— ❝ of course you think so . ❞ idea, seemingly, instantly dismissed by virtue of 'craig said it so it sucks.' really, it must escape her mind why she ever indulges herself in allowing him to offer advice.

— her arms cross, a sigh escaping her as though disappointed with the suggestion. 'maybe swearing will help'- how ridiculous. the thought is written clear across her face, in the way she looks at him.

— ❝ but . . . ❞

— sly grin starts to creep across her lips, facade of disapproval slipping away in favour of something a little more mischievous.

— ❝ but , you might have a point this time . ❞ hand raises to rest on her chin in imitation of the ever iconic thinking emoji, finger tapping as though in thought.

— ❝ to their faces ? or do you think this is more of a 'scream it in the woods' situation . ❞ maybe while breaking things, even.

i've been thinking about exactly why people portraying one of the other crew members successfully killing Jimmy as a "for what you did to Anya" kind of thing rubs me the wrong way a bit and it's because like..... this is just another form of taking agency away from Anya, in a way. it's kind of framing her as some meek, shivery woman-thing who's entirely at the mercy of the men around her, either to hurt her or save her.

(i understand these are mostly for wish fulfillment on the audience's behalf because everyone would like to see Jimmy pay for his crimes. whether or not this is the intention of the person writing it isn't really relevant, characterization happens with or without intent. i feel like it misses the point by portraying it as an 'ideal ending'.)

because... Anya is a capable person. she takes things into her own hands when she can. it was partially(?) her idea to get into the cargo,

(before he interrupts her.. remember when she interrupted Curly in the dead pixel segment?)

it was her idea to get the code scanner from the cockpit,

it was her idea to get the medication from behind the foam.

(the chance to do these things herself is not given to her.)

she'd been keeping Curly alive for months in a critical state somehow, her psych evaluations at the start are only so useless because Jimmy refuses to take it/her seriously and Curly is obviously biased when he puts it into his own hands. he's known him a long time, like he said. "I'll just put good for that one."

there's not a lot of material to work with because of how the game is framed, but it's there. we are working with two very biased perspectives and neither one lends Anya what she deserves

there's significant changes in how she speaks post- and pre- crash, and depending on who she happens to be talking to. i recommend re-reading her dialogue, because the difference is drastic

she acts the way she does around Jimmy because he has tangibly done horrible things to her, is actively hostile, and physically could not escape him by any means. she can't take away Curly's agency herself, in my eyes. you have to remember that Especially in the post-crash segments of the game, it's entirely from Jimmy's POV, and he obviously does not (and has never) thought very highly of her or treated her with a shred of respect

i've seen a general idea that she can't bear to hurt other people for any reason, but that doesn't really track to me. this is the real point of the post by the way

it seems based on the parts where she says she struggles to give Curly medication. "It just hurts him so much, I can't stand the noise." "It makes me nauseous."

it's not really the same thing as, say, hurting someone in self defense

this sounds like she did want the gun itself. this never felt worded like someone who would refuse to, at very least, threaten Jimmy with a gun, with violence. if she had been given the agency to make that decision on her own. she wasn't though

she still tries to reclaim some of it even as she's denied it

by the end she's still trying to keep that gun out of his hands

i think some people overly soften her, for similar reasons the game itself is trying to comment on. she's not a tender victim who couldn't cause pain to another out of the softness of her soul, she's a person who's had every last bit of agency ripped from her repeatedly until she couldn't take it anymore. that's the point. that's why framing her that way, "needing" someone to save her, is odd to me

she didn't need Curly to save her, she needed him to take responsibility

she didn't want to escalate things, but she's not an idiot. self defense was absolutely on her mind

but who knows im just saying shit *smiles serenely*

thinking about a young trans cal and a young andre.

(kind of a long post?? sorry lolol)

andre would be the very first person the boy tells. he'd be a mess of tears, shaking like a leaf in fear of his very best friend hating him for eternity because of who he truly was. the boy would lose his other half... only,,, no. he wouldn't. his best friend didn't do any of that actually. andre would sit there as he listened and watched his best friend messily explain himself, nodding with furrowed brows. he'd be quiet for a little bit, just staring. after a while he'd ask "then,,, who are you?" in that subtle accent of his. (he hadn't quite lost it yet.)

at first, cal couldn't tell rachel. she wouldn't understand. she didn't understand him like andre did, even if theyd been friends since elementary. him and andre had only been friends for three years now, they were in the big grade 8.

this would stop the boy for a second. he'd pause. he didn't know. he didn't even know he wanted to be "calvin" yet, all he knew was that he wasn't a girl. he was a boy. so, in light of this, andre would grab his best friends arm and drag him to the gabriel household bathroom. grabbing a pair of navy blue kraft scissors from his backpack, he tells his very best friend to wait in the bathroom while he grabs a stool for him.

andre sits his best friend down, locks the door, and stands behind him. "there was gum in your hair." he tells the boy in front of him, "we had to cut it." the boy just nods, wiping the hot tears from his face, however now his quivering lip had stilled into an almost nervous smile. the boy was practically grinning from ear to ear.

a mess of blonde locks found their way to the floor, snip after careful snip. andre had honestly never been so focused in his life, just wanting his other half to finally feel comfortable in his own skin. it'd been maybe an hour before andre had set the scissors down on the sink, a few strands of soft gold still stuck between the hinges. andre pats the boy on his shoulders, admiring his handywork in the mirror infront of them. it definitely wasn't the best haircut ever, but it probably wasn't the worst. it was extremely choppy, a little uneven, and most likely damaging to hair stylists around the world, but when the boy looked in the mirror he finally saw himself.

the two boys would then move to the eldest gabriels room, laying side by side on the long end of his bed. andre listed masculine type names and his best friend would rate them on how well he liked them.

"ethan?"

"ew, no, too dorky."

"ashton?"

"too edgy?"

"heheh, okay, what about eric..?"

"mmeh, too generic."

"oh come on dude, you're so picky."

"you just SUCK at picking names."

"..."

"..."

"... calvin?"

there it was. the silence between them was their answer. andre would turn his head to the side, a proud smile on his face as he read the boys expression. his best friend then would turn his head towards him, a relieved look on his face.

".... yeah." calvin would finally say.

Something something it's a metaphor. Hair as a form of communication but also as passage of time and also as a way for letting people in and also as a detail etc etc you get it

Actual explanation in the tags btw

I'm really nervous about this comic actually, is not the best. It doesn't make sense, and the art is mid, but I put love in it and I think that's enough

i muade this in like 20 minuts and i refuse to spend anymore time on it. heres the video that possessed me to make it

[p4nishers]

let me just say this: if crowley EVER makes an actual move on aziraphale and aziraphale gives even a HINT of reciprocation it's over for him in SECONDS bc u know aziraphale half asses nothing so it'll be like crowley tries to brush their fingers together and aziraphale fully beams at him and interlocks their fingers in seconds. crowley stares speechlessly at their hands for 5 minutes, looks up at aziraphale and faints. crowley gets aziraphale flowers and aziraphale puts them in the very center of his shop where everyone can see and keeps them alive for months. crowley fights a giggle every time he sees them. crowley offers his jacket on a cold night and aziraphale wears the jacket everywhere for weeks and gushes about it to everyone he meets. crowley chokes on his breath every meeting aziraphale is in it without fail. crowley slyly asks aziraphale on an actual romantic date and aziraphale SLAMS down their wedding invitations infort him of like "im so glad u asked, dear, i've been waiting for this" then launches into a rant about flower arrangements and table cloth colors and crowley is left blinking at him and trying not to explode. poor snake.
