#Sorry. Just thinking about older days.

Hey.

It's not like me to get serious, but I just want to put it out there that it's fine to say "no", alright? You can just do that. Like, to turn down an invitation to an event you don't wanna go to, or to keep something you like to yourself even if someone else really wants it, whatever.

Being selfish is fine, sometimes. 👍

Something I've been thinking a lot about lately is how everyone thought Egon had gone insane. What Happened that made them think that. They've fought a gigantic Stay Puft Marshmellow Man TWICE (counting the 2009 video game because iirc it's canon? Correct me if I'm wrong), fought an interdimensional god, fought a blood thirsty ruler that killed thousands and was hated by all that was trapped in a painting (and managed to get in to beat him by making THE STATUE OF LIBERTY start walking down the street with slime that reacted purely based on vibes), found an underground abandoned transit system full of the moodslime, had a bathtub try to eat Dana and her baby, fought a giant murderous black widow lady, fought the fisherman ghost who turned an entire hotel floor into the bottom of a ocean, and that's not even mentioning them getting trapped on an island that randomly raised up from underwater that had been abandoned for decades created by Ivor Shandor who worshipped Gozer. So what did he do or say that made everyone else think he'd gone insane?? All I can think is maybe he was acting strange / eratic before, but he's always been like that to some degree.

I don't know. It's something that I've been thinking about. The correct answer is 'it's not that deep and they needed a reason that the others weren't together anymore and weren't aware of Egons death or know what was going on,' but also. What Was He Saying that prompted everyone, including Ray, to think he lost his mind when he'd been right almost every time before that.

I'm genuinely so curious as to what he was up to before this. What was he doing. What insane idea was working on prior to this or was he even working on anything at all??

Also want to clarify this post isn't negative 😭 I really love the newer movies and their lore / the newer storyline / characters, I just like thinking about small stupid things like this. Gives me something to think about / speculate about / figure out an answer to.

people just ignore Thor was a feral child, huh? like his life goal was probably to demolish another race at age 12 and he was probably begging to go to war and attempted to murder their father for not letting him via telepathy that he didn't have.

Thinking about Chrissy who finally gets out of her parents' house and goes off to college but didn't realize how much she would miss her brother when she did.

He's the only other person who knows what it's like to be in that house and he's always been her ride or die. They played together when they were little and he stuck by her when she broke up with Jason and lost all of her "friends" and always wanted to hang out with her when nobody else would. He always looked up to her and made sure she knew she was worth it and loved and as he got bigger he'd stand up for her to anyone who gave her trouble.

She lets him come stay with her at school sometimes and she drives him around the city and they hang out like they used to because even though she's got good friends now he's still her baby brother and her best friend and she loves him

happy two year anniversary to mirrorverse, I’m sorry to everyone I’ve inflicted this on (not really about the inflicting it on you but about the length) (how did it get so long in two years)

don't mind me just dethorning the bramble in my stick insects' cage because a CERTAIN beautiful old lady

managed to snag her wing on one and got stuck there until I saw and detangled her and I am not eager to repeat the experience!!

ALSO I finally managed to get a picture of the whole family as it is now :DDD

1 adult Indian stick insect, 1 adult Pink Winged stick insect and three Pink Winged stick insect nymphs at various stages of development

(I also have an Indian stick insect nymph but she lives in a separate enclosure at the moment and is so tiny getting her out would be way to stressful for both her and me)

like. Nina listens to Taylor, moderately keeps up with the front-facing aspects of her life, enjoys her quality, has her minor critiques, recognizes her place in the current culture, can set her down and do other things when she wants to, and most importantly knows who Taylor is through her art.

one of these days i'm going to write up all that i've changed from azzarello's bullshit era and the one (1) piece i've kept from milligan (and also changed) and the only thing currently stopping me is that it is going to be so, so inside-baseball incomprehensible. and i almost never want to go reading/screencapping azzarello and milligan to add references but i Want to add references.

canon is goop, just know that we continue to ride the bus down "hellblazer ended at #250 and looks like swiss cheese before that" street.

what if vaatu got midori instead??

Well.. "got" is kinda the wrong word here because honestly, I don't see Vaatu willingly fusing with a human in most circumstances, the exceptions being Adumbration by @katkastrofa – which barely counts since it was less fusing and more him being inside her already by virtue of growing inside Raava – and my Avatar Suiren AU, in which it's done on Vaatu's terms and Suiren doesn't remain fused to him a second longer than she has to, as much as she loves her little emo kite (may or may not be falling under the influence of both Kat and @shadelorde by implying that whatever the fuck Unalaq was doing with Vaatu was coerced and barely consensual since Unalaq was the one who had the most power in that sitiation. Do with that information what you will). And if he were to, I doubt Midori would be his first choice, nor would Midori herself wish to be the Avatar, Dark or otherwise

BUT if we operate under the assumption that it does somehow happen, Vaatu would have access to all of Midori's inner workings and I'm afraid that listening to her anxiety-ridden internal monologue of "I will forever be inferior to my gorgeous, powerful and capable sister. She will always be better than me, more beloved by everyone whose opinion matters, unaware of the inescapable shadow she casts. I'm doomed to remain the pathetic, useless little sister who can't even stand up for herself" will hit way, way too close to home and he'd yeet himself out of her within five minutes

You know come to think of it, if anyone should've been giving Zane the business for how he was treating Syrus in the early show which literally everyone should've been but I digress it should've been Alexis.

She knew they were siblings the whole time, she was friends with Zane pre episode 1 probably through Atticus before he disappeared, and she knew better than anybody what their relationship was like, and even if she didn't know everything she at least knew something about the whole thing. She even tried to dissuade Jaden from confronting Zane about it to try and figure out what the issue was and what happened between them. Granted she was worried about Jaden making things worse, but even so she could have and should have just told Jaden what was going on at that point. It would've been very helpful for everyone ultimately if she just spilled the beans quite frankly.

Also she should have played the Atticus card on Zane at some point. Like a whole "My brother is gone and I don't know if I'll ever see him again and I miss him so much and you were his best friend, and you're supposed to be my friend too. You know I'd do anything to have my brother back and here you are treating yours like actual shit and abusing him and wishing he wasn't around and for what? How dare you." Kind of way. Because if anyone could talk to Zane that way and not get their asses kicked it would be her. He wouldn't dare be mean to her, especially when she's right.

But then there's another thought I have often. How dare Zane be friends with Alexis and be so nice to her and encourage her to keep searching for Atticus and then turn around and continue his abusive behavior towards Syrus and say literally anything bad about him around her. How dare he.

Also in my mind it stands to reason that all 4 of them knew each other or at least knew of each other pre episode 1. Because since Atticus and Zane were friends before you know Atty was constantly talking about Alexis because the guy adores his sister, and I feel like at some point it would've just naturally come up in conversation that Zane had a brother and that he and Alexis were the same age. And somehow that info would make its way to Lex and Sy, probably letters or calls home or over breaks and that stuff would just naturally come up at some point. And clearly she and Zane at the very least had met pre episode 1 because they're already friends at that point so she clearly then knows who Syrus is anyway, and based on conversations she had with both Zane and Jaden in episode 7 she clearly knew at least in part what the issue with Zane and Syrus was and was just sitting on it.

I could keep talking and rambling out of my ass here but I guess ultimately my point is Alexis of all people should've been getting on Zane's bitch ass for how badly he'd been treating Syrus for fucking years and still was and is, and Zane just sucks and is a shitty shitty guy. And how dare he be friends with her and practocally treat her like she's his own sister and turn around and abuse his own brother. Especially when he knows better than anybody that she would do anything to see her own again and yet he's treating his like he doesn't matter to him.
