Can you imagine how fucking angry Neil was when he heard Jean say “So Drake’s not a biter then.”
Because I can.
In that one sentence Neil learned 2 things.
1) That Jean was sexually assaulted
2) What he (Jean) went through was something akin to what Andrew went through with Drake.
I also think that reminded him of everything (that he knows) Drake did to Andrew. I think it reminded him of the time when Drake ambushed him and was paid by Riko to do so. I think it reminded Neil that both of those bastards got of way too fucking easily.
I think Neil put a hit on Grayson not only for Jean, but also for Andrew, Kevin, himself and anyone else who was hurt by Riko, Grayson and Drake (that last one might be a stretch but you get my point).
I think Neil felt so angry and helpless at that point and when he was presented with an opportunity to properly get rid of someone’s abuser, he took it.

Buddie prompt:
A few days before the wedding
Marisol: So do you ever think of getting married again..? Maybe… somewhere nice in the autumn?
Eddie (barely paying attention): Nah, Buck would want a spring wedding for sure
Marisol: … Buck?
Eddie: ohshit
Then Eddie shows up single and alone at the wedding and gets absolutely hammered and refuses to discuss it

I was seeing the comic of Emmets self destructing behavior even after he and Ingo reunited and wow… that implication it’s not the first time…
How many times must have this happened? How many times until Ingo knew snapping him out by a gentle hand on his shoulder? What bad habits did Emmet develop while being on his own? With "Ingo" encouraging him to be more healthy? Just so deliciously dark! I love it?
On the other hand how much strain Ingo's body going through when he has his moments he sees "the man in white" his body switches to "life-or-death-mode" receiving a little bruise could cause him to fall into full panic mode and try to treat it like a lethal wound if not for Emmet snapping him out of it and calming him down again.
While both have their moments of seeing their subconscious guardian angel both react differently.
Emmet is apathetic towards "Ingo" dismissing him since he’s not even there. He reacts mentally.
Ingo’s whole body could react to small bruises and injuries like they could kill him and depending on his support to get through it. He reacts with his whole body.
Also when Ingo’s aware he’s probably insecure about all the scars he’s got on him now. How many times he almost died… he doesn’t want the real Emmet to know. It’s bad enough that "the man in white knows"…
YES YES!!! This analysis is so perfect!!! If you'd allow me to ramble a bit...
Emmet's self destructive tendencies have been going on for a while since Ingo's disappearance. He has his Elesa and his depot agents to support him/remind him to not truly forget about himself (Elesa trying to take more time off from her job to check on Emmet/invite him out to lunch to make sure he eats, the veteran depot agents frequently checking up on him during the day/encouraging him take more breaks/interrupting his smoke breaks "accidentally", ect) but it's been hard to say the least. It will take some time for these habits to truly go away even with Ingo back, especially on his bad days.
BUT ALSO YEAH! Ingo! If Emmet appears at the corner of his eye suddenly or he sees him from a distance (any sort of blurred visage - as the man in white always appeared as) he might have a knee jerk response - a sudden urge to run or seek safety - but ultimately it won't be too serious.
His body reacts the most drastically when he is already in a state of injury and Emmet is within eyesight. Elevated heart rate, shortness of breathe, blurred vision, body tremors: his adrenaline levels will spike to an unnatural level causing a ton of stress on the body, since his mind is basically telling his body that he's on the brink of death. The quickest way to calm him down if it were to get this bad would be to have Emmet out of his sight until he can calm down...Not very ideal when the source of one's panic works the same job as you, in a work environment where slight injuries aren't too uncommon

having young justice thoughts again and. wow. they really just exemplify the desperation and intimacy of teenage friendship don’t they.
like this line my god. there’s this forced proximity that constructs such bone deep bonds. you’re not just close cause you have similar interests or worldviews, you’re close in a way that can mean you know each other better than you know yourself. and there’s this paradoxical immortality and ephemerality to it because in the moment all you focus on is the feeling, that need to cling onto each other that lengthens seconds into hours. but underneath it all is that looming threat of adulthood that threatens to rip it at the seams through the pressure of responsibility and expectation.
as much as I have mixed feelings on graduation day lol. I think it captures that conflict in an interesting way. because despite their bond, it’s not enough and they rip themselves apart under the pressure. BUT. and I think this is a core part of teenage friendship (ESPECIALLY queer teen friendships but conversation for another day). they rebuild, they drift towards each other again and sew patches on the rips. because ultimately, nothing can hope to replace that bond they have with each other. so they’ll stitch themselves back together no matter what, not just cause they want to, but because they HAVE to.
