#and i'm not saying it's literally canon but right after he goes 'oh should i be nice to him? (takes another dig at lan wangji)'

[canyoufucksoniccharacters]

I am DEEPLY sorry about making you dive down this rat’s nest of a lore hole, but I’m back with another question that should be cleared up: Can You Fuck Shadow the Hedgehog?

I have a feeling this is gonna get complicated real fast…

I've had this one in mind for a while, so this shouldn't be all that hard to write.

CAN YOU FUCK: SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG?

...

YOU FELL FOR IT! YOU ALL FELL FOR IT!

To any reasonable person, Shadow should have been included in the Sonic post, alongside Surge, Mighty, etc. But you want to know why I didn't? Because if I did, it wouldn't give me the proper opportunity to rant about something.

SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG IS NOT 50 YEARS OLD. HE NEVER WAS, HE NEVER HAS BEEN, AND HE WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE.

This is a misconception that has permeated through the fanbase for Chaos knows how long, being repeated over and over and over again, ad nauseam.

Why do people even say this? Well, Project Shadow started 50 years before the event of Sonic Adventure 2. Which means Shadow's creation happened 50 years ago.

So, people take this as "Oh, Shadow was created 50 years ago, this must mean he's 50 years old!"

DO YOU PEOPLE NOT KNOW WHAT THE WORD "STASIS" MEANS.

During Sonic Adventure 2, Eggman breaks into a military base to unleash a "top secret military weapon" for his plans. This weapon, is, of course, shadow. The screenshot above is from the scene where Shadow is released.

What does this look like those particles are? What do they look like to you? Usually, thick white air particles like these are a result of the use of cold to pause biological processes. On top of that, the shot right before it displays the object atop the machinery pretty well, although with some distance.

This is a pod. Like, this is very obviously a pod. Shadow is even standing on top of it once he's revealed.

And what does he say when he's revealed?

Note how he says "Awakening". This is taken from a re-translation of the Japanese script, since the official translation makes him refer to being released as opposed to being awakened. Remember, translations for these games in this era were... Less than stellar.

(seriously, don't go there yet? to the guy telling you he shouldn't have ever been born? like maybe you're right maybe you shouldn't have been born but we don't know enough to say that for sure. ok, buddy)

So, yeah, Shadow isn't 50. I've been saving this for a standalone post, because it is baffling to me how people still keep spouting that "Fact" over and over, even though it makes no sense. He was frozen. He didn't develop mentally or physically. I'm not a Marvel fan by any means, but this is like if you added 66 years to Captain America's age because that's how long he was frozen. For these characters, if you just knocked them unconscious and then sent them to the future, it literally would not make even a bit of a difference.

He's not 50. Moving on.

Oh yeah, uh. That whole immortality thing.

(Source: Japanese dub, translated.)

Here and there, official material will mention Shadow as being "Immortal" or "Ageless". While never stated in the 2005 game, it makes complete sense, as Shadow was made with Black Doom's own genetic material. Black Doom is immortal, Black Doom's genes are in Shadow, thus, Shadow cannot die of old age.

There is, however, no implication that he does not mentally mature. In fact, it would make sense for him to start out quite young to then become more mature as time goes on, since part of the reason he was made was to accompany Maria, in a sibling-like relationship. Although it's unlikely that the Sonic Channel artwork is canon, most of it at least, it does convey a situation akin to this, which would be horribly out of character otherwise.

Look at em! They're doing their homework together! And then a few years later, after Maria's death...

Look at him! Using a minigun for the first time!

His maturity in SA2 also seems just about on par with Sonic's, so it's safe to assume that when that game happened, they were about even in terms of mental development. In general, Shadow is a Sonic counterpart. A very, very close counterpart.

... Very... Very... Ah screw it, let's just bite the bullet.

This happened! An entire Bumblekast episode dedicated to Sonic, Shadow, and mostly Sonadow. It's pretty recent, too! From 8 months ago! In fact, it was made for Pride Month 2023; after Frontiers released. So, Ian Flynn by then became not just a comic writer, but a writer for the games.

I'm not saying Sonadow is canon, obviously, but if the current writer of the games is willing to entertain it for an entire episode and even go as far as saying it's actually really easy to make happen and you don't need to do too much work for it to happen, then it's probably safe to assume the characters are on even ground in terms of maturity.

So, if Shadow can hypothetically, in a fully canon-compatible way, make out with Sonic, and Sonic is fuckable, then Shadow is, by extension, fuckable.

Honestly this is entirely longer than necessary. I could have brought this one up earlier and saved myself the work. Where's the fun in that, though?

Either way, verdict is;

You can, in fact, fuck Shadow The Hedgehog.

#status: fuckable #sonic the hedgehog #sth #shadow the hedgehog

Oh no, I’m participating in Star Wars discourse.

Uh, so there’s a post floating around that I’m not reblogging mainly because it’s just this person’s headcanon and, whatever, people can have headcanons, but the main points they make in the midst of talking about their headcanon that I’ll be addressing are:

Leia and Han getting married and having kids is the most boring thing you can do with Leia

Leia should be a Jedi like every other dang Skywalker because somehow continuing an assumed dynasty isn’t the most boring choice you can make for her

Leia is more cut out to handle lack of attachment than Luke which we know because of her lack of response to Alderaan being destroyed

Leia and Han shouldn’t get married or even be around each other much because Han is a wandering soul and needs to travel and go places

Leia never expresses a desire for marriage or children in the OT, so removing these things won’t contradict George Lucas’ canon

And, look, these are just…missing the point of the character growth that occurs in these two during the OT.

(there's just a whole-ass essay below the cut if anyone cares to read about the many thoughts I have on Leia Organa and Han Solo.)

So, I'm not saying existing or past canon/EU has done it right, but I disagree with the statement that having them marry and live kind of basic lives is the most boring choice. If that's all there was to it, sure, but those two choices by themselves show a monumental amount of character growth for both Leia and Han. (I mean, frankly, I think "Skywalker = Jedi every time no matter what" is a pretty boring choice storytelling wise, but I also think the Jedi on the whole are incredibly boring characters, so, uh...I'm biased.)

Leia was never going to live a quiet life even if Alderaan hadn't been destroyed. Like, she did not have that option, period. She would have either remained in politics or taken over as queen, may or may not have had to marry for political reasons, and may or may not have been involved with the Rebellion. Her life was chaos starting as a teen and she had no reason to believe she wouldn't die living a hectic and chaotic life.

And then she loses everything. This isn't emphasized in the movies obviously because they are fun family romps and not gritty dramas, but, good night, in a single second, she loses every family member, nearly every person she knows, every place she finds most familiar and comfortable, everything and to top it all off, the guilt that it's happened because of her unwillingness to give up the Alliance will probably always be there. She was tortured, they lost lives in battle, and, yeah, they destroy the Death Star, but at the end of that day, literally all she has left is the Alliance and those three pilots who managed to unlock her cell door without too much trouble.

I don't know about you, but I'd be straight-up shut down emotionally at that point. Like, I don't think PTSD even covers what Leia probably has going on in her head. And I think that's kind of what we see in ESB (I know the filmmakers weren’t thinking in terms of PTSD, but there are still hints of it there regardless). She's angry, she's afraid of losing people (she's obviously pissed Han is leaving after he said he'd stay, but also, there's a scene that was cut -- a good move in my opinion because the dialogue is beyond dramatic and Carrie seems out of it, but it stands that this was the intended source of Leia’s frustration -- where Luke is telling Leia he's leaving the Alliance for Dagobah and she is extremely upset that both he and Han are leaving, goes on a whole rant about how she should know better than to trust anyone but herself, etc.), and when she finally lets Han in, she promptly loses him and nearly loses Luke.

And then the events of ROTJ happen and she finds out that the man who tortured her, who stood idly by while her entire planet was destroyed, who tortured the man she loves and handed him off to the space mob to be murdered, who cut off her brother's hand and nearly allowed him to die, who has terrorized the Galaxy in general, that guy is her bio dad. And that guy is the entire reason she's Force-sensitive.

Leia stopping her Jedi training in the new canon was for a dumb reason, I agree there. Leia not wanting anything to do with the thing that, from her point of view, nearly ruined her life and the lives of those she loves about a thousand times over...I dunno, I think that's way more interesting than her just going, "Ope, I'm a Skywalker! You know what that means! Gotta be a Jedi!" And as far as her being more of a natural at it...do we know that Leia is better at healthy non-attachment than Luke? Like, any response to a planet being destroyed could easily just be a trauma response. Is shutting down like that good, actually? Or is it just going to cause problems down the road, Anakin-style?

I don't know, I just think that after living through all of that as well as a freaking war, girly might want a quiet life -- that she gets to choose -- with a husband -- who she gets to choose -- and kids -- who she gets to raise without the threat of the Empire or her nightmare of a biological father looming over their lives. And the very fact that she's able to open herself up to that sort of love and affection when the fear that it might all be ripped away from her is likely ever-present is a big deal. Her having kids knowing they'll likely be Force-sensitive even though that aspect of her biology terrifies her is a big deal. And as far as her not expressing a desire for marriage and kids in the OT...I mean, Leia isn't given the opportunity to express her desire for much in the OT, let's be real (she also never expresses a desire to become a Jedi in the OT either. We can't use what Leia didn't express in the OT to dictate whether she wants or doesn't want something is what I'm saying). They're at war. She's a military leader. She probably can't even hazard wishing for anything beyond waking up the next day. But that's not to say she didn't want such things or grow to want such things once she felt it was safe to do so. We literally don't know, but I don't think the absence of that expressed desire is indicative of anything.

As far as Han goes, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure in every iteration of his story, his itchy feet weren't like...a part of his personality. He had a highly traumatic childhood that left him with few options and ended up living a transient lifestyle out of necessity. He actually seems remarkably easy to keep around if you don't treat him like garbage. I mean, he's given exactly one day of friendship, and he sticks around with the Rebellion for three years before some run-in with a bounty hunter makes him realize he needs to take care of his debt with Jabba. He's not leaving just for funsies or because he's bored or just really needs to be a smuggler again...and he seems legitimately sad have to leave when he's not busy getting pissed at Leia for not having the emotional response he wants her to have (first half of ESB Han is being a big ol' baby and I'm perfectly fine admitting that). And what character growth to see Han "I'm in it for the money" Solo learn to care for his friends, learn to support a cause, learn to love Leia when he's spent so much of his life unattached. Han making boring life choices is indicative of character growth and learning to care about others more than himself. What a lovely thing for this man to learn.

The call for Leia and Han to remain living separate lives but still committed to one another kind of demands that they move backward in character growth in my opinion. We have two people who are in rough places due, by and large, to trauma, who eventually open up to one another and seem better for it and then they...just go back to what they were doing before except they occasionally see each other? Why would they want that? They've grown as people, they've won a dang war, and they're finally able to live somewhat securely. Why wouldn't they want to live basic lives when they were denied the privilege of such choices for so long? And how is them making choices based on their love for another person — love that they had a heck of a time coming to terms with — boring?

"there's no evidence that tommy and carol bullied anyone" so publicly humiliating nancy by spray painting nancy the slut wheeler on the hawk sign was just what. because steve implied that was their idea and they did it. you don't just go from never bullying anyone to doing some real diabolical shit like that so. sure steve never bullied anyone but you're reaching trying to extend that to tommy especially. don't forget how easily he got chummy with the racist the following season and joined in gleefully bullying steve

I'm not excusing the graffiti, but I don't think spray painting the slut graffiti as revenge because they (wrongly) thought Nancy cheated on Steve makes it bullying lmao. Bullying is repeated and targeted. One instance is not bullying. I also think "diabolical" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Like what they did was cruel, but diabolical? Graffiti and spreading rumors is like the most typical "get revenge on your/your friend's shitty ex" thing you could do, they just did it in public instead of like the school bathroom. Public shaming for cheating is SUCH a common trope, like do you know how often I see that "WELCOME HOME CHEATER" meme? I'm not saying that makes it right, because it doesn't! But it also doesn't make them evil?

Like I never said that Tommy and Carol are nice lol. They're asshole teenagers! That's canon! Steve calls them out on that and breaks ties with them because of it! But being a dick teenager does not make you a bully, all teenagers are dicks lol.

I also think interpreting Tommy's scenes with Billy as that is in bad faith personally. Homeboy is in like two scenes with Billy - one where Tommy is clearly trying to make Steve jealous, and the other where he is making fun of Steve for his gf once again supposedly cheating on him. The gf that Steve dumped his friends for, after she supposedly cheated on him the first time.

And yeah Billy is racist but y'all are acting like? Everyone in the show should automatically know that? How? The racist shit Billy says on screen is mainly to Max, and later in the show where he actually attacks Lucas. There's a good chance that Steve didn't even realize that Billy's attack on the kids was racially motivated until after the fact.

Considering that Billy literally doesn't interact with anyone but his coworkers and Karen in s3, and the fact that Tommy does not actually seem to like violence that much or at least seems to have a limit! Considering how he reacted to the fight in s1 (going from "hell yeah a fight to oh fuck shit is serious"), I don't think Tommy stayed friends with Billy after season 2 lmao. Like idk I did not get the impression that Billy had any friends in s3.

You're accusing me of reaching but saying stuff like "no one goes from never bullying anyone to something that diabolical" isn't? My whole point has always been that he may be a dick, but there's nothing to show him being anything other than a stereotypical class clown type douchebag lol. The Party's fucking bullies threatened them at knife point. Billy bashes a plate over Steve's head and tries to run the kids off the fucking road with his car. The Angela storyline was so extreme that it was unrealistic and is almost an universally hated part of the season. Tommy makes some mean comments, gives Barb a wet willy, and then rubs it in his ex best friend's face that someone has taken his place and that his gf is cheating on him. Like, the graffiti was bad and Nancy should've probably slapped all three of them not just Steve, but it was a petty and misguided revenge scheme, not bullying.

I think if Tommy was intended to be an actual bully the way fandom pretends he is, we would've seen more of it on screen. If Tommy and Carol were so cruel to the whole school, Robin and Eddie would've said something about it? But they don't! The Duffers are SO blatant about how they go about things, I think if they were truly meant to be bullies, they would've been way more obvious about it lmao.

Like, think what you want! If you wanna headcanon them as being an actual bullies, that's your prerogative. But it's not actually canon.

#asks #anon #anonymous #fandom wank #like yeah we can all make assumptions and come to our own and differing conclusions based on canon #but you also have to be realistic about what actually is in canon lol

[weebsinstash]

Ok good you've finally seen it. What gets me in atsv (at least the version I watched) Miguel isn't even stated as having and loosing a family BEFORE he just up and leaves for that other dimension. Like dude decided he wanted a different life and a family and went and took up someone else's, instead of starting his own.

I was thinking about this last night and I eventually went back and watched the scene and it's like. Yeah bro you're right they do in fact never specify if he even had a family before

In the comics, he loses his pregnant fiance, and I, assumedly with a bunch of other people, was just kind of assuming that he had the same backstory in ATSV and it was sometime after her death that he tried a second time around. I'm assuming the canon he broke by going to another universe was HIS OWN canon: as a Spider, you are apparently supposed to lose your first love/first crush and move on, but by him jumping ship into another universe, that was breaking the rules (*cough cough* "but what if Miguel realizes being with Reader in his own universe doesn't break canon and he goes apeshit with it" *cough cough*)

But GOD wouldn't it be fucked up if it really was as literal as the way he phrased it. "I found another universe where I was happy" not "I found a universe where my family survived" is kind of sus phrasing. Like yeah bro you technically uh stole the life of a completely different person and helped raise his daughter and presumedly fucked his wife

But one thing a few people have mentioned that kind of took a while to sink in was like. Him losing that second family was RECENT. He didn't form the Spider Society until sometime after Miles became Spiderman, which he's only been wearing the mask for about a year and a half. Peter B was in the flashback where Miguel lost his second family, so like. It's literally been less than two years since Miguel accidentally broke canon. This man has some piping hot FRESH TRAUMA like he's probably still in a stage of grief???

Like I understand he's an antagonist but I'll be legit angry if he becomes like monstrously evil and it becomes "oh no we gotta defeat miguel" in the third movie because his trauma and his actions are completely understandable, like he could be an antagonist but he better not be like Final Boss. Like yeah yeah "he's technically killing people by not letting people break canon" but I mean as far as he's concerned, for all that he knows, what the evidence shows and what he's lead to believe, saving one person could potentially kill an entire universe and destabilize others so like. YEAH it sucks but no one should have to explain the math. Like the man literally had a small child he was helping raise literally vanish in his own arms as she cried "dad help" and people are like "UGH MIGUEL IS EVIL" like bro at the WORST he is obsessed with making up for his sins, dude isn't DELIBERATELY tryna cause shit. Like when you really get into analysis mode you can completely understand why he's so angry at Miles, Miguel was literally chanting "no puedo mas" ie "I can't anymore" at the concept of another hole being torn in the multiverse, like he's literally shouting and throwing shit around because for him it's "oh great here we fucking go, tons and tons of people will die if I don't get this under control, when does it end, how do i fix this"

His line on top of the train really kind of cements it, where he's all "and I'm the only one who's been keeping everything together" because he's not saying that from some source of narcissism, he's BURDENED by this, he's TRAPPED by this, but he feels a responsibility and a duty to make up for what he did. The man is essentially using his role leading the Spider Society as a punishment for breaking canon.

"Miguel is selfish" "Miguel is evil" bro Miguel is literally just one really really bad accident away from straight up killing himself, like tearing his own hair out as he beats his head into a wall. Miguel is like when you're so extremely stressed out that when you dropped your fresh toast on the floor jelly-down you legit contemplated suicide "because why can't even one thing go right for me". This man is hanging on by a thread but like I'm convinced the third movie will have a happy ending because it just. Doesn't feel right if it doesn't? The entire first two movies were about finding your own identity and making your own expectations and I feel like the whole canon event narrative inherently challenges what the movies stand for, so, really interested in seeing how the third movie goes, waiting will fucking kill me, and also with all the articles coming out about ATSV having insane crunch, I have a good feeling Beyond The Spiderverse is gonna be delayed. I kinda like that though because like, idk, do you guys ever get sad when a show or series ends. It's like the journey is over and then you move on and kind of forget about everything. I'm enjoying these movies and these characters and I don't mind marinating with em a little while longer

#reader is basically miguels emotional support animal lmao. you keep him from going just a little TOO crazy #atsv spoilers #just to be safe lol #i remember reading about adhd and object permanance and stuff and j wonder if thats why i drop shit so fast sometimes #because then it isnt 'there' and present for me to interact with and enjoy idk

Every Opportunity Pokemon Missed by not having Drew in Destiny Deoxys: A Non-Comprehensive But Still Long-Ass list

Art above- credit to the lovely @salon-maiden-anabel ! So. This is a topic that, if my sister mentions, she knows I will go off about it at the dinner table while my mother stares on confusedly. This is a topic I feel very strongly about, and I decided to put it into words for this post-and I KNOW I'm not the only one with strong feelings about this topic! @raich-raichu I know you showed interest in this topic when I said I'd do it so hope you don't mind if I @ you! THIS GOES FOR EVERYONE: PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE REBLOG WITH YOUR OWN OPINIONS AND/OR ADDITIONS ON THIS. I thrive on hearing everyone's takes and opinions. Images are included which makes it kind of long, each number on my list has a corresponding image below. For funsies. Also, I imagine this happening right before the last grand festival, though I know that’s incorrect. It just gives me more developed characters to work with since advanced and battle frontier Drew are pretty different development wise. This is with late AG Drew.

Some background. Why do I think Drew should be in Destiny Deoxys (which will be referred to as DD for the sake of my carpal tunnel)? What is the connection? Why DD and not, say Temple of the Sea? The key is the location. Drew is canonically from LaRousse City. And DD is the ONLY time we ever get to see it. Connection has been established. So... what would he even do in the movie? I'm glad you asked! Let's get into it. A numbered list of every missed opportunity the writers had by not including him.

1.) Character building through backstory. We know little to nothing about Drew's backstory, and this would have been a really natural way to learn more about it. We could have had a scene where we learn, oh, this is the flower shop his mother worked at and he grew up helping tend to the plants or whatever. This is the garden where he met budew. Just little things here and there would have been fascinating, and this movie's setting was a PERFECT opportunity for it. Plus, here's the vision. We get a semi emotional, nostalgic scene with his favorite place as a child, right? Rare Drew emotional moment, maybe sharing it with May and co.? And then, later in the movie, we see that place destroyed by the conflict in the city and we get an emotional sad moment there!!!! And in the ending credits with the song??? WE SEE HIM AND HIS POKEMON STAYING BEHIND IN THE CITY AND STARTING TO REBUILD IT (after waving at Ash and co. on the train back to mainland Hoenn). Guys, my vision is CLEAR AS DAY. Greenhouse time.

2.) Seeing him interact with other characters. Drew isn't the most extroverted guy out there, and we only ever really see him talk to Ash, May, Solidad, Harley, and Brianna. Also, May is the only consistent one in that list. That's literally five people, for those of you keeping count at home. In DD? A large cast of interesting characters for him to interact with, possibly childhood acquaintances that know him! We have Rebecca, purple hair metagross trainer who likes her computer more than most people. Sid, a human golden retriever. Rafe, who's basically Drew but with brown hair and none of the redeeming qualities. The two twins, whose names are never spoken and are only in the credits as Audrey and Kathryn (one of them also has a masquerain iirc, or at least a Surskit!). And Tory, kid who is scared of pokemon and tbh I wouldn't change Tory's role or screen interactions much. I would, however, say the others have a lot of potential for interactions with Drew. Rafe taunting both Ash and Drew at the same time? Rebecca and Drew getting along well because they're the only two who appreciate silence as a form of hanging out? Audrey and Katherine taking little sibling roles, possibly? Tons of possibilities here.

3.) Shamelessly plugging the contestshipping agenda here, but why else do you all follow me? Anyways, Sid from Destiny Deoxys has a sweet but entirely blatant crush on May (who actually knows and does not give much of a shit, though they get along well anyways). Now, I usually do not like jealousy tropes. I think they're easy to do poorly and for them to come across as posessive, which I am not a fan of. HOWEVER, I am a fan of Drew being all moody and bitchy /affectionate. I can see it going either one of two ways: one, we get asshole Drew back from season one of Advanced, who makes snide remarks at Sid who would likely brush it off as fun banter, further annoying Drew who literally cannot get under Sid's skin due to Sid's overwhelming optimism, or two, we get the Drew that has all of his walls up, hiding behind this cool facade of professionalism and aloofness, sort of emotionally overcompensating for trying to hide how much it irks him. Either way, would have been fun. Could have been used for comedy, too, since May is dumb as shit with the guy who has genuine feelings for her, but clocks the puppy love crush from Sid immediately. Would I have trusted the pokemon company to do this trope well? No, but it could have been funny as hell in the right hands.

4.) On that note, THE PASSPORT PHOTO SCENE. May isn't the most photogenic person in the world. Does he tease her about it? Does he make some offhand remark about how he thinks she looks nice before aloof-ly and deftly moving on from the topic, leaving her with the rare compliment as she tries to figure out if he was serious or not (or was it for her beautifly)? Does he show her how to retake it? DOES SHE GENUINELY SMILE IN THAT RETAKE PHOTO, LOOKING AT HIM BEHIND THE CAMERA ROBOT THING???????ASDFGHJKL so much potential with this already gold scene.

5.) More location-based character building. LaRousse City is home to the (or at least a) Battle Tower, and no mention of contests. This means, likely, that LaRousse is a very battle-enthusiast city. Did this make Drew feel like an outcast as a kid, being interested in something different from his peers? Could have been interesting.

6.) Let Drew have his hero moment. Let's be honest- most of the times that we see him, he's being either a jerk (affectionate), head-over-heels in love, or pathetic (see: Who What When Where Wynaut drowning incident). And in what I would categorize as an adventure anime, he has remarkably... little adventuring, save for a traipse in the woods with On Cloud Arcanine. This can be his moment to actually shine! He's obviously a great battler, though he prefers contest-oriented formats. He beat Ash with a type disadvantage. He's a strong trainer- let him put it to use and try to hold off the Deoxys clones (bonus points if he's holding them off from May, not that she needs him to save her ass).

7.) Forced togetherness with the crew. We know Drew has no issue spending time with May, and he's at the very least quite tolerant of Ash. But... Brock? Max? Fun fact, Brock CANONICALLY does NOT like Drew. At all. Calls him nails on a chalkboard. Makes this face at him (pictured below). Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't want more of that. Tell me to my face that you don't want more of him having to socialize and of Brock being... like this. Shit's hilarious.

Look at him.

I need more of this in my life.

8.) The angst. He has his entire city destroyed, let him have a grieving moment for it. Hell, let him have a moment where May tries to reach out and he has to decide if he's going to let her in or shut her out. Does he snap, like he did in May, We Harley Drew'd Ya? Does he let her in, like The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing? Do the other LaRoussians reach out to him and let him know, hey, we're in this together? DO THE PLUSLE AND MINUN TRY TO CHEER HIM UP??????

9.) Let him get separated from the group, or let the group get separated from him. Let him have panic, uncertainty, worry for his newfound friends. Humanize him a little bit for casual viewers who know him as 'that asshole with the roses'. You know how Pokemon loves shots of people reaching out to save someone? Give me that. Let him not reach their hand in time as Deoxys clones pull them away or as they get lost in a swarm of security bots. Give me a Drew that thinks he’s failed, that it’s his fault. It isn’t of course, I just like putting him through it. Then… give me a reunion scene. An “oh my god, you’re all safe, I thought I had lost you” scene. Did you guys know we don’t get a single contestshipping hug????? Ever???? No, her keeping him from drowning doesn’t count. I think that’s a crime and I think a “thank god you’re alive” hug, from either end, would be amazing. Ship mode activated. Imagine. May, spotting him from across the city plaza once the dust settles, and sprinting to him, nearly knocking him over with a hug that he hesitantly returns, before realizing he doesn’t want to let go. Alternately, the other way around: he lets his walls down long enough to hug her, to feel safe to break down for a minute in her arms because he was so fucking worried. May, short-circuiting slightly because wait, is this really the same rival that she accidentally threw a frisbee at and hated so long ago? Give me Sid reacting forlornly in the background too fhdhhf. I love Sid, he’ll be ok. (Also: Brock having a moment of “Oh. You’re still alive. Great.” Kidding, mostly.) also… Brock giving Sid a “yeah, I know how it feels” pat on the back???? Just a concept.

10.) More Roselia teasing him. She's the biggest contestshipper out there. I love this little green rose gal. We need more of her being snarky to her trainer. She had so much personality with so few appearances, I love her. GIVE HIS OTHER POKEMON PERSONALITIES TOO!!!! Give them time to shine! My own takes here, but I like to think Absol is over Drew's bullshit 24/7 and is the serious one of the group. Flygon? no thoughts head empty, like most reptiles. Ft. a picture of my own no thoughts head empty reptile, who made friends with a cricket in his cleaning bowl below under Roselia gif. The others, no idea but there's my takes.

[kitkatopinions]

I'm with the people who say that they definitely don't want a second season of the Ever After as-is and I literally was one of the people going "I'll be happy if they're out of this fairy tale land in two episodes" buuuut with that being said, I can't help but feel like almost everything that's been happening so far would be way better if a lot more time could be spent on it instead of rushing through every plot point even faster it feels like than we did with volume 8.

Like, the girls falling, finding each other, actually talking about what happened on screen and with Ruby not passed out, the auction that takes like five minutes in canon, the chess game, them getting confronted with questions about what they are (which needed to be way better and different anyway,) the attack on the market which they barely seemed to try to fight (seriously they had a harder time fighting the Nevermore in the like fourth ep than they had with the enlarged Jabberwalker,) seeing Jaune for the first time, the punderstorm where only Blake and Yang were forced to work through a problem... I feel like all of these things could've been improved if they'd been given more room to breathe and were treated more seriously as opportunities for all the rwby girls to grow.

But specifically since it's the ep that just came out, I'm thinking about the Paper Pleaser town.

Thinking about how the girls showed like no interest in helping the town and instantly dismissed Jaune as unhinged and unreliable and instantly were just like 'oh guess these little paper stars trying to destroy themselves is fine because Ascension was described as a good thing here,' and then instantly it was revealed to Jaune that they didn't think he was reliable (I will point out, I could be wrong since I only watched the ep once, but Ruby seemed pretty not involved in any of that conversation so it feels less 'the girls did all that' and more like 'wby did all that,' but that's just a side note.) And I don't know, I just feel like this would be way better if we got to see Ruby at least acting kind of relieved to leave the work of finding a way out to Jaune while she throws herself into trying to follow the clearly laid out schedule and WBY are kind of being unhelpful (like they have been almost all season,) and Ruby starts acting a bit more frustrated with them, but maybe starts rethinking the things the Cat said and realizing that the Paper Pleasers are acting unhappy which WBY are realizing too, and they could also be noticing that despite Jaune going out every day looking for a solution, he isn't finding one and while one of the girls (Yang or Blake maybe) could start worrying a bit about how Jaune is doing and trying to reach out to him, one of the other girls (Weiss or Blake maybe) could start kind of pushing Ruby about time running out and how they need to find a solution and one of the other girls (Weiss or Yang maybe) could start actually doubting Jaune and getting a bit suspicious and all four of them could hear the Paper Pleasers take on Ascension. And honestly the Cat could show up again and talk to Ruby and she could get 'answers' out of it concerning ascension and more details about Alyx but still not be sure who to trust and grapple with the emotions of never knowing who to trust anymore and how her friends rely on her and tbh maybe she goes to tell her team about talking to the Cat but they react badly so she keeps it to herself (hello Oz parallels.) Then Jaune could overhear the girls talking about whether or not he's right about ascension or if Ruby should be the one actually looking for a way out because he doesn't seem to be doing much, and then that could actually turn into a real conversation where it's put on Ruby again to find a solution and fix things and talk to Jaune and find a way out and should they try and find the Cat again and what does Ruby think about Alyx and Lewis and how much should they be taking the book into account - but before Ruby can do much more than say 'I don't know' Neo's Jabberwalkers show up.

It could be so much better if we had time to actually TRY and figure things out. If we got more information about Ascension - what happened to the Caterpillar, if the Red King got worse what does that mean, how does the Ever After even work - then it wouldn't feel as questionable or confusing when the Afterans all destroy themselves in their effort to ascend. If the girls (Ruby particularly) did let Jaune try to find a way out for a bit before starting to question his reliability, they wouldn't look like jackwagons who don't want to do tasks they consider menial (WBY particularly.) If the girls had gotten to know the Paper Pleasers a bit more, they'd feel more justified in accepting their words over Jaune's (even though he does seem biased to me.) If at least one of them had tried to reach out to Jaune about his mental health, they'd feel a little less judgmental. If Ruby had tried to find answers and listen to different perspectives, it'd feel like good solid growth to me of her not just accepting anyone's words at random, but instead struggling because she doesn't know what the truth is. If Ruby was given good reason to think that Ascension was better than Jaune makes it out to be it'd make more sense and be less dismissive of her to take a jab at his 'mourning' (though don't get me wrong it'd still be harsh heroes can be flawed.) If Ruby had been shown to be relieved to hand the reins of leadership and responsibility over to someone else only to have her team continue to act like she has to make every choice and must come up with every solution, it would feel a bit more reasonable when she says her 'why are you asking me' piece (although I'll say that I think it would've been better if instead of saying 'why do I have to be the leader' she said 'we're supposed to be a team' because imo Ruby hasn't exactly been open to others outside RWBYJNOR leading and has made a lot of choices that put her where she is but her team has been 100% over-relying on her in very unfair ways.)

Idk, I just feel like some of this stuff needs more time, it can't all be one thing after another all the time in your face. There could be so much more depth to this show if they gave things the proper amount of focus and let their audience sit with things. Idk, maybe they know that the majority of their fandom myself included will just write metas and fanfics that do all that for them so they don't have to actually do more than Thor Ragnarok in terms of depth and emotion.

Okay so I have a headcanon about Jack partially having a soul in the DSAF games, and i'm gonna share why I have that headcanon!

so, here's why i headcanon this! i call it "Bug's handy-dandy 3-pointed-reason for why jack has a soul!"

#1) The flipside and blackjack

So, we all know that blackjack is Jack's soul, right? and we all know that blackjack is in the flipside. well, if we interpret it literally, then this line of dialogue:

creates a plothole, because if this literal interpretation is the truth, then blackjack should be the one pushing jack out.

unless jack is only one half of the entire soul (kinda like how dave and davetrap are two halves of a whole, if that makes sense).

"oh, but jack wouldn't be able to go through if he had a soul, even if it were one half. it is said in the story that the flipside works like a mirror" SHHHHHHHHH lets just ignore that gaping hole in my argument for the sake of hearing me infodump

and, we know that if a soul repossesses its own body, it gets split in two, so, maybe jack tried to repossess his own body after his promise to fredbear?

#2) the fact that fredbears burnt down with jack inside BEFORE the dave fight

so, as we all know, in the good ending, jack burns down the pizzeria with himself inside. but, what has always bugged me was this line of dialogue:

"Burned it all down" is in past tense. but if jack burnt down fredbear's with himself inside, how is he in the flipside if he is just the body?

now, before you say "blackjack brought him back!" you've gotta remember something: every time throughout all of the games, we could only enter the flipside if we physically went to an arcade cabinet. meaning, that the only logical way jack could be in the flipside is if he had a soul.

"Oh, but what about the happiest day in dsaf 2? doesn't dee bring jack to the flipside then?" well, we don't actually get confirmation of that. for all we know, jack could've just walked back to the arcade cabinet, since, in the canon ending, jack is still inside of the dsaf 2 location. same point goes for the dsaf 1 location. we don't get confirmation that dee brought him there. for all we know, jack could've snuck back into the dsaf 1 location later that day.

"but jack returned to the real world after the fight with henry!" you may be saying to yourself. but to that I say, look at the state of the building.

Fire can spread extremely fast, and according to google, it only takes like 5 minutes for a building to catch fire. if this did happen after jack went into the flipside (which, that section usually only takes up to 20 or so minutes), the building would be in a much worse state.

now, it only takes 2 minutes at the very least to die in a fire from suffocation, but to that I say: He's a zombie. he probably doesn't need lungs

#3) DAVE AND JACK DESERVE A HAPPY ENDING GOD DAMMIT

look me in the face rn and say that these two should ever be separated.

THEY ARE A PAIR. DO NOT SEPARATE THEM!!! LET THEM GET MARRIED IN THE AFTERLIFE TOGETHER GOD DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i will not take this injustice sitting down!!!!

oh and uh

secret wacky point #4) Jack has a personality

speaks for itself, really. man just feels like he has a soul, to me at least.

#dsaf #dayshift at freddy's #long post #textpost #rambling #burning building mention #gore #<- kinda? putting it just incase #fire mention #major character death #death mention #davesport #this is all /lh btw!! #this isnt meant to drum up any arguments in the dsaf community on here bhvnfdjsk

[grahamcarmen]

Little rant but I saw a semi recent post about how RedCrackle is weird cause Carmen mentioned how she sees Graham as a big brother and that shipping them is weird cause if the brother/sister dynamic and I’m like……. Why are people still arguing if it’s okay to ship TWO NON RELATED ADULTS 😭 almost been three years since the show ended and peope still think redcrackle is like Reylo or like pro ships😭😭😭 I could literally write a page on why RedCrackle is the ship that makes the most sense out of the show but I digress

Ok

A) if you ever mind *-* I would like to hear why you like red crackle ! I like hearing why other people like them :3

B)...yeah ok I'm ...always beyond frustrated that this still is a thing.

And I try not to touch on it too much because other people have already mentioned why that its not SooOoo weird to consider them romantically :/. and I like them kissing endgame so that usually all I have to say about it most of the time.

Most people don't. I really do.

And I've Reblogged from people who already said 🤨? For me . [Including nodding my head at a couple people who waaay back in s1 !who didn't even ship RC! react like "oh ok siblingless behavior" to comments like that+ arguments that usually *he's like a brother* can be used as a "we are close" statement for the moment when those feeling actually might change ex: see pam from the office]

But like if you don't like even a wiff of that type of connection implication happening with your ships? It squicks ya out that happening in ANY point of the dynamic ? Toeachandallthat

However repeating the 2 cents today. ITS A CANON THING THAT CARMEN WAS PUT IN A SITUATION WHERE GRAY LOOKS HER UP AND DOWN AND THINKS SHES ATTRACTIVE AND ASKS HER OUT ON A DATE AND SHE ALMOST GOES. ITS NOT A FANON THING. ITS LITERALLY AN EPISODE.

They are not related!! Hence. "Like" a brother. Not brother. And him acting friendly to her for a year doesn't make them related. [💀dude...a single year?]

And both of those times are an acknowledgment of what their Past dynamic was before

A) he was revealed to have completely different values than her [but she still has hope for him even tho looking up to him is over]

B) the possibility of reconciliation was presented as a possibly romantic one.

" before he was crackle he was gray and gray was like a big brother to me, I thought I lost him for good but this could be...i don't know... some sort of do over., a second chance?"

Everything about that do over is slightly romantic tinged and carmen KNOWS. And her eyes still light up ala 🥺

AAAAAAAANd for good measure she slips up and apologizes to GRAY for standing him up on the date with soft smile which im inclined to think is as genuine as the grimace when he reminds her that GRAY didn't ask her out. Graham did.

I'm not gonna pretend she fell right then and there but the possibility does not disgust her. She even flirts a bit back.

Thats not what hinders her.

vile having him does.

💀like idk why its so hard to accept the fact of some people liking that it might change because the original dynamic already HAS changed and if they even want to be friends later they need to parse out a lot of stuff. Its like not as simple as this is what they were and always should be. Even after literally everything that has happened.

And even the show makes carmen acknowledge that in the Himalayas when she doesn't get her [ skip ahead ]. Its more complicated than that. The people and emotions involved are more complicated than that.

And Hey ! HI! Gray does end the series with romantic feelings for her just not really the confidence that she would want to see him again.

So like...don't ship them idc but like the idea of romance in the carmen/gray dynamic was a show thing, they're both adults , not related , KNOW what they were to each other and have peeked at what they MIGHT be while bringing it up TWICE [ at the himalayas/ and a flashback when she's regaining her memories] so 🤷‍♀️ like idk why the surprise that some people hope it does go in that direction

#ask #red crackle thoughts #this is such a pointless loop de loop we do every ...what few months #how come you're getting on peoples cases instead of the writers #you caught me in a mood #also after having ftl is the best type of ship posts being forced at me by this site for a solid 6 years i have seen people fail #to recognize it in 2 films #brother and sister dynamkic 😒 *pfft*i want to say something else but i shant #but also this isnt an invitation to get on writers cases either #one of them is accidentally or on purpose catering to me and i am grateful #loop de loop discourse

Miles 42 x F Reader

Attention! Angst! Death and other events occurring in Marvel.

I recently watched Avatar. This new part and this part from 2009. Awesome and now I want to be blue and be at least 2 meters high. And I want to say that each of the earth numbers used is not accidental.

I feel like a win when I lose.

-Who are you to me anyway?- Miles asked me.

-Your girlfriend on Earth 42, but don't worry. Miles from the dimensions above the earth 1000 are not my type. - I replied with a laugh during the last sentence, looking at Gwen apologetically.

How are you girls, guys and non-binaries? Here is your favorite and unique Spider-Girl not in her universe! My name is Reader Hardy and at the beginning my destiny on Earth 42 was to be Black Cat, but after an incident where there was no hero there, I had to give up being a hot cat. It's a pity, but at least girls are constantly attracted to me, not to mention boys. Supposedly, I'm a normal teenager who goes to Visions school, listens to Ayesha Erotica, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Gwen Stefani, but at night and sometimes during the day I am the iconic Spider-Girl. And you can ask. Why Spider-Girl and not Spider-Woman? While thinking about my identification name, I realized that for now I see myself as more of a girl than a woman. Okay, we have to stop this monologue.

-Really?”-Miles asked.

-Yes. Men below 1000 Earth are mostly hotter. - I replied and took off the mask. We're at HQ and Gwen is giving Miles a little tour.

-No, it's not about that. I'm your boyfriend on Earth 42?- he asked, surprised.

-Buddy, by this logic you are someone's boyfriend on every earth. For example, on Earth 8, you are Gwen's husband. That's how it works. For example, I'm dating Peter on earth 901220. And, for example, our Peter is with Mary Jane on earth 616B.- I explained to him.

-Doesn't that make you feel a little weird?- Miles asked me with a grimace.

-Only a little, but it's not that bad. For example, we won't have such an attitude because my Miles is your opposite. Literally. - I wanted to reduce the tension.

-That's true. Once Reader showed me a picture of him and he's a total geek and you're a nerd. - Gwen laughed.

-Seriously...! Oh, I'm sorry, but I have to sweep up. There will be a canon event soon. - I said and opened a portal to my earth.

-Wait! Canon what?- Miles asked.

-Gwen will explain!- I said and entered the portal.

I found myself in an alley next to the police station and everything.

I closed the portal and put on the mask. Thanks to my nets, I jumped onto the police station building. Nice view. It's already evening which means my shift starts now. Why should I sit at the police station? After all, the American police will shoot me and maybe my mother will.

I swinged (I don't know what to call it) to the building opposite and was about to swing somewhere else but I heard an explosion and screams coming from the police station. Oh no. Please, I beg you not.

My reaction was quick and in a few seconds I was already in the ruins of the previous building.

I saw the bodies of policemen and policewomen. I quickly picked up the four bodies and set them down far away from the building, and did this a few more times. My mother was nowhere to be found. I moved the bodies that I could get out a little further away from the living. I heard sirens. Police from another station, many ambulances and the fire brigade will be here soon. Wait what's that?

-Reader....Reader......- I heard groans from under the rubble. I quickly pushed them away and saw my mother whose legs were now just a memory. The only thing that kept her alive was that the large stone on her legs stopped some of the bleeding.

-Ma!... Mrs. Hardy!- I said and crouched down next to her.

-Spider-Girl? Please, please tell me, is my daughter safe? - my mother asked me.

-Your daughter is safe because she is right here.- I replied with tears in my eyes.

-Reader? I could have guessed. The secrets, the oddities, the excuses. Reader, please. Let me see your face one last time.- my mother said. No one could see us through the rubble and smoke. I took off my mask. My face didn't look good at all. Tears and bulging eyes.

-My brave daughter became a hero. What a pity that I won't be able to see your next actions. - Mom smiled weakly.

-You will see. The rescuers will come for you soon and everything will be fine.- I said with false hope.

-Reader remember, with great power comes great responsibility.- Her eyes had no life left in them, she didn't move.

-No, no, no.... MOM! - I put on the mask and stood up, the services started searching the area for more victims.

-Here!- I shouted and when they started getting closer, I left.

I ran into my room and quickly changed into my normal clothes. I couldn't stand it and fell to the floor crying.

After a while, Miles ran into my room, but when I first looked at him, it looked like he was happy about something earlier, but when he saw me, his smile disappeared.

-Reader! What happened? - Miles asked me and knelt down next to me. I couldn't answer. The TV in my room was showing the news.

-Ladies and gentlemen. Today at 7:25 p.m. a police station in Brooklyn exploded. 20 people died and 15 were injured. The dead were Carl Grayson, Mark Smith, Jannie Queen, Camila Hardy.... the serial criminal Prowler was seen at the scene. It is believed that he is the reason and culprit of the massacre... - I didn't listen anymore.

-Prowler, he killed my mom.- I somehow managed to say.

-Wait, doesn't your mom work at the 99th Precinct in Brooklyn?- Miles asked me.

-No, Miles, she worked on the one that's in ruins because of that son of a bitch. - Miles didn't tell me anything. I looked to the side at something glowing purple under his coat.

-Miles, where were you then? - I asked him, looking into his eyes.

-Ummm, at home.- he replied, avoiding eye contact.

-You're lying.- I said and got up and he immediately followed me.

-Not at all.- he said, trying not to avoid eye contact.

-You're a Prowler... How could you?! I trusted you! - I started screaming and crying.

-It's not like that! I didn't want to kill your mother.- Miles tried to explain.

-You wanted to kill everyone! You knew this would happen! I hate you! YOU KILLED MY MOTHER! - I screamed.

-Reader!- Miles took a step back.

-Go away! I do not want to know you! The only reason I'm letting you go innocent now is because Spider-Girl will take care of you! And God knows if you try to talk to me again, I'll break your neck.- I threatened him. Miles left my apartment with a serious expression on his face.

I sat on the bed and the tears flowed mercilessly. I looked at my 'watch'.

"Canon event completed"

[gerrydelano]

bad end pbr is eating my brain so badly i am so sad but also it has Fascinating implications for jonah's next steps. ANNABELLE'S next steps.

like. dude, jonah SCREWED HIMSELF body hopping into faraday and losing his positioning at the institute. he staked CENTURIES of work on this decision. like it was a smart as fuck move in the world where gerry reads that final sentence (pbr canon) but if danny succeeded in killing gerry???? if it all ended right there????

pharos would have successfully wiped the chessboard completely clean by asking danny to kill him. they would save the fucking world, for the time being anyway, and it'd all be because pharos had the foresight to say "i'm not making it through this." they would have fucking won, technically, and even jonah would have no idea what his next move would be for a while. annabelle might keep him in her back pocket but even she might open up her options to somebody else who wants to pull off the same thing. it would take fucking forever to get started again. pharos would have stolen elias' privileged position, his opportunities, his entire pool of candidates, everything. he took everything from him by saying, "kill me." and he would be satisfied in knowing that, because gerry would see it as worth it, too.

the problem is that it's as pyrrhic as a victory gets for the archives team because now imagine them having to go back there without gerry. imagine tim without gerry. danny with this new sin on his scoreboard. jon completely lost, sasha consumed in TIM'S grief a la corruption style, martin still the only one on danny's "side." which danny wouldn't even want! he would literally skip town and grift his way around the globe for like, ten months solid without a word to even martin. he can't handle this, the weight of it is too much, it's just too fucking much to live with when his brother finally can't look at him. finally, a punishment from tim for any number of the things he's done all this time and yet if that's all the punishment is? a cold shoulder? danny is like That's It????? that's all anyone's gonna give me here? a slap on the wrist? he can't handle that. he can't.

and tim. tim. oh tim. he just sinks so deep into the end that there's hardly a day goes by where he's not 1) wet 2) stone-faced and cold. how do you come back from this? how do you stop the apocalypse only to see your wife dead on the floor and knowing your own brother is the one who swung a hammer at his head? it's impossible. how do you go on with that knowledge? having known in advance that pharos and danny made that deal in the first place?

in this world, tim would have dreamed of gerry in the coming days beforehand and he would have been absolutely losing his mind because that was his own worst fear. and here it is. a technical suicide that he had to witness the aftermath of, just like everything else he feeds on. he's snacking on his closest friends and the grief is so deep that it makes him stronger and he hates it. he hates it. he hates it.

his next move is that he wants to kill elias. whatever it takes, he's going to hunt him down and kill him and then he's going to try and leave the institute using the knowledge that gerry would have passed to him when he told tim about his conversation with Eric. they have the secret right there. they could all leave, if they could stomach it. tim thinks he will, once he does what he needs to do.

and jonah should be very scared. because tim is basically the walking creature from it follows and he is not going to give up anytime soon.

also isla-mae wants to kill elias, too, so there's a hunter after him as well! yay! everything is bad for jonah and we love to see it.

but by g-d is it lonely. it is so empty. it is so quiet. it's so wrong without gerry here and no one knows what to do.

divshah brings cocoa with the rest of their regular orders one too many times and sasha has to tell her to stop. gerry's not here anymore, and seeing that fucking cup of cocoa is just. too much. please, stop.

and divshah is one of the only outsiders to actually mourn him and cry openly about it and seeing that just rocks tim's world. evidence that even people who barely knew gerry still care that he died and it wasn't completely silent. even if no one will ever know that his sacrifice saved the fucking world, that doesn't matter. somebody cares that he's gone. his life was almost a secret the whole time, his suffering was a secret, he was presumed dead HOW many times? eventually you feel like the boy who cried wolf. but it's real now. it really happened this time. he's not just lurking in the shadows anymore, he's gone. and finally, somebody notices.

i'm like actually tearing up lmao this fucking au! hurts!!!! i want to go home and keep writing dammit

0H0! who're these?!

OH HELL YES I GET TO TALK ABOUT EXOCOLONIST!!!!

ok so basically they're characters from a game called I was a teenage exocolonist. the game has a lot of stuff but it also has romanceable characters. this got very long so I'm putting it under the cut

the main character is sol (which is why they're in all the polyamorous relationships that exist with the romanceable characters). technically they don't have a personality of their own because the whole game is about making choices as sol so it wouldn't quite work yknow.

dys is the most perfect human being in space. sym is the most perfect alien in space. usually they kinda fall in love with each other even though dys should have been aromantic and to me he is. sometimes if you manage to interact enough with both of them, they fall in love with each other and with you (so sol bc main character). I can't remember how that ending goes tbh bc I got it a long long time ago but in my head sol, dys and sym stay in love forever and live happily ever after as trees or whatever.

now rex is also the most perfect human being in space. he's part dog also, not that that's relevant. the game never says it but he's aroallo and you cannot argue with me about it because you know I'm right. he's the best romanceable character because 1 he lets you hug him every season (technically you can hug him endlessly but like you only get friendship points for hugging him once per season) and 2 not only is he up for having a casual / open relationship, he also is fine with fucking as friends (the fucking is just implied btw like fade to black sort of thing), AND you can date him like. usual dating the same way you date everyone else in that game.

now marz is the most beautiful person in space. she is also insufferable for a while but I forgive her as long as she doesn't invent capitalism (canonically she usually invents capitalism yes). I love her she's done nothing wrong except for inventing capitalism. now the thing about her is that apparently no matter what she never ends up with a fixed partner (or so I've heard) and I think that's very aromantic of her. anyways she kind of always thinks rex is hot and gets together with him BUT if you date her first or rex first (tbh idk bc I always do the same thing and date rex and leave her alone god bless) then eventually one of them asks to make the relationship include them both. thus we have sol, marz, rex.

nomi (aka nomi nomi) is rex's best friend. they are canonically nonbinary and some flavor of aroace that is unclear to me because what the fuck is demi/ace supposed to mean like. is it demiro ace? is it demiace? what. but anyways if you keep bribing them to like you (as you do with all the characters) for all of eternity eventually they fall in love with you. I think. it's been a while I can't remember. they also fall in love with rex. so then we got sol, rex and nomi.

the reason why I hate sol, rex and nomi together is that nomi is aroace to me like non partnering aroace like they are so sex repulsed and romance repulsed throughout the whole game and then suddenly they're in love with their best friend who literally says they're like siblings earlier???? cmon.

anyways yes. thank you for asking me about my blorbos who I'm very normal about.

[jalebi-weds-bluetooth]

Hi jalebi. How r u? Love the new exchange of thoughts between u and honey. I had a question does in your version of stuff does khushi complete her education because honestly u need to know some stuff about business to be running 1 abroad especially. Secondly y did Arnav mention first night during nanital track in front of so many people. I know these 2 diff topics feel free to ignore if not nice. Thank u

Hello @goals1024

I'm doing well, how about you? Haha I know @honeybellexox is an amazing person and I'm having the best time chatting with her about IPK <3

(pic credit: chisty creations)

In my version of the canon I believe Khushi first manages her catering business, when that's stable she pursues a business degree while opening her first store. Then, based on profits and other factors (such as demand for sweets and all) she goes forward with expanding her sweet shop.

---

THE NAINITAL TRACK

Arnav's justifiable anger and Khushi's consistent flaw

(pic credit: @phati-sari)

Regarding Nainital let's say one thing - Arnav was inappropriate to suggest a wedding night.

He wanted to put her on the spot and give her a 'tit for tat' and to be honest, I understand his anger.

He just learnt that Khushi sabotaged his trip. For what? For him and Lavanya to be romantically stuck in Nainital and forego the business meeting.

Khushi is wrong in MULTIPLE levels.

First of all she is overstepping multiple boundaries by interfering into Arnav and Lavanya's love life. Granted that this time La is sharing everything with Khushi and the Raizadas have normalized interfering in Arnav-La's relationship to Khushi - but there's a difference between giving unsolicited advice versus actively doing things that affects someone. Arnav has told Khushi, at least 10 times, to not interfere in his personal life.

Khushi's decisions costed Arnav. He loses out on a conference, he needs to reschedule everything. He doesn't have a back up plan ready. It's a bit of a logistical nightmare - especially considering it wasn't a meeting at AR, it was a scheduled meeting outside of the main city.

And you know the meeting was essential because Arnav himself was attending it. So it wasn't a simple logistical conference. It definitely costed the company time and money.

So not only does Khushi interfere in his personal life, professional life - she also publicly embarrasses him. She paints him as a man who abandons the woman he ran away with. Oh God the bitter foreshadowing...

And imagine she does all this right after she tells that she's concerned for him and accuses him of not using his brains in anger when literally it takes Arnav to burst on Khushi for her to realize the damage her actions lead to. Like even I rolled my eyes when Arnav went "do you realize what you've done? Have you lost your damn mind?"

And her going "Oh... sorry... I didn't think this would happen."

And you know she didn't because she just randomly removed petrol so they'd stop midway. She had no estimate! Even if Khushi's plan worked - how would it be any romantic for La and Arnav to be stranded in a lone highway because of empty fuel? How would they get petrol? How quickly could they receive help? How will missing work lead to intimacy between Arnav-Lavanya?

We clearly understand Khushi is motivated by films, and of course we should get it that all of this is executed with taste of crack comedy - like we're really not supposed to be taking this seriously.

But imagine if you lost a conference, have a logistical nightmare in front of you, have to walk miles because you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, and learn that the one person you're with is responsible for everything. Then suddenly the person shows concern and when you, understandably, refuse to listen to them - they make a huge public scene and paint you as someone who abandoned their lover midway so you can be threatened and coerced by strangers into doing their bidding.

Again, all of this is truly meant as comedy so we're not supposed to be taking it seriously, but what I mean is I understand where Arnav is coming from. As well as his decision to play into the lie Khushi strengthens and, in turn, just show her that her actions have consequences. And well... embarrass her.

Oh they're a newly eloped couple? Has she thought what that insinuates? Fine, it's their wedding night tonight.

It does not excuse Arnav because one wrong is not corrected with another wrong, and the gravity of his retaliation is almost always worse than Khushi's actions - so while he has been justifiably rebuked in the show and by the fans for his decisions, the unfortunate thing is Khushi's mistakes are almost always overlooked.

And I love that Khushi makes mistakes - her inability to see the consequence of her actions is very consistent. It happens with her getting overwhelmed by telling the Shyam's truth to Anjali and choosing the safest option - neither hurting Anjali nor Payal in the process. Or even in the Swami track when Khushi ends up eating the whole dinner by herself, she does not realize she should keep some aside for Arnav and that he really has not eaten. Or even during Mrs. India (if we consider that canon), she does not see how her actions really have little to do with Aarav nor does prove any point to Arnav cause he literally uses his power and is lucky to have another judge who keeps Khushi in his good books. Or how bringing in a man who kidnapped her husband, sexually harassed her multiple times and didn't hesitate to cheat his pregnant wife - would be a disaster move.

So I love she has her consistent flaw. The problem in narration isn't having a flaw. It's not growing from it. They never show how her lack of foresight is something she struggles with and something she needs to learn from - unalike Arnav, where the show perfectly paints his anger as problematic and that he needs to control it otherwise he hurts the people he loves.

I personally feel, if we ignore the Mrs. India track, Khushi truly grows as a character is in the one scene where she admits to Arnav that she doesn't know. Khushi often gets overwhelmed when she has a lot of decide or understands her actions could/have/can lead to someone's sorrow so she takes it upon herself to fix everything. 

So when Arnav gently questions her why she thinks leaving him would make things better for Aarav, and Khushi breaks down admitting she doesn't know if it would and that she doesn't know anything at all - it is finally some character growth for her.

She trusts his intentions, shares her burden of pain with him - and it's no surprise the problem was resolved in 24 hours.

But yes, regardless of this the Nainital Track is one of the best written tracks because they set the intention straight - it’s going to be an out and out comedy and above all Khushi accepts her mistakes! So don’t think it was severely flawed or anything - I still laugh out loud till date watching everything! 

Thank you so much for this ask - it turned into an analysis! 

Best,

- Jalebi

[izzy-b-hands]

I know it's gonna drive up his BP, but I so much want for Izzy in s2 to just. Admit and Feel and Let Himself Feel without shame or wanting to make up for taking that time for himself. Sit with those feelings and act on them if needed/appropriate or let the other crew members be there to help while the feeling passes. Like, I can't seem to get fic out rn for this, but Ideas that I'm v aware would not happen like this in canon if at all:

Admit his feelings for Ed. I don't see Ed getting upset or laughing in like? a malicious way? But I could see him joking abt it to sort of relieve the tension and lighten the mood but for Izzy that would be like. Oh. Okay. Thanks for that. I regret every single moment of this.

He comes out from the captains' quarters willing himself not to cry until he's back in his room (the Worst Feeling bc idk abt y'all but I never make it to somewhere private before the tears fall) and there's an odd number of the crew laying about on the deck, all sort of watching him carefully.

He anticipates a mob and to be thrown overboard. Not for this moment in particular, necessarily. But it's always in the back of his mind now.

They let him pass by without a word. He knows they know what he was going in there to do, bc it was a comment by Stede ("Some things never do change; I'm back and Izzy is still looking at Ed Like That. Maybe some things could change though. Should change. Quickly, now that the ship has both her captains, and one that's quite skillful with a blade now, I must say...") that sets him off and has him break down and angrily tell Stede not to worry; he'll change things right now. Because what's the point if Ed barely wants him around either way, why not let any and everything out and fucking implode the bridge along with burning it (not actually true abt Ed not wanting him around, but that's how it's been coming off to Izzy, They Need To Talk so badly!)

And he stomps off towards the quarters he knows Ed is in and figures if it goes worse than he expects (god he hopes that isn't possible) then he'll just throw himself overboard right after and hope for a hungry shark.

And then. They finally fucking talk lmao.

Over the next few days as much as he Hates how it went with Ed (tho he does appreciate that they are slowly approaching something like their old normal since, like back to the earliest days of sailing together normal. They can joke and plot and go about the day more easily. It feels comfortable and safe, even as he fights the urge to roll his eyes at some of Bonnet's ideas)

He decides to do it again. This time, an admission and apology to the crew for his various fuck ups. He can't make eye contact with anyone the entire time and by the end is literally staring at the deck bc Huge Crowd of Crew in front of him and all their eyes on him and that's the way this should be, probably, but jfc-

A hand claps him on the back and awkwardly jokes not to do any of it again, and maybe they can give him a chance.

He looks up to find Olu who shrugs and is like 'actually it's kind of weird that you felt the need to almost beg on your knees like this in front of us just to like. stay here? I mean thank u for the apology and tbh we still don't...like u all that much. But you're a crew member all the same.'

(cut to frenchie & jim who've spent time with him now who wince bc they're the outliers here. They don't maybe love Izzy, but they've seen a different side of Ed and Izzy and how the dynamics change based on crew size & other factors, and he's... he's okay. He's trying)

Finally, over a week later, the crew pushes Izzy to talk to Stede bc holy shit you two don't have to like each other but y'all are absolutely creating a hostile work environment with how you talk to one another. Fix that shit.

They wind up pulling Ed in who makes a joke abt how he's a little shocked Stede didn't glom onto Izzy first with his leather and his swordsmanship and overall Badass Pirate Aesthetic.

It's like a fucking lightbulb goes off. Had they not immediately been bitchy to each other...they might have mildly gotten along. Maybe fucked. Probably the former more, but who can say?

Ed giggles and tells him where Stede is and wishes him luck (bc he would like them to get along. He really would.)

Stede sits on the floor in the captains' quarters, with parchment and ink (he's trying to write out what he remembers of his fave books that got thrown out) beside him. He has to keep adjusting bc it's not v comfy and they still need to buy and/or steal new furniture.

Izzy walks in to this and panics slightly. He knows he could do something nice for Bonnet here, but he wouldn't be surprised if Stede takes it poorly anyway.

But he told Ed he would do this. He knows, finally, that he should.

Bonnet's comment, though sort of rude, wasn't entirely wrong.

He sneaks back out and below deck to where he and Frenchie have started a project sewing up floor cushions (they understand why Ed didn't want any of Stede's things around at the time but also. Ed everything is made of wood on this ship why couldn't we have kept An Chair at least. But to be fair to Ed, he was going thru it at the time & we all fuck up in those moments sometimes)

Brings a finished one back up that's in this yellow silk with beading (they raided a French ship & it was wonderful for their diversifying their sewing supplies) and sort of bops Stede on the arm with it bc fuck how does he start this?!

Stede turns and frowns to see Izzy there, but there's a flash of confusion at being offered the cushion (that he takes and sits on immediately bc fucking hell his joints hurt his back hurts his ass hurts and that one is the worst bc it was the floor that did it, not anything fun with Ed)

And that sets Izzy off.

He sits and looks at the parchment on the floor, the whorls of the wooden floor itself, anything else that isn't Bonnet. It's always too hard to look at people with things like this, for Izzy. He doesn't know quite why.

It pours out. How Stede doesn't get that the rest of them didn't get to treat piracy like a fancy adventure, they didn't get to bring along all their fave clothes and things (most of them probably didn't have much at all. Izzy knows he didn't.) They watched other pirates now and again, sailing about and dying and dying and dying young, Bonnet, so fucking young, which sure that's the risk you take, but what about when every path elsewhere is as risky as staying put, and none of them really guarantee your safety, let alone your happiness, and even if you find both something or someone might come along to threaten it-

He freezes at Stede's hand on his shoulder, and expects some snarky comment and to be told to fuck off.

Stede tells him to keep going (he can hear doug and mary in his head telling him to shut the fuck up and let Izzy talk. Lovingly, but bluntly.)

So he does. Izzy tells him everything he can remember, of his own life, of the young start with Ed as pirates ("almost as shitty of pirates as you were, Bonnet. Almost.") Of Ed, of Ed, of Ed, so much about Ed. In laughs and giggles and occasionally tears. Years of time spent together.

And the lightbulb clicks for Stede then.

That one talk doesn't make things amazing between them. But it helps. The days that follow help too.

And Izzy finds that Ed and Stede, when they aren't spending time together, spend more time with him and the crew. He gets invited by Ed or Stede, then Olu too and Jim, until even Olivia is angrily pecking his shoulder until he goes to join the latest chapter read before bed or arts and crafts project on the deck

They might even actually want him there. It feels uncertain and almost scary?

But he likes it.

(Tho he does disagree with Stede on how many beads and buttons should be used on a flag. He asked them to make new flags to celebrate being together again, and that means sometimes expressing yourself with maybe an alarming amount of silvery sparkling beads!!)

[lycienne]

Hey! so I have a genuine question for you because the idea that you are like this, as a Dragon Age fan, boggles my mind;

How are you a fan of the Dragon Age games and just so transphobic? Like, Krem is RIGHT there, fully a man. Bull defends him, flat out denies any idea that Krem might be anything but a man (which btw, he is a man. that’s it.). Krem isn’t the only trans character in the series either! Maevaris is a trans woman! And she’s treated as a woman! (which again, is because she is a woman.)

So I guess to reiterate my question, how are you a fan of the Dragon Age series when it is just so obviously full of Trans Allies, and has trans people in it? You obviously aren’t an ally. So do you just deny canon and say whatever you want about Krem and Maevaris?

Sincerely, a Trans person.

Oh sweet Jesus, that again.

First, I don't have anything against trans people as a whole- there are many decent trans people out there, just not all of them. Especially the bunch with the colored hair and pronoun badges screeching around at protests like harpies who can't go a minute without saying how trans and gay they are...as a neurodivergent autistic woman who gets panic attacks when encountering loud crowds of any kind, that's literally a nightmare for me. This goes for cis people, too, btw, before you accuse me of anything, but on.

Krem is a woman who wishes to be a man, otherwise, she wouldn't be trans, right? If she were a (biological) man wishing to be a man, if that is even possible, she would be a cis man, so the logic goes. And yes, The Iron Bull defends her. One fictional character supports another fictional character.

Maevaris is a better example of how people can't change, since even in a world in which you could turn yourself into a dragon, a spider, a bird, and what have you, even with all the resources a Tevinter Magister could want, Maevaris only method of transitioning is growing his hair out, wearing dresses and make-up. That's all a woman is, hair, dresses, and make-up? Are those things intrinsically tied to being a woman? I'm sure right-wingers and their love for feminine women would agree.

But I do have sympathy for them, believe it or not. As someone who suffers from an eating disorder (to the point where I was both in the ICU and forcibly taken to the psychiatry because I was dying to get the body I was supposed to have in my mind) I know how it feels like avoiding looking in the mirror because you see something you don't want to see, to feel like your body is an enemy, that it's not truly yours. I know how it feels like when other people try to control what you can and cannot do with your body - how helpless and suicidal it makes you feel.

But in opposition to trans people, nobody encouraged me to lose even more weight, or that I was correct in seeing an obese person in the mirror when you could count my ribs.

That's how I feel about trans men and women. The sane ones know what sex they're born, accept their gender dysphoria, and are advocating against children transitioning. Believe it or not, I even have friends among those. Part of living half your live in therapy groups does mean you get to meet the most diverse people after all.

I support my friends, of course, especially since they're normal, quiet people who just want to integrate into society without making a fuss and most importantly: without being loud! I hate loud people. Or people who define themselves over an identity to the point where it overshadows anything else that person might be. Looking at Krem here, who wouldn't even be a footnote in the game if she wasn't trans.

And to your last question: I don't even consider myself a feminist, or anything of that sort. I don't want society to change, even if that would mean that I have it harder being autistic and such. I just wish everything would stay the same and there would not be any flashy people who stick out. Everybody should just be part of a homogenous mass, like a drop of water in the ocean if you'd like.

That's literally my biggest gripe with the modern trans movement. Look at me, here I am, look how I stick out with my brightly colored hair and clothes! Hear me scream and complain on every social media platform because I got misgendered one time and now I have to kill myself! Am I loud enough? Has anyone heard me?

Ditch that part of your movement and I might be more sympathetic . I guess.
