“I don’t understand Hannibal Lecter” k well if the love of my life tracked me down in europe and smiled at me in front of my favorite painting and said he wanted to understand me and that he defined past vs future as before me and after me and talked about how we couldn’t survive separation and then after I saved both of our lives from insane ass mason verger and I carried him bridal style through the cold winter night only for the next day to have him BREAK UP WITH ME and say he didn’t want to think about me anymore…yeah I'd turn myself in too.
I DONT LIKE SHANE BC I CAN FIX HIM. I LIKE SHANE BECAUSE DECIDING TO CARE FOR HIM, ROMANTICALLY OR NOT. GIVES HIM THE MOTIVATION NECESSARY TO TRY AND KICK HIS ADDICTION. IT SHOWS THAT WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO LOVE AND CARE FOR YOU, IT MAKES YOU WANT TO BE A BETTER PERSON FOR THEM!!! FUCK.
Sebastian reminds Shane so much of his younger self it makes his heart ache. Seb, Abi and Sam remind him of himself and Jas’s parents when they were younger, before the accident.
His ears are covered in healed piercings, his lip and eyebrow also.
When he either marries the farmer or when the Joja Mart closes he starts working on the farm, and gets big. Like I picture year five Shane fuckin swole. Hay bale lifting and heavy machinery pushing all goes to his shoulders
Im not saying washboard abs, the kinda strength you see in proper weight lifters, all muscle and roundness thats rough around the edges.
I like to think there are old home videos of Shane and Jas’s parents that she plays sometimes, when the saloon gets a TV she brings them in to watch on the proper TV rather than the poor excuse that Marnie has, Shane cries like a baby seeing is old friends on a decent screen, in high quality.
and Seb, Abi and Sam watch jaws drop as alternate timeline versions of them appear on the screen
Shane can fuckin sing, while hes working that man has the OG emo anthems either blasting or singing them himself.
He does the cough at the beginning of ‘dear maria count me in’ and it makes him laugh everytime before he sings with the most angelic ex-emo voice the world has ever heard.
Shane and Jas’ parents definitely had a band of their own, Shane gives me Bass or Keyboard vibes along with primarily back up vocals but once he has a drink in him he could lead vocal for hours.
He seems like the kinda guy that once upon a time was probably the most stressed waiter known to man, nineteen years old Shane having decided to not go to college his roomates/bestfriends are pregnant and are planning a shotgun wedding, stressed outta his mind, industrial piercing rejecting and infected, eye twitching while a customer asks for their fries to be replaced with prawns and refusing to pay any extra costs for that
He gives screaming match in the kitchen with the chef and then going out back to smoke weed with him vibes.
You've heard about the Madonna/Whore complex, now I propose Mary/Medea: a fictional mother must be an absolute perfect selfless saint whose identity revolves solely around her children, or else be a selfish abusive demon with no redeeming qualities whatsoever
I bring a certain “Bruce and Dick should be allowed to be and always have been a non-standard dynamic. That’s the point—that in everyone who’s ever lived they, in a one-in-a-billion chance, found eachother and found home in the other. Not through blood or nuclear (family) labels, but in the recognition that “you’re just like me” and all that that encapsulates in it’s ambiguity” vibe to the function that a lot of batfamers don’t love
Am writing my assignment on researchers and saying ‘the researcher’ and they/theming constantly makes me feel like im writing stardew fanfic lol
has this been done already
I think Bruce was a chip off the ol block
In my brain Elliot has major one sided beef with Shane but this whole time Shane has just thought he was matching his energy and now Shane thinks they are besties and Elliot wants him dead.
