angesed and carkali/cargeb? for the ship bingooo~
GOOD ANGESED (and carkali) MORNING ANON
THE TROUBLE WITH ANGESED STARTED WHEN I COMPLETED THE CHESED SUPPRESSION IN LOBCORP BC LIKE. i know that angela was (intentionally, perhaps) invoking carmen there (oh... if it wasn't intentional that would be really sad...) but "you will always be in the palm of my hand" GOES CRAZY and also pretty much encapsulates the dynamic i like for them... i do ship them but, like with rolargalia, i want to put them in a jar and study them because they make me so sick???
i hesitate to shade in them being terrible in every way because my bar for that is fucking rolargalia, but i do think that i like angesed with a little bit of the same flavor where they're kind of projecting their respective issues on each other and/or venting them on each other even if only subconsciously... their dynamic is not a Healthy one because neither angela nor chesed are healthy people and i think it would be very cool to see them work through that you know. but also i think angela would have very little patience for chesed's bullshit and the comedy potential for that is really high
this, too, is exes with benefits. if i try hard enough i can imagine anything. hear me out.
CARKALI is tbh a dynamic i feel relatively Normal about though i mean that's by my standards so it may not mean much ARTSDRFYTGYFUH they are The Original Lesbians in lobcorp and i refuse to believe anything different. i can incorporate so many religious motifs into it too by proxy of carmen's cult leader shit and kali being arguably one of the most devoted believers at the time, which carries over into gebura (IN MY OPINION BASED ON WHAT I REMEMBER FROM PLAYING THROUGH LITERALLY 2 YEARS AGO) being the slowest to actually warm up to angela in ruina (they don't really get to interact much because that's a roland realization floor and i think she appears... maybe once...?? but angela sabotaging the plan just seems like it would be so much more personal to gebura because in her past life as kali carmen meant so much for her. angela wasn't trying to get revenge against carmen, i don't even think that carmen crossed her mind in the moment except by proxy of carmen being the reason ayin made her the way she was, but the seed of light project has its origins in carmen's dreams and goals, which kali swore to protect... is this anything) basically. a prophet and her most devoted disciple. sorry ayin, you ain't shit
by proxy of that imbalance between them though i do think that kali would have ended up projecting a lot of her own ideas about what carmen was and should have been onto her :3 carmen represents different things do different people and if the past kali heard what would become of carmen in the future... augh augh augh augh MEANWHILE in the present, with a second and a pretty eventful third life under her belt, i think gebura would be more receptive to taking carmen off of that pedestal... we don't know if angela did or will share what she experienced in the light with anyone else, but oh my lord...
