I love how in your latest comic, Opportunist just. collapses. on the floor, with Skeptic’s dead body.

Something something it’s at the moment we see him lean his head in, like he wants to give and receive affection from the headless body, and the head is what’s gone, the one part he can’t lean against and hold, though he can match body to body with everything else, the head, the person, is what’s missing though the body remains

something something the head was what contained Skeptic’s thinking mind and also symbolizes & contained his entire personality

smthn smthn the body, the empty shell, the facade is all yours, but the person is gone

smthn smthn just like how if Opportunist had held himself back during their entire relationship, and/or killed him in the end, then it was always a facade, an act, just like the headless dance he’s doing now, then the other person— the connection— the one you’re performing a relationship with was never really there—

or if it was real, who knows— it retroactively becomes a facade, because of Opportunist killing him— all because of Opportunist—

Something something Opportunist breaks and tips over, which tips over the body, because there’s no one else there now, the only person to keep up the same facade, the same dance, is him, alone, now—

Opportunist breaks the minute his head doesn’t find anything to match and nuzzle, and hold to— and Opportunist and Skeptic were always of two different minds, Oppy scheming and holding himself at a distance and refusing to trust Skeptic, they were always unmatched in their mentality in their dance, of course there’s no head for him to hold onto—

Smthn smthn the reminder the other person isn’t there, was never really there, is an empty space where the head used to be, and Opportunist defines and prides himself on his scheming until he’s alone in his mental palace of being on top…

And Skeptic always prides and defines himself on his cerebral pursuits and ability as well, their heads are defining for both of them, so it’s extra appropriate…

And it’s the head Opportunist leans in to give and receive affection from, he wants the real Skeptic, but he can’t have it, because of himself, maybe he never could even before if the above possibility is true

And it’s the moment the loneliness crashes in and Opportunist collapses on top of the body, always on top, the one manipulating, the guy in control, and the one in charge of this empty dance now

And him collapsing on the body, embracing it for comfort, is him looking for comfort from his own body, from the feeling of holding and the imitation of being held, not from his head. (Or from talking to the other guy, from bouncing off the other person’s personality.)

And even though Opportunist’s head and mentality has won out in destroying the relationship, Opportunist can’t ignore his “gut” feelings of loneliness, those body-associated feelings are what’s keeping him dancing with a corpse, keeping up the facade

This got longer than I expected but y’know if I actually have energy to analyze and put it into words I’m not gonna waste the opportunity

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE ME HURT ABOUT MY OWN COMIC HWO DARE YOU/J

J32BT32 BUT FOR REAL THO THIS IS SO GOOD IM VERY FLATTERED U ANALIZED MY COMIC THIS MUCH, I CANT REALLY ADD MUCH TO THIS BECAUSE I REALLY WANT MY COMICS BE UP TO INTERPRETATION SOME ARE MESSY ON PURPOSE BUT I LIKE TO THINK THEYRE FUN TO LOOK AT, ANYWAYS THANK U SO SO MUCH FOR THIS ANALISIS

midoyuzu is canon to me because of you

thank you anon..... im doing my part.... still havent recovered from the dream live interaction they had so heres doodles from last year of that. i cant believe they did that

on a separate note ive been kinda having mixed feelings regarding enst as a whole and while i dont think ill stop like. making/interacting w fanwork and such ill most likely step back a bit as well. even if it isnt new the racist shit that happyele's pulling really does suck ass, the fact im also really fond of akatsuki myself aside im sure its doubly worse for lots of other fans

I totally dig the whole ford aroace hc, but at the end of the speech alex gave, he said "but you know, when we were doing gravity falls, gay marriage had only like, just been legalized" wouldnt this kind of imply ford was trying to ignore something a little different? i dont know, what do you think? could you try to explain what alex said in your own words so i can understand better? i think im def reading it wrong... and you're the smartest person i know when it comes to writing and ford LOL. i like hearing your rambles about aroace topics. bc im on that spectrum myself, you unknowingly explained a lot of things to me I didnt know about myself, like, multiple times 🤣 you dont have to reply to this if u dont want to btw, just ignore it. i wont be offended

I think first and foremost, the most important thing to pay attention to is that Alex states in that interview that if you identify with Ford as a queer person, that's great, he wants you to be able to see yourself reflected in his characters. No matter what your queer identity is! So, you can see him as gay or bi or ace or aro or trans or whatever you like, because that's the beauty of interpretation! No one is singularly right.

I believe Alex made reference to the gay marriage thing just because of the topic of queerness in Disney shows in general. At the time, it had only just been legalised so it was unlikely you'd be able to push a big network as far as getting a major character to show ANY sign of queer identity. Not one specific one. I think he was just kind of saying it in general as a reference point for how unlikely it was to have queer characters in things (and aces ARE queer, no matter their romantic attraction preference. Aros are also queer despite having no attraction.)

In reference to Ford's attraction and his lack thereof, Alex says that quote: "for all people on all sides of the gender and sexuality equation, the idea of '...I'm not sure what this part of myself is, so I'm going to fixate on something I can understand..... as long as I'm doing this, then I don't have to focus on that'."

and I think that's something that rings true for ALL queer people.

The reason I (tongue in cheek sort of) said that about him being canon ace is because Alex compares Ford to Tesla, who was infamously 'celibate' and was outspoken about his distaste for romance/sex across the board. Tesla is known as being ace. Alex describes Ford as having a similar reaction to Tesla when it comes to attraction: 'I really thought of Ford kind of like Tesla in that realm. He is distant.'

I know Alex uses women as a specific descriptor in that passage, but I think that's because Tesla spoke about women most often because heteronormativity (and was very sexist about it at times, but considering the time period, whatever). Tesla does state that he fell 'in love' with one girl, but I don't think it's ever been expanded on for what type of love.

Tesla is never described as having had relationships with men OR women. There's a chance he was gay ace, bi ace, or just aroace. We'll never know, and there's not really any reason to try and sus out someone else's sexuality, but it reads to me that he was someone who was just aroace and Not Interested. He had his science and that was all he wanted.

That sounds exactly like canon Ford.

So the comparison to Ford rings strongly of him being Asexual first and foremost. Then, when you align it with the other clues in Journal 3, it really speaks very strongly to me that Ford is ace. I mean, he keeps a fucking photo of Tesla on his desk! And he outright says that he has this picture whereas Fidds has one of his wife and child, and that's confusing to Ford. He doesn't understand it.

He doesn't want to 'settle down' or 'start a family' as Fidds suggests. He never has crushes on people. He never expresses sexual or romantic attraction to anyone. He loves, but never in a romantic capacity. He admires, but in an educational context.

Also, in TBoB, Bill teases Ford for dreaming of a sexuality quiz that asks him 'what are you most attracted to?'. Ford answers: Logic and planning........ And Bill again teases him with the Plansexual line. If that doesn't scream Ace, I don't know what does.

I think for me personally too, I have been (and am in) Ford's position. I spent so long burying my head in the sand about being asexual because I truly believed there was something wrong with me. I was told there was. I've even sought out conversion therapy (never went through with it, but felt like I should at the time).

Ford's running from his true feelings in that sense is very much a mirror to my own. And I think that mirrors many queer people's experiences. So, to go back to what I opened with: if you want to see him as gay specifically, you can! I want to see him as ace, so I will! He isn't a real person, so you can project yourself onto him. That's okay to do :)

And I'm glad that my answers have helped you, by the way! That's a really sweet thing to know and I'm really glad some of the stupid stuff I yap about has helped you haha <3

pairing: amuro tooru x reader

summary: he is home late (again) but you love to stay up for him

cw: i would not say suggestive but a lot of kissing implied ? IDK IM SORRY, it’s very short

It wasn’t rare for you to be staying up waiting for him to come home, but tonight he was especially late coming home and he truly did not expect you to still be up. The clock almost ticked 3:30am and he truly wished he didn’t have to stay out so late if he knew you would still be up. He was going to ask why you were still up and tell you about how you should’ve just slept without him, but he knew you would tell him you would be too worried to fall asleep regardless. 

“I’m so sorry I was so late,” he said, apologetically. “But really, next time you shouldn’t mind me. It’s far too late.”

“And it’s far too late for you to be out with no one to greet you when you come home,” you replied with a soft smile. Gosh he was in love with you. “Waiting for you to come home is one of my happiest times, at least let me do this much. Besides, it’s a Friday we get to sleep in tomorrow.”

And you were absolutely correct. Although he’d tell you every single time to go ahead and sleep, it still warmed his heart when he saw you reading a book or scrolling through your phone with a warm tea, waiting for him to come home. The way your face would brighten up when he came home was truly the only thing that could heal him from a long day at work.

“I’ll hop in the shower real quick, so go to sleep okay? It’s still not good to be up this late,” he said as he took off his coat and put his stuff down, getting ready to step into the bathroom.

“Wait,” you said, almost subconsciously.

“What is it, love?”

“Oh, um,” you said, you hadn’t meant to say it out loud. You looked up at him slightly embarrassed. “....kiss?”

A faint blush covered his face as his eyes narrowed and lips pursed. He did not understand how you managed to make his heart flutter from such simple words after all this time, but he did understand that this wasn’t going to go away. He walked right back to you and pressed a kiss on your lips. He was going to kiss you again when he resisted the temptation and kissed you on your forehead instead. 

“Why not?” you asked quietly. You were going to kill him if you kept this up.

“Because I’m not going to be able to stop at this rate,” he said, but you went and kissed him instead.

“But I don’t want you to...” you said. That was it, he was giving in. Saving the country was a whole lot easier of a challenge than the ones you gave him it seemed.

“Okay, now you’ve done it,” he said, kissing you again. 

The shower will have to wait a little.

layla beloved your frat initiation bartylily chasing-in-the-woods concept is something that i think about…. so frequently. haunts me. i don’t even need you write it atp i just need more THOUGHTS 😭

stopppp it i'm giggling at the thought of them 'cause they're so nasty @sommerregenjuniluft is wholly partly to blame

like picture it, frat boy barty daddy issues barty n trust fund barty all in one, like my guy has issues on top of issues. he's made to go to uni by his dad and (idk how frats work i am british) he's in his third and final year of his degree, and he's the president of the frat obviously cause so was his dad and so was his dad and so on

lily, however, loathes him. she thinks the absolute worst of him but she's never even spoken to him. she just hates what he comes from and all that stuff. she's doing a journalism degree and writes for the college paper, like she's on her grind trying to get through uni

one day lily gets some inside scoop that barty's frat is hosting an initiation ritual that apparently happens every night but no one actually knows what goes down so she makes it her mission to get in so she can publish it in the paper and ruin his image and all that jazz

AND THEN she gets there the night of the ritual and barty sees her and he knows who she is cause she hates him that much and and the ritual basically

the existing frat boys are recruiting the new year boys and as part of the initiation they get chased in the woods and the older years wear masks n shit and it’s fucked up in every sense, like they get their chase and it’s perverted and just so…barty if that makes sense

but it’s just an initiation for the boys, no one else at all so lily has to sneak in and she thinks she’s all slick hiding behind trees n stuff but then

barty creeps up behind her, an ache in the pit of his stomach. even in the night, he hates how he can recognise her by her stupid red hair. there’s an animalistic urge to pull on it, to yank her back into him, but instead he snakes his arm around her throat, his bicep pressing on her pulse. his other hand covers her mouth and he can feel the way her body shakes, how it squirms against him, and he tuts, shaking his head.

now obviously lily fights back, she hits her head back into his face and his lip’s bleeding and all but my barty’s huge, like this guy is built so he’s stronger than her and he’s had enough—he tightens his hold on her, pinning her against the tree and he’s pissed as fuck. he’s pressing his body against hers so she can’t move, also holding her by her throat cause he likes the feel of her panicking and how she gulps. he’s grinning like a madman, wiping the blood off his lip with his thumb and he’s all like “you can’t come and not play the game, doll.” and she’s crying, shaking her head and she’s begging him to stop but but

he lifts a leg up, pushing his knee on her stomach and he begins to undo his belt with one hand, the other stroking the side of her face. it’d be romantic in any other situation if not for the fact that lily thinks she’s well and truly going to die. he spits on the ground to the side of them, his thick cock pulsing at the sight of her tears. he relishes in the view, at her lips quivering and the way she still begs him to stop. it’s cute, he thinks.

and then at some other point

“are you—are you getting off on this?” barty snickers, his fingers trailing across the dampness on her panties. he watches the way she closes her eyes tight, her lips parting slightly. “you’re a sick bitch, y’know that, doll? a pretty fuckin whore, coming out here, thinkin’—thinkin’ you can just do what you want, hm?”

but she still struggles against him, trying to fight cause that’s just lily evans but he’s licking his lips, shaking his head and the next thing she knows is he’s taking out a gun from the waistband of his jeans, he’s got it to the bottom of her chin, murmuring, “i really wish you wouldn’t do that,” but she doesn’t care, she tries to wriggle out of his hold and he tightens his grip on her, moving the gun to her forehead, “don’t fuckin move. you move and i’ll fuckin shoot you, okay? you got it?”

“barty, please...” lily pleads with him, as he yanks her by her hair.

“barty, please,” he mocks. “jesus, you're fucking pathetic. you’re lucky that i haven't put a bullet in that pretty fucking skull of yours yet.”

and at some point she’s running again, after kicking him in the groin obviously and he’s chasing after her, he’s in love with the chase, getting so high off it and then he’s tackling her to the ground, mud over the both of them. he’s on top of her, gripping her by both her dimples and pushing her face down into the ground

“i know the shit you say about me, what you write about me in that—in that little paper of yours.” he’s breathing heavily, pulling the zipper down on his jeans as he mounts over her. “i should kill you right now,” he whispers heavily against her ear. “but that's not what you want, is it? you want me to fuck you, right here on the dirty fucking ground, don’t you?” he smiles, demented. and he moves the gun down to her mouth. "just a dirty little whore that wants to get filled with dick, right?"

and then they have hot steamy sex in the middle of the woods 🏌🏽‍♀️

[sengenism]

You don't know how much this blog is affecting my obsession with Sengen.

Like, you made me realize so many things on why Sengen is so cool, amazing and things (I literally cannot put my feelings into words wtf)

Like, they are so similar and different at the same time, they both hide their feelings behind a marks carefully crafted by them and how they both would immediately see behind eachothers mask.

I'm literally not okay that ending/sequel is so Senkaku coded, I mean cool ship but I really don't see chemistry behind them, but ignore that.

And, and, I don't see enough people taking about it but only Senku and Gen (and Byakuya) have dual coloured hair.

I think they are soulmates but because it's a Shounen jump they were afraid of the gays.

Anyways, thank you for your blog and for feeding my Sengen delusion, I love you and continue being cool.

- 🧅

OH MY GOD AN ASKKKK!!!!!! THANKS ANON <3333

i understand not being able to put feelings into words because same i have so many thoughts on sengen in my drafts but it's so hard to make it all... proper-y

and one of the things is the dual coloured hair thingy!! i've noticed that and it's just sitting in my notes here like:

they are complete opposites and yet so similar. they match each other's freak so badly it gets on my nerves and everyone else's. like there's so many little things about sengen that one can elaborate about, which makes me think inagaki-sensei put a lot of thought into their dynamic?

for example, shoes. gen goes from barefoot (representing tsukasa's side, as tsukasa is also barefoot. minami, tsukasa's #1 fan is also barefoot) to wearing matching shoes with senku for winter (as far as i'm aware, only taiju and yuzuriha, senku's best friends, share the same shoe style, so it can be inferred that senku made the shoes for gen. although, nikki's is similar but slightly different too) to going barefoot again after winter, then finally officially wearing the senku shoes post treasure island arc. shoes/outfits/designs really say A LOT about the characters in dr stone imo and we need to talk about it more (boichi clearly puts a lot of story details into the design!) like the villagers wearing the same shoes/colour etc... oh i could go on and on.

so yeah definitely– senku, byakuya and gen being the only characters with dual coloured hair is something to discuss! i feel like gen is highly involved in the top best byakuya story lore moments honestly but that might just be me and my sengen goggles on idk lol

as for the extra chapters, i honestly just kinda ignore the senhaku in it?? LMAO like they made it easy to ignore since the scenes were just a few pages and not really continual. that being said, i don't mind senhaku and i think it's a decent ship which would be fun if explored romantically, but yeah i personally see them as like... cousins or something. not only senku and kohaku tbh, but senku and all the villagers are in some sort of relative-y relationship in my eyes because it's hard to remember that senku and byakuya are not biologically related when they look like carbon copies of each other lbr

thanks for the ask! u sound really cool too idk if i should be happy about spreading mass delusion but i am and we can meet at the ward :D

[charlesemersonwinchesteriii]

did you see the lyrics of "Phantom of my Organ"??? the people want to know: Hodving real? 🎤

Brothers and sisters the Lord has been kind to us this fine Sunday. Verily I say unto you it has been proclaimed from on high: HODGVING REAL. HALLELUJAH AND AMEN <3

THIS PLUS THE END OF THE SONG BEING THE SOUND OF SOMEONE PLAYING A SAD LITTLE TUNE ON THE PIANO AND THEN WALKING AWAY??? COME ON

and if that were not ENOUGH:

And if you want to get really crazy about it. Is this not Hodgson Post-Irving's Death. I ask you.

And you know what throw in this geniuslyrics note too because jesus christ. Let's monologue about it why don't we.

Also just as a final insane note: you know how people pointed out how much Hickey haunted the Tozer playlist? It feels like Hodgson is haunting this playlist a little bit. The mentions of playing music, childhood longing ("kid fears"!) and nostalgia, some beautiful piano instrumentals, and so many birds and especially doves!!!

i do NOT care how other people perceive me. it doesnt matter to me, and im not a little obsessed with it. anyways *reblogs more things that ask people to describe their perception of me*

Yokai to Human Form Tidbit

Ok so there's human designs/ forms for Caspian's yokai friends 1, for fun, and 2, cause there's some situations where it's convenient/just better to have some in human forms (EX: Whisper coming to Caspian's choir concerts and conferences bc his parents are. fairly absent). Everyone has their own opinions on it and stuff and in this post I'ma talk about Baddinyan's!!

So fun little fact he does Not Like being human. This is mostly for body dysphoria adjacent feelings, like all of a sudden he has different hair, no fur, different ear placement, etc. The 'phantom limb' thing tends to happen with his tails, too, which is trippy and kinda uncomfortable. He also hates that a lot of his senses are dulled. smell, hearing, sight (especially in the dark), it makes everything feel kinda hazy and causes him to be a lot more stressed about everything.

Idk maybe I just think it's kinda funny to see a character thrown into a whole new form and reasonably be like. what. the hell this sucks. His easygoing (nice way of me saying his lazy ahh) and usually pretty chill/surprisingly level-headed mood is def worsened when he's constantly feeling skin that doesn't technically belong to him. A form he shouldn't really have.

As a result, he's oftentimes irritable and anxious in this form, with some days being better than others. He typically avoids having to use it unless he needs to though, and refuses to take his glasses off for anything. Has to be bribed with a Chocobar to enma forbid go out in public. He's also less used to it than most due to his extreme aversion to it. He just hates it and everything is physically gross and cloudy and nothing's in the right place and he can't explain why.

Badude, on the other hand, doesn't mind being human! It feels more similar to his body than it does for Baddinyan, and is kind of a fun change of pace every now and then. He's Baddinyan's like. closest friend besides Caspian in this AU, so he's typically who's convincing him to not kill everyone in the room and/or take off the stupid leaf in public lol. Their convos can sometimes go like

"C'mon, it's just until we get outta the store. Don't get your non-existent tails in a twist-"

"Shut up and do nyot remind me right nyeow."

"(Oh it's like. that kind of day whoopsies) Mbmb, we can ditch these nerds and go look at the candy isle or somethin' for a bit..?"

He stinks at comforting people or anything like that but tries. Sometimes. idiots

I'm working on references, but all I have to say about their designs for now is vitiligo Black-Mexican Baddinyan and Mexican-Japanese Badude CANON!!! See you for now! :) Have a radtastical day out there, don't implode or get rocks thrown into your inbox!! (again for some of you...)

[lynxfrost13]

silly hypothetical question: if you could turn your ocs (any characters) story into any medium perfectly to your liking, what medium would you choose?

Hi Sosa!! Oh this is such a fun question ty for asking it!!

I know for sure that Awol’s story would fit really well into a short film, since I feel like it’s contained enough and stretching it out via a longer visual media like a movie would be more of a detriment than a help. I think Awol’s story would be fun to play around with in animation, in my mind I’d see her story done in a style like Scavenger’s Reign. That show has such great animation and there are some graphic violence scenes that I think have the same energy as how I imagine Awol’s own scene with the storch she killed in her tunnel. I also think there wouldn’t be a lot of dialogue in this short since it also fits her very quiet nature. I think layout wise it’d kind of go like

Activation + being a normal ARAR unit -> degradation and her interesting in painting -> some scenes of her stuff getting confiscated/cleaned out etc with maybe a moment of her cadre -> discovery of the abandoned tunnel and some fun scenes of her just absolutely going wild -> other RTS units stumbling upon her tunnel when she’s not there -> Storch sent down to clean it as punishment for some misbehavior or other (I think this would be the most dialogue, her just receiving her orders and then complaining) -> Awol returning to her now barren sanctuary and seeing the storch -> brutal fight between the two that ends with Awol killing her -> closes with Awol painting the walls again and maybe the dead storch still in the shot bc I think that would go hard -> fin.

The next story that I definitely have a clear idea for would be the VDF-5’s whole ordeal told through a primarily Hollenhund POV as an animated show. Tbh if I could have all of my characters animated in the style of arcane I would in fact keel over and die from joy and I fear my answer for some other concepts style wise would also be this choice due to my personal tastes but I’m trying to think of what would best suit each story over what I just like. That being said the VDF-5 story I absolutely would love in studio Fortiche’s arcane style because I think the mix of animated expressiveness as well as the realism of how people look would be really good for the overall tone of the hypothetical show. I think the 2d elements of the style would be fun to explore in a sci-fi setting and it’d be perfect for fight scenes between characters as well.

As for the actual layout of the show (otherwise this might turn into gushing abt arcane’s style oops) I’d want it contained to one season. I just think it works well as a self contained story told in 45-60 min episodes. Also Sosa I am gonna get to ur ask abt Hollenhund so I will be yapping about her more in that 😭 but if it was told from her POV primarily I think the episode layout would look something like being divided by the first chunk being much earlier and letting us see Schrott in her prime during the war and her losing her cadre, Hollenhund at her Vinetan facility, and Essig and Honig’s early friendship and assignment to the VDF-5 -> time skip and all four of our main players are brought together on the VDF-5, Schrott as her wretched present self with Hollenhund under her wing, and then the friendship of Honig and Hollenhund (man I need to make a relationship chart I fear) and seeing Essig starting to crack under the strain of commanding her ship -> final chunk showing increasing tensions between our players as well as with external issues, until the imperial blockade finally beats the ship. I’m not explaining it the best right now but ideally I’d want to highlight war (war bad basically lol) and focus on replikas who were products for war, and were neglected as individuals. I swear it’s all so much clearer in my head 😭

Moving on to Kosmos and Dorredt, I think the medium that’d best suit their story would be a video game! Specifically an exploration type one, I’d imagine it having the cozy and adventurous vibes of a game like slime rancher while having gameplay that let you play as both Kosmos and Dorredt, letting you control both of them and having them work together during outer space adventures (like categorizing asteroids or mining from them, exploring, outside ship repair, etc) as well as inside ship tasks like tending to the hydroponics or more maintenance, etc. That’d be the gameplay all while narratively you’d be exploring Kosmos and Dorredt as characters and “helping” their relationship grow over time. Ideally I’d want it to be a bittersweet sort of end with the game coming to a close after receiving a transmission from AEON potentially/not hearing anything at all -> the two of them essentially living out their service lives until both Kosmos and Dorredt can’t function like they used to and eventually die, abandoned by AEON (sorryyyy 😔). I’d want it to be a really sweet and cute game but yeah also with that slightly depressing undertone. I also think that having something like cutscenes in a cute anime type style would be really fun as one of the ways to do storytelling in it. Visually for the rest of the game though I’d imagine it in a more low poly cute style like earlier pokemon games maybe? Something that’d give a nod back to signalis at least. Also could you imagine how cute 2d dialogue sprites of the girls would be 🥹

Last but not least, Holt and Wanze! I really struggled to think of something for them but I wanted to, and ultimately I think a 45-60 minute per episode single season show would also work really well for them. I think animation would be really fun to play with especially when it comes to bioresonance and a look inside Wanze’s mind. Style wise I think I’d want it to be something like The Lovers trailer for them as replikas

Plot wise I have a clearer idea just because I’ve had them and their story longer but I think it’d start with setting up Holt becoming a senior medical replika at sierpinski + Wanze and her role as a kolibri -> Wanze then losing her bioresonance and freaking out after Holt patches her up -> their ensuing strained patient and caretaker relationship to the weird one sided dependency -> their friendship and mutual crushes and eventual romantic relationship -> the flesh and holt’s death with it ending on Wanze alive and alone. As well as throughout the show seeing the background happenings of sierpinski and Holt and Wanze’s relationships to characters like Sieben, Adler, and the rest of the kolibri cadre, etc. I think vibe wise it’d be kinda dark both in terms of aesthetic due to well. Sierpinski. But also the looming threat throughout the show of degradation and ensuing decommission and how Wanze is on extremely thin ice throughout as she struggles with everything.

Now if I did their human AU I’d still love to have it as a show, but in the style of an older anime like Monster (fitting considering the hospital/doctor stuff lmao) or maybe studio ghibli (AUGH old lady Holt in ghibli style. I’m gonna explode)

Plot wise I think that one would be less grim atmospherically but it would still be depressing as hell in the end. It’d go similarly with Wanze injury (I’d imagine human AU she’d be like knight AU and lose an eye maybe) -> holt patch up -> the difference in this show would be that Holt and Wanze wouldn’t have to keep their romantic relationship hidden to stay alive so there’d be a lot more slice of life sweet moments -> Holt getting diagnosed with brain cancer and not telling Wanze for a while so they can keep living happily -> Holt’s decline as the tumor affects her memory and motor control -> her death in this AU too. I think vibe wise this would be a lot more lighthearted and fluffy when it comes to the two of them.

HELP BOROMIR DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER. I'M SO GLAD I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE WHO AGREES WITH ME

CUSS YEAH I DO look I used to be so neutral on Boromir and then like. Two years ago when my family was rewatching the trilogy over New Years (like we always do cause we're iconic like that) I went INSANE OKAY

HE JUST WANTS TO HELP HIS PEOPLE OKAY and the way the movies portray his dynamic with Aragorn is actually so so good? I went on this super long rant toward my friend @heckin-music-dork about it at the time lol but the gist of it is: he starts out so antagonistic toward Aragorn but then he does start to respect him as a warrior and a friend and fights by his side and there are times in Moria where you can almost see him taking cues from Aragorn, waiting to see what he's gonna do next and then he nerds out about Gondor to Aragorn in Lothlorien and just. It's a whole long rant but I'm obsessed with him now and I really, really wish he hadn't died
