LANGST TIME PART 2 BECAUSE I AM DRUNK AND NETFLIX DENIED ME VOLTRON

part 1

at one point Lance at one point during training is unable to turn his bayard back to a gun from the blade form.

he has a panic attack because he feels like he is losing more of himself than he already did

Lance is unable to look at Allura after that of shame of being scared/ anxious/ mad that he has such a legacy on his shoulders. Alfor's

One day Lance wakes up and goes to have food. he enters and leaves and realizes no one in the kitchen acknowledges he was there.

Lance one time did not speak to another person for over 10 days

there are days when red would shut down and not listen to Lance if the castle or the paladins are not in immediate danger.

Lance forgets what his grandma looks like after he uses the group exercise machine. He puts it on and realizes the picture of his grandmother comes up blurry.

Lance secretly never gives up in piloting the black lion and at times still tries when he knows no one is watching.

Omega4Omega JiuYuan ends up with Shen Yuan adopting all the disciples me thinks

Also Shen Jiu is always like, one wrong move from tearing the throat of any nearby Alpha out of their bodies

Oh the disciples love Shen Yuan, and in return Shen Yuan adores the disciples. Shen Jiu is constantly rolling his eyes and telling him that he coddles the children too much but Shen Yuan just gives him a sweet smile, unhidden by one of his stolen fans that he seems to like so much, and tells him someone has to if he won’t.

Shen Jiu is more willing to accept Shen Yuan spoiling his students after the first time he hears one of them call his A-Yuan shimu. Well he is after he dragged Shen Yuan back to their home and showed him exactly what he thought of his students thinking Shen Yuan as his wife did to him. (If he himself starts to treat his students a little more gently so Shen Yuan doesn’t frown at him and sleep in the spare room then that is his business and anyone stupid enough to say anything about it frankly deserves what he does to them)

Shen Jiu is always willing to murder any alpha. At all times. This man would tear an alpha’s throat out with his teeth if given the slightest reason… which is unfortunate for his martial siblings who are mostly alphas. His is however incredibly protective over other omegas, particularly his disciples. He and Qi Qingqi have an understanding when it comes to new omegas and by understanding I mean they will go to war over claiming them as their disciples but will team up if it means one of the alpha peak lords not getting them.

He has even growled at an alpha on Shang Qinghua’s behalf and to this day neither of them will admit it ever happened.

Not everything goes as planned, and not every angel is meant for the light.

Some are angels of death.

I'm sure this has been beat to death by now, but my favourite aspect of Sam as a character is the fact that he truly does encapsulate one of the most pervasive themes in the game, the theme of being humane. Sorry for the really long ramble but I just wanted to get this off my chest and just genuinely commend the game for what it does with its protagonist. Be warned for spoilers for the whole game and some endings.

From the begining, Sam is shown to be an empathetic character, despite being a pseudo-silent protagonist. As different as every route can be, Sam always feels some form of very human remorse. He feels remorse over killing cursed individuals when he reflects in the mirror. He feels remorse for fucking up the ritual and damning the astronomers. He feels guilty over taking the resources of people who have become cursed, even though he knows that they won't be using them anymore. At least once per playthrough, he experiences some form of remorse towards another party.

As far as a reach as it is for me to say this, I personally saw the dialogue options that players can pick as Sam's own thoughts and the specific thoughts that you choose to pick are the thoughts that become fully realised and are added to his overall character for that playthrough. There are often a lot of dialogue options that are negative or reactionary. Yet every single time, there's at least one positive one, one where he feels empathy, one where he believes there is hope for an individual despite how bleak the situation may seem. Or at the very least he chooses to be civil and non-discriminatory towards a cursed person.

As grotesque as the game is and as twisted as the Cursed become, they're still human, they're still people even if not physically apparent. And 9 times out of 10, they still behave like people. My favourite aspect about the game is that there are some characters that seem like they're too far gone, that they only wish to hurt people and yet if kindness is extended towards them, they can still be saved. We see this with the hidden-away garage. The fish and chips shop. The Cursed are still willing to trade and salvage the situation as best as they can. They're making the most out of a shitty situation despite struggling interally with their sanity and adjusting to newly formed bodies.

Choosing to be humane at the end of the world is one of the best things about Sam's character. Nobody would hold it against him if he were to kill cursed individuals indiscriminately. There are several characters that he can befriend who have done the same like Hellen. But being given the option to negotiate, the option to talk and to extend an olive branch, he takes it. He talks to cursed individuals who are lucid, he even befriends a few like Joel. Even in the ending where he becomes a swarming mass of arms and feels overwhelmed by his new ever expanding form, even though he is so scared, he took a moment to calm himself down, pick himself up and get to work helping people. Even as a borderline Lovecraftian being, he actively chose to be the driving force for good. Even though the prior examples I listed are choices that can be made by the player, this ending proves that Sam is a genuinely good and humane person. In the 104 Gods ending, the gods still destroyed parts of humanity and even divided it further. In the Screaming Sky ending where the astronomers ascend into a unified god like entity as the Exhaulted Four, they were actively destroying the planet and killed random people in an unpredictable bloody purge. Every other instance of people being presented with this awesome change, they were destructive, unintentionally so due to insanity, but ultimately destructive. The sole exception to these realities is Sam. When he's aware of what he's become, he helps, he becomes the Saviour of Humanity. He could've been like any of the 104 Gods, start his own cult/ community, be the supreme ruler of Earth because like with the gods, who could stop him. But he didn't, and that's what truly does differentiate him. The Gods could've been lucid and with how they actively do rule over the earth in their respective zones, it appears as though they are. And yet we have Sam, a god in his own right, but is a good person (well except for the Perfect Ritual ending where he overwhelms the earth Xin Amon style but I attribute that to losing himself completely as opposed to his character's intention).

As corny as it may sound, Sam truly does choose to be kind as opposed to choosing the 'right' option of caving into fear and attacking enemies/ isolating himself. To Sam, being a kind person is not dependent on appearance, it isn't dependent on what you can personally get out of helping another person but it's about being a helper of your fellow man, regardless of everything that is happening. No matter the route, no matter the player's input, that humanity is always there and I admire that about him.

OORP: I hope all of you know that half of what I say isn't even satire, I am 100% the type of person who would steal baby geese from the park (the only thing keeping me from doing so is my mother) and trust me when I say that if I had the time and patience and also intelligence to build a ray gun that can make men (and any woman who would want so) pregnant, then it WOULD BE DONE.

okay I’m thinking about it being the Island Sanctuary—especially the sanctuary part. here is Tataru who watched you tentatively walk into the waking sands. probably did all the paperwork to get you settled in with the scions. watched with bated breath as adventure after adventure swept you up in its path. Carried you to greater and greater heights and watched you grow. Watched you take on all these burdens out of love and duty.

How through all of that she probably still thinks back to you so fresh faced and walking through those doors. how much she loves how far you’ve grown, but is so scared of how hard it’s been. She can only do so much to help; she’s just a simple girl—she knows money, politics and how to sew. she cannot do fantastical things.

So she does what she does best and she comes away with a whole island. just for you. a place all to your own—to do with as you please. A place to rest. A sanctuary. far far away from the stress of life. because god if she doesn’t think about that baby faced adventurer who came through her doors so very very long ago

The two timelines structure of yellowjackets is so interesting as a story device because we find out that despite appearances the adults are still very much in the same places that they were to begin with in the teen timelines. They are all marked and stunted by the trauma they underwent and none of them fully moved forward in their development. So then the challenge becomes; how do we give their teen selves enough dimension and development to be interesting and realistic while finding some way of circling back and keeping them in this state of arrested development as adults, without there being an unrealistic disconnect between where they are as teens and adults.
