Jing Yuan has about a hundred failsafe plans in the event that he becomes mara-struck to specifically ensure that Yanqing is not the one who has to deliver the killing blow because he refuses to put that burden on Yanqing like it was put on him and yet… of course it was always going to have to be Yanqing in the end

Thinking about the Anglerfish vs Canary thing again.

Anglerfish lure you in. They hold out a light, an invitation, and wait for you to come closer and take it. They give you the illusion of having a choice. Because yes, you chose this, it was your actions that led to this outcome and no one made you do it. But you were drawn in, given a false sense of security. You chose this, but would you have chosen it without the influence?

Canaries are taken in to mines to warn the humans of when its too dangerous. A canary goes silent when danger is incoming, when conditions are too dangerous. They're an early warning for danger or problems. But more than that, they're taken down there against their will. Pulled in with no choice, just a purpose.

"Canaries should stay above ground." Because they usually don't make it when they don't.

keiko, bill & lee putting monsters and the world before hiroshi to the point where it literally results in their death/presumed death and leaves hiroshi alone vs. hiroshi, when he grows up, putting monsters and the world before his children and families to the point where he's presumed dead which causes his children the same pain and suffering that he went through.

nothing hurts more than sandy confronting debbie about her abandonment issues, saying there’s always reasons people leave and that everyone in debbie’s family is sick of her and wants to leave her too, and then debbie, looking more small and helpless than she has in several seasons, looking terrified and frozen in a little kid bed surrounded by toys.

Art dump (mostly feralnette au but some of my own future au that I'm going to start writing soon!) I *really* hate the last two so when I'm not sleep deprived and can function ill redraw it :3

just noticed this parallel

if I had a nickel for every time my OTP was a chaotic bisexual who masks his pain with humour and puts his loved ones first instead of taking care of himself and a sad, poetic gay who comes from a dysfunctional family and thinks he is unloveable, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot, BUT IT IS WEIRD THAT IT HAPPENED TWICE

what killed Jason was the smoke. Catherine Todd smoked -> what killed her was the smoke too.

Sheila Haywood justified giving Jason up because she saw him closer to a soldier than a child, him being Robin. Bruce put up a memorial to Jason as a good soldier.

The only person that had ‘changed sides’ for Bruce before Jason was Two Face. Two Face killed Willis Todd.

brought to you by beautiful piece of art you should read

Icarus' reactions to the bars are just kind of sad. The first reaction is to the bars replacing the glass on the bee dome and bird area is mostly just snarky. Sure they have to go into these areas often (and going into them would probably give them a panic attack because bars trap and cage and Icarus does not liking being caged), but they also don't *have* to go into these areas in this immediate moment, they can change it back to glass or ignore it out right until quixis changes it back. So to quixis goes the "Do you like think you're funny?" Before they go into their house. Their reaction in the house is very different to their reaction outside. The glass in the house also changed to iron bars, and while they don't take note of that immediately, looking around for a moment, their eyes do eventually catch the bars. And there's a small pause before they react, a moment of realization that they're *inside* (trapped and caged and looking out at everyone else who's free to come and go as they please) before they heistate and promptly decide theyre not working on the house right then. Even as they're walking out their eyes catch the bars right near the door and they almost do a small jump. Icarus gets *scared* at the concept of being trapped like that, even if they have an open clear nice way out. Their snarky asshole "im right, youre wrong" demeanor falls away the second they're scared - the second they're trapped and reminded so clearly of *that*, the them that's still in there, shoved down under layers and layers of a carefully built facade, comes out and shines very clearly through. (Something about how things from the endstone reset keep coming back and back and *back*)

In so many words, it's always the same. We never change do we?

when i tell you that i did not intentionally mean to make ben's canon to be such a close parallel to dean, i truly mean it, but it is interesting to see it played out especially since when we are introduced to ben, he is quite literally a carbon copy of dean winchester. it makes sense that even his own fate plays out in a similar language that we see dean winchester go through.

but the main thing that i am thinking about is dean's feelings re: hell and how he can't feel like a victim without enduring the moral injury of knowing that he tortured souls, so the guilt and shame eats him alive, which prevents dean from being able to process what he has endured in hell.

in the same vein: i want to introduce you to ben's feeling regarding his own mother and her death being mirrors of dean's guilt of hell. ben can't process that he is a victim, as much as he wants to, he is stuck in an infinite loop of feeling shame and guilt regarding his mother's death because she did not have her memories, and it was his fault for bringing the shapeshifter to their front door when he re-engaged in the hunting life. he can't feel like he was wronged for having his memories erased, because the guilt of his mother's death lingers over him, therefore, stunting his ability to be able to process and heal and move on.

everything about ben is extremely dean coded, for someone who claims that he wants nothing to do with dean, while also subconsciously aiming to win his approval.

"history repeats itself" does not have to be a bad thing. The beauty of humanity is that it's repetitive, people separated by hundreds of years but still making the same food, same art, sharing the same traditions it's what makes us what we are.
