you know what really hurts me? the way that rdr2 perfectly encapsulates one of the biggest questions victims of emotional abuse ask themselves when they realize they're being abused: 'have they always been like this and i just never noticed or did they change at some point?'

we don't see dutch pre-rdr2. we only see him after his downward spiral has already begun, so that leaves us to wonder how long he was like this. when did he stop being the dutch that arthur remembers? the one that took from the rich to give to the poor?

was dutch ever that person? were his intentions ever pure or was he just fueling his narcissism by becoming this 'savior' to the outcasts of society?

arthur's situation/relationship with dutch is so unique and yet such a relatable conflict and that hurts me deeply

retrospective

I think sometimes that shadow thinks back about his time on the ark with maria, and with gerald. and that some of his memories of gerald aren't great. and that now, with the knowledge of what gerald did to him after maria's death, some of those memories may mean something different with that new context. he doesn't like thinking about it

rafe taking time out of his criminal schedule to be a big brother and lecture wheezie about overstuffing her suitcase was so funny and cute to me like he’s such a big brother skddjdn “anymore problems you want me to solve for you?” crying

it ever hit you out of nowhere that castiel is living in a dead guy's body and the show just does not care. it does not care. jimmy novak might as well not exist the moment he or claire is out of sight. cas stole a guy's body and his face and his life, and we can't ever talk about it or discuss it in detail because of how fucking horrifying it is that sam and dean's best friend just walks around in a dead guy suit. there's not even a human soul in there anymore. it's just a corpse. stone-cold body snatcher indeed.

#castiel spn #spn #this is not like a Castiel Crime (tm) to be clear. this is more me being (un)surprised that the show is Like This. #castiel is a horror story he is so much a horror story in the rapture #and then they just uh. never bring up again how horrifying and fucked up this is for another like 7 seasons #and when they do its to briefly go :( claire lost her dad :) but its okay! she forgives cas for it! #which!! NO SHE SHOULD FUCKING NOT!!! #but we can't have that discussion. we can't talk about that. because to acknowledge that it's fucked up would mean making cas kind of. evil #in a way that would vastly improve his later character arcs btw. if we had to reckon with not only this massive transgression #but with the fact that cas himself STILL DOESN'T SEE IT AS ONE. #that on a lot of fundamental levels. he is still functioning as he did in s4. a lot of that base programming is still there. #something something how cas never changes out of his suit under his trenchcoat #but it's like. jimmy said yes. so it's fine. that's what it is to him. #anyway. i wish they hadn't been scared of making all three of the boys more fucked up in later seasons. #thank GOD for dean being interesting in how he becomes Worse <3 because they were not bringing that for castiel. #again. good version of spn where jimmy's bloodline is an off-shoot of the lucifer vessel bloodline. explaining a) how lucifer Got In There #and b) letting lucifer possess claire later so that the two of them can have daddy issues together. #something about cas being the monster-not monster that jimmy let in that destroyed his life. #something about lucifer being the monster-not monster that castiel lets in later. the cycles. they are cycling.

What can I say? They're my favorite.

#twdg #twdg clouis #clouis #twdg clementine #twdg louis #sometimes they creep back into my mind and i'm like 'ah yes' like a crow admiring a pretty stone they found years ago and kept #also thank you pi for the screenshots. i used to have a whole folder full of them but that was when i was doing themed nights #the source for these is me i just have a random document full of dynamics and ship things i enjoy because.....i dunno i like keeping track #and so many of them apply to clouis but there's also an overlap of with clouis and rose/alistair [my warden from origins and alistair] like #alistair's romance route is like an evolved matured and extended version of clouis sksksks gee i wonder if i have a type #look you present me with a character who deflects with humor and isn't taken seriously by the rest of the group and the longer you know the #the more you realize how high they've built a wall around themselves and how *unwell* they really are and how they're not as sunshine #as they present themselves and also they avoid leadership and responsibility until they grow closer with someone who pushes them #and they end stronger and more balanced as a person while finding the affection they've craved #and also there's the daddy issues #present me with that character as a romantic option and i'm in no questions asked okay i don't want the mean broody one that's meh to me #i want the one that has every reason to be broody but chooses not to be because they have a completely different defense mechanism #and a warped sense of themselves and self-esteem issues they leave unaddressed until forced to face them #i'm just saying i'm aware that i have a type i'm always going to gravitate toward clouis nearly checks all the boxes #also the lack of clouis these days? my crops are thirsty and i have too many ongoing projects to do anything about it other than this sksks #so until i make time to finish my long ass louis/clouis analysis this is the best i can provide for now

On one hand the Slade design is REALLY funny because it’s such a total subversion of his intended design and is pissing off his diehard fans that thinks he’s the shit but on the other hand it completely fucks with the timeline and removes his absent father dilf swag that makes his character so interesting in the first place

#my adventures with superman #deathstroke #slade wilson #modern day deathstroke stands out bc 'ohhh mercenary that used to be military and has Issues' has been done like. a thousand times #(before anyone says anything YES i know deadpool was inspired by deathstroke I Get It) #but a mercenary that causes immense daddy issues? that had his ex wife shoot out his eye? thats your regular ol piece of shit? #the guy that has people pause and go 'oh wow i understand why your family left you LMAO' #thats fun #theres a reason his main enemies are the teen titans alright #this slade wilson has none of that. this slade wilson is just a common bitch #HOWEVER #i will say that this allows for a really interesting character arc of him Losing It All #other people have pointed that out and i will bow to that. and that if this show already has a s2 confirmed then its probably has its own #timeline going on. i will respect that

You ever cry about Castiel, taking the initiative to leave and waiting for Dean to stop him—thinking he's done enough, he isn't actually family, his past sins outweigh his good intentions or proceeding actions so it's better to go now before they snap at him to do so; and Dean, who's resigned himself to the idea that everyone is going to leave him, that it's inevitable and there's no point in asking Castiel to stay because that's the forced way to do things, that if he wanted to stay with Dean, he would.

They could have loved each other, they already fit one another so well, it's just all this miscommunication and these misunderstandings burying what they've been wanting from the very first fucking season they met.

#AND WE PARTIALLY HAVE THEIR DADS TO BLAME FOR IT #literally who the hell made dean perceive people as “should be protected/made proud” but also “will leave me at some point” #who ignored cas' pleas for help. who fucked up the writing of the story. who kept pushing cas back to the winchesters and pulled him away #ah yes supernatural: the show of daddy issues. asshole fathers and homophobia #i fucking hate it here #insane show for insane people #supernatural #spn #dean winchester #castiel #spn dean #spn cas #destiel #deancas #casdean #dean studies #cas studies

I've been totally side tracked from the oliver x felix fic I'm writing becaaaause of all the oliver x (pretty much every) Catton inspo posts. Like imagine Lord James died when Venetia and Felix where like 10-12. And most of the boyfriends that Elspeth has after that are all like boring hedge fund manager or bank wanker types in their fifties, it rarely lasts and they don't even make it through a week during the summer at Saltburn. So Felix and Venetia never bother making much of an effort.

Then during the summer after Felix's first year of Oxford Elspeth has mid thirties boytoy Oliver staying for the summer. And Felix is appalled at the idea of mother having a boyfriend that's closer to his own age (Venetia: "he's fucking not Felix Jesus he's fifteen years older than you" Felix: "shut up Vee it's still fucking weird" Venetia: "obsessed much"). And Oliver runs around topless in the burning heat while he does laps round the estate and is alway lying around sunbathing and Felix is just salivating while totally ignoring the poor boy he's brought home that summer.

And Oliver reaches out an olive branch to Felix because he's really keen that they be friends ("like you're a grown man Felix I'm not going to try and be your daddy or anything") and Felix is like "cool but also I kind of want you to be my daddy."

Then Venetia and Farleigh hook up with Oliver because they can't help but be drawn to his charm but a la the movie it doesn't go well and it's all a strategy to get to Felix.

And when Oliver finally gets Felix, fucking him through the grief of losing his mother he's so ecstatic, "i fucked where you came from, now i get to fuck you."  

I mean I sort of feel this is how older Oliver would have played his original plan from the movie.

#saltburn #fic ideas #cattonquick #felix x oliver #yes I may have wrote 4000 words of just dialogue for this #but honestly I have enough to get on with #and low key it is pretty dark and quite predatory on Oliver's part idk #I've not gone full daddy kink either I just like the psychosexual suggestion of daddy kink / issues #if anyone else feels inspired to do their own take please do #you'll probably get something finished sooner than me lol

Thinking about 19th century courting rules today. Specifically abt Edward Little asking Crozier before proposing making his suit to Jopson

#Jopson: yeah he’s me dad but if he came in one day and was like hey fuck me hard over the wardroom table. i wouldn’t say no #little who has his own daddy issues: I think I hauve scurvy will you marry me #psychosexually normal men 💖 #but also. for serious. little asking crozier as a way to tell him how much he (crozier) means to jopson #as a promise that crozier will still be just as dear to them both in the future #as a question of his (Little’s) own worth in Crozier’s eyes #do you trust me to take care of him too? i hope so dad I mean captain #mine #the terror amc #the terror #joplittle #jopzier #thomas jopson #edward little #francis crozier #yes this is a ‘homophobia doesn’t exist’ au leave me olone #YES I know that the rules of courting would be VERY DIFFERENT in a world w/o homophobia #I am having fun in my dollhouse

Braindumping about Silco and Vi, because these two are such fantastic narrative foils for each other—and, in the same breath, completely cut from the same cloth.

I keep wishing they had more scenes together, another square-off, something to put them head-to-head—because there's so much potential for them to counteract the layers of each other.

At the root of it all, Vander's looming between them, this monolith of a presence that ties their pasts together. But above that, still, we have Jinx—who not only is their driving tension, but their greatest possibility for reconnection.

Here, we have Vander's daughter—someone who, for all intents and purposes, has become what he wanted, but who has also been someone he saw too much of himself in; who he did his best to reshape, instead of enable, and who put him on a pedestal, and truly saw him as hers, more than perhaps anyone (except, well, Silco).

Vi treasured Vander, fully looked up to him as her father—and losing him shattered her. In between all the layers of it, there's this underlying thread in his actions towards her, a tension that just sits with her through Act 1—Do as I say, not as I do (or, rather, as I did).

Here, we also have Vander's partner—someone who knew him before, knew what he was, what he resented, and what he became, instead; and who bears the scars of what all their fallout grew to be. Someone who holds the memory of him tangibly, in multiple respects, as though it is something he physically cannot sever: Vander's knife, the Drop—and even, in some ways, Jinx.

Silco is still clinging to the idea of Vander, throughout the entire series. To the potential in their reunion at the cannery; to the reassurance of what he knew him to be (I knew you still had it in you; Vander wasn't the man you thought he was); to this need he has to still speak to him, even after everything.

But Vi was raised with the burden of being the eldest; being the one most capable of providing protection—and, as a consequence, with the burden of responsibility.

She's not only a sister to Jinx. She's a guardian to her—and in many respects, a stand-in mother. And Silco, as a surrogate father, is standing right in the middle of that. A roadblock between "Powder," as Vi knows her sister as, and "Jinx," as Silco knows his daughter to be.

Right at the forefront, we have so much conflict here. Vi is so similar to Vander, to the point that she is nearly his spirit incarnate—so much so that having her resurface from a presumed grave just sets fuel to fire for a vendetta Silco has never been able to snuff out.

But beneath that—far beneath that—they have so much in common. Vi's headstrong rebuttals in Act 1 about going against Piltover and striking them down, about being made to feel lesser her whole life and needing to fight against it, just sings with Silco's anger in the cannery (You'd die for the cause, but you won't fight for one?).

These are two kindred spirits, two revolutionaries willing to do anything for their city and those they love, and who aren't afraid to fight for it. Who want to fight for it.

But trapped between it all, we have Jinx. Someone Vi is not willing to sacrifice (i.e., her memory of Powder), and who Silco, by the end of the series, isn't willing to sacrifice, either (i.e., his loyalty to Jinx).

Vi, of course, could never fathom Silco being a father to Powder (how could she, after he is the reason Vander was taken from her?)—and looks for justifications for her hatred, in everything he does.

But the unfortunate truth of the matter is that for all Vander cherished and nurtured Vi as a vision of himself—so has Silco, to Jinx. He sees himself in her. He has empowered her, cherished her. He is so incredibly tender with her, in his own ways. And—for all his absolute faults, his skewed morals, his tunnel-visioned zealousy to achieve Zaun—he is a good father to Jinx, just as Vander was a good father to Vi.

The question I keep finding myself mulling over, though, is whether these two could find elements of that, once again, in each other.

There are so many things Silco isn't—not only in Vander's shadow, but simply in the character that he is. He doesn't come in swinging; he plots, he strategizes, he fights with words. He isn't a warm presence, or a jovial one; he's chilling, he's dry, he's distanced. There are countless contradictions one can draw between the two of them—and so many layers one can tease apart, on how their opposites attracted each other, how they worked (a balance that will no longer ever be).

But there are so many things Silco is. He's critical, he's fiercely rational, he knows how to weave a crowd around his finger with a single intonation. He admires the outcasts, the scrappers, those that have dredged through society to claw for what they can. He surrounds himself with them—and he operates alongside them, as an equal as much as an usurper.

He's a flavor of parenthood Vi didn't receive, but could have—the one that would have validated her need to fight; who would have taught her that strength comes in numbers, not in one's single ability to protect; who would have seen her snarkiness, her quick wit on her feet, and taught her to use it to her leverage.

The tragedy of the whole series is that Jinx needs them both to have balance in her life—to keep the tether of her child self and her trauma from splitting her apart at the seams—yet for Silco and Vi, as the narrative destines them for (and as it destined Silco and Vander for), any semblance of a connection between them is doomed for destruction.

There's too much they hold fiercely to themselves, in their own traumas, that they cannot set down—even for the sake of Jinx's needs. They are equally selfish, in that way. They want the version of Vander that they are not willing to let go of; and they want the version of Jinx that they know her to be.

But they could change. They could.

Silco did, by the end. Chose his daughter, his legacy, over the cause, over his vision of progress. And Vi did, too. Chose "peace," chose to set down the gauntlets, chose politics (and—arguably—complacency, in the same way Vander did) as the path forward.

But what if they set it all down, for Jinx? What if they became what she needed, on both sides? A father who sees her, nurtures her, like Vander saw and nurtured Vi—and a sister who loves and protects her, like Vi loved and protected Powder; who could learn, maybe, to love and protect "Jinx," too?

And maybe—just maybe—Silco and Vi could learn to appreciate each other, for all their surface hatreds. Find mentorship, find balance again, in each other. And through it, Vi could learn that protection, responsibility, isn't the only quality to strive for. That even she can be nurtured again, too.
