#( sorry this got dark )

[ask-runaan-anything]

What would you do and how would you react if you found Viren but he wanted to apologize for everything he has done to not only you, but also to the rest of the moonfam and he joined team Zym? Also love your hair!

The dark mage who personally tortured me during the wee hours of my birthday and then cursed me into an evil hellcoin when I refused to be a useful tool in his deadly power grab that threatened everyone I love? That Viren? I don't suppose you have another lying about do you

Well, that entirely depends on if I know I'm about to come face to face with him again.

If I know I'm approaching him, that means I'm hunting him. He wouldn't live long enough to notice me, let alone speak.

If I don't know... well, PTSD flashbacks are never pretty, are they. I doubt I'd be listening much then, either.

I can't navigate this one so long as the broken part of me is still stuck in his dungeon. Might need a helping hand. Someone who's good at repairs.

but my hair thanks you for your appreciation

came back wrong but /you/ came back right, it just took so long for it to happen that the world had changes irrevocably around you and all you knew and loved has gone. and you can't deal with it. you don't remember being dead, why would you, you were dead, but then you're pulled roughly back into a world you don't recognise. the houses on your street don't look the same and you don't know how to work any of your appliances and you can't get the same kind of bread you used to like. you wave to someone you know only to realise it's their kid. you slowly go lose yourself again. when you die you distantly hope its permanent because you don't know how much more change you can take.

i picked a song of my current brainrot zeke’s playlist the roach boy….

this song is very fitting for zeke’s nature as a survivor who should not survive all of the horrible things he does. every time he reawakens, revived again his body IS already a corpse for the next death is already waiting for him. another crack in the ruin. but he comes back without fail. also the “dig out my own intestines” part. he literally does that at one point 😬

And since the hero/villain are constantly fighting, their kid ends up being looked after by the henchmen/sidekicks. When they are "kidnapped" by the villain, the henchmen help them with their homework and give them advice on how to deal with bullies and mean teachers and make them snacks.

Then when the kid is "rescued" by the hero the sidekicks/tech guys make them dinner and breakfast and pack them lunch and take them to school in the morning because the hero parent is off cleaning up after the fight.

The henchmen forges the parent's signatures on documents and go to parent teacher meetings and end up working with the sidekicks to make sure the kid's life is running smoothly and they can go to summer camp.

And the villain and hero are actually pretty sucky parents. They had the kid to fix their marriage but obviously it didn't work out and they are more focused on their work and fights than their kid. Sometimes the hero parent is off doing a photo shoot instead of going to the kid's soccer game. And sometimes the villain parent goes a little too far in the kidnapping scheme and the kid gets scared or doesn't get fed. And the henchmen and sidekicks actually care about the kid and end up becoming their real found family.

we need more hero/arch-nemesis duos whose backstory is being bitterly, bitterly divorced

i finished rewatching hunger games and it got me thinking… who would win, Voltron edition?

- Hunk: killed bc he’s too nice

- Shiro: too obvious front runner. Betrayed and killed by a career.

-Pidge: makes it nearly until the end, but ultimately killed.

- Lance: spends too much time on the edge of the arena, or hiding. killed by game makers

- Keith: absolutely ruthless, unhappy winner of the hunger games

eldritch green lantern ideas:

ring slowly starts fusing with the finger it's on until one day the finger just glows, there's no more ring

bleeding green (duh)

so willful that reality tends to bend around them in small instances, like coffee always being warm or never having to wait for the elevator, or someone nearby tripping

the ring stops translating other languages because they just start understanding/speaking them eventually

the constructs chosen by Earth Lanterns stop looking like Earth items and more alien, older, ancient

Lanterns slowly forgetting to take off their uniforms and just start wearing them all the time

separating them from their ring will cause very, very bad things to happen

not eating or drinking for several days, then several weeks, then several months at a time without noticing

unintentionally feeding (mentally) off of strong-willed people, and even encouraging disagreement just to sit in the middle of it and feel something almost warm again

This...really takes on a significant intensity when extended to people seeking political asylum or trying to cross international borders between a non livable life and a livable one. I'd like to combo it with "the underworld simply being the regions to every culture that are beyond its knowledge" post I saw from a while back into a monstrous analogy of how politics and culture work in our nationalist world. What if you came from a place that was Already Considered dead to another place? What if trying to cross the border is literally trying to cross into the land of the living via the gates of the Underworld? Someone Else's imagination of the Underworld? Gates you didn't build? What if you're in the Underworld of another culture? You're the Underworld to the countries that don't think where you are is worthy of being considered livable? What if you are dead to someone else while you are still living? Where do you go? Are you still alive? How do you convince them to let you into the land of the living? You, a ghost? Where is Your Underworld? Why would they save the boat of immigrants off the coast of Greece? The people in there were already ghosts to that world. You know how the Greeks practiced drawing boundaries between the living and the dead.

And in the liminal space of the airport. Landing but not knowing if you will make it past those doors. All your worldly possessions with you. Not knowing if this is the beginning or the end. Half living and half dead. It feels like you've been here all your life.

going into an airport can count as a trip to the underworld i think

it's all subjective
