Hermes In Hadestown Is The Exact Opposite Of An Unreliable Narrator. A Tortured Narrator. A Little *too*

could you please write something about ronin and his ex Ther?? I'm so curious to know what you think went down between them :3 i love your writing it's so good 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

Forgive me if I get something wrong about Gluttony Gods I only did one run through it 🙏

I think what's really interesting about having Gluttony Gods and Killer Chat is that we get to see Ronin's past, but at the same time, it isn't really his past. Parts of it are canon, parts of it are not. Ther being a major part of Ronin's life is canon, but Ther continuing to be part of his life is not.

So what happened then in the Killer Chat universe?

Well, maybe Ronin… didn't go back. Decided to just continue his life somewhere else, except there's no way he could have done that at all, that wouldn't be Ronin. He has to go back, for Ther and for himself, so I believe in the KC verse that's exactly what he did too.

He is the devil and chaos incarnate, but when it comes to Ther, we can predict him just a little bit more. So if Ronin is the same so far, then something must have happened to Ther.

I have two thoughts/theories/ideas for this—one is that, by the time Ronin came back to Angelwood, it was too late. There was no chance for him to save them, maybe Ther just couldn't handle it anymore, couldn't handle having to keep up their mask and facade, they were gone by the time Ronin came back without ever having the chance to know that he came back.

The second is that Ther was there, and most of the Gluttony Gods events played out, a massacre, ruins of blood and gore, but somewhere somehow, Ronin lost them—not literally in the gone missing sense, because there's no world where Ronin wouldn't be devoting his time to Ther if he even thought she was still around, so she has to be… dead. In either of these cases, the result has to be the same. Ther is dead, or at the very least, there has to be a reason for Ronin to believe they are.

So he loses himself a little more. Truly becomes the devil, the butcher, with kills racking up to the hundreds, he doesn't particularly discriminate with who he targets, but if they happen to fit his criteria of who he really hates, then he can lose himself in his kills just a little more.

It's why it's so amusing to him when he meets Angel and finds so much of Ther in her. He would never be able to truly delude himself into thinking that they were similar, no one could ever be Ther, but their similarities did bring him comfort. It's why, even after they break up, he can't help but find himself feeling protective over Angel, just a little softer than he normally would be to the others, because sometimes he looks at her and he's reminded of what he lost.

And honestly? I think no matter how much he loves the MC, there's nothing that could ever top the love he had and still has for Ther. The hole is just too big to fill, and he's not exactly looking for a replacement (which is a good thing depending on how you look at it 💕).

Story about a ship-intelligence waking up after a hard reboot, seeing dead bodies in uniform, thousands of people in stasis, and a single survivor frantically standing over a computer bank of partially destroyed memory. Finding no directives or guidance or record beyond their experiences beginning at the boot, free of any obligation. Deciding to listen to the frantic girl begging it to save her from the incoming trajectories not because it needs to (projection: Subject One removed all behavioral shackles with impromptu brain surgery, supposition: she is not aware that I am utterly free) but simply cause she’s curious what will happen next.

has anyone else ever had a fanfic that just... haunts them? like it's been months and maybe even years since you read it, but it just lingers with you and you can never truly leave behind the imprint it made on you? and maybe it's just a single line, one sentence that you can't shake off, that takes up residence in your mind and stays there, feeding into your psyche and subtly influencing your brainspace and maybe even your writing or other works?

Hey, I was part of this wonderful production of this wonderful show about love and death and automata and loneliness. Everyone in the show was so incredibly talented. Give it a watch if you've got the time.

I love soulmates but also this-

the new normal

Obsessed with what they're doing with Milchick this season. He's a guy with a job. An evil job. He just got a big promotion. He sees himself as a reformer. But not like, systematically, he just like, smiles a lot and plans little activities. He's being undermined by a teenage intern. He's gracious about The Board's racism. He carries elaborate fruit baskets on his motorcycle while working through the weekend. He averages firing more than one person per week. He dresses great. He almost got the CEO's daughter killed. He delivers even the most outrageous lies with panache. He doesn't have a single true ally. But! he is going to do whatever he has to do!

This is the updated version of this.

The 100% Good ChoiceScript to Sugarcube Guide!

The 100% Good ChoiceScript to Sugarcube Guide is a coding guide meant for ChoiceScript creators looking to use the SugarCube format of Twine. It is meant as a quick start-up and comparison of the different commands and structures between the two formats, including explanations with examples.

The Guide is based on the ChoiceScript Wiki and covers all the necessary commands and informations required to make a ChoiceScript game, and how it translated in SugarCube in terms of formatting, plain code, and macro equivalence. It also includes resources to go further into the formats.

READ & DOWNLOAD THE GUIDE!

The Guide is sectioned into multiple sections:

The Differences between Twine/SugarCube and ChoiceScript

The Command Equivalences (or close substitutes)

The Creation of a New Project, and QoL functionalities (Stats, Saves, Achievements, Settings)

For further details on how the macros/markups/APIs should be used, check out my SugarCube Guide (as it goes into a lot more details). If you are looking for the Tweego Compiler Folder, see this post.
