i was thinking a lot about takenaka mob psycho and i keep laughing because in many ways he is like cpurpled. like obviously unlike cpurp takenaka is able to overcome his vulnerability allergy and gains actual human connections bc of it. but also i still am laughing about the idea of cpurpled with telepathy. it would make her so much worse in every way. i think it should be real i think it should happen

las nevadas would’ve been a lot shorter of an arc i think

someone tell me to stop using the terms "giggling" and "crazy right" because I'm becoming increasingly aware of how much i use them

//Do you ever wonder what Barry's life would have been like if he had Malcolm had been raised with his family? As an Allen. As Barry's brother. Like what would Barry's life be like then? What would Malcolm's life be like? How would that have changed their futures? The universe as a whole?

I think there should be canon alternate universes where this happens. I wanna see what could be done if Malcolm had been raised as an Allen. I wanna see what Barry's life would have been like. How the Flash legacy might have changed? The Thawne lineage? That might not exist at all if Malcolm never develops a hatred for Barry. (Bart still might though with his perpetual paradoxical existence.) Also what about the existence of Don and Dawn and their history? Would he have had the chance to raise his kids in the 20th-21st century? Would Don and Dawn been alive longer in the 20th-21st century?

There's just a lot of details that could be thrown up into the air by shifting the course of both Barry and Malcolm's lives in this one little way.

Do you guys remember SIX+ YEARS AGO when I had Solas say for the first time that Creation was the highest form of ambition, in his opinion????

SO THATS WHERE THE BREEDING KINK COMES FROM.

the thing about barton and his own 'foil' as she should technically be considered, as she is technically the complete opposite of him in every way that matters, is that sumire [ whom i have talked about a few times on here, albeit briefly, so i will give you a brief refresher on her and that is that... her character eventually commits these killings based on the twelve main tarot cards in a deck based on them not fitting her idea of what 'perfect' looks like (kind of like barton BUT much different at the same time) ] and barton used to know each other as they were best friends as kids — even if it was only for a few years.

and as strange as this may sound, a broken promise between them was partially the catalyst behind what started her descent into feeling this need to 'judge' people, which is quite the coincidence as it may seem. because where do most of her victims end up dying? in these settings where she has set up these 'mock trials' for people. so, i know that i said i would talk about how barton had inadvertently created a monster a longgg time ago, but i now am sharing it with you all. because although one cannot blame barton fully for her actions as sumire, of course, has to take responsibility for them herself; but this did play a part in being a catalyst for her feeling all of this resentment and hatred for the world / people around her that led up to her first murder.

which, as you might have it, was the chariot: a tarot card that symbolizes revenge, willpower, and essentially tries to subconsciously put off this message that you are moving in the 'right direction.' i don't think it's so much just the promise itself though that makes this important — it's also that barton himself essentially forgot about the promise he made to sumire, as terrible as that may sound. it actually kind of gives you more insight as to what was going on in barton's mind as a kid because he basically made sumire promise him this: that, if he ever got on the 'wrong path,' that sumire would be there to show him a better one. and that she would attempt to reconnect with him if they ever got separated somehow / give him a sign of some kind that she was still there, so he could meet her.

and i say that this provides more insight because i haven't really gone into depth about this, but barton has expressed this idea in one roleplay on here. + that is that he didn't want to end up like this. however, regardless of that statement, there is no washing away of all of the heinous things he's done and he chose to do them anyway. i'm just thinking about how messed up it is that sumire, up until the point where she started her murders, had casually been searching for barton because the way in which his victims were found was vaguely remiscent of the way that wesley used to kill his victims. + this meant that he was definitely on the wrong path and she would eventually end up on the wrong one too.

Are you sure you want to do this?

█████, did you forget how much we spent working on this? We can’t afford to quit now.

Yes, sir, I was just checking up with you. This just has... ramifications, if it goes wrong. We have the power of an entire neutron star in a small machine.

And we’ll need that power for ███████. Only with this we can bring him to our plane.

I’m not protesting, sir, but all of that power in a mortal body could be dangerous, even to ███████ himself-

███████ knows their ways. If this doesn’t work, then everything we’ve been working on is a lie, which is impossible. I’ve talked to them myself. This has to work. Continue.

...Yes, sir. Bring in the neutron.

(the neutron entered the room happy, carried by two photons. they were excited.)

Enter the machine, and sit still in the chair.

Yes, sir! 

I understand your enthusiasm, ████, I have it too, but there’s no need to shout. Start the machine, █████.

Understood. (they made the machine power on, whirring with anger.) I’m getting... mixed signals from this. Some settings might be wrong, I can shut it down, we can have a second chance-

And what happens when the police find the electricity bill? How many electrons we’ve practically destroyed to make this? There is no second chance. Keep going.

(the machine began whirring louder and higher. █████ prayed that their god was enough to keep them safe after all of this was over.) The machine will be ready in 10 seconds. 8 seconds. (as the photon counted down, the neutron was beginning to get... anxious. What was this? Sacrilege? No. They had to think good thoughts, good happy not mean thoughts that wont hurt anyone-) Now. (the room in the machine became pure white with electricity.) It’s not supposed to do that-

This, will work. Calm dow- (the machine started sounding like lightning bolts crashing, and the room turned the slightest bit... green?)

S-Sir, we need to evacuate. (the guards started to step back from the machine, a few running away.) This isn’t safe! We failed!

We did not fail. There is no way we could- 

(a deafening bang. the facility and everything near it was converted into some strange, green substance. from the middle of the decay, a voice could be heard.)

H-hello?

Having vivid dreams is so odd at times because I remember a few days ago I had a dream where Arcane had a different ending.

Most of it is fuzzy but I specifically recall even after Jayce said "we finish this together" Viktor still pushed him away and forced him out - deeming that Jayce deserved to go on in inspite of Jayce's protests, thus he comes back alive. Obviously completely devastated afterwards he's in an almost catatonic state and no one could get through to him. Due to this everything else proceeded as the original (Mel to Noxus, Catvi final conversation), until one moment where Jayce remembers Viktor saying "in the pursuit of great we failed to do good" and then he just gets up and walks to Ximena's house and the final shot we see of him is of his back as he just begins to crumple in her arms as they hug.

I then remember opening TikTok and seeing an edit of the two of them to "From now on" from the greatest showman with that scene being under the line "But when I stop an see you here, I remember who all this was for".

All this to say is I was hit with severe emotional damage and have not stopped thinking about that dream. I now I need an edit of them to that song.

something i think new writers forget is that you can't break the rules if you haven't mastered them yet. it may seem boring or cliche to adhere to a standard that may be uncomfortable (from a purely technical perspective), but it helps you see who you are as a writer in contrast. so you know which rules to break to better reflect yourself. so you know what tools you've gathered to express your ideas in a way that aligns with your purpose.

all words have utility, but putting them together meaningfully is fucking hard work.

Fellas. What if I just. Replied to shit completely out of order? How would we feel abt that?

(I'm still having blockage of the writer's variety... but I want to try to respond to things. So badly. But also my inherent desire to be as chronological as possible...... sgchdhhdjcshdj)

i rarely post ooc on here but here's my long winded rambling about something that i keep seeing in regards to the show. like i've seen these different takes that somehow in the show mat's been given more layers and depth. but like i can't see where or how tbh all the show's given me so far is

his "gritty" backstory. supposedly to "explain" why he's the way he is. even though in the show he's not at all the way he is supposed to be ---

his disloyalty. abandoning his friends to possible death, abandoning egwene in the tower. they took one of his biggest driving points and just erased it entirely. this is not the mat that chased an assassin all the way to tear to save the wondergirls. this is not the mat that turned back towards a literal war when he had never fought in one before.

his innate darkness that drew him to the dagger. no mat couldn't just want gold, he couldn't even be greedy. he needs to have a darkness that made moiraine so sure he'd choose the dark. and apparently ishamael saying he belonged to him since birth ? like uhm did i hear that right?

these are literally the only traits he's been given. -- how does one do a more complex mat than the one robert jordan wrote anyways? he's confusing af - no one understands what's going on with him not even himself. like i always see sando getting flack about how he wrote mat. like he did better than anything the shows done so far tbh.

but this leads me to the whole 'the show did it better than the books' or that "the show fixed things" about every single little or major change that the show makes.  like prefer one over the other, love one hate the other. cool nbd. but -- i've never seen the source material of an adaptation so -- idk hated by the fandom? it confuses me how much flack robert jordan gets for writing a certain thing or a certain character but the show gets praised for a basically hollowed out poorly done adaptation. like i can enjoy the show, there are good things ( hello josha ) and there are bad ( the over the top age drops of the aes sedai. alanna's lowkey creepy with much young warders - they do know they don't get the same life span right? - and moiraine didn't give up her life for the search for the dragon. how long did she live before his birth ?? etc etc ). but i don't know how one could "understand" the characters or world better than the person that wrote it. i don't get how anyone could be interested in a world or characters from a book series that they seemingly hate ? by an author they basically hate, too? that's just my take i guess. i for one love the books. so ---

i'll go crawl back into my corner now ---

This was so sillyksks. The fact that despite all of the horrible things that had been happening around them (this is nothing new for Chaldea/ servants in general of course) and the potential threats of phantasmal beasts gaining intelligence to take over the world, was just as important to Arjuna as being worked up over Karna wearing gaudy sunglasses instead of your standard eyeglasses…

just finished the epilogue from re: dracula and i'm just..... do you think they ever think about renfield? :( does mina ever remember what he sacrificed for her? does jack ever look back with shame at how he treated him, dismissed him? the final note has that bit about little quincey's names tying together all the group and how someday they'll tell him the full story of how so many men risked it all to save his mother... do you think renfield ever figures in that? does his name get remembered? or is his part in the story lost?

[mad-hunts]

okay, but just hear me out here while i describe another date idea for those muses with barton romantically. they spend the day at the ice rink because he finds out that they have either no experience or very little experience with ice-skating + he decides that he wants to teach them how to skate; so, they go through the day without even realizing how late it's gotten and that it's almost closing time.

BUT barton sees an opportunity and pretty much bribes the person running the rink (nicely LOL) to let them stay an hour or so more past closing time. and he does this before returning to your muse, being like 'you know... i might've the guy running this place to let us stay a little longer, so how about we try something more complicated?' and barton just kind of eases them into couples ice-skating with him with some music in the background + i just... GAHHH.

the way that he would make sure they wouldn't fall just like yves did for him so long ago is so 😭 plus, it being basically like slow-dancing, but in longer steps because they're sliding across the ice? and once their hour is up, barton just kind of rising them up + spinning them?? i am officially DEAD (but in a good way jsjsj LOL)

The funniest part is that Olympia really doesn't know what she's doing. The fact she's pulling off that outfit so well is solely because it's her, y'know? You look at that outfit and think 'Yeah, that's Olympia'. If you asked her for advice, she'd have no fuckin' clue where to start.
