Everyday I think about the loss of what we could've had if we had gotten anti hero Jason.

the viago-crow rook dynamic makes me crazy i fear!!! the found family!!!! the layers!!! the care of it all!!!! the 'i am afraid of losing my protégé who I've come to regard as family but I don't exactly know how to convey that so I have to be stern toward them, remind them not to abandon their contract, so they aren't eaten up by the antivan crows like I know the organization can do and has done time and time again' i am literally rambling rn but i could write a whole essay i fear

I don’t have time to write up something properly on this topic this week, but here’s an incoherent ramble.

It’s so important to me how it was as an end point for Guy’s new52 character to be him as a Blue Lantern. The blue ring is about healing and faith (in yourself, the people around you, in things bigger than you), and is rooted in belief that things can always get better. That Guy gets to spend his future going around healing people in a universe where he didn’t get the opportunity to pursue that as a career initially is so rewarding.

His role as community leader/teacher/public servant is so integral to how he was first introduced. And through the ups and downs of his story arc in the years following, his ability to forgive people for anything, even to offer that forgiveness first, is what makes him such a good person. We see this most often in his relationship with his family and with Hal, but it’s definitely not limited to them.

There’s also something about Guy opting away from any of the rings that give him strength to do violence in favour of one that is powerful in taking down enemies in other ways. He still carries them with him, and knows sometimes he might need to use them to save people, but thats not his first instinct anymore.

Social worker Guy, psychology student Guy, the version of Guy that is gentle and timid and doesn’t like violence at all (that we only ever saw as a joke in JLI) would all be so proud of him for getting here in the end.

It's my fault that the storybook of legends ended up in Wonderland in the first place. I sorta threw it down the Well of Wonder. What? But why? I didn't want to have to follow my destiny! Sleeping my life away and losing all my friends? Why should I be forced to live that life if it's not the one that I want?

YQY/SY has been at the back of my mind these last few days and I keep coming back to the following as opening lines for a fic.

It's not that Shen Yuan set out with the intention to steal someone's husband, he came free with the transmigration!

With the premise being that upon waking up and seeing YQY by his side and (by the donghua's canon) sitting on the same bed as him, all concerned like, SY would assume qijiu were in a relationship. It would be, of course, really messy and miscommunication is a given but I feel like it could work out and binghe would end up with two father figures (that he still grows obsessed with-}

okay so what we need now is a renewal (of course) so we can have kristen’s lil witchy gf pop in like every third ep. she’s usually not even plot-relevant, just some flirting and her checking in with kristen as she gets to know her and her fucked up circumstances

(the ot3 is still canon in my heart for this- kristen’s just gets a gf as a treat. hope that helps)

The challenge levels in Under the Knife/Second Opinion have some dialogue at the start where the main villain says some stuff and the player character responds, and the two different player characters have different responses. Usually they're both counterpoints against whatever point the villain was making, declaring humanity's will to live blah blah blah, but on X-7...

"Death is baked into your very DNA, it is your nature. Your destiny."

"Bitch I'll kill you."

Okay so this is hard to explain

I eluded in an earlier post that this had something to do with my oc’s but that’s a half truth- see, I don’t have oc’s so much as I have a huge world building project that I’ve been working with on and off for the last … seven years? It’s hard to say where it started because when it did start it was very mundane- but it’s become a … a whole DEAL

To loosely explain this art: in the world my project is centered around there are four goddesses who have almost every concept known to man split between them, there’s a convoluted explanation as to why this is but the important information to gleam from that is the goddess of death is also the goddess of winds and air, and it occurred to me some time ago that a culture worshiping this goddess would probably not want to bury their dead, because then you’re taking that dead person away from the death gods domain, which probably isn’t good for their soul right? So I came up with this concept of … hammock funerals?

I don’t know what to call them other then hammock funerals, the idea is that after a person dies the family constructs a canvas wrap and hangs it between two trees, preferably very high in the air but the highest two trees you have access to will be acceptable, then this is simply left alone for anywhere between 2-12 days both to give the persons soul time to pass on and as a mourning period for the family

How long this is left tends to be a class thing, if you live in a less open area then having one of these hammocks around will create a nuance and it’s considered taboo to work while you have a family members mourning period going on, so lower class people tend to have much shorter funeral periods whilst the rich who have bigger lands which won’t have to have a corpse right next to their neighbors and can afford to not work for an extended time or perhaps don’t work at all will take much longer periods, some grieving family members have even been known to keep the structure in place for up to a month, although this is considered excessive and … more importantly pretty gross

After this funeral period is over the body is taken down and either entombed or burned depending on the family’s preferences (some families will boat out onto the ocean and sink the body but this is not only illegal but VERY looked down upon by the average person)

So uh… yeah, random oc lore, hope you enjoyed all that? Idk why I did this I just thought to do it and then did not stop myself, I’m bidding for what scraps of creativity I can get right now tbh—

A trend in Astarion fics that I find bizarre is the idea that he's never been treated gently during sex. This is difficult to believe for one simple reason: some of Astarion's victims were virgins.

Astarion: You were handsome. Shy. You'd never been kissed. Sebastian: You taught me how. And then you destroyed me.

I get the desire to make his current partner special by having their sex be good and wholesome in comparison to his other trysts, but this is a flawed sentiment. The cutscene of that first night together is incredibly tender from the kiss to laying on the grass - the only outlier being if you offer your neck - and if you sleep with Astarion but keep it at that night, Astarion himself says he will never forget you. Not because the PC was uniquely gentle with him in bed, but because they were the first person he ever slept with of his own free will. It's his choice that makes that night special to him moreso than anything the PC may or may not have done during that time.

I just saw a post complaining that s4 was a slap in the face to Gerard Way and how hard he fought to get his comics on the big screen. Girl, I hate to break it to yo but s4 is the most loyal to the feel of the comics out of all of them. If anything, he had more writing in this season than any other

No lie I can't recall the last time I did like just one long continuous thread.

Like sure still doing small side stuff, asks ect but just idk but also letting muses grow and develop through one long continuous - and not always having to say resort to completely dropping if whatever currently is going on has run its course and instead just time skip with it but let it keep going.

And I say this as some one who is also 100% happy to time skip and jump around.

And hey you want to go back in time and explore a scenario that could have happened earlier in their relationship / knowing each other

or jump forward to something way later or even just explore a what if scenario that doesn't have to happen but could depending how things go/ how we feel about it ect

Hell yah love it all - trying to have some time line consistency is good obviously and as long as we can agree on even a loose idea of How they got to Y or where X fits and what not then sure.

Am fine with even the longest of threads eventually getting a wrap up if things simply happen to feel right in the moment and is what gets decided, doesn't have to be an infinite thread - certainly not about to force one to go on if its reached a point it kinda feels dead but idk call me easily attached but there's sometimes where I can still find / feels like their might be still potential to be found in a thread and all it needs is a bit of tweaking.

The chapter came to an end but the book isn't over kinda thing. Maybe all it needs is a small time skip / scene change but there's still things to be explored within said plot/scenario / whatever is going on with the characters - that would still also work/fit within said thread instead of separating.

Similarly but kind of reverse is I am equally as happy generally to return to threads that were long previously dropped/abandoned. Whether cause someone wasn't feeling it any more or simply we ran into a writing wall and at the time were lost on how to continue it so was better not to force it. But if something new comes along be it from plotting / just newer interactions or simply with having time away from it whatever the reason if a spark suddenly arises and hey suddenly what if we connected - old thread to new idea - or any other reason to want to answer/continue go for it.

idk mostly I this is was just a really long rambly way of saying how I miss long threads. Short quick snippets are fun and fine but 9/10 I promise i am very much interested and fine with carrying a thread for as long and far as it'll go.

I geniunely think the best most lifechanging thing i learnt in the past 6 months has been when someone told me to stop chasing happiness and set it free and instead look for relief. "what would bring you relief in this moment?" and it's been bringing up answers for me that haven't been comfortable but have been necessary. Relief doesn't mean any particular emotion, and it's better than "calm" or "comfort" because sometimes calm and comfort are not what will save you, getting angry and saying stuff as they are does, crying does, write the most hateful letter you've ever written and not sending it does.
