OTHER PERSONAL INFO:
During her sophomore year of college, she met literature student Jonathan Seibert. They dated for about a year before they got engaged. Unfortunately, in 1979, as they were driving from the airport to Martha's childhood home, they were hit by a drunk driver. Jonathan was instantly killed while Martha survived. As she had been driving the car at the time, she blamed herself for his death and her grief deeply affected her future relationship with Ray.
After the car accident, Martha began suffering from chronic pain in her left knee. She regularly attends physical therapy to help cope.
Martha originally wanted to be a doctor, but decided to pursue nursing instead in order to please her father, who was very old-fashioned and whom she admired. After receiving her nursing degree, she had trouble finding an open position in a hospital and took a job as a school nurse.
Jonathan's nickname for her, "Titania," came from the faerie queen in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
She had been selected from birth as an emissary and a vessel for Tiamat; following Tiamat's defeat, she broke things off with Ray (whom she didn't know was planning on proposing to her) out of both guilt for her actions under Tiamat's control and because she still hadn't fully grieved Jonathan's death. She moved to Paris for a fresh start, attending medical school there, and has lived in France ever since.
INSPIRATION: Empress Elisabeth of Austria (Elisabeth das Musical), Emily Grace (Murdoch Mysteries), Jenny Moran (Ghostbusters - IDW Comics), Martha Jones (Doctor Who), Elliot Stabler (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), Ava Bekker (Chicago Med), Karen Vick (Psych), Izzie Stevens (Grey's Anatomy), Wanda Maximoff (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

and! barbarian!fig! its her
#fantasy high#dimension 20#figueroth faeth#fh class quangle#if u look at the junior year design and think tifa lockhart: yeag#I already thought the cleric!gorgug junior year design kinda is very aerith so. lol#but! I do feel like these designs maybe portray the clearest arc out of all of them so far. I like that#some of it came from a bit of necessity which is really fun that mirrors the actual play format thats cool#(necessity being freshman year riz is pretty much a huge block of red flannel lmao. kinda stole figs canon color coding for a bit)#(and he's got the owlbear jacket from taping the games in sophomore year... so I cant give fig the big red blocking until#junior year lmao. coincidentally this forced me to be a bit more dynamic with her concept which is great)#her second pair of shoes very sonic tho. I kinda enjoy that lol#tbh I really love that canon gorgug is like in a pair of chucks 24/7 that is SO funny for a barbarian I hope to keep the energy going#with class swap fig I think a barbarian who wears like collector sneakers is awesome. the foot support is so important to their work#the general idea of a hyperfem girlypop barbarian still ticks for me tbh. idk enough abt the zeitgeist to know if thats passé now or not#but doing Fashion on ur job of bodily tearing ur opponent apart with the least flourish possible is just a hit for me#her knee brace is from like an injury back in her cheer days that she got by overexercising in hope of being good enough that#the team couldn't let her go. the team then used that same injury as a pretext to let her go#I think abt her arc tbh... fig's thing in canon junior year abt the point of her rebelling. I feel like a lot of it can also apply to rage#both knocking things over and holding onto things don't like. make anything new. destruction without at least a glimpse of a vision#of the after is ultimately a cynical defeatist point of view... strategic barbarianism for fig babeyy#yay! once again its time for me to Fucking Sleep. but hopefully I can hammer out a proper ref for riz and gorgug both in the#following week inbetween doing my job. its that time of da year lads (<- fully seasonal worker)

still thinking about how toh had the perfect villain with sympathetic origins and complex motives AND a compelling intimidating personality, but decided to ditch him last minute for a less complex, less interesting villain who was redeemed within one episode.
#i don't hate the collector okay#i think they could have been an interesting character#but there was a huge personality shift in his character and it was jarring#the creators did not have to insert the collector and push aside belos last moment#still mourning what belos' arc could have been#toh critical#toh criticism#anti toh#toh salt#toh discourse

Found this sequence so funny because it shows another attribute of Ron that he hasn’t totally shaken off. True, he can appreciate a capable colleague doing investigative work. But being bested by someone else and, on top of that, he realises how Toto respects Kawasemi so much? Never! So Ron squeezing his platypus so hard that made Toto worry is so endearing. Let him be the one and only detective that his friend knows. The best.

Shadow Puppets au - Charlatans
This is actually planned to be part of a larger sequence involving a third character who calls Belos out as not talking to the Titan, but we haven't gotten to this part in the RP yet so said character's dialogue isn't set in stone, but this exchange is
For anyone seeing this au for the first time
Philip and the Collector "Astrophel" are genuine friends in this au, and have been since Philip was eight years old
No one can see or hear Astrophel unless they have touched the Collector's tablet or the Stella-Luna Amulet that Belos wears around his neck
Astrophel is an active and equal part of Belos's scheme to deceive and destroy the isles, consulting with him and using his limited power to affect the outside world to cause natural disasters on command in order to make it look like Belos is communicating with the Titan
Philip is also actually cursed in this au, and I don't think I've mentioned this before, but his eyes glow when the curse is acting up

I've seen a lot of shows with lackluster finale, but never has the finale of a show actively ruined the rest of the series for me like Watching and Dreaming
#toh critical#toh salt#Luz's actions in the prior seasons meaning nothing#because the titan just gave her the glyphs#she didnt earn anything#belos being made to a villain whos just evil for the sake of being evil#all the goddamn retcons#hunter still becoming caleb anyway completely ignoring his character arc of NOT being caleb#the fucking collector being made into a uwu soft boy who doesnt know any better whe.#when we SAW in earlier episodes he fucking knew what death was and was EXCITED to see everyone die from the draining spell#just... the only episodes i could possibly re-watch are the season 1 finale#hollow mind and thanks for them#THE SHOW SAYING LMAO SIKE AND MAKING LUZ THE GODDAMN CHOSEN ONE ANYWAYY???#EVEN AFTER EPISODE FUCKING 2 MADE A POINT OF SAYING SHES NOT???#lmao i hate this show

Hollow Mind really did that thing where it like, presented itself as a "Luz and Hunter vs Philip" episode, but added in romantic subtext by paralleling Luz and Hunter with past lovers AND did a whole thing where Hunter and Luz find out they've been hurt by Philip's lies...
And they made sure it was only Luz and Hunter in Philip's mindscape ... a mindscape that features paintings where you can see Evelyn and Caleb... the two most important people from Philip's past...
... And they made Luz wear a jacket with a big ol "E" on it and they made Hunter wear Caleb's symbol on his cloak [which is the bird - symbol of Caleb's home town, Gravesfield.]... in an episode where Luz and Hunter are 2vs1ing Philip.
... Interesting, I'm sure that was just an oopsie teehee accident. [this is sarcasm btw]
#lunter#hmmm... [remembers Amelia Lorenz' is the director for HM and her storyboards had Hunter blushing at Luz in this episode]#I know what you are... and thank you for being what you are cuz I owe you my life.#Amity and Hunter really went on horrifying live changing mindscape adventures with Luz...#nbd just Luz going on terrifying mindscape adventures with her type of girl and her type of boy. nothing to see here.#also i still cant believe the audacity of showing the character's going through an archway with Caleb's symbol at the end of TTT#and having FTF open with the gang getting spat up at the gateway to Evelyn's home... and then not revealing either Evelyn or Caleb#that's crazy to me#instead we get Huntlow and The Collector 'redemption arc'' nonsense. hatred. murder. violence

Can you tell us more about the OC Martha, that you made for Ray Stantz?
Oh, yes! Very much so!
Now, she kinda popped into my head and she wasn't initially apart of my plans for the Cathleen Lives 'verse, but as I started putting together ideas and outlining the series, the
First, her full name is Martha Genevieve Ryan.
She is first introduced as the nurse at the school that Tiyah was substitute teaching at.
She was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, but she spent most of her childhood in San Francisco. She moved to New York for college, and lived there for ten years before she met Ray and the guys.
Her faceclaim is Donna Dixon (not just because she and Dan Aykroyd were married, but because I couldn't imagine anyone else as Martha)
No joke, this is how Ray sees her when they first meet.
She wanted to be a doctor, but her father-- whose approval she grew up needing-- convinced her to get a degree in nursing instead. She couldn't find any open nursing jobs in New York hospitals, so she took an open position as a school nurse.
But, in 1983, she made the decision to begin saving to attend medical school with plans on going into internal medicine.
Her medical expertise comes in handy for the Ghostbusters, and she is offered a position as an unofficial medic, occasionally helping with research as well.
She and Ray begin dating shortly after her hiring, and Ray falls head over heels for her.
However, he senses some hesitancy in her when it comes to their relationship.
She confesses to him that she was previously engaged during her college days, but her fiancee died in a car crash when she was taking him to meet her parents. She also confesses that, as she was the one driving the car that day, she feels personally responsible.
Ray is very understanding of her trepidation, and tries his best not to make her feel as if they're moving too quickly for her liking.
After Ray, Egon, Peter, and Winston are taken by the Collectors, Martha becomes an official Ghostbuster along with Janine, Dana, and Tiyah, under Cathleen's leadership.
During those three months, Martha begins being plagued with nightmares, and starts to hear this voice goading her.
She also takes on her new responsibility as a Ghostbuster with a soldier-like attitude. She becomes short with the others, and she shoots her proton stream when a ghost has a civilian hostage.
She is relieved when she is reunited with Ray, but she continues to have nightmares and hear that voice.
She is Ray's date to Winston and Tiyah's wedding in the spring of 1987, but she declines Tiyah's request for her to be a bridesmaid.
During the reception, she has a vision of blood raining down outside.
About a year later, the visions have persisted.
She soon learns that Tiamat has selected her as an emissary/warrior for her.
Under Tiamat's control, she poisons Dana and Egon-- Dana is forced to relive the experience of being possessed by Zuul, and Egon is trapped in a dream world in which Cathleen never lost their first baby.
Martha is able to free herself from Tiamat, but she can't stop her from erasing all but Winston's memories of his marriage to Tiyah.
During her recovery, Martha tells Ray that she has applied to a medical school in Paris, and that she accepted.
She tells him that she knows that everyone-- even him-- will never look at her the same after what she's done and after she kept the visions from him, and that she was wrong to try to rush into a relationship when she obviously hadn't fully grieved her fiancee's death.
They make the decision to break up, and she leaves for Paris as soon as she can.
Ray reveals to Cathleen that he had bought an engagement ring and was planning to propose to Martha, but throws the ring into the Hudson River out of anger.
His break-up with Martha is a cause of depression for Ray for a while, compounded by the fact that all of the lawsuits finally caught up with the Ghostbusters and the business was shut down soon afterward.
It also keeps him from wanting to date-- whether casually or to look for a long-term commitment-- despite his longing to get married and start a family.
Soon after the defeat of Vigo the Carpathian, Cathleen introduces him to Willow Olson.
Ray and Willow marry on Halloween 1990 after a whirlwind courtship.
Martha and Cathleen sporadically communicate, but they eventually fall out of touch.
The last concrete mention of Martha is when she sends a postcard congratulating Cathleen and Egon on the birth of their second daughter, Marie Rae.

Friend groupchat has been doing TOH finale analysis all afternoon and @thesixthstar made the comment "Luz is the Collector's Azura" and I am going to be rotating that one in my mind for. A long time. Forever maybe.
#the way the collector was used to really dig into/emphasize some of the most important parts of both luz and king's arcs#simultaneously but also uniquely#and didn't as specifically dig into eda's but still did a little because it emphasized her connection to the latter two so well#like the fact that they all walked through their relationship as a story and can share that story with someone else now#very very interesting use of a pretty out-there character concept; i was not sold on them at the end of s2 but like i get it now#(they also made for such an interesting contrast to belos -- someone who caused harm on accident instead of on purpose)#(and thus helped with fleshing out that theme of like. what really is morality/accountability for causing harm)#(which MAN i have a lot of feelings about the episode digging into that with luz given my own brain lately)#the finale was just. such an episode#anyways this post is mostly me doing the will smith hands at sharon's point because she is SO right#toh spoilers#f: us weirdos have to stick together

Collector's existence confuses me
To add such an important character this late to the show would've been understandable if he wasn't a last addition after the shortening, wouldn't the cancelation mean that there needs to be more focus on belos instead of reducing his screentime? this show's lore was already underdeveloped thanks to disney but now we're also speedrunning a new one
I hope the last episode proves me wrong and actually shows why he matters so much because I really can't see how his presence is so necessary to the point that he overshadows the main villain

Episode 5, The Case of the Hand Collector Killer
For the joint investigation of serial murder cases, eagle-eye Kawasemi Omito comes to the Tokyo First Investigative Division. Amamiya, who is Kawasemi’s rival and earlier colleague, dares to lend the “useless” Toto, but Kawasemi already treats him as if he doesn’t exist after pointing out that Toto “has zero talent.” Ron, who appeared as a consultant at the scene upon the discovery of a new body, proves to Kawasemi that he’s wrong about Toto.
Can’t wait for the others to meet him, Eagle Eye Kawasemi.
So Toto, why the face?
