HAPPY FAMILY

My bf playing Death Stranding is really showing me that I very much exist in the spheres on tumblr that like it a lot but never uttered a goddamn thing about story or world building.

Which makes sense, really.

Because it's all fucking loony tunes bonkers.

The main character has an autoimmune disease that makes him allergic to ghosts. This is considered a useful thing to his work, since it is walking through large spans of countryside full of ghosts that very much will kill you if you don't get a heads up and avoid them.

Theres a showering system in game that tracks how nasty Sam, the mc, is. Because the grosser he is, the more wastewater his showers make. Which a guy stores to make into grenades to use against ghosts bc the ghosts are allergic to it.

The baby in the tank on his chest has a like mechanical purpose but the gist is that it's a fetus that got to 28 weeks in a braindead pregnant woman, was removed and placed in the tank to trick it into thinking it's still unborn, and it does. Things. It never ages further. You have to rock it to sooth it if it gets upset. It has facebook. We know it has Facebook because it gives Sam likes on his photos and stunts.

He's paid in likes.

So yeah the baby is a coworker. I assume being fired for them is being allowed to age long enough to fill out unemployment paperwork in crayon.

Sam is covered in hand prints. These are what happen when ghosts touch him.

There is a faction called Mules. They are mail carriers turned raider faction, essentially, because they became so addicted to the rush of completing a delivery that they actively rob other couriers to just. Have a package to put somewhere.

The ghosts is internet bc the afterlife is basically a naturally occurring global network. For free.

Theres a guy named Die Hardman. He wears a skull mask. He works with the president.

This isn't even all the weird shit. This is just what my bf has passed along to me.

And no one fucking told me before this year that the reason the whales are all dead on the beaches was bc rain speed ages you and all the rain ends up in the ocean. I could have been theorizing about the fucked up super aged lobsters this whole time

Fragile 🩵😌🩵

The Fool.

Upright: beginnings, freedom, innocence, originality, adventure, idealism, spontaneity Reverse: reckless, careless, distracted, naive, foolish, gullible, stale, dull A lot of people put Higgs as Death but he doesn't fit the card meaning very well. Through his journals he started out as the upright version of the card while by the end of the game he's become the reverse meaning.
