Eddie actually being Wayne's son though.
Stay with me here, Wayne is the nicer brother. He never had any of those nasty tendencies like Al did, wasn't trying to make a quick buck doing something shady, an he was always there picking up the pieces whenever Eddie's mother wound up suffering Al's bullshit.
Now, it was easy to fake it, to convince Al that Eddie was his, Al wasn't the brightest spark, an it was safer for Wayne too, who'd really only slept with her once, one night of drinking, laughing, joking, and her admitting that she'd wished she'd met him first, foolish, drunk one night stand born of wishes for a different life and enough alcohol to forget the one they'd actually been living, and nine months later out popped Eddie.
Al didn't even question it, his nerd of a brother? Nah, he didn't have it in him to get with HIS woman.
Maybe his swimmers weren't as lame as he thought they were. Maybe the drugs he'd been taking for years hadn't left him shooting blanks like he'd feared they had.
He had a kid! Definitely his, even though he stayed skinny like his uncle, found interests in nerd stuff like his uncle, in storytelling and theatrics.
Definitely Al Munson's son right there.
But actually, Eddie was Wayne's biological son.
It was obvious, too, as he grew up. Always the soft hearted one, the gentleman, the storyteller, the theatric little nerd. He grew tall and sturdy like Wayne, rather than broad and rotund like Al, he got his mother's hair and her eyes too but everything else?
It's all Wayne.
This is my hc now OK bye.
#Eddie Munson#wayne munson#Wayne being his actual biological father#while Eddie just thinks hes his uncle#wayne knows cause ofc he does#Al's been shooting blanks for years#its not hard to connect the dots#hes just glad Al is a dumb fuck.

One wedding and three funerals
Background paintings under the cut
#tomgreg#succession#tom wambsgans#greg hirsch#shiv roy#roman roy#kendall roy#yeah no im not tagging everyone thats too much#this is me going 'how much implications themes and symbolism can i fit in one painting'#yes i gave rose shivs haircolor. if we ever find out how she looks like and its not like this im just gonna pass away i guess#but yeah i hope yall connect the dots#i put waaay too much thought and work into this. i was googling pictures of all the actors as kids just for reference (sigh)#honestly kinda wanted to make tom and greg link pinkies as like. a pinkie promise. but that was too hard to draw in this angle#at least not without obstructing the view of the ring which is important to see so ya#my fave is actually the tomshiv wedding pic i went off with that. i love them... they should have run away to become sheep farmers fr fr#anyway im so glad im done with this UGH!! finally i can draw smth else without being like oh noooo i need to finish this#i see a lot of you wondering why there is no portrait of logan but one of ewan#it's bc the placement of the painting represent their standing. logans portray would not hang next to the stairs#his present portrait hangs at the end of it. all the way up at the top. alone and withering away#basically the picture you see underneath ewan to the right? its where toms parents would be. the right side of the wall is tom and gregs#and the left one is the roy siblings theirs. since they grew up rich rich. and tom and greg didn't#but ya thats why ewan hangs here and logan does not :)

It's kind of funny that Kendall and Shiv are both equally delusional about their ability to charm people for business and somehow think they can do it even though they choke almost every single time, whereas it's like the one thing Roman is consistently good at despite being the "least legitimate" option.
I think part of this comes down to the fact that Shiv and Kendall both have very clear ideas of the versions of themselves they're trying to be and the images they're trying to project, and they're trying so hard to be seen that way that they end up coming off as a little desperate and off-putting. Meanwhile Roman "knows" that there's something wrong with him and he's worthless, so he doesn't get sucked into the trap of trying to force people to see his idea of himself and instead molds himself into whatever he thinks the other person wants from him because that's the only way he can compensate for "being him," which works very well in the short term but also means he's the least capable of maintaining any relationship for very long because he has no sense of self.
#this was going to be a joke about kendall consistently failing to charm anyone that isn't stewy (and still for some reason thinking he's#good at it) but then i thought about it too hard and started connecting dots#but it is really interesting on a character level to analyze the different ways the siblings act when they're trying to win someone over#kendall and shiv will try to find common ground but they always end up pushing too hard and overplaying their hands because they're#focusing too much on wanting to get the person to take them seriously or see them the way they want to be seen#and roman will test the waters a bit but not say anything definitive until he get the person talking and can see what it is they want#and then just says whatever it is he thinks they want to hear#which also makes a lot of sense with the abuse dynamics since he was the one most likely to actually get hit so the goal is to just make#sure dad never gets angry at you and tell him whatever you need to to avoid that because the consequences will be worse#anyways its 2 am here you go#succession#kendall roy#shiv roy#roman roy

A himbo, as promised
This look is what happens when you try to be Y2K but youve only ever seen Earth in vintage tourism brochures
#i thought that one CAS challenge with harajuku fashion was hard...#girl i do not understand y2k at ALL i am looking at all these refs trying to connect the dots and not finding a single fucking dot#some of its grunge. some of its techwear. some of its just random shit#HOW are people categorizing this stuff how does it all fit together i dont understand...#so anyway all that to say i leaned hard on some staples and then felt self conscious and tacked accessories on#which i KNOW makes it further from the Look but it covers up the insecurity 👍#i might go back and re-style him one day bc he looked good in a LOT of stuff#and id love to explore what i mightve put him in if not doing a challenge.#hes lovely!#and his eyes are grey i PROMISE hes just got those swag shades on so you cant really tell :/#simoleon#my kiddos

oh one really cool thing i think i never noticed or really considered when I played the game, is that the Knight Academy rooms are actually a big room, divided in two with a wooden room divider in the middle. I have noticed that before, but what I didn't notice is that in Groose's shared room, Groose has presumably pushed the divider over so he has extra room for all his workout equipment, and just, space, meanwhile Cawlin and Strich are sharing that teeny room on the other half, but they also have a fancy golden couch for some reason, and I guess that makes up for it.
note: i did some looking through the other characters' rooms and houses, to see if this was indeed a fancy gold couch, or just a regular couch. after a very quick scan, I found that not only did i not find another golden couch, there was in fact only one couch of any kind that i could find in anyone's house (in rupin's house apparently, and its not gold)
also there's this picture of Groose wedged down between the desk and the wall divider
what is it doing there?
#all screenshots are from noclip.website#skyward sword#its been a long time since i first played skyward sword and its hard to remember a lot of the little details#theres so many tiny character things in this game! if you finish all the sidequests or even just talk to everyone periodically#so maybe these were more explicitly mentioned somewhere and i dont remember? also others have probably mentioned these before too!#y'know what i'm tagging this. i feel like i'm connecting the dots here. putting the pieces together.#also i love tiny details

So my thoughts recently have been these:
• queer masculinity got watered down and pushed out of queer spaces and its annoying to see the aftermath bc everyone wants a domtop daddy partner but is grossed out by like. Idk body hair? Cargo shorts? Ill get back to you on that
• we have this weird breed of transmascs who dont necessarily want to admit that they have the privilege of being transmasculine in relation to transfems (something youre able to have while also being affected by transphobia and misogyny as separate events, just not transmisogyny bc thats not rlly how it works)
• a weird breed of queer people who dont want to be assertive or dominant or capable of like?? Anything at all? ‘I cant do the dishes im neurodivergent’ or whatever? So this weird avoidance of responsibility, accountability, independence, even in sexual situations (see top shortage, whatever that is)
• a weird fear of penises which most people associate w/ masculinity and therefore the transmisogyny that ensues because of that
• inability to communicate, organize, or basically behave like adults because of like. Idk the fear of being wrong? Why do I feel like a lot of other transmasc queer folks ive met irl recently have the tendency to be weird and catty ?
• competing victim mentalities, trauma olympics etc. instead of a focus on healing from wounds. The weird sense of individualism some folks get about mental illness, individual trauma, what have you. Something that singles you out from the crowd or excuses you from accountability instead of something you can use to relate to other people w/ the same issues or a way to help you like. Look at yourself and your habits better.
• people who dont want to put effort into friendships, bad faith, not wanting to give help without immediate reciprocation?
Weird relationships between capability, masculinity, bioessentialism, responsibility, and community maybe? I think we have a lot of queer transmasc folks who dont feel comfy w/ their own masculinity (or assertiveness or dominance or things we associate w/ masculinity in the West ig) because they believe any connection to masculinity/men/ whatever is like. Inherently evil maybe? Because misandry? Fear of perceived masculinity? Idk? Help?
#ive gotten a lot of abuse for being butch and im literally afab#i cant imagine how hard it is for other trans folks who dont have that privilege#what ive learned recently is that its hard to keep yourself together in times like these#i dont think having your shit together is indicative of any moral quality abt a person#but feeling butch as a he/him lesbian makes me feel confident enough to do scary things#and its hard but I think a lot of us could benefit from that?#maybe this is part of why transmascs are so awful to transfems sometimes?#like feeling jealous of their oppression? which is weird?#idk im connecting dots#bullshit#bonehagramblin

zane donovan (eureka) is if john sheppard and rodney mckay were the same person
#he even looks like a younger joe flanigan#it was surprisingly hard to get good pictures of him (that proved my point)#stargate#stargate atlantis#john sheppard#eureka scifi#zane donovan#i connected the dots (you didnt connect shit) i connected them#sorry if this doesnt make as much sense as i think it does#its 3am and i woke up wrong i really dont feel good :(#but zane has the uncontrollable flyboy with stray cat energy of john#and the blinding intelligence and superiority complex to go along with it thats actually just a mask of rodney#hes practically their kid (although if he was actually he probably wouldnt have half the trauma- i mean character motive as he does)

me when i stop caring too hard
#-about something that's still bothered me for i think 3 months#i don't care. i want to write this somewhere#and after connecting a few dots with a few situations - im glad this is where it is now#in fact. this just made me realize a few things that i didn't notice back then#and I'm glad that i don't have to deal with it so much anymore#they were so willing to let go of me anyway. its pointless trying to go back and care again when im certain its going to happen again#the only thing im worried with is how it'll affect others#and im sure it will. to some capacity.#things like these are really like an injection#it will sting so hard when it happens. especially for the first time (me). but when you look back on it you realize it's not that bad-#-and it's probably actually for the better#now when i try to recall the past events. i don't feel like crying or getting emotional. i feel neutral - maybe a little puzzled#but nothing of strong emotions#maybe I will think about it from time to time but#consider it like a reflection#does it mean i moved on? maybe not. because it just comes to me whether unprompted or not#anyway. im going home#i guess the only thing that did to me now in the present is just. made me more wary of what i come across#actually. ill never forget what they described me. the absolute gall to say that is really appalling#i am sorry if this will upset someone. but i want to say what i want to say

anyways. ough. tragedy au . falls to my knees.
#i keep forgetting JUST HOW LITTLE people know about it#its hard because like. we both know what happens so it seems almost too easy to connect the dots. but from an outside perspective everything#is SO disjointed#ITS JUST THAT IM SCAAAAARED WHAT IF WE GET FIGURED OUT IMMEDIATELY AND THEN. LIKE. WHERES THE INTRUIGUE YKYK#but then again if ppl are left in the dark 24/7 then theres no story being told#ITS HARD! HOW DO I KNOW WHATS OBVIOUS AND WHAT ISNT#looking over my red string board. how... how do i make people Get It....#ill figure it out soon enough just give me like another 5 months (kidding)#BUT I WILL FIGURE IT OUT. ......... when i have free time. which by my last post is quite rare#ah well. something something truck.

because lombo admitted he does in fact asks tough teammates for fighting tips and scrums with them.. that does in fact open the can of worms that its very possible hes asked mikksy (despite the fact that mikksy isnt too aggresive he does very much get into his fair share of fights) to fight him and im going to be very normal about that possibility thanks for asking
#“ive connected the dots” ��you haven't connected shit” “ive connected them”#and considering how much little miss rowdy over loves fighting i can very much see them horsing around like that#and it's starting to make sense about why they seem to gel so well#mikksy has said lombo is an annoying player but being teammates hes learned hes a nice guy and likes him#hey im gonna give you guys a baseball bat and im gonna need yall to hit me as hard as you can#gals its really just us on this splish splash waterlog ride...#i feel sick to my stomach 👍#7794...intricate...intricate is your relationship i see...
