I've seen some chatter about how Astarion's family and friends might still be around if they're elves, but everyone seems to forget that vampires are evil (in d&d) and while spawn appear to still retain their humanity you're average citizen is going to stab first and ask questions later.

Astarion's family thinks he is dead. If he turns up on their doorstep, it's unlikely that they'll be happy about it.

BUT, for 200 years, he was moving around the same streets as his old family and friends. Did he ever see them in passing? Did he try to find out how they were doing? How much could he wander Baldur's Gate, or did Cazador only let them go so far? Was Cazador aware of where his spawn were at all times so it wasn't worth the risk? Did Astarion just never see them again and forget them? Did he choose to forget them on purpose? He wanted to be saved but was enslaved instead; did he decide it was better for everyone to believe he was dead?

Imagine you're in the world of Transformers. Imagine you woke up randomly in the med bay and you're a giant robot.

You don't know which version of Transformers this is, the movies or the TV series or the comics? You don't know.

But you need to pick a faction and join it right now.

zoro but he comes back from kuraigana with painted nails and eyeshadow because letting perona do his nails and stuff while she rambled on about something or other was oddly relaxing and helped take his mind off of the constant feeling that he should be back with his crew, and after a few days on the sunny he realized he misses it and so he asks nami to do it.

also, usopp is there because you can't tell me that nami and usopp wouldn't sit and gossip together. zoro doesn't say much, but he enjoys the company.

so if solas sees himself in the inquisitor because of how they were made a leader, a prophet and a symbol by people who followed them, just as fen'harel had been made a leader and a saviour for by the freed elven slaves, will he see himself in rook because they're left alone against the threat they can't possibly defeat without singlehandedly making decisions that will impact the world in unknown ways, just as fen'harel had been left alone against evanuris with no other option but to create the veil

The scene where WoTW and Howl were running across the yard might have been so confusing and creepy though the Megan's point of view.

Imagine sitting at home, minding your business, washing dishes or playing in the yard, and suddenly this weird-looking lady, dressed as she just escaped from some kind of really unique and rich troop, wearing a dark, gorgeous, medieval-like dress and high heels, that's almost impossible to buy at the store nowadays just... appears before your eyes.

She stands on the grass, leaning on the swing and you're already reaching for your home phone to call the police because how the hell did she find a way into your house?? Except you didn't have enough time to do it because right after that some kind of weird, physical force starts dragging you to this strange, creepy woman, and you want to tell her to go to hell with her stupid tricks, but you can't.

And you kids, waking right alongside you, cannot do anything, too. You can't all possibly be mad, can you?

An when it starts to get even weirder and unavoidable, your jobless, potential-losing piece of a brother, comes into a scene, jumping through the damn fence, dressed in the same weird-looking costume, as If he escaped the same wery troupe (seriously, If you weren't so worried about your kids and unnatural forces right now, you'd think what would happen If people saw this atrociously long sleeves and eye-burning colours), and just...runs at the mysterious woman right away, dragging away your daughter in some kind of sport-like movement. Your brother and the woman then start running across the yard in the most ridiculous way possible.

The force stops. Your brother and the woman go out of sight. You take your kids into the house and pretend this never, ever happened in your lifes.

You really will do anything to hurt me, won't you? So… what are you and William cooking up? Hmm? Maybe you two brought that supervillain to town.

I will not hear of any criticism of the narrative choice this episode made because I understand narrative parallels. Hope this helps <3

[galadriel-blue]

Why do I feel like if I had to choose and enemies to lovers plot with Galadriel (Since Celeborn isn't here yet) I would choose Adar as the love interest over Sauron?

It's deeply important to me that Loop kind of sucks

how does day of the departed go in the sadnstorm au????

Okay okay so. Cole and Morro fucked off after Possession, and thus weren't present at all for Nadakhan's Season that I Forgot the Name Of. And Cole became a ghost not because of Yang, but because of his own issues and a convenient train. So why are they getting entangled with him?

Well, Cole did work with the ninja for a bit, even if it was technically all a ruse to earn their trust and get the Realm Crystal. And he was with them when they had to enter the Temple of Airjitsu. So Yang knows of Cole.

He gets Cole to the Temple, and then tries to convince him to help in a "get revenge on the ninja who dunked on your boyfriend" way. Cole's more indifferent to the ninja than anything at this point, and would rather go find Morro instead. So Yang pulls out his trump card, and uses the Yin Blade to bewitch Cole and Morro, sending Morro off to the museum and convincing Cole that actually, Morro went to go hang out with Wu and the ninja and not with him. So Cole destroys the globe, the spirits are released, and Yang gets his students to sit Cole down and make him stay so Yang can go open the Rift.

The villains are reawakened and go to fight the ninja, and Morro? He was initially going after Wu for revenge, under the Yin Blade's influence, but when he gets there, he realizes things aren't lining up. Maybe it was the tea Wu was brewing that broke the spell, maybe it was seeing his old home, maybe Morro simply went out of range of the Yin Blade. Regardless, Morro realizes what's going on, and warns Wu as he does in canon.

The rest of the special progresses as it did normally, with the ninja successfully fighting off their respective enemies and converging at the museum. They're not happy to see Morro, and Cole was never a ninja in this AU, so Morro very nearly throws all his pride out the window to beg the ninja for their help. But Wu steps in before that can happen, and the ninja agree that letting Yang go through the Rift is probably not a good idea.

Back to the Temple. Cole's been doing fairly okay, fighting through the effects of the Yin Blade and fighting Yang's students, but by the time he makes it to the roof he's nearing the end of his rope. Yang taunts him, pointing out Morro's absence and—though he doesn't know it exactly, because he doesn't know all of Cole's deeper issues—hitting a much sorer spot. Cole's almost ready to give up (he's no stranger to giving up, is he? Always running away from the hard things, from the difficult things, giving up everything he has because it's somehow easier than enduring through it—)

Enter the Destiny's Bounty. In canon, it couldn't get close enough for the ninja to help because of the winds. In the Spiritshipping AU? Well actually Morro leaps down onto the floating island without a single thought spared to the ninja, leaving them stuck as spectators, but hey! At least Cole's not alone!

"Morro!" Cole gasped, coming back into visibility. "What are you doing?"

Morro blasted three of Yang's students off the roof entirely. "You saved me before, remember?" He knocked another back with a kick, swirling winds building around his shoulders. "Well now it's my turn to save you!"

And boy oh boy, is Morro powerful with the raging winds all around. Yang is fucked. And indeed, Cole shatters the Yin Blade, freeing Yang's students, and they all go through the Rift. Cole and Morro lift off to go through, and Morro makes it through—

What is Cole doing. Why is he just... standing there? IS HE TALKING TO YANG—

As in canon, Cole tries to bring Yang into the Rift with him, because even in this AU Cole is still a kind and empathetic person at heart. But as in canon, Yang grabs Cole and throws him into the Rift just as it closes—leaving everyone to wonder if Cole made it through.

The Bounty is forced to land, and the ninja all disembark to look around, finding Morro standing with Yang's students, worried that Cole is gone forever.

"No, no, NO!" Dust devils scattered across the ground next to Morro, "IDIOT! I went through all that effort for you, and you just—COLE!" He gripped his sword, even more dirt getting swept up by the wind building around him. "You said you'd follow me to the ends of the earth!"

The ninja looked around at each other awkwardly. Morro was their enemy, but he hadn't made any trouble since the Preeminent. It was hard not to feel bad for the guy when his hurt was written across his face, voice raw as he yelled about being lied to.

"You idiot..." Morro growled. "You promised—"

"And I'm not breaking it!" There he was, standing tall, proud, and alive—Cole! He grinned, a brand new scar glinting in the moonlight, and barely a second passed before he had to spread his arms to catch Morro. The ninja felt as though they were intruding on a private scene, witnessing the naked joy on Morro and Cole's faces as they spun around and embraced, grinning like nobody was watching.

And then Cole and Morro make out sloppy style, the end <3

I think TIG's "Silver is trying to win Daniel over" will haunt me forever
