#we are two sides of the same coin we are the two halves of a singular force that cannot survive without the other

reading an article on narcissus and goldmund and thinking "this is way too focused on jungian archetypes and not queer enough. also not batshit crazy enough"

[pureseasalt]

i want you to understand. i need you to understand. that shipping these two or whatever is not just something that carmy/sydney truthers came up on a whim. the writers and directors and crew and actors and producers of the bear fx are in fact encouraging us, the viewers, to make with these two like two dolls. put their lips together. and make them do a lil kissy kissy. a smoochie. "u could do this without me" "i couldnt do it without u. i wouldnt even wanna do it without u" "u make me better at this" "and what if i just melt and fuck up and fail?" "i wont let u". excuse me??? they want us to do it. they're begging us to do it.

[cookie-lore-keeper]

is that so? you seem to know quite a bit about him, especially when it regards him being obsessed with pure vanilla. why do you think that is?

-🥛

Oh my gods, do I get to list my reasons? Thank you so much for asking this, Milk Anon!

Why Shadow Milk Cookie is so obsessed with Pure Vanilla Cookie

We're all aware of Shadow Milk Cookie's whole weird thing with Pure Vanilla Cookie, right? He hates him so much, but he's completely obsessed with him. He wants to torture this man and tear him down and prove to him that they are two sides of the same coin. That they are each other's other halves.

But why? Why is he so obsessed with this Cookie? Surely there's more to it than just their souljams.

He sees himself in Pure Vanilla Cookie

(Notice how he's looking at Pure Vanilla Cookie's eyes; not the Souljam)

I think that Shadow Milk Cookie is telling the truth when he says that he and Vanilly are each other's other halves. Just like Pure Vanilla Cookie, Shadow Milk Cookie was worshipped for being a being of Truth and knowledge. Just like Pure Vanilla Cookie, Shadow Milk Cookie wished to seek the truth and help all cookies. But, unlike Vanilly, that truth corrupted Shmilk.

As of now, I think that Shadow Milk Cookie went through the same thing that Pure Vanilla Cookie is currently going through. He's doubting himself. He has gained so much knowledge and that knowledge had crumbled the world around him. So what did he do? He turned to Deceit. With deceit and lies, he can finally control the narrative, as he is the one creating these false truths. And, he can also lie to himself, and have control over the parts of himself that he can't.

Now, compare this to Pure Vanilla Cookie. He is now the holder of his (Shadow Milk's) Souljam. He is being worshipped as a hero, just like Shadow Milk Cookie. He is being worshipped as a being of Truth, just like Shadow Milk Cookie. And Shadow Milk Cookie can't stand that, for whatever reason. For one, that's his souljam that the witches took away. But, it's also more than that. Whether it's him not being able to see what he could've been if he had just hadn't fallen into the sweet freedom of lying, or if he just wants to quicken the path he thinks Pure Vanilla Cookienis destined to go in, or Hell, it might even just be the need to corrupt this hero just because it feels good, he doesn't want him to be that hero anymore. He wants to see him crash and burn and become just like him ('him' Shadow Milk Cookie).

He is projecting onto Pure Vanilla Cookie

For just a moment, we see a look on Shadow Milk Cookie that resembles... something. Guilt? Regret? Whatever it is, it's worth noting. And he doesn't like it, so he has to crush it.

It goes back to Shadow Milk Cookie wanting to control the narrative. By lying, he controls everything. He controls the false realities he's built. But something broke through that for just a moment, and right after, he tries to crush Pure Vanilla Cookie.

This post explained it well.

He has the slight guilt of making Pure Vanilla Cookie suffer so he could understand what he went through as the Fount of Knowledge. Not to mention the PROJECTING. He literally made Pure Vanilla Cookie dress up as his pre-corrupted self.

Him and Pure Vanilla Cookie are truly each other's other halves, but Shadow Milk Cookie is realizing that that means ye has to deal with parts of himself that he doesn't like. And he needs to crush that.

Tldr; Shmilk is obsessed with Silly Vanilly bcuz he sees himself in him, which makes him project onto Silly Vanilly.

The lab always felt alive at night. The hum of Hextech cores reverberated through the space, their blue glow casting long shadows. You had stayed late again, tinkering with a device that had consumed your thoughts for days. When Jayce and Viktor entered the room together, their opposing energies filled the space, amplifying the already electric atmosphere.

“You’re still here?” Jayce asked, leaning casually against the workbench. His smirk was the kind that sent a thrill up your spine, his presence both confident and magnetic.

“She’s dedicated,” Viktor murmured, his voice softer, but no less compelling. His golden eyes lingered on you, and the weight of his gaze was enough to make your pulse quicken.

They were both here for you, though neither would say it outright. Over the past weeks, the dynamics between the three of you had grown... complicated. Subtle touches, lingering looks, and charged silences spoke volumes, and tonight, the tension seemed to crackle in the air.

“Maybe too dedicated,” Jayce teased, stepping closer. He rested a hand on your shoulder, his touch firm and warm. “You need to relax. Let us take care of this for a while.”

You glanced up at him, caught between amusement and exasperation. “I’m perfectly capable of finishing this myself.”

“We don’t doubt that,” Viktor said, his voice like velvet, as he moved to your other side. He leaned on his cane, the faint scent of metal and machine oil clinging to him. “But wouldn’t it be more efficient to... collaborate?”

The word hung in the air, its meaning layered. You turned your head, finding Viktor closer than you expected. His sharp features were illuminated by the soft glow of the Hextech core, his intensity pulling you in.

“Collaboration, huh?” you said, your voice teasing, though your heart pounded in your chest.

Jayce chuckled, low and rich. “He’s not wrong. We work better together.” He leaned down, his face inches from yours, his breath warm against your skin. “Don’t you think?”

Your eyes darted between them, the space suddenly too small for the three of you. Their rivalry had been palpable for weeks, but tonight, it felt like something else entirely—a challenge, a shared desire that neither wanted to admit first.

“I think you both talk too much,” you said, surprising yourself with the boldness in your tone.

Jayce’s grin widened, his fingers brushing along your jaw. “Careful. We might take that as an invitation.”

“And would that be so bad?” Viktor countered, his voice low, almost a growl.

Your breath hitched as Viktor’s hand came to rest on your lower back, his touch cool and grounding, a contrast to Jayce’s heat. They were two halves of the same coin—light and shadow, fire and ice—and you were caught in the balance.

“I don’t know,” you whispered, your voice trembling with anticipation. “Would it?”

The question was barely out of your mouth before Jayce closed the gap, his lips brushing against yours in a kiss that was as bold and passionate as he was. His hand cradled your face, holding you steady as he deepened the kiss, his confidence making your knees weak.

Just as you thought you’d lose yourself completely, Viktor’s hand tightened on your waist, pulling you back slightly. When you turned, his golden eyes burned with something raw and unspoken. His kiss was different—slower, more deliberate, as if he were savoring every second. His fingers trailed up your arm, leaving a path of goosebumps in their wake.

“I think we’ve found our synergy,” Jayce murmured against your neck, his lips grazing your skin.

Viktor chuckled softly, the sound vibrating through you. “It seems we’re finally in agreement.”

As the night deepened, the boundaries between you blurred. Jayce’s hands explored with the curiosity of a craftsman, his touches deliberate and confident, igniting sparks wherever they landed. Viktor’s approach was more calculated, his precision uncovering hidden vulnerabilities, drawing soft gasps from your lips.

“You’re intoxicating,” Jayce whispered, his voice rough with desire as he pressed you back against the workbench. His strength was undeniable, his presence overwhelming.

“She’s more than that,” Viktor interjected, his tone low and reverent. His hand brushed along your collarbone, his golden eyes meeting yours with an intensity that made your heart race. “She’s brilliance personified.”

Their words and actions left you breathless, their combined attention a force of nature that you could neither escape nor deny. The contrast between them only heightened the experience—Jayce with his unrelenting passion, Viktor with his meticulous care. They were a perfect storm, and you were caught in its eye.

“You two…” you managed to whisper, your voice barely audible over the sound of your pounding heart. “What am I going to do with you?”

“Let us show you,” Jayce replied, his grin full of mischief. He trailed kisses along your jawline, his stubble scraping deliciously against your skin.

“Or perhaps,” Viktor added, his voice like a purr as his fingers threaded through your hair, “you’ll show us.”

Time seemed to blur as the three of you explored uncharted territory, the boundaries between passion and intellect dissolving entirely. Each touch, each whispered word, was a reminder of the unique connection you shared—a fusion of fire and precision, of light and shadow.

As the night stretched on, the tension that had simmered for weeks finally reached its crescendo. The lab, once a place of innovation and creation, became the setting for something far more intimate and transformative. In that moment, you weren’t just collaborators or rivals—you were something more, something electric and undeniable.

When the first rays of dawn broke through the windows, the three of you lay tangled together, the faint hum of the Hextech cores a soothing backdrop. Jayce’s arm was draped protectively over you, his warmth a comforting presence. Viktor’s fingers traced absent patterns along your arm, his golden eyes thoughtful as he gazed at you.

“This changes things,” you murmured, your voice soft but certain.

“Perhaps,” Viktor said, his lips curving into a small smile. “But change is not always a bad thing.”

Jayce chuckled, his voice warm and rich. “If this is what change feels like, I’m not complaining.”

You smiled, the weight of their affection and the promise of what lay ahead filling you with a sense of contentment. Together, you had created something extraordinary—not just in the lab, but in each other. And you knew, without a doubt, that this was only the beginning.

please barb what can we do to make the witchy sequel happen I beg

Be a fan. 💙

The more people engage with my work, post about it, buy it, create fanfic and fanart, etc - the more money I make, the more people in the publishing world realise that IF is a valuable medium for storytelling, the more time I can set aside to create.

Right now, Blood Moon and Thicker Than are a duology (and I think they work well that way, being 'two sides of the same coin', and potentially, depending on your choices, two halves of the same conflict). But there is room for other stories in the same universe.

Constant Companions Closeup #2: NOT QUITE THERE

(also on spotify!)

b-b-back once again

Round two of the Constant Companions Closeups - a series of in-depth dives into the songs off of my latest album, Constant Companions! Yesterday was track one, Dyad - today is track two, Not Quite There, featuring the incomparable telebasher!

This one's a bit of a dark horse relative to the rest of the album, but it may very well be my personal favorite song on the entire thing so dammit let's Yap

---

For the uninitiated, this song pulls heavily from a song off my previous album called Gummyworm, both in vibe and by very directly quoting its synth motif.

Both of these songs deal with two sides of the same emotional coin. I actually don't want to go into too much detail about it - I feel like the lyrics spell things out clearly enough - but I will say this:

When it's all you know, it's easy to believe that a love that isolates you, a love that doesn't respect you, a love that hurts is better than no love at all.

You deserve better. There are always people who genuinely want what's best for you, who want you to feel truly loved. It certainly isn't always easy - it's genuinely good if your interpersonal relationships have a little friction sometimes - but love should make your life brighter.

You deserve a love that's fair.

---

The original version of this song was actually intended to be on Bittersweet alongside Gummyworm. The original concept for that album had a whole heady concept involving duality, songs reflecting each other, the two halves basically being reprisals of each other... Ultimately, I'm glad I scrapped that idea, because it was waaaaaay too much for me to manage after a couple years of barely making music. Maybe I'll revisit it someday though?

The drums on this song are sampled from an Instagram post by Louis Cole, where he's doing this crazy one-handed hi-hat blast by holding a drumstick sideways. I'm a drummer and that shit genuinely scares me a little like i dont know how he does half the things he does its fucked BUT. I bring this up because he's one of my biggest inspirations as a musician! I'm really big on jazz in general, in case my love for spicy chords wasn't enough of an indication, but his specific brand of freaky hyperactive bullshit just does it for me.

Seriously, go watch his band KNOWER play their song Overtime. Absolutely insane performances across the board. also Clown Core

This whole song is really just my attempt at matching some of that hectic jazzy energy with my own style of music, so I figured it only made sense to make it another collab with another musician making delightfully frantic jazz bullshit - the legend herself, telebasher! I really am such a massive fan of her work, and I struggle to think of anyone who plays guitar quite like she does. We previously worked together on another Bittersweet track, Asemic Speech, and her guitar work is a major reason why that song is still one of my favorite I've ever released!! She's just built different like listen to this oh my god!!!!

Lastly, since this song was one of the first written for this entire project... it is admittedly a case of me shoehorning the album's leitmotif in after the fact. It's a little forced when it shows up in the backing vocals! But, the choir of vocal synths during the guitar solo served an additional purpose - my own voice doesn't show up on the album again for another four entire songs, and this would've otherwise been the only song on the entire album that didn't feature any vocal synths. Thus did I attempt to bridge the gap, as it were. Hopefully it makes the final product feel more natural!!

Either way, that's all for today's post.... i think.... which means that tomorrow.... we're gonna rot.... for clout

Two Halves of the Same Whole

Legolas x gn!elf!reader

Requested (Kinda): @legolastaint

Summary: “Ughhhh i NEED someone to write a legolas x reader fic where you just get to be feral little guys together. Please!!! I want running through the woods barefoot together, i want playing pretend!! I want catching bugs and frogs and the like and marvelling at their beauty!!! I want playing in a creek and catching fish and crawdads and shiny rocks!!! I want playing and making things out of all of our little found object collections!!! I want hanging out outside in the rain or during a thunderstorm!!! And i dont want it to be platonic!! I want this to be love!!!!!!!! I want this to be our affection for each other!!!!!!!”

Author’s Note: I hope I captured the vibe you wanted! As a feral little gremlin that grew up in the country, I’ve also wanted more fics like this :) It is a little short, but if you like it I can and will write more <3

The cold water of the creek was a direly needed refreshment. You had stripped off your boots, rolled up your pant legs, and were now wading in the shallow water. A splash from a few feet upstream told you that Legolas had decided to join you.

"Meleth nin, are you sure our friend won't mind us being late?"

"No, he will understand," you hummed. "Especially if we find a gift to bring him." The pair of you were on your way to visit a new friend, Willard, that resided in his own small corner of the Greenwood.

That is, you were on your way until you could no longer ignore the call of the creeks cooling waters. You intended to depart for Willard's home earlier, before the heat peaked for the day, but Legolas had been very particular when selecting wildflowers. He insisted the finishing touch for today's picnic be a marvelous bouquet that Willard could admire during the time before your next visit. After showing you the final product, you agreed with his vision, but now you needed a break from walking in the heavy heat of the afternoon.

"And what sort of gift would he like most," Legolas questioned.

"I think we will know when we find it." You scanned the creek bed for a glimmer of any long lost trinkets to gift your friend. The only thing to catch your eye was a school of small, shimmering fish coming to say hello in the water surrounding your legs. You softly laughed as they tickled and brushed against you.

"Do we have something that the little fish may enjoy," You called out to Legolas and gestured to your new acquaintances. A gentle smile, touched with affection at your care for even the smallest of creatures, spread across his face.

"I shall look, meleth nin." He returned to where he'd left the picnic basket on the shore, looking for something suitable to give the fish among what you packed. Legolas settled on some apples slices that he could further dice to a smaller size.

While bringing the bits of apple to you, something peeking out from the creeks sandy bottom caught his attention. He bent down and scooped it from the sand, gently swishing it around in the water to clean it off. The little treasure was a stone, more of a gem really, no bigger than a large coin, yet Legolas knew that this was it.

Legolas approached you, a grin plastered across his face as he presented the stone to you - its colorful and translucent surface resembling stained glass, smoothed and polished from the water. You let out a gasp, throwing your arms around him and nearly sending both of you tumbling into the water.

"It's perfect," you brushed a few stray strands of his hair away and pressed a kiss to his temple. "I know Willard will absolutely adore it."

-

You were walking side-by-side with Legolas, your hands intertwined while his free hand carried the picnic basket and yours carried the precious stone. The two of you were now approaching the large willow tree that marked Willard's dwelling.

You halted once you reached the tree, rapping the trunk with your knuckles a couple times, "Willard, we're here!" You shot a glance towards Legolas who had lowered and started to unpack the picnic basket. Kneeling down to a small gap where the tree's roots met the ground, you peaked inside, "Willard?" Your voice was met with a soft thud as Willard, the large toad that lived beneath the willow tree, hopped out of his abode to greet you.

"There he is," Legolas chimed in. "Perhaps we left him waiting too long and he laid down for his afternoon nap," he commented as he set plates and food down for the three of you.

"Maybe," You sighed, drawing your eyebrows together. "But I think our lateness will be forgiven once he sees his gift. Here," you placed the shiny stone several inches in front of Willard, who immediately hopped over to inspect it further.

"I think he loves it already, meleth nin," Legolas observed while passing you a flask of water to fill your cup with.

"I agree, I think you certainly have an eye for treasure, Legolas," a satisfied grace spread across your features.

He leaned in and pressed a kiss to your lips, "I think I most certainly do."

eclipsewater like i said and promised but i didn’t get to the smut because i love background story okay. i’m a romantic at heart

i love love love when people write remus and james to be so close, even platonically, but this is romantically. yes sirius is james’s platonic soulmate, but he feels so at home with remus. sirius is his twin flame, and remus is the heart that holds his flame. they complete each other in ways that most people don’t see. they spend their last year of hogwarts giving each other secret smiles when someone asks who they’re dating. sirius and peter are slipping off somewhere thinking they’re being secretive while remus and james are the opposite halves that fit together

they move in together pretty soon after graduating. sweet oblivious peter asks why they got a two bedroom but only live in one room. sirius elbows him and thanks them for thinking of getting a guest room just for little ol’ him.

they’re each other’s safe place to land. james can have a hard day at practice so remus draws him a hot bath and makes his disgusting protein shake. and then he holds james. every moon, james makes sure that remus takes his appropriate potions, helps him stretch his muscles, and rubs ointment into any ailment. remus reigns in james’s naturally cocky and petty attitude with a hand on his nape, and james near automatically tells him to stop being self deprecating when he even senses it about to come out of remus’s mouth. sometimes they finish each other’s sentences in a bizarre way. they feel like extensions of the other, two sides of the same coin. they just… work.

a few years later, it’s a surprise when they both feel something shift at the same time. it’s almost like their hearts, ever in sync, decide they yearn to add a third heart. it’s the night when there’s a pounding on their door and when they open it, it’s to a very drunk and crying regulus. regulus tolerates james on a good day, but he doesn’t like remus enough to show up unannounced at 1am. he’s blubbering apologies until james ushers him in and makes him sit. regulus tell us what’s happened. is it sirius? oh please don’t be sirius.

and regulus usually wouldn’t cry, especially in front of james and remus, but he’s drunk so forgive him. so he gets out i was out with my boyfriend and he cheated on me right in front of me! and sirius hates him, and barty and evan are traveling, and pandora lives too far to walk, and i’m too drunk to apparate – at this he cries harder – and you’re closest to the club so you were my last option and now this is embarrassing!

so remus and james do their best to comfort him until he says he wants to sleep. they get him a shirt of james’s to change into and tell him he can sleep in their guest bed. they reconvene in the kitchen to figure out a game plan. (we can’t kill him james. – but… but! he hurt regulus! as sirius’s best friend i have a responsibility – for fucks sake did you hear me? i said kill. we can maim him. but we have to wait because it’s too suspicious. did you hear that thump.)

and they go to investigate and there’s what appears to be an angel asleep on their bed wearing james’s shirt. and suddenly neither of them can breathe because there’s something so sweet about this regulus that can and will hex you for breathing too loudly (james would know) curled in on himself fast asleep. like he needs protected. and they both know they’re so absolutely fucked over him

-💫🐀

That is the sweetest fucking thing omg.

WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYONE CHEAT ON REGULUS?!?! HELLO????

I swear we could start a drinking game with amount of time we've described Regulus as an angel in all these back and forths (the Remus priest au would be the final boss lol)

ugh and I wish i could add somthing but said smut and now im buzzing in anticipation. (all can is horny thought and this is to sweet for that.

(THE JUMP SCARE!!! AAHHHHH! the way i scream, this has nothing to do with you said starrat but it does at the same time because why would you say that specifically. ahhhhhh, i scream and jumped out my seat because it has to be a coincidence but what a terrible coincidence it is)

[bibibbon]

Hey Let play a game! I’m gonna say stuff about a character and you have to guess who this character (note:sorry for any grammar error)

1-He use his quirk on a person (who he act possessive over) when this person said no.

2-He act asshole towards Izuku.

3-He think Izuku doesn’t deserve OFA.

4-He mentored a boy who look oddly similar to this person he act possessive with.

5-He think he have the right to say about OFA.

6-He think he have to say about the life of a person (who , again act possessive) with excuse that “he care about him/that for his own good”.

You probably thinking I was talking about AFO

Wrong!

I was talking about Nighteye

( Obviously AFO is way worse person than Nighteye , but what I trying to say that if I was Yoichi/the OFA users I will feel uncomfortable and angry the way Nighteye acting towards All Might and Izuku (and Mirio) )

I am going to be so honest when I was first reading this. The first character that came to mind wasn't AFO, but it was Bakugo. That is until statement 4, and then I started to think of AFO.

Respectfully, I don't think Nighteye actually gets enough hate and criticism, and maybe that is due to the lack of screentime he gets within the story of MHA and how the narrative doesn't actually ever call nighteye out for his actions.

I believe that due to the narrative not actually calling out sir nighteye for his actions, most people forget just how much of a jerk he really is and overall nighteyes character goes to waste.

Rereading the overhaul arc and looking over sir Nighteye's character profile really caught my attention, especially with the way that Horikoshi chose to describe Nighteye as the "Japanese counterpart to an Americanised All might."

To me, it looked like horikoshi could have used both all Might and sir nighteyes characters to actively critique the core principles of hero society. Yes, they both try to do good, but we can actively see how much damage they have caused.

For example, both all Might and Sir nighteye perpetuate a toxic work environment where we see them overwork themselves and others to an unhealthy degree.

They are also both contrasts. All Might is shown to do the physical work. He is a symbol of strength and freedom, while nighteye is a symbol of dedication and laughter due to his love for jokes. They both have a personality surrounded by the idea of smiling all Might, smiling physically to comfort people, and sir, nighteye enjoying jokes that his workers and he makes.

Nighteye's work ethic is shown to be more cooperate toxic based, whereas all Might's is more physical toxic based.

Sure, they both had noble intentions at the start, but they also both caused a lot of damage to those around them and to themselves. Sir Nighteye's failures as a hero caused an entire fiasco when it came to Eri and the yakuza while All Might’s own failures as a hero caused for AFO to still be alive and for him to almost die.

They both have their own protégé whom they entrust their legacy to in hopes for a better future. Funnily enough, their protégé also resemble one another, and mirio resembles all Might while izuku resembles sir nighteye.

They're essentially two sides of the same coin when it comes to hero society of MHA and the series should of explored their clashing ideologies a lot more whether that be through both of them or through their own protégé mirio and izuku who ironically end up having two contrastingly different views when it comes to what action should of been taken to helping rescue Eri.

All might in the spotlight while Sir nighteye is in the shadow they are essentially the two halves that make up the hero side of hero society

As I mentioned before, sir, nighteye's toxic work ethic and environment that he facilitates in his agency should have been explored and should have been tied into the failures of the overhaul arc.

It seems that in a very disingenuous and cheap way to create a lighthearted and productive environment, Sir Nighteye goes to huge levels of extreme to create comedy and we see it as he literally has a torture type device called tickle hell that he uses to punish his workers if they aren't funny enough. This is the same mindset that a very toxic manager would have.

Sir Nighteye's work ethic also ends up being heavily problematic with him greenlighting a lot of things like children going to a professional yakuza raid or his poor communication skills when it comes to getting information across to everyone about the raid and assuming that because of his quirk he knows best so he has that superiority complex which causes him to talk down to people whether that be intentionally or not.

However, the series could have also explored the tragedy behind Sir Nighteye's quirk. The tragedy in having the power of knowing what will happen but not having the power to prevent it or not having the power to change the course of events.

I assume that, sir, nighteye some time in the past must of tested the limits to his quirk probably when he was a hero and it had a tragic outcome which would explain the reason why he seems to believe that the future cannot change and that what happens will happen. Something must of happend for nighteye someone with so much information to fall into a depressing doom of inevitability and for him to beg all Might to quit to at least look after himself to stop running to his own death.

In the end, it seems that all might and nighteye switch positions to an extent with sir nighteye dying and all might living. In the end, all of that information couldn't save nighteye at all, and in the end, nighteye died due to a chain of mistakes all of them could be linked back to the slow corruption of hero society.

So the lovely @skylarstar1000 was asking their daily question: ‘what are your thoughts on King Creativity’? I’m going to tell you exactly what I think. I believe he was REAL (possibly with another name) and that Thomas will write about him one day. Let me explain my proof—

Logan was the one that explained that Roman and Remus split like an ovum into two creativities, and they are essentially twins, or two halves of the same coin, a light half and a dark half. When that all was said, Roman was knocked out cold and Remus really only had to explain who he was, not how it happened.

What was left out, what we all missed, was the most important information: ROMAN’S SIDE OF THE STORY. I do believe there is still some lore to be explored about Roman before he had to split himself and when/why he went through the process. Maybe not the reason, but I do feel he would want to explain how he felt and the responsibility he claimed for doing so.

It’s possible that the name ‘King Creativity’ is just a fanon name, but there is a hint of proof if you look at Roman’s playlist. In it there is a song called ‘King’ by Years and Years. ‘King’ might just be an arbitrary title reserved for a royal person, HOWEVER, there’s a line in the song that says ‘I had to break myself to carry on’ most definitely referring to Roman splitting from Remus.

So Roman might have been King Roman, is what I’m saying. He was ‘King Creativity’ all along, he broke himself in two to ‘carry on’. There is more to that song about how Roman did all this for C!Thomas, and how Roman was finding the courage to fight that part of himself so that Thomas can live a more noble and happier life. It’s complicated and self sacrificing, but in the end, Roman will always be a protector willing to serve, no matter the cost.

Here’s the song! 😁👑

jayvik is so beautifully written, they make me sick. "in all timelines, in all possibilities," jayce and viktor are a hymn to inevitability. they are the two halves of a blueprint etched across time, or as they put it, "two sides of the same coin."

what do you mean they are soulmates in every lifetime, their threads tangled in every universe, woven by viktor himself? what do you mean their fates are written in the stars, no matter the sky? in every lifetime, they find each other—a scientist and a dreamer, an idealist and a realist, building bridges where the world would cast walls. their bond is not merely forged; it is carved into the marrow of existence itself, etched into stardust and iron. how do they still fit so perfectly, even as they break apart?

they clash and converge, hurt and heal, love and lament, and yet they remain. in every timeline, through every failure, their story insists: we are more together. they are not just lovers bound by fate, but partners forged by choice, and that is what makes their love transcend eternity.

Stan talking to Bill Owl Falls AU | Stan hablando con Bill Owl Falls AU

IN ENGLISH

Bill: What are you doing here?

Stan looked at Bill, they were back in their mental escape, the reason for his visit was for desperate measures, right outside his head he was trying to stop Hunter from hurting the other kids. He knows that Belos had control over his mind, so he wouldn't allow him to continue hurting that child... But for that, he needed Bill's help.

Stan: Look, I know I told you not to interfere with anything in the physical world and all that, and I wouldn't come here if it wasn't to ask you for help...

Bill:Hahaha! At least you're honest, flea-eater - he laughs mockingly as he sits down on an armchair that appeared out of nowhere -

Stan: Just listen, please! I need you to help me, I don't know how to get Belos out of Hunter's head, and with every second that passes, we could lose him!

Bill: And why do you think I care about that, furball?

Stan didn't want to say it out loud, he knew the answer, he knew it perfectly...

He and Bill were one and the same, two sides of the same coin...

I didn't remember this until a few weeks ago with the help of Ford...

He was horrified, terrified, livid, and mortified all at the same time... all he could do was rage at this new revelation. The revelation that he was Bill Cipher and everything he had done under that name haunted him as the man he was now.

I wasn't sure if I would remember everything as time went on and less important memories would fade away, But I was sure that in his mind there were memories of a life as a swindler demon.

He regretted everything. Everything. He had regretted a lot back then too, but now he could look back with the wisdom that his second chance had given him.

... Oh titan, this was crazy. And that's even with the Collector and Belos here...

No, he wasn't that person. Not anymore!

And in the end it was not like Belos, nor the collector, nor Bill!

It was different now. He'd lived a different life. A life with people who loved him. Even if they hadn't always been the best. Eda, King, Luz, Fiddleford, the kids... Ford....

Oh Titan... Ford didn't know... But he could already sense that he had figured it out after Stan left the subject hanging.

How was he going to tell Ford all this? Was he going to? Would Ford even believe him? Would he think Bill was back? That Bill had taken over Stan's psyche or merged with Stan? That last idea disgusts him...

No, it wasn't Bill, even though he had his memories, he wasn't that person anymore, and he refused to accept Bill even as a part of himself...

Bill: I can hear all your thoughts, mangy... And I don't like the idea of us being the same person either...

Stan sighs heavily, he didn't have time to ramble, he had to come to an agreement, something, anything... he couldn't allow Hunter to suffer any more...

Stan: Please, Bill... I need to save that kid...

Bill doesn't answer, he just turns his back, it was curious that they now looked the same, which reinforces the horrible thought that They are the same person, they shared memories, they shared experiences... It was a damn mirror... And the only person who could help him save his children was himself...

There was a somewhat long silence, while Bill did not look at Stan, he seemed to be thinking, considering something. What was he thinking?

Bill: ... Why do you care so much about those humans? Humans are so weak... They are easy to manipulate, to hurt, to kill... Like everything in the universe... Why do you care about those humans if you are me?

Stan: N-no, we're not the same person...

Bill: Oh, Fez, you're wrong about that... You and I are one soul sharing the same body, two halves divided by AXOLOTL... doomed to fight each other in an endless cycle... You are me and I am you... You can't escape the truth... So answer me, my future incarnation... What makes you so different from me?

Stan hesitates a little, he knew they were similar in many ways, they were scammers, survivors, people who lost their home due to a terrible mistake, who pretend to be happy when they are not, who seek something more than just what they have been given... But there was something that set Stan apart from Bill...

Stan: ...I have a lot to lose... People who need my help... And I need them to be safe...

Bill: ...Okay, I'll help you...

Stan: Really?

Bill: On one condition...

Stan: Sure, one condition, why not? ... What do you want?

Bill: admit that we are the same person ...

Stan: What?! No! I never-

The conversation is interrupted by screams outside Stan's mind.

Bill: Tick tock, Fez... You're running out of time... - he said mockingly

Stan: I... I... Ah! Okay! I admit it! You and I are the same person!

Bill: Very good, very good... And...?

Stan: - frustrado - Listen, you knucklehead! I have to get back there and protect my kids! I know you don't care about anything but your own ass, but I need your help! So do something good for once with your life and help me save my family!

EN ESPAÑOL

Bill: ¿Que haces aquí?

Stan miro a Bill, estaban de nuevo en su escape mental, la razón de su visita era por medidas desesperadas, justo afuera de su cabeza estaba tratando de evitar que Hunter le haga daño a los demas niños, sabia que Belos tenía control sobre su mente, así que no permitiría que continuara lastimando a ese niño... Pero para eso, necesitaba la ayuda de Bill

Stan: mira, se que te dije que no interfieras en nada del mundo físico y todo eso, y no vendría aqui si no fuera para pedirte ayuda...

Bill: ¡Jajaja! Al menos eres sincero, pulgoso - rie burlonamente mientras se sienta en un sillón que apareció de la nada

Stan: ¡Solo escucha, por favor! Necesito que me ayudes, no sé cómo sacar a Belos de la cabeza de Hunter ¡y con cada segundo que pase, podríamos perderlo!

Bill: ¿Y por qué crees que eso me importa, bola de pelos?

Stan: ... Porque...

Stan no quería decirlo en voz alta, sabia la respuesta, la sabia perfectamente...

El y Bill eran una misma persona , las dos caras de la misma moneda...

No lo recordaba hasta hace semanas atrás con ayuda de Ford...

Estaba horrorizado, aterrorizado, lívido y mortificado, todo al mismo tiempo... todo lo que podía hacer era enfurecerse con esta nueva revelación. La revelación de que él era Bill Cipher y que todo lo que había hecho bajo ese nombre lo atormentaba como el hombre que era ahora.

No estaba seguro de si recordaría todo a medida que pasara el tiempo y los recuerdos menos importantes se iban a desvanecer, pero si tenía la seguridad de saber que en su mente hay recuerdos de una vida como un demonio estafador

Se arrepintió de todo. De todo. También se había arrepentido de mucho en aquel entonces, pero ahora podía mirar atrás con la sabiduría que le dió su segunda oportunidad

... Oh, titán, esto era una locura. Y eso que incluso con el coleccionista y Belos aquí...

No, él no era esa persona. ¡Ya no!

¡Y en definitiva no era como Belos, ni el coleccionista, ni Bill!

Ahora era diferente. Había vivido una vida diferente. Una vida con personas que lo amaban. Aunque no siempre habían sido las mejores. Eda, King, Luz, Fiddleford, los niños... Ford.

Oh Titan... Ford no lo sabía... Pero ya podía intuir que lo había descifrado después de que Stan dejara el tema al aire

¿Cómo iba a contarle todo esto a Ford? ¿Lo iba a hacer? ¿Ford siquiera le creería? ¿Pensaría que Bill había vuelto? ¿Que Bill se había apoderado de la psique de Stan o se había fusionado con Stan? Esa última idea le repugna...

No, no era Bill, aunque tenga sus memorias, ya no era esa persona, y se negaba a aceptar a Bill siquiera como una parte de si mismo...

Bill: puedo escuchar todos tus pensamientos, sarnoso... Y a mí tampoco me agrada la idea de que seamos la misma persona...

Stan suspira pesadamente, no tenía tiempo para divagar, tenía que llegar a un acuerdo, algo, lo que sea... no podía permitir que Hunter sufra más...

Stan: por favor, Bill... Necesito salvar a ese niño...

Bill no responde, solo le da la espalda, era curioso que ahora se vieran igual, lo que refuerza el horrible pensamiento de que son la misma persona, de que compartían memorias, que compartían experiencias... Era un maldito espejo... Y la única persona que podría ayudarlo a salvar a sus niños era si mismo...

Hubo un silencio algo largo, mientras Bill no le dirigía la mirada a Stan, parecía estar pensando, considerando algo ¿Que era lo que estaba pensando?

Bill: ... ¿Porque te importan tanto esos humanos? Los humanos son tan débiles... Son fáciles de manipular, de lastimar, de matar... Cómo todo en el universo... ¿Porque te importan esos humanos si tú eres yo?

Stan: n-no, no somos la misma persona...

Bill: oh, Fez, te equivocas en eso... Tu y yo somos un alma compartiendo el mismo cuerpo, dos mitades divididas por AXOLOTL... condenados a pelear el uno contra el otro en un ciclo sin fin... Tu eres yo y yo soy tu... No puedes escapar de la verdad... Así que respóndeme, futura encarnación mía... ¿Que te hace tan diferente a mi?

Stan duda un poco, sabía que eran similares en muchos aspectos, eran estafadores, sobrevivientes, personas que perdieron su hogar por un terrible error, que fingen estar felices cuando no es así, que buscan algo más que solo lo que se les ha dado... Pero había algo que diferencia a Stan de Bill...

Stan: ... Yo tengo mucho que perder... Personas que necesitan mi ayuda... Y necesito que estén a salvo...

Bill: ... Bien, te ayudaré...

Stan: ¿En serio?

Bill: con una condición...

Stan: claro, una condición, ¿Porque no? ... ¿Que quieres?

Bill: admite que somos la misma persona ...

Stan: ¡¿Que?! ¡No! ¡Yo nunca-

La conversación es interrumpida por los gritos en el exterior de la mente de Stan

Bill: tic tac, Fez... Se te acaba el tiempo... - dijo de forma burlona

Stan: yo... Yo... ¡Ah! ¡Está bien! ¡Lo admito! ¡Tu y yo somos la misma persona!

Bill: muy bien, muy bien... ¿Y...?

Stan: - frustrado - ¡Escucha, cabeza hueca! ¡Tengo que volver allá y proteger a mis niños! ¡Se que no te importa nada más que tú trasero, pero necesito tu ayuda! ¡Así que haz algo bueno por una vez con tu vida y ayúdame a salvar a mi familia!

Not a lot of people talk about how 'ghost halfs' in the show are almost treated like they're entirely different people- or literal halves of the self

The first time Danny split was in Identity Crisis and he was split into "Fun Danny"- a laid back and irresponsible teenage boy, and "Super Danny"- a literal manifestation of his super hero duties

We didn't get to properly see his halves in TUE due to them fusing with Plasmius during the flashback sequence- but it didn't seem to be the same process as the Fenton Ghost Catcher- the gauntlets were more akin to literally ripping the soul out of its body rather than evenly splitting it-

Im saying there are LORE IMPLICATIONS as to how halfa's whole physical self works. I.C implies being a halfa is two sides of the same coin, but TUE also implies a ghost half is something that can be completely ripped apart with no noticeable changes-

Maybe Danny's halves were changed significantly by grief, so fun/super danny wouldnt exist anyway?

I just woke up with a headache so if I sound insane, I am

Agatha Harkness x Rio Vidal (Mentioned)

Word Count: 3.7K

Summary: A monologue from a young Agatha Harkness, reflecting on her first encounter with Rio Vidal, a personification of death. Set in the aftermath of her Coven's destruction, Agatha is consumed by a mixture of fascination, longing, and existential recognition.

Notes: Tarot Symbolism, Rio Vidal (Mentioned), Salem! Agatha Harkness, Angst, Longing, Monologue and Existentialism.

Author's notes: This is my first time posting what I write, I hope you like it. English is not my native language, please forgive me for any mistakes.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤI saw her first through the smoke and ruin, the embers of my world still glowing red-hot as if they might sear her image into my memory forever. Rio. Her name tastes ancient on my tongue, like the first breath of a long-forgotten prayer. She moved like the shadow of a storm, cloaked in night, her presence a force of nature that could strip the marrow from your bones and leave you grateful for it.

But even then, as the weight of her settled upon the clearing—upon me—I did not feel fear. No, fear had died alongside my Coven, their lifeless forms twisted and blackened around me. What I felt was something far more dangerous, far more consuming. Curiosity.

Her face is etched into my mind now, clearer than any memory I have of the women who raised me. Her beauty defies description, for how can one describe the juxtaposition of death itself? The hollow perfection of her skull, bare and gleaming like the moon, balanced against the soft humanity of her lips and the cold fire in her eyes. It is a beauty that demands surrender, a beauty that promises ruin.

And oh, how I wish to be ruined by her.

She spoke to me, and her voice was the end of all things. Low and steady, like the final toll of a bell, each word slipping beneath my skin to settle in my marrow. “You carry the weight of them now,” she told me, her tone neither cruel nor kind. And I, broken and burning, could do nothing but believe her. How could I not, when she was the very proof of the weight I bore?

In that moment, I thought of The Lovers. The tarot card that someone once showed me, the one she said was meant to guide my path. I used to laugh at it, at its foolish romance and impossible choices. Yet now I see it clearly, its meaning so sharp it cuts. The Lovers is not just about love — it is about union, about two halves becoming a whole and the impossible balance of what is chosen and what is fated. I see it in Rio, in the space between us.

She is death, cold and inexorable. I am life, wild and unyielding. Two forces that should repel one another, yet I feel the pull like gravity, drawing me closer to the void she carries within her. We are the two sides of the same coin, two halves of an unfinished story. Where her hands take, mine give; where her presence consumes, mine creates. And yet, standing before her, I feel as though I have never truly lived until now.

Her words lingered in the ashes that surrounded us: Death is not scary. Life is. How could she be so cruel as to speak a truth so profound? It is life that binds us, that breaks us, that chains us to one another even as it promises freedom. Life is the fire, the storm, the chaos. And death… death is her. Quiet. Inevitable. Beautiful.

I wonder if she knows what she has done to me. Does she see the way my fingers itch to touch her again, to trace the sharp lines of her face and learn the secrets of her unyielding form? Does she feel the tether she has wrapped around my heart, pulling me toward her with every breath?

Rio Vidal, death in human form. I should fear her, and yet I want to claim her. To make her mine. I have lost everything — my Coven, my mother, my innocence — but I will not lose her. She is the opposite of what I am, and yet I feel as though we are the same. Two flames destined to burn together, consuming all in our path.

I will find a way to bind her to me, to tie her essence to mine as tightly as life is bound to death. If she is the reaper of souls, then I will ensure she has all she needs. And perhaps, in giving her that, she will give me what I crave in return.

Her presence lingers still, like smoke in my lungs, like the memory of a dream that refuses to fade. She will return. She must. For how can The Lovers exist if one half of the pair is missing?

[jackietaylorsversion]

Soulmates.

I was in a discord server earlier, and we got to talking about the Yellowjackets as soulmates, and I thought I'd share those thoughts here, just a nice little put together catalogue of all those thoughts put together. I might add to this, too, as more pairings and relationships come to me.

For the record, I want to point out that I think that all of these characters are soulmates, far beyond ship dynamics, far beyond romance. What makes up the insides of one makes up the insides of the others because they are all the same: teenage girls trapped in either growing or decaying bodies. Their souls are all mated to the others in some way or another.

Tai and Van are a pair. Two separate souls that are a part of a matched set, like socks. They can be worn mismatched, certainly, but they really are at their best together. Tai gives Van a purpose. Van calms Tai's "demons." They can exist without each other, live without each other, love without each other, but they just are at their best together.

Lottie and Nat are that sort of star-crossed soulmates, doomed soulmates. There's a red string of fate but its severed somewhere in the middle. They can be good for each other, laugh and smile and hold each other close. They can be the worst of each other, holding knives to each other's throats, laughing in the face of it. They're the epitome of a missed chance. What kind of missed chance? That's up for you to decide.

Misty and Nat are the kind of soulmates that don't seem like they'd match, but they work so good together. The believer and the skeptic (though who is who changes with the circumstance, the belief, the skepticism). Orange and blue. Salt and sweet. Chaotic good and lawful evil. They're diametrically opposed but in a way that makes sense, in a way that works together. They each feed off of what makes the other their opposite. One is running, the other is chasing. Of course one would die at the hand of the other.

Lottie and Laura Lee are the kind of soulmates where each thinks they are the worshipper while the other is the god. A prophet, a believer, a worship under the sun. Souls that just burn brighter around each other (and that pun was unintentional the first time but very intentional with the emphasis). Both want to help the other. Both want to hold the other. They are belief without boundaries personified. Each is Icarus. Each is the sun.

Tai and Shauna are soulmates in a way that recognizes "That is my person." Two people that have so much in common, who understand each other, who both recognize the want in the other. They have an understanding and a care for each other that's fierce. I see you, you see me, ad it might not be pretty, but we will be honest with each other. Especially as the two of them have aged; time has not erased their understanding of one another.

Jackie and Nat are soulmates in a way that isn't explored a lot in the show but has been discussed, from what I've seen, really well. Foils. Two sides of the same coin. Opposites. Rich girl, poor girl. Prude, slut. There are certain stereotypes around both of them that, from a glance, seem to play out. One only needs to look deeper to really see it. Unfortunately, from the show, we never really see the two of them see past their expectations of each other.

Jackie and Shauna. Two heads, one heart. I don't know where you end and I begin and all that. We've been there, we've done that. We know it by heart. They're not a pair because a pair implies separation, and there is none. You can cut out your heart, and you can even replace it, but it's never the same. They're two shattered halves of the same fucked up whole. When one piece is gone, the hole cannot be filled properly ever again. There are some species of worms that, when worm cut in half, can keep living as two separate entities. That does not negate the fact that it was once one whole creature. They're unhealthy together. They're unnatural apart. One did not live long enough to remedy either of these facts.

(If Jackie's heart was still beating, I know it would beat in time with Shauna's. I hope Shauna ate it to feel it beat with hers one last time.)

The Profound Silence: Silent Bob's Voice

Silence can be deafening, can't it? It's a curious thing, how the absence of words can speak so loudly.

Silent Bob, he embodies that enigma. In a world of constant chatter, he chooses silence. It's not just a quirk; it's a deliberate choice, a way of being.

He stands in stark contrast to the verbose characters around him, especially Jay. Their dynamic is a study in contrasts, a balance of noise and stillness.

And that silence creates intrigue. We're drawn to him because we don't know what he's thinking, what he's observing. It invites us to fill in the blanks, to project our own interpretations onto him.

The mystery surrounding him is part of his appeal. It's the same allure that draws us to the unknown, the unsaid. It makes us lean in, to pay closer attention to the subtle cues he offers.

The Observer's Perspective

He's always watching, isn't he? Absorbing the world around him like a sponge.

Silent Bob's silence isn't emptiness; it's a space for observation. He takes it all in, the chaos, the conversations, the nuances of human interaction.

He forms his own opinions, no doubt, but he doesn't rush to express them. There's a value in that, in taking the time to process, to understand before speaking.

It's a lost art, really, this introspection. In a world that demands instant reactions, he chooses to contemplate. He reminds us that there's power in stillness.

And from that stillness, a unique perspective emerges. He sees things others miss, the subtle undercurrents, the unspoken truths. His silence is a lens through which we can view the world with fresh eyes.

Moral Compass in a Chaotic World

Even without saying much, he guides. Silent Bob's reactions, a subtle nod, a raised eyebrow, they speak volumes.

He serves as a moral compass in the View Askewniverse, a world often filled with questionable choices and chaotic antics. His presence is a grounding force.

He offers guidance not through lectures or pronouncements, but through his actions, his expressions. It's a more subtle, but perhaps more effective, form of communication.

He doesn't preach, he simply embodies a certain set of values. He offers a perspective without being preachy, a gentle nudge in the right direction.

And in a world that often lacks direction, that moral compass is invaluable. He reminds us that even in the midst of chaos, there's always a right path to choose.

The Weight of Words

When he speaks, people listen. It's the power of infrequent speech, the weight that his words carry.

Silent Bob doesn't waste words. He chooses them carefully, deliberately. Each one is a precious commodity, to be used sparingly and with intention.

And that's why his insights are so profound. He distills complex ideas into concise statements, cutting through the noise to reveal the core truth.

Think of his speech in "Chasing Amy." It was a turning point, a moment of clarity that inspired Holden to see things differently. It's a testament to the power of well-chosen words.

He demonstrates that communication isn't about quantity, but about quality. It's about making every word count, about delivering the right message at the right time.

Jay and Silent Bob: A Dichotomy

They're inseparable, yet polar opposites. Jay and Silent Bob, a study in contrasts.

Jay's extroversion highlights Bob's introversion. Jay's constant chatter underscores Bob's deliberate silence. They're two sides of the same coin.

They have complementary communication styles. Jay expresses their shared thoughts and feelings, while Bob remains a more contemplative presence.

They're almost like two halves of a single consciousness, each representing a different facet of the same idea. Jay is the id, Bob is the superego.

And together, they create a complete picture. They challenge each other, balance each other, and ultimately, make each other stronger.

Silent Bob as the Creator's Voice

He's more than just a character; he's a mouthpiece. Silent Bob embodies aspects of Kevin Smith's own personality and perspective.

He's a way for Smith to give voice to his internal thoughts and observations, to share his philosophies without being preachy.

He offers a glimpse into the writer's mind, a direct line to the heart of the story. He's the one who cuts through the noise and gets to the point.

It's almost as if Smith is using Bob to speak directly to the audience, to share his own insights and wisdom in a subtle, understated way.

And in that sense, Silent Bob becomes a conduit for the creator's own voice, a powerful tool for conveying meaning and nuance.

Beyond a Supporting Role

He transcends the typical sidekick archetype. Silent Bob's thoughtful contributions elevate him beyond a simple supporting role.

He's not just there for comic relief or to move the plot along. He has a significant influence on the narrative, shaping the characters and their decisions.

He challenges traditional character archetypes, demonstrating that even a silent observer can be a powerful force.

He defies expectations, proving that depth and complexity can be found in the most unassuming of characters.

And in doing so, he becomes one of the most memorable and beloved figures in the View Askewniverse. He's a testament to the power of subtle character development.

The Source of Unexpected Wisdom

Wisdom can come from anywhere. Silent Bob is proof that profound insights can come from unexpected sources.

He's an unassuming presence, a quiet observer who doesn't draw attention to himself. But beneath that unassuming exterior lies a wealth of knowledge and understanding.

He redefines our expectations of intelligence, demonstrating that it's not always about being the loudest or the most articulate.

Sometimes, the wisest among us are the ones who listen, who observe, who take the time to truly understand the world around them.

And in a world that often values flash over substance, Silent Bob reminds us that true wisdom lies in the quiet depths.

Communication Beyond Quantity

It's not about how much you say, but how you say it. Silent Bob's communication style emphasizes quality over quantity.

He delivers his messages efficiently and meaningfully, making every word count. There's no wasted space, no unnecessary fluff.

He demonstrates that powerful communication isn't always about volume, but about precision. It's about choosing the right words and delivering them at the right time.

He's a master of brevity, of conveying complex ideas in a simple, concise way. He's a reminder that less can often be more.

And in a world of information overload, that's a valuable lesson to learn. It's about cutting through the noise and getting to the heart of the matter.

The Lasting Impact of Silence

He resonates with audiences, doesn't he? Silent Bob's legacy is one of thoughtful observation and quiet wisdom.

He demonstrates the power of introspection, of taking the time to reflect on our experiences and form our own opinions.

He leaves us with a sense of calm, a reminder that there's value in stillness and silence. He encourages us to listen more, to speak less, and to observe the world around us with fresh eyes.

His impact is subtle, but profound. He's a character that stays with you long after the credits roll, a reminder that sometimes, the greatest wisdom comes from the most unexpected places.
