Christ okay, so for AGES now, ever since I first got into trying to track all the references in VnC, Mikhail's name has been haunting me.
Just about every major VnC character name is a reference to something from literature and/or history, and most of those references are pretty obvious. It's not just some of them; it's pretty much a universal thing for any character of note.
However, for a while now, Misha has seemed frustratingly like an exception. There is a serious dearth of characters named Misha or Mikhail in the historical eras and literary canons that Mochijun tends to pull from. I've been failing to find anything for a while, and I haven't seen any other fans picking out things he could be in reference to either. He's just this apparent weird exception, despite the fact that he's an important and extremely thematically relevant character.
But today I finally realized something. The spelling is different, but there is one decently famous literary character named Misha that works as a decent parallel to VnC's Mikhail—Mischa Lecter from the Hannibal series.
For those unfamiliar, in the book version of Hannibal, Mischa Lecter's entire narrative purpose is to be the younger sibling whose horrific death motivates Hannibal Lecter's violent revenge quest. The rest of the Lecter family is killed before the children, leaving Hannibal and Mischa alone in the world together with nobody else to rely on. Then Mischa is killed and cannibalized, and thus begins her brother's career as a killer cannibal.
It's not exactly a one to one parallel, but "desperate young siblings are trapped together in a horrible situation, and then the younger sibling Mischa dies, leaving the older brother alone and vengeful" does sound rather familiar, doesn't it? As remember, according to Vanitas, our Mikhail is supposed to be dead.
It's a weird and obscure enough comparison that I'm not about to declare I've solved the mystery for certain, but personally I've yet to find a better explanation for our Misha's name. After all, the French version of Michael is usually Michel, so Mochijun choosing specifically the Russian version of the name, then having Mikhail insist on going by "Misha" is a rather conspicuous choice. There has to be a reason for what's going on there.

Fixing Lila Rossi
Oh boy, do I hate Lila. Not only is she a bad character, but she's a badly written character too which is a far worse crime imo.
At first, I was tempted to just write her out entirely but then I thought, "What the hell, might as well see if I could make her work" and I'm glad I did.
In the show, Lila is a conniving manipulator. She is constantly scheming, but why? Her reasons for what she does are never made very clear, but that's not her biggest crime.
Lila joins the class randomly and immediately begins lying and deceiving. When Marinette discovers this, Lila begins attacking her and when Marinette speaks up about this, everyone sides with Lila, including Marinette's best friend. For so many episodes, for so many seasons, Lila is a cruel manipulator, and that entire time Marinette and Adrien, two of the most well-liked people in the entire class, are ignored when they speak up against Lila.
I think this is all incredibly dumb and it makes me very angry to think about it so I reworked her character entirely.
The first thing I figured out was Lila's motivations. Why is she the way she is? What are her goals? How far is she willing to go to get what she wants?
The easy conclusion I came to was that Lila wants the luxurious glory of wealth. She comes from a poor family where she's been neglected and pushed to the side her whole life. She wants the power that comes from money. She wants people to look at her and envy her like she has done to others her whole life.
But the more I thought about Lila the more I realized her motivations are more than that.
Her whole life has been lived in uncertainty. She never knew if she would be getting dinner that day or if she'd be able to stay in her home. She never knew if her parents were in a caring mood or a cruel one. She never had any control over her life, and she is tired of it.
Lila wants money because it gives her control, but she also wants to control people. She befriends people to get what she wants or to gather information to force them to do what she wants. She never lets anyone have a leg up on her, because that is surrendering control.
Even if the person she is interacting with doesn't play a role in her master plan, she doesn't want to risk the chance that they might. Vulnerability and authenticity give people access to Lila, to the things that anger her and make her sad, and so she never lets anyone in.
Yes, Lila is driven by a desire to accumulate wealth and fame, but those are just pieces of the larger puzzle. Ultimately, Lila has lived a life where she is powerless and she decided years ago that she would rather be dead than continue to live at the whim of others.

Last night I cried, and I mean UGLY cried at a foul hour because I love Albert Wesker and I hate it. (/Lh)
Tumblr media
Like first off, the man's name is Albert??? Need I say more? But then, his name is kinda gothic when you say his full name. I don't know if that's just me. But just simply referring to him as Albert is goofy as fuck considering he's supposed to be a villain in RE. Not only that, he's got paper thin lips. How's he gonna get a kiss kiss??☝️🤨/ref
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But it wasn't only that, mind you, it's also because this absolute FUCK, this evil David Bowie and Johnny bravo looking mother fucker, has consumed my life and every waking thought that sometimes it genuinely hurts and that's what I hate about being autistic. It's just how much I want to consume of something once it becomes a special interest and/or hyperfixation. On top of that, Wesker is a special case for me because I found out I technically trauma bonded to him as a comfort character. For the past year and a half now, I got back into RE because of the RE4R and began hyperfixating on said game then it spiraled into hyperfixating about the Wesker's storyline, with project W and so on. I already have a tendency to go back to RE periodically every like two or so years but this has low-key been probably the longest I've consistently fixated on RE without a single break in-between. My dad and I bonded over resident evil, he's one of the people who got me into RE, albeit he watched the movies and I got into the game's. Which means RE means a whole lot to me and since he passed my fixation on it only heightened as a source of comfort. I also found out when you have a comfort character during a horrible period in your life, you very well can trauma bond with said character. So that means out of all characters, I have trauma bonded to Albert Wesker and I am two seconds away from tweaking. 🤩
On top of that, every time @rainbowroadonsteroids sends me something remotely Wesker related I start punching my wall and they bully me for it smh./Lh+nm
Tumblr media
Shout out to my favorite human nightlight, Albert Wesker. ☝️🗿

[percy x annabeth]
home is where i want to be (but i guess i'm already there) by percivaljackson (3/3 | 57,751 | M)
“Annabeth panic-lied to her step-mom about being in a quote ‘stable and emotionally available’ relationship, and now she has to bring her imaginary lover home for New Year’s,” Piper explains, bringing her hands up behind her head and looking thoroughly amused. Jason nods, like this is a totally average occurrence. “You should bring Percy.” “That’s what I said,” Leo interjects. Annabeth buries her face in her hands. (welcome to the no powers au / fake dating au / annabeth chase character study tug of war. who knows which one it is. not me!)

The Way Faith Dies
By Silvermags @silvermags
On Archive Of Our Own
Status: Complete; Oneshot; 698 words
Summary: You don't lose faith. It dies for lack of care.
My thoughts: I like this interpretation of Susan’s character more than I do a lot of them. I feel like this holds more true to the real problem that underlies Susan’s exclusion from Narnia than others. It’s not about lipsticks and nylon; it’s about letting life twist your values.

circumscribe, eight-two-five
by noirshitsuji on ao3
Rating: T | Category: F/M, Gen | Relationship: Quill/Jessica
The Other Side will never leave him.
There will still be days – months, years after it’s all over – when he’ll wake up well-rested after a long, long night, and London will be so foggy he’ll be convinced, for half a second, that he’s finally dead for good. Any minute now, he'll have Jaina and Maya and Ned and Jess knocking on his bedroom door, ready to drag him out for coffee, a catch-up, and an earful.
And then Kipps will stretch out a bit, feel the early-onset back pain again, and cuss out as loud as he likes before getting up and getting on.
Or: Quill Kipps has a life that only makes sense when told in fragments.

Lila’s Story
Season 1:
She is introduced with the rest of the class, she blends in, she is no one special.
A few episodes in, she gets her "solo" episode. Basically a lot of the more background characters (like Juleka, Milene, whoever you know) have episodes "about" them where they get akumatized because of some minor conflict. Lila talks about how she was bullied at her previous school and now by Chloe and doesn't have any friends, gets akumatized, is saved and everyone tries to make her feel included. She fades into the background and isn't mentioned again for the season.
The bedroom scene also happens here (more on that later).
Season 2:
She doesn't really appear at all, just living in the background
There is one episode where it opens with the bathroom scene (again, more on that later), I think kinda partially during the mid-season finale idk idc and then during the big mid season finale a new miraculous holder appears. This is Lila as Volpina, except she doesn't actually have the fox miraculous and is just akumatized to appear that way. We also can't really tell it's Lila, like looks wise anyways. She's got a big mask on that kinda like covers the top half of her face but like context clues make it so its kinda obvious its her. She is basically the akumatized villain for those episodes and flees before anyone can ID her/deakumatize her so the characters don't know it was her.
The Chloe episodes happen where we learn abt Chloe's mom and everything, People are conflicted about Chloe, not sure whether they should try and help her and give her the benefit of the doubt or put her down and like reject her. Lila insists they help Chloe, that everyone deserves a chance to be included, and thus, she starts to befriend Chloe (This is the very end of season 2)
Season 3:
Starts off by establishing Lila is friends with Chloe. At some point maybe she and Chloe go on a trip together (like during the Shang Hai special they were traveling to American or some shit) and are besties. (Lila spent this time tracking down info about the miraculous but was actually traveling with Chloe)
Lila has a solo moment where she is trying to get hawkmoth's attention, hoping to get akumatized. Her wishes are not granted. Maybe this is the bathroom scene take 2 but that feels off to me might revamp the timing of all this later.
Eventually, Lila slips up and reveals too much to Chloe about her intentions to do evil things. It really isn't a big deal and Chloe doesn't even realize that she said something out of place. But Lila can't take chances so she
Turns on Chloe. This is near the end of the season. She talks about how awful Chloe is/was to her while she was just trying to do good but it is hopeless she is just too mean and the class turns on Chloe again, thus having Chloe revert back to how she was at the begining of the show
Season ends with Lila betraying LB and stealing the miraculous to give to hawkmoth. (This could be why marinette/adrien dont trust her because they knew she lied this whol time as a hero so maybe she is lieing irl too. Lila doesn't know LB/Chat's secret identities of course)
Might shift Lila's betrayal of Chloe to much later.
Season 4:
Lila has earned the trust of most of the class (minus chloe/sabrina and mari/adrien and Alya/Nino bc they trust their besties). It isn't full on civil war within the class but there is tension. Lila doesn't do much to instigate conflict.
She continues to work with Hawkmoth, slowly gathering more information. Maybe she refuses to give him the miracle box unless he reveals his identity to her or something like that so she can continue to have leverage over him.
By the big final conflict, she has a lot of information on everything and desperately wants a miraculous to make everything better. She wants to make herself special and rich and perfect and powerful and in control, but she gets sloppy, and thus, is killed when she tries to go against hawkmoth
I think there should also be scene before her final conflict with hawkmoth where she is getting desperate and frantic and ends up trying to turn the class against Mari and co. Maybe Marinette is trying to get the class to help stop her because she found out Lila is a supervillain and Lila tries to get the classmates to back her but she slips up in how she talks/acts and they all start to see through her facade.

Fatui Zhongli Info Dump
      Is he part of the Harbingers? Potentially, and if he is he’d be considered the 12th but it is kept on the down low that there even is a 12th. Though, if he is one, his name is known as Il Drago.
      Zhongli owns a delusion. Either as a means to blend in more within the Fatui? Or to make things more interesting is unknown. He has his own reasons for having one. But when it is made public knowledge it is a Pyro delusion. Mixing well with his Geo affinity for various reasons.
      It isn’t known throughout the Fatui that he is part of their organisation. It wouldn’t look well if word got out that Zhongli, the consultant for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor was an official member and not just a simple business partner as originally believed to be.
      His Archon status? Unknown by many within the organisation. Even by the Harbingers themselves. It’s on a need to know basis or if he feels like revealing it to someone. Still, the few people who do know would be the few subordinates he has, Signora (rip but she dead) and Tartaglia. Pierro most likely knows as well as he seems to be considered the leader of the Harbingers from what we know.
      The events of the Liyue Archon quest are mostly the same. A more in depth post will be made about this eventually.
      The ‘contract’ he created from what we know is different which will also be explained in more depth later. Some things are different but I haven’t figured that bit out. But it would still include ensuring his people can thrive without him so that he is able to participate more with Fatui activities without risk of being caught.
      With the events, Signora learnt who he was first followed by Tartaglia. Both would have learnt shortly after that the entire thing was essentially a hoax when it was ‘requested’ that the Gnosis was returned when a briefing happened. Probably... His relationships with the two are probably rocky. Not like he communicated with Signora much as she went straight to Inazuma and died. Tartaglia on the other hand? He did grow close to him over so it’s hard to say. He does at least consider him an acquaintance after everything.
      He still has his Gnosis which means strength wise, he still is at his prime as an Archon even if believed to be dead.  With due time the Tsaritsa will receive it for her end goal as promised.  
      He’s a shapeshifter, it makes infiltration and obtaining information a lot more easier. He does have another standard appearance so he isn’t immediately recognised. But if you’re an individual who is well verses in Liyues Archon, the signs of who he is gives him away usually. That’s if you know how to look for them.
      He isn’t the Zhongli we really know in game. He tends to have more of his ‘Morax’ persona on show at times. The war God. Someone who has no qualms with taking someone out if they just so happen to pry their nose into places they should not or learn of things they shouldn’t.
      Like the Tsaritsa, he essentially has issues with Celestia. Especially since the Cataclysm that occurred 500 years ago.
