#for some reason that's really getting to me rn

[seiwas]

sellie!! hi!! for the writing exercise.. my first thought was Touya + hands (thought of that one insanely detailed art).. im not sure about the trope but im thinking just taking extra care of them? if there’s a trope that appeals to you feel free to go with it <33

i hope you’re doing well!

scar hello my dearest!! im so sorry im getting to this so terribly late 🥺 thank you for sending this in though 🥺

touya + hands + extra care

contains: talks abt touya's burn scars, can or cannot be set in canon, touya is emotionally unavailable and noncommittal (but we know that), every time i write touya i clutch my chest, established relationship, it's still pretty sweet i think!

touya doesn't think much of it when you slip the silver band on his ring finger.

you're well aware that marriage is a concept he doesn't believe in; forever has a price too costly, and touya is running on a small budget.

if you know him well enough (which, he's confident you do), you'll know that he is unbending in his decisions and even more with his feelings.

the way he sees it, the band can only be decorative at most.

and yet, it is the first to catch the dawn of light when he wakes up next to you—a glimmer resting on the pillow right next to your head. he squints his eyes, opening and closing his palm as if to test the way it feels.

there's little sensation that touya can feel on his hands now that they've been scarred, his nerve endings burnt to crisps. still, with what little sensation he can feel, the metal rests relatively cool against the warmth of his fingers; it feels cooler than your hands did when you put it on him last night, too.

it's the perfect size, he realizes the more he moves his fingers around—a consideration that twists his insides. things like this shouldn't fit him; he shouldn't want things like this to fit him.

you stir next to him, face scrunching as your eyes slowly blink open.

you've made touya ache since the day he first met you.

this morning is no different, with the way you mumble your "good morning" with a small smile; with the way your eyes glint like the glimmer of the ring on his finger.

there must be trouble in his gaze because your eyes follow where he's looking, following your greeting immediately with a calm, "it doesn't have to mean anything if you don't want it to."

and you mean it, sincerely. touya can tell because it's you.

he hums in acknowledgment.

you chuckle, used to the way he speaks (or doesn't) by now. your hand reaches for his gently, pressing your fingers into his palm in the way that acupressure course taught you. something about relieving stress, or something.

"do you like it?" you ask softly.

his eyes meet yours briefly before he fixes his gaze on it again, watching the way the sunrise hits it at different angles. he mumbles, "s'just a piece of metal."

"you're staring an awful lot at just a piece of metal."

he narrows his eyes at you, a piercing turquoise.

"why'd you get it?"

in hindsight, he should have seen it coming. there must have been some reason you started paying more attention to the dry cracks on his hands―why you began massaging them with "ultra nourishing, moisturizing hand cream" every night.

touya knows you, and he knows you don't do things without purpose.

so when you say—

"just wanted to get you something nice."

—a part of him wonders what you really mean.

it's in the way you look at him this morning and every other time he catches your gaze. it's in your smile, in the way your lips curl up in patience despite his tone of speech. it's in every day you show up when it is much, much easier to leave.

he looks at the ring now and thinks it's impossible to see without attaching its meaning to you.

a/n: fully in my feels with proposals and rings rn! so this is how it's manifesting 🥺 but this is kind of like a proposal kind of not? to me (or to touya), i just really wanted the ring to mean the reader (you), that when he'd look at it, he'd remember you and the fact that you're there and aren't going away. i wanted the line: "get you something nice" to mean more than just getting touya a precious metal. i see touya eventually interpreting that he's received you, and the reminder or "promise" that you'll be with him is what he really counts as "nice". something like that!

Rate your children (ocs)

Who is the favorite? The first born? The problematic fave? The one you honestly don't give enough attention? The one you would hate if they weren't yours? The one you would go ape shit if anything happened to them? The most popular?

This is legit SUCH a hard question TT I love all my characters................

I don't think I have a favorite, but I have a soft spot for Cot since he was one of my first OCs (he wasn't a yandere back then lol)!

Plus Cot is super cute + fun to draw imo :3c

I also adore Aizono for similar reasons! He was a really old OC of mine that came about because I was like... what if the Love God was pining after a mortal?

2. The problematic fave... I mean, they're yanderes so I feel like they're all kind of problematic LOL Ig from my yanderes though, Tynan is probably the most problematic bc he's completely aware of how awful his actions are, he just doesn't care.

He's a man of his own desires, even if he loves Darling haha

3. I feel like I don't give enough attention to a lot of my OCs tbh TT I'm just one measly living organism with way too many OCs lol + I actually have a LOT of OCs I haven't even shared yet!! I love designing characters + writing different prompts so I just end up w a lot of stuff I think.

I do want to revisit my Vampire MILF and DILF though!

(I just think they're hot + I want to be pampered!!!!)

4. As for the one I would hate if they weren't mine... I can't really think about it rn! I feel like all my OCs appeal to me in some way for now... who knows, though? Maybe I'll make an OC I heavily dislike in the future LOL

5. In regards to who I'd go ape shit for if they were hurt... I don't really know, honestly. Maybe any of my human OCs? Most of my non-human/monster OCs can handle themselves just fine, but my human ones are (1) a weak guy who's obsessed with you, (2) a sickly guy who's obsessed with you, and (3) a rich crossdresser who's obsessed with you. None of them are strong tbh so they're much more likely to be hurt LOL

Like, no offense to Sammy, the weak guy who's obsessed with you, but he's kind of pathetic LOL

6. I think the most popular OC I have is either Mulsu or Mason!

I feel like all of my OCs get attention though, so I'm super grateful for it <3

Wow, this post got super long, but it was fun to do!! I'm super indecisive so the answers may change in the future but for now, I think these are accurate haha

(Yeah... when I post more OCs, the answers will def change haha)

Tysm for reading!! <3

[thatbitchery]

So. Ladies and ladiettes of the press, I am finally going to talk about That Which We Do Not Mention Here. Yes, that. The Big Bad M. The Ew. That thing I Don't even respond to. Manifesting. Yes yes clutch your pearls, I am actually going to teach you the Manifesting Code. Yes I know. I can't believe I'm doing this either. You KNOWWW idgaf about it when I'm giving it for free like this but anyway. The love and light and angel numbers ppl this is your sign to unfollow me I'm about to dismantle your entire belief system.

Well then. Ah where do I start. First off, everyone say thank you to all the spiritual girls and monks and witches I've met and to me for being wayyy too open minded for a Christian Catholic. Everyone say Thank You, B.

First, manifesting is a feminine thing. You HAVE to be in your feminine to manifest. Ask my masculina ass, I'd know. Would've accomplished 5 times more if I could just for God's sake be feminine but heh. If you can't be in your feminine, you need to find someone that is and channel it? Use it? like your dad and bf and male friends and ugly friends are doing with you. Good news is they don't even have to consent to it, energy fields work on proximity not willpower. Like you don't have to consent being affected by nuclear energy if you're in it's proximity you will get affected. If you are feminine and always tired or drained man do I have news for you :). Exactly. WHY? Because to manifest is to CREATE, and what is femininity, children? The manifesting code is the femininity code.

Second, manifesting is a container thing. Container, in the exact sense of the word. What is a container, you ask, and how do I expand it? Well, have you considered google? I ask back. You shake your head and I nod mine. I signed up for this, after all. Give me a minute I'll get to it.

Third, Manifesting is a question of truth. And not what you wish the truth was, what the truth really is. I love liars I do yesssss the world is a stage and you are a performer yess lie BUT you can't lie to yourself? Or to, well, God? The Universe? The Source? Whatever you believe in? And the more you try to the more you suffer, and for what? Again, I'll get to it.

Now, some truths I need to throw out there for no reason-

Gratitude is a lack mindset I'm sorry. I'm sorry it is

Being girly does have ties to femininity but its not exactly the same. This isn't about that Grating ass Mina Irfan voice, and this is coming from someone that does not stand for female on female slander.

Mothering and nurturing are masculine traits actually. Coming from someone again, so masculine I have a whole blog and do massive coaching to channel that energy so I don't baby adults.

You manifest in your feminine you keep it in your masculine. One day, when I am as jobless and bored as I am now, we will talk about this masc/ fem thing okay? You need to either be fully fem in a room with mascs that will balance it out (cool thing is, they don't even have to consent to it muahahaha). Extremely dangerous but what's a little thrill to it? or balance a 60/40. 60 masculine. If not, You'll just get it but not keep it, and what's the point? Again, what is creation with no sustenance? Balance. Yin/Yang or whatever it's called, good thing is it doesn't always have to be within you. You can balance by proximity ;).

We do not Act As If in this house okay? Visualization is as far as I'm willing to go, but we do not act as if here. Matter of fact if you could just not visualize either.

Life, the purpose of life, is experience and relationships. That's it. everything that does not meet these two will cause pain. Pain is a result of separation and stagnation.

There is no good, there is no bad. Only time, space, perception and interpretation.

(I can't believe I'm doing this rn?Oh how the mighty have fallen???). PS: just to put it out there i still HATEEE the manifesting ppl we are not the sameeeeee ok bye. And I will never again talk about this don't text me about it and if I delete it before you get it idk merry Christmas?and idc what your guru said.

OK i'll do it. I'll do it.

PART ONE: FEMININITY, DETACHMENT AND EXPERIENCES

As agreed above I'll get into the fem/masc dynamics some moons to come when I manipulate my way inro a holiday just to spend it working for no pay. For today, in the interest of this topic, lemme run it soft by you.

Femininity is the art of being. Creation is being. It does not require enrgy or effort to be exerted, just transferred. I'll keep this PG13 for the religious kids that can't fathom the I AM GOD mentality so let's say it this way- everything exists, its just brought into vision? By a transfer of energy, and transfer does not need effort, just a medium. The way you need steel to transfer heat from the fire into your food to cook it? In that way the steel pan is simply a medium. It does nothing, just exists and uhm, surrenders? That is femininity, the medium. It's a state of just- being. Detachment but surrender? If you get it you get it? The steel pan doesn't care if the heat is too much or too little or if the food is cooked or not? It will pass as much heat as is being transferred? Detachment. But then it has to kinda surrender? Itself? Heat could destroy it if too much, and yet it has to take the risk? Look if you don't get it I don't know how else to explain it to you. Femininity is surrendering to the transfer? Aka creation, being indifferent and surrendering to it, knowing you risk destruction? I'll stop it there for now :)

To manifest you need to understand- (And this is where if you do not understand the I AM God mentality you fall off) everything that exists exists not because of you, but through you. Like children. Second, Everything exists. Third, it is not your business how it exists or for what. Fourth, you don't get to choose how it exists or for what (THIS< ESPECIALLY THIS? When they say submission they actually mean surrender, and not to a man / masc). What does this mean? If you want money okay but you don't get to decide how it comes to you. You create the container for it and move on. Will you collect it? Inherit? Get a promotion? Gift? Surrender and detach from that and move on. It is insisting you have to get it through a raise that's keeping you broke. Channel, container. surrender and detach.

So this is the feminine code as pertains to this- I AM.

Thats it, bye.

Ok I'll get into it. Everything you want, you want because it's you. Ma idk how to explain this without getting all witchy its just- We are all one consciousness? If you get it you get it if not, that's ok you won't die maybe just suffer unnecessarily and keep coming back to the 3D until you get it hehe. The Ocean is one but it has kelp. kelp is not the ocean the ocean is not kelp but kelp is part of the ocean and the ocean is part of the kelp. That's the best I can do.

On to experiences, experiencing is a feminine trait. You know how men will be in a room with just tv and mattress and be okay? Just not shower and be okay? Not realize how that thing they did affected people? Be so, disconnected? Because men are born predisposed to masculinity and those people can't experience nothing to save their lives. No perception of sense. Sensuality is a feminine trait because it is experiencing through the senses. The girls that like to smell like roses and eat good food and have soft skin, those girly girls? They're feminine in that they experience through the senses ie sensuality. If you're learning to be feminine start with the senses. Senses are how we experience the world and what did we say was purpose no. 2 for existence? Uh huh. What does that have to do with manifesting?

You can not manifest if you are not experiencing life. Your guru wants you to light the candles and wear that dress you like and all that because it means you are experiencing life (Again, we experience the world through our senses) and then, only then, can you manifest. Shout out to my ADD/ADHD gang we can't manifest to save our own lives because we are never in the room- get CBT and learn to stay in the room. You can not manifest in escapism, why we said learn to be in the room? Escapism is masculinity (again, ask me I'd know). You need to be in the room fully.

NOWWWWWWW lets gooo to the part of the love and light ppl I hate- refusing and blocking experiences because you have decided they are bad and interpreted them as painful is how you get DepresseD. That is the science of depression and PTSD and all that, mind you, you refuse to accept an experience because you decided it's bad. And this is not to say all experiences are good, in what world is assault or loss of a loved one good- I'm not saying gaslight yourself. You are NOT grateful he broke up with you stop lying to your own gratitude journal. I'm saying- accept it AS IS. It is what it is. If you're hurt you're hurt. If you're in pain feel the pain, its an experience and again WHY ARE WE ALIVE PEOPLE? Accept your experiences. Feel your feelings. Surrender to it? It is what it is? Stop trying to control it? We don't control our feelings we control our actions based on them. We feel our feelings okay? No badbitchness is acting like some stone in the name of being stoic. Femininity is being stoic. It is what it is. You block your experiences you refuse to surrender you refuse to detach you refuse to be indifferent and, Y'know.

2. CONTAINERS, WHAT THEY ARE AND HOW TO EXPAND THEM.

Do consider google for this, thanks. No fr. How do I even explain this. Y'all don't pay me enough for this? Matter of fact y'all don't pay me at all? Can't wait to resent y'all bc of the energy imbalance lol. If i ever delete this blog that's the resentment.

The shark in the tank we know this story. Shark in tak only grows to the size of that tank. Shark in ocean grows to max size. Same animal. Difference? The container. You get? You get? YOU GETTTTTT?

You can only receive as much as you can contain. Think of yourself both as the tank and the shark. You can only grow as big as your container. You can only hold as much as the maximum capacity of your container.

THIS, THIS- CHILDREN- IS WHERE WE GET TO IT. THIS IS THE REAL SHIT.

Now, say you're a mother. Billionaire. Can have it all in a day. Your 10 year old that has never even skated asks for a G Wagon. Now, can you buy it? Of Course. Will You? Uhm. No, no obvioulsy no. Not because you can't, because she does not have the CONTAINER for it. She needs to be old enough. Then she needs to get a license. Then maybe a corolla. Then she can get that Wagon.

See that thing I just described? That is her expanding her container.

The container is the space the thing you are asking for will manifest in. Trip to paris okay do you have a passport? Can you handle yourself in Paris? Do you even know what you want to do in paris? NO ONE cares if you have the money for it btw it's embarrassing af to manifest money uhm? It's giving lack lol. Do you have space to hold the thing you want? Manifesting being a billionaire when you can not manage 1k without going crazy, it's not coming. Expand ypur money container.

Once upon a time couple of revolutions back I had a stupid crush on this XY person? The consuming kind? We had chemistry and he just- fell off. Just cut it off? And I'm like uhm universe bestie I think you forgot the I want it I get It Code? Desire- reception pipeline? My 3% femininity? That's what we want? then later read this thing that says God will not let you have it because You will lose yourself to it and God needs you to be yourself. Amen? Given you are the Universe/ God/ Figurehead X trying to experience itself through your pov- see why it would never let you have that thing unless you have a container for it? Because it could be the thing that destroys you? And it wasn't wrong lol I was willing to shift my entire life for this one XY lol. Not until I expanded that container that I met my now bf, and container so big if we break up it'll suck but anyway on to the next?

Before you manifest, create the container for that thing. Create space for it. Give it a channel -several actually- to follow to you, then let it go and move on.

You want money, okay. How much? Six figures. KK. First, get financial education on how to deal with money, then put ourself in situations for it to come to you. Work towards that promotion but do not attach to it, don't think it's the only way you can get it. Then, date a millionaire. Then have a business, play the lotter idk. Multiple channels and a soft space for it to land on.

You want a masculine provider okay good for you. Expand that container and put yourself in his path.

You want to have more fun? good for you. cut off those pessimists and cowards. say more yes's? Yeses? Whatever. Wtf even is english lol. (I'm tipsy if you can't tell). Put yourself out there. Seek more experiences.

You want to be healthy? Okay expand that container. Eat healthy. Move more. Do health affirmations. See a doctor. Cut out the toxins.

You want X- okay. Expand that container. Max the channels. Surrender. detach.

One word- EXPOSURE.

3. THE DESIRE CODE

If only I had a dollar for every single time I talk to y'all about how to reach your goals and find out, less than three minutes in- this twenty five year old unit of an absolutely gorgeous woman has NO idea what she wants and is chasing the goals she thinks she is supposed to chase I'd have bought a car by now? Understandably socialization is extremely brutal in girls so I'm not going to go off on you, I'm going to tell you you can NOT UNWANT something. And you can not superimpose whatever desires you think are more noble or acceptable. And, in case it's not obvious by now, this Universe will keep hurting you until you go back to factory settings. You can fight, if you want, but you won't win. And the universe / God/ Figurehead (If your figurehead is masculine don't ever talk to me again?) responds to desire. Not wants. Not needs. Not prayers. Desires. Save time, go to therapy, return to factory settings and operate from there. Desire is a link to a point on a plane? Its the softest I can put it. It's a very straight line, if you fall off you get hurt because there is no path outside it? You want what you want. Go get it stop trying to not, especially for something as stupid as society. Just to gag you- You'll come back to this plane as many times and suffer through all of the lifespan until you just meet your needs/ desires so if you hate being alive well. There's a shortcut-

Either you manifest your actual desire or you manifest fun fun fun ways the Source will come up with to get you back on track your choiceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

There was another point probably but I can't compute.

[trinityobsessesovatings]

do you have a ranking of your favourite arcane characters?

this might come as a little bit of a shocker…

MOST

Caitlyn

Vi

Jayce

Mel

Sevika

Ekko

Jinx

Ambessa

Viktor

LEAST

caitlyn is my absolute FAVORITE character!! idk what it is about her but i want to have her children! i would definitely be her little housewife fr! she has me acting in ways… IM CONCERNED ABOUT. i would definitely be in her corner like “babe stop this isn’t you! look at me baby this isn’t you! don’t let jinx get you there.” …yeah it’s bad.

vi is a VERY CLOSE second. i absolutely ADORED her character. she lowkey reminds me of myself fr, willing to do anything and everything for the ones she loves. i have an older brother who has autism and would DIE for that mf fr! i really loved how even though she was frustrated with jinx… she never really gave up on her… in my eyes at least.

…now… jayce i’m not gonna lie.. he’s position on this list is a SHOCK to me. i was a jayce HATER all throughout the show! mainly because i was jealous with the way he got the baddest bitch in the show mel.. YES IM A HATER! but chileee… when he popped back up with beard… SUMN WAS PURRING 🤪 i’m a slut for mean with beards.

mel, mel, mel… when she first popped up on my screen I was deadass stunned with how stunning that woman was! then when she first started getting with jayce i was like: 🤨😕. i couldn’t believe it. i was also definitely one of those people who shipped her with sevika even though those two NEVER interacted. but yeah her aura was so strong she had me hating jayce. WHEN SHE UNLOCKED HER POWERS OH MY GOD I WAS SCREAMING AND JUMPING FOR JOY! baddest bitch. 😌

sevika was definitely someone else who caught my attention when the show first started! i thought she was THE COLDEST mf they introduced! even when she betrayed vander i was upset a bit, but also at the same time… i supported it??? because she just wants the best for her people! i was literally so pissed she kept getting that vegeta treatment tho… LIKE COME ON!

NOW the only reason ekko is so low on this list is because��� most of the people above him they got EXTRA POINTS because i’m attracted to them! ekko is honestly so adorable and just the goat fr! that’s my son fr! little man when he was so small 🥹 MY SON!!! i was having heart palpitations when him, hiemerdinger, and jayce where glitching out during the wild runes scene! MY BOY JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HIS TREE!

the reason jinx is where she is on this list is literally the same as ekko’s! jinx and ekko idk how they are so that’s an immediate “you’re my child and if anything happens to you, i’ll kill everyone.” jinx was also one of them characters that deadass HAD ME DYING! the scene with enforcer not believing she’s jinx, when silco was calling for her but she was too busy jamming, when she jumped sevika and tied her up, asking her sister if her caitlyn fucked before she killed them, almost crashing out when viktor called her powder… THE LIST GOES ON! she an icon, a legend, and she is the moment! 😌

ambessa she had me in the first half, like when she was first introduced! i’m pretty sure if she didn’t end up being an opp… she would definitely be higher on the list! the only thing ambessa got going for her rn is she’s hot! I JUST HATE WAR STARTING/LOVING ASS BITCHES!! like for why! DO THAT SHIT ON YOUR OWN TERF DON’T BRING THAT MESS OVA HEA! also she slapped mel so that DEF docked some fucking points!

now this might be an unpopular opinion… i might get hate for it… i thought viktor was the most boring character on the show highkey fr! IM SORRY IM SORRY! like he had his moments that man is a sassy king… but other than that I didn’t really rock with viktor as a character or as potential boo thing. when it comes to science people… it’s hit or miss for me fr. also… that mf ran a cult 🙅🏾‍♀️ NO THANKS

So I'm playing Cookie run kingdom for the first time (I blame you), and I found the little tab where it asks you to choose your first ancient. I could have gone with the kind healer, or the cool looking tank lady, but for some reason my history with Transformers made me grow attached to the depressed old man wayyy to quickly (Dark Cacao)

anyway him and Burnt Cheese are on my front so far, and it's so much fun to watch those two go. I have no idea what is going on, and so far the story is wholesome, so I feel that Ralph Wiggums meme rn

Ayooo!!! So cool that you’re playing kingdom now!! Cacao was my first ancient too and yeah he gave me the TF vibes… fun fact, his voice actor was Overlord in Prime Wars

Burnt Cheese is a great defense cookie to start out with! Hopefully you get a team lineup that’s really good ^^ until you get a better healer cookie that’s an epic, I’d recommend using Angel in the early game (they’re common, so you might be able to pull them pretty soon if you haven’t already). Also make sure to get those fountain rewards since they’ll be very useful later once you start needing resources for things!

And I hope you like the story!! I didn’t know what was going on at first, but being drawn to the characters helped me get invested in their story. If you’re a lore nut like me then you’ll understand most of it eventually, just keep playing and check the wiki if you want to do extra research ^^ have fun!!

[s4pphic-sh3nan1gans]

why do I feel so off lately and why is a fuck ton of dysphoria hitting me out of nowhere ajshsjshs I don't even know what it is but I just feel so awful and don't even recognise myself, I just want to tear my skin off cos everything feels wrong :(

AND I MET THE CHANGE GOD TOO. OKAY. COOL OKAY

[moonedman]

All other sagas done in previous or future posts

Thunder Saga

Suffering

Fun fact this song doesn’t have any viola to foreshadow that it’s not Penelope

It does have a lot of piano, which is Athena’s instrument. If that means anything to you guys.

Real fans know Odysseus isn’t a bitch coward

“Take the sufffering from you” by KILLING HIM she’s not wrong though

If i remember correctly odysseus was a boat guy before he was a soldier so this song is so goofy to me [he is NOT afraid of the water}

Manipulation time

“Oh nooo” she is not invested

Manipulating the ocean and direction fixation smh

I can’t imagine watching my captain do this

“The things I do for you” yeah we know you’re going to do anything to get home to your wife.

Different Beast

Hehe the transition

The hiss

Hough ho ho

I’m so insane about this voice acting

“We are the ones that feast now” sirens literally just want a snack this guys never heard of a healthy ecosystem and food chain

Killing them all couldn’t have been good for the fish population

This is going to affect the trout population

“Man made monster” they’re changingggg

Storytime

“No more of us deceased now” boy howdy do i have new for you.

“Can’t take more risks of not seeing my wife” he really lives up to that his life is his priority in a way

He genuinely. Didn’t need to drown them. Also so many of his own men drowned. Like buddy.

“He is the different beast now” switching the lyrics up because. Nobody else could be thinking that. He’s becoming more of a monster than everybody else

Not that it’s a competition

This won’t have any lasting consequences, surely

Scylla

Her vocals are so good

Now is not the fucking time Eurylochus

“Hm I just watched Odysseus ruthlessly kill a bunch of sirens and come back from the underworld a little different. Is that a scary cave we’re going into? Yeah, i need to tell him about the bag”

“Leaving them feeling betrayed” odysseus feeling right now and his crew in two minutes and thirty seven seconds

“Breaking the bonds that you’ve made” same thing they’re betraying each other this will continue to happen

Eurylochus can apologize Odysseus take notes

“We both know what it takes to survive” god i love this song because it’s like Scylla is talking to Odysseus [he’s certainly not talking to his crew may as well talk to Scylla]

“We only care for ourselves” Odysseus rn fr fr

Odysseus you’re so fucked up right now i am insane about you and Eurylochus right now

“Drown your sorrows and fear” odysseus right now and also the end of get in the water

Also. drowning is a very common thing to happen around Odysseus and to himself (he drowns at the end of Get in the Water right that’s what that is i’m not misreading those lyrics and animatics)

“We must to what it takes to survive” laying it on thick that Odysseus is going to end up sacrificing everybody in order to get home.

Eurylochus was going to die in that cave. He was supposed to die in that cage. His brother was going to sacrifice himself along with five others. Instead of the usual “i can talk my way out and find a way out” attitude, he just straight up killed six men willingly.

“We are the same you and I” and Odysseus joining in on the melody? Shoot me dead i love this song it’s easily one of my favorites holy shit

Mutiny

Eurylochus knows Odysseus is a liar and witty. He’s expecting and ready for a lie or elaborate story. Some excuse. And odysseus can’t give him one because what he did was just his plan and final decision

“Six of our friends” one of which was supposed to be him

“Say something” “I can’t” really shows the crew [not just the listener] how far gone he is

Crew backing Eurylochus vocally and literally

“You must carry all the blame” when does the reason become the blame - Odysseus is the reason they’re there in that situation

To an extent

“I am not letting you get in my way” woah buddy. Different beast and Scylla lyrics were really setting that one up.

Perimedes!!

Luck runs out tune

“Relied on wit and then we died on it?” and whooo called it? Eurylochus.

Finally tied to a pole.

What.

Does nobody know their own gods? Like the sun god statue. Golden cows. Hmm. golden cattle being a sun god symbol. Nothing fishy there, right?

So desperate to get home vs giving up

“I need to get home” not we. not them. He does. His life is the only one that really matters to him, deep down.

“We can get home” he’s trying to convince them but we all know this is about him

GOD voice acting i love you

Even after everything they’re still listening to him because they know he’s right

Thunder Bringer

Is he trying to say only he can be proud in the horniest way possible.

He is.

Being able to undress pride in a “I’m stripping away your pride because that’s my job” kind of way

“Pride is a damsel in distress” being a hero and if he’s the only hero he’s the coolest

Word play of “Thunder, bring her” and “Thunder bringer”

God games

He’s holding a lot of gruesome fate and damned weight.

The way everybody throughout the musical sings “please” makes me ill 

His men are watching him become a monster in real time for his wife

I’M ILL ABOUT THEM

Piano? Like Athena?!

I’m so insane about the Ithaca saga do you tumblr people want to hear my full analysis of each song to celebrate

MAN I'm seriously so sad about season 2. Bc I wish act 2 had the same emotional impact on me as it appears to have on so many others. But rn I'm just somewhere between unable to care and actively annoyed by some of those writing decisions. Seriously the more I think about it the less I like it.

I started in DC by reading fanfics, but as I began to read actual comics, I started to be unable to read the actual fanfic that got me into it in the first place because it's so out of character.

But there are still some stories that I love to read because I love the found family trope so much, even if it isn't really accurate to the source material.

As a comics purist (sometimes), are there tropes that you like enough that you'll still enjoy a fic even if it's not accurate to canon?

oh my god this is SUCH a fun question. bc while i started with the comics, there were certain characters and/or character dynamics where i was exposed to the fanon before the canon (just bc it's hard to read everything when you start out just to read some fanfic) and so i've definitely experienced the fanon to canon transition. (*especially* with Jason Todd. i had only read 80s/90s stuff where he was already dead or the New-52 bc that was on-going when i got into comics and man. the fanon misunderstandings i had about him before i got frustrated and sat down to read all his pre-Flashpoint stuff were absolutely bonkers.) and aside from that, whilst i tend to prefer canon over fanon, i'm not past giving fanon its flowers for occasionally having really interesting insights. occasionally. so some of my fanon "guilty pleasure" tropes would probably be

Morally Grey Tim Drake - this is one where if you try to back it up with canon, i *will* get salty about it. of everyone in the Batfam aside from maybe Bruce and Cass, Tim has the *most* black and white morals. often his internal conflicts are routed in such an inability to compromise his moral views and it can cause him to clash with other characters. he's *very* stiff and rigid in his beliefs and is *rare* to compromise in even the smallest ways. i mean, DC has repeatedly used Tim Drake of Tomorrow/Savior/Gun Batman!Tim for a reason. it's to demonstrate that of everyone, Tim *cannot* have his morals compromised. there's no grey area for him. he's zero or a hundred, so if he tips over the edge of "too far" he tips *all the way*, and doing so is one of his worst fears, how he could go "too far" if he let himself. a couple panels out of context from Red Robin (2009) (which was a grief spiral for Tim to begin with) don't change that. now that said. if it's done *right*, i sort of love Tim being morally grey in fanfic. it takes a specific flavor for me, and it's incredibly important to include that mental spiral along with it, of him struggling to justify it. i don't have any interest in "Tim Drake is loosy goosy with Bruce's morals and has the highest kill count and no one knows teehee" bc it doesn't play with the interesting parts of making Tim morally grey, which are fracturing his psyche. but all in all, i think it's fun to put Tim in a morally grey area and i will read it in fanfic and i enjoy writing it a lot

Joker Junior!Tim Drake - i've not written it on this account (yet) but on my main ao3 account one of my biggest fics surrounds this concept. this is one of those "well *technically* it's canon but only in a specific very divorced from the comics universe and would not work at all in the main timeline" so, i categorize it as fanon in that 95% of fics exploring the concept are not doing so within the Batman Beyond universe, but the main timeline. i just love it. I'll take any excuse to whump Tim, but this concept is so fun. psychologically breaking Tim will always be my favorite pastime. there are so many ways to explore the long-term effects this could have on him, how it could affect the Batfam. i'm not a fan of it being used as a "gotcha" to Jason or Babs' trauma with the Joker to paint Tim as the Ultimate Victim, but it is fun to see how their relationships would be affected by being mutual victims of him. (i have a vague JayTim idea where TIm fully retires from being Robin after being Joker Junior and killing the Joker, making Steph Robin for most of his typical Robin era and Jason still tracks him down out of curiosity bc he wants to know what happened and all. very underbaked but i've got thoughts.)

Renegade/Apprentice of Slade!Dick Grayson - this is another one where yes, this happened *sort of* in canon, but i highly doubt most people writing Renegate!Dick have read or are actually pulling from Nightwing: Renegade. it's just an exploration fo the concept fo Dick being Slade's apprentice and i will always eat it up in any capacity. whether Dick grows up with Slade from a young age, or chooses Slade for whatever reason later in life. it's not anything that works in canon bc it compromises Dick morally (similar to the above with Tim) and therefore will always come across incredibly fanon in most fics. but i can't say i don't enjoy it. it's fun to make Dick a little morally fucked up and see what you can make him under Slade's tutelage.

Jason & Damian Meeting in the League -there's no world where i believe this could work in the canon comics. (maybe in the Young Justice cartoon i suppose, but even then i think it's iffy) i would go as far to say it's wildly unrealistic. i don't see a world where Ra's would let Jason anywhere *near* Damian, bc Jason was Talia's pet project that he didn't approve of. that all said, there's something very interesting about how they *could've* met and them potentially bonding during that timeframe. them being somewhat brotherly during this time because Jason sees Bruce in Damian and sort of latches onto the kid and Damian is full of wonder hearing real stories about Batman and Robin, then that getting violently ripped away by Jason leaving the League is fun to me. it's fun how that could affect them within the Batfam and all. it's super fanon to me, but i do not care. i will eat it up

Bad Dad Clark Kent/Good Dad Lex Luthor - i will admit as a late, i've been less and less kind to this particular fanon bc of everything i've argued with people about, *this* one seems the most pervasive as misunderstood fanon. i don't mind when fanon exists, my gripe is when ppl try to claim it's canon. and the *arguments* i've had over this with people who can never seem to cite an actual comic are... frustrating. but that said, i think there is something fun to this strictly in fanon. the duality of who you expect to accept Kon and who you expect to hurt him being flipped is just sort of fun for the occasional guilty pleasure fic. it can make Kon's internal conflict a bit more interesting. the same goes for the Jon favoritism from Clark, it's not a canon thing (and i rlly wish ppl understood how complicated the timeline of Kon and Jon is and any distance from Clark toward Kon isn't malice, it's that Kon is from a timeline that Clark does not remember in the current canon so Clark just straight up doesn't know the poor kid.) but it's sort of fun to give Kon that complex of being overlooked and forgotten sometimes. making Kon just a *bit* more Luthor than Kent will *always* appeal to me in fanfic, especially if he *knows* it's wrong but craves approval from anyone who will give it.

Good Dad Bruce Wayne - i'll die on the hill Bruce is canonically a shitty father. maybe not to the extreme some people write him as, but he's not great at it. that said, i enjoy it in fanfiction. sometimes, i just want silly fluff or hurt/comfort where Bruce finally gets it right and manages to comfort whatever Batkid is in the fic. one of my favorite fics of all time is hinged on Bruce being a good dad, so i think it's just fun to explore how good the relationships *could* be, if Bruce was slightly less of an asshole. i usually prefer him as an asshole, but there are times i want low stakes nonsense.

Gotham Rogues Having Soft Spots for Robin(s) - just about every Rogue in Gotham has done something absolutely irredeemable, and most of them don't like or care about anyone in the Batfamily. but if there's a fic where one of the Robins inexplicably is sort of close with a Rogue and they have a cute silly relationship out of it? I'll eat it up i fear. Steph and the Riddler are besties? I'll believe it. Tim and Scarecrow get along pretty well? give me ten of these. Rogues protecting Robins just hits a spot. the unexpected nature of the relationship, as well as the fact they see each other regularly, can make a lot of good fodder.
