#he really likes that microwave

[nekochan08]

France sleepwalking head canons

I read somewhere in one of the old comics that he might sleep walk sometimes 🤷🏻‍♀️

-Probably sleep cooks but doesn’t actually cook. Just sets out food on the counter as if he’s going to cook but it’s random ingredients (salt, cheese, oranges, a can opener)

-Sleep showering is probably the most common thing he does right up there with the sleep cooking. Has woken up laying in the shower with the water running.

-Has woken himself up because he kept running into a door. Not the first time that’s happened.

-Dreamt that he had to do laundry and woke up with all his bed sheets balled up in his arms because he stripped his entire bed in his sleep.

-Has been found having a conversation with the microwave about wine at 2am. Then patted the top of the microwave and went back to bed.

-Woken up mid convo while ON THE PHONE with random people. He’s probably slept called England a couple of times. Has dialed the numbers on the microwave as if it’s a phone.

-Has sat up straight in bed and said “Mon Dieu, you scared me!” to absolutely no one in a startled voice, then went back to sleep.

-He’s stayed at Spain’s house one night and stole all of his clothes out of the closet and scattered them throughout his living room.

-Prussia has no time for that so whenever France stays over, he ties him to the bed with bungee cords. This works most of the time.

If he regularly sleeps naked then these would be wild encounters, huh?

Me 2 years ago: i love the bonds the demigods share with each other & some with Radagon/Godfrey/Rennala, but it’s kinda sad no one seems to be particularly insane about Marika :(

Fromsoft pre-heating Messmer in the oven: hey-

this image has changed the trajectory of my life

like, it might not be apparent before but i've never been normal about Marika for one bit... so a demigod with a whole ass giant statue of her cradling a baby in his boss room (also, that's the most LOVING depiction of Marika so far in the entire game) + the first one to outright calling her Mother ?? M A N

also all the “unwanted child” thing is pure fan speculation so far. no one in canon is saying he's unwanted. yes he carries all the symbols that are against the Erdtree but have you considered ...... they are trophies ....... of all the forces he had slayed to protect his Mother ...... how about that .........

EDIT to add that the throne he’s sitting on in the poster is actually also in the boss room, it’s just tiny af against the gigantic Marika statue behind it.

What’s his deal that is so insane … just a lil guy chilling in front of a colossal statue of his mom cradling baby him

there's that fucked up three-eyed thing that lives in the woods. whose turn is it to chase it off again??

Something that has been on my mind is what Kaz says to Nina at the end of Crooked Kingdom about Matthias's share of their money. He offers Nina that share, and then says, "I know it doesn't matter".

Kaz, who has spent this entire series insisting to the others that kruge means retribution, safety, success, comfort, and thus is the driving factor in his life, is sort of accidentally revealing how little he believes it. He knows Nina disapproves of his purported obsession with profit and is not motivated by money, and he also knows from personal experience that no matter how much he insists otherwise, having money will not fix what has happened to you. Maybe it will kind of buy you retribution or a degree of safety, but it will never bring back who you lost - it's too late for that. Kruge is a shitty consolation prize, and Kaz knows it. This is the only time he explicitly lets it on to the others - as emotionally constipated as he might act, he knows Nina's pain and knows that even suggesting that money would in any way fix it would be an insult.

ive been rotating a tng modern au in my head for a few days now. look at my sillies. look at em 🗣🗣

also i made lore gnc because uhh i think he would be if given the opportunity

Please....talk more about objectum ink... I'm interested..

projecting really really hard but I think not only do they personalize objects and talk to them and has a different and complex relationship to each of their plushies, figurines, and object that he has a history with.

but also has a thing for big hulking machinery, or things like radio towers and electric polls and the like

this is probably the coolest thing for ink. he wants to be tangled in those wires SO BAD. number on guy in the hugging computers competition.

I think he sees something 'holy' in machines, which makes sense, cuz I have this hc in my head that creators are interlinked with machinery and computers and such. but also I think if he keeps thinking about his toaster too hard he would start wanting it.

speaking of which, did u guys remember his little radio? that he hears the creators with? his relationship to that radio makes me go crazy.

that radio is the personification of the very beings he loves dearly. it is the most normal everyday object there is, yet it speaks his gods' words, that object is an actual holy artifact to him.

but it is also the very personification of the extremely unbalanced power imbalance between ink and the creators, as the radio is a one way communication line that only transmets what the creators say and not ink's, showing how little ink matters for his words to not even reach the creators. yet he doesn't see that, cuz that radio is everything to him. and he wants it so bad.

Okay I need to write something abt Ivy's brain overheating n starting to cook her head bc it overworks and there's no way there's enough space in her super computer brain for an efficient cooling system combined with Tim involuntarily salivating and feeling hungry when he smells burning flesh as a hold over from eating corpses during the Moon War. This is no longer a want it is a need.

yeah fuck it i'm making this its own post. basically very long winded (but still not as extensively detailed as i'd like) thoughts on adam & ronan (sort of) & whelk & noah

i remember reading the raven boys back in 2014 (ten years of rot in my brain!) and being sooo disappointed that there was basically zero fandom interest in whelk & noah beyond "omg whelk is evil and awful and terrible, poor baby noah!" when that is not the narrative surrounding them, not really. i feel it's a disservice to both of their characters to do that, especially noah's:

there is nuance there. there are implications. like... it's ALL about the implications!!! we basically see nothing of whelk and noah beyond what's left after the carnage. and it's a theme in trc for characters to have irreparably changed before we ever meet them (gansey, ronan, whelk, noah). we don't know what they were actually like when noah was alive, when they were best friends. when they were tight as ticks.

what we do know is this: whelk was noah's gansey. whelk was cheating on his own girlfriend with noah's, which is a shitty thing to do for sure, but something we also have zero context for. we also don't know how true it is, because whelk has such a self-inflicted warped view of his past. he keeps rewriting his own memories to think lesser of noah, because his absence hurts that much! we know they were best friends, the same way adam & ronan are best friends with gansey. we know they did everything together

okay, changing gears a little.

i'll paste the part where adam is possessed, sorry for the amount of screenshots:

and this line from a bit further along the chapter:

then, from noah's possession scene:

compare this to whelk's recollection of killing noah, and the effects it had on him:

"red lines streaked in the corners of his vision" "in whelk's head, unearthly voices hissed and whispered, words blurred and stretched together" "dictated by something larger and more powerful than himself" "somehow invited into his body through czerny's death" yes i am going there, yes i am making that point. i think, to some extent, barrington was possessed when he murdered his best friend. neither noah nor adam get their own pov while possessed, so...

i mean, time is a circle. noah needed to die so that gansey would live. noah had already died, gansey had already lived. it needed to happen, and so it would.

where the difference lies, i think, is in barrington's reaction to being possessed, versus adam/noah. for all that i'm arguing possession, i don't think barry's a stand up guy, he's a kid who's never had good role models (need i pull out the quotes about his shit parents) and who was raised by money and objects and reputation, which is why i think the possession worked. the idea to kill noah might've seemed like his own in the moment, an escalation of the situation he was already in, but unlike adam/noah there was no one to hold him back (not to mention barrington isn't as familiar with magic things(?) as they are). in that moment, whelk did truly lost it. he did the unforgivable. but there is no universe in which he doesn't.

for every time we see noah reenacting his death, we also need to imagine barrington whelk, seventeen and shivering. realizing as he's committing the act that he can't go back. perhaps realizing too that he couldn't stop his hands from gripping onto that skateboard, no matter how much he wanted to after that first hit. ("But instead, he remembered the sound Czerny made the first time he hit him.")

there's also adam in this. both him as a parallel to barrington, and as a strange sort of part of noah in a way. adam and noah interact the least out of the main group, arguably, but they too are a two-headed creature; they started out as one singular character and you can sort of tell. something something hands and eyes, something something sacrifice. ronan sort of parallels noah, in that he is not the same lively person we hear about, and he never will be that person again. both are cabeswater personified (although in different ways).

some more things:

"he once had been tight as ticks with his roommate czerny" "only whelk and czerny, treasure hunters and troublemakers" "it was possible that czerny's death wasn't for nothing after all" "[...] his days a ribbon floating aimlessly in water" (in relation to: "he had been a swimmer himself, once") "czerny, you're in a better place than me, i think" "whelk, standing in the wreckage of his life, didn't laugh this time" "the dry, half-eaten burger on the passenger seat / the first fast-food burger he'd had in seven years" "these days, when whelk was trying to comfort himself, he told himself that czerny was a sheep, but sometimes he slipped and remembered him as loyal instead" "[...] took him back to that moment, the skateboard in his hands, the sad question gasped in czerny's dying sounds "we were friends like —"

also, whelk dying in the same place noah did. these lines:

both noah and barrington look the same in the end. broken, rumpled, forgotten. noah's family will never know his bones were reburied outside of their family plot. whelk's mother, however distant she is, will never be notified that her son has died. i think in a way barrington died at the exact same time noah did; something something invited into his body through czerny's death.

basically what i'm getting at is, noah and barry could've been ronan and adam i think, had the circumstances been different. they never will be, but i think about it sometimes.

and there's so many more things i'm not even gonna TRY going into, like noah and whelk both being parallels to gansey (the three of them kings in their own right), or the disparity between whelk talking about czerny vs adele talking about noah, or whatever the fuck is going on with whelk's backstory in general (what's the deal with his mother? how the hell did he get the aglionby job? a random headcanon of mine is that his and noah's search for the ley line lead them to fox way, seven years before the events of the book, and that's partly why whelk refuses to give out his name to maura, because barrington is hard to forget, and easy to trace back)

there is so much to talk about here and i'm so peeved no one is doing it properly... why are we still talking about declan bringing his weekly girlfriend over to monmouth for no reason when we could be talking about whatever the fuck kinda soul-fate-destiny bullshit noah and whelk have!

You see there are two versions of Lost Boys in my head

Percy and Jacob connect over their similar pasts and end up in a happy sweet and loving relationship where they work through their individual struggles together and get better

Percy, who is a fucked up little shit with no self awareness or half decent communication skills, meets a cute guy who’s into him and thinks to himself “hey, this’ll be a great distraction from the fucked up mess that was my last relationship.” He unintentionally leads Jacob on for multiple months, and it ends up going down like the towers on 9/11
