I know reviving is explained by God Magic in cult of the lamb but I can’t fathom that being resurrected over and over again as a mortal would….bode well for one’s biological structure. What if an individual gets revived just a touch too many times and their body deteriorates over the course of those resurrections. You try to hold on to your first or favorite follower for so long but their mortal bodies just can’t take it after awhile smh

Both Hazuki's and Seiji's death scenes in the Kubitauro chapter are fascinating in the way they were directed Hazuki's death is awful but they're is a bitter sweetness to it, she did get that last conversation with Akira, even if it was unbeknownst to him and it does continue to highlight Akira being a caring guy at his core. Having the children's song play at the end of the scene gives the malicious edge to Hazuki's death, almost mocking him for failing to save Hazuki but again there's an element of peace in it because it gives off the impression that Hazuki doesn't have regrets about her actions even if the outcome was tragic. Seiji's death scene is honestly just wild to me in terms of analysis. Like first you don't get a final conversation scene but instead Akira desperately trying to reach Seiji with the song playing on the phone. Obviously with Akira being more on edge and desperate here makes sense as Seiji is his best friend but we've never seen him lose his composure in this way until this moment! And here he doesn have a feeling something is really wrong and books it back to Kintoki!! Circling back to the children's song and Kubitarou's motivations and grudge, it's been about making offerings to being back loved ones and the fact its mentioned in this moment leads to Akira dashing off to go find Seji to make sure he's ok and he's finds Seiji's head as an offering so it all just comes full circle where Kubitauro's sacrifices never brought her little brother back but Seiji's death as an offering back Akira back to Seiji in a messed up grim way. Having the singing play officially here really solidifies this for me and it just sucker punches you as a player Both deaths lead to the happy satisfied singing of Kubitarou but it doesn't convey the same feeling for Hazuki's and Seiji's death. Hazuki's feels like Kubitauro saying, "I couldn't get what I want so I'm taking away something from you." whereas with Seiji's I feel like I get the feeling more of, "hehe this is what we both wanted for outselves right? for the people we love to come to us?"

Re: that “lack of children in Black Sails” discussion too, there is Abigail Ashe but I feel like even that is very intentional. She’s not really a child anymore, even though everyone in the narrative treats her like one and denies her agency. She *could* represent Peter Ashe’s legacy, but it seems like she actively rejects that and swiftly exits the story after telling him what for. We never hear from her again.

if i write jilypads enemies to lovers (au that takes place in a scifi world, kinda like arcane) james is a cop (boooooooo) sirius is a militant anarchist (woooooooo) and lily is just a normal poor person (awwwww) but idk what ages they should be

like they could all be in their 30s but james is like head cop (?) so it might make more sense for him to be in his 40s, and then lily in her 30s and sirius in his 20s (i think these ages contributes to their world perspectives)

i do think at a certain point delicacy becomes tone policing becomes censorship. but that’s just me

weird question but if joyce marries hopper do you think she will change her last name? because thats not even her own name its lonnie's and it would be weird if she kept her first husband's name when she was married to her second husband

This is such a good question mostly bc my most controversial take is that I don't think they ever get married. Like to me at least Jopper has the vibe of "older couple who spend the rest of their lives together but don't remarry"

So I'm not sure I have the answer. On the one hand, yes I can absolutely see her being Joyce Hopper. But idk something about Byers being the boys name too has me thinking she'd hold onto it. Like she didn't change it back to Maldonado when they divorced and I'm pretty sure it's because of Jonathan and Will. (The Jonathan & Will last name debate is one i don't have energy to speak on tbh)

So maybe it's Byers-Hopper. Or maybe she just doesn't take Hopper's name 🤷‍♀️ I really don't know.

So, trivia! It's implied in the Complete Allspark Almanac that TFA Cyclonus is the future version of Skywarp (yes, really). He's apparently a time-traveler, and fanatically loyal to Galvatron.

Okay, so I have heard this one before! And I do think about it. But I think it would be more interesting if Cyclonus time travels to get away from Galvatron. Alternatively, he time travels with the intent to ensure Megatron becomes Galvatron but changes his mind once getting to the past. (I think it's also mentioned he loses his memories?) I also think it's interesting that they chose the scared, terrified Starscream clone to become the quiet brooding guy, instead of having it be one of the other clones. I kick the idea around in my head sometimes and I do want to use it eventually, I'm just not sure how.

i think today i’m gonna try to work up courage to ask my boss to not put me on cafe anymore and if he refuses i guess i’ll just quit cus i’ve worked like less than a week lol

[msburgundy]

maybe my goal isn't even so much the problem as it's just that i need to be realistic about the pace at which i am trying to move

My desire to make my fanfics into podfics because they’re more accessible and it’s a fun way to engage with my writing vs my dread at the idea of having to read smut outloud

“and I’ll see egypt too” in the banks of the nile makes me insane because the song is supposed to be like oh the woman can’t bear to see her true love go to war and it’ll destroy the family when he dies etc etc but like......... i want to see egypt too! yes theres the “dont go without me” thing but it’s not just that she doesnt want to be left behind by him, it’s that she wants to see what he will see you knowwwww

I decided I wanted to get in on the tournament fun and spent a bit of today setting up a blog

I chose a theme from the default theme place but it's so cute and it fits the vibes,,, this lil window serves no purpose other than I like it <3

I feel like the best way to parallel Bellamy would be like. Him, o, and aurora pretty much staying boarded up, aurora doing what she can, Bellamy getting a job with something probably fedra. O wanting to see the world so Bellamy sneaking her out but surprise Danger. Aurora gets infected and Bellamy either watches someone kill her or has to do it himself.

Maybe they're in KC and it's before infected go underground. Maybe he like everyone else admires Michael and joins the rebel movement instead.

Probably a firefly at some point that feels right.

I am such a big Werewolf Stan advocate I had to jump on this particular train 🙏 (but I didn't really wanna commit to full line art, you guys understand)

Oh, and you guys aren't gonna believe this, but here's part two 🙌
