So I was musing to Mags about how somehow in the last few years, after being weirdly unapproachable (and really awkward with children) all my life, I am now often the person that single mothers will approach to take a family photo for them, or small children will abruptly hand their toys off to with no warning.
And then I realized (after a moment, because I rarely get to go out around people anymore except when my dad abducts me for a tiny vacation, so I don't have a lot of normal life to compare that to) that all those experiences actually happened in museums and aquariums and zoos, where I am not more outgoing but I am much brighter and smiling more than usual and almost always sharing random facts with my dad because infodumping is my love language...
And then I realized these people are approaching me because when I am in that specific environment, I am giving off very chill Ms. Frizzle vibes.
ok but im rly into the idea of till having a new era that brings the light back to his eyes and drives him forward if he gets to escape the arena. idk where he'd go from there but i want to see ivans sacrifice both haunt him and drive him to actually live his damn life after being the captured bird refusing freedom cause of mizi. once he knows she's alive with the resistance he might be able to actually experience other things and widen his world and if that happens and he puts his personal sense of rebellion towards the human cause OR settles into finding some other way to feel fulfilment that isn't a single person that could be deeply fascinating to me i think
i know AM's hate monologue is memed a lot on here but i think you guys need to be aware of the fact that AM not only has more lines, he is voiced by Harlan Ellison himself and also makes himself completely and utterly insufferable throughout the entirety of the I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream 1995 video game
Fuck I’m fully invested in this au now. Baby Sam naming Azazel the first time he ever meets him (disguised as a clerk in the grocery store) because Lucifer sees [his true face] and immediately warns Sam (knowledge is power & Sam deserves power) — freaking the fuck out of John and Azazel both.
I loved the eye colour switch because it shows an irreversible change, and part of me wonders if Anakin settles down and enjoys his new role after only a few days because he's fundamentally not human anymore. He's changed and his human ties can't survive it however much they meant to him. God Anakin is happy but human Anakin may have wept.
I like to believe Padme ended up making Anakin a cult figure by building statues and temples to her lost love. Obi-Wan might have made him immortal but Padme makes him a figure of worship. But anytime she tries to put herself next to him in images or statue her image doesn't survive for some reason, and she can't even be with him in representation. Anakins story might be remembered but the woman who made sure he was remembered might not be...
(the ganymede ficlet)
ah this is some top tier analysis on anakin's humanity--i feel like he takes to godhood super well because of the sort of life he led while human. he was brutal and violent and known to take no prisoners. his loyalty was to the gods first and then to his almost wife, and he cared for few besides his innermost circle.
(and i think obi-wan king of the gods really really liked that about him, enough that he couldn't watch him give his loyalty away. he needed it all.)
so i think that all relates to how easily anakin settles into godhood and his new life. i think when he's upset, he's selfishly upset about obi-wan's actions. he doesn't remember to be concerned with his almost-wife or anyone else for a bit and then when he does...i love what you said, that he's not human anymore so it's harder for him to care. but i think there were parts of him who were never that human, so the transition is that much easier.
also i like the idea that everything feels different as a god. sex with padmé as a human may have been good, but sex with the king of the gods just blows everything else out of the water. being so horny and satisfied, never cold or hungry, relaxing under the heavy, overwhelming attention from kenobi himself....it's an easy existence to get used to
hate that thing tumblr app does now where trying to post a post with no tags brings up a prompt to add some tags to ‘help people find your post’ and i really hate that it even pops up when you try to save a post to your drafts. like girl its a draft. no one is finding it in there. i might not even find it to be honest
You know how in the 2015 show Piggy says she grew up on a farm, and there are further hints in the show that lean towards her possibly not having the greatest of upbringings amongst her dozens of younger siblings?
What if miss Poggy was one of Piggy’s younger siblings? Maybe her twin?? I think it’d make sense from a naming stand point cuz Deadly, in the 2015 show, “You are aware your name is Miss Piggy?” to Piggy, so Piggy being a twin and having her sister be called Poggy works!
It’d also be interesting to explore the idea of Piggy being the more meeker of the two, and how she eventually got stronger when she entered show bizz and left the family farm. Poggy being a lot more rougher then Piggy and pushing her around, on the verge of bullying, which leaves Piggy untrustworthy of her when they’re adults. (Poggy so strikes me as the type of sibling to do the “Why’re you hitting yourself? Why’re you hitting yourself?” to Piggy when they’re kids)
