#ESP IF THEY’RE IN A TRIO OF SORTS

[deus-ex-mona]

current momentary obsession: the sad pining gay whose love was never meant to be

[juniorig0327]

Kinda random BUT

I think before I write any AUs I wanna try and write sort of a canon compliant AU or atleast a post HoO fic.

It would probably be Percy centric and I have no idea what it would be about tbh.

Maybe it would be a quest, focusing on his character without Annabeth or Grover there, maybe have some other demigods accompanying him?

Not sure lol. I know in my fics I do want to go into depth and tweak the characterization of some gods (esp gods like Ares, Zeus, even Poseidon maybe).

I feel like a quest would be more interesting though, I feel like I’d have fun making my own prophecy and stuff.

As for the danger level of the quest I kinda realize I’d probably have to make it pretty dangerous. I’d want to involve the primordials not gonna lie. Like they’re alive but not causing problems.

It probably would be sort of traumatic but not as traumatic I think. I don’t think there’s worse I can do than Tartarus but I do have an idea of a sort of æther realm based off of the idea of a 5th element.

Id also want to try my hand at exploring different versions of gods one biggest example being Mycenaean Poseidon, Demeter etc. Maybe a bit of Orphic things too.

If I did have Percy go on the quest I think i like the idea of it being a Sky, Water, Earth trio going on the quest or something similar considering primordials and what not.

I feel like I’d want to limit canon characters to leave it open to new characterization.

It wouldn’t be really long (at least not on purpose) I do want to give myself a challenge before I go into writing my other fic ideas though so yeah.

Just a yap session because I wanted to post today. I like posting about whatever I’m thinking especially about Percy Jackson because non of my friends irl like Percy Jackson so it’s nice I get to yap about it to whoever sees it so when you like, reblog, and comment it makes my day. Going online servers to talk about it are too much for me so I’m glad I brought myself to do this so I apologize if I have a buncha changing ideas a lot.

[boba-beom]

your theme looks so pretty bhie! im inlove! 🫠 i love how you incorporate every details from the concept trailer

skl, i don't understand a thing on txt lore, or anything that happened in that recent concept trailer but damn they gave what they had to give! cinematography is insane! its so unique, eerie and emotional, also the boys' acting was so natural. i can agree with you when you say that freeze were they're best and i just can feel that this comeback may just top that. i already see a lot of improvements from freefall and im so here for it!!

im planning to read the little prince, and read more theories about it hehehheeh

yieee thank you bhiee! I thought I’d try smth a little new because my theme’s been the same but different colours hehe so thank youuu >3< I still love the orange hazy type of vibes I get from your theme 🥹 the golden hour of our trio theme with evie hehe

I’ve been a little out of it in terms of txt’s lore, BUT my take on their concept trailer is like everything that before this; all the fairytales, were just their own little story to fulfil their childhood, living a little longer in that phase of not wanting to grow up in a world where we grow up so quickly 😔

their acting was so good, yeonjun and soobin on motorbikes, beomgyu driving the car? just the snippets of their ‘every day lives working’ and then when they come together that’s like their comfort of some sorts.

I can’t wait to read more lore and theories, they’re always so interesting. esp when there are different takes on it! I can’t wait to see the rest of their concepts and when they’ll be releasing these!

I think you’re love little prince, for sure. there are some quotes that have started to make sense for me and the connections between the members and the story.

“it is only with the heart that one eye can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” that with one eye is hueningkai and with the heart eye patch,, I just want to read more lore hehe

[apricotopera]

one of my most deeply held beliefs about bbs (one of. many.) is that despite being a literal part of heart hotel ven’s closest parallel isn’t sora, but kairi. aqua is the sora parallel here!!

i think it’s important to me to see both ven and kairi as balancing forces - even though ven has no darkness in his heart and kairi is a princess of heart, they’re sort of the middle ground in their trio. while sora and aqua are pulled to unflinchingly follow the light and riku and terra are being manipulated by darkness, they’re the ones who can, in some way, see through that dichotomy to the people they love past it. kairi is the one who sees ansem as riku in kh2!! this is vitally important to me!!! both are also in a lot of ways seen for their utility - ven because he can make the chi blade, kairi esp in 1 (and the melmem flashback) as a princess of heart to make the keyblade of heart. this isn’t unique to those two per se (xion roxas and namine cough cough) but it is a fun parallel.

and aqua and sora are the seekers!! they’re the ones whose goal is to find and bring together their friends again!!! theyre the ones that are the most unflinchingly devoted to the light!! and they also have the same very stubborn devotion to their friends, the way that both of them won't back down that their friends Are good people, that they Wouldn't fall to darkness, that they Will find them. theres a reason that aqua tells sora that it's going to be his job to bring his friends back, the exact thing she is doing at that moment. theres a reason that she (accidentally or not) sends kairi to him. theres a reason sora ends up with master's defender, however briefly. that's the part of the lineage he's a part of.

My Splatband ideas

TBN: Experimental Electronic/Pop

Three-piece band based in Octo Canyon, with a Blanket Octopus Octoling (Synth+Mixing and Vocals), a very small octotrooper (Bongos, kazoo and other assorted instruments) , and a runaway salmonid (Banjo + Ukulele) .Their music takes notes from both the Octarian and Salmonid music scenes, and their music can be pretty varied. Most, however, is synth pop and electronic with that “weirder” edge to it. The sound is kinda like Pomplamoose, Rednex and a lil bit of TOP blended into... something.

All But Ready: Alt rock, emo?

An inkling duo making their name with lively guitar riffs and heart wrenching lyrics. Dark blue and cherry red ink. One has spiky hair that looks like a cross between Noiji/Clash and Mizo(le) ‘s hair

Metronomad: Alternative, Folk Rock/Americana

A quartet (maybe quintet later on) of sea folk with a strong connection to the past (they’re all fish and critters that existed in prehistoric times). In touch with their heritage and even times before sentience, this band tries to invoke the feeling of a “pervious life”, using natural sounds and old recordings in their work. They sound like a cross of Cosmo Sheldrake, Imogen Heap (esp her most recent endeavor) and maybe a hint of OMAM and/or The Lumineers

Nautilus, Coelacanth, Wobbegong Shark, Sturgeon and/or Alligator Gar.

Six Feet Underwater: Electronic, experimental

The first musical endeavor of ω-3’s DJ. Extremely dreary and intense. They’ve been on a semi-hiatus since joining ω-3, but released some music around 2020-21, which caught the attention of a much larger audience than their first works under the title. This project is under heavy scrutiny and theorization of curious inkfish, trying to unravel the “mystery”. Yknow the type. Currently the popular theory/rumor is that they’re some depressed octoling hidden away in some apartment who may or may not have killed someone or died somehow. People debate whether the latest album is telling a fictional story or is one last cry for help.

α-5 (name tentative): uh Salmon

Another salmonid band. 5 piece, but I may change my mind for 6. Their sound is a lot more noisy, possibly even cluttered, and high-energy. If ω-3 is panic, dread and stress, then α-5 is rage, spite, and the determination to go out with a bang. They do not play around with time signatures as much and are more symphonic, instead staying very intense and loud. I’m not quite sure abt the exacts of instruments but I’d say guitar and drums are both a part. I think their sound would bring Igorrr and Ridiculon to mind, mixed with some songs from the Pikmin games. They’re all girls or fem aligned save for maybe one. They get along better than ω-3.

One of their members is a mudmouth with weird iridescent muck. She provides odd noises by shifting around in her mud form and can form pseudopods of sorts to multitask. Basically fills in misc instruments.

Another is a Flipper Flopper who adores cute things, even collecting inkling/mainland trinkets that wash up. The other members are worried her own preferences will bleed into the sound, which contrasts heavily. She has a separate project or persona that delves into the cuteness she desires. Drummer?

Tidal Bore: basically 100 gecs in splatoon if the ska-ish bits of stupid horse were in more of their songs . Musical duo? Trio?? Warabi might be a part of it but this is more of a concept and idk abt the actual members. Whale Shark and an Inkfish? Octoling?? Maybe a Cuttle-ling?

[chryzuree]

Here's another chrysijacks question, now that I've read Caraval, how much of canon is in your canon? Meaning like, how much do you pick and choose from the main series and the spin off? What's Chrysi doing during the series? Is she in the plot or off with azure or doing her own thing? I believe I remember you wrote something where she's off in a different kingdom and Jacks goes to find her after Scarlett became empress, but I'm curious where exactly Chrysi sits with everything.

💜💜💜

SO i have two versions of canon (which… technically can both be canon), but they both follow what is established in canon p closely, save some of jacks’s backstory. mostly because i find the magnificent north world building lacking.

BUT with my main canon storyline (chrysi and jacks were friends back at the beginning, when jacks was mortal, then chrysi met azure, died in his arms, and he made a deal with the stars that kickstarted their reincarnation curse. jacks became a fate to get rid of his grief, and his cursed kiss came from kissing chrysi’s corpse and being poisoned by her star blood. also his memory was wiped of what led him to become a fate, jst so i can have a reason he doesn’t recognize chrysi and azure in the current time), i completely do away with the spin-off trilogy. there’s not much of a coherent plot happening there tbh. instead, i focus on chrysi and jacks falling in love after azure left chrysi + tella divorced jacks, then focus on jacks remembering his first life, and THEN focus on the trio trying to figure out a way to break the reincarnation curse.

the other storyline (the one where chrysi and jacks are both growing up in the gambling hall & chrysi turns jacks into a fate) also follows canon, but it gives jacks a different motivation for finding the deck of destiny (finding chrysi, after she took jacks’s place in the card). this is the one where after scarlett’s the empress, she approaches jacks so they can find gavriel’s “other heir” (heavy on the quotation marks—gavriel did NOT like chrysi & tried to have her killed after she ran away). similarly, this one doesn’t follow the spin-off trilogy’s canon at all. i do NOT like the spin-off trilogy. in this one, paloma took chrysi’s place in the card since she felt a sort of pity for her, esp since she knew chrysi was half-star, just like scarlett. after chrysi got out of the card, she returned to another incarnation of azure in the kingdom over & they’re living happily when jacks and scarlett come in trying to find her.

but yeah, i’m vvvvv much someone that likes following canon p closely! jacks still has his thing with tella, and it pisses chrysi off, but it’s okay!!! it’s funny!!!!!

[mochiwrites]

M O C H I I AM IN YOUR INBOX AND I AM HEAR TO SHOUT I HAVE THE CHAPTER PULLED UP I HAVE COFFEE I HAVE NOT MEDICATED AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Who gave you the RIGHT

That FRAME and CANVAS metaphor my HEART. How DARE. God. Giant hole where Grian is. I knew what was coming, sort of. I had a lot of suspicions confirmed. I AM SHAKING YOU. THE WAY YOU TWISTED THAT FAMILY FOLDER TOO???? That mumbo DIDNT click on it but Scar did only to have it be. MMMMMMMMMM WHAT I WAS??????? SHAKING YOU

The GB. The way they've infiltrated the town right under everyone's noses. Oh goddddddddddddddddd I am so FULL of dread. And then to introduce them through Martyn AND JIMMY AHHHH I KNEW IT AND also introduce the listeners in that way??? I am vibrating.

I have so many thoughts about Martyn, Grian, and Jimmy I'm. MMMMMMMM. The self-hatred of the fact that they blame themselves for Grian's disappearance where in reality they would have probably been taken too. Listening to the two of them be so full of guilt when Scar and Mumbo are feeling guilty for doing all of this behind Grian's back [THE PARALLELS]. The fact that Scott and Ren are also involved to varying degrees is driving me insane too like. Ren is mostly here because Martyn knows a lot but Scott is here because HE knows a lot and that being mirrored across the table onto Scar and Mumbo who have the closest connection to the watchers but the least amount of info IM

GOD 'You aren't genuine. No one ever is' AND NOW NO ONE CAN BE SURE IF GRIAN IS, INCLUDING GRIAN HIMSELF IM GONNA GO MAD. The way we're connecting back to something at the beginning of the story i am CHOMPING at the BIT

And I KNEW the second we saw Grian by himself nothing good was gonna be happening. This is why I sent 'biting you' btw. This whole scene with helen made the hair on the back of neck stand up. The way it has even Grian himself doubting himself is INSANE. AUGH. g o d I hope I can write like this some day.

And then to have him go home and Scar and Mumbo just got back from a meeting where they defended Grian and swore he couldn't possibly be WORKING with the watchers and he only JUST got pearl back and now NO ONE can know if Grian is actually working with them AND! AND!!!! THERE'S ALSO THE CHANCE THAT THEY'VE DONE THE SAME THING TO PEARL AGGGGGH. I am SCREAMING. GOD.

Well done. I am still shaking you.

EHEHEHEHE~ I’m using your ask as an excuse to ramble about certain things in the new fic ty <3

RIGHT SO. THE FRAME & CANVAS METAPHOR — I had so much fun writing that, esp because it works so well as a metaphor??? scar has just enough information for this bare bones skeleton of a theory. he doesn’t have all of the pieces together, but he’s trying so hard to create an image with the things he’s got (which isn’t a lot). so boom. the perfect metaphor <3

and ehehe, it was so funny seeing people freaking out over the folder — esp when I knew from the start what was going to be inside it :>

GOD MARTYN AND JIMMY. THEY. OKAY??? THEY MAKE ME SOOOOOOO. they knew the old grian. they’re the last pieces of grian’s past. they’ve been through fucking hell. they feel guilty. martyn even more so. he’s the oldest of the trio. he feels like he failed grian, as well as jimmy.

martyn looks at himself as the older brother. and yet he failed to protect both grian and jim. he feels like it’s his fault he and jimmy ended up with the listeners. and so when martyn spoke about them… it wasn’t just guilt for grian he was feeling.

and then enter ren and scott and… oof. scott was absolutely involved because he has information, but also he was there to be a rock for jimmy. as for ren… ren’s been involved since the very beginning. see, when the cops busted the listeners, jimmy had a family to come home to (lizzie). but martyn? he had no one.

the night the listeners were broken up, martyn found himself at a restaurant. and the owner of that restaurant became his world.

but it drives me insane, how close scar and mumbo are to the watchers because of their connection to grian. and yet… they know next to nothing. it’s almost kind of fun though. because you as the reader get to connect the pieces alongside them :>

as for that scene with grian, MAN was that a blast to write :D stel and I have had that one planned since like. June lmao. it was literally written in my notes “grian gets gaslit” but so!! that whole exchange took a bit of work to hit the way I wanted it to, esp with grian doubting himself as well. but that’s the thing about memories, yeah?

enough time goes by and well… the details start to seem a bit hazy :)

but that ending… I almost didn’t write it. I almost ended the one shot with helen’s little “we’ve got work to do” line. but then I thought against it and threw in that little thing at the end there.

so you get this like… almost tender moment between the three of them as their whole world starts to come crashing down around them.

anyways yeah !!! this one was a ton of fun to write :3 it was definitely a long time coming, and I hope the answers satisfied a lot of questions that crime enjoyers have had since the start <3

[m1ckeyb3rry]

hello, i hope you’re doing fine! just read the new chapter of sith and came to banter about it again!!

- i’ve always wondered how colt felt about his little brother being a warrior candidate and i’m so glad you chose to touch on it in this chapter! of course, he would be upset but i also find myself thinking like was he angry or maybe disappointed in marley? because i’m pretty sure that in the first place he thought that him becoming a candidate would be enough to fix his family’s reputation and when he found out that that wasn’t the case, he must’ve been disappointed. it’s so sad to think that the moment colt was born, he kind of became the “savior” of the family and even though i’m sure that his parents love him and everything, they probably saw him as some kind of “pawn” to save themselves. i can imagine colt not wanting the same fate for his baby brother but not being able to do anything about it must be infuriating as hell. i’m sorry i just can’t help but feel awful about colt’s position in his parents’ lives🥲

- i truly enjoyed some heartwarming moments with y/n’s parents in this chapter, it was just so sweet🥺🥺 and we can now see that her mom is starting to get used to colt’s presence in her life, hopefully she’ll warm up to him a bit more!

- i must admit that nursery rhyme was so clever on your part. anyone who deals with some sort of anxiety knows the urgency to indulge into something familiar. y/n having a comfort rhythm hits too close to home.

- MY FAVORITE PART in the entire chapter was the banter between our fav trio😭 I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH. when they were talking about falco having a crush on gabi and friedrich coughing knowingly?? i died, that was soooooo funny. following that colt talking about cordelia and friedrich almost choking?? sooooo funny😭 and when y/n said that she would prefer spending her days with two of them even if she were a queen… i melted. i just want to protect them at all costs

- i absolutely loved your descriptions of the little warrior candidates, they were PERFECT. i was smiling the whole time i was reading that part. “a devilish grin compared to falco’s angelic frown” is a perfect way to describe gabi! gabi and falco truly compliment each other because they are literally the opposite. why are the grice boys so sweet😭 y/n mistaking gabi for alice was so fucking sad… my mood went down immediately after reading that.

to be honest, this was one of my favorite recent chapters! after the athyaen war, everything got a bit darker and i’m sure that it’s going to get even more darker, and i’m not complaining! but i just loved reading some light stuff and y/n being with her favorite people in the world and showing affection🥰 i also must say that i love your writing. the dialogues, the descriptions… it’s easy to read but descriptive when necessary. another amazing chapter🥰

HII!! I’m doing well. Or at least as well as I can considering it’s winter and I hate the cold 😭 but I love banter so I was happy to get another long ask :)

- colt’s relationship with his family always makes me so sad because like he really has had no other choice and he’s just so kind that he doesn’t even complain, he genuinely wants to save them (esp falco) and the fact that he can’t protect falco from being a candidate while knowing what the candidates go through is so hard for him. and i agree with what you said about his parents!! i actually think it was mentioned somewhere in the first chapter of sith let me find it

“This isn’t news to them. They’ve always been more hands-off with me; I’m their sacrificial lamb, remember? Falco’s the one they really care about; though, to be fair, it’s almost impossible to not care about Falco. Anyways, as I was saying, they’ve had years to prepare for this day. I promise you, they’re not upset about any of this,” he said.

that was when they were waiting to hear about who got into the candidacy program and y/n was telling her father to stop crying lol simpler times 😢 but yes although colt’s parents don’t dislike him and certainly love him, they’ve always kind of been resigned to his eventual death so they were just never as close with him as y/n’s parents are with her if that makes sense.

- speaking of her parents, i’m glad you like them!! i didn’t want to go the typical dead/absent parent route that’s so common in fics, but i wanted them to be realistic, too. i try to make them have typical human reactions to things like their daughter not coming home when she said she would, although at the same time, y/n isn’t exactly a typical kid, she’s a highly trained soldier, which is hard for her parents to balance. honestly i feel so bad for them because they deserve better…then again who doesn’t in this fic HAHAHA

- thank you!! i wanted to show that she’s doing her best to find coping mechanisms, and even if they’re not foolproof, they help at least a little. slowly but surely she’s finding a new sort of normal which is super important i think. this arc (which is actually almost finished!) and the next are mostly about the trio recovering from athyae so there’ll be a lot of finding little things that help them get through each day. i think a lot of the time the lasting impacts of things like war are glossed over in fiction and for some stories it works but ship in the harbor is one where i really want to show the effects it has on the characters! although there’s a lot of plot in the story, it’s also very internal/character focused, so i thought it didn’t make sense for y/n to do what she did in athyae and just bounce back immediately and be perfectly fine yk?? which is why there’s literally going to be ten chapters of just her mental state improving (amongst other things ofc)

- HAHAHA I MISSED THE TRIO TBH!! the three of them haven’t been together for a while, and the last time was on the train from athyae to liberio so y/n was in a VERY different headspace — it was immediately after her mirror-destroying mental breakdown LMAOO so there was minimal room for banter there. but they’re back with a vengeance now and thank goodness 😭 FRIEDRICH IS GENUINELY MY FAV CHARACTER EVER i think the way he’s the biggest y/n x colt shipper while simultaneously being totally in love with y/n is the funniest thing. the scenes with him and colt together are so much fun to write because they feed off of each other in such a strange way. honestly i think that the only time the boys act their ages is when they’re together which is so personal to me 😩 they really are best friends!! AND THEN YOU ADD IN Y/N AND IT’S JUST EVERY EMOTION POSSIBLE UGH I LOVE THEM TOO (but that won’t stop me from making them suffer)

- the little warrior candidates are so cute tbh!! i had a lot of fun describing them. even just through their looks i think you can tell a lot about their personalities! and i realized the alice/gabi parallels while writing and it made me so upset 😐 and the way alice was always jealous of y/n and now gabi idolizes her for being the “hero of athyae”…also the way y/n literally hates how she was in athyae and now she’s famous for it KILLS ME like no one is ever going to let her forget about it because they all think it’s so badass that she literally took down an entire country. meanwhile every time someone mentions athyae she gets actual flashbacks and has to leave 😭

- THE GRICES ARE THE SWEETEST BOYS EVER i think it was so funny when gabi was kind of shit talking colt and he was just like 😊 the entire time. canonically (i think it was mentioned as a fun fact at some point? which i just realized i didn’t do one for this chapter lol rip) all three of the trio are good with children but i think colt LIKES kids the most. he’d be such a good father one day ugh what a shame isayama killed him off 😒 keeping it undercover whether i’ll go the canon route w him or not 😁

this chapter felt like a breath of fresh air after everything w athyae and it was nice to write! i think that the impact of the more angsty/darker scenes is lessened when there’s no happiness to balance it out. for example — to me at least — hadrian and y/n’s ending was so much worse because we saw how happy she was with the amatas. that’s why i like showing occasional moments of happiness and lightheartedness with the trio!! it just makes it hurt more to read while knowing what’s to come 😈 and yes sith will get dark again soon (about six chapters from now, so the remaining chapter of this arc and then all of the next arc), but for now it should be pretty relaxing — more chapters like this one! because we all need time to decompress and recover from the entire defeat of athyae arc. also there just really won’t be many more “downtime” chapters after the next arc so i’m putting it all in now so that i don’t feel as bad about pretty much solely causing the trio trauma for like 65 chapters straight

AHH i’m so happy to hear you like my writing style! sith has been my longest ongoing story so it’s seen a huge evolution in my style, and i’m sure as i continue to write it will continue to evolve (we’re only about a quarter of the way through the story so it’ll definitely be some time before it’s finished which leaves plenty of room for development and improvement) the difference between the beginning and latest/ending chapters of the story will only grow, but i’m pretty happy with my style atm. i don’t like sounding pretentious or poetic for the sake of sounding poetic if that makes sense?? like i think some writers focus more on how pretty a sentence sounds instead of how functional it is, and although i do love pretty sentences, i think it’s important to also have them make sense and be comprehensible. i also love writing dialogue haha i think that’s what i get complimented on the most!! it’s just very fun for me to imagine entire conversations in my head…tbh sometimes writing dialogue feels more like i’m just transcribing what the characters are saying more than i am making something entirely knew up as weird as that sounds HAHA. but i’m glad you liked the chapter and thank you for reading!!

[sepublic]

To quote Dana regarding our new character;

“They are fun. Cute.”

“They don’t actually appear in the show.”

The first quote is making me reiterate my idea of the Collector as an adult, so maybe they ARE some sort of cosmic child who views living things as toys to collect. But also...

It’s possible Dana just means the Collector won’t appear in Season 3, because they were talking to their friend just before about how they’ve never seen Season 3. But I think this means that for the entire show, the Collector will only appear via flashbacks; Which makes sense, it’s possible they’re already dead of old age or other means.

...In hindsight I don’t know why I’m so surprised by this, considering it’s a possibility I’ve considered before. But yeah, the fact that Dana bothered to draw their face means that face WILL be seen, and we will learn more of the Collector regardless. Still, it’s a shame; Since Belos and the Owl Beast are alive, I was hoping the Collector was too, esp since they seem kind of otherworldly and thus theoretically not bound by physical age. And if King’s father did help Philip with the portal, and it wasn’t just an ancestor... Then given my idea of Luz/Eda/King parallels being made by a past trio, this would’ve fit into Philip/Collector/King’s father; Esp if you consider the idea that the Collector is a Clawthorne. So only having two of the OG trio show up is sad.

I also have to consider if the Collector would’ve made a present-day appearance had Season 3 not been shortened; Dana did mention how they naturally had to leave out a couple of plot threads, and leave some hanging ‘in the aether’. Perhaps there was a plan for the Collector to show up later in Season 3, but due to the show being shortened, the writers couldn’t make room for them, but still needed to account for the character that had been set up; So they had to write them as already (or at least presumably) deceased from old age, or some other reason like biting off more than they could chew (Belos and/or his curse beast perhaps). But if there’s ever room for a continuation, the writers might leave the lore just open enough for the Collector to make a present-day appearance in post-show canon, revealing they’re alive after all.

[dreamsclock]

(this is a bit of a c!tommy apologist neg rant but just a liiiiittle bit, you're good dont worry)

i cant be the only one that finds it weird how a lot of the fandom (cough cough mainly c!tommy apologists that have only watched his pov) babies c!tommy, c!tubbo and c!ranboo... like, i've seen so many takes being like "but c!tommy is just a child!! they're all kids and shouldn't have to deal with this!" and a lot of the times it's just a long way of saying they shouldn't be held accountable (cough, again. especially c!tommy) WHICH IS SO WEIRD bc they talk about it like tommy is 10 or smth but MANS IS 17 LMAO I GUARANTEE YOU HE HAS CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS?? and they'll say this and then immediately go and shit on c!jack WHEN HE'S LITERALLY JUST A YEAR OLDER THAN TOMMY?? i dunno dude it's just weird to see kdjgkj especially as a 17yo myself?? like imagine if when tubbo (and consequentially his character) turns 18 he begins to be given the same treatment as c!jack and will be bashed on for having nukes and shit krjgkdjrbg

i havent seen many ppl talk about this and im sure there are others who feel the same, so that's why i wrote this ask! sorry for the rant though kdjrgkdjg i hope you're doing well! :D

yeah no i completely agree with you !! there are such weird standards of what age excuses Bad Things and what age you become completely fucking irredeemable at LMAO

like ,, ok u wanna start talking about ages ?? (not you btw GENBGDKDH just a general ‘you’)

c!jack is months younger than me. 18. he was sent to hell + killed by his best friend + has his trauma ignored/mocked.

c!niki is less than older than me. 19. she had her home destroyed, lived under a dictatorship, lost her best friend and had to learn to heal by herself.

c!dream!! c!dream is three years older than me. three. he’s 21. which of COURSE makes him a completely responsible adult that totally has matured + has no reason or excuse to ever make a mistake or lapse in judgement ever /sarcasm

it’s like ,, at what age does the audience stop excusing your actions? yes, it’s shitty c!tommy and c!tubbo are so young and have been through hell. but ,, nobody in that server is older than 35 ?? only one person in that server is older than 30 ?? jfc that’s not old, and most of them are still in their teens or have just emerged from their teens 😭 they’re still so young LMAO

i think a lot of it has to do with younger fans who see age differently ig ?? like the other characters seem Old compared to the bench trio and there’s this expectation when you’re younger that by the time you’re 18 or 20 or 25 you’ll have everything sorted out, but then you HIT those ages and you realise ,, it’s so far from true. you make the same mistakes and you’re just as immature as the day you were before ur birthday LMAO, and i guarantee if cc!tommy had accepted cc!wilbur’s “ur in ur early 20s” then c!tommy would not be getting away with half the things he does ,, there’s such a weird standard

the tragedy of the smp is that they’re all young. there’s not a magical line between Kid and Adult, you know ?? ESP in the smp, where we already know the mechanics of the smp don’t apply quite the same as they do irl (mainly because people older than 30 exist irl LMAO)

i'm assuming it only happens when Lu is holding a photo (edit: I think it’s when they look at it? bc of the climax... unsure though) though because otherwise they could never hold hands and that'd be very tragic

ahem IS THIS A JOJO REFERENCE 

yooo episode 4 beginning already hitting hard. i love pain... hell yeah

oh. it wasn't real (maybe?). oh well pff- but still nice angst so.

first off, goddamn the angst of witnessing a death in those circumstances with his own trauma oh man ;-; second, thats a setup for main duo (trio?) separation if i've ever seen one (edit: :>)

it’s sobbing time

"i'll do it as a repayment for the milk tea you got me in the rain" "ah. the person who's buying it for you isn't me" me, trying hard to conceil my squealing bc this story is so much more than me having my gay goggles on: haha. aw. :)

THEY WENT OVERSEAS TOGETHER??? *ahem* haha. i am okay. 

AH it's coming together. I love it ohmygod Is Lu going to reject the case bc it's likely that she died oh man bc of CXS’s interference- 

aww man protecc cute but lies hhhhhh

DID- DID THAT GUY JUST USE THE K.O. TISSUE ON HIMSELF BC OF THE SMELL OH MY GOD HE'S SO DUMB idshjd

CHENG XIAO SHI YOU SUICIDAL MFER GET OUT OF THE SERIAL KILLERS CAR and of course the picture is from Emmas case OF COURSE god, CXS. i pray for your sanity in this already 

NO NO NO NO NO ARE THEY SYNCING UP TWO MURDERER ATTACKS RN OR AM I STUPID LU- OH GOD. OH GOD. OH GOD. I KNOW I SAID IT SEEMED LIKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS WAS SET UP BUT I DONT WANT IT ANYMORE- AHHH I LOVE THIS BUT AHHHHHH

oh it was a plan. okay epic. I would have liked to be informed about this more BUT EPIC. also can he appear where he wants??? or did they start the dive in the photo room. very confused. i was prepared for angst oh well.

the predestination paradox is confusing but wooo 

di-did i skip an episode what- (edit: yes, 5.5)

.......... i... i am... quite speechless. this better get a 2nd season. Why can't CXS get a bREAK holy shit

i know i wanted murder but I didnt even get real angst about it T^T what a mean cliffhanger. but interestingggg- seems they're not the only supernatural people around.

They better give me juicy angst if they’ll backpaddle on it.

.

idk why episode 5.5 exists as 5.5 and not as a regular episode, it also doesn’t really make sense between 5 and 6 / I don’t think it chronologically belongs there. I think it makes more sense before ep3, that is to say before the basketball-arc. Because it’s weird to have them accept a case when they originally wanted a break / the atmosphere is currently EH-

.

the time travel

I’m very confused about the time travel aspect of it... or well not really that, but moreso how they deal with the butterfly effect.

I think they use a sort of predestination paradox, i.e. their timetravels are already included in the present because they come from the future. This is evident in ShanShan’s case.

But I’m confused about it because doesn’t that technically mean that no matter what they change, it isn’t really going to change anything because it already happened that way bc the past includes their timetravels?

But that’s not the case because they sometimes also show an "original" version of the scene they change which implies it did at some point happen that way.

(SPOILERS) I'm concretely talking about ShanShan gushing about the message she got. Which is something we saw before they jumped. But at that point the message was already received so shouldn't what they see be what CXS does (i.e. sitting up, bruting(TM))?

I could accept the paradox of the present including the future time travel already for plot purposes but then they show stuff as if it didn't happen which then confuses me. Esp since we see the security cam picture Update to include CXS later.

The only way i could see it working with that is that... The timeline only "saves" the actions that CXS does IF they change something (i.e. ShanShan gushes but it doesn’t matter, it only matters if she diverted the attack or not. I wonder how she remembers that scene? She just blacks out, like after she drank too much?) - But even then his plotting was integral to it changing so i don't think it could just be ShanShan doing her thing as before and then once the attack happens it switches to CXS's iteration of the scene. And if there was an iteration where they travelled but didn't receive that message, wouldn't ShanShan be dead in the “first” iteration (I mean it’s not completely unlikely that we’re just in the 2nd iteration of the loop in the storyline)? And they would have never gotten that phonecall. Therefore i am just confusion shshsh, like the paradox in itself i can accept but I get confused about the “original way” things happened, especially because it doesn’t consistently jump into it in the middle of a paradox (the ShanShan apartment dive) vs. being the first loop (security camera in the child’s case, in Emma’s case I think it’s the first time Guang entered it so it’s possible CXS would have been on it even if he did it before he dived back -- though technically he checked it out when he denied the case too, so I do think it updated??).

Unless CXS was always on the security cam footage but the police officer seemed to only notice him after he jumped into it, which... confuses me.

I’M JUST CONFUSED AND I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH BRAINCELLS TO DEAL WITH IT.

It makes sense on some abstract plane of existence, I THINK- But i just. low brain.

.

final thoughts

I really loved it!! the emotional stuff hits quite heavy; I love how Emma’s case is a sort of throughline through the story, while also being a great pilot, showing off the dark themes pretty quickly.

I hope in s2 we can get more focus on the other characters as well! They’re nice but it does feel like the biggest focus is on CXS, which makes sense. I love how we get only small snippets of how their friendship came to be but I’d still like to see more of that; and of course see how the show deals with multiple supernatural forces (and if that person’s is also something photo-driven or if it’s only present spirit control).

I’m also not sure if they’ll backpaddle on the cliffhanger or if s1 was just the setup for a sort of saving someone timeloop. Which could be quite oof because the show established that death is a major note and all that :) (which does beg the question if red-eyes is a sort of corrective force? after all if it wasn’t for them, Emma would be alive... god,, i can feel the brainfuck already pff-)

Despite my confusion with the time travel it's moreso an exploration of people's lives more than it is a real twist-heavy time travel story anyway (I like how they actually use the mechanic of the time travels, i.e. the clapping, instead of the actual time travel as the finale’s solution!! bc that's much more easy to grasp and therefore feels more established and grounded to me than a purely big brain time travel solution).

Especially because while the existential/logic questions of the timetravel are very confusing, I think the story largely utilizes it in intuitive ways. I just think too much dsuhdjs

.

also the op is a banger *head bangs*

also-also I love that the OP can also be understood as “come back from the dive... back in time” as in... “Come back in time”, which... I guess he did not come back in time, huh TvT i’m hurting myself with this interpretation but I love it pff-

[jostenneil]

you’re doing a lot of park-west-harper besties trio talk on twitter so i was wondering: do you think raising children and still being super-heroes would ultimately bring wally and roy closer to each other? they’re already good friends but not each other’s #1 besties, so do you think this commonality would strengthen their bond?

i definitely think so esp given there’s an actual series of issues towards the end of volume two where wally asks for roy to look after the twins when something’s wrong with linda. knowing that roy is also a parent and knows what it’s like to raise a kid when you’re a hero would definitely give them more reason to bond and tbh of the founding titans i feel like wally growing close with roy makes the most sense anyway. he’s not as uptight as dick, i’m not sure why wally would have much reason to be super close with donna when dick and roy already are, and garth is as always in a weird sort of limbo with how writers want to portray his relationship with the titans. roy and wally to me feel balanced in the sense that wally is someone who grew up idolizing heroes whereas roy was one of the first members of the titans eager to escape the shadow of a legacy. and obv both of their desires lead them to very unorthodox places in their life but i feel like the way they both picked themselves back up after the disasters and made a home and family for themselves through sheer force of will and a kindness of heart really lent them to this sort of stability of character that they recognize and admire in each other a lot and that they know implies they can depend on each other to come through no matter what

Cordelia, Lucie, and the soul-crushing pain of a FriendBreakup(TM)

Breaking from my Malec-centric content for a sec to talk about the ladies of Chain of Iron because, of all the many broken hearts to come out of Chain of Iron, I wanted to SadRant for a sec about Lucie and Cordelia’s particular parting. 

These heroines have such different journeys throughout the series so far, but especially in CoI. Their interactions slowly peter out in the second book, and it hurtsss.

Lucie’s is a journey to understanding her Ghost powers, obviously. Particularly in relation to Jesse and how to un-ghost-ify him. This involves a growing relationship between her and Jesse (and by extension; Grace) and a growing distance between Lucie and essentially everyone else. Particularly between her and Cordelia. This girl is exhausted by the lies, half-truths, and sneaking around, and might not feel half so weary if she were able to confide in her parabatai-to-be. But she can’t. Which is just. So fuckin’ sad. But at least she can sort of confide in Grace.  Meanwhile, Cordelia’s dealing with fraught loyalties between her brother and her husband’s best friends. She’s coming to terms with the discovery that a father she’d once respected and sought justice for is actually a belligerent drunk who’d stolen her brother’s childhood and neglected their family for years. She’s entering into a (perceivably) loveless marriage with the boy she has (perceivably) unrequited feelings for and moving out of her home and away from her family to do so. Followed shortly thereafter by her father’s sudden reappearance and subsequent violent murder. She’s operating under a suffocating sense of ineptitude and failure at the hands of Lilith as well as a broken heart all on top of a crushing new distance between herself and her parabatai-to-be. (Which?! Holy shit?! I don’t know about anyone else, but never in my life would I be able to handle even one of these things without the support and love of at least one of my closest friends.)(I was so fucking stoked when Matthew swept her away for Platonic Paris Extravaganza. I just hope Cordelia actually gets to enjoy herself, because holy fuck does she deserve a little fun.)  All of which leads to page 589--one of the realest, blink-and-you-miss-it soul-crushing moments of the trilogy yet, in my opinion;

“It seems [Lucie and Grace] know each other rather well.”

“They do?” The surprise in Cordelia’s eyes was clear. She glanced away quickly, though. “Never mind, Anna. It’s not important.”

I THINK THE FUCK IT IS.

I don’t know how many of us are twenty-somethings who remembers exactly what it feels like to be a third-wheel to one of your best, most deeply beloved friends (esp as a teenager)...but damn, I sure do. That’s a mindplague unmatched by any breakup; it’s a completely different kind of hurt and betrayal.

But Cordelia swallows it down. Because Lucie’s the sole person who could’ve brought her comfort in that moment.

None of this is to say I didn’t enjoy Lucie’s journey or her arc so far. And none of this is to say I don’t want to see more of Grace in the next book, because I definitely fucking do--especially in relation to her burgeoning friendship with Lucie. (I loved their prickly 'are we friends or are we just kinda forced to trust each other’ thing. I love their mutual love for Jesse. I want their friendship to develop and evolve, because I think Grace, in particular, desperately needs girl friends. She has a lot to atone for, but I think she has such incredible potential as a Ride or Die friend.) 

But I also desperately want Cordelia to be re-embraced into Lucie’s confidence. I need Lucie and Cordelia to have the most epic makeups of any reunion we’ve seen yet; I’m talking week-long sleepover brimming with gossip and jokes and cake and heart-to-hearts. I need Lucie to become the trio’s fiery lynchpin. Because let’s be honest, James and the Gracelet are going to complicate things between Grace and Cordelia, and only Lucie knows the side of Grace that is as ruthlessly devoted to her brother as Cordelia is to hers. (Not to mention the fact that Grace would flourish under Cordelia’s mom-friend vibes. Imagine the chemistry between quicksilver, ruthless Grace and snarky-sweet Daisy. That’s a slytherin/hufflepuff ‘I would die and/or murder for you’ pairing if I’ve ever fucking seen one.) Mostly I just need Cordelia’s dreams to come true; for her to wield Cortana again, for her to become Lucie’s parabatai, and for her to be loved (which let’s be real she totally already is but we all know who she'd like to officially call “hubby”.) 

In conclusion, I love the Merry Thieves. They’re cute and fun. But as a girl who DEEPLY FUCKING TREASURES EVERY LAST ONE OF HER GIRL FRIENDS and DEEPLY FELT CORDELIA’S HOPELESS “I can’t be Lucie’s parabatai” confession, I so badly need that good good Cordelia/Lucie content and Cordelia/Lucie/Grace trio in the final book.

Aegis’ station of awakening is complete! The purples became pinks on accident but it looked cool so I kept it XD

Faces (anti-clockwise from the top) are: Terra, Ventus, Aer, her father (who I have yet to name but it’s going to be latin-ish I think), Sora and Aqua :)

symbolism/thought processes under the cut if anyone’s interested.

SYMBOLISM TIME!

My thought process behind the image of Land of Departure and the lightning is to portray her darkness residing as a different source to her light, but light always finding a way into her darkness. And the reasons why I used lightning as a light source within her darkness are 1. she uses lightning  and she’s powerful enough to summon a thunder storm in times of need, 2. her full name, Cataegis, is latin for Hurricane. And Hurricanes can have lightning involved - though it’ very rare and very dangerous if one does and 3. when you have a thunder storm with lightning in the middle of the night, it lights up a whole room. A whole house,  even, no matter that it’s brief, and it’s constant until the storm is gone  It’s how her light infiltrates her darkness, even at her lowest after the events of BBS. She always finds something. ‘Terra might be gone, but at least his will is still around.’... ‘Terra might have let Xehanort in, but he was too angry to fall completely.’ ‘Ven’s heart might be asleep, but he’s not dead’, ‘Aqua might have fallen into the realm of darkness but there’s always light in the dark. Even if it’s small.’ 'I might be struggling right now, but I have Aer and I won’t help my friends if I fall now.’ And then letter on, that light she uses to help others (esp Sora) keep their lights alive. She struggles but she’s too stubborn to give in. For her darkness isn’t inherently rage, but it feasts on her despair. And whilst she has hope, her despair can’t get a complete hold.

The fracture between the two images is like... heartbreak. A consistent ache.

The faces are the last time she saw them, so the BBS trio are oof, they’re the last expressions she remebered them making - despair, anger, sleep, that sort of thing. Aer’s got this confidence that isn’t at himself, but at Aegis - he believes she can do anything. He’s confident she’ll succeed. It’s also aimed at, well, all the guardians of light - “you guys are the only ones who can do this. So go out there, punch Xehanort for me, and save the worlds.” Her dad’s just... having a cuppa and Sora... is just Sora tbh.

dear hyunjin,

im doing fine here. how about you? gosh,, how long has it been? years? since we last talked to each other. i havent heard from you since. i would just like to say i still think of you sometimes, when watering the plants or dancing while making pancakes. sometimes i think you're here with me too, just being the pals we were. 

sometimes i'd see you out, just reading a book in the park or buying pasta sauce at the grocery store. it's nice to see you having a stable life. im not sure if you're still with her or not, but its good to know that you still have that large friend group. also! you're never gonna guess who im dating--

it's minho! do you remember him? the one that i used to hate,, uh yeah. he asked me out the other day- you may wonder how tf,,, i too do not know how tf but he gives the best hugs ever. he gave me the love i wanted from you. he stitched my heart back together after it broke,, i love him so much, jinnie..

it's snowing,, do you remember when we would skate on the frozen lake in front of your house? are your parents well? i wonder if your mother still has those earrings i bought for her birthday. i never told you this but your laugh and hers sound so similar. 

i would just like to say thank you, for everything. you were a big part of my life, up until now. when we see each other after this, we would just be strangers. maybe flash a little smile or give a little wave whenever we greet each other but nothing more. some memories of us would flow in every now and then but it'll just be a short teaser. well, i'll be going now. smile for me, okay?

taglist // @/noya-sannnn, @crvgio​ , @neo-shitty​

reply to be in my gen taglist!

[dreaming-of-assclass]

Anymore thoughts on the Irina Civil War AU? I feel like there's a lot of angst involved for Isogai since his best friend and fellow class rep are on the opposing side, as well as the Terasaka gang being broken up, and to a lesser extent the Artist Trio.

Oooooh a Civil War AU ask!!!!! Yes I have a lot more thoughts!

And oh yeah, Isogai is definitely having a hard time through all of this. They’re his biggest supports, and he’s fighting against them...he lowkey feels betrayed.

Just a recap: this is why Isogai is on the “leave” side

As much as he values class harmony and giving people second chances, his family is his first and more important priority. And the thing is, Maehara and Kataoka respect that. They understand. But just because they do, doesn’t mean that they’ll lose their own personal values to follow Isogai. I think these three, esp Maeiso, will learn a really important lesson of boundaries in their friendships thanks to the civil war.

Ah...the Art Trio...this is kind of interesting because it’s basically Okajima alone on his side, and Mimura and Sugaya on the other...

But, he’s already sort of a third wheel to them anyways. Like in general, he’s left out more often than he’d like to admit.

I definitely think seeing his friends on the other side would amplify that sense of loneliness...poor Okajima...this arc would be so angsty for him omg. To the point where I can see him lowkey wanting to change his mind just before it starts or something...

I’d like to say there’s a bright side where he can rely on his other classmates...but it’s kind of hard when most of the class doesn’t really take him seriously. He’s the pervert, the comedy, the moodmaker...If he actually were upset about being left out, would anyone notice?

Maybe that can be his positive aspect of the arc. He finally opens up about how he feels, and why being alone without his two other friend feels so shitty... And then his team changes up how they act towards him, and Okajima is not alone anymore UwU

As for the Terasaka gang...

It’s kind of simple, I guess. Terasaka, Itona, and Takebayashi are on the “stay” side because they themselves have betrayed the class in some way, and so they want to give Irina a proper new chance. To share the compassion that was given to them.

Hazama, Muramatsu, Hara, and Yoshida are on the “leave” side for overlapping reasons. Hara is overprotective of her classmates, and considers their safety most important. Muramatsu is really panicked ever since that night against Reaper...like I’m thinking bad anxiety. Yoshida and Hazama are supporting them, but also thinking more logically. There’s more pros than cons to Irina leaving.

So yeah...the squad is pretty divided. But I imagine Terasaka, Itona, and Takebayashi to be the types who are steadfast in their values. They’ll respect what their friends think, but they’re not changing their personal stance. They feel like they owe it to everyone to be open-minded, and have a new perspective.

Has some angst potential given their strong bond. But not too bad in my opinion, because of that reason. The squad are a family. They’ll always be there for each other. They’ve stood by each other for so long. One disagreement won’t change that at all. They’ll get through this and be stronger in the end.

Hope this explained ok! Thanks for asking! <3
