#Why you have beef with a 15yo?

The only book in my bag that I hadn’t already read was called ‘Triumvirate’, a biography of the leading three members of the Protectorate. I was thinking I would spend as long as I could on Mr. Gladly’s assignment before reading, because I wasn’t enjoying the book. Biographies weren’t my thing, and they were especially not my thing when I was suspicious it was all made up.

obviously this is the part in a worm reread where one goes "teehee, Heehoo, so it was," but beyond that i think it's interesting that this bit establishes that taylor is already disillusioned with and distrustful of the narrative the PRT is presenting for itself, and it gets me thinking abt some of the early contradictions in taylor's behavior & thought processes we're going to see soon. her trauma has led her to deeply distrust systems of authority & society as a whole: the school system + A Lot of the children attending her school knew she was being bullied, and did absolutely nothing to intervene. this is reflected in her power--rather than being focused on control over just a few people or minions at once, it turns her into a walking panopticon, allowing her to survey (or attack!) entire swathes of a city at once. she feels that society itself is watching her and is either indifferent to or actively hostile to her, that attack could come from any direction at any time. and so she has the ability to watch everyone back, to avoid relying on any system of support by having her own thousand eyes (and as she learns how to innovate with her power later on, effectively her own thousand hands with which to control situations on a very broad level).

but despite this disillusionment with systems of authority (PRT/triumvirate included), despite her utter lack of trust in them and in people as a whole to do good, she still starts the book off by being Really Into the idea of being a hero, to the point where she places a nonzero amount of good faith in armsmaster under the very false expectation that he "owes her one" or would otherwise stick his neck out for her when all he's done is beef with her, a 15yo. (armsmaster why are you beefing with a 15yo.) and this fundamental bit of dissonance between her beliefs & her actions is because she'a internalized the idea that society is cruel and uncaring to her because there really is just something wrong with her, because she really is that ugly or disgusting or stupid or just Too Taylor for anyone to care about her. she distrusts systems of authority (& society as a whole) for not giving a shit about her, but she is not immune to the inevitable outcome of bullying wherein the bullied teenager believes that if they could Just Be Different, if they just Weren't Themselves, if they just weren't this terrible unlovable person, then maybe they wouldn't be treated this way. her initial obsession w/ being a hero is very much about that--she wants to believe that if she puts on this costume, if takes up this alternate identity and does it right, then the PRT will value her, then a system of authority & society as a whole will finally accept her and recognize her as something good and treat her fairly. which is a belief that we'll see ruthlessly shredded as she tries time and time again to place some last bit of trust in the PRT to not be Totally Ghoulishly Awful and the PRT breaks that trust every single time :)

ALRIGHT, A FEW OF THE NEW TOMMYINNIT VIDEOS JUST CHANGED MY WHOLE PERSPECTIVE ON POSSIBLE LORE FOR THE SERVER, SO THIS IS MY NEW VIEW ON IT!

Alright, Tommy said that he was canonically 5 years old, since the server is set on 2010, tho technically he should be 6, but that would also mean the lore is set before his birthday, which is on the 9th of April according to google, then everyone should have to be the age they were in 2010 before the 9th of april.

Which would make everyone's canon ages be:

Tommyinnit - 5

Philza Minecraft - 22

Jschlatt - 11

Mumbo Jumbo - 15

Quackity - 10

Charlie Slimecicle - 10

Which i find hilarious.

And, using this context, everything could be part of Tommy and his friends' own imagination...

But... what if the adults in their lives THINK it's their imagination, while they're actually messing with something much worse! *dramatic music* :OOOO

Maybe Quackity could be some sort of Fae that found this child some time after meeting him (that would also be conected to why Tommy follows his direction even when he's not there).

Tommy's mace could actually be made of cardboard or maybe Mumbo could be the most deranged 15yo ever and just give a mace to a child.

(Also, Welsknight would be canonically 20, so this random 11yo just having beef with a young adult is hilarious xD)

The mountains could be literal and close to Tommy's house, while the invited people are his playdates that are seriously scared of what this child does, while some of them just go "fuck it" and go along with it.

Another thing is that Molly would be canonically like, 7 or smth? So this little 5yo just going: "please guys, just let me hang out with my gf" and us just going: "no, get a 22yo birdman instead" is objectively funny.

(Another detail that i find cute is that Tommy inherits The Voices from Technoblade, and that's why he sometimes needs our opinion on who goes play with him)

I feel like the name should be something like "The Adventures of Tom Simons", "Tommyinnit's nursery rhymes" or "annoyingly ever after".

I wish there was a lawyer in CW.

I have a beef with the creators of MCU over the fact that they had a perfectly cool and capable lawyer in their universe, and not a single one of them thought that MAYBE they should introduce him in CW.

They didn’t do it only because “they wanted the conflict to be personal”, blah. Yeah, and thanks to that stupid idea Civil War has NO INFORMATION about the Accords, and it feels as if half of the characters didn’t even know what was inside and instead listened to Ross, who may as well be lying or obscuring the truth with his own biased interpretation. And we all know he has his own.

Thanks to that now all the info about the Accords comes from a separate source, which may not even be correct, considering that Agents of SHIELD are kinda weirdly attached to the MCU with all the weird stuff happening there, not to mention that half of the rules may have changed due to Steve’s rampage through Europe, as his actions have given an example to everybody “why people should actually fear enhanced individuals”, and therefore Accords could be changed.

Anyway.

Tony could then recruit Matt Murdock for Team Iron Man, but if you ask me I still think that recruiting Peter was a better option. Why? Well, I doubt that Matt can actually pacify anybody without beating them up to a pulp, so ultimately Peter is a pacifist choice. However asking a 15yo kid to join them was problematic (though at the time Tony thought he was in college, and honestly I relate to the inability of gauging ages of other people so much), ultimately taking Peter to Civil War was the most logical choice. Peter’s abilities provided an opportunity for harmless pacifying in case the battle actually broke out. I bet Tony didn’t want the battle to happen at all, but Peter was his plan B in case it actually happened, and he needed to pacify the team without harming them. There was barely anybody else with the abilities similar to Peter’s, so even if Tony wanted to take someone else, Peter was the best choice in that case.

If not Matt, though, they could always introduce Jennifer, and then we would already have her in the MCU before her own TV show was out. She could be a She-Hulk at the time, or not be She-Hulk at all yet. And then in her TV show, we would either get an introduction of her as an independent hero and/or an origin story.

Noticed @eldraconic​‘s tags on a reblog of mine about mental illness in the divinekin tags, and honestly.

I’m a god, but not a God in the way Vicers and Justim set down the definition. I’m definitely malevolent, dark energy and all, that’s how it be. I admit I don’t go much into any divinekin tags anymore. Even actuallydeific, which I created. It’s just... Every time I go into the divinekin tags, I leave with a sour taste in my mouth.

Part of that is the contempt towards angels, yeah, that’s an issue I’m never getting over and I don’t really care to. They’re a bit much just on their own even without the fact that I can’t stand them. But a lot of that is... I don’t really want to call folk not-valid or whatever, or say that I don’t believe their experiences, but if there’s other actual godkin around that are actually godkin, that aren’t just 15yos mistaking being 15 for deification, I’ve seen like, two.

I’d do quite a bit for the opportunity to sit down and shoot the shit with another god, in proper terms, in actuality. To talk about creation and subjects and will and the nature of divinity, and what it feels like from the inside, and what we do with it. Comment on this world’s path from the perspective of someone who has experience guiding and leading a world as complex as this. Mostly, I just want someone who understands the powers I’m missing and the will I still have, who gets it when I say sometimes I just want to wander the world and make changes to its fundamental self, and have things turn out the way I intend them to, because I said so.

Now maybe I don’t see it because I don’t go looking anymore. Because I’m not going to block angels for existing and prevent them from interacting with my posts not because we have beef but because they annoy me, and they can’t exactly stop. Maybe it’s just that nobody wants to talk about being gods, for fear of what antikin say, or because we all think we’re yelling into the void and nobody’s going to answer, when the opposite should be true for us.

But I don’t really know. I see quite a few godkin in the tags, and none of them strike me as anything similar to myself. Most of them seem to be the same annoying angels, with an extra dash of edginess and smug demeanor. And maybe this would be fixed if people actually used copinglink as a term and community more often, I’d sure be less annoyed at a godlink than I would someone who says they’re godkin and they’re not. Community’s always been open for those whose divinity is delusional in nature, but... You’ve got to say that. You can’t walk in and tell me you’re godkin same way I am, and lie to me while you’re doing it, and expect me to be happy with the fact I can’t relate to you at all.

Makes me wonder. The only thing keeping this damn community of otherkin and all together is introspection, and it feels nobody on the divine side actually does it save for me. Would it kill folks to ask themselves why, find the answers, and admit to it instead of lying to themselves and everyone who might be interested in helping them? Would it kill folks to even just admit they’re not sure?

I’m lonely, sometimes, and I dislike that even here, because of all the stupid drama and internet clout, I can’t find anyone who I relate to. Closest I can find is Dana, and while we’ve both got the fae connection, she’s so light-aligned it kind of cancels out. Fascinating discussion to have, but she’s not anything like me.

I don’t know. I just wish there was more of us that I could find.

Unfortunate Sisters AU

Alright guys it’s full pitch time! 

So. When Fiona was ~5 and Carmelita was ~2, Fiona’s Mom, Miranda Caliban, married Carmelita’s Dad, Captain Widdershins. 

They only barely remember a time without each other. They’ve got an argumentative relationship, but they definitely love each other as sisters. It’s at the point where they’re secure enough in their relationship that they’ll use “you’re not my real sister” as a joke insult.

Fiona: Mom said it’s my turn to use the x-box. Carmelita: Shut up you’re not my real sister. 

When Fiona was ~9 and Carmelita ~6, Miranda gave birth to their half-sister Friday. 

They each have their own interests, of course. 

Fiona is a mycologist and botanist, and knows basically everything about gardening and mushrooms. 

Carmelita is an actress and performer; she knows everything about theater and film. She also knows a lot about behind-the-scenes production, too, so she knows how to direct, design sets and costumes, write, etc. 

Friday is a researcher, and has read multiple books far past her age level. 

Neither of their parents were ever very... present. Widdershins was constantly in his submarine, which he kept trying to drag Fiona onto, but she ran off back to the house whenever she could. And Miranda almost always found an excuse to be out of the house. Fiona basically raised Carmelita and Friday. 

Fiona remembers her older brother, who basically raised her but disappeared pretty soon after the wedding. Carmelita only has the barest memories of Fernald. 

Then one day, Fiona takes her sisters to the beach while their parents spend some time at home. Mainly they wanna show Friday how empty Briny Beach is on cloudy days. 

Suddenly, Mr Poe appears and tells them that their parents perished in a terrible fire. The bank will take care of the Caliban-Widdershins fortune until Fiona comes of age, but until then, they need to go to their closest living relative. 

They’re to be sent to the custody of Fernald- which shocks them, as they didn’t know he was, you know. Alive and publicly walking around. 

And in the same fUCKING CITY AS THEM WHAT THE FUCK DAD-

However, once they arrive at Fernald’s house, things get... weird.

He’s acting very nervous and apologetic, though he won’t say why, he won’t explain shit, and he lives with an acting troupe in a giant mansion that’s falling apart. 

Fernald’s boss, Olaf, puts the children to work cleaning up the house, which Fernald seems too scared to put a stop to. 

They cook him dinner, using Fiona’s knowledge of culinary mushrooms and Friday’s cookbooks. However, Olaf is angry that they didn’t make Roast Beef, and Carmelita goes off on him, and on Fernald for not defending them. Olaf slaps her. 

The next day, Olaf tells them that he wants them to participate in a play of his; Friday and Carmelita figure out that he intends to use it to literally marry Fiona, while pretending it’s part of the play, in order to gain access to the Caliban-Widdershins fortune. 

Olaf kidnaps Friday and locks her in a cellar to force Fiona to participate, guarded by the Bald Man. The girls find out quickly that Fernald is unaware of the plan, but they’re unable to warn him. 

Fiona gets out of the marriage by signing with her left hand, while Carmelita manages to break Friday out. 

Upon being caught trying to force a 15yo to marry him, Olaf escapes with his troupe. Seeing as Fernald has disappeared, Poe decides that the children need to go to another, more suitable guardian. 

And thus, their series of unfortunate events begins...
