tfw you take the y-bocs online ocd screening test three (3) times just to get 29 (out of 40) every single time and your loud shitass brain is still like. no actually though what if you’re exaggerating it. what if you’re playing it up for attention

i am sure others will say this better/more cohesively but this was the general narrative i got from All That:

The black parade gets pulled back to perform + also be the ones narrating/directing executions. they are also the ones providing a soundtrack to the nuclear war that is going on around them.

Gerard is resisting this, as seen by how he mocks the guy with the rose and gets slapped for it, then takes off his jacket and reads a book and then gets literally manhandled back into his jacket for teenagers.

teenagers is very specifically the soundtrack to propaganda the band is being forced to perform, with commercials/reality tv/talk show clips going on behind them.

this is followed up by a an angry rendition of disenchanted, where the very prominent dictator and flag imagery serve as an example of exactly what the band is disenchanted about/what they oppose but are being forced to promote.

In famous last words the band, lead by gerard, make a stand against the dictator and refuse to participate. as a result gerard is executed onstage and the rest of the band dragged away to meet a similar fate.

EDITED TO ADD:

prev yes this is an important addition!! especially bc the deer was sort of the symbol of draag but!!! it decayed!!! it rotted away to nothing!!! there’s definitely meaning there as well! ​like. rogue 1 kinda vibes. they all died but their resistance was instrumental in bringing it down.

I have so many thoughts . All the time . Too long ramble about Danny down below ↓

My Deltarune and Danny Phantom obsession has begun to leak into each other and I genuinely can’t help but think about how much (although vaguely) Danny’s mirror character arc would that of WEIRD ROUTE Noelle.

Because, well, both of them are originally very easily frightened kids. Danny’s considered a massive coward by MOST of the kids at school. In S2 E1, when Danny has his memories wiped, we even SEE how he’s genuinely react to Ghosts if he weren’t a halfa. Run away screaming .

But then I thought… isn’t his confidence kind of superficial? Not in the way that he’s, like, egotistical or whatever. His ego is very typical of a traumatized and slightly annoying teenage boy. But he GETS his confidence from fighting ghosts, aka, via violence. Sure, he has no “player” esque entity guiding him, BUT… there IS someone who WOULD gladly take that role……. (It’s Vlad, it’s always Vlad)

In the later seasons, Danny becomes more pacifistic (and especially in the AGIT comic), but he started out a wimpy kid and got more confident by exerting violence against other Ghosts. It’s kind of got me wondering if his character arc would have ended up a one to one with Noelle’s, had he taken on Vlad’s apprenticeship, or if Vlad had found out about him being a halfa earlier on.

In a way, the only reason Vlad DIDN’T get Danny under his thumb is because 1. He threatened his family, and 2. Danny had fought enough Ghosts, gotten confident enough, gotten STRONG enough, to not be as easily controlled as he otherwise would have . I dunno, just food for thought :,)

Needlessly close reading and long commentary on chapter 57 and how the audience actually has an extremely limited view on what Marcille has been like over the course of her life.

I am once again thinking about how pre-dungeon Marcille is so quiet and stoic that she seems like a completely different person. How jarring chapter 57 is for the audience. Like you have Marcille, who has been just the most blindingly expressive person with resting baby face

And then the chapter drops a title page of Marcille hearing from Falin for the first time in four years and it's like.

Who is that. Genuinely. Would you even realize that's Marcille without the context clues?

And then the chapter just keeps coming in with the sucker punches.

We have SEEN Marcille meet strangers. It was never with this understated of a smile.

literally who the hell is this. the few times the audience gets to see some Signature Marcille Faces that they're used to is when she finally gets to see Falin again

when she's testing out her new spells

(and when Laios and Falin are fantasizing about her being their damsel in distress, funnily enough)

And then finally. Finally you get to a fully recognizable Marcille when she fucking DIES and comes back to life to geek out about necromancy.

We know she loves magic. We know she loves Falin. So it's not so surprising that she wouldn't be able to keep a mask up when thinking or talking about the things she loves. But why the mask in the first place? Where does it come from? It's tempting to think that, maybe, Falin's departure just hurt her so much that it turned her into a quiet person.

But that's only half true. If you go back, the first instance you see of this incredibly mild personality is actually introduced much earlier, in chapter 17.

What if she was always like that. What if her default after her father died was to hold people at arm's length, to never really emote past being polite and friendly. What if Falin was the first person who was able to bring her out of her shell, and when she left, Marcille just went back to how she was.

And when comparing her detached demeanour with someone else...

It's not exact, but wouldn't you say there's a resemblance? Wouldn't you think she might be trying her best to imitate what she saw of her own mother working as an accomplished mage?

It would certainly explain why she's hiding behind her portrait in her nightmare, at least.

We aren't told that Marcille has been distancing herself from everyone around her using a mature and dignified personality she modelled off her mother. But we sure as hell are shown it, I think.

“I really like that one (romantic) movie from 2011 that James McAvoy was in where he mostly just pines for his red-themed counterpart throughout the movie while said love interest is destined to be on the other side of the growing conflict going on that is bigger than the two of them” my guy WHICH ONE?!

Another link to this post. Meet the parents style.

So, Danny and Jason have been fake dating for a while now, and ended up marrying each other solely for tax benefits. Also, they got cool ass fucking friendship rings that they just couldn't not wear everywhere and being married is convenient so...

Anywho, so Jason has met Danny's parents but Danny hasn't met Jason's parents. Danny knows that he has some ties with the vigilantee scene due to being a Crime Lord-he still doesn't know what to think of his parents connecting the dots immediately when they only met him once while it took him more than that while living with the guy.

He thinks Jason may have been an ex-vigilantee at some point before turning to crime.

Then Danny gets blinded by rich people aura when he finds out that his bestfriend is the long thought dead child of Bruce Wayne. Frankly, he's insulted.

You mean to tell him that his could've been buying ice cream from that high class place all this time!? He shook (literally he grabbed and shook him) that point into Jason, he doesn't care that Jason never told him he was rich but he could've at least bought some high class ice cream once in a while.

Jason who was busy solidifying his power as a crime lord, avoiding his family and making sure not to leak his identity at all: I'm a literal crime lord, and the only thing you care about is me not buying you ice cream?

Danny: YES!!!!

Jason: Dork.

Right anyways, so Jason takes Danny along to meet Bruce and his fam but did say as soon as he started being uncomfortable they're leaving. The batfam is a bit blindsided by Danny, because they thought Jason was bringing his partner but its good to also get a feel for Danny's personality.

Danny and Jason did what's normal for them when Danny starts getting comfortable around the manor full of things that cost waaay more than his rent. Like half-heartedly insulting each other, being snarky, leaning on each other and other such things.

The batfam start thinking that there's more there than they know of. So they start watching a bit closer and ask a few round about questions that fly over Danny and Jason's heads. They just forget they're married often, unless it's regarding taxes.

All of this sends the wrong message when they walk into the same room and, being nosy, one of the batfam comes up to the door and uh. They hear the bed moving quite a lot.

So.

Meanwhile, Jason is trying to wrestle with Danny because this man does not pick a lane. He'll either be the human octopus (who is cold as hell) Jason has ever seen, he'll try to kick him off the bed in his sleep as if Jason personally offended him in some way, or he'll sleep in some wacky position that interrupts Jason's sleep. The last one is tied to the other two, however.

So, Jason has to frequently wrestle this man into a proper position where they both manage to get some sleep and it wouldn't have been so bad if Danny wasn't a goddamn sleep fighter. He would know, he had to nurse a bruised jaw for a few weeks.

Why do they sleep together? Listen, when you're in an apartment with not a lot of money, you gotta cut costs where you can alright?
