#because he is a vulture

[august-parker]

Can you imagine if Ironman 1 FREAKY Stark met Peter instead of less freaky more "responsible" tony in civil war?? 😭 oh my GOD that kid would be DEAD AS HELL

Tony eating a donut: "sorry- who are you again?"

Peter: "I'm your intern.. I have been for like a month-"

Tony nodding and not listening at all: "yeah yeah whatever- listen I have a job for you."

Peter fully believing it's superhero related: "seriously? What is it-?"

Tony: "pepper banned me from the fridge.. In there you will find a large half full bottle of the best whisky I have ever drank. I need you to use your sticky gross kid fingers and grab it for me kay?"

Peter: "okay.. what if I get caught??"

Tony: "don't. Just hurry up kid."

Tony walking into the room: "pepper says we have to bond I'm taking you to a party"

Peter: "cool!! What kind of party?"

Tony: "the kind where you wait outside and let me gamble like a normal adult, if someone offers you cocaine just don't take it, I don't wanna deal with that"

Peter:

Peter: "can we get food on the way..?"

Tony: "see this is why I like you kid"

Pepper: "Tony I fired Peter. Your a horrible influence and an even worse caretaker!"

Tony: "so you hate me"

Pepper: "no?? You just can't take children to parties!"

Tony: "But he's my emotional support child??? Do you really want me to kill myse-"

Pepper: "Tony! That is not funny!"

Tony: "it is a little bit, what was his name again?"

I think there is a tendency to both view Remmick as completely incapable of charisma or manipulation (he's not but it'd take too much effort for me to lay out all the reasons I disagree with that interpretation), and to view him as a perfectly calculating mastermind.

The idea that he turned Mary instead of convincing her to invite him in because he is just that egotistical (and he does have ego, don't get me wrong) and it was all Planned is... not accurate.

Jack O'Connell emphasized you see only one night of a very long life in this film, I think people assume he's acting like he always acted, and I don't think so. I think he was already going to the Juke Joint and then he saw what Sammie could do (and he can actually see it, due to being a supernatural being) and he got frantic, he panicked.

He turns Mary because that was part of his goal anyway, and he wants her to let him in, but he's rushing things. He's not stopping and thinking about the best way to get in, and he already tried outright being invited. It's not him needing to be the “center of the party”, it's plain and simple bad impulse control driven by desperation.

And Mary was told to get him in, she goes in and tells Stack they're fine and he goes to invite them but she kisses and distracts him (I very much think those that are newly turned are in an extreme euphoric state, high, basically, and they aren't making the best decisions either.)

He didn't switch to asking to be given Sammie because he didn't want to turn anyone else or didn't care or didn't want community etc etc. He did that because things kept not working out like he hoped, so he started basically begging. (I also think as soon as he had Sammie he would've backed off temporarily, calmed down some, and re-evaluated his plan to get to the rest of them, maybe even another night).

Remmick is capable of manipulation and calculation, he's not showing it in the night in the film because he's thinking with his feelings.

(Further analysis of his ability to sway people here.)

This corner is looking cool

[leox-un]

ok soul eater oc created surprise its jekyll and hyde :)

essentially he was having trouble as a weapon being partnered with others so he figured out a way to split his soul in half to wield himself, but its kind of. Killing Him because he doesn't have 2 souls, just 2 halves of 1 soul so hes on his way to Do Some Crimes Against Humanity

ill elaborate on them further eventually maybe but i basically made them to cope with the fact that theres like 5 crumbs of stein backstory so im Making It Myself

Do we like the sketches? I can’t draw very well but I tried! They’re also a little lazy but Yknow :D

You may have to open the full picture for better quality.

holy freakshow I tototally forgot to show off my new epic fursona deisgng

bask in her glory whyis this image so large

her name is Ruth becuausde my name is awesome and it stands for ruthless unstoppable terrorizing hellspawn . She’s 16 and wants to kill you but she can’t because she has braces and it hurts to bite. She glows in da dark because she’s really cool and her favorite food is caramel apple lollipops.

Okay but the thing is, I actually think the Crosshair’s shadow thing works really well, but it’s in this really specific way where CX-2 is Tech and the shadow is Crosshair’s guilt.

shoutout to my dad who saw me doodling grima yesterday after we got back from his MRI and he said "thats a nasty looking bird...." im so glad he caught onto the vibes of my feathery grima agenda.

[creme-meme]

it's wild that Kendrick dropped a diss track, won 5 Grammys, performed it at the Superbowl, and got Drake fumbling so hard that his only reaction was to get lawyers involved (ah yes, true rapper behaviour in a feud is *checks notes* initiating legal action)

and Kendrick is a self-confessed hater, but my god does he hate. his grudge earned him 5 awards and a prime time TV slot where he got to look directly at the camera and call Drake a pedophile. truly inspirational to us petty ass bitches out here who hold grudges.

and the music video? the funniest touch is Kendrick deftly sliding across a hopscotch when he says A-minooorrrrrrrrrr~, but then ending it with a fucking barn owl in a cage, after he smashed an owl piñata earlier in the video and not long after the lyric "locked in here"

the owl can symbolise a lot of things, but the most direct and obvious is Drake's label being OVO, like a little emoticon of a bird

it's Kendrick going "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me"

[akajustmerry]

favourite part of fd signifier's kendrick.v.drake essay is where he's like, "why didn't drake call kendrick on his hotep shit?" sjsjsjsjjssjsjsns

I’m too lazy to analyze it someone do it for me but that part in the convo q!Bad had with q!Baghera where she says something like “The workers could have a family, they could be someone else’s egg” and q!Bad responds with “yeah I thought about it, that’s when I stopped uh…”

because that seems very important to me. it seems like a confirmation of the fact that q!Bad saw these workers as mindless drones and Walter Bob as an outlier, an mistake on the federation’s part. And then when Ron essentially confirmed that it wasn’t, that they all have feelings, he stopped.

Stopped what? Stopped seeing workers as nothing but extensions of the federation? Stopped psychologically torturing Ron? Stopped keeping him in a damp cage? Stopped resisting the urge to care?

Stopped what? No matter which option you pick, you learn that q!Bad thought about the workers in a certain light, learned information that potentially severely contradicted his belief, and then reflected and adjusted his own behavior accordingly. If the “that’s when I stopped…” was about to end in “torturing him” that feels like a huge… something… about q!Bad and his supposedly “unhinged” nature.

There are a couple natural conclusions to that sentence, almost all of them make q!Bad seem a lot more… something… than I’d originally given him credit for.

New silly guy time

I got questions I got questions about vulture a lotta questions! 3, 4, 6, 7, 18, 25, 37, 39

i took so long to answer oh my god sorry!!!!! here it is!!

3. What is their SPECIAL?

Answered here!! <3

4. What perks or tagged skills do they have?

Tagged skills: Speech, Survival

Perks: Terrifying Presence, Animal Friend and Sniper

6. Were they born pre-war or post-war?

Vulture was born post-war, and is close to Boone's and Veronica's age!

Though, there's no trace of his date of birth in his diary and his memory never returns to him, so he doesn't know how old he is. He only knows that he wasn't a ghoul before the Divide, and he knows his approximate age thanks to Ulysses' observation of his pre-Divide self.

7. Do they wish they lived before the war / could go back to life before the war?

Oh yesss, for sure.

It intrigues him, and he would certainly bug Raul and every other pre-war ghoul about that era.

Still, I doubt that Vulture would love the real life before the war (not the one that's just his impression of it), or that he would wish for it for more that few seconds of lazy daydreaming.

Even in those few seconds that he would wish to live before the war, he would probably think about it more like: "Man, I wish I lived before the war, it would've been so cool to not be ghoulified. Right?"

18. Do they have any disabilities, mutations, or implants / enhancements? Do they have any chronic illnesses?

*prepares a list*

So.

He's a ghoul and a Marked One. His skin was literally torn off from his body by radioactive winds. His flesh is slowly decaying and degrading. His left side suffered so much damage during the atom blast that his left eye is about to pop out of it's socket because his eyelids are literally too weak and rotten to hold it.

Y-yeahhhhh...... Even though he probably restored an extremely thin layer of his skin somewhere along New Vegas storyline, his eye will need to be removed. And he's probably suffering from chronic tendonitis or something along the likes of it because of the degrading flesh from ghoulification.

And yes, he has implants in his spine (Old World Blues) and the implants on intelligence, endurance, perception and strength from Dr. Usanagi.

The perception implant, I believe, would be a direct eye and an eyelid implants to replace Vulture's bad eye.

25. Are they quick to trust others?

I'd say yes, but probably not.

Let me elaborate!

Vulture is quick to make you think he trusts you - he's gonna show you his vulnerable side, he's gonna go belly up for you in terms of the rules of the survival in the Mojave.

He's gonna trust a complete stranger with his things and his food and his life, but oh! What's that? Show you his skin without the disguise? Nope. Even Boone saw his truly vulnerable parts just by accident, and even then Vulture took his time to open up to him enough to show it on his own much, much later.

He trusts his fears and insecurities only to his companions and close friends (which are few), but yeah, he doesn't give off the impression of a closed up person. He's quick to open, just not in the way that truly matters lol :D

If it's important, then he's gonna think for a loooooong time before trusting someone.

37. What is the worst injury they have experienced?

If we are not counting The Incidents that were the Divide and the Benny Disaster (and we're not), Vulture was gravelly injured only once.

Sure, he's constantly nursing broken bones and concussions, but it wasn't ever that serious as this.

I won't spoil when exactly it happened, but a Legionary almost gutted Vulture, stabbing him in the torso multiple times with a poisoned blade. That was NOT a fun experience, Vulture almost died, and would have, if not for Boone's quick thinking with stimpacks and healing poiltice AND radiation treatment from a nearby medic.

Vulture hates being healed by radiation because of the rumour that it might turn even sentient ghouls feral, but he certainly would have died from that injury if he were a baseline human (even with the other treatments that he received, only his ghoulish healing factor saved his life).

And the crowd goes... yay?

39. What is their favorite song?

Something's Gotta Give!!!

It's a song that reminds Vulture of his and Boone's relationships, so he listens to it religiously every time it comes up. Tbh, he was in love with that song even before he met Boone.

"That Domino guy is such a prick. How the fuck he managed to create a song as good as this one???", Vulture would say about that song. He has huge beef with Dean after Sierra Madre, but well oh well, a good song never dies in Vulture's loyal heart.

Btw, I made an animatic with this song :) It was just such a good fit for them that in the end I couldn't resist lol

[half-man-half-lime]

I swear to fuck (bad podcast) is like Lucy with the football. Like every time I think "oh, maybe this time they'll do a good job!" And then every time they come up with bad ideas I couldn't even have imagined.

Like "we have to consolidate characters (they don't), Labyrinth is out so instead Burnscar is Faultline's long lost sister who got kidnapped by Cauldron, she shows up to tell Faultline she abandoned her family, and then for drama's sake Faultline is watching paralyzed on the ground when Grue kills Burnscar, the ultimate betrayal" like what the fuck!

How did you even get there! Am I genuinely supposed to go Constructive Criticism mode just to debate the finer points with a bunch of people who will never change their minds over an idea that is, fundamentally, fucking stupid?

"Coil has to survive longer so it's not a letdown when he dies early on in the season" stop extending tension! I will spray you with a fucking water bottle if you try to extend tension! The tension serves the characters and conflict, not the other way around! Stop making mysteries that weren't really mysteries and didn't even need solving!
