Thinking about Thaniel and Halsin reuniting again when he wakes.

Thinking about how Halsin describes Thaniel as having been ripped away from him (just as he was from Oliver). How he was the only one able to see and interact with him; how Halsin is very insistent that Thaniel made him who he became. How Halsin's "very first friend" being an encapsulation of nature itself affected the entire trajectory of his life. How that implies, to me, that Halsin and Thaniel were connected on a level far stronger and more significant than just being unlikely playmates as children - even moreso than just Halsin deciding to become his protector as he aged, or the implication of the relationship becoming more along the lines of a parent and child - to the point of being so interconnected and intertwined, Thaniel evidently uprooted and followed Halsin from the High Forest to its own unpredicted detriment.

Thaniel's being cursed and trapped quite literally *did* rip the two of them away from one another, just as tearing Thaniel's being in two twisted and created Oliver. Halsin feels a hole in his absence - a loneliness and disconnect that eats away at him. He describes losing contact with Thaniel all that time ago as being "worst of all", which is saying a lot considering what else was happening to and around Halsin at the time. And all Thaniel talked about whilst trapped was Halsin, insisting to find him because he was the only one who an entire force of nature itself believed could help it.

Losing Thaniel sent Halsin into a century long spiral; Halsin who blames himself for "dawdling" in his own pain as it suffered. Who could almost place himself in the catalyst of Ketheric Thorm's tragedy of losing his daughter pushing him to the edge. It's the elevated metaphorical adult fear of losing a child and the indescribable sorrow involved in that, mixed with the loss of an important childhood and formative influence, mixed with losing a friend, a piece of oneself, all in one.

I just imagine Halsin twitching in his skin to head immediately back to camp after convincing Oliver to return. Distractedly following behind, but evidently elsewhere, until he is dismissed or the group returns. And he is first to arrive and first to break off to his tent, pulling aside the cloth, lacking any considerable delicacy of action, to see Thaniel sitting up, blinking slowly at his surroundings. Alive; the smell of lavender heavy and sweet. Not dead and rotting, not twisted and empty. Small. Frail. Not quite whole. But alive.

And Halsin...hesitates on the threshold, hands shaking, everything having come to its head at last and he doesn't know what to do with himself. He holds his breath, fearful of any disturbance spooking the life away that they'd worked so hard to revive, until Thaniel turns its eye slowly towards him. Two deer caught in a crosspath of light. A century past and there are hundreds of things to do, hundreds of things he had planned to say to him if they succeeded, but all Halsin can manage is a strained: "It's me."

And he does not need to say who he is; Thaniel knows. All those rehearsed things fizzle away in its face. Halsin is older now, he reasons, much older; perhaps Thaniel will not recognize the century carved upon his brow just as Oliver had not. In a moment of desperation, he needs it to know him. Needs Thaniel to remember - but, fool that he is to underestimate the power of life before him, of course he remembers. Of course Thaniel would recognize him, just as he had recognized him after the long winter had passed - when he had changed so much, and was no longer a little elfling and never would be again. Just as Thaniel had recognized him every springtime after, the thawing of ice bringing another year with it, even as its face did not change at all. It must; his eyes betrayed the centuries beneath his boots, even as the child rubbed fitfully at them.

"It's me," Halsin murmurs again, falling to his knees - as if he could make himself impossibly smaller - bring him back to the beginning, turn back the years before it all went wrong. And Thaniel just nods its head and touches little hands to his face, and when he echos his name, it feels like that first thaw of spring again.

"I heard you calling," it whispers, gentle like summer breezes. "You cried for me to stop hiding. You were frightened and did not wish to play anymore. But when I came out, it had gotten dark. I could not find you."

"I know."

"I called back," he continues, even and intoned, but his lip wobbles. "You could not hear me.

"I know," Halsin repeats, brokenly.

Thaniel blinks a few more times, seemingly working out how to reteach a face long asleep, though there were no muscles to move. A false start later, a twitch of the nose, and he is...smiling. "But I kept trying - I knew you would find me."

A single stick too heavy and the dam breaks. Eyes filled with tears, he hugs Thaniel to him like he hadn't since they were children chasing each other through the underbrush with glitters of gold tangled in his hair. Since Thaniel had guided his hand to make the flowers in his father's garden grow. Since all they'd had was each other under the endless canopy of trees.

"Forgive me," Halsin whispers, a century of pain and loss and loneliness exiting from him in a single rush, the cold empty spaces inside him filling up with warmth. And at last he wakes, dragged violently into the open air after drowning for too long, blinded but alive and whole once again. Interconnected; not alone anymore. The earth sings beneath him and Oliver's spirit hovers just beyond the outskirts of his vision. Halsin chokes on his laugh. "I was never very good at this game."

An appreciation post for Then I See You Again. That song slaps. I love Something to Believe In but TISYA is so much more vulnerable and heartfelt 😭

Oh and Kara and Jeremy’s chemistry was crazy in it.

so after making my post about Kara's Danny, here's a hugely belated post about Melanie's Danny (Alt. Mrs Danvers in Rebecca London) because I got to see her at long last

- she's so TALL MY GOSH she had such presence in every scene, she absolutely towered over Ich and kept getting up in her face so she could Look Down On Her

- 'your costume suggestion! the whole thing was a calculated malicious plot!' the first time Ich properly SHOUTED, and as Danny turned away, she actually grinned to herself, this little secret moment of victory just for the audience to see, like she was relishing finally getting a proper rise out of Ich. honestly obsessed with how all the London Dannys aren't just unapologetic but delighted with themselves over this awful awful thing they do to Ich.

- one of the times when Favell tried to touch her, she SWIPED her arm away, and there was also one line during their argument that she stopped singing and just, like, snarled the line at him?? what an absolute queen???? rip Favell

- BALCONY SCENE ASKDJALJSDAS okay so I've talked about Kara!Danny delivering the first few lines of that scene as though she's talking to herself, before snapping out of it. but Melanie!Danny seemed spend the entire scene oscillating between talking to Ich and then talking to herself again (possibly implying that even Danny herself doesn't know?), because at the end she grabbed Ich's hand and led them both forward to jump together - then the rockets fired and she snapped out of it. very intense. my heart was beating so fast afterwards lol.

- Rebecca IIII she made it all about numb shock and then a sudden burst of RAGE, during the line 'what's the point of this house, or my life' she literally raised her arms and slammed them against the staircase like she wanted to tear Manderley apart with her bare hands. good for her.

- Rebecca IIII she opted down on the two big notes?? which was surprising, because I feel like she would have aced them, but also I totally respect that performers always option down with good reason

devastated that this production has closed. I miss it already.

Hi! I’ve recently visited your page again, after a longer tumblr break and saw your posts about people’s comments on your fics. It made me both sad and angry. Sad because they’ve managed to take away your joy for writing Supercorp and angry that people feel like they can type out any hurtful thought that goes through their head, for a thing that is absolutely free and made with so much passion and care. 😒🤬

For what it’s worth, I always loved the way you write both of them. AND the fact that you don’t ignore Kara’s trauma and struggles. “i’m spilling all my words (but you keep 'em to yourself)” will forever be one of my favorites. Thank you for the hours of joy and fun you have given us! I hope you know that for every entitled commenter there are ten times more people who love your works! 🫵🏻🤘🏻

ahh thank you so much, i appreciate this. i have to say, sc still has me by the neck, i do plan to finish that fic & maybe write some more but it won't be anytime soon. i had hoped that the fandom would calm down with the kara hate after the show ended but i was wrong, it still hasn't changed.

when you've been writing for sc for so long, the frustration builds up, & there have been many times where i felt like i needed to (& did) restrict myself when writing them. it stops being enjoyable when people are constantly calling kara 'stupid' & insult her in many different ways for not being the happy sunshine kara danvers who takes care of lena all the time.

personally i love reading & writing the reverse situation (lena who's being the patient loving one & also the shoulder for kara to lean on) because the show didn't give us enough of that. unfortunately, people don't respond well whenever kara is struggling with her issues & lena isn't the one who's being comforted.

i write what i like & that's what i'm always going to do, but this build up of frustration over the past years & always anticipating kara hate every fic/chapter killed the joy a lot.

i've seen some authors speak about this too & it's genuinely sad to see! people can like & dislike whatever but it's important to note that there are readers out there who don't realize that their personal feelings against kara also affect authors & their love for writing supercorp

Maybe it’s time for Kara to try this gauntlet instead of Supergirl.

[purplerider]

maybe i'm biased, but how is touko the best type moon villain/antihero yet? i do love the writing of all the villains, but for some reason, touko hit so much more, i love everything about her character

Tell me you wouldn't do the same for the woman you love. (x)

I know it’s bare minimum for people to support the LGBTQ+ community but like seeing that ‘Ally’ tag on Larry’s stream always makes me very very happy :)

kara sitting down just to watch the supercorp scenes in supergirl. one of us 💕💞💘💗💓💖

[oddly-casual]

I’m too tired to fully like flesh this out but the Todomatsu and Osomatsu parallels are like the best thing ever.

And you see Todomatsu do everything he can to set himself apart from his brothers and Todomatsu comments on Osomatsu’s shitty behavior almost as often as Choromatsu, but despite all that Todomatsu looks up to his eldest brother and it’s the cutest thing on the planet.

Like they stay up late watching stupid YouTube videos to the annoyance of others, they goad each other into buying condoms they’re never gonna use, they laze around the house and bond over how much they want to be pampered.

And if that isn’t enough like Todomatsu subconsciously picks things up from Osomatsu, like tying his jumpsuit around his waist and it’s just so so sweet.

They even worry about their family in the same way. In the movie when it came to giving advice to their younger selves Osomatsu and Todomatsu were the only ones who worried heavily about their family and their place as brothers, and they were the only ones to reassure each other that they would stick together. (Though Todomatsu’s relationship with his brothers and identity is just a tad healthier then Osomatsu’s)

And we have like a plethora of examples of Todomatsu loving his brothers secretly or in a low key way but with Osomatsu he seems to hide it and undercut it a lot less. (That makes certain scenes hit harder but I don’t have the emotional strength to deal with that rn)

I’m just a sucker for the younger looks up to the older sibling but would rather throw themselves off the bridge then admit it troupe
