#haha think abt the implications of that!

hey so like. in the scenario where the king does successfully freeze the country, it'll get unfrozen years later, right? bc he cant freeze himself, that'll unfreeze the country. so eventually he'll die of old age. unfreezing the country in the process

I hit chilchuck with harpyfication beam for 500 mana and blow him into one million pieces. Drivel below vv

I think chilchuck is some kind of likeeee wren? Chickadee maybe? Maybe even a cardinal? Some kind of small songbird, i just wanted him to have some kind of warm-colored wing with white speckles (my lazy ass did NOT use a reference for these shitty little doodles but if I ever end up making solid refs for them I’ll do more research), I thought about maybe hummingbird wings butttt idk I couldnt get the shape right and I wanted him to have more of a traditional harpy look. I combined elements from my harpies (wings and arms, jewelry/piercings, feathered tails) and canon harpies (FEATHER TIT WINDOW‼️ kind of feral, sharp teeth, etc) and kind of mashed them up. I TOTALLY FORGOT to give him jewelry on his arms and stuff but maybe I’ll go back to that laterrr idk like i said these r quick shitty doodles. So i guess hes kind of half harpy. I was like MANNNN wouldnt it be funny if he got his soul fucked up and had to navigate the rest of his life as a chimera. Lol. What if he had to relearn how to be human. What if laios had to teach him. Haha would that be fucked up or what. He could have also just been like that when they first met him and that would be cool too i think. What about the Implications??? Are his wings sensitive? What abt his tail? Are his senses even sharper?? Does this change his diet? Are his taloned hands still clever enough to pick locks? THEN i started thinking about the others…. Laios n Falin r some kind of owl. Snowy owl probably their northern asses but I also like the idea of them being some kind of seabird. Big ole albatross Touden sibs. Senshi is probably also sone kind of owl, maybe even some kind of chicken? Vulture might also be cool. Marcille is definitely a duck or swan tho (GASP unless SHES the hummingbird!! I will come back to this later). Izutsumi is already a cat, but if she had wings too shed be a corvid of some sort fo sho. Idk about yhe others because I cannot lie to u idgaf about them. ANYWAYS i love to talk about wings and harpies and how that affects team and overall social dynamics so if anyone has anything to add please do‼️

2.7 quest was simply insanity. I'm so obsessed with the fact that it's canon that Aventurine left a big impression on Sunday, big enough for it to be reflected and even outright stated in the quest. There's something so sweet about the reason why Sunday even got the chance to say his goodbye to Robin was thanks to him giving his luck a try which has interesting implications. There's also that Sunday says to us at the end of the quest how he learnt a lot from his past opponents and would love to hear our criticism. In Sunday's voiceline, he refers to Aventurine as a "respectable opponent". It's so obvious that it's alluding to the notion that Sunday looks back at Aventurine fondly and there's some part of Aventurine that now lives rent free in his head haha. They're so canon they make me sickkkkkk!!!

THIS THIS THISSS anon ur ask made me dance around in place and kick my feet u are so right thank you for putting it into words

Sunday cares for him sooo much its SO OBVIOUS he was never nonchalant abt Aven. he took him seriously from the start and never underestimated the facade Aven had going on. he's one of his fonder rivals, and he looks forward to clash again in the future 👀?

Now all we need is like. more confirmation that Aven reciprocates it all but if you ask me? from "the most handsome man on Penacony!" to "Looks like you have a new plan, I'll wait and see what happens~" I think Aventurine is still just as interested in Sunday 💕💕💕

its so clear that they both enjoy this dance, this game of chess of theirs.

seeing eugene and rapunzel interact in tangled before ever after is so interesting bc like. i think it showcases really well how good the writers are at fleshing out their character’s different perspectives of life, and why they perceive things in that way. especially because it’s shown rather than told, like how we see rapunzel at first overjoyed at eugene’s proposal only to be set off by a specific trigger sentence / implication

eugene’s someone who’s never had stability before in his life. growing up in an orphanage and shaped by the abandonment he felt in his early years, and done wrong by the opportunities not offered to him, he’s lived his life on the road and on the unpredictable path of crime. aside from lance (and even with him it seems rocky) most of his relationships are marked by transaction, not care. so finding someone that sees past what he needed to be to survive, finding someone that gives him that stability? it makes sense that he wants to cling onto that. he outwardly talks abt it in the movie too!! his willingness to be vulnerable and open around rapunzel is so heartwarming, bc from his background i could only imagine how much he probably struggle(s/d) with getting to that point. AHH!!

but even with that aside, he’s also just… seen the world. having moved from place to place so often, he’s seen so much and experienced even more. he says this line that’s like, “i’ve been all over the world, and chances are, it’s not getting any better than this”. from his perspective it’s true, but to rapunzel and where she’s currently at in her healing journey? PROBABLY THE WORST THING TO SAY HAHA

and then we have rapunzel, someone who’s NEVER seen the world. for the first eighteen years of her life, her most formative years, she was locked away inside of a tower, stuck in a single room. and now that she’s free, there’s only even more holding her down: her father’s (albeit well-intentioned) helicoptering and her royal responsibilities. she has everything she thinks that she wants, and while told that she’s free, what happens around her proves (to her) that she isn’t. we watch as she struggles to adjust to an entirely new world, all the while trying to understand this discontentment she’s feeling and WHY — especially when almost everyone around her is telling her that she should be happy.

rapunzel, at her core, is free-spirited. she does things her way and lives to experience, aiming to make where she was a little brighter when she leaves it. there’s a restlessness she has from being locked away, and in order for her to be happy she needs to express that. the world is entirely new to her, and this foils eugene’s lived experience of having seen so much. while eugene has grown almost “tired” of the world, rapunzel is deeply enchanted by it — and this enchantment reignites a passion inside of eugene, which they end up exploring and touching upon in the series

while i watched the show first before the movie accidentally XD i can safely that that the movie does a really good job at setting up the series. it shows clear character dynamics and sets up conflict within those dynamics to be explored and then resolved, and while this post is focused on rapunzel and eugene, i could talk for equally as long abt the other character’s like king frederic and cassandra. GOOD MOVIE!!!! AHHH!!!!!!

[showtoonzfan]

Just want to preface this by saying i love ur analysis sm- u put my exact thoughts into words when i cant verbalise whats wrong with a particular writing decision 🥲🥲

Anyway, smth ive noticed is how... little time vivzie actually spends on writing or characterizing or fleshing out her characters.

Which has to be the weirdest thing so far bc every writer and artist ive met agree that its the best part of making an oc! Its so fun to think of backstories and tie that into their current personality and generally just figuring out random details to get to know your characters!

Like, my ocs are my best friends, i know everything abt them from their trauma and childhoods, to their favourite food and music.

But time and time again she proves that her characters are at best acquaintances... the fandom fleshes out the characters so well and with so much love and care and thought that vivzie herself cant do and its just sad.

Not even mentioning the hundreds of retcons and how characters will just change personality randomly or act out of character which results in the work feeling like a fanfic of itself. (Ironic considering some fanfics have better and more consistent characterisation)

It feels like shes making it up as she goes, instead of having an actual plan. Just shoving random ideas she likes or picks up from the much more creative fandom into the 2 shows without actually stopping and thinking abt the consequences or implications.

Theres so many decisions shes made that irk me so bad... the ideas individually have potential but they either dont fit the show or have to make huge retcons and result in the plot not making any sense.

Also, ngl but she has the worst case of tell dont show ive ever seen my god 😭😭 like... you realise you have to show things instead of just fucking singing it or having a character say it??? Or is that another thing that the fandom has to do so they can convince themselves that the show has good characters??

Atp idk how to salvage the show... i keep finding more and more plotholes and unless i literally turn my brain off and only focus on haha funny dick joke or pwetty colors, these questions keep popping into my head making it a painful unenjoyable experience.

Again, if the fandom has to justify your bad nonsensical hypocritical worldbuilding then you failed. Massively.

Anyway im very sleepy rn just wanted to rant a bit bc im a writer and artist myself and it pisses me off how someone gets their show on the air and still doesnt care abt putting in effort into their plot or characters beyond aesthetics and random ideas that dont go well together...

You’re speaking facts! And it’s honestly like..kinda funny too that people who have their own OC’s can flesh them out and deep dive into their arcs/backstories ect, yet a professional showrunner who’s had these characters for YEARS can’t even give the majority of her characters flaws or quirks, or even consistency, same goes for Helluva Boss.

Viv is a really good example at letting inspired writers know what not to do when making a story and characters so at least they have that lol.

[mamawasatesttube]

wait sorry i'm still thinking about fanon and the "no metas in gotham" thing and i have to dunk on bruce in sb94 #85 for a second. every time i think abt this line i just

this is one of the most egregious issues re: bruce being shitty about metas. it's also frankly kind of ooc in that... like. this guy? is supposedly friends with superman? and wonder woman? etc? lol? but in the doylist context, it's simply that batman is being written antagonistically, to show kon being a good friend to cass by standing up to him when he's being an asshole.

that being said. it's absolutely wild to me that there are people who act like bruce being an anti-meta prejudiced raging asshole is a chill and normal quirky trait that's perfectly acceptable when even when it's shown up in canon, it's received pushback immediately from characters around bruce:

or like in batgirl (2000) when he's being controlling over cass, clark shows up to tell him like. dude. chill the fuck out.

idk where i'm going with this exactly, i guess i'm just kinda thinking of how [white] fandom often does not engage with the implications of forms of bigotry that don't have 1:1 parallels in reality. like yeah metahumans don't exist in real life but. i'm sorry man but a man telling his prized possession of a daughter "i don't want you near his kind" re: a boy he considers dangerous is... not the sort of thing that exists in a vacuum. like... does the racism metaphor really have to be spelled out even more blatantly than that for people to realize it's, like. right there??

and i mean. i don't think the people going "oh lol bruce hates metas XD and everyone in the batfam is just chill with that haha" are intending to be like "yeah bruce is a racist dickwad and the rest of the bats are chill with that". i don't think they even realize that the way bruce, when written as being anti-meta, speaks about metas has direct parallels to real-world racist arguments. but that's also kinda the exact problem. why do you not realize this...

[wof-reworked]

ok I can't stop thinking about the jade winglet, here's my gender hcs for all of them

Moonwatcher - she/they (nonbinary)

I feel like this is fun bc rn (in canon) her gender is just "anxiety" but like,,, one day in the future she gets to actually play around with it

like she captures a very specific type of person I've met who you go "oh I mean I know she's gay but she's probably cis..." and then you have like one real convo and find out they're like not only nonbinary but better at it then you

I think she should get to be butch when she's older. I think she deserves being a) massive compared to her two twink boyfriends and b) gnc as shit

Kinkajou- any/all (genderfluid +transfem)

Kinkajou strikes me as being like. totally ambivalent to gender. Kinkajou changes her pronouns based on how the fruit he ate for breakfast makes him feel. Kinkajou is better than you

I think she was like staunchly using she/her for a while bc it just felt right and like changes pronouns situationally- Rainwing village is she/her, Jade Academy is any/all, close friends it varies, etc etc

Qibli- he/they (transmasc)

Qibli's just always kind of known who he is, and has been like. pretty contentedly in his corner for a while. I think it's like- a pillar of stability for him of like "at least I know I'm (x)"

Proximity to Moonwatcher puts the they/them in there bc I think it's nice when ppl get more comfortable so they start branching out a lil bit :> Qibli has like. guy who says "he/they" because he doesn't mind they/them and wants his friends to feel supported y'know

Winter- he/him (cis + gnc)

Look I feel bad making him one of like. two cis ppl at JMA but like I think it's funny if he's cis but inflicts a status effect of gender envy on every trans person in his proximity

guy who does makeup flawlessly because "it's fun" and decimates your sense of identity as you wonder why the fuck god gave these gifts to a man

extra funny for the fact that as a dragonet he gets offended by the implication he's pretty. he gets over it eventually I think

Turtle- she/her or he/she/they (transwoman/trans)

See here. Otherwise I think she's like trans and this could go in like. any fucking direction ngl

transmasc turtle??? hell yeah !!! transfem turtle??? hell yeah !!! gender is whatever Turtle has going on and god knows if she knows it

last egg to crack bc Turtle is immune to self reflection that isn't anxiety and self loathing

"Haha everyone hates how other people refer to them and their gender what do you mean? :)" (entire jade winglet: cringing with worry)

Umber- he/him (cis)

cis and a lil insecure about it but like. he's just nice :)

he's like experimented with pronouns and gender and found none of them really stuck so like. cis+. cis (extended dlc). you know what I mean I hope

gonna be honest I'm lost for him bc I genuinely forget he was there bc he peaced out so fast. justice for my boy I want to know more !!!!!

I could be persuaded for transman Umber ngl,,, it tempts me,,,,,,

Peril- she/her (trans woman)

On one hand I'm torn bc I think it almost doesn't make sense for her backstory BUT ON THE OTHER HAND the idea of Scarlet being supportive of Peril's identity and LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE is hysterical to me

though actually if we wanna get sad,,,, that 100% could be a manipulation tactic of Scarlet. "see I love you I even accept you" etc etc. now I just feel bad man

Peril's also in the same camp of Qibli of knowing this abt herself since she could think and being happy in it. She knows what she's about

BONUS:

Carnelian- she/they/he (transmasc)

Look butch can be a gender and sometimes you're a mean butch skywing idk what to tell you

wish she stayed alive bc her and Moon could've been legendary together. girl who will kill for you vs girl who desperately wants you to do anything else please we talked about this you can't solve your problems with murder

I think Carnelian's true gender is Skywing Patriot and idk how to put that in hc form but this is as best I've got

[futurequibblerjournalist]

sending in asks bc u r beloved mutual and i want to send stuff to potentially chew on 🙏

Thinking abt Evan and Barty developing feelings for eachother in ways that are completely sane and healthy for the both of them <3

Barty doesn’t really have much of a reaction to realizing he’s in love with Evan tbh. His thing with Evan hasn’t been normal ever, he’s always yearned to be merged within him, wanting to make out with him is just a facet of that (if not a natural progression in his eyes). I think it would prob take Evan a little longer to realize it? He figures out Barty has a gay little crush on him and he’s practically clicking his heels in excitement bc hes an insufferable egomaniac. He very, very much treats it like a joke they’re both in on until he has to confront he’s way too into it. Barty knows this already and he also knows Evan’s attracted to men bc…duh.

They’re just kind of stuck in this limbo of knowing that whats between them isnt completely platonic and they keep flirting with eachother and theyre way too close for “friends”. But actually talking about the implications of that is way too difficult and vulnerable so they dont do it for as long as possible (and they do the exact same thing once they start fooling around). Idk they’re just guys who deal with their queer identities in emotions in completely healthy ways and don’t compartmentalize at all!!

P.S: their friends also sense their faggotry but most of them are homophobic teenage boys and thats way too uncomfy to bring up so they just. Don’t.

Yessss throw all the stuff at me you want,,, I'm eating this up < 3

I think we need more they're something but they're not gonna talk about it rosekiller cause it's just,, it's so good

I definitely think Evan is the one who takes the longest to realise it. I love to throw a bit of religious guilt in there from Barty's side cause I am a bit of a sucker for little smartass nerd Barty who slowly grows into the degenerate we all know he really is lol

I like the thought of their friends being like,, there's something not straight about those two but also upon first glance you think they're just those idiots that sit in the back of the class and act just a smidge too homoerotic towards each other while being like "haha no homo tho"

[sparklingdemon]

The reversed Cody art and the April Fools event with Venusaur in Pokémon Monochrome have me thinking about what a hypothetical Eevee ghost would potentially be like (A huge surprise, coming from the user "bronzeeevee" LMAO)

If Venusaur is apathy, I was thinking maybe Eevee could be pure emotion, or something along the lines of that?

Lean into Eevee's evolution gimmick to have it be like Pikachu (Jolteon), Blastoise (Vaporeon), and Charizard (Flareon) all in one, switching between evolution forms seemingly on a dime?

(Putting some rough doodles I did for this idea below- hopefully it goes through, I am admittedly still getting used to tumblr XD)

Side note: The recent confrontation with Charizard has me on the EDGE OF MY SEAT. Even beyond just the confrontation itself and hoping we can fulfill Cody's wishes, the IMPLICATIONS of how the "real" Cody died all adding up... ohhh boy. Very good stuff, again I have to praise your dialogue skills and ability to set a suspenseful scene!

(side note #2: I have not been able to get the phrase "BAJALASTOISE BLAST" out of my head for the past several days LMAO)

oooo very fun! i like the idea of it! (makes me think of the pokemon adventures manga, where red's eevee did the exact same thing!)

i can imagine that unlike with the other ghosts, who know exactly what they want, eevee ghost has no idea what it wants to be, or what it wants from the situation, and is erratic and tormented because of it, haha. (a parallel to cody not knowing what to do with themself, and the audience themselves being indecisive abt what to do with cody)

flipping between emotions nearly instantly with no sense to it. goes from flareon angrily calling cody a dumpster fire before jolteon saying "haha i was just joking" and vaporeon like "i'm sorry please don't be mad at me". it probably would also try to argue with itself, making a point in an argument only to be like "AUGH! NO! YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!" it would be like if all of cody's players were wrapped up into the same pokemon, all at once. i love the ideas this concept is giving me, haha!

thank you! i'm really glad the charizard confrontation is giving its intended effect - even successfully defeating charizard won't come with its own fallout and drama, because she's cast suspicion onto cody… it's clear that cody's players are still (mostly) on cody's side, but it'll be interesting to watch cody try to damage-control the situation after this is over…

(not gonna lie the bajalastoise blast ask sent me too lmao)

[blairwick]

Hallo!!!! Was just wondering abt your fav john wick ships!! :D

Evren!! Thank you so much for the ask haha I was offline for quite a few days due to a lot of stuff happening haha

5. John Wick x The Marquis - I really liked reading Beyond Judgement although I never really had the time to continue it further. I liked how it portrayed how John and Vincent would actually be in a relationship with Vincent’s anger and all towards the High Table. I think they would make a great enemies to lovers🤍

4. Gianna D’Antonio x Cassian - I love what they had and the implications of their relationship transcending beyond just the relationship of a boss and her bodyguard. The subtle intimacy between them during Gianna’s party was enough to make me see them as a couple, and only cemented when I saw Cassian’s reaction to Gianna’s dead body and his level of devotion to the point he actively hunts down John Wick long after Gianna is dead.

3. Mia x Akira Shimazu - I just saw this around while scrolling through tumblr and I really loved the idea. I don’t have much to say other than I enjoy it!☺️

2. Caine x John - I always loved Donnie Yen as an actor and seeing him in the fourth installment of my favorite movie series since it came out back in 2014 just made me love Caine immediately. He’s John Wick’s mirror, the only one who can reflect the sheer amount of power and strength that John possesses. Both John and Caine are both fighting for love, for John it’s Helen and for Caine, it’s his daughter Mia. The way that Caine didn’t know what John was going to pull at the duel yet trusted him because John could have immediately just shot Caine right in between the eyes but no, he still had trust for John.

1.Helen Wick x John Wick - The fandom’s parents🙌  I love them and Helen continues to haunt the narrative. Her death leading to so much destruction and the entirety of the movies.

Bonus! Iosef and me because I liked Alfie Allen in GOT

[peonyb]

Not Venali giving out black cat energy in the last ask 😂 they're truly in denial abt their feelings for MC with all of the implications attached to them, uh. They made me laugh the most along with Em, petty trickster as they are, well played tho lmao.

I have this classic ask that hasn't been around in a while: if the MC was a mind reader for like a day, what’d be the first thing they hear the ROs think when they see the MC? Can be crushing or relationship stage, whichever you prefer!

Haha anything involving MC and some form of romantic intention triggers Venali’s fight or flight response. And Em! They aren’t afraid of a lie or two or four if it helps them get what they want.

In the crushing stage:

Welling: I’ll never tire of looking at them.

Venali: I can’t let this keep affecting me.

Trivelyn: An active mind filled with various reminders, musings and observations, comes to a sudden halt as they take in the MC.

Em: There is something about them. I want to know what it is.

Anle: Unexpected.

uni2 spoilers

now that the uni2 honeymoon period is setting in some... ive been thinking about specifically merkava's good ending a whole lot for the past 2 days out of everyone... (excluding enkidu because. yknoww teehee. hehe. haha.) ive been thinking about how genuinely adorable his reaction to being a human is. seeing merkava suffer for well over a decade across games and getting to be genuinely vindicated for trying to keep that human part of him still there. i think no part shows that at its best but at the beginning of the end of his kuon fight (sorry thats a mouthful) where when hes eating him up, in the bad ending human merk's narration is taken over by the merk we know, completely frenzied, but in the good ending human merk's narration continues...until he realizes this isn't him internally monologuing anymore he's just a guy now! i also just think him having two endings makes his arcade route the most impactful out of everyone especially since merkava is already like one of the coolest and most interesting fg characters like...ever. it really highlights the stakes of his wellbeing and how an overwhelming night like that effects it. i feel like underwhelming endings like byakuya's or the re-birth'd endings of hilda and carmine could've benefitted from a bad/good ending path structure too... take mega advantage of how arcade modes in fgs function for your final game dammit!!!!

i like seeing him thrilled at all the small things he can feel now as a human. when he fully processes the fact that he is a Real guy now the first thing he just thinks is what he wants to do...and how just living a normal ass life, even the struggle parts, is all he wanted (even if brought up upon a gag scene) its good to see merkava...happy after so long as someone thats followed this game since like, uniel? while questions remain unanswered abt him (like his ties with orie) his salvation is the most rewarding out of everyone because of the nature of his character. its cute to imagine him just doing normal things while his speech is still oddly formal and probably still a behemoth height wise and also his hair just being like that. moe if you will. with that said wheres my fucking 12 episode slice of life human merkava anime i want to see that grown ass man live a satisfying life. please for the love of god i just want to see it. this is why we need that chronicle mode patch. i wanna see other characters react to him suddenly being a hot man. why did they have to lowkey rush uni2 out the door

the merk = hollow god theory going around is also pretty interesting because while i can see that conclusion for obvious reasons (HE LITERALLY SAYS THE TITLE BY NAME LOL,) i also feel like he would've had a power trip moment like hilda and carmine did when they converted if he really REALLY did inherit stuff from the hollow god? but merkava is just...normal. he's just overwhelmed with the joy of getting to indulge himself. so either thats a testament to how humble the hollow god was or like merk's deep humanity just overrid any of that nonsense. i prefer just human merkava being human merkava because that implies he truly is just a regular weird good guy and possibly was just that in his past too.

i wish i had been thinking abt merk's ending this deep when i made that initial answer to @/starocide's ask because the implications of both his endings for him as a character AND LIKE GENERAL UNI WORLDBUILDING are insanely fucking valuable when you think about it. its up there with chaos's arcade route with how much it forwards it. is there hope for all voids in general with what the good ending implies? im so curious now....

Also because i have to say it: verdict is in. human merkava is pretty hot actually. Meow meow meow

Sorry theory

So, you all know the Sorry channel with Ranboo, Wilbur, Phil, Charlie and Tommy right? Well, I have a theory abt it. We’ve only seen season one, the trailer for season two and the first video for season two so I could be very wrong rn.

All the videos follow the common theme of criminal activity or law in general, except for the painting video which I’ll talk about later.

From robbing a bank, from going to court, from starting a cult, to just being lethal they present it in a funny haha way so that we don’t make theories on it. Welp, what I think we are seeing is a funny interpretation of criminal activity and how saying “sorry” can’t fix everything or a retelling of a group of criminals. Even Phil said that everything is connected.

before we get into it, I just wanna say that in both theories everyone plays multiple characters across the timeline. So, if there’s a character I don’t address like Ranboo playing the cult leader it’s a separate character.

In the first “episode” where they go to court, they are there because Tommy apparently ate Phil’s sausage roll, and this might just be a metaphor for cannibalism. It’s stretch but it’s there. There’s also the fact that at the end it gives a conclusion for what happened to everyone, which in our “time line” this would be the end of it with the jail video being the epilogue of some sort.

The second “episode” where they go to prison is like previously said, the epilogue for what happened to everyone. Not much to really say about it.

In the third “episode” where they rob a bank, this is the crime that they commit. The group of criminals get together after painting to rob a bank, starting their slow decent into this criminal life for all of them. (Note: Gretchen and Wilma didn’t join the heist, or Wilma is a trans guy and later became Wilbur.)

In the fourth “episode” right before they actually rob a bank, Charlie is still a cop but soon quits it to join the bank heist. (we see implications at the end) in this one we see some back story and how they found Tommy and Wilbur and added him to the “gang” (unless Wilma is a trans guy and later became Wilbur.) Phil is the one to get Tommy and allegedly Wilbur to join the cult, after the situation Charlie quits his job and joins the gang full time.

In the fifth “episode” where they become painters I think this is where they kinda decide to become criminals, Gretchen and Wilma don’t join the heist, unless Wilma is a trans guy and became Wilbur later.

in the “sixth” episode where they see who is the most lethal is right after they all rob a bank together, they now are wanted and have a urge to get high on adrenaline again so they take it to the extreme and kill/torture people, Charlie takes it to the next level.

in the first “episode” of the second season, they bury Tommy alive. In the canon theory, Tommy isn’t being Tommy. This is just another one of their victims.

of course, this theory could be extremely wrong and I’m wrong as fuck, but it’s still something to think abt :)

edit 1: ep 2 season 2 is abt them running a scam and treating employees terribly Lmaooo
