#SISTERS IN NARRATIVE. TO ME.

This is how they survive. You must know this. You're too smart not to know this.

In Sophomore Year, Adaine's nightmare vision of herself is in mourning garments, speaking to her underlying fear that, as an elf, she'll outlive everyone she cares about and have to face forever alone.

In the finale of Junior Year, Aelwyn says that she hopes that she and Adaine can eat ice cream and do magic together forever and Adaine with no trace of insincerity agrees. She still has to face forever, but not alone. Not anymore.

There are no more heroes.

Well, okay. Rewind a bit.

Danny has been doing the hero thing for a while now. He’s had a big reveal; everyone has accepted him (including his parents), the GIW disbanded, the Anti-Ecto acts repealed, and generally, everything is going great. Some of the A-Listers are even training as junior ghost hunters to help give him a break from his rogues! (Being Ghost King makes things hectic sometimes, and he just needs the extra help. Sue him!)

The point is, literally nothing is wrong with Danny Phantom’s afterlife.

And then Valerie Gray, the Red Huntress, disappears in front of his eyes.

Danny is baffled! She’s just…gone! Valerie just popped out of existence, like she was never there. But no matter how hard he searches in the Ghost Zone, he can’t find her soul anywhere. His core isn't broken in grief. So she’s not dead. Which is good. So then, where is she?

Some of the others come forward with ideas on how to find her. A few ghosts volunteer to go out into the mortal realm, an area Danny had declared off-limits, to see if she was out there. Danny approves it. He rounds up some of the friendlier (i.e., discreet) ghosts and Amity Parkers and demolishes the outside travel ban.

So everyone spreads out, looking for their dear frenemy and teammate. But it becomes apparent very quickly that something is wrong with the rest of the world.

There are no more heroes.

Every single living superhero on the face of the Earth has just…vanished. Villains are running amok; the countries are in chaos! Some aliens are invading Earth, mythical deities are trying to take over, and society is crumbling to the ground. Everything is on the brink of collapse.

Well, Danny was still there. And so were his people. They were pretty spread out, so could they just…take up the mantles? He also knew where to find the souls of dead heroes in the Zone; surely they wouldn't mind coming out of retirement for a little bit, especially if they couldn't die again. Oh! And that skeleton army leftover from Pariah Dark's reign might be useful in repelling those invading forces.

Honestly, there were more than enough hands to go around! And with the heroes gone, Danny didn't mind letting everyone out for a little break, as long as they followed his rules. They wouldn't stop the search for the other heroes, but hopefully, when they found them, the heroes wouldn't mind Danny's intervention too much. :)

In other words:

Someone fucks up, and all of Earth's living heroes are either wished out of existence or are whisked away to some far-off realm where Danny hasn't checked yet. In the attempt to figure out what's going on, Danny lets the dead run amok over the Earth as they search for clues. The skeleton army repels the invading armies, the souls of dead heroes deal with the world leaders, and his rogues and other Amity Parkers set up shop in place of famous heroes, trying to get the cities under control again.

Basically, they just do their best to keep everything from imploding until the Justice League and others are back.

(And why is it that Danny hasn't disappeared? Well, whatever caused everyone to go poof! only affected living heroes. Anyone heroes that were dead in the first place, or even just half-dead, stayed behind.)

Palestinian freedom fighters breaking out of Gaza and reclaiming their occupied territories. They’ve taken over israeli tanks and have chased out the settlers that were on that land. They’ve launched rockets everywhere and the iron dome has failed to intercept. This is about to mark a momentous event in history.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

the thing that really gets me about mizumono is that will doesn’t even fight back. he saw alana mangled outside. he knows jack might be dead. he has a loaded gun in hand. but not once does he try to hurt hannibal. he doesn’t even shoot. will just lets him caress his cheek, fingers curling into his hair. there’s no resistance. when hannibal stabs him, will leans into it. he doesn’t want to escape. and it all hurts so badly because it’s not like will tricked hannibal into loving him; he simply persuaded him that he might love him back. because that’s what will thought hannibal did to him in s1, and only now does he realise that maybe it was more real for hannibal than he thought. or worse, that maybe he wants to be with hannibal regardless of whether hannibal genuinely loves him. that maybe it’s worth it to be close to him, even if his touch splits his stomach open

people who are like "oh no they ruined Caitlyn she is on the bad side now" am I the only one glad that Caitlyn's character took this turn? She was the face of the enforcers to the viewers for such a long time. She was kind, compassionate and diligent, the perfect "good cop".

But that's not a fair representation of the enforcers now, is it.

Vi and Powder were orphaned by enforcers. Kind? No.

When in order to survive, they snuck into Piltover to steal goods to sell them, it was enforcers's job to catch and punish these kids, no questions about what kinda life drove these children to do that asked. Compassionate? No.

When Vi got kidnapped arrested. She was put in prison for 6+ years, I doubt there was ever a due court process to determine whether this child was really guilty and deserved imprisonment or not. Diligent? No.

Book: This young woman was lively, vivacious, outgoing, and cheerfully unconcerned about propriety.

Me: Okay, she seems fun.

Book: She had an older sister who was quiet, thoughtful and proper, but not as beautiful/captivating.

Me: Oh no, I just found my new favorite character.

There’s something so important about Gillion - who never heals himself, who rushes into danger, who hides his wounds- facing death and realizing he isn’t unafraid as he was raised to be. He uses his magic on himself to help with the exhaustion, to keep his life intact. And still he tries to comfort Jay and Chip while he’s coherent, being realistic about his chances but refusing to make it painful. Wanting their possible last moments to be light, to be about seemingly inconsequential things, small favorites that still mean the world to him purely because they’re Chip and Jay’s favorites. And then when all is said and done, he makes a raccoon for Jay. He talks about raspberries for Chip. He uses his last saved up arcane energy to try desperately to stay awake, and it works, and it saves him in the final hour.

It’s just. There’s something about how he hasn’t had a chance to rest since the Feywild, really, truly rest. How this whole time he’s been down on himself and taking extreme risks. And now, at what might be the end of it all, he realizes he doesn’t want to die. He wants to live. And not to be able to save others, not to fulfill his destiny, not out of obligation to anyone else - but purely for himself. For all the little things. And though it’s not quite healing in the literal term, his nearly final act was spent trying to save himself - and it worked.

Is it just me or was the placement of the caitvi sex scene kinda weird? Like jinx pretty much told vi she was gonna kill herself so it just didn’t feel in character for her to ignore tht n just go at it w caitlyn right after idk I could be reading too much into it

no I definitely agree. when I read the leaked info for the episodes a week ago and I saw, "cait and vi fuck in jinx's cell" I was like. well that sounds totally fake, that'd be pretty stupid and perhaps rushed even. and then when the episodes began playing out exactly like the leak I thought well maybe the scene will still be handled well. yeah about that

[arggghhhsstuff]

thinking about how Ranni adopts the alias Renna as a tribute to the woman who taught her sorcery, and how one of the ‘Three Sisters’ towers is named Renna’s Rise. thinking about how Seluvis’s Rise definitely used to have a different name before Seluvis entered Ranni’s service—was it Rennala’s tower before that? was it Rellana’s? I imagine two of the Three Sisters used to be Rellana’s Rise and Rennala’s Rise, and then Ranni gave one to Seluvis and renamed one after her mentor, and in fact I think it’s safe to say that Ranni did rename one of them thanks to Iji’s line, “Along the dark path of the Empyrean, from Renna’s Rise, as [Ranni] calls it.” but then who was the third sister? were the Sisters built before and named for a generation from even further back than Ranni’s mom and aunt?

granted, it’s possible that the towers are a newer addition to the manor grounds: the towers are in much better shape than the ruins around them, and the sending gate on Renna’s Rise was presumably placed there or at least enchanted by Ranni herself, or so I’d assume. Ranni could have had the Three Sisters built while she was still a living human, with her aunt off defending Messmer and her mother running the academy and nobody around to question or veto her construction plans, but Iji implying that Renna’s Rise was renamed does lead me to believe that the towers have been there a long time, and maybe only fell into disrepair because Ranni only cared about maintaining (or only had the resources to maintain) the Sisters. nobody is keeping the manor itself running and maintained, after all, unless you count Pidia, I guess.

still, it’s intriguing to wonder who the Three Sisters might have been originally constructed for or named after or both. I don’t think there’s any evidence that Renna, the ‘snowy crone’ Ranni learned magic from, is a third sibling of Rennala and Rellana’s, especially not if that rise was renamed. I’ve always imaging Rennala taking Ranni to meet Renna and learn magic from her as sort of a reference to the concept of the triple goddess or the Maiden, Mother, and Crone—a daughter, a mother, and a grandmother—which has always lead me to assume Renna was an elderly relative from an older generation the Carian line, and not a sibling, and the towers aren’t called The Two Sisters & Their Mom. plus, again, if Renna were one of the three sisters for whom the architectural Three Sisters were named, her Rise wouldn’t have needed to be renamed at all. so who the heck lived in Renna and Seluvis’ rises beforehand? who lived in Ranni’s? I’ve never given it much thought before but I just caught that line from Iji after replaying this quest for probably the twentieth time and now I feel like I know so much less about the Carians than I thought I did.
