whenever i'm discussing baby names with a weird woman i always make sure to try and sow the seeds of tragedy. 'isn't eridan a cute name for a boy? it's greek.' this is the pseudointellectual's noblesse oblige.
hang on I have to google something
oh you sick fuck
Do you look at my condition with your heart and mind? Look at what the suffering I am suffering from is that I am injured and I suffer from great pain in my back and in my feet, but I cannot rest for the sake of my family, for the sake of my elderly parents, for the sake of the children, and for the sake of my female brothers. I clean the dirt, but where to the soil that Children play with it and become infected with skin diseases, contagious fungal diseases, etc. Can you imagine your child playing in soil filled with waste water and sewage? Imagine what else might happen to them. I cannot prevent them from playing because there is no other place for them to play. It is enough that they are terrified of everything. This is what It was caused by the genocide war. They are terrified even of small insects. Look at them with your heart as if they were your children. Help me donate even a little for them. My family’s children are your children. Help them in order to provide them with a simple life. Do not hold back on donating, even if you see it as small. For me, it is a hope that will help me survive.

mouthwashing spoilers, discussion of fictional sexual assault, fictional abuse of a disabled person, references to real life injury
I thought about how many people genuinely believe Jimmy's interpretation of the rest of the crew. No, Anya is not weak and stuck up. Daisuke is not stupid or ambitionless. Swansea is not an angry, useless drunk. Curly is not a misogynistic corporate suck-up. Believing this, Jimmy's pov is exactly what people like him want, this is exactly what Abusers want you to think to further isolate everyone around them and make them out to be the only ones that had suffered.
It's to make you think "Well the others had it coming because they\re [x] and [y]" and it seems to be fucking WORKING the way you all talk about the other characters.
At least they have each other still
I genuinely can't understand why some people still think of Anya as a clumsy, squeamish, incompetent bundle of nerves after finishing the game. Like you'd think that, even before the end, players would realize that Jimmy is a very unreliable narrator, what with his manipulative tendencies, the fact that he's literally hallucinating every other scene, and how different the rest of the crew seems to act from Curly's perspective. But no, many seem to take this version of Anya at face value, and it's very sad because not only is she the most important character in the game, but that description of her falls apart once you actually think about her for a split second!
Anya kept Curly, a severe burn victim and amputee, alive with basic medical supplies. This means she had to take care of him tirelessly, debride his wounds, set up and change his IV, change his bandages, set and clean a bedpan for him... Would a squeamish person be able to do that? A clumsy person who constantly forgets about things? Would an incompetent woman who, according to Jimmy, isn't even worth her title as a nurse, be able to take care of such a high-risk patient that needs tending to like clockwork? No, of course not! Anya is driven. Dedicated. Impossibly strong. This isn't just any patient, but her captain, someone who was clearly important to her and then tried to kill everyone (allegedly), which would no doubt add an extra layer of complexity to working with him in this context. And yet he's still alive and breathing and in top shape all things considered.
The only two things that point to her being incompetent is her inability to enter medical school - the reasons why are never so much as mentioned, but Anya herself says she has no savings, and I haven't really seen anyone speculate it could be because of money, not necessarily her lack of skill - and her inability to give Curly painkillers, which clearly triggers an intense trauma response from her, so it's understandable that she'd seek help from someone else to do it. And then there's the fact that it's not just anyone, but her abuser. Would an incompetent person steel herself and try to convince her RAPIST, someone she's so scared of she literally hid the only gun on the ship so he wouldn't be able to take it, to give her patient painkillers? She could've stalled. Could've straight up given up on trying to give Curly his meds. But she would rather face Jim head on than let that happen, because she's brave, and she knows what she's doing, and refuses to let even her very real trauma get in the way of her duty.
See what I mean? It's easy to see her simply as a nervous person, who spaces out and mopes and can't do something as basic as give a guy some pills. But that's the thing - it's easy. Once you go a little further, once you spot the discrepancies between her apparent personality versus her actions and the way she behaved during Curly's sections, you begin to realize Jim is wrong about her, and you are, too.
For a fandom that likes to overanalyze anything (as you should with a game like this), it's genuinely sad how the same effort isn't always extended to Anya.

I'm starting to really dislike how indie horror games have been geared towards younger audiences for the past decade or so, because I just finished watching my roommate play mouthwashing. I think its a fairly well written story and the character interactions resemble a lot of my real life experiences with sexual abuse. But gaging from a lot of the fanart and posts and, jesus fucking christ, shipping discourse resulting from the game, I feel as if the audience it has attracted would be better suited getting into like, yumme Niki, or off. omori even. Lmao.
the more i see it the less i like the fandom gag of refusing to call jimmy by his name / apologising to artists for "having to draw" him. not thinking about the rapist in any serious long term capacity because you can't wrap your head around his crime, you can't even bear to think about what societal forces were behind such a disgusting action. you only see the end result and you don't like it. i think it's illustrating the point of the game and not in a good way.
this is a typo in a textbook written by the professor of this class, it cost me $105, i will be sharing with the world
Hey, go sign up for this. Lowest tier is $2. Thats $24 a year. You can afford it.
