Fucked up how Ryuki didn’t even wanna be a detective. That was his brothers dream. He just adopted it for himself as a way of carrying out what his brother always wanted. And it corrupted him, because he was sick with malice for injustice, for an unnamed man who killed his brother. This was never what Ryuki wanted, his motives were always warped because he’s at war with himself, with the person he’s been for 17 years and then the version of his brother he’s built for himself to become. He isnt real anymore. There’s no Kuruto, just Ryuki

Wondering if Astrid's character is actually bad. Or if people see her, the female love interest, in a relationship with the main male character, see her girly and emotional side on top of the badass warrior side, see her get in trouble and be saved by her main male character boyfriend (completely disregard that he needs just as much saving and that she does a lot of that saving) and then call her character bad.

More late night thoughts on Hazbin Hotel Episode 5:
It’s kinda funny to me, how when episode 5 first dropped everyone in the Alastor tag were freaking out over how horrible a person he was to be treating Husk like that and that he and Valentino were exactly the same or that if this is how he treats Husk imagine how he treats his other friends/Nifty!
But my first thought, my gut reaction, was ALASTOR’S ON A LEASH?! And Wow, what a loss of control there pal.
Because Alastor’s a character who, at his core, likes to be in control. Of himself, his reactions, and the situations he finds himself in. He has a pathological need to always be smiling because it gives him a sense of control over himself and projects the idea to others that nothing bothers him and everything is always going his way.
So to lose that composure, that act so completely in front of Husk? Because of one little comment? And show exactly how much that little taunt had affected him?
That was the thing that stuck out to me. Not his treatment of Husk or their relationship. Because that was a little snippet into Alastor’s head, how he ticks, how he reacts, what sets him off.
It’s very very telling how afterwards he acts like nothing is wrong, like he hadn’t just threatened to tear Husk’s soul apart and broadcast his screams across hell. He even plays a little jaunty tune, forces levity into the situation, and pretends like there’s nothing wrong. It’s clear he’s clamping down on his emotions, and taking back control of the situation, of himself, by doing that. Like taking a deep breath after a sudden rush of intense uncontrolled emotion.
Because in a way it’s almost, embarrassing? To lose control like that, especially towards someone who’s soul he outright owns. Usually when people get on his nerves (and he thinks he can get away with it), he taunts them, mocks them, and treats them condescendingly until they take themselves out in anger, or the conversation shifts away from the topic that had him on edge. (And he tries that with Husk at first, except Husk is too perceptive and not afraid to call someone out on their bullshit.)
So for Alastor to feel like he’d lost control of the situation so much that he’d grasp at it by forcibly reminding Husk how he controls his soul is just, wow. Reminding himself of the control he has on someone else’s soul to forget he’s lost control of his own soul. Dude REALLY doesn’t have it all together as he’d like for others to believe.
Anyways, stream of consciousness thoughts. But all this to say that I’m like, 99% sure Alastor’s a little in over his head? With whatever the fucks going on with his “leash”. And he’s very desperately trying to pretend that Everything is Fine even when it’s Clearly Not.

Is Ice just as oblivious when men are hitting on him? I know you had him clueless and unaware he was on a dinner date with his female classmate but I wonder if there are some guys that clock him as gay and then flirt with him.
generally clueless (as in, simply not devoted to paying attention anymore) but not stupid. obviously if you beat someone over the head when you come on to them they’ll figure it out eventually. he might even figure it out quicker with guys because it’s more “out of the ordinary” so to speak
im imagining for instance him and maverick going out to a bar in the early/mid 90s and maverick is off putting the moves on someone else (because he’s maverick but also perhaps to make ice jealous [like a 25% success rate]) and ice gets clocked and hit on by the guy next to him… and his reaction is like 50% “not interested 😒🤨” and 50% “not interested 😌💅” his needs are already being met no WAY this guy could compare to mav 😋

I love ep 35 of steeplechase so much! Beef with his beautiful speech about how he wouldn’t hesitate to protect someone. “I would do it again in less than a heartbeat. My impulse will ALWAYS be to take the hit.”
Emerich natch being awkward and fumbling but genuine. Because he literally does have so much empathy, especially for non (traditionally) living things.
and then Montrose is just like. Oh no. Oh I am not made for this. Better lie through my teeth! …what do you mean that didn’t work. Ahem. Viva la revolution, anyone?

can. can i see the kobra cat.
pawty told him about how squirrels will chew up snake shed and rub that into their tails to trick other snakes. he thought the “this is to intimidate snakes so they don’t eat them” part went without saying but he doesn’t want to crush his dreams now. who knows. maybe it’ll work

I feel this deep desire to get into Tommy's POV. like I need to know what he was thinking in his head when he kissed Buck. I need to know how he feels about Buck and Eddie and himself and how he became this way and where he is now. i need to know more and everything about him
