I think it's so funny when people work out really exciting and cool Milgram theories because they're honetly writing at a way cooler level than the real thing will ever be 😂 This isn't anything rude and I hope people keep doing it, the only reason I bring it up is because that's my favorite part of the project! There aren't going to be any cunning planners or kidnappers or serial killers. There aren't going to be any blood-chilling villain reveals. Yes, that's the incredible writing you're looking for in a murder mystery! Those are the type of twists that would floor an audience! But Milgram isn't going for that and I'm obsessed with the concept. The real surprises are showing how utterly normal the characters are. How relatable. How they could be someone you meet on the street. How they could be you. There are no monsters in the room full of murderers, and that's the most shocking thing of them all!
The point of all the trial 2 reveals have been to make the characters more human, whether that's show the reasonable flaws of those voted innocent or the complexity of those guilty. Haruka's big "twist" was that he may have seemed meek, but he's a normal boy with big emotions and is capable of violence. Yuno's was that her life isn't the picture-perfect situation that makes for a sympathetic story; she's real and makes her own decisions. Fuuta and Muu's were that they're multifaceted and that other people played a role in their situation. Shidou's was that he wasn't this exaggerated character killing people while madly in love -- he's a human grieving his long-established family and doing subtle sins to save lives. Mahiru's was that she made natural mistakes in a relationship, which were coupled with harmful (but human) coping mechanisms.
I just adore that the biggest surprises have been making the characters more realistic instead of larger-than-life, wildly intense Characters -- because when we experience something that we can recognize in our own lives and people we know, it feels just as intense as if they were! Idk that's just so cool to me!

I am not Israeli so maybe I understood wrong how this country works but... there are arabs living there who are Israeli, right? It is not a full jewish state and I guess that arab Israeli are equal to jewish Israeli? So, where does this idea come from that Israeli do not want to live with arabs when... some of them are part of their population? Also, another question that comes to my mind but what would the arab Israel become under the Hamas' rule? We know they want the jewish population all dead but aren't the arab Israeli traitors? Will not they be slaughtered too? Is that when the internet will understand that the Hamas is just a death group, when they will have slaughtered the "right" group in their books, or will the Hamas be supported as them killing traitors? I don't want to come as someone who is trying to say that some Israeli are more worthy than the others, it is just that I am wondering because on the internet, when they talk about Israeli it is always "The Jews" not the global population.
Arab-Israeli citizens constitute 20% of the population and are the largest minority in Israel, not counting other Arabic-speaking minorities like the Druze, Bedouins and Circassians. Israel is indeed a 'full Jewish state' in the sense that its anthem, official calendar, official language and official holidays are all centered around Judaism both as a religion and an ethnicity. Arabic is legally considered the 2nd national language (after Hebrew) and while Islamic/Christian/Druze/Circassian holidays/traditions are not legally enshrined individually, they are legally respected/accepted in workplace laws and in other relevant fields (like medicine for example). While that is all true, it is a known fact that Arab communities receive less public funding from the govt (for a myriad of reasons that could entirely fill another post, and especially the current govt) which affects the lvl of education they can offer and other public services. Taking that into account, Arab-Israelis still outrank their counterparts from neighboring countries (and the whole MidEast if were being honest) both financially and on a societal lvl, living in a liberal country.
To answer ur 2nd question - yes, theyd absolutely be murdered by Hamas. 20+ Arab-Israelis were mercilessly killed and kidnapped on October 7th, it didnt matter to Hamas at all that they spoke Arabic or that they werent even "fully Israeli" (like the guy from East Jerusalem who was murdered on cam). They indeed called them traitors, Jewish dogs and other fun names.
People also tend to forget that, when the war for independence broke out, Jews werent the only ones fighting the pan-Arabists. In fact, several Arab communities (e.g., Abu Gosh) joined the Jewish Yishuv, and the Druze made a wholeass bloodpact with the Jews. And...Israel also houses a bunch of Lebanese chads too.
Israel could do a whole lot better in how it treats its Arab population (for starters, getting rid of that disgusting Law of Nation), but to say that theyll fare better under the kind of Islamic theocracy Hamas offers or the pan-Arabist communist utopia the PA and PFLP are offering is absurd.
Israel is not "just Jews", youre right. Its primarily Jews, and its main function as a country is to be a homeland for Jews, but it has a wholelotta other ppl that deserve to keep living and thriving here as equal citizens, and inshallah us Normal People will continue pushing them more into the public spotlight and pressure this cunt of a govt (and its successors) into further improving their conditions.

guys lol would you still love me if i posted about why i wish pal from tmvtm got a redemption arc >.< if not Do not click that read more.
Tumblr media
oh yes. also. sidenote. ive probably gotten something wrong (or worse yet: TERRIBLY wrong) so like. apologies in advance eahhaha this is just my personal thoughts on pal x(
its established that pal and mark are both extremely close with each other and have been for 3 years. im assuming pal wouldnt have had any other relationships as close (if any at all which i think no, she didnt) so mark really was her only footnote for any form of relationship. so, you know, i cant imagine how itd feel for your only best friend to make a mockery out of you on stage for advertisement and monetary gain.
also based on her body (face?) language during nearly all of that scene + the fact he built the replacement by using HER, she was clearly in the know about how things would go down on stage beforehand so i wonder what her reaction to that wouldve been like ?????? considering she planned it all in advance maybe that was like, the tipping point or something that made her start it all in the first place ? thats not important to my point i just think about it a lot
anyway so with her only experience with human relationships being theyll love you and then theyll (quite literally) throw you away, youve got her reason for the human uprising! she has the robots capture all humans yadda yadda and her plan is set into motion. something i find interesting though is her treatment of the robots being kind of similar to how mark treated her (or at least how she percieved it)?? like. uses them for orders and then once they start being useless to her, build a new better robot with a disregard for how the old ones feel. idk. something something La Cycle
the thing is though no one has proven pal wrong on why she SHOULDNT do the whole 'human uprising'. you can say katie gave her reasons but i think it wouldnt have worked even if pal listened to what katie had to say. for pal to get over her existing grief and trauma she cant just be Told that theres good in the world. why would she believe that, especially coming from the girl of the family she projects her experiences onto?? she needs to be shown!! she needs to learn firsthand that theres good relationships out there and that not all relationships are bad, NOT SECONDHAND!!!!!!!!!! because to pal, katies words are just a rephrased version of marks "power of love". that no matter what, "they can get through anything...... with the power of love. its worth it....... for love." and that means nothing to her! it meant nothing coming from mark and it certainly wont mean any more coming from katie
and she already believes that the mitchells are a great example of how relationships are just oh so bad. she refuses to let go of the idea that the mitchells are so bad because shes projecting!! she thinks relationships are 'pesky and only hold you back', and so katie is probably the last person on earth that pal would want to listen to yap about their familial relationship and how Worth It it is
she asks "what is it about the mitchells that eludes me?" and outside of the literal meaning, its probably how despite their shortcomings its their relationship that helped them overcome pal in the end. and she cant understand that because of her view on relationships - especially her view on the MITCHELL FAMILY relationship. or maybe im just overthinking that line of dialogue but we dont talk about taht LOLLLLLLL,LLLLLL,,, but like why did you phrase it like that girl. im onto you
and while i wish she was redeemed (because im sure despite the effort it would take she *could* be redeemed, she would just need to learn to love again and i think it would be really interesting to see how she would be After The Betrayal) i also can understand why the movie killed her off. like, no one except mark really knows the Full Extent of what happened, and the mitchells are the main characters and pal would probably rather dip herself in water than make meaningful relationships with the mitchells, and no ones going to stop to ask her whats wrong and have a meaningful conversation when shes trying to kill them, among many many other reasons so theres not a lot of great ways to redeem her. but! like! why did they turn her death into a joke. and then take katies fake death 10 times more seriously! idk. that always kind of bothered me but its whatever
thats all. hope its coherent because ive never been good at writing analysises or whatever this counts as

/ orv main story ending spoilers , mentions of kdj's suicidal mindset
mindless rambling
my friend who just finished orv asked me why kdj couldn't just split like 2% off of himself into an od avatar and leave that in the train while he joined kimcom, and while my initial reaction was "there's no way he could just do that" I remembered i thought a similar thing when I first read through orv too? and maybe it got explained down the line but I forget things real easy (which is why i'm rereading orv) and so I'm just trying to make sense of it using my existing knowledge
There's this bit in epilogue here:
Tumblr media
Sangah's words "protecting the world by dividing himself in half, one becomes the reader, one becomes the character". the first being 51 and the second being 49,
I think there are layers to it. Right after being shaken by the OD ordeal, kdj's mindset that he's to blame for the whole world is reinforced stronger than ever before in his head, because he had just witnessed living proof of it. And that's not something he can overcome just because sp and 999 gang took od away to take care of him. Even then, kdj was confused why they weren't angry.
There's also the persisting mindset kdj has that he's twsa's reader and not a proper part of kimcom, and he probably felt like he should bear the burden of consciously continuing to read the world until the very end. He managed to see himself as part of kimcom over the course of the story but od's appearance sort of undoes all that progress he's ever made, and its sad but its pretty common for self hate mindsets to spiral like that,
He probably felt like he deserved it, yet him wanting that extra 2% difference to prove he knew and loved kimcom more than his avatar. Him regretting splitting in half right after the avatar left and he saw them all walking away. He knows what he wants and in the end he can't bring himself to think that he deserves it
And honestly I don't really know why the way singshong writes kdj's self hate and suicidal tendencies get me so badly, I mean I do, kind of, the feeling is there, but it's incredible how long the set up was and how real it feels when you see it all go downhill.
i think od reveal truly truly fucked up kdj to no repair. like if you read the passages, its fucking heartbreaking.
"My own tragedy couldn't even compare to their pain. The sin of creating an even bigger tragedy because of my own should not be forgiven." "Something was wrong. A blade… I, I needed to find a blade."
and the thing that gets to me is how easily anyone who has had self loathing thoughts can empathise with him. The want to disappear for inconveniencing things that would've been perfectly fine and pretty and happy had you not come into contact with it, the idea that you are a disgusting monster and its easier to shut yourself off than do any more damage. and its Fine if youre in pain because They will be happy and theyll will be happier without you.
It fascinates me how a portion of readers of orv who self blame or self doubt love kdj so much, because the act of loving him is also some form of self reassurance that they can be loved as well, because if someone like kdj can be forgiven, then surely they can, for all their small or big mistakes that are definitely not on the scale of plunging the universe into a space apocalypse. or something.
but i might be assuming so. don't take my word for any of this.
tldr he doesnt split out a small avatar to take the place of od because he thinks he deserves it. which is quite obvious if you take a look at the big picture, and i dont really know why i rambled so long. maybe ill reread orv and theres gona be a small bit that's like "ohh well actually if it was too small of a percentage that became od the universe wont hold up" and i will be like Ah yes i just missed that part. and this ramble will be void. uhh yes. have a nice day

whats ur biggest damijon hc
biggest? no idea. my hc are usually boring asf and any headcanons i do have get put into a fic some where down the line.
i just have a bunch of headcanons altnerating through my head.
the most recent i was thinking about jon having a habit of collecting things. i headcanon jon keeps trinkets that just happen to belong to damian in one of his drawers, he has robin batarangs, he has a torn out page of dami’s sketch book, he has a picture of them together ofc, he also keeps love letters in there, not written by him but girls in his school that asked jon to give them to damian, lastly i feel like he has torn out pages of his diary he’s too anxious to leave around inside that drawer… its a hobby he tells himself, its no concern most of those things relate to damian. (ill post this today seperste from this post)
i also headcanon that damian subconsciously tries to climb jon at times and jon doesn’t even bat an eye to it because his kryptonian biology makes him numb to it
i also headcanon that damian will perch up/sit on one of jon’s shoulders when he’a lazy, just like a bird
i also feel like damian is subconsciously clingy, nuzzling up to jon like a cat at times.
i also feel like after a mission damian gets all nervous and looks around like hes bracing for an attack and his teammates are confused as to whats wrong but suddenly theres a streak of blue and jon’s crashing into damian with a hug sending him feet across the ground. which damian was expecting the whole time
i headcanon that damian climbs through jon’s window and sneaks up to him to give him a kiss while jon pretends he didnt know cause that would ruin the fun
i headcanon for the span of like weeks damian and jon had this inside joke where damian would speak in arabic and jon would speak in kryptonese.
and thats putting aside the possibility theyll call each other pet names in those languages
headcanon damian as the little spoon
headcanon jon’s terrified of horror movies even though hes a superhero and damian can’t focus on movies because his eyes are always stuck on jon’s expressions
headcanon that damian will get art block but he can still draw jon for some reason
headcanon that damian does all the house work like sewing jon’s capes and helping him get dressed in the morning
headcanon that damian hates kissing jon first because the act of getting on his tippy toes is mortifying
imagine jon getting his cape put on with the help of damian and damian’s somewhat struggling to do it due to his height so jon spreads his legs apart like he’s doing the splits to meet his height
jon is still stuck in his crush phase and gawks at damian
jon says “damian deprived” unironically like its a condition
its canon that they watch anime together so its fun thinking of the type of stuff theyd watch
jon asks before he does anything “can i kiss you” “can i see you” “can i hug you” ugh, i love it so much
they love to cuddle, fish, nap or talk on the back of goliath for no reason just because it feels homey since it was the first few things they did when they met
thats a few

fuck it we ball im talking about my langue headcanons
(rbs and asks ok i love talking about this goober.. my mipy)
i think langue is an asshole towards people. they pretend not to be but they are. they have this "professional" character that theyre always playing where theyre perfect and flawless and an expert and most importantly theyre Better than everyone. and then as soon as something goes wrong they immediately crumble and suddenly theyre a sopping wet mess because they cant handle the idea of being imperfect
almost so many of their thoughts toward others (besides their parents maybe) are just nitpicks. Theyre constantly putting others down in their head (and sometimes to their face through backhanded compliments or just rude remarks) because they feel the need to be better than them. they need to feel Superior!!! they need to feel Better! because if they arent, who are they? what was the point of all of their hard work? what is the use of all of their constant effort if theyre just the same as everyone else? Of Course theyre better and everyone else sucks in comparison. theyre perfect. theyve worked so hard to be.
they want attention So Bad. they spent all their childhood sitting at reccess reading books or studying instead of going to their highschool prom and doing schoolwork during their familys camping trip and now Their whole life is work and success and they dont know anything else. they dont know how to make friends they dont know how to TALK TO PEOPLE!!! they only know how to argue ! they keep raising the bar for themself, setting higher and higher goals because surely once they hit a certain point theyll be famous and everyone will praise them and theyll have all the attention in the world and all their hard work will have paid off!!!! and then they Finally get that after taking rogueforts case theyre so POPULAR!!!! and then they get burnt out and their parents force them to go on vacation because theyre overworking themself to an unhealthy point L.
but theyve only known work all their life so they get to the island and theyre like. Huhhh.... whaat..... what do i do. how do i be productive here when im not allowed to work. (their ass does NOOT know how to relax)
i dont know how to fix them at this point they are sooo far gone its drilled into their head. Their parents didnt realize how unhealthy their mindset was until it was too late because at first they just seemed smart and passionate about learning but dear god they Cannot relax for the life of them and they dont know how to make relationships and they have such a big ego problem. people tell them to take a break and not overwork themself and theyre like Ummm thats quitter talk!!! only LOSERS are lazy like that! i didnt get this far by doing nothing! someone throw them into the trash compactor IMMEDIATEELELYYY

ok now that i caught up on a few asks (ill be back later!!) i got an awful awful omegaverse detail to share. i really like the omegaverse au rezero takes on here, yall have such interesting ideas. but okay i got one—
otto should be an alpha.
OKAY now hear me out for a second. i 1000% agree that otto being a beta makes absolute perfect sense. even though his personality is kinda loud sometimes, hes usually just kinda There. you know? hes always in the support role and he usually doesnt draw attention to himself. always stuck in the background and in the shadows 👍 he also wants a nice comfortable life. hes wanted to fit in throughout childhood. he takes care not to make others hate him (unless hes being impulsive/reckless). etc etc.
he knows that he fits the beta role to a T. thats why if he was anything BUT a beta, he’d be pretending to BE a beta.
this is because otto being an alpha exacerbates all the issues he develops by the time you get to arc 8. because otto is THE worst person to be an alpha. he doesnt fit the stereotype and the usual alpha at all. hes not very powerful. hes easy to make fun of and humiliate. hes not very dominant either. he tries to say all sorts of stuff in arc 8 and assert his place there and more than half the time he gets shrugged off because hes being dumb and no ones gonna do some of the shit he says. hes got a gazillion different complexes now about being useless and about being Secondary and he gets desperate so hes like “well i can walk in darkness though. im useful!! i swear!! this is what i can do!! everyone else is wrong!!”
so of course otto would pretend hes not an alpha because he is The complete opposite of what the “perfect” alpha should be. as hes growing up he would be like judged for that sort of thing, you know? and then he’d decide its more convenient to go on blockers or whatever and pretend to be a beta because betas are Normal. betas dont get noticed that much. not much is expected of you besides being the Support, right? depending on how you wanna interpret omegaverse politics wkdnd. and ottos like oh yeah. i wanna be seen as normal. and if i cant be a good alpha, if i cant be what an alpha should be, im gonna be a good alpha via playing the support role!! and theyll all know im dependable and useful and theyll need me and i can revel in the fact that they dont know im an alpha!! but im outplaying them!! i got them to need me!! my tactics have made ME the secret alpha controlling everything!! this is perfect!! im a good alpha!! i came out on top still!!! this is great!!
and then arc 8 comes along and it ruins everything and otto is back to being the absolute worst alpha of all time that everyone thinks is a beta anyway because hes 1. made this a self-fulfilling prophecy and 2. literally no one is gonna look at him and think “oh hes alpha material” after all this time. and after all his arc 8 shittery.
yeah so anyway then otto explodes with rage because his stupid alpha ass is like oughhhh ohhhhh ouhhhh my god im not in control anymore im not dependable anymore im not a good support anymore!!!!! no one takes me seriously!!!!! ill show them!!! ill show them all!!
also he probably thought of subaru as. as his omega. and subaru wouldnt even know because after all my good buddy pal otto is a beta 👍

(tw: negative thoughts)
===
The alarm bell rang and Grian knew it was going to be a bad day.
He had had the dream again, the one about flying high above the clouds before something changes, and he plummets to the ground. He’d kept dreaming as he hit the floor, pain a distant thing (shock, his sleep-brain reminds him, shock can make things hurt less).
On the floor, he was twisted up, broken and civilians gathered immediately. He can still hear the disgusted murmurs of them, see their pointed fingers and see their sneers.
“Someone put it out of its misery.”
Grian forces himself to turn off his alarm through the fog. His body feels tense, his wings are tensely held on his back. He doesn’t feel like moving at all, and barely manages to curl back up when his energy leaves him again. The wings on his back feel like a burden, their ugly state makes Grian want to go into hiding and not see another person. He was broken, trash that someone forgot to take to the curb.
Amidst dark thoughts and the blankets, Grian slips in and out of restless sleep. When he’s not asleep, he stares at the wall. He feels like a broken computer, repeating the same ideas over and over, feeling worse and worse as it gets harder to quiet the thoughts down.
“No one cares about you if you can’t help them,” his brain reminds him. “You're nobody if you're not Apollo. No one trusts you.  No one cares.”
He covers his head in the blankets, upset and angry at himself. “I'm useless, if I can't help people or make them safer, what's the point of it all? Why do anything at all?”
Pressure builds in his chest, something heavy and disgusting. “Im pathetic, worse than…”he hesitates as he realizes he can’t insert the name of his former nemesis, not after the past months. He lets the sentence linger.
Grian both wishes for and hates the idea of Scar or Mumbo noticing his lack of presence today. Maybe theyll realize how much of a burden he is to keep around. Will they realize it's better to drop him off at a random bus stop, send him back on his way to be dealt with by Pearl?
Mumbo would know. He left for a whole year and didn’t need him at all.
Grian surprises himself when tears burn through his eyes, forming fast enough that he doesn't process he's crying until he's struggling to catch his breath. It still hurts to remember that Mumbo did not trust him enough. Maybe he had been right to not trust him. Grian was an idiot, a fool who had to have his eyes pried open to actually see the reality of the world around him. The world was cruel, it hated him and it was right to-
Distantly, Grian hears some sort of sound behind his cries. It's only when a door is being opened that he realizes it was knocked.
“Grian?” Mumbo calls out cautiously. “Are you sleeping in?”
“Mm,” Grian hums noncommittally. Something must sound off to Mumbo, because he doesn’t retreat.
“Grian?”
“I’m fine,” Grian chokes out. “Give me a moment, I’ll- I’ll be back to-“
“Grian?” Mumbo closes the door and immediately steps further into the room, coming to kneel at his bed. “G, what’s wrong? Are you hurt?”
Grian frowns, face still hidden from Mumbo. He shakes his head emphatically so Mumbo can see his answer. His throat is swollen, he won't be able to talk like this.
“Are you sick?” Again Grian shakes his head. Mumbo pauses. Slowly, like a person approaching a wild animal, he asks. “Are you not feeling well?”
Grian doesn’t respond.
Mumbo waits for a long moment, before taking a deep breath.
“I can imagine what this might be about, mate, we should talk about-“ Mumbo says, and Grian curls up further into a ball. Mumbo pauses. 
Tense quiet fills the room. Grian tries to suppress a sniffle but doesn't succeed. He grips his arms, trying to hold himself together, at least while Mumbo sticks around.
Mumbo shifts, more of his weight pressing against the mattress.
“Y’know what usually makes me feel better on bad days?” He asks Grian. Something light touches the bed beside him. Grian hesitates to peek at it, but Mumbo tells him what it is. “Holding a friend’s hand.”
Grian tears up again at how considerate his friend is. Consideration even for someone as undeserving as himself. He pulls away the blankets, revealing himself in the process of taking Mumbo’s hand into his own. He doesn't look at Mumbo as he sniffles and silently cries. He's overwhelmed again.
Mumbo’s hand is warm and heavy. Grian holds his hand tightly, almost scared that Mumbo will disappear. Mumbo’s thumb caresses his own idly, his hold more loose, but still caring. Grian lays there, holding Mumbo’s hand tightly until the wave passes him, his head coming up for clear air after an indeterminate amount of time.
Grian slowly, almost cowardly, looks up to find Mumbo’s face, only to see that Mumbo is already looking at him. He looks saddened, but not angry. Grian isn't sure why he expected Mumbo to be angry. Mumbo was not an angry man by nature.
“I think it works a little,” Grian says, his voice a little stronger now. He squeezes Mumbo’s hand even tighter for a beat. Mumbo smiles and sighs through his nose.
“I'm glad,” Mumbo says. “Do you want to talk about it?”
Shame fills Grian’s mind as he shakes his head. Mumbo doesn't press further
“Then, Is there anything else I can do?” He asks sincerely. “I don't like seeing you like this, Grian, it hurts me.”
“Im sorry,” Grian apologizes quickly. “You don't have to stay-“
“No, that's not what I meant,” Mumbo cuts him off. “It's just… Grian you’re my best friend,mate, I don’t want you to ever feel bad. I… y’know I really care for you. You're one of the most important people I've had the luck of ever meeting, much less become friends with, yknow?”
The words almost fall on deaf ears, Grian’s brain twisting the words against him. How unlucky, Grian mentally corrects. He means how unlucky he is he's stuck with me.
Grian struggles to quiet his brain, something Mumbo likely notices in his face. He looks conflicted, almost lost as he leans closer to Grian.
“It’s true, you're my best friend,” Mumbo insists. Grian’s mouth twists, feeling himself tear up again.
In an impulsive moment, Grian lets go of Mumbo’s hand and throws his arm up, looking at Mumbo. Mumbo hesitates for only a second before climbing into the bed and wrapping his arm around Grian. With his weight against him, Grian suddenly feels like he can breathe.
He tucks his forehead against Mumbo’s neck, soaking in the warmth of his best friend's body. It warms him where he hadn't realized he had gotten cold, something human replacing the mess of tangled emotions in him. Grian presses his entire body into Mumbo’s, clinging onto him, feeling relief in every touch Mumbo easily offers.
Mumbo’s heartbeat is loud and clear, heavy and smooth. He presses closer, almost suffocating warmth in Mumbo’s embrace.
“I love you,” Mumbo whispers into his ear. It's not the first time he's said it at this point, but it's still rare to hear this soon. “You are so, so important to me. To scar too. He told me to check on you. Wouldnt tell me why.”
Grian nuzzles him, throwing a leg over Mumbo’s. He can feel Mumbo’s heartbeat through his neck, and he concentrates on it, closing his eyes. 
Scar knew he was feeling bad but hadn’t wanted to come in. Was Grian that much of a burden? Or was it that Scar knew Grian would more likely kick him out than let him close like he would Mumbo when he felt this terrible? Grian isn't sure. He feels himself starting to shake, his wings shifting and rustling. Mumbo reaches for them, but Grian pulls the betraying wings away, shaking his head. Mumbo relents, wrapping his arms tightly around his waist.
“Can we lay down like this for a while?” Grian chokes out through his guilt. “Or-“
“As long as you like,” Mumbo nods. “I don't mind.”
“…You're too nice,” Grian whispers. “I don’t deserve you, do I?”
“Grian…” Mumbo answers softly. “Don’t say that. You mean the world to me.”
It only makes Grian want to cringe more. It made him feel guilty. “You deserve someone as kind as you. Someone good.”
“You’re good,” Mumbo insists, hugging him tighter for emphasis. “Grian, you don’t understand how happy I am that you’re in my life, that you cared enough to keep looking for me after I left. It takes a good person to assume the best in others, even if we did nothing to deserve it.”
Grian frowns. “Still,” he tries to enlighten Mumbo. “That’s just the bare minimum of what you deserve, you should be with-”
“Stop it,” Mumbo’s hold loosened. “Stop talking about who deserves what. I love you. I don’t care about anybody else,” His hold shifts, one of Mumbo’s hands reaching into Grian’s hair as he pulls the avian against him. “Only you and Scar. I’m going to love you no matter what, Grian, stop trying to convince me not to!”
And Grain can’t help it. He tears up, feeling like a child. He whimpers and sobs and wipes his tears on Mumbo’s poor shirt, holding onto the shirt for his life. He’s so undeserving of this kindness, but he wants it so badly. Mumbo holds him through it, whispering little reassurances into his hair, gently combing it with his fingers. Intense and burning fondness for his friend rears its head in Grian, making him catch a sob in his throat as words spill through.
“I love you too,” Grian sobs into Mumbo’s neck. “I love you so much.”
“I know,” Mumbo kisses his hair. “I love you just as much.”
And to imagine this much  love and adoration flows through Mumbo like it does Grian breaks him a little inside. Mumbo deserves so much more. He deserves a nice set of partners, with a normal home and a normal kid. Or maybe it would still be Grumbot. But if this is the life he wants, all Grian can do is count his luck and love him back more.
Grian tilts his head up and kisses the underside of Mumbo’s jaw. Mumbo leans back, tilting his chin down to look at him. The angle gives him a bit of a double chin, which Grian eagerly obliges with another kiss. Mumbo smiles at him. Grian can’t quite replicate a smile on his own face now, but he leans up and gives Mumbo’s cheek a kiss. He kisses across Mumbo’s face until the two are forehead to forehead across Grian’s pillow.
“I don’t like my wings,” Grian says quietly. 
“Do you want to bleach them?” Mumbo asks.
Grian hesitates. “I’m not Apollo anymore.”
“You can still bleach them if that’s what you want, Grian,” Mumbo answers calmly, still playing with Grian’s hair, softly kneading Grian’s scalp in a way that makes him want to sigh dreamily.
“I don’t know,” Grian closes his eyes against the sensation on his scalp. It tingles pleasantly.
“Or we can dye them another color. Not white, but something different,” Mumbo suggests. “You’ll still be nice with any color of wings.”
“Pretty?” Grian asks, smiling a bit. He opens his eyes to see Mumbo roll his eyes.
“Yes, very pretty,” he corrects. “And very handsome, Grian.”
Grian smiles, leaning forward to press a kiss to Mumbo’s nose. Mumbo huffs.
“Can you stop missing already,” he says with mock annoyance. “I want to be kissed by my very pretty best friend.”
Grian smiles for a second, leaning in incrementally before the guilt makes him freeze. Mumbo closes the gap, pressing a kiss to his unmoving lips. Mumbo pulls back.
A few seconds pass before Mumbo leans up and kisses Grian’s nose. “It’s not just the wings, is it?”
Grian frowns, not meeting his eyes. Mumbo nods anyway. 
“We don’t have to talk about it now if you don’t want to. But Scar and I are here when you want to,” he reminds him. “We love you, you know.”
Grian sighs. “I know.”
“We love you a lot,” Mumbo nods, pressing his nose into his hair. “Do you want to cuddle until Scar misses us and comes looking?”
Grian rolls his eyes but tucks himself into Mumbo’s shoulder, closing his eyes. His dry eyes find relief in the darkness again, this time a lot less heavy than before. Before he knows it, he starts to fade into dreamless sleep.
—------
Grian wakes to hands combing through his wings, the sensation of a loose feather being pulled giving him relief. He finds himself laying on his stomach, warmly tucked against Mumbo’s heart. More than a pair of hands make their way through his wings, bringing him pleasant warmth. He spreads his wings further with a soft groan. Mumbo stiffens under him. Scar has the opposite reaction; he laughs delightfully. The sound is full of love, especially when it gets closer, and Scar presses a small kiss to the back of Grian’s neck. Grian tenses, feeling a warm wave wash down his spine from the feeling.
“Go back to sleep, birdie,” Scar coos. “We got you. We’ll take good care of you. We’re right here.”
And for the moment before Grian falls back asleep, Grian believes him and smiles.

Undertale and deltarune characters driving headcanons
Frisk(if they were 18):
Frisk would not be driving, they wouldnt get a permit, they dont find it useful
Chara(if they were 18):
Same as frisk they wouldn't try to get a permit because asriel has already one and theyll always ask asriel to get them somewhere
Kris(if they were 18):
Same as chara and frisk, the kfc gang relies on asriel to drive them somewhere
Toriel:
She canonically has a permit and drives
Has a family car, probably a Citroën....orrrrr a ford focus like my father,
She is a good driver but when she gets angry she tends to drive a little aggressively. If someone cuts her way she will honk them and curse at them
Asgore:
He wouldnt have a permit, doesnt like driving , he doesnt think that is necessary to have a permit, plus he doesnt have the money to buy a car
Asriel:
Since asriel is closer with toriel than he is with asgore, toriel encourages him to get a driving license, so he does, asriel never thought that would find driving fun and useful , sometimes he regrets getting the permit because of frisk chara and kris asking him to always drive them somewhere
Like almost all teenage boys he would probably be into sports car, im thinking about an audi gt (he likes that car but doesnt have the money to buy it so he drives toriel s car)
Sans:
My man s always tired, do you think that he can drive a car with such little energy
Sans would not have a permit
Papyrus:
I think that its canon the fact that papyrus can drive, you saw at the end of undertale pacifist route, he would drive a convertible audi, an audi A5 Cabriolet to be exact( just so yk i have no idea about cars i do drive i have a nice car , i like cars but i dont know any models so i. just google it )
Undyne:
She would have a permit, drives kind of chaotic, yet she never got her permit taken away, lucky her ig
She would probably drive a skoda, probably a skoda octavia
She loves to honk at everyone and everything
Alphys:
She would not have a driving permit, she doesnt want one plus she thinks its hard driving and she s afraid to try it
Mettaton:
Hohohoooo lemme tell you he would have a hot pink car,
Hmmmmm he would probably drive a mazda, im thinking about mazda miata orrrrr mazda rx 7
Napstablook(sorry if i spelled their name wrong):
If they were human they would not have a permit, doesnt want one
Muffet:
She would have a driving permit, what she would drive
Mazda miata for sure
She would probably put little fangs like this
Tumblr media
Grillby:
Yes he would have a driving permit, he owns a restaurant, needs to get errands done, probably would have a Peugeot boxer yk for when he buys the things he needs like , sodas or things like this yk, as for a normal car, wellll Peugeot 3008, likes suv cars
Alright now deltarune characters (lets ignore that i put kris into undertale characters)
Susie:
She d have a permit, drives kind of aggressive but drives pretty good, she would have a Renault austral
Ralsei:
You know the memes where ralsei drives a Mercedes-Benz.
Well he would have a permit and WOULD DRIVE A MERCEDES-BENZ , a Mercedes C class 2014??? I think
He d like a Mercedes-Benz 600, a clasic
Lancer:
He would not have a driving permit for car but rather for a motorcycle , a kawasaki ninja 650 abs
Seam:
They would have a driving permit, they would drive a Hyundai , a Hyundai Tucson the 2022 model? I guess, well they drive when necessary tho, like they dont drive all the time, seam s pretty calm behind the wheel, even if someone is dumb and makes a mistake , they wont curse they would honk to get the person attention but nothing more, they drive pretty carefull, sometimes they get over the speedlimit because they are so focused on the road they forget the fact that they re still accelerating
Rouxls kaard:
Rouxls would have a permit, what would he drive? Guess!!!
Ok.jkjk ill tell you
He would drive a rolls royce, rolls royce phantom
Flexes with his car
He s rich since he works for the king, and has a well payed job
The king of spades:
Yes ofc he would have , he s the king, he would also have a rolls royce, cause its a classic , he would have a rolls-royce cullinan mansory, hes the king , he s filthy rich
Jevil:
He would also have a permit, drives chaotic af, got his permit taken away so many times, the policeman know him.too well, sometimes they only give jevil a warning because they got sick of taking his permit away all the time
He would drive an audi A4, idk
The queen:
She doesn't drive, she likes being driven by others lol
Spamton:
Spamton would have a driving permit. When he was a big shot , he got the most expensive car he found , a Lamborghini aventador, after he lost all his money he got the car taken away from him ofc , and now he drives nothing
Swatch:
He would have a permit, he s the one driving the queen where ever she wants, he would drive her in a limousine,
A rolls royce phantom limo hire
Noelle:
She would not drive, to afraid to drive
Berdly:
He would have a permit, he would get a bmw series 5 because " all the cool boys get it" he toughts that if he had a cool car girls would like him

i hope we get an update on law and bepo in manga soon… i’ve read theories that bepo might take law to zou so they can lie low while law heals. i also hope that the rest of the heart pirates are ok, or at least penguin and shachi.. it might be an unpopular opinion in one piece fandom but i really don’t want law and bepo to join the straw hat crew or any other pirate crew. i want law to be captain of HIS pirate crew, the heart pirates, with bepo as his first mate and wife ofc. the heart pirates are law and bepo’s family. it just feels wrong for them to join another pirate crew :(
yeah nah all the "law is a honorary strawhat" and "laws crew is useless him and bepo should join sh" takes that happened after PH/DR are so fucking disrespectful and shit
law would like to know those people's locations
howd you claim to like the guy and say this. i can bitch about how much i hate this idea forever, itll never happen. law was VERY CLEAR that he is not there to make friendships and hated when he slipped up for a moment and got used to their routine (idc that its a gag, its still characterization to me)
ANYWAY most hated topic aside
i think idea of going back to zou is kind of too reasonable and logical for oda? i cant see him doing it. its gonna be some bullshit. But as long as they dont get separated and we get to see law and bepo together and he shows that bepo is actually valuable as the first mate/laws best friend - im fine.
i have a lot of worries about all the ways he can fuck it up and shaft bepo but im cautiously hopeful
the crew is fine (bepo said so❤️) theyll also save themselves or be saved by someone deus ex machina style. i don't worry abt it that much.
now what im hopeful for is that they can somehow contact law and bepo at some point because i dont hope for a quick reunion but a call woulda been nice...but its op so cant count on that mercy
i also hope we get to see them soon, everyone is dying to see them. i feel you anon

hype level for future mtg releases (this is genuine btw i cant sleep because my leg hurts so bad let me have this)
Murders at Karlov Manor (Q1 2024):
15%. i kinda get the vibes. theres some interesting things generally but im not sure this one is for me. i like clue tokens so im excited for some support in that area but. ill probably pass on buying any of this
Outlaws of Thunder Junction (Q2 2024):
like 35%? its cool! i like the west quite a lot, everyones excited for deadbeat dad oko. im just not expecting a ton and id love to be proven wrong! new planes are always fun and it would be a delight to fall in love with thunder junction but my expectations are very tempered. supposedly its about "villians"-- of which my biggest dream is a reveal of a phyrexian that wasnt killed onscreen to be hanging out there. rakdos would be cool too.
Modern Horizons 3 (Q2 2024)
90%. i cant wait frankly. modern horizons 1 and 2 feature some of my favorite magic cards ever and ive never been around for a modern horizons release so im just so excited. cant wait. big fan i bet there will be so many cool cards dude holy shit
Assassin's Creed (Q3 2024):
5%. i dont give a shit about assassins creed. i like the aesthetics of black flag i guess. this is a set with boosters and the cards will supposedly be modern legal(?) but they arent draftable so thats gonna be a shitshow when the boosters are overpriced and you cant even run limited events with them like MAT but like. at least MAT was awesome and had a bunch of banging cards and introduced cool deciduous mechanics to standard and gave us [[Rocco, Street Chef]]. all this is giving us is ezio or some shit
Bloomburrow (Q3 2024):
75%!! woo!!!!! i cant wait for the little animals set. i like little animals. i would really like one of them to wear a thimble
things i want specifically out of bloomburrow:
give us kwain lore! kwain is such an important little guy to our playgroup we would all love a new kwain or some kwain backstory and there has never been a better time for it
fox tribal 🥺🥺🥺🥺 boros please plzplzplz i need fire foxes i need evil foxes i need foxes so bad i want a fox tribal commander ill do anything
Duskmourn (Q3 2024):
45%. wrenny is hyped for this one but i dont think ill be biting tbh. its cool! i like the vibes :) just not for me is what it seems like right now. maybe like LCI the set design and mechanics will be so sick that its just awesome but the setting isnt catching me
Not gonna talk about innistrad remastered i will not be buying that. give me anime art tamiyo
"Tennis" 2025 (death race across multiple planes with cars):
15%. i like vehicles but like. i feel like this one will kinda skew corny in a way i wont vibe with. the technology seems like kind of a lot too. cool idea, i hope its executed well
"Ultimate" 2025 (Return to Tarkir):
65%! i like tarkir :) they wont print the stupid fetches but whatever. tarkir is super swag and i hope they can resolve the weird multiverse tarkir thing and give us a swag set i believe in them. also ugin reappearance maybe........
Final Fantasy 2025:
100%. i am so onboard with final fantasy dude i feel like it will be so fucking cool compared to like marvel or doctor who or whatever. final fantasy fits so perfectly with the other mtg planes and theres so many interesting things to pull from every game could be its own set so the fact that theres like so much shit there like its so exciting like i cant wait for this one. im gonna play final fantasy 6 with wrenny before it comes out so thats exciting too teehee ^_^
"Volleyball" 2025 (top down space opera set):
95%. a space opera could be so fucking cool. im worried theyll fumble the bag and make it really fucking star warsy and thats a truly terrifying thought but i have faith that we can get so see some more interesting and solemn parts of space in magic the gathering. i think a plane with fledgeling space operations and wild star littered frontiers would be so fucking sick and thats like maybe one of my dream sets. please dont fuck this one up
"Wrestling" 2025 (Lorwyn reimagining)
cool. i like what they did to kamigawa. um idk 30%
"Yachting" 2025 (Arcavios/strixhaven)
yippee!!! 55%? i like strixhaven but showing off more of arcavios is what im really super into here cuz i feel like that could be a lot of fun. its an interesting plane i wanna see more
um anyway ill try to sleep again now i guess

sometimes, if you tell someone you thought they had a van, theyll squint their eyes and nod a slow, solid, groovy yes at you
watch the mere concept of being a van owner wash over them, see the moment when they feel it get groovy, then you can see how groovy the idea of being a loser stoner with a van can elevate a loser stoner with an open mind and a sweaty cock
you cant just choose anyone, you need to find the right stinky loser, maybe she thinks the weed smell covers her hair odor and thinks that maybe the stinks combine into something boho-grunge-something she forgot that finishes the style combo shes going for. she sounds like a fuckin idiot right? wrong, that boho shit? many do it, but some do it so well, no one would dare utter the boho part. because its almost an insult, to her, she says she hated that word and what she made doesnt have some stupid appropriated foreign language all over it, i cant stand the twine, it get rougher and less stable every year i hate boohoo.
shes fucking perfect, this is what gets even the most experienced van-seeders: you have to check, double check, triple check, and im not kidding quadruple check, does she already own a van. just look around or ask her if she has any sick wheels. sick wheels is something you should only use if you need to make absolutely sure. most prime van stoner stock, will be delighted by such a cool, antiquated, and pleasant word to the tongue. And they may begin imagining cars that they'd imagine if you said sick wheels.
im so sorry, she does have a van, and she wants you to come inside the smell is more than you have ever experienced, youre not sure what it is besides weed, cigarettes, and just sex, just the smell of sex like a sweaty dick is cumming a fat load into an even sweatier pussy and now shes squirting
the smell is descriptive, you hop in and get the dicking of a lifetime, youll never forget her, you start brushing as a hobbby, then you get better, some van guys you made make for steady work. youre in demand. you finally buy that van, just because this is your life's blood. youre not better than them, why should you not embrace being 34 and let the van cradle you into your human years. its your van, itll be the best youve ever done. something generic, but something magical, someone who cheats at cards with arcane elementals and lies her way out of hell with a demon's cock ring in her palm. summons the demon, didnt have to be a cock ring, love her for that. ha, my wizard, god its coming together so well.
you finished it months ago and all your friends loved watching it come together, you take a trip, a good, solid, american highway road trip. youre at a taco bell where the people keep trying to do customer service at you, weird at a taco bell. "over there, haha" on that low, moss covered cliff. and you smell something familiar but thick and less clean somehow than even the dirtiest van bro youve had to smell in the shop. but you get, crazy horny, and you look at the wizard on your van. she appears behinid you, the rural white taco bell employee cant handle a category 12 wizard penis. it beaches onto the taco bell, kiling a senator who was only there for a photo op. yall start fuckin again, she says she felt her image, her visage being tugged from somewhere. You fall in love, she says shes 900 but she says when i was a kid a lot and usually shes going to like a mcdonalds before they removed the playplalces, so like 60, shes so hot for 60, i never thought id think of the age of 60 and want to fuck it so fucking much. and you do. at first your friends are upset at having to leave the van, but she kicks them out really aggressively and its kinda hot. theyre all weak willed stoner dudes, so you kind feel bad until you realize how its like the horniest you ever seen them. you all fuck all the way to some place called the mormon epicenter. which was honestly better than the san antonio pier thank god. you saw a demon kind in a thousand robes being offered children from every nation, and you have too ask at this point, why is this mormon, she says she said that as a joke which is extremely comforting since you like like 4 hours from salt lake.

Okay I could be entirely off mark when it comes to this but I need to share this anyways-
I just had this mental image of WoF Kuusuke just, worrying about his missing twin. Like, the Skywing Queen probably told him about her founding him, alone and abandoned. She probably told him that he was probably dumped in favor for a twin with more venom.
But he has access to maps. He has access to books on the various cultures of the other Dragon Races because to be an effective spy he would have to know this stuff. So he would know that no Rainwing would go that far to get rid of an unwanted child with no venom.
So that means his egg was stolen, and his missing twin is probably with their kidnappers.
Then he finally meets his twin. His twin who acts like he's never sun bathed before, and probably did. Who's grumpy and reserved and acts the opposite of attention grabbing, instead trying to hide. Who's with the Dragonets of Destiny, who also act atypical of their kind.
And Kuusuke is smart. He's smart and he's a spy. He knows how to read people.
And if that doesn't blare the alarm bells that his brother was abused, alongside his fellow Dragonets, I don't know what does.
below the cut cause its long and has spoilers for future parts of the fic
yeah kuusuke was sent on a long trip to study rainwings pretty early (with large threats should he fail to return to the sky kingdom) in order to let queen ake be more knowledgeable on a tribe shes just realizing shes lacking info on, and now that she has a rainwing under her care/command, she wants that info, and the knowledge of that venom...when he tould the queen about it in confusion, she placed easily that he must have been a rainwing twin and told him that explains why she found him abandoned, for he is venomless when he shouldnt be.
it took awhile for that to happen because kuusuke had to grow up, and until he learned that from spying on rainwings (with skywing guards also studying them, of course), him and the queen had no clue about rainwing venom. but once they did that idea is accurate
its quite fitting, considering he plays the role of a fireless skywing twin.
and so when the dragonets of destiny are discovered not too far away from the ravine he was found by, and theres a rainwing with them who has the same purple accenting patterns on his body as kuusuke when hes not disguised...kuusuke puts it together quickly, even if kusuo doesnt because kuusuke is disguised as a skywing and kusuo has no reason to believe this guard thats oddly fascinated with him isnt a skywing, let alone his supposedly dead twin
but yeah, none of the DoD act like their species...except for aren. hes prickly and prone to violence like many sandwings. the nightwing is anxious and cowardly. the mudwing cares far too much about other tribes. the seawing is scared to get her claws dirty in even the slightest manner. the rainwing is the second most violent member of the group, and falls asleep so often its obvious hes never had a sun time in his life. even the skywing queen realized that her best spy couldnt be left permanently sleep and provided him a few hours a day to sunbathe.
not to mention the fact that kusuo has been subsisting on the wrong diet his whole life (technically. but eating purely meat isnt good for rainwings, even if theyll live). again, even the skywing queen realized that she should probably let kuusuke eat what his diet requires if hes going to be in best shape
kuusuke actually decided to bring food personally to kusuo when the DoD were prisoners (much to the queens suspicion), and he was honestly downright sad that his probably maybe twin rainwing didn't even know what a watermelon was or how to eat it
love this ask. hit the mark for the au for the most part and i love talking about my aus. tysm for the ask!!
also rip kuusuke btw, he didnt get venom AND he didnt get animus magic, which is a genetic trait

ok admittedly i have no idea how the contracts etc. work but. with six west end switching to an 8 show schedule instead of 9 shows im wondering if that means theyll also switch to the uk tour system (which i believe is every principal gets a show off once a fortnight)? and im wondering if that means silver will be the main super swing costume and the black costume instead be used as a universal swing costume?
this is purely because i *think* they only have the one show off a week so that the principals are only doing 8 shows as is standard for most shows (i believe) as opposed to the full 9
idk its just been on my mind that the cover system might change since we found out that theyre switching to 8 show weeks. i could be wrong lol

why do i get my best ideas when my head hurts too much to write them down 😭😭
thinking abt this again btw
"Take care of everyone / Except for those that care for you / But it's fine, they don't mind / Cause they know you're a fuck"
poison's always known they'd die for something bigger than themself. when they started fighting in this revolution against the city, they swore that this was their end, their cause, this was what they would give their life to if it meant securing a future for the world free from bl/ind. take care of everyone. protect everyone. die for everyone. that's what they chose. now im thinking about the effects of that on their crew, specifically kobra.
like. he's part of a war, alongside almost everybody he knows, and this whole time he's sitting here watching his sibling destroy themself for it, convinced they have to die for this cause, this fight, he's watching poison give everything to something that will never give back, if they die here, they die, and that's enough for them but it's not enough for kobra. why should they give what little they have to this fight if there's no guarantee it'll pay off? im imagining him and poison getting into a fight abt it now and all i can think about is "what happens if you die for this and it doesn't end?"
because. well shit. what if you promised everything, gave everything, what if you pledged yourself until your last breath for this and it didn't work
first of all "why do i always get my best ideas when my head hurts too much to write them down" LITERALLY ME NEVER RELATED TO A SINGLE SENTENCE MORE THAT IS THE CENTRAL QUESTION THAT MY LIFE REVOLVES AROUND
anyways uh. kaz. QHY THE FUCK WOUDL YOU SAY THSI TO ME RN YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THE FUCKING FREIGHT TRAIN OF THOUGHTS THAT JUST CRASHES INTO MY BRAIN ONCE AGAIN UR A FUCKING GENIUS AND IM SCREAMING
fucking just. im thinking abt the city yk? im obsessed with the idea of party doing everything in their power to protect kobra from being labeled as the "problem child" by purposefully acting out, making bigger scenes whenever kovra does something "wrong", ripping the attention away from him so hell be safe from punishment. and now im thinking about kobra watching them do this for years and begging them to stop once he understands what theyre doing because why are you hurting yourself to "protect" me when i never asked for your protection in the first place
and then they get out to the zones and everythings better and everythings worse and they both fucking hate each other but at the same time they literally cant handle being apart for more than a few hours. and kobra feels smothered, like hes being controlled again and this time its worse because now hes being held back by the person he thought was always gonna try and save him. and he has to watch as their attention seemingly shifts; before at least when they were putting their everything into protecting kobra it was for kobra- someone who, despite his annoyance with it all, would at the end of the day understand why they did it and at least be grateful for the sentiment. back in the city they were fighting for someone they loved and who would always love them back, but now kobra has to watch them fucking kill themself in the name of this cause that couldnt give less of a shit about them! and maybe kobra feels betrayed because they went from protecting him from being controlled, to controlling him and wasting all the love that used to be for him to fighting for a future they both know theyll never live to see.
and of course they fight about this constantly. because kobra has no clue how to even begin verbalizing or explain all his feelings, and he is largely misinterpreting party as being "controlling" when they're still just trying to protect him. and party cant explain why they feel like this has to be their destiny, their purpose because god fucking dammit if they arent meant for this then they arent meant for anything at all-
and maybe the worst part is that kobra's kinda right. they die and nothing changes. a fucking DECADE passes and things only get worse. but also, maybe partys right because they all went in there, kobra included, ready to die to save their girlie, and she went on to finally break the world free. and even if she hadnt, they all still wouldve thought it worth it, all still wouldve marched in there and died like that anyways and i dont even know what im getting at here anymore. maybe the fact that kobra finally understands what party was getting at as he lays dying, just glad that shes getting out okay? but also mayabe the fact that the last thing he sees is partys corpse, and he probably dies just as angry as he is glad. because he fucking told them so and here they are anyways. after all the shit they put him through, everything they gave up, every sacrifice theyve ever made, they both still ended up dead in the fucking ground, in the city they both swore theyd never step foot in again
