@spookyprime was thinkin’ up a storm about how to reincorporate Danny into canon and she came up with him leading the Kobra Kult and pretending to be evil but secretly telling Tim their plans so he can knock the cult members around a bit so they don’t try anything stupid again for a while.
The context for this specifically is that post-failsafe Tim probably needs a stress reliever. 😭

[ID: a doodle of hunter, willow, darius and gus from the owl house, set after Thanks to Them. Hunter is the focus in the foreground with willow and darius behind him. Gus is a small doodle in the background. Hunter looks off to the right with nervous brows and a small smile. Labeled with text next to him that reads: “doing alright, all things considered- knows who he is and what he wants, has clear goals (merk belos) & people who love him. Grieving but carrying flapjacks love with him. He will be okay and he knows this”. Behind him willow and darius are depicted shaking and covered in shadow with text labeling them “shivering with incandescent rage and fear”. The small doodle of gus is labeled “knows what you are”. End ID]
Ideal scenario for post-thanks to them character dynamics

Regarding Volo at the moment, but also in general with any hardcore villainized characters, I certainly get the sentiment behind wanting to not woobify antagonistic characters too much, but also like. I think for me, when the primary fandom take away is that a character is HARDCORE IRREDEEMABLE, NO GOOD QUALITIES IN THIS ONE!!! it’s almost like… an act of balancing out. Yes, I get Bad Man did Bad Things, I’m a person with a brain, but when it seems like EVERYONE is talking about how the Bad Man did Bad Things and needs to be, generally, physically harmed for the Bad He Did, it just feels like an act of balance to say,
“Okay but why don’t we explore this line where he said he’s experienced trauma before? And how he instantly backs away from talking about it under the explanation he gave himself that everyone must experience trauma to that degree?”
Or, “Hey, the guy has three friendship evolution Pokémon, two of which notably will leave their trainers if they don’t like them. Why do people extrapolate from that that he must be an abusive trainer?”
Or, gods fucking forbid, “Hey. Why is this character, who’s notably got indigenous roots to the setting, constantly being made the villain in angsty stories for the two white twins?”
Idk man, again I get not wanting to woobify too much, not wanting to strip a complex character of their complexity and the like, but if your takeaway is that any sympathetic or nuanced takes on a heavily villainized character is “woobifying,” like… idk, touch grass as the kids say. Who’s going to stop me, the Anti-Wooby Police?

The thing with me and Thee Prequel. Is that it frankly doesn’t deserve to exist in my opinion and so the only and I mean the ONLY capacity in which I even slightly personally care about it is in what I can steal from it for my personal canon. Which…. is really is only a step or two down from where I already am with spn itself. Like when it comes to my little self-indulgent rewrite project, spn canon is just a big long buffet table from which I’ve tried a bit of everything, despised most of it, and now I’m going back and picking out a few specific things I actually DID like for my takeaway box. So within that analogy, spn/win is like I turn around from the main buffet table and there’s another smaller buffet table where all the gluten-free options are. And I’m not allergic to gluten myself, I don’t NEED to eat gluten-free, I could easily ignore this entire table, but as I happen to pass by, well… if I notice something there that looks good, then there’s really no reason not to grab it and add it to my takeaway box, is there. That’s kind of my philosophy on that.
