#he's a brainswasher

[hozaloza]

"God Complex"

C'mon, he's a cult leader and is so close to causing the end of the world....how could this man NOT believe he's the next "messiah" or "god" himself? I've noticed it's sort of a common theme within cults...

And considering history, he's also using the crane as a symbol of fortune and good fortune so his "prophecy" can become true.

He's obsessed with this symbol of luck. No wonder he made pants WITH the crane symbol on them 😭🙏 (ep 30)

Hiii can i request jamil, idia, riddle and leona have to fight with their s/o that been brainwashed (like a gas that brainswash ppl in a gas mask yk srry i cant explain things ;-;) by unknown enemy so they have to fight each other

Idia Shroud:

Horrible situation. Idia hated this trope. That’s not entirely true, watching the MC feel conflicted about fighting their love interest actually added a bit of interest into a story, but reality wasn’t the same. Idia didn’t feel anything ‘fun’ about this situation. Ortho was ready to take you down in an instant but Idia had stopped him, worried about him going overboard and potentially hurting you more than he needed to. He had already started to formulate a plan to overcome the brainwashing to at least subdue you, the only issue is mustering the courage to potentially hurt you himself during the process.

Idia has to tell you about how annoying that situation was after. He started ranting about games that just fell back on popular tropes for the sake of torturing their characters but eventually sighed, saying he had enough for an evening. He didn’t want to leave your side as much as he did want to disappear back into his room, wondering if there was a way to have you just stay in his room with him while you recovered.

Jamil Viper:

Jamil is tired of his bad luck, tired of the only things that brought him joy being taken away from him and then thrown back in his face like it was no big deal. His surprise is clear and for a moment he does think he’s pushed you away too much, that you truly were sick of dealing with someone who would never be able to go after what he wanted. It’s your choice of using magic against him rather than your words (which would cut deeper than any physical wound to him) that showed him there was something more going on, with you being a puppet on strings for some other being. He wondered if his unique magic might steal you away from them but it would be a shot in the dark, since you were aware of his ability (while the ‘you’ in this brainwashed state might not be).

Jamil is frazzled but relieved the situation is over. Looking out for both you AND Kalim was an exhausting feat, and he didn’t know why he added to his never-ending workload. He’s glad you’re back to your normal self, which still seemed to regard him in a positive light, allowing him to push down his worries for the future of your relationship a little bit longer.

Leona Kingscholar:

There’s no one who knew your weaknesses better than Leona but he couldn’t assume this would be a walk in the park. He didn’t intend to hurt you but he’d do what he had to for the sake of this situation ending sooner rather than later. Apologies could always be given after but there’s only so much he could take, seeing you like this, invisible strings attached to your limbs as you’re forced to turn against him. If he had been quicker he would’ve saved you from the invasive feeling of having your body controlled while your consciousness is present, and he forced himself to focus on the task at hand rather than the hell you might be living in as it would only make him angrier.  

Leona didn’t want to talk about it when you were back tomorrow. He hit you with an ‘it is what it is’ and moved on to your wounds, minor as they were there was still some scrapes you couldn’t get away from. You didn’t blame him and he didn’t blame himself, but he’s still not happy about having you turned against him. You were his, after all, and losing your loyalty even temporarily dealt a blow to his ego that he was desperate to keep hidden.

Riddle Rosehearts:

Riddle is alarmed at how quickly the situation escalated, flinching when his words don’t seem to be reaching you. He’s not used to being on the other side of you in a fight, even if you were to practice magic with him it was never with ill intent. He finds himself fighting against being distracted, trying to think of you as a simple misbehaving student who needed to be collared. His unique magic did make it a little easier to wrangle you in but he’s wracked with guilt cutting you off from your magic when it’s not really your own actions that caused you to be punished.

Riddle is wary about talking with you after, until he knows the brainwashing is gone and you’re back to normal. He shuffled around the actual topic he wanted to bring up which was incredibly unlike him, a fact you pointed out before telling him in the kindest words possible to spit it out. He admitted seeing you brainwashed was disconcerted, and that he’d rather never see you as an enemy again. He knew it wasn’t your choice but he’d prefer you stick close to him in the future, just so he could stop the problem before it even began.

the way most of yall getting so comfortable to making disgusting takes about winwin and saying wayv achived because he is not there. first of all prism center really promoted them first time since their career. yall are not different from this sinophobic disgusting company. the way some of yall speaking about him just proving yall are brainswashed losers who do what sm want from you. wayv achived what? a music show? from the nuguest music show? with 8 million youtube ads? didn't even hit 2 million streams on spotify? first tanked in all chinese platforms? company literally purchased hate hot search to keep winwin issue alive to promote wayv comeback but it still tanked there. company announced both statments same day at versace and paris event. but y'all are so busy to talking about winwin. if y'all want wayv as a 5 then focus them, winwin isn't even there then why are you talking about him? he is suffering a lot for months, this is cyberbullying and yall are bunch of bullies.

Perturbated by Astarion saying that Cazador's servants are here out of their own will. They all look and act brainswashed af and deeply traumatized. Cazador probably had someone lured them in with beautiful promises of eternal life and when they realized the hell they stepped in, it was too late to leave. In the end they're victims like Astarion. If I wanted to be petty I'd point out that he also "chose to be here", since he had the """choice""" to die or be turned. Sure it was naive to believe in eternal life, but in the end weren't they chasing after power like Astarion and a lot of other characters do?

"surely he will be in his next life, maybe even Soud!" Toma being an honorary Soud is both insanely racist and a massive step up for Duane "all Crescians are brainswashed demons" Adelier.

Our boy is developing!

[curlyhairedprince]

Louies thinking they’re doing amazing and calling themselves best fans in the world when I truly think they’ve been brainswashed since this is not their job and it’s insane to think like that. Yeah amazing fans but not your job, you don’t have to do charity for a millionaire, hello?? Just watch niall who promotes his things on his own ig profile…he can’t even do that? Trying to engage with I don’t even know anymore this is tiring and seeing that some people still praise lthq..

you know what, at the end of the day I don't wanna blame the fans, because they are doing it cause they genuinely want him to succeed and they just want what's "best for him", but they need to realize that it's not their fucking job, especially not their job to spend money on it. LTHQ needs to do better, they need to stop encouraging that and realize that it's on them, they're just ridiculing themselves by depending on the fans and then acting like they're the best team in the world, when they are doing shit. I don't know if they're just genuinely bad at their job of if they just don't want him to succeed, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if it's the later. There is something so fucking shady going on in his whole industry being.

LTHQ needs to stop taking us for granted and treating us like idiots.

Okay, yet another quote from the JCF, but this one actually sums up an attitude I will never be able to understand:

LFL seeing Adam Driver’s Solo Boy as the “true” male lead 

Finn fans are constantly wanting to know why so many of us see Ben/Kylo as such.

It's because it was the Skywalker Saga.....and he was the last one.

For all DLF's eagerness to push forward with new characters and leave Lucas's legacy behind, the entire nine film saga was about the Skywalkers. It began with Shmi, mother of Anakin, and ended with Ben, her great grandson.

DLF made a fatal mistake in 'villainising' Ben Solo - and also, if they wanted us to forget him, hiring a fine, twice Oscar nominated actor to play him plus giving him a tortured, conflicting soul. As a result of this, they created an antagonist that was far more interesting than their lead character.

Compare Rey - especially in TROS - to Kylo. She is nowhere near as compelling, and their eagerness to show her as so superior ( because she's female and they are anxious to show they aren't sexist), only makes her irritating.

Finn meanwhile, who his fans argue was the 'rightful' male lead, is even less compelling,being little more than comic relief.

The big flaw with the characters of both Rey AND Finn is that they are far too good to be true.

Look at their history.

Rey was sold into slavery at four. She spent the next fifteen years scraping an existence salvaging scrap in return for third rate food rations. Someone like this would grow up with a lot of anger in her. But, instead Disney decided to make her into a 'paragon of virtue' rather than the damaged person she should have been. TFA at least showed her very understandable capacity for darkness, but sadly the following films - even TLJ, which I love - didn't develop this further. At the end of the film it would have been a powerhouse twist if Rey had accepted Ben's hand and joined the FO, believing she could have a positive influence on him. Instead, she flounced off to a Resistance she hardly knew because it was the 'right thing to do'. From there we go to TROS, where Rey is essentially allowed to do what she wants without any consequences.

She faces and conquers her 'dark side' in five minutes - unlike Luke, who took several years, and very nearly fell at the end - only being forcibly reminded that he was on the cusp of becoming exactly like his father stopped him.

She accidentally kills Chewie with Force lightning - only to find out, that 'oh, it's ok, he's on another ship'.

She almost kills Kylo by stabbing him with his own lightsabre while he's unarmed - but they decide to give her healing powers (never canon in the films, and rightly so), so she can get away with that as well.

In short, Rey never really gets to challenge her own capacity for darkness and as such, never fulfils her real potential as a complex and intricate character.

Then we get Finn.

Okay, now why should I mention the tv adaptation of Halo along with SW?

Because this series features a character who shows just what Finn should have been.

Pablo Schreiber's MasterChief (aka John) is exactly like the stormtroopers in the SWST. He was abducted as a young boy, and brainswashed, genetically engineered, and trained to do one thing - kill for the organisation that kidnapped him. Like Finn, MasterChief has an 'epiphany' (in his case, coming into contact with an alien artefact), and it compels him to turn against his conditioning and seek a new life, and a new purpose.

But the big difference is.....unlike Finn, MasterChief has killed. He has served his time as a ruthless assassin, and thus his journey isn't just to gain his freedom, but to regain his humanity.

And he has to earn this.

If Finn had been depicted as such, he would have been an amazing character. Instead, he is a 'virgin soldier' who never shed blood before Jakku. People can argue that DLF, after all, are 'for children'. But, SW has always had a 'dark' edge to it.

Han Solo shot first and I refuse to accept anything else. In ESB, Luke loses his hand - gruesome - and we see Han being tortured. In ANH we see the agonised, burned skeletons of Luke's aunt and uncle. And ROTS....the darkest film of all.....ends with Obi Wan, our hero, dismembering Anakin and leaving him to die in agony.

In DLF's Rogue 1, Cassian Andor is seen shooting an innocent man because he would spill secrets of the Resistance if allowed to live.

SW can do 'dark'....it doesn't have to be X rated, of course, but it can do it. And if they had taken this direction with Finn and Rey...what interesting characters they could have been.

Once again, the ST is so full of failed opportunities it breaks my heart.

And as a footnote....Kylo's backstory and his 'grooming' by Snoke should never have been left for supplementary material.

Trump’s Shooter Reenacted “The Manchurian Candidate.” Was He Brainwashed by Handlers? Or Social Media? - The Vigilant Citizen

[mabelbun]

I decided to make few headcanons about the whole thing with jeremy character since I do see a lot of ppl don't mention him or any type of Storylines going on.. so I wanted to make my own version so yea btw the camera quality got ruined again so Apoplzie if it's not looking too good :/ plus don't worry I still have to ramble about the others too I will try to be more active here soon enough if I didn't get busy and lazy lmao

I usually call him jere since most of the character au's I have right now tend to have their own short nicknames and this version is not a walking zombie guy or anything else I prefer to say the least is he intentionally faked his own death so Faz.Ent company wouldn't know what had happened to him instead of cutting his face off by a paper slicer he did get Brainswashed by malhare's control ( in my au I think this suits him more often than ' glitchtrap ' name 💀)

• he also has been friends along side nick and the other Fazbear Employees which makes came to be the next beta testers before Vanessa came around both of them were two Technicians and had big knowledge about repairing and fixing the animatronics though

• he doesn't have any remnant or agony itself which makes sense Jere isn't an Afton memeber after all his brain head had big major memory loss and doesn't remember his real name or any of his friends when he used to hangout with them but Vanny/Ness actions had led him to become abandoned by her mistakes knowing that she left him to suffer more and didn't help him by his side when he needed her the most to get rid of the Glitch virus in the VR Game who was trying to control his mind eventually

• Willie bunny is an Design nickname for Jeremy to hide his own real identity making him become one of the main villains his only role was to follow Malhare's and do his bidding also taking revenge and seeking vengeance towards her specifically and became the next reluctant Follower

[ultimatecutenesspeaks]
