“i’m so nervous,” you said for the millionth time that afternoon.

“don’t worry, it’s gonna be okay. and i’ll be right next to you. if you feel uncomfortable at any moment just come up to me and squeeze my hand and we’ll immediately leave.” soobin assured you.

you were walking towards soobin’s friend’s dorm and you were so nervous you felt like you were gonna explode from it. soobin gave you a small rundown of his friends before coming.

sunghoon was the meanest one of his friends. according to soobin, he doesn’t have a filter and doesn’t really care if he hurts your feelings because of it. sakura was the second. typical rich queen bee bitch, but a bit of a wildcard if she thinks you could do something for her. beomgyu was the third, but him and sakura could honestly be tied. he also has no filter, but unlike sunghoon, he thinks before he speaks. soobin said that taehyun was the nicest out of all of them, but not to underestimate his rudeness. he typically won’t say things outright to your face, but you’ll know if he didn’t like you.

you laughed nervously when he told you this and asked, “so why are you friends with these people again?”

“that’s just them on the surface to keep others away,” soobin had said. “once you get to know them, they’re the best friends you could honestly ask for.”

you tried to give his best friends the benefit of the doubt. you weren’t sure if it was working.

suddenly soobin was knocking on a dorm room door and you were hiding your shaking hands behind your back. soobin cupped your cheek and gave you a quick kiss on it.

the door flew open and a guy with longish dark hair smiled widely, looking you up and down. you shifted in your spot.

“beomgyu,” soobin said, then waved over you to, “this is y/n.” he said nothing but just stepped aside so the two of you could come in.

the room was actually quite big, definitely bigger than the dorm room you had.

the other two guys, taehyun and sunghoon, we’re lounged out on one of the beds while sakura was perched on the edge of the other with her legs crossed. when she saw you, she immediately stood up and made her way over to you.

“so this is the famous girlfriend,” sakura said, a hint of a smile on her lips. she crossed her arms and looked over you.

“hello! i’m y/n,” you replied.

taehyun came up next, wrapping an arm around sakura’s shoulders. in the corner you saw sunghoon stand as well.

“don’t crowd around her!” soobin exclaimed, making everyone take a couple steps back.

“well, lets let her sit down!” taehyun said and then guided you over to the couch. soobin immediately sat down next to you.

as they all stared at you, you couldn’t help but feel as if you were being analyzed. chairs were pulled up and others sat on the edge of the table in front of the couch to get a closer look. you felt like you were under a microscope.

“guys…” soobin said, and it was like a switch flipped. immediately the tension in the room lifted a little.

“so… tell us about yourself,” sakura started, “what do you like to do for fun?”

suddenly everything you thought was fun to do escaped you. you searched the depths of your brain as fast as you could for an answer. you didn’t want to hesitate on such an easy question.

“i like going down to the beach and swimming in the ocean with my friends.” you finally said. “sometimes around nighttime we’ll buy sparklers and light them. it’s really fun!”

sakura made a ‘hm’ sound, but didn’t say anything. you decided to try and ask her a question.

“what do you like to do for fun?”

she tilted her head at you, pursing her lips before speaking. “i like putting people in their place.”

you gave soobin a quick glance. you weren’t really sure what to say to that, so you said nothing. your eyebrows subtly raised.

the outing was primarily them asking you questions, you hesitating an answer, you asking them a question, and them giving you a slightly uncomfortable answer. the only person who didn’t partake in this was taehyun. he seemed to be the only one to remember your previous answers and ask you follow up questions on them, which you were very grateful for.

if things got a little too uncomfortable or the tension got too thick, soobin would step in. you really didn’t want to have to leave the outing early, though you really didn’t know how long it was supposed to last anyways. you were determined to make it through and make a somewhat good impression.

halfway through the outing, beomgyu just up and left, saying nothing. that made you extra nervous. but soobin quickly informed you that he just had a class to get to.

somehow the topic got on to your birthday. the tension was low and you were finally feeling like you were making a dent into getting soobin’s friends to be your friends.

“your birthday is soon?!” sakura said, taking your hands in hers and smiling. she was sitting on the other side of you now. “well, i have to throw a party for you, of course! when is it?”

you told her that it was actually this upcoming week. and when you said you really didn’t have plans for it, just hanging out with your friends and boyfriend, did she introduce the party idea.

“it’ll be super fun! you can even have your private party on the fourth floor where we usually are!” she motioned around the room. so that was what was on the fourth floor! “there will be security, of course. so if you have any crazy exes, you don’t have to worry.”

sunghoon snickered. you felt your heart drop a little as you remembered your past. you mustered up a smile.

“oh… you don’t have to worry about that.” you said sheepishly. “it’ll probably be just me, soobin, and my friends.”

“i’ll invite people! i’ll text you the deets,” sakura concluded. she stood up and gave air kisses to her friends, and waved to you. “i have places to be, see you at the party!”

sunghoon got up and followed her out the door.

it was now only you, soobin, and taehyun in the room. you breathed in and found that it was a little easier to do so. you were so nervous, you hadn’t realized how close you scooted next to soobin. you were practically so close to him you were in his lap.

“maybe we should all go to the beach sometime,” taehyun spoke. “like a group thing with your friends. if you two are dating then it’ll be good to start merging our friend groups.”

he sat on the edge of the table, leaning back on his hands. he looked at you, awaiting your answer. you looked over to soobin, and then cautiously back to taehyun.

“sure! if that’s okay. maybe we can make a group chat and plan it?” you looked between the two boys. they stared intently at each other before taehyun looked over at you and smiled, nodding slightly. he stood up, which caused you to immediately stand, which caused soobin to stand.

“i have to get ready to go to the library to study, it was nice meeting you, y/n.” he offered you a smile. it looked genuine enough.

“it was nice meeting you too!” you returned his smile.

soobin started to guide you to the door before you heard taehyun say, “y/n!”

you turned back to him, slightly anxious.

“be careful.” he said. you gave him a puzzled look. you felt soobin take your hand.

taehyun pointed to the floor. there was a pile of clothes that you were definitely about to trip over. you let out a quiet nervous laugh as you looked down at it.

“oh! thanks!” you replied, looking back to him.

soobin squeezed your hand and you turned back to him and followed him out the door. taehyun gave his goodbyes as he closed his door.

when you were halfway down the hall and were sure taehyun couldn’t hear you through his closed door, you stopped and let out a sigh of relief. you doubled over, breathing heavily. soobin ran a hand down your head that stopped at the small of your back.

“my goodness,” you finally said. “that was intense.”

“i tried to warn you,” soobin replied, a smile playing on his lips.

you gave a sharp but playful glare and he laughed. you needed to talk to your friends immediately. mainly to tell them about everything, but also to tell them about the party sakura was planning for you. which opened a black hole in your stomach.

“let’s stop by kai’s dorm room,” you told soobin as you began walking in it’s direction.

masterlist.

summary: choi soobin has always been the popular kid surrounded by his popular friends. y/n… not so much. one night, soobin and his friends make bet that soobin can’t get y/n to date him in a month. unfortunately for y/n, they’re a hopeless romantic.

A/N: sakura throwing a birthday party for you… good luck charlie

Do you remember when Markiplier's Smash or Pass Pokemon video went viral? I heard about it and ofc was curious bc Pokemon is my favorite thing ever, and I know this man would make the video funny. It was! I laughed, I audibly asked him why he made choices, I nodded in resignation, Then it happened. The thought that would change the trajectory of the week for me.

"Hey so you do pokemon designs. You design fakemon, right? What if. What if you-"

and I immediately went to twitter where people were talking about it. Somebody made a chart of all of Markiplier's Smash picks in loose categories. I poured over the video, noting every reaction to the pokemon he enthusiastically smashed and hard passed. I analyzed body types, themes, concepts, came up with a clear picture.

A presentation was made. canvasses littered with circles and notes. An audience formed as I designed it live. Color palettes were made, body shapes and concepts shot in and out of existence. We lost our collective minds as we reached for the perfect design. The exact kind of pokemon that would fit a specific set of criteria.

We did it.

We made a Psychic/Water type Deep-sea alien.

I wasn't done though. I waited patiently, hoping for the trend of pokemon smash or pass videos to reach more people. I didn't find many I wanted to do.

Until ProZD made one.

Nobody had analyzed his video like people had for Markiplier's, so I catalogued every single pokemon he Smashed, Passed, how much, the types of all of them, body types, themes. For at least a week, I was fixated. Captivated by the process. I couldn't replicate the storm that was my first design, but I didn't want to. This time, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I went live again, with friends and strangers alike, and made another.

Swolder, the weightlifting pokemon. Fighting/Fire type.

I haven't seen any more smash or pass videos I want to study under a microscope, but I'll be waiting. Watching. Biding my time.

#this is a very serious post about something extremely fucking funny I decided to do on a whim fghjk #I hope a gay man makes one of these so I can really just #go hard in the paint #or hell anybody who loves men #npc-arts #digital art #pokemon #markiplier #prozd #fakemon

WE WERE HAPPY | max verstappen

A BONUS PART OF BROKEN GLASS AND HONEY SERIES.

CAN ALSO BE READ AS A ONE-SHOT.

PAIRINGS: ex!max verstappen x fem!reader, slight daniel ricciardo x fem!reader

WORD COUNT: 1.1k

SUMMARY: max reminisces the past while still hoping there will be a future with you.

WARNINGS: breakup, allusions to a hidden relationship, feelings of hurt and regret. let me know if i missed any warnings. [⚠︎︎RATING: 16+]

AUTHOR’S NOTE: inspired by taylor swift’s song with the same title. i’m saying sorry in advance for hurting y’all lmao enjoy the first bonus part of the series!

DESTINATION: Angst Avenue | GO TO SERIES MASTERLIST or GO BACK TO THE STATION.

Judgement.

The very thing Max had to endure from his waking day to his resting night.

Society had this insatiable hunger for every detail of his life. It was as if he was living in a fishbowl, constantly under the microscope of public opinion. And while some people were fine handling the judgment and the unsolicited advice, he didn’t want to handle them.

Love, to him, was something pure, something tender that deserved to be nurtured in privacy and solitude. He wanted to protect its fragile beauty from the harsh winds of judgment that inevitably blew his way. There was something incredibly sacred about love when it was shielded from prying eyes. When it was allowed to blossom in the quiet corners of life, away from the constant scrutiny of the world. It felt like a precious secret, something that only you and he held dear, and that was what he wanted to protect.

He knew that for something to be protected, it needed a shield.

And that was what he did—a shield. He created one just for you.

He had seen just what would happen when relationships became public knowledge. Every moment was always dissected, analyzed, and twisted to fit the warped narratives society loved to create. Suddenly, the private joys would become a subject of gossip, and the heartfelt moments would be displayed as entertainment for the masses.

He refused to let his love life become another spectacle for the world to feast upon. He refused to subject you to the constant barrage of opinions and criticisms. It wasn't about being deceitful or hiding what you had with him. No, it was about preserving the peace he had found and ensuring that the love flourished away from the harsh glare of public scrutiny.

He was trying to protect his peace. But above all, he was trying to protect your peace.

He wanted the love you shared to be pure, unadulterated by outside influences, and unburdened by the expectations imposed upon him. He wanted it to be a sanctuary, a haven where he could truly be himself without the need to conform to societal norms.

So, he continued to keep your relationship hidden from the public eye, not out of shame, but out of a deep desire to protect the delicate balance you and him had created.

He believed in the happiness within the sanctuary he had built with you, away from the prying eyes of the outside world. Because, for him, that was where his peace and yours truly resided.

It was funny how his mind wandered back to the memories he held dear, even when those memories were filled with bittersweet reminders of what once was. He found himself revisiting the past, reliving moments when happiness was a constant companion, but now, it felt like a distant dream.

You were happy.

He used to secretly walk along the streets with you, back when the porch lights were shining bright and he would wear some ridiculous outfit that was far from his usual style just to keep people away from knowing who he was.

The world felt so much brighter with you. He missed the way your laughter would fill a room and all the things you did before he eventually had somewhere to be. He missed how your touch could heal the deepest wounds within his soul back when he still had all your nights.

And you were happy.

He missed the love you shared, the knowing glances, the silent understanding of each other's hearts.

He could recall a good while back, when he snuck into your apartment. You threw your arms around his neck back when he still deserved it.

You were happy.

Back when it was good, it was good.

No one could touch the way you both laughed in the dark, talking about your family business you were going to inherit someday.

And you were happy.

You used to watch the sun go down on the boats in the water with him. That was sort of how he felt right now. At least now he knew that going down with you was far better than feeling down without you.

But the worst thing of all, far worse than being without you, was seeing you with Daniel.

He hated the voices in his head telling him you were better with Daniel. But as much as he wanted to get away from them, they didn't give him choices because he also knew there was a truth in what those voices said. And that truth was what his tears were for.

'Cause you were happy.

But not with him.

There was a time when he had it all. Love wrapped around him like a warm embrace, filling his days with laughter and his heart with contentment. You were both so incredibly happy. He had found his soulmate, his partner in crime, and together you painted a beautiful picture of love.

You shared dreams, hopes, and aspirations. Your love was this incredible force, propelling each other forward, pushing both of you to become the best versions of yourselves. Every smile, every touch, every stolen moment seemed like a chapter from a fairytale.

But then, he made a terrible mistake. He let his fears and insecurities overwhelm him, clouding his judgment and poisoning his relationship with you. He pushed away the very person who had given him so much joy. He let his own demons sabotage the happiness you had built together.

He wondered if he should tell you what happened back in his home race week.

He was staying at his family home before the race weekend started. Sat on the couch with his family and his phone in his hand, he showed your face to his family.

They had asked him where you were but he could only shrug.

He finally introduced you to his family.

But only with pictures because you weren’t there.

Words could not describe what he felt when he saw you with Daniel. God knew how much he wanted to pull you away from him that moment but all he could do was freeze on his spot and look away.

That should've been him by your side.

But the truth was, he messed up. He let the fear of losing what he had due to public judgment consume him, and in doing so, he lost it all. The regret and guilt he was carrying weighed heavy on his heart, reminding him of what he had and what he foolishly let slip away.

All he needed now was a second chance.

And he swore to never lose you again.

You might be with Daniel now, but he wasn't giving up.

One thing was sure, he wasn't going down without a fight.

He wanted you to be the one he would marry someday.

And you would be happy.

Well I think this calls for Andy’s intro Drabble don’t you think?!?!

I See Trouble on the Way

Pairing: Andy Barber x Reader (Runner)

W/C: 675

Warnings: mentions of animal attacks, impersonating law enforcement

A/N: this is a little Drabble that is part of our We’re All Monsters AU. As always comments and reblogs are my fuel. Please let me know your thoughts!

You stared at the man across the table from you. He seemed so normal. But looking in his eyes you could see there was something that wasn’t like most men you had ever encountered before. You took a sip of your coffee, black with a little sugar.

“So Professor Barber, I’m sorry to bother you with all these questions, but we really want to get to the bottom of all these animal attacks. Any information you can provide about the students would be really helpful.”

Professor Barber gave you a wry smile that had the lines around his eyes creasing. “Of course! I want to help in any way I can. Although I must say I’m a little surprised the FBI would be looking into animal attacks on a college campus. Isn’t that a job for animal control?”

His eyes were analyzing you, taking in your every reaction. You had never felt more under the microscope than you did now. You felt yourself get flustered at his questioning. “I, uh, well I’m new as I’m sure you could already tell. So I’m sure they sent me off on a wild goose chase to test me or something.”

Andy hummed and took a sip of his tea grimacing at the taste. He mumbled something about baristas not listening before placing the cup down and returning his penetrating gaze to you. “Please, ask away.” His smile was kind, and he reached a hand across the table to rub soothingly at your upper arm.

You fought back the tickle of want between your thighs, and gave him a shy smile. “Thank you Professor. All of the students were taking your classes. Did they have anything else in common that you know of?”

A few moments of silence passed as Professor Barber pondered your question. The whole time his hand never left your arm. “I really can’t think of anything. I’m sorry, with 400 students in a class I’m lucky if I can remember them all.”

You hummed and picked at a thread from your cheap suit jacket. You figured he wouldn’t know anything. You’re not entirely sure why you had agreed to coffee with him in the first place. This was clearly a werewolf attack. The man in front of you was just that, a man. You huffed and started to put your notepad away. “I’m sorry to have taken up so much of your time Professor. I really should get looking into some of the leads we’ve already got.”

Andy barked out a laugh and the sound warmed you to your core. “Did you really think I asked you to coffee so you could question me?”

At your quizzical look he continued. “I’m uhh, well it’s been a while since I’ve done this. My ex really did a number on me. She, uh, she nearly sucked the life out of me. I guess I was just looking for a little companionship.”

Your heart leapt at his words, it was a date! “Oh God I’m so sorry! I didn’t even. Crap. I’m terrible at this. Maybe once my case is all wrapped up, we could actually, you know…” you trailed off. You felt like an absolute fool.

Andy moved to sit in the seat beside you instead of opposite you. “You’re just adorable honey, you know that?”

You stammered and played with your fingers. You couldn’t meet his eyes if you tried. Finally you mumbled out, “My friends call me Runner.”

“Runner.” He tested the name on his tongue, rolling it around before nodding and stroking a finger along your cheek. “I like it, hope it means you won’t run away from me though.”

You chuckled, “Well unfortunately for now I have to get moving on my investigation, but I look forward to hearing from you again Andy. Really.”

You stood from the chair and gathering your items before reaching your hand out to shake his. Andy gave you a soft smile and watched you leave the cafe.

“Don’t worry Runner, you’ll be seeing me again real soon.”

⚠️🚨WARNING UTY SPOILERS AHEAD🚨⚠️

Clover is such an interesting character and silent protagonist. They are selfless, compassionate, kind, brave, and most importantly they are just. All of this is shown through the actions they take throughout all the routes and the little bits of dialogue we get. That being said, I want to put them under a microscope and analyze their whole being, dissecting them one by one till I understand how we can get so much personality from this little guy.

For today's analysis, I'm going to be using Canary in a Coal Mine by The Crane Wives (one of my favorite songs) to help put my thoughts in a coherent way and because I personally think that it suits Clover well. The song is rather short since it mostly comprises of instrumental sections with little bits of lyrics in between them which honestly does remind me of Clover and their very few sections of dialogue.

Right off the bat, the second verse of the song hits us with,

"But I still hold out hope that maybe someday,

I'll be worth more than all the silence left in my way".

Before I get into how that relates to Clover, I'm going to first explain how I interpret Clover's past. During the game, little hints of Clover's past are given when interacting with certain objects, such as the couch and TV in the Feisty Five's house and the sink at the Ketsukane mansion. When interacting with the TV and couch, we can infer that Clover's living conditions were not the greatest with them being reminded of cramped living spaces and having their favorite channel be static. On the other hand, when interacting with the sink, they are reminded of the duties they used to have back on the surface and the people they used to live with. All of these small hints lead me to believe that Clover came from a dysfunctional family who did not have the proper capabilities to support a child, this could have resulted in Clover being neglected and having to grow up to be independent.

This conclusion is supported by the fact that Clover when given the opportunity to, chooses to stay in the Underground with the exception of Pacifist. The two monsters who ask them to stay are Toriel, as shown by Flowey during the Neutral route and the secret ending that you can get if you stay for more then 5 minutes in the room you fell down in after pulling the lever, and Martlet in the Neutral route and Pacifist route. These are both characters who show and give Clover positive attention. I find it hard to believe that a child who climbed Mt. Ebott to find the five missing children and has the soul of justice would give up their mission that easily if they weren't starved from affection and attention.

This verse easily relates to Clover going to the Underground not only to seek justice for the fallen humans but also to be recognized and be given the attention they crave, whether it's by returning the missing children or by the monsters that lay below.

"Feed me promises, keep my heart well,

I'll sing you songs until the darkness does recede"

Can easily be connected to Clover just by playing the game. "Feed me promises, keep my heart well," can be seen through the way most of the main UTY cast promises or tells Clover that they'll help them to get back on the surface such as Martlet, but I relate this particular lyric to Ceroba, especially during the Steamworks.

Ceroba throughout the Steamworks tells Clover of Kanako, Chujin, and her supposed plan of rescuing Kanako from the lab which is the reason Clover even goes through Steamworks during Pacifist (and Neutral if you kill Axis) aside from the fact that it's the only way to get to New Home. She tells all of this to Clover when in truth her actual plan was to steal their soul to hopefully heal Kanako after she fell down and got sent to the lab. Clover has no clue of this and during the trip, Ceroba keeps them safe and even helps them on several occasions such as fending off Axis.

"I'll sing you songs until the darkness does recede" connects to Clover constantly assisting Ceroba in puzzles, exploration, and in battle (Guardener's fight). Additionally, this also applies to the other events before this where Clover helps other monsters in their problems in the mines and around the Honeydew Resort (if you did the side quest of getting the silver bandana).

"But if in the end I lose my voice

Will you forget about your love for me?"

This hurts me to think about since it's so angsty but let's get on with it. This very obviously can be applied to Clover thinking that without their supposed 'usefulness' they would be discarded and returned to being ignored. This especially when they find out about Ceroba's true plan and Chujin's tape, all regarding their soul and how it could save Kanako and help monsterkind regain their freedom. During this, Clover is hurt but at this point they've made up their mind. At this point of the game, I believe Clover already knows what the end of their journey holds and what they're going to do.

After Ceroba's fight and in the True Pacifist ending as the cast is arguing on how they can keep Clover, Clover decides to sacrifice their soul, their very being, their use. To bring justice to monsterkind and help in bringing them closer to the surface, they give up their soul. This was their purpose and if they didn't do this, they would've been useless. After all, this was the reason why Ceroba befriended them and why Martlet tried to capture them. Seven human souls are needed and they are the sixth. They most likely think that if they weren't human, Starlo wouldn't be interested in them.

"And when you break the surface, oh, without me

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah"

This one is self explanatory and the lyric that hurts me the most when I think about Clover with this song. Clover's sacrifice is essential to freeing the monsters and that means they would not be able to join the rest of the cast. Despite this, they still choose to give up their soul, giving them the chance to see the rising sun that has been stolen away from them all those centuries ago. I don't think any of the UTY cast would forget about their selfless sacrifice post UT True Pacifist when the barrier is broken.

"Know that all my love will be your breath

I will save you when your lights go out"

Again, this could apply to the UTY cast but I raise another scenario. It could be aimed towards Frisk calling for help and Clover answering the call, saving Frisk from Flowey when they had no one to turn to. This is canon in both UT and UTY seen in the post end credits scene of the True Pacifist route.

Thank you for reading me yap about Clover and one of my favorite songs for like 1.2k words and I hope you understand where I'm coming from when I say this song is so Clover-coded. Also @loud-whistling-yes I hope you enjoy this analysis and I once again repeat, YOU ARE SO RIGHT AND YOU GET ME!!

may we hear some of your vergilius thoughts? what's your favorite thing about him?

cough couhg hack

i loveeee how he looks like a beautiful grieving widowed maiden and like he’s going to burst into tears every single panel of leviathan 🥺❤️ more serious answer though. no matter how hard he tries to push people away and come off as intimidating he is Very Bad at keeping it up because he cares too much. he was super fucking mean to the sinners earlier in the story because he needed to be but the minute ishmael said she wanted to trust him he just cracks and shows he cares. dante has been relatively nice to him throughout and whenever they show appreciation for him he breaks the facade like

the delivery of this line is especially good because he hesitates + speaks a little softer iirc

i think he’s constantly stuck between needing to be cold in order to survive in the cruel environment of the city but also being softhearted and caring. he’s very loving at heart but there’s no place for that in the city. the fact that he still manages to care this much despite going through hell and losing literally everything makes me weep. i want him to have something nice for once but he is 100% doomed by the narrative and i’m afraid of whatever they’re going to do to him. he is an extremely depressing yet compelling character, i’ve put him under a microscope and analyzed everything i can to the point i know the most useless information about him (he’s ambidextrous and tends to run a hand through his bangs when he’s particularly upset btw)

the influx of love for him after 6-41 made me very happy especially after getting my shit kicked in by losers who just wanted to argue with me when i said they were clearly wrong about him the whole time. now my older vergilius posts on here are getting attention again and my loveposts on twitter tend to get way more likes nowadays and every time im like aughhhhh the people love him they love my wife

i’m hoping since he’s showed he cares about and values the sinners in such a huge way that going forwards he’s more open to being involved in the sinners antics and they affectionately push him around a little like his office did. rodion already kinda does i want the rest of them to as well. he’s a huge dork and i KNOW he’d let them

there's such an interesting thing in Suzie's audios and episodes where she is left "without a choice" and forced to murder others/herself either through her own mistakes or immoral plans (Everything Changes, Sync, TKKS) or through a genuine effort to do the right thing but in the end having no choice but to do something wrong. (Moving Target)

she is so. Desperate. In everything she does, she is desperate for them to go right but plans never end up going the way she wants them. She has told people countless and countless times "I just wanted this to go right and I never wanted *this*" but it keeps happening. She tries so hard and is so desperate to keep her hands clean but every time she looks down they're covered in blood again. Is she obsessed with control? is she just a selfish scientist who would do anything to gain knowledge? Does she genuinely want to help the world but keeps fucking it up??? Suzie Costello I want to put you under a microscope. I want to dig inside your brain. I want to go word by word in every media you've ever been in and analyze it. who are you baby girl.... she's so fascinating to me

#i havent heard the last love song yet but i am so ready for it #everytime i hear a suzie audio i get 20 years of life.#sometimes the most interesting torchwood character is the one who dies in episode one okay????#like ARRGGH shes everything. like shes THE character of all time.. literally besties with a slitheen. who IS SHEEEEE #i stg im gonna have to read her books too #torchwood big finish #torchwood audios #torchwood #if i was any good at talking id make like 3 hr long video essays about her #suzie costello

also just caught up on the latest dunmeshi episodes today and im so happy to see more of kabru that guy is So Intriguing to me. keep in mind that i havent read the manga so i dont really know what his whole deal is yet but i Need to dissect him like a lab specimen under a microscope. which seems to be a very kabruesque thing to say in the first place. his impulse to Figure People Out is SO understandable to me literally girl same i dont think ive ever had a conversation without doing that in the background at all times. except that i really dislike when thats shown as proof that a connection isnt genuine? in kabrus case it *seems* to be portrayed as if him analyzing others puts him at a distance from them. reading between the lines like that is a lot like stepping outside of a game to watch it from a meta perspective and therefore close to looking at others as being "below" you, which is again really easy to push into cynicism territory but at the same time it just depends on how you frame it methinks. what is 'playing a persona' and 'calculating' to one can be 'curious' and 'observant' to another & it matters a LOT how the character themself sees it because it's up to them whether they make it genuine or machiavellian, without the action itself actually changing on the outside. this is Not a dunk on how kabru is written ofc just my thoughts about how acting friendly n laid back to get to see more of a person in an interaction can be both seen as manipulative OR considerate of their comfort in a conversation while still getting to know them. i think the line lies in the degree of how willing to sympathize the one doing the Figuring Out is. as in you probably wouldnt want to talk to someone knowing that theyre only doing it to pick your brain apart while staying completely emotionally uninvolved/judging you but if they simply were very dedicated to understanding you because they want to get to know you better it's SIGNIFICANTLY less creepy. then theres still the issue of distance and control because in both these cases the analyzing one puts themselves in a much less vulnerable position, but while maybe not The Healthiest Mindset for the person doing it i still believe it can make for a perfectly functional positive dynamic. from what ive seen so far kabru is fluid at reading between the lines, level-headed and generally friendly & open, but it's the kind of openness that puts you in control of an interaction just enough to avoid situations where you might become vulnerable, which goes very well with the level-headed thing. still im too early into the series to tell whether that's an actual thing or just my projections so take that as a bunch of my loose notes abt being a well adjusted human person that ive decided to share just for fun👍

#i really like this guy so far but if this interpretation is somewhat correct we could NEVER have a conversation bc itd just end up #escalating into a dance of subtly steering the conversation around until we'd be both left there standing in front of each other #very intensely instead of actually talking #im sorry i NEED to know where a conversation is going always and at any time or else i explode #dm #dunmeshi #kabru dungeon meshi #como misadventures #long post
