#HI I LIKE PAIN.

MCFLY JULY ‘24 ⸺ 「 12 / 31 * ALL-NIGHTER 」

‘Attention please, attention please. One of our units has just been successfully dropped on Japan.’

Emmett can’t get those crackling words out of his head. They play over and over on a constant loop, permanently seared into his memory, fraying the already thin shred of sanity and composure that’s holding him together, lest he be reduced to an emotional wreck in front of his colleagues.

His head and his heart fight their own personal war within him and the idea that—even for the briefest of moments, no longer than it took him to blink and the words to sink in—he felt even a twinge of exhilaration and pride upon hearing of the success of the last several years of his life twists his stomach into knots.

It’s moments like this where Emmett almost wishes he had any tolerance for alcohol. While he’s never believed in running from his problems, desperation is a vise-grip tightening around his throat, pushing his thoughts into a place they wouldn’t normally go.

Blacking out might just be better than the images being conjured up behind his eyes.

Devastation, pure and simple. War—no, the world will never be the same again. They have birthed monsters exponentially more dangerous than anything Nature could have conjured and unleashed them upon the world to devour indiscriminately and disappear only once they’ve had their fill.

Those were people, innocent and not. Emmett shudders to think what they have been reduced to now.

The reports have not come in yet—thank God, for he doesn’t know how much more he can take at the moment—but Emmett sees unprecedented horrors—chunks of earth gouged out by the greedy hand of an insatiable beast, countless unrecognisable masses heaped over each other in a desolate wasteland—

Will the ground split beneath their feet and swallow them, too?

They say imagination is sometimes far more dangerous than reality, but he struggles to think how anything could possibly surpass whatever has become of Japan.

His body feels heavy—how many times now has he skulked around The Hill, slowly but surely carving tracks into the earth beneath his feet as he takes the same circuit again, passing by the dormitories that are still bustling with an excitement he simply can’t understand—but if he stops, those images will catch up with him, torture him, drive him mad.

Laughter escapes from one of the open windows, thundering across the otherwise deathly silence he’d submerged himself in, and Emmett turns his head to see a few of the soldiers standing beside each other, their mouths split wide and their heads thrown back, entirely unfazed by the reality of what just happened.

Laios Touden Period Cramps moodboard

[image ID: a 3x3 moodboard of alternating Dungeon Meshi manga panels and Delicious in Dungeon anime screenshots of Laios suffering from cramps and stomach pain, arranged in sequential order to show how his pain progresses. Laios is a blond tallman (human) in grey plate armor. In some images, there is a closeup of his face with a pained expression or crying, while the rest show him doubled over on the ground. In two manga panels, Laios says, "My stomach. Urrgh..." Narrative text from the other panels read, "Laios tried to say something... But overwhelming stomach pain and nausea wiped all thoughts from his mind. For an entire night, it felt like his stomach was being carved open from the inside." End ID.]

When a cunty witch beats you to death then steals your boy toy for eternal torment 😢 (based on that 'don't you miss her???' meme)

Big fan of when a character's grief/trauma/guilt manifests as physical symptoms. Big fan of characters keeping things so tight inside them that it makes them sick. Big fan of when the line blurs between a character's mental trauma and physical illness until it's hard to tell which is which anymore.

#obsessed with their priorities

Hate (affectionate) how it's made so clear from the very beginning of part 1 just how loved Paul is by his family and household. Both his parents, Duncan, Gurney, Thufir, even Dr Yueh all clearly care so deeply for this kid, and we're shown that time and time again.

Cut to the end of part two, and almost every one of those people is gone. The only ones who remain are a weird, came-back-wrong version of Jessica, and Gurney who has gone from mentor to worshipper. Paul goes from someone deeply loved and valued for who he is by a small but caring group of people - to someone followed and worshipped and feared by thousands. They're obsessed with him in a way, as a leader and "messiah", but nobody loves him.

The only one remaining who loves him for who he is is Chani, who leaves him because in the end that love isn't enough to bring who he is back.

On a very stupid note, can you imagine how embarrassing it is for Bruce Wayne, the most paranoid and secretive man on earth, that whenever there's drama in his family it inevitably reaches a significant portion of the superhero community?

And he can't even go after any one person, because Alfred would tell Dick (who tells Wally and Donna, especially if it was really stupid), Steph would tell Kara (who would tell Clark, who would tell Diana, who already knew via Donna), and Tim would tell Kon, Damian would tell Jon and Connor, Duke tells Jason about it, and because Wally told Barry Hal now knows (and other Lanterns), J'onn knew because Bruce was fuming and Clark was trying to figure out how to bring it up, Cass told Dinah and Barbara so now the entirety of the Arrowfam and Birds of Prey know too and so on.
