Giving each other the comfort they wish they received in their time of need

No wonder this show became a hit. They really asked "you know what's better than one guy forced to give up something that it would break him to lose?" and gave us a whole bunch in different color shirts and said "Enjoy! :D"

(x, x)

right!!!! one of my favorite things about kinnporsche is how the show's like "here's some sexy mafia guys" except it's a TRICK, all the boys are at their sexy best when they're loving and domestic and caring for each other and get traumatized any time they actually act mafia. this show has its messy moments and goodness knows how their world works sometimes, but the writers had the most correct priorities when it comes to the emotional beats of the story.

Khun: the emotional journey of a deeply traumatized guy where we only see him in the aftermath, desperately clawing his way back to some sense of normality. how absolutely tender ep3 was with Porsche taking him to a new space, gently holding Khun's hand and asking him to stay with him and trust that he'll keep him safe, and he does, and we see Khun grow into a fiercer protector who can chase after the people he cares about past his walls and defend his home when its security is compromised.

Kinn: he wasn't a cold mafia boss softened by love, he was always a bleeding heart who's kindness was mercilessly beaten out of him. he falls in love so fast and so hard and it's so good watching his past traumas rear their ugly heads but him letting go of his old ghosts and clawing his way past them anyways, because he so desperately wants love and wants to love. and like? what a baller move that is for his character? he's a mafia boss, and a merciless one at that, but he also wants to be soft and cute and a good brother and boyfriend and all his people safe while living in and facilitating his violent and blood soaked world. the wonderful contradiction you are Kinn <333

Kim: the boy who tries to sacrifice everything for his and their greater happiness except it just makes him all the more miserable because this show really said there is no glory in what you give up or destroy, only what you shelter and protect. he's a self-saboteur but you can't help but root for him all the more because of it. he's just so scared to care, of that being used to trap him or anyone else, yet he's falling face first into his own schemes because he loves so much and so deep.

and just. Porsche, carving himself to pieces trying not to lose anything. Chay, who will twist himself into knots trying to hold everything he sacrificed for. Vegas, who tries to drive everything away before it can abandon him and shattering when it goes. Pete, who repressed and ignored all his wants and discontent until it shattered him.

i just. i love these boys. i'm obsessed with these boys. kp had a lot of balls to juggle and a bananas premise to do it in, but they nailed all the big emotions so good, i'm still mashing potatoes over them two years later.

oh my god i didn't even think about stick!alan if dark survived somehow... actually that'd be so funny

Hmm. Belos being Weird and Bad towards Hunter so in his need to control the children he continues to be possessive over Hunter and uses this against Luz like 'he is only yours because I gave him to you, I can take him away'... and Luz knows this is a real threat because Belos continually Takes Hunter Away to do Bad Things so her fear that he won't come back is SO real but she also hates objectifying him like that and wants to respect hunters autonomy...

you know, if you WANT to interpret it this way.... you COULD probably make an argument that it's AU canon-compliant if something like this did happen. bc i reread the luz POV fic recently and i was like "good GOD. how many Deeply Upsetting Implications could i cram into one novella. girl what were you processing here" (i know what i was processing here)

like. it's true that luz doesn't realize hunter is being physically abused and that she thinks she's had a pretty well-adjusted upbringing, BUT.

1) even before the grimwalker horror, she acknowledges that she and hunter are both considered "eccentric" because they have no other peers;

2) she keeps insisting that belos is doing all of his worst, creepiest, most manipulative bullshit "because he's a good father and he loves her" (LEAVE HER ALONE);

3) she somehow intuitively KNOWS that acting possessive and imperious about hunter will get her what she wants. "he's mine" indeed!

and there's some separation already baked into their day-to-day lives -- luz has private lessons with belos that hunter isn't present for, hunter CLEARLY has had time alone with belos that luz isn't present for. luz doesn't know hunter is being physically hurt but she Does textually know that being around belos makes him stressed/upset. and that belos hates him. for no fucking reason. she and hunter both acknowledge that she's the favorite without any bitterness or jealousy between them, because it's just.... how things are. a fact of life.

like. belos probably never told her explicitly "i gave him to you and i can take him away," that Would be a slight AU of the AU -- it would make her a lot quieter and more fearful of punishment than she is in the text. but being told that hunter Belongs to her and she can do whatever she wants to him and if he fusses about it, she can come to belos to set him straight....?

that is like. Very Much a conversation they could have had.

K. Tsurugi (aka Ryuko) Headcanons <3

This one’s short and sweet tbh. She’s my lil socially-clueless pixie cut boo.

She secretly ships people.

She’s super into manga and anime and takes it completely seriously.

She also shamelessly reads fanfics.

She reads Nathanaël and Marc’s comics religiously.

V bad at jokes but still tries to tell them.

Also 1/2 japanese + 1/2 chinese = 1 baddie.

She’s somehow never hot but also never cold.

She likes playing mahjong.

Also has a slight collecting problem.

Haha “slight” her room would be a total (orderly) clutterfuck were it not for her strict mother.

She already has like six mahjong decks and does not plan on stopping.

Back to Nathanaël and Marc’s comics—she gets her hands on as many limited editions as she can.

She hangs out in the art room a lot despite not legitimately attending Collège Françoise Dupont.

She does a lot of painting and sketching while she’s there.

She’s actually in her first year of lyceé, and just attends fencing club at the school. She’s one of the older kids there.

She’s always really liked dragons.

She has an unlikely friendship with Alix.

She’s really good at sneaking around quietly thanks to years of practice with her mother.

The bad news is that she’s terrible at staying out of sight.

This also leads to her unintentionally sneaking up on people.

She genuinely enjoys fencing, but her mother sucks all of the fun out of it sometimes.

Most of the time.

She pokes people with her saber as punctuation when she’s talking like the lil clapping emojis.

She can’t cook for the life of her. She can chop things up, but please, for the love of literally anything, don’t let her near the stove.

She draws on her arm a lot; it’s why she wears long sleeve—even though her mother can’t see what she’s done, she doesn’t want people pointing it out and getting her in trouble.

It’s a lot of watercolor-esque stuff though.

She kinda wants to be a tattoo artist.

(Also she was the one to do Alix’s tattoos).

Also I love the idea of her watching stuff on silent w/ subtitles so her mother won’t catch her, and I propose: character voices sometimes catch her rlly off guard bc that’s definitely not what she thought he was going to sound like???

ok bye *slips back into the dumpster I originally crawled out of*

the seasonal depression is hitting HARD rn

[munamania]

pretty odd to me that to some circles on here, that fortunately i dont find myself anywhere near but still feel the need to complain about, r like genuinely up in arms about people enjoying cannibalism/body horror/blood/etc in fiction but not in real life. like theyre treating it like a Poser situation. my sincerest apologies for not genuinely wanting to dissect my hypothetical girlfriend and eat her heart and collect her bones and fuck her body or some shit… doesnt mean my enjoyment for weird little fucked up stories is insincere or that i cant comprehend it lol and sorry if i sound like your “”oppressors”” but you do realize it’s weird to feel possessive over cannibalism right. like uhm do what u gotta do consensually guy but u dont own the rights to fictional cannibalism just cause youd apparently rlly get off to eating a body like. i dont like seeing real people suffering and gory and in pain so clearly i couldnt possibly understand the appeal of this in fiction. kys what who said that i literally dont care enough to say that its just like. really really weird.

Juliet's most current look, art courtesy of the wonderful @stellarhistoria

Her style had always been on the more practical side, developing from the farmhand clothes she wore in her youth, to the more mercenary-like style in her Academy days, and now to a sort of 'dark cottagecore'. Because if she has to deal with a war, she might as well be comfortable doing so!

Going to go to bed soon. Offering my full night of dreams to anyone: trade for deep, restful sleep only.

[zarekarstudio]

so, i made a couple tweeks to DJ's design, and just made very VERY quick edits to that one valentine's card as examples of what i mean

'sunglasses mode' and his 'default' eyes for when his screens are on. now, for some common expressions!

(happy, greeting, side-eye, eyes emoji, surprise)
