i knew ppl would parallel the you deserve a choice bit with joel saving ellie and i knew it would make me furious cus it was never joel who took her choice away and he’s not wrong to have saved a suicidal child from being a lab rat lmao. it never would have been a free choice for her. and tbh i love bella but it’s disappointing to see them talk about how being a cure is ellie’s life purpose and that she has to force herself to believe joel cus it’s too painful for her to admit the person she loves and trusts the most has taken that away from her bcus it lacks any nuance or care in the way we talk about a traumatised girl and her agency and who is doing her harm vs who isn’t. joel didn’t take anything from her. the fireflies stopped her having a choice by not even asking and even if they’d asked it still wouldn’t have been a free choice cus she would have been consenting bcus of trauma and guilt. the fireflies attempting to exploit that as justification fucks with ellie’s agency more than joel did and is what actually would have taken something away from her

In 1997 Willy “Boss” Murderface would open the infamous pizza joint, Willy’s Neopolitan Pies, in Union City. Despite the over saturated New York/New Jersey pizza market, Willy’s quickly shot to fame for their excellent pizza, terrible service, and of course their iconic debut special item- Baked Beans Pizza.
Despite the staffs horrible attitude and the questionable health and safety kitchen situation, Willy’s became beloved by locals and tourists alike. Boss terrorized both staff and customers, being recounted by one visitor as “the worst possible man to own a restaurant. Or possibly do anything.” For over 20 years, Willy’s was known far and wide as a must-stop for travelers through the area. The pizza was burnt, cheese questionable, and “secret” sauce “unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. Like a gas station in your mouth.”
Willy’s made Boss a millionaire, and he was on track to become one of the most successful self-made business owners in the country. Until, of course, tragedy struck.
In 2008 world famous band Dethklok visited Willy’s and liked their pizza so much, they tried to strike a deal with Boss, and that’s when it all went downhill. Refusing to sell, Boss found himself in a lawsuit with Dethklok he couldn’t afford to win and couldn’t fathom losing, and the ensuing investigation from Dethkloks’ far more powerful lawyers resulted in Willy’s making headlines for all the wrong reasons; human fecal matter in the sauce, mainly. Boss was forced to shut down his restaurant and move away, often being hunted down as he moved to smaller and smaller apartments and getting “bean sauced”- former customers and fanatics term for throwing their own feces at his house, car, and sometimes himself.
Boss eventually moved to El Paso, where he’s rumored to run a small manure and fertilizer ranch, although after the Dethklok fiasco it’s been nearly impossible to catch photos of him. Wherever you are Boss, we hope you know- whatever was in it, that pizza was delicious.

I think Evan might be the most resistant to humiliation out of the Afton kids. It still hurts, obviously, but he responds to it more typically.
Elizabeth and Michael inherited William's sensitivity to it, though.
Elizabeth doesn't get that treatment much, just because she's the favorite. (Evan gets it the most, which is probably part of why he's a bit jaded to it.) When she does, she rages. Not towards William, never towards William, but in general: tantrums, throwing things, starting arguments.
Michael, in the long run, takes things out on others and on himself, but, in the moment?
Humiliation is the easiest way to make him cry. Red face, angry tears that itch and burn on his cheeks. He wants to lash out, wants to hit and bite and scream– rarely, he does, and it always ends in bruises and blood– but his hands lock up and his feet plant to the floor, and all he can do is stand there like a trembling statue as his father's words break him down.

HIII DUDE good afternoon how r u how's the tokyo ghoul rewatch going!! i would. Love 2 hear ur ghostkicks and/or tg thoughts literally at any given time. taking ur joke tags absolutely dead serious because im trying 2 figure out How To Write Them currebtly & we're doin a bit of wrangling in the google doc 😭.
u know i have the brainrot so so so badly because im on episode 3 of tg and all i can think is "i can make a pd au out of this" so im feeling rlly normal abt it basically. im blaming it on unravel.
ANYWAY. ANYWAY. ANYWAY. YEAH. HI. GHOSTKICKS. they are soooooo. tired depressed introvert gets adopted by a loud bubbly extrovert trope. at least on the surface. like how they behave at school in season 1. thinkin abt jimmy going "what is UP with bro behind u" and william just ominously lurking there. and how dakota defends him later !!!!!!!! idk how much of this youve gotten to yet bc i dont remember when it actually comes up in canon bc its such an ingrained part of his character but dakota is soooooo. guard dog coded. this hits especially hard in the "what if pd were villains" oneshot but its sooooo prevalent in canon too.
they both hold each other in the highest respect. william sees dakota as the prime (ha) example of what a hero should be. hes brave hes kind he does his best to protect everyone no matter what. hes all the things that william Isnt. BUT !!!! dakota also looks up to him !!! hes so smart hes good at problem solving hes so curious about everything and asking questions and poking his nose into things that nobody else would even consider. dakota knows hes not smart so he automatically looks to william whenever he needs a plan or someone to tell him what to do when he feels lost. they complement each other and they dont even !!!!! know it !!!!!!!
also regarding williams powers. fuck dude. season 1 he was so fucking scared of himself and ashamed of the things he could do . he hid every time he had to use wisp form !!! but dakota always thought it was so cool and was not QUIET about it. boy went fucking STAR EYES the first time he saw wisp form !!!!!! i will never stop thinking abt the first rolled for season 2 where charlie goes "if dakota hadnt left, he probably wouldve been able to convince william to keep using his powers and not to completely disregard their existence like he has been" and . considering what william is like in season 2... god this wouldve been a COMPLETELY different fucking campaign. theyre so. incredibly soulmates to me. theyre so important to each other theyd do anything for each other. i cant say too much more without accidentally giving you spoilers bc i WILL keep talking and not be able to shut up but GOD fuck ghostkicks enjoyers eat so well in the latter half of s2. moirails. 2 me !!!!!!!

okay separate post because tags were getting long, but william resenting ppl and not realizing it / not understanding why is like. Common for him. this is about michael. this is about henry. this is about elise / mrs. af.ton. potentially even some victims. he resents ppl being authentically themselves. he resents ppl being better than him ( or even equal to him, in some cases ). he resents ppl who don't "have" to try as hard, who don't "deserve" to be doing better than him, etc etc etc. but he can't pinpoint that. he's not as self-aware as he thinks he is.
