Ohhhh so we're just gonna have Yang deal with V4 levels of stuff, okay cool.
Cool cool cool.
Being serious though, lmao, Yang is seriously just gonna think she's relapsing really bad on her PTSD for some reason.
Nightmares, seeing things, feeling like she's being watched? Check, check, check-aroo, been there, done that, hated it the first time.
I'm going to be going in a similar direction with Blake; Adam's not really her worst fear anymore, that'd probably be failure/watching her friends die/etc, but I like the idea of Adam as emblematic of all of those things, so she might be seeing him around and just assuming she's having a bad trauma month lmao
LOL yeah, it's very similar for Yang.
if they're both seeing him they're going to get so paranoid he's actually here kalsdjalks
dead people can turn up in somnius!
Yang just like, "Adam was such a dick, even Vaeros'd take one look and be like, 'nah man'."
SHE WILL HOLD ONTO THAT HOPE.
And also then like, under her breath, "i shanked that asshole once, i'll do it again."
And Blake, she is the emotional support kitty.
I am thinking I'll have hers manifest mainly as Ruby instead because I feel like maybe she'd be on her mind because October/Ruby's birthday.
Plus I've been entertaining the idea that maybe Yang feels a teensy bit guilty about kind of enjoying the couples vacation in Weirdo land with Blake that she's been having. Like, "I am trying to get home but am I trying hard enough? Am I being selfish because I'm actually liking having time to myself with my partner?"
ooh yes having Ruby appear to her would be interesting!
why yes i'm taking a few of the fandumb takes i've seen and reclaiming them into some nifty character arc stuff for Yang because i can- /shot
LoneWolfPrincess LMAO they need to be each other's emotional support animals. ...They can do that. They both turn into animals. XD
cosmonautdelta I'm just gonna have Ruby haunt her the same way Summer was haunting Ruby in V9.
I want more Thor/Yang/Bees stuff for this event because I think his fear of himself would be interesting for how their relationship has turned out so far with regards to the darker aspects of his past he's been trying to move past.
I am kinda tempted to have her get possessed though. Mostly because I was thinking of hiatusing for the back end of October as that period's gonna be really busy for me and "Whoops Yang didn't want something drawn on her so now she's being puppeted." is a convenient excuse.
She'd be incredibly pissed off about it afterwards too.
I want Red Son to bond more with Yang
And also just see this other red bull in Blake's life and just be the Most Offended at his existence
everyone is offended by Adam Taurus
SamuraiMarmoset Oh yeah! Yang doesn't know a lot about Thor's past (she might have even less of an idea than Blake depending on what they talk about in the haunted house) so there'd definitely be some interesting revelations there.
Also LOL yeah, Adam Taurus is The Worst.
Red Son just over here 'I'M the red bull in Blake's life now and I know how to treat people I care about RIGHT you absolute TOOL'
Demon boy just hissy protective over student forever
I'm also laughing because like, I've done quite a few of "Fear"-themed events with Yang in assorted games through the years and the literal Eldritch Goddess they're fighting like...never factors into any of them?
For the record, all the stuff Thor is telling Blake about himself in the dragon departure thread he is telling her sort of with the expectation it will filter back to Yang at some point and he is Fine with that, if you wanna go that route.
And like, Salem is scary but if you asked Yang to rate the things she's most afraid of Salem would maybe break the Top 5? Maybe come in at a solid 3.
There's just other stuff that Yang's way more afraid of. Like, at least she can and has punch Salem.
Can't punch away your abandonment issues tho.
SamuraiMarmoset LMAO, okay, now I'm just like, "Watch, Yang's not even really asleep during that whole conversation. She just really wants Blake to keep stroking her hair and keep resting against her and 'being asleep' is an extremely convenient excuse."
Abandonment issues are rude like that
Red Son would also feel Yang in the whole 'am I trying hard enough' to get home feeling
alwaysterrible Yeah, Yang's are way better now post-her and Blake working stuff out and also post-realizing Raven is a hot mess of issues that have literally nothing to do with her but like...being alone still sucks.
And of course ultimately her answer to the "Am I trying hard enough?" is going to come back, "Yes I am, and also I am, in fact, allowed to have some time and nice things for myself and that isn't something I should feel guilty about." but I like the idea of having her brush against the concept now and then.
Especially since way back in V4/V5 she essentially cut her own personal recovery short just to go after Ruby and make sure she was okay.
Yang having a good idea on being in Labyrinth, Red Son would appreciate the perspective (while dealing with....his own family showing up to guilt him)
alwaysterrible ROFL, she will get back to you on that as soon as she works those issues out for herself, Red Son, that's a promise. XDXD
Also shout out to
elfwife because at least Yang doesn't have the guilt of letting her dragon's last gift
and the symbolic representation of her sister completely wither and die on her on top of all this. You the real MVP.
Yang listening to Blake and Thor talk and secretly delighted at how well it bodes for her that Blake knows how to use her fingers.
Instead once it's threaded out she has a cute little ruby red rose bush growing by her treehouse now. ^.^
I feel like Yang's somehow known about that since V1-V3 but I can't justify it with anything from canon so FAIR- /bricked
if you do get Yang possessed for hiatus reasons I'm just imagining Blake spending that period following her around and corralling Yang's haunted ass adskajd
just making sure she doesn't get into any trouble
Yang just like, "Thank you for making sure my possessed dumbass at least didn't do anything embarrassing orz"
Yang does that just fine all on her own.
blake: you're actually more embarrassing when you're not haunted <3
fjkdsk Yang just like "mock-pouting" at that but also like please tease me more Blake that's hot.
Okay after thinking it over for a few hours
cosmonautdelta if you're definitely okay with that, I think I will have Yang get possessed so as to cover my hiatus for the end half of October. X3
absolutely! you can figure out what Yang would be doing, and Blake will be doing her best to make sure she's safe!
cosmonautdelta Awesome! Enjoy eventually getting Yang to eat that dirt, Blake. XD;;;;
I think for the most part she'll probably be acting listless, like not having much interest in doing things she'd usually do and instead spending a lot of time wandering around town sort of aimlessly? Probably with the desire to be alone thing which for Yang, lol, that's when you know something is amiss.
is that what they're calling it
Also
Yang and
Blake just got the cutest Treats imaginable and I'm deceased.
