#and to him he can’t live without them

Okay okay but listen. In “The Inside Job” which is in season 3 (which if you’ve watched you know is an important Eliot season) we see Eliot caring more about getting Parker out than the blight. Which is important character development from the pilot episode where Eliot is “every man for himself” attitude. But Eliot still has priorities which is his team over anyone else. Which one could argue is selfish. But realizing this, seeing that to Eliot their survival is more important than everyone else’s and knowing he might make that call if he needed to, or was in a role that told them to, despite what everyone else thought, makes the season 4 cave conversation even more important. Like Eliot has gone from self survival to team survival and has chosen to stay there!!! Because of the possibility that no one else would make that call. There’s a blight or famine? Government agents incoming? Covers all blown? Eliot would chose to abandon the client and the mark instead of the team to ensure their safety first because to him every other problem could be solved later.
#I just find this so fascinating because usually that character selfishness is portrayed as bad#like that’s not what you should do#the train dilemma and all that#and Eliot really be saying yeah I’ll make the tough decision#and to him he can’t live without them#ugh#I hope I had the braincells to make this make sense#I’m writing this in the middle of work when I should not be on my phone probably nor rewatching the inside job#but oops#leverage#the inside job

Jason travels to an alternate universe where Bruce only cares about being Batman. He took in each of his kids to serve the mission, not be his children.
Now, faced with alternate versions of his family, Jason has to grapple with the fact that his Bruce does care, that he is his father. Because the man in front of him now, trying to send him home, isn’t even close.
#batman#jason todd#bruce wayne#redhood#batfam#batfamily#this bruce went one of two ways 1) running his kids into the ground and they’re basically unrecognizable to jason or 2) worked them so hard#they couldn’t take it and left the business entirely and he’s completely alone except the JL which doesn’t like him but he is necessary#sure crime is down but bruce’s crusade is just that an actual crusade because he treats his sons like soldiers and everything comes second#to the mission. i don’t even know if damian exists in this universe because the idea of bruce having romantic relationships is laughable#although here he might be more closely aligned to talia because they’re both mission oriented and having a legal heir for their literal#legacy might appeal to him idk. just that jason shows up and it’s like his brothers have military ranks instead of names. none of them have#real jobs or even friends because they eat sleep work live at the manor and would never leave the batcave if it weren’t for public#appearances. it’s insane to see dick without his personality or tim who really does act like a robot and not a person. i don’t know if steph#cass and duke would stick around for this (or alfred for that matter i’m 50/50)#but when jason does get back everyone is shocked that he sticks around the cave and manor for a couple weeks checking in on everyone and#making the effort to do things unrelated to mask business. he has to write a report about the incident and he struggles to even put into#words how wrong it felt. his arguments with bruce also skew slightly because he can’t claim bruce doesn’t care in general just that he#doesn’t care about him or express it enough or in the right way. a far cry from the usual spiel and bruce is concerned so they talk it out

i think it would be kind of juicy if Daniel, who's been kind of a shitty dad to his own kids, actually stepped up when it's about Armand’s children
#i mean the armand/daniel sybelle benji dynamic is more complicated#than to fit in nuclear family ideals#but yknow#daniel never wanted kids but these are ARMAND'S man he can’t not love them#he loves his own kids too ofc but like. he can live without them 🤐#it's the tgp eleanor and her mother situation but i make an exception for shitty dad daniel#bc i like him:3#iwtv#devil's minion#sybelle#benji mahmoud#need them in the show so bad

dean desperately wants to get inside sam but it’s not just about fucking him, it’s also because sam is quite literally his home and dean wants to crawl inside his chest and live in his rib cage, near his heart, where it’s warm and familiar
#what if i said: sam’s body as dean’s home#and that’s part of why his longing for sam is so intense and also why he’s so obsessively possessive & overprotective of him#physically too#sam is the last piece of home dean was left and dean wants to possess him keep him to himself and literally live inside him#anyway the point of this post is that i can’t imagine them fucking without some metaphorical meaning involved#wincest#samdean#spn

the fact that neil chose andrew out of them all is so dear to me. that andrew chose neil out of them all is so dear to me. that they chose each other is so dear to me. and at the same time it seems inevitable? like of course they chose each other, like of course no one else would be possible. they are what the other needs and that’s why they last. they are so compatible it’s scary.
and the fact that nora said if andrew didn’t have neil he never would’ve gotten happiness proves my point. I know some want to have the whole “you don’t need anyone to be happy” kind of mindset but in my book you’ll always gonna need people. It’s inevitable. and not finding the one who gets you, can make you miserable. It’s hard to find, but it’s so so sweet when you do and I’m so glad andrew got blessed with it. He got the one. and through hard work (therapy etc) he made him last. neil never became the one who got away because andrew worked hard enough to not self sabotage anymore. he learned to recognize neil as a good thing, an important thing and eventually he learns that neil feels the same and will never be the one to hurt him. he won’t be like tilda. so they make it last. and that’s everything.
#loving neil will never make him want to die#loving neil is what makes andrew want to live#andrew almost killed himself wanting to hold onto tilda#but neil is different#loving neil is what makes andrew want to move forward#the more he loves neil the more he lives#and that’s on loving the right people#bc neil will always push andrew to become better#and the other way around#they are what the other needs and without the other they can’t become the best version of themselves and that’s okay#that’s what ppl can do to you#it’s amazing#I love them#aftg#neil josten#andrew minyard#andreil#nora sakavic

How does one even angst cumplane
well it’s simple. you put them in a situation.
#svsss#shen yuan#shang qinghua#i’m kind of tearing my hair out because i can’t describe the ideas i have for them#maybe it’s something like#plant body gone wrong au#SQH or SQQ fuck up the recipe#and then SQQ is just gone#and SQH has to live with that#and it’s extra layered for him#everyone else is morning obviously but#sqh knows that it wasn’t supposed to be the end#they had backups!#but now.:. he’s gone#even the system confirms it#maybe sqh got used to having someone who understood him#got used to having someone who knew what being controlled was like#who knew#at least a little#who he used to be#he spent much longer in this world without sy#but somehow#it’s much lonelier now#maybe sqh never came to terms with some feelings he was having for his cucumber bro#and now he can see them clear as day#but it’s too late#maybe he makes a deal with the system to bring him back#but he has to leave in turn#and now it’s sy’s turn#idk maybe something like that

[ cw: violence mention / death mention / ]
Will never stop thinking about how Leo, all alone in an endless void and being beaten again and again and again by the only other living thing around, still finds comfort in that space. The situation he was in was completely hopeless, and in any other circumstances he would not have escaped, at least not fast enough to save him from permanent (or even fatal) damage, be it physical or mental.
And yet, despite the bleakness of his situation, despite the agony and helplessness, all he needs is one glance at a crumbled photograph, one glance to remember his family, and that’s enough of a reason for him to smile.
Maybe that’s why his powers center around manipulating space - because no matter how much space is between them, no matter how dire his own situation may be, just the thought of his family, alive and okay, is enough to give Leo hope.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rise leo#the prison dimension is horrifying on its own#add in a monstrous being that towers over you and has vowed to ensure your suffering?#god I can’t imagine how scary that is#Mikey opening the portal was a miracle because if he hadn’t managed it there#it’s really up in the air what could have become of Leo#personally I subscribe by the theory that you straight up can’t die in the prison dimension#so it’s a prison in all ways#but the thought of a Leo who manages anyway who adapts and continues to have hope despite it all…#Leo saying he’s nothing without his family is a double edged sword really#because the thought of his family alone is all he needs to live. to hope.#to smile#nothing without them…but they’re EVERYTHING to him#and maybe he doesn’t realize it but…the feeling is mutual#one thing too is that hope that comforts Leo so much is not just that#should he think his family needs help - that hope can turn into determination#I’m unwell about this family#actually on my point of their powers - I truly do think the abilities tie in not only to their personalities#but to their relationship to family and love in general#kinda like love languages in a way#Mikey with his chains and time abilities values being around his family the most - he wants them to experience living in the moment togethe#Donnie is someone who is 100% a gift giver to show his love - his constructs are exactly that aren’t they? gifts of his mind#Raph is someone who willingly bears the weight of the shield - he protects his family like the best big brother possible#and Leo - he goes off on his own a lot but his mind is constantly on his family anyway#like a sailor at sea no matter how far he travels the compass always point in one direction - and for him that compass points home#even if he can’t make it back - it’s still there#and that’s enough

I love 15’s little ways of manipulating. They’re subtle but you can see them perfectly, adding such an interesting thing to his personality.
He knows the right words and the right moments to strike and he probably realizes all this.
#watching him in this episode made me go crazy#ofc anyone would fall for them and it’s so interesting#people are drawn to him without knowing why and he cherishes that#honestly one of my fav things about him#yeah other doctors manipulate too and quite a lot but I love how 15 does it#his charming persona can’t live without dragging others into the mess#doctor who#dr who#dw#fifteenth doctor#15th doctor

warning for discussing potentially upsetting content about creepy guys dating their adoptive sons. skip this post if u don’t wanna see it
so banana fish has this scene which obviously stuck out to me (that’s his adoptive father)


the focus is not on the opera itself, but the name of the composer. is the name amadeo/amadeus a reference to something else? the only thing i can think of is like… the relationship between mozart and salieri? the film amadeus came out in 1984, 1 year before bananafish began in 1985 (idk when these panels were drawn but i estimate around 1986-1990). but 1985 is the same year the vampire lestat was published, the book in which armand reveals his name was amadeo and provides most of the initial detail about his relationship with marius.
i feel like i’m missing some cultural information on why anne rice and akimi yoshida are making similar comparisons at similar times. i know wolfgang amadeus mozart was big in pop culture at the time, and maybe yoshida was just referencing salieri trying to destroy mozart out of jealousy, but the portrayal of “amadeo/amadeus” as a teenage sex worker in an unbalanced and harmful relationship with his wealthy and all-powerful adoptive father (who saw him as already “damaged” due to his history of abuse and then turns him into a literal killing machine) seems REALLY specific and completely unrelated to mozart.
it’s possible it’s totally a random parallel, and a throwaway scene, but given the timeline i feel like it’s also possible yoshida read the vampire lestat and is referencing the character armand.
thoughts? just a coincidence? is there something im not considering or does my timeline not add up?
#iwtv#tvc#sorry these screenshots suck but i’m not going back through the whole manga to retake them#csa implied#when i first read it was like surely i’m just armand brained but after looking into it more. idk it still stands out as significant#i am your god your creator therefore you can’t exist without me. in tvc marius decides that since amadeo is living on without him he is#no longer amadeo and is a completely different person. lost to him or whatever. vs bananafish is very much you’re my creation so if you#won’t stay with me i get to destroy you

Before Jason makes his debut as Red Hood, he goes apartment hunting.
And the thing about Gotham is, all of the apartments that would make for good safe houses, are safe houses. The Bat’s safe houses. If Jason wants to set up shop, he��s got to get creative. This means being willing to look the other way about some things. Namely, living with other people.
Jason gets a roommate.
Sure, he’d found a couple of spots that fit some of the criteria he used for making safe houses, but not all apartments were equal. And having a semi-functioning civilian cover was useful. Sometimes.
All this to say that Jason responded to a craigslist post of some guy looking for a roommate. The post was written well enough, decent grammar and a fair enough price. Unlike some of the places he’d “toured.”
He has to trudge up a few flights of stairs to get to the place, because roof access is always high on the priority list, and knocks on the door. He waits a few minutes, hears someone check the peephole, and then the sound of at least five separate locks being undone.
With the door finally open, he gets a good look at the guy’s face. Too good of a look, actually.
Because the man who opens it is Dick Grayson.
#jason todd#dick grayson#red hood#nightwing#batman#does dick recognize him? either way hijinks ensue#jason and dick as roommates both trying to live cheap af vigilante lifestyles without taking bruce’s money#dick’s undercover on a long op with bruce and needs a trackable identity to convince whoever to recruit him#jason doesn’t know this. what he does know is that dick lives off cereal and dirty socks and he refuses to live like this#dick thinks it’s either a coincidence his roommate looks/acts like his dead brother or that he’s been made and someone is trying to prove#he’s a wayne to blow his cover. lex is high on his list for his ability to make clones. jason honestly can’t tell if dick thinks it’s him#and tries to hide that he’s back. both of them are in subtly trying to get the other to admit something#all it takes is one old nickname slip up and the cats outta the bag#also angst because dick convinces jason he was missed and he tried to avenge him when he realizes he’s not a clone#i think these two would be hilarious roommates. does the pit make an appearance at all?#maybe someone genuinely tries to break into their shitty apartment and jason breaks the guys arm because he sees someone enter dick’s room#that isn’t his brother. they keep odd hours and jason is trying to build his criminal empire.#at least one of them comes back beaten up and needs stitches. where they’re in the kitchen fixing the other up while they both ignore#they’ve figured the other out. it comes to a head when they’re both out and nightwing needs to be brought back to the cave#so hood goes on their comms and summons the batclan to come get him.#also ft. jason’s ptsd ridden ass and nightwing’s stellar comedy#batsiblings#batbros#batfamily

I made my post about Dean Highbottom and then as I was writing my tags realised that his Hunger Games counterpart is Haymitch. and now my head is in my hands and I don’t think I’ll ever recover
#IM GOING TO CRY. I am part of the system I never wanted anything to do with it#I killed so many people without laying a hand on them. I never ever asked for this. I tried to say no. my hands are still bloody.#both turned to drugs to cope. both had a mentee who reminded them of someone they hated so much#(snow reminded the dean of his old friend. katniss reminded haymitch of himself)#both knew exactly how the games worked and all of its consequences because one made it and the other lived it#both lived in the shadows of the past and never really got out from it#but in the end one of them chose to be cruel to the children who they were asked to mentor#and the other loved even when it was killing him#god. twenty three years and they never managed to drown the fire out of him. his heart broke again and again#but he held onto those shards even as they made his hands bleed. and then one day two children appeared and pieced it back together#and some of it was missing and always would be. you can’t undo twenty three years of alcoholism and pain and grief and self loathing#but a lot of it was still there. far more than he ever even believed could have survived#Haymitch I love youuuuuuuuu I will always love you#and Dean Highbottom you were kinda cringe and lame. guynobody ass bitch. do better#haymitch abernathy#dean highbottom#thg#the hunger games#a ballad of songbirds and snakes#abosas

Something something about the Third Doctor and the fate of Tantalus. You're trapped in one place. Everything you want, that you once took for granted is right there in front of you, you can see it you can reach for it but you can never have it. You will never attain it on your own. Your fate is dependent on the mercy or cruelty of others and you hate it and you rage against it but you can’t do anything, your defiance is treated like nothing but a childish tantrum but you refuse to beg, you won’t get that desperate no matter how long you’re trapped here, no matter how low you’re brought down. You stand among humans and you look human but you’re not, you’re an animal in a cage with them and you’re the only one who can see the bars. Gnawing and hacking at them to no avail. And yet all you can do is wait and hope and try and fail in an endless loop until an outside force interferes to free you from your prison. The carrot and the stick. How does it feel to be on the receiving end?
#even when his exile is lifted and he gets his tardis back he still can’t get jamie and zoe back#he’ll never be able to#the doctor’s always lost companions but until that point they’d always chosen to leave#this was the first instance where he lost them#no not lost they were TAKEN from him#the doctor was ripped apart mentally and physically and emotionally#and he has to live with that#knowing that they’re living their lives without him as if nothing happened#(and even in jamie’s case he’s not sure considering Jamie was basically dropped into the middle of a battlefield)#only that he can never see them again#bc they won’t know him they won’t remember any of the adventures the fun the quiet moments spent together#he’s the only one who knows who remembers#and what he can’t bear more than anything is having them look at him with no recognition in their eyes#having them ask him who he is and not reacting in any way when he says “i’m the doctor��#not to mention how easily he was exiled and punished#he triumphed over daleks and cybermen and so many other creatures#but in the face of the time lords he was rendered helpless so easily#they trapped him took his tardis and his connection and his knowledge and his companions away and forced him to regenerate just like that#and now the time lords are aware of his existence and probably keeping an eye on him#in case they need him for anything (aka jobs to do for them)#reduced to a boy put in time out and then an errand boy#doctor who#classic who#third doctor#3rd doctor#my thoughts#wow that’s a lot of tags i’m sorry#i got carried away#i just can’t stop thinking about the tragedy of it all#in two’s ending and three’s beginning and their companions

The Power Fantasy (2024) #6 and #2
#I admit I was confused by the line ‘Imagine growing up in the room you know your parents fucked in’ so I had to go back and check#so it seems that Kid Ignition is stuck in that room except for when Haven is specifically sealed#in order to prevent Etienne from telepathically finding him#and only then can he leave#‘Family time’ is scheduled- but it also be something Heavy just announces#however Kid Ignition can bring people into his room without his dad knowing and having to do anything to make it safe for them to enter#he’s got a skateboard in his room- which he can’t use in there#so he leaves enough to have outside hobbies#it seems that ‘Family time’ can be a big ceremony in which everyone is present for Kid Ignition to leave his room#and something that just happens in the background of everyone else’s lives at Haven when Heavy goes to interact with his son#I really like what this series is doing with the word ‘family’#‘Sure this is /my/ family… but it’s /the/ Family too.’#‘Family isn’t always Family. Etienne’s Family and he threatened to kill everyone at Haven.’#also the premise of the series of all of this incredibly powerful people in tense situations but trying to avoid outright fighting-#with some of them calling each other Family#I’m really interested in Kid Ignition’s psychological state being raised in this way#the first ‘Family time’ we see is such an intensely cult-like ceremony#I imagine being ‘stuck in the fucking bubble’- never having left Haven- would have warped his perspective on non-Atomic people#who he’s never met#he only knows what he’s heard- which is that they oppress Atomics#also Kid Ignition must be woefully unprepared for navigating the delicate conflict between the Super-Powers#with his experience just interacting with people being limited to those in his dad’s cult#I wonder if there will be anything interesting done paralleling his unique mental state with Masumi’s#I think there’s potential there#image comics#the power fantasy#my posts#comic panels
