A fun fact about Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler is that it is set in July 2024

[museenkuss]

OCTOBER. the first lines in a new notebook. chestnut mousse. studying runway shows. the scent of leather. rainy nights spent reading. mini perfume atomisers kept in overstuffed handbags. chai. hunting down the perfect paisley scarf. poached pears with vanilla sauce. jotting down thoughts on scraps of paper that’ll be found inbetween the pages of a book, years from now. honey face masks. learning poems by heart. dark chocolate and red wine. Draculean nightmares and Wildean dreams (opulent, melancholic, homoerotic).

Half of the kingdom for Angelina, Fred and George dynamic! I shan't pretend I understand it but I sure as hell enjoy it!

You and Fred both!

Fred and Angie are the type of FWB couple whose reasons for not dating, inter alia, center on both of them just... not really caring that much. Romance isn't a priority for either of them; I think that when they started liking each other, it was a gradually developing case of mutual attraction under circumstances where neither one had time for a relationship. Angelina is busy trying to hold a quidditch team together, and it's hard enough without this doofus beater eating up more of her time than he already does. As for Fred, he's diligently preoccupied trying to put Minerva McGonagall in an early grave, and I think deep down he probably has a 17-year-old boy's healthy terror of commitment, too. But he does respect Angelina a hell of a lot, and he makes her laugh — something that she, as a generally serious person, could do with a bit more of. When he's not making a fool of himself, and she's not busy with the soul-eating job of being the following act for Oliver Wood, I imagine them having a comfortable, lowkey, no-strings FWB arrangement. Like, they were teammates before they were ever involved, and when you've seen someone's ass platonically, it takes the edge off seeing it in other contexts.

George is also here. The twins are such a social unit that anyone dating one of them sort of gets a two-for-one special, but the fact that Angie doesn't take it seriously helps to make things un-awkward. In fact, I think she's actually quite fond of George — he's more chill than Fred is, and a little bit sweeter, easier to get along with — and having known them both since first year, Angie probably understands that if you're involved with Fred, George is going to Be Around. It's like a love triangle where only one leg is romantic, and also everyone is eminently cool and happy to hang out with each other.

one of the weird things about life expectancies in warrior cats stretching out as the series goes on is that lionblaze is 8 years old with adult grandchildren and showing no signs of age or even retiring, while yellowfang was depicted as old af when she died at the age of 8.

I’ve started to think a bit about why I don’t like Crimson as a character and an antagonist- and I think I’ve cracked part of it

Crimson basically has nothing going on, and in the story he basically functions to give bodies for the protags to throw around. He’s just an other shitty dad to give Moxxie trauma. What even are his goals? What does he want? What does he believe in?

Striker is way more interesting as a character and an antagonist because we know his beliefs and goals- he was paid to kill Stolas, and he hates hell royalty because he doesn’t believe they deserve everything that’s been handed to them and such. It’s very simple stuff but it works as a foundation, even if Viv hasn’t been good at writing his character out.

Crimson however, he’s basically nothing. You could say that he is motivated by his business/mafia, but we don’t really see that. He just drops in one episode without any prior set up or acknowledgment to try and marry Moxxie off for money. His motivation could be to try and maintain power by doing whatever it is possible, but again we don’t really *get* that.

In this new episode it just *really* feels like his only purpose is to fill a slot so they don’t have to make a new antagonist, shout a bunch, and have a bunch of henchmen to be killed.

honestly it could be interesting to build off of imps being lower class and not many running their own companies. That idea has kinda been dropped but it could have been worked into making Crimson and Blitz foils to each other or something. Just let Crimson be desperate to rise to some level of power and wealth that he’s willing to do anything to obtain it. Whether that be selling out his son or holding another imp hostage to blackmail a sin- idk there’s potential here!

Potential, yes. And unfortunately squandered one at that.

It’s Henry’s Day! 

Between being dismissed or being coddled for his health condition, Henry doesn’t know what’s worse. But he is not having any of it. They will never understand his case.

watched the bull romance for the first time kind of recently and, wow, doribull really got like 5x the amount of content in trespasser that bullquiz got, huh? not only that, but you got bull dispassionately talking about how marriage means nothing to him but he'll tie the knot if it's *really* important to you? when dorian got bull fussing over his allergies and asking him to talk about his feelings? wow, RIP for real. are bullmancers okay? because the writers really fucked you all dirty there, lmao

One of the coolest things my friend Kris said, "A good headcanon differs from the canon knowingly, not out of wilfull ignorance".

Like, there is a big difference between being corrected (not always for an indisputable reason, but the intention matters) and being creatively policed! When someone shares a headcanon and you know the canon bit that contradicts it, just say it! Either they could reconsider their idea with the new information or say "yeah cool but I prefer to write my own thing, not to be 100% accurate to the canon" which are both valid. Because, the latter one knowingly differs from the canon!

But like, apparently in the eyes of some people, being informed on what was missed equals baiting hostility, policing creativity or whatnot? Like, yet again, if someone gets straight up angry and vindictive at being reminded that they are in the fandom, for something with pre-existing information, then it loops back to the question of why they are in a fandom and not doing their own original project to begin with! I can't find any other reasoning for admitting you do not want to even know canon and only here to take basic surface bits to make your own thing besides the fact that pre-existing fanbase just will engage more willingly even with canon divergent portrayals, stories and just AUs!

But like... you can't be in a fandom while expecting to never have any discussion with other fans about this story and characters! Being told that you are wrong and being told that you are wrong for BEING wrong are two whole different things, and mentality of fans not being allowed to say anything besides agreement, when it is about pre-existing media, is straight up lame and not what fandoms are about. Not everyone who points what is missing a petty redditor that hates headcanons; most of the "well actualies" come from the place of love for both canon and headcanons! This is the case of "before you break the rules you need to know them", but people that tell what rules are are anything but wrong, hostile or immature. People that say "you come into my house and maliciously ruin my fun" when they hear about those rules, however?

Again: a good headcanon differs from the canon knowingly, not out of wilfull ignorance.
