much ensuring that Niko made it to the city and fulfilled their mission, having to make up plans as he goes. Not to mention the knowledge that his father is gone for good now, and the grief that is tied to it.

And besides all of this, I just really think that these two are alike in personality. Both are really polite, hardworking and responsible. The only big differences are their sets of skills and that Cedric is more willing to take risks on the spot, while I feel like Calamus would be more cautious in his place.

But gosh they could be good friends.

I had a dream there was like Twitter discourse about women being plus sized and how people think fat girls are gross for some reason (they are not) and there was a really popular thread that was just this:

"If your girl doesn't gain 20 pounds for the winter at least she has no survival instincts"

"That's actually disgusting and fucking horrifying why the fuck would anyone want to gain 20 pounds that quick especially a woman that's fucking gross"

"I need my girl mammalmaxxing"

I've gotta ramble about The World Machine from OneShot or else I'll go MAD! Stupid obsessed rant about a fictional character below

As much as I miss Niko, I sort of miss The World Machine more. Niko's story is complete, they are home, safe, and sound, with their mother, eating pancakes, enjoying the wheat fields, etc. We don't see much of The World Machine after Solstice. We can replay OneShot, sure, using TWM's projected body of Niko as a puppet to play through a recording of our original journey over and over, but we never truly see The World Machine as they are, as their own person. What they have things they want to do with themselves now, their favorite and least favorite thing, if they want to be called by another name, even. Them, as a person, is never shown to us, the only glimpses being either their sassy and cold normal route depictions, or the one time we see them truly desperate, in Solstice. Do they love us, the Player? Do they harbor resentment towards us? Do they harbor resentment towards the Author for failing to notice either their growing sentience, and if he did know, do they resent the fact their task would be incredibly destructive to their mental state? (I know the Author didn't know, I was saying that from how TWM would probably look at it.) I wish that one day we get a look into their personhood, post-game. To see who they have become, how they feel about the World that they essentially are, or just if they've gotten any better than their initial realization at the end of Solstice, or if they're still in limbo, between hopelessness and the glimmer of hope given to them by Niko, and us. Are they content? Are they happy? I'd like to know one day.
