God Characters like Erwin Smith and Shanks and the way they’ve let their trauma run their lives. Erwin to the more obvious extent of course but;
Something about men imprisoned by the love they have for their dead fathers violently taken from them to young and too soon.
Cloaking yourself in the weight of his dreams won’t save you. The dream will end and there will still be a hole in your heart and bodies in your wake.

even for period typical ableism it still drives me nuts for karen to go oh poor matt how can he deal and get around as if he hasn't been blind most of his life at this point and living on his own by himself as an adult for his entire adult life after college and has also lived in the city his whole life like girl use your damn brain he can get around by himself just fine. good god. like take five seconds to use your brain. literally adult man who lives by himself if nothing else that should tell you he is fine and when he needs assistance has the knowledge and ability to go get it you act as if he can't even walk on the sidewalk by himself. he literally shows up to work by himself. it drives me up the wall sometimes how she sees proof of him functioning fine independently literally witnesses it on the daily and still thinks these things. like again foggy isn't great either bc again the period typical ableism (and just general ableism in the world outside of this period as this is a common attitude of viewing disabled people as helpless and unable to function even if they are people who do live independently (and im not touching on people who do need extra support and caretaking in this context. as this post is about these characters in the context of a story. so im talking about what we see there instead of any truly meaningful nuanced way) but the writing here is like. Particularly this way due to the time) he has a modicum more of understanding that matt is literally a capable grown adult man. literally told karen matt is a big boy who can handle himself and then karen went b-b-but you forget he's blind as if foggy hasn't known him for years of his life and is his best friend like PLEASE SEE HIM AS AN ADULT. I AM GOING TO GO INSANE. PLEASE RESPECT HIM IF YOU LOVE HIM SO DEARLY. AND EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T. JUST RESPECT HIM AS A PERSON!!!!!!

don't you think the main character being forced into the other characters' narrative is getting a little excessive?

So you know this party banter between Aveline and Carver?
Aveline: I don't like some of the people you've been associating with, Carver.
Carver: Talk to my brother/sister. He/She's the one in charge.
If you're on the rivalry path with Aveline, she says:
Aveline: Who says I don't mean him/her too? This city's full of people who are dead set on ending badly. I don't want to see you end up the same way.
I just- Aveline, you- you're so- hhhhnnnngggggg
I always rival Aveline when I play a mage, and if you think Edgar Aristide Hawke, who practically raised Carver and Bethany after Malcolm died and Leandra became a distant mother in her grief, wouldn't stop dead in his tracks at Aveline heavily implying he's a bad influence on his brother and Carver shouldn't hang around him so much since apparently Ed's someone set on ending badly...? Absolutely not.
This is another case of me wishing Hawke had the option to jump in during party banter with different options, because Ed would've chewed Aveline out for that.
Oh, and then there's:
Carver: Would asking you to stop spying on me help in the least?
Aveline: No.
Aveline...................stop it.

youve got any celltw hcs youd like to share with the class? (love this pairing)
i now have two anon asks asking for celltw thoughts this one is from like WEEKS ago that i never got to. anyway i'm getting to it now. also i made a celltw blog @pacbite where i have made an intro post and will post more :3
anyway. hmmmm headcanons. ok. i like lookin at their canon dynamic and wondering how they met after prison (bc they CLEARLY did at some point, they knew each other and pac e mike didn't panic upon seeing him so clearly there's some Extra History there we don't know of) i like to think pac e mike bumped into him at some nondescript gas station or something in the middle of nowhere while fleeing to another city or town years after their escape and then all three of them had to flee the gas station together when someone called the cops and stayed on the run together for a while. also felps was there. for reasons. idk he's felps he needs no explanation <3
honestly most of my headcanons can't even live up to their canon dynamic. it's so fucking complex and interesting as it is. how on earth do i even expand on that. i'm not putting my ns/fw headcanons on this blog because i am NOT getting my ass flagged again so i honestly don't have much to talk about in terms of headcanons. like.... dude their canon relationship is so cool on its own. cellbit hurt pac in prison. he ate his leg. it was awful. they left cell to die on a deserted island. they met up at some point after their escape and cellbit went to therapy and became a better person. they trust each other now. they're family. they both moved on from that prison and they were fine. but now extenuating circumstances have been dragging them both kicking and screaming back to past behaviours that hurt themselves and the people around them. how much will their dynamic change? can they still trust each other like they've grown to?? if cellbit snaps, can he still salvage his and pac's relationship???? 10/10 no notes they're literally the guys of all time i've got nothing to add

It still really gets me how sincere Andy’s grief over his potential child is. At first you think, oh this is just a weird flight of fancy for him, the idea of having a kid sounds fun but he’s not serious, but over the course of the episode you realise that, no, Andy actually wants children. It exposes something raw and depressing and lovely at Andy’s core and it just hits, how sad he is about what addiction took from him, the years and the growth and a potential life, but the hope that exists in knowing he’s getting better. Andy isn’t ready to be a father right now and it’s good for them both that Teresa chose to have an abortion, but maybe, some day when he’s ready, Andy will get to have a baby with someone who loves him.
