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)
do not inspect my favourite characters too closely, i swear it will tell you nothing about me. i pinky promise
Bill Cipher, βthe Book of Billβ:
"... I don't need anyone, I NEVER HAVE, and I DON'T MISS ANY OF THEM! I'M FINE!".
Fyodor Dostoevsky, βCharacter card letterβ:
βI'm always alone. And this is fine by me. Has been, and always will beβ.
Yes, they're both βfineβ. Only Bill screams into the void, and Fyodor becomes one.
So what do we have here? Two infinity-old almost-immortal demons, who destroy themselves just to prove they can be alone forever.
Spoiler alert: they can't. And they despise the vulnerability that's still left inside of them.
Well, at least Bill's in therapy. But he is also at the point of breaking. Fyodor is still holding on, I guess? But barely.
If you ever feel embarrassed, just remember that Dr. Veritas Ratio, a man with 8 doctorates and known for his no-nonsense attitude, unintentionally announced his situationship on intergalactic television.
the hint of regret on her face at the last second literally makes me so fucking sick studio investigraves has harmed me once more. im gonna kill myself

Does someone give them an allowance and he wasted all in that fkn ship, how does he survive? is he hitting every small planet like a late night fast food/convinience store hunt at 3 am? HOW is he conveniently on time to save someone in extreme situations like yknow INSIDE AN AEON'S STOMACH and FUCKING LIMBO being completely normal about it then skiddadle away to god knows where, btw your god is 100% DEAD (I think?) and I have no idea what the FUCK you are seeing in your hallucinations near death fucking adrenaline junkie what the fuck is wrong with him, he's insane he's suicidal and god he loves everything and everyone, he sees everything with such vibrant Pink filter that should've melted his eyes by now AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE LITERALLY APPEARED OUT OF FUCKIIIKNNGGG NOWHERE AND WENT HAHA HEY YOU BEAUTIFUL PEACOCK HOP IN and the back of the ship is a sticker that says only beautiful beings allowed which is, everyone, and aventurine was so fucking baffled at this like haha hey jade yea so um I was in limbo kinda and this category 6 florida man showed up out of nowhere in his ferrari while constantly flirting with me and suddenly I was in the hotel and now im talking to you BY THE WAY WITH WHAAHSHE IS UP WITH HIS VISIONS OF AN AEON HE SAYS IS SOOOOL BEAUTIFUL IT MIGHT BE IDRILA AND IM LIKE WELL, WITH HOW MUCH YOU LIKE ADRENALINE AND ALMOST DYING YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE SEEING NIHILITY BITHC GTE A GRIP
I am not normal about him
To me, the funniest thing about the idea of Tesla and Einstein being in Star Rail is the sheer difference between how Welt is seen in his own universe and how he's seen in Star Rail.
In hi3, literally no one thinks of him as this reasonable old man who knows everything. He's not a member of a group that befriends governments. He's a fucking terrorist. He's a little shit. He's a bad influence on Bronya despite being a good dad to mini Joyce.
Also, almost no one respects him. Everyone is constantly calling him pathetic and stupid. Even his own Himeko thinks that he's a pathetic dumbass. Tesla especially thinks that he's a pathetic dumbass, and is the single most vocal person about it.
And coincidentally, the only person from hi3 who DOES think of him as a wise, reasonable person is Void Archives themself. The only person who came to hsr with him.
If Tesla and Einstein were to show up in hsr, they're going to hear someone like Jing Yuan being all like "Mr. Yang is very wise and calm. We are proud that he has chosen to help us in the past" and Einstein would be like "wow, I thought he would be on your wanted list." And Tesla would be like "oh my god has my stupid dork finally gained social skills?!" And everyone else would be "...what???"
I feel like people aren't appreciating fyodor enough after the recent chapter. This guy has not only gaslit the characters, but us the audience for what? 15 volumes? He pulled the very same party trick he pulled on Ace, and we fell for it.
"People can be so simple, they truly think they are thinking for themselves. If they discover something themselves, they see value in that, and don't want to think they're being led by the nose"
This applies to us as well. We too made theories and connected the dots as to what fyodor's truth may be, and felt comforted when dazai came up with the same conclusion only for fyodor to be the one feeding us this false information with his magnificent performance. As much as it is frustrating, it's just as fascinating. To have the reader go back all those volumes ago and find out that the clues were there, yet still blatantly lie till the end is amazing. It makes me so sick and insane and I love it. Truly fyodoresque!
Whats funny about this is that Anon specifically said tarantulas
woukd you consider tarantulas Bugs
No, they are their own species. οΏΌ
Ppl jokingly saying "Light's the type of guy who reads porn mags for the articles" unaware of the fact this is literally just straight-up canon in the manga:
"I've come up with a theory. How is Fyodor so calm and smart constantly? How is he able to think of such crazy plans? Easy. He's high. Think about it for a second I promise I have my reasons for thinking this."
(OOC: headcanon Ivan smiles wider when he's in distressing/uncomfortable situations.
You're asking him things and you get to Fyodor and how the employees are treated. He's smiling wider- looking more deranged- and he laughs, it sounding almost forced, and he tells you Fyodor is one of the greatest people ever.
You doubt it.)
OOC: things I believe Lovecraft has had breakdowns over
Accidentally saying "thanks you" to a cashier
Not knowing what to call sizes at Starbucks and accidentally referring to them as 'large' and 'small'
Bumping his head on a doorway
Being bumped into and not knowing whether to apologize or not
Having to tell the cashier they forgot his ketchup
Having his order messed up horribly (he ate it anyway)
Accidentally giving someone in the Guild the wrong tool because he was having a breakdown and Β½ over what tool he needed to grab
Accidentally referring to a celebrity as another celebrity (the kpop stans destroyed his self confidence)
Not knowing a minor character's name in a movie (again the fans got em)
Accidentally knocking over something not breakable at a store
Etc :3
