#screwy rambles

Love when I see notifications on my 10-year-old art

I swear I have better shit now I pinkie promise lmfao (Just getting hyperfixated on Soul Eater again so uh watch out for a lot of Stein and Crona specifically)

Okay do elves just have really resistant feet or do the game artists at Dragon Age just really like feet

From a story perspective I can understand Fenris not wearing shoes but only to a certain extent. I imagine it might have still been a thing when he was a slave, Danarius or Hadriana using it almost like torture or a constant reminder that elves aren’t even people blah blah blah.

Another part of that would be intimidation factor: The idea that this slave is such a hardened killer that even glass shards or rocks won’t stop him from fucking destroying you.

But then in Dragon Age 2 he still doesn’t wear them? Maybe he got used to it. Maybe he’s flexing. Maybe he prefers to feel the ground beneath him. I feel like elves probably just like the connection to the ground and feel like shoes cut them off from it (Kinda like Toph from Avatar)

But then in Blue Wraith he has boots??? Did u change ur mind, bud???

What would be neat is if the Inquisitor came back for DA4 and still fought like can u imagine a disabled hero protagonist? Is it just me? No arm, still up for kicking Solas’ ass.

I mean my archer Inquisitor, Lanse, kinda joined with the Red Jenny’s and got this Cool Crossbow Arm so honestly I don’t think it’s that far fetched? I just think it would be neat.

More Headcanon Ramblings

If you don’t like mental illness headcanons or in-depth talk about mental illnesses then there’s no need to read further. It’s all gucci, go about your business my lovelies!

DISCLAIMER: I’m not a professional in any way. I just have a special interest in the brain and its many quirks and afflictions. I tend to see these things in characters I see or play. Remy, Kurt, Cole, Tim, and Klaus especially. But right now I’m gonna talk about Remy! Since. This is a Gambit blog lmao.

So without further ado: here are some disabilities I think fit Remy pretty damn well. Ones that have Pretty Much Canon Evidence will be normal. Anything that’s purely my headcanon will have (HC) before it.

-

PTSD! This one is probably the more obvious one. I think most X-Men who’ve seen battle have it at this point, with all the fucked up things they’ve seen. Remy has likely had it since he was little. Canonically one of his earliest memories is being cuffed to a fucking patio fence while the Guild strapped up a gator to see if he could slip the cuffs in time. He was two years old. Well if that’s not traumatizing I don’t know what is.

(HC) Katrina. In my Remy’s canon, he was around 13 which is when most mutant powers kick in. Especially due to, you guessed it: Stress! I’d say being pinned down in a flooding building counts as stressful! He blew up the rubble and almost died. That’s definitely a ticked box on the Trauma Checklist.

Let’s see... What else...

The life in the Thieve’s guild couldn’t have been easy, especially trying so hard to impress the guild and his ‘adopted’ father. He had to grow up fucking fast if he wanted to live.

Killing a man at 18 after just getting married.

Getting A Fucking Lobotomy! (Side note his head was shaved for that which I think is a fucking crime)

Learning that all this work was to lead a group of murderers to an innocent group of Morelocks!

Getting Fucking Gutted By Sabertooth!

Misc. traumas from living on the run/getting into fights/Belladonna’s death

Most of his ventures with the X-Men!

MYSTIQUE, who regularly manipulated his issues with self-worth and self-loathing!

Apocalypse/Getting turned into the Horseman of Death, which canonically HURT SO MUCH HE HAD TO BE STRAPPED DOWN.

Numerous kidnappings/torture sessions by various villains!

BEING ACTUALLY BLINDED FOR SOME TIME.

Probably more from comics I haven’t read yet!

Depression. Self-loathing, self-worth issues, and self-harm specifically. It’s no secret that Remy LeBeau has had one hell of a fucked up life. Abandoned at birth over his mutated eyes, stolen into a family of thieves, basically used as a tool all his life. He’s been used and subconsciously trained to think he’s only worth something if he’s useful. Thus self-worth issues.

(HC) He had no outlet for his self-loathing, but he did have a neat power to charge shit with kinetic energy. Vibrational kinetic energy is, well, vibrational. He holds something and focuses, and it vibrates. He could manipulate an object to vibrate so much that it would heat up. Easy way to cause burns. Easy way to self-harm without being noticed. If people asked why he had burns, he could say he was trying to practice and the thing blew up. Nobody actually cared enough to ask, which made it worse. This is why my Remy has no feeling in his palms! He’s burned all the nerve endings out, whoops!

He outran his use to the Guild when he killed Belladonna’s brother, even in self-defense. The point of the marriage was to settle a feud between the two guilds, to bond them. While they still held the truce despite Remy killing the man, he was exiled from New Orleans. Abandoned for a second time in his life, by someone who likely convinced him he “Should be thankful he was taken in by the Guild.” and how Jean Luc “Stuck his neck out for him.” (Let’s remember I’m pretty sure he was 18 when they were married.)

Plus they abandoned him at a crucial part of his life: His powers starting to get too powerful for him to handle. This drives him to seek help. Unfortunately for him, that lands him with the Marauders. He almost dies trying to save the Morelocks after figuring out what the Marauders had been up to, but he pretty much fails. That’s a huge part of his life that he hates.

Right off the bat with the X-Men, he’s mostly tolerated instead of accepted. Nobody trusts him, so he gets bitter and self-isolates. That just kinda goes downhill from there.

-

Here’s the weirder one of mine... Borderline Personality Disorder! Remy shows pretty much all the symptoms of BPD which are as follows, at least from all I’ve seen. I’ll bold the ones that apply, and summarize some examples.

Fear of abandonment.  Already gone over this one.

Unstable relationships. *Will Smith meme at his numerous flings and escapades and also ROGUE.*

Unclear or shifting self-image.  At the beginning of the 2012 Gambit miniseries, he mentions he doesn’t feel like himself anymore. He has a lot of issues with it throughout the series. I’ve seen it in other comics too but he has a lot of trouble being torn between X-Men, the Thieve’s Guild, and his past with the Marauders.

Impulsive, self-destructive behaviors.  Thievery, reckless and numerous sexual encounters, pretty much no regard for his own health in battle, alcohol.

Self-harm.  Already went over this, still pure headcanon.

Extreme emotional swings.  He’s seen getting regularly frustrated with people, even those he loves. Especially with people that he finds annoying. Then other times he’ll be extremely apologetic or upset for almost no reason. The smallest thing can trigger it, like being called a thief too many times or being rejected by someone he cares about.

Chronic feelings of emptiness.  I’m not sure how to explain this one. It just shows, to me. Maybe the same instance as the shifting self-image.

Explosive anger. (haha get it) He’s actually really good at keeping his anger in check unless it has to do with people he cares about.

Feeling suspicious or out of touch with reality.  He’s really fucking paranoid. He’s paranoid that people will leave him or won’t trust him with anything. He’s suspicious of anyone new, wondering when they’ll leave him, etc.

Thanks for coming to the TED Talk no one asked for.

When I say “I lovecrossovers” Idk if some people realize what that means.

For me that means “I can fit a character into practically any world with varying levels of detail depending on how much I like the worlds.”

For example. While I dislike RWBY as a show, I highly enjoy the premise and find the world interesting for the most part. I automatically drew parallels with RWBY and Soul Eater. Both are schools for kids who hunt monsters. EASY crossover.

If I enjoy two universes I can cross them over. X-Men and dragon age? Well different races already exist in Dragon Age. What if we play it like a regular Modern Fantasy universe where magic grew and evolved with technology? That means that Humans, Dwarves, Elves, and Qunari can have their own unique mutations for each race. Spirits and ghosts already exist in X-Men sometimes, so Cole could remain pretty much the same.

‘Normal’ sources where the characters are just humans crossing over into magical worlds is easy. Either just give them powers that would be plausible in that universe, or have them remain human and just play up the idea that they’re out of their element when surrounded by all these magical things.

Hell, I can even create entirely different backstories for characters to fit into either world. If one character is going to be integrated into the other’s world then just adjust that character’s backstory.

Cole can canonically read Solas (An Actual Fucking Elven God) passively until Solas blocks him off. So if a psychic in X-Men didn’t realize what he was doing, they probably wouldn’t even notice he was reading their emotions and pasts. It’s just something that calls out to him, and people have to basically block off their emotions to stop him. But Solas was only able to tell what Cole was doing when Cole spoke.

Cole will interact with anyone who he thinks might need help. This could count villains as well if they’re more... Morally Grey rather than straight-up evil. If they’re lashing out due to being hurt then he’ll still try to help until they show him they either can’t or don’t want to be helped. Someone like Loki from Marvel? He’d try to help. The Joker? Hell Fucking Nah. Kingpin? Oh boy would he get a visit from Cole to Talk About Feelings.

Y’all I’m serious when I say I love crossovers. I’m fucking serious.

Costco is a place where I can feel my framerate drop when I walk in

[abitscrewyvinn]

I'd square up for any of my friends and loved ones but the problem is that anyone on the planet could probably snap me in half like a toothpick

[abitscrewystein]

Still laughing at the fact that Death the Kid thought it’d be a great idea to question the man who is very quickly losing his grip on reality for information on his father.

The boy was either that desperate or very stupid.
