You know how wendigos can mimic human voices? I just had the horrible thought of salmondean hunting one after Cas' death and the creature baiting Dean with Cas' voice. Sam desperately trying to hold his brother back from running into the woods toward certain death but Dean's blinded by grief and heartbreak, screaming till he's hoarse for Sam to let go, "let me go, let me go, I have to find him, he's out there and I need to save him Sammy. I failed him too many times before, please please please".

Ok but does anyone ever think that Zuko and Aang's scars line up like they've been shot through with Zuko using his body to shield Aang?

Jem the fighter
Tumblr media
“It may be something people forget because Jem is delicate and plays the violin, but he’s a warrior. He fights like hell in all three books. He’s the one who teaches Will to fight”
i know cc meant "fights like hell" both about literal fighting (ie how jem taught will) and also largely jem's fierce will to live, but man it got me thinking about how good a shadowhunter he was. even when he was actively poisoned and dying he could still fight. i mean in clockwork prince in that scene where they scrabble outside yorkshire manor, it’s jem who bests will despite lacking will's build due to his sickness. at age 12 he was a perfect shot with knife throwing. when we see modern jem fighting, he’s always deadly. sometimes i wonder about an alternate world where jem was never ill, and how amazing a fighter he really could be, and how freaking OP jem would've been with cortana. and then i cry quietly. ah

Rewatching DS9 and we were robbed of asexual, aromantic Odo.
It was so well set up! It would have been perfect! He could have explored making friends without all the mushy stuff humanoids keep focusing on, learned to be less lonely without conforming to weird humanoid false standards, discovered friendship and platonic love and not force himself into uncomfortable situations!
Kira and Odo would have been perfect as besties and wouldn’t have lost a single bit of plot or character growth. Odo could have kept grumbling, Kira would just laugh at him, it would have been great!
We were robbed, I tell you. Robbed.

It's cute the way like everyone want to do team with Danny Phantom.
I mean, he is into the Nicktoons Unite team, the secret trio team, with Spiderman, with Batman and the Hartman duo, among others.
Danny Phantom is really great!

I love the way the Awoken and Ahamkara refer to each other at times. "Uldren Queensbrother." "Petra Covensdaughter." "Taranis Rivensmate."
Do you think Sjur had a nickname like that? Do you think Mara ever let her people refer to her in such a way? Do the Earthborn carry on that tradition of connecting one person to another?
Because my heart is just- ❤️‍🩹

I finished Pluto and I keep thinking about the theme of wanting to be rid of negative emotion but negative emotions also being necessary as long as you don't let them overwhelm you.
spoilers
Atom as Tobio is imperfect because he lacks resentment. Robots given the choice to be anything or anyone cannot choose because to become that perfect robot, they need negative traits. Hatred is what finally brings Tenma's perfect robot out of its AI brain fog. Sorrow and hatred over what Sahad has become saves the world in the end.
And of course the positive emotions aren't ignored, and frequently it's the unification of both positive and negative that create the biggest plot points. Like Sahad loves the world, loves nature, etc...so he's able to stop Bora because he wants to die and he wants to save. Gesicht is overcome with the horror and anger at his dismembered child, but also driven by love for that child.
This is also why the robots fail to stop Pluto and only Pluto can stop Bora. None of them have the right balance between positive and negative, not even Gesicht and Atom.
It's very fascinating. Many thoughts. Head full. Still kind of refining this in my brain, but I wanted to jot these thoughts down nonetheless.

Fantasy Castle Thoughts
Wandering around castle ruins on the weekend while thinking about my fantasy WIP had me thinking about more worldbuilding stuff in fantasy (the obvious ones being covered by others, such as, where does the shit go? How do they get water? How do they not poison themselves while answering Qu 1?):
That film where they erased the entire town and the castle was sat there for no reason (meant to be Rochester) - look, even if your castle is a strategic fortress in the back of beyond, it will have some kind of nearby settlement. Because: who is building it and how long does it take and where do they all live while they're constructing it? Where do they go afterwards? How do the garrison get food (easier to grow crops and raise livestock nearby than have vulnerable wagons bringing it in and being ambushed).
A lot of castles were not built by locals, because you can't trust the fucking locals, that's (usually) why the castle is THERE. If you don't need a defensive structure you build a manor or a stately home. If you're building a castle, it's usually to subdue the population or to defend against the neighbours, but either way, what often happens is that the king or whoever will round up people from his patrimony he knows he's already whipped into shape and can trust, then force-marches them across country and re-settles them in the area the castle is meant to be. They are the ones who then farm and raise livestock, and push out the locals to do so. Over time, you get some intermingling and after a few gens it's a very different demographic, but you have a story of settlement going on with tensions bubbling under the surface. See also: William Rufus wanting to subdue the North of England, forcibly uprooting his tenants in the South of England and making them build and settle in Carlisle, where he built his castle (11thC); the Earl of Lincoln dragging a load of Yorkshire and Lancashire and Lincolnshire men to re-settle his newly bestowed North Welsh lordships, pushing the Welsh into the uplands while the settlers took over the lowlands (12th-13thC).
The settlers around castles bring their own forms of folk religion, superstition, folklore, dialect, and naming patterns, which are specific to their original region. These may be very similar to the ones where they've been settled. What does that look like? Is the culture of particular villages and settlements a little bit different or maybe strikingly so the closer you get to the castles in your world because of this? What are the issues faced by settlers and by local people, how do they get resolved (or do they)? You'd imagine settlers are favoured in court disputes, but depending on the politics, they may actually be overlooked in efforts to appease the locals, leading to some lords really upsetting the very people they took for granted that they could trust. What's going on with all this local level stuff? By the way:: 21stC "my religion is better than yours" is so fucking boring and overdone imo from Western fantasy. Not every fantasy people has to have a US Evangelical approach to faith. Maybe they just don't care, or as soon as they hear something new they're like oooh this is interesting let's incorporate that! And they do. And it's fine. And that's a normal attitude to have. That might be a lot more fun, because then you get multiple variations on a theme, which create lots of little layers and nuance to your world, rather than a very one-dimensional impression of "homogeneity" with the danger of slipping into ye olde "X Bad, Y Good" dichotomy.
Technology and adapting tech: building castles requires tech, and once you know how long something took to build, you know what the tech was and can work out how it may have developed since then. Also think about how it can be adapted. If you've got a world where castles are required because fighting happens, you have a world full of disabled people. War causes disability. Even tournaments were EXCEEDINGLY dangerous. Henry VIII got permanent brain damage at one. Other knights were left paralysed, many died, some were amputees as a result. People get their legs hacked off due to gangrene from wounds. People get arrows lodged in their spines. People get sick from malnutrition and develop conditions like osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, etc. Picture this: your lord gets severely injured and may never walk again just by falling from his horse (common). Unfortunately, the castle steps are DESIGNED to be difficult to get up and down, because it's a defensive structure, and you DO NOT want to make it easy for enemies to just stroll up to the upper levels which are the most defensible. Bear in mind that the majority of a castle is empty space: the ward. The domestic quarters are built into the walls, usually the inner walls of a concentric castle. Your lord had an upper floor room. In a castle, space is at a premium. You need all the space on the ground floor and it's already occupied. What do you do? Well - you remember that pulley system for heaving big tons of dressed stone up to the top of the scaffolding when constructing the tower? Yeah. Yeah you're going to use that. And if your lord is now permanently disabled and cannot use the stairs, you can work out how to refine that. But right now, you need to get him into bed so the physician can look him over, because if he dies right now this would be terribly politically inconvenient . Even if this hasn't happened in your current story right now, if this was the case for the lord or two BEFORE, the equipment may all still be there, and still be in place.
Anyway if you like this, you might like my newsletter and podcast, and the books I write.

Be the person who creates something that would have changed your life. You never know whose life you could save.
✧˚ ༘ ⋆。˚✐﹏﹏﹏﹏˚。⋆ ༘ ˚✧
I know it's easy to forget, but we still live in a world where serious stigma surrounding mental health exists.
As creators, we have been blessed with the opportunity to help diminish that stigma.
It is so important to create characters and stories that represent these problems because they exist. These are real people with real struggles, and they deserve to see themselves in media.
