#i'm probably grasping for straws

While Echo being back is scary, it does support a theory I've seen once or twice that has to do with the last episode.

So we know that the last episode is called The Calvary has Arrived. We also know these are Wrecker's first line he's ever said. When referring to the cavalry, he meant the bad batch. Not just a part of the batch but the whole group. This leads to my theory that Tech will come back because he's a part of the bad batch and they can't have a cavalry without him!

Random Worm thought:

Is Shadow Stalker supposed to be an ineffective Hulk for the Wards?

Corrupted (made angry) by their powers, uncontrollable, point them at a problem and watch them go to town (even if Stalker is one of the weaker Wards), on the Heroes side even if she really doesn't belong there

Or am I reading too deep into it and she's just a standard 'Mad Dog' character in the hero roster?

thinking thoughts about how Yaz and Sammy both have episodes surrounding them where the word "long" is used- "The Long Run" and "The Long Game"- but it meant something completely different in each scenario. For Yaz, the distance ITSELF was long; she had to really push herself in the speed sense and go as fast as possible to get from point a to point b (literally across the damn island). For Sammy, it wasn't so much the distance as it was the pace. Kash was literally RIGHT there, she could easily go up to him and make her presence known. But she had to play it safe. She had to take it slow. DO YOU- DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M GETTING AT

I mentioned this when the Adaman/Irida event happened, but I feel like this confirms it. The use of plural here refers to Rei and Ingo. With Rei being confirmed as the skyfaller and Akari being the professor's assistant (and the one speaking), the only other person she could be talking about is Ingo.

it's nice to see people trying to link together things into a coherent single character for That Character from That Game but honestly it's just not working for me on ANY level. There is no coherent characterization. The stuff you're claiming The Character was thinking in the first game they appeared in due to the second are simply not true because those things didn't exist when they made the first game. Actions, intentions, the emotions that make choices understandable...they didn't exist, the effort they made at characterization failed, and there's a clear disconnect between iterations that they hid beneath a veneer of 'oh well he lies' (for me. I'm talking about myself. don't fucking reblog this like it's an attack on you or I'll eat you).

The Character that did those things did not exist in the first game.

Examining character is a fun fandom activity, but when the actual characterization in later iterations is not at all coherent with earlier iterations...it feels like trying to nicely wrap a really weirdly shaped package. Put the shiny paper on and hopefully it'll look like a present. Patch it with tape until it looks okay enough.

This isn't me saying that meta posts trying to make everything coherent are bad; it's a time-honored fandom tradition, and important to the ecosystem.

It's just not vibing with me this time for some reason.

It's a very disappointing feeling as someone who once really liked that character.

Please excuse the cringe but as someone who doesn't have to use a cane but DOES likely have hypermobile knees and also had hip dysplasia as a baby that may still be affecting her gait I feel like I can relate to Viktor juuuuuust a little bit sometimes because that screwed-up gait means I trip and stumble over my own feet ALL THE TIME and it is so annoying.

hm. i don't want to get my hopes up. but maybe the reason i only remember good things really spottily and i can't distinguish them from dreams is because i was kind of raised to think that good things = dreams, bad things = reality. so. maybe if i can change the way i think about it i'll start remembering more

guys i had a dream last night that the ground splitted underneath the town and there was lava coming out from the cracks and the layout of the town matched jade's bleeding symbol like this... what do we think

man isn't it interesting that two of the most influential people in claptrap's life had a nautical theme

looking for a deleted fic from ao3 if anyone has it. there was this jamie/tyler fic and sequel and (to the best of my memory) one of them was called "the other thing" and the description was like "this was how hard it was going to be to be with tyler" and basically some main ideas: tyler has next level internalized homophobia, hooks up with guys but compartmentalizes it so hard he only refers to it as "the other thing that he does," in the sequel jamie and tyler are together but tyler is still sort of figuring out how to act
