Love is hard…difficult. It’s dealing with someone’s shit day in and day out but never giving up on them because your heart won’t let you. It’s having a million reasons to leave them…but always having one good reason to stay

You know what I think about a lot.

When my boy Steven Grant sat down to make a deal with Khonshu for Marc’s freedom he did it while thousands of people were needlessly dying.

Steven Grant, sweet, kind, gentle Steven Grant, sat down to shamelessly manipulate a god into getting what he wanted while people were being murdered en mass. In fact, he used these peoples’ deaths as a goddamn bargaining chip to get what he wanted.

Steven Grant was ready to let the world burn for Marc Spector without an ounce of hesitation or guilt and I feel like we don’t talk about that enough.

#I mean same tho #but Steven Grant is a ruthless motherfucker #and we don’t talk about it enough #Steven is JUST as batshit crazy as Jake tbh #and you know I love him for it #sorry I’m having Moon Knight feels again #moon knight #steven grant #marc spector #marcsteven

Thinking about Elia Martell as a deconstruction of the princess in the tower…but her tale being the very worst outcome of the classic trope. She’s a princess locked in a tower by an evil dragon (Aerys), unable to protect herself or her children. Her own uncle is a knight, a white knight in fact, yet he is too far away to help her. She could hope for rescue…and rescue does come. Well actually not really. Tywin storms the gates, Gregor storms the castle, and the knight who should’ve rescued the pretty princess is actually here to murder her. But not before he defiles her first.

#aerys being the evil dragon gregor being the knight who should’ve rescued the princess from the dragon #and then there’s the lion of lannister- tywin #the breaking down of fantasy in that the lion is not the mighty and honorable king #but a ruthless man whose grab for power leaves corpses in his wake #did I mention that the tower is also gender? 🙃 #asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #elia martell #the princess in the tower #gregor clegane #aerys ii targaryen #fuck gregor fuck lorch #fuck that raggedy man called aerys #most of all FUCK TYWIN LANNISTER ME AND THE HOMIES HATE TYWIN #can’t wait for young griff to destroy tywin’s legacy don’t even care if he’s a fake

Secret plot ideas I would love to rp with D if I ever get the chance CORRUPTION ARC. Just D losing all faith in humanity and becoming Feral. He becomes the monster his father, Dracula was. After all, D was created to be his dad's successor. In canon it is implied that D is named after Dracula. Destined to be Drac JR. Like D just embracing the WORST aspects he keeps hidden underneath his stony facade. Just like his twin bro. I think someone will have to push this man into villainy because he ain't gonna go evil himself. Just D HAPPYILY DRINKING THE BLOOD OF ANYONE AND EVERYONE. MORE RUTHLESS MORE COLD BLOODIED (Lol The pun.) FUcking done and jaded and realizes his father may be right about humanity.

#ooc #rp wishlist #{D's been nice and stoic for too long} #{Now is a time for him to go Apeshit. At least once. #{The narrative constantly brings attention of the possible beastly nature of D. His bloodlust. His ruthlessness. Esp when his twin #Is introduced in twin-shadowed knight

[ID: Digital illustration of Knight Triumphant from Blaseball. Knight is a suit of armor with African fish eagle motifs, including sweeping metal wings. He is standing with his hands resting on his longsword. Both the sword and his helmet are splattered with blood, discoloring the otherwise pristine armor. The second image is a close-up his bloodied chestplate and helmet. End ID.]

I feel like Jason becomes very protective over his siblings, like even Dick, post-reconcile with the family. Like this man is the Only Fucker that's allowed to fuck with them and make their lives difficult. He actively seeks out anyone that might mess with his family and makes their lives a living hell, and though he does do some shady shit sometimes, he'll always be cursed to care about the batfamily.

#listen idk about yall but jason being the protective second older brother fuels me #especially with the fact that like no matter what universe you look at he always carries fondness for them still even if he hates it #like even if we go by arkham knight game jason in the tapes hes still not ruthless with barbara and asks her how alfred is #and theres reluctance to do these things even though hes angry and hurt because even there his only qualms were with bruce #and he still couldnt kill him #jason throwing hands for his little siblings #jason launching a man for calling dick the ethnic-group g slur and dick having to pull him off the guy to keep him from killing him #jason biting back with words whenever some little prick is giving damian a hard time for being arabic!!! #jason has absolutely no patience for people that fuck with his family #oh my god jason asking one of the girls if they want to handle catcallers or if theyll let him do it #steph has to say no because she knows jason might accidentally kill them even if he holds back #duke doesnt need the protection but the fact that jason stands up for him even still means a lot to him #i need to shut up im talking too much #jaybirdwhistles #jason todd

The appeal of starting from the ending and working back is that you put a cap on every Might Have Been, every wandering tangent, etc. that your drafting mind might otherwise wind down. And there's nothing more irritating then having a good idea when wrapping something up only to realize you didn't have time to foreshadow it like you did the other 2 or 3 recurring consequences (TV writer woes).

Everything in the final conversation Abernathy has with Valentine has to be doing the work of two or three callbacks. Right now I've only hit the initial callbacks, and as I sketch out the ideas mentioned her in passing, which evoke certain strong emotions, then I know I need to do something with V's work involvement with Biotechnica, with some sort of clash with Jenkins, with what Valentine is like when she loses her temper. And I know that because it's what Abernathy is fixated on trying to control this breakup conversation, and also reveals what Abernathy herself is concerned about, and perhaps has been concerned about for a long time and never shown. (Or has she?)

Anyhow I love talking process, so this is the kind of skeleton script I'm going to be working backwards from. It will most certainly not survive exactly like this, but it's a good anchoring point:

<>

“If you tell anyone about anything, I’ll have you removed and handled as a double agent. You have been awful involved with Biotechnica lately.” - “I’m not going to warn you again. Do you understand?”

(dully) “You do that and they’ll know I was telling the truth.”

“It doesn’t matter what they know, it matters what they can prove.” (you know this. we've talked about this. don't be stupid.)

“I suppose next you’ll be asking me to use my new position to spy on Jenkins for you.” (petulant. bitter. a tool, you were always a tool, do you understand?)

“No. I know how you get when you’re angry.” (thinking. malicious. flippant.) “Besides, I thought you’d enjoy a chance to get your claws into him.”

(silently angry. is the implication that she’d do for him what she’d done for her? that she’s just a dangerous beast? that she knows her and her anger so well?)

“Well?”

“What do you want me to do? Beg for leniency? Make some emotional plea? You want me to ask if you ever even gave a shit about me? You want me to put on a show?” - “You wouldn’t believe a word I said anyway. Give me a cigarette.”

(hands one over, lights it. finally makes eye contact. this is real.) “Don’t look so glum. You wouldn’t have gotten half as far as you have without my help. You can cry into your bank account if you want, but it’s not like I’m kicking you out on the street.”

“Alright.” (inhale. peace. emptiness. drains her drink. drops the cigarette into abernathy’s.) “It’s done.”

<>

Re-reading this I already know I need to work in some reference to Valentine's mother and some warning/advice/celebration they have near the end of this reverse story. Something that ties back to her own failed marriage and divorce and dashed expectations. Something about finding a reason to keep going on until you can't bear to any more. Something that echoes the familial stubbornness which means Valentine in the damn things overlap will endure anything so long as she knows the expiration date.

The most fascinating part of writing these two to me is that Abernathy has this very strict rule about never admitting guilt or regret directly, but she'll say something like "I'd apologize but it's already done, isn't it?" and it's like YOU COULD STILL SAY IT! But she sees that as weakness. And Valentine picks up that same attitude here "What do you want me to do? Beg for leniency? Make some emotional plea?" They're mocking each other for the very normal human desire for acknowledgement. They're intelligence agents who think they're just making sure they're not fooling themselves (they're fooling themselves). Sincerity is only useful for pre-empting someone else trying to expose your vulnerability.

Anyway, they're operating on a certain set of fucked up toxic social rules that are in some respects even harsher than the normal corpo set. They're self-policing, because Abernathy is obsessed with gaining favor with someone who is a misogynistic homophobe, and she's playing for keeps against people who aren't reviled by this person. The idea might also come up that she doesn't NEED to be doing it to this degree, but she's warped her own idea of what she needs to do, and what kind of person she needs to be, and applied that to Valentine as well. The tragedy is that they love each other. They work well together. It's never going to work out. It didn't work out. But look at what they had, and how fucked up and funny and exciting it all was before it went to shit.

#ship: hand in unlovable hand #that thrill of showing how in sync people used to be. how even when they're nasty you can feel the wistfulness #and then you get to trace it back to see how much they enjoyed each other honestly. before they sacrificed it for the job #you can't be smart and ruthless and powerful and successful if you're in Love. attachment is weakness #except ironically it's Valentine's utter loyal attachment that gets abernathy where she needs to go. that's why she ultimately gets Fired #placing her in the perfect position for her to warm to Johnny except then she meets Goro Takemura lol #knight-errant origin story #banished for dumb loyalty. bitter and angry but refusing to betray that sworn confidence even in exile. you know??

“Homecoming,” Moon Knight Annual (Vol. 3/2022), #1

Writer: Jed MacKay; Artist: Federico Sabbatini; Colorist: Rachelle Rosenberg; Letterer: Cory Petit

#Marvel #Marvel comics #Marvel 616 #Moon Knight 2022 #Moon Knight comics #latest release #Moon Knight #Marc Spector #Reese #Marlene Alraune #Hunter’s Moon #first off I love Mr. MacKay’s habit of overlaying action with dialogue #it makes for efficient storytelling and pacing (imo) #but gosh this hurts #I mean it makes sense from what I’ve gathered of the story Mr. MacKay wants to tell #and part of the reason why Marlene and Marc were such a good match was because she’s just as pragmatic/ruthless #(if not more so in some instances) as he is #and now with Diatrice around she’s simply removed herself from the dangerous situation #but to reiterate…gosh it still hurts #at least we got further confirmation as to the platonic nature of Reese and Marc’s relationship yaaaaay I’ll take what I can get hahaha

Had it not been for her time among the other Black Serpents, Rethel would have been much colder and power hungry than she was. She already had her habits of usurping what she deemed weak leaderships to take charge, was already well-versed in using her silver tongue to get her way with nobles and knights alike, every little bit she was trained in growing up, to serve as the proper heir to the Alberich name, and her father’s successor once the time came. However, it was in joining the knights ( done because Anfortas figured it would do her good to build reputation and support for herself in being among them, as well as for how good it would look to show her capabilities rather than having her be chosen successor to himself from her being his daughter ), that she was able to break out of the much more selfish, cunning mentality and truly come to understand and adore the people she was told she would lead over one day. And it was that fondness that would let her dedicate her heart to ( what she assumed was ) the bitter end, when the Cataclysm fell upon her beloved home.

#hc; rethel #//She defers to her captains; of course #//If not bc it is a smart choice; showing compliance and support so they’d never suspect just how much ambition lurked beneath her facade #//Then bc she would eventually come to adore and genuinely respect TWO she would fight and train under #//And thus her loyalty would influence that #//Alberich she may be; opportunistic and cunning in her blood; ruthlessness in mind and objective #//But when her loyalty is earned; she KNOWS how to pay it back. and it is nigh Impossible to waver #//She considers herself lucky she had yet to be forced to choose between her father’s ambition and her fellow knights #//In a way; is morbidly thankful the Cataclysm stole the choice from her #//Even if it meant losing both in the process #//To elaborate on that usurping bit; basically every little squad she’d be put into; if the leader wasn’t firm and steady? #//Shed atep right up and lead the lot of them in the person’s stead #//Either by demonstrating herself to be more capable or using what she learned to turn everyone in them one by one and take over that way #//She did NOT play around with that
