ok i sewed up repo. no rocks inside him. i gave him a shot of painkiller so now he's out of it, but he shouldn't be bleeding everywhere anymore and his body will regenerate soon, and it should push out the stitches and whatever after. dont let him drink anything other than water for six hours tops.

[Brief] Thoughts on Film Theory's Analysis
Tumblr media
I was gonna post this on my priv twt.. but moots convinced me to post it here so here we are.. beware of spoilers, gore, bla bla bla ..
FIRST OFF I'm gonna start by saying, I AM ESL. I may or may not have misinterpreted some of his words, but this is mainly how I thought of his analysis. This is not meant to be ill-guided or rude ! so sorry if it comes off as this way. I will be very repetitive.
Another thing, most if not all of the information matpat gave out i alr discussed with a few mutuals on discord about a few months back so this is not new territory to me 😭😭 I thought most folks would already knew the concept of how the brain deteriorates overtime But honestly, that indisposition shouldn’t even apply to omni man??? matpat tried to compare an immortal Viltrumite's psychology to that of an aging human's, which can be misguided.
Let's start by how he compares Nolan's brain to the average aging human's brain so the audience could understand his psyche more and how empathy declines overtime. First and foremost, Nolan is not a human, second; Nolan wasn't raised with empathy or around an empathetic environment - it was an alien concept to his race. Something frowned upon. He was raised from birth to conquer and destroy without remorse. His brain never developed those neural pathways for empathy in the first place. It's not that they deteriorated over time, they were never even formed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
By the time he came to Earth, all this familial stuff was new to him. Sure, he knew he was gonna outlive them, but He didn't think he'd get attached. HE didn't process that he'd grieve over them when the time came.
Interacting with humanity for the first time ignited unfamiliar emotions in Nolan that he didn’t know how to process.
Tumblr media
His time living amongst humans caused conflicting feelings he’d never experienced in his centuries of systematic slaughter. Loving Debbie and Mark went against everything he was taught, but he couldn't help it. For once, the lives he was manipulating to further Viltrum’s goals meant something to him. He developed a [what he presumed, NOT what he felt about them in reality, his love for them is far more profound than he assumed it to be which we later on see in the last ep of s1 and the second season] petty facsimile of love for his ersatz family.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So no, his capacity for empathy didn't decline with age as MatPat claims. His empathy was stunted from the start. An underdeveloped skill, not a deteriorated one. We had characters like Debbie to help him understand those notions, help him grow it. With Mark in the mix? it only amplified that development.
Viltrumites are societally and culturally predisposed to violence and domination. Nolan was never accustomed to forming emotional connections or grieving loss. Those were entirely new experiences for him after arriving on Earth. He was not jaded. he was grown into jamais vu in viltrum.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is why the whole conflict in s1 happened, he was treading between double lives he wasn't sure of. He was conflicted because his past values were refuting with his new experiences. He found love on Earth, he found himself unable to accept how he'd lose Debbie. Of How jaded Mark might become. Everything he said to Mark till that point was his own self-projections, his own fears, doubts.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While the video did provide some interesting facts about neuroscience and aging, the application of those facts to Nolan's character was inaccurate. IT is educational for those who don't know, but it isn't recent news that the brain begins to deteriorate overtime so this video wasn't that informative which kinda disappointed me. Their analysis lacked alot of information about the Viltrumite race and Nolan's character. Comparing him to humans with normal life experiences just doesn't work. His immortal nature combined with a lack of empathy from birth created a psychology unlike anything seen on Earth.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SORRY FOR RANTING ALOT AND OR IF IT SEEMS LIKE I'M GIVING MATPAT SHIT ... i really liked their analysis on immortal so i'll give them that. Immortal, unlike Nolan, was born human. He has lived among humanity for over 3000 years, inhabiting different identities of public and devoted historians. Because of this, his psyche developed quite differently. Immortal knows how to form connections, experience loss, and adapt to social changes. His perpetual existence didn't harden his heart like Viltrum's brutal culture did to Nolan. Instead, Immortal's immortality allowed his empathy and compassion to blossom.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Humans are social creatures. Our brains have evolved to seek out interpersonal relationships, crave affection, and find meaning in community. For an immortal like Immortal, social interaction is vital to staving off boredom, depression and detachment from humanity.
Tumblr media
By inhabiting mortal lives, he stays tethered to the human experience. He continues learning, growing, and developing empathy.
This is why he's devastated when the guardians die.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is also why he goes fucking mental and tries to kill Omni-man.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If Immortal had lived in isolation all this time, unable to connect with people, his psyche would likely resemble Nolan's more closely. Without social interaction, Immortal's brain would atrophy in ways that preclude complex emotions and moral reasoning. His sense of purpose would fade, achievements would lose meaning, and life itself might feel pointless. By engaging with humanity, Immortal gives his endless existence purpose and direction. He finds value in each temporary life, so loss still impacts him deeply. Socializing keeps his emotions and cognition flexible, which prevents the apathy and hardness of heart seen in Nolan. Nolan never had these opportunities in his early years, this is why it's more difficult for him to stray away from his indoctrination. It's that he's unused to it, underdeveloped.
60 years to Nolan would've been a year and a half, so what's 20 measly years on Earth for him? Yes, he found profound connections in that little speck of time, but Immortal's emotional capacity is far more extensive.
In summary, Comparing Nolan to a human, whether mortal or immortal, is kinda inaccurate. His Viltrumite psyche rules out him from possessing JADED human qualities. You could say he's desensitized to violence sure, but no.. unfortunately.. he does not have [boomer] brain. He has [indoctrinated alien-fascist brain]
Tumblr media
Leave your own thoughts down below or through reblogs, I'm really interested on what others may think of this! (URGHHHNN... my hcs r slipping away from my fingers cuz now people r gonna accept what matpat says as truth.. someone gun me down from the hills..)

Find the Word Tag
I got double tagged ages ago by @dogmomwrites, and it’s about time I start dipping my toes back into actually answering tag games XD Thanks for the tags!
Before this gets too long, I’ll tag @cataclysmicwriting, @smol-feralgremlin, @emelkae, and anybody else who wants to! Your words will be iris, regret, wish, and truth
Words: alone, beg, call, clench, break, confuse, determine, hesitate, dismiss, startle 
Alone (Dumbass Immortals)
Harmony didn’t look up even as Jayy stuck the mug in the microwave to reheat the coffee. When it was finally at an acceptable temperature, Jayy leaned against the counter in front of Harmony, slowly sipping at her coffee.
Eventually, something must have tipped Harmony off that she was no longer alone, because her nose twitched a few times, and then she looked up from her laptop, blinking owlishly. “Oh. Morning Jayy. I didn’t think you’d be up for another few hours yet.” Her green eyes narrowed in on the mug in Jayy’s hands. “Is that my coffee?”
“Fair game.” Jayy took another sip. “You left it so long it was cold.”
“That’s still my coffee.”
Beg (Astral Part 2)
“I found a way back. Or. Maybe. I don’t know honestly. But here’s what I do know. I love you James. So damn much. But you are the only thing that is keeping me here. And I’ve decided that I can’t—won’t spend the rest of my life feeling half-dead without my magic. Which is why I’m a coward and recording these videos, so you can’t beg me to stay.”
He let out a broken laugh. “I’m a coward who can’t even look you in the eye as I break your heart.”
Call (Nova)
Once the teleportation haze cleared, Jay shrugged off Basil’s arm to lean against the wall. “Honey, I’m home,” he called into the apartment.
A split second later, as if she’d been pacing just out of sight, Aydan appeared around the corner. She glanced between the three, then darted for the older Basil, who was closest.
“Kitten.” Basil caught her midstride. “You’re okay.”
Clench (Astral Part 2, At The Tip Of Your Fingers)
“Why are you here?” he asked.
James snorted. “Like I was gonna leave you.”
“You might as well.”
“What?”
Aiden stared down at his hands, the unbandaged one clutching at the sheets. “You might as well leave,” he repeated, a surprising amount of venom in his voice. “Nothing’s going to get better. I’m never going to be okay, and you don’t deserve that shit.”
With a start, James realized that Aiden’s anger was directed at himself, not at James. “It’s not like I was expecting you to be perfectly happy in the first place,” James said, gently working at Aiden’s fingers to unclench his hand.
“You deserve better,” Aiden hissed, still looking away.
“And if I don’t want better?”
“Fuck—stop.”
Break (ASTHC)
As I expected, Jazz breaks first, dashing across the torn up earth to attack me. “You idiot!”
I groan as she hits me. My ribs feel bruised, maybe broken, and her imitation of a boa constrictor isn’t helping. I still hug her back though, relishing in the familiar comfort.
“You seriously just crash landed a fuckin spaceship and all you have to say is hey??”
Confuse (Band AU)
I wasn’t aware you hated rom-coms that much lol.
Aiden glanced up to see Jaybird’s eyes on him from across the room. Jaybird had been settled by the time Aiden got there, and had obviously left Aiden the choice of how close he wanted to be. Aiden was still confused, his feelings warring in his chest, so he decided distance would be best.
Determine (Lost Beneath the Waves)
Legacy suddenly brightened, and before Calipsa could command it to stay, it zoomed off into the house, through a closed door. A moment later, there was a yelp and a thud, accompanied by a bright flash of copper light.
“My apologies about Legacy,” Calipsa said. “I’m afraid it tends to be… enthusiastic about its mission.”
“Legacy, ma’am?” the woman asked.
“It’s how we determine the next ruler of Astral, in the absence of any clear line of inheritance,” Calipsa explained. “And it appears it has chosen whoever is hiding in that other room.” She raised her voice pointedly to be heard through the walls.
Hesitate (Space Pirates)
“So let me guess, you’re going to say exactly what you think I want to hear so that I’ll let you go without a fuss?” Artemis asked, her voice surprisingly brittle. Caelan was surprised at how much they didn’t like her sounding like that.
“Artemis,” they started, then hesitated. She wasn’t exactly wrong. Their plan all along had been to appeal to her sense of righteousness.
Dismiss (Astral Part 1)
“How do you know me?” Aiden demanded, though he wasn’t quite brave enough to move out from behind the protection Finn offered.
“Like I said, James.”
“That doesn’t clarify anything,” Aiden hissed. “I don’t know who you are.”
“Who I am is really not important,” Danielle said dismissively. “What is important is getting you home.”
Startle (Magic AU)
“James.”
The smile slipped from James’s face.
“What happened to Will?” Jason asked. “You don’t have to give me details, if it’s too much for you. Just… tell me where he is.”
James’s lip trembled.
Jason was startled by a sudden, familiar voice speaking. “I’m right here.”

my partner, for reasons I cannot fathom, resided largely on twitter on purpose. he didn't enjoy it most of the time; it stressed him out, the doomscrolling and all. but it was where he was, before he deleted upon certain recent events, and he was very stubborn about staying there.
and here's the thing, even though he isn't on twitter anymore, i can tell. I can tell he came from twitter, because I will sometimes turn my screen - phone or computer - to show him a tumblr post with more than one part to it. you know, a post with a response.
and without fail, every single time
his eyes flick down to read the bottom post first

For the ask game: Tonari - 5, 7, and 12!
Heya Ray! Ok here goes
5) What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?
Honestly I’ve got a handful, most for maybe a line or two of association, but the first one that came to mind when reading this question that’s completely hers in my head was “The Moon Will Sing” by the Crane Wives. I love imagining the song as her reflecting on her dad, friends, Hayase, and Fushi, and how they’ve all contributed to the way she feels about herself and her legacy. Fun fact, the association came about from my mishearing of a line as “I shine only with the life you gave me,” the original word being “light” instead of “life.” But the more I reflected on the song, the more I felt her presence in it (I described this to my best friend as Tonari clawing her way to the surface lol), especially in the third verse. That one in particular draws a really vivid image to me of what Tonari’s headspace must have been right after Fushi pulled her away from the flames. I imagine she’s remorseful that she couldn’t give her friends a better life and is rallying to find her courage to kill them before Fushi steps in. “Instead you hoarded all that’s left of me” is a complicated little line too, filled with the bitterness and confusion at Fushi of keeping her from death. There’s not much left of her with the death of her friends, what Fushi did was selfish, but also implies Tonari didn’t realize Fushi cared if she lived or died. Then he takes the sword from her hands, “swallowing your doubt,” and she’s… grateful, angry, upset… but most of all, she acknowledges the mutual hesitance between herself and Fushi, even though they both know this is the only course of action. Even though it makes her feel like he’s taking the sword through her own body. He might as well be. The line “I want to feel the fire that you kept from me” is the most straightforward in my opinion, and what really solidified this song as being hers for me. It’s a little funny what I’ve done here tbh. The song probably meant the line as “i want to become the person you stopped me from being, I want to regain the life that was supposed to be mine,” but for this Tonari interpretation, I’ve given it the opposite implication… cough
Anyway, the chorus also kind of ties in with another song I somewhat associate with her, “Your Best American Girl” by Mitski, for the lines “Well I’m not the moon/I’m not even a star,” but I’ll spare you the analysis for that and “Goodbye My Danish Sweetheart” (also by Mitski) til… later 👀❗️
For now, I’ll leave you with the three following, lighter songs: Laufey called “Best Friend,” which I listen to as something directed towards the immortal army as a whole; “Wings,” by So!YoON! and Phum Viphruit as a song between her and Ligard and Fushi woah who said that; and “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri bc immortalism and the heartbreak of waiting to reunite with someone. Also please imagine the second verse as being from Fushi’s perspective on getting not just her but all of their friends back at the end of the past era arc with potentially rough implications for their thought process in the modern arc WHO SAID THAT
7) What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?
(Lyn asked me this too so I’ll cover it here for the two of ya!)
Tbh… I just like it when anyone talks about her ówò Tonari tends to get overlooked- even tho I’d argue she’s something of a deuteragonist- so I really just love whenever people acknowledge her importance to the story and show some enthusiasm for her plotlines. In terms of stories and fan art, it’s always awesome to see all the different sides of her shine through! Tonari’s badass, bitchy, and a little judgmental, but she’s also fashionable, studious, and warm, especially toward March and Eko. It’s also nice to see the occasional silliness she used to show on Jananda shine through every now and then. She’s changed a lot by the next arc, for obvious reasons, but she was pretty silly to Hisame when she was inviting herself to dinner, I don’t think all that playfulness should just disappear! So it’s nice to see fans playing with Tonari without vilifying her ;w; Also without reducing her to her feelings for Fushi, because yeah she has some but that’s not the only thing she’s about (even tho…. I fixate a lot… on that particular subject……… cough). While I’m on the subject, I really love that most ToFu art is limited to things like gentle physical affection. A head on a shoulder (I spent hours running around my house when you sent me that pic Ray, HOURS), a meaningful hug, and touching hands- an absolute must if you like em. I’m definitely getting carried away now though…
12) What's a headcanon you have for this character?
(Limit yourself, limit yourself, limit yourself…!!!)
(Also Coop if you’re reading this, the green one is the only safe one lol)
Bisexual Tonari is an obvious one, I’m convinced she was attracted to Parona’s form (who isn’t in this show tho lmao), and I find those ship posts between Tonari and Mizuha to be so fun tbh. Enemies to lovers maybe, invited to hold hands with her and Hanna! That theory you had about Nagisa having a crush on Tonari lives in my head rent free too, absolutely canon to me. Actually the MizuNariHanna stuff would be extra funny in a world where Nagisa has a crush on Tonari bc now Mizuha’s a girl stealer too! Nagisa just can’t win!!!
Tonari loves writing! And she’s a woman in STEM! Not a headcanon just fact but it lays down the groundwork for my following headcanon: she probably went away to grad school or something. Bon asked if Tonari knew how to do surgery, implying to my insane head that she’s probably gone away for school or something, maybe even received a doctorate, but Bon doesn’t know what for. Her stitches look a bit spaced out and wonky tbh, so she probably doesn’t have the patience for things like needlepoint. I’d wager her calling probably isn’t physical art either haha.
She absolutely goes drinking with the immortal trio + Bon and maybe Gugu once she’s old enough to do so (… would Hairo drink? Designated driver Hairo Rich, but also it’d be so funny if he’s completely normal in the stupidest way while drunk. “Stands like perfectly normal but topples over the second he goes to take a step” typa drunk- BUT THIS ISNT ABOUT HIM SORRY). I think they’d love having Tonari around to pal around with! I imagine that old Jananda arc silliness comes out full force then, if her excitement at Mizuha’s birthday was anything to go off ✌️
(This one’s safe Coop!) Her hair’s been short and choppy since before she got to Jananda so I like to think she did that little kid thing where she tried cutting her own hair and it came out looking uneven. Instead of letting her parents fix it though, she just insisted it wasn’t a mistake and wore it out like that for years. Then when she got to Jananda all the scissors sucked so she just had to keep cutting her hair in the same shabby way. Mia and Oopa having long hair is so funny to me too cuz I imagine they wouldn’t let Tonari get anywhere near them with scissors in her hand (OK stop reading here Coop!)
While I’m here, i think Tonari probably sees a little bit of her old friends in the immortal army tbh. Like, @/alphaofdarkness made the connection that March probably reminded Tonari of Oopa ;; So I feel like Gugu could remind Tonari of Uroy in some ways too, like in the buff, blond, older brother figure kind of way. Eko could remind her of young Sandel in the same way both were kind of upbeat and cute, but quiet in a way that they faded a little in the group (my brother INSISTED Sandel had NOT been there the entire time we were watching the Jananda arc). Meanwhile Messar might remind her of the older Sandel, the kind who probably was more like a brotherly shithead to her after all their years of growing up together. And Mia… imma be honest Mia’s weird as hell, chair fighting, curly hair collecting? Ain’t nobody doing it like Mia 🫡 ACTUALLY ITS BON, BON TOTALLY REMINDS HER OF MIA LMAO
OK IM ENDING IT THERE (Believe it or not this is me limiting myself, I’d typed out an entire section on Tonari’s relationship with each of the members of the immortal army). Hope these were decent enough responses to your questions Ray!
If you- or anyone- has anymore questions on Tonari or literally anyone else please feel free to send them! I have thoughts on like literally everyone, no character too obscure ✌️
