An AU of @jojo-schmo AU where, instead of traveling by foot, they go on a road trip instead:

The song I imagine playing throughout the entire thing:

The episode 6 "don't follow my speed" comment is definitely a prelude to the more internal difficulties Thame and Po are likely to face in the back half of this series. In Po's past relationship he dedicated himself to his ex's professional goals, this time Po is already dedicated to Thame's goals, first by way of his current job and then by teaming up to help him reunite the band. He's basically reverse engineered his past relationship. And although I am sure eventually the story this time will go differently, I think even the fact that on the surface it might feel similar is going to be a challenge for Po.

How do you stand firm in who you are when the person next to you takes up most of the space in the room? But honestly, I think for Po that was never really the problem, as long as the person who was next to him actually saw him. And Thame shows over and over that he pays attention to Po in a different way.

I have a question regarding Asgard prisons. (English is not my first language)

perhaps prisoners are prevented from harming themselves in some way? Is it due to some magical property of the cell or due to the guards monitoring it?

because, unlike the way cells work in our world (prisoners can leave their cells and communicate with other prisoners), these cells seem to work in a way that never allows prisoners to leave. not even dimming the lights for a few moments. and it seems logical to think that such a condition, if prolonged for a long time, would lead anyone to go mad. 

so it wouldn't surprise me if someone decided to escape from that condition by attempting to commit suicide. and this would especially apply to those sentenced to life imprisonment.

for example, loki is already suicidal. and after the many traumatic experiences he has been through, it seems logical to assume that he would just like to get it over with. just as he implied in the dialogue with Odin. but apparently, even he who has this desire and has already tried to do it in the past, is not trying to do it again now. After all, if someone were to commit suicide, he would be running away from serving his sentence. which in the case of life imprisonment is even a better prospect.

so it would make sense to think that Loki isn't performing such an act (but instead he finds himself forced to use illusions to pass the time and keep himself from going mad) because he is unable to do so for some reason. what do you think?

ps. I have another important and fundamental question. but how do they go to the bathroom? the cells are transparent, they have no privacy spaces. furthermore they don't even have toilets or buckets in which they can do their business -.-

The dungeons are the highest security prison of Asgard (because I don't doubt there are other prison establishments intended for civilians with lesser penalties as well as a military prison which is separate). I think the dungeons are designed for outworlders, particularly dangerous individuals such as mages and people with a life sentence. They are located deep under the palace and were the second structure built by king Buri. The cells within the dungeons were upgraded later, supposedly during Bor or Odin's reign.

'perhaps prisoners are prevented from harming themselves in some way?'

Oh yes, definitely. If you look at the cells, they are completely empty (yes, Loki's was an exception, obviously), white and lit by bright lights from above. This is very much intentional.

no furnishing -> no objects to harm yourself with. (This is why I say it was incredibly risky to give Loki a glass carefe as well as a mirror...combine that with illusion use.)

the lights -> From what we've seen, the lights were constantly on. We didn't get to see the dungeons at night but with the little regard of the prisoners' wellbeing, I think it's safe to assume they priorise security and thus keep them on to grant continuous access for the guards to see the cells' interiors. Of course, that makes is nearly impossible for the prisoners to discern the night from the day, unless they choose to mentally keep track of the guards' daily schedule which must be challenging in a long-term sense.

personal possessions -> Keeping in mind Loki was an exception and the prisoners we saw were the ones arrested on Vanaheim (and so probably overwhelmed the spaces available + Odin's guards are not the most skilled bunch), I'd say that generally, personal posessions would be taken upon the prisoner's arrival to the dungeons and stored/repurposed. Again, meaning nothing to harm yourself with or to use as an aid of escape. On a similar note, I think that the most common number of prisoners is one ..or more (if they don't pose a threat to themselves or each other).

no visits -> As we saw, all visit were strictly forbidden with the exception of the king or his direct or indirect permission to let somebody else visit. But even then, I take it that any physical contact is strictly prohibitted.

the energy barriers -> My personal headcanon is that the patterns we see make up these barriers are a binding spell. Most of the cells are equipped with one barrier, with the exception of the corner cells which have two, supposedly for increased supervision by the Einherjar stationed by the entrance gate.

'for example, loki is already suicidal. and after the many traumatic experiences he has been through, it seems logical to assume that he would just like to get it over with. just as he implied in the dialogue with Odin. but apparently, even he who has this desire and has already tried to do it in the past, is not trying to do it again now.'

I simply think Loki was too apathetic to act on anything (yet). I know that to us, a year and a half seems long but he was still coming out of an incredibly stressful course of events and the survival mode that came with that. He was depressed and probably too aware that would he try to take his life, his plans would most likely fail. His illusions would either flicker or dispel before he died and the guards would step in. The barriers themselves are not strong enough to kill (they can't be, that would be too easy) and would alert the Einherjar as well. In all of his depression, he is a strategist, if not under dire pressure, he waits to see how things unravel. Again, a year and a half seems longer to us than to the Aesir with the context of their longevity.

(but instead he finds himself forced to use illusions to pass the time and keep himself from going mad)

He is highly intelligent, the cells are designed to inflict mental torture on their own (mostly sensory deprivarion) so imagine that coupled with a mind like his. He had to create some stimuli to keep himself occupied because what else was there to do. They took everything from him and his magic was the one thing they couldn't touch. Of course he used it to hold on to the last bits of sanity he had left.

'ps. I have another important and fundamental question. but how do they go to the bathroom? the cells are transparent, they have no privacy spaces. furthermore they don't even have toilets or buckets in which they can do their business -.-'

Not a topic I gave too much thought to but @helshades had written a post covering this. I wonder how they distributed the meals there, I suppose there must be a rule on how many you can skip before they give you a tube or something. Similar to our wards.

Is it strange of me to find comfort in death? I dont wish for it by any means, but i find a strange peace in it. The clock is always ticking. Nothing stays the same forever. Everything dies eventually, this fate we are united by. From dust we all have risen, and to dust we will all return. Maybe on a cosmic scale nothing we do matters, but isnt that the joy of it all? I dont quite know how to explain it. Were all going to die, so lets use what fleeting time we have to make as many people smile as possible. The abyss will consume all in the end, so really, whats the point of hatred anyways? To borrow from a great manga, when I become stardust, a comet streaking through the sky... Well I hope it can brighten someone's day.

Yes to err is to human, and isnt that such a wonderful thing to be?

Quickly addressing the elephant in the room when it comes to similarities between two of my favorite characters, Ned and Simon: similar outfits and character designs in general.

The shirt, the glasses, the shoes, literally the whole outfit is similar. Not exactly the same, but it’s close. I’m sure it’s pure coincidence but I’ve thought about this for so long it’s not even funny.

I even made a full-color edit of Simon using Ned’s color palette to prove that point.

The fact that both characters have a main gimmick of traveling to imaginary worlds to escape reality sticks with me too, although each character does so through different means and for different reasons, with Ned exploring and trying to conquer his nightmares while Simon has his chalk drawing world. It’s a freaky coincidence if you think about it. /pos

Anywho just a funni analysis of two of my favorite cartoons before bed ig
