#to this moment i'm still shocked

[ssaraexposs]

This moment is deeper than ANYTHING. Atsushi is actually trusting Akutagawa here, in this very moment. He's opening up about his deepest secret, that no one else knows. And he CHOSE to reveal it to Akutagawa. His sworn enemy. His rival. This is such a PEAK moment.

ALSO YOU KNOW THE WORST PART? A lot of us were thinking Moon could be snapped out of it, if he saw Sun/one of his family members get hurt or killed by his actions -- but now we know NO, THAT'S WRONG, he's perfectly willing to kill his own family members with his own hands and he won't bat an eye!!

kinda wild to me that one of the most compelling aspects of both Chuuya and Kunikida's characters to me, that I never really see talked about, is how they're heavily set on a doomed crash course towards complete and utter destruction, and how I am so, so worried for them both.....

Do you take commissions? If so, do you have a commission sheet? I’m sorry if this is an annoying ask I just really love your work lol

not annoying at all! i really really appreciate this a lot, thank you!

i have done commissions in the past on other platforms, but for now i am not taking them here. i'm not saying that i never will, because sometimes life is.. you know. Like That™️. but for now i'm steering clear of it to try and keep my passion up! 👍

I just started listening to The Magnus Protocol at work (and two days later I'm all caught up 🥲) and I have to say, I was fully expecting to hate Gwen's guts for her terminal case of Snooty Rich Asshole™ but then, basically in her first real in depth introduction as a character, she hits us with

Lena: What do you actually want, Gwen?

Gwen: Your job. :)

And I gotta admit... it had me going

The Heir of Redclyffe is teaching me that what Little Women really needed was for the March sisters to have a clever, witty, sharp-tongued, disabled brother who was BFFs with Laurie.

I honestly have no idea how Moon (this same Moon, New Moon) can come back from this, and be part of the family again when this is all over, now...

Aside from it being revealed to be virus fuckery where he's not fully in control, I genuinely don't see a way back for him now. Before, it might have been doable -- but now he's tried to kill Earth, succeeded in physically hurting her, and revealed he was willing to destroy everything. It's so over.

Which is just so painful to think about. The family bond was one of the best parts of the shows, and even if Moon snaps out of his spiral and remains the same character (aka he's still just New Moon and NOT replaced by Old Moon or fused with Old Moon to create Moon-V.3), the bond is never gonna be the same. Being the most generous, it'll take MONTHS at the very least for Moon to regain any semblance of the bond he had with them before.

(Dang. Christmas this year is gonna be a weird time for the TSAMS gang.)

Part of me wonders if Hickey had killed enough before to become somewhat inured to the physical sensation of it?

Like he was so used to the feeling of plunging a knife into someone's body that when he did so to poor McDonald it didn't immediately register as unusual?

Which leads me to wonder in turn if the reason he does look momentarily shocked is less about the violence itself and more about being confronted so starkly by it?

The last person we know for sure that he killed was the real Cornelius Hickey and from his description of that act, I always imagine it as a very quick and frenzied attack akin to the one he inflicts on Irving. Real-Hickey is dead in the water without ever realising what just happened to him, and Fake-Hickey disappears into the night without ever having to look his poor victim in the face and confront what he's done.

McDonald's death stands in sharp contrast to that vision. No sooner has the violence been done than Hickey and he stand face to blood-streaked face. McDonald stares right at him - "his face a horrible question..." - understanding fully, if briefly, what Hickey has done to him. And Hickey is not only confronted with that understanding - with knowing that McDonald knows, if you will - but confronted with the very real and immediate consequences of his actions in a way that he perhaps hasn't been before (or at least hasn't for some time).

The subject came up today and I can't decide so I'm throwing it out there because I don't give a fuck and also having survived all of this kinda makes me sound like a badass
