So I just had a thought, illusion magic is basically messing with a person's senses, mainly vision right?

So with this in mind, you can essentially give a person sensory overload and use it to disorient and even incapacitate them.

I bet you could even make someone either temporarily or permanently blind by making the illusion too bright to look at.

There's also the possibility to make someone absolutely hallucinate/trip balls.

If we want to go there, it also has the potential to trigger/give someone epilepsy. Heck, even straight-up give someone a seizure.

Now let's take it further.

Remember how Gus essentially mindfucked Adrian Graye with his worst memories?

What if you can prolong it and basically torture the person by making them see their traumatic memories for too long? (Hours, days, weeks, months, a year?)

You'd be giving the person a personalized never-ending nightmare.

It'd probably drive them to the brink of insanity.

Now that's a fate I wouldn't wish on anyone.

With this in mind, illusion magic is just certified mindfuckery and mind rape in its purest form and because of this, it's pretty OP and downright dangerous magic if used by the wrong person.

Or if the person gets a little too creative with illusions.

Yes.

Bricks AND screws.

Yes they said it was apparently totally unrealistic to have them in Star Wars.

At Times Like These--

--we have only each other.

This past weekend was a blur but my exhaustion is worth it.

I splurged and saw the matinee on Sunday and well as the final show.

First, Andrew Kober as Beetlejuice for the matinee. He is AMAZING. It felt like watching the show for the first time again. People have their favorites and fans like us can appreciate the differences all the understudies put into the role, but Kober is the second best Beej. Full stop. He has a fantastic mix of desperation and manic energy, with an underlying menace that, ngl, Alex sort of lost as the show went on.

During the matinee there was audience participation I haven't heard ever happening:

Kober says his line, "All I want is for someone, anyone to look my way and say “Hey."

Couple of audience members say loudly, "Hey!"

Kober continues, "I see you."

More audience, "I see you!"

Kober, "I accept you."

More audience, "I accept you!"

Kober, "And I fear for my safety around you.”

All of the audience, "And I fear for my safety around you!"

Kober, pauses. Then, "Nope. Didn't work."

We, the entire audience, lost.our.minds.

Now. The closing show ...

Fucking hell. I mean that in the best possible way.

Standing ovations from the beginning. For every actor.

It took so long for Alex to even drop the newspaper. He tapped his foot. He leaned back (allllll the way back) to lean on the coffin. He got on the floor. Then, and only then, did he drop the paper to renewed enthusiastic applause.

Every actor played along with their rightfully deserved ovation and applause during their entrances. It was so heartwarming.

I know everyone has seen all the "what happened during the last performance" posts that people are doing, but NO ONE has mentioned these things:

1) at the end of the TBS reprise, Alex ran up the stairs with a clone and started aggressively making out with them as the set changed

2) when Adam stops him from murdering Charles and goes into his "you have groped me, etc" speech, Alex made these increasingly feral, increasingly loud snarling noises like he was getting ready to scrap (. . . or screw)

3) during the Adam and Beej kiss, it went hard. Alex groped David's ass and pretended to dip a finger between his ass cheeks/shove a finger in him, then smelled his finger when David was pulled away. Then he stalked after David for more before Kerry grabbed him.

(I know I am looking at all that though the lens of a smut writer, but hoooo boy.)

Alex Timbers' speech was nice, but not allowing anyone else to say anything?! Fuck whoever made that decision. Alex was actively walking forward for the mic when the curtain stared coming down. He and Elizabeth looked surprised, so they weren’t told about it, obviously, which is unfortunate and understandably upsetting. Here is someone who had been active with the show since 2017 helping to make it what it became plus a new star that embraced (and was embraced by) the fandom, to the point she cracked during the very last word of the show, and they were denied? I'd heard from reliable sources that other cast members had some things prepared as well, and they didn't get the chance to say anything either. It was just abrupt and crushed the energy that had been wild up till then.

This show has meant so much to so many people, including myself. Alex Timbers told us what we already knew: Over a million people saw Beetlejuice on Broadway. That the audience for Beetlejuice was statistically younger than the average for Broadway shows. That Beetlejuice was the first Broadway show for a huge number of audience members. That the fact that fans were so engaged and active that we helped bring it back from the dead. We said his name three times, and Beetlejuice returned for a real send off, one the show deserved, to 1600 adoring Netherlings.

Hi, just wanted to remind you that I still love all the ego stuff you wrote. I was a big lurker during the time you actively wrote it but dude it was so fucking good.

When I think about the egos, I mostly think about your stuff bc it made the characters come to life. It was so good. I can’t say it enough.

The stuff I’m pulling from memory rn is Anti’s time in The Forgotten. Like my bro, my dude, my homie. That shit pulled at my heart. The fact that he was only gone for like a day or smt in our dimension but he had actually been gone for like 10 years in that dimension experiencing horrors unknown. AND NOBEDY KNEW???? Good shit.

The relationship between the Host and dr. Iplier. Still one of my fav bromances. Like the trust between them and how it was made through hardships. It came to a point where Host even trusted Doc with his name??? Which gave him power over Host, something he was so afraid of. Doc made him a better man. Stopped him from being too cruel. But than he had to forget it bc he went insane. BUT BECAUSE HOST IS AN ASS, HE MADE DOC AND ANTI FORGET EVERYTHING. My guy, that’s your platonic husband and adopted son. Yes I was screaming about that. That still gets me going.

There is so much other stuff too though. Like Anti and Doc becoming family. The egos all getting closer. Phantom being an absolute menace every time he appeared. The Googles becoming more and more human over time.

You introduced me to Wiggles. Didn’t know anything about PJ before I started reading your works.

What it all boils down to, is me wanting to thank you. I don’t know how you look back on those ego stories but it got me through some dark times. You updating it always made my day better. I still carry a piece of it with me everywhere I go and has also inspired me a lot. So thank you!

Oh man, thank you so much for taking time to send this! It's honestly insanely encouraging to hear those stories stuck with you. I still love them a lot myself, cringe or no, because they're such a fun time capsule of that period in my life, and this blog and all the people who followed it (lurkers and all) also helped me get through college in one piece.

Gosh I did put Anti through so much, but in my defense, it was for character development! He and Ollie were always one of my favorite dynamics to write, personally. I mean, the computer glitch demon and the sentient android with a heart of gold? I still haven't made up something that good since. Also the Mare and Phantom dynamic, which they were always managing to screw up somehow. Unhealthy sibling dynamics are the best.

It's also insane that so much of the Host stuck with you because he was always my favorite to write and the one that felt the most like mine at the end of the day. The fact that Mark announced he'd retired him as a character and we all collectively agreed to kidnap him and give him a story is still one of this fandom's shining moments in my mind. In fact, I've kinda snagged Host for different original stories I'm writing now just because I miss writing him so much. I've also kept The Forgotten as a concept, which is definitely getting used in a setting I'm working on now because the angst potential is indeed too good to deny.

Also, while we're strolling down memory lane, what one writer gets to wipe their entire canon midway through and start over again in an alternate timeline whilst using references to the previous timeline to terrorize their readers? Ending one timeline of the blog to begin another was a wild but fascinating experiment on my part to see how I could use it to play with foreshadowing and all that jazz. Plus nothing will ever quite beat letting the audience reach into the narrative and start making their own waves from time to time.

But even though I do mostly original stories now, I'm still loving writing found families and platonic soulmates and maybe the redeeming of one or two villains, so I appreciate all the practice and the feedback I got from these stories! I'll probably keep sneaking Ego references into my stories forever. I'd also be curious to know which story arcs stuck with other people??

#i forgot how much i love talking about these stories though #its been too long!!#markiplier egos #jse egos

Finally Broken Down and Watched the Prequels

I honestly don't remember if I've seen them all before or just clips. But after a few years of being a Star Wars fan on a steady diet of fandom, I broke down and pulled out the Phantom Menace to cap off my birthday. I’m spoiled to hell and back and a couple decades older than the intended audience but what the hell. So here’s my two cents (or more) arrogant opinion on The Phantom Menace:

Heads up, long post.

Shmi surprised me the most of any character. After reading fanfics about Jedi or Qui Gon pressuring/coercing her…she’s the one who asks them to take Anakin? For education she can’t give him? Okay, fair. And I’m 100% onboard with Shmi as Force Sensitive and/or taught Jedi beliefs cause her lines are peak Jedi. Anakin not only betrayed Jedi teachings but ALSO HIS MOM’S when he went Darth Vader. Congrats, you become not only Galaxy’s Worst Father but also Galaxy’s Worst Son.

Shmi is also clearly enslaved by the plot. Not even Anakin selling the winning pod racer was enough money to free her…but somehow Cleigg Lars has the cash? Is he supposed to be running a plantation here?

Jar Jar was annoying but given how low my expectations of him were set? Eh, the worst thing about him was the blatant racist portrayal (and he’s not alone) in a film whose MAIN THEME is equality. Bad enough to have a bigoted cliche show up but George Lucas are you deliberately shooting your movie’s message in the foot?

This is especially bad when another blatant racist portrayal is Watto and the Jedi are Space Jewish Buddhists! Enough idiots buy the Sith propaganda that Jedi steal children or whatever that attitude does NOT NEED REINFORCEMENT!

Especially not IRL.

Qui Gon harping on Anakin needing to be trained but NOT being the one to train Anakin was also a bit unexpected, given his fanon portrayals. I mean on the one hand I’m glad you’re not screwing your Padawan over completely but on the other hand you found and freed Anakin and now you want to pawn him off? Which he did, in the end.

Poor Obi Wan though, like I get this isn’t an easy solution and Qui Gon is backed in a corner but man you'd think a diplomat would be a little better! But kudos for Kenobi he looked past his hurt and rallied to support his Master for a nine year old’s sake.

Tales of the Jedi seems to imply the Council sent Qui Gon to Darth Maul like a lamb to the slaughter but that was not what I got. No one, not even Qui Gon or Obi Wan, seemed to think they couldn’t handle him. Not entirely certain they didn’t write off his appearance as a 100 on the random encounters table but anyway…

I’ve seen the clip of Anakin standing before the Council and unlike a lot of scenes it feels more open to interpretation – is Anakin cold cause of the Dark Side growing from his fear or cause he’s used to Tattooine? Does he fear for his enslaved mom or for his own pain from losing her? Is Anakin behaving himself better because he’s intimidated or because he has his serious pants on like everyone else? Does he think the Jedi will kick him out on the street or does he know he’ll still be taken care of?

Also the movie ends with Mace and Yoda - The Two Top Ranking Jedi - discussing the Sith Master, so the Jedi are clearly jumping onto that investigation.

I was just thinking about how I tend to really engage with characters who have great capacities for good combined with significant personal flaws. Sometimes the flaws are disastrous—I've loved many a tortured villain (but generally not unconcerned, pure-evil-with-panache villains). Sometimes I like anti-heroic characters who are charismatically edgy, but not only edgy—there's got to be something more going on with them, moments when you can hope for better things (like with Mary Crawford).

Sometimes the significant flaws almost lead to disaster, but after much struggle are overcome before the disaster happens (like Luke Skywalker in the OT). Sometimes the flaws do lead to disaster, or at least significantly contribute to it, but that capacity for something better—either in the future or in the sense of possibility—is essential (like with Anakin). Sometimes the external effects are minimal but the flaw is still significant to the character, at least as far as I'm concerned, especially if it's surprising (like with book Faramir).

But sometimes a character is presented as so overwhelmingly good and right-thinking, with such minimal development or flaws I find so ephemeral or unconvincing, that I'm like ... they're fine, I guess? But I don't really love them. I need some sharp edges, at least in my own perception of the character.

Faramir probably has the least of this of my faves, but his mixture of menace and graciousness in TTT and his lashing out in ROTK sells the virtue for me, you know? It's like when people in Austen fandom go on about why would you choose Darcy as the favorite JA hero when you could choose heroes who don't screw up nearly as much and are therefore more deserving, and I'm just, uh, Darcy's powerful virtuousness (which is very real) works for me because he screws up so badly, and does so in large part because of his personal flaws, and has a whole arc involving them.

Of course, it's not just any personal flaw that makes characters like these appealing. There are definitely characters who mix admirable qualities with significant flaws that I find deeply annoying or even repellent. Generally, there has to be a reason for the development of the flaw/flaws that makes intuitive sense to me and which I find more or less sympathetic (Attolia Irene), or an external pressure that winds up the flaw/flaws dramatically and drives the character on (Denethor). Also, some characteristics are just personally irritating or unappealing to me (or alternately, ones I just like—hard, intense, and determined female characters, to the point of of occasional ruthlessness But There's A Reason, are probably my favorite type of female character).

But yeah, "What about X? They don't screw up in any meaningful way, they're just soft and good" is always going to be a tough sell for me.

Tickletober Day 1: Anticipation

Fandom: Wednesday

-Enjoy!

-----------------------

Xavier knew he was screwed as soon as she let herself in. Actually, he knew when he saw her sitting grumpily at lunch.

"Bad day?" He asked, eyeing her warily.

"Yes." Wednesday replied curtly, gathering up some of his paint and preparing a canvas.

"Wanna talk about it?"

"No." The reply made him freeze for only a moment. He cleared his throat and watched, to his horror, as she set up her space directly next to his.

They painted in silence. To anyone else, it would seem like a nice scene. Just two friends, comfortable in each other's presence without need to speak.

For poor Xavier though, it was anything but comfortable.

His movements were stiff and his face was slightly pink. Every few seconds, his eyes were drawn in her direction. His nerves were buzzing as he waited for her inevitable attack.

During one of his passing glances, Wednesday looked at him slyly. He inhaled sharply, watching her closely. She deliberately reached for a thicker brush and wiggled her fingers before picking it up.

Xavier's eyes widened and he turned away immediately. What was he painting again? It was so hard to focus with her right there.

"Hm…" the evil Addams hummed, tilting her head. "Maybe…"

Her hand shot towards the boy, fingers formed into claws. He yelped and dropped his brush. His arms went down to defend and he closed his eyes, preparing for…

… nothing?

He carefully opened one eye, then his jaw dropped, offended.

She stood there, head cocked in confusion. Evidently, she was just being a little menace, for she had stolen his magenta paint.

"Hey!" He huffed, relaxing only a tiny bit. "I was using that!"

"No you weren't." She said, looking back at her own canvas. "You were too busy waiting for me to tickle you."

He spluttered, his face going scarlet. "Wha- no! I wasn't- why-"

She held a hand up and slowly turned to face him again. She hummed thoughtfully, her eyes going from her canvas to his face, then back to whatever masterpiece she was creating. Xavier peaked at it and saw that it was covered in a light, redish color.

"I've been having trouble with my background." She said, slowly putting her brush down. "I just can't seem to get the right shade of red."

Xavier looked like a deer in headlights. His own eyes tracked between her and her canvas. A shiver ran down his spine as she cracked her knuckles and stepped towards him. He, obviously, stepped back.

"I think," she said, a smirk growing on her lips, "if I can make you blush only a little more, your face will be the perfect reference…"

He gulped.

Yep, he was so screwed.

Tagged: 10 Fandoms, 10 Characters, 10 Tags

⁄⁠(⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠•⁠⁄⁠-⁠⁄⁠•⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠)⁠⁄ Thank you for the tag @x-authorship-x 🥰

John Doe (UnOrdinary)

First off, yes, his name really is John Doe LOL. He's not a very popular type of main character - at least in my experience. He's fiercely protective and cunning. And he struggles a lot with figuring himself out. He's the kind of main character that you have to follow around even when you don't agree with his decisions.

Shikamaru Nara (Naruto)

Underrated fr. Like we have so very few braincell holders in Naruto and Shikamaru is a reluctant holder of one. Despite his genius we all are aware of just how human he is. He still is vulnerable to the natural things of life and his own emotions.

Yes i am going to go on living life pretending that the Burrito version of Shikamaru doesn't exist :)

Ochaco Uraraka (Boku No Hero Academia)

The cute girl that could and would fight you and WIN.

She has a special place for me. She could have so easily been left at just the cute best friend girl or the poor girl gag or quirky love interest. But she isn't! And it's refreshing! She takes the path she set out on seriously. She has a kindness about her but she is also determined to do what's right. And she's prepared to take what steps she needs to protect herself and others. If you say her match with Bakugou didn't change your brain chemistry YOU'RE LYING!

Obi (Akagami No Shirayukihime)

The man that he is. Full disclosure, I've read a lot of Shoujo but OBI is truly the first character that I craved more of. Seriously, I want his backstory so bad but I fear we'll never be allowed to have it. He's an assassin turned official knight. He's roguish but just as seamlessly can be a gentleman. He's dangerous but he chooses to be soft and fond. Don't even get me started on the found family dynamics!!

Minhyuk (I Love Yoo)

The best big brother/best friend ever.

Minhyuk is THE BEST. And I accept Nothing Else. He's the pillar needed in crazy situations. Even if he's not physically there. He understands when to push and when to play around. Genuinely the only guy I trust with Shin-ae's literal life (Sorry, Dieter). He has her best interests at heart even when he's not completely in the know about what's going on. Dude is willing to try fighting CEOs to protect her and DID fight her stalkers.

Padme Amidala (Star Wars)

Okay her taste in men is to be taken with a bucket of salt BUT!!

Come on! Queen!! Undercover specialist - posing as her on Lady-in-waiting is such a boss move! Unafraid of active warzones and assassination attempts! Fashion icon!

Loki (Thor MCU)

As you may be seeing: i have a tendency to gravitate to characters that are usually inclined to manipulation and violence complex. I could genuinely go on and on about the beautiful depth of his character but then I'd get sad about what he became in Ragnarok and onwards. But yeah, love Loki - adore him truly!!!

Koushi Sugawara (Haikyuu!!)

Chaotic good at its finest.

THE Morale!! THE Refreshing!! THE Mom!! OUR Vice Captain!! The lovely Suga!! The biggest chaos gremlin of them all! Would literally win in a fight with every single member of the Karasuno team (with merciless cheating lol). I love the diversity in him: he can be the steady senpai, flipping at a switch between happy-go-lucky and excitable aggression, seems like the least threatening member when he loves screwing with the other side mentally. He's great >:)

Diana Prince (Wonder Woman)

Literally my favorite rendition of Wonder Woman. She's sheltered but well-intentioned. She's determined and doesn't let things like social norms get in her way. She brought humanity to a setting we constantly forget the humanity of. She's not afraid of being emotional because there's no shame in it. She showed us what some heroes forget to show us, that things aren't always good and bad guys.

Kim Dokja (Omniscient Reader Viewpoint)

He's such a mastermind, he's great!! A MENACE UNLEASHED!

Okay so admittedly, i don't think I'll even be able to scratch the surface of the genius that is his character. He's literally Upgraded Coping Mechanism on top of Well-used Coping Mechanism. A Reader given the same detachment from reality that protected them but debilitated them but now it makes them the most powerful and prepared. And he uses it with so much tangible smugness

Say what you will about Qui-Gon - and fandom definitely has a lot to say about him, most of it unfounded by the source material and exaggerated as all hell based on misinformation and a desire for Obi-Wan whump - but if you look at the actual books and the movie without bad faith blinders on, there's no denying that he loves Obi-Wan so very much. He's pretty bad at outright saying it, and Obi-Wan is insecure enough that he often tends to assume the worst, so there's plenty of miscommunication between them especially at first, but Qui-Gon does love him. A lot. And tries to be better for him, to work past the untreated trauma that Xanatos gave him.

He's obviously not prefect, and quite often it's like "please, just talk to each other! It'd clear up so much so fast!", but this trend of Qui-Gon being cold and dismissive of Obi-Wan is just objectively wrong. I know you've never read the books, and am unsure if you've watched The Phantom Menace, but just. The look he gives Obi-Wan as he's dying, so full of love and affection as he tenderly brushes his cheek as his last action. The way he talks about Obi-Wan in the books, awkward and fumbling and scared of screwing things up but still so willing to try, because Obi-Wan is worth it to him. Whatever faults he has, however he's screwed up, the one thing he did not do was fail to wholeheartedly love Obi-Wan.

And personally I find that makes Obi-Wan's heartbreak over losing Qui-Gon even more impactful. Sure it's sad if he's mourning someone who didn't care back, but to lose someone who was basically his parent and who genuinely loved and cared for him? To have him die in his arms and, judging by the look on his face, open up the training bond to send him all the love that he didn't have the breath to say? It would have been gutting. That kind of loss is much more devastating (to me, at least). And given some of the adopted parent-child feelings you've given Shisui in the past, I feel like it'd be more interesting to you too? Might be off the mark on that though, in which case, sorry for the unprompted... character assessment? Or whatever this is. Midnight thoughts I thought you might be interested and wanted to share.

Oh hello! I'm gonna assume this is prompted by my tag that says something along the lines of "qui-gon critical because I can't miss a chance to take a shot?"

I picked 'critical' instead of 'bashing' or even any of the 'bad parent'/'A+ parenting' tags because I'm deffo not gonna just toss in a load of salt about qui-gon being a useless cold bastard haha, no it's more like you said about the sheer lack of communication and also the frankly terrible rollercoaster of Obi-wan's padawan years. I agree that there was a great deal of love and care between Qui-gon and Obi-wan but they're a classic case of the problems in Yoda's damned lineage... I genuinely think it would kill them all, on the damned SPOT, to try and say the word "love" aloud

Like.... EVERYONE GO TO THERAPY and also family counseling whilst you're at it

Qui-Gon is just.... his relationship with Obi-wan just had So. Many. Moments. And you want to just... just say sorry, say that he's doing well, say that you're trying, say that you trust him and you're proud and you'll be there. Oh, you can't because that's attachment? Hate to break it to you, IDIOTS, but avoiding saying the words that match the fucking actions - as if the Darkside is waiting to pounce from above - is the same as covering your face and thinking you'll win at hide-and-seek.... deluded!

ANYWAY sorry I got a bit passionate there, I like to pick up canon's nonsense ideas about emotional constipation, nod sagely, and then toss them in a wood chipper :)

There won't be qui-gon bashing - just judging, which no one is safe from - since I can't even commit to bashing Kylo Ren and him I really do hate 😂

And you're not off the mark at all, Anon, you've got my number because.... yeah, I can never ever resist platonic feels and Obi-wan's relationship with Anakin especially is going be a tear-jerker of tenderness

Thing is shit talking about Lila gives some Miraculous Stanatics a false sense of empowerment. Oh Rossi is a bad is a villain so what.

And? I see things but I also see why you know.

Your main hero ain't something to write home about. Lila lies so does your heroes or really your hero. She's just as bad or equally or worse than Lila. And has a longer history of that. You just paint it to yourselves that the heroes side is hyper valid.

It's a shame that one youtuber who saw both sides of the situation took her videos down (something puffz).

I got a hotter take than that. Ladybug/Marinette is just teen Hawk Moth/Gabriel Agreste on the heroes side.

Just accept Marinette screwed up Royally TWICE (Well Thrice cause Felix and Hawk Moment) and has to deal with it and causes various problems with others. And that toxic environments are leaveable if wanted but you she won't for her Adrien is her Sun in that environment. I think people should consider who they are messing with. You try destroying a random you don't know anything about without second thought, don't cry when true terror is among you.

Oh wait I can hear some fanfiction au rewrite fix its memes arising.

And you losers trying to compare your childhood traumas with Marinette are wack. Again you just implied you are the perpetrator who is paying the consequence of your own stupid but has nothing else better to do than be a Marinette/Ladybug Emulation and keep fueling the fire.

Thank you for making me a Miraculous Anti though.

P.S.

Thank you Lila Rossi for being a hotter topic menace to the accursed fandom than the actual menace that should be looked at.

Yknow an underrated tk trope that I love and need more of? The fell through the floor and is now trapped

YES and the best version of that is when it is two people teasing the one that is trapped. One underneath and one up top. Luckily, we have some amazing triples in our fandom. Two of my fav…

~~Dream Team and Karlnapity~~

Okay so, first question. Who’s falling through the floor?

Dream Team

I gotta say George. Gogy was doing something dumb. He probably deserves the tickles he’s about to be receiving if we are all honest with each other.

He was picking on Sapnap and they started rough housing, then…George is suddenly caught halfway between the upstairs and downstairs. In sync they scream “DREAAAAM!!!!” for help. (Helpless without him.) ((I love them))

His voice is heard from downstairs. “George?”.

Karlnapity

It’s gonna be Karl. He’s so tall and spindly imagine his legs kicking out in panic gahh.

They’re all together when Karl’s foot finds a weakspot in the wood and he crashes through. Quackity takes off down the stairs to possibly catch him. (A ridiculous thought for the small small man…but we all know he would catch him anyway.)

Who is going to start the tickling?

Dream Team

Sapnap is quickly remembering every time George has ever teased him and been a menace, and it’s a lot. After a quick little check to make sure he isn’t in pain and is truly trapped, Sapnap sticks his fingers right into George’s worst spot, his armpits.

Dream was going to try to be helpful, he really was! Sapnap is definitely going to get the ball rolling with the tickles and once Dream hears his precious Gogy shrieking and laughing away he goes into trance. He needs to hear more. Nowwww.

Karlnapity

Karl is kind of screwed here. The very second he realizes he is trapped he knows he’s about to have the muffin tickled out of him. I headcannon these three to always have tickling fresh on the mind.

Sapnap, just like how he would with the Dream Team, goes for the kill right away. He grabs Karl right where his neck meets his shoulders, where he’s his absolute weakest.

And as soon as Quackity realized Karl was not in pain he found the situation cripplingly funny. He holds on to one of Karl’s squirmy legs and just doubles over in his insane chaotic laughter. (A terrifying noise to hear when you are trapped.) When he hears Karl’s reaction to Sapnap’s shenanigans he joins in very playfully. Once he calms down, he starts grabbing at Karl’s jumpy hips and waist.

Tickly reactions~

Dream Team

Poor George just goes feral. His arms are trapped close to his body and he has absolutely no hope of stopping Sapnap’s evil fingers from wedging into his underarms. His cute little head just drops back and he his cackling like a maniac. He kicks his legs desperately.

Dream coo’s at the precious laughter. Somehow, George’s insaaaane cackling is one of the things he finds most endearing about him. He grabs hold of one of the frantic legs and latches onto the thigh, squeezing some horrified screaming out of the trapped boy.

George is so unbelievably helpless and had no expectation of the tickles before they came so he is just a mess. Red faced. Begging desperately. It’s humiliating, but he can’t handle it at all and he knows the only way he is getting out of here is getting Dream to feel sympathy for him. And he can’t even see Dream!

All he can see through his watery eyes is this horribly smug and determined look on Sapnap’s face. Sapnap switches to tickling at his chest and collarbone and George is so sure he won’t survive. He can hardly scrunch up and is basically just stuck there taking it. Sapnap is close too, it’s all so flustering.

Down where he can’t see, Dream’s stupid giant hands are wrapped around his little legs and he can nottttt stand it.

“Please!” “Guys I can’t!” “FUCK!!” “Dream I’m going to die!” “You have to stoppp!!” “FUUUCK!”

He curses out Sapnap’s whole life and begs Dream with such embarrassing pleads he knows be will never live it down.

Karlnapity

Karl has complicated feelings for tickling.

When he sees that look in Sapnap’s eyes he flushes. When he hears Quackity’s laughter somewhere beneath him he squirms. Butterflies crop up in his stomach and he whimpers.

“Sap come on not there!!!”

He’s just a little helpless squealing noodle while Sapnap takes his need to torture out on him for a little. Massaging his shoulders riiiiight where it makes Karl convulse. Karl let’s out the most precious little wail when Quackity collects himself and starts tickling him, too.

Sapnap gets down and switches to teasing his love. He kisses and plays with Karl’s blushing ears. It’s horribly cute.

Quackity is out of view so the tickling is a bit worse down below. Karl feels playful grabs and squeezes darting around his midsection. Firm at his hips and gentle at his sides.

It could be worse. Karl knows firsthand what they are both capable of. But, they keep the tickles at a playful and teasing level. It kills him anyway. The focused attention of his fiancés always does. Somehow, they always know what they are doing.

Karl’s giggles are precious and hysterical. His hands are trapped down at his sides and they clap open and shut helplessly. He dies under the affection of his fiancés. Quackity knows just where to grab, that evil evil man. Sapnap’s flustering lips tease at his warm ears and drive him up a wall.

—Sleepy thank you thank you!!! I had so much fun writing this, I hope you like it! Guys pls tell me what you think!!

The anon with the Euron Greyjoy quote (which goes HARD) most probably meant David and Dan, I don't know how much you are involved in the Game of Thrones fandom or how much of the show you have seen but these two are the showrunners known mostly as "D&D" who are largely hated by the fandom for screwing up the later seasons. And Euron as a character did get screwed over, tbh most characters did in the last 3 seasons or so. But he is like the furthest he can be from his bookself, Book Euron is a MENACE.

David and Dan were fine and even great when they followed George R.R. Martin's writing but once they ran out of material and starting changing shit up the show went downhill.

AH that's what D&D meant AHAHAHHAH i was very much 'huh that cant be right but dungeons and dragons is the only d&d i know' LOL. thank you so much for taking the time to explain this to me! I'm actually like on season 1 💀 so far, so good. im most invested in daenerys and ned stark. i know ned dies but whatever sean bean is incredible HAHAH. My older brother has explained to me what went wrong with the show and im already disappointed because so far, its so compelling and attractive and damn )))): poor daenerys T_T my baby girl )))): poor everyone.

i keep getting remotivated to watch game of thrones because of asks like these cause i dont really want to read the books HAHAHAHH. I look forward to seeing Euron when i see him HAHAHAHAH. i hope they treat hotd with more care ):

I've never finished the three thousand ideas I have, yet here I am, thinking I can have some more.

Now I've got this idea that's consuming me. Like, I want to write about the Cross Guild. I wanna write about how they're a freaking poly-couple (admissibly with some dysfunctional traits) and I wanna write about Dracule having canonically red eyes exactly like Imu. Oh, and I wanna write how they're a separate thing, not human, not Celestial Dragons, not Lunarians, just a different thing completely. And I want to write about the most absurd, funny and charming theory of all: Croco-mom. And I wanna write about Sanji being a closeted bisexual and internalized homophobe. And I wanna write about Zoro who's gay and doesn't care about it and doesn't have a problem with it, never mind about saying it, screw it, it doesn't matter and it's unnecessary to become the world's greatest swordsman. And I want to write about Nami being the typical lesbian-gay alliance. And I wanna write about a huge robot and an archaeologist teaching everyone about the fucking meaning of love above and beyond any other idiotic preconceptions. And I want to write about Luffy just being there, living the most prejudice-free, stereotype-free life there can be, truly accepting everything and being a fucking menace to everyone else at the same time cuz he's a slowly imploding sun and is essentially more selfish than others though still being THE GOODNESS in the world. And I wanna write about Kid surviving yet plunged into tragedy and PTSD, with no one else in the world, no more Killer, no more crew, plagued by guilt and disillusionment. And I want to write about Law and Perona just so as background, 'cause I find it aesthetically appealing and personality intriguing. For I want to write about Perona and Dracule as that family of weirdo (in the best sense) Gothic neighbors who adopted a grown-up Marimo at some point. And I wanna write about Jashter who, since I started reading One Piece properly again, came to me as an original character and now I've got it in my mind and I can't get it out.

I want to write, just I'm like ridiculously afraid. I'm always afraid. That's the fate of people who don't have someone to ask if the ideas are ridiculous/stupid/useless or if they might be liked. I've got all this stuff I would like to write and I keep it crowding my head 'cause I'm so scared of fandoms. Ridiculous, isn't it?

The Sandman, Season 1, Episode 4, "A Hope in Hell," First Impressions!

Sometimes, you just get it right the first time.

A Hope in Hell was a major turning point in the original comic's run. Maybe not quite to the level of The Sound of Her Wings, but it still was a major leap forward in blowing the Sandman mythos wide open and showing us just how huge it really was. Previously, there had been hints to the wider world at play, but mostly we had Dream interacting with mortal or his subjects. But here, we get to see him leave both Earth and the Dreaming to interact with some truly strange and bizarre beings, some of which have gone on to become iconic characters in their own right.

So it's only fitting that this is probably the most comic-accurate episode yet, practically word-for-word in a lot of places. Good thing too, as it is just plain awesome, probably my favorite episode yet. They really blew out the budget with this one, bringing to life something that was already visually amazing and repulsive and making it come alive, from the grotesqueness of the Gates of Hell to the massiveness of Lucifer's citadel. We even got the freakin' Suicide Forest, though I understand why they didn't explicitly name it as such, given that suicide is a more touchy subject than it once was, but if you know you know.

We also get it truly get driven home just how important our protagonist is. Like, Dream is a king, and not only a king, but someone to whom even the gods mind their manners around, to whom even Lucifer himself (or themselves I guess, as we're highlighting Angels' sexlessness again) is polite and hospitable toward, even when trying to screw Dream over. Dream has existed since life began, embodying a crucial aspect of existence and taking his duties as such very seriously. As such, he expects the respect and deference due to him as one of the Endless, and will not tolerate insolence. You don't see that in a lot of protagonists, so it's refreshing.

But at the same time, we also got to meet someone who would become just as much of a comic rockstar as he is, one of the few people more powerful than Dream, and who would go on to cause him a great amount of trouble. Lucifer friggin' Morningstar.

I really like this back to basics take on Lucifer. The character has certainly seen a lot of evolution since Preludes and Nocturnes, throughout The Sandman itself to the series by Mike Carey to the tv show. I'm pretty sure it was tempting to pluck that take on Lucifer out and have him interact with Dream. Instead, they wound things back and present them as they were originally: a beautiful, androgynous being who was clearly an Angel, but with a Devil's wings, and one who just radiates menace. Lucifer towers over the already very tall Dream, and everything they do is filled with danger. Though the part of me that lives for stupid fandom drama is really hoping that we get to Season of Mists and someone who has only seen the Lucifer Tv Show gets all upset that The Sandman ripped off Lucifer by having them quit hell to run a nightclub. With Mazikeen, no less! Also, I just wanna see Gwendoline Christie in a suit playing the piano.

And speaking of keeping things comic-accurate, hello there, Nada! Gee, I wonder if she will be important later! Kudos to Ernest Kingsley Junior for nailing Dream's mannerisms as Nada's vision of Dream, further driving home how he changes depending on who is perceiving him.

Also, it drives home for everyone just how much of a petty bitch Dream can be. Like, we've seen it hints of it before, but now if you didn't already know, this guy sent a woman to Hell for ten thousand years just because she offended his pride by refusing his advances. After said advances wiped out her people. So yeah.

There were a few things changed though, such as Lucifer battling Dream instead of Choronzon, which was thematically appropriate, since Lucifer is the one making trouble for Dream later. I was half-expecting Choronzon to be cut entirely, but since he was here, I'm thinking they're saving him in case we do get Season of Mists. The battle itself absolutely kicked ass, though. Like, we got mentions of Dream feeling whatever his opponent shifted to, but actually see the wounds crop up all over him and Lucifer really drove home the stakes at play. And I did feel like Bart's class egging him on to say the line as I waited for Dream to go, "I am hope." RIP.

I do miss the swanky faux-jazz club of the original. Oh well.

Squatterbloat did get a major glow-up and upgrade, as I guess Etrigan wasn't someone they felt like fighting to secure the right to. Understandable, but it would have been really funny for newcomers to start wondering why some demon wearing a 70's superhero outfit showed up. They kept the rhyming though, so that's good.

But majorly, now we have Matthew along, which is a welcome addition, as originally I don't think he showed up until Doll's House. Here, he acts as an audience surrogate, someone for Dream to give exposition to since we no longer have narration, as well as give the appropriate reactions to all the fucked up shit happening around him, as well to just say what we're all thinking when confronted with the Nada thing. Yes, Matthew. Dream did send that woman to Hell. Because he's a petty bitch.

But perhaps the biggest change takes place not in Hell, but on Earth, with John Dee hitching a ride with Rosemary. Here, the part with her giving him a ride to the ruby and them forming something of a connection is the same, but it plays out almost opposite of how it was before. Before, he was a naked weirdo to hijacks her car at gunpoint, leading her to freak out and threaten him, but later calm down, start talking to him, until the two form a strange friendship, making his murder of her all the more shocking. Here, he's not naked (thank goodness), and she volunteers to give him a ride because he seems like some poor, harmless man in need of help, only to grow more and more concerned over the course of their conversation, realizing just how much trouble she was in, and actually try to call the police on him, leading to what happened to that poor gas station attendant. However, despite having more reason than his comic counterpart, given that she broke his cardinal rule of lying, he instead not only spares her, but gives her his amulet of protection. That was interesting, and adds a new wrinkle to an already fascinating take on the character.

Speaking of which, I am VERY much looking forward to the next episode, because if I'm not mistaken, it's time for the diner, which is one of the most viscerally horrifying parts of the whole series! And judging by the responses I've seen from people who've already seen it, that much has stayed true! Fuck me up, Daddy!
