#it would be lmfao if it wasn’t truly horrifying

[nyerus]

Your thoughts on TGCF as so insightful and interesting! I just finished the books and was wondering if you had any thoughts on Ruoye and Fangxin the weapons of Xie Lian. It always struck me as pretty awful he carried around weapons that were used to hurt him. I can’t figure out why he was okay carrying them around. Thanks!

Thank you so much Anon, you're so sweet!~ Congrats on finishing!

I think yeah, it's pretty... intense that Xie Lian carries around such weapons! Though at the same time, Xie Lian is the type of person to do that to himself, especially since he thinks a lot of what happens to him post-second ascension is penance.

I think for Ruoye: Ruoye itself is innocent. It was born out of something truly horrible, being the white silk band that bound him and was bathed with his blood, primed to be transformed into something malevolent. And then when it was used to take the life of two royals (three if you count Xie Lian again), it finally did transform into a sentient spirit. But it was not evil. It was just an innocent nascent spirit. Even if Xie Lian was initially horrified by it, Ruoye itself had not done anything wrong. And moreover, it was the only thing close to a companion he had left, and the last memento of his parents. Xie Lian at that point -- by Bai Wuxiang's design -- was completely and utterly isolated. It makes sense that he would keep Ruoye around. And because of his mindbreak, too, he saw no reason to get rid of something useful as a weapon.

Additionally, I've seen others mention that part of the reason that Ruoye is so loyal, protective, and loving towards Xie Lian is that it's imbued with the love and wishes of his parents. ;;;;

And then, for Fang Xin: again, the sword itself was just a tool. It's the representation of something heinous that was done to him, but at the time (being so *broken* inside), he had no reason to discard a useful weapon. That was the extent of his mental capacity regarding it. He wasn't really in a state where he could really even understand his own trauma, and was miles away from beginning to process it. So I think he kept it around initially just because of that. And then, near the end of book 4, Wu Ming used Fang Xin as a lightning rod to direct the restless spirits and the curse towards himself, shattering in a sacrifice to protect Xie Lian. Right in front of Xie Lian's eyes. So of course he kept the sword after that, in remembrance of his last believer -- until it was lost following the Bloody Banquet.

When Fang Xin is "returned" to him in book 1, again he doesn't really have a reason to discard it. Xie Lian has carried his trauma around with him for 800 years at that point, and is so numb to the horrors inflicted on him that he probably doesn't even think about it. (Notably, Hua Cheng is *not* okay with it lmfao.) And I think in the end, it's poetic that he "leaves" Fang Xin with its rightful owner, along with tossing the bamboo hat at Jun Wu to protect him from the falling rain. Sort of like meeting cruelty with compassion, and leaving behind the darkness of his past to move forward -- free of his literal shackles, and also the blame and guilt he used to shackle himself more metaphorically.

I hope this helps explain it a little bit, just in the way that I see it! Thank you for sending this ask in! I love... thinking about poor Lianlian’s trauma.... ;;;;;;;;;;;

Anthony, Penelope, Marina and Colin deserved better...

Beware, rant ahead

Ok I wish I didn’t feel such strong need to continue beating this dead horse but oopsie, I will very much be beating it some more.

Like, my fave books of the Bridgerton series are Anthony’s and Colin’s books, so I’m seething about what they did with their characterizations, Anthony and Penelope in particular, because Colin’s only real sin was being boring, and if you remember how funny he’s in the books it makes me wanna fall on my knees and ask Chris Van Dusen whyyyy omg why would you do something like that to such a dynamic character. So yeah, Colin is boring af and a moron but at least he isn’t an asshole the way show Anthony and Penelope are, and I’ve seen people say that they can always be redeemed in future seasons, if we get them, but that’s exactly my problem, because they never had to be redeemed in the books, to begin with. Penelope more so than Anthony but let me begin by defending my boy.

Is he a jerk sometimes? Sure. Is he actively awful and uncaring towards those close to him, especially his family? Hell no, quite the opposite, in fact. Not to be controversial on main but in the books... he was right in not wanting Daphne to be courted by a man who he knew damn right had no intention of marrying her and as far as he was aware was only making her waste her time, and he was right in demanding Simon pay for compromising her honor. Could he have been more mindful of what Daphne had to say and listened to her wishes? Of course, but considering Simon and Daphne (both in the show and in the books) aren’t exactly masters in communication themselves, Anthony doesn’t come off as the biggest offender in that situation.

What he never did was force Daphne, or any of his sisters really, to do anything; if they didn’t like a guy then that guy was out of their lives no question asked, and he loved them enough to always have their best interests at heart, for his sisters and his brothers, to the point that even though he’s traumatized and thinks he’s gonna die young he’s still willing to get past that to do his duty and marry, because he doesn’t want to pass that burden on to his little brothers (so him deciding to leave all his responsibilities to Benedict so he can fck off with his mistress is... like, a choice lmao). In fact all the subplot with Siena felt like a choice on the writers part, like they truly liked Benedict and Sophie’s story so they just slapped it on Anthony so he could act all sad and sexy while they gave us foreshadowing with the subtlety of a warharmer that he’s ending up with Kate anyways (and that Benedict is ending with Sophie anyways too, so they would be using that storyline twice, unless they do make him bi and fall in love with a man, but maybe that’s too much of ask for this show), so what was Siena’s purpose in the story? Who tf knows not me.

Now Penelope, my god. Yes I know I joke Penny has never done anything wrong in her life, and I still love her, but she was wrong. Very much so. What she did was significantly worse than what Marina did, which I still don’t condone at all. Like yes, I still maintain that Marina tricking Colin into marriage was wrong (and I’ll go later on why that whole subplot was racist af), but what Penelope did could have not only ruined Marina and herself and her sisters reputations, but it was basically condemning an innocent unborn child to a life in the streets, that’s messed up. Even if Marina was rose-coloring her potential life with Colin and he might have grown to resent her, at least the baby would’ve been alright. And my problem with that whole subplot is that all of it was resolved so neatly, with Sir Phillip sweeping in to save the day so we don’t have to actually see what Penelope’s actions could have caused, but the implications are still very much there.

And I’m cracking my mind trying to figure out whether the showrunners just... really hate Colin’s book and Penelope as a character so they’re trying to inflict some kind of character assassination on her so they can get away with writing him off with another person without causing much outrage, or if they just thought there wasn’t enough ~drama~ or stakes on their book so they have to add them, and give him some kind of bullshit tragic romantic past to explain why he doesn’t want to marry, whereas in the books, the reason he doesn’t marry anyone is because he doesn’t feel like it, and that’s ok, there’s no need for every character to have a tragic backstory and to be riddled with angst; Colin is that character, he’s an easy going guy who’s just not interested in marriage until he falls in love with Penny AND THAT’S VALID, just because he doesn’t have the most complex motivations out there doesn’t mean he isn’t a compelling character. The stakes in his story after he discovers Penny is Whistledown are, as he points out, that she has insulted so many people there’s no way some of them wouldn’t want to retaliate if word came out, and he cares for her and doesn’t want her to get hurt (there’s also a dumb part about him being secretly jealous of her accomplishments as Whistledown, but thankfully he gets over that pretty quickly).

But while I am on that, it is true that Penelope wrote some uncharitable things about the mean people around her, but she never ever ruined someone’s reputation, let alone endanger the future of a child. Was she a bitch sometimes? Yeah, but she was also kind to a lot of people and her criticism was never unwarranted and never did more damage than maybe annoy a couple of girls like Cressida. I just hate the idea of this needing to turn into some sort of ~redemption arc~ for Penelope because, again, in the books she really didn’t have to make up for anything, definitely not to Colin, who was actually the one who had to do much of the heavy lifting in their relationship when he realized that he literally slept on her for years.

And now regarding Marina, like yes, she was wrong and I stand by that statement (but not as wrong as Penelope), but tbh I find it hard to be mad at her when they gave her such a racist storyline, as the scheming woc who gets pregnant out of wedlock and then tries to seduce the innocent white man, until the virtuous white girl needs to step up to save him. At least that’s what I thought initially as the writers intention, but honestly I’m not so sure anymore, I doubt they will continue to write her and Colin as a couple otherwise they would’ve bothered to show them interacting outside of her manipulating him and him acting like a bumbling idiot, the most sincere moment they had together was when he comforted her about the lie, but by that time this bitch (me) was empty and didn’t give a shit anymore. Literally all their other interactions where shown through Penelope’s POV to let us know she was sad, and Colin’s most significant scenes where again... with Penelope (because it isn’t as if he has a family and his own moments in the books outside of being an object for Penelope to pine after).

And as I said before, Marina had a—relatively—happy ending: married to a man she doesn’t love (just as she didn’t love Colin) but who will treat her right and care for her and her child in comfort. Is arguably a better ending than if she’d married Colin because now she doesn’t have to go through the trouble of explaining things to her new husband and run the risk of him resenting her forever. Phillip may not love her but he knows who he’s marrying and why he’s marrying her. That’s literally the same fate Marina had in the books, and it makes me wonder why, oh why would the writers do that.

Why create such a contrived plot to give a character who appears in one(1) chapter of an 8 books series then promptly dies, all at the expense of the characterization of one of the most beloved heroines of said books series? Why would you write this racist storyline for a character whose fate is dying? And now I’m horrified at the repercussions that can come with Marina committing su*cide like in canon, because the implications would be that Penelope would be responsible for it (and I hate the idea of blaming one person for the su*cide of another, fictional or otherwise, is harmful and we need to be careful with making such implications), which would make her even less redeemable or like, likable in general. Not to mention that would be like putting the final racist nail in Marina’s coffin by giving her that ending.

It makes me wonder, seriously, if Chris Van Dusen hated Romancing Mister Bridgerton that much, if he loathed the idea of writing a fat character finding love and getting sex that much. I just wanna know why lmfao.

Supernatural s3

It’s so unfair that the season that has Ruby AND Bela is so short :(((. I was done with it waaaay too quickly, and now I’m speed running through s4 xD (which, like the first time around, is Strong Mixed Feelings territory).

-My girl Ruby!!!! I was so happy to have her back, I kept grinning like a loon every time she was on screen. It’s quite interesting watching the 1.0 and 2.0 versions so close to each other, instead of as they air. I have... Thoughts, on whether Ruby as a double agent was something planned or that they decided as they went, but that’s for the s4 post. s3!Ruby really doesn’t come across as one (“I don’t believe in the devil” oh I wish sometimes xD, I love my nonbelievers), imo, but the beauty of such a device is that you can rationalize anything she does as devious if you want to xD

And it goes without saying that I love her interactions with Sam. THIS SHIP ISTG. I love how immediately ~attuned to her he is lol, his present and instinctive concern for her even if he tries to mask his interest as “practical”. And all the repeated times Sam’s conflicted between her and Dean -like when he deviates Dean shot (wasting one of the Colt’s bullets lmfao) or during the argument about the virgin sacrifice xD. And the “that’s my boy”/ “little fallen angel on your shoulder” quotes!!! Ruby 1.0 deserved to be railed by Sam too, smh.

My favourite episode of hers is “Jus in Bello” (which would be my fave of the season just by virtue of having both Bela and Ruby in the same episode lol. Not interacting, of course, the world as we know it wouldn’t have survived). I just love that she gets that final moment of I TOLD YOU SO to the brothers xD. I really like how she expands on the demonic lore of the show- I love, LOVE the detail about how all demons used to be humans, how they’re souls corrupted in hell. And that in her past life she was a witch (there was this really good fic in Spanish fandom about it... I need to hunt it down).

BTW, though I think her interactions with Dean in that episode are interesting, it really hammers home how much I hate him sometimes xD. Can you stop saying misogynistic slurs for TWO GODDAMN MINUTES, DEAN (and as we know from as early as this season, only HE can have demon/monster friends!! What a fucking hypocrite xD). I freaking love the moment in the finale when she viciously yells him about how she wishes she could see him in hell lmao (and how it foreshadows that when she shows sympathy later, it’s actually Lilith in disguise lmfao). I hate Dean gets the last word in their dynamic, tbqh. Until the s15 cameo, at least xDD

One thing that’s been bothering me xD: the French fries. Demons are vulnerable to salt, like other spirits, right? (and hey, look what a nice piece of foreshadowing that was). How does that translate to food lol. Because Ruby adores French fries, and they obviously contain salt. It’s like spicy food for humans? Or like pineapple? Inquiring minds etc. xD

-I still cannot believe Bela Talbot was only on the show for six episodes lmao. Her presence still lingers in the watchers’ heads so much?? Which is understandable because she’s Lead Girl Material if there was ever any lol. The care with which they styled her even?? You don’t do that for just any character lmao (I mean, just look at most of SPN’s female characters for comparison xD).

Her ship with Dean could’ve really been something, too -even if I hate Dean in it, I can’t deny it packs a punch, narrative-wise. I mean, the Batcat undertones alone!! The fake married undercover shenanigans!! And I think it’s really interesting that she’s such a blind spot for him; Dean’s unusually intuitive about people, but with Bela he takes everything at face value and she can fool him like no other (while, OTOH, is Sam who questions her facade and wants to see more). If he hadn’t been such an idiot (and such an asshole) he could’ve had a really powerful ship. Sucks to be him lol.

Anyway. Man, I love her. So much. I love how Gordon’s threats to kill her don’t work on her, and I love that the show basically said “Bela killing her abusive parents is good, actually” (I’m so tired of forgiveness narratives, you guys. This entire show is founded on revenge, so let me get my revenge fantasies in peace!!) xDD. And I love, LOVE that she withheld that truth from Dean, that she decided he wasn’t worth it. OTOH, you know, fuck the fans that got her written out, definitely; but on the other, I do love how her story ended (and that it was a clear "fuck you" to shitty fans). Doesn’t stop me for wanting to read and re-read (and maybe write!) even more “Bela escapes hell” fix-its, but still.

Also, very important question: what happened to her cat?? It’s the cat alright?? I’m going to headcanon that she left them with that cougar friend of hers lol.

-So. THE DEAL. Okay. Oof. I love this storyline, a lot. A loooot. I love the conflict it creates between the brothers (as long as there’s still conflict and Sam hasn’t yet started taking everything lying down I can enjoy that part of their narrative lol). I love Dean’s initial forced giddiness about “making the most out of his last year” and I love the moment Dean decides he does want to try to live because it makes the last few episodes all the most desperate and cruel (and hey, I’ve heard he only went to hell because the season was cut short due to a writers’ strike... if that’s true that’s so funny lmao).

My absolutely favourite part however? That you can FEEL Dean’s unvoiced resentment towards Sam. For Dean having to die for him, even if Sam never asked him to. He lashes out to Sam repeatedly through the season, but it really came to ahead in the dreamspace episode, where Dean confronts another version of himself that talks about how Sam was “dotted on” (the revisionism asldfkaf). This show is absolutely ruthless when it comes to showing you its characters’ ugly, unfair reactions to things and it’s my favourite thing evah.

Speaking of the dreamspace episode, OMFG. I loved both brothers there. Dean’s hallucination, seeing himself as a demon? And how he let out his anger about John?? Beautiful, truly (regarding John, I also loved their different reactions when it looked like his spirit had contacted them: Dean jumping on it and Sam detached skepticism). But my favourite part has to be when Sam uses the villain’s abusive father against him. Like. Damn. That was cold-blooded o.0

The second-to-last episode, when Sam tracked down that Frankenstein doctor to try and make Dean immortal was ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING OMG. I loved that. I love that Sam wanted to use it for both them. It was some scary shit. I also love the scene where the crossroads demon questions whether Sam really wants to break the deal, I’m gathering it’s going to be nice foreshadowing later on in the show lol.

Anyway. I also found Dean’s death scene more impactful than Sam’s. Partially because of the horror of it, but mostly because I think at this type of scenes, Padalecki is better. Sam’s grief felt more real, Dean’s got me out of the scene (it’s the voice, I think. Sometimes Ackles’ voice takes me out of scenes, it sounds... forced).

I also really enjoyed how the time loop episode wrapped around this subplot. It managed to be both heartbreaking and mind-numbly hilarious lmfao. Like?? All the deaths?? Were so pathetic?? I tip my hat to Ackles because I don’t think most actors could carry plots like this half as well lmfao.

Sidenote, it’s always a trip to see The Trickster God knowing that fucker is Gabriel. Archangel “hey Mary do you accept God knocking you up” Gabriel. Which I guess isn’t exactly a thing in this show?? Since according to the wikia SPN Jesus was “just a man” (and let me tell you, I’m tickled pink by the fact that out of ALL mythological figures, specifically all CHRISTIAN mythological figures, the show decided to go “nah” on Jesus Christ. I mean, I guess he’d take away from Dean’s, Sam’s and Castiel’s resurrection narratives, but still. It’s so funny!!).

-Gordon Walker remains a superbly acted and fascinating character with extra racist nonsense alsdkfjasdf. But I can’t deny I loved seeing him as a vampire. He was terrifying. And I’m definitely shipping him with Kubrick, ouch xD

-The Ghostfacers episode is... something. As in, incredibly exploitative and homophobic and with an egregious case of BYG (and the first where I’d say it’s incontestable to claim the trope was used. s1 and s2 are muddy territory given the circumstances, IMO, but this one is 300% BYG), but so successfully manipulative my heart hurt for Corbett and Corbett x Ed still. Fuck them for that ngl. I do still enjoy how anti-Winchesters they all are though xD

-3x01 introduces the one nice marriage of hunters so far, between a black couple. The man dies in a gross, horrifying way within the episode ofc (because he was Mean to the the brothers duh). She makes it out alive, and since she doesn’t reappear in the show she gets to live. So for now black women have a sliiiiiightly better track record in SPN than track guys there: they get to appear in a few more episodes and be more fleshed out (Victor, Gordon), but as long as they’re only in one episode they get to live!! (Cassie, Tamara).

-Rufus and Bobby are exes, right? Right?? Probably still married in some state? You know that post about how when gay marriage was legalized across the USA there were a lot of issues because some couples had split and never bothered to divorce, since it was only legal in one place? That post was made for them. Pity Rufus is a black man, and as such has a limited number of allowed appearances before he’s killed off ¬¬

-I would’ve enjoyed Dean’s moments with Lisa and Ben more (it’s just so RIGHT that in this moment he’d want Ben to be his) if my knowledge of future spoilers didn’t perpetually have me in a state of “pls keep this guy away from kids” lol.

-They had Harmony’s actress (BTVS) and they made her a vampire!! The show’s hard on for the Buffyverse is a bit of a hit and miss but I can’t say I don’t relate xDD.

-I know Jensen Ackles can sing (in fact thanks to youtube I know a few of the actors can... is there a musical episode. Does this show have its own OMWF. I need to know). So why. WHY. Does he sound like that during “Dead or Alive”??? I actually like the scene but he sounds so off-key lmao.

-BTW, I found out that apparently Katie Cassidy and Lauren Cohan originally auditioned for each other’s roles añslkdfjasf. I can’t picture it. Ruby 1.0 is Ruby 1.0 and Bela is Bela xD. Although I’ve seen each playing roles that could meld with the other, just. Nope. Good choice on the casting there lol.

What do you think Loki would think of Kilgrave (from the tv series)? Would Loki be immune to his powers? How could Loki cheat and defeat Kilgrave?

This question has been sitting in my ask box (among others - sorry, anon :/) for probably a couple of months and I think about answering it at least once a week and I haven’t answered it yet bc I have no idea how to express how flaily I am at the idea of Loki encountering Kilgrave (believe it or not, I never thought about it before! Loki teaming up with Jessica, yes, but not crossing paths with Kilgrave.).

I also don’t know how to answer this lmfao, I have no idea. 

Well, I have a lot of ideas, but how accurate and/or in-character they are remains to be seen. .

Idk, buckle up. 

Under the cut bc it’s super long and I’m sure only like three people care about this. 

What do you think Loki would think of Kilgrave (from the tv series)? 

I don’t know if there’s a word that would encompass what Loki would feel toward Kilgrave. I think that there’s a number of things he would think, none of them particularly flattering. I think that the most succinct way to put it would be that Loki would think Kilgrave - basic, is the only thing I can think of. A basic bitch. 

I say that for a number of reasons and it’s not that I think Loki would think Kilgrave isn’t a threat. Kilgrave is evil. Kilgrave is irredeemable evil; there’s no redemption arc, no coming back from the things he’s done. He doesn’t want to come back from the things he’s done. 

It isn’t just that he mind controls people, and it isn’t just that he kills people. It’s the way he feels (or doesn’t feel) about it. 

Kilgrave could be a sociopath. (I don’t know enough about the diagnostic criteria to say that he definitely is, and on tumblr dot com, I feel like I need to disclaim that right off the bat. I’m not armchair diagnosing here.) There’s no empathy in him, no remorse for any of his actions, no inclination to do the right thing. It’s the exact opposite: Kilgrave’s particular brand of villainy is rooted in this purely sadistic need for power over others - quite literally. 

He doesn’t just want his victims to hurt or kill themselves. He wants them to do it as painfully as possible. He wants them to suffer, and he wants them to keep on suffering even after he’s no longer there to enjoy it. 

An example: Kilgrave uses his powers to hustle a ton of money in a poker game, and one of the players confronted him. Kilgrave told him to “see how long it takes to put your head through that post,” and the poor guy goes over and is just slamming his head repeatedly into the post, long after Kilgrave leaves. This is a particularly horrifying aspect of Kilgrave’s ability: the person isn’t freed from the mind-control after Kilgrave is no longer there, and it’s not the kind of mind-control that can be broken with “a really hard hit to the head.” The victims physically and mentally cannot stop doing what he told them to do, either until the thing is complete, or they literally die trying.

It’s brutal and perverse. But it’s significant to note that Kilgrave doesn’t hurt/kill everyone he mind controls. Whether or not he decides to make someone suffer seems to depend on 1) how useful they can be to him, and 2) whether he feels like it or not. There’s little rhyme or reason. He will mind control someone to give him their cell phone, mind control a second person to throw a cup of scalding coffee in their face, and mind control a third person to cut their own hands off, and all three of these things seem to be the same to him. He doesn’t see making someone cut off their own hands any worse than making someone give up their cell phone. He’s not any more horrified by it, and he doesn’t even think about it long enough to attempt to feel any real remorse. 

In this manner, Kilgrave mind controls, torments, kidnaps, rapes, maims, and kills his victims and doesn’t give it a second thought. He forgets them forever once he’s done with them. (What makes Jessica the exception is a whole other meta.) He’s motivated by the feeling that having power and control over other human beings gives him. He’s motivated by feeling invincible, and will do whatever he can to maintain that sense of invincibility. 

These things make Kilgrave terrifying as a villain, both to his victims as well as to the audience. What makes him a particularly formidable villain for the series is that Jessica is literally the only one who can stop him. He loses his ability to control her, and she’s strong enough to take him down. She’s the only real threat to him. When one is surrounded by regular human beings who are completely helpless to this brand of mind control, it raises the stakes and frames him as a villain you are going to be scared of. Ymmv, but I mean, I certainly wouldn’t want to cross paths with Kilgrave on the street. 

So why is he a basic bitch? 

Loki may consider all of these things, and he may further be mildly horrified if he actually saw what Kilgave does to some of his victims (’mildly’ because we don’t know what Loki’s threshold is; who knows what kind of Fucked Up Shit he’s seen by now), and he would conclude that while Kilgrave is certainly a threat in his own, human context, there’s nothing about him that differentiates him from any other would-be villain out there. There’s nothing compelling about him; there’s nothing that sets him apart. His powers are the only thing that make him significantly more threatening than any other human serial killer who kidnaps, rapes, and kills for no reason other than that sheer need for power and control over a victim. 

I mean, Loki’s opinion of the humans is pretty low to start with. When Thor says, “you consider yourself above them,” and Loki is like, “um yes?” - I don’t believe that’s a response that had anything to do with the scepter’s influence and everything to do with the culture in which he and Thor were raised. Odin compares Jane being on Asgard to a goat being at a banquet table. The W4 mention “throwing around a little lightning and they see us as gods” (paraphrase). Loki grew up in a world that is both physically and scientifically millenia beyond humanity, and as a prince besides (which grants him a level of privilege above even other Asgardians). It’s only natural, I think, that he would see the humans as lesser-than his own people. 

If Loki encountered Ted Bundy on the street, he’d not be overly impressed. Likewise, Kilgrave is not overly impressive to him. In the most general “here’s my reaction,” sense, Loki thinks that Kilgrave is what we would call a basic bitch. It’s similar to how he used his last breath to tell Thanos, “You’ll never be a god.” The implication being, you may have power, and you may be frightening, but there is nothing about you that is truly remarkable and there never will be, no matter how hard you try. 

That all said, if we dig a little deeper, I think that Kilgrave would give Loki a lot to think about, in a way? Kilgrave suffered through medical experimentation in order to get his powers, and Loki isn’t a stranger to torture. And I think that, in a comparative sense, Loki would be somewhat reassured at the fact that he finds Kilgrave’s actions appalling. Even going through whatever torture Loki went through, he didn’t turn out like Kilgrave. Kilgrave does things that Loki would never do. (The mind control aside, but to be fair, it wasn’t entirely Loki’s choice to do that.) 

Loki doesn’t enjoy violence just for the sake of it. He takes no pleasure in hurting or killing anyone and, in fact, seemed kind of repelled by it (does anyone else notice how Loki rarely looks at his foe when doing the violent thing?). Loki would never kidnap or rape anyone, and certainly not just to feel power over another person. He would never inflict torture, either. 

I say this fairly confidently because the consistent thing about all the misdeeds Loki has done is that they’re internally motivated. Loki’s desire for power isn’t rooted in the need to victimize others; it’s rooted in this deep-seated self-loathing that has him convinced that power - not just any power, but the power to be a king - is the only way he will ever have any worth. 

He never wanted to rule Asgard. I don’t believe he wanted to rule Midgard, either. It’s like Loki is seeking the illusion of power more than the actual power itself. He wants the worthiness and the validation; he wants to be taken seriously. He wants his own abilities, specifically his magic, to be revered as any other warrior’s skill. He just wants to be seen. 

So I think on some level that Loki, when confronted with bone-deep, unapologetic, irredeemable villainy (for lack of a better word) would think, I could have been worse. Thank the norns I’m not worse. 

Again, I may be completely off-base or wildly out of character - idk, I revised this like 12 times. But this is just my idea of what Loki would think of Kilgrave and I hope, if nothing else, it was interesting to read. 

Would Loki be immune to his powers? 

Yes. This is another thing that contributes to how Loki sees Kilgrave; his powers aren’t a threat to him personally. This is because Kilgrave’s ability is a virus. 

According to Kilgrave’s Wikia: 

Kilgrave’s abilities are due to “a virus that he emits through microparticles in the air. His power was revealed to be a side-effect of the viral treatment used to cure his childhood degenerative disease. His ability is always active as he cannot stop his body from producing the virus and anyone within his immediate proximity is affected” (Source). 

Now, I’m no scientist, but my takeaway from this is that, because Kilgrave’s powers are literally a virus, and said viruses (viri?) have this effect on the humans around him, someone with alien biological insides (Asgardian or Jotun, for that matter) would likely not be affected in the same way, if at all. 

It’s like how ebola or HIV (or covid, ugh), is potentially deadly to humans because of the way our cells respond to the virus cells. Someone who isn’t human wouldn’t have that same response. Of course, it’s entirely possible that a different effect could occur, or even possibly the virus could affect an alien but the reaction wouldn’t be as strong or overpowering. There’s no way to know for sure but, my limited understanding of science-y things leads me to believe that Kilgrave’s ability would be useless on anyone who wasn’t human.  (As a matter of fact, I think that it’s revealed that Jessica was able to break free from the control because she’s enhanced and her biology is different, but I’d have to watch those episodes again.) 

How could Loki cheat to defeat Kilgrave? 

Considering the above answer, there would be no need for Loki to cheat; Kilgrave’s abilities wouldn’t work on him, which leaves him powerless while Loki maintains his arsenal of magic, along with the whole super-strength thing. Loki would probably just have to hit him a few times to take him out. 

I’m sorry this is so long, but I really appreciate the question! Thank you! I hope that this was a decent answer overall.

Truth Comes to Light

Since I was a teenager, I was subjected to abuse by men who manipulated me to trust them.

*This is not an “anti-men” spew/blog. There are women involved, too. But the fact is, these men hurt me, manipulated me, gaslit me, groomed me, and then slandered my reputation with no consequences because no one gave a fuck about that kind of thing 10 years ago. I have spoken with justice departments for the past abuse, I was told I could file a report and have it “on hand” if these people continue to bother me/slander me/gangstalk me. I deleted the evidence, because when I tried to make police reports when these incidents first happened, I was blown off, laughed at, and ignored, by people who are suppose to protect teenagers from predatory adults, and trauma in general. I deleted the evidence because i got sick of being reminded of the pain...if I had hindsight and knew these people would continue to torment me, I would’ve kept it. Never delete anything. And to the 14-15 year olds out there thinking they’re special for talking to an older man...he is using you, he will leave you broken, with no care for you. Do not fall for the grooming and manipulation.

I will not be naming names. For the sole purpose of

1. These people will come across this blog, and know its about them.

2. I am not speaking to them, I am speaking to their souls...if there is any left present.

3. I do not want to fuel their fire. They can feel free to get mad about this, and expose themselves. They will not receive anymore of my energy.

4. If something happens to me, this is public information. The proper Justice Departments know the names of these people. I do not need the internet to go after them.

5. I am not out to ruin their lives. All I ask is they own up to what they’ve done/are doing TO THEMSELVES and STOP doing it. They are ruining their own lives just fine, they are miserable which is why they harass me and continue to try and steal my energy and tear my life down. These people have left their friends to die of ODs, they do not want to be exposed, it is their greatest fear.

When I was 15 years old, I met a guy at a local show through friends. He was pretty popular amongst the ladies, but I wasn’t into him like that. I saw him as a big brother, and he even agreed. One day he offered me to hangout, I accepted. When we got to his house, he kissed me and I didn’t really know how to react. Then it turned into making out, which turned into him fingering me. It all happened very quickly. I told him I was uncomfortable, and he knew I am a virgin and I don’t want my first time to be like this. He didn’t believe me. He over-powered me, bent me over, and raped me. He only stopped when he saw blood, and realized what he’d done. This man threatened my life if I went to the police. He was 20. I was 15. Of course I believed him. This man now has a wife and a child. I wish I had gone to the police, and still regret it to this day. I did confront this man before I got off social media. He told me some man I literally never met, told him that he took my virginity. I quickly realized this man I had never met was a scapegoat for his actions. When I called him out on it, he blocked me. I never told anyone about this, besides recently told a trusted friend, and then contacted authorities to see if there was anything that could be done/if evidence could be salvaged. You know who you are. Admit what you did. And stop slandering me. YOU made the choice to do what you did. I told you to STOP, NO, STOP, NO, I AM A VIRGIN, STOP.

Later in the year, I met a senior who went to my school. He was new, and came from another state. I hungout with older people most of the time, so we ended up chatting. I had a really big crush on him. He was 19 years old. We were in the same friend group on some occasions, and ended up clicking and exchanging numbers at one point. He told me he liked me, and wanted to be with me “but he could go to prison”. We did exchange photos during that time. 3 months before I turned 16, we began officially dating, or so I thought. It turns out, this man never told anyone we dated. When I made it public on my myspace page(lmfao) His Ex girlfriend flipped out on both me, and him, and threatened to send him to jail. He then told me we could “date in secret”...he was hooking up with girls his age the whole time. While making me out to look like a crazy, obsessed “little girl”. Well, you slept with me. You admitted to me that you used me. You even made a tumblr post about me how I was like a “dead fish in bed” because I had told all the girls you fucked behind my back what you were doing to me. I took this guy to New York...I never held his age over his head...I never wanted to cause him any pain. Literally, all I had for this man was “love”, really a stupid girl crush, but at the time it was my perception of “love”. It wasn’t until he made the tumblr post, that I threatened to go to the police, and its because I was horrified he’d made our sexual acts public...let alone sexual actions with a minor. This man then guilt tripped me into how his “life would be ruined” if I were to go to the police. Recently, his friends..who I didn��t know at first were his friends...started drama on the internet..they then doxxed my home address and phone number and called me threatening me under the false guise of one of their boyfriends being a police officer, when he is not (thats a felony btw...oof) If you are reading this, please leave me alone. You caused me a lot of trauma when I realized the truth about “us”, you caused me a lot of trauma when you made that tumblr post about me and made me out to look like a whore. I “loved” you, in a stupid teenager way. You knew I was struggling with God, you knew I was struggling with my family members death, and you sunk your claws into me, and to this day refuse to admit to others what you have done to me, hence your friends targeting and harassing me. You, are a sick coward. I don’t even want you to admit anything, at this point. I just want you to fuck off and eventually burn in Hell like you’ve always gloated about doing. Also seems like your literal, self-proclaimed, witch wife is sucking out the remnants of your soul, anyways. I hope this paragraph gives you a panic attack, karmas a bitch.

When I was 16, one of my friends joined a local band. I did date the one member for about 2 weeks, but he lived in a different state and we never actually hungout, so because of this we broke up. I still saw them at local shows, and my friend was still in the band. I assumed we were all friends/acquaintances, whatever. One day around 5-6PM, the one guy texts me and invites me out to a local show, he is covering for the drummer in his friends band. He assured me everyone else would be there, and he could give me a ride home. Once I arrived, he told me their set was over and tossed his bracelet on to the ground, and told me to “pick it up if I wanted to get in for free”. I asked him if that was a joke, and he said no. Things got very awkward, and tense..and they told me they wanted to get going. They then tell me, if I want a ride home, I would have to give them both blowjobs. I thought it was a joke. Until they actually left me there. Two weeks later, the one guy names a song after me, and told everyone it was about me. This song, was not written about me and was written about the lead singers ex girlfriend of the other band. I want to thank the vocalist for owning up to the truth, as he thought it was disgusting, too. The drummer, gave it a malicious name intertwining with mine as retaliation of me rejecting him. The bands involved in this were _______ pending legal consequences* I am also speaking to a lawyer about suing for slander, sexual harassment, endangerment of a minor (the one guy was 18), and emotional/mental abuse. If you guys are reading this, enjoy being extradited to my state for court. Once/If that is settled I will be posting their full names and court documents. If you are reading this, and want to avoid court, admit to what you have done. I will not hold it over your head in a legal manner. I will accept your apology, as long as you make it public like you made my slander and harassment and trauma, I had to relive that night everytime someone mentioned that band title. You two, hurt me that night. You knowingly lured me out to a show, in attempts to get sexual favors from me so I could get a ride home. The friends I met with after you left me for saying No, have also written statements against you both. The choice is yours.

I will stop here for tonight. For the next story is a long, complicated rollercoaster.

To give you a summary:

I met this man in 9th grade, and we were on & off from my sophomore year until late 2016, when I finally left him for becoming physically abusive. It is a long, long story. To this day, he attempts to torment me, and literally gang stalks me through his groupies, who are mostly women (jezebels)

Read my stories. Share them. Learn from them. Don’t do what I did. If you ever come across people like this, cut them off with no explanation. These people will gaslight you, manipulate you, torment you, feed you drugs, and try and drive you to suicide. They will do everything they possibly can to not be exposed once you see who they truly are,so don’t let them know you know, and just quietly walk away.

apple, auburn, burgundy, jam, scarlet, vermillion

hell yea thank you for t-pose throwing this dagger at me lmao

apple: favourite fruit?

i think mangos are Objectively the best fruit but in terms of what i have more often....raspberries and blackberries are good......oranges are pretty solid and it’s like, great, vitamin c.......can’t get that enthused about bananas coz they’re just kinda like, Shrug, but it’s like okay great i appreciate this opportunity to eat a Staple......strawberries / cherries are pretty good when they’re good, right, brilliant concept there lol but you know. applesauce is good but i’m not usually that hyped about apples lol like if they’re at all on the [soft / grainy] area of the spectrum it’s kind of a chore.

auburn: favourite animal?

i like both cats and birds a lot.......i guess Domesticated Cats is a solid answer but i like many animals

burgundy: are you punny?

yeah lol mostly in person, would break it out with (or at) my siblings a decent amount......and i guess also always enjoy Wordplay beyond puns and like, am gonna point it out if i notice it / will probably break it out if i think of it. i also have Never experienced the idea of like, puns being Bad or lowkey frustrating or whatever. i think they’re either Neutral or genuinely funny in part Because you gotta reach for it / really make it obvious you’re Goofing Around and lean into it, and i always think that’s truly Humorous. i like when ppl make it obvious they’re Doing A Bit and commit to it a nonzero amount. and i like puns and will think them up myself yeah

jam: favourite flavour of jam/jelly?

raspberry jam

scarlet: space or ocean?

we love the respective winston / tayston associations w/ both these symbolic-ass concepts lmao......and it’s fun coz i’ve Had specific interest in both, not to say i’m Uninterested now, but it’s like, all us out here going “i should be a marine biologist or smthing” back in the day, i def considered “should do space something or other someday?” at some point, and enjoyed learning shit about both topics a fair amount.......and again i’m not now Uninterested or whatever, it’s just like, less [cool aesthetic, cool shit involved] and more like well they’re also both just kind of Big Soup Of Bullshit ft. a lot of space that’s occupied by Nothing except plankton or radiation or crap, and i hate a lot of the shit that lives in the ocean like look i respect what it is and that its not the ocean / the ocean biology’s fault that it’s nasty and heinous and stupid, same @ space and all the bullshit flying around there, but it’s like, okay you all stay over there and i’ll stay over here. and i can’t say that i’m like “boy i absolutely Should have been some kind of ocean biologist type person whatever / astrophysicist or whatever crap” like, not that into it. i’m following the twitter account for the webb telescope coz that’s the one project i give a crap about, we don’t need to be going to the moon or to mars but at the same time everyone stop going “we can shoot ppl into space but” or “we know more about the Moon than what’s in the ocean,” like, great. the more i know what’s in the ocean the more i resent it. gross ass bullshit........when it comes to more Superficial stuff like [looking at the night sky] or [being at the beach] both are fine. i’m always like trying to remember constellations and stars, but not That hard, b/c i know like half a dozen. the beach is kinda Overrated as like, the pinnacle of ~vacationing~ like, it’s fine, but w/e. i don’t love walking along and having to instinctively fling my leg out b/c a crab tried to grab on and im hurling it away, or wading into the water and hoping nothing touches me. not horrified by everything though, b/c a few times it’s been like “lets feel around for those sea slugs guys in shells” and once or twice a lil shark has visibly swum by and i’m sagely like “ah that’s fine. sharks were not really a concern until jaws freaked everyone out about it,” congratulations to me. also i once was like “should i look into taking up surfing” but didn’t and it probably wasn’t feasible and Whatever @ that. so right lmao i’m supposed to be choosing.......i guess Aesthetically i choose space because the night sky is always cool, just last night i was like “hey epic Phase Of The Moon (just barely Waning Crescent)” whereas like yeah really clear tropical shallows are neat to look at or wyland murals or w/e but nowadays i just think of the fact it’s nasty shit living in there and mostly like, the Dark Depths where i don’t care to be or think much about. giant isopods are pretty funny but everything else down there......christ. then i was gonna be like Ecosystem-wise gotta go with the ocean like s/o to its contributions to the global ecology but then i remembered that space has The Sun and everything so.....guess that wins as well. lots of fucked up shit in space like quasars and the high energy cosmic rays we don’t know the source/s of but at least that shit tends to be Definitely Not Around Here whereas everything in the ocean is too close for comfort and a lot of it is stuff we have real Visuals of and i'm not a fan. i also wouldn’t care too much to Visit either like, No Thanks to being an astronaut or doing any ocean exploration. but yeah still space kind of wins. not w/ much of my enthusiasm. i say all that but i’d probably get somewhat Emotional at the cosmos vangelis theme from having seen cosmos like 17 yrs ago and remembering v little or october sky just shooting some bottle rockets and crap........what would make me Em-ocean-al though......idk. space winning again, halfheartedly :/

vermillion: tell us a random fact about yourself

oh my god lmfao the difficulty of remembering Facts About Myself.........we’ll be here all day if i try to think of an answer but let’s just go with i’m either like 5′11″ or 6′0″ and just tall enough that when people encounter me they’re like “hey you’re tall” woohoo

Monster

Prompt; After swearing not to kill, he does it anyway (I can’t say more without giving away plot LMFAO)

Pairing(s); Negan x Reader (TWD)

Warning(s); fluffy at first and then it gets reaaal bloodyy, extremelyyy Gorey, and just Negan being Negan tbh

A/N; little drabble since I've been gone for so long :( ALSO SOMETHING NEW !! I had Negan feels after seeing JDM <3

He’s soooooo fine omfff

You smiled when you felt a familiar leather clad arm wrap around your middle, the scruff of his beard tickling your neck as he nuzzled closer to you. He took a whiff of your scent, the fresh perfume intoxicating his senses, making his senses blur momentarily. His hand skimmed over your curves and over your still growing belly, causing you to purr softly.

"Morning doll.." he whispered, the huskiness of his tone sent shivers down your spine. You continued to fold the few clothes that no longer could fit you in your current state, wearing only Negans shirt that also barely managed to reach your knees.

"Morning sweetheart" you cooed, reaching back to rub your dainty fingers across his stubble affectionately. He hummed, eyes lidded dangerously as he turned you to look up at him. His eyes left yours only to see how large your stomach had grown the past 6 months, his smile broadening.

“Anything new?” he looked up at you a rare blush making his face red to see you already staring down at him with a soft smile of your own. You shook your head gently as you leaned back a little against the bed to present your belly proudly.

“Nope, he’s being strangely good today,” you told him, linking your hands together over your bump. He smiled a little, his eyes a bit watery causing a worried look to cross your own features now.

“Whats wrong?” you cupped his face in your hand, his eyes slipping shut for a second before reopening.

“D-Do you think she’s happy, where she is?” he asked, his voice unrecognizably soft as he held your hand just a little tighter.

The question came as a surprise, but you instantly knew who he was talking about. You bit your lip, your eyes stung with tears but you held them back as you smiled as best you could.

“She’s getting the little brother she’s always wanted, I like to think she's extremely excited” he chuckled at your answer and leaned up to kiss you tenderly. A single tear dripped down your cheek but he caught it when he cupped your face in his larger hands.

“Me too.,” he whispered, his eyes locked on yours as you smiled softly to each other.

1:39 AM

‘Where the fuck is he..’ you thought angrily, glancing over at the bedside clock that continued to flash the red numbers at you.

You grunted, rolling a bit on your side to manage to push yourself up off the bed. The bedroom was dark, aside from the moonlight being your only source of light as you reached your hoodie at the end of the bed.

Swinging the door open you realized how the hall was abnormally quiet for a night like tonight. Usually, there was at least one man sitting at the door in case of anything, but when you looked the seat was empty. Your brows furrowed in confusion, stepping out into the hall you shut the door quietly behind you.

You checked a few rooms that usually occupied at least a few people, but no one was to be seen at all. You huffed, a bit scared but you continued to look.

You were finally getting tired and contemplating going back to bed when you heard it. His voice a few distances away,

‘the warehouse! why didn't I think of that?’ you sighed and began to hobble your way there. The closer you got, the clearer you could hear his voice, along with a few others. You walked into it warehouse to see it empty, but the door leading outside was wide open, the bright lights of the SUV’s blinding you. You felt sick suddenly, and you knew it wasn’t your usual sickies, no, it was your gut telling you to turn tail and run; but your brain was moving your legs forward.

Coming up to the doorway, you didn’t expect to see what you did.

“-he said suck my nuts!”

You watched in horror from the doorway of the warehouse as your husband rose Lucille high in the air, before bringing it down with such a force it caused the man's skull shatter. You wanted to scream, to rush up and stop him, but you were frozen in your place.

It didn’t help how he continued to do it, continued to beat on the man until his head was nothing but pieces of brain and blood staining the earth. You could hear the squelch, the final cracks of bone until he was beating nothing but the earth. Your hand flew to your mouth to hold back a gag, but you couldn’t find it in yourself to tear your eyes away.

The saviors were laughing while they watched their leader, and it made you sick seeing them smile so evilly. Especially since it was nothing but a show, one to prove to Rick and his 'family' exactly where they stood on the food chain. Dwight had a boastful smile on his face as he turned to look around at the sorry faces, only to have his smile immediately fade as he caught sight of you. His face paled once he saw the tears on your face, his own stomach dropping.

"Negan." He spoke sharply, cutting Negan off from his threats. Said man sent a harsh glare to his right hand, and if looks could kill he’d be dead.

"You wanna be next fucker?" He hissed, but Dwight didn't answer, didn't even look him in the eye as he kept his gaze focused on your trembling form. Negan rolled his eyes at this before he turned and froze.

“What’re you doing?” you whispered, holding onto the doorframe for support. Everything was silent, aside for a few sniffles from the people still kneeling on the ground. When you didn’t hear an answer, your eyes narrowed in on his.

“YN, listen..” he tried looking for an explanation for this, for the reason he’d broken your one promise; but nothing came out. You bit your lip, clutching your shirt, wanting to melt into the floor as all eyes focused on you, but you could only concentrate on him.

“You lied to me..” were the only words your brain could form. Your hands went down to your belly as if to protect your baby from him, from the man who’d sworn to protect you. Only now you couldn’t see that man, the father of your children, the man you’d fallen in love with since you were both just teenagers causing trouble.

“YN-” you shook your head, completely horrified as you looked around at the scene again. The man that laid dead, another’s face scratched bloody from the barbed wire. The rest who still kneeled on their knees were crying, fear clear all over them as they begged with their eyes for your help.

“No, no... you’re not my husband... you're a monster” you snarled the last part, glaring darkly at him through your tears. He could feel his heart breaking in his chest when you stepped back from him when he reached out for you. He’d hadn’t seen that look of fear in your eye since... since Lucille...

"YN- wait, no this is just–" he laughed breathlessly, but the humor was no longer in the air. You shook your head again and took another step back. His face was filled with fear as you took, even more, steps away from him. He knew what this meant, but he’d be damned if he went through that again.

When you both lost Lucille, I’d broken the both of you. Watching your baby girl get torn apart by walkers was your biggest nightmare come true. That was his, being seeing you leave him, seeing another light in his darkness go out would kill him.

So when you turned and ran, ran for the room you both now no longer shared, he didn’t run after you. He stood there, in the center of all his men, and continued to stare at the spot where you once occupied. He thought about what you’d say, how you’d scream at him and call him a monster until his ears bleed.

He thought he’d felt nothing but fake pain until now. Hearing how you felt, hearing what he truly was, a monster... Just how you’d manage to rip his heart out of his chest and smash it better, and far worse than he ever could to someone's skull. At this, his grip tightened on the bat until they turned his knuckles white.

“..so back to it” in full swing, he turned.

I don’t know why I do this, but I love it so much

Gintama manga chaps 621 - 622

Dear Gintama gods and Sorachi-sama,

I must confess, when the men of Kabukichou showed up, I was a teeny tiny bit disappointed because as I mentioned before, I sincerely wanted the women to bring down Triceratops on their own. Part of the reason why I was so devastated that Kyuubei was defeated was because I know that diminished the odds of the ladies winning by a great percentage. Kagura could probably bring down the Dakini monster if she really went for it, but I know this fight does not belong to her or even the Yorozuya really. Rather, the fight for Kabukichou belongs to the townspeople so I completely understand why Katsuo, Kyoushirou and Kozenigata would join in, and they were indeed a welcome sight.  

Not to mention, having Pirako and Jirochou show up as well easily banished any minute feelings of disappointment I might have had. I remember we caught a glimpse of their footwear chapters ago but I was still pleasantly surprised when they finally turned up, with Jirochou making such a cool entrance too.  

As if their presence wasn't enough of a soothing salve, you actually took an extra step to still recognize just how great the ladies are through Jirochou's totally awesome speech about why the men need to constantly prove themselves.  That warmed my heart to no end. In a lesser series, the men would have just rescued the helpless women and that would have been the end of that, no explanation needed. I really appreciate that you took the additional effort to provide a justification for why the men were now stepping in as well.

Of course in addition to the men Pirako has now also joined the fight and I cannot wait to see how much stronger she's gotten under the tutelage of her father. If one Dakini leader is already that formidable, and he's still very much in the game, I fear how much worse the battle will be now that the Shinra have joined in.  Actually, the more I think about it, the more my fear becomes specifically focused on Jirochou since dramatically speaking, this would be the best time for him to meet a hero's end. Please don't misunderstand, I am not at all wishing for his death as Pirako would be devastated and I would cry my eyes out for her loss, but at the same time, I cannot say I would be surprised if that is the route you end up taking for him. After all, nothing raises the stakes and solemnity of the proceedings like the death of a character we care about.

I am also saying that with the assumption and fervent hope that Kyuu-chan will not be the character you will choose to sacrifice because I honestly found it quite distressing that she remained unconscious throughout these past two chapters. I might be scared about Jirochou's well-being, but I am frankly sick with worry and horrified about Kyuu-chan's condition. I need to see her wake up soon. Please let her wake up soon and assure us she was not completely destroyed by Ougai's brutal attack.  

Yours truly,

A silly fangirl with yaoi dreams

(^3^)

PS: I just had to include this because I almost did a spit-take with my own saliva. I guessed Pirarin was probably a pun for something else, and sure enough when I looked it up, I was directed to Pururin, a hentai reader. Lmfao.
