#this is all nonsense rambling

[spacegirlspiffy]

With the resurgence of the AFTG series I wanted to share my thoughts on it.

I know I'm in the minority on this, but I find comfort in that Neil and Andrew don't have the typical happily ever after. They heal and find happiness, but their traumas don't get washed away by it. They still carry the weight of their pasts and it still impacts them.

They get happily better after but not happily ever after.

As someone who will always struggle with trauma, it feels a little less lonely to have that acknowledged. Some of us never fully heal, some of us find contentment where we can but never achieve the stereotypical "happy ending". And I don't think it lessens or cheapens that happiness. It's hard won even if it's not what most people expect.

AFTG has always been near and dear to my heart. And a huge part of it is that it gives me hope. That I don't have to achieve perfect healing or happiness to enjoy pockets of it.

Our Strengths

"What do we do now? Tucker asked. His voice cracking with stress and worry as he stared at the scene before him not able to look away as his best friend and his family were being dragged out of their home.

Danny cuffed in anti-ghost cuffs and knocked the heck out with a ecto-gun pointed at his skull by one of the GIW agents, they eventually tossed Danny into their van that was parked right outside the Fenton Works. Jazz was pleading, begging them to let her brother go, even though she too was cuffed and not caring that another gun was at her back. Maddie was hissing like angry feral mama cat at the two agents, ignoring the other two that were holding her shoulders to keep her from squirming around and saying "you dare touch a single hair on my babies I will rip-" before she too was lead away to the GIW van. The last to come out was Jack and he looked haunted and stressed, and despite being a huge guy he was trying to make himself look small. He too was sent into the van, and one of the last things Tucker could see before the doors close was Jack kneeling down next to Danny and going to cradle him but being stopped by the GIW agent in the van.

Sam chewed on her lip, her eyes wide and wild as she tried to think of... well anything to save her friend and his family from this.

To think Vlad would be so petty after Danny finally told his parents about being Phantom and them accepting and loving him regardless and even apologizing for trying to hurt him that he would go and tattle to the GIW about Phantom.

Danny hadn't even told them about Vlad being a halfa either. Not even a bit. All Danny told them was that Vlad made him super uncomfortable. About how the guy seemed obsessed with his mom but seemed to be shifting his obsession to him.

And for once Jack listened, especially after Maddie finally told him the times the man flirted with her and had even tried getting her to leave Jack. With only Danny. No mention of Jazz, only Danny.

After that Jack turned papa bear mode.

Say what you will about Jack Fenton but his love for his family outweighs any kind of friendship.

So yeah Vlad finding himself being 'cut out' of the Fenton's lives, realizing the only times he could even get close to Maddie and Danny was because Jack was always welcoming to him, and finding out Jack point blank said he no longer wanted him around his family, he raged and decided to get back at Danny was to go tell the GIW about him being Phantom.

No doubt the creep was going to show up later, 'save' them and start making demands or indebt them to him.

And now here they were. The Fenton's, after being told about Phantom, were being unjustified hauled away by the GIW while all of Amity watches from the streets and despite the protest from, mostly teens, Amity Parkers no one could do anything with both weapons pointed at them or the 'law' decree.

Closing her eyes, Sam took a breath. When she opened them back up she finally looked away as the van and the rest of the GIW began to leave, her hands clutched so tight that her knuckles were turning a deadly white. When she finally released her grip she felt something in her hand.

Confused, Sam opened her hand and gasped as she recognized a familiarish green sticky note and words written in purple ink. She's never read any of the sticky notes CW would send Danny but she has seen them appear out of no where.

She read the note, ignoring Tuckers questioning, and once done she snapped her head to look at him. It was so fast that Tucker jumped for a second. Her eyes were alight with a new found kindle of hope, determination, and a plan.

"Sam? What is it?" Tucker finally asked once more, he had a feeling whatever she had in mind was going to be insane but if it sent by CW and meant to save his best friend he'd do it.

"We play into our strengths and get some help." She said as she brought the sticky note up for him to see.

"Help? From who?" Tucker asked as he took the note and instantly noticed the drawn symbols on the bottom. When he snapped his head back up to look at Sam his mouth fell open and he said in shock, awe, and disbelief "No. No way. Them? But I thought-"

"Gonna stop you right there Tucker. Remember what Dani told us last month? About that new under the radar teen hero group?" Sam cut in.

"OOoooh. Them.... Yeah I can totally get behind asking them over asking the adults." Tucker responded, his mind coming up with a plan as the sticky note words played into his head 'Use your strengths'

"Good we have no time to loose. I'll contact Dani to find out where we can find their base, you get ready to hack and find what you can so I can use it to help... persuade them into helping us."

Young Justice was having a normal, well as normal as a bunch of super-powered and very well trained teens could have day.

Or at least it was until their comms and entire system were hacked by an unknown hacker, a goth girl appearing on their main sceen and her saying this

"Hey, Young Justice right? Look I'll be blunt about this. We need help, our best friend and his family got taken by some shady government jerks that wanna experiment on him and we need to save them. It's a long story. However, we do not like the JL too much and don't trust them, we have our reasons, so to make sure you don't go crying to them, we're taking your systems hostage and blackmailing you with things our hacker found out." Her eyes narrowed at them, her face in a scowl and it left no room for negotiations at all, she was determined to get things her way "So that's the deal. Help us save our best friend and his family while not letting the JL know, and we let go of your systems and forget about what we found out."

This stupid event making me feel things while also being wayyy too cheesy and over the top. Ah there were some absolute gems though. Screenshots below the cut because spoilers.

Okay I just can’t with some of these idiots.

MC being the one to bring Satan home after he gets angry and runs away 😭

Diavolo always having to be in Prince mode except when he’s with MC 😭

Bonus because MC asks him if he thought Barbatos noticed when he snuck away with MC. I just think it’s cute that he’s so delusional 🥹

MC being the only one who sees this guy’s struggle (or who he allows to see it) 😭

NOOOOOO MY HEART. MC reminding Solomon of his humanity I’m unwell 😭😭

And now for the best one because of course I lost my mind when Barbatos brought MC to his own room. I know Lucifer did too but Barb did it first!

YEAH 'cause I'm expecting you to tell me you love me!!

Look at how serious he gets...

... and then that sweet subtle smile...

HE KEEPS THE SHELF A SECRET. 😭😭😭

Excuse me I’m just gonna go pass away now. 🪦

These feelings are enough for me to overlook those doofy hats even. Why do they insist on hats they look so silly no matter who wears them.

#hauled my ass out of bed just so I could post this #because I hit the 10 image limit for mobile #but I wasn’t gonna be stopped #you got all the Barb screenshots #my heart can’t take it #anyway don’t mind me #I’m just having too many emotions about fictional men again #late night nonsense posting #obey me #obey me nightbringer #obey me event #obey me spoilers #obey me satan #obey me diavolo #obey me lucifer #obey me solomon #obey me barbatos #misc rambles

Now, that look like something my old auntie taught us how to make when I was a tyke. Some folks call them bird traps. Old auntie told us they were devil nets. You put them around the bed, catch the devil before he get too close... I always just though it was something for children to do. Keep them busy. Tell them stories why they're tying sticks together.

The greatest thing about good omens is that there is just no way for it not to be a love story.

Not necessarily between Aziraphale and Crowley but more so for each other.

Crowley wanted to save the world so Aziraphale could spend more time licking abricot jam off the back of spoons, marvel a little longer about how the seasons change in St. James’.

Aziraphale wanted to save the world so Crowley could have more time to listen to Queen while gardening, a few more years to put together another array of outrageously stylish outfits.

And each of them wanted to be there to witness it all.

Sure, they saved the world because they find it to be a very enjoyable place to exist in, but even more so, because the other one does. They saved the world for each other, in a way. And if that isn’t love, i don’t know what is.

#nora rambles about good omens again #but it’s just #ppl were like neil what kind of love in being shown in go #and he was just like all of them #they love each other’s little nonsensical eccentricities #and they love how the other one loves them #to the world indeed #good omens #good omens 2 #aziraphale #crowley #ineffable husbands #aziracrow

the hermitcraft hyperfixation is taking hold,,,, season 10 is going to RUIN me

so far, i've been watching Grian, Mumbo, Scar, Joel, Etho, and Tango - I watched Doc's E1 but haven't watched his E2 yet, and I'm currently catching up on Xisuma's episodes (and considering adding Ren, Iskall, Gem, Skizz, and maybe BDubs and JoeHills to the list if I have the time to watch that many more)

for more context, this is the first season I'm watching ANYONE other than Grian's POV

honestly i'm just really happy to be getting into more of the hermits, because I've known I've enjoyed them from what I've seen on Grian's POV and the Life Series', just never got into their content

i'll probably update in a month or two with how many of them I manage to stay caught up on lmao

#this is going to do TERRIBLE things to my performance in all other parts of my life lmao #this is also the first time i've watched literally any video from X Tango or Doc and i'm so happy im getting into their content #hermitcraft #hermitblr #hermitcraft season 10 #hc s10 #hc season 10 #hermicraft s10 #grian #mumbo jumbo #goodtimeswithscar #smallishbeans #ethoslab #tangotek #organizey tags as usual > #cubic nonsense #hyperfixation type beat #stuff and nonsense ramblings etc

To ME, The Iliad and The Odyssey are about the different reactions to trauma and "hate".

The Iliad is about how a man gets destroyed by hatred. Achilles is "destroyed" metaphorically because his hatred and grief caused him to lose his "humanity". Hector is killed by a man filled with so much hatred (Achilles). Both men are "gone".

The Odyssey, being what happens directly after, is about how a man can come BACK from such hatred. Menelaus and Nestor, while still in pain from the war (the time, friends, and family they lost), are still able to move forward and live normal lives. We watch this happen in real time through Odysseus.

Odysseus' name means to hate and be hated, something he's been probably doing since he left Ithaca to a degree. You could even see the slaughter of the suitors as being the "final fight" he has to go through before the "healing". He gains back his humanity, kingdom, and identity by loving and being loved. (Niko's post about Odysseus and his identity. It delves further into all that well!)

Some people are lost to war and some people CAN come back from it. While the ancients (of every culture as well!) didn't have the semi-universal term PTSD yet, they knew damn well people who have experienced trauma tend to be "different" afterward and had their own stories and even some "remedies"

Other ancient works, such as those by Hippocrates, describe soldiers who experienced frightening battle dreams. (Source, whole article gives more info on ancient PTSD too!)

Celsus, a Roman doctor described a condition named Insania sine fibre.

In Ancient Mesopotamia, “They described hearing and seeing ghosts talking to them, who would be the ghosts of people they’d killed in battle – and that’s exactly the experience of modern-day soldiers who’ve been involved in close hand-to-hand combat.” (Source)

This is my own interpretation, but in a way, I think the Epic Cycle is...showcasing that. The Iliad shows how trauma can "end" a person. And The Odyssey is kind of a way to give some hope to folks in a "Hey, you CAN get better. You CAN have your life back."

#I have not really edited this and looked it over as much as I should have but meh! #also if someone else has already thought and talked about this. I can give credit and/or delete it! #I have a lot of feelings on this. as I love history. Psychology. and literature and the Iliad/Odyssey to ME is all 3 #I could just interpret it this way since...ya know👀so I could be talking absolute nonsense but I wanted to know what others think! #I think it's why I love the Odyssey and Odysseus so much.
