#also i think theres more that we dont know about. personally

[heroictoonz]

So these are my tags on my old blog but since I was prompted and I like to talk

I personally headcanon (and have for a very long time) that the casual populace views and believes Shezow to be a goddess of some kind. The way I see it is that to keep secret identity secret every time a new Shezow comes along no one says it’s a new Shezow even if she looks a bit different Shezow is still Shezow and we all know it’s not a copy cat cause same powers to a T (more or less, I do also think as the line goes Shezows add more and more of themselves to the ring and pass on more to the next). So for a superhero to be alive for THAT LONG like having cave drawings about her found by archeologists there’s no way in hell shes just a super powered mortal

So people start to tag her as a goddess and it sticks. People view her as a walking deity here to help protect them on the streets. It’s why the term “oh my goddess” instead of “oh my god” became more popularized in this universe because they had a REAL and VISIBLE god among them (in their eyes) so she has a huge impact on the culture thats also why shes one of the more popular heroes because shes not a person to them shes basically idolized. She has comics, she has toys, she has full cons dedicated to her. We dont see that of other heroes she’s something else to the general public

I know theres plenty of stuff in canon that can debunk this hc but i like it i like to view the world building like this and flesh it out in fun ways for myself tbh lol

I love how She-Zow becomes like two feet shorter and nobody acknowledges it. A grown woman is suddenly a teenager and everyone’s like “yeah, that checks”

lucien and anselm

or why i dont think theyre the same person

specifically for @faretheeoscar and i figured @wilder-fangirl might be interested (also @iolaussharpe-24 id love to hear your take)

disclaimer

i dont think that people who have this theory are wrong or stupid or anything like that. im just saying this bc i know people are v protective of their blorbos and i get that but me putting my theory forward doesnt have to go against you having your own theory

you do you. this is just my interpretation 💛💛

also im not an expert on any of the stuff im about to talk about. im just a guy with access to the internet and a qualification in media studies and psychology (and overanalysing things)

also also i havent seen the entirety of bbg so im mainly going off anselms scene (and my quick scrub of the movie)

1: time periods & ages

so at the veeeeeery start of ticky tacky we see lucien being a silly horny boy

after checking, i can confirm that this is the playboy issue from april 1970

he uses a record player and seems to prefer more vintage-style interior design though this isnt entirely telling of the time period as, on his desk, he has what looks to be a voip phone so we might be able to place ticky tacky around 2008

as a rule, i tend to age characters (unless explicitly stated or if they seem de-aged/aged up) at the same age the actor was at the time of playing the role. oscar was about 35 playing lucien and i think he looks about that old. so 2008-35=1973. id have lucien being born around 1973

whereas (to me, at least) anselm seems a lot older than the 43 oscar was at the time. as stated in my nsfw a-z for anselm, i have him pegged at around 60

we see sams hospital room at the very start of bgb and this looks pretty modern to me so i wanna place the main plot around late 2010s to early 2020s? say 2018?

sam does use a tape recorder and a typewriter but i think these are a more stylistic choice and the time period of those two things dont match the apparent time period of the above hospital room

2018-60=1958. i see anselm being born around 1958

so anselm born in '58 and lucien born in '73

2: differences in character

anselm does this slutty pouty thing with his lips and i dont think i clocked lucien doing it

anselm is also like naturally flirtatious and sexual but i see lucien as more of a silly easily-excited emotional boy

ofc theres the issue of the accent which lucien doesnt have

lucien admits that hes never killed anyone before but anselm seems to have no qualms shooting his cousin for just being annoying

anselm has that horny old man energy™️

lucien takes care with his crime (lining the floor with plastic, using leather gloves as to not leave fingerprints on the pistol, etc) but anselm literally gives no fucks and goes in raw

ofc the injuries would still make sense if anselm was lucien but thats assuming that lucien literally has no sense of selfpreservation and just chooses to burn inside his study and then suddenly decides to crawl out which doesnt make sense to me

i made a hc for anselms injuries in my nsfw hcs; correct me if im wrong but we dont find out why anselm has his injuries. as thats the case, im just going to make a little hc for that too. i feel like he was probably involved in gas explosion (possibly when he was a kid). that would account for the burn scars, the one blind eye (from heat or flying glass), his crippled leg (from a structural collapse pinning the leg) and occasional breathing difficulties (from lung scarring due to prolonged smoke inhalation)

3: the cousins

this is the same man (tim rock) as the cousins of lucien and anselm respectively. i find it very odd that, if anselm was lucien, he would just so happen to have two cousins that look exactly the same. i mean ig they could be identical twins but like in that case why would you then go and gleefully work for the man who killed your brother?

4: conclusion

i have literally no beef with people who think anselm is just an older lucien but, to me, theyre two different people

besides why have one rich dilf when you could have two?

anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk

thinking about the physical toll being tortured by armand took on daniel's body, even if he doesnt remember it. the injuries, the blood loss, the pain, the bruises and scars he was probably never able to explain. even if he didnt remember what happened, that trauma was locked into his body, and its probably in part why his life fell apart the way it did over and over again. how can you heal from a trauma that you literally cant remember ever happening? no amount of therapy would unlock it, it was magically sealed away within him. and he couldnt tell anyone about louis biting him, let alone everything else that happened to him. that fear and anger and pain were locked away deep inside of him and hes just now realizing why his life has been the way it is. armand made him forget but the impact it had on him still exists today.

I can't get over that last scene from this episode. that long pause where sam was quietly grabbing a drink and you could barely hear celia talking to jack as she put him to bed in the other room. nothing was happening in that moment that needed to be recorded. no terrible events no big revelations. just sam and celia quietly going about their lives, sharing a domestic moment.

as something watched and listened. and we don't know why it's listening.

[arsenicflame]

since we all appear to be talking about izzy 'calling the police' on stede id like to offer my silly little two cents:

its not like the navy wasn't actively looking for him anyway??????

at most, izzys actions sped up badminton catching up with stede, but its made very clear that badminton wanted Stede dead well before this, and was willing to use whatever he could to find him- whos to say jackie wouldnt have cut a deal on her own? that any other pirate thats seen them being unsubtle in a port wouldn't take the opportunity to make a quick buck over a guy who is Nobody and holds no influence that could lead to any consequences for them?

in reality izzy is probably the only person who would receive negative repercussions to selling out stede, given his personal connection with ed- any other pirate would probably have gotten away unscathed, anonymous. they likely wouldnt have even been present like izzy was. izzy had personal stakes, anyone else would have taken the money and ran

the way i see it, with or without izzy the events of episode 10 probably would have happened in some degree, izzy just expedited the timeline

with my phantom hourglass replay, there are two things i noticed;

a possible theme you could glean from the game is action vs inaction, and i think it's especially prevalent before you even leave mercay the first time, with oshus frequently urging link to not go after the ghost ship, then to just wait until the broken bridge is fixed, and seems reluctant at every turn while link and ciela are more than eager to go and do something about this problem, and the people of mercay in general talking about things and their problems but never seeming to act on their fears or desires, as well as the mention that due to the ghost ship, very very few people are still sailing around, while linebeck is one of the only people we see in the game actively going after the ghost ship and still sailing around. i might make a longer post just talking more about the action vs inaction in phantom hourglass but i just noticed it a bit and thought it was a bit of an interesting sort of theme you could find in the game.

linebeck moves so fucking much. i think he moves more than any npc in the rest of the game. not just in his intro cutscene where he is very animated, just in how much he moves when just standing in his little idle post, it's damn near distracting when the camera is focused on him, he moves a lot. i don't think i've really acknowledged how much he moves, and it really gives the impression that he's antsy or eager to get going, both of which fit him pretty well with how he acts.

I have not posted any of my analysis to reddit yet and I think I might just post it and ghost it. I've already spent too much time looking at other people's threads on there to feel any way good about interacting with folks.

I already went in an added the "I know you're going to bring this up let me save you the time" section which is exclusively touching on the frequent topics of:

"well what about the fingerprint nostrum and finger mimics? He is clearly just a crackpot"

And

"it's definitely some weird elaborate sacrifice to Metyr thing"

have to work on a project today and an unrelated thing happened that just made me so so so so so mad (just some irl personal stuff), which normally derails my entire day because i find it so hard to come out of the angry/upset state and tend to just circle back and obsess over whatever triggered it but! today after 20 minutes of that i had a council meeting about it (<- what i call my decision making process) the outcome of which was putting it aside (!!!) for later when i could actually talk about it and resolve it (!!!) & in the meantime we could just do other stuff.

local man exuberant and jubilated to achieve feats of basic emotional self-regulation and was seen excitedly telling reporters he "never thought this day would come" and began giving a thank you speech to nobody in particular. more on this story as it develops

[bmpmp3]

it is insane to me how often people get so up in arms about "historical accuracy" when it comes to characters of colour in historical fiction and historical inspired fantasy LIKE i know why. i know why. its because of racism. BUT LIKE how is this not super interesting to you. how is a racialized character living in a largely historically ethnically homogeneous area not the most intriguing thing. dont you want to see their experiences as a minority and as an individual and how they navigate this all and how it affects their relationships with friends and foes? plus that usually puts them in an underdog position and dont you want to see an underdog make it? or is an underdog not worth rooting for the second their skin is too dark for you?? come on man

>Laughs Out Loud

I thought that piece was just about people focusing too hard on labelling Mizuki instead of letting them be themselves like they ask, not that it was transphobia ._ .

its ok to have ur own interpretation of that piece but its very clear to me that that wasnt ame's intention

who up seeing their disorder in a fictional character but feel like its not their place to put a name on it

[pagesofkenna]

Just said "sheesh, Kenna, you're the smartest person I know" out loud while reading your tags on the FMA Truth and Ed's atheism post. Then I realized that Indiana probably doesn't care as much for this information as you might lolol

honestly i'd originally written a really annoying ramble about gods in fiction under that post and now i'm so glad i deleted it to write that much more succinct breakdown of my thoughts on the matter
