Your Username Omg🫦 You're So Real For That

He is so fucked up that I wouldn't even try to fix him but it just makes me want him more 😂😂😂(not funny) (I need to seek help) (awesome analysis ty author:3)

⸻ headcanon.

leo doesn't think of himself as human. he sees himself as something primal, animalistic, nothing like the average person. one of the sole times he references himself -- DOGS BARK, BABE. SNAKES CRAWL. LEO KILLS. -- he makes direct comparisons to animals.

it's only further proof of how the project has harmed him. while fundamentally aware that he doesn't want to be this way, repeated conditioning has drilled into him that an animal is all he is ; acting on instinct, without thinking, without feeling, an intrinsic muscle memory playing out over and over for survival.

truly, it's something that causes him a lot of anguish in the brief moments when he allows himself to dwell on it. is killing something he truly enjoys, or something he has been forced to enjoy? is it enjoyment, or survival? or something else -- duty, hate? would forgoing his animal nature bring him peace, or would he find himself again with blood dripping from his hands and pooling beneath his feet whether he chose it or not?

where does leo end and the project's assassin begin?

he thinks, perhaps, the waters have become too muddied to tell. and so, he embraces what he has become, for it's all he knows now. maybe another day he'll be able to think of puppy dogs and football.

I'm replaying the game and there's such a neat little detail I haven't noticed before - all three characters have a chance to look into mirror in their introductory chapters - prior deviancy.

Kara and Markus don't react.

But!

Connor does.

Vain little motherfucker (affectionate).

On Mary

To expand further on what I said about Mary yesterday (making this a new post because I want it in the tags):

I've noticed that when it comes to canon ships for Arthur Eliza is far more popular than Mary is, despite Eliza never appearing in the game (she doesn't even get a last name!) and there being no indication that Eliza was anything other than a one night stand Arthur was co-parententing with

(In fact, Eliza's whole place in the story messes up the game's timeline but that's a topic for another post).

I think this really highlights the problem that fandom has with misogyny. Fans prefer a non-entity character over a complex, flawed female character.

'Oh but Surana, it's not misogyny. I like *this* female character over *that* female character'

No, you prefer a cardboard cutout over a well written *character*. Because that's essentially all Eliza is. She is the definition of fridged wife. We know nothing about her other than how her death affected Arthur.

Mary may not be the best written character in the game (Rockstar has an issue with writing women in general, though) but she is at least a character. And what's fascinating about her is she's essentially a female Arthur. Everything fans dislike about her? Guess what? That's Arthur! That's your blorbo!

Mary picked her family over Arthur? Arthur picked his over her. Abusive dad? Check. Younger brother? Check.

(I love Dutch but, man. He's not winning father of the year any time soon).

Mary refused to give up her life for Arthur? Well Arthur refused to give up his for hers, and Mary made the much more reasonable suggestion of 'stop doing crime, it will kill you' because, spoiler alert, it did!

Mary, like Arthur, was caught between love and loyalty and just like with Arthur the loyalty won.

'But she married someone else'. She was a woman in the late 1800s with a duty to her family and I've just established that loyalty is Mary's defining trait.

'But she told Arthur she never wanted to speak to him again'. Do you think it was easy for her to be around Arthur, knowing that she loved him but couldn't be with him?

Anyway, that's why I don't like or trust fans that don't like Mary Gillis Linton.
