#im not ready for this confrontation

[on-leatheredwings]

the fanon im attaching to is that nome. bruce is a good dad--

(people gasp in shock and horror)

... who is deeply flawed and troubled <3 (read: he is as good as you can be when you adopt child soldiers)

remember when bruce started cursing out dick and called him a r[slur], and how we all just pretend that didnt happen b/c it was ass writing. yeah thats how i view abusive bruce, like its just bad writing to me so no i don't see it as real or canon

theres a reason wfa is so popular and it's bc we are tired of a miserable ass bruce 😭 while i think wfa is also not canon (b/c it literally isn't), girl i prefer reading it over some of this other shit

[tenshiangle]

george lucas should have left this scene in the final cut because it slaps HARD

I like the idea of francis being good with romance or whatever country of love ect ect but what i find more interesting is a francis who is just "bad" at love according to anyone-who-knows-him-even-a-little-bit's metrics yk.

(More under the cut cause this ended up STUPID long)

Like hes kind of too much or too little. He goes super overboard with romantic afternoons, candles and petals and shit. Cannot be casual about that. But hes also a bit too easygoing?

He WILL cheat and if broken up with he wont even act like he cares, like oh well. I guess I just gotta move on! I really did love them tho!

In a way he did... Its like he has a very general "love for humanity and life and beauty" kind of thing going on but he cant make really meaningful interpersonal connections easily so he just assumes/pretends theyre the same "love". Ykwim. Hes a man of apearances moreso than a man of true emotional substance.

Doesnt consider that the stuff he does hurts his partners/will ignore problems till the other brings them up to him. Idk. Theres something a tiny bit robotic about how he goes about this kinda stuff, methinks.

Idk. Anything beyond the most basic of romantic platitudes is stuff he doesnt really bother with... Quantity over quality... He has too many people close to his heart to make anyone feel uniquely like romantically special to him you know. Hell bring up past lovers to current ones like he still loves them.

This guy cannot hold down any partner!!! He only can if he tries super hard beyond the aesthetics of romance but he just doesnt see the apeal in bothering with that. Eternally celibate kind of >_>

Anyways idk. Thoughts. Does this even make sense? Probably not. Sorry. Lol. Sorry if this is ooc too i just like thinking about it because it makes all his relationships miserable and thats funny

Vecna’s plan requiring Mike to leave for California means nothing. The number 1 following Mike cryptically at the airport means nothing. Them barely giving us Mike’s perspective the last two seasons (despite him being the original protagonist) means nothing and it isn’t setting up his POV to be revealed in s5 bc the entire audience is completely comfortable with where Mike stands as a character in regards to his deeper feelings/motives. No confusion there so no need to address that. Mike saying How will I survive a whole week without you guys at the start of s4 wasn't foreshadowing his fate at the end of said week. Mike standing in front of exit signs 3+ times in s4 is probably just a coincidence. Mike being associated with gaping mouths in multiple moments spanning the entire series, even going back to his very first line on the show, means nothing at all. Nancy’s vision about her family (Mike) dying was mentioned at the end of s4, but it didn’t happen so probably won’t ever happen, even though there’s still another season left set directly after the events of s4. Will calling Mike the heart and how without heart they’d all fall apart, was not in any shape form foreshadowing something happening to Mike and them all falling apart, bc Mike is definitely just a prop and everything in relation to his story only holds meaning on the surface or for other characters arcs and couldn’t possibly be hinting at something deeper that’s being saved as one of the many surprises for the last season.

God every day I think about Akane’s breakdown in door 3 because there really is no correct way to interpret that and every possibility makes me crazy. Like she sees this fucked up corpse whom Junpei (and the player, depending on how they play) believes is their friend Snake, but she knows that it’s Guy X. It’s a man she very intentionally put in the game for this very purpose, so that he could die horrifically and be displayed for everyone to see. And she has a full mental breakdown over being trapped in this room with the corpse, being trapped by Junpei, to the point where she rips out her hair and starts bleeding from how much she bangs on the door screaming to get out. And fuck, there’s so many possibilities like

Akane could be feeling genuine terror over the sight of the body, and with that remorse. She made this happen, she wanted this to happen, and now she’s forced to quite literally watch the damage she’s caused unfold. She can detach herself from his murder easily in other timelines where she doesn’t have to look at it, and she can sleep easy knowing that her hands are technically clean because she didn’t do the literal killing. But she can’t do that here, and she has to face the fact that not only did she happily cause this death, she failed her mission. She isn’t going to survive, and now this man is dead for nothing and everything is her fault

On the other hand, her entire breakdown could be completely fabricated in order to keep playing the role of the damsel in distress who is so innocent that the very sight of blood drives her to insanity. The interesting part about this is that if she could fake such a horrific breakdown, just how much of her personality a facade? We know she wants revenge, for everyone from Cradle to feel even an ounce of the pain she and so many others went through, but we don’t get to see the extent of how much she feels this way. We never hear directly from Akane about her feelings on any of the original organizers, just her note about her desire to punish them. She hates them, but does she see their deaths as a necessary evil, or does she feel joy and satisfaction at watching them go? It’s absolutely horrifying not knowing, not being able to see her true feelings, not knowing just how real or fake she is, the extent of her madness. Perhaps she doesn’t even know that herself

IN OTHER WORDS, it’s fucked

Kingsley needs time in the spotlight. We don't know anything about how he's doing during the solstice. Is he having visions? Nightmares? I wish he was talked about and included more.

aHH yes I feel the same definitely!! ; ; Every incarnation of the Circus Man is very dear to me, and I would love to see more Kingsley. We just got him for so little time, and he's so fascinating and such a love letter to how far the Nein were willing to go to save Mollymauk's soul ; ; It does make me sad that he's the only one of the Mighty Nein we didn't get to see yet, but I am hopeful that maybe we'll finally get to spend some time with him soon!

Also, the fact that the novel ends with defining Kingsley as Molly and Lucien both shaking hands, deciding to both come back together and try again...it's just so very sweet and cathartic to me, a transformation and rebirth, a miracle that amazed even one of the gods. A life born out of love.

And there's just so many fascinating directions his story can go! And so many interesting threads that potentially connect him to Rudius to me?? I mean, I still can't get over the fact that Molly was "born" in the Savalirwood, ground zero for Ludinus' first "communion" with Predathos; this cursed, corrupted forrest where restless spirits still roam. Not only that, in the comic he very much appears to be?? Born on a Ruidus flare?? If that's really the case, then...that's definitely something??

In another life, Tealeaf was warned never to trust other fortune tellers who use an "Oracle of the Red Moon"--a deck that mirrors and mocks the Moonweaver's, cards meant to manipulate and mislead, bring nothing but misfortune and misery to others. I can't help but feel like there's something very interesting there, that Molly was maybe the only one of all the Nein to be raised with superstitions about the red moon...Wonder if it would still make some part of Kingsley a bit unnerved to go there, even just subconsciously...

And even if Molly wasn't really Ruidusborn, we know that he/Lucien were fate touched. Thinking about how...it took a fate touched champion of the gods to power Ludinus' weapon. How it must feel to be a fate touched soul when everything Ludinus is doing is to sever the threads of fate and all connection to the divine. Would a part of him feel those bonds breaking, on some level?

And with all kinds of ancient arcane prisons breaking all over the world, I really can't stop thinking about how Kingsley spent years waking from nightmares about a primal scream and black chains. If Tharizdun has grown more powerful since the start of the solstice, do those dreams get worse? Does Kingsley have nights where he wakes still screaming? Or perhaps he has other dreams? Tealeaf, who was saved by the Moonweaver in every life--dreamed of her in every life--does he see her again one night, asking him for help?

Kingsley Tealeaf is born of both the Nein's love and a Divine Intervention of the gods. He's someone who's soul was found and cradled by the Moonweaver in every lifetime. Does a part of him feel indebted to the gods for that? Or perhaps it's just that he still loves the Moonweaver, sees her as something of an old friend? Would protect her the same as the Nein, because that's what you do for family?

There's just so many interesting directions you could go for Kingsley's reaction to the solstice, I think whatever Taliesin--and perhaps Robbie--decide to do would be just fascinating :') Also, I think it will be very fun if we get to see Robbie play King for the Nein episodes and I'm all for it, especially with how excited Tal was about it. But I do still miss seeing Taliesin as Mr. Tealeaf and hope he still plays him again someday too ; ;

[ableedingpromise]

God I'm so fucking annoyed how come she gets to treat me however she likes and then gets to say she didn't mean it?????

[fat-psychward-sockgrippussy333]

Or whomst ever ya guardian was lol...bc... "Lower. Your. Tone." oh. No.

[cursed-princess-club]

When do you think it will dawn on King Jack how the Plaid Family suffered after discovering his “friend’s�� true nature?

I NEED HIM TO REALIZE THIS SO BAD.... IT'S GOING TO TEAR HIM APART BUT IT'S GOING TO BE SO CATHARTIC TO FINALLY SEE JACK LEARN LELAND'S PLAN ONCE IT'S ALL IN THE OPEN. I NEED THEM TO YELL AT EACH OTHER OR I NEED JACK TO NOT EVEN LOOK AT LELAND OR JUST PUMMEL HIM IN THE GROUND OR SOMETHING. I NEED SOMETHING TO HAPPEN AND IM SO READY FOR IT

[quietwingsinthesky]

goddd anna’s the first one who knows about what dean did in hell who doesn’t try to use it against him. the angels obviously know, cas knows because he pulled him out, but what dean did is the leverage they need to get him to be obedient to heaven. anna’s the first one who knows and doesn’t use that knowledge to hurt him or convince him of anything. she so easily could have turned it on him, made it ‘save me to redeem yourself for torturing in hell’ but she doesn’t. she tells him to forgive himself. she forgives him later when he chooses sam over her.

[infizero]
