can you tell us about how Wilbur, Phil, and Kristen were like before the apocalypse?
They Vibed
Agahsg Idk how to describe it lmaooo my only experience with families are very asian
Kristin is a bit more busy than Phil, given her profession, but she still makes time to hang out with them. Breakfast and Lunch they can keep to themselves if they're busy, but there has to be at least two people at the table for dinner. Three if Kristin doesn't have to work late. Wilbur was never really into sports, but he really liked music and geography, so instead of going to see sports games and stuff, they'd take him to concerts or museums or aquariums. They were very supportive of him, and always took the chance to show him off (/lh). ("Look who it is! My favorite son!")("Mom, I'm your only son") Wilbur can't really cook well (though he's still a lot better than Phil) so for birthdays or mother/father's day, instead of making a breakfast in bed, when he was younger he'd come up to them and start singing songs he'd come up with. Phil has them recorded and uploaded to a USB drive, which they had to leave when the apocalypse came. He called it memories. Wilbur called it blackmail material. It used to be Kristin who sang the lullaby to him when he was younger, Phil making the excuse that his singing would probably do the opposite of putting him to sleep. Sometimes though, he'd carry Wilbur in his arms and start rocking him by the window, humming the lullaby. They fought sometimes but never anything they couldn't come back from. Wilbur isn't at that age yet when he has to worry about anything life changing. As he grew older, there were some things that were left in the past, like the lullaby, but that's alright. There are some things you outgrow, you can't help it. Moments in the apocalypse though, late at night, he finds himself humming the tune. Not quite remembering the words, but still feeling the rush of nostalgia and subsequent longing.

Todoroki thinks he and Izuku have been dating since the sports festival. He knows that they are not very demonstrative and there were no specific big declarations of love or official 'asking eachother out', but they didn't need that. It was obvious. There is no reason to question it and so he doesn't. He's very happy and secure in this relationship and feels very fulfilled
During 2nd year someone is talking in front of him about 'We all know Deku is in love with Bakugou. Its so obvious.'
Todoroki thinks about this for a little bit before announcing to Izuku (very casually, while they are doing homework) That its okay with him if Izuku wants to date Bakugou
Izuku: (is very moved by his best friends support and uses his encouragement to finally confess his feelings to Bakugou)
Todoroki: (now thinks he is in a poly thrupple with Izuku and Bakugou)
"but wouldnt he be able to tell once they leave school?"
NO because they are all roommates
"But wouldnt he notice Izuku doesnt kiss or have sex with todoroki but he does it with bakugou?"
NO because todoroki believes that the relationship is asexual on their side (but highly romantic and passionate) and hes cool with that.
"Wouldnt izuku notice?"
izuku has never known how normal people interact a single day in his life
"wouldnt bakugou get jealous?"
Bakugou ALSO thinks they are all poly
"why would he think that???"
because he ALSO thought todoroki and deku started dating during the sports festival
"oh so todoroki and bakugou have talked about it, thats why they are both so convinced!"
no. never. not once
"But wouldnt he notice that he sleeps alone?"
NO because todoroki is the perfect sleeping partner and he sleeps in the middle
"does Izuku ever find out?"
Yes, when hes like 25. A stranger mentions that hes well known for being in a poly thrupple and Izuku thinks they are insane. He goes home and realizes that apparently HE is the insane one and vows to never let on that he didn't know. 10 years after he started dating todoroki they finally have their first kiss. Todoroki is completely chill about it.

i also kinda think that this:
is what we all thought was vietnam. i dont think klaus or anyone goes back there. i think it might have been the literal modern day US army to stop the academy siblings.
or trying to stop ben.
unless im wrong, usually am.
the house looks like hargreeves home for wayward boys. i wonder if thats the ➡️new⬅️ academy base.
im excited for a ben central season. am a tad concerned he dies though.

im honestly very happy ira is one of if not the most beloved npc of campaign 3. and while i know most of his surface level appeal is the sheer unhinged faeishness of him, i think it fundamentally comes down to ira, despite his most un-human everything, being the most Man in his struggles as a fae can get.
as early as his intro he was set apart by past established fae, by working on technology, wearing a tattered suit. he was kicked out of the courts and the vanguard after they asked him to create their war weapons. he is a veteran of a mortal war, and got no accolades. he has spent 3 decades living in caves, taking the shittiest jobs imagineable just to get by, even torturing folk for his shit bosses again (the treshi job) because cash is cash. he knows folk will Just Die if they cant keep up and accepts it bluntly. his voice creaks with age & experience in the dust. it is easy to pin his pettiness & need for vengeance solely on the intensity of a fae til you see that he approaches even those goals with the rusty, tired caution of a man who was a spy, who understands the gravity of war, whose bosses have screwed him over so badly they made he, the nightmare king, scared.
he is a victim of the greed of the rich, easily isolated and made a scapegoat as a sole evil by them. he has lived a life with absolutely no lavish design. even artagan, whom i love with all my heart and find deep relateability in, is so disconnected with mortality at first, in large part because he was a literal fae lord. when vox machina adjusted the leylines to let artagan into exandria, ira was locked out of his home at the same time. ira has lived in the grime of the worst the fae courts and humanity has to offer, wanting to make a mark but always being a pawn hurt by a grand design. and so, while he clearly & obviously knows the difference between mortal & fae, he also knows there's really no defined line between who can hurt you worse... and how it shapes you. does your callousness begin with your fae nature, with everyone deeming you a monstrosity, or with your experience at the bottom rung? it all ends the same, regardless. i think it is fascinating to see the classism & even capitalism choking exandria and its sister realms, and ira is so fascinating because he is the primary example we have of that happening to a fae, and we get to see how that has gruffly shaped someone who could have been as utterly unphased & whimsical as a flower in the breeze.

i can fully understand the gripes with certain misogynistic tropes/writing issues that are present in the execution of some of cersei’s writing, but i will never understand the “she should have a redemption arc” or “she should be more likeable/less morally dark” perspective. that is not what her character is or has to be to make it great. wanting more female anti-heroes or “redemption arcs” with moral greyness and complexity of the level that asoiaf gives to primarily male characters is entirely understandable, but do some of you people even like cersei as a character, like at its core? like this is not about criticising the execution of certain things when it comes to this character, this is about taking issue with her as a villain fundamentally, which i just do not agree with at all

Holy shit uh. Given there's stuff about halffoots disappearing when they work with elves and she has a thing for them...not a fan of the implications
ah......... i didnt think of that (half foots specifically being known to be spirited away by elves when looking too deep into magic according to chilchuck iirc). yikes.......
when lycion says that she dumps half foot girlfriends after they turn 30, otta denies it by saying 'that's just what ended up happening due to various circumstances beyond our control!' (wording from everydayheroes scans). could human trafficking be related to this? it might be reading too much into it to think her crimes could be related but we have literally nothing else to go off of
edit: ok nevermind actually lmao went back to the profile page of the same chapter in the adventurer's bible. says 'she was a merchant before joining the canaries, and she sold a great variety of things, ranging from ancient magical artifacts to monsters and people'. so she was straight up just selling people and the half foot thing could be totally unrelated
