My friends think I like to fight
But it's just not true
Sometimes I lose my temper and blow off a little steam
But I've never enjoyed it
I'm not a violent dog.
I don't know why I bite.

Bad Dog
If I whine like a dog
I'll get punished like one.
rub my nose in the bedsheets
where my feelings stain and bleed.
nails scratch at your head,
desperate to dig up buried feelings.
maybe now you can see them you won't hide.
it'll keep me fed and you won't
put me outside in the dark,
chained up away in the rain
like a bad dog.
pleading too much, for so much
throat and hearts in a strain
Kaci O'Meara ☆

Something something Jimmy's curse grows stronger each season something something it targets those closest to him as well and usually brings them down with him after he's out something something I wanna see what happens when he doesn't make an alliance for a whole season cause the canary doesn't have to sing if there's no one around to warn

*Spoilers for all jrwi episodes up to 114*
This is lowkey a character study idk,
So I've been seeing a lot of that one audio from Isle of Dogs and I can't stop thinking about how that audio could apply to the albatrio when looking at it in different ways. So I want to break down the quote by how I think it would fit each of them because I'm so normal about these characters. Also idk if it was too long for tumblr or something so this got split up into separate parts. Second part to this like post thing?
For Chip it's interesting because I feel like he feels like he knows why he bites, but doesn't fully understand it yet. He knows he's had to bite to protect himself after the events of the hole in the sea, but he doesn't realize the magnitude of it all fully yet.
"My friends" -Jay and Gill, but also his crew past and present.
"think I like to fight" - Chip has spent his entire life being a street rat that fight's to survive, but he's also notably a bastard. He hides his own horrible experience's behind a well practiced façade of little shit-ness and a carefree attitude. So when he gets himself into trouble and spends it joking around and dropping witty remarks it seems almost like he sees it as a game or nothing serious leading to the others not taking him seriously at first and thinking he gets enjoyment out of fighting.
",but it's just not true. Sometimes I lose my temper and blow off a little steam" - Same as with Gillion this is greatly displayed in the ice arena incident of episode 15. Though instead of his temper coming from a misunderstanding of emotional regulation like Gillion's case, it's a frustration of other's misunderstanding him. Chip withstands everyone's name calling until Gillion throws what Chip saw as a personal sacrifice in his face. When Gillion starts talking about how he feels used by Chip, Chip can't help but feel overlooked as he felt a friendship blossoming with Gillion that he realizes in the moment that friendship isn't seen as reciprocated yet. Chip feels like he's opened himself back up to another crew, new people after being alone for about a decade after the loss of the black rose pirates (Yes I know he was with Price, but I feel like he didn't feel real in those years, I don't think he saw his time with Price as himself in his own retrospect). I feel like his true anger and temper comes from frustration of underestimation and underappreciation. However this is a consequence of taking nothing seriously on the surface which then feeds into his own cycle of personal violence.
"but I never enjoyed it. I'm not a violent dog. I don't know why I bite." - The first half of the quote referring to the lack of enjoyment from violence reminds me a lot of his introspection of his time with Price. Even if he got part of the memories of Price removed, he still remembers most of it, just not the forced killing aspect. I think he remembers a time where everyone around him found enjoyment in violence where he never did. If Gillion is a well trained guard dog Chip is the flea bitten dog on the street. They're scrawny and people keep far from them because they're afraid of being attacked, because those dogs aren't seen as dogs they're seen as threats. Those dogs had to become violent for their own survival, and that's something we've seen displayed with Chip. Especially when he was younger in Price's gang. Though Chip is aware of his upbringing as bad, I don't think he's fully aware what a mark that left on him.

I'm 5 feet tall with a delicate build, and I work out regularly. No amount of body-building changes the fact that the average man could easily wrap his entire fucking hand around my neck and EASILY choke me to death, or break my wrists or my fucking spine. That terrifies me. It terrifies me than in a real one on one fight to the death, I'd probably be the one dying. I'm thinking of that video where a woman stabbed a guy with a big knife like 15 times, and he still kept fighting, whaling on her. What the fuck are those tiny "self defense" blades supposed to accomplish ? My best bet would probably be to slice his jugular or push my thumbs into his eye sockets, but how the fuck am I supposed to do that if he's restraining my arms. It TERRIFIES me that I can't fight, and even if I could, I'd probably not stand a chance against the average man, and definitely not if there were more than one.
Do any of you know self defense tips that ACTUALLY work? No convoluted moves. If a brute has got me in a fucking chokehold, I won't be thinking about the steps of popular self defense moves. I'll be panicking, losing strength and consciousness. The way i see it, my best bet would be carrying a fucking dagger, but even that requires intense training to learn how to use efficiently.

Simon Riley is cold-hearted, mean, and - blah blah blah.
He loves like a dog. Soul crushing, and religion-bent loving.
You are his religion. his god. If he could kneel, worship, and repent - he would. For you he would bathe in fire to clean the blood spill from his hands.
The mere idea of touching you with hands that have taken lives feels like a sin.
His love is overwhelming, passionate, and fueled by the hope that just one person will save him. He begs to be saved, yet the act of accepting the savior is a second-hand battle.
Every hand that has ever fed him, has also plunged itself so deep into his soul he can barely breathe.
So, when a person comes along, who stares at him in adoration... who stares at him like he isn't a monster. it feels like an answered prayer.
But, blind adoration - loyalty without census - bleeding for whoever may hold you, can kill you.
Loving savagely. Unconditionally. Blindly.
He bares his teeth, and in return, you show him that mankind has forced him to bark, and bite, and scratch. You show him that after nights of pleading to you that he doesn't deserve love like this - that gentle love can heal suspicious hearts.

❣︎ | Rage |
The bird is capable of the same whip-crack rage as his brother if someone pushes him on a few very specific triggers - primarily those related to body boundaries and chasing people to harm / threaten them, especially children. He just tends to have a really rigid sense of guilt and self-control, where his brother has none.
My portrayal of C.ora has absolutely hurt someone significantly and disproportionately for touching him when he did not want to be touched.
Being chased / pursued / caught is something he has had nightmares about since he was small for obvious reasons, and continues to have indefinitely with variable frequency.
Comforting him after these isn't always possible for someone else to do. Time alone and strong sensory pressure help - something controlled to feel something on purpose, cold exposure like an ice bath or time out in the snow without winter gear come to mind.
L.aw running through the hospital while the doctors scream about catching him spooks him every time
There has been an instance where L.aw has had to scream at him and hit him across the back / shoulders with something to get him to stop hurting someone - probably a doctor or another encounter with someone that treated Law particularly poorly.
He usually talks less after things like this, and getting him to talk directly about anything like this afterwards is like pulling teeth.
