I'm beginning to think he likes it you guys...

let’s be super clear: there is zero canon evidence that alden ever pressured or neglected any of his children. zero. if you want to make him that way for fic or fanon purposes, fine. you do you. but the second you try to use that in a serious anti alden argument, you lose credibility

What if Morgoth's parlay was a different sort of trap?

He sends the message, dangling the promise of the Silmarils, and of course Maedhros agrees to go. Of course he brings more than the agreed upon amount of force, forbids any of his brothers from riding with him. It's a trap, obviously, but he won't drag them into death with him.

But Morgoth is counting on that. Because that means Maedhros is bringing the best of his soldiers. That everyone who stayed behind - Maedhros' brothers, those who might have been injured from the Dagor-nuin-Giliath and could no longer fight - will be thinking about their king. They will be distracted. Less defended. Vulnerable.

And then...

Maedhros arrives at the parlay meeting grounds and waits. And waits. Morgoth does not come. A coward, Maedhros thinks, and he rides back with his soldiers to his camp.

They see the smoke first. Maedhros' heart turns cold.

Too late, Morgoth's true intentions become clear. It was a trap, but Maedhros did not spare his little brothers by not letting them come with him. He looks at the devastation the Enemy has left behind and screams.

(later, his followers will say that he looked like Feanor. That his eyes burned with a dark fire, a horribly familiar mix of grief and madness)

In Angband, Morgoth forces the six sons of Feanor to kneel before his throne and laughs.

Ooooohhhh thinking about how alone Saria was, thinking about how she grew up emotionally neglected, thinking about how she loved Kirsten and devoted everything to her changed her own dreams for her and Kirsten loved her but not enough and Saria pushed everyone away and was cruel and unfeeling because it was easier that way to block everything out (if you don’t care you don’t get hurt) and

Ifrit Ifrit Ifrit that terrified, sick little girl that burst through the dam in her heart. She could care about one girl, couldn’t she? And Silence who reminded Saria so much of Kirsten in her idealism and devotion to her research, maybe she could care about her too.

Until it all went to hell and Saria glimpsed for a moment what was behind the curtain and then forcefully drew it shut again (out of sight, out of mind). She could clean up the mess because that’s what she was good at, she could fix it and hold Ifrit and Silence in one part of her heart, and Kirsten and all her (their) sins in another. But Silence saw through it too quickly and said she didn’t want Saria’s help and she was absolutely justified. It didn’t matter if Saria’s heart ached with the loss of a friend and a sick little girl because she had kept the hurt out before and she would do it again. It didn’t matter if she was alone.

No Ifrit, no Silence, no Rhine, no Kirsten, just Saria diligently picking up the pieces of a mess that might have partly been her fault but it didn’t matter anymore because she was doing what she was good at. And of course there was Muelsyse who was the closest thing to a friend she had left. Even if Saria wasn’t sure where her loyalties truly lay. Maybe she didn’t need a friend at all. But the important thing was that Kirsten had gone too far now, and she had to do something about it.

But maybe in a vivarium hovering thousands of meters off the ground she at least wanted Muelsyse to understand why she had to stop Kirsten (from hurting herself, if anything). And Muelsyse said “I can’t hold on to both of you” and chose Kirsten over her which frankly Saria understood because hadn’t she chosen Kirsten over Silence and Ifrit so long ago? So maybe it was all right that if she couldn’t get Kirsten to stop they could both go up in the conflagration of Kirsten’s dreams, though she didn’t count on Kirsten knowing her too well. Maybe her death would be deserved, alone, because she gave up on Kirsten. And wasn’t alone how you always wanted it anyway Saria?

…

But maybe it wasn’t all lost. The fall hurt like hell but at the bottom was forgiveness she didn’t feel like she deserved but was offered nonetheless.

I was looking around the internet and found a comic (DC Comic #68, specifically!) that I clearly never read because I would have totally remembered this. Color me surprised when, in this comic, Blossom goes off on her own and teams up with none other than Mojo to destroy the Micro Puffs after they've brainwashed Buttercup and Bubbles into wanting to be the new leader of the group.

It’s just very interesting to me how Blossom’s employed Mojo to help her with so many different plans… Moral Decay, Power Prof, Forced Kin, this comic… hmmmmm… 👀

But I love that last panel of Blossom laying on the charm and Mojo giddily smiling like an idiot about not only being diabolical (such a nice compliment!), but also at the prospect of kicking the Micro Puffs’ butts, because how dare they not bring him a Micro Mojo. 🤣

But after their (naturally) brilliant plan is executed…

…they save the day together! But excuse me, that should say the day is saved thanks to Mojo and Blossom. Buttercup and Bubbles did nothing! 😤 (Also, agh, his tunic’s all colored wrong! …still a perfect image though.)

Later on in the CN Block Party comics (I think?), Mojo does get his own Micro Mojo, but I wasn't aware of this comic even existing! Of course, my two favorites saving the day together... how could I not love it? 😄

Geometrically accurate love triangle trope in which Mito has always known she’d be the one to marry a Senju one day to keep up the Senju-Uzumaki alliance but somehow had been sure it would be Tobirama. So sure in fact, that she had befriended Tobirama early on to get to know him and slowly fall for him. It may not have been the all-consuming, sweeping-off-her-feet kind of love she had dreamt for herself, but she had put effort into learning to love Tobirama, and she had in fact learned to.

So she’s all the more confused and shocked when she finds out it’s Hashirama she will be marrying, Tobirama’s brother who she mostly only knows from Tobirama’s stories as she barely ever spoke to him even though he would often hide somewhere nearby when she and Tobirama are alone and watch them in a, what she assumes, protective manner over his brother.

Tobirama on the other hand has been in love with Hashirama for as long as he can remember. Of course it’s Hashirama; it would always be Hashirama for him, his larger-than-life brother, his sun, his center of the universe. It’s a love he has kept secret ever since, not because he gives a fuck about the taboo (Tobirama, of all people, never found a taboo he didn’t want to break), but because Hashirama does.

He has also always known Hashirama would marry an Uzumaki one day, has even mentally prepared himself for it a very long time ago. But he had not imagined it would be his best friend out of all the Uzumaki he’d have to see at his brother’s side. He had hoped it would be some random Uzumaki lady he had never met and could hate silently, but Mito? He can’t hate Mito. He doesn’t know how to feel about this situation at all now.

Hashirama, meanwhile, has been in love with Mito since the very moment he saw her for the first time when he was only fourteen years old and had just fully entered his awkward puberty period. He was intrigued by Mito’s demeanor right off the bat but was too intimidated to exchange more than a total of three sentences with her before bolting off to somewhere else (and that did not change into adulthood either). He has instead contented himself with watching her and Tobirama when they would tinker science or with Tobirama’s stories about her he subtly asked from him.

He has rather mixed feelings about the marriage with Mito therefore. On the one hand, he’s of course elated it’s her! He wants nothing more than finally to get to know her for real and for her to get to know him, maybe even get to like him—but he’s not blind. He’s aware Mito Likes Tobirama. He’s… not sure how Tobirama feels because for all he can read his brother like an open book, his feelings on the matter of love are a complete mystery to Hashirama. But if Tobirama reciprocates, he doesn’t want to be in the way of that. And even if he doesn’t, Hashirama doesn’t want to chain Mito to himself when that’s clearly not what she wants.

Naturally, all of this ends in a happy poly ship in which Mito gets to know Hashirama and finally experiences the all-consuming love she used to dream about, Tobirama realizes that there is more to his dislike of Hashirama and Mito’s marriage than just the jealousy at Mito—it’s also jealousy at Hashirama—and Hashirama learns that his overprotectiveness of Tobirama is rooted in a… less than brotherly nature that he assumed it was.

But not before so much pining, angst, and lots of chaos ensues first.

hii idk why but the thought of fresh-faced professional scully being so scared she burst into her new extremely flirty but otherwise dismissive partner's motel room in nothing but a bathrobe and undergarments asking him to check her for strange markings before collapsing into him when he laughed at her and said they're just mosquito bites. do you think it killed her? just a bit? just enough that he was It that she realized she could never ever do this again with anyone else and now that she'd done this with him that was it? and lord help her if she ever did it again with him, nevermind anyone else. mortifying introduction. what a way to start out her new career with the fbi

anyways. just thinking about how scully wishes to be perceived and who she really is
