I still can’t get over the fact that Gundham calls his mom’s food poison, like how vile it must have tasted for him to say all that.

i'm picking him up like he's loot dropped on the dungeon floor for being too annoying and putting him in my pocket

Compiling a compilation of how straight men on reddit react to the player character in Lies of P:

Some highlights*:

*Unfornately, the one that read "Ngl, if he was blowing me, I'd run my hands through his hair. (No homo.)" Was deleted, but I was there and I remember.

Buford and Baljeet really is one of the funniest dynamics ever. Going from standard bully/bullied dynamic to guys who will scream and cry and throw up if they're separated is already so so good but also still going through the bully/bullied motions out of sheer habit is fucking iconic. Maybe some of the most freak4freak people of all time

one of my favorite things about the x-files is how it will occasionally focus on scully as a female agent in a boys' club and the ways she pushes against gender norms- to the point where she became a prime example of how on-screen representation can change how viewers see themselves! but then as an actual character she's so prone to passive aggressive jealousy that half of the time when they introduce another #womaninSTEM/law enforcement it'll cut to scully just quietly fuming looking like she wants to kill every other woman in the world in case mulder wants to talk to someone that isn’t her (unacceptable)

viktor expression study a bit more in the official arcane style because i usually draw him in my own funny little way; also i am so sorry for the top left one i was listening to Let Down by Radiohead (choir version) and also this is literally based on this expression study frog chocolate bar that randomly came across my home page

i was relistening to Part 6 and just really love and want to think more about Arthur’s behavior here and the snapshot it gives into his character cause like. This is Arthur before pretty much all of The Horrors. He’s flourishing. Just out of a nice month-long nap and has a new mystery to solve. He’s in his element here! This is what he Does! It’s probably one of the closest peeks we get into what his life had been like before everything, how he did his detective work, all of that. We learn how he goes about his investigations (before any of the post-horror desperation and moral issues hit) and just. This is how he worked. This is what he Did.

and what do we see? CRIMES. this man commits CRIMES. on the DAILY. without a second thought. just acts like it’s totally and completely normal.

this man walks into a store and very casually, matter-of-factly lists off the items he wants. A .45 Automatic with bullets to go along, a flashlight, matches, and a way to force a lock. like. That shit outta put him on a list or something, ESPECIALLY when he’s asked for an ID he says he doesn’t have one, and just. buys a new (fake) one. like. Thank god that clerk was dirty or else he’d be arrested cause what the fuck kinda sketchy shopping list is that? my brother in christ I don’t think there is any legal reason to have a way to force a lock. not to mention that and a GUN

Then he promptly heads off to a recently murdered girl’s apartment, and when finding the door locked, just picks it. Without a moments hesitation. And he does it really fuckin fast too, like. You know that guy’s had a Ton of practice. he did that in like one single second while blind and without control of one hand. he even admits it, says he’s done this many times. this guy’s a fucking menace.

Once inside the apartment (that he broke into. also the apartment of a recently murdered girl, not just dead but MURDERED like. She was KILLED HERE not even a week ago. this was a CRIME SCENE) he just kinda. Rummages around and takes a book. I mean yeah, she is dead, but also. you can’t just break into someone’s apartment and snatch their shit my guy??

and then at the docks. oh my GOD dude. You’d THINK a GROWN ASS MAN would maybe CONSIDER the CONSEQUENCES of STEALING A WHOLE ASS FUCKING BOAT OFF A PUBLIC DOCK IN BROAD DAYLIGHT but NOOO. that’s actually his instant go-to. Can’t get a ride? cool, I’m stealing a boat. there wasn’t even a second of hesitation or deliberation. What to do next? Oh I know. Steal a fucking boat. doesn’t even think of the consequences or that there’s actively people here (and he just gave his name to one), just up and takes it. it’s such a normal thing to do.

anyway all this to say that Arthur Lester Malevolent has always been a feral little creature with no regard for conventional approaches. he’s always been like this. I mean yeah he’s gotten So Much Worse but like. he didn’t start from ground zero either. Even in Part 4, when he needed to distract Kellin, when his first idea to honk the horn on his truck was turned down, his next instant suggestion was SET HIS HOUSE ON FIRE. there is no middle ground with this man. he will always jump straight to crimes without a second thought and I love that for him
