me: and while megamind and the spiderverse franchise are both excellent genre-aware superhero movies, megamind provides a subversion, almost a parody, on superhero tropes, while spiderverse is primarily a love-letter meta commentary on the genre. now things get really interesting when you consider both movies' position to the big MCU boom of the 2010s-- cashier: sir you are holding up the line

My fingers closed on the fingers of a little, ice-cold hand! The intense horror of nightmare came over me: I tried to draw back my arm, but the hand clung to it, and a most melancholy voice sobbed, 'Let me in—let me in!' 'Who are you?' I asked, struggling, meanwhile, to disengage myself. 'Catherine Linton,' it replied, shiveringly (...), 'I'm come home: I'd lost my way on the moor!' As it spoke, I discerned, obscurely, a child's face looking through the window. Terror made me cruel; and, finding it useless to attempt shaking the creature off, I pulled its wrist on to the broken pane, and rubbed it to and fro till the blood ran down and soaked the bedclothes: still it wailed, 'Let me in!' and maintained its tenacious gripe, almost maddening me with fear. ──────────────────────────── He got on to the bed, and wrenched open the lattice, bursting, as he pulled at it, into an uncontrollable passion of tears. 'Come in! come in!' he sobbed. 'Cathy, do come. Oh, do—ONCE more! Oh! my heart's darling! hear me THIS time, Catherine, at last!'

Okay but what if Jason wasnt a bad boyfriend.

What if he really did love Chrissy, but not in the girlfriend kind of way, but in the "I'll protect you" kind of way.

He was clearly deeply hurt by her death, so much so that he went on a full scale man hunt and riled up a mob, those arent the actions of a bad, abusive boyfriend that i keep seeing him potrayed as.

We know Chrissy had an eating disorder thanks to her mothers criticisms and her father refusing to stand up and protect her, but i often see Jason being lumped in with that too, like he's always critical of her, telling her what to wear or what to eat or something when really all we've seen of him is him telling her he loves her and looking at her like she hung the stars in the sky, and him being truly devestated, completely and utterly mentally broken by her death.

yeah, Chrissy didn't tell him about the hallucinations, but did she have time to?

we know after someone starts seeing things like the clock or horrible monsters, you havent got long left, you havent even got 24 hours, he's coming for you and soon, and she thought she could just fix it with a damn good nap, so she went to the drug dealer cause how would her squeaky clean sportsman boyfriend help her get a good nap? Drugs would do that just fine, right?

but even better, Chrissy has highkey LGBT vibes, what if Jason was more of a cover and less of a boyfriend. He loved her so much, grew up with her, and being with him kept her safe from people figuring her out, sometimes her mother would even chill the fuck out if he was there, he kept her as safe as he could, until one day... he couldn't. And she was gone.

Jason could be so much more than the shit boyfriend u guys!

@rcguish asked: [ sms ] i am pleased to report that i've once again fallen victim to drinking paint water instead of my coffee.

Blue almost snorts into her own cup of tea when she reads Silver's text.

[ 📲 • sms ⇢ Silver ] great, we can add that to the list of weird things you enjoy drinking :3c

Somehow, the paint water feels less cursed than the pickle juice.

[ 📲 • sms ⇢ Silver ] jokes aside, what are you working on?

Data Archives Information on CAELUS one of the NAMELESS upon the Astral Express, as recounted by a dear companion.

dnd!Fundy is a fox shifter who was once a prince of the L'Manberg Kingdom, but after suffering neglect and not feeling like he's good enough for his father, he abandoned the Kingdom and decided to live in the Kingdom of Las Nevadas instead. He works in one of the big shops by giving people quests as well as concocting interesting potions. As well as that, he is experienced in being a ranger and does his best to hunt from time to time :)

Fundy is the first person Cala sees when she arrives in the kingdom and he immediately puts her to work, seeing she has potential. While she's doing numerous quests for him they get close! He shows her all around the Kingdom and introduces her to his colleagues (Purpled and Foolish) and she fits in perfectly.

Things are different though one day when she barges into his shop, looking exasperated and demanding that she needs to talk to him in private. That's when she tells him about the prison and how she needs potions to help him. Fundy immediately panics and he tries to convince her that it's a bad idea and explains how the man locked up is the reason why this world is fucked up in the first place-- and he knows from experience. But that doesn't stopn her from trying and he ultimately has to shut her down. But-- he does feel bad about it and feels wary on how he's being treated, so he goes to one of the guards that he somewhat trusts to talk to her; a tiefling named Halo.

He finds out that she broke Dream out right after the news breaks, and he's honestly terrified for her since he knows that there's a chance she might get hurt or worse. And his fears come to reality when he is tasked to hunt her and Dream down and do whatever it takes to bring her back. He manages to find the two and he's... hesitant on actually striking her. She doesn't notice him but Dream is instantly on guard since he feels something is wrong. And when he reveals himself, Dream is instantly about to attack but Cala is overjoyed! She sees a friend! And that's when he hesitates and stops himself since he sees that innocent look-- that unknowing look of her not realizing why he's here. And she invites him to stay for the night in their camp and at least tag along for a bit.

He eventually does, but he tries his best to keep why he's actually there to a minimum so she wont find out.

But Dream knows.

He knows all too well why he's there.

A gentle, yet affectionate poke touches his back to draw his attention to her. Delicate fingers dig slightly on the small and ornamented chocolate bag behind her back. Roseate lips beam in a smile when his attention is to her, and so she presents him with the teal chocolate bag for him to take. "Here!" Aquamarine irises look intently at him with the weight of expectation carrying her Lotuslight eyes as she insists with her hands that she takes the bag.

"It wasn't too long since I started liking chocolates, but as you see..." Bashful she scratches a bit the side of her face, rose hues blooming on her cheeks. "I have to keep my silhouette in order to follow my dream in full. Would you like to eat them together?"

Never has he been more thankful to be reaching the ends of a successful negotiation, a new ally gained in one of his many smaller journeys within Sumeru. ..That said, once feeling that poke, the blonde was certain the twinkle within his new associate's eye was immediately confirmed to be damnable as that hidden smirk shows that all the dots were being connected within the blink of an eye.

"I think this signifies a time we can conclude our current dealings, Mr.Fixer, how about you pay mind to what's truly important here?" The merchant lifts an amused brow, clearly intrigued by this new note of information, all the same, happy to see some liveliness within Sumeru's struggling atmosphere.

"Right." Thoma agrees, shifting his stance to the side, clearly more invested in letting his time and focus melt towards the Lotuslight. "Until the next time."

Next time. Any silver tongued remarks found themselves immediately diluted and dissolved the instant she came into the picture. Just catching that measure of scarlet from the corner of his eyes had him turning around fully, caring little about the merchant's departure and focusing wholly on the lovely soul who managed to whisk him away with so little effort. Somehow, what he reveals upon his features now feels so distinctly genuine now that he's out of business mode, settled on the grounds where he wants his true self to be seen.

That happens to always be the case when Nilou is brought into the equation.

"And a good afternoon to you!" He notes with that same fuzzy warmth in his tone, committed solely to her before a lovely surprise is unveiled by her burst of courage. Anything that was about to be added found itself dying upon his lips, happily relenting in order to drink in the view of that presented bag of morsels that denotes a particular holiday to the many lovebirds within Teyvat.

"This is--!" Its difficult to stop that excitement from leaping too clearly from his throat, a failed effort he'll simply live with like many energized instances she imbued into him. The offer dances upon honeyed words that creates a suggestion, and in truth, the thought causes him to bask within that fondness as his hands reach forth, one cradling underneath the back of her's, another positioning a brushing touch along the bag of chocolates in itself.

An amused brow draws up at the presented reasoning. "And what if I were to tell you, that I'd love to share these, doubly so, considering the particular holiday you managed to secure these?" The playfulness melts into a loving heat as he brings her hand closer, drawing a soft kiss upon one of the dancer's fingertips.

"Happy Valentines day, Nilou, let's get to our familiar spot and try these properly."
