ok but im rly into the idea of till having a new era that brings the light back to his eyes and drives him forward if he gets to escape the arena. idk where he'd go from there but i want to see ivans sacrifice both haunt him and drive him to actually live his damn life after being the captured bird refusing freedom cause of mizi. once he knows she's alive with the resistance he might be able to actually experience other things and widen his world and if that happens and he puts his personal sense of rebellion towards the human cause OR settles into finding some other way to feel fulfilment that isn't a single person that could be deeply fascinating to me i think
if I had a nickel for every time I shipped a dark haired chaotic guy sometimes associated w snakes w a 'bad guy' vibe w a light color palate strict moral guy w a 'good guy' vibe and at some point have pretended to be eachother even going as far as changing physical form then I'd have three nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened three different times now
Imagine you family all was some feeder and they only got you to live out there kink fattening you from early life leaving you immobilized by the age of 15 but they don't stop there now your feedee childhood ended and your a feedee teen they make you drink so much weight gain shake that alone those calories could run 6 bodies of your size for a week but no you have to guzzle it down all alone at the age of 19 you have your first massive heart attack and you parents say it's just a little bit on the way to get you to a good size as you turn 21 you get booze on top of the weight gain shake what makes your bad feeling about this size go away the only bad feeling you now have is that you parents die before you at the age of 25 your finally getting your last heart attack your dad proudly put his hand on your shoulder and say "you did a great job my child you made it to die before the age of 30" as your eyes roll back and you head dropping back you hear in a already far distance your mom saying that she never feeled more proud raising a child like that
seen a lot of transfem link headcanons of all different kinds recently, which delights me bc blue link from thr four swords manga was my transgirl headcanon before i even fully understood what being trans was. shes everypony to me
I find it really fascinating how cult like fandom spaces are. Ones I've been in such as kylux, or ones I've observed from the outside like Sherlock, reylo, Dr who, our flag means death, and so on.
Echo chambers hyping each other up, feeling like only they truly understand a show/film/whatever, blindly copying what someone with the most followers says. Having a complete disconnect from reality and how people actually behave towards one another in society. Throwing around accusations, often false, but heinous in nature to try and manipulate others into doing what they want, or ostracising people for not following the status quo of the fandom.
And then a complete lack of self awareness that they are in this echo chamber, that they might try say that they're open minded and all that but they truly aren't when someone with a different view on the show comes along. Very much you can have your thoughts but don't dare share them and upset the nature of the echo chamber.
I've seen it with my own eyes on a private kylux discord where a perceived slight, truly only perceived as the person being spoken about did fuck all honestly, but how the group just went in circles again and again adding more shit onto this persons supposed fandom crimes which there just wasn't any evidence for. But enough people said it that it was true, and pointing out otherwise was not a good idea.
And also the complete lack of self awareness a fandom echo chamber with a history of doxxing and harassment when they look down and claim to be better than a different fandom, also with a history of doxxing and harassment.
We know fandoms are toxic as fuck but when people are in a fandom, being like Thai, they just lose all sense of credibility and go full on into the cult like mentality. It's just like the right wing conspiracy theorists types of people overthinking things and hyping one another on the most bullshit thoughts until everything thinks they're true - as of course what they're saying is true, everyone else around them is saying it. The one saying otherwise is just a hater.
