#BUT THEN THE PLOT DIDNT BS IT???M

[goldenqingxin]

i feel that, i know it's not all black and white, but the thing is that their fates are kinda woven into the plot as these inevitable main plot points, and what deviates is only how they get there. it mirrors the ancient greek philosophy that "everyone ends up in hades", no matter what you do, you'll die anyway.

how i think about jason joining luke would be like this, and yeah its a lot that i didnt mention in my original post, but i'd like to offer my thoughts anyway:

a) as a greek+roman demigod (the ONLY ONE in the whole series, mind you, so its hard to tell if this is applicable at all) he wouldn't feel at home anywhere. not in chb, not in cj. sure, cbh in the later hoo books felt like home most of the time, but id like to think his roman upbringing made him yearn for freedom. using that logic, if he was brought up in chb, then the rules and strict training would actually help him, as opposed to canon. (hard to explain, but everything he doesnt like abt cj would be what he likes (EXCEPT CHILD SOLDIER-ING, OBVIOUSLY) and vice versa).

b) his childhood. yeah, if he was born greek, he'd be brought up by chiron and the others at chb. that didnt stop luke though. his dad being a total dick sure all hell isnt going to stop him. luke had trauma due to his mother going insane because of hermes and thats what drove him, along the hope of being recognized by his father and having value to people in general. luke is an extremely complex character, and while i understand most people dont like him for the murder part, as a literature student i understand him on a very deep level. growing up in a world where the only way you can be recognized by your own father is to either die heroically or complete an extremely traumatizing quest is NOT the best. jason, who we know likely has those same frustrations (with cj specifically, especially when he's the son of jupiter/zeus), it would likely eat at him for years. never being sent on quests, never having his value proven. add that to the fact that he's a child of the big 3, and you've got a big problem on your hands. i like to think he wouldn't be killed because he was brought to camp so young by beryl (instead of lupa). isolation, frustration, admiration-- all of that inevitably leads to resentment, just like luke. thalia is a WHOLE other deal, but i like to think that if jason was born greek, thalia would be born roman. not a 1:1 switch, but of the sort. maybe not, even, and it could only get worse because thalia "dies" before they can be reunited, and the image of cruel gods is only reinforced for jason and luke. it's something they could bond over, since luke and thalia lived together on the run for several years.

c) kronos. okay yeah. you were right on that one. he's cruel. he's deceptive. he's a total asshole. but there is a reason why luke tried so hard to recruit percy to kronos' cause despite all the things he's done. percy couldv'e been an asset. if nothing else, he's a weapon. in the end, i believe jason would betray luke in a similar fashion as ethan or silena. information, or just turning the tide. maybe he'd die then. maybe he wouldn't. but the fact that he exists at all is an asset even kronos cannot ignore. the leaders of the titans killed their own soldiers, yes, but they didnt kill luke, even if all he brought was a body to be used. it's all about assets in war, especially with cruel gods like the titans. you cant forget the original gods either. everybody and their mom are assholes. kronos, just for trying to "bring justice" to his children (we know thats BS, but luke and jason didn't), would get on jason's "eh" side. but the thing is, we dont know exactly how he acted during the titan war. we dont have his kill count. we have percy's, and his fatal flaw is literally loyalty, and hes killed in the thousands. jason's fatal flaw is built on his childhood memories, and whos to say he wouldn't kill in order to be recognized (as anything? luke was regarded as a hero as he died. maybe jason would just want to be seen by his father, at all). who's to say he HASNT killed in the legion? we dont get enough of NR's pov for the titan war and that makes me mad, but i am CERTAIN there were demigods protecting the throne on othrys. maybe that loving personality youre talking about is what destroys kronos in the end. it has jason noticing kronos is taking advantage of all of them, and he cant have that.

anyway big fat rant. i get your point, i guess, but with all the right circumstances, jason does have one of the biggest chances at being on luke's side. most of the posts like this also get me cringing a little, including my own (and this one by extension), but ive been thinking about it since i read TLH. pulling the amnesia card was so wrong of rick to do imo, especially since we never know whether he does end up remembering anything.

if nothing else, i'd like to believe jason would at least understand where luke was coming from (like percy did in the end), and maybe empathise with him. if greek jason didnt join him and sided with percy instead, he would still understand luke and what he did and why he did it. because he's nice like that.

(maybe jason betraying them would be luke's final straw before he killed himself. having the one guy you thought fully understood you and shared your anger stand with your enemy.)

there are so many loopholes in my thinking, but most of them are because of the actual canon plotholes. who led the people on othrys? was there a roman equivalent to luke? who defended othrys in general? like i cant believe all of kronos' forces were ONLY in manhattan at the time. there's just no way.

IF JASON GRACE WAS BORN GREEK HE WOULD'VE BEEN ON LUKE'S SIDE. i am in shambles.

his mother was abusive and left him for dead as an infant. thalia left him too, and ended up dying before they could meet again (pre-ttc). he grew up with wolves or at least had to fend for himself since infancy, so he'll always be the odd one out even in a camp where kids just Do that. he's the son of a god who wanted kids just to one-up his brothers. hes the son of a mother who wanted glory and not love. and even then, through wars and quests, he would still do whatever his dad wanted him to to just get that sliver of HOPE to be recognized. thats just how he is.

and then when he realizes his father will never love him the way he wants him to, he'll lose it.

this isnt as coherent as i wish it was but i just realized and it hurts. they are so similar and yet so different.

("i did everything they ever asked, yeah i did, and for what?" is such a jason line..)

4, 11, or 42 with destiel? I'm thinking intently about Them

Okay so here’s the thing.

I thought, “oh wow 4 (An accidental brush of lips followed by a pause and going back for another, on purpose) will be so interesting!!! I’ve got the perfect scene in mind!!

Wait. Wait I kind of want to establish what sort of mindset Dean is in for this to happen. Okay, let me establish the scene and the mindset. Well, I don’t wanna vaguely reference this thing so let me just—

15k later here is your accidental brush of the lips followed by a pause and going back for another. If you well and truly do not want to read this whole thing (and I shan’t blame you) if you skip to the second line break, you’ll have the scene. Like, it probably could have stood on its own but this happened.

Read it On AO3 (or skip to the good stuff undercut)

50 Kisses Prompt List 💕💕

The motel room was quiet. Dean was grateful to be miles away from Florida. The Midwest roads were more familiar. Baby took every inch of road greedily, happily, without cars burning rubber all around her. Steepling his hands on the table in front of him, Dean felt his leg bounce with anxious energy. The small, clay dolphin stared back at him with beady eyes.

He looked up when the bathroom door opened, Cas stepping out without a word. His freshly washed hair clung to his skin. The wound on his shoulder was bright red and raw, but healing. Dean pressed his lips together.

“I can patch that for you.” He nodded to Cas’ shoulder. It was probably the first thing Dean had said to Cas directly ever since they had left Marissa’s apartment two days ago.

Cas paused in his trek toward the bed that held his duffle bag and a sleeping Jack. He inhaled slowly, grabbing the bandages before moving to sit at the table beside Dean. Their knees were a hair’s breadth from knocking against one another. Wordlessly, he handed Dean the gauze and ointment before shifting to place his shoulder between them.

Dean took the ointment, squelching some of it into his palm. He exhaled shakily, slathering it gently over Cas’ wound. Cas barely winced and yet the muscle of his arm felt tense beneath Dean’s hand.

When Dean began to wrap his shoulder, Cas spoke. “Dean,” he called in that gentle, charged way of his. He didn’t continue until Dean could tear his gaze away from the angry wound, look into those blue eyes. “Thank you.”

“You don’t have to thank me,” Dean pushed, reaching for the scissors so that he could cut and secure the wrap. “That’s what we do. Save people. Hunt things.”

“Dean,” Cas whispered, putting his hand to Dean’s wrist and halting his movements. “You saved my life. Jack’s life.” He sighed. “I don’t care that you think this a thankless occupation. I thank you.”

“Cas,” his name felt ripped from Dean’s throat. It felt desperate. Just as desperate as he had felt in that fucking dungeon months ago. A lifetime ago. Where Dean was speechless but begging Cas not to go. Not to say that. Not to bring them both past the point of no return by acknowledging this.

But it was there. The elephant was named. It was stampeding in Dean’s chest and rioting. Thundering and booming in his ears and sending lightning through his veins. They were here and Dean couldn’t ignore it. Or he could—he could—but he had been ignoring it. Ignoring it by pretending it didn’t mean anything. By saying that there was no elephant and thinking that Cas would just be here.

Cas’ gaze flickered over Dean’s face like a waning candle. He was looking for something. Dean wished he knew what the hell Cas was searching for. He would give it to him. He’d give Cas anything he wanted—

He knew what Cas wanted. Cas fucking told him what he wanted.

Whatever he was searching for, he didn’t find. Or maybe he found what he was expecting. Nothing new. Nothing new from Dean who just refused to acknowledge his best friend’s love confession. His dying love confession.

“We appreciate it, Dean.” He said finally. “Not only all the people you save, but Jack and I. We appreciate you, Dean.”

“I know how you feel, Cas.” Dean spoke sharply, perhaps a bit callously. Cas didn’t flinch though. He looked goddamn resigned.

Cas sighed, “I know you do.” He smiled sadly. An echo of that night. “I told you.” Looking at his hands in his lap, Cas huffed a laugh under his breath. He pulled his shoulder away from Dean, straightening in his seat. “Regardless, you know what I think of you. You know that I…”

Dean swallowed heavily. “Yeah, Cas. I know.” Dean reached for the supplies on the table, fingers attempting to catch the gauze tape in his grip. Instead, the tape rolled, threatening to fall off the table’s edge. Dean reached forward thoughtlessly, not realizing he was leaning into Cas’ space until he was there and then—

Soft.

Cas’ lips were soft even with a barely-there brush of their lips. Dean pulled back, the tape forgotten as it clattered to the floor. Quiet enough that it didn’t wake a sleeping Jack, but loud in Dean’s ears. Cas looked at Dean with wide eyes, crystal blue attempting to peer into Dean’s soul.

Dean rested his palm on the table, his forearm brushing against Cas’ bare skin. Inhaling sharply, Dean leaned in again, this time with purpose, tilting his head and brushing his nose along Cas’ cheek.

A sharp inhale from Cas as his eyes fluttered shut. Dean could almost feel it against his own eyes. Something like a butterfly kiss. Parting his lips slowly, Dean tilted his chin until he could feel Cas’ lips beneath his again. Dean’s lips pressed into a firm line, a reassuring pressure against Cas. Cas gasped, shuttering and opening his mouth for Dean to press in deeper.

Taking the plunge, Dean held Cas’ face in his hands, fingers clutching at Cas’ cheeks as Cas, in turn, grasped at his wrists and held him in place. Dean returned Cas’ gasp, inhaling the breath from Cas’ mouth. He could feel his mouth quiver and his body shake where he held himself against Cas.

When they pulled apart—however long it was—Dean held his forehead to Cas’. A lump formed in his throat, closing off his attempt at words. “Cas—”

The pad of Cas’ right thumb swiped at Dean’s cheek, taking him by surprise. He sucked in a shaking breath, opening his eyes to watch as Cas gently swabbed at his cheek. Those damnable tears—the tears Dean couldn’t get out of his head for months—were present in Cas’ eyes. They made his gaze look like an ethereal, shimmering pool.

Dean had seen those tears every time he closed his eyes. Every nightmare he had. But in all of that terror he had experienced in that moment, he had forgotten what Cas was saying. That Cas said he was happy. That the Empty—the Shadow—whatever the hell it was—only took Cas when he was happy.

And now here he was. Happy. Happy enough to cry about it, but without the looming threat of a deal or a god or anything that could take him away from Dean.

“You can’t leave,” Dean whispered, voice scraping a raw path up his throat. “You can’t, Cas. I won’t survive it again.”

“I swear that I will never willingly leave your side,” Cas sighed, fluttering his eyes shut and leaning to press another sweet and slow kiss to Dean’s lips. When he drew back, Dean felt life breathe back into him again. Inhaled it, gobbled it, choked on it until his tears came anew. “I promise, Dean.”

Dean choked on a wet laugh, stealing another soft kiss that Cas was there and offering. “I want you to stay.” He whispered his confession into Cas’ mouth, opening the kiss further, deepening it further. Tame, but reaching. “Please stay.”

“There’s nowhere I’d rather be.” Cas sighed, fingers raking through the short hairs against Dean’s neck with one hand and his right hand clutching in an achingly familiar way against Dean’s shoulder. Dean steadied himself by gripping at Cas’ waist, holding him to the edge of his seat and meeting him halfway.

“God, I love you,” Dean laughed, ducking his head and peering at Cas from beneath his lashes. “I love you.” He said again. Because he could. Because he could stare at this elephant and call it by its name, parade it about and drape it in bright colors with pride.

Cas smiled and it reached his eyes. Dried up his happy tears and flashed his gums. “I know,” he spoke in that gentle rasp of his, like the purr of Baby’s engine.

Dean laughed again, quiet and mindful of Jack. “Oh, you’re such a bastard,” he swallowed Cas’ low chuckle, felt it in his chest, and hungrily asked for more. Cas hummed into his open mouth, a satisfied noise that Dean hoped to hear every day for the rest of his goddamn life.

Ramble On drew them away, Dean’s phone lighting up on the table and alerting him to a call. He sighed, pressed a tight-lipped kiss to the corner of Cas’ mouth for good measure before answering his phone.

“Hey, Sammy.” He rasped, his voice low and gravel-filled. Dean cleared his throat between his words and Sam’s.

“Hey, I didn’t wake you, did I?” Sam asked softly, his little brother’s concern near palpable.

Dean cleared his throat again for good measure, flickering his gaze to Cas. “Nah, I was up. What’s up?”

Sam gave a relieved-sounding sigh. “Finally finished the leg up to the rendezvous. Garth was pretty excited. I think it’s going to work out.”

Leaning back in his seat and closing his eyes, Dean ran a hand over his face. “Good. That’s good,” he answered, and he meant it. He felt fingers intertwine with his own and looked to Cas in surprise. Almost naturally, Dean squeezed his grip on Cas’ hand.

“Marissa’s walking better,” Sam informed Dean. “Alpha healing worked out pretty well. Sometimes I forget how good of a shot you are.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Dean huffed, but couldn’t keep his lips from quirking into a smile.

Sam laughed on the other end of the line and Dean could imagine his eyes crinkling with that puppy dog look of his. “Nothing, old man,” he said affectionately. "D’you guys wanna meet up in Sioux Falls? We could visit Jody and the girls.”

“Sounds good to me,” letting out a sigh, Dean turned to face Cas fully. “Claire and Jack can catch up. I’m sure you and the book club have got a new chapter to gush over.”

Dean could see Sam’s rolling eyes at the remark, but Sam let it slide. “And what are you gonna do?”

Dean grinned, pulling Cas’ hand up to his face, just pressing his lips on Cas’ knuckles for a moment. “I could go for a midnight cruise.”

Cas’ eyes sparked, smile warming like caramel under the soft motel lights. He squeezed Dean’s hand in return.

“Alright. I’m checking into a motel for the night. I’ll call you guys in the morning when I’m on the road.”

“See ya then,” Dean signed off, removing the phone from his ear to hang up. He swiped the red button before turning to face Cas. “I know you and the kid usually share a bed but—” he started.

Cas chuckled under his breath. “I think I might be persuaded.” He teased, dominating eyebrow arching on his forehead in silent challenge.

“I can be very persuasive,” Dean retorted, leaning again to press another soft, earth-shattering kiss to the lips of an angel.

HI BESTIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE

its 🔮 anon here!

it takes a lot of things for me to loathe a character, and even more to loathe a character i adore, so CONGRATULATIONS FROGGY ✨i now want to shove osamu's head against a brick wall✨

(of course i've been an atsumu ghorl this whole time, idk what you're talking about, osamu who? 🤨)

yachi already done with everyone's bs and its only been 4 chapters is funny to me HAHAHAHAHA

meiko shove your fake-ness up your ass, thank you.

osamu shut the f up please you embarrassing yourself-

ALSO PLEASE TELL ME WHAT OSAMU'S NICKNAME WOULD BE FOR Y/N AND TELL ME IT ISNT PRINCESS OR I WILL SLICE OFF HIS FAMILY JEWELS I DONT CARE ANYMORE.

i don't know what to tell you miss ma'am, cuz i've been getting more and more into stories where the mc or y/n is more raw and relatable, and THIS REALLY HITS THE SPOT. lowkey i get sad when people talk bad about self-insert stories or y/n stories and then the reason they do is because of some cliche element majority or a large chunk of writers already dropped.

self insert fanfics are a comfort to me? in a way? idk how to explain it, cuz it sounds weird when i try typing it out loud- but HEAR ME OUT FIRST OKIE? most fics ive read are oneshots or stories that dont require much assessing or reflecting of a situation because most have similar plots aknxjdbdj i know i sound awful akdnidjd and i kind of know what to expect.

on the other hand, the ones written more realistically, like this one, wherein y/n isnt a simp right off the bat of the guys asking for forgiveness, y/n has her great moments and not so pleasant moments, with her inner turmoil and a d e e p dive into theirs and the guys character and providing new insight is where i kinda insert myself kandhsnjs. though y/n doesnt always do what i would do, reading more realistic self inserts help put things into perspective to me. they help me actually think about what i would do in a situation like that and eventually apply what i decided on later in life. like toxic friendships and relationships-

LOWKEY THESE ALSO MAKE ME EVEN SCARED-ER OF MY FEELINGS BECAUSE I KNOW I WOULDNT BE ABLE TO DO WHAT THE BADASS Y/NS DO and i would let whatever toxicity in a relationship back into my life like the idiot i am.

a n y w a y s

im listening to melanie martinez at the moment, and i thought of some.... dark-ish? ideas.

t/w: mentions of blood, murder.

pre-poker face events.

meiko snapped, killed y/n in cold blood with a knife. the guys find her, they help her cover up the murder. they comfort her. kenma or bokuto give in first, they tell the police. the image of y/ns body in a pool of blood was too much, the nightmares got to them.

OR MEIKO AND Y/N WITH "PACIFY HER". like meiko lowkey wanting atsumu and hating that y/n had all his attention, so she sends osamu to get rid of y/n.

or y/n who is also a power hungry woman who wanted to dominate the hyper house and all she needed left was osamu, and he was very much blinded by meiko so y/n sends suga to get rid of meiko (under the pretense for him to get revenge for what she did to him, but really it was so she could get osamu alone.)

lastly-

YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS:

HAVE YOU HAD YOUR 8 GLASSES OF WATER YET? you gotta wash out those toxins and negativity outta your body!

HAVE YOU HAD A FULL MEAL? so you have energy to deal with the bs the world decides to ungeacefully drop on you-

SOME SLEEP? AT LEAST 8 HOURS OF IT? i know you didnt when i asked you in an ask a few days ago 🤨.

SENDS YOU 😤AGGRESSIVE😤AFFECTION😤 AND BADDIE ENERGY ➖👄➖🙏AND GOOD VIBES🙏➖👄➖

much love 💘

p.s. i tagged you in the masterlist of the series i told you about! idk if the notif got through? but have a great day bby!

HEY BESTIE <3333 oh n osamu’s nickname for yn would be cheeks or baby / doll??? don’t ask LMFAO alsoooo i entirely agree abt self inserts!!! m a big ol fan aksjks OHHOHH i love melanie n ur lil drabble ideas are so sick omggg (pps i didn’t see it!! maybe try it again?)

I MADE AN O.C. AND I WANT HELP TO FINE TUNE IT

World/Verse: Harry Potter Name: Malcom Limerick Age: depends on what year Gender: Male Height: 6"4 Orientation: pansexual and flirty Personality: very accepting to people, tries to be cheerful and goofy, can be very serious if need be, has a deep dislike of bullies and is quick to anger with them, tries to hide most things from friends and the like because is afraid they'll dislike them. Background: growing up Malcom had been often picked on for his height and unnatural personality. He would much rather avoid confrontation with people due to the bullying, gained the mental thought that he dint fit in and was stupid dispite his grades. He didnt exactly fit the nerd type or the jockish type. He wasnt both or punk or super outgoing in his schools. By the time he was going into 4th grade Malcom had memorized random facts to annoy the bullies because, hey, maybe they'll go away when they realize he doesnt have anything left to give? Unfortunately nothing really helped. He found ways to distance himself mentally, focus on the few sports he did-swimming, baseball, and gymnastics-, and overall blocking people away. Mid way through 4th he figured out that mental blockage wasnt going to help. Eventually kids went from bullying and harrassment to ignoring him and making sure nobody would go near him. The teachers acted as if he was a prodigy, but that cant be true! He was practically failing! By the time 5th grade reared around he had 2 concussions from being an idiot and another from a car crash. His parents fought more and his dad drank more then most parents did. He decided he needed to up his nonchalance with his attitude. He smiled more, took to acting out and annoying people so people couldn't ignore him anymore, and he did everything to make friends and stay normal. He gave up on trying for better grades and become smart for once because no matter what he was a complete idiot! His A+s slowly became Bs then barely holding on to a C. About two months in his new grade and he found another outdated kid. His name was Levi. Levi-he wasnt a good friend. But he was someone to talk to. Their conversations went from random blabbering of scientific theories to how horror films could become real. It wasnt long into the friendship did Malcom realize Levi was scary. Levi went on little tangents of how to murder someone without anyone finding out. Everytime Malcom tried to veer the conversation another way Levi caught on and brought the murderous plots full throttle. But Levi was the only one to talk to him. Everyone else hated or ignored Mapcom so they NEEDED to be friends. And honestly? Malcom was afraid of being alone. His parents fought and he stayed in his room blocking the noises if the arguments of some over do of alcohol from dad or how to make up what happened with the new car wreck dad did while drunk. He had terrifying thoughts of just dying and it going away, heck he remembers curling up outside of the house because randomly he would remember some bully or his parents fighting and everything became too much! He needed a distraction and he found one I worrying about Levi. Halfway through 5th Malcom was sure he was depressed and had thought that he was an insomniac from only starting to sleep at 3-4 in the morning. Him and Levi didnt change much besides the murder and gore becoming more realistic. That is until lunch when Malcom and Levi sit down and Levi pulls out a slightly pointed wooden knife and tries to stab Malcom. Malcom starts to panic, expecting blood to pour and slowly die. But nothing more really happened except a dull throb from the new bruise. Thank God he had on a hoodie that stopped the sharp edge. We looked up at Levi in surprise after his brain fully processes. Levi starting eating lunch after muttering that it needed to be sharper or something. A teacher later found the knife in his pocket and monitored Levi a bit. Malcom had gained a new fear of his only friend. Besides being stabbed by his friend Malcom still had horrible issues. His new teacher seemed to grow a dislike for him. He did is essays late and yeah he k ow hes going to get chewed for it. But then his teacher signs him and about 5 other males on detention during lunch and brake periods. His mom got a note and she lectured him for a while. Dad found out and had a good yell. His grades got to an even B by the end of the month when detention would start. Kids found out about the detention and that got a whole new speel of "Loser Limerchick" and other such names. And dang it Levi freaked when he realized he wouldn't see Malcom as much. Levi even fought his way to the detention area to press real close and whisper thinly veiled threats. By the end of the year Malcom had gotten friends in detention. Aeden, Logan, Liam M, Nathen T, and Harriet. They formed the male rejects and banded together for almost everything. That was except for when Levi was involved. Levi scared them off when detention was over, Levi would chase them down and threaten them, heck Levi even made sure to harshly rip Malcom away from them and sit somewhere else. School ended and everything started falling. His report card was a few A-s, Bs, and C+s. Nothing too bad but "you have to try harder" and some words of you'll eventually do better. The Male Rejects became lost in the bustle of summer and Levi moved to Ohio-promising to keep in touch and meet up later. And so summer began. It was about his birthday- August 10th-when he recieved a letter. And dang it time to go to another school! Fresh start hopefully. He was sorted into Ravenclaw-which he found utterly preposterous because he was in no way smart- and settled in relatively nicely. When he met up with Hermione in a study group friendship became instantaneous when the started rapid firing how some of the complicated spells worked and how math and literature fit into spell work. A week into the friendship he met Ron Weasley who was slightly quick to assume and Harry Potter who was slightly brash but loyal. When they became friends he vowed to never brake his wide yet fake smiles and protect them with his entire life. Best keep the trauma boss in a rapid moving river then in front of his friends. Being around Harry atracted Draco Malfoy and that sent red flags everywhere. Malcom often got between the two and in some occasions Malfoy and Malcom had gotten into rapid fire insults and the occasional fist throw. Soon the Headmistress and Albus Dumbledore got him on detention and threatened his leave. He promised to both the teachers and his friends he wouldn't hit Draci again but still that wouldn't stop the constant rebounds Nalcom would make to an insult. And that my peeps is Malcom Y. Limerick of America and Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Sorcery.

Tbh i personally dont think u sound like a g1 purist at all(granted i also hate that term as its just used to shut valid critiques, esp from poc) i also hated the “OH NO DEUCE IS ASKING FRANKIE INSTEAD!!” It was so forced & cringe to watch, OH NO !! Deuce asked frankie & cleo if they-wanna go the prom as friends OH NO TRULY TERRIBLE SUCH DRAMA!!/sarcasim, for toradeen tho i ironically prefer g1 over g3-yeah toralei was a jerk but that was rlly it-she was just annoying, In g3 she was straight out racist despite the show pretending like she never was-she straight out complined about clawdeen being in MH just cause shes part human-its a big issue i had w their suddon friendship too n her defending clawdeen from her mon cus like?? Girl didnt u litrealy say the same things abt clawdeen?? I do agree however that the comic should have focused on them getting toghter-i was dissapointed to find out it was mainly abt two new characters & not how the two girls got toghter

The stereotyping doesnt stop at race/enthicity-twyla got a very high pitched voice n while yes the actress is autistic & has a voice like that shea confirmed she wanted the actress to make her voice high-she wanted twyla to be “adorable” n as someone who is autistic-this all just comes off as infantalizing - also your friends completly right, clawdeens bio specificly lists her as being “a biracial human” , her mom is most likely to just be a darkskinned mestiza woman and yeah like you said clawdeen being latina doesnt at all effect anything abt her character outside of her brother & mom havin accents, it feels like a last mintue addition(the first time it was ever mentioned was in her music video-not even the movie) you can take it out n nothing would change unlike other afro-latine characters like miles, that tamale scene was also rlly cringy to see-so many Mexicans called out how the two of them were eating it incorrectly(eating it w the shell) they didnt even do the bare minimum research on the food they were representing 😭

I would love to see it once its up! I actually had a mutual of mine point out that frankie having a tailsman makes no sense, their the only frankenstein monster-why would there be an acient tool made for a monster that wont come to exist till now?? While i am glad they did go the “clawdeen only changes into a human cus shes part human” like the movies did-the “half human” plot is still a really cringe terrible metaphor for being biracial & can be easily taken out just like witches being humans,like you said werewolves r already half human(w the word itself translating to “man wolf”) n clawdeen + clawd themselves r litrealy no diffetent then the other werewolves, we already had much better characters in g1 that served as a metaphor for being biracial (jackson & the hybreds) , Beasters & Z-O-M-B-I-E-S also had a similar plot to brand new animal n its so uncomfantable- monster high was the few medias i seen that actually tackled the race metaphors rlly well since the monsters were rlly no different then humans just in apperence, it was so refreshing to see so now having them activly go n kill innocent humans n even try to eat their friends human dad is so depressing

I seen ppl explain that hades is actually satan but they just had to call him hades instead cus of christain parents n that to me is (no offensive) BS-heaths dad was always plained to be hades, the issue is america loves to insert christanity into everything so assume hades must be just like satan when his not

The school not realising clawdeen is selenas daughter reminds me of how hazbin hotel has husk(alasters slave) be an overlord(an important figure in the shows ver of hell) yet no one not even LUCIFERS DAUGHTER realises that he is an overlord

Monster high G3 rant

Watching the TV series and I’m kind of disappointed.

This will be my second watch of season 1, I’m rewatching after the current season 2 episodes.

the show feels very flat in my opinion. They’ve given the characters a lot of cool traits, but they’re used for like one episode and then never brought up, or they only use one specific trait 24/7. Like Frankie in this generation, they have the ability to electrocute, extend their body parts, and they get visions from the people they’re made out of. Specifically they get visions from this one recurring doctor/ scientist. The idea is cool, but the vision literally is there to give exposition about something conveniently. Like when they are trying to solve the puzzle of clawdeens mom, Frankie’s vision just conveniently tells them what to do and how to do it.

In that same episode, we see manny taur. A Minotaur character. And right away we are just told that he’s good at puzzle solving, and so is draculaura! They’re rivals! But this is the first time I’ve ever seen or heard about draculaura being into puzzles, let alone her one sided rivalry with manny. And as the episode ends, she’s like “well you can be the rightful puzzle master” but it feels so flat. There has been no build up to this moment.

Another example is lagoona. In her designated episode, she is rooting for torelai to win the fear-leading captain over draculaura (another thing that has no build up as to why it’s important to her) lagoona explains that torelai is holding a secret over her head, and if it gets out she will lose her status as the fiercest monster in school. But this is the first time we have heard this!! In previous episodes there’s no mention of her being scary or fierce. Or even her super fast swimming skills. It’s just brought up and glosses over with a “be who you are, it’s okay to like what you want! We all have secrets 🥹” but there’s no real character development.

My last example will be the way draculaura is presented in this series. From what she tells us, she has high standards to live up to as a vampire. She needs to look good for her day so she studies endlessly and is striving for perfection. But she also has a love for witchcraft, which is banned in monster high due to its connections to humans. This can be a cute premise, but they NEVER show draculaura compared to any other vampire to show how she’s supposed to act. They never give us episodes where she blows off her friend’s shenanigans because it makes her look bad, and they never really show her dad being so overbearing. They don’t show us WHY humans are hated. And even though witchcraft is banned, whenever anyone finds out about it they’re just cool with it? No push back or anything. The only character to challenge draculaura was torelai.

This all may be very nitpicky, but MH is a character driven franchise. Character relationships with each other and their surroundings are very important to me. I want to feel the so called pressure these characters are being put under. It doesn’t have to be ultra serious 24/7, but issues get resolved within one episode and then rehashed a few episodes later with no further development. Especially with characters like Cleo and lagoona. They have been benched as side characters in this show, and side characters get much worse treatment.

‘The general episode progression is like this - introduce an issue, introduce a high stakes situation that involves the school, have all or one of the main 3 engage in a sequence of fights against this issue(or rapid solving of said issue through convince) - issue is resolved and lesson is told to viewers-characters reset for the next episode.

I know this is a children’s show, but that doesn’t mean it needs to have bad writing, not all kids are high off cocomelon. Kids deserve good writing in their media!

My next rant will be about clawdeen and her story this generation

[kingofhearts709]

i currently have a 17k word count namjoon/yoongi doc and i dont think im even halfway done yet *whispers* send in asks abt it if you wanna know what its abt

[aleatorys]

im lit the worst at these but hi everyone i’m amber ( they / them ) and i'm a sleepy uni student who doesn't know what they're doing w their life. the coolest thing abt me is that i saw fx one time in london and almost fainted because victoria looked in my direction for a millisecond and thus started my addiction to groups that r banished to sm��entertainment’s dungeon. my latest addition 2 my gang of oc’s is junehyun who goes by he / them pronouns, my latest soft but hard bab who i adore w my whole heart and hope you do too. if you’re up for plotting feel free to like this, otherwise you can hmu on disc*rd which is just as gr8  - RUDELOVE#5604.  anyways lesss go

tw: abortion mention, and anxiety disorder !

- as aforementioned this is junehyun but please call him june for everyone's sakes. summed up he’s a quirky demiboy w/ a little bit... of an inferiority complex, major m*mmy issues + a thirst for affection

-  sorta been in a bad spot with his mum for like, his entire life. he was an accidental curse as a result of a one night stand and his mum was, at the time, too poor to afford an abortion so she had to leave her job and look after his ass (which she has no issues in reminding him of). 

- it wouldn’t have been as bad if she didnt have an occupation that would’ve been impacted on much throughout the stages of pregnancy, but june’s mum was Not Your Average Woman. she’d been taught ballet since she was 5 years old, got accepted to the korean national ballet agency at 17 and then at the time of the pregnancy was offered a slot at the most prestigious vaganova ballet academy in russia. turning down that offer was prolly the starting point of her angst towards june tbh. 

- it's a little complicated and he probably doesn't want to talk about it but it comes down to... how he’s so unwanted and she makes no effort to make him think otherwise, because it’s true. communication is hard with someone who makes no effort so he’s also shy, introverted and quiet as a result. 

-  if you don't know him too well you probably think he is the chillest person on the planet... and he is pretty chill probably like 70% of the time but if you're friends with him then you know that he wears his heart on his sleeve and can act really quickly on his emotions. like... he doesn't hide them well, but he doesn't really display them in ways that make sense if you aren't used to it. he has a lot of... anxiety about a lot of different things.

- he loves dance, indisputably, he’s garnered a love through it from his mother.  he loves everything about dancing ... and most of what he's doing in the academy is """exploring""" with routines, different techniques and taking up diverse dance classes, ballet is his favourite but hip hop is probably were he shines best. and no ballet is not just for girls miss him w that gender constrictive bs !!!1

- june is a lil hard to get to know... he’s shy. also he’s just not good at making friends because he’s very loyal to the ones he has (a little in love with each and every one of them, oh no!). he usually seems pretty out-of-it but in fact is usually emotionally attuned to the people around him

- he can be petty tho... holds a grudge for like 12 years... at a minimum

- was not that good at academics. PASSED, obviously, but classwork for him was really not a good way to learn

- possibly a stoner? possibly an anarchist? possibly a shitposter? possibly all three at once?

- he’s not that awesome at Actually Taking Care of himself. like, he can do it but essentially bodily concerns (ie: keeping hydrated, eating things besides candy, living on a stable schedule) don't really occur to him a lot of the time. too busy livin' life i guess

- random facts r that he stress bakes and is terrible at baking so like when he's stressed and coping w it a lot of his friends, his roomates, and the people passing by the messiest dorm room evr he’s in get to deal with rock-hard cookies and "are these lumps of charcoal" ("they're EDIBLE")

- why was that relevant amber? i dont know a fucking thign my guy

- also has a scottish fold named lemons but sometimes ditches him with people please mark down your name in alphabetical order if you'd like to babysit

- positives 2 him is that he likes to make a friend and stick w them for life. like i said he's not awesome at making new friends purposefully, so probably won't have as many friends as? his friends have? THAT SAID! they're usually very easy to get along with, v nonjudgmental, kind of ridiculous but cute and fun. if u put in the effort to begin with he'll probably eventually reciprocate and then you'll be stuck with him for life (ways 2 interact with him: be a former classmate at his high school, classmates, current "dance buddies”, share his excitement abt paranormal acitivity shit since he loves aliens.. and/or CANDY, babysit his cat, let them crash on your couch, have a dog he can pet,)

- negatives wld be that As Previously Noted he holds grudges for like 12 years so if you were actually mean (as opposed to fake mean, slash teasing, whatever) to him like once when he was a second year... He Remembers. doesn't like people who have beef with his friends, doesn't like people who tell him what to do when they're not friends. he’s kinda natalie portman in the black swan in that he’s OBSESSIVELY addicted w being sort of above average? he gets jealous of things so easily istg he’s like "oh haha i dont hate them *sees them succeed* im going to demolish them." so it’s an issue

- other necessary info is that he’s demiromantic and pansexual, he falls in love w literally everyone and he needs to stop. probably. anyways please plot i think i’ve written 2 much again weeps 

[foxaes]

small info dump abt my sister and I’s x-men au fan characters:

Okay so our characters (Arcelia and Silica) are roughly the same ages as the group that was part of Xaviers institute and later the JGS, events with their story are mostly in line with canon, but diverge into an entirely different story around... like right after Wolverine’s death. Immediately after, even. 

ARCELIA: So, Arc’s an empath, but like, more than that. She can read, mimic, and alter neural responses. So more like a neuropath, but it’s primarily focused on the senses and physical feelings, so she calls herself an “empath”. She was born with solid black eyes to a very religious family; they didn’t cast her out or anything. Actually, they really loved her! But she had debilitating migraines, was hyper-sensitive to light, etc, so she was p much kept in the house at all times, homeschooled, etc. The result was a very isolated, very quiet child who had no idea what mutants were or that she was one. When her powers properly manifested, she was unable to control them and resulted in hyper-sensitivity to all of her senses so horrible she could not function. She was sent to Xavier’s and psychic blocks were placed to keep her safe and limit her powers. She kept to herself mostly, but enjoyed the school environment. 

Later on, M-Day, when mutants were almost eradicated/all depowered happened and Xavier goes missing, those psychic blocks are lost and her powers come back full force. She is again unable to control them, and dampeners are implanted in her skull. While she’s recovering, the events following M-Day happen (re: purifiers, deaths of her classmates, sentinels, move to Utopia). She briefly goes home, but chooses to go to Utopia with her surviving classmates. From then until the JGS is opened (where she ends up going to), her personality changes pretty radically. She becomes extremely passionate about mutants and their survival, cares deeply for those around her, becomes more outspoken and rebellious, etc etc. 

Now caught up to canon, she meets Silica, and alongside a canon character (who was MIA in comics until just recently so we Took That and Ran With It) form a team thats... well they 10000% agree w Summers so theres that.

SILICA: Silica’s backstory is much more isolated- she’s an extremely powerful mutant, can control matter (tho its limited to plastics for a long time for some reasons). At some point is taken into a secure facility and experimented on/trained/etc for a very, very long time. She ends up breaking out eventually, and is traded off to the JGS. She’s a natural born leader, the epitome of a Leo, and Can and Will fight everyone. She likes telepaths a lot. 

[ POST CANON CHARACTERS: these are all OCs that are like. they come after our plot splits from canon and therefore are genuinely ocs]

AIRI: Arcelia’s daughter. Arc goes on this revenge quest against the Purifiers, ends up getting tangled up with a certain clawed half-japanese mutant whos the son of a clawed mutant we all know and love, and unintentionally gets pregnant (it was thought that she was incapable of having kids re: terrigen mists). She has her at 18. Arcelia initially does Not see Airi has her daughter. There’s a combination of losing everything that had been driving her for so long suddenly, not having wanted a child at that point of her life, and feeling obligated to have said child bc no other mutants were being born, and then not knowing what to do. This gets resolved before to long but like, its a whole Thing. Surprisingly, her relationship with her mother is fine down the road. 

ROSAIRE: Rosaire is an oc who gets caught up in Arcelia’s life shortly after she is caught and tried for her revenge quest. IE, he finds her and keeps her in hiding because someone who cares about her is paying him to. He doesn’t like to get involved in superhero bs (despite being a relatively strong mutant himself). They become friends over the following months, and he sort of joins their team as a +1 when things blow over. When Airi is born, Rosaire, who has experience with babies, helps Arcelia take care of her. They end up being a thing but not until like, four years of being practically married. I would describe them more as best friends/co parents then dating, and their marriage was more of a celebratory event for everyone else, since they didnt feel like it was necessary. They were in it for the long haul either way. 

QUIRINA: Silica’s kid. Silica is actually incapable of carrying a child full term. But she was banging a phoenix host and things have a way of happening. Quirina is essentially a miracle child who is potentially destined to host a giant fire bird from space but she really just wants to Live a Bit. 

Zacharie: a fucking mess from a different universe/timeline who accidentally blew his up. He now floats in the void, eternally, living off of phoenix energy, trying to find someone who can help him rebuild it. Spoiler, its impossible, but he may just find a new home in the process.
