#just cant get enough of this guy

[defensivelee]

ok here's why Bentinck is my favorite Six Lives OC beyond anyone else. idk where this came from but i've had so much thoughts about him and i cannot keep them in.

cw: csa, objectification, religious cults, indoctrination

there's just something about that boy in Dona Dona... he's fucking tragic. he wants to be so loyal, and he has so much love to give, but because of this literal cult he was born into, he has nowhere to channel that into except for this equivalent of a religious far-right extremist group. he was so ready to obey and learn! it's just the meanest fucking trick of the universe that he had to be born... here.

and that made him a perfect candidate to be an Ally of the Devils of Orange-Nassau. it was scary for him, to be told as a goddamn ten year old that 1) Allies are less than all life on earth, for ever daring to standing in the way of the true rulers; the Overlifers, 2) it is morally okay to use and objectify Allies as the Overlifers wish! and 3) that all Allies have to die in order for the Overlifers to rule. but fuck man he was so excited to serve William's father. he was going to be given so much power and abilities and he would use it all to help forward this awful cause! but it's just evil, yknow? telling a child that they're basically worthless unless they gift their power to these extremists. but he thinks it's the most honorable thing he could have been chosen for.... to live and die for these people, for William.

he does stop believing that he will die later on, for one reason or the other, but man. everything else. he's just a kid. and he's already being groomed to believe that sexual assault is not something he has the right to complain about. i mean, you just take the kiss from William's father-- it was nothing to that man, ofc, he wasn't even necessarily attracted to Hans. it was reminding that boy of his position, reminding William of his position, nothing else. and Hans was so happy at the time, he thought it was so great... agrghghh it's heartbreaking. it only took a kiss. and now he's an adult, and while he thinks he's just fine with it... does he always say yes to William? yes, but could he say no if he wanted to? you could not even begin to explain to him why this is sexual exploitation. it was the fucking kiss. it sickens him that he was so proud of it then, and it only serves to make him more certain that this is where he belongs, and he deserves all the treatment he gets.

i love William here, but i think everything in this AU is just so fucking cruel to Bentinck. there's no good way about it. he loves William so much, and to learn why this is all wrong and ultimately breaking away from the Devils of Orange-Nassau means betraying William. he could never get himself to do that. but then, if he stays... Anne's right! he's just doomed to die! William's so-called destiny is a very rough thing here, and he's suffered much for it, but yknow what at least he'll fucking get SOMETHING: the world, if all succeeds. Bentinck has to die for William to get there. because he happened to be the one that William's father chose, the most beautiful boy who just had to be raised by this world of violence. because William came to love him. it's like... where do you even go fro m there.

what a thing to subject your best friend to. idk how William can live without loathing himself... but then, ig he does live like that a lot of the time.

for however much i love whumping Bentinck, he's the one character here who i think deserves, more than a beating... JUST SOME FUCKING PEACE MAN. i want Anne to hold him :( i want him to choose who he wants to be :(

Look, I rewatched all of Bravern to try and make more sense of it now that I know plot twists and stuff and honestly how does Lewis never ask anything about the cockpit that he was in for four seconds. I think he should mention it. I think he's allowed to talk about it.

Hey Spam, not to sound rude or anything, but i think something is stuck in your hair to your left. IDK what it is, but it looks like kinda spiky so please be careful!

I realized that Maizuru, despite being with Kabru's party for a while, still gets Holm's race wrong.

At first I thought it was kind of the joke of the whole thing. Calling Marcille a frog woman, Holm a dwarf, and getting Rin's name wrong. Holm looks tired, annoyed or maybe a bit embarrassed by this mistake. He's the only one who's background is not "explosive". Marcille's and Rin's are, and his is just plain, dark, and with those lines at the bottom. Why? Maybe for comedical effect. Probably because he's been telling her he's a gnome before this. Just like Chilchuck doesn't like being called a kid and people still call him that, Holm doesn't like being called a dwarf and people keep calling that.

It's not uncommon for people to mix those races, and since Shuro's party isn't the best with races (they don't even know Chil's a half-foot) they probably just think Holm is a wierd-looking dwarf. They probably hadn't seen any gnomes before. If it was Maizuru's first time seeing a gnome and calling it a dwarf, it could be understandable. But she's been with kabru's party long enough to realize that that dwarf is, actually, a gnome.

I think she doesn't believe Holm is a gnome, just like Marcille or Senshi don't believe Chil's an adult.

That's the face of someone who's tired of this shit. It's like when someone tries to guess your country just by the way you look. There's maybe a bit of ignorance at first, but I think Maizuru is deliberately deciding to not believe Holm when he tells her he's a gnome for the first time. And he's so done.

Did Isayama ever state that Levi stopped eating after Erwin's death and that the cloak Levi wears in season 4 is Erwins?

No, I don't think I will recover from the VA's growl after Gallagher says he used to bite people. Thanks for checking. (but seriously, was that just a VA choice or is that a direction he was given? Does he rawr in other languages? I've only heard the English line).
