#I killed canon with fire

[lurafita]

Super canon divergence. Like I am diverging so hard here! Look at all that divergence!

I have been thinking about Johnathan Morgenstern lately, and as horrible as he was, I can't help feeling sorry for him, for the way his life played out, hardly giving him a chance to be anything but a monster.

And I love Magnus (and Magnus with kids), and I thought,

What if Magnus was in Edom the day that Valentine sent Johnathan to Lilith.

(Reason for Magnus being in Edom could be because he needed to re-bind his father to the realm, because Asmodeus almost got out?).

And Magnus, on his way back, saw Lilith hurting the boy and saved Johnathan. Portaling the both of them back to his apartment in Brooklyn.

How would the story go if Magnus had raised Johnathan, giving the boy a real chance at life?

Magnus getting the story of Johnathan's origins out of the boy (as far as Johnathan knew at that point).

Fearing the Clave would condemn Johnathan for his demon blood and relation to Valentine, maybe Magnus would use his connection to Brother Zachariah (who was a Shadowhunter once), to get Johnathan both the tools and training of a Shadowhunter, as well as teaching him magic and control over his demonic heritage.

There could even be some kind of meeting with Sebastian Verlac, and maybe the two (Johnathan and Sebastian) become friends and later even more?

Maybe Magnus would convince Jocelyn to let her daughter and his son form a friendship (maybe Magnus suspects about the two being siblings?), in exchange for removing any supernatural memories from Clary, giving Johnathan a relationship with his sister (that isn't tainted by his obsession with her).

And when it comes time to meet the rest, a grown up Johnathan could be protective over Magnus and that stupid Shadowhunter (Alec) that flirts with Magnus.

#magnus bane #alec lightwood #malec #shadowhunters tv #johnathan morgenstern #magnus as johnathan's dad #I killed canon with fire #and I'm very happy with that #there could be johnathan/sebastian romance as well #and he and magnus can help seb with his drug problem #and seb can further help johnathan with the shadowhunter stuff #and it could be really funny having johnathan be protective of his “dad” when Alec flirts with magnus #look we all know I like cracky things okay

The Fire Warrior novelization is wild

For anyone who doesn’t know, Fire Warrior was a game from 2003 where you play as a Tau Fire Warrior trying to rescue a kidnapped ethereal before it’s revealed that the planetary governor that kidnapped the ethereal was secretly a chaos cultist and you have to deal with that too.

What’s more unusual though is that the game actually had a novel tie in and it’s wild. It’s not perfect obviously, there’s a lot of parts where it skips from the main character, Shas’la Kais, starting to do something to after it’s been done with maybe a fight scene with the boss. But to be fair it is a novelization of the game and constant variations “He then turned the hallway and shot some guys” would get old fast.

What’s even more wild is that the book treats everything you do in game as something Kais actually does. As a result Kais becomes this freakishly hyper competent killing machine fueled almost purely by daddy issues. Like he is a genuine blood drenched cryptid and there’s practically no characters that aren’t at least slightly terrified of him. And that is not an exaggeration.

Like from everyone else’s perspective Kais is just a fresh recruit on his first ever battlefield and out of nowhere he’s gunning down hundreds of guardsmen. He takes out a tank with a hijacked imperial turret, kills an attack helicopter single handedly, saves the ethereal completely by himself from a heavily fortified prison, two shots a space marine, fights off two attempted boardings of his ship (which includes killing four more space marines completely by himself), counterboards the Imperial ship where he kills even more space marines and even more hundreds of guardsmen crippled the ship with a bomb and nearly kills the entire command crew all by himself, fights off a demonic invasion in the ship while completely lost to his blood rage, cripples the imperial ship even more, killing who knows how many CSM and demons the entire time, solos a chaos dreadnought, goes back to the planet to kill even more chaos marines and demons, fights his way through a titan to blow it up, solos a warp spawn, and a demon prince, falls to Khorne for a bit and eventually even kills a greater demon.

Within the book the entire time he’s doing all this he never has a mech or supplies, he’s constantly forced to fight God with guns and ammo he’s scavenged from the countless corpses he’s left in his wake. He rocks up to the Tau ship in orbit before he sneaks into the prison literally drenched in human blood and there’s nothing they can do about it because he’s basically the single best person at killing in their entire army at this point

These are all the things he does in the book because he does them in the game and it’s a just amazing to see the rest of the world react to this video game character played straight. Usually in other game novelizations, the sheer number of enemies your guy kills is usually brought way down and is just chalked up to the enemy numbers being inflated in the game for the sake of gameplay. But Fire Warrior decided to say fuck that, our blorbo really is just this much of a hyper competent war criminal and you should fear for your IRL life.

And honestly?

I don’t think I could respect them more for that decision.

#tau empire #fire warrior #shas’la kai my psychotic beloved #warhammer 40k #warhammer 40000 #I honestly kind of wish they made him canon so that he Tau could just have this random doomslayer who gets pointed in a direction to kill

Do you ever think about how Arya being left-handed most likely had an impact on her needlework and other tasks? And how she needed special attention not only because she wasn't as naturally gifted as her sister but because the way she was being taught fundamentally didn't work for her? And how instead of being given the attention she needed she was instead held to an unfair standard by her teacher and used as a measure for bad behavior? And how this all impacted her self-esteem and her views on being a Lady?

#arya stark #septa mordane #catelyn stark #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #I think about this all the normal amount I'm definitely not obsessed with Arya and her internal conflict on being a lady #I'm not saying her being left-handed is the sole reason she was bad at those tasks but I do think it had an impact #that's why it gets pointed out by Syrio and how it will impact her swordplay...it has an impact on the way she does things #Arya not being able to fit in kills me because she genuinely tried to be the Lady that her family wanted #she was literally trying her best to do tasks that didn't come naturally and she was constantly told she wasn't good enough #if her family hadn't forced the issue and been so hard on her it would've been so much easier for her to do what was expected of her #it's just so fascinating and one of my favorite internal conflicts...I can't wait to see the resolution #so many people try and make Arya the problem but she was literally 9 years old #and her behavior in canon isn't the disruptive wild child people portray her to be she was doing her best that just wasn't enough for some #she was frustrated because her work wasn't as good as her sisters and her teacher mother and sister made sure she knew it #of course that's going to impact her views self-esteem and behavior #like no she was not a burden that her /poor/ mother and teacher suffered through lol

Addam Velaryon and Daeron Targaryen as John Everett Millais' "A Huguenot, on St. Bartholomew's Day" by maiahee_

The artwork is meant to depict a pair of young lovers on opposing sides of a conflict. One of them attempts to have the other displayed as loyal to their side so that he may be spared from the ensuing massacre, but the lover has already chosen his own allegiance.

Artwork is based off my theory that Addam's secret conversation with Corlys was him asking for Daeron to be spared as he had not taken part in the war at the time, after which Corlys asked the same of Rhaenyra. Daeron later joins the war effort on the side of the Greens. Meanwhile, Addam was declared a traitor to the Blacks.

And Addam Velaryon, lately Addam of Hull, sought out the Sea Snake after the battle; what they spoke to each other even Mushroom does not say. [...] She would send envoys to Storm’s End and Casterly Rock, offering fair terms and pardons…after she had put an end to the usurper’s brothers, who were in the field against her. “Once they are dead, the rest will bend the knee. Slay their dragons, that I might mount their heads upon the walls of my throne room. Let men look upon them in the years to come, that they might know the cost of treason.” [...] Prince Daemon himself would take Caraxes to the Trident, together with the girl Nettles and Sheepstealer, to find Prince Aemond and Vhagar and put an end to them. Ulf White and Hard Hugh Hammer would fly to Tumbleton, some fifty leagues southwest of King’s Landing, the last leal stronghold between Lord Hightower and the city, to assist in the defense of the town and castle and destroy Prince Daeron and Tessarion. Lord Corlys suggested that mayhaps the prince might be taken alive and held as hostage. But Queen Rhaenyra was adamant.

Probably not the smartest move right before Angeltober, but I got Baldur's Gate 3. It's very fun so far!

Here is my Tav, she is a drow cleric named Charity. She was found and adopted by a cleric of Kelemvor and raised in a convent. Charity never knew her biological parents. Her name comes from being called that cleric's "charity case" and then the name Charity stuck.

#as part of Charity's backstory I imagined a formative moment for her was when one of her fellow orphans in the convent started a fire #and Charity stopped her but she was subsequently killed #And now that girl haunts Charity as her dream guardian (not sure what role the dream guardian plays yet but this is what I had in mind) #I gave the dream guardian a scar and then what a surprise when Charity met Shadowheart and she had the same scar! #in my head Charity just had to save her after seeing that #if I make Charity again for a Durge playthrough either it's a version of her that went bonkers after the fire and killing her cough gal pal #Or it's Charity who was raised by her drow parents (who I imagine might still be alive somewhere in canon!) #OR it might be the friend who instead kills Charity... #anyway I've been rotating her all night #I want her to have the energy of a cute kittycat with big huge pupils because she is in murder mode <3 #bg3 #baldur's gate 3

Theon and Asha had to be separated as children for the realms sake. their bond would have been detrimental to the realm otherwise.

the bi on bi hostility would have killed everyone within a five mile radius. the big sister/little brother rivalry would have taken lives of anyone who came between them. they would kill for each other one second and attempt to murder each other the next.

they'd be the biggest shit talkers on the iron isles. the side eye would be insane. they'd gossip about someone to their face with no shame. they'd spread rumours like wildfire.

no one would be able to stop them.

#they would be horrendous together #imagine them being actual siblings that were allowed to grow around each other and become besties/enemies (its both) #Asha would beat the shit out of him on the regular but kill anyone who looked at him wrong #Theon would call her every name in the book but threaten anyone who tried to do the same #they'd be each other's wingman/cockblock and hypeman/hater all at once #this falls under more of a modern au than canon and is very optimistic of their positions in life but shhhh let me pretend they'd be bestie #I need it in my life #asha greyjoy #yara greyjoy #theon greyjoy #got #asoiaf #game of thrones #a song of ice and fire

I don’t typically like when star trek characters reference legacy characters just to talk about how great and perfect they are but I do like this route where even though Tuvok calls him a great visionary in the end he brings Spock up to say he argued with him. I think this is the way of the future. Lean in. Star Trek characters should say things like ‘An old man cut me off in space traffic the other day. I think it was McCoy?’ and another should nod and shake their head like he’s always doing that shit

#'I met Jonathan Archer and he smelled like wet dog?? Seemed nice though.' <- more stories like this #Also since Janeway idolizes ppl like Sulu I want her to occasionally bug Tuvok for more stories about working with him after she finds out #that they were alive at the same time on the same ship and have Tuvok begrudgingly tell her I don't know...we didn't talk much and I was #busy at the time...one time Kirk sneezed on the bridge. It was quite loud. #<- what he doesn't say is that Tuvok had a handkerchief but did NOT give it to Kirk bc he was concerned about being called a suckup again #Tuvok what do you MEAN you 'spoke out against [it]'??? You aren't a politician??? HEHEHE did you write an open letter??? #Tuvok old man moments...Tuvok's children cringing: dad please DON'T bring up your initial opposition to the Klingon-Federation alliance #Tuvok's low estimation of Klingons...B'Elanna..you sit back. I'LL get him!!!!! #I mean everyone in star trek ever like every non klingon character has a low estimation of Klingons for Some Reason* #*You Know. #but I'm a Tuvok girlie so it's my job to rake him across the coals for it from time to time v_v #-sniffs and salutes- gotta kill that old man for my babygirl -fires a cartoon canon at him and he flies into the sky and becomes a star- #love you Tuvok <3 #Tom I smashed with a mallet #cartoonishly large for whimsy but just overall more gruesome

I have some thoughts (headcanons) about SilkWing names

Most of the following writing is from a Google Doc I'm working on that contains a list of possible names for dragons from every WoF tribe. As I was adding to the SilkWing list, I started to come up with ways to distinguish SilkWing names from RainWing, SandWing and LeafWing names, and here's what I came up with.

After the Tree Wars, when the HiveWing and SilkWing societies merged, SilkWings were given names relating almost entirely to their appearance. They were named after colours, moths, worms/grubs (relating to the "worm" insult; these would occur most in, say, orphaned Silks who were named by HiveWings), and flowers. This is (in my headcanons/AU) because HiveWings usually value SilkWings more for their beauty rather than their skills or personalities. A lot of SilkWings picked up on that, choosing to name their dragonets accordingly.

After the SilkWings regained independence (i.e. after the end of TFoH) I imagine that the SilkWings would choose to name their dragonets in ways that reflect their personalities rather than their appearance. Names describing demeanours, attributes and virtues are becoming popular. I think spider names might have integrated into the names a bit, too; spiders are dangerous, and they also spin silk, so choosing spider names would make sense and could be a way for them to reject the 'pretty, docile SilkWing' image that HiveWings perpetuated for so long.

TL;DR: SilkWings are usually named after butterflies, colours, and other appearance-based stuff, because HiveWings only value SilkWings because they're pretty. Now that the Hives and Silks are separated, the SilkWings are giving themselves and their kids more meaningful names. And naming their kids after spiders because SilkWings are allowed to be mean! And this is all headcanons. None of this is fully supported by the canon, although it is based on it

#wof #wings of fire #wingsoffire #not art #talking #relates to my wof au #i didnt mean for this to be long #i need to get better at making my points quickly #btw none of this is canon its just my thoughts #in canon silks are named after moths because silks are based on moths #its not that deep but i need to practice trying to come up with ways to build on the canon rather than kill it so like #we live we thrive #i really need to reread wof

Iroh from ATLA

#death note #atla #light yagami #uncle iroh #give light some tea maybe then he’ll calm down.. #im not actually sure. i think yk kira is capable of strategic thinking so he’d let iroh live until the rest of the fire nation #invasion threat is neutralized but afterwards he might kill him bc iroh did also commit war crimes #based on what light says in canon about mikami being too extreme #he did let ppl live if they already served their time for a crime so maybe he’d count iroh as being redeemed? #but he didnt get consequences for his actions so maybe light would still kill him

has anyone considered henry possessing glamrock freddy or am i being a little silly right now

#although for one of you the darkest pit of hell has opened to swallow you whole #so don't keep the devil waiting old friend #henry being glamrock freddy makes sense to me #“my friends are down here” william? william afton? old friend? #and if we consider the henry suicide robot thing canon #maybe just maybe #henry “survived” pizzaria simulator #reinstated fazbears as a corporate entity #hired the indie developer #idk where he would stand on the glitchtrap thing but he was shown to be a little silly in he books? maybe he thought afton was fully gone #and was trying to destroy the last parts of him that remained #he realized vanessa was being recruited by afton and set up the pizzaplex #he built the glamrocks? by contextual evidence it makes sense for michael to have built the glamrocks #given the glamrocks similarities to the funtimes including freddys stomach hatch (remember funtime freddy's stomach hatch?) #so if we're saying that michael built the glamrocks then michael wouldve had to have survived pizzaria simulator #which means somewhere along the line they fucked up #and considering that theres roughly 40 years between the bite of 83 and pizzaria simulator #that would mean that henry is like 70 when he burns down freddy fazbears pizza place? #i doubt any rickety ass 70 year old is going #like btw that was a badass line #but henry would be too old for that shit💀 #so if we just take henrys suicide animatronic (named baby but probably meaning a baby version of charlie(the og book trilogy)) #so what if he got remnant in him when he killed himself and therefore was stuck alive #so he and michael could have plausibly survived pizzasim because of the remnant they were trying to burn away #bc if remnant survived the fnaf3 fire why wouldnt it survive the pizzasim fire? #so saying that henry killed himself around 2000 leaves him at ~50 forever #he couldve also killed himself around 1996 after opening fnaf 2 closing fnaf 2 and reopening/reclosing fnaf 1 #leaving him ~45 forever #doesnt matter the year it just matters that hes already dead before pizzaria simulator and after fnaf1 and fnaf2 events #not to mention with william dead around 1993 henry wouldve been the one managing circus baby's entertainment and rentals
