Nannasprite, Jane Crocker, Nannaspritex2

Act 6, page 7805-7807

NANNASPRITE: There you are!

NANNASPRITE: I have been looking forward to meeting you, dear. :B

JANE: You have?

JANE: Who are you?

NANNASPRITE: I'm you!

NANNASPRITE: But most know me as John's Nanna. Hoo hoo!

JANE: Oh, yes!

JANE: He told me about you.

JANE: Gosh!

JANE: Pleased to meet you... Nanna, I guess I should call you?

NANNASPRITE: Suits me!

JANE: Calling you Jane might feel a bit strange.

JANE: Also, perhaps disrepectful?

NANNASPRITE: And why is that?

NANNASPRITE: It is my name after all.

JANE: Yes, but,

JANE: You are my senior by many decades, I gather.

JANE: And you have so many more years of life experience, and wisdom, and you...

JANE: Seem to be dressed like a clown?

NANNASPRITE: :B

JANE: Not to disparage your fanciful attire. I quite like it.

JANE: I just mean that...

JANE: You've been through more than I can imagine.

JANE: I couldn't call you by my name. It would feel wrong and flippant to treat you like my equal.

NANNASPRITE: But really, Jane, the honor of meeting you is all mine!

NANNASPRITE: I have been looking forward to it so much since I learned of your existence.

NANNASPRITE: Ever since I spent that one day helping John through his session, there haven't been many reasons for me to feel particularly worthwhile.

NANNASPRITE: Yes, I tended to him and his sister for several years, baked for them, lent a sympathetic ear when needed...

NANNASPRITE: But in a way, it's been a lonely life for me since my ashes fell in this silly old sprite.

NANNASPRITE: I've been strictly an auxiliary actor, there only to serve others even during my greatest moments to shine!

NANNASPRITE: So when I heard of you, a version of myself who was a true hero, so young, empowered, and set to embark upon a life filled with consequential deeds...

NANNASPRITE: I was absolutely giddy. I knew that we had to meet!

JANE: Oh... my!

JANE: You,

JANE: You really feel that way about me?

NANNASPRITE: Yes, Jane!

NANNASPRITE: I do not mean to suggest I regret the way my life has gone, of course.

NANNASPRITE: I lived a very humble life, as free of intrigue and adventure as possible, by choice.

NANNASPRITE: You see, I grew up in dangerous circumstances. I knew how cruel the woman who raised me could be, and what she might do to me or the people I loved if I made waves, or demonstrated any sense of defiance.

NANNASPRITE: So I lived simply. I started a family, and operated a quiet joke shop. Though I always knew trouble was brewing, they were the best years of my life.

NANNASPRITE: Yet I always had a little more knowledge than I ever let on, and used my understanding in subtle ways to help those to whom the torch would be passed in this great fight.

NANNASPRITE: But then, I made the transition from knowing some things in life, to knowing a great deal more in death. Being resurrected as a sprite endowed me with a very deep knowledge of the game and its broader circumstances. I was in peak form, a true harlequin wisewoman, and there was nary a question I couldn't answer.

NANNASPRITE: And then, the dear kids scratched their session, and cast themselves into the unknown.

NANNASPRITE: I ventured with them, and so I too lost my bearing on the nature of what lay ahead.

NANNASPRITE: I went from my prime, a state of all-understanding, to a state of absolute uncertainty. For the first time in about as long as I could remember, I had no idea what to expect next.

NANNASPRITE: It was quite freeing in a way! I had a wonderful three years on that ship with those lovely children. I thought little of what challenges were ahead.

NANNASPRITE: But when I did, my thoughts would always drift toward you, Jane.

NANNASPRITE: Thinking about you, and this adventure you were about to begin, it made me feel like a child again.

NANNASPRITE: It gave me the feelings I used to have for the limitless potential of life, before my stepmother snuffed them out, confronting me with the reality that life would have to take a considerably more limited shape if I wished to survive.

NANNASPRITE: So when I look at you now, I see the potential I had as a child finally being realized.

NANNASPRITE: But in a much more special way than I ever would have imagined back then!

NANNASPRITE: It makes me so proud to see you as a heroic young woman, ready to make a difference, and forge your own destiny.

NANNASPRITE: I just wanted to tell you this before you go off to battle!

JANE: Oh jeez.

JANE: Nanna, I don't know what to say.

JANE: Thank you so much for those inspirational words!

NANNASPRITE: Hoo hoo!

JANE: I think John was really lucky to have you as a sprite. Not to mention, a grandmother, of course.

JANE: It's no wonder he appears to have his act together.

JANE: Maybe I would have been better off if I had someone like you to advise me from the start of all this.

JANE: Maybe I wouldn't have felt so lost.

NANNASPRITE: It's normal to feel lost, though.

NANNASPRITE: And believe me, needing to find your own way in time will make you a lot wiser than having an old lady around to spoon feed you all the answers.

NANNASPRITE: In any case, you have me now!

NANNASPRITE: I think it's been quite a long time since John has needed my guidance.

NANNASPRITE: The boy has grown so much since he clobbered me with a joke book on that fateful day.

NANNASPRITE: From now on, I'd be pleased if you would consider me your sprite. :B

JANE: Wow! :O

JANE: Oh my goodness, yes, please!

NANNASPRITE: In fact, I heard from the cat girl that you and she are on healing duty in this spectacular fray coming up.

NANNASPRITE: It so happens that healing is my specialty. Next to baking of course. (And pranks.)

NANNASPRITE: Why don't I assist?

JANE: That would be great too!

NANNASPRITE: Oh! And Jane, one more thing.

NANNASPRITE: Just so you know...

NANNASPRITEx2: There are actually two of me!

NANNASPRITEx2: HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO!

Blank version on DeviantART ----> HERE.

I actaully did this meme a while back before the show ended, so I decided to update and share. I also added BROTP and Friendship!

Ships under the cut!

Disclaimer: THESE ARE ONLY MY PERSONAL OPINIONS ABOUT SHIPS! YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DISAGREE, BUT IF YOU TRY TO START ANYTHING ON THIS POST OR BE RUDE OR DISREPECTFUL ABOUT IT, YOU WILL BE BLOCKED!

OTP

Glimmadora (Glimmer x Adora) - I have a a couple of reasons for shipping these two, but for short, they just seem more natural to me and it made more sense for them to be endgame due to the events of season 4. Healthier, cuter, and should’ve been canon in my opinion. 

Glimbow (Glimmer x Bow) - Glimbow tends to even be liked to “get Glim and Bow out of way for the sake of CA”, or hated because of “heteronormality”. However for me, I like Glimbow because it’s just plain cute! Also I do like the “childhood friends to lovers” troupe. Even though I do appreciate their friendship, I still have a soft spot for them as a romance :)

BowKyle (Bow x Kyle) - Recently, I hardcore started to ship them! I just think they would be very sweet together, they both can be there for each other and listen to each other. This is part of the reason why I REALLY wished Kyle’s trauma was more of a focus and that he and Bow interacted more outside of that one episode! Honestly, I find them two more appealing than any other ships with Kyle. If Glimmadora were to happen, I would totally make them canon.

Perfuma x Scorpia - Some people may think that these two came out of nowhere, and that may be. However, I still think it’s sweet and makes sense story wise. Scorpia needs some more confidence and love, and who better to give it to her than Pefuma? :) Scorpia’s also a doll and will value someone like Perfuma! They just feel right together, what can I say?

Perfuma x Huntara - If I had to choose someone else for Perfuma, probably Huntara. I see it as a opposites attract kind of thing, and I like the development they had in that episode. 

Like

BowStar (Bow x Jewelstar) - Saw a couple of people around shipping these two dorks together and it did grow on me. However, since they didn’t have much interaction in canon and Jewelstar only appeared in ONE episode (still mad about that), my love for them has gone down for them recently. It’s a cute ship, but I ship Bow with others better. 

Seamista (Mermista x Seahawk) - It’s a okay and interesting ship. Even though my feelings for it can flip back and forth from time to time, it’s overall a fine ship. I just wish the two had a bit more of a buildup and chemistry instead of Seahawk’s affections for Mermista treated as a joke the whole time. 

Mermista x Perfuma - Simple opposites attract and can add a hell lot of humor in my opinion! Why not?

Entrapdak (Entrapta x Hordak) - Nice ship. The two had alot of development through the series and never abused each other. I’m glad they ended up together in the end and I hope Hordak becomes a better person, with Entrapta’s help perhaps?

Adora x Lonnie - A very underrated ship and I wished we saw more insight of their relationship growing up.

Spinerella x Netossa - Nice LGBT ship. Healthy, straight-forward and thee two look great together :) Also like how the two compete against each other sometimes, but is still a healthy functional married couple. It’s something that I would like for AppleDash to be. 

Okay

Hordak x Catra - Leading more to dislike, but I’m mostly neutral on it. Even though the two are terrible together, I do belive that they did care for one another at some point, even if only a little bit. 

Catra x Double Trouble - Seen it around and I’m okay with it. Not my cup of tea, but it doesn’t bother me at all. At least DY would call Catra out on her bullcrap. 

Adora x Scorpia - Always was salty of that fact that Scorpia was instant friends with Swiftwind (Adora’s animal companion) and Glimmer (Adora’s best friend), but not Adora herself. I understand that not everyone has to be friends, but the only real reason why Scorpia even hated Adora was because “she was a terrible friend to Catra”, but that should’ve been over with when Scorpia crossed to the good side, right? I always saw a possible relationship between the two kind of pulling a “Korrasami” (leaving the (jerk) boyfriend/girlfriend and ending up with each other). 

Scorpia x Glimmer - I thought their interactions were cute and they seem to work well together considering the little time they had together :)

Scorpia x Catra - Something I did ship in the past (and yes, I heard of that scrapped Scorpta scene and we were robbed), but ever since seasons 3 and 4, I lost interest in it because of how Catra treated Scorpia within that time. I’m glad Scorpia never went back to her, even when she wanted to. Scorpia deserves a better friend and companion. 

Dislike 

Kyle x Rogelio - Something I was ok with at first, but now I think I dislike it. It doesn’t really seem like Rogelio cares THAT MUCH for Kyle, otherwise he would speak out for him more and attend to his side. I get that they grew up in the Horde, but still. I just think Kyle deserves someone better suited for him and to be more “intone” with his needs.

Adora x Catra - I have expressed my distaste for CA in the past, but to make it short: It’s very poorly developed, overrated, focuses on Catra WAY TOO MUCH, It’s not equal at all, doesn’t hold Catra for any real consequences other than “making Adora sad”, and it’s too abusive in the past for there to be a relationship between them now. I was so close to really liking CA, but Noelle competely missed it’s mark. 

Glimmer x Catra - I tend to dislike these two together for similar reasons to CA. Also, Catra is partly to blame for Angella’s sacrifice. 

Hate 

Kyle x Lonnie x Rogelio - I hate this ship. It’s bad enough that I dislike Kyle x Rogelio, but they have to add Lonnie to it??? Lonnie hasn’t shown ANY INTEREST in either Kyle or Rogelio. Maybe I suport them as a team, but not as a ship. 

BroTP/Friendship

Adora, Glimmer and Bow (The Friendship Squad (and partly Catra)) - The Best Friend Squad is just precious ^^ They been through thick and thin together. Sure they’ve had their trials and tribulations, but in the end, they made it out ok. As for them with Catra? As much as I would like a friendship between all 4 of them, it doesn’t make sense in canon. Season 5 only really works as a separate thing from the whole series. For it to be a continuation of season 4, it doesn’t click. 

Adora and Kyle - I think Adora and Kyle would make for a great friendship. Both have doubts about their selves, but would be the kind of people that would give the other confidence. I think it would even get Adora to recognize that Kyle is actaully not that bad at all??? And why she haven’t ever considered it before??? Heck, I’m really starting to buy into the “lost siblings” theory with these two (probably far fetched, but meh. Still an interesting headcanon). 

Lonnie, Kyle and Rogelio - Even terrible as a relationship, it’s ok as a friendship. 

Scorpia, Entrapta and Catra - Liked this trio in the past. Really wished that Catra realized (or at least took in consideration) of this friendship and dropped her obsession with Adora. 

Seahawk and Scorpia - Liked their interactions in that episode! I hope they got to talk and bond a lot after the war!

On the valoris ship

(This is a long post about dumb ship discourse, its a long post and I'm sorry, Idk how to do read more on mobile)

Okay, I wasn't gonna make a post about it, bit I feel like I should because I feel like both sides ate being kind of awful and unreasonable in some aspect.

On the idea of the Valery x Boris ship - I can understand the flak, because personally I'm against that kind of thing too. Shipping real people and historical figures isn't really cool, especially if it's about still living people. Historical figures are bad too, because it's being disrepectful to their memory, and I feel like in most cases I'd be against it. I wanna offer a counter point to this though.

I feel like in the case of the Valoris ship, the majority of the shippers aren't shipping their actual historical figures. HBO cast two people who are incredibly good at acting by themselves, and put them together to create an amazing power dynamic. Coming from me, someone who very rarely ships anything at all, I found their dynamic to be really strong, and could be taken as purely platonic or something more.

What I think is important to realize is that this show, while historically accurate for the most part, is a drama that has characters that are roughly similar to their real counterparts. I'm going to say very roughly, because most of the history of these people were buried, there's not a whole lot known about their personalities or their lives. So, while the characters in the drama are meant to represent them, they're so drastically different than the real people that it becomes an entirely new entity.

For example - we have Hannibal, a very popular series, in which the main character is roughly based off of the actual serial killer cannibal. Yet, he's different enough that he's his own entity, and when we write about him and do ship stuff with him, we aren't shipping the real Hannibal Lecter, we're shipping this variation of him that's a completely different entity.

When it comes to Chernobyl, everyone is very aware that Valery and Boris were real guys that had wives and kids, but we're not really shipping the real people. Rather, the interpretation we got from the drama, completely different characters, are the ones we're shipping.

I feel like it's a confusing concept to explain, but I feel like antis have been rough about this, and I feel like a lot of the shippers have been kinda rough about how they respond. I wanted to try and give a reasonable perspective on this, to try and explain that we aren't trying to be disrespectful on the real people, we're just having some fun with the characters portrayed in the drama version.

Again, I've been in many, many fandoms and I've rarely ever shipped anything, especially something that would be seen as problematic. As someone who is currently studying literature and pays close attention to character dynamics, I can say that watching Chernobyl and the dynamic between Boris and Valery felt more well done than most shows that are actually trying to establish romantic connections. It was enough to sell me.

Regardless if you agree or disagree, I think we should at least be respectful to each other when we talk on the subject.

Anyone who reads my stories on fanfiction.net, I have to take a break from ambreigns for a bit. Or you could just say that I am going to try to finish the ones that don't deal with dark themes for now. I just can't bring myself to continue some I wrote. It doesn't feel right to do so atm.

I still do like to read ambreigns stories. Reading those brings me some form of comfort. I just don't like stories that try to use these mens personal lives as storylines or prompts in fiction. I thought it was very fucked up that some writers have even dared to use what Roman is dealing with right now. I don't care if some writers are still writing any ship that includes Roman, but please just don't write about him having cancer.

And also, for people who are having second thoughts about writing ambreigns again, I understand why. It can be hard now to write about a fictional character when we know that the man who portrays that character is going through a lot right now. But I just wanted to let you know thats it still okay to write ambreigns or just about any ship with Roman. Theres no need to feel bad about it or ashamed. If you want to continue writing it as a way to cope than thats perfectly fine too. Just don't try to use this leukemia he's dealing with as a plot in the story. And its not Roman that's dealing with it, its Joe Anoa'i. As long as you're being respectful then there isn't a problem.

I also want to apologize. I've made a mistake a few days ago that I truly do feel guilty for. When I wanted to write about how Dean feels now that Roman is away. Idk, but I guess I wanted to try and convey his emotions on how it would be for him if Roman and him are separated. Like far apart from each other. But not in a death like way, but more like a long distance relationship or that person had to go somewhere, you know? And yes, it was based off of him being away, but I didn't want to base it off from what he's dealing with personally. I realized that it wouldn't be right to do that though and I can see that it does come off as disrepectful. So, again. I am truly sorry for that everyone.

Anyway, I did write something though. It was poem that I want to dedicate to Joe. More as a way to let him know that its going to be alright and that he can beat this cancer. And to let him know we all care about him, wish to see him in good health again, that we believe in him. If you want to read it, I will post it here. The title of it is called Little Wolf. The inspiration for that title is based upon how much his character reminds me of one. And one of the first things I said about him when I first saw him on TV was that he is like a wolf in the ring. That was back in late 2015 when I got back into watching wrestling again. Was going through a hard time in my life and wrestling was that comfort for me. Especially seeing his and Dean's friendship. ❤

I can truly just imagine how Jon feels right now. He must be very devastated because he knows that theres that possibility he might lose his best friend. And I can bet right now he is going to miss carpooling with him, wrestling in the ring with him and whatnot. The only thing he can do is just be there for him and pray for the best. I wish I could offer some words of comfort for him. It is not easy when you don't know what the outcome of a situation like this will turn out.

But I really do pray that anyone who is close to Roman, friend family, doesn't lose him. They all have to remain strong for him and hope for the best.
