We have moved past Maya and Franziska wingmanning narumitsu as a society. They would not fucking do that. We need to realise the truth which is that Larry and Gumshoe would try to wingman them and only succeed through failure

911 Lone Star | Talking about TK’s ~brushes with death~

[relicsongmel]

Something I've always found fascinating about Raymond Shields is that despite seemingly having altruistic reasons for being a defense attorney, his reasons for trying to convince Miles to be one are anything but.

It seems understandable enough on the surface. After Ray comes around and agrees to work with Miles in The Imprisoned Turnabout, he sees remnants of Gregory shining through him despite von Karma's influence. Whether or not he recognizes that Miles' decision to become a prosecutor wasn't just born from that alone—that it was in tandem with wanting to distance himself from anything that reminded him of his father to alleviate the burden on his heart—is up for debate, but regardless: he acknowledges Miles as Gregory's son through and through and wants to capitalize on his dedication for pursuing justice in a way that he knows would make his father proud. He wants to let Miles in on the life he was robbed of at 9 years old—the life he once dreamed of living, where he follows in the footsteps of his father by giving everything he has to save people, by fighting like hell for the vulnerable and the condemned.

That said, as much as Ray dresses up his proposition by making it out to be as if he's looking out for Miles' best interests (and the best interests of society, even)...his motives for trying to get Miles to switch sides are almost entirely selfish. Ray's efforts (and most of his actions in general, really) are ultimately a product of his desperate attempt to cling on to anything related to Gregory out of an inability to move on from his death. Wearing his hat and coat, leaving the name of his office unchanged...and now, requesting that his son literally change jobs just because he can't bear the weight of his own loneliness anymore. Because he can't bear to think that the damage done by DL-6 is irreversible and Miles has moved on while he has stagnated for the past 17 years. Because he has an idealized vision of what he thinks Gregory would want and fails to realize that his son's occupation wouldn't matter to him as long as it brings him happiness and fulfillment. In his mind, letting Miles go means accepting the circumstances that brought him where he is and allowing both of them to move on. And that terrifies him.

It's even more deceitful when you realize that Ray's pitch comes at a very opportune time for Miles given his circumstances at that point: that is, he's under threat of investigation for prosecutorial misconduct and at risk of being stripped of his badge. Ray might fake incompetence, but he's not stupid—and he takes full advantage of Justine's warnings to try to sway Miles when he's in a more vulnerable position in terms of his job. Which is...pretty fucked up, to put it lightly. Despite having a better idea of where he came from compared to most people, through this Ray shows a lack of understanding of who Miles truly is and a lack of respect for what he's come to value, even if his path toward obtaining those values had some bumps along the road. But he's so blinded by his grief that he doesn't even stop to consider how much he's really asking of him, or what Miles is really searching for.

Ray was moved by Gregory. He values saving people. Defending the weak is an undeniably noble endeavor. But to ask that of someone else without consideration for their best interests is decidedly less so.

For all his occupation requires a certain selflessness, Raymond Shields is far more selfish than he lets on. And I for one find that contradiction fascinating to unpack.

THE PINK CORRUPTION S2 SPOILERS!!

YALL I NOTICED SOMETHING WHILE WATCHING TPC S2 EP 1 (..like the moment it came out)

Ight so yall know how iris chest glows black? And he's the only one to have it. Well...

He has it too!!! And now I have a major theory so prepare yourself!

What if iris died at some point and was revived just like circubit?

Like think. They are the only 2 shapes who share this black glow! So it must explain it! (It might also explain iris's power) I've been brainstorming for the past 3 days about this. Its either that or they are Exes, maybe both actually..

over recent months the guys have done a lot of work within the band! they have already released their first single, and have almost finished work on their first album. the work on the songs is going quite fast, since most of them were written a long time ago. all they needed was a revision and a fresh look. and now the album is almost ready for release! the guys are very excited! despite the fact that Zane joined the band quite recently, he has quite an important role. he is a guitarist and one of the vocalists. at first, he was worried that it would be difficult for him to join an already well-coordinated team. however, his expectations were not fulfilled, and the guys were able to get into a working rhythm quickly enough. moreover, they were even able to get to know each other well!

Keith was the person who helped Zane adapt and get to know the guys better. he is very gentle and friendly. the only person he is strict with is his sister. but even despite little arguments and misunderstandings, they maintain a good relationship. also, he is the most responsible and organized person among the others. probably for this reason, he unofficially got the role of leader in the group.

Ernest is the most silent and calm person in this company. most of the time he is immersed in songwriting. Ern doesn't talk much about himself. despite the fact that their wives became friends, Zane still couldn't find an approach to Ern. in addition, Ernest has absolute authority in the group. he has a musical education and great experience in a musical career. his word always carries weight.

Ida is the most extraordinary member of the group. no one knows what's on her mind or what she's doing. sometimes it seems that there is no shame, no regrets, no worries in her. most of the time, she just acts like a child. however, despite all these things, she is insanely talented. Ida has incredible vocals and her singing is mesmerizing. despite the fact that their acquaintance was quite strange, Ida and Zane found a common ground. besides, their voices sound good together! it makes the vocal part of the band's performances quite strong.
