Ladies, Sirs, whatever you may perfer,
May I present to you: The Jedtavius personal space timeline
Normal amount of space between two adversaries/rivals.
2. Normal amount of space between two friends (Octavius still counts as a 'people' to Jed's aversion to contact/personal space)
3. Normal amount of space between two friends (Octavius no longer counts as a 'people' to Jed's aversion to contact/personal space)
4. Your personal space, is my personal space
demo and sniper would totally have a buzzfeed unsolved type show where they go hunting for cryptids and ghosts. demo is sure that the supernatural is real and has a deep respect for it, he tries to honor ghosts and not to piss off any entities that might hunt the places they go explore (like ryan bergara). sniper tho is the sceptic, he humors demo but doesn't believe in supernatural stuff even tho he witnesses supernatural shit go down every Halloween with merasmus and whatnot (shane medej)
both of them are 100% sure that medic is a demon
WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT

I like to think that Miguel just saw Peni going through the most traumatic shit a teenager can deal with(not good) and was like, yeah now it's time to bring her in, I want that traumatized girl on my team Peter B being like, Oh gosh it's been so long since I saw that little tech girl, and then see her like that This is basically a scene from the PSX game of Lain, but I thought it was cool
Y’all get mad at Jessica - the black Woman doing her job and trying to hold the multiverse together so her baby can have a universe to live in more than y’all blame Peter, the whites man who knew and trained Miles and still chose to believe he was an anomaly.
Like Peter TAUGHT Miles how to swing and he still was like ‘oh yeah miguel that makes sense yeah miles isn’t suppose to be spiderman’ HOW
Shout-out to my fellow weirdo makers out there that create thousands of parallel universes that their OCs simultaneously exist in, where they are, at their core, the same character, but each have subtle differences that make it difficult to fully express what is perfectly consistent across all of them.
Can we actually talk about how insane it is that Simon removed his mask for the 141? Everything he’s been through has caused him to disassociate entirely from the person he is. He cannot bear to BE himself; to have Simon Riley be someone who exists and is acknowledged by others. He uses the mask to create his nonexistence; to become a weapon only focused on finishing his mission. With the mask, Simon Riley is dead. The only thing left is his “Ghost.”
By creating this barrier, he distances himself from his teammates emotionally and can convince himself that only the objective matters (see: abandoning Soap after Graves betrays them and calling it “a force of habit”).
Simon is not good with expressing his feelings. For example, he’s extremely worried about Soap during “Alone,” but shows it through jokes and talking to keep Soap calm. Any time Soap insists Ghost cares, the man immediately deflects and insists they are only “teammates” and that Soap needs to focus on his own self-preservation.
But we see afterwards that Ghost wants to make an effort to connect emotionally to his team; to show the 141 who “Simon” is, not just Ghost. For example, after Rodolfo assumes that Ghost would wait for his men and Soap begins to express his doubt, Ghost immediately jumps in and asserts that, yes, he would wait for them. He lets Soap know with his own words that he is there for his team. This is a rare instance where Ghost allows himself to be emotionally vulnerable and open, and it sticks out immediately to the player.
And finally, the ultimate showcase of trust: the removal of the mask. Simon rips away that last barrier of distance between himself and the 141. He affirms HIS existence and allows his teammates to see the true person underneath the mask. Price’s “Good to see you again, Simon,” only adds to the fact that this is “Simon” standing with them. In that moment, there is no “Ghost.”
Anyway, I just thought it was really touching. Simon is a deeply traumatized character, but he’s also someone who has bottled up that trauma so well that it can be hard to separate his two identities and their wants. I really hope his backstory gets touched on more in the next game (and please don’t fucking kill him right after that Activision lmao).
Humans are space orcs, but humans are real fucking sneaky and don't tell anyone they're predators after realizing that other sentient species are all prey. It starts out as wanting to assimilate without any negative stigma, but eventually they realize that we're really alone as sentient predators.
So q human goes on a research ship and that ship gets stranded on a deathworld and everyone freaks put bc they don't know how to handle this but the human's just like 'build shelter, hunt food, start a fire' and they're all like 'hunt food???!!' And they human's like 'shit'.
So they see a human climb trees, throw shit, track prey and realize 'oh no, that thing could kill us' but the human's helping and they don't really have the man power to get rid of them.
And eventually they realize the whole pack bonding thing is stronger than the predatory instincts and are relieved
i love freedom fries having a serious dynamic of slow burn and building a relationship, but i also really adore them having the dynamic of Jessica Rabbit and Roger Rabbit because they are so so silly and i love both duos
