#I'm onto something here

Some of my favorite spn episodes are were it's from someone else's prospective.

Like the ghost faces ep or s8 EP4 bitten with those nerdy camera kids!!!

Because not only is the editing fun, like it's some rando docu series from the 2000's made by kids in a basement (super underground, literally), but it is that! Like it's just a bunch of kids/young adults doing stuff and learning about the supernatural for the first time!!

So of course that's very interesting and new because when spn starts off Sam and Dean already know about the world, they grew up in it. Which is good because, well the narrative, but I love seeing fresh meat.

It's like all those other books and TV shows. The nativity of watching them try and figure out a crime? Amazing. 10/10.

But also it's the outside perspective on Sam and Dean that I love. Like duh these guys show up and are all tall and intimidating, weather they're pretending to be FBI agents or just fighting ghosts. Would you trust them?? No.

Like in the episode bitten where a guy gets, well yk, his GF and best friend gotta figure out what to do. The nerdy best friend wants to be all super powered up like the guy which is important for later, but not in the perspective of Sam and dean.

These collage kids, high, get a knock on the door from the FBI agents who were investigating the dead guy that popped up and asked if someone was bitten?? One weird question, two someone WAS bitten, and three the men walk off talking about killing a Mayan god. So obviously the kids keep it to themselves and investigate these 'cops'.

Find out they *aren't* cops and are instead some kinda hunters? Who are after the thing that turned the guy. So obviously they aren't gonna trust em??

Anyways I love those episodes, it's like watching a old YouTube video put online in 2010 by a couple of dweebs who somehow found some shit. Like it reminds me of the lame older brother in 90's movies.

unfortunately if I want to independently develop a hypothesis about Rohan's economic/subsistence structure I really need to learn things like the requirements of taking care of horses in the winter and the growing seasons/growing lengths of crops like lettuce, radishes, carrots, and kale, and metalworking time and space commitments, and the types of houses that can be erected and torn down quickly, and the required land area of grazing per horse, and the social organization of Iron Age Eurasian horse cultures, and what other animals might naturally live on the Mark, and productivity and caloric value of mare's milk,

and like. also reread the Lord of the Rings lol

I absolutely adore the fanon Nightmare Gang found family stuff but... If one of these suckers gets sick they're gonna struggle.

Like, okay, I don't think Nightmare can reasonably get sick. It would make no sense for any virus, bacteria, or parasite to have evolved to survive and thrive in a goop that literally only he posses. He's fine.

But he's also gonna be completely useless when it comes to looking after his team. He would fall for the good old paranoia-inducing mistake of googling the symptoms and finding only death-sentences. And then he's just gonna be miserable and mope until his boys are better.

Killer meanwhile, would logically get sick, but also he would definitely hide it. Like, he was still conditioned by Chara to be a killing machine, no way my guy would just share such a big vulnerability. The others would only find out once he's already in really bad shape and most of the time they wouldn't find out at all.

On the other hand, while I imagine he'd be adept at setting broken bones and the general basic field medicine (again, because of his past he probably had to learn the basics to survive and remain functional), his solution to deal with any actual illness would be "just ignore it until it goes away".

I'm pretty sure Horror is technically already dead, so I don't know if he can get sick... Though I'd say probably? I mean, his body doesn't seem all too different from that of other monsters. Regardless, when sick I say he'd go in full survival mode, build a nest somewhere and be completely unapproachable unless you want your hand chewed off.

On the other hand, being the only one with a living brother and with both of them living in really harsh conditions, he probably has had to handle sickness rather often. Of course, with the lack of resources back in his universe, he mostly had to go for the basics, so his solution is a warm broth and some wet pieces of cloth. At most hot water to disinfect wounds. He's still at least doing something.

Cross is basically like Killer. He doesn't want to appear weak (with a father like his I highly doubt weakness was allowed) so he hides any minor sickness. Though I do think he'd tell, like, Horror if things are getting really bad. If anything, ao he doesn't become a burden for the others during missions.

And, again, much like Killer, I think he definitely would know field medicine. He was trained as a Royal Guard after all, they must have taught him things like that. But actual sickness? Yeah, they probably had medics that handled it when it got too severe. He doesn't know jack shit. His solution is just going to Horror and hoping he's got it handled.

Dust would straight up gaslight himself into thinking he's not sick and that's just his body punishing him for his sins. He literally would not believe it's anything else until someone (again, most likely Horror) pointed it out to him.

And the worst part is that, once he knows, there's no fucking way he'd let anyone treat him for it. That self-loathing fucker would rather suffer through it in some pointless attempt at receiving some form of redemption. He's cooked. Horror would need to tie him to the bed just to force him to get some rest.

So, anyway, this is my propaganda to say let's get at least one Sans who is mentally healthy enough and knowledgeable enough to keep these guys from dying in here.

My vote is for Lust Sans. Just because I love him.

Though someone like Color could also unlock some very fun dynamics. And he may actually get Killer to stop hiding his symptoms like an idiot. And perhaps Cross too. Literally, those guys would lie about getting bit in a zombie apocalypse

I am once again analyzing the haus layout and mourning all the little nooks I haven't seen in fics. jack has his own walk-in closet?? (so does bitty, btw)

so many opportunities for bitty helps jack pick a tie/shirt and they get locked inside getting togethers

so many opportunities for year 2 au's with secret zimbits relationship where one of them has to hide in the other's closet to avoid getting caught

post-kegster game of hide and seek where jack and bitty both end up hiding in the closet (this may or may not be a real thing that happened to me)?

so many jokes about being in the closet

like, at least one scenario I can think of where shitty talks to jack through the shared wall of their closets, pretending to be the haus ghosts

okay sorry to be a faggot but! listener's culture around respecting the bodies of the dead and then some fanon interpretations of the significance of mandalorian armor and what "desecration" looks like to mandos and... there's something here i know it

like obviously they can't really "pass down" carapace in the way mandos can pass down armor, but both groups can be interpreted as/written as having a no-one-but-family deal

but then what happens with the naasade? does their armor just go to a local goran to be melted for foundlings? and the listener equivalent, when there is no next of kin?

while tagging had some thoughts

Mandos have the Ka'ra and Manda and all that, and "stars-touched" can hear it like other Force-sensitives (and I'm writing literally an entire fic that is mostly just about different Force traditions so . I'll stop there) but the listeners become disillusioned with their own "ancient council of rulers"; somewhere I saw a post that talked about how listeners not disturbing the bodies of the dead was a remnant of the refusal of the old gods' body-takeovers

So! the two cultures reasons for not stripping/disturbing the bodies are super super different, one out of respect for the spiritual ancestors and one out of worry that those ancestors will come and terrorize them again--but the similarities!

that's all for now i think

Junior and his older stepbrother topher who is the WORST influence

Here's how you stop Atlas from rebelling again while still punishing Kronos: make Kronos or one of his brothers like Crius, Coius or Hyperion hold up the sky. I know Kronos is already cut into a million pieces, but I'm sure there's ways to get around that. Either way, I think Atlas would easily become a turncoat if you promised him freedom from his eternal punishment. Everyone besides Kronos's brothers like Hyperion and Crius could probably be negotiated with. At least I think Atlas and (maybe) Prometheus could be negotiated with in this manner. Because I'd gladly turn traitor if it meant freedom from pain.
