yo i heard a green lantern 2023 theory that i would like to talk about

i was listening to a green lantern podcast and Apparently there’s a page missing in the digital edition of green lantern #2!!!

such an important page to remove lol?? anyway this explains where all the other 2814 gls are (i thought i missed an issue or something) and most importantly 4 this post it says that [redacted] is deceased according to hal.

HERE’S THE THEORY (last chance to avoid possible spoilers)

kilowog is dead and hal’s been hallucinating him the entire book. it makes sense considering the opening scene in issue 1 with hal pretending to talk to kilowog, and the fact that kilowog was chilling with him at his trailer in issue 2. esp in issue 2 the vibe was off… earth is under quarantine so killowog wouldn’t be allowed to visit?? but i figured he was breaking to law for hal.

the podcast hosts (here’s the pod) go on to say that this explains hal’s weird treatment of carol in issue 2. regardless of ur opinion on hal locking the boyfriend in the bathroom and harassing carol on the plane it’s 1 fucking creepy and 2 out of character !!! having unprocessed grief would explain his desperation 4 her. this doesn’t excuse carol’s characterization i still think she should have told him to sprint across the 101.

but ya i love a grief storyline and hal’s mental breakdowns so i’m excited and i think this theory is true!! they also say something about kilowog being the reason why hal knows he’s in a dream in his knight terrors issue.

Did anyone else notice that seemingly one of the first things they did after bringing Thistle into the kingdom was cut his hair short?

And given what Marcille says about how important hair is to magic…. That’s probably not a coincidence.

Reminder of what No.6 is mainly about, guys.

I love Nezumi and Shion more than anything. Trust me.

But their relationship was always secondary to the novels being a political statement.

This is an actual interview with Atsuko Asano, about her inspiration for city of No.6. She quite literally said one of her inspirations for it was the political environment in the USA, following 9/11.

For her to choose to continue this series right now, after so many years, is probably not a coincidence.

Their struggles are eerily similar to what many real people face in our world all the time.

I have a feeling there will be some pretty important themes in this new series.

I hope those who read it can appreciate every element of it - not only our beloved characters, but the reason they have a story to begin with.

Breaking my silence: I think Zuko’s “I’m angry at myself” explosion in The Beach episode was queer coded

I think spy’s big finish being called “inner demons” is really funny. What do you mean “inner”. Everyone is aware of your demons. You actively make you demons everyone else’s problem. Your demons have killed billions. Those are outer demons

I know we make jokes about Jeremy and his caffeine intake, but it’s very common for recovering addicts to use stimulants like caffeine to help curb their cravings and I think we should talk about it

[dnpbeats]

phil telling dan to stop saying “I” is so interesting to me bc first of all. king of comedy. but anyway, at first I assumed he was saying it bc dan was taking credit for something phil was helping him with (navigating the game) and I was like speak king bc like phil WAS helping him. but I rewound it and phil actually doesn’t sound annoyed when he says it, at least to me. he sounds like he’s reminding dan to not say “I.” So I actually wonder if they consciously say “we did X” “we found Y” when filming, even when one of them (namely Dan) is actually the one controlling it. So now I want to go back and pay more attention to games where phil actually doesn’t help as much and see if Dan still says “we” even in situations where it would be appropriate for him to say “I” (which to reiterate is not this situation, he should’ve said we found it regardless lol bc phil was helping 🙂‍↕️)

or am I tripping and phil was annoyed and I just didn’t pick up on it 💀

i realized the other day that i haven’t really talked all that much about the last handful of episodes of season 5 and haven’t really touched on the ending of chloe’s story at all. and i really only see people who are upset about it talk about her last few scenes so i do want to offer an alternative take on it, which is basically: to me, chloe’s story ended in tragedy. i don’t really care what astruc has said on twitter or what was leaked in bibles or scripts. i’m looking at the story we actually got, the one that ended with this moment.

does marinette tell her off right before this? yes. and this should be a moment of victory for marinette, right? she’s finally free from chloe, in every way.

but we don’t see marinette after this. this is the last shot of marinette in the episode before it cuts to chloe’s reaction. marinette’s face is still there, but only as the contact image on chloe’s phone. marinette herself is gone. the rest of the episode only shows us chloe and lila. from here on out, we are not in marinette’s story. we’re in theirs.

and it’s here, when we move out of marinette’s story, that we see chloe’s is tragedy. chloe is the villain in marinette’s story and the victim in her own. this is not just about protagonist centered morality, though that plays a role. it’s about not just whose side the story takes but also what marinette is allowed to know and see. marinette only ever gets the smallest glimpse of chloe’s home life and family, but as the viewers we get to see more. and it is after marinette dismisses her and hangs up in revolution that chloe stops being a part of marinette’s story, and, in that moment, loses the role of the villain. freed from marinette’s story, we see her alone, sobbing, because she’s left with only her own story, where she is the victim.

and it’s notable that chloe tried to reject that story. she chooses marinette’s story, again and again. that’s why she called marinette in the end. chloe would rather play the villain. calling sabrina, asking for comfort, would be accepting that she’s a victim, which chloe isn’t ready for. unfortunately, marinette doesn’t give her a choice: marinette’s story doesn’t have room for chloe anymore. she’s fought her demons and has new ones to face. the only role left for chloe to play in marinette’s story is the girl ladybug couldn’t save.

so yeah, this ending is tragic. and i genuinely hurt for chloe in that moment. but i never once thought we were supposed to see her as unredeemable or celebrate her being sent off to her mother. i don’t know what the story plans to do with chloe next - whether she’s gone for good or she’ll come back worse or come back better. but i know this moment, by taking us out of marinette’s perspective, asked us to sympathize with a girl suffering at the end of her downward spiral.

I hate it when I headcanon a character who’s canonically a girl as a trans man and make ships of him and a character who’s canonically a guy and I refer to it as a gay/mlm/guyxguy/whatever ship and someone gets mad. Like omg let trans people have FUNNNNN. Why are queer headcanons and genderbends cool until they’re saying that the character is trans???

“OMGGG you’re so misogynistic I can’t believe you would erase FEMALE representation!!!”

and like half of the characters in the franchise are women, and a total of… NONE of the characters are trans men. Also, my headcanon doesn’t change the source material. If my stuff upsets you, you can block me and go engage with the source or maybe every single other fanwork, since mine is the only trans man hc for this character that I’ve ever seen.

or when people are like “WTF??? this is so transphobic!!! how dare you imply that a character who looks like that could be a trans man?!?! do you think that trans men are women or something??? she uses she/her, and you’re misgendering her!”

No, I don’t think that being a trans man makes you a woman or vice versa. That’s why it’s a headcanon, and the headcanon is that this character is actually a trans man and not a woman at all! You’ll never guess what pronouns most trans men had to use at some point in their lives, and you really won’t like it when you find out about pre-(or no-)transition trans men… or trans men who are in the closet… or trans men who don’t know that they’re trans yet.

“But the character is a kid!!! Saying they’re trans is sexualizing them.”

I’ve seen this one from other queer people. Like did you miss when all of the homophobes said this about your identity, or do you think that bigotry is only bad when it’s directed at you?

“Why would you say ‘testosterone could fix her’??? Are you trying to call her a delusional woman?”

Why would your brain even go to that first? This literally has to be a bad faith reading, because there’s no way that someone could see what I said and get this unless they were specifically looking for something to be mad at me for.

(Note for anyone unaware: “Estrogen would’ve fixed him!” was a meme going around at the time I said this. I’m not sure if it’s still super big, but this was a joke to the effect of that.)

“So girls can’t be tomboys anymore? You just wanna trans everyone?”

This is like actual real life transphobic rhetoric. This isn’t even just shitting on my headcanon, but in fact, sending transphobic hate to a trans man. Thanks 👍. Maybe you should go send JK Rowling another message about how much you loved her essay instead of bothering me.

Monster High Skullector vs. Living Dead Dolls Presents part 1

(part 2) (part Addams)

[agathasvidal]

i have a theory that rio is everything behind the witches road. billy’s created the road through a hex? nah, rio has created it and has lured who she needs there, there (we still do not know who the who is). rewatch agatha’s reaction as the door appears and she enters the witches road, and also her reaction to rio appearing after they summoned a green witch, with this in mind … i agree with the theories that suggest agatha and rio created the ‘idea’ of the road to collect their power and bodies respectively - alternatively, i believe it may have been solely agatha who created this lie, but rio knew about it, which would mean if rio has created the road, it’s a massive f you to agatha - a very interesting point to remember when rewatching the above scenes i mentioned.

They are going to speak to Alice (or at least her spirit) in the last episodes!

And here’s how I know it. Obviously, we’ve seen the clips of her in the trailers, so she is going to be seen again somehow. But I’m convinced they are going to speak to her using a summoning circle. And the best part is- the show has been telling us this in every single episode…. IN THE CREDITS!

Very quickly- almost blink if you’ll miss it, this comes up before Ali Ahn’s name:

It says “Can You Talk To The Dead?”

And Ali Ahn’s name appears over a classic summoning circle:

Every other image behind the actor’s credits relates to their character in a very direct way. Jennifer’s credit has crystals, Sharon’s has flowers, etc.

This summoning circle has never been seen in the show before, and has not been associated with Alice in any way.

But look what is in the trailers and promo materials for the last few episodes…

There has also been shots of a hand drawing a circle with chalk on the ground, and candles being lit up:

Which is all crazy, because the show has been telling us all along. They are going to talk to Alice again using a summoning circle!!

“What struck me about him and what I’ve kind of talked about since the beginning of working on this project was he was very warm. He loved music. He never wanted to be referred to as Major Rosenthal on the field, he just wanted to be Rosie. He enjoyed getting close to the people he was working with so they felt they could put their trust in him and vice versa. That is something I found very attractive — it’s that balance between his steely determination and his outrageous courage with his warmth.”
