Consistently shocked by the idea that people think Bradley Rooster Bradshaw is chill and laid back. He’s actually shockingly unchill. He is the opposite of chill. He did not inherent any of his parents chillness. He’s a loser who’s too invested in everything.
Like ya hi I’m Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw and I cut off my remaining family, surrogate father, and support system for 15 years cuz he pulled my naval academy papers because he didn’t want me to die like my biological father and because my mother wanted me to be free of the navy’s confinements and to exist outside of a system that physically uses me for their own power and political gains— gains I will never experience and feel for myself. A system that sees me as no more than a number, a soldier, something easily replaceable, as a body to be sacrificed in a war that i did not start nor will i finish.
“Bradley's chill.” No he’s not. He’s a beast. He’s a 30 something year old man whose entire purpose revolves around holding a grudge and proving his surrogate father wrong. This beast who literally said this to his surrogate father— "No wife. No kids. Nobody to mourn when you burn in." Beastly. Ghastly thing to say. 15 years and he still hates the guy who's been there for him since day one. He’s a guy who refuses to even begin to understand where Mav was coming from or to even think of what his mother wanted. He’s evil. And I love him.
Hi I’m Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw and when someone brings up a well known, easily accessible fact that my father and surrogate father used to fly together I will try to cause physical harm against them and my friends will have to physically hold me back. I’m Bradley Bradshaw and I was willing to put my entire career on the line (the one in which I put my family aside for) so I can attack and beat this guy up.
I love his big ol’ Bambi eyes… he’s evil and fucked up and he’s not chill. Yes he wears jorts and tropical shirts, but that just means he’s gay and a fucking liar. Just cuz he looks like some surfer dude does not mean that he’s actually laid back like one. He’s lying to himself— trying to convince himself he is something that he is not and never will be. He is unchill. He’s lame. He has undiagnosed anxiety and it physically expresses itself through anger and loserly-ness. He cares so much to the point of self sabotage. He will always be unchill, no matter how much he tries to change that fact.
Y’all ever want to cradle a grown man in your arms? (graphic design is my passion)
Do you ever think about how there totally could have been an old classmate of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth in the audience during like turnabout sister or turnabout samurai. Do you think they would realize? Like “hey, were those the guys in my class in like fourth grade? I kinda remember them. Wonder if they remember each other. But it was so long ago, I doubt they would even care.” Meanwhile Edgeworth and Phoenix are undergoing the most insane mental battles where both of them are going “I recognize my best friend across the courtroom and I desperately want to be close with them again.” And “god he is so god damn annoying I wish he would die already.”
it's very funny to me that the multiverse's chosen guy to motivate it's frickin gods was sans, literally the most unmotivated character in the entire game of undertale
and not only that he is SOULLESS so he's DOUBLE unmotivated and I genuinely find that hilarious like yeah
he knows what to say and what advice to give to get people's spirits up, is he gonna apply them to himself? nope, the guy's like a wet mop on the floor that can barely move his ass to do anything and everyone still relays on him somehow
once again I am thinking about how CQL went out of its way to delete JGY and QS's preexisting backstory from the novel so JGY didn't sleep with her till their wedding night, presumably to make him More Villainous(TM), yet also went out of its way to establish that this was a revolting experience for him and he hated it, which in many ways is more concerning than the original concept would have been so like. why.
As a plural person, the whole thing with the possibility of Cell being like another consciousness in Cellbit, being unleashed and killing workers, being something to suppress and fight against and such...well it's a thing that bothers me, I guess?
Cellbit is trying to be a good person. A better person. Sure he is angry at the Federation, he wants to take them down and see them burn, he want them to fail, but he didn’t want to fight the last time we saw him. He just wanted to rest and get his family back. And now all these murders are happening making it seem like he did it, or Cell did without Cellbit being conscious of it.
Like for other people they can just say it’s a classic horror trope and leave it at that. Fun thing, mystery ramping up, reveal the true culprit is you but not exactly, maybe eventual battle in the centre of the mind. Not really reinventing the wheel here.
I don't really know if the admins or cc!Cellbit himself is aware how harmful the trope can be to people that experience that sort of thing, living with multiple consciousnesses in one body is already hard enough at times...so I don't really want to lean into the interpretation that it is Cell acting out the killings. But then again, it's just another drop in the bucket if it is.
no cuz when arthur sits down next to merlin and asks him "something's been upsetting you, hasn't it?" his first reaction is literally to blame himself. like he doesn't even ask "what's wrong" he just asks "was it when i threw water over you?" 😭😭😭
