#just really random train of thought

[blue-rose-soul]

My train of thought took me on a journey (cw for gore and eye trauma):

Lol, Lucifer threatening to cut off Alastor's head and cut out his eyes was kind of overkill.

Ooh, what if that was foreshadowing?

Now I hope Alastor gets his eyes sliced out in season 2 (sorry Al, I love you).

The Vees are going to be the main antagonists of season 2.

Vox hypnotizes people via eye contact or when they watch a screen he controls.

Alastor's weaker without his staff; he may be vulnerable to Vox's powers potentially for the first time.

What if Alastor gouges out his own eyes to keep Vox from hypnotizing him!?

What if because of the angelic wound on his chest, there's no guarantee his eyes will regenerate?

Charlie and her crew finding him like this, terrified and wounded.

Alastor lashing out violently, forcing Lucifer to step in to subdue him.

Lucifer watching the trails of blood running down his mangled eye sockets and feeling violently ill.

Aaaaaand that's all I got.

Okay Benrey making a deal with Bill Cipher is actually really fucking funny, though, because even if Benrey's eyes have always been yellow (or hell, even slitted), NO ONE would fall for Bill's bs for even a second. Cuz there is no one like Benrey. Bill is a TERRIBLE actor, man, I do not think he could pull off a Benrey impression if he took a semester on it.

At least with Ford, he just had to stay up late and do math. With Bipper, he had the excuse of Dipper being a kid and everyone being too distracted with the puppet show to really notice. Blendin just had to be anxious-adjacent long enough to get the Rift.

There is NO WAY Bill would be able to pull Benrey's "idgaf" attitude AT ALL. Bill is too expressive for it. He'd walk into a room with too much energy and everyone would be onto him before he even said anything.

Then he opens his mouth and says a moderately normal sentence and it's joever

there is something to be said for the fact that rumours about froi collaborating are apparently fairly widespread. like 1. who snitched. 2. im starting to think that maybe the wider community werent very fond of him

The way Aaron Taylor Johnson was a childhood staple like him in Kick Ass started that white boy crush era I had as a kid. Don’t even get me started with him being the OG James Potter fancast. Recently I watched him in Bullet Train and it was so great, especially seeing all the chemistry he had with Brian Tyree Henry (I adored him in eternals). With that being said, gotta be like the wildest shit appreciating ATJ’s acting and then like just randomly remembering, holy shit he got groomed by a grown ass 42 year old woman when he was seventeen and technically became a parent to three as a teenager😦

the effect of watching kdramas is me coming up with all these crazy ass dramatic scenarios @ SELF PLEASE 😭

Just a thought : I'm really hyped that our flag means death season 2 comes out soon but kinda "scared" because I feel like the ofmd fandom and the good omens fandom are mostly the same people wich was one of the thing I loves about ofmd because the go fandom was kinda "dying out" and like I suddenly saw all those artist start pouring our flag means death fanarts and it was really cool

But since go season 2 came out recently the fandom is still thriving and I hope the ofmd season 2 won't mean that people will just start doing mostly ofmd fanarts and it will stop the momentum of the go fandom a bit faster than last time

And like I love ofmg I'm really hyped for all the fanwork that will come out and like both fandoms are kind of my favs fandoms just from what I've experiences the vibes are just chill and wholesome and really really creative but like I hope we can make both thrive at the same time even if I know it's hard because sometimes just the investment in a new fiction series etc... can make you kinda forget about the previous one for a bit.

Tldr : I hope the ofmd season 2 coming out won't make everyone move on from good omens before they would've if ofmd s2 came out later

i absolutely love your tags on my post about the mysterious woman, it's nice seeing someone who's as passionate about her as me ❤️

Hehehe, thank u, I’m pacing around all happy about it rn (>.< ). I love Simon’s Quest and how genuinely odd everything that happens in it is.

And the Mysterious Woman doesn’t get talked about very much and y’all are missing out!!! She’s so so so fun to speculate about!

I ran into I think it might have been an old conversation on like Gamefaqs or some other comment section somewhere and there were a surprisingly large amount of people in the conversation who said that when the game came out they assumed that she was meant to be Selena, and that’s just aaaaaa so so interesting to me. And it wasn’t just American fans either, there was someone from Japan who assumed the same. It’s so awesome getting to see the perspectives of people who were there when the game was new and this theory has me going nuts sometimes lol. On one hand it makes sense for the ghost woman in the Belmont family graveyard to be someone from the family, but on the other hand is she really “mysterious” anymore if it’s someone Simon would know?

And why did the Mysterious Woman not mention the Tooth of Vlad and only the other five pieces that she knew would partially summon Dracula instead of the intended burning, burying, and breaking of the curse? Especially if she’s meant to be Selena/Simon’s wife or if you interpret her as Sara? Simon’s Quest really went for the twist of having the call to action character and the one to get Simon out of whatever rut he was in for 6 years in the first place be the first person to lie to him. Which is just so!!!! Aaaa!!!!!!!!!!! This also raises the question: is the Mysterious Woman actually a force of good? Or did she just know that Simon was desperate enough to believe what she was saying to him? I’ve seen some people theorize that she was some kind of Dracula cultist or even a possible form of Death because of this.

Or was she completely right that summoning and killing Dracula is the only way to break the curse? After all a lot of other games in the series that revolve around curses end in Dracula being brought back and defeated. But this is also a strange option as usually when Dracula is resurrected it’s by cultists or Death or whoever else and it’s not a good thing and is just for the purpose of having the evil dark lord do evil things. So that would make this game one of the few scenarios in which Dracula’s resurrection is justified which is so weird I just— thinking about Simon’s Quest to hard is gonna kill me one day lol X,,,,,D.

She also says that one line of “within your own heart, you might be able to defeat the evil if you wager your own life” and thinking about that along with the ominous vagueness of the endings all having different eulogies so similar that you could genuinely make an argument for any of them being the canon ending and the fact that almost all of Simon’s symbolism is related to self sacrifice and martyrdom is uh… interesting. Also a lot of people forget that the area around Castlevania is also cursed, not just Simon. The swamps are messed up, the towns get less saturated in color more empty the closer you get to the castle, and there’s monsters everywhere, this wasn’t entirely a selfish endeavor to save himself.

Anyway, the Japanese manual also talks about the Mysterious Woman in specific ways, appearing and disappearing with the mist. And maybe this is a way to keep her as mysterious as possible, but it’s an interesting choice of words. They could’ve said she walked away into the mist, but they specifically said “disappear”, which is an awfully ghostly thing to do. And it’s also weird cause we kinda do see another character suddenly appear out of thin air in a graveyard in who I like to call the Garlic Guy. The Garlic Guy is also massively under appreciated like what the heck is up with that whole interaction 💀💀💀. Go to the graveyard, only at night, and some hooded figure will suddenly begin to exist in front of you if you lay garlic on the ground and then give you a bag. And then like most things it’s completely unexplained and you just have to keep moving on. I’m thoroughly convinced Simon is just as confused as we are lol. And in a way she is also treated the same way as any other NPC: she does something unexplainable and is never mentioned or important again. The way the game is written I swear it’s designed to make you feel anxious and rushed, ya know like a guy who is actively dying would feel.

And the fact that none of this is ever explained is just so ominous. It adds to the tension of the game and themes of not being able to trust anyone. Nobody trusts Simon, Simon can’t determine who’s trustworthy, there’s NPCs that you don’t even get to know who or what they are, sometimes even the hint books aren’t particularly helpful, things happen and you just have to keep going as to not waste any time.

Hopefully any of this makes sense lol I ain’t reading all that again to check cause I gotta go have lunch cause I forgor about it whoops. Anyway I am very normal about Simon’s Quest and every character in it, please everyone play this game it’s good I promise— (;w; )

Edit: oh my god I did not realize how long this ended up oopsie—

Gbavag not knowing enough about/ how to draw your oc is such a curse...

Like you draw them, but it’s not THEM y’know? And the you’re stuck in a loop of “I’m not drawing them because I don’t know how to” and “I won’t know how to draw them unless I practice”

Sometimes just from someone's username you know they would reblog a post that's like omg Trump will do genocide and Harris will do genocide but with emojis and memes!!

And then you see that they did in fact reblog the post and you're like ohhh can we stop pretending this is any kind of leftism.

A Lament from the Youngest Sibling

I don't know how only children do it. My older brother graduates this year and goes off to college. Soon family dinners will just be me and my parents, awkward conversations around an empty-seeming table. He's going to join my sister out in the world and I will be left at home alone. I used to wonder what it'd be like as an only child when I was really young wish I was one. But now I wonder how they do it. How do they be alone without siblings for support. How do they exist without a constant friend and companion. I suppose maybe they never knew or have the experience of siblings but still. I wonder how my sister did it for 2 years before my brother existed. Although siblings don't always get along they are your reliable people and for younger siblings people who have known you your whole life. Sure your parents were there since day one but they will never know the secrets shared late at night or on car rides with siblings. They will never be the first to learn some things, siblings learn first. So, as I go to bed before the first day of the school year that will end with me the only child at home, I wonder how only children do it?

cherry - lana del rey

being a young adult and an avenger at the same time wasn't easy. you wanted to be like others your age... party, stay out late, maybe dance with a random guy you found mildly attractive under the dim nightclub lighting, then bolt when you actually saw his face in the light. hell, you would settle for just shopping or grabbing lunch with your friends, however mundane that sounded.

but, as a full-time avenger, you weren't privy to this lifestyle. the main issue was your schedule. being an avenger isn't exactly a 9–5 job... it's more 24/7. you're meant to always be ready to jump into a mission when needed. with your time mainly consisting of training, meetings, and missions, you didn't exactly have free time.

this didn't stop your friends from pushing, though, and they eventually got through. so, after a few long conversations of begging stark, here you are, stumbling into the elevator of the avengers tower at like 2 in the morning, ever so slightly intoxicated. who can blame you? it was your first night off in a while; of course you took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and got shitfaced. you might regret it during training later that day, but for now, all that mattered was that you had fun with your friends.

you did regret wearing heels, though. you wanted to trade in your boots for something more fun tonight, but god, did your feet hurt. you were also dying to get out of your minidress. considering your wardrobe now reflects your job and only consists of suits and very little casual clothes, you had to borrow this dress from your friend. you were beginning to remember why you never liked to wear dresses even before joining the avengers.

the elevator dinged, and the door opened to the top floor, the avengers' quarters. you dragged yourself out, hair messy, dress slightly hiked up, and feet already blistering. your makeup made it clear you had been sweating on a dancefloor not long ago. you headed to your room when a voice stopped you in your tracks.

"where ya been?"

you turned to the source, shocked to see bucky barnes sitting on the sofa. he was laid back, one arm draped lazily on the backrest, and the other on his knee. he was almost smirking, likely having a good idea of your whereabouts based on your appearance.

you and the winter soldier weren't exactly close. he was a very quiet and reserved guy, usually a man of few words. your interactions mainly consisted of short conversation and sometimes catching him staring at you on the quinjet or in meetings. you never really thought much of it.

but his tone... his expression right now was different. it was weird, but a good weird.

"why're you awake?" you huffed, walking toward the couch.

"couldn't sleep," he stated simply, scanning your form with that smug look on his face. "you have a fun night?" he chuckled to himself a bit.

"yeah, i went out with some friends," you replied, sitting on the couch. you began fiddling with your heels, wanting to go ahead and relieve yourself of the pain. however, the alcohol was messing with your coordination, and you were struggling rather pathetically.

noticing the pout forming on your lips and the clear trouble you were having, bucky snickered, speaking in his gruff voice, "need some help?"

you looked up at him and nodded, still pouting. without a word, he moved a bit closer to you and curled his fingers around your ankles, a soft gasp escaping your lips as he rested them across his lap. you were reclining into the corner of the sofa now, watching him in shock. he hummed as his fingers slipped through the straps of the heels, sliding them off your feet gently. he set them down carefully, his free hand absentmindedly rubbing your calves.

"i've never seen you in anything but your boots," he grinned, turning his head toward you. "so, how much did you drink?" his grin turned into a knowing smirk.

you scoffed, pulling your legs away, drawing your knees to your chest. the short dress wasn’t doing you any favors, and you were probably flashing him, but bucky never looked. he was a gentleman... at least in the ways that mattered. you groaned, rubbing your face sleepily. no point in pretending.

"too much," you muttered.

"yeah, i can tell. you practically stumbled out of the elevator," he chuckled, eyes following your every move.

you let out a half-laugh, sheepish. your head dropped to rest on your knee as you sighed.

"kill me."

"not tonight, doll. i’m off duty."

your head lifted slightly, an eyebrow raising. "did you just call me ‘doll’?" you snickered at the old-fashioned nickname, trying to hide how much it made your heart beat faster.

he smirked, leaning back again with that maddening ease. "i dunno. you kinda look like one."

was he flirting? surely not. he probably saw you as some annoying kid.

"alright, old man. what do you call natasha then? sugar? darling?" you smiled lazily, thinking of more old-timey terms of endearment.

"hell no. she’d break my jaw," he grinned.

"and you think i won’t break your jaw?" you smirked, raising a brow.

bucky scoffed out a laugh. "oh, i'm sure you can, but i don't think you would."

"if i wasn't tipsy, i might've. you're getting off easy this time, grandpa," you giggled, starting to slur your words. your eyelids were beginning to feel heavy, and you found your head resting on your knee again.

bucky laughed at your slurred speech, not sure if it was the alcohol or just exhaustion. "you okay, doll?"

"mhm," you hummed, obviously dozing off.

"alright, i guess i'll babysit the lightweight," he joked, his grin never faltering.

you eventually drifted off, and so did bucky not long after. you both slept better than you had in a while. that was, until you awoke to the stunned faces of the other avengers. they definitely weren't expecting to find you in bucky's arms on the sofa. hell, you weren't expecting it either.

thanks so much for reading <3
