Let's Go Gambling!

1. The bit. Markiplier winning the tournament would be ridiculous. Also he’d probably say something about it and that would be even more funny

2. LOOK AT HIM he’s a sad hot man drenched in blood and trauma. What more can you ask for????????

3. I would get to never shut up about it

4. Tangential propaganda: what if we make him and Ryland grace go at it in the finals?

5. It supports fandom morale for crossovers. Simon is one half of bloodymary, the most fun thing I’ve seen happen in fandom in the few years I’ve been around here.

6. My friends would never hear the end of it

7. YOUR friends have the opportunity to never hear the end of it

8. He has so much angst potential. Like so much. You can throw buckets of it on him and he’ll still stand up afterwards and want to live.

JUST.

and in I’m Alive when Dan says “it isnt always about your comfort, it’s about helping your mother” and Natalie says “as always” because it has never been about her comfort, it has always been about helping Diana and she has always been left to figure it out on her own

and then in Song of Forgetting when Natalie hugs Dan, initiating contact with someone other than Henry for the first (and i think only) time in the show because she’s in so much pain because her mother forgot who she was and he hugs her back until Diana starts to remember when they met and then he pulls away and once again doesn’t offer her the support she needs because he’s too focused on Diana

and how throughout the show Natalie still acts as her mother’s protector (“that’s bullshit, she trusts you!” right before Didn’t I See This Movie, yelling at her dad when he breaks the music box, and driving her to the hospital during I’m Alive reprise) because she still cares about her so much and wishes she would get better so she can have a good relationship with her

and at the end right after I Am The One reprise when she walks in and Dan starts sobbing and she becomes the one that takes care of him by reassuring him and turning on the lights because she knows that he needs it and she’s so used to putting her own pain on hold
