but what gets me especially is listening to Abdul dig into all the meta for Tuck. like how he was this scared, lonely kid on the streets without anybody to protect him

we originally talked about having Vyng shift into his squid form here, but I'm starting to wonder if it'd be better to do that another time
1. Oscar. strawberry milk forever 2. Obi-Wan. it's kind of funny, having somebody else play the counselor role for vyng. but lbr, he needs it 3. Sarona. the whole concept of rune magic is so cool

: hahah, yeah, he told himself he was Fine with Billie living his best life back home. but now that Billie is HERE, he is actually kind of elated
unlike Tuck, who was literally kicking and screaming at the ocean to bring Billie back. but now he's like because Trench is a horrible place to raise a child lmao

By the way, I wasn't sure whether the thread with Obi-Wan ought to keep going, or if we wanted to do something that isn't quite so backdated
lmao. I'm totally down for some follow-up! obi-wan would definitely check up on him now that he's aware of vyng's trauma and would gently make sure he's okay and that obi-wan is available for talks

so...a thought occurred to me. sometimes vyng will forge a spiritual link between him and another creature that lets him see through their eyes. there are cases when he asks permission beforehand, but usually it's just something he initiates on a whim
ohhh that sounds cool but she'd be 100% against it sadly. she has to keep being a person and being tutu a secret and she's not keen on people knowing she can be other thing. unknowingly could be interesting but I might save it until later when I'm ready for identity shenanigans to be more apparent
I was originally thinking he might drop in, realize he's seeing stuff from a person's point of view, but then the link gets severed. so he'd know the duck was a person, but not necessarily who
in his canon shapeshifters retain a single animal feature in their humanoid form, so he'd be looking for like.......feathers in people's hair, bird eyes, that kind of thing lol
Duck. I imagine once he realizes he's dealing with a shapeshifter, he'll actually make the conscious choice to sever the link without prying any further
mostly got frustrated with the doctor's office, 'cause I had a physical therapy appointment booked for the 19th but there was an error, so now they can't see me until 2022 :x
I'm working with another doctor to see if we can't squeeze me into some slots that were cancelled, but the office was closed Thursday and nobody would answer my calls on Friday
hoping that works out, because it's really demoralizing to think my treatments might get delayed another two months. I've been trying to get this stuff done since July, but had to start the process over when my original doctor quit ._.;;;
LIKE, honestly, he's not even sure what he expected?? he knows that shit follows you until you confront it. but being able to say he'd been "reborn" made it easier for him to try sweeping that stuff under the rug
5. Oscar. mako and shiro rarely let themselves be goobers since they've got younger people to look after. that's why they're the first ones who came to mind here
I WANTED TO SAY that tag you gave wu yesterday was just... so good. i love how this thread went from a pigeon mask to a real conversation about vyng's issues
as self-aware as he tries to be, vyng has some massive blindspots that barely got touched on in Deerington. I never expected Wu's mask choice to trigger those issues in such an ugly way, so thank you for facilitating that
iirc, wu got stonewalled the last time he asked vyng to talk about his childhood. and vyng likes wu. so having it emerge this way feels like a nice payoff
I've just known this child for a day and a half but if anything ever happened to them I'd kill everyone in this room and then myself"3. Shiro. fuck u deadly do-wight
