#probably she can fix anything

[inconsistentlywrittensoul]

The Dark Age thoughts:

Willow, on Giles and Jenny: "Feel the Passion" no Willow don't say that that's the name of an episode you're doing forshadowing

The magic as drugs metaphor is embarrassingly on the nose and afterschool special-y. Thankfully, this is the last time in Buffy the Vampire Slayer this problem ever occurs

Buffy trusting Angel to take the box of blood to the hospital. You can see the gears in his head turning. "Am I seriously going to do this? Just because she asked? And, I guess, to be a good person? ... Goddamnit." Another decent showing for Angel being a vaguely functioning person.

Eyghon-Jenny better not awaken anything in m-- Wait, no. Already awakened. Forget I said anything.

'Ripper' really does basically amount to 'Giles was young once'. And he's going to continue feeling great shame over that fact for the rest of the series.

Look at Willow, taking charge! Sure, she didn't know her plan would work, and she risked Angel's life for it, but everything worked out, so it's fine.

Imagine this takes place at the end of step 2 so they're close enough to joke around with each other lol

How Homestuck Beyond Canon Candy Timeline has/will have parallels with Homestuck proper around and during the events of [S] Game Over

Jane Crocker heavily aligned/influenced by with Crocker Corp. Notice how her neck accessory looks very similar to the Crocker computer tiara. There's also the circuits surrounding the button, which are reminiscent of Crockertier Jane's visual mind control effect by The Condesce.

Jane also kind of looks like The Condesce with how she's silhouetted here.

The head of Crocker Corporation on a large Crocker space ship. A ship which I would like to point out looks eerily similar to the ship that The Condesce flies around in except the forks/sporks are facing the opposite direction and it's got black on it instead of mostly red.

Jake dying at the hands of Crocker influenced Jane and coming back to life parallels with this Jane coming close to killing Jake, but stopping right before death. Same green text too.

The cast of characters surrounding this time in the comic are also similar.

We also got the whole Crocker laser beam of death being hinted at which we've absolutely seen before.

I talked about this in one of my previous theories, Jake is getting a better grasp of his hope powers; so, I think we could see another hope explosion again in some capacity out of Jake's concern for Tavvy.

I could also totally see Jake being held hostage by one of the Crocker Clones A.K.A. the Brig Boys and Kanaya cutting them up with her chainsaw (hopefully avoiding Jake).

This is more of a little side detail, but Vriska is once again on the sidelines while this massive important fight takes place because she's trapped in her own personal Hell this time.

CHARACTER DEATH FLAGS - I don't know how to organize this post and there was a lot more potential evidence to this than I thought there was going into it.

Let me preface this with the fact that the existential split between Meat and Candy sometimes seems to try to course correct itself and much like certain peoples DNIs, it doesn't want any doubles. We see this with Dirk, Dave (he died even if he ascended to ultimate self afterwards), June/J/John, Terezi(seemingly), Meenah (her other self is in the black hole with Lord English so we can't necessarily confirm death but yknow), Aradia (is just Aradia), Gamzee, Calliope (that is a whole complex situation), and Rose (if her future sight is correct, but we'll get to that). Those are the only examples I can think of at this time, but it's absolutely a repeating pattern of the universe sort of course-correcting to have only one of each of our main characters exist at a time. This, at least in the cases of Dirk, Dave, & Rose seems to be related to the ascension to ultimate self, but we can't really say if that's why the other characters only get one existence at this time.

Karkat has has at least 2 deaths from around this time, one involving Crockertier Jane as well which could be a sign of things to come.

Rose's death flag is that she has literally foreseen her death in her future sight. She is thinking about Kanaya and Roxy in the same thought process while seeing her own death, feeling full of regret (even though she's trying to repress her own feelings) about her relationship to Roxy and Kanaya. Very similar to her being regretful as she was dying in Roxy's arms. I'm also guessing the bullet that hits her will be from Jake's gun, just throwing that out as a possibility.

ROSE: What... ROSE: Happened to me? ROXY: the witch got u ROXY: with her fork ROXY: but youre gonna be ok ROSE: Oh. ROSE: That's nice. ROSE: *Cough.* ROXY: maybe you uh ROXY: shouldnt try to talk now ROSE: You saved me, didn't you? ROXY: ... ROSE: Thanks. ROSE: But, ROSE: She's gone, isn't she. ROSE: For good, I mean. ROXY: ? ROSE: I saw her die. ROSE: And. ROSE: It's a shame how... ROSE: *Cough.* ROSE: A shame that I never even... ROSE: Got to tell her... ROSE: I loved her. ROXY: who?

ROSE: Kanaya. ROSE: But... ROSE: You too, mom.

Kanaya also has a death flag here in getting hit by The Condesce's laser beam of death, but it's more of a maybe given that we see Rose's future vision of Kanaya holding her body in her arms. Keep in mind though we also had this bit of dialogue about the reliability of future sight right before we saw that vision.

JADE: dont forget im more than a little versed in future sight myself ok JADE: i dont care how credible it seems, you cant depend on that information!

Jake and Jane are also on the chopping block potentially, but I can't think of a way at this time, unless Kanaya mistakes Jake for one of the clones amidst her rage and ends up cutting through him along with the Crocker clones. The one pictured below was done by Aranea who is out of the story. Maybe Meenah's trident hits Jake somehow or something, I don't know. We also have meat Jake and Jane who are doing more okay.

On top of the parallels to the doomed timeline that was [S] Game Over, we also had Vriska say that this reality was fake and didn't matter. I'm paraphrasing and I don't know if we'll get a doomed timeline situation yet with the 4 kids still in it, but I just thought the amount of parallels was interesting & worth pointing out.

I also wanted to get this out before the next update in case it's related to the flash animation and any of my predictions come true.

Alternatively I think the flash animation will be Ultimate Dirk kick starting his SBURB home brew session on Deltritus. He probably has all the tech and narrative powers to do it based on what we've seen, they just need a species they'll both be satisfied with as the players for the session.

Fans can cry all they want and lie about "my character gets so much hate" but the only reality here is that Elain is the only character who is shipped with an abuser and most of the fandom applauds that shit, so don't come here and say that your character is hated because you don't know shit.

i think bickel and nickloon are both extremely Toxic but in different ways tbh. w/ nickloon they actually did not like each other and nickel spent a lot of his time abusing balloon and balloon was a jerk to him too but by the end they have a lot more communication and genuine respect. like they've talked abt stuff and worked through their emotions and have a playful fun relationship. Forgive & forget

with bickel there was never a moment where they didnt absolutely love adore & respect each other but that could not save them bcuz they bring out the worst in each other and enable each other's biggest flaws and weaknesses. baseball adores nickel and doesnt know how to stand up to him, nickel doesnt understand social cues and thinks baseball is just the greatest ever. mutually assured destruction. nickel and balloon's relationship is pretty much healthy by the end of s3 but baseball and nickel would need to work through SO MUCH in couples therapy for them to be good for each other. They dont need time away from each other or open communication at this point they need a team of people. they need to particpate in a clinical study. they dont know how to define themselves outside of each other!!!!

<- saying this as someone who enjoys both nickloon and bickel as ships but Honestly prefers bickel it just speaks to me more. love the trope of two freaked up nerds who have loved each other forever. their love is never in question, their relationship is never the source of any conflict. they just make everyone around them worse instead <3

yk what. Maybe I will hop on the trend and take a break from American political news for a while. I don't even live there so it won't affect me, unless it does in which case Canadian news outlets will report on it. I trust my muties will let me know if the shit really hits the fan. There's no way I won't hear, anyway, my housemates are all pretty into the news anyway. I really don't stand to benefit from any of it, and in the situations where I genuinely need to be informed of something, I'll still find out. All it'll do is make me upset, and I really don't need that in my life rn. thx @gummy-worms-in-my-brain for suggesting it last night. I thought about what you said, and you were right, so. Blocking some tags, setting up some filters, all that jazz.

some bobbles (+ two unfinished things)

[waywardsalt]

with my phantom hourglass replay, there are two things i noticed;

a possible theme you could glean from the game is action vs inaction, and i think it's especially prevalent before you even leave mercay the first time, with oshus frequently urging link to not go after the ghost ship, then to just wait until the broken bridge is fixed, and seems reluctant at every turn while link and ciela are more than eager to go and do something about this problem, and the people of mercay in general talking about things and their problems but never seeming to act on their fears or desires, as well as the mention that due to the ghost ship, very very few people are still sailing around, while linebeck is one of the only people we see in the game actively going after the ghost ship and still sailing around. i might make a longer post just talking more about the action vs inaction in phantom hourglass but i just noticed it a bit and thought it was a bit of an interesting sort of theme you could find in the game.

linebeck moves so fucking much. i think he moves more than any npc in the rest of the game. not just in his intro cutscene where he is very animated, just in how much he moves when just standing in his little idle post, it's damn near distracting when the camera is focused on him, he moves a lot. i don't think i've really acknowledged how much he moves, and it really gives the impression that he's antsy or eager to get going, both of which fit him pretty well with how he acts.

[silusvesuius]

g*lmar rly has to be the best skajrim character on the real like even if you don't like him he just is . literally The best one i think......... on dat note i also imagine that he and ulfr*c despite being fairydust BFFs for lyfe genuinely have the worst communication skills ever seen

do you ever feel casually suicidal? like you're not depressed or anything you're doing fine but also it feels like a convenient option

I have no one to talk to about AU stuff so I'm just concept doodling and going insane

[leatherbookmark]

"I know why you want to return to our world, Meggie! You just miss your boyfriend! But we haven't seen everything of this beautiful world yet!" Mr Mortimer sir your wife was enslaved for working as a scribe disguised as a man. In this world women are punished for learning their fathers' craft and your thirteen years old daughter would be already married if she was born in this world. I know the books are very pretty but Mo your wife is pregnant. I don't think they have c-sections here :(

man, i just want to see if there's any threads about silent hill 2 remake breaking so hard it doesn't even boot up anymore but all i find are people being evil about women on the internet

[nerdyfangirlingbooks]

I've had a stupid merlin au idea stuck in my head for days now and I know I'll never get around to writing it the way I want it written but I kinda wanna try anyway even though I am 100% of the target audience

[beananium]

oh its all so painfully real

[prettyentertaining]

klavier can of course canonically drive, but i think he's got a really loose grasp on the rules of the road because he started illegally driving around the german countryside aged, like, 15, in a beaten up cast-off from his rich father's classic car collection. and i think maybe by the time he passes his test aged 17 there's some slight nepotism involved because he's already in the gavinners? like for some reason he and ema have to drive somewhere at work and klavier goes fully over the kerb and naturally ema rips the shit out of him, and klavier's like 'i'd still pass my test though' (which is exactly what happened) and ema is like '...???????'.

anyway to compound matters he also definitely never did the extra test to be able to ride a motorcycle. he doesn't even know there's an extra test for motorcycles. he just walked into a shop and bought one, because what are you going to do, not sell the motorbike to harry styles, um i mean klavier gavin? also we have never even seen a hint of a helmet around him so i think that he doesn't wear one 'because he doesn't want to mess up his hair'.
