I can respect the hater mentality
#kirby#kots#kirby of the stars#hoshi no kirby#kirby meme#it's honestly hilarious that half the cast of star allies are just people that tried to kill us and most of them aren't even sorry#Taranza at the time was the only redeemed villain in the cast#like yeah magolor went through redemption but we didn't know that he just built a theme park and hoped everything was fine#marx is just not hungry and his text just hints at him still being up to no good#susie is still racist and im not even sure she learn something from her experience#apart from trauma#daroach is here to steal stuff#im still not sure what dark meta knight wanted but nothing good I'm sure#i may be giving Taranza too much credit because he's my favorite he did have ulterior motives#but at most he just wanted to pray for Sectonia's revival he wasn't gonna do anything bad#he is going through stuff of course he's vulnerable to be converted by a cult#he's even like 'probably won't work and it working would honestly be a bad thing but im going to try anyway'#do you think Taranza gets lonely up there#Galacta dying the second we receive the first bit of solid lore about them was straight up evil#and then kumazaki confirmed they killed them because it was funny i was enraged /pos#i know people were tired of Galacta Knight at that point#i mean i wasn't bur i kind of understand why some people may have been#even they were tired they kiled themselves before having to fight us again#do you ever think about how none of the Galacta Knight encounters are canon to the kirby cast but are canon to Galacta#and then their death isn't canon so oops here they come in Kirby clash#retire that is old guy#but actually don't i like them and i want them to appear until they drop dead (again)#the post was meant to be about Galacta never forgiving the ancients but honestly they're probably angry just in general

Completely fascinated by the fact that the main reason Eggman is traditionally headcannoned bisexual is probably because if “woah he’s bisexual, I didn’t know that!”

speaking of tawnypelt its so funny when people go “mothpool is bad because people reduce mothwings character to just this fanon relationship! why not focus on her relationship with her thunderclan siblings!!!” 
like. girl WHAT relationship?
#brambleclaw doesnt give a fuck about her bc shes Girl#tawnypelt just doesnt interact w the riverclan siblings at all in any meaningful capacitiy#and does anyone like Actually ignore the abusive dynamic between hawkfrost and mothwing? besides stans who think he did nothing wrong?#iirc thats actually a good chunk of mothwing's content#ntm the books focus on her relationship w her apprentices more than her relationship with leafpool#im pretty sure she doesnt really even interact w her in any meaningful way after tnp#shes not even all that remarkable as a tigerstar kit bc usually shes just conflated with hawk in that regard#and after that ppl are just butthurt that shes an atheist#like. ntm ppl who do focus on mothpool elaborate on her not believing in starclan in context of their relationship#like how moth decides to put her faith in starclan if only because of leafpool#or the ''i may not believe starclan but i believe YOU leafpool'' line#like. honestly just say ur lesbophobic sldkfjsdlfd#no one besides a handful of people are ''reducing her character to a ship''#and the ones that are are just the normal ilk of shippers who do that with EVERY ship#or hell when canon itself reduces a character to just ''yay i have a love interest uwaaaa''#its. really not that bad bc mothwing herself is an underutilized character theres not much TO ignore#and the unique stuff about her actually is elaborated on in these mothpool rewrites#in a similar vein wow was it hilarious to see people claim mothpool was toxic and bad while shipping bramblesquirrel#echoed voice

THE FERNWEH SAGA by @lacunafiction: RETURNING VISITOR - ZARINA HAWKE. 
Full Name: Zarina “Rina” Hawke Grandpa's Name: Alexander “Xander” Hawke D.O.B.: July 27, Leo Personality: cautious // aloof // cruel // flirtatious Traits: head // resistance // believer  Past affinity: music [guitar]  Primary ability: extrasensory awareness Past susceptibility: healthy (only became this after learning the truth about her grandpa) Previously known (and future mentioned) occupation: Radio show host.
TSF became an incredibly comforting IF for me, which brought me to take my OG OC and put her inside Fernweh because who doesn't love complicated women going through complicated events, lose control over your own dreams, and crumble under the weight of past abandonment, try to push your own confidence forward to not fall, family loss, and learning the truths that may undo the walls you've built to protect yourself? Hawke's development is supposed to go from bitterness to relative sweetness, but ... only to the gang and a couple of others. We'll see how life goes on! Thank you Aelsa Trevelyan for creating such a fantastic world and as a member of the Patreon, I love all the new bits we get to learn. Extremely excited for Book 2.
Let's talk about general views and interactions with characters are of Book 1. Book 2 will certainly improve some of the interactions but also will worsen others (mwehehe). I love going into deep dives and TSF gave me so much food! Anyways, hyperfixation is true and real and I decided to just write novels at this point.
General personality description:
In short terms, Zarina Hawke as a child was an insufferable brat to everyone but her genuine friends and her rival. Smart, cocky, confident, and sometimes even callous (also extremely petty). The issues came with her unapologetic and straightforward wording of her opinions on other kids, which was hard to go against when she would fire back rather smart insults and show her tongue to those who tried to bully her. Perhaps, that’s why the majority of girls simply avoided Hawke aside from Sofia who got along rather well. Those who got to really know Zarina would always underline how attentive and observant she was about those she cared about or respected. She would notice small things, encourage her friends, and be genuinely nice with a sprinkle of occasional snark and sarcasm solely because the latter came with being a teenager who wanted to show off how cool she was to her friends.
Sadly, the fire and her grandfather’s separation (abandonment to her) changed a lot of things about her. The usual warmth would no longer grace her amber eyes until later by meeting Beckett Warrick and gaining more friends, but her core was shattered by the loss of everything and forceful extraction from Fernweh. There was no longer cocky brattiness, only somber shattered pieces and a thought that her grandfather didn’t stay with her because she wasn’t good enough. She turned more aloof, more distant, and much colder. She had to build herself from shattered pieces, growing up forcefully and becoming too independent for her own good. The mantra of ‘I’m fine’ became her sole move forward, not looking at her bitter grief and sadness over losing everything and everyone.
She was a lone wolf, a person who seemed untouchable, unbothered, and was alluring because of those traits: who can stay away from someone so mysterious? She never shared her story, never shared herself with others, and kept to herself until meeting Beckett Warrick, who helped her open up, learn how to trust again, and return bits and pieces of the young Zarina that was once caring, warm, and mischievous. Though her open, shameless cockiness has been substantially lowered, her maturity and protective side became the front liners of her current. Softer looks, understanding hums, mischievous jokes and flirtatious words. But seems that the ‘untouchable and unbothered’ Zarina Hawke is going to start showing cracks upon her return to Fernweh, spilling bitterness like lava. After all, will she truly shed tears or spill that molten gold?
NOW OFF TO CHARACTER INTERACTIONS/VIEWS! because I need this for possibly fic set ups...
FERNWEH:  Initially, Fernweh was her kingdom to explore. She loved the city and enjoyed it extensively, especially when each place would be connected to certain points in her life from funny to sad to lovable. However, after leaving Fernweh, she lost all lose for the city itself, circling in her circle of inescapable bitterness and hurt until she matured enough to simply stop caring about it altogether. Sadly, her return to Fernweh brought back the bitterness she was choking on as a child, especially the more she learned about Fernweh itself and its secrets, causing her to want to leave the town (not the gang!) behind until she’s ready to return. But as we are aware of Book 1’s ending, it did not happen, which only added fuel to the flame of her spilling anger, especially at the cost of trapping Beckett with her. As of the end of Book 1, Zarina is highly bitter towards Fernweh community and the town itself, but that doesn’t include those who do not deserve her bitterness/frigidness which are obviously the Fernweh Gang, Mrs. Dorran, Mal, Alek Corvin, and depending on the future maybe some more. Will she come to like this town again or will it forever remain a place that fills her with frustrating bitterness? Perhaps, she can learn to like it again… but only if it’s through the people she cares for.
Basically, it's a Gordon Ramsay meme with her, Zarina @ Fernweh Gang and all the people mentioned on her good side are: Oh dear, oh gorgeous... While the rest of Fernweh like the board and the people who mistreat Beckett are treated as 'You fucking donkey' from her side.  
Tumblr media
GRANDPA ALEXANDER: As a child, Zarina wanted to impress her grandfather the most. She was attached to him and wanted to impress him with her grades, her skills, and everything. From showing him her music to playing it to showing him her test results to telling how she beat up Verner in a bet. Silly little things to make her grandpa laugh and pat her head. Alexander’s distancing proved to be detrimental to the young girl’s growing up, making her wonder if she wasn’t good enough and causing her to work harder so her grandfather can be proud of her again. The fire and the entrapment inside Alexander’s place further started to break down the confidence a young girl had in herself, begging for her grandfather to let her help and be there for him so he won’t leave her alone. But he did. He left her alone. He did not say goodbye, he did not drive her out of the town, he did not stay with her. Alexander’s abandonment caused irreparable damage to Zarina, which continues to sting and cause her to have extreme moments of protectiveness towards the Fernweh Gang and those she cares for, including having intense fear of being left alone now that she started to open up once again. The ever-confident Hawke Jr. does hide a little scared girl on the inside, a girl who’s been shattered and had to grow up too fast, and who will never get the closure she wanted. Thankfully, upon learning the truth of Alexander’s behavior, Zarina would break down in tears for the first time since the fire happened crying for her grandfather to come back while knowing he never will. 
WAFFLES: Waffles became her responsibility the moment she heard about the dog. At first, she wasn’t exactly sure on how to approach the dog and if she wanted to keep her around, but after the initial journey into the forest? Zarina decided that as her responsibility, she will take care of Waffles… warming up extensively to her after spending more time with her. She also enjoys her new name and thinks Beckett’s choice was truly heartwarming and her gaze softens adoringly whenever she calls the dog’s name and spends time with her. Waffles provides a sense of stability and security to her, which she continues to crave years after the fire. 
BECKETT WARRICK (RO): As mentioned before, Beckett became the stability Zarina searched for after the fire. It is why the nightmare version of Beckett stating that she was ‘broken’ does get to her. She is incredibly protective over him because of how much she cares about his well-being, considering him the Sun and the stars. She is genuinely attentive to his nervousness and his body language, memorizing it to ensure that she can notice right away when he’s uncomfortable and when she should step in. Warrick’s presence soothed her tension upon arriving at Fernweh and is one of the biggest reasons she never publicly broke down while learning everything, only coming very close to having a panic attack after the coroner’s office. The more they learned about her grandfather and the town’s secrets, the higher her overprotectiveness over Beckett would start to rise, making her want to actually ask him to leave her behind so he can get out and be safe because her fear over losing him was making her act irrationally alongside starting to feel like it’s her fault he got into this mess. However, Bee’s reminders and loyalty would be the glue to keep her mind together helping her breathe. Naturally, I need to bring up the lingering feelings. Hawke has been attracted to her best friend for a while, but refuses to take the step until after Fernweh, thinking she could just confess after dealing with everything about her grandfather. It didn’t go according to plan. Her flirtatious nature would come out more often around him, a wish to be physically close all too natural, but she did start to notice the lingering looks and how his hugs would sometimes stay for a bit longer than usual. And at the end? She did not forget Beckett stating she’s a great friend and that he loved. It's why in the car on their drive out, she would try to kiss him to express her feelings after almost dying. And yet… The ending of Book 1 does not make her worry for her own sake; instead, her mind was only filled with the fact that Beckett cannot leave. Because she brought him here. (What a fun time it gonna be, being a B-mancer and watching the angst unfold because if Bee is not fine, Zarina is not fine either and everyone will know it) 
JAMES CORVIN: This would be the hardest and most heart-wrenching thing to write, but the friendship between James and Zarina was one of the bonds that brought Zarina a lot of pain after she left. Reminders that she lost her childhood best friend would follow her for years, making her think that since he never wrote her letter or even reached out, he too has abandoned her. It made her feel bittersweet when meeting James again in the station, but the awkwardness during the stay would persist continuously throughout the stay up until the very end where the two share their genuine misunderstandings. Upon learning that James actually did write to her but his letters were never delivered caused Hawke to feel shameful over doubting him, apologizing for never speaking of it in the beginning. However, after clearing that large misunderstanding, they promised to write to each other and stay in touch, hoping to perhaps build more positive memories. Perhaps, in Book 2, they can become closer once again now that the awkward and tense misunderstanding has been cleared out. 
REESE VERNER: Who would know you better than you’d ever expect? Your rival. Zarina makes it clear that she’s never had a rival aside from someone named ‘R. V.’ Naturally, Reese Verner will forever be the only person who she ever respected to call a rival and not a friend as a child. He was stubborn, he was a Verner, he was smart, and he was competitive enough to butt heads with her bratty ass. After returning to Fernweh, Zarina surprisingly adopts a warmer approach to their interactions, joking in a lighter manner while still reminding him of their rivalries. Reese is one of the people who she always remembered fondly and whose memories did not hurt her to remember. Not only that, but Verner and Hawke find themselves to be rather similar as adults now, having lost someone they cared about but also having that shameless confidence with sharp tongues. Verner is someone who surprisingly can see past the confidence and laid-back smiles similarly to Beckett, calling out Hawke more often than any other person. At the end of Book 1, the childhood rivals genuinely rekindled their bond and found surprising solace in understanding each other, showing to each other that they understand each other far better than expected. There is a newfound peace alongside those mischievous smirks exchanged and jokes/pranks shared. Also, Reese was one of the people who vocally voiced out support in how she dealt with the sentinel tree, giving it a slow death, stating that she can grief or avenge as she wishes. She heard it and appreciated it more than he'd ever understand. 
SOFIA DORRAN: As children, Sofia Dorran was the only girl who would ever be able to handle Zarina’s personality because they could both throw sarcastic and intelligent words at each other, which would then turn into more of a genuine friendship that touches on books and interesting facts about Fernweh and the world outside. Not that they thought about leaving, but mythology and studies were quite fun and intriguing for them both to speak about. After returning to Fernweh, Zarina doesn’t hesitate to show that she is happy to see Sofia in good health alongside her mother, which is always mentioned by Hawke because both Sofia and Mrs. Dorran have always been accepting of her. Sofia’s sarcasm with a similarly aloof vibe personality goes well with Zarina as they can sit in silence and have a good time while reading. However, Zarina didn’t allow Sofia to call her by the nickname ‘Rina’ solely because it was Beckett who started calling her that. Instead, Hawke proposed to use another nickname that could be just a thing between the two of them in the future. 
ALEK CORVIN: Alek and Zarina played a lot together, being quite mischievous with James as kids. Hawke always welcomed the young boy to play with her and James, patting his head when they would be going outside of the farm and couldn’t take the little boy with her. After reuniting in Fernweh, good memories from Alek make it clear that he is happy to see her, but Zarina feels doubtful, knowing how much she believes she’s changed since they were younger and how awkward it is with James during their initial meet up. However, her stay in Fernweh will improve their relationship since Alek’s genuine wish to rekindle a friendship reflects in Hawke’s mind, especially knowing he’s been looking at Turn The Page.
MRS. (DELILAH) DORRAN: Despite not expecting to see her, Zarina initially felt awkward about seeing Mrs. Dorran because what the older woman sees is the girl who lived there. Delilah has always been patient and kind with Hawke, chuckling softly upon seeing that Zarina had 0 talent for painting but tried to still view it in a positive (delusional) way. After returning to Fernweh, she warms up to the sight of Mrs. Dorran’s unchanging kindness, but does share Sofia’s worry for the woman’s well-being and health while doing so many things.
MAL: Her interactions with Mal have been on the positive side, appreciating his drinks and his service. She does note that his enigmatic smile probably hides a lot more, solely comparing that service smiley of her own smile she used to have with others. As of the end of Book 1, she probably would miss his tea the most aside from the people she came to revisit.
MRS. VERNER: Upon her arrival, Hawke would not really speak with Mrs. Verner that much, instead meeting her with an apathetic stare of her own... and meeting a fitting challenger in the 'silent game' that Beckett said Zarina always wins. Not with Mrs. Verner, it seems like it. However, the trajectory of her view on Mrs. Verner changes drastically upon learning of her grandfather's cremation from the coroner's office visit. She started to blame the Board of Fernweh for their disgusting choice of cremation a man who lost everything to the fire. It was cruel, it felt like a slap to the face and a kick to the stomach. As someone who is aware of how high the Verners are in Fernweh society, Zarina puts the face of Mrs. Verner as the main 'human' reason for her bitterness. She hates the Board now, despising it, but she's only met Mrs. Verner, so... someone has to be blamed, right? She had to blame someone for the Board's actions. Until she can find more information. Justified or not in the long run? It doesn't matter. What matters is that Mrs. Verner was mistreating Reese from Hawke's view and that was enough to not care how justifiable her bitter anger was. Of course, she will never blame the child for their parents' sins. Thus, she remains protective of Reese especially because of how she saw him crumble just a bit before his mother during their visit.
???: The entity present in her nightmares continues to get her on her nerves. As much as she should be afraid, the rage that’s been bottling in her chest only makes her want to resist as much as she can, even if it hurts. This entity can only break her if it takes her people, which she is afraid it knows, but she won’t give up. As she says: I will not be malleable, you will choke on me, I’m not changing.
#the fernweh saga#fernweh saga#ok but let me tell you a story behind the names chosen for both zarina and alexander#so zarina is my oc from my original story that i HAD to put in fernweh because this IF is perfection and its just so perfect im in love#its actually hilarious because it connects to her personality and her 'amber' eyes. zarina means both golden and queen/tsaritsa#not only that but it underlines her being a leo who are known as independent and bossy + amber eyed people are also underlined to be that#her last name of 'hawke' actually is just my english version of 'sokolov(a)' which both mean 'hawk' since hawk is known as a bird of prey#and also known as a bird with a very sharp eyesight which is represented in zarina's perceptiveness & observation skills that are tested#her nickname is given by beckett which means 'joyful' and sometimes is translated as 'joyful melody' because she recovered her ability to#sing and enjoy singing/music all over again thanks to beckett's presence in her life and helping her go thru some real hard time#esp thinking that she didn't meet beckett right away after fernweh so she was in some... companies. girl was a not ok after being abandoned#but then bee appeared and he brought a sensation of stability she needed & she regained bits/pieces of herself so yeah i needed to say that#AS FOR ALEXANDER. both xander and alexander mean 'defender of humanity' which is what grandpa wanted to be: a protector of his family#he did everything to protect his family and tried yet failed and im so normal about the grandpa and granddaughter interaction#i will not shut the fuck up about this IF until the day i perish because its so good im so sorry for all fics imma write#i'm going to so mentally ill about them all i love every character sm#chr; zarina hawke.#series: the fernweh saga.#you dont want to know how much i have in my pinterest board for this#u dont want to know my thoughts on book 2#u dont want to know how insane i am feeling i need to commission miss hawke in this verse#i only have animemanga refs i might need a more realistic commission#god i love fernweh so much let me scream#looks at what im gonna do next: relationship boards...#im going to be so insufferable my friends gotta read this mwahaha#tsf#a collection of edits. — 🤍

it is so funny to me that margaret is only 24 years old but since most of the party has either been alive for way less than that (barry was "born" as a 25 year old super soldier, sid is a super new protoype droid) and everyone else is so new to living the Spacer lifestyle or just living on their own at all (riva and gunnie and skip and also kind of everyone) that she is by process of elimination the Most Experienced member of the gunner channel and somehow both the Fun Aunt and the "we have mcdonalds at home" mom. and she is also truly having a quarter-life crisis the entire time.

The 'crushing on Sonic' and 'is rivals with Sonic' Venn diagram would be a circle if it wasn't for Amy and Blaze.
in my beautiful mind amy is a lesbian who hasnt realized it yet and i guess ive convinced myself of this so hard that i momentarily forgot that she actually has a crush on sonic because for a second i was like "labeling amy as one of sonics rivals is a weird take but okay i guess"

I really dislike the inherent main plots of TSATS and Chalice of the Gods as they’re being explained to us currently, mostly just cause I feel like they take away from already established lore of the series and other plot points.
There is no way TSATS can go that doesn’t make either Tartarus feel cheap and/or the entire book just feel like Percabeth In Mark Of Athena: 2 Electric Boogaloo. Unless the twist is that they don’t go to Tartarus it is physically impossible. Because either they go to Tartarus and breeze through it, which makes Tartarus as a setting feel cheap and ruins all prior instances of it being used as a landscape of suffering, or they suffer Lots and Lots and it just feels like we’re rehashing the same exact plot over again purely for the sake of treating solangelo the same as percabeth, which doesn’t work because they’re vastly different character dynamics and putting them in the same situation has nowhere near the same emotional weights. Also it makes Nico’s original foray into Tartarus feel null because it makes it feel like his trauma doesn’t have any actual meaning, because why would he jump right back into it? Even with Nico’s character being extremely self-sacrificial, we’re at a point where we’re being told he’s improving on that and this is possibly the one circumstance he would think twice about. AND it makes Tartarus feel overused - Nico surviving Tartarus once? Okay, makes sense, he’s the son of Hades, and it’s cool that he’s the first mortal to ever survive it. Percabeth too? Getting iffy (especially since we see their trip in detail and that inherently means it’s lost a lot of potential oomph, because when you’re going for horrifying a lot of the time less is more) but okay, sure, Nico probably gave Percy some Tartarus Tips after being rescued and they had a literal dues ex machina or two helping them out, and they fell in accidentally so it’s not like how Nico waltzed in there. Third time? And it being Nico AGAIN and Will Solace (who as far as we know has little to no quest experience and most of his experience is being a battlefield medic) and then purposefully going there? Nope. It’s just a poor set-up. Plus “the major gay couple goes on vacation to superhell” is a... questionable plot set-up to begin with, especially when it’s been heavily implied it will be traumatizing for them, and we have already been told explicitly that references are being made to things like Call Me By Your Name so there is a self-awareness about the themes there (also that alone raises questions about how we’re going to be taking the tone of things - again, there’s two ways it can go and both would be extremely difficult to get right). If Mark Oshiro were not co-authoring this I’d be a little horrified. I’m very glad Mark Oshiro is co-authoring this. I don’t believe it can’t be done tastefully, and yeah it’s a situation ripe for symbolism, but it is definitely the kind of subject that would be difficult for a non-queer author to handle appropriately.
As for Chalice of the Gods, we know two things: A.) It takes place prior to TOA, and B.) The chalice Percy has to retrieve has the power to make anyone who drinks from it immortal. ..... so basically, without the book even being out, we are told “If Percy had waited like 20 minutes, all of TOA would be null.” Admittedly, this does give justification for Percy specifically to be doing this quest outside of “college” reasons, and in my opinion, “The gods asked Percy specifically because they have verified he adamantly does NOT want to be immortal” is hilarious. However, adding yet another universe mechanic to the repertoire that nullifies death is annoying as hell, because death as a consequence in the series has been completely ruined since HoO. The more avoiding death options there are, the more every death scene feels completely pointless and avoidable.
#pjo#riordanverse#tsats#the sun and the star#chalice of the gods#forgive me for complaining this was in my drafts and i figured since i was talking about plot changes i'd make yesterday#might as well post this then yknow#while we're on the topic#i'll find something lighter/sillier in my drafts to post later#also my hesitancy about the overarching plot does not say anything regarding my expectations for the actual quality of the book(s)#just putting that as a footnote#could the plots be total shit but the books themselves end up lovely? sure. totally.#i am just personally grumbly about Tartarus' use as a narrative device and how it keeps getting overused#and also the growing lack of consequence in the riordanverse which tends to make any stakes feel automatically low and cheap#mind you i would LOVE if the twist in TSATS is that they end up not going to Tartarus at all#im currently 50/50 on reading it but if it turns out they dont go to Tartarus at all i'd be sold immediately#and i do think Percy being saddled with a quest because he's the only one who wouldn't be tempted with immortality is hilarious#tbh if we had a third plot concept rolling here and we condensed all three ideas down we could just do another 3-short-story book#like Demigod Files and Demigod Diaries#we have options#heck. yknow. if we're talking particularly long short-stories here we could probably roll with two#if demigod files is for the first series and demigod diaries is for HoO we need a TOA one anyways#cause CHB:C and CJ:C and those ones are their own category they're different

dietitian warned me the other day i may need to go inpatient if this keeps getting worse and it hasn't left my mind ever since. partly because i don't see the reason. i am literally gaining weight. and also because a non-zero part of me wants to go back inpatient and i don't know why

Just thinking about how Chetney gave Ashton the little nod to kill that one guy at the Excavation Site and how quickly and easily Chetney turned full force on Ashton after the fire spark. Even saying that he, a werewolf who has lashed out and harmed many people including scarring Orym and triggering FCG while in human form, had more control than them…
Just thinking about how he also admitted he was a “monster” before he became a werewolf and how he also doesn’t want to take the cure, he likes being a werewolf. He clearly doesn’t think anything he’s done is that bad. Just thinking about how he ran away from Uthodorn and to a country on the other side of the planet to learn control and when the werewolf order in Uthodorn were brought up Chetney seemed genuinely concerned that they could be near. Hell even a random bounty hunter managed to capture him alone because he decided to fucking terrorize a shop keeper for the hell of it as payback.
Just thinking about how now Chetney has the audacity to shout at Ashton about broken trust, hurting others, and pressuring them to leave when each and every single one of them has hurt each other in one way or another.
Just thinking about how as far as we know, Ashton hadn’t killed anyone themself up until the Site when given permission by Chetney, who gave them a nod to commit murder (which isn’t a normal thing for everyday to day people). And then them separating Ratanish in half without a second thought saying “you should’ve killed me when you had the chance” when Ratanish hadn’t had that much of an impact on the story other than the Quorum Ball fight with Ashton where only like 2 of them witnessed it.
Just thinking about how Chetney believes he’s a monster and has repetitively encouraged others to give in to their darker natures like he has. Just thinking about how Chetney is aging and will likely die of old age and how Ashton never expected to survive the fall and allowed Hexum to determine how their life played out FOR MONTHS even after finding and recovering FCG.
Just thinking about Ashton’s insecurities and desperation to be needed and wanted they are literally willing to appease anyone hoping for just one ounce in return all because “they don’t want to have to ask.” Just thinking about Ashton thinking of the life they should’ve had/was stolen from them and not dedicating an equal amount of time to thinking about the life they currently have and the future they’re headed in, and how just like FCG they can be swayed because of their continuous self doubt and lack of self respect not knowing their value and worth as a person who matters.
Just thinking about how Chetney wants legacy and Ashton wants to become someone. Just thinking about how those two things might not be as mutually exclusive as they seem.
#cr discourse#I think a lot of the characters were making what Ashton did about themselves instead of actually listening to what Ashton was saying#I feel like that episode would’ve been so different if Liam was actually there to play Orym in live time#look Chetney is an okay character for me when they stand alone#but in a group…he’s been so suspicious for me since the beginning#I’m gonna be disappointed if no character confronts him about his enabling behavior#I also definitely think some subconscious resentment came through when it came to Fearne’s involvement#I think all the characters overreacted to Ashton and focused on the wrong reason to why it happened#‘you did this and it hurt us.’ but no one cares about why Ashton felt the need to do it in the first place#Imogen trying to tell them ‘you don’t need more power’ is hilarious coming from her who has let power control her since day 1#also it’s kinda weird no one has confronted anyone about the senseless killing happening#like y’all are supposed to come from everyday cities….so why are you so chill with this??#im not talking about the Ruby Vanguard and paragons call stuff. I mean what happened to the verdict and in Bassuras 3 different occasions#Orym is the only one that makes sense to me because he trained for years and has the moral experience#everyone else is either a child (FCG & Fearne). a farmer (Laudna & Imogen). or a criminal (Ashton & Chet)#I mean child by the fact FCG is like 2 years old since Dancer. and Fearne is supposed to be 14 without all the time stretching done to her#still strongly believe Bells Hells should split up once all this is done. half of them don’t deserve the trauma they’ve gotten from all thi#they certainly deserved better company than what they got. they needed more normalcy and unfortunately Orym is outnumbered & out-voiced#critical role#bells hells#chetney pock o'pea#ashton greymoore

thinking so hard about . when exactly in the martian timeline they hated and loved eachother can u help me .. cause after turkey 2010 they had their love moments as well and even in 2012 they had their buddy buddy moments so idk !!! they’re confusing
OH MY GOD IM SO SORRY I MEANT TO REPLY TO THIS AND THEN I JUST COMPLETELY FORGOT, SO: hello :D
This is something I think about often as well. Teammates are a weird dynamic in F1 because you're forced to compete for the same resources and against each other in the WDC, but at the same time have to still think combined for the team, for the WCC. I think teammate relationships are like being siblings or like being in a marriage(actually I think Mark has said this before haha.) You can never fully hate or separate from each other, even if you go through rough patches, because you're stuck together and have had the same experiences, for good or for worse.
Turkey 2010 is funny because I think that was one of their first bad moments as teammates, right? And I love that RBR made them take that couples therapy, "us in our get-along shirt", picture. That's what I mean by going through the same experiences, like yeah they were probably pissed at each other but were also probably bonding over the hilarity/awkwardness of RBR making them do damage control.
I just think it's probably difficult to stay upset with someone consistently when you're constantly working with them, and you've also experienced the highest highs and lowest lows with each other. I think I referenced this in my Martian champagne pics post but it's kinda funny when you look through all of those shared podiums that Mark always seemed to be way more willing to spray Seb and smile at him when Mark was the one who won(Literally 3/4 of the pics from that post when they were both at RBR were from Mark's wins.) Like it was such a "I can't stay mad at you 🤭" relationship with them. Like with Mark in particular, it feels like whenever he got a better result, he was mostly like "I shall forgive your transgressions." But then 2013 was kind of the last straw for him, with Multi-21, and especially since he really was getting crushed by Seb and not even getting any wins like in the prev years. But then, by removing himself from it all when retiring, he was able to take a step back and see what it was like to not be in constant, direct competition anymore.
Idk if I'm the best person to ask as I don't think I'm in any measures a great Martian scholar. But these are my thoughts :D I just think being teammates in such a competitive environment can result in such love-hate relationships and that Martian is one of the greatest examples of how it fluctuates. I think it'd be really difficult to try and parse when exactly they were on good or bad terms. For me, tbh I think it kinda correlates with Mark's results because I think with just that whole situation, where they were in as teammates directly competing at the very top, it was a lot easier for Mark, rather than Seb, to start feeling resentment as he was generally drawing the shorter straw most of the time.
Basically, teammates(Martian especially) are bonded through triumph and trauma
