Y'know author-san, when I re-read [name]'s back story, only one thought came to mind. If [name] had siblings, then her childhood is basically like Shameless (Tv show) right?
I didn't know the show and Googled it to see what it was about 😂 But basically yes hahaha!
Well, even if her parents didn't leave or were alcoholic, they were way too naive for a city like Gotham! And Y/N was often let alone, having to deal with shitstorms on her own, exactly like Shameless. For sure, if she had siblings, they would have been like in the show! Thank you for pointing it out, you gave me another thing to watch!!
I hope you're doing well dear, have a beautiful day/night and a nice week-end. Read you soon! 💐🥰

Need more flayed Robin. Robin being possessed completely. Sweet, funny, intelligent little Robin slowly being replaced by a monster before everyone's eyes.
Bonus points if people take ages to figure it out and they just think Robin is becoming a piece of shit person who makes people feel bad on purpose. He makes her break people's hearts and hurt her loved ones. The real Robin is screaming in silence, desperate to tell them that's not her, that she didn't meant to say that.
The only one who suspects this may not be Robin is Nancy. She has no proof and no doubts either.

Hm
Something that kinda bothers me with trimax vs tristamp is the framing of Choice
In tristamp, it's framed as this whole big thing where he has to choose between humans and plants. "Who's side are you on?" Repeated over and over again, & he continues to not give an answer because he doesn't WANT to choose. Which in and of itself, I think this is narratively interesting, but like...
Then I think about what the big Choice is in trimax, & it feels kinda cheap in comparison.
Bc see, the Choice in trimax is over whether he should ever take a life. Wolfwood says it, Legato forces it, even fucking Nebraska Dad says it. Someday, Vash is going to have to make that choice whether he wants to or not. He spends over a hundred chapters running from this, REFUSING to choose one life over another, citing that all life is sacred... he really, truly believes this, and he really, truly wants to live by this.
But sometimes in this hell of a world, you really do have to make a choice. And in the end, he's forced to make that choice. One Time, he chooses to kill in order to save someone else's life. It happens only when his hand is really truly forced, but it Happens. He kills someone, and it nearly destroys him.
And we see this during the time where the earth forces have gotten the order to bomb Gunsmoke to combat Knives, Despite people telling them that they've got plans in motion to combat him without killing a great many people. Bc the people on earth many many miles away are more concerned with risk avoidance, so they're willing to accept killing a Lot of people in order to remove the uncertainty & risk to a great many more.
Zoom back in on Vash. He literally passes out from the mental agony of it & goes into a fever dream of all the people he knows that has died. The man he killed was an awful person, caused so much harm to both Vash and many many more people. Objectively, it should not have been a hard decision.
But for Vash, it was.
And that's what really gets me about it all. Vash is a staunch pacifist. He sticks to this despite people telling him over and over again to give up, to just accept that he has to kill people sometimes... And he eventually learns that they were kinda right in the end, but Even Still, after all is said and done, he STILL refuses to give up on any life he could possibly save.
This framing of the Choice is really, truly moving to me. It's a key part of what really made trimax Hit for me.
So tying it back in with tristamp's framing of choice... idk, it just feels kinda cheap in comparison. In trimax, Vash never really has any doubts about the plant vs human thing (aside from when he was a kid, post-tesla). He knows he's a plant. He knows a lot of humans wouldn't accept him for that. He knows a lot of humans would Fear him for that. But he still loves them and never once wavers in his pursuit for love & peace.
Overall, I just really enjoy the framing of moral questions in trimax more, I guess.

flayed robin flirting with nancy made her feel something (🏳️🌈🫵) but regular robin flirting with her sends her to another plain of existence
(ok but now i can't stop thinking abt flayed robin getting nancy blushing and then using that deep flayed voice and whispering, "i know what you are, nancy wheeler," and nancy's face burns even more. lol.)
ANYWAYS. yes. yes it does, because when robin flirts with her, nancy knows that its actually robin, and not the mind flayer. robin's flirting with nancy because she wants to, not because she's possessed and trying to get a rise out of her.
and sure, sometimes nancy likes to push her limits and just, sit in robin's lap. (totally not revenge for flayed robin) and yeah, robin freezes up and nancy, with faux innocence, will bat her lashes and tuck some of robin's hair behind her ear and ask, "what's wrong robbie?"
robin gapes at her. nancy winks. two can play at that game.
robin thinks for a moment that she's being punished for something, she just doesn't know what.

This post by @thatgirlwithasquid made me think, if Billy is in pain when the Mind Flayer is in pain... does it go both ways? If Billy is in pain, does the MF feel it?
The scene where Billy’s drinking bleach, I personally think he was trying to kill the thing inside him.
Freedom at any cost, even his own life.
It makes no sense otherwise, for the MF to force him to drink it. Why kill the host when you’re still occupying their body? That just defeats the whole purpose of possessing Billy.
Also:
The creature likes it cold.
via @local-redhead-bookworm: I wonder if a small part of him was like “oh this bastard doesn’t like the heat? Even more reason for me to go to work.”
