#i wanna ruin homes

[nthflower]

I wanna play Sims right now so much I have Sims but I am so scared again I will going to spend hours working for money instead of going funny thing. Capitalism even in this game doesn't leave me alone.

Bruce is actually really attractive, and I have enough reasoning to make a list

He's:

Tall (. Tall enough to hit his head on the vault doorframe)

Long-legged

Has a straight nose bridge

Has high cheekbones (more noticeable in 2nd pic below)

Has a strong jawline

Sharp eyes, but they aren't small (plus eyebags if you're into that)

Overall, he has strong, attractive facial features

Has broad, refined shoulders. You can tell he works out (or he did, when he was alive)

Even has a thick, muscly neck

He has MUSCLE. Is SCULPTED. NOICE. VERY NOICE. (nice arms. Nice shoulders. Nice neck. Nice legs. Nice butt-)

(There are actually panels where you can see some of his muscles. Other than those already shown here, he's got bricky thighs-

-and in the panels where we first get his name dropped, he's got those shoulder blades too-)

The one time we see him smile, and he actually has a scary one

Has small, kinda sharp pupils, and his eyes remind me of a cat. We only ever saw him tense or defensive, so his resting/listening face is really cute

Other than the physical appearance stuff, he also:

Takes shit without batting an eye (patience, knowing it's just how Kudo is, etc)

Kudo being all "Cut the crap Bruce and give it to me straight", after Bruce tests his blood and is rightfully Concerned because they just faced AFO

Put up with Kudo's experimenting and testing over Yoichi's transferable Factor

Did ya'll see the look on Kudo's face when he realized he had Yoichi's Factor/will? Kudo was going to start in nonsense and Bruce just dealt with that.

Also something I noticed when looking back at the images here; Bruce has bandages on his arms in the void. But not when he faced AFO in the sewers.

Were he and Kudo cutting their arms open in their experimenting over Yoichi's theory? Is this why Kudo has two gauntlets instead of his one? Why we never see his bare arms in the void? That he always keeps his arms down so there's no slip?

Is smart enough to run blood tests, plus has enough common sense to pick Shinomori as his successor

He picked a guy who avoids society, has an Ability to detect danger so he can always stay away from AFO, is also a coward so he's never going to go throw himself into danger, even without knowing instinctively he stands no chance, etc.

Meanwhile, Kudo chose Bruce, who he played Hot Potato Yoichi with; but he did also trust Bruce, and put the only pure combative Ability in OFA through Bruce.

These two made their choices based on what they valued and saw the Factor needed.

Is logical, analytical, and calm.

He tried advising Midoriya on their Abilities in One For All, especially his own.

Midoriya then tried ignoring him about using Fa Jin for the first time, but found he was right, thinking: "Dammit!! I had [Lady Nagant] right where I wanted her, but... ugh! The Third was right. My parallel Quirk processes are all screwed up!" (ch. 314).

Plus, when Midoriya fixed his processing mistakes, Bruce was analyzing the way he reached his new conclusion. Pure facts, no bias, very calm, just saying it as it was.

We never see him panic. When he's caught by surprise in the sewers by AFO, Kudo, and Yoichi's little bubble event, he immediately reacts. He doesn't falter, he just knows he has to do something right now.

Was more willing to listen than Kudo to Yoichi's beckon, and probably was just following Kudo's rejection of Midoriya

While we don't see Kudo's face, we see Bruce's eyes when Yoichi calls on his heroes. Bruce was more open and receptive, or at least more impacted.

Bruce was also the one to start talking, while Kudo just kept quiet.

He actually communicates a lot

When Yoichi called them to support Midoriya, Bruce started talking to paint a picture of why they thought the way they did, so Yoichi understood where they were coming from.

(Though he seems to beat about the bush sometimes, since Kudo spoke up to be direct on how they couldn't just put their trust in some starry-eyed teenager. Plus, when Kudo tells him to just tell him what's wrong [double Factors])

When Midoriya first used Fa Jin against Nagant, Bruce came out just to tell him he knew what he was trying, but that Midoriya wasn't ready; and Midoriya found he was right. Midoriya just didn't want to listen to him then.

He asks Kudo for clarification after finding Kudo had two Factors in him after the sewer incident ("Just to be sure, All For One didn't touch you, right?") Kudo knew him well enough to go "stop beating around the bush and tell me", so Bruce was probably gonna start with questions, theories, and trying to understand everything in general, before saying "yeah you have two Factors. Don't know why".

Is strong-willed and loyal.

He followed Kudo, even to death, carrying on the cause he started until it ended with him.

Plus, when talking about how AFO needs a strong will to override OFA's own, we first see Bruce, Kudo, and Yoichi.

AFO couldn't steal OFA because the will was too strong for him, and that was back during Banjo's time. Since Shinomori never actually tried opposing AFO and just hid, we can assume the first Three (Yoichi, Kudo, Bruce) already had an accumulation of strong willpower that made OFA un-stealable. Those three are a strong enough foundation, and the main wills, that the other users just become bonuses.

Kudo, also saying that Midoriya needs allies with the same will and drive as him... hey Kudo, you're talking about yourself and your old allies, aren't you? That's why you look at Yoichi and Bruce when you say this.

Not only is Bruce attractive, but he's got good character. THE END.

ngl i still dont fullheartedly believe in the knight papyrus theory solely because i will never pretend to have any clue on what the hell ever goes on in that dog's brain but i do think the funniest argument people ever make against it is when they say undertale and deltarune are two totally separate entities with no overlap of important characters whatsoever. its like they got to the part in chapter two where everyone fell asleep and then closed the game

[angelbambisworld]

I feel like even if I wasn't madly in love with Gene, the fascination I have for him would still be there. There's just nobody out there like him anywhere at all.

teenage girl problems when i'm 24 :)

[redeemed-wren]

Reading Wit's conversation with 'Nomad' in Sunlit man and I'm sitting here like what did you do Hoid. What happened on Roshar. What are the 'events in Alethkar.'

Hoid I love you but if you are the cause of any hurt for my Bridge Four and adjacent guys I will be MAD

[book-nerd-emi]

guys. i like a guy. FUCK. 😔

[softquietsteadylove]

in the break up au, they are technically not in a relationship together. So I was thinking what will happen if gil walk into a bar (or wherever you want), and see thena going on a date with someone else. The worst part is she SEEMS like she likes that guy a lot.

thank you!!!

Gil walked into the museum light on his toes--okay, he was practically skipping. Some would call him crazy, but it felt kind of nostalgic, in a nice way. He was walking into the museum to wander and see if he could find Thena roaming around.

Usually she was in her office, he knew, but he liked getting to see her in her element, admiring the history, advising on exhibits and stuff. It was like seeing a beautiful creature in its natural habitat.

He admired things as he came in. He used to love the museum, and then he convinced himself that it was only because of Thena, because when they broke up he had no desire to go back to it. But it really was nice and peaceful.

"Not at all!"

His ears perked. He knew that voice, and he knew that tone, too. He shoved his hands in his pockets, scurrying around with his shoulders hunched, trying to look inconspicuous. He probably looked like a maniac.

He positioned himself as subtly as he could. He couldn't risk Thena seeing him, but he needed to get a good look at what was happening. He needed to see this guy's face, and he needed to see what was making Thena sound so...playful.

The guy was handsome--unfortunately handsome. And he was making Thena laugh. It wasn't some fake laugh she could use sometimes when they were socializing, this was her real laugh.

Gil's gut twisted. He had no right to be feeling this way. They weren't together, and even reconnecting - and kissing, but whatever - as they had didn't bind her to him. Although, he was pretty sure he had asked if she was seeing anyone and she had said no.

"Really?" Mister Handsome persisted, standing awfully close to her. "Nothing?"

"Well," she tipped her head, tucking some hair behind her ear. Gil resisted the urge to rush right over there and un-tuck it. "Not nothing, I suppose. But it wasn't something either."

"Explain something to me, Habibti," he chuckled, scratching the facial hair on his chin. Gil knew what that pet name meant and bristled. "How long have I told you-"

"I realise," she cut him off. She really was comfortable with this guy. "I don't know what happened, it just...you were right."

Gil squinted, but the man's expression became visibly tender. His hand rested on Thena's shoulder. He wanted to grab the guy's wrist and snap it clean off.

"It's good that you talked to him. But are you sure this was what you wanted to happen?"

Thena sighed, deflated, and also didn't pull herself away from his hand. Now, that was odd--Thena didn't like just anyone touching her, even lightly. Who the hell was this guy?! "There was a time I would at least pretend it wasn't."

"But it was," he finished for her, even pursing his lips slightly. He put his other hand on her shoulder, angling her to face him more. His hands dragged down the arms of her cardigan. Gil squirmed. "Because love is complicated."

She didn't say anything, but he could see her nod. Much to Gil's alarm, she slumped forward, thunking her head into the guy's fashionable black turtleneck as she let him rub her back.

The stone in Gil's gut sank all the way down to his toes. He turned away. He shouldn't be spying on her and her new boyfriend (or whoever). He seemed like a nice enough guy, and she was obviously comfortable around him.

So, he had reunited with her after all this time, only for it to feel like they had never parted. So, they had kissed a few times, and he could have sworn she was feeling that old spark there, too. So, they had said they would just see how things went.

It wasn't like they were back together. It wasn't like he had asked her to get back together, because he was the same coward who had let her suggest their breakup two years ago, too. He was going to let the most amazing woman in the world slip through his fingers for a second time.

"Gil!"

Part of him wanted to be petty--to keep walking and pretend he hadn't heard her. But he wasn't that much of a coward, as miserable as he felt at the moment. He turned, offering a tight smile, "hey."

"I didn't see you. What are you doing here?" she asked with a smile--a real, bright smile. She was beautiful.

"Oh, I, uh-" he blinked, rubbing the back of his neck. When he looked up he made eye contact with her friend and lowered his eyes again. He didn't want her date to feel weird about him. For all he knew, Thena had never mentioned him, or maybe it would be worse if she had. "I didn't want to, uh, interrupt."

"Interrupt?" she tilted her head at him, her hair slipping over her shoulder.

He sighed, his fingers automatically rising to tuck it back for her again. But he stopped himself; that would just to be possessive, and he was trying to be a bigger person than that. He faked a chuckle, "you could have told me."

"Told you what?" she frowned now, through with his beating around the bush. "Gil, what are you talking about?"

He nodded his head in Mister Handsome's direction, who - upsettingly - just waved in a friendly manner. He huffed, "what's his name?"

She looked over her shoulder, as if it needed confirming just who he was talking about. She looked back at him as if he were hallucinating the tall, handsome stranger by the dinosaur skeletons, "Ben?"

"Sorry, I guess you don't really have to tell me about him," Gil muttered. Heat rose in his cheeks; he was an idiot for coming here and trying to surprise her like old times. "We aren't...we didn't say...I-"

Thena laughed. Well, she tried not to, out of politeness or something, but he caught her hiding her laughter.

"What?" he demanded, completely embarrassed now. "Look, go back to your date, I was just-"

"Ben is the husband of a friend of mine." Oh. Oh! She touched his hand lightly. "Phastos and I submitted for our doctorates around the same time, so I've gotten to know Ben and their son quite well in the last year."

Mister Handsome was married?

"I was actually talking to him about-" Thena cut herself off this time, her fingers sliding into her hair. "Well, it's not important."

It seemed pretty important. But Gil was happy to let her halfheartedly hold his hand as she explained it to him.

"Ben is here to have lunch with Phastos. He knows, to an extent, that you and I...reconnected."

So, she was talking about them! Gil went through the snippets he had gotten of their conversation, albeit from far away and while he was thinking that she was talking about herself and Ben over there.

"And you are here," she called his attention back to her, tugging faintly at the lapel of the nice blazer he had worn. She raised her sandy blonde eyebrows at him, "for?"

He grinned. He took the opportunity to lean in and kiss her cheek, "for this."

Thena blushed. She did that a lot more now than she had when they dated the first time.

"And," he continued, taking her hand in his properly, "to see if you wanted to grab some lunch."

"W-Well," she cast a nervous glance back at Ben, who - like any truly good friend - was watching the exchange shamelessly. She stepped closer to him, "I'm not actually off for another hour."

"That's okay," he shrugged. He had already endured what he had thought was a worst case scenario. Now, he was in quite a good mood again. "You can show me around, right? Tell me about all the history."

"You've seen it all before," she laughed as he moved her to take his arm anyway. She barely had the chance to wave to Ben as they took their leave.

He could meet Ben at another time, maybe even apologise for being weird. But for now, he was here to see his...ex. His friend. His date? His something. "So?--show me again. Tell me the stuff you talked about in your thesis."

"You don't want to hear about that."

"Why not?" he asked genuinely. Would a lot of it go over his head?--probably. But he couldn't believe he had never even asked before. He tightened his hand over hers. "Tell me anyway."

am I overreacting yes or no QUICKLY

[abigail]

first time i go to the cinema in months (which is unlike me btw. rip my mental health) i get food poisoning from a veggie hot dog… how could my beloved cinema snacks betray me like this .. evil.

[hballegro]

i am a metronome of 'this problem is easily solvable if you talk to a certain person in your life and it'll only get worse if you leave it be, calm down and bite the bullet' and 'you've already left it a long time and asking for help even from loved ones is really really hard so actually cry in a ball'

we must destroy the grey head jelly for being the most inconsistent and rude bastard in the world

operation do not cry at my irl bestie’s wedding: FAILED

Any men out there wanna pretend to be my bf to get my parents off my case about marriage? I am so so serious right now.

[oflgtfol]

there’s been a few episodes of s4 so far that don’t feature john, not in the actual in-universe way, but due to the actual narrative structure/delivery of the episode: the nightmare episode where arthur was just trapped in his own dream for the majority of the episode, and then the butcher episode that was entirely from collins’ pov and so he obviously cannot hear the voice inside arthur’s head.

both episodes were enjoyable for these specific narrative perspectives that we don’t typically get, and i appreciate that, but also i miss john :( and also i’m very nervous. i don’t think it’s a coincidence that we, the audience, are being isolated from john at the same time that arthur is beginning to feel that john is “slipping away.” what with the unspoken implication that john is lying about something to protect arthur, and the way he’s been sort of forgetful recently (?!?!), it’s like, AHHHH. i’m afraid
