i wonder if kid ever got his music taste from justin. like it’s a thought but it haunts me sometimes while i read the manga & see scenes between them (esp their scene’s while kid’s with noah and by proxy with justin)
bc kid most likely knows all the death scythes thanks to his dad and all of them probably met kid. who’s to say justin didn’t visit from the europe branch and run into a tiny child death the kid and decide to let him listen in. who’s to say justin didn’t influence kid’s sassiness? his chill and laidback attitude? he certainly didn’t get much of that from his upbeat cheerful papa death and justin is plenty parts sassy and chill
and what if the sound of kid’s laughter was music to justin’s ears and he’d take out his earbuds to hear it because that little boy he’s watched (from slightly afar) grow into a silly pre-teen is happy. what if they’ve talked about artists they like and justin introduced kid to all kinds of music?
and bonusly:
how much would it hurt then, for kid to see justin while he’s held captive and see this warped twisted version of the man he used to know? to see justin not only turn his eye to gopher’s beatings but laugh and mock him? to have THAT what gets his earbuds off now because this version of justin is just /that/ fucked up?
though its a headcanon, it haunts me bc of the angst potential it has

Can you rate the Courtney ships mod courtney? Obviously there’s like a million but the more well known ones (gwen, heather, cody, scott, emma rr, bridgette, etc), i want to see your faves
Ok!
Gwourtney - 10/10 the definition of a yuri situationship. I love gwourtney in that context. Well, and every context. I love gwourtney but it’s so unserious. It’s hard for me to look at gwourtney and think that they’ll last longer than a week bc they have different opinions of eternal sunshine of a spotless mind or some bullshit
Duncney - 10/10 I have a huge soft spot for duncney. I shipped it when tdi was first coming out and i still love it to this day. I have so many thoughts about duncney i could write paragraph after paragraph about it. It was not handled well in canon i will be the first to admit that but i just. I lvoe it. Being 9 and watching the duncney kiss live on tv was just. Ugh. You had to be there ok. I get ppl not shipping it or even liking it bc eugh it gets bad but in a time pre-TDA you have to understand it was 🔛🔝
Heathney - 1000/10 MY FAVORITE!!! heathney solos. Heather and Courtney are just perfect together. They’re both a little evil and I love that for them. They would take over the world. They’ve both got strategy-oriented mindsets and they’re both super critical but in very different ways. Heathney is the best of opposites attract and great minds. Heather and courtney have so much to bond over. I have so much more to say but I don’t want to write a whole book here lol
Scottney - 10/10 scottney is good. I don’t love it though. It really feels like an afterthought in tdas. If there had been real effort into developing their relationship, it could have easily been amazing. I will say I love how so much of tdas is Duncan kissing gwen & being like “DO YOU THINK COURTNEY IS WATCHING?” And Courtney’s too busy dating an idiot ginger who eats dirt.
Bridgney - 10/10 Bridgney my beloved. I’m really big on friends to lovers as a trope. Mutual pining on your best friend is just. Oh god its so good. It’s such a rarepair though and i get it, since a lot of other courtney ships are more “dynamic”. But bridgney is so good. I feel like it’s the ship courtney would feel the most “peaceful” in. And courtney would nudge bridgette out of her comfort zone. And i love that for them.
Emmaney (courtemma?) - ?/10 i like Emma/courtney bc i kin courtney and i have a crush on Emma. I think they would be very competitive in a relationship though and that could easily get out of hand tho. I could easily see them hooking up when they’re in law school lol. I never read Emma/courtney fics tbh if anyone has any recs send me them
Courdy - ???/10 where did courdy come from? Courtney deserves better than cody she’s so slay and hes so cringe
Justney (justin/courtney) - 10/10 honestly I feel like this one is criminally underrated. Justin’s crush on courtney in TDA is really cute. The fact that likes her because she’s a strong competitor & is deeply fascinated by her is just… I really like it. It feels like justin appreciates courtney for who she is and loves how unhinged she could be. In this regard they actually have a lot in common and I think Courtney would really like him if she gave him the time of day lol
Alecourtney - 10/10 another one that’s slept on tbh. I like aleheather dont get me wrong but i could easily see Alejandro falling for Courtney’s completely unhinged side. And when courtney said she’s Alejandro’s “gal” its just. It’s cute ok. Don’t come at me.
If you guys want my opinion on any other courtney ships, send me them! I love talking about courtney and all her girlfriends/boyfriends/etc and I’m a huge multishipper so I love everything

EATING YOUR SOUL EATER/EPIC AU MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH
I gotta knowwwww is there black blood in this AU/a crona type character? Hermes gives me the vibes he has black blood....
Also is odysseus part weapon/meister like maka? (Especially cause hermes is his great grandfather!)
Ngl I have not thought about it superrrr in depth bc it’s been so long since I watched Soul Eater 💀
But yeah, tbh I kind of imagine Dionysus with black blood because he’s the god of madness and that makes a lot of sense given the madness that comes with black blood. I think of godly weapons to be a bit similar to death scythes and, specifically, I think of them to be similar to Justin Law in the sense that they wield themselves and don’t strictly need meisters. Dionysus is one that I see as particularly unstable and nearly impossible for any mortal to wield so he’s a bit like Crona in the sense that he’s a weird meshing of meister and weapon, too unruly to be a weapon and not in control of himself to be completely self-wielding. Though, I could also see Hades with a less volatile black blood tbh 🤔
And yeah! The direct children of the gods tend to be meisters (mostly in part so they can wield their parents in times of need), but Odysseus’ mother and grandfather were both weapons passed from Hermes and he gets his meister ability from his father, Laertes. In my head, this is a weird hybrid au that’s semi-modern while still having kingdoms (like a modern fantasy type thing) and it’s very rare for weapons to take the mantle of king unless they are a child of a god that happened to be born a weapon and became self-wielding!
Also not everyone is assigned weapon/meister at birth and there are a lot of people, including the children of gods, that don’t get either. In my head, most of the suitors are actually regular humans and Antinous is the leader that sets himself apart because he’s a self-wielding weapon and a big argument he has for why Penelope should marry him is because she is also a meister— something her father was deeply uncomfortable with because a meister/meister pairing is unorthodox and weapons traditionally aren’t king so either way her future was one he disliked— and having a self-wielding weapon husband would be good optics.
#not me rambling about things u didn’t even ask 💀#anyways yeah weapons/meisters are seen as blessed/favored by gods so they’re pretty revered#but there’s still a lot of social class stuff infused in the culture#baby babbles#my post#epic#epic the musical#epic odysseus#epic au#epic penelope

R -“ Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in (Bully) fandom?” for the ask meme!
helloooo thank you so much for sending this in!! i am an absolute fiend for your writing lmao i love to tell my boyfriend about your bif/derby interpretations
hmmm there are a lot of friendships to admire within bully, soooo so much. it's hard to pick just one lol so i will do a few of my favs teehee
an obvious one is gord & tad because bro. BRO. you just KNOW they're besties, like they don't even interact heavily in canon and i believe they don't mention each other in dialogue at all, but ever since my first playthrough... dawg. i always associated them together. i think they're a phenomenal ship, but to a certain degree, i think they work better as friends.
you just know they get together and gossip and shop together and that tad tells gord all about how he's gonna eventually be the leader and that gord tells tad about his dreams to go to law school. it's MWAH great. they're great.
i saw fanart for this about two years ago, but cornelius & trent is a good one!! again, i think they would be so cute as a ship, but the idea of their friendship is also really interesting to me, esp bc it would be between a nerd and a bully.
but with cornelius canonically playing juliet in the school production of romeo and juliet, and with trent being very passionate about acting, i think they would find themselves being unlikely friends in theatre.
it's just interesting!! you wouldn't expect it, but it's interesting.
i also think all of the of the clique leaders being shoved together in any relationship combo would be an interesting mix. not my favorite friendships, but i think it would be interesting.
like imagine johnny & ted get super buddy and then justin is screaming at derby like "YOU JUST LOST MY- I MEAN OUR CHANCE AT ROMANCE- I MEAN ALLIANCE NOOOOOO" lol. or like derby & earnest becoming an unlikely duo once derby gets over earnest's... everything -- they're both corrupt and lead their cliques with an iron fist and sacrifice anything or anyone in order to get what they want. it'd be a strange but good mix.
or like edgar & johnny bonding over their similar backgrounds, suffering from poverty plus bullworth's system, but edgar encouraging johnny to continue pursuing schooling in order to at least get his high school degree. i think edgar & russell would also be cute though because like, two bad bitches not directly involved in the majority of the drama at bullworth sitting together and watching it all go down and then jumping in at the end to show their bad bitch-ness? incredible.
honestly the same goes for all the kissable boys, i think they would all have a fun dynamic. also the gals, obviously, but tbh that's just polycule lol!
whoops this got lowkey out of hand LMAO but thank u for sending an ask and thank u anyone who reads this!!! it was really nice getting my thoughts out :)) esp bc i don't really think about platonic relationships within bully a lot too lmaoo
#thank you thank you <3#but yeah honestly any pairing can work romantically or platonically#as long as you have imagination [insert rainbow]#bully scholarship edition#canis canem edit#mine#gord vendome#tad spencer#cornelius johnson#trent northwick#derby harrington#johnny vincent#ted thompson#russell northrop#edgar munsen#earnest jones

Battle Ground Thoughts
Major spoilers below.
The Good
I really enjoyed the last part of the fight with Ethniu. Hendrick's sacrifice was well done, and the Marcone reveal was fantastic. The action was really great, although it did get too much at times, especially the beginning of the fight with Ethniu where it’s more like reading a shonen manga, lots of huge ‘final’ attacks and mist clearing as they wait for the blood spray before someone pulls a trap card. Still pretty likeable.
Marcone as a Knight of the Blackened Denarius is intriguing. My one caveat is that I think it diminishes his post-Small Favor achievements quite a bit, knowing he had access to all that power. It makes sense, especially considering just how much Marcone was able to get done, but yeah, I liked this little twist. Marcone is probably the main reason I would keep reading the books, as things stand.
I like the fact Harry's finally been kicked off the White Council, as he should be. I'm not sure why this is controversial, though. He’s clearly broken several laws, and tbh I was kind of surprised they kept him on after becoming the Winter Knight, like... conflicted interests, much?
Drakul and the Blampires were cool. Wouldn't mind seeing them again.
The Bad
Justine's reveal, while interesting bc omg Outsiders infesting the characters we love, it also absolutely terrifies me in terms of what it actually means for Thomas/Justine both in the future and in the past. A future that might not even happen, now. And considering how long it's been since she was infected, it's entirely possible a lot of Justine's feelings have been manufactured as well. One of the things at the top of my Do Not Want list was Justine or the baby getting hurt, and now we’re here.
I'm severely disinterested in Harry/Lara. I have no idea where it's going, but it's boring at best. Maybe Jim Butcher has an idea for it that doesn’t result in me rolling my eyes, but I’m not feeling charitable today.
Ivy and Harry never got a proper conversation. Also why tf was Ivy dressed in a school uniform for that fight? Unless she's a sailor senshi or something, it just doesn't make sense. Plus she should be in her mid-late teens by now, ffs, not her early teens.
We're still drawing out the Starborn mystery? Ugh, ok.
Michael's cursing out the White Council for kicking Harry off the team... Completely OOC, sorry, I hated it. Michael is a great character because he doesn't swear as a matter of principle. If he had to start swearing, that was a bad hill to choose.
The way the morality of the White Council flip flops depending on Dresden's mood is getting annoying. At the meeting at the end, he says the Council is the biggest defender of humanity, and that he's clearly sitting at the monsters' table, but they're also supposed to be the enemy for treating him as such? Ebenezar and some of the Seniors are douchebags, for sure - especially Eb as it's personal - but Carlos and the rest are solid good guys trying to do their best. After everything that's happened, Harry shouldn't be so freaking bitter. He’s a monster now. Either own it, or make different choices. Also Carlos should’ve told him what Molly did to him. I hate that this hasn’t been addressed and that Carlos just looks like a suspicious bastard when he’s actually sustained life-changing injuries and trauma. Communication generally between Harry and the White Council needs to start happening like yesterday.
Butters needs to just go away, please. Give me a break from this shithead. He's had a few months of training and can keep up with literally everyone. He gets all these Crowning Moments of Awesome, but he never suffers for it, and at this point I'm genuinely wondering whether he'll ever suffer any consequences whatsoever. Also he constantly outshines Sanya, who is ostensibly better qualified, and the Sword of Hope should have been the stronger of the two in that last fight. I’m sick of hearing how great Butters is, and being expected to laugh at all his dumb, nerdy references.
Harry barely thinks about Thomas when he considers his recent losses. Sure Thomas is still alive, but barely, with no guarantees he'll survive or that he'll come back the same person. Harry should be grieving for him as much as he's grieving for Karrin at this point. I also wanted there to be more reason behind Thomas's actions, some sort of conspiracy within the White Court, but there wasn't. It's bad enough being anxious for Thomas, but being anxious for his whole goddamn family is just way too much, ffs.
The Ugly
I mean, I've told people: if I'd tried to imagine a worst case scenario for Karrin Murphy's death, it would have been better than the ending we got. It's worse than James Norrington dying at the hands of Bootstrap Bill. It's worse than Superman's dad dying while trying to save the dog. She shouldn't have died at all, period, but if she absolutely had to go, there is no fucking way in HELL that that was the best way for it to happen. Whether she comes back or not, there is no way to justify that scene. Gard saying she saved everyone by defending Dresden might be a satisfying Watsonian explanation for some, but of all the times, of all the places, of all the ways, and of all the people... JB picked the absolute worst possible combination. Absolute. Garbage. It's not that he can't write decent sacrifices. Hendrick's death was superb! So why the FUCK couldn't Murph get the same treatment? Why the FUCK was she killed off so FUCKING pointlessly? This isn't a real life story. This isn't some hyperrealistic, anyone can die, Game of Thrones type bullshit, where you can just kill off the second main character as shock value and have it be valuable to a bigger theme. This is the Dresden Files, a fucking series where all the women are Playboy models, and there's a middle-aged dweeby guy in sports goggles riding a skateboard and wielding a lightsaber and facing off with a Titan after just a few months of training, and having threesomes with bisexual women half his age, one of whom wears a fucking Avengers t-shirt to bed. It's a fanservice show. So it is not too much to ask for the main female character to be given the kind of death she actually deserves, let alone that she be allowed to live long enough to enjoy a relationship that's been so fantastically built up over 15+ books. (Query: was any of her family at her funeral? Audiobooks make searching hard, and I can’t find out if that was mentioned.) It's not unfair to hate the FUCK out of JB for pulling such a horrible, awful, LAZY move. I didn’t cry when it happened. I actually laughed quite a bit, maniacally, because it was that much of a train wreck. I'm not crying now, either. I'm just so, so tired. RIP Murph.
Granted, I haven't had to wait for a Dresden Files book like this before. Skin Game had a very neat ending, whereas this asks way, way, way more questions than it answers, which is probably more par for the course in this series? But now my two favourite characters are out of the field and may never come back, and I'm just so fucking tired and disappointed, and tired of being disappointed. I don't know whether it's worth staying invested in the vague hope Jim Butcher will start giving a shit about anyone other than Butters, but I can't see the next book being much good when Thomas and Karrin won't be there. When Karrin may never be there again. When I don't even know if the next book will show up, or if there'll be another hiatus resulting in a mediocre story.
I'm predicting that there'll be a Murph-centric short story in the near future that'll probably be a "gotcha!" to all the fans like me who fucking hate how BG turned out. Either it'll finish her off entirely or hint at a resurrection, which may or may not come. Either way, it won't justify her death. It won't make this better.
If I wasn’t as invested in Karrin, I’d like this book more. I can understand if people like it, and there are definitely some good things about it, but it’s hard to appreciate those bits when there’s such a massive pile of stinking shit sitting smack bang in the middle.
