#i am the captain of my soul.

[recurring-polynya]

It has been 14 hours since I found out that, according to Kubo, Byakuya calls Renji by his given name "because Rukia does" and I am obsessed with this information.

This is both the best and worst possible answer to this question. I feel like if you asked Byakuya, this is exactly the reason he would give. However, if Rukia were present, she would lose her damn mind. While I do think Rukia's assertion that Byakuya didn't look at her even once in 40 years is hyperbole, over that time I can imagine Renji's name coming up in conversation once, maybe twice tops.

Like, two weeks before she goes on her fateful mission to the Living World, B's been shortlisting Vice-Captain candidates, and over dinner, real casual:

B: Rukia. You know your friend?

Rukia: My who now?

B: That friend of yours who shouts too much. The boorishly tall one. With the red hair. Is he in Squad Eleven now?

Rukia (wracking her brain frantically for people Byakuya would consider 'her friend'): You mean Renji?

B: Yes, him.

Rukia: What about him?

B: Is he in Squad Eleven? The Sixth Seat?

Rukia: ...maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The next day, Byakuya's office, Renji shows up for his job interview.

B: You must be Renji.

Renji: uhhhhhhhh sure why not?

Someone confiscate the Kabumisu Rapunzel AU from me, I am not starting a long form anything until my DPxDC novel is done but also I am ONLY capable of doing it wrong

Because:

Kabru MUST be Rapunzel. Mandatory. Milsiril is not letting that little bitch out of her tower. (Also his Main Character Energy)

Mithrun has less than zero drive to do anything ever up to and including wandering around in lonely tower infested woods to find said lost princess

These can only be resolved by Mithrun also already being inside the tower and then we’re into Beauty and The Beast territory too with the Forbidden Room but instead of Cursed Flower there is Cursed Hottie

Tbh Labrumisu would solve this problem where’s my threesome shippers we need ONE (1) character with some goddamn initiative

(Sadly still can’t be me I do not ship Laios in general he’s just not got that Ship Juice)

Milsiril just has such perfect villain vibes and okay I’m selling myself on the Labrumisu because if Laios comes in to kidnap one of her babies (and her broken former coworker) there’s a 50-50 on whether Milsiril just decides he’s young enough to adopt

This is now a main character hoarding situation Falin and Marcille have to come rescue Laios and also his boyfriends from the crazy sword elf and her army of dolls

Which is why I can’t write this one.

Look at that.

Look what happened in like 5 bullet points.

The rails have been OBLITERATED but also it’s just got such good legs someone take this idea and run with it to somewhere very different and much simpler than I am capable of

what if the bad batch ends with crosshair and omega. what if hunter sacrifices himself for them, and they lose tech and wrecker along the way. what if echo is the reason why rex loses his will to fight and hides with gregor and wolffe. what if crosshair’s turning point is the death of his brothers, or cody, and he realizes that all he has left of cf99 is omega. what if he’s the last one and he dies saving omega.

Interestingly, Colin summarized the relationship between Merlin and Morgana in a bittersweet way. He said Morgana was the love Merlin could never have.

“Morgana was the love Merlin could never have.”

“It was a little too flirty wasn’t it?”

“Between Merlin as himself and Morgana there’s such a history there — it’s everything from the betrayal of hope, of love, of friendship. It’s very, very complicated”

“There is no more love between them anymore.”

“They aren't two peas in a pod. Well, maybe they were but Morgana was the bad pea that rolled away.”

“(On merlin and morgana falling in love) Together? Them? Yeah yeah that would be interesting.”

“Merlin would totally be into it (hooking up with Morgana.)”

On their rapport as actors:

“I…I think hugely. It’s a…It’s a brilliant transition, when you think of how…um…a huge amount of it is the work Katie has done on that, I think she’s really changed Morgana. She does it in a really heart-felt way sometimes I think, you know, It's not…it’s not just evil villain”

“That’s what I’m saying about Katie, we see so many levels in her.”

“Katie’s hovel is awesome!”

“Her sword action is really good! It’s really good!”

"Good thing she brings a lot of tea from back home so I don’t really get homesick much.”

"I can do English accent but if I’m with Katie and other Irish actors, I slip back to my accent.”

Etc. Etc.

“Everybody that Merlin loves dies.”

They wanted it. Colin Morgan wanted it.

Feeling like completely revamping my Spidersona lore. Specifically the dimension that he lives in, I think its time I went wild and really lean into the whole demon thing

I’m so nervous for this tire test lmao but I just know Daniel has been dying to show what he’s got so am really excited for him too. It’s all in his hands now in the best possible way. (Insert something something Invictus poem here). Go get ‘em Daniel

the fact that he himself has drawn parallel between this test and the test he did in 2013 that got him the red bull seat the first time around, i just KNOW he's more than ready to get back on the track and remind everyone exactly who the fuck he is and what the fuck he can do
