lan wangji and lan sizhui's relationship isn't discussed enough!
a-yuan was the reason lan wangji lived and i will stand by it as long as i have to.
i'm not talking about living in a physical sense. he would've done so being the light bearer he is, but the peerless hanguang-jun lost his light the second he knew wei wuxian breathed his last.
hanguang-jun was just that, a light bearer, not the source of it. he was the moon that depended on the sun to provide it to the people, but he already lost his sun.
he probably would've gotten sucked into the black hole that was left behind after his star died that he did not realize there was another sun right beside it until he heard the faint cries of a child.
a-yuan. (he was the sun that the last of qishan wen couldn't even hope to be.)
it's the ways in which lan wangji and sizhui's interactions are so subtly domestic that melts my heart completely.
the relationship they share that of a guardian-ward, of a father-son.
the way sizhui (along with jingyi and a few other lan juniors) scream 'hanguang-jun!' and are able to smile while being held hostage really says a lot about both the trust they have in him and how safe they feel around him.
sizhui saying that feels as if he has nothing to fear or worry about, so long as lan wangji or wei wuxian were around. the bone deep trust that he has that he will be safe if he's around either of them even if he was in the middle of a literal death trap had me pause for a few seconds to let myself bawl out.
it's in the way sizhui so willingly and so enthusiastically interacts with lan wangji while everyone around him (except a few of the lan juniors) are scared witless to even breathe the same air as him. even the lan juniors don't seem to have the ease that sizhui has. (okay, this may probably be me over reading into it, but i really did feel that way while reading.)
and, my favorite interaction, sizhui encountering that lan wangji buried a-yuan in a pile of rabbits will never ever make me stop smiling like an idiot.
they have one of the healthiest parent-child relationship i've seen and i so, so long for it.
it's as surprising as it is devastating how less they're talked about. a crime really.

Do you think it sometimes keeps Bones awake at night to know that he held in his hands a device that turned out to be capable of thought-based healing, which could bring someone back from fatal injuries unfixable by modern medicine, and they just gave it back to the Vians and left? That the knowledge of such perfect, instant healing makes his most advanced techniques seem no better than the cutting and sewing of people like garments?
Do you think he goes to Spock one night, asking if Spock can remember *anything* about that device with those mathematically perfect brainwaves of his, positing that if Spock was able to adjust the device to work for their thought patterns, perhaps he could puzzle out the construction of the device itself? So that Bones could simply think a healing thought, and will a body whole?
That Spock has to admit that, though he was able to modify the device, despite his best efforts he has no real idea how it worked in the first place. That, though regret is illogical, wonder at the possibilities of the universe is not...
...but that, privately, he cannot discern whether it is wonder or regret that keeps him up at night?
Do you think they share a cup of tea in quiet contemplation before Bones says that he wishes they could go back to Sigma Draconis VI so he could wear the Teacher just one more time; no matter what it would do to his brain, without the threat of medical urgency with Spock's impending death this time, perhaps he could at least write down the knowledge before the end?
And, maybe, Spock pauses, and thinks about both of these times where Bones hadn't hesitated even a second to save Spock's life at the expense of his own --
-- and says to him, impossibly gently, "But, then, who will think the healing thoughts, Doctor?"
And they finish their tea, go their separate ways, and sleep through the night.

Did I spend all day thinking about Tav'leatea my archfey who I am writing a big fic for while playing BG3? YES! Did I then turn around and make Ilya Arendae my current Knight Commander from WOTR? Also yes!

The weird half shattered glass earthspark au
Elita and Megatron have equal power in their faction and responsibilities are divided pretty evenly, Starscream as their second in command is the one who makes sure everything runs smoothly and Soundwave makes sure all communication is clear, these decepticons are very organized
Optimus is a train wreck, he's got bits of Memories and he doesn't know why but he knows his goal is to destroy the decepticons. He's got a lot of stiff like that he knows he knows something but he doesn't know why and he struggles to think about some of those things too much. He's very conflicted and he's not sure why. It is very much a forced delusion. He doesn't know how to treat bots because the council never though he'd have to interact with bots outside of fighting because he'd be under their order, of course that doesn't work out. So Optimus has a very weird relationship with all of his autobots, they fear him they respect him they hate him but their scared to leave. It's a very strange conflict.
So yes the process of Orion becoming Optimus took a long time because the council originally wanted to use Megatron but what they couldn't get their servos on him they decided that Orion was the next best choice. Elita and Megs were very panicked during that point in time, Starscream was sending out search parties while Elita and Megatron comforted eachother
Oooo interesting interesting a set up I always enjoy in a faction
So SG Oppy here is absolutely fucking going through it, he is firmly not in sane territory and being around the autobots cannot be good for that. He's ruling the autobots with one hell of an iron fist and itchy trigger finger, plus. I mean. Considering the SG autobots.
Oooo so they were going for Megatron, but they decided fuck it they've already got Ori they should roll with what they've got for their bullshit
Ohh Meggsie Lita...

Hi! I can't stop thinking... Why so many people insist that Will doesn't have / can't have powers, only the connection with Henry-the Mind Flayer? Some of them are so sure, they even make fun of who thinks that Will with some sort of powers could be the plot twist that changes the way we see the whole story.... I think that would be awesome, not ridiculous.
Many milvan fans think that, and Henry's stans too. But what's the problem? Character in a sci-fi show about superpowers has powers. Wow. Unbelivable.
Don't get me wrong, we all have our own biases (a lot of toxic milkvans vehemently deny the possibility of Will having powers, for obvious reasons), but what I think it really comes down to the original intention of the Duffers in terms of Will what they always had planned for him.
A lot of fans think that certain concepts being explored would just be flat out bad, assuming those concepts come out of nowhere, and/or in a way that feels like we've been cheated.
For example, a lot of fans feel strongly about not wanting the show to ever involve time travel at any point, with most fans agreeing on this to a large extent, arguing that it would feel like a cheap reset, changing our entire understanding of the overall show.
You could also make the argument that a lot of Redditors feel this way about the possibility of byler whenever it's brought up genuinely, where they say it's not possible because there weren't enough signs to support it and so if byler did happen, it would ruin the show.
The main problem with this, is that we're assuming that the story hasn't already hinted about these things, with the intention to explore them from the moment they hinted at them.
Like when it comes to time travel, we have a main character that goes missing who is literally dressed like Marty McFly from Back to the Future, which was a film also referenced a lot in s3. Not only that, but time itself has been referenced A LOT since the very beginning. And we even have the upside down stuck on the very moment Will went missing on Nov 6th 1983 (in his Marty McFly fit). And so yes we can have our doubts about it being as good as we hope based on other media and how they've all depicted time travel, but to say it wouldn't be fitting or it would be coming out of nowhere would be naive.
And same with byler. There are definitely signs, it's a matter of being willing to acknowledge them, actual view them and think about them each individually and all together (assuming you are willing to do that). If you're willing to do that then it suddenly is an undeniable obvious direction that the show is going. And yet there are plenty of people out there that will never see it that way, until it's spelled out to them with everything being explained.
I think what it all comes down to is the show itself having hints over the seasons, with it being apart of the Duffers original plan from the beginning, to some extent.
No matter what, even if I don't like a choice they make about a certain concept, I don't know if I could critique them that much about it if it was actually intentionally put there from the beginning? Like props to them, I'm not gonna be mad if at the very least, it fits? That would be my main concern, that it came out of nowhere with no signs. But I doubt that's going to be the case for the surprises we have in store for the final season, TBH I think all of them will have been foreshadowed at some point.
And that also goes for Will having powers. I can see why fans might be against it, because they are choosing to imagine that it would go down in the most unsatisfying way possible. And they're also choosing to not look deeper at things that clearly hint at it over the seasons, all because of a bias based on whatever they feel that's stopping them from that, big or small.
Personally, I'm a twelvegate truther at the moment, and so I have my own thoughts when it comes to the likelihood of Will having powers in some capacity (yes). And I genuinely came to that conclusion based on hints in the details since the first episode.
People need to realize, the Duffers want more than anything for the show to have rewatch value forever and ever. And by making all these hints really subtle in the details from the very beginning, only to be revealed at the end, they are not only shocking the people experiencing it in real time, but they're also setting it up in a way that makes it even more satisfying for future generations. Not only is rewatch value being considered, because I would argue that's the most important, but also think about all the people that will hear about ST in the upcoming years, knowing how it ended because it was spoiled to them in passing. Those kind of viewers would immensely enjoy those details about time travel or byler or Will having powers, stretching all the way to the beginning.
Right now so many people brush off the details as unimportant, and we're able to do this freely because we still don't have all the answers yet. That's fair for now. But when we do get all the answers in the end, people will have everything in front of them waiting to be confronted, it'll just be a matter of everyones willingness to accept it as reality at that point, even if it's not what we might have thought we wanted based on what we were/weren't willing to see.

You’re not going to vibe with everyone you meet in life. As long as we respect each other we don’t have to be friends nor enemies. We can still care and wish the best for the other.

SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN
Sometimes my feelings for you are somewhere in between 
Sometimes I’m living, sometimes I’m dying
Either way, an emotionally repressed girl like me has to restrain from crying 
God, the way I talk about my crush on you makes me feel like I’m still thirteen 
It’s an embarrassing feeling, I’m not going to lie
Each time the feeling comes, I quickly force it to die 
It comes at the worst time 
Honestly, feelings like this should be a crime 
I won't be cheesy and say you're my whole world 
Because you're not, you're saving that place for some other lucky girl 
Besides, there's a distance between us 
Built entirely by me because it's a must 
I wish I knew how close I am to your heart 
Most likely I'm a far flung dart 
No precision, no accuracy, 
Not that your heart has a vacancy 
You told me you're picky when you choose a girl 
I find myself wondering what your standards are
Is there a scroll for me to unfurl? 
To what degree do your standards go? Out of this world? 
If this seems contradictory, that's because it is
There's a reason I hide it all within 
Feelings are a complex machine
Especially when you're just a dream 
I'm somewhere in between loving you and not
The good thing is that this proves I'm not a robot
I wish everything could be clearer 
And that you would hold me dearer

And sometimes, on days like this, I stand up and say I want to burn the world down.
Here’s the thing about being a high-school has-been with friends that you would melt these gilded halls for: sometimes you tell no one and everyone at the same time by the way you walk and because of things that have occurred between the four cream coloured walls of your living room on valentine’s, shaking hands and dark circles feel more like handbag accessories, sold separately, than symptoms of unimaginable stress and anxiety. 
From all of this, I look pretty sad and stressed so you wouldn’t think that I was mostly angry, would you? 
My mom laughed after I flinched back from her hug, my friends are all breaking too, my hands are overrun (bones shaking and crackling at the slightest sense of stress), have I mentioned that I wanted to burn down this school? The green threads in the corner of my vision are snapping and breaking and sometimes I feel more like I’m faking that failing (you’re good at keeping it together, aren’t you?)-
It feels like I’m living in an apocalypse, so I’m doing what I do best, live blogging my chains and bolts and pains so that they act as a precursor of future events (I prefer to think that one day, I’ll have written it all out and feel more alive and less burdened than when this began). At the end of the day, however, it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t fight tooth and nail to give someone hope. 
So this blog is half battle, half prose, but all hope. 
And this will be the last sad post I ever write (without a resolution, it’s no point pretending life is black and white, and that my eyes won’t be coloured red in a while), because if the world burns around me, I want the pain of the blaze to be overshadowed by the beauty of a dying fire instead.
I will continue on. And so will you. And so will all of us. 
(And I will try to do what I wanted to at 13: Save you. Save me. Save us. One day I will wake up and the taste of blood in my mouth will be but a distant memory. One day you will wake up and the sadness will feel more like a dull, ancient, ache than an ever-present stabbing blade. One day we will wake up, and the world will not be the same.)

More trans stuff: you know how they say one of the things about trans is that we like to imagine ourselves as the gender we were born into, which sometimes manifests as drawings?
Well... I've been drawing the same genderless mermaid-alien species for like 10 years :P I also have dreams about them. And then draw the dream. (I'll find them so I can show you.)
Could be I'm not the strict definition of trans cuz i think my ideal form is Without Genitalia. No chest...appendages, no bottom appendage, just. Flat.
