#hanging mention cw

[rosebridal]

narrative foil antagonism at its best

[curlygrant44]

Tick tock.

Tick tock.

He can practically feel the time ticking away as he runs, breathless, lungs burning, focus narrowed to the single point ahead of him, waiting for a familiar door to come into view as he rounds yet another corner-

(cw: hanging, corpse mention, minor gore)

The door is broken, window smashed, left ajar.

Glass on the floor, and a discarded crowbar.

And familiar dark-colored shoes, with the hem of a navy blue Pony Express-issued jumpsuit visible.

Danging, motionless, in the air- he feels like he's going to be sick, barely chokes back the urge to vomit, because he knows what he's going to see.

Somehow, it's still worse than he imagined. One glance up at Jimmy's face is almost more than he can take, and he has to lean against the wall, dry heaving, for a few seconds before he can compose himself enough again to fish the knife out of his own jumpsuit.

He was never any good with knots, so while it takes some time to saw through the rope, it still feels like the more expedient option.

Is it?

Who knows.

All Curly can tell right now is that he has to do this, has to keep going, because if Sunshine is coming here, he's going to see this, and then he's going to-

He doesn't know what's going to happen then, actually; Sunshine is still a mystery to him.

But, god, he's not going to let him suffer through this. As much as he hates Jimmy, as much as he'd like to be able to take satisfaction in this end, it feels...gruesome. Cruel. A bullet would've worked just as well, and he knows that both their guests carry, he's noticed that much.

How can he make Sunshine see something that, in his mind, never should have happened? They could've made it cleaner. Faster. Easier.

Right?

Couldn't they?

Shouldn't they? Didn't Jimmy deserve better? He's not wrong for thinking that, is he? Is he? Is he wrong?

The rope thins, frays, starts to unwind itself, ready to snap-

Something in him snaps with it.

And he holds his breath as the wet, sickening thud of meat -- nothing but limp, lifeless meat that happens to wear the face of the person who always meant the most to him -- hitting the floor echoes through the cockpit and down the hall.

The back of his neck prickles suddenly, and he jerks his head up, peering out the still open, still broken, door.

I WAS PISSED OFF ON AN AOT TWITTER TAKE AND I STARTED RAGE RAMBLING LOL

I disrespect this opinion and throw it into the most stinky, wet trash can I could find.

STOP SAYING HANGE COMMITTED SUICIDE. OMG what they did wasn't suicide. They fought until their very last breath to give their team enough time. They tried to stay alive as long as they can and FIGHT, even when burning alive. They died a martyr. I know in the end, it's just wording but it still irks me to see people say this about Hange's last stand! Also, Hange is non-binary. Use they/them for the character even though I know in the anime, from what I could remember, they were considered a woman (?) I am not sure tho. It's been a while.

Levi's presence in the rumbling arc was unnecessary??? Did we watch the same episodes?? Read the same story?? Some people think the only way a character contributes to the battlefield is by fighting and fighting alone. Mind you, Levi kept the whole team going with his quick wits, presence of mind, and rapid and firm decision making. He kept the team alive. He basically became the "commander" of SC for the battle of heaven and earth. And mind you, HE DID DO THE BATTLING TOO DESPITE BEING HALF DEAD AND LOOKING LIKE A SMASHED PUMPKIN (a cute pumpkin tho).

We see a whole different side of Levi who isn't just a war machine. We saw how he used his mind on the field to still be a huge threat to the enemy. Erwin didn't go crazy after him just because he is only the muscle. Levi is a whole package. And yes, he isn't the ✨ main character ✨ and that's because he IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE. That's what the og trio is there for. AoT is mostly the story of Eren, Armin and Mikasa. Levi is a side character who could have been a generic badass edgy cool anime character. But he became so much more, while still staying relevant to the larger narratives without hogging the limelight from the main characters. He has really good writing behind him. And that remained consistent imo. Yes. Even during the rumbling arc. He was basically maimed and injured, looking like a pretty Frankenstein monster twink ass and they kept how being a pretty Frankenstein monster twink ass hindered his physical ability. And he compensated for that through his leadership skills.

Like, come on, I get disliking Levi (even though I will question your taste). But saying his entire presence was useless...ummm I would have to disagree with you. With full offense.

urge to give my version of venus a facial difference cause it would be rad vs knowledge that doing so with a character whose canon character design prominently involves wearing a mask is not exactly a good trope to perpetuate

Is it fine to talk about certain scars now?

................. Which ones. Guessing, for thematic sake, you mean these?

[gestures to his top scars]

I, uh, guess so. Pfft.

So, a little recap-- born in Italy, moved over here when I was 16. Shit happened at 19. Came back when I was 24.

[TW FOR MENTIONS OF CHILD ABUSE, WAR, GENERAL UNPLEASANT QUEER EXPERIENCE STUFF, TRANSPHOBIA + HOMOPHOBIA]

We lived in a super-rural area when I was a kid, so I had no idea what all of that was about. I'd find myself doing things that boys would do and I'd get slapped around for it, or never really liking girls. All my friends were boys. I had a lot of body hair for my age. It was weird to my family.

I got a taste of big-town culture from my cousins and uncles and aunts; they're eccentric, and I'm pretty sure one of my aunts was gay (she never married). I got along with her pretty well, but god, my madre hated her, pretty sure. Haven't seen her in a long time.

Bottom line, I was the "weird kid" of the family, so my parents figured (Also as Italians) to give me a brother and sister, see if they could socialize me properly. Maybe they fucked up the first time. Worth a shot, right?

While my madre was pregnant with my brother, we moved here. Maybe city life would do me good. I was thrust into a highschool barely knowing any English, and naturally flocked to the outcasts and socially awkward weirdos that would get tossed around by bullies and such. It was brutal. I met a girl that disguised herself as a boy and went by a boy's name. I met a boy that had a crush on one of the bigger boys of the school. It was a bunch of new experiences that... for some reason, even with my upbringing, didn't feel foreign or weird. It suddenly aligned with me, and I didn't really think about it until I looked in the mirror one day and wanted to throw up at how I looked. I tried dating a girl I got along with. Being a teenager sucks. That shit hits you like a truck and bleeds like an open wound that you have no idea how to stop.

Not that I had the time to find a way. I did bad in school, got held back a few years, and within that time aggressively took my identity into my own hands-- I'm not who my parents thought I was, I hated my name, I hated them, I hated everything. I got quiet. I hated myself because I wasn't the easy, good-grade getting child that was born loving the body it was in.

One day, my dad gets me alone. He asked me what I wanted to do after High School. I said art. He asked me again. I said art. He said that was the wrong answer. I asked him what he wanted me to say instead.

"If you really don't believe you're a girl, then it's time to be a man."

I thought this had good intentions until I was at the front door of bootcamp with some fresh scars on my chest, a few years of testosterone, and...

[sighs]

...

Uh, what was I-- right.

Right, yeah, I was pretty much fully out a few years after I was... discharged. I had a fling with Anton. A few women. Some men. Tried the bisexual label for a bit but found out I was just a full-on homosexual.

...Did I get the surgery before or-- no, I think I...

[blanks out for a few minutes]

...[scratches his head] I-- sorry, I think I got something mixed up. I think I got top surgery after 'all of that'. Shit's scrambled in here.

...

...Right-- I was a fully out transsexual gay man by... I think I was 35? It wasn't a huge focus of mine though since I wanted to try and start my own business. My family knew hard they fucked up with me so they kept their distance-- I let them know how much they failed me (after many years of thinking I was the screwup). Eventually they started using my new name. It was sudden, and there were no apologies.

I couldn't get my art degree, sssooo... Peppino's Pizza it is. Yippee.

Met Gus a year or so after I opened it, connected with a few of the Italian community on the outskirts of the city, uh... then I...

[pauses again]

--Sorry, this, uh, wasn't a really happy story, but I just. Wanted to say that it was worth keeping myself alive to see myself big, fat, hairy, balding, and smiling in the body I've got now. And happy with the men I've decided to let into my life to love me and this body. It's...

It's something. Better than nothing. I understand that now.

Not paying you shit so you can waste it on weed

so you come into MY house, tell me what to do with my life, then imply i waste donations on weed. who even are you? do you know how weird it is to rock up to strangers anonymously to be a cunt? do you want to kiss

[sams-whumping-ground]

I need advice. But before that:

Trigger warnings for mentions of hanging.

Firstly, I'm going to introduce you guys to my newest D&D character. His name is Crow, he's a changeling rogue. I haven't written, his backstory yet and we're going to be playing session 3 this Sunday (and I should probably write it before we get like 15 sessions in). Also ignore the random dark patch on his coat's right arm it was an error I didn't see until it was a little too late.

But there's a problem. He has a total of three scars. One is hidden by his cowl on his neck and the two on his face.

I know where the one on his neck came from. He was hanged for the crime of being associated with a group of rogues, however, he hadn't carried out any assassinations as part of that group at that time. He was sold out by his associate he was going to meet. This has also scarred him with the fact he has been rendered mute from the physical trauma to his throat.

I don't, however, know how he got the two on his face. I'm tempted to say it's from struggling during his arrest, but I don't even know how that would have happened.

If any of you have some ideas, I'd be grateful!

Once I've worked it out I might write out a snippet from his backstory or even write his enite backstory here.
