Carmy trying to reach out to Syd, even knowing she's mad af at him, before reading the letter from his deceased brother, that will hurt him anyway. It's completely normal, of course, as you say.

Only Shirley stood his ground, gazing fearlessly at her out of his round brown eyes from the safe anchorage of Susan's lap and arm. Aunt Mary Maria thought the Ingleside children had very bad manners. But what could you expect when they had a mother who "wrote for the papers" and a father who thought they were perfection just because they were his children…

thinking back on Vitalasy, and how he seemed to be creating a character that is faced with unlimited power, caves to that power, but ultimately decides to not to become fully evil.

And how when you simplify that, it makes sense? But that wasn't the experience of watching s4.

Just, like. I just saw that fanart of Vi tormenting Planet in the prison. And it got me thinking.

It's like he was planning on showing the descent and then dramatically revealing that it was all part of the character development.

And that works when it's scripted? Like how Parrot descended closer and closer to Clown's mentality in that one uu video and as he did more and more evil it was like, woah he doesn't realize how much he's like clown! i wonder what he will do when he does realize!

But in an unscripted story your actions are taken at face value as being the only actions the matter for today because today is all that matters because the future is entirely unknown.

And so the buck stops at today.

And that stream was just so evil. (and awesome i fucking love that stream) But he exited it not realizing at that moment how evil it was, it was all still a question, a hypothetical, i have unlimited power, what do I do with it? Because it wasn't time to let it go. It wasn't time yet to reveal good intentions.

And it just made him look so much more evil. And every time he used the exploit he looked more and more deranged and disconnected from reality. How could you say you're good when you're actively doing something illegal?

And faced with so much backlash from the players, how could it not hurt when the vision isn't being seen? And so the pivot point moved forward and forward and forward and suddenly he was giving up the power as a desperate plea to be received back in with good graces bc it was never meant to be ultimate evil.

i dunno. it's just so perpetually interesting.

The players on lifesteal resist "scripting" so much. Everything that resembles it is resoundingly attacked and destroyed. And it's not even a matter of the perpetuating member not "understanding" how lifesteal works bc having a plan is the basis of a youtube video and it's a content server.

But like, Mapicc and Zam betraying spoke during dupe war, Mapicc betraying Ro during the end portal trap, Mapicc resisting Vi and calling out the dissonance with his character, Mapicc (i'm starting to realize maybe it's just Mapicc's presence that causes this effect lol) carting everyone.

But also like Bacon resisting Vitalasy, Bacon Ro and Mapicc resisting pb&j in the meeting.

But on any other mcrp server, like in qsmp even, someone's dramatic character is accepted as just that - a character for the moment, doing lore as you do. They're handled and rp'ed with and it's never destroyed utterly.

But there's this intensity with Lifesteal that breaks the barrier of rp into like, you have to be yourself and make sense and be logical with your reasons, while also being like, I have silly reasons that are illogical because my character is flawed and isn't that fun. But "isn't that fun" is met with "I will destroy you because destruction is the fun of this server"

⭐ utopia, but any other fic will do if you already got a lot of asks about it!

This is so sweet I'm dying. I'm deceased. Killed. Rambling it is.

“I get why Sasuke-teme had to leave Konoha, Tobi-sensei. He has to keep walking forward with his precious people, and all the bad people in Konoha just bring out the teme in him. Even if I don’t like it…” Naruto’s expression fell, but resolution rose strongly in him too. “But there’s people in Konoha I just can’t abandon. That means I can’t abandon Konoha, and I can’t give up on it. Somebody has to stay and make it better. I won’t run away. I’ll give Konoha a second chance, and me and my friends are going to make it into a place as great as Sakuragakure. I’ll make Konoha into a place that Sasuke-teme can come home to.” Naruto nodded firmly, implacable. “Kakashi-sensei feels the same way. Konoha’s our home. You and Sasuke-teme really hate Konoha, but Kakashi-sensei and I are going to make it into a home you can like again! So you guys can come visit us! Okay?”

Naruto doesn't have a huge role in this story. Of course, he's also the most important character. Everything in the story turned on his fulcrum - on the actions that he hadn't taken yet, born from the resolve of a man who was still a boy. He saved the day, not through his own actions, but through the ripple effect that his actions had on the world and the people within it. He also has no idea. He also can't read.

Naruto Uzumaki is not particularly interested in a utopia. He's not interested in much beyond ramen and becoming the Hokage and Sasuke. He's not interested in the weight of someone's sins and their potential for redemption, despite being ninja Jesus. I think Naruto only cares about if you want to be a good dude - and if you don't want to be a good dude today, if you'll want to be a good dude tomorrow.

Both Naruto and Sasuke were hurt badly by Konoha. It was important that Sasuke leave Konoha - that he be able to leave the world that hurt him, and find a happier new home. But it was important that Naruto stay too - that there was somebody who was willing to take his crap world by the horns and fix what already exists, to make his world a better place. I think both types of people are necessary, and that the ability to make the choice is necessary too. You can't create a better world by playing by the rules of a broken system, but you can't create a better world by giving up on it either.

I think while reading Naruto you have to kinda go, 'damn bitch stop trying to over perform just to earn the right to exist, their acceptance will always be conditional'. You can't Hokage people into loving you. But you can't create a better world by sticking a bunch of orphans in a tree, either. To me, Naruto is the necessary person who wants to fix what he has.

Obito does not understand that. He's convinced that he understands the gospel of Naruto very well. He does not. At all. He willfully misinterprets it, because it doesn't reinforce what Obito needs to believe. It doesn't let him feel what he wants to feel.

If he did understand it, he would realize something extremely obvious: that Naruto had been able to save Obito because of Naruto's own suffering, not despite it. Obito hypothesizes that suffering creates bad people, but Naruto utilized his own suffering as a tool for empathy and compassion. By Obito's own reasoning, Naruto is a 'dirty person' who wouldn't belong in the own utopia that he inspired. He's trying to build a heaven that Ninja Jesus wouldn't be welcome in. It's a massive logical flaw that Obito knows exists and blatantly ignores.

Why does Obito ignore this? Because it undermines his whole nihlistic, absolutist, deterimistic worldview, mostly. But also because that would imply that people with narrative parallels to Naruto might, hypothetically, deserve to be saved, and would have a place in Utopia. And, like, ya know, can't have that.

Continuing to be back on my bullshit, I'm rounding out the year with the next installment of my Blue Beetle au nonsense or.

AKA @wazzappp 's Blue Beetle headcanons give me life and I'm yoinking them because. Everyone deserves a little body horror. As a treat.

(Well. Except for Oo'Li, by virtue of being the type of alien (yk more or less) that the scarabs are using for that sweet sweet basic DNA template)

Anyway, following my timeline of Jaime ending up with his second 'upgrade' after the reboot re: Khaji Da's last ditch effort to keep him from smashing into the ground of terminal velocity, Xiomara and Roma end up more buggified after their altercation with the Crimson Scarab in issue...2? I think, when their powers get drained, in the same vein of their scarabs getting inventive with ways for their hosts to defend themselves in power drain scenarios.

In keeping with their power-sets/specialities, Roma ends up with a scorpion-esque tail (yes ik that's not an insect but if she can manifest tentacles Im saying it counts) and retractable claws, while Xiomara has fully armored hands/gauntlets and extra insectoid legs
