bruce and danny being fuckign nerds together,,,, they are being the BIGGEST nerds. geeks. if you will

these losers are color-coding the most inane bullshit. they are making diagrams for things you've never even thought of. they are having the time of their lives

"what are you two doing?"

Danny, sitting criss-cross on a table, hunched over a spread of papers and a bunch of different jello cups, his back is gonna hurt SO much: color-coding jello

Bruce, sitting in a nearby chair, also criss-cross, scribbling on a graph paper: hm [agreeing]

Alfred, already exasperated and SO fond: may i ask why? and on what parameters?

Danny: we're basing it off which flavors are the most mentally stimulating and for which subjects :}

Alfred, SO fond: ah. i see.

Danny, snapping his head over to Bruce and leaning over: wh- no-- no. Buzz, I told you: lemon-flavored jello stays strictly in the 'smelling salts' category--

Bruce, still writing on the graph paper: mn. no.

Danny, nearly sprawled across his back, faux-outraged: strawberry is NOT good for math-- you fucken HEATHEN--! Give me that pen!

Bruce, did that solely to rile up Danny, now trying not to smile: hnm.

do you think that when rook stumbles out of the fade prison and through the eluvian to safety, there's a moment of everyone standing around in joyous (and probably exhausted) disbelief, where lucanis meets their gaze and recognizes the look of tremulous, hesitant uncertainty in their eyes -- that tentativeness of someone who feels they stand on the threshold of madness and one wrong move can send them over, the terror of something finally breaking apart in your head in a way that can never come back together and be whole again; the helpless is this truly happening? is this real? are you really here? confusion that verges on pleading. (the last time they saw him, he was dead. the last time they lost someone, their mind fractured around it for weeks, months, to spare them the knowledge, and they couldn't tell. until they could, and by then it was all too late. how could you know it's not all happening again? how could you not fear that it might be?)

yeah, lucanis recognizes that look immediately and with an instinctive visceral wave of empathy. because it's how he's felt so many times looking at them. anyway. anyone ever think about isabela's comment that lucanis looks at rook like he's afraid they're a fever dream. me neither

This shot really struck me deeply because so far it’s one of the few scenes where he doesn’t come off as cold, distant, or just generally disinterested with the things happening around him (especially of things outside his performance). His intentions have always been quite a debate in the fandom, but one strong argument for his actions is that they’re done to survive. His coldness almost seems like a stage persona to keep himself alive. It’s one way to keep calm and keep moving in such a distressing situation, when panic means death. When panic should be a wielded like a weapon instead of a weakness. And yet…in this moment, even though there’s a gun pointed directly on his head…I think he’s the softest, most openly vulnerable we’ve ever seen him. In the shadows of the cold, harsh stage lights, there’s warmth, and you can see it on the blood rushing to his cheeks.

spreading my john gaius was māori space jesus before gideon propaganda: the unimaginably old and vast being from which he comes chose him to save all of humanity and in the end he made a sacrifice of the highest order and was made anew in glory. except he didn't actually sacrifice himself, which is a crucial point that leads me to my second theory: john gaius is evil māori space jesus

Thinking about that one joke in the Book of Bill that implied Bill might be the biological father of the Flynn kids. Thinking about how Linda Flynn had a secret career as a famous astrophysicist at one point. Thinking about how we don’t know exactly what Bill was doing in the 90s, and how he seems to want to skim over that part of his life, after Ford broke up with him for good but before the twins showed up in Gravity Falls.

Thinking about how Bill frequently hung out with famous musicians. Thinking about Linda, a brilliant young woman fresh off a bizarre pop star career, wanting to make a name for herself that ISN’T Lindana, might have found a new direction with an old friend (before he showed her his true colors.)

Thinking about Bill, fresh off a devastating breakup, trying again one more time to get SOMEONE on Earth to make him a portal. Trying to make the plan WORK. Trying to get a home for his friends in the face of a home dimension that was being destroyed (again). Having someone who’s COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from the man he was obsessed with, but who was no less brilliant and no less capable. (But, unfortunately for him, MUCH less gullible.)

Thinking about how Linda doesn’t want people to know about her former career as a famous astrophysicist. How she keeps this secret, even better than she did her past as Lindana. How she keeps the lid on this even TIGHTER. How she’s almost bitter about it. As if something HAPPENED.

I’m not saying Bill Cipher WAS Linda’s partner of at least five years, even going so far as to start a family with her before she saw his true colors and filed some sort of Uber-effective inter-dimensional restraining order against him, one-upping him so hard that he doesn’t even wanna think about it, but. Holy shit. Imagine

The way Stanley??? Always looks out for his family??? Even when they've been mean to him???? Is honestly really admirable????

Like not everyone would look out for their sibling after they've cut them out of their life. Not everyone would try to be better for their niece and nephew because they wanted to leave originally. Not everyone would take a lonely boy under their wing and become essentially their parental figure. Not everyone would still try to make amends when their sibling is hellbent on holding onto a grudge nor willing to sacrifice themselves to protect their loved ones.

Stanley Pines is like the most selfless dude when it really comes down to it. He's a good man despite his fuck ups and it makes me adore him as both a character and a person. Wish we had more people like Stan out there in the world.

Love the idea of de-aged Bruce au where he turn to a lil kid but he still possessed the same skills / knowledge he already has (with some minor changes to fit in his new small body) and he's like "oh this great actually, I wish I was doing this when I was 9"

Meanwhile the boys + Alfred was stressed tf out like, "HMM LET'S NOT ACTUALLYYY" (they know Bruce is capable but also they never saw tiny Bruce and wym he's nine? He look like he's 6!? And wym he can jump very high and do the chandelier swing???? NO HE DOESNT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT—)

I think cassandra would be the most chill about it, experiencing cuteness aggression and is enabling Bruce to try trick that would raise Dick and Alfred blood pressure

Bonus point if dami was the second one that's like "?? I don't see why this is a cause of concern, I did more when I was that age" and is the second enabler (actually dragging tiny Bruce ((who now more lenient and child like despite keeping the same knowledge as older Bruce)) to some misadventures that he always wanted to do) (he wanted to be his father best friend.. Someone sedate me actually OTL)

We mostly see a friendly (for him) / grumpy / overbearing Viago in Veilguard, one who has, according to all the surrounding NPCs, been upset with Rook de Riva being driven away in exile and who is perhaps softened by their survival and return.

Part of my brain is toying with the idea of his paranoia though. Specifically, what it would take for him to snap back at Rook in a way that is him reasserting himself as their Talon, as having power over them, and not just their mentor or friend or familial figure.

Like. I don't know what the scenario would be, but what, precisely, would it take for his eyes and voice to go cold with the kind of warning only Crows fully understand?

The Veilguard watches as instead of responding with their normal bickering and poking and prodding, Rook straightens their spine and bows their head. Any playfulness or frustrated kinetic energy on their part is suddenly smothered.

"Fifth Talon." They acknowledge, no longer Rook, just a Crow.

Viago waits three long heartbeats, stretching the moment thin in order to make a point before he finally acknowledges their submission.

Rook de Riva is allowed many, many indulgences that Viago would never forgive a different Crow. But even with the personal nature of their relationship and even with their alliance with the most reform-minded of all the Talons?

They are both still Crows.

Viago is still Rook's Talon and holds their service and their life in his gloved hands.

Some things cannot, will not be changed or challenged because it is outside of the Crows' nature to do so.

Rook's newfound status as a hero makes that more true, not less. Even with Rook as the savior of Treviso, Viago must be seen as the will of House de Riva, not his complicated little Fledgling.

So when Rook de Riva hears the hissing warning of a snake that refuses to be trampled, they know it to be genuine. And for better or worse, they bow their head and bare their neck.

If anything, it's a mark of Viago's indulgence that it goes no further than that.

But for the members of the Veilguard, excepting Lucanis, the sudden threat and Rook's utter lack of fight is confounding.

Rook is their leader. Rook looks Gods in their face to taunt or berate or laugh at them. Watching the way they smother all their fire behind a completely expressionless face, not a word of protest, is like watching something alien puppeting Rook's body and wearing their face.

Lucanis, again is the exception. He is tense only until Viago accepts Rook's verbal concession and dismisses them, at which point he holds his own stone face to hide a gentle, awkward sympathy, not wanting Rook to feel pitied.

That makes it so much more uncanny for the others watching.
