#its so fucking mean-spirited

[1296-very-good-year]

S2 actually doesn't commit to saying Hextech was inherently bad. It's just Jayce + Viktor who were bad.

Heimerdinger, Ekko, and Jayce muse about the possibility that the Arcane itself is an evil corrupting influence. Then they find the anomaly, and Jayce is whisked away to the torment nexus to stew on this possibility. What does he learn there? Let's ask his flashbacks to find out!

He comes to regret kicking Heimerdinger off the council, and his dream of inventing Hextech altogether. It is only after he dismantles his Hextech hammer - and leaves it behind - that he's able to escape the pit.

I have SO MANY problems with this, but I'm going to stick with one here: the omnipotent, all-powerful, timeline-hopping futureViktor is the one leaving Jayce to suffer and learn this lesson.

When a writer (who is all-knowing) creates an all-knowing character, they give themselves the ability to interact directly with their own story and characters. Jayce supposedly needed to learn that Hextech was bad and was always going to go bad. He is forcibly, tortuously taught by the writers that his dream was wrong from the start.

Sounds pretty cut and dry, right? Hextech is bad. HOWEVER:

At the same time, in the same episode that Jayce is learning this, Heimerdinger enjoys 3 years of peace in a Good AU where he learns that actually magic is okay sometimes, and helps Ekko invent a Hextech device that saves the day. Maybe he should have been a more supportive teacher to Jayce after all!

And yet... Jayce is NEVER corrected on his assumption that s1 Heimerdinger was right. He goes off on his suicidal mission fully believing it, and he dies believing it.

There exists no timeline in which Jayce and Viktor are able to get their shit together without ending the world. It wasn't Hextech = bad. It was Jayce + Viktor = bad.

Maybe Hextech is just fine. As long as someone else invents it.

Regarding Colm's pony - every shitty parent looking to get rid of a pony I've been aware of has just sold the pony without warning the kid. If mom is financially-minded, horse body disposal costs money, and even shipping to a downmarket auction will at least pay for the petrol. HOWEVER, what I keep rotating for drama: there is a "murdered for insurance money" option, depending on the value of the pony (a little light fraud may have been involved) - this was definitely a thing around the 70s-80s in the states, but it tended to come out years later, after the statue of limitations on animal cruelty ran out and the people doing the horse wetwork came clean. In this case, maybe the vet who signed off on an accidental death for the horse insurance company admitted misgivings to one of the boys as adults, one random day they happened to see each other, but no one other than mom really knows?

(In reference to the probable fate of the childhood pony of Killie the Jockey OC and his siblings)

Oh my GOD you can’t just SAY THINGS like —

Oh that pony is DEAD-dead. Maximise the drama. Rotate that sod like a rotisserie chicken. You’re good at this.

Meeting Y/N for the first time!

(imagine ur sebastian haha)

(Y/N uses they/them)

(THIS IS A PARODY!)

There Y/N was, at the makeup counter. They had been working there for a seasonal job. Yeah, malls are dying a tragic and brutal death but money is money. They barely knew how to use makeup outside of a couple of videos that would pop up on their favorite apps while they searched endlessly for something to do when they're supposed to be doing something actually important (cough). They look over and see a beautiful red-haired woman, her chartreuse eyes glazing over the most expensive thing in the counter. God, Y/N just HAD to talk to her, she was too gorgeous not to! Also their manager was so up their ass about "not talking to customers" and "spending too much time on that damn phone" despite the mall being empty except for the odd mall goths and maybe a birthday party about to ruin a minimum-wage worker's life for a little bit. Not their problem! They walked up to her and smiled.

"Hi there, is there anything I can help you with, miss?"

They asked with a bright smile on their face. She gave them one look before just shaking her head no and going back to what she was doing. Maybe she's just a cute shy girl! They waited for a response

"..."

She was ignoring Y/N

"Oh! So you're looking for foundation, right? The ABH concealer may work well for you? Concealer and foundation are the same thing, anyway." The woman looked at Y/N like they were insane for saying that, though they couldn't help themselves "…I wish I could learn how to do makeup as well as you can… You really know what you're doing!"

The woman was annoyed with them after showing their CLEAR lack of makeup knowledge and being in HER space while she was trying to shoplift shop! It was time to get rid of them for good.

"Maybe that would work for you... And I KNOW! So many wish they could do their face as well as me but a lady never tells her secrets!" Y/N slumped a little bit, she sighed. "Listen, darling. I could!" Y/N's face lit up. "I really wish I could! …But I only do charity-work once a year. Now get out of my sight. You might be one of those cases beyond fixing! Buh-bye!"

She waved them off. Wow… Y/N walked back behind the counter in pitiful defeat. Of course, it was risky to shoot their shot like that but that was worse than a "no". They watched as she "sneakily" shoved foundation, eyeliner, and other beauty products into her purse. Normally, they would try to stop her but they got the memo this time.

They just needed to try again!

wxs and arm wrestling part one: nene

tsukasa vs nene- hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby. tsukasa will express surprise at her strength while she struggles to get his arm to budge 💀 the worst part is that he's genuine, he didn't expect to put effort in LMAO. he boasts 'even with more training, ofc u cant beat me 😏', then proceeds to prolong the match by keeping his arm still. she gets so miffed and tries even harder LMAO. she doesn't win though bc tsukasa gets tired and ends it faster than she can process. he brags at the end despite doing nothing

emu vs nene - hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby part 2. emu cheerily confirms that nene did get stronger, and there's only a brief struggle before she pins nene's arm down. she's very encouraging that she hopes nene gets big and buff!!!

rui vs nene- hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby part 3. nene feels like she's pushing against steel. she gets to look as he leans his annoyingly smug face on his other hand, barely breaking out a sweat. he's a mix of emu's genuine encouraging words and tsukasa's irritating lack of response. he wins after she goes 'just end it 😒'

nene's like 'idk what you guys expected....' and sits off to the side. she finds that she enjoys watching the other three arm wrestle rather than doing it herself

The thing is Justified... I know a lot of peeps like it but its not really my jam, but holy hell does Walton steal every scene he's in! Timothy Olyphant is great too, but even if I didn't know how amazing Walton is already as an actor, he really does capture your attention from the off. So that's why I've started watching it anyways 😅

Its also so funny to me Boyd Crowder's supposed to be this big bad antagonist from the off, but so far (as I've watched) what he's done is appear very receptive to Raylan's presence and requests and bascially winds him up a lot! Every time Boyd's showed up in recent eps i've watched he's been like "Raylan, let me bring up your trauma for a second. Do you want to talk about your daddy issues?"

Whilst Raylan shuts him down quickly and Boyd is just like "hmm, do you think your repressing of your emotions is boiling up into a rage and that's why ur so trigger happy, babe? Maybe u should do something about that..." - it's great haha ^^

If spirit and mask get stuck in warriors' hyrule forever, is it forever-forever, or do they get to go home after lu? Both options seem sad, but I'm trying to image them going home after giving up on the possibility and trying to build a new life, and I am making myself sad

I was thinking forever-forever.

That idea started because I was imagining a scenario where the Chain (CTB chain or this AU chain) ended up in this version of Warriors's era and meet Warriors, Spirit, and Mask (specifically, I was imagining them showing up in the middle of one of Spirit's abductions). So it would need to be in the present day, which would mean they would have to stay.

And yeah, it is sad. Mask would take it as a sign that the universe is out to ruin his life, but he would eventually cope with his lot in life. This mean he would be about 15 years old in the present day. Warriors is trying to force him to go to school and at least be literate before running off again. He is also subtly trying to push him into formally becoming a squire in the Knights of Hyrule with Linkle so that someone (Lincoln) can keep an eye on him.

Oh yeah. If they end up staying, they get their house in Castle Town. It's a town house that is in a nice part of town, but not aristocratic. Firmly middle class. I have a lot of ideas about how Warriors can afford this, but I won't go too deep into his finances. Just know that he has a job in the Royal Guard still, has a hefty pension, some money from the Waltons, and some debt to Impa. He wants to transition out of the Royal Guard and into government work, but he's meeting some resistance. He's calmed down a lot, and his ambition is solely motivated by a desire to make his family comfortable.

Spirit, though... Spirit becomes depressed. He always thought he would go home. And to suddenly lose that life line-- he's crushed. But Spirit is Spirit, and he is the only one making trains in this era. So he throws himself into his work and becomes a massive workaholic. With Ganondorf as his secret investor, he's very successful and is actually making bank.

But with Spirit and Mask stuck in this era, Warriors's fear that he would be abandoned vanishes. They'll be here forever. He'll be okay. So he pulls back significantly and starts tending to other things. This would make Spirit super insecure. He only has Warriors and Mask left, and now Warriors is pulling back? Absolutely not.

So Spirit becomes way more clingy/codependent on Warriors as a weird coping mechanism. He needs therapy, but of course, that won't happen any time soon.
