As someone with dissociative issues, I cannot shut up about how much I love Copia’s dissociation in RHRN.
Just that flat-out refusal to accept the horrible facts of life (in this case Sister dying). His mind trying to manifest the reality he wishes for, and the confusion as he slowly sees what’s actually happening again.
The way how confused he is when he’s suddenly changed into his black robes.
The hazy way he sees reality and his own imagination blending (Sister being tended to by a doctor while he tries to ignore it).
The. Fucking. Balloon. Sequence.
Copia wants away from his problems, so his mind flies him away until he literally crashes back into reality.
The balloon was great way to show it bc I know when my issues start, it does feel like I’m floating, like I’m in a different realm to the rest of the world.
I love it all and how it was done. Tobias Forge, you are a GENIUS.
currently looking at the pieces of evidence from TGAA on the AA wiki and was reminded of the fact that the key Gregson uses to wind up his pocket watch is a little figurine of a policeman
And then I realized. There is someone who canonically crafts little figurines and canonically had a good relationship with Gregson.
I feel like Eyefestation has 100% gone after Sebastian before- grumpy boy snarks at everyone, no exceptions- but since Eyefestation can only really do verbal tickling, Eye does it at the most inconvienient times like right before people go into Seb's shop so he's all twitchy and keyed up while struggling to play it cool

Road trips. Lots of them. The two of you driving around in his shitty old car at night, music blasting. You're not going anywhere in particular, but sometimes he'll take you to a fairly empty 7-Eleven parking lot. Maybe you get high, maybe you don't— it's up to you. Or maybe he'll take you under the old bridge a few miles away to graffiti, tagging your initials or carving them into a tree nearby, who knows?
He's a fucking nerd. He'll take you to music stores, looking through the vinyls, cds, posters, funko pops, merch, etc. Seven times out of ten, he'll start rambling about the band or artist, or drop the most random lore about how he supposedly met them at a garage sale or something like that.
Tags you in stupid shit on TikTok. Two feral stray cats fighting in an alleyway? "@/yourusername us". Silly video of a horse eating hay? "@/yourusername this is what u look like when u eat".
Dates with Toby will usually be away from public places. Either they're at home, in a secluded or abandoned area, or in a dark place, like an aquarium for example. Do you like a certain movie? He'll raid a gas station for snacks, set up a pillow fort, and put on that movie so the two of you can spend time together.
Maybe you like lego (because who doesn't?). He'll steal buy a bunch of sets for the two of you to build in your free time, sitting on the floor and talking about nothing or everything while building the set.
Play fighting is a big thing with him, too. Sure, he can't feel pain, but he loves the adrenaline. Both of you press your hands against the others, pushing until someone eventually falls over. Other small competitive activities aren't uncommon, like thumb wars, or arm wrestling, maybe a bit of staring contests in the mix.
its so sweet how naive Jake is in the beginning of the series. no wonder Marco is so stressed all the time. imagine your life and death in the hands of someone who is genuinely surprised cops would lie
My headcanon design for these two! I love them in Pacific Drive so much; their unique personalities, how they ramble on about the Zone and themselves! They’re just so SILLY!!
Also big probs to the VAs of these two, they absolutely NAILED these guys 🧡💚
