As a worm fan I have to speak up about the best character in worm, the greatest hero in worm, a tragic and severely underappreciated character (I've seen like 1 fanfic with him in. And it was a pretty mediocre one imo) and a character I seem to be the only fan of.

The most powerful man in the world. Kevin Norton.

This is gonna be a big ramble and I have not planned this out and it's gonna contain a shit ton of worm spoilers so ignore if you don't want to be spoiled.

And considering its involved in his backstory, trigger warning for homophobia, rape, homelessness, and partner abuse.

Kevin Norton, unhoused gay English man.

We get 2 versions of Kevin's backstory, the one he tells Lisette and the one from scions interlude.

I'm pulling this from memory so please forgive me for errors.

To her he says essentially he went to college, got a girlfriend. Lived with her for a while, and eventually realised he was gay. When he informed his girlfriend it didn't go well, got abusive, and eventually he left, to live on the streets. There he, eventually, found Scion (and Duke, his dog, the more important character). Scion at the time wasn't exactly a hero. He had healed Vikare and his sister and he definitely wasn't a villain, he just sortof floated around. Kevin goes off on him about all Kevin's been through, how dare he look sad etc. And tells him to help people. And Scion listens, and begins to help. Later he meets with Scion a few more times, to talk to him.

Then there's scions interlude. Its about the same, with one slight difference. He explicitly mentions that he has been raped. I don't believe, off the top of my head, that it's made explicit it was his former girlfriend, but l feel that's very obvious.

I live in Britain, and I've seen a lot of people on the streets like Kevin. I doubt any of them are talking to alien god beings but many of them are on the streets for very similar reasons to Kevin. LGBTQ+ people get kicked out a lot when they come out, many do end up on the street like Kevin when the homophobia from their family or partners becomes too much. There are also a lot of people with abusive partners who end up on the street, or who, upon realising they are LGBTQ+, get a very negative response.

He is a character who's suffering a lot. But, and I don't phrase it like this to minimise it, it is a mundane sort of suffering. He didn't end up on the street because Behemoth sent a lightning bolt through his house, or the slaughterhouse nine altered his face to look like Jack Slashes, or even a possible but still unusual form of suffering like Taylors locker.

The tale of Kevin Norton (minus scion) is one that no doubt countless people are going through now. And I know it's kinda tiring that a lot of stories of LGBTQ+ people revolve around our suffering, but idk, I'm fine with it here.

And yet, and this is the thing that sticks in my brain and makes him so intriguing to me, he doesn't ask Scion to fix it. Kevin Norton dies of a disease (cant remember which), and he knows Scion could cure it. The first thing he did was cure a man's cancer. And Scion could easily give him whatever he needs to live, whether directly with his powers or by just yknow, asking Scion to take him to a nearby hero team and going 'hey, I command Scion and made him a hero, I've saved millions of lives through this, can I have a house'.

So... why doesn't Kevin ask for that.

There's 2 answers I can think of, the selfless (but still kinda depressing) and the full on depressing.

The first is that he recognises scion has so many people to save and doesn't want him wasting time he could be spending saving 10 peoples lives to help him live better. In this interpretation, Kevin has made his peace with living on the street, and with his eventual death.

The second is that Kevin Norton is tired. He has suffered a lot, he has lived on the street for years, he has borne the emotional burden of being the man who commands the strongest hero in the world, and he has discovered that he could have done so much more, if he had just phrased things differently. In this interpretation, Kevin Norton just doesn't want to go on.

There's other possible interpretations, but in truth I think it lies somewhere between these.

There's something tragic about him that captures me. The greatest hero in the world, who has likely saved more people than any member of the triumvirate, and he likely dies alone, bar perhaps his dog, with only one other person knowing what he did. His last act as a hero, is to pass on the torch, an act he clearly feels guilty about, knowing the burden its been for him.

And that's captivating to me. And I don't know if I've even fully explained why.

I like to think he died after hearing of Behemoths death. He would know he had fixed his mistake, and performed a last, great act of heroism.

And there's something to say about how, for only a small kindness of money and a few minutes, he made Lisette the most powerful woman in the world. I try, when I can, to give money and time to the people I see on the streets. But I don't always have money, or time, and whenever I walk away I always feel a great amount of guilt. I'd like to think the little helps I give make as big an impact as Lisettes to Kevin's, but I doubt it. We don't have alien god beings.

Perhaps his rant to Scion was unfair. He didn't know Scions perspective or history. Scion could have suffered a lot. But it was very real. An outburst of a man so powerless and suffering to one who seems to have all the power in the world and is doing nothing with it. There's something about that that resonates with me, despite having had a pretty privileged life myself.

Speaking of privilege, this is sortof a tacked on note but there's something interesting to note about the stories 2 more impactful (in setting) gay male characters.

We have Legend and Norton.

Legend has a lot of power and influence, he has a husband and an adopted son. He definitely suffers from homophobia, not taking that away from him, but he lives pretty well. His suffering doesn't come from his living situation, but from external forces: Endbringers, supervillains, the weight of the entity over his head, the lies of his teammates etc. He has done good. He has saved many.

Norton suffers because of his living situation. He suffers very directly from homophobia, as essentially the cause of his living situation. Other than Scion he likely hasn't really been directly impacted by Cape stuff much. He has done good, he has saved many.

They both have such drastically opposite lives, and you can see it in their relationship to the being that plays an important part in both their stories. Scion. To Kevin he's a seemingly mentally broken man who has saved thousands under his direction. To Legend he's a Venus fly trap, an entity appearing heroic waiting to destroy hundreds.

Under a certain perspective, you could argue both are right.

You could also make a point about how privilege can shield you from some of the worst impacts of homophobia and seeing that by comparing them etc etc but I find such conversations often end up being very dismissive and suffering Olympicsy, and don't feel entirely qualified to talk about it as I am a not out trans woman, not a gay man, and only know about that effect of privilege in relation to homophobia second hand, from discussions other people have had. If other people want to talk about that who have more experience there, feel free.

There's more to say about these two characters, but I can't grasp it right now.

One last point I want to make.

Fiction... does not treat people living on the streets very well. It would have been very easy to have Kevin being a raving man, wearing a tinfoil hat and ranting about how powerful he is. And many other stories would have.

And to a degree, he does initially come off as such, and it appears that Lisette, for a moment, thinks he is after hearing him talk about being The Most Powerful Man and so on.

But he isn't. We get in his head and he's never treated as anything but a human being in a terrible situation.

I don't know what else to say about this part of it other than that his interlude is very well done, and while there's a lot you can, and people have, say about how Wildbow handles certain subjects, I think he did well here.

Also he has a cute loyal dog and one of the best interludes in worm.

I stan Kevin Norton

she is driven by powerful forces I scarcely understand. that's what love has done to her, I guess. (Arthur's journal, regarding Sadie Adler)

I've been trying to gather my thoughts on this quote for days and nothing feels quite powerful enough to convey what it might mean, but I'm going to try.

Arthur loved Mary. Still loves her, in my opinion, but knows they cannot be together. The quintessential "doomed by the narrative" couple who, even in another lifetime, might not ever get their day in the sun because as much as they both want it, it really could never work.

Sadie was married to a man she loved with all her heart and soul. We don't get a lot of information about their background, but judging by their cozy homestead, the wedding picture on the mantle, her weeks of grief and isolation following his untimely death, I really think they were deeply in love. True love, passionate even. There were no children to speak of, so I imagine that even with all the chores required to keep up their little ranch, they made plenty of time for each other to keep that flame alive. And to have that ripped away so suddenly- not just that, but to have her entire life's work burned to the ground and then for her to be rescued by some rough, tough rival outlaw gang and torn away from all that she'd probably ever known as a young woman had to alter her brain chemistry in permanent, devastating ways.

Arthur's life hasn't been all sunshine and roses, either, but Mary has always been part of it. Even when they weren't together, even when he ran with the gang and she married someone else and he didn't hear from her for years, he still knew she was alive. He was able to rest in the fact that even though he couldn't be with her the way he wanted to, he knew she was alive and well. That alone let him sleep at night, I think.

Arthur and Sadie both know what love feels like, but only Sadie knows what it feels like to have loved and lost in the truest sense of the word. So when she goes completely off the rails during the Shady Belle raid, I think Arthur is just in awe. He watches her savagely kill, without remorse, without a second thought, without any inhibition whatsoever, and he's totally gobsmacked, if not a little bit scared of her and what she might be capable of. He's always respected her, but I think after that incident, he acquires a newfound confidence in her that maybe he didn't have before. Powerful forces he cannot understand– grief, rage, pain that cuts so deep it changes a person. He's felt them all too at some point in his life, but he doubts that he's ever felt them the way Sadie does.

Jojolands 13: Ohana Means I'll Set Your Ass on Fire

Dragona dropping some great truth about the absurd in this bizarre adventure. We finally got a peak behind that mask. I love it and I hate it, if you've read the chapter already you know what I mean. We'll get to that, because this right here isn't spoilery and it was such a cool nugget.

I love the way Dragona talks about the "absurd." Chance moments that alter one's life for better or for worse. The things that just don't make sense. Especially paired with Dragona opining about nearly losing their heart in the same chapter that last part about hearts being destroyed hits hard. I'm definitely sure we're looking at a trans narrative here and one we'll see play out. The chapter does a good job of implying what we need to know. Nudges at an early theory you've been changing your body with Smooth Operator. We ready? What follows is no place for beginners or sensitive hearts:

Oh HELL yes! As if I needed a reason, these two were well on their way to top Jojo status and now the dynamic duo of the Joestar Siblings are definitely there. Mean girl sets her sights on a much more timid Dragona who we now know looked way more masculine at 14 than 18. Talking physical build and not just fashion. You know, I don't expect an 18yo to have all that figured out and with this I do think we'll see her keep coming into her own. But holy shit that was fucked up and I sincerely hope we can get through the rest of this with no more sexual assault on my Jojos blorbo.

If they do...Jodio will fuck you up. Set a whole damn bus on fire! And while I'm not looking forward to having to relive the impetus in the inevitable anime adaptation, since we've already had the cop I kinda like the perpetrator being a girl here. For one because it shows a side of this kind of bigotry that often goes underrepresented. You see a little more space made typically for trans men who had bad experiences with men prior to coming out, largely because it tends to overlap with those who found a comfortable half-step in something like a radical feminist group. But this sets up Dragona pretty well for a realistic other side of the coin to that. Your experiences with bullying might make you a little skittish of girls your age, you keep a foot in this criminal world even if we keep showing you (not unlike Okiku) as someone who doesn't fit super well, all this would certainly explain why you'd gravitate towards a figure like Meryl Mei. Why there's great potential for drama if she shows a nastier side. It's all great for a trans story that justifies still figuring yourself out through it...but sticks to a fairly realistic path for a lot of young women who find themselves running with gangs.

All that said, Jodio you absolute freak. Burning the whole bus is metal, it's scruffy, he's protecting family. Doooooope. These two are fantastic and I can't wait to explore their story, their dynamic more. Jodio & Dragona's sibling bond is the beating heart of this part. As much as I love Kiku/Izo & Killua/Alluka yeah this is gonna be a banger. Speaking of, this chapter was also the second time we nudged at Jodio getting shit for looking fey too. These two are ride or die for each other and their awesome mom Barbara Ann. How this all ties into their family falling apart and their desire to become filthy rich? No need to ask...

In lighter news. They. When Meryl learns of the other lava rock that got smashed. We're all clear on who's the brains and who's the firepower in the dynamic duo right? I trust Meryl as far as I can throw her and she's a big lady. But for now everything seems on the up-and-up. Charmingman seems to have passed the sniff test and yeah it looks like he's just going to hang around. I like this new setup. Scouting a shadowy company to see if we can get more lava rock.

All in all one of the best chapters of Jojolands so far. I'm loving it, this is the exact direction I hoped it'd go. The backstory made this pretty heavy and I hope we can have more fun with this gang on the new excursion.

HOLD UP HOLD UP WHAT IF DEMON CHUUYA'S CULT BROUGHT HIS DARLING TO HIS ALTER AS A SACRIFICE??? WHAT WOULD CHUUYA DO??? I NEED TO KNOW. WOULD HE TAKE THE SACRIFICE BEFORE THEY COULD SPILL HIS DARLING'S BLOOD AND THEN KEEP IT AS A LIVE SACRIFICE OR WOULD HE NOT ENTERTAIN THE IDEA AT ALL AND BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIS FOLLOWERS?? OR WOULD HE DO SOMETHING ELSE THAT MY SMOOTH BRAIN CANT THINK OF?

AAAAAA I LOVE THIS CONCEPT IM SORRY

ideally, the cult never does find out about you, since chuuya doesn't communicate w them much. he doesn't want them to know about you ('cos who knows how they'd take it, right? and also because he doesn't want you mingling w them; only him). but on the off chance the minute they bring you in, i like to think chuuya has a sixth sense for you, and he immediately comes to find that you were about to be killed...in his name.

he's furious. so angry that the room fills with a palpable sense of tension and his previously confident followers are now suddenly second-guessing their decision, and trembling in unexplainable fear. chuuya just takes you out of there. he doesn't give an explanation to the followers, and he doesn't have to. a visit from him is so rare that they're left speechless and on edge. who could know if he was going to come back and kill them all?

they do receive appropriate punishment; chuuya makes sure they suffer sleepless nights filled with horrifying and hyperrealistic nightmares, fills them with a constant sense of dread, and makes sure their personal lives fall apart—of course, this all only serves to make his followers more desperate to earn his favor, and sends them all closer to him. except this time, they are more careful with what they decide to do so to appease him...

in the demon au, chuuya doesn't really care about what goes on in his cult as long as they don't like. defame him. But i do have an ask about chuuya w a darling who joins his cult (separate from the roommate thing in the demon au) so maybe i'll explore the idea of a 'live sacrifice' there :>

I've been in a Batfamily mood again, and now I wanna remake my Moon Knight x Batman crossover AU cause it has been rotting my brain since November and THIS was the only thing I have ever made for it, asjdksajdkla

(Based off of this post)

Some details, to let my Brainrot Out:

Listen, I know we all love adding our favorite characters into the Batfamily because that group ABSOLUTELY needs more trouble and unhinged behavior, but like. This isn't just adding another kid into the family. This is adding Marc, Steven, AND Jake.

Why does every crossover character have to be the youngest addition?? Why Not the OLDEST addition?? Revoke that Eldest Child License from Dick, imagine THIS: Marc would be around three years older than Dick, and while he would be Bruce's second ward, he would throw that shit around like the law. "Well, I'm older, so I get to pick the first character for Mario Party, and screw YOU, *I'M* choosing Peach!" type behavior

Dick: "Well, Bruce adopted me first so I was here before you, I get to play Peach!!"

Bruce is having a hard time figuring out how to go about this

Marc/Steve/Jake all adore Dick and would die for him. Killing is off of the table, unfortunately.

Everyone is supportive of Steven and Jake, treating Marc’s alters with respect! I love the idea of Bruce or Alfred giving them a journal so that they can keep up with which alter did what that day, and Dick giving them different colored bracelets so that they can tell which alter is fronting at the moment. The three of them actually having parental and sibling support, can I get a HELL YEAH!!

Marc/Steven/Jake being adopted by billionaire Bruce Wayne after running away from home and not having any upfront memories of how he got to Gotham, but knowing that he doesn’t want to go back to his abusive mom and his negligent dad. Emergency Custody is a hell of a drug!

I have no idea how stuff goes down until Jason gets taken in, so consider this instead: Jake and Jason arguing about the morality of killing. Steven and Jason reading together. Marc and Jason doing competitive training. Think about it. Let the thoughts infest you.

Marc and Jake: "I'm not doing free babysitting!"

Steven: "I will, though!"

Steven and Alfred bonding while cooking and Steve is infodumping about his current research project, doN'T TOUCH ME

Cass joins the family early too, because I say so. And Cass wouldn't need the bracelets to see who is fronting in that moment, she would KNOW, and she will either: pester Marc, love on Steven, or pester Jake.

Cass would adore Steven.

We don't talk about the big explosive Elephant in the Room just yet, nope, so instead consider this: Tim coming in and realizing that Moon Knight really is just Like That. Marc would say, "Another one?? Really??" Steve would say "This one is smart and adds onto my research and just spoke to me for 8 hours straight about arthropods, I have found my new real brother", Jake would say "He's a little stalking freak, I like him already"

Jake and Damian is a brotherly match made in hell. Watch the fuck out.

Just. Just Listen to me...just listen...why wouldn’t a morally grey vigilante by the name of Moon Knight NOT fit the bat motif???

Also, Marc/Steve/Jake would get the Moon Knight powers either as a meta-human with a connection to the Egyptian god, Avatars being able to be chosen at birth, or getting them super early through weird means! I think it'd be neat!

Thank you for listening, I hope I gave you Moon Son brainrot

#Marc Spector #jake lockley #steven grant #Moon Knight #dick grayson #Robin #Eldest Son Moon Knight is something that I actually CRAVE #FUCK #I NEED IT #batfamily #batman #Listen I have only seen fics with Marc x Bruce and like #Valid but also consider this: Moon Son Shenanigans #If people can add Danny or Billy into the Bats then I should be able to add the biggest blorbo of them all #Moon Son Propaganda #my art

Eighth Sense Ep 2 Rewatch

Ok, listen. Am I watching this show and playing video games at the same time? Yes. Does that mean I am missing a lot? Yes.

But! The facial blurs when it comes to JaeWon seem very intentional and is especially evident when they are in the water:

Now, okay, there is 200% room for argument here that all the blurriness is because the cameraman is most likely filming in the water with a go-pro and has little to no control over the video quality. And that is totally something that can be true. And that is also totally something that would disguise any intentional, purposeful point of the blurriness in this moment.

And there is something else I noticed, the colors in this scene. Thanks, as always to @respectthepetty for turning me into a color monster.

The way the light refracts off of JiHyun's wetsuit makes the colors seem distorted.

Camera issue? Sure! But could it be another indication of JaeWon's altered mental status? Why the fuck not! I mean, we don't know how his brother died yet. Personally, my theory is that he drowned. Because so much of this show is water centric, because of the fish tank and the fact that our title card for Episode 2 is literally JaeWon surrounded by a fish tank as if he is under water.

I think it would be extra super spicy sad if it was when JaeWon was teaching his brother to surf. Just for the ~trauma~, and cause if that is true, then the blurriness and the distorted colors here once again is intentional, and is brilliantly capable of being written off by the audience as just difficult filming conditions.

So again, if that is the case, the blurriness is the altered mental status. And we can take that however we want, medically induced alteration, cognitive dissonance, anxiety, dissociation, all of them.

If the water killed JaeWon's brother, then being in the water would make him feel close to his brother and also be a great punishment for JaeWon. If his brother died learning to surf, then to teach a person the same age as his brother would have been would remind him of all that he had lost but give him that moment of soft remembrance to the person he loved most in the world.

And GOD we see this blurriness, much less obviously, but very rapidly cutting back and forth in the shower scene in Episode 3.

Out of focus

In focus.

Back and forth and back and forth every couple seconds like the camera isn't quite able to stick on his face. JaeWon wants to be present in this moment, JaeWon is fighting to remain in his body, tied to his emotions, tied to this person, so he is slipping in and out of focus because he's trying to fight the numbness and the brain fog.

And again, you cannot tell me this man is not dissociating. I'm sorry but those are some dead fucking eyes. This man is shut down, this man is not present in this conversation with his ex. Why would he be? Why would he try to be? He has no reason to fight the numbness he feels.

And we're back on the color train for JaeWon with JiHyun, with this soft pink light around his head when he joins JiHyun on the beach for their late night kiss conversation about fear.

Methinks JaeWon fears feeling anything, hence the hint towards drug dependence in Episode 6. I think it is so much easier for him to just be numb to the world so he doesn't have to feel the pain of the loss he suffered.

Anyway, the more I watch this show through the lens of mental illness, the more the camerawork is standing out to me with how and when they blur faces, and how it really only is JaeWon whose face is blurred when he's supposed to be in frame. Obviously there are instances where character's faces are going to be blurred because they are in the foreground or background, or they are not the focal point of the conversation. But JaeWon goes blurry far more often than anyone else does.

#the eighth sense #t8s #i'm sorry bengyio i know you want it to be real #i think maybe it is real #but i am stuck on the mental illness train and cant get off it now #jaewon #jihyun #jaewon x jihyun #the eighth sense theory #the eighth sense ep 2

I am never beating the Dirk allegations

CONTENT WARNING: mention of system integration

Today is my birthday, and as always that means I am reflecting on myself and the ways I've changed throughout my life. Let's talk about my relationship to Dirk Strider and how I've started calling myself a "kinnie" despite hating the word.

There's a running joke in my friend group, that when I say certain things people respond "Okay, Dirk." and I pretend to be offended. This is of course in reference to the character Dirk Strider from Homestuck, my favorite guy that I study and rotate in my mind every single second of every day. They love doing it and I encourage it, and the more it happens the more I find myself reflecting on it.

I don't know how I feel about it.

I guess it feels good, and makes me feel seen, but having awakened as fictionkin many years ago I can't say it's the same kind of feeling as when people acknowledge me as my kintypes. But lately it has started to affect me.

I've talked in the past about how my BPD and alterhumanity intersect, namely that I have a very thin sense of self. A part of that manifested in me becoming a robot after a friend I'm very close to decided to acknowledge me as one, the statement ringing so true that I changed in accordance. I became someone else.

I do not label myself as robotkin(d) or machinekin(d), because a robot is simply a thing I am. Appending -kin(d) feels to me like i am putting distance between me and being a robot, because my kintypes are only parts of me. There is a me that would still exist if you took the anomalocaris or the Vriska or the Kevin out, but if you took the robot out I would be a fully different person. That's what it means to me, at least.

So is that what's happening to me right now? Am I, in a sense, in the process of becoming Dirk Strider through a similar chain of events? Well, yes, I believe I am.

But there is something else. An event I have put off reflecting upon, mainly because it wasn't a very fun time. In 2019, the Homestuck Epilogues dropped, and my system collapsed- I was already having an incredibly hard time in my personal life and the harshness of the text, triggering subject matter, and my altered state of mind due to having been drinking at the time all collided to create a trauma response in us that caused us all to integrate.

We all had to rebuild ourselves as separate people in the thirty minutes that followed, and in that moment I think I absorbed a non-insignificant portion of the very text that caused this to happen. I now believe my brain processed the event through the lens of Ultimate Dirk.

Unlike with my Vriska theriotype, I don't believe this caused me to actually become the character. Though both have similar origins as responses to trauma, Ult!Dirk was a framework my mind came up with to rebuild itself rather than a conscious choice I made to cope with a bad situation.

I did not feed this particular change for a long time, and when other people started doing it for me I was more puzzled than anything. I was genuinely a little offended at first, because the statement was factually wrong, but as time goes on it's starting to become true. It felt wrong for a long time, until it eventually... didn't.

For better or for worse, the word "kinnie" is the only one that I feel fits my current state with regards to this. I wish there was a better one, but it's the one that clicks- if being a robot is simply a truth about what I am, and my kintypes are part of me, then Ult!Dirk is currently one level removed from that. This is why the word is currently useful to me, not that I'm really happy about it.

I am fully aware that to a lot of people even admitting that's what I've been calling it makes me sound less serious about my alterhumanity, and I am actively looking for a better term. These birthday writings only reflect where I currently am in my life, even if it's messy, and this is where I am. Maybe by next year this will have changed, but only time will tell.

Follow up: Metaphysical Musings

Fair warning up front, this ramble goes the places that your brain goes when it's 3am and you're in a hospital ER hooked up to an ECG to see if your heart is about to give its two-weeks notice (spoiler: it appears to just be an asshat, but not actually about to quit on me). Putting it behind a cut because it goes really metaphysical as I muse about the nature of what we leave behind.

Over the past little while, I've been trying to work on some things. Finishing stories, and over on my alter-ego's (or, rather, I guess, my original-ego's) YouTube channel, lots of tutorial videos to help teachers starting with Minecraft Education learn to do cool stuff when building worlds. And entertaining some ideas with my partner-in-crime when it comes to Minecraft Education about maybe starting something like "EduSMP" (or probably CMP, if we're being honest, since I don't think either of us can resist using command blocks for long) because we just have so much fun bouncing ideas off each other and we laugh so hard. And I've been thinking about why I've been feeling more and more of a drive to make these things.. I only have one video of my Mum. It's also the only recording I have of her voice. It's a few seconds long, made when my Dad accidentally set the camera to video instead of photo. And it's one of the most important things to me. And these last nineteen months have been really hard. It's a roller coaster with goods days and bad days, and on the good days I have a lot of hope that one day science will figure it out and I'll feel better. And on bad days, like when you're walking out of an ER at 4am with a questionable relationship with what is essentially the biological engine that runs your body, I think about that video. And I think a big part of the drive I've had lately to finish stories and make these videos is so that, if things don't go the way I hope, I leave something of myself behind, and it would make me feel better knowing it's something positive to entertain or help people. And maybe I've got another 50 years ahead of me (or 500, if the whole uploading to a robot body thing comes through). But if the footprint I end up leaving on the Earth is some things that entertain or comfort or amuse people, that teach people cool things, and show people who I am while I do it, I don't know that I'd call it a legacy, per-se, but I think it's a footprint I could be proud of.

Okay okay I know the death doula is causing a lot of discourse rn but I’m not focused on that I’m more focused on the potential my brain supplied from this idea, I mean a living funeral and buck interested in some capacity to a death doula this in my head can so easily equal buck making slightly morbid comments about his death and near death experiences or saying something about how he understands why someone would want a living funeral and he would wanna know what it would be like and then Eddie just having an absolutely batshit response to Buck nonchalantly talking about his death

(like for any teen wolf fans remember that scene where stiles goes off at Lydia saying “See, that's the problem. You–you don't care about getting hurt. But you know how I'll feel? I'll be devastated. And if you die, I will literally go out of my freakin' mind. You see, death doesn't happen to you, Lydia. It happens to everyone around you, okay? To all the people left standing at your funeral, trying to figure out how they're gonna live the rest of their lives now without you in it!” )

IMAGINE SOME VERSION OF THAT ITS SO GOOD IT MAKES MY BRAIN SCREECH INCOHERENTLY

Like imagine IMAGINE it alter it to your liking add a reference to Christopher losing another parent or saying how he was dead (for 3 minutes and 17 seconds) and how Buck has no idea how that felt

UGH IT ACTUALLY MAKES ME FERAL TO THINK ABOUT

#bonus points if he does this in front of firefam and co and the room just goes silent and everyone is like 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀is it finally happening?#my brain finds scenarios that make me sob from synopsis that make me go what?🤨#take a shot everytime I say like #if anyone wants to fic this I would literally die please go ahead I can’t write but this scenario NEEDS to exist #911 speculation #not really I’m manifesting and mentally making up scenarios I know won’t happen #buddie #evan buck buckley #evan buckley #911 #eddie diaz #teen wolf #teen wolf did one thing perfectly right and that was stydia scenes #stydia #these will be my favourite slowburn couples if the writers actually give us what we want and let buddie go canon #my posts

Sam Winchester x multiples of 5 for the ask game!

LIV!! hi!!!! yes thank you i will always take an opportunity to ramble about samuel william winchester my darling my beloved my everything

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

oh my god this is such a tough question because there are multiple ;-; one is definitely bubblegum bitch because of that legendary edit. another is "something super sweet" by rory webley which as YOU already know is my season 8-9 sam anthem of choice. there are also like a whole bunch of coldplay songs that i think of right away...trouble is probably the biggest one, but paradise and hurts like heaven are definitely up there. and those are not even the only coldplay songs on my sam playlist akjfhdjkfhdjk he's so coldplay-coded. to me. and just for you. just because it is you who asked this question. forget to remember, by mudvayne. from the saw II soundtrack.

(i did an AWFUL job answering the original question but idc!!! i love music, sue me :P)

10. Could you be best friends with this character?

yes. my toxic trait is that i honestly do believe i could be besties with sam winchester. when i'm watching the show i often find myself saying stuff that sam then says seconds after me. he and i could be true crime girlies together (leave me alone okay i promise i'm normal about it). we have drift compatible autism i just know it. we could therapize each other i think

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

ok now you're just indulging me :P the answer is and has always been and will always be WINCEST. SAMDEAN. THE BLOWJOB BROTHERS. how can you not love them. they're brothers they're mother and son they're best friends they're coworkers they're affair partners they're married they're divorced they've got puppy crushes on each other and they have the deepest and most profound love in the universe. they're everything and i love them and i'll never get them out of my brain as long as i live. when i get old and develop alzheimer's i will forget my own mother's name before i forget about them, i just know it. i have never been more autistic about anything than i am about them. to say they've altered my brain chemistry would be the understatement of the millennium. they are everything and i owe my gf my ENTIRE LIFE for showing me a post about sex and violence and opening my eyes to the truth of the wincest gospel

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

oh no this is a tough one too...especially because i haven't finished the show yet ;-; but just from what i know so far...i do think i have to pick rowena. i'm biased as fuck because i think they should have let sam learn to do witchcraft but also. they're just really funny together. and i think crowley and dean would both be really pissed.

honorable mention goes to pre-ahbl ava because i love ava and i've also seen hunted like six times for. um. reasons. and they're just so cute when she's helping him investigate ;-; meg 2.0 might also have been kinda funny.

conclusion: give! sam!! a girlbestie!!!! please!!!!!!

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

ok this one is slightly unfair because i went in knowing i was and would be a samgirl. i had technically seen some of the show before i started for real last october (though i only remembered pieces of the pilot and pieces of mystery spot) and because sam is ~the intellectual one~ (and the one with longer hair. lmao) i was almost certain he'd be more my type than dean.

BUT. INTERESTINGLY. i do think i was actually kind of a stealth deangirl at first. either that or i'm just Easily Manipulated cause i totally fell for dean's unreliable narration and let myself get mad at sam for things i don't hold against him at all anymore. that's not to say i've turned my back on dean, i adore him, but sam !!!! sam!!!!! he's my everything and he's never done anything wrong in his LIFE.

also. fun and terrible fact. back when i was still watching the first few seasons i used to cringe at any screenshots of him in seasons like. 11 or later. i hate change and convinced myself he looked terrible for the entire latter third of the series. can you believe that. it's so funny though because now i'm like. ok. best sam look, mid-late s8. but SECOND best? SEASON 12. HOLY SHIT SEASON 12 SAM. JESUS CHRIST. i finally saw american nightmare the other day and they hit me with the back-to-back priest outfit and red sweater and i was about to faint like some kind of victorian maiden. hoooooly shit. something something frog in boiling water or whatever but oh my god. late seasons sam. cannot believe i turned my back on him for so long. shameful!!!!

anyway !!! THANK YOU for sending in this ask aaa im sorry i went so crazy on it shfdkjhkdjfhdk i'll really be making the lightest commentary in my tags and almost zero personal posts and then someone sends me an ask and all of a sudden i become the world's chattiest cathy. yes this is an open invitation for anyone to send me asks at any time btw. give me more reasons to be chatty (if you dare)!!!

#RRRAAAHHHHH I LOVE SAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#i will go on about him ANYTIME ANYWHERE FOR ANY REASON #sam winchester #spn #ask game #keithposting #;

Some thoughts about storytelling and TV shows.

I'm going through a stressful time right now (for happy reasons, though!) and so I've fallen a little bit in a habit of watching random episodes of various shows I'm interested in before bed. Because I'm impatient and my brain goes a million kilometers per hour, I can't help but read IMDB pages and look at tumblr gifs, so a lot of the stuff I watched is already "spoiled" for me (in quotations marks because these are called spoilers, but they don't always stop me from watching a a show or take away from my enjoyment of it).

This post contains spoilers.

I watched Sports Night in the last two weeks because of Aaron Sorkin's writing and it made me think about how much the constraints coming for the network producing the show influence the story. The show was marketed as a comedy, even featured a laugh track in the first season, the episodes were only 20 minutes, and it didn't survive past the second season. The ratings were just not good. There are plenty of interesting themes in this show that I felt were only superficially explored and I blame it on all of the factors I listed. We didn't get a deep dive into Dan's mental health issues, because it wouldn't have been very funny. We didn't get any closure on the Dana and Casey situation, because the show ended prematurely. There was very little debate about the importance of sports and sports journalists, because the episodes were only 20 minutes, and they also had to contain jokes and relationship drama and an obligatory heartfelt monologue at the end. I'm so, so happy that Sorkin remade this idea into The Newsroom, a much more serious show, with a bigger budget, the ability to say fuck and a timeline that feels complete. It was an idea so good it was worth a second try and it paid off. It made me think about all the ideas I wasn't skilled enough to make happen, it made me think about all my past projects that deserve a second chance and it made me at peace with the concept of reusing writing that I love in new ways. Nothing is ever truly lost.

I watched a few episodes of The Good Wife because of Josh Charles and Matt Czuchry (only Matt was not enough to convince me to watch a seven season legal drama). I found them interesting, compelling, and I love they way they were filmed and colored (they remind me of Suits and The Newsroom, which both aired around the same era of television; some parallels to think about here). But I couldn't help myself and I read the IMDB page of the show, which told me Josh Charles' character dies in the middle of season 5. I watched that episode (minus epsilon, plus epsilon, which is a fun way for me of saying I also watched the episode before and after) and I liked how the story portrayed the sudden death of an important person in the characters' lives, the grief and the dissonance that come with going through a life altering event before lunch and having to continue the rest of the day among people who have no idea what just happened. It's a good piece of writing and in real life death does happen at inconvenient times, it does make you ask why over and over again with no answers to be had, so the death of a beloved character in the middle of a season is anything but unrealistic. But I couldn't help wondering. Did it really happen because the writers thought it was an important story to be told, or did it happen because Josh Charles wanted to leave the show? (I haven't gone to investigate this thought). Was the story the most important thing considered here, or was simply a contract, a real life issue, dictating the story, taking it in a different direction that was originally planned? It made me think about how fickle of a medium TV is, about all the different ways in which parts of the story have to be sacrificed. It made me think about the different ways in which writers have to adaptable, about how in TV you are sometimes forced to kill your darlings instead of it being just good advice. And it made think about the fascinating process of writing a story with the help of a community, all these different people - actors, directors, editors - contributing to the story. It's not the writer at their desk controlling everything, it's a different beast entirely, a beast with many hearts.

#on writing #writerblr #writeblr #i'm putting it in these tags because it is very much an analysis of storytelling #on storytelling #sports night #the good wife #thoughts

(warning: accident)

omg I was going to never tell you this cause mc and all of them deserve only happiness in their lives, they've already gone through soo much I really hope nothing like this ever happens but the night I read the chapter where tae comes out and Jimin leaves, (i waited for at least two more chapters to pass before asking this) I had a dream that instead of catching Jimin just in time before he leaves and talking to him, the mc misses him driving away by a second and walks into the empty road and is calling after him to stop but jimin having already a few meters apart barely hears her and before his brain processes her call, he sees an out of control car with a drunk driver clashing into mc then there was like white noise....😭😭😭😭 then i woke up crying idk why my brain did this to me😭😭

this soo sad to ask but what do u think jimin would have going on in his mind during that moment how would he have reacted??

i can't even imagine how destroyed tae would be oh no i don't even want to think about that

also ik this is too sad u absolutely don't have to answer if u don't feel like it + love u💜

i've been thinking about this ask since i got it and i was kinda gonna keep the angst off of this page but FUCK this is such a good idea, i don't really like the sudden life altering events- at least to write them into bily because like you said- they deserve to be happy 🥺

i think that jimin incredibly good in a crisis, it's part of his autism/abuse/assassin mindset like- the second anything deathwise starts to happen he just like fucking goes into overdrive, he'd be doing chest compressions and stopping her bleeding, calling out for namjoon (he likely wouldn't be very far if it happened right outside the pack house)

god...tae would be a wreck, she and yoongi wouldn't be able to handle seeing the m/c like that. they'd be clinging to each other and maybe hobi while jin and namjoon asissted in keeping the m/c alive until the ambulance got there. it's unlikely namjoon would have let anyone go in the ambulance but him- since he is a doctor like...even yoongi.

hobi would be the one to drive the pack but everyone would get there in one peice. but seeing her alive- battered but breathing, blinking at them and reaching for yoongi- would let the floodgates go. they'd all be crying. i think the only one who would be stoic through all of it would be namjoon and jimin. although namjoon would break later- realizing that one of his packmates almost died- that would weigh heavily on him.

<3 thank you for sharing this lovely bily idea with me and with all of us <3

Which Disgaea Party would Persona Characters Join?

((After a while of thinking, I couldn't help but realize that I haven't done this yet. Instead of thinking about which Disgaea characters would join groups in other games, why not do the exact opposite? Starting things off with characters from the Persona series mainly because I still have P3 on the brain. Instead of going one group at a time though, I'm going to see which parties each persona character across the series would most likely join. For this list, I'm going to go over as many playable characters in the Persona series as I'm currently familiar with, which while it is definitely enough to warrant this to be a multiparter, but there are some characters that will slip through the cracks. Simply put, I've currently done only 2 playthroughs of Persona 1 (one with Yuka Ayase and another with Eriko Kirishima), finished Innocent Sin, but never played Eternal Punishment, and the only spin-offs I've played are P4 Arena and Persona Q1. I have PQ2, but didn't get far in it yet, I'm not really into rhythm games so I never touched any of the dancing spin-offs, watched my brother play some of Ultimax, but never played it myself, and I am debating on getting 5 Tactica at some point, but I'm currently not interested in 5 Scramble at all. So that should give you a good idea on who might be missing from this list. So with that out of the way, let's get started.

It's really hard for me to place Naoya Toudou in a specific group honestly. As I said before, his personality isn't as defined compared to the other main characters, though I have heard he is rather blunt at times and we know he's a gamer. That combined with him being the first main character kinda makes him being in Laharl's party adds up.

As a therapist, I can see Maki Sonomura trying to get into Evil Academy for the sake of looking into the heart bank. I don't think she'll try to use it like Maruki from P5, but might think of how to use it to help others deal with their identity crisis.

It's hard for me to place Masao Inaba in any of the groups too, but I think the best bets would be either the Rebel Army in Disgaea 5 or Pirilika's party in Disgaea 7 mainly because I can see him getting along with Zeroken or Yeyasu.

Same goes for Kei Nanjo as I can see him either learning to become successful from either Pirilika or Seraphina so he can become #1 in the world, or becoming their rivals.

Yuka Ayase would most likely join Zed's group, mainly so she can try to mooch off of Misedor's seemingly endless supply of cash, as he's most likely to share the wealth without her having to put work into it, unlike Pirilika who would try to convince her to put in some effort until she eventually gets kicked by Fuji, and Seraphina would shoot her for even thinking of trying to mooch off her or get to her dad.

Eriko Kirishima would probably join Laharl's group as they tend to go on the most chaotic and random adventures compared to everyone else. That and Naoya's there.

I think Yukino Mayuzumi might feel the need to help Zed save his sister in Disgaea 6. Maya Amano's not the only "Big Sis" character in this series. Hell, that's probably why the two became partners.

Speaking of Maya, I can see her joining almost any group as they're all likely to give her a good story for Coolest, but since Yukino's her partner, Zed's group is where she'll most likely go.

I think Tatsuya Suou would be an interesting member for Adell's group in Persona 2, (and not because he's the second protagonist). He and Adell may have conversations about their conflicting views when it comes to their families, though I can see him targeting Zenon for stealing humanity's memories.

Jun Kurosu would also join Adell's group for the sake of stopping Zenon as he's responsible for altering Veldime's nature and we all know how much he cares about plant life.

Now I can also see Lisa Silverman joining Adell's group because Tatsuya's there and wanting to stop Zenon's curse, but I can also see her joining Zed's group for pretty much the same reasons as Yuka Ayase from Persona 1.

I can see Eikichi Mishina joining either Adell's group or the Hades Party from Disgaea 4 specifically for trying rival Axel when it comes to music. Though I would say the Hades party might be more fitting since his Persona his Hades, and Valvatorez would be interested in the fact that he's the son of a sushi restaurant owner, though mainly so he can try some sardine based sushi crafted by a professional.

Minato Arisato could join Mao's group at Evil Academy as he would be used to the environment of an ever evolving dungeon that is Evil Academy, making it similar to Tartarus, as well as helping Mao overcome his past, but I can also see him joining the Hades Party because of the looming threat of Fear the Great.

Hamuko Arisato would join either Mao's group of the Hades party for the same reasons as Minato. Yeah their personalities may be polar opposites, but their goals are practically the same.

Yukari Takeba would probably join Zed's party in a heartbeat after discovering Super Reincarnation. Anyone who finished P3 should know why, but I can also see her joining Adell's party, not wanting to risk Zenon taking away humanity's memories after everything she and her friends went through, and I can see her relating to Adell pretty well.

Junpei Iori I can see joining either Mao's group, simply because he would be counted as an honor student there, which I can see him rubbing in Yukari's face about, or the Rebel Army in Disgaea 5, so he could fulfill his goal of being a hero and across multiple worlds at that.

Akihiko Sanada would join whichever group he would see giving him with the most challenge, so probably either Laharl's group, because of all the chaos he goes through on a regular basis, Adell's group, for the sake of fighting the God of All Overlords, or the Rebel Army, because war. I can also see him joining Zed's group because he knows the pain of losing a sister and would want to help Zed overcome that.

I actually have a tough time thinking about which group Fuuka would join. Maybe Mao's group in the Evil Academy for the same reason as Minato and Hamuko? That and to help Rutile with her relationship with Stella. That's the best I can come up with.

Mitsuru Kirijo on the other hand was piss easy to figure out. She'd join Fuji's group in Disgaea 7 in a heartbeat. The moment she finds out the existence of the infernal weapons, she would start collecting them to make sure they won't fall in the wrong hands!

Aigis would join Zed's group for the same reason as Yukari, Fuji's group to learn about the infernal weapons, especially Suisen and Ao, or the Hades Party for the same reason as Minato and Hamuko. You know what's sad and crazy, with her robotic body, Aigis would likely have less of a chance of having her body break down from using Super Reincarnation over and over again compared to Yukari. Like I said, the themes of Persona 3 and Disgaea 6 really don't mix.

Koromaru's in the same boat as Naoya. I can see him joining any group he wants, aside from maybe Zed's group in 6 because of Zed's relationship with Cerberus. That's not going to look well on the surface for him.

Ken Amada would join the Rebel Army as he was also on the path of revenge. Granted, it's not against Void Dark, but it's still something he can connect with the other overlords about.

Shinjiro Aragaki might join the Hades party to try to atone for what happened with Ken's mom, but I can also see him joining Fuji's party for the same reason as Mitsuru, or the Rebel Army.

At first, I wasn't going to include any of the Velvet Room attendants, but considering that I already included Fuuka Yamagishi who technically isn't playable while 3 members are playable in P4A/P4AU, I have a feeling at least someone might complain so here goes. Elizabeth would join either the Hades Party to learn about Fear the Great or Zed's party to learn about Super Reincarnation.

Yu Narukami might join the Hades Party to figure out the issue with the corrupterment, but I can also see him joining Laharl's party, specifically during the events of D2 and Inifinite because of the mysteries behind the disappearing angels and Laharl's "assassination".

Yosuke Hanamura I can see joining either the Rebel Army, Zed's group, or Fuji's group because all three of these groups involve exploring multiple different worlds, which he would probably find exciting deep down. Though he would need to be careful around Seraphina. The moment he tries to push her buttons, he'll be put under her Balor gaze doing something humiliating.

Unlike Akihiko who would go after the strongest challenge, Chie Satonaka would join either Adell's group or the Rebel Army specifically due to her strong desire to protect others. She would go after Zenon or Void Dark to prevent more people from becoming victims of them.

Yukiko Amagi would join the Hades Party because out of the all of them, it's the closest she'll get to a horror themed group, though if Valvatorez thought not scaring Artina would hurt his pride, trying to scare Yukiko would have it completely shattered.

((Stay tuned for part 2))

so CLEARLY the stobin big brother au brain rot had to come out some time and tbh this is going to be so scatterbrained bear with me

based off of my favorite season ... bb4 with jun song like well yes....like yeah i LOVE this season but also like. i have to think about this because i want to open up the possibility of there being a pre-established stobin relationship.

like OKAY clicking from the first day creating a final 2 alliance immediately ... i see it. initially enemies becoming begrudging allies using a final 2 alliance to keep each other loyal becoming genuine friends who honor that final 2 alliance despite knowing it wouldn't help their game. LIKE.... i am Sick to my Stomach. BUT some type of x-factor WOW.

if they go in as exes, i think i could only see them purposely bamboozling producers into thinking they would never work together when they have a shared google drive of strategies for their game or like fuckin... idk i don't strategize u tell me

OKAY BUT maybe a home town high school reunion type theme, where they make sure to include duos that would have been in the same high school at the same time blah blah. so there are two steves that could possibly have applied for big brother.

one steve was encouraged by His Boys (and carol) to try out bc he's athletic AND good at the social game. king steve is in it to win it, but as time goes on, steve harrington's bleeding heart prevents him from being as ruthless as he planned to be.

stobin seeing each other ep 1 and just the most evil glares toward each other, but actually they're nonverbally setting a meeting to discuss their alliance. they don't know it but it's their strongest, longest lasting alliance and the one they are ultimately the most loyal to. thinking jun and jee picking fights to throw people off their scent.... robin and her you suck/you rule board like. YEAH.

i think that in this scenario, steve is more jee in using his physicality to prove his worth to the team and winning comps. and robin is more jun in that she (unfortunately) is not the most liked in the house bc she has smth of a "floater" strat. WHICH not a coasting strat. a floater strat. okay. she is instigating and she is lying and she is scheming.

however also steve being jun with the kitchen strat like YEAH like yes. using cooking as an excuse to stay in the most central part of the house and eavesdrop like well yes. have a neutral reason to always be present for drama and make people not want to eliminate you bc if they do, they lose ur cooking too.

i think that like robin would win in this season, but only because steve didn't make it to the final 2. both of them knew that steve would have jury. like he just played the social game so well that even people he beat and blindsided wanted him to win. like he proved to be loyal while still pushing his game and he was on good terms with everyone in the house. steve threw the last hoh so he would be eliminated esp since he knew that robin would be the obvious winner against the other contestant

the Second steve would be a post-demogorgon or bullshit kind of checked out steve harrington who doesn't have it in him to fight for his crown. maybe he Did apply before the upside down and unlucky enough to have a life altering experience right before appearing on television. or maybe he was just throwing shit at the wall instead of applying for college thinking whatever. face card never declines.

picturing a taylor hale-esque journey where robin hears that King Steve is joining the house. and she has her preconceived opinions about him and obviously it's beneficial to her game to completely undermine a good social player before he even gets a chance to speak. so she starts turning people in the house against him but not in a paloma way me think. less intense, but still just as detrimental to steve's game.

but steve is able to make a couple solid connections in the house, and despite being put on the block, he's not eliminated. the first month in the house is pretty rocky for steve, and he's put on the block nearly Every Single Week. now he starts giving a jag performance and winning comps left and right like. power of veto every week baby and that's why he will Never Be Eliminated. people are beginning to look at steve differently now

they're like okay he's a bit of a free agent, and obviously a strong player. he could be used as a shield, he could be used as a buffer, keeping him could be beneficial to my game. robin is still iffy about him, but she sees his merit.

just like taylor, steve is one to one in convincing people to support him in his game. he appeals to them so effectively that people who were vehemently against him just boom.... appreciate. like robin is not immune to the harrington charm and she's already the worm in his brain

thinking some Big Drama involving steve though and literally daniel's tirade on taylor (which was SO undeserved and like? insane?) yeah.... and then the turn around and calling out of his previous treatment like. YEAH. that's what i want...

robin taking the longest to come around to steve, but being the most ride or die. they're like jag and matt just. ur my minute man baby.... i know i'd have a better chance against this guy but. we made a final 2 alliance and i'm not going to blindside you.

and steve would win in this case. he's just so strong with the jury and really good with comps like okay... was there a q.... robin argued her social game was more refined (it violated constitutional rights or smth)

but yes yes stobin big brother au... of course after the season they become the platonic soulmates they ARE in every universe. and like. people don't expect them to stay friends for so long after, but at some point like. okay now they're a duo. like that's bert and ernie.... acshually the old man muppets who sit in the nosebleeds and criticize the show loudly (was this only a thing in disneyland idk idk)

#platonic stobin #steve harrington #robin buckley #big brother #big brother au #reality tv au #steve walking into the house full expecting to use his body to further his game #his former coworker from scoops ahoy robin buckley walking into the house and his libido just. gone #she saw him eating ice cream straight out of the tub in the walk in while crying bc a mom yelled at him #but he also saw her pee her pants so #i'm more partial to the jun/jee route for stobin #only bc i was literally livid for taylor throughout her season #like it had me punching walls #my jaw was so tight fr fr #now you may ask why does robin ever apply for big brother and in every universe the answer is the same #actually she never expected to get accepted she just had a hypomanic episode where she thought that she would murder bb #based on Me thinking i would have killer strats and be good at the social game #me to me: u r fat and u r shy and u can't run.#except robin is charming in that clumsy bow-legged deer way
