If only Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon counted in Catholic eyes, does this mean Mary wouldn't theoretically consider any of his other wives 'real' stepmothers, as such? If she did, how would she rationalise defying the Pope's will, whilst upholding the papal authority to sanction the marriage of her parents?

She probably never did, based on the wording of that Act in question. Her attitude towards papal authority during her own reign was...contradictory in other ways, however.

I'll give u a hundred if u let me in on the secret abt fans thinking thor and loki didn't act like siblings before ragnarok

well you see, siblings have got to be willing to harm each other a little, otherwise it doesn't count.

[ghosttotheparty]

the way steve reveals he smokes weed is so funny but also the implication that his dad routinely accuses him of doing drugs is so worrying to me.

SO true

every day i have more reasons to hate the harringtons

yandere dragon X madly in love reader

Here's another idea,a yandere dragon like all powerful and scary the villager is scared of him,the king is scared of him,the Wizards and pretty much everyone and their grandmother is scared of him but then there's you,you different breed of a human decides to see him for the first time and say "yes that's my hubby" and the rest is history

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

• people often called you crazy, dilusional and others not so nice insults for being still not being married despite hitting the big 2 0 that and also rejecting the local lords and basically anyone who tries to court you

• now just because people say it doesn't mean you HAVE to follow it yk?oh but you did you played their little fantasy of you being crazy so perfectly people were honestly scared for your mental well being,why?you may ask

• well it's because when khum first arrived at the village (I say first but it's really his 100th time terrorising the village) you decide to whisper something that some people might have heard "he's perfect" you said eyes filled with hearts watching him scaring the sht out of the locals

• honestly you're staring so much he could feel you boring holes into his head,curious he looked around for whoever it is that dared to stare at him for so long and BAM! He saw you,at first he thought you're staring at him in contempt or anger maybe both but then you sigh lovingly and waved at him a fools smile placed upon your face

• he had to look around and points at himself just to made sure he even mouthed "m-me? you're talking to me?!" But you blowing him a kiss and winking made it pretty clear it was him,well let's say after that he couldn't help but think about you "what an odd human" he thought

• "oh my god haven't you heard?! The dragons visit has been so frequent lately our village can't keep affording the rebuilding cost!" One of the villagers said,you aren't paying attention but just hearing him coming back more and more made your heart flutter "I know it's a blessing" you sighed melting into the seat as you remembered the first time he talks to you

•well it happened,khum stood Infront of you folding his hand,what is his plans anyway?kidnapping a human all of a sudden,a weird one at that,"human,do you have a name?" He said

• "you can call me yours,and I'll call you mine" you said "how about the name....treasure?no too basic maybe clove?nah um.....oh darling?" he said tilting his head,khum never thought one day he'd witness a human visibly explode and faint but here we was

• it was a rocky start to the relationship,well...rocky as in everything was so perfect it's scary, here's the recap,on day five of your kidnappings you've opened up to how the villagers had been treating you(not that it's hard to make you open up,all he had to do was give you food and call you pet names while stroking your head and bam! you're dumping your entire trauma onto him) and oh boy was he not happy

• now despite everything he's still a classy dragon,he ofcourse had hoarse of treasure but he also had a pretty nice castle he may or may not seize from a royal you don't have to know that tho so moving on,and with a huge castle come servants and with those come soldiers who needs to maintain security,not that he needs any but you know he likes to have thing's completed and that including the castles needs

• now when his subordinates first saw you absolutely gushing on how cute he was they were absolutely shocked,because one he literally look like a demon ripping out people's heart and two this isn't some flower field it's a grusome battle scene yet you couldn't help but blush when his shirt got torn off,you even closed your eyes to savor the moment after a while

• khum really can't understand your fixation on him,is it like his love for you?but even then he acknowledges your weird behaviour but you literally looked at him as if he was a god,not that he minds,he gotta admit that day he kinda wore a shirt that's a couple of size down so when he does some movements that needs intents flexibility his shirt would rip off in some cool cinematic style,it worked,it worked too well

• so apparently his stamina had their limits he'd come to know it last Night after the battle,oh but the details won't be necessary,oh but don't be fooled if he were to actually try you'd be the one to pass out

• now is he dilusional?nope he knows full well that it's not healthy but does he care?nope he's a powerful dragon,are you dilusional?maybe?...idk...probably....yes?.... Well he is cute so I'll give you that

• he is possesive, but it's really hard to show possesive when the person he loved won't look at other people,you will talk to people normally but once he entered your line of sight the other people can forget ever having a conversation with you

• now for the big question does this technically make you a yandere? maybe..yes.

•i feel the need to say he is 100% taller than you, I'm sorry but it's just the rules 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ

• yes he has two pp lets move on now

• he had a way of marking you so other beasts knows to back the fuck off it's called biting,the first night you ever discover the chamber of secrets together(wink wink nudge nudge)he bit down on your neck,it leaves a pretty little flower mark that's imbued with his power it's very very very tiny teeny I cannot stress enough how tiny it is so it's safe

• now if you EVER even say someone else is cute then oh boi oh my,now I have established that he is jealous have I?,no?well too bad because he is,and his jealousy doesn't play nice,he will rip out the heart and torture the person over and over and over each time reviving them again and again and put a curse of Resurrection on them only to leave them in a forest of ravaging beasts that has lost their minds to be feasted upon and tortured until he sees them having suffered enough. ಠ⁠︵⁠ಠ Moral of the story? don't just don't say anyone is cute (yes not even babies) (he won't like k.o them but he will like curse them or sum sht )

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

on that note good night people

[rayroseu]

I think I realized why I like Silver despite his character trope being what I hate lol No, its not about him being too boring, its about his character centering around "repaying your family"

In Filipino teleseryes iirc, there's always a character trope for the good kid where their entire motives centers around doing work for their family for their entire life, and the story makes that personality "righteous" "admiring" and should be "what all children should do"

I suppose I hated it as a kid because its trying to enforce a standard🤣 like its trying to influence its viewers that this is how you should treat your parents, even if its good behaviour that this character trope is trying to portray,,, they were annoying because it always portrays that "their effort for their parents was perfect"

But Silver's story isn't like that. I can say that the story reinforces that ""his ideal way"" of repaying Lilia often fails because of circumstances he cannot control. His efforts to repay his parent, often fails, and I think that's what makes Silver really relatable.

I think Silver is convinced as well that what will make Lilia proud and would be him performing splendidly as knight and student(?), thats why he always works hard and he gets saddened when his sleeping condition ruins that hard work (Silver Lab Vignette)

But "being perfect", or even a repayment for raising him up, isn't what Lilia wishes for Silver... What would truly make Lilia proud, would be "just Silver living."

Its like Lilia didn't expect anything from Silver,,, in a "just be yourself" way.... I think during Book 7, this is what conflicted Silver the most (other than the whole Knight of Dawn relateion), that his Father would truly love him no matter who he is or what he becomes.

I also love the fact that TWST added the tragedy of aging in Silver's motive of repaying his parent... Because that truly is a harsh reality 😭 if you want to repay your parents, there's always this looming worry that your parent might not make it in time for them to see you succeed and be proud of you because they'll pass away from age...

I think the way their story reminds that "your time together with your family is ephemeral" inspired me more to actually value my time together with people important to me ykk

So Silver's motivation to repay his parent often ""fails""" because what Lilia wants from him is to just live and be yourself, and that's what the story enforces Silver to do as well. 🥹

I haven't read many stories that dwells this topic as emotional as Silver and Lilia's story... 🥲 Usually the parents in teleseryes will expect something like "at least complete your studies so we can be proud of you 🥺" while that is a good expectation,, it kinda gives off the vibes that the parental love was conditional all along XD. Its never as unconditional as Lilia's imo... 🥹🥹🥹💖💖

Its also seen with what skills Lilia teaches Silver revolving around survival, because he wants him to truly live with your own morals ("own two legs" if you will).

Side note: if there was an option for Silver to be raised by Knight of Dawn, I'd still would choose Lilia to raise him because Lilia can teach Silver what Knight of Dawn never did— speaking up for his own morals— even if the king and the nation displeases it— even if he was "alone" about his correct opinion. That belief that Lilia instilled upon him truly will make Silver live honestly to himself yk...🥹🥹🥹💖💖

Yapping about Kaiser (again)

No because I was thinking about Kaiser's narcissistic traits and how fucking SPOT ON they are its insane.

The hierarchy. The fact kaiser thinks in hierarchies. And its shown pretty explicitly via that one panel of noa and isagi on the stairs and Kaiser looking at them from below after his delusions got shattered.

That + him perceiving(!) Ness as a dog because he is inferior in his hierarchy scale.

And this is such a dismissed trait yet it's The most important when it comes to how narcissistic people navigate interpersonal relationships.

There's always someone inferior. There may be someone superior, too. Unless you're delusional enough. Then you're actually God.

And to think Ness is the main enabler* of those "delusions", esp when it comes to grandiosity, another narcissistic trait Kaiser displays.

*specifying i am not victim blaming Ness

Without Kaiser taking advantage of his fragility, without Ness grabbing onto the single spark that Kaiser had shown him (via... calling him a loser? Lmfao), the kaiser-centric system in bm would not exist.

So Kaiser went from being dismissed by the whole team due to his antisocial behavior/inability to navigate the "human" world to being praised non-stop and considered the fundamental player in their team.

Considering how Kaiser has never received love or recognition beforehand, he got lost in it and got greedy. Kaiser pre chara development is just your local feral stray cat who you adopted and now believes he is the king of the house. I seriously do not blame him for that ngl.

(Esp since he Is a good player. So his delusions werent actually that delusional yk.)

He does think he is The shit though, except at the time he was a v static player. He got too comfortable in the security of ness' passes, too dependent on it, which made his game more predictable and didn't let him evolve to reach his full potential.

I think, with time, his grandiosity may fade a bit, since to me it was strictly linked to Ness and the kaiser-centric system used by BM. That + it is a double edged sword, since it actually slows you down into becoming your better self. If you alreadythibk you're the greatest, there's not much room left for development.

And Kaiser is smart and is actually quite self conscious enough to not fall in past mistakes, not now that he has finally gotten the grasps of how to become a better player. He is a pro when it comes to survival, after all.

So yeah, grandiosity is def not Kaiser's main trait imo. The hierarchy, his callousness and his sadism (his malice) are probably more "pronounced" in his personality, although neither callousness nor sadism are inherently linked to narcissism.

Now, as I just said, sadism is common in people who display narcissistic behaviour but its not inherently narcissistic. It may be linked to antisociality, as well as trauma or repressed rage.

Kaiser, who's been unable to react to his father's abuse for YEARS, has, in fact, more than a decade worth of repressed rage. Except – once again – he does not rebel to whom he considers stronger/superior in his hierarchy.

In this case he sorta acts like your typical bully. Can't react towards an "authority" so he picks on weaker/inferior people. Kaiser feasts on them. But of course, there's no satisfaction into crushing npcs, yk. Hence all that disney villain type of monologue about how Isagi was finally big enough to devour (gay methinks, but thats not the point). Again. Big enough to get the sadistic satisfaction of crushing him but not too big, at least in Kaiser's mind.

(Except karma is a bitch and so is Isagi.)

Also. Can I say that I love how when Kaiser is not masking, he is the literal definition of the person standing emoji. Which is kinda funny but its actually so fucking real. Whoever has experienced dissociation, depersonalisation or derealization knows the drill. And dissociative disorders are sooo so common when it comes to trauma, esp when it comes to physical abuse. Kaiser's perception of his own body is probably so messed up. He got beat up till he bled like almost every day. Kaiser's body was for his father to use as a punching ball for YEARS. Since he was a CHILD.

So, of course, the second kaiser got actual autonomy on his body (for the first time ever!!!) he asked for a tattoo. Because now he gets to customise it as a way to make it his own.

It's his body now.

Also, his lack of empathy/callousness absolutely comes from trauma. Living in a violent environment, being forced to use your reptilian brain 24/7 does not do well to a child, and definitely doesn't help the correct development of certain parts of your brain when it comes to emotions. And Kaiser is still on survival mode.

Tbh. Kaiser's cptsd is severe and deeply intertwined in his personality and how he acts and lives. Even the hierarchy trait is strictly linked to his childhood: eat or get eaten. His father treated him like an extension of himself, a worthless object.

His ability to read people and to recognise Ness as easy prey probably comes from when he used to steal from people. You know, you need to learn quickly how to spot certain patterns and find the perfect victim to rob. He is used to analyse and read people. He just lacked the ability to manipulate since his experiences with people were limited.

I'm gonna be honest he would be a difficult patient to properly diagnose, considering his backstory. C-ptsd is the only thing I'm certain of.

((I think if his mental state ever becomes a nuisance in Kaiser's plan to become his best version, he would resort to therapy.))

((Much to think about but now im tired so i will end this here))

ITS MEEEE IM BACK WITH THE MILK!! THIS ADHD GIRL BACK :33

An S/O (Female) of the Monkey King's (Like reader is girlfriend of the different Monkey Kings), who acts and haves the personality of the first chapter of bfb like FOUR from Bfdi, but they have the same behaviour that Four once had when they made their first appearence in the show, yk, Powerful, Literally Destroys and screechs everything that just breathes the air in a slightly wrong way. How each one will react?

I literally love Four and X and i had to make an request about something similar to Four.

God... i imagine how troublemaker and powerful the Reader willbe with the powers of four, yet they dont know it since they are too dumb to realize (like four)

I love bfdi (Battle for dream island) <333

BTWW HII!! ITS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I REQUESTED AND SRRY, I WAS STUCK PLAYING COOKIE RUN AND STUFF...

______ (literally an interaction)

Random ahh person: "Y/N can you quit your shenanigans and help-"

*The reader lit screeches and makes them pass out*

*Wukong looking all the interaction and how their girlfriend just screeches everyone who even exists in a wrong way*

"D:"

I watched some of this and it's Hilarious and I love his character already🤣

(Lmk Wukong) this is totally him when he has to deal with you. You guys meet in the JTTW and immediately something was very unusual about you. When he aggressively Confronted you the first the thing you did was Screech at him and he woke up on the floor. He was then after that very weary of you after that. Strange things happened around Us in the group after that people even made a legend around us. Even to this day he still doesn't quite get you and your aura but he loves you for it although to the outside looking in people can sense that their is something dark about you for example Macaque and Sandy.

(MKR Wukong) Yooooooooo your Marriage is so Chaotic and Unusual that you make him For once want to be a responsible person. Your antics are so unpredictable that even The monk doesn't know your next mood. And you have stun people with your Screeching and it was funny until it happened to him. And more weird things have happened around you such as stretching your limbs, you bing able to manifest out of thin air and warp and mutilate demons from a distance. You love scaring both Pigsy and Sandy but you love Wukong and Fruity. But There is very dark thing about you and it worries the monk even after the journey.

(HIB Wukong) You....You are a terrible influence to both Luier and Silly girl Especially Silly girl. Silly girl screeches alot thanks to you and Luier is asking even more questions then ever with every Chaotic phenomena and he has to find some way to deal with it. But on the bright side You care very much for him and the kids but he always finds some interesting about you and it frightens and enlightens him.

(NR Wukong) Chaos Chaos CHAOS PEOPLE🤯🤯🤯. Wukong is tamed compared to you. From your Random Screeching to you weird quirks and abilities to the crazy sh*t you say and ask and do. He loves it but it slowly starts to disturb him because you seem to be unaware of what you can do and of what happens around you. And he if starts to get Careful and cautious of you well.... that's when Li and Su become alarmed by you as well.

(Netflix Wukong) He can match your energy like a puzzle piece. He quickly learns that you love to play games and are quite the free spirit and the best part is you never judge him on what he says and do. In fact you totally encourage it but Lin quickly points out our rather unusual life. We of course never give her a Straight answer on to what's going on but she's worried and a little suspicious of you. But As for Wukong he loves spending every day with you and loves your quirky self Sure he can do without the screeching , but he doesn't want you to ever change.

itty bitty little northeast hcs bc the asks r dry :(((

they are NOT fun cool life of the party they are SAD GAY LOSERS i do feel this should be broadcast on national tv to confirm the canonness.

that being said. one family dinner with them is actually illegal under the geneva convention due to high level of mental torture.

things start off lovely. they go to maine's little cabin-in-the-woods (STEPHEN KING MY FRIENDS, ITS NOT COTTAGE VIBES!). he will make you wait outside if you are late. he locks the doors and laughs.

unfortuantely, they will not be within five feet of each other during baseball season, under a rule so important gov considers adding it to the constitution.

it is like a grandpa convention lets not lie to ourselves bc there's definitely a part in the night where they just reminisce about the war and vermont will show up with printed-out pictures of some battle monument model he made bc even maine's terrible signal wont stop him.

they have to get new york there by physical force, bc he is doing his level best to sneak his way out. sorry its shabbat (it's actually a tuesday). sorry lost my voice can't come (he's only over said 10 words max). sorry been hit by a car (typa guy to genuinely try and walk off a broken leg).

they have to battle not to bring up politics ooohhh because you know mass's eye is twitching at the thought of being able to debate. connecticut threatens to report him to the authorities as a communist threat. he threatens to throw him through the wall. this is normal sibling behaviour.

typa emotional repression where they'll just be arguing and bickering as normal when one of them will drop the most gut-wrenching sickening personal lore and they all will just refuse to mention it.

oooooohhh yk its got a kick to it when ur sat across from someone who literally took bllets for you telling you ab how life is collapsing around them. anyways new hammy made a salad w craisins and we better switch the topic to that.

speaking of. half of the food is completely inedible. rhode island spent so many years a pirate he has no idea how much salt is too much salt. you CAN eat delaware's food but also be aware he's known for chemical manufacturing so its a 50/50 chance you'll make it.

jersey and york, arguably the only two good cooks, are not allowed to bring food bc they unfortunately suffer from chronic cant-understand-our-families-r-from-different-italian-regions-and-food-might-be-different syndrome.

for some inexplicable reason PA becomes group DJ. the only songs on his phone are 'brand new city' by mitski and 'dont stop the party' by pitbull.

[sukirichi]

adding to what that anon said, maybe after all those years of being excluded from those drawings and his brothers, rin has finally found his own person yk (reader) he finally feels like he isn’t lonely anymore and that he has someone he can include in his own drawings if that makes sense? (inner child things) and he feels that if reader engages and gets close with his brothers, she might realise that she’s better off without him/his brothers are better. circling back to when his brothers used to play around and despite the queen telling him he’s meant to be the king and what not, he still felt excluded if that makes sense.

ig that’s why he does the push and pull thing; understands that he has deeply hurt reader through his actions but still cannot let go of her in case she leaves him too, the only person he thought of his own.

+ perhaps iris gave him that false sense of closeness as well or maybe similar circumstances? (can’t say whether rin considered her in the picture or not) but obv once reader came along rin maybe fell in love + found his own person he would include in his drawing of a family. the queen approving of reader and their marriage may or may not have helped idk.

obv all this is just a wild guess cause as much as childhood trauma can affect your present behaviour, I still kind of believe that if rin truly regretted it/realised his mistake, he wouldn’t continue seeing iris (yes I am salty about the affair like babe choose iris but let reader go they deserve better)

OOOH ANON ILY FOR THIS this is spot on for suna’s character! totally agree with everything you said - until now he’s hurt he’s not part of the drawings, or was never invited to play with them. suna is a vv insecure and lonely child, so he clings onto reader because she wanted him and proved her loyalty to him with his (courting) efforts. he thinks he earned her feelings and so he’s entitled to it. that’s why he finds it hard to accept that princess is now becoming closer to his brothers bcos he never expected that. like yeah, she wants them to get along with them, but aside from tobio, he doesn’t want her forming deep connections with others </3 he wants all her attention bcos he’s afraid he’ll be excluded once again. also yes! that’s why he does a push n pull! his mind is like ‘but you have to forgive me, right? you have to, you will.’

exactly nonnie like he cannot have both! if he wants iris so bad, then he should let reader live their happiest lives with omi 🥺

[multifanlol]

Could you do some romantic Yandere Marcy Headcanons?

Okay so first off-thanks for the request! And second of all, i love her smm and yandere her would def make me question my life choices lol anyways….

Tw: Stalking, obsessive behaviours, overbearing behaviours, just regular yandere stuff….

Marcy would be clingy

Like not the clingy clingy the very overbearing one of your personal space type my girl would not know what personal space is 💀

Like let’s say you were going to give some letter to a teacher-

Marcy would offer to come with you! No saying no she very much insists

I can see her doing the basics like stealing your used pen, taking locks of your hair, etc stuff that you wouldn’t be too sad about

And if she did take stuff that would bother you she would play the hero character and give it back to you!

“Oh found your phone by the table s/o heh, you should really be more careful with your stuff!”

While i don’t think she’d have a big hero complex like Anne and Sasha due to her insane clumsiness she’d like the idea of it though, like yk those movies she probably watches with the dashing hero and there love interest, she would always tell you that and probably force you to watch the movies with her-

Speaking of her insane clumsiness i feel like that would stop you if you ever did from suspecting her stalking behaviour, because she’s Marcy Wu the clumsiest girl you’ve ever known since kindergarten!

But believe me she can stalk, in more different ways per say like if you had social media she’d probably be using her own account or an unknown account but to be fair she wouldn’t wanna creep you out!

So probably her own account to monitor you at best, no she’s not controlling you, she’s just watching over you! She has to make sure you don’t do anything stupid after all!

Overall, she’s be harmless before Amphibia of course…..

Now i wouldn’t say she’s Sashas level of manipulation but we have to remember she got her best friends stranded in Amphibia a pretty deadly world you could easily die in making one wrong move and did a pretty good job still lying about it

She’s more of a gaslighter type of manipulator maybe guilt trips you anyways back to her in Amphibia-

The first thing she wants in Amphibia other then the cool adventures is looking for you, and oh boy would she be training, she’s a ranger now she can protect you like she always wanted! Now it could go two ways

If you changed like she did and got more stronger, she wouldn’t know how to feel, sure she’d try to tell herself she’s happy but how’s she supposed to protect you if you don’t want her to? Maybe she has to be a little forceful but it’ll all work out in the end don’t worry! She’s sure you’ll be hers by the end

She’s sure of it……

But if you didn’t change and we’re still “weak” in her eyes, she would do anything in her power to protect you! It would honestly be how Anne saw her-

Now she’s not clumsy and can protect you at all costs, now that you are in Amphibia i feel like it’d be more easy to now see through her, since her clumsiness mostly made up for her being creepy and oh boy you wouldn’t like it

You’d notice how possessive she’d probably get again, she wouldn’t want to be forceful, but what if you die?! Especially since she is yk the reason your there, not like you need to know though, she feels like you would understand but what if Anne or Sasha talked you into it that what she did wasn’t okay?!

Her jealousy would show almost clearly when interacting with Sasha or Anne, especially Anne since she said it herself she was jealous of Anne especially with how likeable Anne can be……she’s just a clumsy nerd after all….

Or well she was

Would probably try to to impress you with her smartness and stuff 😭

“You don’t think you can solve these huh, Anne? Woah these stuff are really easy!”

“Those look really hard though-“

When King Andries offers her that deal, how could she say no?! I mean if her parents moved she’d lose everything…..she’d lose you…..

And to her your her escapism, like a fictional character you’d wish was real different is you are real….

So this is for her and your own good…..

When King Andries outs the truth to you all she expects you to understand

Why are you backing away from her like the others…..

I did this for us s/o! T-They were gonna tear us apart!

……

Let’s say you were with Sasha and wartwood training, you didn’t know how to feel about Marcy as a what she did was messed up, but you end up coming to the conclusion on hearing her out, with the other girls there of course……

While you were doing this Marcy was being held captured ready for the core to be the new host for the body, what the core nor king Andries knew was that this was a girl with a certain strong obsession towards someone……

While the core isn’t obsessed as much as they try to stop it Marcy’s “love” for you ends up reaching Darcy who’s a smart manipulative psychopathic strategist……

Yeah

The first thing Darcy wants is for you to be found and be captured immediately

Sasha notices how different the bots are acting…..like they aren’t trying to attack her when they see her…..they seem to have eyes on you…..

Sasha thinks that King Andries is probably trying to capture you while she doesn’t know why she knows it has something to do with Marcy

I mean she’s kinda right

Anywayssss if Darcy does capture you your screwed, like very screwed

Your dealing with a smart obsessed mastermind who also happens to have the core hosting the mind therefore makes it Psychotic

Why don’t you just call “it” Darcy

With Darcy’s psychotic and obsessed personality it would be no lie Darcy would be forceful

“Heh! Oh “sweetie” you thought you could escape from me?! There will be no earth after we’re finished so why don’t you just be a cute thing and listen….”

I feel like King Andries would feel guilty and would always try to make it being captured by “Darcy” a little better by trying to tell Darcy letting you roam around the castle as it’s not like you can escape since the castle is in the air

Not like she’d listen that much but he’d try

Expect a very overbearing, forceful, clingy “girlfriend” i mean your practically hers at this point nobody could ever love you like she does!

Expect all those lovey dovey cheesy nicknames like “cupcake” “sweetie” yk the usual she’d say this while with the psychotic, most sinister look on her face it’d be kinda scary…..

Even when Anne does save the world and you four can all return safely not everyone is happy

Particularly a short blue haired girl

She still has to move, no matter how much she begs she wouldn’t care at that point she wasn’t losing you

Maybe she has to make a few lies to the new job application place you might say she couldn’t but she’s grown so much in Amphibia i think she’s sure she’s capable if it doesn’t work though logically she’ll maybe start with your parents then depends if there divorced or not, maybe convince them how cool the place is….and if none works

Well I’ll let you decide 🙂

Overall Marcy i feel like would be a bit that obvious yandere although if you just look a little deeper you’ll realise how different she’d look…..

I feel like there’s more stuff she’d do but this is all i could come up with for now-

[gildeddlily]

we stan homosexual behaviour (so dazai knew he was somehow already important to chuuya?) (woah that's gay)

[1. We Stan The Flags 2. We Stan Adam (Paul bby what are you doing)]

3. We Stan the "Demon Prodigy" (the homo prodigy maybe) (he ab to flip Verlaine off)

Adam's point of view? nothing better than it

yk what Mori how about you fall down the stairs and oh so accidently break your neck? no bad feelings just go die in a ditch (he's actually right, cause they're in the damn mafia and Chuuya has to kill the man who slaughtered his family. but he's mourning them and that patronising voice is killing me)

well maybe. but reading things like this makes sense, like who even thought ab just chewing something for a long time without eating it? ppl who didn't know ab it must have felt like Adam, they have my solidarity (Chuuya's about to kill him right there, first with the chocolate now with gums. imagine if he saw him eating pure sugar like it was water)

because he's a self harming asshole who still thinks he deserves the sheep's betrayal cause he was a "bad leader" sugar they were shitty people, and even if you were all fifteenish you didn't stab anyone without any second thought at least

No, you didn't get anything, you're a dumb bitch who makes me want to rip out my own eyeballs every time I have to read one of the stupid sentences you says. one thing I didn't miss about Stormbringer was Shirase talking again and again and again about things he didn't know and treating Chuuya like he was the one at fault just don't talk

ADAM STOP IT NOW they're always dropping height jokes about Chuuya and it makes me cry everytime (Asagiri thinks he's funny) (he is)

EVEN MURASE no I don't know why but I totally forgot everything about him. and I don't know if I'm happy or not, knowing how he'll end up...

why so romantic Chuuya him talking ab Dazai like he's a piece of trash is funnier than everything. this following the "dazai fell first" headcanon that basically is my bible (it's canon shut up, chuuya started to really love him after stormbringer just trust me)

and talking ab Dazai

so he thought of Dazai as someone dear enough to Chuuya to tying him to the Mafia? wow that's some serious charges Paul are you sure ab it? (I just imagine Paul about to kill him and Dazai being like "hey, you're the dog's lost brother, why are you here? me? tying him to the mafia? I don't think so, but you can kill me if you need it so much, thank you!")

you'll find something one day honey please stop you're making me cry (i love Odasaku but straight up telling him that he'll always feel empty is a little fucked up but I understand that you're traumatized too so dw)

he's so teenager just stop please (his writing is so pretty and the he-learned-to-write-properly-thanks-to-the-mafia hc is as canon as his name)

shut the fuck up. shut up. I don't wanna hear you. you're not even my shoe's king, just shut up.

AH AH TAKE THIS YOU ASSHOLE Adam doing what Chuuya wasn't able to (admit he wasn't the guilty one in that fucked up situation) Shirase needed someone telling him that he wasn't the fucking centre of the universe

Murase is the man every kid in bungou stray dogs needed. He already knows that is late for Chuuya, that he has already became a tool in the mafia's hands, but he doesn't want him to see it happens to others, or to be the one doing it. (think about Akutagawa, that entered the organization in some months I think, and became a tool in Dazai's hands. Chuuya was made executive in little time and he was for sure busy, but he was still there to look at Akutagawa craving for someone's approval to the point of becoming with time the Rabid Dog of the Mafia, Dazai's dog (funny) and he remembered what Murase said to him. just- him remembering. need more Akutagawa and Chuuya contents btw)

I hope you die (I love you but stop with the "little brother" thing you're hurting my eyes) (you're depressed like anyone else so stop pretending to be cheerful) (parallels with future Dazai? no alr stop)

not Chuuya knowing how to speak but not what bread is (people joke a lot about it but it made me cry the first time, and it's still fucking sad. and Shirase calling him disgusting when they were almost in the same situation? shut up please)

...yeah bby you're the mildest person I've ever seen

mild adjective, mild·er, mild·est. -amiably gentle or temperate in feeling or behavior toward others -characterized by or showing such gentleness, as manners or speech

yeah ofc you are bby

I hate them so much Chuuya still doesn't see the mafia as "family". his family has been killed by the only person in that world that could understand him. he doesn't trust Dazai, and he doesn't trust Mori, even if he respects him. He truly is desperate about the fact that the only man who ever tried to give him a chance died, cause the truth is no one will ever do something like this for him again. And the hitting his chest things is so immature and childish- like yeah we'll tell you ab his strength and power every two sentences, just to remind you he's been around killing people for years, but then we'll drop something like this to remind you he's a mere teenager

PARDON?!

teeheehee 🤭😙 (referencing this post)

basically im envisioning that after the driftmark incidendent luke gets a therapist to work through it and ensure he doesn’t develop any longlasting behaviour issues yk. and he actually really likes it, he likes being able to talk things through with an unbiased person. he gets so comfortable with her that when he and jace start to ‘date’ (around 14/15) he starts to mention it like “oh my boyfriend…” etc and she’s like great ^_^ a healthy relationship. for the past few years she’s been trying to guide luke’s mindset about his family into something decidedly less… weird and intense

luke knows that incest is bad and all but he’s also like well my ancestors did it for generations and im fine, so.

anyway luke is slowly telling his therapist about his relationship and she’s making sure he knows about safe sex etc and isn’t being pressured. she’s lowkey concerned anyway because luke is like “my bf doesn’t like it when i hang out with/be alone with/do this thing/etc”. one session he slips up in the middle and actually calls jace by his name. idk what but something unmistakeable.

instantly the therapist is like no way wtf not good, predatory manipulation etc etc. luke is like NO but it’s too late. they get separated and also forcibly removed from rhaenyras care - luke is sent to driftmark to be with their grandparents. with jace i can see two choices, angst or angstier. option 1 jace is sent to kings landing to be with viserys and alicent. immediately alicent sends jace to boarding school like she did with her other kids. option 2 jace is taken into the state system and they lose all contact. no one has any idea where he’s been placed and they search but can’t find him. even worse bc luke blames himself for jace disappearing

luke continues therapy even though his separation from jace is the most traumatic thing to happen to him so far. he’s not doing well. therapist is like dont worry now you can get better away from that abuse!!! but luke is always like it wasn’t abuse and i don’t ever want to recover, i never want to forget how loved jace made me feel

anyway luke goes through the rest of his teenage years feeling like a shell of a person. the day jace turns 18 luke lingers around the city centre of high tide, waiting for him to appear. he waits every day for two weeks but jace doesn’t come. luke is heartbroken all over again

ten months later luke also turns 18. two days after his birthday jace turns up on his doorstep and it’s all very happy and they reconcile!!!!! yayyyyy for happy endings. basically their records or whatever go public once they turn 18 so jace had to wait for luke to turn 18 before he could get his address. though he doesn’t mention it jace was also expecting luke to find him - he turned 18 first so his records were available so he thought luke would look for him and was also like Oh :((( when luke didn’t turn up. but seeing luke cry when they meet again washes away all of jaces doubts

then they spend their adulthoods together being obsessive and codependent even more than they would be if they had grown up completely together ❤️ yay for true love

thanks for the ask bestie i took the opportunity to word vomit 🫂

how do you meet a tumblr friend in real life? i don't think i could do that, it sounds terrifying😂

hmmm idk i don't mind meeting up with people, i can be chatty as fuck, and as long as we're meeting in a public place aka there's no chance of me being murdered in a gruesome fashion, i don't see why not, yk?

to be fair, i only travelled specifically to meet up with amanda @lifewasradical and monse @lukemichaelcalumashton, which happened in july last year, while meeting up with kyrie @lxnelyhearrt, meg @kaleidoscopeminds and beth @pxrxmoore (not at the same time) was more "accidental and convenient" cos i was in london alone for ono and, well, they're all UK people, so i met up with kyrie before the show and we had a few drinks at a pub right by rah and in hindsight i think i talked kyrie's ear off, i feel like i just...talked and talked and never shut up, so i'm sorry abt that babe, if you see this, and then i briefly met up with meg to say hi outside rah after the concert, at which point i was shaky due to a combination of chain smoking (cos i smoked at the time) and Holy Shit I Just Saw 5SOS-adrenaline, so i was most definitely not at my peak behaviour, i actually think i acted pretty weird, and then i located beth and soooo many other ppl at a damn burger king omw back to the hotel (she is so tiny and so cute, in case anyone was wondering)

so. that's how you meet tumblr friends🧡

okay let me explain to you why I automatically view Mike Wheeler as The Soldier and Will Byers as The Poet.I did a quick research of the meaning of the song and each term, and

- The Soldier is described as “A person who sees everything as a fight. They feel destined for violence, driven by anger, and they walk into this world of conflict, partially by their own choice” and honestly? that sounds like Mike Wheeler core to me, he’s always quick to anger when he’s on the defensive and when he wants to protect the people he loves,but his choices are also driven by internal conflicts (especially if we consider the queer coding around his weird behaviours), maybe he’s not a physical fighter but his personality definitely matches with the dynamic of The Soldier.

- now Will Byers, honestly? im still undecided if he’s a Poet or a Ruler, I think the figure of The Poet matches his personality better but his storyline screams Ruler, anyway The Poet is described as someone who “Is a more peaceful creature who sees the beauty and poetry of the world and uses the power of words and their sensitivity as a strength that others may underestimate. However, the quiet power of this character can change the world as much as an act of war”, as we know Will and all the things he went through, we also know how much he feels (and hates being) “babied” by others and so also underestimated especially in the last few years of his life, and we’re also very aware of how much fundamental he is to the plot of the series and how much he will be important for season five, when everything will come to an end, “the show started with Will and will end with Will”,right?

I tried as much as I could to not mix the Canon with the Fanon because I feel like a lot of people do that, see the characters for what they are and not only for what you think/want them to be! as much as I love headcanons i prefer to follow the canon points for this kind of thing. I’m sorry for any grammar mistakes but english is not my first language:)

Bonus: I saw someone say “soldier and poet work best together romanticaly bc the poet will forever yearn to be king and the soldier won’t be able to view the king as equal” and I think that’s beautiful (only exception goes to lumax because Max is a soldier and Lucas is a king yk im right)

[madness-in-the-flesh]

you 🤝 me 🤝 deimos being so normal about gil like so totally normal

yk i was thinkin actually- gil wif an s/o who's very physically affectionate? i think the big dumb boy deserves some love-

We three are the average Gil enjoyers and we stand strong. For our king, He deserves and will receive ALL affection physically possible.

Jokes aside it's great to see someone who also enjoys Gil +) !!! His part was short but sweet. I plan on writing for him a lot in the future too. Also Church and Jorge but I haven't gotten around to those two though. Either way this was really fun to write shugsuifhse !!!!!!! <3

Burger Gil w/ a physically affectionate s/o

GENRE - Romantic

TRIGGER WARNINGS - Kidnapping, Food mention, Toxic mindsets, manipulation

It'd start when he first takes you probably, Similar to what I wrote about in the drabble: You try to get up but he just sits you back down. But instead, You're hugging into him and he feels like he's about to combust

Drops the plate of food he's trying to give you and just stares in both disbelief and absolute devotion. He can't BELEIVE this is happening. To him of all people! I mean he IS quite the celebrity but … he's just Burger Gil and your YOU, wonderful, awe-inspiring you!

Congrats on being allowed to move around the kitchen, as long as you don't try going upstairs... But why would you when you can be so affectionate with him here.

He's love language in more gift giving and words of praise however he adores physical affection. Considerably shy when it comes to PDA so when you come along and start giving him physical affection. He can hardly control himself.

If it's in a more private setting, He's scooping you right up and peppering your face with kisses. He'll do whatever he can to return his physical affection because he loves you!!! he wants to prove he does and with every good feeling you give him, He wants to return to you!

If it's more public, I.E. in the actual store/upper floor. He'll be very flustered. He's bright red with blush. If Zed's can blush, Not 100% sure if that's possible but he's a blubbering mess who doesn't know how to react since he needs to be professional at his job!!!!!

Either way, It kinda makes his feelings towards you worse. It's like your feeding his obsessive tendencies like he does his " customers ". It's similar to rewarding your pet for bad behaviour, Not good for the long run.

You could manipulate this though if you were smart enough. You could make like it into a reward system of sorts if you wanted to him to be more manageable as a yandere. That's because he puts all his trust into you and knows you'll stay put! But if this were to be broken, no. You won't be allowed out the kitchen every again

Although escaping him in general would be hard with his speed. One of the fastest G0L3Ms there is so unless you do have a different mode of transportation that isn't on foot away from Famous Gil’s City style food & other fine consumables. You are probably gonna be dragged back kicking and screaming

With time he will start to come out of his shell and become more physically affectionate with you more in public.

If you play your cards right and are truly happy with him, Maybe it'll just end with him being possessive and wanting your opinion on everything.

But genuinely please give him love and adoration he oh so deserves. That's all he wants. You, him and making burgers with lots and lots of love, hugs and kisses in-between.

So what we can take away: Burger Gil + Affectionate S/O = Very very good.

That roleswap au for king and the collector is actually so interesting and cool. like wow. I love it a lottt and i wanna know id u have any extra ideas for it or if that was all. (also yk how king had an arc trying to find his father? would there be something like that for the collector or no)

Original post here.

Yes! The Collector has an arc analogous to King’s ‘who and what was my dad, why did he disappear on me and who am I?’ arc in Season Two. This is an arc exploring, addressing and wanting to make up for their morally grey actions (namely their role in the Titan genocide), the sheer power and irresponsible behaviour of their past self as a whole, and how to reconcile all of that with who he is in the present and the mature, heroic person he aspires to be.

“Echoes of the Past” and “Edge of the World” are title-swapped in the AU, I think, because Season Two episode three has them visit Titan Trapper Island and the other becomes the one with King and his island.

So, in Season One we know that the Collector used to be a god in terms of his power level, had much the same naively careless, selfish, flippant personality they had at the start of the show, and therefore did some dodgy stuff without realizing how harmful it was. But the worst example of that we have is persecuting and trapping the Owl Beast and that hatchet is mostly buried at the start and fully buried in an early Collie-centric episode. As far as we know, his actions never had more severe or far-reaching consequences. Associating real murder with this kid who sleeps with stuffed animals and thinks making bread puns with Luz is the height of comedy is just impossible.

“Edge of the World” begins with a news broadcast about Belos and King and ‘the Titan’s plans’, which the Owl House family scoff at. Collie has already said in “Young Blood, Old Souls” that they saw live Titans and know that the very dead one they live on retaining the ability of communication is bullshit, but now they casually mention an old friend named Bill who might still be alive and will back them up on that. Luz and Lilith jump at the chance to help people - if someone other than ‘the Owl Lady’s weird delinquent kid’ can verify that nobody can hear the dead Titan, they could prove Belos is lying to his subjects to control them! Lilith individually is also interested in the rich history of a whole different civilization to be learned. Collie is on board and thinking more in the short term excited to see how Bill is doing; even if he’s dead, the Titan Trappers are probably still around, and it’ll be so fun to introduce their new friends to their old friends’ descendants! Eda is wary because she knows, but hasn’t really talked to Collie about it due to discomfort with deflating their joyful mood and damaging their faith in people, that it seems like most of the Collector’s “old friends” were just using him for personal gain. But her kids beg her, so she agrees. Off to Titan Trapper island they all go, including Hooty. They bring the Collector’s tablet to prove it’s him (their last physical form looked different) and in case they know how to fix it, or can unlock their power with their own tablet, though it’s already broken. Between prospective reunions, showing Eda, Luz and Hooty around his old stomping grounds and the slimmest possibility of restoring his god status, Collie has high hopes!

The Titan Trappers do indeed recognize the Collector. They warmly welcome “the Grand Hunstman” and their company with gifts and a feast. Collie explains the name is a nickname they gave him for being the best at playing the Trappers’ favourite game: Titan chase! Before they can elaborate on what this game involved, they’re distracted catching up with Bill, who seems genuinely interested in them and their life even after learning he’s no more powerful than he looks now. Meanwhile Luz is supportive but more interested in debunking Belos’s Titan claims. She, like Hooty and Eda is more cautious of the Trappers, but Eda is barely concealing hostility and tries to keep up with her kid. She smells a rat. This is way too good to be true. Bill inspects the cracked tablet and he and Collie dig deep into magical research.

Meanwhile, Lilith and Hooty go with Luz to look for Titan info to leverage against Belos, Lilith more focused on historical and cultural knowledge. They finds the skulls. Child skulls. They’ve seen King, so they has a frame of reference for the sizes.

Holy shit. Titan chase was genocide.

Collie led a genocide.

Bill figures out a magic-freeing ritual might just be possible, by channeling it through the two points of connection with the Collector’s former prison and exposing him to the flow. Problem is, they’ll need Titan blood to activate the ritual. And Belos is guarding the last surviving Titan. Collie is content knowing it’s possible and remarks that Belos has plenty of King’s blood fuelling his machines and stuff (as Luz observed during “Young Blood, Old Souls”) and it’ll just be a matter of stealing some of it. Then they can play all the cool superpowered games they used to and more!

Bill seems weirdly upset about this and reminds the Grand Huntsman that they still need to resume their long-paused game of Titan chase. It was so much fun, doesn’t he remember? The Titans are all cheaters and bullies anyway, like the bully that trapped the Collector in the first place. King is his very own son! Surely it would only be fair to kill him in revenge? The Collector remembers that he did find slaying Titans a lot of fun, but, well, it’s hard to explain, but it just doesn’t feel good anymore. King hasn’t really done anything bad, as far as he knows. If he has, it’s ‘cause Belos ordered him to and he thought his dad wanted to, and Belos is the meanest of all and Collie listens to Eda all the time, so he kinda understands. Everyone nowadays thinks the Titan is a god. But Collie knows they were normal people in their minds and hearts; and they’ve learned they are, too. It’s wrong to hurt people who haven’t done bad things, isn’t it? It’s wrong to kill people even after they’ve done some bad things. He and King are both people and that takes all the fun out of Titan chase. In fact… Bill tries to deflect before he can finish that thought, but they do it anyway.

What… what was the point of Titan chase in the first place? Why did the ancient Titan Trappers come up with it? What did they want the Titans’ power for?

A flashback sequence with his new perspective confirms that they were exploiting him and it all along and doing serious damage to the world around them (the authentic versions of rose-tinted memories of fun and games seen when he first recalled the Trappers). Struggling to process this, the Collector takes the tablets and backs away in revulsion and terror. Bill completely loses his patience and orders the Trappers to capture the Collector. The new plan is for them to hold him by force until they have the Titan blood, whereupon they’ll perform the spell but intercept the flow of magic. Bill himself will absorb the full extent of the magic and, as a god in his own right, restore his civilization to its former glory. And then, well… he won’t need the magic’s helpless, useless last vessel anymore. He omits when he relays the objectives to his people, instead spinning it as them ‘helping’ their confused, misguided god and ‘liberating’ him from their corporeal prison. Eda, hating that’s vindicated, tells her son to run and fends them off.

This is when Luz intervenes, spiriting the Collector to safety. On one hand, she loves her sibling figure and wants to protect them and is logically aware he didn’t understand his actions. On the other hand, her emotional side: “You killed all the Titans? Why did you kill all the Titans?”

Her frantic questioning tips Collie from panic into a full breakdown. He sobs that they lied, he thought it was a game, he thought they were all having fun, but it wasn’t fun, was it? It was never a game. Nothing was ever a game! Not Titan chase, not Eda and Belos’s hide-and-seek; everything’s always been big and real life and death and people getting hurt, and they were too caught up in the fantasy to realize it. And how much else did people lie to them? How many more of his old friends were just using him? They don’t know what’s real and what’s fake. The guilt is crushing like the bottom of the boiling ocean and he hates themselves for being naive and selfish enough to be complicit in atrocities on a scale an adult mind, let alone a child’s, struggles to process. There’ve been so many lies and misunderstandings, he doesn’t know who he is at all. Luz calms herself down and tries to reassure Collie that it matters that he didn’t have bad intentions and it’s going to be okay. It doesn’t do much.

Eda and the Titan Trappers both find them. A battle breaks out with protective big sister Luz, mama Eda, Aunt Lilith and Uncle Hooty fighting in all their in glory. But the Trappers’ numbers and unfamiliar style of magic and weaponry wear them down. During the fight a blast grazes Collie, leaving a small pink burn scar on his right cheek (parallel to the darker blue stars on his left one and King’s left broken horn) symbolic of his mortality and vulnerability and how it’s forced his personal growth. He is sick and tired of being the reason people are hurt. They don’t know who they are, but they know who they aren’t.

He stands up on a rock formation and announce to the Trappers, his sheer presence commanding their attention, “Stop! I’m not the Grand Hunstman anymore! I’m not your god! I didn’t even know what it meant that I was a god! [voice hitching] I was just trying to be your friend… but I didn’t know what that meant either. [hardening] Now I do. And I know more about power than you adults do. I know it’s wrong to kill people because of how they were born and to be even more powerful and call it justice! I don’t deserve your worship and you don’t deserve my power, or my friendship.” They rip off their necklace with their pre-imprisonment colour scheme and throw it at Bill’s feet. “This is over. We’re going home.”

Luz activates the Titan’s finger teleportation mechanism to escape on and Collie uses Luz’s ice and plant glyphs to destroy the finger. Returning to the Owl House, Hooty reveals they at least have the two tablets, which he swallowed while Collie’s speech was drawing everyone’s attention. The utterly exhausted Collie collapses into Eda’s arms. The episode ends on a note of uncertainty and innocence and ignorance, including the audience’s, shattered.

Jesus Christ, that was long. So the Collector’s subplot in Season Two is unpacking and coming to terms with all of that on top of needing to let Luz go. It’s… rough. He also gains a lot of skill in using glyphs, so they can be helpful in battles now having decided they can’t unleash his magic until he can trust themselves with it. He’s a fast learner and actually remembers how the ancient witches would do glyph magic. Those long, baggy sleeves? Full of glyphs.

“Echoes of the Past” follows on from “Hollow Mind” revealing Belos and Hunter’s origins by revealing King’s. I can’t figure out how to integrate King into the overarching plot really, but I know by this episode he’s pretty far down his ‘redemption’/abuser-escaping-and-defying arc that needs to somehow not just be a copy of Hunter’s. And Luz is determined to help him make that final step now she understands even more how despicable Belos and his parenting of both Hunter and King is is, and how urgent it is to defeat him. Collie is invested because a) he empathizes with King due to their similarities, i.e. being manipulated and exploited to enable atrocities for happening to be innately powerful organisms; and b) he desperately wants to atone for that whole genocide he led and helping to ensure the safety and happiness of the last known living Titan seems like a way to do that. Eda, like in canon, finds sending the kids to a distant, apparently safe location they could hide away in very convenient.

Though I don’t have a proper plot for this yet, I know King’s side is that he’s starting to doubt if what Belos says the Titan says is true, in a ‘Belos doesn’t realize it and means well but the connection might be patchy or something’s lost in translation from the Titan language or something’ sense, because apparently his dad doesn’t want him to have his recently developed friendship with Hunter that makes him happier than he’s literally ever been before. So he grudgingly teams up with Luz and the Collector, who are secretly planning to gently ease him into ‘your life is a lie’, to travel to his place of birth from his earliest memories, in the hopes of learning more about his father and species’s nature, culture or language from anything he or other Titans might’ve left behind there. What he gets is Belos and/or the antagonistic Coven Heads we didn’t get much of in canon coming to take him back (ironically weaponizing Titan’s blood tech he helped create), since Belos remembers that island. And thanks to Phillip’s forgotten notes, his very own ‘MY LIFE IS A LIE I AM NOTHING’ breakdown! It’s rough. This is when the false and real backstories for the previously seen broken horn are shown. We and the heroes also see all his scars and learn more of what Belos has put him through, a snippet of which along with Belos privately making it clear he purely cares about King’s power and it’s him, not the Titan, who has “big plans” for him on the Day of Unity, was observed in “Hollow Mind” (parallel to the Collector scene). But Luz and Collie are there for him. King, like Collie did his necklace and Hunter his cloak, discards his horn caps, crown regal robe for good. He keeps the underclothes because he isn’t comfortable with baring his scars yet.

Another big thing that happens in this episode is that the Collector saves the day. He and Luz are out of glyphs, Hooty is incapacitated and even King is too emotionally distraught/in shock to act at a critical moment and gets subjected to a countermeasure Belos of course devised against him. They put their faith in him, and he delivers, putting his knowledge of a really advanced spell into practice with King’s gladly offered battle-spilled blood. In the process actively risking his life. It’s the most simultaneously competent and heroic thing they’ve done so far. We have another ‘oh yeah Collie is a motherfucking GOD older than most existing continents in this world’ moment, only in a good way this time. But like how “Edge of the World” in canon ends on a overall loss, the spell is still unable to free King (to be Titan-proof, a restraint’s basically gotta be anything-proof) and when the villains retreat he’s taken with them.

Collie blames himself for this, and Luz and Hooty getting hurt before he remembered something useful. The episode heightens their already inflamed sense of personal responsibility - which brings them full circle from being all power, no responsibility, just like canon King - by both proving he has the knowledge and experience, and now the will, to make positive change and yet in his current state lacks the wisdom and raw power to always execute that perfectly. Few feelings are worse than knowing exactly what you need to do and how to do it, but just not having the ability to. This leads to their decision to finally unleash all their sealed magic in “King’s Tide”. It… doesn’t work as intended.
