no wonder feyd passed his gom jabbar, he's been like an animal in a trap his whole life he's probably used to it.
(guy who has so much fucking work to do voice) i should write a fic
Do you ever sit and think just how tragic the twins are during the entirety of gladiator two?
Do you ever think how Geta and his brother, both nearly completely uneducated have to manage political conversations and even exchange "pleasantries" with Roman nobles who have had the highest of educations (or even normal citizens some of whom probably know more than them) ?
Do you ever think how easily manipulated they are because they have noone to trust?
Do you ever think how macrinus manages to assassinate them via pretending to be their friend? How badly both him and his brother wanted someone they can trust (Geta literally confided in him about his brothers illness.....) Macrinus is older than the twins, so it's highly likely that their daddy issues also played part on how happy they were to have someone they can call a friend.
Do you ever think how ALONE Geta feels having not only to shoulder majority of the responsibilities of being emperors, but also to handle his brothers illness? How he has to hide it from the public, as it's such an obvious Achilles heel, that could and most likely would, encourage even more rebellion and be a cause of mockery for them? How Geta has to sleep at night knowing that even after all the blows he had taken to protect his brother from their parents, during his fits Caracalla is incapable of remembering that? Of thinking Geta as anything but an enemy? Of how they are at risk of being assassinated constantly and his brother is not understanding the significance of that threat? How Caracallas biggest comfort (aside from Dondus), the one who loves him the most, is also the one who he fears and despises during his episodes? How Geta feels knowing that his brothers illness could at some point kill him, leaving him completely on his own?
Do you ever think how Geta died looking at the face of his brother and the one person he thought he could confide in? How Caracalla died all alone in the hands of the man who also took away his brother?
We all know this site is US-user heavy, but I wanna know how many are vs aren't from the land of capitalism.
just watched all of us strangers, feeling emotions rn
ok but let's say they went to ollie's house and he wasn't lying
they turn up and it's some dilapidated shared housing complex or something. his mum is there, maybe a bit drunk. it's awkward. ollie clams up. he doesn't want to be there, he can't be there.
felix tries to make normal conversation, tries to lighten the mood and get them talking, but ollie just isn't having it. maybe his mum starts kicking off over god knows what so they leave quickly.
once they get back to saltburn it's a complete flip from the film. it's ollie walking away this time, felix begging for him to stop, saying sorry over and over. ollie loves him but right in this moment he needs a break. he needs to be alone for a while. he feels humiliated, like a child again.
the party. ollie has hidden himself away in a corner somewhere. maybe he's hiding out in the maze. maybe he's a little drunk when felix finds him (maybe he's a little drunk too).
they argue about it. ollie is still pissed, felix just wants them to be friends again. but ollie is drunk (he feels like his father) so he still grabs and pushes and says "i love you" when he knows he probably shouldn't. be he feels scared and vulnerable and like a joke.
idk idk i don't think they'd kiss but i think maybe they'd wake up in the morning, maybe curled up together in felix's bed. fully clothed, wings and antlers and all, all rumpled and warm.
maybe they talk quietly about it all, ollie's past, his trauma, his fears. neither of them mention the "i love you" but they're both thinking about it. felix is thinking about it.
about how he maybe sort of possibly loves him too. maybe more than he thought he did.
