Pre divorce shadowpeach didn't seem to be the type to fight a lot. In fact the shadowpeach divorce probably blew up that big due to all the unsaid frustrations they never let out.

So I'm just imagining shadowpeach never fighting in an obvious way (closest to fighting would be backhanded comments or barbed words) but that just makes things more unsettling

oh yeah 100% it didn’t help that swk was always leaving FFM out of his need to get stronger and be the best and be respected. not to mention they probably never saw their times together as the right moment to voice their concerns out loud because this was their time to wind down and they just had to wait it out, wait until everything was perfect enough to have those talks

#then everything went to shit #nothing was okay #swk was trapped under mountain all by his lonesome and def going insane #then Macky visits him (i’ve assumed that memory in s4 was Macky’s 1st and last visit) and they can’t pretend everything is ok anymore #tbh it was probably super ironic for them bc it might’ve been that swk would act like nothing was wrong & everything was under control #pre-battle with Heaven with Macky being the one with some concerns. but then Macky visits acting like everything’s chill and swk can’t #thus their fight is equally harsh and explosive (bc that’s what i find fun) and they never really say they’re done with each other #but both confirm to themselves that this is probably the end of their relationship and then oops! swk is free but won’t come home #why won’t he come home? Macky isn’t sure but he knows that swk is looking carefree with some new buddies and gets pissed #(Am I placing assumptions? Yes. Do they have any semblance to canon? They do if you consider my heart and passion) #anyway mixing jttw events that lmk hasn’t confirmed: Macky dies by SWK’s hand (whether directly or indirectly) #and the divorce is set in stone (bc how can a relationship reconcile or get back if the other is dead? as far as swk knows) #fast forward to lmk and they still can’t be civil or ignore their relationship issues like before and fight/butt heads constantly bc yeah #like yeah past shadowpeach is cute & fluffy & codependent still but they don’t have that hostility like in their divorced/still married era #lmk #shadowpeach #asks

I'm honestly super excited to see the possibility of Lucifer and Lilith being on different sides. Lucifer wants to support Charlie and the hotel as it's reawoken his own passions and dreams. Meanwhile Lilith will want Charlie’s hotel destroyed because it fulfills her dreams and ambitions (which seems to be to stay in heaven).

And Charlie who started the hotel in her mother’s memory and was inspired by her, has to face the reality of the Morningstar family possibly having a civil war amongst themselves. Lucifer and Charlie vs Lilith and in the end what she believed of her mother wasn’t true, just like the misunderstanding she had about her father.

We know Lucifer loves Charlie ‘more than anything’ more than hell, heaven, himself. And probably even more than his ex-wife. Meanwhile since Adam symbolised toxic masculinity I could see Lilith embodying toxic femininity as the first woman. Selfish, narcissistic, shallow and self absorbed. Unlike Lucifer who will choose his daughter over himself and possibly his wife, I could see Lilith being the opposite, Charlie’s dreams are inconsequential to her in the grand scheme of getting what she wants.

#hazbin hotel #hazbin lucifer #hazbin charlie #hazbin lilith #lucifer morningstar #lilith morningstar #charlie morningstar #I love for the Morningstar drama #it’s gonna be so juicy #and holy shit Lucifer is gonna be so broken #to think that his former lover went to the one place he can’t go #he’s going to have an even lower view of himself #Charlie is going to be devastated too #she built the hotel aspiring to be like her mom #only for her to possibly going against her so she can stay in heaven on her own #when Charlie said ‘off doing something important I’m sure’ #only to find out she’s just been in heaven relaxing on the beach for the last 7 years #oof

so glad to see aziraphale join the delusional girls club of insane creepy smiles surely this is a sign of a stable environment and a healthy mental state and not at all the first symptom of a complete mental breakdown <3

#haha i´m not worried #for real though wtf was that??? #there are two explanations here: 1) he is defo losing his mind and season 3 will just be him slowly spiraling into madness #eventually killing god while grinning from ear to ear singing `climb every mountain´ until crowley has to stop him with the flaming sword #2) he has a plan #a secret plan that he didnt even tell crowley about #really hoping for the second option guys #but based on the fact that he has just lost the love of his life and now has to go back to a place that he always secretly hated #and where everyone very openly hates him #and he was brainwashed by heaven for millenia and carries all this catholic guilt and is now in the hands of the people who brainwashed him #yeah based on all that i´m really not sure how this will play out tbh #and has no one to confide in at all not even muriel because metatron cleverly stationed her far away on earth #gos2 #good omens spoilers #gos2 spoilers #good omens

Sun Wukong strikes me as a person who takes pride in doing a job well. Also I think he's a harder worker then people give him credit for.

Yes! When Sun Wukong puts his mind into something he gives it his all and does his very best. He diligently searched for immortality, spending 9 years on the South Jambūdvīpa Continent. During this time, he was also able to learn about human conduct all on his own. He then trained under Patriarch Puti for 7 years, becoming one of the Patriarch's best students.

And you know lemme share with you something that really blew my mind. The Jade Emperor in two of his myths had to cultivate himself for more than 3 million years to get where he is today. Sun Wukong, meanwhile, cultivated himself for 7 years under Patriarch Puti and in that short period of time he managed to rival that of Heaven itself. The power scaling is INSANE! Really goes to show how op Wukong is 😭 Just imagine how much powerful Wukong could be if Patriarch Puti didn't expell him!

#relscreeches #I also like to think that Wukong's immortality speedrun turned off a lot of the celestials in Heaven #They can't believe that a yaoguai monkey managed to reach--even surpass their own level #Of course Heaven feared Wukong as well #So when the Jade Emperor made SWK as baimawen it was Heaven's way of putting this bogus immortal monkey in his place #And another thing #They wanted to make sure they could keep Wukong under control #TDLR: Heaven is salty because Sun Wukong #A yaoguai managed to outshine them #But yeah that's my own take hhhh #I think it's a bit funny as well #HAHHAHABEHEJEIEIE

SPOILER FOR LEGOMONKIEKID SEASON 4

"Are you okay ?!"

Lmao no dog I just found out Macaque believes Sun Wukong willingly joined the forces of heaven and betrayed their sworn brotherhood 💔

#i dunno honestly it gets kind of muggy since on one hand azure i think says that wukong was like forced to be used as a pawn for heaven #like he thinks nezha is but then he goes on to say that wukong struck down there troops and betrayed them so like ?!?! #also no macaque doesnt flat out say he believes any of thsi ?? but he says in shadow play that Wukong left them and gained power and hes #wearing ghe circlet in the shadow play which i previously thought was just to differentate but im gonna infure hes refrencing the battle #against heaven and im guessing he means he acknowledges that wukong wad defeated like the rest but ig doesn't understand why wukong stayed #with the pilgrams like he believes he had a choicenon the jttw which he kinda did but kind didnt i dunno #also the timeline is so confusing like did SWK get trapped under thst miuntain or not ?! #i suspect that DBK takes SWKS place in that sense since i think DBKS stuck under that mountian for 500 yrs but im not sure #i think it makes the most sense that he didnt get stuvk under that mountain but hmm #lego monkie kid #legomonkiekid #lmk #lmk s4 #also thsi means everythings judt a huge misunderstanding and that i was right all alone im number 1

#I want complaine not only about bad takes in this fandom but also about theories that just!! so!! stupid!! but also I'm a good person that #doesn't shit on other people's fun #so I mostly suffer in silence #and block people in bunches #'you see! this theory absolutely doesn't take agency from character and doesn't minimize emotional impact!' #says person about theory that roughly summariasized as 'Crowley AGAIN knows more than Aziraphale and it's all so SAD because if only #Aziraphale knew he wouldn't make this desicion!' #I want to scream #somehow it also never about what kind of monster Crowley would be to willingly hide memories Aziraphale supposedly erised and never gave it #back in whole four years they had before season two #like. maybe not be a cowards and embrace 'I was a pussy and somehow didn't get a courage to RESTORE MY FRIEND'S MEMORY with some kind of #VITAL INFORMATION that could've IMPACT HIS LIFE OR DEAT DESICIONS #and now he's in place where he could be abused erased or killed and IT'S MY FAULT' angle hmmm? #at least it could've made it interesting #but noooo #also how the fuck them kissing in 1941 should've impact Aziraphale's desicion anyway I can't get logic behind this theories #(the angle with 'memories are not about some stupid kiss but about what Crowley saw in heavens' could've work but like first: Crowley didn' #saw anything Aziraphale won't hear from Metatron in next scene or can extrapolate using base logic #and anyway if Crowley wanted to use it as argument he like. should've start with it and not with 'blah blah you're an idiot we should run #from earth' #AT BEST I could've get behind him giving Aziraphale some kind of weapon or possibility of safe out or like. hell's fire to self destruct as #last resort. but memories? and especially Aziraphale's memories??) #anyway yes it's me being a hater.

i have acquired a mystical and powerful ointment (hydrocortisone cream) from the village herbalist (rite aid) to assist with the curse set upon my bloodline from many generations ago (eczema)

#feel free to reblog #ironically this is the one thing i know the least about and it's the one i've known about for sure for the longest #never seen a doctor for it (everything online says you probably should) because my parents never took me #they told me that's what it was because that's what my dad had and it looked close enough #they also said i'd grow out of it like my dad did (just as he was growing back into it hmmmmm) #so i'm not like shocked that this is cropped up again i'm mostly like. annoyed? and sad. #i'm annoyed because like - they treated it so casually it was a non issue #get some anti-itch cream moisturize etc #and be quiet about it until it goes away #so it came back every now and then and i stopped telling them i was getting flare ups i'd just get into dad's cortizone and put some on #until it went away #there was never like a plan or a regimine in place for how to deal with it #dad's whole routine was preventative (lots and lots of baby oil) with the steroid cream you pick up at the pharmacy if there was a flare #and i didn't even know when he'd get a flare because it never got brought up - so i didn't know to look for patterns or anything #and now it's hitting me and has been for probably longer than i realized and i'm just like #*how do i take care of this???* *why is it not going away???* #and like yes i absolutely should also still see a doctor about it just to like. Fucking get shit in my records #jesus christ the realization that eczema isn't even probably in my medical records fucking hell #IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S AN IMMUNE RESPONSE AND DOCTORS PROBABLY NEED TO KNOW I'VE GOT A FUCKY IMMUNE SYSTEM IF THAT'S A THING #LIKE CHRIST IN HEAVEN MOM AND DAD A TRIP TO THE DOCTOR IS LIKE NORMAL FOR SMALL CHILDREN #FOR FUCKS SAKE WHY DID I NEVER SEE A DOCTOR AS A CHILD FUCKING MARY MOTHER OF GOD MA WHAT THE FUCK

can i just say how much i love the cinematography when it comes to aziraphale in heaven. it's always depicted as being very bright, with an almost overwhelming, uncomfortably trapped feeling attached to it as we watch the camera get up close to aziraphale's face. we can't escape these feelings, and aziraphale can't either.

aziraphale, more often than not in these scenes where he interacts with an angel, has a neutral expression. one that doesn't convey too much emotion, as he hides it whenever he is talking to anyone in heaven.

which intrigues me that we see this return when aziraphale is in the elevator at the end of episode 6. he's going back to a place that mistreated him for 6000 years, retreating to a place where he has to hide his emotions and how he's feeling.

we are once again in a close-up shot with aziraphale staring straight ahead, the feeling very reminiscient of season 1's heaven scenes. its unsettling as we watch aziraphale tackle his emotions in a very subtle way, seeing him struggle with showing it versus trying to repress it the same way he's done so for 6000 years.

even with his smile at the end, the unsettling aspect never rests. we don't know why he smiles, what he's thinking about, but as i said, aziraphale more often than not is very neutral expressed. however, he also nervously smiles in heaven, his smile never reaching his eyes. we see this smile when he's first around jim, and now we see it even bigger at the end of episode 6.

again, we don't know what he's thinking. we can only speculate what it means, but we do know his final destination.

we know after this, the elevators will open, and aziraphale will be in heaven. he rises as his expression does, but his feelings still remain hidden. his emotions are guarded, and they will be when those doors open. as the angel of the eastern gate, he still guards those most important to him, and that includes his emotions.

its the only thing he'll have to himself in heaven, after all.

also as a side comment, we see crowley and the other archangels + muriel in the elevator too, but the feeling is different. as we see here, crowley is zoomed out and we can see his entire body.

maybe its for the sake of removing the angel disguise, but regardless, it doesn't close up on him like it does with aziraphale. or, it does, but not in a suffocating, uncomfortable way. there's still space between crowley and the camera.

anyway, i just wanted to comment on aziraphale in the heaven elevator because it reminded me so much of aziraphale in heaven in season 1 :-)

#feeling very emotional about aziraphale rn #like he's going back to a place that's traumatized him so much ahh #it won't be good that's for sure! #his martyrdom is so strong here #good omens #good omens 2 #aziraphale #crowley #can i tag heaven lmao #vee rambles

Just did a read through of a few travel banters from octopath 1 and I gotta say, the Therion and Alfyn banters are really fun.

Therion chapter 2: they talk about going to a tavern. Therion says that Alfyn will be paying.

Alfyn chapter 3: they talk about going to a tavern again. Alfyn says he wants to avoid getting drunk around Therion.

Therion chapter 3: They talk about going to a tavern again. Therion insists on paying for drinks this time.

Outside of the Tavern Saga, their other travel banters are about Alfyn giving a woman a drug-induced nightmare, Alfyn saying he's got Therion's back, and Therion saying "would you trust this friend of yours forever? No matter what? Even if he betrayed you?" And Alfyn just saying "yep"

THEY'RE GOOD DOGS BRENT!!! They have a really good dynamic! And you can even see the through line with their relationship growth. Like you know me I'm incapable of looking at these two and seeing anything besides a slow burn romance but if i take off my fuckin Queer Goggles for a half second it's still a very clear progression of Therion being like 'ugh cheery goodie two shoes wants to be friends. thats his problem' to these two having a genuine bond. Therion talking about trust with him, something that's very personal to him that he has a lot of issues with and he keeps very close to his chest. Alfyn being clear about having his back no matter what. They're close enough to be able to know they have each others backs, even after all Therion's been through and how long he's presumably been trying to keep everyone else at arm's length. All my shit aside, they're good friends! Canonically! Their relationship is interesting and fun to explore because they're so drastically different but mesh so well! Im love these two please feel free to talk to me about Alfyn and Therion in any context any time

#spitblaze says things #octopath #and off in Queer Interpretation and Heacanon Land alfyn is painstakingly breaking down therions walls. not with a hammer. gently. by hand #brick by singular brick and constantly testing and asking if its okay #he is not scared or frightened or upset by therions life. none of them are #ophilia has the excuse of knowing that Aeber earned his place in the heavens #but the two youd think would have real beef with it are tressa and alfyn #and uh. tressa does for sure lol she does not like that he steals. she still likes him as a person but hes like an annoying older brother #alfyn though. hes just surprised at how prolific therion is. despite being a small town bumpkin not much surprises him #and that surprises therion in turn #maybe he throws his barriers up higher than normal. warding off harder because he knows this kind of person. the 'i can fix them' kind #but alfyn isnt here to fix. he's here to help. he sees someone cool and interesting whos clearly hurting whether or not they wanna admit it #and therion cant fathom that kind of unconditional care and altruism aimed at someone like him #not yet anyway.

weird thing i noticed watching Good Omens 2 that someone has probably already pointed out. so in hell we see tons of people, how come we never see anyone in heaven? does anyone actually go to heaven?

#good omens #good omens 2 #i’m sure someone has an answer for this already #is it like the good place where it’s impossible to get in? #cause heaven is toxic and unreasonable #like crowley’s comment about angels only seeing in black and white #not being able to see the blurred bits #no person is wholly good or evil #just some wishy washy shmorgash board of both #is heaven like “one spec of evil ruin the whole batch #don’t mind me projecting my religious trauma into a fictional show #good omens spoilers #just to be safe

[jayswing101]

Hi hello I am currently rewatching Guardian and I think I've had a revelation. Has someone else probably figured this out before? Almost definitely. But I have connected the dots and am excited so I'm writing about it anyways. Spoilers for basically the whole drama ahead

So. Episode 5, there's the resolution of Wu Tianen and Wu Xiaojun's case, and Heipaoshi brings them to Dixing. After Shen Wei vanishes the guards who were sent to kill Wu Tianen and Wu Xiaojun, he asks Wu Tianen what happened to the team he sent up to search for the Hallows right? Wu Tianen says they were attacked by youchu, and he was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, everyone else was dead.

Except they weren't. Shen Wei says that the captain of the mission survived, only to later be shot and killed before Shen Wei can meet with him. Shen Wei then says "pity it's another dead end," and Wu Tianen drops a bombshell we don't even realise is a bombshell. He says the captain's wife was pregnant at the time of their failed mission.

The captain may have living descendants.

The next scene? Zhou Weiwei getting out of bed and disappearing out of her bathroom. Which implies that mirror!Zhou Weiwei is that captain's child. And, at the end of episode 6, Shen Wei and mirror!Zhou Weiwei talk and it's confirmed - the captain of the Hallows retrieval mission was her father.

But who was he? Why isn't he given a name? Just "my competent subordinate," or "the mission captain." Why aren't we told his name?

Because It's Zhang Shi.

His power is similar to mirror!Zhou Weiwei's, where they can both "be" someone else. He can possess people and take over their bodies that way, she can take on the appearance of anyone who offers her a face through the mirror. They're connected powers in a way, and we know from Shen Wei and Ye Zun that family members sometimes have similar powers to each other (Shen Wei's learning from observing vs Ye Zun's taking through absorbing/devouring) — so it makes sense.

And then there's also what Shen Wei tells Wu Tianen, that the captain was shot and killed. Except it's kinda implied that regular bullets don't work on Dixingren, that only dark energy bullets can hurt them. Who is the only person we know of, other than Zhao Yunlan, who has used the dark energy gun? Zhao Xinci. Who killed Zhang Shi's previous host body? Zhao Xinci.

As we find out in episode 31, Zhao Xinci shot and killed Zhang Shi's host with the dark energy gun. That's how he ends up becoming Zhang Shi's current host.

Zhang Shi is also one of like two Dixingren we see Zhao Xinci actually shoot in the drama too, which also adds to the likelihood of Zhang Shi being the captain of Wu Tianen's mission and mirror!Zhou Weiwei's father.

The only missing piece is connecting Zhang Shi to that mission to retrieve the Hallows. Heipaoshi tells mirror!Zhou Weiwei that her father was his subordinate, and that he had secret information that he never had a chance to report. Hearing that, mirror!Zhou Weiwei remembers her father mumbling: "山河水镇天南一方。"

The subtitles on YouTube (before we lost those videos rip) never translated that line, and I couldn't understand any of the words last time I watched Guardian, so I never caught it before. But I'm like 85% sure that what mirror!Zhou Weiwei says roughly translates to: "The mountains and rivers of the South are protected."

But what does that even mean???

Well. In the novel, the four Holy Tools are used to seal the four pillars that hold up the sky. The Longevity Dial for the East, the Ink Brush of Virtue for the West, the Awl of Mountains and Rivers for the North.

And the Lantern of the Guardian for the South.

That Guardian Lantern is that final piece, the thing that makes everything click.

Hidden at the SID for so long, no one even knows it's there. I think Zhang Shi was successful in finding one of the Hallows when Shen Wei sent that team to Haixing ~20 years pre-canon. I think he found the Guardian Lantern, and kept it hidden even from Zhao Xinci for all those years, hid it inside a box at the SID where no one would think to look into it, but where it would be safe from anyone else that was also looking for the Hallows.

And he succeeded in keeping the Guardian Lantern safe. No one knew where it was until episode 34, when Ye Zun accidentally activates the Hallows and the wormhole to Ye Olde Haixing sends Zhao Yunlan on an expected holiday.

In conclusion: Zhang Shi was the captain of the mission to find the Hallows with Wu Tianen, and mirror!Zhou Weiwei's father. Contrary to Wu Tianen's beliefs, Zhang Shi wasn't killed by youchu, he survived the mission and went on to find the Guardian Lantern, which he kept hidden somewhere safe until Zhao Xinci killed him. At that point, to continue protecting the lantern, he hid it at the SID, where it was overlooked and kept safe for years, until Ye Zun sets off the Hallows and Zhao Yunlan gets yeeted through time.

And the only way any of it makes sense is if you have the novel context to know that each one of the Hallows is tied to a cardinal point

part of me that wants to know so bad how characters like karlach (and wyll, to a degree) who have been like. super affected by zariel's Horrors. would react to her redemption. or meeting her post-redemption.

#🜂. ( ooc. ) #to a degree i feel it's a bit of the darth vader situation #the universe decides there's still some good in him but that doesn't mean leia doesn't hold alderaan against him forever #but zariel doesn't die so there's more to say about it i'm sure #she's???? a really interesting villain idk i always have played her in that way where she's like. #very convinced that what she's doing isn't GOOD but it is NECESSARY or otherwise like #righteous. y'know. she's gonna destroy the abyss and then turn around and take down the hells as far as she'd tell you #(this is a colossally stupid plan but she's not really... wise... she's just Determined As Hell and extremely pissed) #'i did what i had to do' ect ect but i imagine her victims don't take a ton of comfort in that #+ the guilt of feeling like she's the reason why the hells can damn people in the first place #because trial of asmodeus ect. #very human emotions for someone who's never been human but i think that's what makes her cool #fell because she didn't have the detachment that the rest of the heavens did #some of this gets played with in descent into avernus for sure but i want. more
