Do you guys ever think about how Curly is as codependent on Jimmy as Jimmy is on Curly? Curly works so hard to see the good in Jimmy, and to help other people see that too.

Curly probably didn't grow up with that many friends, and Jimmy took this as an opportunity to delude his sense of what being a friend is, what "love" is like, and continued to do this even now when we see them. Making him feel lonely, and forcing him to be dependent on Jimmy in some way. Isolating him further, ruining his chances of ever talking to someone else, leaving him, finding out he deserves better than Jimmy.

The night time scene about the dead pixel. Curly says that he can't see the dead pixel, but he knows it's there. And that it's going him crazy that he can't actually see it himself, and that dead pixel is a good representation of Jimmy in both characters, Curly and Anya.

To Anya, the dead pixel is a fog, it is a consuming black hole that is always at the back of her mind no matter what she does. And for someone like Curly, it's right in front of him, but he still cannot see it, because he is too busy looking at the bigger picture, even if that is just an illusion. He is seeing past the dead pixel because he believes that there can still be good in Jimmy despite everything.

He didn't know Jimmy raped Anya, he didn't know that. He thought that this was just another one of his spirals, his outbursts of anger, just his usual breakdown where nothing happens, he just gets angry, maybe a bit physical, but Curly has always been in place to take those hits, which is why he told Anya that she should have waited for Curly to do it with her.

Thats why he takes the situation talking to Jimmy the way he does, because he genuinely thinks that this can be solved by just talking it out and calming him down. Curly eliminates all other threats and all other potentials, targets, and victims, in that situation. Putting himself in between it all, to face the brunt of Jimmy's anger and violence.

That it is just him, that it is just them both. That they will work it out, together. Just like always. He gravely underestimates Jimmy's anger because he does not know the severity of the situation at hand, and is in utter disbelief that Jimmy even goes through with crashing the ship, and even when Jimmy is directly in his face telling him he is going to crash the ship, Curly doesn't believe it or think he would because he's angry, because he is just upset, that it'll all be fine, we'll work it out together.

Because Jimmy is even in disbelief that he did what he did.

Curly's greatest weakness was choosing to see the good in people before everything else. To understand that our worst moments don't make us monsters.

I just wanted to crosspost this for anyone who isn’t on instagram

'curlys lack of proper intervention enabled jimmy to continue his abuse towards anya and the rest of the crew and his character is a showcase of how men refuse to acknowledge the issue and take it seriously when their friends turn out to be predators. his inaction becoming the initial cause of everyones demise in the end is part of the games commentary on rape culture and how it affects the victims and everyone around them'

and

'curly isnt an inherently evil person but in fact a very human and relatable character who was genuinely upset with wht jimmy did but didnt want to take drastic measures in tht very moment to avoid causing more harm to anyone bcuz he knew jimmy was unpredictable and prone to becoming aggressive and he tried to handle the situation carefully (altho failed to do so in the end)'

r 2 statements tht can coexist btw

useless ray of goddamn sunshine

an accomplice turned victim his apology, long overdue

Maw cleanser or something

Why am I actually crying at some of these (facts that come out in the Encanto books) and why would they all make PERFECT prompts for one shots??? I’m getting an idea here ugh.

I’m probably the last person to notice this photograph of Julistin outside Isabela’s room but I am CRYING, look at his goofy lil face 😭
