[why-is-thinking-so-hard]

I just wrote the longest fucking post and it's just the context for how my brain got into this whole superhero/spider-man cadina au mess, not even the actual au. how long is too long? the post is... 696 words...

(They're good enough at Tetris that a couple dollars in quarters will last them a decent amount of time, but sometimes they splurge and get the $12 all-you-can-play pass. The album they're listening to is harsh noise!)

okay ill bite why do u hate kaoru sakuraba sidem aside from the fact that they went from hokuto as a main blue to downgrade to kaoru. to make it less awkward that I’m asking abt sidem on ur osomatsu side blog, what sidem idols would u assign to each matsu ?

i think sideM should collab w osomatsu-san and put them all in Beit so they can all get JOBS!!!!!!

anyways i hate kaoru from idolmaster sideM. i need all my osomatsu-san side blog followers to know that i hate this man. "i need a lot of money fast to pursue an extremely niche medical research track, which is why i quit my stable and high paying job as a surgeon to become an idol while having no soft skills, physical strength or stamina, or interest in getting along with people" are you Stupid??

he's not even using his idol clout to spread awareness of the rare disease he's trying to cure (like SEM does) so it can secure funding, he sees it 100% as a job and refuses to have fun, he is actively unpleasant and uncooperative in every interaction with his coworkers because he's trying to "rise to the top". it seems like the only thing he has going for him are his looks and that he kind of liked to sing when he was a kid. why not become a model at that point when you have the personality of a wet tree trunk. or better yet why not STAY A FUCKING DOCTOR!!!!!

also, i don't like meganes, so write that down.

aw c’mon doc, pranks are supposed to be funny.

The thing about Jack's Izzy is that he was never supposed to be Jack's Izzy. It was supposed to be a temporary thing, to teach Ed and Sam a lesson, to escape their constant tugging at him to decide who he was going with. He'd been beginning to feel more like their favourite toy, a pawn in their endless stupid fight, than a person whose opinion they actually cared about. He tells them he hasn't decided, that he doesn't want to decide, but it goes over their heads every time, too focused on "winning" him.

So when it comes to it, after Hornigold's gone, after they've won, and they're asking him again before he's even had chance to clean the blood from his sword, let alone his hands, he just blurts out "Jack"

To say everyone's shocked is an understatement. Sam and Ed's shocked "What's?" are only drowned out by Jack’s own. It's not like he hasn't known the whole time he was never in the running, he hadn't even asked Izzy because he knew he'd just laugh in his face. He loved Izzy just as much as they did, but it was never the same for Izzy. He never had the drive of Sam & Ed, the passion, the potential. He was Calico Jack, too stupid, too immature, too much of a drunk to be a worthy captain. (never mind that Izzy had always seen through that cover, seen the way he used the act to keep himself safe, seen that he was never really as drunk as he acted, seen the way he played people to get what he wanted. It didn't matter. He wasn't Ed or Sam, and that's all that really mattered in the end)

Izzy sits firm in his split second decision, telling them that he's fed up with all this bullshit, and Jack's the only one who listens to him, so he's going with him. Jack's not stupid enough to question Izzy further, so they take one of Hornigold's fleet & a handful of crew who hold no loyalty to the other boys, and set sail before it has a chance to turn into another mutiny.

The thing is, Izzy never really intended to stay. His plan was to leave with Jack for a month or so, fucking around achieving nothing while his boys got their heads out of their asses, then go back once hes actually had space to make a decision, to decide who he wants to be, free of anyone else's expectations. Only, having Izzy there to impress makes Jack pull his act together fast. He's desperate to prove he's worthy of Izzy's time, cutting back on all the dicking around and making a genuine effort to be a worthy Captain for him. He's not perfect by any means, but they're actually doing ok.

And for Izzy, it's like someone's lifted a weight off of his shoulders. He hadn't realised it until he was away, but being with Sam & Ed had felt crushing towards the end, both of them expecting so much from him, wanting him to be someone who wasn't quite him, wanting him to help them build a legend. And maybe he wanted that, maybe he would love it in another life, but it's also nice to not have expectations. Jack never wants him to be anything other than himself, and it's been pretty nice, learning who Izzy Hands is. He thinks he might like the guy.

So it goes from there. A month passes and Izzy makes no mention of meeting up with the others. Then two, then three, and before long he's forgetting that he ever seriously planned to leave. He stays, and they make it work, together. It's not perfect, it was never going to be, but they have something that makes them both happy. And that's enough.

indeed my exact process once every 8 months or so

[smallhatlogan]

The reason I take issue with people calling Xena: Warrior Princess "So bad it's good" is that phrase implies that this kind of thing happened by accident (or was made by people who like, genuinely didn't know how to make semi-realistic action scenes) rather than being carefully constructed because it has its own kind of appeal

So.

If, at the time of Rook interrupting Solas's ritual there are only 2 Evanuris left alive. Logic then dictates that the Archdemons as seen during Blights 1-5 actually held the souls of the Evanuris, and thus were killed by Grey Wardens in the previous 5 Blights.

Therefore, when Morrigan completes the Dark Ritual in Origins, it's not the soul of Urthemiel persay that Kieran carries, but the soul of an Evanuris. Some theories point to June specifically.

I wonder if you could argue that Flemythal and Morrigan have equal paternity claim to Kierjune, given that he's both Morrigan's child as Kieran and carries the soul of Mythal's child, June.*

In which case, Flemythal confiscating the soul of June and allowing Morrigan to keep Kieran seems like a completely fair compromise honestly

Follow-up question - We know the Evanuris wielded the Blight and killed Mythal when questioned on it. We don't know exactly if that includes all of the Evanuris, and to what degree.

"She was betrayed as I was betrayed. As the world was betrayed. [...] And I will see her avenged."

To say that Flemythal is powerfully motivated by vengeance feels like an understatement.

And yet relationship between Flemythal and Kierjune clearly seems amicable. Kierjune goes with her willingly, and only seems to nonverbally ask for an alternative when it becomes clear that Morrigan is suffering. And Flemythal immediately agrees.

And continues to be amicable when the Old God's soul (June or perhaps a different Evanuris) is removed.

But you know what's missing from the scene with Kierjune? That same fiery, vengeance-fueled rage.

So maybe it was obvious, but I don't think all the Evanuris were in on Mythal's murder. In that same vein, I don't think we can be sure that all the Evanuris were in on using the Blight as a weapon. So I find it interesting that they were all imprisoned together anyway.

They did all have slaves, though, so we can't claim they didn't deserve what they got - Mythal's murder and the spread of the Blight besides

*(Admittedly, June may not be the child of Mythal - Elgar'nan referred to Ghilan'nain as sister specifically. The relationships between the Evanuris aren't always super clear, and I always assumed it was like a Greek god allegory thing in that myths just aren't clear like that sometimes. But the fact that the Elvhenan were spirits who gained physical forms also implies maybe they didn't have children in a physical way. In which case family ties might have been determined based on general vibe and social relationship, so who knows)
