I HAVE CRACKED THE HANDLERS COMMUNICATION WITH PANTHERA IN THE WAREHOUSE SCENE- NO I AM NOT INSANE, YES I HAVE WATCHED THIS SCENE TOO MANY TIMES

Ok so it starts with panthera stopping suddenly and looking in the direction of the nublar 5 and making these quiet clicks as they tilt their head questioningly, this is them ALERTING the handler there is something amiss. The handler stops walking the moment she hears these clicks which confirms these are indeed alerting vocalisations. The handler then turns to panthera- notice how she is able to see the direction panthera was looking in, she now knows panthera is alerting to something specifically in that direction. Panthera then proceeds to let out a few vocalisations, they're communicating to the handler that theres still someone there and its important.

The handler then leans down close to the raptor, close so she can watch for any small changes in their face. Panthera then raises their lip slightly and begins letting out quiet low growls- seemingly letting her know they can smell one of their targets.

We can see the handler squint slightly right after panthera does this, confirming this is the specific action that told her what was up. she pulls away with her brows furrowed looking in the direction pnathera pointed out. shes trying to figure out who it is. Tiger and ghost are also alerted to the targets at this point and are likely sniffing for the scent.

We cut to the nublar 5 spread out pointedly in 2 different groups.

When we cut back to the handler we see that ghost is looking in a completely different direction than panthera, the handlers eyes dart between that direction and the original direction- in that cut they have alerted her that there's targets in those two different locations.

This is when she starts to piece together exactly who is in there with her, its likely she doesnt have that many targets right now- cabrera was one but she just killed him. So from process of elimination shes able to recognise that the targets most likely to be here together are the nublar 5. She could have also been alerted offscreen to just how many of them there is, sadly during that cut the raptors could have done anything. (I did check to see if theres any vocalisations like 5 clicks from the raptors that could indicate they are telling her theres 5 but sadly couldnt point out any)

Anyway what matters is that the handler now knows that the nublar 5 are here and she knows their exact locations. She also knows they are in an enclosed space with her.

She quickly realises this is an easy kill. This is when she starts to smile, shes excited- her targets who keep escaping and pissing her off are trapped in there with her, theres literally no way for them to escape this time. (...Except they do 😬)

i genuinely cant develop this further but simon fucks you so good and so hard and so much (it lasts for many hours) before every mission because hes scared that this is his last time he’ll get to fuck you. it’s all inadvertent when he got you addicted to his cock and his love-making because, to be honest, these sessions are more for him than for you. his grunts and his pleasured rumbles and his dirty talk? theyre not to make you dizzy with pleasure, theyre to make him cum. he gets so lost in his own euphoria that its truly but an added bonus that you cum with him.

he doesn’t tell you this though

my initial knee jerk reaction to lucanis/spite saying "family, enemies, contracts" was bad because it felt like an oversimplification but actually thinking on it i really love that lucanis forces himself into this box to make things make sense in his life. family is unconditional, enemies are to be killed, but contracts is so. interesting... man who promises mila that he will find her father because he does not fail contracts. the same man who tells effe that he will kill her slaver because he needs to turn her from a poor young woman that he sympathises with, into someone he can make a deal with. it's not kindness, it's not weakness, he's just fulfilling a contract, and crows don't break contracts. if he kills a bunch of racist blood mages during that process, then he's not breaking the rules, just bending them. a very convenient excuse to be a good man while still being a crow and assassin. and of course when spite is forced into him, he gets out of it with something familiar! by making another deal! something he could work with, something he HAS to work with, because being just an abomination is unthinkable. if he can work himself out of this problem like he's done with every other contract in his life, in his mind maybe there's some tiny chance that this becomes another job that he can claw his life back from.

I think that in the revival dean and cas should lean their foreheads together and also maybe close their eyes and cry a little but also I'd probably flatline if this came to pass so. Yk

i am only half kidding when i say this but i think there was no hojo nor vincent in the picture and lucrecia had a oddly sexual dream featuring jenova & then got pregnant after… like im thinking a virgin mary situation that plays on sephiroth being born to be and viewed as a savior (but it ultimately being false)

I'm a broken record about this but after so many years of being left with the Axolotl poem about Bill, it'd be so lame if Bill never did reincarnate, and it'd be just as disappointing if it ended up being something minor like a cicada (although it'd be hilarious if he reincarnated, immediately died and then reincarnated into something else).

And to me, the wording of the original Axolotl poem really does make it seem like the reincarnation itself is the 'redemption' and the deal is that Bill is basically passing responsibility to someone else, after he's done with therapy and like.... doesn't pass down all of his many issues.

(Plus I dunno if it's my understanding of reincarnation that's wrong but it feels that when Bill is like 'yeah let me use the reset button!!!', he's forgetting that its way different from using a continue and he's just gonna end up with the equivalent of a shoddy new game plus made for a wrong character/setting at best)

Meanwhile, we're left with Bill poem about Stan that's the same in execution (a cryptic message between space and time and by that I mean hidden on the internet lol), with the same purpose (an opening/lingering mystery for Alex to use when he wants to return to the series) with the same elements (fire, lies, redemption, home) and numerous comparisons to Bill's own philosophy on lies that's repeated again in the same website.

(Also been thinking about how amnesiac!Stan could sorta be thought of as a reincarnation of himself in terms of mind only. The same soul being hit with that reset gun button, a chance of a new self unburdened by the past, but via the power of love and family they went nope!!! we want you back!!!)

Either way, with the poem and the book's ending there's the obvious Bill+Stan connection that we're supposed to acknowledge!!!
