I rewatched Infinite Realms last night and noticed something curious. When Danny meets Frostbite, Frostbite says that Danny is basically the savior of the Ghost Zone because he’s the one who sealed Pariah Dark in the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep. Which is mostly true, Danny definitely did the bulk of the fighting and defeating of Pariah, but if we’re feeling pedantic and technical (and obviously I am, since I’m writing this lol) Danny isn’t the one who actually sealed Pariah in the Sarcophagus.
Vlad is. He’s the one who actually had the key and locked Pariah up.
Which I think the show forgot about because you mean to tell me that Vlad isn’t out there taking credit for that? I don’t believe that for a second lol. Vlad would be taking credit for Pariah’s defeat at every opportunity imo, because he’s Like That(tm).
So anyway Halfa!Jazz AU Vlad has 100% taken credit for Pariah’s defeat and Jazz is totally super not bothered about it (she is incredibly bothered about it) (don’t worry she is also getting credit for the fight since she did most of the heavy lifting, Vlad’s just being annoying about it lol)

People should make more doomed by narratives siblings relationship.
Like with lovers you can just sever it and not have it related to you ever again but with siblings how could you?
You grow up with them you raise them or they raised you you both know how unforgiving the world is to both of you? You would die for them but will hate them for doing the same and yet none of you would regret it and both of you know it. They could be the person you loath the most and miss the most cause you still remember how they sneaked a candy into your hands. You can sever the tie but you can never look away at what you've lost, at whom you've lost because fate doesn't allow you to be together, eating dinners in quiet peace, if only there's another life, another time, where i can make you another plate of pancakes i would im sorry im sorry im sorry —

“When I first heard it, from a dog trainer who knew her behavioral science, it was a stunning moment. I remember where I was standing, what block of Brooklyn’s streets. It was like holding a piece of polished obsidian in the hand, feeling its weight and irreducibility. And its fathomless blackness. Punishment is reinforcing to the punisher. Of course. It fit the science, and it also fit the hidden memories stored in a deeply buried, rusty lockbox inside me. The people who walked down the street arbitrarily compressing their dogs’ tracheas, to which the poor beasts could only submit in uncomprehending misery; the parents who slapped their crying toddlers for the crime of being tired or hungry: These were not aberrantly malevolent villains. They were not doing what they did because they thought it was right, or even because it worked very well. They were simply caught in the same feedback loop in which all behavior is made. Their spasms of delivering small torments relieved their frustration and gave the impression of momentum toward a solution. Most potently, it immediately stopped the behavior. No matter that the effect probably won’t last: the reinforcer—the silence or the cessation of the annoyance—was exquisitely timed. Now. Boy does that feel good.”
— Melissa Holbrook Pierson, The Secret History of Kindness (2015)

shout out to when i told my dad about goncharov and he figured out it was fake because i told him "1973 martin scorsese film with robert de niro" and he said that wasn't possible because the godfather came out in 1972 and the godfather part II came out in 1974 and they wouldn't have had time to make a movie in between. a perfectly good jest, foiled by this man's weird and vast knowledge set
