The Flash Season 9 Episode 10 A New World Part 1

Barry

Yep definitely a time jump.

What the hell happened?

LMAO “what did I do this time?”

Detective Singh!! Wow two episodes in a row. BUT REALLY DAVID THAT HAIR?!

Joe looks stressed in the past

BARRY NO YOU CAN’T JUST WALK UP TO THEM

Oh shit!

LOL Bart

Weird thought but Barry needs running shoes, not those knockoff vans.

If he didn’t bring him there, how did they get there?

That’s not Joe, Barry!

Barry you’re the flash. How did you not dodge that?

Boy you are too big to hide behind some of those pillars

NO SINGH What happened to you!! Oh nothing happened.

Why did you pause Barry?

Where is he going now?

Chuck

Chuck you need to take lessons from Cisco in the costume design department.

Joe

I miss Joe.

This new house is nice.

Khione

Oh that was cool. How does she do that?

Miscellaneous

What the hell is this intro?

IT THAT EDDIE

I’m so confused.

Has there been a time jump?

Oh yeah!! It’s the episode about when he’s there the night his mom dies as an adult. The full circle episode.

What did past Joe pick up?

Oh. Yeah. What happened to Eddie? Why is he a doctor?

This isn’t Eddie. Who is this?

The Flash 9x10

Wait, two actually good episodes in a row? Is this really happening? And what did they do the shit that was the first eight episodes of Season 9 for, when they could have been doing this and last week the whole time? I mean, yeah, I get it. The Crossover and the last arc are the only “Flash”-Stories that were left, but that is no excused.

Even sadder is the fact that they never resolved the actual plot of Season 9, but just skipped it by jumping ahead in time to Iris’ due date. She never got closure for her storyline, nor did Cecile (or even - ugh - Khione), we just got slapped in the face with the fact that all their problems are solved now and they are happy. Which is again just bad writing. Sorry, but the show died with Crisis or at least the end of the Mirror Verse Arc since then it has been mainly bad writing and character assassinations. And of course sexism all over the place (here essentially again: Barry getc closure on-screen for his issues, but the women got it off-screen). And even this one, as glorious as it was, has a big gaping plot hole: If Barry wants to find Tina McGee all he has to do is ask the real Harrison Wells, who was still alive at this point and close friends with her. And who also might be Timeless Wells at this point as well, so no danger for the timeline there. But I guess, we just really have to accept that both Tom and writers lost all their interest in having him play anyone else but Eobard (even though Matt’s version is so much more fun at this point, which this episode did proof again).

Anyway, I am confident they will manage to fuck up “A New World”, because they have only four episodes, have not really introduced the villain in a big way so far and with next episodes Team Flash is back in action, which means it will get worse again. But at least this arc got of to a good start.

Recent-ish things ~

[rosalette-roxburgh]

Actually my biggest gripe with part 2 to far is that it renders all of the hi3 lore i knew prior useless to the current story. So what if theresa is in posession of a herrscher core. So what if klein is a 50000 year old elf made in the image of a dead insane woman’s best friend. So what if kevin kaslana’s trauma imprinted itself into his own genetic code and now all of his descendants have a predisposition to throwing themselves at death. So what if susannah and sushang are gay for each other. We’re on mars. They don’t know any of these people. No one cares

[shadowglens]

does anyone else feel like there’s little to no replayability for datv?

this shot of sawashiro is simply breathtaking to me!!!

like. seeing him crash and burn after hearing that his son has never trusted him, realizing that the chance he took by sending a tip geomijul didn't pay off, that the "miracle" he asked for is too late (just like he is). It truly is something to watch!!

to me, this really is the scene to show how incredibly miserable this asshole is and the cherry on top is how the way he sits is the exact same pose the corpse next to him has got.

[xx-alice-in-wonderland-xx]

GIVE ME A CHARACTER;

and I’ll break their ass down:

I will do The last of us characters, turning red characters, trolls characters, sonic characters, inside out characters, twilight characters, victorious characters, mean girls characters, Romeo and Juliet 1996, Charlie and the chocolate factory (2005 ONLY), Heartstopper, etc!!

[todayisafridaynight]

YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABT KIRYU HONESTLY

I’ve ranted to friends before abt how Kiryu is just genuinely so stupid that it comes of as dick-ish and inconsiderate to the people around him ESPECIALLY majima like?? He absolutely knows majima would walk through hell for Kiryu and takes full advantage of that in the worst ways and I don’t even think he fully realizes that that’s what he’s doing. Like please I love kazumaji as much as the next person but really only at a very specific point in time when they were both at their least fucked up gsgdfdf (kiwami 1 obv)

All is to say I agree please put the whole rgg fandom in an intro to literature class I think they’d greatly benefit gsgdf

kiryu is one of my favorite characters BECAUSE he's just so ass backwards. like On Paper he's a good guy: left the yakuza and is trying to live a normal life, has an orphanage and takes care of kids etc etc. but then you like. ACTUALLY look into him and its so funny.. he's such a dick and he doesn't even know and i love him. he just wants to do what he thinks is right and SOMETIMES he's right but his judgement also puts other people in peril (i.e. majima and daigo)

[brighterdaysarebeforeus]

I, apparently, get some validation in the form of likes and I go all gung-ho about writing stuff.

Anyway, Part 1 on Aladdin!AU punkflower.

Miles Morales…was bored.

He was sat next to his dad, at the head of the table, because for the past three months his father had decided that Miles was old enough to start listening in on the financials of their kingdom. Miles had been excited, at first, ready to help his kingdom and start thinking of ways to present himself as someone to be taken seriously; until he actually sat through four or five meetings and realized what they usually ended up being: a group of people, sitting around a table once a week, discussing what to do with money the kingdom barely had and how to generate more money for it, and all he was supposed to do was sit down and listen. Every so often his dad would interject, throwing out this idea or that one, and the table would devolved into a debate about how it would work.

The group consisted of Jeff Morales, the king, and Miles, the prince. Wilson Fisk, the royal advisor, was sitting on the left of his father, two seats down so that he was visible to both king and prince. Miguel O’Hara, the captain of the guards, was on Miles’s right, directly across from Wilson. They had their respective seconds next to them, Olivia for Wilson and Jessica (or Jess) for Miguel. The seat next to Jess was taken up by Pavitr Prabhakar, who was representing the Prabhakar family as a whole as the son of the earl; across from him was the Watson family representative, the countess Mary Jane (or MJ). On Pavitr’s other side was Peter Benjamin Parker, who usually went by Noir and theoretically wasn’t part of the meeting per say, but was sent to watch over Pavitr due to the teen being the Prabhakar’s only child. Rounding out the last of the people in the meeting were William Baker, and Adrian Toomes, both of whom were fairly new additions to the table, according to his dad.

The meeting today was sort of dragging on, and where he sat next to his dad meant that he was just out of reach of the sun, but there was still a lot of heat coming in through the window to make him sleepy. Combined with the late night he’d had the night before and the fact that while his clothes were elegant, they were thin and very comfortable meant that Miles was kind of ready to doze off and take a nap. He was slouched as much as he could be, staring blankly at Wilson as the man droned on and on about…taxes, he thought? Or the guards training. One of the two, Wilson always seemed weirdly focused on those two things. Miles had known the man for years, he’d held his position since before Miles had been born. Outside of the meetings he was usually fairly quiet, a startling trait for someone as big as Wilson was, and was good at somehow moving money around so that his dad could continue running the kingdom the way he needed to without worrying too much. He was smart, Miles could give him that, and definitely was the kind of man that had brute strength on his side; he made Miguel look tiny in comparison, and Miguel was also a fairly big guy, so…

His dad rapped his knuckles on the arm rest, making Miles sit up straighter and blink rapidly to cover the fact that he was zoning out a bit. From a bit further down, Pavitr leaned onto his palms, covering his mouth in a way that made him look like he was deeply invested in what Wilson was saying; Miles could tell was just to hide the grin on his face from Miles getting caught out.

Miles couldn’t even glare back at him, not from his position at the head of the table, and especially not with his dad right next to him, nodding sharply at whatever Miguel started with next. Captain of the guard and all, it was definitely about the guards this time and Miles sort of wanted to slam his head into the back of his chair.

He wouldn’t mind it so much if he could actually participate; hell, Pavitr could throw in ideas and join the debates going around the table, and so could Mary Jane, and even his dad could jump in when he wanted, but Miles couldn’t say anything. The first time he offered an idea, four meetings in, the entire table save for Pavitr and his dad laughed at him and when he tried to defend his idea, his dad shut it down.

Afterwards, his dad had told him “listen, son, I know you want to help, but you need to learn what’s going on in the kingdom before you can start participating in running it.”

So here he was. Learning, though Miles thought that the meetings always ended up going round in circles without ever changing anything. Clearly nothing was working, because these meetings were held every week without fail and sometimes it felt like the same four ideas thrown around all the time: open the kingdom gates more often for travelers, raise taxes, raise rents, funnel less money into the upkeep of the kingdom. Nothing about the actual people in the kingdom, how this affects their day to day living, and at the end of the meeting nothing is decided. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Until…

“The prince is fifteen now, right? What if Miles marries?” The sound of his name jolted him into attention, and Miles’s eyes locked onto Wilson’s as the man looked him over. “We can start searching for eligible candidates, maybe have him married by this time next year.”

Wait.

“What does Miles getting married have to do with the kingdom’s financials?” Pavitr asked. His eyes were narrowed at Wilson, though he was approximately the same size as Miles so it kind of looked like a month old puppy glaring down a husky. Still, he seemed to be the only one who wasn’t seriously considering it; even Mary Jane was looking thoughtful, hands crossed in front of her mouth delicately.

“Look at it this way,” Miguel told Pavitr, whose gaze didn’t shift even though Wilson wasn’t talking anymore. “If Miles marries, especially someone from a neighboring kingdom, then we can start working towards helping the population here. New food, new traffic, money coming into the kingdom instead of out of it.”

“He’s only fifteen.” Mary Jane said musingly, drawing attention to her while she looked to the king, “Doesn’t he have to wait until he’s matured enough to make decisions like that on his own, according to the law?”

“Hey, I can make decisions like that on my own!” Miles interjected, and Pavitr shot him a look that read shut up, shut up now, stop talking. Miles gulped, especially when all the eyes turned to him. “I-I mean, like, in the right — ”

“He is too young to start looking at marriage.” His dad said, and Miles breathed a quiet sigh of relief. Nobody liked to go against the king, so if his dad thought he was too young —

“I understand that his age is an issue,” Wilson said, “but the marriage wouldn’t necessarily have to happen right away in order to be beneficial to the kingdom.” Jeff leaned forward, and Miles felt his heart sink. It was basically a sign saying ‘continue’, and that meant his father had gone from being against the idea to seriously considering it now. Wilson knew this, too; a small smirk tilted his mouth. “We can set up an arrangement with a neighboring kingdom, have a long engagement, and marry them when they’re of age. Gives them plenty of time to get to know each other, all that stuff.”

“I don’t want to get married, though!” Miles said, and he was ignored as his dad leaned back in his chair. He looked thoughtful, which spelled bad things for Miles, he could tell.

And then, sure enough, his dad ran his hand over his face, shifting his glasses just slightly, and said “let me talk it over with his mother.”

Sometimes I think about how the natural energies might not have been as clean cutting as we're lead to believe, and how Yuuya and Yuzu might not be the only split-soul existences, entirely because of a blast radius that neither Ray nor Leo knew about if the En cards ever went off.

[vamp-luvr999]

For someone who’s claims to “love me”, he is very fucking distant. And it’s irritating me.

He’ll talk to her and totally ignore me. I wonder sometimes, if he’s cheating or just an asshole.

Maybe I should break up with him again bruv. Hate this man and his distance. If I weren’t obsessed, then I’d been discarded his ass ☝️😟
