Charisma Carpenter as Cordelia Chase in 3.06 "Billy" (2001) Angel (the series)

I HAVE DRAWN ALL OF THE (main) STANDS

These are the designs I'm gonna be using for my Standverse AU (this is a link) where all the stands get trapped in a 'purgatory' without their users and are forced to be sentient.

CHARACTER BIOS HERE

Don't water down her journey by acting like she was a victim (minus the Angel season 4 butcherin her character in which we are all victims). Even she knew she was never a victim as the self-proclaimed "nastiest girl in Sunnydale history," and mind you, that very attitude saved her life a good portion of the time.

And she most certainly can. She's allowed to have layers, folks. She can be the often times hilarious mean girl and one of the most empathetic people in the Buffyverse altogether. Why do you think she was always the bait? It wasn't because she was the pretty female victim. It was because there was a good chance she would be able to vanquish anything that came along by using only her words and her wit.

She doesn't have to have some underlining white wash of all the shitty shit she ever did. Let it be what it was and enjoy the sarcastic, empathetic, while still cutting you with her words at the drop of a hat, multifaceted character she becomes. She doesn't need you to stick up for her. She's not a whiny little cry Buffy. She's Cordelia Chase, dumb ass.

i love cordelia chase so so much but i'm consistently annoyed by the take that she was never actually a bully because her insults weren't really that serious, and the scoobies were actually super mean to her for no reason. for one, that's just objectively not true. you're cherrypicking only her best moments and conveniently forgetting all of the classist comments she made to everyone but especially to xander, the one working class character, and that time she legit made fun of buffy for having a deadbeat dad or that time she said in front of willow that shylock from merchant of venice complained too much about antisemitism, just to name a few. but also, the cordelia was always perfect narrative is so annoying precisely because her sucking in the beginning is what makes her character arc (pre ats season 4 that is) so good. she went from the thoughtless mean girl to the most loving and empathetic person in the entire buffyverse. that's the whole fucking point!

I'm thinking, for no real reason except that I was reminded of it, about Thuron, the Kryn agent the Nein interrogated in the sewers who they initially let take the beacon.

The Crownsguard immediately killed him when the Nein let him go, and they of course promptly stole the beacon back. It's easy to imagine that his soul was captured by that beacon in particular, purely based on proximity. It's not clear whether the case the Nein put the beacon in to avoid its detection prevented souls from leaving the beacon, but let's say for speculatory purposes that it did.

The Nein didn't get that container until the following day, so it is possible that in the time between their taking it and its containment, his soul was bestowed on some infant in Zadash. However, the next place the Nein used the beacon extensively in an urban setting was in Hupperdook, and I think that that's where Thuron should've been reborn, because it is SO funny to imagine that from his perspective when he goes through anamnesis in, idk, forty years.

Like, you're a reasonably high-level drow Kryn agent, probably in the Lens hierarchy, because you were sent with one other agent on this extremely important, very secretive mission on behalf of the Dynasty. You were killed in the streets of Zadash certain you'd failed in your quest of bringing this sacred artifact back to your people. You come to several decades after this and have to process the following:

your death effectively started a war,

the random jackasses who interrogated you and then let you go in the sewers went and stole this artifact back the moment you were downed, for seemingly no reason except impulse, given their otherwise disinterest in messing with the Crownsguard and the artifact itself,

months later they hand-delivered it to the Bright Queen herself, having supposedly walked across the continent,

these jackasses evidently carried it around for a hot minute through a Dwendalian party town known for weapons manufacturing at SOME POINT between these two events, WHILE the war was going on,

and also, you're a fucking gnome.

This has NO business being this funny but god, it is so funny.

Cardan getting over his drinking and drug addiction from the first book into just drinking moderately in the last book is possibly one of the greatest "show and tell" examples in tfota.

after many years of being strong // may you have the chance to be gentle again

I used to be just like you. Someone else’s shoes on my feet, shivering myself to sleep at night, nobody in the world to care about me. So the only question is: what are you willing to do to change it? THE SERPENT QUEEN (2022) — S01

[wizard-enthusiast]

out explorin’ the city!

[lyxchee-art]

Idk if I did this accurately

[inbarfink]

You know, I wonder if the Candy Queen was so romantically obsessed with the Winter King just because it's literally Ice King's madness shoved into her brain and Romantic Obsession is kinda his thing.

Or if it’s at least partially fueled by some subconscious understanding of what was done to her, which is why she seem to be a lot more personally obsessed with just the Winter King than Ice King was with his favorite Princess.

Since you know, she was kinda right, she and the Winter King do kinda belong together. They complete each other. She because she has his missing piece.

His missing madness.

Merlin is kind of like a dog to Arthur. I mean this in all of the good and all of the bad ways.
