This is a regular no high-stakes teen drama IF BUT which teen drama live-action tv show of any genres would the ROs fit and thrive in? Riverdale, Euphoria, Glee, Sabrina, Gossip Girl, Teen Wolf, etc.?

I can't really see Dylan in a supernatural based show, mainly because they're mostly about drama between a friend group and all the betrayals but... Dylan is too much of a people's person to do well in that kind of environment... I could see them being an outlier in drama shows like Gossip Girl or Pretty Little Liars but they wouldn't exactly ✨thrive✨, ygm? Somehow I feel like the show I'd put them in is actually a supernatural show, Wynonna Earp──where they'd be an Earp sibling and a very good glue to keep the whole group together. (Plus WE's protags are all human and are accepting of LGBTQ+ so Dyl would fit in very well!) Though I'd like to see them in a straight up horror like I Know What You Did Last Summer or One Of Us Is Lying!

Shay is 100% Stiles Stilinski coded from Teen Wolf. I don't know why I get werewolf show vibes from Shayne... but I do! So Teen Wolf or Wolf Pack, Wolfblood and Bitten... but he's the only human in the supernatural pool! I could also see his on a more mature show like Grimm where he'd be like a more upbeat Trubel learning how to be a good Grimm and protect the good Wesen...

I feel like Kinsley would do well in drama based shows like Gossip Girl, Elites or Euphoria where it's more about interpersonal relationships and secrets. Though I could see her in other shows like Glee (where she learns how to be comfortable in herself à la Stantana) or The Vampire Diaries (Kinsley is very much like Caroline, actually, and I think becoming a vampire would actually do wonders for her character arc quicker than anything else!)

Maybe unsurprisingly, J would do well in shows like Deadly Class, The Society, The Order or Misfits both aesthetically and personality wise──being more intense than other shows/people (see: Shay&Teen Wolf or Teenage Bounty Hunters) with a complicated plot/magic system/storyline. And J's not afraid of a fight. That being said I think J could bring something to ridiculous shows like Riverdale or CAOS that would ground them a little (a 'what the fuck' kind of personality) but mainly I'd just want to see what fuckery J comes up with during the pain that are those shows. Lmao!

Put Theo in a thriller I just wanna see how they react lmao. I wanna see them in Yellowjackets or The Wilds or Alice in Borderland... they're actually quite smart when things don't center around reading so I feel like their solutions to situations would be super interesting to see! Though, to not traumatise them (lmao) I'd also put Theo in shows like Locke and Key, First Kill or Lockwood and Co!

As an ensemble I could see all of them in shows like Outerbanks, Surviving Summer, Heartbreak High, Sex Education or SKAM... or more supernatural shows like Paper Girls, Motherland: Fort Salem or Wednesday... I'd like to see what kind of supernatural being they'd end up being!

this was really fun!! thank you for your ask!

Alder: The Spree trucks incident

Some thoughts about Motherland: Fort Salem. Full spoilers for seasons 1 to the end of 3, you are warned. This is specifically about s1e08 Citydrop. (Sorry this is very long)

The situation is this: 2 Spree trucks, presumably full of mines, are on their way to the Boston airport and they have to be stopped to avoid mass civilian casualties. A strike team is en route but will be too late to stop the mines from either sent into planes all over the country or being used in the airport. Only the instructors and cadets currently in operation in Citydrop are close enough to stop the trucks.

Those are the mission parameters. They’re pretty clear: stop the trucks or let thousands of civilians die.

A reminder that Scylla killed approximately 1600 civilians with one balloon, though it was at a big event with a huge crowd. From the very limited angle of Tally’s Sight, we are shown at least 12 inflatable pool toys, 3 huge metal canisters and 2 smaller thermos-like canisters. There are also barrels and packed pallets that may or may not contain more bottles and inflatables. The death toll could be catastrophic.

Also, the Spree destroyed the car factory themselves minutes after leaving with the trucks. Only the 6th floor was the Spree armory, all the rest of the building was a legitimate workplace with civilian employees inside and the Spree didn’t hesitate to kill them as collateral. The televised report from Alder announces over a hundred of casualties at the factory.

The cadets and their instructors place themselves in the path of the Spree trucks and wait for them to arrive. The army has legal authority and is simply blocking the road. Any amount of stalling here would be to their advantage as there is a strike team on the way. They are not being aggressive.

The 1st Spree truck doesn’t stop and tries to run the cadets over. The cadets defend themselves by windstriking the truck off the road. The Spree are the aggressor.

The 2nd Spree truck stops in the middle of the road to reassess for a minute. They then start driving again and try to run the cadets over like the 1st truck did.

Through Tally’s Sight, the army knows that the Spree have now armed the mines. The Spree’s intention is that the cadets’ windstrike would trigger the mines and kill them all, hostages included. The Spree in the 2nd truck chose the murder-suicide route.

It’s only because of Little Miss Scryer Extraordinaire’s great skill in Sight that the cadets know what the 2nd truck is really trying to do. Thanks to that, Anacostia and the cadets change tactics and windshear the truck to oblivion instead of using winstrike again, avoiding a total bloodbath.

Therefore, in her televised address, Alder told the exact truth: “After our forces intercepted them, the Spree reacted as they always do, with violence and destruction. They chose to execute the hostages […].”

A suicide by cop is still a suicide. A murder-suicide by cop is still a murder-suicide.

Another reminder: the Spree are shown to be somewhat impervious to their own push work (as seen in M:FS s2e08, when Scylla resists at least one of Nicte’s push attack). Meaning that would the Spree survive the windstrike and subsequent crash of the 2nd truck (the Spree in the 1st truck survived the crash) could be getting away alive. So it wasn’t even a murder-suicide by cop, only a murder by cop.

In this instance, Anacostia is the one who lies. When Tally tells her about the hostages, she relays the message to Alder and Alder says: “The mission hasn’t changed. Proceed.” For Alder (and anyone who can count), the maths still works: 7 dead hostages are still better than thousands of dead civilians. There is no other solution. Neither Anacostia nor Tally proposes an alternative. No officer present in the war room proposes any alternative, they all know there isn’t one.

But Tally doesn’t take it well, and Anacostia then lies to her to pacify her:

Tally: “There are innocent people inside!”

Anacostia: “No. The Spree are just making you see things. My intel says there are no civilians onboard.”

That’s the only lie uttered in this whole mission. Alder didn’t lie, and didn’t order Anacostia to lie.

After this lie is the misunderstanding that will lead Tally to be so incensed against Alder:

Anacostia: “Craven. My intel, my orders, come directly from General Alder herself. Do you understand?”

Anacostia is simply trying to impress upon Tally that they don’t have the power to make a decision here, only their Commanding Officer does. But saying this right after her lie makes it sound to Tally that Alder said that there were no civilians onboard.

Now Tally mistakenly thinks that Alder lied when the lie was Anacostia’s.

Later, Tally says to her unit: “I told Anacostia. […] She said that intel came straight from General Alder and that there were no hostages.”

Now all 3 believe that Alder lied to them.

This misunderstanding will most probably never be addressed even though it’s what turns the unit against Alder in the first place, sending them to Petra, sending Petra to Wade, forcing Alder to puppet Wade and precipitating her later demise.

The cadets have sworn the oath to defend civilians with their lives, like every other soldier in the army. It was their duty, like every other soldier in the army, to stop those trucks. It’s only because they’re still in training that they are seen as “children sent to war” in the public eye.

Using the cadets is bad for optics, for the army’s and the government’s reputation. It’s a political and public representation problem, but that’s all it is. It’s the only reason that President Wade takes umbrage of this, for the same reason she always does: her reputation is taking a hit. Her reputation is the only thing she ever evokes as reason for her decisions.

It is unarguable that:

it would have been worse on every level to let the trucks reach the airport unhindered;

the Spree made the decision to execute the hostages;

Alder told the truth about it;

it was the correct decision to let the hostages be sacrificed.

The cadets, and Tally in particular, are traumatized, which is only logical. It would have traumatized more experienced soldiers. It even traumatizes Anacostia, who blames Alder as a way to cope with it.

The Spree did this to them. The Spree’s violence put them in an untenable position. The Spree forced them to kill innocent civilians. The Spree rammed their trucks into them and killed Libba.

The Spree are terrorists, they use terror as a weapon. They might have failed to use it against thousands of civilians, but they still managed to use it against the cadets and public opinion.

Additional considerations:

Why did the Spree even take hostages? Hostages are meant to serve as a shield, to influence your opponent’s actions, but it can’t if they don’t know you have hostages. The Spree didn’t announce that they had hostages, and only Tally Saw them. Anacostia specifically asked Tally to scry on the truck because she knows Tally’s Sight is that exceptional. The Spree wouldn’t have counted on the army’s scrying being that good. It might be a problem in the writing of the scene, but we could also assume that it was done this way to again demonstrate Tally’s great Sight, and to amp up the drama of Tally being the only one to know about the hostages and to think Alder lied. Or it could be that the hostages were always intended to be used as sacrifices in case the trucks were stopped, making it look bad for the authorities that hostages died (which is exactly what happened).

Knowing that hostages were onboard the 2nd truck, Tally refused to participate in the collective windshear to destroy it. There’s a distinct possibility that adding her power to the collective windshear would have finished destroying the small debris that injured some cadets and killed Libba. Adding the fact that it’s been demonstrated that the Bellweather unit’s harmonics are way more than the sum of their individual’s, there’s a really high chance her participation would have saved Libba. She refused to help the Spree kill civilians, and in doing that, also refused to help her sisters who were under threat of death. Nobody ever mentions it but it is very much part of showing how Tally’s immaturity is dangerous to the people around her.

Anacostia states that the instructors present in Citydrop are specifically trained in using Spree works (and thus are better suited than most at resisting Spree works, as demonstrated later by Scylla in M:FS s2e08). Had the mines been triggered near them and the cadets, they would have had a chance to resist them and hopefully help the cadets survive too. Not that there was any alternative, but Alder might have counted on that fact when she gave the order.

Anacostia also states that any cadet failing the Citydrop exam would be put on the list for early deployment instead of being sent to War College. Meaning that, even if Wade makes a great case about Alder sending untested cadets to war, those cadets were potentially hours away for being deployed anyway (although, they would have been deployed only after graduation day, which is still a few days away). Wade’s uproar really is just about semantics and appearances.

It’s possible that the army could have warned the civilian authorities of the arrival of the trucks, and maybe they did (it wasn’t on the list of possibilities voiced in the war room during the incident). Assuming there was even time for them to do something about it, the civilian police could have blocked the road, and the airport authorities could have evacuated the airport and grounded all the planes. This would have reduced the number of casualties, but, as the Spree demonstrated, they would have simply activated the mines and rammed into roadblocks to reach whatever amount of civilians they could. The deployed police forces and any civilian bystanders would still certainly have died en masse for it. Having the cadets intercept the trucks was still, by far, the better solution.

2021 Favourites

In no particular order. This is content I've read and watched in 2021, not necessarily content released in 2021.

Books

1. The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley: m/m 19th-century fantasy. I love the intricate plot of this series. Book 2 takes place in Japan, which makes it even more interesting.

2. The Velocity of Revolution by Marshall Ryan Maresca: queer and poly urban fantasy set in a secondary world. This amazing stand-alone novel has telepathy where the characters can end up in somebody else's body. Think Sense8.

3. [Spanish] Cada Seis Meses by Clara Duarte: f/f magical realism. This is my favourite Spanish novel. The love interest only exists six months a year. The plot plays with the butterfly effect.

4. Cute Mutants by SJ Whitby: sapphic and trans/enby superhero fiction (YA). This is a novel series, despite the comics-sounding titles. I read a lot of original superhero books and this is my fave.

5. Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao: m/m/f science fiction. I also read some original giant robot novels and this is definitely my fave. I love how it's inspired by Chinese culture and mythology.

6. The Unraveling by Benjamin Rosenbaum: science fiction with two invented genders. In this far-future stand-alone novel, people have several bodies with only one mind. Perfect for fans of Ann Leckie.

7. The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer: m/m science fiction (YA). Try to go into this book knowing as little as possible. It has horror vibes of the quiet "we're two people alone in the middle of space" variety.

8. The Papercutter by Cindy Rizzo: f/f dystopia (YA). The United States have split into two nations: the United Progressive Regions and the God Fearing States. Jewish pen pals use a secret code via traditional papercuts.

9. Jinx Ballou, Bounty Hunter by Dharma Kelleher: thriller with a trans woman protagonist. This action-packed series deals with serious themes, but also has fun scenes where the protagonist cosplays and goes to conventions.

10. [French] Tant qu'il le faudra by Cordélia: LGBT contemporary fiction. This is my favourite French series. A group of diverse people write an LGBT magazine. It's a brilliant mix of activism and romance.

TV shows

1. Word of Honor: BL wuxia. This c-drama is mind-blowing, nobody knows how it went past censorship. It has an excellent plot and beautiful visuals.

2. Heaven Official's Blessing: BL xianxia. This donghua is full of sweet flirting. I love the plot and the gorgeous art. There's also going to be a c-drama.

3. The Wheel of Time: heroic fantasy with some f/f + polyamory in the background. This is very pleasant to watch thanks to its focus on women and on characters of colour.

4. Legend of Yunqian: GL time travel (part wuxia, part contemporary). This c-drama is a quick watch, with 15 episodes of 4 minutes, but it packs a lot.

5. Motherland: Fort Salem: urban fantasy with some f/f. This is another excellent series with a focus on women and on characters of colour.

6. Color Rush: BL magical realism (YA). This k-drama is based on the concept of Soulmate AUs: you only see colour when you're with your soulmate. It's movie-length, with 8 episodes of 15 minutes.

7. MCU TV shows: Loki is bisexual and genderfluid. I also like the deaf representation in Hawkeye and the Black representation in Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

8. Y: The Last Man: science fiction with a trans man major character. The plot could have been better, but the trans representation is very well done.

9. Light On Me: BL romance (YA). This k-drama's protagonist is on the autism spectrum. It has an all-male love triangle.

10. Young Royals: m/m romance (YA). This amazing Swedish show is about a gay prince finding love at his boarding school.

Movies

1. The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity: BL wuxia (not to be mixed up with The Yin Yang Master, though it's pretty good too). Both of these movies are Chinese adaptations from the Japanese novel Onmyoji.

2. MCU movies: some m/m in Eternals. I love that we're finally getting more diversity in the MCU, not only with Eternals, but also with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

3. The Matrix 4: science fiction by a trans woman. Objectively, there isn't much LGBT content, but subjectively, the movie has a lot of queer/trans energy.

4. Snake Eyes: action movie with BL vibes. I know it isn't exactly popular, but I thought it was as good with Japanese culture as Shang-Chi was with Chinese culture.

5. You Make Me Dance: BL romance. This Korean movie is a lovely story about a professional dancer and a debt collector.

How about a Motherland Fort Salem AU in which witches are not the only supernatural beings in existence?

I was thinking about what if our favorite trio was a pack of werewolves?

Their kind had lived under the radar for thousand years, and did it so well Alder herself wasn't sure if they were real or not.

Then Tally is sent to Fort Salem to ask for help at the General who had managed to make human kind "accept" witches, because beside the Camarilla, a new group, the Silver Hand (Skyrim anyone?) had arised and started to hunt werewolves.

So they talk, Alder is curious and listens, then they get under attack and something like the first season's finale happen, and Tally becomes a biddie.

She offered, and let Alder see her memories and the truth about her words.

The General is surprised by her sacrifice, because she can see this girl has done it selflessly, and decides to release her as soon as they get back to Fort Salem. And that she will help her kind as well.

Then they come back and send a message to the werewolves following Tally's instructions and soon enough Petra Bellweather (who represents all the werewolves in America) and her pack arrive at the fort.

Explanations and presentations are made, and Tally's pack isn't happy about how things evolved, but all in all it goes smoothly.

They decide to unite to fight both Camarilla and the Silver Hand.

Here though Alder would be much more affected by the bond than in the series, because of Tally's wolf.

It makes her listen and protects Tally when the bond is broken, so she isn't quite the broken mess she is in the series, but Alder on the other hand is. Well, she feels it more.

How about it?
