anyone else think about how beard comforted ted in 1.02 with “remember what you said to me our first day coaching at Wichita state? relax…they’re just kids.” and when he got angry at ted in the 1.09 he said “i understood this mission when we were in Kansas, but those were kids and these are professionals and winning does matter to them! and it matters to me!” Bc i do

the way Edwin's immediate reaction upon seeing the misery wraith in the Devlin house is to grab Crystal and cover her mouth, even while he's explaining (apparently calmly) that it hunts by sensing negativity and pain - presumably instead of using sight or sound
and the way that he does the exact same thing to Charles when they're reunited in Hell, but here he urges him specifically to be quiet (in what must be the most barely audible line of dialogue in the whole show) because he's found that's the only way he can get a short reprieve between bouts of torture from the spider thing (to the point that when he ran into Simon earlier he - rather nonsensically - believed the sound of tearing paper behind a closed door was also a big risk)
All I'm saying is, it doesn't look like it was actually all that important he stop Crystal from making noise in the Devlin house, and as much as that scene originally read as Edwin kinda having his shit together while Charles & Crystal were both more affected & then literally incapacitated, his head couldn't have been half as clear as it first seemed if his immediate reaction was reverting to Surviving Hell Tactics even when they weren't really helpful or applicable here
I need people to realize how horrible 'stalking/constant surveillance/breaking into each other's homes is how the Batfamily show love' is. Like i really need someone to just acknowledge how horrific saying this bullshit is.
Like even fics where they're shown as happy and healthy and with good ties, you've always got this thing where none of them have privacy or any boundaries with each other. Which is directly antithetical to actually having good relationships. And this invasion via hacking and stalking and breaking into homes is portrayed as a positive, good thing; it's just how they show love and care to each other, after all. But for some reason I just personally don't find stalking, lack of privacy or boundaries, and emotional manipulation funny, endearing, or healthy, and just end up disgusted at the attempt to sweep it all under the rug.
Pea Brained Bounce House time. Was thinking about the earlier Mikey bit. Then I started thinking about Warm Coded. And then:
Raph’s got like. This thing, when you’re working out with him. He uses the cover of coaching you to stare.
It’s not until he’s got you doing chairs against the concrete wall, and you look up in pleading askance on how much longer you’ve gotta hold the position, that you finally catch the way his attention is trained on the swell of your stomach. The uncanny focus of his gaze on your thighs as the muscles start to tremble and seize up.
I love Welcome Home, I love the dedication Clown has given to this project and a bunch of the fans' devotion to it, but I think after a year, I think it's safe for me to put some criticisms of the rampant misinformation and Clown's "boundaries".
Ofc the elephant in the room is the NSFW, but that's a different story for now. (Though it's mind boggling how it's been a year and kids still think the PlayfellowXXX tag doesn't exist).
What I'm talking about here is the thing that puzzles me the most, which is the supposed thing about Clown not wanting people to call 'Welcome Home' an ARG. I genuinely do not know if Clown has said any of this, last year I've gotten people telling others that he 'doesn't want anyone calling an ARG and you're being disrespectful if you call it that'. But I found nothing of which. Sure, Clown calls it a 'Horror Project', but besides that, I found nothing of how he told people that it's 'not an ARG'.
And even then, even if the creator did tell anyone, I'm still confused as to why. I get that the term 'ARG' is a pretty embarrassing thing to take seriously nowadays given all the Mascot and Analog Horror situations. But still, you can't write a book and tell everyone else that it's not a book.
[I'm laughing because THEY'RE funny, but of course, it is no laughing matter for someone to emotionally manipulate someone using their own therapy language and tools they've adapted]
it is so, so difficult to have someone treat you like shit and then hear 'he can't help it! he can't control his body well!' like i don't fucking know that. it doesn't make it hurt any less.
this thread is another example of using reactionary insults against right-wingers to 'beat them at their own game' which ends up tacitly endorsing their worldview - just like with the posts making fun of prince william for being bald and the rest.
having poor fashion sense (or in this case just not knowing the secret rules of men's tailoring) is not immoral, and dunking on strangers for it is not nice.
Hey guys, remember that time time Leland forced his high-school aged, sickly son to clear THIS
On his feet with an overweight llama on his back? And remember how he didn't give Frederick an escort or anybody to watch him? And remember how he was in the middle of nowhere with no hospital for miles? And remember how it was broad daylight out? And remember how the gala normally happens in the fall so this was probably some time in summer? And remember how Leland made him do it AGAIN? And remember how it took so long the second time that he had to sleep outside? And remember how he immediately had to make a break for it in the morning? And remember how if Whitney wasn't there Frederick would've 100%, legitimately, actually died of exhaustion or heat stroke? And remember how Leland almost murdered his own child because he didn't want to spend the rest of his life trapped in a loveless marriage with someone who legitimately thought was going to hurt him?
Haha, yeah. What a funny thing Leland did. This is such a funny joke, and it will never be acknowledged again.
