TW: Characters die (but not really), A lot of angst TFRB x AEMH Crossover +MCU Event

Charlie took a sip of his coffee but something felt off. Something was telling him that something bad was going to happen. Trying to get his mind off of it, he grabbed the newspaper and began to read it.

"Alien Invasion In New York! Avengers Fight Leads Them To Wakanda!"

He wondered if Steve and the rest were doing well in the fight. After the Avengers leaving the island after doing who knows what, whenever Steve have the chance, he would visit him and Cody. Sometimes Tony would be with him, other times it was Bruce.

All he knew is that they were fighting aliens.

He took another sip of coffee and heard a scream. It came from downstairs. He dropped his coffee cup and rushed down the steps

He looked at the scene as his son, Graham, was disintegrating right in front of them. He couldn't speak, he couldn't scream. He didn't know what to think. Then, his friend, Boulder.

"DAD WHAT'S GOING ON?" Cody cried, tears streaming down his face. All Charlie could muster was, "I don't know son..." "I don't know..."

"It's not just us, Dad," Dani said pointing the TV, "It's everyone..." She weakly fell in Blades' hand as she disintegrated. Blades started to hyperventilate as Chase attempted to calm him down. Blades hugged him, begging for him to not disappear, "PLEASE DON'T LEAVE TOO!" Not realizing he was slowly disintegrating himself.

Chase didn't know how to respond to all of this, two of his closest friends are dead and their companions. He didn't know the fate of Heatwave, Kade, Blur, Salvage, Hightide, Doc Greene, his daughter, and Dr. Baranova. He looked at Charlie and Cody. 'Please...Please don't be next. Let it be me if it has to be.' He thought.

Charlie slowly sat down on the floor. Ideas running through his mind on what is going on. He called Ezra, hoping for a response, to get on but only hears Anna's voice. "Anna, where's Ezra?" He asked expecting the worst. "He disappeared," She sobbed, "I don't know how but he did and Frankie has been in her room ever since."

Charlie deeply exhaled as he talked to Anna, "Check on her, alright." Anna hung up the phone. That feeling in his gut gotten bigger. He knew that he was going to die. He was going, just like his children. He hugged Cody, just to soften the blow of the inevitable.

"Dad... are you gonna die?"

"I know it's bad but please," Charlie said, "stay strong Cody." He gently patted Cody's head. Charlie looked at Chase.

"Chase, please take care of Cody."

That was the last thing Charlie said at he faded away.

Shall I make this into a fic?

i really don’t think it’s “typical dragon age fandom nonsense” for people to be genuinely upset about the world state choices. combat, level design, art direction, gameplay gimmicks, those have all varied across each dragon age game. the one thing that’s remained constant are nods to our previous choices.

i wasn’t expecting my HoF to come riding in on a griffon, but i can’t find a monument dedicated to warden tabris somewhere around the anderfels? lucanis couldn’t have some lines about the time that one arainai boy was stirring up trouble in antiva city? you’re gonna tell me that making a mage the new divine wouldn’t have some impact on nevarra and antiva? on the anderfels, the supposed most devout militant andrastian nation in thedas? you’re saying nobody in the north is paying attention to who rules orlais or ferelden? come on.

WAIT CHAT HOLD ON-

SENTINEL HAS WINGS!!!!!

"Yeah obviously he turns into a jet-" NO!!!!!

Initially I thought they were like angel wings (which yeah, they are) and it's great symbolism because of his whole false Prime thing. He has this façade about being a noble leader and all that and he probably thinks that he's Primus' gift to the universe. The Devil disguised as an angel. Or something something the Devil was once the most beautiful angel of all. Idk lotsa places you can go with the angel symbolism.

HOWEVER

They're GOLDEN. You know who else had golden wings? Icarus. Who flew too close to the sun. Who's entire myth is about hubris and how pride can be your undoing. Does that sound familiar to you guys???

Sentinel flew too close to the sun believing that he could kill the Primes and seize all that wealth and power with no consequence. He thought that he was sooo great and nothing bad would ever happen to him because he won!!! And then he got too comfortable and sloppy and everything he built fell apart in just one day.

Whoever was on the design team for Transformers One you cooked hard with this one

In another (happier) world, I think Muhen would've been Akechi's Sojiro. Akechi would've lived above Jazz Jin just like how Joker lived above Leblanc. Muhen would've taught him how to make the drinks and close up at night. They would've bonded over music. And Akechi would finally have an adult looking after him. Because Muhen does care about him in-canon. He's the only character in the epilogue that mentions Akechi, he notices who Akechi spends time with, and he wishes to see him again.

It's so sad that Akechi assumes nobody cares about him or wants him around and yet this random jazz club owner does. Do you ever think about Muhen seeing Akechi at the Jazz Jin sometime in December, not knowing it would be the last time he ever would

This newfound idea that Silco took Powder in because she reminded him of Felicia makes me wanna gouge my eyes out. I'm sorry for being harsh, I guess, but I hate that their relationship has been reduced to Silco's past friendship with Jinx's mother. It strips Silco of his complexities, of that uncomfortable, unhealthy side of his relationship with Jinx that is, in my opinion, absolutely essential to their bond because it reflects just how damaged Silco was. He took Powder in because he saw himself in her; a broken, sobbing little girl whose words perfectly paralleled his own: "She is not my sister anymore", "he is not my brother anymore". Silco fostered Jinx's violence because she needed to become what they - Piltover - feared, all the while Jinx weakened him, held his hand as she led him to his demise. Maybe I'm too picky, but I feel like Silco's and Powder's first meeting loses all of its weight if you go down the "he saw Felicia in her" route. Idk

Puts this down on the ground and walks away in shame

it really fucks me up how often house md has this message of “the love was there. just not enough.” because of COURSE chase and cameron loved each other. of course house and cuddy were in love and foreman and thirteen were in love and wilson and sam were and cuddy and lucas and house and lydia and house and stacy and taub and rachel but. it just wasn’t enough. the love was there and it matters that it was there. but it saves no one. it fixes nothing. they still move on. they still leave. somebody is always left alone in the end. EXCEPT house wilson who broke this pattern For Yaoi rasones.

the romances in hatchetfield fuck me up so bad like. every time. like youve got:

the most normal couple of all time, except one of them always seems to understand when the world is going to end and they inevitably are driven apart by something out of their control.

two grungy teens/young adults who will never get a happy ending so long as theyre together

a woman who everyone forgets and the man who falls in love with her every time he meets her again and again and again.

high school sweethearts haunted by their pasts and sometimes their futures, too.

a nerd and a 'cool kid', who just keep trying to sacrifice themselves for each other despite something interrupting them every time.

romance is not dead in hatchetfield! except for the fact that it usually ends up dying horribly and tragically.

Sky and Viktor's relationship is such a horror movie to me. You've got a man who was frustrated by the limitations placed on his life that were out of his control, like his class, mobility, and general health. Despite everything, he manages to rise beyond his station and avoid being an assistant for the rest of his life.

Then you've got a woman from the same background who admires him and all that he's accomplished in spite of the similar class based prejudices they faced all the while she's his assistant. She works up the courage to take leap of faith and reach out to him with her own research to show what's possible if they worked together as equals. And then he gets her killed!

Sky's death isn't the end of it because while it affects Viktor it is in no way meaningful to Sky's life or value as a person whatsoever. Even the pendant he wears in her memory is based on the design of her notebook, but that was just her notebook's cover, she probably bought it from a store and the design itself is probably mass produced. Why not use Sky's signature that was in her letter and in the notebook, the thing part if the notebook with real value?

Then Sky's brought back in s2 and she really only exists to be Viktor's assistant again, who he kills, again! But this time it's different because this time Viktor's making a conscious decision to look Sky in the eye and kill her... to prove he's changed.

In the middle of all this, in no way has Sky's death been mourned by her family or anyone else who could have known her. Jayce wasn't affected by the reveal, he didn't think it was important to tell Heimerdinger, or anyone who knew her. Nothing about her life, death, or disappearance has spurred any emotional reaction or even curiosity about what happened to her.

Sky's new life was also extremely isolated because she became further tied to him (in some ways you could say she was defined by him). Viktor never mentioned Sky to anyone in the material plane during his commune arc, so she only exists to him and she has no way to communicate with others, she's just there for Viktor's sake.

Then in the finale we learn this all a part of a big time loop where Viktor actively set the wheels in motion to have him and Jayce create hextech together, but if everything follows as is, that means Sky is violently killed in those timelines too. That means Viktor weighed the costs and decided over and over and over again that Sky was expendable enough to let her die for his plan to work eventually. How is that not murder at this point?

What's worse is that post-finale Sky's humanity is a point of dispute amongst the fandom, the VAs, and the writers themselves. Sky's the hexcore manipulating Viktor. No, Sky's a manifestion of Viktor's guilt. No, she's actually supposed to represent his humanity/conscious made physical. And in none of these arguments do they discuss Sky as a person, she's just an object meant to serve Viktor both in the narrative sense and literal sense as his assistant.

The most absolutely maddening part is that with Viktor's new bio on the League site, not only have most traces of Viktor had been scrubbed by Piltover's archive, but Sky's life has been completely wiped. Her death was implied to have been swept under the rug, and only described as the "loss of life" consequence from his Hexcore experiment.

Viktor was afraid of dying a senseless death (created by the conditions Piltover condemned his birth to) in obscurity and then he turned it into Sky's destiny.
