#here have some tl;dr about it

[camels-pen]

the difference between zosopp and sanuso (romantic OR platonic) is that Usopp is Zoro's specialest little guy and Zoro is someone Usopp hangs out with and looks up to and hides behind when things get scary, but Sanji and Usopp are best friends. They horse around, they beat each other up, they confide their worst fears trying to one up each other. Usopp hides behind Sanji sometimes, sure, but idk, Sanji's weaknesses are more obvious (bugs, fighting women, etc) so there are times when Usopp has to stand in front of Sanji too, yknow?

Like, how do I say this, all the crewmates are equal- Usopp and Zoro are equals- but with Sanji it feels like more... comradery? Zoro's a rock in a terrible storm- even rocks tend to get weathered and chipped and worn down, but they overall stay strong and steady. He has trouble being vulnerable and there are times when the burden he's placed on himself to keep the crew safe is crushing his chest. Usopp would help with that and be very understanding, but the point I'm trying to get with that is that those moments are few and far between. So I feel like Usopp, especially after Water 7, would take Zoro's lead on something like that, and keep most of his worries to himself or only talk about them sparingly unless they're really bad and/or he can't hide them.

Sanji is like a tree in a storm; he can be strong, yes, but it feels like he bends and sways with the storm, and has more obvious breaking points. He can relate more to Usopp's struggles rather than resorting to blunt honesty that might border on callous like Zoro. And while, with Zosopp, I tend to think of scenarios with Zoro being blunt like that as a good thing- because sometimes when you're spiraling, it's nice to have someone say exactly what's great about you and shoot down all your worries with straight facts that you can't argue with- I can also see this as being a bad thing. Anxiety can really twist up your brain sometimes, you know? And despite the words, the tone could still mess someone up if they're already feeling like a burden on others in some way.

With Sanuso it's a lot more understanding and thoughtful words. It's distractions and comfort food and patience- the kind reserved for Usopp- until Usopp talks about whatever's troubling him. Compared to Zosopp, it doesn't take as long for Usopp to open up, since he's done the same thing to Sanji at times and it's more familiar to him to talk and commiserate with Sanji about his worries and doubts and such. However, there are times stuff like this has absolutely no effect and Sanji will end up at a loss, no idea what to do or how to help over the course of several days with Usopp being quiet and keeping his distance, and he'll end up working himself up about it which will only serve to make Usopp feel worse and. yeah. bit of a vicious cycle with them.

So it's like. Usopp can be weak with both of them, but since I see Sanji as the type of guy who'd be more open with his worries (at least compared to Zoro), there's less of a need to 'perform' and be his best self around him. He's comfortable around Zoro, yes, but he is constantly wanting to show that he won't be a problem to him. On the other hand, while he's more open with Sanji, and Sanji with him, they tend to relate a bit too much with each other and they both have issues with causing trouble for others and being 'deserving of love' so failed attempts at consoling one hurts the other and creates an unpleasant cycle of misery and avoidance before some other crewmate (Zoro) tells them to quit being stupid and just fucking talk to each other.

I'm so tired of sites self-destructing, PLEASE I am begging there to be just ONE art site that isn't a flaming pile of shit that could go down at any moment

I'm not leaving until the ship goes down, but I would like to hear potential places where people are also posting art

Personally I'm most active on Kofi and Bluesky because these are the only sites that I'm sure won't come crashing down anytime soon but god it's so tiring to have to keep rebuilding because everything turns to shit over the dumbest, most lack-of-common-decency bullshit from people who should never be in power to begin with

[randomnameless]

Something that really bothers me about the rose coloured glasses vis a vis tellius and fe fans (ESPECIALLY from 3h fans who learned about tellius later) is that many like soren purely because of his main ship (i mean i like ikesoren too but come the fuck on) and jokingly characterise soren as a stereotypical nasty mean limp wristed sarcastic gay man instead of a deeply flawed branded angry at the world and definitely trauma bonded to ike, but micaiah is still absolutely getting raked over the coals over the blood pact and not being ike’s fangirl

Well,

Jokes often involve flanderisation, so Soren being flanderised to oblivion when people joke about him isn't something I really care about, but maybe that's because I'm not really fond of Soren to begin with lol

What annoys me more is when some people try to rationalise Soren's anger and backstory by either pointing at Almedha or Deghinsea being responsible for everything, and I'm like, what.the.fuck?

Almedha's just, idk, I won't call it sexism, but damn - that woman loves her son who is the only reason why she hasn't completely lost her mind over 1/losing her powers 2/being casted away like trash by her "BF" 3/being rejected by her dad 4/thinking her brother was tortured and abused to death because of her actions 5/being separated from her beloved child.

Deghinsea being "uwu bad bcs he's the reason why brandeds are rejected by both beorcs and laguz" is another take I really am not fond of, and iirc I wrote a post earlier this year about it? But to some people who buy the "Crusts BaD" as the reason why Fodlan sucks, I guess they need to have someone to name and pill all of the world's nonsense rather than, well, in Tellius' case, realise that the worldbulding and the lore really sucks, to the point where the duology touted as the most "against racism" of the franchise, is pretty much way more racist than anything Tru Piss can throw us (yes, because in Tru Piss we have characters rejecting coexistence, in Tellius, it's the world mechanics - whenever a Beorc and a Laguz coexist too much, the Laguz dies...).

As for Miccy,

Just like, imo, Soren gains some "new" attention and "uwu excuses for why he's being a snarky jerk at times", Miccy used to be bashed when FE10 was released (with all the Mary Sue accusation being thrown around!) because she was written to be a sort of foil/antagonist to Ike, and when the party reunited, she was demoted to a "soul-jar" role, let it be regarding the greater plot, or, even, her own backstory!

TBH, for people who didn't play FE10, if Ike is the bestest thing since melted cheese, Miccy, who opposes him, must be BaD and so you can pile everything you don't like on her, hoping to see it stick.

Or even worse, I've seen posts here and there comparing Miccy to Supreme Leader and how misunderstood uwu she is, which is the worst insult poor Miccy ever received since FE10 came out rofl

[unproduciblesmackdown]

remembered that the other day i was thinking about how like, "jared & alana kind of re/connecting more in college / becoming friends then" ideas sure have a potential complication in "do they talk about tcp ever lol. jared has this secret here" where like yeah maybe the answer is "no not really," at this point post orchard it can be kind of in the past / in stasis, like maybe alana keeps the site up & all but for one thing, well, she's busy with college at the moment & maybe even other things (so many possibilities about what college looks like for alana or jared or whomever. just like in life) and also from her perspective like well jared wasn't ever That involved anyways, even if you harmonized together for two measures in a song like of course alana was focused on evan as the other co president co True Believer / Understander about the ethos of the project anyways, vs that it was fine to have jared in the background possibly, doing tech support. and she could just suppose that, even if she does suspect something Was up about everything, that maybe it's not like jared knew about that or was involved

but anyways i was like "well fuck it, what if she did also suspect jared could've known anything was up about the supposed factual premises around here. and she was mostly fine with that" (which i mean. could be true anyways. alana could sure likewise just have complicated feelings, about things beyond The Absolute Facts Of The Case, as is relevant the entire time re: anyone else. even if yeah it would also bother her. she has her own path right there to sympathizing more easily anyways in like, yeah she Was his lab partner, the facts may not be that moving, but it was still meaningful enough to her as a connection / Theoretical connection like 'well we Could've been friends?' / alana sympathizing with someone Now Never Having The Chance To Know Connor which is also evan's status or anyone else's anyways)

so further anyways i was also just thinking how like, well, there's complications in "jared can't tell the full story b/c a) he & evan are keeping this secret for themselves And each other, just unspoken across time & space & perhaps forever thusly. nbd & b) he can't tell the Full Story to anyone else anyways. goodforyou.mp3....though, see: the Handshake Gay potential element to college alana & jared friendship lol. don't need to give granular details about Realizing Things / Fun Facts of disastrous [all very heterosexual] relationship histories" but also maybe even if he is willing to give any very general acknowledgment to "Was something up with all that, do you think, do you know" type inquiries, it was like well but what if that's actually somewhat / enough of a relief to alana to get further confirmation that yeah there were some extra reasons things fell apart a bit there. Because like, otherwise, from her perspective it's like she was helming this surely noble helpful project with mostly this one other person who then stopped caring or at least responding in the same ways, and then that happened more generally with alana being mostly solo running things and then those things going to shit. where maybe having a hint that yeah, there was some other weird complications going on like problems as fundamental as [this story wasn't quite factually true was it] can be, to her, like nonzero reassurance that She Herself wasn't thee factor who like managed to be on a different page than everyone else after all & also just ruin things in whatever way b/c it was all going great until it sure wasn't

I love the idea that I'm like an Izzy "anti" (whatever the fuck that means I have a job and bills so idk) or something like that. Like I have not been crypto. I'm a fucking Loustat girlie I have more problematic blorbos than Izzy. I just don't associate with yall because I understand how the internet works, I think that a person should allowed to dunk on a character (even one they enjoy occasionally), and I was raised in an environment that placed a high value on media literacy. And as a gay man I'm sick of being condescended to by people who are wrong about what is and isn't homophobia.

I had a dream about a new eldritch beast character and I kinda like them

Given the context of the dream, they would've been a reformer of destiny or had something to do with the whole destiny thing at least, but they were disguised as a human. They were friendly, but I think they typically didn't spend much time around humans

In the dream they had befriended two people, which were tokyo horror hana and... I can't entirely say, but he was an educated person with an interest in learning more about the beast. Maybe some kind of scientist?

It basically ended with it being revealed that the beast had an illness which was similar to what we know as cancer, and then the dream took a wild and unrelated turn

Anyway the point is I kinda wanna add them (and maybe the related scientist) as a character,,,

[cancrizans]

the thing about kny that really pisses me off is like ALL of the bad writing in general but specifically how terribly nezuko’s character is handled because her role in the story ties together all my beef with this series. for every other girl you can be like “oh there was no chance/time/whatever to flesh them out” which is another can of worms but it’s at least some semblance of an excuse.

with nezuko it’s just crazy bc like. this is an anime that will dedicate 6 minutes of an already-drawn-out battle arc to hand a random one-off demon villain a sympathetic backstory and internal monologue complete with tanjirou gay smiling over them and wishing them peace in the afterlife AND YET it can’t be assed to give any of that to nezuko, despite her supposedly being a main character and also conveniently our female lead. like i don’t know how you can do that. there were like 4 episodes in a row at some point where they just straight-up did not mention her and it was like. is she fucking dead??? when she’s the reason for the shonen journey in the first place. she has no agency, no internal thought process. you could replace her with a superpowered beloved family dog and nothing would change in her character arc bc she doesn’t have one!!

the other demons can talk. they talk soooo much. but nezuko can only communicate with grunts and noises and she has no voice or say in any of this. she is tanjirou’s goal but has no goal of her own, and we rely on him to interpret for her. and we don’t even know what was lost when she turned into a demon because all we knew about her from when she was human was that she loved her family <3 which is hardly a personality trait and certainly not one anywhere near Defining. what Defines nezuko is her relationship to tanjirou, and she is not a character, but a concept. some concept of the feminine ideal in its most valuable state: a little sister but with the potential for later courtship, which we see with zenitsu (who also does not see her for who she is or who she was or who she can become, but as a cute girl who he wants to marry for Some reason. he doesn’t even know her).

i don’t think i’d be so uppity about this if she had just been relegated to damsel in distress but she’s only a damsel when it’s convenient and otherwise it’s like wow here’s miss deus ex machina coming to save tanjirou’s ass again!!! she still doesn’t have any narrative agency though. or thoughts. like the closest we get to nezuko having something that is Hers and not just some extension of tanjirou is when she realizes that her family is gone in the red light district arc and starts crying and reverts into the form of a child. and then it never deals with it after the fact and she gets shipped off Yet Again until it’s time to save tanjirou and show that’s she’s human again ^_^ and everything is hunky-dory ^_^

kny is just shoddily written in general it’s your average shonen and this extends to the characters. so none of them really hold water but it’s just so Obvious with nezuko because she is the center of the story. she is The Main Girl. the de facto mascot. she is the question and the answer. she’s right there! but the problem to me is that she isn’t really there. or at least not in execution

[dmclemblems]

I’m curious , why do dislike Sylvain /Claude; is it because of hopes /GW ?

oh nope! they were already a NOTP of mine for quite some time. it’s kind of one of those things where you’re like nah I don’t rly like this, but then over time the more you see it that feeling just grows? I don’t really consider them compatible and that was my initial feeling on it, but then I saw it get more and more popular and it was more and more frequently on my Twitter tl so I was exposed to more of it which had me thinking more often about why I wasn’t into it.

it’s kinda like, the more you see something and feel like you can’t avoid it, the more you dislike it when you already didn’t like it? I wouldn’t say it was literally shoved in my face since it was on my tl, it’s just kind of that vibe and it makes you like something less and less.

my original thoughts on it were that they wouldn’t work because Sylvain flirts and gets with people completely unattached. while it’s usually a thing with women, he drags that concern into his conversations with other people, like Felix, who take large issue with it and get upset/offended by it (and you could even argue that Felix has feelings for him, thus gets upset/offended when Sylvain won’t stop talking about picking up girls in front of him, thus leading him to become confrontational toward Sylvain so often).

I see Claude as someone who needs someone attached and who isn’t so loose toward relationships. to me he needs someone committed to him but also someone who can respect his boundaries that are caused by literal grown up with trauma. it’s pretty canon-set that Sylvain is only particularly loyal to his group of friends (not even really his own family, by which I mean father, mother, brother all, and ironically seems most sympathetic toward Miklan over the other two even in Houses), and he’s more interested in flings outside of his group of friends..

that’s not to say I think Sylvain is scum for that behavior because I do understand it and I understand why he behaves that way. I just don’t think his behavior would work with someone who needs a deeper connection and needs  relationship with security outside of his immediate friend group (i.e. he provides that for those people but not really anyone else). I’m sure there are fic writers who will write it that way for their own fics and that’s fine! when I start to like or dislike ships it’s just usually based on canon material and goes from there, with a few exceptions that start as crackships or discussions on possibilities through their canon selves, but the latter two I admit to when I express enjoyment of those ships.

if nothing else I feel like Hopes just kinda cemented it for me in seeing how much hatred Sylvain had for what was happening, because to me it says a lot that he feels that way. Sreng invades basically on the regular but he’s trying desperately to form peace with them and has no general hatred for them. he’s even on mutually joking terms with the commander we fight against in AG, but he expresses such a deep hatred for Claude/the Alliance (and I specify Claude bc it was essentially caused by his ideas, which were frequently met with disagreement and distaste by people in his immediate friend group and throughout his army, so the bulk of the issue falls to Claude). he’s not really on aggressive terms with Sreng. at the point we see, it looks more like Sylvain and Sreng, or at least the commander, are nearly identical to Holst and Nader. they fight over and over because their countries are always fighting, but they’re so used to each other that it almost feels like it’s just them sparring because the mood is too light to seem like an invasion. Sylvain has very little if any ill will toward Sreng, and yet... when it comes to the events in GW, it sounds to me like he might never, and probably won’t tbh, ever forgive what happened.

for me they seem so fundamentally incompatible. in GW, they basically turn up Claude’s “any means necessary” to eleven. basically, he’s willing to do shady things to do what he wants even if it makes him uncomfortable or he doesn’t really want to do it. Sylvain on the other hand is much more chivalrous (haha a whole Faerghus surprise right there, chivalry) and literally deathly loyal to his friends and will very literally die for them. Claude wouldn’t, in this timeline (or early into Houses) die for another person. again referencing Felix and Sylvain’s supports bc apparently Felix is good fodder to describe this lol, Felix gets angry that Sylvain does this regularly and carelessly. He hates that he doesn’t value his own life, but also that he’s prepared to die for others at all times and then just not be there anymore. I don’t think Sylvain could tolerate being with someone that would choose themselves over the people most important to them, which at a point in his life, Claude would have (maybe not late VW, say, but earlier on he would have, especially out of even just pure instinct from his childhood).

I don’t think under normal circumstances like in Houses that they’d outright hate each other, but I just don’t think they’re people who could find romance and stick with it. I don’t feel like their personalities would enable them to feel like they have a secure love or relationship.

for some reason there’s also just kind of this ick factor in it for me and idk why/what causes that. aside from the aspects of why I can’t really ship them myself, it’s kinda like, there’s that but also this weird feeling of “I really don’t like this when I see it” kind of thing? sort of like something you never liked but never totally knew why? in this case I know why I don’t like it, but I don’t know exactly where that ick feeling comes from that brings it into dislike territory. tbh I’ve always found it rly weird myself that I have such a strong dislike toward it. maybe there’s something within my reasons for not liking it that I fundamentally disagree with that makes the reaction negative. 

okay this might sound hella weird but hear me out

you ever looked at someone back in your school days if you’re no longer in school, or if you’re still in school have you ever looked at someone and just went “i do not like that person” THAT’S KINDA WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE NOW JFKSHGJGS like aside my actual reasons for “I can’t see this working”, I totally feel that in a passive way when I see the ship? it’s... a wild thing. I get where people are generally coming from who do ship it, but I guess it’s not my thing?

im sorry this was so long shfjsghjk

TL;DR: Steam just made library sharing so much fucking easier and so much fucking better. Instead of login-trading, it's just a simple goddamn invite.

Read this. Really. It's a good read. Because it shows that, full-stop, Valve isn't just doubling down on their stance to make sure that people can and should be able to share their copies of digital goods as easily as they can physical ones, but they're making it better and easier than ever.

But you know how Steam allowed you to, with either friends or family, link accounts with another person to be able to establish an ability to share game libraries with one another? The general gist of Steam Family Sharing was that, with a limit of five people plus you (six in total) on a limit of ten computers total could share account access to willingly mix your libraries. You could play theirs. They could play yours.

This was a huge boon. It was meant to emulate sharing a physical copy of a game. A way to allow children to play games their parents or siblings had bought without having to fork over double the cash to buy it a second game. But it had some major limitations and drawbacks, and was archaic to use.

If a person did not share the same computer, you had to manually log into that computer to give it and the accounts on it access. This wouldn't be a problem if both accounts were used on the same computer, but many households (and astronomically more family and friend groups) had multiple computers, all used by different people.

If that computer, at any point, was hard reset to any point before the sharing occurred, you lost access. And had to do the whole process again. This was also an issue with computer transfers. The whole kit and kaboodle needed to be redone on upgrades. On top of that, the old computer is now just dead weight that you may not realize you have to manually revoke access to.

Putting your account information on another person's computer opens up security issues. They could, intentionally or accidentally, land themselves on your account if the login information was stored. Which could easily lead to purchases or bans you did not want to happen.

If anyone was, at any point, playing any game on their own library, you had no access to their games. Even if it was a totally different game, you had to wait your turn as if waiting for their computer to be freed up to sit at. (Admittedly this is kind of like the "mom said it's my turn on the xbox" meme, but hey, kinda archaic.)

You could not choose whose library you accessed a game from. Not at all. It always prioritized the first library it gained access from, DLC access and multiplayer be damned. If another friend you were accepting games from had more DLC? Too bad.

And yet here we are. Steam Families Beta fixes EVERYTHING about the above issues. By just going through Settings > Interface > client Beta Participation and clicking onto Steam Families Beta? You get:

No more login sharing. No more computer links. You can now choose which person's library you borrowed from. And you can play any other game from someone's library, even while they're in-game. It just needs to be a different game than what they're playing.

Pick five people. Invite them to your family. And now everyone has access to everyone's library. My goddamn library went from 150-ish to almost a goddamn thousand in ten minutes of setup.

Account sharing and password sharing are dirty words that "lose" billions of dollars. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Max. They aren't game storefronts, but they still allow you to access massive libraries and scream like you murdered their firstborns for daring to share your password with your mother after you moved out.

Microsoft tried pushing to demonize and undercut used games sales and borrowed copies of physical games. Remember the first attempt to reveal the Xbox One? People forget, but these vultures tried to make an always online console that checked to see if you were the account that owned the game, even if you had a physical disc, and prevent access to the disc's contents if you weren't the original downloader.

Valve walked the fuck up. Valve tapped the mic. And Valve dropped the fucking thing right onto the ground with one feature's revamp.

About the only issues I can see with this are twofold:

If someone sharing your library gets banned from a game's servers... so do you. No one else in the family does, but the both of you do. This is... rather unpleasant, because banhammers can be dropped quite frequently by mistake. I'd urge Valve to rethink this one, but I see the logic: don't cheat and effectively bite the hand feeding you. Still making me side-eye that, though.

If you leave a family you've joined? You have to wait a YEAR to join a new one. It's to prevent people form jumping ship to another group and screwing over who's in the former one in the process, but a YEAR? OUCH.

Problems aside, though... it's probably the biggest fucking power move I have ever seen a media distributor make in the current economic climate. It's the kind of thing that would let so many new games be available in a way that's easier than ever. Just a few clicks to send or accept an invite, and bam. Permanent access to dozens or even hundreds of new games with so much more freedom than earlier drafts of the system.

It's the kind of thing that slaps you in the face with positivity after so many Ls from the games and media industries. And I'm all the fuck for a W like this.

[aparticularbandit]

Okay - Finding Family overview for those of you who haven't read it and don't want to read over 300k of longfic for all the context for the other oneshots and/or the sequel (if I get back to that, which feels a bit more likely given clarification from the newest oneshot) is below the cut. (Because maybe you want to read it and don't want spoilers, idk.)

Finding Family had five parts. and a Holiday Special that went between the fourth and fifth parts.

Primary Wanda/Earth is Earth-616. The Earth visited in DSMOM with the other Wanda is Earth-838.

General TL;DR is thus:

Part One:

America wants to find her moms. She does not have enough control of her power to find her moms. She decides to get better by practicing with the golden portal power she was learning at Kamar Taj. She goes globe hopping. She finds Wanda.

Wanda is depressed. Wanda is very depressed. Wanda is the MOST depressed, and considering all of DSMOM and her blatant suicide attempt at the end, this should come as a surprise to NO ONE.

Wanda is still definitely dreaming of other selves across the multiverse as DSMOM says all dreams are. (FF says otherwise, but we'll get to that later.)

America also universe hops sometimes and runs into another Wanda with Billy and Tommy (and Agatha) who does not suck and tells her to go be friends with 616!Wanda. (And also tells her not to tell Agatha that she's a universe hopper because that would be bad, but doesn't explain why that would be bad.)

America has a strong sense of being alone sucks so she goes to be friends with Wanda, and Wanda steals her hot chocolate.

Part Two:

America and Wanda keep meeting. Wanda is still super depressed and doesn't want to meet half the time, but America is persistent. Knowing that someone is coming to visit makes Wanda actually, you know, take a bath sometimes. And get up the gumption to clean the house, even though she doesn't let America inside. This kind of helps. Sort of.

Wanda finds out that America's teaching at Kamar Taj doesn't include historical events that she should know about. LIKE THE SNAP.

Wanda goes and has a very nice chat with Wong. (Please read this with the sarcasm it deserves.)

America moves in with Clint Barton. (Who already has Kate Bishop living with him.)

Wanda finally gives America hot chocolate! Growth!

Part Three:

Wong and Wanda both have dreams about Earth-838. 838!Wanda is facing some, ah, consequences for killing the Illuminati, which was...actually 616!Wanda dreamwalking, but 838!Wanda is still seen as a threat. She asks 616!Wanda to go save Billy and Tommy (her sons).

America has continued universe-hopping to try and find her moms. She hasn't found them but has found a nice tree world, and when Wong and Wanda ask her to open a portal back to Earth-838, she runs there instead.

America has her first nightmare! Because sometimes dreams are your mind's way of making sense of stuff that happens in real life and aren't just glimpses into the life of another version of you in the multiverse. America has nightmares of the Scarlet Witch! BECAUSE SHE HAS PTSD OBVIOUSLY. YOU DON'T JUST DSMOM AND BE COMPLETELY UNSCATHED.

America meets a baby!Wanda and Pietro (and another sister) in tree world being raised by parents Magda and Erik. Baby!Wanda also has nightmares and panic attacks and panic attacks from nightmares. She and her mom teach America some grounding methods.

America goes back to Earth-616 and agrees to open a portal to let Wanda and Wong into Earth-838 to save Billy and Tommy. The plan is to open another portal later to let them back in.

While on Earth-838, Wanda decides to save 838!Wanda, too. For reasons.

America and Kate get tired of waiting and go to help Wanda and Wong.

They all fight with the new Illuminati, who decide not to kill 616!Wanda or 838!Wanda. Mordo dies. Wong, Kate, America, 838!Wanda, Billy, Tommy, and 616!Wanda all escape to the tree world.

Wanda says she's America's mom and America gets BIG MAD.

The gang goes back to Earth-616 and Clint's house. America is still BIG MAD, so Wanda goes to talk with her. Realizing that there's some undiscussed all the trauma, Wanda provokes America further and America beats the shit out of her and then runs away to another universe.

616!Wanda and 838!Wanda decide to call themselves Scarlet and Ash, respectively, so that no one gets confused by having the same name. (616!Wanda takes her name from one of Kate's friends, who had been a fan of hers and ended up dying in a superhero event because she was trying to find info on her.)

Ash mentions (in narrative, not to anyone specific) that she had something she wanted to talk to America about. OH WELL.

Part Four:

Ash forgives Scarlet for the events of DSMOM and wants her to forgive herself.

Ash, Scarlet, Billy, and Tommy move back to Scarlet's cabin in Sokovia, which Scarlet expands to be big enough for all of them.

America does a lot of universe hopping. Every time she goes to a new universe, she runs into another Wanda. She hates it. She hates Wanda. She wants nothing to do with Wanda. So she keeps running.

America eventually ends up in a universe where she doesn't immediately run into Wanda. She stays there for a bit and finds a super cool girl about her age who is trying to save her from an Ultron bot. America says she could TOTALLY take out the Ultron bot, and the girl dares her to do it, so America does. The girl introduces herself as Wendy. Wendy is...another Wanda variant. But by this point, America is kind of attached, so she stays.

Wendy takes America to a bubbled off piece of the world that she calls Neverland. She says that her bestie Pixie maintains it and introduces America to Pixie (Agatha Stephen Harkness) and Pan (Pietro - Peter) and her Lost Ones.

America stays in Neverland for a while. Wendy is a cool storyteller. Pixie and America both have trouble with nightmares, and Wendy helps America feel better after hers when she isn't helping Pixie (who usually just wakes up and goes for a very long walk). Pixie reveals that the Neverland bubble keeps them all from aging but that if they leave the bubble, they'll age super quick. She reveals that she's doing this partially through the use of a Time Stone.

America and Wendy fall in love. America finds this awkward because Wendy is a Wanda variant. But Wendy isn't Wanda. It's complicated.

Ultron attacks. America finds Wendy. Pan dies saving Wendy. Pixie tells America that Neverland is going to go down and she needs to get Wendy out. America drags Wendy through a portal into Earth-616 and Pixie sends the Time Stone with them. Pixie blows up Ultron after they're gone.

America and Wendy end up at Scarlet's house. Scarlet can very much tell that Wendy is a variant of her (and also finds the Time Stone before America or Wendy realize that it came through with them). She catches America and Wendy kisses and gets BIG MAD and takes America's mouth, sends her to Clint's, and then keeps Wendy with her.

Scarlet and Wendy have a nice talk and Wendy calms down and decides to stay with her. Wong gets BIG MAD about Scarlet taking America's mouth, but she tells him what happened and he gets it. America gets her mouth back a few hours later. Scarlet convinces Wong to let her use the library at Kamar Taj so that she can teach Wendy magic better - and so that she can learn magic better herself.

As Scarlet connects with the Time Stone, she stops dreaming about herself in other universes.

Scarlet ends up finding stuff on the Time Stone and uses it to go back in time. She meets the Ancient One, who tells her a lot of very complicated multiverse/time stuff that basically boil down to "you don't know which version of you you'll end up being; do you want to be the you that gets stuck in a time loop, or do you want to be the you who accepts the good that you have?"

Scarlet breaks the fourth wall.

Scarlet accepts the family she has.

Previously, America's moms saved a Wanda on an entirely different multiverse. They sent that memory as a dream through every Wanda across the multiverse that they could (similar to how Scarlet destroyed the Darkhold across a lot of universes - not all as the MCU suggests, but that's...another story). Scarlet and Ash have both had that dream, and using the Time Stone and America's powers, they help America open a portal to get to her moms.

Part Five:

America learns that her moms did some super shady things to get her to find them, particularly by how they used the Wanda of their universe that they adopted.

America burns out her powers and begins to dream of herself in other universes. She learns that there are other hers; her moms theorize that the reason she normally can't dream them has more to do with keeping her from making decisions to change her future based on what she dreams - something something crossing the streams. Etc.

Scarlet is confronted by White Vision (who may or may not have briefly shown up back in Part Two. Debatable). White Vision has been looking for the Scarlet Witch to bring her to justice for the events of DSMOM. However, he cannot tell whether Scarlet, Ash, or Wendy is the Scarlet Witch he is looking for. Scarlet convinces him to come back later, saying that she can maybe convince the Scarlet Witch to give herself up. She also reaches into his mind and finds that it's all sorts of staticky and frazzled - Vision might have reconnected White Vision's memories, but there are some issues.

If Scarlet dies, then any non-permanent magic that she has going in perpetuity will die with her. AKA if Scarlet dies, Agatha gets released from Agnes. Scarlet decides to trap Agatha at her house while she figures out what to do with her and basically convinces Ash to help her wipe Agatha's memories so that she can be truly Agnes - and to have Ash set the spell so that it doesn't die if Scarlet does. Ash is not happy about the arrangement but defers to Scarlet. (She tells Scarlet that she never really met the Agatha of 838 - the Ancient One sent her and Stephen to find her at one point, but when they got there, she was dead. Very dead.)

Scarlet goes to get Agnes. Agnes's life has sucked. Agatha has Stockholm Syndrome and has grown attached to Agnes, who deserves better. So much better. Scarlet brings Agnes back to her house to the special room she has set for Agatha, and when Agatha goes inside, the Agnes spell drops. Agatha accuses Scarlet of killing Agnes.

Wendy is not told about Agatha. Wendy has always been good about figuring out when people are having nightmares. Wendy realizes someone in the house is having nightmares and walks through the wall to where Agatha's suite is and meets Agatha. She names her Hook.

Scarlet has been teaching Wendy magic but isn't great about it. Agatha is significantly better at teaching Wendy magic, even though Agatha doesn't have access to magic herself. Wendy and Agatha become friends! Scarlet finds out that Agatha has some horrible bad scars all over her back. It's awkward. Ash doesn't hate Agatha because she hasn't been given any reason to hate her.

Previously, Kate told Wendy that if Wendy could get to her, they could go hang out in New York for a bit. (This may have happened in the Holiday Special? Maybe?) Wendy finds the Time Stone where Scarlet has hidden it and decides to take it with her. She convinces Agatha to go to New York with them because she's besties with Agatha now. Agatha gets her magic back but does no bad things!

Agatha gives Kate and Wendy a place to stay in New York, but literally the next day, they get attacked by an Agatha from another universe - an Agatha who has Wanda's and America's powers and is looking for the Time Stone. She has seen the Time Stone through 616!Agatha, who noticed that Wendy had it. The evil Agatha wants the Time Stone so she can get the Darkhold back. America shows up, because her powers are back, and beats the evil Agatha into another universe. They both disappear. 616!Agatha, Wendy, and Kate go back to Scarlet's place.

Scarlet is BIG MAD with Agatha because magic, but Agatha points out she doesn't have her magic in Scarlet's house and she willing went back. Scarlet takes Agatha upstairs to have a private conversation with her. Agatha provokes her into beating the shit out of her, but because both of them are aware that Wendy will be BIG MAD if Scarlet actually hurts Agatha, Scarlet heals her afterwards.

Scarlet heals the scars all over Agatha's back. Agatha gives her a massage. They do some making out.

Evil!Agatha shows up with America's body but can't get through because Scarlet set up a protective shield. Ash takes Billy and Tommy to Clint's because maybe they shouldn't be here for the big fight. Agatha comes up with a plan and convinces Wendy to help so that they can get America back. Wendy agrees, America gets pulled through the bubble, and Agatha uses the Time Stone to go back in time.

Agatha does a handful of things in the past, including finding Agnes and placing a sort of protective bubble around her so that she doesn't die when Scarlet takes her to her house. Then she hides with the Time Stone in the basement beneath what will eventually be Scarlet's cabin in Sokovia, a basement that won't be revealed until evil!Agatha gets beaten.

Wendy thinks America is dead and goes full-blown Scarlet Witch. She, Kate, and Scarlet - together with a third Agatha who shows up with a baby!America - kill evil!Agatha. America gets better pretty much immediately.

Ash and Scarlet talk with the new Agatha, who is a vigilante going across the multiverse to kill all of the evil Agatha variants. She killed the Agatha of Earth-838 and has come to kill the Agatha of Earth-616.

Wendy and America find the basement. Wendy turns Agatha back into Agnes and using the same technique Scarlet and Ash used to get America to her moms, she forces America to open a portal back to Neverland and disappears.

Scarlet changes Agatha back and tells the vigilante!Agatha that if 616!Agatha helps them with Wendy, she'll redeem herself and not have to die.

Scarlet, Agatha, and America go to Neverland. They find that Wendy has gone back in time to when Neverland was first created and basically made a worldwide Neverland hex and maintained it for two years. America finds Wendy, who is exhausted but can't let herself stop. America stabs Wendy, and then the gang goes back to Earth-616.

Scarlet heals Wendy, but Wendy won't wake up. Scarlet and Ash mindwipe vigilante!Agatha and send her back to her own universe. America then sends baby!America to go live with her moms.

Wendy stays in a coma for a very long time. (Except she's not. She's just pretending.)

Scarlet tries to sleep with Agatha before White Vision gets there, and Agatha calls her out as just using her to want to die more, to increase her own self-loathing.

White Vision shows up. Agatha fixes his brain. He decides not to kill Scarlet because she's gotten better and is getting better.

Wendy creates a body for Agnes and moves her from Agatha's head into the new body.

America forgives Wendy, and they're still together.

Love triangle shenanigans with Scarlet, Agatha, and Agnes. Scarlet and Agatha get together. Agnes is very, very hurt and still deserves better. Ash comforts her.

America asks Agatha to help her with her power the way she helped Wendy with her magic. Agatha agrees.

America opens a portal to the universe that evil!Agatha came from. Their Wanda is dead, but Billy and Tommy are still alive. Billy and Tommy from that universe move to Earth-616 - Scarlet gets her boys again! ...sort of - and Ash, Agnes, and Ash's Billy and Tommy move to their universe.

Agatha leaves because wanderlust but plans to come back every now and again. Stephen visits to ask Scarlet to join his new not Avengers team, and she says no because Billy and Tommy. Wendy and America join instead.

Wendy, America, Wanda, and Agatha (along with Billy and Tommy) are now one big complicated family. But they're family.
