Fair warning, I am absolutely going to gatekeep Jane Foster. I was fine when Wanda gained such a huge fanbase post-WandaVision because she was so underserved by the plot before, so having been a fan since 2014/15 (whenever they announced the twins being in AoU and we started getting behind-the-scenes promo) it’s great to see her being so popular now. It’s just people seeing how awesome she’s been all along. But no, you do not get to come in and say you love Jane now that she’s Thor/has powers if you’re also a person who has ignored her existence for years or said that she’s boring and useless and “not Thor’s equal” because she can’t fight.

This includes Feige and Waititi and their stupid sexist comments, women (or any people!) don’t have to be physical fighters to be badass. Jane has been badass and amazing the entire time because she’s an astrophysicist and loves science and is endlessly curious. Those are the traits that A. got her a Nobel prize, B. let her help save the world with science, C. are the reasons Thor fell in love with her in the first place.

I absolutely love Jane as Thor in comics, but the reason she’s so incredible is not because she fights her enemies with the powers of a god, but because she does that while being human. That is quite literally the entire point of her story.

#this post brought to you by that new still of val and jane without her helmet #which has made me worried that jane is going to be thor for the entire movie & we’re just never going to see human astrophysicist jane again #I will fucking fight waititi if he ruins jane with this movie #he already ruined thor for me; he doesn’t get to pull any of this ‘soft reboot’ nonsense on jane #if she’s thor for the whole movie and just randomly taking her helmet off so they get credit for it being jane i’m going to be furious #the only time jane took her helmet off in comics was when she was ACTIVELY DYING #there are bts pictures of jane in norway in what is probably the scene where she becomes thor #but every single piece of material we have aside from that is jane as thor #randomly sans helmet in everything but the teaser shot and posters #I know it’s early but after r*gnarok I don’t trust waititi as far as i can throw him #(and. i can’t throw him.)#whoops accidental rant #i’m just really angry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#jane foster #thor 4 #a rare text post appears #anti taika waititi #anti kevin feige #my stuff

one of my roommates and I haven’t been talking for weeks after they blew up about something and then I didn’t deescalate and I finally addressed it with my other roommate as a sorry you’re in this situation and I feel vindicated he says it wasn’t my fault

#I don’t know why I’m being vague they suddenly got angry one night about being the only one cleaning up #when I’ve been having issues with messiness from them for months (corroborated by friends who had seen the apartment then)#I just said they weren’t perfect either and then they stormed off and we haven’t really talked since \_(ツ)_/¯#so. there’s that.#I’m not renewing my lease

This will be more of a vent post than it is a critique or review. It’s just something I personally find so agitating and I wanted to talk about it to just get the feelings of my chest.

I hate. And I mean hate. That they named her “Vaggie”

More below cut/includes slight spoilers from released content and leaked audition sheets.

I just. And please keep in mind that this is all my personal opinion and you’re allowed to think whatever you want. You can love her name and think it’s the most creative beautiful name in the world and that’s fine. That’s your opinion, and that’s great!!

But this is my opinion—V’s name isn’t funny. It’s not creative or clever.

It comes off as trying to be “edgy” or daring, but it just flops. And it’s incredibly frustrating to be sapphic (I’m a lesbian) and to see one of only TWO sapphic characters be literally named after “female” genitalia.

And I wondered for a while if I was just being weirdly picky about this, but if this leak turns out to be real (and I am PRAYING it’s not):

Then the exterminators, a seemingly entire female group, are named after genitalia. Like. Why? What is the point of having a group of characters being named after genitals??

I have a hard time describing why this makes me so angry and makes me feel so disrespected. I think it’s because:

1. Whether intentional or not, it comes off as reducing women characters to their genitalia.

2. It’s reducing a sapphic (possibly lesbian, but never confirmed) character to her genitals. Again, whether or not this is intended, the writers have made it so that everyone who hears these characters names immediately thinks “oh like Vagina”. This is even a joke in the prequel comics:

And the FIRST EPISODE:

Apparently the original character that V is based on was actually named “Vagina” just straight up. Oh but they used a Y. Because. That really makes it unique a cool. (Being sarcastic)

3. Again. I don’t care if this was the intent or not. But it feels just so so reductive to name a whole GROUP of women characters after different female genital parts. It’s just disrespectful. And again, I don’t think it was meant to be this—but it just? It’s so reductive and just stupid.

Like. I also want to make it clear that I’d be saying the SAME thing as I am now if it was a male character named “Penissy” or “Scrothomas” or some stupid shit. If Angel Dust’s name was like… “Tainty” or “Schlong” or something I would also be frustrated and upset.

Because that would be the same thing. A gay man character reduced to his genitals. Anyway this is done, it’s disrespectful and feels gross and reductive to me.

But I don’t know what I expected because this is the same writing team that thinks a character referring to himself as “The Dickmaster” and saying “dick” 600 times in a row is peak comedy writing. Ugh.

Again, I’m sorry this is more a personal vent than any sort of review or critique. I’m genuinely hoping that the Lute audition sheet is not anything that will show up in the show, and that Clitorissa and Labianne will never see the light of day. It’s just.

It’s not funny. It’s stupid, and annoying, and I hate it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And V deserved to be called by a real name, not a edgy unfunny punchline.

#funhouse convo #media criticism #media critique #hazbin hotel critical #hazbin hotel critique #helluva boss critical #also no it being short for vagatha doesn’t make it better #it just makes me sad because I like v #I like her a lot she’s one of my fav characters #but she’s treated like a boring joke all the time #and she doesn’t even have a real name #I hate it #it’s just misogynistic

cod incorrect quotes #8

I went through old stuff I wrote and found a cute one-shot I wrote for Tim Drake (Red Robin) that never got to see the light of day and I lowkey feel bad for it. At the same time, it's from 2018 and I feel unsure about publishing it. I just don't write much anymore and it makes me big sad. I am trying to be nicer to myself about writing though. Love y'all ♡

the usual jazz, mainly Y/N/Reader stuff, platonic and romantic. A sprinkle of Soapghost & Alerudy ♡♡♡

Reverse Robins AU - Outline

Sorry but this is a long one and a sum of my current ideas. A lot has changed from my first post.

Batman = Battinson or Brucie (either way Bruce is a good if not mid dad because I said so and I get to decide)

Damian starts off with the League until the recently formed Justice League makes a move against them. The mission is barely successful and Damian gets hit in the crossfire. The JL is horrified that the League would have a kid there and they take him to be fixed up. DNA tests are run to figure out who this kid’s parents are and they learn he’s Bruce and Talia’s son. Bruce has to step up and be a father for this small, violent, traumatized child and does so by letting him be his sidekick. Damian decides to go by Nighthawk. Eventually Dami wants to become his own hero and he becomes JadeWing. When Batman dies he takes up the cowl as a sense of duty but is seen constantly shirking his responsibilities.

Duke (he does not have meta powers) sees that Riddler has control of the city so he decides to study up on riddles to free them. This is how he meets Bruce for the first time. Duke’s parents have recently been jokerified and Bruce feels bad because he should have defeated Joker ages ago. Bruce decides to foster Duke until he grows close to the boy and adopts him. Bruce lets him be Nighthawk which angers Dami and Dami tries to kill him. Joker kidnaps his parents and Duke dies. He comes back to life to find out he’s been replaced and Joker is still around so he becomes Blue Veil. (I need more suggestions to flesh this out more.)

Cass had recently met Dami when the JL attacked the League base. She had become very protective of the boy and she snuck on Diana’s invisible jet to make sure he was taken care of. Once she realized he was safe, she tried to leave but she had nowhere to go and ended up roaming Gotham’s streets until she was put into the foster system. She ends up running into Nighthawk and sees him perform a move only Damian knew how to do (using katannas of course) and she figures out their secret identities. Damian dies and Duke leaves so Bruce becomes more violent. Cass hates this so she steals the Nighthawk costume and just shows up to a fight that Batman’s losing. Bruce is appalled by this and tries to get rid of her but she just keeps on showing up. Eventually Cass is made Nighthawk and later adopted. Duke shows up and is upset that he was replaced but he’s not angry at Cass so he really just breaks in (I don’t know where he’s breaking into because I have yet to do my superhero team research. I am begging for an assist). They end up having a heart to heart. Bruce dies (gets lost in the time stream???) and Cass tries to convince Damian to search for him but Damian quits being a hero altogether during this time. Cass single handedly brings Bruce back and stays nighthawk until Spoiler starts showing up. Cass feels betrayed by her family since they didn’t believe her about Bruce but she’s also concerned they just didn’t understand her. She decides to seek help to be fluent in more than body language. (It might be unrealistic that she never picked up English since she was only five years old at the time she left the League but I’m struggling. Either cut me some slack or offer me a solution at this point. Also this reason for her abandoning nighthawk doesn’t seem to fit well so please help.) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, she ends up returning as Nightingale (for now because I do want to expand on this. She will end up becoming her own separate hero.)

Tim has been stalking the vigilantes for a while. He figured out their secret identities because he followed them back to the cave and hacked his way into not being picked up by scanners and not setting off the boundary alarm (RIP quadruple flip or whatever it was). A couple years later he finds out his parents run one of the largest child trafficking rings in the world. He tells Batman and Janet and Jake lose all of their work and are supposed to go to jail (they're not insane so not to Arkham) but they pay their way out of it. They trace a call Tim made to the Oracle hotline and he gets beaten near death because of it. Tim realizes Batman will never truly defeat his parents as they were already rebuilding their empire. Tim becomes Spoiler (I am in desperate need of a better name) to spoil his parents’ nefarious plans. Batman only sees Tim as the spoiled kid from next door. A rich kid with a cushy life that’s trying to play at being a hero. Batman tries to tell Tim he’s not allowed to fight. Tim says he’s going to fight anyway so Batman decides to make him Nighthawk and train him while Cass is gone. Tim’s father finds out that Tim is Nighthawk so he kills him. Or did he? Tim is not dead but was recovering far away from his father. When he comes back to Gotham he tries to kill his parents. Steph understands his anger and offers to train him to be batlad. Eventually Tim does kill his parents and he abandons batlad for his own anti-hero persona (currently unnamed).

Steph (I know that canonically she is the C-list villain Cluemasters child but that’s not going to work here partially because it’s not angsty enough) is the Joker and Harley’s child but Harley put her up for adoption. Somehow (please give me ideas for how) the Joker finds out that Steph is his kid so he, in a stroke of genius rather unlike him (possibly someone else's idea???), he hires some thugs to kidnap her and make it look like a random kidnapping gone wrong (as in fake her death). He sends her off to learn how to fight as well as Batman but also to keep Harley from knowing about her. She grew up with villains but the Joker only visited occasionally. Joker thought Batman was too concerned with the Penguin and thought that Bruce ought to be paying him more attention so he decided to test out Steph by sending her to kill Penguin. Steph succeeds but she is so disgusted by what she did that she runs away and Joker isn’t able to find her (again I could really use reasons why). Joker decides to draw her out by threatening to kill Commissioner Gordon. Joker decides to kill two birds with one stone by having Batman bring Steph to him. Steph saves Gordon’s life so Oracle and Batman decide to make her Batgirl.(I need ideas for a big reveal where Steph realizes Bruce is Batman.) After Batman dies Steph slowly distances herself from being Batgirl and focuses more on trying to meet her bio mom and getting back with the Browns (her adoptive family). Steph decided to pass the title on to Tim (as batboy or batlad) so he’d be taken more seriously by the bats. She finds out her adoptive father, Arthur Brown, is Cluemaster so she runs away and decides to become Black Bat. She uses this name until Joker is killed (by Duke or a joint effort. She finally settles on the name Orphan.

Jason discovers he’s a meta at age 10. He decides to hide this information because his dad is desperate to save Catherine from cancer but he can’t afford chemo. (I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me more about Jason’s parents.) Jason’s worried his dad would use him to aid his goon life. Catherine dies and Willis becomes a raging drunk to cope with the loss. Willis neglects his work for two-face so he’s killed. Cue tiny tire thief Jason. Batman finds out Jason is an orphan and he means to adopt him but he dies before that can happen. Jason joins We Are Nighthawk to help the city and escape Sheila. Sheila wants the Joker to leave her alone so she tells him about her meta son (I don’t know how she knows). The Joker wants to make Jason his Joker Junior. We Are Nighthawk offers both family and protection for Jason. When Bruce comes back he doesn’t want to be Batman anymore but a talk with Jason convinced him otherwise. Bruce then adopts Jason who decides he doesn’t want to be Nighthawk. He becomes Daybreak (unless someone gives me a different idea for his meta powers).

Dick’s parents’ die and he decides to go after Tony Zucco. Bruce was not there the night of their death. Instead he runs into Dick while he’s on the hunt for Zucco. Bruce decides to adopt Dick and help him move on from his revenge. (I can’t decide if I want Dick to kill Zucco anyway or not.) Dick ends up becoming Nighthawk.

Also if you can't tell I am desperate for help so please answer my many questions in the comments.

Covered in You | b.b. | 3

Bucky Barnes x superpowered!fem!reader

He wants what’s only yours

Word Count: 2k

Warnings: jealous Bucky, but otherwise nada

Author’s Note: I skipped a weird slot of time because I thought of a fun idea so this is more of an anthology than a series sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Series Masterlist | Talk to Me!

“Just…just text her, tell her to expect a phone call,” Bucky ordered as the officers escorted him to the cruiser.

Sam stood helpless for a moment, bewildered by both the request and Bucky’s lack of concern for being arrested. It’s not that Bucky wanted her involved; life was going back to normal for her. She didn’t need to get wrapped up in this. But he was certain that she would panic if he missed their Friday night ritual of Netflix and dinner. And her panic would result in her getting involved anyway —so it was best if she was at least warned.

With a frustrated breath, Sam shot her a text before making his way to the precinct to deal with the mess.

Turns out, the three hour drive from Brooklyn to Baltimore was just enough time for her to get to the station just as Bucky was being released. Sam was standing at the counter with Dr. Raynor and Walker, who were quietly talking amongst each other. But Bucky was annoyed, disinterested in interacting with any of them as he beelined for the front door.

However, just as he reached for the handle, the door swung open and there she was, colliding with him. Bucky was caught off guard but shot his hands out to grab her shoulders so she wouldn’t fall back. The commotion caught the attention of the three at the counter, who all turned to see Bucky holding a very angry young woman.

“What is wrong with you!” She whisper-yelled at him. Bucky felt embarrassment creeping up his neck, and pushed her back out the front doors of the precinct.

“What are you doing here?” He demanded, holding her by the upper arm as he pulled her towards the side of the building. “I told you —it was fine, I had it handled —,”

“You got arrested, of course I’m here,,” she reminded him, trying to pull her arm from his grasp. “Let me go.”

“No,” he responded, voice soft but stern as he glared down at her. “I told you to stay home; that I would be back soon.”

“If you don’t let me go, I will make you let go.”

He should have believed her. Bucky should have dropped his grip on her arm the moment she asked, but he was angry and embarrassed. However, he should have known better than to push her —she was an Avenger long before he had met her. There was a reason for that.

Hence why he should have believed her. Because before he could get another frustrated comment out, the bushes outside the building wrapped around his arm and yanked him backwards. The roots pried his fingers off her arm then pinned his hands behind his back.

Bucky looked confused for a moment before he realized what she had done.

What he had made her do.

“I’m sorry,” he admitted. And he meant it. “I’m sorry. I-I…I shouldn’t have grabbed you —yelled at you. Any of it.”

“No, you shouldn’t have.”

The branches relinquished their grip on him, freeing his hands before returning to their normal shape against the wall. She crossed her arms over her chest, looking down at her feet for a moment. Bucky felt his throat close up for a moment, worried he pushed her too far this time.

“I’m really sorry —,”

“Why did you skip therapy?” She interrupted, looking up at him. Her brow was furrowed, confused and concerned as she stared up at him with curious eyes. “You said you were doing good. Were you lying?”

“No,” he quickly promised, taking half a step towards her. She didn’t step back. “No, I was doing fine. But I got caught up the last couple days. Something happened, and I just —I forgot.”

“You forgot to go to court mandated therapy,” she repeated, sounding unconvinced. “What have you been doing?”

Bucky stared her down for a moment, thinking back on what he had been telling her all week. He hadn’t lied necessarily. He may have omitted details but he hadn’t lied to her. Not outright.

“I went out of town. With Sam.”

She watched him with narrowed eyes, about to call him out when Walker and Sam walked out. She turned at the sound of a familiar voice, but made an obvious sound of displeasure upon seeing Walker and the shield on his back. However, the blonde man simply smiled charmingly, extending his hand.

“Wisteria —an honor to meet you. John Walker; Captain America.”

His comment, using her once alias, caught her off guard. It had been a long time since anyone used it; it was never needed after Sokkovia.

She looked up at Walker for a moment, confusion flashing across her features as she slowly took his hand. However, she corrected him quietly, giving her actual name over her alias.

“You are just as pretty in person as you are on tv,” Walker continued, smiling at her still.

“Oh, thank you —,”

“I’d like to leave,” Bucky snapped, stepping in front of her now to make space between her and Walker. “We have things to do.”

“And we would get them done faster if we worked together,” Walker insisted.

“What exactly do we need to get done?” She asked, peering up at Bucky with her brow raised.

“Nothing —,”

“Stopping terrorists —,”

Bucky and Walker spoke over one another, both giving each other dirty looks. Sam groaned in response, running a hand over his face.

“We need to get you home before we do anything,” Bucky insisted, wrapping an arm around her shoulders now to steer her towards her car.

While it wasn’t the first time he had done so, it was the first time he’d done it so brazenly in public. Bucky was not a PDA kind of man.

“Oh no, no, no,” she argued, ducking out of his hold and stepping away from him. “Whatever you’re doing —I’m coming with you.”

“Absolutely not.”

“Why the heck not? I’m still a superhero. Or did you forget already?” She waved her fingers some, the bushes slowly inching towards him again. “I just drove three hours to bail you out of jail. You think I’m going to let you run off to get yourself into trouble without me? I’m coming with you, Buck.”

Bucky eyed her for a moment, hesitating in his next move. But he knew she wouldn’t take no for an answer.

She never did.

“Dammit, fine, okay. Just —give me your car keys.”

She let out an excited little sound, clapping her hands together, then fished her keys out of her bag and tossed them to him. Bucky huffed in annoyance, shoving passed Walker. Sam followed close behind the two, watching her return to the usual bubbly self he knew.

She slipped into the front seat, instinctively moving her seat up to give room for Sam, who slid behind her. Bucky glanced at her, shaking his head as he got in and turned the engine over. He watched her from his peripheral as she turned to lean against the door, talking to Sam about what was happening and how she could help.

Bucky didn’t want her involved. He wanted her to go home, go back to the library. He wanted her to be normal, and safe.

Was that too much to ask for?

*****

Her laugh was…not a humored one. It was painfully forced, sarcastic as she clutched her heart. Bucky stood there awkwardly as Sam shifted foot to foot. Behind them, approaching with far more confidence than he should have, was Helmut Zemo.

“Oh my god,” she finally breathed out, falling against the wall. Her laughter faded out, turning into mild horror as she caught the Baron’s eye. “Oh my god you weren’t lying. You broke Zemo out of prison.”

“It is lovely to see you too, květ,” Zemo greeted, looking at her with a far too friendly smile.

“Don’t call her that,” Bucky ground out, giving the criminal a dirty look as he stepped in front of Zemo’s line of sight.

“Can I not greet the person I will be working with? I assume she is here to help, otherwise I must wonder why such a lovely woman is here with the two of you.”

As Bucky opened his mouth to argue, she peeked out from behind him, giving Zemo a tired but civil smile. May as well make the best of a bad deal, as far as she was concerned.

“I am here to help,” she confirmed, earning an annoyed grunt from Bucky as she stepped around him. “Though I don’t know how you can help.”

“You wound me, květ,” Zemo chuckled, putting his hand over his heart. “Besides being incredibly knowledgeable in the serum, I am also wonderful company to keep.” He reached out, extending his hand to her. She took it hesitantly, though he pulled it close to press a kiss to her knuckles. “Besides, I am quite sure you will get more conversation from me than the soldat.”

Before Bucky could make a move, she yanked her hand away from him, frowning —repeating what he had said earlier. “Don’t call him that.”

Zemo raised a brow, glancing between her and the former assassin, before putting his hands up in surrender. “My apologies.”

“If we’re done with the introductions,” Sam finally interrupted, stepping back into the hangar. “I’m pretty sure Zemo has a plane for us.”

“Ah, yes,” Zemo confirmed, turning away from her and Bucky now to lead the way to the strip.

Sam kept close to Zemo, but she fell into step with Bucky a few yards back as she hoisted her go bag over her shoulder. He reached over and snagged the bag from her, his free hand going to rest against the small of her back as he guided her forward.

“You don’t have to defend me,” he murmured, leaning down close to her. “But I appreciate it.”

“Zemo is just trying to get under your skin by flirting.”

“It’s working.”

They stopped a few feet from the plane, waiting for Zemo and Sam to board before Bucky turned to look down at her. Sunlight danced around her, circling her around her like a golden halo. He couldn’t help himself; he reached up and touched her cheek softly, running his thumb across the bone. For a few minutes, they simply stood outside the plane, watching each other.

“You’re jealous of Zemo?”

He huffed out a laugh, shaking his head. “I’m jealous of anyone who gets any of your attention.”

“Why is that?” She asked, trailing her fingers up his arm before gently taking his wrist in her hand.

“Because I —,”

“Seriously!” Sam’s voice broke into Bucky's statement, grabbing their attention. “Unless you’re finally gonna kiss her, get your asses on the plane.”

He dropped his hand, an annoyed growl escaping his lips as he turned to the plane, about to walk away. “I’m gonna kill him.”

She stopped him, fingers still wrapped around his wrist. He looked over his shoulder, dropping her go bag to his side as he turned back to her. He said her name simply, as if trying to prompt her to move again. With a rather confident step forward, she gave him a soft smile before she pushed up on her toes and pressed her lips to his.

Bucky dropped her bag, responding immediately to her mouth on his by taking her face in his hands. Weeks. He had been wanting for weeks to kiss her. But he never knew how to bring himself to do it, or if she really wanted him to. Every chance he thought he had, he would back out at the last second.

Leave it to her to make the first move; she always did.

When they pulled away, resting their foreheads against one another to catch their breaths, she let out a soft laugh.

“You don’t have to worry about anyone else,” she promised him, just as he leaned back in to steal another quick kiss. He couldn’t get enough. “I’m only yours, Bucky.”

Angsty fic idea that I might write myself someday, but is also totally free if someone wants to snag it.

(WARNING for mentions of self-harm.)

I’ve read a bunch of “Izzy the Spewer” fics where Izzy gets sick for whatever reason—rough seas, migraines, the terrifying ordeal of being known—and Stede swoops in with some good old-fashioned TLC that makes Izzy’s angry little brain short-circuit. Fantastically done, keep it up. HOWEVER, I have yet to come across a fic that really plays with the thought I have every time I read that scenario. Namely: “Izzy is learning to correlate kindness with illness, right?”

Right?

Izzy hails from Black Sails land where kindness is in short supply and desiring it—or worse, needing it—is basically a social death sentence. Or a literal one. So, after Stede offers some of that rare, quality grade H/C, Izzy is primed to explain half of that with, “Bonnet is a fucking bonkers man who doesn’t know how to pirate properly” and the other half with, “When someone as crazy as Bonnet does comfort you it’s only because you’re pathetic enough to warrant it. He’d never just do that on the regular, because who the hell would? The only time you get kindness is when you find a magical unicorn man who doesn’t know better and the only time he’d give it, especially to someone like me, is when you’re basically at death’s door.”

Izzy comes to the simple but highly problematic conclusion that Being Gravely Ill = Receiving Comfort He Can’t Get Anywhere Else.

Soooo… why not just be sick more often ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Which is far from ideal, obviously, but not for reasons Izzy is equipped to understand yet. The only thing he’s grappling with is the indignity of being sick in the first place, but significantly that ship has already sailed. Fang already told the whole crew about his nickname, Lucius made it a staple insult, and they all watched him losing his lunch over the side while Stede kept him from going overboard. There’s no coming back from that. But asking for more of that attention? He’s gonna—what? Just fucking walk up to Stede and request that he rub his back, or stroke his hair, or—heaven forbid—hug him? Absolutely-fucking-not. Izzy would rather die. Even if he DID make an attempt the words would literally not come out of his mouth. Being sick is the lesser of the two evils and since he’s already a weak, pathetic, needy excuse for a First Mate, might as well do whatever is necessary to deal with those failings.

Izzy might have the emotional intelligence of a rock, but he’s a damn good planner and can keep things subtle when it matters. At first no one notices that he only gives into the urge to heave when Stede is on deck and can see him do it. Everyone knows that Izzy eats dinner alone, long after the others have finished, but not that he’s restricting himself to the portions that have started going bad, resulting in many late-night bouts of suffering. He stops the breathing exercises he developed years ago to keep his nausea under control, stops self-medicating whenever a storm is on the horizon, even starts putting himself in situations that he knows will make his stomach churn, all with the intent of crafting a situation where, oh no, his stubborn Captain is insisting he’s taken care of? Well, who’s he to disobey an order?

And it works! Until it doesn’t, of course. Because I’m a fan of the crew continuing to develop their found family, they’ve been approaching the “Spewer” business as a kind of heavy-handed teasing. They know it’s not nice, but Izzy is such an asshole, and besides, they kinda thought it was a past thing? Not something he’s still struggling with and certainly not to this extent—like teasing your brother for falling down the stairs that one time except, huh, he’s falling down the stairs weekly now. That’s not funny anymore.

Their concern merges with Ed’s because really, he’s been sailing with Izzy for most of his life and it’s never been this bad. If anything, he should be doing better on The Revenge where there’s always fresh food and blue skies appear with an almost supernatural frequency. Stede too has started to grow suspicious, especially after that one time where Izzy didn’t really seem sick anymore, but kept claiming he was (because the idiot was so close—SO CLOSE—to just asking for comfort without this whole charade, but of course he didn’t).

It all comes to a head when Stede and Ed confront Izzy about it… which goes about as well as you would expect. Izzy goes into the meeting terrified that Ed noticed him playing this game with his boyfriend and is probably going to anchor him for it. Ed thinks it’s great that Stede and Izzy are bonding—the fact that he’s finally acknowledging his own crush on Izzy doesn’t help, given how overprotective he’s feeling— but otherwise he’s just confused? Especially since he’s such a tactile person and threw himself headfirst into touching Stede the second he realized that was allowed. Stede has the best handle on what’s really going on, but doesn’t know how acknowledge all that without making things worse. So he just, uh, makes things worse? Realizing that Izzy has the self-preservation instincts of a teaspoon, they try to go the “Making yourself sick means you’re not in a position to act as a functional First Mate” route because Izzy is all about being useful right? Except great, now he’s feeling guilty about how sick he can get, guilty about using that to get something he thinks he shouldn’t have, AND guilty about how that’s making him a liability. He and Ed get into a huge fight about it. Stede dithers. Punches are probably thrown.

They think things have cooled down a few days later, except then Izzy gets legitimately sick—no fuckery involved—and Ed just… doesn’t believe him? He’s suspicious now, understandably. Not because he thinks Izzy is always lying about when he’s ill, or always sets out to make it worse, and he certainly doesn’t have a problem with him getting comfort from Stede—or him!—for any reason, but he’s terrified that Izzy is still hurting himself and that shit needs to stop. But being accused of that when he’s actually ill is the fucking tipping point and Izzy… crumbles. Just fucking looses it. No more filters, or barriers, or excuses. The man’s a sobbing, exhausted mess and this is it, they’ll both be disgusted by him now.

They’re not, of course. This time Ed and Stede comfort Izzy together and, more importantly, insist that he stays with them even after he’s calmed down/is feeling better. Lots of talking it out where they insist that yes, he can have this. No, he doesn’t need to be ill enough to “deserve” it. Izzy, there’s two of us and we’re both overflowing with affection 24/7, we guarantee it’s not an imposition to ask for things. But he can’t. He just literally can’t. There’s no version of Izzy (yet) that can ask for comfort when he needs it, or simply take it with the understanding that it’s always freely offered. So they devise some strategies to help Izzy ask without feeling like he’s asking; simple actions that will cue them into his mood without anyone else being wiser. The most successful is having a designated spot in the Captains’ cabin that is his and his alone. For a long time, Izzy will only accept their attentions in complete privacy anyway, so sitting on this particular part of the couch always means… well, the whole point is that Izzy doesn’t have to say what it means. He’ll get there, but right now he just has to sit down—that’s it, just sit, even he can fucking sit—and his Captains understand precisely what he needs.

And with their relationship and Izzy’s coping skills developing, everyone lives happily ever after ^_^

(Bonus cathartic comedy moment: Someone unknowingly sits in Izzy’s spot and he reacts precisely like a pissed-off cat would. Glaring from across the room, coiled tight as a spring, hand ominously on the pommel of his sword. This means nothing to me, don’t fucking think otherwise, but you WILL move and you will move NOW.)

I’m so dogshit at art and writing but if I was better I would draw a comic of an au of Danny phantom where instead of the portal incident turning Danny into phantom, it gives him an affinity for the supernatural which leads him and his friends ghost (and supernatural adjacent) hunting because of sam’s egging on for them to bank on this opportunity.

But slowly, as the plot progresses, they realise that Danny didn’t just get kinda spookier and better at attracting spooky things. That he might be More Changed then they realised and it could even culminate into a big reveal thing where Sam realises that she’s actually responsible for permanently irreversibly changing her friend by making him get into that portal that day. Think of it as a kind of character arc for Sam kinda. Learning that her actions have consequences, especially since she’s a rich kid and she may still need to learn this lesson. And what better way to learn it then to literally kill your best friend lmao

Also this could lead to more level power sets between the trio and giving them all chances to shine on equal grounds, at least until Danny realises he’s less alive then he thought.

The accident would’ve hospitalised Danny but other then his heart stopping then restarting and various other spooky things he comes out the other side (seemingly) unscathed, which means Sam doesn’t feel as bad when she realises Danny can attract the paranormal now and therefore attempts to drag him and tucker ghost hunting with her.

Danny doesn’t get a transformation until much later on in the plot and the only physical indicators of his accident are maybe some white hair and occasional green eye flashes. Maybe slight bioluminescence in the dark, as a treat.

I love ectoplasm being spooky juice that can tear u apart from the inside so after the accident sometimes danny would have times where he would throw up ectoplasm and blood and stuff and see flashes of things he doesn’t understand. (Body horror woohoo!!)

Danny keeps a lot of the more gory stuff from his friends and doesn’t tell them about his ‘episodes’ or his weird hallucinations or anything.

The Fenton’s are just as Insane to everyone else as ever because ghosts are a little less in your face and only a pinch more subtle and spooky. I think the fentons would be slightly less intense tho, not too much because I love their insanity, but enough so it makes their threat to Danny as he slowly realises hes less human much more menacing and less slapstick.

In this the ghost fights would be less catastrophic and more spooky. There would be far less property damage but the risks instead would now be genuine horror movie possession, mysterious deaths, being tripped out of windows and stairs, blood on the walls, spontaneous heart attacks among many others. I’m not sure how to best explain the vibes i have in my head rn but the threat would still very much be there but it would be less solve-able through flashy fist-fights in the sky. Hell I’ve got an image of a house mysteriously being set ablaze.

Their methods for removing the ghosts would be far less sci-fi too and more like trying to solve murders to stop angry murderous ghosts and demon banishing with salt and jazz. Maybe Sam uses her occult knowledge and gets really into a type of witchcraft, maybe there’s an arc where she somehow learns more about her ancestors and the founders of the town. I dunno¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (not to say there’s no sci-fi at all- that’s a pretty fundamental part of danny phantom me thinks, I think it’d be more along the lines of ghostbusters logic tho maybe)

another cool idea: Danny sees flashes of a ghosts life when he enters their haunt or gets near them, and the ‘visions’ eventually show him their death. This can fuck him up or just be mildly traumatic whichever best fits.

I feel like even after getting his ‘ghost’ form there should still be several drawbacks. Maybe he’s less physical? Maybe he coughs up blood? Maybe he just doesn’t like being dead? Maybe he loses himself a little? Who knows! I don’t

A lot of thoughts about this but I’m not sure how to word it, so have at thee tumblr if anyone sees this

simmer (nick x luke)

for @jessieluvsoranges sorry this took so long i hope you like it!! perhaps not as fluffy as you might have had in mind haha but apparently i'm allergic to writing fluff so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

also on my ao3

Footsteps sound behind Nick in the dark, and his mouth twists down into an angry scowl. “I told you to leave me the hell alone, Uncle Pete.”

“I know,” Luke’s voice says softly, and Nick turns in surprise, shoulders de-tensing just a little at the realization. “But I figured maybe you were hungry.”

“Sorry,” Nick apologizes. “Thought you were…” He trails off, staring at the dry heel of brown bread and the mushy apple in Luke’s hands. “What the hell’s all this?”

Luke grimaces. “All I could manage to filch from dinner. Got somethin' for Diane, too. She’s eating it now.”

Nick ignores the offered food and returns to gazing moodily out of his and Luke’s cell bedroom window. “I’m gonna kill him.”

He hears Luke sink down on the creaky bottom bunk behind him. “You can’t kill him,” says Luke, ever the minuscule angel perched atop Nick’s shoulder, a little nagging sometimes. “You know that.”

“Well, I wish I could do something, ” says Nick angrily. He can still hear the sharp smack of Carver’s backhand across his mother’s face. He can barely feel his own swelling eye and stinging cheekbone, not through all the rage bubbling up inside him. Of course it wouldn’t be enough to just hit them, of course the fucker had to take away his mom’s dinner, too.

And Nick’s own meal, as well, but that doesn’t seem to matter as much.

“Carlos and Alvin think soon,” Luke tells him, voice rising to barely above a whisper. “Pete, Reggie, and Rebecca agree. Not that much longer, buddy, then we’ll get out of here. Just - Just keep holdin’ on. Just a little bit longer.”

Nick screws his eyes shut, frustrated. “I know,” he grumbles. “I know. God, this whole thing is just - it’s just so fucked! ”

“ Sssh! ” Luke hisses. His eyes dart fervently to their door’s open window. “Keep your voice down, man! Don’t be an idiot.”

“Sorry,” mutters Nick after a moment, shaking his head. He can barely keep the angry tremors out of his voice. “Don’t need him coming back here and blacking your eyes up, too.” His blood simmers steadily with hate. “What an asshole. ”

“We’re so close, ” Luke reminds him, voice sounding kinda desperate. “So close, Nick. And once we’re outta here, no one’s gonna lay a finger on you or Diane ever again. I’ll make sure of it.”

Every time he hears Luke say his name, Nick feels chills rippling up and down his fool’s backbone. He swallows, hard, and whispers, “You don’t know that, man.”

“Well, I’m gonna try to make it that way,” says Luke with conviction. He nods at the measly dinner set out on the rickety bedside table before him. “Go on then.”

Nick turns. Luke’s eyes are boring into his own, fervent and convincing (he’s so certain ), and Nick’s cheekbone throbs and he fists his hand into the collar of Luke’s shirt, white-knuckled, and kisses him.

Luke starts to return the sentiment, lips moving against lips, but just as quickly he pulls away. “We - We said we weren’t gonna do this anymore. You said we couldn’t do this no more.”

“Forget what I said,” Nick mutters back to him, aching to feel Luke’s tongue press into his own. “Just forget it, Luke, kiss me…”

“This is a bad idea,” Luke whispers, but he kisses him all the same. “Dammit…”

He never knew he wanted this, not really, not ‘til now. Nick’s not good with feelings and all that lovey-dovey crap. The stuff before, that had been stress relief. A way to find some little moment of somethin’ nice in the middle of all the shit. Eventually, he’d put a stop to it because Pete was startin’ to look at them funny. But now Nick realizes that maybe the real reason he tried to end it’s because he was getting more invested in what he and Luke were doing than he knew how to be comfortable with.

Is he even comfortable now? No…and yes, definitely at the same time. He can’t really tell. This is what he’s always wanted - this is what was never supposed to happen - and, Lord help him, Nick can’t fucking stop, he couldn’t even if he wanted to. He’s been looking and looking at Luke his whole life long and it’s only just now he’s picking up on what all those looks have really meant.

Uncle Pete would probably roll his eyes and say Told ya so, like he always has when Nick inevitably fucks up for the millionth time, even though he didn’t tell Nick nothing about this. Where the hell was the warning for any of it?

Life don't come with warnings anymore. Not these days.

Luke pulls away. He tips his head down to bury his nose at the junction of Nick’s shoulder and his neck. His lips flutter there, breathy, in and back out again.

I love you, Nick feels him mouth into his skin.

And Nick swallows, stomach growling with hunger as he glances over at his dinner, and he says to Luke,

“I know.”

So me and my friend were discussing characters we didn’t like, and Scott came up and my friend really doesn’t like Scott…BUT something I wanted to ask you about was a point my friend made. He says one of the main reason why he doesn’t like Scott is because he feels like he is lowkey misogynistic/is often written that way. The examples he brought up is that Scott leaves/cheats on women when he doesn’t need/want them anymore. like how when he was married to Maddie in X-factor and Jean came back he cheated on her with Jean. He then cheated on Jean with Emma in New X-men, and now in the Krakoa era Scott left Emma to be with again Jean. I just wanted to know your opinion on it because I’ve never thought about it in that way before sksksk

Well, first of all, that’s just textually not true. He absolutely did NOT cheat on Maddie with Jean. He also did not leave Emma for Jean; he and Emma broke up back in like 2013 while Jean was still dead.

The one that is textually true is the Jean/Scott/Emma situation in New X-Men. And here I’m going to pin it on the writer, because Morrison is a misogynist and I think it absolutely permeates their writing. Thinking about what Morrison has said about the Jean/Scott situation just makes me so, so incredibly angry. It’s a deeply misogynistic story written by a deeply misogynistic writer in a way that makes Scott look deeply misogynistic!!! I hate it.

And that’s where it’s like actually possible to make a case for Scott as a misogynist, because different readers are going to put different weights on different comics runs. For me, NXM is an aberration that goes against everything the X-Men stand for and the misogyny is only part of that. For me, the fact that Scott is written for much longer as a supportive partner to Emma and Jean and as someone who generally respects his female teammates and friends is going to be more important than the bad characterization in a run written by someone whose writing I have very little respect for.

(Sorry, I’m incapable of objectivity or civility when it comes to NXM, it just upsets and angers me so much.)

But for other readers, especially for people who’ve read less of the Claremont run or who started with the Morrison run (a common recommendation, for some goddamn reason), that characterization of Scott might colour their perception of the character overall.

I have my opinion and biases, of course. I happen to like uptight leaders who are no fun most of the time but sometimes smirk really sexily in private. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But a big part of being a comics fan is negotiating different interpretations of a character (or an event) and trying to come up with a coherent understanding. And because it’s always a negotiation, people are going to come up with different understandings, and that’s just part of being a fan of the medium! It certainly gives us plenty of things to argue about online. :)

Okay so I’m still trying to figure out the timeline of Wake’s ghost haunting Gideon’s sword

So I’ve puzzled out from context clues that Gideon started training at the tender age of eight, from the following passages:

- She says to Harrow that she has “she has ten years of sword training and a minor allergy to face paint” when they’re picking her a cavalier weapon

- She says at the beginning of GtN, when telling us the story of how she came to be on the Ninth, that they “knew by the time she was eight that she wasn’t nun material”

- When she is talking to Isaac and Jeannemary when they investigate the facility, the narration mentions that she’s wanted to join the cohort since the age of eight

So, with all this in mind, I think we can definitely pinpoint when she started training with swords in general, even if we don’t know when she got that one in particular. Tbh I think it’s a bit wild to give an eight years old a two-hander that Harrow at eighteen can’t even lift, but whatever

But what do we know about the movements and location of her mother’s skeleton? At first I thought that Gideon must have been in regular proximity to it, given that we know that she had the habit of sitting next to her mother’s niche and talk to her.

BUT! In the early pages of GtN, it says that she went down to her mom’s niche in the catacombs to say goodbye, more as a symbolic gesture than anything else given that she “hadn’t been there since Gideon was little and would never go back in it now.”

Gideon visited that niche until at least her early teens; she qualifies the things she used to say to her mom as “real fourteen years old bullshit”. Fourteen isn’t really “since she was little”, imo. Did Gideon visit her mother’s empty niche? Did she talk “to” her mother there even though she wasn’t even actually there at all?

Because we know that when she WAS “like, six years old” (her words), Gideon actually used to hang out with the skeletons in the snow leek fields and try to guess which one was her mom. Aiglamene broke it to her when she was seven that her mom’s skeleton hadn’t been put to work yet, and she was only boiled (ew) and made into a construct when Gideon was eight. (We learn this in chapter 51 of HtN).

So I believe it is reasonable to assume that Gideon didn’t know where her mother’s body was before she was seven-ish, and then at eight the body is turned into a construct and is therefore taken out of the catacomb niche permanently. That leaves baby Gideon maybe a year to visit the [occupied] niche, and then she keeps visiting an [empty] one until at least fourteen years of age.

Which gives us a relatively short period of time for Wake to make the jump into Gideon’s sword! Almost immediately as soon as she gets it, in fact. It is not unreasonable to believe that Gideon might have gone to show her mother her new toy as soon as possible. If Wake saw an opening and made the jump that early, it would also explain why Harrow always felt like the sword hated her.

I also wonder why Wake wasn’t turned into a construct a lot earlier than that? I mean, eight years is a long time, even if they were hanging on to her body in case someone came to claim it. (Doubtful anyway; we know the Ninth has a concept of scavenger rights to found bones.) But maybe something was preventing them from turning her into a construct, like for example an angry ghost hanging on to the bones that suddenly left those bones when Gideon was eight. Just saying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Regarding the last ask my interpretation of two and he and one’s very umm messy dynamic is that I don’t think two really would want to understand that one loves him. Like there’s huge messy mistakes and hurts caused by both side that make it hard for either one or two to understand love in general let alone acknowledge it.

But.

But. How I’m perceiving two in how he’s been presented to us is that even if it (one loving him) could be pointed out to him in a way he understands I think he’d refuse to acknowledge it because atm he holds so much resentment and bitterness and hate* towards one that having it pointed out that one loves him would not be something he could handled because then it would be like forcing him to realize the hurt he’s causing someone who loves him and it would force him to grapple with the fact that the feelings he holds for someone that loves him are not necessarily good or healthy and that in turn would probably make him feel flawed and like the monster the hidden city believes him to be and I don’t think he could handle those feelings and so he just…wouldn’t. He’d deny any evidence of one’s love solely so he didn’t have to deal with what it means and his own messy complicated feelings

(* when I say hate i don’t mean two hates one we know he loves him back but I mean like there is hate and it does get projected on one a little maybe but it’s more hate about the lack of respect and lack of equality and hatred of the situation and ranks and how one enforces it just as strongly as Draxum like I could see two saying he hates one but it’s misplaced it’s not actually hatred of his brother it’s more hatred of the messed up dynamic they have and since that was set up by Draxum it’s easier and safer to blame one then it would be the commander)

The flip side is I have a lot of thoughts about one on this too because he’s is obviously not like without his own set of issues and mistakes that he brings to the dysfunctional relationship between them but the ask was more about two so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ that’s my take on how twos being written so far and I could be way off so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong!

Anon I really like where your head is at. This actually made me think of some important things we have to figure out before s1 part 2

Ok so i really think you’re onto something. Two doesn’t understand that One loves him not because he hasn’t noticed but because he doesn’t know what it is. For Two, everything he and One do is a product of their mission and purpose as Draxum’s experiments. That’s his understanding and just generally how he sees his life, including his relationship with One. Here’s where it gets tricky. I know in the ask you’re referring to i said Two doesn’t understand that One loves him, and that’s true on a technical sense. I think on some level Two understands that One cares about him because Two cares about One too. As much hostility and mistrust as there is between them, theyre still very close. That relationship is just tainted by a lot of bitterness, so much so that I think Two has lost that feeling of caring and trust that they used to have as children, pre-rank. But he hasnt forgotten about it entirely. Its why one does what he does snd probably part of why two’s so angry all the time.

I love your thoughts on Two reacting to this all being spelled out to it bc, like I said, he doesnt’ actively recognize where One’s motives are coming from, since hes blinded by his anger rank and desperation/commitment to draxum’s mission. If he was told One loves him, itd probably come as a surprise. He wasn’t aware that could even HAPPEN. Two barely remembers behaving like a child and being so carefree, likely assumed that One shed the empty “brother” and “family” mindset like he had, and “woke up,” so to speak. But I actually think that realizing that would just make him angrier. How could One “love” him but still treat him as an inferior? He’d probably think of it as pathetic and weak and just an excuse or maybe simply dismiss it as not true. Underneath that, though, he’d probably panic a bit (fueling his anger), and yea maybe wondering why they’re so different, which honestly could either make him feel insecure or more isolated from One. But that side of it probably comes out in season 2 :)

Two and One’s relationship is super messy and it absolutely infuriates Two most of the time. I really loved hearing your thoughts they made me think a lot about Two’s internal feelings and thoughts :)

Also, we would love to hear about your thoughts on One, if you're willing to share!

Update

Heya~ It’s been a while. 5 years

First off... I’m genuinely surprised that my dead blog still gets likes and reblogs occasionally. During the course of time, a lot of asks were sent, and I’m really sorry for having left you guys hanging. At that time, high school grades were a priority ;; Now that I’ve been free from all that for a while, at the very least, an update was necessary.

1. Updating blog theme

There were concerns that the blog was hard to navigate and to add, also lead to external links. I’m incredibly sorry to those who experienced this. The blog has now reverted back to the vanilla tumblr theme.

2. Back to being active?

I’m afraid that I have lost all motivation to continue this blog. There are 15 drafts/unposted theories that were left sitting there, and when I look at those posts, I think man, what was I thinking? As of right now, I’ve forgotten 80% of what my theories were originally about, that I’ve had to reread them over and over ; And it’s unlikely I’ll ever get back on track. So with that, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to answer all of the asks, since the part of my brain concerning itself with Cheritz has been collecting webs and dust 😞

3. The future of this blog

I’ve considered deleting this blog for some time. It’s pretty much dead, but I’m still conflicted over whether I should or not. It’s actually my very first and only tumblr blog...

4. Moving on

Part of what made this fun were some online friends I made along the way in creating these seemingly wild theories. I’ve lost touch with them overtime, but its a part of growing up in general, moving on with life. I’ve had so much fun also looking at others’ theories and looking at the asks. In fact, there were some that were like a revelation o.o, things that I had never considered. There was one ask which talked about how some of the organisations making contact with the RFA sounded like they were making desperate wishes 😮

Anyway, I’ve moved on. From Mystic Messenger. From Nameless, Dandelion. All of Cheritz I’m afraid. I was never interested in The Ssum from right when it was announced back in 2017, because first, it came out of nowhere, and I had doubt that it was connected to the previous games. Turns out...

I’ll leave that there for you to figure out (don’t wanna risk spoilers haha).

But the biggest demotivator for dropping my blog has to be...

5. Cheritz’s declaration that the story of Mystic Messenger was up to interpretation

That particular post shook me. Starting from Nameless, Cheritz had established that their future games were truly something to look forward to, at least for me. It’s not just throwbacks or cameos, it’s within the same universe. The announcement of MysMe and introduction of Jumin’s character hooked me in right from the start. It was very exciting back in the past. But now, it’s just... eh. Cheritz appears to want to please everyone. Apparently, the Mysme fandom that hadn’t played Dandelion or Nameless were angry that they had to check out the two to understand the story of Mysme which was why Cheritz had made that post (don’t quote me, even I’m unsure of whether this is true or not 😶 But if Cheritz had to make a post like that, it must mean something)

Ultimately, I actually hadn’t even started V’s route nor got a satisfactory ending with Saeran. Their routes were a big surprise, and I felt it got messy quick. When I looked at the story of Mysme at face value (so looking at it independently without any connection to the other games) and paired with other people’s perspectives of Saeran’s and V’s routes based off screenshots, I found there were some inconsistencies regarding the characters and their point of views of events. And if that’s at face value, then there’s just no way I’ll be able to, well, make connections between the games. And the fact that Jumin’s got a route based off a bad ending... well, more profit is good I guess? They are a company after all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Ultimately, if there are inconsistencies, paired with the fact that Cheritz says that the game is up to interpretation... what, then, is considered canon or a theory?

If you’ve read this far... nah, there’s no way haha.

6. Just some rambling (my own thoughts, feel free to disagree of course)

I feel like Cheritz has made a mistake. By saying that Mysme can be interpreted in any way, only to connect the Ssum back to Mysme, and killing Lynn Project. Dandelion and Nameless had a clear direction. Lynn Project could’ve had a direction, who knows? Both Mysme (any additional content after the main story, new routes etc) and the Ssum don’t feel like they have a clear direction, with how they’ve had to develop these two within either a tight time frame, or lacking storytelling and anticipation.

Anyway, I’m not sure if people are still interested in the theories surrounding Cheritz games. If so, it’s really impressive their brains haven’t fallen out. Mine fell out a long time ago. Looking back at my theories, I have now understood how crazy I must’ve sounded to others haha.

7. So what am I doing now?

At the moment, it’s still unclear on whether I should keep this blog up or not. It all depends. Although I doubt there are others following this blog to begin with (like, is there even a discord server for Cheritz fans on theories and headcanons?)

I’ve moved onto other things at this point: working for a living, learning art, checking out other otome games, Kdramas, and so on.

Peace~

Can we talk about how chill Anakin is though?

Like, yes, he fell in love with a woman he met for, like, two days, and kept loving her for ten years without seeing her. He’s weird, I’m not saying he isn’t.

On the other hand, it took ten plus years of verbal manipulation, four-ish years of a gruesome war, his wife and unborn children dying, and what he felt like was the Jedi betraying him for Anakin to fall to the Dark Side. It took a lot of effort! I would have given up!

Anakin is so impossibly chill somehow?? As a child he is confident and self-assured, rightfully so since he has contingencies in place for literally anything that moght happen during the podrace. He is in a ship he has no control of in the middle of a gunfight, and he just ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯ “Qui-Gon told me to stay in the ship.”

When we see him again in Attack of the Clones, he’s a bit snappy, yeah, okay, but he also jumps out of cars without a care in the world. He really only goes haywire when his mother dies, and I think we can all confidently say that he was, at that point, under Palpatine’s manipulation for long enough that that probably had something to do with it. We know this because Anakin feels like shit afterwards. Anakin doesn’t even know why he did it! He is so chill at every other point. He flirts with Padme, he makes fun of Obi-Wan, he does incredibly dangerous things without thinking because he knows he’s powerful, he’s confident! He’s chill!

The third movie is the culmination of all of Palpatine’s effort to turn Anakin to the Dark Side. And Anakin, at this point, has been fighting in a hopeless war and watching his friends die for the past four years. Anakin has been secretly married to a woman and he just found out she is pregnant and he is twenty-three and has no idea what the fuck he’s doing. Yeah. He falls to the Dark Side. He falls because a man he trusted since his childhood told him the Jedi all hated him. Also, Obi-Wan did cut off all of his limbs and leave him to burn to death, like I would fall too if Obi-Wan cut off all my limbs after all of that happened, damn.

But as Vader! The Phantom Menace is the only time we know for sure we see Anakin not under Palpatine’s control, but we can assume Palpatine has loosened his grip on Vader, if only because they are barely ever together. And Vader! Is! So! Chill! Vader is not portrayed as very angry! If anything, he is unreasonably calm at every point! He is irrational, he is impulsive, but those are not the same things as being angry. He calmly chokes people because he feels disgusted by them. He is actually pretty pleased by how tough Leia is, because he thinks it’s neat (and because she lies to Tarkin’s face). He corners Luke to try and get Luke to join his side and when Luke instead chooses to fall thousands of feet to his probable death, Vader’s response is the stunned lowering of his hand a bit. Vader only ever really gets upset when Luke is baiting him and then when Palpatine is Force lightning-ing Luke. Aside from that? He gets angry for maybe a moment or two, then he’s cool with it.

But, if we’re talking about Anakin and how chill he is, we have to talk about Clone Wars. The tv show that proves Anakin is a “do as I say, not as I do” lind of teacher. Even when he gets upset at Ahsoka, he is still very kind about it? Like, he’s worried, not really angry, and he tries to cheer her up. He is impossibly calm throughout the series, unreasonably calm really.

Anakin is so chill. I don’t know how else to say it. He just would like to sit on the grass and stare up at the sky. Maybe spar with Obi-Wan. Hold hands with his wife. He is a simple man and it took so much effort to seduce him to the Dark Side that it honestly really isn’t all that surprising to me that it took Luke fifteen minutes to change his mind.
