continuing thoughts from This Dream AU

re : why it might have taken the gang a while to find Bruce & Floyd

how about i erase just a little bit of the plot convenience from TBT

what if, bruce's postcard didn't survive unscathed, and they had to go off of john dory's foggy memory of the thing.

so like. they're stumbling their way through a bunch of could-be-heres before they hit on the correct one.

and what if, the Vacay Resort section was legit hard to find.

like, the entire island chain is still at Vacaytioner scale, right? so even if the search party's idea to eventually look there was right, it could still take a long time to navigate thru the tropical jungle on any individual island, let alone many of them.

.... aaaaand what if i drew way too much for a potential reunion anyways because i'm a sap

[eosofspades]

sometimes rereading your old writing is like having a cinematic reunion with an old friend by the sea and sometimes rereading your old writing is like pulling teeth and what they don't tell you is that sometimes these are both true for the same piece of writing

“Was it impolite when I fucked you every night for the past week?” He asked it in a low voice right next to her ear, and was pleased when she drew in a quick little breath and shivered. “Because I was definitely staring at you then, and I seem to remember you enjoying it.”

"Do you ever wish there was fanfiction of a fanfic?" I do. I do so fucking bad. I want fanfiction about Tommy's Clinic for Supervillains, because sometimes I genuinely forget that's a fanfic and not a book that should have its own fandom.

Every time I see that book on my shelf I'm just filled with this urge to read it all again, learn everything about the world building and write my own multi chapter fanfic about it, but focused on Disc Duo. Like, I need it. There's so much potential and so many things that could happen after the end of TCFSV. I'm such a sucker for vigilante/hero/villains aus AND for disc duo AND for that fanfic because it is so good

The only problem is that I want it to just exist so I can read it, not to actually write it. Which is such a struggle because I don't think anyone will write it.

I wanna talk about my characters. I wanna talk about them so bad.

You wanna talk about my characters. You wanna talk about them so bad.

"A communion of sorts"

Based off of my musings in this post (warning: cannibalism mentioned)

While I was drawing this I also started to wonder about the diet of the Yiga Clan. In-game the only food we see them eat/talk about is bananas, but of course that can't be *all* they eat . . .

(continued under cut bc this got longer than I expected)

I talked about the conflict between hylians and the ganon cult in the linked post, but I feel like there's also some potential for conflict/disagreement over diets between the ganon cult and the yiga clan.

In the cult, eating pork and boar meat is seen as a sort of communion with ganon. By consuming the flesh of his earthly form (so to speak) they become closer to him and (allegedly) gain access to his powers.

I feel like it could be interesting if the yiga clan also considered eating pork to be akin to eating the flesh of their god. But what if, instead of it being a "good" thing, it was forbidden? In Age of Calamity we see how Astor and the Yiga Clan have very different relationships with Ganon, despite both serving him-

Astor is comfortable communing directly with Ganon--to the point where he thinks he can *control* Him. In contrast, the yiga are much more wary of Ganon, and see him almost like a force of nature in terms of both power and inevitability. I feel like this exchange with Sooga really highlights that well:

Like yeah, it can definitely be read as "Astor's a weirdo who's already going mad with power and doesn't understand the forces he's working with" (which is a totally valid read. Bro's definitely got a few screws loose). But I feel like it can also highlight the stark contrast in upbringing (which is heightened even more by Astor's role as an elite seer - the "Augur" - within the ganon cult).

Going back to diet- I had momentarily played with the idea of the Yiga being vegetarian, based on the "just bananas" thing, but I think that would be very unsustainable in the harsh climate of Karusa Valley and the surrounding highlands and desert. It already takes an IMMENSE amount of efforts to import bananas from the Faron region, and that's with a carefully selected yiga-friendly farms (and their alliance with Lurelin pre-calamity, which I might talk about later). So being purely vegetarian wouldn't make much sense from a geographic location.

But pork is off the menu. Because even though these guys respect ganon - and in fact, because of it - they don't want to get on his bad bad side

FINALLY MADE IT TO MA'AL'S DEBUT EPISODE IN YOUNG JUSTICEEE

can I get a YEEEHAAAW!!!

Haha they're already doing the "marginalized villain is too extreme in his methods for justice" nonsense but I'm honestly just so happy to see him that nothing is knocking me from this high rn

[movinglikebeautifultruth]

There was no fucking point of making them an item sooooo either Josie is playing Cruz knowing her gay ass is so weak for beautiful hopeless ladies oooooor there’s still a chance that aaliyah might come back and season 3 is gonna be a love triangle

Right and his work menaces (Brent and Karen).

I don't remember last I mentioned it but apart from crude nicknames to people (except Chris), he also just puts them in his phone really weird (except Chris, who is literally in his phone as Chris). And I bring this up because in Right's phone, Karen is saved as "Lawful Obligation".

Sincerely, what was behind the decision in DOTC: The First Battle to have Turtle Tail fight her domestic abuser, at the grave of the friend who was murdered by a maniac after refusing to return to this same abuser, while saying "we must stay out of this fight, she must stand up for herself,"

And then show her LOSING BADLY, BEING BEATEN VIOLENTLY BY TOM,

Just to have fucking GRAY WING jump in and save her ass from the wifebeater??? The guy who's supposed to have asthma and be held back by that??

Like, look at it!

Was all of this just for a chance to show how coooool Gray Wing is?? Have a woman get battered on screen just so the writer's pet can save her??? I am absolutely baffled by the choices that were made in this arc

The chilling adventures of Sabrina could’ve been a 10/10 show.

It was dark, campy and creative.

It tackled sexuality, gender identity, sexism, homophobia and transphobia, and to top it off most of the main characters were actually interesting.

Even the mortal storylines at Baxter high were just as engaging as the storylines at The academy of unseen arts… where they studied actual magic and the occult.

And while there were a few small issues that presented themselves in the later parts of the series

the one constant irritation for me throughout all four parts was the entitled, immature, narcissistic, privileged, hypocritical self centered white savior of a main character…

[loderlied]

honestly maybe considering making oleander ven and niles just original fiction characters? or finding a mind closet to shove them into while i find different settings for them…

imagine you’re Conrad Fisher, your dad is an asshole and a cheater, and he has unrealistic expectations of you, but you still look up to him, you still want to make him proud, you have a little brother who looks up to you and you feel obligated to take care of him, you started college, exams are coming up, you have anxiety and panic attacks because on top of all this YOUR MOTHER is dying of cancer and you can’t do anything and you hate the world and no one gets you and Belly’s biggest problem is that you couldn’t be happy at her stupid prom, the one you basically begged to not have to go to and then she breaks up with you and somehow you’re the bad guy 🤡
