The air quotes killed me. Cass knows full well that man's life outside the suit is a sham.

PART 1 PART 2

minor characters and Nervous!

took a lot of time to finally finish these for some reason i take suggestions if you want to see some other characters as well :) descriptions below 🔽

Ajay Loner - Kaylynn Langerak

To pass the time between shifts, Ajay enjoys counting dust particles on the bookshelves. Recently he has found himself providing “additional services” in after work hours. Kaylynn has come to Strangeview hoping to find some new inspiration for her landscapes. Will she be successful or will the odd things that always seem to happen here drive her away?

Crystal Vu - Gordon King

Crystal Vu, better known by her username "xXxcrystalflyxXx", has gained quite a reputation in the dark web. Is her new partner "forkbender47" skilled enough to hack into the government's database undetected? Gordon is a renowned scientist known for various diabolical inventions. Only the brilliant Caliente sisters could rival his genius; it is rumored that he stole numerous blueprints straight from their lab.

Nervous Subject - Pleasant Town (Left) and Stangeview (Right)

Neat and athletic are two qualities that describe the future heir of Specter Industries. He enjoys a variety of activities from playing catch to tossing football.

A slightly-crazed young man wandering the streets of Strangeville. Seems to be twitching and blinking a lot.

"What Gordon had gone through was immense hurt. I mean at first he was disbelieving, and then almost inconsolable"

How does one justify a betrayal? Do you think decades later you could stare at a camera and talk about how heartbroken your ex best friend closest ally was when you helped his greatest counterpart, the person he had thought of as his greatest supporter (and why wasn't that you?), stab him in the back and steal his lifelong goal out from under him, and not regret it?

Could you convince yourself that it was necessary for the good of the party? Could you convince yourself that that made it worthwhile?

And now I will make the necessary connections to Julius Caesar yet again (hold out no hope for consistency in character assignations between posts, they're all Caesar at some point, trust me)

"If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar’s, to him I say that Brutus’s love to Caesar was no less than his. If then that friend demands why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.”

Caesar trusted Brutus completely, he was his greatest helper and closest friend. Their relationship was built on such love and trust that his support was never questioned. Cassius won Brutus on warnings of danger and promises of prosperity for the city-state. Brutus betrayed Caesar because he thought it would be better for Rome.

"Et tu Brute?"

It is strange then that even in the upholding of that betrayal you cannot help but look to him. Cassius may have won Brutus but the betrayal was Brutus' to enact and Caesar's to experience. Cassius may feel the fire of his actions for the rest of his life but he will not feel the hints of reconciliation, for that honour rests only in the one whose betrayal was so dumbfounding in the first place. It was not the counterpart who the world might have suspected to take that step, but the dearest friend who silently and tragically supported him that drove that final dagger home.

"I rather tell thee what is to be feared than what I fear, for always I am Caesar, come on my right hand, for this ear is deaf and tell me truly what thou thinkest of him”

He will live in constant fear of Cassius, always suspecting a betrayal or a fight or a coup where there is none. But will he ever trust you Brutus again?

Mystifyingly, yes.

[thegirlsarethriving]

just finished undertale. ok i see the vision. i now understand yall's Sans-to-Benrey obsession pipeline. and the Papyrus-to-Tommy Coolatta pipeline

[m0th-gh0st]

I think a lot of people upset about how Gideon was characterized in spto are missing the fact he explicitly turns around and says he's faking it within the same episode.

[bethrnoora]

thinking about her (strahm's ex wife we know nothing about except the implication of her existence). her name is emily simon (changed her name back after the divorce), she's a clinical psychologist and well. i guess relative to most other characters here sort of well-adjusted? she kind of just minds her own business and lives in maryland doing research work. maybe shows up in NJ for a few days for the funeral and has a generally weird and unpleasant time there.

guy in the bottom image with her is my oc julian

[sawtastic-sideblog]

Mark stumbles into the bathroom, bloodied hands fumbling for a lightswitch. He finds it and flips it up. The light makes a dull buzzing before the room is washed in light.

"Fuck," the man grumbles as he goes to the medicine cabinet to search for the first aid kit. Once he finds it he sets that and Amanda's travel sewing kit on the counter. He starts to clean the wound, wincing as the disinfectant touches the raw flesh.

With trembling hands, Mark tries to thread the needle. He finally manages to get the black thread through the eyes of the needle. He braces himself against the counter and leans toward the mirror. The needle enters his flesh, he winces, but continues.

A rough, latex clad hand stops his movements. The reflection of Lawrence stares back at him. His expression unreadable.

Lawrence turns Mark around and gently pulls the sewing thread from his cheek. He is silent as he gets to work on Mark's face. The men stay silent for a time before Mark breaks it.

"Why are you helping me?"

"I'm a doctor. I took an oath."

"And, yet, you are an apprentice of John Kramer, the famed Jigsaw Killer."

A silence fall over them as Lawrence looks away, seemingly looking for an answer. Mark watches his hands thread the needle, with the correct thread, with a steadiness only a surgeon would have. Their eyes meet and they stay silent. The only sounds are their breaths, the buzzing of the light, and the movement and voices from their colleagues milling about the warehouse. Lawrence let's out a sigh.

"Fine. You were doing it wrong. It was going to scar. I mean, you were using sewing thread."

"So?"

"So," Lawrence says matter of factly. "I'm a perfectionist and you have a pretty face."

Mark's cheeks heat up. Well, one was already on fire, but now it's like someone poured gasoline on it. His stomach flutters. His eyebrows furrow. Why did Lawrence's words effect him like this?

The silence washes over them again as they stand in the bathroom. The sound of something metal hitting the floor in another room pulls both men from their thoughts.

"This is why we can't have nice things, Amanda!" Adam yells.

"Shut your fucking mouth!" Amanda yells back.

The corner of Lawrence's mouth pulls upwards at the exchange and Mark letsout a huff of air.

"Almost done. What happened to you, anyway?" Lawrence asks. As he pulls out bandages.

"Ray Jenkins happened. Bastard noticed me and threw a goddamned flower vase at my head. He missed, but he attacked me and held my face in the glass."

"Then that explains all the other cuts, the bruising, and the disheveledment of your person."

"Yeah, that explains it."

"All done. Take it easy for a few days, try to avoid eating on that side, and take some painkillers."

"Will do. Thanks, Doc."

"You're welcome, Detective," Lawrence says as he throws the gloves he had been wearing into the trash. He leans over to Mark and kisses th bandages above the wound. He grabs his cane and walks out of the bathroom, leaving a very confused Mark standing there. Mark's had goes to where Lawrence's lips had been, his heart racing.

"What the fuck?"

[halflifebutawesome]

something I’ve only recently just realized and have been thinking about a lot is that like. Even if Gordon didn’t cause the resonance cascade, he probably would’ve been sent to Xen anyways . Probably to his death

not sure when i'm gonna post art next bc school has been keeping me busy but it's all writing + film classes this quarter, in the meantime here's an edit i made last year of the elevator scene from 500 days of summer if they listened to charli xcx 🙏

[mad-hunts]

for the 'how well do you know barton' quiz, @deathl1es (adam) scored 1 point.

❝ hmm, you know what? i still don't know a lot about you either as we had just met each other not too long ago. so eh, i guess scoring something is better than nothing, ❞ barton shrugged his shoulders at the one point the results that showed before him on his laptop for adam. he can't really recall telling the other anything other than his name and that he had a daughter, so in this instance, he couldn't really be 'cross' about it.

however, that didn't necessarily mean that barton was going to let adam off the hook either. for, this meant that they'd just have to spend more time around each other if he ever hoped to learn everything about the doctor that was on the quiz. a devilish smile spread across his lips as he intertwined his own fingers in front of each other (this picture... i'm sorry, y'all, but the meme edits of him with the hair are back JSJSJ LMAO).

❝ but ahh, i have to say that this has really opened my eyes to how much information there is now to cover with you about my background, adam. so what do you say we set a date and time for when i can talk your ear off about one of my favorite subjects — myself — until you know about everything that my past therapist told me is wrong with me? ❞ barton announced this to the other with a straight face but soon couldn't hold it as he burst out laughing.

❝ no, i'm honestly just messing around with you. we'd be at wherever we're planning to meet for a long time if i told you all of that. and it's not one of my favorites because everyone tends to give me this look when i talk about my father, ❞ he looked down at the table and absentmindedly sniffed before looking back up at the other. ❝ he got killed when i was eight, so i bet you can imagine why. but anyways... how do you feel about indian food? ❞
