I'm researching the era when Alastor was alive right now to get a better idea of both his character, the life he lived before Hell, and to hash out a backstory for him.
And so, apparently, Alastor lived through the Prohibition (which was basically the United States government illegalizing the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcohol because they thought it was the cause of a lot of domestic violence and child abandonment).
Alastor canonically died in 1933.
Do you know how long the Prohibition lasted?
From 1920-1933.
ALASTOR LITERALLY DIED THE SAME YEAR ALCOHOL BECAME LEGAL AGAIN. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW BITTER HE MUST'VE BEEN?
The Prohibition officially ended on December 5, 1933, and now my headcanon is that Alastor died December 6, 1933. Literally the day after he could legally drink all the booze he wanted.
I am learning a LOT about New Orleans and the era Alastor lived through (including the gay community in the city at the time) which has been a lot of fun, and I just wanted to share that tidbit because it is so fucking funny to me.
idont care if your durge was having crazy eroguro sex with gorty can you get them to put some pants on and tell me about their sibling relationship with orin. please.
every single time wolverine opens up and lets someone in they die
whether it be the family in the movie Logan who accepted his “mute” daughter and his sick “father” into their homes with no judgement or the older couple who saw a glimpse of their son in the crazed, naked man in X-Men Origins— Logan was hesitant to accept their help. With age it got more difficult— he tried his best to refuse and failed only because Charles begged for him to relax just for a moment. And both times it ended with everyone around him dying.
as Logan walks through Wade’s front door he doesn’t share the look of concern as he wore in the past movies. He looks content. Because for once in his life he’s found someone who also can’t fucking die. He found someone who, even if he does get shot or stabbed, will get back up and be by Logan’s side once again. And I think that’s so cute.

another interesting piece of exchange between mhin and leander that caught my eye 👁
indeed, it seems baffling that leander, our reliable man, our nice guy, the nicest of the nicest, just forgets to warn mc about such a tiny little detail, easily forgettable for sure — that eridia's streets are unsafe at night 💀
he quickly covers it up by flirting — and boy, can i wait (can't, need this game right now) to see more of such instances, because he seems to master this craft, and it is working on most people, — hinting at mc's beauty and/or the intimate (and it is intimate for mc, whether you like leander or not) moment they shared.
but do you know the most important, tasty nuanced thing this tiny, blink-and-you-miss-it dialogue reveals? leander doesn't care about mc, about their life and safety; he's niceys, it's all just an act. sure, cap, you might say, we already know leander is a manipulative titty shit, what's new? but look at it another way: we know this because rss kindly backed us up with all this additional info and content so we don't starve to death while waiting for the release (rss, i would have gone through content drought anyway. this is not a shade, take your time, i love you). now imagine playing this game for the first time without a pile of lore stacked at the back of your mind and seeing these discrepancies in his behaviour (check out my previous post on this), foreshadowing that he's not as good as he seems and his path might be dark and gritty as hell.
and now, my fellow leander girls/gays/whoever else is there, imagine how it would feel when leander cares (faints).
love the whole idea of vaggie and charlie only kissing on screen AFTER vaggie's true nature has been revealed bc that makes the whole reveal more impactful like charlie still loves and cares for vaggie despite knowing she's an angel and they finally no longer have any secrets between them so they can kiss while being wholly genuine to themselves yk
while i 100% understand being sad we didn't get to see dazai laugh at chuuya during their reunion in the anime, i kinda like both versions of the scene tbh?
chuuya getting angry dazai didnt react is just as funny to me, and i love the implication that chuuya is like "if im going to do something this stupid, at least enjoy it or act like you enjoy it” i also like to think the reason dazai stayed quiet was because he was just in shock he actually did it .. like brother was Not about to release information that would cause the downfall of the mafia & that was keeping him alive just because chuuya wouldn't do a silly pose and voice. i swear i can see his stupid face (i mean this in the most affectionate way) he probably had in my head rn
