What a strange party

In your universe, are Mikey's brothers part of his subconscious, or are they actually ghosts? Did he stop seeing and hearing them after killing Hiroto/running away with the kids?

Knowing back on how some version of the turtles are confirmed to have psychosis (strongly looking at 2012 leo and mikey), I'm going with that knowledge and confirming that in the AU the "ghosts" of ronin Mikey's brothers are hallucinations caused by psychosis that developed because of extreme events happening all at once in his life (also mixing with his depression, extreme stress, isolation and deep grief).

He does stop seeing them and hearing them after running away with the babies. Taking care of them (getting to realize he wants to live in the long run and seeing the babies as reasons to stay alive at first, help monumentally) and being away from all the fighting help lots to his mental health!

Mikey saw "his brothers" for the last time ever when he was setting the lair on fire.

imagine mc who actually hates the brothers' fighting, teasing them and stuff but pretends to be okay with it for the sake of peace, when they're back to human world they finally don't have to pretend anymore but bcs of the anger they've been bottling up they're VERY bitter and grumpy

so when the bros and side characters visit them or just see them again they're like "thats?? that's mc???"

Well I think it depends on how good MC is at pretending... but it's amazing what a person who bottles their feelings is capable of. (Not that I'd know anything about that at all...)

A lot of times the one who seems to have everything together or who appears to be the happiest is the one struggling the most. They just hold it in for whatever reason and go out of their way to hide it. I like to think that some of the characters might be able to pick up on it anyway, but the reality is that they probably wouldn't.

So MC goes back to the human world and doesn't know how to properly process all that stuff they've been holding inside. So instead they're just grouchy lol.

I'm imagining the brothers being like ah yes this must be happening because MC misses us so much! They're grumpy because they don't want us to leave. :(

I like to think the side characters would at the very least understand what's really going on with MC, but I'm also biased. So they could be just as baffled by MC's sudden change in personality.

If I was writing a story like this, I would make MC have a breakdown once the other characters came to visit. Finally saying all the things they wanted to say back in the Devildom, but didn't believe they could. Just because I wouldn't want MC to suffer through keeping all that inside forever! And if the brothers annoyed them that much, then they need to hear about it. Poor MC!

WHEN DO YOU GAZE AT YOUR SOULMATE?

when they're getting ready for the day.

this is all you've ever wanted. you and them and the promise of a future. you should be getting ready too. but you lay in bed for a moment, still feeling the traces of their warmth on the sheets, their scent on your skin. you watch how carefully they choose their outfit for the day. you watch as they pair the colours. you memorize that face they make when they stand at the mirror checking every detail. you savour how routine it is. you savour it because you both earned it. there is something precious in the domesticity and you vow to never take it for granted.

Thinking a LOT about Lucifer in the latest Hazbin episode. Idk what I was expecting but not this??

As I was watching my immediate thought was just "huh... Lucifer is kinda of weird..." but as the episode went on I realized the issue

the dude is off the chain depressed, like he says it as a joke but holy cow it is SO BAD

He's manically just creating rubber ducks cuz his daughter really like it that one time but it's empty, it's never good enough but he keeps doing it, maybe cuz he doesn't know how to pass the time otherwise.

like I get the feeling he HAS better things he SHOULD be doing than making rubber duck after rubber duck. At first I was like, "Bruh why isn't the king of hell doing anything?" aaaaand then it became clear...

The dude is disassociating so bad he can barely hold a conversation let alone remember information. He clearly WANTS to, he wants to be involved with his daughter so bad, he wants to care about the things she's doing so bad, but his depression keeps interfering. It's like he can only hear every other word and he grasps onto the ones he does hear semi-out of context. Like you can see every time he catches something that he hadn't before and he just "well shit I didn't catch that part"

and that's why he reacts so weird when people talk to him. He is struggling so bad to engage with the conversation he's only getting 50% of it

does that look like the face of a man who knows what the hell the conversation is even about??? he is STRUGGLING

like Charlie spent so long telling him about the hotel, and he STILL didn't understand what she wanted. Yeah it comes off as ditzy but literally I've been in that position where your brain just "nope, not doing this right now" and nerfs your conversation comprehension. So as someone who's BEEN in that position, to me it feels exactly like what he's dealing with. He's sorta engaged with the conversation, but only as much as his brain will allow

For example, when I'm dealing with this, this is what someone talking to me feels like this where the crossed out parts are what I missed and bold is what I catch, "Hey! You know I was thinking for dinner we could either make some chicken with rice? But if you don't feel like cooking, pasta is super easy and you love that right? What do you want to do?" you can kinda get that someone is trying to talk to you about dinner, and towards the end you get the impression that they asked something that needs your input so you can decently put 2 and 2 together and try and pass off, but crucial bits were left out, I would have no idea that either chicken or pasta is in the conversation only having heard "rice". When someone is just talking at me, I can decently pass off as being engaged but the second I'm required to participate in the conversation I'm screwed. Seem familiar? At which point I have 2 options, try to give a bullshit answer, or admit that I missed what they were saying and ask them to repeat

Lucifer, unfortunately, is trying so damn hard to hide that he's dealing with like 24/7 dissociation, so he can't admit that he's missing entire chunks of the conversation, hence his really weird replies. He does eventually get the full picture and then he and Charlie start having the real conversation

Also, the Alastor/Lucifer rivalry was hilarious but also really indicative of more of what Lucifer is dealing with

Alastor is, unfortunately, really good at picking up people's insecurities, and thanks to Charlie's description earlier and watching Lucifer clearly trying to overcompensate, he immediately picks up on the fact that Lucifer KNOWS he struggles to be a good dad (we know cuz it's cuz of the depression, hard to be engaged when your brain keeps turning off) and decides to rub salt in the wound by pretending he's been acting as a surrogate father to Charlie. Now why Alastor decided to pick a fight with the king of hell is beyond me, I do not understand Alastor (and I LIKE IT) (maybe it's cuz Alastor thinks he's hot shit and was expecting Lucifer to at least have heard of him but Lucifer just treats him like a nobody? who knows)(why would Lucifer listen to radio anyways when he can't even pay attention to a conversation it'd just be white noise)

But yeah I just was expecting someone who oozed either charisma or presence and instead I got a depressed dad who's dissociating so bad he can barely function and be present in his life. The only thing it seems he CAN do is make rubber ducks cuz his daughter really liked it that one time

Idk Lucifer is tragic to me. Whatever the full details of what heavan did to him absolutely broke him and he can't deal with it. He's aware of it, and he doesn't know how to fix it, so he tries to over compensate and sorta makes an ass out of himself but no one says or does anything cuz this guy is supposed to be THE king of hell

Suddenly it's making a lot more sense why he just rolls over and lets heaven do what it wants and even told Charlie to go in his place the start of the show. He's not in any headspace to hold a basic conversation let alone negotiate! He didn't even know who Alastor was, he's been so out of touch

idk I like him, he seems sweet, I hope Charlie brings some light back into his life. He really needs to get out of that rubber duck room

he did it! 🐍 and it only took...uhhh...well, there probably could've been less punches, but why hold back!

PUNCHES FOR EVERYONE

Nico referring to his mom as "Mama" implies he most likely at least used to refer to Hades as "Papa" and i 100% headcanon he still does but mostly in the manner of him having the entire Underworld wrapped around his finger for being the baby of the family
