OUT OF TIME

[canisalbus]

I really appriciate how often Machete is depicted struggling and feeling like a burden, while still being loved and supported by Vasco. It gives the top tier angst of "i'm not good enough, I'm not worth it" but you frame it in such a way where it's clear that's just how he *feels* and is not how things really are, but also it's so nice to see someone who struggles quite often in a loving and unique relationship that suits them. The narrative of not being able to love or be loved unless you're consistently healthy is really tiring lol.

Heavy is The Hand that raised you

Madman's rambling about colors and sticks under the cut.

Since I've posted that Watermelon Red 2 days ago and find it really cute, it got me thinking.

What if born sticks got more than their parents mix color?

So here's Purple with pink iris from his mom and his hair turning dark blue the more it grows.

Yeah, sure why not.

Another thought came to mind.

What about the hollow heads?

And my mind churned up an image of the hollow heads with stick!Alan's purple in their hair.

Chosen and victim would have lighter purple because he doesn't have a deep connection to them, with Chosen being created as a plaything and victim as a mistake.

Orange and Dark would have deeper purple. With Orange, even though he was created by accident, he was a happy accident. In ava episode 4 when Orange drew his backup to fight Alan, the scribbles were Alan's scribbles too. Alan saw a part of him in this Orange stick figure and decided that yeah, he'll keep this one. And if YouTube comments are to be believed, the color orange is his favourite color.

With Dark on the other hand, his purple is deep because he was supposed to be Alan's partner. Dark is the only stick figure that he created his extension, his right hand man. Alan would be the judge and the jury while TDL is the executioner. He'd had enough of The Chosen One and he wanted him gone from his PC, and so The Dark Lord came to be. But Alan let his guard down, confident that Dark would finish the job, he never anticipated Chosen would paint his confidence in Dark's ability with indifference, thus successfully turning TDL against their creator.

I have more thoughts about TDL but this shit is getting longer and am getting real hungry and this whole thing just came to be because I wanted Purple angst where, whenever he looks at the mirror, he'll be reminded of the mother he lost and the father who abandoned him ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

“Gimli was lifted up [onto the horse] behind his friend, and he clung to [Legolas], not much more at ease than Sam Gamgee in a boat.”

-The Two Towers pg. 35

Friendly reminder that the one time Gimli got onto a horse for the first time and hated it so much that he was compared to Sam in a boat, who had multiple paragraphs dedicated to how much he hated boats.

When the whole team is losing it so you make an intervention about "People who are hurting hurt others", but one only understands the "People who are hurting" part and the other only cares about the "hurt others" part......

(Putting the pencil ones under the cut because I like them more tbh)

I really like how StarClan is depicted in your rewrite. In one of the field guides, it’s stated that StarClan are not that much wiser than the living cats, and that all they have to guide them is visions of the future, which they can only warn the living cats about. Besides the first arc, I think that’s my favorite depiction of StarClan because it allows them nuance. However, I think your version does improve on that concept by actually implementing it and showing that the Dark Forest and StarClan have ideals that change over time, much like the world of the living. Anyways, keep up the good work!

I feel like canon StarClan is such a waffling, wasted opportunity. It's like the writers are so afraid of unpacking their religious biases that they can't say anything meaningful

StarClan has to control nothing at all because Cat Free Will, but also be a powerful entity that can physically interact with the mortal plane through fighting demons or possessing people

They have to both be wise, prophetic ancestors, but also no smarter than the living cats.

They must be the moral tether preventing the Clan cats from becoming godless heathens, but no more good and kind than a living cat. Bonus points for TBC where StarClan's Love literally burned through Ashfur's Spooky Evil Magic Vines Of Hatred or whatever.

It reminds me a lot of the bitter flavor of protestant Christianity I grew up around, and all the contradictions the adults in my live believed but couldn't articulate. So that's what BB!StarClan is, really. Angels dressed up as god, just as powerful as the living believe they are. Still loving, but prone to anger and self-righteousness. Young, flawed dieties whose sum is greater than its parts.

I'm fascinated by what StarClan could be, in this way.

The neverland kisnapping AU?

anon this beast is EXTREMELY SELF-INDULGENT and i made it purely and 100% because peter pan has been a fixation of mine since i was a little sprog (specifically the 2003 version with jason isaacs as hook)

TL;DR baz and his siblings are awayed in the night by a sinister faerie creature known as peter pan, who baz finds out has been doing away with the lost boys when they get too old to play his games anymore.

(extra dangerousTM because baz discovers that not only can he be injured like a normal person here, but if you die in never-never-land you DO die in real life)

also finds out that captain hook used to be pan's right-hand playmate as a child and has been rescuing pan's castoffs to try to fight back, the guy takes baz under his wing and teaches him to swordfight. that coat is the one hook was wearing when pan maimed him, and he gave it to baz because it was the only thing he had on hand that would fit a teenager.

"Didst thou ever want to be a pirate, me hearty?"

bonus content when baz gets back to watford simon has a minor crisis about him looking all scarred up and adventurous and rugged
