Pontos Reproductive Frenzy and ties to story…
possibly triggering discussion content…
honestly I think displaces Goliath for non-consent? there’s a slight nod for the keeper having voluntarily come to his domain, but it feels like straight up mind control rape in a way that squigged me out more than Goliath or any of the other “holy river compels you” RFs. Overall I thought Pontos story went hard on dark/unsettling and the RF caps it off as pretty horrific at least for me personally (and I’m not against NC fiction broadly). I like that for the story though, my expectations for his design and comm interactions was actually “benevolent uncle” figure, so I see what they were doing now with that dang anglerfish.
