Hank leaving Rose to die and Moldaver caring for Rose even after she becomes a rotting zombie is peak straight male versus lesbian behavior.

very hot of her

I'm surprised I haven't seen any posts hyping up lucy's best look in the series (white tank top covered in blood). anyways

guys i don't believe yall wanna fuck the ghoul. he's stinky!! he smells!! how long has he been under the ground??? and the same clothes for 200 hundred years??? be serious

maybe if he take a shower. change clothes. standards!!!

i felt so validated by Jean not knowing words that I was literally about to look up on google translate 🫡

jean to kevin and neil the whole book (mostly kevin):

in another life... i would be your boy... we keep all our promises... be us against the world... in another life... i would make you stay.... so I don't have to say you were the one that got away

they make me INSANE

making me genuinely ill how much of the jean/neil dynamic is confined to insane, unspoken could-have-beens.

jean attaches such a fierce sense of longing to the idea of neil and what he represents as a would-be raven, the idea that in another life he might not have been so alone. that he would have had someone who both understood his position (like kevin did) and stood on equal footing with him (like kevin and the other ravens never quite could).

it's why he's so persistent in thinking of him as nathaniel for the first half of tsc. it's not just raven indoctrination, it's a kind of fucked up bitter longing. he hates neil for not coming to evermore. he hates him even more for coming to evermore at the wrong time, in the wrong way. and yet he looks out for him!! like kevin knew he would, even after everything!!!

and then riko's dead and the ravens are fucked and none of it even MATTERS anymore!! like jean said, nathaniel was meant to be something to him, but neil is none of his concern. they're nothing to each other. they could have been everything. i'm going to drink cement!!!

it almost makes me sad, given how little neil even thinks about jean in tkm. like he has his own life, his foxes, and he doesn't have to let go the way jean does. and yet neil included him in the deal with ichirou. he has grayson killed for threatening his second chance. he makes defeating riko for jean too. he says it's about paying debts (which i certainly think is true on some level), but i don't think that means there's nothing more there

and now, after everything, they're going to be known to everyone as childhood friends. mafia brats bonded in the face of their horrific childhoods. its such a perverse echo of what they never got to be to each other, and they're going to have to pretend it's real!! i'm losing my fucking mind!!!

honestly me

i really do think im perfectly positioned to enjoy the sunshine court. ive barely dabbled in jean headcanons and therefore cant be disappointed by their contradictions and moreover. im obsessed w noras ability to write characters who are undeniably victims but also such fucking dicks

kevin day fully deserves his pretty privileges and whoever has a problem with it can take it up with me

i think renee and i should date. that would fix me

jean moreau/happiness when??

I just... he had a little sister that he loved more than anything. he followed thea around like a lost little duckling. he was in love with his best friend and it almost destroyed him. he uses pain to both punish himself and stave off panic attacks. he survived five years of brutal torture and abuse by the skin of his teeth. his parents sold him. his little sister is dead. he wants to burn the house down. he cannot cook or shop for himself. he hates his old teammates. he loves his old teammates. he quite possibly loves his new teammates even more. he frets for the safety of people he barely knows. he's terrified of water, of being bitten, of being hurt again. he laughed when his worst abuser was dethroned and beaten and then tried to kill himself in solidarity.

he's finding reasons to live, day by day, one step at a time. a cool evening breeze, rainbows, open roads, friends.

he is jean moreau. he knows his place. he will endure.

i want to study his brain

neil in aftg can pass off as like… Almost borderline semi-normal kid who’s found himself in insane circumstances when rlly all he wants to do is play a crazy sport because he looks at andrew’s problems and kevin’s lack of spine and riko’s entire existence and he does believe he’s almost borderline semi-normal. just a paranoid liar bc his dad wants to murder him. then u see him from an outsider’s pov and he’s damn near psychotic arranging a hit on someone while on a lunch date with his gangster uncle and the guy who taped his skin back together after continuous torture not even a year ago and he does it without breaking a sweat while stringing up a series of lies to feed to the FBI. character or ALL time

is he wrong??

terms that jean uses for neil in the sunshine court:

tiny bastard

tedious malcontent

abominable cockroach

wretched little runaway

it's okay babe, you can say daddy issues, i believe in you

Me writing meta about Tom Riddle: *checks the book 3 times for accuracy, extrapolates based on the text, clearly denotes things that are just headcanons not specifically supported by evidence*

Albus Dumbledore writing meta about Tom Riddle: lol yeah idk his vibes were just always rancid. no i don't need to "cite my sources" wtf???

Perry the Platypus is the best animated animal of all time and there is no changing my mind
