#I HAVE NO COHERENT THOUGHTS SORRY
Note
writer anon from a couple months ago here… fuck man. it’s the day the music died.
(idk what this is and it’s not very good)
but when you go to meet god, you know, you wanna look nice
hermie’s had those dreams before, the kind where he can feel that his eyes are closed and he tries to open them while he’s asleep but he can’t. this is like that- except there’s no body attached to it. he feels out for… nothing. not even an ache over his heart, where the blood was just staining a moment ago. a year ago? he feels heavy. he’s not sure where he feels it. there’s no body anymore. there’s no him.
“well hello there, darling.” his father. he looks up. there’s no one here. scam’s voice is all around. “did you have fun?”
did you have fun? two years of high school theatre, that’s what it added up to, more or less, and then a few insane months with the teens. was it fun? he can’t remember now.
in this space, he sees it. it really was only two years. there was nothing before that. his memories of growing up are so two-dimensional, it feels like he could print them right out of his head and fold them up into a little paper person and be looking at his twin.
“it was just a joke, you know, all in good fun. oh, they’re wrapping it up now, story’s almost over. ‘that’s all, folks!’ and all that, you know. shame, we’ve only got so much time left.” scam didn’t sound sad. “I kept thinking your father would come after me at some point. it was good fun, messing with the king-of-hell demon-cop. pretty shitty guy, I gotta say.”
a scene materializes in front of hermie. a wooden stage, classic red curtains to frame it, and a styrofoam grave marker in the center. two actors bearing a comically-grotesque resemblance to his adoptive parents were badly stage-crying over it.
at the top, à-la-phantom of the opera, jodie peered down at the actors. he watched for a moment, then turned away to fix his attention on someone else.
did you have fun?
“I was wondering though. were you lying?”
hermie paused. “what?” his voice sounded strange.
“your last words to normal. he wasn’t conscious to hear them, you know. but were they genuine?” he could hear the rubber stretch of scam’s smile splitting far wider than a mouth should go. “did you mean it?”
“I can’t die,” hermie said slowly. “can I.”
“well, you weren’t exactly alive, so it’s hard for you to be dead.” scam sounded more distant now. “no place in heaven or hell for a puppet, just ask jigsaw.”
hermie’s jaw clenched. “I wasn’t a puppet. I wasn’t… anything.”
“right, so you get the point. I’m asking what you were teeing up for with that last line, hermie. obviously you won’t be around to deliver the payoff. were you just planning on ditching them without a punchline?”
“it’s what you did.”
“the ditch was the punchline, worthless, that’s the crux of the whole thing.” scam’s voice had taken on an edge. “I died once too. got shot off a dragon, actually. it was a lot like this.”
“was it?”
a pause. “I don’t remember.”
the curtains closed. somewhere, the sound of a gigantic clock started up, or maybe a metronome. “well, this has been fun, if ultimately unsatisfying, but I’m afraid this is where I must leave you. show’s over.”
“are you sure?”
“you’re the one who stopped dancing. oh.” scam was smiling again; he could hear it. “oh. I see it now, the prestige. you were the set-up for something truly… oh. wow. now this is a show.”
normal. hermie tried to take a deep breath. “what’s he doing?”
“making your whole life part of his own villain origin story. so sorry you aren’t around to see this, I know how you always liked the villains, but, well.”
“you can’t bring me back?” hermie clenched his fists. “you can’t do one thing for me, after…?”
scam scoffed. “oh, now he wants to live.”
crack! hermie was a five-year-old watching the big kids win the speedrun. crack! hermie was a cat in a garbage can being jumped by the pussywagon. crack! hermie was sitting in a car in hell, and normal was kissing his cheek. crack! hermie was a voice on the phone, hermie was saying “this is john.” crack! hermie was the dying papa john, hot cheese coursing through his veins. crack! hermie was dying, hermie was lying on the ground with blood spilling from his…
“your father and I were similar in one regard, actually. when our lives were threatened, when there was only one way to be free, we took it. we split, you could say, we…” scam hesitated. hermie thought about a demon and a highway patrol officer, a mustache and a fedora. “sometimes you get a card. sometimes you get a court order. but you always get a choice. you don’t get to be yourself. that’s what the world taught both of us. no matter your power, your influence, if the world doesn’t want you to be yourself, and you still want to live, well…”
he saw the joker, keira knightley, risky click, a whole parade of shifting faces flickering between his reflection and his performances. he heard his words to normal in goof’s realm- you don’t like me, you idiot.
“do you want to live? you never get to go back, you know, not to what you were. even if you’re able to reconcile the memories, once you’ve been something you never fully stop being it. and that saves you a little, the first you, but it’ll damn you just as surely.
“unless.” one giant eye in front of hermie. “was there anyone, hermie? anyone who wanted you to be yourself?”
what did he honestly believe, about what normal wanted?
he didn’t know if his last words were a lie. he didn’t know if his next ones would be either.
do you want to live?
IM SO SORRY FOR LEAVING U HANGING FOR A WHILE WRITER ANON IVE BEEN AT WORK BUT IM BACK. I WOULD SAY WE ARE SO BACK BUT NO ITS SO OAKWOVER. HERMAN UNWOVER.

charlie kelly is really the dude ever made. I've never seen another character in any media exude the same weirdness he does. It's not a bad weirdness it's just charlies type of weirdness. he thinks he has seen ghouls.he has bitten santa claus in the neck. he tortured a random guy because he thought it was a leprechaun. he's a musical savant. he looks like a butch lesbian whenever he has a tank top on. he really likes cats. he's somehow a genius at managing the worst bar in philadelphia. he likes magnets. he's the prettiest mf ever. he has been wearing the same green jacket for 18 years straight. he didn't even know pineapples were a thing. he eats stickers all the time. there's a good chance he's covered in grime.he was immediately ready to kill himself when mac's dad was released from prison before considering any other option. he faked his own death with a shitty video where he and his boy best friend do a thelma and louise reference. denim chicken. he has hallucinations. he can't write in english but can both write and speak irish. he is everything to me.
#its like 1.30 am where i live i have to get up early tomorrow. i also puked two times at ab amusement park.#the only coherent thought i have rn is Charlie kelly.#also I'm pretty sure ive seen this type of post be made with at least another member of the gang so im reallt sorry to the ops 🙏#im not trying to copy you i just felt the need to list the top charlie kelly moments#he is the dude of all time#charlie kelly#iasip#its always sunny in philadelphia#it's always sunny in philadelphia#charmac#mac mcdonald#mac iasip#always sunny#rants

whenever conservative-aligned comics get passed around there’s always a couple of people who add on that comics are inherently liberal and the values shown in *insert comic here* aren’t representative of the industry but like...that’s not true lol. like yes for a majority of their history cape comics have advocated for lefitst policies but that’s not to say that they weren’t also widely populated by prejudices and bigoted ideas. the creators of superman were jewish and they still wrote/drew plently of racist caricatures about the japanese when they were working on the action comics title. let’s not even pretend that misognyny isn’t a prevalent and continuous problem. comics were by and large created by marginalized groups and the silver/dark ages did succeed in tackling a lot of societal problems, but saying that the industry has always been this bastion of moral goodness is not only inaccurate to its history but also discourages conversation about how politics are presented in today’s comics.
#sorry. still thinking about gl comics. its a disease.#also relevant is secret six + birds of prey b/c of how lauded they are for representation but the actual content is just soooo fucking bad#you guys can have coherant conversations about this i belive im optimistic#dc#.thoughts

The fact that Main-verse Ooo is as good and as kind as it is (relative to the other universes shown so far, at least, it's obviously not perfect) all because of the same character that starts off as the OG series' antagonist, the person we were made to see as the bad guy (albeit an often ineffectual one) for several seasons, is making me lose my mind.
Imagine finding out the guy you spent your childhood beating up and saving princesses from is in fact a driving catalyst behind you being able to exist, and not only exist but also live in a world that knows what kindness is. All because that man, the same man who you've witnessed do terrible things, once met a little girl and taught her how to be good.
Simon's story really shows us that even if you lose your way and forget how it is to be good yourself, the world keeps the memory for you. That act of love Simon showed Marcy by protecting her and seeing her as more than the monster she thought herself to be created ripples upon ripples, small at first but eventually enough to help give their wreckage of a world—a world that easily could have been forsaken, its goodness overlooked because of its inhospitable remains—a chance to grow into something beautiful. Because of those very same ripples Simon created, the people of Ooo grew up in a world where they know enough about kindness that they were able and willing to spare the 'bad guy' some, to see beyond the wreckage and allow him to grow too.
In saving Marceline, Simon helped to not only to save the world, but also himself.

Eddie drawing two dnd characters kissing that look suspiciously like him and Steve. Dustin points at it and says, "That's Steve. Do you like Steve?" And Eddie snatches the page away with a loud gasp, pretending to be offended.
"I do not like Steve. That is clearly a drawing of Stefan the knight and Edwardo the bard from our last campaign. Do you not pay attention?" He's a horrible liar. His ears are bright red, he's avoiding eye contact and Dustin literally saw the words 'Eddie + Steve' at the bottom of the page.
"You are so embarrassing. This is school girl behaviour. Be a man and just kiss him." Eddie throws a small mini figurine of a dragon at Dustin as he leaves the dnd club room.

Could you elaborate more on akutagawa bringing out atsushi's cruel side and atsushi bringing out akutagawa's kinder side? Despite everything i do think there were moments where atsushi held akutagawa's strength in high regard and felt inferior to him but denies this by constantly mocking akutagawa and reminding him that he lost in their first fight. Ngl i really love how atsushi can be himself around akutagwa, he doesn't need to be the atsushi that everyone loves, he can be the atsushi that only he can love 😭
Okay I've talked about this plenty so you might want to check out these posts (1) (2) (3) (4); on Akutagawa's good nature (1) (2); on Atsushi's mean nature (1) (2) (3)
My final take is: it's true, Atsushi brings out Akutagawa's kind side and Akutagawa brings out Atsushi's cruel side. But it shouldn't be left at that, risking of running into the error of reducing their relationship to an oversimplifying formula. It's true, Atsushi is mean around Akutagawa and Akutagawa is kind around Atsushi; but what we should really focus on is the fact that they manage to bring out a side of each other that other characters don't. Which is a good thing! It means that they can be their true selves, letting go of the fear of judgement and abandonment, because they know they're okay with each other. And I'm positive that yes, although it initially manifested with Atsushi being straight up a jerk to Akutagawa, it's not going to stop at that; because if it's true that Akutagawa brings to light facets of Atsushi's nature that don't usually emerge, it's also true that Atsushi's true nature isn't all evil and nothing else. First off, Atsushi is also manifestly more confident around Akutagawa, he's more brave and cool. He's sassy and sharp, he's blunt and stops overthinking things. Who knows if, once he's grown more affectionate of Akutagawa, once he's changed his mind about him, that will also translate in him being more open about how much he admires Akutagawa? Personally, I like to believe it will (Atsushi's love language being words of affirmation which is exactly what Akutagawa needs, eheh). After all, the “If you asked me, I'd say Dazai-san has already recognized you long ago” (which I've said, probably made Akutagawa fall right then and there) likely didn't come from a place of high esteem as much as it was just Atsushi honestly expressing his thoughts, unfiltered in front of Akutagawa. Then, just think of what he could tell him once his feelings for Akutagawa have morphed from simple animosity to something positive!
To me sskk really is:
It's unpealing each layer till they're completely naked in front of each other, but God knows if having someone they can be utterly vulnerable with isn't exactly what they need. And yes, that started off as Atsushi being extremely rude to Akutagawa, but I'm sure it's not going to stop at that. It's going to develop in Atsushi being comforted by Akutagawa saying “do we need any more?” because having each other is truly all they need, and it's going to develop in Atsushi softly smiling at Akutagawa because no one else could make him feel safe and serene as he does.
#I feel like Atsushi's being mean is especially impactful because it's strikingly different from how he usually behaves#but it's not like he ever did Akutagawa something worse than everything Akutagawa has done to him you know...#atsushi nakajima#ryūnosuke akutagawa#sskk#shin soukoku#bsd#bungou stray dogs#bsd analysis#my analysis#mine#people asks me stuff#I'm sorry if this isn't my best answer#The answer I had come up under the shower a few days ago was a lot better but unfortunately I don't remember anything about it#It's just. I have a lot of thoughts about sskk and they're not always coherent

Ever since I read two fics about Bruce's kids being in the tower when it's falling, it's made that scene a million times tastier. Like, in one fic, the kids all lived and helped other people, and Bruce was a terminator trying to get to them and make them leave but they kept helping others to his great pride and anxiety. In one they all died and it fucked me up, particularly when Bruce told Clark after the events if BvS, and holy shit, I was crying like a little baby like that shit just hits different.
Just, grieving dad Bruce, who doesn't have superman and Tim to stop him from killing, trying to avenge all five of his kids like 👀👀👀 it was so good!
Yeah!! Not to get too weird about BVS (again) I think there are some serious parallels between 9/11 and the attack on Metropolis that critics really intentionally overlook -- not just that the destruction is similar, but that Bruce's anger/fear/etc closely parallels the US reaction in the immediate aftermath.
He lost a whole skyscraper of his employees -- people who were supposed to be safe in Metropolis, safer than they would probably be in Gotham. And yes, in certain fics, he loses not just his loyal employees, but his kids, too.
I will be the first one to mock BVS (for a variety of reasons) but the whole "oooh Batman started killing and acting OOC out of nowhere" thing always seemed kind of silly to me.
There's a reason his first adult on-screen introduction in that movie is literally him running into a dust cloud in shirtsleeves and loafers -- it's not about Batman. It's Bruce Wayne lifting beams and dragging children out of harm's way.
The Black Zero Event/Battle of Metropolis likely resulted in the death of thousands of people -- several times the destruction of 9/11, though I'm not sure if anyone ever gave an exact number.
It's strange that an event that is clearly presented to evoke that parallel is taken as a mediocre or misguided motivation for any character, much less Bruce -- who is in a unique position as a vigilante to actually do something, however small, about it.
#sorry late night ramble#something something 9/11 and bvs#I have longer more coherent thoughts but they are not coming#I just have a lot of feelings whenever I see that first scene#it really sold me on batfleck in the theater instantly#bvs#9/11 tw#bruce wayne#batman#dc#batfamily#also I kinda just realized I think I wrote one of the above referenced fics#possibly#myfic#asks#anon

Thinking about the au where Brit and Mallick become apprentices again and moreso thinking about Dr. Gordon watching all of it unfold.
He sees himself in Brit, professional hotshots, too busy with work to care about other people’s thoughts or feelings. Through their time in their traps they are pushed to realize that there is no weakness in emotion and that relationships built with others can push people to do what they need to, even in life or death situations. They made a connection within the game and that connection changed their entire life.
In Mallick he sees Adam, both men who seemed to be surrounded by people who said they cared, but never actually did. They wanted to escape from life and didn’t realize just how much they truly wanted to live until they were actually faced with death.
And sometimes when he looks at the two of them, Mallick saying something dumb and Brit rolling her eyes but not quite being able to hide the corner of her mouth twitching up, he can see it being him and Adam instead. In his mind, they’re living out the exact same “what if” scenario that Lawrence has been playing out in his mind for years — a scenario that could have been real if only he had kept his promise to Adam
#to everyone I’m so sorry about posting so much saw today idk what‘a in the air tonight I just have so many thoughts#anyways I thought about this at work today and almost combusted. might become a fic might not but I needed to share because I’m losing it#hopefully this is coherent. do you guys see what I’m putting down? do you see the vision??#Lawrence Gordon#brit stevenson#mallick scott#adam faulkner stanheight#chainshipping#pintshipping#saw#saw series#saw franchise#sawposting#white weasel talks

I have to let my thoughts wonder... who had the idea to use "traveler ate our archons cake" to send them to the fortress. i fully believe it was Neuvillette but I have to wonder what Wriothesley thought about it.
Did Neuvillette warn him beforehand of the plan or did Wriothesley ended up finding that out by himself (i believe this is what happened)? Did he laugh when he read the "unforgivable crime" that the traveler committed?
Will he ever tease Neuvillette for that? I would love if he did that <3 hehehehe
#i mean you saw him with his bestie clorinde right?#making bets on neuvillette and being a little tease ughhhhh ♡#sorry everyone im sick and miserable and wriothesley is the only thing bringing me happiness rn so im being annoying sorry#genshin impact#wriothesley#genshin impact spoilers#fontaine spoilers#wriolette#wriothesley and neuvillette are my beloved men rn and i need to think fever induced thoughts#as in actual i actually have a fever and my thoughts are not the most coherent rn

Every day I wish we got more of Louis and Daniel interacting in QOTD like. Last time they saw each other Louis used Daniel as a juice box and was like "you might die idk" and now Daniel's a vampire at the hands of Louis' ex. BUT we did get Armand holding both of them when they pass out and that's probably the best thing to ever happen tbh
NO BUT FORREAL I THINK ABOUT THIS SO MUCH
And this is exactly why post-qotd is one of my favorite eras in canon because it's like— the second Daniel walks into that room by Armand's side, he's immediately clocked, like everyone just gets to watch him go absolutely batshit with all the New Vampire Zoomies, he's just fucking reeling, the world is coming down around them so no one has time to address any of the insane baggage but like... at the same time, Louis and Daniel had to sit there for hours listening to Maharet's story alsjhcfandslj like I NEED to know how many times they made eye contact across the table, how many times Louis got distracted trying to think of what the fuck to even say to either of them, how many times Daniel thought about Louis' fangs in his neck while sitting at that table.
It's just the right combination of like absolutely insane and soul-wrenchingly emotional asdlsjkhdbcnjhbcs because also like!!! there's so many reunions!! it's the first time louis and armand have seen each other in years!!! they left on such sad, bitter terms but clearly still had feelings for one another!! this is the first time marius has spoken to armand in fucking centuries!!
like, they all have so much history and so much to say to each other and I think it's so fucking hysterical that all of these emotional reunions have happening while Daniel essentially just has to stand there behind armand like a little mouth-breathing toddler waiting on his mom LMAO
anyway yeah 10/10 agree we deserved more louis and daniel content in qotd!!!
#their dynamic makes me insane actually like they are so wild#sorry it took me a hot second to get to this LOL i still don't have coherent thoughts i just love them so much#;answered#louis/daniel#louis de pointe du lac#daniel molloy

so i'm just thinking abt the reputation pete must have post-canon among main family bodyguards.
like as we know from pete himself, word travels fast amongst main family bodyguards and there must be a few who survived the ep 14, confrontation. obviously people would've known pete at least in passing, he's tankhun's head bodyguard that must mean something. and suddenly he's missing for a few days, rumour has it he went to the minor family's house (with the fit tankhun threw (rightfully so) surely people would've heard abt it right? right) and everyone knows what happens to bodyguards who are sent to the minor family's house. except pete returns and word spreads fast about that too. pete returned, covered in blood and injured but alive. then the family showdown happens, a lot of people die but surely a few main family bodyguards would survive. and they would hear abt it. pete left. he resigned. and they let him. which i'm sure not many bodyguards can say for themselves. rumour has it he went after vegas. and then shot a bodyguard of the main family dead for him. and that he's with vegas now.
vegas who has A Reputation, everyone knows that. so pete not only made it out of the minor family's house alive, he also managed to resign and then went to be with vegas.
and maybe they'd even see him sometime, pete coming to visit porsche or tankhun and he looks fine like he's doing well.
and like. they must be terrified of him. and like even when they get new bodyguards word would spread just as quickly. u don't fuck with pete bc pete has seen the worst of the worst of this world and not only come out alive the other end, he also willingly walked back right into it.
#thinking abt pete maybe this even qualifies as dark!pete#like i'm sorry i feel like i'm really bad at articulating my thoughts in a good and coherent way#but brain goes brrr#pete must have a killer reputation#like if they main family bodyguards aren't terrified of him then idk either#like mans survived the minor family literally resigned and they let him. and now he's just chilling with Vegas Theerapanyakul#u know the murderous evil cousin#like FUCK#people would be scared i know it#especially abt the part where pete quit To Be With Vegas#bc from an outsider pov it'd take a special kind of insane to want to be with vegas right#they're terrified of him i know it. some are even more scared of him than of vegas#and like him being super nice and polite and smiley makes people not believe it at first#they're like really this guy???? no way#but like there's moments in between where u can see how smart and calculating he is#and people would insist like no really this guy did all of that don't underestimate him#and people would be scared they would i know it#vegaspete#kinnporsche#kp analysis#bl shows#dreamy talks#pete

okay okay okay but I headcanon (firmly believe actually but whatever) that cass considers herself to be dick/jason/tim/damian's brother.
because. okay. gender and language are extremely interconnected. and without gendered language, it's difficult to explain gender and why you would use one term over another. and cass doesn't really have a language with which to understand gender. and when you're learning words, especially if you're starting from scratch, it's way more important to understand that different words mean different things. "brother" and "sister" are different words. even "brother" and "sibling" are different words. and you and I, who have been using language for a while, can argue all day about the denotations and connotations of the words, but to cass, who didn't have language for a good chunk of her early life, those semantics don't matter.
dick is her brother. jason is her brother. tim is her brother. damian is her brother. just like they are all each other's brothers. and calling herself their "sister" instead communicates a different meaning. it sets cass apart from them. she doesn't really know or care about the complicated history of gendered language. the word "brother" and the word "sister" are not the same thing. the other legal(ish) children of bruce's are all brothers. she would consider herself one, too.
#cass cain#batfamily#batfam headcanons#black bat#orphan#batgirl#linguistics???#combining my love of language theory and comics!#no but cass's whole deal is so fascinating to me#and I have some thoughts about it#this is just the most coherent one#and maybe I'm a crazy person in which case please help me out#this seems like an oddly specific post to make#but I'm having fun#anyway#text post#I'm really sorry if this makes no sense but I appreciate you bearing with me
