if you reeeeeally think about it, leon wasn't a cop. like. he didn't even start his first day on the job. he was too busy trying to not die.

i mean, sure, he did the training and all that, but did he even get to work at his desk??? did he even put on the uniform??? i didn't think so.

#thank you umbrella #your irresponsibility and unethical actions saved leon #not in the physical sense but ykwim #(i am desperately grasping at straws to prove my babygirl wasn't a cop) #(he doesn't deserve to be subjected to such slander) #sure humanity was destroyed in the process #but leon never got to be a cop #which i think trumps all cons #he may be irreversibly traumatised #and works for the government under extreme duress #but he wasn't a cop!! #leon kennedy #leon s kennedy #leon scott kennedy #resident evil #resident evil 2

in terror, four lieutenants; in t3m, four musketeers. Conclusion?

conclusion - same as always: destiny.

but wait oh christ okay. they even kinda fit...

you've got the og trio of

Wet Pathetic Loser

Deeply Religious Guy

Fancy Lad

which ig would make dundy... d'artagnan?? no. no oh god ok. listen. d'artagnan is jopson im afraid:

1. has a deeply homoerotic father/son relationship with a suicidal alcoholic

2. is actually kinda obsessed with him tbh

3. doesn't really start out as One Of Them, has to wait quite some time to get promoted

4. big part of the fandom actually ships him with little aka our athos

it makes sense you gotta believe me it does it does

#it absolutely doesn't #idk who dundy could be tbh... #ig if you squinted reeeeeally hard you could make him into a quasi mordaunt #since little is our athos equivalent #(that should honestly be crozier but for the sake of making our three musketeers/three lieutenants parallel lets go with little) #and the way little and dundy end up... look dundy is the only surviving officer of erebus. #gore and fitzjames die because life sucks but fairholme's death is arguably crozier's fault #and since in this strange parallel world athos is apparently split into crozier and little... #and since a very popular fandom headcanon is that little is the one to ultimately kill dundy.... #i have no idea where im going with this and with all my love to irving #imagining him as an aramis equivalent made me throw up in my mouth a little. #i guess aramis would have to be an insane combination of irving and hickey?? so ig he should kill uhh himself? shit omg wait #he does have a SA in the books..... #oh yeah it's all coming together #(<-lies. this makes no fucking sense) #pizza you've sent my mind into a spiral of eternal damnation im grasping at straws to make some ✨parallels✨ #unfortunately im like a vampire in this case. #if you throw at me a bunch of potential parallels i cannot move a muscle until ive found counted and picked them all up #i hate it here #im not even tagging it this post is fucking shameful pathetic and desperate #and yeah hodgson is porthos im afraid deal with that #ask

as dusk falls, interior night / homosexuality in "dog day afternoon" (1975) : televisual surfaces and a "natural" man, christopher r. brown

#hi. guess who finally watched dog day afternoon aka one of the biggest pieces of inspiration int. night used for adf!!! #when i tell you this shit is HEAVILY INSPIRED i mean it. like caroline wasn't kidding the whole game is practically a love letter @ the film #and it became increasingly obvious that tyler was pretty much formatted off of sonny the main bank robber ... insane #from things like desperately grasping at straws to fix this situation and win ( aka the helicopter ) to the panicked lashing out #to the FUCK THE SNOW! ( smth jay echoes at tyler like oh you hate the snow ) ... like i??? #anyway they're also alike physically hence this post. the wide eyes and rather pink pouty lip look which DOES portrayal an innocence #so tada #i saw this part and gasped btw im like YES. LITERALLY. BIG SORROWFUL EYES #the amount of jokes ive made like oh tyler is always so wide eyed abt everything! ha ha #and then this hit me like a train. anyway! watch dog day afternoon amazing film and the adf themes is all over it a little #as dusk falls #tyler holt

Red/Blu Pyro Headcanons!!

To see my lil doodle featuring what I personally believe Pyro looks like under the mask go here pls!!

Red Pyro

Pyro doesn't really try to be mysterious. He just likes the anonyminity and is a little self conscious about her looks. The other mercs are skeeved out by him bc they've NEVER seen her face and have never seen him shower or use the latrine at night. That's bc she's Scary Good at moving around without being detected while unencumbered.

The first person he ever showed her face to is Engie, because he never questioned her motives or showed any fear while interacting with him and treated her like a trusted comrade, with all the friendly back-slaps and fistbumps that came with it. Of course, it was spurred by a conversation where Pyro was teasing Engineer about being scared of him while getting in his personal space, but when Engie reiterated, "No, son, I ain't scared," that's when the mask was peeled off and Dell was met with a yellowed grin and two haggard but gentle brown eyes. "How about now," Pyro signed with her free hand.

Binds with gauze sometimes to aid with the body dysmorphia and the "running-around-in-the-blistering-desert-wearing-an-asbestos-lined-suit" situation but started doing it less and less because Medic threatened to slice off his tits if she kept binding that tight. He's running out of salve and painkillers. Stop making his job harder.

Pyro is very vocal when wearing the mask but when he's not, she's selectively mute and speaks almost exclusively in SL aside from small grunts and vocalizations that are too specific to emulate with signing. (Audible frustration/sarcasam, sobbing, laughter)

Pyroland is less of a "delusion" and more like an inappropriately-timed daydream. Pyro knows what his job is and she is damn good at it, but an active battlefield doesn't really give you any time for escapist fantasies soooooo why not combine the two? it's not healthy or viable long-term but nobody's gonna intervene if the other team's good n crispy right?

Sweaty. All the time. Doesn't matter the time of day or the temperature outside. She smells like sweat, his hugs are slightly damp, and her skin sticks with the person he's touching. This is actually a very pleasant experience.

Uses novelty weapons like the Gas Passer and the Thermal Thruster because they're just so damn FUN. Favorite taunt is Gas Blast, you can probably tell why.

Blu Pyro

He's not nearly as vocal, not even while wearing the mask, she communicates almost exculsively in SL. His demeanor is a lot more docile and shy in social situations, but is arguably even more spine-chilling in combat because she doesn't always laugh maniacally when roasting the opposing team, but rather tilts his head in curious, almost childlike fascination.

The other Blu mercs are a little less scared of him than the Red team are of their Pyro because of her gentler nature, but it's still freaky to wake up in the middle of the night for a glass of water only to be met with your Pyro standing in the hallway in his full gear, staring, unmoving, at a wall...

Is also Very Sweaty but instead of smelling and feeling like a warm sweaty body he feels clammy and ill. Nobody's fond of bunking with her because it feels like sleeping next to a corpse. which is double unfortunate because he's a cuddle bug

He LOVES drawing. She'd dip her fingers in blood and draw on concrete if he had no other viable surface. Blu HQ's walls are COVERED in Pyro doodles. some of them drawn in blood The subjects of her drawings usually consist of her coworkers, houses on fire, Ms. Pauling, houses on fire, cats wearing silly hats, did I mention houses on fire? One time, he drew the entire base in flames, so her drawing materials were confiscated for a week. Which ended in the base being set on fire because he had nothing constructive to do.

Absolutely devoted to the stock Flame Thrower. When questioned about it, Pyro signs matter-of-factly, "Fire makes bad things disappear."

She gets injured. A lot. Like, a lot a lot. Not enough for a respawn, but he has shown up at the Medic's office with a butterfly knife stuck firmly in the back of her skull, a fire axe stuck in his spine, and her leg blown off from a rocket. It's become sort of a game among the others to bet on how he'll end up mangled on the battlefield. Their Medic doesn't find it very funny.

Very clingy and protective of the mercs she thinks are the 'smartest' like Engie, Spy, Medic, etc. He seems to value intelligence very highly due to her own perceived lack of it.

#team fortress 2 #tf2 #tf2 pyro #tf2 headcanons #tf2 imagines #im alternating between he/she bc im grasping at straws and considering scout's line in the captions of 'meet the pyro' #which is 'he's not here is she' to be canon bc i so so desperately want he/him she/her butch pyro pleaaaaase

[enderwalking]

having a fit of despair over the way cdream probably hated himself so terribly for getting to the point where he allowed his closest friends to think that he doesn't care about them but then immediately turned around and insisted that it was intentional, that it's fewer attachments to worry about, far better that they're against him than to be dragged down with him, far easier to become the monster everyone thinks he is it if even the ones who once loved him most believe it. because it'll all be worth it in the end, of course.

Trying my darnedest to not reblog anyone’s post from 19 years ago just to be careful bc idk how that’s taken on tumblr as opposed to other social media but I did tell Tumblr to not do ANY algorithm things (e.g. recommend me things based on my likes) ALSO just to be safe so that’s 90% of what gets recommended to me and the other 10% is it throwing darts in the dark.

#My algorithm is grasping so hard for straws #I’ve never seen a social media get desperate like this #I gotta turn something back on idk why Im surprised #Algorithm #Lorelei’s yelling into the void again
