i think often about how interesting (devastating, crushing, heartbreaking) it would be to watch charles and edwin see each other’s murders. like what their reactions would be, what would be going through their heads, the effects of it on how they view each other, all of it. and i’ve been thinking about writing that (i still hope to).
i don’t mean them being at the scene of each other’s deaths in real time, i mean them being forced to watch, helpless, unable to protect each other from the past.
but a few days ago i realised something.
i was telling my best friend about this idea, and then it hit me: edwin did see charles’s hate crime. when he gave charles the lantern he said “you can simply extinguish it if those boys come up here.” like HE SAW THE WHOLE FUCKING THING!!!! what is that like for him? how often does he picture that when he looks at charles, or when charles is sad or vulnerable? anyway this ruined me so now i’m forcing you all to experience the pain too (and here’s this meme i made)
"The preliminary investigation indicates Letcher County Sheriff Shawn M. Stines shot District Judge Kevin Mullins multiple times following an argument inside the courthouse, according to Kentucky State Police. Mullins, who held the judgeship for 15 years, died at the scene, and Stines surrendered without incident."
Credits to Mambo Jambo on Twitter for this idea/Theory.
But she mentioned that. In the scene where Macaque is playing for the shadow theatre. He shows Wukong leaving, then this next.
Now that I think about more. Maybe. As Mambo Jambo theorized.
When when the sun left, they stopped balancing out the shadows. That's when/why they corrupted Macaque. After Wukong left because he was balancing Macaque out.
That also might make sense depending on the S5 Memory.
If Wukong had already left, and that's when the shadows corrupted Macaque. He wouldn't know what happened.
It would make sense on why Wukong didn't want to fight him. + them used being best friends of course and not used to fighting each other.
But in the end Wukong had ended up killing and blinding his eye and sealed him in Diyu because Macaque was out of control.
Trevonte Helton, a 29 year old Black man, "was found hanging from a tree at High Shoal Falls in North Georgia." This man was murdered, and their quick eagerness to call this an "isolated" incident is just horrifying.
nex benedict was a native american non binary kid who was beaten to death in the girls bathroom at their school in oklahoma. the school forced them to use the girls room and they still got fucking killed.
their school didnt even call 911 when they were dizzy and bruised and bleeding after being assaulted by three older girls and having their head slammed on the tile floor. they were suspended for two weeks. they died from the head injuries 24 hours later.
NEX WAS SIXTEEN. SIXTEEN. THEY LIKED MINECRAFT AND ARK SURVIVAL EVOLVED AND THEIR CAT ZEUS.
THEY WERE A CHILD.
THEY WERE TOLD TO COMPLY TO THE RULES ABOUT BATHROOMS AND THEY DID AND THEY WERE STILL BEATEN TO DEATH. BECAUSE IT HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT BATHROOMS AND BIOLOGICAL SEX. IT IS ABOUT SILENCING AND ENDING US.
trans kids are not safe anywhere. terfs and transphobic influencers teach children to hate their peers and people DIE. i hope terfs know that they are the reason people die. nex's blood, and the blood of thousands of trans kids who have been killed, abused, and ended their own lives, are on your hands.
im disgusted and depressed and scared
important additions!!

as @minecraft666 said, the staff needs to be held accountable for not calling an ambulance and allowing the transphobia to exist
A 16 year old kid who loved nature and looking after their cat Zeus. Who enjoyed reading, watching the Walking Dead, and playing Ark and Minecraft. They loved to cook and would often make up their own recipes. They did well in school, being a straight-A student.
Rest in power a teen who was human and had interests and ambitions and challenges and friendships.
A trans youth who was brutally murdered just for being trans, when that was only a fragment of who they were as a person.
Nex Benedict, Jacob Williamson, Brianna Ghey, and other trans youth like them were real people with real lives.
They deserved better, longer, happier lives. They deserved to grow up and not fear for their lives. They deserve to be remembered as who they were, not just as another trans kid who was killed, as people with families and normal human lives.
In this hypothetical, both the stranger and your closest person are in front of you, restrained/incapacitated and unable to fight back. You have absolute certainty that killing this stranger will save your closest person; otherwise, your closest person will die. You do not know the stranger in any capacity (other than that they are an adult), but you have to personally kill them in order to save your closest person– stab, strangle, poison, etc; no indirect methods like "leave them to starve."
