Lestappen for ship ask meme?

dawg u did NOT. okay okay, how Thought are we talking here bc. Yeah .

but… thing Is i've done a million quadrabajilion rambles on this site already.... how much more can i do i hear exactly 0.012 people ask. answer:

A Lot.

firstly, the tropes. the dynamics. the Classics u know the ones. ROLL CALL, we got: enemies to tentative acquaintances to friends to lovers, idiots in hate to idiots in love we got red and blue we got 2 sides of the same coin, he fell first i fell harder, slow burn slug burn sloth burn, the opposite of love is not hate it is indifference, he is more myself than i am, whatever our soles are made of his and mine are the same, we have fucking GOT.

secondly, the fukin. the pure Development??? of their relationship like im screaming into my hands rn no lie i fucking Love their development. the amount of Respect that exists between them, breathes like a living thing bc are you surprised by the pace of charles today? uh.. not really (internally: bitch??? why tf wd i be- ) he's a naturally skilled driver. that's always something you can admire. who do you think will win the wdc this year? i think max. i know how strong he is. (😃🔫)

thirdly, the History. they could fill libraries with their shared past, thoughts about each other (prbly more sharl about max, that boy deffo knows a Hate Boner), races, inchidents (WHICH btw max and charles both saying 'we've had moments' - as in plural???? hello????? HELLO-- ) and they talk about it to, they say in the end, we have been doing this for so long and i want to beat him as much as he wants to beat me. that's the way it is and the way it has always been. which also btW fits nicely into pt2 of Respect and that's on part four-

FOURTHLY, yknow when u try to hold convo with some1 n they just. Lack. like, ur tryna have a Good Time but its like chucking micropipettes of water at the goddamn sahara. yeah that = Sucks. Then we have maxnsharl: This Post. 'we were once in the round of free practice. the drivers were rolling the engines. but charles and max found themselves close together, began to push and almost focused, risking throwing each other out-' . and my tags: #the thought of them always pushing each other#always meeting one another move for move mind for mind#they Wanted competition they Found it in each other#and here it’s that Fire that Spark that Flame that PeePoo Racer Brain#they fanned that in each other…

fifthly, the Spec. the goddamn Spec. spectrum, if you will. how they go from ruthless on track, not an inch given bc they don't Do that, they're not Like that. and then they go from That to licheral heart eyes soft looks tender touch. softwiltedcabbage dot img as i Love to say bc it's True.

and sixthly, finally, climactically before eye fill an entire library: the SEX. dawg.. have you Seen. have u Ascended. bc i have . illegal.

.

seventhly i hate them theyre actually the worst ship on the grid. gross disgusting misaligned. votes for taken out back and shot: 1 (tumblr user xiaoluclair).

002: Jonas Quinn!

002 | Give me a character & I will tell you

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

I WISH HE FUCKING STUCK AROUND INSTEAD OF BEING YEETED INTO FUCK KNOWS WHERE BC MICHAEL SHANKS' GRAND PLAN TO BECOME A BIG NAME ACTOR DIDN'T PAN OUT.

And he shouldn't gone to Atlantis with clone Jack

my OTP:

Jonas/Evan would be so cute. Jonas/Clone Jack just so OGJack would be like....idk how to feel about this.

my cross over ship:

Jonas and Evan Buckley can be sunshine and Jonas would make sure Buck is happy.

a headcanon fact:

Jonas is smarter than Daniel but he doesn't like letting people know bc it makes him feel bad if they feel bad.

How I feel about this character:

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

Evan, Clone Jack, Rodney could be fun if done right, OOO RONON? What abut Ronon? The two of them bonding over losing everything and books.

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

Sam, theyre siblings.

My unpopular opinion about this character:

None bc is is a CINNAMON ROLL TOO PURE FOR THIS WORLD AND THE OTHERS

[nobodywritingao3]

Hi!

Just re-read all of your fics and I just wanted to say that I love your writing style so so so so so so very much!!!!!!!!

Cookies? 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

-✨anon✨

(btw if I'm allowed to ask, why did you change your user to nobody?)

thank you so much! :D its really nice to hear that people like my style

:3 cookies! have some warm ramyun, sparkly sparkly anon 🍜

as for the nobody thing, mildly incoherent ramble below:

the short of it is that people on ao3 are getting a little weird with me and i needed to put some space between me and the fandom

(tumblr people, you are all sweet and nice dont worry this isnt really you)

i posted a chapter and i got like five messages saying stuff like "i hate the characters" "this chapter pissed me off" "did anyone else wish that the ending was different?" i moderated the comments on the fic and people started leaving me comments under other fics that were in the same vein of criticism. criticism is fine, i want to be clear, but that kind of talk is inappropriate for the context. im not a content creator, or someone mass producing entertainment, and when people leave me comments, i actually get emails from ao3. so i got like 5 emails that were just "fuck these characters" and nothing else. im not a public figure, im a fellow fan, im just Some Guy posting silly fanfiction on the internet, but people are starting to treat my stuff like its """"Content"""" to be discussed and critiqued and analyzed.

these messages came from people who enjoyed my writing. they left kudos and bookmarks and when i interacted with them, they were respectful and tried to banter with me. these messages arent coming from trolls, theyre coming from people who like my stuff, and honeslty that kind of made it worse.

my stories usually get very positive feedback. for context, heres my stats

the numbers say theyre doing well and i tried not to internalize the negative comments im getting but its overwhelming.

im a clown, not a jester. my first and foremost intention is to entertain myself, not to entertain other people.

so i yeeted the rose name and im trying to transition into a more anonymous removed state because thats kind of the way people on ao3 are viewing me and for my own sanity im just going to comply. i started deleting negative comments and i think im done responding to people on ao3 unless it's someone i know and like or the message really touches me.

the name change isnt really a Tumblr problem, its an AO3 problem. when i have time to sit down, ill be fixing my tags and stuff to reflect the Nobody name.

but yeah. overly complicated reason that im now Nobody.

[sl33pyperson]

[akkivee]

i made a cross a line live blog post where i rewatched the live and made a bullet point each time i was dYInG needless to say if i posted that it would probably be almost as long as the classically infamous ‘do you love the colours of the sky’ post lol so i limited myself to ONE (☝️) point about each section:

[hearthandheathenry]

everyone supposedly has an fs and soulmate yada yada yada but if we havent met ours and if we dont care to really date anyone would it matter if we passed away early, like would our fs or soulmate feel it? do we have to have our lives put together in order to form the connection with our fs?

so many ppl including relatives and cousins either have their lives put together or theyre certainly doing something right and they have all either got their partners or careers and im just like how is that not happening for me then i question if i even want that and then i think well it doesnt matter cause i will die eventually so whats the point?

honestly im not fussed abt existing these days, like im not anyone special i dont have a need to achieve things anymore, used too but then i said fuck it and gave up on trying to exist and succeed. its always something like im either at the wrong place or wrong timing or some other situation in the past that held me back from going for something, or i just lacked what i needed to succeed or im too old not young enough not pretty not rich enough its always that im seemingly not something enough and if life is always abt trying to be a people pleaser instead of pleasing ourselves then im done lol. i will gladly yeet myself out of society and into heaven if i have too as thats probably the only point where id be truly happy as i wouldnt have to do anything ever again and i would never have to feel regret or shame for not having my life put together at this age.

sorry for ranting but im just so over being a person, it has severly sucked. wouldnt recommend instead be a rock in ur next life if there even is a next life, if theres a next life then i would also be done with that full stop too. and the thing about soulmates or even trying to get a partner is its yet another thing that you have to be almost attached to them 24/7 like friends where people can and will dissapoint you over and over and a lot of people will pretend to like you then only want something from you for their benefit so again whats the point when wanting a partner or even a social group? but if we donr have that we are never going to be on anyones radar anyway? might as well not bother with any of it tbqfh.

again sorry for ranting but either i want to not feel like i lack so much even in skills or talents and most times i just want to be a nobody oh wait thats what i already am haha.

Woah! First and foremost, I want to tell you that life is worth living and your life matters. Truly. For no other grand reason but that you are YOU and your purpose is being here, or you wouldn't exist. The universe has a reason for you to be here, or multiple reasons, and you matter, even if you struggle to find that reason(s). And please, let me know if you need help finding resources for mental health.

Second, I think a lot of people feel all these things, and I definitely have felt this way in the past. Maybe sometime I'll write my life story and how things have changed over the years or something, idk. BUT, you are not alone, and there is help out there and ways to make your life better, no matter your situation. Your life could be complete crap and you would still be able to turn it around. I am a firm believer in this.

The caveat, though? Its your choice, and your hard work that makes your life what you make it. We are all given different circumstances but just because we are born in some mud doesn't mean we have to wallow in it. The happiest and most fulfilled people have made the active choice to pull themselves out of their depression and habits and have changed themselves and their lives through emotional and physical labor. Life is not easy. It never claimed to be. THAT SAID, though, life is easier the more aligned you get with the universe and everything around you, and is truly breathtaking, and that comes with healing and changing. You learn psychology (how to take control of your mind), the ways of the world (how to build a support system and community), the metaphysical ways of the world and things we can't explain (some people call this spirituality or religion), and a past time that you genuinely enjoy (some people call this a purpose or sometimes its just a way to make money/survive), and you end up creating a life for yourself that you enjoy. That is the secret to living a happy life. Not higher education, not certain jobs, but honing in those skills will unlock the (seemingly) secret of being happy and will help lead to everything falling in place. A support system is usually the first step because figuring ourselves out is hard and we will need support, then we start mastering our minds and thoughts, and then we usually move onto spirituality to help us answer things our logical mind can't explain, and then we usually find our purposes or things that make life worth living. Things that truly make us glad to be alive.

We all reach a breaking point in our lives (anyone heard of the famous midlife crisis?) and are then given a choice of what we want to do. Usually there's truly no way but up, because the other option is to simply give up and not live. And we, intrinsically, really do want to LIVE. Maybe just not the life we were living. So we get help. Professional help. We reach out to our loved ones and figure out who we can actually rely on when we're at our worst. We build our support network while we work on our minds with the professionals. We start our journey of mastering our minds and working in conjunction with our bodies again instead of giving up. We work on our anxiety, depression, mental issues, and stop overworking ourselves and ignoring our body's signals for rest or change. And then we're left with other questions and needs, so we start delving into spirituality and religion. We start looking at the world around us and society in a different light, because obviously the way society trained us isn't working. The system doesn't work. It wasnt made for spiritual beings, it was made for work drones. And humans are not work drones. Some people find solace in certain religions. Some people just adopt different spiritual practices. We all answer our questions in different ways. We're all living in our own realities and through the lens of our own minds that are wired differently. And then our community and support networks grow. And our minds grow. And our abilities grow. And we start to see these little glimmers of hope of why we like being alive. We look at things in a new light. And then maybe we finally see our purpose, the one outside of just being (which is our main purpose), and, big hint, it usually has something to do with helping others for a lot of people. It is almost never a specific job or title or actual act of doing something. Its an idea. A construct. Maybe we were made to help teach others. Maybe we were made to bring joy to others. Maybe we were made to create with others. Maybe its all these and more. It usually has something to do with connecting with others, which is where we all find the most happiness. Being seen and heard. Helping others be seen and heard. Making a difference, finding meaning. Our hearts and our minds know the plan long before we realize it.

We all have the power to get here. But its a choice. And its a tough one. But its one every single one of us is capable of making. We start by choosing ourselves. By choosing to love ourselves. By radical self love and compassion. And once we choose ourselves, then we can start connecting with others in a more meaningful way, instead of people-pleasing or living for others wants or wishes. We need to be authentically ourselves first. It all starts with you. The real you deep down.

So, I do not have the answers to the questions you ask. The philosophical questions you brought forth is different for everyone, because everyone believes something different. What I say doesn't matter if it does not resonate with your truth and your reality. And no one truly knows these things or has the answers until we have left this world, and the fun part about life is experimenting and trying to figure out the questions while we're here.

What I will say, is finding the answers is easier when you don't skip steps. You seem to have a lot you need to ask yourself before asking others, and finding what matters most to you and figuring out why you have the questions you do and what that means mentally and emotionally. I sense a lot of anxiety and depression and anger and grief and self confidence issues, which will get in the way of a lot of things you are talking about achieving or have questions about if they are not processed and addressed. These are all normal things to deal with, but still things that need to be dealt with.

I could rattle off my own personal opinions about everything you ask, but again, it will not resonate with you if its not for you, and the mental blocks will still be there even after.

Having answers to things does nothing for us if we do not know how to use the information given to us.

Work on yourself and learn how to use information to make changes, and you will start to understand more about the world and things in it, even unseen.

The information I've given above tends to ring true for everyone I've encountered in life thus far, no matter age/gender/race/etc. People just figure it out at different ages and stages in their lives. But even religions tend to agree on these necessary steps taken to reach a higher place in our lives. I hope that it's helpful enough to start you on your journey towards everything you want, and lead you to a life that makes sense for you and one that you find happiness in.

(Adding this post to my pinned list under "How To Find Happiness" for anyone else who may need to hear this information)

who wants to make one of tolkien's most important works more accessible to interested movie fans who aren't really up to reading the silm but have genuine interest in lotr's backstory when inSTEAD we could make a white cis male narrative that absolutely NO ONE asked for

irt marius has an ankle tattoo HE HAS ONE IT IS VISIBLEEEE

okay so @kamiaka left this reply on that post

Okay but what if it’s a matching tattoo of some kind? Like…with Giann 👀✨ Apparently both of them were really close (plsIjustneedvonhagenbrotherlylovecrumbs)

and now it's BASICALLY CANON TO ME. YES. ABSOLUTELY. I BELIEVE THEYRE VERY CLOSE and that marius we see now misses him so frigging much and will stop at nothing to find giann. but enough about present angst bc it's time to go into the past

yes marius and giann have matching tattoos and heres how they (emotionally) end up getting it

wc: 1.5k

i imagine it goes like. at 15, marius is on a mission to get as MANY PIERCINGS as he can before he goes off to study in Florence. and giann is stressed because okay yes piercings are deffo safe in 2030 as long as u get them done by a professional and marius does get them by a professional! and that bolsters his confidence to go get a tattoo as well because hello?? art on the body??? thats FANTASTIC!!!!

but marius is 15 and hasnt gone thru his insane growth spurt yet (i hc it happened from 16-18 years old) and most sane professionals are NOT gonna tattoo a tiny little tyke, ESPECIALLY NOT A KID WHO IS VERY OBVIOUSLY THE YOUNGEST VON HAGEN, THEY DONT HAVE A DEATH WISH.

(bc listen, by this point in marius' life, giann is 25 and im sure hes made himself quite the bigshot in the business sphere. commanding, confident, friendly, but very much still hiding the snake fangs that everybody in his family has. fiercely protective over his kid brother, too. mess with the kid and ur gonna go bankrupt for generations.)

so yea marius is going into tattoo parlors with a facemask and hoodie as if that makes the DISTINCTIVE PURPLE EYES any less frigging noticeable. and so with every tattoo artist who turns him away, marius gets more and more frustrated and so hes like "fine!! i'll do it myself!!" and since he knows he wont be able to purchase a real tattoo machine since itd get delivered to the house and somebody might open the package (austin and giann are JUST as nosy as marius ends up being when hes older), marius just decides to fuckinnnn

stick n poke himself

which, when done correctly and cleanly, is fine!!

but marius is 15 and stupid and FRUSTRATED and he disinfects NOTHING. giann's "my baby brother is doing something monumentally idiotic" radar pings like crazy at some point, 2am of a saturday, and he just YEETS outta bed and finds marius in the bathroom about to stab himself several times with NOT DISINFECTED ANYTHINGS!!!

marius gets scolded so much and hes not taking it well because shut up!! shut the fuck up!!! he just wants this and if he cant get it he needs to take matters in his own hands and also please dont tell dad because he'll go "im not angry, im just disappointed" which sucks because disappointed hurts MORE and youre better because at least youre actually angry and----

giann, sighing: im not angry, you idiot. im worried. come on, let's go

marius: go? where?

giann: someplace where you can get a tattoo without the hepatitis

2:30am and marius is in the passenger seat of giann's car, excited but also confused because why? whys giann doing this? sure, it's a weekend but surely hes got more important shit to do than indulge his moron brother. but sometimes marius asks himself questions he doesnt want answers to (because what if giann answers "yes"? whatll marius do then but just shrink into himself so that giann never has to deal with him ever again), questions hes scared to get answers to, so he shuts up and just lets himself look forward to this.

he lets himself squawk when giann jokes around and reaches over to ruffle his hair, lets himself give giann a fucking headache by hooking up his phone to the aux cord and playing music he loves that giann cant stand (i currently have no hcs on marius' taste in music, will revisit later), he lets himself go quiet at some point. when a single red light stops them at an intersection, marius looks out the window, at the city asleep and the both of them awake, and part of marius feels like as long as he's got giann with him, everything will always work out.

3:00am they get to the tattoo parlor (and shhhh the parlor is open all hours, idk, theres a LOT of shifts) and giann has a friend there whos an artist, very lovely woman and shes like "heyyy, finally gonna get that serpent design i showed y----OH MY GOD, GIANN, THAT IS A CHILD."

marius, offended: IM FIFTEEN!!!

her: YES. A CHILD. I JUST SAID.

and giann asks her this as a favor. she'll get paid, duh, but the favor here is to just close her eyes at the fact that yes, marius is a child. hell, giann tries to do puppy eyes and they SUCK (marius does it so much better) and she rolls her eyes and agrees because it's obvious that giann just wants to give the world to this kid.

and the way marius is going through her design portfolio with a twinkle in his eye, well---and marius comments on her wonderful command of colors and how she makes sure that no matter the skin tone, the design is always striking and bold---well, that seals the deal. he's deffo somebody who understands the beauty of wearing art on one's skin.

she agrees tho on the condition that the design he picks is a simple one thatll only take one visit, tonight's visit, bc if she has a kid coming back here often, thatll be sketchy. and marius is like ok and he picks the solid black inverted triangle design we see in the linked post above. alls well and good until she asks "cool, where do you want it?"

marius: ankle

her: oh jesus fucking christ

so, context!!! ankle tattoos fucking hurt severely!!! generally, places near bones likely has more nerve endings, and thus hurt very much. less nerve endings are found in places with more fat, and thus are less painful. theres some exceptions to this rule here n there tho, so heres a nifty chart!!! (bc who knows, maybe you, dear reader, want a tattoo. i come from a family of tattoo lovers and my dad has tattoos on backs of both his hands and MANNNN the way he was in agony. fantastic shit to watch)

huh, where was i? OH YEAH. ANKLE. tattoo artist explains to marius that hes signing himself up for a WORLD OF PAIN and hes like "yeah idc" and he doesnt even have a ~profound~ reason for why he wants the ankle, he just thinks it's cool (which is def reason enough, doesnt have to be deep, with tatts, live ur life!!) so he doesnt care

but GIANN DOES

giann: for the love of god, get it somewhere less painful, please

marius: nope! :3

giann: IM NOT WATCHING U CRY

marius: iM!!! NOT GONNA CRY!!!!!

giann: YES YOU WILL!!!

marius: it'll be fine, youre worrying too much. geez, it's as if youre getting the tatt instead of me. i'll be the one to feel it, 'kay? dont make it your problem

giann, groaning: fuck off, im making it OUR problem

and marius watches just absolutely befuddled and awed as giann rolls up his pants cuff and settles down to get the same tattoo design in the same place with marius.

the tattoo artist is impressed and touched. shes been wanting to get giann tattooed for years, she even made him a killer serpent design, but all those years of nagging never worked. what worked was marius. because giann will always give in to that kid.

tattooing time!! marius indeed doesnt cry, where the HELL did this 15 year old get such a high pain tolerance???? giann does shed a few tears tho. and it's hilarious to marius but he lets giann squeeze his hand whenever he needs to.

when it's all done, they both gingerly walk back to the car (ankle tatts r near the bone so walking is gonna have to be gentle for a while) and when theyre in there, marius feels his question from earlier bubble up again.

why did giann do this? whyd he bring marius here when hes so busy? whyd he get a tattoo with marius when he didnt want to for years?

marius doesnt ask. hes too scared of the answer. but giann knows his little brother like the back of his palm.

he reaches over and pats marius on the head a few times and says "anything you wanna do, kid, i'll always have your back."

and so they go home and marius remembers that. giann will always have his back.

he remembers that years later when giann goes missing

and all of a sudden

nobody is in his corner anymore

(bonus: that tatt design the artist made for giann? the serpent? marius gets it on himself at some point, starting from his back shoulder blade and curling up and over to settle its head close to his collarbone. a protective kind of position, wrapped around him and close to his heart.

he gets it not as a eulogy, but as a promise he isnt going to break. hes going to find giann and giann will be okay. he needs to believe this.

because believing otherwise will destroy him)

God I’ve had so many Thoughts about SRK as a trio since kh3 and they’ve gotten more and more negative with time and hindsight (not to mention melody of memory) and I need to put them here.

It goes without saying that I’m really sick of how they seem to be completely allergic to including Kairi in Anything In Any Way At All. Looking back there were so many moments in kh3 where Kairi could have at least been there but just wasn’t, probably thanks to the lame ‘training’ excuse. She could have been there to help get Aqua out of the realm of darkness; they lost contact with Riku and Mickey, wouldn’t it have been better to have all hands on deck?? She (and Riku tbh) could have been there with Aqua and Sora to get back Ven, like literally it would have been near the end of her and Lea’s training anyway and there was nothing else that needed doing by that point why the fuck was it only the trinity and Aqua doing that, god. If they wanted Riku and Kairi, or at least Kairi could have gone with Sora all of kh3 to get stronger with him, like she was literally training too why couldn’t she have just gone with him instead of doing merlins thing? Lea too cause why the hecc not.

And it’s not like the dynamics between her and characters other than Sora aren’t there, because they absolutely are, and practically write themselves, as we’ve seen from the scraps they have given us! Particularly with Riku and her, like there was so much good potential way back in kh1 for interesting dynamics with them. Kairi being a reason Riku wanted to visit the outside world and being a reason he was using the darkness in the first dang place and all the trios insecurities around being good friends and being wanted by the others and Kairi being brought back to the place she grew up as an infant and it’s all just there! Completely untouched since heccing 2002!

We could have an entire game with Riku and Kairi with them just working everything out after kh1. And kh3 too tbh, cause that gave some good angst potential too, with like Riku being left alone again and having to watch one of his best friends fall asleep again? But nope Kairi was just woken up as easily as she was yeeted off to sleep with barely a peep out of Riku or her about the whole thing.

It’s just so noticeable the biases they have towards characters when you have Sora and Kairi, two characters treated vastly differently by the narrative, in such close proximity with each other. Everything they’ve done for Kairi’s character was done so that they could make excuses for why she couldn’t be relevant, and everything they’ve done for Sora’s character was done so they could make him pretty much always relevant. In melody of memory that scene where Sora astral projects to be there to fight Xehanort instead pains me so so much. Because like for one, how did he just do that all of a sudden? Kingdom hearts does has this thing where it just lets plot happen while glossing over the details, and that is legitimately fun, it lets them just do more fun things with the story, but it’s so frustrating when they do it purely to end feminism. Like I don’t care if she had never held a Keyblade before by that point, if Sora can literally be copy pasted into a scene over another character simply to Have Him There then Kairi can fight one (1) battle on her own.

It’s so annoying how they’re kinda giving Sora this main character complex too, where he’s just handed relevancy on a silver platter and given responsibilities he, by all good graces, Should Not Have. Like with Sora being the only one to actually confront Xehanort at the end of kh3 instead of Aqua Riku or Mickey (the actual masters in that situation btw). Or Sora being the one who ends up having to save Aqua because Riku and Mickey just Could Not (again THEYRE the masters here, not Sora). And all those times with yen sid passive aggressively saying how Sora ain’t shit cause he keeps losing his powers and he needs to Do Better and Get Stronger (in an anime boy montage). And that whole thing is like, fucking shut up yen sid how bout? Why don’t u try not making any more child soldiers u freak. (Side note that scene in 0.2 where he’s calling him and Sora idiots right to Riku’s face irked me so much. Like maybe they do share a braincell and Kairi has it most of the time but they’ve done more than you’ve bothered to do this entire series u magical bitch). They’re kind of? Going against this by making this plot about how the entire reason why Sora died was because he gave up so much to save others in kh3, but I just don’t have any trust that they’re going to take it in a satisfying or interesting direction. I imagine they’re just going to have a game where Sora gets himself or Riku gets him out of quadratum, and then that whole subplot about Sora being made into this martyr will be neatly tucked away never to be touched again. Because that’s how it happened in kh3. Sora had that whole breakdown when the others were dying in the keyblade graveyard, but then 5 minutes later he saves everyone with pretty much no consequence and then it’s never brought up again. Absolutely no net character development by Sora is had, and I’m so scared it’s just gonna stay that way.

Like they could solve two birds with one stone here by making other main characters more relevant and actually giving Sora some interesting development by just, letting them adventure together and talk about this stuff. If we even had 1 game with a destiny trio journey they could talk about all of this shit and it would be so fun and nice, and they simply Do Not.

Imagine tho, Sora getting to talk to Riku and Kairi about how he doesn’t feel like good enough of a person, cause he’s supposed to save everyone and be the chipper light in the darkness and the key that connects everything, but sometimes he just feels so alone and small, and that means he’s letting everyone down if he can’t always be perfect. And once Riku and Kairi learn he has those insecurities, they freely give him the encouragement and love he’s been missing and craving, and tell him he doesn’t have to be strong for everyone else all alone anymore, reminding him that it’s not just “one for all” it’s also “all for one”, and that they’ll be protecting him too through it all. And let them actually do it, give me a scene, or multiple even! Where Sora is the one made helpless for once, and he’s saved by Riku and Kairi, and finally shown that he’s had people looking out for him too, and he finally feels validated and loved by the people he needed it from most.

Imagine Kairi and Riku finally getting to talk about their friendship without Sora as a factor, how Riku might feel like he’s third wheeling them because Kairi always teased about that a few years ago when he was being too intense about seeing other worlds, and Kairi would apologize in earnest because she didn’t know that that got to him, has still been getting to him now, and share how she feels the same because she’s never been as strong as him or Sora, but wants so so much to be there for them both and be someone they can rely on and turn to, and how it always hurt being the one left behind, and how it feels so good she finally gets to live that dream with them on this adventure, and they bond and become even closer through these revelations.

I am Manifesting this for the next kh games, because the only things I don’t like about kh is the sexism and not treating the destiny trio like a trio. Please and thank you Michael mouse 🙏

[fatal-rewrites-warriors]

Want to think of more religious/spiritual ceremonies you say? Well don't mind me sliding on in here. Are there any special kinds of burials outside of yeeting a motherfucker under a soul tree? Is there symbolism behind where someone is buried and what is around them? Any special ceremony for a newly chosen healer? Do any of the Town Cats have ceremonies of their own? Do they name their kits before 3 moons too?

Different burials - beyond just putting criminals beneath soul trees, not really? a cat in the who was particularly celebrated may get one helluva funeral, but nothing out of the ordinary rituals wise.

symbolism in location - yes! in Riverclan at least, a healer will determine a sign from a dead cat to determine where thry would most like to be buried, and to defy that would be very insulting to that cat. thunderclan has a dedicated cemetery where cats are often buried nearby their loved ones.

shadowclan and windclan i havent thought too much about, however the rogues coming in to shadowclan will bring a tradition of carrying a piece of the dead cats bone with them (very taboo to other clans!) which i think would also be paired with a Town tradition of leaving a body for the birds to clean before burying it (also very taboo to other clans)

windclan...hm. i do like the idea of the body being laid out over the course of a sunny day, so that hiverne can put his blessing on the body. this would be done outside of camp, with some herbs to keep predators from digging in. oddly enough, the body doesnt seem to rot during this time, and if it does its considered a warning of many terrible deaths to come. otherwise, the family would choose where the body is buried (sometimes near a favourite place, sometimes with other loved ones)

ceremony for new healers - i like to think that theyre anointed with a specific herb and need to take a vow of silence during their first journey to moonstone to really contemplate their new responsibilities, with some differences between clans

Town cat ceremonies - yes and there are many of varying execution and meaning since Town culture is a lot more decentralized and spread amongst a variety of groups and family.

sometimes they even directly contradict each other! like kittypets with sometimes name their kittens right away, so that when the humans take them to a new home a piece of the queen will always follow, like sasha. sometimes kittypets wont name their kittens at all because they'll just be taken from them, like leopardstar's mother.

the cats that live on streets also have varying traditions. some will wait, some wont. some think its bad luck to name their own kittens, so either someone else must name them or the kittens must choose their own name. naming kittens after other cats is much more common, because its how you remember that one cat who helped you, who you might never see again but who might be the reason your kittens were even born.

hell, i even like the idea of "safe names" in the Town--names so associated with cats who are helpful and sharing that there are plenty of kittens named after them, who were told the meaning of the name by their parent and who will continue that legacy by being kind themselves. a tradition that runs so deep, that cats with safe names who are no longer safe may change their names, or come to be referred to by something else by the cats around them who've deemed them undeserving.
