Tumblr media
ft. isagi yoichi, itoshi rin, itoshi sae, nagi seishiro.
synopsis. you were checking yourself out in the mirror, completely unaware that they were also waiting to use it.
note. idk guys i’m in a writing slump
cw. drabble, lighthearted fic.
wc. 0.7k words, not proofread.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
context:
the fitting room at this clothing store was ridiculously far away, a long walk from the section with good clothes.
isagi yoichi ୭ ˚. ᵎᵎ
he spots the mirror from across the aisle and beelines for it, hoodie in hand, ready to see if the color suits him. but then, you’re already there.
you were checking yourself out, not even a single piece of clothing in hand. turning side to side. tugging your own shirt up slightly to see how it falls on your waist. he stops dead in his tracks like he just walked into a crime scene.
“oh, sorry. you go ahead!” he said, way too politely.
you glance at him through the mirror.
“it’s okay, you can use it.”
“no! it’s fine! take your time! you were here first!” he says, way too fast.
you pull him by the arm to the mirror.
“it’s big enough for us both,” you say, resuming your inspection like nothing happened.
he panics for half a second, but then holds up the hoodie to see how it fits on him. he looked unsure and awkward.
“that looks good!” you said, giving him a thumbs up. “the design suits you.”
“really? i’ll get this one then,” he smiles. “thank you!”
he leaves with the hoodie and a brain permanently engraved with the moment your hand touched his arm.
itoshi rin ୭ ˚. ᵎᵎ
you’re trying to figure out a million ways to style the piece of clothing you’re holding, too concentrated to notice anything else.
rin is already standing behind you. has been for like a full minute.
he’s holding a jacket, one hand in his pocket, and staring directly into the mirror like he’s trying to set it on fire. it’s not intentional. he just looks naturally pissed off at all times.
you finally catch his eyes through the mirror, and got a little surprised.
“...do you wanna use it?”
“not in a rush.”
“you’ve been standing there for a while. we can share.”
“it’s fine.” he said, politely gesturing for you to continue.
you move to the side, making space for him, but he doesn’t move.
“...you can use it now,” you say, maybe a little bit intimidated by his stare.
he exhales. “thank you.”
then steps forward exactly half an inch. still unintentionally glaring. still scowling. still terrifying. you eventually leave him there in front of the mirror like a mirror demon.
itoshi sae ୭ ˚. ᵎᵎ
you’re holding a pair of jeans up to your legs, trying to imagine the fit, when he appears beside you. not behind you. not waiting politely. just there.
he’s holding up a puffer jacket, already looking into the mirror like you don’t exist.
you pause. blink.
“…hello?” you say, eyebrow raised.
you knew it was a public mirror, but an “excuse me” would’ve been appreciated.
“you’re not using the top half,” he says casually.
“…what?”
he gestures lazily. “you’re looking at your pants. i’m looking at the jacket. we can share.”
you don’t even know how to argue with that level of entitlement.
you stare at him.
“...right. obviously.”
you both looked at your reflections for a while.
“those don’t look that good,” he says, nodding at the jeans.
“neither does that jacket,” you reply.
he huffs a dry response, “okay.”
you go back to comparing colours and he was right, it didn’t look that good. he frowns at the jacket again. it really didn’t look good either.
“do these mirrors make everyone look weird, or just me?” he mutters.
you shrug. “probably just you.”
he turns, finally catching your eye in the mirror.
“you done?” you ask.
“no.”
after a moment of silence, you both walked away at the same time. it’s not friendly. it’s not hostile. it’s something in between, and way more interesting than it should’ve been.
nagi seishiro ୭ ˚. ᵎᵎ
he’s behind you. not quietly. he’s leaning against a nearby rack, yawning loudly like he’s seconds away from falling asleep.
he’s holding a hoodie by the hanger, looking like he wandered into the store by accident.
you’re too focused on checking your reflection to notice. until…
“wonder how long this’ll take…” he mumbles.
you turn. he’s looking straight at you. or past you. hard to tell with half-lidded eyes.
“oh— were you waiting?”
“…mm. maybe.”
“you can use it.”
he yawns again. “nah. too far. i’ll just ask. does this look good?”
he holds up the hoodie, barely even lifting his arm.
you stare. “...it’s fine.”
“cool.” he tosses it over his shoulder like that’s all the confirmation he needs.
he doesn’t even try it on.
did he come here to shop or nap?
you’ll never know.

Today I had lunch with my mom at a café, which is a thing we traditionally do twice a month, and partway through the meal she asked me quite casually whether I was on HRT because I allegedly looked "a bit booby". I was not prepared for this question in the slightest. For one thing while I have experienced nonzero boob growth since going on Œ six months ago (damn, six months ago...) my feeling is that it's very subtle, certainly well within the range of what most people would attribute to weight fluctuation if they noticed at all? But okay I'm willing to accept I might be underestimating that due to whatever cognitive biases, this still seems like a leap!
For context I have never said anything about my gender to anybody irl and I hadn't been planning to at any point in the near future. I feel like my mom would not have guessed this without having already been primed by previous examples of me being weird about gender, she's seen me wearing nail polish and skirts before, albeit not in recent years. So sure, it's a less dramatic revelation than it might have been. She knows I'm bi which isn't really evidence of anything but idk. Possibly she noticed that I've started removing my arm hair this year, I don't have a good sense of how noticeable that is. Last year my trans man coworker was going through a lot of gender healthcare drama and I mined that for conversation fodder a lot, possibly she intuited a more than merely neighbourly interest in the topic (but she specifically initiated asking for updates a lot too)? I am still very surprised! Obviously it's kinda validating but jeez. I had been thinking as though the pace of when I let people know about this would be entirely in my control for a long time; it seems possibly this was naive?
Well anyway it felt pointless to deny it so I told her yes. My mom is 65 years old and I would say not super knowledgeable about trans topics but she's also extremely live-and-let-live by nature and I've never known her to be other than chill when this cluster of topics comes up, so I wasn't super worried, but you never know when it gets more personal right. She seemed pretty calm about it and in fact the conversation moved back to other stuff pretty quickly, almost disappointingly quickly. She asked a couple of questions about it but not many. She seemed more-than-usually pensive to me for a little bit afterwards and I got the sense she wanted to know more but didn't feel on safe ground wrt what questions to ask, and I probably could have encouraged her more about that, but I wasn't sure how to do that without moving us towards a deeper conversation than I was really ready for, so idk. Nothing about pronouns was mentioned which I was glad about because I still don't fully know what I feel about pronouns, beyond that I wish they weren't a thing. But for the most part it just felt like a normal lunch with my mom, which I guess in terms of the spread of possible outcomes for this kind of event is pretty positive.
Still though--weird!! I thought I had a secret. I only kind of have a secret it turns out. How bout that.

something about Ford being book smart, but lacking common sense is so... charming (other than the negative side effects of that, ie: giving us space rabies!)
Having to explain a concept that seems like common sense to most, especially in a social context??? He's so awkward it hurts. And I love it
However, an unfair advantage he has is pretty privilege, as well as such an outstanding vocabulary that he's just unintentionally smooth no matter what he says. (IMO THAT PART IS CANON. HE JUST WAS SAYING STUFF IN THE SHOW THAT WAS SO HOT, HIS CONFIDENCE IS DISGUSTINGLY ATTRACTIVE)
Him missing social cues, especially flirting would be so frustrating, but it also would be so much fun to see how far you could push it until he finally caught on. AAAUUGH
Right?? I think it's fun to balance him with that aspect. The canon gives us a glimpse at that but it often frames it as being negatively neglectful, and while I do think he is neglectful at times, there's something really nice about taking the negative edge off of that and making it a bit more of a quirk in some ways.
It's also a nice way to bring him back down to Earth gently, too. He truly believes he's the smartest in the room and in most ways he is so it's understandable, but getting to softly backhand that assertion to him over something he isn't so good on, like emotional intelligence, makes for a good juxtaposition. It's a nice way of reminding him that there's always more to learn, no matter how high your IQ is.
Describing him as having pretty privilege is SO funny ilsjdjkdkdfdsf and true!!!!!!!!!! He is pretty! When I write him, I do really enjoy letting him shine within his area of expertise and letting that confidence come naturally to him, but then snatching it away when he has to step outside of his comfort zone. He comes across as smooth when he's on one about his passions but he comes off the tracks almost in a panicked way when it shifts into the social-emotional aspect of interactions. To me, that's very charming. I really like that he's capable of so much but he falters when he's trying to express himself beyond those limits.
My partner is smart with theory but is also autistic so struggles to handle social stuff, whereas I'm the exact reverse. Stepping in to take over the social reins is really fun for me and I think I end up writing that into Ford and Reader's relationship. Reader is much more social and outgoing than he is, and Ford admires that. Thinking on your feet and knowing the 'right' thing to say is difficult and it's a skill by itself.
For Ford, or at least the way I write him, I think you would have to say it directly to him in order to make him understand. He won't pick up hints particularly well unless you're especially obvious with them, for a number of reasons. He thinks you're listening to him yap on about physics because you like physics and you think he's a good teacher, not because you enjoy his passion or find it attractive. You have to outright say 'god I want you so bad' for him to clock that that's actually why you're listening to him speak. That's not to say he won't pick up on hints ever, but just that it isn't something he consciously looks for so doesn't expect to need to pick it up, if that makes sense.
And I like that. I'm a very direct person naturally and I don't enjoy having to go all around the houses to get someone's attention. I personally prefer being straightforward (tactfully) and have found things work out better that way. So idk, for me I don't want my actions to be read into, I'll tell you if I feel a certain way and go from there. And with Ford, he's kind of ideal in that sense. He seems like the kind of guy who respects directness even if he doesn't like the answer. He doesn't want to be strung along and lied to for the sake of social expectations. That just makes things harder for everyone.
There has definitely been some friction in the MtB universe over that, though.....

#fucki t#i saw it around the evening but i thought that if i start tagging i would lose the time i needed to make the final assignments#its almost 2:30 am lets see

Okay but does Peri KNOW that Dev has a robotic leg when he shows up? Something about the fact that Peri's wand is a cane and the fact that Dev could have kept his leg and just had a cane for the rest of his life instead tickles my brain.
I mean he doesn't know immediately, he wasn't like briefed or anything, but he basically lives in Dev's house so he definitely finds out. Peri doesn't comment on or react to it all though really, there's no reason for him to think anything of it, plenty of people have missing limbs, a lot of people are born without them, it doesn't necessarily mean anything sinister happened. He had no reason to pry or ask and I think Peri's lack of reaction to it helped Dev feel a bit more comfortable in his skin. (Not by much but.. a little bit.)

#my post#p#saw#saw iii#is that how its tagged..idk#as had been the case in the past now ive stared at thjs long enough n fucked around w it so long that i kinda hate it#but im releasing it anyway. into my blog#saw the quote on pinterest n already had the pic of her kneeling by her bed n went hunting for other ones#this is lowkey nothing but i spent time on it so w/e here goes lol#first pics are her being kinda set off by lynn saying john probs doesnt know amandas there#when shes hugging him post surgery i believe (or some other time hes not doin good i forget)#n that rly set her off n i almost included instead of one of those#one right after when john has to kinda call her off to leave lynn alone (i will make dog motif amanda post. one day)#3rd pic seems self explanatory. when we see her little room at the like jigsaw lair it always makes me go :(#knowing she probs lives there w john or wherever hes at yknow#i see her as v isolated besides her connection to john w makes that bond stronger not in a good way necessarily ofc#cuz its. not a good situation for her but like hes all she has kinda thing i think#last pic just had the vibe i was looking for n feels less right than 3rd one but idc now#after the blackmail letter from hoffman so she feels like she has to kill lynn like it said#n that clearly scared her enough shes willing to yknow murder someone even if john wouldnt approve#in the hopes that he doesnt find out she was sorta part of it w jill's miscarriage n assuming he'd want nothing to do w her then#<- there's so much going on at any given time. soap opera franchise i swear#im p sure u dont even find out til a later movie what the letter was abt or from who skdjdk#saw movies love to be like so this thing might not make sense but stick around for a couple more movies n we'll explain#or add context or a new character u didnt know was involved/alive all along#said affrctionately lol its just funny to me

One thing that, while not surprising, is always kind of interesting to me, is looking at the difference between how the canon (book canon, to be clear; the movie canon is pretty different on that point) presents Denethor's character, and the fandom perception and attitude towards the character
Like, the general fandom perception (whether coloured by the movies and its presentation of the character, or simply by the way he interacts with more likeable canon characters + fandom's tendency to focus primary on the most obvious feature of a character, or whatever) is pretty simply negative "lol fuck that guy" kind of attitude, or even at its most nuanced, still mainly focusing on the harm he did to other characters, with little regret for the character's own fate
Vs the text of the books puts in a fair amount of effort to highlight the tragedy of Denethor's character and what he could have been. It certainly lets his faults show and doesn't try to excuse them, but it also gives credit where it's due for his strength, intelligence, perceptiveness, and his dedication to the good of Gondor, and it presents his fate as a tragedy as much as any strong and respectable character tricked by an enemy and driven into despair and madness would be. It mourns his death as much as any other needless death. And even in his death scene, the narrative allows him to still keep a remnant of his resolve and strength of will, you can still see what he might once have been and what he could have been, even though it has been twisted to such a horrifying and tragic end result by his despair and madness
Like, yeah, Denethor is not a very pleasant person, we know he treated Faramir poorly and clearly favored Boromir (I think it's interesting that it's noted that Denethor probably liked Boromir better because Boromir resembled him less than Faramir did), that he seems to mostly have valued other people based on how he thought they could be useful to him, all of that. It's not shocking as such that fandom regards him as an asshole, because, let's be real, he was one
But he also wanted the best for Gondor, and loved it and its people in his way, and acted for what he believed to be Gondor's good according to the beat of his ability. And he is compared to both Aragorn and Faramir, said to be very like them in many aspects. The compassion and even respect shown toward him in the text of the books is not unearned
And just, yeah, reading the books, I really do feel for the tragedy in his character and story, and I think it's interesting to look at him from that more compassionate perspective the books tend to take.

loki/william rufus fic, where bill explains that as the second son he has inherited england while big brother bob only got the duchy of normandy, ha ha ha.
Tumblr media
#no offence to normandy of course i'm sure it's a fine duchy with many things to recommend it.#oh but wait! England Son then dies in a “Hunting Accident” and the next brother heads for the capital ASAP!#where is Bob? idk i think he was on crusade or something. BUT! he'll get to stay in england when henry keeps him captive for life <3#apparently robert got very into welsh poetry while imprisoned for being the older brother so maybe that made up for it all?#PLOT TWIST: henry the first of england leaves no legitimate sons and england ends up having a civil war when he dies.#btw it still throws me a bit that post-conquest kings have names like william and robert while the pre-1066 dudes are all named Aethelthing#*whispers* i kind of feel like asgard should be on a atheling system like pre-conquest england but i don't want to complicate things.#though this would explain why Thor 1 treats a Loki succession as a real possibility and thinks aptitude for kingship in any way matters.#whereas the later movies all assume it works on primogeniture (and none of us in fandom really absorbed the fact that when hela shows up#thor instantly accepts that she's ahead of him in the line of succession and objects to her evilness rather than her sex/gender.#so clearly if thor and loki have an older sister the OLDER matters more than the SISTER. right? yet sif is the only female warrior.#and while i think the 'kings NEED to go into battle!' thing was overstated by the past and by modern observers we do all go along with that#in the context of these films don't we? loki is unsuitable due to his *checks notes* weak fragile feminine form.#*looks at him and experiences a brief moment of cognitive dissonance before moving on*#and that's a story more of us want to tell (or i assume that's what's up) so we all just ignore The Hela Evidence don't we?)#(i can explain my own reasons if anyone asks but nobody will so i won't bother doing it in these tags.)#btw a friend once made a william the conqueror joke about passing the duchy on the left hand side which was FANSTASTIC#but explaining it would take far too long so i won't do that either. BUT IT WAS RLY FUNNY U GUYS (gender-neutral)!#history shitposting#plus the mcu because of course

time to stop and think woah i love my little sister so much.. i saw her yesterday and she told me she broke up w her boyfriend of 6 months a couple days ago and we talked about it for a while (i think hes a dick, she thinks its not that bad, im probably just overprotective of her lol but whatever) and she mentioned that during the breakup he said she had done nothing wrong in the relationship and it was all on him, which it was, and i was just thinking like. "yeah obviously. youre the one person i know who has literally no flaws." like i thought about it for a sec and i cant think of a single trait of hers that i find annoying or that causes me problems or whatever. the only times ive ever found her to be like, a bit too harsh or moody or something is when shes responding aggressively to our mom, and having grown up w our mom i honestly cant blame her at all cause ik she can be really hard to bear with sometimes lol. but like. i dont think weve ever had a single fight in our lives yknow. its rare and precious to have someone so great in your family and im so glad she is there :)

can i verbalise a selfish thought for a moment. dont read the tags if thatll bother you or anything
#what with all this talk of colonisation and whose land what is it does make me wonder about what the bigger voices in these convos would#have to say about my country. like im genuinely curious bc idk how to categorise us at all. context bc i dont expect anyone to know:#the indigenous people of the land i live on were the arawaks & lucayans. however when this land was first colonised they were all genocided#and who are now known as 'bahamians' were brought over on ships. and then somehow we went from the spanish to the english who colonised us#as well. now my worry is purely hypothetical bc we are an independent and sovereign state right so there's no 'threat'#but would we be considered 'indigenous' ? i can't think we would??#but maybe my issue is that i'm looking at this philosophically rather than politically. cause politically we probably would#but while the us-israel-colonisation convo is a political one the stances are philosophical so ??#like (again. hypothetically) if the same thing were to happen here ig i just wonder how we would be dealt with#and then the land ownership convo as well baffles me & it has for a while. since at least 2020 when the whole 'cottagecore is bad' convo#took place with the arguments that the aesthetic romanticised stolen land and i wondered even then like ? are we in the same position??#is the land still considered stolen if the people inhabiting it were displaced themselves?? and didn't steal it??#and moreover if the people it was stolen from no longer exist to take it back?? man idk#im stunningly bad at articulating my own thoughts so if this was a mess im sorry and thanks for making it this far#and also pls tell me if this comes off in the same light as americans making this about their election. i really dont want it to. im just#thinking. i guess idk#stop talking abbie

why write Bad. like why do that.
#i was worried that my i initial interpretation and resulting loss of my mind was just#well i was worried i interpreted it through a very white perspective. sorry. sorry about that#but idk... i'm continuing to think about his perspective and see it more in context#and while i can now more readily see that he was in fact bad and in what ways he was bad#it still reads as funny to me.... right? whether he means it or not it's funny RIGHT? im BAD (^BAD BAD^) im BAD (^REALLY REALLY BAD^)#well i know i'm not crazy#Prince saying i'm not singing 'your butt is mine' to you and you're certainly not singing it to me'#like it's way overdone and ridiculous#....RIGHT?#and i get like. he was trying to rebrand the word 'bad.' the peter pan of pop is STILL the peter pan of pop but he wears buckles now#it still means rebellion! but in kind of the other direction#i have no linear point i'm making here i'm just ruminating ig#trying to figure out if i overshot before. when i first freaked out#i don't think so#i think actually. michael jackson was a really interesting and multi-faceted and shrewd artist#he doesn't let you know how much He knows. yknow?#like. looking more feminine than ever he dons the leather and buckles and says he's bad.#(which... badass. tbh)#there's no acknowledgement or engagement with THAT side of things ok his part#and it's like. so........ wh. how intentional was that? he's more aware than he lets on...#it's like if a stupid simple little song were soooooo complicated#bro these tags are riddled with typos also i'm embarrassed to talk about my ignorance#luckily this is my private little journal. that anyone can see

God help me deal with Sagittarius moons
#soooooo dogmatic and rigid sometimes#like Jesus Christ man do you know how insufferable you’re being#I think especially with an earth sun#lol not this being about my flatmate but idk man#what do you mean straight men might have a biological instinct to feel disgusted towards gay men kissing??#have you never heard of a societal learnt response#bro you’re a gay man and a psychology student what are you ON#and that it’s the “quote on quote progressive thing to do to say that it’s down to society#like broooooooooo#even if there was some of instinct wouldn’t that just be tribalism and fearing the unknown#which is shaped and can be reshaped within our cultural contexts#not some fear of gay men specifically kissing wtf#ahhh like he’s my friend but this is what getting to know people is like#lol sorry tags so long I was just so mad about his stupid argument#also omg I mean okay this is an argument that a lot of people make tbh#but you know those atheists who seem to make it their job to point out quote on quote logical fallacies in people’s arguments for religion#like broooooooooo how big does your head have to be to not even consider that religion is something bigger than yourself and by viewing it#through that empirical lens isn’t necessarily wrong#it’s just not the be all end all#and you don’t get to tell people that their argument is objectively wrong#it’s your opinion#also omg Palestine and Israel and how quote on quote#hamas have been hiding in hospitals and so when Israel bombs al shifa it looks bad on them#but that’s just the narrative the media wants to push#and it’s like dude give me one (1) mainstream newspaper that is supporting Palestine#what narrative??? from corporations??#and even if that is unequivocally true#does that give Israel the right to keep on killing people?#no!!!!!! this is a 70 year ongoing oppression#and his argument well it’s not been ruled a genocide yet so we can’t throw that word around

Thinking a LOT about Lucifer in the latest Hazbin episode. Idk what I was expecting but not this??
As I was watching my immediate thought was just "huh... Lucifer is kinda of weird..." but as the episode went on I realized the issue
the dude is off the chain depressed, like he says it as a joke but holy cow it is SO BAD
He's manically just creating rubber ducks cuz his daughter really like it that one time but it's empty, it's never good enough but he keeps doing it, maybe cuz he doesn't know how to pass the time otherwise.
Tumblr media
like I get the feeling he HAS better things he SHOULD be doing than making rubber duck after rubber duck. At first I was like, "Bruh why isn't the king of hell doing anything?" aaaaand then it became clear...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The dude is disassociating so bad he can barely hold a conversation let alone remember information. He clearly WANTS to, he wants to be involved with his daughter so bad, he wants to care about the things she's doing so bad, but his depression keeps interfering. It's like he can only hear every other word and he grasps onto the ones he does hear semi-out of context. Like you can see every time he catches something that he hadn't before and he just "well shit I didn't catch that part"
and that's why he reacts so weird when people talk to him. He is struggling so bad to engage with the conversation he's only getting 50% of it
Tumblr media
does that look like the face of a man who knows what the hell the conversation is even about??? he is STRUGGLING
Tumblr media Tumblr media
like Charlie spent so long telling him about the hotel, and he STILL didn't understand what she wanted. Yeah it comes off as ditzy but literally I've been in that position where your brain just "nope, not doing this right now" and nerfs your conversation comprehension. So as someone who's BEEN in that position, to me it feels exactly like what he's dealing with. He's sorta engaged with the conversation, but only as much as his brain will allow
For example, when I'm dealing with this, this is what someone talking to me feels like this where the crossed out parts are what I missed and bold is what I catch, "Hey! You know I was thinking for dinner we could either make some chicken with rice? But if you don't feel like cooking, pasta is super easy and you love that right? What do you want to do?" you can kinda get that someone is trying to talk to you about dinner, and towards the end you get the impression that they asked something that needs your input so you can decently put 2 and 2 together and try and pass off, but crucial bits were left out, I would have no idea that either chicken or pasta is in the conversation only having heard "rice". When someone is just talking at me, I can decently pass off as being engaged but the second I'm required to participate in the conversation I'm screwed. Seem familiar? At which point I have 2 options, try to give a bullshit answer, or admit that I missed what they were saying and ask them to repeat
Lucifer, unfortunately, is trying so damn hard to hide that he's dealing with like 24/7 dissociation, so he can't admit that he's missing entire chunks of the conversation, hence his really weird replies. He does eventually get the full picture and then he and Charlie start having the real conversation
Also, the Alastor/Lucifer rivalry was hilarious but also really indicative of more of what Lucifer is dealing with
Tumblr media
Alastor is, unfortunately, really good at picking up people's insecurities, and thanks to Charlie's description earlier and watching Lucifer clearly trying to overcompensate, he immediately picks up on the fact that Lucifer KNOWS he struggles to be a good dad (we know cuz it's cuz of the depression, hard to be engaged when your brain keeps turning off) and decides to rub salt in the wound by pretending he's been acting as a surrogate father to Charlie. Now why Alastor decided to pick a fight with the king of hell is beyond me, I do not understand Alastor (and I LIKE IT) (maybe it's cuz Alastor thinks he's hot shit and was expecting Lucifer to at least have heard of him but Lucifer just treats him like a nobody? who knows)(why would Lucifer listen to radio anyways when he can't even pay attention to a conversation it'd just be white noise)
But yeah I just was expecting someone who oozed either charisma or presence and instead I got a depressed dad who's dissociating so bad he can barely function and be present in his life. The only thing it seems he CAN do is make rubber ducks cuz his daughter really liked it that one time
Tumblr media
Idk Lucifer is tragic to me. Whatever the full details of what heavan did to him absolutely broke him and he can't deal with it. He's aware of it, and he doesn't know how to fix it, so he tries to over compensate and sorta makes an ass out of himself but no one says or does anything cuz this guy is supposed to be THE king of hell
Suddenly it's making a lot more sense why he just rolls over and lets heaven do what it wants and even told Charlie to go in his place the start of the show. He's not in any headspace to hold a basic conversation let alone negotiate! He didn't even know who Alastor was, he's been so out of touch
idk I like him, he seems sweet, I hope Charlie brings some light back into his life. He really needs to get out of that rubber duck room
