[duckysprouts]

dc injustice is messed up because they write such refreshing yet disgustingly awful takes on every single relationship and person. like how do u misunderstand the core of every character?? can only be consumed when removed from the context of all canon

anyway take 2 people make em obsessed yada yada hand in unlovable hand or whatever

I have finally finished 2.4 and oh my GOD watching Dan Heng be so protective of his friends nearly killed me, MY HEART.

And yes, the cutscene where he pushes the trailblazer out of the way and even cushions their fall with his own body, but I mean even before that! When he was already trying to protect them and March 7th from Feixiao and Lingsha!!

Because if you watch the dango trio throughout the main quest, you'll notice that they often position themselves in the same way, which is a detail that makes me super happy that Hoyo thought to include- when the three of them aren't evenly spaced, March 7th and the trailblazer tend to gravitate towards each other and stand very close together, frequently side-by-side. And by comparison, Dan Heng usually stands slightly away, and often even slightly behind them, where he can pull on their leashes to wrangle them keep an eye on them.

This is probably a habit learned through experience, since March 7th said during Belobog she is the "queen of unannounced disappearances" fjdksajfkldjsak

And of course at least a little bit of it is just done for like, aesthetic purposes. It's a video game. Things have to look nice for the player. The trailblazer and Dan Heng are the same height, March 7th is a bit shorter, and Yanqing is even smaller. It makes sense to have the trailblazer and Dan Heng stand on the ends, with March 7th and Yanqing in the middle, it just looks nicer and more balanced that way. But still! Even when they're accommodating for Yanqing in this quest, they still all arrange themselves the same way, almost every time!

But this changes after Dan Heng and Yanqing become suspicious of the visitors from the Yaoqing.

The dango trio still stand around relaxed and in their usual manner when they go to the artisanship delve and meet Skott,

but Dan Heng takes notice of Lingsha when she arrives, and he and Yanqing mentioned her specifically when discussing their worries.

Yanqing worrying so much about Jing Yuan got me right in the heart, he's such a good boy WEH

And when the four of them go out to the alchemy delve to meet Lingsha for tea, the pattern breaks. Suddenly Dan Heng is standing right up front, and even walks in and enters the scene before March 7th and the trailblazer to get to Lingsha before them. He stays a step in front of them the whole time, too.

And then when Dan Heng and the trailblazer have to go be interrogated by Feixiao! The same deal! Dan Heng walks in ahead of them and stays in front of them! Noticeably so! Enough that even Feixiao takes note and voices it!

Dan Heng is so so fiercely protective of his companions, and I love it, I adore hyper vigilance in the wake of trauma like this, I'm so excited to see what else he does in 2.5, I hope we either get to see him get fucked up or the trailblazer gets fucked up in his place, I wanna see them run through the meat grinder!!!

"But maybe I can fix him."

- me, referring to an unpublished paper that has haunted my lab for 8 years and no one else wants to touch.

Narrator: She did not, in fact, fix the paper. Instead they both left eachother much worse than they found eachother.

Hear me out. Audie and Sebastian do a tickle game where the lee has to not laugh for as long as possible while the ler gets them however they want.

games usually end in a mutual loss between them. the cuteness aggression always wins in the end.

This isn't me trying to ""gatekeep"" bc it would be immensely silly to even aspire to gatekeep the most popular song the mountain goats have ever released BUT I do mildly judge people who water down the potency of No Children by using it for characters who basically like each other. That song is for toxicity and codependency and obsession and divorce!!! "hand in unlovable hand" is not for your sweet redemptive "broken people finding love together<3" ship it is about people who drive everyone else away because they are unable to stop destroying themselves together. And if you don't have any ships that fit this description then that's a skill issue. Real divorceheads get it.

[thermodynamic-comedian]

hey man, just so you know, in every single alternate universe, we get divorced. yeah, no, the fans aren't even trying to stop it anymore. i think they're enjoying it. oh we actually don't get divorced in this one- oh. nevermind. it's because i died in this one.

One thing I think people forget is that sans probably wouldn’t talk about missing his home and never being able to go back and giving up unless he absolutely felt he had to

with frisk he’s pretty sure that’s the time traveler that could very well end the entire world. He’s trying to reason with em as a someone he’s hoping could be a friend at that point because he’d really rather not have that happen

In geno is IS the end of the world and he’s hoping you’ll realize this is stupid and cruel and reset. It’s not like he’d have this conversation on a random Tuesday with papyrus

yeah agreed, sans goes out of his way to not talk to/with papyrus about their life before the underground. remember the newsletter q&a? (this is more a theory, but judging from their behavior i personally think papyrus is an amnesiac/sans thinks he is, and he's trying to spare him the grief of remembering).

his memories and mementos are stored behind his house for a reason, he's had his realization that he'll never go back already: there's no sense in reopening that wound again if he has an option to avoid the topic.

Jontim animatic to No Children by the Mountain Goats

[i-hear-a-sound]

“Cut back to the bathroom. Adam looks around him, not sure what to do, panicking. Lawrence can’t be dead, he can’t be alone in here. He can’t handle this alone. He needs his calm, collected Doctor, no matter how badly Lawrence has treated him.”

[lgbtlunaverse]

The "why can't you leave me alone" line to nmj's head is so insane on multiple levels because the first time you hear it you think. You said that. To the head. Of the man you killed. That you keep. In your special secret bedroom closet. Jin guangyao, what the fuck?

And truly that's already insane enough but then you think about it a bit more and you realize that he's right. First thing Nie Mingjue does when his body is back together is make a beeline toards jin guangyao. In that one extra scene we get the delicious knowledge that Nie mingjue apparently escaped from his grave just to go bother him. Jin guangyao is the only man who can look at the disembodied head he keeps in his secret bedroom closet and has conversations with and go "why are you so obsessed with me?" And be technically correct.

And then the third layer of insanity is after you realize that and wonder. Then why is it there? Cause first you think he's keeping it there as a trophy. And i've seen some people say he's keeping it there for safekeeping so the body doesn't reassemble and while I'm sure that's a factor- and the reason the head is covered in all those talismans- he canonically kept the rest of the pieces so well hidden from each other that even knowing his brother was murdered nie huaisang could only find a single arm in the years he kept looking so clearly jgy knows how to keep the body from reassembling itself even if he's not physically keeping an eye on all of them at all times. So this? This is an acknowledgement.

Oh you wanted to come back for me da-ge? You found it that hard to leave me alone? Fine. You can stay. Just one part of you though.

The true fucking layer of insantity is that Jin Guangyao is keeping nie Mingiue's head there consensually. They both want him there. Nie Mingjue just kinda wishes the rest of his body was also there. Especially his hands. Wrapped around jin guangyao's throat.

Nieyao are killing me (and also each other)
