I regret to inform you all that I have been The Killed 😔
(in the horror movie the gc vaguely spitballed, featuring @wildfandom as The Killer, me as the comic relief that dies tragically in a hunted for sport incident that shifts the tone of the narrative, @nosongunsung11 as the hot one who almost makes it through but winds up bleeding out even more tragically on the chapel steps, and @luckywishi as the Tragic Hero and Final Girl (gn) who doesn’t get The Killed but god at what cost)
Based off this drawing challenge by @1percentcharge!! (Other horror movie sketches and animatic under the cut)
The thing about being a bitch and a hater is that you need to be charismatic about it for people to still like you somehow. And most importantly you need to be a poor little meow meow people will want to help see win.
"You're not his family. You're not anyone's family, Grayson."
Talia said that to Dick when Bruce was standing right there?? Dick's literal fucking dad?? And Bruce didn't even try to defend Dick??
You know what, no. We're just gonna ignore everything about this story *cough* except for the part where Dick said Damian means the world to him because that's obvious enough. *cough*
yall guys didn't even hear me rant about how fucked it is that Dream was not allowed to mourn his raven and how his feelings been bluntly disregarded because clearly someone else knows best for how he should mourn the loss of his companion
Scott's relationship with Jimmy and Pearl is interesting to me
Scott's LL and DL dynamic with Pearl is a bit clearer, where they both loved each other in LL while in DL Pearl began with love for Scott (why wouldn't she?), but Scott didn't share that love for her
Scott also clearly shows that he didn't like Pearl in DL, publicly rejecting her and spreading the story that's she's crazy
With Jimmy, it's interesting because... while I'm pretty sure Jimmy loved Scott, I am however not sure Scott loved Jimmy.
Scott tries to paint the picture that they were perfect together, but that just doesn't line up with how he behaves when it comes to Jimmy
For example he extended sympathies to Tango in DL for being teammates with Jimmy, I don't think you would do that if you actually enjoyed being teamed with him in 3rd life
Now, the thing that gets me is that with Pearl, Scott tries to make up to her, because he saw he was wrong. With Jimmy, he still clings to that image of 'the perfect relationship' of 3rd life
I think at least, idk, I'm not Scott, I don't know what's going on inside his brain
I do wish I could understand Scott's motivations sometimes, I love him but he is so confusing to me
Anyways, sorry for writing a lot without actually making a point, I just need to share my thoughts with someone who has a similar 3rd life FH interpretation as me
Sidenote: I use the word 'love' here as the broad term for it, so when I say that Pearl and Scott loved each other in LL, I do not mean they loved each other romantically
hello hello so I dont actually have a lot to add to this bc I think a lot of us are all on the same page about this already buuuuuuut I do have some thoughts on this:
“Now, the thing that gets me is that with Pearl, Scott tries to make up to her, because he saw he was wrong. With Jimmy, he still clings to that image of 'the perfect relationship' of 3rd life”
There’s a few reasons for this (pearl is better at the game than jimmy, scott doesnt see the inherent worth in people and therefore scott doesnt really see jimmy as like. a person) but a really interesting angle to take on this is to examine the difference between how Scott views his platonic and romantic relationships. Granted this is a lot more speculatory than strictly citation based, the only things I’m citing here are Scott’s two perfect jimmy after life endings where the roles are very clear cut despite jimmy not really being. Like That. As well as Scott’s weird fixation on jimmy in particular in DL and beyond (but particularly how he goes about it in limlife + SL as DL is more just outright bullying than weird flirting).
While Scott is still weird about Pearl too sometimes, Pearl is more often the one to bring it up first and most the time I think Scott likes to pretend he doesn’t give a shit about her anymore. Because Scott puts romantic relationships up on a pedestal, he has more rigid expectations about how his relationship with Jimmy was supposed to have actually been like, so in retrospect he’s a lot more willing to glorify it and romanticize what they had than he otherwise would be. He needs to cling on to this whole hopeless romantic with a tragic love schtick as part of his identity or else he dies even though the only genuine human connections he’s made in his entire life have been platonic. He just likes the appeal of being a romantic in theory because he values dedication and loyalty in a way that resonates with the stereotypical storybook romance.
I honestly don't think Shiro is such a push over just cause he's Japanese I feel I need to clarify some of my recent posts. Shiros personality is very pacifist when it comes to dealing with issues, he runs away from home when his father pressures him too much, he puts his faith in the elves to fix the dungeon problems (he does stand up for himself ill get there shut up) at times Maizuru bosses him around a bit, even though she's clearly uncomfortable breaking rank like that. I'm not from Asia so I don't know the culture very well but I've seen and read enough to know that being respectful of those around you is highly valued and pushed to, what I think is, an extreme. And I do think we see this with Shiro, he clearly sticks to this ideas he's been raised with on what is and isn't polite even when the situation clearly doesn't suit this method of communication. Shiro never sets boundaries with Laois and grows to resent him because of this and while it's very much because he wants to be polite I think it's also his personality. And my big evidence or whatever is that he overcomes this and learns to stand up for himself, speak his mind and finally return home to take on his mantel as head of his household (i read a fan translation that said he needed to become head of his clan but I'm not sure if that's cannon so I'll just say household). Honestly I think he's a very good character, I think he has two sides (how dare he be so rude to Laois who didn't understand him) vs (Laois bulldozed this poor man and butchered his name for years no wonder he's so angry), is important to the progression of the story as well as other characters growth and I think he has a very satisfying character arc with a happy conclusion where he's more confident and comfortable in himself. And I'm really happy for him! I think he's a good and important character and not just because I'm in love with his party members (Maizuru pls call me back). Honestly all my hate towards him stems from his treatment of Falin and how he clearly doesn't understand her. Sure by the end of the manga he's grown and realised it'd never work out between them but some crimes (manic pixie dream girlification of Falin) can never be forgiven. Yes I am projecting my treatment as a girl with adhd by men who think I'm interesting or quirky or whatever onto him shut up!!!!
Turns out having been passively suicidal for 27 years and then suddenly having dreams, ambitions and things you want to do and see in life is terrifying. You people live like this? All of the time?
i wanna watch the next ep to find out what happens to freddie and hear about will’s plan explicitly but then the next ep is mizumono and i simply cant rn
Have you seen the Heroes and Villains shirts that are being released in connection with the liveshow?
I did but I am also trying not to think about it cause Kingsley isn't on them with the rest of the Nein and as soon as I saw that my heart just dropped ;;
𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐢, 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐫, 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭. He feels strongly and deeply, as greedily as oceans plunge far, and he feels oh so longly, long like memory. Levi's humanity's strongest. Levi bears that weight. He takes up that mantle, and with it, carries the hearts and wishes of all those dead that fell before him. He's invested in human lives, in humanity as a whole, and every death he's seen has to mean something. Every death he's ordered. It's a need. A lifeline. He loathes reckless death the most, needless slaughter and wasted lives, and it shows itself plainly in every excursion. He wants his men to live. It sobers him when they don't. And he knows, very much knows, that he isn't responsible for every soldier's death, but as he's always the last one standing, the one stood breathing with the dead, how he carries their name is his duty. All this angry slaughter -- it has to mean something. No. Captain is emotional. He feels more than he ever lets on. He knows dying's an expectation, understands their job toes suicidal, but he believes in what they do, and he believes utterly in man. He's made so many sacrifices, has given his body and buried old friends both, and neither are choices he regrets. Freedom -- that's what they'd all wanted, after all. And even with Erwin gone, wild Hange, and his tattered squad and friends whose voices he slowly comes to forget, Levi let them all go because they'd rather themselves than humanity's downfall. He made the tough choice to say goodbye. And he made the tougher choice to fight and triumph in their stead.
what if violante talked gale out of the whole ascension to godhood thing. and what if she died at the end of it all. and what if gale, crushed by the insurmountable grief, decided to use the crown. and what if he brought her back from the lands of deads. and what if violante is insanely angered with him for that but also fond of that feeling that brought him to defile the laws of nature. and what if she's forever bound to him now, and she hates him but she loves him and it's going to be eternal
