In Stars And Time - Fear and Hunger AU

ALSO WARNING, loss of limbs

remember kids, an unspoken rule of the artists; when they've got no twinkles in their eyes, you know they've had it bad.

WOOO ISA'S THE NEXT CHARACTER I DECIDED TO TRAUMATIZE!!!!! YAY!!!!

Mirabelle will be next <3

~ ~ ~

Isabeau; Ophthalmophobia ( fear of being stared at )

Effects; Lost his right arm

Info;

TW!!! DISMEMBERMENT IG aka backstory to how Isa lost his arm

A retired Defender of Jouvente. He capital-C-Changed his body, hoping to become someone that others wouldn't be ashamed of knowing. Lost his right arm months before the party reached Dormont, protecting Mirabelle from a fatal strike coming from a powerful Sadness.

Despite his loss, his bubbly and highly supportive personality remains, always caring for his companions. And even though he does mourn the fact of him most likely never being able to become a clothing designer with just one arm, he does not regret his decision one bit. He's just a stupid Defender, afterall, and Mirabelle is the Chosen one, the one blessed by the Change God, to defeat the King. She is more important than some puny guy that likes bad jokes.

Gets phantom pains quite often. He desperately tries to be the strong, optimistic member of the party, keeping up their morales and spirits, never wanting to let them down. Always hoping that his laughter will light up the room and help everyone forget about everything, if only for a little bit. He also lost his left earring in one of the battles against Sadnesses. Generally he is the person constantly getting hurt for his party, despite the scolding he gets for it regularely.

Due to his phobia, he dislikes crowds and the public, always feeling like he has eyes at the back of his neck. He hates it, and always tries to avoid eye contact while talking to someone. With the party's help though, he's been making progress! The feeling of eyes looking over his body reminds him of all his imperfections, and it makes him spiral, wondering if he is being stared at due to the flaws in his crafted body. It makes him want to Change into someone else.

And yet, he still silently hopes that maybe, just maybe, in an unspecified time in the future, he could make up for the missing earring, and put a bonding one in it's place, if he'd ever dare to confess to Siffrin. He cannot bring himself to do it though, thinking that maybe, even after everything, he may still not be good enough and worthy of being loved. All in all, he still remains just a coward.

~ ~ ~

Sooo yeah. I in all honesty could not find a better phobia for Isa. I've thought about the phobia of love ( his inability to confess ) or maybe the phobia of failure ( failing his friends ) but in the end I settled on a phobia that has him feeling like he is constantly stared at, so much so that he decided to Change his body. Honestly a terrifying phobia. And a very self-destructive one.

Anyways, that's all! see you tomorrow! we're ruining Mirabelle next <3

My thoughts during the final hour of acomaf:

(Bare in mind that I notched up the speed to 1.5 then 1.75, and these thoughts are not in order)

-"You don't need proof that it works, I'm proof that it works-"

Weren't you made by high lords?

-"I will destroy your court."

And I will hate you. More so than I already do

-"He held out his hand like I was some pet."

"Come home."

My thoughts:

"Come home with me."

"Who are you?"

"The man whose gonna marry you, I'm Orpheus."

"Who am I?"

"Eurydice, *laughs* the girl who makes me wanna sing, the women I'm marrying."

-Why dose the evil man sounds like a radio announcer?

-Lucian really setting the bar higher already in how to care for your mate, as expected. (Go little Rock star)

-He broke through the bounds that a high lord couldn't break through just to go to her?!?!

-And he gave her his coat to cover her??

-"There were different kinds of torture I realized, there was ones I went through, what Rhys went through and then this."

Yeah, now you know how Tamlin felt utm.

- Did Nesta just give the evil king the middle finger? Ew, sarah cringe stop it.

-Cassian just keep dying sweetie, don't touch Nesta.

-Nesta be nice to your future brother in law.

- Freye unlocked a new power, somehow.

-Cheesy, this is all so cheesy.

- "his green eyes met mine, the sorrow and tenderness in them was the most hideous thing I've ever seen."

Wow, ok...

-Tamlin acting like Ryhsand though with Tamlin it's justified/understandable

- *me counting down the final 22 minutes while freye is dying*

-"I nerely gagged on his scent."

Freye darling, I get your upset about his deal with evil king. But he literally tried to save your sisters, stop being so dramatic.

- "my family."

It's been 3 months girly.

- "Tamlin ignored Lucian, so I did too."

Sums up Freye and Lucain's friendship

-Of course all the queens' want is eternal youth,

- Lucian naturally being the smartest one in the room.

-Noooo, not Ryhsand pov. 😭 this better not be the last 17 minutes.

-Holy crap, I just realized how similar this ending is to season 2 of lore olympus ending.

-Don't worry, the bat boys plot armor is thick. Sarah loves you monsters too much.

-Mor don't rip out the arrow it will only make it worse.

-Ryhsand please think, do you really think Tamlin would actually partner with evil king? He didn't even trust evil fae women when she first appeared, what makes you think he would actually help him beyond getting freye back?

-"she is my mate, my wife, the high lady of the night court."

BANG, CRASH A LIGHTING BLAST! (no joke there was thunder after he said this in the dramatized version)

I have 2 thoughts on this one:

1. There was a fan theory during the court trial in lore olympus (persephone was on trail for mass murder, long story) where hades and persephone got married before the trail started because at one point he called her his wife. This wasn't the case because she was 20 and he was in his 2000 (aka 40's) Idk if Rachel was a fan of acotar and wanted to steal from it (since acomaf was released in 2016 and the trial was released in 2020) but because people guessed it she dropped it. Idk that's just a my own theory.

2. How can she be the high lady when the mother is the one to give out titles? Do you realize what you just start Ryhsand? This could lead to more war against the more religious courts, this could lead to the end of the night court if the mother finds out... oh wait, this is acotar. Not real high fantasy, there's no real religious world building.

-"I've forgotten how quiet it was here, how small, how empty"

You do this every time freye, anytime your some where "better" you always just stick your noise up at your old home.

-Freye acting high and mighty towards Tamlin as if she wouldn't had praised Ryhsand for doing the same thing.

- Lucian, you are truly the best character.

-"My sister mate, the mother did indeed seem to have a sense of humor."

What do you mean? He would be a great mate. But then again you're suffering because of it...which makes it so much better.

- "as if he could do that to anyone."

But- but he did freye. And tbh I think he would have done worse to you if he deemed it necessary.

-Freye is really giving evil queen vibes. I wish I could enjoy it, but I know sarah is going to make her the "hero"

And that's it, Thank Saints.

Deltarune recreated chapter 3 empress jades story.

WHO IS EMPRESS JADE

empress jade is the main villain of chapter 3 of deltarune recreated.

she represents the sin of lust because of her lust for power and p%rn. yes, unfortunately she's a p%rn addict but I'm going to explain it better so no controversies will start.

ABOUT HER ADDICTION

she has this addiction because of her loneliness. she has never been married in her life so she uses p%rn to cope with it. by watching it and doing it with Mr. five star. she pays him by the way to do it. he is only doing it for the money.

luckily so my au won't become the most hated out of them none of this stuff is actually shown or mentioned directly it's just hinted at.

and plus, after meeting color king she falls in love with him and let's go of all of her porn addictions and lust and find's real love like it Always should have been. the two end up becoming married in the end and they both end up happy.

so, I hope that part won't spark up any hate.

HER LORE.

empress jade is the queen of the dark world in the dreemurr house.

and all she wants is to see her people happy.

one day her and her people were brainwashed by the knight into thinking they were abandoned by the lightners and no longer had purpose. and this sparked mass depression on her people.

day by day darkners would end their lives knowing they meant nothing.

empress jade and her sister knew they had to do something.

so, one day the knight created a dark fountain. but because the room didn't have a specific theme, the fountain became weak and unstable and crystalized the dark world turning it into a wasteland.

the crystals were dangerous and would turn the darkners into monster's however empress jade saw them as a gift from the knight. she saw power inside that could be harvested. and she believed they could make her people happy again. but little did she know they would cause more harm than good.

her sister Agatha however knew they were dangerous and tried to warn her not to use them. but jade didn't listen and casted her own sister out of the kingdom because she thought she was a traitor and didn't want her people to be happy. Agatha ends up becoming the secret boss of the chapter. but that story was already told.

so, after that she spreaded the crystals throughout the kingdom thinking she was making people happy again. but she was just making things worse and worse.

after a while she didn't just want to crystalize the dark world. but the lightworld as well.

so, she captured toriel to help with her plan. kind of like how queen wanted to make a knight out of Noelle jade wanted to make a roaring knight out of toriel so she could help make people happy. say's sarcastically.

by the end of the chapter, she is confronted, and Rosey makes her realize the damage she has done and how she could have made it even worse if she continued the plan.

empress jade feels really guilty and pleads for mercy explaining how she just wanted her people to be happy again.

and because all she was trying to do was help save her people and she didn't mean any harm she is forgiven.

to make up for her actions she let toriel go and let them seal the fountain, knowing it's the only way to free her people from the crystal curse.

they are recruited to the tokyo region aka the castle town of the au and everyone is happy.

HER CONNECTIONS WITH OTHER CHARACTERS.

before the apocalypse she adopted an orphaned spirit animal darkner known as hunter who has spent his entire life looking for his family believing they are still alive and somewhere out there

jade cares for him and wants the best for him. however, because of his skilled training she sends him out on dangerous missions putting him in life threatening situations.

her connection with ralph is that she want's to help him.

ralph has been neglected by toriel for a while and jade feels bad for him.

eventually he convinces him to help her in return of getting revenge on toriel. so basically, ralph does become an antagonist in this chapter.

she once dated the champion, but the champion mistreated her, and they ended up breaking up.

she mistreats toriel cause of how toxic she sees her as. she locks her in a cage and sometimes enslaves her.

and like I said with color king. they fall in love and find happiness

her connection with Agatha. after neglecting her she did feel mass guilt and wanted to apologize but could never find her.

and there isn't much to say about Mr. five star.

in the light world she is a worn-out dress that toriel no longer wears.

and that is the full story. I hope you liked it. comment your opinions on it. what you like and don't like about it. I think I can already tell what most of you won't like about it.

and also comment if i should make more posts like this

[maifazcomics]

After a little discussion i had about if the ARG is important to understand and appreciate Sea of Stars and the Saboverse as a whole, i have some thoughs

Mainly that: no, you don't need to read the ARG

It was always planned as something only for the most hardcore of fans, the ones actively searching for more stuff

There are only three informations that are at the moment ARG exclusive:

- the Demon King in The Messenger (AKA Dweller of Strife + the Acolytes) is a pale copy, and the real one's remnants are inside Clockwork Castle

- Resh'an and Aephorul were lovers, and created the Elixir of Life to escape until society accepted them

- the Shopkeeper is a woman, and she descended from The Watchmaker

The rest is just community fluff and Resh'an being incredibly emo, nothing essential

I feel like these informations are important, but they just weren't able to be explored yet.

Continued ramblings below:

About the DK, with Picnic Panic being part of a planned three-act DLC (Barma'thazël's Revenge) that they stopped working to prioritize Sea of Stars, and the final one presumably having you reach Clockwork Castle, this could have been explored there. Or maybe in another game. We still have 3 more books to go, in the end

Shoppy descending from the Watchmaker... with the DLC being called "Throes of the Watchmaker", this has the potencial to be explored there. Or not. They are characters so far apart, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS APART, knowing this information would change your whole perception about the games? This only happens because of the curse of knowing stuff lol, and as someone that knows I would like to see this being explored. But my point is that this isn't fundamental.

And Shoppy's gender... people misgendering her after playing The Messenger bothers me, but it isn't the devs fault IMO. They never use pronouns with her in the game for a reason (iirc Thierry said he didn't want anyone to assuming stuff about the Shopkeep, and that's one of the main reasons behind him writing first in English and having ENG as the only canon language), and people using he/him are taking that out of their asses. Just a one minute Google Search and you find that information, you don't need to read all the ARG logs

There are other stuff like Primals or Shoppy being the first Messenger, the Artificer giving the scroll to Monk that Bowman got because she got transformed into the Queen of Quills and then gave to Ninja, or the entirety of Void Logic being explained and still making us confused to this day, and this is all fluff. Like for real, all that was needed to be in The Messenger for the BIG LORE is already there, and for Sea of Stars too

And for the big elephant in the room, Resh'an and Aephorul being really gay for each other. This is something not even the ARG explored further! Resh'an said that at February 2019, when we didn't even knew who a Fleshmancer/Aephorul was, then when he got to tell the community about him Resh'an explicitely said that he didn't want to elaborate further on his personal past with Aephorul. And with Sea of Stars, we got a taste of that, but it was only their introduction to the world!!!

More like anything else, this feels like something to be explored on the next books (just explaining this better, Thierry Boulanger, aka Creative Director and Writer and some other stuff, has come and said that his dream is to tell this grand story in 5 arcs/books (books because Sabotage works directly with Resh'an, translating the books he writes into videogames) book 1 being TM and book 2 being SOS). This narrative, at least for me, feels like it is about them. About these "gods", the harm they created to this world, and how Resh'an wants to redeem Aephorul. It feels... like a slow burn. And that's why i think they didn't want to tell this right now

Like, Time Shards. We didn't have much lore about them in TM, then SOS comes and BOOM, Time Shards indicate the presence of a timeloop. And maybe Resh'an created them too?? This recontextualizes the nature of the Messenger narrative. And them being More Than Friends can be that too, both for the general public and the Lore Nerds. We still don't know about their society back then, or if the flashback cutscene was pre or post elixir, or why specifically Aephorul became evil, etc. This all feels intentional, ya know

The rest of the ARG is just a bunch of fun interactions the characters and the community had, and a buuuunch of foreshadowing to what we get to see in Sea of Stars. Either Clockwork Concierge (AI Core) hinting about his past with Caël and the Kids, Arty saying he was a robot, or Resh'an literally infodumping about the Guardian Gods, Dwellers and World Eaters. We see all of this in Sea of Stars, and that's amazing!!!! It's so cool to see all of that being real, and that makes me confident that all of this unresolved stuff is something thar Sabotage wants to make real too

/rant over

But would i recommend reading the ARG? oh sure i do. It's very fun. The narrative framing of the games being books written by The Archivist and SaboTeam working for him is so interesting. And also, we get tons of insight into Resh'an's mind and how he's just extremely depressed, how he misses Aephorul and yearns for being loved but doesn't know how to deal with that when people love him back

Also Clocko's adorable

---

EDIT: After chatting with someone, they pointed something about Shoppy's gender that is really relevant to bring out. Yeah yeah, Sabotage wrote the game with English in mind and in ENG they didn't pronoun her at all. But two things

First: in many languages got translated into, including Quebecóis which is a script Thierry himself wrote, since you need to gender stuff, the Shopkeeper got treated as male because of defaulting. So if you played the game on those languages, and didn't follow any stuff related to it, you just assumed Shoppy was a man and moved on with your life.

Which, by the way, is something I MYSELF made. I stopped following the ARG in 2019, so I didn't see the conclusion about her gender for years until some months before SOS came out. And as something I still haven't told, I come from the forbidden land of Brazil, and the PTBR translation of TM is one that suffers from that, so I defaulted her as a dude for years and years

And second: even if you played the game directly on english, if you speak a language that also does the male-defaulting, you probably did that too, and that is not your fault

In the end, this isn't anyone's fault. I may have been too mad at seeing native english speaking redditors calling her a dude? Yeah maybe. But yeahhhhh we live in a society in the end, and them being explicit on the text about her gender on the future would help that at lot

Thankfully on the easter egg she's referred as a woman on SOS in PTBR, which is GREAT

Hello, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good night - whichever you like more!

I know you're currently obsessing over Bed Friend, so I bring you questions.

Do you think the yellow lamp with a smile is supposed to be representative of something, or is its sole purpose to distract me from the scene?

2. There are several flashback scenes, but only one of them had these flashes of red and green around the characters. Do you have any theories as to why? Is it because that specific moment triggered Uea more than other moments?

Also, when is Saturday coming and why are there only 8 episodes to this show? 😔

@sliceduplife - It's the week of Lent, so I no longer operate on a morning/noon/night schedule. The only time that matters is how many days before Lent (two), how many days of Lent (40, technically 46), and after. Kind of like my obsession with this show - days before the next episode (five), how many weeks I still have this show (seven), and the aftermath.

I must cherish this show while I have it, so let me scroll through my mind's storage room to find some other queer friends to help with these answers.

Do you think the yellow lamp with a smile is supposed to be representative of something, or is its sole purpose to distract me from the scene?

In the infamous words of Bad Buddy's Pat and Pran:

Do you see the smiley lamp in the picture above? That smiley lamp launched a hundred think pieces on its symbolism in this scene, and a majority came down to two conclusions: 1) it's the light in a dark time aka it's the hope in this depressing scene where Pran gets his hopes swiftly crushed by an unknowing Pat, and 2) it's Pran immediately putting on his facade, so Pat doesn't suspect that Pran actually likes HIM and not Ink.

Applying those ideas to Bed Friend, the lamp is showing us that 1) even though Uea just had an alarming episode in the parking lot, there is hope that he will be okay, and 2) he will continue to wear this mask of happiness. Jade and King ask Uea if he is okay, and each time, he says he is fine. The lamp shows hope, but it also demonstrates how Uea covers up his pain with a smile.

Pran and Uea got their lamps from the same store - The Smile & Denial Store.

There are several flashback scenes, but only one of them had these flashes of red and green around the characters. Do you have any theories as to why? Is it because that specific moment triggered Uea more than other moments?

I'll let the boys at Semantic Error take this one:

Maybe you can already tell where I'm going with this. The color palette for a command and error code is a mixture of red, blue, and green. Right before we see Uea's flashback in the parking lot, the colors go into the negative.

In the parking lot, the darkness triggers his episode. The switch into the negative happens quickly, and when the color comes back, it has the error code written throughout the flashback.

Uea's brain can't tell what is happening right now and what is the past. Both of them are blending together at that moment, and he can't escape. His brain cannot distinguish reality, in the present. This is when King grabs him and tethers him to the present.

Later, we see Uea sitting on his couch thinking about his past, but he clearly knows he is thinking about the past instead of believing he is living that experience because the error code colors are missing.

Also, when is Saturday coming and why are there only 8 episodes to this show?

Me, refreshing this Gagaoolala page eighteen times an hour just in case the episode is released earlier.

Old Fashion Cupcake got me in five episodes. My Beautiful Man did me in with six. To My Star had me in less than two hours. If Bed Friend knows what to do with each one of these episodes, which by the looks of episode one, it does, I'll be thrilled with each episode and the story that is being told.

But I'm always a sucker for a second season!

Thor Odinson

tagged by : @beheworthy bc i would ALWAYS like 💖💖💖

Give me a fictional character and I will say:

Favorite thing about them: His big dumb hero's heart. His compassion. How much he loves his home, his people, his family, his beloved, his friends — how much he loves.

Least favorite thing about them: //stares pointedly at his inability to form meaningful connections because Thor is Not Allowed to be Not Okay (even when it's obvious and people he loves asks him to share his heart).

Three things I have in common with them:

I am, myself, an elder sibling!! And one whose younger brother was/is someone I am incredibly close to, care a great deal about — that entire drama is very close to home for me.

A passion bubble for friends and family that's, on occasion, close to the surface... but otherwise am chill 👍

and .... bunt out golden child syndrome vibes. Especially that vibe of "do it on your own and put on your leader face at all times, because all eyes are on you, good luck"

Three things I don’t have in common with them:

His ... overly reserved nature. I've been told I can be serious but I don't think I brood the way he does.

One day I will be nearly half as eloquent in my speech outside of writing 🙏

The way that Thor is able to just command a room???? Goals. Total goals. I'm either very good at directing conversations or shaky at it and I wish I had Thor's level of confidence.

Favorite line:

"i would rather be a good man than a great king."

OR ALTERNATIVELY.

"is that why everything's on fire~?"

BROTP: Brodinsons 100% . Then the entire warriors + sif squad dynamics! I'm forever sad we never got more of them all together. Then Heimdall, because Thor deserves positive mentor figures in his life. (and as far as the avengers proper go: Thor/Steve absolutely deserves more recognition they were the og duo as far as Age of Ultron is concerned and y'all , we've all been sleeping.)

OTP: Fosterson ! :D They're adorable star-crossed lovers, and he loves her very much. (and she feels the same for him !)

NOTP: if i see (1) more fan art of thorki in the thor tag i will scream. I guess also bruce/thor and valkyrie/thor exist ...??? I'm not really sure who Thor's exactly shipped with in the MCU besides Jane.

Random Headcanon: One time I considered the thought of little!Thor being exceptionally friendly with his kitchen staff servants, and because he's a strong little guy, he'd pick up giant barrels 3x his size and lug them around just because he wants to be helpful. And he'd do it with or without the prize of getting snuck goodies (though he would definitely prefer the goodies, were it up to him.)

Unpopular Opinion: I'm not sure if this counts as an unpopular opinion exactly, but I do always find it interesting that in the Frozen Vault Scene in Thor (2011), what the cinematography and editors show us that sets Thor off is seeing the dead einherjar...

And I'd actually say that this triggers his anger more than the interruption of his crowning ceremony.

So with that in mind, I'm not actually sure that (most of) his rage regarding the situation was about the coronation at all, in that case. At least, not in comparison to the fear he states (semi-subtextually) about being strong enough to maintain Asgard's borders were. ("They know you are vulnerable.")

He actually seems to only be upset about the coronation AFTER Odin makes it very clear he's decided to change his mind and rescind the crown from him entirely ... which only further fuels the point that Thor isn't ready. (aka: the one thing Thor is keenly aware of, scared of, and is scared the Frost Giants also know.) Which, you know, he's not at that point in time, but I don't see a lot of people talk about the details of that particular inciting incident all that much.

(honestly the ENTIRE text and subtext of the frozen vault scene absolutely FASCINATES ME so maybe I'll do a deep dive on it one day idk)

Song SONGS I associate with them: ... //looks at my 5-minutes-until-13 hr playlist uh...

Glowing, Boreas, and Rounds by The Oh Hellos

Plant Life, The Real World, and Bird with a Broken Wing by Owl City

No Sanctuary by UNSECRET (ft. Sam Tinnesz and Fleurie)

Afterglow and Places by Portrair

Paper and Ink (fosterson) and Everything Changes in Time (brodinsons) by Madds Buckley ... also Hoping on Another Life by Madds Buckley

Favorite picture of them:

//pulls out my entire dark world screenshots folder bc are you really going to make me choose, quirks, are you really going to make me choose

soft beautiful 🥺🥺🥺🥺 precious boy ... give me more of that poncho look tho thanks

Tagging: @darkwee009 for pinkie pie or for kirby ! :D whichever you'd like more, friend !!!

Stranger Things Time Loop Fic Recs

This list will include all ratings and tags, so read at your own discretion! :)  

The One in Which a Time Loop is Fucking Exhausting. by badpancake - Not Rated

Series: 3 Works

It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.

Steve fails. They lose.

“Steve, how many loops have you been through?”

His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.

“I lost count.”

AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.

the bitter of war where nobody won by sickoflosiingsoulmates - Rated T

Series: 2 Works

He tries every combination of the plan that he can think of, and still, Eddie dies every single time. He doesn’t know what to do; he can’t keep leaving the Upside Down without Eddie, or with only his body, he can’t keep watching a grief-stricken Dustin, he can’t keep failing to save Eddie and Max and sending whoever else to their death. He can’t - he considers himself a strong enough person, but he feels ready to crumble under the weight of it all.

[or, steve is stuck in time]

pulling your strings by Thorinoakentwig - Rated T

He wakes up to the melody of Kate Bush and the sound of Dustin and Lucas arguing about what sounds like who would win in a fight between Batman and Superman.

It’s like ice water dripping down his spine and Steve jerks up wide eyed and horrified as the kids look over at him in confusion.

(Or: Steve lives the same day over and over again trying to save his friends)

Star of the Masquerade by glorious_spoon - Rated M

Steve jerks awake, sitting up so quickly that Robin almost topples over and staring wildly around the room. When his gaze lands on Eddie, he blanches visibly.

“Oh, shit,” he mutters. “Come on, no. Come on. Not again.”

“Harrington?” Eddie asks slowly. He does not love the way that Steve is staring at him right now. He really doesn’t. Steve looks like he’s staring at a ghost, a bloodied monster, like Eddie is something that should not exist in the light of day. “You good, dude?”

the lathe by palmviolet - Rated M

Series: 2 Works

"This time, do it right. This time Eddie won’t bleed out in his arms, in anyone’s arms. This time, Steve will do it right."

— or, steve relives the day they try to kill vecna over and over, and eddie just can't seem to stop dying. steve finds this totally unacceptable.

If I Could Turn Back Time I Would Find A Way by MooseMan - Rated T

Series: 3 Works

It was over. Vecna had won, and was splitting the town.

And then he wasn’t. Steve had no fucking clue how he ended up back in ‘83, but by god he had three years to prepare now and he wasn’t going to waste them.

falling in love in reverse by alchemystique - Rated T

Series: 11 Works

“Did you, uh… did you sing to me, once?” Eddie asks, sitting on the hood of Steve’s car and staring up at the sky so he doesn’t have to pretend he isn’t desperate for everything promised in the eyes that haven’t left Eddie since Eddie woke up in that hospital bed. It’s just –

Time loops, and the King of Hawkins High going back over and over and over again just to stop Eddie Munson from dying, and –

“Fuck,” Steve says, and Eddie doesn’t remember, but there’s a song that won’t leave his head, and the voice is soft and warm just like the way Steve smiles at him and – “I didn’t think you remembered any of it.”

---

Eddie died in a time loop a hundred times and all Steve got was this tee-shirt.

the king is dead, long live the king by lesbianrobin - Rated T

“Nancy, we gotta go, we can’t save him,” he hears Jonathan say, and just as he watches Nancy raise her gun, something tears through his back.

It’s heat and pain and blackness ripping through his chest, it’s tears on Jonathan’s face, it’s Nancy pulling the trigger, and they need to move they need to move they need to move and he can’t move and everything is going black and breathing doesn’t exist anymore so with whatever breath his lungs can gather, he yells.

“Run,” he gasps out, more wheeze than word, and he feels warm blood soaking his abdomen. The thing in his chest is holding him up now, his body limp, every nerve screaming as his vision blurs. He can feel its body pulsing inside him.

Nancy’s wide eyes narrow. Steve hears a bang, and he’s dead.

-

Steve never really thought he'd get a second chance.

It's a Boy! 1/1

I couldn't pass this one up! Enjoy!

Two Years ago, The House of Mysteries

John Constantine finished the ritual. He needed help with a powerful spirit; apparently, only the Ghost King could handle him.

He was prepared to pay for the king’s price, even if it was for (a piece of) his soul. It wouldn’t be the first time he made a shady deal, and it wouldn’t be the last. A green portal opened up above the magic circle he had drawn.

The candles went out, and the room got cold.

What came out was an eldritch being with galaxies dying and being born in his eyes. He had a crown of ice-cold fire over his white, floating hair and a cape that bellowed behind him. The cape had stars sewn into it. His limbs were long, longer than they should be. The being’s fingers tapered off into long, green claws. His fangs were dripping green liquid. His skin was blue, and he had elf-like ears. He had on a black and white suit of armor.

Its physical appearance didn’t throw John off; no, it was its aura.

John bowed before the entity, “Ghost King, I have summoned you for help. I am willing to give you my soul if you help me get rid of the spirit called Nocturne. He has been causing havoc by putting both citizens and heroes into a deep slumber.”

John felt a cold sweat starting the longer the being stared at him.

“I accept your offer, John Constantine,” the voice boomed. “I will capture Nocturne in exchange for adopting you into my family.”

“Thank you—wait, what?”

The being took a more human-like shape. His skin was pale, and his white hair no longer floated as if gravity had no hold. He was wearing a black and white hazmat suit with a stylized “D” and “P” in the middle of his chest.”

“You offered your soul; I accepted.”

“Yeah, my soul. How does that translate to me being adopted by you?”

The entity smiled, “In the Infinite Realms, offering your soul to a spirit or ghost means being adopted by them. How do you think I got adopted by the Ruler of Time?”

Fuck, John hadn’t known that! Maybe he should’ve done more research.

“I’ve always wanted a son,” the entity said in a chipper voice. “Now, let dad get rid of the problem for you, and then I’ll be back.”

The being disappeared, and he reappeared before John could process what had happened.

“Oh, and we’re gonna talk about why your soul is in pieces.”

The being disappeared again.

John took out a cigarette. He had no idea what happened, but he knew one thing: there was no way in hell he was calling that thing ‘dad.’

Two years later, The Watchtower

It was time to call his dad.

Trigon had merged with the Devil Nezha and had become unstoppable. There was nothing the Justice League and Justice League Dark could do. As embarrassing as it will be to have his dad help him, at least there’ll still be a world to be embarrassed in.

 John put out his cigarette.

“Okay, I have a solution. I don’t like it, but we have to summon the Ghost King.”

“The Ghost King? Isn’t he a tyrant,” Deadman asked.

The rest of the heroes started protesting when they heard what Deadman said. John shouldn’t have made him visible.

John whistled to get their attention.

“A new king replaced the old tyrant through the right of conquest years ago. He’s not the same as Pariah Dark.”

“How do you know,” Batman asked.

Paranoid bastard.

“I’ve met him. He’s a good person if a bit over the top.”

“Hn,” Batman grunted, “and you’ll think he’ll help you?”

“He will, for a price. One I’m going to have to pay.”

Before the others could protest, John used the summoning ritual his dad had given him to get him directly.

His dad came out of the circle in his eldritch form. Many of the Leaguers stepped back or got on the defensive.

“Dad, you’re scaring my colleagues. Can you tone it down a bit?”

“Dad,” the word echoed through the room.

His father smiled, showing his fangs.

“Sure thing, Johnny,” Danny Phantom, aka the Ghost King, answered in a booming voice.

Soon, he was in his Phantom getup, hazmat and all. He kept his ghostly tail, which he used to wind around John’s body. Dad smoothed John’s hair and kissed him on the cheek. He sighed. His dad was very touchy-feely.

Dad’s eyes went to the cigarette at John’s feet and frowned. Fuck. John felt a lecture coming.

“Johnny, are you still smoking?”

“No,” he answered at the same time that Hal Jordan, the wanker, said “yes.”

No wonder Batman hated him.

“This is so cute,” Flash said while taking a picture. Ha, the joke was on him; his dad corrupted pictures on modern cameras.

“Can we get back to the problem on hand,” Batman said.

Thank the Ancients for the stick in the mud.

“Batman’s right,” John said, “Dad, there are two demons on Earth that are causing havoc, and we can’t stop them. I’m willing to go to the, ugh, family reunion if you take care of them for me.”

“Johnny, I would’ve done it for free, but since you offered, I’ll accept your terms.”

Damn, he wished he knew that sooner.

“I’ll be back in a few minutes.”

His dad disappeared, leaving an awkward silence behind.

“So, um, does that make you a prince,” Superman asked.

“Hell no, he can’t make me accept that title even when he’s begged,” John said, crossing his arms.

“But your dad is a king,” Aquaman said, “That makes you a prince.”

“No, it doesn’t,” he protested.

“How did this even happen,” Wonder Woman asked, “You said you don’t have a father.”

“First of all, I said I have an abusive asshole of a father. Secondly, getting adopted by the King of the Infinite Realms was a bloody accident.”

“How do you accidentally get adopted by the King of Ghosts?” Zatanna asked.

“Well, Zee, in the Infinite Realms, when you offer your soul, it means you’re permitting them to adopt you. I hadn’t known that when I sold him my soul.”

“John, you have got to stop pawning your soul off like that,” Zatanna lectured him.

“Save it, Zee; dad already gave me the talk. Besides, no demon or spirit would take my soul after he adopted me. I have nothing left to bargain with,” he said bitterly.

John took out another cigarette and lit up when his father appeared. John sighed at his dad’s disappointed frown and put out the cigarette. Having a caring parent was exhausting.

“That was quick,” Batman said, “were you able to defeat him?”

“Yep,” his dad answered while pulling out a Fenton Thermos from his chest cavity.

“I had them close to my chest,” he said with a smirk. Damn his dad’s urge to spit out puns.

“So, they're in that little thermos,” Flash asked incredulously. To be fair, John had had the same reaction when his dad had explained the function of the thermos.

He had shut his mouth when he saw a demonstration.

“Yeah, demons are just spirits. Corrupted, evil spirits, but spirits nonetheless. This little baby captures and holds spirits. I’ll take them to the Infinite Realms and keep an eye on them.”

“Wait a minute,” great; Batman just had to interrupt, “How do we know they will be contained in that thing? How do we know you won’t let them loose or control them for your gain?”

Dad rolled his eyes.

“Please, if I wanted to take over the Earth, I wouldn’t need these two weaklings. Besides, I have a whole dimension aptly called the Infinite Realms that I have to deal with. The last thing I need is to add another headache to my plate.

“Johnny,” his dad turned to him, “I expect to see you at the reunion this Saturday. Your aunts are dying to see you again. Oh, Diana, you can come, too. I would love to get to know my niece.”

His dad left, leaving him to stare at Wonder Woman awkwardly.

“What does he mean ‘niece?’” She asked.

John scratched the back of his neck.

“Dad’s dad might be Kronos.”

“What,” Diana asked. Damn it, dad, you couldn’t have kept that yourself?

Diana meets Pandora and her Grandfather (who is chiller this time around) and has fun. She keeps a lookout on her younger cousin and makes sure he doesn't do stupid things. It doesn't work.

John is embarrassed constantly by his dad and newfound cousin. Batman takes a bunch of blackmail pictures with an old camera to get John to do him favors.

Dp x Dc Prompt

I’m sure we all know ‘Constantine adopts Danny and/or Ellie’

BUT I raise you an even funnier concept: Danny is Constantine’s father. 

How? Idk maybe he is immortal and from another dimension and Constantine is somehow biologically his or maybe he just looked at the sad little British occult dude and was like : ,Ah another child perfect’ (if he considers Ellie (and maybe even Dan) his child)

There is a threat that the JL can’t beat and John motherfucking Constantine just rolls up and is like ‘hold my cigs I’m gonna call Dad in for this’ and summons this eldritch horror

But the eldritch horror just takes care of the threat shrinks a little, curls around Constantine and starts fussing over him.

Constantine looks absolutely done and resigned to his fate

Whispers

I just had a rather interesting idea.

So what if, medieval setting, mild magic through very difficult science alchemy and runology stuff (or at least almost to no casting magic/battle magic, aka fireballs and stuff), but everyone, every single human, and I repeat, human, has a kind of telepathy that is called Whispers, and allows the person to communicate with someone through whispering something into the palm of their hand (like a phone with bad mic) and hear the answers when listening to the silence around them. Like, you can't Whisper with someone while at the market, it'd be too loud.

And because of Whispers, humans (or maybe all species, idk) are capable of creating powerful empires, and there is a practice of building Echoriums - rooms, or entire buildings for Whispering all around the world. Of course, no loud talking is allowed there. There are the Whispering Mail, who are skilled to tolerate higher levels of loudness, and who are used to unite the human lands.

As well, Whispering isn't a skill every human is born with, they must learn to use it since it is an unlockable innate ability. People who can't Whisper are called Whispermute, and those who can't hear Whispers - Whisperdeaf. Though, regular deaf people can hear whispers, and regular mutes can Whisper, too.

To communicate with a person through whispers, you must: 1) Have made eye contact with them at least once, 2) Know their name (or True Name if you wish to make the setting spicier).

Perhaps Whispers were always a part of human nature, legends telling of stories how some people heard voices of their loved ones when on the battlefield or kings hearing that some city has fallen when sleeping, and knowing it before anyone has ever heard about it. But through time, Mages discovered that Whispers are a learnable phenomenon, and started putting it into the basic education programs. Soon, around 85% of the human population could use Whispers on daily basis.

As I said, perhaps not only humans could do that. Maybe other races could too, but through special rituals & slightly different.

Say, humans can Whisper, and elves can See (Peek?). Remember that Tolkien's elves can see over the horizon, ignoring the curvature of the Earth? What if not only that but elves can zoom in on anything, for example, the Moon, the stars, even molecules for example, like they are gifted with real supervision.

Orcs wounds never heal. Only the best mages can "heal" them by covering them in special alchemical smears that stop the bleeding, soothe pain or something.

Dwarves have incredible seismic sense. They can "see" through walls, feel caverns hidden in the rock, and "touch" the veins of ore deep in the ground. Think Toph from the Avatar.

Goblins have supernatural smell. They can smell souls, they can know the history of anything by having a good sniff, they are outstanding chiefs and a sometimes so gourmet that humans can't eat their food and sometimes faint due to the overwhelming taste.

Gnomish craft never breaks, and only gnomes can destroy what they've created. First you might think of the little things like watches, cups and glasses, but once you increase the scale of this, you would realize that their fortresses are indestructible, thus, very difficult to invade.

Trollish food, if eaten by non-trolls, gives a year worth of full stomach. You black out when eating, usually, and don't feel hunger until the same phase of the moon in the year comes back.

Halflings (hobbits)... They already have the stealth of just vanishing whenever they need, so I won't touch them. Though their booze is headbanging.

Let me know what you worldbuilder mutuals think.

Also, those ideas can be separate and are not necessarily in one setting. As well, all the non-human quirks might be innate-unlockable abilities, like Whispers are.

Benimaru NSFW headcanons

Aka how I imagine Benimaru

Warning: nsfw, minors please dni, slight spoilers (due to my comments), my grammar

He is a dom if you are just a fuck buddy but he is a switch leaning dom if he loves you

He is rough no matter what, hard trusts but the tempo can fluctuate. If he is in a loving mood, it would be slow and hard trusts but if he is riled up, you're in for a wild ride.

He got big breeder balls but I don't think he is very sensitive (my dude survived a training of hell, he must not feel much anymore lmao)

100% finishes inside of you. May it be conscious or unconsciously but he got that strong breeding kink instinct. He want a family something he didn't have until he got adopted and at least one biological kid. Though, he wouldn't mind adopt the other ones.

While he is very confident about his strength and his ability to protect Asakusa, in term of love, he doesn't think he is worthy childhood traumas, I choose you, so he would be into praises and grand displays of affection (inside a room)

He is possessive. Baby beni didn't have much until he got Asakusa (and then he got too much lmao). So he would mark you and live for your embarrassment when you realise people are starring at his marks. He could be jealous but like only of his fellow fire soldiers. As long as he thinks of them worthier than him and you have a very good relationship with them, he would be worried (and demonstrate that worry by destroying you and your hole)

He doesn't mind going down on you but he prefers the other way around.

He is a taker more then a giver

He doesn't have the patience for complicated bondage but he likes to see you all tied up. He would probably do some simple knots and calls it good.

But he has enough patience to tease and edge you.

He is into overstimulation, something about your tears and your fucked out expression got him hard.

Benimaru is smaller than Obi (but still fairly big) and meaner.

He wouldn't degrade you per say but he would mock you. A bit like Sukuna (from jjk) with the ~ganbare gandare~

He would tell you to do all the works before suddenly flipping you and have you his way (in a way, it's how he shows you mercy because when he goes out, he really goes all out).

Beni likes chaos, so he would enjoy messy sex with scented oil.

He would love taking you from behind. He has a thing for backs and necks (and a good ass) and would plant hickeys here.

He would hate, however, to clean the mess after.

I refuse to believe he is a king of aftercare but he will help you clean. He just won't go backward if you ask. The king is Obi, I don't take criticism. And that's because he enjoys seeing you stumble around like a baby fawn, the result of him going all out (he will help you after a few stumbles, just let him bask in his smugness)

And I think that's enough for today. You can always ask for more if you want.

See you & take care, fellow sinners

not proof read! (minors dni)

a/n: we apologize for being so inactive recently! here’s a new work we’ve been working on, we hope it makes up for our long absence.

Bang Chan

    •    Probably one of the sweetest rulers ever

    •    Incredibly approachable

    •    Gives you the best advice you’ve ever heard sometimes whenever you’re having problems

    •    Sometimes you forget he’s royalty because you just feel so comfortable around him

    •    Lots of people swoon over him because honestly how could you not? Especially since he’s so sweet literally 24/7

    •    Nobody has ever seen him unhappy before, and he has certainly never been seen angry - only slightly annoyed but that itself is a rare sight

    •    He has a big soft spot for puppies and just all things cute

    •    He might have once proposed to change the name of his kingdom to something puppy-related (Succeeded in changing the national flag to something that had puppy paws in it)

    •    He enjoys swimming a lot, and there will almost always be a crowd of fans watching him and cheering him on every time! He may get really shy about it, but on the inside, he secretly likes it and it motivates him to do better!

Bang Chan As Your Prince

    •    As a lover, this man treats you like you’re royalty too, even if you aren’t!

    •    He will never allow you to degrade yourself or put yourself down but if that’s your way of coping, he won’t hesitate to give you his full, undivided attention…and then he’ll shower you with love and very kind words (he’s incredible with them - it never fails to blow you away)

    •    His singing voice is lovely, you often ask for him to sing you to sleep which is something he loves to do! He sees it as a way to get in some minutes of practice so he can improve himself

    •    He always wants to better himself and take care of others so much to the point that he’ll ignore his own needs, so he’ll definitely need someone to take care of him

    •    You sometimes can’t believe you’re lucky enough to call him yours, but he feels the same about you too, and he’ll always make it known (You swear your heart melts a little (in the best way possible) whenever he gets shy)

    •    He’s very cuddly, he loves giving you hugs; if there’s a day that goes by where he doesn’t give you one at least once throughout the day, then you know something is wrong

    •    He giggles a lot, and anything can set him off but you find it to be incredibly endearing

    •    He is just so soft…especially in the bedroom, but there are times when things get a little more heated

    •    “In a world that was dark and grey, you came along and painted beautiful, vibrant colors”

Lee Know

 •    He seems unapproachable at first because of his icy stare, but that’s quite the contrary actually (he’s actually an incredibly warm human being)

    •    Loves to crack jokes! Most of them are cat-related, but don’t comment on that or else he’ll probably stare at you weirdly and will continue to do so until you let it go

    •    Don’t tell anyone, but he secretly loves playing with cats in his free time, and sometimes whenever he has to spend a full day tending to his ✨ royal duties ✨ you’ll find him squeezing time in to pet some stray cats or to rescue them

    •    Speaking of rescuing stray cats, he’s incredibly passionate that no cat should be homeless and each should be loved and taken care of

    •    Not just cats, but he believes any stray animal shouldn’t be left without a home or a loving owner (He himself has three cats)

    •    He’s basically the president of the kingdom’s animal rescue team, and he often checks up on the shelter to either play with some of the animals there, or he’ll chose one and spontaneously run around the kingdom to promote how adorable they are in hopes of finding them a home at the end of the day

Lee Know as your Prince

 •    You must be an animal lover like him, because you guys will spend so much time together at the shelter to play with them!

    •    He’s a little awkward when it comes to affection, specifically hugs, but with given time, he’ll warm up to it! Plus, he’s awkward in a cute way

    •    He’s gifted you a cat plushie which you’re unable to sleep without at night, sometimes you’ll catch him stealing it from you because he claims that it’s just too adorable

    •    You guys have ice cream dates a lot, because he seems to have a second stomach for it

    •    Whenever you go with him to get his portrait painted, he loves to pose in funny positions and make funny faces, there are a lot of portraits consisting of him doing so, finding a more serious one is kind of rare but hey…you’re just glad to see his true personality that he’s a bit hesitant to share with the rest of the kingdom

    •    You happened to discover this on accident, but he likes it when you ruffle his hair and look at him fondly, it makes his heart race

    •    He often guards his emotions, but you feel thankful whenever he opens up to you because sometimes you get worried when he bottles them up for a little too long

    •    He can be a bit evil sometimes, and that shows in the bedroom but he makes sure to never do something you’re not comfortable with - your needs come first  

   •    “You are my pride and joy, I feel so lucky to have you”

Changbin

• SUCH A FUN MAN!

• Nicknamed the prince of fun! Only by a few people…everyone else refers to him as the “pig-bunny prince” because he has a big obsession with Dwaekki (he might even be the face of the kingdom…literally. aka the national flag)

• You can trust him with practically anything. But do expect him to playfully tease you most of the time!

• He can be really loud! Even if you’re a few rooms down from whatever room he’s in, there’s no doubt you’ll be able to hear him

• He really loves music, he’s in charge of anything music-related (He’s hosted rap classes before, and a lot of people found them to be a bit on the difficult side because he can rap incredibly fast)

• He’s pretty chill, and kind of like a best friend to everyone - he’s that open to things and he’s incredibly reliable (He’s got everyone’s back, whether you’re close to him or not.)

Changbin As Your Prince

• He’s a very fun lover as well, your love life together is always full of excitement

• Certain activities could possibly cause him to get severely injured, and you always mentally note that you should tell him to stop, but seeing the pure joy on his face…you can’t help but to change your mind. (He’s a little daredevil, it’s kind of rare to see him mellowed-out, and when you do, you should probably be concerned when he isn’t being his loud, hyper self)

• He can be pretty affectionate when he wants to be but he displays his love for you through other actions rather than physical affection

• He too, is very good with his words! He makes you feel like you’re on cloud 9

• That “cool guy” act that he’s got going on? It doesn’t show up as much when he’s with you, because he’s just that comfortable with you. (Plus he thinks that you deserve to see the true Changbin…the man behind the prince that everyone else doesn’t get to see)

• His playfulness shows up in the bedroom too, along with ruthless teasing, like sometimes you’ll have to beg for him to have mercy on you but in his opinion that just makes things more exciting

“What was my life before? Ever since we met, I can’t seem to live without you anymore”

Random, but you know that it’s canon that Bella spent her summers with Charlie (at least when she was younger)? I like to think that since Billy and con are legit his best (read: only) friends, Bella prob spent a lot of time on the Rez too, specifically around some of the pack as kids (specifically Jacob and his sisters, plus Leah and Seth bc tbh it would make sense, and Bella and Leah should have been friends to begin with, but that’s another convo). Anyways, any headcanons for this?

Oh I am aware and totally agree, and that's why I was very confused when Bella didn't know what La Push was in the first movie... You definitely went there every summer for several years when your father went fishing, Bella. Hello??? 🤔

But yeah, headcanons:

So it's the summer of 1992. Bella is 4, Leah is 5, Rachel and Rebecca are 6, Jacob is 2 and Seth is barely 1

It took a long time for Bella to warm up to Rachel, Rebecca and a Leah, AKA the 3 musketeers. They were confident and rambunctious while Bella had a more quiet and timid demeanor, but she could get fired up if you pressed her buttons long enough

When Bella first meet the twins she could never tell them apart, and the twins were always quick to correct her. It was super embarrassing for Bella and she profusely apologized the first few times

One day Bella finally got it right but the twins pretended she was wrong. She threw the tantrum of all tantrums (queue the red face and feet stomping) when Leah told her she was actually right, and she ranted about it to Charlie for the entire drive back to Forks

The next weekend Bella ran over to the twins, pointed between them and shouted, "You're Rachel and YOU'RE Rebecca!!" Standing behind the twins, Leah gave her two thumbs up. All the parents laughed

The twins and Leah spent a lot of time outdoors, doing things like playing king of the castle on the driftwood of First Beach or riding their bikes through puddles and mud around the rez

Bella tried to climb the driftwood once, fell, and scraped her knee. She didn't attempt it again no matter how many time the girls pestered her to come play. She collected seashells and skipped along the tides instead

Sometimes Bella wasn't in the mood to be outdoors so she would spend her time with Jacob and his mom Sarah at their house, since he was still too young to run around with the older girls

While Jacob sat in his high chair playing with cheerios, Sarah would let Bella draw at the table or help stir things in the kitchen while she stood on a stool

Sometimes they would go in the yard and Bella would help Jacob make mudpies to bake in their imaginary oven, and Sarah would watch them through the kitchen window with a smile

When the weather would force all the kids to stay inside, Rachel and Rebecca would turn their room into a beauty salon. This was an activity Bella could shine in-- she could paint nails fairly neat (but she had a lot of spills because she knocked over the polish bottles a lot)

Jacob had to endure a lot of butterfly clips and messy braids in his hair, and there's photo evidence in the family albums

Leah had a constellation book with pictures that Bella fell in love with, and she begged Charlie to let her sleepover at the Clearwater's so she could point out the stars with Leah

Harry set up a tent and sleeping bags in the backyard. Sue brought them hot chocolate and marshmallows, and Harry told them stories about the shapes they saw in the night skies until they fell asleep

My thoughts on “The Suicide Squad”! Disclaimer: this will be very random and not at all a list of legitimate cohesive critiques. Putting this under the cut because it gets quite long!

First things first, I was pleasantly surprised! Now, to be honest, I had very low expectations for this film going in so maybe that helped. But I thought the movie was really enjoyable at all.

Harley Quinn!!! My queen! Margot killed it like always but she seemed to be in peak form in this movie. She stole the screen everytime she was on it.

I loved Harley’s style and energy throughout the whole movie. 

The fight scene where she fought her way out of the mansion was absolutely glorious. The stunts, the choreography, the acting was all badass and top tier and I loved that we saw how Harley doesn’t need anyone to rescue her in the slightest. 

I wish we could have seen more of the “Harley-vision” with the flowers since we really only saw it once.

The one thing I do feel was slightly lacking was Harley as a character didn’t really get a lot of development. It felt more like she was an established character and we didn’t see a ton of change or growth. I do think this was largely to give room for developing the newer characters but I still would have liked to see more.

Cleo Cazo AKA Ratcatcher 2 was my surprise favorite of this film. Her character was so sweet and empathetic but also fierce and badass and funny. Her development was good and she brought so much heart to the team. Plus, her rats were super cute. Also her friendship with King Shark was A+++

Speaking of King Shark, oh my god, I loved him so very much. Everytime he was in danger I was on the edge of my seat begging for him to be okay. 

Overall, I think the film actually did a surprisingly good job of creating suspense for who would live and die. 

Polka Dot Man was also another surprise for me. I really like him and felt for him and the moment he got to be a hero broke my heart but also made me smile. Also shout out to Milton!!!

Idris was incredible in this movie and I liked Bloodsport. He was a good leader for the squad and really held it together. He definitely seemed like the star of this movie and I wasn’t mad about that in the slightest.

I also didn’t hate Rick Flagg. He really annoyed me in the first Suicide Squad but he was so much better here. I actually found myself rooting for him.

John Cena did such a good job of making Peacemaker hateable. I think his character was so interesting because he was a villain who truly believed he was a hero and thought what he was doing was right. I’m curious to see what they do with his character in the future.

Viola Davis killed it like always I’m glad she reprised her role as Waller. I also liked seeing the other people who worked with her and their increasing reluctance.

There were some things that didn’t click for me. I think some characters/stories felt rushed and underdeveloped. 

While a lot of the jokes were funny some of the “edgier” humor didn’t hit for me and I found myself cringing or rolling my eyes.

While it was a bit cheesy at times overall it surpassed my expectations and I thought it was fun!

Godzilla vs Kong: Brutally Honest Thoughts

(Took me long enough, eh? Depending on home video releases be like that.)

So first things first, I have a confession to make: I spoiled the movie before I watched it. I was impatient and they had only announced an HBO Max premiere in the states and a theatrical run in Canada at the time. Afterward, I got heads-up from a friend and immersed myself in the opinions of those lucky enough to see it early. I’m just saying that I have some preconceived opinions that I’m sticking to.

That said, Godzilla vs Kong turned out to be more fun than I expected! But you already knew that. Everyone did. The two kings of movie monsters had their rematch and this time it was with glorious Hollywood SFX powering it this time.

The human story was fun but it’s clear they stopped trying at this point. Team Kong stole my heart, especially Jia. Team Godzilla (although the Conspiracy Crew would be a more fitting term since they spend more time chasing down mysteries than trying to back or understand Godzilla) was more fun than I expected and their dynamic was surprisingly enjoyable. Bernie is actually kind of funny, it's nice to see Madison acting more assertive, and Josh was fine--he was the only sane man of the bunch but he was also the butt of the jokes. Still, all the hardcore conspiracy jokes got old fast and it feels off seeing the daughter of two scientists turn into an edgy conspiracy crackpot. Why not an edgy science major?

Team Apex are fun villains, especially Walter Simmons who's a great megalomaniacal CEO type, but Ren Serizawa is a joke. I like his actor's performance but he's just another footnote. Nobody bats an eye at his last name, although the only heroes he interacts with are Nathan Lind and he just misses Team Godzilla. He really could have just been any other villain, but instead, they had to sully Serizawa’s legacy further while robbing a good actor of some interesting material. (As is, it turns out he was just an egotistical jerk with daddy issues--an easy puzzle to solve on day one--after all...)

However, I still cannot and will not approve of the fact that somebody thought it would be a good idea to make the heroes of a sci-fi story into hardcore conspiracy theorists in this day and age. Likewise, I’m not a huge fan of how they essentially made the Hollow Earth into its own universe complete with a crazy portal and an environment with its own laws of physics, nor am I totally crazy about the huge leap in technology that was made between this and KOTM, or G’14 for that matter.

The monsters as awesome as they are, are the biggest mixed bag in the show.

Kong is at his best in ages, and while I am all for the new heroic warrior character that Legendary have crafted and I acknowledge that making him a worthy opponent for their god-tier Godzilla was going to be a hurdle, I think they did a splendid job. Seeing Kong using agility and acrobatics was a glorious sight to behold, and something about Kong becoming a tool-user and weapon wielder just feels right. It’s a far better demonstration of Kong as a “thinking animal” (*wink, wink*).

I’m much less thrilled about their treatment of his greatest opponent ever. After everything they’ve done to build up Godzilla as the incredible force of neutral good fighting to maintain balance and all the build up to ancient rivalry debating back to a great Titan war--even going as far as putting his name in front Kong’s this time!-- they’ve reduced Godzilla back to glorified bully for Kong. He only gets the minimum amount of sympathy from the cast of his movie before they go off to deal with the conspiracy plot or focus on Kong and the Hollow Earth. Worse still, he is somehow more powerful and more aggressive than ever for a good chunk of the movie which leads to an outcome I’m sorry to say we all saw coming. Somehow, I suspect that the reason behind this was how Wingard cited Godzilla vs. Mothra, vs. Destoryah, and Shin-Godzilla as influences for the monsters scale and story, which while cool and all, are all movies where he was played up as a mostly stoic antagonist rather than a three-dimensional character like Kong. (Though ironically vs. Destoroyah and Shin did a better job of making Godzilla feel more sympathetic and in both of them he was a walking nuclear reactor meltdown.)

Due to the unfortunate time constraints of the three-way deal between Toho, WB, and Universal at the time this was in production, Kong was unable to secure a proper sequel that could develop his skillset like Godzilla’s did. Nevermind the fact the filmmakers completely surrendered to the “nothing matters but the monsters” mentality that a chunk of the fanbase has been spouting since this universe unofficially kicked off almost 10 years ago. (Sidenote: Oh god, I’m turning in an old fart already.) As a result, the movie trips over itself trying to set up Godzilla and Kong’s rivalry as well as building up Kong as a worthy opponent to Godzilla while expanding on their shared lore, and as a result countless plot points set up in in the previous movie and tie-in movie are thrown out the window. I’m sorry to say but in spite of all hopes and illusions of grandeur, it’s safe to this damn thing is a Kong movie with Godzilla as the bad guy.

...at least until HE shows up. Yup, Mechagodzilla. The biggest spoiled twist of the centuries steals the show so the movie can pull a Dawn of Justice. But! It does it much better than the fractured DCEU’s most controversial entry ever could. Mechagodzilla’s inclusion gets a decent amount of build up thanks to Team Godzilla/the Conspiracy Crew, and when he shows up, does he make an impression! At first, I wasn’t sure how to feel about his inclusion or his design, but I’ve come to like this one. He’s basically a kaiju terminator built in Godzilla’s image made purely out of heavy machinery piloted by the best Ghidorah head. It’s a jarring change of pace compared to previous MechaG’s but it grows on you after a while. With the abundance of weaponry stuffed into him, he feels like a fitting update of the original killing machine, and even if his inclusion feels like an easy way out of the big showdown, it’s fun to see him played as a literal colossal heel for the kings to team up against. Not to mention he looks shockingly good with those red highlights. However, one still can’t help but wonder how and why he was made in this universe, or how he feels like pure heavy machinery one minute and then an extra-large Ultron unit the next.

As for the the big throwdowns we’ve all been waiting for... well, we’re still in the mixed bag deparment. While the fights are all exciting and excellently choreographed, and benefit from some more eclectic lighting and cinematograph, I’m sorry to say that as far as the rematch of the century goes they dropped the ball on this one.

Don’t get me wrong, the fights are all great in their own ways, but there’s a drastic change in the feeling of weight and power with the monsters. Godzilla, Kong, and even Mechagodzilla all feel strangely floaty in most of their fights. One moments they feel like true behemoths shaking the very earth with every movement and then it’s like they’re in Godzilla Unleashed, running, jumping, and throwing each other around with speed that feels that almost makes you wonder if the Hollow Earth’s gravity inversion stuff is leaking out into the world. While it’s all perfectly cool, you can’t help but wonder how Kong is able to leap between aircraft carriers and buildings, when Godzilla got the ability to blow a hole through the Earth itself, or how a colossal machine is able to move so nimbly or why it has to be flashing blue all the time.

It’s fascinating and fun but you just can’t help but wonder how we got from almost posthuman disaster and war movies exploring how we’re at the mercy of the ancient almost mythical forces beyond our comprehension, we’ve found ourselves smack dab in the middle of Bayformers meets Jurassic World levels of Hollywood absurdity where anything and everything can and will happen in the name of getting to the monster fights. Although I can’t say I’m surprised given the director’s take on Death Note made some questionable choices with it’s take on the infamous cast while still coming up with some genuinely inspired choices. Still, all things considered we could have gotten worse compared to ther cinematic universes made by WB and Universal.

As for some misc. thoughts to close up this rambling mess:

-The soundtrack is fantastic. A great continuation of the feel of Skull Island’s mixtape with some truly wonderful picks. Special mention goes to the opening and ending songs, and they GOT AN ELVIS PRESLEY SONG IN HERE! YES!!! The three kings of pop culture together at last!

-While this movie didn’t need to be any more overstuffed, it would have been nice if the rest of the Titans didn’t disappear entirely from this movie. I get that Godzilla: Dominion already explained what happened to them all more or less, but it really is a missed oppurtunity that we never got to see another Titan war. Or Rodan attacking Kong to avenge his pterosaur bretheren from days long past. Speaking of which...

-“Save Mothra” jokes be damned, Mothra would have been a welcome gues star, not just to help break up the big fight, but to show off Godzilla’s softer, more protective side. And yes, I want more Mothzilla. Shut up, we deserve it.

-Boy, Monarch sure does a whole lot of nothing up-top, huh?

-The cinematography is a great update but there’s a little too much neon lighting, especially in the Apex HQ and the Hollow Earth throne room. It feels like they’re trying just a little too hard to sell the more futuristic, Hollywood sci-fi feel.

-The score is... great but not that great. Of course, I’ve always had mixed feelings about Tom Holkenburg (AKA Junkie XL)’s music. I liked Kong’s themes, but they REALLY dropped the ball with Godzilla’s theme. Mechagodzilla’s works really well as long you ignore that it’s just Godzilla’s theme in this movie with an ominious choir added in.

-The new Hollow Earth creatures are all perfectly fine. Actually, I thought they were another highlight! Especially the Warbats, Hellhawks, and Doug the Titanus Foetodon Man.

-I want to do a release the extended cut campaign but I don’t think any of us have the energy for that s**t anymore.
