#but she has this insane power

[fucksutawneyphil]

whenever i’m like “maybe i think tara is stronger than she actually is” i remember how she went toe to toe with slade when they sparred and his reaction was to silently freak the fuck out

for the folks who wanted all of Susan Twist's casting appearances to date, here you go:

Mrs Merridew in Wild Blue Yonder

Mystery Woman in The Church on Ruby Road (uncredited)

Comms Officer Gina Scalzi in Space Babies (uncredited)

Tea Lady in The Devil's Chord

Ambulance in Boom

i don't believe Russell for a second, that they just 'ran out of actors' 😂 i am convinced that this mystery woman played by Susan Twist is some sort of embodiment of Story, the way Maestro is the embodiment of Music. the way she keeps playing supporting parts, the reference to Margaret Lockwood in The Wicked Lady... there's a few theories percolating right now, but i think she's a large part of the reason why the fourth wall keeps being broken. it's strange, how intrusive her presence is...it seems that with each episode, her importance to the plot grows stronger. she's gone from small speaking roles which don't impact the story, to directly interacting with the Doctor and Ruby, to being capable of killing characters in the central plot... is it possible that Susan Twist's character is attempting to take over the narrative and become the main character of Doctor Who herself? 👀

finally. the chimera baby super form

due to her particularly strong chaos powers, mira can obtain a mini super form with less than 7 emeralds. depending upon the number of emeralds, her appearance and personality can change quite drastically. this is her with either five or six.

if you think about it, Livvy wanted to be like the Julian that was the mask, the version that he presented to the world. but it's Ty who is like the real Julian underneath.

genuinely killing undyne in a neutral run and then walking through hotland later and seeing alphys' posts go "just realized i didn't watch undyne fight the human... well i know she's unbeatable i'll ask her about it later v . v" completely unaware of what's happened is one of the most unpleasant and harrowing experiences in undertale and i am not kidding even a little bit

Perilous Journey AU where Curtain does end up with the duskwort and successfully puts everyone to sleep except it fails because it simply makes Number Two take a twenty-minute nap and then she's up and chasing Curtain with a baseball bat

Who's the better Pro Bender?

Korra: I'm obviously the best! Y'all have never played before! Kuruk: Teach me the rules and I swear I'll win little girl! Yangchen: Oh that's cute, it sounds like you two think you know what's up. >:) Korra: Hell no, nun! There's no way you're better than me! Yangchen: I was captain of my airball team I'll have you know. You don't want to know the things I've done to that ball. Aang: Did somebody say "airball?" I love airball! :D Yangchen: That's great Aang. Aang: Don't brush me off like that! I'm pretty good! Yangchen: Sure Aang. Aang: Really! I'm pretty great at games, maybe I'm the best- Kuruk: You can go play games, we're going to be here settling blood. Korra: Yeah this isn't a game, Aang. This is war! Yangchen: It might be too horrific for your soft heart little monk. Aang: But.....you're a nun..... Roku: Just let them be Aang. Come join us. Aang: Roku, Kyoshi, what about you? Do you like games? Roku: Of course, but not the way those three do. Kyoshi: I don't play games. Aang: Let me guess, blood thirsty yadda yadda? Kyoshi: No I just never had friends, and if it involved certain physical activities I feared hurting the other person. So I never really played. Aang: I....oh. I wasn't....expecting that. I thought you'd be on team "this is war." Kyoshi: Yeah a lot of people do. Roku: So how do you think you guys would fair? Against those three as well? Aang: I'd give it my best shot! As long as I'm having fun, it doesn't matter if I'd win or lose. Roku: You know what, Aang? Same! Aang: What about you Kyoshi? Kyoshi: Oh no I'd win. Roku: What makes you so sure? Kyoshi: It's a matter of life or death for me. Aang: I thought you said you weren't on team "this is war." Kyoshi: I'm not. But I can't lose. So I won't lose. Aang: Why's that? Kyoshi: I'm a Sei'naka. They don't lose. Kuruk, calling over after hearing Hei-Ran's clan's name: Oh yeah, you don't want to mess with a Sei'naka. They don't play around. Kyoshi: If I lose, then my wife is going to make me sleep on the couch. I can't let that happen.

K but the fact that Kristen is just a regular human being. Just a standard, average person in a land filled with mystical beings and magic spilling from every crack, nook and cranny.

And here's Kristen Applebees, the first born child of typical suburban parents, born into a religious neighborhood where everyone goes to church every Sunday and prays every night and everyone has a white picket fence with a perfect manicured lawn and not-so-subtly shuns those who are in anyway different from them.

Was Kristen not chosen by her God, by Helio himself, because of her perfect average parents with their perfect average house in their perfect average neighborhood?

Kristen wasn't rich, she didn't have a powerful bloodline, her parents weren't important, there was no prophecy foretelling her birth. No, Kristen was an attainable goal. Kristen was a good example for the youth, an example of what could be achieved if you just played along and played your part.

Kristen was destined to be the perfect picture of a devoted follower of Helio. She was the poster child, born smack dab in the center of Helio's flock, surrounded on all sides by followers and moulded into the perfect unquestioning chosen one since birth.

But by choosing Kristen, by marking her as property of a God, Helio gave Kristen power. Power over him, power over good and evil, the divine and infernal. Because Kristen is promised to Helio, because she was chosen by him and prophesied to be his, Kristen wields the power to start the end of days and crumble nations with a snap of her fingers. Should she want to, Kristen could destroy the world by simply not doing that, by not ending up in Helio's afterlife to live for eternity by his side, by proving a God wrong.

And it's with this power, this leverage that Kristen holds over Helio's neck like the sword of Damocles, that Kristen is able to free herself from his grasp. It's slow, at first. Joining a 'risky' school, meeting people outside of the religion, questioning elders, researching history and religions. And she doesn't understand how much power she has, not at first, because the power she possesses isn't magic, but a divine promise and unspoken rules that govern a world that she was never supposed to know.

But despite not having magic, despite being chosen for her averageness, despite being trained to be naive and blinded to the realities of the world, Kristen is overpowered as, if you'll excuse the pun, hell.

Helio creates divine religious scholars to protect her when she doubts and strays from him. Helio creates an entire new deity and religion for Kristen, allowing her to think that YES! (and, later, YES?) is it's own separate power from his and he does all of this, not out of generosity or love, but because he needs to keep Kristen alive. Kristen cannot die before she rejoins Helio's flock or the divine promise will break and Helio would be fucked.

So Helio gave her power under the pretense of it being from elsewhere, solely so that he could keep Kristen alive until he changed her mind.

And then! And then Kristen dies! And is revived. And she's Saint Kristen Applebees now (but the Saint of who?) and Helio has fully given up on her and turned his back on her (but his prophecy cannot be unspoken and he cannot be proven wrong so does he really? Can he really?) and Kristen finds a new God, a broken God and Kristen chooses her.

Kristen names her, creates her, Cassandra the Goddess of Doubt and Night, and Kristen finally has her religion, a source of power that doesn't stem from Helio, she's finally escaped his grasp.

And yet.

And yet, Helio still spoke his prophecy, still chose Kristen and she will always have that power over him.

And yet, in his own foolish shortsighted attempt to keep Kristen within his grasp, Helio still created a deity for her, a separate divine entity that chose her as well.

And yet, Kristen is still the undying, the follower of Night and Doubt, Saint Applebees, Creator of Cassandra.

With no real magic to speak of, with nothing special in her bloodline, with no real talents or money to her name, the perfect picture of normalcy in every way, Kristen has managed to twist the divine sphere around her little pinky finger. She has so much power and she has so little awareness of it.

And also she's going to be President, bitch.
