#immortality discourse

[jonnestt]

How do people say "no, I don't want to see civilizations fall and rise again"? How, when given the chance to see creation unfurl with their very eyes, to see friends be born and die, how do they say no?

Life, beyond the mortal, is so, so beautiful. This would strip away the hapless, momentary pains and leave you with only those which, in their timeless melancholy, unfold a tapestry of somber blues. And all the treasured days, while, yes, now brief against your ancient catacombs of paths yet taken, remains for you to see. Every love of futures vast, every wisdom lost in time so deep, every moment not yet lived can be achieved. You would drown in time itself to see the distant stars beyond the veil of mortal life.

Does eternity not outweigh the comfort of deaths scythe, freshly sharpened at your neck to at long last catch you when you can't but rest?

You immediately stop aging and become immune to disease and mortal injury. no secret "catch." it is permanent.

99% of tomarrymort antis are so hilarious like whenever theyre complaining about how ""bad"" and ""immoral"" the ship is, they always point to the age difference and not... the murders😭😭😭 Tom literally murders Harrys parents and orphans him, attempts to murder everyone he knows then tries to take over the wizarding world all while ALSO attempting to murder him— so I feel like there's a very more obvious pressing issue here then their unrealistic age gap😭😭😭It's like those ppl complaining about hannigram and making top 10 lists about how problematic it is yet the fact that Hannibal is a cannibal and murderer never made it onto the lists😭😭😭

the notion that queer men can be flamboyantly theatrical, perform in drag, even occasionally refer to themselves with female pronouns, and nevertheless willfully uphold and enforce patriarchal norms, would have been a well worn complaint in any given 1970s lesbian collective, and yet

The age gap is NOT the worst thing about Billford

Besides being a fan of character X reader, is there any other Invincible ships you like? Like, Mark X Eve, Mark X Rex, Monster Girl X Rudy, Cecil X Donald, Cecil X Debbie, Nolan X Allen?

I’m a passive shipper, I guess? I don’t care for Rae X Rex purely for plot reasons, it’s a drag on the pacing and I wish Rex just. Had female friends? Or any friends?

I wasn’t aware Cecil X Debbie OR Nolan X Allen were things until just now, and uh fuck yeah sure why not absolutely. They sound like they have interesting dynamics im on board

My biggest hot take is I don’t care for Eve x Mark RIGHT NOW. I fear their relationship is watering down the things I love most about each of them. Idk why but Eve’s character takes a backseat when she’s supporting Mark. I can feeeeeeel her becoming a supporting character and not one of the main cast like ugh fuck me iove Eve so much I cannot see her be relegated to the girlfriend role- even if she’s a kickass girlfriend

That being said, their date montage was cute.

I want Amanda X Rudy because I’m selfish and want them to be happy and I just want good things to happen to them. No deeper meaning the heart wants what the heart wants.

I can’t back Donald X Cecil solely because I kinda hate the “right hand man” dynamic. It. I get Hamilton war flashbacks to Hamilton X Aaron Burr? I’m sorry that’s solely a me issue I don’t mind if you ship it

Rex X Mark is silly or wtv, it gives Mark something interesting to do but it begs the question: is he coming out as gay/queer? I refuse to believe William didn’t know before Mark did. Fine! Present me the queer Mark agenda, I’m all for it! But you HAVE to give me “William snobbishly pulling an ‘I knew all along’l shtick or else I don’t care much. Rex reminds me of Alex from sdv in this regard, evil gay men rights ftw

That being said, I’m not terribly into writing for ships UNLESS a compelling ship and prompt is delivered to me. Don’t be afraid to request a ship, but don’t be surprised if I don’t do it.

Bonus: my favorite crackship/rare pair is D.A. Sinclair x Darkwing II. They seem about the same age and I think it would be hilarious. Chaotic neutral X Lawful Evil ftw

may I present to you:

The Camelot Polycule

Arthur/Gwen (committed, married, romantic and sexual, "with all my heart")

Arthur/Merlin (committed qpr, depending on the day my headcanon is either romantic and sexual OR one-sided merlin in love with arthur OR completely platonic, literal soulmates either way, unfortunately also totally co-dependent)

Merlin/Gwen (qpr besties, they would never abandon each other! are they romantic? who knows, not them)

Merlin/Arthur/Gwen (yes, i'm listing this seperately, absolute ot3)

Gwen/Lancelot (committed, romantic and sexual, there will never be any competition between lancelot and arthur, they would both die for her, it's what she deserves!) (cheating subplot, what cheating subplot? i don't know her)

Gwen/Morgana (qpr, they loved each other so much, romantic, maybe sexual? friends to lovers to enemies-with-complicated-feelings)

Morgana/Merlin (somehow exes without ever actually having been in a relationship)

Merlin/Gwaine (is it a friends with benefits situation or is it romantic? yes)

Merlin/Lancelot (they have such a special and wholesome semi-romantic relationship, maybe sexual in the beginning, but quickly decided it was not for them)

Merlin/Freya (was it puppy love? is merlin married to a literal goddess? nobody has ever asked him)

Gwaine/Percival (committed, romantic and sexual, this is fanon right?)

Leon aro-ace king (maybe marries gwen after arthur's death?)

Merlin/Leon (the immortal qpr, can act like brothers, an old married couple, a long distance relationship and exes in the span of one phone call)

miss when "morally gray character" meant that the character did morally gray actions and not "well the people they're victimizing deserved to be victimized actually" 😔

there are no morally gray characters. its all black and white here. and of course our ladle is the whitest one of them all! just look at her hair

[frankenjoly]

maybe it is bcs i'm already a fandom veteran (approaching 30, been here for +10 years) but "kids these days" care too much about canon lkdjslk we're all playing with dolls chill out

same with stuff that's deemed as problematic

[madaei]

ngghhhhhh im a thirsty little flower….. need someone to talk to me about immortal days by hgg or ill DIE.

[owlbats]

What's that? You love female characters and you've got one in your fanfic? Oh, she's acting as a mother figure to the children of the group, despite her not being motherly in canon, with her (brief) appearance having nothing to do with kids or teaching? You don't say.

[innsjovide]

huge pet peeve of mine is if you kill off a beloved character in fanworks (or like. actual works if its the canon story) or even suggest it, no matter what narrative significance this might have on the story being told, you'll suddenly be flooded by a billion people being like 'NO U CANT KILL THEM THEYRE IMMORTAL THEYLL LIVE FOREVER THIS IS WRONG'

[kingsragesqueal]

oh my god are we seriously age discoursing with characters who are immortal and ageless now

like yeah ozzie is thousands of years old but fizz is like....in his 30s lmao pretty sure their healthy as shit, consensual relationship is perfectly okay

[myrioll]

Oggi ho commesso l'errore di andarmi a cercare The old guard su fanlore. Ovviamente ho cercato Nicky e poi la coppia JoeNicky. Ed ecco che, blast from the past, tutto mi è tornato addosso come una valanga 😅
