“If you think sparing children is weak, then you have no idea what real strength is.”

Because the first time Kai ever learnt what true strength was, was through protecting a child.

The first time he ever found himself, was through protecting Lloyd as a child.

To spare a child more suffering is something I think Kai understands far more than anyone else.

thinkin' abt a little john wick conclave au where thomas lawrence is an aging assassin who keeps trying to retire but then is forcibly brought back for "one last hit" (first said to him half a dozen hits ago). lawrence is tired and depressed and he might be really good at his job (and that might be the only thing he's good at) but that Saddens him. because is his only purpose in life to be a Butcher?

not to mention he just recovered from prostate cancer and is now thinking a lot about the afterlife and god and sin etc etc. he's sure he's destined for hell no matter what he does now. is there even any point in changing?

one day he's in rome, surrounded by all these churches. and he enters one. he goes into a confession booth. every week, he confesses minor sins that turn into lovely but frivolous discussions with the anonymous priest, who lawrence can only identify through his gentle voice and bright, easily elicited laugh that reminds lawrence of morning birdsongs. over the weeks, this blossoms into a strange kind of friendship.

finally during a discussion about their favorite kinds of tea, lawrence interrupts the priest's recommendation of kahwah, which they had so often in their time in kabul, and was so delicious, and they just can't find anything close to what they had here, isn't that a shame, and i beg your pardon, what??

i kill people, lawrence repeats. all the time. i want to stop but i can't. i want to retire but they won't let me. i'm afraid being a murderer is how i spent most of my life, and i'm afraid it's how i'll spend the rest of my years, too. i'm the lowliest of sinners. i'm the evil that should be wiped clean from the earth. if god cast me down into the fires of hell for eternity, again and again, i would gladly welcome it.

and there is a heavy silence during which lawrence tenses, waiting for a horrified outburst or some rage.

but the priest says, with infinite compassion in his tone, you are still here on earth with us. and so god, in his mercy, has given you time to beg forgiveness and find redemption. make amends, however you can. take no more life, not for any reason. you say you want to stop. then stop. i believe you have good in your heart. you would not have come here if you did not.

thomas says, yes, yes i will, i swear on His name. i'm sorry for having wasted all your time these past weeks, i should not have done so.

and finally he says, goodbye. because there's no point in returning and attempting to continue this friendship, not when the priest must be so disgusted and would want nothing to do with lawrence any longer.

the priest says nothing in return and it hurts but lawrence knows he deserves it. he deserves far, far worse, and god, why can't he be punished now or just die and suffer eternal torment, and then, maybe, maybe, his soul could feel some bloody relief. but the priest said, make amends. can't make amends if you're dead.

so lawrence returns to his miserable apartment, to try and make amends, whatever that means. he decides to leave rome and begins to pack. he wanders the streets in a daze and gives all the euros he has on him to a beggar. on saturday, the day he would've gone to confession, he buys kahwah from a bemused shopkeeper.

he returns to find his next assignment on his kitchen counter in the form of a usb stick. he doesn't want to open it. but if he leaves it alone for too long, they'll send agents to track him down and he'll get an earful from aldo. better to open the assignment and fool them now. he'll disappear from rome right after.

lawrence plugs in the usb stick. there's a name he doesn't recognize. he clicks through the research on his next victim that ray had meticulously assembled. there is a video. he hits play. a voice starts speaking. and lawrence spills his hot cup of kahwah all over his keyboard and trousers but he doesn't care because fuck it all, he does know his victim after all.

it's the priest he sat next to week after week, chatting about the merits of herbal medicine and whether agatha christie or arthur conan doyle wrote better mystery novels and about the incompetence of world governments. it's the priest he just confessed to about his true nature, that he wasn't just some englishman adrift in rome, but a cold-blooded killer. it's the priest that heard this and offered him a way out, anyways.

it's vincent benitez.

the video continues, as benitez smiles and waves at a young child, his dark eyes luminescent and kind.

now he has a face and name to the voice, lawrence first thinks, in a daze. he’s even more beautiful than i imagined him to be.

his second thought: what the hell did benitez do to piss somebody off that badly that they want him dead?

OK Brennan, if you aren't gonna let me have Aelwyn posted up in the manor at all times, having her use her dramatic villain skills to protect Adaine before going off to teach middle schoolers is the next best thing I could have hoped for. What a mental image--Ms. "I Came Here To Fuck" teaching cantrips to eleven-year-olds. Wild.

Hans stuttering while saying “it’s not the chivalrous way” in response to escaping through the tunnel at Maleshov is, of course, adorable—but he genuinely is trying to protect Henry. We now know that Hans has an obvious fear of the dark and cramped spaces because he mentions he might faint or go mad in the tunnel.

This would slow them down immensely and risk not only his and Vauquelin’s re-capture, but Henry’s capture and potential death. Hans’ idea to go straight to the stables was actually the best option for everyone involved.

It’s easy to see it as Hans being bratty, scared and selfish, and while he’s definitely scared, he tells Henry to trust him because he wants to protect him above all else.

“Why the hell can’t I save you once for a change?”

Hans doesn’t even realize how many times he’s already saved Henry’s life.

I love how Leon wore protective gear once in all the games. He is heavily protected in 2 (the remake at least) because it’s a form of riot gear. But he still said fuck a helmet because that would mess up his hair (I assume).

4 is just normal outdoor outfit. He’s out for a hike in a war zone.

Business casual in 6. He had time to put on more protective stuff but he went for an outfit he would wear in the office.

Reminder: Peaceful protesting is legal because it gets nothing done.

Luigi Mangione made the ruling class afraid of the working class with his violent protest.

There are more of us then there are of them.

Someone just reminded me of the time when Carlos and Yuki crashed in Baku and Yuki was stuck in a blind corner so Carlos drove back onto the track as a way to block others from accidentally driving into Yuki

Lu Guang is stronger than me fr because if I watched Vein kill Cheng Xiaoshi in a previous timeline, I’d never let them interact again. New timeline? It’s on sight. The moment I see Vein, I’m knocking him out. He won’t even get a chance to lay eyes on Cheng Xiaoshi.

I don’t remember where this quote was from but there’s a line that goes “I was looking through rose colored glasses for so long, the red flags just looked like the way to go.” And I think that embodies Curly’s view point in life and specifically about Jimmy a lot. Not to mentions a world where he actually makes it out of the Tulpar.

there’s something about katsuki looking at deku in the backseat through the rearview mirror and when I articulate what that is it’s so OVER
