I'm so annoyed at the edgy kids on tiktok actually believing Luz (or Raine or anyone) is gonna get killed off

First of: Disney won't allow a main character to fucking die in a kids show

Second: Why do you want Dana to pull a "bury the gays" trope so badly? After she worked so hard to make the main character be in an openly queer relationship?! Hello??????

Dana doesn't "hate happy endings" as I see everyone on that platform constantly parrot, she hates the phrase "happily ever after", because it's a storytelling cop out for any other story other than children's fairytales.

Edit: Reblogs off because this was a vent post that got too much attention and people arguing semantics about a trope i haphazardly mentioned instead of realizing that killing off an out and proud queer character that probably the author fought hard to make that way, with whistles and flags and called such in name, against is the mouse corporation, may be an improbable outcome and also kind of problematic, are becoming annoying.

#magical adventures of freaky #the owl house #/but the parallels/ ARE THERE TO SHOW HOW YOU BREAK THE CYCLE OF ABUSE #we see the parallels and see how the current generation decided to not FOLLOW THE SAME PATH #also side note killing someone off and then instantly reviving them isnt killing them off #if they can come back to life they aint dead it aint counting Anne was alive in amphibia despite the trauma of death #so shes not /killed off/

For hazbin hotel au: what if alastor arrives at young age? Let say an incident which both he and his ma die at same time but because of his heritage, he got sent to hell, forced to survive in the streets until he meet Charlie and the rest of the hotel residents. How do you think will happen if he meet Lucifer?

Oh, so an AU of the AU? Sounds fun! Let me think...

Well, my first thought is that Alastor's demon form would be fairly different, since it's so closely tied into the manner in which he died. Buuuuut... I really like him as a deer demon, so I'm going to handwave that away. I'm also going to have him keep his powers associated with radio, despite him not yet having become a radio host, with the justification that listening to the radio shows together with Nicaise and making her laugh by perfectly imitating the radio man's accent were such fond memories for him they carried over to his demon form.

Ultimately, this version of Alastor still becomes the Radio Demon. But unlike the Alastor who died as an adult, nobody knows what the Radio Demon looks like. He's a mystery, known only for his radio broadcasts and striking down Overlords from the shadows. So when this little red kid with deer ears shows up on Charlie's doorstep introducing himself as the Radio Demon, she and Vaggie are understandably skeptical.

That skepticism dies when he blasts Sir Pentious's airship right out of the sky.

Alastor still brings in Niffty and Husk - two of the only people who know who the Radio Demon really is - still fixes up the building, and still acts as the facility manager. But everyone involved in the hotel keeps his identity a secret, at his request.

When Lucifer arrives at the hotel, he's in sheer disbelief that the hotel's manager is this tiny kid. Never mind Alastor frequently pointing out that he's around a hundred years old now. That doesn't really clarify anything for Lucifer who's several millennia old. He's less of a condescending jerkass to Alastor at first, seeing him as a kid, but Alastor doesn't take kindly to being treated like a child. So Alastor does what Alastor does and prods under Lucifer's armor. He starts throwing himself at Charlie, hanging off her arm, acting like a precocious kid and interrupting Lucifer's attempts to bond with her while shooting the King of Hell smug looks.

Charlie finds it a bit weird given Alastor usually acts more like an adult, but she does think it's kind of cute so she allows it. Lucifer is furious. He frequently refers to Alastor as, 'that damn brat,' and casually picks him up and teleports him to other rooms of the hotel for 'a time out' and generally treats Alastor like he's a nuisance, not a member of the hotel staff.

And then... Alastor's parentage comes out.

Lucifer is just as awkward with the childlike version of Alastor as he is with the version who died as an adult. That awkwardness just manifests differently. He keeps trying to make amends by treating Alastor as though he's an actual kid, lavishing him with gifts, inviting him on trips, so on and so forth. Alastor really doesn't think he should have to decline a trip to Lu Lu World more than once. Charlie tries to step in on his behalf, but she's not so great at dealing with Lucifer's awkwardness either.

One of the most insulting gifts is a pet, similar to Razzle and Dazzle, who is supposed to keep Alastor safe.

Alastor explodes.

He died when he was ten and he's been keeping himself safe ever since then, thank you very much! He was strong enough and clever enough to become one of the most feared Overlords in the Pentagram, all without ever showing his face once! And it's been over a hundred years since then! If Lucifer wanted to be his dad, he's about a century too late!

Unfortunately, one of the downsides of being stuck in a child's body is that sometimes his adult emotions are too big for it. All the anger and frustration comes out as tears, which only makes Alastor that much angrier. Lucifer tries to offer comfort, to pull Alastor into a hug, but Alastor melts into the shadows before Lucifer can even touch him.

#ask #anonymous #Hazbin Hotel #the Devil's Bastard AU #kid Alastor AU #the poll results are in! #although this is a spinoff AU... #I started writing out the whole history of kiddo Alastor waking up in Hell and rising to become the Radio Demon #including him making a deal with someone who HATES Lucifer #then I realized I was going off topic #but some other changes that come with Alastor dying as a kid: #he never met Mimzy when she was alive. they might have crossed paths in Hell but she doesn't come running to him for protection #since she doesn't know Alastor IS the Radio Demon #Vox still has his obsession with the Radio Demon #but since they never met face to face and never became friends it's more of a straightforward rivalry #Vox has no clue who Alastor is and doesn't care #kid Alastor is friends with Rosie still #she doesn't know how powerful he is but she has some guesses #she treats him a bit like a stray cat who swings by her shop every so often stays a few days begs for treats then dips #Rosie has offered to let Alastor live with her permanently but he refused #since Alastor didn't attend the Overlord meeting in person he didn't learn about the exorcist's death the same way #his shadow attended and reported to him later #and he went to investigate Carmilla himself later on #his relationship with Niffty is mostly the same #Husk doesn't like kiddo Alastor drinking and keeps trying to stop him #with no success #They're relationship is pretty similar to canon but Husk is the tiniest bit sympathetic #since Husk can just look at the age that Alastor died at and know how badly that must have fucked him up

Thinking thoughts about Abuela being back and with this backstory about her being taken in by charlatans and Eddies whole catholic guilt thing and how the two things kind of play into one another as an exploration of faith and being taken in by something.

Abuela giving all her money to the tarot card readers etc because she was searching for something - for connection (with Abuelo) - trying to recapture what she had lost, and How Eddie has spoken about trying to re-find the magic he had with Shannon - how Eddie hasn't actually fully reconciled the Shannon of it all when it comes to relationships and how his Catholic guilt connects into that.

How Marisol as a physical representation of Catholicism is part of that narrative - how Eddie is entering a place where he has to chose his path - in order to move on from Shannon he needs to fully square the hole - catholic or non catholic. And how that needs to happen first - before he can begin his queer journey!

#this is so incoherant #I'm also thinking about how Marisol fits into this narrative and how this idea of being taken in or fooled by a person plays into what we #know of her - how she wasn't upfront with Eddie (not saying she had to be right from the off but before moving in!!!) - how she is kind of #representative of secrets - especially around faith and ones connection with faith because she is essentially a stand in for catholicism #which (sorry to all the catholics out there) peddles in magic and secrets in order to keep the mystery of faith alive and therefore keep #people believing. How Eddie's reckoning with himself and the ghost of Shannon ultimately means choosing either to follow the path of #catholicism or non catholicism #How Marisol is a tie to religion and therefore his reasons for not having successful relationships after her (or even with her) and how #Eddie letting go will ultimately mean letting go of Marisol - how he can never fully move forward while catholicism still lingers #how I don't' think we'll be seeing the queer aspect of this narrative this season - that dealing with this first part is key and only once #he has figured it out can he then be free to know himself - is true self better - and accept and move into his full self as a queer man #so yeah - catholic guilt arc 7b and 8a - as its really a two parter - finally dealing with the remnants of Shannon - and its connection wit #his faith and then when truly free of that exploring his queerness! #So yeah - Marisol will possibly be here until towards the end of the season because she is meant to be the trigger point for Eddie in #relation to Shannon - its why they made the difference (and similarities) between S and M very obvious in 7x01 #they have the time to build this story arc more fully now with the s8 renewal - to do it justice and unfortunately as part of that it means #she'll probably be around longer than any of us would like! #I don't know if I even make sense at this point #but I do want to reitterate that the show is goig out of its way to contrast her with Buck as well #to really show how close and right for each other Buck and Eddie are so no one needs to panic - she's here for the narrative not forever! #911 abc #911 spoilers #eddie diaz

Right I'm not saying Odin's not had a terrible amount of colonialism and war going on over his however-long-it's-been reign but when Thor wants to lay waste to Jotunheim and Odin tells him off for this it's not just hypocrisy at work, because the Odin of the timeframe of that movie seems sure that this would be Wrong not just politically bothersome and yet he also doesn't really explain to Thor why things are different now and putting that together what you have is this: Odin can't explain his own apparent change of heart without revealing that "oh yeah your brother's a Jotun," even though he must be fairly sure that this information would stop Thor's xenophobic bloodlust in its tracks as effectively as it did his own.

#thor (2011) #mcu tag i guess #he's had plenty of time to think of a handy excuse that doesn't give anything away but in that reality things are less dramatic generally #like in the reality where when Odin fainted Frigga (remember her?) explained their thought process and expressed their love etc #and you know what now i wonder *when* sylvie got told she was adopted cos it *could* be not long before she wandered off-path #i think we've all assumed she just always knew? but if not the TVA come cos she's still playing valkyrie-saves-ppl AFTER she knows the trut #which would mean SHE did nothing 'wrong' - the point of divergence was her parents failing to traumatise her sufficiently and spark off #a spiral into villainy for her. which then also means they DID fuck up her life by not fucking her up enough. oh the irony :(

The way grrm combined so many themes of queenship, motherhood, tragedy, reputation, controversy and ambition from so many historical queens in creating Rhaenyra is honestly iconic 💅

#i'll make a more detailed post on this eventually HOWEVER #I don't agree with the idea that Rhaenyra is an Empress Matilda rip off #the idea of her being declared heir and her right usurped it's obviously taken from there #but she has many traits from other different queens #her execution for example - matilda was not executed #that's obviously an anne boleyn mary queen of scots katherine howard jane grey etc. factor #her motherhood and one of her sons being considered dead until he miraculously reappears #it has elements borrowed from the rumours surrounding the princes in the tower and the pretenders that claimed to be them #her secret marriage for love #her first husband being murdered which cleared the path for her second marriage #the rumours of bastardy surrounding her children #her ambition and politicking #and so many other things #are a combination of various things that george clearly took from multiple queens from history #rhaenyra targaryen #asoiaf #hotd

jenna coleman selecting roles: i will play the female version of a morally ambiguous (traditionally) male character. her characterization will be just as complicated, and at times even as unlikable, as her male counterpart. she won't be punished for deviating from acceptable female character roles. she will be bisexual.

#clara oswald #johanna constantine #jenna coleman #it's just that she's chosen this path twice now and i love that for her #let jenna coleman play more morally gray bi girls also make a constantine spin off

Companion teamwork, anyone.

Minthara growing herbs in her little travel garden for Gale and his cooking,

Minthara, helping Shadowheart in her own grief of being abandoned and neglected by Shar.

Wyll practicing his little dance and Minthara sighing and calling him a loser (in an IC way) however she’s the one with her lyre who had played so he could practice.

Minthara helping Karlach with … well.. everything. She’s canonically smitten have you see her talk about Karlach it’s not even my bias.

Minthara listening to Lae’zel about her Queen but also trying to advise her to think independently from it all.

Minthara sensing Astarion has had nightmare about Cazador and then holds up a bottle of his favorite wine and will sit next to him until he’s not longer having a secret panic attack.

Minthara seeing Jaheira pained over her losing her husband and extending sentiment because she too has lost her love years ago to Lolth’s folly. (Will not say anything about it right away, room for Jaheira to assume she doesn’t have any experience here.)

Minthara letting Boo eat greens out of her hand and sharing funny jokes with Minsc. They talk senseless circles around her but Minsc makes her laugh and he finds her funny.

Minthara telling the owlbear he can’t be carried everywhere but she’s the reason he’s used to being carried like a giant baby.

Minthara also close with Scratch in her own way because dogs sense panic attacks.

Minthara conversing between the animals in the camp like they’re people.

These shots are so vital and important to Ricky’s story. Last year on opening night of HSM he saw his parents hugging and thought they were getting back together, that nothing was actually changing. He was so desperate for that, so naïve, grasping for any sign of hope. So when that was the furthest thing from the truth it ended up breaking him. Sending him down a path of self destructive tendencies that hurt not only him but the people around him. But now he sees them hugging knows they are not back together and is so at peace with it because of his growth and because he can accept change now and it can't break him not like it used to, and all of that is due to the way loving Gina changed him. Showed him how you can fall in real deep love with someone and it can change your whole view of the world and of love and of relationships.

#ricky bowen #hsmtmts #rina #this full circle moment is my favorite thing from the finale like honestly the way he has grown and accepted that people change #that not all couples are meant to last and that’s ok and that there IS something better on the other side of that #he kept himself in the dark in the shadows for so long because he couldn’t see a light at the end of the never ending tunnel of sadness #that came with his family falling apart but then Gina showed up and brought LIGHT into his life he was able to see and feel JOY again #because of her loving her allowed him to see a new path a new future a new way of life a way of life where everyone is better off than they #were before he can see that his parents co existing is better than them in a loveless marriage that they are able to be better to #each other when they are apart and he could see that before but now he can and it’s again BECAUSE of Gina #she changed everything for him that’s why they are soulmates baby!

#‘I’ve never played it bc i refuse to but here’s what i think it means’. ok. #it’s not about Letting the Templars Win it’s about her facing what she’s always seen as inevitable. what if your worst fear came true #but she’s been preparing for it all her life so she at least has. some level of mental preparation #and also. she finally gets to meet other people like her. feeling totally seen and acknowledged. and the trade-off that entails #listen!!!! i think both routes are very very good but #it’s just so weird to me when ppl take a moral stance against the circle path lmao. you know this is the game about tragedy right. #if you’re trying to make everyone happy and safe. what are you doing here #mine #bethany

#her recall was STUNNING this day #not so good on lead once we went down a very windy path #but we took a few moments to work through it and she wasn’t so worked up #I’m honestly overjoyed that we can have small moments off lead now and you can tell by her face that she is too #practicing more and more for our spring time beach trip!! she gotta be in top form if she wants to frolic freely in the waves

#rune factory 5 #rune factory #rf5 #alright finally got the orchard into the comic! im going to have it be relevant and explained eventually but ill describe it here to start #so on vivi's (wind dragon) ares planted an apple orchard to which he placed a curse upon #if one enters the orchard and falls off the correct path they get trapped in a pocket dimension(which ares learned how to create from lucas) #the only person who knows the correct path is Rei who in turn trained the wolves to traverse it as well #and ofc the wolves only obey Rei/Ree otherwise their one other response is to take ppl (Bea and by extension of scent Al) to the berrypatch #Ares made the field this way after the Bea attack while she was picking berries. Its a safe space for her to be alone and pick fruit #and still be ptotected from outside attackers (by both the enchantment on the orchard and the scary wolves that protect the place) #yeah so anyways. the enchanted orchard ! deffo not a public farm thats for sure haha!
