I just watched the video the try guys released about ned and while Zachs very outward sadness and Keith's clear disappointment hurts, Eugene's sadness that he is masking as anger kills me. he may look absolutely furious but you can hear in his voice, especially towards the end, just how upset he is.

also i think there's a tendency to cherrypick tim's moments of morally grey thought musings as a gotcha for the idea that tim is totally cool with murder and just one bad day away from shanking someone only kept in line by the "rules", when in reality. tim's thoughts of moral greyness, the ruminations on what they're doing and why they're doing it the way they do and why they can't cross the line they set. he's not. alone in that. like. at ALL. dick has reckoned with wanting to kill someone (sigh. the joker). dick lowkey didn't want to give someone a chance at redemption simply because he hurt bruce (bane). bruce has thought about killing (and almost killed) both the joker & black mask. bruce is very frequently ruminating on his role and why he can't kill even if he wants to. barbara has very seriously considered killing and has wanted to kill. cassandra has killed and used that as the basis of her staunch belief that nobody dies tonight, but she's also still in frequent conversation with what that means ethically and morally. tim having doubts or trying to remind himself why they do what they do or debating their rules to himself is not some grand outlying abnormality here, it's par for the fucking course.

OK LISTEN cockwarming is such a weakness for me too but also thinking abt how maybe you're a little touch starved and so you kinda let him get away with more than you should. And like he's a smooth talker using those poetic turns of phrase to make you fall for his little tricks. His attention and affection just feels so good and even though you know it's fucked up you kinda have a crush on him. But like you're not really related anyway and it's not like you're gonna date him you're just... feeling good with him (as he puts it)

But also, the mask... Of course you've seen it in his room (he's messy) and you're sure the noises of your masked visitor are his, but he always plays dumb if you say anything. And sometimes it's a little different... sometimes the voice is a different pitch and he's not doing the moves he usually does and it just feels different (smaller cock RIP) and you get the feeling it's one of his friends or something (or your other stepbro Choso when you hear that whimper......) but you can't really pin it and it still feels good and it's not like you were totally sure it was Sukuna the other times anyway...

my god. the way this affected me physically…. your mind!

cockwarming him when it's raining and he sneaks into your room. the sound of the rain pattering on the window, his dick moving slowly and sometimes unnoticed inside of you, his fingers on your waist keeping you still. sometimes the throbbing of your pussy, squeezing around him is enough to make him cum inside you (which you later reproach him for, he is not supposed to do that).

and of course, the mask. it serves to pretend you don't know it's him, to ignore a little of the shame that burns inside you at the thought of what you’re doing. how can something that feels so good be bad? so you just focus on his eyes as he grabs your wrists and pulls it up to the level of your head.

he even sometimes pulls up his mask to kiss you and bite your jaw and neck and you can just watch his lips turn into a wicked smile as he talks dirty to you guiding you to orgasm.

I have a friend who, like Splinter, calls them by their mask colors so I decided to get a little Silly with it (Leo is insisting Donnie Must lick the helmet if he really wants to sell this charade)

Guys we already know that Sun also has his memories wiped by Afton but has anyone picked up on the fact that Afton also manipulates both Sun and Moon to hate each other?

I mean listen.

They are both so deeply convinced that the other is a monster. It's not just some manipulative tactic to keep the reader for themselves (as I thought for Sun in the beginning tbh). They really do think it's the truth. But how did they end up thinking this way, and why?

Welp those are very interesting questions but they're not exactly the right ones. What we have to ask here is who does this hatred profit to?

And here we have an answer, and this answer is William Afton.

Why? Because as long as they hate each other, they 1) forget that he's the one controlling them because they both have a scapegoat to blame for their situation and 2) can't team up to beat him, leaving them isolated and powerless.

Which is so damn clever to be honest.

So yes Afton erases their memories, but I also believe he takes this opportunity to fill in the blanks with some made up stories and/or manipulate the truth to nourish their hatred.

The worst part is the fact that he doesn't have to participate that much in it: all he has to do is twist the facts just enough for them to drift apart and stop communicating, and the rest is only a vicious circle of misunderstandings, negative emotions and lack of communication, that will never stop unless they actively seek to break that pattern and communicate.

For now I think Moon is the one who would recognise this pattern the most easily, because he's the most logical one of the two, and he already knows that Sun is being manipulated as well and experiences memory losses, he just doesn't know to what extent this affects his counterpart. Whereas Sun is in complete denial of it all, covering it with some sort of toxic positivity, and the narrative he gives is incredibly self-centred and based on his feelings rather than the facts, making it impossible for him to see the whole picture.

Reader have a crucial role in this dynamic, because both Sun and Moon care about them deeply, making them more keen on listening to y/n and taking their words into account. This is both a disadvantage and a good news: reader can aggravate this circle if they start picking sides and talking negatively about one of them to the other, but on the other hand, they could be able to push through the mutual hatred and get them to talk together again, with a common goal for the two of them: keeping y/n safe, and maybe, break free from Afton's emprise.

Anyway thank you for listening to my rants, I had to type this WHOLE SHIT twice because Tumblr didn't save my first draft lmao

it’s kinda funny to me how that dumb scene in kiwami 1 of majima getting shot and left for dead in the harbor was basically just added as a half-assed way to explain majima not being around for a bit of the plot, but they accidentally(?) just made it seem like start of a chain reaction where majima ended up feeling slighted and heartbroken after being abandoned like that and then lashed out about it via smashing a big truck into the building kiryu was in. and yeah that isn’t inherently a romantic thing as-is but then they go and add the part where majima grabs a hostess and performatively hits on her as in-kiryu’s-face as possible, she says she’s already in love with someone, and majima lets her go immediately, no questions asked, making a big fucking point of it just to say see THAT kiryu? I appreciate when people are HONEST about their FEELINGS. people who won’t just BACKSTAB someone who CARES about them to save themselves. is that so crazy kiryu?? huh??? anyway make it up to me get down here and fight me right fucking now

I'm listening to Ogerpon's theme... she holds the memory of her partner in every battle she fights... it creates a warmth in her heart that lends itself even to her most selfish and greedy enemies...

I think she would spare Pecharunt, even after everything it did. And not in like a 'killing you would make me just as bad as you' way

But rather in a 'I am at peace with my past and even though you may deserve death, there's a stubbornness within me that pushes me to make you realize the error of your ways, and fight for your self-improvement despite the guilt' way

Because Ogerpon's silly like that
