GUYSSSS what if ron isnt in heaven but in purgatory and hes just ... completely misunderstood it . "i am in heaven and the business prospects are dire. everybody seems to want everything for free!" YALL ???? THAT SOUNDS SO ODD???? i personally think he is definitely just talking symbolically and hes just happy that, wherever he is, he is happy there and likes it. OR. it could be that he is actually dead, and that hes actually somewhere else (because someone in hell has said that since the hell system changed so much, they really didnt know what happened after death, but they didnt think heaven existed) AND i think we got pretty good confirmation that heaven didnt necessarily exist in this show, but nobody said anything about purgatory...

yall. "business prospects are dire, everybody keeps asking for free things" sounds a loot like a business persons purgatory for me yknow? and if theres something we know ron will do, its completely misunderstand a situation he is in (miss you king fly high if you Are dead).

also im 1000% sure that the reason ron was talking about time was because hes in another plane, maybe one we havent even seen, and the time dilation is so weird that THATs why the messages werent going through thank you for listening to my pepe sylvia moment

Morph as Quicksilver in X-Men '97 S01E07 - Bright Eyes

#MY BOYYYYYYY #OH HOW IVE MISSED YOUR FACE #and he isnt pasty like in episode 4 #it might just be the lighting but its better than before #if marvel weren't cowards he'd be more brown #dreading seeing how they dog wanda if she turns up #anyway morph is against whitewashing #THANK YOU MORPH #forever cementing yourself as my favourite lil bean #and the audacity to do this in the same ep as mags but not have erik even perceive the image of his son? HELLO????#quicksilver #morph #pietro maximoff #x men 97 #x men 97 spoilers #marvel #screenshots

hm ok so for a while i was thinking that Wally, for the most part, only perceives reality as "Home", the neighborhood. that's his entire world, it's all he knows

but then i slapped myself and went wait. the Live Interview. Wally has been outside of Home, and has interacted with humans (presuming that the interview did actually happen, of course). and through Wally's interactions - or rather, attempt at interactions with Us, the QA, and the WHRP, it can be strongly assumed that he knows that there's an Elsewhere. there are places outside of Home. maybe he doesn't quite understand that there's another reality of sorts, but there's no way he's unaware that there's more than just the neighborhood out there

(and then of course there's the fact that Clown has said that humans are deeply involved (not a direct quote, im paraphrasing) in Welcome Home. maybe Wally interacted with them / regularly interacted with them. there could have been an adjustment period after he gained consciousness where humans helped him learn how to walk/talk/fine motor skills - this could be why he has such a seemingly inherent / desperate trust in Us & the WHRP & the QA... humans made him and cared for him. it's possible he could view them as a sort of higher power to trust & have faith in

& maybe he's been off-set or could go off-set. i mean, the houses' rooms were all different sets - the buildings themselves were empty husks, right? who's to say Wally wouldn't physically walk to the individual set pieces whenever he went over to someone's house (but then that leads me into speculation on how the puppets' consciousness works and how multiple copies of them could co-exist and wondering which is the - im getting off track. but there's all of that and then the two part "you're okay!" art pieces of Wally & Eddie, which are technically canon - dont quote me on that - and that's Another ramble/theory post i could go on about & have strong feelings on. Anyway!)

"but wait," i hear someone protest, "what about Barnaby? he was in the Live Interview too"

but was he? was he really? was that Barnaby, or was that a person in a suit playing the character Barnaby B. Beagle? i mean, if it was Barnaby, there had to be some memory fuckery going on that prevented him from either fully comprehending/realizing the situation, or just made him forget as soon as it was over.

and actually wait, Wally has to be aware of the reality discrepancy. because it was certainly him in the Interview as himself. He had to have understood on some level that either that wasn't really Barnaby, or that Barnaby wouldn't remember the interview.

(there's a connection in my head between all of this & how he would view an apple pie. "it isn't the same anymore. something's different". but i can't pin it down for the life of me.)

and with the Talking Telephone calls, Wally explicitly tells Us that he's not going to tell anyone who was behind the calls. i remember listening to the "original" prank call audio tests, which while were very similar to the canon in-website ones, have a few changes. one of which was Wally - in the tests - saying that the others weren't ready to meet Us yet. now in canon that tidbit has been swapped out for "You have to go too. You have work to do" but i think it's still implied through Wally's purposeful withholding-of-information that he doesn't think the others are ready to know. or he straight up doesn't want them to know

i mean, one little theory i previously had is that Wally wants them all to catch on to the nature of their reality and situation, but he doesn't want to - or Can't - tell them outright. they have to figure it out. and that can't was either something keeping him quiet, or because if they learned too soon / inorganically, their little puppet heads would pop into confetti like Red Guy's in dhmis 4

However my views have Changed and i'm pretty sure Wally is purposefully not telling anyone to maintain the illusion that everything is fine and can continue on as it always has. maybe it comes from a place of protectiveness, of love? whatever the motive i think he wants them all to keep being unaware and dare i say, Complacent while he "fixes" their situation.

which is delusional, but we all know Wally is digging his metaphorical claws into a desperate bid to keep everything the same / return it to its original state, leaving bloody scratches in something already rotted. or something like that!

all this to say i think it's interesting how it seems that he's the only one aware of humans / an outside/other world, yet he's so determined to stay in his lane. he wants connection & communication yet he doesn't want to leave or change. he wants help in keeping things the same (some could say in keeping Our reality & his separated) but in the process he's dooming everyone/everything and tearing down those walls himself

(Wally: i'm going to stay where i am, and you're gonna stay where you are, and we're gonna help each other keep me and my friends where we're meant to be. anyway i wonder what this sledgehammer does)

#this is a very disjointed ramble but when are they ever put together!#i have to start at point a to get to point 36 yk yk #trying to write down my thoughts is like trying to keep a firm grip on a lubed up ferret #SOAPED!!! SOAPED UP!!! I MEANT SOAP yk that doesnt make it any better. anyway moving on dont look at me #its. its. the more i think about wally the more i go insane #like he's got neurosis stacked on neurosis stacked on-#there is something soooo wrong with him <3 #homebogging #welcome home speculation #wh speculation #i do think his heart is in the right place. i do think he's trying to achieve something he thinks is good & best for everyone #but... despite being aware of more than his friends... technically knowing more Truth than them #he's more trapped by that knowledge. he's ruled by it. and he doesn't really have the -#i dont want to say capacity bc i have to believe that he Can change. he just doesnt know how / currently doesnt want to / is too scared to #but he doesn't have the freedom the others have. bc in their ignorance they can ignore their confines #in a way they're more real than wally despite living in a fabricated world as fabricated people with fabricated lives #they're authentic in their ignorance #and ive said it before and ill say it again - wally was created as a blank slate while everyone else already had a Foundation #no matter how false their memories are they Have them. they have the tools to change and want change #they already perceive themselves as more than what they were made for. they think they're People (not humans - people) dont they?#so if they learn theyre trapped... they'll want out. meanwhile wally is already stuck bc while they have - in a way - More #the neighborhood & the show are all wally has. he knows there's outside but he doesnt have any reason to Want that outside #bc why would he want to leave home? why would he want anything to change? it's his sole purpose isnt it?#idk i just think wally would benefit from being told 'you dont need a purpose / you dont need to adhere to a purpose / you are enough as Yo #doing what You want. you can just Be'#but yk. what was i talking about again #oh yeah - wally is so so aware and yet so in the dark #he's got one half of the puzzle but they're all corner/edge pieces and he's trying to fill the inside space with Nothing #hm. i wonder if he'll end up needing the other neighbors to help finish the puzzle... who's to say who's to say!!#FUCK YOU TUMBLR I HAD MORE TO SAY. CUT OFF AGAIN AGH

more from the reverse gondolin au

#silm #silmarillion #reverse gondolin au #idril #lomion #celebrimbor #lomion is so fun to draw #featuring celebrimbor with his weird himlad hairstyle #realized i forgot to color his mouth oh well #they made the Three ahead of schedule and single handedly fixed the entire feanorian-nolofinwean feud #thinking abt idrils house of the mole being more focused on protection compared to maeglins mole #if the fall comes (bc aredhel is not quite as cautious as turgon) idril and the house of the mole already have escape and backup escape pla #and reinforced fallback points inside the city when the wall is breached #growing up w eol and foresight means idril always has plans and backup plans and alternate plans and contingencies for those plans too #meanwhile lomion is well equipped with nenya to counter balrogs & fire drakes #idril is the sort of person who hardens inward to defend herself & her family #maeglin hardens outward to preemptively counter perceived threats #despite having an exponentially better late-childhood than maeglin #lomion is still very much traumatized from being orphaned at the Lammoth.#he probably freaks out when rog (his mentor/father figure) leads the hammer of wrath at the gates.#when their positions are switched lomion bonds better with the rest of gondolin #and either never gets nabbed by morgoth or gets promptly rescued on his way to angband.#idril plans for the worst because growing up in nan elmoth #the situation usually ended up being the worst she could predict #so morgoth doesnt have the extra intel #lomion has friends and one of the Three #and idril has an even better prepared version of the Secret Way #and hey maybe gondolin does end up surviving

mindhunter: we're going to make it super clear that Bill's son is autistic but because this is set in the 70s they don't know what autism is so they just think he acts strange for no reason and because Bill works hunting serial killers, when his son reacts strangely to a murder he starts getting worried he might grow up to be dangerous. Also we'll make our main character autistic coded and have him an scene with the kid where they're both super comfortable to further emphasize how they get each other.

stupid ass people writing tv reviews: omg what if this child grows up to be a serial killer.... he doesn't talk and he doesn't do facial expressions and he looks creepy :/

also stupid people: What if Holden turns out to be a serial killer... He just does his job TOO well and he's just weird idk

#mindhunter #i don't give a fuck if the writers were considering the bill's son thing as a possibility it's still so lazy and dumb to go with that #interpretation #it's also. I find it interesting that a lot of people who didn't like holden perceive him as being high on himself when i don't think he is #that much. but that happened to me where I was just doing my thing and wanting my space and people were like YOU ACT LIKE YOU THINK YOU'RE #BETTER THAN OTHER PEOPLE #delete later

this is so Maven omg like

#everything he did was compared to Cal and even if he excelled in something it was always overshadowed by Cal’s achievements #he loved Cal more than anyone but he also hated him more than anyone #he wanted to badly to be better than him #to have something over him #He was smarter than Cal academically and he was still over shadowed #he got the throne and even with his allie’s it was clear that the majority were only with him due to their disagreement with Cal’s alliance #with the Guard #He ‘got’ Mare first and she still chose Cal in the end #everything he did was partially in an effort to be better than his older brother because for so long he was seen as worse #i’m just rambling #Maven’s deep love and resentment for Cal is so interesting because he can’t help but hate him #but at the same time Cal was the only person in his life who consistently showed him nothing but love #and even then all of his efforts to be ‘better’ than Cal he was still perceived as worse or as the last resort #Maven has multiple clear opportunities to kill Cal and yet everytime they either fail or he just can’t #these brothers man wtf #red queen #red queen series #maven calore #cal calore

Does anyone else ever think about how WC!Scott canonically brought Mertha back to life and there was a bit of hand waving like “Eeuuhh she was a goat that’s not to difficult” but really she was a human soul trapped in a goat’s body, so Scott could bring back a human soul by like, the middle of the trials, so he might have already been powerful enough to bring back Milo by that point or soon after, without having to go full Lich and do all the horrible things that ritual entails, but by that point he had convinced himself so thoroughly that the only way to achieve his goal was by becoming the Supreme Witch that it didn’t even cross his mind to try?

#something something a perceived solution to a goal becoming something we cling to #so hard that we keep ourselves from seeing any and all other solutions #even if they might be much easier and objectively better #something something clinging so desperatley to a possible solution or an all-consuming goal that reaching for the solution becomes #almost more important than achieving the original goal #becoming a lich is NOT A PRETTY PROCESS YALL #it involves doing a lot of bad stuff #that protagonists we are supposed to like generally avoid #like intentionally killing innocents #and surviving from the energy of their souls #generally things that should be avoided #i quite enjoy the angst of wc!scott getting moral whiplash from all the stuff he did after coming out of lichdom #and trying tp learn to live with all THAT #and the knowledge of what he was willing to do #possibly while under the influence of magical corruption #or maybe not #witchcraft smp #scott smajor #witchcraft scott #dragon brambles #wc!scott

I'm not gonna screenshot it bc 1/it really doesn't matter that much and 2/the person who made the comment is a kid but: a while ago I made a comic that's supposed to be a genuine study and reinterpretation of someone else's sprite comic (made in the spirit of authenticity too - to recreate the vibes of the sprite comics from that era, iirc very specifically because it's funny) and I got a comment on that comic's post that's like "glow up"

which is a compliment obvs. and the commenter probably didn't mean anything by it, it's a common expression. but I've been trying to find a way to gracefully put that comment away ever since it appeared lol

I just very much don't want my art to be taken as trying to one-up someone else's art when that's not the piece's intention. especially when the piece that inspired my art is perceived as "low effort" or "shitpost" or stuff like that. I did mention in the tags of that post that my considering it a study is entirely genuine, and I can legitimately write pages about the cool stuff I find in it other than and inherent in the haha funneys, but that's not for you guys that's for me. I just think that approaching art competition-first like that is a miserable way to do it, and (tipping into overthinking here if the whole tiny-comment-got-stuck-in-my-brain-for-almost-a-month part hasn't given that away yet lol) I really don't want that to be the takeaway from my own art. at least generally. if I actually think the source material is trash and what I'm doing is genuinely categorically better I'd just come out and say it lmao

#bakuspeech #yeah it's the darkhog sprite comic #honestly I don't love comments that put my art and other artists' art in a hierarchy in general. wherever my art lands on that scale #especially when it comes to character writing and trans 'representation'#which like. idk man I'm writing One character. he's NOT gonna be The Trans Experience. he's gonna be one character.#but yeah I'd guess I'm writing it all out in a post bc it's not really a race that anyone opts in #I don't actively participate but by virtue of how my art is perceived I just end up on the scale anyway #so uh. I'm suggesting that we do not bring the scale into my house at all lmao #there's also the like. Don't Yuck My Yum guideline of looking at art that's like #I like the things I'm aping! most of the times! if I don't say it's shit and I'm drawing stuff from it usually that means I like it lol #and then you kinda come in like wow what you're doing here is better than the thing you like. and it's not like yknow.#really anything. it's extremely trivial comparatively. but you are in fact yucking my yum there #tldr please try not to think abt art u like vs art u don't as ''better'' or ''worse'' and #have grace for the things that don't please u personally. anyways I'm omw to finishing the frog now. just need to fell all the seams down #and put that boy in da spinner for a ride. and then it can live in a gift bag until the day #I really enjoy holding it actually... maybe after this one I'll make something else. tbh slick stretchy fabrics are superior to fuzzy fabri #doesn't pill And cooler to touch. stuffed toys for the subtropical population #I'll get a combilation of pics once the thing's at its new home. but for now. we must finish the job

the other fundamental flaw with alec goes to winslow is the assumption that alec could be even remotely cool about having to attend school and then having Children From Normal Society attempt to interact with him or god forbid hold any level of social authority over him. and that's not even talking about the teachers. he would snap so fast he'd think he was entirely calm but he would not make it through lunch without surreptitiously tripping anyone and everyone who annoyed him. like he would hear people talking about going to see a movie with their family that weekend or deciding to get ice cream together after school and it would turn him into the joker. he would find the emmas of the world funny for all of three seconds but one too many incidents of someone shoving him in the hall and he would reflexively trip them into the nearest locker (no power needed), slam their head in the door, say "whoops," really sarcastically, and then say "whoops" significantly more genuinely when he realizes they're bleeding profusely. That Boy Is Not Half As Chill As He Thinks He Is

#he can swallow his pride i'm exaggerating because i think it's funny. that said #he is primarily good at swallowing his pride when there's a prize at the other end of the rope #i.e 'not dying' or 'being a successful villain'#putting him in the environment of being surrounded by Extremely Normal Children who don't Appreciate What They Have + Think They're Better #Than Him #Where He Is Expected To Obey Bullshit Authority #would be like putting him in a pressure cooker #it'd be a slow snap but he Would have a joker moment eventually #'think theyre better than him' can be perceived or real btw

unfortunately i have become consumed by the urge to make the main romance of one of my stories soooo much more toxic. originally the small one was a power hungry little ball of rage and the big one was a more reasonable moderating force but tbh thats kind of boring and i need them to enable each other in the worst way possible to the detriment of everyone around them. okay bye

#it also makes it even better when the small one crosses a line the other doesn't approve #and the small one loses it thinking the big one betrayed him and i thought you understood me and how could you etc etc.#during his power trip descent into madness (trademark)#like he just completely misjudged how in it the other was #and now he has to sit there and be like of god what's wrong with me #the answer being he's an overachiever that is desperate to take any scrap of power or recognition he can get #to balance the scales of this perceived debt he owes his dead family line for being the only one that's left when there were so many #who he feels deserved to live more than him or could have done all this better than him

do you ever just sit there thinking about your favorite ocs while violently shaking. god. clenches fist. They're So.
