YES YES YESSSS!!!ITS GOOD BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUS!

Look look at all the amazing stuff you just said!!! how this one revelation doesn't make you go "huh?" in confusion, it's like "Ahhh yessss" the satisfaction!

how many other little things suddenly MEAN MORE and MAKE MORE SENSE (as you say the military habits, the devotion, the facing off against higher demons, the belief in Charlie's dream- AND the skepticism at the same time-!) IT GOT SET UP! IT WAS THERE ALL ALONG!

it feels real. obvious revelations are things that not only slot into place with the plot but also make the REST of the world and plot and characters jive better with each other!

AND thematically- letting the demon kid go didn't strip Vaggie of her wings, a fellow angel TORE them off her-

there was no automatic divine retribution for mercy, just a rule enforced on the angels BY the angels- A SPECIFIC GROUP OF ANGELS- they had to TAKE her halo from her. She wouldn't turn a blind eye to killing a kid, so Lute cut it out, literally blinding her in one eye

(Charlie leaning down to kiss the scar.... when she doesn't know, she don't know-)

all this time and Charlie was standing next to someone who'd made her hoped for journey in reverse. a mass murdering angel who is abandoned in hell for showing mercy

(How many of Charlie's people has Vaggie killed-? THOUSANDS-)

Vaggie snapping when Angel Dust teased her about her name and now hearing how Adam says it, what he means by it, how Vaggie tries making it something different- he refuses to let her, blackmailing her, but she won't lie about Angel Dust, so in the end the truth is weaponized against her because she's too scared to say it

the last place she belonged, with the last people she trusted, they ripped her apart and threw her away just for NOT doing ONE thing. that's her frame of reference

(if she told Charlie the truth, what would Charlie do- people have two eyes but only one heart-)

and compared to your average sinner on the street, how much more death has Vaggie dealt out? how much more has she done to 'earn' a spot in hell, ironically, all while she was an angel?

(the LOOK on her face whenever Emily and Charlie got close-)

Emily, the literal perfect angel with her intact wings and halo, up in literal perfect heaven, able to speak up and speak out, something Vaggie isn't anymore, somewhere she doesn't belong anymore, doing things Vaggie is too scared to do now

(is this what Charlie really wants-?)

(THE INSECURITIES!!!)

it explains so much! it ADDS so much! she spared the kid because duh a kid but then CHARLIE bandaged her eye and now she's working along side sinners in the hotel following Charlie's dream that no one else believed in and Vaggie's a realistic, level-headed person going along with this weird dream because she knows there are demons in hell that are kinder than some angels have ever been

that's why the idea spread, that's why people liked it, that's why it's so much fun!

it's, c r u n c h y , because it was Obvious.

more pls

Even though we all saw it coming from a mile away, I really do think Vaggie being a fallen angel is the best direction for her character and the one that best explains it.

First of all, it explains how one of the most decent demons in Hell after Charlie would even be there in the first place. Because she never belonged there.

Then we have an immediate explanation for her hinted military background back in Scrambled Eggs. Of course she was a warrior, she went out to massacre demons each year!

It also sheds her attempts to protect Charlie in a more meaningful light. Because let's face it, admirable as it is, a mere sinner, and not even an Overlord, acting like the Princess of Hell's loyal guard dog and facing off against threats like Alastor seems extremely foolish; if she were a mere demon, she would definitely be biting more than she can chew. But she is not a demon, she's an angel, an exorcist; a species that isn't just far more powerful than demons, but that can even kill Overlords. And even if she lost her wings, given Lucifer's angelic nature is the reason he got to rule Hell in the first place, then clearly, Vaggie still is more powerful than most demons.

And finally, it explains her stance on Charlie's plan; that unyielding support coated in rightful doubt. On the one hand, her devotion comes from the fact that Charlie, Lucifer's daughter and a demon, showed her more compassion and care than her fellow angels, the supposed personification of everything good and perfect. Not only has she seen first hand how not all demons are that bad or deserving or death, but she stands out as the only angel so far to feel any mercy for them even before being exiled.

And what did that get her? Exactly. Exiled from Heaven and with both her eye and wings amputated. Again, Vaggie knows first hand how truly vile Heaven is. How, when it comes to demons, everything is a mistake that must be rectified through the most violent means possible. If Heaven, which is supposed to reward virtue, punished Vaggie, one of their own, for displaying a virtuous behaviour towards a demon, what chance do actual sinners have to ever be redeemed in their eyes and hence accepted in Heaven?

I guess this all comes to show how that just because a development is obvious, it doesn't make it any less good or fitting.

had sex with a seamstress last night, after which when we were lying there talking, she took some strands of hair from each of us off the sheets and braided them together into a thread, and then before she left she told us she takes bits of hair from all her lovers and stitches them into a patch in the lining of her coat 'for luck in future love'. it's sort of romantic in a haunted doll kind of way. which btw, she also makes dolls with the hair that accumulates in her hair brush, and felts little creatures out of her cats' fur, habits she got from her grandmother who was into hairwork, a hobby i did not know existed still in our modern years. anyways. hi everybuddy. if you never hear from me again i've been turned into a trinket for her collection

Um.. Superman.. what that thing stuck on your cape?

Clark's brain short circuit for a moment as he just got back of flying at great speed in the middle of deep space to thrown one of Lex's giants bombs destroy the city and come back in record time.

He turn a bit to look at his cape to see a tiny humanoid starlight dust covered child with white hair, glowing full green that look like white specks stars were implanted themselves into his big ol eyes, nawing on a handful of stardust with inhumanly sharp itsy bitsy fangs.

A small yet floating crown that look similar to one of Nasa pictures of far out space.

Did he just accidentally abducted an royal alien child/teen?

My favourite thing is when a character has a ‘can’t act’ trait and you get to watch a good actor have to pretend to be a terrible actor

Phantomish Rogues

Team Phantom get ripped from their home universe into the DCverse. With no money or real ID's in this world. Now thats a problem.

Another big problem is that Danny is badly injured and his core kinda put him into a deep cryo sleep. He needs to rest and gather ectoplasm.

Bigger problem Team Phantom have no clue how to get home because they don't know how to decode the Fenton Portal blue-prints, not even Jazz who at the time didn't pay attention to her parents portal work anymore by the time they finished it. The only one who does have an idea is Danny!

Biggest problem, they landed in a place called Gotham that seems to be overrun with actual villains and heroes? (vigilantes). And for some odd reason many of them seem to find them no matter where the Team goes to hide.

Until they can get their hands on a safe space, tech, and money, Team Phantom might have to go a bit Rogue/Villainous if they wanna keep Danny safe until he wakes up.

Oh, that Peter-Stiles dynamic is just so fascinating. Right off the bat. I remembered that it fascinated me, but I didn't remember that they are fascinating right from the start.

The tension in their first meeting at the hospital. How Peter, who has hurt or killed everyone he encountered so far, just... circles his prey until Derek gets there to defend Stiles.

The way Peter just. Tore into Lydia without a thought. But didn't harm Stiles at all.

The way Peter only bit Scott out of opportunity but wants Stiles in his pack - because Stiles is "the clever one" - and actually offers Stiles the bite. Doesn't force it onto him, fully giving Stiles the choice and then leaving without doing... any harm at all... when Stiles says no.

Obsessed with how obsessed Peter is with Stiles.

One thing I love about Hughie is that he’s the main character, but in such a “y/n” way. Completely unremarkable, ordinary loser who gets dragged into a life of crime and adventure by accident and whom everyone falls in love with upon meeting him, most of the time for absolutely no reason. Butcher wants to be his manic pixie dream psycho so bad, but then also breaks his own back to protect him. Frenchie and MM would kill Butcher if it weren’t for the fact that it’d make Hughie sad. Annie is a 10000/10 and wants to spend the rest of her life singing cringy teen music with him and and easing her way into pegging him. A-Train ended up with his life hopelessly tangled with Hughie’s and can’t seem to let it go. Victoria spent her breaks sharing snacks with him, knowing he’s murdering Supes — and never stopped trusting him, to the point where she came to him when she had every reason to believe he’d want her dead. Soldier Boy literally escaped endless torture and spent 90% of his newly won freedom trying to impress Hughie by putting on a little macho man show for him. The only person who’s truly immune to Hughie and his “putting his hair in a messy bun before getting sold to 1D” charm is Homelander, who genuinely just hates him. Fascinating character design, all in all.

cannot stop thinking about an AU where Bucky gets the same treatment as Steve (ie. serumed and vitarayed.)

So he shoots up to 6' 8" or something ridiculous and is built like a brick shithouse. To everyone else he's almost Too Big, but to Steve it's just like being small again while Bucky is ...Large, and Steve is permanently flustered about it. 😳🥺
