Because it's not really his name.

It's the name of the poor guy whose soul he ate/destroyed/whatever in the process of stealing his body.

(And yes, he admitted as much when we were arguing about things later that morning.)

... lifestream?

[Steven stares down at the screen. That's. Definitely a thing that Estinien mentioned. And come to think of it, hadn't Hades or Hythlodaeus used that word yesterday too.]

Quick questions that don't really have anything to do with this: do crystals have any significance in your world whatsoever? And does anyone ride large birds?

Also, that's a decent point about the name, but I'm still mad at him for acting like he's got any claim to moral superiority when he's a serial body thief, so passive-aggressive quotation marks it is.

[Oh Jesus fucking Christ he's from Final Fantasy.

Not. A Final Fantasy that Steven's got any familiarity with. But so much bullshit finally makes sense.

Also Hades is so fucking an endboss, isn't he? Or possibly the Endboss' tool that's actually a lot more annoying to everyone over the course of the game, but technically isn't the real endboss. Like Kuja or Seymour.

Holy shit.]


I mean, I do understand he *thinks* he has good reasons for why he does things, which is *why* he's so quick to claim moral superiority. I just don't think that anyone who uses those means should be allowed to. He should just admit that he's as awful as any of us mortals he looks down upon, even if he's doing it for a good cause. Worse, maybe, since *we* don't steal bodies.

[He needs to tell Dirk who he's dating now. And also so they can basically put down 'some Final Fantasy or another' for all the people from Eorzea on their secret list.]

Yeah. No. I get that.

And I can get that he's even doing it for a good cause. I just... get mad when he's acting like he's my moral superior when he's done much worse things than I have, even if his reasons are good. Like I get that he's coming from the perspective that the ends justify the means and all—I just think there's stuff you just shouldn't *do*, no matter how good your cause. And stealing bodies is one of them.

[personal profile] fingersandteeth 2020-07-20 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
... ah. Not *commonly*. But, well, when I was a lot younger, I read these books where the villain who was behind a *lot* of terrible things over the centuries had been doing that using his descendants for thousands of *years* in order to avoid death, and it really stuck with me? It probably didn't help that the book went into detail about what it was like for the last one to get his body hijacked and stolen like that.

And it's fine. I'm technically not in Goldenrod either--I dragged Jack to the Fuschia Surfing Party with me and we're coming back by Ubird now. *Hythlodaeus* is going to be here in another couple hours. He had to get back from Fuschia too.

Oh *Jesus*. Are you okay, Estinien?

And that would actually be great if it's possible, since I can't put him up in a hotel forever. Hythlo thinks that 'Solus' will stop throwing his temper tantrum in about three days and honestly, that's how long *Jack* takes when he throws a tantrum too, but I don't want to chance it taking longer.

(Honestly, I never thought there'd be anyone here that would outclass Jack at being an absolute *toddler* when something offends him, but 'Solus' takes the damn cake. He literally left poor Hythlodaeus on the beach in nothing but his swimming costume--he even took Hythlo's *shoes* and *Pokeballs* with him when he ditched him. All he had left was his pokegear and barely enough money to take a Ubird, which the man threw in his face like he was a common *escort*. Tantrum is a good word for it.)

Oh, by the way, Hythlo says you were getting Gloom for him, for his chemical experiments. Did you find any?

I'm executively deciding this thread takes place before the one with Lydia

[personal profile] fingersandteeth 2020-07-21 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Hythlo accidentally used 'Solus'... you know what, screw it, he accidentally used *Hades'* True Name in front of me. I was keeping it secret to protect *Hythlodaeus*, but if Hades is going to be such an utter *ass* about things, he doesn't deserve having his name be private.

It was an accident too, which just makes this stupid tantrum worse. I'd startled it out of him when I'd mentioned Hades had been *flirting* with my baby sister when she was here over the weird weekend.

Re: Always good to have a solid timeline

I mean, that point of view does make sense.

I just think he's an absolute shithead to punish his *best friend* so harshly for what was an honest mistake.
fingersandteeth: (looking over)

[personal profile] fingersandteeth 2020-07-21 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
... no. I get it. Back home, my friend Abner was born Jessica. I'm basically deadnaming him now and so is Hythlodaeus. It's a huge dick move on our parts. And it's understandable he's pissed off.

I just think how he's acting on being pissed is way beyond the pale.

(And, admittedly, it sticks in my craw to call him by the name of the poor asshole whose life he stole.)
fingersandteeth: (realization)

[personal profile] fingersandteeth 2020-07-22 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I *know*. It's just. I don't know. The principle of the thing.

(Admittedly, being still on unpaid leave at work after two and a half weeks because *someone* has sent a Rotom to sabotage all the office equipment I dare try to use is. Well. Destroying a lot of what charity I *had* for 'Solus' right now. I mean, I know I earned it, but at the same time, I *really miss my job*.)

I sent him a nightmare during the weird weekend. In return for all the times he terrified me and for bothering Tyler after I told him to stay away from him. And... god, I don't remember half the details anymore but I know it was absolutely horrific and got completely away from me. I think his mind must have filled things in on its own after I started it... my God, the shit that was in his head.

Anyway. I was ready to apologize and talk things out with him... and then he started sabotaging my ability to do my *job*.

I know, I know. I've been a complete and utter dumbass with him. I get it.

He's still an unbearable ass, though.
