"is it a druid requirement that everything sound so mysterious?"

[brotherwtf]

⭐

another!! you spoil me so oh I love yapping about my fics lmao

kinda spoilers for Cherry Coke and Silver Bullets, but honestly it's not too horrible

I was literally thinking about doing a DVD commentary while writing the interrogation scene in that fic, like literally I was like "squad will think this is cool when I talk about it"

it was very much a mix of Bucky's interrogation in mota and the torture scene in Shannara Chronicles. Bucky would not budge, no matter how much Haussmann was grilling him about Buck or the other guys. Wil Ohmsford (I think bro I'm so out of my depth) just wouldn't talk, not even when he was getting the literally blood drained out of him.

Even when Gale was beaten in bloody he wouldn't talk, literally rubbing my hands together evilly while writing that interrogation scene. I thought it was an interesting look into his character a lil bit, he knows nothing about the crime that John does but knows in this moment not to reveal anything or John could go to jail. His primitive brain just knew not to talk, even while he was getting beaten. I tried to keep the same sort of sadistic sweetness Haussmann had in mota as he does in my fic, just sort of horrible and you want to hate him.

anyways it was very cool to write that scene I liked being terrible 😈😈 thank you so much for the ask!!

using this post as an excuse to post this gif again (screaming at the top of my lungs)

ally's wet hot smut summer

i would try and do this all fancy but i am not always the most graphically inclined. so this is basically kinktober but in the summer and stretched out over two months so i don't take on too much.

basically pick your day and pick your character/person and i will write it. if there is enough interest i will do four days that are double dips. now, day sixteen is a free day/free space where once the first 15 are filled, whoever wants that can go for it and pick the kink and if i'm okay writing it, i will. also within reason i might be able to work a kink into a specific verse as i did with my austin and dove/priscilla reader requests during kinktober.

only rule i'd like to make is one request per person- at least until this has been up for 24 hours. people who i write for are in the tags plus, and these four are mildly iffy so pick them at your own peril: wil ohmsford from shannara chronicles, hangman and rooster from top gun and mccoy from star trek ( i do err more to the kelvin timeline/aos/the karl urban portrayal as a warning, i'm also capable of writing not reader fic with him but idk all of y'alls taste because it's not the normal fandom y'all are used to. ) i'm also willing to attempt an elvis movie character or two so hey if you want to surprise me with a request for one of them i won't complain.

day one. cuckolding with steve x reader x elvis

day two. marking with sub wil ohmsford ( double dip: biker austin )

day three. mommy or daddy kink with selkie! elvis

day four. praise kink with austin butler

day five. degradation with austin butler

day six. titty fucking with rooster

day seven. uniform kink with army elvis

day eight. threesome/moresome with austin elvis x steve x reader ( double dip: elvis x jerry x reader x possibly sandy )

day nine. breeding kink with 70s elvis - specifically big daddy

day ten. knife or gun kink with big daddy elvis

day eleven. public play with big daddy elvis ( double dip: 50s/early 60s elvis )

day twelve. virginity/innocence kink with austin butler

day thirteen. period sex or breastfeeding kink with selkie elvis

day fourteen. housewife kink with spark universe elvis and lilly

day fifteen. religious kink/priest kink with '68 elvis

day sixteen. requester's choice with possession/possessive kink with 50s elvis ( double dip: threesome with movie based 60s elvis x priscilla x reader and facefucking with inexperience 50s elvis )

ELVIS MASTERLIST // SONG LINK // HALLOWEEN MASTERLIST

‘Really?’ Austin said, his tone laced with surprise. I paused for a moment wondering if I’d overstepped. Now let me preface this by saying I love Austin with all my heart. He’s the most kind and caring man I could’ve ever hoped to meet and I was of course proud of him in all his work. I loved each and every one of his roles; his innocently cute Disney characters, the aggravatingly cocksure Sebastian Kydd, the fearless Wil Ohmsford. So the reaction I had when I saw him as Elvis for the first time was just as much of a surprise to me as anyone. It had only been a snippet, a video he’d filmed of them watching back the last take, Baz’s head obscuring most of my view, and yet it had been enough to light a fire in me. The look, the attitude, the voice. It became all I could think about, so much so that when Austin had called as normal I found myself commending him before compliments turned from mere conversation to a request.

‘Yeah,’ I said shifting in my seat, thinking of him sitting there puzzled.

‘What would I say?’ he asked.

‘Aus,’ I said rolling my eyes, ‘you say that like we’ve never done it before.’

‘I know but that’s as…us,’ he mumbled bashfully.

‘It’s just acting,’ I said feeling disappointed though I didn’t want to make him feel uncomfortable so I continued with, ‘if you’re not comfortable we don’t have to.’

‘No, no, it’s okay,’ he said causing excitement to flow through me. I could hear him shifting around no doubt getting comfortable for the show as I started to, the anticipation of it all sending a throb between my legs that only increased as he cleared his throat and said, ‘so what got you thinking about it?’

‘Oh well, the video you sent,’ I said, his voice was a fraction deeper now yet lacking a southern twang which made me stall. I didn’t know why I’d anticipated it’d be like turning on a switch, that he’d just become Elvis in an instant but I tried not to get ahead of myself, guessing he was working through any nerves first.

‘You liked what you saw huh?’ he asked.

‘Definitely,’ I giggled.

‘What did you like?’ he asked.

‘What?’ I replied.

‘About the video,’ he said and for a moment I felt embarrassment flood through me. It was unexpected but having to admit that I found him excruciatingly attractive when he wasn’t being himself now felt wrong.

‘I don’t know,’ I mumbled, ‘you just looked handsome and there was this energy about you. It’s hard to explain and we’ll of course there was the voice.’

‘Well you know what they say,’ he murmured, so low and velvety it made electricity shoot down my spine.

‘What?’ I asked barely able to get my voice higher than a whisper.

‘That I make girls feel things they ain’t oughta be feelin’. Is that how you feel honey?’ he purred, and as I listened it was as though Austin was gone and I was talking now with the man I had only ogled through a phone screen. The one whose honey-soaked voice poured so easily off his tongue it may as well have been water.

‘Well,’ I said clearing my throat, ‘if we shouldn’t be feeling that way how come it feels so good?’

‘Fair point,’ he mused, again dropping his voice in a way that made me squeeze my thighs together as he added, ‘do you want me to make you feel good mama?’

‘Definitely,’ I breathed, too pent up to even attempt to play coy.

‘Where are you?’ He asked.

‘In bed,’ I replied making him hiccup a laugh.

‘Damn, at least most girls try and make me work for it,’ he said, a smirk present in his voice.

‘Good job I’m not lost girls then isn’t it?’ I teased.

‘I’ll say,’ he said, ‘what are you wearing?’

‘I’ve just had a shower so shorts and that Van Halen T-shirt you got me,’ I replied.

‘Underwear?’ he asked, genuinely sounding as though he didn’t know when no doubt Austin would know that if I’d gotten myself in bed for the night I’d have done away with anything but comfortable clothing.

‘Nope,’ I smiled.

‘God damn,’ he whistled sending another throb through me, ‘definitely not like most girls.’

‘Tell me what you’d do,’ I said quickly as my desperation for relief started to mount spurred on any time he spoke and yet halted by the fact I didn’t want to start without him.

‘Well first I’d get rid of those pesky clothes so that I could look at that gorgeous body of yours. Make sure you were bare so I could kiss every inch of ya until I got to that pretty pussy,’ he said, I could hear him shifting, the rustle of fabric as his own words amped him up and I followed suit, pushing my shirt up and my shorts down so I could use my hand to trace my skin, pretending it was his lips.

‘I’d kiss down each thigh until you were begging me to touch you, those fingers o’yours tugging on my hair like the impatient thing you are,’ he said.

‘Need you to touch me,’ I whimpered.

‘Oh I would, tease my fingers through that slick,’ he said as my own fingers glided through my slickened folds causing me to shiver with excitement, ‘you doing this mama?’

‘Yes,’ I breathed earning a grunt of appreciation as I heard his own hand start to move.

‘Then I’d kiss it, suck on that clit whilst I work ya good with these fingers until you were ready for me. Have you come undone at least once before I give you this cock,’ he grunted as I followed his train of thought, two fingers slipping inside myself as I used the heel of my hand to create a delicious amount of pressure on my clit.

‘And when you were beggin’ for it I’d bury myself in ya ‘stead of this hand.’

‘Wish you were here,’ I whimpered, feeling my walls clench around my fingers though they weren’t fully satiated by their presence.

‘Me too darlin’ this ain’t feel as good as you do,’ he said, ‘wish I was buried in ya, stretching that lil cunt out the way it’s meant to be.’

‘Oh God,’ I whimpered.

‘My mouth all over those pretty tits,’ he said which made me instinctively move my other hand to my chest, rolling my nipple between my fingers with desperate need.

‘Oh fuck.’

‘Is that what you want baby? My mouth on those tits?’ he grunted.

‘Yes, oh god I’m close,’ I said, moving my fingers back to my clit as I chased the high I so desperately needed, the one I had been chasing since I had seen that video of him rolling around that stage like a man possessed. A man that wasn’t the one I knew but some other, a southern gentleman possessed by want and need. Elvis.

‘That’s it,’ he grunted, ‘c’mon, come for me honey. I wanna hear you come for me.’

‘Fuck,’ I whimpered, my movements becoming more frantic as I felt myself teeter on the edge of bliss.

‘That’s it mama,’ he said, the sound of skin on skin coming down the phone ludicrously obscene but it was enough to send me over the edge.

‘Oh Elvis,’ I moaned, as I hit my peak, my walls clenching around nothing as pleasure ran through me and out through my extremities leaving me floppy in its path.

‘Fuck,’ was all I heard him say, followed by a string of expletives and breathing that was just as heavy as mine. It took a moment for me to come back to reality, enjoying his pants as he came down to meet me where I was lying spent and exhausted.

‘You good?’ he said after a minute, his voice more like himself than it had been before suddenly pulling from the fantasy I had been living and forcing the blood that had been dwelling south of my waist to suddenly rush back up to flood my face, redness no doubt christening my cheeks as I remembered I had succumbed if only for a second. I had lost myself and for all of my neediness and fantasising it felt as though I had overstepped.

‘Yeah,’ I mumbled, ‘Aus I’m sorry I didn’t mean to-’

‘It’s okay,’ he chuckled, ‘I kinda liked it.’

‘Really?’ I asked, a smile coming to my lips.

‘Yeah, you were right,’ he said, ‘he does have something about him.’

‘Well maybe he’ll visit again some time,’ I giggled.

‘Maybe,’ he mused.

Tag game: 10 characters from 10 fandoms

I was tagged by @hogans-heroes and my old laptop is working for 5 minutes on it's last legs so let's do this before it craps out again! God I gotta go way back in the earlier fandom days for some of these, I haven't been in a fandom since I was a teenager until MotA & Dune

1. Gale "Buck" Cleven (Masters of the Air) I would put Bucky as well but I can only choose one *cries* and I feel a complete kinship with this character and his mannerisms/traumas/personality etc.

2. Paul Atreides (Dune/Dune Part Two) look, I know he's an anti-hero and drank the worm juice so he turned into a crazy dictator but mans went through a lot and became a bad-ass doing it

3. Kiba (Wolf's Rain) do NOT get me started unless you want me a blubbering mess for a week straight

4. Ryuk (Death Note)

5. Stiles Stilinski (Teen Wolf) YES I was a Teen Wolf girlie.. sue me

6. Klaus Mikaelson (The Vampire Diaries/The Originals)

7. Arthur Pendragon (Merlin) still LOVE this character but can't help but get a visceral reaction when I look at him now because he looks like my ex. Actor has the same fucking first name too. Go figure. Sorry, boo (Arthur)!

8. Wil Ohmsford (Shannara Chronicles) My obsession for Austin Butler I wholeheartedly blame for this one. He should be higher up on the list, but eh. Love him, he's an idiot tasked with saving the world. Dorky dumbass x 100 with the situational awareness of a 2 week old kitten.

9. Triss (The Witcher: Wild Hunt Game version)

10. Dean Winchester (Supernatural) Supernatural really dropped the ball in later seasons honestly, but I still love the earlier ones and the character. Him and Sam are just alternative universe versions of me and my best friend.

I'm gonna tag: @avonne-writes @onyxsboxes @antiquitea @trashbag-baby666 if you guys feel like it and anyone else who would like to!

Wil Ohmsford x reader

He finds the reader wounded and helps her then invites the reader to join him on his journey and over time he realises he is in love with her and confesses his feelings and they share a kiss together

Hi, I'm really sorry but Wil is one of the only Austin characters I don't write for, simply because it's been so long since I've watched it and I really don't think I'd be able to this character justice

[sansaorgana]

I wonder, are you writing for other Austin characters as well? For example, Benny? Or Wil Ohmsford? And what about Austin himself?

Greets and love.🤗 Your writing is chef's kiss ❤️

hi, babe! 😌 thank you 💕

Benny? Maybe. I'd have to watch The Bikeriders first and as far as I am concerned it will be out in June? Hopefully in my country as well because if not... 💀💀💀

Wil? I haven't watched The Shannara Chronicles although I'm considering doing so... After seeing certain gifs lmao

Austin himself? Nope, sorry. I don't feel comfortable writing RPF. I know Buck Cleven is kinda RPF but... it's different lol He's more of a fictional character to me 😅 But Austin and Elvis are a no-no from me because my brain can't see them as fictional characters 😶

Can you please write a series with wok ohmsford because we barley get any fan fiction with him

I’d love to write for Wil someday! Unfortunately I’ve only watched a couple episodes of Shannara and I don’t feel like I know his character and the world well enough to do him justice rn :/

[itachi86]

how was wil in the exact same outfit in that flashback as in the present

[chirpybirdy]

ive watched mota, elvis, the shannara chronicles, yoga hosers (way back when), switched at birth (also way back when), and im currently watching the carrie diaries. austin butler sure has been in some stuff.

wil ohmsford is my favorite... something about how i know i wouldve hated his guts so much if i had watched it as a person not obsessed with austin just... idk hes so full of love and not full of sense.

i cheered when it looked like carrie was going to run over sebastian kydd in the beginning and end of episode 5 and he's not even the first character i wished would just die so they wouldnt be in the show anymore... im not hatewatching!!! i see the good!!!

meeting george uh soggy cardboard harlan idfk what his name is and i dont care Anyway! meeting him really drilled in how good austin is at that role. i see people talking about how he is a freak who shouldve been playing freaks this whole time as if rpatz hadnt informed us all that the highschool bad boy love interest role IS a freak role.

Season 1 Wil Ohmsford and season 2 Wil Ohmsford are two different people and no you can’t change my mind

[emilypan]

This is kind of an intro to the next series of videos which will be about the characters from the world of Shannara. Not all of the characters will be covered in this series and some will be combined into one video due to the amount of information I found. Some of the characters will be Dagda Mor, Changeling, Reaper, Bandon, Allanon, Eretria, Wil Ohmsford, Ander Elessedil and Amberle Elessedil. I hope you like it and subscribe for more.

BTW: Dagda Mor, Changeling and Reaper will be combined into one video because I could not much information on all of these characters. I forgot to post this a couple days ago (but I hope you enjoy this).

lyria: after you.

The Shannara Chronicles

This is it. This is the day I finally let loose the rant. I’ve finally been pushed over the edge.

First things first I love The Shannara Chronicles. My favourite book in the world is The Elfstones Of Shannara and this adaptation has been so good that it is my favourite show besides Arrow. The acting is fantastic, the plot was amazing and there are some brilliant characters that are so complex and well crafted. The whole first season is just so aesthetically pleasing.

However, then we were given a season two and honestly, I was so excited. I couldn’t wait to see how they were going to tell the story from that point on. Which is when things started to go to hell.

Honestly, I could accept the devastating loss of Amberle as despite loving her character so much and feeling a deep connection to her character. I knew that she was always destined to become The Ellcrys due to the fact that I know The Elfstones Of Shannara inside out and believe me Amberle becoming The Ellcrys in the TV show was a happy ending compared to how grim it was in the book. I swear to god Wil and Eretria actually had to watch as The Ellcrys basically disintergrated Amberle piece by piece so she could form the new Ellcrys. It’s still the most horrific part of my favourite book which is why I am glad that the writers of Shannara decided to just have her step into the tree and become one with it. I was also fine with this because Poppy Drayton still appeared in season 2 as The Ellcrys. That was well done.

Poppy Drayton’s moments in season 2 were honestly probably some of the only redeeming features of the season as it just went downhill from there.

Bandon. Bandon sweetheart what the hell did they do to you? His storyline just made no sense at all that’s what! So he’s apparently ‘evil’ now. Yeah right the only darkness that Bandon was exposed to was when he was forcibly trapped in his own mind by The Dagda Mor. The Dagda Mor. Now, Bandon deserved so much better. I just still struggle to understand his storyline I really do. If in season 2 it was made apparently clear and been canon that a part of The Dagda Mor had lived on in Bandon and was possessing him having still got an evil hold on his mind. That would have been a lot more believable that what season 2 did to Bandon. I’m ending the Bandon rant there. I don’t want to think about what happened to him at the end...

Ander. Sweet, sweet Ander. How. How could they do that to him? How. I just... What happened with Ander broke my heart. He deserved more than that ending. He really did. He deserved so much more than what the second season gave him I mean the first mistake was putting him in a relationship with Catania. What even was that. That has got to be one of the most forced tv relationships in history and I’ve seen some pretty forced relationships on tv (Legends Of Tomorrow) (Wil & Mareth) I mean how? How did that even work out? To be fair I always thought it was incredibly unnecessary to kill the badass Commander Diana Tilton in season one. She was the only woman I could remotely see with Ander. Not Catania I mean what the hell? I’m guessing the writers just realised that the two did not have love interests and thought oh the smartest thing to do would be to put them together. No, it was not a smart idea. It was weird. However, the major issue with Ander is that someone actually thought it was a bright idea to kill the poor Elf off I mean seriously, who the legitimate fuck thought it was a good idea to kill him? I mean I swear to god that was one of the most pointless deaths I have ever seen on television in my life. I’ve come to the realisation that someone was probably most likely smoking something whilst choosing who to kill of in Shannara Season 2 because there was absolutely no reason whatsoever to kill Ander. Ander didn’t deserve that! He was one of the more complex and interesting characters in the whole show because Ander was real. He was flawed and he didn’t hide that he was a very realistic character who deserved so much more after everything he had been through in season one. After he had lost his entire family and the woman he loved. Ander deserved better, he really did I’ll let you all know that he didn’t even die in the books! He was one of those rare characters that actually lived! So why on earth did they feel the need to kill him in the show? His death brought nothing to the plot expect Mareth becoming Queen at the end. no one wanted that. I certainly didn’t. I just wanted King Ander. Was Mareth’s character seriously just created to replace Ander and Allanon’s characters? The only somewhat peace of mind I get when it comes to Ander is at least that he is at peace with Aine and Eventine now. Yet even still. King Ander Of Arborlon Deserved Better.

Wil. In the first season I loved and adored Wil Ohmsford he was a naive sweetheart and even though when it comes to Amberle I ship her with Allanon. I thought how they portrayed Amberle and Wil’s relationship was great. However, Season 2 Wil was just... honestly I don’t want to say anything too harsh as I love Austin Butler and Wil and he did an excellent job but Wil’s character just changed so much in season 2 and not just physically. I actually really liked his short hair it reminded me of Austin’s days in The Carrie Diaries. In season 2 Wil lost that spark he’d had in season 1 which is understandable seeing as he’d lost Amberle and that broke his heart and I could understand his depression from that and at first I was glad to see that his obsession for Storlock had gotten him to the place of his dreams but I slowly started to get annoyed with Wil when he began to blame Allanon for what happened to Amberle. Now I’ll warn you all now Allanon is my favourite, any character judges him and I get annoyed with that character. You should have seen my victory dance when Prince Arion was killed not once but twice in season 1. But seeing Wil be so against Allanon reallly upset me as Allanon has done nothing but try to do his duty to The Four Lands and try to protect Wil. Their friendship in the first season was lovely and honestly reminded me of early days Slade & Oliver from Arrow but the way he blamed Allanon for what happened to Amberle? That was not a good move. Amberle understood exactly what she had to do. She knew what her duty was an accepted it knowing the price. Wil starts blaming Allanon for all this and for not telling him earlier? Well I’m sorry Wil but whilst he may look like one, Allanon is not a god he cannot decide the fate of The Ellcrys for it and on the subjected of not telling Wil. Wil should remember that Amberle knew what she had to do but she chose not to tell Wil until the last moment. She did. That was her choice, not Allanon’s. So personally I do not think it was right of Wil to put the majority of the blame on Wil. Honestly, one of the best parts of season 2 was when Amberle basically roasted Wil in person for Wil’s lingering thoughts and feelings about what went down in the season 1 finale.

Mareth. When I first heard about this new character I was excited as she was a magic user and I immediately began to theorise if she’d be Allanon’s kid and I was happily surprised to find out that I’d guessed correctly when she revealed herself to be Allanon’s daughter. That first episode of season 2 I loved Mareth straight away she was headstrong, sassy and an all out badass. She also made harsh remarks about Wil. What’s not to love! However, when she suddenly ‘fell in love with Wil’ I began to lose interest in her because I was annoyed that she was just being made out to be another love interest for Wil. If Wil had spent the whole season getting over Amberle and finding his way back to Eretria slowly. I could accept that. That would have been good story tellling but putting him with Mareth? I just didn’t see that. The only reason I was interested at first because I thought haha Wil’s going to have to face scary ass Dad!Allanon but I didn’t even get that so nope. No interest what so ever in Mareth & Wil. It just felt increadibly forced and like ‘Wil has to be with someone so let’s choose the only female character not in a relationship’. The main reason I went off Mareth though is when I realised what her character was being used for and that was most likely to be Allanon’s replacement. Like, good luck with that and all. Malese Jow is an amazing actress and I love her and everything I’ve seen her in has been fantastic but, she’s not Manu Bennett.

Last but not least. Allanon. Now, Allanon is my favourite character he always has been ever since I read the books for the first time. I was ten years old when I first read The Shannara Chronicles. At primary school I had the job of sorting out books in our school library and seeing as I was always invisible I could stay in that library for hours and no one would even know I was gone and I did. I spent hours on that library reading the books I found on the high shelf. The Shannara Chronicles trilogy. Now, I was ten so I didn’t understand most of it. Not like I do now but the characters that I became attached to were Allanon and Amberle. Amberle was like a badass Disney Princess and Allanon was like Merlin. Kind and wise. Allanon was always my favourite from the very beginning. I always just pictured Merlin everytime I read Allanon and I felt a wonderful connection to Allanon’s Merlin like character. However, when I finished the trilogy. Allanon died in the final book and it broke my heart. I remember at the age of ten sitting in a chair crying when Allanon died. I’d felt so attached to that character. He’d taken all the characters on this wonderful fantasy journey. It was Allanon’s death that made me decide as a writer that I would never kill my main character because I could never put anyone else through the heartbreak I had gone through when my favourite character died. However, when Allanon died I came to this acceptance and told myself that if somehow one day there was ever a movie or a film of The Shannara Chronicles I would be prepared and fine and accepting when the eventually happened and Allanon died and sure enough when it was announced that there would be a tv show seven years later at seventeen I had remembered what I’d said to myself at ten and that I’d be prepared and accepting of Allanon’s death when it eventually happened. Then they cast him and all preparation went out of the window. Seeing as thanks to Arrow, Spartacus and The Hobbit, Manu Bennett had become my favourite actor. Initially it was a great thing. Despite not being exactly who I imagined as Allanon seeing as I always saw an old Merlin whenever picturing him in my head. My favourite actor was going to play my favourite book character can’t get much better than that but then I remembered. Allanon dies and if any of you reading this are Arrow fans and remember season 2 of Arrow when Slade was killed by the Mirakuru when he first had it you’ll understand what I mean. That scene traumatised me and he wasn’t even actually dead. He came back. I have rewatched Arrow hundreds of times but never that episode. For those of you who haven’t seen Arrow basically, Manu Bennett is very, very good at doing heartbreaking traumatic death scenes which is why when I knew he was going to be Allanon. All preparation I had for his eventual death went out the window and when it happened... I broke down crying exactly like I did when I was ten reading Allanon’s death yet it was a million times worse because it was actually happening on the screen. I just... I can’t even begin to describe my emotions surrounding that but I will explain my one of anger and that is due to the fact that he should not have died then! Not in the second season! I mean come on! It was trilogy for a reason! If they had done three seasons of The Shannara Chronicles, kept the stories similar to the books and had Allanon dying for Wil and Eretria and their kids at the end you know what? Fair enough. Fair enough but not like that!!! Not in the second season. Who the heck thought it was a bright idea to kill (in my opinion) the best character in the whole damn show. The best actor left and then expected it to get renewed? To be fair I’m kinda believing that when the writers went though with killing Allanon they probably thought well that’s not going to go down well. Let’s kill Wil to just to make things even more traumatic and horrific. The entirety of season two was just a tragic mess!

What annoyed me more was that they didn’t even use Allanon to his full potential in season 2. I swear he was in bed for most of an episode and barely in the first few (I don’t even want to think about him being tortured) the best thing he did was that awesome jump through the closing gates. That was badass! Now the lack of Allanon could have been due to the fact that Manu suddenly decided to return to Arrow which was just beautiful or because they just wanted to focus on Mareth and Wil seeing as Mareth was evidently intended to be Allanon’s replacement. The one redeeming thing they did was make the Warlock Lord Allanon’s emo doppleganger. That was cool and well done. I mean Manu VS Manu... I have very few words to describe how I feel about that. I was deeply satisfied I know that for certain as the more Manu the better but Allanon did not need to die at that point in the show. There was just no point for his demise at all and it just succeeded in reminding me of my childhood trauma of losing my favourite book character.

Allanon Deserved Better.

Allanon Will ALWAYS deserve better.

To conclude. The denial is strong. The Shannara Chronicles Season 2 simply does not exist. The first and only season of The Shannara Chronicles is the most spectacular season I have ever seen on tv.
