Space station full of nosy buggers.

I showed my mom this scene and she said "I can see why people think they're gay. Look at him (Dan) clearly annoyed but still concerned for his (Herbert's) well-being"

their closeness in this scene already feels so intimate without them going back and forth grabbing at each other

Hello good morning and can I interest you guys with a Herbert West edit to Don't Lose Ur Head?

[mylesnotobrien]

Important things are happening (I'm making a Re-Animator calico critters set)

Left to right: Herbert, Dan and Meg

(I ordered a custom made suit for Herbert, it's arriving in a few days)

(all that space and they standin——)

(My beautiful queen Meg)

They should give Herbert the kind of character introduction that's like you hear his voice first, then you see a tall shadow and suddenly there's ominous music until the camera pans down on him and the audience finds out he's tiny

Also now that my fic is posted I can finally talk about one of my personal headcanons for Herbert West's background:

Hello good morning and guess who wrote Re-Animator yaoi (again)?

DEFINITELY not complaining😌

reanimated is cool, but the 45 minute danbert sex scene w dan whining and begging while fucking herbert was a shock, not complaining though !

[mylesnotobrien]

Also the part where Dan lied about having aids just to get past the cops

I think about this daily

[mylesnotobrien]

I imagine that there's going to be a day in their future together where Dan and Herbert are having some argument about their work for the billionth time, and Hebert will bring up Meg mid-way through their argument because he's toxic like that and instead of it usually working and manipulating Dan like usual, Dan is just unfazed by it. He just casually deflects it like "c'mon Herb you know that has nothing to do with this" and he just continues making his points. But Herbert's not listening. He's stunned. He's baffled that his tactic didn't work, because bringing up Meg usually wins him their fights and at the least makes Dan storm off so they can both cool down and forget about it.

But not this time. Not today. To anyone else this it would've been obvious to see that this was going to happen eventually because it's been years since the bride and even longer since the Arkham massacre. Dan's healed, reflected, and worked on himself (Maybe not fully but you get the point). He's moved on from Meg. But Herbert hasn't.

Meg was his metaphorical fish bait to hook Dan onto and reel him back in towards Herbert. But today he's left with the sudden realization that it didn't work and it's not going to work ever again.

"Herbert are you even listening? Yknow what, I know you're not so I'm just going up to start on dinner, I'll call you when its ready."

Dan leaves.

Dan might leave him; Herbert's mind tells him. He might leave Herbert permanently, forever, his mind reels.

If Dan's gotten over Meg, then that means Herbert's lost his biggest grapple to keep Dan around when things get tense between the two of them. He has nothing to hold over Dan's head filled with a guilty conscience, nothing to hold onto Dan with.

Of course, Herbert doesn't realize that Dan's gotten over Meg, Francessca, and all other women and people because he's completely moved onto Herbert. Wonder how long it'll take him to get his thoughts in order and figure that out. Probably awhile considering that when Herbert snaps out of his funk by Dan calling "Dinner's ready!" from the kitchen he checks his watch and realizes that he's been standing in the same spot and staring into space for the past 43 minutes.

[mylesnotobrien]

My headcanon about Dan's actions post-Bride is that he had been struggling to reconcile the image of heteronormative apple pie normality beaten deep into his psyche that he's terrified to break out of with his repressed bisexuality and secret depraved tendencies which were becoming harder and harder to ignore with every day he spends with Herbert, and he finally reaches a point in Bride where he realizes that he has to pick one or the other. Like if he stays with Herbert he's gonna want to go all the way down and never go back to a normal life, and the emotional momentum of escaping with Francesca combined with the fear and stress and resurfacing grief of losing Meg leads him to do something impulsive and drastic, in an attempt to make Herbert (and Dan's hidden feelings) disappear forever. Thirteen years and two divorces later, Dan looks reasonably well-adjusted to his coworkers but is honestly super depressed and misses Herbert desperately. He's done pretending suburban Americana is what he actually wants but is too tired and busy self-flagellating to know how to break out of the cycle, so when Herbert himself turns up at his doorway in the middle of the night, Dan's not angry or exasperated or scared anymore, he's just overwhelmingly relieved that the man he's been thinking about every day for twenty years is finally back in his life.....
