#he's SO bitter and angry about it
Text
Ya'll want to know the funniest shit?
I'm researching the era when Alastor was alive right now to get a better idea of both his character, the life he lived before Hell, and to hash out a backstory for him.
And so, apparently, Alastor lived through the Prohibition (which was basically the United States government illegalizing the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcohol because they thought it was the cause of a lot of domestic violence and child abandonment).
Alastor canonically died in 1933.
Do you know how long the Prohibition lasted?
From 1920-1933.
ALASTOR LITERALLY DIED THE SAME YEAR ALCOHOL BECAME LEGAL AGAIN. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW BITTER HE MUST'VE BEEN?
The Prohibition officially ended on December 5, 1933, and now my headcanon is that Alastor died December 6, 1933. Literally the day after he could legally drink all the booze he wanted.
I am learning a LOT about New Orleans and the era Alastor lived through (including the gay community in the city at the time) which has been a lot of fun, and I just wanted to share that tidbit because it is so fucking funny to me.
#guys i just#its so funny#can you imagine Alastor gets the news#everything is awesome#the next day he's planning to go out drinking and have a good time#but first he needs to get rid of this body#it shouldn't take too long#just a few hours#and THEN this motherfucking hunter decides to ignore hunting laws and mistakes him for a deer#when he wakes up he's in Hell#I can just imagine the realization setting in#he's SO bitter and angry about it#he was about to get shit-faced and have a fun time at a party#and now he's suffering eternal punishment#he couldn't even get a proper drink first#it was just a fun tidit#ALSO#the gay community in New Orleans at the time is so fascinating#they literally entire communities and neighborhoods#and a lot of it was from mixed race people#and we know Alastor is mixed race#AH I have so so many thoughts#hazbin hotel#alastor#hazbin alastor#hazbin hotel alastor#the radio demon#hazbin hotel fanart#alastor hazbin hotel#alastor the radio demon

Can we just talk about the stark contrast between these two clips? The persona is so different
(GIF by @aegonx )
#aegon targaryen#tgc’s acting is amazing#he looked so terrified and sad in season 1#to looking angry and bitter in season 2#maybe even more cocky and confident#wondering if the clips in the trailer are post blood and cheese#can’t stop thinking about it#hotd#house of the dragon#house targaryen#aegon ii targaryen#team green

the many smiles of Vincent Ross
#polizeiruf świecko#vincent ross#episode: cottbus kopflos#i feel like vincent is the type of person who hides so much behind a friendly demeanour#seeing that facade break a little in the last episode was kind of nice#dont get me wrong - i love ray of sunshine vincent#but this feels a bit more real after the things that happened#him being bitter and angry about how people act#but also not being able to stay angry or aloof - he wants to connect to people#and he does like alexandra#chaos on q

You guys know on how InuYasha, the few times he talks about it, badmouths his father and says he doesn't care to avenge his death when he battles Ryukoltsei?
I wonder if InuYasha starts to regret his mindset towards his father once he himself becomes a father. Or at the very least, he starts to understand his father better. Especially if you want to go by the Movie 2 canon where part of Toga's death was from protecting InuYasha and his mom.
Just makes me wonder if InuYasha looks at Moroha or any of his other children and has the thought that it'd break his heart if any of his kids felt resentment towards him like he felt for his own father, especially when everything he ever does is to protect them. And I wonder if it makes InuYasha start to look at his father's memory differently, now that he's a parent himself and would do anything and everything to protect his kids, even if it meant dying and leaving them without a father.
Not that he'd go and try to get himself killed, as he wants to actually be alive so they don't have to grow up like he did, but you know he'd sacrifice himself if it meant his children could live, just like his father did for him (according to movie 2).
I don't know, I just wonder if InuYasha starts to ever regret the way he looked at his father's memory back when he was a teen once he becomes a father to Moroha and starts to understand his father's actions as a parent now that he himself is a parent. Ya know what I mean?
#not that Inuyasha will ever have to worry about missing his daughter's life because nothing bad ever happens to break any of them apart#and the same for any other potential children he and Kagome has#its just a hypothetical#Yashahime? i don't know her#all I know is Teenage InuYasha vs. Papayasha#and how differently the 2 must have thought on the same topics#like their father. and how InuYasha felt so bitter or angry at his dad for leaving him in the name of protecting him#while simultaneously secretly yearning and missing the opportunity to know him#versus Papayasha who looks at Moroha & any other potential kids with the overwhelming understanding that they are his whole world#and he'd do anything to protect them. including laying down his life if it came down to it#& how he realizes that his father felt the same way for him & in that way Inu starts to understand his father in ways he didn't before#but he also understands how hard it is to survive without a parent esp. as a hanyou & refuses to let himself get killed battle-#-leaving Moroha and his other kids at the mercy of struggling in the world without his protection#so he resolves himself that. while he is willing to die for his kids. he must work even harder to STAY ALIVE for them above all else#so that they never have to grow up without him and wonder if he even cared or why he wasn't with them#the way he did with his own father#inuyasha#inukag#moroha#moroha higurashi#inukag child#inukag baby#inukag family#inu no taisho#inuyasha family#inuyasha movie 2#inuyasha headcanons#inuyasha theory#post canon

Thinking about how fucked up it is that in htb au, Mark is alive but Sarah thinks he's dead. That he's been dead for 17 years. Her grandparents don't talk about him. There are no photos. The bedroom she vaguely remembers him having is just a spare room filled with junk. She remembers how he left one day after she went crying to her grandparents, telling them he'd shoved her, that he'd hurt her and by the time she came back from the hospital with stitches Mark was gone.
And she blamed herself for that even though it wasn't her fault.
She waited for him to come back home for months, sitting by the window when it was too cold to be outside, waiting on the porch whenever she could. Hoping he was going to turn that corner at any second and he'd be home again. And she could tell him how sorry she was for making him go away. How she wasn't angry at him for having pushed her that day. That she loves him, she loves him, she loves him.
But that day never comes. And those words are never exchanged. And when she asks her grandparents if Mark was dead they don't tell her he's alive. And she has to live with that guilt - telling herself that if she hadn't been such a baby, if she hadn't annoyed her brother that day, then he'd still be here. All she has left of him is a stuffed toy she doesn't remember him giving her and the scar left behind from that argument.
She lives with that for 17 years - the idea that she drove her brother away and got him killed. 17 years.
Anyway, yeah, I'm so normal about this AU you guys, I swear-
#hail true body au#tmc#tmc au#htb sarah#htb mark#meanwhile mark is still alive somewhere with a found family and she got left behind#he left her behind#and she can't help but feel that it's because he hates her#that he's never let go of that argument that happened 17 years ago#that she was and still is a bad sister#that she was never worth coming home for#that she grew up in his shadow all that time - trying to make up for killing him by living the life he should've had the chance to#and all that time he was alive. all that time she mourned a brother who never came back for her#and it's hard not to be bitter and so easy to be goddamn angry about that#she is so so angry#i am so normal about the heathcliff siblings in this au- gdjdbksdgjs#sorry for the rambling#anyway. fuck the reeds. shittest grandparents ever.

A nasty, bitter sentiment that I know in my heart was common among the umanyar who knew Finwe, especially among the sindar:
Of course the man who forgot (abandoned) Elwe for the sparkling new allure of Aman would also forget (abandon) miriel for someone fresh and new like Indis. Would forget the dead and stolen of Cuivienen in favor of the political path of least resistance and invite Melkor into his city.
#Tolkien#San shoots the breeze#On one hand it's not really *fun* to hate on finwe because I know so many people like him!#And i'm not without sympathy for him#It's just that he left such a trail of damage behind him out of passivity and personal convenience#In ways that the narrative doesn't address#And I find it more compelling to think about all the nameless people who would watch/remember him from the sidelines#Just dark angry eyes and bitter tongues held between their teeth#Because speaking won't benefit anyone#Won't improve the situation#But if finwe were ever to be reimbodied he better *watch out*#Because that brew of rage and hurt and disappointment has been bottled up and ages like wine for millennia

it’s been long since I made a pro Tony Stark post but seeing someone try to blame the events of Civil War going south on him had me heated. look, I will admit that some of Tony’s actions in the movie where not okay at all like wanting to kill Bucky for killing his mother while under HYDRA’s influence but maybe Steve stans and a lot of pro team cap folks should realize that Steve’s actions also played a huge role in the movie as well.
for one, maybe Steve should have realized that 119 countries banding together to make a document, you feel is threatening your rights, is a serious matter. 119 countries is almost two-thirds of the countries in the UN and the world, if a great part of the world thinks you are doing more harm than good, maybe as a superhero, you should try to reason with them.
two, Steve chose to do nothing when he thought his rights were threatened by the accords. I do think there were some human rights violations in the accords that should not have been avoided, however, Steve chose to do nothing. anyone who has done a bit of activism know how ineffective that strategy is.
three, Steve’s actions were proving to the UN even more reasons why they felt the accords were necessary. interfering with law enforcement when they were out for Bucky who was potentially dangerous was a bad idea. sure, Bucky was his best friend and I don’t blame Steve for wanting to save him. however, let us remember that Bucky had killed people while he was the Winter Soldier and the Romanian government didn’t have the perspective we have and they had every reason to see him as a huge threat.
four, infantilizing Wanda by calling her a kid because Tony decided to put her on house arrest. and yes, I agree that Tony not telling Wanda was a very bad idea but let us not forget that the Avengers were still under public scrutiny after a disaster of a mission in Lagos and the accords. Wanda could have been attacked by outsiders who could have gone the Zemo route because a family member was in Lagos and that would have caused her to try to defend herself which could get twisted by the media and turn more of the public against her and the avengers as a whole. mind you, the Avengers were facing enough mistrust from the public.
also, Steve, calling a huge comfortable compound with a swimming pool an internment is a bit tonedeaf to those whose ancestors have been to actual interments. as someone who had an Asian American on his team, I’d expect he know better.
five, accords or not, maybe the Russian government has the right to know about a man controlling dangerously brainwashed men within their country. sure, it latter turned out to be a false alarm but considering the fact that this was a security threat which many countries would take seriously, Steve for some reason never considered the fact that the Russian government should be alerted to something like that. if this didn’t scream arrogance, I don’t know what else did.
six, resisting arrest and trashing public property while on international borders in the bid of resisting arrest would piss off the very people who are already pissed at you and your American passport would not bail you out of that one. even international passports come with a warning about their holders committing a crime in other countries. the fact that Steve acknowledged that his team could get arrested for that made it even worse.
this one is actually addressed to the whole of team cap, not just Steve, but seven, you cannot commit a crime on international soil with full knowledge that it is a crime and then blame somebody else for why you ended up in jail. sure, the rift and Thaddeus Ross are sketchy in nature but Scott and Clint blaming Tony for why they ended up there was funny to me because they made the informed decision to commit a crime.
eight, which is a major part being that it was the climax of Civil War, hmmm, maybe keeping the secret of the death of the parents of your rich teammate whose money was funding the search of their killer from him is a very bad idea. idk, man, I would be angry too if it were me. sure, wanting to kill Bucky was wrong but if we didn’t fault the Mayonnaise twins, T’Challa, Peter Parker and later Shuri for going after their parents’ (perceived, in T’Challa’s case) killers, maybe we could give Tony too some grace because brainwashed or not, I would have gone after Bucky too.
nine, the apology letter was the shittiest letter ever and I don’t blame Tony for not wanting to speak to Steve during the events of Infinity War. like how can you even write that type of letter to someone you offended and expect the relationship to still be intact?
there was one part I almost forgot but that quote that emboldened Steve is also dumb the more I look at it. oh yeah, plant yourself in front of the 119 countries you didn’t even bother to address at all and tell them “no, you move” is the ultimate height of hubris. when you are already on thin ice with the public? and Steve thought this was a good idea? yikes 😬
#pro tony stark#tony stark defense squad#steve rogers critical#i’m still bitter about civil war#the more i look at it the more i hate it#and yeah i agree that the accords had their own problems too so i am not fully on board with them#but this post is less about the accords and more about steve’s response#the part that had me angry the most is the “plant yourself like a tree as say you move” quote#like my brother in christ#you didn’t even bother to address these countries in the first place#y’all didn’t even bother to have a word with the public and this is the route you want to take?!#now that im thinking about it#this is arrogance at its height#what was steve thinking when he decided to roll along with this quote?#if civil war was trying to get me to support team cap they failed woefully at that#one part was from having steve acting like this.#the fact that even chris evans was not on steve’s side should say something

Cellbit who hates being alone, who’s dreaded ending up alone, finding out he has a sister, someone who has gone to the ends of the earth trying to find him, promising he’ll never be alone again - but he can’t accept it or let himself get near because all he can feel is anger and resentment at the fact that he lost her, his family, in the first place (all he can feel is fear, this terror, rooted somewhere deep in that 13 year old kid with blood on his hands and flesh between his teeth, who’s had everything taken from him before - why would this be any different)
#listen. idk. smth about being unable to have nice things especially if they’re from a time before such lasting trauma#he longs for his sister he’s repulsed by the idea he burns all but one of the memories he’s overwhelmed and angry#he’s pissed that his life and family was taken from him so early. he can’t let himself reconnect because he’s bitter and not the same#and under all that is the deep seated fear that it’ll all be taken again. yknow? idk man#it’s so complex and specific like yeah wouldn’t it be nice if he could hug bagi back and have something happy#too bad he grew up killing and eating people instead of in a home with his parents and sister and it fucked him up!#idk many thoughts about this. all of them have me sobbing violently#mcyt#qsmp#q!cellbit#cellbit#z speaks

It always rubs me the wrong way when people characterize atsushi as too much of a sweetheart. Like he IS a sweetheart but he's also snarky and sarcastic and most importantly he's very very angry. Do not forget this.
#I think its a product of like. People thinking that being kind and being angry are mutually exclusive#Which they very much are not#Atsushi is an extremely compassionate character who also happens to be angry!! These things do not cancel each other out#Like. He bites and screams and fights when someone hurts him or someone he cares about#He's been hurt so much and he's furious and bitter about it.#He's still a compassionate character. He's so so good. Being angry at people that hurt you is not bad.#He's not someone who just rolls over and takes whats thrown at him. He establishes this very early on#Idk. I just think taking away that part of him that's bitter and angry about the way he was treated#Is a major disservice to his character#Jesus this turned into a tangeant. I love atsushi a lot.#I'm a very angry person myself. I actually like that about myself!! I relate to atsushi a lot just as#Someone whos affected by mental illness in ways that often end up making me someone thats hard to be around#Atsushi is a tiger. He bites. This is important.#Sorry sorry. The atsushi brainrot is strong this morning#ruby speaks#Bsd#Bsd atsushi#Atsushiposting

ngl i really wanna see the Tripitaka vs Macky beef. i wanna see the ugly jealousy. i wanna see how pissed Macky was. I want to see him argue with Tripitaka about their idea of “what’s best for swk” they care about him but one is “i can fix him” and the other is “i can accept him” and both are right but also wrong but also—
#prob will not get a scene in lmk with just Tripitaka and a young Mac talking#it starts off with Tripitaka being all ‘why are you ding this? why steal our journey?’#& Mac replies with something like ‘bc you stole my friend 1st’#or ‘if you can treat him like he’s beneath you then I can do that to your precious journey as well’ bc he’s angsty and codependent like tha#so then you have the two friends of swk arguing about what is best for him.#you have the manifestation of SWK’s past and manifestation of SWK’s present/future (the monkey he could become)#‘he was fine the way he was!’ vs ‘he was on the path of destruction and you know it!’#tbh i wanna see them have such an ugly spat bc Mac is angry & bitter & jealous#that it was bc of this monk that led to swk changing & listening to others NOT macky. not his best friend but a pacifist stranger#a stranger who was lucky enough to be on a journey and encounter swk under the mountain#listen pls i need that#lmk pls#lmk#lmk six eared macaque#lmk tripitaka

your pepstavo is literally the best thing in the entire world ur recent post sent me to heaven….I love ur hcs for their intimacy it’s EXACTLY how i see it too!!!
i think peppino struggles extremely with intimacy to the point where he’ll just end up crying before anything can start, which gus never minds and he’s always there for him to hold him and remind him he’ll always wait for him for when he’s ready…😢😢RAGGHH ilovethememmm…..
Thank yuuuu 😭💖💖💖💖 its prob out of the blue bc 98% of all of my hcs are just rotating in my head but i think about them sooo much. Peppino is a scared but ANGRY man and hes fun to work w bc i see him as both incredibly expressive and also extremely emotionally constipated; wants intimacy, cannot understand WHY it sucks so bad when he gets invited to partake in it. He is frustrated and anxious and he has like 400 million thoughts conflicting w each other and it ends up w him being angry and pissy wo knowing WHY hes angry and pissy.
And Gus is a saint but he is also a VERY stubborn little man and is probably the only person in the world stubborn enough to tolerate this messy, messy man. He doesnt treat peppino as a fixer-up; he treats him as someone he KNOWS has hang ups about Everything. The thing is, Gus has been interested in peppino even when he was in the throes of being in his literal Lowest Point of his life; Gus was ride or die from jump and he knew he would have to have the patience to deal w peppino and his attitude.
And its kind of funny (sweet) to Gus bc now he (and rlly everyone now) gets to see what peppino looks like when hes not BEYOND stressed, and Gus sees that hes in fact soft and kind of a silly man ! He likes any and ALL displays of affection, he likes being pampered and he likes being coddled a lil and he likes existing in Gustavos space :) Hes REALLY coy and equally playful and hes a bit (alot) of a brat; it makes Gus wish he got to see Peppino when he was younger (bc peppino will show him pics from when he was young and he mentions that he used to be a BRAT w these older men lmao) like theres more to this (at first glance) grumpy man, but hes like more than happy to have the peppino he knows rn 🧡
#chattin#answered#long post#saucy#not really but wehg#pepstavo#WAMBLIN…….i care about them sm#its funny that u mention him getting frustrated bc yes thats exactly how i see him#like hes a CRYBABY and he will cry over any strong emotion and getting angry definitely fits in that category#but like i am drawing them being so BAD and its bc i like that once gus gets past that outer anxious shell#gus gets to see that oh. he is SO playful and silly…#and hes got a ton of confidence when hes like. yknow. not drowning in debt and a constant reminder of his failures#gus was really ready to be w this angry man FOREVER but hes happy to know that peppino is not actually this angry and bitter all the time

you know I was thinking last night as I rewatched Being John Malkovich, a movie which always reminds me of dirk, about how he actually would've started out using somethingawful just due to timeline of his universe. the very first time he spent money on the internet was to unban his account
#dirk strider#karkat vantas#homestuck#he stole credit card information to do so#lucy art#self harm#sorry we haven't started the mspfas detailing dirks entire life saga with the dozens of hours we've talked about him yet including#abandoning slick to elope with his adopted son after months of antagonizing and hating him for being a spineless wimpy loser#with whom a more sincere relationship began in earnest through a polemic argument regarding being john malkovich#because up until that point he has only seen karkat in accompaniment to slick kk’s abusive father figure that dirk is also kind of dating so#he doesn’t see him being even remotely kind of a person up until this point like they actually square off over it and it’s a bonding#experience because dirk realizes karkat is very capable of getting a legitimate rise out of him in a way that is SHOCKINGLY a little fun and#enjoyable. and then with the help of karkat's inquisitve and sensitive eyes realizes he’s just retraumatizing himself and then they run away#and slick dies sonless alone bitter and angry from lung cancer he got from droog’s secondhand smoke

Bi-Han, Sektor & Frost: parricide
Bi-Han: MK1 story mode (2023)
Sub-Zero: He [father] did us a favor, having that accident. And I was right to let him die.
Frost: MK11 intro dialogue vs Jax Briggs (2019)
Frost: I killed my mother when I was twelve.
Sektor: MK9 (2011)
Character Bio:
"The son of the Grand Master, it was never in question that Sektor would join the Lin Kuei. What pleases the Grand Master is the degree to which his son relishes the life of an assassin. The secretive clan allows Sektor to express his darker nature, using any means necessary to complete his tasks. Hired by Shang Tsung, his current assignment is to attend the Mortal Kombat tournament and eliminate the Earthrealm competitors before they have a chance to compete. Though this mission will put his clan in good standing with Shao Kahn, Sektor's ultimate goal is to supplant his father as Grand Master of the Lin Kuei."
Sektor's ending
"Sektor had dedicated his life to the Lin Kuei. His victories had brought honor to his father, the Grand Master. He had proven himself worthy. It was time to replace his father. In a bold attack, Sektor smashed through a company of Lin Kuei guards as he pushed toward the Grand Master’s chamber. There he found his father waiting. The Grand Master warned him that wearing the Dragon Medallion brought much power, but at a cost. Sektor ignored the warning and slew his father, whose soul burst from his body and flew into the medallion. Sektor placed the artifact around his neck. He had finally seized control of the Lin Kuei."
#mortal kombat#bi han#sub zero#sektor#frost#mortal kombat spoilers#i think a lot about this#how sektor frost and bi han are tied to each other#but also how interesting bi han did not plan to murder his father to take his place the way sektor did#like yeah he did not aid father in need and is responsible for his death and kuai liang (and smoke) has every right to be angry at bi-han#but it sounds like bi han simply seized an opportunity the same way he seized one offered by shang tsung#while sektor killed his father to take over and he wanted supplant grandmaster even as a human#granted sektor's father in most timelines/version seems to be ruthless bastard#while we don't know much about current sub zero bros' father#nor about frost's reason to kill her mother (before she even joined lin kuei it seems?)#but she always was bitter about family in her intros so i guess there is an untold story there#anyway i find it interesting that bi han is said to be murderer of his father though it doesn't sound as he personally killed him#just did not aid in time of need?#while sektor did for sure slain his father#frost said she killed her mother but we don't have any solid data why either#just a thought that sits in my mind for days about the lin kuei disaster trio#how bi han changed and now seems to be a bit of mix of noob saibot sektor and frost negative traits

nika & romance
thinking abt that alia + romance thing @lavampira did and as it would seem that today is nika romance day (since it's all i can think about) so i'm taking inspo, i hope you don't mind <3
silvairre
minor crush back when he was in gridania. nothing truly exceptional. they're not really in contact anymore, although they bump shoulders sometimes.
minfilia
first love. when nika first joined the scions, he was largely aimless, aside from wanting new materials for his songs; minfilia gave him a sense of purpose, even if the key part - part where he too deeply cares for eorzea and does this out of selflessness - didn't really show up. they became friends, and eventually nika fell in love, though minfilia never really returned his feelings. instead, he was glad to simply serve wherever she sent him, and that was enough. her happiness was enough. unfortunately, by the end, nika started feeling used, yet nurtured his love for her for long enough to swallow his feelings on the matter.
his feelings may have even become more intense simply because he knew, deep down, that he had no chances with her. he never tried anything, never bothered her about it, it just floated unresolved for years before her death. she's still a sore spot, and he isn't really sure whether he will ever entirely finish grieving for her, even if he allows himself some measure of anger she left behind. but hey, what is grief if not love persevering? there is no world in which nika does not love minfilia, in whatever capacity.
lyse
a small crush that would have been if there wasn't artoirel. a love that would've gone very sour, very quickly. best left at a single hookup.
artoirel
another case of nika catching feelings for someone he can't, initially, have. nika's equal in a lot of respects; honest to a fault, not very nice, competent yet reserved. nika doesn't begrudge artoirel for trying to get him killed at first. there's a lot of ease in accepting each other, faults and good qualities, between them. artoirel, thus, began to feel like a certain safety. they bonded greatly over their shared love of music and their shared grief for haurchefant. artoirel doesn't ask anything of nika the same way minfilia did, nor does nika himself look for a superior, even though artoirel outranks him by far. to him, artoirel's rank isn't something that matters all that much, just as nika's status as the warrior of light doesn't matter to artoirel after a while.
instead, what they end up being for each other is a partner and an equal, because brothers doesn't quite cut it. it's the one place in this star where nika doesn't have to be the warrior of light, where he can simply be himself, and vice versa, where artoirel isn't the count de fortemps. they're just two guys of equal yet opposite vibes, and at some point, they allied to try and make sense of their respective lots in life. sense is nowhere in sight, but they're too bound together to undo that alliance now. at least they have each other's company on the road.
#nero plays ffxiv#nika perseis#nika x minfilia#nika x artoirel#wolship#wol x minfilia#wol x artoirel#minfilia warde#artoirel de fortemps#not commenting on lyse and silvairre bc they're simply in passing. reverie. envy. 'do i wanna be him or fuck him.'#but they should be mentioned#would've mentioned estinien but that's for a nika & friendship post#there are no romantic feelings between nika and estinien#and a lot of interesting contrasts between his relationships with thancred and estinien respectively#how he idolizes thancred in his youth and then accepts estinien as he is when he's a little older#and how all three of them are angry jaded and bitter#gahhh i love nika's relationships with people. esp other men. they're fun to write about#bc he gets along with women just fine as a general statement. if said woman is one of the rare few PEOPLE he likes#but men are a whole other ballgame bc well nika does have a lot of toxic masculinity and one of his major themes is masculinity so

Gordon would kill for the girls actually in my mind. He used to be upset that his old friends moved to other places on the island, but while it still hurts sometimes, he's grown to love Nia and Rebecca dearly. Do NOT fucking insult them in his presence those are HIS girls and he WILL do everything in his power to protect them. He's like the scary worker who would choke a man to death to protect his fellow coworkers. He's everyone's dad.
#ttte#thomas and friends#thomas & friends#I just get so angry when ppl hate on the girls bc they happened to replace Henry and Edward. AS IF THEY DID THAT ON PURPOSE.#they have SO much personality and Nia's backstory is so sad but everyone just calls them boring and uninteresting just bc they aren't-#-Henry and Edward#and I think honestly Gordon would end up feeling the way I do because despite his rough exterior he clearly cares about the other engines.#like he may be bitter over things himself and he may not admit it aloud but he does care about Nia and Rebecca. Especially Nia due to her-#-whole situation. Being sent to another country away from all of your friends because you have nowhere else to go...#And we've seen Gordon and Rebecca bond in canon. We KNOW he likes her quite a bit.
