#plot twist though

[rin-the-shadow]

So I know Penguin was probably just making a crack and didn't actually think Batgirl was Batman's little sister, but tbh it could potentially be a good secret identity diversion for both of them if they played into that assumption. Let everyone think Batman's got a kid sister he's finally decided to let tag along on missions, and then pretty much nobody would be looking at Bruce Wayne and Barbara Gordon as potential suspects, since neither one has any siblings.

okay who thought it was funny to give me a dream that reads like a fanfic

So.... what are your thoughts on Ace's UM, if you haven't been asked this already?

sneaky magic for the sneakiest boy

no but really, I think it fits him really well! I had thought his UM would probably involve something kinda sleight-of-handy or pickpockety! and I looooved that it made such a nice loop-around back to episode 1. ❤️ I was. kind of half-expecting him to just run out and punch Riddle in the nose again. but instead this time 'twas he who offed the queen's head! it was great! and he did it while stone-cold terrified out of his mind! because Ace is the only remotely normal or well-adjusted person at NRC and therefore the only one who is like "we're going to literally die, this is super effed up". but he did it anyway!!!! I AM SO PROUD

I find it funny that in the platinum jacket cards so far, everyone’s face looks like this:

And then there's Rook.

love how not a single person thought the pink sparkles crystal and niko saw were from anything other than homosexuality because falling in love at first sight with the girl that you live with is just about the most on the nose sapphic experience in existence

Fever Whump Details

Being just as — if not more — uncomfortable closing their eyes and resting as they are keeping them open; because every time they close their eyes, they get caught in a never-ending loop of thought that is just incomprehensible enough to manifest itself as a brightly-colored whirlwind behind their eyes that is more of a bad trip than a fever dream.

Being unable to breathe through their nose forces them to breathe through their mouth, which leads to their becoming severely dehydrated, which leads to feeling nauseous and like their heart is moving their entire body with every beat.

Not being able to talk, but having just enough energy to periodically swear under their breath and say “oh god”

Not being sure if they have a stiff neck from the fever itself, or from pretzeling themselves into uncomfortable positions because of the discomfort

Regretting their life decisions

Feeling like their eyes are getting cooked in their skull because they’re so hot

Knowing they need to spread out their limbs and cool off; but being unable to get their body to stop shoving their hands down their pants or into their armpits to seek warmth

Still being painfully thirsty no matter how much water they drink

Getting nauseous from drinking water

Chugging apple cider vinegar water to get rid of the flu and then having the most awful acid reflux an hour or two later

Having a scabbed over wound that didn’t faze them at all when they received it; but now that they’re sick, makes them gag to look at it

"It's been a long time, hasn't it friends?"

"Or maybe our last meeting was only yesterday for you-"

[just a heads up but I got a whole lot of text below for some thoughts/ramblings and headcanons of the event lolol]

Ngl, I was kinda expecting that he's dead since he did give off some vibes that he's from a distant past

But I was still hoping that I was wrong and maybe he's really just from a distant or isolated island, and he'll pop up at the end of the story as one of the visitors during the Halloween event KAJSHDAKSLDJH

That or maybe he got reincarnated

The idea of Skully as one of the ghosts in Ramshackle is so nice and sad at the same time though. Like imagine if he's just hovering around the academy for years and then after some centuries or so he senses some sort of familiarity with certain students and just watches over them. Then when Yu came around he got the urge to protect them and stick around them the most.

So maybe when the students got suck into the book he also got dragged into it and he gets to see his younger self and the whole event that happened as a ghost, which is why when they finally got to leave he gets to remember the whole thing. Then he kisses everyone like he did the first time around as another greeting because he finally knows why they felt familiar! (Although they don't remember he doesn't mind-)

And he did it as a 'it's nice to meet you in the real world this time' kind of thing

...

Anyway

This is why I might try to be on a lookout for some Oc x Skully or Yu x Skully because I think it has so many potential and possibilities with this ending (Reincarnation AU? AU where Skully is a ghost in Ramshackle who's looking out for Yu and is the one who protects them, which is why they leave fights unscathed while everyone just thinks they're lucky? Modern AU or one when they meet once Yu is able to return home from Twisted Wonderland?????) 😭😭😭 His ending was kinda bittersweet ok, I want to see things turning out in a happier note

Listen, I adore when Severitus is written as them hating eachother to learning to live with eachother to loving eachother as MUCH as the next person, truly..

but there's so much charm and comedy in a Severitus scenario where Snape acts like a complete utter asshole to everyone BUT Harry. Hermione comes out with a perfect potion and gets a begrudging "satisfactory" and maybe some house points, but more likely Snape would just say she shouldnt be acting so proud and that she merely met the standard expected of students.

Harry comes out with a Passable potion, not as perfect as Hermiones but usable, and Snape praises this boy like he just saved Christmas. He puts some of the potion in a vial and begins using it as the standard nobody will every meet. I mean he acts like Harry hung the stars. He is completely utterly in love with this boy and he has 0 shame in it. Infact he's prideful of the fact. It's SO out of character that I find it funny. Because he acts completely like Book Snape with every other person but the moment Harry enters he turns soft and sweet. (Imagine him lecturing a group of students then abruptly turning to Harry and going "You're doing great sweetheart!" before going straight back to lecturing.)

Harry actually is kinda pissed that he acts this way because he thinks it's unfair. When Snape is told of this he goes out of his way to not be too cruel to students if Harry is near. Asshole.

OHHHHHH HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL WHAT THE FUCK I HATE PLAYING ON EN SOMETIMES I WANT THIS CARD RIGHT NOW!!!

[fangirlforlife97]

If . . . . . . . .

- Rhysand isn't revealed to have been a villain/ bad guy the whole time and it's made aware he manipulated Feyre the whole time!?

And . . . .

- SJM doesn't stop over sexualizing her characters and ships, and writing ships/ relationships in a way that's toxic asf!?

And . . . .

- Doesn't get Nesta, and Elain and possibly even Feyre (I've kind of become anti Feyre but it's only because of how much she's changed cause of Reece's Cup) out of and away from the Night Court and Feysand and doesn't make Nesta break up with Cassian and hopefully find someone much better for her and get a happy ending!?

And . . . .

- Doesn't give Tamlin a healing arc and a happy ending with either possibly Nesta or Elain or Lucien x Elain or someone else but kills him off!?

And . . . .

- Makes Elriel endgame and has Nessian continue to be endgame?!

And . . . .

- Makes Feffiesand High Queen and King?!

. . . . . . . . . Then SJM isn't as good of a writer as she thinks she is and wasted her potential as a writer and ruined her own books, I already think she has in some ways but there's still hope depending on what she does next!!!!

I SAID WHAT I SAID!!

Maleficent and Ellis, *unable to have their wedding, both dying horrible deaths*

Teenager! Lilia: "Well, shit."

*Five hundred years later*

Malleus and Eleanora, *constantly flirting with each other*

Old man! Lilia, recognizing Malleus' resemblance to Maleficent and that Eleanora is Ellis' reincarnation: "As soon as I figure out how to undoom you both from the narrative, the wedding is back on."

More thoughts about that psychic connection.

I know I've talked about the "psychic connection" between Lydia and Betelgeuse before, but since I'm a sucker for such soulmate links between characters, I thought I'd write a little more.

It's all speculative, and that might have been just a fun line for Betelgeuse to say there, adding to how hopelessly in love the poor guy is with Lydia. But what if they do share a connection?

In this post I want to speculate a little about how this connection formed between them, and when, and what it may mean.

If there is such a connection between them, I think it formed after their wedding in the first movie. Hear me out, the ceremony was basically complete; they just needed to be pronounced husband and wife, when Barbara showed up with the sand worm. So I believe there was a soul link between them that was being formed that night, which remains, although half-formed, until this day.

This ritual would have made it possible for Betelgeuse to have free access to the world of the living, so whatever metaphysical mumbo jumbo was going on there, it was powerful enough to bridge the world of the living and the world of the dead for Betelgeuse to cross from the latter to the former in full power (assuming he'd keep his ghostly powers upon gaining access to the world of the living; he might just become a regular guy, who knows. Still, restoring his body so he can walk as a living man again must require a lot of power).

When the ritual was only a step away from being finalized, it just left that link between Betelgeuse and Lydia which he eventually realized he could use to watch her from afar and try to reconnect with her. Call it a residual of sorts that was left when they were almost married the first time.

It may have only been possible for that link to remain or even form in the first place due to Lydia's own ability to see and communicate with ghosts, though.

As a matter of fact, as I mentioned before (because we all know how I'm a sucker for all the soulmate stuff lol), it may even be Lydia keeping that link between them alive, or even making it possible for it to exist. I have this headcanon that subconsciously she keeps calling him and allowing his presence around her all the time. She may sense a bond with him that she's currently unable to consciously notice. Betelgeuse feels the same bond and openly embraces it; he's an ancient, powerful soul, so he can see how the two of them are just meant to be together. But yes, I already totally talked about this in the other post.

More headcanon stuff: At the end of the sequel, when Betelgeuse shows up in Lydia's bed (and possibly in her nightmare, too, unless they were sharing the same dream), that it might've been Lydia's subconscious calling him right back to her after she banished him. There's a part of her that never wanted him gone. We can see how her face looks conflicted right after she sent Betelgeuse away. We can also see how her face went from scared and disgusted, to confused and surprised while they danced during the wedding scene. Lydia's heart was no doubt swayed, but she's struggling to come to terms with it. (You can clearly see how she's thinking "what the heck it was for real? This guy really loves me??" I totally didn't notice that the first time I watched that scene).

Anyway I'll leave this one up to here, lest I start repeating my points from the previous post (which I'm already doing, oops lol).

My Tl;dr for this post: Their psychic connection might have formed right after the first wedding, due to it being almost finalized. A link was formed and remained between their souls. Lydia might be keeping that link alive and calling Betelgeuse right back to her, subconsciously.

I will never not be mad about High Isle's story.

They made the Ascendant Lord sound and look like such a bamf and he ended up being Gary from accounting.
