#fully on board w this theory

[princessbrunette]

Spiderman JJ sneaking into your room after a fight only to find you and John B with an entire ass yarn-evidence board discussing which of the people they know might be Spiderman

⋆｡‧˚ʚ🕷️ɞ˚‧｡⋆

today was the day, he’d decided. the day jj was going to reveal to you that he was infact spiderman. it wasn’t so much a choice, infact — he didn’t have much. he’d gotten in a bad fight, and knew you could patch him up, being a nursing student and all. he stumbled through your window, wearing his suit that now was home to a few rips and tears he was relying on you to sew up. his heart was racing, wondering what your reaction would be. he smiles as he hears your voice, about to exit your bedroom door — but his smile is quick to drop when he hears another male voice accompanying you, your joint best friend john b.

“look, i know you said to rule out rafe — but who else has his access? those web thingies that spiderman has, they had to cost a shit tonne of money, right? what does rafe have plenty of? money.” john b theorises.

“i think the webs come from his wrists john b, i swear — he’s like a spider mutant.” jj can hear the smile in your voice, clearly excited over the theories.

“yeah, you know that’s like— impossible, right?” john b’s voice flattens sarcastically.

“oh, and a guy flying across the skyline is totally normal. embrace the impossible, jb.” you grin and john b shakes his head, not buying it.

“whatever. you got anymore yarn? runnin’ kinda low here.”

“yeah, there’s some in my room somewhere. come.” you nod to the brunette for him to follow him, the sound of footsteps drawing closer. jj realises he’s about to be caught, big time.

“oh shit.” the now maskless blonde curses, going to take a step back but walks straight into your vanity, spilling an abundance of bracelets and necklaces onto the floor. he knew the commotion gave him away, so quickly — his wrist shot out and he closed the door with his web, the footsteps stopping suddenly in the hallway.

“who’s there?” you call out fearfully, and john steps infront of you protectively.

“got a baseball bat and im not afraid to use it, dude.” john b calls out, making jj pipe up quickly.

“its me! guys its me!”

“jj? what the hell are you doing in here?” you relax, storming over to the door. “how’d you get in?” he senses your hand reach for the door knob, and he panics once more.

“w—wait! okay! i’m uh— i’m naked!”

“dude.” john b’s flat voice sounds from behind the door.

“i got jumped, okay and they nabbed my freaking clothes.” as he speaks, he’s working on ripping his suit off, stuffing it into your full waste bin below your desk, covering it with balled up papers, making a mental note to retrieve it later.

when the door opens, jj stands fully naked, only his hands covering his junk.

“oh gosh.” you gasp, and the brunette shakes his head.

“they took your boxers, too?”

“wasn’t wearin’ ‘em to begin with.”

“right.”

he’ll tell you another day.

[where-theres-smoak-2]

So I am still stuck here: 'She'll come to understand. I've seen it.' Because like how Paul? How is Chani possible going to come to understand after everything that happened in Dune part 2?

Like she is so angry at the end of the film and it really does make me curious as to how Denis is going to bring her to a place where she understands and is ok with Paul's actions in Dune 3. So I have been having a think about it and I have a few theories on what I think could potentially happen with Chani's character and her relationship with Paul in the third film.

To be clear, I haven't read the books, I know a couple of details from dune messiah that were told to me, but I've mostly managed to avoid spoilers, so this isn't based off clues from the book and is very unlikely to be book accurate, but then I figure Chani not being a believer and choosing to leave at the end wasn't book accurate either so it would make sense that how she comes back to Paul wouldn't be either. Also these theories aren't necessarily things I want to happen more directions I think they could go in. Some have similar ideas and themes but with variations, I think how likely they are to happen is going to depend on just how messed up and tragic they want to go with it.

All of them do have one thing in common though, close proximity. I really do think the only way Chani is ever going to understand is for her to physically be around Paul and see him using his new abilities as the kwisatz haderach and then realising that Paul's motivations are still in the best interests of her and the fremen and that he's trying to lead them down the best path to achieve that. They need to rebuild the love and trust between them through having intimate and emotionally vulnerable moments together as well. So these are more theories on how she'll be brought back into close proximity to him more than anything else. But without further ado lets jump into it.

Chani is Pregnant.

So these first couple of theories centre around the idea that Chani may be pregnant with Paul's baby when she leaves at the end. This is a theory that I've already talked about in this post. As a summary, Chani finds out she is pregnant and not wanting to raise the child alone or for her child to not know their father returns to Paul. Or alternatively Paul finds out she is pregnant and uses it to convince her to come back, its possible Jessica may try and manipulate her into returning as well as she'll see Chani's baby as the future of house atriedes.

But I also had another idea playing into this idea of Chani being pregnant and its a little wacky but could be interesting to play with. For me the interesting part of Paul's line isn't the implication that Chani will return but that she will 'come to understand', suggesting she gets on board with Paul's actions, she fully jumps on the bandwagon so to speak. We know that Paul could dream the future and that these dreams were often vague and full of terror. What if Paul's child can also have these prophetic dreams and through some weird bond between her and the baby that allows Chani to start having these dreams. Seeing all these horrors of possible unclear futures she realises the potential cost of choosing the wrong path and in her fear of these dreams combined with the conflicting feelings of being pregnant with Paul's child, she chooses to return to him now believing that he is at least trying to choose the path that will be best for them all. I also think this could create an interesting parallel between Chani and Jessica in that they both had kind of mystical pregnancies. Obviously it wouldn't be exactly the same because Chani's child wouldn't have awareness more just the link between mother and child in pregnancy allows Chani to take on some of the child's abilities as the offspring of the kwisatz haderach.

So I am going to put a dune messiah book spoiler warning here because I am going to mention something from the books that I learned, so if you don't want to be spoiled skip to the next paragraph. But I just want to be clear to those who read the book that when I say I think Chani might be pregnant I don't mean with the twins who I think will be born but later in the film, I mean with their first son who was born in the first book who is killed in the sietch tabr attack. They took it out of dune part two, which makes sense as they changed the timeline drastically, so I think its possible that they'll instead move this plot line into Dune 3 as an explanation as to why Chani comes back. I think their child will die in some attack or assassination attempt and this will make Chani angry enough to want revenge and their joint grief keeps her at his side.

Chani the Manipulator

So two important details make up this theory, one is that Chani's main resistance to the prophecy is that she believes that the fremen should free themselves and not an outsider, the second important detail is that whilst many will think the emperor is the most powerful person in the universe, the bene gesserit gained a lot of power because they had the emperor's ear. It can be argued that the true most powerful being is the one who can influence the one people think is the most powerful. So here's my theory, what if after some time away and after her anger has simmered down a bit she comes to realise that she could have a lot of power in being the one at Paul's side, the one to have his ear. Maybe being unhappy with some choices he is making in the holy war when it comes to her people she has this epiphany of, I can't change what has happened, I can't change the minds of the fundamentalists who are lost to this prophecy, and I can't stop Jessica's or Gurney's schemes/motivations, but I can manipulate/guide Paul. So she pretends to forgive him and goes back, puts herself close to him and sits in on the councils and when discussing decisions etc she nudges him into the direction she wants him to take, essential becoming the fremen that will help free them by working in the shadows. As I said above any reconciliation I think is going to come down to close proximity and I think as Chani is around Paul as she sees that he really can see different futures she is going to be more understanding and more trusting in Paul when he says he is doing necessary evils to ensure the best outcome for Arrakis and the fremen. I won't lie but I would kind of love this one to happen. Not only would I love seeing Chani embrace her own power and still stay true to her goals of putting her people's freedom first, I think it would be an interesting parallel to Paul in Dune part 2 where at first he works to be accepted by the non believers because he wants to use them as a way to get to the emperor but along the way he comes to genuinely love these people and feel like he's one of them leading to him choosing to abandon his previous path of revenge. I could see this going the same way, Chani at first sets out to manipulate Paul for her own motivations but in being around him begins to understand exactly what happened to him when he drunk the waters and what his motivations are now and decides that actually maybe Paul is what's best for her people and maybe her role/place is to be at his side and help him guide them to that green paradise.

Chani the Spy

These next few theories are going to centre around the idea of Chani either being a part of some kind of resistance against Paul or being the leader of a resistance. I could see Chani not being willing to give up the fight that easily and see her finding others who also still don't believe Paul is the Lisan al Gaib and who aren't happy with their people taking part in a holy war. I could see her using this resistance to become a real political pain in the ass for Paul. Maybe even using his own tactics of disrupting spice production against him, or undermining him in other ways. In a theory similar to the one above I could then see her fake forgiving Paul but to spy on him and feed information to the resistance. But again being in close proximity to him makes her feelings more complicated and she becomes less and less sure about what she is doing and whose side she is really on as time goes by and she realises it isn't as black and white as she first thought, I could see maybe the resistance deciding to plot an assassination attempt and this making Chani more conflicted as I don't think she wants Paul to die.

Let's Beauty and the Beast it.

This one again is based on the idea of Chani being part of/ leading the resistance. Maybe the resistance gets into a fight with Paul's forces and it results in this particular faction of the resistance losing and being taken as prisoners of war. Chani is captured amongst them and Gurney upon recognising her takes her to Paul instead of prison. Then we get a kind of beauty and the beast scenario except this ain't no fairy-tale its much darker. Essentially Chani is Paul's prisoner, but he gives her fancy quarters, real close to his obviously, and he makes a few demands like insisting she must eat her meals with him every day, take walks with him etc. You know forced proximity, she agrees to keep her fellow resistance fighters safe, the promise being they won't be harmed if she complies. Again its her being around him, being reminded of how things used to be between them, maybe she also sees glimpses of the Usul she fell in love with during these meals and walks and ends up falling in love with him all over again. That combined with, as said before, her realisation that he can see the future, him convincing her that he is doing it to prevent the fremen suffering a worse fate etc, keeps her at his side.

Green Green Paradise

So this one isn't particularly well thought out more of a vague idea that past through my head, but it was confirmed in an interview that Liet Kynes from Dune part 1 is Chani's mother. This isn't something that they have actually brought up in the films though, yet. But Dr Liet was a ecologist and was all about terraforming Arrakis and bringing water and greenery, which is very similar to the whole prophecy that the Lisan al Gaib will bring a green paradise.

Whilst Chani may not believe in the prophecy I could understand if she still had a dream of Arrakis becoming a green paradise because of her mother's own dream and her mother's background as a ecologist. Paul tells Liet in part 1 that as emperor he could turn Arrakis into a green paradise with a wave of his hand, well he's emperor now, so maybe he'll begin to deliver own this promise and maybe seeing the way he is changing Arrakis so that it has water and greenery makes Chani go back as she wants to be apart of helping build her mother's dream for Arrakis.

Denial

So another option is Denis could throw us a complete curve ball of a plot twist and actually Chani doesn't come back to Paul. Maybe it was only one, or a few possible futures where Chani came back and Paul was just in denial that it wouldn't happen, he thinks that as he can see multiple futures now he can definitely manipulate the events into ensuring she does come back, only he fails and the Dune 3 we get is one where Chani instead is full on resistance leader, fighting against Paul with all she's got. Maybe she even ends up killing him in the end. I have seen this outcome suggested quite a bit and comments like 'I'd love that for her' which whilst I understand the sentiment, no judgements here, personally I wouldn't love that for her. I think as betrayed as she feels, as angry as she is, it is clear that she still deeply loves Paul and I think sadly she always will, that's the true tragedy of their love story, they're on opposite sides/views but still love each other. I think it was clear from her reactions when she thought Paul was dead after drinking the wol and when he was stabbed during the duel with Feyd that Paul dying is her worst nightmare. I can't imagine how heartbreaking it would be for her to be the one to kill him herself, I think it would destroy her, so its not something I would want for her. But I also can't argue that it is a fairly common troupe, the whole love interests where one goes to the dark side, and it ends with one having to kill the other. I'm personally still traumatised from when Buffy was forced to kill Angel in BTVS and don't know if I could take it again.

I Guess We'll Never Know

This is kind of a theory but also more like my worst fear. So another mild spoiler alert for Dune messiah, but the book actually takes place 12 years after the events of Dune part 2. I did put forward a theory that maybe what they'll do for the third film is spend the beginning part showing what happened right after Dune 2, showing the holy war and what happens with Chani etc and then have the time skip a little later in the film and cover the events from the dune messiah book. But my biggest fear is that they will just stick with the time skip and Chani will just be there and we won't really get any explanation as to why she returned to Paul. Maybe they'll just decide that Paul's one line of 'she'll come to understand' is enough of an explanation. I mean I personally would consider this a huge detriment to Chani's character so I am really hoping this doesn't happen, but I'll guess we'll just have to wait and see.

So those are all the theories I have for now. I would love to know what other theories people have but until next time thanks for reading.

Dan and Phil Appreciation Week Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

aka i forgot to participate in DNPAW again but also now my arm is fucked up so im just gonna type my responses instead of drawing them YAYYY shout out as always to @dpgdaily for creating this lil week event :3

Day 1: Favourite baking video

honestly probably slime and sadness cinnamon rolls, but monster pops has such a special place in my heart for being the sorta the tipping point of dnp's descent into truly unfiltered horniness, conjoined baking and pumpkin carving if that counts are also great (i just like halloween lmao)

Day 2: Favourite DanAndPhilCRAFTS video

EASILY slime. like cmon it blew every other dapc out of the water, while at the same time fully connecting them all so it's like you HAVE to watch them all together to grasp at the final picture presented. god im obsessed with it come join the crafts theory server

Day 3: Favourite What Dan and Phil Text Each Other

wdapteo 2 forever, but 4 is super super close. yon? pote. sent at 4:32 am! WHAT IS WRONG WITH US??

Day 4: Favourite Day in the Life

oof probably ditl manchester... the vibes are so so special... australia is really good too very comfy!!! (im actually a tiny bit of a ditl hater lmao mainly just the parts that are strong on the weeb / weird about asian stuff energy but like the vibes are still nice fhdhdh)

Day 5: favourite Phil is not on fire

pinof 9!!!! its special to me as the first one i watched while being like. In The Phandom, at least somewhat. and also it being dnp's fav really made me realize why i liked it so much like i KNEW it wasnt just cuz it was my first as a Full On Phannie, it had an energy to it that was so authentically chaotic and fun and just goofing off with each other and giggling like moreso than the previous like 5 pinofs, it had pinof 1 energy but with 8 more years worth of love in it

Day 6: Favourite Dan vs Phil

prob the first golf with friends LOL i love the shitty grass turf hats, i love the stupid golf bants and the creepy golf ball print they used for the board, dan's curls were in peak form, phil's bluey green shirt made his eyes even bluer, phil squishy dan's face >w<~~~~~

Day 7: Your overall favourite Dan and Phil Series

HMMMM. undertale is my go-to when im particularly sad, the sims s1 is always good to put on in the background, but i think dapwepinof... the pinof reaction mini-series they did in gamingmas is prob my top fav right now. it's everything i love, it's nostalgic, it has some behind the scenes reveals, openly gay dan and phil reacting to closet dan and phil being extremely gay, and REFLECTION!!!! and like, the fact that in the silliest lil annual video series in the world there ended up being a lot of thought and care put into it in wanting to keep it as a sacred tradition for ten whole years, it went from whimsical by nature to whimsical with Purpose and finally whimsical with Love and that means so much to me, as a proponent of queer joy above all else.

~ listen I can't seem to wrap my head around how people don't really understand that Dumai's Wells was indeed a win for the Dark? I thought it was obvious? People are either seemingly against it (saying that it was proof that the books are sexist or w/e) or that it was badass (which goes against the obvious theme of the chapters and the aftermath reactions from, especially, Perrin).

Canonically I'm pretty sure it was a win for the Dark. As well as I figured that it was to show that where the supposed "matriarchal" society was not working as will the supposed "patriarchal" system not work either. SINCE I AM FULLY ON BOARD for the "they have to come together at the end" theory that should have been fully fleshed out for A Memory of Light but, of course, we didn't get to see much of that. but fml people it had to play out.

Rand having Aes Sedai swearing fealty was not seen in a positive light in the books so I'm not sure why people are like YEAH SO COOL or UGH THIS SEXIST NARRATIVE.

anyways someone could articulate this better I'm sure. I'm rambling. I just keep seeing BOTH opinions and never one where it's taken at this point of view unless it's a quieter take. AM I MISREADING THIS, EHHH?

[doberbutts]

i see the way people have taken intersectionality to mean 'you're privileged bc of one identity and oppressed bc of another therefore you're privileged' so often in radfem circles regarding marginalized men and it sure is fascinating to me because they're going on about how black men are oppressed for their blackness and not their masculinity, but then, somehow.....none of them wants to acknowledge the way white women are privileged for their whiteness. they change the definition of intersectionality to fit their narrative in a way that is just like. say the quiet part out loud.

if you're going to use intersectionality to disguise your racism, homophobia, ableism, transphobia, say that (men who are poc, gay, disabled, trans, aren't oppressed for being men, they're oppressed for all of those identities). you're practically begging to but you know you'd get shit for it so you steal terms like these and use them to get people on board. like....it's so transparent and i'm so tired of white people taking black theory and distorting the meaning and then those posts taking off and going viral and reinforcing the misunderstanding of that theory.

The very end of the article sums up your point about marginalized men:

Indeed, intersectionality is intended to ask a lot of individuals and movements alike, requiring that efforts to address one form of oppression take others into account. Efforts to fight racism would require examining other forms of prejudice (like anti-Semitism, for example); efforts to eliminate gender disparities would require examining how women of color experience gender bias differently from white women (and how nonwhite men do too, compared to white men).

And it's important to keep in mind the original context for which Crenshaw coined the term. Examining a case in which black women were told there was no evident discrimination in employment, with employers citing that they hired both black men (so surely can't be racist) and white women (so surely can't be sexist), while the black women argued that they were being skipped over due to being a combination of those factors rather than just one or the other. In this way, black women were at a specific intersection of discrimination, one in which it was impossible to separate the "black" from the "woman".

And when viewing things through an intersectional lens, we discover that we are all culpable of harm towards each other and that no one is fully innocent. It is important to then address the power imbalance by acknowledging and reconciling with these differences in experiences, rather than continuing to posit that one experience must take precedence over any of the others.

Instead there is this focus on uniqueness to the point where people rabidly insist that no one else shares similar experiences to their specific intersection. But black theory tells us this is not true- to dismantle anti-black racism we must examine and dismantle other forms of ethnic oppression and discrimination. To dismantle misogyny we must examine and dismantle other forms of sexism and gender-based oppression, yes, even that of men, like it or not the very coiner of the term mentions that when marginalization comes into play, gender still plays a role in the oppression of marginalized men.

As I have said multiple times on this blog, most of what I opine here is black feminist theory and black antiracist theory. I was raised by a deaf black man who grew up during the Civil Rights Movement. I'm usually getting this straight from the source here, folks.

(Also also the foundational ideals of intersectionality were written before Crenshaw by W. E. B. Du Bois- but he did not take gender or gender identity into account when he wrote his theory, and Crenshaw was- rightfully- unsatisfied with that.)

People often don't like doing this because it is hard. And because at some point you take a step back from what you've uncovered and go "hey wait a second, that means the whole system stinks, even the part I actually like". And that's a difficult situation to reconcile because it means to truly rid ourselves of these problems, we would need a complete and total society reform, and that is so very difficult and most people will not be on board for that.

And this is where a lot of the pushback happens, and the deliberate misunderstanding, because it's easier to go "you just want to be a victim" than to examine that maybe we are all victims of the system. It's where we get people saying "wokeness is a ploy installed by the Jewish elite to incite the black mob to purge the country of white people" when the concept of being woke was about paying attention to your political and physical surroundings and making smart, safe choices for your community rather than letting barely-disguised dangerous people (violent racists) and politics (segregation and Jim Crow laws) continue unchecked. It's where we get people saying "black lives matter hates cops and wants to kill all cops and hunt them for sport" when BLM was founded by people who were just tired of their community members being killed in the street for nonsense crimes (or no crimes at all) and wanted the killings to stop. It's where we get people woefully misunderstanding defund the police and prison abolition and civil disobedience and even boycotts and walk-outs and sit-ins and strikes and more.

And it's where we get people hearing someone say "I am hurt in this way, because of the sum of my whole identity, and it informs the way people harm me" and react with "LEARN INTERSECTIONALITY". Most recently, a white disabled person telling a black disabled person to learn intersectionality because the black disabled person (ME) said it's better to meet as many people's accessibility needs as possible rather than prioritize one over the other.

And this is why I do not trust black theory in white mouths because time and time again white people will pick and choose what parts of black theory apply to them that they like, separate them from the context, and then use those parts as a bludgeon to silence black people who are talking about the rest.

I need tips on how to study/revise for chemistry,especially physical chemistry.

Dear anon, I don't know whether you meant boards or competitive exams, so I covered for both since it is based on common ground anyway.

So👇

There is no other way that we could do well in physical chemistry except practice. A LOT.

What I understand about this dilemma (that I too have at this point, not fully solved) is that by the time you do at least 15 questions on a topic, you can get a grasp on the important formulae/which topics the questions hail from.

Mole concept : limiting reagent, M, m, w/w or w/v% (this particular option is not that frequent), reactions with stoichiometry coinciding with chemical kinetics, electrochemistry and metallurgy

Atomic Structure : which spectral series is in which region of the spectrum, sums with ratio of wavelengths (largest, smallest, comparison of different series), emission and absorption spectra, parts correlating to the physics part of energy levels and radius of hydrogen-like species

Gaseous state : GRAHAM'S LAW OF DIFFUSION (I cannot stress this enough, do it), the Cv and Cp values for Mono, Di and Polyatomic gases which connects thermo in Chem as well as Physics, mean free path proportionalities

Thermo (unit) : everything. All the laws, equations and graphs. adiabatic, isothermal, isochoric, my head and my tongue. Do every numerical in thermo. It's a weak point for a lot of us and we, right now, have the time to make it... Well, a not weak point.

Equilibrium : learn all the formulae and before you learn the formulae visualise/logically understand how something is happening. Log tables, roots, figure out some way to make decimal operations easier. A lot of sums from this one tpo because it isn't that connected to physics like thermo or electrochemistry

Redox : Make a trick for recognising which one is oxidation and which one is reduction. Balancing reactions must be practiced.

Solid state : Repetitive revision of the lattice examples is the only way we can remember them. Muscle memory can serve us well here. Make charts or stick it up on your wall to look at it every few days if that works for you. The rest are formulae and 4-5 numbers to be remembered. Density sums, chemical formula sums, voids sums <- practice

Solutions : formulae, how you get van't hoff factor for a compound, association and dissociation which is linked with electrochemistry molar conductivity part

Electrochemistry : formulae, graphs, molar conductivity sums, kohlrausch's law sums, electrolyte difference/spotting (will help in equilibrium), the cathode and anode of cells (this rarely comes)

Chemical Kinetics : some zero and first order reaction examples (will connect to radioactivity in nuclei chapter), half life formulae, and the 75% and 99% concentration formulae too (these 2 are not there in the tbk but it makes life easier in both phy and chem), all the graphs (should be able to read them even if they are messed around with or changed a bit)

Surface Chemistry : gold number sums, coagulation power and value orders in sols, recognising positive and negative sols, purification methods, electrophoresis definition (you'd be surprised how many times this came), helm holtz double layer theory, tindal's effect (connects a bit to optics, but vaguely), micelles (connects to bot biomolecules and cell unit). This chapter is very theoretical so keep revising stuff you don't get at first glance

Now briefly about Inorganic and Organic Chemistry:

Inorganic : write all the orders and the logics behind it. Some trends are weird so remember them with some trick (keep the tricks to the minimum in inorganic btw, it messes with your brain otherwise). That's as far as I've gotten with inorganic myself, but we can still work on it. If you have any advice regarding this, please do share.

Organic : understand the mechanism behind any reactions. Not just the way it's given in the textbook, but try to connect all organic chapters to each other. Practice a lot of questions, the direct ones as well as the weird ones. Organic does not have any tricks, it just requires practice and that can be done if we understand how each reaction goes about and why we do it.

Hope this helps you with Physical Chemistry and the like🤗 Thank you for approaching me with this so I could think out loud

Have a nice productive day!

[operationtimeguard]

decided to draw out an au of coa v and dbd because i love mashing my intrests together at mach speed

more rambles/explanation under the cut!

this au came to mind because trickster from coa 3 shares a name w trickster, ji-woon hak and then i started thinking about who would fit everyone else. the basis of coa/call of the abyss is a server wide tournament taking place around december revolving around the abyss and a different theme each time - mostly incolving lovecraftian elements. they’re all connected to one another through being novels written in universe! theres more information on the id5 wiki if you’re intrested ^^

since coa v’s my favourite of them all, i decided to draw out this one first! coa v’s premise is based on the 1927 film ‘metropolis’ as well as the lovecraft novel colour out of space. from what i understand, metropolis is a city of eternal night on an isolated island: within the lights of the city lurks the ‘colour out of space’ which merges the people of metropolis with machinery and itself. the rebels (survivors) stage a media war against it (& eternal aurora) to reveal the secrets behind metropolis and warn the civilians.

the concept for this is basically the same: replacing the general concept of the abyss with the entity and placing the coa’s within the realm as a whole. im also not going to stick to the strict formula of 5 survivors and 1 hunter to have more fun with the idea.

anyway! onto the fun part: the whole who’s who. so far everyones got a basic sketch down/basic premise but these two are the only ones i’ve managed to colour/polish.

not pictured are paper boy/mail carrier in this au as charlotte & victor deshayes, tabloid as zarina kassir and neon vanguard as david king. will do my best to follow up with their designs as soon as i can! also sorry if my handwritings messy

pirate radio/adam francis:

initially felix was my choice for pirate radio: he’s got the blonde hair & beard combo after all, but i realised that auditorium fit felix way better, so i went back to the drawing board and settled on adam - i remember seeing theories about if there were to be a protagonist for dbd he’d be it and thus the role settled with him. plus his coat ended up reminding me of pirate radio so! happy accidents

his stuck with the original the most minus a lot of the body horror being adapted: such as the headphones and the arm. half of it is because i didn’t initially want it to be to body horrory like the original, but also because i am very biased towards pirate radios default. he’s handsome and gold and purple is my favourite colour combo. plus the concept art was very... lacking aside from elements that wouldn’t belong on adam (such as jose’s prosthetic). that ended up being adapted to be more of a control panel that can be removed.

decided not to go fully blond and for more of a gradient, because i thought it’d suit him better.

anyway he’s the least affected by the effects of colour out of space of their group: mainly has the cd in his chest as his main drawback. everything else is easily removable. tries to spread the rebels goals through teaching via the radio if that makes sense.

the coat tassels were inspired by dazai bsd to try and make him stand out a little more from the original.

auditorium/felix richter

as mentioned above, felix was basically my first choice for auditorium and that hasn’t changed - him and luca have a lot of similarities as an architect and an inventor respectively plus the whole blue suit and blonde combo made me go “yea thats felix”

his was also where i started to majorly deviate from what was canon and go with my own thing: mostly because of the concept art making me go “oh wait i like this more this would be fun” resulting in this. granted looking back he still looks fairly similar, but it was the first push to have some more fun with this project

the mask came from my love for visitor from the future!

in contrast to adam: he and charlotte are the most affected by colour out of space: mainly being his nonremovable projector and eye plate. the projector spins and can broadcast movies if he closes his eye. david likes spinning the projector

does all the tech work for the rebels: does more so architecturally things than canon auditorium, but he keeps them safe and alive. doesn’t like to be publically involved with most things, but they’re like a family in a sense.

"Its 10pm and Id like to read at least one more volume" I said before proceeding to stay up until 4:30am reading this manga until I was finished

So yeah, Im writing this at around 8:30am having gotten three hours of sleep and one hour of laying in bed awake, after I finished volume 30 chapter 165 of the black hutler and Id like to talk about some of my thoughts

I know that the emglish and japanese version are already further along than that (I mean, if my research was correct volume 31 did come out in german already, I just couldnt find a physical copy at either of my local bookstores), so I would appreciate it if you didnt spoil me

So yeah, non-spoilers first I guess:

Honestly, I had kind of mixed feelings about a lot of the... revelations ? is probably the best word? I dont know, like, I was reading this and I just kinda let myself be taken along for this thrilling rollercoaster of emotions but while I was doing that, I couldnt help but notice this nagging feeling of "uohhhh, i dont really like where this going" in the back of my mind, which made for a bit of a 'conflicting' read. Even now that Im fully awake looking back on it, I still dont quite know how to feel. I feel like with these kinds of wild storylines it always more or less depends on the conclusion, so I guess I'll wait for that

Also, as for my theory about the people from the Undertakers medallions being people who entered contracts with demons, Im a little less sure about that now?? Idk why because nothing happened that would contradict this

And thats pretty much it, I'll go into some of the more spoiler-y details now

HOLY HELL THAT TWIN TWIST WAS INSANE WTF MAN

like, I was kinda spoiled for this because Ive read a few fanfics where this is sort of mentioned, although it qas alqays in a pretty vague way and I was still shocked

Heres what I wrote to my friends in a discord server Im in right after the older brother showed up:

"Oh god

This arc was already some insane bullshit but Something just happened sorry if I spam in advance

Theres two Ciels

I was already kinda spoiled for this but still

like, okay, so in the previous arc Ciel had to be forcefed w/ a funnel so he wouldnt die of mustard gas poisoning and it triggered some traumatic memories from his past and he had an episode where he wouldnt let any adult touch him and during whole ordeal he would, idk dream or hallucinate or something

And he would hallucinate about himself standing on this beg chess board with a pretty outfit and a version of himself without the contract seal

And I was like 'surely this cant be literal, it has to be symbolic" yknow, the version of Ciel without the contract seal is an untainted version, possibly what he vouldve been if it wasnt for that day

NOPE

I WAS WRONG"

so yeah, that was something.

I still dont know how to feel about this, like, it makes sense even though its pretty clear to me that they came up with this twist a bit later on (I believe they had this idea a little before the Campania arc, I remember that scene during the extended flashback where hes standing in front of his parents graves also having a small cut-off panel with a gravestone with Ciels name on it), but ugh. Idk I'll just see how it goes I guess

I am sooooo curious about whats up with the Undertaker and the Phantomhives like ??? Bro, he CRIED looking at a picture of Vincent thats so weird. And obviously he went through all the trouble of reviving Ciel thats wild. So yeah, very excited to see where that goes

Im also very excited to see what theyre gonna do with Soma now. I really liked Agnis death and I while it felt like his change in personality was a bit jarring, I do like him becoming more jaded like Ciel. Theres a vertain irony to it bc he did admire him and sort of wanted to be like him in some way

Ngl I found it so frustrating how Lizzy and the Midfords and Tanaka just fully abandoned (our) Ciel after the other one showed up. Lizzy especially because its like

Welcome to My Blog!

My name is Angel, I’m 21 and use they/them pronouns. As you could probably tell this is a blog dedicated to Stranger Things; it is mostly going to be used for posting and reblogging fan-made media, screenshots/recordings, media of the cast outside the show, theories, and ship content. This blog isn’t super serious but I’ve been around fandom spaces long enough to know I unfortunately need to lay down ground rules, so here they are:

General Rules

Racism, Misogyny, Homophobia, Transphobia, Antisemitism, Ableism - all forms of bigotry are prohibited. DNI, blocked on sight

TERFs DNI, blocked on sight (I have to say this one specifically cuz they think they aren’t bigots)

Zero tolerance for hatred towards the cast; you can criticize and be upset by a choice they might make, but outright hatred (see 1) is an instant block

I’m uncomfortable with extreme k!nk content (vore, excrement, vomit, inflation, rape, etc.) so I will not post or reblog anything of that nature; adding it to a post or reblog of mine is an instant block

Being mean to me or others = blocked

Shipping

I do not ship real people so if you do DNI, you’ll be blocked

I do not ship pedophilic ships (Dustin x Steve, Mike x Eddie, etc.) DNI, blocked on sight

I do not ship incest (Will x Jonathan, Mike x Nancy, etc.) DNI, blocked on sight

I ship the characters who are minors but only SFW, if you have or want n/s/f/w content of them DNI, blocked on sight

I will not ever support straight-washing characters (Robin x any man, Will x any girl) DNI, blocked on sight

That being said I fully support queer ships and headcanons as long as they are about fictional characters and the ones about minors are SFW

I do not ship Chrissy x Eddie, I don’t know why it just kind of makes me uncomfortable cuz I don’t think they’ve confirmed her age but also the circumstances for them interacting are kind of ick for me. I don’t necessarily mind if other people do, I just won’t post or reblog it

Fan-made Media

I’m not an artist or a writer so any fanart or fanfics on this blog are not mine, they’re either reposted with permission or reblogged

I want to get back into making collages/mood boards/aesthetic boards so anything I create will be tagged as “#angel original” or “#angel og”

Any stolen works or blogs pretending to be someone and posting their stolen works will be reported and blocked

I myself am a cosplayer so I will reblog and post cosplay as long as it doesn’t violate any previous guidelines I’ve set, i.e. pedophilic ship, n/s/f/w content of a minor, someone doing blackface (it’s sad I have to say that but that’s happened so many fucking times)

One final thing:

I will never post or reblog Billy. Sorry to the Billy stans but he’s racist and an abuser; if you ever see anything even mentioning Billy on this blog it’s either talking about him in a post centered around Max or slandering him

That’s all! If you have questions just ask! 🖤

plots please ! for either jonathan or gareth !

⤏ send me “plots please”… and I’ll respond with  3  (or more)  interesting  plots / relationships / connections  I can think of for our muses! 

OH !!!

1- W/ Jonathan ! Ozzy's a conspiracy theorist, yeah?? WELL JONATHAN'S A PHOTOGRAPHER. They could definitely walk around suspicious/ iffy areas and attempt to take photos to prove some of Ozzy's theories?? Jonathan's the type to believe things fully when he sees them, but after EVERYTHING HAPPENS, he's more likely not to deny anything without proof it doesn't exist either; plus cool photo opportunities?? He's IN.

2- W/ Gareth ! They're both in hellfire, so they'd probably be the easier interaction! We could do a bit of a pre-established friendship OR a proxy-friends situation? The sort of thing in which they're both friends with the same person ( Eddie ) but haven't spoken much on their own?? THEN a friendship could be built up via several interactions?

3- This is ALSO for Ozzy and Gareth! A thread in which Ozzy convinces Gareth of a conspiracy he has?? And Gareth at first is like, skeptical, BUT THEN HE'S TOTALLY ON-BOARD AND ADDS ONTO THE POINTS OZZY HAS????

lmfaooo found the letter witkacy wrote to his wife when stefania gave his exhibit a perplexed & tepid review & fully 10 years later he published a pissy riposte entitled "et tu zahorska stefania contra me?" insisting she ~*~didn't understand~*~ his Theory of Pure Form. i gotta check my archival source but i'm 90% sure it was przeglad wspolczesny not przeglad warszawski? she was on the editorial board of the latter w/ mieczyslaw wallis (or was it treter? too many mieczyslaws on the dance floor) for awhile in the 20s so easy mistake to make tho. "a scierwo! [...] taka gadzine wyhodowalem" was probably many people's response to reading stefania's reviews of their work. “temu bydleciu zahorskiej” - !!! dude gets critically panned by one (1) woman,

NCT127 falling in love with a s/o with a time-consuming job like a lawyer or a doctor

NCT 127 with an s/o who has a time-consuming job

this is so cute, thanks for requesting! i made this in a format in the ways that the boys might show their care when you’re so busy with your job :) long as hell LOL enjoy!!

brief spoilers for shang-chi if you haven’t watched! i just watched it this week lol it was really good

→ TAEIL would direct conversations to a more neutral stance. it’s not that he wants to talk about himself, but sometimes if you don’t want to talk about your case or patients, he easily slips into conversation about theories or his favourite tv show or your rundown of what groceries to take for the next time you head to the supermarket. just really normal small things that take your mind off the stress, especially at night when you’re laying in bed and just before you’re drifting off to sleep, the two of you would engage in a topic that you both know fairly well about and then you’re usually the first to succumb to sleep. taeil purposely picks out topic he knows will excite you (and bc he knows you’re passionate about it, he reads up on it which allows a well-balanced convo). if you’re rambling on about a topic, then he’ll occasionally play the guitar while laying down, just simple melodies that bring a lot of peace to the room.

“wait- how d’you like this melody?” taeil softly says, changing it instantly when you commented on the previous, discordant one. your nod encourages him to carry on with the plucking of his fingers while you yourself continue with your rambles. “so i’m saying right, it seems totally unfair for him, and you’d think that, right? but all he ever does is whine and moan about his misfortunes, plus his character is so terribly written i kinda feel sorry for-“

the halted melody prompts a sharp turn of your turn to the guitar, which you almost collide with, “what?” taeil only shrugs. “nothin’. just like how passionate you get about the show, it’s cute.” your boyfriend smiles after, ignoring how his words affect you and how your cheeks heat up at it.

→ JOHNNY is one to take you out after your work. it’s not to a super intense, high-energy place like a club or anything, but small little dates that won’t take up much time. eating dinner at a restaurant, walk in the park, small cafe trip, strolling through supermarket to make fun of brand names. if you’re too tired that day, he always finds a way to make your time at home fun. from setting up a small karaoke session, to maybe making a pillow fort, to trying out new cuddling positions, he has everything on his mind. always showing you things to cheer you up if you happen, from memes to funny videos. is low-key down for you to review crime/doctor shows too, just to see how accurate they nail it. your time at home is consuming endless pieces of media until your tummies hurt or you’re sniffling at a movie together.

“hold on- lemme show you this video,” johnny’s hand is outstretched to you once he finds the video and your spoon full of food is left near your mouth. you proceed to watch the low quality video which your boyfriend claims to be the funniest video on earth.

W-HOR? WAH? the girl’s finger in the video traces over the word “who” as she struggles to pronounce it, with presumably her sister in the background prompting her. the repeated pronunciation of the word makes you snort, while the wheezing and the loud NO in the background causes you to fully erupt into laughter. johnny simply smiles at another successful attempt to make you smile.

→ YUTA always has a hand on you when you return home. he brings you into a hug, he guides you by your back, you have to eat with one hand bc he can’t keep his hand off of you. he hopes his little touches will ease your tiredness even by a bit and if you don’t want it, he’ll stop, but it’s yuta’s way of showing he cares without words. busy days with yuta usually involve just sitting in silence as you catch up on a show or a series, or even listening to a song in silence and enjoying each other’s company. he will talk if you want to, but if not that’s fine too, preferring more to stroke your hair in silence and think about how much he loves you. becomes very sappy when you’re in the quiet of your room and generally is very fond of the small pockets of time you get to spend before you two fall asleep. likes that you’re so resolute in your job but can be soft around him behind closed doors.

“you comfortable?” yuta calls out, barely above a whisper as he wraps an arm tighter around you. there’s comfortable ministrations that his does with his fingers, massaging the skin under your pajamas while you snuggle deeper into his chest. humming, you tighten your hold around his top.

“i am, yeah,” you can’t care much for the tv show on the screen now, with empty takeout boxes and tissues littering the coffee table. you feel the gentle kiss of yuta on your head before you’re drifting off to dreamland to a scratchy, 60s jazz song playing through the speakers.

→ TAEYONG would always welcome you back with a table set and food ready, always. he knows that food is the way to someone’s heart and you eating his food always makes him happy and offers to clean-up. lets you shower first if you come back together, puts you before himself very often that sometimes you have to tell him to tone it down because you don’t want him ending up more tired than he already is. following up on this, taeyong would show his love by cooking your lunches for you. when he has the time he makes the effort to put it in a nice bento or box for you to eat. he also does the general chores around the house (assuming the two of you live together) so the bed will be a little less messy when you come back, the floor’s cleaner, the countertops aren’t so cluttered with stuff. even if there’s nothing to clean up, he always these small little things before you come back, and even if you don’t notice it, he sees the way you’re able to navigate the space or when you’re more at ease and it makes him smile.

“do you want to shower first?” taeyong calls out softly, admiring the clean house he’s managed to do up before he went to meet you, “i’ll just hang around until you’re done.”

“you need to prioritise yourself too, yong,” you pout, rubbing a hand up and down his forehead as you toe off your shoes, “how ‘bout we shower together? you did clean the house up pretty nicely.” that earns a grin and a kiss from taeyong, who goes straight the prepare the bath. you chuckle, “he’s already forgotten what i’ve told him.”

→ DOYOUNG supports you silently and listens to your day when you return home and talk about your patient or a case you’re working on. he gives you his own input when he sees fit but other than that he wants you to explain the details. being a doctor and lawyer is crazy and hectic and just wants you to know that you’re appreciated in the workforce. the way he might show his love when caring for a busy s/o like you is when he brings you stuff that you might’ve forgotten like an umbrella or your lunch since you were rushing out of the house earlier. he doesn’t mind going the extra mile to you literally bc it’s a win-win! you get your food, he gets to see you, etc. if not he’ll send someone over to pass it to the receptionist, or he’ll make up for it by meeting you outside the office to apologise and then ask you what you wanna do so he can make it up to you.

“did you manage to get the bento i bought you?” doyoung asks worriedly through the phone, holding up a hand to the staff member who was beckoning him to his photoshoot. “you bought so much!” you exclaim, with a shoulder to your ear, phone perched in between, “thank you doyoung.”

“’m sorry i couldn’t come over to give you your lunch today, angel. i’ll see you after you’re done with work, okay?” you smile at that, shooting a quick reply before you delved into your food.

→ JAEHYUN would honestly serve you once you come back from a busy day tbh. where taeyong does the chores around the house, jaehyun helps by doing the chores on YOU and only you. giving you massages, bringing you dinner on a tray, other unsaid things… and maybe even carrying you from room to room lol he’s relentless and just goes you need to rest, lemme help. big gentleman even when you reject him, doing smaller things like constantly checking up on you, pulling the blanket higher onto your body, cuddling you closer to his body when it’s cold. on top of that jaehyun also one that would meet you at your workplace and take you out like johnny, but those dates are extremely chill. he lets you choose, and when you’re not sure, he takes you on a night picnic at the field or a rooftop, just dinner, but outside bc the view is really nice and he likes the way you look even after a long day of working.

“where should we park our mats?” your head moves from left to right, looking for a suitable spot while you tug on jaehyun’s hand. he hums at it, searching for a spot just like you are. the wind’s blowing gently when you settle near a tree, mat occasionally flying up which you counter with your heavy laptop bag.

“any idea where we can get desserts later?” you call out as a half-joke, not expecting jaehyun to pull up his phone to instantly search for a baskin robbins. “there’s one close-by, wait here for a minute and i’ll go get one for you-“ you laugh before pulling him back down, “don’t worry! we’ll go together, plus i don’t want to be left alone.” jaehyun softly smiles, nodding along as he takes out the food he packed.

→ JUNGWOO has similar intentions like johnny, except he would just wanna stay home. where johnny’s goal is to make you laugh, jungwoo just likes doing things together at home. playing board games, folding the clothes together, making dinner together. it’s not that he doesn’t want to do it, but when he’s given free time he sometimes just likes to laze at home and rest from schedules. he sometimes takes himself out of bed to help before you come back but he’s lazy lolol. loves it when you’re both equally tired and living off 5h of sleep. it’s not romanticising the lack of sleep but your schedules just don’t allow you to sleep equal amounts of hours of sleep. through that, you’re at least able to connect over sleepy talk and droopy smiles while you make the bed or assemble a lego piece or playing video games. if jungwoo’s energetic enough he doesn’t mind doing the crazier activities but he generally prefers those activities done in semi-silence while you exchange jokes and funny videos.

“noooo- no! you only need to move three times, you’re cheating-“ jungwoo pouts and moves back your playing avatar back three spaces on the board game. you purse your lips, not expecting him to see it since he was particularly invested in the movie playing on the screen. knowing it was a shitty film, you tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted. with eyes glued to the screen a few seconds earlier, you took your chance to move down one more space in order to get the benefit on the game board.

“you’ll get to buy a house soon, honey,” jungwoo grins cheekily, laughing even more when he’s able to move four steps, landing on the square that you wanted. now it was your turn to pout as he flips the card for property purchases, happily placing it next to his five other houses. “you’re so annoying!” you say as you fall back on the bean bag, but jungwoo doesn’t believe it when he sees a smile poking out from behind the hands shielding your face..

→ MARK sends you a looooot of texts. your convos with him are just him spamming questions or sending you memes. on every platform LMAO he has tweets sent, ig dm’s are blowing up from the weirdass nct memes that some of the fans make, he uses the official nct tiktok account to send you viral trending videos and he’s like we should try this!!!! and it’s a couple doing acrobatics or some shit. he’s crazy. anyway, he just likes to share things with you, from songs, to playlists, to youtube videos or interesting topics like crime psychology or movie theories etc. he knows that you’re hardly going to see it in your job but he sees the way you react across the room when he sends you stuff so he’s sure that you’ll like it after you get off work. sometimes likes to rickroll you, he knows it’s an old trend/troll thing but the thrill of seeing your frustrated replies always make him laugh out loud. when you’re back home, the both of you review whatever you send each other and then laugh together at them.

“hey, babe, check out this video,” mark says in a text, pasting a twitter link to a video. the video starts out interesting enough, mentioning something about a fun fact with stunning visuals has you wanting to learn more. when the guy in the video starts on his first word, the video immediately changes to rick astley with never gonna give you up. you mutter a small fuck under your breath, gaining a bit of attention from your colleagues during lunch break.

under the table, you flip him off in a picture, which he responds with a big smile of his that’s obviously teasing you for falling for it. you’re going to get it when i get back home!!!!! on a new high, you text the message and set your phone down, already excited for the evening where’d you be able to spend your time with him.

→ HAECHAN is a mix of everything kinda. he’d bring you out after work sometimes and other times likes to stay at home, mainly takes you out to eat after work, but that’s the extent of his after-work-escapades, he doesn’t want to tire you out too much. i think one prominent things he likes to do to is vlog to you, send you videos of what he’s doing on set or at home and just treats your convo like a bank for endless videos. y’know how there’s this video feature in telegram? he sends sooo many of those that you have the time of your life watching those on the ride back home. if you have time, you HAVE to facetime him during your lunch break and tell him how you’re doing and how’s your work coming along. do i have to kick someone’s ass for making you feel uncomfortable? is that patient being creepy again? and you have to explain that haechan, no, that patient is an elderly you cannot beat his ass. he’s like i don’t care, creepy dudes are not excused!!! and you can’t help but smile at that. always wants to be talking to you, close to you. if one day, you’re able to bring him to your job, this man follows you around like a lost puppy and just admires what you do, it’s endearing.

“ah, wait- you know how the sister, xia ling was sent to shut down the ten rings army? well… i just reviewed some of the articles and-“ the video cuts into the next one, haechan’s face zoomed in as he looks straight into the camera, “y’know, she might become a villain one day, i don’t know. maybe i should review some of the comics too?”

“anyway! come look at our set for the music video! it’s sexy, outfits are fire, sets are so good, the choreo this time isn’t too hard, either.” haechan asks the other members to wave as he passes them by, no doubt going his own make-up and hair after the others were already done, “okay, gotta go- love you bye!” you smile at that, texting a quick reply before you open up a video of your own, whispering through the speaker with a promise that you’d see him tonight.

[alienssstufff]

Can I ask about what classpects you DO have for the dsmp homestuck crossover? I'm particularly interested in Quackity and Slime's, and also Sapnap's!

WHWHWH I'm not particularily the best at classpecting but for you anon [and my own closure] I will do my best uwu

DISCLAIMER: None of these classpects I pick are set in stone and this au is always open for other interpretations

- - -

[ QUACKITY : Prince of Mind ] Was Dead Set on making him a Mind Player - maybe it's because of the reminder of Terezi - maybe it's because his cc is a mf law student (if we were to discuss what cc! Quackity's classpect is, it probs won't be the same as c!Quackity but still a Mind Player in my head uwu)

There are many ways on interpreting classpects though I'll be citing from this acc in particular: dahniwitchoflight

Some quotes from there I want to point out this paragraph

"Outwardly they can be fiery and passionate in their intelligence and thoughts and theories of what they know, with tendencies to let emotion cloud their logic at times in really heated discussions. They like to be somewhat stubborn and showy about how they do things as well, loving to explain every single step and outcome of how they think and the true conclusions that they come to, to everyone who cares to listen."

Very fond of his recent lore stream, the whole Las Nevadas series in general >w< this explanation with the love for explaining every single step reminds me a lot of the Lessons he told to c!Slimecicle.

"Let emotion cloud their logic at times" summarises well about some of his (initial) goals of using Las Nevadas to exact revenge, a fuck you, to the people he doesn't like - and also using revenge to repeatedly punish c!Dream just because (after a certain point) he starts to like it etc "They use their Minds as weapons of destruction as well as destroying Minds."

The passion in a Prince of Mind's intelligence is so very much c!Quackity. I haven't fully experienced that arc yet but if there was any time to demonstrate that side of him - it would have been during the elections and the Pogtopia arc >:] His want for power and knowledge for politics and the law (haha) would have definitely come in useful there.

"use their own false or fake personas and different roles in order to appear more unique and unlike everyone else. Their roles that they play would also constantly be destroyed in favor of new ones when the next one goes stale and not so unique anymore." While not completely true, I'm a huge advocate for c!Quackity (in the DSMP) being part shapeshifter.

Taking up different roles, personas - reminds me of the WEEK 2's Lesson to c!Slimecicle: QUACKITY: ‘Politics are the way to power.’ If you want power you’ll have to play the politics game. And what that means is that you have to meet people, *moves on the board*- SLIME: *mimics his steps* QUACKITY: -make friends, create relationships of all sorts, e-even with people you don’t like. [SOURCE: DSMP Transcripts]

Not a clean cut analysis but the intention is there uwu

Alternatively was going to place c!Quackity as a THIEF of MIND instead but argued otherwise because of "They are really not team players, very unwilling to share anything about themselves with others." since that guy literally yearns for community and belonging - One of the core reasons he made Las Nevadas. Like he Wants to cooperate with people - Examples being:

>Wanting to build El Rapids (then Las Nevadas) with c!George, c!Karl and c!Sapnap - then feeling betrayed that they went without him [SOURCE: 'Quackity Confront Wilbur and George' at 39:20] >QUACKITY: *taken aback* No! Listen, listen. We’re a country! We’re together! We’re supposed to be together! *blocks another swing of Purpled’s sword* We’re supposed to help each other, Purpled!" [SOURCE: DSMP Transcripts] but looking at him now I guess he's just not very good at it whwhwh-

- - -

[ SLIMECICLE : Heir of Time ] Again classpect analysis taken from here: dahniwitchoflight

There’s a lot we’ve yet to learn about c!Slimecicle [cc!Quackity did say that its story isn’t over and theres much to develop] - nor am I as certain as I was for c!Quackity’s classpect  but the definition of what an Heir of Time is intrigues me: “One who Invites Manipulation of Time or one who Invites Manipulation through Time”  Its journey so far being to learn (up close) about humanity, how characters in the DSMP function, and to witness the turnout of these characters and the events (consequences) they have caused. By choosing to no longer be a bystander and bringing itself into the fray (making itself known) of the DSMP’s antics, c!Slimecicle in turn allows itself to be changed by these events too in order to learn and grow.

Another interesting definition about Time Players I found came from [SOURCE: classpect-analysis ]: “Time is all about time, endings, accepting death, and inevitability.” Connect this with c!Slimecicle’s talk about ‘turning to dust’ and nihilism and there you go uwu (Also I like the idea of c!Slimecicle and c!Karl as while theyre ‘technically’ both immortal on the DSMP, they could work together and/or discuss events that have happened / will happen as time players >w<)

Class wise, “Heirs naturally gravitate towards their Aspect or unconsciously seek it out. They huge amounts of Aspect related strength as well.” from the Heir of Time summarises c!Slimecicle’s current character, seeking to witness the outcome of things. “Their challenge is to not get stuck on one thing, to know when to move on and adapt” it moves slowly (literally) but it moves anyway. This can also be interpreted quite literally since it IS a slime x]c. From the documentary video in Quackity’s 3rd lore stream, slimes are known to ‘goophmorphisize’ into other things in order to Adapt. 

“Inherits the Time”, meaning they believe they have all the Time in the world, and they may be right. The guy is immortal (still killable sadly, but immortal and cannot die of old age)- confirmed its existed for many years.

“An Heir of Time will have huge amounts of patience and a great natural instinct for how things will end up. They naturally gravitate towards the end, destruction or concepts of fate and destiny, because of this, they may have an interest in ambiguous fortune-telling or astrology that predicts how you might die.” ^^^THIS. ENTIRE. PARAGRAPH. THIS ENTIRE PARAGRAPH ^^^.

“They might have the personality of a naive spiritual saint that hopes they will make a change, or to end something wrong in the world, but doesn’t really act to go through with it, its more of a nice thought to them.” This quote too - it’s not stupid it just tends to let things happen because thats what it’s been used to its whole life. We do learn in the Lessons segments of Quackity’s 4th (and latest) lore stream that c!Slimecicle has good intentions and morals - c!Quackity in the end learning more from c!Slimecicle in return about kindness.

TL;DR  c!Quackity is a PRINCE OF MIND and c!Slimecicle is a HEIR OF TIME

Again - definitely not set in stone - I’m eager to learn more about c!Slimecicle and c!Quackity when the time comes uwu

[moash]

okay okay if moash nightwatcher bondsmith. the nightwatchers whole bit is choice, being sort of a cosmic will-you-press-the-button, and growth via cultivation. moash is a character that has been denied agency and growth by other characters and the plot as a whole (and by sanderson too, most of the time). youve got me fully on board with this theory actually i think it would be satisfying

aaaaaaaaaaa yea i think it's an option w a lot of potential!!!! also just like any bondsmith that's not a kholin, not a monarch at all, would be so so sexy. we were robbed of bondsmith rlain. moash has also shown some leadership ability when he helps the singers and trains them the way kaladin trained b4. like i think there'd definitely have to be a hefty arc to get to the point where he's bondsmith ready but i can see it. and it would be a great way to bring back up the lighteyes/darkeyes stuff that's been dropped. also like for him to be a bondsmith and not join the radiants at urithiru would be like. so sexy. just all around. im into it!

[teresa-moyocoyotzin]

short recap of my thoughts on 5x09

okay so i was gonna rewatch the whole episode and do a blow-by-blow reaction post but i’m not sure i’ll have time and i kinda wanna focus on watching my fave scenes from the show before tonight. also, everyone else’s reaction posts p. much sum up my thoughts lol 

nonetheless, i just wanted to give my main takeaways on the episode a week later, in case anyone cares where i’m at going into the finale! gonna go over the things i liked first, anyone who wants to just remain positive and not see any salty takes might wanna just stick to reading the first part b/c i definitely rant a bit at the end lmao. we’re still having a fun time tho 😂

THINGS I LOVED

- i mean... i think we know LOL

- obviously. i loved james and teresa’s i love you scenes, and kisses, and OOF THAT SEX SCENE. if someone had told me we were gonna get that scene back in like 2017??? i probably would have started literally floating. i totally respect that people had very specific ideas of what they wanted out of those scenes and could have different feelings about it but NOT ME BABES I AM ECSTATIC!!! i did go into the episode with a ~feeling~ that we were gonna get at least one ILY in the episode, and i just had a feeling it would be james, or at least that he would say it first. i’ve already explained in my meta about the scenes why i think it makes sense that he said it first and why i love it that he did, so i won’t go into that here. but i went in having really no expectations for it other than that it was gonna happen! i was debating about whether it would happen really casually while they’re talking, or in like a big action scene, or really dramatic or what, and what i would prefer, and i came to the conclusion that i would love it no matter what lol, but i was really into the idea of james just. fucking. saying it. while they’re just talking about something really casually. so therefore i was pretty happy with it when we got sort of a mix! they’re talking about teresa’s insane death trap of a plan so there’s that drama of “i don’t want to lose you esp. not before saying ILY” kinda thing, but it’s also just. so simple and sure! and then teresa’s i love you is like the perfect scene for me where one character is super focused on something else (in this case, trying to protect the woman he loves! agh!) and the other is just like.. i love you!!!! SO GOOD

- let’s see, what the hell else happened in this ep?

- oh okay i really liked james and teresa’s vibes this episode, they were so focused on each other and had this very ride-or-die feeling about them like they knew that each of their plans was increasingly stupid and desperate and might not even get them where they wanna go, but they were IN IT TOGETHER no matter what 😭i wish we had gotten a callback to that line but at this point, i’m p. sure they Know they’re in it together, and we do too. so it’s okay. i love that teresa still asks his input and considers his opinions even if she does her own thing anyways haha 

- oh on that note, i LOVED the moment where their plans to kill Kostya aren’t working and Teresa says something like “If I can meet with him in person, I can kill him myself” and James just has this LOOK that just is the epitome of the “I am in love with a women who is DESIGNED TO STRESS ME OUT” meme lol, it made me giggle, v classic QOTS moment 

- oh and of course, I LOVED that scene with devon and james at the end!!!!!!!! i was also confused about how james was showing all his emotions in that scene esp. since he tries to be stoic about his feelings for Teresa around Devon, but now that i’ve read a few people’s thoughts about, it i’m fully on board w the theory that james and teresa already knew this was coming, b/c they’re smart, and b/c james knows devon wouldn’t have let him walk away to save Teresa at the beginning of the season without motivation (like having him in place to kill her when she’s no longer useful to the CIA) and THEREFORE james was sort of “overacting” to make it believable to devon (and the audience lol) that he didn’t know this was coming, didn’t want to do it, but felt like he had to, rather than the fact that they were already plotting a fake death. that makes a lot of sense to me and makes me really love all the layers to that scene. it does give me a little bit of hope that the finale ~teresa’s not really dead~ reveal will be at least a little well executed and not just shoved in at the very end. we shall see though! 

- alright i think that’s what i loved about the episode, if u don’t wanna hear me bitching about the little things then u should probably stop here!! just have to get out some of my saltiness lol 

THINGS I WAS ANNOYED ABOUT

- i’m just gonna get it out of the way, yes, i too was supremely annoyed at the amount of KA and Pote take suburbia; it was all 1000% predictable down to the raccoon and the cookies, and the point could have been accomplished in exactly 1 scene, maybe 2, certainly not like 10 or however many we got. whatever. ugh. 

- okay. OKAY. chicho. we need to talk about chicho. i for one, am not mad that he called pote, my boy was stressed. I AM HOWEVER, mad at the writers for making pote come back after saying he trusted chicho to take care of teresa now. like. it totally devalued THE WHOLE THING!! imo, pote shoulda stayed his ass at home where we had to watch him settle all episode, and chicho should have gotten THE HERO MOMENT HE DESERVED (esp. cuz he’s on first name basis w teresa now??) which ALSO WOULD HAVE MADE THE SCENE WHERE TERESA GIVES CHICHO THE DISTILLERY AND THE BAR SO! MUCH! MORE! MEANINGFUL!!!!! or just made it make sense at all? like .... i’m just so confused by that whole plotline like what was the point? chicho does nothing but call pote and gets T’s whole legacy in NOLA? 

- and don’t even get me started on how it makes ZERO sense that pote would have had to charge in at the last minute to save teresa when JAMES THE SNIPER W AMAZING AIM WHO IS LITERALLY. IN LOVE WITH HER. is standing outside like. ur telling me james and chicho (who again, is supposed to be her #2 after james now) just stood there like “oh hey pote yeah you go ahead we’ll wait here good luck” like WHAT also.. how did pote get past all the guards that made james stay outside? are we meant to believe pote is that sneaky? y’all. it just. doesn’t make sense. this whole plot situation maddens me more than anythings tbh UGH JUST MAKE IT MAKE SENSE 

- oksana’s daughter..... what’s her name again? idk b/c we only MET HER THIS WEEK....okay this amuses me but i’m also annoyed b/c like. there were so many other women who could have taken that spot in the opening sequence... Lil T, Castel, hell even Isabela??? Like idk how they could have done it but they put so much effort into her plot in the first seasons that i really thought she was gonna end up w/ Teresa in the end.. idk that would have been kind cool, Camila’s two “daughters” eventually working their way out of the life together..again idk how they could have realistically done it but i really do wish it had been someone we met before. if it had to be someone new this season, they could have introduced her earlier instead of one of the seemingly dozens of random guys we knew for 1 episode before they died... like.. give her some depth please. is she even gonna be in the finale? honestly she better be after making us listen to pote welcome her into the family... like the family u were supposed to leave so u could have an actual baby pote? the family that’s literally dispersing as we speak? also.. since when did pote love oksana so much anyways? also...... just.. if teresa’s gonna have some sort of daughter figure or whatever she’s supposed to be, wouldn’t it make sense to have her be the one to give the big welcome to the family speech? idk y’all..... i’m amused but also baffled at the sheer lack of planning behind this. did no one realize they needed someone for the opening scene until like. halfway thru the season? did they plan to have it be castel but they couldn’t get her for filming (hence all the weird castel plots?) INQUIRING MINDS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. it’s whatever tho lol 

- i just hope that what’s-her-name gets a lil bit of plot in the finale esp. since otherwise it might just be pote running around being pissy (i don’t actually think that haha but i am a lil nervous that teresa won’t come back until the last few mins and i’ll have to spend all episode looking at boaz and devon and pote and KA.. i haven’t looked at any spoilers tho so i’m still hopeful! i will probably make a post about my hopes going into the finale a lil later, both realistic and unrealistic :)
