[voyage-inferno]

Hm. About time I made one of these

The short summary, voyage-inferno list of available Bennett AUs!

Abyss!Bennett

- A scenario in which Bennett takes a tumble into the abyss. Alone. It wasn't an intentional journey, but what one would find is a Bennett better suited to a life that lacks his familiar supports but contains no less danger. In short: he's a little jumpy, a little feral, and a little off. At least his luck seemed to neutralize?

Phoenix!Bennett

- Bennett had a life he doesn't remember, one that burned away when his new body was reborn in the ashes of his old one. Now older, Bennett was in for a surprise when his wings and old powers came to greet him. Knowing his luck, he can't keep it hidden forever.. but he can try!

Fatui!Bennett

- What happens when a younger Bennett is told there's a chance to cure his curse, using forces that he shouldn't trust? Well in this scenario, Bennett takes that shot in the dark, and decides it is- in fact- worth it. After all, if the gods really cared, they would have fixed him.. right?

Subcategory: Calamity!Bennett

- while not an official Harbinger by any means, Bennett has been raised from his discovery to aim his blade towards Celestia. His curse is something he's learned to weaponize, directing it towards his enemies and causing all sorts of mishaps. And while it was the gods who brought the Calamity down upon Teyvat, it is Bennett, Rota Calamitas, who will seek to bring the apocalypse to their front door.

- a multichannel YouTuber who's slice-of-life vlogs became popular after people began to realize that he's the living embodiment of the "100 or nothing" human durability situation. Yes he can survive rolling down a cliff without serious injury. Yes his ankle broke on a one-inch step. Combined with a cheerful disposition and goofy humor, Bennett exists as something of the world's most positive train wreck. When he's not going on (mis)adventures on or off camera, which include anything from camping to ghost hunting to just rating his favorite restaurants, he's doing basics at the local college and getting his butt handed to him in lazer tag.

Modern!Bennett

in succession 2x08 dundee when logan says “the past is all made up” i really do think that’s the thesis of the entire show btw.

like, the roy kids’ conflicting memories of their childhoods that are never clarified through any kind of flashbacks or confirmation, the entire fucking cruises scandal and the coverups of major crimes, kendall’s accident and how he even tries to rewrite the past in the finale (“that didn’t happen. I made it up”) as logan so often did in both big and small ways (from denying his knowledge of the cruises crimes before congress to small moments of “I told you this already” and “did I even make contact?”)

the fucking poem Dreamsong 29 by John Berryman that all the season finales are named after. this is just the last stanza:

“But never did Henry, as he thought he did, / end anyone and hacks her body up / and hide the pieces, where they may be found. / He knows: he went over everyone, & nobody’s missing. / Often he reckons, in the dawn, them up. / Nobody is ever missing.”

And we never have real confirmation that logan did know about cruises because the characters (minus kendall) deny it to the last. but we know. we keep our plausible deniability because we don’t know, but we know. the show essentially makes us complicit in the same way that the characters are. most of them don’t know that he knew, because they never had any explicit proof, but as kendall says in season 3 “C’mon. We knew.”

the narrative continually shows us that logan “keeps a watchful eye over his whole empire” with perhaps the best example being how he buries the evidence of kendall’s accident and manslaughter at the end of season 1. that’s a very clear parallel to the cruises situation and that’s so skillfully and subtly woven throughout season 2 when the cruises scandals are coming to light and kendall is still reeling from the accident and his guilt.

and all that’s not even touching on the whole matter of ATN and the debate over how involved logan really is in what news stories and political views his network pushes (which could be a whole separate post of its own). very similar to how the cruises thing is handled, the line is always that logan isn’t involved, while the narrative shows us otherwise.

there are a million other examples both big and small that i could pull but this post is already such a disorganized mess. someday i’ll write an essay about it i swear, or maybe somebody else out there already has, but i just needed to point out how brilliant and subtle the show is about this as i’m rewatching season 2

"We get to, this season, explore their chemistry and their real love and their intimacy. So we get to have a glimpse into that world that just feels so pure and beautiful and romantic! And then, sort of navigating those other circumstances once they're out in the world, dealing with real... challenges." - Isa in an interview with The Knockturnal(x)

Sebastian and Bards relationship in the cannon is not talked about enough.

Not to sound pretentious, but I feel like it may be more accurate to say their dynamic in the context of the series.

The simplistic caveman side of my brain wants to say that they’re just two dudes, which isn’t wrong. But the analytical side of my brain wishes to elaborate 🤗.

Behold my tangent.

One of my favorite lines in this series is when Sebastian tells Bard quote “You fear death, as humans should. You must be the only one in this manor who does.”

(The fact that it pans to Ciel is just 👌👌👌. Good shit, love to see it.)

To me, Bards backstory segments where we saw him adjusting to life in the manor had a different feel to when we saw the same for Mayrin. We got to see her interact with oCiel, Finny, Nina, and even Lau briefly. But with Bard, he was only ever really shown with Sebastian. Or at least mainly.

There’s a stronger sense that Bard doesn’t quite fit in with the rest of the household. Which I felt was emphasized by this panel.

I interpret this as him saying “what the hell am I doing in the house full of crazy kids.”

Which leads me back to my main point. Basically, Bard is the most normal human in this house. And who is he paired up with the most? Debatably the least normal “human” in the house.

Except I bet that’s not how Bard sees it. While Ciel may be the master of the house, Bard and Sebastian are the adults of the household. The men of the house if you will. (Yeah yeah Mayrin and Tanaka are adults too. But in Mayrin’s case b/c of her time as a snipper she hadn’t lived as much of a life as Bard, so she’s not quite at the same level of maturity. And I’m going to ignore Tanaka since he’s less of an active player among the servants.)

I’m trying so hard to break down my thought process rn :’) OK, because of this, I bet that Bard views Sebastian as sort of like his bro. They have this shared responsibility to take care of the ‘kids’ in the house. (Take a shot every time I say house).

Honestly idk where I’m going with this. Sebastian is like the strict mother who expects highly of the servants. While Bard is the bad influence uncle that endorses smoking, drinking, and pornography.

They have a weird partnership, one that boarders on a one sided friendship. They both have an unspoken understanding that they share the responsibility of adults looking after children. Only for Bard to then be put back in his place by Sebastian, as HE probably views Bard as just another one of the kids he has to manage.

I swear I had a point, I don’t think I conveyed it properly. Anyway, sorry for the long post. I honestly love Bard as a character, he’s very interesting when you really start to think about it. He doesn’t get enough recognition from the fan base esp when it comes to analytical perspectives.

Welcome to my HTF blog, I have lore and gore all for you to enjoy.

What’s goin on here?

Well I make a Happy Tree Friends Au called Be Brave that delves into why htf is the way it is. Why is everyone dying all the time? Why won’t they stay dead? Why do I love laughing at their misery? What’s up with those weird little stone idols?

Well wonder no more…unless you have your own headcanons. That’s fine too. But if you’re hankering to hear my take, here’s a quick disclaimer and some convenient links to make navigating this blog a wee bit easier.

DISCLAIMER

This story and this blog is NOT intended for a child audience. I am SERIOUS. I am an ADULT making content for ADULTS. Do NOT put yourself in an adult space if you are uncomfortable with ADULT themes. There will be violence. There will be gore. There will be foul language. There will be sexual humor and adult jokes and topics. Consume at your own risk.

Ocs will play active and important roles in this story. This includes many of my friends ocs. If this is a problem then oopsie poopsie, aw well. Cry me a river.

Shipping is a thing. FlippyXFlaky is my main canon ship and it will be explored in this story. As well as a bunch of oc ships. A few other canon ships may be mentioned or shown as well. If any of this is also a problem then too bad, too sad.

Harassment is not tolerated. I am not afraid to block. I’m old and tired and I give no fucks. The real world is already enough of a stressful nightmare, and Auntie Critters needs their wine and story time to unwind. Just don’t be a dick. It’s as simple as that.

Be patient! Again, I am doing this for fun. But I want to be able to share that fun as well cus I really love the stuff I’ve been cooking for this. However, making content to convey all these ideas I have to an audience is a LOT of work. And I am doing this on my free time. So do not expect there to be a set schedule and understand that I am unfortunately a slave to the whims of my hyperfixations. But I will do my very best to deliver all these stories to you 😤

Now onto the fun stuff…

[distorted-digitality]

I just had a realization about Neon Genesis Evangelion.

I had always appreciated the attention to the atmosphere and the world, the way certain silent scenes would drag on just to let the atmosphere sink in. At first I assumed that was simply artistic choice, but it may have to do with the premise of the anime itself.

At the last episode, it is extensively mentioned repeatedly how one's perception of the world they live in quite literally makes their reality, since one can only glean their version of reality from personal experience.

I believe by drawing out those particular scenes they were trying to draw attention to the reality and perspective that Shinji crested for himself.

Overall to him, the world seems chaotic and bleak, filled with objective suffering, and people who hate him (though that is an incorrect assumption on his part.)

But what is brought to attention repeatedly is the emptiness, the scenes where he's laying in a hospital bed isolated in a white room, where he's waiting at the train station to leave where he used to live, and many other scenes with the same feeling. It's almost always these moments of near nothingness that are drawn out.

I think this is a way to portray his emotions of deep emptiness and loneliness from not knowing his true self, having few people he feels he can trust, and the self imposed isolation he has from staying emotionally distant from others.

Kuro manga spoiler - The unlucky fate of the P4

Please note, I am currently rereading the story but I may misremember something, feel free to let me know if I did.

I was just thinking how sad the story of the P4 is. Like, they spent their school years being brainwashed that "the headmaster's will is absolute", that whatever he choses it is the correct choice and they should not question it.

Because of that they end up committing a crime and later being kicked out.

Then, almost immediately they end up in the Sphere Music Hall. I say almost immediately because Edward says a month after the school events Lizzie is kidnapped but correct me if I'm wrong. They were likely in their most vulnerable state (just being kicked out of their "home" after years of indoctrination) and they casually end up in a situation that is honestly so similar.

A location where people follow blindly what someone say, but this time it is the stars instead of the headmaster.

Then there is the vice-head master that is the one actually having contact with them most of the time, and the role now falls on Blavat.

Plus they were extremely smart with this and basically they have them back their right, it is likely not a coincidence that they are called Spotlight 4. They are, yet again, put in the position under the spotlight, where people admire them and almost worship them, like they were as the P4. They are put again under the spotlight. Just like they were before.

Violet being forced to donate blood could even fall under a "fag/drudge's duty" with some little manipulation, triggering the actions/words he had to follow for years before becoming a prefect.

They are all again convinced that what they are doing, they are doing it for the best outcome.

Technically they also have the Midnight tea party, since there is the exclusive meeting of the stars where they get the blood that you can have access only if you have the bracelet.

They are divided in 4 groups (stars vs dorms) each with their own simbol (number of stars vs different flowers), of which they end up being the representative (prefect vs main singer). And they get the fancy outfit (special flowers vs special suit).

They litteraly fell for the exact same scheme, just with a slightly fancier mask.

This becomes even worst if Undertaker directly contacted them. Because then we can still apply that "the headmaster's will is absolute" and so they followed him because he was the headmaster.

Undertaker and Blavat are forcing their past position on them yet again using similar means to the one they were subjugated by previously. They are paralleling their past to once again manipulate them, since it already worked. And this is heartbreaking.

I feel like crying about them.

Weston arc being the silliest arc my ass
