Survivor's Guilt [TW: POSSIBLE EYESTRAIN AND DEATH]

"What makes you so special?

What allows you to rise when everyone around you falls?

And ...

Do you blame yourself for it?"

People who say that Rupert's life got better after Henry broke out of prison don't understand what overcompensating or internal competition or probably extreme levels of guilt do to a guy.

Lowk a character analysis essay below cut, so if you're interest feel free to read lol:

Like be fr, yes, he did excel in his career even making it to the military as a high-ranking soldier is under a year. He made it big; he earned his name and his position. He won. But at what cost?

Who had to go missing, get hurt, or get killed, for him to be where he is today? How many dead bodies did he have to witness and step over in order to make it to his position? How many of his friends were ripped away from his grasp because of his job and the people he had to chase as a result?

How many times has he probably blamed Henry for all of it; the guy who broke out of prison under his experienced eye? Who robbed the Tunisian Diamond? Who betrayed the government while he was present? Who witnessed one of the best military members sacrifice his life for the good of everyone? How much do you think he blames Dave for by not checking the package and being negligent? Does he think Johnny caused his own death by being reckless during a chase? Does he blame the government for trusting a crook and bombing the mission?

He can point fingers all he wants, and he probably does. He's trying to protect himself, protect his ego, protect his mind. He does not want to believe he played a part on all these incidents that destroyed lives. Because deep down, he probably blames himself for everything.

... How many times do you think he blamed HIMSELF for his own negligence and arrogance? Did he blame himself for Dave, his partner, getting fired when he himself was allowed to stay and rise in his field? Does he blame himself for Johnny's death? For not being a good enough driver or not stopping mid-police chase to make sure his partner was okay? If he hypothetically suggested Henry for the Tophat raid, does he blame himself for ruining everything when Henry goes rouge? If Henry complies, does he blame himself for Charles's death by not being able to stop the Tophat takeoff beforehand?

He probably feels like he's never doing enough, so he overcompensates by exceeding expectations and rising quickly. Everything is does is to make up for his singular mistake to his record, and because Henry is well... Henry, he can never make that mistake up. He cannot win to Henry. He can never live down that one fatal error for the rest of his life.

How much does he carry on his shoulders because of his one mistake a year ago? Because if I witnessed what he had, I would also be crushed under that pressure.

TLTR: I hate this man, and I'll make sure he eats asphalt 💖

Rupert: What's with the bricks? Fish: Trauma.

Alt version without the noise and progress shots are right here.

Thanks for reading the yap sesh gang, expect more bc Rupert's so fun to draw in anguish. Beating him to death with that pole Henry used in EtP.

Have a good one ✌️✌️

I confess I'm skeptical about Hollywood friendships. I'm talking about everybody.

Anon 2: Istg if I see one more “Mackie and Seb aren’t real friends” or “I’m so disappointed Bucky didn’t get the shield and Falcon does” or “the tv series is gonna suck”, I’m gonna start a fucking riot. Feels VERY racist to me. I’m all in for Captain America Sam Wilson. All. Fucking. In! #falconisnowcaptianamerica #bestchoice #buckywillbejustfine

Anon 1 don't mean every one. She just means this one. Just the connection of Mackie and Stan.

Fandom will go out of their way to prove his friendship with Evans and be skeptical abt Mackie when they've shown you everything under the sun that they are friends.

Just admit you don't like Mackie and move on. I'm not gonna call racism. But the consistent denial even when presented with the truth on both sides,makes ya'll look a suspecting damn fool.

Le Chef

I don't know about you, but I don't run my house as a bed and breakfast. The only people that I would allow to sleep on my couch are friends...especially those that say they would bail me out of jail if needed.

Cosmic

You know how comfortable one has to be to fall asleep on someone else’s couch? As a fellow Southern African American, I know most of us just don’t do that. That is trust. That is intimacy. 

Let’s not forget a man letting another grown man cuddle up & get comfy on his expensive, leather sofa. No one but me gets to sweat on my couch. That’s love between friends right there.

Heroine

What am I missing here? Why is everyone so triggered by the fact that Seb and Anthony are friends? Why the fuck does it matter who his friends are?

And why do some fans feel the need to control everything in Bae's life with their own biases and narratives?

Vamp

Seb & Chris are work friends - you see them at work, you get along, you might go to a happy hour or work-related event together (or just see each other and are friendly) but you’re not friends outside of that context. That’s what they are.

Seb & Mackie are friends outside of that - so actual “RL” friends.

People can have both and it always drives me nuts when one or the other is deemed not valid. YOU CAN HAVE MANY TYPES OF FRIENDS!

Jeans Boy VS Motorcycle Dude

Right… right… RIGHT. I’m a strong believer of sequels, but certainly not this one (Tbh never thought that there would be a sequel and if you’re new here, you can read my past incidents at the same factory with Jeans boy, here).

No one asked for it, BUT IM GONNA GIVE IT TO YOU ANYWAYS. (this sequel is basically, is outshining with my bluntness. I probs gave my co-worker a headache)

You know, I never thought I would see Jeans Boy again, because I was not applied to work at that factory again, since that incident. So, it was a lost cause, but I ended up adding him on Facebook (YOLO amr???) But our conversation was quite dull, as in, we never had a conversation that lasted longer than 3 minutes because he didn’t seem that interested in talking to me lol. SO, I gave up on that (like usual). 

Fast forward 4 weeks later and I'm back at the factory again. This time, with 4 new substitute co-workers with the majority as girls (I'm a substitute worker, that's the only prominent way I can explain my position for my on/off work at this factory)

LORD BEHOLD a new male has appeared in the batch, with the looks given by god. He looks like the typical bad boy, taken out of a modern Grease movie honestly. I’m like;

The first day, we were in separate rooms, so I didn’t get to talk to him but instead gave him my side eye looks (ya know, checking out the goods). I didn’t see him, until after work. Casually walking towards my car and I see the dude walk outside like everyone else to find their vehicle.

HE HAS A MOTORCYCLE. 

As if the universe were trying to slay me, with the stereotypical bad boy. Didn’t make it any better, that he also waved at me while driving past me. Not gonna lie, my core was shaking. So obviously looked him up on facebook and no joke, he’s the guy who looks better in real life than in pictures (struggles honestly).

Now all of that, happened yesterday. Today, today is the real ride. Jeans boy is in the other room, working with his lil machine. So I happened to be working with Motorcycle dude, in the same room. At first, we stood next to each other but kept it polite with small talk like, how old he is, where he lives, about some old mutuals we didn’t know we had and where he went to school (fun fact, he went to the same high school/college as me, but I graduated two years earlier but I never noticed the guy). But the scent of his cologne istg, I honestly think he knew what he did to me. He had that teasing smile, laughed at my stupid remarks and jokes. One point, he leaned on a pile of unfolded boxes and just angled his head a bit with his deep brown eyes staring at me and smiling at me because I said something stupid (I’m probs delusional, that it was because of me or that he even tried), that was cute as fuck like; 

He’s also the first person, that I could hold eye contact with for more than 5 seconds. So like, we start talking some more, what series we’re into and what movies we have seen etc. Fun fact, he’s really bad at horror movies. As in really scared and I find that oddly funny. So I told him to watch “The uninvited” because I found that movie quite enjoyable, even tho it’s classified as “Horror” and that he should watch it. He then responds with “I don’t watch movies alone tho” (I know, I should have taken the hint… but I didn’t)

Somehow, we end up talking about his motorcycle and that he’s sweating while holding still, for example at a red light (lol I seriously don’t know how we got into that) and I said that he should be lucky that he didn’t have a person on the passenger seat (You know.. behind him, close and all), because it will probably make him sweat more (I mean, a human clinging onto him in a 30 degree weather??). He was just like, 

“That’s not bad at all, I just unzip my jacket a bit while driving” while motioning it with his hands. 

and that bitch fucking smirked at me. I still didn’t catch the hint, again. You should know, I am very thick headed. As in, very thick. So all I respond with, is “Gucci lol”. I mean, when has ErisDatingAbility.exe ever worked??

One of the substitute co-workers were puffing me and mimicking something that I couldn’t read like; 

“Y you so blunt, I can’t even-” 

HEADS UP. Jeans boy is back in the room and he was very persistent in working with folding boxes with me, which was the motorcycle dude’s work. 

So I’m like; 

“we’re too many, you should go up to the front where they need extra help” 

and he’s like; 

So, three people, one unfolded box pile and plastic bags. Frankly, we’re too many. So to strike up a conversation was quite hard in some aspects, that it felt like there was tension I couldn’t do anything about. Then we start talking about motorcycle dude’s vehicle, with different scenarios of what could happen and that he’s a girl magnet with that thing (true shit). OFC. Jeans boy has his cologne on too,

We start talking about the motorcycle thing again and we all came in discussion about fucking heat. That if we needed to have a second person behind someone, we would probs sweat more. Would you perhaps feel the woman’s boobs on your back all the time? Would you feel the man’s bone of the realm in your lower back?? So many questions, that were either dismissed or answered. I’m not telling you which one. But motorcycle dude is like, “It’s fun to have someone come with you on the ride, it’s a lot more enjoyable. Driving in high speed is also cooling you down, like the bypass road that is close to your house”

and my co-worker is giving me killer-eyes stabbing me in the back like; 

“Act. Or I will.”

and i’m like “Lol. Cool”

My co-worker dragged me to no end and made me talk to Motorcycle dude before going home today...

So... all in all... Guess who got a free ride on a motorcycle to work tomorrow....?
