#like the portal Anne and the others are building

[kiwibirbkat]

You can pry Marcy streamer AU from my cold dead hands

Marcy Wu Streamer AU!

Started streaming as a backup while waiting for her webcomic to blow up

When their account gained traction they used it to help advertise their comic

They do both for a living now

They game on it and sometimes do vlog type streams

She does a lot of charity streams (angsty charity week fic anyone???)

Annual subathons

Lives with the girlfriends (Anne and Sasha)

Sleep schedule? Non-existent!

Anne and Sasha are fan favourites even if they do end some streams early to force Marcy to sleep

She does sub only drawing streams for their comics especially after a hiatus

Or they do public drawing streams of intermission episodes

Anne and Sasha sometimes come onto a stream with them

Marcy has a lot of guilt from Amphibia still :(

(And scars)

Not fully disabled but they need a walking aid sometimes and a wheelchair if the pain gets really bad

They still have traces of Darcy her head but they can't control her they just give advice

Or complain that Marcy won't kill anyone

They can't go to Amphibia but they can call/text through dimensions since Anne gave sprig her phone and Polly figured out how to make more

Marcy refuses any type of therapy (they don't think they deserve help)

But she will break down crying in their girlfriend's arms sometimes

She/they (realized she liked they/them pronouns after everyone referred to Darcy as they seeing as they were multiple minds)

Anne has a pet cat that looks like Domino and she lives with them

Marcy has that gaming posture (atrocious)

They post all of their VODs on YouTube

Marcy has crocheted all of them plushies of their family in amphibia (Sasha with Percy, Braddock and Grime, Anne with Sprig, Polly and Hop-pop, and Marcy with Olivia and Yunan (and a secret andrius plush that they can't look at most days))

None of them have their powers but they do have traces of energy, which is why Darcy stays in Marcy's head instead of just shutting off

Marcy dyes some of her hair green in reminder of when they had cool anime powers

Also, she's worked a lot of aspects of Amphibia into their comic so they have an excuse to make Amphibia merch

Marcy speaks Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, Thai, Portuguese, and Ukrainian and voice over all of their streams in these languages to post them on their separate VOD channels

Most of their fans are worried about her because she's always up so late

They're trying to learn more (Greek, German, Russian, ect.)

Because of Darcy and her wit powers they learn easier (super brain)

All of her fans theorize on why them and their girlfriends went missing for like a year seeing as frogvasion has been wiped from the media

The calamity trio know most of the Disney protags (Dipper, Luz, Molly, Star, and the other people in included in those franchises)

They all live in the same world (-star, Marco and Tom but dimensional scissors yk?)

Luz reached out to Anne for help building a portal, Dipper and Mabel met Molly while ghost hunting

They have all separately run into Star while researching energy levels that came from Stars weird dimensional travel

Therefore Marco added them all to a discord server and the rest is history

They sometimes guest star on Marcy's channel

June has programmed Marcy a game before

Sasha is planning to propose (shhh don't tell Anne and Marcy)

Marcy has cut contact with her family (I don't care what cannon says her parents aren't good people)

(She would not cling onto any sort of affection this much if their parents loved them)

(Fight me)

Marcy hates going to the doctor or bathing (the bath reminds her of the rejuvenation tank and she just generally distrusts the government after Anne told them about the whole thing with Mr X)

The only doctor they trust is the dentist for some reason???

When asked Marcy just shrugs

And the vet but they aren't the one getting tested at the vet and she cares about Domino 3 too much not to go to the vet

Marcy Wu=autism

Marcy has severe anxiety

Marcy has depression

Marcy streams from bed sometimes just because they're in too much pain to walk and their girlfriends aren't their to put them into her wheelchair but she has that grind set for their stream dates

Marcy has crocheted enough Olivia and Yunan plushies to give a small army

They give them away during giveaways as beta designs for some of her characters

Miguel O'Hara (Across The Spiderverse) - Chapter 2

If he thought he could get out of it, that was almost impossible now with how ecstatic Lyla got.

 Typing in the coordinates, he was already jumping through the spiraling portal. His feet landed on a rooftop and he straightened, looking over the city.

“Lyla, pull up her file.”

“You betcha.”

The golden icon of a folder popped up and a number of sheets opened. Miguel’s eyes ran over all that he could, settling on one particular piece of information.

“She’s a counselor at Alchemax.” He muttered.

Lyla nodded.

“Your watch has aligned with the time zone, so she should be getting out in about twenty minutes. Maybe you can catch her.” She snapped away the documents and Miguel pushed ahead to the coordinates. The lab was at least twenty minutes away, so he would cut it close.

Feet hitting each hard surface, he swung, jumped and dodged until he arrived at his destination. When he landed on the building adjacent to Alchemax, he stopped. His gaze dropped down and maybe two minutes later you were walking out the building, ID card hanging off your neck, business suit neat, surprisingly so.

“There she is!!” Lyla pointed excitedly, expecting Miguel to just drop in but he didn’t make a move. He just watched you walk down the street.

“Are we waiting for something?” Lyla asked, confused.

“Yes, we are.”

You stopped at the crosswalk, and his eyes narrowed. Just as the light changed you crossed the road and he was stunned.

“I’m not sure if you understand the concept of a pep talk. You actually have to speak to the person.”

Miguel’s blank expression spoke for itself. Taking off, he was careful, staying at just the right distance that he could see you without making his presence known.

“Are we looking for something?”

“We are. It’s been at least three minutes and she hasn’t crashed into everything in sight.”

Lyla placed a hand under her chin.

“You're right. That’s strange.”

It was. He couldn’t fathom why you seemed almost like a different person here. That’s why he tracked you all the way to what looked like an orphanage. His feet stopped, and this time he dove on a smaller building that was directly next to the building. You seemed completely oblivious to his presence.

His eyes watched you walk right through the gate and the second the children playing outside spotted you, they were laughing and sprinting in your direction. The many bodies crashed right into you and you fell with a laugh of your own as they tackled you in hugs.

His eyes softened at the sight.

“Ms. Reilly, look I grew two inches!” The child exclaimed standing upright.

You finally got to your feet, staring in astonishment.

“Are you kidding me! I’ve only been gone for a week. If you get any bigger you'd be taller than me.” The girl looked proud and you gestured for them to gather over the porch. They all flocked around in a circle as you took a seat, pulling out a book from your handbag.

“What are we reading today?” You asked. You held out the book and the smallest lifted her hand as she read the text.

“I-It says psychology.”

“Very good Anne.” You praise.

She looked proud and the others smiled in her direction with little giggles. You settled back in.

“This is for beginners, it’s a tough read but you guys kept asking so I had to. This is actually the one I started with when I got into my field. Back then I was pretty inexperienced. I made a lot of mistakes as an intern.”

“What, that’s crazy, you’re the best!” You smiled.

“I’m better now, but even adults like me struggle sometimes. Actually I’ve recently joined a club and it’s not going so well. I might have made my boss mad.”

“What did you do?” Another child urged.

“I sort of knocked out one of his colleagues during training. Then I broke some of his tech and lost his really special watch.”

Some of them were laughing, because they were somewhat aware of your clumsy nature.

Miguel couldn’t truly get himself to say much. Lyla was watching with the same level of interest.

“It’s okay, I’m sure he knows you’re just nervous. We still love you even if you’re clumsy Ms. Reilly!”

The statement earned nods of agreement and your lower lip quivered.

“G-Group hug!!” You yelled.

In a matter of seconds they were all rushing and you were once again playfully crushed under them. Miguel’s head turned at the sounds of their laughter.

“Wow, you’re a monster.” Lyla commented.

“How is this my fault!!”

She shrugged, and Miguel’s annoyed expression was planted on his face the entire trip back.

The situation was eye opening. If he felt bad before, he feels worse now. That’s why he’d sent a message for you to check in. He fully expected you to walk into the room suited up, but when he turned you were dressed in sweats and a hoodie.

“I’d like to quit.”

That’s not what he expected at all. He straightened in his spot, now focused. He could see the conflict in your eyes. This was obviously something you’d been thinking about for a while.

“I’m not really cut out for this hero stuff. That day on the bridge was just a fluke. I’m really glad Peter introduced me to everyone but I think it’s better if I stay away from all things hero. It’s only a matter of time before I accidentally do some real damage. If I end up hurting someone I..”

You gulp.

“I’d never be able to forgive myself.”

You’d already come to terms with it. This whole thing must have been a mistake. These abilities, it’s clear they weren’t meant for you. Being a hero was the last thing you should be attempting. You’re just disappointed that it took you so long to see it.

“I’ll drop my watch off in the lab.”

You didn’t want to see anymore of his looks of disappointment. You’d already had your full quota in the last month.

Turning, you walk away.

“So you’re giving up.”

His words caused you to halt in place.

“It didn’t go the way you wanted, so you’re done. If that’s all it takes then you’re probably right, you don’t belong here.”

Spinning around, you’re a bit angry. You couldn’t believe he was saying that after you’d spent the better part of those four weeks getting pummeled just trying to prove yourself.

“I-I’m not giving up because I want to!”

“Another excuse.”

“W-What the hell do you want from me!!”

“I want you to prove to me that this wasn’t a mistake. Every person that has ever come in here was brought here by fate. Those gifts you have could have been given to anyone, but you got it. There’s a reason you did. If you just walk away, then you’re saying that I’m wrong. I’m basically a genius, are you really trying to tell me that I’m wrong.”

His logic didn’t make much sense and he looks pretty pissed, but you can’t help but feel a bit of comfort. He could have just as easily let you walk out, but he’s actually trying to encourage you.

The very same person who lacked faith in you the moment you walked through those doors. You’re not sure if it’s pity, or if he truly believes that you might have potential, but you actually smile, despite the tears that had been threatening to spill. You sniffle, wiping the one that does slip out.

With a nod, you straighten your form as you march right back over to him. Stopping right in front of him, you hold out your hand.

“T-Thank you Mr. O’ Hara, I won’t let you down!”

Your confidence has returned and his expression doesn’t truly change, but he reaches over and takes your hand.

“You better not.”

You’re nodding frantically. You mean to pull back your hand, but you apparently forget to open your palm and Miguel is startled at the force applied as his body is yanked and crashes right into your own. You both hit the ground with a groan. Your eyes are closed due to the harsh impact, and when they finally open you practically gape.

Your eyes are wide and Miguel is staring right back at you in shock. His lips are pressed to your own. For a moment neither of you move. Not until he processes the position. He pulls back with a gasp and you look down when you feel pressure on your chest. His large palm is laying on your right boob. You stammer, cheeks immediately turning red.

“Mierda..”

He curses under his breath and instantly he’s upright, clearly at a loss for words. You’re not much better.

“I-I’m sorry!!” You yell.

Another disaster that you’ve caused.

You rush to your feet sprinting out the room. Once you’re gone, Miguel merely stares at his palm, then his hand slowly moves to his lips, licking them experimentally.

“Do you need a minute?”

Lyla’s sudden appearance makes him growl.

“Cállate!”

She just smiles.

My thoughts on the newest main story quests, some positive and some...slightly on the fence:

First of all, I like that Linda is shown to actually have a backbone and will snap back at people if they insult her. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but for a while it seemed like she was just the token intelligent one of the group who never got into conflicts. So I really liked seeing her stand up for herself this time against the dark riders!

I like how the druids can send messages via runestones to each other in times of crisis. It's something I never would've thought of, and although the way the runestones just grow out of the ground could seem silly and nonsensical in a way for some, I personally really like it!

Also, the magnetising void! It was so cool! I wonder what past Soul Rider performed it with Concorde? I would say Elizabeth, but that just seems too obvious. I love that we got to see a more dangerous side to the magic of the Sun Circle, and I really hope that this is something they will continue with for the rest of the Circles. Maybe for the Moon Circle, Linda could be able to cast dangerous illusions to confuse the dark riders? Or send visions that can drive people mad? It's probably too 'evil' for the Soul Rider circles, but I think it would be cool to see the dark side of the Keepers' magical abilities.

Now, onto the bombing of Dark Core Headquarters. I find it really difficult to believe that DC was never actually drilling any oil. They couldn't have partnered with GED forever, could they've? How could they have made money otherwise? At some point in history they must have drilled for oil, and then stopped for some reason. Maybe to put all their money into the equipment to build the Hadal gate (which btw confirms that Garnoks prison is indeed super deep under the sea, and not in some untouched corner of Pandoria) Anyways, I really hope this is not SSEs attempt at portraying DC as somewhat redeemable with 'oh no they actually weren't polluting the island at all, they were doing nothing wrong!', nevermind the fact that they are working towards releasing Garnok, who has made it very clear by now in regards to his plans for the island.

Well whatever, moving on from that, Erissa! Finally! I was hoping she'd have some lines of dialogue, but I did love her cartwheel/flip coming out of the portal. It's nice to see that Mr Sands is back in action again after not being present in the story for damn, what 5, 6 years now?! I though he and the Dark Riders would've been a bit more annoyed about the oil rig's destruction, so I guess the Soul Riders have got their war crime charges dropped for now at least.

Now for the obligatory Darko mention. With every new release of the main story, I get increasingly more worried about what SSE is planning on doing with him now. He should've been in the ending of this quest, yet he wasn't, and there's been absolutely zero mentions of him ever since the saving Anne quests from other characters, even though he was probably a massive source of trauma for Anne if he was the one who guarded her prison cell, and she seemed to have a very deep hatred of him going off of her mentions of him at past seasonal events. I can't find my screenshot of her one at Midsummer but she said something along the lines of, "What do you think happened to Darko? He had better still be alive. I won't let him take away my chance for revenge." Yes I know, I remembered one line of dialogue at an event years ago, can you tell I'm obsessed yet? I want to say that they're planning something big with him and the Nightmare Institute, but I've got this horrible feeling that they'll either reveal he's dead( even though the soul riding missions are proof that he isn't) or they'll just totally write him out of the story from now on because they've got the new Dark Rider models now, so they can do more with them. I know most people hate him, but I think he has the potential to be a really interesting irredeemable mad scientist type character, so I really hope they haven't given up on him yet. I'm probably being really over dramatic right now XD, but he's been my no.1 character hyperfixation since 2018 so that's my excuse lol.

I really didn't think this would be so long but to summarise: Anne and Linda are badass, I want Avalon to deck someone across the face, and I want Darko to make his dramatic appearance again someday :''(

Well, goodnight! Please share your own opinions with me if you'd like, I'd love to know everyone else's thoughts!

My Personal Favorite BSD Abilities

Got into an argument so I'm backing up here

!SPOILERS AHEAD!

here we go:

8. Another - Yukito Ayatsuji

"Once the criminal behind a murder is identified, the killer will face certain death in an 'accident'

Adding to that, this dude can be ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD and kill someone (a criminal).

Literally no matter how strong they are

(He can't control it, it's literally an accident)

7. Draconia - Tatsuhiko Shibusawa

"A multi-formed ability. Is able to create a mysterious mist capable of separating abilities from their users. If the ability kills its user then it will be added to��Draconia's Room."

This was pretty damn cool when I saw this

But dangerous!!!!!!

Basically once separated, the ability and it's user fight each other

If the ability wins, then it turns into a crystal and gets but in the room

And if the user wins, they can reclaim their ability

+ user cannot use their ability when fighting it

Also when Shibusawa died, he had to get killed MULTIPLE TIMES because he was manifested in sans memory when he got killed the first time due to his ability

Then he turned into a dragon hybrid

(Also it was Fyodor's fault kinda)

6. Undefeated By The Rain - Miyazawa Kenji

"Unleashes untold strength and stoutness but only when he is hungry."

Very specific, but I like it!

His schedule can literally be: Yeet a car, kick some gangsters' ass, then eat lunch

He could not eat for a few hours and probably level a building (might be a little exagerrating)

HES SO CALM ABOUT IT TOO WTF????

When he does eat, he'll end up sleeping after (well deserved!)

5. Illuminations + Anne of Abyssal Red - Arthur Rimbaud and Lucy Maud Montgomery

Illuminations: "Allows him to create a hyperspace which he has full control over. Thanks to this he is able to create a nearly impenetrable defense that could not be broken by guns or explosives."

As we saw, he can pretty much do anything in the hyperspace

He basically put some life in a corpse in that space (not really)

And the only way you can get out is to nullify the ability

This ability has no limited range either, so he could cover large area with it

Anne of Abyssal Red: "Able to create an alternate dimension called Anne's Room. Anyone who loses a game of tag against the monstrous Anne, who dwells inside, is locked in the dimension forever."

Similar concept, not quite the same

In Anne's room, you can actually escape, but you will have no memories of the room once you leave

And then there is Anne, who will play a game of tag with you

If you get tagged, you join people with the same fate in a secret room

But Lucy can link the exit to somewhere of her choice, so the next thing you know, you could be in a moving vehicle

The only known way to escape with knowledge of the room is when Lucy deactivates her ability

4. Plum Blossoms in Snow - Tetchō Suehiro

"Allows him to manipulate the length and form of his saber."

Stretchy sword

It goes super long

THIS MF WENT YOINKITY SPOINKITY AND STABBED KENJI IN A HELICOPTER

He can totally use it more like a grappling hook

So it's perfect for evasion and attacking!

3. Light Snow - Jun'ichirō Tanizaki

"Able to project illusions into physical space, like a smokescreen."

He can make fake objects like in Anne's Room

But there's more

In his fight with John and Lovecraft, he changed what the truck driver saw

And we knew how that ended, the truck crashed into them

This can extend to things like cameras, making him perfect for infiltrations and spying

2. Priceless Tears - Saigiku Jōno

"Allows him to disintegrate his own body into atom-sized pieces."

With this, he can fit into small spaces in order to avoid attacks

Air conditioners, under doors, you name it

He can also disintegrate his body when in contact with a gun or lethal weapon like that, almost making him immune to physical objects

Though, he can get hurt in his form of particles

1. The Overcoat - Nikolai Gogol

"His overcoat serves as a portal connecting another point in space, up to thirty meters away"

You ever seen that scene where Josuke opens up a paper and a hand with a gun comes out?

Literally that, but limited range

30 meters doesn't seem a lot, but it's pretty good for a ranged ability

He put people through his coat

He put himself through his coat

He put a fucking telephone pole through his coat

Yeah that's it!

Sorry if I got some details wrong, I haven't read the manga in a while, so I scraped together what I know

[smilingmxsk]

<- | ->

The battle had gone too far. Buildings were damaged, windows shattered, and dressed-up civilians were fleeing the streets if they hadn't been crushed beneath crumbling bricks and concrete first. The fiery Nekomata may have had flaming fists to deal impressive blows to the turned Fixer, but Margaret herself had fiercely explosive fists, repelling anything they came into contact with. But when fists weren't striking their mark, a shining ball of light appeared between her jaws, slowly intensifying with light before letting loose a beam of light, eating a hole through the several buildings the other Yokai was in front of.

The Nekomata is lucky enough to dodge out of the way in time, skipping behind debris as he closes in on her, then pulling back to deliver a devastating blow to her ribs. There's a harsh crack, the beam of light is disrupted, and the monstrous Fixer is sent tumbling into the nearest crumbled wall. Winded and aching, it attempts to rise up again, but this time, she doesn't get the chance. Chains spawn from beneath her and begin wrapping around her limbs, body, torso, and anything that would have allowed her to try and wriggle free. She's anchored to the ground, struggling and yanking against her constraints.

Just as the brawler Nekomata was just about to approach… a flash of orange crosses his vision. The Fox. It stood politely atop the beast in binds. Simply grinning from ear to ear.

It had been waiting in the dark, primarily for Shade, though with the unexpected appearance of the other, it simply sat and watched the altercation escalate... until it had its opening. In one smooth motion, it bit into the Fixer's back, pulling and pulling until it tugged a seemingly ethereal form with it. The Nekomata was quick to summon its chain whips to disrupt the Fox. The vulpine spirit manages to tear something free, causing the beast below to flail and writhe in agony, but the Fox is knocked back before much more damage can be done.

It rolls, coming to a stop, revealing the… three wriggling forms in its mouth. From one perspective, they almost look like worms, but from another… they look like tails.

“Appreciated, my friend.” It finally spoke. “You put on quite a show. Taking out a few humans while you were at it, even. You saved me quite a bit of trouble from acquiring these by force, so… Thank you.~”

The Nekomata prepared an attack, but the Fox simply leaped into a portal formed from its own shadow below. And just like that, the Fox was gone.

"Dammit… of course I deliver the self-fulfilling prophecy." The Nekomata sighed, dragging a paw down his face, exasperated. Yet again, the Fox slipped between his fingers. And to make matters worse, he'd accidentally given it an easy win. It now had three tails added back to its roster, and they would all pay for this mistake soon enough. A sudden, violent snarl is what brings him back to reality. Right. The matter of her. Slowly, the Nekomata approached the changed Fixer before kneeling just inches before her bound maw. It was… sad to see her like this, really. That the Rabbit would do something as desperate as this to a vessel. All because she craved to regain what was rightly hers. He placed a paw on her forehead, and in an instant, Margaret had halted her furious writhing.

"You aren't her." He began. "Whatever feelings you may be feeling right now, those emotions are special to you. And you alone.

Dig for your memories. Remember who you are as a separate being. Wake up."

There was no reaction. Not at first. In a few moments, the beast began to squint, blink, and shake her head as if attempting to clear her vision. Who she was… who was she?

"You are Margaret Anne Williams! You’ve lived here in this city for all of your life! Fought through trials that sought to bring you down!"

Things were… getting sharper now. Less fuzzy, less of that buzzing static. She could smell the city now, yes. She could smell its stench oh so very acutely. She could even hear the encroaching sirens in the far distance.

"Remember how you got here… the ones who brought you to this point in life! The people that stole you away, the ones that cursed you!... And the ones that nurtured you."

The beast could feel the chains begin to loosen on her body… but she felt no need to act on it. No, her heart was heavy now. Mourning. Those familiar faces, the non-faces—masks, covering their cruelty… a man she had yet to see again. How much of herself did she lose along the way?... How much more would she strip away just to survive?...

"Wake up, Margaret. The Rabbit isn't you, and you aren't the Rabbit. You have so much more to live for. Allies that only want to see you safe. Don't leave them behind. Not like this.

Please. Wake up."

[thisbelongsto-nohbodys]

Was the portal only opened after all of the trio's children were born, or was it already open before Percy and/or Maddi were born? If it was, I can only imagine how awkward it was to explain it to the girls' amphibian families

(sorry if my wording is bad, English is not my 1st language)

Going off the ending of the Journal the portal was improved to a point that Terri was confident enough to tell Anne during her 23rd birthday, however my headcanon is that while the portal works, it’s not large enough to go through but it can send letters and both sides can see each other. The Trio was able to send a capsule with letters from them addressed to their frog families (mostly the Plantars) and with instructions on where the portal is opening up. A few days after the letters were tossed in Amphibia and found and delivered, the Plantars went to where the letter said to go and they got to see Anne and the others. After talking for a bit about how to make the portal bigger, Anne suggests “why not build another machine on their side and treat it like a bridge?” and so Terri (with Mr X’s approval) sends the blueprints for the portal machine over to Polly who’s an engineer and said she can build a team from friends from New Newtopia who are also engineers. The Bridge takes a long time to build and sync up but when it’s finally ready and is able to make the portal big enough, Mr X and Terri make this news and a first visit to Amphibia as the Trio’s wedding present (after they got back from their month-long honeymoon). The kids wouldn’t come till later so theirs no worries about confusion

[lady-asteria]

Sashannarcy's propaganda-meta

Propaganda for @/powerpolyculeshowdown poll

Disclaimer:Spoilers for Amphibia, the whole show, and Marcy's journal.

Disclaimer 2.0: I may use the words "babes" a little bit much, sorry if someone is uncomfortable.

The tropes, babes, the tropes! 

We aren't talking only about childhood friends to lovers or enemies/rivals to lovers. It's childhood friends to "It's complicated" to "we are going to fix this bc it's worth it" to lovers. The messy part, the complicated part is what makes them appealing because they end up fixing their problems. They have seen the others as their innocence, their worst and their best. /In this orden/ And knowing each other since they were kids is essential to their relationship because it is what gives them the ultimate reason to fix the messiness, as hard as it's, as scared as they are, the other two matter too much to each one to not do it. 

On the other hand: they are soulmates. Like, canonically. There is a prophecy about the three of them coming to Amphibia, fix their problems and defeat evilness. The prophecy is about them, their relationship was written in the stars by fate. Unlike other soulmates it isn’t a question of unconditional forced romance but one which triumphs because of their decisions and desire (kinda out of topic? But this is one of the reasons why I’m 100% comfortable with the soulmate trope with them) /Also, they look so cute/

Tecnichally, they have been and are roommates! OH MY FROG!  They are ropmmates

Reviving crying: Do you remember that scene in Tangled when Rapuzel cried over Eugene to keep him alive? Beautiful and romantic, right? (And emotionally devastating bc how dare them?) They have that here too! After being possessed by The Core, Marcy is unconscious (Sasha may think she has killed her? Maybe) Anne and Sasha put her body between them, crying while they say “Oh, Marcy. We love you” “And we forgive you. Please come back to us” and their tears awakened her. 

Meet-cute: Marcy and Anne meet on the beach, the former was building a sand castle and when she was getting anxious about the sea “I was determined to protect your masterpiece from being washed away before it was finished. You were getting anxious, so I took you by the hand, looked you in the eyes, and promised -We would defend your castle till the bitter end!-” &  “We lost your castle, sadly, but we’d found each other” (extracts from Marcy’s journal written by Anne) Sasha met them (they were around five?) when two teenagers throw Anne and Marcy from the swings making them cry- Sasha... did her best and the swings were returned to them. And when she was going to leave, Anne asked her if she wanted to play with them. Anne and Marcy choose Sasha that day and she chooses them every day after too, which leads to my next point…

They care so much for each other? They would do everything (...literally) for each other? Most of their mistakes come from love? The plot starts bc of Marcy's fear and love for them, bc she didn't want to lose them. (She hacked the universe for them, which is very romantic and gay if you ask me)

Also, tecnichally, they have been and are roomates. Oh my frog, they are roommates!

One of the points of their relationship is how, even if it's messy, even if it isn't pretty, even if it's toxic they love each other so much that they are going to make things better, for themselves as individuals and their relationship together. It's the kind of love that isn't unconditional in the "nothing matters" but in the "we can make this better, we are worth it" Love wasn'tenough to make it perfect, but it was to become.

OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER:

Blushing:

Touchy:

"Your pupils grow when you see something you like":

Hands holding:

LOOK! Marcy is aquarius, Anne is gemini and Sasha is Aries...JUST SAYING

Korrasami ending: They are holding hands! There is a portal!

It's them, it's always them.

[captainimprobable]

Question: Any headcanons on what might happen if Amphibia ended with the Calamity trio remaining stuck in Amphibia permanently?

Oh my god I love this ok so. I don't think they would handle it well. I believe they'd be okay eventually, but they would ALL go through phases of being severely messed up. Let's go through them all shall we?

Sasha: Honestly, weirdly enough, I think she'd be the most well adjusted. Not that she would be okay. I think she has very little waiting for her in the human world, and while she would miss her parents and friends, she fits in very well in Amphibia. But. She would have a very difficult time trying to find her place in the new peaceful society. I feel like they would recruit her to work with building the new government, and although she would refuse to take a large leadership role, I do think she would thrive in a smaller one. She's got severe PTSD, as well as other issues, and the only people who could really understand are Anne and Marcy, which is difficult, because I think they would all decide to spend a bit of time apart after the events of the show. I think they would be inseparable for a few months, and then try to find themselves outside of other humans. Marcy: She would deal with so much guilt over being the reason they're there, she would regret never making up with her parents, and she would miss the human world. I think she would eventually thrive as an adventurer, someone who discovers new lands and plants and animals and stuff. But before that? Before that she would need severe therapy (they all would). Do they have therapists in Amphibia? They must. Anne: She would have the hardest time. She would miss her parents and Domino, she would miss the human world, she would miss it all. I think she would continue to live with the Plantars, and I think the only thing that would stave off her severe depression is her continuously making plans to make another portal back to the human world. She would get obsessive, and her family would definitely force her to stop for a little just to take care of herself. She's also considered the biggest hero in Amphibia, so she has that to deal with. As a trio, I think , like I said, they would continue to stay together and mourn as a group. Once they're more stable, I think they would eventually separate for a year or so and vow to come back to each other once they've found themselves outside of the trio. After, they'd continue being best friends. The thing is though, they're each other's only romantic options, unless they decide to marry frogs or newts or toads. So I def think that could get MESSY. But they would get through it. I think they'd be okay in the end, but I don't think they'd ever stop trying to create a portal. With Andrias's help I believe they'd probably be able to, but not for a very very long time.

[wixelt]

Going through the AU once again and I was reminded of Grian blitzing past Andrias on Elytra wings as a distraction followed by Sasha dive bombing him with swords on her own pair, Grian serving as a surrogate mentor to Sasha in Scar's absence, and the idea that the portal is likely open for a good amount of time before they finish preparations on the dragon-duper allowing the resistance to actually have access to Elytra for ever so slightly less time, especially with both Iskall and Ijevin around to go End Raiding (an idea of it's own,) leading me to one cunclusion

Grian giving Sasha flying lessons.

Also R&D probably made either rocket boosters or jet packs out of scavenged Frobo parts to act as propulsion for the Elytra.

This is very plausible.

Tango doesn't work out how to do the impossible & build an End Portal til very late in Season 3. Even then, though, they have a bit of breathing room.

After dealing with the existing dragon - if its even there naturally, given how odd Amphibia is compared to other worlds - an effort led by Iskall & Jevin accrues a surplus of elytra. Enough for pretty much every Hermit plus a few others, namely Anne, Sasha, Marcy & - after pleading with Hop Pop - Sprig as well.

And from there begin the lessons.

Anne, Sprig & especially Marcy only learn enough to get by, having other things they'd rather put prep time into. If they make it through this, there'll be time to learn without repeatedly faceplanting, later.

Sasha, however, soars as if it were second nature to her.

Scar - much like the rest of the Earthbound group - is back with the resistance now, but Grian was a big support for Sasha whilst he, Anne & Marcy were gone. A second mentor figure, even if Scar forges a much stronger emotional connection in the long run.

So maybe the fact that Grian's the one leading the flying lessons has something to do with how well Sasha takes to it.

Either way he's impressed, & Scar's just relieved Sasha doesn't take after how he flies. :P

And yes, in the absence or perhaps in the inefficiency of using fireworks in this situation, Frobot derived rocket packs - makeshift as they are, not meant to last long term no matter how much Tango works on them - make these flying fighters all the more dangerous.

Trust No One

yet another AU! this one is sashannarcy hehe

In this AU, all the amphibia stuff stayed the same, but once they got back, things got weird.

Since Sasha and Marcy, Anne's closest friends, had actually been making pretty selfish decisions (which she totally forgives them for), Anne begins questioning her other friends' motives, and it didn't help that they kinda lost touch over those months spent away.

Thus, Anne trusts no one but Sasha, Marcy, and her parents.

Meanwhile, Marcy has been having lots of problems. She's super paranoid, has been lower than usual on her grades, and even can't bring herself to play on her switch (because it reminds her of how Aldritch tried to manipulate her). She even asked her parents to "ground" her from her phone because she couldn't stand the constant spamming of messages from her fellow gamers.

Her parents, of course, noticed this, and decided to cancel the move to try and help Marcy, but even though she feels like the whole Amphibia incident was her fault, she still holds a wall between her and her parents.

Thus, Marcy trusts no one but Anne and Sasha.

And ever since Sasha got home, she's been practically ghosting everyone until she got back to school (including her parents). She didn't speak or reply to her messages for over a month, and the only way anyone would know she was there was when she practiced her swordfighting with her old cheerleading flags.

Thus, Sasha trusts no one but Marcy and Anne.

All three of them would sometimes relive unwanted memories in their sleep, which may or may not have resulted in insomnia and a lot of screaming (especially on Sasha's end, she still relives her fights with Anne and Darcy).

When the three of them got back to school, they only hung out with one another and didn't really speak unless they were in conversation with one another. Unknowingly, they were all already in love with each other. Blind dumbasses.

It was literally so obvious to everyone in the world. It had been broadcasted live on the news all over the world that Sasha, Anne and Marcy saved the planet together. Anne only smiles around them. Sasha wouldn't speak at all unless she was with them. Marcy made them small gifts like necklaces and barrettes, and they even repaid her by fixing her own hair clip when it broke.

But somehow, they were completely oblivious.

Eexcept until prom. Marcy still didn't trust anyone but them, so they were the ones she asked.

Sasha realized her feelings about a week before, and she said yes.

Anne said yes, then went home, realized how big of an implication it was going to be, and then realized just how much she cared for the both of them.

Unfortunately for them, in Amphibia, everyone really missed the Calamity Trio, so the newts managed to revive a small part of the Core and gain its knowledge to build a new portal.

And right after the success, it escaped into the human world, with the portal still in Amphibia. So it's stuck on Earth and not even it can do anything about it, the planet doesn't have the right kind of resources.

Sadly, it still has enough of it to hack into some of Earth's advanced technology, which only made it stronger. And during prom, it hacked into the music speakers and attempted to attack the Calamity Trio.

But then, somehow, as if by miracle, something clicks in the three of them. Like some switch was turned on. And they all get their calamity powers again, and beat the shit out of the core... in front of the whole school plus teachers.

More on the way!

Comics Read 07/01-15/2023

A little over a year ago I did a post about reading two comic book biographies of Artemisia Gentileschi back-to-back. I wrote some lines about how the inclusion of them in my collection helps makes the act of collecting semi-autobiographical. Consider this a sequel to that post.

Over the two weeks I am writing about I read Glass Town written and drawn by Isabel Greenberg and The Brontës Infernal Angria written by Craig Hurd-McKenney and art by Rick Geary. Different takes on the same subject, how the Brontë children had a shared alternate universe which they all wrote stories about. I have owned a copy ofThe Juvenilia of Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë from when I was a child, but I never read it. I probably should. The names of Angria and Gondal were familiar from reading about the Brontës. But because of not actually reading the Juvenilia, I first encountered Glass Town by name in Die, where it was treated as a proto-multi-player role playing game. Which, seems fair enough. Die wasn’t much interested in the subject of their writings, so this is all new to me.

Greenberg’s art in Glass Town is crude in the same way ND Stevenson’s and Gus Allen art work is. If anything it’s more childlike and inconsistent. I don’t love it, but I like how the lines work the limited pallet with a lot of dark, cool reds. It hints at the early industrial feel of their time period as well as the harsh climate of their surroundings. 

The narrative starts in the aftermath of the the eldest Brontë sisters, Elizabeth and Maria, deaths. The creation of Glass Town is an escape from the trauma of their final illnesses at a poorly kept boarding school.

Charlotte narrates her tale of Glass Town, to a minor character from her stories who appears as her imaginary friend. They talk through the plot she worked on, which as presented here seems more related to Wuthering Heights than Charlotte’s actual novels. The story includes how while the children started sharing Glass Town, they split with Charlotte and Bramwell writing about Angria while Emily and Anne created Gondor. (Less of Emily and Anne’s writing on Gondal survives to the modern day than Charlotte’s work on Angria, hence why less of it is included in either of these accounts.) Probably because of this shared fantasy world with her brother, Charlotte is shocked by his decent into alcoholism while Emily catches early warning signs. It’s a rumination on the building of escapist fantasy in the face of tragedy and the creation of art. I don’t think it entirely works, but it makes me want to get back to reading the Brontë’s and writing about them. 

Infernal Angria takes the shared fantasy world and creates an actual portal fantasy. The Brontës literally go between worlds and get used in political machinations in an alternate world’s monarchy. I hated it. The text is something of an apologia for Bramwell for being such a failure. He didn’t really fail, he was manipulated by much more mature people from a world he loved. Also it takes the “artists don’t die, they live through their art” to the extreme of the Brontës didn’t all die at shockingly young ages, they relocated to the other side of a portal. It’s silly and also unclear. It shouldn’t be both. The end had the author talking about his long love of the Brontës as well as a suggested reading list. Everyone in a while you find someone who has some shared enthusiasms but seem to take it in a direction that rubs you wrong.

At first glance, I would think that Geary’s art style is more my type than Greenberg's. But eventually I hated it because the shading was made with a crosshatching that got too easily confused with paterns used for fabrics or wood grains. It’s the shorter of these two books and the one that felt more like a chore to read. 

The contrasting treatments of the the worlds of Angria/Glass Town is pretty interesting. The character in both have essentially the same back story, but as presented in Infernal Angria I didn’t feel like the narrative came off as a rough draft of Wuthering Heights. Glass Town treats the alternate world as a reflection on contemporary colonialism, while Infernal Angria approaches it as a pastiche of Medieval fantasy. It makes me wish I had read the source material even more. 

Despite finding these books lacking, there will be more comic book takes on the Brontës in my reading future.

The 13 Days of AUs- The Ninth Day of Christmas: A SeroDeku AU

Summary: On the 13 days of Christmas, Music gave to me… 13 different POTSOD AUs! Each contains a different pairing and different plots but within: a collection of plot line that will appear in the main series… though have fun figuring them out! (Including a few pairings that will appear~)

ON AO3

-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

 It happened in two seconds. One minute, Izumi watched Hawks take down a villain, then the next, a portal opened up in the sky to allow three figures to fall out. One of them had wings and stayed afloat, grabbing onto one of the others. The other fell hard but got up even after hitting the ground with a crack.

 “Gonna have to try harder, birdie,” the blue-haired man taunted. “Tomoe, it’s time to stop playing~”

 “Eat shit!” snapped the only girl. Izumi stared at her, clutching her daughter in her arms. The adult looked like a patchwork doll, stitches covering her body to connect the two-toned skin, her ribbon hair fluttering.

 “That’s no way to talk to your uncle!” Growled the blue-haired man, baring his fangs. An alpha, then. Alphas did that more frequently than not. Tomoe responded with her own growl, teeth bared. Izumi clutched the toddler in her arms tighter. 

 “Oi!” The third figure asked an older version of Hawks with scars on his face. “Tango-Indigo-Mike-Echo, Subsect 2 and 3. Code: I’m an Omega, and no, I don’t want a big strong alpha, bite yourself.” The younger Hawks jerked in surprise before reaching a hand to his ear.

 “We have time travel confirmed,” he said out loud. Izumi swallowed thickly. Her instincts hissed for her to grab her daughter and bolt. Run and run to hide in a hole and keep her child safe. She barely managed to choke back her whine as she stared at the adult version of her daughter, who was still growling at the villain.

 “I see… we’ll then I can keep my sister safe easier now!” The villain said, eyes shining with madness. “She won’t-“

 “You TOUCH my mother, and I rip you limb from limb, you incestuous FUCK!” Tomoe snarled. She shoved a hand out, her threads breaking apart to shoot out at the villain, who dodged, the threads cracking a building where they’d landed. “Shit, collateral damage. How long has it been again since we had to worry about that?”

 “The last city collapsed five years ago, Raggedy Ann,” older Hawks said grimly, detaching a feather to make a sword. “So five years.” The crowd gasped. “We have civilians and buildings to worry about now,” older Hawks glared at the villain, who scoffed. Younger Hawks stepped forward, his sword raised.

 “What are we dealing with?” He asked.

 “His name is Shigaraki Tomura. He is the former apprentice of All for One, who could take and give Quirks. His base Quirk is Decay which, when he touches an object, will disintegrate it immediately.” Older Hawks said as Tomoe shot out more threads, Shigaraki dodging. “He got a copy of All for One, which… warped his mind, we think. He became obsessed with All for One’s daughter, who the villain hid away. At first as a sister but given her Quirkless Omega status, as a… partner later on.”

 Do NOT whine, Izumi, do NOT whine. Izumi told herself as she stepped back from the fight. No, too far. With older Tomoe jumping around and fighting, her scent reached Izumi’s nose. Her instincts were telling her to stay and watch over her scared child.

 “How did her kid end up…”

 “I’ll explain later,” Older Hawks told his younger self. “Shigaraki has at this time six Quirks he uses often. Decay, Erasure, Voice, Cremation, Honing, and Brainwashing. It’s verbal, but he won’t bother with Raggedy Ann around. A part of her Quirk is when her threads pierce someone, she can control them. Brainwashing versus brainwashing cancels each other out. Also, do NOT touch me. Our minds will meld so that you gain all my memories. My personality dies, and you get my trauma. It’s so much fun that way.” Older Hawks grunted. Before younger Hawks could speak, older Hawks launched himself into the fight. Younger followed.

 In most circumstances, seeing two versions of the winger hero fighting against a villain would be thrilling. More so when he pulled out multiple Quirks. But the thread-wielding female kept catching Izumi’s eyes. Tomoe was moving so fast, swinging from her threads. It was so beautiful as she shot them out, trying to pierce the villain. 

 Then, the man threw a torrent of flame at the two older heroes. They dodged right as Tomoe swung past. The flame caught her. The woman let out a yell, and the sight… the yell...

 Pup hurt. My pup hurt. Baby Pup in arms. Need safe person. 

Alpha. Not mine. Sticky smell. But sticky smell on Bug Pup? Safe. He protect. I attack.

-0-

 It is widely known that while Alphas were more likely to fight, and Omegas tended to run to a safe place, the true danger came from attacking an Omega’s pup in front of them. When you hurt their pup, Omegas went feral. Usually, it was just under the age of fifteen. 

 However, in the case of Midoriya Izumi, her daughter was only one year old when she saw the older version of Tomoe get her arm burned badly. She was holding the toddler and stressed out. Of course, she went feral. Everyone would agree on that after seeing the clip of the young Omega handing her daughter over to an Alpha who’d also gone into protective mode to protect the pups while the Omega pounced. One second, Shigaraki was trying to attack the two male heroes, convinced they did it on purpose.

 The next, he was on the ground with an Omega mother wailing on him.

 “Izumi- little sister-“ begged the villain, but there was only a growl in response before the Omega dug a finger into an eye socket, drawing an unpleasant scream. She then slammed a fist into his throat, screaming as she did.

 “Shiiiit,” Older Hawks muttered. “Forgot how she could get. She’s as terrifying as ever.” Younger Hawks stared and then looked over at the collapsed Raggedy Ann, guarded by a skinny Alpha with strange elbows, holding a baby version of the heroin. Oddly enough, it seemed Raggedy Ann was healing fast, new stitches appearing on her arm where the burn had been.  “Oh hey, her analysis is still coming through. She’s targeting his main Quirk zones. Remove an eye, so Erasure has a huge blind spot, damaging his throat so that Voice doesn’t work as well. And attack his hands. Wow. I forgot how good she was at breaking things down.”

 “… so she isn’t with her father?” Younger Hawks asked.

 “Oh no. He left her with his beta wife, who messed up. Assumed raising a female Omega would be like a beta kid. Tried to arrange marriages, trampled over all the girl’s instincts. Then a teacher sexually assaulted her. The mom actually tried to force her to abort or give the baby up. Big red flag for the nurses. I think Izumi got removed from her mother’s custody about seven months into the pregnancy.” Older Hawks hummed. 

 “… how can someone be that dumb not to look up Omega instincts?” Younger Hawks asked. 

 “I read the court details. Apparently, the woman is just… oblivious and focused on what she thinks is the perfect normal mixed with a Populationist idea based on ‘the world going back to normal.” Older Hawks mused. Izumi suddenly slammed a knee into Shigaraki’s crotch. “Ouch.”

 “I think he was getting a boner…” younger muttered.

 “… gross.”

 The heroes stood back as the feral Omega went to town, watching in detached fascination. The girl could throw a punch. And it wasn’t illegal to let an Omega go off like that. 

 “So… who’s the Alpha?” Younger asked with a nod behind them. 

 “Ah, that’s Sero Hanta, her mate in the future. He adopted Raggedy. Even bit her to replace her paternal scent.” Older Hawks paused. “Huh, maybe that’s why he moved. He smelt the older version, saw the child version and snapped.” 

 “… Shigaraki is managing to fight back.”

“Shit.”

-0-

 The battle took another hour to end. Shigaraki did throw Izumi off, but the older Hawks moved quickly to stop him from doing anything. With that, Izumi’s feral self smelling a ‘Pack-Omega’ scent on him, she hurried off to hover over her daughter. The Alpha next to her growled and snapped at anyone who got close. The older version of Tomoe just stared at her younger mother.

 “Mom!” She choked out. “Mama, mama- you’re alive.” Her eyes went to Sero, and she sobbed too. “Papa, papa.” 

 The emotional turmoil the girl was going through didn’t stop her from taking advantage of Shigaraki landing close with his back to them. She shot out a hand, and a thick thread spurted out to drive into his head. Shigaraki froze.

 “That was for the WORLD!” Snarled Tomoe as she jerked her hand back. Most of the public ran when Izumi went feral, no one wanting to face off against that sort of thing. Those who stayed didn’t react. Half of the block was demolished, and large craters had been where people used to be. Burns covered the ground, and smoke lingered in the air.

 That sort of destruction few wanted to be around. More so when he’d destroyed the entire world. The medics wasted no time rushing to check on the injured heroes and scan the Ferals.

 “They’re coming down,” one of them announced. “A few more minutes.” And it was true; the two teenagers slowly came out of their feral state to stare around them in shock. Izumi caught the other’s eyes and flushed.

 “Umm…” Hanta adjusted the toddler in his arms. Izumi stared in shock. She didn’t want to rip his face off for handing Tomoe. “What’s going on?”

 “You adopted me,” the adult Tomoe said as she stared like they were golden idols. She couldn’t look away. “Bit me and everything after you and Mama decided that you would mate. Helped me with my strings too. Mostly the swinging.”

 “Oh…” Izumi glanced at Sero, who glanced back, flushing. “I… I see.”

 “Well, you will soon,” Tomoe admitted. “We didn’t come back by ourselves. Another team, with special abilities, did.” She swallowed. “They’re about to show what happened.” She looked between them. “I’m sorry, Mama.”

 “Huh?” Izumi asked in confusion. Tomoe swallowed.

 “A lot of things are going to come out.” She whispered. “And… you had a hard time in UA. Getting into the hero course nearly broke you.” 

 “… oh,” Izumi said.

 “I’m sorry, Mama. It was the only way we could think of to stop him.” Tomoe said. “I… I found Papa’s body. I found your body.

 I don’t want to find them again.”

Notes:

-Apologies. Yesterday I finished my final exam and wrote a lot of this… then I got drunk and couldn’t focus. So sorry!

-I’m a sucker for omegaverse and time travel, not going to lie.

-I had fun here. After this, it would continue with the show, where Izumi did get into the hero course and went on to be a terrifying hero. She and Sero danced around each other for a while before getting together, to Bakugou’s annoyance. 

-Izumi’s guardians/foster parents I never really decided on? EraserMic is obvious but it would be fun to explore another.

-Hawks and Izumi became pack first since she was his intern here.

-Izumi is one of two omegas in the hero course, and due to this got a lot of attention. She mostly didn’t like it.

[willel]

This show draws from a lot of different tropes, genres and such. At the same time, it seems pretty straightforward and simple, which is not bad because a story should be accessible and digestible, though it's fine to like something more complex. You dig deep into plot speculation and theories on this blog, and I am wondering how you get this out of a while great, yet simple story?

Well, the show doesn't just draw from different tropes and genres. It takes specific inspiration from specific 70's and 80's movies and Stephen King books. That's where the speculation comes from.

For example, Poltergeist was one of the inspirations for season 1. It even gets named dropped in a conversation between Joyce and Will. Poltergeist happens to be one of my favorite movies so I know all about it and its intricacies.

Is it a coincidence that it is mentioned by Joyce and Will? Absolutely not. Joyce and Will's predicament is almost exactly like Diane and Carol Ann from the movie. If you watch the movie you'll see it clear as day.

Diane's daughter Carol Ann is kidnapped by an evil powerful ghoul from the "other side" via her closet (in which shines extremely brightly as she's being taken) This is why I do believe them when they say "subject 001" was mostly planned from the getgo but "Vecna" himself wasn't. The big bad evil guy from Poltergeist only makes 1 appearance at the very end of the movie and the rest of the times he's brought up is in passing. You don't even figure out who he is until the sequel movie.

Diane does "crazy things" convinced she's communicating with Carol Ann on the other side and gets proven right about halfway through the movie. Maybe sooner. Her family communicates with her through the tv static and can "feel" her around the house sometimes from the "other side". Here's the portal to the "other side" btw. Also, tentacles come out to try and pull them in.

Nearing the end of the movie, Diane goes into the "other side" to bring Carol Ann back and they're both covered in goo (much like Will was cause of Upside Down slime)

Like, the parallels are there. Because of these similarities, I take a leap and see what other "inspirations" they might've taken from these movies such as themes and hidden lore.

For example, the hidden lore of Poltergeist is that Diane's family, unbeknownst to her, are extremely sensitive to the spirit world and the big bad evil guy on the "other side" noticed Carol Ann's power and decided to take her for his own means.

If you're read any of my theories, that sounds very familiar doesn't it? I often speculate that Joyce's family, unbeknownst to her, are born with the potential to have power, and Will has inherited that.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. It also parallels to El and Terry, though El and Terry's story have a much more sci fi twist to their life story, the basic outline is the same. Potential to have power passed down through the family line and the daughter is kidnapped by big bad evil guy (Brenner) for his own means.

You can take almost any movie from their inspiration list and you can draw these kinds of lines. Some movies I think they dropped the ball (with The Thing, they really missed out on the suspense of not knowing who was flayed unlike the movie where that's where all the suspense comes from)

I'm not someone who believes that "EVERYTHING THEY DO HAS THIS DEEP MEANINGFUL PURPOSE". I'm also not someone who thinks they've planned absolutely everything from the beginning. But I don't think the entire story is an accident or the writers don't know what they're doing or that "nothing is significant everything is simple".

When they tell us "this specific movie is a big inspiration", I take their word for it and draw some parallels. It was impossible to do that for season 4 because they released a century long list of their "inspirations" that I stopped paying attention to about 3 weeks in. But it's very easy to see all the little plot threads they've been building up over the years for season 1 and 2 at the very least.

All that said, I like to think out of the box. Take one thing, see what it COULD mean. Doesn't mean I think it'll absolutely happen. It's all for fun.

[liroyalty]

The one thing Adam hated the most about their arrangement, was the fact that they were in different universes. If Sue was in his Hell… Would he still be lying on his back? Looking up at the forever red sky? So close to the portal back to Heaven? There were… so many holes in him. It didn’t look like he was coming back from this one. At the very least… He was able to tell her he loved her before this happened. It was of course bound to happen at some point. After all, Adam was the villain of this story, and Villain’s lose.

They don’t get the girl, they don’t get to see the next day, and that’s what happened to the First Human as his eyes shut and his body disappeared.

There would be one last gift Adam would receive from his father. The gift of truth. It could have been left that Adam never came back to see Sue. That he could have played her this whole time or that he had grown bored of her. This was far from the truth…

This gift would show up, of all places, in the woman’s room. A glowing, yellow spider Lilly. Upon its touch to see the memories within, the first thing that would be shown to her, would be the day they first met.

“Sick shades. I gotta pair too. You’re officially in the cool club. Congrats.”

And now, she wouldn’t spend an eternity wondering where he went… And she will always have those memories of him at arms reach. He loved her, with all his heart.

There was someone who knew the truth already. She didn't mean to keep the truth from her sister, or rather, she didn't want too, but she knew what Sue would do if she learned the truth of the downfall. She had done her best to keep this from happening, but even as a seraphim, her powers are not prefect or absolute.

Adam's heaven... found out. And did... everything Ann & him both feared they would. They forbad him from coming to their end of the cosmos, shut him out... or locked him in rather If it was not within the bounds of his own star system, he could not go there. And by the gods, Ann tried everything she could to get them to reconsider. Ann might seem gentle & kind, with an almost careless nature about her, but she cared so much about her sister & her happiness that it brought out the determination within her. There's no case she did not pled, no reason that would not be heard. Devils in their universe were not of the same ilk as the ones here, they are as divine as any angel merely of a differing branch, Adam & Sue both are mortal souls by divinity so they are not so different as they seem, there is no true harm that could come from such a relationship all they are shriving for was happiness, do they not want happiness for one of their own?

Yet what did it amount too? Nothing. 'Rules' & 'Things you don't fully understand' overtaking the happiness of two souls that have suffered enough. Once again, happiness is torn from her beloved sister's grasp, & Ann can do nothing to stop it. Once again, others are caught in the crossfires of those who can choose to do otherwise, but still choose to be joy thieves. How does she tell Sue? How? She knows how Sue will react... sorrow, anguish... then rage & rancor. She knows she has too... she's been holding it off way too long already... it's still a through process she is debating as she goes to Bella Faldiso...

".... Fuck...."

The scene was already a mess. The gothic mansion was completely in shambles, it was obvious without even having to go inside, a massive hole in the second floor being the most glaringly obvious 'new feature' that Ann knew was not there before, & made her worry. She knew Sue would be upset with Adam no longer showing up, but to such an extent? Did she... did she know already? Her wings took her down the building, towards that hole, only getting more & more distressed as she heard the familiar sound of weeping. No... no... don't... please... Peeking through that hole in the building greeting Ann to the room she knew was her sister's bedroom, & it was... worse then the outside, a torrent of destruction. An indiscernible scene that tore holes in the very fabric of the reality of her realm, that could make even the most devious of individuals have to look away for a moment; even Ann's divine eyes all closed for a moment at what the power of sheer violent despair can do. But she opened them again, because she had too, because...

"Sister!!"

Suzanne was there, in the center of her own destructive wake, looking about as well as the madness she created around her, curled up around herself & but only a measure of broken & horse sobs leaving her. And the devil didn't even budge hearing her name from that familiar voice, barely even budge when the owner of that familiar voice held no fear of the reality fractures & flew over the destruction to reach her, barely budged when the arms of that familiar voiced took a hold of her to move the weeping woman into her lap.

"..."

"Suzanne!"

"... Ann...."

"Yes, it's me. It's your sister." Suzanne's voice sounded so broken, it torn away pieces at Ann's heart. "Are you okay? I'm sorry I wasn't here."

A deadly silence befell the room. Scarlet eyes that could once burn so bright, were left dark & hollow, blacker even then the onyx color they were in her living years. It was like Suzanne, this devil, were empty. As if her heart stopped beating, & there was nothing giving her fuel, yet her soul refused to exit her body, refused to leave, forcing her to stay trapped in this existence. Stains of tears, & still wet ones, ran down her cheeks to furiously, it's as if they were to become permanently marks upon her skin. There are cuts & bruises everywhere too, the backlash from the destruction she caused in her own realm, & the amount of her power she must of used. Suzanne was, put simply, the picture of a broken woman.

"... Ann... he's... Adam's... gone." When that broken woman finally spoke, her words only made Ann blink, unsure of what she meant by 'gone'. The first thought that came to her head was that Suzanne knew, that Adam's Heaven found out about their relationship & was keeping him away. But no. It was Ann this time that didn't know, only proved when the devil reached under herself, showing something she had be cradled around.

A spider lily. Yellow, glowing, almost golden.

'Sick shades. I gotta pair too. You’re officially in the cool club. Congrats.'

"... W-what...?" Ann knew what this meant. Suzanne explained the property she'd given these flowers in her realm, they hold the memories of the dead... & the yellow color indicated the memories within were from a divine being. A dead divine being. Adam was... dead?

"... I... I looked at them... I saw... everything."

"... Suzanne... I'm... I'm s-"

"-Don't. Please." It was a broken hearted pled. So broken that it took pieces of Ann own heart. Sue understood, she did, she understood why Ann kept this from her, & why she inserted herself so much in her love life this time. Really, if not for Ann, Sue would have done something stupid, something that... would have certain gotten her killed... permanently... as tempting as that was right now.

The angel could... only sigh. Sitting down properly, & moving the devil's head into her lap. Their more tears now, more from Suzanne, her beautiful face now just a river of sorrows, & Ann too, with little dibbles of tears forming at the edge of her primary eyes. Sue loved him, it was her first honest love, & Ann, for as much as Adam annoyed her, she still cared for him a great deal. What will they tell John & Rosa now? Adam just 'had' to be ripped away from them, & for what?

Rules & things you don't fully understand.

And for time unknowing, they did sit there. And simply allow their emotions out. Silent tears wept in the memory of a man who, though troubled extensively & acted crass, was good at heart. Who was loved in more then a single sense. Whom was never allowed happiness everlasting...

Amidst the sorrow, there is a joint venom in spoken. Amidst a echoing cosmos will with a choir of idols, false & true alike, there is the rumbling of unknown creature that stuck instantons fear into even the bravest of hearts. Something that could cause the weakest of creatures to possibly explode upon hearing it, it's a holy wrath heaven & hell alike would fear, an all consuming beast that washes down everything in scope. Suzanne more then ever just wanted to be the devil she is & destroy.

But she knows, they both very well know, that if they tried to intact that wrath upon the Heaven & Hell across the Cosmos, they are unlikely to survive. It is just that knowledge that's keeping Suzanne at bay, the knowledge that their father & mother would never recover if they lost one of their daughters, there is still people here who love her so much, losing her would do the same unrepairable damage to them that's be done to her.

But... if that rage overtakes the devil & she acts on it... the angel will go with her. Ann has always been at Suzanne's side, always, the term 'Ride or Die' fit the amount of loyalty they had to each other. So if Suzanne goes on a war path, Ann is going to follow her through it. They might not survive, but they will do damage unreversible to the Heaven that betrayed them & their own First Man, & the Hell that took him from this existence.

About Auto News Portal

Hi! My name is Steve Rogers – the founder of Auto News Portal. Before digging into my blog, let’s get to know about how I started this journey!

Remember the day when you were driving on a beautiful road, but then you noticed a strange smell in your car? What’s worse, it might stop, leaving you alone without any garage nearby. It sounds terrible, right? 

I was there once. I loved cars, but my passion wasn’t enough to encourage me to learn more about them. That accident was such a nightmare for me. 

Then I realized I could solve your car issues with a bit of knowledge about it, including repair and maintenance tips. Interestingly, many of them are available on the internet. 

I know that many people share the same thoughts. We drive cars a lot, but not all of us understand how important it is to handle our cars’ problems. And that’s why I came up with this blog. 

After years of researching, studying, and experimenting, I have collected many tips for car problem-solving, upkeep, and other auto issues you can avoid. 

Cars have their problems. Even a tiny fault will affect the whole system. But do not panic! I believe that my blog can help you with some. Then, you won’t have to encounter the same issue of being left confused and helpless. 

Hopefully, you will find the best way to fix your car problem on my blog. I keep it updated constantly to address all possible car issues. 

If you have any tips, do not forget to comment and share them with us. It’s how we build up a helpful community.

My Co-Worker – Christel Ann

Hi! My name is Christel Ann . Like Steve, I love cars and want to share my passion and knowledge with everyone. 

I worked in this sector for five years as an editor for a car website. With years of experience, I believe that I can help Steve build his blog and, ultimately, assist readers in solving their car problems. 

I have to work a lot in the garages to write my articles. I also talked with many experts in the industry. And, of course, I have learned some tips that car owners should know. 

Steve and I work every day to write blogs and upgrade our content. So feel free to contact us with questions about your beloved cars. We are always ready to assist you. 

Are you ready? It’s time to be a part of AutoNewsPortal. Let’s join our journey!

So what headcanons did you have to change thanks to the Journal?

I'm still working through everything but off the top of my head:

We know now that Sasha has siblings, a few step siblings from her Mom's long time boyfriend (and maybe a half-sibling) (by the phrasing Anne had for both of them moving on quickly kinda makes me wonder if they weren't cheating on each other and the other found out or something) and very likely a step-sibling or two from her Dad's remarriage. So at the very least I'm keeping the headcanon that Sasha's Dad had a son with his new wife when she was 16 and he and Sash are pretty close. Idk if I'll come up with names for her other siblings tho' (likely leave that for everyone else in the fandom).

Since Marcy moved to Massachusetts and not Connecticut, the headcanon that Marcy and Luz were classmates is changed but they're about roughly a 2-hour drive away from each other so its likely that they might've met at a local tri-state anime con (and then found out they're actually also friends online), so Marcy and Luz being friends after her move is still here just changed slightly. (also Luz being able to fly via her Palisman to visit Marcy depends on the ending on Owl House)

Originally headcanon'd that Terri (whom its great to have confirmed in ink and not just through interviews that they go by they/them) finds a way to contact Amphibia and makes that as a wedding present for the Trio but with how the journal ended it seems like its a 23rd Birthday present for Anne, however I headcanon that they only managed to open it enough to get something through and not a person, Anne then suggests they have someone build a portal generator on the other side, like two-sides of a bridge. So the Trio quickly write letters (and attach pics) and Terri takes them with a copy of the blueprints into the portal with a device that shoots off flares periodically. Eventually someone finds it and takes it to the Plantars (the device was addressed to "The Plantars, Wartwood, Frog Valley") and Polly looked at the blueprints and gathered a team and built it. By the time it was finished and ready and working, Terri gave them a hint at a surprise as a wedding gift for when the Trio got back from their honeymoon.

It's annoying we don't know Lady Olivia and Grime's last name but we can probably assume that Yunan's last name is Longclaw. According to the journal she seems to be ashamed of her cowardly father, so the headcanon that her parents were normal (compared to her) is out, so I'll try and figure out what the dynamic between Yunan and her parents are since it's likely Olivia would want to meet them before getting married.

According to the journal, Marcy was already a gamer before she and Anne became friends at age 3, so while Bee didn't introduce her to video games, he likely shared his favorite ones when Marcy would come to visit.

That's what I have so far. I'm still working through things and coming up with new ideas for comics that'll incorporate new headcanons and the like.
