#Fringe Canon

the psychological horror created by Hasbro’s desire to sell more toys rather than honour the desires of the original creator resulting in an immortal alicorn princess of friendship doomed to watch her friends grow old and die without her is so interesting to me. by trying to cater to children more you have accidentally created a reality in which death of the main characters friends as she lives on for centuries is not just implied but confirmed. idk it’s fascinating to think about

what do you think about zora design? about past and current designs? how would you change it? actually!!! what are the zora (and other races) like in your sword of fate au???

got distracted by the second question. look at my little guys:

these are some of the current (working) designs!! from left to right it's sheikah, zora, hylian, goron, and gerudo! these aren't necessarily the average builds/designs for each race but they're the most important character from each race lol. sword of fate takes place really early-on in the timeline, so the culture and separation of races is still kind of loose especially among the humanoid races. the current generation of zora is basically the first generation to call themselves zora and attempt to establish a government or hold any authority alongside the other races of hyrule, and because they're kind of a young race i imagine they're less fishy and more invertebrate-like in this stage, hence my jellyfish princess! (her dad is a giant squid lol.) the sheikah are descendants of the original surface humans, whereas the hylians and gerudo are two seperate sects that both originally came from skyloft. the hylians built a few villages which each have their own distinct vibe while the gerudo took a more nomadic approach and roam the desert in small independently governed groups. The gorons are the most well-established race at this point, having been on the surface a lot longer than basically everyone else, and so they have a much stronger culture and shared identity than a lot of the other races that are still kind of getting their footing.

You know i totally believe if Stiles was a shifter, he'd be a werefox. I mean look at this face. I can see this foxness, he is a vixen

BUT IN THE SAME TIME in one episode of his life he looked like this. And this, he is freaking Bambi. He is not even a stag in firsts seasons, he is like a fawn

I can see some foxness here and some Bambiness there. So today i choose to live in a reality where Stiles is a fox in deer's clothes (who runs with wolves in sheep's clothes)(btw i don't believe in fics where Stiles turns into a wolf, HE DOESN'T STRIKE ME LIKE WOLF)

(full moon running with full shifted weres. wolves and fox. Stiles would chase their tails and bite their paws)

(one day I'm going to sit down and draw whole pack full shifted and this will be the day I die in peace)

HoH!Bakugou

A surprisingly large amount of MHA/BNHA content is dedicated to Bakugou going deaf from his quirk.

However, I’d like to point out that the body normally accommodates quirks. Therefore, him completely losing his hearing is kinda unrealistic.

I think what would happen is that Bakugou’s ears overcompensate. Basically, to prevent damage they just stop working lmao.

At the time of the explosion, his hearing stops. He is completely deaf.

Thirty seconds after the explosion, his ears start hearing really loud shit.

After a minute, he can hear mid-volume sounds.

By the two-minute mark, most of his hearing is restored.

By the five-minute mark, his hearing is completely fine.

However, multiple consecutive explosions leads to longer recovery time. This is because his ears brace for more explosions, and instead of powering up, then down and then back up takes too much time and energy. However, this also means he can lose hearing for a while after a fight. Hearing aids are an oncoming project for the Support Class. The current question is how to tell how much adjusting is needed per explosion.

(way too many) thoughts on the ahsoka show

It was fine? I was really afraid there would be something I hated. And there was nothing I hated. Sad but true that that’s the bar for new SW material atm.

I really liked ep5; ep5 will probably get a rewatch. I liked the casting. The visuals were pretty cool. Huyang was a treasure.

So we’re really going with “the Force is in everyone so everyone can use the Force if you just try hard enough”? I… kind of hate that. That somehow feels ableist of me to say. But this is a heckin fantasy universe I feel like some people Really Are That Special, y’know?

Exception that proves the rule: A Force-less Sabine is still VERY SPECIAL. In Rebels, she can hold her own in a fight just as much as Kanan or Ezra. She’s extremely competent without the Force. She’s somehow less competent in this show

She really is just the worst here in ways that I do not remember her being in Rebels. I guess arguably Ezra was the one with Terminal Protagonist Syndrome in that show? And she caught it from him before he left?

I feel like what this season WANTED to be about – and honestly it’s the lowest hanging fruit possible for a show titled “Ahsoka” – is the tension between Ahsoka’s past / her relationship with her master and her future / her relationship with her apprentice. But I don’t think they actually hit a balance there, because they just did not make her relationship with her apprentice very compelling. Three reasons for this:

1. My bias. There are very few things that start with “Ahsoka &” that would get my attention more than “Ahsoka & Anakin.” Feel like I’m not alone on that one tho

2. Established canon. It’s already an uphill battle because Ahsoka and Sabine don’t have much of a relationship in Rebels. I’m honestly not sure they ever have a conversation. I remember Sabine being like “wow she’s cool much cooler than my idiot adopted brother”, and maybe that would be a place for a mentor figure relationship to start, if Sabine weren’t already DROWNING in mentor figures. It’s not that they have nothing in common, they are just straight up not a focal point of Rebels S2.

Hey you know who canonically has latent Force abilities? And maybe needs some training? And whom Ahsoka would have a Complicated feeling about without even needing a prior established relationship? Someone with mutually incompatible daddy issues? Someone deep enough in the cultural zeitgeist she literally would need no introduction?

Yes I KNOW it’s never gonna be canon and I should just go back to AO3 but it’s RIGHT THERE HRRRRRGGGGHHHHH

3. But a lot of the issues with Ahsoka & Sabine as a focal point are of the showmakers’ own creation. You’re telling me they have a relationship now? Fine, CONVINCE me of that:

First they shoot themselves in the foot by not giving us any information about how Sabine became Ahsoka’s apprentice originally. Why did Sabine want to become a Jedi when she didn’t want that in Rebels? DID she want to become a Jedi? What did she want to learn from Ahsoka? Why did Ahsoka decide to take an apprentice at that time and not any time before or after? How did she feel about it? And why pick Sabine, who is, and this is true, Not Very Good at the Force? Who approached whom, or did they run into each other accidentally? I suppose answering some of these questions might require answering “where was Ahsoka between 3 BBY and 4 ABY?” and they aren’t ready to do that yet, but guys. GUYS. If you’re trying to tell me how Ahsoka and Sabine fix their relationship, you gotta tell me why I care first.

I know I'm harping but I really cannot emphasize enough that "fuck it I'm gonna go round two on Found Family" is an arc-defining character beat for both Ahsoka AND Sabine and the fact that the audience doesn't get to see it really makes me question whether the powers that be themselves know what it looks like

Then we get vanishingly little information about why they broke up, and all of it is provided by Huyang. And what I’m picking up from what we have is “Sabine got too Revenge Quest-y, and Ahsoka got nervous.” I don’t even know where to begin here – maybe with the fact that if Sabine decided to go on a murder rampage, she wouldn’t need the Force, lol. We know Sabine’s family died, she wanted to go to Mandalore, and Ahsoka didn’t want her to. So… did Sabine go? How did she end up back on Lothal? Who left who? Was Ahsoka worried for Sabine’s safety, or that she was getting too Dark Side-y, or both? What juicy terrible intergenerational-trauma-driven things did they say to each other when they broke up? I want to compare and contrast this with Ahsoka leaving Anakin, but I do not have the information to do so because there are zero details and the info we DO have is from ANOTHER CHARACTER. Again, if this season is about this relationship, TELL ME WHY I CARE.

To me this is the same cardinal sin as Picard S1 – implying that some really interesting stuff happened when the audience wasn’t watching, and that it explains why the characters are behaving the way they are, and then… not disclosing that information. EXCEPT PICARD GAVE US MORE THAN THIS fjdghjfghjkhkd

I was not on Tumblr when I was watching Picard S1. Probably for the best.

But okay, they have a history, the show is gonna be about them, sure let’s move on. AND THEN THEY SPEND LIKE HALF THE EPISODES NOT EVEN IN THE SAME GALAXY. The time they do spend in the same room is 75% generic sniping. As someone who came into this way more invested in the Ahsoka & Anakin relationship, ep5 was very much NOW BACK TO THE GOOD PART

And the couple of beats they do have together have me going HUH? After ep2 I spent most of a day debating myself on whether there’s a missing scene, between Sabine getting stabbed and waking up in the hospital, where we see Ahsoka actually REACT. On one hand, Ahsoka would be upset, maybe we as the audience can fill in the gaps and we don’t need to spend time on it. On the other hand, maybe we do, tho? At the time I was thinking about how we haven’t seen Ahsoka truly emotionally vulnerable since TCW with the exception of “Shroud of Darkness” and maybe “Twilight of the Apprentice.” She has a very normal range of emotions, and she expresses them in very controlled ways, and I just wanna see what she looks like when that breaks down, ya know? What’s weird to me is that in ep4 when Ahsoka thinks Sabine is dead we do get this beat; she gets Real Mad there for a second. So maybe what we’re learning is it was a double beat and they should have cut the stabbing thing entirely I mean come on they had to have known they were gonna catch flack for that. Then again, having that moment shows the audience that Ahsoka does give a shit, more than she wants to admit and more than she typically shows Sabine, which is a fun compare/contrast with Anakin, and it might have given me a better understanding of the relationship if it had come earlier.

The other big beat is Sabine deciding to help the baddies. That is just such a devastatingly terrible decision. So bad, in fact, that I feel like we’re supposed to be drawing parallels to Anakin. Their whole “screw over the galaxy to save one person” thing. Except 1) Sabine is not Anakin and 2) in order for that to be interesting, Ahsoka needs more information than I think she has. She knows Padme died around the same time Anakin totally lost his shit, and that’s about it. Which is actually a fun little thought experiment: what assumptions does Ahsoka make about the causality there? The only people who could have given her more intel are Palpatine, Obi-Wan, and Vader – unlikely. So IF the show is about the lines between Anakin and Ahsoka and Sabine, Sabine’s choice here could be central to that, and crucially to Ahsoka’s understanding of that, except it’s just for the audience I guess?

I do really like that Ahsoka’s extremely chill about what Sabine did, though. Ahsoka “Eh Shit Happens” Tano. Somehow her lesson from all this is “masters support their apprentices literally no matter what. Citation: Mine did.” That’s an unhinged take and I expect nothing less from my blorbo.

WHICH IS WHY WE SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST GOTTEN A FLASHBACK TO THE SITUATION IN WHICH AHSOKA DIDN’T SUPPORT SABINE HRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

I realize that I’m really tearing into this thing pretty much just for not being something it isn’t. Like, it’s not BAD. But maybe its weaknesses stem from not committing to being about any one thing. It’s kind of about intergenerational trauma, it’s kind of a Rebels Part Two, it’s kind of a Filoniverse installment, it’s kind of a worldbuilding exercise. And that’s not necessarily too much material for an 8-hour show. It’s more like the powers that be DECIDED that was too much material.

TLDR, footage of me after pretty much everything star wars that’s come out since the Disney acquisition:

TW: Graphic depiction of violence.

--

Gus sat at one of the bar stools as he waited for David, who had walked off, telling Gus that he'd be right back.

The bar was dimly lit and intimate. Subtle, yellow lights were hanging low, lighting up the whole place just like Gus preferred. He liked in this place a lot. He would visit here often and was even familiar with some of the waiters.

He wasn't used to being with someone, though. Usually, he just drank alone and enjoyed the solitude.

Tonight, it was different. Sitting with David, the bartender, and admiring different types of red wines made it feel like a date.

Now that was a first, he thought as he straightened his grey jacket. First in a very long time - after Max's death. Murder, he corrected himself and clenched his hand in a fist.

Once again, for the billionth time in a single day, that afternoon flashed before him as he closed his eyes.

He and Max pleading the Salamancas and Don Eladio without caring about their own dignity. Begging them to start with the meth business instead of cocaine across the US - Mexico border, so they could have an exponential boost in the business.

When a difference in opinion erupted between them, Eladio ordered Hector Salamanca to kill Max, which he did. Right on the spot.

The gunshot sound still rang through Gus's ears even today. Vividly.

Hector's bullet entered Max's temple and exited through the other side of his skull and all Gus could do was sit and stare in horror.

Gus couldn't do anything to save his long-time lover and partner. Everything had happened in a heartbeat. Max was bleeding to death, his blood pouring from his skull into the swimming pool water like a fire hose.

Gus blinked rapidly as he remembered that he was forced to stare into Max's eyes as the light went out of them and he died. Eladio had tackled Gus to the ground and was pressing him against it, as he forced Gus to watch Max die near the swimming pool.

Gus came back to the present, took a deep breath and swallowed.

Gus had never dated anyone after Max. Not ever. From that day, he'd sworn he would kill every single person in the Salamanca cartel as revenge on Max's behalf. Max deserved it. Gus owed it to the ten years of history they'd had together as partners.

For that, Gus had decided to start his own thing with the meth business years ago. He'd started to run Los Pollos Hermanos too, on the side, as a cover to the meth business, initially. He had to take care of the fast food chain alone, unable to do it with Max as he'd planned.

Presently, fourteen years later, the meth business had turned into an empire, and he'd opened ten outlets of Los Pollos Hermanos in Albuquerque.

Gus placed his forearms on the platform in front of him and sighed.

He dreamed of the day when he wouldn't have to deal with Eladio as his authority anymore, and could be free from the Salamancas' prying eyes.

That's when he would kill them all in one go.

Hector Salamanca was the last person he was going to take out. Gus would like to torture him first, the same way Hector had, all those years ago.

For now, Gus decided that he was too busy in his life to invest his time in dating.

David was a nice guy, and Gus would have liked to know him better, but he thought that David shouldn't be involved in the criminal work. What if he ended up in a similar position as Max? Gus could never handle all that emotional turmoil the second time.

Also, his schedule didn't exactly allow him to go on dates regularly. It would only distract Gus from his aim and he simply couldn't afford that.

His devotion to Max's memory was too strong.

Gus turned around, still seated on the stool. "Would you let David know that I've been called away?" he asked Brett, one of the waitresses in the bar.

"Of course, Mr. Fring," she said with a smile.

"Have a good evening." Gus smiled back, albeit a bit tightly.

"Thank you." Brett walked off to make drinks for other patrons in the bar.

Gus got up to leave the place too, with only one person in his mind and heart: Maximino Arciniega. His Max.
