#but they parallel eachother and are both so so so very traumatised

[fandomsnrambles]

Similarities between Lloyd and his uncle are so cool and heartbreaking.

I mean they both share blonde hair but theres also a lot of narrative parallels, for example, when Wu was 9 he broke a serpentine treaty and nearly caused a war. When Lloyd was 9 he opened the serpentine tombs.

Wu and Lloyd also get betrayed. Think Harumi and Aspheera as a consequence to their actions with the serpentine.

They both suffer from high expectations. Wu with his father and living up to his expectations of being better because he blames himself for his brother’s venom and Lloyd facing high expectations as the green ninja. Both face them at a very young age!

Both of them fight Garmadon. I’m thinking of the battle between brothers and the prophesied final battle.

And now… Lloyd seems to be paving the way to parallel his uncle with their first students by placing high expectations on them and making them resent them. (If it wasn’t clear i’m talking Morro and Arin)

And they both do this because of generational trauma and expectations. Dragons/oni war -> FSM -> Wu and Garmadon -> Lloyd (and Morro) -> Arin

HI FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THERE ARE OTHER DAAN/O'SAA SHIPPERS OUT HERE????? PLEASE TELL ME ALL OF YOUR THOUGHTS IM FUCKING DESPERATE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BEGGING YOU

My little fucking guys

Im so fucking bad when it comes to writing hcs or character analysis. Im going to try it out but i hope someone who’s a writer and whos interested this pairing gets to explain it all better than i can.

Everything under the cut theres some talk about sex at the end but its brief

I want to preface this that despite the fact that im very much into shipping every time i enter a new fandom i dont think any termina characters were able to directly confess their feelings to eachother. They simply have too much going on in mind, too busy surviving or hardly trust eachother. Despite the amount of events happening, i think only 3 days is super short amount of time for these guys to truly be sure of their feelings for eachother and dont have time to think over it ( only Samarie truly makes sense to me cuz she knew Marina before that even if its one sided)

Their parallels

Both of them were doomed to grow up fast in order to survive because of political and religious circumstances that neither had control over. Daan lost his family because they were fervent Sylvian worshippers, and Osaa grew in the chaos of the religious wars ravaging his country (perhaps that's how he lost his father in the process, but that's just a theory). Also, their respective situations parallel each other as they focus on both the traces of the old gods Sylvian (Daan’s parents being bunnymask cultists) and Gro-goroth (war and chaos in Abyssonia). It doesn't mean anything in particular about the characters themselves, but these two old gods did complete each other.

They both had an advanced education with Daan being an apprentice butler and modern medicine while O’saa studied spirituality and religion.

During adulthood, they both went through unspeakable horrors. For Daan, it was war; he only managed to keep his sanity with the letters he exchanged with Elise. For O'saa, it was being haunted by nightmares and his exploration of the dungeon of fear and hunger. These events traumatised them, and they had their own ways to cope with them, but Daan is visibly depressed.

Both seem to have an interest in fashion as they are self conscious on the way they dress. (Daan hates dirtying his clothes and O’saa likes being complimented on them)

Oh so youre both men with two “a ” in your names

Interpretation and headcanons

-O'saa had several people unknowingly open up about their problems at the confessional booth. Daan, who was wandering alone in the church with his thoughts eating him up, decided to give it a go, even if he wasn't religious, even if no one would respond. Part of him felt like it was sort of therapeutic. But to his surprise, someone did respond on the other side of the booth. Daan’s interest perks up when he notices the lack of professionalism from what he would assume to be a priest. They were judgmental and cold, but also understanding and interested at the same time. The rational thoughts of someone who doesn’t follow a specific belief and has their own morals they want to stand by. Yeah nothing like a priest Daan also hears some sort of familiarity with the voice and slowly realises who owns it. Daan would start playfully answering questions until O’saa couldn't keep up his identity. Unlike the other participants, he doesn't come out of the booth laughing; it’s just Daan looking at him smugly while the yellow mage’s expression is between disappointment and irritation. But regardless, they did have a nice talk in there, not that either of them would admit it.

-tbh a lot of their relationship is a back and forth one of them making a joke, the other roll their eyes and they would reply with “why are you always so serious???”

-O’saa secretely likes making Daan laugh. He keeps telling himself because his humor is more of his taste but its mostly cuz Daan always looks so gloomy

-Actually, these two don't know how to express their emotions. Daan sees how distant O’saa is from everyone and kind of wants him to be able to settle in with the group. O'saa, who doesn’t like to show his sympathy, still tries to make Daan laugh at times because he seems worryingly miserable and sad (his own jokes tend to make him laugh more than Daan, however). They just try to cheer each other up in the most complex brain gymnastic game by poking fun and making bad jokes with the worst timing possible, which mostly confuses the both of them more than anything else.

- O’saa doesnt like Daan’s smoking and drinking habits. But he does admit that it gives him a certain charm and the drinks he makes for him

-When O’saa revealed the identity of the Sulfur god to Daan there was this sting of empathy he felt for him despite Nas’hara’s scolding. And didn’t want to reveal to much not just for the sake of forbidden otherworldly knowledge but to spare him from such heavy info when he’s already going though so much grief.

-Daan was, deep down, extremely grateful for O’saa sharing his knowledge. When they met later, he insisted on taking care of O'saa's wounds after he was shot by August’s arrows. But O’saa is always on guard and asks Daan to take his vest off while he holds on to it and his scalpel. He will grab the back of his neck, warning Daan that If he tries anything funny, he will deal him a fatal blow. Despite the fact that it was supposed to create tension, the two were never this physically close to each other before…

-Daan would notice O’saa fragrance and Osaa would notice Daan’s lipstick

-Now sex is a difficult topic. Something that forces them into a state they so desperately tried to avoid their whole lives. The feeling becoming undone by sharing something with someone special or showing vulnerability. A primal feeling, feeling alive. They had a quick fuck to release steam. They try to convince themselves that its for personal satisfaction or giving a helping hand but it ever hardly felt like that. They still had this connection they refused or couldn’t to share with spoken words. It never went too far, but it was never bad. Quite the contrary, the sex was good but always too short

-O’saa realised he had developped a worshipping kink because of Daan. But Daan noticed it much earlier.

Supergirl season 5 episode 7

Ok, this one hit me right in the feels! How very dare they do this and tug at my heart strings!

First off Lena just sat casually waiting for Levaithan to come, she really doesn't care about herself much anymore does she?

Hmmm.... is a it just me or is Hope being way more concerned than an AI should be? I have an inkling Eve is manifesting her way through. Hope sounded way to anxious and human when asking Lena not to provoke Levaithan and the dangers of them.

What the heck was that presentation even about?

Ok NO Kara and Jonn! Malefic was a child who was locked up foe beinf different by his own father, banished to what is essentially Hell, abandoned by his brother, who then decided it was a fab idea to erase his very existence from everyone including himself! Malefic didn't deserve to be once again banished to the phantom zone regardless of what he did. 'To dangerous to be kept contained on Earth?' So let's send him back to hell? Yeah Kara and Jonn can f**k off with that.

Finally! A bit more about Levaithan and creepy granny being told off! "She is a Luthor' even Levaithan lackies recognise Lena's talents!

Ok, so Levaithan has been around since the dinosaurs, from what I gather they try to 'fix humanity every now and then. Is this different to Lena's plan to stop humans harming eachother? Or Myriad and Astra, or even the DEO and Kara taking it upon themselves to deal threats? Kara does take on a lot authority and makes decisions on behalf of Earth, usually without consulting Earth. Seems to me everyone has their own ideas on how to 'fix' or 'deal' with potential issues, they just don't go about it the same way.

🤣 snowflake generation "does that mean they melt?" Yes Rama Khan that's pretty much EXACTLY what it means, one wrong word and they melt into a puddle crying 'offended'.

So I'm thinking Blondie is going to team up with Lena since they seem to have the same idea, they don't want brute force.

That trial of Lena's and her being saved happened far to quickly. Also NO WAY did Kara get there that fast!

Aww Brainy! 'Earth Benders' 🤣

Aww I miss Brainy and Lena together.

Sooo.... Supergirl just debunked Christianity and Noahs arc 😅 subtle lol

Why is Kara shocked that someone could be thousands if years old? I mean unless someone kills her SHE is going to be thousands of years old.

Lena is being so OBVIOUS right now I feel like slapping Kara because 'for God's sake Kara!! Lena isn't OK and that is not how she usually acts! Yes i know the dynamic has changed before you all yell at me, BUT there's a difference between not being OK and blatantly lying! Katie is so obvious 😅 it's like watching Morganas evil smirk everytime someone turns away from her.

I said it the other day and I'll say it again! It's SICK that Superman and Supergirl keep dangerous world destroying weapons as trophies of their 'victories'. Those things should be destroyed!! 'We keep things there that can harm us' Because why would we destroy those things? Sure that won't come back and bite us in the ....Ohhhhh.

Why is Lena acting like she doesnt know what the fortress is? Lena YOU WERE THERE!! you stood there, yelling at your mother for shutting the portal and leaving Supergirl on the Daxamite ship! Ugh!

Lena's obviousness is obvious!

"A Luthor in the fortress of Solitude" 😂😂 Lena is trolling herself and Kara at the same time!

Oh... Jonn you remembered MURDERING Manchester Black? Glad you remembered!

Ok Myrnn is awesome! But also sucks for how he treated Mal!

Why is Jonn, or Kara etc forgiven for all things by the audience and the characters? What Jonn did to Mal was horrific, his murder of Manchester was horrific but he gets to have a chat with dad and all is forgiven!

Finally!! An explosion actually caused some issues!

Hahaha even a concust Alex wakes up with perfect hair 😂

Yeah the CGI in this episode kinda sucks!

Lena is trolling Kara so much! And Kara is starting to remember the bullshit she did to Lena!! Oh...Yeah you're right, I was an awful ass who lied to you constantly and even made you freak out thinking I was dead while you had frantically tried to save my life and I was in zero danger. Oh..... That wasn't nice was it? I see it now!

Lena 'we are far beyond those boys and their sticks and stones, let's me and you go and grab the most dangerous weapons possible!' 🤝

Hahaha myrnn playing the pro noun game!

Nawww Kelly and Alex are cute.

Oh Lena's voice is cracking, she can barely hold it together. She is broken!

Kara had taken to long to realise or even remember all the crap she put Lena through, now Lena is making her realise it all and she is awkward as hell.

Oh come on! Lena sees tech she's only heard of before and instantly knows how to use it? This is almost as bad her knowing how to pilot the legion ship!

Ok Kara is an irresponsible dumb ass! Bestie or not WHY is she letting Lena use tech here? Even Alex or Brainy watches at the DEO when she's there, not out of mistrust but supervision!

I need Malefic to meet with Myrnn the way Jonn does!

This situation with Mal reminds me of when disabled kids were shut away and people acted like the didn't exist, you know? Rather than actually trying to DO something!

😂😂 Lex's 'many human hair wigs'

Ok, I'm going to say it again!! Why the F**KITY F**K does Kara STILL have Myriad?!! 'Oh if there's one thing I could destroy it would be that' then f**king destroy it Kara!! Launch it into a bloody volcano! Don't keep it!! This is how heart broken Luthors are able to steal stuff, because Kara Zor El, YOU and Kal El are DUMB ASSES!! no I will not take that back! This is stupid!! It's like the writers knew they were going to need Myriad again and thought 'let's just have Kara not destroy it, because I mean why would she have done that to something so dangerous and that she felt ashamed of her family for making and she made that abundantly clear in season one?' 😑😑

I love Brainy!!

So is blonde ladies tech perhaps actually Obsiden Tech?

I swear to RAO there was an ice sculpture arm chair in that fight!

Again, CGI of this episode is awful!

'I am the Earth! I was able to manipulate the fortress to throw it at you when i arrived, but now i can't?

Ok, did Kara just low key say 'OK boomer' by calling Rama Khan 'welcome to Krypton old man'?? 😅😅

Lena is bad ass!

Oh, here it comes! My heart is broken! Finally the ball.has dropped on Kara, sorry it's about freaking time!! Oh Kara STOP you DID use her, stop denying it now you're both last that!

Oh!! Take that haters! Kara just admitted she thought she killed Lex!!

Lena is so traumatised, she's not even looking at Kara when talking about holding the gun. She hasn't processed this at all, she is destroyed! She's saying all the things that Kara DID do to her, constantly telling her betrayal hurts her and Kara carried on.

Oh she's screaming! She can't hold it together anymore! She hasn't processed this at all. I don't think this is all hate for Kara, it's late for herself and what she did, and she needs someone to hate, a person to blame! She isn't holding it together anymore.

Yeah haters I'm sorry, but Kara did treat Lena like a villain more than once.

Did Lena even say Kara's name at a this episode? All I heard was Supergirl.

Kara is broken, Lena is broken. Kara did wrong to Lena and now Lena is doing wrong to Kara.

I'm sorry but Jonns sudden patching things up with Mal is a bit much for me. Glossed over!

But Mal and Jonn is paralleling Lena and Kara. One betrayed and broke the other, then the other turned the tables. If only Lena could look into Kara's mind. Seriously though, if Mal can get over what Jonn did which was HORRIFIC I have hope for our Lena!

Sooo... in conclusion, good episode, everything other than Kara and Lena felt quick and forced though. I'm glad they have Kara finally realising that a few words and tears doesn't fix your awful behaviour. Yes I know I'm harsh on Kara but it was Kara who did those horrible things to Lena under the guise of 'protecting her' and by her own words 'being selfish so she could keep her' Lena didn't deserve any of what happened and she just spelt it out to Kara.

I think Lena is truly broken, she couldn't keep it together at all.

I feel bad for both of them to be honest, Kara because she's going to be broken to and has lost Lena and Lena because she's broken and had lost Kara.
