Anon also asked: damn. those strings look nasty. does spamton really need to lose his tic anyway? i understand him just fine. *sends jevil a whetstone for his shears*

Anon also asked: Red strings are usually associated with Kris’s soul. I’m a bit concerned about the implications there

Anon also asked: *Act, *Spamton, *Check? maybe we can at least figure out what those strings are exactly since it seems they won't break

S: THE STRINGS ARE HARMLESS. SEEMS LIKE [[3mm standard bungee cord]];

same anon lol. follow up from my previous ask (I started thinking about oz and the original team more):

augh. Thinking about laurent genuinely trying to connect with makoto and failing. Thinking about him watching abbie and cynthia connect with makoto effortlessly, and feeling left out. Thinking about him talking to oz about it, and realising that oz knows nothing about makoto at all. laurent getting angry, because even he knows makoto better, and suddenly feels responsible for him. imagining laurent blaming oz, blaming shi-won because they "made" him this way, even though by now he's responsible for his own actions. I'm imagining shi-won specifically calling him out on this, because she's been there the longest. how even though he suffered, at some point he has to accept that his decisions were his own. and that arguably, makoto was put through far, far worse things than he was.

laurent empathising with makoto more and more and starting to feel kind of angry on his behalf, but realising that by now there's very little he can do... he can resent the remaining members of the original team confidence all he wants, but they've been so good to him. they're old friends but they're also walking wounds. he can blame shi-won for teaching dorothy, for bringing him to dorothy. he can blame oz for giving him makoto to work with. he can blame them, but it's not going to change anything. shi-won at least stuck by his side, so she's easier to forgive. oz is harder to forgive, even if he gave up everything for dorothy, for laurent. laurent is splitting hairs here, because he still blames them less than he blames himself.

I think once laurent has this realisation, he doesn't really know what to do with himself. he still does cons and stuff because he probably feels like anything else would be boring, but I think he now kind of wants to shoot oz (not shi-won, because like I said, her sticking directly by his side all those years makes it easier for him to "forgive" her). he gives himself reasons to hurt oz in these cons because he doesn't know when to quit a bad habit when he's spiralling. oz notices, but he doesn’t say anything. he does whatever laurent asks of him, because he's right. I don't think oz feels bad for laurent, however (I think he just feels bad for makoto at this point, because he's already processed most of his grief and self-loathing regarding miki).

I think oz is the type of person to mask his loneliness. he probably cares about laurent the same way two people in a jail cell care about each other. he does whatever laurent asks of him almost like a peace offering, because he's used to just playing whatever role people ask of him without question. he probably doesn't know who he is anymore, and he probably doesn't care. he'll just follow whatever laurent says because the memories he made with team confidence stick to him like old wallpaper, and he can't bring himself to peel them off. he traded one life for another, and he lost both of them.

unlike them, I imagine shi-won already made peace with her demons long ago. there's a reason she told kudo to just let his daughter go. there's a reason why she didn't get an arc to herself. I don't think she feels bad that they're going through this, but she probably tries to distract them once in a while because the one-sided tension between them is annoying to deal with.

sorry I'm a little skdjsjajfj about them

as it is, it feels to me that oz just goes along with what others want most of the time. he isn't too different from makoto in that regard orz

op how does it feel like to be the sexiest person on earth

god god god I LOVEE your thoughts about laurent theyre so incredibly great I've never seen more correct hcs than yours

laurent and oz bonding over fucking up makotos life augohfj its sad but. But. sigh

laurent empathizing with makoto and somehow relating to him now bc he realizes he kinda been through the same shit as him. but like. makoto dealt with way worse so he cant really say anything so he lashes out at the og team instead orz 😭

oz doing everything laurent asks kf him the same way makoto does too now . im going insanw now.

thanks op sorry i dont have anything to say bht please know that i fucking love all ur thoughts about this thank you so much you have opened my eyes

apparently they can talk to you through kris’ pocket and offer useless commentary?? nice

I find it interesting how metamorphosis is less about the nature of gregor samsa's "horrific" transformation and more so about the social response to it and yet the transformation and the terror it elicits is what popular culture fixates on: in a sense we kind of assume the role of the outside characters in lamenting samsa's "loss of humanity" when the story is very much about how human he remains despite the people around him thinking otherwise

Don't you ever forget the Palestinian artists and poets in Gaza that were murdered by Israel. Dreams of opening art galleries and sharing poetry, years of endless practice and growing passion. They loved life and they loved art, despite being born under occupation and apartheid they were never going to give up what they loved. In fact, they resisted through it every moment of their lives.

The art teachers. The poets. The girl who wanted to become a theater star. The teenage boy who loved to draw his favorite characters. Not vague or faceless, not numbers, each one was a soul with memories and passion and dreams. Each soul was an entire universe extinguished.

the fact that meursault and ishmael have gotten teamed up in Two alternate universes now And they have a shared ego means something. I swear it means something, <- hanging on by a thread
