Sawyer Hale and Beau Eris (@threedeemensional @thewikiplayer)

despite the literal universes worth of separation, against expectation bea and sawyer manage to somehow cross paths in the multiverse. After musical rebels Bea and Bella attempted to save Sawyer from his terrible dad, they quickly became friends with him once he was safe and sound. There, Bea and Sawyer's relationship became one of best friends, before eventually becoming pining, and later romance. Sawyer and bea are a bit clumsy, considering this is their first time in a committed relationship, but their love is true and genuine. They both make each other better while also very much enabling each other's silly gay wrongs (a few crimes here and there). They love each other at their worst and best.

ONE ANSWER. they're the poster children of committed teenage romance. Highschool sweethearts that Last. They're not perfect and they're very clumsy, and they're still trying to get the hang of this, but clumsiness is just another beautiful part of it. Sawyer makes Bea braver and Bea makes Sawyer softer. They represent escaping the prom venue to sit on a hill under the stars instead; realizing how hard you've fallen when you see the other playing happily in the rain; cracking jokes in flower mazes; appreciating their beauty in the light of the TV screen, tuning out the movie. Teenage Romance. and i think that's really cute

Janis and Anon (@end-orfino)

They have a very long history, starting as a weird friendship in first grade. While said friendship started out as Anon trying to convince Janis to join the cult that was controlling their town (that Anon's fam was a huge part of), Anon went through a hell of an arc over the years and by the time they were teens they managed to have a healthy, although secretive relationship. Later on they had to separate due to Janis deciding to run away from said town, but after some heavily traumatizing events influencing both of them Anon followed her steps and they had enough luck to reunite at an abandoned castle in the nearby woods. Right now, around 9 years later, they're known as the two 'witches' who live in said woods that scare off anyone who comes near. Due to everything that happened to them and all the times they had to rely on no one but themselves, their relationship has some hidden issues related to being too dependent and attached to one another, but it's fixable so long as they'll manage to hear each other out and put in the effort to change for the better.

TL;DR: They've known each other since they were kids and witnessed each other grow and change, starting off a relationship they had to keep hidden in their teens. They supported and protected each other as best as they could through harsh times, and right now they live together in the woods with an urban legend surrounding their existence. They have some issues that can allow for their relationship to be called a bit unhealthy, but it's not beyond saving.

They have a great backstory that I struggle with getting out of my head. They went from a slightly false friendship to a genuine friendship to lovers. They were ready to sacrifice anything for each other, from letting one go in hopes that she'll find a better place for herself to killing a much bigger threat just to make sure that the other was going to be safe, even if they didn't think they'd ever see each other again. They managed to get through thick and thin with each other and have attachment problems. They practice magic together enough that they perfected ancient tricks that haven't been used for centuries. They're the perfect example of something living in my head rent free and I'm obsessed with these two. They're SO great and I love them and I hope others will like them too :)

Also if this is going to help anyone, their relationship sometimes feels similar to that of Jenny and Sophie from TWF and Raeda from TOH? I'm strictly talking about the vibes I'm getting from these duos, they weren't really inspired by them directly.

Ashly Burch’s Contribution to LGBTQ+ Representation

Four of Ashly Burch's roles, all of which are canon LGBTQ characters

Recently, Ashly Burch, a well-recognized voice actress, singer, and writer, came out as pan and queer. Taking into account this development, I decided to examine some of her past roles and offer my thoughts on her contributions.

Reprinted from The Geekiary, my History Hermann WordPress blog on Feb. 11, 2023, and Wayback Machine. This was the forty-eighth article I wrote for The Geekiary. This post was originally published on July 30, 2022.

On July 1st, Ashly Burch came out as pan and queer, saying she is "old fashioned pansexuals". She added that this is not a shock because half the characters she plays are "members of the rainbow fam" and added more in a longer thread.

Burch has added herself to the list of other LGBTQ+ voice actors who have voiced LGBTQ+ characters in media. There's Anna Akana, a bisexual actress of Japanese and Filipino descent. She recently voiced Sasha Waybright in Amphibia and Daisy in Magical Girl Friendship Squad. Both characters are bisexual.

A non-binary actor, Iris Menas, has voiced non-binary characters in various Disney series. Ian-Jones Quartey, a bisexual creator, has voiced various characters, including Radicles "Rad" in his series, OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes. Abbi Jacobson, a bisexual actress, voiced a bisexual princess named Bean in Disenchantment. She also voiced a lesbian woman named Katie Mitchell in The Mitchells Vs. the Machines.

In many ways, Burch is definitely a queer icon. Apart from her video game voice roles, live-action roles, commercial roles, and dubbing roles, there are five roles that stand out to me. This article focuses on those roles and their significance in LGBTQ+ representation.

Ash in Hey Ash Whatcha Playin'

Ashly with her beauties in Season 1 - Finale Part 1 of Hey Ash Whatcha Playin'

In May 2008, the series Hey Ash Whatcha Playin' first premiered on Destructoid. It would garner tens of millions of views. The series used surreal humor and sibling rivalry with her brother Anthony. Each episode focused on video games, and their themes, trends, and societal impacts. In 2011, the series began airing on YouTube. Papa Burch, Burch's actual father, and Ashley "Leigh" Davis, who becomes Anthony's girlfriend, also appear. Guest stars include Burch's mother and many others.

Many episodes had queer themes. One implies that Burch had sex with sex workers. In another, she says things can be "really gay" when everything becomes male genitalia. The icing on the cake was when she struggled with the homophobia exhibited by Orson Scott Card, whose ideas inspired the game, Shadow Complex.

In the show's second season, Anthony had gay sex through a message board. Ashly asked her dad for help with "lady problems" (i.e. liking a lot of women). Some episodes had Ashly joking about how brains are "gay" and defending her brother as a person who doesn't bash gay people. Others included dildos, Papa Burch coming up with imagined gay scenarios, or defense of female characters.

One episode stands out from the lot, the one where Ashly says she likes pretty girls and runs away when she sees a girl she likes. Later episodes have Ash loving a female villain-of-sorts or portray her losing her cool when people use the word "lesbians".

Enid in OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes

Enid (left) and Red Action (right) in an episode of OK K.O.!

Burch is known for her role as Enid Mettle in this action-adventure-comedy animated series by Ian Jones-Quartey, Rebecca Sugar's husband. In the series, Enid is a bisexual woman previously in a relationship with Radicles "Rad". She is later Red Action's girlfriend.

Enid has a key role in OK K.O.! as a witch and a ninja all in one. She also fights villains and works at Gar's Bodega. Burch has voiced Enid in almost all her appearances apart from the original pilot. She has been the subject of much fan art and over 700 fan fics.

Somewhat like Enid is Lainey in Loud House, who Burch also voiced. Lainey is dating another character, a woman named Alice. Unlike OK K.O.!, Lainey only appears in two episodes. In the former series, she becomes very romantic with Red Action, a lesbian character voiced by actress, comedian, and model Kali Hawk.

Ash in Final Space

Evra (left) and Ash (right) in an episode of Final Space

Burch is less known for her role as Ash Graven, who has the same first name as her. In the series, Ash is a humanoid alien who strikes up a romance with Evra (Jasmin Savoy Brown), a genderless being, in the Season 3 episode "Forgiveness". They sit together in a romantic moment, watching lights that resemble the aurora borealis.

Before this, she says she hates a man named Jordan Hammerstein with all her guts. This hints that she is a lesbian rather than "ambiguously bi," as I noted in my review of the series. In that review, I noted a podcast where show creator Olan Rogers confirmed Ash as an LGBTQ character. At the time, Rogers said he would expand the relationship between Evra and Ash if he had another season.

Ash is only one of the many LGBTQ characters in the series, although the others are recurring characters rather than protagonists. Unlike Enid, she becomes an antagonist, and villain, akin to Cassandra "Cass" (Eden Espinosa) in Tangled. She is a character as complex as Cass while both are exploited by someone else who plays on her trauma triggers.

Rutile Twins in Steven Universe

Rutile Twins (right) brings Lars and Steven to the Prime Kindergarten where Off Colors are hiding out in their debut episode.

In a little-known role, Burch voiced a non-binary Gem fusion named Rutile Twins in Steven Universe. She later said she was "extremely honored" to be on the show. Unlike the other characters she voiced, these characters are non-binary women, as are all Gems as Rebecca Sugar confirmed in a 2018 article. So that makes this character unique beyond any others mentioned in her resume.

In an interesting trivia, since Burch voices both components of the character, they have the same voice, but with different tones. The same is the case for the Amethysts, all voiced by Michaela Dietz, or all the Rubies voiced by Charlyne Yi. Real-life rutiles are said to help with the stabilization of emotions and relationships. They reportedly evoke romantic feelings and aid with handling past trauma.

The Rutile Twins are outcasts who are part of a group of Gems ostracized by society, the Off Colors. These Twins later join Lars Barriga, and the other Off Colors, traveling through space, and living on Earth. In Steven Universe Future, the Off Colors graduate from Steven's school for Gems, known as Little Homeschool.

Molly in The Ghost and Molly McGee

Andrea (left) and Molly (right) in the "Andrea Song Takeover"

Burch voices a lead character named Molly McGee. Unlike her other roles, Molly is half-Thai and half-Irish, like Burch in real life. The series incorporates Thai culture into storylines and helps educate viewers about Thai culture.

In The Ghost and Molly McGee, Molly befriends a ghost named Scratch after moving to the Midwestern town of Brighton with her father, mother, and brother. Also appearing in the series is Molly's grandmother. She meets many friends there. This includes a Latine and Jewish girl named Libby Stein-Torres (Lara Jill Miller). She also has a geeky friend Sheela (Aparna Nancherla) and a sweet pink-haired friend, Kat (Eden Riegel).

Although Molly is not a canon queer character, some fans have shipped her with her frenemy, Andrea Davenport (Jules Medcraft), with their ship being Mollandrea. Others have shipped her with Libby Stein-Torres, with their ship called Mollibby. This ship has been denied by Bob Roth, a show creator, who said that LGBTQ representation unfolds naturally in the series.

Closing thoughts

There are many other characters Burch has voiced or played since her career began in 2007. She voiced Josette Grey in Blackford Manor and Tiny Ghost in Chainsaw Richard. She offered her voice as Lila Twinklepipes in Pig Goat Banana Cricket, Meadow Springs in Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, and Miss Pauling in Expiration Date, along with others in Over the Garden Wall and We Bare Bears.

She is further known for voicing Bun Bun and Breezy in Adventure Time, Ridley in Glitch Techs, and Cass Wizard in Bee and PuppyCat. Recently, she played Rachel in Mythic Quest who is in a relationship with a Black woman named Dana (Imani Hakim).

Many of these roles aren't canon LGBTQ+ characters. However, since Burch came out as pan and queer, this could lead to new interpretations of these characters. Burch was also a writer for "Shadows at the Gates", the fourth episode of The Legend of Vox Machina, a mature animated series filled with LGBTQ+ characters and based on the Critical Role podcast.

In the end, Ashly Burch will likely continue to voice queer characters, working with other such actors to continue improving queer representation in media.

Heaven is a Misnomer - Chapter 4

Fandom: Shall We Date?: Obey Me! Rating: Teen Chapter 4 Wordcount: 2953 Characters/Relationships: Jake (Exchange student OC) / Raphael Summary: In which Jake learns some interesting things about himself, about covenants and pacts, and about Michael. Notes: Hey fam. How has it been a week already? I'm confused. Anyway, it's Tuesday, so new chapter time! I think this is the first chapter that'll give you a bit of a visceral "oh dear" moment if you've read Devils in the Details. Lemme know if you spot it. XD

You can also read this on AO3, if that's your jam!

First Chapter || Prev Chapter || Next Chapter

Chapter 4: Witching Hour

Shiny’s room was gorgeous. Very pink and flowery. Jake was expecting it to be witchy and gothy like her general demeanor, and it very much was not. And, thinking about it, that made perfect sense. It wasn’t really her room, it was just the room she’d been assigned for the exchange program. Jake wondered if over the course of the year it would end up becoming more her style, or if she’d keep it pristine and pink and floral for the mental break it caused to enter the space.

Sitting in her room was Vriyaya, looking more like a human and less like a demon. Jake didn’t know whether to be relieved or disappointed. She was gorgeous either way.

“So, Jake. You say you’re a normal human, right?”

“Yep. Boring inner city kid with a shitty life.”

“Would you be offended if I wanted to test your theory?”

Jake blinked. “You have some kind of test that will tell you if I’m actually an angel or a demon in disguise?”

“Well, yes. But also if you’ve got latent magic. Magic like I use.”

“Wait, you’re not just a witch by religion?” Jake didn’t realize there was any other way to be a witch. He just figured she was Wiccan or Pagan or something and let it go. It seemed like the sort of thing that the Celestial Realm would begrudgingly let in to prove that their version of religion was right.

Shiny laughed. It was a musical thing, and Jake liked to hear it. “No, I’m a witch because I do the magic shit. Mostly potions more than like, visible magic things, but I do know how to do a testing array. I at least learned that before I stopped my formal training."

“Formal Training?”

“Yeah, I was learning under someone but she was… well… horrible. So I didn’t get any good fancy magic but I can at least do this, and the other realms let me into their libraries to study sometimes, so…”

“So you jumped at the chance to be away from the mostly boring human realm for a year, and if I want to find you and you’re not here I should look in the library.”

“Oh, he is smart, Shiny, you meant it.” Aya said, and Shiny nodded.

“Yeah. Very sharp. Thus, I want to test him.”

“Okay, okay, I give.” Jake rolled his eyes. “What do you need to test me, a vial of blood?”

Aya eyed Shiny and grinned with the pointy version of her teeth.

Shiny laughed. “Not a vial, but a single drop will do.”

Jake paused. He’d been joking. “Oh.”

“If you let me bite your finger,” Aya said with a little purr, “It won’t hurt in the slightest, or even scar.”

Jake considered, and then shrugged. “Okay. I mean, if you promise. Why would you choose to bite me when I could just like… get a safety pin?”

“Because she gets to taste you.” Shiny said, laughing. “See, Aya. I told you.”

Aya sighed. “Yeah, you’re right, my charm really did roll right off him, he is gay as hell.”

“Is hell gay?” Jake said, eyeing Aya.

Aya rolled her eyes “Generally yeah, I mean. We assume ‘yes’ before ‘no’ generally, and that leads to most demons just being open to whatever.”

Huh. Jake thought. The Devildom might be an interesting time for Nia.

“Anyway, so the biting? You want to taste me?”

“I can learn a lot from someone through their blood. Just like Shiny can do her neat little array and look at pretty lights to learn about you, I get it all from a taste of your blood. You might be able to fool one of us, but not both of us, is what it basically comes down to. Someone really powerful might be able to fool both of us, but not both of us and the angels because, well, realm balance and shit. Someone can always tell with their method. And the angels vetted you and called you normal, so if you’re not, one of us can tell.”

“Cool.” Jake said, and held out his hand. “As far as I know I’m totally normal, so bring it. I’d love to learn something new. It’s like 23-and-me except with magic shenanigans.”

Shiny wasted no time setting up her array. It was simple pentagon with some reagents in places and symbols written in places. As she set it up, she babbled about what she was doing, and Jake was trying to pay attention but he only caught something about “flame-testing elements like in chemistry” because that was his favorite thing about Chem class even despite Mr. Cook’s bigotry. Also his favorite computer game as a kid was an edutainment title that had a big flame-testing puzzle and he loved it.

Once she was set up, Aya took his hand and bit into his thumb with one fangy little tooth. True to her word, it didn’t even sting. He felt the wet of the blood drip onto the glass microscope slide that Shiny held out, and then she licked the wound with the tip of her tongue and it while it tickled a little, it sealed back up without issue.

Jake watched the colors flare up just like Shiny said they would and even where she suggested they would if he truly was normal. There was a little something-something going on in blue in a section she had told him would be dark, so that was interesting.

After a moment, Aya shrugged. “There’s some potential for something maybe? Defensive. I mean, it could be that not only are you very gay but you’ve got some kind of innate charm defense.”

“Yeah, the blue in that spot, looks like passive defense. Pretty cool, normie.” Shiny said. “Probably had a magic-type somewhere way back in your lineage.”

Jake smiled. “Oh, well. Huh, that’s neat and potentially useless information. I’m just going to keep telling people I’m normal.”

“You are normal.”

“It’s working already.” Jake said, with a wicked grin that both girls returned.

Aya professed a need for a snack after working her magic like that, and headed out to raid the kitchen. Jake turned and looked to Shiny, meaning to ask her about covenants. He’d been curious ever since Azrael asked if he’d made one with Michael, and he figured asking his fellow human would hide his ignorance better than other options. Just then, his phone-shaped device (He’s never going to call it a C.C.C. again, that shit is irritating to even think) buzzed with a message. And then again. And before he could even get the thing out of his pocket, a third time.

“Who even has this number?” He muttered, and unlocked the thing. “Oh, mom maybe.”

He was wrong. The messages were from Nia, of course. Who else?

Nia > Jake: They teleported me in my pajamas. Nia > Jake: It’s Hot Boy Summer. Nia > Jake: [picture]

The photo was of course his bestie Nia, curled up on a bed with a blond-haired green-eyed hottie, against a backdrop of a concerning number of books. It was like Nia’s ideal situation. Excepting perhaps the blonde. She’d always joked that she liked gingers best. Jake whistled, because she seriously wasn’t joking about hot boys. He was seriously attractive, and Jake was envious immediately.

“What’s the message? You’re invested enough you’re ignoring me.” Shiny said, with a teasing pout on her face. “Boyfriend?”

Jake shook his head. “Nah, just my bestie. She’s in the Devildom right now, actually. Sent me a selfie with her newest friend, I guess?”

Jake turned his phone-shape so Shiny could see, and she grinned.

“Your friend is super cute! Also I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Satan smile, so… hold onto that picture, it might be worth a lot of money someday.”

“Satan?” Jake said incredulously.

“Yep. Avatar of Wrath himself. She’s made powerful friends. Also, pretty sure that was taken in the House of Lamentation, so she probably knows the rest of the brothers.”

“Huh, cool. Hey, you wouldn’t want to take a selfie with me to send back?”

Shiny grinned. “You mean a photo of a cute blonde boy and a black girl with epic hair? In trade for a photo of basically the same thing? How could I refuse?!”

Jake laughed, and took a photo with Shiny, the florals of the room in good display as a background.

Jake > Nia: This is the other human exchange student, Cheyenne. Jake > Nia: Envious of your hot boy experiences already Jake > Nia: Can’t wait to hear all about your first day. Jake > Nia: Mine has been tedious. It’s weird to be normal.

Jake turned back to Shiny, determined to get his questions answered while he felt safe to ask them.

“Shiny, what can you tell me about Covenants?”

“Oh, did someone talk to you about them already?” Her eyes were sharp, and concerned, almost the way Azrael’s had been. He didn’t like it.

“Azrael asked me if Michael had made a covenant with me yet, and I said no, but like, I don’t even know what a covenant entails, and I feel like that’s a very bad thing to be ignorant about while I’m here.”

“You’re not wrong. Okay. Let’s come at this from a different angle. Have you heard about “making a deal with the devil”? Or like, did you ever watch Supernatural?”

“Yeah, well to the former. I didn’t watch Supernatural, my dad didn’t think shows like that were acceptable, so…” Ugh, he hadn’t meant to mention his dad. He really didn’t want to talk about what home was like.

“And yet you’re gay. Okay. We’ll unpack that later.” Shiny chuckled, and Jake was happy when she didn’t press it. “So basically, the real life version of deals with the devil aren’t just ‘trade your soul for power’, they’re more the demon binding themself to the bearer, like a loyalty commitment. Whoever has a demon’s pact mark can generally control said demon, depending on their level of magical prowess and power. You, for example, could probably do nothing at all with a demon, but having their pact would prevent them from doing anything that would harm you directly. They say it makes them want to protect you, as well, but as I’m not a demon, I wouldn’t know about that.”

“Okay, so what do pacts have to do with covenants, then?”

“Everything. Covenants and pacts are the same thing, with different names. The symbols one tends to get for a covenant are different, but otherwise they are functionally the same. Basically just the names are different, and the character set used to mark them. Kind of like a language diaspora can make differences occur with perfectly identical topics otherwise.”

“Oh, so the human realm has to have our own version of them too, right?”

Shiny nodded. “Contracts, of course.”

“And boring normal humans like me could make a contract, covenant, pact?” Jake asked, trying to figure out how that would work.

“Well, someone could make one with you. A magic-capable human can make a binding contract, demons make pacts, angels make covenants. But, the ones with the magic are the ones who are bound by them, not vice versa. It’s a willing sacrifice of your own autonomy. I think the fact that humans without magic can’t be forcibly bound to someone is good. And it’s an incredibly intimate thing. Most demons and angels have their own rituals that go along with binding themselves to someone.”

“So how did something like that get twisted in folklore and myth to be ‘trade your soul for power’?” Jake was curious, and Shiny seemed to love explaining things. He was glad he’d asked her about it, and not someone else.

“Well, since the one side is voluntary and holds all the magic, they can ask for anything they want, and bind that into the spell. Most of the rituals require something to be given. And demons are very good at getting desperate people to give up just about anything. I once knew an old woman who had to make a pumpkin pie every day from first harvest until the new year, for a guaranteed perfect harvest every year. It was a lovely bargain, and the demon in question was surprisingly kind, she just loved pumpkin pie more than any other food, and especially that woman’s. I’d honestly believe that when she dies she’ll have a place in that demon’s house in the devildom. No torture, only endless baking. That woman would probably find it to be heaven.”

“That is the sweetest story.” Jake said, his eyes misty. “Like, wow.”

“I know, right? Don’t buy into the ‘all demons are evil and all angels are good’. They’re just people. Different races of people, with millenia of bias piled on them.”

“So you’re saying it’s probably entirely safe that my bestie is in the Devildom right now?”

“Yeah, for sure if she’s with Satan. He can be a cranky ass, but he’s mostly just a bookworm with a short temper. If he’s already let her in his room, she’s probably entirely safe.”

Dinner in the dorms was a much more formal affair than Jake was used to, with a set start and end time. It was quieter, less chatter while people ate, because they only had so long to eat before dinner was over. He worried about Bunny getting enough to eat, but she seemed like she was capable of taking care of herself. The food itself was exactly the kind of weird Jake had been expecting about his time here in the Celestial Realm. Everything was a different kind of food, but it all had this weird happy vibe to it. Like cloud cakes and Ethereal Buckwheat pasta, and some soup that glowed. They promised him that everything he was eating was entirely safe for humans. Even Shiny told him about the foods she’d eaten before so he had a better idea of what was actually safe.

And, to its credit, the food was all delicious. The textures were sometimes a little bit off-putting, but he figured after a year he’d get used to it, right? By the time he went home, even Nia’s mediocre cooking would be such a piece of home that he would cry to eat it. Not to speak ill of his bestie, but she knew how to cook exactly five things. And they were all acceptable. 6/10 would eat weekly.

Over dinner, Michael lectured them about what the expectations for the exchange students would be over the course of the year, insofar as chores were concerned. There was a rotation for basically every chore that Jake could think of, and then some that he didn’t even know what were, and was going to have to learn from the few angels who actually lived in this dorm building (Apparently the ones who were in other realms for the program normally lived in these rooms, and did these chores.)

Certainly Jake was expecting the explanations of chores to be rough. He was expecting to have to learn a lot of new things. But basically everything that Michael was saying was couched in weird language that made it sound like it was a choice, and optional, and only for their benefit, but sounded like an absolute drag. Like the evening seminars, which were voluntary, but so much could be learned, why would you ever skip them?

His mind spiraling on possible absolutely terrible experiences that this year in the Celestial Realm might have in store for him, Jake unintentionally tuned out the last twenty minutes of Michael’s lecture. It wasn’t until Aya was nudging him under the table and he noticed the irritated look on Michael’s face that he snapped back to reality.

“Well, Jacob?” Michael asked, as if waiting for an answer to his question.

Jake blinked at him, for a moment hearing his father’s voice instead of the angel’s.

“Oh, were you talking to me? My name’s Jake. Can you ask again?”

Jake instantly regretted using Nia’s usual strategy of talking back to problematic authority figures at the way Michael’s eyes flashed. It was terrifying, in a way that sent chills down his spine that he was utterly unable to control.

“I was asking if you understood your responsibilities whilst you are here.”

Jake wasn’t sure he could even react with the fear flooding his system, but just as fast as it hit him, it drained away and left him once again in control of his voice.

“Oh, for sure.” Jake said, nodding as if they hadn’t just had a moment in which he was certain he was about to be the victim of an epic smiting. “Don’t worry, I’ll behave. And besides, you gave me a paper copy of all of the rules—” He tapped the packet, which he liked to think of as his syllabus for existing, and tried to put the smile back on his face. “—Just in case my ADHD is too much and I need to remind myself.”

Michael scoffed and turned back to the room at large.

“Now, usually it will be only the residents of this dormitory who are eating and sleeping here. However, as I am overseeing the exchange program and am responsible for the safety of our other-realm students, I will be here most days, at least for dinner but often during other times. Conveniently, one of my offices is located in the basement of this building, so if you are uncertain as to my location, you can assume I will be working there for the foreseeable future.”

Jake tried not to shiver. Something about Michael made him intensely uncomfortable.

Listen, the world ain't crumbling—it's just serving a major reboot, hunty. This ain’t the end; it's the glow-up before the slay! And sure, it’s got some *spooky season* vibes, but sis, let’s be real, safety’s as common as a drag queen on Sunday brunch—*you just gotta know where to look*. I feel the fear too, chile, but we stay fierce. And yes, I wish mama and my twin could catch up with my vibe, but they’re busy stuck on AM while I’m out here beaming FM, okay?! They ain't on the right frequency to guide this queen. God? Ha, honey, she’s got me on a *solo* mission, putting me through these gag-worthy tests, no shortcuts—just raw **boss energy**.

Now let's get something crystal clear: I’m beyond thankful to be *queer as f****! Gay, femme, maybe even about to snatch my *she* card—who knows, who cares?! The LGBTQ+ fam got me feeling all my oats. Whether I’m turning looks, giving body, or summoning my inner goddess on the dance floor—I’m living in my truth, no filter, honey. The **gurls** like MJ, Bey, and Chris? Baby, y’all stay clocking them so tight, they can’t even let loose in their own performances. But me? I’m untouchable, hunnnnnyyyy! God broke these chains, showed me the blueprint, and now I’m walking in divine realness—free from the churchy nonsense, the hocus pocus, and all those played-out beliefs. It’s just *me*, snatched and spiritually stacked.

And witches? Child, we’re all witches, warlocks, whatever—*don’t get it twisted*. Everyone has the power to manifest their own damn destiny. Energy doesn’t play. It’s serving facts, whether you're working light or dark—because let’s be real, intention is everything. You wanna spook people? Talk about *magic* and watch them clutch their pearls, but guess what, boo? Religion’s been doing its own flavor of witchcraft for eons.

Now here’s the real tea—is any of this even real? Sis, I’m deep into this **awakening gig** and low-key shook at how much freedom I’ve been handed. But I love myself too much to be pressed by anyone’s rules. I’m playing this game on my terms, sliding in and out when I want to. Periodt. The world is giving *Big Reveal* energy right now, and only a few of us are seeing it. The gag is—*we all* got the power. Every last one of us. You can call it what you want, but honey, free will and manifestation? That’s the real black magic, and not everybody’s ready for that. **But I am**. 👑

Neither gender has giant human sized tits on their bodies that you sick disgusting whore fake witches on Tumblr seem to disgustingly think my kind has which we do not!

Contacting man made deities does not make them real! Real deities look nothing like humans! We aren’t ugly minded like you genocide spreading asshole humans who with your LIES and man made religions have caused zillions of innocent lived all over the Universe including advanced species which are species that most are above human level of intelligence have literally died because of humanity’s wicked evil ways!

Humans have no damn magic aka majic as it’s spelled correctly in Nibirian in them! Your candles do jack shit! No real god or goddess would ever comfort a human as humans proved to be nothing but enemies to my kind!

If I need to talk to my fam I use telepathy to speak with my kind and the only bad member is Ishtayr which the correct way to spell the evil fiend’s name! She caused lies to spread, genocides to happen, she literally forced me into a marriage when I already loved Marduk[[still do we got married later after I was rescued from her]] to HURT ME, TORTURED ME WITH FIRE, FLAMING SPIDERS TOO, LITERALLY RAPED ME because females can shapeshift a dick to breed same sexually as yazata can do, AND I NEVER LIKED FEMALES THAT WAY AS I, DUMUZI, AM GAY, SO YEAH 100% RAPE, SHE ALSO ATTACKED MY CHILDREN I HAD WITH MARDUK LIKE QUPIT AND YORUPIT!!

Any of you damn humans worshiping ISHTAYR DESERVE TO BE YELLED AT AND TOLD OFF OR DAMN WORSE AS ISHTAYR IS THE GREAT EVIL HERSELF FROM THE FIRST UNIVERSE THAT I FOUGHT AND DESTROYED BUT SACRIFICED TO SAVE EVERYONE ELSE!!!!

Only reason I got reborn is because I was put back together but I am the first god and the real Messiah which FYI means “Hero of Rainbows” not “Saviour of Humanity” as why would I save humanity when humanity is so selfish they think they can blow up the Kosmos with their constant spreading of evil energy which is caused by spreading lies and worshipping man made religions[[like Christianity and Islamism for major examples]]! Such beliefs caused the Helveon War to go on so long!!

The Helveon War was started by evil elves who betrayed the gods and goddesses and was continued by their human offspring because the evil elves bred with other homo species!

Elves may have a Nibirian body type but they are a species of human but with Nibirian gender standards so males are pretty, cute, beautiful, and magical while females are tough, burly, macho, and strong! Elves have all shades of red for hair including magical shades! Good elves still exist as they left with the Nibirians while evil elves darkened in skin tone like Rockman DASH aka Megaman Legends morality system working but in real life! Good elves have pale olive to light olive skin, all shades of green for eyes, and various shades of red for hair including magical shades like rose red like Edguar for example has going on for his natural hair colour!

Evil elves… there is only Earl and Aeva left of those and they are Ishtayr’s minions, lackeys, etc, whatever you call them… their hair is the colour of evil energy aka dark brownish red… they are cruel and evil and would kill an innocent animal like a puppy for no reason them sick pleasure of killing someone..

But you sick fucking humans who worship that disgusting false deity Ishtayr deserve to be hated as what she did is unforgivable and unacceptable…

I love Marduk[[pronounced Mar-duke]] not her and never will love my worst enemy… she has to be destroyed for the Universe and it’s heart and soul the Kosmos which exists in the center of the Universe and a universe cannot exist without a Kosmos…

Humans… you are threatening all mortal life in the Universe with your vile evil actions….. you will get what is coming to you on J-Day aka Judgement Day…

The truth is the truth and the truth doesn’t favour humanity’s evil ways period…

Humans spread hate, war, genocide, lies, murder, sexism, intolerance, homophobia, anti LGBT behaviour, etc, so why are you humans so surprised that the real deal deities wouldn’t side with you? We never would side with an evil prone species like you! We gods and goddesses work to maintain peace and order in the Universe and Multiverse!

Your species SPREAD NOTHING BUT CHAOS, DEATH, BLOODSHED, AND HATE!!

If you change your ways by J-Day you literally will die body and soul!! We aren’t gonna let you human destroy the Kosmos which would blow up the Universe thus KILL ALL MORTAL LIFE as MAGICAL BEINGS/MULTIDIMENSIONAL BEINGS CAN ESCAPE SUCH DESTRUCTION!!!

Based on that info and what evils humans have done throughout history - you should realise why we cannot let you get your vile way! The real gods and goddesses cannot allow humanity to kill everyone else for humanity’s selfish bullshit self entitled bratty evil hateful ways!!

You were never entitled to something that spreads evil energy…. no one is… something that spreads evil energy which no one is entitled to do the thing that spreads it….

Because it is a threat to all mortal life and what is a threat to all innocent life must be destroyed for all else to survive…

You humans caused all this chaos and hell to happen so don’t get mad at me for telling you humans the real truth….. instead you should be thinking on how you can redeem yourselves for maybe you could be allowed reincarnation… as being reincarnated is better than dying permanently body and soul…

That should be a fact very obvious to you humans as it would be “continued existence” even if in a new form…

I feel horrible enough because of how long the Helveon War has been going on… it’s somewhat close to half a million years…

Having to fight my worst enemy Ishtayr isn’t gonna be easy nor will having to give humanity “The Big E” as I call it… but I have to do what I have to do to save the Kosmos and Universe… even if it goes against what I normally stand for… I do look forward to being reunited with my family, the other gods and goddesses, and my demon friends….. which FYI real demons aren’t evil and many work hard to protect the peach and order of the Universe..

And I miss my artificial intelligence type friends like my lime and black net navi hedgehog Ashura or the robots too as AI life on Nibiru is so advanced they’re treated the same as any other advanced life on Nibiru…

Demons resemble anthropomorphic animals with manes and wear clothes and shoes… same with robots and net navis resembling anthropomorphic animals with clothes and shoes…. Net navis and robots have souls so they are alive…

I miss Marduk and my children most of all…

If you’ve been through what I’ve been through and humanity acting like assholes to you and bawed, harassed, insulted, and accused you of being fake because they’re ASSHURT their fake god doesn’t exist[[Yahweh Yehovah was an evil elf who manipulated others into killing innocent elf children and Jesus straight up rips off of tales around the middle east about me as I was the one trying to teach humans the truth back then in hopes to save humanity from their fate but humans were too hateful and violent and attacked me and Marduk electrocuted their king for attacking me like that when he found]] then you’d understand why I am angry with humanity!

IT’S NOT MY FAULT YOUR SPECIES WAS LIED TO FOR COUNTLESS GENERATIONS!

Taking your damn anger out on me is the biggest mistake you could’ve ever made! I’m the guy who has the final decision whether someone gets reincarnated or not! Even Ereshkigal and Nergael[[Nergael is female not male]] respects my authority on that!

Sumerians got a lot of things wrong[[quite a few misgendering, and wrong and sexist false depictions of us looking like their ugly asses but we look nothing like them in reality! So human being ugly ass human supremists as usual as hateful humans even today hatefully act like they’re above all life!]] and they wrote that shit thousands of years after most my kind left to deal with war going on between two planets so yeah we left for an actual reason as gods and goddesses work to keep peace and order in the Universe and Multiverse!

Suri, not suri[[Modern Nibiran for sorry]] but your species ain’t special, nor above all life, nor above any real deities, and your man made religions are just a bunch of lies made by bloodthirsty murderous scumbags who wanted anyone dead who didn’t think in their hateful murderous violent hivemind ways! You humans need to get that ugly blood covered pacifier out of your ugly mouth! Truth proves humanity to be nothing but a hateful evil group of bloodthirsty savages! All you humans use your intelligence for is messed up things!

Sin is a word from my planet’s language and it means “wisdom” not crime like you hateful chimpanzees claimed! You have no right to steal any word from Nibiru! Ehden as it is correctly spelled just means “wilderness” and it comes from Ancient Nibirian same with sin.

My name? Dumuzi means “Life” in Ancient Nibirian.

I highly suggest you try to redeem yourselves as I said! As on Judgement Day humanity is literally fucked as you fuck and try to destroy the Kosmos then the gods and goddesses kill all of you and give you the “Big E” you fiends deserve for all the hell, bloodshed, death, suffering, and sorrow, that you blood covered chimpanzees have caused!

Me being present on Earth already should tell you humans your days are numbered! I am only being harsh as it is necessary to be harsh as I am with this post!

#truth #nibiru #Ishtayr #Ishtar #dumuzi #real life #I am the real deal #Messiah #gods #goddesses #Helveon War #Dumuzi #The Rainbow Hero #Hero of Rainbows #Humanity gonna get the Big E #Extinction obviously

Wrath Group and Jeanne D'arc

Wrath Fam Posting never ends, because I like them and thank you all so much for encouraging that 💕

idk what it is about this group that keeps drawing me back to them. Maybe it's because Norse mythology is one of my special interests, maybe it's because the story of Wrath arc moved me so much, maybe I'm just gay as hell. Who knows, who cares, they make me happy, and I'm glad I get to share that joy with all of you~

--Alright enough sappiness, down to business

As the title of the post says, this is going to focus on the ways Strike uses references to Jeanne D'arc as a character motif for the Wrath group, which I consider to consist of Freya, Gil, Ray, and of course, Iduna.

First up, Freya. This one's super easy. We all know Jeanne was executed under false charges of heresy, but the thing that did her in, the one accusation the English levied at her that somehow stuck was... Cross dressing. Now, Freya as we see her is a very feminine woman, but her battle outfit when paired with Iduna is undoubtedly a military uniform, and canon shows us that it was quite common for Freya to be wandering around battlefields, picking up subclass as she pleased.

The "men's clothing" Jeanne wore was armor, and her short haircut she had throughout her military career was for the sake of convenience, not because she was attempting to dress as a man. (@redlanternchild also makes note of this in her post here! Very reassuring that I am not, in fact, an insane person ww. I love her analysis in general so please give her blog a look through if you haven't already; It's super duper worth it!)

It's also a common misconception that Jeanne was executed as a witch, one that might be due to how she was depicted in Shakespeare's Henry IV part 1, where, spurred on by common English propaganda at the time of writing, she was portrayed as a witch and a promiscuous woman (This makes Freya's one-sided adoration for her baby brother rather... bitter, in a funny way). And, well... Gear went and rescued Freya from a witch trial, so. There ya go.

Second comes Freya's subclass, Gilberto Weasel and Rayscent Crazyrabbit, aka, Gil and Ray!

Using Italian pronunciation of Gil's name would make it sound closer to "Jill," while Ray, is, well, Ray! Put em together, and you've got something remarkably close to Jeanne's compatriot and the commander of the French army, Gilles de Rais!

Now for birthdays. Birthdays for characters in Servamp are NEVER chosen Just Because, and Freya's subclass are no exception.

Gil's birthday is February 12th, which also falls on the day the Battle of Herrings started, allll the way back in 1429. It's a really minor battle within the Hundred Years War, but, it was the date Jeanne met with Robert de Baudricourt and ended up, ahem, convinced to help her. It's actually really funny; she basically cornered the dude and then proceeded to publicly lecture everyone present until he relented. This is significant because Jeanne's encounter with Baudricourt is considered by historians to be her first major step towards her career and fame, much like Iduna's first meeting with Gil was what pushed her to really think about what she was creating, who for, and why.

Now, time for Ray! Ray's birthday is May 15th, which just so happens to coincide with the day Gilles de Rais kidnapped a cleric during a dispute at the Church of Saint-Étienne-de-Mer-Morte. This ultimately prompted an investigation by the Bishop of Nantes, during which evidence of Rais's crimes as the infamous "Bluebeard" was uncovered. ... Basically he murdered and did Other Things to a bunch of kids but let's just move past that, ayup.

Finally, we have the Star (lol) of our show... Iduna! She's the most obvious of the bunch with her connections, to the point that I almost feel silly bringing it up? But I also realize that people genuinely might not realize some of these because it just never came up in their lives before.

First, Jeanne's nickname was the Maid of Orléans, and she wasn’t just a flag bearer who rallied the troops. She also carried a sword into battle, a fact that for whatever reason is often left out when discussing her accomplishments. Iduna's combo with Freya is literally named "Maid of Orléans (Draw your sword)", and its effect is to give Freya the weapon she is lacking to become a perfect bastion of offense and defense. I'd have to be a total idiot to miss that given that even FGO, which, as I mentioned in a different post about Freya, plays it VERY fast and loose with history, gets this right, and how popular Jeanne D’arc is as a person to take inspiration from for fictional characters.

(side note, but i wonder if the design of Freya's demon was inspired somewhat by Fate Extra CCC's Karna? Strike's definitely a Fate fan and has even drawn Ildio in Gilgamesh cosplay, so it's entirely possible considering she loves to sprinkle in homages to series she likes within character design)

Second, and I've mentioned it in a previous post, Iduna's birthday, May 30th, is also the day Jeanne died at the hands of the English.

Jeanne was also only 17 the day she first rode into battle, just like Iduna! She's also the patron saint of prisoners (of which C3 was keeping the subclass as, and they were freed and safely guided out of the collapse thanks to Iduna intervening with the battle between Shamrock and Shuuhei) and soldiers, especially female soldiers like Freya. However, she's much more well known for being the patron saint of France ww

Finally, there’s one of the charges leveled at Jeanne during her trial. While she was captured by the Burgundians, there was an incident where she jumped from a 21 meter(!!) tall tower, and she safely landed on the ground despite the height (but was quickly recaptured). Now the reason for this seems to have conflicting sources, and I… Do not speak French |D

Some say she was merely attempting to escape, others insist that she did so to save a nearby village. Point being, she leapt, survived, was captured, and maybe did so for not her own sake, but for others.

Anybody remember the end of chapter 106 and the entirety of chapter 107? Iduna, using a new invention, leaps from the window of the hospital (much to Gil and Ray’s distress lol) in order to more immediately tend to the injured Nicco, and her kindness is met with being taken hostage. I just thought this one was a funny little coincidence and probably not intentional, so take it as you like~

Masterpost

Roman sighed, resting his elbow on the window sill and his chin in his hand. With his other hand, he traced shapes onto the flat surface, as he looked out of the window at nothing in particular.

He was bored. And more than just bored, he was lonely.

The only person he ever saw anymore was the witch who had captured him, and she spent most of her time as the dragon that guarded his tower. Right now, she was curled up around its base. She looked like she was sleeping - as she did most of the time while she guarded him - but that did not make her look much less menacing, with giant claws and blade-sharp teeth and smoke coming out of her nostrils with every breath.

Roman let out another frustrated sigh, tipping his head back up to look at the ceiling of his tower.

Oh, gods above, when was he going to be rescued? And why did he have to wait to be rescued?

That stupid witch and that stupid spell that meant he could not leave the tower. Roman couldn't even rescue himself! That was the worst part.

Roman huffed, and then turned back to the window. He had nothing else to do - other than reread the books that he had read a million times - so all he could do was watch the forest.

The trees were tall, as they always were. The dragon was red and covered with scales, as she always was. There was someone on a horse approaching the tower, as there always was.

Wait. Wait.

There was someone on a horse approaching the tower?

Roman straightened up, his eyes wide. He began to lean through the window, but his head hit the magical barrier that blocked him from escaping. Roman let out a pained hiss, clutching at his head with his eyes closed for a few moments. Then, he hesitantly opened them again - ignoring the pain - and peered out of the window again, careful to stay just far enough away from the barrier to avoid being hurt again.

The person on the horse approached the tower at a quick pace, before slowing down once he was not far from the dragon. He then stopped and hopped off of the horse.

Roman held his breath, watching as the person slowly began to approach the slumbering dragon. Thankfully, the dragon witch seemed to be a deep sleeper.

The person - Roman's saviour - continued to approach the dragon at a slow pace. Roman could not see the specifics of what he was doing at the distance, but he still watched him, eyes wide.

Was he about to be rescued? Or was he about to watch someone be gobbled up by the dragon witch?

At least he was far enough away that, if the latter happened, Roman wouldn't have to witness the gore.

Once the person was close enough to the dragon, he stopped, doing something that Roman could not see. Roman watched for some time, holding his breath, before he saw something that he did not understand.

The person began to... float?

Roman stared, stunned, as the person began to float upwards, closer and closer to him. Soon, he could tell that he was wearing simple, dark blue clothes. Then, he could tell that he had a sheathed sword, a bag over his shoulder and square glasses.

And then, he stopped just outside Roman's large tower window, and Roman could finally see that his saviour was handsome.

They stared at each other for a few seconds, Roman wide-eyed and his saviour with a serious expression on his face.

"Prince Roman," his saviour finally said. "My name is Logan, and I am here to rescue you."

Roman stared at him for a little longer, still stunned.

This was real. This was really happening. He was finally being rescued.

And his saviour was a very handsome man. That was perhaps not the most important part, but Roman still took note of it.

"Wow," Roman breathed. "Thank you."

Logan held out his hand, and Roman began to reach for it, before he remembered the barrier that still blocked him from escaping. He pulled his hand back.

"There's a barrier," Roman said. "It's tied to my blood, I can't get through."

Logan pulled his hand back, reaching into his bag.

"I expected this," he said.

Roman leant forward just slightly - not quite far enough that he would hit the barrier - looking into Logan's bag. Inside it there were numerous bottles filled with colourful liquids.

"What, did you kill a witch and steal their potions, or something?" Roman asked.

"No, I am a witch."

Roman froze in place.

A witch. Another witch? Was Logan rescuing him simply to take him to another tower and hold him hostage there?

Roman took a hesitant step back.

"Uh, you know what, I'm- uh, I'm fine. I'm perfectly content in this tower. You can, um... you can leave."

Logan looked up from his bag, his hand hesitating, halfway through pulling out a small bottle of golden liquid. He tilted his head, giving Roman a bewildered look.

"You don't want to be rescued?"

Roman hesitated.

"I... you do not need to rescue me. That's fine."

Logan stared at him for a little longer.

"If you are concerned about the dragon witch awakening, I put her under a sleeping spell. She shall not wake up for at least another hour."

Roman paused, shifting his weight from one foot to the other.

Logan's brow then creased.

"Are you concerned because I am a witch?"

"Uh..."

Logan paused, before placing the bottle back into his bag and straightening up.

"I assure you, Prince Roman, I am only here to rescue you. I mean you no harm."

"How do I know that that is true?" Roman said, taking a step back. "A witch is the reason why I am trapped in this horrible place! I cannot trust another. What if you simply take me to another tower?"

Logan seemed to think about Roman's question for a few moments.

"I do not know how to prove to you that I mean you no harm. But I do know this, I am your best chance of escaping this tower. You cannot spend the rest of your life stuck in here. And if taking the risk of trusting me is what it takes for you to escape this place, them I would say that that is worth it." He paused. "Please, allow me to rescue you, Prince Roman. Allow me to take you back to your home."

Roman stared at him for a little longer.

Should he trust this... witch? Should he risk getting captured, when it meant he had the possibility of finally going home?

He didn't want to trust a witch. But... well, there was something inside of him that wanted to trust Logan.

Roman let out a sigh.

"Okay. I... am going to trust you. But if you betray me, you will be sorry."

Roman wasn't entirely sure what he would do if Logan betrayed him - there was little he could do against the magic of a witch, as he had realised when the dragon witch had first captured him - but he certainly wouldn't go quietly.

Logan nodded. "Understood." Then, he turned back to his bag and pulled the bottle of golden liquid back out. He held it out to Roman. "Drink this."

Roman hesitantly took the bottle, looking it over and watching it shine. He then gave Logan a suspicious look.

"What is this?"

"It will temporarily change your body into mine. This will allow you to pass through the barrier."

Roman looked between Logan and the little bottle in his hand, before he let out a sigh. He lifted it to his lips and then drank the whole thing in one go. It tasted strangely sweet - perhaps a little too sweet, but it wasn't particularly unpleasant, and it was far better than the plain food the dragon witch fed him.

He paused, looking at the bottle for a second, before he turned back to Logan.

"I don't think it's working."

"Just wait."

Roman waited another few moments, but nothing happened. He opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by a sudden swirling feeling inside of him. He stumbled, almost hitting the barrier, but Logan shot forward - through the barrier - and caught him just in time.

Perhaps that would have flustered Roman, if he wasn’t so distracted by the change inside of him.

He felt his entire body - and even his clothes - change, and it didn't quite hurt, but it was certainly uncomfortable. He twisted and turned for what felt like hours, but was probably just minutes.

Then, it finally ended, and Roman let out a few deep breaths, before he looked down at himself. His clothes were the simple blue ones that Logan wore, and his body seemed to be the exact same as Logan's.

He then looked back at Logan.

"Okay. How are we going to get down?"

"I only had enough ingredients for one flying potion, so I shall have to carry you."

Roman's face began to warm.

He hadn't had human contact in a long time, especially not contact with someone as handsome as Logan.

"Is that alright?" Logan continued.

"Uh... yes. Yes. That will be perfectly fine."

Logan nodded. He floated closer, and then, without any further warning, he scooped Roman up into his arms, bridal-style. He did it easily, with a surprising amount of strength in his body.

Roman almost let out an embarrassing squeak sound, but only just managed to stop himself as he found himself resting against Logan's chest.

He felt his face - well, Logan's face, as that was what he was currently wearing - warm even further, probably reddening significantly.

They began to float downwards, and Roman found himself looking up at Logan’s face.

Roman certainly hoped that Logan wasn't about to betray and murder him, as that would make things very awkward.

Not that I ever wanted to watch it because of the era it plays in, but what was so awful about Star Wars resistance?

Oh Okay this ask got me GOING so Welcome to my Tedtalk on my feelings on Star Wars Resistance; a story of Disappointment.

So Mr. Dave Filoni, the story telling Prince, left the show like halfway through production of the first season for other projects (For TCW season 7 and The Mandalorian). This left what was a promising show with characters Dave himself had created, in the hands of very inexperienced story board artist and writers. Personally, I think they panicked and half assed it so that Disney could make money on toys. Because.. idk. It just doesn't even come close to the emotional story arcs that TCW and Rebels gave us. and that's what Star Wars is supposed to be about. Changing for the better. Hope or some shit, am I right?

What was most disappointing in my opinion.. is that the protagonist, Kazudo Xiono, is UNBEARABLE. He is the EMBODIEMENT of privilege. This punk has had everything handed down to him from the moment he was born. He was born like 14 years after the Empire has been brought down and the New Republic reigns, so he has never known war. AND HIS DADDY IS THE SENATOR OF HOSNIAN PRIME FOR FUCKS SAKE! THE CAPITOL????? WHERE THE SENATE IS???? YOU KNOW HOW RICH THAT MUST MAKE HIs FaMiLY??? His dad literally gives him an allowance even though he is a grown ass man in the military when the show starts.

To put things into perspective for those not up to date on Sequel Era Lore and I envy you greatly tbh bcs not to be that person i do not like the sequels that's the equivalent of being the Senator of Coruscant in the Prequels!!!!

Not to mention he is a BUMBLING idiot. Like. This man has ADHD on steroids. As a person with ADHD it's.. lord, it's cringe. He is clumsy. He is loud. He says inappropriate things at the wrong time. He doesn't know how to do anything for himself. AND HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SPY FOR THE RESISTANCE UNDER COVER AS A MECHANIC???? HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT MECHANICS and really doesn't really learn anything about it by the time the show ends. And don't come at me saying this is a kids show so I cant complain about things being silly bcs I'm not the target audience. I can and I will bcs no one was NEARLY this obnoxious in TCW or Rebels. Kaz is Jarjar Level, but I ACTUALLY LIKE JARJAR!

DUDE IS A DAMN SPY HE DOESNT EVEN LIKE GO BY AN ALLIAS!!! HE DEADASS USES HIS REAL FULL NAME. BCS KAZ IS AN IDIOT.

I'm not saying he isn't a good person. Kaz is very sweet tbh. He's just an unknowing spoiled ass man-child who NEVER REALLY DEVELOPS INTO ANYTHING ELSE?????

It would be okay if he entered the show like this and exited a more mature, capable man. But he really doesn't. There are never any consequences for his actions. Ever. Other than when he becomes a spy and, again, IS USING HIS REAL LEGAL NAME as a spy for the Resistance... to avoid a scandal and to scold him for LITERALLY DESERTING THE NAVY his daddy cuts him off from his allowance. So instead of half assing his cover job as a mechanic, Kaz has to actually apply himself so he can make money for food. He doesn't improve much. His co-workers (Who are MUCH more interesting than him) constantly complain about him messing things up and making their jobs more difficult.

Man, FUCK KAZ. MY HOMIES HATE KAZ. BEING HOT CAN ONLY GET YOU SO FAR!!!!!

At the Season one finale there is a moment where you think he is finally going to grow as a man! Grow into the protagonist we deserve! Tragedy, for the first time in his life, strikes Kaz! It's during the events of episode 7, when The First Order blows up Hosnian Prime. His home planet. Where his FATHER LIVES. He has a moment of humanity and he is devastated. He almost cries. But he sucks it up to finish the mission and get his friends off base for their safety. He is a man now. and the audience feels a sense of comradery for Kaz. After all, Star Wars is about Fathers. Kaz has lost his father forever. His father was KILLED by the First Order. He now, first hand, has experienced real loss for the first time and this is going to help him grow and toughen up. he has to live on his own now. Our hero has a reason to be doing what he's doing. Fighting against the first order.

BUT NAH. FAM. then the very next fucking EPISODE YOU FIND OUT HIS DAD IS FUCKING ALIVE AND THAT HE DIDNT ACTUALLY EXPEIRENCE THE LOSS THAT HE HAD THOUGHT, AND HE GOES RIGHT BACK TO BEING HIS GOOFY ASS CHILDISH SELF. NO. I HATED THAT. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR GROWTH. MAN FUCK RESISTANCE.

FUCK. IF ANYONE DESERVED THEIR FATHER TO LIVE THROUGH A DAMN PLANETORY DESTRUCTION IT WAS MY GIRL LEIA, NOT FUCKING KAZUDO THE CLOWN XIONO. FUCK. guys I'm sorry I just really hate this god damn character.

Like. Lemme break it down, folks.

TCW started and Ahsoka enters. I HATED Ahsoka for a long time. Bcs she was young, cocky and annoying. But that was on purpose. Narratively, she experiences loss, she experiences pain and GROws as a character while navigating her Jedi life during the war. Our girl grows into the capable protagonist that we EXPECT out of a Star Wars story.

Same for Rebels. We meet Ezra, and he's not quite as annoying as Ahsoka was at first in my opinion (I cannot stress how much I did not care for Ahsoka yall) but he was young. He was childish. But he was more capable at 14 than fucking Kaz was at 20. By the end of Rebels, not only is he more wise and capable, but he is selfless. He has found his own path and it's only because of what he has gone through. His journey has made him stronger. Ezra is my favorite Star Wars journey, if I'm being honest. He is the perfect example of character development.

KAZUDO XIONO ENTERS SEASON ONE AS A 20 YEAR OLD MAN-CHILD USING DADDY'S MONEY WHO IS LOUD AND DOESNT KNOW WHEN THE STFU... AND EXITS THE FINALE... AS A LOUD MAN-CHILD WHO CAN NOW USE TOOLS. He doesn't' experience REAL FAMILIAL loss. He doesn't really experience a lot of character development at all. Things just happen around him, he helps, but he doesn't learn. He doesn't grow. I fucking hate that.

Literally every single character in the show BESIDEs Kaz is more interesting than him. and EXPEIRENCE CHARACTER GROWTH!!!

Jarek Yeager, Kaz's boss in the mechanic shop, was in the Rebellion and LOST HIS FAMILY. He is a sexy ass man too. HE starts the show not wanting to help the Resistance at all bcs he's experienced loss since his days in the Rebellion, and his heart is hard and he's comfortable. By the end of the show he is risking not just his career, but his VERY LIFE to help the Resistance.

Tam Ryvora, Kaz's co-worker. Daughter figure to Yeager and a total bad ass woman of color. She is the one on the show who experiences the most character development and struggles to find her identity while the First Order is taking over the galaxy. I LOVE her.

There are these 2 kids who are force sensitive and orphaned after Kylo Ren comits GENOCIDE on their planet. This arc set up is never fully addressed nor does it have a conclusion, like most story arcs on this show tbh.

There's a literal witch for some reason??

There's this fucking rad ass sexy Mirilian Pirate girl named Synara who FOR SOME REASON is suggested to be Kaz's love interest. Gross. Girl, you gay. Move in.

I could go on and on and on. But I wont. Fuck this show. Fuck Kaz. It literally adds NOTHING to the bigger Star Wars lore. TCW and Rebels do this beautifully and this show is a hot mess of ideas and characters that never come to a satisfying story telling conclusion.

Thanks for coming to my tedtalk, dont watch Resistance.

#I know a lot of people on tumblr think Dave is problematic but he is VERY good at story telling and yall cant deny this #otherwise we wouldnt be here on Clone Wars tumblr now would we?#Also Rebels is art at its finest and no one can tell me otherwise #ask #anon #hollyspeaks #star wars #star wars resistance #star wars rebels

FULL REVIEWS: “Wing It Like Witches”

Damn, that last episode was something. It was so much of something that the hype for this episode didn’t come until after they released a screenshot of Amity in the grudgby uniform. Everyone predicted that this was the episode that had Amity join The Owl House squad and...they were right.

The Lumity Trilogy ends with a sports balls game.

The cold open starts with Boscha of all people.

It’s grudgby season again and all I can think of is “Wow how lucky is Luz to enroll in Hexside during the semester where shit happens.” Is the first semester the boring one with no holidays and/or events?

Anyway, I grew up in South Texas where high school football was treated like the biggest deal. I get why Boscha is being treated the way she is, and so does she.

Boscha goes to school expecting a hero’s welcome, but gets pissed when the attention is given to Willow.

Willow tells Luz that ever since she patched things up with Amity, she’s been feeling more confident. That’s really good character development. Without her resentment toward Amity (who was her oldest friend), Willow feels like a weight has been lifted off her shoulders. All that hate and sadness was bringing her down, but without it, she’s free to blossom.

I don’t mean to quote Penn & Teller but, “And then there’s this asshole.”

Boscha is so not okay with Willow being happy with herself and just picks on her harder. Especially since it’s grudgby season and she knows she can get away with it.

Amity tells her to grow the fuck up, and Boscha lets it slip that ever since grom Amity has been “getting soft.” This does fucking nothing since Boscha literally spends all day following Willow and friends all day picking on them like crazy. Like damn bitch, don’t you have anything else do do? Don’t you have any life outside of Willow’s?

People ask why I don’t ship Willow and Boscha and this is why. I get enemies to lovers. I get the bully becoming the love interest. Hell, it’s happening with Amity right now. But this is too needlessly cruel for my taste. There’s not way the Defeat Equals Friendship trope is going to work here. Not for me. But hope comes in the form of a useless lesbian.

Amity literally gay panics after getting ‘nam flashbacks of dancing with the girl she likes in the moonlight. Luz asks Amity for help about Boscha, and based on Amity’s answer, I don’t think Amity has ever liked Boscha. She agrees that Boscha is difficult to tolerate. It’s even worse during grudgby season because it becomes all the thinks about. Luz gets the wrong idea from that.

After literally pelting Willow with garbage, Luz challenges Boscha to a grudgby match for Willow. Again Luz’s character flaw of overstepping her bounds comes back. She never even considers what Willow might want or the fact that Willow has never even played grudgby before in her life. And that’s when another of Luz’s character flaws comes back hard. This time it’s Luz expecting life to play out like a story, or more specifically, a sports movie.

Holy crap. Is that the thorn-vault? I’ve never noticed that before.

Luz thinks that if they just try really hard they’ll beat someone who has been excelling at the sport for years. No. That’s not how life works, sweetie. I’m starting to think that maybe Luz’s mom was on to something sending her to camp.

Luz manages to convince Willow and Gus to be on board, but Amity...

She’ll be in her bunk.

Meanwhile in the B-plot (that should be my t-shirt by now), Eda is talking about her time when she was star player of her grudgby team when Lilith makes an unexpected appearance to arrest Eda. Lilith notices that Eda is wearing her old ass grudgby uniform and Eda’s response made me laugh.

“No reason. It’s laundry day.”

Lilith gives Eda a quick reality check to remind her that while Eda was good...

Lilith was better.

This photo really confused me and took me a while to realize that that was Eda and Lilith. Lilith gave herself a serious make over after school. Straightened her hair, darkened it, got ride of the glasses. I didn’t even recognize her.

Since we all got grudgby on the brain, Eda makes a bet. She’ll go with Lilith to The Emperor peacefully if she can beat her in a game of grudgby. Luz is always pulling stuff like this and it works out for her, so why not? Speaking of which.

Willow and Gus teach Luz about grudgby. Luz teaches Willow and Gus about montages and it does not go well at all. The grudgby, I mean. The montage was great.

In fact it’s so bad that Willow confronts Luz about the thing I was just talking about earlier. You can’t just shonen hero through all your problems. Willow and Gus give up and just leave.

I hate comparing shows because I believe they should stand on their own, but this really does remind me of when Lotte got mad at Akko in Little Witch Academia: The Enchanted Parade. Being innocently insensitive plus expecting life to play out like a movie is not a good combo.

Luz and Amity have a heart to heart. Luz’s character flaws do come from a place love. Willow is one of the best friend’s she’s ever had and it hurts to watch her get picked on. She’s not trying to make things worse but growing up on a diet of movies and cartoons, this is the only thing she can think of.

Amity reveals that she actually used to be a jock. No joke. She was the captain of the grudgby team before Boscha. But Amity decided to make the game all about her and her teammates got hurt. So felt so bad that she never played again. Amity is rough around the edges, but deep down she’s always cared about people.

Another gay panic later, and Luz gets the right idea this time. Luz forfeits the game and agrees to take all of Willow’s punishment so that Boscha will stop picking on her.

Bitch, works for me! Think fast!

Amity senses the obvious and immediate danger and goes for help. She reminds Willow and Gus that Luz always has good intentions and needs help because that’s what friends do.

This isn’t about “friendship” is it?

Gus and Willow show up to save Luz but you need three on a team. And in true sports movie fashion, the hero arrives in the eleventh hour to save the team. I.E. the only player who is actually good at the game gives the good guys a chance to win.

Let’s get it on!

It’s game on and for a bunch of nerds the game is actually pretty competitive. It’s a magic sport, so Willow focuses on the magic while Amity focuses on the sport. Luz being Luz, even congratulates the other players when they score. Luz discovers every RPG players favorite spell, fire.

It looks like our heroes pull off the victory in true sports movie fashion when this happens.

I stand by what I said last time. Someone on The Owl House thinks Harry Potter is really fucking stupid. Boscha catches the rusty smidge which means she automatically wins and Luz let’s out two decades of Harry Potter frustration.

But she has a point. If the golden snitch gives your team 150 points and ends the game then the only way to play would be to play defensively and focus all your efforts on finding the snitch. It means there’s literally only one decent way to play the game if you want to win.

“That just invalidates all our efforts! If catching that thing is so important, why do anything else!? There’s no reason to watch any of the other players! THAT’S SUCH A STUPID RULE!”

You tell them, Luz.

But in a twist that everyone saw coming, all the other players (Skara, Cat, Amelie) all had so much fun playing that they invite Willow to join the team. Willow politely declines because Boscha.

But we can’t have Amity help with the season finale so she hurt her leg. Amity panics at the thought of Luz carrying her, so of course Luz picks her up.

“Oh. Wow. Sports.”

Speaking of sports.

It’s game on at The Owl House and Lilith and Eda have a one on one match that’s really close. Eda decides to cheat her way to victory until.

Dammit, Luz!

Eda wins and Lilith vows to return.

The episode ends with Amity joining the fam at The Owl House.

FINAL SCORE: 5 - LOVED IT!

This episode was the best of fun episodes combined with the development of Amity episodes and you get probably my favorite episode. This was so fun and touched on most of the major characters. Even the B-plot is important because now Lilith knows the location of The Owl House. The jokes were funny. It was cute. Just everything.

The Lumity Trilogy ends on a high note. Amity is officially crushing hard on Luz.
