the reason there is no couple therapy in the heavenly realm is bc the therapist would go crazy withing 2 days considering immortals have the communication skills of 5 yr olds
If everyone in the Plex were to believe that Gregory dropped Cassie at the end of Ruin to keep himself from being found, whether he did it or not, wouldn't that make Roxy to one most able to understand him?
As Mimic's guard dog, surely she would know the lengths you have to go through to keep that fucker trapped. A whole team of Raceway construction workers went straight to their deaths down there. Roxy won't let the Raceway be repaired and re-opened in order to keep people safe. She's probably been able to see Mimic and its victims through the floor this entire time, she knows what it can do and what it's done, even if she doesn't know the full extent of it.
She's willing to sacrifice her Raceway and Salon to keep people from finding Mimic. Her pride and joys, basically her whole reason for being built in the first place. They're not worth the risk to her.
Whether Gregory sacrificed Cassie to keep Mimic trapped or not, surely Roxy would realise some sort of similarity. She may think doing that to Cassie was too far, she may think he's a monster for even considering it and she may feel as though nothing could justify what he did... But there's a part of her that gets it. The absolute terror that comes at the slightest possibility that Mimic could escape. She gets that sacrifices have to made, fuck she's made those sacrifices herself. She would never have sacrificed someone for this, that's why she ran headfirst at Mimic instead of just sealing the exits again, but there could be that tiny little part of her that feels the need to constantly to remind her that Gregory was trying to do the same thing she was.
The key difference here, is that if Gregory had done it, it would fall in line with almost everything else we've seen him do. The sacrifices he makes, are of other people, and not himself. He sacrificed Roxy, Chica and Monty to upgrade Freddy for his safety and possibly the safety of Vanessa. If he also dropped Cassie, then he's once again sacrificing someone else for the sake of his own safety. Not like he has that much else to lose, but I'm drawing comparisons here.
Roxy on the other hand, sacrifices herself. She sacrificed her Raceway and her Salon for the benefit of both herself and others. Unlike Gregory finding himself in a hopeless situation and hurting others to get out of it, Roxy was given this job (probably) and chose to give up what little she has in the world to keep the situation from happening. Even when Cassie deactivates her and ends up face to face with Mimic, Roxy jumps straight at it to buy her time to escape which could have easily killed her.
So now you have Roxy, who unfortunately does understand Gregory's choice to drop Cassie (if she believes he did it which yeah she probably does) but has absolutely no sympathy for him. She couldn't care less about him. There's potentially a fearful little voice in her head that she's the same as Gregory that fuels her anger towards him even more. She hasn't ever sacrificed someone else to keep the Mimic at bay and she's been doing it for fuck knows how long, what gives Gregory a free pass? Maybe if he hadn't stolen her fucking eyes she would have been able to stop the whole thing from getting that far anyway!
I'm not saying this to frame Gregory as a villain or anything. I don't think he dropped Cassie and I still think it was entirely Freddy's fault for what happened to the others in SB. I just think this is interesting from a character stand point. The one person that could understand the choices they've made to keep Mimic from escaping is each other, but they're both too hateful of each other for it to affect anything... If they were ever to settle their differences, I think it would have to start here. The only common ground they share, is the one thing no one else does.
But Gregory didn't even fucking do it so I bet that goes well lmao
getting sooooo emotional abt how like. when rick and bp meet again during the federation stuff its like theyre completely different ppl from who they were when they last saw each other. but it almost makes them become closer instead of driving them apart… until of course their values clash in the worst possible way

Some of my favourite 87 Shredder and Krang episodes are the ones where Krang has an actual world domination plan he’s trying to pull off but the entire time Shredder is just like
“But can we kill the turtles? Can we pleeeeaaaaaaseeeeee kill the turtles?”
Like sir your husband is in the middle of something you can kill the turtles in your own time
it's so interesting to think about grace as heaven considering jesse's existence. like in a way, that makes him her connection to the mortal world, which honestly doesn't feel that far off?? even in spite of the fact that he's literally a ghost
I had a whole response to this written out and the app :) deleted :) it :)
anyway let's try this again. Grace (and James) both have notable otherworldly aspects to them, they do not fit into the mortal world completely and instead stand outside it to a degree. their grandness erodes away at their humanity, and they both regard themselves as almost... unimportant. neither of them really care what happens to them, hence why they both turn down Magnus's offer of help. they both regard themselves with a detached careless (James's general behaviour in tmh; "I am my mother's blade")
however! Grace does deeply care about Jesse. even in tmh, despite what she says and Magnus thinks, I don't think Grace cares about Tatiana. she's working with her because they have the same goal, and since she can't tell Magnus her true reasons for staying, she comes off of caring for Tatiana (although I think her relationship to Tatiana is an entirely different complicated matter). Grace would stand even further apart from everything else if it wasn't for Jesse, her one true tie to the mortal world. Jesse on the other hand desperately wants to be apart of the mortal world, and is hanging on by his fingernails to it. even though he deeply disapproves of the methods preventing his death, he also is graceful for them (...ignore canon a bit okay). he can't fully condone them because he wants to live so badly, and there something very human about that. like he too is standing off to the side of the world but unlike Grace and James he hasn't resigned to his fate; he's fighting it as best he can.
In retrospect, the Starlords fucked this one up themselves, by placing three of their most powerful artefacts, on the only planet in our solar system that can sustain life.
Why do they say dragon is luffy's father but doesn't look much like him... I mean it is true but why point it out... in that way he doesn't look like garp either
The moment i realised that claw machines are made to work against you is when my autistic•adhd brain first had to face the inherent corruption of this world and i have not felt satisfaction ever since then
