A Defense of Benny Gecko
Benny is more of a capable leader and person than people give him credit for.
Seeing as no one challenged his position as head Chairmen for 7 years and even then he only loses the position if he’s caught, killed or forced to leave. Yes, it’s also likely House wouldn’t have allowed him to be killed but he sure as hell would of found a way to remove him if he was causing too much unrest within The Tops power structure. Even Swank and Tommy don’t outright dislike him and more so are concerned with his recent secretive and shady behavior, emphasis on recent.
Taking all we know into consideration, Benny likely knew the future direction that he wanted to take Vegas but was so caught up in the plans to acquire Vegas that he didn’t think of how to make his dream a reality. Something he admits to in canon. I see this being used as the main argument that Benny doesn’t know what he’s doing at all but I see it more in the same vein as you can’t really plan something from nothing. The transformation of Vegas is a sensitive thing that he can’t really work on until he has it. The only reason he ran to the Fort prematurely is the Courier who was causing so much of a stir he would’ve likely been found out much faster, making all that planning for nothing if he didn’t take that chance.
Benny is careful (well a lot more careful than he is regularly depicted in fanon), the Courier being able to trace him was dumb luck on their part and his hair being noticed at the Fort is a realistically small oversight that even Caesar is disappointed in because he admits Benny got farther than he should’ve been allowed by his legionaries. The fact he can plan an ambush on the Courier or tries to quickly and concisely clean up lose ends that don’t lead back to him shows he’s not just acting on impulses or in the moment decisions. Or rather he’s quite good at thinking them out, whether they work depends on how you play really. This is all to say it’s 100% believable that Benny could lead an independent Vegas (house was basically setting him up to do that). If he had known explicitly that House was setting him up to replace him, he likely would’ve bought more time by getting in closer, learning more of the system to then flip House’s edge to his favor. Again something he was doing already but likely without the knowledge of House’s feelings on him personally.
No matter what, Vegas’ future was tied to Benny; House’s plans for him, having to get the chip and if he had somehow succeeded. It’s also interesting that of all the people vying for control of the dam/Vegas, Benny’s plans are the only ones actually oriented towards a new future, not a recreation of something long past.
#something something despite going against you Benny has the most in common with an independent player#he’s just like an asshole and also knows when he’s no longer in the driver seat so he leaves it to you#cause despite all his lame traits Benny got supper far in his plan and likely could’ve done it if the courier never got involved#if he didn’t have the need to run to the fort he would’ve waited to learn what the chip did and then made a more direct plan but when a big#clue to what he’s been up to cough the courier cough came he had to throw caution to the wind#this is sorta related to why house chose Benny and his plans for Benny cause likely the rest of house plans were gonna be#about getting Benny to adopt his ideals and views on Vegas before testing whether Benny could run it like him#and would’ve likely been proud of all the planning Benny did for Yes Man if it wasn’t for it being against him#all I can imagine is like Benny being more disappointed than anything with how house decided to run things and he holds nothing personal#towards house this is a necessity as house will never give up control kinda like bingo but I feel like Benny at least respected Bingo#something something bingo could’ve been a father figure making killing him more of a reason Benny would go against house cause he murders#a potential parental figure thinking it’s what he has to do for the betterment of his tribe only to feel like he led them to stagnation and#a longing for days gone by cause the guy who filled ur head with glittery promises ain’t sparkling no more#and makes the resistance to a parental house make more sense#fallout#fallout new vegas#benny gecko#benny fnv

While I love the storyline where Alfred was there from day one and helped raise Bruce, I think the original where he’s just some guy who shows up one day and Bruce and Dick just have to cope is extremely funny
#Alfred belongs in the family because he really is just as insane as the rest of them#he just knocked on their door and said I live here now#and both dick and Bruce are like ???#but then he learns their secret and he’s like cool!#I can also be a great detective!#and he isn’t but he really good at getting things accidentally#give me weirdo Alfred that becomes the respected father figure over time#and all the younger robins know him as the family butler who been there ages and knows Bruce better than anyone#and they’re like it’s really great he had someone when he was younger#and then they find out that’s not true#he was just a guy that showed up#and forced his way into the family#a lot like the rest of them#but it still absolutely throws them for a loop#so they try not to think about it too hard#can you imagine Gordon??#oh Bruce I didn’t know your family had a butler#oh we didn’t he just showed up one day#Gordon: ????#the fact that dick was part of Bruce’s life first#is something so personal to me#and the fact that he was there watching Alfred break and enter his way into the family#is something so funny to me#batman comics#batman#bruce wayne#dick grayson#alfred pennyworth

i love how possessive shin yoosung is right out of the gate. like she met kim dokja, what, a couple days ago? but as soon as she sees lee gilyoung she's ready for the thunderdome. babe you don't need to compete with this guy...kim dokja knew him first but did he make lee gilyoung his incarnation? no. he chose you. within hours of meeting you. you could be sooo smug about this but instead you're growling and hissing like a feral kitten. and it's not like kim dokja is much better...he's not possessive but he's all worried that she'll see yoo joonghyuk and go starry-eyed and forget all about her poor ol' sponsor. you're both ridiculous! nobody is a threat to the love you have for each other. dumbasses lol.
#shin yoosung's possessiveness is so endearing to me because the rest of this story is like. completely devoid of any kind of#exclusive possessiveness...like these people love each other so much but never in a way that precludes them from loving#anybody else. and then we have shin yoosung who's ready to throw down on day 1#and it's not that kdj loves her more than he loves lgy! it's just that lgy is clearly not a threat to her in securing kdj's affection#if anybody should be possessive it should be lgy. and we can't really know how he would have reacted if she hadn't started#the rivalry...but i bet if she had been chill he would have just been like hi wanna see a cool bug?? It's Free Sister#but instead they have this adorable little rivalry over their father figure#orv#omniscient reader's viewpoint#kdj#sys#lgy#my posts#idk will i ever stop thinking about kim dokja and shin yoosung? signs point to not fucking likely

Considering the. Ahem. Ways this year has gone, I've not been thinking about it all that much, but. I did start this year with the motto of Year Of Unfucking My Life. With a few goals involved in that.
I got an official adhd diagnosis, as well as a diagnosis for PCOS. Other diagnoses in progress. Gotten adhd meds and birth control to regulate periods. I've gone back to school and I'm keeping up with it better than ever before. I've even been working on practicing driving, something I've been largely neglecting since I first got my driving permit, um... 11 years ago...
I just need to actually Get my license. And I need to get it before the end of the year. If I can accomplish that, then I'll say the Year Of Unfucking My Life was successful.
#speculation nation#i had some pretty major negative And positive influences for this goal of mine.#primary negative influence of course being my dad abruptly dying.#but that also led to the primary positive influence of the life insurance payout that's letting me just focus on school for my final year.#it's like a monkey's paw curl kind of moment. i got a genuinely astounding amount of money#more than enough to live off for a year+ and pay off the rest of my schooling.#with this i have finally exited the purgatory of part time school full time work to pay my way through school#a setup that led to endless stress (both physically and mentally) and suffering grades.#failing some classes and taking longer bc part time Anyways. locking me into years and years of this perpetual fucking Hell.#ive escaped it. school is so so so much more manageable when i dont have to work a job. im actually keeping up with my assignments.#for once theres no uncertainty about passing any of my classes. i Will pass them all. and i expect As in most if not all of them.#it's been fucking Amazing. everything i couldve wanted. and it came with the low low cost of losing my father when i was only 26.#... 'low' being sarcastic here of course. he was the 2nd worst person i couldve lost in my life. second only to my sister.#the 2nd worst grief i will Ever experience. bc he was my Good parent. hes the very reason i have a future at All.#and losing him fucked me up Severely. im still working on recovering. i kind of figure i always Will be.#thank god id already been taking spring semester off bc that would've been Horrible to go thru while in school.#i honestly probably would've just withdrawn from the semester. theres no Way id have kept up with it#given how damned BUSY those first few weeks after were. between funeral prep and inventorying and packing up his house.#so fucking much involved in settling an estate. and im the lucky one in that my sister's been handling all the legal shit.#so i simultaneously was dealt one of the most severe blows i ever Will be dealt#while also being given probably the biggest boost i'll ever get in my life.#if everything goes well with graduating and getting an IT job then i'll never want for money again.#considering there was a time early last year when i got as low as literally $7 in my bank account. this is a pretty big deal.#it's just... strange. the ways things go in life. this has been a very strange year for me.#just doing my best to use this boost to the best of my ability. even if it feels like im taking advantage of his death.#it's what he wouldve wanted me to do.

still crazy that bede's gym leader outfit is just straight up the trans flag
#like not even different shades of blue pink and white#it looks like it was just straight up color picked 😭#i struggled a lot back in the day on what my hc for bede was. as in which way he was trans lol#i think nowadays i err more towards transfem bede#this kid is so desperate for approval from his neglectful father figure and goes around bragging to everyone he#meets bcuz he HAS to be the best or else no one will care about him. until ofc he finally gets out of that#mentality and is able to start unlearning it and become better via opal's guidance#and this change in him for the better is represented in his outfit changing. to the trans one#for sure he was a messy little uncracked egg going around being shitty#and then he realized he was a girl alongside the rest of the healing journey. this is true (to me)#serena.txt#also now that im thinking about it in this context yeah you cant tell me his#stupid ass outfit w the long purple coat and shit isnt the most baby transfem fit ever LMAO

i truly and honestly believe that it would have been much funnier if snw had spock just. 100% miss out on anything crazy that happened. time travel shenanigans? he was in the lab. ship invaded? meditating. gets split into two separate versions of himself? no wonder reports were getting done twice as fast!
man has the most normal and boring starship tour of his life up until the events of the cage happen, remains totally unimpressed with humans and the federation in general, and then hops aboard with kirk and experiences the most batshit five years of his whole life
#of course he still considers pike a father figure#but that's because pike always checks up on him after something suitably bugnuts has gone down#(partially to see if he's okay and also just to see if he even noticed)#spock of course having no idea that anything happened at all: 'wow he genuinely likes me! and cares about me!'#'i'm sure no one almost died :)'#meanwhile the rest of the crew is shaking as they pour their morning coffees bc mirror sam kirk tried to blow up the universe or something#and spock's like 'that was a fascinating treatise you wrote on interdimensional diplomacy uhura :) if only it were plausible'#uhura: buster if you don't get your fancy lyre and play me a soothing little ditty right now i will end your career#idk i think it would be VERY funny if he just had the most normal time before he met kirk and that's when it all fell apart#also we'd get more episodes to focus on the characters we've never actually gotten any material for. what a concept#(i love spock but he's had Movies about his life by now. give me la'an in the roaring 20s i dare you)#star trek#strange new worlds#spock#oxly hollers

Cassidy is an important roll in the first timeline as she's the one who kept William 'alive'. Refusing to move on, and basically dragging down all the other spirits. In spiritual form Cassidy, and Charlie where always antagonistic with each other. Especially when Charlie had convinced the other children to move on, even Evan wanted to move on which felt like a betrayal. Though unlike the other spirits Evan is forcefully connected to Cassidy so he couldn't just choose to move on himself she would have to agree too. They are practically melted together in a twisted form of one spirit and as you can imagine she refused.
They don't have their bodies in the suits like the others. One is buried in a cemetery and Cassidy's body is in an unmarked grave in the forest somewhere. So they had started to melt together into one being of course Cassidy's spirit was the strongest having been the newest kill at the time while Evan had been dead for a while.
Cassidy's hate is enough to keep William here (along with all the other dead children) and twist his form until his very soul is splintering, turning into off shoots of who he was. Due to this William doesn't really remember much of what his splinters did. He might have faint memories, or a sense of Déjà vu but the splinter he remembers the most is the one he was remade (put back together) with aka pit spring bonnie.
I see Cassidy as an accidental kill. The one that sort of kick started William's blood lust. He had been drunk driving and hit her while she was walking around at night. The thing is, she didn't die on impact she was still alive. And as you can imagine Will had a lot to lose if he was caught so he took her to the forest to bury her body. There's so much hate and agony because he basically buried her alive.
Second timeline William gains her trust, calls child protective service, and makes sure she gets put with a foster family that he has an in with. All so he can be a lil freak, and keep his new protegee around.
#stir crazy au#fnaf au#**explodes**#Charlie's spirit is just frantically trying to reach out to Cassidy and try to do something anything for her to let go#I think there's some miscommunication between the two where Cassidy thinks charlie is trying to get her to forgive william#or she sees letting william rest as forgiveness; forgiving him of his crimes and such which she refuses#while charlie is just like IM SICK AN TIRED OF BEING HERE AND SEEING HIS ASS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#LET GO SO WE CAN REST !!!!!!!!! SO WE DON'T HAVE TO KEEP LIVING THE WORST MOMENTS OF OUR LIVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN#god this is agony#anyway yeah thats it thankks for reading my post boy#ewww he's seen as the ultimate father figure by the rest of the town i hate him#no one would ever suspect he was this monstrous being EWWW I AHTE HIM#*crying as i rock back and forth*

getting a handle on mavis is kinda 😵💫 bc on the one hand she's an empath (literally) and is shown to generally have more emotional intelligence/maturity than dr🅰️x/nebs/rocket combined, but at the same time she apparently saw no problem at all whatsoever w kidnapping kevin 🥓 for peter 😭 which is like???? i mean maybe those two things can be true at the same time but like... How. 😭 is she an empath or is she okay w taking people against their will to give as a present to her brother ?
#just some thoughts b4 bed...#ooc.#james 🔫 leaving me to have to make sense of this all like ok thanks#i do think she's somewhat Stunted in regards to social behaviour that's considered acceptable or appropriate#bc for most of her life she lived on ego's planet w literally nobody else but him and his children (her half siblings) that he kept killing#he straight up didnt even acknowledge he was her father. he had her call him Master. so like... yeah. no parenting done there#but she gets Most of that sorted out when she meets the guardians i think#(like basically she figures out how Not to act by looking at dr🅰️x and 🚀 lol)#im also 100% sure gam🅾️ra would've taught her some things woman to woman (my girl i'll avenge u from what goftg3 did to u)#so u would THINK w/ all that mavis would think twice before just straight up kidnapping a guy. but No#im gna say this is bc mavis kinda has a one track mind. what she knows is that peter is sad and she wants to cheer him up#dr🪓 gives her a solution: get peter his fave hero#she goes yay! and is so fixated on that part of it that she doesn't stop to consider the consequences#bc kevin is just. part of the goal at this point and not a person#so she's always. Always well intentioned. just sometimes doesn't think about all the angles as much as she should#does that make sense? i hope so. imc rying#well intentioned but doing fucked up things also applies to that scene where she erases dra❌'s memory#bc he's sad!!!!!!! he was hurt by something she said so she wanted to take it away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#but she just went and took his memory of it without asking without even stopping to think if she should and that's#beautiful to me bc mavis is sweet and empathetic and she LOVES him just like she does all the other guardians#but she's fucked up too!!!!!! like the rest of them!!! just in different ways and i Love that in a woman#anyway. god. ive spoken too much in the tags. apparently i have a lot of feelings about this

once again can't sleep because I'm thinking of all the ways the x files could have been a better show. alas
#i will be getting 5 hrs of sleep max tonight :')#I'm just so mad that scully's internal conflict is introduced as her feeling guilt about following her ambitions to work at the FBI#instead of going into medicine like her father wanted. and they did one really good episode about this.#and then decided that her main internal conflict for the rest of the series would be Her Uterus.#like the whole theme of the show is that searching for the truth can make you feel even more uncertain about everything in your life#and i feel like her uncertainty about & commitment to following her ambition despite what authority figures want#would make a lot of sense both for her character and the story. it's crazy that they set all that potential up & then decided to ignore it#another thing that pisses me off is how little characterization Samantha gets. like she's just The Dead Sister.#personally i think it would be really interesting to have her only described thru Mulder's recollection because there's always a bit of#doubt over whether she was really abducted so i think it would make the viewer ask the same question as everyone else in the show--#am i really going to trust this guy? is he a reliable narrator or just crazy?#is he a reliable narrator of his own insanity but not necessarily reality?#auhg I'm so mad. they did such a good job of making interesting and compelling characters and didn't give them the storylines they deserved

Do you consider any of the non protagonist yakuza girls well writen?
I think none of them had rights
#Thanks for the ask !#like you have to actively like girls to notice them theyre inconsequential#also who is this why are you sewing discorse in my inbox#i spelled discourse wrong. my mom ordered the dog trainers to train ollie right now because he is insane and hes eating soo many treats#not because hes a good boy but because they are tossing that shit at him#they were literally almost there with yasuko#i thought her story was so fucking interesting ...#like its really not a fault of the girls they are all pretty good characters in their own right#like we have a variety of them too. we had miss tatsu who was out there turning guys inside out but she randomly had to go get kidnapped in#order to complete kiryus training arc. like how funny would it be for the whole thing to be staged and miss tatsus like Lol good job kiryu#for passing my test. oh this guy ? yeah he did get the better of me but i kicked the shit out of him then roped him into my schemes. dont#you think practical application is more effective than training ? anyway theres nothing more i can teach you but you can come train whenevr#we didnt even get an in game appearance for yuko but apparently she was a massive troll but too cute to get into any real trouble#mirei was. . . i literally said ‘are you kidding me’ when they revealed what happened to her like seriously ? is this real ? they did#that ? like literally she should have been living it up in cahoots with katsuya and being so sexy and divorced forever. she should have#faked her death because every single parentsl figure haruka had leaves her. and god haruka like honest to god i love that she just ran off#like that i thought it was so kiryu of her to be an absent father. but also my friends have all brought up very good points which is that#haruka should NOT have gone back to morning glory like she should have stayed in ono michi with her loser girlfriend whos a boyfriend with#her new extended family and only go back every now and then to see her siblings honestly i hated that .... like girl spread your wings ..#choose where you want to roost stop going back !! just get out !!!!!! its literally okay to tell the rest of your family ‘i dont wanna wipe#your asses forever i love you guys but im out of here’. and god i .. as much as i loved y0 makoto should have left her shitassed husband#girl had a whole ass baby with him ... find someone better im sorry ..!!! like whatever i know that thst was the ‘best’ option for her and#she deserves financial stability and a rich doctor husband but she also deserves crazy sex with a girl with one eye#i think what yumi did was awesome but like. actually i have no complaints about yumi. wait no i do. kazama was a shitass for marrying her#off to that politician because he couldnt stand having a woman in his house. im now thinking of that unecessarily hot doctor from y0 wtf was#her deal. and god the unnecessarily hot cho-han lady from y5.. oh wait ako had rights. she fell in love with kiryu at first sight then got#over him which is literally the best thing a girl could do for herself.

simon zealotes you are in my thoughts
#i've been thinking of that guy today. and like . his first days with the rest of the disciples#and him sort of trying to adjust to living in normal circumstances 💀#well. normal.#not normal but different abnormal circumstances#susanna getting his braids off when he decides he's not going back. i've been thinking abt that a lot.#so far i've only ever drawn him with natural hair but while he was a zealot he had to have it braided. it's a hc i have.#for convenience purposes but also just because well.#non black zealots were definitely normal about him !#my simon z is mixed. his father was from canaan his mother was ethopian. clearly he wasn't meant to be born mother died at birth father#tried to raise the child as jewish as he possibly could to ignore the existence of the african mother#worked out great for him he became a zealot#anyways. whatever. didn't have any actual connection to his ethiopian heritage until he met susanna#it's a whole moment. simon z is a whole moment#oh and there's also the. stabbing big james that's how i hc they met him sort.of#simon witnesses a miracle and panics. i havent decided which one yet i'll figure it out#he runs away and you cant exactly just leave the zealots so he's hiding out somewhere relatively near jesus' disciples' camp by chance#he spots the camp and mans hungry so once the disciples all go about their business and leave someone to watch over he tries to steal food#to his luck its big james who's stayed behind and he's both impulsive and agressive so when he spots the guy with the knife trying to steal#from them he punches him in the face.#and look. simon feels threatened. he's a trained zealot. he has a knife on him. it's a reflex can you really blame him ???#anyways he didnt actually mean to stab that guy and he /was/ just stealing their food so idk call it his own conscience call it the power o#jesus he stays and helps him. when jesus gets back he's like 'ah yes a knife guy exactly what's been missing from this team's dynamic'#james is currently bleeding on the floor and he's like nahhh its cool hes funny ! john is panicking and crying. at least two people suggest#they trade matthew for him. matthew hears zealot and starts hyperventilating because he's 88% sure he's going to get murdered in his sleep#(they dont tell simon about matthew's former occupation for like. at least two months more)#it's a vibe !

i do love my dad and he's grown a lot as a person, but i do wish he'd go to therapy for his own sake. it affects him in so many ways that he doesn't even realize
#like you know how colonial american puritanism infected this country with Productivity and the Need To Be Productive#my dad HAS to do stuff on his days off and its wearing him down but he still makes himself work#and in a way i get it--construction and building is his artistic passion#its like how there are days where i really need to rest my hand due to muscle strain#but i draw anyways because drawing is my favorite thing in the world#so i do understand it#but he's aging and he's going to wear himself out#'a body at rest stays at rest and i'll rest on the conveyor belt into the crematorium'#dad if you die before im 50 im kicking your ass#mickey.txt#and that's not getting into the healing from how he was raised because good fucking lord#like he's so proud of how 'i deserved every beating i got from my dad' which is. a lot#but then i remember the story he told me of when he was 5 or 6#he was kneeling at a dining chair and using it as a fort to play with his action figures#and his father beat him with a belt for it#he always seems to forget that one when bragging about how well he was beat#and my dad was considered spoiled by his siblings!#my aunt caroline was beaten so badly once she was taken by child protective services!#and that was in the 60s!!!#just. consdering how my dad never went to therapy or healed from what he went though he's miraculously patient and gentle#and im grateful for that#but good lord. does he still need to heal#abuse tw#child abuse tw

#dc liveblog#not gonna bother reading the rest of this series for full context. im assuming batman is in a simulation of his worst fears#which are not entirely accurate to what may have really happened#so id like to imagine bruce saying he isn't Jason's father is apart of the fear.#as we know. Jason's /need/ for a proper parental figure is a major factor. a butterfly towards his death#so perhaps bruce subconsciously knowing that. and knowing how he failed as a father. naturally made his fears#exaggerate it. and made it outright worse. creating a world where jason couldve never seen bruce as a father#and thus was like more doomed to die or something idk#also weird how bruces mind sees jason as practically an adult when stealing the tires. (though that may be artstyle.)#and seeing himself as giving jason a choice in the matter#and jason smiling at him. pretty sure jason never smiled at him when he got caught with the tires or putting them back on#its all interesting#and of course. how much of those odd changes in memories are meant to be apart of his fears. or just how he remembers the events himself#i def see the “im not your dad” as a fear thing tho#however... bruce does /know/ he's in a simulation. wonder what it all means#im still not gonna bother reading the full series of this for context
