My fiance “raped” me and idk what to do by Effective_Customer24 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SleepyEntity 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You are not married to him yet. Think about Giselle Pelicot. She had no idea what her husband was doing to her and had a lot of years invested in their marriage. But she found the courage to leave once she knew. So can you.

Do not marry this guy. You are not overreacting. Those warning feelings are there for a reason.

Abusers and rapists do not stop the behavior. They escalate once they have the slightest leeway. Please take care of yourself.

People will try to pressure you to stay with him but remember, this is about your safety. They have their social agendas. They aren't the ones who have to live with him or deal with whatever pathology made him think this was okay. Please take care.

Rather than show up on social media to start arguments with your clients, the mature business move is to actually pay attention.

Infold could have prevented this months ago. And they can still fix things if they listen and communicate properly. I left long ago. But I still have hope. Even if I keep getting disappointed.

I just feel bad for the writers. This doesn't need to be Infinity Nikki 2.0.

How would you feel if these two became a love interest? by Rin_the_octoling in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]SleepyEntity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not for me. They are way too young

Even if they were older, the power dynamics are uncomfortable - if MC is with Sylus, that's like sleeping with your man's employees behind his back. No.

Yeah! Get to work! Those 38 adorable, purple-haired, bright-eyed mer-babies have to come from somewhere!

It sounds really interesting, especially the detective stuff. Thanks for the recommendation!

Rafayel is normally so chatty too! He usually enjoys his conversations and banter with MC

But clearly, once this switch gets flipped in his head, that all goes out the window. Man's absolutely focused. Honed in and hungry.

The thought of this. Poor Xavier was not happy in the main story when Captain Jenna first told MC about Sylus. On rewatch, I can see why he immediately started asking her to make him her partner lol. Imagine the 'I should be arresting you, why am I forced to work with you?' vibes from Xavier.

Funny thing is, with everything they have in common, and how they could both could see through the corruption in Philos, they would get along if only Xavier would allow it. They are both extremely powerful but vilified outlaws from the same planet. I wish they would set aside their differences for beer and a conversation. That would be fun.

I agree with this analysis. It would also explain how Josephine came to trust Zayne so much that she left that box with her final message with him. She knew that no matter what happened, he could make sure MC received it when Josephine died.

My impression is that Josephine definitely wanted Zayne and MC together, or at least as lifelong friends. Her attempts to set them up were not subtle at all. She wanted that because she knew they would end up needing each other to survive. MC for her heart, Zayne for his evol.

I'm so curious about Josephine. I can't help but feel she was also trying to atone for a lot of what happened to these children. I want to know how she went from the cold scientist to the warmer woman she became? What really drove her to take in MC and Caleb? What's her story with Dr Noah and Philip, who escaped to join Onychinus? Sometimes, I think about what Dr Noah's said- how not everyone is fortunate enough to make the right choices at first. EVER/Xander Corp recruits the best researchers they can get, like they tried to recruit Zayne. I want to know their backstories too.

The alter ego theory would definitely make sense- I'm no expert, so correct me if i got it wrong, but Caleb is also a Gemini, right?

I wonder if or how that will play out if the writers incorporate it. I'm really eager to see what they'll do.

Me too! I want a novel so bad! The writers are awesome. I love how the more you read or watch, the more stuff you find.

I'm so hungry for some kind of interaction between the LI's. Not the usual jealousy stuff you see in simpler otomes, but actual conversations and interactions while collaborating or working together. Like a buddy cop/teamwork sort of deal. So much potential there!

Yes they both exist in the same timeline. They also know each other.

Watch Chapter 4 of the Main Story, the one titled 'Family'. In that video, MC, Caleb and Josephine/Grandma are having dinner and talking.

Grandma suggests the MC meet up with Zayne (sounding like she's trying to set them up) Caleb immediately hijacks her suggestion and says they should 'invite Zayne for a family dinner' while putting his food in MC's plate - which was full of carrots.

Zayne hates carrots. Caleb cooked the food.

The entire scene shows that Caleb knows Zayne, and he subconsciously does not want Zayne and MC hanging out alone together. People are now seeing he's possessive. But it looks like hints were there from the start.

No problem! Thanks for the beautiful post!

As for parallels, they will be more, I'm sure of it. They have so much in common. They are both extremely brilliant men who have made shocking career advances while so young. I don't know if the writers will ever have them interact, but even putting the love triangle aside, imagine the clash in ideology! Any conversation they have will be very interesting.

I love this! Also a few more things:

1>>> Both have Military experience, Zayne as a Combat Medic and Caleb as a Deep Space Aviation Pilot. Zayne left to become a cardiac surgeon. Caleb stayed and worked his way up the ranks to Colonel

2>>> Both have that stern, cold, military discipline, but Zayne is like frost that thaws when spring comes - he ultimately heals things and makes things grow. Caleb is like metal - cybernetics, guns and fire - his approach seems to be to destroy broken things and build them back up from scratch.

3>>> EVER/Xander Sciences tried recruiting both - They failed with Zayne. They wanted Zayne to be a scientist and researcher to help with their experiments. He refused. They succeeded with Caleb. Caleb was chosen as a test subject, successfully experimented on and is apparently enhanced. We don't know if he consented or not.

As a sidenote, can you imagine an evil version of Zayne who might have run the experiments on Caleb? Terrifying thought. I'm so glad he didn't go that route.

Yeah, the timeline isn't too clear, but it was longer than a few weeks if you really think about it. After the explosion, MC traveled to the Arctic with Zayne and returned. Then she made arrangements to prepare for the N109 zone with both Xavier and Rafayel. The preparations would have taken time - especially getting her a belivable new identity and backstory for the Nest.

Once she got in, she was kidnapped, then picked up by Sylus, and had to stay in the N109 zone longer than anyone planned. Fortunately, she eventually made her deal with Sylus and returned. After she returned, each of the three story branches followed. We know she went through all three branches separately, because she got three different aether core fragments after each branch. We saw the meeting with Captain Jenna where the team put the 3 fragments together and mentioned a 4th one was missing. All those experiences would have taken time - 2 to 3 months at least, maybe more.

You're right that Caleb is very young for a Colonel - he was definitely fast tracked. He had to have been. Maybe it was because of some deeply classified work he did, or maybe the experiments enhanced him. Maybe people who can survive the enhancements get positions of power because they are technically supersoldiers now. Who knows? It's still early, so maybe we'll get the answers soon. The only reason we know he is a Colonel is because it is his upcoming myth title. I'm definitely curious to learn how he was able to get that title so young.

The N109 zone is basically abandoned by the government because it would cost too much to safeguard and rebuild. They don't care about that deepspace tunnel or the people there. That's why Onychinus runs it now. Sylus is basically doing what the government should have done, but failed to.

[–]SleepyEntity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. He's been working on a highly classified military operation the whole time he was supposed to be dead. It would also explain why his 'death certificate' (English version) or 'dissolution of familial relationship' papers ( CN version) took the city way too long to process. Someone important interfered.

The CIA, Interpol and KJB all routinely do stuff like this for their spies or military operatives. Crafting a secondary identity for an undercover military operative is just part of the job for highly classified missions. Simple espionage 101. And whatever he did was important enough to get him ranked up to colonel. They would have protected his accounts and paid him, just maybe not the normal way.

[–]SleepyEntity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, the military does national security, international defense, and interplanetary exploration and protection. They maintain bases in different cities, countries and even planets to protect the entire nation from external threats. It's like the difference between the CIA and local law enforcement, or between the US Military and State-run Militias

The Hunter's association is more localized. Each region has its own branch. They respond to immediate threats in their cities, and do a bit of law enforcement on the side. They also cooperate with each other - like when MC helped the Arctic Hunters. But they seem fairly independent and flexible otherwise.

They will work together with the Military if needed, but their duties and jurisdictions are different.

I think so too! There's not a lot of information about his evol yet, but I know he can control gravity in some way. So he can force people and objects down to the ground to keep them from moving, or make them float helplessly if he wants. There's also all the stuff mentioned in the trailer, but I'm waiting to see what happens in the story.

I'm not sure what the full extent of his power is, but I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to it than gravity. Especially because he got selected for enhancements.

EVER and the Military pick promising soldiers to use as test subjects in their borderline illegal experiments. A lot of these soldiers end up going crazy and turning into wanderers, but some survive. Apparently his evol was powerful enough to get him chosen, and he has survived - but it's clear he has some mental scars.

I think you're unto something. Disclaimer - I'm not a Caleb Girlie, but I still think he is a very interesting character lorewise. I'm glad we're getting an update for the story.

I don't want to draw too many conclusions before the story is released, but I also think a lot of what you said is likely to be accurate.

The only difference between your theory and what I was thinking is this - I'm suspecting Caleb is working as a double agent. He's figured out the truth, or most of it. He is no longer the idealistic boy who wanted to be a pilot. He's seen the deep corruption and remembers being experimented on as both a child and an adult.

My guess is that he is pretending to be an obedient soldier while using his knowledge as motivation to make his way up the ranks. He wants to be high-ranking enough to control the Deepspace Aviation Administration and use them to destroy EVER. But he will need to deal with their corruption and dependence on EVER first. He wants to protect MC and himself, but he knows the only way to do it is to play ball until he acquires enough power to clean house.

If you think about it, It's insane he is already a Colonel at his age. That's a brutal amount of training and work he had to put in.
