#I would kill a man for attempting this

[popsunner]

The most unrealistic thing in Batman isn’t that he won’t kill the Joker or that the incompetent police department can’t, it’s that some batshit crazy Gotham citizen hasn’t decided to take one for the team and shoot Joker themself

#that man would have so many attempts on his life #‘but joker is a great villain some random person can’t-‘ you’re wrong #enough anger and a lifetime in Gotham they can do anything #besides I think an eleven year old could kill him with a bbgun #Batman

[ghostcradle]

the funny thing is the protesters don't even really beat roman up. the ones he actively antagonizes after jumping the barrier shove him out of the way and i think one of them spits at him (or hits him in the eye) but most of the people there try to avoid him and two of them try to help him up after he falls but he shoves them off. it really was just roman curled in a ball on the ground hoping someone would kick him

#i really like the way they did it tbh #it could've easily been an Evil Mob Converging On Singular Man moment visually but what it was instead #was roman seeking violence from people he doesn't understand. and them not satisfying that desire #also i 100% think that was a suicide attempt on roman's part. he thought those people would kill him #maybe not consciously but i think he did want to get beaten to death a little bit #but those people are just people! and they don't care enough about roman to kill him! he's nothing to them he's not even a dog worth kickin #taqrir #succession

Kai: I CAN'T DO IT!

Lloyd, laughing: I CAN'T EITHER!

Kai: I CANT FUCKING DO IT ANYMORE

Jay: WELL I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, YOU CAN EITHER GIVE UP NOW, OR YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT. BECAUSE WE CERTAINLY CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU, AND WE KNOW YOU CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT US.

Kai:

Kai: I appreciate it,

Kai: BUT LOOK WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH-

Cole: Kai-

Kai: YOU GOTTA DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE!

Zane: Kai we gotta-

Kai: YOU GOTTA DRAW A FUCKING LINE IN THE SAND. YOU GOTTA MAKE A STATEMENT.

Kai: YOU GOTTA LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF AND SAY 'What am I willing to put up with today?'

Kai, motioning to Nya: NOT FUCKING THIS!

God I wish I could remember what Oda once said about mothers in One Piece... I can't remember if it was about Luffy's mother in particular or moms in general, but he essentially joked about how you'd have to be A Really Horrible Mother to allow your child to go off and become a pirate (dangerous business no loving mother would allow)

And just... My vague memory of that comment is living in my head right now, because truly, if Crocodile somehow is Luffy's mom, truly nothing would make him a worse mom than

Literally trying to murder his child and beating him to near death multiple times the first time they actually meet

Going so far to stop being a mom that he became a dad instead

#Moon posting #Honestly I can't help but to feel that if the theory is true I don't think Crocodile has any positive feelings about Luffy #Like I don't think he'd see Luffy as his child or. Anything #Like the vibe I get is that Luffy to him would be nothing more than something from a past life he wants nothing to do with #And a past version of himself he wants buried dead and forgotten #Like think about masculinity- both in general but also in the terms of OP's story #The way some cishet men react to the mere concept of Trans Croco and the way they're ready to dismiss him as a ''real man'' #Like. Fragile Masculinity makes it so that if you aren't performing your manliness at 1000% at all times you aren't manly #That's why it's fragile. It's all or nothing. And so if Crocodile was FtM many would see him as just the F. They'd just ignore the ''tM'' #Crocodile did not seem like he wanted to be associated with Iva-chan or any of the newkama AT ALL #If he is trans then he is fully stealth. He does not want to be outed. He does not want to have his manhood questioned. #His past could instantly be used to turn him into a laughing stock. He'd have to deal with transphobic attacks and misogyny #So if he just wants to live his life in peace then he could just see his past as a potential threat to his future #Anything about who he might've been could be used against him #That includes the husband he divorced. That includes the child he abandoned. #They aren't anything to Crocodile but something he wants nothing to do with. #And he's willing to go so far as to kill that child to tie up any loose ends #Which sounds horrible but he did attempt to kill millions with a massive bomb so like #Yeah. Sir Crocodile ain't winning Dad of the Year award anytime soon. He does not give a shit about his son. #Crocodile looked at Shinji Evangelion and figured he could have a worse father-son relationship. And he's winning that contest #Of course this reading is absolute bonkers and I doubt Oda could write a trans character with this kind of nuance #It just makes sense to me alright #And I have brainworms #And if I'm being realistic I only think there's a 30% chance the Crocodad theory is actually canon #Trans Croco in general get's a 70% because. You don't give this guy some Secret Beef with the Magic HRT Person like that #Again I just think it'd be fucking funny if he was Luffy's dad #It is 6 am I am not proof reading any of this shit

Wondering if Season 6 Tommy ever lies awake at night thinking in an unbreakable spiral loop:

I should’ve dumped those fucking guns I should’ve listened to Uncle Charlie I should’ve dumped those fucking guns I should’ve listened to Aunt Pol I should’ve dumped those fucking guns I should’ve dumped those fucking guns I should’ve dumped those fucking guns

#That’s where it all started #Why Campbell paid attention #how Churchill learned Tommy’s name #how he met Grace #In S2 there is not only The Chosen One/Campbell has chosen you; Tommy also asks Why Me #Why me becomes anger becomes why not becomes why fucking not becomes why #the rage in him right from the beginning #what those guns represent #the government enabling yet another shitty pointless war bw Libya-Italy they don’t even really care about #Looking at those guns thinking of all those soldiers dying and Tommy freshly back to England from war #they want them this bad they have to pay for them #should’ve dumped those fucking guns #And then they use him to start another war in Ireland and his attempt to prevent a war in russia nearly loses him his son and then he’s— #—trapped in a personal war in S4 with that crazy awesome urban war scene through the tenements only broken apart by civilian cops #s5 and s6 actual wwii #Personal and political all in one #man they really really shouldn’t have killed Freddie off I still think their scenes over time would have rivalled any Alfie-Tommy scenes #Freddie was so well positioned to straddle this and have a parallel descending arc into wilful anarchy where Tommy becomes uncomfortably #—representative of the status quo. Freddie doing anything it takes and stuff who suffers; Tommy doing anything it takes but pulling it all— #—into and onto himself in a personal way. Freddie outward Tommy inward

morgan(a) le fay? that’s a milady insp. right there (i hope dumas is rolling in his grave as i type this)

#yes bbc especially but i’m an irish lesbian so katie is my patron saint #BUT. forreal especially from anything that uses malory as a basis #i was thinking a lot earlier abt how - beyond the perspective we’re given in the novel #milady’s actual villainous behaviours didn’t start until AFTER athos tries to kill her #like up until then she really. she’s taken advantage of by a man who has higher standing than she #she steals and she runs sure but … lbr that’s not villain material #she doesn’t do anything that a self respecting person with survival instincts wouldn’t do #until after the hanging attempt #WHICH u know understandable i too would lose my shit at that cherry on top #i love arthurian legend n i know morgan’s character has been twisted and shaped so wildly different in every #interpretation and re-telling but the most common contemporary characterisation (ccc) of morgan #is biiiig. milady energy all i will say

[frozen-pyjak]

This is something I’ve been very curious about too! Pls feel free to say in the tags why

#I let him do it bc who am I to stand in the way of another mans quest for revenge #shep also kills kai leng in revenge for thane so I feel like a hypocrite lmao #also I sympathize with him since there is some fuckers that have wronged me so bad that I would attempt murder on sight lmao #mass effect #shakarian #garrus vakarian #mass effect legendary edition #mass effect 2 #commander shepard #polls

being a sherlock holmes canon fan sucks. what the fuck is "i have never loved, watson, but if i did and if the woman i loved met such a fate, i might act even as [that story's murderer] had done" and "by the lord, it is as well for you. if you had killed watson, you would not have got out of this room alive."

#sherlock holmes #acd canon #holmes/watson #what! is! that! sir! #he'd kill for watson! he'd literally kill for him! #i want a sherlock holmes adaptation where someone mortally wounds/tries to kill watson #(or even successfully kills him) #and holmes tracks them down and instead of his regular self-assured pride and calm turning over of the criminal to the police #he just kills them. he's funny like that! he doesn't really often obey the law! he obeys justice! #he lets a thief go because it's christmas and he doesn't feel the man's really a danger to society. #he lets a murderer go because the deed was justified. (that's where the first quote in this post comes from.) #he threatens to attack an abusive stepfather with a riding crop. #hell he threw moriarty off a cliff! because he knew the man was a menace! #i would love to see an adaptation where the murder/attempted murder of watson drives him to kill. #or attempt to kill. and then realize he no longer cares. i'd love to see what could get him to that point! #where's that 'fuck you *goes back to old fandoms*' post. feeling that pretty hard right now

#that was. #wow. #lacey is a worthy opponent #love her as a character but like i did not expect her to be that wicked strong #think that was my… fourth attempt? #sheesh that took a lot of strategizing on my part #absolute wildest thing is i had my hisuian zoroark in first #disguised as my corviknight. as sort of an afterthought #and that thing stayed in the game disguised as corviknight until *the very last round* #or in other words it was not so much as targeted by ANY of her pokémon almost the entire match #talk about accidental strategic genius. if you send in a bunch of other meh pokémon that the ai would rather target #somehow your little buddy can fire off a nasty plot and kill everything the entire match and no one even realizes it’s a zoroark #man even *I* forgot it was a zoroark. in the end it got killed by excadrill’s high horsepower #i was stuck there confused for a second like i thought it was immune??? and then i was like oooooh #wow that was wild. i spent too many resources on that fight #hooo man and according to an npc: ‘despite lacey’s type advantage she’s never been able to beat drayton!’ #dawg if fairies can’t kill that guy’s dragons and especially this chick’s fairies #what hope do i have #the sv dlc experience #sv dlc spoilers

I’m curious which war crimes you do and don’t approve of

i enjoy any war crime induced by rage, racking up a ton of kills, maiming every enemy combatant in sight. only shitheads kill in attempt to live up to the heroism of others

#thinking about malouf’s ransom specifically here lol #when he writes achilles’ having a vision of priam’s death at the hands of neoptolemus #with the attempt of avenging his father. but their is nothing to avenge. same with polyxena #in hecuba they have it be tbat achilles’ spirit comes before neoptolemus and tells him to kill her to return #but i could just be a euripides hater with the exception of his helen play but. that doesnt sit right with me #it is to appease the wind in the same way iphigenia was to appease the gods #it was bound to happen anyways. but it is upon achilles’ grave as neoptolemus again sees himself as avenging his father #it is an unsatisfying act. all that killing for the sake of achilles #sure u can be like. polyxena led him to the gates #but she didnt kill him that is paris and apollo #but paris is already dead so who is left for neoptolemus to target as his father’s avenger #it is a role without any use. it is pointless. #and when we see achilles in the odyssey he barely cares about the news of his own son beyond odysseus saying yeah he is chilling #it is more to lament his own suffering #i dont think achilles cares in the end about neoptolemus. he is just a boy like his father bred for war and desperate #for purpose and attachment #beyond that tho. i dont think achilles would approve of killing priam like that is the main thing #he is not above violence to the man. he threatens him in book 24. but in the end there is a respect there. for the grief and loss they share #malouf writes about the shame that follows neoptolemus after everything #and i think that is a far more poignant thing than disappointment from the father you barely know #to carry the weight of your actions knowing that your father would so differently #again achilles is a piece of shit and would do the same if not worse in his son’s place #but in his place toward priam he wouldnt. and neoptolemus reaps that destruction anyways #this is long winded the point is the shame rather than the actual disapproval of war crimes lol #i will say i dont think achilles’ rage and revenge is to the same level. he laments after patroclus died that it hurts more than he thought #because he would think losing a father or son to be more heartbreaking #but no it is the loss of the equal and confidant that hurts the most #but neoptolemus never knew his father. this isnt for his father’s personal sake it is for his legacy + where neoptolemus will end up with it #and therein lies the difference. they have that familial bond but no real connection #ask

Grian is such an infectious youtuber. Like i have been fucking missing this form youtubers. The absolute joy he radiates as a red name and how i feel it too?? Every second leading up to him killing Ren i was just going “yes yes stalactite  stalactite“ and when it happened it’s an EXPLOSION of euphoria from both sides

#Like the chances he would ever get a kill with a stalactite were so low #he didn't even attempt it at the siege of the velvet keep #but still there was no doubt as i watched him set up the trap #The main reason i haven't watched his pov of last life yet is that the youtuber i watched play it was so lifeless #I haven't seen hermitcraft yet but GOD do i want more of this gremlin man's laugh #dont touch me ive been riding the euphoria for days and will rewatch double life for the 5th time #dlsmp #double life #double life session 5 #double life session 5 spoilers #grian #dlsmp grian #double life grian #hermitcraft #trafficblr

So, my neverending habit of having crushes on imaginary characters, I now have a slight liking of a character I hate just so fucking much.

Abijah Fowler from Blue Eye Samurai

[todayisafridaynight]

You know, I am perhaps morbidly curious about what a fall like that would've done to Mine. Because I've seen a ballistics dummy (whose joints were admittedly not reinforced in true-to-life fashion) fall from twenty feet and its entire arm and lower legs just... came off... and the impact exerted "38,000 pounds of pressure" on its head. But I'm also aware of cases where the body was almost pristine, at least to the naked eye. But also... Nay, I shan't say.

In the case of his survival though, I do completely agree with anon--discounting injuries to the head and chest, the most common less-lethal injuries are to the spine, pelvis, and limbs. So there must be lasting damage aside from the bullet wounds. As such, Mine with a Sick-Ass Wheelchair has been a favorite of mine for years. RGG's universe is a bit more advanced than ours medically and technologically, too, so I'm also partial to cyborg Mine.

I honestly don't care (just kidding I do) as long as he survived lol, whatever explanation they come up with I'll accept blindly. But I do think it would be funny for Mine to end up in a coma for years while he Went And Did All That because Daigo was in a coma for a week.

i've been morbidly curious myself about the survivability of falls from X heights and it definitely is possible to survive even things like skydiving gone wrong, so it's not out of the realm of possibility of mine to walk away (or. not walk away depending on the injury) relatively fine

#snap chats #theres been a case where a woman didnt even need surgery and was able to naturally recover after a few weeks #tho tbf she fell in sand opposed to. concrete #but can we argue mine used andre as a sandbag to catch his fall..... guaranteed kill on him too.. #i too will accept whatever bullshit reason rgg cooks up in the even that mine is alive #I ALSO HOPE THAT IF HE DID SURVIVE HE WAS COMATOSE THO. JUST BECAUSE THAT'D BE GROSSLY IRONIC #its like you said Man Goes Into Decade-Long Coma After Going Insane After '''''Friend''''' Enters Week-Long Coma #cyborg mine would be sicko tho.. if we can give ryuji a gun arm then yeah ill take cyborg mine #then i get to draw robot parts.. thatd be so fun to do again.. #i'd take mine in a chair though. they didn't commit with masato so i'd be more than happy to see a committed attempt with mine

[beholdthemem]

I remember as a kid, Gingivere having genuine concern and affection towards Verdauga- which did actually seem to be somewhat returned? In our first introduction to him, he reprimands Tsarmina for snapping at her brother, before gently-but-firmly reprimanding Gingivere for not fighting his own battles- was my first exposure to the idea that someone could be both a loving parent, yet a bad person.

I was so used to the bad guys I found in fiction being like. Either Ozai level abusive parents, to sort of cement that 'They're so callous that they don't treat their own children any better than the other people they hurt!'- or bad guys that SEEMED really awful until we saw that they loved their kids to indicate 'See, they aren't so bad, there's some good in them after all!'

And then there was Verdauga.

Verdauga was not a good guy. Before we actually meet him, we see what his rule over the country has done to the people there. Poverty abounds. There's little to no food for the citizens living near Kotir, and we know that's not because there was never any to begin with- no matter how many mouths you have to feed, whatever you can harvest is to go to the castle. Anybody who objects is either killed or imprisoned. When we meet Ben and Goody, they're trying to decide whether or not to risk freezing to death trying to escape- what ends up being the deciding factor is that their young children will have to start working in the fields at Kotir if they don't. That's how life IS under the wildcats.

And then we meet Verdauga- old, ill, nearing the end of his life but no less violent for it- and watch how he interacts with his children. He doesn't insult them. He doesn't demean them. He treats them... with a certain amount of respect. He's in charge, but doesn't rub that in their faces unnecessarily, only exerting authority to make a point. He's not overtly sentimental, but we can see that to a certain extent he cares about them.

That was a new concept, and I still remember being fascinated by the implications.

#redwall #like for gingivere to be that torn up when verduaga dies the old man had to have put some effort into the fatherhood thing #idk what his relationship with tsarmina was like- like she had no problem helping him into the grave but at the same time- #i don't think she HATED him? she saw him as an obstacle to power definitely but it didn't seem... personal exactly. #she seemed to find him more annoying than anything else. and... verduaga knew that i think and didn't particularly resent her #for it. like if he'd known for certain it was her that was getting him killed he'd be angry/violent- but i think #in the same way he would if it were anyone else. it wouldn't be a super personal betrayal. i think he and tsarmina are just. #built the same way. and he recognizes that. they think in the same patterns and have similar emotional attachments/lack thereof. he wouldn' #be emotionally betrayed by what tsarmina did to him because in her shoes he'd have done the same. it's just logical. #but gingivere... y'know what i think maybe he wasn't expecting gingivere to be the way he is. and when his son- despite attempts #to teach him otherwise- turned out to be gentle verduaga wasn't sure what to do with that. he understands tsarmina. #tsarmina's like him just 2 degrees more ruthless. gingivere... verduaga had no clue how to understand gingivere. he doesn't have the #ruthlessness gene. and rather than exploit that because gingivere was HIS he tried to protect him and maybe hoped he'd grow out of it #because in his experience gentleness is not a GOOD thing. it's something that can be crushed. he doesn't want to do that to gingivere but h #also knows he won't be around forever and that other people absolutely will- especially tsarmina. because gingivere is NOT tsarmina's son #and therefore she has no reason not to do The Logical Thing. 'stand up for yourself im not going to be here much longer and i need to know #that when im not you have some chance of survival'. he loves gingivere because he doesn't understand him at all and he can't HELP loving hi #for that.
