tangled the series is such a frustrating show to be obsessed with for many reasons but one of the reasons is that there is so much worldbuilding that they just didnt care to expand on. there was an entire kingdom that was destroyed, abandoned, and completely forgotten about in a span of 25 years and we're just supposed to accept that. the kingdom supposedly only had three knights, all of whom took an oath to a magical rock that mind controlled them for no apparent reason. the queen of the kingdom died under mysterious circumstances so the king sent his son away to an orphanage instead of giving him to one of the three knights

its so funny when people act like the limewire era was the first time people pirated music, and that 99 cents a song was agreed to by everyone in the world. i guarantee you beyond a shadow of a doubt your parents at the very least KNEW somebody who recorded songs from the radio on to a cassette tape. this was considered the most normal thing in the world to do: you like the song, you record the song, you listen to it again later.

So, since BB!Ivypool will use her newfound deputy status to force a confrontation with Dovewing- how would she react if Dovewing snaps and told her to her face that she never, EVER wanted to speak with her again after everything? Like, would it click for her that even if she deeply regrets the way she treated her sister, no matter how sorry she is its up to Dovewing if she's ever forgiven? Or does she blame Heartstar thinking she turned her sister against her?

Let's pop open the hood of BB!Ivypool and her fucked up little life, and every person she's been leading up to the end of BB!TBC.

All of this starts with her father, Lionblaze, raising her with this axiom; That you are given strength to serve your Clan.

While he used Dovepaw and her powers in service of ThunderClan (often fighting with her mentor, Birchfall), Lionblaze encouraged his daughter to involve herself in Dark Forest training. Ivypaw felt like this was how she "earned" affection from her Ba, with hard work.

Just as Lionblaze believed that his physical abuse at the paw of Ashfur made him stronger, Ivypool also came to believe that growing up thrown to the wolves made her stronger too.

So when Dovewing first started to... not even REJECT the idea, just display any resentment towards it at all, it's like a personal slight.

No one ever fucking listens to Dovewing. No one cares what she wants. Just what she can do for them.

And Ivypool was super part of that. Her mentor is Brightheart, who often overexerts herself as an expression of PTSD. She saw Hawkfrost "die" turning against Tigerstar for the greater good. She sees Bumblestripe "working so hard" to "help Dovewing adjust" while she's losing her hearing.

In her eyes, Dovewing was being selfish. Look at all these people who give EVERYTHING to their Clans-- how dare you try and make it about yourself?

Tigerheart, in and out of their life constantly, gets blamed because it's a lot easier to pin it all on the Evil Codebreaking Foreigner than admit that maybe Dovewing has a point. Ah HA! THERE is the villain responsible for making my sister act weird! I knew it all along!

(Plus Tigerheart and Ivypool got pitted against each other a LOT in DF training because Ivy was Hawkfrost's apprentice and Tigerheart was Tigerstar's, for some incredibly fucked up projection reasons you'd expect of Tunnelbunstar. Ivypool will nonsensically blame Tigerheart like she's a Dinkleberg.)

(Also tbf tigerheart would 100% let her believe it, 1. Because it's funny, and 2. Because it takes the heat off Dovewing)

And Ivypool was VICIOUS about this. AVoS is still getting shuffled but if anything vindictive she did towards Dove in that arc gets removed, I will replace it with something just as bad. She would actively sabotauge ShadowClan if it meant keeping Tigerheart away from Dovewing.

She can't handle the thought of losing Dovewing. At some point, it became about control. It's her insecurity towards herself, towards her family, towards all of her losses, and even towards service of her very Clan.

And then Dovewing booked it. Couldn't handle this shit and panicked and BAILED.

And THEN it's about getting Dovewing BACK. She's even dragged Fernsong into this and tried to leverage his friendship with Dovewing to this end. She'll even support Bumblestripe when he tries to argue for an invalidation of Queen’s Rights on technicality.

Ivypool: "Those kits are Bumblestripe's! He has a claim! They even have HIS MANE"

Heartstar: "Hmm. No, it is very clearly MY mane."

Ivypool: "You can't-- wait what?"

Heartstar: "Lightkit even has my beautiful smile <3 so fuck off, maybe?"

For a long time that's where Ivypool was. She was the awful, vindictive sister-in-law constantly trying to weasel in to make Dovewing feel bad. When she had kittens of her own, she was still in this mindset.

It didn't end well. In BB!TBC, Bristlefrost needed her. Ivypool stepped in to prevent her from being the impostor's pawn, but refused to do anything when she was caught and imprisoned for being in a HalfClan relationship. She needed to be punished as a codebreaker.

Brought to the next Gathering, the impostor reiterated the need to enforce the code, and desperate times calling for desperate measures. He called for SkyClan to punish their own warrior. They refused to make this a public spectacle.

So he sliced open her throat, right on the branch beside him.

Ivypool didn't imagine she would be KILLED. Suddenly her whole world shattered. The moon stayed clear and bright. Her daughter was dead before she hit the ground and she had HERSELF to blame.

Dovewing and Ivypool served in the rebellion together, and eventually Ivy went into the Dark Forest as a Light in the Mist. She watched Bristlefrost die, AGAIN, knocking Ashfur out of the sky and burning them both up in orbit, and how brave Shadowsight had been in pinning him in place.

Ivypool NEEDS Dovewing to know now that she's different. She's learned a lot. She understands so, so much more now...

But DOES she? She still hates Heartstar's guts. She still feels abandoned. How different ARE you now, Ivypool, with your renewed interest in finding some petty reason to skirt around Dovewing's direct wishes? When you're still here getting into blowout arguments with Heartstar?

So to answer the question, if Dovewing told her directly, "I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR DESPERATION. IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR FEELINGS. PISS OFF"

Ivypool would not be able to accept that.

It just wouldn't stick, ever. It really is desperation. Dovewing NEEDS to know that Ivypool loves her and misses her, and that she understands, but also that Heartstar is delusional, and this is still kind of Dovewing's fault. And Ivypool will do anything to make her know this.

But I also DO want to say; this is a very unique weakness. It is Dovewing Derangement Syndrome. Ivypool is a competent deputy, and she is a devoted and respected warrior of ThunderClan. It will be no surprise she's being picked for deputy, especially considering (god willing) Squirrelstar is seeking war with ShadowClan.

She is a good friend, mate, and leader. But BB!Ivypool is so, so fucked in the head about Dovewing. This family can fit so much trauma in it

“sex and the city isn’t realistic” yeah fair but if you ARE a beautiful young woman with three close friends who all have different quirky yet charming personalities who are cutthroat career-focused girlboss women but still are also genuine and earnest in their search for love and connection amidst the changing world around them and spend your weekends going out to exclusive trendy restaurants and drinking expensive wine and talking too much and flirting with waiters and taxi drivers and rich men… idk like it does actually represent that pretty well

8/30/24.

p:ano (Vancouver, British Columbia) were originally an active band in the late 1990s and early 2000s. I've listened to some of their back catalogue and their style was definitely indie, but more on the side of quirky.

Recently, the band reformed and are set to release "ba ba ba" (earlier releases were on Mint Records while this appears to be self-released).

For this release, the Bandcamp notes state that the band leaned into "Yo La Tengo, Low, Belle & Sebastian, The Magnetic Fields, or Stereolab." The only song currently available is the amazing "a bit of coquitiam" which I've listened to about six times today.

Record 03: White Day, 14 March 20XX

Pairing: Primordial God! Chronos x Ananke! Nico di Angelo

Rating: T

Story Summary:

Claymore arched one of his brows in response to the claim. “I don’t see how that’s new, kid. Based on your previous ra- stories, I mean, you’ve been attracting attention since forever,” he stated, occupying one end of the couch. He gingerly sipped from his cup before continuing, “Isn’t there a Will guy?”

Nico frowned almost immediately. “I told you before, Dr. Claymore. Will’s just an annoying acquaintance.”

“There’s also that Connor guy-”

Nico waved a hand dismissively. “Also an annoying acquaintance.”

“-and a Sherman guy-”

“Eww, gross!” Nico exclaimed, making gagging noises.

Alabaster smiled faintly at Nico’s antics, but rolled his eyes to mask his initial reaction. “Point being: Claymore’s right. It’s nothing new.”

periodic reminders for newcomers to the cassette tape:

in most cases, the OLDER the MACHINE, the BETTER. once tapes stopped being popular (due to new things like CDs gaining popularity instead) the quality of new tape recorders/players DROPPED, meaning modern machines are VERY BAD. the highest quality of recorders/players are from times of intense competition of tape-vs-tape, not tape-vs-CD or tape-vs-spotify. Grab something from the 1980s, and you'll be golden.

the TAPES THEMSELVES can be as new and cheap as you'd like though! tapes are really "idiot proof", and will work fine no matter who made them, especially if you're only buying them for personal use.

finally, remember: a walkman can not record. recorders are usually bigger than tape players. recorders have a record button. that doesn't mean a walkman is useless. but if you're trying to record, you need a recorder. recorders are also able to play tapes, so if you're buying just one device, get a recorder.
