. warnings: mentions of death (Jefferson) and grief, grammar erros (english is not my first language).

. featuring: Miles Morales (e!42)

. wc: 1.4k

.a/n: if you see grammatical errors, or me saying something in Spanish wrong, please feel free to correct me. My Spanish is rusty as fuck

hcs for miles 1610 here

He listens to a lot of reggaeton, afrobeat, and R&B. C'mon guys, look at my face and say to me he doesn't, also he prob like old school rap too, thanks to uncle Aaron and his dad, Jefferson probably showed his some jazz

I feel like Mama Rio and Abuelita Gloria showed him some old Puerto Rican singers and he listens old songs from time to time, specially when his nana is visiting

This man knows mechanics. Period. Help his mom to fix things around the house, shower, the lights etc. Bet his 'son and dad' time involved something with fixing things around the house and Jefferson 'passing the knowledge ' to Miles

"Listen Miles, you're the man in the house when I'm not around got it?"

"'kay dad"

"When I'm not around you're responsible for your mom deal? Gotta make sure she's in good hands when I'm not around"

"I gotchu dad, don't worry"

Ok listen, I'm kicking my feet thinking about Miles tuning his uncle's Ducati (and prob Aaron has a Ducati Scrambler. I do not take criticism), while listening music I'm just *giggling like a schoolgirl*

Btw I feel like if Miles ever had a motorcycle for his personal use and not for Prowler activities, it would be a Kawasaki Ninja or a Yamaha XSR 900. For Prowler activity honestly, he would have a Hayabusa bc it's fast as fuck, with purple neon lights like his Prowler suit. you cannot argue with me. I feel like it was a way of him and his uncle spend time together before his dad died

Miles prob is always tinkering with the titanium claws and his paraphernalia. (I love this word btw)

So yeah prob hes always with his uncle doing shit on the motorcycle or his suit while listening music or sum, or practicing boxing together.

And I bet his mom slapped them two when she once arrived and saw Aaron teaching Miles how to pilot a bike

"What you're doing with my son Aaron!" *that one meme of a man slapping the player on the shoulder*

"Ouch ouch! I'm just teachin' the kid how to pilot Rio, I surrender I surrender!"

"¿Y tú? ¿Qué diablos está en tu mente, Miles? ¡Montando una motocicleta! What am I going to do with you Miles Gonzalo Morales?!"

"¡Cálmate mamá! Uncle Aaron was just teachin' me, no es gran cos- ouch! Mom that hurts!"

Speaking of which, Mama Rio has insane strength on her arms (being a nurse demand a lot of strength to carry patients, changing their clothes, helping them bathe and all), that being said, when Mama Rio get ✨la chancla✨ oh boy, run, no kidding, run

(Everytime my mom grabbed her havaianas I runned more than Usain Bolt. I still do honestly)

I have a feeling that Miles knows how to cook, like he always knew. Arroz con pollo? Bet, does it with eyes closed. Fancy meals? Oh boy he's probably the only guy that the women of the family let inside the kitchen to help with Christmas banquet.

He eat his veggies, hates wasting food, it's not a picky eater but don't put pickles on his burger for the love of God.

Bet his nana tried to give him a bit of coquito without his mom seeing. (I hc his nana is one of those old lady that are a menace to society)

"Take a sip don't worry, No one is watching"

"No nana I'm all good"

"¡Mamá! Take this away from Miles."

Since his dad passed away he understood quite early that now he is the man in the house, that now he's the one to take care of his mom. So he started paying more attention to the chores. His mom is on duty? He's putting some music and cleaning the house, changing the blankets of his mom's bed, and probably making something for her to eat when she come back.

Prob has his mom schedule on his phone to make sure he knows where she is so it wouldn't risk her seeing his as the Prowler and he can watch out from the buildings while Rio walks to her work

Sunday family lunch was usual at Miles' house, his dad 'helping' his mom with the food (he just looked and passed her the ingredients), while Miles set the table. Music on the radio, enjoying the day before Miles need to go back to Brooklyn Visions.

Prefer more salty foods than sweets. Likes eating steak, it doesn't matter if it's BBQ or carne assada, he likes meat. For sweets, he's obsessed with the way his mom does Tembleque (sorry Abuelita Gloria)

We know his room is quite similar to 1610 Miles, but I feel like he doesn't have as many toys as 1610 Miles does. He sold some and used the money to help his mom somehow, he just doesn't want to be a burden for her.

I feel like he doesn't give his mom the money, he straight up pays the bill, or does groceries, so there's no way his mom can deny it. That or he gives the money to his uncle and they pretend that it is Aaron helping them.

It's confirmed by the artbook that Miles Prowler is a vigilante. That being said I think he decided to be the Prowler to help his place somehow, maybe even to make his dad proud, and to make his mom's life easier (just imagine the amount of people that get in the hospital because of how dangerous is the city now my god).

His mom is the priority in his life, he loves his family, his neighborhood and his friends. He's a kind soul with a shattered heart.

Miles is a quite good student. Not the '🤓☝️ actually that's happened at 09:12 in 1786…' type of smart, but the fast thinking kind of smart student. If he doesn't remember the formula he uses logical thinking. Prob takes classes ahead of his years and since he's always tinkering with his uncle his grades in calculus related stuff are pretty high.

Very good with Spanish by the way. Since his dad passed away he started learning more and more to speak with his mom in her native language to make her feel more 'at home' somehow.

I feel like in the first week after his dad passed away he slept in his house for some time and not in Brooklyn Visions dorms, he wished to be with his mom. He did not want her to be alone on her bed, mourning hi dad's death. Abuelita Gloria stayed some months with them too to help her daughter and to help Miles

Miles do his best to be organized, make his bed everyday after waking up, his cabinet is always organized, his Jordans are clean and probably have a collection of them on a shelf in his room. The only messy place on his room is his desk

Has a vinyl collection, don't argue with me. There's literally a bunch of vinyls in his room, guys.

Has some old Puerto Rican singers vinyls on his room thanks to Abuelita Gloria

Miles sings a bit, and have quite a melodic baritone voice. For my synesthetic friends, his voice sounds like honey, Miles is most of times humming when he's making upgrades on his claws

He's more athletic than 1610 Miles. Parkour, boxing and playing basketball with his neighbors and uncle

Started parkour because of his prowler activities to keep up with his uncle, same with boxing, after all he needed to defend himself and his mom. I don't doubt he knows krav maga too and I also don't doubt he taught his mom self defense.

Bought his mom a self defense kit

Uncle Aaron teached him forbidden movements in jiu jitsu, I take zero criticism on that one

Miles has a hard time sleeping sometimes, doesn't shift much when sleeping and has a knife under his pillow or something both in his house room and in Brooklyn Visions.

Loves, love, loves kids, as i said he's a kind soul with a shattered heart, and I think he's quite good with kids, and scares the shit of some at the same time.

I feel 'angry painter' vibes from him. He sketches and all but I feel like he's more of a painter and graffiti kind of guy. I do think he knows how to play bass or piano btw

Would get piercings on his ear and tongue, yes. But since he's the Prowler it would be troublesome because of the time that takes to heal

The old ladies of the neighborhood love him, he's kind to them, and always scare away weird looking guys

Is the crush nextdoor of almost every girl on the neighborhood

One time he scared the shit out of a creep on his neighborhood. Punched the guy so bad that dislocate the man's jaw. Since then he need to hide himself on valentine day, the good part about it is that he got a lot of chocolate to eat.

Seems like a bad boy all the time but he's an introvert. Miles do his best to don't get attached to people bc he doesn't want to drag them into his world or risk people he loves

He just don't want see people dying anymore, that's why he does what he does, to make the world a little bit safe, even if it's just a bit

Hi I made a crackfic for Arctic's death because I had a terrible, horrible idea inspired by that old fandom meme. I don't regret anything <3

"Aaannnddd...perfect!" Darkstalker stepped back. "All set and ready to go. Haha! Look at him! Clearsight, look, c'mon. Come see."

"Darkstalker, I don't think this is a good idea–"

"Shut up woman and come look," he bluntly said. "Come on, it's not like the camera's gonna bite you or anything. Neither is Arctic, but, eh, maybe that'll add to the drama. The kids love it when people get hurt, it's why they watch it."

He grabbed the camera again and pointed it at Clearsight. "It's rolling. Come on, babe, don't you wanna do it? For the bit? Ohhh it'll be such a funny thumbnail. Everyone's gonna click on it. Just stick your head near him."

"I'm not going to bite an innocent dragon..." Arctic muttered.

"HA! Oh but it's okay for you to do that to me. Not cool dad. Mid dad behaviour, tee-bee-haitch. To be honest. Tee-bee-haitch– you get it."

"Back in my day we just called somebody a 'loser' if they were a bad parent. Like, me? I'm a dead-beat dad."

"Yeah, that's true." Clearsight nodded.

"But I'm not...mid? What does that even mean?"

"Mannn you so did not cook. 'Dead-beat'? Yeah, you're gonna be dead as hell once I'm done with ya. Like for real done. Dead. Deceased. Ain't coming back from that."

"God just kill me now," Arctic grumbled.

"In a minute! Me. I'm God. It's me. Get used to it :)"

"What was that sound you just made with your mouth--" Clearsight began but Darkstalker cut her off. He couldn't bother to hear such a whiny, woman voice. He needed to pay more attention to the crowd that gathered.

"Hey, hey! Guys! Check this out! I'm a livestreamer. I do all of these cool things on Twitch and YouTube. Follow me! My handle's Darksalter. Like Darkstalker, but salty, cause of all of the noobs I own on my daily League of Legends streams."

The surrounding NightWings just blinked at him.

"Ughhhh. How about you guys being recorded, huh? You get famous! Right here, right now, this is a big deal. No cap, this is serious. This is gonna be a livestream to end all livestreams. There's gonna be like at least ten dragons watching!!"

"OH MY GOD!?" One dragon shouted. "TEN??? I've never seen anybody have that many, hold on! We gotta watch this guy!"

Immediately, the entire population of the Night Kingdom arrived. Even the queen (a closeted Darksalter fan, who was wearing all of his merch) was waiting for him. They all cheered and clamoured for him.

"Settle, settle! I know you're all such adoring fans. Believe me, I would love me too. Already do! Such a great, handsome, all powerful animus." He flexed his muscles. "Plus, the ladies love me." He glanced back at Clearsight, who had the most aggressively unenthusiastic frown he ever seen.

"But, but, we gotta wait a minute. First, I gotta mew."

"What does that even mean?" Clearsight asked.

Darkstalker did not answer. He brought a talon up to his snout and then traced the outline of his perfectly gorgeous jawline. I mean just look at that thing. Downright beautiful. Like, come on now. Look him up right now. Yeah, yeah! The thang of all time! That sweet, succulent jaw. Bro's been mewing since the day he was hatched.

[A/N: it is a pretty cool jawline]

He cleared his throat. "Anyways, enough talk. You had your shot for the thumbnail, so now it's all about me." He looked at the camera and enchanted it to float. It hovered above, pointing at him. "Three, two, one..." He clapped. "And we're live!"

The crowd cheered and roared as he did so. No omegaluls. No minus ones. He was an unboxing andy just about ready to tear open into his best work yet.

"Hey what's going on Stalker Gang! How are the stalkers in chat going? Can we get the hype train going?" He gestured to the crowd, which yelled and screamed louder. "Yeah!! Let's go Stalker Gang!!"

"Darkstalker...this isn't you." Clearsight sobbed. "You don't do this. You aren't like this!"

"Baby, I'm an influencer. It's my duty as Twitch's No. 27 streamer of all time!"

Clearsight cried more but Darkstalker did not care. He turned back to the camera. "Ayyy guys!" He clasped his talons. "So, today is a very, very special day, because we have a guest! That's right, my terrible, very uncool, incredibly mid father! Look at him. Blue pilled in every sense of the word. Even his blood's blue, which y'all are gonna see real quick." He pushed the camera directly in his face.

"Hey, hey, everyone!" He gestured to Arctic. "Can I get a 'boo' from you all?"

With his command, the crowd began to jeer at Arctic. A wave of rotting tomatoes came hurling his way, splattering against his face.

"And, with that being said, this stream is sponsored by Glep. Get a Glep. Now. Or else. You don't wanna be there when Glep is upset. That's how the last moon was destroyed." He stared silently into the camera for a minute, as customary with the Glep sponsors.

"NOW!! Let's get this going!" He pointed at Arctic. "You. Unbox yourself."

"Wh–" Arctic didn't have a chance to finish before he clawed at his torso and gutted himself. The crowd kept cheering and applauding and tossing money at Darkstalker.

"Woah woah, pretty messy, huh guys?" He raised an eyebrow. "Totally unpoggers. L behaviour. Boo!!" But when he turned back, he noticed that everyone stopped cheering.

"Bro, dude," one dragon began, "poggers is so, like, old man. That's so cringe, skull emoji."

Then, they began to dissipate. Quickly as they arrived, they left. He was cringe now. So cringe.

"No, NO! Wait! Come back! I'm still relevant! I'm still hip with the kids! I– I..." But it was too late. He was cancelled for being cringe. Everyone was bored by him. He was out-of-touch. He was out of time. He was out of his head when they're not around.

Behind him, he heard his sister, Whiteout, crying. He turned back to see that her favourite stim toy, a rainbow coloured pop-it shaped like a crewmate from Amomg Us, was lying on the floor. Things must be serious.

"Sis, are you upset at me?..." he muttered.

"Yes! You just unboxed our dad! My trauma points are like so high right now. I can't even..." She wiped her tears and kept crying.

Darkstalker looked back at Arctic, who was dead. Very dead. He growled. "When I'm the alpha king of the world, everyone will be my fan. Everyone will follow me! Everyone will like and subscribe! You'll see, you'll all see!"

Oh boy, oh boy oh boy OH BOY!!!

Ch 13 dropped, it dropped on my forehead as if s ok someone just threw a slipper into my face (that's how powerful it is!!) AND YET AM STILL WIGGLING MY HANDS AND LEGS FROM EXCITEMENT!

So! The review! *take deep breath* When the ch started with Leonardo begin in bed and how you talked about him unable to Make it to breakfast nor lunch and even couldn't apologize? I knew he was feeling 'overwhelmed' since he can still feel the 'phantom pain' (i think they call it that) and feel the burden of not takin' care of the kids, his son CJ (yes in my heart CJ is leo's son).

How you talked about Leonardo's days in the apocalypse broke my heart easily; he had to do it since it's his duty, his job and multiple lifes are counting on him wither they like him, love him or hate him... They needed him.

And it breaks me because like school in weekend; when you're used to wake up early in half of the week, surely you'll wake up early with no alarm clock. (It had happened to me multiple times, you don't know).

And how he remembered mikey made something special for him, his brother f!mikey and CJ? Adds more guilt. Raphael begin the worried mother hen? More guilt added to Leonardo's guilt bank book.

Then someone came, thought it was future mikey but IT'S 3.0 SHELDON!! WHERE WERE YOU BUDDY?!?!

This gives me amount of happiness since we know Donnie - and probably future Donnie - are happy that his kid is back!

When Leonardo promises to join the meeting at 6 i was like " don't force yourself! You're tired!🥺 " but later on i thought that Leonardo maybe needed something to take his mind off and this meeting is what he needs.

Going to the kitchen, meeting little mikey always makes Leonardo happy so am happy the baby boy didn't get upset with him completely for messing the breakfast nor lunch, at least he's gonna eat... I felt at the end of the kitchen part that mikey knew Leonardo was overwhelmed and what he needed wasn't scolding but hug and care... And boy am i happy he had done that.

Fast forward to the lab, Donnie doing the YT intro which takes about 10 minutes before diving into the point of video/jk (come on, gotta bully him once before i move forward 🤣).

Then i see the spoiler part and be thankful and happy " if you were to make Leonardo hug someone first other then CJ i would've came knocking on your door/jk/jk "

The process of equipping the new arm reminded me of a person taking a needle for the first time in a long time, and Leonardo feeling the burn through his skin that almost made him bite his tongue was scary 😱 i do not want to imagine that!

The part where Donatello (future him) getting so excited and proud about past him made me happy! It's like he wanna shout " LOOK AT ME! YOUNGER ME! HE DID IT!! HE'S AMAZING!! " ahaha...

Then came the test, when Donnie asked him to move his fingers and hand i was like " bro just ask him to dance and make it short " then couldn't stop imagining NQK leo dancing fortnite style xD

Finally the 2nd gift came - and i thought Sheldon was one of them - LEONARDO CAN FEEL HIS RIGHT ARM?!?! TERV YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I WANNA HUG YOU RIGHT NOW!! THIS MADE ME MORE HAPPY AND GIDDY FOR LEO!!!

And then it's dropped because FUCKING BIG MAMA!!! Terv, my amazing fluff/ comfort goddess, i love you and your fics and your art/p

But i hate big mama and battle nexus champion (in short BNC) to bits!! If i can i would bitch about big mama 24/7 and choose kraang over her!!

I even made this for her personally.

So i don't know if there can be comfort with that bitch! Am sorry terv, i hate her as much as i hate cockroaches.

FINALLY I'M HERE!!! Thank you for your patience! <333

But gosh, this time I don't have anything to add – your observations and feelings are always such a delight but this time they're even MORE of a delight and I'm brimming with joy!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to read the chapter and write this review!!<3

...ah well, I do have something to add. (That Big Mama meme hahjahsgfdjhsdg frickin hilarious, 10 laugh out louds of 10 laugh out louds.) I'm so sorry I threw you off with the end of the chapter but I PROMISE YOU it most likely won't go how you think it will, and obviously, true to my NQK shenanigans, Big Mama is not the villain she so very expertly made herself appear in the show... up until getting beaten up by Shredder. :D

Im a silly goose on all platforms, I love memes and I love laughing. But I talk a lot about healing, the divine feminine, the spiritual war taking place, the lifting of the veil, chaos magic and disciplined surrender on Facebook. Cuz I’ve been asked to, by God. I know it sounds crazy, but God put me on desk duty and I’ve been doing it for years. I shared the video that changed my life in 2017 the other day and Facebook permanently disabled my account. Which was just huge confirmation I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing. The video was about the veil lifting and how we need to vibrate higher to protect ourselves from harmful energies and beings we cannot see (most of us any way). I’ll share it here, it’s on YouTube. I started a new fb account, with full intention of being more strategic about how I share the information. I’ve had the account for less than 3 days and I’ve already been thrown in fb jail. Clearly on some type of watchlist. But it doesn’t mattterrrrrrr. “They” have been denying and suppressing the divine feminine for eons. But we are in a time where they might be able to slow the vehicle down, but they can’t stop the flow of traffic. Guess I just gotta start talking about the divine feminine more here. I have more followers here than I have on IG and friends on my old fb combined. We are all spirits in meat suits, protecting our spirits should be our number one priority in life. Demonic attachments, 4th dimensional parasites, lower vibrational entities…. They only hold power if you’re vibrating on the same frequency as them. This is why disciplined surrender is so important. This is why understanding that belief systems only matter but so much is so important. What does your HEART look like? Is it full of love, or is it full of darkness? What type of demons are locked away in your subconscious mind? What pain are you actively running from instead of embracing? Getting honest about that… is a good place to start

the west wing, in this white house, sentence starter meme.

Okay. Well, can I give you a little friendly advice?

I thought it turned out they didn't know anything?

I'll step in, and I'll take some of the punches for you if it gets out of hand

Lying's an awfully strong word...

I've really gotta admire the way you came into work this morning, head held high.

And I appreciate your being the one person who's managed to abstain from heckling me.

She's making the chicken sound now.

I can sense civic duty a mile away.

'Cause this is one of those things you're excited about after breakfast that you forget you told me to do by lunch.

You really want me to do this?

When they close the book on me and you, it will say that at this moment you were not there for me, and for that, obviously, there'll be some kind of punishment.

I've been paying attention to other things.

You got lost on your way to work?

You know you haven't asked me anything yet, right?

Well, what the hell made you think I wouldn't scream where there are people?!

She'll be happy to hear that, she's standing right outside the door.

I've been thinking about that ever since your office called me on Tuesday, and I have something to say on my own behalf, if you'll permit me a moment to say it, and I understand if you won't, but I would really appreciate it if you did.

I... didn't really follow that, but whatever.

I think that that is wrong, and it is inappropriate. It's inappropriate, and I'll tell you what else.

Well, then, if you'll permit me, why was I summoned?

You have an interesting conversational style, do you know that?  

It's a nervous condition. 

I used to have a nervous condition.

How did yours manifest itself? 

I drank a lot of scotch. 

I get sick when I drink too much. 

I get drunk when I drink too much.

I loathe almost everything you believe in.

I'm not going anywhere, I'm standing up, which is how one speaks in opposition in a civilized world.

I don't have any pets. I was thinking about getting a pet, but-- that doesn't matter. The point is...

You're listening to me, but you're not understanding me.

No, I'm disagreeing with you. That doesn't mean I'm not listening to you, or understanding what you're saying. I'm doing all three at the same time.

No. But thank you for talking to me, instead of about me.

[caeloservare]

[other] you gotta talk about his prosthetics pls i am begging ;w;

Physical features meme I'm so late for ;u;

//Aksjhdjss I'm real grateful because I thought I have nothing left to say other than things buried somewhere in my hc tag, but seems I do. Of course I do. This meme is focused on physical aspects so let's gooo!

His prosthetics are mostly carbon fiber, nanotech and other tech let's shrug off as fantasy-eque and science beyond my knowledge. Carbon fiber mostly to strengthen them, so he can use them like he would use his limbs. They turned out even stronger, but if he goes ham with lifting or holding something on his cybernetic "super strength", stumps and all places where these meet his flesh body will take damage. They're probably made of mix of metal used for jets for durability and as lightweight as possible. Also they're plated with silver to ensure no bacterial nor fungi growth. It's easiest worn down layer, so it's mixed with something that would prevent both oxidation and his body from shining like dog's balls. Miss him with the beach episodes or everyone will know Gondor calls for aid

There are led lights on his upper arm, thigh and chest that provide info about technical status. Mostly about battery's life, so if they dim too much (which he too often lets happen) it's time for a long and exhausting maintenance and changing the (i need a better word for battery-like-thing but I forgot). If he goes to Pietro and he usually does, it takes at least few long hours for the whole check up and replacement of (baterries. Let's ignore it and call it batteries). For any other parts it can take up to few days off active duty, as some are simply too complicated and might not be at hand. While we're at this, James does most of his most basic check ups and tuning himself. He can't really do all of it though.

Shapes are rather sturdy and bit outdated. Newer models wouldn't have exposed joints like his does. Shoulder joint, elbow, wrist, knee and ankle are sadly easy to get dirt in and stuck, so he cleans them regularly. Newer models would do better job at mimicking his body parts, but his prosthetics aren't bad at it either. It was probably first this extensive project in Atlas, likely in the world, who knows if not the last. Usually people don't have this much luck and stubbornness to stick to life to survive something like this. Anyway-

His limbs are cold. There is no logical reason to warm them up, so the heating is only for his chest and regions where prosthetics connect to his body. Limbs have heat vents but otherwise are cold. Yet another reason for him to wear at least one glove.

Given he had these for years, there's scratches and dents in various spots. Only thing that gets replaced when scratched are the sensory pads on inner of his palm and bottom of foot. The rest, unless it is a significant damage, gets some coating to prevent rusting and stays. Dents are mostly present on his knee and shoulder as he tends to direct impacts there. They're not big tho. Good spots to run fingers over wondering where they came from while James might not even feel the touch there. Just saying~

Since I've already strayed from sheer physical aspects, let me add that he has subtle tells when his prosthetics are acting up or his brain has hiccups processing them. He tends to clutch at them and pull them closer to his body. It can be very subtle as his hand holding the other behind his back tightening the grip (can happen for other reasons too of course), grabbing around elbow and pulling his hand a little closer. A little worse with leg, as all he can do is holding his knee and adding a bit of pressure to it to ground himself. Also it can show as he might start limping slightly. If it gets bad though, he simply signs off for working from home or even takes a day off if he has to.

The Dragon Prince Thoughts Season 2 Episodes 1 and 2

I took a little break because I am sick and feel like crap rn but I finally have the energy and motivation to watch more so I’m back!

Episode 1

-aw what happened to the sparkly hands in the intro

-fire elf things I’m assuming

-is she in Xadia cause there’s elves but also how would she get there before Callum and Ezran

-“you were looking for another good word to describe me, right? Well I consider myself quite daring” I love her

-STOP I FORGOT HE DIDNT KNOW HARROW WAS DEAD

-I’m serious if he never gots to read Harrow’s letter to him I’m done

-is Ellis gonna be with them from now on because I have no complaints

-well at least Viren doesn’t look like a zombie anymore

-“You’re out of order, Lord Viren. Only a king or queen can call for a summit” I totally forgot her name but this girl is awesome

-Phoe-Phoe is literally so pretty like I want her as a pet

-girl why did you have to TELL THEM THAT why can’t they just eat in peace

-“my duty is to prevent humans from discovering this place” well I gotta say you’re doing a bang up job

-ay Bait’s looking a little jealous

-AWWWW

-if they’re trying to make me feel sympathy for Viren it’s not gonna work

-“save it for someone who cares” she’s so done lol

-Zym is literally so cute I wanna die

-y’all chill out it’s a freaking bush

-this show is literally so pretty oh my gosh

-going out on a limb here but I think he’s gonna learn magic guys lol

-Note to self: the old elf lady’s name is Lujanne

-ah yes the classic “I overheard someone else’s advice and decided that it also applies to my situation” love to see it

-the Crow Master seems like a cool guy ngl, even the nameless characters are the best

-ok I get that she’s trying to tell him the truth but like I think he knows he’s human you can stop rubbing it in

-I’m sorry but the way she just picked a rose then dramatically passed out was so funny

Episode 2

-yay the sparkly hands are back!

-“are we gonna fight or is this a talent show” HAHAHAHAH

-“I keep telling people, “sweep the leg” is not a thing in sword fighting!” hehehehe

-Gren is so chill about being in this dungeon

-FINALLY some has an appropriate freak out response to Zym’s cuteness

-someone make this a meme

-Soren feeling really guilty one second and convincing himself he’s doing something good the next is actually really sad I feel so bad for him

-Claudia’s appearance makes her look super cool and dangerous but really she’s just some magic geek who loves cute animals and I love that for her

-she actually has a point like we kill bugs all the time why not get some use out of it

-so like it’s obvious that Callum is gonna learn to do magic on his own the question is does he learn because he finds a way to understand it like Lujanne was saying or does he have some elf in his bloodline or something

-the fact that the main character’s unrealistic crush is usually really cold to them and doesn’t like them but Callum and Claudia are literally besties rn is so refreshing like yes more of this

-has Rayla been just stalking them this whole time they were hanging out like where has she been

-“I can see you believe it. But I’ve known Soren and Claudia for years. You and I don’t have that yet” dang.

-when Soren said “I took no joy in that” after Claudia brought up the zip line and the way he says it sounds like it’s supposed to be funny when really it’s the truth

-“I’m glad my wisdom helped”

“It didn’t, it was wrong”

“Was it? Or was it just differently true?”

Imma start using this whenever someone disagrees with me

-am I supposed to recognize the place in the mirror

-hold up are Callum and Claudia less far in age than I thought cause what was that

-“I know what happened, he’s gone” I knew this was coming so why am I crying

[yzeltia]

1, 20, 42, and 43 from the wholesome ask meme

1. Y'zel: Honey Glazed Salmon, savory and a blend of sweet and salty

U'rahn: Griffin Jerky, a work out to chew and filling. Prefers peppered.

20. Y'zel: Marksmanship. I've been fiddling with writing Y'zel's proficiency. I realized a bit into the Handed Down from Stone series that my intention to show that he's not the best in certain classes, meant I left out a lot of stuff he is good at. He's good with ranged weapons, but I don't really showcase it all too much. Perhaps because I don't enjoy writing combat haha. His shooting skills are all picked up on his own and I'd say the one thing he's naturally gifted at?

U'rahn: Cooking. He's really never given an opportunity to do so, and it is not his passion; however, it falls in line with his love for alchemy. Mixing things together to make something cool! He's pretty good at a grill, but his best cooking comes in the form of soups, more inline with alchemy himself.

42 Y'zel: "I have no idea why I keep taking on so many projects. Why can't I say no? I really just want to spend time with my loved ones, and I suppose this puts me in that position, but I get overwhelmed easy and make so many mistakes."

U'rahn: "Okay. I just gotta be cool. Just gotta tell her...I lo...I lo....I...I feel that thing. She'll be okay with that right? I'm special to her...I'm her boyfriend after all...but I'm a Nuhn too and have my duty to the tribe...but she makes me feel so much different than any of them. I mean, I know I can pretty much do anything cause of the whole Echo thing...but, she really makes me feel like I can do anything...even the stuff that's super hard like writing and math. I feel like I'd be a better leader with her at my side. Gah. This is so embarrassing and uncool!"

43. Y'zel: "...yeah I haven't figured it out either. If you can learn how to get by, let me know."

U'rahn: "Aw, buddy. She'd tell you if she didn't feel the same way. Point blank."

(The creator is rather unhelpful)

The undead war

So I'm going to (try) quickly explain the undead war in my suneye au

So the undead war was a war with the Titan trappers. A hooded figure with a eye medallion ,( hint it the person that starts the suneye cuit ) convinced the leader of the Titan trappers at the time to go to war with the boiling isles for more resources and cause they really don't have a concrete form of government at the time. ( Thought they did have knights like Jay and Jacob)

It is called the undead war because thanks to the suneye medallion ( maybe this will be easier if I explain the dam cuit) they got the mends to making soulwalkers. soulWalkers are similar to grimwalkers but ugly ( think of an love child of an abomination and a Frankenstein looking monster) . They similar to grimWalkers cause there both made with bones ( and what ever that lung thing is called) but except being power by a soul gem( I think that what it is called. It the middle thing) there power by actual souls that are connected to the bones. They come in 3 class; humanoid, animal and both. They can be ready big and they bleed black. ( Hunter in this au is a grimWalker but don't have a soul gem and bleeds black). They regenerate when soul is not put to rest. Also if you get stabbed or impaled by one the wound stinks ( almost berning)

To Combat this the there was 3 facons knights , grave guardians, and the healing cop.

The knights were on the front lines Dering the war. They could kill soulwalkers but they couldn't put them to rest like grave guardians can. They also dealt with the trappers.

Grave guardians were in charge of protecting the dead ( hence the name) so they can't make more soulwalkers. They can take down soulwalkers and put them to rest. They were station in local graveyards in the boling isles. They also do regular graveyard duties to. They get a cool tattoo same thing with the healing cop.

The healing cop was incharged of healing the civilians, knights, grave guardians, basically anyone who was injured Dering an attack. They were also fight ene Titan trappers that are aound Dering as attack. So they can text protect civilians(basically the personification of" I'm a doctor but..." Meme)

Your probably wodering what ever lovely wittebane brothers have to do with this.......... Well gust what they were fighting in this war to. Well there son were on the front lines, making a name for them themselves. They were protecting boneborough. ( Thought not willingly)

Philip was part of the grave guardians. He really didn't have a choice, he work at the graveyard before the war. So if he wanted to keep his job he had to become a grave guardian. He had to figure out a whole new glyph combo and chant to just to take down soulwalkers. He also had a sword name blue union ( cause it glow blue) it could tern into a staff at well. He got stabbed by a soulwalker once in the stomach ( the man gotta taste of his own medicine) it left a huge scar.

Caleb was part of the healing cop. He became one completely by attendant. He was getting More carving tools one day, when an attack happen. he can't just not help so he help the injured. ( Sence he used to help Philip when he got injured when he was younger) he also stabbed a trapper in the neck with carving tools. After that he was whisk away by other healing cop and got enlisted. In the end he came home with a tattoo and new job.

----------------

Evelyn: what happened?!!!

Caleb: ( confused) ....I think a got a job unwelling

Evelyn: o well.

--------------------------

Here is a picture of the their uniforms and their units logo. I tryed to draw them shirtless so you can see their tattoos and Philip scar..... It not great but not bad but you know practice makes perfect

I'll probably add more latter but that it. ( I hate myself sometimes, this was not quick!!!)

WIP ask Meme

Oh I gotta know about this one: Unnamed Jack Benjamin/Thor Fic (Kings/MCU Crossover)

For the WIP Ask Meme (feel free to ask me about any of the ones on the list!

So this one is probably truly dead, which is a shame, because I really love the idea of it. It's set after the finale of Kings, and post-Thor 2 & AOU (and ignoring the subsequent Thor & Avengers' films), and features Thor in Gilboa at some party or another that Silas and Rose are throwing, and he meets Jack, and realizes pretty quickly that Jack is basically a political prisoner and decides to rescue him in his very Thor-like manner. Never got beyond the planning stages, but here's a bit of me plotting it out:

Silas is trotting jack out to quell the rumors that Jack is dead or being held captive

and Thor, as royalty, is invited and he's normally too busy to accept these sorts of invites and what does he care about petty Midgardian monarchies but there's something about Gilboa and Silas that strikes him as false. something of Loki in Silas' smile that rubs him the wrong way so he accepts and goes to the party determined to find out for himself one way or another what is the truth

and that's when he sees Jack who is doing his duty, because if he doesn't, they'll kill Lucinda, and Jack is many things, but he's not about to let some innocent girl pay for his sins with her life

but the second Thor sees him, he sees past the cold exterior and the calm facade to the brittle, fractured man inside and he wonders at the pain and the anger and the resignation lurking behind that smirk and those cool blue eyes

(and Jack is intrigued by this prince, bc Thor is like David, only magnified to 10, and Thor also has ZERO fear of Silas)

so imagine, at this function, Thor talks to Jack for, idk, maybe the 5 minutes they're allowed to, under the very watchful eye of Jack's guards

and goes, yeah, no, something's off here so, he does something very rash and very (potentially) stupid, but that's also Thor

he's going to figure out what's going on and he's going to help if he can, and so he basically bullshits (but not really) his way into claiming Jack as…let's say concubine or companion or whatever you want to call it

and it's not exactly like Silas can refuse bc Silas may be king of Gilboa, but Thor is a crown prince of ASGARD

and Jack's sort of annoyed because, what the hell, he's not some object to be sold off, but at the same time, watching someone Silas can't control or intimidate making a demand that Silas CAN'T refuse is sort of hilarious (and he wishes David was here to see it) and it's a massive turn-on to see someone that assertive and yet that soft-spoken, and who's capable of being kind to the staff (let's say earlier, Jack witnessed some small act of kindness on Thor's part), and yet so arrogant

plus, if it gets him out of the castle, he's okay with that, as long as Lucinda is safe

and then Thor insisting Jack will leave with him and improvising, i'll take Jack and his companion, because i'm a god and i have appetites that no one person can satisfy, etc, etc

(but yeah, no clue what to do with them or where to put them or how it all works afterwards, because he hadn't quite thought that part of the plan all the way through, and Jack being even more amused and somehow MORE charmed, although he'll never show it)

so Jack's all, okay, look, i can't go back to Gilboa and neither can Lucinda, and i can't join David in Gath just yet because he's not ready to take the crown, so how are we playing this

and Thor all, fuck, i need Loki. no, wait, i need the greatest tactical minds on Midgard (ie, Steve and Natasha), so he takes them to the Avengers compound and is all, soooo, help, i seem to have, um, procured two companions. how shall i proceed.

and Nat all (LOL) and Steve all, i'm sorry, you did what??? and Jack looking at Thor all, who ARE you and how can you be so calm threatening my father and so lost right now? and Thor all, well, that was combat, that's easy

Anyway, I'll probably never write it, but it's fun as hell to think about :D

[unearthlytwilight]

you know if Nino gets a chapter title referencing her she can't be all bad. right? right guys?

hey it's Vaida. there's a little light shed on her motivations but still not a lot. anyway Sonia tells her to get out

Sonia talks about human garbage a lot. in an alternate universe she is living her best life as a garbage truck driver

they really do have that sitcom frenemy energy huh. anyway, we get to eavesdropping. Sonia tells Nino she's going on a mission to assassinate Zephiel

shockingly, no one else thinks sending the fourteen year old to kill the twelve year old is a good idea. Sonia says that in Lloyd and Linus' absence (oof) she'll have to do and tells Jaffar to take her along. I'm sure this won't backfire

back to plot. this dude, Kenneth, teleports in and starts rambling about false gods, Shin Megami Tensei style. he also talks about how much he loves to watch people suffer, which I guess is just for the extra evil bonus points. then he teleports away. rude

so! there's two characters that have a chance of showing up. on this map, you get Harken if you don't kill two promoted enemies before turn 10, and Karel if you do. I went for Harken here, but will get Karel on my other file for completion's sake

Geitz we gotta talk about you starting sentences that way. he's talking about being deployed but still

little known benefit of promotions: hair extensions

surprise depressing first-person plural! let's get you to some therapy stat, man

you can recruit him with Eliwood, Hector, Oswin, Marcus, Lowen, or Isadora.

100% sincerity: this is an excellent first impression. it's not over-explained. you can infer what the unaddressed commands and usage of the first-person plural mean easily, and it adds that extra punch to his characterization. it's just a really good showing of who Harken is as a character. anyway, enough of me gushing

the fuck did I just say

100% sincerity again: this recruitment is also excellent. quickly establishes Harken and Isadora's relationship. him vanishing after realizing it's her is top-notch non-verbal characterization. Isadora's appeal to his sense of duty fails not because he's lost it or found it broken, but because he honestly feels that his duty is best served by dying, which is so interestingly fucked up. she has to appeal to his love for her. Isadora is really aggressive because she's trying to get him to not roll over and die. he even couches his eventual acceptance in terms of his lack of concern for his life.

anyway! newly promoted Heath putting in work. also he has swords now. Wyvern Lord go brrrrr

I agree with Hector, let's blow this pop stand

loot list:

- 1x Blue Gem

- 1x Guiding Ring

- 1x Talisman (consumable, raises Res by 2)

- 1x Bolting

Bolting is long-range anima magic, like Eclipse for dark magic or Purge for light. it's shown up earlier, but this is the first time in the game it's been usable. we'll be seeing it again very soon

twist of the century: Sonia is the worst

this is why the context of memes is important. like Nino is hyped to murder the twelve year old

next time: supports!

From There is No Luck, There is The Force:

“Thank you, Cody,” Obi-Wan says, smiling a little wider as he recognizes the tea. “You always take such good care of me.”

“I try,” Cody says, and Obi-Wan looks up at him sharply, smile beginning to fade. Cody usually says ‘My duty’.

“I suppose it’s not your duty anymore, is it?” Obi-Wan says.

“No,” Cody says. “I do it because I want to.”

From Two Many Horses:

  Sophie goes in. Eliot lowers one careful level of shielding and watches the affect in his office shift. Foss is getting offended, right, proper, and as intended. When Nate walks out, dragging Sophie behind him, Eliot pushes off the wall and heads back in.

  Foss nods at him and makes this tiny, false, frustrated smile. Eliot has to chuckle.

  “Sorry,” he says, “I’ve just seen that look before. That’s a Bob Gibson special.” 

From Feel What You Feel:

“I recognize the problems because I have them,” Master Windu says wryly, “I can’t teach the basics of lightsaber form, because I’ve gotten so good at synthesizing and improvising that I don’t consciously have a handle on what the basics are any more. Master Yoda has that problem with dealing with grief.”

“He’s too good at doing it to teach it?”

“Exactly,” Master Windu says, “He forgets to start at the beginning.”

From Things Seshmir Is No Longer Allowed To Do In The Warehouse

The following document is a fair copy of the original, which was scorched, torn, and stained, and was retrieved from the warehouse that Tessa Blackmoor, her girlfriend Ai Abushi, and several other associated criminals live in after the place burned down. It is presented without comment for the edification of the officers of the law who are pursuing these dangerous miscreants.

From There's Not That Much of a Difference Between a Theologian and a Private Eye

 Corra looks at the bug, and at Seshmir, and asks Orron for some more napkins. Seshmir pointedly prestidigitates himself clean, and then does the same to the table. Orron snickers.

 "I don't think Sahiri meant for you to eat that," Tessa says.

 "Jenkins doesn't eat, though," Seshmir says. "Except pain and suffering." Tessa rolls her eyes.

From Rustle of Leaves

       AuDy got into the bank with a money transfer. A money transfer going to, of all places, Jackson. Now what would AuDy want in Jackson? In a -- Mako does a little more research -- a Jacksonian fleshhouse.  

       What would a disembodied mesh intelligence want with a place that sells bodies.  

       “Oh, come on, AuDy!” Mako says. “There’s gotta be a better way to do this than  that.” But then again, depersonal cloning is illegal pretty much everywhere. For good reason, of course, because basically everything you can do with a depersonal clone is a Bad Thing, but it does limit AuDy’s options.

From I’ll Miss More Than Your Beer

   “Of course,” Seshmir says, turning to face him. “But I thought you probably wouldn’t want someone to pick up your armor and use it for something bad, and Michael didn’t want to be messing around with any magical artifacts.”

         “He asked you to bring these?” Orran gestures to the bag at Seshmir’s feet.

         “You left the door unlocked,” Seshmir says. He shrugs. “I’m sure the temple of Mordan has some way of dealing with armor that isn’t needed anymore.”

From This New Thing

     “You like them so much you fell over?” Fero sits Samol down again, leaning him up against the tree, brushing the back of his hand against Ordenna in the process. It’s still a strange feeling, even after all these years. His dirt drags onto the stars, and it’s like the opposite of getting a splinter, somehow. Ferrets make little mud nests in the corners of the stars, and it’s  Heiron, there where it shouldn’t be.

     “That newest one, the ferret — that scarf-caterpillar — it touched the stars and came back down. It left me, and it came back home.” It’s beyond words, and Heiron’s stretching out beyond mortal timescales with the      strangeness of it.

From The Heterodyne Boys and The Glass Dirigible

    “Remember the plan!” Klaus called.

     “Right, brother!” Barry yelled. “No kissing.”

     “Aww, really?” Bill tried the hang-dog look that worked so well on business owners who were about to double charge the Heterodyne.

     “No kissing,” Klaus and Barry yelled back as one.

From Iatrok

“An iatrok isn’t a doctor, though. It’s a person who has decided that they are devoted to ensuring the health of the people within their reach, whether that is their profession or not.” Cass sighs heavily, fogging their mask. Of all the moments for a human to understand something Apostolosian…

     “Also there’s some gender things,” Sixheart says, “But I don’t know how those work.”

     “It’s not gender,” Cass says. “If gender were like eidolosnei it would make sense.”

     Sixheart snorts. “Fair enough. So. Why does an iatrok want to know ‘just the basics’ of robotic repair and maintenance?”

b6 temp tri thoughts

bc hoo boy for me who hated b3 there is a lot to unpack.

firstoff b3 itself thoughts. gosh what a fucking disappointment of a story. for me this was where heroes story started to go downhill. initially gacha was kinda lame but the story was nice or at least bland and unoffensive (aka b1), and from b3 on the gacha was better but the story was much much worse.

before b3 i actually liked the starter trio bc sure, they were boring, but they seemed responsible enough. just like super generic standins for the usual lords/ect. after b3 their personalities developed. () was a fucking control freak and jerk, the sort of person who lectures you on your own customs and tells you why your beliefs are wrong, and also guilt trips you into complimenting them. () is a fucking stalker who has shit taste in relationships and people, thinks abuse is romantic, and is like the embodiment of being positive in a nasty way. () is a horrible leader, a kissass, and has none of the original characters likeable traits (defender of the weak, funny, ect) and instead is just ‘i love money’ memes.

the other characters introduced arent much better. gosh dang eir i was rooting for you to be a pamina character when you were first introduced. now i just feel like. the tired man with his cigarette looking done with everything. like i havent liked eir since b3 so i dont hate her now or anything but like. ok good for you youre a piece of shit.

honestly this is just gonna be me ripping b3 a new one so ill skip to the temptri story. as a premise its not bad, def better than b2s story: hel is left rulerless so the person who’s taken over needs to get rid of the other heir for like. competition. something something i think its like addressed in game of thrones or something idk medieval royalty politics. its like why macbeth sent assassins after duncan’s sons even tho they were out of the country. so the god/dragon of eir’s birthplace, who was also apparently her nanny, saves her life by merging with her and they go on a quest to retrieve the souls of eir’s dead subjects. like ok yea thats vaguely interesting sure go off.

the good: a little more development on hel/ymir. i also do like ymir! shes like the mom whos kinda a pushover, like if her kid (friend’s kid) wants to eat candy late at night she’ll do it bc she feels bad she wasnt in the kid’s life enough sorta thing. having the magic dragon being kind to the protagonist is such a fucking refresher after b2 of n ifl just threatening and demeaning fj orm (and laegy) for like five chapters (until they decided shes redeemable at the fucking last minute despite her being awful. but anyways i digress). i dont have a problem with her. cool good for you.

im having a separate section for ganglot bc i really liked her. like esp seeing the fan reaction against her and how badly shes written in the story makes me like her infinitely more! oh my gosh!

-shes actually dutiful at her job. like shes a really cool i think the word is anti villain? a character who actually has noble and good motivations but does it in a chaotic way/that is destructive to the protagonist. or something like that. theres a mess left over bc of the order’s swaggering and someones gotta clean it up and shes gonna be that someone bc her guardian is dead now, killed by her guardian’s adopted daughter. like her motivations are understandable, she’s after eir for medieval politics plus you killed/helped kill my role model slash mother figure who i thought was also your mother how fucking could you.

-shes that trope of “guy has a bitter animosity toward their presumed rival but said rival is just a dude. who acts normal abt it”. and gosh i love that trope. (herb, sal (from f g o and amadeus the movie version too), randall monsters inc, the list goes on i bet) its a good trope and i always love to see girl characters written with beloved traits of guy characters (gosh i wish there were more characters that arent guys written with wholesome kind jock kronk type characteristics. high school au feng is basically that. but again off topic). i feel bad for ganglot bc she just had to choose the person to have a vendetta against who would actually fuck her up out of proportion but. -doctor idv mourn emote-

-her design is nice and her backstory makes her personality/character more sympathetic. i like the classy formal look, it fits as her being a handmaiden and very dutiful, kinda like the maids/butlers in 14. im so grateful they didnt make her an au version of the main characters like the fan theories were saying. she was abandoned as a child and is older than eir/adopted presumably before eir was, which means she couldnt be those characters even if they wanted her to be. fuck you eat shit fall off your horse. anyways. she basically had nothing and was taken in by someone who not only provided for her needs but offered herself as an example. im willing to bet that seeing hel gave ganglot a purpose/something to look up to, and that hel, while providing for her needs, probably treated their relationship more as a business/apprenticeship sorta thing. in fact theres even stuff that said that ganglot loved looking after eir, which makes it seem like she was kind to eir (which makes what happened even more sad/pisses me off) and only hated her after she killed hel. and considering ganglot didnt know abt what hel did to eir, she wouldnt know why eir rebelled against her. and eir never fucking explains it to her. to ganglot it must look like eir just was like “oh woops looks like im a princess to a pretty lively fairyland happily ever after kingdom im ditching your goth busy realm of the dead to go fuck off and escape from my responsibilities and also imma help some pet self insert of a kill-happy spoiled ass prince and his friends kill your boss slash role model byeeeee -nail polish emoji-”. like idk. its totally relatable and understandable why ganglot would want to kill eir.

-her fatal flaw that leads to her demise is her kindness/mercy. which is something you almost never see with villains, esp ones that are supposed to be unsympathetic. like maybe in a series with an antihero who takes advantage of them falling for a trick or something. or like joseph joestar outwitting the pillar men, but then its less kindness and more like “honor/chivalry” being outwitted by wiliness, which imo is completely different. this is like if the hero is pleading for their life before fighting the villain, the villain decides to give them this out of mercy, and the hero, without explaining anything to the villain who presumably was their friend before, just fucking sacrifices their friend’s life to murder the villain from within in order to kiss up to their longtime abusers who have a sad backstory uwu and that makes it ok. gosh i fucking hate some aspects of this game. anyways i think a villain who has a point whose mercifulness leads to them being killed by a dirty trick is kinda interesting and at least new.

the bad:

-gosh i hate the u b w ripoff in the plot. like please just get a better plot point dont rip off a fucking boring f ate story. their appearances were played up but ultimately did basically nothing but motivate eir, potentially to do worse things but then again thats up in the air (no pun intended) how much of what she chose to do was “for my friends!” and how much was her own idea.

-the jokes abt eirs new design. i dont have a problem with her new design, or even her decisions. it makes sense, seeing shes spent the last however long around these assholes that maybe she’s changed for the worse (or rather from a blank slate to something worse than that). but what i do have a problem is w the “jokes”. no assholes you cant just “cure” depression for one what these characters have is more akin to life altering trauma and just bc theyre wearing brighter colors and smiling more doesnt mean their “depression is gone/cured”. i dont like the in game explanation for idunn but i have my version which is (imo) more meaningful and in character. i think for eir technically it makes more sense with the lore given, as besides askr, which treats her like a pet or a trophy, ymir is the first person in her life whose treated her decently, and in a parental way at that. so yea, not really w the design but definitely with the fans jokes. shut the fuck up.

-the writing. like as a sort of tragedy of people not fucking communicating a la spi derman 1 (2002) or an episode of conan its fine, in fact its pretty good. like for those reasons (+ the sort of medieval drama aspects) i like it or rather dont have a problem. its that those aspects are basically just glossed over for a generic and not really morally substantial “good wins evil loses” angle that this series likes to take. its not as bad as b2 where “sure this person basically kept your life as a carrot on a string to get you to fight your mutual respected former dead enemy who that person dehumanizes, and also they constantly belittle and threaten you but hey they had a crush on your ancestor so that makes them a good person uwu in the end”, but its still not great. like i said ganglot is a really cool character and very multi faceted and sympathetic, but the series just treats her like “hels evil successor who hates eir for no reason” and the fandom calls her incompetent so im just like. i will bite you but im also too tired. idk. i like ganglot. she seems like kind of a workaholic young lady who both is the “i serve someone and am super faithful but they really dont deserve me” trope i unfortunately like (i say unfortunately bc its fucking annoying bc i always end up hating the person theyre faithful to unless its beet and schooby and in that case beet is just too lovable to hate, and also he never asked to be idolized also so him being greedy is something you cant blame him for).

-i think if the story was done better? or like a version id actually like? theres not much id want to change. i think to make eir actually sympathetic she should actually try to communicate what she learned abt hel/what hel did to her to ganglot, and ganglot either ignores her or shuts down eir, or ganglot still cant forgive her even knowing the truth. something like that. a quick fix and that makes everything better. have a flashback to when they were younger and ganglot being kind to eir, and make it more of a moral conflict eir has against fighting and killing her former friend. kinda like the scene in spi derman 3 (2007). ok enough spiderman references id also address what happens to hel after the story. either eir kills ganglot and resumes the responsibility for both the realm of life and the realm of death. or she is able to defeat but not kill ganglot, while recognizing her as an enemy also has the strength of character to recognize she’d be a good ruler of the dead, and gives her blessing/relinquishes her claim to the throne while leaving, never to see her again or something. idk.

id also personally just eradicate all mention of (u b w characters) from the story and make the ending not that eir goes back to her “friends in askr” but that she goes back to set things right, not as their tool and pawn but as the leader her people in the realm of life (and depending on which the realm of death) need, acknowledging her responsibility to her people and her independence. but nooooOOOoo she goes back to the people who treat her as a toy like all happy to be that way. this years story and the protagonists happily sacrificing others for their schemes and then having the gall to act sad abt it afterwards as if tehy werent the one who twisted the damn knife istg
