#{ I hope this is okay! I'm the worst when it comes to starters! }
Note
Hi! I'm on a sae brainrot lately it's gonna consume me and your fics are soo good😫 can I req a sae with reader in love with him despite being friends with rin, I just love the idea of rin being annoyed with the two of them giving each other heart eyes when reader comes over to their house, thank you sooo much!
think of this as an au where the itoshi brothers aren’t as insane and strained ur welcome ALSO ANON HELPP this idea is so funny
rin doesn’t consider himself as someone who has homicidal urges. on a good day, at least.
but you are making it harder and harder not to just strangle you and yell out strings of profanity whenever you sigh dreamily over his brother.
his big brother, of all people. rin knows that he and sae are pretty popular, but for his best friend to be head over heels for his brother when you should be immune to the itoshi bloodline is a bit absurd.
“it’s the best friend’s brother thing,” bachira said. rin has no idea what that means, but apparently, it’s when people go crazy over the best friend’s brother. rin hopes that none of sae’s friends are giving him the same googly eyes you do whenever sae passes by—that would be horrifying.
“he’s so handsome,” you explained to him when he asked why you are so obsessed with his brother in blood. “so—! just soo fucking—” and then rin asked you to not finish that sentence because he might have to damage his eardrums by hand if you continue.
that’s not even the worst part, no.
a normal person (like rin) would think that, okay, pining isn’t that bad. crushes are normal. my friend’s weird obsession with wanting to kiss my brother stupid is normal, maybe. but no. it’s not that easy. rin cannot just coax you to move on or force to imply anything in case sae hunts him down.
because his big brother, itoshi sae, is in love with you.
rin doesn’t know when— how it started. he just found out when you had to come up to rin to ask for something and left like a frightened deer, and sae, dead-inside, doesn’t-give-a-fuck-about-you sae, kept staring at you until you were out of sight. there was a smile on his face—a fond one, if that makes it any better.
(it does not. rin didn’t even know what to say at this point. his hands are itching.)
“that’s just a little brother thing,” shidou remarked once when rin lamented about his worrying urge to throttle you and sae simultaneously. rin understands that one, at least.
you have to come over today.
it’s not a big deal since you’ve come to his room to hang out before. it’s not always voluntary on rin’s part; you just appear out of nowhere, carrying pillows and about three blankets, materializing out of nowhere and onto his doorstep.
the difference is that his brother is back in japan, and you’re coming over today.
why is this a problem?
well, for starters: rin is not fond of seeing you make a fool of yourself and cry about it to him later on. he sleeps through it, usually, but you smack his head when you meet again, and he is afraid he might get brain damage soon.
second, rin only stays in his room, so it is where you follow. if the time comes you leave, sae will interrogate the hell out of him and give the coldest glares out of sheer jealousy. rin cannot be bothered to explain that no, he doesn’t like you that way, and sae is free to take you.
he doesn’t want to expose you like that, though. he is not that much of an asshole. as horrible and hilarious it is to watch you trip over yourself to see him, rin knows you genuinely like sae.
rin sees it in the way you smile helplessly whenever anyone mentions him, and rin can tell that it’s serious. you’re still his friend; he still cares about how this will work out for you.
“rin, i’m telling you,” you say, and in your excitement—or hysteria, really—you fail to notice that your voice is terribly loud. “shidou is out to get me. i have nightmares about him hunting me down because i beat him four times. he has a bat with nails on it.”
“let him win, then,” rin deadpans.
although it is his house, he’s the one trailing after you. mostly to make sure you don’t eat all the ice cream. again.
“i can’t lose to shidou, rin. that’s a stain on my resume.”
“then don’t dream about shidou with a bat with nails on it.”
“you’re the life of the party, itoshi.”
you yelp as you turn into a sharp corner on the way to his room. rin blinks at the sound and visibly deflates when he realizes who you’ve crashed into. he holds back a groan, knowing precisely what’s coming next.
cue: romantic guitar, doves flying, bells ringing.
“y/n,” sae says, holding you up by the shoulders.
“...sae,” you reply, belatedly. and then proceed to gape at him as if you forgot that he is rin’s brother and they live together for that reason.
“nii-chan,” rin says, too, because he really is not in the mood to witness this.
sae blinks up at rin. “where are you two going?”
rin hesitates. “my room.” you’re still steaming because sae is still holding you.
sae narrows his eyes.
“y-you can join us!” you blabber, refusing to meet sae’s eyes—which is horrible, really, because if you just took a single glance at sae, you’d see how his eyes softened impossibly.
“don’t say that.” rin scowls. he already has it rough having one lovesick freak in his room; he is not fit to handle two simultaneously, for each other, too.
“i’ll join,” sae decides instantly, staring right at you. rin wants to throw his hands in the air. “what did you say about shidou?”
thx for reading i had too much fun w this LMFAOOO

I prefer not to sound harsh, but Miraculous has become a fandom where I find more enjoyment in reading fanfics than watching the show. It feels like there's a lack of effort or an attempt to justify and rearrange elements, often ignoring past seasons and assuming the audience won't notice. The handling of Derision is a notable example, with more astute critics than me delving into their dissatisfaction and the evident retcons.
I didn't anticipate the show going to such lengths as portraying Gabriel as someone deserving of a statue, and it left a sour taste in my mouth to see the hero endorsing it. Adrien/ChatNoir's portrayal has become quite pitiful, with a peculiar shift where Ladybug takes on a significant role in the Agreste Saga despite her absence from that narrative. Ladybug, who isn't even part of the Agreste Saga, is the one delivering heartfelt moments. The decision to sideline Adrien and put him out of commission is disappointing. It's his story yet she the one who has to make it about her. She gets to shine along with a cool costume to boot.
There's a palpable bias from Astruc against Chloe, evident in the show's treatment of her character. Despite her being manipulated by Gabriel Agreste, the narrative blames her for becoming mayor, and the absurdity of the situation is magnified when everyone in the story goes along with it. The inclusion of a scene in Revolution where Chloe is crying is perplexing and frustrating, as it seems to perpetuate the negative and irredeemable image the show consistently paints of her. The added layer of her mother being horrid to her intensifies my annoyance, especially when sympathetic scenes are presented in a seemingly contradictory manner.
I mean you want her to be the worst but yet she has scenes like this? Why not go all the way wtf. Why give her depth only to take it away and then make her be so demonized in s5 and act like she was like this from the start. When she's been a joke
I hate to be critical, but seriously, it's hard to ignore how the Miraculous universe is just dripping with untapped potential. Five seasons in, and the movie outshines the show effortlessly. It makes you wonder about the writers' team and their approach—seems like they're just coasting on low effort for profit, and somehow, it's working, thanks to Miraculous inexplicable popularity.
The show's been beating the monster-of-the-week horse for five long seasons, lacking any creativity in crafting interesting villains. Gabriel, honestly, feels like a starter villain, and if they're going to make him the big bad, can we at least get some villains with a bit more pizzazz? You know craft creative interesting villains? KNDS, Original PPG, Totally Spies they got it so why not Miraculous. It's so damn tiring seeing the same old song and dance with Gabriel 24/7 monologuing to his wife and releasing the akuma I thought Mayura would be important but she's barely there.
It's not even an excuse kids do deserve better entertainment so why should Miraculous lower its standards. Marinette is very weird to me as the protagonist because her lovelife is more focused over everything I gauged her well enough to know about her that the rest of the secondary needs more of a spotlight to be cast on them. I like her but am I the only one who just skips when she starts the whining about Adrien and her plan to again get together it was cute at first now I fast forward to the more interesting part of the episode because it irks me i'm tired okay... what other facet of her character do the writers focus on besides her love life? I hope I don't appear to salt on her but Imma tag it just in case. I think she's in neutral treading to dislike because how can I come back from her gaslighting her boyfriends I'm sorry I can't.
You know what I'm afraid of that if Lila gonna be the next big bad they'll just recycle everything from Gabriel onto her. We'll have the same akumatizations same monster of the week formula only this time it's Lila.
I trust more in the fanfic community to come up with a better substantial plot than Miraculous could ever be. I know romance is a big part but the lore is so damn little it's season 5 are they ever going to expand more in the later seasons lol.
I'm tired from writing this long. Imma go to bed now.

Perspective's Sentence Starters; The Tortured Poets Department by Taylor Swift (Part IV)
I LOOK IN PEOPLE'S WINDOWS
I had died the tiniest death.
I spied the catch in your breath.
I'm afflicted by the not knowing.
I look in people's windows.
They have their friends over to drink nice wine.
I look in people's windows in case you're at their table.
What if your eyes looked up and met mine one more time?
I still ponder what it meant.
I triеd searching faces on streets.
What are the chances you'd be downtown?
Does it feel alright to not know me?
I'm addicted to the "if only".
I look in people's windows like I'm some deranged weirdo.
THE PROPHECY
It's gone again.
I got cursed like Eve got bitten.
Was it punishment?
I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope.
A greater woman wouldn't beg.
I've been on my knees.
Change the prophecy.
Don't want money, just someone who wants my company,
Let it once be me.
Who do I have to speak to about if they can redo the prophecy?
Still I dream of him.
I sound like an infant.
A greater woman stays cool.
I howl like a wolf at the moon.
I look unstable.
Gathered with a coven 'round a sorceress' table.
A greater woman has faith.
Even statues crumble if they're made to wait.
I'm so afraid I sealed my fate.
Spending my last coin so someone will tell me it'll be okay.
CASSANDRA
That's where I was when I got the call.
In the streets, there's a raging riot.
Burn the bitch.
When the truth comes out, it's quiet.
They killed *Name* first 'cause she feared the worst
They filled my cell with snakes.
Do you believe me now?
I was in my tower weaving nightmares.
What doesn't kill you makes you aware.
What happens if it becomes who you are?
They set my life in flames.
They knew the whole time that I was onto something.
The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line.
They all said nothing.
Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll.
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul.
You can mark my words that I said it first.
In the morning warning, no one heard.
That's where I was when I lost it all.
I was onto something.
Not a single word was heard.
PETER
My lost fearless leader.
Is it something I did?
The goddess of timing once found us beguiling.
She said she was trying.
Was she lying?
I didn't wanna come down.
I thought it was just goodbye for now.
You said you were gonna grow up.
Are you still a mind reader?
I've heard great things.
Life was always easier on you than it was on me.
Sometimes it gets me.
We both did the best we could do.
I didn't wanna hang around.
I won't confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn.
I hoped you'd return.
Tell me all that you'd learned.
Love's never lost when perspective is earned.
You said you'd come and get me.
The shelf life of those fantasies has expired.
Forgive me, *Name*, please know that I tried.
I tried to hold on to the days when you were mine.
The woman who sits by the window has turned out the light.
THE BOLTER
She almost drowned when she was six in frigid water.
I can confirm she made a curious child.
Reviled by everyone except her own father.
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless.
Excellent fun 'til you get to know her.
She runs like it's a race.
Her best mates laughed and they nicknamed her "The Bolter".
Oh, we must stop meeting like this.
It always ends up with a town car speeding out the drive one evening.
He'll call her a whore
As she was leaving, it felt like breathing.
All her fuckin' lives flashed before her eyes.
It feels like the time she fell through the ice, then came out alive.
He was a cad, wanted her bad.
She liked the way he tastes.
At first blush, this is fate.
What a charming Saturday.
She just knows she must bolt.
She's been many places with men of many faces.
Hearts are hers for the breakin'.
She's got the best stories.
As she was leaving, it felt like freedom.
ROBIN
Long may you reign.
You're an animal.
You are bloodthirsty
You have no idea.
All this showmanship to keep it for you in sweetness.
Way to go, tiger.
Long may you roar.
You're a just ruler.
You look ridiculous and you have no idea.
Buried down deep and out of your reach, the secret we all vowed to keep.
You got the dragonflies above your bed.
You have a favorite spot on the swing set.
You have no room in your dreams for regrets.
You have no idea.
The time will arrive for the cruel and the mean.
You'll learn to bounce back just like your trampoline.
But now we'll curtail your curiosity in sweetness.
THE MANUSCRIPT
Now and then she rereads the manuscript of the entire torrid affair.
I'm not a donor but I'd give you my heart if you needed it.
You're a professional.
No, just a good samaritan.
If the sex was half as good as the conversation was, soon they'd be pushin' strollers.
Soon it was over.
She wished she was thirty..
Couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's bed.
She dated boys who were her own age.
She was so wise beyond her years.
Everything had been above board.
The years passed like scenes of a show.
The Professor said to write what you know.
Lookin' backwards might be the only way to move forward.
The actors were hitting their marks.
The slow dance was alight with the sparks.
At last, she knew what the agony had been for.
The only thing that's left is the manuscript.
One last souvenir from my trip to your shores.
The story isn't mine anymore.

PRACTICAL MAGIC (1998) SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ She knew that when you hear the sound of the deathwatch beetle the man you love is doomed to die. ❜
❛ In this house, we have chocolate cake for breakfast. We never bother with silly things like bedtimes or brushing our teeth. ❜
❛ So when you find yourself the center of attention, It's not that they hate you. It's that, well...We're different. ❜
❛ Even you have to admit, any man who gets involved with an Owens woman.is bound to end up 6 feet under. ❜

❛ She's not saying they murdered him. Just that maybe they shook his hand and then he died. ❜
❛ If any man dared take on an Owens woman he'd live briefly in the euphoria of her love until meeting an untimely death. ❜
❛ Am I under some kind of surveillance? ❜
❛ Do you ever put your arms out and spin really fast? That's what love is like. It makes your heart race. It turns the world upside-down. But if you're not careful, if you don't keep your eyes on something still, you can lose your balance. ❜

❛ All my life, I've wished I had half your talent. You're wasting yourself! ❜
❛ What if I told you I did kill him? What would you do? Would you send me to jail for life all because the world was short a man like [name]? ❜
❛ Someday you'll explain this all to me. ❜
❛ You killed his spirit, but I took his life. ❜
❛ I'll tell you all you need to know. How I did it, where I buried him. ❜
❛ You're saying what I'm feeling is just one of your spells? ❜
❛ If you stay, I wouldn't know if it was because of the spell, and you wouldn't know if it was because I didn't want to go to prison. ❜
❛ You know, all relationships have problems. ❜
❛ Curses only have power when you believe in them. And I don't. ❜
❛ You know what? I wished for you too. ❜
❛ Oh, dear. It seems we've not arrived in the nick of time. ❜
❛ This is what comes from dabbling. You can't practice witchcraft while you look down your nose at it. ❜
❛ You know the stuff everyone whispers about me…the hexes, the spells? Well, here's the thing. I'm a witch! ❜
❛ There's a little witch in all of us. ❜
❛ He wants me. Just me. Everyone will be safe. Just let him take me. ❜
❛ Don't die on me, please. Because we're supposed to die together, remember? The same time. You promised me that. And this is not that day. ❜
❛ What wouldn't I do for the right guy? ❜
❛ Can love travel back in time and heal a broken heart? ❜
❛ There are some things I know for certain: Always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder. Keep rosemary by your garden gate. Plant lavender for luck. And fall in love whenever you can. ❜

Dating starters
"So, have you ever wondered what it would be like if we took our friendship to the next level?"
"What if we lose what we already have?"
"I went on a date last night. It was… interesting."
"I want all the juicy details."
"I've been thinking about giving online dating a try. Any advice?"
"Just be yourself and don't settle for anything less than what you deserve."
"I can't help but notice how they look at you. There's definitely something there."
"I never thought they saw me that way. What should I do?"
"I had the worst date of my life. They were rude, disrespectful… I'm just glad it's over."
"You deserve someone who treats you with respect."
"Do you ever get tired of the dating scene? It feels like a never-ending cycle."
"I believe the right person will come along when the time is right."
"I think I'm falling for someone, but they're already in a relationship. What do I do?"
"You seem different since you started dating them. Is everything okay?"
"I've been on a few dates recently, but I haven't felt a connection with anyone."
"Don't worry, the right person will come along when you least expect it."
"I can't believe they stood me up. It's so disrespectful."
"I've been thinking about asking them out, but I'm scared of rejection."
"I can't believe I let myself fall for them. They're just not right for me."
"I'm starting to think I'm not cut out for relationships. It's just too complicated."
"Don't give up hope. Love can be messy, but it's also worth all the ups and downs."
"You and I have been friends for so long. Do you ever wonder if there could be something more?"
"I worry it might ruin our friendship if it doesn't work out."

this week had been one of the worst ones he had in awhile, left in a state of unknown, when they'd just left. he wanted to give them their space, let them come back to him on their own time. but then the what ifs started to come; what if that was it, what if they'd never come back to him? what if they were hurt? as much as he wanted to push those thoughts away, he couldn't. and so, he finally decided to reach out.
[ sms - idiot ❤️ ]: hey.
[ sms - idiot ❤️ ]: i haven't heard from you since you left, and i wanted to give you space but... i'm worried about you.
[ sms - idiot ❤️ ]: i hope you're doing okay.
[ sms - idiot ❤️ ]: if you're ready to talk, let me know. and if you aren't, that's okay too.
after the texts were sent, he tried to put them in the back of his mind. they would get back to him if they truly wanted to, and all he could do was hope that they did want to talk.
@byanyan gets a plotted starter.
#byanyan#// rubs my lil hands together#// also i'm sorry their name in every one of my muse's phones is slightly mean :')#// this one is affectionate though#( in character. )

New Apple
(Also Known as: Nott Broke, I am now writing the WKTD-Amane Cross Analysis. This is also the Trans Amane Momose Thesis)
(CWs: Cults, Child Abuse, Child Death, Body Horror, Homophobia, Transphobia.)
(Spoilers for We Know The Devil and Milgram.)
I am a unrepentant fan of the Visual Novel We Know The Devil. I love it dearly, I think it's one of the best Things ever made.
I am also a...fan, to say the least, of Amane Momose. I think about her every day. And as a result I've thought about these two things together a lot. I think there's a lot of thematically cohesion that can be derived from putting the two together.
Since this is Milgram Focused, I'm going to put an explanation for what the plot of WKTD is first before continuing.
WKTD is a 2015 VN about Three Bad Kids at a Christian Summer Camp who are sent to meet The Devil one day in a cabin in the woods. This game is about Queer Religious Horror and has great prose and you should play it-
Now, there are already comparisons that can be drawn to Amane's cult and the game's main premise, but let's discuss each of the three kids first.
No Prince For The Princesses
Starting with Jupiter. Jupiter is the tomboyish good kid of the bunch or, more accurately, tries her best to be the good kid to minimal success.
Laughing off a head injury isn't all that Jupiter's good at; she has the best grades in class, and coaches make her starter on whatever team has the most pressing need for someone who can do sports.
She's a perfect role model, except for how she always misses the winning goal and she always blanks on the last question. She leads when no one else wants to, which is always.
Jupiter can keep up until right when it matters the most. It's here where I mention Jupiter snaps a hairband against her wrist, a common tactic used as an alternative to self-harm.
Her place in the dysfunctional group of problem kids becoming clear as her issues with being the perfect good kid and her immense self-hate and loathing start to seep through. Jupiter struggles under this weight of expectations and pleasing others but tries to pretend she an:
Neptune: ascetic monk at not giving a shit.
To her own detriment, she hangs out with the Worst Group in the Camp of Worst Kids just so she can get them to stay away from her. If they just like her enough then they won't bother her. Even if she personally dislikes them and how they act.
Not that she...enjoys acting like this. She's disgusted by the idea of the Counselor liking her. Because:
Jupiter: He likes people he can make a little uncomfortable and won't give any trouble about it.
Though as Venus says, that's exactly why he likes their group.
Jupiter is someone who's resigned to reality being like this. To being considered a bad kid even though she tried so hard. Sure it's unfair and people have tried a lot less than her but:
Jupiter: You can still get better at this, if you try, you know?
Even I can say "I'm sorry"
Even I have hope
I swear! I'm going to be a good girl now! That's it!
Anyway, Jupiter Kisses Girls. She Likes Women. She's a Lesbian. She has a Seven Minutes in Heaven Scene with Neptune where they Kiss-
That kiss having a lot of relevance to how (specifically) a t1 Amane attempts to approach certain taboo ideas and concepts.
Jupiter: It's not real if we don't say it out loud, right?
Amane tends to talk around things in T1. It's not immediately noticeable but it's prevalent in a lot of her speak. Specifically when taboo ideas come into play. Instead of saying anything directly she talks around it.
(Apostle and Death)
Amane: Okay! I’m kind, so I shall forgive you. That’s nice, isn’t it? If my parents were in my place, you would have been lectured for another hour.
This is my favorite example, as Amane is just calling her parents unkind here. But, Amane isn't really good at talking around things. In the same VD, when faced with the knoweldge that she's being underestimated she immdieatly talks about her genuine feelings about being treated like a child, and being talked down to because of it. Being very forward and open about her own emotions.
Outside of that we have instances of her showing interest in things that are believed to be taboo, or at least in things discouraged by her community.
(20/06/27, Amane’s Birthday)
Amane: I don’t need it.
I’ll gratefully accept your well-wishes, but I don’t eat things like that.
Also…… Shidou-san, I can’t say I’m especially fond of the way you assume that all children will love frivolous things like this.
Shidou: …………
Is that so… I apologise.
I’m sure everyone else will be happy to eat it, so don’t worry about it.
Sorry for intruding.
Amane: …………
……cake……
She even disrespects the blue flag in Purge March, the flag representing "discarding vulgarity"
Considering both how a lot of the generally aesthetics of Magic and Purge March seem to be considered frivolous. And her being forbidden to go to an amusement park.
T1Q5:When you go to an amusement park, what do you like to ride? A: That is a place I should not go to.
I think we can infer that these things are consider vulgar and wanting them anyway. She wants something outside of what she has. Something that she tries to Hide in her interrogations.
(Interrogations)
T1Q3: If you were allowed to do anything, what would you want to do?
Nothing really.
I am not lacking anything.
T1Q17: What would you do if the world ends tomorrow?
If everything ends?
Then, I might do all sorts of things
I have never done before.
(Put a pin in these interros, we are Going to come back to them.)
It's wrong to want such a thing, she knows this well. That's why she doesn't say it out loud. It's not real until she does. No one can punish her for it if she doesn't say anything.
Except...they Do. Same with Jupiter, people who didn't try as hard to get into the "proper, good girl" summer scouts got in when Jupiter didn't. Amane studies so hard and yet she only gets a 83% when Kotoko is tutoring her.
(20/06/18)
Kotoko: There, I’ve finished marking. 83%.
How do I put it… Even though you act like this, it’s not like you’re super brilliant at studying or anything, huh.
She just blanks at the last question.
Misses the winning goal.
Something about Her is...inherently holding them back from this illustrious standard of being a good girl. It's just, impossible for her to be one. She knows this herself.
Only if, only if, only if I could be a good girl
And even though she tries, she Can't do anything to change that. In the same way that no matter how hard Jupiter tries, people instinctively understand that she's something Other somehow. The both of them being harmed over and over again in an attempt to live up to ideals that they will...never be able to live up to.
The system of We Know The Devil works like this, you choose two kids and leave one behind each hour. Leave one behind enough and they become the devil. The worst kid out of all of them.
Jupiter does her best but her best is never going to be enough. So if she gets excluded enough times...
Even the best kid has the devil inside her.
Jupiter wants to touch, to hit, to pull.
Venus: I wish I could be meaner. I wish I could be so much meaner.
She's never going to be able to make up for this incessant greedy Want.
Her hairband snaps here, she can't keep the devil away for much longer, and she knows it.
Jupiter: You know, I actually liked when the captain talked about how heaven was on merit; as long as you do good things, maybe you can one day be good…
Jupiter: But then they said we don’t believe that anymore and it’s only what’s in your heart that matters.
Jupiter: Just when I think I got it right, they changed it.
Jupiter: I can try hard, but I think…
Jupiter: God knows my heart isn’t really in it. And that was my only shot, right?
Amane considers love a showcase of mercy,
T2Q9: What does love mean to you?
A: To spread mercy with no limits.
And considers her punishments love.
T2Q2: Do you believe you were loved?
A: Very much deeply.
I suppose when you think about it, trying to beat the devil out of someone is mercy.
But, you can't really do anything about it if someone does want the devil.
Jupiter: It's wrong to want such a thing, you know that, don't you? So don't do it. I still know that much.
In each color ending, the devil gets destroyed. The devil only getting one moment for whatever they wanted.
For revenge, for love, for "please take me back."
One Singular Moment to live as they are before having it burnt out of them.
...Someone had to have opened that door at the end of Purge March
(Milgram T1 Glitched Character Voicelines)
Amane: Ahh! I'm so sorry...! I'm sorry...! I'm sorry for breaking the rules!
Lukewarm, I Spit You Out
We have more bad kids to go through, so let's talk Neptune.
Neptune is, to be blunt, a self-proclaimed bitch. She doesn't act like she's supposed to belong her which is exactly why she belongs here. She uses profanities, sneaks alcohol into the camp, and the summary of this game calls her a mean girl.
Though this meanness of hers betrays a certain amount of care and worry for her group, or, at least they like to think of it that way:
Neptune is very kind or possibly super mean and hates us. But that's okay. She's really funny.
This kindness of hers comes out in many ways. She's concerned for Jupiter, trying to get her to actually give a shit about herself, especially when she does so much work.
Neptune: I mean like, aren't you doing fine?
Neptune: Aren't you trying harder than literally everyone else here?
Neptune: You're so chill about everyone's bullshit it makes me so mad and then you won't extend even the slightest of that chill to yourself and that makes me EVEN SO MADDER.
Neptune: Can't you just be a little less…good?
And wants Venus to get out of his egg, to let himself be a bit of a bitch, and stop apologizing for himself when he is doing nothing wrong.
Neptune: Wait, I got it. I dare you to not say sorry for the rest of the night.
Jupiter: Oh my god.
Venus: I can do that!
Jupiter: …can he though?
Neptune: No it's perfect.
Neptune: It'll fix something annoying, and this will make everyone's life easier, and all of us win.
Venus: Is it really annoying?
Neptune: You shouldn't have to apologize for things you don't need to apologize for.
Neptune deeply cares about the people around her, it just comes out as harsh words and actions. She wants to make Jupiter's life a living hell so that she's forced to say that it hurts.
Neptune: People are supposed to get hurt by things. It's fucked up to not. It's not good for you.
Though, as Venus calls out, the way Neptune acts doesn't fully come from self-confidence.
Venus: ...your problem Neptune is.
Venus: You think being mean is more honest.
Venus: But you're just as bad as Jupiter.
Venus: And me.
Neptune, like the other two, deeply hates herself. Like Jupiter she has a consistent "tell" that shows she's the devil. She throws up this black ichor-like substance. Poison really. The only thing she can say. She's a bad kid through and through.
Now, Amane is self-proclaimed annoying.
Es: Regardless of whether you’re a child or an adult… you are beyond annoying.
Amane: Oh, my. I am honored by your praise.
Es: As I said.
Amane: (giggles)
She takes Real Pride in being, a little shit to people.
20/06/03
Fuuta: ……huh? What’s your problem?
You’re just leaving all your meat? What a weird kid.
Amane: You say that, but you’re not eating all of your food either.
……are you not able to eat your vegetables?
Even though you’re an adult.
Fuuta: Huh, what, so you’re just eating grass? What are you, a rabbit or something?
Since you’re just a brat, you should be eating your meat properly.
You won’t grow if you don’t.
Amane: ……you make some really funny jokes, don’t you, Fuuta-san.
This behavior is mostly present in T1, mostly cause T1 is Amane's testing period. She's trying to see what she can get away with. These behaviors disappearing by T2 because she learns that she can't get away with much. Introducing us to a less playful, more angry and genuinely despairing Amane.
(Of Blessedness and Punishment)
Amane: This is unforgivable! I won’t forgive you! (screams)
That isn't to say Amane doesn't genuinely want to help out though, even with her more aggressive attitude. In fact she goes out of her way to "help" Fuuta and responds to Yuno's questions and worries honestly and patiently.
(23/06/27, Amane’s Birthday)
Yuno: By the way, Amane.
Have you ever wished you were never born?
I’ve thankfully lived a pretty fun life so far, so haven’t really. But you seem to be struggling with something.
So I kinda wondered if you thought like that.
Amane: ……I don’t think that.
Being born into this world is the first miracle any person experiences, and is something to celebrate.
Even if after birth I was put through trial after trial, the value of that will never disappear.
Amane is kind, genuinely so. She helps the cat, she tries her best to "guide" people back to the better path. The problem is, is that her want to help gets tied up in her community and her worldview. Causing more harm than she would like, it's almost like she can only spit out doctrine when that isn't the case.
Amane: Hm. Is that so? Are the prisoners who weren’t forgiven feeling lost right now? Maybe they need our faith as well.
Outside of that, Amane is rather opinionated, she tries to keep it down but it seeps out anyway. She's expressed numerous times her frustration with being treated like a child (ie: being treated like she has no rights of her own.) And expresses that openly and bluntly.
(20/06/13)
Shidou: I…… I just don’t understand.
If everything about MILGRAM is true…… why did a child like you have to become a murderer? Just imagining what sort of circumstances must have led to that, it makes me so sad……
Amane: ……*sigh*. Is that right.
I don’t think I’m going to get along with you, Shidou-san.I don’t agree with the fact you refuse to acknowledge that I have my own free will, and that I should be held accountable for my actions, just because I’m a child. I may have only been alive for 12 years, but all the choices I’ve made, even if they weren’t the best ones, were entirely my own.
What point is there in you getting sad when I have no regrets myself?
It's easy to call her annoying or petulant for this, especially when Shidou (seemingly) is just concerned for how how a child is in prison of murders. And again she Does act annoying on purpose.
But Shidou is being actively patronizing and forcing his view of Amane Onto her. When Amane rebukes this, instead of apologizing or reevaluating he dismisses what she says. Something that deeply frustrates her.
Neptune: I'm an evil bad slut right? I'm a bitch and a flirt.
Neptune: I'm a bitch because I let people know when they walk over me.
Neptune: I'm a flirt because boys keep talking at me.
Neptune: And this is somehow my problem, because they can't get over themselves and leave me alone?
Neptune: How is that fair? Why should I get hurt by that? It makes me so mad!
Neptune: Why would I be anything but MAD about all this stupid obnoxious BULLSHIT.
You’re sorry? I don’t care! Please, go ahead and die already
Remember MY cries, MY repents, MY words of “I’m sorry” that I said to you?
Amane cares a lot about being treated Properly, about the people around her being treated Properly. She can't really...accept injustice. She broke one of her cult's doctrines because she wanted wrap up what was probably a Small Wound at worst judging by the state of the cat. She's not going to waver just because the people around her believe otherwise.
Amane: ……I’m fine.
I don’t know what you’ve done or what it is you’re worried about, but I think if there’s something you believe in, you should stay true to it.
It’s not something that should waver just because other people said something.
I personally don’t plan on changing my own beliefs even if I’m told I’m wrong either……
Amane believes in the idea that people can get better, and wants to see people get better even if she can't. She's going to help even if she has to be Violent to do so.
Neptune: You asked me to come out. So I'm coming out.
The door opens and it's her but it's not her
She grabs Venus and crushes him against the wall like he's a little doll.
Amane: Don’t you think it’s a good opportunity to be reborn?
If, right now, you could shake off those around you trying to drag you down to depravity, and could change––
When Neptune's the devil she forcibly tries to turn the other two kids into the devil alongside with her. She knows this whole situation is a nightmare and wants to force the two into accepting who they really are, even if it meant hurting them.
Why should they be the ones to suffer when their trying so hard to be good? Why should they be suffering when they already ARE good?
Neptune: Doesn't it feel unfair? You're already good, so why do you have to try so hard to be good? It makes me mad. They want you to prove you're good. But you're already so good. What is that? Why do they do that?
We must not give into them, they are the ones that should be judged
Why does She need to prove that she's righteous when the people around her can break the same rules she does and get away with no consequences?
I don’t need it any more, if you’re going to break your vow
Here and now, it’s my turn to tear you apart
It's just so Unfair. Why is she the one getting hurt for no good reason? Why was the cat the one who got hurt for something that wasn't even its fault? It's just not right. None of this is right.
Neptune: Does that kid look happy to you? Well I guess we have different opinions and you will have to stop me from making him into what he is trying very hard not to be.
Help Me God, I'm In Love
We have one more kid to go through.
Venus is known for being very much a doormat, and very easy to push around. A small detail when their sitting down to listen to the Bonfire Captain's story is that Venus tries his best not to take up space.
Venus sits with his legs crossed, taking up as little space as he can, which is at most not very much.
And As mentioned before he constantly apologizes for himself, even when it isn't even his fault. That dare Neptune gives him? He immdieatly fails it, the sorry is an instinct, he does it automatically.
Though even then, Venus is known to be...a bit of a little shit. Maybe even quite Mean. He has a bite to his words and can be extremely judgemental. Not that he seems to notice .
Jupiter: Do you think he notices how much of a jerk he is sometimes?
Neptune: I wish.
Amane: An arts university, though…… Does that mean you’re good at drawing, then?
It may be a bit rude to say, but that’s rather unexpected.
(I Love how Amane implies that she thought Mikoto was too boring to be an artist. Incredible.)
Not only that but he's strongly opinionated, often surprising the people around him with them and how pointed and critical he can be. The people around him being so used to how shy and docile he seems.
Jupiter: Why not you. You're safe. You're like a puppy. You're harmless.
Venus: …did you lose your nerve?
Jupiter: Except when you talk.
He doesn't mean to be mean on purpose, he doesn't even like being mean, but it just comes out of him. He can't stop himself. He's so angry and bitter about certain things that his real feelings bleed out of him.
Neptune: Wow Venus I'm ALMOST impressed.
Neptune: You are, deep down, kind of a little shit.
Venus: I didn't mean it in a mean way. I wasn't teasing.
Neptune: That's so much worse, Venus.
Venus: I guess I just don't get it?
Venus: I don't like being mean and I don't want to be mean so I try really hard not to be mean.
Venus: I don't get any of the 'just kidding' because it's not just kidding.
But Venus is easy to pick on, he smiles weirdly, he tries his best to avoid causing too much conflict, and the idea that Venus is "not like the other boys" get floated around pretty early depending on what interactions you chose, and Jupiter and Neptune discuss this their 10AM interaction:
Neptune: Are you seriously worried about him?
Jupiter: Maybe. A little.
Jupiter: He's weird. Not in a bad way, necessarily?
Jupiter: But maybe in a bad way, possibly.
Jupiter: Sometimes I don't even know what he is.
Jackalope: That isn’t even really Amane Momose anymore. You’ve awakened something much bigger.
There's something....different about Venus, like Jupiter and Neptune before him. Everyone can tell, and thus treats him differently for it but he's just not exactly sure what that...Is.
And it's so Frustrating.
Venus: …I don't know what's wrong with me.
Venus: But I can't. Not when it comes to this.
Jupiter: What is "this"?
Venus: Whatever they want out of me that's not fixing radios.
Venus: To be tougher? To grow up? To-what's that?
He's jealous, so deeply jealous of Jupiter and Neptune and he doesn't even know why.
Venus: I'm mad about a lot of things I guess.
Jupiter: Liar
Jupiter: You're not mad.
Jupiter: You're jealous.
Jupiter: Why are you so jealous.
Jupiter: It's flattering. But it's weird.
Venus: I don't know.
Muu: ……hey, are you listening to me? What are you staring at……?
Amane: I’m not staring at anything.
Muu: Liar, you definitely are……
Amane: ……cake……
He wants...something from them, he doesn't know what but it's something important to him. Something that would make him feel like he's himself and not...whatever he is. It's not even like he necessarily minds being different. He doesn't even think he can be anything else.
Venus: I know I'm bad at getting anyone to like me and I'm weird and everyone else can deal even though I can't, but I can't.
Venus: I'm just going to be like this. I'm not going to be any different.
Jupiter: You're asking to get beat up.
Venus: I don't care.
T2Q20: How do you feel about you not being like everyone else?
A: Nevertheless I was born as myself,
so I'm happy.
This deep want appears in Everything he does. Everything he does is to somehow get that Thing he Wants the Most. He can attribute it to something else but everyone can tell he wants Something.
Neptune: Venus, your problem is that you are very nice. But you want something. And you think being nice is going to give it to you. But it never will. And until you figure out what it is you want. Every kindness of yours will be full of that want.
Amane: Ah, I am looking forward to it! Seeing whether your judgement will align with that of these higher standards! If that is the case, maybe Milgram would be the right world for us to live in, rather than the outside world!
Milgram relies on your judgement, isn’t that right? In that case, you could become the mediator for a far more righteous world!!
That isn't to say he Isn't afraid of being found out. Of having the kind of person he is being revealed. In a game of truth or dare he chooses dare because:
Venus: I mean, it's kinda like Jupiter said? Truth is embarrassing and dares could get you hurt. Getting hurt is way less scary.
But then the contradiction of this gets pointed out to him, people can be embarrassing with dares as well. It's easy to hurt and embarrass someone.
I've already mentioned that Amane hides...a lot, she tends to talk around things and use double meanings and what not. But she also doesn't want to seem frivolous or wasteful. She wants to stay seeming mature and smart and pure. Being immature is dangerous to her, another reason for people to view her as useless and weak. Another reason to get hurt.
She isn't that. She can prove it. She's not greedy or materialistic.
Venus: I don't want to be strong. I don't want to be that sort of person at all.
She doesn't want anything.
Venus: I want them within me and without me. All through and about me. I want feathers in my lungs and eyes on my skin. I want my heart to see and my lungs to fly.
Nothing at all.
T1Q17: What would you do if the world ends tomorrow?
If everything ends?
Then, I might do all sorts of things
I have never done before.
This is when I reveal Venus is Trans.
Venus is Trans! She uses She/Her, I've been using He/Him for her previously to reveal she's trans like how the VN reveals she's trans.
Venus wants to reveal the truth, to be seen as she is, to have:
That wing to see the truth and that eye to lay it bare.
She wants to be honest and live as herself. To really Be Her. When she becomes the devil she says it's nobody's fault but hers. She wants this. She wants this so much.
She's not doing it cause she was forced or coerced she did it cause she Wanted To. She wanted to do it so badly. She does it with such glee it's honestly terrifying. She killed out of hate and duty and Enjoyed It.
The devil is lonely. We kicked out the devil and it must miss us. It keeps begging to be let back, to let it in.
And Amane Did.
Smoke and Honey
Amane Momose is undeniably monster-coded.
Jackalope: That isn’t even really Amane Momose anymore. You’ve awakened something much bigger.
Amane: Right now, I am both Amane Momose and I am not. I am speaking on behalf of our faith.
Amane: Yes. It is only natural for a person(/human) to apologize to another for breaking a promise.
Es: …
Amane: Why are you looking so doubtful? Are you not human?
This happy pinky promise hurts to break
There's so much to discuss that if I did do it in detail we would get so set off track very badly, but Amane Momose is Other. She's the Other, she's not human. She's never Been Human. Atleast not by the standards of her cult.
In the Milgram Cat Symbolism, Cats has been highly associated with sin. Yuno portrays her cat self as the most honest but also sinful version of herself. Kazui does the same. Amane being the cat, implicates her as a sinful force in the world. Something dangerous and terrifying that needs to be destroyed.
Amane Momose, somehow, is a threat to normal human existence (at least in the existence of the cult.) She's too opinionated, too dedicated, too Bad of a kid. Having her exist at all as she is, is a threat. She doesn't Want to stop being herself, she's supposed to want to stop. Humans aren't supposed to act like she acts. What if that stubbornness was directed at something against the cult?
Adults also hate perfect kids who love the world so much they can't stop themselves from saving it.
We Need to Destory The Devil No Matter What or Who it is. To choose someone to act as the scapegoat, the worst girl, the one kid too weird, too strange, too threatening.
What does Amane do? She's already a liability, just a child, useless and unhelpful. What if she was destructive? Better to teach her now to be better, right?
It's not like she isn't destructive, it's true. She does harm. Horrible harm actually. I completely understand wanting to restrain her for those reasons.
But, she had One Moment, and it was ripped away from her.
Jupiter: If I taste what it's like, I know, there's no way I'll be happy being human ever again.
I Wonder what else is left for her now.

{ 73 }
the world's smallest violin.
vincent fabron (CHAMBER) x reader
this whole week had to be one of the worst ones of your life.
for starters, on monday you woke up late and got scolded by your boss for your lack of punctuality.
tuesday, you felt the need to dress in your favorite outfit just to feel good about yourself, only for it to be ruined when it began to rain later that afternoon (and of course, you had forgotten to bring an umbrella.)
wednesday you decided to go out drinking with your friends to cheer up and have some fun, only to end up catching a sore throat when the burning sensation refused to go away even after you had stopped taking the various shots at your favorite bar.
cue you having a cold for the rest of the week and calling out sick from work, finally using up the sick days you had accumulated from your job. your throat still burned, making it difficult for you to even eat meals. all you could do was drink some broth and down copious amounts of cold medicine in hopes of relieving your symptoms for even a moment.
it was now sunday, and you had finally gotten over your cold. your throat finally stopped hurting as your voice steadily lost its nasally quality. currently, you were laying in bed, scrolling through your phone while trying not to feel like absolute crap due to how bad your week was. you finish typing out an email to your boss, telling him that you would make it to your shift tomorrow before tossing your phone to the side.
while you were suffering through such a terrible week, your boyfriend of two years was nowhere to be found. and despite how you had already known that he would be on a rather long mission with protocol, his absence still greatly upset you. the things you dealt with this week left you so mentally drained-
"i've seen so many horrors back in my days with working for the french military, mon ange. horrors that i am grateful that you shall never have to go through."
that particular memory of vincent detailing his past life to you makes you curl up even more. you force the tears that once spilled from your eyes to stop, feeling almost silly for crying over something so tiny in comparison to all the things your lover has been through.
with a sigh, you slowly wipe away at your eyes, feeling them become red and swollen from crying.
i must be playing the worlds smallest violin right now. honestly, get a grip.
you were debating whether you should calm down and further comfort yourself with some hot cocoa when your phone begins to ring, alerting you to a call from vincent himself.
you answer it within seconds, your voice breathless when you say his name with a bit of longing, "vincent, honey, hello. i've missed you."
his rich laughter fills your ears, making your cheeks warm just the tiniest bit. "i've missed you, too, mon amour. i just couldn't wait to hear your voice, and i wanted to let you know that i'm on my way home with your favorite takeout."
the tears began to fill your vision once more, causing your voice to come out a bit shaky, "that's great! vince i've had-"
you cut yourself off, biting down on your bottom lip so as to keep yourself from ranting about your bad week to him. vincent catches the way you had suddenly stopped speaking and asks, "what's wrong, love?"
"ah, it's nothing. please come home safely, okay?" not wanting to cave in, you hang up the call first, heart pounding as your stomach began to twist with anxiety.
there was no way vincent was going to come home and not ask you what was wrong. but truly, you didn't want to burden him with such problems you deemed as tiny inconveniences.
about fifteen minutes later, you see your boyfriend enter your shared home with a huge bag of takeout. he settled the food on the dining room table before bringing you into his arms and pressing a kiss against your temple.
"my, have i missed you. is it me, or have you gotten even lovelier since i had last seen you?"
you roll your eyes and playfully hit at his chest, "don't be ridiculous. i'm dressed in my pajamas and look awful."
"nonsense, mon amour, for you are always beautiful to me." pressing one last kiss against your lips, vincent goes to plate your dinner. when you tried to help, he simply shoos you away, beckoning you to sit as he tells you how much he wants to spoil you due to his absence.
you take a seat and watch with a fondness when he piles on all of your favorite foods, making a heaping plate for you as he places the delicious meal in front of you. with your mouth watering and your appetite returning post-cold, you dig in almost immediately.
"ah, this is so good, i'm so happy to be able to taste things again!"
"to taste again? were you sick?"
vincent's question makes you pause, forcing you to swallow the last bit of food before your anxiety returned. you really didn't want to bother your beloved with stories of your shitty week, knowing he was doing something far more dangerous during his latest mission.
"y-yeah, it was just a cold, but i'm okay now, i promise!" just seeing the concern in his golden brown eyes makes the tears and all of your sadness return at full force. "e-excuse me!"
knowing that vincent was going to chase after you, you run into the bathroom first before locking it. with your back pressed against the door, you begin to softly sob, those negative emotions that built up during the week finally coming to an overflow. you could no longer stop your tears, and when you heard vincent gently knock against the bathroom door, asking if you were okay, did you truly break down.
the sheer amount of tears blurred your vision, and you could feel the buildup of mucus within your nose. fuck, you were actually ugly crying right now and came back to feeling like absolute shit.
"darling, angel, love, please, talk to me. what's wrong?"
his voice was close, and you were certain that vincent was pressing himself against the bathroom door.
with a sniffle, you finally admit to him, "i don't want to tell you."
"well, why not? i want you to tell me because whatever it is, it's making you cry."
you let out another choked sob, "i had a bad week, but they're not big enough to warrant your concern, vince. go on, have dinner without me for a bit, just let me let this all out and i'll be okay again, i promise."
the silence seemed to drag on for what felt like eternity. you figured vincent had taken your advice and already made his way back to the dining room. letting out a sigh of relief, you quickly clean yourself by blowing your nose with some toilet paper and washing your face. when you began to feel somewhat more presentable was the moment you opened the door-
only to be met with a broad chest standing in your way.
"never feel as though your problems are insignificant, mon amour. for if they make you this sad, then it is not insignificant to me." vincent had managed to trap you in his arms, engulfing your form in his embrace. you cling to him with a desperation, greedily breathing in his scent when you broke down once more.
"but my problems, they're so small compared to all the things you've been through."
he lifts your chin to press a kiss against your chapped lips, not minding the salty taste of your tears, "it doesn't matter how big or small your troubles are. what matters is that it's enough to make you lose that smile on your face. i want to share your burden and know what made you so unhappy because i love you."
you could feel your heart become lighter upon hearing his words, finally making you feel better as a genuine smile paints your lips. "thank you, love, for being such an amazing boyfriend."
"nonsense, it my duty to ensure that you are happy. now come." he adjusts his hold on you so that he was now carrying you, allowing you to rest your head against his shoulder while he carries you back to the dining room, "you can tell me all about it as we eat dinner together."
all stories are written by rei; reposts, translations, and plagiarism are not allowed.

Metal, Flesh, and Blood
TW( light/mild gore)
Hollie had her head leaned back against the chair she was sitting in, looking up at the ceiling to avoid looking at her mangled hand. She could feel Tikvah's psionics pulling out the chunks of metal that had once been her prosthetic. She felt her wounds being packed to try and prevent as much bleeding as possible. Despite all these sensations of her hand being worked on, she didn't flinch, didn't move, and didn't tremble from the pain. Hollie was used to pain. She had been shot, stabbed, bitten, and beaten so many times that it was almost a constant in her life. She felt it, but she didn't have the same visceral reactions others would have had in this kind of situation.
The wounds that really bothered her were the mental ones. She didn't find the events leading up to this being pleasant as her mind kept replaying the events over and over again as she tried to ignore it desperately. Her mind, however, was racing. She kept replaying the events of the day over and over again, trying to forget them. But her mind was its own worst enemy, and the memories kept coming back. She tried to force every memory of the event down, only for her mind to fight back against the suppression.
In this desperation, she decided to strike up a conversation with the one who was working on her hand. She tried to think of anything to say, beginning to look around to find a conversation starter, her eyes soon landing on her hand.
"I'3+ sorry I broke it," she said, looking away to take her eyes off the reminder of what had just happened. She hated herself for not being able to pull herself away from those thoughts and memories.
Tikvah paused, searching for the right words. She had never seen Hollie so hurt before. The yellow-blooded girl had seen Hollie with plenty of wounds, but never this many. And she had never had to repair Hollie's prosthetic before. The last time she had worked on it was when she had created it, and that was a long time ago. Sure, Hollie got hurt often, but never this badly, at least to her knowledge. Tikvah felt nervous, but she tried not to show it. She didn't want to let down her happy, optimistic facade in front of anyone. Doing so would be a weakness.
"Ɛ>]It's okay[<3," she said finally. Even as she said the words, Tikvah knew they weren't true. This was going to be a long and difficult repair. She had only ever worked on a few prosthetics that were damaged before, and she wasn't sure if she was up to the task. But she knew she had to try. She knew she still needed the cerulean blood bitch alive. "Ɛ>]I'm sure I'll have you patched up in no time. We might be here all night, but it was probably a smart idea to take care of all those other wounds first. You could have lost a lot more blood if we didn't.[<3"
"Please don't re3+ind 3+e… I don't… please," Hollie said in a quivering voice, struggling to find the right words to say. She felt raw, intense emotions flowing over her.
"Ɛ>]Right, sorry[<3," Tikvah responded nervously, seeing their response. The two went silent, not sure what to say or how to continue. Minutes began to pass and Hollie felt her emotions climbing again as she once again left to her own thoughts.
"A3+ I broken?" Hollie said, breaking the silence. She was so quiet that if it wasn't for the lack of noise, Tikvah probably would have never heard it.
"Ɛ>]I mean your hand is broken for now, but I'm fixing it. It will be fixed before the end of the day, I promise,[<3" Tikvah said, trying to be optimistic to try and cheer the other up from their despair. Only for the other not to respond and remain silent.
"Ɛ>]That's not what you meant though, is it?[<3" Tikvah asked. Hollie looked away as the low-blood was able to piece together what they had meant.
"Ɛ>]I don't know if you're broken or not, but you are not beyond repair if you are, I am sure of that.[<3" Tikvah continued hoping the other would find some level of comfort in her words.
"Thank you," Hollie said finally with a soft smile. " I know you don't really care about 3+e, but I think I just needed to hear that.”
Tikvah was silent for a moment. She had forgotten that Hollie was one of the only people who could see through her facade. In this moment, she felt empathy. She didn't want to admit to it, but she did care about Hollie.
"Ɛ>]I'm glad I could help,[<3" she said finally.
Hollie seemed to relax a bit, and Tikvah continued to work on her hand. Both of them knew it was going to be a long night just working on the hand alone.

Hi Sophie! I hope you're doing well. /g
I have some questions as a member of a system, and it's absolutely fine if you can't answer any of them, but I'm feeling kind of lost right now and you are the only person I know of that has some knowledge on endogenic subjects, so I thought to come here first.
[TW: MENTIONS OF RAMCOA)
I just resurfaced in the system tonight. The body I inhabit is a traumagenic system that survived years of RAMCOA. I think I am the only spiritual alter in this system, and I think I came from the ritualistic abuse that they have suffered. I have this innate sense that I come from outside the body's mind, but because the system has gone years believing they are fully traumagenic, they don't know how to cope with the idea that they might not be. Not only that, but they worry that they are deluded for even considering that I could actually be a spiritual alter (I feel that I am an entity that was summoned during a ritual they went through as a child). It feels like I've shattered their sense of identity just by existing.
I think the worst part is that their partner system, whom they all adore, is somewhat anti-endo (they don't hate endogenic systems, but they don't believe in any of it).
Disclaimer: The system is not asking for advice on how to handle the trauma memories; they are in therapy and they're processing that part fairly well, all things considered. It's the realization that I'm more than just an alter that's causing them distress. They are questioning their sanity and if they're delusional for thinking that I am what I feel I am.
Basically, I could use some advice on how to handle this, and how to help the system handle my presence, if you have any advice on the subject.
Thank you for reading. 🤍

Well, for starters... I don't think you or your system are delusional for your beliefs.
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not a believer in the metaphysical. But the thing is, most people are.
The dominant religion around the globe believes that every person has an immortal, supernatural soul and that believers will be rewarded with paradise. Other religions believe in things like reincarnation. Most religions believe in some forms of possession by external entities.
Bottom line: If you're delusional for believing you have a spirit that came from somewhere else, then most of the people on the planet are delusional.
No. I don't believe you're delusional. I think your spiritual beliefs are just as valid as any other.
As for handling the partner system... your spiritual beliefs shouldn't be a dealbreaker.
Generally, the problem with anti-endos isn't really that they disbelieve spiritual systems are spiritual. It's that they disbelieve spiritual systems are systems.
Which is obviously ridiculous when headmates presenting as spiritual entities is such a common thing that the DSM has a whole section dedicated to trying to differentiate between possession-form DID and non-pathological possession states and spirituality. Your beliefs about yourself are both valid and actually pretty normal for systems.
Personally, I don't think you should ask that your partner system necessarily share those beliefs... just ask that they respect them.
The same way I'm sure they would respect the religious or spiritual beliefs of a singlet, because you deserve that respect.
If this is a conversation your system needs to have, I would probably recommend saying something like, "I understand if you don't believe the way we do. We respect your right to your own beliefs. But we ask that you respect our beliefs in turn."
Don't put pressure on them to feel like they need to agree with you. But also set boundaries that you're not okay with them fighting you on this or disrespecting your beliefs.
