Oooo okay that is really interesting
I haven’t listened to any audios post-Two since I’m yet to reach 4’s run, but that’s an interesting concept. I definitely felt like the Mirth audio had a different tone but more like Steven was finding his footing again — though since it ends up leading into the Massacre at the end it sort of takes away the argument that it has to be nonstop tragedy until Dodo. I do like the idea that Sara is the main influence of Steven’s emotions & attitude pre-massacre before the actual events unfold — (especially thinking of the church scene from the novelization hshdjfks) so I could totally buy into Oliver not needing a tragic ending. I never really thought about it fitting…the TONE of that section of hartnell era?? But when you put it like that yeah it makes sense. To me it more felt like digging at Steven than saying it has to be nonstop darkness, so while I’m not bothered by Oliver ending in /death/ since I do think that propels into the Massacre a little better (though not necessary since the death haunting can be shown anywhere like in daughter of the gods which is an alternate timeline that is eventually erased but /still/ manages to traumatize Steven) but I would love to see more of his stories. I like the idea that The Doctor didn’t get them there on the first try & since bigfinish doesn’t need to adhere to A Canon it should be possible to sneak in more Oliver stories. But again to me what hit the hardest was /how short of a run/ that he had because it was ,, the neon flashing sign we probably didn’t need to point out in general how Steven’s narrative had been going.
Maybe a more interesting way to handle Oliver would have been leaving the anachronauts/Sara-audio thread of highlighting the tragedy & death Steven experienced but actually beginning to explore the /aftermath/ of all that — how he goes from the grief to the anger, and then the anger to the dedication (always there, underlying, of course) that he displays in his audios post-TARDIS but I don’t think I have the brains to write that Lol I’d love to see it. & your fic idea sounds interesting I think you should write it!!! It’s always fun to try a hand at fiction.
The First Doctor and companions Oliver and Steven. Admittedly, I do need to listen to these stories... Whoops!
#Doctor who#Oliver Harper#Steven Taylor#doomed/haunted#i suppose#i yap a lot#sorry for blowing this up with discussion OP#we are all just. really excited. that Oliver had an audience.

When thinking on timelines with DC and Danny Phantom, I always figure Dick Grayson and Danny Fenton being around the same age makes sense. Like, that 90-2000s tech and culture, the formation of the Justice League and the Meta Acts? It would make sense to have a time period with no basis for such things when it concerns Danny not reaching out to other heroes or for the Anti-Ecto Acts being slipped into law. And it wouldn't be weird for Batman not to hear about all the ghostly happening of Amity Park when he would primarily be focused on Gotham (and somewhat the League).
It feels like a good set up for Danny being a great mentor for others based off his own struggles as a teen vigilante with no preparation or proper support. He can finally reach out to other heroes, lend his own experiences and power to a fight even if he does decide to start retiring from the vigilante scene.
Then you have Dick Grayson trying to strike out on his own, form his own identity, and I feel like Danny would be weirdly intuitive? He immediately clocks Dick as a teen vigilante and is just there for him in the ways he always wished someone had been for him.
#danny phantom#dc comics#danny fenton#dick grayson#dpxdc#the timeline lines up better in my brain that way but i really like all the dynamics that happen whatever is set#dick wont bring danny home to wayne manor because of two reasons#firstly because bruce already went outside and adopted a kid with a tragic background he cant have another#and secondly because jason would absolutely tease dick about having a boyfriend#alfred got danny's number from dick after an incident and now they chat about how dick is doing#danny meets barbara once and vows never to let dick meet his sister#danny shows up in civvies to training excercises and without any explanation beats some teen vigilante butt#then proceeds to dump traumatic lore and excellent advice#dick turns around and sees none of it

anyway to end the series on ganondorf tp's writing, my take (which isn't canon but arguable as a valid "death of the author" read imo) is that he is at his most iredeemable AND that's because he has zero things left to lose and no community left and his goal doesn't even make sense anymore he is parasitic and a ghost and pathologically obsessed by his own godlike legitimacy because that is the only thing he still has and it has prolonged his life in a horrible diminished state in a nightmare dimension so SURELY it must mean something right right RIGHT
#thoughts#twilight princess#tp#tp ganondorf#ganondorf#sorry I am quite frustrated by the Discourse#there is a middle ground between evil bad evil bad and uwu baby!!!!!!! and it's the most interesting reading!!!! aaaaaa#even him not mentioning the gerudos being immediately taken as him not caring about them is veeeery frustrating to me#like#imo the three arguable arguments about what happened to the gerudos are#1) they left hyrule because fuck that shit (real and valid) and he would have felt betrayed#2) they collaborated with hyrule to subdue him (??? that seems weird to me but sure why not) and he would have felt BETRAYED#3) they were genocided because they stood by him#and of course we could assume he doesn't care (even if he drapes his execution sword in gerudo patternings which)#(not gonna lie is probably artists not really paying attention to motives but it's still interesting and noticeable)#but wouldn't that be like. deeply traumatic either way.#would you talk about your people to the enemies you hate. would you remind them of what they took from you#in ww they are children and he is old and had time to reflect#in tp he suffered nonstop and then rejected all connection and all community and is feverishly obsessed by what almost was#and they are not children there is no generational thing happening they are all royalties (and link!!! hi link!!) the beef is genuine#and EVEN IF he doesn't care that would at least be a massive wound to his ego#he had an ego collapse followed by a massive ego surge that's literally his canon character arc#so of course he would be weird about the gerudos!! how could he not be weird about the gerudos!!#again we are always assuming lack of interiority by default for ganondorf and that annoys meeeeeee#especially when there could be unbelievably interesting and tragic interpretations from what we get

Me, after watching Yasmine Nolastname aggressively perform heterosexuality for the 3rd season in a row, except now her act is slipping and she's desperately flailing around trying to figure out how the Standard Straight Girl™️ would act around the boy she's dating:
🎶AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNDDDDD YOU WAKE UP NEXT TO HIIIIIIIIIM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIIIIIIIIIIGHT
WITH YOUR HEAD IN YOUR HAAAAAAANDS, YOU'RE NOTHING MOOOOORE THAN HIS WIFE
AND THEN YOU THINK ABOUT Moon, ALL OF THOSE YEARS AGO
YOU'RE STANDING FACE TO FACE WITH "I TOLD YOU SO"
You know, I hate to say it...BUT I TOLD YOU SOOOOOOO 🎶
#cobra kai#cobra kai season 6#ngl this scene traumatized me at first#I had such a huge Ick that went way beyond my usual dislike of That Ship#and then I realized like#wow...they're both so repressed that they're not just performing to convince other people anymore#they're performing to convince THEMSELVES#and they both want so badly to believe they're straight#and the denial runs MUCH deeper than I thought...#the narrative really DOES seem hell-bent on making Yas “nothing more than Demetri's girlfriend”#but how tragically fascinating would it be#if she made HERSELF that? If she intentionally leaned into that role?#...to cover something up perhaps?#yasmine cobra kai#cobra kai yasmine#demetri alexopoulos#demetri cobra kai#yasmoon#yasmine x moon#moon x yasmine

well, guess who lost control of my hands again and was compelled to scribble down designs for ANOTHER Deltarune AU? yeah. me. it doesn't really have a proper name yet so I've just been calling it Changeling AU for now, I'll figure that out later.
these would be the cast's dark world designs; they parallel early Deltarune concepts in which the lightners would turn into monsters in the dark world-- with a few medieval fantasy fae-flavored twists this time around. mortals become a variety of magical beasts in the fae's dark realm, with only 'Kris' strangely unaffected... aside from the hue shift and conspicuously pointed ears, that is.
the main 'Kris' of this AU isn't the only human in town. instead, they're ironically the only one in town who ISN'T human, though not even they know it yet. in reality they're a Changeling, a fae creature that was left as a 'gift' to replace a taken human child. they can do things, strange things. animals come to them in the night, and the cool touch of iron burns their skin. they're afraid of what they see in the mirror; human eyes don't gleam in the dark, and their teeth shouldn't be so sharp. so they hide their features, and they ignore the whispers of the townsfolk, and they keep their head down.
they made a mistake, a terrible one... and they need to set it right.
meanwhile, the human they replaced is still out there somewhere in the fae world, twisted by its curse into a cornered, desperate beast seeking any escape from the realm that has held them prisoner all their life. it's said that when the full moon casts deep shadows over the woods, you can still hear their anguished howls in the dark begging for the name that once was theirs. they can never leave the dark world without it. they'd do anything to get it back.
all they've ever really wanted was to find their way home.
#deltarune#deltarune AU#kris dreemurr#noelle holiday#susie deltarune#berdly#ralsei#my art#Changeling AU#oh i have a LOT of thoughts for this AU but it'll probably still be more of a side project compared to my other 2 AUs#i genuinely just HAD to throw this concept down or i was gonna actually explode. now i can go back to Dog HDJDHD#i know i'll revisit this in the future tho because there's so much to do with it. i have SO many plot beats for it already. man#the dog monster is actually not as scary as they seem. they're just a REALLY traumatized kid that thinks the Changeling is evil#it's a very unfortunate misunderstanding that almost ends in a kid losing their face to a very angry wolf monster! whoops!#the kids are NOT okay in this AU. sorry#tho the funniest part is that it's such a tragic AU and yet it still ends in a freakin' found family trope SOMEHOW. wack.#changeling kris coming home at the end: hey mom if you could adopt me a second time would you do it#toriel confused as heck: well... yes of course i would. why? is something on your mind my child?#kris hiding a second kris behind their back: uh. about that

i actually love thinking about preS4 vinerva and how their relationship deteriorates throughout the season and how it relates to the clemvi romance and just violets character in general but unfortunately some people cant be normal about them so instead i just gotta keep it to myself
#childhood friendship to romance with a tragic ending thats about accepting new love like i just think thats fun and interesting#the whole point is violet moving on from minerva!!! which is why her bad route is about wrongly putting her faith back into minnie#and goes BLIND!! do you Get It??#(which she later apologizes to clem about recognizing she reacted poorly. and clem accepts her apology and admits her own blame in it)#but no. “violet never got over minnie” and minnie being an evil demon as far as the eye can see#maybe theyre actually both complex and layered characters who have been through traumatizing events that made them act accordingly 😱#no... that cant possibly be it... they must just be evil teenage girls...#violet ever loving minnie at all is treated like a crime by some people god forbid she struggle with those feelings 🙄#every time i post art of the 3 of them i get at Least one person saying Some Shit 😑 and its really annoying#heard my clemviminnie pride art got reposted to reddit. Fear.#and when i went to find it i saw vi lost to ben in the 2nd round of a “best written character” poll. and i knew i could never go back there#twdg#it speaks

every now and then i remember the time a few years ago, when sdmi fandom first had its revival thanks to netflix, when a wildly popular sdmi blog run by an anti said the words 'perfectly good Black woman' in reference to why you should ship [man you could easily read as white, whose arc she was fridged for] with her instead of [hatesink character whose race is ambiguous due to being a furry, but has a BLISTERINGLY antiblack narrative under a thin layer of fantasy racism, with a fun side of homophobia and holocaust denial the latter of which is directly invoked in the post], which got hundreds of notes, and i grimace my face through the back of my head all over again lmao
#sdmi#scooby doo: mystery incorporated#cassidy williams#ricky owens#professor pericles#like man i'm sorry i really do love rickidy and their dynamic and it's rich and complex and deeply tragic on both sides#but they textbook fridged her and i have never once seen someone talk about that in the wild#instead there is just nearly-always-antis being blatantly balls-out racist about her in like a dozen different ways and EUGH#while also turning around and gushing about a privileged misogynistic white boy who abuses a girl and refuses to let her leave#and literally talks about how he should have thought of hiding a tracking chip under her skin without her knowledge#and this is treated as silly + cute and kinda immature but also About His Trauma Making Him Abuse Her; and they get back together in the en#and making endless posts about how he's Cute Tragic Best Boy because he's autistic and traumatized and (genuinely!) endearing#and reblogging and celebrating and cheering on Cute Art of Them while conspicuously not shaming or excommunicating anyone l o l#you're not required to hate fred over it but god damn dude fuckin yikes#and 'perfectly good Black woman' made me physically recoil from my screen lmfao#racism cw#misogyny cw#antiblack racism cw#abuse apologia cw#homophobia cw#holocaust denial cw#the salt files#the crit files#SDMItag

related to that last post that's kinda why i think cpsm revealing that javier had died three years earlier than lloyd is poignant in a very understated way.
javier's original fate was to live when everyone he cared about didn't. he was meant to be the protagonist of that world, to face all kind of threats and survive all of them, but with no one at his side.
he's the narrative's favorite but the narrative's love is not gentle and it is not kind and it will hold you close until you suffocate under its themes and parallels. for the world would bend itself for javier to be at it's center but it would not allow him the comfort of sharing that spot with anyone else.
he was always meant to be the last one standing. fate won't kill him but it won't allow him to die either.
and then comes lloyd with his plot breaking meddling saving everyone around them and shoving his way into the protagonist role, sharing the burden javier wasn't even aware he was carrying. and fate tries so hard to correct itself, it tries by all means possible to put things back the way they were meant to be, but in the end the best it can do is to try and make it so there will only be one main character in the world. the way it was always meant to be.
it concedes. it won't take away everything from its favorite anymore. but it won't stand for there to be two of them.
and the thing is. it wins. it gets what it wants. in the end javier can't save lloyd, he can't take his place, he can't keep him alive, he has to stand and watch him sacrifice himself for everyone else. for javier himself. in the end when the battle is over javier is again the last one standing.
when lloyd comes back and the fate restoration doesn't start up all over again, he thinks it's because lloyd frontera's original body disappeared and he came back in his own body. i don't think it was that. i think the reason fate didn't try to restore itself again is because it had already achieved what it wanted.
the narrative won. not completely. not the way it was originally meant to. but in the end javier ended up as the lone protagonist who watched his loved one die before his eyes.
only then was it satisfied and allowed javier to leave its grasp. only then was he allowed to become a person and not just the main character.
a person who could spend a lifetime with all of his loved ones and when the time came, die peacefully in his sleep, knowing at least the person he came to care the most about will outlive him. at least this time, he won't be the one left behind.
#i talk a lot <3#tged#the greatest estate developer#tged spoilers#javier asrahan#lloyd frontera#i always thought the ending of tged was kinda weird#cause it felt like the main issue wasn't really addressed??#like. everything lloyd accomplished was still there. his soul was there. his rp his titles his effects his summons his abilities#everything was still there. why would the body he was in be the problem?? he's still the same person that disrupted the fate of the world#does that mean that if he had isekai'd in his own body the restoration of fate wouldn't have been an issue??#he could've changed the plot in its entirety and fate wouldn't have had a problem with that??#so personally i think his death. the even itself. had more to do with it than anything.#him dying was like. a trigger event for fate to be satisfied.#it couldn't stand having two protagonists and all of its plot disrupted. so when one of them died leaving the other one with 'tragedy'#it counted it as good enough and finally stopped trying to give the main character the tragic backstory and traumatic events#he was meant to go through.#does that make any sense to anyone. does it.#anyway it does to me so that's my headcanon ajshdksda#can you tell. i like metanarratives. and fate as a character onto itself.#can you tell i come from the [OMITTED] fandom ajhdjaadsf

Something about Buck's parents not caring about him as a person because all they really wanted was their first son back . Something about how he had to hurt himself either purposefully or not just so they'd pay attention to him . Something about how they were emotionally distant and unavailable because the love they had for their children died with Daniel . Something about how incredibly lonely and insecure and unloved Buck must've felt growing up , he had Maddie but then one day he didn't . She left to live her own life and he was stuck in a house with parents who didn't know him . He was stuck in a house with strangers . They gave him food , told him to go to school and do his homework but that was it . Dinners were quiet . The living room was empty . Holidays were tense and uncomfortable . And how unloved he was truly dug itself deep into Buck's heart to the point he had to run away from these people who didn't know him and keep running . He was lost , searching for someone in himself that couldn't open and flourish because his parents couldn't care to know . He had to cope with sex and meaningless relationships that only momentarily gave him that feeling of self . He had to get jobs that weren't much but at least he had something to do , something to help and fix and make . The SEALs tried to erase any sense of self and emotion Buck had finally let himself feel and express . And then firefighting came and he felt useful , he felt like he finally belonged , and was taken in and cared for and loved by the team like he was family . But then he almost fucked it all up because he can't do anything right , he had reckless behaviors because it was scratched into the fibers of his being where he couldn't do anything right , he had to act out and do crazy things and dive head first without thinking so that people would finally hear him , finally see him and care about him even if it was negative attention . He was born to be parts . His only function when he was born was to save someone and he couldn't do it . He had failed his only purpose in life , being needed . He was trying to fill an ever growing deep void that he didn't know existed . And he didn't even know any of this until he was well into his adulthood and was finally living his true , unapologetic, happy , loved and healthy self .
Something about that is so fucking tragic .
#911#911 abc#911 show#evan buckley#maddie buckley#daniel buckley#Just up thinking about Daniel buckley because how fucking tragic it is#Buck's childhood must've been so incredibly sad and traumatic and he didn't even know why#I was sobbing and then this spewed out so . You're welcome .#I relate to Buck so much within the parents department#His parents couldn't give a single fuck about him huh#I could really go on with analyzing Bucks childhood and how deep it rooted itself into Buck 1.0

Some people are all "Doflamingo is pure evil from the start", "he never cared for anyone", "he never really loved his brother, he was only using him, it's not like he cared for him nor anything like that".
Meanwhile, Doffy before and after killing his own brother:
The whorification is real with this one, just saying u.u
Not saying he was sane before, we know he very much wasn't, but judging by the change in his fashion sense, commiting fratricide against his last surviving family member really took its toll on him. He pretty much just went batshit crazy after that. Just look at him. Like, yes, his trausers were ridiculous since the begining, but he got much worst afterwards? XD Plus, he seems way more unhinged now than he did in his youth, he really lost it.
#one piece#donquixote doflamingo#one piece spoilers#still the best sociopathic overgrown pink chicken bird boy out there#just saying#i love him#by the way this post is just for fun#i don't think murdering his own borther really affected his fashion choices but it is a 'funny' coincidence#also yes i'm ignoring the weather difference lol#I do think his character is far deeper than just 'pure evil' though#I just can't belive what a grown up traumatized 8 years old says about his older brother who commited parricide in front of him#I do agree that right now doffy is indeed pure irredeemable evil and I hope he stays that way; it makes him even more of a tragic character#but I in no way believe he was 'born' evil#not in the slightest and at least not as far gone as he is now#but that's a different discussion i won't get into right now XD#also i don't know why i keep tagging spoilers when this is already well known but just in case

My vld time travel au is really just- Beautiful morally grey women, who have close but concerning platonic relationship with Lance, and want Lotor dead/trying to violently murder him, not out of malice or vengeance or anything personal but simply because of pragmatic "it's for the greater good" reasons and they are sorta?? Right about it
#empty thoughts#I don't hate l*tor (the censor is just so it doesn't go in the tags)#But sometimes i'll see old posts from annoying l*tor/l*tura stans and i am like#'can we kill this guy again? I wasn't looking and missed it'#I just really need him to get his ass kicked and thoroughly by the people who hold similar ideology as him#(But are also more adept/better planner then him but that's just me being biased)#(I think my biggest problem with him is that. Till the end we really don't know why he did That™#Instead of explaining anything vee el dee just went 'oh he has a tragic past be nice to him :(' which honestly?#Pissed me off more then make me sympathetic#And so many stans who'll go 'Alura should just overlook the fact that he literally manipulated her trauma#Knowing full well that her people were still alive. While still using said people as batteries and instead get back with him#so she can be his arm candy therapist girlfriend#cause he's uwu traumatized baby' while shitting on lanc and romel only pissed me off so much more#And just- we still don't know why he did That. For all we know he really was using those alteans as capri suns#To extend his life and just made himself believe that it's for greater good so he can tell himself he's not like his dad and sleep at night#Anyway the reason why i don't talk about this au is because it's literally just a tma time travel fanfic#I want it to be less tma though.#But also i want to keep the aesthetics of horror‚ humans turned monsters‚ build up to the end of the world‚ and anti christ#And Lanc being morally grey depressed manipulative demigod who in this case swings between-#'save l*tor cause it's the right thing to do'#'save l*tor cause he's more useful alive'#'save l*tor cause last time he died his mom destroyed multiple realities while throwing a tantrum'#and 'kill l*tor yourself the moment he inevitably crosses the line'#Along with his new besties#I am not making sense it's 7:30 in the morning and i have cold
