Hey ya'll seen that one movie about this one kid

who finds something that should be considered dangerous and

untamable

only for them to become friends with it

then get attacked so because of their bond it attacks to protect

and then by the end of the movie their friendship is saved and now everyone knows the truth about the creature who is actually really nice

Yeah im talking about Lilo and Stitch!

did you guys know that the woman who coined the term “final girl” is actually a scholar of Icelandic medieval poetry? I don’t know why this particular fact is standing out to me so strongly but just imagine, being an expert in 70s and 80s slasher films and writing a seminal work on gender and the horror audience...

and then going home and thinking about the Njála for the rest of the evening.

Working on a height/body type comparison ref for Silly Celestials (which is why they are missing shirts/capes/etc to see their body better). Starting off with the Eclipse trio! Helios, Clip, and Solstice. Specifically, later on in the story after they've gotten any of their remodels and such.

I remember in a previous post that NKG is fluffier than Grimm, but now that Grimm is super duper fluffy would NKG be even more fluffier or the same amount of fluff?

grimm may be fluffier now, but he's still a far cry from his nightmare realm self

I'm not in 100 years reading wind, so what's the nightstar stuff as well as the harelight execution scene?

The Nightstar Stuff is that they're constantly making it clear they KNOW that cats can lie about getting the 9 lives, they KNOW that a murderer can receive the lives, and they KNOW that StarClan has never rejected an evil cat before... but then they handwave it away because they don't wanna do anything.

Nightstar/Nightpelt gets namedropped six times and vaguely alluded to a dozen more, but it means nothing to the story. You could have just forgotten him entirely and the plot would happen the same way.

Most of this book is the leaders finding excuses to sit on their butts, but I really only need to share one exchange to demonstrate just HOW stupid this is,

"I'd like to think that the ancestors would speak up." A+ logic Squirrelflight. Just believe that reality won't happen. If you cover your eyes it makes the maneating lion bowling towards your face go away. Soblem prolved.

Every now and then I think I'm kind of sleeping on classpect analysis, but also what you have to understand about me is that I'm way less enchanted by the act of defining classes and aspects and way moreso by how individual Characters contextualize their relationship with their aspects and assign meaning to it based on their experiences

Something that I always found striking about late Act 6 Kanaya was the way she recontextualizes her relationship with her aspect as something so specific to her and her own experiences. Something about the juxtaposition between Alt Calliope mapping out hard rules about her classpect, saying "This is what it means to be a Space player" "This is what it means to be X" while Kanaya talks about how her experiences formulated her own relationship with her classpect. It's a fascinating difference between them where I never think that the story tries to say that either of them are Wrong about how they view Space. But there's such an underappreciated depth there where Calliope is demonstrated to be somebody who's obsessed with rules, strict categorization, while Kanaya says "this is what my experiences have told me, this is what Space means to Me." And Alt Calliope saying things like Space players are inseparably tied to loneliness are interesting claims, but also putting these beliefs in context with each other you can just as easily see how Alt Calliope's views of space can be formulated by her lifelong (deathlong) experience with isolation.

I think a big reason that I always found it hard to engage with a lot of classpect analysis is that there's this insistence that classpects must have strict categories that define people, when throughout the comic we consistently see how things like aspects and classes mean different things to different people. The way that Kanaya, Calliope, and Jade all see Space and their relationship to it is so so different, I sort of wonder if they'd have any common ground if they actually discussed it between each other (or wrote their thoughts down and passed it around, as Calliope would undoubtedly dominate that conversation lol). The same goes for Rose and Vriska with Light, the Time players... I don't know, it's striking to me. I can understand why the rumored Hussie Classpect doc is supposedly only a sentence or so per classpect because what do you even say? When the variety of experiences is so broad among them, it's impossible to define Classpects cohesively. Alternatively, aspects are something strictly defined by the meaning that people (characters) assign to them

If the Siberian wasn’t secretly a weirdly sexual projection of a grieving father, people here would be so horny for her. Bitch/Siberian would be this fandoms Hannigram.

Just this absolutely feral woman using the only words she has ever spoken to tell Rachel "Are you tired of being nice? Don't you just want to go ape shitt?" and then gifting her a wolf puppy? — I am still not over this

i’ll be honest i don’t even remember if jade & aradia ever even have a conversation with each other in canon but they are sooo blatantly set up as parallels—animal fusion... robots... outrageous gamebreaking amounts of power that allow them to facilitate favorable outcomes for their respective groups at their own expense... emotional needs overlooked by their friends so they close themselves off and pretend to be above it all... long wild black hair frog temples pumpkins isolation etc etc—it’s like. damn! why weren’t people all over this!

"Not every haunting is for horror / sometimes it's just for company" (murmur - C. Barnett), or some kind of handers ghost AU, part 1/?

Notes and ramblings under the 'read more', cw: mention of suicide.

I'm humbly proposing Two Scenarios™, maybe?

- Hawke accidentally summons a ghost when he move into a house built over an old prison; could be related to canon or not, like some sort of AU piled over a canon divergence (Anders died during the year in solitary confinement).

- Hawke impulsively buys a flat to move away from his siblings; they are dealing better than him with their parents' death, and what's his use if he is not anymore the responsible older brother that hold everything together? The landlord didn't clean anything, so he inadvertently inherits all the memories things left behind by the previous owner, someone who committed suicide one year prior. Plus a cat that refuses to leave.
