I was gushing to a friend of mine about how much I love Ludwig as a character - you know, as you do - and I thought maybe you guys might like to see it too.
He has the Captain Kirk paradox. Somebody on the Star Trek side of tumblr put it into words once: The Original Series Captain Kirk is somehow able to express large amounts of both masculine and feminine qualities, simultaneously, and not a single bit of it seems weird or out of place for him.
I see Ludwig the same way. He expresses his emotions really freely even in canon - I probably exaggerate it a little bit, but they must have made his face as flexible as they did for a reason. In my experience, none of the other mercs even come CLOSE to the detail of micro-expressions that can be put on him. He was specifically designed to be highly emotional.
Even with this high degree of emotion, he still manages to be masculine as hell in many shots, AND YET, you can look at those very same shots and still think 'babygirl you are a hot mess' completely unironically.
Despite being described simply as a 'mad scientist' or 'mad doctor', Ludwig is a remarkably deep character who is so far detached from gender norms that even observers who are looking for specific masculine or feminine qualities can't really nail them down completely, because he's never not expressing both types of energy.
In conclusion: Once again, it's 4AM, I am Not Okay™️ about that old man, and thank you for coming to my TED talk.
"A while ago, the headmage warned me not to keep too many gargoyles because the floors might cave in... But in my opinion, the actual problem here is the durability of the floors. I hardly think I deserve to be reproached."
"There were a lot of gargoyles around the campus that needed repairing. It was a lot of work to carry each of those back to my (club?)room to do repair work on them but... He told me he didn't even ask me to do that. What a rude man."
????????? 😭😭😭 Even with such a bratty nonsense attitude he's so cute?! And isn't their interaction kinda like a dad telling off his son?!

dream almost calling tubbo tommy oh he’s never beating the obsessed allegations
i literally love when people realize positive reinforcement works like yes its so silly isnt it. but it literally works humans love juice reward too
i truly cannot stress how much of a fucking freak ghost is. he is a fucking weirdo. he is so fucking strange. mask? always on. 90% of cutscenes are happening and the man looming in the back, staring off into the middle distance. he speaks a max of, like, six words per interaction. he does not make eye contact or — worse — he makes extremely prolonged eye contact. he is a fucking freak. he is a deranged weirdo. i know we like to gas him up and make him all hot n horny but he is a fucking freak and it's time we start championing him as such
with pavitr having his hair out of the mask, and hugging gayatri when he saves her, and having The Worst attempt at disguising his voice out of all the spiderkids (which is saying something, when you're up against miles and gwen) - i love the idea that everybody in mumbattan absolutely knows that pavitr prabhakar is spider-man, but all have an unspoken agreement to never actually acknowledge it, because he's sweet and helpful and god, he's just a kid.
tourists and visitors and people just moving there will gesture to his very visible and easily identifiable hair and open their mouths to comment on it, and the nearest Seasoned Member of the Pavitr Prabhakar Defense Committee™ will slap a hand over their mouth and wrangle them in the opposite direction before they can blow his cover and get him arrested
