I keep seeing Wei Wuxian slander (libel?) And I won't stand for it. Wei Wuxian is not a bad cook. He just happens to cook food that is very spicy because that's how he likes it. Other people who like spicy food would probably also like it, and people who are not used to spicy food will not. This does not make him a bad cook, this just makes his food toxic to people like Lan Wangji (and me)

thinking of slightly changing hiisi's character in that he's no longer actually dragonborn in the canon of his/anfisa's story but is frequently mistaken for being a "second" dragonborn as he's often seen with anfisa and they both escaped from helgen together. which he uses as a bit of a con on folks until he gets sick of being publicly recognized

Also how Adonis said the reason UNDEAD never tried anything new from their original style was due to how adamant Koga was about sticking to their immoral style, most likely barks & yells about it. It deals with Koga's clear desire to keep him comfortable in a space he knows. But, this also puts into effect how clearly Rei took Koga's feelings into account. As the leader, he could have still gone through with any of the prior suggestions for additions or changes, but when Koga spoke up about being against it, they wouldn't do it. That'd be the end of it. Sure, Koga might've still fought against it, as it'd not be his safe space, but after all, the leader's word goes & more than likely Koga was the only one opposed to anything. Yet, Rei took Koga into consideration into the decision not to do it.
Thus, it's huge progress for Koga to finally be willing to learn & adapt different styles recently with Adonis' to-the-point words of wisdom getting through Koga's thick skull. To adapt UNDEAD to not get left behind & allow their growth as a unit to blossom forward. Adonis being more talkative now to keep Koga settled is a big help since at the moment Rei can't talk to him.

sometimes i think about my spn oc and how i rewrote everything about amara to interact with the story i was trying to tell about her. there were some really neat ideas in that i need to recycle for something one day. like, in the show proper, they just let amara take over a human baby and that’s fine, but amara’s not Meant To Be Here. this entire universe is one constructed in her absence. saying she can possess a human body should be like saying if you took a person and sent them to a universe where 1+1=3, they could just figure out how to function within that.
which in story took the form of Amara being something that could not be Understood, only Rationalized. a force locked outside the narrative who could only get inside and destroy things if given a role within it. by the Winchesters as A Monster To Face. by Chuck as Wayward, Unreachable Sister. and by miss oc as. simultaneously a projected creature to be saved, an amalgamation of injustices done to herself (and others) that would never be righted but could be made up for by being a part of this. and as something impossibly powerful that could be both protection and purpose.
and the Darkness wasn’t any of those things, really, but to have agency in her own story required new shackles, but ones she was always straining against. she wouldn’t fit inside the confines of a human mind, let alone a body, at least not well enough to leave it Intact. like lucifer burning through nick, but Worse. because the burns were an expected outcome of skin not strong enough to hold him. humans were built for angels, some were built better and some worse, but they’re meant to work. putting amara in human skin should disconnect the skin and mind and soul from the reality her brother built itself, i think. slowly. bit by bit.
and at the same time, i’d gone and written the kind of wild scenario you really can only write for your thirteen year old mary sue, given that spn oc the part of herald/high priestess/failed vessel. which she pursued with wild abandon like that would fix anything wrong with her <3
in the end, running alongside the borrowed family theming of the original show was my own theme of “how much self-annihilation will you accept to make your point. are you accepting it, really. or are you seeking it.” not just physically, in letting something unmake the base components of what you are as it tries to fit inside you or in it constricting and suffocating itself beyond self-recognition to get inside in the first place, but, obviously, it’s supernatural, how much selfhood do you cede to your family. is it worth it.
it was interesting, if nothing else. let thirteen year old me cook. she had ideas.
