LEGENDARY Final Boss Race From NFS The Run

[likealittleheartbeat]

I try to generally be constructive and engaged with the show I love on here, so on this day, I’ll just say that one of the most thematically important aspects for me from the original ATLA is Aang’s emotional core of real shame for running away when he was hurt by the monk’s decision to send him away. People who feel the kind of deep-seated shame that Aang feels from this decision can understand how that kind of all-encompassing shame is not built around a simple failure or a lie they tell themselves; it’s constructed from real misbehaviors and transgressions of their own sense of ethics—lashing out, telling lies, attempting to hurt others intentionally—that then have consequences (abuses, abandonments, or deaths) which seem to far exceed their expectations or even basic logic.

The combination of the misbehavior with exaggerated existential punishments (along with a lack of support and amend-making in the immediate wake of the events) is what transforms a sense of guilt (I fucked up) into shame (I am a forever fuck-up). Then shame, that sense of being a secret monster ‘no matter what I do or how good everyone thinks I am,’ invites all the avoidance strategies (Aang puts on big smiles, makes lots of jokes, constantly tries to make everyone happy, hops from town to town without building deeper connections). One doesn’t want to acknowledge one’s true feelings or let others in to see those feelings and experiences because it’s too painful to face the grief at the same time that you have to look at yourself for being responsible—even when you recognize it wasn’t totally your fault. It’s just that if you had just been good, less emotional, less human, then maybe the world wouldn’t be so messed up. Of course, in a zen view of things, the world will always be messed up in the same way it will always be beautiful. These are constant facts that always coexist in balance, and this is the truth that Aang learns and that undergirds the whole series.

So I always loved that Aang ran away. It was his sin and his salvation. And it becomes this constant tension for the series—he gets hurt in Bato of the Water Tribe and starts to run away from Katara and Sokka, he runs away to the Guru in the Crossroads of Destiny and his best friend is attacked, he and the gaang retreat after the Day of the Black Sun failure, he runs away to meditation in Sozin’s Comet when everyone wants him preparing for war. Aang’s reluctance to be a hero and the attachments and petulance for which he gets criticized are what metamorphasize to become his most noble attributes. They allow him to empathize with others shame and, ultimately, wield the kind of compassion that can deconstruct the power and perfectionism of imperialism.

So yes, Aang ran away from his temple 100 years ago. It wasn’t the mentally healthy choice. It wasn’t the ethical choice. It wasn’t the wise choice. It was human and emotional and shameful and real. Aang is a better character for it. ATLA is a better show because of it. And we are better people when we understand these kind of tragic emotional experiences that people are trying so hard to grow through.

[——————————————————————]

TW; Gun Usage, Light Gaslighting

[——————————————————————]

Ryder startled awake at the yell of his nickname. Sweat billows down his forehead as his dark brown eyes dart across the room in a wild panic.

They linger on something in the dark. A silhouette of a person. A tall, masculine silhouette.

“Who’s there?!”

He shouts at the shadow in slight fear, rubbing the dreary night sleep from his eyes and bags. Ryder’s hands try to grab something on his night stand, insomnia pills.

The creature that lurked in the night didn’t reply. 

Panic slowly began rising in the 23 year old as his chest started to rise and fall. 

His arms, tainted with scars of his own doing, slowly start reaching for the M4 he owns in the drawer of the night stand. 

“Who are you?! I won’t hesitate to fucking kill you!”

The fear in his voice is very audible. 

This figure finally spoke and Ryder’s skin crawled in realization.

“You’re awake, good. Aiyana gave us a miss—“

“FOR FUCKS SAKE, STANLEY! HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET MY ADDRESS?!”

An ‘interesting’ Stanley Smith takes a few steps forward, still in his work attire. Ryder throws middle fingers toward his older work friend as he gives a heavy sigh of relief, laying back down in his bed.

“never do that ever again or I swear I’ll shoot you!”

He groans with a slight yawn. Something caught his eye though. Stanley looked…. different.

A light brunette man with blue eyes. That’s the Stanley Ryder has known for 2 years. This isn’t blue eyes though.

Soulless pale white eyes stare, never moving. never blinking. 

“You won’t. I’m quite upset about something, you know Arthur?”

This ‘Stanley’ began.

“I’m displeased that you left. That you, on June 2nd 1938, ran away.”

“How do you know about that day?”

Ryder’s words oozed with an unsettling fear.

However the man ignored the question and continued. Snow white eyes burn holes into Ryder’s being.

“You should’ve stayed. You should’ve handled it like a man. Or are you not a man? I think, in my own opinion, you are a scared little boy, hidden by all the lies you tell yourself.”

“shut. up.”

“You know what I think, Arthur. Should I say Ryder. You remind me so much of your old man, Luciano. And your mother. Heh. She treated you right, yes?”

“i said shut UP.”

Ryder’s hands grab the pistol and aim it at Stanley. His hands shake violently as his pointer pulls back the trigger.

“You are pathetic, Ryder. I had so much faith in you and this is how you repay me?”

The war vet cackles as a bullet flies through his chest. A sight the assassin is used to. A dead body lays slumped against the wall. 

Ryder still seems jumpy, his chest rising and falling quickly. The 23 year old shakily puts the M4 down and tries to sleep. 

He can’t.

What Stanley had said kept repeating in his head like a broken record. The man Ryder accepted as his father figure. One he told his secrets to. 

His eyes snap back open to a dull bedroom. The one he fell asleep in.

Stanley’s body wasn’t in the room. 

There was no sign of it ever being there.

“it was all a dream….Jesus Christ….”

TIME SKIP - WORK DAY - 13:47

Ryder walked around the mess hall, noticing his ‘mentor’ loading some 44-40 Winchesters. The train-ie, Ryder, had his mask and gloves on as his eyes linger on Stanley. In the same attire from the dream, but no…y’know. 

He inhaled and exhaled before walking toward Stanley. 

“hey…uh…question.”

His shaky voice didn’t seem to concern the veteran.

“What is it, Arthur?”

Stanley put the magazine and bullets down, crossing his arms with a lifted eyebrow.

“you don’t know where i live, right?”

The face masked man blurted out. This obviously caught the other man’s attention

“What? No? Why the hell would I need your address?“

He protests, crossing his arms.

These sounded like words of reassurance to Ryder as he gave a heavy sigh of relief. 

“good..good. thanks… am i a pussy?-“

The man’s voice rattled with tears as he looked up at Stanley.

“what the fuck are you on? have you been taking ketamine? No you’re not a wimp!”

The taller man rolled his eyes. 

“Now get ready, we’re leaving for the next mission in an hour.”

He waved Ryder away.

[evil-dsmpconfessions]

My first ever fanfics on Ao3 were actually Dsmp fics back in 2021. I think I wrote about like five of them, before orphaning them all when I left the fandom. Sometimes, when I’m feeling bad about my writing nowadays, I’ll go and find those fics. I like seeing how my style has improved over the years, and how cringe my writing was back then. Honestly, if it weren’t for the dsmp, I don’t know if I would’ve picked up fic writing again.

(And while i will never share my old dsmp fics, nor do I want them attached to my Ao3 handle, I have been getting back into the Dsmp recently, maybe it’s time to go back to my roots and start writing dsmp fic again.)
