haymitch’s actor in the new thg lowkey giving river

#he doesn’t have curly hair but bro looks sad and blonde enough

river hearing the voices of the people his father's killed and buried on the property whispering to him, when he's locked in the basement sometimes as a child for punishment. seeing forms in the pitch darkness. or barely there in the moonlight through the boarded up window. a person almost entirely obscured in the dark with their arms wrapped around their knees whispering i just want to go home, i just want to go home. or just the sound of muffled crying, like it's in the walls. or someone trying to speak to him but they can't make more than choked noises. just some fun imagery! is the property haunted or are u just going crazy in the solitude and the dark????

also baby river pocketing fallen items of the person's he finds left in the Bad Room down there. taking it to their fresh grave in the crawlspace to put it with them so that maybe they'll know someone remembered them. you know.

#yes black phone made me think about this #falk obviously has a harder time controlling river now that he's older and has broken away once but #he still scares the shit out of river and he probably would still throw him down there to teach him a lesson haha...#all my homies hate sheriff falk

hmmm i just think yk... river and belonging nowhere, but he belongs to and with his friends, now. bc as far as he knows, his real parents didn't want him and gave him away. and the community they all grew up in shunned him for one reason or another. whether they did or didn't say it to his face, it's always like oh i'm different and that's bad, and maybe even evil? and his 'dad' would, in fact, kill him/throw him to the wolves to save his own skin and river's always known that. like constantly living on thin ice with someone that's supposed to love and take care of you.

and his friends and him are all each other have now. they're all running from something or misunderstood/lost in some way. but river would do anything for them. he'll fight for them because what reason has anyone else ever given him? who else has loved him unconditionally? you know??? he loves them!!!

#like... yk... his friends are the only ones who have ever loved him without expecting something from him or hurting him #he'll be standing with them even if and when things start to fall apart #and even if everyone turns against them bc like what else is new!

well all the humans in the grove can hate him he guesses but what matters are the little tiefling kids the gang has saved and that they think he’s cool and he can make them smile

#he knows what it’s like to be uprooted and how scary that is and how people look at tieflings #i hope some of the scrappy little kids in the grove are like :O bc river dresses real alternative and draws More attention to his differenc #anyway… river thankful for his friends #doesnt matter what anyone else says

the idea of bg3 river just hauling around this massive cursed sword and he wants to destroy it bc it belongs to his father and it’s Evil Sword but then it bonds itself to him and well. now dad’s mad AND the sword is haunting m

ok i think we solved it

#although what we havent solved is what class to make him #probably gonna spec him as a tank you know how i like to be #imagine being the only tiefling in an entire village of elves like huh. hm.#falk still kidnapped him in this verse but his family was probably in those traveling groups of tieflings ):#couldn't stay in one place too long without getting chased out so river wouldn't know where to start looking for them

the concept of river getting bit by a snake as a kid as a little 'test' from the pastor (proof he has 'good' in him bc he can get bitten by a 'poisonous' snake and live etc etc just cult things) and then later coming back with snakebite piercings,

#he's like i hope i piss you all off and some of u think im the devil #aren't you tired of being manipulated and gaslit by all guardian figures in ur life???#don't you just want to crash out?#don't you just want to start calling your fake dad by his first name to start problems

why do you haunt your house? -- to tell your story

you're a desperate ghost. the people in your home can't seem to hear you, but you need them to. so you grow louder, bolder, and more obvious. but if they do notice, they don't listen. instead, they leave. you can't move on to the afterlife until someone tells your story. you just don't want to be forgotten. when you were alive, you were always running around, working, trying to earn everything── even if it was offered freely. as a ghost, you only turn it up a notch. you can't let your hard work go to waste. if you're forgotten, it's like you were never here. like you never mattered. i hope you remember that you do matter. that even if you can't save the world, you can help your little corner of it. i hope you let yourself rest. you deserve it.

#haha oh #it is like that huh #it's desperation to have someone #anyone #remember him. tell the truth about him. there were so many times people could have helped him in his life and they just didn't #oh to scream and no one ever hears #and yk... he wants his story told but more than that he would want every other victim of the sheriff's story told lmao #'like you were never here / like you never mattered' is taking me out. his erased identity in so many ways

i do keep thinkin about river and if he ever gets to find his real family again…. and how after like 11-12 years, they don’t even know you. what do you even say. the last time they saw you you were just small. do you just hope they’ll believe it’s you? that they’ll somehow Know? that they even want to see you? (your whole life you were told they didn’t want you and they gave you up) do you just want to ask them why? or if it’s true? if they didn’t give you up, did they even look for you? did they miss you? what if you’re some kind of disappointment somehow now, like too damaged to be wanted or taken back?

#i do think it’s hard and i do think he leaves again #it’s hard and he doesn’t belong even if his family is loving toward him and so thankful to find him again

hands u him: baby punk

i do just sort of think river expects to die in harlan if he can’t get out. and he knows it’s gonna be his dad. and i also just sort of think there are a lot of times the sheriff thinks about it, gets close to going through with it. mostly he just goes out and kills someone else, instead.

#i also think. like river knows what the sheriff is at some point. he does bad shit to people. and he’s done bad shit to river #but at the same time it’s like. that’s the only family river thinks he has. he loves him and the sheriff loves him in his fucked up #volatile way. but river’s like 16 when he starts trying to run away. while still feeling guilty #trauma response of growing up relying on someone who also does you harm #and a lot of complexities in the sheriff making river an accessory in his crimes And Then Religious Trauma? much to unpack #also a little bit of abigail hobbs ykwim

me after watching the stupid terrifier movie: river with religious imagery scars for the vibes. river with palm scars

#think his dad gave him a cigarette or a lighter burn on his hand once bc he sucks and is a freak #and think the harlan locals who come to hate river later (and believe he is Evil) jump him and take a knife to his other hand #the carving a cross into his hand gets interrupted but river finishes the upside-down cross himself lol lmao #like oooookay you want an antichrist u want a scapegoat u want a devil in your flock? we can get real dramatic i guess!#river is so over it #but also it upsets him that he can’t play guitar for a while after his hand was injured

hauntlngs

me posting my comm here as a little keepsake. art is by akuchoi. <3

#screaming crying throwing up about how much i luv this

and if river was at camp crystal lake he would also be loading a gun to fight jason and making eye contact with tommy like wym there's another traumatized blonde with a statement jacket here. i think he would also survive but at what cost. on account of his final boy genes

#river has a bit of my tommy characterization to him i think #natural final boy guardian type who would go back into the thick of it to protect people from something he deems His Responsibility

the adoptive punk rocker found family in question

#please imagine this but slightly more grungy scraggly garage band core
