#plotholes everywhere

[doctor-who-sideblog]

Look at me in the eyes and tell me you can explain what happens in season 6

[the-girl-lost-in-fandoms]

the worse part is that Ncuti WAS the reason these two seasons where a joy to watch... i had kind of gave up on doctor who mid-Jodie era but i literally couldn't wait for each new episode these part two years... and i have to say it: the writing was bad, the plotholes were everywhere, no character development, no classic villain episode (i.e. daleks, cybermen, etc), i wasn't that fond of ruby or belinda (they were fine but far from being my favourite companions) so really it was Ncuti's portrayal of the doctor, his energy that made me come back week after week. he really did not deserve this ending.

Ok, imagine Jason wanders in his catatonic state around, and he meets Nico di Angelo. Or more like Nico wanders around, and he finds Jason. Nico immediately knows that something is wrong with Japson. He can sense the death. Nico decides to take the wandering (kind of) zombie with him. I mean, he can't just let this catatonic guy wander around after he escaped the underworld.

Hades or Thanatos never contacts him about a lost soul, so this guy stays with him. He even brings him to camp. When Chiron and Mr. D ask about him, Nico is like, 'Yes, this is my elder brother; he is like a zombie; I found him on the streets.' And that's it. No one questions it. There have been weirder things in Camp Half-Blood. Mr. D doesn't give a fuck; Chiron just accepts it, and the campers are like, 'Ok, cool.'

Slowly Jason regains his consciousness. It starts slow with some talking; he tells Nico his name. Jason recognizes Nico as a little brother, someone he needs to protect, someone who is family, someone who protects him. When they're not at camp, they travel all over the country. Nico and some ghosts train his new brother in sword fighting; Jason learns it fast. In camp, he also learns to fight with a lot of different weapons. Nico has the ongoing theory that before Jason died, he already knew how to fight; he was probably a child soldier or something similar. He was definitely not in the Army, because Jason is too young for that. Soon he becomes one of the best fighters in camp. The Ares kids come up with the theory that Jason was a child of Ares that died and came back to life. The Athena Cabin says the same, since Jason seems to like literature too, so he is smart and he knows how to fight; that means he has to be one of them.

No one can actually prove that. No godly parent claims him; Nico thinks it's because he died and came back

At some point, Nico figures out what happened to him and how he got back. He doesn't want to confront him, but he also knows that Jason has an actual family, and they would probably be thrilled to have him back. But then again, how does someone explain why and how their dead son came back to life? Even if the parent is Batman. (Yes, Nico knows that Bruce Wayne is Batman; ghosts are everywhere, and they love to talk to Nico).

When Jason's mind is completely clear again, Nico talks to him about his family. Jason says he doesn't really want to go back to them because he also sees Nico as his family, and when he can't come along, he doesn't want to go back to his old family. Also, Bruce didn't kill the Joker.

One day Nico and Jason wander around and go to Blüdhaven; some things go south, and they meet Nightwing. Nightwing is like, 'Wait, I know this dude.'. And then he begins to sob. Jason and Nico stand there like, 'This is awkward.'. Now that Nightwing knows, everybody knows. Not too long after they meet Dick (and talk with him), Bruce comes to visit them in New York. Jason and Bruce talk, like actually talk, and not just fight. They come to the agreement that Nico and Jason should move to Gotham with them. Nico is like, 'Didn't Batman have a 'no powers' rule for Gotham?'? Bruce is like, 'Eh, you are my kid now; who cares?'.

This is how Jason and Nico became brothers and chaos gremlins. They love to prank and spy on other people with Nicos powers.

The most unrealistic thing here is probably that Jason and Bruce talk, but Jason learned non-violent coping methods from Will, Sally, and Mr. D. It's a Head canon, this is ment to have plotholes.

genderbending svsss is a really interesting mental exercise.

let's say PIDW is still meant to be a jerkoff fuel harem novel, but luo binghe is its female protagonist.

there are many ways this can go. instead of being a zero-to-hero male revenge fantasy, PIDW could instead have our plucky yet bright MC luo binghe, dogged by misfortune, slowly turn dumber and bustier with every arc. the plot eventually disappears entirely so she can stumble into trouble and get fucked (with widely varying levels of consent) by different attractive men.

it'd be a misogynistic, pornographic logical nightmare that ignores any interesting worldbuilding. peerless cucumber melons ragequits at the end and the new shen qingqiu begins lesbian mommy hours. but as shen yuan fills plotholes, it becomes apparent that luo binghe didn't legitimately turn dumb.

her bimbofication was a defense mechanism of her own-- in a sense, that IS her equivalent of blackening, because nobody will care or bother to help her unless she gives them a taste of her body in exchange. her shizun and the rest of righteous human society hated her from day one. it's a hypocritical madonna-whore complex society out there, and luo binghe will never be accepted as a pure or good maiden. why not just collect men who might dote on her a little?

unlike a male luo binghe, who embraces his demonic side to chase after the masculine ideal of powerful domination, a female luo binghe might cling to her whatever remains of her own humanity, and in doing so atrophy in pursuit of a useless ideal of submission.

her manipulation is playacted mindlessness. she won't ever reach the top of anything meaningful. but that doesn't matter, because this PIDW isn't about girlboss girlwin. it's still male gaze-y porn. the story maintains a thin veneer of framing luo binghe collecting men while staying submissive to them in bed as "her own power", but in truth, she has utterly and completely given up.

being taken advantage of is totally power! appearing unwilling, naive, virginal, and shy is power. she's just a girl... who happens to be half-heavenly demon, and fetishized like hell for it by anyone who knows. her place in the world can't be on the top; that's too ambitious and demonic for a girl like her. her place will be beneath someone else, and she can live with that. she can learn to like it anyway, what with the universe itself conspiring to make her have sex everywhere she goes.

she'll never get the love and care she really craves. so why bother trying to struggle and think and fight for it?

(a moment of silence for the bleak picture i've painted.)

anyway, after shen qingqiu's qi deviation and strange personality shift, i imagine luo binghe would become far less apathetic (and far less interested in men). she'd become closer to the cunning yet sweet and softhearted powerhouse we know her as. and in her desperation to not be thrown away, she'd go to any lengths to prove herself...

Ah Shit, here we go again or: Rewriting the godawful "Your Next" Movie via the Antagonists and their Victims

Disclaimer: THIS MOVIE IS JUST A WORST VERSION OF THE OVERHAUL ARC

Yes and you're going to see that quite alot here. Every MHA movie is an MHA arc done considerably worse to some extent.

MHA Two Heroes is just AM vs AFO on steroids, all flash and no business

MHA: Rising is a bizarre mix of the Overhaul Arc and the MLA's components.

MHA: WHM is also just parts of the Overhaul Arc (Fanatical organization, Anti Quirk weaponry, a Mcguffin we're supposed to give a shit about)

Side Note: The movie's time of events has been changed, now occurring after the events of the Final War Arc.

Part 1: Stokercorp

The Gollini family predates the Era of quirks dating all the way back to the 1920's. The Gollini's weren't particularly large or powerful. Sticking to the shadows until she 100 or so years prior to the emergence of the first quirk users.

In the ensuing chaos and aftermath of the Quirk wars, the Gollini's profited off of protection money and smuggling. Until after the fire truly settled and they realized the European markets had a power vacuum from multiple companies collapsing.

Seizing the opportunity, the Gollini's founded multiple companies, cheif among these being Stokercorp, a packaging company.

They went semi-legit, procuring a gleaming image while still dealing underneath the table. By the time Valdo' father was born, Stokercorp had unofficially consumed it's sister fronts to become an empire. although the sub families that ran these companies remained in power

Valdo's father led Stokercorp into an era of science and tech, his greatest goal being to understand the power of quirks themselves, earning the companies secret motto "Power over All".

Valdo was born out of the need of a heir as was tradition and Valdo's father had already had multiple assassination attempts to his name. He knew his luck would run out eventually.

Growing up Valdo was raised to hone his Alechemy quirk*, he became obsessed with the idea of not just mastering but owning quirks themselves. Reading up on the rumors and tales of AFO's reign* only fueled him further. Leading him to preform the unthinkable... (but we'll get to that.)

(gotta love how this quirk is so OP, the wiki has to resort to bullshit to list a weakness)(It's such a major plot hole how nobody besides AM and some others know about AFO given how much of a threat and influence he was)

The Family

As I hinted at, the Gollini Family isn't one unit, it is made up of multiple smaller families all under the Gollini name. We'll be looking at them from a public perspective

Stokercorp is the biggest, owned by the original Gollini's (albiet the name is hidden), currently headed by Valdo. Research and Development company, dabbled in various sectors. Based in Italy, Rome

L'antre Du Lion. Europe's top fashion brand, designs everything from perfume to runway fashion. Headed by Deborah (Valdo's aunt). Has both as Italian and a French branch.

Bruno's Place. Renamed after Bruno took it from his father (and killed his siblings for it). Jewelery shop and Auxillery, charges exuberant prices for quality (often smuggled or bloodied) gemstones and diamonds.

Mad-Cap Games. A USA based Games and Comic store, a hot spot for nerds, geeks and cosplayers everywhere. Owned by Simon, a real stand up guy, if a tad competitive in DND. (Spawned from the Gollini Italian American branch, originally a board game company, now partners with Stokercorp)

Part 2: Wanda & Petrov (not really)

Let me preface this, unlike Alechemy, I had to rewrite both their quirks because they're either too fucking broken or plotholes (I.e Why didn't Guilino use his quirk in conjuction with Anna's in the first place!)

Personalities:

Anna (The Antithesis), 18

Anna hates her quirk just as much as she hates modern heroism. She believes that in order to save someone, you must truly know them and that "pro" heroes have bastardized the word [Saving] (by being glorified first responders with egos, celebrities and overall monsters (like w Enji)) as they merely rescue people from immediate danger.

Midoriya is like the match to her gasoline, she hates him and his classmates with a passion as burning as the fire that killed her parents. She's very vocal about her contempt for their inability to actually be heroic and their normalization of abuse (systematic and domestic). Anna did her research before coming to Japan and she's not happy.

She only cares for her brother and cares little for anyone beyond that (except maybe her parents and Valdo Sr.), she can be cold to others, often getting physical if they annoy her (arm twisting, choking) and only stopping if Giulio tells her too (takes a moment).

Might be an undiagnosed Sociopath with selective empathy for victims (I.E Rei Himura

Giulio (The Pacifist Knight), 20

Guilio blames himself for being useless, unless to save his parents and useless to save the adoptive father they loved so much. He is very soft spoken and empathetic (to those deserving), he distrusts heroes, especially Japan's. Only willing to work with them when he senses Stokercorp closing in.

He would walk through fire for Anna, he feels like a failure for not being able to protect her and tends to supress his emotions viewing them as unimportant in the face of danger. He's constantly putting himself at risk, subconsciously suicidal to an extent but he won't abandon his sister.

He lost his leg outspeeding a bounty hunter, using his quirk to numb the pain as it was amputated and replaced in a black market. He lost his pointer and middle fingers on his left hand to a bullet. All replaced with black market prosthetics

Quirks

Overmodify: (Similar to the movie concept except actually usable and not just Rewind but worse)

Overmodify is a ranged emitter quirk, when activated, a green aura will flow from Anna's palms, anything or anyone within a radius of 10-15 or so feet, will slowly begins to change, the closer to Anna, the more rapid and powerful the evolution.

As Anna continues to use her quirk, the color will shift to purple and the radius expands considerably (30 and climbing), however it is more chaotic, the changes more hectic and unstable. They can even destabilize whatever or whomever is effected.

When Anna has nothing left to give, her quirk turns inwards and stops, painful muscle spasms occur, leaving her sore and nauseous. Her hair and body dulls, eyes losing their light. This goes on for approximately 3 days as she recovers.

Nullify: Nullify is a contact based emitter quirk that temporarily numbs and weakens whatever Giulio touches. It is not true negation as it is simply suppressing the effects in a bid to outlast them.

(I.e. he could make a potential 3rd degree burn into 1st degree, if the burn isn't settled. If it blisters he can soothe the pain and potentially stop nerve damage but the skin would still scar)

His iris' glow blue when he does this. The toll is he gets hella migraines from using it in quick bursts (he can deal with long uses as that is the quirk's nature)

Origins:

Essentially after an "incident" involving a quirk enduced firestorm wiped out their village, Anna and Giulio were left to fend for themselves in the ashes of their war torn nation. (Anna was 12 and Guilio 14)

Due to the sheer trauma of losing their parents to the flames and their quirks being useless against them (Anna loathes hers, believing she amplified the flames). Both siblings supress and hide their quirks viewing the ailments of doing so as deserved (a sort of self punishment)

Eventually they were discovered and adopted by Valdo's father, who had no idea of their quirks until an assassination attempt was made.

This is where Valdo's obsession began, if these quirks could he honed and utilized, who knew what heights they (namely he) could reach.

Naturally the Siblings were hesitant and Valdo's father respected that wish, they were family after all. So Valdo devised a scheme to force Anna and Giulio to learn by force, he began dragging them into the underworld, putting them in situations where they had to use their quirk. Simultaneously using the victories won in these situation to consolidate power amongst the sub-famlies and gain loyalty.

(In one instance: Valdo used Giulio's caring nature against him by poisoning his own men and leaving for a "mission", Giulio was forced to use his quirks to ease their pain and stave off the effects. This was to test limits and take Data)

The Siblings were gaslit into believing this was for their benefit, framed under the guise of repaying the family for pulling them from the gutter.

Eventually, Valdo's father found out and arranged a private meeting with Valdo, Valdo used Alchemy to kill him discretely, giving his father a brain eating amoeba to ensure his silence and retirement. Bruno helps him cover it up by distracting with a well placed party

Valdo learns of All Might's retirement and begins looking into his history, learning of OFA'S stockpiling nature by putting 2 and 2 together (Valdo's childhood readings combined with Midoriya's sudden quirk manifestations). He begins looking for a way to replicate the storage of OFA

Shortly after, the Siblings learned of what Valdo had done and fled, stealing a motorcycle and escaping from Stokercorp tower. Valdo sends mercenaries to bring them back to him for his plans. The Siblings move frequently.

To PART 2 (W.I.P)

[cripplecharacters]

Is it weird to write people w/ different impairments just as npcs and folk your characters may see once and never again. I don't want it to feel like pandering, or that they're added without second thought. I just feel it'd be nice for them to exist in the world. This would ofc be mixed in with longer-term impaired characters, mixed with uninpaired, and everything inbetween.

I feel that I have some internal biases that have been in my brain since childhood, ones that I am trying to deconstruct. So, I felt that writing short stories of people NOT like me could help.

Hey

I think that's great. Certainly not weird. Disabled people exist everywhere, as do minorities in general - I mean, it would be bizarre if every NPC ever was a white, abled man. That wouldn't reflect reality.

I definitely wouldn't count it as "pandering", and the "adding without second thought" shouldn't be a problem if you're thinking of the particular NPC just making sense in the setting - maybe putting a non-ambulatory wheelchair user on top of a giant mountain without any wheelchair-accessible way up would be a bit of a plothole - but just disabled people existing is just kinda how it is IRL.

I feel like trying to include many disabled people in various roles and seeing what patterns pop up is a great way to see what one's biases exactly are. As an example that I see a lot, a fascinating amount of characters with facial differences are related to violence or "toughness", but close to never are they associated with tenderness or optimism, and I genuinely wish more writers did some sort of "bias check" to see if all their X characters just "happen" to fall into a certain box. Like maybe instead of being the war veteran spy executioner, the NPC with the facial difference is a tea shop owner or a kindergarten teacher? There are so many things we could be doing. Don't be afraid to be creative and show disabled characters in roles we don't usually get to be.

Sorry for the three paragraphs needed to say "no it's not weird", but I hope it helps.

1x04 - Pantom Traveler

Score: 8

So much lore in one episode! We've got our first demon (with black smoke, black eyes, sulfur, holy water, exorcism), our first homemade EMF meter, first fake IDs, first official suits. Why did they forget/abandon the Christo thing though? It was so cool!

The writers were really smart, introducing Dean in the episode as a fearless man, and then exposing him to his greatest fear: flying. The boys were given a chance at comedy (R2's Then and Now) and Thank God! I loved Jensen's acting!

And Sam really pisses me off... He's getting better and knows how to soothe interviews. But he's always judgemental and condescending toward his brother. He should be praising him for building an EMF meter out of a busted-up walkman. Instead, he mocks him. And yeah, if Dean didn't ask the translation of God in latin, it's because he knew it already.

At this point in the season, I don't understand the way the writers chose to depict Sam. He's supposed to be the heart of the story, on a vengeful quest after his girlfriend was killed. But we still don't know much about him, whereas we know A LOT about Dean (what he likes, his skills, his childhood, his fears).

Are we supposed to connect with Sam just through the situations he's in?

1x04 in a nutshell:

Score in details:

Dean is bi: 0 pt (though he checks out the girl getting inside the Copy Jack when he's leaving the shop)

Sexy shots: 1 pt (Dean sleeping in tiny shorts)

First introduction of beloved characters/guests/well known actors: 1 pt (first demon)

Banger quotes: 3 pts ("What are you, nuts?" Said by the guy who put himself in a psychiatric hospital/"Why do you think I drive everywhere, Sam?"/"Just try to relax." "Just try to shut up")

Bonus: 4 pts (Music/Lore: first demon, first fake IDs, first official suit, EMF meter made out of a busted-up walkman, first exorcism in latin/Jensen's acting skills/practical effects)

Malus: 1 pt (Plothole: why did the brothers choose the emergency exit at the airport? They had no way of knowing they were busted)

DEITY AU (masterpost)

@314immortaldonkeys

so! this is my deity au, otherwise known as

of gods and monsters

i have written one gempearl one shot, ships are currently gempearl and scarian but may change depending on who asks for what pairing.

please do send in asks for drabbles/oneshots, sorry if i take a while to respond!

here is the gempearl oneshot

the official list of gods! subject to change if i find plotholes or want to change shit

sorry that half of them don't have the descriptions i only have the ones that i wrote like a month ago and are rotting in my writing notebook(s)

Grian is the sun god, brilliant, brutal, and entirely unforgiving. He rules the earth half the time, giving the night to the moon, his sibling. He meets his lover in a flash of light and colour and vibrance, and leaves him in the same way. Godly name: Sol

Pearl is the moon goddess. Her calm magnificence does not rival the sun, but merely because she does not choose to. They do not compete, for they are so utterly different. She can be calm, but the moon is not always predictable, though its waxing and waning may be so. She calls for blood at times, others she is a steadfast and silent pacifist. Pearl may be slow to anger, but her wrath is cold and hard. Perhaps her lover, goddess of war is proof. Godly name: Luun

Jimmy is the god of fate. His birds are the harbingers of destiny, whether great or terrible. Fate is a web of interweaving threads of possibility, and to manipulate them is Jimmy's role. He also controls the prophets and soothsayers. Curses and blessings fall under his domain too, as a mark of one broken by him in an old, old game. Godly name: Naz

Now is not the time to speak of this game, but perhaps I'll tell it another time.

Scar is the god of the earth. To shift mountains and transform plains is his power, though he does not truly control the things that live in it. Steady and solid, he can be obstinate at times. However, the earth is not always quiet, and fire and brimstone lurk beneath it's surface. In the same way, Scar is not always the same. Godly name: Essor

Cleo is the deity of the dead. Their realm is everywhere and nowhere at once, superimposed across space. She also deals in souls and righteous punishment. They oversee where souls go after the body dies. Godly name: Mor

Etho is the god of silence and silent killing, patron of assassins and spies. Godly name: Sarn

Joel is the god of anger, recklessness, fear. Godly name: Maian

Martyn is the god of the ocean. (currently no godly name, ideas are welcome)

Lizzie is the goddess of the dark & shadows. Godly name: Xarad

Scott is the god of the stars. Godly name: Vespera

Tango is the god of fire. Godly name: Aratiri

charolyn has excellent themed names go charolyn

[trashogram]

I've been seeing posts about how people would re-write Helluva/Hazbin, and it got me thinking about how I would re-write it as well. And... I have many many thoughts about all the characters and the writing 😅😅😅

But your posts and our talks have been a huge inspiration for me, and I wanted to share my thoughts with you! If you're interested ^^ of course, feel free to ignore this if it's not your cup of tea. I wish I could get into it all in one ask, but that'd be impossible. So I'll start with an easy one.

Striker and Hell's Assasins

It'd be easier if I do this in bullet points, so-

As we all know, Striker was perfect in his debut. An antagonist who does have an ego, but who also had some good points about Hell's society and great chemistry with the cast. That was until Viv blasted an atomic nuke onto his character...

I think i would keep Striker mainly the same as he was in Harvest Moon, and of course, not use him as the butt of jokes. I'd also want to flesh out deep-rooted insecurities he could have had and explore on his past, and maybe turn him into an anti-hero or lawful villain by the end of the series. I think your suggestion of his family being enslaved or killed by royalty is a great idea for his past and motives! And it explains why he lives in the mine shaft; they royals destroyed his home, and they would never look for him down there.

Which is a perfect Segway into my thoughts on how assasins work in Hell. Obviously, with it being Hell, that's probably a thriving business. However, not exactly for imps. As we are told, the only businesses an imp could hope to start on their own are related to agriculture. Otherwise, they are right alongside Hellhounds only working for others. As such, in my re-write, Blitzø and his crew and Striker are the only imp assasins in Hell, and that is a big reason on how they all have gained a reputation for themselves. Striker and I.M.P. have had to face mockery and prejudice in their rise to the top, and could become two sides of the same coin.

In my re-write, Striker would try to disguise himself in some way when he goes out on hits, if he can't snipe them from a distance like Stolas. Why? Well, Satan has heard whispers of an imp hybrid who is killing royalty. The rest of the assasins in Hell? They can all kill each other for all he cares. But his lowly creations going against the system? That is unforgivable. And that is how the wanted posters for Striker got posted everywhere. Striker's poncho and bandana would become core pieces of his design in my re-write, since those are how he conceals his identity. And his wanted posters depict a mysterious silhouette that's too fast for the camera to capture his likeness.

That's why in my Biker AU, people aren't too sure who Striker is. They know him as the showboating but hardworking farmland for hire that often disappears without much explanation, but they don't know he's a wanted assasin. And why him being an assassin is such a shock and a terrifying thing for Bella. (But on the other hand, as i type this, I realize this is a plothole; why isn't Striker trying to be cautious in town as well if Satan and possibly the goetia are after him? If you post this, I'll comment on it when I figure this out 😅 or just add it to my next ask if you'd like ^^)

And what about I.M.P.? They are notorious, yes, but they aren't wanted by the hierarchy of Hell (yet). They haven't killed any royalty, so the goetia and the sins are ok with just sweeping them under the rug. Sure, Blitzø started his business, but the system is rigged against imps already. He and his team were doomed to fail from the beginning. Makes you wonder what would have happened if Striker chose to stick with I.M.P.

I hope this covers everything? This was a more experimental/easy one I guess? But with how much of a tangled mess Vivs world is, this feels like I'm trying to comb through knots 😅 if you want to see more, I'm planning on doing asks like this for the majority of the HB cast and episodes. I'm thinking of doing Millie and Moxxie after this one.

I hope you enjoy reading these! And of course, if you have any questions, I'd love to hear it!

This 👏 is 👏 how 👏 you👏 do 👏 it 👏

You’re adding structure to Hell and building it up as a world with rules and generalized behaviors yet also adding mystery and intrigue (like Striker’s disguise and the inability to capture his likeness for the Wanted Posters) and stakes!, to the story and characters.

I love that I.M.P. and then Striker, although he’s an unknown entity to Hell’s citizens/royalty, are the only imp assassins. And of course they get written off (not including Striker) bc they’re seen as so lowly and a non-issue — until they eventually get more than just gossip across rings, inevitably.

With this, there would be momentum building up something like I.M.P. being brought before Satan and the court of Sins. It would have real weight to it, instead of being an excuse for romantic melodrama.

(I also love Striker potentially being an anti-hero! That would be fun to explore and see how it would come about, since he’s so inherently vicious.)

[dayshift-confessions]

Idk why but the fandom just pretend this doesn't even exist since they're focused on only the main lore or most of the time, purple and orange men.

But people need to realize how much DSAF truly has, but it's just so slept on some things remain completely obscure like heck, JUST NOW A FEW MONTHS PEOPLE FOUND A NEVER SEEN BEFORE CUTSCENE IN ONE OF THE SIDE ENDINGS IN THE 2ND GAME?? HELLO!! DSAF 2 IS 7 YEARS OLD AND IT WAS RECENTLY REDISCOVERED AFTER BEJNG COMPLETELY LOST TO OBSCURITY

Like there's so much side content in DSAF if you fly away from the main lore and focus on the side endings and stupid things, heck some stuff in the lore is also lost to obscurity like Afton Robotics, the five managers, the company computer in DSAF 3 (to the ones who care ily)

It's so fun to research and fuck around tryna figure out the lore and get sad that no one cares because they focus on the main thing and only that

But, ofc there's potential side answers to wby no one seems to care and it's because some things just don't seem to have extra lore expanded or plot holes like, how on godreds name did jack get that flip side machine? Did anyone ever notice that???

Y'all should honestly try to worldbuild lr expand and maybe fill up plotholes on the current elements to make some stuff feel more natural and..heh! More amgsty, trust me it's fun

Apologies if my topics are hell all over the place isk how to build an essay cuz there's so much to discuss EEGEHAJA idk, maybe the reason why they don't seme to focus is probably because they aren't a die hard fan like me because SNED HELO OH MY GOD I'M TOO BRAINROTTED IN DSAF AND I CONSUKE EVERY PIECENOF LORE I GET. I SCAVENGE THE LANDS LF DOGGOS TUMBLR AND EVERYWHERE ELSE TO GRAB SCRAPS OF LORE LIKE A PREDATOR LOOKING FOR PREY EEGEHAHAHHSH cuz usually when people aren't this brainrotted in certain media they don't focus on the smaller picture snd just the big picture but still it would be nice for people to atleast bat thier eye on kt:((((((((

[crystalli-69]

Good greatness, writing or scripting anything related to Teen Wolf ain’t for the weak, i swear to god.

LIKE WHO THE FUCK WROTE THIS SHIT-

Like for real, everything goes in circles in a mess you can’t even comprehend. The Hale family? A complete mistery. Malia’s general thing after she got back??? HOW THE FUCK DID CORA SURVIVE THE FIRE???

And let’s not talk about the way they wrote some characters to then absolutely destroying their growth. And also leaving plotholes everywhere and forgetting the same subplots they made???

But i guess that what makes it fun???

I just take shit from fanfics at this point for ideas to fill the holes the show has😭, like i just made my own Hale Family tree and im pretty sure it isn’t even finished.

[vickyvicarious]

Once more have I seen the Count go out in his lizard fashion. He moved downwards in a sidelong way, some hundred feet down, and a good deal to the left. He vanished into some hole or window.

I love how quickly Jonathan goes from "repulsion and terror" at Dracula's lizard crawl to just, "ugh. that again." It's really funny.

But also, there's some interesting castle layout details in this entry. We know that Dracula's coming out from his room about a story below where Jonathan was looking and to his left - but that's after Jonathan took the stairs up to look out a higher window (a detail I missed the other day), so his room is probably on the same level as Dracula's. So, in order to leave the castle, he goes down a hundred feet more and much further left... but that's not enough to get to solid ground it seems. Instead it takes him back inside somewhere - and yet Jonathan seems uncharacteristically certain that Dracula has left the castle entirely. He's confident enough in this that he embarks on a thorough, lengthy, and at times possibly quiet loud search of everywhere he can reach.

I'm not sure if this is a plothole or if there is supposed to be some way that this path down the wall lets you leave. Did Jonathan see him do the exact same thing last time, and just not mention the details because he was so horrified at the method of movement? It could make sense, because he heard Dracula return in through the front door after going down the wall that way. And it would match up with Dracula not being here after going that way today.

But that raises the question of what sort of window or hole he's going into. Is there some kind of secret tunnel through part of the cliff, only accessible by going down the wall? Does this path lead to some part of the courtyard that is just too hard to see from where Jonathan is?

Finally, the broken door to the room Jonathan assumes belonged to ladies... that's "in a wing of the castle further to the right than the rooms I knew and a storey lower down." So it seems like this is probably on nearly the opposite side of the castle from Dracula's room (and Jonathan's room closer to Dracula but still in between) as well as being on a different floor. It's further from the front door, but with that blocked off regardless, this may be the furthest room from Dracula's that Jonathan can enter. If so, I understand why he wants to hang out there. Even with the crucifix above his bed, he obviously doesn't feel safe there. In fact, he speaks of his rooms as almost the same as Dracula's:

Still, it was better than living alone in the rooms which I had come to hate from the presence of the Count,

No distinction there between 'public' areas like the library, and his own rooms. Obviously, Dracula has been keeping up his habit of casually just walking in to Jonathan's room. Or at the very least, Jonathan feels no certainty that he won't do so in the future. This suggests that Jonathan's rooms might not even have a lock at all. He doesn't mention it either way, but if it does he clearly expects Dracula to have a key that would let him in whenever he wants anyway.

This is interesting because I basically see the other way in my fandom, they even spread misinformation everywhere, treating headcanon as canon.

Don't get me wrong I'm pretty sure that there are still people who are obsessed with canon and for them steering from it just a little bit is a cardinal sin (which I also think it's stupid like OP) In my fandom they even twisted canon and basically tricked themselves that headcanon is the canon to the point that they believe that the author is lesbophobic, because one of the female protagonist has a male interest, and they headcanon her as a lesbian (even though she had a different boyfriend at the beginning of the story, so she would be bi then)

A youtube channel that makes videos of the story has a seperate series of videos where they clear up a lot of misconceptions people believe are canon. And points out that the many plotholes people make memes about aren't even there, it's just that a lot of people didn't watch/read the original scource at all and again, thought that headcanons are canon.

I think there should be some kind of healthy balance? Or at least like knowing the canon before throwing it out? If I write something I always do the latter. Like you know knowing the rules before going against them.

im remembering a really goofy plothole from sc2

on more than one occasion they've had to go to a new country for their heist and that new country is ON A DIFFERENT CONTINENT.

it's established they always drive everywhere. doesn't matter where, it's always via their van.

to highlight the absurdity of it-

chapter 5 takes place in prague, chapter 6 in canada. they'd have to cross the atlantic ocean for that.

... THROUGH A FUCKING VAN.

Meditation Chamber Decor game

Is what i'm tentatively naming it lmao

got tagged by @chubritza

Rules: Choose 10 objects that you will place in the room of your Rooks in the places intended for customization. These should be small objects that can be placed in the following places: 2 on the tables by the doors, 2 on the tables by the aquarium, 4 on the bookcases, and 2 on the walls. Attach a photo of these objects and give a short description of why your Rooks chose them.

hoo boi. In game I have the coffee maker, the blue crow mask, the bowl of crystals and then I cheated to unlock all decors ever and the rest is just alll of the plants

Tables by the doors: right: Beauty Station

Daisy just reaaally likes embellishing herself [same]. Bc this table is next to the wardrobe, there's all the beautification equipment there. Makeup, jewellery, nail polish, everyday haircare... In game: Brona's Bloom Bouquet

left: aesthetic clutter

girliepop is highkey a hoarder. if it hasn't found a permanent space yet, it goes on that table. just dump everything on there. in game: Hinterlands Oak

Aquarium tables both of 'em: p l a n t s

lots of plants. thats it. there's hella plants everywhere in treviso. I imagine if a trevisan looked at the fish tank like a window sill, they'd be like "why don't they have planters on their windows whats wrong with them".

also that little milk can with the singular daisy in it from the in-game files. I imagine lucanis&daisy weren't entirely sober walking through the market and Lucanis just thought it would be the singular most funniest thing in the entire thedosian history if he bought his one daisy one daisy. it never wilts bc this is the lighthouse. Shit doesn't die here. In game, it's the Antivan Coffee Maker (left) and the Terrarium Stand (right) that I've grown attached to before I realized I could cheat the Daisy into the game.

bookshelf spots: behind the sofa: TBR pile and white noise source

Daisy is from Treviso (don't worry about how that works if House de Riva hails from Salle, that's a Bioware plothole, not a Rina plothole), so I think at some point she'd miss the sound of water in the canals. Water in a fish tank just doesn't make the same sound. Hence, mini water fountain. Also Bookpiles, bc Lucanis recommends a lot of books and she endavors to read them. in game: Novella Collection and Beloved Textbooks

wardrobe side (left): crystal display

listen, Daisy is nothing if not a self-insert. I got no excuse for this exept they made gems a whole ass valuables system in game, there's a bowl of crystals you can obtain to put in Rook's room, there's a scammy crystal guy in treviso, and this is an OC i can do what I want. in game: Glittering Gems

other side (right): snack table

pictures are symbolic. There's always something edible on there bc daisy's idea of multitasking is stuffing her mouth. Most of the time it's a bowl of lychee and some chocolate, but sometimes it'll be like a charcuterie board, or some bread and herb butter, or just dinner leftovers. Depending on what's in the kitchen when she goes to refill. in game: Azure Crow Mask

wall art: left (above crystals:) Calligraphy

bestie killed the target that made her the full-fledged Crow she is, went to a prolific calligrapher and had them turn her target's last words into art to put up in her house. in game: The Soul's Journey hanging

right (above food): Spite's abstract paintings

this is essentially a Fridge Gallery. Using this artwork I found via googling "crow painting abstract", but also the parts of Lucanis' logbooks where he just does lineart. in game: Spirit Painting

The only plothole is that everyone knows where the safehouse is. It’s not really a safehouse, more of a big open brightly lit space next to giant door. Visible from pretty much everywhere on that floor.

Ah true. It could be some other info then. Not sure what but I’m sure there could be something
