#im totally normal i swear

[lewis-winters]

what i love so much about the 'going my way' scene is dick knows what he's doing so he's being coy and short like he always does, and even before dick is done saying 'so don't tell me' lew is jumping out of his seat to blab immediately. he found out the plans and was like, welp time to find my boy best friend and just come out with it. lew is kind of guarded with other people, even if it is charming, and with dick he just like...can't help but to show his cards every time

oh, don't get me started on the "going my way" because I have a whole rant about that.

first of all: yes, you are correct. lewis cannot seem to control himself around dick. i've said it all before (i'm a broken record now), but it's almost like loving someone as earnest and honest as dick has the effect of pulling truth from nix, whether he wants to or not. it works on dick, too, because we never really see dick as vulnerable as he is with anybody else but nix. they both recognize each other, and because they both recognize each other, the truth just comes pouring out of them like water through a broken glass. i mean. god. it shows, even in the VERY FIRST SCENE WITH THEM, as I've talked about before. they are INCAPABLE of lying or hiding from each other!!!!

second: i will never shut up about this, but the fact that there were only two instances wherein "going my way" was uttered (the second in an echo of the first) when it would make much more sense if there were three instead? well. i am happy to report that THERE WAS AN ORIGINAL THIRD "GOING MY WAY?"!!!!!!! this was from the original script with a scene from D-day eve:

(pic c/o @lupoteodoro)

notice how just before nix is introduced into the scene, the camera flashes over a picture of dick and de-etta, a girl who is, essentially, dick's girlfriend at the time.

THE FUCKING SUBTEXT OF THAT????? oh, here is a photo of a girl i am sweet on (well I mean in real life dick never referred to her as his girlfriend but as a girl he was talking to but like. cmon now, boy. that is your girlfriend), unceremoniously shoved into my bag JUST AS my boy best friend (with whom i share everything, from the sarcastic side i never let anyone else see, to my most vulnerable moments) is introduced into frame???? asking me, in that same flirtatious manner, "going my way?" my answer to it being????? a fucking smile?????

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE NORMAL ABOUT THAT????

ever read a fic and get the sudden urge to comment in all caps about how much you love it?? but you don’t want the writer to think you’re absolutely crazy..

[fist-of-vengeance]

just saw someone on tiktok discussing whether or not a character "deserved a redemption arc" and i am losing my mind. we as a society have lost sight of what a redemption arc IS. it doesn't mean a character is rewarded by the narrative. it doesn't mean the other characters forgive them. it only refers to a character acknowledging their mistakes and choosing to better themselves, which any person can do, no matter how terrible. of course there's no shortage of badly executed redemption arcs, and a character who willfully committed countless atrocities having a change of heart after a single conversation about the power of friendship is simply poor writing and unrealistic. not every character who CAN change WILL. but there is zero value in debating whether a character "deserved" to be redeemed. no one in fiction or reality needs to be "worthy" of making better choices. there is no fixed point where a person is "too evil" and therefore forbidden from doing anything differently. it's always worth it to change, and implying otherwise is both a genuinely harmful ideology and bad literary analysis

Day 2, Squid and Carnivorous

LOOK AT THIS PRETTY MAN HE SO PRETTY AHHH

First chapter of my mermay fanfic and some doodles. Warning, this newest chapter has blood

How flamboyant cuttlefish reader is put together and drawn is inspired by @zus-a-fungi's cuttlefish eclipse!!

[elsecrytt]

Played Homicipher last night and I'm super normal about it how are you guys doing today

Don't get me wrong Scarletella is a babe and all (his ends are JUICY) but,,, Crawling,,, his endings,, literally everything he does and how he acts,,, AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Especially bc the game is like just. 4-5ish hours or point and click and guessing games and the main draw is trying to understand and interact with the characters. There's so much empty space to fill.

Why were you brought here? Where is here? Why are Crawling and Scarletella so obsessed with you? What do these beings DO during their normal lives? What do they want? What the fuck is up with YOU actually???

There's so much space for fanfics. The fandom doesn't even have its own tag on Ao3 yet but I've found a few... oh my god the urge to write for it...hnnnghh....

Hey Revali, quick question, what do you think of people pairing you and Link together romantically? There seems to be a lot of them that think you and Link would make a great couple

Ugh- DISGUSTING! To even suggest I would stoop myself low enough to take a romantic interest in that utterly worthless, pathetic little runt of a knight is an insult!

I dispise him. Useless little wretch, all pretty face and no skills or talent. An arrogant knight too big for his britches. He's a disgrace. The fact he was given the oppertunity to weild the sword that seals the darkness over me is still the most frustratingly unfair thing to have ever happened. He's an idiot, fool. I would NEVER demean myself by liking him.

In fact, I hate him so much that I have an entire wall in my roost dedicated to just how vile and useless he is - to remind myself, and everyone who might visit, just how unworthy of a nobody he is!

HA! To think that people could ever suggest somone as incredible as I could possibly grow infatuated by someone like him! I dislike him so much that he haunts my dreams and waking thoughts with his annoying presence. Every day I must write woes in my journal about him - pages and pages of it, simply to remove the disgusting knight from my mind.

Would someone 'romantically interested' do that? HA! I think NOT.

louis and moran as foil characters drive me insane.

from the outside, moran had everything- a good family, good education, and a respectable military career. and louis had nothing- a sick orphan on the streets of london with no future. and they ended up in the same place- at william’s side.

and yet, moran was driven to join william out of desperation, while louis chose to be with william out of love.

moran had just faced the biggest betrayal of his life, lost all of his men and his hand, and was legally dead. he had nowhere to go, and in a complete absence of hope, found his through william. william became everything to him.

louis, meanwhile, was given a good life for the first time. he had a roof over his head, steady food. and healthcare. and yet, because of his love for his william, he burned it all down for him. for the first time in his life, he had hope, but he chose to put his faith in his brother.

it’s the difference between desperate devotion and a loving choice.

and i think that’s why, ultimately, louis persevered after the final problem while moran couldn’t.

moran had made william his purpose for existing, to the point where he’d help william kill himself if only he asked. despite his carefree attitude, he was loyal to the end. and his devotion outlived william, or at least he thought it did. he was completely free for the first time in years, and he still chose william.

he chose devotion, and never truly lived for three years.

louis, however, loved his brother moreso than he was devoted to him, and he decided that having william alive was more important than being loyal to him. it didn’t work in the end, though, despite his best efforts. his love outlived william, or so he thought. he was completely free for the first time in years, and he still chose william.

he chose love, and forced himself to keep living for three years.

moran and louis were dealt opposite hands in life, but made all the same choices. they ended up in completely different places for exactly the same reasons.

they are both opposites and parallels. exactly alike and nothing alike.

i just think it’s neat. is all.
