also ive been rotating how Gideon absolutely considered Wake to be her MOTHER before having that fantasy ripped away from her and like, that experience of learning the bedrock of your existence is a lie and the person who made you did not love you and did not want you and what do you do with that when you did not ask to be born. and also of course Wake's own experience as someone who likely never saw herself as a mother and whose only claim to the title is the result of a hail mary pass so desperate that it wasn't even a choice at all. something about directly contradicting agencies creating a tangle of tragedy...... Gideon cannot have a mother who loves her because Wake was not a mother but at the same time Wake can never escape the fact that Gideon is a child that she created

this is relevant to a lot of fanspaces, but I'm feeling it most with CritRole C3 right now, though it applies to a lot of other works too: I feel like a lot of fans mistake "the work had the potential to expound on XYZ themes and tell a narrative about such-and-such with these particular building blocks" for the work actually telling that narrative and working with those themes
the building blocks merely existing in a text does not necessarily mean that the text has that particular narrative at all, let alone is telling that narrative well. a lot of the time, a text has the potential for it but is not using those elements to actually tell that story and is just plain ol' missed opportunity

Fascinating to me that Hunter in the owl house not only fills the “child soldier of the villain who switches sides” archetype but if we are going through the tropes of fairy tales that The Owl House likes to play with, is a little bit the princess in the tower??

Thinking about the headcanon of T'Pol as a transwoman and how that'd interact with her continually being confronted by biological children she didn't have a choice in making which die or disappear. Inspired by this post by @cmdrtpol [Patreon | Commissions]

i’ve said it three million times but i will always be obsessed with ‘ventus’ on @projectdestati ‘s darkness album bc of the way the drum improv section in the second half of the track makes it sound like a march. like that’s one of my favorite things about ventus- he’s a victim of horrible circumstances, for sure, but also he’s always been notable for how much agency he has in the face of all this
ven chooses to stand up to the darkness that used him and to absorb it once more, he chooses to take down vanitas even if it means taking himself down too, etc. ven marches headfirst into the tragedies that befall him. he repeatedly willingly volunteers himself as a sacrificial lamb. his story is sad, bittersweet like a lullaby, and his original theme reflects that really well. but this arrangement being split into two parts- one more like the tragic original, and one reflecting the moment he gets up to make a resolute decision- more fully captures his character i think. he is so strong and so brave and so determined AUURHHGH i love him

honestly??? i still dont know what to do with the idea that there might be a bunch of clone fords out there???? it honestly makes me so unhinged??????
#i'm guessing that they'd be.... hamster like consider how the sev'ral timez clones turned out#gravity falls#ford pines#stanford pines#but honestly if this becomes a thing#then that means stan is the only one without a duplicates story lmao#stan: ....huh. never thought you'd be a deadbeat dad at the age of 18#ford: i'm disowning you.#(something something ford seeing versions of himself lacking any type of agency at all#.....probably would be further convinced that hes cursed somehow tbh :///)#.....oh hey theyd probably can settle the whole 'are they identical or fraternal' debate by having a clone with 5 fingers lmao#altho... how fast do they develop in the tubes#would they appear to be the same age as the stan twins anyway lol#(....would the artists forget that their hair wouldnt floof upwards cos thats a portal incident thing lol)#also is ford's stripe of white hair considered to be a side effect of his metal plate surgery#its a lot paler than stan's hair colour im pretty sure#would the clone fords be hyperobnoxious considering the doc hyping up their talents???#they wouldnt have ford's crippling insecurities and they wouldnt have a stan to help ground them#but they probably wouldnt have ford's fascination with weirdness either#how many other clones are there in general?????#(also rip mabel and the girls not really solving the whole 'that boy band producer is#just gonna keep making more trapped clones to replace em' problem)#truly the ethical problems of this kids tv show skgdgkhfhk#......everyone's reaction to a clone stan really would be 'tHIS IS WHAT YOU SOUND LIKE IF YA DIDNT SMOKE???'#guy who clearly started smoking when he was like 13 lmao

I’ve been thinking about Mark trying to take agency over his body.
The show tackles abuse of power—sexualized, racialized... violence against children too. But with enough distance that it’s not unbearable to watch for victims of these things. A recognition and reimagining of harmful power structures, not a direct reenactment.
Mark is both Frankenstein and the monster, both Orpheus and Eurydice. Created without his permission though a new science. Half way suicidal, living half a life, finding his dead wife... And finding love in that afterlife...He calls his sister Persephone, it's really him! Helly/Helena is Hades. One of the gods, going among them in disguise.
So Mark, ends up in the passive "feminine" role. Getting pulled along by the people around him. Caught in these strange, gendered/class narratives—Treated as a vessel for other people’s plans. "pregnant” not physically but narratively. He's a child, a bride and a surrogate.
