#Typhon DeLeon

[empyreansentinel]

and we're back. borderlands text posts part five!

[comma-tose]

Borderlands really has a common theme of dad's doing something insanely stupid that they believe is for the benefit of their children, only for it to really screw up their kids lives.

Sure it doesn't have it in EVERY game but it's common enough for it to be a pattern.

You got the obvious one of Jack imprisoning Angel because she can't control her powers, with him believing it's the right thing to do while it very obviously isn't (especially once he started y'know using her as a battery), leading to her betraying him and sacrificing herself to help stop him.

Then you got the Calypso twins being kept on an isolated planet by Typhon DeLeon, because he believed it was the only way to keep them safe despite them feeling like they were being imprisoned, leading them to go full cult leader and go try to take what they believed was "rightfully theirs", which ultimately lead to their deaths.

And then you have Felix betraying Fiona and Sasha, stealing the ten million dollars from them, believing that it would get Hyperion and Vallory to lose interest in the girls and go after him instead, which ultimately lead to them being chased across Pandora by bounty hunters and putting them in life threatening danger.

Also all three of them die (Felix's death being dependent on the players choice), with their deaths at the very least being indirectly caused by their daughter, as an act of revenge for their mistreatment. Angel helping the Crimson Raiders leading to Jack's death, Tyreen killing Typhon with her powers, and Fiona being able to shoot Felix and let him explode along with the money.

...So what I'm saying is maybe it's time for some of the fathers in borderlands to get some mandatory parenting classes.

Sometimes I am reminded there's unironic Typhon DeLeon enjoyers in this fanbase. Yes the story tries to portray him heroically but yknow theres . Things below that surface level

Finished BL3...

Though there are MANY things I dislike about the story as a whole... I don't entirely hate the way they took it. I still think the Calypso twins and Typhon were wasted potential (things could have been a lot better written), and I also think that Ava was a victim of really poor writing as a whole (y'all know my opinions on that already), and my issues with Aurelia and Maya, but God damn did I like it more than I remembered.

Also the fucking ending credits got me. Tannis looking for Lilith (obvious hint to BL4 plot), Ava taking after Maya, Vaughn and Rhys, the CHILDREN OF THE FIREHAWK (hoping this doesn't become canon or anything I just think it's funny and a nice nod to the BL2 quest)

I have a lot of thoughts right now and not a whole lot of ways to coherently convey them.

Also thought the little bit of Tyreen's VA singing a jazz rendition of claptrap's "stealth time" dialogue was hilarious and adorable

typhon and jack did the exact same thing: they were so terrified of losing their kids because of their lovers death that they isolated them, creating a strained and neglectful relationship. it was not the intention, but it happened anyways

and yet each had a different outcome: angel is seen as a hero, tyreen and troy as villains. and surprisingly it could be because angel was alone but ty and troy werent. ty and troy fed off of each others desires and dreams as well as their dads stories. they lacked so little control and, well, there was no villain, so why not become it

angel, though, was alone but still maintained some control. she had access to hyperion satellites and could communicate with others, since. yknow. she talks to the vault hunter in b2. her dad was the villain, and so she was the hero

idk its just. interesting to me. you could say its lazy that these two storylines are similar but it’s so neat to see the different outcomes of such a similar situation

Crack theory

The Angel Jakobs theory but her mother was conceived during a three way between the Jakobs and Typhon, so she's a DeLeon.

Typhon DeLeon is good at two things: Having sex and being a terrible father

The short kings! Right bracket third seed.

for the record, I just know that if typhon was hot, you would not be talking this much shit about him.

Chapter 18 of vaulted is now up

Featuring wacky and concerning dreams, extreme foreshadowing and Bl1 Atlas doing their best to ruin someone's day, this is chapter 18 of my BL1 story which follows 5 vault hunters, the 4 canonical VHs and my original character through the events of borderlands 1 with some plot twists and surprise appearances along the way

My dumb brain saw that as live action mouthpiece means Live action COV which means Live action Calypso Twins and then finally Live Action Typhon DeLeon played by Danny DeVito.

the trailer for borderlands (movie) has shaken borderlands (game) in front of my face, much like keys shaken in front of the soft face of an infant, and i rise from the depths my job at my work to give excellent takes such as: why is mouthpiece there

fuck it time to post some t*phon slander

[vaulthunterlands]

As much as I dislike Typhon DeLeon as a character, the "Pandoran Handshake" joke gets me every time without fail

[tavi-calypso]

I’m not dissing your reblog here, some FANTASTIC points! But I do personally feel like typhon really is a big part of the blame, you keep your children essentially trapped on this planet (that’s supposedly hidden from any other planet mind you) like you said that’s in no way shape or form a good place to raise them . And then filling their heads with these stories of vaults with tremendous power inside of them. (not calling him out on that, I mean. What else do you do to keep your children entertained on fucking neckrotafeyo.) I’m not saying that Typhon would’ve known what would’ve happened, (no one would’ve) but you keep them trapped on this planet, tell them stories of tremendous power, not telling them anything about how to navigate the world, (because even if they didn’t steal his ship they would’ve left eventually) said children escape, and like I said, have no idea how to navigate this world that’s 1000x bigger than anything they’ve experienced up to that point. Yeah, I kind of blame Typhon.

This isn’t a jab at your reblog, more so Typhon DeLeon. Lmao.

Just a Little bit..

I haven't drawn The Oracle in awhile so here's them in the process of turning a malevolent soul (Typhon DeLeon) into a Husk

As soon as Typhon appeared in The Valley, The Oracle took no time and tracked him down. Typhon pleaded saying he didn't do anything awful and that he was a good guy, a well respected man, loves his wife and would never hurt a fly.

The Oracle, who is very well aware of his actions and how he really treated his late wife and his children and the fact that he is nothing but a lying con man, wasn't swayed............
