i have SUCH boys brainrot (if that much is not obvious)

and i just. s1 + s2 made the parallels between hughie's relationship with annie and his relationship with butcher VERY significant and obvious and then s3 really pulled the classic "they're brothers actually!! no homo" maneuver

my heart is a chainsaw, pt. 2.

dialogue prompts from my heart is a chainsaw by stephen graham jones.

don’t take this wrong, but i don’t think i’ve ever talked to anyone like you.

why do you want to kill everybody?

i could like you, i think.

speaking of names…

is there any reason not to tell me?

every house has a story.

what you don’t know doesn’t matter so much.

smoking doesn’t make you stupid, just dead.

i forgot the world could ever be like this.

i feel like i’ve finally found home.

cruel and unusual.

not supposed to run with scissors.

it doesn’t matter what i do and don’t hope.

there’s supposed to be coffee and pistachios.

everything’s deadly in the wrong hands, with the right intent.

there’s only so much a mind can take.

it’s deeper than love or hate.

you’re running away, aren’t you?

i couldn’t sleep thinking about you alone.

is this what it’s like, having a best friend?

lavender makes you think purple thoughts.

is it really winning if everybody dies?

you have a vocabulary on you.

i know you’re not ready, but you have to be.

your first job is to survive.

smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.

anything can happen, and is probably about to.

it’s dangerous as hell and twice as hot.

you’re you and that’s great.

we’ve all got daddy issues, right?

this is a tragedy, but it’s real. it doesn’t have to follow any rules.

my therapist says it’s unhealthy to leave a narrative incomplete.

i guess i thought i already was dead, sort of.

it’s too late for me to be a good person.

death is not soft and easy at all.

in the water, it’s not really crying.

“Okay, tilt your head to the right, now tilt your head to the left.” I had no idea what he was trying to get at until I saw the movie and I said, “Oh, how cool, it looks like I’m admiring my kill.”

some 2 am john marston braindump

john and arthur are the epitome of the golden child/scapegoat (respectively), until john became dutch’s scapegoat. john’s never been academically inclined but has always been cunning and skeptical. have lots of thoughts but i do definitely think that the stark age difference between dutch and john (dutch is 30-ish when he takes john in vs being only mid-20s when arthur is taken in) + the fact that dutch is quite literally the only father john has ever known makes this even more apparent. dutch is arthur’s father-figure but he’s always had hosea; while hosea's always been a paternal presence to john there’s always been an intrinsic bond between john and dutch. dutch taught everything john he knows about gunslinging and hunting and fishing, areas where john excels compared to arthur. arthur’s ‘i just always thought everything came easy to you’ makes me :(((

their sibling dynamic means sm to me n they both deserved better when it came to their pasts fr, but john genuinely cannot conceptualize any sort of family outside of the gang which is why he leaves, understanding dutch’s true nature before anyone really does (+also being a deadbeat dad), then comes back a year later.

john's unable to cope with his grief over arthur's death, and when the opportunity arises to get revenge on micah, he gets tunnel vision and eagerly takes it. of course, this is at the cost of his own life as his actions would have dire consequences; but there's no way it wasn't, at least in a small way, what he wanted. after spending years purposely creating chaos to emulate his life in the gang, he's proved he's unable to fully move on from the past.

as for high/low honor, my john is probably medium, teetering very close to low honor and is outright dishonorable while working for ross.. while i think arthur’s story and arc is about redemption, john’s has always been about survival. he’s never quite believed he’s had a choice. some trees flourish, others die. and he’s done whatever it takes for his family, whether said family is the van der linde gang, arthur, or abigail and jack, to live and thrive even if it’s all been in vain, and even if it’s involved doing the worst things a person can do. also a habit he’s learned from dutch, lmao.

speaking of which - so many of the toxic, manipulative habits and tendencies he’s taken on as a father are learned from dutch and somewhat unlearned in beecher’s hope with jack. a large part of their tragedy is that the day john died is the day that he and jack were finally on the same wavelength. they'd spent so long misunderstanding one another.

also – my john is blind in his left eye, with some light perception, and by 1911 regularly wears an eyepatch to aid in gunslinging and hunting. the visual impairment occurred as a result of being attacked by wolves in 1899; it also means he has no depth perception and is susceptible to being ambushed by those who know about it (looking at javier for throwing that box on top of him in rdr1, lmao). it has helped him as a gunslinger, though.

moreover. my john's hat is arthur's hat with feathers added that charles gave to him, and his classic revolver is dutch's :')

tomorrow will be better, pt. 2.

dialogue prompts from tomorrow will be better by betty smith.

i happen to be a sensitive man, myself.

you couldn't stay home even one night?

there's not a kinder person in the whole world than me.

i can't fight. i get sick when i argue.

let's be frank and earnest. i'll be frank.

you seem decent, and sensible.

we did our best to do the right thing.

i love you. i will never love anyone else.

talking always leads to an argument.

i'd marry you, probably, if you ever asked me.

maybe this is the real way: just liking someone and getting on well enough.

let there be talk. they'll talk, anyway, no matter what.

we got a right to do as we please.

what's the point of marrying if you're not thinking about children?

i can't come right out and say 'i love you' like they do on the stage.

you've got good sense. you know how i feel about you.

maybe you could do better, but you could do a lot worse.

i have intentions of being someone someday.

i need you. i don't see how i could get along without you.

keep your teeth in your mouth.

there's many a true word spoken in a joke.

you don't have it in you to deceive anyone.

was it a bad dream?

you're too grown up to be soothed by a story?

i'd drop dead if you ever stopped scolding me, i'd be that surprised. so save my life and don't ever change.

you just don't know how a mother feels.

i like having a lot to do. the day doesn't seem so long then.

there's always a reason for the way a person is.

you forgot to kiss me goodbye.

take good care of yourself. for me.

if i don't worry, who will?

i want to love you so much.

i'm so proud of you.

i want you to be so happy.

it's no one's business but ours.

i only want one thing in the world: to see my children happy.

where do you get your ideas?

you've found your way back to us.

i always wanted to marry and have a lot of children.

don't do anything i wouldn't do.

it's better to lose something than to never in your life have anything to lose.

i'm tired of always considering other people and being afraid.

bad quarrels come when two people are wrong. worse quarrels come when two people are right.

i'm sorry that i fooled you. i didn't mean to.

you turned out fine, considering what your mother and father did to you.

it's just that i feel so alone, and i want to be close to somebody.

i thought maybe you felt alone too.

i thought maybe it wouldn't hurt if we held each other for a while. nothing more than that.

don't worry, and never be afraid.

ok some halloween ends canon divergences in no particular order rly:

allyson kills corey after he shows up at the strode house in the myers mask. gotta think abt how it happens more thoroughly but she shoots corey and michael finishes the job when she leaves at laurie’s behest to wait across the street for the police. they both laid out the trap for corey, not aware michael was soon to follow. 

still just don’t understand why we didn’t get a more emotional resolution between the two of them so this is my answer to this problem, lmao. could still have the scene where allyson cradles his head and cries in parallel to the scene at the halloween party, fr. also this scene was cut and i think it’s corey so.

laurie and michael have their fight in the kitchen, allyson comes in to save laurie when michael is about to land a killing blow on her by stabbing him in the back with the same knife she’d given laurie in the hospital room and the same knife she’d stabbed him with during the events of 2018, a direct parallel to her mother saving her. unlike her mother, though, she keeps stabbing. 

i understand it would be a copy of h20 but i personally think allyson and laurie should’ve beheaded michael in the style of this image.  

i also like the idea of karen being a single mom because i dislike ray nelson lmao but i’ll think abt it.

it’s been two weeks since they’d returned to new york from puerto rico, and soledad insisted they make the early morning commute on a sunday morning to clinton church. night nurse is a title that befits claire in many ways ---- in large part because the shift from working the night shift to her current line of work had been seamless. she hasn’t been to church since she received communion, either, but it’d mattered to her mother that she’d go and so claire does, clad in a dress and not scrubs or jeans for once in her life.

while her mother’s busy paying taking communion at the front of the church, claire grips at the arm of the edge of the aisle, eyes darting about the room to look busy. she doesn’t like church, never has. luckily, this church isn’t the immaculate conception her mother had dragged her along to as a child, and no one even knows her face. she could take communion, but it’d be a half-dishonest thing, and she’s already come along this far. this is good enough. 

her eyes scan the elaborate stained glass windows, to the choir, fixing onto the distant side profile she can’t miss, and it sends a pang of some sort of emotion through her ---- it’s been a long, long time, too long. the claire temple that matt knew was different than the one now, but it’s not like matt’s the same either.

 exhaling, claire smoothes out her dress as she stands, approaching him from behind. there's no way, with that hearing of his, that he doesn't know she's in the room already.

“ move over, will you? ”  she asks lightly, gently pushing matt into the aisle as she sits beside him, their knees touching. she feels like a child again, hunkered down in the big church aisles. when she looks ahead, she has a clearer view of soledad engrossed in conversation with one of the nuns at the altar. when soledad shoots claire a smile, claire chuckles, shaking her head as she leans in,   “ i should’ve guessed. all catholics in new york must know each other. ” / @diaboluse

society if this scene of michael looking into his reflection at judith’s vanity would drop 

im also like. it’s in sb’s POV so like. is it allyson’s. 

(it is allyson’s, because i said so.)

[reconstructs]

thinking of the halloween kills alternative cut and 

1.) gonna need the deleted scene of michael looking into his reflection in the vanity in judith’s room in halloween kills to drop actually 

2.) the halloween kills theatrical ending aka michael and laurie staring out of windows at the same time, looking beyond them and toward each other considering that’s how they met for the first time (michael staring out of the window of his home @ laurie)... so iconic genuinely... also thinking abt the fact that the knife he’s using to stab karen to death is the same knife allyson stabbed him with. i’ve got brain worms rn 

[fatedxdestiny]

He’s waited for me. I’ve waited for him. Come on, Michael.

@shelassos said: i’d be glad if you told me everything. detransition, baby. // accepting. 

❛ - you’re the goddess of truth, right? that checks out. ❜ 

bruce had only asked about her parents in a cursory sort of way, the same way her background check worked when she applied at mcdonalds. well - maybe more thorough than that, considering she was hired on the spot, but they never talk about her parents. they don’t talk about his parents much, either, or the memorial that hangs in the middle of the cave like some kind of morbid museum exhibit. he’d promised her it wouldn’t happen again, and she believed him. still does.

but diana isn’t like bruce, whose steely resolve doesn’t quite scare carrie off but does enough to keep her at an arm’s length. diana’s face is kind and she’s kind, and pressing, and it makes carrie swallow. she’s grateful for the obstruction her wide glasses on the bridge of her nose provide in terms of eye contact. 

❛ i don’t know what to tell you. i, um - i saved bruce. he brought me back here. my parents don’t know, they probably wouldn’t care - they think i still have my job at the arcade. i’m a lot more boring than you are - ❜ she flushes.  ❛ - do you prefer miss wonder woman?  ❜
