thinking abt how nate has silver hair all over on this fine sinday

[captain-atom]

nate often struggles w his humanity and where he fits in, some of his biggest fears and anxieties stem from the fact that he fears he is something no longer human but rather a poor facsimile of it, because so much of him gaining his abilities is tied w trauma wrt him actively being dehumanized and told he is other, monstrous, etc. i think if nate were to ever confront or come to terms with the fact that humanity and personhood are not the same things he would be a lot happier but he just doesnt have the internal understanding to do that yet and its very fun to explore through different aus

[captain-atom]

i think nate should be a self-aware ai that would be sexy i love giving him existential crises about if hes a real boy or not

[captain-atom]

im deranged so im formulating a “nate is an npc who becomes self-aware” au bc im watching free guy

“What, like I’ll ever get a better opportunity to start fresh? There’s no time like the present!”

captain-atom​:

“Hell, Carol, I don’t need empty carbs, I need a new life! Somewhere else!”

“ why now? ” 

[captain-atom]

“Hell, Carol, I don’t need empty carbs, I need a new life! Somewhere else!”

captain-atom​:

“That’s it. I’m changin’ my name and movin’ to Vermont.”

“Call me if the world’s endin’. Or don’t! You’ll probably be fine without me.”

“ why don’t you eat some bread and calm down? “

[captain-atom]

“That’s it. I’m changin’ my name and movin’ to Vermont.”

“Call me if the world’s endin’. Or don’t! You’ll probably be fine without me.”

i think nate should get his turn to fake his death for drama and pull a mix between a gone girl & metro man maneuver

“Yeesh, I’ve been in a kitchen or two in my time. But alright, alright, it’s your house.” Hands are respectfully in the air where Carol can see them.
