#listen they BOND okay

[shima-draws]

I'm rewatching GF since the whole world seems to be into it right now (thank you Alex and the Book of Bill) and AGHHH I FORGOR about the body swap episode when the twins find the secret room and Stan picks up Ford's glasses and later we see him sitting on the couch looking at them wistfully...

Shut up shut UP that's NOT okay

the long way down job is such an important turning point in eliot & parker’s relationship bc they’d both been viewing the things they have in common as fairly negative: they’ve both been told that they’re cold and ruthless and dangerous and they know those things are true. so when they’ve recognised themselves in each other, it’s been a sense of "the thing that’s wrong with me is a lot like the thing that’s wrong with you". and there’s comfort in that, in a way. but now eliot gets parker to see that maybe those aren’t all negative traits, they’re just… traits. neutral. it doesn’t make them bad or good, it makes them who they are. and now when they see themselves reflected in each other, it’s not a reminder that they’re wrong and bad - it’s kinship, it’s familiarity, it’s belonging.

love the idea of the Avengers adding new members but being stingy about rooms so the OG Avengers each get their own but Bucky and Loki are forced to share one under the guise of it being 'healthy interaction'

the funniest thing to me is when people (including the rest of the team!) misinterpret that scene in 2x15 of reid choosing hotch to mean that hotch is the member of the team reid likes the least. like, no hun. he chose hotch because he was almost certain hotch would understand a reference from a random conversation they had and would figure out where he was.

he literally trusts hotch the most to save him!

I have been having Thoughts about Alucard and Trevor and the act of drinking someone's blood thanks to @beevean............

For starters, those two were definitely bros. Absolute besties. Alucard is the introvert getting adopted by the charismatic extrovert Trevor, for sure. That's the them, I can't picture them as anything less than very close friends. And not anything more, lol, I am physically incapable of romantically shipping Alucard with anyone.

But how could Trevor show Alucard he trusts him, when Alucard is so insecure and afraid?

That's when the blood drinking comes into play... Maybe Alucard didn't need to drink blood. Maybe he did. But it doesn't matter, because Trevor offers it to him anyway, to show he trusts him with his very life. That he knows what Alucard is, and far from ignoring the darkest part of his nature... he embraces and accept it. Alucard is his friend, and a precious ally, and he values him as such. Being a hunter, letting himself be vulnerable to what others could perceive as a predator with no fear, nor doubt... it's the most remarkable show of trust Trevor could display for Alucard. Especially considering Alucard isn't any vampire, but Dracula's son.

But it goes even deeper when you remember that Trevor's blood is not just any blood. It's Belmont blood. Holy, but carrying a heavy duty, wich is passed down generations after generations. This blood is both Trevor's legacy, but also his burden to bear. The reason he's hated as much as he's loved. The reason he had to come to the Castle and fight Dracula to begin with. By drinking it, Alucard accepts to help him carry the weight of his fate, and lets him know that he isn't alone, and will never be. That's how he shows his trust and care for Trevor.

At the end of the day, it's not about feeding or sex. It's about sharing, finding solace in each other, knowing no one would ever be able to understand them as well as they understand each other. Knowing that no one would be able to carry each other like they can. Their bond only comes out of this stronger, knowing they can trust each other fully. Even if Alucard seals himself away to protect the world from his cursed blood, eventually, he won't stop carrying part of his friend's curse for him. Trevor will sleep better, knowing he had the chance to meet him, the chance to share with him the most sacred part of him. Neither will ever find someone like each other, ever again, but that's what makes their friendship so unique.

...anyway, i think they're neat. ❤️

haikaveh... save me haikaveh...

i KNOW it's been talked about to death but. the haikaveh research project. it literally haunts my mind. i cannot get over the implications. alhaitham going through his school life as someone that most people dont even really know about because he keeps to himself and doesn't socialize, with kaveh being the one exception to that, finding his way into his life as his Best Friend, and then leading to alhaithams one and only time he participated in a research topic. his bio says he only ever did ONE joint project!!! one!!! the one with kaveh his best friend and i think also his only friend at the time!!!! and then it ended in not only the project falling apart but also alhaithams only friendship. kavehs best friendship. they were each others closest person. they had no family around - alhaithams parents having died when he was young and his grandmother dying before he joined the akademiya, and kaveh's dad dying when he was young and his mom having moved to fontaine. like even if you dont look at it through a romantic lens it's still undeniable how important they were [and are] to each other..........

i'm getting off track but my point is very specifically for alhaitham, the one time he got close to someone, made a friend, even agreed to join one(1) group project ever, it ended in disaster. it led him into a fight so bad that his one and only friend said he regretted that friendship!!!! it was so bad alhaitham left the project and he and kaveh didnt speak for ages until they just happened to run into each other again at the tavern!!!!! like obviously it has to be incredibly awful for both of them but i just think how this probably had alhaitham in the cynical mindset that friendships and collaborations like that might just never work out for him because the one time he let someone into his life, it blew up on him and he was all alone again. even though alhaitham never seems to care much if people dont like him, that clearly cant still apply to someone he was exceptionally close to. like if he didnt care he woudlnt have been the one to take his name off the project and mutually not speak to kaveh...... kavehs words are the ones that hit the most significantly to alhaitham.......... kaveh is said/implied to have had at least some other friends while at school / people knew who he was, but not so much alhaitham. people didnt know him and the ones that did just knew he didnt socialize/he was not easy to get along with. he only had kaveh and then, for a while, he lost him too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

keep thinking abt hoshina and mina GOD.. (spoilers for manga and kn8 bside)

given what hoshina said about his previous division treating him like a burden/parasite just because he can’t handle firearms and specializes in his swords… how tiring must it have been to have to work with those people each mission despite having a common goal?

and how tiring must it have been to be constantly told off by his own father for wanting to continue his family’s tradition, or to be told to give up on being part of the jakdf by his own teacher -

before mina, a high ranking commander personally reached out to him, to recruit him into her team?

the fact that she didn’t see him during joint trainings and think: why bother with that? why bother with blades when bigger kaiju will appear? when she personally deals with bigger kaiju herself.

but she instead saw him and thought: he can help me, he can cover my weaknesses (mina not being able to handle a vegetable peeler is hilarious) and he’s someone i can trust

she sees potential in him, she sees how he can excel within her division, she saw hoshina and as captain - has probably heard everyone talk shit about him but she was still certain that he’d be one of her division’s greatest asset

(and even when platoon leader ebina refused to let hoshina help out, mina stood firm on her decision and her claim that hoshina would be useful. when she asked him if he could take down the big kaiju, and he could only promise saving the child within it - she believed him, took his word for it and waited until he carried out his promise.)

and now hoshina is the vice captain, putting faith in a new recruit whom most people wouldn’t have believed in… full fucking cycle..

tldr: it makes me rly fucking emotional to think about how hoshina was given a reason to continue improving with his swords after being told to give up all this time… and how mina had never once thought his abilities were useless 👍

also makes me crazy how protective he is of his position as vice captain, as the person who stands by captain ashiro’s side…
