This Is Almost Depressingly Accurate To Snake's Outlook On Life. LOL (but Really Though)

I know debbie and cecil are a doomed romance and I love me some angst, but I need some cute fluff. Any head cannons on flustered Cecil or just things Debbie does that makes Cecil (secretly) flustered?

cecil is a difficult man to fluster but when it does happen he's pretty good at hiding it. his artifical skin doesn't show color underneath the way normal skin does, so blushing is not really an issue for him. there are other tells though (especially if you can read him as well as debbie grayson does)

he can't handle eye contact when he's flustered, despite the intense staredowns he frequently gets into. he's got to focus on something else or just stare at the wall. his posture gets stiffer. he talks faster, less time between thoughts and words, and misspeaks more often (we see some of this when he's talking to debbie in the show).

his hands shake - he hates this especially. maybe he'll put them in his pockets. maybe he'll adjust his tie or fidget with his lapel pin or cufflinks or... something. maybe he'll fake getting a call in his earpiece. anything to distract from the feeling. he's GOT to be professional, damn it

i'm having trouble thinking of specifics for debbie right now, but i think it's just a lot of little things. i think the realization that he's paying such close attention to her and her mannerisms is what flusters him... the fact that he has these feelings he really shouldn't have, and the fact that he actually wants her to like him, as juvenile as that sounds

they seem physically comfortable enough for him to know when to reach out and hold her steady or put a hand on her shoulder, but he's cautious with it. debbie is more impulsive and when she reaches for him, it does catch him off guard. he's not used to being held

other things i like to think about:

debbie tying his tie and cecil returning the favor by fastening her necklace. the way she tilts her head and sweeps her hair away from her neck is... something

awaiting updates on world-shattering events and debbie takes his hand in hers to stop them both from shaking. no words, they don't even have to look at each other

debbie gently touching the side of his face where his scar is, moving her thumb over it

cecil putting his jacket over debbie's shoulders and her pulling it close

Whoever named them Hard Master and Soft Master - genuinely, what were they on? Not to mention Silent Master. Could you imagine? You walk into the place where you were raised and find that they've decided to honor you by riffing on the fact that your vocal cords don't work? And Blind Master? Like, I know logically that they're just describing these people in a single word, but still. It couldn't have been Wise Master or Kind Master or Generous Master. They had to go right for dunking on you. Lol, I think it's more funny than upsetting, especially considering GI Joe's vast plethora of insane names. But seriously - who is naming these people?

Kal’s gonna be so done with everyone in like the fifth panel😭

Both my favorite boys (other than Snake Eyes of course)

a list of all the insta posts over the months that i've found of the torchbearer :) most of these are from the profiles of the actors for the torchbearer, you can refer to this post for a list of them all ^^ *inhale*

(a thank you to clairemation for being the one to send me the last one :D)

there's probably more that i'm forgetting or haven't found yet lol, but i digress

I still mourn for the season two character arcs we never got. Especially for Storm Shadow and Jinx.

let’s talk about Storm Shadow in gi joe renegades. does he feel like he’s needed? no. does he want to feel like he’s needed? yes. is he succeeding? no.

unfortunately, he doesn’t know the damage he’s done until it’s too late.



nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations
