Im afraid of the person I will become if we get belos witnessing huntlow or eda and getting dejavu in the last episode

On one hand, I feel like the obvious person that Belos would sees flashes of Evelyn in would be Eda. Because she's her actual descendant and bears a striking physical resemblance to her. But also, Belos is familiar with Eda. The Owl Lady was an infamous criminal wanted by the Emperor since long before the series began. I'm sure Belos noticed the similarities a long long time ago. He likely knows there's a family link. So, if those two end up having a confrontation, Belos won't be caught off guard by all the distinct Clawthorne features. He probably won't fly into a rage upon seeing her.

Unless....remember how angry she was in AOAW when Lilith stole Luz. She's gonna be just as pissed to see Belos has stolen Raine. And he's seen that kind of Clawthorne rage before. And it makes him relive things against his will. Maybe that's what makes him go ballistic. He knew who she was this whole time but things like the eyes and hair never bothered him much. But once Eda lights up in a fucking inferno of fury, Belos isn't seeing the Owl Lady anymore. He's seeing her and he's willing to throw away everything else just to see her dead.

I really love the idea that it's the emotions and the actions and the significance that stir the image of Evelyn in Belos' mind, rather than physical resemblance.

Which is one of the many reasons why I love the idea of him seeing her in Willow. Because she is the exact opposite of Evelyn in terms of appearance. Evelyn was tall and thin with sharp facial features, a head of wild bushy hair, burning amber eyes, while Willow is short and chubby with a moon shaped face, soft green eyes and neatly braided hair. She would fly completely under Belos' radar.

But...then he sees her holding someone's hand. And that someone has his brother's face. His brother steps between him and that girl, shielding her with his body in that stupid selfish way. And then 400 years are suddenly eaten away and he's a young man again with a death grip on a dagger.

It just goes to show that Belos' has become so consumed by denial and rage that his resentment towards Evelyn has mutated into a form of obsession in itself. Not only does she never die but she never stops taking from him. Killing Caleb just wasn't enough for her, but now she needs to make sure he can never have his brother back. He catches sight of her constantly. No matter how many centuries pass, she haunts him from the bodies of endless witches, in an endless cycle of taking. She's stolen hundreds of his grimwalkers.

What Willow looks like is irrelevent. She's the latest of hundreds of witches that Belos saw Evelyn in. The fact that his grimwalker is willing to throw his own life away just to protect her tells him everything he needs to know. This time, he kill the right person.

ridi im sorry i need to rant and i think youll get it 😭 like not to be a bitch but this fandom kinda going off the rails and annoying the shit out of me https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRbYASpf/ everybody in the comments unironically loving it,,, i mean wtvr ship who you want but its kinda getting delusional like ppl are just operating on thin air and pretty fancasts atp and i do Not understand or emotionally connect with any of it. at least w wolfstar theres so much material and foundation to explore but what is all the rest of this?? just hot celebrity fancasts and crack. to be fair part of me respects taking a terfs canon material and making everybody gay but the way it seems to be so oversaturating fics and the fandom that characters dont even feel like their original selves .. atp its all just surface level OCs

hello! yes! i'll be honest talking about things like this always make me a little nervous, and i feel obligated to preface anything i say with a disclaimer that none of it really matters, nothing i say matters, and you should do what you like, because--who cares. i am not an authority on--anything, frankly. my opinion holds no more weight than the next guy's, and all i'm doing here is giving it, so. essentially what im saying is--people are perfectly entitled to disagree with me, but people are not entitled to be mean to me about it xx

having said that. it is my personal opinion that s x barty is one of the worst fucking things i have ever heard lol. who even is barty who is that guy. why would s be interested in him at all. i do not understand it it does not make sense to me. from where are we sourcing the character traits and personality that we are giving barty that would ever endear sirius to him, because it objectively cannot be canon.

overall i do not get the new interest in barty + evan + pandora (+ regulus, but we won't go there)...at all, other than guessing that people were bored with the marauders and wanted a new version of them (and new celebrities to fancast) while simultaneously changing next to nothing about them other than superimposing them onto the first slytherin side characters they could rustle up. i expect ive become a bit of a broken record in regards to my dislike of the popular meow-meow-ification + complete absolution of regulus as a character in order to make him a loveable oc (just as i think erasing all the negative traits that r/s have in order to make them more likeable is just as boring), and all of that applies to those other guys as well (with the slight difference that they are, somehow, even less interesting and significant than regulus in canon), so i won't get into that too much. but i think what you say about having no emotional connection to any of it is exactly right lol--it is a sort of shift? i guess? in the fandom that is simply of no interest to me. they are characters that i just have no emotional investment in and admittedly struggle a little to understand why other people do. i am emotionally invested in, like, five characters overall (and even out of those--there's only two i'm really here for innit xx) and i personally cannot extend that investment to a creepy little side character who is mentioned maybe twice in the entire series.

and that is okay! i do not need to understand it. i don't want to say it annoys me because honestly--i don't go there, its nothing to do with me. if i dont like it i just wont interact with it, and the fact that it doesn't interest me has no bearing on what other people are into or want to do, and i couldn't give less of a shit what people do with the canon material, which is largely garbage anyway. take the bits you want from it, play around with those and ignore the rest. in that respect we are all doing exactly the same thing. but yeah i think s x barty is genuinely awful lol. hate it. very terrible. he's already got a loser werewolf boyfriend and he loves him so so much. leave him alone.

03 Bishop, 24?

OOH INTERESTING

24) What they wish they could change about themselves.

This is a tough one imo because 03 Bishop is generally very self-assured, like to a fault. He's blind to his own flaws, so what he would see as needing to be changed is probably dead wrong. Plus, to a degree, if he wants to change something about his physical body, he can, and we can assume he already has (enhanced strength, iirc, is outright mentioned as one of his newest body's perks.)

So that being said, there are a couple things I could figure. I think the obvious answer is he wants to be deadlier. More efficient. I think he'd cut out the need to sleep or eat entirely, if he could, just so he never has to stop working. If there were a way for him to guarantee nobody could ever stop him, he'd want that.

But I also think he'd want to be better at persuasion. People skills, if you will. We see some evidence to suggest Bishop kinda sucks at the networking/politics side of his job, and surely higher-ups keeping him from doing what he wants has to be a source of endless frustration for him. I kinda headcanon that he's always had difficulty with social interaction, and generally in the show most people don't come away with a positive impression of him. Where he's at in the 2000s, pure intimidation and results have gotten him pretty far, but surely he must know he'd get a lot more done if the people he answers to actually liked him at all. I mean, I guess there's always faking another invasion and/or assassination attempt, but I think those have limited uses.

(And then he does change that about himself! Thank you Fast Forward for affirming me👍)

//Was thinking about posting this on my alt, but since I figure I've spoken about this frequently enough on this blog and it's THE dedicated Leonard Space™️... //I'm throwing up and crying thinking about how leonard had never gotten to experience romantic or sexual attraction (or will ever GET to experience those things, unrequited or not) without complete dread and self-blame and guilt and how that must have been growing up with the hope and expectations of "Being in love must be so nice, I hope I'll be able feel that one day" and not ONLY having that hope gradually dwindle as he grew into the "expected marriageable age" watching those around him go on with their lives and attain those things in a way that seems so natural but is so foreign to him and the absolute sadness of the point the notion of "attraction" and "falling in love" turned to complete and abject horror and disgust when he realises that this is what his mind has decided is "Normal" for him, and all possibilities and aspirations he may have had of a child, teen, young adult, etc. up to that point of even the bare minimum is now a complete impossibility. //how it fully sets in he'll never experience love. never find his own family or someone to be interested in and care about in such a way or even feel attraction without that weight attached.... like idc, actual relationships are one thing but if ANYTHING you should at least be able to know the joy of falling in love if even for a SECOND without any strings (Disgust, guilt, self-hate, etc.) attached!!!! guys!!!!!!! //HE'S WAY TOO KIND AND GENTLE AND HANDSOME AND CARING AND HUMBLE AND A GENTLEMAN AND HANDSOME AND HIS VOICE IS WAY TOO SEXY FOR THIS SHIT, HE DOESN'T DESERVE THIS!!!!! LET HIM LOVE!!!!!!! HE'S SHOWN TO HAVE SO MUCH TO GIVE IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS (Parental, familial, just being an empathetic person towards his "enemies" in general) AND YET HE DIES HAVING NEVER KNOWN IT...... WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO HIM........... ouuugughhh.........

I can't fucking believe that I procrastinated my gender for like. A good three years.

[variousqueerthings]

what’s so good to realise is that BJ has gone through life being Just Some Guy, and then he moved into a tent with two incredibly weird guys, one of whom was eventually replaced by another incredibly weird guy, and he’s still technically Just Some Guy, but by virtue of everyone in this camp being some Type Of Way (especially his best friend) he’s gradually revealed that underneath it all he’s also a little freak, except for sometimes when his still technically being Just Some Guy is the weirdest thing anyone can be in a place like this

[death-and-the-codein-scene]

Girl who’s stuck in a time loop but doesn’t want to leave because she’s mastered 4 new languages and many new crafts and is having the time of her life just being able to relax without the pressure of modern society. One day she decides to hang out with her friends because it’s been a quite few loops since shes hung out them only to find out she’s now unrecognizable to them and think she’s pulling a bit. Now she has to decide between leaving the comfort and security of the time loop where she can’t have any more meaningful relationships or leaving the loop and having to start over because she can’t possible continue as things were

Im rereading Magnus chase and. Loki mind controlling his kids ??? What the fuck is that. Absolute nonsense. Why can he do this. The explanation for it is literally just 'he can lol.' How, Rick?? How and why

there are so many things in my life that are so weird rn so many big scary new things and idek. idek.

[volixia669]

So bearing in mine crack ships and rare ships seem to be my bread and butter, especially if a fic can make a reasonable argument for them...

I both love and hate how as a quartet, Kurapika, Leorio, Hisoka, and Illumi somehow work? At the VERY least as some weird ass friendship that Killua & Gon just stare at going “???????” And like, when it comes to Hisoka, we know Kurapika has gotten into contact with him and I feel like still gets random texts. Even when Kurapika changes his number. Kurapika never responds, but while some of the texts are disturbing, others do get a snort out of him. (And sometimes it’s the disturbing texts that do that but he’s totally doing fine.)

Leorio has sadly been put on a bus for awhile, but we know that fucking serial murdering clown Hisoka decided that “Nah, this one I’m gonna keep alive” in the Hunter Exam. One could argue plot armor, but mysterious reasons that Hisoka refuses to give up no matter how many times Leorio presses him are even better. Also I feel like they’d relate to each other on the most random shit and every time Leorio has to do a double take.

HisoIllu is such a fave ship, I don’t really need to go into those two, nor do I really need to go into LeoPika.

Illumi is where things get interesting. Mainly because personally I think in order for him to get closer to Leorio and Kurapika, he needs a few reality checks. Now, I don’t believe he just mindlessly follows what his parents say. His actions are mostly in line with his parent’s views, though his desire for more power as well as his desire to protect Killua means he will sometimes take a few extra steps more in line with his own goals.

Basically an outside character, most likely keeping an eye out for Killua, needs to call Illumi out on, “You’re causing more harm than good.” and “Is this really the life you want?” and “No seriously, what you’re doing is just plain stupid you’re making Killua hate you, even if he does do what your parents want and become head of household he’d have every right to kill you for how you’ve hurt him don’t be fucking stupid.”

Anyways. Outside character. Leorio can work for this, or even Hisoka (though his concept of normal is...warped). But given how the Zoldycks seem to use similar uh, upbringing tactics as Evangelicals, I’d argue that an older character would be more effective in getting Illumi to wise up. (It’s the whole obedience thing) I don’t think the Zoldycks have the whole “men are superior to women” thing, so can be an older female character.

So, have someone like Bisky, Morel, even an OC start Illumi on some character development, and now we’re cooking.

For starters, Hisoka gets to be slightly less done with this dipshit.

Then, Illumi tries reaching out to Killua in ways that are awkward as fuck as far as everyone else is concerned.

Which means Leorio gets to stare at Illumi wondering why this is his fucking life and getting Illumi to try in...slightly more normal ways. Which can lead to some chats, especially as some here on tumblr have helped established that when not on the job, and talking to someone he trusts? Illumi can go on.

Kurapika is initially wary, but I think between being incredibly obvservant, and a very dark sense of humor that would have developed while neck deep in mafia bs (he’s totally doing fine btw) there’d be some uh. Gore-y convos? Also nen discussions. Leorio eventually drags Kurapika away so the dude can have a breakdown, but even if he gets therapy, I feel like Illumi and Kurapika would also connect on arguably random things.

Also I’d note, that not only are these characters more mature/older, but they are all intensely loyal in ways both obvious and subtle. Which as HxH loves to point out narratively, can be both a character trait and a character flaw.
