#he wouldnt shoot them

[code31-onthedancefloor]

dont get me wrong while uli learning disco dancing and other horrifically outdated ways to pick up dates with harry is absolutely fucking hilarious i feel as if he would naturally gravitate towards kim more. not just because of the nilsen parallel but because he wants to be taken Seriously. and here is this very Serious (lonely) man who is Serious (repressed) about the way he loves and he drives a car despite being legally blind (stubborn) and has beaten the odds of survival time and time again (at the expense of others; which he feels as if he does not deserve). ulixes will learn Something from kim but it certainly won't be related to how to get steban to like him.

#kim probably wouldnt let uli anywhere near his gun so shooting's off the table #their interactions are more akin to 'estranged uncle drives you to a pretty place and #you both stiltedly philosophize on whether the love is worth the grief' #and then he shows you his cool camera and maybe get into photography since ampoules are cheap #and then maybe you build a collection of pretty photgraphs. you're an amateur but surely steban will see the beauty of them. right? #countless nights and days. whenever kim's free to drive you around to places you've seen a picture in #and then you place a photograph between each page of a new book of theory and gift it to Steban. #what comes next? uh... i'll write this fic someday 🧍‍♂️🏃‍♂️ #disco elysium #echo maker #ulixes bücher #txt #steban the student communist

connor is so bad at bullshitting but boy does he not let that stop him and for that he deserves some kudos

#he lies so easily yet so badly #to everyone and himself #''you had your gun pointed on those deviants why didnt you shoot'' #''they were out of range if i had the chance to shoot them why wouldnt i???????!!?!?!?'' #carrying on with my current playthrough after not picking it up for months because i didnt want to finish it

something so funny about matt saying "its just like shooting a deer!" about grant killing the chimera. and freddies "yeah but no one has had to TELEFRAG a DEER"

#dungeons and daddies #dndads #grant wilson #also #gestures to all the hero oak swallows garcia art about her having to kill deer specifically #matthew you did not reach your target audience with that one LMAO 😭 #i get what hes saying & how he wouldnt necessarily think abt the impact of it in the moment when he suggested it #HOWEVER i also disagree bc i feel like after Listening Back to that arc it is quite clear how that would be traumatic idk #i agree w freddie. like shooting something is one thing but ?! #idk . IDK i am just rambling #i am giving matt some grace though bc I understand his frustration w/ people using the chimera thing to make darryl seem like a horrible da #darryl wilson my beloved u are such a good father #idk i think people ignoring how much darryl changes in his efforts to talk to grant r ignoring a major part of grants character #which is that no matter how much someone loves/supports you it isnt going to suddenly get rid of ur trauma #ahem. Anyways. darryl is a wonderful dad and grant loves him very much 🩷 #I should write something about them hmm

...because any moment may be our last. everything is more beautiful because we're doomed.

#looking through my drafts and seeing this post unfinished and knowing in my core I'll probably never actually finish it . #but strangley enough i don't hate the way it looks with only those 2 panels ? beauty in simplicity or something idk #woe unfinished post be upon ye #honestly probably wouldnt even bother posting it were it not for the fact i was hit by a sudden wave of sadness #by being reminded out of the blue that alex really does just . lose nigel that night #enough deep level analysis my brain is all out i think . but just the simple fact that nigel dies that night #and alex has to go on for the rest of his life post-ending carrying that grief and loss with him #i know we talk about how nigel isn't truly 'gone' in the sense that they're one now and jack is supposed to be an amalgamation of the two #a product of their union and 'consummation' that night at the yard #but he's still gone . no matter how much alex might try and follow in nigel's footsteps #no matter how hard alex tries to tread that same path nigel did to feel close to him #he's gone . they will never have that moment beneath the house ever again . and alex has to go on living with that #anyway . normal again . imagine dropping a song rec like i used to. aha . go listen to sick like me by in this moment. #like minds #murderous intent #nigel colbie #alex forbes #nigel colbie x alex forbes #edit : THEY'LL NEVER HAVE THE MOMENT UNDER THE HOUSE AGAIN !!!!! #thinking about the moment where nigel sits across from alex after he shoots john #and the contrast to the scene in the crawlspace . nigel is trying to connect he is trying to get alex to see to understand #but now alex is closed off. something may be irreparable broken between them #do you think it was the moment where nigel starts to despair . to plead . realise that he needs to find a way to make alex truly see #i need to get some sleep

do you think if todd ended up in the backstage of reality again he wouldve met friedkin and friedkin wouldve been like 'hey youre the guy i almost shot in the head that one time' and todds like 'when in the fuck was this i dont even know you???'

#'dirk wouldnt shut up about you for like two hours he kept talking to this guy in coma #are you his boyfriend-assistant i have a boyfriend called assistent :)' #dghda #dirk gently #dirk gently's holistic detective agency #sometimes i like to think of scernarios in future seasons if it wasnt cancelled #rotate them around #also i think its a crime these two never met #it would be so stupid #i feel todd would ask every question exept /why/ friedkin was gonna shoot him #kind of a 'yeah valid' no questions asked response #is that too morbid? im sorry asdfghjkl; i dont even think todd has a dark sense of humour #dirk on the other hand that man def has a morbid humour

God, I just want a fanfic about the absolute wild internet fandom and discourse of PIDW. Just full stop make it a chat/discord sever fic with both SQQ and SQH in it but neither know and they have another meltdown relationship on this server. Enough so that the fans make jokes that they’re just alts of SQQ and SQH (which is true but no one actually believes this). Make the final chapter present day them figuring it out and wailing on each other in anger. I need this more than I need air.

#SVSSS #scum villian self saving system #shen quingqiu #Shang Qinghua #Look me in the eyes and tell me that SQH and SQQ wouldnt have alts to talk about the plot #SQQ because he wants to make sure no one knows he actually fucking likes this book and SQH because he wants to rant about erasure of plot #they switch positions is essientially what Im saying #Peerless Cucumber would rather die than admit to liking this book but Wet Cat Binghe would die for this series lmao #I just think SQQ would unironically go ''Binghe my wet meow meow'' enough times that thats his designated role on the discord server #meanwhile Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky would write PIDW while Mobei-Dick would write fix it fics with his original plot lines in it #And hes the number one fanfic writer in this fandom #Both of them fight like cats and dogs no matter the setting though

Something I can't help but think is a little funny is that so many people look at Gabriel and try to figure out why he Acts Like That and they give him a mental illness/disorder they either have or have experience with. Anyways my working theory is that its low empathy autism

#i think like. okay you know how hakita literally took the time to explain during the dev stream recently that like #that gabriel audio on ferrys ship was to show how he acts to most people and not when hes fighting someone #and hes nice! hes polite! #i think gabriel is generally a nice guy but he has low empathy and struggles with black and white thinking #i think every time he had a realization hey maybe this thing me and the council is doing is fucked up one of them is able to convince him #its not because theyre the supreme authority in gods absence and god would approve and god is good #but gabriel would still feel deep down that something is wrong but wouldnt DO anything abt it #not trying to absolve gabriel of all the shit he was complacent in its more like. i do think the idea of him having black and white thinkin #and looking the other way when it comes to other angels doing bad because of course theyre good is an interesting thing to explore #i am putting this guy under a microscope. essentially. #also ive seen people say he has bpd and i dont know enough abt that to weigh in. also too busy shooting him with the autism ray

Javier would've sided with Arthur and John, but he was doomed by the narrative.

#the fact he aims his gun UP to the SKY instead of at arthur and john is such a big thing to me #bc we know javier is loyal. its his fatal flaw. breaking that loyalty would mean that he wouldve been real pissed. #but javier knew. to some extent. that arthur and john did nothing wrong and didnt deserve to die. so he wouldnt shoot them #nemos thoughts #red dead redemption 2 #javier escuella

if you get prescribed a cgm and you get the choice between libre or dexcom go with dexcom

libre cgms die randomly on their own or refuse to connect, their customer service is shit, and all 3 apps they have are shit - none of them is above 3 stars and cherry picks which phone devices and operating systems they are compatible with

*cgm is constant glucose monitor

#daily stuff #had to help my grandpa trouble shoot today cause he got one #AND IT DOESNT WORK WITH HIS PHONE SYSTEM #my dad used to use them except they kept randomly dying or wouldnt connect #dexcom is more expensive but ITS WORTH IT OK

[jrueships]

hes so funny to me

#OF COURSE HE STILL DOES BOOMERANGS LMAO #who taught him the space before punctuation lol????? #bronny 😭?? #hes so papa i want him to adopt me fr #i read his shooting stars book and it gives some good insight on his personal thinking #he loves his mama.. he faced massive hurdles early on so the ones he faces later dont feel as big #he fought to play with his team again in court bcs the board wouldnt let him contact them at all #he wrote a personal letter to the president of the ohio board or smthin trying to explain and plead his case as a kid to let him play #with his friends again.....they used it as evidence in court against him #lebron was very hurt that his school waited until it looked like he was winning the court case to back him #so he was introduced to the cruelty of business at a young age #he just had to live his little kid life treated as an adult A Lot #but he was used to it bcs hes been doing that all his life #so hes not hurt by the circumstances.. but by the people personally #he thinks about being disappointed and mistreated by grown ppl and their grown expectations a lot #but again. he thinks he should be used to it bcs his father already introduced that concept to him early on with his absence #when he had to sit out a game he got worried his team forgot abt him bcs they wouldnt acknowledge him #(they werent allowed) #but he just wanted some sign that they missed him even tho they did give it before the game #he needs constant reminders to be comforted/consistency to start being comfortable #idk lol lebrons always just been a kinda person i feel bad for #sports are always applauded for helping kids grow up... but idk maybe sometimes it can be too fast #i never liked people making fun of him too much bcs ive always just felt some weird pang of sympathy for him #very unpopular opinion in chicago lol #idk anyways this is funny and cute and also i can understand #having adults around you not act like adults can come across as a shocking pain to expectations #realizing later that they shouldnt have acted like that and that they could be Wrong can hurt growing up #but again lebron tries to ease it. with the fact that it's merely only disappointment again #he should be used to it and he is #and maybe that hurts more

all the romancable DAO companions really just start falling for the warden if you're simply nice to them, huh

#i am trying really hard to keep them at arms length because I haven't decided between leliana and zevran #yet somehow I accidentally started a romance with alistair which I didn't even notice until he pulled out the rose #i am convinced it started because my warden told him she likes him for himself not his blood #which is a perfectly normal thing to say given that's a thing he seems insecure about and she genuinely likes him *but not as love interest #at least that's where I needed to reload to because I felt too bad to shoot him down lmao #also it would be mildly weird because in my mind that warden sees alistair more as a sibling she really wants to give a pep talk to #and square up with anyone that's rude to him #anyway #my point stands because I have to make an active effort with leliana to not lead her on #and to be fair I'm not trying that hard to stop with with zevran but also his approval is so easy to get up as well #morrigan might break that pattern #i wouldnt know because for some reason she's straight #and I made a female warden because my inky is a dude and I can't have everyone powerful be a dude yk as much as I love cas

[shewantsitall]

It's angst on a new level tbh

#there was a school shooting today #words cannot express how fucked up it is that this is even an issue #or how fucked up it is that when the news broke me and the second grade team were in a data meeting with RTI #and the teacher who was leading the meeting saw the news and told us and then we went on talking about data #bc there's nothing we could say or do despite being just a few hours away #and so we just went on with our meeting #i never dreamed this would be the world I'm teaching in #talked to a friend today who said he was glad his mom only had a year left before retirement #just one more year in what should be a safe place but could turn into a combat zone at any moment #I've thought a lot about my kiddos today #people talk about how teachers without personal children just Don't Get It in a lot of ways #but as dramatic as it sounds i honestly cant imagine loving my personal child any more than i love these kids. not that I wouldnt love them #just...that i really love my kiddos #and I can honestly say that i think i would do anything for them #im going to go cry some more #and then plan for tomorrow as best as i can #and im going to cherish every second tomorrow. even the ones that are not the best. because they're seconds we get. #just my ramblings #cw vent #personal vent #teacher sadie rides the struggle bus #student teacher sadie ✨

its always when u have just finished a big project that ur brain starts spinning the creativity wheel. but u have no energy to actually Make the idea

#i just think. a plantwood fic would go crazyyyyyy hard #if you weaponised. the vashwood reincarnation cycle #hear me out ok. hear me out #chronica after trying to find vash and nai for 200 years discovering a kid who looks Exactly like the records of nicholas d wolfwood #and she Knows vash and the Punisher were besties #so ww is trained up his whole life to be like the earth force's specialest little boy #and then sent out to find The Humanoid Typhoon. #known for his red coat and blonde hair. and his freak brother millions knives #meanwhile vash and nai have become lame ass farmers SIMILAR to insinirate's au. but i will not copy theirs #im just obsessed with nicholas getting to their house and being like huh.... have u guys seen this Humanoid Typhoon around #and nai has to physically restrain vash from jumping on nicholas while saying “no never heard of him. isnt that a kids story lol” #and ww is like damn well these guys arent blonde. guess its not them. and keeps going #but he keeps drifting back to them bc people Talk about them. like theyve cultivated that land for hundreds of years #but theyve never had kids or been married or anything so people Talk obviously #and eventually nicholas is like you know. you guys are hella suspicious #and is like. i know. if i try and attack them if theyre just normal farmers it wont work. why would they know how to fight #except he attacks vash who obviously is loving it and hes like omg noooooooo you wouldnt attack a farmer omgggggg #and nicholas gets pissed off and vash cant help but tease him bc he never thought he'd see ww so young and not bitter #so he's like and this is when id shoot you! #and they end up sparring and vash keeps poking him and saying “shoot” every time he leaves an opening and it drives ww insane #bc how is this stupid ass apple farmer crazy fast and skilled #(meanwhile nai is sipping his Beverage on the porch being like. oh well. we almost got away with it) #anyway ww is mad pissed this goofy looking guy keeps beating him but he still has dinner with them before he keeps going #next report to chronica he's like only interesting people ive met are these lame ass farmers who are wicked strong and chronica is like WHA #anyway ww is like no no. its not them why would it be them. but ill go check again #and then kv are equally as lame if not lamer this time #and ww is like yeah see i was right. totally not the two beings who singlehandedly almost reduced this whole planet to rubble #i think it would be funnier if it was nai that tipped ww off #like “you know you look nicer than you did before. less like a dog and more like a person” #and ww is like “before???? when did we meet before???”

If there ever was somehow a Vigilante TV show (or maybe if they even just get a spinoff or something) all the action scenes should have the same weird uncomfortable vibes as the action scenes in Barry. Just alot of weird events and abrupt character death

#yes Im rewatching the motorcycle scene in season 3 and thinking about Adrian. #Also yeah i think if there was a Vigilante spinoff of Peacemaker Adrian probably wouldnt be the main character #It'd be DORIA- #but yeah no theres like 8 Vigilantes to choose from. #Any of them could carry a show if you believe enough. #but a Vigilante 1983 drama would be the dream.... #but yeah get the scene of Adrian having to shoot a dude he was trying to help and then #having to hold onto his dead body because theyre midair and he has the parachute

I like that the ueno seiwa hit was clearly the first time saejima ever used a gun because he didnt seem concerned that none of the shots he fired spilled any blood at all like the red splatters that was splashing all over the place during the shooting scene was literally ramen , like saejima got his shoulder blown open and he was leaking blood everywhere but he was like surely its coincidence

#Yakuza liveplay #i appreciate that they foreshadowed it though even though i thouhht the whole thing was so stupid #like katsugari could have just worn a bulletproof vest and be done with it and let saejima use real bullets for the rest of the guys ...?.?. #he could have made his boss wear a bulletproof vest too. like what if saejima had shot him in the face with a rubber bullet #like he would have been knocked out for longer than the other men #that means he wouldnt have time to kill them and they would have filed outside by then #like the whole plan was so stupid ... i guess he couldnt run the risk of saejima killing their patriarch but still #and sugiuchi could have lied on the reports a bit more .... they could have bribed forensics #like the fucking ... rubber bullets .... god fuck me. #like what if saejima had picked up one of the ueno seiwa guys guns with real bullets and used that to shoot ?? #did he account for that ? what if saejima was extremely resourceful and a little more trigger happy

Anyways I love futago siblings bc of the inherent drama to it & the complexity of feelings involved in it. And also I want futaba to suplex akechi in a sibling kind of way. It's not that complicated

#speculation nation #akeshu nation literally pardons him for trying to kill akira Twice #and youre caught up in futaba potentially forgiving him for killing her mom when he was 15 #& context clues tell us that he was likely pressured into killing by shido? #it's not like hes doing this shit for fun. like ok he enjoyed killing okumura bc okumura's a piece of shit capitalist #but besides that. when we get to know him we learn that he wanted to be a hero when he was a kid #& that coupled with the way he acts in 3rd semester really paints a picture #he doesnt start killing again bc he doesnt need to. & Notably he stops trying to kill akira bc shido isnt pushing for that anymore #plus i dont think futaba has to forgive him for them to be friends. it will always be something present in their minds #but in the same sort of way of akira liking akechi enough that hes willing to give him the chance to atone for Shooting Him In The Head #i believe futaba could give him the chance to atone. or at least try to be a better person. #and i just think futaba would enjoy the excuse to limitlessly bully him. #the 'you killed my mom so u cant be mean to me' card. which she would pull a lot im sure #it wouldnt always work. especially if she overused it lol. but still. #and yea idk. i can get being uncomfortable with ppl trying to wave away the fact that he killed her mom #but when it's done right. i think it's quite a compelling relationship. #her seeing herself in him. recognizing the ways they are so painfully alike. & that pain being what pushed him to the lengths he went #her sympathizing with him doesnt mean Forgiveness. it's just a potential basis for connection. #god i just keep going on about this but that person made me literally so angry #dont post ur bad takes in main tag 2k22. i dont wanna fucking read them.
