I have an (from what I can tell trying to Google solutions on my own) unusual network configuration that I'm having trouble reconciling with my RPI.
Some background: My desktop PC used powerline ethernet to receive its internet connection. Usually this is passed through my router with the typical 192.168.x.x namespace. Currently however, I am running an ethernet cable from my pc all the way to the wall to directly receive internet at a different IP address. This situation is bizarre, and deserves its own networking thread, but the main takeaway is that there is no router serving internet to my PC at the moment.
I am using an ethernet cable and a TP-Link ethernet-usb converter to have a connection between the desktop PC and the RPI. Originally I was using a laptop with an ethernet port and things were functioning fine. I implemented wpa_supplicant with the router SSID and password and things worked fine. This was annoying however, hence the migration to desktop. I have shared my ethernet connection with the RPI:
As it stands, I can ssh into the Pi just fine, and can even ping the docker containers externally using the inet address returned by ifconfig. However the Pi is unable to ping 8.8.8.8 as the Destination Host Unreachable messasge is returned. This means I also cannot upgrade or update or install any packages, nor can my docker application reach outside the Pi, only take instructions through HTTP.
Lots of things seem different from threads I have read through trying to fix things up and I'll provide as much as I can.

From $ route -n, which seems odd:

EDIT: I am a fool! At some point I switched the ethernet cable while troubleshooting static IP problems and did not switch which ethernet connection was being shared. Thus the RPI was sharing its network to the PC and the router was doing the same, instead of the RPI receiving a shared network from the PC. Classic move.
