He’s my little princess ❤️🙏

If he can’t be happy in the show then I’ll just do it myself.

Ten Opening Lines

Rules: list the first line of the last ten (10) stories you published. Look to see any patterns you notice yourself, and see if anyone else notices any.

I remember God; his face was broad and insincere. (Consanguinity, Devil May Cry, Dante/Vergil)

My brother’s eyes are like glacial lakes, in a Northerly country where I am not welcome. (Comorbidity, Devil May Cry, Dante/Vergil) Someone in a book my brother used to own once said, “Man is a god in ruins”. Or wrote it, I guess; whatever. That book is mine now. Or at least, I have it. Only time will tell if I really own it. I wake up every day hoping I don’t. (Anteros, Devil May Cry, Dante/Vergil) It was the wrong side of midnight when they finished the job, and strolled their blood-soaked bodies home over the moonlit cobblestone, swaggering aimlessly through the lifeless streets of Red Grave City. (In the Days When I was Dear to You, Devil May Cry, Dante/Vergil)

Nero splits before dawn, and that seems about right. (Suppressio Veri, Devil May Cry, Vergil/Dante) The fucker was heavier than heaven. (Redux, Metal Gear Solid, Snake/Liquid, Liquid/Vamp, with Greekhoop) "So a priest and a musician walk into a bar," Wolfwood remarked, flatly, on exhaling. "You'd think the second guy would have ducked."

(Exeunt, Trigun, Wolfwood/Midvalley)

Blane McDonough stood before the high white door he’d sworn never to darken again, and hated himself. (White Night, Blue Interlude, Pretty in Pink, Steff McKee/Blane McDonough)

fͥucͣkͫed ( l a c u n a e, Mr. Robot, Tyrell/Elliot)

Board under his arm, he stood on the warm sands under the boomerang-shaped screams of the seagulls, far from the sounds of the carnival; calliope music and shrieks of delight, faded by the roar of the waves, dwindling on the wind that carried them.  (The Devil, the Saint and the Perfect Wave, DmC: Devil May Cry, Dante/Vergil) And a bonus, because why not: If I'm honest, I feel better here than I have in a long time, like a creature returned to the sea. (Confraternity, Devil May Cry, Dante/Vergil, unpublished)

I guess from this you can draw the conclusion that I rarely open with dialogue (it's always effective, but somehow I tend to see it as a cop-out - I tend to do this most in very short fiction/vignettes), and I mostly prefer a short-sentence stinger, though I occasionally employ a longer, rhapsodic, mood-setting sentence.

Interesting.

I tag @leontocephagaina and everyone else!

Hello, friend.

[armand-dearest]

I am here. asking about ur Mastermind and Leon thoughts🙏🙏

I don't really ship mastermind with anyone, but if it was anyone.... It could definitely be Leon. Do u read them as romantic, or more queerplatonic?

Hello yes! I'm so excited to talk about this!!

I read them as queerplatonic, but I think if both of them were given the time (a lot of time) and space to grow closer together and for Mastermind specifically to heal, it could have turned romantic eventually.

As it stands in the show, I don't think Mastermind is in the mental space to truly be romantically involved with anyone atm. He wants to be, but he doesn't know how to be. His whole thing is that he's an introject of host!Elliot's edgy comicbook OC. He's a protector alter born from a very explosive split, he's the end result of Elliot's disgust with society. As a result, Mastermind is inherently "the other", an outsider looking in - he was never intended to partake in "normal" parts of life like being in a healthy relationship, having a normal job, enjoying the little mundane elements of life.

Mastermind split as a way for Elliot to put all those extreme feelings of apathy, anger and loneliness away into a box so he could carry on living. Just how Robot split off to keep the CSA trauma away from Elliot. There's a lot of substantial amnesia barriers between the alters in this system, and they all have very rigid roles and maladaptive coping mechanisms. Which is why Mastermind and the system as a whole need to do a LOT of work and growth to work on those things before Mastermind can start being truly ready for a romantic relationship of any kind, among other things.

That being said... Bringing this back to Leon and him. I said Mastermind is an introject alter of Elliot's OC. Which other character in this show, other than Mastermind, is constantly breaking the fourth wall, talking about media tropes, going on about TV shows, and then breaking that away, chipping at it to bring it back to reality? Leon. He naturally lives in a similar realm to Mastermind, this meta kind of self-aware, self-referential character. But he ties things back to their real world in a real, grounding way, without being coddling. He chips away at the box Mastermind was placed into, without being overbearing.

I think Mastermind is more naturally comfortable around Leon than he is around any other character in the show, Angela and Darlene included. Mastermind loves Angela and Darlene, but they make him anxious. They're not on the same wavelengths. Leon and Mastermind naturally gel together in a way that feels authentic. They have a genuine respect for one another, and they just seem to click incredibly naturally. Mastermind seems to gain energy with being around Leon, while being around almost every other character for a prolonged period drains him. Even the ones he loves.

There's something to be said about the calm simplicity in the way Leon easily sees into the depths of Mastermind's soul... Yet is still a safe person to be around. He doesn't pity him like Angela, look at him with sadness like Darlene, pathologically and psychosexually attach to him like Tyrell, etc etc. They gave a genuine connection and very good chemistry. I would've loved to have seen something come from that like 5 years or so into the future when the system is a bit more healed.

Also, the Red Wheelbarrow book is an absolute must-have for anyone who loves Leon and Mastermind's relationship (and Mastermind and Robot's tbh), I cannot recommend that book enough, it genuinely feels like Elliot's diary fell out of his universe and into ours. It's a very intimate read, yet very engaging puzzle book also ❤️

LOTS OF SPOILERS FOR MR ROBOT‼️

Honestly if I was Elliot I would NOTTT give back the body to the real ellliot or wtv call me selfish..😒😒

Made a Hannibal and mr robot crossover called goodbye horses basically what if Elliot goes fucking crazy and becomes a cannibal hacker

(Spoilers for mr robot and hannibal)

Basically some of the events are the same but season 4 of mr robot is season 1 for Hannibal causing Elliot to be the main character of Hannibal instead of will. Will basically mentors Elliot and we watch as elliot slowly goes insane.

[bumpscosity]

people who think mr robot is a bad guy even after the revelations in season 4 will never make sense to me. i would've resorted to torturing mastermind via hallucinations way sooner

[auntarctica]

To the three of you still reading Mr. Robot in almost-2025 - let's languish in the dark taint between Xmas and NYE and have some late-night Tyrelliot. Bonsoir, pervs. <3
