He'd Do That - Tumblr Posts
A concept, if you will:
Ulthane accidentally steps on humans foot: :(
Reaction?
He is soso sad for like a week.
The human is not allowed to put weight on their [perfectly fine] foot for aaaaages.
thinking about matt stealing some random person's digital camera and taking like a billion pictures of mello doing the most mundane shit
long ass post about barry being a silent protagonist
going to dump this idea here but i really like the idea of Barry being a mute protagonist character. dont get me wrong i love the guy's voice i never want him to shut up but. hear me out.
i'm really diggin the idea of him being silent because when i was a little scrimblo playing JJ on an old ass Samsung tablet that still has the shiny reflective icons and probably hasn't gotten an update in 8 years, i hadn't seen any of the animated shorts, the rock operas, none of that. possibly the trailer, but i don't think so. Barry never talks ingame so i just kinda assumed that he's just a silent character (he also doesn't talk in the trailer but as i mentioned i dunno if i watched that)! also for some reason not knowing his backstory made me more attached to him being mute..? i dunno, i guess the simplicity of knowing him as a silent character who just flies around on a jetpack for shits and giggles and not because he was a struggling salesman is kinda charming to me.
i like to think of mute Barry as being a little more gentle! yeah he's still a tough badass who shoots scientists with his jetpack and blasts monsters in the face with a shotgun but he's a badass in a "lets go shoot zombies and then eat ice cream after :)" kind of way (but he obviously doesn't say that because, y'know, he's mute). he likes his downtime, he's a good listener and he's a little more intelligent and aware of his surroundings. he's kinda the Barry i grew up with in my head y'know? i think i'll make him a kind of AU counterpart or somethin'. shoutout to mute Barry, love this Barry!!
also the JJ logo/icon with him grinning whilst flying on the jetpack has like... autism vibes?? it's hard to explain but as an autistic guy myself i think my radar's going off. he just has neurodivergent vibes it's awesome :D
tl;dr, i always kinda thought of Barry as being mute as a kid since i had never heard him speak before, so in my head that was the Barry i subconsciously grew up with and he's pretty swell :)
