Little Johnny was honestly so real for going "you can't just parent your child sometimes, you're their parent always" in front of the two deadbeat dads of these last two arcs

[obstinaterixatrix]

oh yeah something that gets missed if you watch tbhx in a language other than cn is that when the billboard glitched on nice’s name the part that gets repeated is the word for death. 死死死死 lol

[inkstaindusk]

Lucky Cyan's arc is like. What if hope transcends death? What if the power of love is real? What if love could save one person and thus save everyone? What if I cried watching a bunch of strangers use their final moments to pass on their final wishes to a child they didn't know in the hopes that at least she would live on in their stead?

WAIT everyone shut the fuck up. Nice is no longer associated with Treeman according to the relationship chart the official tbhx account posted and my friend is theorizing that the Spotlight Organization revived him. This opens up a brand new consideration for siblings au everybody: Liu Zheng succeeded where Shang De failed and Nice STILL has to suffer for it

A list of things about OG Nice that I can't stop thinking about, in no particular order:

the emptiness in his eyes

the elegant imagery of the empty paintings and his ballet dancing

no seriously i want to know more about his ballet background

him and wreck having been idols? or something like that? some sort of performing duo

that one scene in his character story with wreck looking at him and moon together just screamed "man forced to be straight for the cameras"

when he looked at his reflection in wreck's helmet

him lying in the empty frames (needed to be said again)

that one official artwork where all the heroes are wearing black suits with white undershirts EXCEPT for X wearing all white and Nice wearing white with a black belt and uhh choker thing?

[inkstaindusk]

Ok actually if any of you thought I'd stop being a Nice fan after everything think again I need to dissect this man more than ever. I'm convinced there's a real chance there was little to no experimentation on Nice at all and that the Fear he's infected with is fully his own and all Shang De had to do was talk about it and Nice did all the rest

[inkstaindusk]

If Nice and Wreck were idols, what did their fans think happened to them? Did they stage a very public breakup leading to Wreck becoming a villain? Or is Wreck wearing a mask so no one knows he used to be Nice's partner? Do fans of their idol days think "Wreck" killed Nice's partner? Or does Wreck still have just like a completely normal civilian identity and people think he simply retired from being an idol and the villain Wreck is completely separate from him?

[inkstaindusk]

My only not sad tbhx au is an actors au. They had to retake Nice's suicide scene so many times because L0 couldn't keep a straight face at the finger guns. Behind the scenes footage of all the wacky trust/fear effect makeup and props. Every single one of them has absolutely stolen one of said props. X wears a shitty wig. I don't actually know enough about real life actors to come up with more, someone else add some funny heartwarming scenarios.
