#and facade is a ''human

[superhell]

house md is wild because house tells wilson that he’ll sacrifice many things but never himself and then he sacrifices himself for wilson. and then he sacrifices himself for wilson. and then he sacrifices himself for wilson. and then he

#also like. this is the guy who said that 'people dont change' for the majority of his life and then when wilson is dying hes like 'i can cha #nge' its that he doesn't talk about his feelings and he cannot bear to show weakness until it seems that he is losing wilson and then #he will literally say anything to keep him its that he is shown repeatedly to be a vicodin addict and that hes destroyed relationships over #his pain and his need for vicodin but he'll give wilson his own pills and go without to make sure wilson has enough meds its that he is #old and cynical and his beliefs about humanity have been written in stone and his walls are topped with turrets and barbed wire but the gate #s fucking open for wilson time and again and wilson is the exception to the rules time and again its. so fucked up #wilson is quite literally his anchor in humanity wilson is his achilles heel wilson is his entire support system the foundations of gregory #house's life have been built around one james evan wilson from the moment he saw that twink throw a bottle into a mirror. am i making sense #here. do these words mean anything #house #wilson #hilson #house md #hatecrimes md #house is a very very carefully constructed facade and wilson is a fucking sledgehammer.

regret

#literally excuse the shitty anatomy and cell shading i was thinking abt chuuyas reaction to what he'd done and i decided to make it skk #bc skk copium :') #the way i've hated dazai so fucking much but i still cried like a bitch when he died #he's not dead the bsd fandom has this phase like the elevator chapter where we're like ''dazai's not gonna make it he's done for!!'' #and then he comes back next chapter like surprise bitches yall thought i was dead lmao #this chapter fucking HURT for skk shippers tho like we rly lost this time around huh #deluding myself into thinking that chuuya used gravity manipulation to slow the bullet #bc we didn't see a bullet hole behind dazais head like when chuuya shot his shoulder even though the bullet to his skull was fired at close #the reason theres a wound is bc the compressed air that was still fired was enough to wound him #and the shock wave that followed caused him to pass out bc of the sudden tension to his head intermingled with the blood loss and poison #we also know dazai can control his heart rate at will so maybe he can drop his pulse to zero for like thirty secs #enough to make fyodor believe he's dead #in the event that all of this is untrue and dazai rly does die the way my entire being will go numb and cold and dead #knowing that fyodor will most likely use dazai's death as a weapon against chuuya effectively chaining him to his side #like bffr chuuya may dislike dazai but that's his partner his reflection the boy that makes him desperately want to be human #dazai is the embodiment of chuuyas humanity and once chuuya loses that tether to his human side he will snap and the facade will shatter #and we will truly see chuuya unhinged with nothing more keeping him bound to his mortal shell #this wasn't the skk reunion we wanted asigiri what the fuck :( #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #bsd #nakahara chuuya #chuuya nakahara #osamu dazai #dazai osamu #skk #soukoku #lotus draws

the long way down job is such an important turning point in eliot & parker’s relationship bc they’d both been viewing the things they have in common as fairly negative: they’ve both been told that they’re cold and ruthless and dangerous and they know those things are true. so when they’ve recognised themselves in each other, it’s been a sense of "the thing that’s wrong with me is a lot like the thing that’s wrong with you". and there’s comfort in that, in a way. but now eliot gets parker to see that maybe those aren’t all negative traits, they’re just… traits. neutral. it doesn’t make them bad or good, it makes them who they are. and now when they see themselves reflected in each other, it’s not a reminder that they’re wrong and bad - it’s kinship, it’s familiarity, it’s belonging.

#leverage #eliot spencer #parker #parker leverage #the long way down job #leverageposting #wren speaks #they’ve bonded over being different (shameful) but now they’re bonding over being different (neutral) #and eliot has clearly had to come a long way btwn s3 and s4 to make that realisation & we see parker have that realisation… #listening to episode commentary makes me Have Emotions like oh parker has felt like she wasn’t good enough to have a family until now. oh. #oh they recognise similar traits in each other and act different when it’s just them bc they don’t bother w the facade of humanity #and she hasn’t been able to talk to anyone about morality until now but eliot Understands in a way the others can’t #and she’s just now finally realising that she is worthy of hardison & she’s capable of a relationship which she was worried she wouldn’t be #okay. alright. ow my heart

Before you read: This post has been edited. Please keep in mind that this was not meant to be a serious meta and therefore did not have the most thorough research put into it . Many of my friends have rebloged this post with very interesting commentary, and I expand on my points in a better way in further reblogs. Please check those out before you interact, because I feel this post alone does not fully represent how I feel about the matter. Every interpretation of Connor is valid, and this post was not meant to belittle anybody for feeling differently than I.

Most of whats below is as it was originally posted, aside from a few reworded statements <3

I find it incredibly ironic that a majority of the fan base looked at Connor and labeled him soft, innocent, pure, and harmless, when the whole point of his character is that that's what Cyberlife designed him to be. He even says it to Hank in The Nest.

"Cyberlife androids are designed to work harmoniously with humans. Both my appearance, and voice, were specifically designed to facilitate my integration."

The whole point of his story is to show that he is not a pure and good person. Us, as the player, should know better than anyone that Connor is not harmless or soft. Connor is constantly putting up a facade because that's what Cyberlife needs from him. He is designed to integrate with humans - and Hank - to achieve the best results in the investigation.

A fan favorite moment is during Waiting for Hank when you get to snoop around Hank's belongings and ask him invasive questions in order to gain information about him for more amicable relations. It is not Connor taking a genuine interest in Hank.

Then there's The Nest, where Connor once again tries to bond with Hank. He tries to forge a relationship because it is what Amanda wants, and what Cyberlife needs for maximum efficiency in Connor's hunt.

There's also the moment Connor can snoop around Hank's home to find out incredibly person and intimate details about his past. Also considered a fan favorite moment.

These moments:

Are not real. They are not Connor being a pure cinnamon role. It is Connor putting on an act to get the best results. It's a concept introduced in the very first chapter of the game. Connor does not care about Daniel. He barely blinks at his death. But the whole negotiation, it is Connor's goal to pretend he gives a shit. Connor does this with every single victim.

This is not Connor feeling genuine empathy for these people:

It is him finding the best way to accomplish his mission without scaring off a potential suspect or witness

So many moments the fandom sites as Connor being a Good Boi TM is just him acting. The same act that he puts on to convince his victims and allies alike that he is a Good Boi. But he's not.

This:

Is Connor. At least at the beginning. He is cold. He is ruthless. He simply does not care. The only moment of genuine joy he shows pre deviancy is when he is praised by Amanda for his efficiency in capturing a subject.

And that's the point. He starts off the game a terrible person who does not care for the lives of those around him because he's been taught that they dont matter. He only learns to become a good person through growing genuinely empathetic towards the people he is killing. That's why The Bridge is so important.

Connor spends so long asking questions. Asking Hank personal questions so he can adapt better to his personality. Connor asking questions so he can piece together the puzzle of deviancy. At the bridge, Hank finally stops Connor in his tracks and asks him the questions. Makes him stop and think about something besides his investigation for once. Why didn't you shoot, Connor?

It's after The Bridge that Connor finally starts to analyze himself and his actions too.

So, no. Connor is not a pure cinnamon role. He's a manipulative murderer who can only redeem himself by not pretending to be innocent anymore. For Connor to really become a good person, he has to go against everything that makes him a "cinnamon role" because that facade was made by Cyberlife.

#idk man i just hate the simplification of his character #dont get me wrong hes not entirely evil #but hes not some helpless baby #and hes definitely not a good person from the get go #i just find it ironic that people believe the facade that the game clearly shows is a facade #because thats what Connor was made to do #trick people into thinking he was a good kind harmless person #and i guess it worked #detroit: become human #dbh #dbh connor #edited post

at any point in a day, in the middle of a week, at any moment,,, these parts are ALWAYS always in my head

wwx your little moments of unhinged and brutal rationality make me go insane and are, in my opinion, peak moments of the entire book

#jess things #guys u dont understand i have so much love UNLIMITED LOVE for him when hes fighting tooth and nail to preserve his little facade of strength #and it can so easily reach the tipping point and even still it cannot be a cry for help #he cannot allow it to be #wwx’s weaknesses during this time are SO so special #i rly wish his yllz era was given more credence bc of the fact that he was at his most human #rather than this mask of Strength and Glory he would try to put on #i simply can never be normal abt it

*Squints eyes* do I have a type

#tho ofc i feel they're lowkey opposites at their core #greed is much more human on the inside than what his monstrous facade wants to emulate #while despite his human appearance and air of superiority and class #alucard is fundamentally a rabid monster on the inside that is barely keeping a few thin strands of humanity within himself #greed is losing the monster to humanity #alucard has long since lost his humanity to the monster #both are held together by their relationships with their comrades #fmab #greed #hellsing #alucard #full metal alchemis brotherhood #fullmetal alchemist #sidrabbles #fma

uhhhhh au i've had for ages and been thinking about recently where Hide joins Kaneki and Banjou after Aogiri instead of the CCG

#just him and kaneki hanging out #hide becoming friends with hinami and hanging out with her when the others are gone #hide immediately not liking tsukiyama and hearing the story of the restaurant and being pissed at him #but keeping a nice facade around him #and hide being good at gathering intel on the human side of things

short haired hannibal defender till i DIE

#the prison haircut just makes him look more human #cause thes took away that control of his perfect facade #and it just makes it so much better when he acts totally unmasked in wrath of the lamb #he looks more human but he's like fully unhinged #esp with the dragon fight?? hello!!!!! #hannibal #hannibal lecter #text

Something something guda who notices their servants' tendency to splay hands over where their uterus/womb would be and thinking "Haha okay kinda weird, but maybe it's a god/old custom/demigod/faerie/eldritch being thing to pray for or bless for good health," but in reality it's just sending large red neon signs of all caps saying "BACK THE FUCK OFF, THIS CUTIE IS MINE" signals to any people present

Worst offenders include the Clairvoyance Trio (Solomon, Merlin, Casgil), Obebegirl, Cu Alter, Kiyohime, Raikou, and maybe a lil bit of Morgan and a riled-up Bedivere

#Morgan just puts her hand in the crook of Guda's elbow #ArCas is aggressively friendly to anyone who she thinks is a threat #Dantes lurks and doesn't do much but you KNOW he's gonna be collecting dirt on an offender like bees to pollen #Morgan addendum: nasty curse to anyone who makes her Husband (Wife?) uncomfy nodnod #Bonus Romani would just get huffy and slightly snippy with rival and Goetia will Stare into Their Soul lmao #I like the idea of Merlin being all “Ethereal Fairy Far Beyond Human Ken” facade in front of a Guda he likes but when it's someone else? #Smiles are a bit toothier and eyes a bit sharper #Oberon cutting in every now and then into the conversation just to make it awkward lmao #fgo #SoloGuda #RomaGuda #ObeGuda

#in the top 3 stampede moments I regularly think about #stampede rlly reinterpreted trigun to make it all about love. vash's love for rem. knives' love for him. vash's love for humanity. #in the manga knives does not crash the ships because of vash. he does it because he thinks humanity is a blight #ik that stampede is technically a prequel and what happens in july is leading up to vash reexamining n solidifying his pacifism #but the kicker is that knives' is RIGHT! vash repeatedly gets rejected by other people #someone tries shooting him and when his angel arm protects him the townspeople start throwing ROCKS at him #in the manga his goofiness is a facade! to make himself small to make himself seem harmless to make it so that he can avoid fighting #and in stampede which arguably takes place before vash adopts that sillier persona knives SEES and KNOWS what's going to happen #he thinks vash is debasing himself he thinks vash needs to be protected he thinks HE knows better for vash than vash #and so he proceeds to remake vash. not for him. but for VASH himself. #so vash can achieve happiness but it's knives' standard of happiness #so who's the selfish one and who's the selfless one #do they actually love each other? can they love each other without understanding each other? #or maybe they just think they understand each other #which is why despite everything they try and try and try to get the other to understand #for that small sliver of a possibility #UGHHHGRGKRHGK #trigun.talk

ready for another page of reverb? no? ok

in regards to my recent post about wanting to scare reverb shitless

#msa #mystery skulls animated #mystery skulls #reverb msa #hansel au #my art #sometimes i forget reverb is from a relatively Not Horrific media #i know he doesnt look scared in the bottom left but i figured that #if provoked hed just give up the “human” facade and shapeshift into whatever would #defend(?) himself

[mummer]

was never that intense of a ten fan…. something too intensely likeable about him. bounces off. like he was built in a lab to be appealing and fun. exceptttt when he gets hypocritical and arrogant and evil cause you see the mask drop and you’re like… ohhh it’s a mask. it’s calculated….

#like even when eleven got evil it never felt like he was really intentionally putting up a silly fond facade #like he’s just both things. but ten is PRETENDING right??? am i crazy #ten doesnt even feel like an alien. he feels like a MAN #he’s flawed in very human ways. like 11 is off being a trickster god he cant help it but ten’s a guyyy it’s freaking me out #you’re just a maaannnn its just what you doooo #he’s very lancelot trying very hard to be good precisely because he isn’t #doc who
