calling harry a “can opener” was SUCH a good play for so many reasons i think about it every day.

in the context of his work, it makes him a tool. as many people have pointed out, including martin luiga, part of the hdb tragedy is that he simply cannot leave the force, and his superiors know that and are using it to their advantage. no matter what happens, even if harry hated every nanosecond of every bit of the work and wanted to leave, he can’t and won’t leave. they can leverage anything they want against him and then reel him back in with a facade of kindness when they “allow” him to keep his job, as long as he does what they want him to. the 41st knows he has this inexplicable talent with people and they use him for it. he’s a cop: that talent can be used in so many awful ways, to push so many different agendas. and they won’t even be his own. a can opener has no particular desire to open a can, aside from maybe the satisfaction of fulfilling a purpose. a can opener has no agency, it’s just a tool for someone else to use to get what they want. and he’s learned to be okay with being used as long as it means he gets to stay. his complacency with this system makes him guilty even if he’s also being harmed by it.

but in the context of his personal life you kind of... flip it. the people around him are going to be opened up whether they want to be or not, and it’s terrible for his relationships. it’s shown that the questions, the prying- the can-opening- it’s become inextricable from who he is as a person. it’s like he doesn’t know how else to communicate, except it’s hardly communication when you’re just ripping people open. he’s invasive as all hell, although whether he means to be is debatable. he’s the kind of person that wants to take things apart to see what makes them tick. he dissects people, but really that’s too delicate of a word for what he does; if he doesn’t get what he wants right up front, he’ll abandon all subtlety and go for brute force. if he can’t get your screws loose he’ll just smash you on the ground and pick through your pieces until he’s satisfied, and if what he did to you isn’t fixable? oh well, there are other cans to open. 

and he’ll use it for personal gain: we already know he is (was?) manipulative. once he knows how you operate, he knows how to make you keep him. he can yell or he can cry; he can threaten you or he can threaten himself; he can be completely suffocating or he can withdraw completely; he can be an incorrigible liar or brutally honest; he can present himself as a threat or a joke or a talent. he’s a chimera- that’s why he’s got this inexplicable magnetism, even when people know they shouldn’t like or trust him. fidelity of character means nothing to him. he’ll be whatever he needs to be as long as it gets him what he wants. the can-opening is just his way in.

i know we can assume that the red suit design was only made for tale of two stans and didnt exist when blendin's game was made + with the question mark pattern it would be more of a pain to animate, but the timing works out so that after stan hit rock bottom again in 1998 where not even his natural talent at running the mystery shack was lasting, he finally gave in and started wearing his dad's old suit...

not one day goes by where i don’t think about the fact that this was real and actually happened

[Battle amidst Thunderstorms]⚔️ (‼️My MC Alice‼️)

“A fight to determine the correct way of drinking tea“ - A title more befitting in my humble opinion but alright then.

Lucifer called her a pathetic human, but he knows that Alice was a former swordswoman, yet he challenged her anyway. She didn‘t let that slide. But Lucifer never admitted defeat or anything in that sort. That ought to teach him a lesson.

hi there! I just found your blog looking for gifs/pics of Benedict Cumberbatch from the movie Power Of The Dog.... I think you know from which scenes if you know what I mean lmao *wink*... anyway, I gotta say I love your blog and I love Benedict, don't mind me just mass liking your posts of that sexy sexy man *drool* - I especially love your tag 'patron saint of sinful women' *drools more*

Thank you so much for the many, many likes, my dear - it's been wonderful looking back at older posts of My Beautiful Obsession when they come up in my notifications, as well as rediscovering some of the sauciest tags and other things I've written about him! Benedict is a gift that keeps on giving, and I (like most of the fandom) find that he just gets more delightful & delicious with each passing year.

If you haven't already discovered his large body of work (I'm guessing you've seen his Doctor Strange & Sherlock Holmes), you should check out his Khan from Star Trek: Into Darkness

as well as the series Patrick Melrose and Eric, both on Netflix, and the movies The Courier and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, to name just a few. He's such an amazing, talented Actor that I adored him for his talent well before his sex appeal enthralled me.

Of course, I'm now & forever an admirer - and have penned tens of thousands of words in fics based on his characters. Though I'm currently in a long bout of writer's block😔😔, Benedict remains My Constant Muse; the very reason I rediscovered I could write at all, inspired by his creativity.

(I call his Hamlet 'my sweet ginger prince'😍)

And please allow me to thank you for your patience awaiting a reply - I never mean to fall into such untimely delays, but oftentimes Real Life gets in the way. Please accept a loving Stephen to make up for the long wait.

I physically need Bioware to release some sort of Faction spotlight for Veilguard. I physically need to see those promised different casual outfits and armors for different factions.

i found it a bit amusing that tav was wearing fancier clothes than astarion in the epilogue. can't help but to imagine that astarion made the outfit, but ran out of time to make his own, so he just decorated one of his old jackets with silver paint.

anyone else ever been tempted to write for a ship you don't really ship because you had an idea that won't go away?

[sensitivedead]

i have an instagram account that i post all my rambling long thoughts to that is private and secluded. its been years but im at hundreds of hundreds of posts at this time, am i denying myself something by keeping my thoughts fully secluded or should i post them here?

[shredsandpatches]

Really want to see the church scene in Gounod Faust staged with Marguerite and Mephistopheles on opposite sides of a confessional screen (I would not be surprised if this is common but I haven't seen that many productions). I think it'd really underscore the psychological/spiritual horror and violation going on in that scene.

me: who would spend upwards of $350 on a scratchy color-block sweater just cuz some damp little man wore it in a silly vampire movie?

also me: I'm gonna spend upwards of $800 on high quality suiting wool to make a 3 piece replica of a ratty suit that the exact same damp little man wore in a silly vampire movie
