#spoilers for everything

[sudzie-void]

Maybe this is 3:30 AM brain, but nobody ever talks about how Mace from LOA pulls some of the biggest power moves (whether that be accidental or intentional)(spoilers for Icebound and Once Upon a Witchlight):

Gideon's entire character backstory is one power move, because yeah trauma that occasionally gets mentioned and affects his motives, but he literally took the chains that imprisoned him, upgraded them, and then slaughtered his captors with them. And he still wears them to this day and uses them to kill and control people!

Also his entire interaction Lorna and pulling the move with her tea kettle, right in front of her, while his husband tries to charisma check his way out of the situation, dude. (Kept vague on purpose, but if you know you know)

Also Taishen, he baby, but he also looked at an eldritch being that is far older and far more powerful than him and any of his friends, that has done absolute unspeakable things, with most of his friends on the verge of death, and tried to defeat it with a 4th level spell he had never used before and w o n.

Dudes, this man rolls absolutely terribly, and still manages to pull of these power moves and I love him for it.

nobody on god's green earth writes/portrays kvk the way you do and it makes me insane. YOU get it. transmasc bottom knives superiority REAL.

you utterly flatter me ;;; i've marinated my brain in their dynamic for a truly inadvisable amount of time and made up SO many weird and highly specific headcanons for how their bodies and clashing personalities come together, so i'm really thankful it resonates!

talking about trans themes in trigun always makes me abnormal lol so please forgive me for posting the most unhinged powerpoint i've ever made in response to your very sweet compliment.

⚠ heavy spoilers and incessant discussion of mpreg. ⚠

okay there are a lot of "the Mechanisms were the Archivist's college band" headcannons. And I think they're really silly and fun. But sometimes I think about the Mechanisms being the Archivist's band during or after TMA.

For the moment I'm just thinking about Jon, any version of this becomes very complicated if you try to work the other band members who are also TMA va's in. I'm going to try but it's a story for a separate post and I want to think about it for Jon regardless of how nonsensical it is for everyone else.

I just think there's a lot of potential to lean into the fact that they're recognizably two stories by partially the same guy. Jon taking inspiration from his own experiences to write mechs songs... maybe even venting some of his own anxiety into songs? healthy coping mechanisms for the archivist? pun intended?

Like, a lot of these albums end very apocalyptically, especially the bifrost incident (but all of them really). If the archivist was in the mechanisms basically anytime from late s3 to your post-cannon of choice, that could be him trying to process his fear of the rituals succeeding.

And Um. The Bifrost Incident is my favorite and also the one I think would be most interesting in a the archivist is in the mechanisms universe. Jon always had a bit of a "a ritual succeeding eventually is inevitable" attitude, especially in s5 where they're debating sending the fears away but also before then. So i really really like the idea of him writing Loki and Sigyn, who can't prevent the elder gods from breaking into the world, they can only delay it for the length of their lifetimes, and that delay is treated like it still matters. I like the idea of the Archivist looking at Loki and Sigyn and going "that's us" and feeling that that's comforting. I don't know if this is s3 jon planning to prevent the unknowing, s4 jon worrying about the extinguished sun and the watcher's crown, some au where jon and martin stay in the original universe after getting the fears out of our world and jon feels like he's doomed countless universes, some postcannon where jon and martin are in one of those doomed universes...

but like. I think it would be really sweet regardless.

Miles to Go Before I Sleep

Summary: The gift of One For All came with a price. And because he was the quirk’s last holder, Izuku was the world’s last chance to defeat All For One. Like it or not, even though his license was only provisional, he was a hero now. He had to be. He would fight All For One, and he would win. There was no other option.

But that didn’t mean he’d survive the experience.

Midoriya leaves UA to search for Shigaraki and All For One, determined to finally defeat All For One, no matter what it takes.

Chapter Seven

Deku stood in the otherwise empty Memorial Plaza in Kamino Ward, staring up in shock at the Memorial to Peace.

He’d been gone less than an hour. Only a matter of minutes.

Minutes.

And in the time he’d been gone, the statue at All Might had been defaced. Vandalized.

No. It was worse than that.

It had been desecrated.

Deku had spent a long time that afternoon standing in the square, looking up at the memorial to the Symbol of Peace. It had been carved from a single, enormous piece of granite, and somehow out of the rock the artist had managed to capture not only the likeness of the world’s most famous hero, complete with his distinctive hairstyle and his ever-present smile, but his mentor’s spirit as well, his caring soul as well as his physical strength, everything that the hero showed to the world.

But Deku knew All Might was far more than that. To Deku, he was more than a hero, more than an idol. He was a teacher, a mentor, a father figure.

A friend.

And it hurt to see him treated so badly, even if it was just a statue of the man and not the man himself.

She remade her, she held her bones in her hands and put each piece back together. Only to have to carry on without her.

Everything she did, she did for Falin

Thinking a LOT about Lucifer in the latest Hazbin episode. Idk what I was expecting but not this??

As I was watching my immediate thought was just "huh... Lucifer is kinda of weird..." but as the episode went on I realized the issue

the dude is off the chain depressed, like he says it as a joke but holy cow it is SO BAD

He's manically just creating rubber ducks cuz his daughter really like it that one time but it's empty, it's never good enough but he keeps doing it, maybe cuz he doesn't know how to pass the time otherwise.

like I get the feeling he HAS better things he SHOULD be doing than making rubber duck after rubber duck. At first I was like, "Bruh why isn't the king of hell doing anything?" aaaaand then it became clear...

The dude is disassociating so bad he can barely hold a conversation let alone remember information. He clearly WANTS to, he wants to be involved with his daughter so bad, he wants to care about the things she's doing so bad, but his depression keeps interfering. It's like he can only hear every other word and he grasps onto the ones he does hear semi-out of context. Like you can see every time he catches something that he hadn't before and he just "well shit I didn't catch that part"

and that's why he reacts so weird when people talk to him. He is struggling so bad to engage with the conversation he's only getting 50% of it

does that look like the face of a man who knows what the hell the conversation is even about??? he is STRUGGLING

like Charlie spent so long telling him about the hotel, and he STILL didn't understand what she wanted. Yeah it comes off as ditzy but literally I've been in that position where your brain just "nope, not doing this right now" and nerfs your conversation comprehension. So as someone who's BEEN in that position, to me it feels exactly like what he's dealing with. He's sorta engaged with the conversation, but only as much as his brain will allow

For example, when I'm dealing with this, this is what someone talking to me feels like this where the crossed out parts are what I missed and bold is what I catch, "Hey! You know I was thinking for dinner we could either make some chicken with rice? But if you don't feel like cooking, pasta is super easy and you love that right? What do you want to do?" you can kinda get that someone is trying to talk to you about dinner, and towards the end you get the impression that they asked something that needs your input so you can decently put 2 and 2 together and try and pass off, but crucial bits were left out, I would have no idea that either chicken or pasta is in the conversation only having heard "rice". When someone is just talking at me, I can decently pass off as being engaged but the second I'm required to participate in the conversation I'm screwed. Seem familiar? At which point I have 2 options, try to give a bullshit answer, or admit that I missed what they were saying and ask them to repeat

Lucifer, unfortunately, is trying so damn hard to hide that he's dealing with like 24/7 dissociation, so he can't admit that he's missing entire chunks of the conversation, hence his really weird replies. He does eventually get the full picture and then he and Charlie start having the real conversation

Also, the Alastor/Lucifer rivalry was hilarious but also really indicative of more of what Lucifer is dealing with

Alastor is, unfortunately, really good at picking up people's insecurities, and thanks to Charlie's description earlier and watching Lucifer clearly trying to overcompensate, he immediately picks up on the fact that Lucifer KNOWS he struggles to be a good dad (we know cuz it's cuz of the depression, hard to be engaged when your brain keeps turning off) and decides to rub salt in the wound by pretending he's been acting as a surrogate father to Charlie. Now why Alastor decided to pick a fight with the king of hell is beyond me, I do not understand Alastor (and I LIKE IT) (maybe it's cuz Alastor thinks he's hot shit and was expecting Lucifer to at least have heard of him but Lucifer just treats him like a nobody? who knows)(why would Lucifer listen to radio anyways when he can't even pay attention to a conversation it'd just be white noise)

But yeah I just was expecting someone who oozed either charisma or presence and instead I got a depressed dad who's dissociating so bad he can barely function and be present in his life. The only thing it seems he CAN do is make rubber ducks cuz his daughter really liked it that one time

Idk Lucifer is tragic to me. Whatever the full details of what heavan did to him absolutely broke him and he can't deal with it. He's aware of it, and he doesn't know how to fix it, so he tries to over compensate and sorta makes an ass out of himself but no one says or does anything cuz this guy is supposed to be THE king of hell

Suddenly it's making a lot more sense why he just rolls over and lets heaven do what it wants and even told Charlie to go in his place the start of the show. He's not in any headspace to hold a basic conversation let alone negotiate! He didn't even know who Alastor was, he's been so out of touch

idk I like him, he seems sweet, I hope Charlie brings some light back into his life. He really needs to get out of that rubber duck room
