SGA + Terry Pratchett

The Assassin moved quietly from roof to roof until he was well away from the excitement around the Watch House. His movements could be called catlike, except that he did not stop to spray urine up against things.

Can we make this happen in the Sandman series please? Just saying if we manage to get that far I would KILL for Kristofer Hivju to play destruction.

my super really good analysis of scaramouche and the significance of bohemian rhapsody to his character

ok ok !! so please read the whole thing i worked really hard on it

scaramouche aka kunikuzushi aka the balladeer aka shouki no kami the prodigal aka the sixth of the fatui harbingers aka the wanderer had his redesign (as you know) on the anniversary of bohemian rhapsody's release

which on its own is so silly cause yk scaramouche is in the song !!

noo but hoyoverse KNEW what they were doing there they knew from the MOMENT they started designing this character in their heads

because ooh that song is a GOLD MINE of easter eggs for him !!!!

as we know, his creator was the raiden ei - who's archon name is beelzebul/beelzebub, depending on how it's read. you know where ELSE mentions beelzebub? BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY. with the lines        "Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia (Mamma mia, let me go)        Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me" and shortly after,         "So you think you can love me and leave me to die?" which. you know what happens in the genshin lore??? 

scaramouche gets ABANDONED by ei because he shows emotion while SLEEPING [aka, loving him and leaving him to die]. he, in his recent cutscene, refers to her as his "god, [his] creator, [his] mother," and it shows him falling from her puppet strings ["mamma mia, let me go" sound familiar?]. the devil she has set aside for him can be interpreted many ways, but i like to think of it as the gnosis. because the gnosis is the one thing he was created to hold, but also the one thing he cannot have. it tortures him. [like a devil would, no?]

NEXT UP the first song that plays as scara's true identity is revealed to you for the first time in game, and also his current character theme, is called "ominous fandango". that sound familiar? good, cause it'll get better. for some reason, though he was meant to be a copy of, and companion to her, ei made scara ... short. not lore-important at the moment, but makes the song lines funnier.        "I see a little silhouetto of a man        Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?" convenient, isn't it?

and you know where the name 'scaramouche' comes from? the italian for "little skirmisher". [he's short, and a fighter. the name works]. you know who ELSE is italian? aside from each of the harbinger's codenames, the man mentioned in the very next lines of the song! after, that is, one VERY IMPORTANT PART. 

raiden ei is the electro archon. she can create storms. lightning. upon attaining the gnosis, the first thing scaramouche does is greet you, and summon a lightning storm as a "gift for your devotion to him," relentlessly attacking anyone and everyone around. hence the line:        "Thunderbolt and lightning very, very frightening me"

you know what comes next? the good 'ol rule of threes!! the lines        "I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me        He's just a poor boy from a poor family        Spare him his life from this monstrosity" are next. his family? unfortunate. she abandoned him. betrayal #1. his first friend? didn't believe him, and turned against him. betrayal #2. his second friend? either died or was sacrificed (i like to think it may have been ruu, personally) as a child. betrayal #3. he just wants out. or, to be spared.

the lines         "Open your eyes        Look up to the skies and see" work for this as well. after all, was scaramouche not the first person to point out the skies above teyvat are, in fact, fake?

the lines        "Any way the wind blows        Doesn't really matter to me, to me" are perfect for him, as well. he is gifted with an anemo [wind] vision, upon greater lord rhukkadevata's existence being wiped from irminisul. he chills out. a little.

there's definitely more, but that's all i could get from it. yeah ^^

PLEASE add on if you want to

Teyla probably has a tick sheet. "The Prodigal"

[defxserpentine]

If Dream also goes by Morpheus and Onieros I’d say it’s safe to assume that the other endless may go by the following;

Death: Thanatos or Azrael (cause, she’s referred as an angel of death).

Desire: Pothos, Eros or Aphrodite.

Delirium: Mania or Selene.

Destruction: Athena, Enyo, Perses or Charybdis. Perhaps even Ares.

Destiny: Anagke.

Despair: Oizys or even Eris.

Following along those lines, Morpheus may even be called by the names he’s been given by other cultures; Hypnos, Zhou, Maya, Okanu, Manit, Bes etc.

Lana Turner in ‘The Prodigal’ (1955)

[principledpropo]

I have complete and utter faith that whoever they cast for the remaining Endless will be amazing, since Dream, Death, Desire, and Despair are all perfect.

Destiny just needs to radiate exhausted older brother energy.

Delirium is your little sister who’s in her neon-punk phase while scoring aces across her grade card.

And of course, our prodigal son. I only ask for one thing for when he’s cast:

Strongman build. That is it.

Also, bonus points for every single idiot who still gets mad because Neil Gaiman helped cast a POC for the role. Please, I need to see these losers seethe over the most inconsequential thing.

Can they get it through their thick skulls already that The Sandman has been and will always remain as a landmark in queer literature? Like, hello, have you ever read or watched anything from Gaiman?

The Prodigal's Journal

Hammered Copper Journal

I've crossed three oceans and almost drowned in one. Now I am the Librarian of Hush House. Perhaps here I will be safe from my parents; but I can't take that for granted. [The Prodigal's dearest wish is sanctuary - as Librarian, or in a History where things are different;but you can complete the game by recording any History. You might wish to begin your studies with the Ithastry Wisdom.]

Sky Wind, storm, echo, song; the intricacies of mathematics and the principles of flight. Law's touch is lighter than we sometimes think. [Matters of balance, harmony and necessity.]

Mystery: Lantern Greater challenges require stronger skills.

Memories: the Prodigal 'My parents were Long - which is to say immortal - and Long are not permitted to make children. Their punishment is this: now that they know I live, they cannot rest until they devour me. Here in Hush House, I will be safe. It is even possible that I might learn to shape a weapon to defend myself.'
