Noa and Mae + bonding
From Mae taking something important representing the bond between apes and eagles/clan from Noa, to Noa freely giving something important that's representing the bond between apes and humans to Mae.

camchase as a hilson parallel except it’s chase who is 100% wilson and cameron who is 160% house
#hate crimes md#malpractice posting#chameron#hilson#yes i'm tagging this hilson. bc i am right#trust me on this. it’s way more accurate this way.#sure chase us a house parallel in other ways but in this?#cameron who keeps self sabotaging and is afraid of failure and refuses to try#cameron who keeps trying to reduce the relationship to rational and emotionless terms#to make it scientific against all evidence and feeling#who is terrified of that kind of vulnerability#who has suffered terrible heartbreak and loss and lets it color every inch of her#who refuses to change and open up because that’s a loss of control#and chase who really truly believes if he tries hard enough it will make up for any lack#who is loyal to cameron to the end and takes all manner of neglect and thoughtlessness#not because he’s so selfless and wonderful and kind but because he’s just as screwed up#and knows it#and feels like cameron is maybe his only chance#maybe his first real chance#at any kind of love of affection#and spends most of his time looking desperately for connection in all the wrong ways#settling for the first people he sees#falling in love and being unable to sustain or fake it longer than a few days#i am. telling you.

i think i've seen this film before ...
#the rookie#rosalind dyer#harrison novak#tw blood#the clown in me wants there to be a connection between novak and rosalind because he's the most interesting killer since rosalind#and the way the different parallels just had me so shook#because even the title of the episodes kind of parallel each other?#2x10: the dark side / 7x03: darkness falling and 2x11: day of death / 7x04: 'til death#is there likely another rosalind/caleb situation ... probably not#but a girl can dream (and clown)#especially because seth (i still love him) would so perfectly fit into that mess because why is the boi so sus???#but again#i am a clown ♡#this is just in good fun because it was a fun trip down memory lane lol

Bridgerton Parallels & Secrets
I’m doing a full series Bridgerton rewatch and I’ve discovered another season 1 parallel in season 3 that I have not seen talked about online.
In S1 E7, Daphne comes home after Marina’s pregnancy is revealed to support Colin and she takes him aside. She tells Colin that he should be lucky he learned of Marina’s secret before his wedding day (obviously this is about her marriage with Simon but it’s interesting how this comes back later).
Jump to season 3 and Colin learns of Penelope’s secret (her identity as Whistledown). And when does he learn of this? Before his wedding day.

In S3 E7, we see Kate offering marriage advice to Colin, saying that everyone has secrets. Here we get confirmation that Colin’s love for Penelope remains even through this conflict. He marries her the next day knowing her secret and accepting her still.
The difference this time with Colin is that his love for Penelope is true and deep, rather than a fleeting fancy. This secret Penelope held from him meant a great deal (due to his love of her and disdain for Whistledown) and yet he still chose to marry her.
And while Colin said he would have married Marina had he known of her pregnancy, the result would have been a loveless marriage and a strained relationship with his family due to their elopement.
Whereas, his marriage with Penelope would still be one of love (their confrontation the night before the wedding confirmed for Colin that Penelope believes she loves him) - regardless of their current conflict.

Furthermore, while Marina would have had Colin (or maybe not even told him) keep her secret, Penelope did have every intention of telling Colin about LW (before her conversation with Eloise in E6). And, once her secret was discovered, Penelope could not allow Colin to keep this secret from his family. Because she loves him.
Colin would have miserable having to keep such a big secret from his family and that is the biggest difference between Marina and Penelope: Marina would not have cared as much about Colin keeping a big Secret from his family but Penelope would. Because she also loves the Bridgertons.
#This turned into a ramble-y mess at the end#but I find it so fascinating to look at it with this perspective and see the connection from s1 to s3#I love circular storytelling#and the fucking parallels from s1 to s3 just keep being there#sure there were tiny line changes I would have made but for the most part the writing this season slapped#overall I fucking love the writing in this show#bridgerton#bridgerton season 3#polin#bridgerton spoilers#bridgerton s3#bridgerton s1#Bridgerton season 1#bridgerton parallels#colin bridgerton#penelope featherington#marina thompson#secrets#lady whistledown#bridgerton rewatch#bridgerton series rewatch#bridgerton analysis#my Bridgerton rewatch#my bridgerton series rewatch

A pegasus who's capable of miracles no unicorn can do.
Clara and Daniil as ponies because that's what comes to me every winter idk.
#i miss pony viruses sooooo much i loved it :(#pathologic plot is actually really fitting to be a pony virus#i made the bachelor a unicorn because. you know. most of them literally live in the main city.#and many of them got ambitions and that “oh what a DIVA you are” ahh personality#which is literally about dankovsky#clara is a pegasus because it would be no fun if a miracle was made by a unicorn. it would be normal bruh#and not an earth pony since. well. i wanted to make three main protagonists be of three different pony races#and a pegasus is not fitting for burakh. and i'm not even talking about complexity#it's that the haruspex's trait is about his 'connection to earth'#and an earth pony is the best for him. so clara is a pegasus. and i also like the parallels like she can be actually perceived as an angel#or saint it doesn't really matter#and she is also not just a pegasus but a changeling (what a coincidence)#pathologic#pathologic classic hd#pathologic art#pathologic bachelor#the bachelor#pathologic daniil#daniil pathologic#daniil dankovsky#pathologic changeling#pathologic clara#clara the changeling#clara saburova#мор утопия#даниил данковский#клара самозванка#artists on tumblr#polufabrikat draws#polufabrikat thinks

what's so interesting is that agatha and nicky clearly had their cons well-oiled, and at the end it seems they even started turning their song into a part of it as well, like i don't think that was the first time nicky sang that song for an audience and they used it to lure witches (i do think it's the first time that it /technically/ didn't work), and how after nicky died it continued to gain popularity and be so well-known it became a legend, and along with that agatha being known as the only survivor of the road and people (like billy) seeking her out to walk it or just for knowledge of it. and i think that had been the idea when they first started using it as a con. making it so they no longer had to travel and scavenge, using it as a lure to bring the witches to them in order to keep nicky alive, but only one small misstep and rio got him anyway
and then thinking about how lorna, who had a generational curse placed upon her family that is going to kill both her and her daughter and who desperately wants to see her daughter survive, heard this song and created her own version to use as a protection spell for her daughter and, like agatha did before her, she made her version so well-known and so popular that years and years after death it's still protecting her daughter, until ultimately her daughter was finally able to use it to break the curse and save herself
idk just.. they're like two sides of the same coin, or distorted mirrors of each other
agathas love was so powerful and so strong that death gave nicky time
lornas love was so powerful and so strong that the ballad gave alice time and even freed her
if nicky hadnt been taken that night, could it have eventually freed him as well? rio said agatha used the dark magic of the darkhold to hide herself from rio, so was that the end goal? they'd continue to lure witches to both keep nicky alive and to have agatha become powerful enough to forever keep them hidden?
#agatha all along#aaa spoilers#agatha harkness#nicholas scratch#alice wu gulliver#lorna wu#txt#me before the finale: and i'll save this song to use the lyrics to make gifsets of agatha x rio since i'll finally have more scenes to use#me after the finale: lorna/alice and agatha/nicholas parallels let's goooo#and there's something so poetic about how alice died too#like the song worked for her in ways it could never have worked for nicky#the song saved her like it never could nicky and like it was supposed to for nicky#and ultimately she dies the same as all the witches who had been drained to keep nicky living#do you think instead of just a loss of control agathas grief and bitterness chose to take from alice#because why should what was meant to save nicky save her instead?#i wonder if that moment when she watches it fizzle does she think of lorna?#does hearing nicky's voice allow her to see the similarities from a different perspective instead of through her grief#through her love of her son and connect it to lorna's love of her daughter? their struggle was the same for as much as it was different#idk it's just... agatha was planning to drain them from the start#why was /this/ one different. why did she have that look on her face after#especially after being confronted with her own mother who would have seen her die

I'm so incredibly Normal about these two games.
#look i know people have done those ''yttd is just danganronpa but better'' and they're right#but have people ever draw parallels between yttd and 999#because i sure am. i sure have.#i just rewatched 999 and man. the story fucks me up each and everytime#the doomed siblings narrative. being apart of something that they don't understand. the main character having connections to the villain.#the narrative of wanting to save someone you love but unable to. because fate determines that they must die.#junpei and sara are so fucking similar and Not at the same time#akane and joe are weirdo friends who would get along great#i am trying so Desperately hard not to spoil anything. this is the closest i can get#if this post can get anyone to play 999 my mission is complete#if you like yttd you would like 999. they got so much Stuff going on it drives me crazy#your turn to die#9 hours 9 persons 9 doors#yttd#999#999 game#zero escape#the fire burns#the fire crackles with joy#low quality memes#low effort memes#memes#shitpost

ive been replaying kh1 (going thru the whole series on steam since i never got the chance to play all the games) and i was struck by something a bit odd. i have been dyinggg to talk about it
it's about kairi and her past.
i don't think she's a replica or construct necessarily
but in kh2 there's a parallel drawn between her and sally in halloween town; and the same i think could be true in kh1.
sally is a Frankenstein monster/doll made by the doctor. the entire plot of Halloween town centers around the need for the dr to make a "heart" which requires memories from Sally (the scene of her picking the forget me nots looks a lot like kairi holding a flower for aqua too)
sora takes interest in the project to restore a heart to the heartless too because of his desire to restore Kairi's heart.
i havent really come up with a coherent thought about what this means.
but given that we know kairi was experimented on in a way that involved her heart, it just seems suspicious that this parallel was made twice to her and a doll that was stitched together and animated by a mad scientist.
shes also compared to chirithy in kh3, which from my understanding were created by MoM for keyblade weilders; and to Pooh, who is a toy/story book character that came to life
given too that Kairi already has a weird thing going on with her heart, it just seems possible that theres something..more to it that i have yet to piece together. and its driving me crazy
NO, WAIT… ANON YOU’RE COOKING. Idk what it all means either, but those parallels are so good and so true. Cause there definitely is something artificial about Kairi’s heart, even if just partially. It was experimented on, like you said, and it looks completely different than the organic hearts we see, and I suspect that’s why we’ve never seen Kairi’s heart station. Because it’s (at least partially) artificial. It would look totally different than all the other heart stations and would probably give away what’s going on.
#IDK WHAT IT MEANS BUT AUGH….. KAIRI IS SO INTERESTING. OR SHE COULD BE#kingdom hearts#there’s also parallels between her and subject x… which is another mystery#but we know she was experimented on by xehanort and co#and isa and lea were trying to save her#ugh it would be so cool if kairi takes over as protag in reality/the disney fairytale universe#i do not expect to really see her at all in kh4. but it would be fun to get one of those in between games that shows what’s happening on#that side while sora and riku are running around in unreality/quadratum#i would love to get a game where you can play as kairi and she goes on an actual mission or something#with some other characters like ven and uh well roxas and xion just want to be schoolkids i think#and idk what namine wants to do. so maybe lea? the three wielders in training (that we know of)#but so that way we can find out more about kairi and the lore she’s connected to and get to know her a little better#20 years and we still hardly know anything about being a princess of heart…. rip

// oc deep dive.
tagged by; @aztarion and @devilbrakers, thank you so much!!
tagging; @mojaves, @deadrlngers, @ordinarymaine, @claudiawolf, @adelaidedrubman and YOU!
What common/uncommon fear do they have?
Nathan has a lot of fears stemming from his paranoia. Tangible ones such as getting captured or killed by MOBIUS, his friends walking away from him, or someone following him home; as well as more unrealistic ones, such as somehow ending up back in STEM, or getting stuck in a time loop, or a giant sinkhole all the way to the core of the earth opening up right at his feet.
It also happens often enough that certain actions don’t necessarily scare him, but make him uncomfortable or highly on edge (often with good reason); think of someone locking the door of the room he’s in– especially when it’s just them two– or getting too close without warning. He often fears people he gets too close to will end up treating him like the Administrator did, which is why it takes a while for him to let Sebastian get any closer physically, despite warming up to him relatively fast.
A more uncommon fear he has is waking up one morning and having lost one of his senses or his ability to speak. Aside from the mental erosion that had become a growing issue among Union citizens, MOBIUS observed a similar kind of process in its agents who regularly jumped in and out of STEM for general maintenance and the like– presumably caused by the constant changes in brain activity, which more than often led to exactly what Nathan’s fear mentioned above describes. While he was among the agents who worked both in and outside of STEM on the Union environment, he was lucky enough to never suffer the consequences.
Lastly, he is deadly afraid of Anima. Despite not having shown any other symptom of succumbing to the STEM domination process, Nathan would have started seeing her around sometime before Lily vanished– presumably got her attention after some of his escapades in the secret labs in the Marrow– and he has not been able to sleep soundly in STEM ever since. While his fear of her mostly acts up when he’s in a STEM environment, it definitely translates over to the real world as well; during bad mental health episodes he has auditory hallucinations of her, and she makes regular appearances in his nightmares too.
Do they have any pet peeves?
When people are too passive. Nathan can’t stand it when he’s expected to initiate everything, from conversations to taking action, both in a work context (scheduling meetings, deploying new code) as well as personal context (scheduling to hang out, doing household chores). He also doesn’t like having to constantly ask people to do what they’re supposed to do– though this irritation more than often extends a little too far, to things he is expecting of people but never told them about.
Loud and unexpected noises, especially when done on purpose. Fireworks would be a great example of this, and they piss Nathan off no end. He gets snippy when people raise their voice at him for no reason, or when they keep banging their fist on a surface to get others’ attention.
Getting cut off in traffic. Nathan’s road rage is easily awakened and he can get a little drastic with it. His reflexes are fast enough to brake on time to avoid ending up in someone’s trunk, but will in that same breath speed right back up to crash into them on purpose as revenge for pissing him off.
What are three items you can find in their bedroom?
A large ring binder full of old code snippets, notes from various projects he worked on back at MOBIUS, and all his research ranging from neuroscience all the way to electrical engineering. Nathan is a little old-school in that regard– he’d much rather have all his research physically with him than save it all to some online storage platform and risk losing it like that.
A jigsaw puzzle, made entirely out of different pieces that he’s collected over the years (stolen from others’ puzzles, found in various locations, stolen directly from the store, etc). The full piece would total up to nearly 2000 pieces, though it is still missing a large chunk in the center; the result is an abstract piece containing mostly darker colors, though with various bursts of color scattered around like flowers in a field. Nathan isn’t the artistic type, but the project keeps him busy and he considers it a type of self-expression.
The knife he killed his parents with when he was sixteen years old. He’s not entirely sure why he kept it all those years– perhaps to remind himself what got him to where he is now, or because it’s the only thing he still has from that time of his life. Either way, it’s kept safe in the top drawer of his nightstand, easy enough to reach in case someone breaks into his apartment.
What do they notice first in a person?
First: State of mind, overall mood. How approachable do they look; can he afford to lower his guard or does he need to tread with caution, can he get close without worrying about a knife to the stomach or should he keep his distance? Nathan rarely shows immediate interest in someone’s overall personality, he would rather want to know which of their emotions he’s gonna have to deal with during their interaction(s).
Second: Body language. Ties in with the first thing mentioned– cautiously watching for threats, waiting to see if they make a move to touch (or harm) him so he can step out of their range. But it also extends a little further; Nathan tends to mimic others’ body language in conversation to make himself appear more approachable. If someone gestures a lot, he will do the same.
Third: Their smile, if relevant. Smiling is an eye-catching action to him, since he’s not one to quickly do so himself. It’s attractive to him; if someone smiles at him, you’ll be able to catch him staring.
Fourth: Scars, and other (skin) details. Nathan isn’t one to ask about them, of course– but they’ll catch his attention anyway, for a brief moment, since some of them already tell a story on their own even without words.
Fifth: Nervous tics, if relevant. By this point he’s been in conversation long enough to pick up on the little details– a slight thrill or shakiness to their voice, a thumb running over the side of their index finger, a nose twitch. In some cases it eases his mind, knowing the other person isn’t confident in their conversation either; in other cases it sets off alarms in his mind, and makes him wonder if there’s more going on than what they’re showing or telling him.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how high is their pain tolerance?
Physically: 7. While he doesn’t quite look like it, Nathan can take a hit or two. Most of his injuries happen in STEM– though with the way the technology works, the pain is very much real, and in some cases the scars are lasting even in the real world despite the damage having been sustained in STEM. To an extent, Nathan even enjoys the pain; it’s grounding for him, and keeps him from dissociating. When it gets too much to handle he simply drinks it away.
Mentally: 10. Nathan’s life has been a constant downward spiral; sent to a youth detention center after being wrongfully accused of killing his younger sister, and he was bullied relentlessly there, which continued until long after his release both at school and at home. At MOBIUS, he was required to work shifts in their HQ as well as in the Marrow, in the Union STEM environment– he was required to be mentally strong, or he would have already started suffering from mental erosion by long-term STEM exposure after his first few trips in. It takes a lot to break him (or so he likes to believe).
Emotionally: 4. Once you get past all the barriers, Nathan is pretty sensitive. He doesn’t deal well with rejection or misunderstanding, and is prone to assuming things are all his fault the second something goes wrong. It’s easy to upset him, though he won’t easily show; but the damage often takes a while to repair.
Do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure? (Or freeze or fawn?)
Fight, more than often; though it may appear as flight at first, since Nathan’s favored combat approach is stealth and he will always find cover before doing anything rash. In certain cases, however, he would be more likely to freeze; especially anything related to Anima or an enemy type like her, where fighting is out of the question, and he knows that a single wrong move can mean his demise.
It translates to non-combat situations too– often willing to talk to people but his initial response is to get defensive and close himself off, and if not given a moment to regain himself it can lead to either fighting or freezing; biting back with similar ferocity or shutting down altogether, unable to pick up his rational train of thought in the heat of the moment.
It really depends on the type of confrontation, though; taking his own state of mind and who else is involved into consideration. He’s known to fawn when a situation starts feeling a little too familiar– generally surrounding the abuse he suffered from partially his parents, but mostly the Administrator.
What animal represents them best?
Wolf; bordering on dog motif, but cautiously so, requiring infinite patience and understanding to win his trust. Nathan is loyal and guarding to those he cares about, but he values his freedom– his choices and decisions are his and his alone, and anyone who tries to take that away from him will suffer the necessary consequences.
How would a stranger likely describe them?
Curious, above anything else. Distant, reserved; surprisingly well-spoken, almost technical in his interactions with others as if the whole conversation is pre-programmed in his mind. Nathan isn’t necessarily cold towards others, but people would also not be quick to describe him as kind; though there is a certain warmth to the way he speaks and looks at people, despite the fact he very rarely smiles and isn’t one to quickly compliment someone else.
Appearance-wise, people tend to notice the white strands in his black hair first. They’re clustered at the front of his head, and match with the white hairs in his left eyebrow and the white eyelashes in the outer corner of his left eye. Nathan has very pale and rough skin, patchy but dark facial hair covering up most of his acne (/scarring); and part of the skin around his left eyebrow is lacking pigment, though it’s a little hard to see. He has very pale and bright blue eyes, which can be a little unnerving when staring at them for too long. Many people cannot maintain eye contact with him for very long.
Do they have any hobbies?
Nathan’s career is directly intertwined with his hobbies, and he enjoys working on code even long after cutting ties with MOBIUS. Software development, application optimization– his laptop runs on an operating system that he coded entirely himself, and whenever he has some time to spare he can be found tweaking and optimizing it and adding new features.
To no one’s surprise, he’s a gamer. Shooters, roguelikes, survival horror– he does not play all too often as his schedule often doesn’t allow for it, but he generally doesn’t have a hard time playing on higher difficulties and enjoys the challenge. Nathan has tried his hand at game design and development too, but stopped quickly when he found it too similar to developing the Union environment in STEM.
And last, surprisingly, would be writing. Journaling, some sort of attempt at poetry, or articles he would want to send in to some website or appropriate magazine but never does– a lot of Nathan’s writing is for his eyes alone, but it helps as an outlet, it keeps him grounded. For a while after leaving MOBIUS, he worked on writing tech manuals for various employers to earn some extra cash, which also ties directly into his interests.
#tag games#ask:nathan#using his full name in the banner to fill up all the empty space but it feels so funny like no one calls him that. no one calls him that#idk who's already done this i'm very out of the loop but hi =] until tumblr fixes itself my brain will only let me tag 5 people#in stuff like this so if you see this and i haven't tagged you. you are tagged now. i am tagging you in my mind palace#anyway hi =] i love nathan he is a little bit of a freak a little bit of a weirdo but that's part of his charm#possibly autistic but he's got a job so he doesn't really care about that right now#to me nathan is the same sort of oc flavor as vitali is but it's hard to explain. they both carry this energy around that makes them#fit very well in one specific environment if that makes sense?? vitali being a corpo boy nathan being lead STEM developer#and to then see them outside of that environment kind of makes them feel out of place in a very similar way as#how they themselves feel a little alienated from the rest of the world#taught to do what they do and when expected to function outside of that reality and mingle with the crowds#they don't really know what to do with themselves etc etc. does that make sense. i hope it does#either way. for nathan it really shows in how he struggles connecting with his friends and why he ends up#latching on to ruben so much once he allows him to move in with him. there's SO many parallels between them#and ruben is also a guy who grew up dedicating his life to one thing only and now he doesn't know what else there is for him#that's why they work so well together... both struggling to find purpose and connection. you know what i mean#ok i've said enough now but just know i could easily write an essay or two about this guy

Zachariah torturing Dean:
5x03
///
Zachariah torturing Jack:
13x14
(Script 13x14 via @spnscripthunt-inactive)
#jack and dean#zachariah's recruitment tactics#another little nugget of a parallel#zachariah can't break jack or dean#jack specifically picks up on the game immediately#spn 5x03#spn 13x14#spn the end#spn good intentions#jack's deepest insecurities were his earth dads burning to death in the bunker#and his authority figure aligning against humanity#but jack turned against his fake heaven father's fake authority :-)#just as dean in the end rejected what he saw and balked at zach's authority#this is deeply in parallel to dean's insecurities of losing his family 4x17 and then in the end 5x03 of becoming a nihilistic john#plus dean's fears of bobby's weakness/death and of cas becoming like dean while dean becomes like john and sam becomes like lucifer...#dean was also anxious that cas made a choice and got STUCK with them: we see zach!cas say wistful things about heaven being a *better club*#in some ways i feel like the rejection of cas-as-dean is a bit a rejection of his siren nick in 4x14 which is ALSO a dean-doppelganger#it's a growth of realizing what you think you want isn't actually what you want and as you grow up you look outside yourself#and learn to see people as they are and not simply as reflections of yourself or a mix of all things familiar in your life#ANYHOO#i just love that zach's mind games are connected to two introspective characters who are full of heart i/g#in both cases zach's worlds are drawn to get the characters to make a specific decision - dean to give his body over and jack to open a doo#UNRELATED/// the end was one of the reasons that i thought perhaps dean had fallen in love with cas subconsciously quite early#dean early ideas of love (1) familial (2) white picket fence (3) the siren which was a mix of all things safe/familiar john-dean-bobby-sam#on (3) dean thought perhaps that love meant being understood meant a coworker mean SOMEONE JUST LIKE ME#and cas confused him because cas is definitely not SOMEONE JUST LIKE ME#so when dean's brain tries that out? tries to label that? tries to make cas JUST LIKE ME... it balks because that's not what love feels lik#dean's brain then settles on accepting how DIFFERENT cas is from him#ergo he doesn't want cas to change to meet the idea in dean's head or to be LIKE dean himself (esp not a smoky hedonistic caricature)#instead dean embraces how weird and scary an unexpected cas is as an individual... cause that's what love actually is it's RISKY and SCARY
