something happening on a mission, something personal that has soap spiralling; panic and rage making him reckless, thoughtless, and ghost has to draw the line

“you’re compromised johnny; you know what that means?”

“you’re not pulling me out,” soap immediately snarls. he turns on him and ghost barely recognises him; venomous fear turning his eyes to unyielding ice. "you're not sidelining me; i need to be in this-!"

but ghost has never been afraid of venom; spat or dripped straight from bared fangs.

he snakes out a hand grip the back of his neck, jerking him in a rough shake. "if you can't think, you can't be a soldier," he growls and he flinches like he's been struck.

his lips quiver as they twist in a sneer and he wrenches, trying to free himself of his hold.

ghost doesn't let him.

"it means you give your body to me because your head ain't fucking attached to it anymore."

soap stills, body trembling beneath his hand as he sucks in shaking breaths.

he tightens his grip, pulling him closer and digs his forehead hard into his. “it means you give yourself to me so i can have the weapon that you are and use you the way you're meant to be used."

the ice in soap's eyes fractures.

ghost’s voice drops to a whisper, spoken only to johnny, not this facade of vengeance and pain, and wills it to reach him through the glaciers.

“so i can keep you safe ‘til it’s done and i can bring you back.”

#in my head its bc graves abducts his sister and is using her as hostage to draw him out knowing ghost will always follow him #but the intensity and intimacy of saying ‘you cant trust your mind not to betray you so let me be in charge of your body until you can’ #after what happened to tommy he could never deny johnny his right to save his sister #but its bc of what happened to tommy that he knows he cant let him do it alone with only his rage to guide him #hes more likely to get himself killed and ghost wont live through that #so he has to balance it #and the only way he knows how is to completely shut down soap’s mind until hes no more than instinct and muscle memory #if he cant think practically then dont let him think at all #reduce him to a place where he can only follow orders #and when its finally over and his sister is safe and graves is dead #only then will he drag johnny back up to the surface #he’ll do it even if it means dragging him kicking and screaming back to humanity #instead of letting him sink in the depths where nothing hurts. theres no fear down there. no pain. only order #and thats the risk ghost took sending johnny to that place but he only did it bc he would stop at nothing to bring him back #and help him through the after #the breakdown. the rush of panic and rage and relief and anguish johnnys been supressing on his order #it was his word that turned johnny into a ghost #and its his touch that brings him back to the man #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #we’re a team. ghost team #cod #soapghost #ghostsoap #ghost x soap #ghoap #simon ghost riley #ghost cod #john soap mactavish #soap cod

oh damsel we're really in it now

#slay the princess #stp #the damsel #stp the damsel #scribbles #her portraits right before the shifting mound takes her makes my heart hurt #the way she leans into the cup of the hand. so desperate to be palatable and loved but that gentle touch makes her look almost sad #but not entirely despairing just. theres a desperation and pain but also relief #princess i love you. slams my fists against the wall #EDIT: FORGOT THE IMAGE ID WHOOPS. its there now

After rewatching the Thanks For Watching trilogy, I actually have to double down on my controversial opinion: Hunter never having to directly face off against Belos again after Thanks to Them is actually super satisfying and cathartic in an understated, underrated way. He said everything he needed to say after the worst thing that Belos ever did to him, and from then on, he didn't know it yet but he was free. I'm so happy for him.

#he was in so much pain when he was focused on vengeance in FTF. it's such a moment of relief when WAD lets him breathe #the owl house #the owl house hunter #emperor belos #i don't even think hunter's arc was *completely* unscathed by cancellation-induced pacing issues #i think he would've benefitted from more time to sit with flapjack's death and to flesh out the new magic (esp limitations) #(i think they could've spun up an interesting new angle on the disability metaphor if they'd had like... #an A-plot and two B-plots across half a season. give some payoffs to his prior glyph usage maybe) #but with the cancellation they couldn't have given him that time without taking any away from luz (or others but mostly luz) #and to be clear: i think they made the right choice #because hunter is a great character but nonetheless one that the fanbase needs to be reminded is not the protagonist #anyways he might be the TOH character for which the ending stuck the least for me... BUT the fact that i still enjoyed it overall #is really a testament to the crew handling the cancellation in the best way humanly possible. IMO

Me: sometimes it feels like the universe is conspiring against me

My brain: silly fool, you’re not important enough for that to possibly be true

Me: Oh yeah! 😄

Also me: Oh………yeah 🥲

#almost everything that I fear and rage about most has a counterpart like this for me #another example: I’m terrified of death right? #like there’s this one song with the lyrics ‘it’ll all be over soon’ #& when I hear it I cry bc it means this painful life is temporary (relief) AND it also means this beautiful life is temporary (devastating)

its not talked about enough but i realized that i can talk about it. so here i am.

breast soreness when your period is upcoming? happens.

cervical headaches when your period is late? happens.

jumping from a large appetite one day to no appetite at all the next? happens.

but again, if any of the symptoms are troubling you or are new to you, PLEASE visit a doctor. consider it a normal checkup, but please go. take care of yourself because in most cases, you simply dont tell anyone. how much is too much pain? every pain, is simply pain. less pain or more pain doesnt change the fact that its PAIN. PERIOD.

I am here to cause you more pain.

So technically, Amane currently has an overall guilty percentage. (51.66% guilty - 51.32% innocent = 0.34% guilty :(((((( ) Therefore, I am asking what flavor you would add to LCSYS, and how would it differ from Muu, if- *runs away*

*cracks knuckles* *cries*

Okay, so if Amane is one of the final guilties, I have two major directions I’d take Es’ remorse. The first and most prominent are their similarities to one another. Es would reflect on how they really are just about the same age. Both had limited knowledge of the world when arriving in Milgram. Both saw killing the guilty as their duty. I’d make a lot of physical comparisons: when Es sees themselves in the interrogation room mirror they might be struck with the fact that they look as small as her. Maybe their hair has grown out a bit and looks like hers. They’re hit with the thought that the only thing separating themself from Amane really was the clothes they were wearing -- so why did Es alone have the right to choose her fate?

The other, even more evil route that I’d take would be comparing Es to Amane’s mother. I don’t know exactly how executions will go, but something tells me Milgram is going to put us through hell hearing the prisoners’ last words. Es would reflect on Amane’s apologies and pleading, and realize that her mother heard those exact same cries, and ignored them in the exact same way. I’d tie in some Purch March lyrics about Amane’s desperate “I’m sorry” once again going unheard. It wouldn’t be painting Es as a villain per se, but the comparison would communicate that Amane was a victim in her life way more often than she was a perpetrator. That no matter how hard she tried to be a good girl, there would always be someone in front of her ready to punish her for it.

#milgram #lights camera sing your sins #:(((( #my goal is to cause es and the reader maximum pain so that the following section is even more of a relief #though idk -- maybe when it ends and weve all suffered though the finale i may not have it in me to cause any more pain... ;--; #but this better be all hypothetical 👁️👁️ #because youre all voting her inno t3 right 👁️👁️ #right 👁️👁️ #oof ill have to look at the numbers again... i want to work out the percentages for everyone going into t3 #like which ratio is needed to save/condemn each of them if it really is a combination of numbers #tw child abuse

The coolest gender thing in the 2009 Japanese video game persona 3 100% how hard they coded shinjiro as the dead mom

#.txt #i got soooo mad in the car driving home thinking about how his drug addiction is essentially the classic anime heart condition. #in that the only side effect of the suppressants is that they will kill him. like? #i realized for the longest time i had assumed the chest pain and sweating came from the drugs but thats. castor. obviously. #it doesnt affect his mood or his awareness its like a mood stabilizer pain relief pill? #its so odd that hes framed as like. being addicted to illegal street drugs. BY THE NARRATIVE. #when its more like hes on the most insane experimental medication that they wont even test on like. rats. #also im not fact checking any of this before posting. so i might be lying about things. #idk if it was all of strega that had trouble controlling their personas but like. chidori was because of the Experimentation. #and shinjis just like. mentally ill coded. in a bad way 😭 #The inability to regulate a mood/stimuli to the point where he can be unsafe to himself or others. #broad ass symptom of disorders that are not treated well. its also interesting that its not brought on by a specific event. #like the childhood fire is there. but you have akihiko right there to directly compare it to. and hes arguably more effected by it all. #and he seems to be coping well 10+ years on like some coping mechanisms are kind of weird (protein) but nothing super out of the ordinary. #so the problem is really the october 4th incident which was just a pure honest to god accident. #the fact that it gets covered up as a car accident does feel like the best like. emotional equivalent. #because it being shinji being unable to control his persona his true representation of himself and it resulting in death is sooooo bleak #and it weighs on him for 2+ years of being suicidal and unhoused until finally he goes through with his suicide by martyrdom. #i lost the plot a little bit on the gender situation with the vague allusions to fraility when story convenient #acting as dorm den mother and cooking and sewing long hair jacket sillhouette reading like a dress #was referring to that before mental illness took over. woman under the influencing this anime boy. #long way of saying i think he should have a over the shoulder ponytail when hes older. and he should have a mood disorder.

hey quick question I took Advil like. idk 10-15 minutes ago and now my dental pain has kicked up into the sharpest pain on planet earth that radiates into my jaw, other teeth, my upper jaw, my fucking ear and into my temple. is that. a bad thing. should I bring that up to a doctor

edit: addition is that this happened earlier today when I took Panadol on its own well after I took the Advil earlier in the day. I thought it was bc the cold water hit my already sensitive teeth and it freaked out but now it’s happening again so I’m just very confused and in sooooooo so much pain right now

#right this very second after being on the verge of tears #the pain has gone back down to what it was before I took the fuckingn Advil #side note I took Panadol as well afterwards #bc of the severe spike in pain after fucking taking the Advil #and I just. wanted something to work holy shit #like it was so bad taking no pain relief would feel better probably holy fuck #ooc #please help

[caffeinatedopossum]

It would be great if I could validate my own pain so that I can stop needing bad things to happen to me in a way that I find both intrinsically reprehensible and morally disgusting

#why do i STILL feel like i havent gone through enough?? #why do i always need it to be worse #wtf is wrong with me #genuinely don't think i will feel satisfied until someone kills me (perhaps myself) #the way that i will literally fantasize about horrible things happening to me is just. wtf. what the actual fuck. SEEK HELP #i cannot even sum it up by saying 'i think i deserve it' because its *more* than that #i dont *just* deserve it. it feels *right*. it feels correct. everything that doesnt hurt me feels like something i disagree with #when i get 'what i deserve' (horrible painful things) i generally tend to feel real relief from that #relief that i dont feel from anything else #how are you supposed to tell me i dont deserve it then??

[suffarustuffaru]

Im the rem x otto anon, so just to be clear bc i dont think i was in that ask

Rem is an amazing character and has a key role in the story, her character arc in arc 1 and 2 was amazing. BUT after she falls in love with Subaru, i feel that everything we saw of her gets sorta of erased? Its not the same Rem, and even though she did go through a major cathartic event, i think her character could have taken another direction than of being resumed as Subaru's love interest (when she is not fighting)

I feel tappei wasted some potential, bc i wanted to see her being confident about herself without the Subaru obsession (and we got this on arc 7 and 8 and i loved it)

oh yo hello again!! :o and oohh ok i think i kinda see what you mean? bc i do agree. (also my bad im gonna ramble again aljdflsj but i thought this topic is pretty interesting :o)

ok so. while i know the whole point of rems development in arc 3 is that while she means well, shes ultimately developed an unhealthy devotion to subaru, i still feel like arc 3 rem kind of. narratively speaking, i feel like her arc 2 traits and all her traits pre-subaru get kind of flattened. or ignored?? im not quite sure how to explain this but ill try my best aljdflsd. like ok this is complicated to talk about bc yeah rems arc as it is does serve a purpose, and arc 2 rem was different bc she was operating off of what she knew at the time and she only knew subaru as a stranger and/or enemy at first. her arc 2 to arc 3 development was rem trying to move on from her fixation on ram, but in the process ends up moving that fixation to subaru. but i do wish that tappei emphasized her personhood outside of subaru more EVEN WHILE she was placing her whole life around him. bc thats exactly what tappei does when hes writing otto.

otto as a character is a whole fleshed out person, and if you cut away all the parts that have to do with subaru, otto the character still stands on his own. with rem, the moment you hit arc 3, everything pre-arc 3 kind of. fades away, almost? of course its not that rem cant stand on her own as a character. the rem and ram prequel novel for example takes place from rems pov and shes absolutely fascinating throughout the entire story. but when you look at arc 3 rem and compare her to pre-arc 3 rem, i feel like tappei forgets to still show her outside of subaru. i feel like the narrative needs to call out rem a bit more for her unhealthy behavior bc tappei doesnt hold back when it comes to someone like otto. so where is the equal treatment for rem....??

i do feel like theres smth to be said about the writing being a little more neutral when rems doing smth Unhealthy bc of her subaru obsession. its fascinating. we have to read into it. but also then tappei turns around and takes the time to shit on otto for doing subaru obsession things and also tappei shits on subaru for being obsessive too and its like. tappei ............ what about rem........

roswaal too is another character whos big motivation is devotion for a love interest (yeah ok i know i too am metaphorically crying and vomiting at the idea of calling echidna a love interest for roswaal but that IS how he sees her) but he also stands on his own as a character even if you ignore everything connecting him to echidna. with roswaal and otto you get a good balance of them being Heavily connected to the people theyre respectively devoted to while also being able to stand on their own Narratively. bc i know the whole point of roswaal, otto, rem, etc is that theyre Dependent and Obsessed, but writing wise, they should still be able to take the spotlight when the spotlight is on them even when the person theyre devoted to has nothing to do with it.

and when you have multiple characters whos motivation is being Dependent and Obsessed, the differences are gonna be a bit stark. its a very fine line to walk with characters like this bc you cant have Everything about them revolve around another character. but also thats the point at the same time. its a very Very thin line to walk. subaru himself is also/was a Dependent and Obsessed character and like. well we all know how nuanced subaru is as a character. you could write essays and essays on him alone.

rem though, i feel, gets a little too flattened into the role of subarus love interest, but at the same time i can sort of forgive it for arc 3 bc of the plot beats being one after the other and her general Purpose in the story. but at the same time i really do wish tappei still emphasized WHO SHE IS outside of subaru. bc even while someone like otto is thinking about subaru A Lot (see: the ottos diary shorts, aka the episodes where ALMOST EVERY DAMN SHORT is about subaru), you still get a sense of ottos personality. hes analytical but easily flustered. he does get a little jealous. hes anxious and a bit of a coward. but also hes so brave when it really counts. hes in denial about how much he cares about people sometimes, even when its abundantly clear. hes practical but kind of emotional at the same time?? hes very perceptive. but also he can be a little dumb with perceiving himself and his own feelings bc of the aforementioned Denial and also theres the fact that he doesnt know Why he gets jealous of emilia talking about subaru. but also hes pretty smart with reading other people and their emotions. but at the same time hes a little egocentric at times and overly focuses on himself and forgets things like how other people actually perceive him. but at the same time hes focused on how people see him bc hes a merchant. thats the basis of his job. and also he has anxiety so he does care about that. etc etc.

rem in arc 3 though is like. shes soft sweet protective caring loyal....................... which is nice and all but its definitely a big difference from arc 2 rem and pre-arc 3 rem in general where we see a whole RANGE of different traits, emotions, etc. like even in her relationship with ram theres complexities - theres the envy, theres the kind of "debt" that she owes ram for saving her life, the kind of brief sick burst of joy that ram lost her horn and is now "equal" to rem in status, the guilt from feeling that way, but also is her life even worth Anything if shes not making herself useful, etc etc. and also - yes the softness the loyalty etc etc is part of rem. a crucial part of rem that she shows to her loved ones (ram and subaru) the most. but yeah as you said anon - arc 7 and 8 was really fascinating bc we finally get to see her outside of her fixation on subaru. i mean one example is that we see her act Cold in some parts of arc 2 and the coldness does carry over a bit in some parts of arc 7 (see: rem being mean about natsumi, rem defending herself against subaru bc being an amnesiac she used to just see subaru as Some Guy who was acting a little too chummy with her, etc etc).

but also in general. its nice to see her stand more on her own now. i do wish though that tappei emphasized her more even while she was deep in the subaru obsession, bc tappei has made MULTIPLE characters with similar plot beats to her and they were still very nuanced and complex :o !! not that rem isnt that bc she HAS all this depth and i adore her for that!! but shes definitely a little lacking in a few areas of her writing, imo. i am however interested to see where she goes in arc 8 for sure!!

#rezero #rem #otto suwen #yeah ig ill tag him i talked abt him a bit lajsdldfd #ask #not that arc 3 rem didnt have her ups and downs but like. her despair her pain her anger etc is all through the lens of her sacrificing #herself for subaru. which again yeah thats the point but wish we got a little more o.OO but also i suppose personally i find plotlines with #people Devoted to others in this way super interesting. but yeah again like i said. wish tappei added a bit of extra Something to rems arc #plot. bc u got subaru roswaal otto etc who have some similar plot beats and theyre. a bit more nuanced than arc 3 rem is. #like yeah ok subarus the mc and all but tappei did a bit of a better job with ottos plotline than he did with rems imo. i have to wonder if #that slightly factored into people ignoring the bad parts of rems devotion in arc 3 and go right to aw cute girl whod do anything for me :) #and also sloth if. #happened. like how do subaru and rem live with themselves knowing they left everyone for dead. its a relief that they didnt accidentally #pass on some of their trauma to their kids when theres like no therapy in the fantasy world lajdflsd #arc 7-8 spoilers
