#maybe theyre dead and there was no one else to take on their role and thats why blaze has so much responsibility at such a young age?

you know i do wonder how many sonic characters actually have living parents. like knuckles is the last of his kind so obviously his parents arent around anymore. both guys who could be considered shadows dads are 100 percent confirmed dead. sonic is canonically an orphan im pretty sure. and on the other side of the coin cream is like the only character in the game cast who has a living parent we actually see onscreen. but what about everyone else i dont think theres a straight answer for any other character. other than rouge's mom being mentioned a couple times i Guess but we dont even know anything about her or if shes still alive just that she existed at some point. are these kids constantly putting themselves in danger because they dont have parents around to stop them or because their parents just dont care
#like what about tails. im guessing he didnt have any sort of family he was attached to if he left to be with sonic so quickly#but that doesnt really mean he didnt have parents at all. maybe he had parents and they just sucked i dont know#what about amy. what if she had parents this whole time we just never see them.#what about blaze. considering shes a princess id assume she was born into that role#but i dont know if her parents are ever actually mentioned#maybe theyre dead and there was no one else to take on their role and thats why blaze has so much responsibility at such a young age?#silver . he was born in a wet cardboard box all alone i cant really imagine him hvaing parents sorry#considering charmy is 6 and living with vector. an adult whos obviously not his biological dad.#i feel like something probably happened to charmys parents#espio i dont really question as much#becuase it feels very common in the sonic universe for teenagers to have more freedom than would be expected in real life#or maybe its not that common and the teenagers we're actually following are just living the most fucked up lives ever. i dotn know#but either way. espio where are your parents buddy. are they still alive. vector where are YOUR parents are they still alive#i dont know if i actually want canon explanations for all this though#because its kinda fun not knowing every detail about every characters life and being able to speculate and insert your headcanons n stuff#to be clear im talking about game canon#i know stuff like archie sonic and the sonic movies and the 90s cartoons will sometimes give characters new family members#or talk about their family situation even if the games dont say anything about that sort of thing

im just thinking what if mike schmidt is the son of the movie's equivalent of henry emily. i had this thought on the way home from the movie at like. 10 pm so at the time it was incoherrent, but im going to expand on it here.
point 1- garrett played a similar role to charlie emily, in that despite being watched over they were both killed by william afton.
p2- in the flashbacks, its very obvious that the entire family is in a place away from society. they're literally in a forest. it wouldn't make sense for william of all people to be there if he wasn't close to the family.
p3- the books and the game mirror eachother, so there is a chance that schmidt could be another fake name, one william recognized because, again, he was a family friend.
p4-what happens when your kid goes missing? idk probaly witness protection or an urge to seperate yourself from the incident, both reasons for the name change.
p5-(kinds joke reason) abby rhymes with charlie and looks similar to her (brown hair, brown eyes)
p6-i argue that abby also took on the role of the puppet/charlie at the end of the movie. she didn't necessarily give them life, not like what was done in the game, she shoeed them how they died. she reminded the children of the life they had before, and of who really took it. by doing that, in a way, she gave them that life back. she gave them their real personality back, one not influenced by william. she cut them from his influence, she gave them the gift (the picture) and it gave them life (their memories)
p7- in the movie, mike says his father 'couldnt deal with it' and left after his mother died. yk what that sounds similar to? book henry emily killing himself in despair. maybe mike's dad is alive maybe he's dead, we dont know. but it is similar enough, an act of completely removing himself from the equation.
p8-book henry has a sister named jen, yk what name that sounds like? jane. who was mike and abby's aunt, and we dont know which parent she was related to.
p9-'but wouldn't mike know about the pizzaria if william was a family friend?' honestly, probably. but theres also a high chance that he wouldnt. if the family lived in nebraska, (which im pretty sure they did) they wouldn't have a need to go to utah, not even for a friend's restaurant. sure, he might know that his dad's friend had a restaurant, but not that it had animatronics or anything. the family probaly moved to utah after garrett's disappearance and after freddy's closed down.
p10-'wouldn't mike know vanessa? theyre similar in age' if they didnt live in the same state, probaly not. william in the movie was a, suprise suprise, shitty father, even foregoing the stabbing of his kid. i doubt hed care enough to take her with him on like. a short out of state trip.
p11(edit)- in the books aunt jane was killed by evil charlie to get to charlie, yk what that sounds like? the animatronics killing aunt jen to get to charlie
p12(edit)-the words at the end of the movie say 'come find me' and the music playong at the end is the puppets song so i think garrett is the puppet which is. again. an emily thing
p13(edit)- mikes dad looks like a mechanic shown in the training videos [cough henry emily cough]
if i think of anything else ill add it but anywys this is why i think the schmidts in the movie are the emilys equivalent. also check out the notes on this post because theres a lot of replies n reblogs that support my theory

where everyone from glee ends up in the beautiful beautiful better canon that exists in my head (ft. help from @girlmeetsghoul)
this got... really long so i'm putting it under a keep reading
rachel — broadway. obviously. does NOT marry jesse but they do date again and perhaps even get engaged and they remain in weird toxic kinda gay love for the rest of their lives on the downlow. she ends up getting married at around 40 to someone else (if young rachel berry knew she wouldn't get married until FOURTY!!!). also on/off dates finn for many years. it is a much more dramatic deal to her than it is to him he's relatively chill about it albeit confused and passionate. she is characteristically a drama queen. ends up in nyc
finn — i do think he ends up an educator in the burbs like they actually were dead on w that one i don't think he'd do glee or anything but teacher fs. realizes he's bisexual at age 32 while married to a woman so it's a revelation that he can't really act on but it gives rachel an existential crisis when she hears abt it which is funny. part of this revelation does come from one of his students being gay and on the football team and finn having a troy bolton moment of realizing you can do both. ends up in a suburb of chicago
kurt  — stanley tucci in devil wears prada. also he expats in berlin for like a year or two. dates an accountant. ends up in nyc
mercedes — canon, absolute worldwide singing star. glee did very few things right when it came to mercedes but having her be a successful singer was correct. ends up w someone famous in their own right but in a Very different way than her like her fans do not know who that person is. ends up in LA
brittana — they don't stay together after high school but they do reconnect a little later after santana has a freakout crisis and drops out of school (canon) but instead of moving to ny and doing all that she moves to LA and ends up as the world's craziest talent agent. and britt runs a dispo and does goat yoga. end up in LA
blaine — okay the first thing you have to know about me is i am a blam truther forever and always. anyway blaine goes to nyu not nyada and most of that drama with kurt happens just to a much lesser extent cuz theyre not at school together so he does end up graduating, maybe takes a gap year in the middle tho. but also blaine starts getting really into local politics and after a few off off off bway roles that don't really lead to anything bigger and a lot of stressful fighting w kurt he decides actually he wants his new goal in life to be becoming a city council member. he and kurt still have the world's best most toxic insane person on/off relationship until theyre like 28 and then a blam romcom ensues. nyc til early/mid 30s, then he and sam move to the burbs (potentially in the state sam grew up in?) to raise a kid
sam — bumpy twisty turny road for him, feels like he should go to college/should want to go to college but does not want to go. wanders around lima for a year or two getting by and trying to find his #purpose and moves to nyc essentially on a whim after a phone call w blaine and is like hi i live in your house now. maybe the modeling thing for a bit? but less weird than in the show. some samcedes for a bit bc i am a fucking sucker for them <3 anyway eventually sam becomes a comix artist. he meets gerard way and doesnt know who he is and tina wants to throttle him about this. nyc til early/mid 30s, then he and blaine move to the burbs (potentially in the state sam grew up in?) to raise a kid
tina — kiki and i have such a beautiful tina in our brains anyway she makes some kind of awful art that sells way better than it should and becomes a trophy wife to a hot lesbian doctor and also once or twice collabs w sam on smth. no one knows what degree she got from brown even she's not entirely sure. stoner. fucks rachel's co-star at some point and it gives rachel 1000000 problems. ends up in nyc
quinn — academia (english) or law. the only ppl she has talked to from hs since graduation are cedes and brittana and she is so happy to not give a single shit about anyone else. i love you quinn go get lesbian married and write a book. i can't get into the one (1) time rachel and quinn see each other post canon cuz that would be a whole other post but trust me i have many thoughts on that. ends up somewhere almost rural in the northeast but not Too far from a city if that makes sense
mike — does the dance thing, i think probably hes on some tours which means blaine and sam have to put up with tina on the phone w him for hours giving him life updates like every single day (theyre not dating anymore obv but they are besties also there's like one year where blamtina are all living together i have an insane amount of headcanon lore dont worry abt it). gets married to the most normal person in the world and sometimes casually drops lore about highschool and his partner is like i dont think the midwest is a real place. ends up right outside of nyc
artie — director ofc. like mike ends up w someone in the same industry who is relatively normal but also like so obviously grew up in santa monica and was a child actor. ends up in LA
puck — travels a bit to ~find himself~, ends up back in lima doing a relatively normal job and settles down w a wife and becomes the most intense guy at the pta. his ass is organizing bake sales up the wazoo. as mentioned ends up back in lima

random thoughts
dead dove do not eat
i love marvbruh and you should love them too
theyre so perfect for each other, absolutely made for each other.
the love they have is so unique and unlike any other.
i love making zebruh a pathetic, whiny loser with loads of sexual trauma and assault to deal with, him coping in unhealthy ways and making it worse for himself to handle.
i really love zebruh and i want him to be happy just as much as i want him to he miserable.
ive written, role played, and read about marvus nonconing zebruh and it makes sense to me. i see the vision and i go with it, but at the same time i also seem them being happy together.
i want marvus to finally realize theyre meant to be whether thats on his own time or by force, i want him to make my sweet stalker boy happy.
zebruh pathetically clinging to marvus as soon as theyre together, never wanting to be away from him and marvus just goes with it.
zebruh is an absolutely terrible person but eventually marvus would see past that, realizing theyre more similar then not, and giving him all the love he deserves.
pampering him and giving him the best goddamn sex he’ll ever have in his virgin life.
but at the same time it isnt all that great, just as much as they love each other theres problems too.
zebruh, being who he is, would ruin most of it for himself. being such a stupid little brat that he messes up any progress they’ve made together.
i dont think they would abuse each other verbally or physically, maybe some occasional insults or too tight of a grip but nothing major.
however if you want to be a little inaccurate then i feel as though marvus would use him to his advantage.
hes a little creepy fucking stalker after all, he deserves it, right?
he deserves to be degraded as a “joke”, deserves to be thrown around and treated like a rag doll, deserves to get fucked without his explicit consent, even to get groped and sexually harassed,,,
maybe even being occasionally told that yes, all he will ever be is a shitty stalker and he will never be anything more. he’ll never be his own person, never live a fulfilling life, never have true love. hell, even being made fun of for being a bad stalker. if you pride yourself on knowing everything and being so stalkery then why are you bad at it? a good stalker would never let their love interest treat them like this. a good stalker would have never gotten caught, wouldnt have gotten fucked or made fun of.
zebruh would go along with all of it. nodding his head and blindly agreeing, following the purplebloods orders like a clueless puppy, degrading and hurting himself in the process.
hed end the night with a fragile state of mind and stinging wrists and thighs, but it still wouldnt matter to him. this is love, isnt it? this is the love he knows.
zebruh is still an awful person.
if it was the other way around itd be no different.
hed go as far as to kidnap his idol if it came down to it, keeping him to himself while fucking and hurting him whenever he wanted. he would have so much power, hed make the other need him….make him want him.
make marvus so dependent on him so that hes all he needs. no one else will be in his life except for him.
itll be paradise having such a piece of heaven to himself, hed have him restrained while rambling about how much he loves him and that this is for the best, no one knows him better then he does. he knows what he needs. he knows how to take care of him.
marvus is a mentally strong troll however it wouldnt take long for someone like zebruh to break him down. make him so utterly fragile that he cant do anything against him despite being so much bigger and stronger.
its okay though, zebruh would care for him. zebruh would take care of every need he has and he wouldnt keep him in one place either, no, of course not, he would still let him do his shows and be social. he has to make him think he has a choice and free will.
every night will always end the same.
theyll always be together in the same place, all lovey dovey and cuddly. some nights its a little darker though, but thats to be expected isnt it? i think it is.
maybe even forcing him to watch him hurt himself, watching the thin lines of blue stretch across his grey skin, drops of bright blue blood dripping down his arms and thighs. not even just there, some on his chest and ribs too, even by his nook and bulge.
marvus wouldnt do anything but sit and watch, uncomfortably giving zebruh praise and compliments for hurting himself because he begs for it…begging for validation for anything.
sometimes he’d even specifically cut right under his chest, having a moderately big sized chest is something he hates. wanting to practically cut off his tits but being too scared to do it.
he wouldnt just hurt himself either, he would hurt marvus too. hed call him beautiful and gorgeous while the purple stains his skin, only encouraging him to do more.
his favorite thing though is when he gets to fuck him or ride him, its so exhilarating and makes him feel like he has so much control in a life where he has had none.
the sex is amazing, pure bliss feeling how the other feels. being so close, skin to skin, is all the pathetic troll craves.
he does prefer to ride him or be fucked though, loving the stretch and struggle of having to fit a massive highblood bulge in such a space thats just not quite built for it all while his own unusually, pitiful small bulge squirms against his own skin and leaks blue slick everywhere.
sigh.
they really are perfect no matter what light you put them under.
toxic, healthy, doesnt matter.
they truly are meant for each other.

info abt my virus flamey/kizuna junk under the cut since i want somewhere to dump about it 👍 the au isnt just about them but ive been calling it that because they take the primary character roles
okay so. the thing about this one is that it like....STARTS similar to tome canon. as in, the plan to stick flamey with the antivirus and leave her for dead by the end of the show was very much set in stone. neomutant is also a bit more relevant because of this. episode zero happens ESSENTIALLY the same i am unsure if i will be changing much.
the reall changes start when kajet approaches flamey instead of alpha. it is privy to the fucked up shit that nm is cooking up and it explains it to her (in vague terms to obfuscate some things about itself, but definitely clear enough to know who is threatening her.) SHE ends up with kajet rather than alpha. im undecided on what her first Demon Fucked Up moment is gonna be but it might end up being the episode w ravenfreak, he tries to plant the antivirus on her model which i assume might HURT her by that point and shes like oh ok. [tv statics you to death]
i have a few specific scenes planned out but the most notable changes are kajet being a little more sympathetic (thats how i portray it through all my stuff tho LOL), aforementioned flamey and kizuna taking the roles of alpha and zetto (mostly. the unending guilt and repression within that marshmallow freak is still present) and neomutant has a more relevant role as an antagonist. flamey gets like more paranoid and freaked out over the series due to the virus making her feel like...Heightened Shit. yknow theyre coming for BOTH of us. shes girlboss girlfail girlfuck. im unsure if i want alpha to get the antivirus to paralell her or have it be someone else...maybe gs just tries to help her whole cloth or smth.

thoughts on the bcs 6B premiere!! spoilers under the cut. like major spoilers its not hiding anything
so holy shit .
this post is rlly just for me! idc if someone else reads it this is so i can discuss somewhere public without spoiling someone
so first off the music was genuinely perfect for every. single. scene. kim driving to gus' house was so good, every scene with lalo had music that suited him so well which is something the show has always been good at, the song when they bury howards body was... such a perfect piece to encapsulate the feelings his death evokes. its beautiful but it also has that touch of somberness to really show just how tragic it is we lost him. plus they buried him with his fuckign MURDERER.. THE WAY they were laying together was so interesting..idk if it was intentional but i loved how they looked
lalo was so intimidating and showed his smarts in this episode like always but fuck. he made possibly his first ever mistake in his ENTIRE run on the show which is incredible! lalo has been so calculated up until his final scene and thats so fitting for him. one smalllllll mistake lead to his demise
speaking of his demise. i loved his death scene. also super fitting
i feel kinda fucked up considering hes responsible for like all my fav characters deaths (even nachos to an extent) but im so sad to see lalo go. im one of those ppl who always hoped he would survive in the end lol. i really really loved his death. i saw someone call it boring but tbh i think there wasnt a better way to send him off. in silence, in the dark, choking on his own blood and with a shit eating grin on his face. he was smug even as he was bested by someone for the smallest mistake on his part. i think some part of him was proud of gus. he recognizes hes won this. THE WINNER TAKES IT ALLLLL
oh and the spotlight on his shoes. for all the girlies who love his dumb fucking shoes YOU GOT FAN SERVICE
love how the episode took place all in one night! also everyone on this GOD DAMN CAST AND CREW better get their well deserved emmys.
i feel like i have more to say but idk.
lalos vlog channel is fucking amazing
i liked how when jimmy knocks the chair over him and howard are in a yin and yang position. theres both good and evil in the both of them, its just that each leans more towards another.
love how lyle was singing a los pollos hermanos version of la cucaracha after lalos death scene! amazing way to both call back to LALO calling jimmy a cockroach and to remind us that jimmy survives every single thing that comes his way, somehow. love mike using his "thats all i know" lie for the first time. love that kim and jimmys twisted fucking lie abt howard currently using cocaine is now going to haunt them for life. they have to paint his final moments as an unhinged addict who killed himself shortly after harrassing them for Totally Doing Nothing Officer!!!! /s they are fucked up and they can never and SHOULD never forgive themselves.
not fully sure who will take that villain role now! first it was the kettlemans, then nacho in a WAY (but we always had sympathy imo) then hector, then lalo and now... who next? maybe its that new character theyve talked abt but its gonna be hard to fill lalos turquoise shoes.
starting to think the south wall was a red herring! maybe it isnt but thats my thoughts because lalo put so much emphasis on it and now hes gone. dead without the one question he couldnt answer lingering in his mind. he saw the lab and still didnt know what the south wall was for. maybe it really is for nothing.
itll be so fucked to watch brba now and know theyre walking over the rotted corpses of lalo and howard, people who will be lost to time and soon forgotten by the masses. i think the final plotline will be watching hhm collapse without its h and m
okay i think thats all my thoughts. have a wonderful night friends!

Ah I finished the newest season on My Little Pony g5... I forgot what theyre even still calling this gen. Is it just "A New Generation?" So much of this show is just unremarkable like that. There's nothing going on and while I obviously speak from the perspective of a grown adult, I also can't fathom many children being that enthralled with the show either.
There's definitely a significant downshift in the target demographic. Even season 1 of g4, the "babiest" of the seasons, was never oriented this hard towards literal babies lol. And again, I can't even imagine young children enjoying this show more than, say, g4 -- which is also on Netflix and just 1000% more quality. If I had a kid and they wanted to watch something, why on earth would I ever choose g5 over g4? What does g5 have over it? Genuinely every aspect is just a total downgrade, offering nothing original or creative, and worst of all, it outright relies on itself standing on the shoulders of g4!! If you want the "best" experience with g5, then you ought to come in familiar with g4, which is just begging viewers to feel that downshift I was talking about.
Like if I was told to make a new generation of ponies for a new young audience, idk, I would choose one or the other: either go hard on being based on g4 and effectively make it a sequel/continuation, and stay consistent with the established lore, OR I'd go the opposite and abandon all/most previous lore, starting with a clean slate that any dumpy 6 year-old can keep up with. Instead we get this back-and-forth cocksucking of g4, g5 is just incapable of making moves on its own, it relies so much on g4 having been there.... UGHHH!
Beyond that, everything else is just worse. The animation in particular is so fucking bad and a BIG reason why I wouldnt make a kid watch this lol. It's barely competent most of the time, but there's so little heart, so little personality (which can be said of the whole production). You know those early ref sheets cartoonists get from the lead artist/animator? And it shows "dos and do-nots" about how to animate characters, e.g. "don't make them stand in straight lines" "add dynamics to their posture" "exaggerate expressions." Yeah well they got the notes flipped fucking backwards for this season. Characters are CONSTANTLY as stiff as cardboard, barely moving at all to accentuate their dialogue -- dialogue that DOES have character and personality! It feels so sad that the VAs probably imagined a better animated cartoon and thus acted the way they did, but it only highlights how stale the animation is when you have so much life in a character's voice, like urgency or quirkiness, only to see the pony barely lift a hoof or turn their head. Gravity also just exists differently in this world, where something can bounce on the ground like a rubber ball two times, and then drop dead where it next lands, not even a slight roll or sway. It's bad enough the characters arent the most vibrant nor is the world very colorful or engaging.... but then youre looking at them and they barely even freaking move.
And the characters. Theyre trying, but its not doing enough. These five just do NOT have any chemistry worth watching. None of them have motivations, between them all is maybe like three quirks, but otherwise they have nothing interesting going on. Hitch and Zipp could almost fill the same role as being these "investigators" so it's odd that there's two of them, which sucks because for the plots this generation wants to make, a detective-focused personality is a great fit -- just weird that it's two people basically. Sunny is very plain and is made especially dumb for the sake of conflict; Izzy remains okay but it's so clear theyre just taking notes off of Pinkie Pie. And then Pipp, just shut the fuck up. I went from disliking Pipp to hating her, the idea of "social media influencer" as a character in a kids cartoon is so frustrating, especially since they have no intent on exploring this concept in any interesting way lol. Her trait is just "she's popular" and sometimes she sings, which is a weird aspect to focus specifically on in a world traditionally known for everyone breaking out into song lmao.
So yeah nothing exciting going on.... The villain is extremely lackluster, but Im glad there's at least some sort of consistent uhhhhhhhhh "threat" I guess. Misty is sometimes interesting, but the dumbness of this plot ruins most chances of finding her appealing. Maybe she'll be more interesting once she gets the inevitable redemption/turn-around, I predict she'll end up being the second unicorn to the main cast, but I doubt she's going to really sync with anyone or improve the chemistry. Overall a very let down experience and probably the weakest post of g5 yet lol.

I guess my main ideas for a "Maccadam talk" episode with the quintesson crew would go as such
If we agree that this would take place after Hot Rod's failed assassination, Clobber would still feel so bad about it, and Mac is trying to recomfort her, eventually the conversation would shift over what she really want to do, and what it means to make your own decisions. And I think it would be great if, because of that, at the end of the arc, SHE was the one who find and ask Hot Rod/Perceptor/Whirl if she can become an autobot, I think it would be kinda more meaningful
Maccadam at first congratulating Perceptor over finding out about the titan and being so observant (and both laughing at the irony since Percy is now blind) as a conversation starter, and them talking about the role of an observer, and maybe have Percy contemplate the position, because this whole affair (him losing an arm for exemple) might be too much action for him, and have Mac nudging him a bit because hey. who knows. my position is very good (and might be vacant pretty soon)
Maybe have Whirl and Dead end share their conversation with Mac, and make it about standing out. It'd also make sense, as theyre the only two members of the cast who debuted in season 3. Whirl is talking about how he never really stood out before among the autobots, and that he... kinda liked being crushed by the cube in the parade because for once the attention was on him (and you can make a parallel with skybyte on the con side, who likes attention in general for his poetry), Dead end would make a comment over how wanting attention never really end up good for you... tho nothing good happened for him while no attention was on him. And then Mac would inspire both over being more active members of the cast and take the opportunities to act and be important when they would find them. And that would be why Whirl is a more active character in the later episodes of the season.
Except Dead end would take that advice in the wrong way in the form of "going up the ranks" or at least be more of a major player at the expense of everyone else, by involving Megatron later and leaving this universe behind... BUT it would backfire on him with standing out TOO MUCH and now he is being bullied by Astrotrain and he has to keep Megatron's terrible secret from his former superiors who are more intimidating than he is.
Maccadam would read Soundwave like an open book. Immediately start by teasing him and telling him that "It's okay to be scared" in regards of his glitching condition which would INSTANTLY get Soundwave's attention and aggressivity, which he has to direct somewhere because things really arent going his ways right now. But there's... some sort of familiarity to their discussion which we havent seen from Soundwave, because Maccadam is special: He's not an autobot, which Soundwave has no respect for (yet), and he's not a decepticon, which Soundwave has learn to either 1) intimidate or 2) not trust (save for one exception), Maccadam is Maccadam, he's neutral, he's equal, Soundwave has danced in his bar, won in his bar. So Soundwave would gradually calm down the longer the discussion go on, and maaaybe show some sort of hidden vulnerable side, and Maccadam would nudge him too, telling him to not resist change, or fear change, and in a similar fashion as Clobber, tell him to make his own decisions and judgements for himself, and that he might be surprised in a good way, and even like it.
Hot Rod wouldn't get an advice but more of... a congratulation. Maccadam sees that Roddy is going the way he was meant to go, and, in the absence of Optimus, he has to be the one to tell him that "yes. you are doing a good job", and Hot Rod, even if he would reply that the job is not done until they get everyone out of the loop, Oh So Needed to hear this after everything he's done. Plus, we've had A LOT of flashbacks of Roddy being in Maccadam's, and even Mac showing that he was fond of him, so it would make sense to have Mac fill the "parental role" to Roddy right here, and it would make Roddy seeing Maccadam's death more impactful.

For The Love of a Father (Idea)
AYO it me! this was inspired by an idea by @1rosebyanyothername in the MGI server. (i copied this directly from the server so rip my punctuation)
“What if somehow Thomas Wayne managed to live but lost his memory, so he moved to Paris, taking on the name Thomas Dupain?
What if he then married Sabine Cheng, and then eventually had Marinette?
So Bruce would be Marinette’s half brother, around 8 years older than her.”
So this is what I came up with as a part of brainstorming for it. (again not a fic but an idea that i should not be allowed to have)
without further ado:
Okay so imagine they, Thomas and Martha, were pronounced dead on scene but when they get to the coroner's office Thomas wakes up but since this has already made big public scandal the coroner tries to be discrete and ships his unconscious body off to like Strange or someone who then confirms the memory loss or gasp does it himself and ships him off to who knows where cuz the underbelly of Gotham has plans and a living Wayne ruins that but he didnt kill him cuz the Wayne foundation funded Blackgate and Arkham so out of mercy he doesnt kill him but ships him off to Italy in the care of one (1) ☝ Gina Dupain who was all new son and rolled tf with it
now he is being careened off to Paris cuz his 'father' Roland lives there but since Thomas was already a grown man at this point he just tries to live on his own and this is where he meets Sabine and they have a lovely daughter named Marinette Martha Dupain-Cheng
he doesnt know why he chose Martha but the name comes with an intense feeling of love so of course he would name his first daughter after that name
now either this is set in like fox series Gotham where we have young pre!batman Bruce or whenever but if you choose that route then maybe immediately after the series during his sabbatical he finds himself in Paris and would you look at that his dad his sweeping floors while a girl no older than 6 is calling him papa and Bruce just fucking breaks and he doesnt know what to do cuz he thought this man was dead but no he has a new family a new wife a new kid and Bruce has spent all this time grieving this man so he walks in trying to figure out wtf is going on but then Thomas looks up at this now 18??? yr old Bruce and there's a pleasant smile and 'welcome to Tom and Sabines how can i help you' and no recognition and Bruce then realises he has truly lost his father and now when he becomes batman its not with the grief of losing his parents but with the pain of losing his father twice
so then fast forward and cue to 13 yr old Marinette and being ladybug and wonder woman tells the league of a problem in Paris and Bruce just like freezes cuz wtf and internally he's spiralling cuz he never recovered from his discovery of his father's new simple life but the mission comes first and the grieving 12 yr old inside has to take a backseat for now so he sends someone (maybe midnighter but idk much bout him so someone else like wonder woman) to find out more and get in contact with those dealing with the situation so they schedule a meeting with ladybug and chat noir and Bruce nearly swallows his tongue cuz he doesnt give a f bout magic and magic cant hide those eyes cuz he sees them every morning in the mirror the same shade of blue (idk if it was Thomas or Martha that had blue eyes and i dont think canon knows either) and Bruce just knows this is his father's daughter his sister and she's caught in the same life as he but not because she condemned herself to this life but cuz some ras al ghul wannabe forced her and now he's seeing red but he cant lose his cool cuz batman doesnt lose his cool
so they work together but this little girl no taller than his ribs is hesitant and cautious and she's cracking under the pressure cuz her partner has other responsibilities and she has to pick up the slack and she doesnt know what to do and now Bruce is this close to revealing himself to her and explaining everything so that she has a bigger shoulder to lean on but he cant cuz hawkmoth and magic and secret identities and its a whole mess
(he is absolutely ready to go apeshit during weredad but he doesnt but its a damn near thing)
NOW we cut to when Mari is like 16 and theyre closing in on hawkmoth but he cant focus too much on that cuz 38 yr old Bruce just picked up a child and holy shit how does one parent and his sister?? can he even call her that?? is handling the situation so he takes a bigger backseat on Paris and focuses more on cleaning up Gotham and training/raising robin
and now things are kinda mellowing out and everyone falls into their new routines and roles in life Bruce almost forgets that his dad is not dead and during an investigation he finds out that Hugo Strange was responsible for shipping his father off like cheap export and now he's torn because he knows Strange can undo it,,, the bastards done worse and more complicated shit over the years undoing memory loss that he caused should be piece of cake but he doesnt want to take away a father from his child cuz Bruce knows how that can absolutely ruin someone and he's grown fond of his sister even if the relationship is severely one-sided she's family and Bruce couldnt do that to family but ,,,, but he misses his father he loves Alfred truly but nothing replace the Thomas and Martha shape gape in his heart so he does nothing
NOW he does however want to bridge the gap between himself and Marinette cuz he wants to know his father's new family even if the thought of his father loving someone other than his mother and calling someone else his child makes him viscerally ill he is nothing if not addicted to self-inflicted punishment after all
so he invites her whole class over to metropolis as some scholarship trip (he'll be damned if he brings his tiny sister to gotham of all places) and tries to get to know her there but he cant do so under much professional settings so he lets it slip casually in a presentation about his parents and includes a picture of his parents and he sees the looks the girl’s classmates throw around cuz they know that man as her father not his but no one can deny the resemblance so after the presentation she discretely goes off to talk with him in private but everyone sees them and knows whats happening so there is no time for pretense but they go into a back room and they talk and talk and talk and cry a little bit maybe a lot and they make promises to get to know each other

How Aaron could’ve been a good character and why he wasn’t
I’ve been annoyed at this for a good long while and i’ve finally gotten around to talk about it so here we gooo
please note that, though i watched all of mcd s2 while it was coming out, i haven’t rewatched it all the way through (i’m a little less than halfway through s2) so bear with me
now, we can all agree that we didn’t really have a lot of beef with aaron in s1. was it annoying that aph was keeping secrets?  yes. did we actively enjoy the fact that this random edgelord showed up with all of this convenient information? sure. but did we actively dislike him? i don’t think so
im sure that some people did, but it was a far cry from the universal grudge that we as a fandom hold. the only question is, what changed?
the answer is pretty simple: he got annoying
there is no greater sin that a content creator can commit than to make a character tedious--especially a character that the fans are meant to root for. i once heard someone say that there is no such thing as a good character and a bad character, there are only interesting characters or boring characters
now, before the s1 finale, aaron wasn’t annoying because he made sense. we didn’t know a lot about his backstory, but we knew just enough to not have a lot of questions while also understanding why he as a character worked. he spied on zane, he got information, and he got away with it because, according to every government in existence, he was dead. he was doing it to avenge his village, which seemed to be his reason for doing most things.
 that was basically it, because that was all that we needed. he didn’t answer personal questions because that could reveal his identity, and he didn’t hang around phoenix drop proper because he knew that there was a spy in the village who might figure him out. all in all, he was a very logical character
what changed? his motivation
after the gang sealed zane in the irene dimension, may i ask WHAt the fuck was his reason for staying??? nothing! what was his reason for keeping his identity a secret? pretty much nothing! it made no sense!!
according to all of his characterization as a *~lone wolf~*, it would make the most sense for him to strike out on his own and do whatever the fuck, maybe occasionally popping back in to warn the main characters of some impending doom, maybe hold a giant fuckass sword to someone’s throat again, maybe find some other tyrant to destroy.
but he didn’t, and it made no sense
this was made exponentially worse because he was an ~edgy dark angsty boy with a sad past and a dead wife~ and because he seemed to be able to do no wrong. he rarely, if ever, communicated with the rest of the group, and he often just went out on his own--and yet, most people seemed to trust him unconditionally?? he always seems to show up at the right place and the right time with little to no explanation as to how, and no one ever questions it. sure, laurance and dante had some doubts and even spoke up once or twice, but laurance’s grievances are mostly due to being in love with aph, and literally no one else ever asked anything, despite not even knowing his fucking name
and, of course, everyone thinks that he’s super hot and aphmau falls in love with him and then he dies a tragic death in a moment of self-sacrifice that really wasn’t all that heroic because he left his wife and child behind
i mean, come on
THAT BEING SAID he had soooo muuch potentiaalllllll
LET ME EXPLAIN
during s1, his role in the story was the spy--and he was very good at it, because everyone thought that he was dead!! how are you gonna blame a dead man for anything without sounding crazy! no one knew his name or his face or anything--and they should’ve kept it that way because, surprise!! theyre still at war in s2. sure, it’s a different war, but it’s still! a fucking! war! and like 70% of war is ESPIONAGE and INFORMATION and STRATEGY, havent you ever heard the phrase KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE??? they literally had possibly the best spy that they knew of and instead of actually putting his skills to work he just dramatically leans on trees and sits in the shadows??? WHAT
he clearly had ways to get into high places, since he had somehow gotten his hands on the amulet in s1, and he used to be a lord so he would’ve known things about POLITICS and KINGDOM STUFF--i mean, we all know that aphmau knows jack shit about this world and how it works.
what SHOULDVE HAPPENED IS:
after they all get back to the overworld, he leaves the party. idc if it’s immediately after or if he waits a few days, but he leaves regardless. every once in awhile, we hear of him popping up in various places, and we run into him a few times. he informs the gang of what he’s heard, maybe tags along on some missions. he still shows up in random places the way that he does in canon, but since he’s not based it phoenix drop i think that it makes a bit more sense, and he occasionally pops back into phoenix drop whenever he’s in the area or needs time to rest and recharge, and stays an informant for aphmau & her crew. as things pick up, he slowly becomes a more commonly-seen member of aphmau’s inner circle. 
throughout this whole period, he finally starts to come to terms with the death of his wife & their village, and he slowly starts to share more with the group--nothing big, just details here and there--and he actually starts to develop *gasp* a personality. i’d like to imagine that he gets closer with laurance, dante, and katelyn instead of only ever talking to aphmau. i don’t think that he’s ever super talkative, but he starts to be a little less quiet & closed off. 
at this point, he’s either told them his name or (preferred) they all have a list of nicknames that they cycle through to address him. sooner or later he starts to help with the building of phoenix drop and the alliance, taking on duties that are more akin to his old role as lord. he either phases the espionage out of his schedule or ghostwrites all of the legislation, and falls more easily into his new roles
i don’t really care if he ever ends up with aphmau or not, but if he does then that also happens at some point or another, but i, at least, would no longer be angry at that outcome
However, this whole plot would require everyone in the story to take literally all of their roles in this literal government that they’re building seriously, and we all know that that’s never going to happen, but i can dream /s
Tl;dr, if aaron actually used his strengths and skills to be a useful member of this alliance instead of randomly showin up and dramatically hitting things with his giant fuckoff sword, he’d be so much more tolerable

ive made a few of these bingo sheets and theyre fun so i decided to make one not just for e3 but also JUST for splatoon 3 (not just for e3 but for like the whole lifetime of the game). also heres my updated list of characters id like to see in smash, ordered generally by which id like more and/or think are the most realistic
since min min got in i took out helix, and since i couldnt decide whether to add in waluigi or madeline i added another row (realistically i dont think any indies are getting in but i threw some in anyway). also i was like “oh yeah maybe theyd put in a gen viii pokemon” so i threw in hatterene since thats one of my favorites.
also as for waluigi (and shovel knight for that matter) i think it would be nice to see an assist trophy get in just to break that rule. also i remember being super surprised he wasnt in brawl (back then i thought he and wario were equally important) and even though that was based on a wrong impression ive still felt like he should be in there ever since
notes about the bingos under the cut
really is about time for those n64 games, especially now that mario is dead so theyre free to release sm64 on it. game boy games would be nice sometime too
would also make sense to include banjo-kazooie in that, nintendos had a good relationship with microsoft lately and the total absence of anything banjo-kazooie on the switch is odd since it’s a dlc character (every other one has a game on switch they can use for cross-marketing, even if joker’s took a while) and i think the best explanation for that would be that theyre holding off for the nso n64 app (this is easiest from a technical standpoint because all they have to do is make a deal to use the roms)
when are they putting octolings in mk8d
xenoblade chronicles x is one of the only wii u games left that they could port (aside from ones that wouldnt make much sense like splatoon and ssb4) so i guess that might as well happen sometime. also monolith soft might be doing something else besides helping with splatoon 3
im not ready for metroid prime 4 (im over halfway through mp2 and therefore the trilogy as a whole) but it’s been a while, they might show it and it could even come out this year
hal apparently recently hinted at a new kirby game or something
the upgraded switch is obviously going to be called the Nintendo Switch ͥ  since they already did the ds lite so theyre clearly naming everything in the family after the ds family, theres absolutely no flaw in this logic. idk if theyre showing it, but unlike 2019 they didnt say they werent showing new hardware (just that they were showing software, which could be taken as denying rumors, but they sometimes specify when certain things arent being shown)
metroid prime trilogy also might come this year. would make sense to release it before mp4 since not everyone is going to buy a wii u to get it (and at this point that doesnt get nintendo any money since they stopped making them)
where is detective pikachu 2. i hope it has the blue pikachu from that first tease they gave us in like 2014 (2013? that was a loooong time ago idk)
they said this was MOSTLY 2021 so i am absolutely getting my hopes up for splatoon 2
the two sinnoh games could likely be there
would be super cool if oddity came to switch. and almost as ironic as megalovania getting into smash
we havent seen the botw sequel for a couple years so we’re kind of due for an update on that
it’s ace attorney’s 20th anniversary this year so maybe theyre doing something. theyre already porting those games though so idk. maybe he’s getting in smash
whats with that watermelon mario render
i held off on watching a playthrough for ndrv3 on the off chance it came to switch and i could play a dangan ronpa game for real for once but it’s now been 4 years and we just passed the 10th anniversary of the series (albeit during a pandemic when i wouldnt expect them to have done anything) so it would be cool to see the series come to switch. i think if it still doesnt after this though i’ll just watch the playthrough, 4 years is long enough. amazed ive avoided spoilers this long, i still know next to nothing about the game
im about done with acnh but im still waiting on those splatoon items. and i ran out of storage in february so i need more of that too
nintendo did stuff for zelda’s 30th anniversary so i doubt theyre forgetting the 35th. maybe wwhd/tphd ports, idk
been a couple years since fire emblem, intelligent systems is probably up to something besides planning yet another paper mario spinoff
miyamoto forgot pikmin 4 in the oven 6 years ago and it got burnt to a crisp and thats why it hasnt come out yet because he had to start over
and splatoon
the inklings scared daft punk into quitting so now that theres no competition in the robot musician scene they should have a daft punk style group
i waited and waited and neither of my top two splatoon stages (flounder and d’alfonsino) came back in splatoon 2 so i hope just because splatoon 3 isnt in inkopolis doesnt mean they still wont return
would be sick as hell if there was a real hide and seek mode instead of just sticking to your own rules in private battles. havent played that since 2015 but it was super fun
show us the effects of the chaos world
i wanted mc craig to have a song in octo expansion and they didnt deliver. heres another chance
splatnet 3 baby
cant wait for nogami to do a funny 3 pose
abxy came back for splatoon 2.... am i gonna be that lucky again...?
salmon run doesnt make sense if youre friends with a smallfry but they could either change the story context (you just fight “evil” salmonids?) or replace it with an equally fun co-op mode
amiibo!!! i think i said this before but they should label them by weapons if these cephalopods dont have genders, would make more sense (the gendered ones had different weapons anyway)
returning characters!!!! would like to see everyone have a role of some kind
maybe #GearForAll wasnt successful in getting the emperor/spy/mecha gear, but perhaps theyll at least consider not making that stuff exclusive this time around
squid girl gear should be back. and they should call it a dress instead of a tunic because its a dress. and theres no gender now anyway
as ive said before... TRIPLIES!! you hold one in each hand and another in your mouth. and you can spin around like the tasmanian devil
remove splatfest tee annoyances: you should have a prompt at the end of a splatfest to pay to scrub your tee (to make sure you get the chunks) also it should be on a neutral brand so you dont end up with an overabundance of ink resistance up (or whatever else)
better online and cloud saves would certainly justify having a second splatoon game on the same console, as much as im loving that it exists
hopefully theres a global testfire again
sooner or later the workers will rise up and kill mr grizz
remember in splatoon 1 where if you had squid beatz (via the amiibo) you could “play” it in the lobby and change the music? then you were stuck listening to only bubble bath in splatoon 2? why did they take that option away they should bring it back
looking at those apartment buildings in the trailer i think it would be cool if you had your own room and could decorate it
an octavio redemption arc would be fun to see. in the manga he stole the zapfish because the octarians had an energy crisis, and in the end they worked out a deal to share the electricity

hi !! im here to talk about The Devil Judge :-) okay so im super confused about why Ga On and Isaac look alike & im not sure if the show is going to cover that. any thoughts on why theyre literally identical?
Hey :)  sorry I made the post just before I went to sleep so sorry I'm replying so late. First point I don’t know if the show will cover it either, however I think this is probably where we disagree (idk just assuming), you say your super confused and ngl I am too, however I wouldn’t mind the show not explaining it. I’ll go into more detail but essentially I don’t think i need that answer. For two reasons. 1) From what we’ve seen the reason why he looks identical doesn’t seem that important to progressing the storyline. So I don’t mind the writers not having an explanation. As long as the storyline doesn’t call for it. 2) I don’t know if I would be satisfied with any explanation. Perhaps I'm saying this because of what i feel i know what the cheap way out would be, but I don’t think there is any reason as to why they’re identical that, would be pleasing enough for them to state. I don’t think that pay-off is high enough. 
This being said I have loved the writing of the show, the pay-off of scenes episodes down the line. It really highlights that they know what they want to convey to the audience and their writing ability. So, I have more than enough confidence in them to pull it off well if they choose to but personally i wouldn’t feel cheated if there wasn’t an explanation. I go as far to say I hope they don’t touch on it, at least in the show, as I feel like I don’t want one.
I stated before that i feel like there’s a cheap way out and I think we all know what the most obvious storyline would be... Family! Maybe I’m discouraged by how other shows tackle these types of storylines. It tends to be mediocre shows that do it no justice, but if they chose to go down this route i hope they execute it well. Firstly we’d have to ask ourselves is there any evidence of them being related, apart from the similarity in looks. And yes, there’s one quote from the show that I remember vividly it the explanation their (Yo-han and Isaac’s) father gives about why he treats the boys so differently. He states that Yo-han looks like him, leading us to believe that he believes that Yo-han is his illegitimate son, and why he felt better bout beating him but that’s not what the question is about. The relevant part was that he believes Isaac looks like his mother, and I am assuming this resemblance stuck with him as he grew into a man i.e. when he looks the same as Ga-on. This means if they were gonna go through the bloodline it would have to be a connection to Isaac’s mother. This would mean Yo-han would be aware of this link, I don’t believe he wouldn’t have discovered this link or that K wouldn’t have during his digging. However, a line near the beginning of the show from Yo-han being in shock about how similar the resembles shows he was aware of the Ga-on. I think this was solely because he had applied for the role and seen his picture on the CV, and thus taken an interest, However if someone would want to think he had discover him sometime after the incident as Ga-on would be related to Elijah, not Yo-han. Maybe he wanted to see if Elijah had anyone else who’d be able to look after her, and maybe that’s when K made a comment about them looking the same and it wasn’t till years down the line he was able to see the resemblance with his own eyes. I could also see something loosely similar to that also being true. Having said all this I don’t think the double casting was for no reason. I do think it was more a conscious choice on the writing side. When you have a character like Yo-han who’s so used to keeping people at an arms length, it hard to show him take an interest in anybody. I feel like a younger me was very similar to him, and the card scene broke my heart, but it was something that seems so unrealistic (that somebody doesn’t know any card game) but it felt so real. And how he keeps stating he doesn’t like people, where in fact he does, we’ve seen it on plenty of occasions, however he needs to believe it and he does think it’s true about himself. It makes being lonely more comfortable, when it out of your own choice and not regardless of it. But we heard of him as a child taking interest into people, the girl from school, his brother, the maid (he even spares her feeling by refusing to tell her, her food sucks), his niece and others. What makes it easier to believe is that he’s so out of place when it comes to any form of interaction with other people that he can mistake the lack of experience for a dislike.
 But anyway this isn’t a Yo-han breakdown ask, so why i think it’s important to take this into account is that by making Ga-on look like his dead brother you force him to take an interest into him, that deepens the story. It also means we can have scenes like after the bomb where he’s able to successfully save Ga-on someone who looks like his brother, when he had failed to save his actual brother in the original fire. I could sit here for awhile taking about the implications of the resemblance has on Yo-han but i feel like i made this way too long already. 
I’d be surprised if you’ve stuck with my rambles all the way to the end but thanks if you did.

Question what are some things you wanna see in season 3 of lone star? Character development, plots, anything
I want to see Tonya Kong write every episode. that's all. thanks for asking!
-
sadfkja I joke, I do have other ideas, but that is definitely high on my wish list! i'm gonna go through by character and talk about what I'd like to see for them, so this is gonna get quite long whoops...
the main thing that I'd like to see overall, though, would be evidence of an overarching season plan or arc - it doesnt necessarily have to be a plot that stretches through all the episodes or anything major, but I'd love them to have plotted out the season before they start. from watching this season and then reading interviews after the finale, they dont appear to plan many things from the start and end up throwing in ideas as they go along. if they plan it from the start they can foresee how theyre going to affect character development more, and they can have a bit more balance in the types of episodes they have, so that the season is less insane and more naturally ebb-and-flow with a few light episodes to break up the drama.
okay, onto the characters! just going to do this in billing order for simplicity's sake. customary reminder that these are just my own opinions and thoughts, and this is more of a wish list than a realistic expectation.
if you want to search for a specific character, ctrl F for one of these terms including the dash at the start:
-Owen
-Tommy
-TK
-Grace
-Judd
-Marjan
-Paul
-Carlos
-Mateo
-Nancy
press “j” to skip the whole post.
-Owen
okay so I'd love to see them actually develop his character. Owen has been given a lot of backstory with lots to play with development-wise, but to me it feels like the show never goes anywhere with it. he's got a lot going on what with 9/11, feeling responsible for the fates of his fellow firefighters, the codependence of his relationships etc. I'd like to see him go to therapy and see him grow some self awareness and seek to manage himself better, rather than all his screentime devoted to him being a hero when other characters have the situation handled. it would really show him as a good leader if he drew on the skills that his team has and refer to them for advice/ideas. realistically he is the main character, so I'd like them to develop him like one.
also, I kind of love the chief role for him? I think it would suit him really well. but it would drag him away from the 126 and split up the dynamics too much so it would make for bad tv and I wouldnt actually want to see that. good for his character though.
-Tommy
I love Tommy :) just wanted to say that.
so obviously Tommy's got a lot of grief to handle next season, and I don't want them to shy away from that. I want it acknowledged and processed. (I'd also like a little bit of seeing the twins' grief too, because they're also suffering a massive loss). maybe something with Judd helping Tommy learn to manage her grief with his own experience of losing the original 126, encourage her to go to therapy, plus Tommy, Grace and Judd all feeling the loss of Charles together. after all, Grace and Judd were his friends and they will be grieving too.
I'd also kind of like to see Tommy have something outside being a working mother. obviously we're going to need to deal with that a lot especially now that Charles is gone, but I feel like she's been assigned the Character TraitTM of being the working mum and I'd like to see them give her a hobby or something. idk. and give her a night off with Grace or something. give her something just for her.
-TK
okay so I think theres a fair likelihood that theyre going to return to looking at TK's addiction next season which im not averse to. I think him struggling with his sobriety would be worthwhile to see for his character and to show that its not a straightforward path, plus it makes sense with all the insane stuff they've thrown at them in s2. however, Id like to see it in the context of his friends and family rallying around to help and support him and show him that he's got people to rely on, and that he's allowed to rely on them, plus the support of his AA meetings and therapy. I also need them to lay the groundwork for him struggling, so putting in signs of him deteriorating so the situation makes sense. this storyline doesn't need surprises to be interesting or good, and frankly it shouldn't have any.
as for him and Carlos, I definitely want to see them househunting! I'd like to see the combination of househunting/Carlos with Tommy's kids/Grace and Judd having their baby have an impact on their perspectives regarding their future and spark that conversation (like, looking at houses with more rooms and thinking about kids, future, marriage etc). I think that maybe one of them, probably TK, or maybe both of them those boys have way too many parent issues having anxieties about being a dad could be an interesting way to add tension without being too drastic, and then that can be resolved in a way that reassures them of their relationship and reaffirms their strength as a couple. the talk about the future would also lay the groundwork towards a proposal at the end of s3.
-Grace
grace :) my love :)
I could watch episode after episode of Grace kicking ass and saving people over the phone. I'd love to see an episode set there? like, some kind of story within the call centre with all the handlers having to resolve that between them, but also tie in the first responders, so we see the fire team, the paramedics and Carlos all working but we only see the bits that Grace and the other call handlers hear, if that makes sense? also an actual Grace/Carlos team up where they are coming in from the different angles with different amounts of evidence and figuring out the best way to solve something together. plus I'd like to see her maybe get some recognition for being awesome at her job, maybe another handler coming to her for advice on how to solve something.
of course we've got the baby Ryder on the way, and I want that to go comfortably and smoothly for her. she deserves that. lots of wholesome excitement for her and Judd from the whole extended firefam, baby shower, gifts, the full works. pamper grace please.
-Judd
judd4captain2k22. please.
yeah I know its not gonna happen, but I loved judd stepping in as captain this season and I'd love to see that continued with him taking more leadership, and Owen deferring to him for advice/council in a work environment rather than personal life. maybe set up a long term idea about judd being a captain someday.
he's gonna be a dad :') so what are his anxieties about that? why were they putting it off before? was it related to his PTSD? he's got lots of people relying on him now, how does that make him feel? what if his kid loses him? id like to see him still using therapy as a tool to help himself deal with everything. lots of meaty questions to dig into there :D
-Marjan
I'd quite like to see more of her balancing her daredevil nature with the impact of that and realising how much danger she puts herself in sometimes. or on the flip side, maybe the team is dealing with a really dangerous situation and they utilise her fearlessness to save people. her relationship with social media could also come back? but bring in the development they gave her this season, and her Firefox presence is more serious, less flippant?
I think that theres now a space for her to explore her sexuality/romantic experience now that she hasn't got her engagement with Salim as a kind of failsafe. maybe she wants to put herself out there and date, but thats really daunting as shes never really had to do that before? personally I think this could tie in really well with a self discovery/exploration regarding her sexual orientation, but I doubt they’d go there with her, so thats just my headcanon.
-Paul
I want them to draw on Paul’s observational skills and perceptiveness more, especially on calls and in emergencies. I remember someone (sorry I cant remember who) pointed out that he would have been a great character to centre the arsonist plot around in terms of noticing the clues etc, so id love a storyline that revolves around him dealing with an emergency like that. I also really want a Carlos and Paul friendship so maybe them collaborating on a call to solve something, that’d be cool.
can we give Paul a girlfriend please. if im not complely insane, there was a reference to someone in like,, 2x04?? someone who put mayo in his sandwich? idk I havent checked (edit: it was aioli in his banh mi! thank you @meneatyoghurt), but if there is someone can we show him having a fun and loving relationship please. I dont need there to be any drama. just them having fun on a date or something.
-Carlos
so I know that some people are keen to see him in his police role more but I really don't need much of that. on calls with the 126 I'd like to see him be the officer in charge more, but I don't need police-exclusive storylines. I've talked about it here if you want to know why.
the only area that I'd like to see would be in the direction of reform/addressing the flaws of the system, and I think they can do that on a personal level for him, because he and Mitchell need a chat. if they'd gone with her decision in 2x08, he, Mitchell and the bank robber would all be dead, and I think thats gotta have some impact. also the fact that he was suspended for trying to preserve life. theres a lot they could work with there and maybe have him thinking about how he can do good and how he can effectively protect and serve. not to mention, the opportunity that would provide in terms of addressing his relationship with his dad and how he maybe sought approval by pursuing a police career?
also I’d like him to learn that he doesnt need to accept blame/preemptively put blame on himself and that he doesnt need to apologise when someone else hurt him. kind of want to send him to therapy. kind of want to send all the characters to therapy. but yeah, him learning that he can accept apologies and understand that he doesnt have to make people feel better for hurting him. hes allowed to be hurt and feel pained about it. and that can tie into his relationships with Mitchell, with TK and with his parents.
I think I mentioned most of the tarlos stuff in TK’s section, but I wouldn't mind at least one instance for them where we see it all from his perspective instead of TK’s.
finally ive mentioned above how i’d like a team up with Paul on a scene and both of them figuring it out together. I'd also like them having a friendship outside work, just the two of them, bonding over books and being relatively sane people compared to the rest of their friends.
-Mateo
Mateo is so sweet. I loved 2x14 and the recognition he got, more of that please! also theres still so much I want to know - one of the more consistent things they set up for him in s2 was his faith, so I want to know more about that. what's his relationship with religion and God? he's pretty isolated from his family so how does he feel about that? is his religion something that helps him feel connected to them? maybe the church helped him find a community when he first came to the states, before he got settled with the 126, and he finds reassurance in faith that God is looking after his family while he cant be there? I think maybe there's scope for a conversation between Marjan and Mateo about that, about that distance and caring for their families through faith and prayer.
also, if he's still with the horrible firehouse, I'd like to see the other firefighters being won round by his resilience and stepping up to look out for him, and someone backing him up against the captain. Mateo is used as the butt of the joke most of the time, but I'd also like to see a bit more acknowledgement of things like losing his house and the bullying hes going to get more of from this firehouse.
-Nancy
I think that her speech to Tommy in 2x14 was really telling, and I'd love to see them expand on that a bit more. first on the loss and fear of losing her friends and coworkers, but then also on her hopes and aspirations - she said she wants to be a paramedic captain so lets see her working to take her exams and qualifications, and showing initiative on scenes etc.
id like to see more of her being integrated into the 126 group. she and marjan turned up to the hangout together, so lets develop that relationship more. I would love it to be romantic but I'd also love to see that as a friendship. but also her forming bonds with others in the group as well as more of her and TK being a chaos duo. I love that they stole the ambulance, more of that insanity please!
-
I think thats it? if youre still reading, youre insane and I appreciate you a lot! honestly im open to all sorts of things in s3, this isnt a prediction or anything, its just stuff I think would be interesting based on where the characters are now.

minecraft warden headcanons based on the new snapshot 
2 weeks after a warden born there will be a small ceremony ^_^ wardens live in very big groups like piglins but like even BIGGER the whole family is MASSIVE and there can be generations and generations all in on colony/huddle. i might call them huddles because it sounds cute for such a scary fucking monster. anyway. warden births are very special! they arent born in an abnormal way not from eggs or anything theyre just. borned. and then the next 2 weeks are spent by its family preparing a mini celebration!! 
Tumblr media
ceremonies are quiet usually eveeryone just stands around while the parents deal with everything theres no chairs wardens dont sit down often im going to rip off the bible for my warden lore ^-^ the babes get baptized. screw you jesus. they get carried to the smol bath and dunked and stay there for a few seconds while everyone lets the silence simmer for a bit. after about 30 seconds they play very soft soft music (mellohi. screw you guys it sounds so good with the atmosphere of the deep dark) and let it play. when its done the baby is pulled from the water and then close family does a GROUP BATH and they all chill for a bit in the hot-tub kind of thing with the baby :D
wardens are also ruled by king-like roles theyre called Fathers theres 3 of them but only one overarching one hes reverend as basically the GOD bitch. at least one father attends all birth ceremonies just to observe cause its like a blessing in away. u got to have one there or it is suspected that ur baby wont live very long (wardens are old bitches. by wont live very long i mean like theyll have the lifespan of a human and then croak) the big ass oven thing is the BIG castle where ther fathers live !! 
Tumblr media
bi annually there is a festival (they love their parties man. theres not much to do underground) and the festival is to celebrate the changing of the season pretty much. they know theres more than 2 but they can only feel 2 underground so they basically mark the upcoming winter and the upcoming summer. it gets really cold or really hot and when its really hot they usually hibernate for a bit gatherers are another role within the warden huddles. basically these big guys will be the brutes of the packs and theyre the ones tasked with going to the surface or scavenging the caves to bring back food and supplies for everyone else. (wardens are somewhat communist) if they dont make it back in a specific time frame, they are given a burial. although everyone is pretty loved and surrounded in huddles, deaths are quite common because wardens are Buff but they have weak weak spots like their open chest and throat. if a brute/gatherer comes back after being pronounced dead they are shunned and treated like a ghost. they are no longer welcomed in the huddle.
stray wardens are decently common they can be seen scouring caves with a small little family very VERY small by warden standards. maybe like 4-8 wardens total. its like a micro-huddle. these guys were either shunned together or a shunned warden made their own family in the meantime. theyre heavily frowned upon and are not given sanctuary from offending players . they have to fend for themselves and because they cant waste resources or friends to get to the surface, they have almost nothing to eat. usually very poor and weak. still strong by boss standards, but a player could take them out like a wither thats at its halfway point if its been starved. 
 players/people arent hard to come by, and when they do theyre usually just miners looking for materials, but they often like to cause chaos and ravage their cities especially during hibernating season. summer is the worst time for huddles because they can wake up and all their shit will be gone in their absense. its even worse cause if a warden is woken up in the middle of hibernating theyre pretty lost in their own head and will strike at anything, even its own kind because of being so tired. some huddles have one to two designated watchers during hibernating season. watchers stay awake for the entire month and a half ish to keep watch and then when everyone or the fathers wake up they get to pass out for as long as they want. for protecting their huddle, they are rewarded graciously. being a watcher is incredibly risky because thats when the most players come and thats when they tend to die but some do make it to the end. its a very lonely time. being chosen as a watcher is like being picked for the army or jury duty you dont get to pick when or if you become a watcher they only rule is you have to be a certain age and of average strength
same rules as the lost brutes apply to watchers; if they gone when people start waking up, they are given a burial. if they return after their burial they are shunned all the same. even though its a highly respected role, no one gets to come back after being suspected dead. its the rules. by the time they return their role wouldve already been taken and they wouldve had no use within the huddle

You have no idea how much I cherish all of your kids
🍁🌼☘️ Ladybug
🍃 Sugar Rush
🌈 Raspberry Dazzle and Zinnia
❄️ Hare
☁️ Duckpaw
🌸 Jasperchasm
🌲 Vervain Vesper 👁️
🍁Favorite Ladybug moment HAS to be the time Jasperchasm took her to the gathering place and they had it all to themselves. That was where we started actually shipping the two of them I think and it was just so sweet...I go back and read it sometimes bc of how sweet they both were to each other.
🌼Alternate name...I really love Ladybug lol so I havent thought about it too much honestly. I had an old of named Beetlebird though and I think that name would be really cute! Since "Lady Beetle" and "Lady Bird" are both other names for Ladybugs :)
🍀Romance with Ladybug and Jasper for sure!! They need more development!! To stop being dumb!! I would love to develop more of her friendships with the other mothers of the clan as well. And I think it would be real nice to befriend Jasper's family members as well, especially Ravine.
🌈 I want Razz to gain some confidence!!!! Its been so fucking difficult to get the bot to cooperate and its annoying. She was meant to have confidence issues but I was hoping someone would have helped her along at this point...but maybe soon!
🌈 I would like it if Zinnia reconnected with her romantic side. Considering her first ever crush (and best friend) kind of left her for dead... She's forgotten that anyone can actually have feelings for her. I've talked about it a bit with another rper so we have scheduled a bit of an arc with them...unsure if it will go into romance but we will see! Exciting!!
❄ Hare...god he says so much good shit.
"I like ta think I got a brain rattlin' around up in there!"
"Ya cant jus' say that after someone goes an' pours their heart out ta ya!"
"I'll take a look-see. If one o' us is gonna get in trouble fer crossin' the border it should be the guy who has a higher chance o' gettin' away wit' it."
And my ALL TIME FAVE:
"I jus' told ya I don't wanna hurt 'er an' the first thang ya take from that is that I'm some sort o' lily liver?;; I respec' Turtle. Even if I am late ta tellin' 'er an' she goes fer someone else, it won't matter. Ma feelin's ain't gonna change an' I ain't gonna suddenly start havin' a problem wit' 'er 'cause she followed 'er heart. I'm bein' patient 'cause I think that's what she needs. If I lose out 'cause o' it, then it prolly weren't meant ta be.;; I'm still gonna like 'er an' we're still gonna be friends regardless o' who holds 'er heart in their paws. Maybe ya should mind yer own bus'ness instead o' givin' advice fer cats ya left behind..?"
🌸 I adore Jasper's relationship with Newt. Like theyre best friends who are also in love with each other but also bully the shit out of one another??? They're so funny! But they care about each other so much too. They're kinda like brothers at this point I think, just bc of how close they've gotten and I know the romance arc of them has since been kinda retconned with the introduction of Lady (lmao sorry dudes). Alternatively his relationship with Hare is just so sweet. Jasper really is a great family member, regardless of what role he takes or if theyre biological. He just has so much love to give!
🌲 Vervain Vesper...I mean I think its a given that I ship her with Rose Light. But also recently Andante Noon!! Honestly the 3 of them are all so good together and idc if they end up in a throuple but I want at least two of them to get together!!! Make it happen!! *bangs fists on table*
