#*we're just gonna let this psychodrama sit here

[mean-scarlet-deceiver]

the hardest-hitting Duck content i've ever read was the brief scene in FutureRust's "It's a Splendid Life" (... yeah i'm mentioning it again that fic lives in my head rent-free like a king). a very stroppy, fraying-around-the-edges James snaps at Duck (quoting from memory here) 'shut up about your precious Great Western! they sold you to the Fat Controller didn't they? they didn't want you'

like damn Author Person you should up the rating if you gonna depict a straight-up murder

#anyway #duck kind of... blinks like he's been punched #but recovers #and with pro'lly excessive dignity moves on #so it's not actually explored in the story #but. like. #I WANNA EXPLORE IT? #ttte #ttte duck #this is ttte #ttte analysis #ttte fanfic talk #ttte humanized #oh duck #... this is why i hate people defending the show sidelining some characters on grounds that 'well they're boring' #*we're just gonna let this psychodrama sit here????* #issues for days guys #ISSUES FOR DAYS
