#and the poor families impacted

[godsg111rl]

there was an active shooter at my old high school today. 30 shot. 4 dead. & I just—

[to-be-a-dreamer]

Not to get too involved in discourse but “Agatha is a deeply traumatized person who is acting out of a place of hurt and deserves sympathy for the pain she's had to endure and understanding that the majority of her wrongdoings were committed out of desperation for survival” and “Intention doesn’t erase outcome and her pain doesn't undo the trauma and horror she's committed against others; her victims don't owe her forgiveness before redemption and it is reasonable for people who know nothing about her past to distrust her based on her reputation and the persona she displays” are both true statements that can coexist.

Please remember that "morally gray" means a person is neither good nor bad. Please do not reduce this incredibly complex character to entirely evil or entirely innocent because she is neither. She has done truly terrible, unforgivable things and is also a victim of cruelty and injustice. Let her be both.

Alr so I was watching edits and came across Arlecchino and an idea popped into my head!

Danny Phantom as Arlecchino in DC also know as: Phantom the Knave Sovereign

(Still working on the name- Before we start I wanna say, I’m just trouble shooting rn and seeing what new ideas I could add with your guys input too. But so far this is what I have)

———

Ok so plot points:

Somehow Pariah Dark gets free of the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep, either because of Vlad or the Observants

Pariah seeing potential in Danny (and cause he was already dubbed to take Pariahs place after he was old enough) starts trying to become Danny’s parental model (much like Vlad. But Worse.)

It was annoying at first, but slowly over time, Pariah started taking his role as Danny’s “Father” too far and twisted. Wanting to make Danny strong, stronger than he ever will be.

Then one thing leads to another and an identity reveal happens. Except the Fentons now pretend Danny Fenton no longer exists, and it’s just Danny Phantom that is an after image of their boy. Which pains them so they keep their distance, but still help what they think is left of their boy.

Danny is sad about that- but he has his sister Jazz and his two best friends! He can live with his parents pretending he doesn’t exist, atleast not as Danny Fenton no he can’t- he really can’t-

Then shit hits the fan, resulting in Danny’s home dimension into imploding into itself. (Which may or may not be the fault of Pariah Dark)

Luckily Danny is able to get out with Jazz!

But he’s too angry to rationalize himself after the death of his Haunt and almost all his fraid dying. He attacks and attacks Pariah and observers and whoever that threatens his last family at every turn.

More shit hits the fan, resulting in Danny getting cursed, which really hurts Danny. Enough to do weird ghost shenanigans to his biology, (via curse), and Jazz gets caught up.

Pariah sees a golden opportunity to use this to get Danny stronger to become the next king.

But Clockwork has had enough and steps in. Only to be promptly sealed away by the still acting king; Pariah Dark. Which Danny not even knowing as he’s out for the count thanks to the curse. (Jazz is the only witness. But Pariah can’t kill her because of Danny.)

More stuff happens and now Pariah is the acting Father of Danny and Jazz (with amnesia) who are in a ghost normal(?) orphanage with other kids.

Basically Arlecchino’s childhood happens to Danny and Jazz. Just that Pariah has decided to false make Jazz his “bio” kid to mentally fuck with Danny (smol child, and poor Jazz).

Danny still sees Jazz as his sis even if he doesn’t remember

After Jazz sadly doesn’t make it, Danny faces off Pariah once more for the first time. And consumes Pariahs Core into his, eating him alive so no more Pariah for the rest or eternity.

Then remembers- holy shit his names Danny! Not Peruere, which ew- (kidding I love the name-)

Anyways Danny gets mad at Clockwork only to find him sealed and the timelines fucked- and with Clockwork being so weak since the seal-ment, it’s up to Danny to fix the mess (and the one that was caused by the Observants once more with no one on the throne)

And so now Danny travels around timelines, picking up strays and adopting them (much like Batman, but better)

That there is the rough outline of the story!! I probably will make more but I just need to organize my thoughts before going into finer things (and art!)

Also I’d like to mention- while in the orphanage, Danny’s human side takes on more physical characteristics of his ghost form. Sorta merging the two forms into one? Not sure about it.

But Danny’s human form has definitely changed, and the curse is the same as Arlecchinos from Genshin (although would be nice if someone actually explained the curse to me fully- cause I don’t get it at all 😭)

Anyways that’s it- im thinking about interactions with the kids Danny Adopts and such but that’s for another time 💀

Aight peace ✌️

Do you ever think about how Arya being left-handed most likely had an impact on her needlework and other tasks? And how she needed special attention not only because she wasn't as naturally gifted as her sister but because the way she was being taught fundamentally didn't work for her? And how instead of being given the attention she needed she was instead held to an unfair standard by her teacher and used as a measure for bad behavior? And how this all impacted her self-esteem and her views on being a Lady?

...I forgot to screencap Paimon and Traveler's reactions when Zhongli called him 'uncle', but their reactions to 'call me Yip-xiong' is STILL funny.

I think it's easy to forget that Genshin specifically states that Zhongli actually looks rather young, since he's one of the physically older playable characters and because his voices (in various languages) is rather deep, but the characters in-game (who don't know the truth) all see him as rather young.

I have a headcanon that lives in my head as the “Weasley headcanon” that comes from the fact that Diluc is said to be the youngest captain of the Knights at age 14, but Jean is said, without as much fanfare, to have been named Dandelion Knight at age 15.

Every time I try to check the chronology of some events and the hierarchy among the Knights, I realize again and again that a lot of things aren’t actually strictly specified… but the way I see it, I think Dandelion Knight is not just any title and might very well mean that Jean got appointed as Varka’s second in command that day, which could be the rank mentioned as “Master of the Knights”. And we know she was a captain before being Master of the Knights, so it would mean that Jean was probably also a captain when she was 14. But nobody talks about it.

Also, I think Jean is 2 to 3 years younger than Diluc. The Eroch ordeal happened around the time when Jean was promoted to Master of the Knights (I’m realzing… again… that it is not as clearly stated as I thought), so it means that Jean was around 15 or 16 when Diluc was 18.

So my headcanon is that Jean was actually as successful as Diluc and her history in the Knights was as impressive as his, with her rising through the ranks as early as he did, but it never really left a mark because Jean is younger so she did everything after Diluc.

Both Jean and Diluc come from prestigious families, so there are a lot of expectations on their shoulders, coming both from the people of Mondstadt and their parents. I think Frederica, as involved as she is with Jean’s education, might very well see the Ragnvindr heir being such a golden child, getting his Vision at 10, being accepted in the Knights early, getting promoted as Cavalry Captain at 14, and become anxious that the Gunnhildr heir could be less impressive than him… And then Jean turns 10, and she doesn’t have a Vision, and she’s good but still, Diluc already had a Vision by that time and Jean doesn’t… I also headcanon a few old family tensions and rivalries to add spice, so Jean’s mom would really like if her daughter could be as good as the Ragnvindr son…

Everyone is impressed by Diluc and he becomes known to be the youngest captain in the Knights’ history. And then Jean becomes a captain too, at the same age, but… nobody really notices, because Diluc already did this impressive thing two years prior. Jean is a young captain… but by the time Jean becomes a young captain, Diluc is already an experienced young captain with probably a few known deeds attached to his name. It’s not that Jean is not as good as him, it’s just that Jean is not as good as him yet. Because she is two years younger. She is always behind him, because she is always younger and less experienced than him. At a given time, Diluc is always ahead of her, but if you compare what Diluc and Jean have accomplished at the same point of their life, it’s pretty much the same. But most of the time, nobody stops and think fourteen year old Jean Gunnhildr is as good as fourteen year old Diluc Ragnvindr. They just think the Gunnhildr heir was made captain two years after the Ragnvindr heir.

As Ron Weasley would say: “everyone expects me to do as well as the others, but if I do, it’s no big deal, because they did it first.”

Except that Jean sees it more like “he did it first because he’s better” and who is gonna correct her? Frederica Gunnhildr?? No I don’t think so.

To add insult to the injury, I think people tend to be more impressed by Diluc because he is more eloquent. In his own way. I mean Jean is definitely more eloquent than him, but Jean is mostly more diplomatic while Diluc is more passionate in his way to express himself and diplomacy tends to be less impressive than passion. Jean is polite and speaks in a measured way and will conceal her own feelings if it benefits Mondstadt, while Diluc will speak his mind with as much animosity as he pleases at any given time. Even in battle, Diluc will scream “BUURN” while sending a freaking fire phoenix on the battlefield, while Jean will settle for a calm and pious “wind, hear me” and focus more on healing her allies than unleashing her rage on her enemies. Diluc is bolder and boldness can get mixed up with strength.

Also he is the heir of the richest family in Mondstadt and number one producer of wine (and wine is important!!!), he isn’t known solely as a knight. He is interesting to the public for other reasons, while Jean’s family background is more focused on the knights only. I think the Gunnhildr family present themselves more as ready to sacrifice all they have in order to devote themselves to serve Mondstadt while the Ragnvindr family… is known to be the wealthiest family… We don’t know if the traditional vow of poverty is a thing in Mondstadt, but it might since there was a history of rebellion against the aristocracy, and I do imagine that if it is a thing, the Gunnhildr family probably abides by it, while the Ragnvindr family clearly doesn’t.

Jean is a lot more modest and discreet in a lot of aspects.

I think things ended up evening out when they reached adulthood and a two year gap became less significant. 20 year old Jean is not behind 22 year old Diluc anymore. But it did leave its mark on Jean’s self esteem and now she is the Acting Grand Master, the second highest rank among the Knights, and presently the highest as long as Varka is away, but she still refers to Diluc as her superior (let’s not mention the fact that he isn’t even a knight anymore). What do you want, it’s a race she’s been losing for twenty years, it’s hard to realize that she was never even behind in the first place.

nothing gets me like a character with overt flower symbolism ESPECIALLY self-inflicted

[stellanix]

what if neuvillette and furina familial dynamic, but furina is the one in the big sibling role instead of neuvillette

like, neuvillette may be the expert when it comes to legal proceedings, but outside the courtroom he's full of uncertainty - when he was lost and confused and struggling to understand himself, furina was the one who gave him guidance by encouraging him to get to know humanity

and then there's the way the members of the theater troupe in furina's story quest compared her to their former director, who they saw as an older sister figure, and how in the event furina took charge as the director and was the one guiding the cast and crew. she just seems to fit into such a role pretty nicely

i like this vibe it's neat

World's worst barely-strung family unit.

I can't express to you how much I adore Weaver Márquez. The ghost in the static. A mystery not a puzzle. A person gone but still taking up space. A thing still leaving marks after it's gone.

Oh I’m so ready to not be normal about them

Look at Su and Hua. So pretty so distinguished <33

the Super Saiyan glow killed me

VILL-V LOOKED SO GOOFY IN THIS SCENE I LOVE HER

and I love how Ellie’s facetiming Eden to update her while her flight’s delayed

[marginal-notes]

Like how damn toxic would it be to stuff tiny Kakashi’s head with the idea that Sakumo was the end of the Hatake line, and it ended like that.

Because women aren’t expected to keep their family names, and their children certainly won’t, so that’s it. That’s what you get for not having a male child.

tagged by @cosmoscas to list 5 comfort characters and tag 5 people 

in no particular order bc i could barely narrow it down to 5 much less rank them. i simply enjoy fictional father figures and leaders who do not sleep enough. 

1. Dean Winchester - to the surprise of no one. I spent a solid 6 months imagining I was talking to him every time I was in the kitchen cooking etc. he lived rent free in my mind as my bestie. 

2. Obi-Wan Kenobi  from star wars. it was hard to pick just one star warm character but 

3. Elrond from lotr. fathers of all time forever, kind as summer and he runs the last homely house east of the sea!!! I trust him more than any fictional guy ever. it was hard to pick between him and glorfindel but Elrond exudes comfort. 

4. Shiro from v*ltron. he makes my brain feel like I’m sticking my finger in a light socket. He is everything to me. his showrunners did him so dirty. i cannot talk about him without wanting to throw up from emotion. 

5. Bruce Wayne from BTAS or other well written sources. he cares so much and tries so hard and is deeply unwell but we love him.  honorable mentions: martin the warrior, glorfindel, the entire cast of ST Voy, Halt O’Carrick, Cody, Kanan, Zuko, the entire cast of DAI, 

I have not been paying good attention to who has already done one of these things. forgive me if you have already been tagged. @idiotarsonist @pinknatural  @katya-goncharov   @butterflyslinky   @kjosi
