#and they go off to save the universe

[idrilearfalas]

If Marvel has a heart the series will end with Mobius and Loki driving together a jet ski, laughing and teasing each other but clearly in love, and then the camera will move to Sylvie, watching from a distance, someone next to her we don't see yet.

And she tells them, "You see? I wasn't lying"

And the camera shows this other person and it's our Thor (audience goes OMG), teared up but with a smile on his face saying, "You weren't. He really is happy"

#lokius #loki #and obviously you realize that loki and Mobius have built a life together #maybe Sylvie even say something about how disgustingly in love they are #and she is secretly happy about it #but feels also lonely #and Thor senses this and invites her to go with him #'you're my sister after all' #and they go off to save the universe #while Loki and Mobius get their happy ending

hey you wanna make a game thats so cool. youre using godot? then you'll need to write your code in GDscript! that's like Python, so look up some lessons for that. maybe look into some JavaScript while you're at it. and if you're making a game, why not make a website for it! just takes a little HTML and CSS. oh by the way, that game, you realized you need shaders to do something? awesome, awesome, well you'll need to use GLSL to make those, that's a type of openGL which is kind of like C. by the way this is trigonometry

THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING not aloud BUT

if i had a nickel for every time there was a cool-toned antagonistic teenaged cyclops character with terrible hair in a kids show who had just the most awful things happen to them, ended up paralyzed and stuck lying there on the ground for a while at some point, and just wanted to save everyone but couldn’t save anyone, i’d have two nickels. which isnt a lot

but it’s weird that it happened twice

#at least gumbalal STAYED WITH ROB WHEN HE TURNED HIM OFF >:( #i think robs storyline wouldnt have hit me so hard if i wasnt pointing at him every time i saw him and going haha blaine adventuretime #'just wanted to save everyone' youre so dramatic. blaines friend got killed and they wanted to protect everyone from dark magic #rob just wanted to save everyone from erasure you cant take that from me. he couldnt save anyone. #'just the most awful things' blaines friend DIED then their teacher PARALYZED them and LEFT them for dead at NIGHT in an ALLEYWAY #and ROB got ERASED by the ENTIRE UNIVERSE and NO ONE would help him and no one WILL help him and now hes DEAD again #staring. a lot. at these guys. #terrible little whistleblowers who tried to figure out what was wrong and suffered for it. theyre like. babies. what #haha whistleblowers. get it. blaine. get it. ge. get it. #ok im done #sorry for putting your reply on blast ive had this building up for A While #tawog #adventure time #distant lands #not art #dark-carnival-collective

Time and the Deity

I am thinking of a land saved by a little boy, that saved a little boy.

Termina watched the stranger soothe the pains of another child gone, and gave him another song, another bit of magic. He acted to save. Termina's heroes were dead or dying, so the land gave them to the boy to strengthen him, to reforge a new living hero.

And he blossomed in this, collected such happiness, dragged the land back from the brink again and again and again, until he could save everyone. Until he and the land and the power shaped a deity, and did save everyone that had poured life into them.

And that deity is Termina too - it's people, their gratitude. Gratitude so divine it could cleanse a demon- or change a human into more.

But then the boy left Termina. And the deity is not known in Hyrule, not needed in Hyrule. The hero child isn't either.

Come back home, the god in mask calls. Come back to Termina. We need you. Why did you leave?

The child says nothing and ignores the call. He is looking for someone else. Someone that left him without a word.

But eventually, years later, he needs the god again- he puts the mask back on and draws a divine sword.

The enemies fall at his feet. And then his feet step over the bodies, moving back towards Termina. He cannot stop, he cannot turn the direction of home, the ranch, his wife and life there now- the god of Termina can move once more, and he is going back.

So the hero, no longer a child, cuts the godhood off him.

He can't put the mask back on, ever. If he does he will be whisked away to another world, and he won't come back. It's a beautiful world, Termina, one that he loves and is grateful to- but he chose to leave. After everything he has lost, he will not lose that too.

#lu time #ive been thinking about different interpretations of the fierce deity #and how Time 'fears the thing that killed (Majora) more' but still keeps the mask with him #how he 'can never put the mask back on or he won't be able to take it off' #but he did not destroy it #and in *lu canon* Time did not participate in the war of eras #(Wars's army allied with other kingdoms of their time instead) #so it's not like Time keeps FD around for gratitude of saving him and helping others in the war #he doesn't have the face marks when he proposes to Malon #i genuinely think it makes sense that he only put it on outside of Termina once #so... maybe FD just wanted to go home? #did he know time passed? was he aware of what his little champion was doing and growing up? #did he not know and was just trying to return them both home to Termina? had no idea what he was stealing away from the man? #or did he know and not care? because it doesn't matter Time's choices‚ he belongs with the people of termina instead? did he feel betrayed? #or simply think that Time would be able to neatly replace his wife with her Terminan counterpart? #lots of options! #linked universe #yeah sure why not main tag it

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

yaz voice: i keep thinking,,, i keep thinking abt the.....future affecting the past of it all. the "if he runs out of time the hostile action would end and a time machine would know", "im fine because you fixed yourself", and "because it's not a grave"

like if it were me. if it were me. i still would have gone with the villa diodati conundrum. "save the poet, save the universe" what do we do when the poet IS the universe. "watch people burn now or tomorrow" like the distinction exists? like tomorrow isnt yesterday?

so we make them face the child. the doctor loses this one, right? too beholden to their rules. lost with shelley, will lose with the child. because there is no way to win it. not with the rules of the universe theyve clung to up to this point. not without play

so theres a child that needs to be saved but the doctor cant do it because it will take the foundation out from under the universe. she Can Not interfere. she fails to be the doctor when it comes to herself. but yaz is there. doctor's doctor. wont accept this. saves the child

the universe crumbles, but this or tecteun's revenge the outcome is similar except. the universe that crumbles if you save the child is the timelords' universe, their imposed histories, their laws, their logic. nothing makes sense anymore. it's terrifying. gotta let go gotta let go gotta let go. you HAVE to play. play or perish. please it's not that serious. it's just identity! funniest game there is. listen to the master; tag, youre it

#i admit theres a lot of details to work out #a lot of details ive forgotten about also #but give me a minute and a rewatch of every episode since 2019 and i'll be good to go #hdfkjhgj #i Would like to write my own version of idk everything since halfway s12 i guess #but it'd be so much work man #and for who #well me i suppose #maybe one day #also now that ive written it out loud a 'future affecting the past' theme seems inevitable if youve got a writer #responding to his own old work #but i really do need to rewatch to remind myself of all the details i need to fill in and check off here #theres a lot im missing #but if it were me! #if it were me the scene where yaz stops the doctor and runs off to save the child would echo the end of 12x10 #the aftermath of it would be brutal i think #13 would be torn apart by conflicting impulses #YOU SHOULDNT HAVE/yes you should have it was the right thing to do/but ILLEGALIMPOSSIBLE/you did what i coudlnt (shamepride)/ #it was done for love/how dare you/it was done for ME/the universe cant suffer for me i cant bear that/ #you had no right to make that choice/i wanted to protect you from it/you had no right to put the end of the universe on me like that #she would break open completely it'd be messy as fuck #and incredible to see #and then i havent even imagined yazs responses yet

Thinking more about my isat au and I'm gonna need to change a LOT more than I thought. First things first, Siffrin's connection to the wish. Since in Of gems and pages, all the wishes stayed the same. So why is Odile the one looping and not Siff? So basically, what I think I'd do in my au is that the Universe decided to change things up a bit.

The first time the Universe granted Siffrin the means to fulfill their wish, things went horribly bad (just look at Loop). So this time, the Universe decided to give this new Siffrin, something a lil different. They still gave Siffrin the timeloop But made Odile his proxy. So that Siffrin may have helpers in this new timeline, with Loop as the guide and Odile helping as well, it Should go better, right??? And since the wish is connected with Siffrin's emotions, the Universe can't just completely make it Odile's problem now, sooo basically... Siffrin can still remember Parts of a previous loop PRIOR to their deaths.

That means during the beginning of canon when Siff was crushed by a boulder, he remembers that. And found Loop as well, but when he accidentally ended up touching a tear, he now Doesn't remember being crushed by a boulder but by being frozen in time. At the same time, he ALSO doesn't remember Anything else prior to it. So he doesn't remember that there's a boulder that can kill him by the entrance of the House, he doesn't remember Loop. All he remembers is that somehow, one way or another, he was frozen in time within the House and needs to be more careful with the tears. And because of the way that the loops affect Siffrin now is faaar too different than how it affected Loop, he can't go forwards or backwards in time. Siff will always awaken back in the meadow and Loop will always have to do their whole speech all over again (which would most likely annoy them immediately cuz why? Why is it so different now? Why can't this Siffrin REMEMBER?)

Odile on the other hand, remembers ALL the loops and finds a lot of discrepancies with Siffrin. It takes awhile for her to meet Loop and they get to talk to each other. Their meeting would be pretty... rocky at first. Loop still getting regarded as a stranger by Odile, Loop finding out that Odile is the one getting affected by the timeloop from their own selfish wish. Even if that Siffrin isn't them, it doesn't change the fact that they both made the same wish. Loop thinkin bout being such a favourite cosmic joke of the Universe that not only were they turned into This, one of their family members are suffering cuz of them. And she doesn't even recognize them. It'd be pretty hard at first too cuz Loop doesn't know that their appearance changed yet, there's no mirror. For Loop, they might still look like Siffrin, right? But Odile's reaction to seeing them says otherwise.

Anyway in this au, stage wise, Odile is the actor, Siffrin is the director, and the Universe is the audience. Book wise, Odile is the character, Siffrin is the writer, and the Universe is the reader. Why is Siffrin the director or the writer and not the Universe? That's because the timeloops are Still connected to his emotions, if something he didn't want to think about happens like, that argument with Bonbon (just as an example. I'm wondering if that'll still happen here considering that only happened because of Siff had memories of all the loops in canon. He doesn't have that in this au anymore), time would loop back still, so in a way, Siff Is writing how the timeloops go.

#aria rants #isat spoilers #isat au #of gems and pages au #ogap au #also why did the Universe choose odile? i like to think that the Universe finds her as being skilled enough to be able #to easily help fulfill that wish considering that she Was able to deduce the timeloop when given enough clues #at the same time. odile also seems to be both really close to siffrin (the fact that they go on secret quests before) #and far away from the party emotionally. odile doesnt regard anyone as ''friends'' and so convinces herself that theyre just colleagues #but deep down. she also knows how much she cares for everyone to the point of willing to do unspeakable things to anyone that #dares harm any of them. she cares so much but doesnt know the word to describe it. friends doesnt cut it. the idea of them #being like family to her hasnt crossed her mind yet when the only family she knows of and have is broken and incomplete (her mom left them) #so shes seems to be emotionally distant from them. she wanted to ask bout continuing traveling with the others but doesnt know How #the Universe sees that and thought that should there be anyone that can easily help siffrin then itd be odile. unfortunately #for the Universe. they didnt quite expect siff being too closed off and dodgy in regards to his own emotions #so it still end up being difficult. even more so now that odile doesnt have the Full picture at all. she has no idea why #this is happening to her in the first place. she only knows it has something to do with siff and during the sequence #before new loop+ happened. the Universe most likely gave odile that chance both out of pity and hope that everything #will finally turn out better This Time. but because of the fact that odile Was dying and she exhausted her craft powers #she cant be brought back to the previous loops easily anymore cuz even if its still connected siff. her ability to be #brought back to loops hinges on craft power as well. siff is just the switch to it. so in a way. shes Supposed to be dead now #but the Universe heard siff's wish and granted the means to save odile as well as grant the previous wish he made #its just that such a wish cant be without a penalty. and that penalty is the timer on odile's life. they have only 99 tries left

also regis swearing at stygga is so meaningful to me because he swore over milva’s dead body and also in front of angoulême (and assumedly cahir too)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#txt #especially because milva was like… not only his friend but he cared for her medically… #i mean he did for everyone (including cahir and dandelion’s head injuries) but #idk regis seeing her dead when he had saved her life under the bridge and counselled her about pregnancy and abortion #and (i guess it’s headcanon but) when her ribs were broken by the druids and she was healing from that he was there for her #milva was beat up by the narrative but regis was always there with bandages lol #so to see her DEAD completely DEAD with no possibility of healing her #also because *he was off* and he paused for a drink (or two—who knows how many) #of course he’s like ‘fuck this place. i’m going to fuck this shit up’ because how shitty of a surgeon must he feel right now #and if he can’t protect his friends now with medicine well the only other option in his arsenal is Fucking Shit Up #his NOSEDIVE begins early in the halls of stygga castle and he just starts losing it #milva: dies | me: oh… oh they’re *all* gonna die huh… #who knows if regis had returned to the rest of the company and milva was still alive. who knows. maybe he wouldn’t have continued to drink #and maybe he wouldn’t have made that suicidal leap towards vilgefortz in the end #i think that in the loss of the rest of the company regis had nothing left to live for #both from an in-universe POV and from a narrative writing POV #because remember that there were previously written versions in which regis survived and lived #so paying attention to not just when he dies but when he starts to go on this downward trajectory is relevant #because sapkowski intentionally devised a way in which he would die that would be plausible for his character #which means that his death isn’t just random. this version was a specially crafted version to ‘allow’ for his death #i love how AS was like well yeah of course milva and cahir are going to die. but yeah i admit angouleme and regis are just stupid #(to clarify he said angouleme dies stupidly) #but i think saying ‘there were other versions in which the vampire survived’ = this is the version where he is stupid #c: regis #analysis #IN THE TAGS lol #book: lady of the lake

i wish i had more collected and intellectual thoughts on jim and la’an. instead my brain just screams about them all the time

#ohhhh what if i was so cynical of everything. what if i was frigid and closed off and so afraid of other people #and i met someone with a passion for the universe. who loved everything and saw the beauty in it all. and just wanted to explore. #now am i talking about jim or la’an #my fave thing 2x03 does is subvert their traditional roles/characterisations #jim is suddenly that hardened survivalist who needs no one; la’an is wide eyed optimist who believes in the universe’s beauty #bc au jim is from another time!! where there is no earth for him to love!! there is so spock to keep him steady!! he’s lost his brother!! #and his planet!! and in turn his hope and awe #vs la’an from trek’s usual “”utopia“” who now has to convince jim HER timeline is worth saving #‘you could be an explorer’….. she says it with such wistfulness. wanting that role for herself in her own timeline #and YES ofc au jim is also full of whimsy and la’an is still very stiff but that hotel scene makes me crazyyyyyyy #i love how they make jim into the battle hardened soldier. and la’an has to become the beacon of hope #i think that makes her realise a lot about herself :) #i could talk about this episode alone for hours lol but i won’t bc i was meant to go to bed soon #me being like oh maybe i can get an early night :) BOOM struck down by noonirk thoughts #star trek #star trek snw #james kirk #la’an noonien singh #noonirk #ka’an #kirk x la'an

head in hands miles’s arc in spiderverse means so much to me. choosing to embody all that spiderman IS by earnestly trying to save those around him and rejecting the notion that he should simply lie down and let fate take its course....augh....

#my BOY. #thinking about it so much fr #the way BEING spiderman is about the trying #trying to save others regardless of how it plays out #you arent always able to yes. thats what the critical deaths in the spiderman narrative are ABOUT but you must try #the way pavitr truly EMBODIES his identity as spiderman the moment he looks at what he thinks is an inevitable fate and says no! im going to #try to save both! #the way gwen reembraces what it truly means to be spidergwen by going to try protect miles' dad #GOD. #the way miguel sees the destruction of the dimension he hopped over to as a catostrophic consequence for him trying to buck fate #where - even though yes he must shoulder responsibility for what he tried to do - he was never more spiderman than when he tried to save #those IN that dimension #he doesnt realise. he thinks in failing he must crush any resembalence of divergence he sees in other people #because he desperately wants to crush that desire in himself even when he cant help but give in to it on occassion #such as offering gwen a refuge where per his own code he should have simply allowed her universe to play out (and without a moment to cool #off it seems unlikely for gwens dad to have relented and truly THOUGHT about what he was compromising by arressting his daughter.) #AUGHHHHHH MILES MY BOY. #across the spiderverse #spiderverse spoilers

i hope you all know the andrew brainrot is happening simultaneously with the touya brainrot like i have in fact not moved on ive instead found a newer weirder state of being where every single fucking thing relates to them and they both relate to each other and my brain is going to. explode

the most unrealistic part of steven universe is that the zoomans speak and understand modernized english.

#ok so pink diamond was 'shattered' around 5000 years ago and rose/pink had the idea to save humans around 6000 years ago. #so that's a huge timeframe for the zoo to be made #let's simplify it down to 5500 years ago #around this time humans had barely even formed the wheel let alone a writing system. #it was literally the end of the stone age #going off this then the most likely languages the zoomans would actually speak would be greek egyptian sumerian hebrew sanskrit tamil #chinese arabic and aramaic. #notice how not a single one of them is even a romance language let alone a germanic romance language? #the zoomans would not speak english. PERIOD. #I can get behind even homeworld gems speaking English bc their bodies already adapt to the gravity of a planet automatically. maybe they #also automatically adapt to the main language of whatever lifeform is near them at that time #however. #english did not exist when pink was colonizing the planet or when she made the zoo. the *building blocks* for english did not even exist ye #so no #there is no explanation that actually makes sense even IF you give it the benefit of the doubt #it is not believably unrealistic either. #it's just plain unrealistic #bro imagine how cool it would be if they showed up and the zoomans spoke a combination of different ancient languages mixed WITH gemlish? #ik it's asking a lot but #:(((( i hate when aspects of fantasy/scifi are just so out of the realm of possible that it takes you right out of the immersion. #steven universe

OKAY SO; Heinrich's mom died when he was young like 8-9, and his dad being a veteran of ww2 with ptsd & some pretty heavy survivors guilt & now a wife who just didn't wake up one morning turned to drinking. So Heinrich has this whole "after my mom died my dad was never sober, not as far as i remember, and yeah he went through a lot but I still resent him for not being there for me".

Heinrich's dad dies when Heinrich is just shy of 18. He has a little melt down, goes "i don't want to be here anymore". And with literally zero plan and two bags of his stuff just leaves. Ends up in the UK, with no job, barely anything to his name, and not sure if he's even going to stay there. (part of him thinks it's not far enough from Germany)

Romulus was a hippy through and through, he was all 'peace and free love ✌️' probably lived in a commune of sorts (just too many people in one house but hey it was home). He had run away from home when he was about 16 because his parents were ✨shitty✨, and was living his own found family trope.

Heinrich finds out finding a job when technically you're not there at all, and also homeless is harder than he thought. So he's on the streets for a solid two weeks until Romulus is walking home from a party and finds him. He tells Heinrich he can come stay with him and his 'family' and Heinrich has a moment of "i could get murdered if I go with him, i could also get murdered sleeping on a park bench" he goes with Romulus. They share a room (did I mention too many people in one house) and it's fine bc they're strictly homies, plus it's just for a few nights until Heinrich finds a job.

a few nights turns into a few months, about a month and a half in Romulus tells Heinrich "Listen, I don't mind you staying, but you should come with us to this march! It'll be fun, and it's for a good cause and I don't think it's much to ask on our part :\" While there some idiot says something, Romulus looks at Heinrich "Can kiss you?" "what?!" "Can I kiss you?" "...sure?" and Romulus kisses Heinrich right on the mouth for the cause of pissing off a homophobe.

a few nights later before bed "you know how you kissed me a few a days ago?" "Yeah, why? Did u like it :p?" "...yeah" "do you want me to kiss you again?" "...yes please" they never officially label their relationship but they sure are kissing a lot.

anyway six to eight months go by, Heinrich still hasn't found a job. And while he's grateful for a roof over his head, and he doesn't mind pitching in with housework, and Romulus sure isn't bad either, he gets tired of waiting around, and he gets real sick of the rest of the housemates.

One night he tells Heinrich they have to have a talk, he enlisted in the military. He was going to be an army mechanic, they get in a whole argument "I want a family Romulus!" "we are your family!" "no! I want a spouse! someone who's just mine, I want kids, I want my own house, I don't want to have to rely on kindness for food that night or money for rent," Romulus gets really quiet, "We're anti military, if you joined the military you can't live here anymore. Leave" Heinrich didn't say he expected anything else. He leaves.

He's going to get his wife, and his kids, and the house and a steady job. Romulus will too eventually, it would take him awhile longer though.

Then fifty years later they're both going to show up for some seniors game night and go "...oh fuck"

but anyway yeah thoughts?

thoughts. THOUGHTS?????

MY BROTHER IN CHRIST I HAVE NO THOUGHTS THIS IS WONDERFUL AND ACTUALLY SO WELL THOUGHT OUT WTFFFFFFFFF.

Imagine seeing the guy you lived with and kissed a couple times in a free love commune in the 80s 50 years later and you once again have the violent urge to kiss him after 50 fucking years even if the last time you saw him you had a massive argument.

And they're both widows, Heinrich at this point has a 7 year old Gilbert and a 3 year old Ludwig and needs help and Romulus is more than happy to provide it but over time they get really close again and Ludwig basically grow up with Romulus as Grandpa number 2 and so much of Gilbert's formative experiences with affection between adults comes from Heinrich and Romulus being fucking Weirdly Cuddly. Which is why later on he can't tell the difference between having a crush on Alfred and just being good friends.

But also imagine present day Gilbert going, hey, how did you two even meet?

Heinecih evades the question and Romulus flatly goes hippy free love commune. And blows Gilbert's mind.

"Opa, you weRE A HIPPY?

"NO, NO, I just needed a place to stay."

#no. But I wish we were. One day he'll realise but let's hope we're both still alive by that point cause it's taken #him 50 years #Spy au #This is becoming a universe #I want to write so many spin offs save my soul. I want to write Gilbert and Alfred's adventures in uni I want to write romulus and heinrich #Bisexual old men I love them #But also imagine Romano and Feli going ......nonno are you dating the repressed old german man #And romulus going
