It begins. You “become”. Till all are one. Incomprehensible, existing in the comic coda.

Leo learns something about himself 🏳️‍⚧️

Based roughly on this old post.

Bonus:

[Leo is taking the fact that he was born biologically female simultaneously very well and also not so well but overall he’s mostly coping with the fact that it was Draxum that just essentially gave him the turtle equivalent of ‘The Talk’.]

going insane thinking about the harrow and palamedes friendship. harrow, who has never met another necromancer her age forming a bizarro 3D chess rivalry while pal worries about her safety at every possible turn. harrow, who is up to her eyebrows in paranoia and secrecy, trusting the sixth house with gideon unconscious and hurt, letting them into the ninth house quarters unsupervised. if “i cannot conceive of a universe without you in it” is goth for i love you, “death first to vultures and scavengers” has got to be goth for i love you (platonic). pal’s first reaction when harrow comes into his bubble in the river is to scoop her up in a hug, and at this point she doesn’t remember anything about him because cutting out all her memories of gideon is impossible without cutting out memories of the sixth, but she still makes him a skelehand to inhabit anyway. when harrow’s memories are finally whole, she tells dulcinea she couldn’t face pal knowing that his pen pal girlfriend died on her account, but the next time she “faces” him, palamades’s soul is in someone else’s body and harrow’s body is full of nona’s soul. he spends six months protecting and caring for harrow’s body (and nona obv), believing in the possibility of bringing her back to it the same way cam believed in him. “god, do you know i miss harrow terribly.” and by the time harrow comes back to her body at the very end of ntn, pal is gone forever, fully pauled. the last time harrow and palamades see each other as their complete selves is in canaan house, alive and unlyctored. two of the smartest and loneliest people in the solar system meet each other in the worst of circumstances and spend the rest of the story dancing around each other as fragments of themselves, trying to care about each other in the interim but never fully meeting like they did the first time. a friendship made almost entirely of missing the other person. “do you know i miss harrow terribly.” god. i need to lie down

okay but something about a major theme of 9-1-1 being that people can really thrive and be their best selves when they’re given the right environment

and lou indisputably doing the best acting we’ve ever seen from him in s7 of this show. giving layered, nuanced performances

lou saying that he’s usually typecast as a “beefcake” and isn’t given the opportunity to play deep characters

but also lou saying now that he’s playing tommy, people are seeing him for who he really is

because lou is hot, yes, very intentionally so—but he’s also sweet and sensitive and silly. and him getting to play any of that is such a rarity in his career so far. and tommy is all of that

something about tim seeing him in s2 and bringing him back because he remembered how charming he was. tim seeing potential in him to flourish and give this storyline the weight it needs

9-1-1 being a force for positive change not only within the show itself but also for its actors

iirc the showrunners said on twt that they almost immediately regretted taking away peri's lashes/not giving him eyeliner, and if they *do* get renewed one of the first things they want to do is slightly redesign peri to rectify the issue 😭

I remember that tweet as well (pretty sure it was by Lindsay Katai?) — pretty sure the reason given was that there was a concern the eyelashes would clash with the eyebrows (and I do love the eyebrows, for the record — I’ve got thick eyebrows and I therefore have a bit of a bias towards characters that also have eyebrows like me lol). Still, after seeing Irep’s eyeliner, I was a little thrown off — they made it work for him, so I’m a little sad that they didn’t add it to Peri as well. I’m guessing they already had animators working on Peri’s scenes by the time Irep’s design was finalized, though

I’m definitely crossing my fingers that we get a season two and that Peri at the very least gets the eyeliner that Irep has

This comic isn’t actually canon to the AU at all. It was just for the joke. Please don’t bug me about it in asks. Please I’m begging you. It never happened.

I am fully prepared to excuse any and all actions taken by the ratgrinders because they are a group of teens whose worst traits are being preyed upon and who are treated as expendable puppets by a much older man. And also because this is all one guy sitting at a table making different voices at his friends so it’s not all THAT serious is it.

the headcanon that tommy has some strands of white hair from the revival is v good, but i love it especially when it’s paired with the “post-prison dream with white hair because of the constant death and revival experiments.” because can you imagine being tommy, looking in the mirror every day and seeing the strands of permanently white hair from an experience just as permanently scarring, and then asking the man who gave you those scars to let you see his face. he does. and his once golden hair is now completely, horrifyingly white.

Thinking very hard about an AU idea of mine. Reluctant king Sabo AU!

In which Sabo isn’t saved by Dragon, but survives long enough to drift ashore and be saved by the doctors of Goa Kingdom, who do so only to ransom his medical bills from Sabo’s parents. Sabo’s parents take him back, thinking that his amnesia makes him a clean slate, but Sabo, young and stubborn and unsure of his entire identity, knows that everything is wrong and runs again, and again, and again.

Until at some point, he meets the Revolutionaries, and realizes that he can be useful to them, provide them information, make something good of an inescapable situation. From then on, he starts acting the noble that he was born as, in order to be a more useful informant to the Revolutionaries, until sunk cost fallacy hits and he believes that being a noble is the only way that he can be useful to the Revolutionaries. So at that point, why not take it all the way?

At 17, Sabo becomes one of Princess Sarie’s suitors, and at 17, he has doubts about using the princess for his own goals. Sarie is a romantic, and she wants a dramatic fairy tale of a romance, and she was already charmed, but the moment Sabo opens up to her about not wanting to use her to get to the throne, having lofty ambitions of helping the people (just not the people she thinks he’s talking about), Sabo becomes the one she simply must marry, because surely if she tries hard enough, she can make him love her back.

Soon after, the king and his son die. Sarie’s father and brother die. And while Sabo conveniently ascends to the throne, he also swiftly implicates his father, Outlook, in the assassination of all heirs to the throne, resulting in Outlook’s arrest and subsequent execution. And thus, at 18, Sabo becomes king, and begins to gradually institute great changes to Goa Kingdom.

Design-wise, Sabo wears an eyepatch because his damaged eye is considered a grotesque sight by nobles’ standards. Under the eyepatch, he wears heavy makeup to hide the burn scar. These are both at the behest of his birth parents, who spin a story about Sabo having been born half blind to hide the fact that Sabo had been shot by a Celestial Dragon and save face. To those who have seen his scar, they fabricate a second secret story that he was unfortunately kidnapped as a child. Sabo never does find out, until he regains his memories, where the burn scar is actually from.
