Scenes from The Baby Wars Part One: The First One

[Hibrides never wanted to be a mother (though the concept of childbearing has always occurred to her as 'inevitable and necessary'), underwent very severe post-partum depression, never really bonded with the infant, and was extremely uncomfortable with nursing her (they had a wet nurse who covered most of it).

Brakul ended up being the Designated Housewife throughout Erubi's infancy and was effectively the only member of the household providing parental care, was Extremely bitter with Hibrides for not really wanting anything to do with her daughter (among other things), and was raised in a context where fathers allowing their infants to comfort nurse on them is a standard practice (which is not widely conceptualized as a Thing men can do in the Wardi cultural sphere and comes off as bizarre to the rest of his household).

These combined factors lead to tense standoffs where he looms behind Hibrides trying to guilt her into Feeding The GodDamn Baby while looking, from her perspective, like he's trying his absolute hardest to breastfeed.]

what's so interesting is that agatha and nicky clearly had their cons well-oiled, and at the end it seems they even started turning their song into a part of it as well, like i don't think that was the first time nicky sang that song for an audience and they used it to lure witches (i do think it's the first time that it /technically/ didn't work), and how after nicky died it continued to gain popularity and be so well-known it became a legend, and along with that agatha being known as the only survivor of the road and people (like billy) seeking her out to walk it or just for knowledge of it. and i think that had been the idea when they first started using it as a con. making it so they no longer had to travel and scavenge, using it as a lure to bring the witches to them in order to keep nicky alive, but only one small misstep and rio got him anyway

and then thinking about how lorna, who had a generational curse placed upon her family that is going to kill both her and her daughter and who desperately wants to see her daughter survive, heard this song and created her own version to use as a protection spell for her daughter and, like agatha did before her, she made her version so well-known and so popular that years and years after death it's still protecting her daughter, until ultimately her daughter was finally able to use it to break the curse and save herself

idk just.. they're like two sides of the same coin, or distorted mirrors of each other

agathas love was so powerful and so strong that death gave nicky time

lornas love was so powerful and so strong that the ballad gave alice time and even freed her

if nicky hadnt been taken that night, could it have eventually freed him as well? rio said agatha used the dark magic of the darkhold to hide herself from rio, so was that the end goal? they'd continue to lure witches to both keep nicky alive and to have agatha become powerful enough to forever keep them hidden?

oh my god.

ozpin tells team strq his "great and terrible secret" (but not the whole truth), and once raven knew, there was no going back; she needed to know more. and with each discovery—i.e. her search for answers was not a one time deal, but bits and pieces here and there—, the more horrifying the world became...

when yang learns about raven, tai would tell her some things but not everything, and ever since, the question of why did she leave? wouldn't leave yang's mind. she didn't know the answer, but she was determined to find it out, eventually finding a clue that she thought could lead her to it, or maybe even her mother.

instead, what she finds at the end of the road are those burning red eyes...

of grimm. of salem, perhaps, once upon a time. history doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes.

Dear Anonymous,

I haven't adopted anyone! Mods, what in the world are they talking about?

.......

Dear lord god almighty.

THEY ARE MY EMPLOYEES! MY ASSISTANTS! Are you going to call Gumshoe my adopted son now? By your logic, you're claiming Ema and Kay are my adopted daughters when they have never stepped into my home, eaten off of my table, or called me their father? The only girl I've ever adopted is my dog, Pess!

(The logistics you all will go to. Honestly!)

so i think the best way to do a coldflash au of the greatest musical of our time, mamma mia, would be—yes i’m aware it’s 3 a.m., why do you ask—

anyway, the best way to do it would be like, a morbid dark comedy take on it where barry’s not trying to find his father, he’s trying to find the person who framed his father. for his mother’s murder. so he’s like ‘okay i’ve reviewed all the case notes, and i’ve narrowed it down to these three men. also, unrelated, iris and eddie, you don’t mind if i invite three people to your wedding last-minute, right?’

and the three men can be like, harrison wells, eobard thawne, and of course, leonard snart

and barry has sophie’s protagonist attitude of “i’ll just know which one it is when i see him,” except obviously, he doesn’t. harrison wells is an asshole, eobard thawne is a creepy asshole, and leonard snart is… flirting with him?

(i have zero notes on the “does your mother know that you’re out” scene from the mamma mia! movie. just do that again, but angrier, because barry isn’t sure if len is taunting him over his mother’s death or just poking fun at their age gap. but it should be exactly as horny)

len would be the first to catch on to what’s going on, because he knows doc allen from iron heights and puts it together, and he would be impressed at what a ballsy idea it was if he wasn’t too busy being mad at barry for what a stupid fucking idea it was instead, inviting the man who killed his mother to a wedding he’s in, to what? give him a shot at slitting barry’s throat in his sleep next?

if that happens, iris will probably cancel this wedding that len fully intends on crashing, so naturally his only option is to follow around iris’s very stupid, very cute best man for the next three days, just to keep him from getting murdered by whichever of the other two men did kill his mother. and, since that includes the previously-mentioned threat of barry getting killed in his sleep, well… he’ll just have to talk his way into barry’s bed so he can keep an eye on him overnight, too

Ok I was really hoping they wouldn't go for the whole 'jump (not so) straight in only for someone to get cold feet' trope but my god the pay off after next week better be worth it.

It's too early in the day to feel this much

Assembling my Mosura brainrot here...

So, Godzilla would be flabbergasted because this Mothra he meet in Egypt was actually the KOTM Mothra's mother. I mean, right.

In the epilogue of GxK...

His Queen, the KOTM Mothra would've been really shocked after Godzilla talked to her about missing her so much, and it really confused the hell out of Mothra. However, another Mothra? And then she demands him to travel beyond the Hollow Earth, with the assistance of Kong of course (they're friends now).

And guess what, KOTM Mothra did cry out for the love of Kaiju, this Mothra in Hollow is actually her MOTHER.

What's even embarassing is that Godzilla realizing that this was his mother-in-law. Oh boy, he will be having more questions to Mothra Prime (if that's what I had intended to say that name); judging by the fact that he almost flirted at her and she was unfazed in the Egypt fighy scene. 😐

Give Mothra and her mum some time to talk, while Godzilla and Kong are just...chilling right there...
