#All the gods: We are all so dead

[fangirlingpuggle]

For EPIC au: Where the gods are currently trying to get ride of the Suitors without breaking rules of hospitality, Aphrodite makes the wrong choice to accidentally make half of the suitors be in love with Telemachus, and it’s just chaos on both sides, especially for Aphrodite from the other gods that yell at her for making things much worse. So when Odysseus comes back, and he over hears what the suitors plan to do, he goes from one to hundred and it’s just killing time now.

All while Aphrodite is just trying to stay clean because if Odysseus finds out it’s her fault for half the suits to be in love with his son it’s going to be a flashback of Ruthlessness all over again. Take how you will with my ask, and expand on it and go feral on it. you have my full consent to take it at how ever you want.

I just instantly got the image of Aphrodite being like 'I can fix it, I can fix it, I can fix it' while also trying to explain herself 'Look there was so much tension!' and 'I mean they are kinda cute to-' while all the other Gods are just freaking out because Odysseus is going to end her.

Not just Odysseys but also they are trying to stop Penelope from finding out because if she finds out then she will go full murder mode first on suitors then on Aphrodite. Ares is very proud and would be ok (and very proud) if it was just suitors but he's honestly pretty sure Penelope could actually find a way to kill a goddess if there is one.

Aphrodite also being like 'Hear me out' and trying to justify herself like 'When have I ever been wrong before' and the entire pantheon are just there staring all remembering the fucking Trojan war.

Watching Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron again as an adult is so great because not only do you appreciate the nostalgia and joy of it, the stunning 2D animation mixed with early 3D techonology and well written tight story with a main character that never speaks.

But also you appreciate that the plot relies on horses, despite not being typical talking horses in cartoons, being extremely intelligent to the point that they are aware of their captivity and exploitation. And it involves a hyper intelligent horse dismantling (or, at the very least significantly delaying) American colonialism's expansion into the west.

This horse also very likely killed many colonialists when they were either launched at high speeds from his back, kicked in the head or blown up in a train explosion.

Good for him.

As someone who lived in a home where it was not safe to be queer but their first love was their same-sex best friend, I really cannot emphasize the importance of characters like Charles Rowland enough. As someone who deals with shame from years of self-hate, repression, happy-masking, and being called a "Token ally" by even my queer friends while feeling wrong wrong wrong about it, and being the kind of person who just didn't "Look queer enough" or whatever the fuck arbitrary, exclusionist rhetoric people would casually hurl about, I just really can't believe we have a character like him.

He's complex and deeply scarred and I've never cared about a character like this before. I've never felt so "Seen." I can't wait to save this show because seeing him heal will be like a balm on my heart. His character arc is completely unique and handled with such care that it brings tears to my eyes.

That's all. I am just so deeply thankful for & emotional about Charles Rowland tonight.

god. GOD the Ezra transmission at the end of season 1 still makes me fuckigng sick to think about, especially with the context of Mira and Ephraim hearing it. To think that for eight years his parents had been ripped away from their son all for the crime of speaking out for hope, never knowing what became of their Ezra, of that tiny seven year old left on the streets scared and crying and alone, to spend days and months and years in that awful place with all of that emptiness and then, and then and then and then.

And then they hear their boy's voice again, and they know him immediately, even without name, because of course they do, that's their son, that's their Ezra, and he's speaking out for hope just as they did, and they've been apart from him longer than they ever had him, but his voice is here, his hope is here, and he talks about how they inspired him, how he's carrying on their legacy of courage and community hope, how he has a new family - thank God he has a family, he is safe and he is loved, even if they will never know who has loved him so much as to earn the title of family - and that hope will one day prevail, just as they taught him it would.

They hear his voice, by god they hear his voice, and it's one of the last sounds they ever hear.

can y'all please come into my humble abode and imagine something with me i don't yet have the wits to write a full fledged fic out of (yet)?

so, everyone knows how when you get a tattoo, part of the healing process is the itchy phase, right? and for obvious reasons, you can't scratch it. favored method, in my experience and fellow tatted friends, is to just give it a good old slap.

perfect. so now, with this in mind, can you imagine having gotten a large hip/ass piece, and how mortifying it would be to smack your own ass to soothe that itch? and it's just plain painful. you want your new ink to heal properly - it's gorgeous and you put a lot of time, pain, and money into that damn thing - but it just sucks.

enter best friend eddie.

he loves your new ink. thinks it's fucking sick. nearly creamed his damn pants when he found out you were doing a hip/ass tatt (because how can he ask to see it without being weird? how can he react to that without being weird when he's spent the last several years with the world's most pathetic crush on you?) at first, it's fine. you show him the tattoo in a totally friendly, totally platonic way. he hypes you up, he calls you 'the most metal person he knows'. flourishes you with all the compliments and looks at you with starry eyes out of sheer awe at the way he's managed to snag a person into his life who is just so. damn. cool.

but the days pass by, that new ink begins to heal, and it fucking itches.

when you first proposition him, you're even more embarrassed than he is. stumbling over all your words, the request coming out contorted every wrong way. you don't want to make things weird, but is it really that weird for a friend to help a friend? it is really that weird to ask your best friend to smack your tattoo to help with that itch you can't even really properly reach?

it's just friends helping friends.

and that's the mantra you both repeat to yourselves - as you request the embarrassing favor of him, as he agrees almost too eagerly, as you find yourself face-planted in your bed wondering how deeply you can bury down your shame as he tries to make jokes to make it all a bit less awkward.

it's just friends helping friends, until eddie's hand lands down on your ass with a resounding smack, and that first little whimper escapes your lips.

”—ah. seems like mother goose has been playing around in your egg salad. if you won’t dance to that tune, I got others.”

honestly, the would you kindly scene is whatever to me*, code yellow is the more interesting violation/betrayal of the body because of how beautifully it escalates the Fontaine reveal/betrayal and shows how ugly some of those ‘locks and keys’ that Tenenbaum mentions are. not only have you been a tool in another man’s hand this entire time, it goes deeper. your body is not your own.

*there used to be a meandering thought here about the would you kindly scene, but it was really just talking around the fact that I spent way too many years seeing people discuss it in the most insufferable and reductive ways possible when it’s a combination of three or four other things that make that moment compelling lmao

I could wax on for many, many posts about The Case for Crystal Palace and the amazing chemistry we see between Edwin (George) and Charles (Jayden). But for now, allow me to wax on about this scene.

They are having an emergency meeting in their non-soundproof closet (Guys. Crystal can hear every word.). We know how much Edwin cherishes the agency, cherishes Charles. We just saw an entire montage showing how well they work together, a synchronization formed over decades of working side by side. They're a well oiled machine. Partners. Best mates. And, *insert record break scratch*, change is afoot. There's a live human girl in their office. Edwin's sharp eyes have clocked the way Charles looks at her, and his fists clench at the suggestion that a *human girl* could join their Dead Boys Detective Agency. It threatens EVERYTHING they have painstakingly built over the last thirty years.

There's not even a client! And certainly, they wouldn't allow a kidnapped human child to be their client. That is, to put it simply, not how they work, despite how insistent Crystal is acting as she flings open the closet door and barrages him with opinions that most assuredly do not matter. But then, Charles gives him *that look*. The one where earnestness sparkles in his chestnut colored eyes.

And he says, "Oh, come on, Edwin! Wouldn't it be good to get out of town for a bit?"

And he adds, voice dropping an octave, "...what with Death being in our office so recently."

And the proverbial nail in the coffin, "...and besides. You're really going to let a little American girl die?"

Ah, checkmate.

Edwin sighs, eyes closed in defeat. Charles grins like the Cheshire Cat that he is.

Because, how can he say no to that?

It's honestly wild to me that ToA went through so much trouble to emphasize the fact that Will did not magically fix all of Nico's problems and was explicitly not Nico's only doctor.

Only for TSATS to have Will fix all of Nico's problems and have Nico be entirely reliant on him the entire book and literally helpless without him and LITERALLY have Nico's problems be magically removed.

martlet, trying to navigate clover through the underground in such a way that it avoids having them be detected by the royal guard: it's a shame that ava got totaled while we were steering clear of waterfall where undyne patrols and now we're no longer on a straight shot to your freedom... buuut, on the bright side, we're so far off the beaten path that we won't have to worry about too many people finding you ^v^

starlo, on stage in front of a large audience in one of the most popular tourist attractions in the underground: LOOK EVERYONE! THIS HERE IS A HUMAN! THAT'S RIGHT, A HU

if star wars was pitched for the first time in today's entertainment industry it would be turned down. and so would any other thing that's currently a "big IP". where do idiot executives think the IPs come from to begin with???

saw alot of comments on prev pages; saying 'i HATE that mean teacher! im gonna FIGHT HIM!!' & i LOVE the energy!! it WOULD be nice. to have that catharsis. but the story of young tidestrider is Not one of catharsis. it is a story of being so small and so special and sucking so bad.

I’ve been contemplating it and I think we really need to bring back the concept of the holy fool. I’ll go first

Unpopular opinion: by FAR the most interesting thing about Monty is his fucked-up relationship with Esther. And the forced transformation thing.

I thought I was completely bored by him as character, but then I realized shipping him with the main boys just doesn't really resonate with me, cause, like. He is still learning how to be a person. (Both in terms of thinking independently from Esther, and, like. Physically he's only been in a human body for a few days! 😅)

He wants Edwin because Esther designed him to. Like, yes, he eventually fell for him beyond her influence, but he was literally MADE to seduce Edwin, like. It's hard to argue he has agency there.

idk, I'm not trying to be a hater, but i think exploring Monty's relationship with Esther and his own body and autonomy is much more interesting than shipping him.

There's also the whole question of how much he's even capable of independent thought? Like, does he have human-sized thoughts inside his crow brain? And if so, is that only post-transformation, or has he always had that capability? When he's in human mode, how much of him is still just a bird puppeteering a vessel and following orders?

What does it even mean for him to be Esther's familiar? How old is he, really? Has she killed him before? Has he been any other animals, besides human and crow? Did he start out as a normal bird, or did she create him, like some kind of homunculus?? Was he ORIGINALLY a boy???
