#guardian of the spirit world

[incorrectstevesagaquotes]

Guardian: You are supposed to bang your fist against mine.

Alex: Why?

Guardian: I'm told it is a widely accepted gesture for mutual success.

Sabre: I love it when you two impersonate normal people.

“Time and the End” is currently my shortened nickname for Time Steve x Guardian

It references the realms that they overlook (time and the Spirit World, the end of most Steves' journeys. Ignore the fact that the End Dimension exists for a moment).

I'm not sure if I will commit to the nickname, but I like the sound of it!

...wait...

ETERNAL GUARDIANS. I LIKE THAT FOR THEIR SHIP NAME TOO.

Crossover Idea

DC x DP crossover where Danny runs not into the Batman and Robin of the living world, but the guardian spirits Gotham has created in the Infinite Realms Billionaire adopting him? No, he has the literal city spirits trying to adopt him as part of their family. 

Batman is a shadowy Creachur while Robin is a shapeshifter, taking aspects of the current and previous living robins, though has a bit more of Jason’s due to Jason having been well, dead for a bit. Perhaps why Jason was so mindless when he was revived, perhaps not, who knows.

another theory i have is that Saiki doesn’t exactly have a protective “spirit”. instead he has nendou. nendou is basically his protective spirit. Canon supports this and i am weirdly passionate about this theory. like it is basically canon to me.

I love that it's a fanficiton trope that Jack frost doesn't know anything of what's going on at all in the spirit or the real world when in fact it is the guardians who are canonically out of touch. (1:20-1:37)

I think my biggest issue with the live action atla is how all the issues the characters had were so... individualistic? They were issues primarily connected to their own self or disagreements with family members, and mainly conquered through finding their own power and learning badass bending and being a prodigy who learns things all by themselves.

I'm not sure how to phrase this properly but in the original, each character was influenced by the world they grew up in. Aang's denial, rage and occasional selfishness stems from him being an outsider to this world - he's a kid from 100 years ago with fresh grief from an event long past, no understanding of what living through war is like, and the weight of everything on his shoulders. Katara's anger and mothering comes from being cut off from her culture, having to step up and be her mother, and being treated as inferior to the men for being a woman. Sokka's sexism is a young boy's limited understanding of the role that men and women play in his tribe, and his consistent feelings of failure to live up to expectations or contribute to the group is a result of, again, having to grow up to take the position of leader far too quickly; trying to be his father. Everything about Toph is a pushback against the way she was smothered and restricted - the way the world makes assumptions about her because of her blindness. And for all that Zuko has daddy issues and whatnot, the core of his character is actually him wrestling with his upbringing, what it means to lead and serve a people, and questioning the nationalistic propaganda that was a fact of life for not just him, but everyone in the Fire Nation.

Atla is essentially one big road trip story. The detours are important, because it's on these that the cast find the limitations of their worldviews both broadened and challenged - and it's through others that their development occurs for the most part. Sure, they become stronger power-wise too - but that's not what actually resolves their internal issues. Their flaws are a product of their natures meeting their environments, so it's only by being in new environments and learning from the new people they meet that they grow, change, and adapt - all things that are absolutely pivotal for the cast to impact the world in turn in the way they all eventually wind up doing.

And I don't know, I just felt that wasn't there in the live action. Shades of it, sure, but, like I said, it was very self-contained, and didn't feel like a product of the world they grew up in. And the solution was usually just. Talk a few things over. Learn a cool new skill - without a master? You... you need a master, because bending is a martial art, not a superpower. No one in Avatar is supposed to learn everything alone... that's the whole point, and why one nation cannot rule all of them - they are all necessary, and all have something of worth to teach to others. Anyways, it was weird idk idk...

Feel like I could've explained this a lot better but this is the gist. Hope it somewhat came across?

Something I left as a WIP I'm deciding to be finished bc its sat for too long

Originally Time, Guardian, and Great were gonna be more detail/shaded/etc but eeeeeeeeeeh

Also yes, this is a crack ship. Its called Tea Party Book Club/TPBC and they are all fancy together

"Are we going to talk about anything other than the lies that I told you?"

Sabre trying to distract Guardian after Alex got absorbed by the crystal, probably

I need more Time x Guardian headcanons or I will go insane

The two are perfect for each other and I'm not taking anymore else

Also for giggles because I saw one of the other asks, how would Time react to the Guardian saying his fathers God Steve lol

You and me both, anon. I so badly want to make more posts and art about Time x Guardian, but I don't have the time or brain space for it T-T I hope I eventually get to it!

(In response to this ask)

Time Steve may have future vision, depending on how you headcanon his abilities. So he may not be surprised, but knowing God Steve is Guardian's father will not make Time feel less intimidated by him. I hope Guardian breaks his one rule and brings Time Steve over to meet him. He'd have the funniest and most intense "meeting my partner's parent to impress them" milestone ever.

Time Steve: Are...you content with me and Guardian being together?

God Steve: If I didn't enjoy you, I would have eradicated you by now. You can use your future vision to know if that sentiment persists.

Scene idea running through my mind; Lucifer full of despair after having his last meeting with God because he has been told the events of the future and the role he is supposed to play, far far away from everything he has loved, just for their sake, everyone’s sake, maybe even his own— and as he slowly walks, dazed and terrified, the young prince appears from a corner with a gentle smile, coming closer to his aid, worried over his apparent fears. In that instant he finally understands, and asks the naive prince if he wishes to have a taste of the tree of knowledge. When the prince accepts, both flaming souls meet and part away just as quickly. The prince can only realize what the action was when he sees the human do it, their lips meeting, their bodies trying to become whole again before they had been separated.
