THE TERROR (2018) S01E09 "The C, The C, The Open C"

If we are to deposit anything with a view to return at some later date, it will be things, not men. I'd rather we leave our tents behind and sleep two to a sack, like the orphans we are, than leave one man alone with last burdens. And I speak not only of James. I'll not leave any one of you alone either.

I am still and forever mad at Mozzie for burning Neal's art. I mean I guess maybe not all of them were originals, but still! They were HIS.

He presumably watched Neal work on some of them. Neal must have liked at least 1 of them. I am projecting onto Neal, I know, but I can't stand the thought of Neal just thinking "Oh. Ok, that's ok, they were garbage anyway, right?" Like, his self-deprecating must have been exacerbated, right?

But if he actually liked his work, imagine how awful that must be! They're all just. Gone. No one else ever saw them.

Some of them were kept in storage, so there must have been some pieces that he felt were worth hanging onto for some length of time.

I just think it was really shitty of Mozzie to do that without asking first.

Did Brambleclaw actually disown the Three when the secret is revealed? I don't remember this happening (then again, it's been a while) but it does bug me how all three go "Poor brambleclaw :(( He was such a good dad to us and he has to learn we're not even his biokits :(((( poor guy" while simultaneously shitting on Leafpool and Squirrelflight despite them showing them more care and affection before AND after the reveal. If he does disown them, then.... WOW is the double standard real here.

In-canon? It's something you have to approximate. They don't seem to have a concept of ""disowning"" because blood relation is taken as such an insurmountable, FUNDAMENTAL fact of life. He doesn't write them out of his little kitty will and testament, but his actions ARE disowning.

It's as if the fact he is not their biological father is an automatic disowning. From the reveal onwards, he is immediately cold, distant, and the "betrayal" is mentioned often. The Three also explicitly don't blame him for his behavior, like it's just to be expected that he's Not Their Dad anymore.

Lionblaze in particular stares longingly at him several times, really missing him. And like... that's kinda what gets my goat so much

I do believe Brambleclaw is entitled to his feelings of betrayal. I believe Squilf was ultimately in the right to lie, actually, but he's still allowed to be upset and angry that she didn't trust him enough to tell him something so important. THAT SAID, YOU ARE NEVER ENTITLED TO TREAT OTHERS POORLY.

And that's what GETS me. He isn't upset that it was all revealed in such a painful and embarassing way when this could have been avoided, or that his lover struggled with this lie for so long without him, or that he feels he's lost his children. Squilf points it out in The Last Hope-- He's so ANGRY at Squilf that he will THROW HIS FAMILY AWAY

Lionblaze seems desperate to be his son again. Hollyleaf is gone for months, and Brambleclaw is still huffing about the secret when she comes back from the dead. Squilf is fawning in the hopes it makes him talk to her again. Doesn't matter. Brambleclaw Is Upsetti Spaghetti so the narrative will never examine his role in hurting this family he apparently loved so much.

(Narrative seems to understand full well that when Squilf lies for a good reason, that doesn't invalidate the hurt Brambleclaw felt... but when Brambleclaw is upset for a good reason, it actually DOES validate what he put her and his kids through)

In BB it is explicitly a disowning. He cuts them off as his children, and they reciprocate. BB!Lionblaze does so in a ball of fury, vowing that he has ONLY a mother.

i'm being haunted by nightwing bruce

join me in my protective circle where we imagine a better world in which, given the event that someone has to temporarily take over for nightwing, it’s obviously tim drake in the suit.

beyond the fact that he has the skillset and a closer physique and that he’s not, to my knowledge, even up to anything right now, it would be so narratively satisfying! he was dick’s protégé! he’s currently trying to figure out his own identity and has always been both striving to be dick and also lurking in dick’s shadow! how would dick feel seeing tim put on another one of his suits and face down even more of his enemies! it would be such a good dynamic and heal so many wounds (including, on a meta level, offering the tiniest bit of redemption for dc doing ric grayson instead of putting tim in the suit the last time).

Toxic Radioapple fic idea

We all know how Lucifer feels about sinners and I don't think it's played with enough in radioapple fics so I was thinking...

Lucifer and Alastor are officially together everyone knows about them but Lucifer still hasn't gotten over his prejudice. He kind of puts Alastor on a pedestal, saying that he's better than other sinners, but still treating him like he is very much below him.

The other sinners in the hotel notice this and they even try to talk to Alastor about it because Lucifer barely even acknowledges them but Alastor doesn't listen.

Alastor isn't stupid he knows how Lucifer feels about sinners but he says he doesn't think of Alastor like that so isn't that a good thing?

Alastor slowly starts to spiral. He doesn't even realize that he starts to change to fit Lucifer's image of what he should be and when he finally does he blows up.

Alastor asks Lucifer why he even loves him in the first place. Lucifer can't answer.

I like to think that during pfl (using his s9 characterization, not s10) wash is the guy you go to when you want to know something (ah la a line in the fall of reach novel I believe where chief says the enlisted personnel always seem to know stuff bc wash is clearly enlisted).

he's in a position where he's privy to information from the higher-ups, and he's friendly enough with the lower rungs that he knows the gossip going around. as a bonus though, wash ain't no narc, so if you want that information you need to offer him something of equivalent exchange (consequently fueling the 'guy who knows things' thing). for example, north had to tell him about using equipment in the field in order to get him to tell him what his meeting with internals was about.

wash isn't the only guy who knows things, of course, but he's the guy who has the widest base of general knowledge. ct is also someone who knows things, but she's a lot more specific, and what she lacks in scale she more than makes up for with how in-depth her knowledge is. wash is where you learn about something from, ct is where you get all the juicy details (to the point of it almost being tmi). she also has an equivalent exchange policy, but people tend to be a bit more reluctant to get information from her because of what her knowledge is (and the borderline 'insane conspiracy theorist' energy doesn't help either).

florida? well...you don't wanna know what he knows. the cost is simply too high.

Jayce and Viktor and "Transcendent Love"

okay so I've been feeling really weird since act three came out about the way people talk about Jayce and Viktors love for each other and I was having a hard time verbalizing it, I apologize if this seems ranty (I mean it is lol). But it's something that has plagued my mind ever since I saw this sentiment.

So like. Characters can have a soulmate relationship, a relationship that sort of transcends platonic/romantic but also be gay and in love. Like. these things arent mutually exclusive. They are best friends, and they are in love. That's the point! When people act as if queer love diminishes a bond or makes it less interesting I'm like "Oh you're just homophobic covering your ass by trying to make some astute statement!" Like what exactly about queer love makes it so wrong to you that somehow a relationship being queer "ruins" it for you?!

I saw a couple things on twt speaking on this and I'd like to add onto the discussion already being had but like. Queer love isn't "unclean" it's not something that pollutes a relationship the way that some people view it as doing such. Like people view hetero love as this inherently clean or holy act and so, of course, when a hetero couple has a soulmate relationship it's entirely okay to point out that what they're doing is romantic in nature, but when it's queer it's somehow wrong to point out and explore the inherent romance? It's so odd to me. It boils down to cisheteronormativity, people's unwillingness to unpack their homophobic views. The people who can't accept Jayvik as gay are the same people who claim that what they're doing is somehow allyship, and that for any queer person to view them as gay they're somehow taking away from a well written relationship. But that's not True. Jayce and Viktor ARE gay! Their relationship IS queer (no matter your views on their sexuality, gender, or dynamic in general). The idea of a relationship that transcends typical labels is queer! It's relationship anarchy (to a degree)! It's queer!

they are gay and they are in love and they are LITERALLY joined together in death and they are soulmates and they find each other in every life and they are QUEER! it's QUEER! being gay doesn't take away from their dynamic at all and if you think it does you really need to pick apart your own views on gay relationships. Idk
