Cielo State of the Union Essay

Oct 29, 2009 09:34

This is more an essay than a state of the union meme, because I realized when I was talking to Kuhn, that I desperately need to essay about Cielo's current mindset. Because I've been having increasing problems playing with him, and, well, until I talked to Zhores, I hadn't realized how fucked up the inside of his head has gotten.

( Wow is Cielo fucked up. Mentioned spoilers regarding Cielo's character arc up through the Airport. )

essay, you totally care about my blather really

I'm not sure how much help Raidou would be at the moment, because even without taking part himself, the CFUW kill game messed with his head for various reasons. And he'd already been having issues with identity, boundaries, and feeling like a relic and a failure, which Shadow Naoto is currently hammering at him with to great effect. Not that Raidou wouldn't want to help, because he likes Cielo a lot and he hates seeing anyone he cares for in pain, but... his headspace isn't pretty right now, so his helpfulness might be limited.

Which is not to say I don't think we should thread.

...And I missed Shadow Naoto messing with his head? CLEARLY I MUST GO BACK AND STALK. XD But yeah, threading with you any time is awesome! ♥ I like how common being screwed in the head is.

Well, he's trying not to let it get to him at the moment, but it's really not helping.

Likewise! I really enjoy threading with you, too.

And yeah, Raidou's rapidly on his way to joining the "screwed in the head Megaten character" club. XD

Clearly it's some kind of rule that every single Megaten character has to have gaping issues SOMEWHERE. Poor Raidou XD

Sera actually probably seeks Cielo out a fair bit, just because he's easy to hang out with, but... yeah. Neither of them want to burden the other by confiding in them. XD Annnd Sera got mindfucked by the kill game so she's pretty useless right now anyway. She looks like she's coping from a distance, but she's really, really not.

/will come back to this later if you have any thoughts

We are so made of win and awesome and fail. XD ♥

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. WE SHOULD THREAD SOMETIME SO WE CAN BE ADORABLY FAIL AT EACH OTHER AND CIELO CAN TRY TO REASSURE SERA THAT THE WOLF GAME WAS TOTALLY OKAY. I probably can't manage anything as awesomely fail as "it's totally all right because the world deserved to be destroyed", but I can try!

moesaurus October 30 2009, 02:40:18 UTC

OF COURSE YOU THINK IT IS OKAY YOU GUYS ARE PART OF THE PROBLEMMMMM which would be the only way she'd call him on his suicidal tendencies, actually. Tee hee! We are so adjusted.

ovoretherainbow October 30 2009, 02:45:56 UTC

But my death is much less important than yours! ...Which actually reminds me that I wanted to essay about how the lack of any purpose here is one of the things that's getting to him. Cielo's okay with his death in large part because he doesn't think his comrades need him all that much.

CLEARLY SO WELL ADJUSTED. I vote therapy be made mandatory for all Megaten characters.

...so maybe Gale is my favorite. Butbut-- 8 characters sob I would need to finish the second game first anyway

On the other note, Taiga would be like the worst therapist ever but he considers Sera... well, one of his people so he actually cares enough about Sera's people by extension that he'd try to help. And he likes Cielo so! ...It would just have the potential of ending terribly.

ovoretherainbow October 30 2009, 04:21:44 UTC

FINISH THE SECOND GAME AND APP HIM :DDDDDDD?

...I ALSO APPROVE OF THINGS ENDING TERRIBLY. Admittedly, that's also what got me into this dilemma in the first place so! Probably not the best idea, alas. Even if Taiga would be an epically hilariously fail therapist and I really want to see that now. XD We should thread sometime again anyway!

shurushurushuru October 30 2009, 19:10:39 UTC

... >,>;;;; Maybe I can play it during semester break. No promises! Because 8 characters sob

Hahaha. Hilariously, Taiga has something of a similar issue (he just deals with it very differently) but his people haven't left him. XD And yes, we should thread ...when I'm off hiatus.

purpleprosebud October 30 2009, 23:45:12 UTC

Playing is awesome too! EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY DDS BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME ♥

That makes sense, actually! Go Taiga XD
