there’s just something so delicious to me about the female no one expects and everyone underestimates innately wielding the magic of legendary, Cauldron-Made blades. that something in her power calls to them just as much as they call to her. both made and unmade.

#like calls to like #elain archeron #Cauldron-Made #she has done so many things innately #all to protect others

Thinking about the Chevalier interlude, specifically the inaugural team of Wards. Like in universe, they sell it to this first group of kids (and presumably the rest of the world) as a place for second chances, to find friends and mentors who understand what youre going through, where you can learn to use your powers safely while making good memories. The kids broadly seem to believe in these noble intentions of course, but what really gets me is that I've seen readers buy into it!

"Oh, it's such a tragedy that the Wards program became this awful thing that traumatizes kids even more, and expects them to die for the sake of civilians! It's fallen so short of what it was originally supposed to be!"

No it has not??? The fact that the triumvirate and Hero are saying it has this noble goal doesn't make it true. The Wards was pretty clearly always a way to increase the amount of bodies the prt could throw at threats, and we know this because it was started by the fucking Triumvirate as a part of the Protectorate! Alexandria literally came up with the idea of the Protectorate to legitimize the power of capes, and have a consistent source of heroes Cauldron could throw at problems. That is the whole reason for the PRT/Protectorate existing. So when we have this group of children brought in a subsidiary, there are 2 real options.

1). Cauldron and Alexandria decided they would be really niceys and created this program with no intentions other than helping these kids out.

Or 2). As things got worse, they realized the Protectorate didn't have enough manpower to do what they needed, and so they expanded it to include children (the demographic most prone to triggering). That way, they greatly increase the number of capes who they can send to fight and die as needed, and the ones who do survive their tenure in the Wards will be better trained when it comes time to join the actual Protectorate.

At the risk of sounding conceited, I think the second one is far more likely based on everything we know about Cauldron. Maybe it was originally a little nobler, and the goal was just to create more well trained heroes and cut back on young villains, but there's no way Alexandria, Doc Mom, and Contessa didn't factor in the ability to sacrifice the kid heroes if it improved their chances of success. That was absolutely a perk at minimum.

That's the real tragedy of the inaugural Wards. The kids were lured in with promises of safety, comraderie, and second chances like lambs to the slaughter. All the while, Alexandria and Cauldron knew that many (if not most) of these children would suffer abuse by the prt (like in the case of Reed), die, or face a fate worse than death like poor Mouse Protector. It's horrifying! The idea that they didn't know the danger these kids would be in is literally inconceivable. Especially when one of you is also the head of the prt! They knew, and they didn't care. It improved their chances at the end of the world, and so they did it no matter the cost.

#the same ppl will talk about Taylor being an unreliable narrator who we cannot trust #and then take Alexandria at face value #i think a lot of it is that this genre of guys very uncritically support and assume the best of authority figures #especially law enforcement #in a way that they just dont when it's a teenage girl who's never so much as glanced in the direction of a healthy coping mechanism #the great irony here being that fundamentally the prt/protectorate and Cauldron are all *also* being run by traumatized young women #and also that pretty much every negative opinion Taylor expresses abt the prt is 100% vindicated as the story goes on #genuinely baffled ppl can read Worm and be like 'Taylor's distrust of the prt was irrational'#it's the same energy as calling a woman hysterical #yes this *is* just me remembering the We've Got Worm podcast guys #they are my mortal enemies when it comes to wormposting #worm spoilers #worm #worm web serial #worm wildbow #parahumans

HL Incorrect Quote #96

Prof. Sharp: Well done on brewing the Draught of Living Death, Mr. Weasley.

Garreth: Thank you, Dad.

The class:

MC: Garreth, you just called Sharp "Dad".

Garreth: Oh... Well, I mean, I call Aunt Matilda that instead of "Professor".

Sebastian: But she's your actual aunt.

Leander: And Sharp is not your actual father.

Garreth:

Garreth: You guys won't let me forget this, will you?

MC: Never.

#raise your hand if you've accidentally called a teacher “mom” or “dad” 🖐#I thought it would be fun to have that scenario shown with these characters #I think sharp and garreth would become mentor and mentee #So long as garreth stops blowing cauldrons up lol #garreth weasley #leander prewett #sebastian sallow #hogwarts legacy mc #hogwarts legacy incorrect quotes #hogwarts legacy #hogwarts legacy headcanons

You know what's so funny to me? The amount of times I've mistaken E/riel art with Feysand...

Idc what people ship. They have the right to ship any characters with each other and I wouldn't bat an eye because its not my business but drawing Elain with Feyre's light blue starfall dress and Azriel in all black and blue glitter on their face?... Or Elain in CoN style dress with a crown and Azriel in a suit?

Yeah I don't care what you draw AT ALL but it all proves to me that you don't want anything unique with your ship...

Or you don't care about the description of the characters in the book and we're the one who get accused of character assassination. Interesting.

Honestly asking, don't you want something unique for your ship?

I was on Pinterest and I got so happy to see a new Feysand art just to realize its not them. And it took me 10 seconds to realise it because it was THAT similar.

I'm saying this again because I don't want to deal with people who says "people are entitled to draw anything they want" and you're right!! But it just very VERY telling...

I suppose its not your fault really... because Azriel is really a rough draft of Rhysand with all the shadows, which also Rhys has. Or how Feyre was bride of spring and bla bla bla

Like it's not your fault the aesthetic is there (kinda?) But I don't think sjm will do another ship with the same aesthetic just saying...

#I hate to say this #But they want a second feysand...#This is not just a one time thing #It's happened A LOT #Its like the whole argument about “we don't want them to be mates” “we don't want another mated couple”#But at the same time creating the theory about mother mate Cauldron mate and bla bla bla #And already believing them to be mates?#lmao please #like bffr #Everything you need to know about the characters are already in the book #Ignoring them and call others out for not ignoring them as well is just straight up hypocrisy #feysand #This is the first anti E/riel I've made?#But it's really not #Idk how many time I said this but the reason people start hating something #Is their fans behavior lol #At least this is the case with this fandom...#elucien #gwynriel

Bounty Boyfriends yippie! They’re the first redesigns/reimaginings of characters I’m cooking up for a personal au that I will share…. eventually. Anyways they’re partners in every sense of the word cuz I said so tehe

#sleet and dingo #sleet the wolf #dingo the…..dingo #I somewhat have a name for the au #something along the lines of sonic rebuild #or sonic archie rebuild because it takes place in my personal interp of the archie comics continuity #basically I just took underground fleetway and archie #dumped them in my cauldron mixing them together #then called it a day #if anyone is interested in knowing more by all means feel free to ask questions!#sonic redesign #sonic underground #sleet x dingo #my art

that moment when saga fights against the darkness in her mind place and opens the door to leave and it starts to pan out—showing nothing but stars just like the Night Springs intro before she appears in the dark place’s new york. Traversing the void in between worlds just like her dad. cinema!!

#it’s also creepy. the implication that the dark place is either this other world/entity or something between worlds #it’s huge and nothing but (possibly) was shaped through contact by Zane/alan/artists #I can’t remember exactly the words but that one manuscript with Alan’s scratched out edits #where he called Cauldron lake a black mirror #that just by looking at it you’d know it was ‘too late’#the mountain being the site of a caldera. as casey says the opening to hell #anyways it’s very existential and terrifying #alan wake 2 #saga anderson #ahhhghghhhhgghh I can’t stop thinking about the ending of this game #saga being an Anderson and a Door. being a seer and maybe even having the ability to traverse worlds.#door being everywhere and in between. all at once. fascinating #I don’t even know if this is the takeaway for that scene. the resemblance to night springs just intrigues me esp since the door manuscript #shows up right after this
