Red Queen, Rayne's Domain

It's one of the first big "mental shutdown" moments we see from Simon. He's buzzed after that alcohol shot, starting to deal with micro-sleeps from exhaustion, and...

He just sat there. For who knows how long. Just sat.

Better to ask for forgiveness than permission?

Introducing Hunter!

Hunter is the oldest of his brothers by the manner of minutes, but that is a fact he cannot forget. He takes this arbitrary responsibility seriously, using his senses and street smarts to protect his family. His Whānau. Thus, the death of their parents weighed on his heart the heaviest. As the son of New Zealand immigrants but born and raised in the Bronx, he struggled to maintain his family’s identity as he took the role of their new leader.

Upon being drafted in 1942 (along with the rest of his brothers), he was forced to leave his baby sister, Omega, behind. She was the person he felt most obligated to protect, and now a forced duty came in between them. His loyalty to his family proved he was the natural fit for Sargent when Captain Rex pulled the four brothers into the 99th OSS, also known as The Bad Batch. They were a specialized team tasked with specialized missions, receiving orders directly from General Skywalker. Hunter lead the team to many successes, but his greatest accomplishment was bringing his brothers home safe when the war ended.

Civilian life was an adjustment after that. With Omega as his priority, he opted for a part time position as a cook at the Copacabana. This allowed him to spend time with his sister by day, and be surrounded by his brothers at night. A part of their team once again.

Simon, smirking: Kinky.

Grace: I think you're sweet and beautiful.

Simon: What—?

Grace: You deserve to be cared for.

Simon: Stop, now—

Grace: Your feelings are valid and deserve to be heard.

(He's a cutie)

Rubbing his mama's knife sheath

His little hand direction things (he's a visual person)

Teefs

Feeling The Blood

THIS FACE

These faces

Blinkblinkblink *head tilt* blinkblink

T-rex arms

Also I love loveee the little tapping/rubbing stims he does but I don't have a gif of those

And his head tilts

He is so dog

most noticably, his repetitive circling motion with his thumb over his empty knife holster (which he often touches for reassurance in a kind of muscle-memory reaching for a weapon that isn't there)

then his light tracing of the map, brushing his fingers over it to situate himself, and just the delicate way he handles everything in general, like he's trying hard not to damage anything (he's very physical/visual, he also uses his hands when gesturing directions)

when he finds the Eden pendant he ties it around his wrist to keep it secure, but he also holds it enclosed in his palm. he keeps it tight in his fist under his thumb. part reverence part anchor to home
