from what I infer from some of his dialogue, my guess is that while lucanis hasn't had a proper relationship before he has had one night stands and short term flings. and -- listen, I know he's a dick and a menace and probably a hopeless case but please do still spare illario dellamorte a moment of your thoughts and pity for the role of incredulous yet intrepid wing man that he's all but certainly had to play on several occasions for that to happen. there are 100% people out there who were trying SO fucking hard to get no strings attached laid by this stupidly hot emotionally unavailable mysterious stranger who won't be in town for long without lucanis ever realizing it. people who would have remained tragically unlaid if illario weren't there to clue him in.
I'm just imagining Illario staring in pure dismay and disbelief at his dumbass of a cousin failing to pick up what someone isn't just putting down but scattering all over the floor like glittery confetti burning with a magnesium flame brightness to spell out 'SIR PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RAIL ME THIS IS AN OFFICIAL ENTHUSIASTIC INVITATION TO MY BED' and having to push him out the door after them like 'maker's breath sometimes i don't understand how you have the wits to grip the right end of a knife, lucanis, they were throwing themselves at you and you just stared at them in mild puzzlement until they gave up and went away go fucking GET THEM for the sake of my sanity if nothing else!!!'
#'oh was THAT what that was' lucanis realizes as illario all but throws him onto the person's lap and walks away shaking his head#once he was actually there and the stiuation and what's expected of him were understood I think he'd do wonderfully!#but provably he uh. takes some clueing in at times#illario 'cousin one day you will have fun even if it kills me' dellamorte (dramatic irony edition)#tfw your cousin-brother is SO hot. and so autistic.#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#illario dellamorte#lucanis dellamorte#every day I think about 'get that man to stop yelling at me'. illario snooze that guy for me please. their *Dynamic*.#i finished murder of crows last night and the way lucanis' 'not. now' is so out of proportion to what's actually happened.#he sounds mildly annoyed. like illario blunted one of his knives or something instead of shredded his soul. this family is. something#we never get how much of illario's 'that isn't even my cousin that's a demon' shit is real beneath the. general scarness of him lol#but you know what I call that? free narrative real estate. I'm going to go ahead and make myself so so sad about this for no reason <3#illario loves and hates this guy in ways even he himself doesn't understand. so annoying when abel gets back up again#and still wants you to come to family dinner tonight while your hands are dripping with his blood#if anyone had to listen to lucanis anxiously deciding what would be the best way to court the prickliest man in thedas#and deciding on one of the worst possible options. it was illario. again he sucks and he deserves this. but still. the mind boggles

so like do you think they made the plastic wheelchair ALONGSIDE the plastic prison as a Just In Case situation, only after they realized charles was going to be a frequent visitor, or both as in because they knew charles was going to be the only person visiting him during planning they decided to make him a chair ahead of time
#xmen#x2: x men united#charles xavier#erik lehnsherr#cherik#not really but yes it is#snap chats#secret fourth option is they just had a plastic wheelchair at the mansion just in case this incredibly specific scenario happened jvlkaervj#part of me hopes the staff just Knew cause imagine being THAT divorced publicly but another part hopes erik asked for one. not politely ofc#def joked bout how charles couldnt think to leave him alone for five minutes lest he did something Uncouth somehow ik he did#that charles was going to show up sooner or later so they might as well make it easy for themselves and prep etc etc#girl ima throw up what if charles didnt visit tho .... thats not even a possibility cause ofc he did but still !!!!#personally id throw up and cry like wdym my best friend ex husband didnt show up. when i even asked for a chair for him ..#EVEN ASKED FOR A SILLY LIL PLASTIC CHESS SET alternatively what if charles brought that... im making myself sick#As Indicated By My Username i think of the plastic jail every day its so funny to me and so quaint#i should rewatch X2 just for plastic jail#like it makes sense and i do think its a cute detail but still. gotta put grandpa in the polly pocket prison set now. tragic !!#i remember watching the movie for the first time in recent years and audibly going 'aw' at the plastic wheelchair im so sorry JVLKEJKA#LIKE AWW CMON THATS WEIRDLY CUTE gotta make sure peepaw can visit his ex husband </3 so they can play chess </3#i love that chess is Their Thing ... any time a ship's got mfers who fucks heavy with chess i know im hooked#its not intentional things happen this way but i will still laugh#kk nightly cherik posting is done byebye

Part 1 of this thing that doesn’t actually have a steady flow
But wouldn’t it be so funny that the guy you get along with just fine is the brother of the guy that you feel like wanting to shower after making eye contact? Because I think it is
Apologies for the weird colors I did my best with the lighting I have 🧎‍♀️

I feel like we are all sleeping on the fan fiction potential given to us from Deadpool and Wolverine using their bodies to make a circuit with matter and anti-matter
Who knows what that could do to a person, you could write a fic where that caused anything your heart could think up.

masterlist
<- previous ; next ->
it’s been a few days since the clubbing incident and you haven’t been responding to anyone
you’d gotten a text from an unknown number that introduced themselves as yoongi and said that he got your number from taehyung to ask where you were
and why you had left so suddenly
you’ve been in bed all weekend, looking a mess
you weren’t responding to anyone and tae had started begging to just let him know that you were safe
and you texted him that you were home and just wanted to be alone
and now you’re by yourself
why
and how
did you ever let that punk get to you like this
get serious!!!
his words should mean nothing to you!!!
and you put him in his place!!
you definitely made your feelings towards him CLEAR
but you’ll also never forget the way he looked at you
instant regret settled on his features
toward the end of your harsh rant, his teeth were anxiously nibbling in his bottom lip you were surprised he didn’t end up bleeding
seeing him so stressed and anxious was so different to his usual stoic and cocky self
not to mention–
knock knock knock knock knock
who the fawk is knocking at your door at 9pm on a sunday
man
what’s going on
you slowly get up and make your way to your front door, cracking it open and peeking with one eye
“you had me worried, y/n.” taehyung’s voice is lathered in genuineness
you sigh and open the door for him, allowing him to pull you into a tight hug
“what happened? i assumed the worst happened to you in that club. one minute you were dancing with yoongi and then you were gone and i don’t hear from you at all.”
he sways with you from left to right, soothingly rubbing your back
you blink back your tears and just inhale his familiar scent
he smells like musk and cookies
you love his scent
:(
“you didn’t get–” he pauses, “like no one tried to–” he pauses again, “like did someone–”
huh
oh
okay
you realize he’s trying to ask you if you’d gotten sexually harassed or assaulted
“no, tae. nothing of the sort.” you pull back and look up at him, rubbing his chest
he visibly relaxes and brings his hand up to your face, rubbing out the scrunch between your brows
“then what happened, babe?”
you quietly sigh and shake your head in dismissal. “nothing. i felt sick. went home. been in bed for 2 days.”
“but why didn’t you answer my texts? or yoongi’s? we were seriously worried, y/n.”
sigh
“i’m sorry.” you flick his forehead and it allows you to escape his embrace
he follows you to your living room and jumps onto your couch
“don’t jump on my furniture!!!!”
he ignores you and reaches for your remote before turning the tv on.
“you got any snacks?” he asks you, feet up on the table
annoying little fuck
you kick his feet off your table. “not for you.”
he whines loudly but then sits up right and glances at you. “so, we wanna go on a camping trip and we’re wondering… if you’d wanna join?”
you look at him as you sit down next to him, snatching the remote out of his hand. “and who is we?”
he chuckles, “i don’t have a whole lot of friends, y/n.”
“taehyung, you literally say ‘hey, what’s up’ about 30 times a minute when we’re walking on campus.”
“acquaintances aren’t friends!”
well, he’s right
hmm
well
but … he is tae’s friend
“so, your usual friend group?”
“yep.”
ughhh you want to ask him directly
“i’d be the only woman there?”
he shrugs his shoulders. “does that bother you? if it does, you can ask one of your own friends to tag along. like eunbi.”
record scratch
should you ask eunbi?
the chance of that man [horror music] coming with you is low, he’s a homebody
and you don’t wanna ask tae if he’s coming because that would be weird
he’d ask you why you’re interested in that FUCKBOY joining you or not
it’s best not to ask eunbi at all
just to avoid drama
right?
“when do y’all wanna go?”
he looks like he’s contemplating something for a moment before responding with, “next week friday right after class since everyone only has morning classes.”
okay makes sense
“okay and how do y’all wanna go?”
all the others have graduated but most of you don’t have vehicles
“by train. seokjin is the only one that’ll go by car because he actually has one. and then we’ll have a car there for if we need to buy something or for emergencies.”
oh
they’ve thought this through
hm
“i hate bugs, though.”
he chuckles, “i will protect you.”
“make that yoongi and we have a deal.”
he laughs loudly, “okay then, yoongi will protect you.”
“will i be sharing my tent with him?” you quip while batting your eyelashes at him innocently
“calm it down, you minx.”
you both laugh for a few more moments, talking more about the place and camping itself
“so, you in?” tae asks with all the stars present in his eyes
how can you say no to that?
hmmm
you could use some time to relax
“alright, sure.”
and that’s how you find yourself fidgeting with the handle of your suitcase that next friday
standing in front of the train
taehyung, yoongi, jimin and hoseok are loading their suitcases onto the train
2 female friends of hoseok and taehyung have joined, by the names of hyunjoo and isabella
seeing another foreigner like isabella here already made it easy to get along with her
hyunjoo is also really sweet but she’s rather quiet
joon joined seokjin in the car so he didn’t have to drive that long on his own
you’ve got the biggest suitcase of everyone so you’re being helped last
jerks.
the guys are busy with hyunjoo and isabella’s baggage now
you rub your face, collecting some of the sweat that had started forming on your skin
you didn’t think it was going to be this hot tbh?
hoseok said something about there being like a bathhouse 20 mins away from where you will be camping so
sweat shouldn’t be that big of a problem, you’ll just make sure to visit that bathhouse daily
you also brought like extra sleeping bags because you wanna bury yourself basically
you know you’ll be freezing at night like always
what else did you pack?
just as you mindlessly reach for your suitcase again, you’re met with air
your hand continues to grab at air
until you realize
your suitcase is gone
wait
YOUR SUITCASE IS GONE
WHAT THE HELL
you turn around and see someone with your suitcase in hand
but
tae,, yoongi, jimin and hoseok are … all the way over there?
oh
ah
right
okay
your penny has just dropped and so did your heart. STRAIGHT into your ass.
why
is
he
here
???
://
you reach for the handle of your suitcase to snatch it out of his grasp
but he doesn’t let you as he pulls it out of your reach
“just let me help you.” jungkook’s voice reaches your ears but he doesn’t even look at you as he continues to carry your suitcase and loading it into the train
he sounds
different
that usual confidence and arrogance he carries himself with is gone
it’s kinda like the same jungkook you’ve always known and not the jungkook you’ve had the displeasure of interacting with these past few weeks
is this his way of being apologetic?
narcissism at it’s finest
everyone starts filing into the train but yoongi is waiting by the door
you walk up to him and he motions for you to get in first
you sigh quietly and smile at him as you walk onto the train
he follows right behind you and places his hand on your back as you walk further into the train
you see jungkook all the way at the front, all the way at the left against the window, wearing his headset but the only two seats that are free are the ones .. right … in front of him
you’ve pretended jk isn’t here pretty well until you make it all the way to your seat and make eye contact with him
he glances at you, teeth sunk into his bottom lip
just as he parts his lips to say something to you
you take your seat right in front of him and yoongi sits down right next to you, directly facing jungkook
ur right across from him
like… your feet and knees are almost touching each other
the look on jungkook’s face had softened for that split second with an apologetic glint in his eyes
but ur not gonna let him mess with your head, not on this 3 hour trip
yoongi leans over to you and whispers these next few words into your ears, “i haven’t seen you since that club, how you been?”
your shoulder gently jerks at his breath hitting your neck and yoongi chuckles at that
you can’t help it
you try not to you really try not to
you glance at jungkook and he’s staring straight at you
the way he’s staring straight at you, teeth anxiously nibbling and picking at his lip rings, showers your entire body in lava
you quickly avert your gaze and you turn your head to say, “i just felt sick. must’ve been the alcohol,” to yoongi
he nods and pulls out his phone. he connects his earbuds to it and offers you one of the earbuds
omg
wait why is this so cute
you feel like ur back in high school
a small smile creeps on your lips as you accept it and put it into your own ear
you notice jungkook’s leg bouncing up and down in anxiety
you drop your head onto yoongi’s shoulder and throw your leg over the other before closing your eyes
just act like he’s not right in front of you
you’re just here with friends
and your head is on yoongi’s shoulder
plus he’s sharing his music with you!!!
that’s a big thing!!!!!!!!
and you allow yourself to zone out <3
you stir and realize you’re being woken up by a soft hand shaking your knee
you hear your name quietly being called
you open your eyes and see big black eyes staring down at you
“we’re here.” jungkook’s soft voice reaches you like liquid gold being ladled into your ears by angels
you blink a couple times and realize you’re still wearing yoongi’s earbud
you look to your side and notice yoongi is gone
“he went to the restroom,” jungkook replies quietly
you don’t respond as you collect yourself and slowly gather your stuff
jungkook quietly does the same but is constantly glancing at you
when you move to step out of the seating area, he gently taps your shoulder
you look over your shoulder at him, still not a single word on your lips for him
“can we talk?” he asks quietly, dropping his hand after catching your attention
uh uhh.. ur not gonna let him ruin your trip
you are NOT
you cried for 2 days in your fucking bed over a geeky junior. ur never allowing that again
“what is there left to talk about?” the words leave you in a harsh tone and if anyone was around that didn’t know the situation, they’d paint you out as the villain
but they don’t get it
they don’t know what it was like when he tore you down
“i think we should talk about the misunderstand–”
“misunderstanding?” you echo in disbelief before letting out a humorless chuckle.
you continue, “there is no misunderstanding, jungkook. i think i made myself pretty fucking clear that night. and so did you.”
he doesn’t give up, though. “please?”
you sigh quietly and glance up at him, all the painful words he said to you still clouding your mind
attention-seeking
tryhard
no one likes that about you
does he even deserve to talk it out?
to be continued

Clover's personality/mbti pt.2
PLEASE REBLOG IF YOU CAN (THIS AND MY PREVIOUS TWO BLOGS ABOUT CLOVER'S PERSONALITY), I WOULD LOVE MORE PEOPLE TO SEE MY UTY MBTI SERIES (TYSM)
When I said Clover has a more of a subjective than an objective train of thought, I also meant this: stealing money and stealing food is not OK in general but it is OK to them. They sure listen to themselves ↓
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They have more of a creative than a mechanical mind (but in order to deal with a lot of the situations they were in, they had to use their head to survive), look at these ↓
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
they literally linked this situation with a saying (this is so something an intuitive like myself would do)
Clover's thinking function was more prominent in the vengeance route; their thinking is activated to the maximum here instead of empathy, but it's still subjective since they still have that Fi paired up with Te (see my last post). The sad thing about genocide is how Clover loses absolutely everything that made them who they are in pacifist:
Tumblr media
empathy gone
Tumblr media
warmth gone (even Flowey feels their heart growing colder)
Tumblr media
naivety gone
Tumblr media
creativity gone
Tumblr media
humor gone
Clover has always been kind, so I don't think their auxiliary is Fe. That isn't what needs to develop, or the weakest part about their way of thinking, the one that will shape them into who they were always meant to be.
Because they only felt kindness towards their own race, that's the problem. Clover was judgmental and thought they were doing the right thing, completely disregarding the monsters' side of the situation. Vengenace Clover is the other side of pacifist Clover's coin. This is what I mean ↓
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this type of capable of so much kindness but at the same time, if unhealthy, the effect is the complete opposite
That means the Clover in genocide IS the same Clover, but who made difference subjective choices. Whose justice for the children they didn't even know (they, once again, subjectively decided that the children had been innocent, as Martlet pointed out too) was so strong that they refused to see the truth: how both species struggled in this war.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
we can see Clover is still "idealistic" but tunnel visioned
"Normal" Clover is open minded, non judgemental and accepting of differences. They can put themselves in others shoes, but in genocide they're the opposite because they gave in to their "dark side" The reason I said they're the same Clover, is that, when I looked at the mbti people gave them, I saw this ↓
Tumblr media
I knew right away it can't be right that the same character is a different type when they're at their best and worst. It had to mean that they're neither of the two types people thought
Clover had been introduced to a lot of different problems they had to constantly deal with and get out of the "comfort zone" that are the Ruins. Toriel undoubtedly told them about the kids, and then Clover decided to stay safe rather than jump into adventure. That's what got me thinking: "Their reason for being here has to do with morality: it is Clover who thinks how it's not right for no one to go look for the children." It's more their own values of what's right, than their own truth. They follow the heart more than the head (although the Te becomes developed as the adventure unfolds and they are faced with difficulties), even in geno (see the previous two posts for more about this point)
To learn to solve real world problems using logic, to step up and take charge, "defuse situations" and "mend relationships" by using both thinking and feeling, to become a leader and a hero, that's Clover's end goal.
Look at Clover from their first run (being protected all their life) and Clover from their 100th+ (faces challenges bravely and willingly dies a hero)

Y'know the thing about writing feral/unhinged versions of Orion/Optimus, is that you can't go too far into the feral/unhinged direction to a point where OP's core character traits are lost or become too diminished. After all, in a multiple-continuity franchise like TF, part of what makes the stories make sense is that even if details change (sometimes major details), the characters are still recognizably themselves to one degree or another. (Although this isn't always the case due to executive meddling or some characters being such blank slates from their initial G1 appearances that there's basically nothing to model them off of, but I digress.)
It's pretty much another reason why I love IDW1 Optimus, bc he literally is a canonical feral/unhinged Optimus who's unhinged as a direct consequence of who he is as a person and what he's been through. Like, he still has those fundamental character traits of trying his best to be moral and make good choices, trying to be a role model, etc, except after 4 million years of war and untreated depression he's basically holding onto his sense of self by his fingertips. So when he "goes feral" e.g. losing his temper and beating up/killing people or saying hurtful things, he's feral in a way that's directly tied to his normal personality and not just as a random quirk he has.
IDW OP's feral moments arise from the gaps between "Optimus' attempts to be who he thinks he needs to be" and "the reality of the world that he can't fix/seems to only make worse" that cause him to lose hope, or become cynical, or lose his temper. But in this case, the unhinged-ness makes perfect sense because it arises out of Optimus trying and failing to be the best person or to make the most morally good choices he's trying to make. Basically, the "feral/unhinged" label is just another way of me trying to say that he's not just unhinged because he's weird or because he's a bad person, but because it's an emotional reaction (more like an emotional explosion due to pent-up emotions) to the context he exists in.
I'd also say that IDW OP's personality being generally reserved/stoic and (trying to be) noble works in tandem with those moments he has of going feral because it makes him more realistic. His psyche is treated in a way where the writers are like, "Hey what if the pressure of having to be everyone's idol and be the best person in the galaxy at all times actually broke Optimus down mentally and emotionally?" It makes IDW OP far more relatable. Instead of naturally being a perfect Christ-like figure who never wavers in his morals or convictions and is just naturally a nice person who always has the wisest and best answer, being a good person is something that IDW OP has to consciously strive to be. Even when he feels like it's useless, or the cycle of violence will never stop, or any attempts he makes to help only ends up with things becoming worse.
And I feel like this does a service not only to IDW Optimus as a character, but also as a sort of moral/philosophical perspective for the reader to ponder upon? I feel like culture at large (or at least my experience of it) tends to believe that "goodness" in a person is simply an innate feature that people are born/not born with, and that being "good" means that you must be good at all times, both in your actions as well as the way you feel emotionally about yourself and the world. Like, there's a tendency for our vision of "a good person" to be good in every aspect at all times without having to try to be a good person. So I think IDW Optimus' character stands as a good example of how someone can be good at heart but still struggle to maintain those feelings of optimism and hope and justice. It's a good idea to have such a paragon of a character (in-universe and out-of-universe) be so conflicted and to even be mistaken, misguided, or make things worse because it shows that goodness is as much about "trying to behave/act in a way that is good" and not just "existing as an innately good person."
It's way more realistic for a person to want to be good, try to be good, and sometimes/often fail than it is for them to just be a good person. I enjoy the fact that IDW Optimus is both a good person at heart, but also has to strive to be a good person and live up to other people's expectations of what they see in him. I like how he wants to be a good person and change society for the better, but he also spends a good amount of time either feeling hopeless and alone or being angry at/detached from other people because of how frustrated they make him. He's realistically portrayed as someone who wants to be good and hopeful and change things for the better, but is also mentally and emotionally broken by that burden because of how impossible it is for him to Fix Everything and be the Perfect Prime/Leader/Autobot that people see him as. It's this fascinating mixture of "yes, this is who he is as a person" but also "there are things he desires to be that he could never possibly become or live up to."
This got really far off based from feral/unhinged Optimus sdklfjaslkdlfkas. The TLDR is that if people want unhinged OP, I feel like they should give IDW OP a chance because he IS unhinged but he's unhinged in a way that's a realistic/thematic representation of how being an Absolute Good is impossible. And how being a good person isn't just about Existing And You Are A Good Person, but rather goodness is a constant state of flux in which you adjust, you make mistakes, you lose your temper and feel hopeless, but then you pick yourself up and try again.
Tumblr media
Also IDW OP really likes climbing in dangerous wilderness and jumping out of flying vehicles which I think is very feral and sexy of him to do.
#squiggposting#idw op love#idk if i adequately explained it in the body of the post. but i really do feel some kind of way about the idea of like#being a good person isn't about just being static. always being the same person. just naturally being good and nice all teh time#but rather being a good person will cause you to be CHALLENGED and being a good person calls you to ACT#and you WILL make mistakes. there's never a situation in which you're all wise and always have the right solution or are infinitely patient#but goodness is something you can CHOOSE something you can BECOME and you can still have negative emotions and CHOOSE to be good#like being a good person is a continuous process of self improvement. you aren't just born a good person#and i'm not trying to tear down the notion of 'goodness' or say it doesn't exist#rather i'm trying to say that it's far more comforting to hear that you don't have to be The Best Person at all times#it's comforting to know that good people aren't just Effortlessly Good because they were Just Born That Way Naturally#there certainly are some people like that but most of us aren't like that. and i just like idw op for that reason#he shows that like. you can be a fucked up mentally ill guy who despairs and loses his temper and is basically suicidal#but you also still genuinely try to be hopeful and try to help others. like you are good because you Try To Be Good#and you Try To Hold Onto Your Principles bc giving up or becoming evil isn't an option for you#but also trying to be A Good Person drives you fucking crazy bc we live in a universe where that perfect good simply isn't possible#so the result is an optimus who's at once Noble Paragon and Unhinged bc he's unhinged as a result of trying to be a paragon

Also I love love loooove that the very first scene of book one is relos var and khaemezra in a bidding war for kihrin while he rapidly alternates back and forth between which of them is going to be less terrible for his life if they win because man if that isn’t a fantastic summary of the series as a whole.

if rimmer was half smart in mechocracy for his presidential campaign he couldve used anecdotes from his experience as a soft light hologram before he got his hard light drive .. like yeah to an extent he still wouldve been pulling absolute heaps of horseshit out of his ass but technically him being a hologram still makes him a machine in a way.
like when he was exclusively soft light he had a lot less actual autonomy as a machine as he most often had to rely on holly or the scutters to holographically project/do everything for him. if hed used that it wouldve added at least the tiniest grain of substance to his campaign but he just ... never mentioned that once & just focused on slagging kryten instead

sometimes a show throws a scenario at you that you could see coming a hundred miles off but that in no way is gonna prevent you from going absolutely feral over it. Anyway I binged all of Link Click in like three days and I'm going to start chewing furniture about the end of S2

bonus Alphy and other Tempest:

(X) Silly goofy guys. (There was also one of Windy in a t-shirt that said “don’t mess with my wife” but it didn’t fit)

(X) This one is really good for some portraits but less good for others… kinda meh on Grillby and Asteri, but Windy and Tempest look good. (Had to play around with Tempest’s nose, though— I keep forgetting it’s not quite the same as the other version’s.) Tempest, Grillby, and Asteri do not all have the same skin tone but there were very limited options in that regard…

WORMS! It’s hard to balance the different versions when I’m doing something like this where they’re not even human. So, Grillby works both ways, and here’s the Wingdings and normal Asteri ones for fun. (She looks REALLY good as a worm):

(X) Worms…
And lastly, as a bonus: POV you got Windy sprinkle donuts

(X) He’s had a pretty rough life week so the gift is appreciated.

actually natori has some kind of tracking talisman on matoba at all times. that's how he knew where to abduct matoba from for Operation: Kitty Cat City. matoba fully knows about it; it's why he wasn't at all surprised to find a paper doll in natsume's hair after the mask youkai debacle (matoba internally as he watched it fly away: classic mother hen shuuichi-san momence 🥰). because this is matoba "boundaries? what are those? can you eat them?" seiji we're talking about, he's not bothered by this "violation" of his "privacy"; rather, he finds it fittingly clingy (it is, after all, only right that natori should be keeping tabs on him obsessively). sometimes the talisman gets confused and sticks to yesterday's outfit, so he always checks to make sure he has it on the way out the door (his pocket patdown is "keys, lighter, wallet, exorcism supplies, shuuichi-san's cute lil tracker he thinks i don't know about <3"). i wouldn't be surprised if he's figured out how to uno reverse it and now uses it to track natori's location as well. this may not technically be canon but it is probably all 100% true in an important way that transcends canon, we just never hear about it because it isn't relevant to natsume's journey 😌
#matoba: a natori talisman. sure wish i had one of those 😇#<-knows that he has one on him at that very moment and also that natori doesn't know that he knows#convince me that he didn't say this on purpose to make natori sweat. you can't!#in response to him saying that natori side-eyes him and has a dot dot dot speech bubble (my favorite vol. 26 ellipsis btw)#which is exactly how he would react if he had secretly planted a talisman on matoba#and was trying to figure out if matoba knew and was alluding to it!!#check and mate. game set match. QED. i rest my case.#i've connected the dots i've connected them but also i feel like it wasn't that hard. the truth is out there you just have to believe#natsume's book of friends#natsume yuujinchou#horrible exorcists#matoba seiji#f#homura cats arc#my posts#btw i do not think the head of the matoba clan actually does anything so base as to carry keys on his person#he has people for that. he has a driver. he has servants who open the door when they see him coming. what possible need could he have#for such an object#he also may not need to carry a wallet (or equivalent) for similar reasons#but it was the best shorthand i could think of to make what i meant by 'pocket patdown' readily apparent#especially since 'cell phone' isn't an option either since this is set in the 80s#i figure he must have some kind of lighter or firestarter bc he uses smoke to find the source of the locked-room curse#he also seems to carry a brush & ink and various & sundry tools of the trade that i decided to call 'exorcism supplies'#matoba-san drop the 'what's in my purse' youtube video 👀

it’s interesting how in the alternate sara minisode ending, her thought process isn’t really “if I loved joe more, I could’ve saved him”, the massacre ending she imagined with him is more focused on her guilt for killing everyone else rather than her guilt for not saving him. it’s “if I loved joe more, we would both end up with blood on our hands, that’s why I shouldn’t get too close to people.”
there’s no english translation of joe’s light novel sadly, but I remember reading a summary of it a while back, and joe actually has similar feelings about how escaping with sara would’ve been a bad choice. as he dies, he has a dream about what would happen: ryoko and all his friends would call him a murderer, he would become a cop so he could save people and make up for the people he killed, but the guilt would stay with him for the rest of his life. he hears sara crying, and his last thoughts are that he would do anything to make her stop.
both of them ultimately decide that the guilt of killing everyone else would not have been worth escaping together. they don’t want to be murderers, and they especially don’t want to make each other murderers.
