#ohhh im so sad.

[hatefueled]

ohhhkay this is a long one, buckle up guys.

there was a scene in fur/iosa- that rlly made me think of boothill. the whole scene in fact really aligned with my take on him SO much.

" you crawled out of a pitiless grave, deeper than hell. and only one thing's gonna do that for you. and not hope. hate. no shame in hate. it's one of the great forces of nature. "

boots went from having everything in life he could ask for. he had a home, he had a loving family, a child. he had a good life, and he was happy. sure, there were plenty of hardships to deal with; bandits. but they were manageable, a fact of life. to suddenly nothing. his home wasn't just taken from him, it was destroyed. razed in an act of unnecessary violence, driven entirely by another man's greed. it happened so fast he couldn't do anything to stop it, or help the people caught in the crossfire.

he was devastated, his grief insurmountable. there was no time for him to mourn his loss, no time to process it. he had to go, move on before he lost his life too. so all he had to turn to was hate, and anger. and there was ( still is ) a lot of it.

but. something this movie really had me thinking about, was the aftermath. what would that confrontation be like. how would feel in the moment. and i think similar to fur/iosa he would be very cold and violent. and while i don't think he'd torture him or waste his time with that. i do think he would question him in a similar way. because he never got any closure on it, never was able to confront it.

" do you remember? "

i don't think oswaldo would remember- at least not the specifics. he wouldn't recall the people he killed, or the remainder of them who suffer to this day. i just don't think he'd care. the IPC, both sides of it, have shown time and time again to care very very little for anything that doesn't benefit them. and they lie and manipulate others to get what they want. it doesn't matter which department you work for.

boothill wants everything back. he wants his family, his home, his child. he wants everything he lost, returned to him. and it seems like a ridiculous demand. but it is a form of displaying very openly, very clearly- that there are consequences for the things oswaldo done. do enough bad, and it will catch up with you. get too comfy in your seat of power- and you're bound to get yours soon enough. boots is almost an embodiment of his hate, and his thirst for revenge.

and as far as characterizations go, i can't get too hopeful with hyv. but the way deme/ntus sort of brushes away her anger- sort of aligns with how i hc oswaldo being. i know it's easy to picture a big corporate asshole as a coward. but many of the higher ups in the IPC got where they are by being horrible people. by being cunning and ruthless and steadfast in everything they do. and i really think oswaldo would be much the same. he'd face boothill's hate with quips and remarks.

" brilliant. i'll be dead, and you'll still be sorrowing, your lovey dovey and your mommy magnificent. you idiot. you can never balance the scales of their suffering. "

and. that is unfortunately a very valid point. especially for someone like boothill who... has made his entire life a pursuit for revenge. because when all is said and done and he has the man dead at his feet- what's he got left? nothing. he would experience the worst burn out imaginable. i just don't see him bouncing back from all of that, not in a healthy way anyhow. it'd take years. and even if he did, he'd bury himself in more hate and more death- trying to tip those scales as hard as he can. to prevent more suffering at the cost of more suffering.

" you are me. already dead. to feel alive we seek sensation. any sensation to wash away the cranky black sorrow. it leaves us for a moment, but then it comes back, and we have to do it all again. and we need more, and each time we need more, until too much is never enough. "

and this is really where the similarities begin and end. they do have this in common. greed. boothill's "greed" though is seen entirely through his obsession. as well as his other coping mechanisms, all of which are extremely unhealthy.

i just love revenge stories, and i love when they're given layers upon layers of nuance and countless complexities. boothill has a lot of room for his story to be a narrative tragedy. a tale of revenge that doesn't really get true closure, or a happy ending. because revenge isn't pretty. it's brutal and violent often times. and other times, realistically, it doesn't get any kind of optimistic ending. regardless of what the outcome is, boothill will finally be forced to face his grief head on. he will have to revisit his trauma, and it is pretty hard to say whether or not he'd handle that very well. because he's always had his hunt to distract him.

do i think he would ever recover? sure. given time. but he isn't human anymore, and none of the above even covers that topic. the fact he gave up his own body to achieve his revenge. like that's... not a small thing. he will never be able to get that back, he'll be a cyborg for the rest of his life.

do you think part of the reason why dokja’s face is so unclear/censored throughout most of the story is because his self as the oldest dream (ie 15 year old him) cant imagine himself surviving to adulthood

au where fadel has a cooking blog under a fake name where he posts his recipes. every entry has that typical long, oddly personal introduction, except he assumes no one ever reads them anyway so he uses it as a diary of sorts. like, "growing up, mother would often be gone for weeks at a time, unless it was time for my younger brother and i to train to become assassins, so i was the one to cook in our household most of the time. this is the dish i would make on the days when i had no energy to cook after spending them at the shooting range" or "i developed this recipe for my late boyfriend a few years ago. he was the love of my life, so it really hurt me when i had to kill him on mother's orders, and i haven't made this dish again since then, but it's honestly a really good recipe and it would be a shame not to share it".

at some point, someone posts about it on twitter and it goes viral. people think it's just a very good bit and the author is extremely committed to it, because through the pieces of information you can actually piece together a full story of his life since childhood to most recent events, and it's so bizarre that no one considers it could be anything but a creative writing exercise for a bored housewife whose name he publishes under. that is, until someone accidentally remembers that a recent recipe on that one cooking blog had a story scarily similar to the assassination they're just hearing about on the news now, and people start connecting the blog posts to other unsolved assassinations. in the end, the consensus is that this is either a very dedicated expert in politics who is coincidentally crazy enough to cosplay as a killer in a niche cooking blog, or someone who knows enough about the mechanics of political killings to accidentally predict things. anyone who thinks the infamous assassin who's managed to escape dozens of times is writing about this on a public blog in his free time is treated as a conspiracy theorist, because, really, you have to be stupid to think that.

the more i play rejuvenation the more i'm just so. baffled and appreciative at the makers of this game because. there's so much work into it. i have well over 100 hours into this game that's been pure storyline without having to do any grinding and its just? there's so much love into this game and they did it for FREE

[timetravelstudies]

this is such a specific situation im about to describe but sometimes smth happens thats like. someone “woke” to gender etc stuff and usually a cis woman or adjacent will have been super cool with me all nice and even sometimes kind of admiring or appreciative of me for the past months or years of me going “yeah im a man. yeah i use masculine pronouns. yeah im like actually fr a dude” like theyll be like yayyyyyy so you are! and use my pronouns and sympathize abt the transphobia i face and tell me theyre sooo supportive of me etcetc. and then after a while it will like sink in that i am actually a man, i want to transition and live life as a man, genuinely and unironically, and suddenly this air of unease will creep in and theyll start pulling back and be clearly uncomfortable with me and even act somewhat betrayed/resentful. and its like. Well its super clear that the whole time you just thought i was essentially a butch woman and you didnt move me from the category of woman in your brain, its just that your concept of a woman happens to be slightly wider than most people’s . LMAO

ok but knowing q!bbh, he's SO going to fix up forever's office at the megabase, he's a freak like that, he does this to himself. he's gonna offer to help richas with the moon house. richas will say no of course, richas doesn't want to work on it if his pai isn't there, but q!bbh would offer. because he has some kind of natural impulse or rather repulse to a mess left behind for a (presumed until proven otherwise, and/or hyperbolic considering the circumstances,) corpse. the reaper does all he can to put the ducks in row of those that leave something unfinished behind.

people just ignore Thor was a feral child, huh? like his life goal was probably to demolish another race at age 12 and he was probably begging to go to war and attempted to murder their father for not letting him via telepathy that he didn't have.

Grant: “I just need you to be complacent.”

He wraps his hands around my neck and begins to squeeze.

Grant: “So that we can go home together.”

I scratch at his hands, trying to dig my fingers underneath them but it’s to no avail.

Grant: “Please darling . . . just go to sleep.”

He squeezes tighter. I feel my head swell, a dizziness takes over.

Player: “P-ple . . . ase . . . s-stop . . .”

Grant: "Just . . . sleep . . . and then I can let go."
