#I wish I couldve protected her

[landline-kei]

if I could change one thing about my childhood. it wouldn't be to get rid of the trauma, or the burns, or the bullying, or the neglect. it wouldn't be to get help, or get out of this horrid situation, or prevent some of the bad things, or anything of the sort

i think if I could pick, I'd see Riley one more time before Covid hit, and we'd talk for hours, and I'd add more stickers to her power chair like I promised, and I'd get to actually say hello to her again

she was my best friend in occupational therapy, and my best friend while growing up in general. I miss seeing her, I wish that Covid hadn't made the world too dangerous for her. I hope she's back in physical therapy, playing Uno on a team with Ms. Mara.

I miss you Riley :( Hope you and your mama are doing okay. I know there's probably no way she'd see this but I wanna say it.

funniest thing that ever happened when we were playing botw was my sister was playing and she had made it up to the top of the tower in hyrule field (the one surrounded by guardians) and was looking down at the guardians through a slot in the like railing and i was like "you should shoot the guardian" because i thought they were out of range and so she shot the guardian in the eye with an arrow and it came alive and immediately hit link with a laser and link instantly died ragdolled and fell through the slot and miphas grace activated and my sister immediately teleported away while mipha was still doing her thing. and i was just laughing so hard.

Why is MC of LnD so overlooked?

I've seen so many people calling mc a redflag, hating her even sl*tshames her for things that... wasn't even her fault?

It's not her fault that she is destined to be entwined with three men in her lives? All she did was being kind and then fall for each one of them, MC, too, have never had a choice to begin with, in every universe she always have this heart problem, in every universe somehow the men always knew things more than she does. About her forgetting the men, it's not her fault? She literally never wished to forget any of them. She is an innocent kind soul that was dragged to the mud in every universe she gets to live in.

I'm completely BAFFLED when I saw people starting to call MC a redflag because, are we playing the same game? 😭

How could someone who, despite her mortality in the middle of immortal people, wished for her immortal crush to get what he wanted upon the starfall that only happened once a century, when she couldve wished something for herself instead: is a redflag?

How could someone who is a redflag, accompany and love the cruel and cold foreseer, never leaving his side even as he is dying by his mistake of betraying his God, embracing him, crying for him when he couldn't even do that for himself? How a could a redflag be the warming sun of Zayne's life, that is filled by coldness?

How could someone who is a redflag, willingly gave out her heart to her "slave" so he could save his people when, all her life, she has been thinking the only thing she's lived for was for the kingdom that trapped her inside a suffocating castle? How could this someone who is called a redflag, at the end, willingly abandon the kingdom she wanted to protect just to be with her beloved?

Her sacrifices, loyalty, and suffering is so overlooked that it drives me mad. Just because she is unaware of things doesn't mean she never suffered, just because she is destined to fall in love with different men in different universes doesn't mean she's disloyal, it's clear that in each timeline MC wasn't aware of other men's existence beside her beloved, had she been aware, she would not fall in love with three men like that, but unfortunately, the storyline make her did. And all of you blaming her for this thing is messed up.

it feels like a version of yourself is haunting you and there's nothing you can do about it

its a little maddening to me how few people I've seen relate to the very specific case of memory loss Harry has

like, there's a lot to relate to with this guy, I know, and the whole "I forced myself to forget fundamental things from my past because it made me too sad and now I'm not sure why I'm so messed up but the memories hurt too much" thing is a hell of a specific thing to relate to, but I feel like its. a thing right? like this happens to people yeah? or am I going insane all by myself

like. having people in your life be mad at your for things you don't remember, not knowing why certain things should be significant to you, hearing someone recall a memory with such importance and they look to you because you were there, you shared this experience with them, but there just a blank hole in your head where that should be

not knowing WHEN things happened. having to piece together bits of the past with string because well it'd make sense if this happened after that, right? but having nothing but the logical conclusion to go off of. you remember something and it sucks and it feels so immediate, mustve been a year ago at the most, but then someone is able to corroborate and it happened like 6 years ago and you're more lost than ever, because what the hell happened in those 6 years?

having to ask, ask, ask who you are to people. what they see when they look at you. who you used to be. writing notes. writing so many notes. going through your day normally and you pick up an old piece of paper you don't remember being there and it's so full of foreign emotion. who wrote this? what caused them to feel this way? something unthinkable. horrifying. usurvivable. and you'll never know because no one can tell you

yesterday i wrote a scene where jade wasnt a plot device and was left the hell alone in A6A5 because this being dave and jade’s last proper conversation in years made me sad and i wanted to see them reunite properly. i mixed a bit of narration in too even though it was rare around this point in the comic but its just to paint a better picture. also i wouldnt mind feedback on character voice (it’s important to me that the dialogue sounds believable)

[3 years are over, everyone is in the new session. The prospit ship is on LOMAX, as is everyone who arrived on the meteor, safely warped by Jade onto LOMAX as well. Jade has banished B2 Jack to the Furthest Ring already. She hasn't seen her friends in 3 years, not to mention she never met the trolls in person yet.]

[Jade teleports to LOMAX where John was talking with the meteor crew. Her eyes widen when she sees the trolls, giving everyone a greeting. Jade waves to the trolls.]

You’ll have time to catch up with them later. First you want to reconvene with Rose and Dave.

> ==>

Dave... Oh my god! DAVE!!! That’s right! The last time you saw him, he died in your arms after Jack redirected the bullets from your gun into his body!

JADE: dave!!!! DAVE: hey DAVE: this has been three years coming hasnt it DAVE: cmere

> ==>

[Dave hugs Jade with a slight grin on face. He notices her… sniffing him?? but doesn’t even bother to question it.]

JADE: it is so nice to hold your body when its not a corpse :) DAVE: ok DAVE: weird thing to say DAVE: actually who am i kidding who gives a shit DAVE: i almost forgot how much i missed the enigmatic riddlefuckery that is your phrasing DAVE: fortunately i have context for this so i know what youre saying DAVE: humor me for a sec and imagine that i didnt DAVE: but first DAVE: are those dog ears JADE: yes! i am part dog now JADE: because i prototyped my dreamself with becsprite JADE: jadesprite became part of me! and so did her doggy traits from bec DAVE: got it DAVE: oh yeah john mentioned that on the back of his dumb poster inside that bucket that appeared out of thin air DAVE: right before we had to haul ass out of there before jack caught up to us DAVE: karkat had a complete fucking meltdown over that btw i wish you couldve seen it DAVE: damn it feels like so long ago now JADE: heheheh i remember JADE: john realized it at the last second but it was too late! DAVE: of course it was johns idea only he could do something that gooberish DAVE: you know what this means though JADE: yup!! woof woof DAVE: it means youve done it harley DAVE: youve finally done it god damn it DAVE: the evolution of humankind is finally upon us DAVE: the scientists said it would never happen in our lifetime DAVE: but look what we have here DAVE: before me stands mans first legitimate furry subspecies DAVE: homo canis DAVE: as the name implies theyre gay as fuck btw DAVE: its too bad all those scientists are dead and cant witness this phylogenetic breakthrough DAVE: rip to the science community yall wouldve lost your collective shit DAVE: hey jade lets pour one out for the science community for being real ones

> ==>

You are still nestled into Dave’s shoulder. He’s taken a sort of protective position over you. Your perceptive barkbeast ears can hear his formerly bullet-riddled heart beating a mile a minute with the regularity of quartz beneath his time-branded pajamas, all the while he continues to ramble to you about certifiably dumb shit. You can tell Dave is psyched to see you again, even if he expresses it in his OWN bizarre way, which means extended metaphors and topical tangents. What a hypocrite, calling YOUR phrasing perplexing! You sure missed this guy.

You realize you started tuning him out while thinking about all this.

DAVE: jade JADE: umm homo is the species name JADE: so wouldnt that mean were all gay? :p DAVE: yeah that sounds about right DAVE: anyway enough of this bullshit

> ==>

[Dave motions to retract his arms since he doesn’t want it to get too weird, but Jade squeezes tighter. Dave immediately yields to the movement]

DAVE: jesus wow ok DAVE: really happy to see you too DAVE: like if you had a tail it would be wagging so forcefully youd be knocking over all the fucking furnishings in the room DAVE: just slapping it so hard on the owners thigh that it feels like theyre being flogged DAVE: talk about getting bitch slapped JADE: :D DAVE: so howve you been JADE: really really excited to see you guys all again!!! JADE: and to meet the trolls! DAVE: yeah theyre pretty weird DAVE: and im still not used to it DAVE: but it gets more manageable the longer youre around them DAVE: by the way JADE: ?

> ==>

DAVE: sorry you had to go through that JADE: through what? DAVE: seeing me die and stuff again DAVE: except that time right in front of you JADE: .... DAVE: when we were gathering up all those frogs i knew jack was going to appear DAVE: i was waiting and waiting to play it out DAVE: mentally rehearsing my fucking torso getting turned into swiss cheese and knowing you would have to watch on top of it DAVE: i had to make sure it happened to protect the integrity of the alpha timeline DAVE: but if you knew this was going to happen you wouldve tried to prevent it and created a doomed one DAVE: and so i didnt say anything DAVE: i couldnt DAVE: so DAVE: sorry for putting you through that JADE: oh..... JADE: dave D: JADE: well im here JADE: if you ever want to talk about it DAVE: its cool DAVE: you just deserve to know what happened there DAVE: but thanks DAVE: so am i JADE: yeah i know JADE: i guess i should be glad you did that then...

Kaname's mom and Subaru's dad (Kaname's idol fanatic mom jumping on stage and then falling to her death at Subaru's dad's concert, top solo idol at the peak of the industry, leading to uncovering of past misdeeds, his arrest, deteriorating health and death. Kaname isnt told what happened but knows he needs to be an idol because it's the thing his mom loved best, and Subaru spends his whole life under the threat of his dad's legacy, thinking he will meet the same fate as his dad. And yet he still chooses to pursue being an idol to make people smile, starting from his mom. In a funny twist of fate, decades later Kaname is attacked by the non special student body of Reimei when they're shown a video of his mom's sins being a catalyst of That Akehoshi's decline. But when a video accusing Subaru of being his dad's son is projected at the biggest idol event of the year, he is protected by the friends he's made, escaping the same fate.)

Madara's parents and Kanata's mom (Madara's parents with their numerous connections helping Kanata's mom fake her death to set her free, to escape the cult worshipping her. Madara spending his entire youth trying to destroy the cult and give Kanata back his humanity, feeling like he's failed because he couldn't do it on his own when it was never a task that could be done alone in the first place)

Izumi's parents (They're controlling Izumi throughout his childhood to follow their wishes and expectations of him, but Izumi chooses one thing for himself that they don't agree with - Makoto. Eventually he grows up to follow in his parents' footsteps by trying to control Makoto himself to protect him from potentially getting hurt)

Jun's dad and Nagisa's "dad" (Jun's dad raising him to be a solo super idol that can defeat Jin, but Jun only flourishes when he joins a unit with Hiyori and stops seeing being an idol as a duty. Similarly Nagisa being raised to be the next supreme idol, finding warmth and a family in his unit instead of being alone at the top)

Wataru and his adoptive parents (who didn't pay much attention to him, leading to Wataru constantly learning new tricks to outdo himself until eventually he couldn't be understood by those around him anymore...)

Arashi's parents (individualistic and uncaring, leading to her developing the big sis persona to not let others feel unsupported as she was growing up)

Tsumugi and his mom (who has failed, got scammed by religious organizations and brought trouble to the point of divorce, and despite it all, Tsumugi can't give up on her, his mom who was for a long time the only stable connection in his life. Tsumugi who learns the signs of a scam and to avoid them. Tsumugi who is in charge of the SNS at school where the students start railing against Kanata's religion and recognize him as a fake god. Tsumugi who develops a big bro helpful persona to make himself useful. Tsumugi who considers becoming a teacher because of it, who gets confronted by Natsume "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, or have you forgotten that's the same vocation your mom failed at?" Tsumugi who is very much aware and had decided to make a separate path for himself, one continuing as an idol in Switch, even before Natsume's words.)

Man. Enstars characters and the relation to their parents, the expectations, subversions, accidental following in their footsteps etc. I couldve worded this entire post so much better and added more characters, but you get the gist. This is all just my understanding, if you think anything is off please let me know. And I did not mention every character so if you think I missed something important also share.

[chronic-escapixt]

Favorite non cannon Bonnie ships ranked:

this is just my opinion so don't come for me, but I based this ranking on character interactions, certain plot elements, and overall potential

bonnie x me - because I will treat her right, she's a baddie (not even atrocious styling could deny that face card!!), and we're already married in my head so..

jk.. but actually:

klonnie - this one grew on me when I heard joseph himself shipped them. it just makes sense that he'd be drawn to bonnie considering she's not just any other person to him. her bloodline has direct ties to his family and she's gone head-to-head against him multiple times. klaus is calculated asf from the moment we meet him so he'd probably go into their relationship trying to play with her head and keep her close as a potential tool for his own agenda (in a keep ur enemies close kinda-way), but he ends up falling for her along the way. bonnie's level-headed and mature nature would balance out klaus's more irrational chaos - maybe in a similar way klaus works with cami in the originals (my fav cannon klaus ship).

2. stefonnie - this one isn't talked about enough. remember in s1 when elena set up that dinner between her, stefan, and bonnie. elena was so set on bonnie liking stefan when they first got together. the early seasons really seemed invested in laying the foundation of stefan x bonnie with how protective he is of her. it seemed like their relationship should have only grown from there & there's no reason why it was just abandoned. plus, there's so many parallels between their plotlines: in s5 they both spend the summer indisposed (stefan drowning the whole time and bonnie being dead) and no one noticing. they couldve meaningfully bonded over that shared trauma. the otherside literally exists because bonnie's ancestor was cheated on by stefan's (original face, doppleganger?) whatever silas is - with her handmaid Amara.. so many stefonnie parrallels go ignored by the writers!

3. bonkai - one of my favorites. i wish we got more of a romantic or seggual payoff from these two bc the built up was certainly there for a darker romance kinda vibe. similar to the other villainxprotagonist couples in this show but no epic romantic payoff for bonnie i guess.. the actors' chemistry with each other in these scenes carries the ship for me & in the hands of writers that gaf about these characters it couldve been epic.

4. bamon - i know this one comes from the book & it's a fan favorite, but this actually feels more out of left field than stefonnie for me. that's not to say i don't like it. the second half of the show was for bamon and the writer's knew it. that's why they had to keep reinforcing that they're 'just friends' or else their chemistry would have turned tvd into the bamon show..

5. bonnie x katherine - i love the idea of a bi bonnie (clearly). lots of fans pair her with nora but i hate everything about the heretic storyline and the characters so i prefer katherine. they didn't interact much, but hear me out, katherine has always found herself paired with a bennett witch (emily in the 1800s, bonnie's cousin) and i think they'd be cute. i love katherine the most when she's not obsessing over the salvatore brothers or jealous of elena so i think pairing her with bonnie would offer a refreshing perspective of her character.

[nonbinarylesbianherb]

Okay so obviously a lot happened and I’m just going to talk about Alicent Hightower-

Now, many people are saying they’ve poorly written her character to contradict herself over and over.

I mean Alicent had it pushed into her by Otto that if Rhaenyra were to become queen, her children would die. And she pushes this same sentiment to her own children, to Aegon.

Alicent cares very deeply for her children, and she has protected them and lashed out in their defense. -(aemond when he lost his eye. Aegon when Meleys and Rhaenys were a threat.)

But she’s also seemed to be very willingly to let both her sons die and that has upset a lot of people.

Now I do understand the outrage, because it does seem out of character for her to so easily agree to this. I think she has known for quite a while now that their deaths if Rhaenyra won, would be inevitable.

I think for a while now she has already mourned her sons. When she saw them grow into beasts, when she knew they were too gone to listen to her anymore (especially aemond.)

I do though wish there had been more she had done to try convince Rhaenyra to let Aegon live. I think Aemond is a lost cause and she knows that.

I think how it could’ve played out is her accepting the death of Aemond (“a son for a son” and that was the son that took Rhaenyra’s son.) Her little boy became a beast and she understands he won’t listen to reason anymore and will fight his way to his death.

But Helaena, Aegon and her grandchild, i think she couldve fought and asked for all of them to leave with her and they’ll never be seen again. That aegon will never try to claim the throne and that they’ll go to a far away place.

But yea idk I feel her accepting the inevitable death of one of her sons (aemond) could make sense as she leaves with her two other children and her grandchild.

I think I’m simply torn about how they’ve written the ending for her right now.

[glubandeepspace]

my current understanding of raf lore in regards to mc's part in it is basically ↓

they met as kids once when he ran away from home to explore (Nightly Stroll), but then he went back home n mc got taken in by those culty people

(Forgotten Sea) they reunite as fellows in more fucked roles. raf initially chose her as follower for convenience (probably didnt instant recognize) but then as they realize more abt each other they become friends in an arranged marriage adjacent situation that ends up actually wrong to the sea somehow. but i mean the tome is weird abt what it says abt how he should treat a follower and he himself also claims "tis a human fantasy" for lemurians to fall for who theyre bound to. yet he fell n all.

more theory territory bc again the end of forgotten sea is vague—during the ceremony, his awakening doesnt work bc the sea could tell he isnt more devoted to it than he is to mc, and the sea demands him to choose between her n lemuria (not that the sea would destroy its own people, but the flame lemuria needs was already dying, and rafayel's proper awakening couldve saved it but now it needs a sacrifice). it's such a last minute twist / confirmation of fears and mc makes him sacrifice her (or he kills her bc the sea compells him). this brings forth the new flame.

but rafayel dies a lot later as Forgotten Sea says, because... the incident with sea witch mc (Fragrant Dream) and the implied mc of Siren's Song (idk what order these would be). but the thing abt sea witch is—she may have been cursed as punishment by the sea, and raf didnt agree with this, turned her back human at the cost of a lot of effort n his life. he basically died for mc 1-2 times total for all the above, no matter what order. but he probably knew he'd die for sea witch (i doubt the sea offed him). so hes not above dying for mc except

"a rumor" "the god of the sea had lied to the deep sea for his beloved" (Forgotten Sea) im believing this rumor and that the lie was sometjing like.. that he'd take back the heart he gifted mc (which already irked the sea, hence flickering flame during Forgotten Sea kiss that happened right after the gifting) (it sounded like a metaphorical gifting at first but ig not) (maybe halfway. somethingsometjing magic). bc he doesnt want to kill her, especially after he already tried killing her once, and he doesnt trust everything the sea expects. he resents the prophecies or whatever. he thinks he can save lemuria in his own way

lemuria that btw fell to ruin specifically bc of his absence from it when Siren Song mc took his tail & scales (thats why he sung the elegy as he perished alongside her)

plus, you know, other humans

he gets reborn (who knows how again) into what we can call linkon raf, whos focused still on avenging his people and likely finding a way to revive lemuria while protecting its remains—a way that doesnt depend on what's now mc's heart, but she is a backup choice he may consider (though the sea wishes she were the first choice) (but like very to the very back of his brain, the last choice even, esp since he actively protects her actually) (where the fence between his thoughts and the sea's are)

probably something to do with the aether core ironically part of her heart will be what helps lemuria

somewhere in all this was also an mc who lived on an island alone ? (forgot where from!) and also an mc who might fr get her heart carved by some teen lemurian that's either a new raf somehow or someone connected (mentioned in an mc dream i also forgot which myth from, but probably forgotten sea? dream abt abysswalker-like era though) and i need to reread abysswalker before going on even longer for its mentions of tome stuff etc

[hanasnx]

So did you see his dick in factory girl? There’s a few frames it’s in. I don’t know how he is not hard from that super sexual scene, but you can tell he’s not erect, but it’s still a very nice size. I wonder if he’s a grower or a shower. What do you think?

There were rumors that he really fucked Siena Miller in that scene, but they both deny it and he doesn’t appear to be hard. I wonder if that’s just because there were likely 20 other people in the room.

Makes you wonder what he’s like for real, if he’s that good at pretending.

What if he’s A sexual? No interest in sex beyond making children. It’s one of his chores on his to do list. Sex is for reproductive purposes only.

My god. I just wrote a fucking horror story, in one paragraph.

i did see his dick in factory girl <33 i have a screen recording of it on my phone where i go frame by frame to really maximize everything i can see. it would make sense that he's not hard because intimate scenes aren't usually sexy to film. alot of actors have talked about how awkward and often cold it is. i think he and siena did a really good job selling the chemistry in that scene, i loved how they touched each other.

personally i've always thought of him as a grower, and in that scene it looks like i'm right. i love his patch of pubes with his flaccid dick hanging out :) my friend donnie often talks about how european actors do a lot of full frontal, way more likely than in america, and he wishes hayden was european just for that likelihood of full frontal and i felt it so hard. part of the indy ten commandments tbh.

i have seen the rumors about how he and sienna actually did have sex for that scene, and i've seen hayden's response being along the lines of "you'd have to ask sienna" which really suspiciously sounds like they did and he said that to protect her privacy on the matter without flat-out denying it. scenes and parts of scenes aren't shot linearly all the time, so they very well couldve had real sex for some points and fake for others/re-shoots. i think real sex for films used to be more common. and i also think intimate scenes are often filmed with only a couple people rather than 20 but i suppose that would depend on the project.

"Makes you wonder what he’s like for real, if he’s that good at pretending." trust me, bcos of that sex scene, i sure have wondered. the way he touches girls during intimate scenes drives me crazy because its like... who taught you that. how are you so good at that.

"What if he’s A sexual? No interest in sex beyond making children. It’s one of his chores on his to do list. Sex is for reproductive purposes only." this is an interesting take! because of my limited knowledge on asexuality, i wont speak on it out of fear for spreading misinformation. but i can say i do have an interest in exploring "it's one of his chores on his to do list" like thats piquing my fascination. do you have anything else to add to this? im intrigued

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

thank you so much, I shall answer these prompts NEOW

21: Fics you wish you could find more of?

Oooohhh more fics involving Gwen, that's for sure. When she's written right she's one of the strongest, most relatable characters imo, 'cause all she wants is for the world to be right and just and kind and everything wants to prove her wrong, but she won't back down from her views. I would also adore more Elyan, just in general. And complete rewrites of the show 'cause the one I'm reading right now is so good I might do one as well. Also modern au's where they're all like secret badass spies or smth, 'cause those are so fucking cool (i am accepting fic recs for ALL of this, please feed me y'all)

24: Everyone knows that fandom doesn’t like uther but what are your feelings about gaius?

I think 1) we need more concrete info about how he was when he was younger, but 2) i think he is severely complicated and wanted what was best of merlin and morgana, but failed the two while also giving them a ton of love. With morgana, he just didnt want her to pursue her power lest she become uther's next victim, cuz gaius cares for the pendragon siblings like his own. With merlin, he was just trying his best with his overpowered nephew, who alos has a destiny regarding his people's genocide's son, and he just doesn't know what to do half the time, kinda like merlin. I didnt like how he lied to merlin n morgana, how he gaslit her and how he made merlin hide and become so anxious abt his magic (and we see what that looks like season 5), but i get it. I really get it. I dont know what i wouldve done if one wrong move could mean the death of two kids he considers his own. I bet he was scared all the time and hated himself for it.

27: Modern Merlin headcanons, if any?

OH BOY. OHHHH BOY. So many. It really depends on what au i have for modern merlin, but I'll give you a few generals:

he's a teacher of sorts; i like the idea that he's kinda collecting magical anomalies and teaching them how to understand their powers and being, since he knows what its like to be afraid of urself, so he's a personal magic teacher. I also rly like my magic elementary school au, since its merlin teaching magic to a bunch of kids, which is adorable

he has officially one cat, a black one called Midnight, that accidentally became immortal along the way and now hes severally attached. I say officially since hes also friends with any other animal that he might come across and they recognise him if he passes them again. disney princess fr

he's figured out his gender and he can turn into a woman if he wants; she looks exactly like merlin, same height, same weight n muscles, the hair is longer cuz merlin likes it that way and her voice is deep and gorgeous

his favourite weapon is a staff or any long distance fighting weapon of the sort; also he looks cool as fuck fighting with it, but thats just a bonus

I'll stop here but i have SO MANY MORE

30: Side character death that makes you the maddest?

Elyan. There was, quite literally, no need for it. I was gonna say Lancelot, since we did not get enough of him, but his death made sense for his character. Elyan? What the fuck was that? It was just for pain and nothing else. What did it add to the story if not just a sad funeral scene and thats it? It just felt like they wanted him gone n found a way, and that pisses me off. I feel like him saving gwen and living would've given such a complex situation when she turns evil, 'cause what if she "confides" more n more in her brother, creating a rift between arthur n elyan, which then creates a rift between arthur n the knights, which would just isolate him further n make him suffer, which is what morgana wanted!! we couldve had protective brother elyan! I think i just wanted more knights in general.

Thank you so much for this ask, I yapped a fuck ton but it was funn

bungo stray dogs cglre labels ִֶָ 𓂃⊹ ִֶָ

note: she/her pronouns for sigma bc thats a girl 🤞🏻this will be in all of my posts, im a tfem sigma truther.

atsushi- flip with no lean // i feel like atsushi needs to vent his feelings by regressing, and has a deep desire to be loved and cared for since he never received that love and care when he was really a child, and i also think thats the reason hes a caregiver! he wants to love and care for and protect others the way he wishes he couldve been, its very healing for him. his regression age is 4-5! i also believe he regresses to some kind of pet- im gonna say probably a tiger because im basic, but specifically a tiger kitten, and i like to think if he transforms into byakko when regressed its just a baby tiger kitten 😭💕

dazai- regressor // dazai has cptsd from the mafia and for reasons we probably dont wven know as the audience, and i think hes a trauma regressor because of that. hos regression age is 0-2. i like to see him as a pet regressor as well, and hes OBVIOUSLY a little kitten! i saw someone headcanon him as otter regressor too and im never gonna leave that alone either so hes a kitten and an otter

kunikida- CAREGIVER!! he just strikes me so smack in the face as a caregiver. with kunikidas trauma from when he was a teacher it makes me think hed cope by taking care of kids/regressors, to prove to himself in a way that the kids’ deaths werent his fault. i also think he funds comfort in giving rules and schedules to his littles, when youre any sort of caregiver, even with literal kids, kids need structure, and being able to provide that structure would make him feel secure. i also think he loves all littles ofc, but has a preference for babies.

ranpo- oh. this man is a regressor all. the. way. // i think ranpo regresses for two reasons. one, because hes traumatized from his parents’ sudden deaths at a young age and the trauma he endured from living on the streets, and two, because hes autistic! i think ranpo is a permaregressor as well!! his regression age is 6-9! also a puppy and a kitten regressor!

˖⁺｡˚⋆˙ ˖⁺｡˚⋆˙ ˖⁺｡˚⋆˙ ˖⁺｡˚⋆˙

akutagawa- i think hes a regressor // however i dont think he likes to admit it, and i dont even know if he understands it. he also is a puppy regressor, specifically a doberman.

chuuya- flip with caregiver lean!! // chuuyas label is VERY important to me omg. i believe chuuya is moreso of a caregiver because its just in his nature. hes a very caring, loyal person, and he wants to make sure that those he loves are safe from harm. growing up with the sheep as their king, he needed to care for them and watch out for them, especially little kids, so its kind of just ingrained into him to take care of others. however, i think also when chuuya is really stressed and has had a hard day/hard time he needs to let go and be little! when he does regress, his little age is 4-5! absolute puppy regressor as well, hes just a little baby doggie! he LOVES doggies when regressed too, his fav show is paw patrol <2

poe- i think poe is also neutral // idk ive just never felt strongly about him being either a caregiver it a regressor.

˖⁺｡˚⋆˙ ˖⁺｡˚⋆˙ ˖⁺｡˚⋆˙ ˖⁺｡˚⋆˙

fyodor- neutral // i cant see him in a caregiver role at all, and i can kindaaaa see him being a regressor but i just think its not all that fitting imo

nikolai- hes a regressor!! // and oh boy is he a mischievous one- nikolai in my mind is a bit older, about 8-10, and hes quite the chaotic kid haha. he LOVES to play pranks, scream at the top of his lungs, and when hes being taken care of he LOVSS to do magic shows too!! i kinda wanna make a post about my little nikolai hcs now… :3 i think honestly nikolai is just a silly guy, he needs a place to get all that silliness out! and thats by being a kiddo!!

sigma- flip with no lean // i dont know why but sigma just gives such mother energy. like i can imagine her loving her little calling her mama, and snuggling into her chest, and giggling softly into her hair. theres no logical reasoning i have i just feel it in my bones lol. but i think shes had a stressful life, and she has a lot of things she needs to process, ie. being born from the book, not knowing who she is or where she came from, dealing with the angels, etc. and i think in order to makeup for her not being aware of any sort of childhood she regresses to around 2-3 to make those memories and experience the childhood shes not sure if she ever even had. i can see her as a bunny regressor too!!

Im so mad at the fact that people are trying to pin Alador into being "he's not a good dad! Never was never will be. He's abusive and neglectful. He knows what he's doing."

LIKE GIIIIRRLLL. DID Y'ALL NOT SEE HOW HE AND AMITY RECONNECTED AND HOW HE FOUGHT AGAINST HIS WIFE IN AN ATTEMPT TO PROTECT HIS KIDS AND HIS HOME ??????????? ???

LIKE I GET THAT HE WASNT GOOD IN THE BEGINNING. *HE* KNOWS THAT TOO. He *knows* what he did wrong and he definitely feels remorse for all of what he did and the blind eye he turned to Odalia.

He heard his daughter out. He connected with her !!!! He told her he would try !!! And he is !!!!!!!! Now that Odalia is out of the picture, Alador now has the means to slowly rebuild that family bond with his kids. And you can TELL THAT THE KIDS ARE SO HAPPY TO HAVE THEIR DAD. AMITY RRRAANNN TO HUG HIM AFTER THEY FOUND EACHOTHER. SHE LOVES HER DAD, SAME WITH THE TWINS !!! THEY LOVE THEIR DAD !!! THEY KNOW HES TRYING !!!

"but we barely see any reconnecting! He's not trying! He's still a bad dad" HOW MUCH SCREENTIME DO YOU THINK THEY HAD TO GIVE ALADOR ?????? HUH ??? There HAS to be some off screen connections for it to wOOORRKK !!!

Alador is regretful. He wishes he couldve done things better but HES DOING THAT NNNOOWW. HE GOT THE DIVORCE. HE HAS HIS KIDS. HES LISTENING TO THEM NOW. HE LOVES THEM AND HES SO PROUD OF WHAT THEYVE ACOMPLISHED. (Thats an ON SCREEN THING. HE TELLS AMITY HOW PROUD HE IS OF HER PROGRESS WITH MAGIC. HOW SHES DOING SO GOOD.)

Alador IS a good dad. He's TRYING. he LOVES his kids. He would DIE for them. Sure he might fall back into old habits of spending all his time in the workshop or forgetting important things from time to time but he's trying his hardest. He probably has like little notes all over his workshop (somewritten by himself others written by his kids cuz they know how he is too) reminding him of things, telling him to take breaks, etc. And hed appreciate that and hed go out and hed cook dinner for the family and the kids would gather around him and bother him while he cooks (mainly edric and emira cuz i think amity would sit at the table and watch from a distance with a smile on her face) and hed very gently try to shoo them off (it dont work) and alador would turn to amity and give her a look like "can you help me?" And she just shakes her head with a BIGGER smile.

Theyd have a GOOD FAMILY DYNAMIC AFTER THE DIVORCE AND U CANT TELL ME THEY WOOULLLDDNNTTT.

ok thats all i think.

Your wish is my command, @failedcrow

HOW EPITHETS WORK:

BASICALLY ive come to the conclusion that depending on how general or specific a word is when it comes to an Epithet, the more 'powers' you have (which ive deducted is part of the creativity portion of the epithet reveal card)

For example, if you had an Epithet thats very specific to one thing, like Blizzard, Barrier, etc, you can only do that one thing and thats your whole deal. But if the word is way more general, like Winter, Protection, etc, the more the person can do.

I also dont think hyphenated words count for Epithets, since its technically a 2 in 1? Which I would say isnt fair, but then again Zora is super fucking op for no reason. But I do doubt that someone could get Immortality as their epithet.

I think in the lore you're born with your Epithet, but the way the "word tied to your soul" thing works is kind of like a Witch's bile sac in TOW (with the sac being the word you get your magic from)

FOR THE EPITHET REVEAL CARDS:

I've done a fair share of thinking and eventually came to a few conclusions that all depend on both DND stats and common sense

Proficiency: Strength, Molly made a comment abt Mera and Indus having REALLY high Proficiency, Id i were to look at this from a dnd perspective, Proficiency is a bonus to one skill, which doesn't exactly make sense in the context

Stamina: How long you can last in battle, this just feels obvious tbh

Creativity: I'm torn on this one, cuz I'm thinking its either how many moves a person with an epithet can have OR how interesting/how much thought is put into their movesets. But im leaning more towards the second option since my first theory i technically disproved myself

ERASER CUFFS:

Ok im gonna be honest, the whole way Eraser cuffs work is stupid. Just.... forgetting the Epithet? That raises more questions then answers for me, the ending of episode 7 shouldnt have been possible considering what couldve happened in episode 5 (when Mera and Indus got arrested)

And how does Percy remember her Epithet stamina??? Look, I understand RAMSEY remembering HER Epithet, but I think I have a better idea;

Basically, the cuffs click onto your wrists (feels like a spike color) and it locks off your Epithet until the cuffs come off. After that its a few minute delay to get your Epithet flow back, since its connected to your heart and normally body parts take a while to get blood circulation if cut off, Epithet circulation is gonna be like that too.

"BUT NOAH!!! IF THATS YOUR LOGICAL REASONING WHAT ABT THE ARSENE AMULET?"

For me; it'd work in a similar way, its just that when the cuffs are removed your Epithet comes back. In the case of the Arsene amulet, I say an Epithet user gets their cool powers sucked out from the chest area (Mera did that with Slyvie in ep 4) and then the sac, and the word in it just- schwoop! Gone!

Of course, because of plot, you can get it back. But I have a feeling it has a limit on how many Epithets it can hold before it expells yours. And also before your body just- straight up deflates/gives out from all the Epithets. Pretty sure you can only handle ONE considering it's a ONE WORD ABILITY!!!!!!!

So thats my Epithet Erased rant! Enjoy >:)

I cant say anything abt death note that hasnt been said to death already... so idgaf im speaking my thoughts anyways

Godddd misa is so underutilized/underrated and its a damn shame people look over her just bc shes annoying. I agree that she is annoying at time but looking at her backstory just. God. Poor thang. Her parents got killed right in front of her eyes and the killer never received punishment. She herself nearly got killed by a stalker. Man thats fucked upppppp. I genuinely wish we couldve seen more of her thoughts besides light. She clearly loved her parents very much and thats why she values kira so much, i want to see what her relationship was like with them.

I feel like a common argument i see with the death penalty is that it gives the families/parties affected a sense of closure. Misa is an interesting example of that bc she does feel at peace after her parents killer got killed. And youd think Light would have that in mind when he does all this. That maybe this is what makes killing those criminals right. But he uh. Doesnt give a shit. He doesnt even think of the "good" (very liberally using the word here) hes doing. He doesnt think of the consequences at all bc hes so sheltered. He has no reaction to the "good" he did for misa. And its like??? Youd think after that he would have even more of a god complex or something but his ego was always so through the roof it makes no difference. He doesnt have misa as an example of oh what im doing is good! Yeah im in the right! Bc he legit just doesnt give a shit 😭 he never cared in the first place about doing good things he just wanted to be right... it was always about himself never the kind people he "protected" i think thats a given tho its been 20 years we know.
