Yknow what. I’m not done complaining about dc. I started bitching in the tags of my prev post & i have more feelings. I get a stack of dc every month & we’ll take the vertigo (i refuse to call it anything else if only cause it’s shorter) stuff out i still have like 6 titles a month. That is if dc decides they’ll actually put out a jsa issue that month. The ones I’m most excited to read rn? Flash, Birds of Prey, & Green Arrow. Why? Cause the characters feel like the characters i fell in love with & the story is actually compelling. Yes, green arrow is suffering hard from the crossover shoehorning but the whole physically cannot occupy the same time and space as the people you love is a legit issue for Ollie & fascinating gotcha from Merlyn. Like, it’s novel! And I’m curious to see how it shakes out. The weird string theory/comic book physics around the speed force that spurrier is doing in flash is honestly REALLY cool. I’ll be the first to say i couldn’t care less about the speed force. It works cause it’s plot the only reason the flashes study it is cause they’re a bunch of adhd scientists who can’t help themselves & the writers feel the need to put their stamp on it. The whole weird dimensions & alien beings & time cops is super strange but hella compelling & the way it’s affecting the characters & eroding their relationships which are so core to flash characters is really amazing I love how much it hurts. Truly i cannot wait to see how exactly this shakes out. Know what I don’t care for? Whatever the fuck Amanda Waller is doing. I, who normally hates “let’s study the speed force!” stories wishes we could get back to studying the speed force cause the whole ham fisted analogy crossover thing is so boring & not even original. I think dc has done this exact plot at least twice before. In main continuity. It pops up every couple years anymore & it will never be what the 80s x-men were & they need to just stop trying. And bop! I love bop right now! I could wax poetic about the art styles cause they’re stunning & SO expressive. In a post where I’m bitching about stories I’ll just leave it there. The story itself? Pretty interesting, if standard bop stuff at first. Gotta put a ragtag team of gals together to do something low key shady cause it’s the right thing. The team is a nice mix; tho I’m not sorry to see Harley go, she’s another character that I understand sells comics but I am so sick of seeing it is not even funny. It’s not even that I dislike her as a character I’m just over her being in every single comic. And the dimension hopping weird babs rescue mission? I’m in! Where we going next? What even is the reason? Sure, we just rescued sin in a very similar plot structure but idc! The writing is fun! The dialogue is fun! The page of Cass’s reactions to vixen’s lingerie options is BRILLIANT! Love the lineup! It’s nailing what I think jsa is attempting but in a more fun & lighthearted tone. Tbh I’m not sure cause I’m still not sure what’s going on in jsa since they seem to publish it at will every like 3-5 months so I have no real clue what’s going on in that one. And I’ve been reading it for like 2 years now. I’m so tired of Nightwing & titans. I, a titans girlie, find it so boring. They’re both boring! From go they’ve been extensions of each other which is frustrating. Some moments in each I really enjoy! But overall? I still don’t see where Nightwing is going & tbh it feels like dick has spent this whole time doing nothing. Despite the fact that we were told he did so much he got a key to the city! He did adopt a dog. That’s like the most memorable & only real thing that he achieved. Cause the foundation? He’s a bat. They all do that. And titans? Oh wow. Another Raven goes evil story. Wow. How shocking. How original. Like honestly, is there some word on high at dc about the titans not being allowed to do a story that isn’t rehashing Judas contract or trigon? Cause I cannot be the only person bored with those being the only 2 titans plots anymore.

#dc comics #personal #look ive been keeping my comics opinions largely to myself #but im tired of the same bullshit & annoyed cause like i KNOW good stories can be told w/ these characters #adventures w/ superman is pulling it off beautifully! & there’s so much good (non fanon) fic!#my comics reading began w/ new teen titans & 90s bop ive been going backward & forward from there i KNOW its not all great but some of it is #why can’t we just write interesting fun stories again? why does it have to be an event or crossover? why is it all bat books?#my kingdom for young justice generation book again

Take this as constructive criticism or just me sharing my views. ITS NOT AN ATTACK

But I would really won't rely on doctors saying Lyme is just bunch of bs, I don't have it but I have 5 doctors at home and about pain , Man doctors are such sadist according to my sister who is a practicing doctor , she says if a doctor says you will be in mild discomfort it means it will hurt like bitch but if he/she says it won't hurt it means it will hurt but will be tolerable . My personal experience with medical professionals have also not been good I have been gaslighted so many times my symptoms were normal till I ended up in ICU so, no doctors/medical professionals are not always right.

Secondly, Andrew huberman is a piece of shit for what he did but supplements/probiotics do make a difference. Probably some supplements won't do things companies say, as companies often reach with thir claims like saying green tea will help you with weight loss, no for that you will have to drink a lot but saying green tea is not beneficial for health is false. As someone who was on very extended period of antibiotics, probiotics and yogurt has helped me immensely and it's still something that helps me when I have gut issues.

Anyways not an attack , I enjoy reading your work ✌

First of, I agree, doctors are shady as hell and esp as a woman, navigating the medical system and getting someone to take you seriously IS a challenge

I had already explained how Lyme disease is a legitimate illness caused by tick bites and "Chronic Lyme" is a separate "condition" that's unrelated to it.

Lyme disease is not a severe or life threatening condition btw. It's literally a very minor, completely treatable and fully curable condition that will go away with 2 weeks of antibiotics

Manyyy doctors have commented upon Bella's illness and how it makes no sense she has been suffering for 10+ years from ...a tick bite???

Also she has literally posted her medical history and it's all fake 😭😭

So yes, I stand my ground that whatever Bella has, isn't a real condition that can be verified by actual medical professionals :/

Another thing is that Chronic Lyme's symptoms are hella vague and not at all specific to cHroNic lYme, like if all your symptoms can be experienced by an average person, then how tf does one determine who is sick??

It's not like there hasn't been medical research done into this super rare disease and the entire medical community has been unhelpful to Bella. It's that, it's absurd and insane for this condition to persist over a lifetime??? Like that's not how it works???

I completely agree that doctors can be wrong but Chronic Lyme not being a real condition isn't some doctor's personal opinion. It's a medically disproven condition aka SCIENCE has proven that its not legit??

Obviously even science can be wrong sometimes, so maybe in the future we'll know about how Chronic Lyme is a super rare and advanced condition or whatever idk

Now about probiotics, research has shown:

"The majority of studies to date have failed to reveal any benefits in individuals who are already healthy.” The bacteria seem to help only those people suffering from a few specific intestinal disorders. “There is no evidence to suggest that people with normal gastrointestinal tracts can benefit from taking probiotics,” says Matthew Ciorba, a gastroenterologist at Washington University in St. Louis. “If you're not in any distress, I would not recommend them.” Emma Allen-Vercoe, a microbiologist at the University of Guelph in Ontario, agrees. For the most part, she says, “the claims that are made are enormously inflated.” (from an article published by Scientific American)

Even with vitamin supplements, unless somebody has a serious deficiency, I don't see how taking supplements is prioritised over consuming actual vitamin rich food??? It's literally just a capitalist technique to make people buy shit they don't need. Imagine brainwashing people into thinking they should take vitamin c pills instead of yk... eating oranges or whatever???

Probiotics help those who have intestinal issues, which as per your description, I think you do. Majority of people already have gut bacteria and don't need to take probiotic supplements for it??? Or they can consume probiotic enhancing food like yoghurt (which I love 🤤)

I'm not attacking the concept of probiotics, just the way they're marketed and sold to the public to be some miracle cure when it's just as easy and convenient for people to eat food meant to help with healthy gut bacteria instead of yk paying for unnecessary supplements.

SPN Season 8

Dean & Cas ended up in purgatory 😨

But Cas had disappeared just before the end of the S7 finale, so its going to be interesting to see where he went. Dean, meanwhile is totally fucked up, which makes sense cuz he was stuck in purgatory for a year. To me, he's become more militant than ever, like his father was after John lost Mary. Doubt John would have worked with a vampire but it seems like new ally Benny was Dean's only way out of there so 🤷

Interesting that Dean said purgatory was pure to him. I guess it was basically simplifying his life down to fighting monsters and having someone at his side to help him through. Also I interpreted it as he was so far removed from normal life, for conventional norms and societal expectations. The rules were different in purgatory, which was basically to survive, no matter what, which Dean managed to do the whole time he was there. So anything else he did, didn't really matter, because everything/everyone else around him was a monster, supernatural creatures, who don't care about anything humans do. In a way, you could say Dean was free to be whoever he wanted to be, just you know in a place full of ravenous beasts.

Sam buddy, how could you neglect Kevin like that, smh 🙄, he was counting on you. Did his new ex-girlfriend die by the way? Cuz considering Sam's track record, my money's on dead.

When they were interrogating the prisoner and Dean flashbacked to his time in purgatory interrogating a monster, yikes. Yup, Dean is definitely fucked up. I mean more so than before.

Kevin's mom may be a tiger mom, but she is a total badass 😎

We finally see Cas again, it was cute seeing Dean hug Cas after finding him again. It made sense that Cas would be on the run to protect Dean, but it would be nicer to see them survive together. Maybe we'll see that in the next couple of episodes?

Garth came back! It was nice to see him again. I guess his Bobbyisms (that's what I'm calling it) were his way to honor Bobby since he's dead 😔 RIP Bobby.

Dean yelled at him :/ not cool Dean, but Garth stood up to him, good on you Garth!

Cas returned to the world finally. But I agree him just showing up again out of nowhere is hella shady, but of course heaven is behind it. We meet Naomi, who seems controlling and manipulative like all the other heavenly beings on the show, so greaaat!

Poor Samandriel 😔

Cas is still taking things so literally, its hilarious!

Cas wants to be a hunter like the Winchesters. But they were so mean to him, being all condescending like yeah we get it Cas is an odd fellow who doesn’t know how interact with humans or understand their behavior as only fellow humans do. The cartoon stuff was interesting, something new and funny.

Benny's a great grandpa? Are we just going to ignore that? Dean you think you slick not telling the vampire you hit on his descendant? That storyline had a tragic end, doubt we'll be seeing his great granddaughter again…

Sam and his overarching story with this latest girlfriend of his - I'm just waiting for the part where she dies - again nothing personal that’s just what I’ve come to expect. That was cold of Dean to make Sam think Amelia was in danger. Like dude the what the hell. If it had been Dean, worse shit would have popped off.

😭 Samandriel is still getting tortured, so again I say, poor Samandriel and then he gets killed by Cas who was getting mini flashbacks of being tortured himself by Naomi. Poor little angel dudes 🥺

The LARP episode! I was looking forward to this one! I know about Dean's actor falling in the blooper reel, they made it into a whole thing in the conventions around the time… 😂

Charlie’s back, and as the queen of the LARPing stuff. Cool! But she got her chances of getting with a fairy ruined by the Winchesters, of course!

When Charlie and Dean mentioned the same porn star by name 😂🤣🤣

That little Braveheart scene at the end was so corny 🤣

It was interesting and somewhat ironic that Sam and Dean meet their grandpa who they never knew of, since their dad lost contact with him when he was really young, and that he was part of this (club?) group called the Men of Letters who are apparently this organization with books on supernatural creatures, spells, etc. their grandpa had no respect for regular hunters 🤣🤣🤣🤣

RIP Grandpa Winchester. And we have a new villain – Abbadon

Kevin you poor bastard, all isolated and run ragged from your duties as a prophet. He really got a raw deal when Castiel plucked him into this shit.

Sarah noooooooo RIP 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

And Castiel, honey you should know better. I mean the minute that bitch ass Metatron was talking about trials and what has to be done, I knew he was playing you. Honey no!!!! 😔🤦🏾‍♀️

One last thing - y’all thought I’d forget didn’t you. I could never!!!

Dean buddy - wtf is up this season.

First you stay a whole ass year for an angel you were previously mad at.

You had some sort of intense relationship (I’m not even sure what to call it) with benny the vamp (I felt like there was so much more unseen)

A guy flirts with you when you’re acting as an FBI agent, and it flusters you completely, referring to it henceforth as ‘your gay thing’ in tones that make it seem commonplace. Is it commonplace, Dean? Cuz Sam wasn’t the only one who did a double-take

When Castiel beats you and has you on your knees, you beg him telling him you need him. OML!

You get all sad when Naomi says you’re expecting Cas to return to you UGH!

Seriously WTF Dean?!?!?!?!

3+4 from the General section and 1 from Romance for the Tav asks :3c

QA For a Companion!Tav AU:

My tav is Kali, a tiefling shadow monk.

Does your Tav have any comments or advice when you recruit other companions?

She'll have a ton of quips or other small comments whenever someone joins up with the party, she's a bit of a chatter box. But with hindsight or reading into it, the player maybe able to figure out she was giving some advice or insight she noticed about the companions because it mirrors her backstory in someway.

Like for Astarion she'll probably say something like "Leave the sulking in the dark to the two of us friend." Implying that she already sees through his lil performance when you first meet him (and that their backstory has some parallels as both their backstories have them doing shady things in the dark at night). Or for Shadowheart she'll say "A girl who can keep her secrets? I like it." Since Kali also is used to keeping secrets locked away in the dark.

The only real exception to this would probably be Wyll. With Kali knowing of him before hand and making a comment of "Oh great, the duke's son, here to save another lost soul." But its a thing where once Wyll's pact is revealed and they get to know each other, Kali will quickly realize she kinda misjudged Wyll on the misinformation she was given about him and that Wyll is actually kinda leading the life she wants to leave (Roaming around, helping people, but not being a stary eyed native kid about it).

What sort of general actions raise or lower their approval?

She approves of the Tav tricking people, getting people to think you are on their side before backstabbing them once you get what you want or have weakened them. She approves of helping people, doubly so for helping any tieflings or helping people getting out from under the thumb of someone oppressing them.

She'll generally disapprove of any dialog that shows the Tav having way to much of an ego or sense of pride. She'll also disapprove of any time the Tav tries to be controlling of her, even in little ways like trying to get her to stop making her silly lil jokes or comments.

She won't necessarily be opposed to doing bad acts or agreeing to work with bad, but the Tav has to frame it as "a necessary sacrifice for a greater good" otherwise there will be some heavy disapproval dinks (She has a branching path of helping her be a better person or pushing her to fall back on old bad habits).

Is your Tav a romanceable character? Are there any specific requirements to romancing them?

She'd be hella romanceable. In my brain the main requirement for romancing her would be to save the tieflings, even if she could be convinced to say in the party if you turn against the grove (even if it would be a hard sell). Since saving the tieflings would be the start of her "I can actually do good in the world and help people rather than just randomly wander" journey.

But also now my brain just jumped to a more hidden romanceable option where you choose to turn against the grove and she starts falling back on bad habits of justifying all her bad actions "for the greater good". And with high enough approval and taking a slower romance path with her and the player and her can just go full evil and take control of the absolute's plan in the end. With her and the player being the best evil powercouple.

#I'm still on my first play through so i dont fullyknow the endings yet #bg3 #asks

(Throws this through your window like a rock)

Damn this good

So I personally lean towards dragging things out but it really depends on what scenes you like best, pre AFO life, life under AFO, and his subsequent downfall, or the Fallout. The power vaccume left behind the world needs to fill and the horrors he left behind not fading silently into the dark like he did. Of course you could do Both or have it as a possible sequel but that’s a lot so it really comes down to what you like best. Still gonna ramble about ideas though there is So Much (now with Basic Formatting Skills!)

So first off quick delve into TIFs quirk again cause I Can Not help myself. So we already established TIF probably has wonky physics and can take a hit cause of it right? Well I realized while writing that she technically? Has No vital organs. It’s all a projection of her quirk factor. If she gets stabbed she could simply reform over it, steal your knife, and happily skip away. Of course that’s probably *not* how it’s gonna go cause stabber? Gonna expect to do some damage. And that’s Belief! Belief that’s getting sent *straight* to her. Still, she doesn’t let much influence in through her connection so it’s not a Big deal, just annoying. Combined with the other methods discussed earlier means she’s hella durable though

Next up is stuff she can make! Cause that wallet you mentioned? Disappeared. Vanished once it left her sphere of influence. Why though? If it was just something she made it there’s no reason it wouldn’t last! Well, that’s if she used matter manipulation and Remade it. If she was just “playing pretend”? Then it would be just another projection of her quirk. Technically part of her body as much as her hands are but since she and others Believe it’s separate, it is. As she gets better control though? She could likely extend her sphere of influence or even section off parts to stay with her “creations” like her main body does. Only problem with that of course being that it would likely eat away at her sphere of influence, weakening her. But in exchange? I imagine it’s Much easier to “play pretend” than it is to reshape matter into a stable form of what you want and have it *work*. Of course just reshaping matter is probably less resource intensive for long term creations. The Best method though? The one that’s permanent and barely costs Anything power wise? Stealing. Walk by someone or a shelf and Whoop, sense what’s there with your sphere and use it to pull in what you want. From there? Slip it into a pocket or hide it inside Yourself where No One is looking and you’re home free (unless there’s an alarm but shhh). She could probably make a killing as a pickpocket until she finds someone shady enough they’re willing to forge a paper trail for cheap. Also she probably needs to list a basic body modification quirk for that stuff to avoid difficult questions and constant updates on height and whatnot.

Now! Pre-death AFO ideas!

So TIF? Isolated. Probably kept away from the public where she could reveal information. But AFO? Not dealing with That 24/7. Best solution? Keep the quirk factor but give her connections some slack so she can be stuck at the doctors place where he can get stuff done. Don’t want to leave her alone All the time though, AFO recognized that look in the doctors eyes would rather she not “disappear”. While there and annoying the doctor to hell and back? She can see Others. Other people, quirks, experiments, Nomu, Everything. And for a quirk that’s been isolated? One that’s Built to be social, has the concept of friendship Baked into the Core Of Their Being? She’s gonna packbond So Quickly. As for who’s there it depends on the AU and timeline. You can have plants, animals, quirks, ocs and mha characters, Anything. After all gotta have characters to have a story and the doctor needs parts for experiments and Nomu.

Now to revisit an earlier thing on the Power of Friendship cause AFO? Doesn’t have it. Like you said, devoid of friendship and all the things that come with it. Incompatible. Why though? AFO is Still human, despite how it may seem, so he still Has emotions (namely curiosity and ambition but still). Well, maybe not! Cause AFO has Outright Stated he wants to be a God (technically a Demon Lord but God’s more dramatic and in character). First problem with achieving godhood? Gotta make tough decisions. Kill, steal, don’t let them feel, etc. So? What if he had a way past all that, move past all those feelings that come up when he has to make sacrafices. A way to move beyond that guilt bubbling up every time he sees his brothers face. A quirk. One that allows him to modify his own emotions. Have to leave the curiosity and ambition there to stay functional but guilt? Pain? FRIENDSHIP? That was All dimmed/turned off Centuries ago. At this point he probably does even remember how to turn them Back On even if he wanted to. Just a fun way to explain the incompatibility and make this even more “AFO designing his own downfall” than it already was.

Now onto post-AFO!

AFO? Dead. Body fell apart as his quirks eroded and glitched out and was left brain dead or a pile of dust. But TIF? For there to be more story TIF has to Live. And for that her quirk factor needs to keep existing. No quirk factor=no processing=no energy/projection=death. A basic necessity of her quirk no matter who believes what. So who has it? Who has this self destructive quirk factor and how?

First and simplest option would be Hiro. If AFO had such an interest in TIF it makes sense to keep the original host for study. And when he started to have problems? Or when the doctor located those internal mutations and told AFO? TIF got shunted off onto Hiro so she would stay around and wouldn’t risk dieing due to complications in a different host.

Second option would be a Nomu. I mean that’s where all the clones are going and it’s the final goal of this whole operation. Makes sense to test that for any complications. Especially if they can use it to better control her. With AFO gone though? It’s Hers now. No one giving orders anymore! She’s a free quirk! And with a new body she has free rein over too! Unless of course the Nomu is high functioning. In which case it has its Own lingering personality to contend with. And the doctor? Well, he was never one for leaving an experiment without a failsafe, kinda a necessity in his line of work.

Third option is a character from MHA. Most likely Nedzu since the rat already has intelligence modifications and AFO might have him close when his body starts shutting down and he’s panicking for either a final study or cause he’s sadistic and Nedzu was a friend from TIFs time in the lab. Either way AFO has a character from MHA in the room and forces TIF onto them in a panic. And now it’s Their problem

Fourth idea is more an extension of the previous but instead of a canon character it’s either a crossover character or, my personal favorite, another oc. Could be a civilian, hostage, experiment, doesn’t matter. Same case as before, AFO pushed TIF onto someone and now they gotta get their stuff together and get out and find a way to keep from dieing of seizures. (May or may not just be an excuse for me to pick apart another quirk but shhhh)

Final and most morbid option is AFO himself. Cause AFO? Braindead. Dude’s not coming back without divine intervention or a long session with the doctor. But TIFs quirk factor? The thing she cares about? That’s stored in the Cells. Just gotta keep enough of them alive and she’s perfectly fine. Weather through a Petri dish or piloting AFOs corpse TIF is able to keep those cells alive by keeping them in her sphere of influence and Forcing them to be. Gives extra reason for others to be chasing her down but removes to need to find a way to keep the new host from going brain dead (though she might be able to use a similar method to do that. Get the host in her sphere of influence and “pretend” all that excess belief and emotion is getting fumed out and it Will be. Also a chance for immortality now that I think of it if she can will them younger, but that’s less important. Could explain why Nedzu’s still kicking around in canon when the average mouse would’ve died years ago though)

Now onto clones!

So a core part of a post-AFO story seems like it’d be running from the clones, so what could some of their intentions be?

Well it could be simple revenge. AFO made them because of Her after all. And if they gotta suffer She should as well.

My personal favorite’s that they’re inefficient when it comes to energy. Haven’t worked out how to micromanage it and aren’t producing as much thanks to cloning degradation. So the solution? Slurp up TIFs energy! She has Way to much, she can share just a Tiny bit right? They Totally won’t leave her as a husk with barely anything to function! Trust us~ and maybe some really Do just need to skim off the top. Take that excess hurting her host and they’ll be fine and everyone’s happy! But others? Oooh boy some of those guys are Starving. And they know Just where to find something.

A good one for the creep factor is they’re looking for a Mother. She’s their base, their genetic donor. If a quirk could have a mother She would be it. They just want someone to guide them. Teach them. Mentor them. Someone who Understands cause there is No One else who could like her. And if she doesn’t want to? She’s spent her whole life running away, holding herself first? Well, they can work on that. The Doctor taught them All About how to Break someone

Final idea is that AFO may be dead but his vision? All the little horrors he left behind? They’re still here. Still programmed to do what they have to without any input from the big man himself. And TIF? TIF has gone rogue. They just have to bring her back and make sure she Stays

And of course there’s more than enough clones to have any mix of these or more, but onto other ideas!

So the clones? Gotta eat. They need energy from belief and emotions and braindead Nomu aren’t gonna cut it without some very specific quirks that probably aren’t cutting it. After all, these are just the early iterations, the doctor didn’t expect to need something self sufficient for years (and maybe even then if they need to come back for upkeep that guarantees some loyalty and a failsafe). So how to get this energy? Well it depends on what kind they need and how they get it. Most probably feed on emotion and can get that by scaring others. A few likely got secondary methods of energy production thanks to quirks in their Nomu host (weather that be through food, passive production, or something else). But some? Some have to Feed. And they need a Lot. Draining people dry of their belief and emotions, leaving them permanently damaged. Possibly even directly draining off their quirk power. It might not be Great for their system, but their whole line of quirks aren’t exactly paragons of health. And the worst of them? The smartest? The newest iteration that had a Useful defect allowing it to drain energy through their connection? They leave husks in their wake. Drained people and Nomu alike, left with a festering connection that continues to supply the new clones rampage.

Now how would they track down TIF though? Some probably have secondary quirks to help but I imagine the clones spread out to avoid stepping on each others toes and to better avoid detection after the first couple rogue Nomu got killed (either by failsafes, hero’s, villains, or each other). Well, they all have the basic connection part of their quirk they need to survive, and TIF Definitely has Feelings about their existence. So they just gotta follow the yellow brick road! Follow the line and race the others to the prize (or block the others depending on motivation)! TIF can run but she certainly can’t hide

Also worth bringing up the Doctor! The grand bastard himself! The one man potentially more evil than AFO! No way in hell is he letting TIF out of his grasp. If he wasn’t left a husk, mauled by a Nomu, or killed by a contingency measure by AFO to prevent betrayal he’s gonna be mustering All his resources to get her back into the lab. Cause his life’s work? His magnum opus? The shining star of his career? The high end Nomu. And TIF is the key to it all.

Now, anywhere in the timeline the death of AFO leaves a power vacuum. The closer it is to canon the less that is but it will Always be an issue. Cause without AFO around? Everyone’s gonna want a piece of the cake. If it’s early in the timeline it’ll mainly be Yakuza and the remnants of freedom fighters, but if it’s later it’ll be the Paranormal Liberation Army, Overhaul, League, and any number of other homemade groups I’d love to go into. And the hero’s and commission are gonna be Scrambling. This kinda chaos hasn’t been seen since the first generations, and if they don’t get their act together some random group might start to fill AFOs shoes or another country might take the chance to “stabilize” them and get some hooks into their country. And what’s this? AFO left a gift? It’s Chaos?!

Cause the clones? Not the only thing AFO has been working on. He had his hands in every aspect of the underworld and a good portion of everything else. And with his death, the doctors disappearance or single minded focus on TIF, and the likely breakout happening in the lab with rogue clones. Everyone is gonna make a break for it. Rogue Nomu, escaped experiments, failsafes meant to act as MADs when AFO was fighting for his place as king, it’s a mess. And the hero’s are gonna be playing cleanup. Rounding up all the little beasties and handing them off to the commission or killing them if they prove too difficult. And when they get word of the clones? Strange monsters that suck people dry and disappear into the shadows? Possibly even get some info that one of them was the death of AFO? They’re gonna jump Right On That. Nedzu hasn’t had this much fun in years! Aizawa really wishes he had saved up some more PTO

My WIP fairy hates me. But like... in that homoerotic Nemesis sorta way, I swear.

Cease an desist, woman! (I scream into the void, knowing damn well she, being my own brain, SHAN'T.)

Cause NOW? Now I CAN NOT stop Pondering, with a Capitol P, the life of a Sentient Quirk. The trials and tribulations. The indignities and sufferings. Countless micro-aggression and out right dismissal of sentience. The reduction to the EXTENSION of another.

You are not a person.

You are JUST a Quirk.

An organ that "thinks" itself separate, in the way knees spasm when struck just so. The child you are attached to just needs to get better CONTROL of you. Your words and actions are actually THEIRS. You are simultaneously an unruly animal and strange adult, not allowed near other peoples children.

Why are you trying to follow this four year old into their school? Why are you SITTING out side a pre-school? Are you stalking that child?

You are a grown adult. Connected to a random Japanese child.

The child is expected to "control" you.

Punished if they do not.

No one is listen to EITHER of you, as you try to explain the situation. The child is upset, scared, and does not have the emotional maturity to understand why you are not to blame. All they can understand is that you appeared and everything became stressful and "bad". They started getting punished. Have to share their room now.

Do you even have rights? If you get hurt, get MAIMED, what will happen to you? Can you hold a job? Own land? Open a bank account? Fuck it! Can you have a RELATIONSHIP?

If you went out RIGHT NOW and punched a purse thief, would the FOUR YEAR OLD be arrested?

If the kid grows up, becomes a hero, and you do secretarial work... does his license cover you? If YOU wanted to become a Hero, would he be your hero partner? Could he technically sit in a corner and let you work?

If no one could TELL, over an internet connection, then surely that should prove SOMETHING? Right?

And! The question NO ONE ever seems to ask!

Could..... could you LEAVE? Do people have the right to force you back? If you don't WANT to be some kid's Quirk? You're sentient. If, unlike Dark Shadow, you are not PHYSICALLY connected, but tethered by distance?

Could. You. Leave?

Just "Allright, I'm out. The way you're all treating me is unacceptable. See ya never." And walk out the door? You'd be able to gain distance as the kid grew older. As long as you hid? You be homeless, without papers, but free.

A sentient Quirk means free will. Means you don't HAVE to do shit. It's like being born with a twin, not a slave. And that Twin does NOT have to put up with your bullshit. YOU are the one asking THEM to work with you, after all.

This? Of course, ALSO just ABSOLUTELY BEGS the question? What if that four year old grew up to be a BASTARD? Just... NO self reflection or empathy. Everything is everyone else's fault, always. And they want a NEW Quirk. One that won't question them.

So they sell theirs, buy a new one. Probably die off screen trying to throw it around.

What happens to you THEN? Pain, obviously. Like... massive, massive amounts of pain. You ARE a Quirk. You're being ripped out by your metaphorical roots. By the NERVE ENDINGS. But? Do you... for lack of a better word, "reset"?

Are you back infront of "your" person? Or do you stay, safely, where you are? Both would be fascinating, honestly. Because I imagine All for One? Does NOT get sentient quirks often. If at all.

They'd sooner kill themselves.

After all, if your choice is "kill yourself and your beloved twin" or "be ripped apart and watch them die horribly, then be used to go against everything you both stood for"? You weep and promise to make it fast.

Then you make it fast.

It's... really annoying, I'd imagine, for All for One. It's not necessarily that he WANTS a sentient Quirk. But they are INTERESTING. And he likes interesting.

He also likes owning things that can't leave. Ever.

So of course he'll poke and prod at the Quirk. It will inevitably be a nightmare, either way. Because EVERY Sentient Quirk has some degree of communication aspect to it. Just because the original holder never figured it out, doesn't mean HE can't.

And while your range may now be much, MUCH bigger? Because the fucker is strong as hell? How useful is that... if he can talk to you when ever HE feels like it? Day or night. 24/7.

And that's assuming you don't reset. God help you if you reset. Because THEN your STANDING infront of, most likely, pre-face-smash All for One. Who's looking at you like he just won a Mildly Interesting Prize and you would PREFER HE NOT. But what are you gonna do?

Walk out again?

You think THAT'S an option here?!

I mean... you can and do TRY. But, obviously not. So like? Fuck ™.

THEN the question becomes? Would YOU go to Tarturaus. Are you a hostage? Or an accomplice? You have the same level of power and authority as a cat, deliberately knocking pages of tables and cups to the floor, but... like? Oooooh~ oh yeah! THATS gonna slow him down! His empire crumbles beneath the sheer MIGHT of your petty inconveniences!

*trips the doctor again*

Fffffuck you.

How Hollywood Would Ruin The Dream SMP (Pt. 1/??)

I’ve seen many takes on how the Dream SMP would be ruined if it ever became a Netflix show, so I decided to make my own! (THIS IS PARTIALLY HEAVILY BASED ON @wooteena, @tokenducks, & @clairedreems‘s LISTS [some points are direct quotes from their lists], SO PLEASE CHECK THEIR POSTS OUT FIRST!)

The discs wouldn’t have any sentimental value and would just be used for a petty, never-ending conflict between Tommy and Dream

Niki would be that one female character everyone has a crush on

Other than that she’ll only exist to be Wilbur’s love interest

This will be an important arc in the old L’Manberg days

Technoblade would have no redeeming qualities

Wouldn’t go in-depth on his morals because “the protagonist [Tommy] has to be right”

He’d probably be the “edgy lone wolf” that the audience is expected to simp over

Philza would either be the wise mentor who’s really just a dick to everyone for no reason other than pure entertainment or a straight-up dilf

Bad would be all dark and edgy because he’s a demon and lose his kind and innocent personality

Sam would be seen as this mysterious, looming figure that everyone is intimidated by and lose his caring, “gentle giant” personality

Eret’s usage of all pronouns would be ignored

Eret would be either straight or gay

If she’s gay, she would have all the stereotypical characteristics of a gay man (very feminine, always flirting with other male characters, making comments about his sexuality and attraction to prove to the audience that yes, he’s gay, etc.)

Them being gay would ultimately end up being their entire personality

They would probably get no redemption arc/their redemption arc would be them dying for another character

Eret’s castle would probably look evil and menacing rather than a celebration of pride

Quackity would be the comic relief character with no development

He’d be a drug dealer to endorse the stereotypes about Mexicans rather than to poke fun at them satirically

He’d probably only join L’Manberg after Schlatt dies because he has nothing better to do

Karl would lose his soft and bubbly personality and instead be the biggest playboy despite being on the ace spectrum (which would be scrapped as well)

Tommy’s trauma from exile would just disappear as soon as he joins Techno

Tommy would get a love interest at the end of his story

Bonus: He briefly develops a crush on Drista or Lani 🤮🤮

All the LGBTQ+ relationships would either be nonexistent or treated as jokes

Karlnapity would either be made just to demonize poly relationships or not exist at all

Niki wouldn’t date Puffy because she’ll always pine over Wilbur

DREAMNOTFOUND QUEERBAIT

Or they’d make George a female

Fem!George wouldn’t show up to events because Dream keeps her away from the battles to keep her safe but instead of it being done in a “he cares about her 🥺” way it’s done in a “wow he treats her like a child who cannot defend herself” way [direct quote from @tokenducks’s post] [as are some other points]

Schlatt and Quackity would actually get married but be hella toxic and the show would try to convince the audience that it’s normal (*cough* early 2010s Nickelodeon shows *cough*)

Awful Bad x Puffy x Skeppy/Fem!Skeppy love triangle

Ranboo’s mental issues would be demonized and paint him as dangerous and shady

Ranboo would get a villain arc

Tubbo would be a naive baby and all his choices will be chalked up to that instead of the fact that he’s a kid

Fundy’s tragic character arc will be infantilized and his relationship with Wilbur will be heavily romanticized as “aww he’s got daddy issues uwu 🥺”

Same with Sapnap’s character

E.g. He’ll feel betrayed when he finds out Dream doesn’t care about him but won’t really do anything about it

Or he’ll just kinda just be there and not have much plot relevance

Niki will finally get her own arc about coming to terms with Wilbur’s death but it will ultimately end with her ending up with Jack Manifold

The show won’t have the blurred morality theme that makes every individual character interesting and will instead paint all the characters as either right or wrong

Alyssa will be that one female character whose entire personality is being a strong independent woman (even though she was only around for the early days of the SMP before any real lore happened) and will disappear before the disc saga and never brought up again

Quackity, Fundy, and/or Ranboo would be killed off/not get a happy ending

Callahan, Ponk, and Antfrost will not exist

Mexican Dream will exist but will unironically be played by a white guy

The only characters that will pretty much stay the same are Punz and Purpled, only they’ll be less likeable and Purpled will be aged up

In the end, it would be revealed that Dream has some tragic backstory that made him the way he is and will immediately be let off the hook because “yeah he was an awful person who did awful things but he has a sad past so it’s fine 😭”

The show will be cancelled mid-season 3 because either the writers will feel that the plot’s taking too different of a turn or they’ll get sued for ripping off Stranger Things

There will probably be a part 2 (I didn’t even get started on Wilbur’s character) but it’ll help if you leave suggestions of your own so I can add them to the next part!

[also don’t forget to check out @wooteena, @tokenducks, and @clairedreems’s posts!]

ᴠᴀʟᴇʀɪᴇ ᴘᴏᴡᴇʟʟ [template here]

some commentary/clarification under the cut:

These are basically where she's at during the events of the game, but naturally, stuff changes as her circumstances change; e.g. cooking and creativity go up when she and Goro get their eventual quiet retirement.

Body • Beauty and style are obviously hella subjective so I just went with my personal opinion here, lmao. I debated trying to find some objective middle ground and then decided fuck it, she's a babe, I love her little crop top sweaters and dressing her in all black, I just love her, 10/10 gorgeous, magnificent, showstopping, etc etc.

Skills • I went back and forth on a one or zero for seduction. Sexy seduction would not be her first play, but I feel like people who are naturally charming tend to be naturally seductive to some degree as well so I landed on one. • "If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all." - Valerie's life motto basically

Mind • Pacifist vs violent: Valerie would generally prefer to not hurt people whenever she can, but she's also not really going to think twice about cracking open a can of whoop-ass when the occasion calls for it. • Ambitious: She's not ambitious in the sense of wanting to be rich and powerful, but she does have goals for a certain kind of life and feels motivated by an awareness of her potential that keeps her working hard.

Social • Honest vs deceptive: Valerie prefers to be honest, but it's a luxury she doesn't always have and she definitely picked up some shadiness working in counter-intel. • Leader vs follower: She does not actively try to put herself into leadership positions, but being competent, charismatic, and decisive, she often finds herself in a leadership role, officially or unofficially. • Political vs indifferent: Valerie is not blind to the injustices of Night City, but she does tend to feel like fighting against them is a losing battle so she doesn't invest a lot of energy into any particular cause. • Cute and scary: I mean, her smile and doe eyes are adorable, but she's also terrifying when she's taking out everyone around you with precise headshots, so yanno. Depends on who's asking. • Fun: Also kind of depends on who's asking. According to Johnny? Zero fun. According to her Watson crew? About 75% fun. According to Goro? 100% fun. 👀

Beliefs I didn't realize until doing this that Valerie really doesn't believe in much, lmao. • Higher power and fate/destiny: She's not entirely closed off to the idea that there's some kind of guiding force in the universe, but either way is not terribly important to her. • The luck thing is a little bit tongue-in-cheek and her wallowing in self-pity for constantly finding herself in shit situations that often feel out of her control. • The good vs evil thing is a little complex--She generally thinks it's about choice and people having the right circumstances to make the right choices, but she does see people like Fingers and Woodman and just think they're inherently sacks of shit who would be awful no matter what.

Priorities • Family: Being the only child of two parents who have been deceased for over a decade and with no other close relatives made Valerie not very family-oriented, to say the least. • Love: This one was kind of a back-and-forth for me, too. Valerie wasn't actively seeking romantic love, so in that regard, it wasn't a priority, but once she realized she caught feelings for a certain someone, that changed. • Praise: Compliments make her kind of uncomfortable, but also who doesn't like to hear nice things about themselves every now and then? • Power: Valerie just wants power over her own life. • Wealth: Similar to power--She just wants enough money and resources to not have to worry about them with a little extra for the occasional indulgence. • Others' Opinions: Valerie isn't gonna lose any sleep over someone not liking her, but she's also hyperaware that in merc work, reputation is everything. She can also be a little sensitive to people misconstruing her intentions.

Same anon as before!

I 100% believe Ric favours Josie over Lizzie bc she takes after Jo most. Plus he never gave her ANY punishment for killing Alyssa, Lizzie in the merge, and nearly killing Hope.

And it was hella shady he called Hope (a young girl) a ticking time bomb. And if we're being honest; ableist too. But then changed his mind once he realized he could manipulate her into a guard dog for the girls just incase she turned "dark" (look how well that turned out lmao)

Honestly if one person could pull emotion out of Hope it's lizzie. Not only do they have complex family situations but connect with the fact that they're mentally ill people who always try to change for the better.

100% agree with all of this! I don’t dislike Josie at all. I think she’s great but Lizzie holds a special place in my heart. Like sis has been tossed aside by her own father, for reasons I think might relate to Kai, bullied by her sister and her sisters partner and lied to.

Alaric always saw Niklaus as his personal devil and adversary when Klaus really did not give a rip about him(Also just a quick thing: Hayley was wrong to send Hope away just because she was scared of Elijah). Hope has been told her whole life that she has to be the better person, be the bigger person. Any negative emotions were her fathers influence. Any rage she felt was her father, who was a bad bad man.

Let’s all remember that Alaric is not a hero, but a man that looks at little girls as weapons.

I know this isn’t a popular theory, but I simply cannot shake the feeling that Sharon is undercover.

Her personality is completely different from CA:TWS and CA:CW down to her swearing a ton now when she didn’t back then. She called the superhero thing hypocrisy and a joke when it’s something she threw away her life for in CA:CW. And she’s being HELLA shady in TFATWS to the point casual viewers think she’s the Power Broker.

What I think happened was Sharon really did become an enemy of the state and had to flee to Madripoor. But then a spy agency (perhaps CIA, maybe SWORD) reached out to her and offered her a pardon for a deep cover op to take down the Power Broker. She already has the perfect cover for being there -- being abandoned by her country for treason.

She was following Sam and Bucky around the second they got to Madripoor, looking out for them and sniping anyone who posed a threat to them (Selby, the thugs chasing them down, etc.) Zemo even described it as them having a “guardian angel”. Then, she’s supposed to be mad at Sam and Bucky and be a criminal now, but IMMEDIATELY help them hide from bounty hunters and track down Nagel. But she refuses to go with them back to the states and instead gets in a car with her partner and says “we have a problem”. People took this to mean she either was the Power Broker or was working for him, but I think her driver is her undercover handler and she’s trying to get word back to her boss that Nagel is dead and Zemo escaped prison.

And finally, we’ve seen from set photos Emily is in a pants suit in one of the final episodes of the show. Sharon would only be dressed like that if she was back at work as an agent, but there simply isn’t time for her to get a pardon from Sam and then be rehired by an agency all in one episode. I think she’s already back working an in the last episode she merely drops her cover and goes back home.

Remember that when we first met Sharon she was undercover pretending to be a nurse named Kate. This is what she does.

GOSSIP GIRL, EP. 5 REACTION & REVIEW

alright

this episode was pretty good, i'm here for this vibe if they continue with it. lots of shit happened, i have feelings about it so lets go!

(this episode also helped me discover i really am a horrible person lol)

ADULTS:

NICK X KATE: Nope! Full stop, don't want it. Bitch you nasty for being friendly with him while posting about his daughter. Nick x Davis is the true otp.

JORDAN & CO: JAIL. Plain and simple, ya'll enjoying this too much. Jail. Please. I beg. Ya'll are sick. A gun in a school and you're Bruce Wayne? Bitch.

KATE: As stated above and addition, I started to be cool with you. You still have to go jail but after serving time, I might be cool with you afterwards. Then you flip flop again went back to doing the worst. Limiting the comments doesn't help. Raggedy.

RAFA: PRISON. And let me tell you, my boy, Aki, he got Fox News in the back of his pocket so, step the fuck back. That's why Max figured yo ass out. GO TO PRISON. PRISON. And he tried to play him for a fool at the end. Prison isn't enough, vanish.

KIKI: SIS! You gotta get it together for your daughter. She can't be the more but, I feel you. Do better, be better. It's not as easy as just saying it but if you have family you can rely on, start to rely. You're daughter her habits from you.

OUR KIDS:

JULIEN: BIG SISTER ENGERY THIS EPISODE. I'M LOVING IT AND LOVING IT. I think she can stop trying a bit now and but I'm here for the connection, I'm here for it all. Quick thinker, knew the circle wasn't tight. She wasn't really there for Audrey but she has been, I think she just got caught up. Since Zoya moved there, they haven't had the chance to just be sisters, to just love each other without any drama. They have not only the past month to make up for but years and she wants to do right by Zoya. I'm glad she realized at the end that, she needed to be there for Audrey but I'm not upset because I get it. I also LOVE that she finally, stood up to Monet and say and get wit it or get it out. Boom. I've been waiting.

OBIE: I wanna ride hard for you because people keep talking about your hair line. I think you need to learn that relationships will have ups and downs and it won't be perfect all of the time. I feel like Obie is chasing perfection, no fights, no problems, just coasting and it won't happen, it'll never happen. Do better. That being said, I'm glad we got something from Obie. I'm glad we got to see him being the Prince of New York. It's hella shady that you didn't just come out with the truth and you wanted to do a song and dance but Obie is doing more and using that name so yes, give me character stuff.

MONET: BYE. No, but really. Amazing one liners as always. I liked the little fight with Julien, I felt a bit of distress, I'm into it. While I did expect her to cross Julien, I didn't expect her to cross Luna and all her hard work, that was dirty but you moving the story and shit so what can I say? I don't think Monet will go for the crown but I could see her finding someone to prop up. I want more of her parents, maybe she has a very bad relationship with her mom? Also, sis, Julien is right, you can't keep jumping clients when they want to change and do up their image. No sis, no. (And you almost tanked Julien's career soooooooooooo)

AUDREY: SIS U WERE SINKING. Okay, so Audrey isn't a character I feel that connected too. She's bitchy, a little less than Lunet but still. So, I have a hard time caring but objectively, you should break up with Aki. You know him by now and maybe it's comfort or you really want to have something. It's okay, break up with him because he's a friend and not the boyfriend you need. You want someone who will let you vent, not solve. Not see. Go live with Julien. The fight with your mom is understandable (And realize that forcing people on her won't work.) because you shouldn't have to be the back bone of the family. The dad line was a low blow, the airport thing was a low blow but you're a teenage girl and what can I say? Nothing, just don't become the woman you hate even though parents are the models. That being said, if I had seen her interacting with her dad more, the line wouldn't have been as low. But I can't tell that he loves her, we don't even get a phone conversation. Do better writers. And I think at the party, she got a chance to see how her mom felt. I don't know what happened to move but I think it has something to do with her meds. Audrey, be a boss. Break up, tell him that ya'll are better as friends because it won't go has bad as you think it will. Move in with Julien (I just want to see it happen.)

ZOYA: I don't even have much to say. My sis was popping off this episode. I got sass, I got questioning her relationship with Obie. Yes, talk about how you feel about him with the girls and go girl stuff. I really felt her when she said she wanted her own friend, writers please give her, her own friends. PLEASE. I'M BEGGING. Simon, you dirty dog. I'm glad Obie got it out but he could've said something to her. I'm sick. I'm more upset that he wasn't a new friend or a love interest. Just ugh. But I liked Zoya this episode, she could worry about normal teenage stuff for the most part without having to worry about being attacked by Monet and Luna.

LUNA: MY GOOD SIS. Just like I didn't expect Monet to turn on her, I didn't expect her to not stand by Monet. I know she was enjoying the Zoya vibe and thought it was cute, she was becoming a bit more friendly sure but I wow, yas. Go off girl. I want to see more of fashion stylist Luna, a Luna sponsored fashion show where Aki models and drama happens? I'd be here for it, I am here for it.

MAX: I was ready to box. Listen. I was ready to fight this point as much as I felt for him. So, the feeling for him. He honestly, believes that Rafa is good for him. And he was catching feelings? He thought Rafa needed him in his life because he had no family, he also has no family in a sense to him at least. So, he's really caught up in this man. And I feel so bad that he said he's sober when he's with him or something along those lines. That's heartbreaking. I'm glad that talk in the end pulled him out of it, I'm glad he realized that he had a hand to play in his friends not wanting to be around him or deal with him. I'm glad he followed them and was in on the hug. Wonderful. Now my dude, you do not deserve Aki, not as a romantic partner or a friend. My boy was seriously worried, and you blew down on him WHILE using a nickname for his nickname....sick. I was ready to throw hands, like. My spirit was not right. That was so low. I keep seeing people say that because Max wasn't in a relationship, Audrey shouldn't feel some type of way and Aki is just letting his hurt roll off because he's worried but while you didn't have a duty in the relationship, you had a duty as a friend, to both of them. You ghost for a week and say nothing, no talking about the blow up or the outing and you running with this little stanky thing, you try to ease back into the group, no. And you still don't deserve Aki's time. Like. My dude did not hit you up after the kiss, he was not checking for you on that dating app, he was interested in other mens, you sat between the couple. Okay. He had been checking on you from jump. Just no. I'm sick of the shit. Never step to my boy like that again.

AKI: MY boy. Lemme get this out the way. You need to listen, not solve or give perspective. Like, she doesn't need it. I get your friends in danger but express how serious you think this is to her. I get that a long-distance relationship might not bother you and you think things will work out because there are bigger problems but talk to her. Re-assure her. Or break up with her her. As I said before, ya'll will not hate each other if you break up. And learn to just, even, pretend or something but you struggle in this aspect. Do better. That being said, Aki, episode MVP. He said, something is off, take him down. My perfect himbo man, said not my watch. And listen, you can't be as pushy because people don't respond but I'm glad you were on it. You knew. You said, I'mma run up on this man and you did. Yes. That being said, stand up for yourself, this boy does not deserve your energy. I get it. You might have a crush, this is bestie but bestie has not been treating you right for a while. And this was a new love. You're too loving, let some of that going at Rafa energy pop out around the friend group. But you a king and you care so much, just re-focus for now. Find you a cute lil thang and make the boy jelly. I need this resolved before I can accept anything canon, fanfics is where I'll be. But overall, Aki was making moves, you gotta learn something from the right wing media mogul.

GROUP: I finally feel like I talk about them as a whole. I wish they would've shown the others being upset by Max's ghosting because ya'll acting lowkey outta pocket and I didn't see anyone but Audrey and Aki check for this boy. Like, do you really care? But he fit into the group hug at the end. I know Monet saw a rising star in Zoya at the bar place, you make this a powerful DUO. YOU KNOW YOU WERE FEELING HER. Luna and Monet roll their eyes Audrey but ya'll bet not play like the three of ya'll don't enjoy gossip, fashion, talking about people and lowkey making fun of Zoya's newbie-ness together. Honestly, I'm happy we got more group interactions and little moments, I can start to kind of see how they were friends for a while even if all of them aren't close.

Random Thoughts:

how was your son missing for two weeks on and off and there isn't more panic, you different but oh no heartbreak

aki is so loving towards everyone's parents, i love it

i also love that he assumed max was with aki

audrey as the child as it worse but her kiki's acting makes me feel for her more lol

the two girls were a bit of fun, i'd like to see monet take them down or build them up for fun

"i'm chuck bass" + the lil pull was great

i feel like max was already thinking about them becoming more when he mentioned audrey pushing him out but i'll take crumbs so he was probs just thinking about sex or the group as a whole

kate get out of nick's life, nick keep her out

zoya stop talking to that woman

jordan eww no, you can have kate

i'll ship obie and aki to get aki with someone that likes him and loves him, they talk, they have do something, i'll take it, whatever

i want throuple and i want akimax but not like this, i can't take the threesome scene unless max say's sorry and aki ducks him for half the episode if it's not that, i don't want it

maybe it's the start of a dream and it ends

(i do really want the ship but i don't trust the writers or the characters)

SIMON, I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU

who or what was max suppose to be?

why am i getting teachers and not family, i've seen jordan just one too many times

rafa prison

obie had shit to do this episode, use the money, i wanna see it

when will a student or random party gain control of gossip girl, give me that

rafa prison

i also think i’m a horrible person because i care more about stopping rafa than audrey’s home life so i was rooting for aki

overall, solid episode, maybe the footing has been found? i'm here for it and ep 6 looks like it's about to pop off

#c;gg #gossip girl reboot #gossip girl hbo #akeno menzies #max wolfe #zoya lott #monet de haan #audrey hope #luna la #obie bergmann iv #julien calloway

The Main 6 at The Cookout 🌴🍗🍻

A quick lil HC for a hot summers day 😉

Warning: mentions of alcohol and brief mention of drug use

Asra ~

Plans to bring food but forgets

Catch him sandwiching every food together into a monstrocity plate he swears is delicious

He's that cousin that you "take a walk with" halfway thru the evening to go smoke weed

Indulges the little cousins by letting them play games on his phone and giving them piggyback rides

If the conversation gets messy or political, he'll find a couch to nap on till it's over

Probably falls asleep hard on the couch or the floor and everyone just leaves him there till morning

Julian ~

He brought the booze, my friends

Chatty with everyone, the grandmas gush over him and he gets invited to smoke a cigar with gramps and pop

Gets p shwastey early on, you have to fight him to get him to drink water

Will cry over the desserts. They're so well made and full of love, it makes him emotional. Yes, it's a drunk cry, just let it happen

Passes out in a lawn chair and gets hella sunburnt

Nadia ~

The Bad and Bougie aunt who shows up in fur and Louboutins with her shades on

Shady asf, sips her chardonnay and side eyes everyone

When everyone's kids are running around crazy she huffs and rolls her eyes

If the moms are talking about the stress of kids being out of school, she'll let yall know she just got back from a vacation overseas that her latest boyfriend paid for

He bought her this purse, isn't it nice?

Yes, she already dumped him. Don't get weighed down by a man, ever, sweetie

Hands you a $50 under the table and tells you not to tell your momma

Muriel

Shy asf. Doesn't wanna be here. If you leave him alone he WILL shrivel up and die

Too quiet to jump into any conversations on his own

All the little ones wanna ride him like a pony

Finds the resident dog or cat and sticks by their side the whole night

Has one beer and then stops because he thinks he's getting too loud and obnoxious (he laughed at someone's joke for a second longer than sober Muri would have)

Portia ~

If you were waiting for someone to start a screaming match over political policy… this is your girl.

The only other person your pops trusts on the grill

Has a few fruity drinks and then a few beers, and isn't afraid to yell at your uncle when he makes a joke in bad taste

"Let's move on to a lighter topic, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE DEATH PENALTY, BOB?"

Probably wants to feel you up a lil bit

Tries to convince you to sneak to the bathroom for a make out sesh

Lucio ~

He came in drunk and he's not leaving till he's wheeled out on a stretcher

Way overdressed and wants to start a fight with everyone

Keeps trying to suggest cooking "hacks" to the head chef

Brags about his money all night, when everyone knows he's actually broke as a joke

Find him standing on a lawn chair trying to twerk while Britney Spears plays

Breaks at least three glasses and probably a vase

Tries to convince Muri to use him as a battering ram through the backyard fence

Passes out face down in a plate of baked mac and cheese

TALK TO US ABOUT MASS EFFECT I HAVE BEEN AN INSANE MASS EFFECT/SHAKARIAN TRASH PERSON SINCE 20-FUCKING-11 AND LEMME TELL YOU THOSE FEELINGS HAVENOT TARNISHED A SINGLE FRACTION IN THOSE TEN YEARS OH MY GOOOOOOODDDSSSS!!!!!!!

I DEMAND A PLAY-BY-PLAY UP TO THE MINUTE OF YOUR REACTIONS TO EVERYTHING!!!!

you are so valid and I totally see why everyone I've ever mentioned it to loves the hell out of it

aksdjlsdfj I meannnn if you want to hear my rambling about it then hell yeah

Okay, gonna put this below the cut to save everyone else XD also- since I'm not leaving this Mass Effect obsession anytime soon, if you're not interested in seeing occasional posts about it, please feel free to block the tag "night plays ME"~

(mild spoilers ahead??)

((also for real I mean it when I say this is rambling as hell lol, apologies and no stress if absolute no one reads all this))

OKAY SO Mass Effect 1-

Stars help me, I was honestly hooked right from the start?? Like even in Legendary Edition (the combined trilogy just re-released in one "can play it on one system + minor improvements", for anyone who doesn't know) where it's smoothed out, of course it's obvious that ME1 is a decade old... but the foundation for these relationships are all there and gods I love them already.

Like - Kaiden right off the top is a delightful good fightin lad, what the hell. I've heard that he's viewed as 'bland' by a good portion of the fan community but I dunno, he's a delight and even more complex by the time 2 rolls around and you encounter him on Horizon, it was honestly Ashley I was way more meh about - mostly because before you can learn about her family history/etc, she comes off as hella xenophobic and I was immediately offended for my growing space family that she didn't like/trust all the aliens around, pfff.

(she gets redeemed a bit through further actions/evolving thoughts, but I thought in retrospect it was a bummer that they didn't flip the order there, give her a chance to be liked before the complicating factor of being so rude about aliens >:c that then she could grow from... ah well. Apparently she has a good arc but uh, let's just say I chose Kaiden at the "key junction" in the latter part of the game so I won't be seeing anymore of Ashley uh... anytime soon, haha.)

Garrus??? Is??????? The ABSOLUTE best???????????

I liked him from the start, I'm always a bit of a sucker for a rogue-detective "the system won't bring this bastard to justice, so I've got to" type and all their moral shadiness XD But he just gets better, honestly, and where I'm at in ME2 (right before the Reaper IFF mission, as of typing this, with everyone's loyalty!) I am only digging myself deeper into this hole-

-*wheezing* okay anyways -

Wrex is AMAZING I love fightin' middle-aged krogan bastard, gods. Liara is great too, I'm a sucker for a wlw relationship (playing fem!Shepard, so) - buuuut I'll admit she's a bit more one-note in ME1. Last week while I was still on ME1 I remember hearing (while trying to dodge spoilers) that her arc is really good, though. I think they leaned a little hard on the 'innocent but sexy' sterteotype on her (so despite the yikes aspect of a few of the things I've learned in ME2, lol, I actually really like the complexity that's been added to her character.)

Saved Liara first, so by the time I got to Noveria and had the standoff with Benezia there was the chance to have emotions over Liara having to face her TwT and of course, I made the questionable but quality decision to free Queen Rachni heheh. no ragrets

More than a blow-by-blow of my choices though I totally wanna take the chance to say that even in the mild jankiness of ME1 (goddammit, the Mako.... please..... please just go up this impossible cliff I just want to resource hunt-) the way that the lore, both obvious/key to main plot and the lesser/filler/background/world-building kinds... I just love it. It incorporates it well, you can go ham in the codex learning more, or just dive into the basics - it's clearly a complex galaxy (and they do an even better job in 2 of fleshing it out further), and it never really felt overwhelming. It was pretty natural figuring it all out-!

Plus the interesting implications of resource hunting amongst the sapient races, and the little side missions you better bet I did every one of- there's so much rich depth in the story if you do 'em!! (And that lead with that Keeper side mission...? Looking back, damn, clever foreshadowing-!!!)

And oh my gods, Ilios??? hell yeah. I loved that mission so much, especially having Garrus & Kaiden with me when talking to the hologram/computer, and more than anything, that last sprint in the Mako trying to get to the jump before it closed-???

yeet the boi-

Also mannn I love a good setpiece, and having to go up the side of the elevator, space-side?? such a cool setup!!

Plus it felt good having been Paragon enough (as simple as the good v bad vibe system is, I don't hate it, lol) to avoid one of the Saren fights, ngl. And the er, "second fight" with Sovereign-Saren.... hell yeah

... I'll admit I had to double check my choice re whether to save the Council. I did in the end, but I swear, sometimes the way they phrase things I'm like ".... okay but Garrus is right, defeating Sovereign is more important than these few leaders??????" woops. Listen, priorities, is all I'm saying..... (￣ヮ￣|||)ゞ

'Course later they emphasize (in ME2) that there were 10,000 people on that same ship and I was like well I wouldn't have second guessed if I'd known that, I mean c'mon-

Also I did indeed romance Liara in this one, so I got that scene ;Dc But,,,, I also knew by the end that I was totally gonna romance Garrus in 2 since he's an option then finally,,,,, lemme tell you the guilt as I waffled over whether to romance Liara bc of it. hahaha.

Aaaaand Mass Effect 2-

So I'm only up to right before the Reaper IFF Mission, so I don't know the ending, etc etc lol. That said, I've just finished every side mission I've found with the exception of the Shadowbroker Quest and the Arrival Quest (I've heard the latter basically leads into ME3, and the former is best either right before the Omega 4 jump or in postgame).

So from the start - fuck yeah fuck yeah what a high adrenaline start Shepard noooooo but also yes save Joker aH-

The motion comic too hot damn nice job

I loved this setup, seriously - especially forcing Shep into this situation, having to work with/for Cerberus, and the compelling reasoning given behind "why" they do what they do (I especially found it a good point that the Salarians have the Task Force, the Asaris the Commandos, the Turians the- etc... like, true, when you put it like that, having a similar group advancing human interests/solving human interstellar problems is pretty reasonable...). That said, I love too that it really isn't shied away from how Cerberus is nonetheless fucked up - or its at least done fucked up stuff.

Listen, I still think some messed up stuff is gonna be revealed in 2's endgame......... after that Horizon mission and the Collector's ship???? TIM I SEE YOU YOU SHADY MF-

aaanyways lol...

I'm so so glad on a gameplay level they nixed the Mako style exploration. A few Hammerhead missions are fine and a lot more focused than the slippery ass navigation in that glorified ATV, pfff. The probes are a neat way of getting after similar resources - and more importantly, having good levels and some good hubs (the Zakera Wards, Omega, Ilium, etc) is way way more fun than having a more 'sprawling' space that is.... a lot of empty nonsense, lol.

Then there's the fact that we get Joker right off the bat and you can interact with him so much - and him and EDI??? Get out gods I love them. Kasumi is so right when she says they sound like a bickering old married couple lol. I have a terrible feeling that some shit is gonna happen with EDI..... but I don't think she's evil as-is, at least.

Side-eying the hell out of those "access forbidden" parts of her that she doesn't even know.... and the fact that her AI core has a locked door access................... something's gonna happen gdi LEAVE OUR ADOPTED AI ALONE.

(Also Joker pls stop fracturing your thumb on the mute button)

Also please save me there are so many hot aliens in this game,,,,, the xeno/monsterfuckers really comin' through strong in the sequels............... doin' the lord's work........................................

In general, I love how many levels ME stepped up in two with complexity and interwoven narratives!! Like, to the point it'd be almost a drag to replay ME1, even though it was fun going through it (if occasionally a bit tedious with the cookie cutter rando planet science/mine facilities, lol). Like, just from how fun and interesting ME2 is, mostly! more of all the pre-introduced races, plus new ones, plus more filling in of intragalactic politics, and more interesting implications of all these space-faring races mixing....

Also gods WREX and his planet holy shit,,,,, fuckin' hell yeah my man get their shit together and also adopt Grunt yes good-

And Mordin??? My singing semi-evil scientist best friend forced to confront his choices more than he thought he ever would have???? With some of the best ongoing general report chatter of all the companions??

(when I tell you I choked on my coffee when I talked to him after confirming romance choice w/ Garrus and that 'pamphlet' and 'anaphalactic shot if ingesting-' kajsldkfjsldfjk)

Like, fuck, the fact that they actually dive into the mixed morality and horrors of the genophage, and you can confront Mordin on it, for good reason, yet he still stands his ground, until finally some bits of his loyalty mission seem to... affect him, and I'm guessing might set up things for 3 with him? Unsure, but either way, damn, the fact that they start to dig into it...

And Taliiiii my beloved forbidden alien wife TwT her loyalty mission was SO GOOD. I love how varied they all are?? Getting to defend her and discover what she'd unwittingly been a part of-!!

Zaeed is a bastard but tbh I love that he is and that he's unapologetic in him - and Kasumi omg, best thief. A heist?? Gods, yes- I love our couch lounge chats XD

Samara is..... illegally.......... she's an illegally powerful and beautiful and eloquent MILF...........................

(.... listen I'm sapphic as hell and I'm kicking my own ass for picking her up last aksjdlfksjdfl - but her loyalty mission, damn. And seeing how there's this interesting cultural subset, and the struggle with the Asari in that they unquestioningly accept/respect justicars, but also know that the impact outside their culture is a diplomacy nightmare waiting to happen-)

,.,,,,,T,,, Thane,,,,,

I am weak for morally implicated murder dads okay?? And that voice??? His mannerisms?????? How you first see him, and that prayer after assassinating her...???????? And his history/his people's history with the hanar, gods I love how messy it is, it feels so much more real!

Also Jack is a mess and I love her (and want to get her some therapy, omg), and her and Miranda nearly duking it out after you've done both their loyalty missions??? so good and makes a lot of sense-! Honestly I would love more interactions between teammates on the ship, but there's already so much the devs had to balance I can't blame 'em for minimizing, heh. But suffice to say I also love Miranda and Jacob, even if I'm softest for my alien crew XD Hell yeah Jacob, we'll get loud and spill drinks on the citadel indeed TwT

.... I could write a whole essay on how much I love Garrus oTL Perhaps because he and Tali are the throughlines from 1 on your 2 crew, I have some of the strongest feelings about them... but genuinely, he was one of my favorite companions in the first game, and how you find him as Archangel in two? Getting to help him fight his way out after he's gone nearly 48 hours straight fighting off three gangs alone, jfc. His vengeance quest and what can happen there.... That line? fuck me, that line -

It's so much easier to see the world in black and white. Grey? I don't know what to do with gray...

How DARE you come for my heart like this, devs holy shit

(also, some other choice faves so far from the series from him include We can disobey suicidal orders?? and This wasn't in my training manual... [in 1, if you have him with you @ th Thorian fight] and his whole.... pop the heat sink - in his romance ;Dc)

asdasdfksadjfkl like I said I can write an essay on him PFFF suffice to say I'm very looking forward to his romance scene and where things go in 3

But yeah gods I'm just gonna keep rambling if I'm not careful lol. Gods I don't even know what to talk about it's all so good and while I can understand people roasting the obviousness of Paragon V Renegade (v neutral) choices/alignments, I think they do a pretty damn good job in 2 of pushing it further - to the point that there were some times that I accidentally got renegade points and I wasn't that mad, haha. There's so much fun in the interactions that I just have a good time anyways~

I have so many thoughts about TIM (The Illusive Man) and Cerberus.... theories evolving galore............... and like, what the hell!! Omega 4 going to the center of the galaxy is such a cool twist, goddamn - though my heart still breaks at losing Kaiden (his line if you haven't romanced him?? about feeling like he lost a limb when he lost you??? holy shit.... but I also can't blame him for not trusting Cerberus to the point of it affecting his ability to trust Shepard... like fuck Shep go after himmmm) I'm really excited to see where that goes since he comes back in 3, and what the fuck happens with Cerberus bc while I love the fact that obviously there are a lot of people in it for the right reasons, doing good work, there are those that are doing the opposite, and I have a very bad feeling about where TIM will end up landing....

All that said though I need to do the Reaper IFF mission (where I'm lightly spoiled as to getting That Boy, but not how/what happens to make it so - just that it's apparently wise to have all your side missions done before getting him...) and the actual Omega 4 jump. So we'll see what happens and what I think about it from there heheh!

.... major kudos and genuine props if you made it here to the end, I am so sorry for not editing on condensing all this, and appreciate you so much ;w;

#night answers #night plays ME #(yes that's a purposeful pun lol)#((i sure have played myself by starting this series its so good aksdjflskjfd))

i think one of the other times that charmed (in my opinion) dropped the ball was with christie. making christie half of the big bad they were meant to defeat was a choice and not a good one. the implications of taking a character was abducted as A CHILD and brainwashed into believing the sisters were evil and then instead of oh i don't know redeeming her in the end have her own sister kill her was just fucked up in every way

fr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fr billie INCINERATED her OWN SISTER!!! they made her do that!!!!!!!!!????????? what the fuck????? they like. like. they like. What were they trying to do there. it's like the same thing with richard like i get it's conflict but like genuinely what is the fucking point. like. like if you want to do shady double agent shure i get that it can be fun n sexy bestie behavior one minute and then evil conniving the next. but like. not with a child soldier??? like christy is constantly manipulated and it's like oh she didn't accept us as her home and safety in one week after being psychologically tortured for two decades. lucy liu screencap tear the bitch apart!!!!!!!!!!! like??? i mean they didn't even bother to make her truly evil she was doing all this to protect billie to protect her little sister AND THEN SHE WAS BURNED ALIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. unbelievable. imo tho. i do think the writers were biting off way more than they could chew with girl who was raised by demons after being kidnapped at age nine and now she's like. twenty three. that is way too complex to like. like if you're really gonna dig into the meat of the matter and flesh out exactly what life was for her than you could literally make her kind of her own little ya protagonist like. i'm spitballing but like. she's kidnapped from a very young age and like i remember being that young i was still kinda a spitfire so she's like no no no i gotta get home idk bc this is the triad's doing but they're trying to stay very severed from the operation so they're having some lame ass demon tribe take care of it but like they're not really. it's very much we have kidnapped you now it's time to learn to use your powers for violence like this kid would Not be game and she'd probably try to escape a whole bunch so the triad are like okay shift gears so they get a figure like cole's mom (or it could straight up be cole's mom if we feel so inclined) with a son born from a human so he looks human so she’s already raising one magical powerful kid (who could also end up later being a love interest for christy) and she like. goes to the demon clan and sees how christy's being treated and is like what the fuck is wrong w u and vanquishes all them and is like hi little christy are you okay like were those guys being evil and mean come w me which would be a move strategically done by the triad to tie up all the loose ends of that fail demon clan and also position our demon mom demom as an ally. so christy goes to live with her in her like little demon manor ideally still in the underworld and demom's like so how did you get here are you alright and christy's like i was kidnapped!! they took me away from my family!! and demom's like okay well let's get u back to ur family and they go but oh what's this?? the jenkins family is actually So Much Better Off!! oh no! they look happier without you :( is it because they were afraid of your powers, afraid of you, afraid of something they couldn't understand? no matter, let's go ring the doorbell. oh what's that? u don't want 2 :( aww that's so sad. well, i guess... no, it's just a silly offer really...... but.... if u want.... u can stay w me in my hella nice rich person house and learn how to hone your powers at your own pace not like the killing machine those demons tried to force you to be but instead lived under my protection someone who is not scared of u and who only has your best intentions at heart..... bonus round if billie has a burn scar from christy accidentally lighting her on fire, some extra trauma. so christy is raised basically as demon royalty idk give her some background relationships oh so bonus points if the charmed ones vanquish demom that gives her motive against but just friends and allies in the underworld and when she finds billie again billie's like. let's say in the demon mansion like rooting around because these people took my sister when christy confronts her like hey bitch better gtfoutta my house and billie's like fight!!! and they go toe to toe for a good scene til something happens and billie's burn scar is revealed and christy realizes it's her baby sister and immediately like. complete shift. vulnerability immediately and billie's like what the fuck until christy says her full name (wilhelmina? do u think? willow? elizabeth? middle name something like. outta left field a maiden name like buchanan or rochester) and it's just like. sisters<3. but then there's conflict because hey you were happier without me and billie's like no?? no we were fucking not omg why would you think that?? and christy's like no i saw you and billie's like no that must have been a lie demons lie that woman who raised you she was evil she was the worst of the worst and christy's like hey like you know wait because she was my family she was all i had and she loved me (& for what it's worth, i think she did) so there's this conflict of the world christy knows which is filled with deception but real emotion versus the world outside which is true but is so empty to her. but this is s8 we're phoning it in we're not doing all that. which, then, of course, leaves you w the other alternative of she escaped from the demons very young and has been living like the early seasons of supernatural constantly on the run outside the law fighting forces she doesn't understand with two fist fire and a kickass attitude and then she reunites with billie and there's like of a more interpersonal conflict because billie's grown into a much more independent individual and she's already hella powerful and honestly seems to know more about the craft than christy but christy's being doing this a lot longer and she's survived a hell of a lot worse so there's no way she's gonna let her little kid sister but herself in harms way and billie's like no stop trying to baby me like i can handle myself and christy's like no not a goddamn chance in hell. the reason they're the "key" to the ultimate power is bc it can only be held by one. the other dies to grant the person that ability. that is why they never bothered to take both sisters. instead they put a marker of death on billie, something they now have to both fight to remove
