a tweet was like "what ship gave you THE biggest brainrot ever"
my ansewr / thread is as follows
replinami did something to my brain chemistry even tho i barely think about them anymore but also jademythra
gold star if you can guess the funny overlap between the two :)
important sidenote, from a previous set of tweets from me
i quoted this saying this sums up my replinami feelings but then went off again ((mostly i just think that's a good set of prose weh))
i continued:
the funny overlap btw is that they are both a pair of characters who literally only got to know each other because they were trapped in the same abusive situation together; and if not for that they would have never spoken, BUT
replinami and jademythra are two sides of the same coin in that they met the same way but healthiest end for replinami does not involve them together, in fact it involves them living as far apart as possible, but jademythra would not be happier anywhere else
and maybe this is unfair because i think in different circumstances with a lot of work replinami could at the very least remain very good friends - there's something about intimately knowing each other's worst moments that creates a very specific bond, after all
HOWEVER this either requires 1) a rehaul of chain of memories that involved them leaning on each other more to begin with OR 2) repliku to go thru some serious self reflection and therapy wrt his identity and also the false memories namine gave him. lol.
like i know canonically he's not huge upset about them but like thats' why i say healthiest and not necessarily happiest - and the point stands is that when his answer is "i don't mind" namine's answer is "i've hurt you too much for this to be okay", so, net loss,
ultimately if the false memories weren't even in the equation then i think they'd have a much healthier baseline - it wouldn't necessarily be no issues but it at least wouldn't be "she rewrote my brain because our abusers told her to," which is one HELL of a complication
LEANING IN VERY CLOSE THE WHOLE DAMN PROBLEM IS SIMPLY THAT REPLIKU HAS NO ILL FEELINGS ABOUT IT AND THAT'S NOT AN ANSWER NAMINE IS COMFORTABLE WITH RECIEVING - SHE DOES NOT NEED TO BE SO HARD ON HERSELF BUT ALSO CANNOT BE BLINDLY ABSOLVED OF ALL WRONGS!!
"so jademythra is a healthier replinami" DEFINE HEALTHIER LMAO jademythra are actually codependent in a way that would seriously fuck them up if either one died. and also they never had the hell of the stumbling block replinami does wrt false memories so its unfair comparison

also becuase i can't shut up:
- my kingdom for a story that really gets into hte nitty gritty of repliku and namine leaning on each other during this hellhole of a game.
- like, they aren't good for each other, they would never work romantically without A Lot Of Work, but,
- there's soomething about having only one person to lean on while you are surrounded by abusers lol. there's something about it and it eats my brain.
- it's the two of you against the world! and it was an effort doomed from the start
- both by the workings of your captors and the fact it was poisoned before it was even born; she does not love you, you do not really love her
- ....but who else do you have?
