#And I will hear him out everytime

[r-aindr0p]

See this is one of the reasons I love this guy so much. Literally anything insignificant happens and he's just like "hell yeah :D !!!"

There he is, the everything and everyone boyfriend, the appreciator of the entire world, here for anyone and nobody at the same time the Rook Hunt

i cannot express enough how much i absolutely HATE him

[luck-of-the-drawings]

so REVENGE, HUH? or justice, if that makes you feel better. it tastes the same when cooked just right. 'I REALLY WANTED A BROTHER.' such a shame to burn a bridge you so desperately wanted to keep, especially when it wasnt even you who started the fire. especially when you hope that not a single fragment of that bridge ever washes ashore.[MAY IT ROT FAR FROM MY SIGHTS] an unfortunate loss! atleast he has his friends.

you guys don't understand how badly i need this illustration in the highest quality possible i feel like a feral animal rattling the bars of my enclosure

One of my mutuals opinions is the "bro code" thing, that Curly is one of those guys who wouldn't care about the victim because the perpetrator is his friend and I'm really banging my head on the wall like that other anon. I've only played through the game once but Curly's behaviour/reactions etc read completely different from the "bro code" thing and I have to wonder if my mutual and I even played the same game.. like the constant digs at him from Jimmy, his body language in his face reveal and so on like you mentioned in your post. While this game is a little different obviously, it kind of reminded of a point in Alice Madness Returns that makes it very clear that Alice's pain blinded her to the abuse of the other children and her failure to act earlier because of it. Curly is guilty of a similar inaction but it doesn't change the fact he was a victim of Jimmy too. I don't think I can look at it any other way because both of these games have really stuck with me.

I genuinely think it really is the idea that people want a simple easy to blame problem and the idea that the only relatable victims of abuse are those that "surpass" it or do a lot to help others. When it comes to victims, especially those that don't fit the typical demographics, who either accidently perpetuate it, enable it or aren't ideal in some way shape or form, people jump to ignore what they went through as it's easier than dealing with those conflicting sentiments.

The bro-code conversation in Mouthwashing stems from a concept I generally dislike that there had to be something about Curly that made him meet or keep being friends with someone like Jimmy. I think people genuinely underestimate how many like decent and good people just know an asshole or are friends with someone who is really bad outside of their view/established dynamics. The game makes it clear none of the inaction against Jimmy is because of a lack of care, it is a lack of understanding from the privaleged postions they have as men to not have to worry about what Anya does/went through and the type of extremes men like Jimmy will go through to cover it up. They are all too preoccupied in their own strifes.

Another thing I see being oversaturated the idea that you have to be a freak, misanthrope or have a disorder to do the thing Jimmy does. The game is an escalation, it's a spiral that I don't see people comment on that Jimmy was not likely having the mood swings and episodes of rage/frustration we were seeing in the game. This is after they all start experiencing the worst moments in their lives that he got THAT openly bad. Of course, this is just my interpretation but much like in real life, people that go to extremes like that usually live mundane lives. It's a pressure cooker affect to where the stress made them pop. It's self inflicted but still the case.

I really think people need to be more willing to acknowledge that not everything needs to be an extreme or in black and white or easy to understand. It doesn't need to be happy or have an answer or solution, especially in the cases where the abused sadly helps perpetuate what they experience. It's not he should've known better from experience or shouldn't he have known what could've happened because victims tend to not like to think in matters of the worst. Not to mention, especially in cases of abuse where it feels so personally directed that you don't expect to happen to someone else.

"Have you ever seen [Barkov] fall? Has he ever fallen? He's never fallen his entire career!" "Uh—It's, uh, funny and I don't know if he'll care that I say this, but he's got those—he doesn't like the blades that you can snap in and out quickly. So when he needs to get his skates done in the middle of a game, he's gotta fully take off his skates, get 'em sharpened and retie them up—which is like one of the few guys in the league, I think, that still do that. So sometimes he'll have absolutely no edge, and he'll just find a way to, like, compensate and get through it—which is incredible." "That kind-of sucks though 'cuz that's like a bad dream to have. You're waiting on something else, like—even if the trainers just like snapped it back in or whatever, like maybe they had something different they can put in there. He probably wouldn't even know!" "[...] this guy's particular. He knows his game and he's goddamn good at it! And we don't say a word so!" "'Barky, we need you out there for the face off! There's two seconds left!'" "That's what I mean! He'll compensate and he'll still look better than all of us! Like if any of us had no edge like that, we'd be screwed, right? And he goes out there and does the Barky things that he does. We're all grateful for it! He's been getting me paid for 10 years now, so."

Remember these official arts?

And remember these songs by HyunA...

Eh? Eh? ehhh?

Both of these songs are obviously more about HyunA than anything but i think there is a connection we can draw between them for Mizi too, and some more insight we can read.

Before round 1 Mizi's naivety is clear. she didn't actually know what alien stage was about until it punched her in the gut with Sua's death with no beforehand warning. She put her soul into My clematis because it was Sua she was pouring it all out with, it was her that she was hopeful she was hopeful she could stand up to the aliens with by her side.

After Mizi is saved she is a new person, she can't go back to the life she had before, she cant be the girl who she was before everything. maybe she doesnt even want to knowing everything she knows? and now that she is forced to face it head on or nothing she will embrace her new self.

And love and peace is hyuna through and through, even from the title. She is a character that one: strives for the freedom and peace of others and two: is still finding that for herself.

She's far from the past now, but she’s still haunted by it in the way she is reminded of Hyun-woo, seeing him from the corner of her eyes as the child she knew and loved before his death. She can’t stop herself from thinking about Luka, too even after everything, even after the pain and anger he's caused and even when she’s gotten so far in this life

She ‘loves’ them, she can’t let them go. Not yet.

But she will, one day.

Archer & T'Pol having to escape being tied together in 'Shadows of P'Jem' by pressing themselves against one another, leading to Archer having to grab T'Pol's ass and ending with T'Pol falling tits first onto Archer's face is so Anime Style Horny that I just started laughing instead of getting mad like I might have otherwise - c'mon guys what're we doing here?? He even has a nosebleed.
