One of my favorite things about replaying In Stars and Time is the fact that, now that I've seen the official concept art for Loop, I can instantly identify any of Loop's dialogue portraits that feature their Absolutely Fake Smile. Their Seething With Rage expression, if you will. I always get a little horrible thrill every time those portraits come up, because it's always accompanied by some new insight into their character that completely flew over my head the first time.
Tumblr media
On a first playthrough, I didn't notice the difference. Loop was just smiling!! Look at how happy and smug they are! But now, I go through their dialogue and realize, "Oh. They are lying through their nonexistent teeth right now." And there is something so incredibly satisfying about that.

The Bright Side
Buster, trying to cheer the troupe up during the Sing 2 performance: Hey, look on the bright side! Things could be worse, you know!
Ash, incredulously: How?
Buster: How what?
Meena, exhausted: How could they be worse?
Buster: ...
Buster: Ok, they couldn’t, I lied. But at least we're alive! That's good news right?
Johnny, just so over it: *buries his head in his hands*

These kids don’t need to be housewarden, they need therapy 😑. Which makes me wonder if the concept of therapy even exists in TW. You would think Crowley would invest in a school counselor with overblot being such a prevalent problem, but no. Maybe MC could be the savior of Twisted Wonderland by reducing the number of incidents of overblot worldwide by introducing the concept of therapy and mental health.

if u saw the sketch of this earlier no u did not. also the dialogue is completely stolen off of tiktok which is why it might be a bit weird sounding without it playing in the back, but i thought it fit them and their internal struggles p well !
anyways i think abt that moment in paper in fire where jess visits brendan and i know it went awful but man i just wish they were rlly able to talk u know

Falling out.
Tumblr media
Yeah, Douglas would change his appearance at some point 👀
.
.
.
TW: Mentions of suicide and ableism.
.
.
.
"I can't believe you are doing this, Douglas! Not matter what you try to do, we'll always be brothers!!!" Donald shouted.
"You should have let me jump off that day!!!", Douglas thought aloud and could see how Donald's anger expression changed to a horrified one.
"You don't... you don't mean it, r-right?"
Douglas didn't answer, he just walked away.
Douglas has always seen himself as less than his twin brother, before and after knowing about his diagnosis. He was the imperfect twin, the broken one, the waste of potential... That's what the people around him made him believe while growing up.
He was convinced that he shouldn't have been born at all. His twin brother was all what their parents needed.
They even said that Douglas becoming an engine driver was totally thanks to Donald rather than because of his own efforts. This was so discouraging for him, no matter what he did, he was always gonna be less than his brother.
Some years passed and the changes in the Caledonian Railway started.
The same day that Donald received the news that he was gonna be transferred to the Island of Sodor, Douglas received the opposite thing: His locomotive was gonna be scrapped.
That was the last thing for Douglas. He was 25 years old and he tried to jump off a bridge. Donald arrived by pure coincidence since it was the route of his goods train. He saw his twin standing on the edge, staring at the water of the river.
He stopped him by grabbing the neck of his coat.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?", Donald yelled, his heart was beating so fast.
"You don't understand, Donald! You aren't the one whose engine is going to be scrapped!", cried Douglas.
Of course Douglas took the news very personal. Just imagine: There are changes in the Railway, your "Mr. Perfect" brother is being transferred to somewhere else with his engine while yours would be sent to the scrap yard and you will be unemployed...
His head was repeating the same quotes, some of them from his parents, some of them from the darkest corner of his mind.
"You are incapable"
"You are useless"
"You can't do anything right"
"You can't even work as an engine driver"
"Your brother is better"
"You are broken"
"You should die"
All those awful intrusive thoughts were constantly invading him. Making him cry in the middle of the night, making his work more difficult.
"You don't understand how it feels to be a failure before the eyes of everyone", Douglas continued as he sat down on the edge of the bridge. He took of his hat and stared at his engine's number: 57647
Donald just could sit next to his twin, he didn't know what to say so he was quiet for some minutes.
"You aren't a failure, Douggie", he finally said.
"Yes, I am, that's why my engine is gonna be scrapped while you are going to a better place..."
...
Donald had totally forgotten about that conversation. It was so distant but at the same time he could perceive all the feelings they went through. He thought that after years of working on the North Western Railway buried all those horrible events of their past.
They were working together almost every day.
Their engines were saved from being scrapped.
They had a found family.
Sure, they argued from time to time but it never went so far.
Life seemed to be perfect for both of them.
It seemed...
Douglas changed completely (at least on the surface). Once they were both proud of how they were so alike... now one of them pretends they were two strangers...
Donald was afraid that the arguments between him and Douglas were getting worse and more frequent, to the point that being brothers might not be enough to repair the cracks.
Douglas's voice was still present in his mind:
"You never listen to me!"
"You're just like mother and father!"
"I wish I was normal, you know!!!"
"Just because I need help it doesn't mean I am useless!"
"In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you do the opposite of whatever I said!!!"
.
.
.
.
It was so painful.

Seriously, my fave female leaders, inspirations and beloved characters have been through SO MUCH
Hera Syndulla from Rebels
Sabine Wren from Rebels
Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch)
Gamora (Guardians of the galaxy)
Shuri (Black Panter)
And my favorite character from my entire childhood Neytiri, from Avatar
Gosh, I think their struggles are the reason I identify myself so much with them. They have lost so much in so little time to recover, I wish I could give them hugs :(

Ever think about how fucking insane it is that Jason was 19 when he did his whole "make Batman murder Joker" plan? Imagine being a high profile mob boss and a zit covered college freshman comes in and rocks your shit before proceeding to commit domestic terrorism all because he thinks his dad doesn't love him

this might get an accidental double publication bc the web connection fails me, but still-
-this belongs to @nile-the-empathy-cleric, the author of the gorgeous Ego Death. this might also be the first commission of mine in three years that's not a slow thing brewing for a long-term friend.
anyway. them touches and tenderness. we all need this 💜

"I can see dead people." He mentions with a shrug, using the chopsticks to fish more noodles into his mouth.
Dick stares at him. "Huh."
"Is that why you help?" He asks, getting more spring rolls.
"Yeah. Once someone becomes a ghost, word gets out quick, and they come to me. Always tatling about unfairness and justice." The kid waves the words around, rolling his eyes.
Dick just pretens to he uninterested, despite his mind racing at the new info. He is piecing past moments together, every shadow leaping away, every note with tips, leads and—
Huh.
"Do you... like it? Doing all that?" Richard approaches thus carefully, brows furrowed at the kid opposite of him.
Danny moves his head, giving a 'so-so' answer. "It's not much to like, I can see ghosts, and they know it and use it. If it brings them to peace or whatever– well, that's just a plus."
Dick stares. He places his chopsticks down and looks at Danny worried.
In turn, the kid sighs. "Sometimes gifts become curses the longer you have it."
And Dick understands.
Mind made up, he throws a pair of keys at the kid, watching fondly as the other catches them with confusion.
"Next time use these, instead of entering through the window."
Danny mock-salutes with a shit eating grin. "Yes, Officer grayson."

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.
#i used to think it was romantic too and then i was like. now i see it as a HUGE red flag#writeblr#it is also almost EXCLUSIVELY said by immature ppl who think this is normal#fyi even if u think it's funny and ur like 'im an introvert it's just TRUE' like. you need therapy (ily tho)#healed introversion is just ''i would prefer to be by myself'' not ''i hate every person'' ... hate is not normal. that is not healthy#im sorry. i know it feels accurate. but if you're walking around with that kind of rage....#1. you're making a LOT of assumptions about every single person u have ever met. which is often unfair and unkind#and also usually involves judging people based on their worst moments or little mistakes#2. you are being unfair to the person who is ur ''exception''#3. there is a VAST difference between ''ur my favorite person'' and ''the ONLY person i like.''#idk i think this is just a personal bias thing tbh#im sure there are people who have this experience normally#but i have YET to find a man who thinks like this and ISNT absolute DOGSHIT. although tbh.... like. im sure he exists#when u hit like 30 some of the things that were once kind of hot now just sound fucking exhausting. like ''im in a band''#edit in the tags: i used to kind of be like this too. but the thing is that like. my life became so much more peaceful#once i started believing that people are generally good. like yes i am mad at the world at large#but it's just.... a very hard way to live. you're not a bad person or wrong for the ways other people hurt you and taught you to be angry.#but that anger will continue to hurt YOU. it will punish YOU. it will prevent YOU from making new deep connections. it will protect you yes#but it will also cause MASSIVE blowback. bc if you lose the One Person... your life will fall apart. i know this personally.#i really recommend just trying to be... cautiously optimistic instead. like. yes#people can be horrible and cruel and there are some communities (incels for example) that aren't worth that optimism#but i think like... most people will hold a door for you . most people want to help you find your wallet .#i hope one day you are able to find peace. i hope that rage eventually smooths over. i know how hard it is PERSONALLY#and i know what must have happened to you. and im deeply deeply sorry we share the same wound.#but i promise - sometimes we all need someone else to help us carry the weight. eventually the rage has to die so that we can let help in#i had to spend years biting at outstretched hands. i still often do. im still very wary . and my heart breaks that you flinch too.#here's the thing: i don't blame you. but we were both acting out of fear and pain. .... not out of healthy behavior. and ... change#was needed. i needed change too. rage was useful for a while. then it just left me isolated and bitter. i had to (with effort)#choose to let that rage go. and let people in . VERY SLOWLY THO LOL
