#i have so much more to say about them

How did Time react when he met Sky? Judging by that sketch, his legend lived, but did a description of him survive? Does Tim's know he is chilling with a god killer?

Time’s reaction to meeting Sky? Terror. Just. Fear. I will start by saying that the Chain met Sky differently than they met each other. Generally, portals would drop them into foreign eras, and they’d seek out the hero of that particular time. But with Sky, they never went to his era. Instead, the portals brought Sky to them.

(I know I’m not explaining that well)

So when Sky just suddenly appears at their camp, the others immediately flock to him, asking a million questions, tending to his wounds, etc. There’s not much hiding who Sky is: since he can’t wear normal shirts anymore, his lightning scars are on full display, the Triforce on his hand is unobscured and- well, the Godkiller is described as a mortal with blood-red feathers, a terrifying winged man.

… Time knows exactly who Sky is the moment his lays eyes on him.

The others immediately figure out that he’s a hero, so they welcome him into the group with open arms. But Time, for once, sticks in the back. Upon meeting other Links, the Old Man is always the first to introduce himself, the first to welcome them and explain what’s going on. A kind man, a leader, the strongest of them all.

In the commotion, no one notices how Time shrinks back, how he goes quiet, how he averts his eyes and puts distance between himself and the newcomer. Gone his is friendly smile, his quiet reassurance. As everyone flocks to Sky, Time seems to disappear entirely.

I will also say! That Sky immediately knows what Time is. Time kept his godhood a secret from the others because, let’s face it, knowing that he’s a God would very likely change how they view him. He doesn’t want them to fear him, he doesn’t them to worship him. He wants to be an equal. (And to be honest, he’s not all that happy about being a God. Keeping that part a secret is freeing, honestly. No pressure, less responsibility. He can just be himself).

But Sky’s had enough experience with the divine to know a God when he sees one. And he’s never had a good experience with one: manipulated by Hylia, almost killed by Demise, forced to do the Golden Goddesses’ trails. Sky is just as afraid of Time as Time is of him.

… I have so much to say about these two. But alas! Plot. Spoilers.

Hello! I hope your week is going well!! Here’s a Sally/ Flo related ask!

I remember Sally saying ( in one of my favorite monologues in Cars) that Flo was the first one to take her in when she first arrived.

I would love to hear your interpretation about how that happened!

hi!! fun fact, i actually have a fic about this! -

otherwise, i think sally was about 19 when she landed in radiator springs. i think flo and ramone hadn’t necessarily wanted their own children, but werent against the idea of adopting - and dear lord, she saw this misguided and emotional teenager and fell into absolute motherly adoration. she offered sally a place to stay until she got back on her feet, but then it just turned into sally staying, and flo was NOT mad about it.

i think flo is very motherly in general! i think she certainly acts like a mother figure for lightning as well (although her bias stands with sally - if something were to happen, she would stay by sallys side over lightnings - but only for the first little while), but sally is her baby and she would kill for her daughter

ramone adores sally as well, he sees how much this maternal relationship flowed has with her means and takes a paternal role over her. theyre their own little family in the town and probably one of the closest knit trios of everyone. they were there for sally when she was going through everything awful following her abandonment of california. theyre her Family and dear lord i adore them

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded mfer happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

actually that ao3 post about calculating kudos-to-hits ratios to decide if a fic is worth reading has me so pissed off. someone put real time and energy into something they are SHARING WITH YOU FOR FREE on a site where you can quite literally filter and search by anything you want and you're STILL trying to find a foolproof method to find stuff that's "good enough to read"???

YOU ARE NOT THE TARGET AUDIENCE FOR EVERYTHING

you don't have to like or read everything in a given fandom or tag, but you also don't have to be a cunt about it and imply that it's not worth reading. this is the kind of shit that moves people to stop creating altogether, and to see people agreeing in the tags is so disheartening. absolutely unserious behavior.

Columbo and the Knight (1984)

put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.

the most difficult thing about growing as a person socially, as in getting out of your shell and noticing that you are, is that there will still be times when it doesn’t feel like you’ve grown at all! times when you can’t really connect with anyone around you, times when you fail to enter into an existing conversation, times when you say the wrong thing (or nothing at all when in hindsight you probably should’ve). but that’s also kind of the best thing, because that’s the thing that helps you realize that sometimes, it’s not you or your lack of skills or any shortcoming. sometimes certain environments just aren’t for you and certain people aren’t your people, and that’s okay. that’s human. it’s okay to not feel the progress you have made all the time.

What several levels of exhaustion does to a mother fucker.

I was listening to the album grow again by Moe Reen while making this. specifically Why Deny (The Climate of Our Love).

You could admit it's all on fire And confess to loving me This world is surely ending soon, Our love is certainly something true So why deny the climate of our love?

Theres so much to say about them. The world is on the precipice of disaster and yet they found each other, the successors to the emperor and empress titans. Did the emperor and empress wonder what their successors would become? did they wonder about who their successors would be? did they hope that they would find the love they had? or did they think the story of the titans ended then?

When Fearne was alone with Nana Morri did she ever dream about the people she has around her now? about sharing a bed, with no other expectations other than waking up together?

When Ashton found themselves left behind after the nobodies left him, did he dream about a group of people who listened to what they said and respected their words? did they ever dream of someone wanting to be with them just because they liked being around him?

when they were at their loneliest, was the thought of each other a fever dream?

I still stand as a firm believer that both Ashton and Fearne have two hands, but watching them grow closer together has been amazing. And I hope their relationship continues to flourish, platonically or romantically.

I love the college of winterhold. everyone there is casually deranged and there's like an alarming number of students and staff who threaten you immediately when they meet you. it's always one of the first questlines I do. which makes it even funnier when you get made the arch-mage of the college. I'm level 12 and got through this questline knowing exactly 3 spells. what do you mean you want me to lead the college. this school CANNOT be an accredited institution

uhhh so the number four is associated with death in certain cultures, including japanese, which is fitting for the butcher’s son, yes but just remember neil was supposed to be number three and jean was supposed to be number four ,and in every draft but one jean dies. he is symbolically saved from that fate by dodging the number four (being given, instead, the number three which represents REBIRTH of all things - i made a whole post about that if ur curious) because it means he was never marked for death. so in this draft, where he’s number three, but was supposed to be number four, he comes so close to death - to the point where renee doesn’t know how he’s still alive - because he was supposed to die, doomed by the narrative, but that number three saves him. that number three represents resurrection, and so he doesn’t die like he was supposed to. because he’s not number four, he’s number three. he comes back. he transforms, he heals. he becomes number 29 (i will eventually make a post about jean and the 29)

neil, though, was marked for death. he had the number four tattooed on him, and he goes through his own narrative believing he will die by the end of it. his survival, however, is foreshadowed in the very moment neil thinks he’s about to die - when he is kidnapped. lola burns the number four - the signifier of death - off his face, leaving him scarred, yes, but not marked for death anymore. and so he lives. and guess what: the number 10 represents the start of a new chapter, that one cycle is coming to an end and a new life is starting, one that you’ve worked hard for. so for the number four to be burned off of neil, that tells us neil is going to live. and when neil becomes neil legally, he settles into the number 10 properly. and his new life begins.
