Nines Realizing An Uncanny Similarity Between His Partner And His Pet

Nines realizing an uncanny similarity between his partner and his pet

Hi, I’m so sorry I only just saw this!!!! Tumblr is terrible at sending me notifications hnnnnnng

ajsjaksjdjdkdkyddyh This is so moving and I’m absolutely floored that my story impacted you that much 😭💖 Like, legit your comment has made my entire year!!!!!!

I did 100% design Charon to be an existential horror story. SOMA messed me up for years after I played it, and Charon gave me an opportunity to explore some of those themes in a different sandbox with different stakes. I’ve always liked horror, particularly when it’s used in subtle ways to complement other genres, and I tried to do that a bit with this story

Thank you so much for reading and letting me know your thoughts!!!! 💖💖💖

(sorry for my bad English. I just wanted to send you a small ‘thank you’ ask but then I wrote 400 words and tumblr character limit pisses me off so here I am)

I fucking love Charon it makes me look stupid  I’m so mad about how much Charon is breathtaking and awe-inspiring and brilliant and OVERWHELMING I just- I think sometimes it was really too much. I cried a lot… 

Dan was my favourite character, I projected a lot onto him, when he was resurrected I was really upset and cried hard. I’m so so so MAD about their decision to make him live, it’s so egoistical and yet so human and real… when rk900 said it was to help Gavin getting through his new cyborg life I was like ‘no wft Gavin please tell him something’ but NO Gavin was ok with that because Dan ‘deserves a new possibility’. Then Dan woke up and the first thing he did was CRY AND ASK WHY DAMMIT. It made so emotional…

  I remember that when Gavin was imprisoned I had to take a break. It was 3am or something and I couldn’t read more because my eyes hurt but my brain was awake so I couldn’t stop myself – Anyway when Gavin was brainwashed for the second time I had to slow down because it was too scary. I’m not used to read horror stories (and I’m not even sure you define your story as ‘horror’) but I really think it is. I was scared because it was all so unpredictable. Their pain was R E A L.

I felt what Gavin was feeling, his loneliness, his anger, everything. At first I couldn’t believe he was killed. I. Couldn’t. But he was and it was AMAZING.

I couldn’t predict what would happen. How could Gavin, who hates androids, became an android? I thought RK900 would save Gavin. But Gavin had to save his ass himself. That’s sadist. I like that.

And the ending? Wonderful. I would have NEVER expected that. I had to numbly read about Gavin and rk900 killing the criminal. It was so socially and ethically wrong (at least to me) that I was shocked. 

Thank you really I just want to thank you for /how much/ I felt reading your masterpiece. I wish it was a book so when people ask me what my favorite book is I could tell them it’s Charon

We've never spoken but god I love your art and I love you. You're amazing! :>

Omg Thank you so much!!! 🥰

You’re also amazing 💖💖💖

This is going to sound silly but, back when you wrote "Charon" a few years ago I was in a really bad place. For whatever reason you fic kept me going. Just waiting for the next chapter, edge of my seat story and all. You helped me.

Thank you.

Thank you anon!!! This really means so much to me!
 
I wrote Charon as a catharsis of sorts for some life stuff I’d been dealing with, which makes it a story that’s very dear to me, even 3-ish years later. It genuinely means a lot to me that it could help you through something. Like, genuinely
