#he's sooo lucky im committed to using him

[yuuminni]

diamant's special class having access to S sword is such bait considering he does best at being an axe boy. great build growth AND decent speed growth AND a personal that gives him +15 hit on player phase which is extremely good for axes since axes by nature have low hit rate... whats not to like. doubling with tomahawk is very nice and its just not worth it to weigh kagetsu down with it, and panette is glued to her lyn engraved killer axe

Ghhhhshh im so sorry bc im like. Pretty sure u made a post abt the callander boys pretty recently but.. If ur up to it can we get more on whqt u think of them?😋 i love them SOOO MUCHHH and the way u talk abt them is always so AWESOMEEEE

rubbing my grubby little mits together

The origins of my Mac and Davey Callander: their parents immigrated from Scotland when Mac was a wee toddler. Davey was later born in America. Mac had a completely normal childhood, went to school, and was well on his way to being just some guy when their father was killed in a wagon incident. He left school to look after Davey while their mother tried to find work. Being a woman, this was nearly impossible, and it wasn't long before their house knew the glow of a red lamp. A few months shy of Mac's 10th birthday, their mother also passed away (syphilis) and he was left orphaned and sole carer for a 4 year old Davey

Mac spent the next 3 years in a perpetual state of terror, selling what he could, stealing what he had to, chasing the pipe dream of giving Davey a normal life. Less than a year after their mom died, the landlord kicked them out. For Davey, their new life of camping out under the stars was another amazing adventure. Mac, in contrast, was so stressed his hair fell out in chunks and the only time he slept was when he collapsed.

Things got a lot easier after Mac decided to pick a handgun off a guy who passed out drunk at a bar. Originally, it was for safety, and then the occasional intimidation tactic in a hold-up, and then before they knew it Davey was 17 and they were committing their first bank robbery together.

They'd never run with the gang before the VDLs. It had only ever been the two of them, which showed in their uncanny ability to know what the other was thinking at all times: especially on a job. The only thing witnesses would report them saying to one another was Mac giving Davey a firm 'no' for seemingly no reason - every single time Davey had been thinking about doing something stupid, like firing his weapon just to scare the poor accidental hostages more. Or maybe killing the teller and just breaking their way into a vault instead of waiting.

Dutch was the one to recruit them, using bounty posters as a catalogue for potential new members. It was 1896: Mac had just turned 31, Davey 26 - and everyone except Dutch immediately hated them. It was obvious that Dutch wasn't looking for recruits, he was looking for replacements. John had run off and Arthur was bedridden with mourning having found Eliza and Isaac's graves. For Dutch to pick up two similarly aged, similarly talented gunslinging brothers felt like a punch to the gut: they were all replaceable.

But damnit, for outlaws, the Callanders were just too likeable for it to stick. When the awkwardness of having not interacted with anyone other than his brother for over 20 years was too much, Mac factory-defaulted to his polite Scottish Catholic upbringing. He was a brute, but always addressed the gang seniority as sir, or ma'am, and smacked his brother hard over the head reminding him to thank Pearson for the burnt, tasteless gruel.

Davey had the same appeal as the then even younger Sean Macguire: he was loud, he was energy, twitching to go and always the first to volunteer for a mission no matter how small the take was going to be. Unlike Sean, though, he had an off switch in the form of his brother. Davey was like a hunting dog with Mac holding the leash. But that energy was what the gang desperately needed that dark year, when half of them were considering taking off just so they could get a damned night's sleep with a colicky infant Jack around.

Davey loved an audience: being around a regular group of people was the best thing to happen to him. Javier learned English from Davey because Davey would constantly talk to him despite the fact Javier was lucky to pick up every third word. Not being the youngest anymore also inflated Davey's ego tenfold. Sean might have been 17-18, but the hero worship he had for Davey was obvious. They both had the gift of the gab and could talk to each other until they went hoarse, and Sean obviously picked up Davey's impulsive, reckless 'hit 'em hard and loud' mentality on a job.

On a job, it was like music. Mac was used to being the one making plans: he could pick bigger scores now that it wasn't just him and Davey. With a look Mac would send Davey to the back door, and when the sight of one lone gunman started to make people think they could fight back, Davey would burst in on queue to make them think twice. The VDLs that went with just learned where to slot themselves in like puzzle pieces coming together - and if the Callanders had made it to Horseshoe Overlook, they would've had enough money to make it Tahiti. The gang had never lived so comfortably before. The stew actually started to taste good.

Arthur's rage hearing about Mac's death was personal: Mac really was one of his besties in the gang. He might have hated working with him, because Mac wasn't the sort to take orders from anyone, but in camp, Mac was one of the few people he could talk to. They were a similar age, but what they really bonded over was that silent feeling of having the entire world on their shoulders. Arthur's entire adult life was dedicated to the gang, the same way Mac's entire life had been dedicated to keeping his brother safe. They could just sit quietly around the campfire and drink, until liquor loosened their lips enough to properly bond over how unfair their lives had been without ever actually complaining about the hand they'd been dealt.

Mac was the only member of the gang, outside of the OGs (Dutch, Hosea, John (and Abigail), Grimshaw and Tilly) that Arthur ever told about Isaac.

Do you have any fan casts or strong takes/feelings on the foxes’ appearances? Fandom tends to use the same Pinterest models, which feels wrong to me.

i do in fact! i've actually been meaning to make a post about how i choose to write all of the foxes' ethnicities anyway

but yes i absolutely agree that the typical pinterest model types u generally see on edits is not how i see any of them. nor is reece king or froy gutierrez or lucky blue smith one of my FCs for anyone

for a lot of them i don't necessarily have a single specific FC so much as i have like,, a general impression of features that i will see on various different people, who all may look wildly different from each other or who may not even look how i see the character as a whole but do have a specific feature i associate with them. mostly it boils down to the Energy i get tbh and that's just a Feeling i cant even explain

fun fact im a tiny bit face blind so that might account for some of why i'm so all-over about this

may as well go chronologically. some of them i definitely have more thoughts on than others

1. Dan

ethnicity: Afro Native (Sioux)

features: medium dark skin. buzzcut, killer fade. she often styles it in waves. she's very butch, wears a lot of basketball and cargo shorts, tank tops and flannels and jerseys, hiking boots. skinny but muscular, with a very rectangular body shape. defined jaw. probably like 5'4 or 5'5

FC/Energy: sometimes i get some dan energy out of janelle monae but more butch. lotta dan energy out of samira wiley. lashana lynch

2. Kevin

ethnicity: a lot of things tbd, but he's pretty multi-ethnic. i like the idea of kayleigh being half- or a quarter-japanese in addition to irish because it gives her more of a reason to go to japan for her undergrad. wymack is from d.c. which is a majority black city for its actual residents, but i also like the idea of him being Pasifika/Hawaiian. HOWEVER - and this is pretty important to my read of kevin's character - he's white passing, and has been mostly treated as a white guy who tans his whole life, like occasionally asked if he's italian maybe. learning that his father was a Distinctly Not White Man was a big shock to him.

kristin kreuk, lindsay price, phoebe cates, and marie digby are all half-asian actresses i base kayleigh on

i suppose i base his story partially on broadway actress carol channing, who revealed publically that she was a quarter black when she was like 80 years old. though maybe wentworth miller, a biracial actor who knows his father is black but also doesn't know him, is more accurate to kevin's story. then keanu reeves is a white passing actor with asian ancestry

also none of these people look anything like how i picture kevin lol. kevin is just like,, a guy. handsome ig. but kind of in a CW character kind of way

actually

kevin looks exactly like young jason momoa

3. Andrew

ethnicity: kayin/karen from myanmar

features: fat and muscular, very wide and heavy. this blog is basically all andrew body type refs. medium-olive skin, has a bit of a greyish tinge that makes him look a bit eerie or unhealthy. deep set, droopy eyes; looks so tired. flat face with a low-bridged nose. crooked teeth, especially his canines. natural hair black-ish but he bleaches it light blond. has the beginnings of martial artist punching callouses in his knuckles

FC/Energy: holy shit the characters i feel have Andrew Energy are all over the place. pedro pascal. babe ruth (yes fr). oddjob (harold sakata) from goldfinger. the jinn (mousa kraish) from american gods. gaear grimsrud (peter stormare) from fargo. takeshi kovacs (joel kinnaman) from altered carbon. and i wanna be clear, it's these characters specifically, and generally NOT the actors outside of that specific role. except pedro ❤️

4. Matt

ethnicity: cuban

appearance: matt has more of an Energy than specific features to me rn. that energy is Warm. he has that Warm bro jock dude energy. kind of a marvel hero build, hunky and muscular. very rectangular face. has this haircut:

5. Aaron

i get to cut myself some slack and not go AS in depth about aaron because he and andrew are identical twins

ethnicity: kayin/karen from myanmar

appearance: similar build to andrew, less confident and casual posture and body language. less apathetically murderous and more emotive expressions. better teeth bc his mom took him to the dentist. yes also bleaches his hair

celebrities: probably a lot like the difference between the characters and the actors. andrew is the characters and aaron is how the actors actually look. idk ive never looked at someone and thought 'hey! looks like aaron!'

6. Seth

ethnicity: have been going with half-vietnamese. considering looking into various south asian possibilities like pakistani

appearance: string bean build. that's all i have to offer

7. Allison

ethnicity: allison's very up in the air for me. she and seth are the two foxes i feel fine with being white, but im committing to having no white foxes sooo. i would say i generally see her as either half-middle eastern or chinese

appearance: plus sized and hourglass shaped. heart shaped face. taller, like 5'8 or 5'9. she has a pretty fraught history with her appearance and her parents payed for/pressured her into getting a nose job to have a 'prettier' nose. she also bleaches her hair blonde. she gets it done at a salon tho the twinyards do it in their bathroom

FC/Energy: elle king and nadia aboulhosn are my main inspos for her, esp body type but nadia esp in Vibes

8. Nicky

ethnicity: multi-ethnic. his mother is southern mexican Indigenous, possibly oaxacan. his father is mixed white/kayin

appearance: definitely takes after his mother while his father is white passing. dark brown skin, warm undertones. slightly stocky build. tall ovular head and thin aquiline nose. he's kind of just,, the opposite of the twins ig, so like their facial features look very different, which is a big part of why people don't make the connection between him and the twins alongside the difference in their skin tones, heights, and builds. nicky's build and features are very vertically-oriented, with a tall head, narrow-set eyes, thin nose with a high bridge, etc. the twins are horizontally-orienged, with broad, flat faces, wide-set eyes, wide noses with a low bridge, etc.

FC/Energy: yalitza aparicio, not a guy but one of the few Mexican Indigenous stars in the film industry and i really like her features for nicky. she's oaxacan

9. Renee

ethnicity: Black. african american

appearance: plus sized, circular/apple body shape. round face. dark skin. microlocs to a bit past her chin, bleached white and dyed at the ends. she and allison go to the salon together. femme but plain style, a lot of blouses and long skirts, practical shoes. knuckle callouses. about 5'6

FC/Energy: dominique fishback. tracie thoms, esp in RENT. gabourey sidibe. nicole byer, but not in Energy. brandy, for some reason, probably bc i think she has very serene Energy and is a little bit otherworldly. like if brandy played arwen or galadriel from lotr it would make perfect sense to me, and that's the Renee Energy™️

10. Neil

ethnicity: mixed. Black/Jewish on both sides. his father is polish ashkenazi and afro-brazilian. his mother is Black British and algerian jewish

appearance: very... sharp. like sharp all over. does that make sense? sharp features, sharp face shape, sharp angles to his body. he's got what i vaguely think of as a 'basketball build' not meaning tall but meaning very rangy and angular and lean. all limbs. seth has a similar build. lighter brown skin. he has waardenburg syndrome which is actually where he gets he gets his eye color, and his eyes are very large and widely spaced as well. freckles freckles freckles. freckles everywhere. 4a hair but at least during canon it's not very healthy and thus the curls aren't well-defined. he grows it out long enough to tie back and starts taking better care of it in post-canon. wonky, slightly crooked teeth, with a gap between the fronts

FC/Energy: now neil i actually have a ton for. mostly models which im a lil ashamed of bc i do try to draw more from athletes. alton mason is a main body type ref. mugsy bogues is good to see what i mean about the basketball build without the height. here're the boys: cykeem white, luka sabbat, désiré mia, Leo Hoyte-Egan, dylan hasselbaink, this beautiful stock photo model i've never been able to track down

i think about him every. goddamn. day.

in terms of like,, real ppl and not models: corbin bleu, especially during Jump In. figure skater elladj balde. rayan "ray ray" lopez from mindless behavior. A$AP Rocky a lil bit, maybe i just like his hairstyle idk

two more models i think are important: carissa pinkston and ralph souffrant

[maybeimamuppet]

day 21 (with twins): inviting friends over

the twins are seven months old here!

—————

“Do you think Damian still has his Santa costume from high school?” Cady asks one night at about two in the morning.

“Why?” Janis groans, crawling back into bed after getting the twins back to sleep.

“I want to get Santa photos with the squishes,” Cady says. “But the mall can be kind of overwhelming, and their stranger danger sense is sort of on overdrive right now. But they know him, so I think if he was willing to be Santa for us they’d go a lot better.”

“Oh,” Janis yawns. “He probably does, I’ll text him tomorrow. If not we can just put you in your rocking around the pole costume.”

“Absolutely not,” Cady yawns back. “I should’ve burned that thing a long time ago.”

“Noooo,” Janis pleads. Cady flicks her gently before cuddling in under the duvet.

“Dork. Goodnight, I love you.”

“I love you too.”

-

Janis keeps her promise and texts Damian as soon as they wake up the next morning, while Cady feeds the babies.

danis: 👍👍

“Okay, he says he doesn’t have it anymore, but he’s gonna buy a new one,” Janis says. Cady hands over a baby to be burped and gets to work feeding the next one.

“He doesn’t have to do that,” Cady says.

“I tried to tell him that,” Janis murmurs, drumming gently on her baby’s back. “He’s a very committed uncle.”

“Yeah,” Cady says, smiling down at the baby nursing and gently stroking a finger over a chubby cheek. “You two are so lucky. You have sooo many people who love you.”

Janis holds the baby she has aloft and kisses all over her face, smiling at the happy little squeal she gets in response. “But we love you most!”

—-

“Ho ho ho!” Damian greets when he enters their house the next day, trailed by Aaron in an elf costume. “Oh my goodness, Christmas fairies.”

Cady smiles and bounces the babies slightly to make them smile. They’re in matching long sleeved white onesies, complete with fluffy tutus and little Santa hats. Leo’s onesie says ‘Santa Baby’ in red, and Layla’s says it in green. “They just woke up from their nap, they’re still a little tired. Come here, girls, come say hi!”

Damian reaches out to hold them to say hello, so Cady passes them both over. Janis comes down the stairs then, holding a white sheet Regina had requested for their backdrop. “Hey guys. Looking killer.”

“Thanks,” Aaron nods, making the bell on top of his hat jingle. “Two for one deal.”

“You do look awesome,” Cady laughs. Her daughters seem to be assessing Damian. Neither of them have cuddled in like they usually do, and are instead staring intently at his face. Leo suddenly gives a frightened whimper and bursts into tears. Layla screams when her sister starts to cry and continues wailing as they both reach out for someone to take them away from the scary stranger who’s grabbed them. “Oh no! Oh, sweethearts, come here.”

She takes her babies back carefully, pouting as they both bury their terrified little faces in her shoulder and cry. Janis motions for Damian to take his hat and beard off so they can see his face before she comes to help Cady calm the babies down.

“Eee!” Leo wails desperately when she sees Janis’ face, clinging to her tightly while Layla is wrapped around Cady.

“Shh, Bumblebee, Mommy’s got you,” Janis hushes. “That’s just Uncle Damian, baby! Look.”

Leo warily pokes her little face out to see, wrapping her arms tightly around Janis for safety. Janis holds her just as tight and points to Damian, who waves.

“Hi Lolo! It’s just me,” he says in his usual voice. “You don’t have to be scared.”

“Dedede?” Leo asks curiously, tilting her head in confusion. It definitely didn’t look like Uncle Damian a minute ago.

“Yeah, that’s Uncle Damian, see?” Janis asks. Leo sniffles, but continues looking. Janis dries her baby’s tears and kisses her cheek. “Mama and I won’t give you to strangers, you’re okay.”

“I get it man, I’m scared of Santa too,” Damian chuckles, taking Leo back as she reaches out for him again. “He seeeees you when you’re sleeping, and knoooooows when you’re awake!”

“That is kinda creepy,” Cady laughs, still trying to coax Layla to look again. “My poor little squish, you’re okay! Mama’s here, you’re okay, I promise. Shh, sweetheart.”

“Hey,” Regina calls as she enters the house with her camera, flanked by her girlfriends.

“Uh oh, what happened to the babies?” Karen frowns.

“We had a scare with Santa,” Janis chuckles. “They’re only seven months old, they’re not the best with faces yet.”

“This one seems fine,” Gretchen says, tickling Leo’s tummy and kissing her cheek in greeting as she heads by. Leo giggles and tucks her head to try to squish Gretchen away.

“Yeah, and she’s usually our little scaredy cat too,” Cady giggles. “Must be the uncle love override. Lala’s just taking her time.”

“Poor thing,” Aaron frowns. “Can I try something?”

“Of course,” Cady says, continuing to bounce and hush her baby to calm her down. Aaron comes up and gently tries to get Layla to turn her head the other way. After a bit of tapping and gentle coaxing, Layla flips her head around and rests against her teary face back against Cady’s shoulder.

Aaron takes his hat off so she can see his face a bit better, then covers it with his hands. “Peek a boo!”

Layla pauses her wailing for a second, confused by this new game. Aaron does it again and gets a very serious face in return. The third time seems to be the charm, as Layla finally gives a little smile. Aaron continues doing it until she giggles.

“Aww, there we go,” Cady chuckles. “Do you wanna go with Uncle Aaron?”

Layla sniffles and nods, reaching out for him. Aaron takes her and gently tosses her in the air a couple times before bringing her back over to Damian.

“Look, see? Your sister’s with Damian, you don’t have to be scared of him,” Aaron says. Layla pensively chews on an index finger. “You’re gonna hold some serious grudges when you’re older, kiddo.”

“Eee,” Layla says, reaching for Janis. She’s still a little wary of everything going on.

“Come here,” Janis chuckles, taking her daughter from Aaron. “It’s just Uncle Damian! He just had on a silly hat, look. No strangers.”

Layla looks thoughtfully, but makes no effort to leave Janis’ hold. Janis chuckles again and carries her over to the living room.

“Poor baby. Let’s go see what Aunt Reggie’s up to, hm?”

“Stop calling me that!” Regina calls as she stands on the couch to hang the sheet from the ceiling. Gretchen adds some decorative ornaments around so it’s not all one color.

“Regina’s too hard for them to say,” Janis defends.

“What about Gretchen?”

“They can’t say Gretchen either,” Janis says. She points to Gretchen standing nearby. “Who’s that, Ladybug?”

“Gigigigi,” Layla babbles.

“See? Gretchen’s Aunt GG.”

“Why can’t I be Aunt Gina or something?”

Janis shrugs. “That bit’s just me. I think Aunt Reggie suits you.”

“I hate you,” Regina grumbles sarcastically. “Only for you two, Layla. I’ll only be Reggie for you.”

Layla giggles even though she clearly doesn’t understand what they’re talking about. Janis smiles when she sees her baby smile. “There we go, there’s my happy girl. Are you ready for your pictures?”

Layla looks at her curiously and nods. Regina smiles and comes over. “I should get some practice ones, can I hold you?”

Layla eagerly reaches out for her auntie, and Janis lets her go. Regina positions her on the sheet covered couch and crouches down to get some practice shots so her camera is properly adjusted for the lighting in this environment. Layla pats the cushions she’s on with her little hands and starts chewing on her tutu.

“Ladybug, what are you doing?” Cady chuckles when she comes to see what they’re up to. Damian, Aaron, and Leo follow her. “Is your outfit yummy?”

“Mmmmm,” Layla replies with a little smile.

“You little goofball,” Cady hums affectionately. Layla reaches out, so Cady goes to kiss all over her little face. “You’re such a good model! Such a big smile for your pictures!”

“Those outfits are adorable,” Regina says as she sneakily snaps a few of Cady with one of her babies. Damian heads over and pops Leo by her sister so they can get some of the two of them together. “Ah, there’s the other one! Can one of you get them to look at me? Ish?”

Karen does a goofy little dance behind Regina and waves one of their toys around to make a jingle noise. The babies look at her and giggle at her antics, making for an absolutely adorable photo.

“Do you want any with you guys?” Regina asks. Janis looks at Cady, who shrugs and nods. Each of them take a baby on their lap and hold them close. Regina coaches them through a few poses. Kissing while the babies smile at the camera, kissing the babies, tickling the babies and smiling at their giggles. They also get one gem inadvertently as Layla tried to wriggle into a new position and stuck her little fist into Janis’ mouth.

“Alright, how are we doing this if they’re scared of Santa?” Regina asks once that’s sorted out, resting her camera against her shoulder. Damian shrugs.

“Sit down,” Janis says, a plan forming in her mind. Damian does as the babies are gently removed to make room. “Okay, now take them and let them look at you for a while.”

Damian does, holding the twins to face him on his lap. They both giggle and reach for his face like normal, wanting to play with their favorite uncle. Damian tickles them and cuddles them to make them feel safe.

Slowly, the babies are turned to face the camera, and Aaron sneaks up to put Damian’s hat and beard back on.

“Now everyone do literally anything to stop them looking backwards,” Janis instructs. Everyone understands the assignment.

Regina moves around the room for different angles so they track her instead of looking at Damian. Aaron jingles the bell on his hat to catch their eye, and Gretchen and Karen dance behind Regina. Cady sits on the ground just out of frame and coos at them keep their attention, and Janis grabs some of their favorite snacks to offer as a reward every time they get a few solid photos.

“That’s probably enough,” Regina says after snapping a few almost directly in their faces. Layla reaches out to grab her camera, and Regina just barely pulls it back in time to avoid getting chubby little fingerprints all over the very expensive lens. “Good job, twins!”

Everyone goes to peek over her shoulders at a few of the photos. Cady smiles happily at the ones she’s allowed to see. “These are perfect, oh my goodness! So cute. Thank you guys so much.”

“Anytime,” Damian chuckles. “We love these munchkins!”

Leo looks at him warily, but this time Damian remembers to remove his beard and hat. She stays suspicious, but reaches for him again.

“Do you guys want to stay for dinner? We have cookies,” Janis offers.

“Jay, we can’t give them cookies for dinner,” Cady admonishes.

“No, I meant, like… separately. Those were two different offers,” Janis corrects.

“Oh. Yeah, do you guys want to stay?”

Everyone looks to their respective partners to check before shrugging. “Yeah, sure. We haven’t seen enough of you guys recently.”

—-

They may have ended up having cookies for dinner.

hope you enjoyed!! see you tomorrow!

[ruffiorocks]

Lena isnt the only one who has killed people.

Soo this might be unpopular, but if people are going to harp on about Lena killing Lex id like to remind you of a few other instances you seem to have forgotten about:

1. Kara killed or rather ‘obliterated’ parasite. Parasite was actually the mutated version of an innocent man called Rudy who was taken over by a parasite that corrupted him. Kara made the decision to kill him. Now whether you agree if this was justified or not is up to you,  but the fact is KARA made the decision to KILL a dangerous monster that would have caused all manner of havoc and nearly killed Jonn. But remember that Rudy himself was an innocent.

2, Anyone remember when Alex killed Astra with a KRYPTONITE sword?! Alex didnt have to kill Astra, Astra hesitated when she said she would kill Jonn. Alex could have stabbed her anywhere, like literally anywhere and then Jonn could have gotten out of the way. Again, this is up to you if you think its justified or not. But its still someone being killed. Astra wanted to save Earth, she didnt go about it in the best way but she wasnt your typical bad guy out for themselves. Alex killed her to protect Jonn.

3. I dont know why this one is ignored so much since it happened so recently, but am i the only one who saw Jonn MURDER an unarmed Manchester Black because Manchester taunted him? No just me that saw this happen? Manchester made Jonn see his family and then a white martian, Jonn, a centuries year old alien who has been through some s**t allowed Manchester to get to him, he then morphed into his Martian form in a rage, disarmed Manchester and didnt even hesitate to run him through with that staff! In other words, Jonn disarmed a guy and murdered an unarmed man because he got pissed. This one unlike the others, doesn't actual have any justifiable reason! 

4. Lena shoots Corbin, a man who had a GUN to Alex’s head, Kara is not faster than a gun touching Alex’s head. Adam died as a result of the Harun El, but he made the decision to go ahead with that even after Lena told him no and to go home. Adam was not a child, or a ‘kid’ he was an adult who made an adult and well informed decision. It went to s**t and Lena refused to do it again even when she was told to by Col Haley. You can talk legal ethics and all that jazz, but the fact is the show hasn't got time for logistics, if it did half the show would be in question.  Lex, a man who previously committed mass murders, both before and actually within the court. He killed all his guards, he then attempted to destroy Argo City (a city thriving now because Lena managed to figure out how to make Harun El), he was literally only seconds before trying to kill Kara! Lena knows that the world wont be safe with Lex in it so she makes the painful decision to shoot him. 

7. Remember when Kara went in guns blazing to kill Reign? When she made the decision to kill Reign but f**ked it up so Mon El and Alura died? She had to turn back time so she could save them and change HER DECISION to kill Reign. Shame Lena didnt have a time travel option to undo her mistakes.

6. Does anyone remember when Jonn was so pissed to see a White Martian he put KRYPTONITE hand cuffs on Kara, he had to have been carrying around with him so she couldn't stop him from killing the white martian? Alex and Kara had to beg Jonn not to murder it while it was UNCONCIOUS! No? Just me that remembers this then. Lucky Jonn had Kara there eh? 

7. Just a small one here, but does anyone remember when James, Winn and another CatCo employee were under the effects of Myriad and jumped off a building? Kara couldn't save all three, but she consciously chose to save James and Winn before that other woman. This isn't the same as her CHOOSING to kill Parasite, but Kara still made the decision to grab her friends first. This isnt necessarily a bad act, but it was Kara making a life and death decision for someone else in favor of two of her friends. We all know we would do the same, but that woman still died. 

Sooo how is the only bad one here Lena? Lena kills the DC version of Hitler 2.0 to protect the world, like the others who have all killed someone. But apparently Lena  is evil incarnate? Lex deserved a fair trial? Just like Hitler did? Yeah... no! If you had the chance to kill Hitler you would of. Lena apparently is the only one who is held accountable when she is responsible for a death, but Alex, Jonn and Kara get off Scott free and those deaths are completely forgotten. 

Kara wont ever forgive Lena for killing Lex or for the death of Adam? Well Kara was pissed at Jonn for a while because she thought he killed her aunt, someone she was related to and loved (so not the same as Lex) but when she found out that it was Alex, her own SISTER that killed Astra she was shocked for all of 5 seconds before she hugged Alex and reached out a hand to Jonn who had lied about it. Not sure Lena needs forgiveness from Kara for shooting HER brother anyway. 

Kara was also completely fine with the fact that Lena shot Corbin to save Alex. She even used it as an example when she was defending Lena to the rest of the gang. 

Adams death doesn't actually have bugger all to do with Kara even if she does find out. 

Kara was shocked for all of 5 seconds when Jonn unnecessarily killed an unarmed Manchester Black. When they got back to the hospital that same day she told him he could still be a man of peace and wasnt arsed at all. 

So Kara can forgive Alex for killing a member of her family, she can forgive Jonn for killing Manchester, she can forgive Lena for shooting Corbin who was trying to kill Alex, she can live with the fact she killed Parasite (with NO consequences and an apparent ‘no kill’ rule) and in an alternate time line attempted to kill Reign, but for some unexplained reason KARA wont be able to forgive Lena for shooting the insane, mass murdering, genocidal, psychopath who tried to kill her cousin, tried to kill her, tried to kill her best friend (Lena) had her other friend (James) shot, and attempted genocide again on Argo City that would have killed Kara’s mother and the rest of her race? Yeah..... I see some double standards going on here.

For the record, Lena doesn't need Kara’s forgiveness for the deaths of Lex and Adam. If she faced consequences for those she would be the ONLY one out of all the above to face consequences for killing people. Its lucky that Jonn had Kara around to talk him out of killing the martian, didnt seem to remember that little talk when it came down to Manchester, and Kara didn't seem to remember it either. Its a shame Lena didn't have her best friend to talk her out of killing Lex, but that another story. 

In conclusion, Lena is NOT the only one on this show who has killed/murdered someone. I honesty believe its just because people are looking at Lena expecting bad things to happen, or they hate her and they see nothing but bad things. But the others are all the ‘designated’ heroes so any murder or death they cause is absolutely fine, justifiable and instantly forgotten. They never face any consequences for their actions. Jonn was a civilian who killed another civilian, if Kara was actually doing her ‘JOB’ she should have taken him to the police station/DEO like she does anybody else. But again, logistics. 

For the record, im not saying there weren't reasons for all these deaths, or the above characters are bad, im just stating that it isnt all black and white and they aren't any better than Lena in these cases .

Whether or not what Lena did was right or wrong, the others have essentially done the same or had to be prevented from doing the same. Lena unfortunately didn't have a bestie super to talk her out of it, or the option of time travel to fix it. 

Oh and one last thing in response to “Lena HAD Kryptonite!”

1. Alex shot her SISTER out of the sky with Kryptonite. 

2. Jonn carried around a Kryptonite knife he ‘really liked’ and was disappointed when Kara the kryptonian didnt bring it back with her after a fight?? 

3. Jonn had Kryptonite cuffs he brought to a fight with him purely so he could use them on Kara so she could stop him from killing an unconscious alien. 

Rant over.

As always, discussion welcome, abuse not so much :-)

shit about my cryoskate (lizzie/gisu) fishie au that no one asked for

im just calling them fishies/sea monsters cuz idek if they have a proper fantasy name (unless merfolk counts but it doesn't feel fitting enough to me)

--

fishie people: Lizzie, Sam (and the other Booles by extension), Norma and Augustus

human people: Gisu, Morris, Adam, Lili, Truman, Milla, Sasha, Otto and Dona

half human half fishie: all the Aquato kids, though its a mix and match of who looks more human or fish like (Dion is very human passing which is why he's able to go to the college. Frazie, Queepie and Mirtala have more fish traits than human, then Raz is a fair mix of both)

--

Gisu

college student in the PNW area

majoring in psychology but would much rather go into engineering (she eventually changes majors tho)

she likes to hang out at a run down skate park that no one else ever goes to bc its rumored to be haunted or something

its a bit far from campus tho so she has to drive there

she got lucky with housing and doesn't have any roommates

she's friends with Dion, Morris and Adam who are all go to the same college

Lizzie

lives in the waters in the same area with her sister (their parents left them on their own when they were still teenagers and now she has abandonment issues bc of it)

local cryptid

most of the fish people dont go on land much but lizzie loves to go there at night mostly to fuck around

she likes to steal licenses plates and has a collection of them in her room (her goal is to get all 50 states)

Sam is her partner in crime (when she doesnt have to watch Dogen)

hangs out around the old skate park a lot (basically shes the reason its considered haunted bc she fucks with people so much)

sooo basic premise is that Gisu accidentally hits Lizzie with her car one night on her way home from the skate park, she panics and takes her back to her dorm and just puts her in the bathtub for the night. the next day Lizzie wakes up and feels Fine, she and Gisu talk for a while and hit it off pretty well, then she drives Lizzie back to the park so she can go home, but after that incident they start hanging out a lot and eeeeeventually start dating :)

other notes

Adam actually knew Lizzie before hand, they met as kids and they're still besties but dont hang out as much since Adam became so focused on school

the Aquato family used to travel constantly like in canon but they decided to stay in the area so Dion could go to school and they could be there to support him (they live on a house boat)

Frazie, Mirtala and Queepie spend most of their time in the water with their dad while Raz likes to go between land and water a lot

Raz's best friends are still Lili and Dogen. Lili spends a lot of time on the campus since her dad is the chancellor. Dogen is afraid of going on land but Lili will sneak out to come swim with the both of them sometimes

Sasha, Milla and Otto are all professors

Otto is a professor for science/technology and mechanics so Gisu looks up to him the most as a role model

Frazie and Norma are in a pretty committed relationship, and it's kind of softened them up a bit, so they're not as mean anymore and generally have become more protective to their younger siblings (they still like teasing them and stuff tho)

Dion knows Lizzie through his sister, so when Gisu calls him and Adam over to help when she brings her to the apartment they're both like "Lizzie??? what the fuck??"

Norma looks up to Augustus a lot as a kind of father figure (since her actual dad isnt in the picture) he and Dona deemed her and Lizzie as honorary members of the family

i probably forgot some stuff so ill just continue to add onto this later i suppose

Part 1 / Part 3

In all honesty, Aaliyah had no idea what she was doing. Running off for the Isle on her own was a terrible idea, but she couldn't drag Evie back to a place she hated so much. She wanted to meet Harry, but she knew that was a challenge in itself.

Casually walking into the Isle as the Princess of Maldonia wasn't an option, unless she wanted to be held up for ransom the second her foot touched their shores. She had to go in disguised.

She reached the edge of the bridge connecting Auradon to the Isle. Parking her bike on the side of the road, she reached into her bag that Evie had filled with clothes. Knowing that the two had to go into the Isle, Evie had supplied Aaliyah with a few raggedy outfits to look just like any other resident of the Isle. She threw off her Auradon prep clothes, and hid them under a nearby bush.

Aaliyah looked down at her new clothes. It was probably the most raggedy outfit she had ever worn. Her top was stained with large holes that exposed her skin. The knees of her worn out jeans were ripped, and various patches were sewn on to cover up other holes. Her shoes were so beat up, her toes were breaking through the front.

She looked down at her reflection in the misty ocean below her. The rags on her body were like a costume. She felt as if she were playing dress up, yet she knew of the reality of the Isle. The starving children, the rotten homes. No wonder Evie wanted to run away,and how lucky she was to get away.

Aaliyah did her best to shrug off the thought, and began to bike across the bridge towards the Isle. It was going to be quite the adventure.

The sickly smell of the musty waters in the Isle filled Aaliyah’s nose as she hid her bike.  The air was filled with a deep grey fog, Aaliyah could barely see her hands in front of her. She listened to the sound of the crashing waves echo against the ruckus of the Isle. Stepping deeper into the alleyways, she watched as young children ran around while beggars tried to negotiate deals with salesman. The whole island felt dark and ill to Aaliyah, like a foreign world.

As she watched the commotion, she felt a light lift on her hip. Turning quickly, she watched as a small child ran off into the distance, carrying her wallet. “Hey!” She screamed, chasing after him.

The alleys of the Isle were incredibly thin and crowded. Aaliyah shoved her way through each and every person, trying to keep her eyes on the child. The aggressive shouts of by-standing pirates and villains began to scare Aaliyah, forcing her to pick up speed. She quickly glanced behind her, watching as a group of men were slowly following after her. “Shit.” She mumbled.

As Aaliyah picked up her pace, she could feel the soles of her worn shoes wearing into the rough ground. She could barely see the child that she was chasing anymore, but she felt that she had bigger problems now.

The men were closing their distance to Aaliyah, and she knew she needed to act fast. The kid has turned the corner into a distant corridor and Aaliyah could see a dead end coming up. She had no choice but to follow.

Sprinting down the corner, the faint street lights flickered mysteriously above Aaliyah. Barely able to make out her own shadows, she still chased down the slim figure in front of her. It felt as if the walls were closing in on her, and the farther she ran, the closer they got.

“Well, well.” A deep and scruffy voice erupted from the darkness. Aaliyah stopped in her tracks. She no longer could hear the footsteps of the men who had been chasing her. It was most definitely not the voice of a 10 year old child. It was a trap.

“Who's there?” Aaliyah shouted, her voice wavering just slightly.  “Show yourself.”

Out of the shadows, a group of men surrounded her from all sides. She could barely make out their figures, but by their roughed up clothing and gravelly voices she knew they were pirates. “Look, I don’t want any trouble.”

“But I do.” One of the men shouted with a wide grin before charging straight at Aaliyah. She shrieked in terror before jumping swiftly to the side, avoiding the man’s attack. His sprint was so fast, he ran straight into the brick wall behind her, knocking himself unconscious, dropping a sword.

Quickly picking up the sword, she turned to face the others in front of her. There were three more men surrounding her.

“Alright, you want me?” Aaliyah angrily shouted. The men grinned as they looked at each other. She prayed softly to herself that she could recall all those times she practiced fencing with Jay and Lonnie during gym. “Come and get me.”

The pirate on the left came charging at her first, violently slashing her sword straight at her throat. Aaliyah jumped backwards, dodging each swing before throwing a hard left hook at his face. He stumbled backwards, running into one of the other pirates.

The two grumbled at each other as Aaliyah charged towards them, sending a high kick towards both of the them, knocking them both in the jaw. The men stumbled backward in an attempt to catch their footing, but Aaliyah was quicker. Using the blunt end of her sword, she stabbed the first man, knocking him onto the ground.

The second stood in shock as she slashed her sword at his chest, barely missing his throat. The pirate threw a quick fist at Aaliyah, hitting her across her face. She stumbled back, a new anger inside her heart. She charged forward, making a large gash in the pirates arm with her sword. The pirate cried out in pain, giving Aaliyah an advantage. She punched the pirate, knocking him to the ground. Kicking in his ribs, the pirate begged for mercy as Aaliyah backed away. The two groaned on the ground together as Aaliyah caught her footing to face the last man standing.

The man looked at her with a conflicted stare. He was hesitant to attack, obviously, worried he would end up like his two mates next to him. Aaliyah grinned with pride as she aimed her sword towards his chest.

“Would you like me to finish you off?” She asked with a cheeky smile.

Suddenly, a loud crash interrupted the two as the man was hit by the edge of a sword, stumbling to his feet.

“I'll take care of that.” Aaliyah heard a voice laugh from in front of her. The sound of a sword followed as the man attacked at the new mysterious figure, slashing violently in their direction.

“Not today, lad.” The voice boasted before fending off the man's attacks. Stepping into the light, Aaliyah studied the new pirate that  had joined the fight.

He was tall, had a confident swagger about him, and was devilishly handsome. His tattered clothes were a jumbled mix of red and black patches, with a few gold rings and a feathered pirate hat atop his head. He fought diligently, stabbing at the other pirate with quick and swift jabs. His grin was wide as he let out a sinister laugh that echoed throughout the hall.

The most defining feature, though, was the large silver hook in his left hand. Hook. Aaliyah's eyes widened as she came to the realization very quickly.

Harry.

It had to be Harry. Evie went on and on about how she hated the Hook he always had on him, and how it was his way of paying homage to his father.

Aaliyah watched carefully as the last pirate was knocked to ground by the end of Harry’s sword. Letting out a hearty laugh, Harry bent down to meet the man’s level.

“Now I suggest ye’ and your friends make quick. We wouldn't want Uma to hear about this little scuffle,” Harry threatened, placing the sharp edge of the sword to the man's neck. “Now would we?”

The man shook his head no quickly, and struggled to stand as he and the two other pirates fled the alleyway without looking back.

Harry and Aaliyah both watched as they disappeared into the commotion of Isle before their sight was gone. Slowly, Harry turned to face Aaliyah's stiff figure, stepping closer and closer towards her.

She could see him clearly for the first time. His chiseled jaw, blinding grin, and his piercing blue eyes. The shade was so light, it reminded Aaliyah of an ocean that was stormy and wild, yet calm. She would have gotten lost in them if he hadn't have spoken.

“Rookie mistake, messing with Sylvester's crew like that.” Harry squinted his eyes at her, looking her up and down, probably studying her as well. His thick Scottish accent was just as memorable as Evie had described.

“I took care of myself fairly well, I believe.” Aaliyah snapped back. Harry’s smirk formed into a mischievous grin, almost entertained by her response.“Stronger than you might think.”

Harry chuckled at her confidence, stepping closer to her. Before Aaliyah could react, Harry charged at her, backing her into the brick wall behind her. His right hand wrapped behind her waist as his hook aimed straight for her throat.  His chest was pressed against hers, their faces too close for comfort. Aaliyah looked up at him in horror as she tried to catch her breath from the surprise.

“Aye, not so tough anymore, eh?” His devilish grin was by far intimidating as he placed his hook underneath her chin. Aaliyah gulped softly, his hot breath on her face made the hairs on her neck stand up.

“Now, I know every Lassie’s face on the Isle, except yours.” Harry said with a curious look, his  hook gently caressing her cheek.

He didn't recognize her.  He didn't know who she was. Aaliyah didn't know how to feel. A part of her was relieved that she had managed to remain anonymous, but how long would she be able to keep up the act? “So, who are you, darling?”

Aaliyah turned her face away from his sinister gaze. “What's it matter to you?”

“Uma isn't particularly fond of visitors. We've already had Auradon on our shores, who’s to say yer’ not just another one of them, hm?” Harry moved her face back to align with his, watching every movement on her face.

His eyes had turned from intriguing to unpredictable in less than an instant. The dark charcoal eyeliner that outlined them made his stare psychotic stare ever so terrifying.

Aaliyah’s mind was racing. If he hadn’t recognized her, maybe he hadn’t known who she was, Princess and all. If Harry didn’t know who she was now, she didn’t want to see what he would do when he found out. But she needed to get her closure, to get closer to him.

“I'm not from Auradon.” She lied, pushing his body off hers. He stumbled backward, nearly falling over before catching his footing.

“Then where, darling?” His voice turned into a slight growl, bothered by her force. His childish glare had turned dark, and anger set in his eyes. Aaliyah’s breath hitched, a newfound terror set in.

“You wouldn’t know, my father travels a lot.” She folded her arms across her chest, her heart racing so fast, she worried that he would be able to hear it himself.

“Aye, and who would that be?” He asked, tilting his head slightly with a menacing glare.

Shit. If she had known she was going to have dug herself into such a deep hole, she would’ve thought of a cover before arriving on the island. She couldn’t reveal herself now, unless she wasn’t to be strung up for ransom. His sword was leaning closer and closer towards her body, urging her on.

“T-the Shadow Man.” Aaliyah blurted out haphazardly, not even thinking before speaking.

“The Shadow Man?” Harry repeated as Aaliyah nodded along. His previous cocky attitude had diminished into a more curious demeanor. Aaliyah nodded repeatedly, a small sweat forming at her brow.

Aaliyah had learned enough about her parents enemy, the Shadow Man, through bedtime stories and local legends to fake being his child. There wasn’t much to go about him, other than he was the King of Voodoo magic, and there were more myths surrounding his name than facts. She could keep up the lie for a while, she just hoped he would believe it.

Harry looked at her inquisitively. “The Shadow Man doesn’t have a daughter.”

Aaliyah laughed slightly, trying to keep up the act. “You think I’m the only secret he has? He’s the Shadow Man. No one knows everything about him, not even me.”

Aaliyah couldn’t tell if he was sold on the act. He paced around her menacingly, before speaking again. “Aye, then what is your name, infamous daughter of Dr. Facilier?”

Aaliyah spoke quickly, spitting out the first cover up that came to mind. “Lia, Lia Facilier.”

Harry was beyond intrigued by the girl that stood in front of him, staring down at his threatening hook. He watched her carefully, the mysterious look in her eyes made him shiver. She was effortlessly beautiful, even in her tattered rags. Harry hated the unfamiliar, yet she seemed to be different. It was no question that she was hiding something from the pirate, but he had no clue as to what.

“Why should I believe you, eh?” Harry asked. “No one just comes to the Isle.”

She scoffed, rolling her eyes at him. “I have nothing to explain to you.” Harry saw the attitude and ferocity in the way she spoke. She wasn’t scared, and that intrigued him.

“Oh, don’t be like that darling.” Harry cooed softly with a smirk, his free hand gently stroking her side. “You do remember who just saved your life?”

Smacking his hand away, the girl glared back at him as Harry laughed to himself. “Aye, I mean no harm, lassie. I just need answers, that’s all.”

“What you need to do, is let me leave.” She barked back at him.

“Ooh, a feisty one, now aren’t we?” Harry grinned as he watched a slight blush creep on the apples of her cheeks. She noticed Harry’s grin, turning her head to the side quickly, avoiding eye contact with him. “Uma is going to love you.”

“Who is Uma?” Her eyes furrowed together, carefully watching Harry. He enjoyed it.

“She’s my captain, Queen of the Isle.” Harry replied. “She’s going to love meeting you.”

“Who says I’m going to meet her?”

“I do.” Harry’s voice dropped, his presence intimidating, even to himself. “I let you go, you meet me at the Fish and Chip shop. Tonight.” He waited as she processed Harry’s demand. He could see her mind whirring, he wanted to know what she was thinking.

“So, you let me go,” She asked with a sly smile. “who's to say I won’t come back?” Her smile was infectious to Harry, glowing brighter than any gold piece he had ever seen. He could feel his heart flutter when her eyes bore into his, a feeling he hadn't felt for years.

His eyes trailed down from her face, to a small shine around her neck. He carefully placed his hook around her, pulling a small gold chain that connected to a small locket. He watched her eyes slowly widen at the gold piece slowly lifting from her neck. He could tell from her eyes its importance.

“Aye, what a beautiful piece of merchandise.” He smiled, yanking the necklace off of her neck.

“Hey!” She shouted. “Give that back.” She lunged forward at Harry, but he dodged her quick attack, grabbing her arm and pinning it against his chest.

“What’s so important about this piece of jewelry?” He hung the necklace on his hook, examining it. It looked far more expensive that any piece he had ever seen. Especially for the child of a villain.

“That necklace is a family heirloom, directly from my father.” She started, attempting to reach for the piece, but he pulled it away.

“Ah, then, I know you’ll come back for it.” Harry grinned, putting the necklace into his pocket. She scoffed at him, making him smile.

“The Fish and Chip shop, tonight.” He stated firmly. “Or your heirloom becomes a part of my royal collection.”

She sighed in defeat.“Fine. Tonight.” She spoke coldly, a dead look in her eye.

“Until tonight, Miss Lia.” Harry winked at her, before disappearing into the commotion of the Isle.

“Where the hell have you been?” Harry’s captain, Uma, shouted as Harry entered the fish and chip shop. Shoving Gil aside, Harry sat down at a stool facing Uma’s angry stature.

“I had a run-in with some of Sylvester’s mates.” Harry sighed, grabbing a cold glass of some strange brown liquid that he didn't feel like questioning at the moment.

Uma groaned at the mention of Sylvester’s name. Sylvester, also known as the son of Mr. Smee, was an enemy of Uma’s crew. Even though he and Harry had grown up together, the two were always at each other's throats. “What were they even doing with you?”

“I found them.” Harry stated, chugging down his drink. “They were chasing after a girl.”

Uma turned to face Harry, her attention obviously peaked. “A girl, who?”

“She claimed to be the daughter of the Shadow Man.” Harry leaned back in his chair, twirling his hook along his fingers. “I’ve never seen the lass on the Isle before.”

Uma growled to herself, visibly upset. “We’ve had too many visitors on the Isle. I don’t trust it.”

“She sounds harmless.” Gil added in, stuffing his face with a clam stew. “ What’s the problem with a girl on the Isle?.”

“She nicked three of Sylvester’s men, all on er’ own.” Harry said with a grin. He had watched a good portion of the fight, and admired her skill and wit.“She’s a fighter, and she’s good.”

“Aw, does Harry have a little crush?” Gil teased, poking the pirates side. Harry glared in Gil’s direction, an obvious notion to back down.

“I don’t care if she’s the daughter of Lucifer himself, I want to know why she’s here.” Uma exclaimed. “Too many strangers are on the Isle, and I want to get to the bottom of it.”

“Well, why not send Harry? He already knows her. He’ll probably want to flirt with her some more.” Gil suggested, making kissy faces at the pirate. Harry rolled his eyes, giving Gil a light smack on the back of the head.

Uma smiled at Gil, shaking her head in delight. “Harry, where is this girl?”

“I left her on the other side of the island.” Harry replied.

“I want her here.” Uma stepped close to Harry, her hands gripping the sides of his collar. “Bring her to me, Harry.

“Don’t worry, Captain.” Harry said with a sly smile, pulling the gold necklace from her pocket. “She’ll be back. I made sure of it.”

[tumblunni]

okay HOLY SHIT

I just remembered that show Gargoyles that I loved as a kid, and I decided to rewatch it, and its SOMEHOW EVEN BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS?? Like holy fuck?? It has one of the best introductions to any show ever! Did I just never see the first episode as a kid, or did all the implications fly over my head when I watched it??

Okay so.. like.. I knew the PREMISE but I didnt expect it all happened in the least expected way! The friggin theme tune tells us that blablabla ancient magical guardian creatures fell under some sort of curse and now they’re revived in modern times, such and such, there you go a one sentence plot. BUT HOW IT HAPPENED HOW it happened oh GOD And like the show starts with a whole hour long flashback to the gargoyles back in olden times?? like thats a really bold move! usually in kids shows theyre like ‘you MUST establish the status quo/episode formula right away’. here we literally only saw two minutes of modern times america. TWO MINUTES! some person we dont know finds some mysterious monster. now lets throw that all away and spend a whole glorious hour establishing how much of an upstanding man that damn monster is, and how the universe treats him like shit. like weirdly enough it raises hype for the modern day episode formula even as it shows none of it?? it makes the audience think ‘WAIT WTF THEYRE NOT EVIL, OH NO WE ALREADY KNOW THE MODERN POLICE IS GONNA ATTACK THEM’ :< And then also we get ANOTHER HOUR AND A HALF of establishing the modern day status quo too?? theyre labelled on dvds and stuff as the first five episodes, but really this was just one big 2 and half hour movie premiere! i wish i could have seen it in its original form back when it first aired, i just remember that it was really hard to catch reruns of the multi part stuff cos toon disney had a lot of airing issues

anyway WHY IS THIS THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER?

okay

OKAY OKAY

Here’s our premise! We start off in some ambiguously set medieval kingdom where everyone dresses like a mashup of vikings and englishmen yet have scottish accents ok seriously thats kinda distracting And we’re introduced to this small castle kingdom that’s protected by mysterious guardian creatures of amazing character design. Like seriously i wish they didnt focus so much on this ‘all the main gargoyles have to look more human’ thing, the comic relief teenagers trio was my favourite and also THE COOL GRANDPA EYEPATCH GARGOYLE ok ok im getting offtopic So in this universe gargoyles are a sentient species of winged noble warrior doods, who just happen to have a problem of turning to stone in sunlight. And they protect these humans but the humans are all assholes who’re like WAH BUT THEY LOOK LIKE CHRISTIAN DEMONS THEY MUST BE EVIL even as theyre like.. mid-being-saved. Absolute dumbasses. And seriously YOU BUILT YOUR CITY ON THE GARGOYLES’S LAND! You should count yourself lucky their leader is Niceman Mc Patience who agreed to a peace treaty instead of kicking your ass. Seriously Goliath you kinda comprimised too much! It really fuckin sucks!! The gargoyles are like.. employed by the humans for no form of pay?? They get literally nothing out of it! Except less room to live in their own home, and constant degredation.

Okay so THE HUMAN CHARACTERS AND THEIR CONSTANT DEGREDATION

We’re introduced to the princess and royal vizier dude when the kindly knight captain is like ‘hey you should say thank you to the gargoyles, not me’, and she’s like HOW DARE YOU LET THE BEASTS INSIDE THE HOUSE! Like seriouslt the gargoyles arent even allowed to be seen by humans?? Theyre supposed to protect them every damn day but also should never speak and never have any form of rights as sentient beings. WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR DAMAGE, MEDIEVAL DOODS?? So yeah here’s our brief summary of the everyone here: * Fucking asshole princess who acts like you let your dog shit on the floor if you give a friggin sentient being and king of another civilization the basic courtesy of being allowed to STAND INSIDE THE HOUSE * Cliche evil vizier lookin dood who doesnt really have much personality shown yet except being a sycophant to her anti gargoyle shit, and like.. from his character design you totally expect he’s gonna be evil. *shrug* * Niceman mc guardman who treats Goliath like a friend and is being all activist for gargoyle rights amoung the court. But also he’s really low ranking apparantly, and doesnt have any power to affect change. It seems that he’s been treated like shit by these royals for a long time... * One innocent nice kiddo who wants to hug the gargoyles for saving him, but his jerkass mum is all OMG HOW DARE YOU TOUCH HIM HEY EVERYONE YOU SAW THEY TOTALLY ATTACKED US RIGHT Like seriously he just fuckin tries to start a conversation with the younger gargoyles, and is all ‘youre my hero!’ and they have a nice talk that establishes a load of worldbuilding like how gargoyle culture doesnt have any form of names and Goliath only has one cos the humans gave it to him. Screw you, worldbuilding interruption predjudice mom!

Okay so now we have our premise, and we see some mysterious guy in a hood sneaking out of the castle to ally with some raiders who wanna overthrow the country and steal all its riches. Also a minor scene of the teen and kid gargoyle group being sent to their room for 'causing trouble’ even though seriously the humans started it >_> So like.. we all know where this is going, right? Its a pretty big omen when you give us a contrived circumstance for the children to be the only ones who can be safe from this impending catastrophe... And the voice was very gruff and deep so its probably not the princess doing this shit, plus duh she already has all the power so why would she need to stage a coup? Really, the question now is just what vizier man’s motives are for wanting to betray her!

... EXCEPT

This is where the story gets fuckin great, and also where My Soul Is Pained

hey guess who was really the traitor? its.... nice guard man! fffffuck its sooo creepy when the princess is running for help and she’s like HEY THANK GOD YOURE HERE and then he has this big slasher smile and reveals his plan T_T And like.. he’s still.. not really evil?? Nobody here is evil, except the personalityless plot device raider guys who just exist to set up this circumstance. The princess is an ungrateful predjudiced asshole, but she’s beloved by her human subjects and i mean., she never actually does anything evil, she’s just rude and nasty. And the vizier was a complete red herring and actually all his mysterious shit was just him hiding a crush on the princess, so he breaks down when he thinks she’s dead :( And then guard guy also wasnt lying about caring about the gargoyles. he tried to get them to leave so that only the humans would die, but then like.. his ambition overtook that one shred of loyalty he had to his friends. He thought he could get through all this without having to kill them, but when the raider guy insists upon it he ends up agreeing rather than lose his chance at stealing the throne. And then its really slimy how he’s all ‘BUT I DIDNT INTEND THIS ORIGINALLY, ITS ALL RAIDER GUY’S FAULT’ after goliath shows up and cries over the corpses of his family, like seriously what the fuck dude dont try and weasel out of consequences for your actions. But still it feels like he was once a genuinely good guy who just gave in to his selfishness and abandoned his morals?? And i mean its super justified for him to be angry at how he was treated by the princess, and to want to affect change in this society. WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!! Seriously its so fuckin surprisingly deep to have some guy who’s a fakeout hero in the first damn episode. And some guy who’s a villain just because he stooped to any means necessary to carry out his once-heroic ambitions. Instead of changing society for the sake of the people, he’s sacrificing all the people just to gain the throne, and forgetting why he ever wanted it! SERIOUSLY HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO BE EVEN WORSE THAN ASSHOLE PRINCESS

so yeah then the plot just goes in SO MANY UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS to get to the same expected conclusion! Instead of just being cursed by the bad guys, the gargoyles were betrayed by the one closest to them, while those bad guys all died innefectually offscreen. And the curse wasnt even an evil act! It happens because of a REALLY COMPLEX GREY MORALITY SITUATION, where the princess and vizier were gonna be sold off for cash, but then because the gargoyles tried to save them the guard guy decided to just execute them instead. So after their triumphant rescue of all the villagers, they find the vizier man sobbing over his dead love, and then he tells them its THEIR FAULT IT HAPPENED. And he doesnt want to live without her, so he makes a really stupid reckless decision and decides to attack the last few living gargoyles. And like RIGHT AFTER he casts the spell on them, he finds out the princess is still alive and its all oh Fuck What The Fuck Have I Done So vizier man tries to undo the curse, but his book of spells got damaged in the fight and (OF COURSE) coincidentally the page about curse lifting is gone. Cue fuckin Everyone Crying. SO FEW EVIL PEOPLE IN THIS STORY SO MANY EVIL ACTS DONE BY THOSE WHO THOUGHT THEY WERE THE HERO like even the vizier and princess realize they were wrong about their anti gargoyle bigotry after they have to see the consequences of it here but its just WAY TOO LATE FOR THAT

and then yo the EVEN MORE UNEXPECTED AND SAD BIT cos our protagonist gargoyle was the only one who didnt get cursed thats unexpected and he basically COMMITS SUICIDE TO BE WITH HIS FAMILY THATS KINDA MORE UNEXPECTED Well its more like a g-rated suicide metaphor?? Everyone thinks the curse will never be broken, so he curses himself too cos he cant live without them. And its really depressing cos even though we know they all eventually get uncursed, so many others just straight up died and also theyll never see their human friends again and also the castle is all destroyed so the fate of the kingdom is really ambiguous too?? we just know that the now-redeemed princess and vizier are gonna do anything they can to protect their citizens and atone for what happened. and they take the last few gargoyle eggs that werent destroyed, and promise to raise them with all of the love and respect they nevr gave poor goliath... and seriously they never say whose children those eggs were but he’s like the only person left who could have given them a proper gargoyle childhood. So like its morally grey that goliath is choosing death together with the people he knows, rather than living and trying to ressurect his dying civilization. i absolutely wouldnt blame him for it though, its not like suicide is an active choice, he wasnt exactly in his right mind at the time! But its just REALLY NICE AND COMPLEX! And raises a lot of questions about what will happen to these new gargoyles who’re raised by humans, how different would they be if goliath and co met them someday? i really hope thats actually a plot thats gonna happen, i cant rememebr ANYTHING about this show lol...

so yeah theres all the FUCKIN COMPLEX DARK MORAL AMBIGUITY IN ANCIENT ENGLANDSCOTLANDGERMANYKINDA and it is AMAZING and it absolutely baffles me how they ahve such great plots when other parts of the writing are kinda awful standard disney cliches?? like seriously they wasted so much screentime on Comic Relief: A Fat Guy Exists. Seriously he just.. exists. They show these really slow and overanimated scenes of him just.. eating things. not even exaggerated or comedic. he ate one pie, lets all make fun of him for twenty minutes but man, no show in the 90s was perfect, lol! this is still pretty damn great! AND VERY EMOTIONAL

oh oh oh and i didnt mention THE OTHER CRYING BIT cos the guard guy gets a cliche disney villain death, the whole accidentally falling off a cliff due to his own actions, so the protagonist isnt morally responsible for killing a man but then what makes it a really unique scene is that THATS NOT THE MORAL STANCE THE SHOW TAKES goliath WANTED to kill that damn man or, at the very least, give him some sort of punishment for what he’d done goliath has a fucking huge despair moment over the fact this villain man died and he wasnt the one who did it “you took everything from me, even my chance at revenge” cue ugly sobbing as this buff ass demon man screams at the heavens and cradles the stone dust that was once his damn wife what the fuck show why are you doing this to me

ITS REALLY GOOD

Episode Six - “No One Tell Karma Anything I Just Said” - Autumn

Ok i'm so goddamn bipolar. I trust Ned, alot. Ok Ned is amazin, like I see why Sarah liked him. So my problem is there is prob a swap, and I wan't my ass to go to exile. Like it is guarenteed saftey. So I claimed that shit. But I feel bad bc if I do, I leave Ned behind. Leaving Ned behind makes me feel like shit, and prob makes him like not like me as much. And I truly don't wanna leave him behind, I just wanna be safe. Like this entire game, I have felt wishy-washy. Like I don't know where anyones head is at. And furthermore, I love Brandon, don't get me wrong, but I feel like he would tell people that I am good w/ him and this is just my prediction bc his tribal q&a he went off. And he is bubbly and talkative, and just a bit too talkative. So I can just sense a target on my back bc of him. And just omg. I want to be exiled away 2 hell pls. And tbh i prob pissed off my entire tribe. Lol

I know I just said that I'll never trust Sam but I kinda trust her now. Me: I can't fall for Sam's tricks again. My brain: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/survivorsucks/imageproxy.php?url=http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah305/jeff_pROBOTst/lisi%20survivor%20fail%20gif_zpspbkboevo.gif?t=1433290937 Also JOHNNY went home?!!?! THE FRAT ALLIANCE NEVER EVEN SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY! I'll avenge you Johnny. A frat guy will win this season, mark my words.

I feel like there’s some kind of secret redemption island or outcasts twist happening tbh

Omf this swap couldn’t have worked out better. So it’s me, Jake, Chris, and John. Me and Jake are tight af and one of the first things Chris comes to tell me is he wants to work with me and Jake to get John out cuz John is pissed at Chris for lying to him about that last vote. So I’m like “YASSSSSS” in my mind. But on the outside I’m just like. O yea. That sounds cool. Let’s do that. Anyways. If we do end up losing this tribal it’s all good. I want me and Jake to be able to make it to merge. And John is one of the people I need to take revenge on for taking out Emily. He shows regret for it now. But in the end it doesn’t matter. He still did it.

Another swap and yet again I find myself in a tough spot. Last time I had at least autumn who I knew would vote with me. Now I have John who I just lied to and literally put on the block in case Johnny played an idol. Why the fuck would he work with me? The answer is he WONT. He’s gonna campaign to jakee and Bryan to get me out. Lucky for John, Bryan already doesn’t trust me! So my key here is Jake. If I get Jake on my side I stand a chance. Worst case scenario, I whip out my idol and guarantee I merge. I’m not tryna be like Johnny and get voted out with an idol... hell no. I’m here to make the merge. If I can just reunite with my people I’m set. I got autumn, ned, Haley, Ryan, and Brandon on lock. I possibly have Dane. I gotta work on jake man. Jake is my key to merge. 

OWEN HOW DARE YOU!!! WE WE ARE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!! http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/03/12/2691AE1E00000578-2991334-image-m-16_1426163660149.jpg He is so ugly for this/ I specifically told him not to. WE JUST FUCKING SWAPPED!?!?! Y'all don't understand I've been on every tribe in the past week and I'm tired. Every time I create a good spot and feel halfway good about myself, a twistos twist fucks it up and I'm not as young as these other kids. My trash iPhone 5S and I need to be seated and given a warning every time because we really do short circuit when things pop off. My Skype crashes as much as ocean waves whenever shit hits the fan and like my heart is already about to stop anyway from all the Coca Cola I drink and chronic stress I've endured for the past 23 years but like... that's all the more reason to not do so many swaps or at least give me a goddamn warning. I was at work and when I opened the app to see a Optio Tribe chat at the top of my messages?? https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D4K3XRRUIfI/WSs5kEir86I/AAAAAAAAEG4/O8CAhB5P57gO7RGi9aiGx_A7ZZxI0ReTgCLcB/s1600/giphy3.gif NOT TO MENTION work and Athena All Stars are competing to be the ultimate bane of my existence so if Crossroads could like not join the running, that'd be great. Like am I on a tribe of people I like trust? Yes, yes I am- miracles happen everyday. But am I now separated from Ned AND Chris?? Yes and that's not funny. Do I have to start over for the THIRD TIME in this game? Yes I do and the next announcement better be merge or I'll scream

I cannot believe I did THAT, I’m so proud of myself!!! I’ve never won a comp like that before! And I can’t believe chris got it a minute after me! Original impala is here to compete and win! I’m so glad we are safe especially during this double tribal, I’m shook. Ned and I will be the only ones to have never been to tribal after this!! And honestly I love ned so much, he’s definitely my f2. I’ve talked very little to Haley or Ryan so I’m glad we don’t have tribal here. 

I really slept in and woke up to find that not only did Optio lose the challenge, but now I have to pick between 3 allies and get a majority before they start talking and realize I know all of them well and am the smartest bet to send home https://media.tenor.com/images/1e425f0991c66cd840f78b389e84f5c9/tenor.gif I mean Brandon will read all of this eventually but the vote is him because Imperium ties run deep and feminism. I've been aligned with Dane from the jump #kidsnextdoor so when we got reunited, he was ecstatic to see me and was down to do whatever if we lost. That kinda loyalty is hard to find soooo I can't vote him out. Rebecka and I have history (which only Chris knows about) and played most of Athena Himalayas together so voting her out is just fake. I trust her waaaay more than any of these people so I have to put my money where my mouth is and prove my loyalty. Her and I never got it right in Himalayas so I'm not voting her out or dropping her name. Does this mean I'm betraying Brandon? Yes and that sucks. Is it better than the consequences of betraying Dane or Rebecka? Absolutely I've also learned that Brandon flipped votes to get Rhone out, which spooked Rebecka, and Dane is very committed to our old alliance so when I told him Chris and Brandon were tight, he wasn't having it. Also he's got bigger problems like his beef with Julia so he has to stay around I wanna watch that up close hahaha. Brandon's a great competitor so as great of a friend/ally as he is, I can't beat him in the end (not that he would ever take me over Chris). And I sure as hell can't let Brandon flip Dane or Rebecka on me because he's 100% smart enough and social enough. Sooo it's done- almost everyone has casted votes and I've made my peace with my ugly savage self. BRANDON IM SORRY BLAME OWEN ITS HIS TWISTOS TWIST!!! Highkey wouldn't have turned on you if we'd been put with other people so it essentially is Owen's fault. Ok done scamming for the day- no one tell karma anything I just said! https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/9WRvREpZJp5kMg4z8BwZqqC-XkQ/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2016/11/14/049/n/1922398/3167f7e419274941_57c736261700000011c76cb6/i/Bye.gif

This round has been a roller coaster of stress, excitement, disappointment, and terror. First of all, we had our suspicions that "teaming up" would lead to a swap, but I don't think anyone seriously thought we'd be put into three tribes of FOUR. In a tribe this small, there's nowhere to hide. Sam and I decided early on to team up, because at this point, I trust her more than both Dane and Bryan, and Julia wanted to be on her own team so she could be exiled. Sam and I were put with Haley and Ryan on Imperium. #Imperium4Lyfe I trust Haley because she aligned with Chris on the old Fatum tribe, but Ryan kind of sketches me out. I was already preparing to either blindside Ryan or play my idol, because the immunity challenge was frickin impossible and the TWO losing tribes are going to Tribal. We had to guess a 7-digit code to find a secret page on the blog, and every thirty minutes or so we'd receive a relatively useless clue like "the sum of the first three digits is less than the sum of the last three digits." Ultimately, I decided to use my challenge advantage, which gave us two extra hints. This morning, Sam and I created a system that listed every possible code. Once we realized we had narrowed it down to around 36 combinations, it became a race against time to see how quickly we could enter each code on our phones. It turns out that we NEEDED my advantage, as Sam found the secret page literally SECONDS before Chris did on another tribe. I'm slightly suspicious that the double Tribal may just result in the two people voted out switching tribes, but then Julia would be exiled for another round and that doesn't seem very likely. Either way, I'm just happy to be safe for another round. Sam and I were just talking about how awesome we are together, as the two OG Imperiums who haven't gone to Tribal at all. I was really starting to feel like we could dominate the merge together, but then she said "You're my ride or die." https://i.imgur.com/JKVZSFJ.gif Those are the same words I never wanted to hear from Sam again, because that's word-for-word what she said to me in our first game together right before she backstabbed me. I guess the old saying is true: keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Okay things are finally heating up for me! When we swapped tribes Chris told me he was happy we were on the same tribes blah blah blah but I've seen through him for a while now so I don't trust him. Bryan is the only person who swapped with me so we talked and he said that he was good with Chris and didn't trust John because of what happened when he got sent to their tribal. I talked to John and I want him to stay mainly bc we basically live in the same city and I think we have sort of a bond cus of that. Also because I think Chris is a social threat and I'd like to take him out now before merge in case he groups up with his allies. Things are really complicated and messy right now. I'm telling John everything that's going on. Chris is lying and saying that John wants to target Bryan to Bryan to get him to vote out John but I don't want that. I'm trying to get Bryan to realize that Chris is a threat. Bryan however thinks that he'll be an easy target at merge which could be true but I really want to merge with John because I think he will have a lot of trust in me for trying to save him. It's complicated and with only 4 people voting and the chance of a tiebreaker I am still nervous. Anything could happen. I could be getting lied to. It's complicated. The only person who I think I trust fully right now is John. I hope Chris doesn't have an idol an I hope the don't fake out and vote me out. The best cast scenario for me is that Chris gets voted out and I merge. Worst case is that I get voted out lol, but if I have to lose John to merge then I lose John. I just need to keep myself safe while going the route that I think will benefit me the most in the long run.

SOOO, I won a challenge. I won the reward. And bitch, guess tf what. I made merge, jury, and the f11. BITCH YES. SO I put my ass to work on that puzzle to secure thati could make jury. Took me like 3 hrs, but I did it. Next, NED WON IMMUNITY SO HE IS GOING TO BE SAFE WITH ME. HELL YES. HELL YESSSS. I am living atm. 

Ok. So looks like the vote is falling on John. Tbh I’d rather have both John and Chris go but alas that seems to not be the case. I don’t wanna vote Chris out just yet. John is a subtle player but Chris plays really hard, he did on og imperium and he is now. It’d be really easy to paint a target on his back at merge if I have to. But anyways I really like having Jake as an ally. We really click. But me and Chris told John that we are voting out Jake. So it’ll probably be a 3-1 vote with John going bye bye. But John gave me some tea. That Haley went after Emily and then Nicole. Honestly the girl gives me the “not like other girls” vibe. It’s not cool and I really want her gone come merge as well. 

Ok so I lied in my last confessional I guess. I’m voting out Chris now. Woo. I never trusted him anyways. But John seems really desperate for an ally and me and Jake talked it over and decided to change our decision to Chris. Hopefully my old imperium people don’t get mad at me...

Im glad we won. FINALLY. and i did nothing. Haley and I or just I was gonna use my idol if we went to tribal which we didn't. xoxo

Tonight is rough. I’d like to think Jake and Bryan are with me and are voting John out. John should be voted out tonight. I have a idol if I get bad vibes at tribal but I’m not sure I want to play it. If I save it I am in a strong position at the merge. But I really wanna fucking merge man. I have a tough decision. 

Voting Brandon out, this ones for rhone 

(beginning of round) WELL. That last vote did not go as I planned at all... Johnny is out of this game.. and EVERYONE lied to me last round. Every person. I am definitely a bit hurt by Stoner because he was telling me that he wanted to be a trio with Johnny and I just a few hours before our tribal. He really showed his colors. Ryan said he planned this right after Haley got back. I am a bit bitter but I can get over it with them cause I need to survive another day. I feel like I have nobody now. A lone coffey. I am ready to work my way back to the top.

(After immunity)I made it to my birthday without getting voted out!! I was so busy doing birthday things that I failed to realize we tribe swapped again!!! I am ona tribe with Stoner, Jake, and Bryan! I haven't seen Bryan since the very first tribal where we voted out Emily. Which now that I think of it, I think the curse of fatum all started with the blindside of Emily and Bryan. Jake lives 20 mins from me so we clicked right off the bat, and we rekindled the friendship we had formed in one world fast. Stoner came to me saying he wouldn't blame me for gunning for him, but I told him that I would not go for him if he wouldn't go for me. We lose the challenge. And Jake informs me that Chris is targeting me!!!! WONDERFUL! When Chris lied to me the first time I was hurt, but he has been continuously lying to me the entire day and now it is pissing me off and making me a vengeful boy. Jake suggested that I made a plea to Bryan, and that is what I did. I threw Chris's name out there and told him how he seems to have so many personal connections with people, and he makes them think they are his number one. I fell victim to him once. Not again. I explained the Emily vote to Bryan, telling him how Emily was trying to form a girls alliance, and I let him know that Haley was the one that planned that whole thing. It led to the discussion that Bryan would like Haley out first when we get to the merge. After a bit of talking to Bryan he told me he was down to vote Chris out and I couldn't be more ecstatic. This is the sweetest revenge at the perfect time. I am telling Chris that I will vote Jake out because I "never talk to him". Half my afternoon consisted of me telling Chris things and then Jake relaying them back to me LMAO. Tribal will be a fun one. This one's for you Johnny!

I have never left impala, I’ll truly miss this little camp. But I’m so excited for merge, and new people!! And connecting with original impala again! And John Coffey <3
