We know now what happened with Ranboo and his limited lives, thanks to their recent tweets, but I'd like to suggest an AU. What if Ranboo did originally have 3 lives? What if their 2 canon deaths in 2 alternate timelines were actually the same timeline, with their death to Sam during the prison break being his third life and their death to Wilbur in Ho16 being their second?

That then leaves the question, what happened to his first life? In my mind, Ranboo's first death probably comes from his involvement with the explosions at the prison. We know something went wrong that day, and we can guess at what was supposed to happen, what Ranboo and Dream were planning, but we don't know. Could he have miscalculated the prison's security? Did someone find him, stop him, fight him? I'll leave it up for speculation.

I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #Jason Todd #batfamily #it's just a fun quirk! it's a fun lil detail and I simply cannot slight ppl for enjoying and incorporating it into works #like obviously jason isn't the only one. I'm a big believer in the batfam having over lapping interests they refuse to bond over #i know dick canonically used the robin hood stories (which are pretty flowery in their language far as i can tell) as inspo for Robin #and i know babs was a librarian and even tho her area of nerddom is characterized as more computery she probably knows quite a lot- #-about literature as well #duke is a hobbyist writer i believe? i saw a fan mention that- which if so is great and I hope he's also a nerd #(i mean he is canonically. i remember him being a puzzle nerd in his introduction. but i mean specifically a lit nerd) #damian called Shakespeare boring but also took acting classes so i think he's more of a theatre kid. #Tim's a dropout and i don't think he's ever shown distinct interest in english lit and i can't remember for Steph? #I'm ngl my brain hyperfocused on musician Steph i forget some of her other interests I'm sorry (minus softball and gymnastics!) #and then Cass had her whole (non linear but it's whatevs) arc about literacy and learning to read #went from struggling to read in batgirl 00 to memorizing Shakespeare in 'tec and is now an avid read in batgirls! #she's shown reading edgar allen poe but we don't know if it's his short stories or his poems #point to all of the above being: i know Jason's not the only lit nerd in the batfam #but also i do need him to be writing poetry in his spare time and reading and reviewing it #jason at the next dead robins society meeting: evening folks today I'll be assigning all of us poems based on laika the space dog #damian and steph who have been kidnapped and brought to jasons warehouse to hangout: LET US GO BITCH #speaking of^ random poem i think jason would like: space dog by alan shapiro #wake up one morning in an unfamiliar more mature body with a profound sense of abandonment. the last four lines. mmm tasty

I stg if I see one more "Justice for medusa's TRUE story!" post I'm gonna kill someone.

(TW: Assault mention)

The medusa is assaulted by posidon then cursed by athena for being assaulted in her temple only appears in Ovid's Metamorphoses, which is written as a purposeful subversion of Greco-roman myths. most are reframed or rewritten from just kinda a thing that exists or a black and white moral tale of why you shouldn't be hubristic to full on tragedies on the part of the person often getting their comeuppance or the monster. Heck in book 13 we get a love story starring Polyphemus, the cyclops from the Odyssey.

In general mythology, Medusa is just another monster. Ovid revises the myth to turn it into a tragedy. I absolutely love ovid's work, he does so many clever things with the myths, but for the love of the gods its the furthest from the real version you can get

#And yeah obviously its greek mythology so theres no set canon and you can kind of pick and choose tellings #but Ovid's one isn't a tradition of belief its just literature #its damn good literature but in terms of religion its like claiming good omens is part of the christian canon #classics #ancient history #tagamemnon #ancient rome #greek mythology #medusa #ovid #latin literature #ancient greece #mythology

Sometimes I see posts about how "I, Strahd" Tatyana has the personality of a cardboard but I don't think I agree honestly.

We only see her in very few scenes (all from Strahd's POV) and she's always very gentle and soft spoken.

Which makes completely sense since she was a lowborn orphan trying to make a good impression on her future brother in law, who is not only the ruler of the valley but also a feared war criminal. Of course she would try to be as nice as possible in front of him.

I also think that Strahd was extremely genuine in thinking he was in love with Tatyana, it's just that he never really knew her the way Sergei did. He only knew a facet.

#she went customer service mode #Strahd mentions that in the months she stays at Ravenloft he finds new reasons to fall in love with her day after day #so even if his attraction to her was absolutely superficial at first I do think he really liked her going on #he's so difficult to please I think he would have just tried to fish for other reasons to dislike her if his attraction wasn't genuine #especially because he really wanted to hate her before meeting her #also being just kind and gentle is a completely valid personality honestly #I don't think she's any less interesting or well rounded just because we're mainly shown that side of her #plus I say she's soft spoken but she also curses the gods when Sergei dies and immediately thinks of looking for Lady Ilona to bring himbac #so we could say she's also resolute and very quick thinking #also I was thinking of Tatyana as a general concept at first but then I remembered they completely changed her in 5e #so her dyamic with Strahd is obviously different cause they also knew eachother before Sergei arrived #because god fucking forbid 5e Strahd to fall in love with a peasant I guess #in the beautiful world in my mind I often forget I Strahd isn't the 5e canon oof #this post was brought to you by the Taty Appreciators Gang #not art #curse of strahd #strahd von zarovich #ravenloft

this might sound harsh but honestly i think nate (and i guess crew-ra overall) is completely irresponsible for reinforcing the idea that abuse and bullying are okay because "they hit you because they like you". in a FUCKING KIDS SHOW. spop is teaching wrong ideas about romance and friendship to younger audiences, which is so infuriating because they still make it clear that shadow weaver is bad (which is correct) but they don't apply the same thing to catra who does similar if not worse things than SW does.

like i bet this show would've been a lot more harmful if i watched it when i was much younger. it would make me believe that abuse and bullying are okay because my abusers/bullies have tragic backstories that automatically excuse them, so i would be the one in the wrong.

#i post #spop critical #abuse tw #there are many kids in this fandom obviously #so it's disgusting to see spop romanticizing abuse like this #even though in earlier episodes they had a better approach #but nate just REALLY wanted to make his stupid otp canon #like i said in another post #WHY COULDN'T YOU MAKE ANOTHER SHOW?! #THAT ISN'T FOR KIDS #even if it still sucked at least you wouldn't teach this bullshit to KIDS #ugh. #ranting in tags #ranting

btw for reference Here are all the spoiler glimpses of beatrice's form i've been accidentally exposed to for the sake of transparency and also so you can know how surreal/funny it is for me to be unravelling the meaning of this vicious murderwitch in canon while also seeing occasional iceberg tips of what seems to be some kind of extremely thorough and comprehensive blorbo memeification going on. i think you guys are doing some breaking bad fandom shit to this woman.

#umineko liveblog #one's the icon of the exe file of the game so unavoidable #and one was a random pfp so only having two legit spoilers sent my way isn't a bad track record #pointedly Not thinking too deeply about any of this to not ruin anything for myself #but i will say i'm very amused by how beatrice is seemingly presented as this whimsical jester-like figure who is pro trans rights #very funny considering her only confirmed action in the story was to viciously and spitefully murder a dysphoric twink (kanon) #how fake trans rights beatrice fans look when a REAL murderwitch rocks up #none of this is influencing my thinking since it's obviously all out of context Jokes with no basis in canon #but i think the discrepancy between the presentation of beatrice in the text (elusive haunting horror figure) #and the presentation of beatrice in this limited slice of fandom memes (silly girl. trans ally?) is baffling and fascinating #of course it shouldn't need saying but do NOT discuss anything about this where i can see it #i'm still god knows how long away from beatrice showing up. and probably way further away from understanding even half of these jokes #this is just a curiosity i'm stating for the record and not an invitation for discussion for a long while yet #also bets on whether or not i will see yet another accidental beatrice spoilerimage before i get to the real deal in my readthrough lmao

Listen. Listen to me. While Closure/Kal'tsit being romantic might add a nice extra layer to their situation, it absolutely doesn't have to be to still get to that good angst.

We will be making two mildly unsupported assumptions here, but bear with me.

Closure deals with her trauma by shoving it down and focusing on other things. After Babel lost the war Closure sees Kal'tsit slowly losing her mind with no one to talk to, and jumps at the chance to deal with someone else's problems.

The thing is, by doing this, she's not just solving a problem, she's filling a Theresa shaped hole in Kal'tsit's life. Assuming Closure is really invested in their friendship, this is a problem. (Unfortunately, this is a larger assumption than I'd like it to be, but whatever.)

Closure knew Theresa well and respected her a lot. She knew what Kal'tsit and Theresa's relationship was like. She almost certainly feels unqualified to be Kal'tsit's closest confidant, but I imagine the real thing that looms large over her thoughts is that she's the substitute, she's just here because someone else couldn't be.

Kal'tsit appreciates Closure for who she is, she doesn't think of her as a replacement, but she also doesn't know Closure feels that way. She's not super good at managing other people's emotions, and Closure is very good at acting like everything's fine.

Kal'tsit doesn't talk about these things unless prompted, and Closure is never going to address her problems if she can avoid it. So, that's just what their relationship is now, and it isn't going to change.

Unless, something crazy happens.

Like, theoretically, if Theresa came back to life.

#do you see my vision #the second assumption is that closure is actually bothered by this and isn't better adjusted than I'm giving her credit for #I just want a scene in canon where closure makes how she feels about her friendship with kal'tsit clearer #kal'tsit obviously greatly appreciates closure being there but it's annoyingly ambiguous how important it is to closure #arknights #closure #kal'tsit #theresa #ramblings #light and dust

thinking about how both tfa (2015) and rogue one (2016) came out post-disney's acquisition of lucasfilms (2012) and both those films live on so fondly in my heart but have also, somehow, been earmarked in my head as the last true additions to star wars canon to have come out ever since

#personal #like even if i enjoy watching things that aren't those two movies post-disney it's like #for whatever reason. my head files it as ''haha that was fun. glad that's not canon'' #WHICH IS ADMITTEDLY. A WILD THING TO THINK. LIKE THOSE TV SHOWS AND CARTOONS ARE DEFINITELY CANON #but my brain REFUSES to acknowledge them as such #obviously half of it is ''some of this reads like absolute bullshit'' #but the other half is ''i straight up enjoyed this. this was fun to me. but also it's not canon <3'' #wish i could just unequivocally like everything but alas my standards are hard to parse even for me #the person who has them #AUGHHHH #don't ask me how tcw fits into this as it's in a weird middle ground #tcw in my head is like...... jedi apprentice.... or the comics...... in that it's canon except it isn't except it IS. #i CANNOT elaborate. my thoughts are an enigma unto myself.

Classpects & Canonicity (an observation & speculation)

Vrissy isn't the same classpect (thief of light) as Vriska or just can't have a classpect due to this timeline lacking canonicity; alternatively, the difference in classpect is in part due to the timeline falling outside of or (in other words) beyond canon.

Is that part of why Vriska can tell it's phony? The lack of Vrissy having her own classpect? Or is Vriska cosmically tuned-in somehow to knowing something is wrong? I mean some of the stuff that has happened is pretty wonky, but I feel like this is part of her powers as a character. She's always been a key point in moving things forward & now that things aren't moving much at all in regards to canon, she is here to steal the spotlight & shed some light on this whole thing.

When/if Vriska fixes the canon, will Vrissy vanish along with the other characters or become changed? Similar to the hypothetical dream sequence we see near the end of Adventure Time Fionna & Cake, perhaps. Alternatively, will classpects suddenly be thrust upon all the new characters & their existence as well as their personalities remain??

There's much to think about here, let me all know what you think! 💜

#also it was really cool to see Vrissy using her psychic powers like how Vriska does #poor tavros crocker though lmao stop making him do your silly dances 😂 #I'm honestly very hyped to see where this comic is going #really feels like waiting for homestuck upd8s is back #I want to clarify this isn't me complaining; I missed the upd8 happening every so often; this is thrilling! Really brings me back lol #also obviously characters who already have classpects would keep them; that just seems to be how these timelines work #thank you james roach & team for the fun new update #also what did Jane mean by “POI;” is that point of impact? #mine #op #vriska maryam lalonde #vrissy maryam lalonde #homestuck beyond canon #homestuck^2 #homestuck 2 #homestuck #homestuck upd8 #homestuck spoilers #vriska serket

I think one of the reasons why I love God Troubles Me is because it's a story about a woman living with two male gods and... there's zero implied romance? Like, absolutely none. Su Moting is never treated any differently for being a woman, and their friendship is never weirdly tainted by forced romance because she is a woman. It's something I rarely see with anime (I don't watch many donghua) so it's so refreshing to see strong friendships between men and women.

#i think some fans do ship them together in a polycule #which is fair obviously #but there isn't any romance between the three of them canonically and it's just so great #there is romance though #between su moting and another character #but there isn't a lot of them #(i wish there was though) #(i've never been this invested in a straight ship) #(i love the two of them so much) #(especially the angst </3) #god troubles me #hanhua riji #coffeejelly.txt

Some people have been saying that live action Sanji feels a little bit more soft and endearing than manga Sanji, but they can't pinpoint why because he does still feel like Sanji. Some people think it's just Taz's acting, and he does do a great job, but I don't think that's the main reason. Others think his flirting has been turned down a bit, but honestly it hasn't really? He still openly flirts with Nami when they first meet, and he still says things like "women are a mystery to be unraveled" and other goofy simp stuff. And his kindness like being willing to feed the hungry no matter what is obviously something that was always there (it's why Luffy chose him in the first place. Hell, in the manga he chooses Sanji as his cook before he ever actually tastes Sanji's cooking, simply because he sees Sanji feed Gin and realizes what kind of person Sanji is).

But there is a difference! And I've figured out what it is, because there IS one manga/anime Sanji trait that wasn't present in live action Sanji: his hatred of men.

Live action Sanji isn't a misandrist anymore 😳

#One piece #OPLA #OPLA spoilers #Obviously it was played for jokes he wasn't like actively cruel towards men and was kind to them too #Like feeding them if they were starving #And he obviously cared about his friends #He was misandrist is a silly cartoonish way #But it did highlight the way he treated women differently from men and made his flirting and simping come across as way more over the top #In comparison to how he behaved towards women #And I think it was a smart choice because English speaking audiences are especially sensitive to that sort of thing these days #I think the only other thing that gives him a slightly different vibe #is live action can't give him heart eyes or have him do the wiggling stuff lol #So his simping feels toned down even though technically he simps a similar amount as in canon #I do think it's funny how some fans like him better in live action because of this on tumblr dot com aka the OG man hating website #Like fans who are caught up understand WHY he's hostile towards men compared to women in canon (see: WCI) #but I don't mind them leaving it out in the live action #And it isn't like an integral key to who he is as a person/character #People who were already Sanji fans knew he was their problematic little meow meow #But it's nice that live action can showcase his kind and soft side a bit more #Like that stuff is already there in canon but he's a little more tsundere about it y'know? Lol

I am of the firm opinion that, until EXPLICITLY proven otherwise by canon, Kingdom Hearts Court Magician Donald Duck spent most of his childhood and adolescence traveling across the worlds on adventures with his Uncle Scrooge, and that's where he learned magic.

This is also where he discovered a lot of magical items, not to mention all the ones SCROOGE found, so honestly Donald doesn't even bother to keep track of all the treasures in the Duck Family's possession, no one does really, not even SCROOGE knows, he'll go digging one up because he needs one for a specific purpose/adventure and in the process he'll unearth like five similar ones he just plain forgot about.

Obviously Scrooge continued adventuring while Donald was off being a Musketeer, including at least one use of Zettaflare that is forever engraved in Goofy and Mickey's memories but for Donald was just in his bottom quarter of all-time adventure rankings, and obviously Scrooge continued finding fantastical treasures that he may or may not know the significance of. There's at least one magical sword that's currently being used at the Bistro as a knife because it never loses its edge.

What I'm saying is Scrooge McDuck is a Keyblade wielder and you cannot convince me otherwise. A weapon that can also open any chest is INVALUABLE to an adventurer like him, are you kidding? When he retired from adventuring in favor of being a full-time entrepreneur he just chucked it in the bin with everything else. Probably he managed to find one of the Foretellers' old Keyblades lying around or something. It'd just figure. No one told HIM he was needed for a war between light and darkness for the fate of all the worlds! Donald never tells him where he's been these days!

While I laid out this proposition to a friend on Discord, she agreed and added that Webby should get a Keyblade too.

Conclusion:

This is the current wielder of Ira's Keyblade. Scrooge had it lying around for a decade in some attic somewhere, Webby thought the unicorn was cool, and Scrooge figured, hey! Every child should have a good set of lockpicks for treasure chests and a means of self-defense, and it's not as though he's using it for anything important!

When Donald finds this out, he will be disappointed, but not surprised.

#kingdom hearts #eye contact #scopophobia #just gonna be on the safe side because that is a good Webby Stare right there. #Ducktales 2017 #ducktales #webby vanderquack #scrooge mcduck #donald duck #I know this will never happen for a variety of reasons starting with the fact that it would require a Disney character #who has not previously been relevant to BECOME relevant to the metaplot AND introduce a new one at that. Not likely. #plus then you get into the fact that 2017 Scrooge is a different continuity and design than 1987 Ducktales Scrooge or subsequent appearance #not to mention the voice actor differences (They could've gotten Tennant in 3 but didn't and Enn Reitel isn't trying to be him OR Young) #so using Webby (which they won't) would mean a character who should for design continuity be using her 1987 look and characterization #to go along with Scrooge and the boys but for 'why would Disney ever do this EXCEPT Brand Synergy' should obviously be 2017 #and like any kind of mixing and matching of the designs and voices would be odd even if Webby hasn't been established in KH #so there's no need to try and imitate Russi Taylor's very distinctive Duck Voice but at the same time it would just be ODD #like. Never gonna happen. Especially not to have a FORETELLER'S Keyblade particularly now that they're back in play. #but I think it would be funny as hell and so it is canon in my heart. #besides between the Xion-Roxas-Sora Can Dual Wield Even In 3 thing and whatever's going on with Keyblade Inheritance in 3 #with regards to Terra and Aqua's Keyblades and heirs (and whoever you argue Terranort's using they are also there at the Graveyard) #(like whether it's Terra's-that's-Sora's or Terra's or Xehanort's we've got LW there we've got Sora we've got Xehanort) #the only conclusions I can draw are either that Keyblades naturally duplicate themselves with a few plot-specific exceptions #or that Keyblades are susceptible to at least two different forms of item duplication glitch one of which involves time travel #meaning it is entirely possible for Scrooge and Webby to have Ira's Keyblade and Ira to ALSO have Ira's Keyblade #because time travel was probably involved if nothing else and time travel can allow for Keyblade Duplication Glitches #(no seriously try to explain how Roxas Xion and Sora all use a Keyblade at once in 3 WITHOUT at least one instance of duplication.) #(and this is assuming some convoluted 'Roxas inherited Ven's and Xion inherited Sora's and Roxas bequeathed her Sora's' in Days) #(so that there is technically no duping in Days but then with Sora and Ven ALSO running around in 3... like.) #(I'm pretty sure Saix is getting beat up with 4-5 copies of a single Keyblade that has been repeatedly duplication glitched is my point.)

9 times out of 10, dsmp fankids will be girls and my theory is that its because dsmp canon didn't have enough women in it

#like obviously there were women in canon but they were ignored/treated poorly by large chunks of the fandom #so fast-forward to 2023 and everyone who's still into dsmp is like...we're adding more female characters #home grown women #this isn't a complaint btw #i think we should keep adding them
