Sometimes I get curious about the alpha troll session, how much we don't know about and can only speculate on. I really enjoy the interpretations people come up with, the multitude of possibilities there are.
I'm especially interested in the events already talked about, I want to know exactly what happened and what caused them. There's so much left in the dark about Mituna's accident, how much of it was an accident, how much was planned.
With the ties Kurloz and Damara have to Lord English's arrival, I'm sure there was a lot of planning that went through to the other sessions.
But an Heir of Doom would've been too dangerous for their plans, able to snuff out the preparations and prepare everyone for battle before they even knew of English's existence.
He had to be stopped before that, it wasn't worth the risk.
So I wonder if Kurloz had anything to do with the actual accident, or he really was just a bystander happening to witness that fated moment.
Who knows if there really was any danger, if Mituna's incident really was something heroic that saved the others.
Or if Mituna played right into the tricks, and Kurloz only created a threat to make him and the others feel better. To give reason to his accident.
I do think he would still feel guilt about what he did, but it had to be done regardless. It's the same with Meulin, Kurloz didn't mean to cause this much damage, nor was it part of the plan. He's shrouded in mystery to the point that no one knows how he really feels, his actions don't align with his grief. It must be frustrating to know all the harm you caused to those closest to you was all in vain, that with the loss of everything you worked so hard for, you really are just a bad person at the end of the day.

There's a girl in your freind group who just appeared one day. Like literally. There was one day when she appeared and everybody else acted like she had always been there. Only you didn't remember that she had existed, or more accurately only you remembered that she hadn't existed the day before.
She acted normal. So very freindly. But there was something off about her. She seemed too hand crafted, her skin too pale, her hair too blond, her eyes too blue and face too pretty. She looked more like a doll then like a real person. And it was clear after asking the right probing questions that she had no hometown, no family, no ethnic group, that she just was. You were good at asking that type of question, to prove she wasn't human.
You're the only person in that freind group who knows about the supernatural. Like, you don't deal with it on a professional basis or anything, you know a few people who are more involved in it, and you've gotten the chance to see a handful of anomalies and entities and like one eldritch being. You even time traveled once. None of it was a big deal, but you thought they were cool, and it's good to know they exist. The reason it's important is because you know knowing about that stuff effects how you perceive certain things, especially when it comes to recognizing illusions and paradoxes.
You studied her for awhile. Did what you could to check her every little action, wonder if certain small things she did were what a human would do. Question her without letting on how much you know. You've studied the way she eats, the abnormalities in her dialect. The strangeness to how she got her documents. You stole a bit of hair to send to a lab and they confirmed her nonhuman. You're pretty sure from studying the way that her clothing moves on her body that she doesn't have nipples or private parts or a bellybutton, you know it's weird to speculate about that sort of thing with someone but a body like hers is different. Still, you never got full proof, never figured out what she really was, never got to show that she wasn't a real woman and expose the inhuman creature underneath.
As time went on, and you investigated her further and further you stopped being able to see her as a monster. It's clear that even if she's not human, she probably doesn't know what she is either. And more then that she seems like a nice person, all that time you spent with her trying to figure out what type of anomaly she is, you ended up actually getting to know her and she seems like a genuinely nice human being. When she told you she liked a new song and wanted to play it for you that probably was just her liking a song. When she developed a hyperfixation on birds and started being able to name local species at a glance that might have just been a legitimate interest. When she had a crush on a girl in your freind group that was actually just a crush, and not her looking to prey on someone in an alien way. You watched a TV show with her early on to try to figure her out, that might have been the first show she ever watched.
At this point you don't really think about her inhumanity when interacting with her. She's been in the group for awhile, everyone has far more real memories of her then false memories at this point. Trying to expose her for what she really is would just be mean at this point. The paradoxical nature of her existence isn't the main thing you know about her now.
You did have to come clean that you knew something was up. You didn't tell her how much you knew, or why, you just dropped the right hints and she caught on. She became so upset, so guilty, she was worried you would tell everyone else, or that you would hurt her. A few months back you would have, but not anymore. You hugged her, didn't ask any questions about what she was, and did your best to comfort her. Though her existence may have been fake, her hugs were real, those tears were real, and that was enough.

Absolute Flash theory/question?
seeing this
Wally being hunted by older men, literally preyed upon by authority figures. Juxtaposed with this
What are the odds of this?
I just got creepy vibes and I'm curious if anybody else thought Barry was maybe sinister?
Thoughts?

I can't sleep.
Did knives ever try to communicate with his plant sisters on what they wanted? Did he ever ask them what made them happy?? What was his plan past freeing plants from humans because it doesn't look like he was improving the quality of their lives past not sending into a Last Run but what would an improvement on their lives look like??
Do the Plants even know what they want? They must, from the sparse glimpses we get from their perspectives.
Am I focusing on the wrong things in trigun lmao
#i just can't stop thinking about the Plants#We know so little about them#but they are so crucial to the plot#maximum has them finally being able to communicate with people they are ginally granted a voice#but from beginning to end we only really get brief flashes of their perspective.#and most of the time their wants and needs are ignored. god at least humans can claim ignorance on their sentience.#once again chewing at knives with my molars. gnawing on his relationship with his family.#gnawing on VASH's relationship with his family.#trigun#trigun stampede#trimax#trigun maximum#can u tell my favourite character types are those that are given no voices to speak of their own perspectives#so u can speculate wildly about them#unironically the plants are SO fascinating to me.

[Video ID: unanimated digital drawings of canon characters and their spec designs and impact font throughout, starting with killer T standing smugly with his arms crossed. A manly text to speech voice says: you better not mess with my gang. Or you’ll be messing with oopy goopy, cue 1146 in a wall of Lipton green tea boxes, general munchkin man, cue helper T getting caught shoving cookies in his face, lil’ Jim bob, cue B cell drawn in a chibi stile with a propellor hat and rainbow lollipop, and worst of all, Larry, cue creepy trail cam style footage of NK.

In Good Omens 3, what would be even better than flashbacks of Crowley and Aziraphale is flash forwards. Imagine half an hour (like in s1) of Crowley and Aziraphale doing different things after the end of s3.
So we would see them in their cottage, going on a picnic, and generally doing domestic things.

Amaryllis
--prompt from @flashfictionfridayofficial
She held the moonstone in her hands. Vibrating with magic only gifted by the goddess' hand, Amaryllis only took the time to play with it for a second before she almost dropped it back into the Moonabyss and its elusive current. Her fingertips burning with the coldest of fires, she retreated to note its power, and how stubborn it is with the wrong hands.
After a minute of recovery, Amaryllis cupped her right hand, and summoned a gust of wind from it. The icy chill brought her to attention, but when it disappeared, an abnormal ecstasy took its place. Surprised, she turned to the moonstone on the ground, and made it hover at eye level.
All of this effort, all of this journeying, just to find a little stone like yours? Amaryllis thought, taking note at the lucid gem. As it glowed in the middle of its whirlpool, threatening even her with its magic, a crack suddenly formed across the middle, eliminating the nascent light festering over it.
Amaryllis sprinted away from it, almost tripping into the Moonabyss' current in the process. After running for several feet, her silk shoes started to show its vulnerabilities, as more ice water started to flow into her soles. She lifted her left shoe and let it dangle, when she snapped her neck towards one side.
The goddess Re'letsi'Te appeared in front of her, with a pitied gaze and her wavy hair. She cupped the moonstone in her hand, seemingly indifferent to the magic possessed in it. Instead, she clenched it harder as she forced Amaryllis to come closer to her, and let the wet shoe drop.
"My goddess..." Amaryllis' voice trailed before she stepped out of the water, and clumsily prostrated before the incoporeal figure. When she stretched out her hands to feel Re'letsi'Te's feet, she only received that same gelid feeling, one which made her think, Could I survive further north, where nothing grows?
"I've heard so much about you," Re'letsi'Te said, not lifting her voice out of anger. "What do you have here?'
"A moonstone. I've heard so much about it."
"And it's something that people would have to sacrifice for. What did you want out of this little gem?"
"Wealth--"
At that moment, Re'letsi'Te summoned a stream of river water, before conjuring a wave out of it. It took all of Amaryllis' reflexes to dodge the cold, but the goddess sneered in annoyance. Another wave, and it left the girl glistening despite the overcast sky.
"I could kill you now and have it be the end. But you demonstrated you can have some power out of it. What it something you desire?"
Amaryliis' hands trembled. Re'letsi'Te kept the gem close, as if it were a stray lamb from the mountainside. The goddess stared, and stared, before revealing the gem again, only with its scarred face healed.
"Would you sacrifice that desire, for this gem, for this power, for my protection?"

When you have trudged unwilling far enough down the road of desperation, you might spy a crooked little path leading off into the woods signposted ‘opportunity’.
You must be eagle-eyed to spot it. That or you must have friends who will give you crude, hand-drawn map.
So it was in your case. As your savings flatlined and the financial doctors behind their plaguemasks stopped even returning your calls, a friend passed on a business card.
It was good money, they assured you. Very legit. Referral only. An exclusive service.
If anything, the ‘exclusive’ nature of it was what stopped you from getting in touch. You were fairly sure you weren’t *deserving* of an elite get-out-of-money-jail free club.
But eventually, you got far enough down the road that you knew this was your only exit. It was this or enter the Bankruptcy Games.
You made the call.
---
“So, you’re a temp agency?”
“*The* Temp Agency, in fact.” Said the suit with a face. “It’s a great deal. You come to work, you close your eyes, and you wake 8 hours later and 8 hours older. It’s like being paid to sleep, only without the rest.”
“But if I’m not doing anything, what are you paying me for?”
“For your time, of course. There’s always a market for it.” The suit with a face smiled the *idea* of a smile which contained within it the *idea* of sharp canines. “It’s the one true currency. The ‘hour standard’.”
“...I thought procrastination was the thief of time.”
“Procrastination is a moocher who never did anything for you, darling. We offer a 401k.”
“I still don’t really know what that is.”
“No-one does. But, believe me, you want one.”
---
After your first few visits, you began to get some faint ideas of how the enterprise worked. When you got into the slim glass pod, you noticed the telltale whine of a consciousness disruptor. You’d used them in work once, before you caught ethics.
So … the time was not simply siphoned out of you, There was a *process* that required you to be un-awake.
The next visit, you asked an old friend for a 3D bug. It was all organic neuron circuitry in a collagen case - slipped beneath the dermis, it was virtually undetectable.
When you played back the recording, you saw the strangest scene.
After you were rendered unconscious, face-in-the-suit opened a small hatch and a crowd of tiny 8-inch humanoids thronged through. They knelt in front of your pod and began *praying*. They praised your name, begged intercession, then praised your name some more.
They had made a god of you - a strange kind of chrono-theology.
Only your followers did not ask you to give them their daily bread, but simply to give them *days*.
