Thinking. Abt this but with Bones. Like. Post-Tholian Web? Post-Mirror Mirror?

For AOS, could be after Into Darkness and/or Beyond.

A Bones who's just. So anxious. So stressed. So overwhelmed that it starts taking a toll on his health. Maybe he doesn't even realise - or maybe he does and tries his best to push through it until it knocks him on his ass. Kind of in the vein of "You don't actually know how tired you are until you stop. And then you just physically cannot start again." It becomes his new baseline, a problem that just brews and storms in the distance.

And he just carries on. And keeps going and going and going until one day he realises that 'Oh fuck, I'm not okay' and has about 5 seconds of warning before he straight up collapses, doesn't matter if it's on the bridge, in the madbay, on a planet - he's going down. (Maybe a repeat of Tholian Web where he just straight up faints into Spock's arms? Full whammy, why not)

Maybe it's a high-tension situation getting resolved that does it. The pure relief of it reminds him of how tired he is. How tired he's been for a while. His body sees that momentary rest and goes "More of that, please. And I'm not asking."

And he's so rendered by it that he doesn't grumble about being coddled like he normally would when he wakes up. He knows not to fuck with the medbay staff - they're just as firm as he is on recovery, and that's not by accident - and he knows that Spock and Kirk will be hovering, because they see any problem as something they, too, should shoulder the burden of.

...And because they're some of the most protective people in the damned universe. And that goes for pretty much all the people on board the Enterprise.

In some scenarios, it's just a case of letting his body and mind rest properly. In others, there's a lot more recovery involved than anyone initially expects. Luckily for him, he has a found family who are determined to be there with him at every step. It just takes a couple reminders, every once in a while.

#leonard bones mccoy #star trek tos #star trek aos #whump #back on my bullshit #aos bones fretting over Jim and Spock and their injuries; completely forgetting that hes also a little worse for wear #thinking back to dustykneed's post abt him being fucked up and grieving after ST:ID and. Lets just make it even more physical #After the issues they face from that; Spirk are more aware of Bones' tendency to brush things off. are more equipped to take care of him #when he needs it; just as he does for them. He's so stubbornly self sufficient and it worries them. But they're equally as stubborn and #loving. Unstoppable Force meets Immovable Object. I feel like post ST:ID is where they kind of Learn that Bones keeps shit on the down low #Because like. Bones will complain. Unless it's smth that's just affecting him. And then he suddenly keeps it to himself. When he complains #abt that whole fiasco he complains abt Jim dying. Abt Spock almost dying on that planet. About how they all almost died. But he doesn't tal #about how HE almost died from that fucking torpedo almost blowing up on him. Not a word. Jim forgot it had even happened until like. Carol #brings it up in passing. Maybe she has nightmares on the incident. But he realises Bones has just NEVER fucking mentioned it despite him #being the master complainer. That sets off the first alarm bells. And then maybe Uhura asks Jim how Bones is doing bc she knows that Bones #would just say he's fine. But Jim is like ??? Bc why wouldn't Bones be okay. And then she realises that HE HASN'T realised that Bones is th #kind of motherfucker to suffer in silence. and she's like Jim. Jim he literally ran himself to the ground trying to revive you. Jim. Are yo #kidding me have you NOT TALKED ABOUT THAT??? ANY OF IT??? Thus... Jim realises or maybe even Remembers what Bones is like #bc maybe at some point he DID know Bones well enough to know when he's fucking himself over. But all the Bullshit that theyve gone through #and the fact they work in entirely different parts of the ship kind of. Alienated them a bit. And suddenly hes like. Oh. Oh No. Oh FUCK. #because Jesus how the FUCK does he even approach this. But he manages it. And Spock gets in on it too as he slowly gets to know the doctor #And then post-beyond its like. Yeah. All three of them gang up on each other. That includes Spock and Kirk making sure Bones is as Fine as #he always says he is. #anyway. Yeah. I just think Bones probably stresses and overthinks too much but god forbid anyone comfort him. Self sacrificing bastard #wow this is a lot of alphabet soup im so sorry AHAHA

trying to enjoy alien force despite how much ben’s voice annoys the hell out of me,.,,, just another of God’s little tests

#he sounds so boy scout man every time he speaks im like WHYYYY does he SOUND like that bro #i just don’t think it fits him at all #one of many criticisms i have abt alien force but i wanna watch it bc i loved the original show #and i wanna see the new stuff #im playing catch-up #ben 10

me going into marvel's spider-man 2 expecting to be unwell levels of horny for venom, only to come out of it attracted to harry osborn:

#i've never liked harry in past iterations because he's always depicted as an entitled brat #sure. he's sympathetic when you consider his dad. but they sort of just pack on the incel with him in the animated shows and live actions #vs seeing a harry osborn that's not only sympathetic bc of his fraught relationship with norman but ALSO #bc he has every reason to feel betrayed in this game #he's forced into a legacy he doesn't want to pursue by a father who is way more canonically loving than usual but still dangerous #he loses his mother who is his idol at a young age to a terminal illness that he then inherits and has to accept he won't recover from #except he might. because this miracle alien in his body could save him #and yet he gives it up to peter as he lay dying because he cannot lose his best friend #only now it looks like said best friend wants to keep that miracle from him because it makes him feel more powerful. and he tries to be #understanding but his body is FAILING him. he needs venom but venom doesn't want him #but even when he gets venom back he still is sound enough to realize the carnage (ha) venom leaves in his wake and begs peter to KILL him #because he's a dead man either way #and he won't hurt the people he loves. and he won't hurt others #not like norman #because he's not norman. he's his mother #mjspeaks #anyway. #i made this post bc i'm writing harry again and i love him

having a tav that's a Lloth-sworn life domain cleric of a noble background who before getting yeeted into the nautiloid was a sacrificial priestess (gn) during one of the cycles of Drow society and had their own altar and temple under their care, means Solune would have the most insane however many minutes they spent interacting with Minthara and I am obsessed about it. As far as I'm conceptualising it, I'm thinking of Lloth as extremely Ungoliant-like. Goddess of hunger, goddess of wanting and consumption, goddess of excess and exuberance, goddess who unmasked the hypocritical gods of starvation, guilt and purity into a society that cherishes a certain kind of clarity about the double standard they impose. For Drow are evil for their wars and their wanting and their taking, but those other people with their other gods kill, warmonger and enslave with no regard and no self-awareness, calling the indignation about receiving scraps from a bunch of silent, unrepentant gods, "guilt and shame". There is violence in denial and her Children will not suffer it.

In the season of Life, they do not sacrifice the unwilling. It is taboo. The only sacrifice that matters is the desire to be devoured and destroyed by the things you love the most.

And Solune sees Minthara and is like fucking finally, someone rational enough to get what I'm going through, that they're losing their mind that their life was taken from them and if they become this other thing, if they transform, if they do not remain Luxe Solune Mizzmyrra, Life Knife of Lloth, they're never going to be able to be reintegrated into that life. They will die away from home, from their temple, from their (first) spouse, from their mother and their siblings and there won't be the day when they too succumb to the knife, when it is time, when the day they no longer feel hunger comes.

And then the parasite gives them an in into Minthara thinking she was raised from the darkness into a FALSE GOD? One thing you do not do is steal from Lady Lloth, and oh my god, there could've been a time, a chance that existed only in ignorance, of Solune lending a hand to Minthara but this to them is unforgivable because Solune is genuinely a good friend to their friends, but if you keep peeking into whatever mindset nobility and religious authority has given them it's like realising your friend is a cesspool of "what the actual and everliving fuck", and when the knife of the morningstar priestess comes down on Minthara it won't be with love but with absolute rage, grief and disgust and I will be thinking about this for evermore. Thanks, I'm not well

#bg3 #bg: solune #minthara #i love Solune they're so fun to build with because it's like sometimes organically they will reach the same conclusion as Wyll about sth #(I did NOT expect them to get along but he is their highest approval followed by Lae'zel) #but it's someone who has such an Alien concept of society to literally everyone else in the party. Solune is (fundamentally!!!) land owning #power concentrating nobility and no matter what they do not matter what conclusion their reach this specific brand of social conservativism #and verticality informs them to their very core. however also and cannot be dismissed that bc of how I'm conceptualising Lloth #(sorry but to write a vertical society that just brutalises itself what is this? western europe? fuck off) #Solune is by some contradiction one of the most You Do You people possible. but like. to a weird extreme and a wouldn't thou like to live #deliciously manner. oh you want to be FREE from your past then BE IT. oh you want to find your place in the world? then let that place #consume you and change you forever until the day there is no more than hungers in you and you can truly say you have lived #terrible enabling force but also extreme nurturing capacity #and above all they want that life back and sympathise with those feelings so well #but if there is one thing they cannot stand and that they will maim you on the spot about is heresy against lloth because you were not give #the gift of unmasking the hypocrisy of the gods of the above to waste yourself turning your back against the underdark jewels of Drow citie #there where the darkness does not mean shadows but the glimmering light of jewels. what do you mean some people live unfair lives? #well have they thought living better??? #i'm obsessed with Solune and whatever the fuck is wrong with them (it's money. it's having money)

i love looking at people's aesthetic tags because theres usually some sort of theme going on

#moodboard is the one most important tag on my acc bc thats the one i like looking at again and again #milk (normal) #i feel very alienated from the world and people most of the time and i don't think anyone or anything can change that #but im also getting better at feeling at peace with it and accepting that i don't really belong being okay with that is important to me #so i like brutalist buildings and things that are overtly like hey you don't belong and im like *nods* i know but i am just visiting #i am just peeking my head in and i will be on my way in a bit but you are gorgeous i love how you hate me #i know this sounds very depressing and it is sometimes but its also kind of freeing in a way to give up yknow and not have to try #-to force extroversion or to try and fake emotions and caring that isn't there and just sorta exist in an area #where im not being held to human standards and scrutiny #idk i am very apathetic about stuff in general it's been this way since i was a baby and ive decided to start embracing it instead of #-thinking of it as a moral or social failing that i have to correct #anyways thats a whole essay hope u guys get what i mean. #yeah im doing alright

You know reading vol 5 of mdzs before all the rest (don't ask me why I'm a clown and there were Circumstances) has to be the craziest experience of my life. Because it took all of ten minutes of wwx talking to literally hit me so hard in the gut I had to sit down and listen to really loud music for a while to calm down.

Who needs therapy when mxtx is alive and writing, I guess????? 🤡

Can't wait to get to the actual tragic parts I just know I'm gonna be that "help" frog phone meme

#mdzs #i was really out here thinking svsss would be my fave bc of lbh #and then i finally get around to reading mdzs and it blows my expectations out of the fucking water holy actual shit #and i just had this feeling the first time i read parts of it like 'oh. this series is going to kill me. im not coming back from this.' #and here i am booboo the fool getting my clown ass make-up on #idk how to explain it like i just fucking LOVE mxtx's takes on arrogance #that wwx is constantly being perceived as a show off and an incorrigible flirt and a know it all #how wwx cant always help the ways he acts out the desperation that has embedded itself into his very bones #how wwx only ever wanted to do the right thing and that having been so much of his downfall #how his worth and talent would always be eclipsed by virtue of his circumstances #how he's above needing recognition at his core but at the same time longs for an ounce of good will and positive recognition -> #how human he is despite his brilliance. how he never gets it no matter how hard he tries to be worthy. #like to me wwx is emblematic of what it means to be poor/an immigrant in high places #always villified always alien always wrong always unwelcome #no matter how clever or capable or kind youll always be an eyesore because you don't 'act right'. not 'one of them.' you never will be. #i just...the way he just wanted it all to be over by the end. the way he didnt even want to come back to life. that he was sick of it all. #im rattling the bars of my cage i love him I LOVE HIM i love him #i understand you lan wangji (and i love lwj too) #and even lan wangji too like. the way so many of their issues in the beginning stems from that self-same problem #how lwj couldn't live with his out of control feelings how he too couldn't quite lay down his pride #how lwj was also trapped by the expectations of his clan in his own way how so much of their separation was a form of penance #that the calamity of wwx's loss forced him to reconsider everything he thought he knew about himself and his life #how he was left with nothing but regret. how when wwx returns--lwj refuses to leave anything to chance this time #he refuses to let wwx be alone anymore--refuses to let him hurt himself for the sake of others refuses to just let it all happen #even if it means overstepping a boundary or propriety it doesn't matter--as long as wwx stays with him. pride be damned #god i just can't i just can't do it im biting im ripping things apart GOD #will also say the jokes about lwj being like. 'strict moral compass or BUST.' and then wwx literally committing like 17 felonies in the bg #while lwj is like 'crimes? what crimes. nothing to see here.' NEVER stops being funny. like i was pissing myself laughing #i know its a known trope but by god are they hilarious about it #also. lan qiren how many times do your nephews have to go catatonic for you to stop with the catholic guilt and repression

okay fuck it we ball im posting resident alien stuff here. hyperfixation time. spoilers below so be warned.

im sooo bummed over the recent ep. the gripe i have w every single piece of media happened agaiiinnnnn. can i have ONE thing that doesnt force relationship arcs. especially ones that dont fit the initial or continuing tone of the shoooow. <--- edit again to clarify. i loved the tone of s1. i want that back. its getting too comedyish.

like i rlly connected w harry esp the fact he wasnt really getting infatuated with anyone but this whole horned up episode was grating to watch. like i still think there were sweet moments but boooo 🍅💥🍅💥 im hoping its just for some sort of conflict and that itll get squashed come the next few eps. (ALSO EDIT: at least the thing with harry and isabelle was palatable. gahhh im just peeved….)

s1 was so baller too like it had good clever comedy and still had drama to it. like im hoping the very like… bland surface level humor gets dialed back. like its soooo forced to me. but i guess thats what the average viewer likes which is dog doodoo. dont make it a sitcom please im begging. it was soooo unique.

i will be rewatching season 1 for the 5th time tonight but another thing i noticed is the increased use of like… musical scores. its like one step removed from a laugh track. gahh.

anyways im a harry asta supporter also harry joseph supporter so this forced stuff hurts to watch esp bc it doesnt fit character to me. considering harrys whole thing so far has been about developing and realizing connections, the sudden shift to horniness just! isnt consistent. not to be autistic or anything haha.

speaking of! i think its boring and cheap to have this alien/alien thing going on. and also feels really like.. “nd people can never fit in so they have to be with other nd people.” i think i wouldnt be so turned away if it was more genuine. but this is a comedy ig, i just wish it was handled differently. its uninteresting to meeeee. like an alien/alien thing can work but not like this. gives very nd are forever seen as weird and are therefor ostracized. like it feels othering to me. ESP BC OF HOW FORCED UGHHHHHHH i hate forced romance shit so much. perhaps thats an unpopular take but i said what i said! sudden nonmeaningful stuff like this i feel will kill the show. i wouldnt be surprised if it fizzles out.

UM ALSO? tudyk bringing up shape of water on insta abt the newest ep????? i dont think so???????? i never watched that but i kind of know what it was about and it certainly wasnt fish on fish love. smdh. like i feel like the reason why it was so big when it came out was (albeit as someone who hasnt watched it and have surface level understanding) bc it was between a lady and fish guy. and it was heartfelt. not to be harry asta or anything but that was already developing so like. AGHHHUU. even a harry joseph dynamic i can get around in a way bc theres room for development. also itd be gay so thats a plus.

anyways i might check out the graphic novels. told myself i wouldnt bc my brain works weird but maybe itd be a good idea to get into that. unfortunately i will probably be begrudgingly keeping up bc im hyperfixated on it. GAHHHGG anyways ramble rant over.

edit ps: i will also clarify that if asta were to be written out to be nd i would be just as pleased if not more pleased. im just not liking how this is going so far. tomato tomato tomato

#resident alien you couldve been so much more… #go back baby dont do all thsi…. #sorry bout sudden infodump post #i havnt been this attached to something in a really long time #sucks to see it change like this #couldve been like a bcs audience or dare i say spn with how crazy those days were #but its gotten so much more like.. bland and less thoughtful to me :-/ #oh well #i think my fear kind of is the fact even the teams not a fan of the.. harry asta stuff. so the bird ladys just going to be a perma addition #its too forced for me peace and love #ra posting #clarifying i think my fandom days are over and also i do not want to repeat my middleschool-highschool fandom era but in terms of like #amount of viewers and support for a show. THATS what i mean by spn era. minus all the weird stuff. #anyways im a hater now (kind of but not really but also i am)

like I'm serious, maybe I'm just misinterpreting twitter discourse(tm) or I'm getting mad about an issue that doesn't exist. or maybe I'm wrong! idk. but I see it everywhere and I see it more and more. 'talking to friends is forcing them to do emotional labor' 'don't ask for help hire a professional' 'don't ask friends to help you move out as an adult' do people act like this in real life. I hate it here

#misc.txt #a rare occasion of me getting on a soapbox and ranting #like.. healthy boundaries are a good thing. I'm not saying you have to be able to do everything all the time for everyone. #bc you don't. that's absurd and you will burn out very quickly #but #I'm not kidding when I say that I think this idea of keeping friends at arms length and seeing platonic relationships as #easily discarded or not worth much or not a commitment #kills people. 'talking to your friends is forcing them to do emotional labor!1!!!1!1' and you ask why ppl are chronically lonely. #we're not fucking business partners we're friends. and I say this even as someone who has no idea how to express affection #my love language is coming to your house and weeding your lawn or driving you to the doctor or whatever. be there for each other #put some effort into other people. let them put effort into you. support and be supported. etc. stop with the culture of alienation ffs. #what is even the point if nobody means anything to each other

ok sorry for grace ranting again but like. no really did infinity train fans and i watch the same season because literally so much shit ppl claim about her is not true

#like ‘’ugh shes never held accountable for her actions shes forgiven immediately ’’ NOT AT ALL??? #she watches the child she grew to love decide to abandon her because she enabled her friend to abuse her and she herself manipulated her #and alienated her and traumatized her and it is THE POINTTT that she was a bad person!! #the whole season is about her being forced to confront her lifestyle and behavior and grapple with the weight of her actions #and by god she CHOOSES to become a better person and shes not a karma houndini she watches her friend die for fucks sake #the show knows full well that she was bad and it never once tries to excuse her or handwave it and she comes to the conclusion that she has #to change on her own instead of being forced to #and dont get me started on the ppl who take glory in being like #‘’ugh shes awful because she told simon that bigger numbers were the goal! if it werent for her simon wouldve been fine!’’ #like wow. i sure hope u share that vitriol with amelia and one one. bc theyre at fault for that in the big picture #like. grace did NOT have any guidance at all and she was a terrified child with an already screwed up home life #and seei my amelias robot was her ONLY clue. ffs she did not cackle and go ‘’ah yes i must be EVIL to win- #and i will TELL this RANDOM KID to raise his number because i KNOW im wrong mwahaha’’ #like yes she absolutely bears responsibility because she did give him the idea and she did enable him so shes not blameless #but its not solely on her. they were all failed by the adults around them and thats the point. the train system is horrifying #echoed voice #anyways. yall beg for complex female characters and then bitch when you get them

we should make a hard sci fi/space opera type of au where the party are all a crew on their own spaceship and the upsidedown/vecna is a weird eldritch space horror or something

#stranger things #byler #the party #posts that expose me as someone who's watched the expanse #you may be asking “is six people enough to crew a spaceship rori?” and the answer is yes if it's a normal current day one #but I'm thinking of the hard sci-fi types of spaceships where the space force is akin to a navy #in which case the answer is yes again bc they do that in the expanse and this post IS inspired by the expanse #(even though I'm not calling it an expanse au) #but it WOULD be understaffed #actually wait speaking of the expanse I just remembered how the prototmolecule as in the thing for the entire fucking plot #is some weird alien bacteria/weapon of some sort that LITERALLY INFECTS LIVING CREATURES TO USE THEM FOR IT'S OWN GAIN #so henry could totally be an initial host (although admittedly he wouldn't be able to be in control like he is in st #eh you could fuck with the canon for that ig #anyway yeah I want a hard sci fi au bc I actually just want my found family all living together #and that's way easier if they crew a spaceship #also love how I said “we should”. who is we babygirl?

[waywardsalt]

ok since tears of the kingdom is coming out like. insanely soon i figured i’ll just dump how i’ve been feeling abt it here. i wont tag for them and i dont intend to share any but because i have been actively seeking out spoilers i will vaguely reference them here so… idk really long musings on this game and my feelings abt it

(im just writing this out mostly for myself since i really kind of just. want to really figure out how i feel about this)

i… am not excited for totk?

i’ve figured out a bit ago that my severely waning interest in botw and general anxiety and discontent surrounding totk is just that… these games arent for me. i dont enjoy open world games with half a million things for you to do like it’s basically a sandbox. i struggle to really enjoy singleplayer minecraft. the space stage in spore gives me genuine anxiety, both when i played it as a kid and again when i reached it as an adult.

botw and totk are not games for me, and that’s cool. i’ve figured that out.

so why am i getting so damn anxious about this new game?

i am getting totk- not entirely of my own volition, i live with someone who is very genuinely excited for it, so it’s pre-ordered digitally on our switch. i am going to play it and complete it at least once.

the gameplay and world of botw never really got to me, and even what snippets of gameplay i see for totk dont really entice me. it just makes me anxious to think about the sheer amount of new stuff i’ll be dropped in the middle of and how i really dont care about this version of link or zelda or anyone else in botw’s hyrule

and some of the story spoiler stuff and general direction this game is going in has me just worried that the zelda series is moving away from what it used to be into an entirely new direction, that being a direction that it seems like i wont enjoy as much as everyone else seems to

so then i guess my main worry outside of totk is that i just end up struggling to really feel connected to the rest of the community about this? being a contrarian is fun until everyone is enjoying something you for some reason can’t get yourself to

i dont have a lot of hope in the story of totk to harken back to… ANYTHING of worth that past games have built up and made to be so important and interesting. hype is a dangerous thing for a not-yet-released game, and while i think the insane amount of speculation and theories and hype around totk will cause a lot of people to be disappointed with the final story, i dunno if i really wouldve liked it even if the story actually piqued my interest

maybe totk’s gameplay will really hook me. maybe i’ll enjoy the massive open world and gmod-ass gimmicks. but what ive seen of the story makes me less interested and the snippets of gameplay i see just make me remember how bored i now am with botw

at the end of the day this is just a video game with tags on this site i can blacklist and videos i can ignore and lore i can brush aside because at this point loz canon is a suggestion more than anything

i just cant shake the discomfort of once again being an outlier as everyone i see loses their mind about this new game while i just feel overwhelmed by it. i have played botw for a long time and have long since worn it out. i played age of calamity to completion and have not touched it or cared for it beyond the music since. i am not excited about totk and i feel like i am in the wrong due to my opinion

#salty talks #kinda personal? just angsting abt totk and being a lil negative abt it #at this point im not expecting it to blow me away. i no longer have fun playing botw. i do not care for the story or characters #this if anything is to soothe my nerves and is for the sake of my own wellbeing to articulate how i feel about this #it is cool to like. put your feelings into words. this is a lot more eloquent than ‘i miss linebeck’ #it feels kinda selfish to bitch abt a game thats not out yet and complain abt it not seeming enjoyable to me #but it looks like a genuinely good game. but its not for me. and thats what im ruminating on here #like i love linear stories games that limit you and fun little gimmicks and characters with complex arcs and all that #i played a little bit of skyward sword earlier and was finishing up the cistern dungeon and was so delighted to see the main statue lowered #i love the dungeons with gimmicks that flip everything around and force you to really think abour your next move #im excited to reach the water temple in oot again to swim around and tinker with the water level #i cant wait to finish oot and move onto mm and its wonderful gameplay and areas #id love to revisit albw and get back to playing ph (and maybe finishing triforce heroes idk abt that one i just want the linebeck outfit) #i played botw for like ten minutes a few weeks ago and then put it away without a second thought #so. if anyone wanted to know how i feel abt totk. its a bit alienating #i might blacklist every variation of ze/ink tbh. sayonara you weeaboo shits and your bland fucking milquetoast ship thats kinda irritating #i may delete this bc it errs on the side of being too personal but i really just need to write this stuff downh #anyways. going back to writing my thing abt my oc n linebeck hanging out and being gay

It's so impressive to me how Alien and Aliens are both really good horror movies that are equally incredibly tense/scary, but in practically the exact opposite ways. And ah man they really both hold up so well for being pretty old movies 🥺

#but okay like what i mean in opposite ways. ex: #like aliens is much more of an action movie and alien is a lot more of a thriller #but both are super scary despite aliens being way more campy and over the top #in alien theres only one xenomorph but in aliens theres basically unlimited xenos #<- yet its equally tense #i love how in alien its a very enclosed space and theyre being stalked and hunted by the xeno and getting picked off #and in aliens its basically a battle btwn them #and yet both make me wanna hide my eyes behind my hands #and in aliens they actually are able to kill the xenomorphs but it doesnt remove any tension #ig i thought i remembered Alien being scarier but i just rewatched Aliens and god. so tense #tho i still think i prefer the vibe in Alien. the tension is so well done and claustrophobic #but Aliens is so quotable i love it so much. rewatching it made me realize how much i quote it lmfao #'game over!!! game over man!!!' <- constant. #but ig the easiest way to describe the differences btwn the two is that + #the xeno in Alien is a character of its own and the ones in Aliens are just a force of their own. if that makes sense? #anyways. great movies my absolute favs :) #but ig its crazy to be how i cant rly watch Predator(which is from the yr after Aliens) bcs it feels too dated for me #and i watch alien and aliens and its like wow these are from 30+ years ago????? #i think my two closest friends have never seen either sob sob #i really need to force them to watch them bcs to me they are the best horror movies of all time. actually. >:) #*oh also i think Alien Isolation is soooooo fucking good. such an underrated horror game #<- not that i could ever play it myself cause id die #but it does the original movies justice so well. maybe even scarier sometimes 😭 just cause youre the one being hunted #catie.rambling.txt

Unpopular König Opinions/HCs:

-He has some experience. Not a virgin but didn’t have a ton of partners either.

-Has many fantasies abt you & asks you if you guys can try them. Role play/you being the boss and making him beg are his favorites.

-Hates being seen as cute. He is 6’10 and is built like a horse. He is a man. And likes to be seen as such. HOWEVER, has a cute side that only you see. He will be cute only to you but everyone else, he is König, The Great.

-I CANT SAY THIS ENOUGH, HE ONLY WEARS HIS OPERATOR GEAR WHILE ON THE JOB & NO WHERE ELSE 😤
