Which of the villains you think is the scariest on SPN / what do you think stands out about them?

YOU ALWAYS SEND ME THE BEST ASKS, SHAL <3

Waggh honestly the villains hit so much harder in earlier seasons, and no it's not bc I'm a filthy Kripke apologist (I mean some of it is BUT). The world was much scarier for Dean and Sam because they didn't really know what they were up against. Each season raises the stakes and makes the opposition harder to defeat, which makes the season 1-2 villain, Azazel, seem like an ant compared to the final season big bad, Thee Literal Biblical God.

But like, Azazel is scarier than Chuck. JDM and Lehne just oozed this terrifying charisma that made you love and hate him in equal measure. When he had the boys trapped in the cabin, it genuinely felt like there was no way out. Demons were just so much more formidable in earlier seasons.

The world was also so much smaller, so a threat like Azazel felt bigger. We didn't know his motivations and we could only assume that his plans were Big and Bad. Every encounter with him left a Winchester dead (Mary, and then Dean briefly, and ofc then John). Really, he came out on top during every single confrontation. He stands out because he's the first monster that none of them can defeat, and their entire reason for hunting (well, at least John's, which pulls his kids into hunting by proxy initially) is because of him.

Despite generally disliking Lucifer, I also think he makes a scary and formidable foe (in early season only, though lmao). It genuinely feels like an impossible task to defeat him too, and the boys don't come out unscathed. They lose everyone to the Apocalypse, and then Dean loses Sam.

I also think Lucifer stands out because of Dean and Sam's reaction to him. Dean hits a low point of defeat, depression, and hopelessness unlike anything we've ever seen before. He actually starts praying to God to save him, which shows just how scared he is of losing his brother, and watching the world burn.

Juxtaposed to Dean's crisis, Sam pulls through, earns redemption (to himself. Everyone else has already forgiven him (except Cas lol)), and completes his wayward heroes journey because of Lucifer. His story feels very complete at the end of s5, which is thanks to Azazel and Luficrr bookending his rise and fall.

Later seasons villains are less scary Imo, but I actually find Amara to be a fairly terrifying antagonist (I'm loathe to classify her as an actual villain, because her motivations are more dubious than straight up evil). She’s scarier than other late season villains bc she has a nonconsensual, unbreakable hold over Dean, taking one of the most powerful players off the board on the side of TFW. She stands out because Dean is usually the key in defeating every villain on the show, and he’s incapacitated immediately.

One of my biggest nitpicks in fiction concerns the feeding of babies. Mothers dying during/shortly after childbirth or the baby being separated form the mother shortly after birth is pretty common in fiction. It is/was also common enough in real life, which is why I think a lot of writers/readers don't think too hard about this. however. Historically, the only reason the vast majority of babies survived being separated from their mother was because there was at least one other woman around to breastfeed them. Before modern formula, yes, people did use other substitutes, but they were rarely, if ever, nutritionally sufficient.

Newborns can't eat adult food. They can't really survive on animal milk. If your story takes place in a world before/without formula, a baby separated from its mother is going to either be nursed by someone else, or starve.

It doesn't have to be a huge plot point, but idk at least don't explicitly describe the situation as excluding the possibility of a wetnurse. "The father or the great grandmother or the neighbor man or the older sibling took and raised the baby completely alone in a cave for a year." Nope. That baby is dead I'm sorry. "The baby was kidnapped shortly after birth by a wizard and hidden away in a secret tower" um quick question was the wizard lactating? "The mother refused to see or touch her child after birth so the baby was left to the care of the ailing grandfather" the grandfather who made the necessary arrangements with women in the neighborhood, right? right? OR THAT GREAT OFFENDER "A newborn baby was left on the doorstep and they brought it in and took care of it no issues" What Are You Going to Feed That Baby. Hello?

Like. It's not impossible, but arrangements are going to have to be made. There are some logistics.

HOW ARE WE FEELING ABOUT THE NEW DELTARUNE NEWS???!! Just two months more...

Hmmm

Wanna know would be a fun prompt.

So you know those stories where Danny goes all eldritch on a Gotham Rogue (mainly the Joker) after he attacks someone Danny cares for or him.

What if, instead of Danny, it's a deaged Ellie and/or Dan. What if Danny was hit by that one device that Vlad hit him with during that one DP episode where his powers were shut off for like 6 hours or something similar.

Basically Danny can't use his powers, he gets captured by a rogue, maybe it's being live broadcast or streamed, his tiny toddlers are there or while being babysat see the livestream/broadcast and decide to go save their 'Mama' from the 'baddy peoples'.

The Bats and Birds get there just in time to see a (or two) tiny toddlers demanding the 'baddy peoples' to give them their 'Mama' back or else. The Rogue laughs and says back like 'and how do you plan to make us?'

Then the child(ren) go full on (tiny) eldritch beast mode and takes everyone 'bad' out like it was nothing. (The cameras glitch out the moment they go eldritch so no one outside the room sees it happening)

Danny unties himself (he's been tied up so much he learned how to undo them even in his human side) or is untied and runs past the Bats/Birds ignoring them as they try stopping him and runs to his kid(s).

vbs doodle idea: toya discovers nail polish (probably by An or Mizu)

/nf!!

OKAY SO my thought process here was that an and toya are both wearing black nail polish in their BURN MY SOUL outfits, and since that was actually the first time toya wore nail polish in a card, an did his for him

[nunsh0]

Happy 2k followers @rorydrawsandwrites !!

I meant to draw this way sooner, but admittedly I only had motivation to start properly drawing this 2 days ago. I've had this idea for what to do for this picture for around a week now so I'm glad I finally sat down and drew it!!

Rory, you are such a creative person and very sweet the few times we've talked! I can't wait to see what you do in the future! Just do not feel obligated to post about Puppeteer if you have no motivation even if it did gain you some popularity. :]

thinking abt hungergames yuri... how do u feel abt madge and katniss <3 both as friends and as a romantic pairing :>

rereading a book you originally read as a young teenager when you're an adult is a really fun experience if only because i can now appreciate how insanely Sixteen Years Old katniss everdeen is. "yeah she talks to me at school and sits with me at lunch and she came to say goodbye to me and cried and gave me a pin that belonged to her dead aunt but idk if we're like FRIENDS or anything" KATNISS THAT GIRL LOVES YOU. JUSTICE FOR POOR MADGE SHE WAS TRYING SOOOO HARD.
