Villain paces the cell, hands clasped behind his back and eyes staring at the floor. The chain around his ankle scrapes on the floor, echoing through the entire room. His heart races, an effect of the adrenaline surging through his body since he was captured. 

The door to the room opens and Hero strides in, a gentle smile on her face. “Hey, Villain.” 

“How do you know my name?” Villain spits back, hackles raising. He rolls the fabric of his sleeves under his fingers and stands in the center of the cell. 

Her small falters and she stops just in front of the bars of the cell, “You don’t remember me?” 

“Obviously not.” 

She bites her cheek and nods. “I came in to ask if you needed anything. You’ll be here a while before Superhero makes a decision on what to do with you, so…water? Something to eat? Maybe some fries with ice cream?” 

He looks up and tilts his head, “What?” 

“Is that still your favorite? Or maybe someone finally told you how weird that is and you believed them.” she inches closer to the cell and wraps a hand around one of the bars. 

There’s a flash of recognition behind his eyes, but he stays away from the bars. He shakes his head and blinks slowly, “How do you know about that?” 

Her other hand wraps around the bar and she puts her face close, “I never forgot about you.” 

“Oh my god,” Villain breathes, voice barely above a whisper. “Hero?” 

He presses against the bars and wraps his hand over hers. His thumb runs over her knuckles, tracing scars on her hand. He stares at her, eyes ghosting over the collage of scars across her skin. “What happened?” 

She pulls her hands back and shrugs, “I was trying to save the world.” 

Villain frowns and nods, “And now you’re babysitting?” 

“Still trying to save the world, but Superhero put me on a mandatory vacation. I heard whispers you were here and couldn’t just leave you.” she shrugs and reaches her arm through the bars, cupping his face gently. “Why didn’t you ever leave?” 

Villain scoffs and turns away from her, his arms crossing in front of his chest. He shakes his head and mutters something, barely loud enough for Hero to catch him saying anything. 

“What?” 

“I tried,” he says, back to her, “But after you left and Supervillain found out I helped you?” He cuts himself off and bites his cheek. 

Hero unlocks the cell and steps inside, “What did he do to you?” 

“Oh,” Villain says, backing away from her. He stares at her and shrugs, “What would you expect? A few days locked in my room, weeks of triple chores, months of punishments, years of resentment and shitty jobs. I’m still paying for letting you go.” he starts to pick at the skin around his fingernails and leans against the wall. 

“That was seven years ago,” Hero says. 

Villain laughs sourly and nods, “Yeah. I know. Two-thousand six-hundred and seven days since you left.” 

Hero blinks, “I guess it’d have to be somewhere around there, yeah.” 

“Not around there. Exactly two-thousand six-hundred and seven days. That’s how many times I’ve been locked in my room for twelve hours, and how many times I’ve had to swear my loyalty to Supervillain. Every day since you left has been hell for me.” 

“I didn’t know,” Hero says, hand reaching out. She touches Villain’s shoulder and he shrugs her off. 

“Leave please. I don’t want to see you again.”

So with the other cursed shackles we see, they're on the person's wrist (Yin Yu, Mu Qing), which is a placement that makes a lot of sense given the name 'shackle'.... but Jun Wu just had to go and put a collar on Xie Lian, and Xie Lian alone

The Outsider (2002)

Montana sheep farmer Rebecca Yoder (Naomi Watts) offers sanctuary to an on-the-lam outlaw, Johnny Gault (Tim Daly), who is suffering from a gunshot wound. Yoder is a recent widow, and her decision to help the outsider doesn't sit well with her Quaker community. As a romance brews between her and Gault, it puts in jeopardy her standing among her devout neighbors. But when an evil rancher makes a play for the community's land, Gault's sharpshooting skills might prove his worth after all.

Getting lightheaded thinking about Northmoor's permanent bondage situation in the sarcophagus. He's literally. I just. He's literally CHAINED UP.

LOOK AT HIS POSE IN THE FIRST ONE!!!

LOOK AT HIS A S S C H E E K S ! ! ! ! ! !

[visibly sweating] do you guys think Trench decided to put Northmoor in the "humane" Eternal Sex Dungeon because he was a little fr-frustrated about how he was treated by Northmoor when he was Director?

Things I Love About OPLA: Mannerisms

Luffy's little gentle but firm *yank* to pull Hat into place on his head. Ash Ketchum backwards hat equivalent

Usopp's loving little spiel about the Merry

Zoro putting a hand on a katana like it's a comfort, like its instinct

Sanji repeating the lines about oregano etc. with the tone that it's been a running joke since childhood, cause it has

Not technically a mannerism but I LOVE the idea of tangerine peel pinwheels. When her trees are fruiting Nami 100% regularly keeps one of those in her pen cup at her desk

I really just need men to wear skirts. Like all the time. For no reason at all. Just normally. I want every guy to spend the morning going “hmmm skirt today, shorts or pants” and pick the skirt more often then not bc they like it. This is not a sex thing. But it’s also totally a sex thing.
