Clear The Slate, Start Again... Are You Hearing How Preposterous That Sounds? How Do You Not Comprehend

I think something we all got understand about Knife and Suitcase's relationship, romantic or platonic, is that a REALLY big part of Suitcase's arc is her agency.

The overarching theme of Inanimate Insanity II is choosing who you are and making your own decisions, even when it seems there's no way out. A fully-realized Suitcase is one who takes her life and actions into her own "hands" and controls her own life.

And the thing is! Knife wouldn't ever take that from her. In fact, his heart-to-heart with her on the docks was to get her to make her own decisions. He didn't like how Nickel was choosing for her and encouraged her to go against him even when it felt like no one else would side with her.

If Knife ever tried to do anything for Suitcase, make a decision for her, it would break down so much of their bond. Suitcase doesn't need another person to tell her what to do, she needs someone to stand by and trust she can take care of herself.

It's why she throws "I never needed your protection" at Knife in ii17, and why Knife accepts it (for the most part). When faced with certain death, and seeing how determined Suitcase is, he's letting her go. It'll all be over soon, and he's taking in that Suitcase has become what he hoped she would.

AND!! Even then, Knife in ii18 is clearly bruised by that!! He gripes about how no one needs his protection anymore. As much as he knows this is what's best for Suitcase, he's heartbroken that their arc is seemingly over! This is made even worse when he can't even comfort her in an oncoming panic attack. Suitcase pulls herself out of the hallucination. One way or another, Knife was forced to let Suitcase have full agency.

And Knife's sacrifice was an end to his arc because saving Marshmallow wasn't self-serving at all. He got nothing out of it! He most likely won't get a friend out of it like with Suitcase since Marsh most likely won't ever forgive him. He knew that, and he still did it.

The crux of Suitcase and Knife's collective arc is "independent together". They need each other in the way two independent adults need to thrive on their own to support one another. Both their cups must be full before they can pour into the other's.

It's important to know that Knife and Suitcase are their own people separately and together. They're both strong, and together they're unstoppable.

Human Taco and OJ doodles i made a while ago. I feel like they'd be the worst people to meet at a bar

Dazai tries so hard to insist he doesn't like Chuuya but always ends up proving just how obsessed he is like at this point this shit isn't even funny its just embarassing.

HEEEYYY VERY INTERESTED IN YOUR OBJECTIFIED INANIMATE INSANITY AU!!! what species of bird is paintbrush?? I thinked about couple of them while reading but would like to hear more canon version🧫🧫🧫

OH BOY I love talking abt this. Thank you for finding interest in my silly little au!!

Paintbrush is inspired by a brown falcon! Nothing particularly big or grand, but I find them neat! Plus a raptor really just fit them i think.

I'll hopefully have their full reference out at some point? I'm just figuring out some things about it still (plus. Spoilers for future things. Lightbulb's is already done and more are in the making)

PLUS. Brown falcon are in the group called firehawks, which are birds who use wildfires and the like to grab things like a burning stick and purposefully start fires. They do this to fish out any prey so they can hunt.

Though I based Paintbrush on a brown falcon, thats not the actual species they're categorized by. It's probably pretty easy to guess it with the information given tbh but I'll keep it a secret for a bit longer for funsies. Thanks for the question!!

Next on the list is Six! Shark :]

Algebraliens are very social, to the point the other algebraliens they interact with effects their secondary colors. Thus can show up in patterns, eye color, freckles, and even blood in some cases. For example, Ten has red blood indicating a bond with Fifteen, and Six has grayish white and yellow gills due to Nine and X's influence.
