i think it’s obvious which kind of characters I dislike when 2 of my least favourites growing up were chi chi + sakura
- Silco does not enjoy committing violence, and would much rather be alone in his office. That is the scariest thing about facing him in the field; he does not say so but it’s clear he really just wants to get the unpleasantness done efficiently and get back to paperwork. Do you have any idea how much administration his business empire requires? Just do what he wants and he’ll go back to work *before* hurting you instead of afterwards.
- He doesn’t keep prison cells (though some of the guest rooms have locks on the outside, and canonically his undersea base serves food). If he can’t talk someone into walking free and useful to him within a few hours, they’re not leaving on their feet anyway.
- Since the breakup with Vander, he’s in chronic pain which varies from mild to severe, which makes physical pleasure very rare for him. On a good day for pain, he’s merely vinegary towards everyone he does not need to charm; on a bad day he’ll hiss out orders. Alcohol and Shimmer are the only pain management options available, and he uses both only sparingly.
- Despite his lack of everyday people skills, his organization has very low turnover (canon support: the two bodyguards present when he adopts Jinx are still with him to visit Marcus at home at least 5 years later) and no shortage of applicants for new positions. He pays well, has a rudimentary pension plan and, while employees will be required to do crime and thuggery, it will usually be well planned and tactical crime and thuggery.
- He doesn’t hide his need to medicate his eye or his lack of fighting prowess. It’s a boast for him that he does not have to conceal weakness. He does however stand and sit much straighter than would be comfortable to him, especially on bad pain days, and is always impeccably dressed. He usually has good control over his temper, and if he loses control (as he does for a moment in episode 3 after the bombs go off, hissing “kill them”), he usually regains it very quickly (his next order is “find them” instead).
- He is *not* afraid of water, or bodily hurt, or choking. The weak man he used to be was afraid of those, but he is not, as he explained to Jinx in the sea (going in before her and also with her). He’ does not expect to make old bones, though he does object to dying with his work left undone. He has no post-revolution plans.
- Nobody knows what he does to relax, though it involves a lot of curling up into a pain-wracked foetal ball in private. After Jinx, he clears his calendar to spend time with her, though he’s still available for urgent work questions (and sometimes discusses them with Jinx, to the discomfort of his people). After Jinx, his associates notice that, while he does not ever exactly *smile*, he occasionally does appear slightly contented.
08 - Cunning
‘What—what did you see from the window?’ Jarred stammered.
‘Nothing. As I told him. But I knew he would not trust my word.’ Sharn tossed her head. ‘And I knew he would lean out. Why should he fear a little painted doll like me?’
The Forests of Silence // Ch 7 Treachery
GIVE IT UP FOR T H E QUEEN
big fan of the woman who learnt to survive palace politics and (even though i think it sucks that she had to) put on an empty-head pretty mask but remained sharp as ever. that even with her entire world threatened, she was cunning enough to save herself and her unborn baby and her husband and his friend. she tricked prandine and she killed him,,
i feel like i have so much to say about her but my brain is not in it at the moment, so im gonna leave it with this quote
His mother. Not Anna of the Forge, practical and wise in the ways of herbs and growing things. But Sharn, of Tora. The one who could weave like a miracle. The one whose wit and courage had taught him so much.
Return to Del // Ch 16 The Last Secret
tagging this as hawkeye spoilers but just in case um...
✨ hawkeye spoilers ✨
kate and clint talking about what clint did as the ronin like -
kate: you were a hero
clint: i was a weapon
clint: i was aimed by the right people at the right targets, so
kate: look, you made mistakes, but those are behind you
clint: no it's tied to me, tied to my family
why the fuck couldn't marvel let bucky have one single moment like this in tfatws??? swap a few words/context in this conversation and this is a similar convo sam and bucky or bucky and his therapist (if she were a good therapist) could have been having i'm just
so annoyed that marvel can show this kind of consideration for some characters but not others, when clint chose to do what he did, and bucky didn't...
so what you're saying, disneymarvel, is:
clint was a hero (and has nothing to amend for) because he willingly joined shield/put on the ronin costume, was aimed by the right people at the right targets who he then killed, when he could have walked away from shield/ronin any time, and doesn't need to apologize for killing a girl's father willingly, and
bucky was not a hero (and should make amends) because he was held prisoner, brainwashed, tortured, aimed by the wrong people at the wrong targets who he then killed, with no power to disobey the orders and couldn't walk away from hydra even if he tried, and needed to apologize to a man for killing his son unwillingly
right, great, got it, glad that's all cleared up /s
Hey I know I did two requests and then stopped, reason is cuz it's late and I'm tired good night
malice and hatred on planet earth
i just love the idea of heugh being in the middle of fighting a person and they’re both shit talking when the other person says something so just Dang Mean that heugh can’t think of anything else to say to object so he just literally tells them to shut the fuck up as he goes back to trying kicking their ass

Have I ever mentioned I really hate the trend of uwu-ing Ienzo/Zexion cause hoo boy do I hate -_-
The concept of mysterio needing to fabricate fake villains and fights to get popular is so ridiculous like literally some dumbass white man or a gigantic fucking alien decides to fuck up a big city every two weeks in that universe and Jake jellynhaul decided to gain clout by fighting his own moving pictures?? WITH ALL THOSE DRONES HE COULD HAVE FOUGHT SOME ACTUAL VILLAINS AND ACCOMPLISHED EXACTLY THE SAME GOALS make it make sense
“that…can’t be good.”
hate this mf but unfortunately he is a little funny
if i had the willpower to finish a rewatch of season 14 i would write an essay on how weird zaya is and how it only works in the next class soft reboot bc up until s14 maya showed literally no signs of having romantic feelings for zig (excluding their first episode together) . also i'd write an essay on why winston chu isnt that bad and never deserved the hate he got
i’m on episode 3 of boruto and shikadai, inojin and sarada have my heart
