Can i just say I love your takes on Silver and his treatment on idw. I need to rant.
His wholesome friendship with Blaze aside, the latest issue annoyed me so much. Especially those dirty looks Lanolin and Jewel were giving him like he’s scum, as if several issues ago it wasn’t SILVER who went super, wiped out the metal virus from the world and saved their ungrateful hides.
"I expected better from you, Silver" like excuse me??? No. Uh-uh. SHUT it. He has traveled through time and saved the world so many times, you do NOT get to talk down to him like he’s an untrained puppy that just soiled the living room carpet.
And Silver just stood there and took a verbal lashing from these self righteous jerks?! Ughhh like boy you’ve fought and defeated literal gods! These sheeplings have nothing on you (pun intended) okay rant over. Sorry I’m just so annoyed I needed to get that out. I think I need to watch a Rivals 2 playthrough for catharsis.
It's exactly this. Silver is both getting mocked by the narrative anyway, and then he's also written so highly OOC he doesn't even stand up for himself. Say what you want about his characterisation in the Rivals games: that Silver would never, haha. And in no other game has Silver ever let other people walk over him like this despite being far more mellow in the 2010s. I've said it before: thank god he's out of IDW for now, as he cannot be written so badly if he's not around. Lanolin is not going to apologise or even acknowledge he was right after all anyway, I feel confident in saying. And the "I expected better from you" is rich coming from the leader of whom most members of her team, including herself, got captured and one got ALMOST SHOT THROUGH HER HEAD during her very first mission in the field. Lanolin's credentials for being a leader are in the negatives whereas Silver's heroics are endless, and that is what makes it so annoying she's calling him out like a disappointed kindergarten teacher. With Silver written as hella OOC on top who listens and immediately folds, something he would never do IC, it's even worse.
Adding to that: the whole idea that everybody seems to think Silver is unreliable, an idiot, irresponsible with his powers, and whatever other negative trait you can ascribe to him comes undone immediately when you realise Silver simply has far too many powerful feats under his belt. Feats that the other characters know of, no less! So yes, I agree it truly just makes them all ungrateful in a way. And then if the narrative puts in a million should have but did not's that ensure Silver is painted as stupidly as possible while the dramatic irony plot keeps trudging on towards the end unchallenged, it certainly does not help.

Hi I just read your story “I might be hoping about this” for the first time and it’s SO GOOD!! I love fics that explore character relations like that, and I definitely love a good, fluffy sickfic! I know you wrote it a little while ago, but I would literally do anything for a part 2. It’s so well written and I’d love to see more of that story!! Regardless, i loved it, you did a fantastic job!! <3
hiiii omg thank you so much! i know i wrote this fic just about a year and a half ago (??? insane) but for some reason i have received soooooooo so so many asks in that time wondering if i’d write a part 2 for it (another couple of asks like this are rotting in my inbox rn i am so sorry to anyone who sent one omg) and also very sorry if this answer is so super long but i just wanted to fully explain my thought process for this fic/the pt. 2 questions!!
first and foremost i’m so glad you enjoyed it! that fic was a very special one for me to write because it was my foray into established relationship, which i previously swore i’d never write (lol) and also because physical touch and acts of service are definitely how i show love in romantic relationships so it was just many thousands of words of me projecting hopelessly onto the two of them 😗 unfortunately i have never really had any plans to continue this story in a part 2 — so many people have asked for one and i hate to disappoint, but this fic has always existed in my mind as a one-parter, and i don’t think i could write a follow up without it falling flat or feeling way too repetitive :( for me personally it’s very important that i feel i’m doing justice to the story i’m writing, even if it means doing things like sacrificing a reasonable word count (stares at my 30k+ oneshots and chapter updates) for the sake of good pacing and time to flesh out scenes i think are important to include, etc. i just unfortunately don’t feel like i would be able to do this universe and story justice with a part 2, which is why i don’t think i’ll ever write one. so so sorry to disappoint but i do appreciate your dedication to the fic and i’m glad it touched you!! byler and domestic intimacy are two things that are very important to me and i do have a couple of concepts that i haven’t yet written that would definitely also explore this dynamic for them — if you can bear to stick around until i finally end up writing them LOL. thank you so much for the kind words (and so sorry to the atrociously long answer i gave for a very simple ask) 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

I know I get so blinded by Sams plot when watching spn that I often overlook deans, but do you ever think about deans s2 arc? Bc it’s batshit good.
John sells his soul for dean and dean spends the entire season suffering for it - to the point that he /explicitly/ makes the point that selling your soul for a loved one is a selfish and cruel act - only to do that to Sam. Bc Dean just cannot fathom living while Sam is dead.
and thinking about all this makes me want to start chewing drywall bc Dean KNOWS how selfish he is being here, but the idea of sacrificing yourself for someone else’s life - regardless of how much that person WOULD NOT WANT THAT - comes across as the most selfless caring thing you can do.

Admin hyperfixates on small spot of underdeveloped branches that only matters to him part 2: I think the IRS is becoming my favorite new division because there can be no cause more honorable than the preservation and discovery of knowledge and the active mobilization to combat said sources of knowledge if they prove to be dangerous to the galaxy as a whole. Wars are fought over weapons of mass-destruction, and every side is guilty of this-- only scholars and historians would know the true weight of their duty in deciding whether enlightening the world to what they discover is worth the potential risk, and I'm continually obsessed with having to battle not only others who would use said artifacts for the worst, but your own countrymen more concerned with absolute power over knowledge they have been deprived of. The back and forth struggle of a scholar in wartime and their employed agents forced to fight to protect these things at their judgment is SOOO intriguing to me. It defies the factions but also retains that sense of infighting in the Sith Empire for its well-being.
I also highly enjoy the thought of secretly working with say, the Republic or smugglers to get these relics destroyed/offworld because this fight defies all sides.
