shitposting rave 2, electric boogaloo

WHAT? NO.
I MEAN FOR SOME REASON STAN THINKS IT'S HORRIFYING WE DON'T EVEN MEET OUR GENETIC PROGENITORS BUT REALLY THAT'S JUST SUCH A MAMMAL THING, WE'RE DIFFERENT WE DON'T NEED THEM FOR A GOOD UPBRINGING.
*she shrugs*
THE WHOLE GENOCIDAL CHILD SOLDIER IN A HIGHLY CASTEIST VIOLENCE BASED SOCIETY THAT DISCOURAGES POSITIVE SOCIAL INTERACTION ISN'T REALLY SO MENTALLY SCARRING WHEN YOU'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY OTHER CULTURES.

 

That's not how people fucking work.

 

How are you mutated? Do you have an extra genome we don't know about?

 

Alright, it's your funeral.

 

"Not a competition really, but it amused me."

 

*she grins with sharp piranha teeth* I'M SUPPOSED TO BE EVOLUTIONARILY ADJUSTED FOR SALT WATER AS ALL OTHER AQUATIC ROYALTY AMONG ALTERNIAN SOCIETY IS, SO I SHOULD BE ABLE TO BREATHE SALT WATER WITHOUT GETTING DEHYDRATED.
BUT MY ENTIRE LINEAGE IS FUCKED IN THE GILLSSO I CAN ONLY SAFELY BREATHE CLEAN FRESH WATER. I LIVED IN A RIVER BACK HOME! IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO CULL ME OUTRIGHT BECAUSE I'M PURPLE, BUT IT'S ENOUGH FOR BULLYING FROM MY CASTE-EQUALS AND I'D PROBABLY HAVE HAD TO HIDE IT IN ADULTHOOD AS WELL. AND IF IT CAME OUT I'D PROBABLY NOT HAVE HAD MUCH CHANCE AT THE HIGHER RANKS MY CASTE IS SUPPOSED TO REACH. THE WAY IT IS WITH ME BEING A CONSCRIPTION DODGEING CULTIST IT JUST KINDA SUCKED THAT I COULDN'T REALLY SOCIALIZE MUCH...
SINCE, Y'KNOW, LOWBLOODS ARE SCARED OF YOU BUT SEADWELLER PARTIES CARRY HEALTH RISKS.
I TURNED OUT PRETTY OKAY, SO THERE'S NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT!

IF YOU KNOW A TROLL THAT GREW UP ENTIRELY OUTSIDE OF ALTERNIAN SOCIETY AS A CONTROL GROUP, PLEASE DON'T LIKE HESITATE TO TELL ME AND WE CAN SEE HOW A "HEALTHY" TROLL BEHAVES.
"MENTALLY DAMAGED" AND "HEALTHY" ARE MEANINGLESS CATEGORIES WHEN MAPPING TO A DIFFERENT CULTURAL CONTEXT, YOU KNOW?

 

Yeah, I get that! But shitty hyper-abusive... shit, isn't just a cultural context. We can't separate out what's instinct and what's social and like, mental damage? No offense. And probably a troll raised in a place where the goal was a healthy troll and not just an all-powerful empress and everyone else is secondary isn't going to act exactly like a human anyway - there's not even just one baseline for how a human acts, so, point to you, I guess?

I just think it's pretty, uh, reasonable to assume that childmurder deathworld slaveship mchell isn't the ideal psychological environment for trolls, it's just what was most efficient for the one troll who might know better, the empress.

 

NOT DISAGREEING. I JUST... I GUESS I DON'T REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT A "HEALTHY" TROLL WOULD LOOK LIKE. I'M... NOT QUITE READY TO KNOW HOW FUCKED UP I AM.
*she smiles brightly.*

 

"Hey, compared to many I've seen or heard of, you're pretty healthy. No crazier than me. Not sure that's all that an achievement but ..."

 

THANK YOU. FOR THAT MATTER YOU ARE NOT ACTUALLY VERY CRAZY I THINK. YOU'RE COOL!

 

Naw, you're awesome, Loreli. So is Chroma and Oneira. No judgement here!

 

WE'RE ALSO OUTLIERS AND SHOULDN'T BE COUNTED! IF YOU WANT A REAL ALTERNIAN THAT SWALLOWED PROPAGANDA WHOLE AND IS BARFING IT BACK UP ON COMMAND WE SHOULD TAKE YOU TO MEET AMPORA AT SOME POINT, HEH.

 

Am I allowed to bite him?

 

SURE BUT HE MIGHT THINK YOU'RE TRYING TO GET INTO HIS PANTS.

 

I wouldn't, you might catch something.

 

Yeah. Like his lustful attentions.

 

I love learning new things about people, including you. That is nice ability you got there.

 

IT'S USEFUL I GUESS? BUT A LOT OF WATER ON ALTERNIA IS EITHER OCEANS OR SO DIRTY I WOULDN'T BREATHE IT UNLESS I'D BE KILLED 100% FOR SURE OTHERWISE.
I HAVEN'T CHECKED IF PENNARION IS THE SAME! BUT WE ALSO HAVEN'T CHECKED WHETHER THE PH-VALUES AND OTHER STUFF IN THE RIVERS IS OKAY FOR MY GILLS.

 

heh, try swimming in radiation full water, and being a robot. Stupid thing is, i live in a state that is on the coast of water.

 

YEAH THAT SOUNDS LIKE SKEWERING MYSELF IN THE GILLS WITH A HOT FORK WOULD BE MORE PLEASANT, NO THANKS.
I HOPE YOU'RE OKAY THOUGH? DON'T LIKE... GO NEAR IRRADIATED THINGS. EVEN IF YOU'RE A ROBOT.
