#I’m not emotionally ready for this

[seetheseacat]

I kid you not I started to think about starting Yakuza Kiwami and started salivating. I am trenched, quivering, shivering in me timbers. a) because I’m excited for the story but also (and more importantly) b) Majima. Dear lord Majima. Babygirl. Light of my life. I am also very upset because I can’t play him anymore please I need more of him in my brain

aaaahhhhhHHHHHHHHH

Excuse just Screaming Screaming Screaming

Oh and the EMOTION on each of them is so beautiful. Sakura worried and guarded, and YET 

And YET this is what she wanted. It’s him! She found him! This is the moment she organised to be present for. 

Syaoran walking forward with his eyes entirely covered, invisible to us, as if walking by clockwork, no emotion head empty. 

Lava Lamp has his READY Face on, but it’s not hatred or anger on his face, more a determination, or a defensiveness. He knew this was coming and his timing was SO good. He got here precisely on time and he’s ready for it. 

And Watanuki both shocked and potentially being pushed away by some invisible wind, as if the dream itself is pulling him away from this moment. Which is probably a good thing because Watanuki is Not Prepared for the level of violence that happens in this manga. And from Sakura’s reaction earlier she really can’t have him here, because she knows how this confrontation goes and she needs it to go a certain way.

Or alternatively she’s ALSO seen what happens if Watanuki is here for this and it’s NOT GOOD

Obi-Wan so politely asking Qui-Gon’s force ghost for help when he realizes Anakin is Darth Vader, meanwhile I’d be banging a damn gong like Mushu “Rise and shine, asshole! You told me to take this kid and now the galaxy’s imploding. COME FIX IT!”

Back at it again with another theory: What if Lucanis’ betrayal wasn’t a betrayal at all?

(obviously, spoilers below the cut)

During The Wigmaker Job, we have some dialogue between Illario and Lucanis about their position within both the Crows and the Dellamorte family. Illario wants Caterina to step down so he can take the coveted First Talon spot. Lucanis reassures him that his time is coming, to which Illario makes a snide comment about whether his cousin would ever go against their grandmother’s wishes. When they continue the conversation after the job, Illario states that Lucanis is the potential heir, that he’s her favorite, and that he’s unlikely to say no to her. Lucanis doesn’t argue, only insists that he doesn’t want to be First Talon, and that he hopes she’ll see reason before that. It’s mentioned again in Eight Little Talons - Caterina favors Lucanis. It’s well-known enough among the Crows that Viago and Teia discuss it in front of her (not on purpose, but she doesn’t deny it). He’s her prodigy through and through.

In the opening scene for the Lucanis quest in Veilguard, Caterina is poised, as you’d expect of the First Talon. She’s certain that the body they buried wasn’t her grandson, that it had been altered with blood magic. She doesn’t pose it as a theory, though: she poses it as a fact. It could, of course, merely be her confidence, but there’s another very unusual aspect to the scene – everyone else discusses how Lucanis was clearly betrayed, that someone must have sold him out in order for the Venatori to capture him. Caterina is the only one in that room who never speaks on it. She doesn’t ask for justice, doesn’t mention vengeance, never acknowledges that her grandson was sold out by someone he trusted – perhaps because he wasn’t. 

What if, when Caterina comes to him with a plan, with an impossible request, he’s still her favorite prodigal grandchild, and he still does whatever she asks? She’s had him tortured before as a child, has tortured and starved and beaten him herself before, because it makes him stronger and more resistant to it in the future. He says in The Wigmaker Job that he used to hate her for it, but now he understands. He justifies it. All Crows justify it, because they have to - if they don’t, then the cruelty wasn’t for survival’s sake, and their suffering meant nothing. Perhaps he doesn’t even question it. When Caterina tells him that she has a job for him, he takes it. 

What if the contract has a caveat? Sure, Calivan must die by his hand by the end of it, a little treat for a job well done, but what if his primary mission is reconnaissance, is discovery? The Venatori are using blood magic to torture and corrupt prisoners. It would behoove the Crows to find out what it entails and how to resist it, before it’s turned back on them. It would have to be someone so deeply, unabashedly loyal to her that when she asked them to infiltrate a Venatori prison, expecting torture at best, their own death at worst, they’d take the job anyway, no questions asked - someone Caterina can trust, certainly, but also someone who has never once said no to her.

And Lucanis has always been a loyal grandson.
