#but i personally like to think it was like he was reborn as just a kid and had to grow up again

[vvienne]

I literally woke up in the middle of the night like God will dark rise is so fucking screwed. The line that’s like. “Everyone wanted to kill the Dark King.” What’s the part where he looks at Violet helplessly, haunted, almost pleading for mercy? But of course he reveals nothing of substance to anyone. Elizabeth is too young to understand but the reader knows what “Her relationship with that boy was…unnatural” can mean. Tying him to bedposts? Failing to strangle him? What else? Never not even once seeing beyond a mythological identity Will himself didn’t know he had? What did he think was the reason? That he was just intrinsically hateful? Of course he says nothing. Of course Violet can’t trust him- he’s given her nothing as painfully real as what she’s given him. So he gives her the sword hoping at least he can die at the hands of someone he loved, but even that doesn’t work out - she gives the sword to a Visander still furious at SARCEAN. The pattern continues; no one looks at Will, who vomits when he realizes what’s happened to James, Will who is much of a liar and killer and sneak as Elizabeth accuses but nonetheless wants to be different. Even when he doesn’t remember his own past. There’s no way out for him that doesn’t hurt. Hope this obsession passes soon given the one and a half years of waiting required for book 3

#dark rise series #dark heir #rarely does a cliffhanger pain me so much #bc rarely am I ever THAT invested in a plot I am sad to say #nona the ninth was so cathartic in of itself I’m content marinating before alecto #BUT PACAT ONLY EVER GIVES EMOTIONAL CRUMBS #have any of these bitches ever known peace fr #maybe this is what reading princes gambit and not immediately having the follow up might’ve been like #honestly it’s possibly damen and Lauren just generally had less problems tho #more than his relationship even with James. will/Violet is perhaps the genuine source of like. I WISH HED GIVEN HER A REASON. #the narration that describes Violet as Will’s star in the night…….. like fuck fine #will can’t reach any level of genuine intimacy with James bc the mess of fraught noncon dynamics is this massive unspoken horrible thing #wills identity is personal w James in a way it is with no one else but James is so fucking oblivious of undercurrents it comes unbalanced #and will knows it. but (as far as we know) violet isn’t reborn has no history with sarcean the dark king she’s literallt just Some Guy #and that almost makes it worse???????? that they are so loyal to each other even as he’s keeping a massive secret? #they weren’t dated or destined to entangle the way will is w characters like James and Katherine #and I think that makes his rship with Violet possibly the realest and truest experience of trust and love will has ever had #like it’s nothing bro. truly she knows nothing about him other than his lies of omission and her faith in him goodness which may or may not #beiltimately justified. but that was probably as honest and close will ever got to anyone. and him to her.

what exactly is kisame kicking around doing in the reborn au? Or did I just miss this somewhere, i know hes friends with itachi somehow but like, what ELSE is he up to???

obito isn't around to fuck up kiri, so kisame stays and goes for his position as one of the seven swordsmen again. i don't think kisame is a Plan Guy so he's not going to go out of his way to make dramatic changes, but he might go into certain other pieces of Kiri Drama with a more firm sense of his own stance & what he could do about it.

i'm not actually 100% sure what was just The Shinobi System Is Fucked vs Obito Fucked It Up so I might change the details, but I can see Kisame assassinating Yagura earlier if a civil started or the bloodline elimination nonsense happened? so let's say the minute there were whispers of the civil war, kisame was like "lol no," did some assassinations, and threw in with mei. most higher-ups know what kisame did, but he has mei's support and between that and his own reputation, no questions him. mostly he's trying to be a good kiri-nin while also clinging to his personal ideals

(i briefly thought about mizukage!kisame, but i don't think he'd really go for it if someone else was available because, again, he's not really a Plan Guy. plus being mizukage gives him less time to be doing other stuff)

he runs into team 4 at their chunin exam! and he joins akatsuki as kiri's representative :)

#my personal feeling is that kiri should have been fucked up regardless of obito's interference #like obito made everything worse but i think it demeans his own motivations #if kiri being fucked up was all his doing vs something already happening that he just took advantage of #plus please just stop trying to boil down all human conflict in fiction to the actions of one bad guy??? #reborn au

okay but sam after dean dies really can NEVER go home :(

#thinking abt post finale sam being fucked up after everything that happened and him going thru with having an apple pie life and whatever #but he can never truly get over it and everyone can tell #and it becomes a whole thing. the most innocuous things will make him stop and think of dean and mourn again #and when he names his son dean jr everyone who knows is like ... 😬 are you sure about that name #and he project onto that kid SOOO MUCH and hes a good dad and hes patient and caring with him #but he also relies on him so much emotionally without realising it #he pulls a lot of ''its you and me against the world'' and ''youre the only person i can trust with this information'' type shit #without fully realising what hes doing. like thats his dean Reborn Baby doll and thats what he was like with dean so whats the problem #i also just like the idea of sam just being a. a good dad who doesnt do that. but i think the long con of thinking sams going to be the #normal one who breaks the cycle and ends up repeating it in such a specacular and emotionally manipulative fashion is also fun

idk if I'm going to ever write for it so I'm gonna put it here, my reborn Yatagarasu AU. I guess if I get a little encouragement I'll want to write it more but I have to get some thoughts out or I will explode.

It started because I thought Beanix and Kay should meet and do crimes together. I think they should fight corruption and be overly dramatic while annoying Edgeworth. I mean, think about it, in the first game, Phoenix's whole thing was exposing notorious blackmailers and corrupted officials and generally being unafraid of facing mob families when everyone else is kinda scared to take any action.

before the cut to so much rambling, I need to get one question out of the way so...

anyway, lore below, I just didn't want to put that under the cut where no one will read far enough to see it lol

That and he also has experience with eccentric thieves. Also, they're both named after mythical birds and named specifically to be silly with their dialogue ('Mr. Wright, right?' "Kay 'kay?'). I also just want a reason for them to pose as father and daughter and be able to pull it off perfectly.

Now for actual plot stuff, I am of the opinion that Phoenix has acquired some weird-ass skills that he uses in weird-ass ways, I mean in canon he has a talent for bluffing and he uses it to absolutely dominate at poker. So I'm thinking this guy, who hasn't risked his life in over a year, fresh out of leads to fight the case with his disbarment, needs enrichment. This comes in the form of Kay investigating him out of interest as his role of 'that man' and discovering that he's pretty neat actually. She looks at his case files and finds him silly enough to recruit for a new project.

The re-emergence of the Yatagarasu is directly correlated to the dark age of the law and the increasing corruption practically everywhere. The law makers and law keepers of Japalifornia ignore the truth for their own self interest and that is Not Good. Kay recruits Ema, who is interning at the police department and on her way to becoming a detective turned forensic investigator. She is also stem girl extraordinaire who wants to use her tech for good and not to help the police. Funded by Franziska (because the best use of Manfred's fuck you money is actively fighting the corruption he was a part of) the Yatagarasu plan to expose as much corporate and legal filth as possible. Because to build a new legal system, the other one must be destroyed a bit.

In comes Phoenix, who through past cases and his work at the Borsht Bowl, just happens to have a pretty good amount of criminal connections. He's inconspicuous, already kind of undercover, and he knows how to get people to talk. He's disillusioned with the law and settled into a character that requires him to convincingly act at all times. Also his daughter is a magician and I think it would be really funny for him to learn a little sleight of hand and how to use throwing knives only for him to turn around and use those skills for Crime.

In return for info and his help with the Yatagarasu project, Phoenix gets more assistance in his investigation into Kristoph, which makes it easier to keep him and Trucy safe. Also in this AU Kristoph is worse and more invasive and more willing to cause problems if he catches Phoenix learning too much. Every one of their shared dinners consists of Kris poisoning Phoenix's wine and them switching it until they're both confused and Phoenix ends up drinking it but survives anyway.

Another part of this AU that I would want to touch upon would be Phoenix's reputation outside of being a fallen famous lawyer. I think that his work getting multiple mob members, prosecutors, a police chief, and generally terrifyingly powerful people incarcerated would get him noticed by people. I like to think that he's trying his best to look pathetic and depressed but the whispers around him make him sound kind of terrifying and it's only because of that that he feels secure enough to take Trucy along with him to the bowl for poker matches. He also is trying to learn her perceiving power, which he can't do but he does get really good at silently communicating with Trucy to the point that they become a kind of terrifying duo.

I just... weird girl crime group (Maya is not allowed, she'll just get falsely accused of murder again)

#this is all just an elaborate plot to get Phoenix to pretend to be Kay's parent so they can commit fraud #it's already canon that phoenix only cares about the crime of murder #he thinks thievery is a fun crime just as long as no one gets died #his sister got her culturally and personally important urn stolen and he was like 'lol funney masked man' #he appreciates the theatrics of the filler cases #i mean seriously they're all at a tv studio and a circus and with a dramatic heist #he can appreciate a good performance #Yatagarasu Reborn AU #Fem!Phoenix AU #phoenix wright #ace attorney #kay faraday #ema skye #pwaa #i hope this made sense i kinda just put words here

endlessly curious to know how things play out between Alex and the kid on the train at the end of the film. the implication seems to be that Alex (or I guess Jack at this point in time) has now taken up the role that Nigel previously held, and is looking to essentially 'recruit' others to their cause; the sticking point for me is that Nigel specifically picked Alex because of the bloodlines that could be traced back to the original Templers, whereas Alex meeting this kid was just happenstance

#sorry kid but i think more likely than not you're gonna get got by the unhinged red-head cutie #and his murderous psycho boyfriend that now lives rent free in his mind #'you want me to study history? the thing that got nigel and this random kid on the train killed?' #GREG answer the phone Greg. if i cant have a sequel then i want answers #come on u could give me a sequel. older alex. who just happens to run into someone that looks EXACTLY like nigel .. #could just be some random individual. could be nigel reborn. either way alex is OBSESSED y'know? #and now it's alex's turn to get into HIS head. take over his mind. #if it isnt nigel reborn than by gohd alex will twist this guys thoughts around until he makes him into the person he wants him to be #anyway i gotta walk the dog this was a weird little tangent to go on #like minds #murderous intent #nigel colbie #alex forbes

Tales of Suspense (1959) #92

#I like the perspective that Captain America is the one that’s really alive because he has a purpose #whereas Steve is a ‘hollow shell’ because he lacks a ‘real life’ or purpose #the specification that Steve lacks of wife really stands out #I think because I’m used to that being left as just being referred to vaguely as ‘loved ones’ or similar #though the order of the sentence- ‘/other/ men have friends- wives- /loved ones!/- really puts the emphasis on the general term #referring to Steve’s all-encompassing lack #at first I thought maybe Steve’s account here was unreliable #and that he does have people who would spend time with him- as shown in the previously posted panels #but it really doesn’t seem that even now that they spend time together outside of Avengers work and training #of course during the first team I was really struck by how much the Avengers didn’t come across as friends #which was compounded by that they strictly maintained their secret identities and weren’t allowed to ask each other personal questions #with Steve standing out because they all knew who he was while he didn’t know who they were #they’re not maintaining that for this team but they’re still not hanging out outside of being Avengers #also the phrasing that Sharon is ‘like my first love- as though she had been- reborn’ is making me think for the first time #beyond the physical similarities #because at first Steve really did not know her so that’s all he had to go by #but now they’ve interacted a little bit more #so he could be thinking (or imagining) that their demeanors are similar too #and the end of this story Nick talks about how he knows how much Steve cares about Sharon #while jokingly referring to her as Steve’s ‘girl friend’ #that Steve talks around referring to her by name is awkward but it’s because he doesn’t know it #that Nick talks around it is weird because he has to know it so it’s like he’s purposely keeping that knowledge from Steve #though he’s using Steve’s feelings for Sharon to recruit him for a mission to help her #marvel #steve rogers #my posts #comic panels

The funniest thing about Rhaegar Targaryen is that he's the most realistic isekai I've ever seen.

#song of ice and fire #game of thrones #rhaegar targaryen #look from what little we know of him he fits the bill #a kid that gets no joy from playing with other kids? #well yeah if you were just suddenly punted into the body of a child with a fully adult brain playing with kids wouldn't interest you either #only reading books? #sounds like a modern person that got stuck in medieval times and is bored as all hell #suddenly decides he must become a knight after reading about a prophecy? #with all the media knowledge you'd have you too would think that that is why you were reborn as well #no one gets isekaid for no reason #there's also other stuff #but most of it would fall on belief of plot armor #am i saying rhaegar is canon isekai? #no #but it is funny to think about

okay, ngl, i feel weird about Fern in the post-game

#pkmn reborn #........................i talk a lot in the tags so feel free to ignore #........................................................................................................................... #when i heard people mention his ''redemption arc''. mostly saying that it was rushed or out of nowhere #i was rather scared because i expected a weird rushed ''face-heel turn'' like Bennett #and now...i wouldn't said it's rushed...but i get the others points #there is st missing here. #personally. it's the other characters reactions #no one say anything about him other than Florinia #it sorta like with Cain. more characters should have reacted st to his return but only his sister did. #like. at this point. most of our cast must have known about Fern's coperation with team Meteor. right? #at least. Titania/Hardy/Randomus/Aya and Sapphira directly seeing him with the team #they should have mentioned st about Fern. like ''being regretful about his choices'' or just..the guy seem different than before #like. MC gone for few months after the champion fights. so sure. of course. we would be confused at Fern's development #but that means other characters must have seen how he changed? like. maybe just slightly #so like. someone like Adrienn could mention that ''hey. that kid Fern also help out. florinia did tell me about the whole Victory stuffs- #as long as he continue to assist us. I think he deserve a chance'' #or like...freaking Titania. who literally scarred his face. would say st about Fern's appearance in the nightclub? #like just general about how she dislike him but still express appreciation for his development #''kid is still an ass tho'' #personally. if the story include the others positive reactions to Fern. i wouldn't think it too rushed

i dont wanna sound like a person thats like “if a character is mean then theyre written poorly” but truly what makes or breaks a villain to me is whether or not youre supposed to find them complex and well intentioned deep down and they obviously arent

#idk what it is abt dr connal from reborn tbh bc like. TECHNICALLY the game doesnt try to say he was a well meaning person #or that his tragic backstory inherently means he was good deep down or anything #i think part of what ruins him is just his entire character just being made up for shock value and depth was forced on him out of nowhere #and also that multiple characters use him as a way to say ''uwu everyone deserves forgiveness and trust no one deserves what he went through #i mean like. i LIKE vengeful villains. i like characters who are evil out of revenge or pettiness #and have vicious acts of evil that solidify them as an antagonist #and yes i do like villains that are well intentioned deep down and arent just static villains who were born evil or something #but like... idk connal doesnt feel like that he feels like a character that youre meant to find compelling and tragic even if hes a villain #but bc hes a literal child abuser who is heavily implied to have SA'd one of his child victims all attempts to paint him as tragic are hollo #really reborn overall is a game that desperately wants to portray itself as deep and complex and mature #but in actuality is just pretentious and shallow with a moral that aligns itself more withgoddamn barney the dinosaur #which is ''uwu everyone deserves forgiveness and youre mean if you don't forgive. everyone was just sad!'' #echoed voice #sorry for the reborn posts. eve is replaying it so its on the mind

literally on my hands and knees outside of nintendo offices begging for more ganondorf content. literally what is going on with him there is so much potential. can we also see ghirahim again i liked him

right oh my god like. they made ganondorf into someone im so mentally ill about and then they refuse to actually physically show him in games anymore. this guy has so much going on about him? nintendo i am literally begging uu

#myposts #ask #also ive been thinking about a game where he gets reborn like link and zelda #and comes back as a supporting character for link and like. is actually a good person #who has to deal with people vilifying him bc hes ganondorf yk and also like maybe struggles to fight an older incarnation of ganondorf #the same way link sees an older reincarnation of himself in twilight princess? #Also he could just come back as the villain idc i just want him back :(

anonymous said : I see! Thank you for that explanation, I hope it’s not an uncomfortable topic for you? I’ve seen many species have different definitions and understanding of how romantic and sexual orientations work, I assume the Vidyadhara are no different in that aspect? As in there is attraction to no one, everyone, only the same gender, only the opposite gender, and so forth? Since the Aeons themselves are referred to by neutral pronouns the majority of the time, I don’t imagine they would have an issue with it. Especially given many of them were likely mortal at one point. As for the Luofu… is it an… open minded place, in terms of who one can love?

Uselessly reminding you that these things are all canon in TOTK:

- Riju is super short for a gerudo her age, but still way taller than Link

- Link has a pet koi fish (or multipul depending on how many pools you put in your dream home)

- Being able to name the piss horse golden horse implies that Zelda had not given it a name yet. Perhaps because she’s a perfectionist and must think of the perfect name, or because she rescued the horse very recently before totk, but fell in love with it so quickly that she just had to have a picture of it in her house.

- The amount (and quality) of paintings done by Princess Zelda points towards her being very artistically talented, which is not something shown in botw. Perhaps this is a sign of her feeling more free and comfortable to be herself.

- Link has 8 ear piercings in total

- Link is still very short, but, it’s easier to see his muscle definition than in botw, meaning he did actually grow like a normal person just not… vertically.

- In the original Japanese text, Zelda calls the Hateno house “the house” instead of “my house” 👀

-The elemental armor headgear will allow you to dye Link’s hair at the dye shop.

- Originally, I thought Link could see the koroks in botw because he was only 17, and that koroks sorta worked like the picori, in that only kids could see them. However, he can still see them in his 20s. So, the games could be implying that he sees them because he was raised as one of them in a past life, and that part of his soul is still connected to the forest.

- The game likely takes place around 5-6 years after botw, because there are quite a lot of new child NPCs, none of which look or act young enough to be considered toddlers.

huge spoilers under the cut

- Link was canonically a furry zonai in a past life, but he’s noticeably less humanoid than Rauru or Mineru. Link has a tail, digitigrade legs, and even dew claws. Meanwhile, Rauru and Sonia have no tails and are plantigrade. This makes me wonder if zonai started intermarrying with mortals long before Rauru met Sonia, which could account for the more human-like traits.

- Link being a zonai at one point finally makes it 100% canon that Link does not need to be reborn as a hylian. It is entirely possible that he could have been a gerudo at some point, or may even be one in a future game.

Dcxdp #22

Danny's human half dying as collateral during a fight. That human half goes into reincarnation and is reborn as Damian Wayne. He isn't born with all of his memories but he definitely feels that something is wrong. they would get their Memories Back at about 8 and have a horrible time dealing with being an assassin. Danny would try to stick to the personality they already had before but there's definitely slip-ups of them being like yeah this is wrong and Talia thinks they take after their father because of it. 

The first thing Danny does when they're not being monitored by their mom or the bat family is to look for Phantom. Phantom to have run away to the ghost Zone and has built a reputation as a merciless ruler. He's a good ruler and he's not a tyrant but  he doesn't have the reputation of kindness. Damien as the moral compass of the duo is really funny to me.

 There's a situation later that involves ghosts which is where Danny/Damian and Phantom meet again. I want there to be a very big misunderstanding that heroes think Phantom is obsessed with Damien but in reality they are literally other halves of a soul. Phantom keeps doing and saying things that no one else would get away with around Damien. Phantom would be saying things like making fun of his height or giving him nicknames but as far as anyone else sees Damian doesn't even flinch.

Danny/Damian and Phantom have lived Separate Lives for a while so they don't automatically fuse into one person. I think they would fuse for a few hours just to feel themselves be one Soul again but they have Separate Lives so they can't stay that way. The bat family is very concerned with Damien continuing to talk to the obsessive ghost that keeps possessing his body.
