Thinking many many thoughts about how Jean was Riko's partner for a YEAR and was still rooming with Goon #3. Because that was how unwilling Riko was to let go of Kevin. And how that implies that Jean was placed as his partner both because of the practicality of Kevin being gone AND as a punishment for letting him go in the first place. Being partners with Jean could actually slow Riko down depending on how often he's hurt (because I don't think Riko was all that exempt from the rules to the point where his partner's performance would completely not matter) and he was still placed there. Riko was just THAT angry at him over Kevin's escape. And all the while he was keeping Kevin's side of room like an altar, even back when he didn't even think Kevin could PLAY, because of an injury he caused.

#'average aftg fan thinks about Kevins side of the room once a day.' factoid. headboard georg (me) is thinking on it at all times #everything about the perfect court makes me so absolutely insane i am chewing on glass #do you guys think that Jean would still have distracted Riko if he knew Kevin was going to leave?#moreover. do you guys REALLY think Jean didn't at least suspect he was leaving #because tsc is probably going to prove me wrong but I think he would and he knew #anyway. i said it before and i will say it again #the kevriko toxic teen girl homoerotic friendship rizz is unparalleled #riko moriyama the man that you are. they could never make me think you're uninteresting I want to use your brain as a saltshaker #I don't think Riko (or Tetsuji for that matter since he prompted it) ever actually realised what Kevin's injury MEANT. like for real #it wasn't putting him in his place it was destroying the very idea of the perfect court. it was DONE #if Kevin hadn't recovered. if the plot of AFTG hadn't happened. how long would it have taken for Riko to realize #that HE killed the very thing he built his life around and was just dragging it behind him like a corpse (Jean)#kevin day #riko moriyama #jean moreau #the sunshine court #all for the game #the perfect court

this is a Princes in the Tower and Edward of Lancaster stan account btw

#I do not want to hear one word against Edward of Lancaster #not a single one #least of all if you're a yorkist stan who thinks that edmund of rutland's death in battle at 17 by his father's enemies is a tragedy #while simultaneously thinking that edward of lancaster's death in battle at the same age by HIS father's enemies is a cause of celebration #deeply embarrassing and unserious behaviour #and where to even start with how the majority of self-declared 'Yorkists' treat the Princes in the Tower 🤡#I've truly never seen anything like it #first they try to vilify two children (including a literal 9-year-old) for being 'Woodvilles'#which in their minds is synonymous to greed/duplicity/ambition/unworthiness aka how they view the Princes' mother #then they try to deny that their vaunted Richard III murdered them even though they're perfectly willing to believe John murdered Arthur #then they try to argue that Richard III was just 'a man of his times' and downplay his actions even though his usurpation and deposition #of his pre-teen nephews absolutely broke all parameters of politically and personally acceptable behaviour in medieval England #then they try to argue that ACTUALLY the Princes don't matter and we shouldn't spend so much time talking about them #(says the person who spends all their time trying to convince people on the internet that Richard didn't kill them)#then they try to argue that finding out what happened to the Princes shouldn't affect our reading of Richard III and won't change how we #view his reign #even though it absolutely affected how contemporaries viewed him and was what provoked opposition to his rule #like. what is happening here. where is this one-sided beef against a long-dead 12-year-old and 9-year-old coming from?#are you okay?

sometimes I forget that my experience has been. um. not 'your experiences are not universal' vibes but more like 'your experiences are EXTREMELY atypical'

#red said #recent events have reminded me that my life has involved like. a LOT of other people's psychosis #like not in a way where i have been Beset By Terrifying Crazies bc that's not like. a thing.#but a lot of people in my life have had a lot of really severe psychotic episodes #and i FORGET sometimes. that actually that is an Unusual Amount Of Experience With Psychosis for someone who's not #for somebody who has not really personally ever had psychotic episodes (unless severe PTSD flashbacks count)#actually i tell a lie i have maybe had One psychotic episode but because it was very situational and i knew what was happening #i was able to ride it out. because i am literally only psychotic Inside Hospitals and so that's all fine #as long as i LITERALLY NEVER HAVE TO HAVE INPATIENT CARE. Very important to me to never ever ever require surgery i think.#i can handle the amount of psychosis i get from a 1-4 hour stopoff in hospital #as long as i know I'm leaving soon then i can just Cope with the fact that the walls are moving and reality is thin #ANYWAY that's not the point the point is i forget! that most ppl i know have experience of at most a handful of severe psychotic episodes #some people i know have experienced more for sure. especially if the episodes were mostly theirs.#but people really seem to expect me to be more freaked out by their symptoms of psychosis than i am #bc i don't think i really register it as frightening unless they're in actual danger or Currently Aggressing Actually At Me #like i WORRY about them bc it can super suck but it's not SHOCKING or WEIRD #there have definitely been times ive been frightened. one time i woke up in the night and my friend was standing over me with a knife #but also like he was still HIM he was just having a moment. and as soon as i got the knife off him he just came back and broke down.#and we were fine and he was safe and i learnt the valuable lesson that even when people seem like they wanna kill you they probably don't #tbf now I'm thinking about it it's honestly a tossup whether he was there to threaten or because he felt a need to guard us #like to be clear probably don't try and take a knife off someone having a psychotic break. i was 17 and it was 3am and i knew him very well #i probably did not make the smartest call but nobody got hurt is the point #anyway you know there's that kind of psychotic episode and my granny got very violently angry a few times. buuuut you know there's also #been plenty of other times I've been with somebody having an episode and it's been chill as hell.#my ex saw and heard monsters so much that eventually she just got sick of being scared. we used to watch TV with them #i would sometimes have to sit on a bit of sofa that wasn't haunted and we might not be able to watch certain things bc they didn't like it #most of the time she was hallucinating there was absolutely nothing to worry about we just had a few extra variables #honestly of everyone i know who's had psychotic episodes or schizophrenia the amount of times it's been a material risk #is like. low single figures? maybe low double if you include self harm but idk what the cause and effect is there.#idk why you would need to be frightened like 99.99% of the time it truly is usually just Oh No That Seems Distressing For You I'm Sorry

These fanon Tim Drake takes/fanfictions that paint him as the ultimate victim during the Morrrison era were always annoying, but if you're looking for a character to write fix it fanfictions about because they got abandoned by their family when they went through a lot of losses and lost themselves in the process, ran away from everything and only had the batfamily try to bring them back home ages after they had already run away and only after first blaming the kid and then not prioritizing bringing that kid back, then Damian from 2018 to 2020 is right there?

Where are my 1000+ fanfictions about that?

#damian wayne #seriously #nobody in the batfamily gave a fuck when Damian stopped living with Bruce to be with his Teen Titans team #Damian losing Dick then Jon and then Alfred got retconned in as his reasons to turn dark only at the end of the book #when DC finally realized that maybe turning Damian into their next big bad/baby Hitler is freaking stupid #after city of bane they tried to blame Alfred's death on Damian even though he had just been following orders #Alfred had also been absolutely not been helpful during their last conversation cob and compared him to Ra's #All these things people project onto Tim for some reason actually happened to Damian and I don't see tons of fanfictions about that #on top of that the only character that ever apologized for letting him down was Bruce but in ways that pretty much still blamed Damian #I'm sorry you felt the need to save Alfred alone #you asshole ordered him to become a hostage and told him Alfred had gotten away. Damian didn't try to save Alfred alone.#I never blamed you for Alfred's death. Yes you did you refused to comfort him when he ran away crying from the wake #and a hallucination of Alfred confirmed you held him failing to stop Bane from killing Alfred against him #like what the hell #all the mistreatment people think Tim went through happened to Damian yet nobody cares

The gods won't make the same mistake twice

There's one hero Percy Jackson is similar to, someone the gods broke, and they regretted it

Someone kind, that they made ruthless

Someone loving, that they made brutal:

Odysseus

#sorry I'm half asleep #does this make sense #i barely know pj tbh #but I've been listening to the EPIC soundtrack #and like #they've both been changed by their experiences with gods #made less naïve #but still remained true to themselves and their loyalty to love #even when they couldn't fully remember #like their goals to return never changed #and idk #it feels like ironic symbolism that the fates would enjoy #that the reincarnated version of someone who Poseidon killed the men of #is his favorite son #that the only man Athena saw as somewhat of a friend and equal in intellect #is the son of her enemy #that the man Zeus forced to kill a child #is the same one that brings back his lightning bolt and scolds him?? (idk if this happens) about being a good father #like Odysseus would've #but he was born in a more god fearing time #oh yeah percy also saves Zeus's kids #pjo series #pjo hoo toa #idk i didn't read the books sorry #epic the musical

i'm thinking about the guards outside aventurine's room in the reverie. stuck working a boring security job on THE planet of festivities, stationed outside a room in boring reality where someone's literally just sleeping all day. absolutely jackshit to do.

but there's no way aventurine would trust just any old grunt to guard him when he's that vulnerable; they had to have been hand-picked, personally vetted over years of working for him. it's no small feat to become someone aventurine trusts not to stab him in the back, even with the built-in insurance that if you shank your boss, he can't sign your paychecks anymore.

so they were familiar enough with him to know how he works, i.e., pulling off insane stunts and doing it solo. i have to think they're the kind of people who would've wanted to join him - not because they're sore about not getting to see the dream, but because they want to guard him IN the dream. you have a whole team of us, boss! put us to work!

and he keeps insisting no, he has to do it alone. it's too risky.

what could notorious gambler aventurine possibly find "too risky?" it's not that he thinks they'll slow him down or get in his way; it's not that he just prefers working alone or hates relying on others. that's what other people, in other departments, might think.

but these guys know: he does these missions solo because he doesn't want to risk their lives - that's the unacceptable risk to him.

(they also know not to ever say so aloud, because said notorious gambler has a reputation to maintain, and "worries about his employees' wellbeing" does not fit the image.)

#alright it's finished percolating #i realize the conclusion isn't like. saying anything new. but he has to have SOME employees he can trust (inasmuch as he trusts anyone)#and i want to know what they're like. aventurine's top men. the rare few in the company who don't hate his guts #idt he's the kind of boss u could mouth off to but could they say “director this plan sounds nuts you really don't have to go it alone”#obvs he'd never take that particular advice lol but i like to think he appreciates the candor of a (select) few over a bunch of yes-men #u gotta have a henchman or two who's not just a simp. it's like trace minerals in ur diet. zinc and savvy henchmen #hsr #hsr meta #aventurine #also i bet these guys felt like absolute SHIT when they found out what happened to him in the dream wrt nihility & sunday #like what do u MEAN u didn't know u wouldn't die. what do u mean u got branded with a harmony timebomb that would just up and kill u

You guys know on how InuYasha, the few times he talks about it, badmouths his father and says he doesn't care to avenge his death when he battles Ryukoltsei?

I wonder if InuYasha starts to regret his mindset towards his father once he himself becomes a father. Or at the very least, he starts to understand his father better. Especially if you want to go by the Movie 2 canon where part of Toga's death was from protecting InuYasha and his mom.

Just makes me wonder if InuYasha looks at Moroha or any of his other children and has the thought that it'd break his heart if any of his kids felt resentment towards him like he felt for his own father, especially when everything he ever does is to protect them. And I wonder if it makes InuYasha start to look at his father's memory differently, now that he's a parent himself and would do anything and everything to protect his kids, even if it meant dying and leaving them without a father.

Not that he'd go and try to get himself killed, as he wants to actually be alive so they don't have to grow up like he did, but you know he'd sacrifice himself if it meant his children could live, just like his father did for him (according to movie 2).

I don't know, I just wonder if InuYasha starts to ever regret the way he looked at his father's memory back when he was a teen once he becomes a father to Moroha and starts to understand his father's actions as a parent now that he himself is a parent. Ya know what I mean?

#not that Inuyasha will ever have to worry about missing his daughter's life because nothing bad ever happens to break any of them apart #and the same for any other potential children he and Kagome has #its just a hypothetical #Yashahime? i don't know her #all I know is Teenage InuYasha vs. Papayasha #and how differently the 2 must have thought on the same topics #like their father. and how InuYasha felt so bitter or angry at his dad for leaving him in the name of protecting him #while simultaneously secretly yearning and missing the opportunity to know him #versus Papayasha who looks at Moroha & any other potential kids with the overwhelming understanding that they are his whole world #and he'd do anything to protect them. including laying down his life if it came down to it #& how he realizes that his father felt the same way for him & in that way Inu starts to understand his father in ways he didn't before #but he also understands how hard it is to survive without a parent esp. as a hanyou & refuses to let himself get killed battle-#-leaving Moroha and his other kids at the mercy of struggling in the world without his protection #so he resolves himself that. while he is willing to die for his kids. he must work even harder to STAY ALIVE for them above all else #so that they never have to grow up without him and wonder if he even cared or why he wasn't with them #the way he did with his own father #inuyasha #inukag #moroha #moroha higurashi #inukag child #inukag baby #inukag family #inu no taisho #inuyasha family #inuyasha movie 2 #inuyasha headcanons #inuyasha theory #post canon

Assassins AU Prompt

Bruce didn't know how it happened, but his children were all sent to kill him. He had no clue how he convinced them not to.

Dick had been a new Talon sent out on his second mission. Brucie Wayne should have been an easy target. Bruce had noticed him though. Had decided to try to help the child. It shouldn't have worked, but it did.

Jason had been part of a new murder cult pretending to be a home for wayward orphans. Someone had paid them to send a couple of the child assassins to a fundraiser for Gotham's orphanages and kill 3 of the most well-known philanthropists attending. Which of course included Bruce. Jason had somehow snuck a tire iron into the event. It was a bit funny. It also helped his Brucie persona when Jason let him adopt him.

Tim was used by his parents for years as a way of getting rid of competitors. It was only natural that they'd eventually send him to get rid of the CEO of Wayne Enterprise. Tim's plan was perfect and would have worked if he'd not gotten cold feet at the last minute, destroying the slow acting poison (that wouldn't have had noticable side effects until it was too late) in front of Bruce and confessing the plot then and there.

Cass was sent by David Cain to kill Batman, which was both a nice change of pace and same-old same-old. Cass would have succeeded if she wasn't so tired of killing people. It also helped that Batman (and Batgirl) genuinely seemed to want to help her. Was concerned for her.

Damian was sent by Talia to kill his father so he could become the true heir of the Bat and the League of Shadows with the stipulation that if he was unable to do so within a week, to not return at all. Damian failed. That's fine though, eventually he found he was happier with his Father than he'd been with the League.

Duke's gang had almost taken things too far when they decided they needed to take things into their own hands and get rid of the corrupt elite of Gotham.

#batman prompt #dc batman #batman #bruce wayne #dick grayson #nightwing #jason todd #red hood #tim drake #red robin #cassandra cain #black bat #batgirl #dc orphan #damian al ghul #damian wayne #dc robin #duke thomas #dc signal #batfam #this could be much funnier if bruce never became batman #just bruce being a normal dude (as normal as a billionaire can get) whose kids have attempted to murder :)#“assassin” because an assassination is politically or monetarily motivated murder of a prominent person #tim's blurb was the hardest to come up with because i couldn't decide if i wanted his parent or joker to be the ones pulling his strings #duke's was a shot in the dark because i don't know enough about him to come up with a more interesting reason for him to try n assassinate #thought cass being the only one to go after batman would be more interesting #also cass and tim coming the closest to killing B #while jason's like “i hit him in the stomach with a tire iron and bolted”#also wanted to make talia's reason to send damian to kill b a bit more up in the air but that didn't happen #whether it's her true reason or not is up to ya'll

honestly Noragami deserves some kind of an award for being the most intense downward spiral of "it can't get any worse than THIS, right???" I've ever read. I haven't known peace since Kazuma did that stupid spell on Yukine and it's only gone downwards from there

#we're on the FINAL CHAPTER. like even if it is twice the length of an usual chapter it is still the LAST ONE.#and THINGS HAVE NEVER BEEN FRIGGIN WORSE.#isn't the final chapter supposed to WIND THINGS DOWN and DEAL THE FINAL BLOW TO THE VILLAIN and then be DEDICATED TO WHERE ARE THEY NOW #so WHY are we doing THIS then.#noragami liveblog #noragami spoilers #like 10000 times over the past 9 years i've made the ''adachitoka when i said i wanted X to happen i didn't mean it like THIS'' joke and it #just keeps. happening again. yatori meets again after half a decade and it's only so that she can be MURDERED IN FRONT OF HIM #WHILE HE IS SCREAMING AND BLAMING HIMSELF AND THINKING ABOUT SAKURA AND HOW HE GOT HER KILLED TOO #YUKINE WATCHED IT HAPPEN BUT COULD ONLY BARK IN PAIN #and not only that. the GODS ARE KILLING PEOPLE THE SHINKI ARE STINGING THEIR MASTERS LEFT AND RIGHT #I HATE THIS. THIS IS SO EVIL. I AM SO SAD.#anyway hiyori better be fake dead. this better not be happening. idc if her return is unrealistic i dont CARE she CANNOT DIE

"it's always hating on rhaegar for rhaenys and aegon's deaths never tywin" because rhaegar was their father and had a responsibility towards them that tywin did not, stay in school

#personal #anti rhaegar targaryen #fandom critical #like one it's because tywin's blame is very uncontentious #it's just everyone and their mother going 'yeah he ordered it' and agreeing that he sucks for it #i have my thoughts on tywin's culpability (mostly that i do believe he didn't mention elia if only cuz she never crossed his mind)#(as he's a raging misogynist and i do believe that he was annoyed that lorch and clegane were as brutal with children)#(since it's not the best pr)#but it never extends to a lack of culpability on tywin's part #meanwhile rhaegar stans (why does he have them? who knows couldn't be me i'm normal) wanna pretend like this isn't his fault #when it IS #he was elia's HUSBAND! he was rhaenys and aegon's FATHER! it is his JOB to keep them safe during a war HE STARTED!#rhaegar had a responsibility to do whatever possible to ensure the safety of the children he chose to bring into the world and their mother #instead of going off to fuck a girl the same age as most high school freshmen!#rhaegar chose to abandon his family to the care of his violently crazy and racist father #who he knew was violently crazy and racist #unless he was dumb as rocks he was not unaware that no matter what this was not going to end well for elia and rhaenys and aegon #but he did it anyway and that does make him culpable for what happened to them #he had a responsibility to all of them ESPECIALLY his toddler and fucking baby and he FAILED that responsibility #and it is his fault that they were murdered #that is on him #it is not solely on him it is also on aerys for not letting them leave the city even once the cause was doomed #and it's on tywin for ordering their deaths and on lorch and clegance for doing the killings #but it is ALSO on rhaegar not just for creating that situation but abdicating his duties to his family to be a fuckass predator #this is like sixth grade reasoning honestly #i think some of you are just incredibly stupid

Yeah this is about right (as always my thoughts are in the tags so there's actually kei content there lmao)

#Hester I adore you they could never make me hate you. Seriously the first chapter in 6 (bad candy) is like my favourite opener #Kei they could NEVER EVER make me hate you. did nothing wrong ever. rhian when I CATCH you #its so funny how my two favourite characters just like. hate each other. like japeth literally kills him #sad cause they're so SIMILAR. theyre both victims of Dog Metaphor its so sad that kei does Not like japeth in the slightest #personally if they had a good long discussion about their emotions at like 3am they could've probably stopped TCY from happening #but alas. Aric. somehow its all his fault again. why do I have an aricposting tag but not a keiposting one.#Hester easily has the best overall characterisation arc I love love love the way soman writes her #I remember when I read 6 for the first time #before japeth insanity happened #I used to anticipate her chapters over like everyone else's. Hester the 1 lesbian in the series you are deeply loved #I could write whole essays about japeth and kei's characterisation it is so sad that soman forgets kei exists #like he's meant to be rhian's eagle. that's his job. that's what he's spent a Long Time anticipating becoming #but rhian refuses to acknowledge it. instead he calls Japeth his eagle in book 4's ending #He eventually falls in love with Sophie #he only ever cares about the crown #how he GETS to the crown #and bringing his mother back. he lies more than japeth #and never once does he get to be the eagle. There's only three spaces - lion/eagle/snake - and he doesn't get to be any of them #dont even get me started on how he dies. surrounded by white swans. being purely good #god rhian II try not to fuck EVERYTHING over challenge. and also Aric. its all arics fault as well #keiposting #japethposting #actually not really jposting. didn't do it that much #sge #tsfgae #school for good and evil #the school for good and evil #sfgae #the school of good and evil #as much as I adore Hester I dont think I will talk about her much in detail ever so no hesterposting yet

SUPREMELY frustrating that we found something actually really cool and intriguing and plot relevant in tonight's session but I'm still so constantly preoccupied with whether the DM is going to 100% kill us with sheer poor game design that I barely have enough brainspace left over to even enjoy it

#the first half of the session was a random-off-a-rolltable encounter that had nothing to do with anything and gave us literally nothing #and used up all our resources and took a REALLY long time because it was-- you guessed it! another deadly encounter for some reason!!#that's 100% of the encounters we've had so far!#and EXPLICITLY not related to what we were trying to investigate AND creatures that drop neither loot NOR BODIES #(two wil o the wisps and a water wierd)#we did a lot better in this encounter but it WAS deadly going off CR #and the point is now we've done just a short rest and THEN found the Plot Thing-- which our bard used up a bunch of resources to access #SO NOW IT'S LIKE. OKAY LOOK. I WANNA PLAY IN THIS SPACE BUT YOU KEEP TRYING TO KILL US WITH THINGS THAT AREN'T EVEN IMPORTANT #ARE YOU ABOUT TO WHOOPSIE-DOODLE US INTO A TPK ON ACCIDENT HERE???#like... it FEELS dangerous and A Bad Idea to engage with in a way that paradoxically SHOULD mean it's safer in a game like this #like-- okay if this was ACTUALLY as dangerous as it feels we wouldn't BE here on session six. does that make sense?#like when justin had us encounter a lich at level two in session three and I was immediately like OH okay he must have a plan here.#clearly some Scripted Plot is going to happen because there's no other reason he would put us up against a lich three sessions in. you know?#we started dying immediately and I was not afraid at all as a player because I trust justin wouldn't do that for no reason #or be so stupid to have that happen accidentally #THIS CAMPAIGN HOWEVER.... I DON'T TRUST LIKE THAT!!!#ARE WE GONNA FOR REAL PERMADIE BECAUSE YOU WASTED ALL OF OUR RESOURCES ON A RANDOM ENCOUNTER FIRST AND YOU DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT #ARE WE GONNA FOR REAL PERMADIE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T REALIZE WE COULD USE THE ITEM YOU GAVE US TO OPEN THIS DOOR WITH A 5TH LEVEL SPELL #I WANNA PLAY IN THE SPACE BUT IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THERE'S ROOM FOR RISKTAKING WHERE THE BAD OUTCOMES WOULDN'T BE UNFUN CATASTROPHIC #AAAAUUUUGHHH #[shaking him violently] what do you mean that random encounter was a deadly encounter again what do you MEEEAAN #'oh huh this fight's taking longer than I thought' THEIR AC IS 19 AND THEY'RE RESISTANT TO NONMAGIC DAMAGE??#THE WATER WIERD KEEPS DISAPPEARING BACK INTO THE POND WHERE IT'S INVISIBLE??? MY BROTHER IN CHRIST HOW DID YOU EXPECT US TO DO IT FAST #hhhhhHHHH!!!!#I SHOULD BE THINKING AND TALKING ABOUT HOW COOL THE SECOND HALF OF THE SESSION GENUINELY WAS BUT I'M TOO STRESSED TO HAVE FUN #cannot stress enough that I'm in a million campaigns and I never have this problem with other DMs or with Highly Dangerous DnD Situations #melliwyk's party are in mortal peril constantly and it's... reaching a point where it's tiresome for how badly it's wearing on the PCs #but it rarely feels unfun stressful as a player playing a game #I never feel like the DM is about to accidentally end the whole campaign by bumblefucking us into a TPK at random #you know? it's different. this just feels unmanageable

okay, i'm not saying that feeding barton would just straight up diffuse barton's need for being a murderous gremlin because that is just so deeply ingrained him in now that it's not even funny, but i'm also not saying if you — say — placed a quesadilla in front of barton right before he was about to do about something horrible to someone... that there couldn't be at least a bit of a chance he would think about eating that instead

#OF MONSTERS AND MEN: musings.#ooc post.#SKSKS no because barton IS the type of terrible character to possibly kill people just bc he's hangry and doesn't realize it #but OFC... this would unfortunately maybe happen like once or twice over the years bc barton CAN be affected by how he's feeling-#physically when he uhhh. Decides whether or not to kill someone as horrible as that sounds #but most of the time it's due to how unhinged he is and/or because he is a sadist and also delusional which is... yeah YIKES #though i feel like even if Barton had the want to change thing's for himself / turn over a new leaf so-to-speak...#he would REALLY have to address that delusional part because that is not a joke OFC though i know the rest of this post is pretty unserious #barton is just. yeahhh basically what i'm trying to say is it would take a LOT more than just food to convince him to not kill people on a-#permanent basis though i know that y'all may already know that ahahhh. but yeah I'm just being a bit sillay here and talkin' about how-#barton lovesss food so like. you never know perhaps it could happen if he didn't hate this person enough but IDK JSJSJ
