#also terrifying murderer

[ragnarlothcat]

Wet cat Vader >>>>>>>>> literally anything else

What a wet cat of a man!!! No one has ever been nice to him in his entire life (not since his mom, poor baby) and he just wants a hug and Obi-Wan's undivided attention.

I think this is giving the impression that my Vader is an idiot and he's not, really, he's just sheltered and a bit naive. He's still very good at a lot of things but desperate for any positive reinforcement whatsoever. I feel like regular Anakin has a bad enough praise kink, but this poor guy???

Prompt:

Damian isn’t happy about father’s rule not to hurt the gaggle of false kids he has acquired. How is he supposed to prove to him that he is the only one worthy of the title of heir now?

But fine. Most of them are stupid enough they’ll end up dead sooner or later. Damian just has to play the long game. Establish himself as the only constant.

But then father’s wayward son, Todd, comes home… and it’s so much worse than Damian expected.

He remembers this man. Remembers him from hushed whispers in the League, from mother’s creased eyebrow, and training halls drenched with blood.

And he’ll take one look at Damian and know. Know that he’s a threat to his position.

And the worst thing: Damian isn’t allowed to defend himself.

#Jason has no idea why the baby demon seems to be terrified of him #it’s kinda funny #all he’ll have to do is say boo and the kid very nearly faints on him #it’s less funny when they happen to be the only ones locked in a cell and Damian expects him to murder him in the most brutal fashion #like dang he thought Bruce really had a better opinion of him nowadays #also pls stop trying to stab me baby bat #misunderstandings #miscommunication #Jason doesn’t know what’s wrong with the new Robin but apparently he’s been tasked to keep him alive #and he’s making that friggin hard #jason todd #batfamily #dick grayson #bruce wayne #batfam #robin #red hood #tim drake #batman #prompts #Damian wayne #Damian al ghul #Nightwing #red robin #batdad #Jason and Damian

Good morning what are the movies or tv shows that traumatized you as a kid mine are the BBC production of A Christmas Carol and a handful of David Suchet Poirot episodes

#my dad always thought if something was well done it was appropriate for children #so we never watched the silly little kid version of things. The muppet Christmas Carol? My dad would N E V E R #anyway a Christmas Carol ruined Christmas for me for YEARS #i hated to think about it #and poirot was just. traumatizing #there’s one called murder on the links which involved a golf course at night which is one of the most terrifying locations I can imagine #also there’s one called death in the clouds #and poirot uncovers the murder because there are two spoons on the dead lady’s tray of airplane food #and the way he says ‘he picks up a spoon giving him the task of a waiter to carry out’ #when explaining the murder at the end to this DAY sends chills up my spine #I know this is very obvious but the thing about fear is that it isn’t about logic or reason but it is about revelation #it’s like the flip side of moments of good and happy insight #at least for me #what terrifies me is a moment where some kind of evil is revealed in a blinding FLASH #a motive or (I guess) a ghost #and there is this presence of some malevolent entity underneath the reality of things #and something about it being SEEN almost more than it existing #is so scary. Like I. #Poirot uncovering the murder and describing it with such studied fascinated careful attention #pulling back the layers of a blind of one kind or another #shakes me to. my. CORE. #and it’s all so visual and instinctive. it’s one tiny little moment that doesn’t fit suddenly pulling back the curtain of reality #with such terrifying abruptness #makes me want to sit down and cry like a baby #the knowledge of evil doesn’t scare me. as in it doesn’t elicit an emotional/physical reaction of fear #but seeing it in embodied action. again. where it’s some tiny ordinary little detail suddenly ripping reality as you know it to shreds #the surprise of it. the recalibration it demands #I !!!!!!!!! Get so afraid

controversial opinion but inej ghafa is literally terrifying and (obviously) such a queen.

like she literally held a stadwatch guard at knifepoint after creeping up on him and whispered (I don’t remember the exact quote) “I like it when men beg, but nows not the time” like??? Queen?????

And the end of the crooked kingdom where she cuts pekka rollins after threatening him, and switched alby’s toy lion with a crow?? Fucking terrifying?????

My love for inej knows no bounds and she is undeniably a powerful and scary woman

#idk if this has been said before #leigh bardugo #inej ghafa #she’s fucking terrifying #and I love it #it honestly makes her such a good character #i understand why my homeboy kazzle loves her so much #I love her your honor #pekka Rollins shat his pants so much tho it was fucking hilarious #“I like it when men beg’’??? #queen #six of crows #grishaverse #also unrelated but her determination is so admirable #climbing a fucking incenirator isn’t for the weak #did I spell incenirator right probably not #inej ghafa appreciation post #she could stab me/murder me and I would say thank you #agskajshajah my queen

One of the many Wolf 359 script directions that is Important To Me is this bit from Ep15 What's Up, Doc?, which comes after Hilbert has been threatening to tell Minkowski how Eiffel ended up on the Hephaestus:

#Wolf 359 #w359 #I do think script directions like this are perfectly reflected in the actors' performances #and also think they are very worth reading #He says he just needs her to drop it *right now* #which gives an opening to bring it up again another time #but we don't have any evidence that she ever tried to ask him again #In my opinion 'I didn't murder anyone' is not a very reassuring defence #because if that's the only defence he can give #it arguably implies that what he did is just a level of awfulness below that #But Minkowski accepts that defence as all she needs to know #She has full confidence in him #a blank cheque of trust #No wonder he didn't want to tell her #(He didn't want to lose that trust) #No wonder it was so devastating for Minkowski to find out the truth #(The idea that her trust might have been misplaced terrifies her) #Also Eiffel is surprised that Minkowski doesn't push it #He's taken aback by how easily she trusts him #He doesn't expect people to trust him #and just take his word for it that they don't need to discuss his past #He's expecting to need to argue #He's preparing to try to justify his secrecy further #But he doesn't need to #She just trusts him immediately #Eiffel & Minkowski #the empty man posteth #Doug Eiffel #Renée Minkowski #w359 spoilers

I know you dont care about pesterquest but i wanna know, did you think they wrote eridan well or bad?

bad

#why would he care about shrek hes a hipster #also he cant just casually waltz into a movie theater hed scare the shit out of everyone there #like everyone else on alternia automatically assumes a sea dweller is going to want to kill you #eridans never done anything casually before in his life #even GAMZEE's internal narration goes 'better not stand on the beach for too long #if a sea dweller sees me theyll attack lol' #i know hes been memed to hell and back because hes a pathetic little meow meow but like #objectively eridan was fucking terrifying by alternian standards #even if he isn't actually like that inside he still LOOKED and ACTED the part #and also he did do all those murders yeah #like so many murders #like 'killin is all i evver done practically' levels of murders #vriska says her bodycount is in the 'many thousands' so eridan's deffo up there too #hes like objectively dangerous and scary #and the fact that the team forgot about this when it came to dealing with him pretty famously had disastrous results #anyway heres my eridancore movie rec: Once (2007) #i know 'hipster actually likes mainstream stuff' is a Trope and theres truth to it but like look at me in the eyes #do you really mean to tell me eridan “wizard and magic are stupid and fake but i have 6 wizard statues in my room” ampora #is going to be the hipster that admits that he likes mainstream stuff

i need to wynnepost. somebody has to

#its crazy how people will assume she is all the tropes she subverts and then ignore her #also how sympathy for circle mages’ indoctrination only lasts until they get old i guess and then fuck them #because its not as if they were ever a terrified child who’d never had anything better than a single templar’s mildest kindness and any kind #of home even if it was the tower #so an orphan kid who had no memory of anything but scurrying between farmsteads and hiding in barns #didnt want to leave. what a shock. you guys dont get the place comfort has in keeping circle mages complicit #so it’s violent and terrible and you never have privacy and your children get murdered and you’re always watched and hated #its also a warm bed and community and a chance to succeed #do you honestly think every kid from fucking THEDAS knows theres anything better out there #that doesnt make the circle good. it makes it horrific that they prey on vulnerable kids to teach them the world hates them #and only the circle is ‘safe’ #i just think there should be some sympathy for those kids and what they grow up into #its easy for the player to walk in and say their character would hate the circle and never have listened to the templars #its easy for say an amell or even a surana with a family back home to not fear what they left behind #wynne genuinely thinks without the circle mages would all be murdered and she’ll fight and die protecting her fellow mages #from the right of annulment #yes its a flaw that she goes on to teach others the circle must be tolerated and that is precisely how the circle is perpetuated ove #over generations #but its amazing to me to just act like its her fault #well. this is more tags than i expected it to be

Wild: oh, no, i can't kill you. but my buddy can! Say hi, buddy!

Aro culture is watching My little pony as a kid because it was a cartoon that focused more on platonic relationships and rarely on romantic ones

#Anonymous #aro culture is #aro #aromantic #actually aro #actually aromantic #ask #mod alexander #as the youngest sibling i did not have 'choices' in what we watched lol #be it twilight / anastasia (which scared the fuck out of me) or spongebob and tom and jerry #also my parents watched a LOT of like. CSI type of shit and uh. as someone who struggles with hyperempathy that was. bad. #pro tip for parents! if your kid regularly expresses that even though they know the murder shit is fake it's still scary #consider either watching it away from them or like. at least letting them not have to watch it??? #(i'm not bitter at all about the like... year or two i spent perpetually terrified i'd encounter a partially decomposed corpse in every #enclosed space we saw. not at *all* /sarcasm)

Henry talking about puppet Charlie Inside of lefty

#He loves his daughter but he's also terrified of her #Charlie's killed like a lot of people... To be fair all of them were associated with fasbear which she thought made them instantly guilty #But that's still murder #That isn't even mentioning all of the arson... And other crimes she committed well with Michael on the road #fnaf #charlie emily #henry emily

Thinking about the incubus one shot you did a few years back and now I'm just imagining a series of unexplained deaths hitting the town, and the deaths have seemingly no correlation save for the fact that the victims all bullied Dipper at one point or another, and eventually figuring out that the incubus that would later try and seduce Bill disguised as Dipper used that same trick to suck the life force out of all the victims, and it worked every time because the ones who picked on Dipper the hardest were actually crushing on him 100%. It gets hairy because only one person survived their incubus encounter, and because the incubus was disguised as Dipper, they accuse him of being some kind of killer and the town gets suspicious of him and so Bill and Dipper have to clear his name. I hope that makes sense 😭

#answers #This premise also works with any sort of shape changing thing taking Dipper's form and going to town as it were #Dipper would obviously want to clear his name #He already has enough trouble in his life without being hunted down for devouring souls #He has truth on his side so that's helpful! I figure doppelgangers/shapeshifters are a Known Factor in this world #That should buy him some reasonable doubt and enough time to get to the bottom of the murders #The hard part is convincing Bill to offer like. Any assistance at all #C'mon kid what's wrong with cultivating an aura of fear? #Who doesn't want their enemies terrified of being devoured messily or dismembered #Someone accuses Dipper of being a vicious killer and Bill just sighs wistfully in the background #Oh if only 😔 Don't get him wrong he adores his mortal #But would it kill a guy TO kill some guys just for the hell of it sometimes??

“I used to be a marine”, he says, before he can think better of it. And when he does think better of it, well. He’s already said it. 

Next to him, he can feel Shanks tensing up. He leaves him ample time to cut him off, half relieved when the redhead stays silent. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees him idly tracing the neck of the bottle they’ve emptied. 

“I didn’t join out of some misplaced faith or sense of justice”, he feels the need to point out, his father’s stern face at the back of his mind. “I joined because my brother did”. 

To have an excuse to get out of home, too. With Calugurul about to be shipped off, he hadn’t been too eager to find out if he could withstand the full scope of their father’s attention alone. 

“We were… close, my brother and I”, he continues. And then, because it feels cheap to encompass their relationship with just that: “He taught me to fight. Gave me my first sword”. 

Back when Yoru doubled him in height and he couldn’t fathom how his brother managed to wield it when he himself had trouble raising a simple steel sword.

“He did have faith in the cause”, he says after a moment. Under the night sky, Yoru stays black and void. Even the reflection of the small bonfire they’ve built evades it. “Quickly gained the trust of peers… and superiors”. 

The back of his throat tastes bitter. Why is he doing this? He doesn’t owe Shanks a single thing. Why is he wasting his time trying to appease the redhead’s stupid insecurity about him not joining his crew? 

He sighs. 

“My skills in combat kept me by his side through all of it. That is, until Gyorgy Thurzo became our captain”.  

#mishanks #akagami no shanks #dracule mihawk #one piece #one piece live action #opla #thought about the idea of mihawk having a 'similar' story to zoro #and the idea of mihawk coming from a well off family but ending up for some reason alone abandoned and in poverty before becoming a pirate #and also about how much I'd like to make the castle of kuraigana actually important for his backstory #then I started giving all the characters vampire inspired names because of course #and thought about elizabeth bathory #and something something I think Mihawk can be a nickname. Maybe I have a better surname for him #so yeah lemme tell you about the terrifying fall of mihawk's family #and about how exactly mihawk wins the marine hunter nickname #and also about how he ends up becoming part of the local folklore 'monster that will hunt bad children' type of thing #because word spreads fast after he avenges his brother's death and his murders get WILDLY decorated

"Go to hell” is basic. “I hope your least favorite character shares a birthday with you” is smart. It’s possible. It’s terrifying

#i cant say i hate anyone in i7 but he is my least favorite. i like what he does for the story tho this bitch created half of these chara #cters issues. the other half being ryo btw. whom i also find interesting as a character but my god was i genuinely terrified #dont ask an i7 fan what happened on (i dont remember) of february (ryo trying to have momo murdered and passed off as a suicide)

[radiantmists]

if i were ratthi i think i would be developing a specific complex around being put somewhere 'safe' (which is to say, still risky but not where the murders are actually happening currently) when everyone else is going into danger.

#it happens in asr at the deltfall habitat #along w pin-lee + gurathin it kinda happens in ES #in FT he and gurathin know murderbot is doing something w security while they're just in the cafeteria #in NE he's in the pod which sounded VERY terrifying but no murdering was happening #and then he wasn't in the group that went to the station/planet #and now in SC he is on the adventure group but keeps getting confined to the shuttle #and like. its on his own head to an extent bc its repeatedly mentioned that he has no field training #but still. #also i worry that the fact that iirc even murderbot acknowledges that ratthi's never directly seen it kill someone #is setting up for some drama in the future #though i hope not #murderbot diaries #the murderbot diaries #system collapse spoilers #murderbot spoilers
