#Nathan is a Butcher

[palmettoshenanigans]

I'm not even gonna write an essay on this one, I'm tired and it's rapidly approaching the witching hour so imma just-

Neil is constantly shadow boxing with his fear of being Just Like My Father NOT because he fears that Wesninski Blood but because he fears the fragility of choice. Everything he knows how to do, all of his skills, combined with his natural disposition and temperament really do put him on par with his father - potentially even worse than his father if you think Nathan lacks Neil's ability to meticulously execute a long con.

Ruthless. Manipulative. Intelligent. Sneaky n Stealthy. Fast. Quick learner. Violent. Cut throat. Selective empathy. Observant. Skilled with weapons. Crime prodigy. Improv. Etc etc etc - Nathaniel truly is Nathan's son when you look at Capacity. Neil had very good reason to fear that - he really is a Wesninski in more than just name.

He just chooses to be kind. Chooses to care. Chooses Exy and friends and family and Andrew and Love.

But choices are both iron clad foundations and flimsy whisps in the wind

Neil isn't different from his father because of difference in Capacity. Neil is different from his father because of difference in Choices. And "Is that enough?" is such a scary question when it suddenly involves people he dared to care about.

the fact that kevin day also witnessed a man being chopped up in the tower at evermore after neil’s audition is mad, and it’s something that is very much not addressed ever. like, maybe part of kevin was so accepting of how things were in the nest because he knew that this is the second branch, and if he were to leave, he’d become the main branch’s problem because he knows too much, and the main branch casually chops men up as a warning to literal children. and then he’s still called a coward for leaving ?? but also a coward for wanting to go back to make the inevitable less painful for him ??? and that’s not even considering what riko and tetusji did to him specifically, before even jean arrived at the nest. and his mother’s death would’ve been quite recent at that point. just insane.

Nathan: I have finally brought you here, now we'll play the most dangerous game that exists, junior

Neil, nodding resignedly: knife monopoly

Nathan:

Nathan: well I was actually going to hunt you for sport but now I'm curious

@korakos mentioned Chace Crawford as Neil Josten, so I looked up his IMDb and in 2006 he was in a movie called Long Lost Son (found here Long Lost Son - Full Movie | Thriller | Great! Action Movies) or on plextv in other countries also for free.

The story is very Neil Josten coded as I hope my clips will show and I think everyone should watch it.

horribly cursed fact of the day:

the description of nathan wesninski in baltimore in the king's men is the ONLY APPEARANCE OF THE WORD "BAREFOOT" IN ALL FOUR AFTG BOOKS

i think about it way too much. nora. nora. WHY is nathan barefoot. WHY.

like honestly it says a lot about him. he walked into his cellar no socks no shoes rawdogging the concrete

brother died with dust in between his toesies. i bet the soles of his feet were dirty as hell.

like he couldn't have put on some slippers? a pair of socks? some flip flops even. nah he went down there to kill his son with his Dogs Out

JUST SILLY THOUGHTS

Nathan is called The Butcher of Baltimore, SO imagine if Mary was (a psycho killer) as crazy as him and she would be called Bloody Mary. They would make a great couple (i'm dead)

the concept of nathaniel wesninski as a whole is so fucking interesting. i’m saying this because i’ve been reading raven neil fics and neil as nathaniel fics because they’re just too damn good.

i’m tempted but anyway

i need to do a character study fic on neil and nathaniel soon. i’m going insane because it amazes me how it’s the same person but so drastically fucking different depending on the identity and name AUGH I CANT TAKE IT

gods i love nora and all the ao3 authors. truly wonderful people writing such a complex character

i could go mad trying to piece together my thoughts on how crucial it is that Nathan Wesninski's specialty is the Butcher. the images. the symbols. the heritage. the violence. the Modern American Gothic of it all—paired with the Edgar Allan Ravens.

he’s not a strangler. he’s not a stabber. not a poisoner. he doesn’t shoot people. he doesn’t wield a chainsaw.

he’s got a meat cleaver. a fully stocked arsenal knives to cut and skin people and animals alike. his specialty requires time, patience, precision, but remains deadly and violent af nonetheless. it’s chilling.

think of the buckets of blood. the bits and pieces. the sounds. the mess. the smell. the stickiness.

the world is his livestock; Mary his prize cattle; Nathaniel his legacy that’ll only escape the slaughter if he butchers others first, if he learns and wins the pig show.
