here’s my theory: ocean originally started the choir for constance
i will elaborate
i think that constance has always loved performing and the performing arts: acting, singing, dancing. outside the mind-control death scenario and the choir, we don’t really see two of those. however, in the 2016 production, she plays the part of mary in the school’s nativity play (this is when noel breaks into waiting for godot). she tries to steer it back on track while staying in character, and while this could be her “being a good girl” in part, i think it’s also her wanting to stay in the role. this is something she cares about and, while she’s don’t stupid, this matters to her more than school.
additionally, i think the way that sugar cloud is staged like a concert (particularly in the part where the choir sings “i used to think that life was just a jawbreaker” and she has that belty ad-lib) also adds to this idea of a desire to perform. plus her presenting the song the choir performs before each intro number, rather than ocean. sure, ocean presents the choir, but constance introduces the song itself.
so, from this, i believe that constance has an interest in the performing arts. as a result, i like to think that ocean thought “two birds, one stone” in making a club that could make her friend happy and having something to put on college applications (presuming canadian college apps are the same as those from the us). so, she starts up the st cassian’s chamber choir and upop (from later editions of the show).
but, even with the best intentions, ocean starts to overshadow constance. part of it is accidental, it isn’t her fault that most satb arrangements are written to highlight the soprano. she only wanted to be a leader, and constance just wanted to be involved. ocean, mostly unintentionally, starts to belittle constance’s ideas.
i think this might be why they have such a fractured relationship during the show. is it possible that a lot of little things created tension between them in the “you punched me in the fricking boob” scene? definitely. however, i think it’s possible that they had a fight on the day of the fall fair. ocean paraded around the victory she lead them to, kept talking about how she was the queen of the choir. and while constance didn’t confront her, she was a lot more… distant. maybe even a little snide. ocean could hear that something was a little off with her, but she couldn’t place what, and she definitely didn’t think it wasn’t her fault. constance still sat next to her on the cyclone, ocean doing another thing for constance.
and then they died. both blaming the other for their misfortune. not knowing what was really going on in the other’s brain. but this story has a happy ending, or maybe it’s bittersweet. you’ve seen the show, you know how it goes. there is no other way this story could end.

“The Other Side” (Touchstarved OC Rewrite)
So I made a parody of "The Other Side" from The Greatest Showman with my Touchstarved Hound OC, Alon. Here, she's trying to partner up with Mhin to — as thieves are wont to do — pull off a Senobium caper, but it takes a bit of back and forth with someone who's so used to being on their own.
Alon: Right here, right now, I put the offer out.
I don't wanna chase you down but I know you see it.
We form a team and we will find the key
To all the answers we both know we’re seekin'.
So trade that tragical for somethin' magical (Mhin: Tragical’s not a word.)
And if it's crazy, live a little crazy!
You can try the same old schtick and hope that something finally clicks.
Or change the game and schtick with me…
Alon: Don't you wanna get away
From this Lowtown part you gotta play?
Then I got what you need, so come with me, we’ll pull a heist!
It’ll take you to the other side!
'Cause you can do like you do or you can run with me.
Stay in the dark or you finally take a leap.
Oh, damn! Suddenly you're free to fly!
We’ll get us to the other side!
Mhin: Okay, my friend, you want to count me in.
Well, I hate to tell you but it just won't happen.
So thanks, but no. I think I'm good to go.
‘Cause I quite like the dark you say I'm trapped in.
I’ll say it’s bold of you, this crazy plot you brewed.
That nerve is something, really, it's something.
But I work best alone, and your plan sounds like a joke at most —
We can’t afford to play the fools.
Mhin: Don't you know that I'm okay
With this Lowtown part I have to play?
'Cause I take what I need and I don't need a ride-or-die.
I will take myself to the other side.
So go and do as you do. Run off and leave me be.
No need for change, you can go on and keep your key.
Oh, damn, can't you see I'm doing fine?
I don’t need your help to save my life.
Alon: Now is this really how you plan to get past those gates?
‘Nother vine, ‘nother try to carry all of the weight?
Mhin: If I join up with you,
Someone is bound to get hurt.
We could die, be confined, try choosing which one is worse!
Alon: Or we could finally win a little, finally breathe a little.
We could take back our freedom to dream
And it’ll clear a path to cure our achin'.
Take our curses, start 'em breakin'.
Now that's a change that seems worth embracin’!
But I guess I'll leave that up to you…?
Mhin: …Fine, you’ve intrigued me, but my services are costly.
So how much actual coin would you be offering?
Alon: Fair enough, you want insurance for the action.
Seven gold, come on, let’s shake and make it happen!
Mhin: I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine.
Alon: Ack! Why not just ditch the heist and try to bribe your way inside?
Mhin: Fifteen.
Alon: I'd do eight!
Mhin: Twelve.
Alon: Maybe nine.
Mhin: Ten.
Both: Don't you wanna get away
To a whole new part you're gonna play?
Then I got what you need, so come with me, we’ll take the ride
To the other side!
So you can do like you do or you can run with me.
Forget the gates 'cause we’re going to take the leap!
Oh, damn, suddenly we're free to fly.
We're going to the other side!
Mhin: So if you do like I do (Alon: To the other side)
So if you do like me (Alon: We're goin' to the other side)
Both: 'Cause if we do, we're going to the other side.
We're going to the other side!

The Boys fix-it fic idea: If SB is not banging Homelander to join the Seven, they missed out on a GOLDEN opportunity... they could've had him suck up to Homelander a little, get his ego rock hard, then SB could just SELF-DESTRUCT while they're naked together (no dick sucking required!) killing or severely maiming Homelander.
Everyone wins. The straights, the gays, the Boys, and all of us thirsting like we're in the Mohave desert of middle-aged men fucking

Just saw some of your previous ask answers and as someone also on FT, can confirm it's a nightmare 👍. There's this obsession, even among people who aren't really his fans, with always defending him because of race? I'm a POC myself but there are limits to the race card lol. Being a POC doesn't mean you can't be arrogant or behave badly sometimes or (apparently) have a bit of a European superiority complex. People keep getting attacked on there for criticizing him for questionable behavior or comments because you apparently you can't criticize a POC and not be racist... it's hilarious but also very exhausting 😭😭. This need to force this image of someone as a saint just because you know what they're doing/saying or how they're behaving isn't okay so you have to resort to ignoring it, trying to excuse it or joke about it, and then pulling the race card"if i scored 4 goals in a final, I'd be arrogant too" for reference. But if it's someone they don't stan, then it's the crime of the century, be serious actually.
Completely agree with you. A LOT of Black people who aren't football fans have just defaulted into supporting him like he's Lebron James but i guess its because its been awhile since there's been an "it boy" that is a Black in football.
But beyond that, he definitely is very European and has developed a big ego. You're absolutely right that there's limits to the race card. Kanye West is quite possibly the biggest idiot on this planet and I will criticize him rightly for the stupid shit that comes out of his mouth.
I love that tweet that's like "I do not support all women some of you bitches are very dumb". Like that is a PERFECT way to frame things. Like sometimes people deserve the hate and their identity can't be used as protection!
