Note to self: write horror fic where Jon is an academic student brought to a remote island by the Lukas family to get practical field experience but they and the fishing village they run is real fucked up. I'm talking people walking into the sea and not coming back. I'm talking pets and birds and fish washing up on the beach. I'm talking a town that smells like fish on a good day, and shit and viscera on a bad one. Fishermen hauling up fucked up fish that make you sick to eat. People still eat them anyway.

Jon has to eat dinner with the Lukas family, in person, every night. He can't go outside after dark. They have rulrs, you see...

Also There's a murderer on the loose, mauling people like some kind of wild animal. The inhabitants say the island is cursed.

Jon is a skeptic and doesn't believe anything that's happening is anything more than coincidence, rumors and sheer bad luck. Even when he stumbled across a dude getting eaten alive.

Also Peter is there! :)

"Do you think she knows y-" She does. She knows I love her. She is reminded every single day of our lives together. She uses that fact against me every opportunity she gets.

Alastor, Vox, and Smiles

Sooo I noticed in Episode 2 when we're introduced to Vox's character for the first time he spends a considerable amount of time forcibly putting on a smile when around other people.

For the cameras

Then for Velvette

And then when trying to calm Valentino down

Now that we have confirmation that Vox and Alastor used to be friends* because of the torn photo, Alastor's speech to Charlie about smiling to put up a facade for various reasons just highlights the similarities between Alastor and Vox. Almost like they have the same philosophy and tactics when it comes to manipulating those around them, huh?

(*I say "friends" because you don't just have pictures taken with mere "acquaintances", tear the so-called acquaintance out of the picture when mad, and then keep the torn photo for years and years. Vox didn't even throw away the torn part, the whole point of tearing someone out of a picture is to get rid of them and he straight up kept Alastor's torn half of the picture lol. And I don't think they were ever business partners because Alastor said "no" to "joining Vox's team". Plus, I highly doubt Vox would be as vehemently pissed off at Alastor if they were just acquaintances... So I feel like they were at the very least friends. Maybe even more than friends...)

Alastor is undoubtedly better than Vox at maintaining the facade, but still... I just think it's interesting that they share such a similar philosophy for interacting with others. Add to it that Alastor clearly knows how to press Vox's buttons (heh) so well that he can send him into a blackout and it's just more and more evident that they used to be close at one point. Close enough for Alastor to teach Vox some of his tricks for manipulation or Vox to pick up the same habits.

Alright so I'm not saying anything happened in the Honda Odyssey.

However. I am saying that whatever did happen, Logan won.

Wade was getting his ass kicked the whole time. He got a few good shots on Wolverine but for the most part, he wasn't winning at all lmao. At the end of it, he was completely tied up like?? "I'm going to fight you now" yeah and badly motherfucker, damn

Reminds me of that one Modern Family episode

Wow, it would be awkward if you saw the guy you crushed, right? 🤔

[guardianspirits13]

Thinking about Charles right now...

Charles who turned on his teammates to save a beaten kid knowing they might turn back on him. Charles, whose first thought after dying was to acknowledge the struggles of someone else.

Charles, who saw the poster of a lost girl whose parents loved and missed her so he travelled halfway around the world to reunite them.

Charles, who hears about a family murdered by an angry father and insists on helping them, despite anticipating the pain it would cause himself.

Charles, for whom the need to help and save and lift others up is in his bones.

Charles who needs so desperately to be loved by everyone around him, wants nothing more than to be a good person, and yet remains convinced he never will be. Charles, who puts on a smile because somebody needs to keep up morale. Charles who puts others' emotions above himself and hopes that it might help heal his own wounds, too.

Charles, who is loved so deeply and yet feels undeserving.

Just. Charles

doors. coffeeshop. being followed. doors. where have i seen that before huh

[deuteragonist1]

Merthur really have it all huh. King and lionheart dynamic. Fucking hate at first sight then speedrun to trying to die for the other. Slow burn? Never heard of her. One of them wears gloves and one doesn't and I'm not even gonna bother to explain why that is top fucking tier. Lies and secrets that could bring about the doom of the kingdom. Obviously adore each other but will actually fucking die before saying it with actual words. The prince is a gigantic asshole who doesn't know how to show care or ask for attention like a person who had healthy emotional development as a child and oscillates between pulling pigtails and acting like an over-eager puppy or both at the same time. Domesticity levels previously unheard of. They canonically wear each other's clothes. One of them makes up words and the other promptly starts using them. Both are extremely into the other's specific brand of dumbassery. Their love language is fucking playing together. "I don't want you to change" fuck this fuck everything
