we already have the percy whose scalp is always somewhat damp because he wants to feel the moisture on his skin. the percy who takes bubble baths twice a week soley so he can nap underwater when he's away from the beach. the percy who once drank four gallons of water in two hours and felt like he was king of the world for a week straight. but give me the percy who gets overstimulated from being in the water too much. the percy who spent his three-day weekend putting a stop to a war between the fish of the pacific and atlantic ocean. the percy who returned home with his hair dry as a bone. the percy who locked himself in his room and refused to touch water unless he was nearly dying of thirst. the percy who damn-near asked his father to disown him for a few days because being directly linked to water made him want to cry.
i need you all to know that this is one of my favourite cut scenes from Batman: Arkham Knight—
The entrance. The laugh. The slight inflictions in his tone even through the distorted voice. His body language. The way he speaks about where to aim their shots. The absolute certainty in every word. The way he talks about where to hit Batman whilst he's stood there right in front of him.
And of course. My most favourite bit. The ACE chemicals worker saying "Please." and the Knight just tipping his head in near disinterest to address the plea with, "You say something?". The sheer mock in his voice, the condescending lilt undercutting everything he says.
You know what, i did say something. It's please please please can you talk to me like that? Can i pat you on the head. And can i help topple your enemies and can i suck you off??? And-
honestly too tired to be coherent about this but i'm still thinking about Argenti and Velite
whether you read them as ship or not, there's something in Argenti being so stubbornly earnest and alive that he somehow inspires someone as cynical and "side character" as Velite to take the risk to quit his IPC job and become a pilot like he wanted. the fact that Velite's dream, supposed to manifest about something he wanted, was him piloting The One and Only to find Argenti. something in Velite just cursing Argenti out for being so stubborn about being willing to die for any noble cause, but willing to go with him because this big, beautiful, suicidal dumbass is the life and beauty he praises so much.
Argenti might be searching for the Beauty, but in the eyes of people like Velite, with his earnestness and drama and the one who finds everything beautiful, why doesn't Argenti understand that he IS the Beauty (the beauty of life)? more than Idrila could ever be at this moment?
Argenti being the beauty of life and inspiring someone like Velite to believe in it again and, hopefully, keep this idiot from sacrificing his beauty far too early.
