I sighed as I heard a loud knock on my front door. Grabbing the bag of flour I made my way to the door assuming it was just my neighbor Marcy wanting some for baking again. The girl never seemed to have any and always came over for mine which I didn’t mind. I just started buying more when I would go to the store. 

“Marcy hun you should really just-” I froze as I saw Strange on the other side of the door and a young girl stood next to him.

“y/n nice to see you.” He spoke. With a sigh I sat the flour down on the small table by the door before inviting them in.

“Tea?” I asked while making my way into the kitchen as they both followed after me. The young girl politely nodded her head and took a seat at the island along with Strange who sat a very old looking book down on the countertop.

It was silent for a minute. The only sound being me getting down three mugs and the teapot whistling on the stove. 

I sat the tea in front of the two along with some sugar as I took to standing across from them.

“What do you need Strange?” My tone came out more bitter than I wanted it to but I couldn’t help it. After I left what remained of the Avengers I had hoped I would never have to see his face or any of theirs ever again. That's why I moved to Ohio so that I would be away from the never ending drama that is New York and to be close to my sister's grave.

“I- We need your help. This Is America Chavez. She’s able to travel the multiverse.” With those words I choked on my tea.

“The multiverse?” I questioned not trusting my ears to have heard the right thing.

“Yes. You know about it?” He asks as he and the girl, America, looked at each other.

“Vision often talked of his theories during movie nights” The word Vision seemed to make me scowl remembering how he got the life with the person I had loved. The person who was supposed to be my wife. 

“You said Wanda said the same thing” This was the first time the girl had spoken and the way she said Wanda had made your whole body shiver. It was as if she was scared of the woman.

“You spoke to her?” I hadn’t heard anything of her since that night I left. I expected to at least see something about her on the news but she never came up. 

“Yeah. She’s after me. She’s been sending these weird creatures after me to take my powers.” America explained as she fiddled with the mug.

“She has the dark hold y/n” The words caused me to stiffen. I had only heard of the dark hold a few times while I was studying with Strange but I knew it was nothing good. It was described as the book of the damned and anyone who touched it became corrupted. “I need your help in protecting America. Yours and Wanda’s magic are almost complete opposites. While hers is chaos magic while yours is Order magic.” The two shared another look as if they both knew something I didn’t. I watched as Strange opened the book he had brought and flipped to a page. “With the help of the darkhold Wanda has become the Scarlet Witch. Everything anyone had ever known about her is written in this book like a prophecy.” I nodded as I listened to his words. “It also speaks of yours.” He slides the book over to me and setting my tea down I quickly read the page he had opened to. 

The Scarlet Witch bringer of chaos and the White Fawn bringer of life and creation:

The Scarlet Witch is not born; she is forged. She has no coven or need for incantation. Her power exceeds that of the Sorcerer Supreme. It is her destiny to destroy the world. 

The White Fawn is the opposite of the chaos bringer. She is born to counteract the actions of the Scarlet Witch. Her destiny is to heal the wounds, love, and calm the Chaos Witch.

My eyes scanned the page three more times before I slammed the book shut. I watched as America jumped in her seat and I sent her an apologetic smile as I slid the book back to Strange. 

“That can’t be right or it can’t be me. Wanda does not love me. I will not let my destiny be what is written in some book. What is she even after in the multiverse?” My question seemed to keep Strange quiet for a moment before he spoke.

“You”

Royal Family of House of Lenz-Aurgelmir

(Artist La_Maryd13)

An art I commission from Maryd13, from my AU Elduschland, which, ironically, this pic is also an AU of Elduschland. (Liberio Treaty AU: Queen Historia and Ymir went to Liberio, along allied delegates, to propose a peace treaty between them and Marley and manages to get it sign). In the Liberio Treaty AU, Historia and Ymir's daughter will be grown-up -they're still teenagers in this pic- and will be living during the time of Titans.

Here are their daughters' name and lore.

Frieda (15). The oldest, and therefore, the Crown Princess, and first in line for the throne. Being very devoted to her duties and is a service woman of the Scout Regiment (it's supposed to have a different name). She is a Hrailgner, meaning she wields one of the 9 (?) Titan with specific power and proper name, an elnar-class (15 meter) called Fenrir. She, like Ymir, Eren, and Zeke, is immune to the Curse.

Hannah (14). Second youngest daughter and twin sister to Wilhelm, she is in the military academy-a prestige one- and training to be a fighter pilot (ignore the sigil on her uniform). She's enthusiastic, easygoing and laid back, charismatic, and once she got older, a know player. She even earned a soubriquet, The Conquerer, and got into a polyamory (a man and a woman; she's bi) in her squad.

Wilhelm ( 14). Their only son and Hannah twin brother, Wilhelm is actually a trans man (well, transboy) and is in the military academy along with his sister. Unlike Hannah, Wilhelm joined the navy (again, ignore the sigil) once he's graduated, serving aboard a destroyer, and then a battlecruiser. There's a joke amongst the military and noble that Wilhelm is Historia and Ymir's least favorite children since they forced more on their Air Force than the Navy (oof). Wilhelm is the opposite of Hannah: more serious, stoic, and disciplined. While Hannah is bi, Wilhelm is gay.

Estrella (13). Their third daughter, Estrella has huge self-esteem issue: with having so many siblings (and the issue with their youngest sister), Historia and Ymir didn't pay as much attention to her, giving Estrella's huge mommy issue. Instead of joining a military academy, she becomes a socialite and romancing with Connie and Nkiruka's (nicknamed Kiki; my ofc) biracial son.

Marcille (11; I just realized other than Marcille, all four children were named after someone. Weird). The youngest of all the siblings, Marcille (or her nickname Marcy; yeah, i based her on Marcy Wu lol) is energetic, intelligent, and a mommy girl. Yet she is also easily distracted (she once went missing for almost a day while hiking with her siblings because something caught her attention), oblivious, and occasionally vocally muted. She has hyperfixation on amphibians, especially newts. The reason is that she has autism and Historia gives her the most attention, much to Estrella chagrin.

Ymir is the father to all five children. If you wondering how she's, is from both the Shawl Theory and this exchange:

Ymir: Eren, I need you to use your founding power to help me and historia to have children.

Eren: Sure, here's a penis.

Ymir: ... not exactly what I have in mind but I take it!

Let Me Be

Martha X GN Reader

Summary: A Martha Marcy May Marlene Christmas special ;)

A/N: I dedicate this one to @gingerninja-93 @aloneodi @therealdisneyfan2319 @kram6496 @jgmg10 @jacelion @imaginationeuphoria and everybody who read my fics. All of you are awesome!

Christmas

The holiday when family unites, have a great time and the most fun, get presents! But most importantly, the family members have a memorable time that can be described as warming.

Every house on this day only radiates happiness. Christmas is a happy holiday, after all. But when people have gone through so much, their fears tend to get the best of them.

This is what is happening today at Martha's and Y/N's households.

-

Y/N opened their eyes after a long sleep, eyes darting straight to the ceiling of their shared cozy bedroom. They stretched their arms to their left only to feel that side of the bed empty.

The only thing they felt was the humid-like feeling of the bed sheet. They sighed. They quickly connected the dots to what happened.

They got up from the bed, went to the closet, picked up a towel, and headed to the bathroom.

Once inside the bathroom, Y/N's theory was confirmed: Martha had awakened before them.

They proceeded to brush their teeth and take a shower. The warm water falling from the showerhead and eventually soaking their body relaxed them.

Y/N stepped out of the bathroom as they dried themselves with a towel. They picked a navy blue long-sleeve t-shirt and blue jeans, which they completed with brown ankle boots.

Before they made their way out of the bedroom, they opened one of the drawers, moved some stuff out of the way, and pulled out a red velvet box.

Next to the box was a small note that read:

Don't worry much; she'll say yes. Beware my speech for you tonight.

- Lucy

Y/N smiled at the last sentence. It was heartwarming to see how Lucy cared for her sister. They crumbled the paper as they focused on the red velvet box.

They opened the box containing an engagement ring surrounded by emerald-cut diamonds. They saved up to buy it and asked Lucy to help them pick the best ring.

Lucy was the only person who knew that Y/N planned to propose to Martha on Christmas Eve. They had managed to keep it a secret from Martha, or at least they hoped.

They didn't like keeping secrets from Martha, but they made an exception in this case.

They closed the box, slid it into their pocket, and made their way out of the bedroom and into the living room.

As they entered the living room, they noticed the brown-haired woman whose hair barely touched her shoulders. She wore some gray pants, but her red cardigan stood out the most.

They smiled at the view of the woman they truly loved. They went to comfort her. They knew damn well how she was feeling.

Y/N approached Martha, sitting on the carpeted floor in front of the Christmas tree the couple had decorated together a week ago.

They sat to her right on the carpeted floor. Martha held a small ornament of 'Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer'. She was observing as her thumb slowly caressed it.

"Nightmares again?" Y/N questioned in a soft tone.

Martha didn't respond. She kept her eyes on the ornament she was holding.

Y/N sighed. Martha would close off whenever she had nightmares, which happened very often. It would take some time before she would open up. They couldn't blame her for it because they would also try their best to avoid talking about the nightmares they get from time to time.

"It's ok, baby if you don't want to speak now." Y/N continued, "I understand how you feel."

Despite looking like she wasn't listening to Y/N, Martha was very attentive to their words. Their words sounded simple, but they meant a lot to her.

"They're the same nightmares," Martha said unemotionally.

"It's ok, Marty." Marty was the term of endearment Y/N called Martha. "You must remember that those nightmares are caused by stress and anxiety. They're fake." Y/N placed their hand on Martha's back to comfort her.

Martha's eyes darted straight to Y/N's.

"I know, and I'm sorry. It's just that they get the best of me most of the time." Martha murmured.

"You have nothing to apologize for." Y/N started stroking her back. "Just don't let those nightmares ruin your day. It's Christmas, after all."

Martha smiled and rested her head on Y/N's shoulder as they stroked her silky hair. She was glad to have them by her side. They were the only ones who understood what she had been through and how she felt about it.

Y/N rested their head on hers. "How about we go to the mall to buy something nice for your niece." They suggested.

She removed her head from their shoulder and gave them a weird look. Martha had started to go to places accompanied by Y/N slowly but was still wary of going out. She was afraid of encountering her past. Martha wasn't scared of what they would do to her; she was afraid they would try to harm Y/N.

"It will be ok, Marty. We'll stick together the whole time." Y/N reassured. "Go get ready while I wait here." They beamed a smile.

Martha put the ornament down and got up from the carpeted floor. It was evident that her mood had improved. She stopped and looked back as she made her way to the bedroom.

"Y/N," She called their name as they hummed in question.

"Don't abandon me," Martha said as she locked eyes with Y/N.

"Never."

-

Y/N was surprised to see that Martha had enjoyed herself in the mall. They both visited many stores and even shared an ice cream. Martha ended up buying a black dress and a doll for her niece. Y/N helped her wrap it when they got back home.

One thing that stuck with Y/N was how Martha had played 'hide n seek'. She ran inside a toy store and waited for Y/N to find her. It was a sign of improvement.

Y/N was finishing dressing up as they looked at themselves one last time in the mirror. They had never been to those upper-class social parties. So this was a whole new experience for them.

After spraying perfume, they walked out of the room expecting to see Martha excited. It was the contrary.

Martha was sitting on the edge of the couch. Emotionless. Similar to how she was this morning. She was wearing the black dress she had gotten at the mall. Next to her is a makeup bag. It was rare when she used any cosmetics.

Y/N walked to the couch and sat next to her.

"You need help with the makeup?" Y/N asked, trying to distract her from whatever was on her mind.

"Last time I was at one of these, it didn't end too well." Unlike the morning, she had spoken her mind this time.

"Marty, we don't have to go if you don't want to." Y/N turned their body to face her. "You being happy is the best present I could have for Christmas."

Martha looked at them, her eyes getting watery. "I don't deserve you; you deserve better." She said in a trembling voice as some tears rolled down her cheek.

Y/N couldn't hold it anymore. They knew they were supposed to do it over at Lucy's house. But this was when they wanted to tell her how much she meant to them.

They got on their knees in front of her and grabbed both her hands.

"Martha, ever since I met you. I immediately knew you were special in many ways. One of those is that you're a strong woman who deserves everything good life can give her." They brushed away tears falling from her face. "I know that you were taken advantage of by people who claimed to care for you. They made you believe that many things are fake, and it's time we leave them in the past."

Y/N reached for their pocket and brought out the red velvet box. Martha was left in awe expression when she saw it was a ring.

"I want you to let me be the person who will take away your fears because I will be here to protect you. The person who will teach you that you deserve this and much more. But most importantly, let me be the person who will always love you no matter what." Y/N grabbed Martha's left hand and gently slid the ring onto her finger. "Let me be your partner in this life."

Martha's face was now covered in tears. This time the tears were of happiness.

"This all I ever wanted with you," Martha said in a low sweet voice.

Y/N rose a little and connected their lips with Martha's. They were feeling each other's lips. Enjoying the moment This was all they both had ever wanted. To have someone that would love them till the end of their days.

As they broke the kiss, Y/N stood from the floor and sat next to Martha on the couch. Pulling her close to them in the process.

"Can we stay?" Martha asked as she relaxed onto Y/N. "I want to savor this moment."

"Of course, Marty. Your happiness is also my happiness."

Y/N and Martha still had many obstacles to overcome, but it did not matter now. They had just written a new chapter to their story on Christmas Eve.

A/N: Thanks for reading! I, LifeSpectator, wish you all some Happy Holidays :)

[thisbelongsto-nohbodys]

Who, according to you, are the most relevant 'minor characters' of Amphibia that had a HUGE potential for sublot and character development, but never got as much as they should have deserved? Excluding the Calamity Trio, of course.

There's a number of them so I'll divide them up:

Frogs:

Maddie had a lot of potential, both before and after Marcy. Her being engaged to Sprig was interesting and we could've seen them hang out a few times and even after the engagement was broken off Maddie said she "can't wait to hang out again" and we never did. Then when it came to her and Marcy it'd've been cool to see her and Marcy exchange alchemy notes and strengthen their magic, which considering the dark arts isn't a 100% hated thing unlike on Earth, imagine if we'd've gotten an ep of another witch testing Maddie's skills.

Ivy being Sprig's girlfriend, ya'd think that she'd have more screentime but nope. It would've been cool to learn more about her and Felicia (and if the fan theory of Wally being Ivy's dad was true or not). If we got another Sasha ep in S3A it would've been cool to see her and Ivy bonding (adding more to the Sashanne parallels).

Toads:

Beatrix is Grime's big sister and it would've been great to learn more about her and by association Grime. She was also a Captain of a Toad Tower, so how different was her and Grime's leadership styles. Not to mention if she was also a gladiator along with Grime. Then when the war happened, what she was up to along with the other Toad Captains.

Newts:

Lady Olivia would have been great to learn about. Be it more about her mom and the duty Olivia put on herself to honor her mom, her childhood living in the castle (and meeting the Moss Men), her doing any diplomatic missions, etc etc.

General Yunan would've been fun to see more of. I did a post recently that talks a bit about that tho'

Humans:

Terri and Dr. Jan was such a chaotic duo on the FBI raid mission that it would've been great to see more of them (and a blossoming romance). Them working together to explore artifacts for Amphibian clues and figuring out how to make the portal.

Mr and Mrs Waybright/Wu even if for a single episode it would've been nice to know how the disappearance of their daughters effected them. To understand a bit more in why Sasha and Marcy are the way they are/were. Marcy likely having a academically strict household, Sasha likely being mostly forgotten between her parent's new lives with their partners and Sasha's step-siblings/half-siblings. Would Anne see them? Would they resent the Boonchuys for having Anne back but not their own daughter? Would the ep just be them on their own? What's their first name (so we can stop typing Mr/Mrs Waybright/Wu all the time)?

Stranger Things SIX Review

Warning: The following review contains MAJOR SPOILERS from Stranger Things Six, as well as Stranger Things Season 4.

Out of all the tie-in comics, this is the one that caught my attention just by the cover and premise. When it comes to Stranger Things, I’ve always been invested in its mythology (i.e. the Upside Down, the monsters, the secret lab, the kids with special abilities, etc). So a comic like this, which centers around Hawkins Lab and Dr. Brenner (who’s one of my favorite villains from the show) was something I was looking forward to.

And the results have been..............mixed.

The story focuses on a girl named Francine/Six who came from an abusive home where she was exploited by her parents for her gift of seeing into the future. One day, she meets a boy named Ricky (AKA Number 3) whom she ends up developing a friendship with. After finding out about Francine's situation and how her dad beats her, Ricky introduces her to Dr. Brenner, who encourages both Ricky and Francine to come to Hawkins Lab under the guise that their gifts could help countless people if they were given an environment to develop their powers. However, during their time at the Lab, they realize Brenner and the people working under him don’t have their best interests in mind, and are attempting to weaponize them and the other kids. Meanwhile, Six/Francine begins having visions of a monster (AKA the Demogorgon) from the Upside Down. While she doesn’t understand what the monster is, she fears it’s part of a dark future for her, which only motivates her desire to break out of the lab before it’s too late.

Observations:

As far as comics go, it’s adequate. The artwork is decent, and the plot moves at a brisk pace. It should be a fast read for most people.

The characters aren’t as fleshed-out as they could be, but it’s still cool to see other psychokinetic kids get expanded upon besides El, Kali, and Henry/One/Vecna. Ricky/Three is the boyfriend of Francine/Six and has the ability to emotionally manipulate others into doing what he wants them to do. Jamie/Nine is gifted in pyrokinesis/heat generation. Jamie also has a twin sister named Marcy, who isn’t gifted but was brought to the lab since she and Jamie are orphans and as another way for Brenner to keep control over Jamie.

Francine/Six’s visions about the Demogorgon turn out to be a red herring. She never physically encounters the monster, nor does she ever discover the mystery behind it or the Upside Down. It’s mostly there to serve as a call-back to the show, and as one more motivator for Six to escape the lab.

There’s an implication that Six’s powers, as well as the powers of other psychokinetic kids, may be connected to the Upside Down. This is something that’s also explored in the novel Stranger Things Suspicious Minds where Alice Johnson (one of Terry Ives’s friends) was being experimented on at Hawkins Lab and began having similar visions of the Upside Down and the Demogorgon. I’ve had a theory for a while that the Upside Down is somehow linked to the powers that individuals like El, Kali, and Henry/One/Vecna harness. I especially think it could be true in Henry’s case when he moved into the Creel House with his family and began developing his abilities. I don’t know if there was some sort of crack between the Creel House and the Upside Down (not big enough that anything like a Demogorgon could get through, but small enough that a malicious presence on the other side could have influence a young Henry) but I believe something happened that activated Henry when he was near the clock, which allowed him to start using his powers.

I also find it convenient how El later banished Henry/One/Vecna to the Upside Down of all places once she tapped into her full strength.

I don’t know whether or not the Upside Down is directly responsible for these kids having gifts, but I believe there's a link between them. I wonder if season 5 will expand on this, or if it’s just a theory that won’t come to fruition.

The comic itself takes place in 1978, about a year before Vecna’s massacre. It's mentioned in an interview by the Duffer Brothers that when they first began writing the show, they already had the idea that all of the kids with special abilities (with the exceptions of El and Kali) were dead prior to the start of season 1:

MATT DUFFER: We always knew that the other kids with the exception of Eight were dead. We always wanted to explore that and exactly what happened. It became a challenge because we knew we wanted to tell that story but it’s basically an origin flashback story. How do you keep that feeling relevant to what’s happening in the season, so when you cut to it, you feel like there’s some sort of forward progression and a connection? We knew it was going to connect ultimately to One.

There was also this tidbit regarding the comics and Henry/One/Vecna:

ROSS DUFFER: It’s funny, because there are various comic books and side merchandise and whenever they come to us with those ideas, we would say, you can take any number but you cannot take One. One is ours. So, that’s been ongoing for the seven years we’ve been working on it, that just don’t do anything with One. We’ve been protecting that [revelation]. It is a relief to finally get him out into the world.

Based on this, I assume the Duffer Brothers told Jody Houser and Dark Horse Comics that if they were going to do a story focusing on the psychokinetic kids at the lab, it had to be set before 1979.

This remark from Jamie/Nine caught my attention when I was reading:

The implication I took from her "babies" comment is there were different generations of gifted people at the lab........which makes sense. It's been mentioned Brenner founded the MK Ultra program in 1953. Henry Creel would later fall into Dr. Brenner's care in 1959, Terry Ives and her friends wouldn't be experimented on until 1969, and El wouldn't be born until a year or two later. I'm assuming there were separate age groups in the 25+ years since MK Ultra was started, and that the "babies" Jamie/Nine was referring to were a group of special kids younger than them.

On top of that, the comic presents the idea that not all of the kids at the lab were kidnapped the same way El and Kali were. Ricky was initially a willing participant in the program, Francine was persuaded by Dr. Brenner to join them, and both Jamie and Marcy were taken in after a fire destroyed their home and killed their parents.

Brenner also claims that the United States isn’t the only country developing programs like the one at Hawkins Lab:

I'm assuming Brenner was thinking about the Russians when he said this, and (incorrectly) believed they also had kids with dangerous powers who were being weaponized against the U.S. It adds another layer to his motivations for pushing the kids at Hawkins Lab beyond their limits.

There is a major continuity error that bugs me: At the end of the comic, Francine, Ricky, and Marcy attempt to escape the lab. The reason they're able to is because Terry Ives (El's mom) breaks into the lab on the same day to rescue El:

The problem is that people who’ve worked on the show, such as makeup artist Amy L. Forsythe, have confirmed that Terry's failed attempt to rescue El took place in 1974. This is also supported by the twin actresses who played El in the season 2 flashback being about 3-4 years old when they filmed that scene (which canonically lines up with how old El should have been during that year). I can't tell if this was a screw up from the comic book writers, or if it's a retcon that came from the show. Regardless, it’s still a glaring plot-hole.

There’s also the fact that in season 4, all the kids (with the exception of Kali/Eight) are accounted for. Numbers 3, 6, and 9 are different from the ones presented in the comic. This is Six from Season 4:

And these are what the other test subjects on the show look like:

So unless Brenner somehow replaced Ricky, Francine, and Jamie with other kids who would take the positions of Numbers 3, 6, and 9 within a year before Vecna’s massacre of the lab, the implication is the events in this comic (as well as its sequel Into the Fire) never happened.

And this brings me to my biggest problem with Stranger Things SIX: Because it’s likely not canon given the direction the show went in season 4 (as well as the continuity errors present in the comic itself), it makes it hard to get invested in the story. Characters like Ricky, Jamie, Marcy, and Francine aren’t going to play any important roles in the show, and it’s doubtful they’ll appear in season 5. It’s possible to view this story as some sort of existing legend surrounding the lab if you’re looking for a way to tie this comic into the overall franchise (similar to the folklore stories present in the novel Hawkins Horrors) but that’s about it.

I do think it’s important to view this comic more through the lens of what it tells us about the ideas the writers had surrounding Hawkins Lab, Dr. Brenner’s treatment of the kids at the lab (which is just as abusive in the comics as it is on the show), and whatever connection supposedly exists between the psychokinetic kids and the Upside Down. On top of that, the Duffer Brothers have stated they plan to give more insight into the MK Ultra program under Brenner in season 5:

DEADLINE: Did Dr. Martin Brenner not know that this kid killed his family and framed his father, or did this kid’s sociopathic potential offer Brenner an opportunity to really mold a weapon without a conscience?

MATT DUFFER: The second, really. He knew what this kid did and also what he was capable of when he was young. Brenner’s going, how can I mold this character, but not just into a weapon? That’s really how he sold it to the government, but for him as a scientist, it’s like, what other worlds can this kid show me about how our universe works? So, he’s really just that scientist who’s not really thinking about the consequences. He just keeps pushing, pushing, pushing, and he’s using the government’s money by saying hey we can fight the Soviets with this kid. It’s something we will get into in Season 5. What happened to that program once Henry became involved and how Brenner evolved it into including multiple kids. We’re going to go back and see some of that in Season 5.

I am definitely looking forward to that.

Overall, I’m glad I read this comic (though I wish I’d gotten it for a cheaper price), but it’s not my favorite.

CW/TW: Mentions of mothers dying for their children

"Welcome home. you reek like smoke." Marci's easy smile disappeared when he turned around and saw  his mate. His cup was placed aside as he took quick decisive steps towards Ambrose. "What happened? Are you hurt?"

Ambrose flinched at the words realizing he must look worse than he thought. he lifted one hand to hold Marci's hand as the werewolf cupped his face. Ambrose watched as the wolf's nostril's flared while he scented the air curiously. A confused frown crossing his face as he looked down at the small bundle cradled in Ambrose's arm. Blood and fire were dominant, the scent of fresh grave dirt that always clung to the vampire wafted from the vampire's coat but there was something beneath it that Marci couldn't quite place but it tickled at the back of his senses with curious familiarity that he couldn't['t place. 

"I found someone." Ambrose said slowly tipping his precious bundle away from his body so that Marci would be able to see beneath the folds of the cloak and see the child he had brought home. 

Marci jerked back in surprise. His nostrils flared with the scents again and he looked down at the baby then back up at Ambrose before quickly dropping his eyes down again.  Ambrose watched as his mate's nostrils flared while he sorted through the new and old scents. 

"He has no one else." Ambrose said slowly meeting Marci's gaze with his own steady stare. Marci wrinkled his nose and sneezed slightly to clear the scents irritating his sinuses. For a moment Ambrose worried that Marci would reject the small hybrid pup but then Marci stepped forward and scooped the pup from Ambrose's arms.

"Go shower." Marci commanded pulling the pup close and nuzzling against the child, scenting him firmly. "We'll talk when you get done and I've got him put down for the night."

Ambrose sighed, relaxing his shoulders knowing his family orientated mate would  take care of the pup and they would have no problem with the new addition to their family.

When Ambrose started towards the master bedroom after his shower he stopped at the nursery door, surprised to see that Marci had gotten it set up with supplies from the attic so quickly. He narrowed his eyes at the crib when it appeared to have two lumps instead of one that he suspected.

"His mother was shot by a hunter." Marci spoke behind him causing Ambrose to jump slightly. "Tis and one of her friends found her hiking. She was polymorphed into a deer. Tis came and got me and I tracked the fawn down."

"Fawn?" Ambrose turned his head wondering if his mate had finally lost it and brought a wild animal home.

"Yeah, faun fawn." Marci shrugged his shoulders when Ambrose turned to look at him with an unimpressed stare. "So I already had all the stuff out after all."

Ambrose sighed  heavily running his fingers through his hair and looking into the room. "They're gonna be terrors. All your children are."

Marci grinned and gave a shrug but the grin slowly melted from his face. "His mother....what happened to her?"

"I don't know fully." Ambrose reached out and slid a hand around his mate's shoulders as they walked towards their room. "

"You have theories."

"Yes. But they are not pleasant. Who was she?"

"My littermate...my sister."

Ambrose closed his eyes and tipped his head back. He had suspected as much but he wasn't sure it was better having it confirmed or not.. "Do you really want to know?"

"I have to." Marci said firmly curling into their bed and dragging his mate down with him. He curled against his side and waited for the vampire to gather his thoughts. Marci wished he could avoid learning what Ambrose thought but he couldn't quite bring himself to stop the other man from speaking either. He could tell the knowledge weighted heavily on his mate's mind. f He hoped it might lessen his pain. He could nearly taste the salt on the air as Ambrose cried.

iZombie Pilot differences

(Well, the 2nd draft at least XD) 

https://www.scriptslug.com/script/izombie-101-pilot-2015

Just random things that caught my attention:

Olivia “Liv” Moore (27). Rose has the same age as her character while filming season 1.

She’s transitioned from bright, blonde. I wonder why they put Rose McIver natural blonde into a brunette. More contrast with the transition? Ironically, her “human” costume has Rose with her natural hair.

Clive Babinaux (30). Malcolm was 33 while filming.

Think Shaft as channelled through Jordan Peele. He's that rare combination of self-aware and super-fly. Cleavon Little in BLAZING SADDLES. I don’t get these references since I didn’t watch any of this movies, but Clive was much more serious and focused in “our” pilot.

Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti (40s). Wow, Ravi was way older than our Ravi. Rahul was 30 while filming. Thankfully we didn’t have another Hollywoodesque 10 years gap with any of the potential love interests (at this point, on paper Liv or Peyton). Also, since Rahul isn’t into “brown characters casting calls” and the age, I wonder if Ravi was the original name or if they changed the name and background after hiring the actor.

Think Simon Pegg’s “Scotty” in the Star Trek movies. A high energy, enthusiastic nerd, who has a brilliant mind that isn’t equipped with a filter or an off switch. He has an endearing lack of interpersonal skills and a genuine enthusiasm for unknown and unexplained. Conspiracy theories and unsolved mysteries are his porn. I’m glad we didn’t get another Sheldon or House.

Major Lilywhite (28). Robert Buckley was 34 while filming. A bit older than Liv but better than most of media. (Yes. I fucking hate late 30s/40s actors banging twentysomethings, specially since actresses are pretty fucked up when they turn 30).

A former University of Washington strong safety turned environmental engineer. The social worker turned Lord Commander was cooler.

Peyton Charles (26). Aly Michalka was 26 while filming.

They shared a love of lists and plans and predominately socialized while burning calories. Fuuuuuuuuck that. I wouldn’t handle another pretty best friend playing fatshaming into the audience. The deconstruction of using gorgeous Aly instead of “the chick” as the more stable, serious brain of the pair for me was refreshing. Even when she was “the damsel in distress” she was because she was overpowered by far.

That’s why seeing her daughter turn from ambitious super-achiever into zombiefied couch potato. Sorry. I laughed so hard with “zombified couch potato”. I think I’m going to make this my personal motto.

Evan Moore (16). Liv’s 16-year-old brother wants to be the next Dylan which is tough when your mom expects you to be the next Elon Musk. What. I didn’t expect this.

He’s a bit ashamed that he may like his sister Liv a bit better now that she’s changed into this new version that doesn’t remind himself so much of his mother. Screaming into the void forever for all the potential wasted in the Moore family that we never got.

Blaine DeBeers (28). David Ander was 34 while filming.

He’s the wussy, polo shirt with the collar up, selfimportant jerk who makes the jump from run of the mill spoiled asshole to completely evil crime lord. Probably David gives too much of evil lord or dangerous sociopath since the beginning to make him be a frat boy. I mean, the yellow plastic jacket was too much but a polo shirt? What a disgrace.

EXT. LAKE WASHINGTON, SEATTLE - NIGHT CAMERA FLIES ACROSS THE SURFACE OF LAKE WASHINGTON toward a dozen party boats tied together in such a way that people can just step from one boat to the next -- Lake Havasu-style. Wow, that looked so cool. I suppose we didn’t get it for budget reasons. Also no Marcy/Major introductory scene.

SLOW MOTION SHOT of Liv running straight at camera trying to cross the 20 feet that mean a chance at survival, a look of determination on her face. Pilot Liv was braver than Our Liv. And also snarkier.

REVEAL LIV, still hot, but now shockingly pale with nearly white hair. Still hot? Ugh.

Peyton leads her to an EMPTY CHAIR across from where the rest of them are sitting, then takes her seat with the group. The intervention was heavier. Liv’s inner dialogue also changes a bit more during the full original pilot.

DR. RAVI CHAKRABARTI (30s, nebbish, high-energy.). The age change here again. A mistake?

She turns to find BLAINE (late 20s, entitled, wearing a “Hugs Not Drugs” shirt.) He leans in close, his mouth by her ear, pulls plastic vials from his pocket. Blaine “no personal space” DeBeers XD

Liv throws her beer in his face. Blaine takes a menacing step toward Liv when he is tackled by a zombie. Liv shrieks, looks up, and sees the rolling zombie outbreak coming at her. This Blaine is more aggressive and his zombie origin story is different.

We return to the moment of Liv hiding under the boat railing surrounded by zombie chaos. Hid under a boat railing instead a table. I suppose budget again.

The last person she sees is BLAINE who is now a zombie. He’s left a bloody scratch down her arm. Liv wrenches free, but in doing so, bangs her head against the side of the boat and slips into the water. Different than rolling backwards to the water.

Suddenly, the blackness rips open revealing the NIGHT SKY and FLASHING RED LIGHTS. She wakes up in the night instead of the day.

Liv finishes up her story. LIV So, I hung out a while, chatted with the EMT. Made sure he had the correct spelling of my name. (off Ravi’s stare) I’m kidding. I took off. Pilot Liv craked a joke instead of “The EMT was too upset about having accidentally bagged a “living” girl to ponder any other possibilities”.

RAVI So you feel normal after you feed? LIV (smirks) Feed? -- like an animal? RAVI Sorry -- poor word choice. LIV No worries. It’s probably accurate. Truth is... I never feel normal. I don’t think I’ve slept in five months... And trust me, zombie-ism has its side effects. RAVI The Tabasco? LIV Pretty much the only way I can taste anything is if it would have at least six chili peppers next to it on a menu. The Liv-Ravi conversation was different and longer.

As Liv passes the open door of Peyton’s room, she spots a SORORITY MUG FULL OF PENS on a nearby bookshelf. She grabs the pens and continues towards the kitchen. (NOTE: This is the first of several beats of Liv impulsively swiping random objects. We’re not sure why but it will become clear later.). In our pilot Peyton asked where the pens were, here we can see how she steals them.

Too long to put in here, but there’s a full Lillymoore scene deleted in which Liv gets a bit jealous, rambles about a true love relationship and sex with a zombie, another in which the vision is different and another with Liv with concerned Evan scene deleted.

KTAU news. With Roxanna Bull. Tom Vasquez. Bill Sylvester with sports and Johnny Raines with weather. Johnny Frost was Johnny Raines and worked in channel 7 instead of 11.

Ravi and Liv sit at Clive’s desk. Ravi taps away on his phone (...). Ravi was with Liv initially at Clive’s desk scene and during Johnny’s scene. Also the conversation was way longer.

Tatiana was called Paulina Wojcinski and was Polish instead of Romanian.

Some not related with the case dialogue between Liv and Clive reaching to Paulina’s apartment has been cut.

Liv turns to him, her face ashen. This is the moment she loses her Winona Ryder dour/cool/bored affect. Interesting comparison lol

Liv, looking shell-shocked, waits nearby as Clive pounds on the door to Tess’ apartment. Soul-patched neighbour Truman opens his door in a huff.

TRUMAN She’s gone. Whatever you told her, it sent her running. It’s her body, you know. Only a patriarchal society would prevent women from monetizing their own—

CLIVE Did she say where she was going? The scene with the guy was shorter.

Liv steals a wooden apple instead of eyes. There’s two cut scenes, one with Clive, another with Eva. Clive and Eva meet. Also the scene at Paulina’s apartment is translated partially to a hotel room, with a vision involving Paulina and Tess. Another scene is added involving another apartment. Another scene involving the bad guy and Clive is cut too.

Peyton exits. Liv is thrown by Peyton’s show of emotion. She looks over the stolen loot, her slovenly attire, her Cheetostained fingers as she processes Peyton’s speech. LIV - Pathetic. Liv’s awakening is different.

The scene with Johnny is shorter, another scene with Pratt was cut.

The scene with Pratt and the girls was way shorter. There are several scenes of Clive running after Pratt and Liv and Clive interacting with the girls that were cut. Liv almost eats Pratt.

A scene in which Liv gets her zombie makeup applied and wanders through the haunted mansion is cut. Most of the conversation with Major and Peyton is cut.

What are your opinions on this?

theme of the song explained if you were not a boy: you lose

okay so if properly done, the kingdom of OOO belonged to Marceline, but however she knows how the throne was stimulated (belonged to her father) but somehow her sister (pink but deadly) could never have belonged to her father's rights to steal life (so he literally died) but you're seeing 'the idea of' which is how wicca was cancelled off too much that cartoon stigma was created by thought by the luminary Queen (of a modern mother in the 1990's, so it's pretty heartbreaking to challenge the gen-z norms) this is what the world looked like to a heartbroken man.

the enchiridion has a blatant setback to the Nostradamus (the sister book) which made the ice king a setback to complete the races before him (Finn's voice actor's future) so he was warned of how he would have made use to the creature of heart made a favour to him if he was broken so the Beauty and the Beast story completes this if he knew (voice actors are Muslim to persuade hope to function the body of the autistic population, so he singlehandedly made sure he can never marry of which (Finn the human) until he knew his mind (cartoon network multiverse) so his decision altered the autistic population by a mild setback on his decision on his own to make sure the autistic population was actually catered to if known for the ways 'he were to' than thinking carefully about the masses for himself as if he were one of them (like a cautious father would) cuz cartoons hurt the voices in the end if he were to alter the decisions by writers control (which voice actors do)

Marcy is a dead end. so the thought of her clock was not managing as a man you knew so if you know nepo kids nowadays, they tell you stories of how you were going to make sure people end with a conspiracy theory, but there is no end but you if you were to be yourself again (generational wealth in the 90's)

Oppenheimer (2024) is now a claustrophobic addiction if you watched how Oppenheimer reacted to the world by the Bhagavad Gita incited by purity so metaphor of the doubt and it was a cartoon island that got hit, he knew history was a giant setback to humanity to the ones who created it to play with it than to play with it than to set it up to make it all up again, so there is no in between where thoughts ran his mouth (Oppenheimer being an intuitive thinker) that had no ideals (like Wizard of Oz) so annihilation is of the thinker than the doer getting the blame so there is no do but think but that's the assholery of the voice actor taken oath again to be and let go, my blog does not proceed me as a voice actor so i took my shahada right there and now

and there you are.

everything i say next is sincere from my words as a guide than a lead, so my examples are golden to you as many as i am one with your touch, so be and it is

New Scripted Horror Podcast Series "Dream Sequence" Premieres

It's the rare media company that can excel at one genre across various media platforms. For example, while Hallmark is dominant in romance TV movies, it produces few movie romcoms, and is not a force in romance genre book publishing.

By contrast, Blumhouse has injected its expertise in horror into book publishing, movies, TV, and podcasts. 

Therefore, when Blumhouse Television and Realm announced a new scripted horror podcast series, Dream Sequence, I was comfortable that podcasting was the recipient of a superb horror show. Dream Sequence will tell the story of two estranged sisters and the nightmare that brings them back together. The show will join an ongoing slate of co-produced podcasts by iHeartPodcasts and Blumhouse Television.

 “Our slate of scripted shows with Blumhouse TV has captivated listeners, and we’re excited to continue this journey with the introduction of Dream Sequence,” said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. “The new series will explore the realm of dreams and offer a chilling exploration of the darkest corners of the mind.”

 New episodes will be available every Monday beginning August 5. Listeners can hear the official trailer now, here.

Dream Sequencetells the story of two sisters and the nightmare that brings them back together. Kay Craft hasn’t spoken to her sister Sadie since the tragedy that tore them apart seven years ago. But now Sadie’s resurfaced with her new invention, a machine that can record nightmares, and a new theory – that something’s alive within them. Whatever it is, Kay will have to confront it to survive.

“It has been a joy to extend our track record of producing high-quality and immersive content for partners while also contributing to Blumhouse's run of horror hits with iHeartMedia,” said Molly Barton, CEO and Co-Founder of Realm. “We’re excited to join them in introducing the world to Andrew’s visionary, horrifying new take on the dream dimension.” 

Blumhouse is the driving force in horror, producing over 200 movies and television series with theatrical grosses of almost $6 billion in global box office. Blumhouse is home to franchises such as Halloween, The Purge, The Black Phone, Paranormal Activity, The Exorcist, Insidious, M3GAN, and Five Nights at Freddy's, along with  Jordan Peele's Get Out, Damien Chazelle's Whiplash and Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman.

Dream Sequence was created by Andrew Robinson. Executive producing for Realm are Molly Barton, John Brooks, Marci Wiseman, and Dave Beazley; Alex Williams and Trevor Young for iHeartPodcasts; Chris Dickie and Noah Feinberg for Blumhouse Television.

Dream Sequence is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard. 

One caveat: only listen to Dream Sequence when someone else is there with you in your home.

On Sunset's lack of confirmed backstory, I guess it does come off as a bit odd compared to not only the other MLP redemptions, but also other redemptions in other cartoons. Looking at them:

Zuko: had a horrible father in Ozai

Sasha (Amphibia): Marcy's Journal and interviews by Matt Braly indicate her parents' divorce led to her bossy and controlling ways

Amity (Owl House): horrible mother in Odalia

Hunter (Owl House): raised under the villain Belos

Pacifica (Gravity Falls): raised under her horrible parents Preston and Pricilla

Catra (She Ra 2018): orphan with a horrible childhood raised under Shadow Weaver

Peridot: raised under the regime of Homeworld by the Diamonds

Lapis Lazuli: trapped in a mirror for thousands of years

In comparison to those other redemptions, Sunset stands out as having no confirmed backstory. Like, are there any other redeemed villains either on MLP or other shows that didn't get a backstory?

Also curious on if Sunset even has a family anymore? Considering Celestia is the only person Sunset seemed to have any kind of relationship with before she left for the human world and Sunset never bringing up or showing sign of missing her family even after she redeems and reconciles with Celestia, is it possible she could be an orphan. There are common fan theories on Sunset being an orphan who sees Celestia as her adopted mother or a parental figure (which does give their subsequent fallout more weight in the process).

For the first question, I’m not sure.

For the second, she did mention in the holiday comic that she wasn’t really close with her family back in Equestria. I’ve never been really sold on the Celestia adopted mother theory, but I honestly headcanon that she was Sunburst’s older sister but once she disappeared through the portal, Celestia had to do damage control on the family so questions wouldn’t be asked (also some guilt), and wipe/seal away their memories of Sunset Shimmer until she came back at least.

baphomct​:

Marceline smiled, wrapping her arms around the Succubus and nuzzling her a little. The least of the affection she could show towards Dia given that the demoness had saved their lives! Well, not she personally, but she got the person/people that could and did! If not for her, they’d all be doomed for sure! The blonde sighed slightly, smiling at her and expecting perhaps Dia was not as warm as she should be.

‘ I’ll keep you warm as long as you need! ’

Giggles came from the Sister before she realized that indeed, she had called the king of Hell short. Though, that was not her only thought it had certainly come to be the first one.

‘ Well, first impressions huh? We get hyped up by so much lore and supposed sightings I guess it’s only natural for one not to be what you may think~ I doubt Secundo and the brothers are exactly what he expected either. ’

She left herself out of all of this, knowing it was not her place to speak directly to the King and Queen like she had, but that was special circumstance.

‘ Secundo says he speaks with him a lot, personally. Well, more than the other brothers perhaps save for Terzo and Copia, Primo’s never been very connected but it does take a lot to do those rituals too. ’

Speak of the devil as they say, Primo and Zar walked back in with some food and snacks, water and teas to help the girls revive their drained energy to some extent.

‘ Ah, good to see you both up and about again! You look precious cuddled up like this. ’

Primo commented before looking to Zar who blushed and looked away from them, no, not them. He was looking away from DIA specifically. In the short time he had held her close and kept her safe from the whole ordeal in her unconscious state, he’d grown oddly fond of her.

‘ Zar? ’

Blinking back to reality from his thoughts, the guard smiled and nodded before bowing slightly out of habit.

‘ Ah, yes i-it’s nice to see you both up. I’m sorry we haven’t met formally miss… I’m Balthazar but you can call me Zar. ’

He took Dia’s hand lightly in his own and offered a kiss to her knuckles before releasing her hand reluctantly and stepping back so they could eat if they chose.

“Aren’t you sweet~” Nuzzling Marcy back it felt nice being close to somebody right now. Dia didn’t know how long she had spent passed out on the floor or what really happened after but she did know that she was exhausted, hungry and kinda cold. So while the other couldn’t really do much for the former two she already turned out to be a great help with the latter. 

“Don’t worry about it, you aren’t the first nor last that was surprised by his stature. My theory is that he makes himself this short on purpose to throw people off but maybe he really just got the short end of the stick.” Dia remember being surprised by the King’s height herself. Having met his daughter and wife before, she had expected him to be a bit taller. 

“Maybe he just likes to be with a tall woman and that’s why” 

Just humming along as Marcy explained more, the succubus would be more talkative if she wasn’t this tired. She would probably get to talk to all of them later anyway, so being only on half brain for now should be fine. 

Smiling at Primo it was good to know that all of them were fine, sure she didn’t really know them but still. They had been mostly nice to her, which was rare to begin with, and they would have had every right to treat her way differently after she got so cozy with Imperator so fast. 

Sitting up as Zar introduced himself, a small blush tainting her cheeks as her hand was kissed. “I’m Dia, it’s nice to meet you” her own eyes flicking to the side being a bit embarrassed herself. “Thanks for looking over me... and sorry for passing out on you for so long” she added with a nervous chuckle. 

Being glad that she could turn her focus to the food before she got even more flustered. “Did... Lilith say anything about getting back to you guys?” she would think so. At least this time she would need to make a crystal again, not that she could with how drained she was anyway. 

“I’m glad you all are fine... some more spiked than others” 

[borkthemork]

Jumping on the Marcy has an older sister bandwagon, I also theorize that Marcy's sister used to babysit Anne when she was younger and often brought Marcy over, which could be how Anne and Marcy became friends.

Ally remembered the addressed succinctly in her mind. After doing this job for a long time, it made sense to know where to go, doing the job like clockwork — walking the same streets and corners amid tired North LA.

Where she lugged her backpack on her aching shoulders and held Marcy's hand as the Boonchuy household came into view.

With its structure all sleepy and outlined in nighttime haze, she and Marcy hopped the stone paths as if they were surrounded by lava, and knocked on the door with two solid taps.

All for the sake of saying hello. All for the sake of being hugged by the warm family living inside.

She didn't recall how far back she started babysitting. Maybe thirteen, twelve? The least she could remember was how the Boonchuys were really nice, that they gave her a surprising wad of cash for a fourteen-year-old, and their daughter had the boundless energy that tuckered her out more than school ever could.

For better or worse, Al couldn't tell. Usually, Anne never asked for too much. She ran around, liked kicking soccer balls at the backyard fence, and punched wayyy too much during play fighting.

Ally didn’t care about that. Anne was a sweet kid; she never became a pain in her side, asked a lot of questions over the robots in her bag, and was knocked out immediately when her energy went full stop.

If there were still hours to be had, they cooked leftovers and watched Starzgate until the sun went down. All relaxed, chill, nothing to worry about except for the one-hundred dollars in Al's leather wallet when she finally left.

And she'd be welcomed by the same faces, the same smiles, the same hugs by the same three people.

It became a blessing to be there. A sanctuary if one would. And Marcy believed it too when she started coming along with her, especially when those two kids finally hugged on the porch and sped off to Anne's bedroom, leaving Ally to kick her shoes off at the door, gathering the school bags to the dining table.

These were good moments. Good moments she wished she could've been more serious about — more involved in.

If only.

"Sweetie, are you alright? You don't look so good."

Mrs. Boonchuy had finished washing her hands at the sink. With all the textbooks splayed out like reading screens, Ally didn't know whether to focus on them or the worried expression fraught on Mrs. B's face.

"Oh yeah, I'm great. Very peachy." Ally pulled her robotics engineering textbook toward her, rubbing the heaviness from her eyes. With the night already settled and the coffee easing off, she hoped she had enough brain cells to finish studying for tonight. That, and finishing the job she committed to. "I'll give the girls a peak every once in a while, and if you need my cell you know which numbers to call."

The woman continued to scrutinize her, forehead creased, nose ridged with uncertainty. Really, it was like being stared down by her dad, except a lot different. She didn't know why.

"You know,” she started. “My husband and I usually alternate restaurant shifts. I can ask him to stay here for tonight. I don't mind working on my ow—."

"Really, you don't have to," Ally laughed. The notion seemed ridiculous. "You guys have been working your butts off, after all, and you paid me to take care of your daughter. You don’t have to.”

"Yes. But you're a guest here," she frowned. Oh. Oh not again. Before Ally could argue more, Mrs. Boonchuy strode out of the kitchen, grabbing the phone along the way. "I'm going to call him. The guest room's down the hall."

Guest room? Oh heck no! "But Mrs. B, all I need is coffee, honest! At least keep your money!"

She didn't. Even when a few hours passed and the Wus waved goodbye, Ally still had one-hundred-fifty bunched in her wallet, all clipped with a thank you note for her hard work.

Marcy held her hand as they went down the streets, happily noting that they didn't trip on the sidewalk cracks this time.

And Ally blamed it on the guest bed.

[sashannarcycanon]

Ok but I'm really interested in the "Marcy has a sibling theory" and i just know the mechanic girl is their sister. they also have the same nose shape and they have the same energy they both seem smart and energetic

I like the idea of her staying and help look for Marcy while both of their parents moved out she probably and hopefully has a place to stay

(and yes i love this theory because i know i won't be able to handle the fact that all of marcys family members probably moved on without them)

[via-rant]

I just found out there's a thing called Marcy's sister theory and I am INTO IT!!!! WHGEIWGS OH UF

[weedplantar]

I was reading the pages of the Marcy journal we have to my little sisters, and I didn't realize my mom and her boyfriend were literally right behind me and heard me doing different voices, passionately reading certain passages, and my non stop commentary and theories about a few pages of a book from a children's cartoon clearly marketed towards 8 year olds

MADDIE AND MARCY

Starting this post at 11:30 at night sooo yah.

Lets talk more about this

So some of us (including me) has speculated on the Wu Family letter implying Marcy's got siblings. Its just the way that Anne specifically writes "the Wu Family" instead of "the Wu's" or "Mr. and Ms. Wu" or something along those lines.

But there are contradictions to this theory.

You see, when I was writing my really long draft on the Wu's, I was watching Amphibia on D+. And I ran into Maddie and Marcy. My attention was grabbed just because it was a Marcy episode. And around the middle of the episode I realized

If Marcy does have sibling(s), why hasn't she mentioned them?

We go through an entire episode where she could bring up at any moment that she has siblings. But she doesn't.

Heres where a normal person would say its a dead end. But I'm not normal. For you see, I has decided to come back with a rebuttal.

I'm fairly certain Marcy has a sibling(s)s just because of 1 tiny little thing. She's (to some extent) an attention seeker. People like attention, especially people who rarely get it. Especially Marcy. I could go on about why this is, but I'll save it for another post.

My point is, I think Maddie and Marcy narrows the situation down.

Ever since Marcy met Maddie in the begining of the episode, she wore her hair in the exact same way Maddie had it. Like a little sibling mimics the actions and looks of the older sibling. Hell, She's literally doing what the triplets are doing with maddie.

In the final scene of the episode, Maddie apologizes for ignoring her little sisters just because they're little. Her sisters forgive her and the 4 hug. Marcy watches on the side, wiping a tear, moving her hair back to normal, and says, "Now that's magic"

Marcy shed a tear at the end of this episode. Sure she's no walls up sasha only crying in the most heartstomping moments. But she's not open book Anne who cries every few episodes (clarification: I'm not making fun of our girls here. I'm just pointing stuff out. I protecc with my life)

She cries at stuff that hits for her. The Dinner when sashanne made up. True Colors in general. And maybe even little moments here and there that I can't remember because its midnight.

So when she shed a tear at the little embrace between Maddie and her siblings, she felt that. Now this says a few things to me:

Marcy is most likely the youngest out of all her siblings. We know she's a mediator who doesn't give her true opinion on a lot of stuff. But she had to ask Maddie "shouldn't you make time for your little sisters?" She's very much on the tadpoles end here so yea

Her older sibling(s) probably ignored her a lot. Like, they turned her away when she asked to hang out with them and stuff. Me thinks that's why she got a little emotional during that little hug. As an annoying little sister myself, you look up to your cool older siblings. And it hurts a bit when they ignore you

"Now that's magic" maybe she finds it hard to connect with her siblings. Maybe she finds it near impossible to form a bond with them and finds what Maddie and her siblings have very special. She could be forcing a smile and stuff to hide the envy(I know its a stretch but yeah). Just saying, look at the eyebrow thingy, its like she's trying to hide it.

When she pushes her hair back, it could mean that she eventually stopped trying to be like her sibling, and decided to make her own, unique identity. Again, Its a stretch. This is just my take.

Edit: I can't believe I posted this without answering the question I asked in the begining. If we think of Maddie and her little sister being a parallel to Marcy and her older sibling(s), Marcy wanted attention from her sibling(s) but probably never got it. She's quiet and reserved. She's likely to be overlooked in her family. What's the point of thinking about people who [you don't think] they're thinking about you? What's the point if the people you consider family don't acknowledge you like such?

Sibling dynamics are very common and very important in the show (sprig and polly, Grime and Beatrix, the Olms, Maddie and the tadpoles, sprig basically adopted Anne as a sister, etc.) So it wouldn't be a surprise if Marcy had some older siblings herself. But up to this point, a lot of the sibling dynamics are very healthy. So it would be interesting to see the implication of a broken sibling dynamic play out.

I really hope I don't get clowned for this.

Edit: I had to edit this post cause I didn't conclude it correctly. I really have to elaborate on some things for this post to make a little more sense. That will have to be another post.
