4. Bonding!
They are discussing world domination.
Or lab designs. Or stylish eyebrows. Or Donnie is showing off his TECH tech, cause Drax wouldn’t understand human technology as much, and Drax is telling Donnie about his bio tech, maybe even how he made the Oozesquitoes- LITERALLY ANYTHING, THEY WOULD GET ALONG SO WELL IF THEY DIDN’T HATE EACHOTHER-
(More versions under cut!)

There's a scene in the first season of Babylon Berlin where a characters reads a lecture on psychoanalysis and PTSD (the series are set sometime between the two world wars) and the audience boos him.
"Brain is an organ, not a poetry book," they say.
For me it put into perspective how important was what Freud did. Considering the setting he had to work in, the setting he had to overcome in his own mind first, we really don't value the guy enough.
Not like I didn't *know* it, but it helped immensely to see it in context.
He was the first who said that humans have an inner life that's neither sacred nor purely physical. That it's governed by its own predictable rules and breaks in predictable ways, and that it can be mended through talking. Not being electrocuted or medicated out of the patient.
Just how awesome is that. Just how much inner work that required in his times.

Horus: im sorry, what did you sa-
Horse: since the high speaking doesnt get to you im gonna say it in a languaye your sorry ass can understand. See i am this family's LISTENER. While you were mad at your father for not listening to you EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE HIS FAVOURITE. I had the common decency to be there for my family because SOMEBODY has to. Trust me, getting horse plague does WONDERS for opening up people, once door came in while i was listening to marckus having his traumadump moment i fucking FORESAW him asking "brother are you alright" because WHAT ELSE HE SHOULD HAVE DONE
Horus: h- hang on just a second horse plagu-?
Horse: but you HAD to throw shit at the wall hoping it stuck, didnt you? Im closer to one of your brother's vehichles than to a human and yet even i can understand that sometimes its not the shit not being sticky enough but its the WALL. It never occurred to throw it at a tree, huh? No lets just keep hitting the white non stick walls with our excrement, because THATS gonna get us the attention that we need! No, listen. I was there for ALL OF MY FAMILY whenever they needed to. They brush and feed and heal me, and in exchange i listen to their daily problems. I live in this stable because i am a Fucking Horse. If you were in my situation, i bet you wouldnt settle for anything less than an entire COUNTRY where everyone is subject to you. Our Big D has reasons from hiding things from his sons. What the fuck makes you think you know better than your Big E, huh?
Horus: (crying in shame)
Magnus: wOAh. That was... heavy
Marckus: exactly man. I mean... who knew horse could talk!
Magnus: yeah I kn- wait wat

“In other words, you,” he looked at Big Brother, “were originally meant to be the one that takes metapowers which would explain your instinctual propensity to want to consume. However, you,” he looked at Yoichi now, “were going to be the one that gave metapowers. Although it’s obvious that the syndrome seems to have caused your brother to gain the giving ability, deep within you is a tiny bit of what would have been your full meta power! I already supposed that you have a meta factor, but my tests don’t lie: there’s an inert ability within you which…”
“Would explain my instinct to give…” Yoichi looked down at his palms like he had a week ago and instead of feeling betrayed by his brother taking the majority of his gift, he felt elated to finally understand why he couldn’t help himself but to bestow.
“Exactly! See, I’m thinking that you both were going to be capable of working together: one hand to give or take and the other two hands used to create a bridge between your powers! It would have been truly magnificent!”
Yoichi watched his brother contemplate the holes in his hands until their eyes met, and a strange feeling of acceptance and understanding flowed between them.
“Now, I am a doctor, so it would be prudent of me to at least offer you my colleague’s card. She’s been quite successful in providing therapy for metahumans, especially those with such strong instincts as yourselves…”
Yoichi and his brother just kept staring into each other’s eyes. The ramblings of therapy and mental health drowned out by the discovery of just how intertwined they were meant to be. No, how intertwined they are.
They never called the number on the card.
+++++++++++++
A part of a scene involving Doctor Garaki explaining to the twins his hypothesis on how they would have been if the Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome didn’t happen.
Just a tiny snippet of the AU fic I’m working on. It’s running away from me. Which is great!

Hey pssss have you ever thought about how Yasopp would react to Usopp being fine from the hollow ghosts? Like I'm imagining Perona somehow being at the party when the Red and Strawhat pirates meet and accidentally using the ghosts on Usopp and then Yasopp. And Usopp just shrugging it off with the same words as he did on Thrillerbark.
I do apologise for my midnight 🧠 brain
It's like 6 am and I doubt I can write a pretty coherent reply but this is an awesome idea and I love it. Bc both Yasopp and Sanji (yes I have to make it Sanuso shutupshutup) would be, like, extremely worried. Sanji bc he thought his boyfriend's self-deprecating thoughts were getting better and Yasopp bc, well, damn, my kid is fucking depressed. Even Perona would be worried 😭😭😭
