I love the "came back wrong" trope but from the opposite side.
Imagine you are dead. And then you are RIPPED from the embrace of decay into the world of the living again. Your memories are hazy and you don't recognize any of these people, but they act like they're close to you? Like they love you? So you try to get your memories back, to act like you belong here, but everybody tries to forget you died. And you can't. It is omnipresent. And just trying to grapple with that fact pushes the people who "love" you away, and they're incapable of understanding, and they're so confused, what's wrong N̶̄̀O̶͛͗T̷̉́ ̷͋͝Y̴̎̌Ȍ̴̈U̸̓R NÄM̴̃͑E̵̾̇? And you just need them to understand, you aren't that person! You aren't! You don't know who that person is! You don't know why any of this is happening, but they're unwilling to bend, they keep insisting you are that person, your memories will come back, everything will be normal again, and you want to scream and cry and claw yourself open to show them you're different. Your existence as a being wholly separate from whoever you "used to be" is a sin unto itself. All you can do is scrabble for life and to them, you're killing whoever they loved to do it.
just. lots of fun in that concept, you know?
Something I made a couple of years back. Man, I love Gob.
Preston Garvey doesn’t get enough credit for his tragic backstory not centering on a dead wife. Dare to be different, king
the influence that cracked after hours had on my personality being this insufferable cannot be understated.
THE WAY THAT THIS IS SO ACCURATE 😌💅
looking back at ben finn’s backstory and all that, i’m totally convinced he must be a hero of skill. like idk him being proficient with guns from such a young age without any sort of training. it just kind of makes sense ?? and i know a big thing in fable 3 is like oh you’re the only hero alive but i just don’t buy it tbh. there must be other people who were born with the powers of heroes just out of nowhere. and ben finn really fits the bill honestly.
to me, he just screams ‘hero of skill’.
Have you guys seen that clip
Go off Kermit
when i have a crush i dont kick my feet or twirl my hair instead i am in my kitchen at 3am pacing in circles with my hands clasped behind my back like a middle-aged divorced detective haunted by a cold case he just cant crack
