#death men

Esme being so fucked up after the events of E.clipse? Watching F.elix just e.xecuting B.ree without a second thought? Knowing if she stayed with Charles he'd have probably ended her life similarly to that? Feeling like her own parents who turned a blind eye to her distress.

Watching all those young kids d.ie and by her own hand?

Even V.ictoria... she doesn't want this woman to die. She wished to reach across the aisle and solve this dispute civilly, but the chance never arose and Esme can't help but feel the weight of that in the aftermath of everything that happened.

*taps microphone again* also f.antine washing and brushing e.ponine's hair, then braiding it before she's buried. not being able to get the image of the child she left c.osette with all those years ago.

They say what you do to someone is what happens to you in another reality~

What remains the same is the undeniable tension of different sorts between the two

I think nothing really speaks to Neil's complex character the way Nora's answer to someone asking what's Neil's favorite memories are in the EC does where she said that both coming home from a run to find Andrew napping with their cats and Riko being shot in the head are some of his top favorites.

That's Neil/Nathaniels favorite thing: domestic bliss and the violent death of his enemies

Prompt:

After Red Hood stopped killing and someone leaked footage hinting that he's the second Robin, he expected to fight for every morsel of territory, for everybody to desert him and the murder attempts to triple.

And, well. It's not like he doesn't find himself in a rigged warehouse on Monday, walking off that one explosion with singes on his back. It's not like on Wednesday, a bullet pierces through a hole in his armour and he's losing half his blood in an alley. And sure, someone takes advantage of him throwing his helmet away on Friday (he was out of grenades and needed a bigger bomb) to fear gass him, but it's fine, he can function normally under fear gass nowadays.

Except. Except nobody deserts him. By Monday, the attempts have completely stopped. He walks into a meeting with his men and sees his goons' hands won't stop shaking, and even his lieutenant won't look him in the eyes.

Jason is confused, and so are the other bats, but soon the rumours reach their ears: you can't go after the Red Hood, because no matter what you do, once you've targeted him it's over, like a dog with a bone, he'll get you eventually- no matter how you shoot or how many explosives you use. It doesn't matter that the Red Hood doesn't kill, because the Red Hood doesn't die.

FUNNIEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THIS SHOW

[sporadictimetravelgarden]

an incomplete list of death note things i thought were just jokes until i found out they were canon:

the potato chip scene. how is that real.

apples

the whole “this is something only kira would do, on the other hand, if i don’t do it, he’ll definitely think i’m kira, but . . .” and “kira would never do that, unless he is kira, in which case he would do the opposite of what i know he would do, so that actually increases his likelihood . . .” dynamic that light and L have is not an exaggeration. they really do overthink everything to that degree

the thing that looks like a monster is more mentally stable than the normal human boy

light isn’t attracted to misa

I know it might not be the healthiest choice for my body, but I try to push those thoughts aside. I also try not to dwell on the fact that one day my size might become a bigger issue for me than it is now. But honestly, I can’t help it—I just love the feeling of my big, heavy belly.

Horizon: Zero Dawn

@silcntsinners asked: “I’m sorry for your… loss.” (hello & thank you!)

It always startles her whenever she meets someone else at the small, quaint church Carlisle had chosen for her son's resting place. She sees people, of course, but her child's grave is apart from the others, tucked away in a quiet place beneath a tree that blooms with cherry blossoms in the spring.

She's not sure how long she's been standing here. Long since dead flowers are clasped against her chest, a new amalgamation of flowers freshly trimmed, placed and watered adorning the otherwise grey headstone.

The date will give it away— 1921. Has it really been that long?

And so, as she finally lifts her head to greet the face of the voice she heared, Esme lies. "Thank you, but he was my grandmother's son... I tend to his grave when I can, to keep both their memories alive." Her gaze can't help but journey back to the name, so recently refreshed to keep it from fading. Then, a grain of truth. "She never got over losing him."

*taps microphone* f.antine cradling g.avroche's body, stroking his hair and singing the same lullaby she used to sing to c.osette. trying to give him the motherly love he so very much deserved and should have had while alive 😭

"Nora doesn't know anything about the things she writes about" "aftg is terrible queer rep" "the queer characters in aftg are so problematic"

Idk guys maybe the book series abt problematic ppl set in 2006 and written in the mid 2010s shouldn't be expected to hold up against scrutiny of what we consider to be moral and correct now, in 2024

Idk tho, idk

Hi! I was reading your tags and am genuinely curious as to what about the SA handling you did not care for As someone who does have issues with such things, I have not been able to put my finger on the problem that I am actually having with how things are handled or if it is just a general issue of it being in things I otherwise enjoy.

Keeping this really brief because it's not really something I want to argue on or anything haha. I just kind of have a personal issue with it in context of the epic in that

Calypso's rape of Odysseus - explicit

Suitors' potential harm to Penelope - implied

Vs the musical

Calypso and Odysseus - implied or erased. I'm not actually sure, people seem to believe both

Antinous' song and Odysseus' song after - very explicitly states their intention to rape Penelope, the animatic in hold them down is also very graphic from what I've seen

It feels a bit selective, and it's kind of the same issue I had with tsoa. I don't really mind these topics coming up in adaptations/media, it's always important, but there is some discussion to be had about gender and SA, especially in horror, and how people depict rape for either gender groups
