Your Kind Heart Is What Does Not Make You Part Of Those Geniuses. Yet, You Don't Let That Stop You....

Your kind heart is what does not make you part of those geniuses. Yet, you don't let that stop you.... You don't change to fit their vision. I wonder why, Doctor. --- Dances in my grave, decided to do a little ratiorine/aventio comic for my first try of doing a comic. Short but sweet, methinks. Not sure if I'll do it again in this style BUT I hope you guys enjoy it :]

The Archivist vs the Old Ass Man

(s02e20 / s02e08)

on ratio and his goals:

does anyone else ever just think about how the genius society is full of people who could be said to put their research over everything and everyone else.

ruan mei put aside the morality of creating an emanator, of slipping something into the trailblazer’s food without their knowledge, and she didn’t regret it. she mourned her creation and showed zero regard for her surviving small creations that loved her. she will probably never return for them, because she doesn’t care.

herta also very openly doesn’t care. she puts the success of the simulated universe over many other things in her life, including the wellbeing of others and even the likelihood of its success. maaaybe she cared about the acknowledgment from chadwick, but chadwick is exactly the same as her: selfishly following research without a care for the cost.

putting ratio against these characters is actually laughable to me. his entire existence is dedicated to sharing knowledge and making it public. his work connects with people. and beyond that, he forms relationships and creates connections.

he is so so human compared to any member of the genius society and yet his greatest desire is to be recognized by nous. who exclusively sponsors selfish beings who throw away morals and humanity in the name of “science”. he tries so hard to be perfect and statuesque and distant but he isn’t. the statues of him and the constant mask wearing. like he regrets being human too. explodes

i need to see more of his character arc. and also his relationship with aventurine. the kings of putting on a mask to hide their true selves. pleas

Trailblazer: I was brought into this galaxy for one thing. Luckily I forgot what it was so I can do whatever I want.

sampo koski should have forth wall breaking, meta abilities like.

he can access inventories and pickpocket your clothes right off your back. he crouches in a corner and the guards cant see him. he tries to barter with someone, fails, then puts on a pair of glasses that him him +5 charisma. he can double jump.
