Scooby Doo Mystery Inc, an Introspective.

Daphne - The Spy

She's already been established as being the most physically inclined, a great beauty, and handilly going behind enemy lines (ie getting kidnapped); all traits of a femme fatale. in my canon, daphne really operates as the gang's Body (Wo)Man. In a crime ring she would be The Muscle. I really like the idea that Daphne is classically trained at a young age in all sports; her family may not have be as weslthy as Shaggys but theyve def made some money being world class athletes. This idea also lends itself to the idea that daph was the most well travelled before meeting Mystery Inc, her family always loved to bring her to their competitions, shes been to every Wimbledon cup, etc. While daph is well cultured and great at meeting new people, i do not think she would describe herself as an extrovert altho u cant deny shes warm and welcoming (as much as anyone in the gang is! theyre really a great group of kids). Growing up with a lot of sisters, Daphne is the one most acclimated to team work (maybe they did a lot of team sports growing up?). The reason this doesnt automatically translate to out of this world people skills is because her ability to work with others is strongly rooted in being familiar with her team. She grew up with her sisters and has been friends with Mystery Inc for a long time too; shes built up a repartee with her group and really relies on her understanding of them and their understanding of her to be as efficient as she is. In this way, she and Scooby really hold the group together. Definitely a Actions Speak Louder Than Words type which is why people who dont know her well are so willing to overlook her as a vapid prettygirl; ie when daph spots a clue shes more likely to "wow look at that!" and point rather than "hey velma that glowing orb looks really similar to the one the ghost is always haulin around" Daph and Kim Possible would be truly the unstoppable duo.

disguises, stealth, and sleight of hand ??

polyglot, also designated translator

well connected (but cant network). her sisters got their fingers in all the pies and the Blake Sisters were Daphne's first Mystery Inc :) i do not buy into Daphne having a sister complex #speakingmytruth

very well travelled, met fred on a layover?

literally james bond, ya feel?

tldr; woman of the world, woman of the world, teamplayer

Fred - The Mechanic

Breaking off of the 'Traps Guy' prototype that Mystery Incorporated set up for us; Fred has always been the one at the steering wheel. Everyone loves a Himbo Fred moment but i know hes capable of great specialization just like velma daph shaggy and scoob are. Hes not an air head hes just thinking about a V8 engine vs a Turbo ykno? I do want to lean into the idea that Fred works with his hands and works with contraptions (velma is the gizmo girl tho) and works with CARS and is knowledgeable about them! very, Mona Lisa from My Cousin Vinny/Rosalie from Twilight (ie gets under their car + is hot) but because i want all these kids to be multi faceted, id like to explore the other half of cars which is Travelling. in this day in age, seeing the world is so marketable which is why i can see fred being the one with biggest internet influence. More so than that, fred keeps the team on the move, books accomodations, plans the roadtrips, has the biggest thirst to see the world (maybe thats one of the things that first pulls him and daph together, shes already seen so much of it before they met) Out of the group, i think Fred has the closest relationship with his parents (i think this was shown in some of the tv shows? If not, this is my canon) Fred, despite loving to work with cold hard metal, is maybe the most deeply feeling of Mystery Inc. he really jumps on cases after meeting the people who are most severely impacted by them. This would also explain why hes so inclined to 'himbo moments', he doesnt mind making the less rational choice if it means he can help his fellow man. He and scooby are def the most socially inclined; fred bc he really cares about People (thats why hes a traveller, meeting new people is one of the fun parts!)

automotives, maintains the car (velma helped him set up his sound system) and loves a good car chase

also into planes, trains, and ships but cars are his first love

inventions

explosives

physics, hes a car guy but bikes are fascinating

social media savvy (hes so chipper and always dressed to the 9s courtesy of daph, IG eats him up). Maybe he started the Mystery Inc blog as a way to keep his family updated about what hes doing (the first People he loved was def his family) he gossips about celebrities with velma and daph

loves travelling (in his car) and posts to his gram (see above), his experience with hotels/motels/hostels/etc lets him talk extensively about hospitality with shaggy + scooby

tldr; auto shops, social butterfly, humanitarian

Shaggy - The Doctor

Hear me out!!!! Norville Rogers is known to be: Concerned about his bodily safety and RICH! Tell me which profession that is besides Doctor and ill rework this whole thing. i think this really works for shaggy, hes by no means materialistic but mans has grown up with the silver spoon and can really appreciate luxurious creature comforts like quality bed linens. Like. that plain green t shirt is Hermés dont get it twisted. this also works bc as the groups highroller, we now know how this op is funded (aside from being paid for their detective work:freds blog but like..we really didnt see that often. id like them to be able to do this as a fulltime hobby if they so choose) Aside from this, we know some of Shaggys other great loves are Food and Not Being Physically in Danger. I wouldnt be surprised if one of his parents or older relatives made their money in medicine, allowing shaggy to grow up in that scape. omg id love if this doctor relative was a mentor to shaggy but also a bit of a hypochondriac; maybe shaggys scaredy cat tendencies have roots in his relative's anxieties. I think Shaggys fear comes from a good place, he just wants him and his friends to be healthy happy and whole. In line with medicine, Shaggy is the one who pushes the team to take care of themselves and take much needed time to recuperate from the stress of solving mysteries. As an only child, he can be seen as a foil to Daphne. She has a lot of sisters and did a lot of team sports and became very comfortable working with others. Shaggy was an only child whos only friend was his dog and they prefer to stay in their circles of safety. But both shaggy and daphne have about the same level of social skills lol i think also, bc shaggy grew up without a lot of friends, he is the most conscious of his friendships with the gang. like, he really doesnt take them for granted bc for a long time he did not have any friends at all

selfcare

Mystery Inc's checkbook (when appropriate)

appreciation for the finer things

healthcare

medicine, biology. daphne's go to gym buddy (shaggy really knows kinesiology)

chemistry aka alchemy, imagine the happy medium between Scoobie's love of cuisine and fred's love of ..bombs

tldr; self care KING, truly looks out for *his* people. medic

Velma - The Professor

Velma velma velma. im kind of dropping the ball with her. i want to develop this a lil further bc i think im leaning too hard on the crutch that is Velma Is The Bookworm. Altho i do think Velma is more interested in the Humanities Vs STEM fields, id say her genius reputation is cultivated from how well rounded her knowledge base is. In terms of academics, Velma is the jack of all trades ( opposite to daphne who is JoaT for athletics). Because of this (and because shes great at all things she puts her mind to) shes is also left with the helm of 'resident hacker'. As im typing this, truly the girls of the gang have very broad interests while the boys are very specialized. Anyways, id say the key to Velma is that shes very good at making more from the sum of the parts. She does not shy away from the grunt work of academia, she knows some Important Things will not be intuitive to her but she will run flashcards on them until theyre reflexive bc she knows having that info on hand will be important at some point. Her ability to take the factoids of life and put them together also makes her the teams True detective, not fred. It just makes more sense imo that Velma is the one to push the team to find and close cases. Obviously everyone in Mystery Incorporated has strong convictions on Right and Wrong but i think Velma sees the beauty and satisfaction of solving puzzles.

Edit on 1 mar: may think of switching role of Gizmo from Velma to Daphne since canonically, Daph is always with her cellie. But instead of making her the vapid airhead glued to her phone shes j really into tech (think felicity from Arrow)

Loves trivia

history, talks a lot about international cuisine with daph + scoob

software > hardware, talks gadgets with daph + fred

She and fred share a thirst to see and explore new things

statistician and mathematics aficionado

forensic sciences

law

very up to date with popular culture, from the anthropologic perspective. watches the most reality tv, tv in general, and movies; its interesting, documentaries are informative, and she likes to keep it on as white noise while researching

business, finance, and economics. thats how she knows all the business bad guys on sight (during the reveal), she also handles the group finances with shaggy

tldr; lifelong academic, the most hardworking, curious

Scooby - The Chef

Scooby! The team mascot! Firstly, scoob is Shaggys *best* friend. It makes sense to me that their interests overlap so much. Scooby has always been known to be a big eater (he *is* a great dane...) but my mans is CULTURED. He eats a lot but its never slop. Given Shaggys keen awareness of health and wellness, im not surprised that scooby has combo-ed that influence with his own love of the culinary arts. Shaggy and scooby have definitely known each other the longest; so how ever old the gang were when they met, in my canon Shaggy and Scooby were the first to become friends and it shows. But obviously theyre all friends, and to the group id say scooby is the hearth (not heart) of the operation as any great relationship starts with a plate of good food. Quiet moments of deep inner contemplation will often happen at Scoobys side and scooby, consciously or not, really provides a place for everyone to be themselves in the same way having to dice 5 onions is meditative. We've seen that scooby is a golden hearted goof ball, i think this could be sourced from a highly admirable sense of humility (ironic since hes the only non human of the group?) Great danes are known to be fierce protectors, and even tho (like shaggy) scoob is a scaredy cat, when push comes to shove he is really protective. Thats why hes so cautious! He really doesnt like seeing his friends in risky situations! My hot take is that *Scooby* is the people person/social butterfly of the group! This whole cast is a band of mis fits, having a dog makes Mystery Inc much more approachable to outsiders. Scooby, being a dog, is great at warming hearts to him and loves to be at the center of attention. In regards to mystery solving, hes also invaluable as a clue finder since his senses are so highly developed.

super sniffer, works the most directly with velma on cases

cooking (bonds with shaggy + daphne over but for dif reasons)

people person, gets along real well with daphne's sisters (everyone loves dogs)

very much looks after the gang and motherhens them, hates seeing them walk into danger

zoology (obvious i know)

tldr; iron chef, spokesman of mystery inc

General Notes

Shaggy and Daphne are the two in the gang who are really Of The Body (shaggys understanding of its inner workings, Daphne being the peak form of a human specimen), while Fred and Velma are Of The Mind (Fred who works with calculations inventions etc and Velma who is a lifelong all rounder academic)

Another dichotomy is that Daphne and Fred are the pragmatic pair while Shaggy and Velma are the theoretic pair

But in general i think a lot of the team has a lot of interests that overlap which keeps them tightly bonded

[shinraapologist]

Hey there~

I was wondering if you had any HC's regarding what a shincelty wedding may look like? What kind of decorations, flowers or music they might choose or what the dresscode may be?

I DO!!!! i think they would have a very small wedding, but almost everybody they care about is there. i think a wedding for them would come a few years post canon after all the dust of the final arc has settled and everyone involved has at the very least started healing from some of what went down. (none of these characters are ever going to like.... actually fully heal. lmao to the very idea. ) i like to hc that shinra wants to cut contact with shingen but cant figure out how to unentwine himself from his father and also is just overall too afraid to actually do it, altho we do see him slowly stand up to him more thruout the canon, so id like to think that he continues to work on that. either way, his dad is at the wedding, because theres no way in hell he realistically could be kept out of it. part of shizuos best man duties are shingen wrangling. he does a terrible job. i do like to think shinra has a relationship with kazane, i think she would be happy to be welcomed into his weird world and is thrilled by how similar they are. id like to think they get pretty close. so she's there also. ive been thinking since i got this ask about whether i think shizuo and izaya could be in the same room with each other post canon and eventually i came to the conclusion that realistically... shizuos not the only person in attendance that would have some issues with izaya at that point, and frankly im not sure izaya would want to be in ikebukuro or near anyone at all. not for a long time at least. i do think shinra and izaya would stay in contact, though- i do think izaya knows about the wedding and initially made some kind of joke at shinra and celtys expense, but deep down hes not sure if hes happy for his friend, bitterly jealous, amused by the concept of something nonhuman getting married, or any other combination of feelings.

the fact that its small does NOT mean shinra didnt drop a fortune on it, though. this is a no expenses spared event. as for decorations i think they lean hard into the black and white. also.. if we want to say cannon started in 2002, this is probably, like. 2013. its tacky. its ugly. its so disgustingly shinra and celty. honestly, i think shinra would have more opinions than celty during wedding planning (which is not helping the tacky thing). theres one thing celty puts her foot down on- she doesnt want to wear a white dress, she wants to make a dress from her regular shadow clothes. shinra whines about that for a split second before he decides that means HE can wear white and then proceeds to get a lab coat/suit jacket monstrosity made which becomes his lifelong go-to formal wear. celty would make her dress something extremely dramatic, like this. after he sees her in her dress shinra feels like an idiot for ever thinking he wanted her to wear white because shes so beautiful and so her in it. they dont give their guests a strict dress code but everyone shows up in the nicest outfit they have.

for flowers, they go all white, but they dont choose typical wedding flowers. i think they would be drawn to things like this:

for music, i think they would play a mix of old love songs and cheesy 90s music they loved as teens. there would be SO much dancing. none of them dance well.

Your thoughts on megules? 🙈❤️

megara tops, sorry but i don't make the rules. hercules is not even her power bottom. he's just her bottom. "meg please break my arm" -- original quote from hercules to megara on their wedding night, 700 BC

no, but all kidding aside, I love megules actually. I think they're my favorite canon disney couple. and it actually says a lot for me, personally, that they are a disney canon straight ship that i enjoy,  lmao  (altho i think the big ‘meg tops pure himbo’ energy of them has a lot to do with it).  but they do have a lot of chemistry that i dont get often from most disney couples, at least in the romantic sense. 

a couple of key points in why i love them under the cut!

i love that hercules is constantly in awe of meg. he’s maybe a little intimidated, definitely a little turned on, but regardless -- he’s always in awe, and he treats her like the goddess she truly deserves to be treated as. he never presumes about her; only worships her as an amazing woman. in many other instances megara would probably be looked down upon for owning her sexuality and being in control of it, unfortunately, but hercules is just hearts in eyes.jpeg always, and like tbh #same. also, regardless of how much he’s attracted to her, he always respects her personal space, which is absolutely not something anyone else does in the film. when in doubt, you see that he especially is very mindful to keep his distance (when he runs away in the garden scene after their date and she’s moving closer to him, basically getting undressed) i think he’s the only man her ~seduction~ has not worked on, at least in the way she expects it to (she tries, hard, to get information out of him in exchange for sex during the garden scene, and she’s fully expecting him to submit to her advances and probably give into sex with her, like most men in that situation have traditionally done), and this really surprises her. 

“did u just fuckin. fix my dress strap instead of fucking me? this is weirdly both an inconvenience and a massive turn on for me” -- meg, 703 BC

anyway, this isn’t to say hercules deserves a trophy for being, idk, a decent human being who understands women are people with boundaries that you should be careful about crossing, but it’s one of the reasons i do really like them, and find them cute together. 

i also think he’s such a foil for her. he’s naive, soft hearted, idealistic, optimistic. she’s cynical, snarky, jaded. they’ve both also dealt with bullying in their pasts, altho hercules had the fortune of loving parents. in any case, meg thinks his innocence is very endearing. he’s also definitely much younger than she is, and i think megules is one of the only, if not THE only, canon main disney couple in which the woman is obviously older than the man. i find that to also be really intriguing and cute about them!

hercules has a good heart, but he is also not really altruistic. he doesn’t have an attachment to the general public, which is good, because if he did, that’s not something meg really relates to.  she actually appreciates this a lot about him. hercules is a hero, but he’s trying to be a hero for his own gain, and he’s never really hid this. he’s trying to get back to his family. he’s not operating out of a sense of duty to the public. ultimately, he’s trying to fit in, trying to belong. megara is doing the same thing, via different means, but they’re two sides of the same coin in that sense. they’re both self preserving. neither one of them is really claiming to be acting because they’re “good people,” they’re just trying to survive and be happy, and for that i find them both very human. meg, like hercules, has also never fit in or felt at home with anyone. because of this, they really mesh well together.

i also like that their romance has a build up and that we see them even go on a date before falling in love. he’s of course initially attracted to her, but i don’t think she is to him, besides finding him cute, and i find that very realistic. she warms up a lot to him after getting to know him. you do get a sense of genuine chemistry between them that lies beyond “these two argue a lot lol and then they have a relationship!!! couples bicker bc they have sexual tension xoxo” their relationship has stakes, too, and a slow burn, at least in terms of the disney universe. i actually find the arguing/teasing trope to be quite tired, and there’s thankfully none of that between them. hercules never tries to tease meg; he’s certainly not the witty one in the relationship, and he knows it. she gets all of the jabs and he’s just happy to be along for the ride. 

also, they both are willing to lay down their lives for the other one, and they both gain their story arc’s resolution through their sacrificial love for the other. it’s very equal in that way!

basically, i just really like them. i think that megara genuinely adores him. he centers her, he makes her feel safe, at home, respected, appreciated, and like the most beautiful lady in the history of ladies. hercules even calls her more beautiful than aphrodite, which, to meg, who was left previously FOR aphrodite  --  well, it’s what she deserves in a partner, u know.

tl;dr i really enjoy hercules and megara and find them to be a really cute canon disney couple thanks for letting me ramble abt them

[seoafin]

BYE I WAS IMMERSED WITH GENSHIN’s STORY PLOT (AND THE FANARTS ON MY TL) WHICH WAS ALSO DROPPED EARLIER THIS MORNING AND FORGOT ABT JJK FOR A SPLIT SEVONDSJJSJEJ

but anyways ,, jjk 145// the more i write abt it, the more i’ll sound incoherent, this is ur last warning to ignore this 🧍‍♂️(1)

the one who is based on avalokitesvara (i’ll start calling it them as kannon from now) that i mentioned was actually brain (out of ppl) 😭😭

kenjaku (羂索) is shorten from "不空羂索観音 (fukukenjakukannon)" ,, they existed b4 the heian period... older then sukuna ?? suggested that brain is at least 1k years old... hsjsjjsjs

fukukenjakukannon, a manifestation of the buddhist god of mercy and compassion,, perhaps of some interest is that the fukukenjaku shares some kanji with gojou's infinite void followed by kanjis for trap & rope, with kannon directly referring to an all-knowing/overseeing divine existence. it rly does seem that kenjaku, tengen, and gojou's fates have all been strongly interwined throughout history,, kannon has been perceived as both male and female depending on the portrayal and the region, not unlike jjk's kenjaku switching bodies and genders over the course of time (kamo vs kaori vs getou)

some associations with kannon may be relevant to jjk. namely, as yuki mentions, salvation ,, kannon is a deity to serve his subjects, and resolve their suffering by eliminating its source,,, in which case, i think kenjaku's goal may possibly not be too far off from geto’s ,,,,, he may think that he is saving a group that is enduring greater suffering than any other. whether that is shamans, cursed spirits, or sth else entirely is up for debate. given his persistence over the millenia, and the likelihood of spreading suffering worldwide through a universal tengen merger, it's more than likely that he has a very personal motive. note that under his plan it is specifically the evil of a human that would spread and destroy all of humankind connected through tengen

this is an interesting contrast to sukuna, who is much more whimsical and far less calculated. i think the clash between these 2 in the past will have strong relevance for the future,,, on the other hand, since kannon has historically manifested in response to the suffering of various beings, it may be that the feelings of cursed spirits as a whole have led to kenjaku's existence. he could very well be a curse born from curses, instead of from humans.

okay now what i'm really excited abt: the relationship between kenjaku and the 6 eyes. 1 of the functions of kannon is to protect the 6 realms of rebirth/the 6 paths. u may already be familiar with this buddhist concept as it has been referenced in a variety of animanga (notably it is a major plot point of naruto, it's mukuro's ability in KHR, etc.). there's strong reason to believe this concept also has connections to the gojou 6 eyes ability. i think if we get to learn more abt the 6 eyes, i may be able to speak more on this point.

(as a side note here, i’ll mention that there’s an association between kannon and the protection of aborted children, perhaps relating to og kamo and the death paintings)

at the very least, we know that kenjaku and the 6 eyes are in opposition, and i'm speculating that the gojou bloodline is the true manifestation of a protective deity, at least for the humans, and kenjaku's goals are antithetical to that,,, perhaps, as yuki kind of suggested, taking the name kenjaku is a joke of sorts. if sukuna is malevolence incarnate, kenjaku is mercilesness,,

i think some of the core concepts being explored by the tengen storyline are that of form and existence. gojou satoru, tengen, kenjaku, and eventually the star plasma vessels are existences that transcend the norm,,, toji on the other hand, is the only example of the opposite. an existence that shouldn't have ever existed, in a sense. kenjaku seemed to have used that to his advantage in his manipulation of the events in hidden inventory,,, but it also leads me to believe that only a similar anomaly could undo the new destiny he's setting up for himself.

geto was the perfect piece to set kenjaku up for success in conducting a merger and putting this culling game into motion. geto's path has led to this outcome,,, in which case, an apt parallel as we have known all along is that gojou's path should lead to the counter-outcome: megumi, yuuta, and especially yuuji— these 3 will be the key to unravelling kenjaku's plan.

also tengen said that kenjaku’s objective is to send all the ppl in jpn to higan or turning all non shamans into one but he doesnt have enough cursed energy to do that,,, i did say that yuuji’s birthday took place in the 4th solar term where a part of a week long celebration haru no higan (higan 彼岸→other shore, buddhist pārāmitā), when ppl would honour the dead and sweep ancestral tombs took place,,,

so theres this buddhist mantra, called the “heart sutra” and the last verse of the sutra is,,

there are many sutras in buddhism, but the most well-known among them is probably the Heart Sutra,, altho it depends on the sect (of buddhism), the heart sutra is often read at funerals and memorial services, so even if,, and for some reason the sutra is often associated to kannon even in the utube thumbnail 👁👁 if u search up prajnaparamita sutra,,

heart sutra has the meaning of "an important teaching to reach the state of enlightenment by the power to see through the truth and essence." which is based on the idea of ​​"void" as this important teaching,, the sutra tells us what we shld do to be free from the suffering of this world and live in peace,, in the heart sutra, the idea of ​​"void" is especially important.

buddhism can be broadly divided into theravada and mahayana buddhism,,,,

theravada is a teaching that only some ppl (those who practice buddhism with strict lifestyle like the monks) reach the state of enlightenment, while mahayana is a teaching that all ppl (some who practice Buddhism) can reach enlightment even if u dont practice anything related to the religion,,, the idea of ​​the void has the idea of ​​not being caught up in individual things and not being obsessed with it, and the idea of ​​heart sutra belongs to the category of mahayana buddhism

"void" does not mean "empty" but "no substance (no fixed shape)". the sutra also states that "everything keeps changing" and "although it keeps changing, the essence (core) of things remains the same."

for eg, the idea is, "i am me, no matter how old i am,, my appearance and various abilities deteriorate, how I am evaluated by others, whether i feel good or bad."

in other words,,, it’s a teaching to be aware of the essence without being caught up in the phenomenon of change.

"void" means "no substance (no fixed shape)", which means that u don't have to be obsessed with things or get caught up in one value.

eg, the reason why diamonds are beautiful is that diamonds arent beautiful from the beginning, but that humans decide that they’re beautiful,,, and that each person has a fixed evaluation of the movement of their hearts that they feel is beautiful. but thats not always the case right?

the last verse goes like this :

“Therefore, Prajna Paramita is known as the most divine mantra,

the great enlightening mantra,

the utmost mantra,

the incomparable mantra,

destroyer of all suffering!

Since what is true is not in vain, listen to the mantra of the Prajna Paramita– it goes like this:

GATE GATE PARA GATE PARASAM GATE BODHI SVAHA!”

the translation of the last line is: “going, going, going on beyond, always going on beyond, always becoming buddha.”

quoted from a web here : “it suggests movement toward awakening. It expresses the enlightenment of a buddha as an unfolding process, rather than a steady state. It puts us in the hopeful position of one who may not have arrived, but who may be on the way. The destination may not be an end, but the journey itself.

As appealing as this translation is, it is by no means the only one. When you do an Internet search for the terms “Heart Sutra” or “Prajna Paramita” you get numerous references. At these various pages you will find several different translations of the mantra. These include:

* Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone altogether beyond. Oh what an awakening! All hail!

* Gone, gone, gone beyond altogether beyond, Awakening, fulfilled!

* Gone, gone, gone to the Other Shore, attained the Other Shore having never left.

* Gone, gone, totally gone, totally completely gone, enlightened, so be it.

* “Oh, you have done! You have done! You have completely crossed the margin. This is Enlightenment! Congratulations!” “

the irony though of toji dying thinking that he should've stuck his principles but actually having ridiculous impact on the world,, this also puts a new spin on the "look upon the flesh of one who is free" (afaik it was left untranslated on his cover page when he invade dagon’s domain) and the implication is imo,,, the more cursed energy, the more restrictions and so in a way humanity goes into a devolution the more cursed energy there is because they will be bound even more tightly to the cycle than before,, which is the irony of the kenjaku & bodhisattva linkage

toji had a heavenly restriction and has zero cursed energy, which is an anomaly that is his own, which makes me wonder what he would've been like if he had an expressed technique,,, but it's the zero cursed energy part, that uniqueness, that makes him powerful in canon

im rly curious how having cursed power automatically seems to lock u into a binding,,, which is seemingly fate. the shaman world rly operates entirely on rules,, where this is because of tengen's barriers or the origin of techniques being more commonplace im not sure

i used to think CTs came abt when individual sorcerers made pacts with supernatural beings etc but now im not sure,, despite leaning hard on shinto and buddhist frameworks there isnt much overt indication over what is and is not a real power in canon,,, like we have mahoraga but are bodhisattvas assumed to be real and exist? or as figures of belief, are they and other figures of shinto mythology, all just cursed spirits in the end?

but that tengen is linked with the proliferation of 6 eyes and star plasma vessel, makes me start wondering how and why tengen started this whole barrier thing,, like yes jpn has a ton of cursed spirits but was it before or after the barrier i can't remember now

maybe Kenjaku was messing around too much back then,, i like how sukuna also maybe had very lil to do with this and is possibly going to interfere as a wild card once more. is the idea to use him as a hail mary so u convey more ppl to the other side all at once? unless kenjaku thinks sukuna is the person who got closest to the next evolution of humankind and is actually a fan 🥴

but yeah if sukuna and megumi can remake the world together can they just hit the reset button so tengen isn't somehow this massive jungian collective unconscious? is sukuna going to accidentally save the world lol,,, i didn't care for fate themes before since it felt like akutami hadn't wholly committed to it as a theme,,, but fate and collective responsibility/influence on the individual just became a much bigger theme

also the mind/body/soul thing with tengen,,, when is that idea coming back

so tengen and sukuna are so far the only ppl who have said to have evolved into curses, whereas kenjaku still seems to be a shaman, as well as angel. what catalyzes that??

also how tf are the cursed weapons made i have questions,, just putting it out here but i actually thought that if toji, presumably, didnt rebel and defected from the clan,,, what are the chances of zenin thinking of turning him into a cursed weapon lol

,,, does being a cursed spirit mean u are bound even more tightly to fate? or do u escape because u are no longer a human bound by ur technique and u are instead just energy that keeps cycling over and over.....cursed energy rly just karma with strength mechanics???

why did gojou get rid of the black rope only for yuuta go to find more??? seems contradictory,, like...did he exorcise sth in that couple years gap?? or were there other reasons? or is HE the one scared since he also hid the inverted spear of heaven,,, makes me wonder how common knowledge all these mechanics actually are

trying to wrap my head around potential megumi learned helplessness or not being able to work through his own problems, or if it's this weird backward wishing that he didn't HAVE to deal with problems if he didn't HAVE to do these things and there were simple solutions,,, like i don't think he's exactly lazy bc he seems to do a lot of work behind the scenes, but there's a certain stasis to him, a wishing not to know. i wonder if he was ever given the "u are a child and I'm the adult" speech nanami gave yuuji

nanami, qifrey and maybe reigen are the adult/ mentor figures i wish was/ is in my life orz

i think it's kind of funny how 145 is like suddenly christianity! this manga is just abt the many ways people seek freedom and want to be delivered,,,

but im not going to talk abt it 😔 — i only have lil to no knowledge abt it other than the lil trivias my friends dropped time to time whenever we’re having a discourse abt religion suddenly lmao and im not a big fan of talking abt things idk abt bc i’ll just look stupid otherwise LMAO

its interesting to note that christian have this uh for a lack of better way to describe it, higher power which can grant u eternal salvation or damnation while buddhism is just fending for urself in pursuit of enlightment ,,, while buddhism also have beings like devas/ deities it just means that 1) if ur born as one, u must have done a good deed sometime in one of ur previous lives,, 2) u just have a ridiculous long life span but yes u’ll eventually die again and rebirth as sth depending on ur actions,,, that goes for living in gods, demi-gods, humans, animals, hungry ghosts or hells realms

this is completely unrelated but,, my mother used to blast the heart sutra frequently in my house back then and the only thing i catch is the “gate gate parasamgate bodhi svaha” which i used ,, whenever i see sth..that is supposed to be unseen

theres this time i stayed behind in cram school for an exam,, i purposely took a another path from my usual one to clear my head (but im still familiar) and i saw this guy standing on the side road and the only thing that went thru my mind back them was “why is he not moving? is he waiting for someone? is he lost or sth,, the main road is just 6 foot away tho lol”

it was until i keep looking at each house that i finally notice that the spot he stood on is not even a ground lvl asphalt,, it’s a fucking sewer which means that he’s actually floating 😭😭 i just jogged and say sth along the line “wow today, ma is cooking hotpot for dinner (i actually have no idea what she plans to cook everyday) i dont want to eat it cold,, so i better hurry up” out loud while chanting the verse in my head

theres also this time me and a friend were sitting on my motorcycle after getting our late night food run until a particular smell and when we stay silent, a woman is singing on the branch right above us that we dipped right away and i almost catch a ticket for speeding all the while thinking abt that verse💀

i dont mind seeing one of “them” but i do have a problem with them following me back home and end up haunting my house for some period of time,, that one or sth ghost who slam things around and giggle in the middle of the night is enough for me to deal with 😀

now im off crying abt genshin (again) now and i’ll go back to sleep afterwards,,, ALSO I LOVE WITCH HATE ATALIERJSJEJEJ- 🐱 (2)

you literally brought up THE SAME EXACT QUESTIONS I HAVE!!! like why would gojo send yuuta to find more of the rope if he destroyed it in the first place?? unless he destroyed it in the heat of the battle with miguel during the prequel but it didn’t look like that. also i saw on twitter kenjaku might not even be a male?? apparently when referring to kenjaku, tengen didn’t use gendered pronouns. im also super curious as to how the six eyes, star plasma vessel (riko...), tengen, and kenjaku are all entwined because kenjaku’s plan was a long time coming, even though he was foiled two times already.

this reminds me of the heavenly restrictions because im still so confused about what exactly it is!! is it something a person is born with or is it something that is placed on a baby by another person??

you brought up fate too and i think that’s such an interesting concept like with akutami making more and more references to the heian era and the “golden age of sorcery” in the end I feel like everything led up to this moment. the existence of cursed energy too just feels like this “endless cycle of fate” which makes sense considering this theme also kinda aligns with yuuji’s birth which was pre planned. idk...this whole thing is suddenly feeling so much more insidious than we may have originally thought.

the sudden christianity mention is a pretty odd choice on akutami’s part but a lot of ppl (including me) are speculating that hana is going to be a harbinger of doom or something. once again is she even japanese?? the western concept of angels have never been particularly altruistic either.

unfortunately gojo has always been treating megumi like an adult so i don’t think he was ever given the “you are a child” talk from gojo. we can see it in their first meeting too. when their conversation takes a turn to serious, it becomes a conversation is from one adult to another. gojo also seems like the type to pile even more responsibility onto megumi because gojo isn’t responsible, so megumi had to pick up that slack.

i agree with you. i think sukuna is literally a wild card LMAO he does what he wants when he wants and that’s in. i don’t even think you can have a contingency plan for sukuna because he’s just that unpredictable!!!

nanami, qifrey and MAYBE reigen LSDNFKJFKN....reigen beats gojo by far though so i’ll give reigen that (that's not saying much tho tbh 😭) reigen's still sexy as hell tho 😁

also you mentioned khr!! khr is one of my favorite mangas of all time....although amano akira cannot write women despite being one khr still holds a very special place in my heart. i had no idea mukuro was influenced by kannon (to be fair i was like 14) but then again...mukuro’s eyes....i can’t believe our tastes in animanga are the same....bestie our taste>>>

HELLO???? YOU’RE RUNNING INTO SUPERNATURAL CREATURES LIKE THAT??? also motorcycles!! now im like 80% sure you're in SEA somewhere, bc as someone who lived in a SEA country for 3 years and went to school in a haunted building I feel you LMAO

[neo-shitty]

toffee!

yeah same, i follow some fic accs that occaisionally post smut and its like mmmmm is the fluff writing enough to balance the posts that gives me finger burn trying to scroll past it? but yeah thats probably the way to go

ah i wasnt there for the teaser but i can imagine that was tantalising. lmaoo yes but to be fair i do have a writing acc called channiesbigheart so... balancing it out? but i absolutely am whipped beyond belief. it was a TRAVESTY how COULD they have. yeah the b sides gave him more lines but they werent the ones that were performed over and over at stages. yessss the line distribution in this album is impeccable, im pretty sure the thunderous stuff was some of their best distribution

hehe i can understand that, sometimes putting someone in a situation so horrible it would be considered a violation of human rights is theraputic, ya know? mmmm the differences are a bit nuts, it was 14 degrees today and in less than a week its going to be 32 or smth. BROOO that would be legendary, i bet theyd treat their artists rlly well and have great music as well ahhh but its a lot of work adn commitment. yES that is a mood if ever i heard one.

its the same in australia as well, sadly, you have people who hold up harry styles and lil nas x for breaking gender roles and wearing make up adn steryotypical womens clothing (and keep in mind i have infinite respect for both of them theyre honestly doing so much for the de-dehumanising of gay people and those who wear whatever they want), and calling the kpop boys gay and other things for doing the same thing, when theyve been doing it for years and gotten no recognition smh its so tragic. yes, anyway YES ONLY 6 MONTHS I AM FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES A BBY STAN altho i considered myself a fully fledged stay like 2 days after i got into them cos i just spent all day researching and fixating. YES someone said it. it feels like theyre losing a huge chunk of why a lot of people liked their music in teh first place, which was that whole dna, dope, fire mood. and even doing bright songs is fine, liek they should do what they want but i feel liek the western music industry is so fucking toxic that they feel pressured into making these decisions. dont get me wrong, theyre good decisions from a business perspective, theyre getting record breaking sales but still. mmm yeah honestly yg just needs to get its shit together or get out

oooh! not into nct but i see a lot of him, he seems rlly talented. ahh yes another channie ult lmaoo i feel that, my list is growing in leaps and bounds as well. mmm yeah i think i will, im just going to try to save enough money :) mingi appealed to me mostly for the voice (like felix smh what is it with me and deep voiced bois) but also his soft visuals and the whole cutesy thing he has going on i rlly liked. yes i did get into them while he was on hiatus, but im still mostly a casual stan, ill listen to the album when it comes out but i dont think ill obsessively look over everything to do with it, like skz. HAH WE'RE MORE SIMILAR THAN I THOUGHT. lmaooo the thot line describes them perfectly, why are they all so damn attractive. especially seonghwa, like that man looks like a character from a book, cardan greenbriar vibes anyone? mmhmm! his vocals are absolutely insane. ty! yeah im excited altho idk how theyre every going to beat border:carnival, that shit was impeccable. ahh no stress, enjoy teh groups you stan atm!

ahh thank you so much, ill keep that in mind. hehe thats good! hopefully its soon :( ah ty, it means a lot. ill think abt that and hopefully talk abt it a little more :)

ah, no it was inside our gymnasium but to get to the other side of the stage you had to exit the building, go around the back and then enter through the other stage door. ah tysm! im glad too. mmm same, they baffle me. ;n; noo so sad :( ahh, thats um not smth i put on here, but im in high school so make of that what you will :)

thank you! ive done a majority of them, i just have maths, an english presentation and an economic assignment due now so im pretty much home free. yeah i feel like hes the epitome of here for you while being inescapably far away. haha she sounds like one of my friends. lmaooo why is that me. hmmm i feel like youve answered a lot of them in that answer so maybe just ateez, enha, txt and bp? if you stan them? :)

ahhh no problem at all, proud of you for managing to overcome the procrastination! progress! mmm thats good! ahh pls do let me know if you ever decide that, i cant promise i wont cry but do what you gotta do :)

<3 w.a. 🐺

hi! sorry for the late reply, i didn't know how to construct sentences yesterday e.e

yeah sometimes it's the perfect balance! i personally don't like fics that focus mainly on the filth? the plot has to carry the whole fic somehow and the smut is just something to add to the mix. also, i'll follow you on your writing blog! i keep forgetting to do so, damn it.

"sometimes putting someone in a situation so horrible it would be considered a violation of human rights is theraputic, ya know?" putting it this way just silenced me but yes. angst just feels more realistic. it isn't always happy endings irl so i tend to do it a lot.

falling into skz is so easy! it felt like that for me too. stanning them felt like getting sucked into a blackhole. also yes i agree. kpop is nothing but an industry after all and it runs on money so i get why they do what they do as well.

i suggest we not talk about haechan because i will literally not shut up but yes my boy is an ace :( chan is also sooooo easy to love. and the chan's rooms just solidified his place as ult. having something to look forward to every week at a time when my mental health was just plummeting into the depths of tartarus just helped me be stable. oh yeah, mingi's deep voice is indeed sexc. and he has some wack ass duality as well! and i think seonghwa was one of the people i nearly considered as bias just because of his visuals because wow that's one beautiful face. and true, idk how enha's going to beat border:carnival. i don't like all the tracks simply bc of taste preferenceds but i like more than one so i consider that a lot already.

bro that gym should've had some sort of a covered walk :// also i miss being in high school sO DAMN MUCH. but i still feel like i am because time stopped when quarantine started and i was still in senior year at the time.

my ateez bias is wooyoung! it wasn't that much of a shocker to my kpop stan irls because i was a jimin stan for the longest time. enhypen is jake and they kept pointing out that he looked like seungmin sometimes so it's like chan's aussie-ness with a tinge of seungmin (the other guy in my skz bias line, in case i haven't mentioned it). txt is huening kai! i find it hard to believe that he's my age because he looks a lot younger? o.O and he always looks good damn :(( sigh for blackpink it's lisa! i tend to bias the maknaes of yg groups, it's a pattern i've noticed but don't intentionally do!

DON'T WASTE YOUR TEARS OMFG. you can always reach me elsewhere if i like disappear off this blog.

[blacknidstang]

middle east anon here xD

i just wanted to say that i rly love your art AND writing!! it’s so morbid and dark..it’s just wonderful🖤 and your writings are rly good too..

btw i just saw on your blog that you speak persian and arabic and that you used to speak german

i speak both german and arabic (though my written arabic is not soo great xD) but i don’t know a single thing bout persian lol is it similar to arabic maybe?

Hello again anon, you are so kind wtf 🖤 thank you so much, honestly. I'm so flattered 🥺🥺 It makes me happy beyond words that someone has enjoyed my works 💙

I have to confess that i don't remember most of arabic that we were taught in school bc it's a hard language ;_; and also bc i was associating it with things i was struggling with heavily (aka Islam) but years later when i overcame the struggles i regret not committing to learning arabic more bc this language is really beautiful and expressive.

(i used to study german but life got too hectic and i had to drop it and now i dont remember anything)

So, abt your question, i cant exactly call our languages similar since they have very different roots, with arabic having Semitic roots and persian having Indo-European origins. The structure and grammar and most of the words used are deeply different, e.g. persian verb and word conjugation is much easier than arabic's complicated and elaborated one. (One thing most students were struggling so much in learning arabic ;_;)

HOWEVER, we do use arabic writing system and tons of arabic words have become interwoven with persian. (Altho tbh a lot of them have changed a bit in meaning and oh boy do we sure fuck up arabic pronunciations, like the different "s" letters in arabic? We don't pronounce them differently in borrowed arabic words) but nonetheless they have become a permanent part of our language, to the point that many of old poets have an entire line in arabic between persian verses.

(In ways you can liken it to how latin words are abundant in english language tho it has germanic roots and none of the verb conjugations of old latin language)

Sorry for rambling a lot. Btw i've become quite curious .. do you not live in middle east? (Since you mentioned your arabic writing isnt good?)

[multyfandoms-imagines]

can i ask for some romantic Little Red Riding Hooded Mercenary headcanons?she needs way more love.

Is it even possible to romance Red Mecenry without killing Wolf? <_<;

Beauty in scars (Little Red Riding Hooded Mercenary romantic headcanons)

•does she know what love is? Yes. Will she show it? No. Dont bother. Unless you wanna gamble with your luck about beint shot in the face or sliced-n-diced, sure, go on, lemme just bring my cookies to watch it

•her face has so many wounds and scars that she would rather not show you. Sure, mostly scars are cool and all, but Red Mercenary is not proud of any of those. Wont be proud until she finally kills  "that dreadful, cunning bastard " (Big and Will be Bad Wolf)

•since Wolf can very well be beaten by you and your gang far away from Mercenary's room, she will still consider your victory impressive. Someone can actually do the job right for once

•touch-starved, yes. But also tends to yeet- push everyone away cus "it is my personal space, damn it". So, literally, the only good way to even hold her hand is to wait until she is tired as hecc to even bother about it

•no, Red Mercenary aint gonna show you her self or any of even take off her cloak. Nah. Too personal even if you just wanna look at her face. Cant see it

•altho if you have plenty of scars and cover them up, if you show them and point out that "scars dont make you look ugly, you are just too shy to show them, like me" <but im 90% sure you will say something like that better>, Red will hesitate for few minutes before letting you to see it because, well, one, you are right ans two, you showed yours because you trust her enough. So she thinks its fair to show hers

•probably one of her favourite activites with you will be sharpening her/your weapons and checking if her gun still works

•STILL no matter how well your relationship is, once Red Mercenary sees the Wolf, all hell breaks loose and she will do anything to kill him. Wich actually includes shooting everyone in her way INCLUDING YOU, so either take care of the Wolf with her, before she sees it or dont get anywhere near because a bullet to the face is OW

•but for real? Shy is as hell. Its kinda a common thing when "all tough and brutal" people are just big softies that blush at the slightest compliment

•if Red wants to hug, then she will get her hug from you. Probably just grabs you and holds, before realising that she should had asked you before literally forcing a hug. Oops <im 99% sure that LC fandom actually wants to hug Red. Im just sure>

•friendly fights? Friendly fights. Friendly practise. Friendly slicing. Friendly yeeting another abno into their cell because contract

•would actually be gratefull if you stayed a night to comfort her about that horrible nightmare that happens again and again. But wont actually voice it out until you ask

•she is all tough on the outside, but you know that she is just a traumized, shy baby in her soul

[scphiroth]

so i’ve finally finished ffvii remake and here are my thoughts. mostly positive

if you’re going in expecting it to be fully like the original 100% then you’re probably going to be disappointed. but overall, this is one of the FEW games that i actually completed which is goOD

> battle system wise. It’s quite intuitive and wasn’t as difficult as i thought it would be. then again, i played it on easy mode too so hahaha it was rly fun tho > the story really brings your emotions to places gods.... jessie’s death felt so mUCH harder bc she was supposed to die. it wasn’t something that happened bc the enemy’s aim is good or anything but... it hurts knowing that it could’ve been avoided bUT SHE MUST DIE. IM CRYING. I DONT WANT HER TO DIE.

> love the wall street market. love the corneo trio and love leslie. leslie’s backstory is so good and i just love the whole wall street market sidequests and errand runs !! and madam m.... andrea and sam...... they have a special place in my heart as my parents. they helped us even tho they didn’t have to. does that mean that have taken a liking to us ?? they make me feel like i wanna make them proud idk why. > i love how barret looks back at midgar, to marlene and promising that he will be back except for a lot longer than he thought when he made her that promise and it just ..... tears my heart out ;w; > shinra’s building is FUCKING beautiful. im not going to lie. the common area, the lobby, the virtual reality and even the fucking toilet is more beautiful than my country is goddamn. BUT what i also love is how hojo’s labs are a stark contrast to it. it’s creepy, it’s horrifying - and it clearly has a room for dissecting and u can imagine the terror you would have in one of those chairs. AND THEY ARE ALL IN THE SAME BUILDING......... love this !! > domino’s role is a lot more integrated too. i dont remember if he was part of avalanche group in the og series (altho i doubt so) but i love that idea.. i love the idea of avalanche having different cells and helping each other at times even tho they dislike what barret’s cell is doing. it’s amazing and it’s a good setting for a vs shinra scenario. you have more people interested in protecting the planet, which is ... sort of something we’re seeing in the real world too. more ppl are just not ignorant anymore, more people are being aware of the effects of the current system on the environment. good job there !! > the ending is also gorgeous too. defying fate, walking into the portal and the scenes that make up all of it are so dynamic. you get a sense of courage there in the face of something so uncertain and scary.  > and also i love how this remake has some changes but overall implemented all the parts i love about the og. it makes us think about the og series as we go along, reminding us that the original ffvii exist and still important to the overall ffvii series. it isn’t just brushing the original series to the side and bringing in something rather new. i love the connectedness and reminding us where this came from and not something that’s an ‘improved’ version or w/e > i died 3 times at the last bike boss battle. but then again i suck at fighting so lmao  > and... they did a great job with their expressions, their individual quirks and body language. they really brought them to life and show us how they are feeling without the characters explicitly stating out themselves. ;w; it’s gorgeous, i love how expressive they are. > I WILL PROTECT CHADLEY WITH MY L I F E > also i think sephiroth is going into the point that he isn’t human anymore? that emotions just roll off his back and he can’t hear the voices of despair which is kinda... sad itself. but ah .. slaps him a bit anyway > tseng commenting on how the destruction of s7 can be thought in a way that they are giving back the people to the lifestream for what midgar has taken from them with sucking up mako is so dARK LIKE YO, SIR............. i see ur point bUT THAT’S RLY DARK > how tf old is tseng anyway. he looks the same in aerith’s flashback AND now. like.... are u even human, tseng?? do u secretly have jenova’s anti-aging cells?? +w+  > BIGGS LIVED SO YAY. AND DAMN I HOPE WEDGE DIDN’T DIE IN SHINRA BUILDING OR ELSE IM GONNA- > also hi kunsel > and lastly, i love the whispers idea. it’s a really cool and daring element to implement, considering the controversy that’s going to come from it. it really brings the different timelines into perspectives and how it represents a certain part of the fanbase. i love how barret thanked it for saving his life too and then theirs after the fight mini-game. it’s like,,, while u hate it for causing the fall of the plate, u can rly also feel grateful for their help ?? i love that we get a glimpse of what could potentially happen differently tho, even if some major scenes still stuck the same

[fuckyeahasexual]

Ace people have to over perform our non attraction to people. All the ace memes of “look at that hot person and the Ace is like that’s a person lmao” Kind of rub me weirdly. We are asexual not blind. It’s okay to find/think people are beautiful/pleasing to the eye. We don’t have to see everyone as formless grey blobs. I think it’s some internalized aphobia “if I admit people R pretty then I’m a faker”. Or it’s harmless memes & im reading too much into things 🤷🏾‍♀️

I mean i think those memes are mostly about how someone ACTUALLY  finds another person sexually attractive aka hot which is why they point them to ace people and since ace people dont experience sexual attraction or have any idea how it is experienced we CAN see that someone is aesthetically pleasing but ultimately to us they are just a random person with a body yk? Theres a difference between being experiencing sexual attraction and seeing  a person you find “hot” and being ace and just registering that X person has an aesthetically pleasing body altho who knows maybe some ace people might do it bc of internalized aphobia too i personally havent ever heard something like u said before today haha

[sanchoyo]

danny phantom season 2, ep 12-16 thoughts! these episodes, in comparison to the first 10 or so, felt way more laid back and low-stakes, which I appreciate sometimes. I didn't appreciate how lazy jack's halfa design was in masters of time, it made me so annoyed I redesigned it. 👎🏻 u_u

see prev episode thoughts in this tag <3

-'picking a fight with me and my upgraded form!' 'you upgraded to a mullet?' DANNNNY. YOU CANT SAY THAT TO TECHNUS. YOUVE HAD A MULLET TWICE NOW ('fun' split danny, and evil future danny BOTH HAD THEM). I HAVE THE RECEIPTS.

-danny seeing technus hurting valerie and yelling I AM GOING TO BREAK YOU IN HALF. SAMEEEE <3

-axion labs is now a part of vladco. FUCK YOU VLAD. hes not even really IN this episode, but just thought I'd throw out a nice fuck you anyway.

-'capable of blasting a single person into space in (2) minutes!' tucker. that would kill someone. i mean yeah they might get to space, but theres NO WAY THEY WOULDNT CATCH FIRE, OR THEIR ORGANS WOULDNT LIQUIFY BECAUSE OF THE STRAIN. THEY'D PROBABLY PASS OUT BEFORE THEN, BUT. ...no, okay, I get why vlad bought this company. this is RIGHT up his alley.

-danny KNOWS VAL DIDNT DO THIS, THAT SOMEONE STOLE THE SUIT. AND SPENDING ALL NIGHT CHATTING WITH HER. <3 and val is a 9TH DEGREE BLACKBELT?? danny's mom is, too!! omg and she hunts ghosts, his parents would love her. and her fav fruit is kumquat bc its a funny word. im so with danny val is amazing. I love her and I Do Not Want To Hear It From Sam.

-I knew danny wanted to be an astronaut, but the bowling tidbit is like. yes give me more useless info abt these characters, I love tiny details that make them feel more human, and im glad hes got hobbies aside from ghost stuff, we dont really see a lot of that!!! (I mean, we knew 'fun' danny from when he split himself in half liked bowling, so obv it makes sense he LIKES it, but hes very GOOD at it. so proud of him, bowling king) val calling him neil armstrong and them teasing each other. LOVE THAT.

-technus you are my favorite grandpa for setting this up. SAM WHY ARE YOU BEING SO CREEPY BE HAPPY FOR YOUR FRIEND!!! STOP SPYING ON THEM!!! who actually cares if technus did 'set them up' together, theyre having fun and enjoy each others company!!! 'you think the universe wants you two to be together?' 'i dunno, but maybe /I/ do!' EXACTLY DANNY!!! SOO TRUE.

-and valerie being happy sam said she wants to try and be happy for them and make room at the lunch table for them. and hugging sam over it. VAL NEEDS MORE FRIENDS.

-VAL GOING AFTER TECHNUS IN HER SUIT WITH (1) MILK, AND (1) TREE BRANCH AND KEYS!!!. I LOVE YOUUUU BEST GIRL. her new suit kicks ass

-dannys like 'HEY IM AN ASTRONAUT :D' AW. ...HES IN SPACE... the fact he's actually intending to give her the ring. with SAMS NAME ON IT?? IM CRINGING DANNY NO. YOU CANT DO THAT...thank god he didnt. thank god valerie cut it off and said they can just stay friends for now. tbh, they both have a lot on their plates!! they obv both still like each other...it can be a future thing!! when she knows about phantom! youre 14 theres no need to rush. I just want her to have friends and be happy :(

-...danny struggles to do (1) pull up. SAME. but all the ghost fighting in phantom form REALLY doesnt carry over at ALL? that sucks

-sam being as fit as she is, is not just a goth. shes a goth jock.

-honey I Shrank Our Kid, One of his Enemies, and his Bully: the episode

-dash's crush on phantom is So Obvious. fitness buddies :) watching them interact always makes me laugh. also, phantom, with PANTS. 'how many costume changes you gonna go through, what is this, vegas??' DASSH DJKSFHASKDF

-MADDIE GOING AFTER THE MOUSE WITH A BROOM, WHAT THE FUCK. AAAH. JUST BUY SOME KIND OF MOUSE TRAP.

-danny likes lime and vinegar chips. which sound very good.

-'our boy finally has the physical prowess of a 60 year old president!' ...poor danny LMAO

-'what's wrong with beauty pageants' oh tucker you sweet naïve child. what ISNT wrong with them. who approved this for a high school?? (I mean, yes. unfortunately child pageants exist, but...) also danny and tucker once again treating the pretty girls like objects. I need to meet the grown man who wrote this, I just want to talk...

-prince aragon's dragon form reminds me of maleficent (color scheme wise) which is always a bonus. considering the episode is called beauty marked, I feel like the sleeping beauty references are deliberate

-sam with the fake fangs. once again her accessories never miss. hate the 'not like other girls, girls who get sucked into this kind of thing are all shallow and all want to be carbon copies' bs tho.

-sam trying to be the Worst Bride, being rude as shit. DORA IS GOING TO GET KILLED. DID YOU MISS THE PART WHERE SHE SAID THE PRINCE WILL HAVE HER HEAD IF YOU ARENT THE IDEAL BRIDE. YOU /KNOW/ DANNY WILL COME SAVE YOU. JUST ACT CHILL UNTIL THEN. even if you were doing fine to get him to take off the crown, consider maybe not letting his poor sister get punished also?? sure, she could also take off the crown and has dragon powers, but did you know that for sure?? dora didnt even really realize it until you guys talked!! (or at least, she was scared to stand up to him. you had no guarantee she would...) but. good for dora. ANOTHER friendly ghost to add to the List :)

-tucker is so under appreciated in his time. if he was doing a tech-based campaign today he'd have a better shot. people in 2004 had NO IDEA how much tech would be a part of our day-to-day lives...altho. tbh if you're going to be running for student council president, maybe you should..focus on things to actually improve the school? since he's going for a tech angle, he could say like, he would be running fundraisers for the schools computers to be upgraded, etc? we've already SEEN he can be good at money-making entrepreneur type stuff!!

-oh my god wait. this episode is JUST YUGIOH?????! A REBORN PHAROH USING A TEENAGER AS A VESSEL?? YESSSSSS

-tucker using his new minion to feed him grapes and carry him. AND LOCUSTS ONTO THE BULLIES. I love how when he's possessed, he gains winged eyeliner.

-this episode is giving me big 'plankton makes everyone in bikini bottom his slaves and build monuments of him from the spongebob movie' vibes. and the pharaoh has a traitor who works for him? VERY big yugioh vibes. aknadin confirmed

-I like that danny is still completely exhausted after using ghostly wail. (still patiently waiting on him to get duplication)

-LOVE the fenton's 80s outfits. I get hes 14 and embarrassed by everything they do because theyre his parents, but. cmon, this is one objectively cool thing theyve done. love 80s fashion.

-...was vlad just standing on that streetlight waiting for danny to come out? how'd he know they'd be coming out the back? how long has he been up there???

-oh, wait, his ecto-acne has flareups? that SUCKS. danny was...well I dont want to say he was LUCKY HE HALF-DIED, but he was lucky his was pretty instant (I'm assuming that had to do with the power/scale of the portals being different?) I remember in the ep we met him, vlad made a point of saying he was stuck in a hospital for a long time, so. that really actually sucks and I feel bad. not that it excuses anything he's done...but like. it does suck.

-vlad being so sure danny wouldnt help him he made it somehow contagious to his friends to make sure he'd get help? danny is a nice boy, he wouldve helped if it was anyone else. the only reason he wouldn't have is because of the shit vlad did to him, on purpose. vlad 100% dug his own grave by being the biggest asshole, so it is very hard to feel bad for him.

-clockwork is back!!! and making danny learn lessons The Hard Way. Uhhh, okay. I kind of get Danny’s logic, that time traveling this far back would prevent vlad from becoming a halfa also, ergo no arch nemesis or ectoacne to worry about. But the fact that was basically the first solution Danny came up with to solve this problem is actually so funny. It’s so extreme

-APPRICIATION FOR THESE 80S LESBIAN BG CHARACTERS.

-vlad telling maddie in the lab (in the 80s) he has something he's wanted to tell her 'for a long time'...how long have they known each other? I assumed they met in college, since jack always calls vlad his college buddy/roommate, so jack and vlad for sure met in college, but did vlad know maddie longer? thats surprising if so. Tho we don’t know what year of college they’re in so they could mean they met as freshmen and a few years have past…speaking of maddie shes crushing the 80s look.

-vlad blames jack, but. maybe dont stick your face 2 inches from the portal??! THIS FEELS LIKE LAB SAFETY BASICS. IF SOMETHING HAS POTENTIAL TO BE DANGEROUS, DONT GET NEAR IT. WITH YOUR FACE UNPROTECTED IN ANY WAY. (altho jack didnt really give a Big Warning besides screaming BONZAI. so. also that, but cmon.) also, they need gloves, goggles, and to pull all of their hair back tbh. but fuck lab safety, I guess!

-cryyyyinnng at how lazy they were with jack's ghost form design, its just plasmius' design on jack!!! you couldve given him his own design!!

-there. I did that in about 10 minutes and its somehow less lazy than what made it into the show. embarrassing! better yet, I think the episode would've been better if maddie would've gotten the ectoacne. or maybe its just me, wanting to see her design! anyway. I'm sure people have already done redesigns of them both as halfas. I have to go look after I finish this watch through. Also mildly frustrated jacks resentment and bitterness is basically also a copy paste of vlads backstory. They’re different characters, I really don’t think jack would stew in bitterness and jealousy the same way vlad would!! I also don’t think he’d give up after one time of trying to hunt ghosts and getting laughed at. Our canon timeline says different…I dunno, I get it was for laughs, but I’m annoyed because the POTENTIAL this plot has…

-did vlad really wear a stupid cheese hat to his wedding. ok actually that kinda rules. and the cheese door knocker. the dairy-only buffet table. vlad still got rich, just on being the New Dairy King. (Assuming that means he owns a lot of dairy businesses?) ok! this actually is great. hope maddie isn't lactose intolerant!

-'no matter how hard I tried, I could never get rid of my ghost half, the half I knew Maddie could never accept' ohh, ouch, what a horrible thing to say to her HALF GHOST SON. 'YOUR MOM WILL NEVER ACCEPT YOU' BASICALLY.

-maddie strapping danny to the table with a lazer pointed at him in a secret lab she keeps from vlad that she makes a point of saying is sound proof so he can scream all he wants...CHRIST. DANNYS POOR PYSCHE.

-also, not to feel bad for alternate vlad (because, he did lie to maddie saying jack blames her and never wants to see her again...) but. being married to a woman 20+ years and she immediately goes back to jack? if she didnt love vlad and feels like she had to hide shit from him, and says she wasted her best years with him, WHY MARRY HIM. it feels like leading him on!!! cannot believe im feeling bad for vlad, but. this alternate timeline vlad is significantly Less Horrible than Our Vlad. did she not think she'd get funding for her ghost stuff? (which, fair assumption since they're considered 'ghost fanatics/nuts in canon...but...) why did she think jack or vlad would be her ONLY OPTIONS? be like your sister. be single. Actually, this au could’ve been really interesting if after the accident, vlad lied to her and said jack never wanted to see her again, but she stays single. Imagine how much that would bug vlad… like, in her mind, it was never a competition it was jack or no one type situation…

-danny being like 'leave him ALONE' this jack is a HOMEWRECKER, DANNY. let them go to court and settle this at the least. ...or just throw vlad into the portal. (100% human, defenseless vlad) CHRIST, MADDIE THATS BRUTAL. THATS MURDER.

-danny seeing his mom immediately accepting him and his dad being half ghosts in this universe, if I was him this would be a great sign that his universe's maddie would also.

-*maddie voice* "clockwork will help!" *2 seconds later, with clockwork* "I will Not Help." TOUGH LOVE KING. YES LET DANNY SEE THE SODA HIMSELF AND DEVOLP BETTER OBSERVATION SKILLS.

-when clockwork ""reset time to the way it was"" just before danny "meddled"" ...did he really erase a whole alternate timeline? ...damn. because maddie and danny both called it an alternate timeline by name, it splitting when the college incident went different, so it wouldnt have really mattered if he reset it, right. like because danny's timeline is on a different stream? why didnt clockwork just. show danny a replay and not Reset That Timeline. wh...I wonder how many people that Erased From Existence. Anyway! once again stating clockwork is casually terrifying!

[solasan]

hi roslyn/solas is so good so if you don't mind: 6, 9, 13, 16, 20, and 26 (i'm sorry it's so many you can ignore this if it's annoying!) thank you!

omg it’s not annoying at all thank u sm for asking abt them !!!!!!!! 💖💖💖

6. what is their favorite feature of their partner’s?

roslyn rly loves solas’ smile. like, it’s small and relatively rare, and she’s constantly trying to bring it out, and she’s always so happy when she does. she’s also very taken w his eyes, bcos they’re beautiful and also where most of his emotions lie. solas is similarly taken w roslyn’s eyes, bcos they’re this pale purple colour that hes just like wowza over. he also rly rly loves her hair; he’s braided it once or twice, and the first time she sorta blinked like, how do u know how to do that, and he started joking abt not always being bald. he loves to hide his face in her hair too when they cuddle. big plus, 10/10, recommended by ancient elven god

9. who worries the most?

oh solas. solas was born to worry. roslyn is constantly gently pushing him to share those worries (which obviously…. doesnt happen) and also trying to pull him out of them. roslyn does worry a lot, but he rly does have her beat

13. who reaches for the other’s hand first?

hmmmm depends. i think roslyn, in the beginning, but by the end it’s definitely solas. he finds her very comforting, so her touch is always one he sort of subconsciously seeks out, and he likes playing w her fingers when they’re sitting together

16. who wants to stay in bed just a little longer?

solas solas solas. all he wants to do is dream. roslyn herself is very used to getting out of bed at the crack of dawn, no matter how much sleep she’s had, bcos as a servant she couldn’t exactly lay around all day, so it makes her laugh to see him so sleepy and grumpy. solas is always draping himself on top of her and trying to keep her in bed w him. he does tell her to come back to bed in elven more than once, and she never understands what it means

20. what do their family/friends think of their relationship?

almost everyone is confused by it tbh. i mean… shes not in touch w any of her family (apart from dorian can i get a hell yeah for distant family relations) but some of their friends kind of… dont rly get why they’re together. varric sees it, i think, from a narrator’s stand-point, and he’s definitely a secret romantic, so he likes it, altho less so after gwyddie dies and his friendship w roslyn falls apart. sera is always like ‘lol him? ros u could do so much better’ and dorian is sorta wittily befuddled and he takes the piss at times, but gently, bcos he loves roslyn. cassandra finds it romantic, bcos of course she does. cole is absolutely on board 10/10 ‘she makes him warm inside, gold and thick and sweet like honey’. viv thinks she’s throwing away her chances at connections lmAO which given her own relationship w solas isnt surprising. blackwall is supportive of his lil niece-sister-type figure, and generally likes solas, but there’s definitely some protectiveness there. bull gets it, i think, bcos he sees it through their eyes. josie approves whole-heartedly, and leliana’s like. secretly sort of amused abt it all

26. what would be their theme song?

again more just a song that fits them than a theme song, but either axel flovent’s lighthouse, or christina perri’s distance, bcos those lyrics. like??? please don’t stand so close to me, i’m having trouble breathing? oh my GOD

[maddieandyou]

“get an animal that’s meant to stay inside” you mean like a domesticated cat??? wild cats are meant to be outside. any cat you own or could own is MEANT TO BE INSIDE. humans bred them to be INDOOR ANIMALS. and, dude, think a little. you live around people who own dogs, roads with cars, and and around people at all, right? then congrats! you live in an area that is dangerous for your animals to ‘just be outside’. outdoor cats statistically live half as long as indoor cats due to the issues above.

I was gonna just call this dumb but I think if u took the trouble to write that garbage while thinking ur being headstrong whilst using anon I'll just share this since ur probably gonna check back to see the reply anyway

Firstly bitch, don't bring up my animals into ur stupid way of thinking, my cats have/had beautiful long full lives with the perfect balance on their terms. My parents opted for a cat instead of a dog because it made more sense for us as a family regarding whete we lived how big our house was etc a cat is self sufficient and can be outside or inside all day depending on what they want while the family is out. The only threat my cats have ever had is other cats when they've gotten into scuffles even then it's only male cats. All within an appropriate area where just a few gardens down someone has a dog except that dog isnt a raging ass hole and just yells at them sometimes when he sees cats or birds.

I live in London where foxes roam and have even been on my shed roof in my garden, but my cats acc dont mind them because since they get the chance to asset themselves in their environment and learn and explore they know if they don't mind foxes and dogs or if they are scared of them. I used to be worried sure, but then again an animal would never just randomly square up to a bigger animal at risk to their life for no reason, my cats have chilled next to foxes so in my particular case my cats knew the risk and the fox knew the risk of going into a humans garden. A fox and her pups have even nestled in my neighbours garden I saw from the window. Like I said animals arent stupid and know not to look for trouble so if cats were about they'd steer clear of a mother fox and her pups.

See if I lived in America where that eco system is completely different I'd have to take into consideration what threats are about and if where I live is ok for them and by that I mean other animals not cars, people or whatever else is apart of the world that u said was dangerous. If I thought the area I was in wasnt safe enough you know what i would do....

I'll tell u a secret here's what I'd do....

I wouldn't get a cat

Maybe I'd get a dog, or just have no animal because I made the choice to live in that place and made the decision it was also unsafe for any animals I may want to join my life.

It's just selfish and cruel to bring an animal into seclusion not letting outside bevause u think it's not safe... then why get them? They are not meant to be inside all the time domestic or not, domestic doesnt mean staying inside, u would never treat a dog that way

Just say that u want a cute animal but dont care about them much beyond that selfish reason and be done with it

All im reading is that u think it's ok for people to own violent dogs that potentially kill other animals instead of letting a cat have space to roam and explore other than ur cramped smelly dusty home

Cats are adaptable, as easy as it is to domesticate them, they can also use their instinct to survive a populated neighbourhood or any environment that's the point of evolution, yh they're domesticated but that doesnt mean they are incapable and thousands of years of mental and physical development goes away. They are one of the most intelligent animals and as someone who's had cats all their life, domestic and adopted strays from the street and literal rural Greece where they are owned by no one and roam free I think I know what I'm talking about when I say that they'll be fine and if they do get hurt it's not as if anything in life is risk free u could get hit by a car the moment you go outside, stabbed or shot, did ur parents never let u out? Even tho as humans we are way dumber as kids in comparison to the mind of a cat that has the instinct to mature within a few months?

Like think about what you're saying, dont disrespect these animals so much that u think the best thing for them is to be looked after by humans inside a box

If u are literally THAT worried and concerned about it DONT GET A CAT it disgusts me that this mindset exists because u would allow dogs to literally be spoilt with dog parks, first dibs of environment apparently by ur standards to keep cats away, anything specially for dog owners to give their dogs a full life and cats are left with just ur ugly flats and houses....

Stop blinding urself by these modern dumb standards, go back a few decades in fact go back a few thousands years and see how cats lived and their nature and personalities before u treat every one like its geriatric, altho even old cats get about outside in gardens etc

Some cats are domesticated but they're not fucking incapable animals stop treating them like their morons and learn about them and appreciate just how amazing they are

Watch ssome animal planet, read a book and get some perspective

Some cats may need to be inside more then others sure, some like to stay inside more than others, doesnt mean that's all their world should be. If you're going to be responsible for their life and their whole world why keep it within 4 walls no animal is meant to live like that

The way people keep bringing up dogs is stupid also because if you've seen a cat with a dog your argument would dissolve. Only way that argument is relevant is if the dog is really violent then it's the dog that should be secluded inside not the peaceful cat so please fuck off

8.5.22 I flew to slc from Anchorage. Going to St. George, Ut for niece Seal's wedding on 8.12. My siblings will be there, some of them. Jr picked me up Sat morning at 6am. Went breakfast at IHOP. Went home met Makai. Last saw him in March. He is a chunky 6 month old cute baby. Built like his dad and has this certain look that reminds me of his dad when he is annoyed w you LOL. Spent some time w him and Lauren. We went grocery shopping on me. It helps save some money of theirs that otherwise wouldve gone to this. Ordered lunch. I went Meni apt and showered, did laundry. Returned Jr house spent time w them. Ordered dinner. Returned to meni house. Slept in her room w the xmas lights on cos I was a bit uneasy being alone without her. Had a restless night. Got up, Jr n Makai picked me up to take me to bus stop downtown. We left early but got lost as to where bus stop is, no signs. Asked 2 LDS members who were outside conference center of the church and they didn't know. The whole time I was praying hard to God please don't let me miss the bus. I walked back to Jr in the car then the 2 angels called me back and pointed the way. There was a guy who was going St george also and had a ticket and said that where the bus stop at. I was soooo relieved if Heavenly Father were here, I would've ran and hugged him tight and cried. Thats how worried and relieved I was. So I bid farewell to Jr and went and chatted w the guy w the ticket. Found out he from Park City, Utah and he a member. Another family joined us and also was looking for bus stop lol. They were from Ethiopia. We had a nice lil group gathered there all happy to have found the spot. The bus came w in 5 mins. Super easy to get on. Showed driver our tickets and put away our luggage and now I'm on the SLC express instead of the Flixbus. Its a big and comfortable bus equipped with entertainment and outlet to charge your devices.

I think of God's love for me as I have trusted in his plan. He took Chuck from me and has never failed me in all I've been called to endure such as the loneliness, dealing w my emotions, handling the manly affairs of the home, making major decisions, choosing to spend my $ to support my kids in their struggles. I feel he has made my decision to help them easy. I worry about not having enough left for me to survive on but God always gives me a comfortable and relaxed feeling in my mind and heart. I feel that is his assurance to me that I have done right. I've always trusted in my HF altho it hurt so much to lose my husband and to walk this earth alone. There are times I still break down remembering how much he loved me. Like rn as I'm on this big bus, i got my inspirational lds hymns playing and writing on here cos I brought no journal w me, and as we're going down the road, I have this gorgeous view of the blue sky and the beautiful sun shining thru. One can't help seeing it and not think about God's wondrous creations. Thankful for Tumblr, I can record my thoughts. Dont wanna miss out on all the wonderful things and trials I experience and God's hand in my life daily. Meni is up in Alaska for 2 weeks.

[many-gay-magpies]

I HAD A FEELING MY ASK WOULD OPEN UP A WHOLE VEIN OF SOLON ANGST WOW MAGS U RLY WENT FOR THE HEART THERE OUCH.

bro the intros and outros really do HIT i actually do listen to them often (yes its bc im down bad for jake and like hearing his voice wHAT ABT IT) AND THE WRITING IS SO INTERESTING??? LIKE PLS WHERE DID IT GO. WHERE.

back to solon- YES EXACTLY WEREWOLVES ARE PACK ANIMALS. EXACTLY. which is a huge reason as to why it makes more sense for solon to be born a wolf, they're family-oriented packs that Would want to raise kids. ik theres a lot of stories where lycanthropy is spread via werewolf bite, but thats a very modern idea and not consistent with the core of what a "werewolf" is. most origins of it have it as a born condition or as a divine curse. so anyways itty bitty baby werewolf solon in his little community. i am going to CRY. AND THE PART WHERE HE THINKS HE HATES SOOHA BUT RLY ITS HIS INNER PULL TO HER BC HE RECOGNIZES HER AS A MEMBER OF HIS PACK. THATS SO . AAAAAA. AND ALSO CAN WE THINK ABOUT HOW HE PROBABLY HAS THIS DEEP-SET FEAR OF LOSING HIS PACK SO HE PUSHES SOOHA AWAY BECAUSE HES SCARED OF FORMING AN ATTACHMENT THAT WILL DEVASTATE HIM TO LOSE. YEAH .

AND YEAH I HAVE FEELINGS ABT THE SUNSHINE CITY WEREWOLVES NOW TOO. BECAUSE ACTUALLY. SOME THINGS MAKE SENSE NOW. the sunshine city boys usually express some kind of surprise when the decelis boys band together, and in the webnovel they actually team up to get shit done (and rescue the werewolves that got kidnapped). part of me thinks that because of their experiences w solon, the decelis boys have adapted a pack mentality/werewolf style of being, which is why they team up so quick w the sunshine city boys when they hear of their wolf brothers getting kidnapped. it's that "no one is left behind in family" mentality. so i imagine the werewolves just SO FRUSTRATED bc why do these vampires, their mortal enemies, posses the same pack-mentality values as them??? idk just thoughts

-vrvr anon

KSGJDGDJDH YEAH IT DID. IT SURE DID. im pretty sure theres an entire section of my brain just dedicated to generating solon angst at this point thats how seamlessly this stuff comes to me. anyone can say pretty much anything about solon and ill be like oh? oh potential beginning of an angst pathway? oh i see.

THEY DO HIT and i feel you so much with the jake thing... his speaking voice is just. so beautiful. its like he was born for narration hsjfbfjfbj (altho i heard niki did some in japanese in the new intro which has me like 👀👀👀). but YEAH WHERE DID THE WRITING GO. where is it. what did you do with it hybe

GOD I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT WEREWOLVES AS PACK ANIMALS U DONT EVEN KNOW. so many. and it does make more sense as far as the werewolf myth goes overall for it to be a genetically inherited tradition or a curse... one person gets cursed to be a werewolf and all of their descendants after them carry the curse, as well... except it ends up devolving into something thats not really a curse because now theres whole communities of werewolves living happily together and helping each other deal with their lycanthropy and building families and AAAAA yeah . i just think its neat! (also coincidentially, when i answered your ask yesterday i had also just been reading this cute little comic zomcom on webtoon where one of the characters is a born werewolf and theres this cute little doodle of him as a baby wolf and . it made me think of little tiny baby wolf solon stumbling around and roughhousing with his human packmates pre-orphanage and now im <////3)

(the baby werewolf in question ^^^) (just imagine that but its itty bitty werewolf pup solon. and now you're crying!)

NO YEAH REALLY. the solon and sooha thing kind of came to me out of nowhere but it gave me so many feelings dude. so much. and yEAH SOLON HAVING THIS INSTINCTUAL FEAR OF LOSING HIS PACKMATES SO HE PUSHES SOOHA AWAY TO AVOID DEVELOPING AN ATTACHMENT TO HER SO IT DOESNT HURT IF HE LOSES HER-- FUCK-- YEAH. YEAH

the thought of the decelis vamps developing this familial "no one gets left behind" pack mentality because of how close they are with solon is soooo... feelings. yeah its so feelings HDJFBFJFJ im perfectly coherent what are you talking about ?? (legitimately tho its so sweet and such a soft image i might cry.) aND THEN THE SUNSHINE CITY WOLVES BEING SO CONFUSED LIKE "wtf why are these vampires teaming up with us so easily?? these are OUR pack members so why should they care?? theyre acting like a wolf pack but theyre vampires. whats going on. what" I LOVE IT.

also now im having lots of very soft feelings about the vamps being solon's pack; insisting from the moment they all connect at the orphanage that, FUCK genetics, they're gonna be this sad lonely wolf boy's pack whether they can actually turn into wolves or not. you know that really cute scenario we talked about where the vamps all pile together on top of wolf!solon for a week long nap after finals are over? im wondering if that (the whole cuddle pile thing) might be a behavior that's more exclusive to werewolves and something they boys all develop because of their relationship with solon, so whenever the sunshine city wolves see the vamps all piling on top of each other (maybe after an exhausting battle, when theyre all a lot closer with each other and dont mind chilling out together after) they just go ???? because. What. HSJFHFJFB

AND also also . jakah using his superspeed to race with solon on full moons. or ALL of the vamps running with solon on full moons. jaan wrestling with solon like a fellow wolf would because his superstrength allows him to actually hold his own against solon in his wolf form (and maybe even sooha doing the same later on). the boys all playing hide-n-seek in the forest and having solon find them. just. think about it

(and last thought . now i have a much funnier alternative to the angstier scenario of one of the wolves, upon finding out solon is a werewolf, asking him if he wants to join them so he can be in a REAL pack, and rather than being all conflicted about it solon is just like. i already have one tho??? and the wolves go "your brothers dont count" and solon goes "the FUCK THEY DONT-")
