just saying this because i've seen some debate about which teams are and aren't hypocritical or united in their mission or whatever and. of COURSE every team is hypocritical !!! they're made up of many people of different philosophies !! they're teams of circumstance not choice! yes one team member is going to act utterly different to the next !! the individuals are all separate people!

now in the narrative yes, other characters are viewing each other as representatives of their team - that makes sense, it's part of the story and their limited perspectives and their own separate struggles within this literal purgatory lol

but don't you guys forget it! we have the advantage of being able to see the meta pov, and what's clear is that these teams are just people who are pack bonded by being pitted against each other. there isn't any team who is entirely cohesive on what they want. there isn't any team who hasn't been hypocritical or unfair in some way. that's just out of the nature of how the teams were made !

(and really, none of these teams are exempt from having been a bit of a dick from time to time, and pretending otherwise is a little bit silly, right?)

#this post does not have much of a point LOL i was just thinking about it and i find it funny that people expect these teams to all have like #aligned philosophies ig?#they were randomly put in groups together! they didn't get to pick people they knew they'd agree with! well originally at least #anyway i just think some of the takes im seeing in the tags are a bit funny to me like the characters have an excuse for thinking of each #other as villains and such but we as fans who can see more of whats up do not have that excuse XD #qsmp #discourse #<- possibly! i'll be safe here #qsmp purgatory #qsmp discourse #<- covering my bases

gwen stacy/ghostflower-coded paramore songs (in my opinion)

stop this song (lovesick melody): this is THE ghostflower-coded song, i’ve mentioned it before. if i didn’t know it predates them both as comic characters i’d swear to god it was on purpose

It creeps in like a spider Can't be killed Although I try and try to Well, don't you see I'm falling? Don't want to love you But I do

that’s what you get: i feel like this is an EXCELLENT song for gwen post-atsv, reflecting on her mistakes

How am I supposed to feel when you're not here? 'Cause I burned Every bridge I ever built when you were here

misguided ghosts: okay so like this is THE gwen song to me, it is a theme song for her in my mind. do you see the vision? tell me you see the vision

Now I'm told that this is life And pain is just a simple compromise So we can get what we want out of it Would someone care to classify Our broken hearts and twisted minds? So I can find someone to rely on

when it rains: in my mind this is gwen @ her world’s peter parker. i don’t have a ton of elaboration for it, it just clicks in my brain

And oh, oh, how could you do it? Oh, I, I never saw it coming Oh, oh, I need an ending So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?

miracle: i can see this as gwen’s thoughts post-atsv, resolving to finally do what she realizes she should’ve done in the first place and be there for miles

I've gone for too long Living like I'm not alive So I'm gonna start over tonight Beginning with you and I When this memory fades I'm gonna make sure it's replaced With chances taken, hope embraced And have I told you? I'm not going 'Cause I've been waiting for a miracle And I'm not leaving I won't let you Let you give up on a miracle When it might save you

god the cinematic of him knocking pearl into the ravine (he went red in a ravine in 3l) and not noticing and losing himself in his bloodlust and "shes dead scar. you won" from grian's ghost and the hysterical laughter as he lets himself get eaten by a zombie and the "how did the guy with no friends win" and the final trek to the secret keeper and the way he was still alone in the end. the lone survivor.....

hello its me the paranormal instigator writer in your spice cupboards you wrote about evil wizards and now i must know everything about your magic systems

THERE IS A GOOSE. LOOSE. IN MY SPICE CABINET

hello friend its very good to see you in my inbox!! :D

Oh gods okay so full disclosure: the magic system in corruption verse is very much taken from my personal interpretations and practices of modern witchcraft

Let me explain. As a practicing pagan and witch for ten years, the way ive always seen magic is about both bending probability and also Rules. I've had a lot of baby witches come to me over the years, asking for advice on spell recipes, what herb or ingredient they should use, what corresponds to what, etc etc. And the first thing i always tell them is "the rules are made up dude, you can form your own associations. If you believe in it hard enough, it'll work."

This line-- "But half the magic lies in intent– with enough bull-headed, scrabbling belief, you can claw anything into a shape of your choosing." -- comes directly from that line of thinking.

Corruption verse is, however, a fictional world, so there is a little more structure put into it. The academy mentioned in a little victimless crime is the Academy of Natural Magick, which definitely implies... Some Things. And its meant to, right there in the name!! The Academy is a big stickler for natural magicks, aka magic that comes only from you and your own natural pool of power-- the size of which varies from person to person. There's a lot of emphasis on catering towards students (its like a college of sorts, though not strictly for typical college age like we would think of) with naturally large pools of magic in their bodies, students who can do more right on the outset just from that advantage.

(Scar, for the record, is not one of these students.)

For the Academy, what i picture is that they have some very rigid standards, especially for focus tools such as specific herbs and crystals, geometries, etc etc. Basically anything you could use as a "focus" to help direct your magic pool. The spell Scar mentions in the fic is a "stripped down summoning spell," which i think would, if presented by an Academy professor, look something like several layers of warding, lots of bindings, big fancy runes that correspond to words considered to hold a lot of power, and lots of different dried herbs ground into the chalk powder. While effective (and technically good practice for when you're summoning something that might not like you very much), it's not nearly as flexible as what Scar is doing in the fic. That doesn't make it wrong, per se, but it is very limiting. And Scar isn't here for limits-- something that i hope to really show and explore in his first meeting with Grian if i get the time to write it out :]
