i don’t know if i’m ever gonna write the fic but i’ve been thinking abt like. the eternal stockade. the implications. lup, a lich who was trapped in a dark featureless cell for a decade completely isolated with nothing to keep her sanity but her own mind. she has to put people in the eternal stockade. how many liches does she see herself in. how many liches started out just like her. how many liches are truly too far gone. and the only liches we ever see other than her and barry are edward and lydia. they’re certainly evil, but mad? they seem pretty sane. they’re not, like, tattered echoes of souls, they’re definitely still people. even as much of a grudge as lup surely has against them, wouldn’t they remind her incredibly strongly of herself? do they deserve to be trapped just like she was? for eternity? isn’t eternity what turned john to existential despair in the first place?

i don't think we talk about what an absolute BANGER of a line Techno dropped on Quackity before their fight, post-execution

imagine: you're Quackity. you've been through fucking hell. you fought tooth and nail to get this country, traded sides as many times as you needed to, all to end up on the winning side. you finally are a part of L'Manburg, the real L'Manburg, a country of people and love and loyalty.

and there's a dark cloud hanging over your heads, one that cups wither skeletons in its hands and echoes with laughter and the sound of TNT. Technoblade is out there, and could come back at any second to ruin everything you've built. you fought for this, you've schemed for this-- hell, Tommy got exiled to protect this place.

so you decide to be proactive. you put together the Butcher's Army, you prepare for a fight and to kill a man because you'll do anything for this country. you push your young, stressed president into a bloodthirsty plan. you harass Philza, the grief-stricken father of your old rival and fallen president, and rob him, lock him in his home.

you track down Technoblade. you strike with the force of four men in full netherite, and you're losing. you get desperate, you threaten the horse that he loves, and it's the only thing that saves your lives. and you did it-- you've captured Technoblade, you've brought him in, and set him under an anvil. months of planning have paid off, and you're finally going to have retribution, the peace of knowing that's one less person out there who wants you and your home in ashes.

except you don't succeed. except a mercenary and the true ruler of the Greater SMP destroy your plans and Technoblade has a Totem of Undying and your execution is now a battle-- a battle you ignore, rushing through the smoke and blades and screams. because you saw Technoblade run.

you rush into the caves after him-- full netherite armor, axe drawn. you're going to end this yourself. this can't have all been for nothing.

and standing against him, declaring your intentions, he laughs, and simply asks:

"Did you really think... you could kill me that easily, Quackity?"

Like all you did, like all those months of planning and hours of scheming, all of your blood, sweat, and tears, weren't the best you could give? like everything you did wasn't with the full intention of ending this decisively? like all your work was nothing more than a rough few hours for him?

and you fight. and you lose. you lose to a man in iron armor and a pickaxe-- a pickaxe he puts through your face.

and nursing your wounds, staring at the ruins of a execution stage, you know he'll be back. and now, you know exactly how futile your efforts to stop him were-- and how much harder you have to try anyway, because there's nothing to do but desperately raise your shields against the falling of the axe, even when it's doomed to strike again

perhaps it is time to dust off the western omegaverse au with wolfwood. perhaps.

btw i completely understand why some fanders are frustrated by janus’ current mischaracterization but i just want y’all to remember that the other sides changed a lot too, in the course of the series, and not necessarily because of organic character development or a planned out arc

[saints-who-never-existed]

I do feel the need to talk just a little bit more about Tozer's weird reluctance to challenge or act against Hickey actually.

"This needn't be a second mutiny." he says.

But why the fuck not, Solomon?

You've literally already committed a mutiny! Why why WHY are you suddenly drawing a line in the sand at the idea of committing another one?

You were willing to set yourself in opposition to the Royal Navy, to the whole British fuckin' Empire, really! So why are you now so unwilling to/incapable of railing against the will of just one single strange wee man?

There's a lot of talk about the "magical cure" trope in relation to disability and ableism, but imo when media goes too hard the other way.... i don't feel too good about it either. There's almost a feeling that we *shouldn't* have escapist, hopeful fantasies. Oh this fictional character got a magical cure? Nope, that's bad! Back to being a cripple. It's almost painted like a moral punishment. Idk. Halfbaked thoughts, but that gut feeling has been there.

The thing that sucks about misogyny is that it's not just a problem for one group of people or one gender group. If you want to combat bigotries, you (impersonal) have to not come at it from the angle of bigotry as an identity you have, but as a set of beliefs and actions. To be a misogynist isn't an identity like being gay or a similarly deep and personal identity. A misogynist is somebody who believes in and acts upon misogynistic ideas, myths, or any other such thing.

This goes for pretty much any bigotry, and the idea of bigotry as identity does us all a disservice, especially if you turn the bigotry into essentialism. When you essentialize bigotry in a certain group of people, you empower people to keep said bigotry unchecked and uninterrogated. That does everyone a disservice.
