lone star shine down on my hometown

id: a digital greyscale drawing of kurier-she’s white and has long, dark, graying hair as well as a beard. she’s visible from her head to her chest. she’s wearing a cowboy hat, a plaid, unbuttoned shirt over a white tank top and a simple, black eyepatch over her left eye. the background is solid black with a lone, white star shining right above kurier’s head, they’re looking up at it with a sad expression. end id

Natasha, say you were the Ladybug Holder, partnered with a Black Cat Holder and you had to assemble a team- who would you potentially call in as an ally and what Miraculous would you give them

Natasha

"Uhm, that's a difficult one. Logic says I should avoid involving people I know too well, maybe even use the Horse to recruit a team from outside of Achefall but... that doesn't seem very feasible. I need to pick people I can trust and I don't have such a big social circle.

"I can see Maris' point in that she wants more or less fix kwami-Holder pairs, so everyone can get comfortable with one power-set. But to be honest, I feel like if it was up to me, I might go for a smaller core-team, and give them Miraculous based on who is available and what is needed at the moment. Kwami swaps tend to happen anyway, and sometimes Maris even forced to recruit bystanders as one-time Holders, so doing it this way might help to make things more flexible, and hiding the actual size of the team could be nice too.

"Let's see... one person I'd surely recruit if they were willing would be Kris. There would be no sense not to- I know them enough to trust them. They are an adult, so they could use their powers more. And they're already involved with the Miraculous, they were since childhood. They're pretty good at improvisation, so I think they could get a lot of use from the Goat. If we needed more raw strength, they could also use the Dragon... they like swords, or at least I know they did as a kid. And if things were dire enough, they could back us up with the Snake... uh, on a second thought, maybe they wouldn't be that thrilled to have a time travel Miraculous. But it works pretty differently than the Rabbit, so they might be fine with it.

"Depending on the circumstances, I might try to get Sonya on my team. She already proved herself very capable, but of course I'd understand if she said no. Probably wouldn't be a very good idea to give her the Turtle again, even though the villains already know some of our team's identities, so it might be pointless to worry about that. But she could also use the Ox that works kinda similar, or maybe the Tiger would fit her too.

"It would be probably a bit too reckless to involve someone who is basically living with me, but maybe Saiyuki could be a good fit for the Fox or the Bee? Not sure why, it's just a hunch.

"Naota loves to do things for people just to make them happy, they would be probably a good fit for the Pig... wait, maybe they wouldn't be that comfortable to weaponize people's desires against them. Then maybe the Dog would work better, and Erica could have the Pig instead.

"Fletcher likes birds and sometimes it feels like he... I don't know, wants to prove himself I guess? So the Rooster might fit him well.

"I recall Hikaru mentioning once that in their childhood games she played pretend as a hero with lightning powers, so she'd probably enjoy the Dragon. If a sneakier approach was needed, I think she'd manage the Bee well too.

"Justin is a baseball player, so either the Dog or the Monkey could work well for him, since both of those requires throwing skills.

"Let's see, we're left with the Horse, Rabbit and Mouse. I feel like Eva could do well with any of those."

[[Eva belongs to Tsukiyomaru/Arcade Rabbit. I'm not sure if he can be found here, otherwise I'd tag him properly.]]

Little Aegon was soo cute in the latest chapter he and Maris should be friends 💚

Btw what are your thoughts on Aegon and Aemond in the show?

The first intro of Aegon in SOTF 💕. It is all...a direction from here (I'm so unwell about his future relationship with Yorick)

In terms of the show: I like them & wish we'd gotten more chance to, like, know them. As such, it feels kinda...hard to judge them? Like, I'm going purely off vibes & my own extrapolations at this point. I will say, though, that I am obsessed with how much is wrong with the both of them, & that I have Aegon in my "special little, pathetic guy snow globe" & sometimes I will shake that snow globe violently

As promised, my post on the lobby yesterday

Over 3000 showed up to lobby their member of Parliament and urge them to vote for the Scottish National Party's motion for an immediate ceasefire, to replace the current government motion for a stop of humanitarian aid.

The motion did not pass, in fact it did not even get voted on. Which is what the MPs came there to do.

"As the war in Gaza continues to cause death, destruction, and terror, with over 30,000 people reported dead so far, British MPs couldn't even decide how to decide what they think about it"

The thousands of people who waited outside Parliament were left in the wind and rain with no explanation, as security let very few of us in. I was there 3 hours and got nowhere near the front, people AT the front said they did not get in. The MPs knew we came to lobby. We have a right to lobby and speak to our MPs. We organised and showed up in our thousands, but Parliament didn't accomplish anything. What is the state of democracy in this country?

People of the UK, KEEP SHOWING UP FOR PALESTINE. Make the national demonstration on Saturday 9th March the biggest so far. Spread the word of it everywhere, encourage people you know to show up.

Our government is pathetic and spineless and they are panicking under our pressure. ONE HUNDRED (!) Labour MPs were planning to rebel against their leader and vote for immediate ceasefire. Do not let up.

Okay, but what if Mc couldn't come back because they got injured, etc. Something that was out of their control? Would they still feel betrayed or more angry at whatever or whoever hurt mc?

Oh definitely more angry towards what/who hurt MC. They will exact vengeance if it can be done. But also... MC could have not left to where they could never follow to begin with. Kinda spoilery below the line, but again, this is really all hypothetical since it will not be an option in game. But if you want to imagine some really bad angst for your OCs later on... who am I to stop you?

As selfish at it would seem at first glance... they would feel like they were placed very low on MC's priorities and that their suffering was not as important tot them. Because this person that claimed to love them, actively chose to leave them trapped in a hellhole they've been stuck for some 1500 years, when there was a real possibility they'd never return. There's a bit more to MC getting out and coming back than just finding a simple way in and out. The RO would take a leap of faith, and trust MC with the livelihood of their entire people, that they are responsible for... fae who are desperate, dying and worse, on the off chance that MC would somehow find the way back again, when they were completely lost in the first place when they got there. MC would know all this and would have also been a whiteness to the deplorable state the fae are in, and still make that choice. While this might not be fair to be put on MC's shoulders to begin with, they'd still be playing Russians roulette with the fate of an entire dying race. I think just the mere decision to leave, all considered, would put a dent in their trust, even if MC somehow magically came back the same day. It's like accidentally stumbling upon a group of stranded people on an island and then deciding to sail home first, not knowing when or how to actually get back... instead of staying there and gathering resources for a while in order to take them all with you. All the while knowing that some of them were occasionally walking into the ocean to their death because they couldn't stand living there anymore . Like, sure, there's no real obligation to help them... but don't expect to be welcomed back with open arms after initially abandoning them.

ROs would eventually still care for MC, but there would always be a stain on their relationship and would always question just how much they mean to MC. Because, at the end of the day, while they'd be very sympathetic towards MC's feelings and worries, MC would have always, knowingly, gambled with both their freedom and their life.

everyone shut up im thinking about connor and moonday's relationship

Another Cass opinion that I have that's interesting is that I think she should stay in Gotham.

Like yeah her time in Blüdhaven and Hong Kong was cool and all but to me Cass is very much like her father and just loves the shithole and will always come back to it no matter what.

People who want her to be independent I can get, like being an individual character is fine and all but she doesn't have to leave the damn city in order for that to happen.

(though I have opinions on people who want her to be more distant from the Bat-Fam as a whole, but I'll save that for later.)

I just think she likes Gotham, hell she said it in the panel you see here, so yeah.

So, in "Tempted Champions" there's this Slayer who was turned vampire. And when Buffy's about to stake her at the end, she asks Buffy to join her.

And she's actually starting to get Buffy to give in, by pointing out the Watcher's Council controls her and stuff, and that she gives up her entire life for them and what does she have to show for it? (The same thing happened to the turned Slayer.)

The Slayer turned vampire then brings up Angel and that really makes Buffy think about it:

At first, Buffy's imagining that maybe she could become a vampire with a soul, because surely Willow could find a way to give her her soul back like she did with Angel. And that really, they could continue on like they are now--fighting evil, but together (and truly together, like being able to make love and whatnot. Because Buffy thinks of how she knows Angel: and if she had to become a vampire to truly be with him, he'd never be able to forgive himself for that. And that would be the one thing that would keep him from achieving perfect happiness and losing his soul again)--but as vampires.

But then she starts wondering if she really wants them to have their souls. And she sort of contradicts her previous thought and thinks that she would be able to make him happy, after all, in order to lose his soul. And this whole thing is crazy, because I never thought Buffy would ever entertain the idea of wanting to be an evil soulless vampire, alongside Angelus.

She doesn't do any of these things, of course, and is able to pull herself from the edge, but damn. I sort of thought all of these things were sort of fanfiction ideas, with maybe the slightest bit of canon hinting at the possibility of it (like when Buffy told Angel that when he kissed her she wanted to die), but apparently not.

Edit: Here's the scene.

[deathdxnces]

i wrote about it before extensively tbh, but i do think irelia's views on noxians are extremely dehumanizing and ruthless and not likely to change (not unless she's forced to interact with them and see them as people, i think, and even then it's difficult to say if she wouldn't just deem someone an Exception rather than question how correct her views had been). she doesn't feel any guilt or any sort of remorse for all the noxians she killed. her in game lines suggest to some extent she enjoys killing them (killing you won't bring them back… but it still felt good). i mentioned it a bunch of times before and even wrote a post connected to that, but the i've never killed a person… just a lot of noxians line makes it obvious they're not even human beings to her. as i wrote in another post, you could put their grieving families in front of her and they could scream someone was only a soldier out of need, and still she'd be utterly unmoved.

there's definitely the point also discussed in one of those posts that this isn't about someone being born in noxus necessarily, but rather what the empire shapes them to be. in her eyes, she isn't the one stripping them of humanity; noxus already did that. and i don't think anything anyone can say would move her or make her look at it differently at all. and as i also discussed here, i don't think she'll eventually feel guilty for killing noxians. it just won't happen.

this is definitely when her worst side comes to light, because it isn't just self-defense, it hasn't been for a long time. it's pure hatred, and treating people as less than people, guilty or not. even if she's not downright cruel and doesn't try to make them suffer, she takes their lives easily and enjoys it to some extent. and i don't even think irelia is often openly as bloodthirsty as she feels, because i do think she fully expects other people to not see it the same way and to condemn her stance, but that's never enough for her to change or consider changing. at most, it holds her back from acting on it at times.

the only way all of it elicits guilt on her isn't for the deeds themselves but due to the very fact she enjoys it. i've also said that a thousand times before, but she was raised under a spiritual dogmatic belief violence is never justified, not even as a way of answering to violence suffered. to not only strike back, but to enjoy it? i think that's the greatest reason irelia tries to repress those feelings. if anything, it's more religious guilt than guilt for what she does. and as a result there's a lot of self-inflicted suffering she continues to agonize over, but that doesn't come from guilt over the lives she took at all. even though she is certain it disappoints her family and stains their name, a fact she also punishes herself with (though i don't think she'd ever follow the same ritual of asking for her father's forgiveness as she does when she kills other ionians), it's the disappointment that troubles her. it's the not fitting in the ideal of good she was taught. the noxians themselves? she really doesn't care, they had it coming.

which is also to say, even with the guilt holding her back somewhat, it's obvious how much she hates noxians and how easily she'll cut them down and how remorseless she is about it. without that. well. maybe then she would indeed consider striking back at noxus and making sure the empire would never be a threat again.
