i also think it's like genuinely hilarious that this whole fandom heard folklore and was like "james is a villain" and taylor wrote this and with her soul james is just a guy doing his best

in my heart of hearts mike wheeler is absolutely an athena kid but i also have to offer up a concept that i think has extreme comedic and dramatic potential aka: repressed gay teenager mike showing up at camp half blood unsure of who his godly parent is and feeling insecure about not having powers and one day when he’s making not-so-secret heart eyes at his best friend and son of apollo will byers is when a bunch of glowing floating hearts show up above his head. and that’s how mike gets claimed by none other than aphrodite, the goddess of love and sexuality, and is in full denial about it for three days because he thinks it’s some kind of sick and twisted JOKE

(on aphrodite’s end, she’s upset mike is throwing away the gift of true love and keeps trying to trick him out of repression by making more and more improbable and hilarious gifts appear when he and will are hanging out. mike hands will a book and it turns into a box of chocolates and he has to fling it away like a frisbee before will sees it. they’re having lunch and romantic music starts playing. she gives mike the same blessing she used to claim piper and will can’t even look in his direction for a full day because he starts blushing so hard. fifty bouquets of flowers show up at the apollo cabin’s doorstep with a note that says love, mike and by the end of it, mike isn’t even repressed and unsure about his sexuality anymore — he’s just trying to not throw himself into the bonfire out of sheer embarrassment)

i love looking at hot takes and realizing that some outsiders fans don’t realize that fandom is something fun. nothing is truly that serious at the end of the day.

i'm so sorry, but every single post detailing how the keep issue could've been easily fixed that crosses my dash is more unrealistic than the previous one.

"how to get a sharper jawline" no thanks id actually like to have the same face as most of my family has. i look like my mother and i love seeing pictures of her when she was my age and seeing myself in those pictures. i have my dads nose and seeing pictures of HIM when he was my age gives a similar effect. i want to look like the people in my family from 200 years ago. i dont want to look like a primark clothes model i want to look like the people in my family who i LOVE. i fucking hate instagram face

whenever people talk about ideas for the "whoniverse" i always can't help but be like. but what's the point. like people talk about the potential of setting shows "in the doctor who universe" but doctor who barely has a consistent universe that's the whole appeal! the show constantly makes shit up in order to facilitate whatever story it's telling that particular week and that often involves contradicting itself and none of us care because nobody is coming to doctor who for expansive lore. the show's entire MO is that it can do anything and be anything all on its own. what can an expanded universe possibly do but dilute that

sometimes the only way to deal with your job is to imagine your little blorbos doing it. and then just get way too invested in that

anyways this is a dumb rant abt hook that’s been simmering in my mind since saturday, feel free to ignore

i think they gave hook the ftw belt WAY too fucking early. they didn’t really let him have any growth at all, and in turn it’s just made him mostly stagnant.

i hate to say this, but that jericho feud he had would have actually helped him if 1) it was waaaaay earlier in hooks career and 2) if hook never won the belt off of ricky and had never had it at all.

like, hear me out. someone else beats ricky for the belt. hook is not happy with this, and that’s when jericho comes out and is like “hey! learn from me!” and hook goes and does a few matches blah blah blah, jericho wins the ftw title off of whoever has it. and then hook realizes hey, wait a minute, this fucking sucks actually and I don’t want him to have my dads belt. hook can lose those few times against jericho, then finally win at a ppv.

which gives him proper growth! he’s not just murdering everyone in matches left and right! the boy was never taught to lose! and forcing him to lose and have these struggles after winning for so fucking long doesn’t make any fucking sense.

so in the end, i think they royally fucked up his character and i hope the ftw belt retires soon so he can have someone force him to work his way up properly into an actual championship.

Emerald guyfight or hal suicide exploration

Knew you were going to do one of these two if you asked ahdjshdhs

Emerald Guyfight: my "Hal loses the fight in GL (1990) #25" AU. I've talked abt this one with you as well as publically a good deal but it follows canon divergence Hal throughout the rest of Jones' GL and Emerald Twilight, before going into New Dawn(?) Or whatever the Kyle intro era is called. This wip splits pretty clearly in two POV wise, with GL #25-50 being redone almost exclusively from Hal's pov, and then everything after being mixed pov with John, Kyle, mystery additions, etc. Not sure how this wip is set to end however, or if I'd want to leave it at the end of the Zero Hour/GL#0 timeframe and resolve it there, or stick closer to canon and do my own vers of Final Night.

A snippet from my vers of GL #25

I mainly have the Halguy fight scenes drafted, as well as a few bits of Hal's thoughts to himself as he travels to Oa in my vers of GL 49 (as well as like half an unfinished John & Hal scene immediately after the snippet above). Decided to go with a bit of the first fight scene here (despite hating writing action) because I wanted smth au specific and didn't want to spoil the best parts of the 2nd Halguy fight (a draft I which I think I also posted somewhere, but need to edit bc i added an important plot element)

Anyways yeah. Think this is an au which will probably be split into two fics between a #25-50 Hal pov fic and a rotating pov response to the aftermath and all that comes with it, from the povs of the surviving old + new GL characters.

Hal Suicide Exploration:

This is just a vague idea but I'm p sure I read GL (2011) #18 [aka Hal's talk w Tomar-Re's spirit and following suicide to escape the black ring] around the same time Knight Terrors was being released irl, which left a few thoughts in my head. While I haven't actually read the green lantern knight terrors stuff or any of the event, the vibes stuck with me, especially that one panel with Hal being dwarfed by the giant apparition of himself as Parallax. So I like to think that this idea would really focus on him being trapped in some sort of nightmare or nightmarish realm mirroring in some way GL (2011) #18 with figures of his dead friends and just following up on the threads of this pattern of suicidal behavior as well as like guilt and responsibility over stuff like parallax (Among other things). Something where he has to say what he already knows aloud in order to fight it. Quite likely literally as I may have him be hunted a bit by the figure of parallax (only to dispel it by claiming the apparition as false and parallax as his own actions

if only i was a fly on the supermegaplex wall

now that a day has passed and they still havent said ANYTHING (except matt’s tone deaf concert tweet), i’m imagining the most insane and chaotic fallout. i hope they rip each other to shreds. theyre literally making the situation worse the longer they wait to say anything but maybe they deserve it. they should go ahead and halt their plans to move into a new and improved supermegaplex because 95% of the patreon is ready to cancel, even patrons who only commented jokes under every post are writing their essays. i feel more disgusted as time goes on and no amount of corporate style tweets will fix this.
