just thinking about hair and faces

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #i don't THINK this counts as face horror but just in case #face horror #for your daily dose of me losing my mind over anime characters #i don't know why the hair thing surprised me so much. i think because i thought it was funny that lilia named silver after his hair color.#like ha ha lilia is hilariously bad at names how cute and silly!#oh. oh it's kind of a Thing.#anyway i am excited to see where the heck all of this stuff with silver's various dads ends up!#we still don't actually know who killed meleanor!#we still don't know literally anything about dad draconia! (dadconia? dradconia?)#we don't know what happened to the macguffin gem with its magical dad-saving powers!#(surely this will not come back to save a certain dad at a later point. of course not.)#man i was not expecting episode 7 to be all dads all the time #i mean i'm here for it but #hey remember when the highest stakes were who was gonna win the big talent show #then robots started kidnapping people and now we've just escalated from there #episode 8 our cat is going to turn into a drippy ink kaiju and we're going to have to mecha battle him to save the world or something #each member of diasomnia pilots a limb and we gattai into a giant robot dragon and hold on i gotta submit this spec script to aniplex brb

I'm in desperate need of an arthur returns fic that begins like five years after the fact, when arthur has fully integrated into modern society and him and merlin are married and living normal 21st century lives. only to out of nowhere get sent back in time to when they first met in camelot. so now they have to redo it all while pretending that they aren't essentially millennials with twitter brainrot going insane from caffeine withdrawal

#merlin #merthur #arthur would be such a whiny bitch about it im crying imagining it #“why is everything so uncomfortable to sit on. merlin can't you just magic us a couch”#they get lost on patrol and merlin automatically goes to take out his phone to check Google maps and then gets an aneurism when he remembera #people overhear them speaking in modern english and are incredibly confused #“i would murder a man with my bare hands for sugar right now”#elevators and escalators are mourned like loved ones

Thinking about the sniper duo

#tog #the old guard #siggy draws #quynh #nicolo di genova #the old gays #genuinely they're all i can think about this week #what are they running from / shooting at?? idk they probably fucked up sdfghfds #the headcanon is: when you put these two together they have a lot of fun but they're a DISASTER.#here's a story: some rich man saw quynh and immediately decided she was going to be his wife #and ofc quynh had issues with this and wanted to smack the shit out of this guy right away.#which she did. which escalated into a duel of sorts. nicolo is just there on the side like 'oh shit'.#either quynh was in disguise or she was forced to wear the dress. either way she is Not happy about it.#cue little brother who can lift his own weight and sprint to the rescue #maybe i should make this into a fic omg #can you fucking tell i started this by listening to anime osts ended it with disney songs

Ok SO

Canonically his dad is a cop and there are a couple jokes about his parents not loving him, dudes dad straight up said "actually, do we love you?" Like sir damn anyways im taking that and running with it SO

Giving him a fucked up situation of him and his dad always butting heads and both of them escalating things constantly, and as he got older the ends to the arguments went from getting grounded or punished to getting kicked out or Duncan just leaving, probably escalating to his dad kicking him out semi regularly and eventually his mom or dad telling him to come back home to make a kinda fucked up cycle

And like i know they gave the convict kid a cop dad for the laugh like its not that deep at ALL

but like that sets up sucha fucked power dynamic and i want to use that

and we never find out what got Duncan sent to juvie for the first time, its said off screen while some characters are spilling embarrassing or dark secrets and in my fucked up world either he accumulated a couple charges while he was kicked out, indirectly the fault of his dad

or worse but more tempting

he got kicked out and his dad arrested him for trespassing

so like idk i just love the idea of a pyromaniac, vandal convict who has no respect for authority or mutual trust having the tragic backstory that his first time getting arrested was at the hands of his father

#daddy issues deluxe edition #duncan angst post complete #Duncan doesn't know how to de-escalate and needs to get the last word #he gets that from his dad btw #so running away is almost like winning #idk how Canadian cops are so im using american cop mentality #which is typically the “shoot first ask questions later” mentality #i think despite his Dad caring about him hed do hurtful shit and only regret it later #and i sincerely doubt they'd talk about it #so it just drives a deeper wedge and makes whats “normal” that more intense #:D #i love taking things too seriously i love overthinking behavior #duncan total drama #jester jabbers #headcannon #angst #total drama #idk man

thinking about the way ghost doesn't hesitate to start killing shadows when graves betrays them but soap only takes one hostage

you can almost hear the voice in his head telling him it doesn't have to be this way; they can still talk it out

"i'm calling shepherd"

his first instinct when confronted with betrayal is to play it by the books; to go up the chain and sort it out democratically. that goes against everything we've seen him do; he’s quick to drop his enemies and bucks authority at every chance except for the one time he's confronted with the barrels of his allies' guns

he wants a peaceful resolution; for the first time we've ever seen, he doesn't want violence to be the answer

there has to be another fix, a solution that doesn't end with him killing the same men he's been working with; his friends

nothing's happened yet

it doesn't have to go this way

but ghost has been betrayed before. he knows the way this ends; either with him six feet under or his enemy

he doesn't hesitate

it's only when they knock alejandro out that soap shoots; when they spill the first blood and cross a line they can never come back from

only when ghost orders him to run and he has to cover his retreat

and somewhere along the line, between civilians’ screams and taunting voices, between his shaking breath and ghost steady in his ear, that naivety is stripped away; his trust turned to teeth that he uses to sink into throats of men he'd have given his life for

"be careful who you trust, sergeant; people you know can hurt you the most"

he's learned the price of trust

just like ghost did

but unlike ghost, he has someone to guide him through the aftermath

"good advice, It"

#i might crown myself the ceo of soap meta at this point i love digging into this boy #but it seriously fucks me up how much he tries to de escalate the situation #invoking shepherd like hes trying to remind graves of who funds him and the power he holds #the consequences he’ll face if he goes through with this. just stop and think it through first #only to be stricken silent when graves drops ‘general shepherd sends his regards’#he doesnt say a single word after that #ghosts the one who picks up the lead for him ‘he knows about this?’#he can still function through his shock and the gut wrenching betrayal bc he’s been through this before #and he knows freezing will get him killed #but soap doesnt #he freezes #getting shot is something he wouldve been through before but being shot by an ally?#at that moment he isnt sergeant mactavish #hes johnny and hes in shock #and thats why ghost yelling for johnny doesnt reach him #he only breaks through when he calls him soap. when hes forced back into a soldiers mindset #thats all thats keeping him going. he isnt johnny a man whos been betrayed by a friend #hes a soldier following direct orders to keep himself alive #i can only imagine the after #when he lets his rage run out and is faced with the vulnerable and painful betrayal #but ghosts there to help him through that too. there for johnny the way he wished someone had been there for him #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #cod mw2 #john soap mactavish #soap cod #simon ghost riley #ghost cod #soapghost

i like think about machete's death as a culmination of his paranoia and eventual cruelty and vasco as the single ray of light loving him up through the end. even through as terrible as he becomes, the thought of vasco's heart being with him even as he chokes on his own blood as the one thing that he could hold on to. what is it to love something you know is vile, and to mourn their loss regardless. i could drink the tragedy like wine

.

#*deflated wheeze*#you've clearly Thought About This have you #man #I was about to head to bed and in comes this curveball #Vasco's image of Machete is very different from the public one they've known each other since late teens #of course he'd be willfully blind and reluctant to believe someone you love dearly has developed this widely hated and feared work persona #even when the evidence mounts you still think surely it's not that bad you know they're going through rough time but it'll pass #they're still the same person when they're with you at least mostly #and then when things escalate you take steps to save them but they're not letting you #towards the end Machete is so drenched in perpetrator trauma and moral injury I think he starts to try to distance himself from everyone #on some level he realizes what he's become and how far beyond the saving point he is #everything's gone wrong how did it end up like this #and he can't let Vasco get dragged down with him #his single ray of sunshine #answered #middry #Machete #Vasco

I love that Griffin's active use of his invisibility thus far is just:

My sleeve is empty... no it isn't, boop on the nose!

Theft in the middle of the night

OoooOOOOOH these clothes are moving on their own! This chair is chasing you! So SPOOKY~~

#the invisible mail #griffin #look i know things escalate and all #but he can be SO SILLY #so impulsively too like this is never a GOOD IDEA my man #anyways him coming down in the morning and trying to distract attention from the ghost stories he's created by literally doing the #'LOOK AT THAT' *runs away* move is again so ridiculous....#tbf throw them under the bus for watering down their beer they deserve it. but still

pg. 196 (pb), Chapter 20, Harrow the Ninth

pg. 465 (pb), Chapter 50, Harrow the Ninth

anybody else think abt how gideon's parents both really deeply value poetry and prose? nobody? just me?

#fuck off lou #my post #tlt #the locked tomb #harrow the ninth #htn #john gaius #commander wake #every so often i think abt how similar wake & john are as people.#like pre-john 1:20 i think they probably would have liked each other.#omg you like poetry? //I// like poetry!!#//you// like calculated attacks on those in power to further a cause for environmental health and justice for the exploited common man??#you're never gonna believe this but--#just what john needs. another lesbian extremist for his lesbian extremist cult #au where wake is part of the pre-res gang #she's the one who keeps encouraging him to escalate escalate escalate-

A lack of a Hold-Up mechanic in strikers means that Zenkichi has never witnessed these kids corner and mug shadows for every little penny theyre worth. I think he would lose his mind. Hes trotting around the metaverse w teenagers that have too much experience holding shadows at gunpoint to get what they want. When did this become his life. Neko shogun throws out a snuff soul as an offering and Akira doesnt remove the gun from its face. ‘You can do better than that.’ What the hell do u mean??? Its a fucking cat! It throws another snuff soul on the ground in fear before Akira decides to finally lower the gun and let the cat run off. At least they arent killing the damn things w their backs turned.
