rewatching some evangelion and that one secret level ep where keanu reeves is a little freak mech pilot really makes me think. silverv thoughts. johnny piloting a mech v like the little brain parasite he is. and eventually falling in love with the consciousness in his giant robot. everyone thinking their “relationship” (if you can even call it that) is absolutely strange and borderline gross. their brains fusing and becoming tangled up the more time they spend together blowing shit up. johnny feeling more camaraderie with a mech because of the hand, and the fact they were both forced to be used for the purpose of war. johnny prioritising a robot over actual human connection because he’s never been good at that anyway. johnny eventually fucking said robot. something something johnny silverhand objectum truthers unite.
sometimes you gotta think about johnny silverhand absolutely wrecked drunk and high out of his mind having a rare emotional moment because hes too wasted to suppress anything and hes crying and hiccuping and grasping at someones leg saying fuck im so sorry i dont know whats wrong with me please just stay here please please
i see a lot more tender wireplay bits when it comes to johnny, whether it be maintenance or more exploratory “discovers it by accident” poking around. and that’s great. beautiful. love it
but i also think he’d whine louder if the right wires were purposely crossed to shock him a bit
johnnys old stuffed puppy he's had since he was a kid that he has so much shame about and how he still has it pre 2077 (ofc), where it's arm had been stitched back on long before, missing an eye, torn seams with the most sloppy hand mending uve seen, real raggedy brown thing, he keeps it hidden away in the closet, crushed under some box, doesn't even know why he still fucking has the thing really, not like it does any good for him or serves any practical purpose in his life, but whatever right? cuz it's not like this place isn't filled with a shit ton of literal garbage anyway, he just hates cleaning shit out is all. it's fucking boring.
not at all cuz he remembers those nights of intense panics when he thought he had forgotten him when he had just deserted, not remembering if he took him with him, dissociation heavy those nights, till he tore the motel room up and found him hiding under take out containers, and not at all cuz he checks on it accidentally while sifting through some old samurai shit, sometimes even catches himself thinking about it, on the couch when his guitar doesn't sound right, nothing does, and the air in the trailer is way too hot, too suffocating, can't breathe, metal fingers twitching that he acts like is a punishment for even thinking about it, and not at all like they're reaching for something he can't have, can't let himself, not now, not again
OUGHFFFFF I LOVE THIS OH MY GOD pointing at me like I'm not pointing at you rn 😭☹️😭☹️😭
yess the symbolism of the puppy and it's treatment was totally intentional, but 🥺☹️🥺☹️🥺 V tucking the puppy in and Johnny seeing it as a reflection of being taken care of himself....
V tucking the puppy in and then as a 'joke' tucks Johnny in too, cuz they're totally not cuddling in the bed rn ykno, and Johnny's just been mean mugging this whole gesture, nasty side glances, shades slipping down his nose like they aren't about to go to bed, and V looks over like 'awww u must want a turn too, huh?', then tucked in Johnny goes, V taking his shades off and setting them carefully on the alcove, and all Johnny can do is pout about it because he's so insanely flustered at the foreign gesture disguised as 'for the sake of the bit', that he can't trust himself to speak right now, and lowkey selfishly doesn't wanna ruin the moment like he knows he will if he does, because he can feel the embarrassment welling up, trying to be better now, post game, doesn't wanna snap, so he stays quiet and then he gets spooned to sleep and dies in it blushing and everything and FUCK they are so CUTE!!!! and it makes me SICK!!!!!!! SICK!! big big feelings about this rn ☹️😭☹️😭☹️😭
UGH U GUYS JUST KEEP ADDING GREAT TAGS IM SORRY ALRIGHT
(kinda whumpy, alludes to trafficking, child neglect, abuse, autistic meltdowns)
oughdhrhr okay bouncing my skull violently off of this
what if kid Johnny finds it abandoned in a parking lot, asking his dad if he can keep it all excitedly, holding it up like it's something all so new and precious to him already, his dad not giving a fuck or sparing a glance at Johnny or whatever tf the kids on about these days, he just flicks ash his way, dragging off his last cig, antsy, clean out of his drug stash, fucker anxiously tapping his foot as he watches the open road and the parking lot entrance for signs of cars, harassing ppl in front of the gas station to bum another cig off them while he waits to cop, dealer taking way too fucking long,
'dont fucking care, kid, stop bugging me, alright? see?" he flicks a wrist out fanning to the empty parking lot, 'busy.’ he grumbles not even aware of what Johnnys asking, what he's holding, doesn't care, like he said,
but Johnny's excited all the same, his dad's never really gotten him a toy before! so isn't he lucky, his dad's finally getting him one! holds the thing close and hugs it tight after he jumps up and climbs with a little struggle to sit on the hood of his dad's old beater, like he always does when they hang out like this! kicking feet off the ledge and swinging as he looks up at his dad then the road then his brand new puppy, maybe dad will get a real one for them sometime!
just the biggest grin he's had in a while on his face, super joyful, super grateful, happy, as he talks to the puppy (in his mind ofc cuz he doesn't want him to take it away already! for bugging him more and all that,) he thinks it looks more like a teddy, like a friend he's always known and wished he had
during outbursts, between the time he has left with his dad, and sometimes with his new ‘family’, he throws it against walls, slams it against surfaces, hits himself with it, he doesn't know why, he just gets so frustrated, feels like he can't keep himself contained in his skin when noises get too loud, or when his dad does, or when things don't go Johnnys way and he gets easily frustrated, doesn't know how else to regulate this, nobody there to teach him any better either, just gets angry with him for it, like it's a disturbance and more of a nuisance, dramatics even
and his dad always threatens Johnny, Robert, if he wants him to take it away from him, that his dad doesnt even know where he got the filthy fucking thing, that he needs to calm the fuck down or else, that he might as well throw it out if he's treating it like this, pulling at it from Johnny in a tug of war scare tactic, just to elicit Johnny to cry and scream he's sorry, he didn't mean it, he never did, he didn't mean to hurt it he loves it! even if he after all this he always inevitably has another meltdown, the cycle repeating and his dad never actually taking it away because fuck at least it shuts the kid up, n anyway, not like he'll have to deal with this bullshit much longer
