#I’M A SURVIVOR!

Finger of God

(Title is a reference to a movie. Can anyone guess?)

Danny had been feeling on edge all day. The air felt different, almost like it was charged. The wind was decently strong, making your eyes water if you faced one direction too long. The sky was filled with light grey clouds, though there wasn’t any rain forecasted by Lance Thunder.

It was during Lunch hour that it happened. Danny had begged Sam and Tucker to stick near him that morning because he couldn’t help but feel like something was going to happen. Danny hadn’t paid much attention to the growing background roar, trying to focus on finding what ghostly threat was raising his hackles. He only snapped to outward attention upon hearing the building whine of the sirens, barely allowing him to grab his friends by the waist and make them intangible.

Then it was just darkness and screaming wind as the school building was destroyed around them. It felt like hours but what was only five minutes later the trio stood shellshocked, huddled together in the ruins. Danny flew them up out of the remains to see that Amity Park… was gone. And to their southwest was the biggest tornado they had ever seen.

Danny had always thought it would be a ghost who destroyed the city but he wasn’t prepared for pure natural weather. Only their two years of heroism gave them the ability to shove their shock to the side and try to find survivors. It was Tucker who finally suggested the Justice League. “We… don’t have the resources to save anyone even if there is any survivors. The hospital is gone.”

Sam stood there blanked faced, but nodded. Danny grimaced but agreed. “Tell them only about the tornado. Whatever was preventing us from reaching them before should be gone now but it may be magic of some sort that reacts to intentions and talking about ghosts may be blocked.”

Tucker nodded. At least they all had ecto-modded phones. It meant they didn’t have service problems.

we all love the shooting arc but i’m genuinely never getting over “are you hurt?”… you mean to tell me eddie diaz was shot, bleeding out, barely conscious, and he saw some blood on buck and only cared if buck’s okay? and don’t even get me started on buck and the fact that he actually had to look down on himself to see if he’s hurt because he didn’t even think about himself for a second. he only cared about one thing and it was almost taken from him on the street in broad daylight

you wonder why I'm bitter?

I like to imagine that whenever Jackie would go to haunt Shauna post-rescue Mari would add her two cents- “and then tell her she’s a Gaywad and that I fucked her mom twice”

I just find Woodrow fun to draw. Also pre-Constant WX is very amusing to me.

when you have committed literal crimes but the crimes of your past that haunt you the most are the gay thoughts for your partner aka the person you hate most in this world

“She’s so sweet she’s always going out of her way to help others” quick someone give that girl all the love and safe space she deserves before being “sweet” (pathological people pleasing as a trauma response) destroys her and leaves behind a bitter empty shell of a person

The implication that Taissa was only ever able to move on and love someone else because she forgot. Forgot who they were in the wilderness. Forgot who Van was to her. Forgot, because she had to, because she needed to erase the Tai of that place and in so doing had to erase the Van of it, too, because they’re intrinsically linked. One and the same. Two halves of a single whole. Van never moved on; she shrouded herself in shades of memory of the rest of her life. Taissa only moved on because she made herself forget it all. And now: she’s done. Now: I could not protect her, but I can remember. I can carry her forward. The love of my life, regrets and all. Bloodstains that never wash out for anything. Nostalgia, for better or worse. Whose memories are these? Mine now, mine always.

Rin, smiling, and nagging

Rinsha Fana’s character is summarized in a couple facts thrown here and there. Because she worries for him, she follows Kabru to help his cause and protect him, and to nag him. She’s a grumpy angry tsundere, but it seems not only rooted in her attitude but on a deep rooted physical level, to the point where any intense emotion she feels will make her frown and scowl even if it’s genuine joy. Her childhood was half spent ostracized in the tallman community her family lived in and half with the elves, where she’s said to have been treated like an animal.

We don’t know how she was raised exactly or who it even was, but knowing she was "treated like an animal" by the elves taking care of her…

Elves are shown to have a highly hierarchical society, not only with their concern with status such as nobility and the purity of bloodlines but also reflected by its social culture imo. They have high society and etiquette, upmost devotion to the queen, very role-oriented, like cogs in a machine, and as such, it’s a bit skewed since most of what we see of the elves is in a military context with military people but they seem to value having emotions under lock and key to be efficient and not bring dishonor, Flamela is an interesting character on this. Don’t be a bother and do your job until you’re called on, fulfill your role, everything else is extra at best inconvenient at worst.

Personally I do think the canaries kept Rin, it’d make sense that whichever canaries got stuck with the job at the headquarters would be barebones with her and treat her like an ‘impounded article’, they couldn’t find another place for her and this way they can get her report on the events whenever she can speak again in however many years, and this way it makes sense that she could keep in touch with Kabru too. They’re used to prisoners, not kids. Being raised in a military context rather than at some orphanage would shape her further.

All of this to say…

She’d already seen the world’s harshness to those who don’t conform in her hometown, but with the elves? Her disdain for those who had formal education at a magic school?

Wouldn’t she become very concerned with proving she is not an animal, proving that she’s smart and skilled in her own right on her own merit, even without schooling. And to do this she nitpicks and nitpicks, because even being pristine isn’t enough to be respected, but at least it’s not giving others reasons to disrespect and dehumanize her. Learning to school her emotions, to scowl as a defense mechanism because anything else makes her vulnerable, because they don’t care about her as a person with feelings, because showing other expressions was dangerous or punished in some way: because it was fit in or don’t fit in and that’s the difference between having your house burnt down and being tolerated, between getting her food or having her questions answered and being yelled at to shut up… Because all her life she’s been surviving in hostile social environments and at the mercy of others, but unlike Kabru she doesn’t become a people pleaser but becomes very self-reliant and wary of socializing.

So she nitpicks and nitpicks and nags, because she’s worried. Because flaws are dangerous. So she has a hard time smiling and laughing, because it’s dangerous to allow yourself to feel safe in being authentic.

It would be nice…

can’t wait (i can) for alice to find colin’s body suspended in the middle of a dark room in wires likes he’s just been crucified, in a way

[anthotneystark]

No it’s fine I’m not crying I’m not thinking in an endless loop about how in the middle of overwhelming grief Greez still recognized that Cal was spiraling and letting his perceived guilt start to drown him, how he refused to let that happen and his voice is shaking but he needs Cal to really hear that the betrayal isn’t on him, Bode made his own choices and it’s not Cal’s fault, and he emphasizes this because he knows even if Cal gets it, guilt still has its teeth sunk into him like he does for so many things that aren’t his fault, he feels so much but Greez can’t let him carry this like everything else

Definitely not thinking about how Greez calls him kid and shows he cares with sarcasm and food and how he didn’t trust Cal when he first saw him but how quickly he trusts Cal so much over and over even when he doesn’t want to, how he wants Cal to be safe and happy even though he understands Cal needs something different. Not thinking about how trust is a central theme in everything and every time it doesn’t end well it’s another reason to never trust anyone but Greez explicitly trusts Cal to make the right choice even when Cal isn’t fully sure of himself
