captain coming out to humphrey's body so he doesn't have to make himself anxious about verbal responses to something he's never said aloud until that moment. he assumes humphrey's body doesn't understand anything he said. he shuffles past cap to walk away, placing a gentle hand on his upper back in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it acknowledgement of what cap told him
Later that same day when humprey is reunited with his body and in one piece, he meets up with cap and gives him an awkward hug. Cap is like "?? what's all this now" and humph shrugs and goes "idk sometimes I have these feelings that someone's said something important but I never quite know for sure" and Cap has a mini moment of good lord did he actually hear me come out and it's slight panic but he feels relieved once humphrey just smiles because he told someone, he's finally told someone out loud and it wasn't a disaster

Thinking about how this is nothing new. That we should have expected q!roier to reach this point in his spiral. That q!cellbit pretty much warned us about this back during his conversation with q!bagi when he asked if she had looked deeply into q!roier’s eyes and seeing the emptiness in his soul. That q!roier agreeing with q!cellbit in being tired of losing and wanting to go against the federation through bloodshed even if meant having to go against the whole island was just as much of a declaration of love as was him expression a want for self destruction that has sat and festered at least since bobby died.
Thinking about how q!cellbit was one of the only people who could effectively tear down the walls and facades that q!roier puts up. How everyone’s want to return to normal life works for everyone but him, because it hasn’t been normal life since richarlyson went missing. How it feels somehow worst than when the only worry was finding the eggs because at least everyone talked about and did something about that. How in their acceptance of the three new eggs and their refusal to acknowledge purgatory past jokes, to acknowledge how so many people on the island still haven’t returned from purgatory has isolated q!roier. How it has only caused his self-destructive spiral to worsen. How he is sabotaging his relationship with pepito because he simultaneously thinks he’s a distraction and someone he cares about and trying to prepare himself to lose.
Thinking about how when q!bad, the only other person on this island arguably doing close to just as bad as q!roier in his acknowledgment of how bad he’s doing has been the only own to notice that q!roier still isnt smiling, i dont know how the hell he’s supposed to escape this spiral.
Something needs to change, someone needs to realize that q!roier is doing fucking horribly if things are ever gonna get better.

one of my favorite details from the daredevil comics will forever be matt's white cane turning into his escrima sticks
it's about the symbolism
look, as someone who uses a walking cane i fucking love aids that are/turn into weapons. kaz and his lead lined cane hold a special place in my heart, as does the entire concept of sword canes as a whole.
with matt specifically it's, hold on let me see if i can use some of my english essay writing skill here
it's about the symbolism. it's about taking something most people view as a weakness and turning it into a strength. it's about how his main weapons as daredevil, one of the things that make people notice and perceive daredevil as a threat turns into one of the main reasons people overlook and write matt murdock off. it's about turning something mundane into something extraordinary, it's about how it ties back to his identity and how he allows himself to be perceived, how he wants people to see matt murdock, versus how he wants them to see daredevil. it's about bridging that gap via an object that is equally crucial to both identities but in different ways, as either a weapon or an aid.
i could probably go on but just understand that i am forever pissed that they dropped this detail from the tv show because it feels so important to his character, and i just think about it near constantly so just, take this

Astarion probably isn’t used to aftercare with all his trauma regarding sex / intimacy.
So imagine after the first time with you, almost immediately after you both finish, he gets up to re-dress. He expects you to do the same and leave, just like everyone has before you. But instead, you tug him back down into your warm embrace. He’s frozen, unsure what you’re doing but he likes the way you play with his hair. It slows down his erratic post coital heart, as his head relocates to your chest. Astarion comes to the realisation that he’s never actually taken a moment after sex to calm his body down before. It’s nice. You stay like this together for a while, relaxing after all the physical movement from earlier.
‘You okay?’ You mumble to him in a tired haze, ‘Did it feel good? You want some water?’ You begin to sit up, disrupting his position on your chest. For once he doesn’t reply, no flirty quips ready on his tongue. Astarion finds himself half shocked, half in awe that you care how he feels and what he felt like during the act. No one’s ever asked him that before.
You leave the bed briefly to the bathroom and return with a washcloth. You wipe yourself off then gesture towards Astarion, ‘Is it okay for me to clean you?’ You say softly, asking his consent.
He coughs, clearing his throat, ‘Of course,darling,’ he says, clearly covering up his confusion and rising nerves. ‘Are you okay?’ You ask again, repeating the question from earlier.
‘Yes, my love, I’m fine... it’s just no one’s ever done this to me before,’ he states gesturing down to where you carefully wipe his inner thighs. ‘Oh!’ You stutter ‘I can stop if your not comfortable with it—’. ‘I love it.’ he states, cutting you off. Eyes staring warmly into your own.
After this scenario happens I feel like Astarion will make the extra effort to learn proper aftercare for you, he begins to realise how important it is to check in after sex, he never wants you to feel used like he did in the past.
(Notes: sorry this is pure Astarion brainrot. Not proofread/edited. This man has crawled his way into my heart)
