I mean like, we see her shift her attention the first time Marcille says her name, strategizing/doing things intently, recognized Laios enough to say his name when he was stepping towards her with intent (what was she gonna do next? who knows! *someone* decided to stab her b4 we could get an 'I know yer in there' attempt), smashed Kabru but not Laios even thou Laios was holding him up and that would have been simpler, was enunciating spells that had to be from her memory, and didn't trample the huddle containing Marcille and Laios on her way out even though she could have and was clearly upset...

I'm just saying there's a bunch of Falin in that dragon... how much? who knows, but it is something that I would have liked to have had a good solid answer to.

Not bees understand the concept of zero. Wild.

like i dont know i think that toshiro (im not calling him shuro) is okay to feel negatively towards laios considering laios hit him with like 10 microaggressions within the first hour of them knowing each other but also bro you gotta tell him you dont like him. the fuck man

#i love laios so much#it hurts to see how hard he tries to be good and good with people despite not really grasping how and thinking he's doing well#only to realize he's been breaking unspoken rules & his own friends don't actually like him much and find him dense and annoying#and others suspect him of being outright -malevolent- just because they can't understand why someone would be so -honest- & -strange- (via @blinkpen)

something something neurotypical society portrays/views autistic men as creepy/perverted something something ryoko kui acknowledges this in relation to how other dunmeshi characters view laios and depicts how harmful that stereotype is

Everyone: Laios is a generic blond human fighter!

Laios: Learns healing magic, can sense the presence of undead when nobody else can, is constantly being contacted by a higher power.

Y'all, Laios isn't a generic fighter. He's a paladin.

The party really just left Laios to trip out on the hardwood floor, didn't even give him a blanket or a snack or nothing.

'#oh but achi the null void is a hellhole they can't do much damage'#please remember what animo did just being able to control the null guardians#what the fuck will somebody who can and is happy to brainwash people and who has no reason not to anymore going to be able to accomplish (via op)

Okay so Kevin and a bunch of other people are snatched up a branch of the Plumbers. They're subjected to what is clearly for him painful experimentation, him and most of those that aren't presumably killed being trained as child soldiers by the creepy, manipulative, and most likely violent asshole running the joint. This same asshole not only eventually casts them all out into the wastes after wiping their memories, but also reprograms at least Kevin into a sleeper agent, including giving him memories of a fake father in order to push him towards joining the Plumbers himself.

This same fucker eventually comes to collect him for more experimenting, he and his team doing a shitload of damage just because they can. When he catches him and begins to take him away, despite having an idea of their plans the head Plumber in the region- his girlfriend's grandfather- only stops them when he realizes the asshole has mucked with his head as well to get him to keep an eye on his "experiments" (the actual word Max uses to describe them by the way).

After an escape followed by a long and stressful ordeal that ends in Kevin defeating asshole and his team, finally the Plumbers do something. The highest up in the Plumbers shows up and not only directly states that this isn't getting out, nobody can ever know, and that that these fuckers are above the law, but then just takes all the evidence and the base and otherwise leaves Team Asshole in the Null Void. An act that isn't even as big a punishment as it is for other people due to their training and still having basic supplies in their specialty uniforms, and does nothing to protect people from them and the brainwashing the asshole is very much and very openly capable of. So really the fuckers have at best been unleashed on a populated area with nothing left to lose.

And then the higher up just leaves, without sparing so much as a glance at the victims of a so-called experiment that they didn't keep any sort of eye on at best. There is and will be no trial, the only people held accountable have just been dropped on a load of unsuspecting people with nothing to protect them, after all this lot are above the law. There is and will never be any sort of acknowledgement of the trauma the victims all gone through, or even so much as an 'it sucks you went through that'. The matter is dealt with, everybody is expected to sit down, shut up, and be glad it's supposedly over.

And then this fucking show had the audacity to try to tell me Kevin went back to working with the Plumbers after that.

Am I saying that between his standing against Servantis in the end seeming as much if not more a matter of spite than anything, combined with his willingness to not even consider other potential methods of handling things during the Ultimate Kevin arc in favor of jumping straight to 'well he always was awful, kill him now', and the way he immeidately went 'well fuck that entire family no matter what' with the Validuses, leaves me feeling like Max's always cared a shitload less about Kevin than he and the show would like one to think and in fact has and will continue to think of him as just a violent criminal looking for a place to happen that he has to put up with because the cousins are Family?

Yes. Yes I am.

The thing with the whole 'oh the Rooters were allowed to operate as an experiment but oh no we never thought they'd pull this shit' is that the only way it can work is if there was literally no oversight. Because it's not like Servantis and his team are any sort of subtle.

I mean these fuckers showed up to another base without warning and immediately became fucking around with people's heads, utilizing implicit threats, jumping to violence as soon as they got the chance, openly spoke about how they were using kids as fucking test subjects, etc, when they had plenty of other options that would have been less effort for them. Even when dealing with the kids, the fuckers they were shown being the most subtle with, the lack of response to the thrown truck in the flashback, plus the keeping Argit in a cage and- if Phil's response to him is any indication- continuing to run experiments on him, show that they weren't even being all that subtle there.

These fuckers were active for at least seven years under Servantis, if not more. They don't seem to have any desire, concern, or anything about pretending to not be absolute pieces of shit. And I doubt they weren't throwing up red flags before Servantis got the mind-fucking powers, given fucking look at them and their behavior. Much like my opinion on Phil specifically- there is no way in hell that these attitudes and ideas just suddenly started. So, how the fuck did they manage to fly under the radar when they should have been a flashing neon warning sign? Really, the best options as far as explanations are

The Plumbers just sent them money and as long as they kept putting out tech didn't give them a second thought until the Top Hero got involved and they couldn't ignore them anymore

The Plumbers knew what was going on but for some reason or another didn't do anything until the fucking Top Hero got involved and they had to cover their asses to keep him backing them

The Plumbers were actively supporting their shit and once the Top Hero got involved had to lie about their involvement to cover their asses to keep him backing them

folks at work had a party. There were balloons. I got permission to introduce dogs to novel stimuli: A balloon.

Results were as predicted. Neophobic dogs weren't really rocking with it. The bolder dogs came up to sniff it. The dogs that really like toys wanted to play with it.

Genuses of The Normal One:

The Normal One in their own mind

The Normal One, relatively speaking

The Normal One while they're on the clock

The Normal One if you're not paying attention

The Normal One as long as you don't mention the thing

The Normal One because the subject honestly never came up

The Normal One in the sense that whatever's wrong with them perfectly counterbalances everybody else's dysfunctions

The Normal One because they own a car
