My (hopefully) last complaint about Junkertown and the Junkers before my inevitable Re-write post

Junkers vs. MAD MAX

Alright I'm already on a roll with this and I've already committed myself to doing a rewrite of Junkertown and the Junkers, but I have one more thing to complain. That being the fact that they butcher the media they are referencing, that being Mad Max. For more context this is also coming form an Australian who has never watched these movies, this doesn't mean I didn't do my research, this is just to give context that I myself have never seen these movies.

If you don't know Mad Max is very much Australian media, written by, acted by, and taking place in Australia. Not only that but it very much relies on the world building of the fact that one, Australia is very isolated, and two, the rest of the world is like this. Something that Overwatch fails egregiously off the bat with considering that the rest of the world is not an apocalyptic wasteland and the fact that the thing that caused Junkertown and the radiation was an Omnium. You know, the thing that multiple countries had? There's also the fact that Junkrat and Roadhog are international criminals, how big Austraila is and the travel time between areas are never considered, it's exceedingly easy to leave the damn country (Junkrat and Roadhog again but also Hammond in his new short story). They want to be a Mad Max reference without actually considering the fact that the isolation inherent to Australia is important to Mad Max's setting.

There's also the fact that Mad Max relies heavily on visual story telling, Mad Max: Fury Road not even having a screenplay, it was fully laid out on storyboards. There's also the fact that Mad Max was not about the Australian experience but rather the human experience, this isn't a problem until you realize that every other characters references are very much biased off that characters origin. That or their place of origin is considered when writing them even if the reference for said character isn't from that country.

Another thing is that Mad Max communicates the brutality and disfunction of humanity, society has collapsed and we are left with the worst of it. The theming and messaging does not work with the rest of Overwatch's theming, it also doesn't make sense in universe considering that Overwatch was one, very environment focused, and two, was already sending forces to Australia to help with the consequences of radiation. Why did they let the Wasteland and Junkertown get so bad? Especially in the early Golden Age, and you can't say that it was because of the Junkers cause Overwatch have handled worse. Even before that point. We also have better examples of "the worst of humanity trope" with Talon, and they actually fit the story and world.

The theme they also completely miss in the soulless copy that is the Junkers is the individual connections and the theming or regaining humanity after great tragedy. In all honesty the best way they could have done this would have been to make Howl's rule itself the Mad Max Reference while Odessa's rule was the healing process from that, but no, they made her an overtaxing dictator instead. The gave the Junkers storyline the theme of desperation but no theme of hope, leaving it empty.

The only thing they unintentionally get right is that your environment doesn't necessarily change you, you do. Yes, a change of environment can assist in giving you space to make that change, but you are you no matter where you go. Junkrat and Roadhog don't change cause their out of Junkertown, they stay the exact same. Which is unfortunate because this is just due to them lacking any real depth in canon, an no, Junkrat actually being incredibly smart isn't character depth.

Back to the whole human connection thing, tell me, outside of fanon interpretation, out side of Junkrat's unreliable narration, outside of the interaction with characters he hasn't met in canon yet. Does anyone like Junkrat? Roadhog is there because Junkrat is paying him and because he seems board, the rest of Junkertown hates him, JQ especially. Roadhog doesn't seem to care about anyone, Junkerqueen's only true connection we see is with Hammond, and Hammond contiues to be my favoutite Junker by literally negating all the complaints about Junkertown I've had so far.

Honestly when I started looking at Junkertown lore I did not expect to be coming out saying that the fucking hamster was the best written character but here we are.

This is all also only referencing Mad Max: Fury Road by the way, which is probably what Junker Town is based off of considering its popularity and the time of release compared to Overwatch's. Honestly I might re-do this analysis/complaint if I ever watch the Mad Max series myself. Though I don't think my feelings will change of this, and that is the Junkers are an insult of a reference to MAD MAX. An empty copy at best. This is also coming from the person who often defends Overwatch's writing, I can't defend the Junkers, it's just bad writing.

requesting hcs of nebula pining over female reader please and thank you! set after gotg 3 and reader is one of the teachers who teaches the kids they saved from the high evolutionary

Nebula Pining Over Fem! Reader

Pairing:Nebula x Reader

Tw:Angst with a happy ending

—————————————

Ever since the events of the battle against the High Evolutionary, Nebula got way sadder than usual

Sure they saved a bunch of people and lots of civilizations, but right when she was getting used to her lil disfunctional family they decided that they needed some time apart of the group

She helped everywhere she could in Knowhere, from building stuff, to fixing equipment, till a day where Kraglin asked her if she could help with teaching the children the basics of self defense

It was definitely not what she was used to, but coming from a "family" of abuse she understood the importance of it

An that's when she met you!

As she was waiting for her class with the children start, she saw you on one of the windows of the building teaching the children how to comunicate with everyone

From that moment she felt weird, overwhelmed, it was a feeling that she never felt before, and the fact that she didn't knew what it was only made her upset

She was going to pretend that it was nothing, until a day when her session with the kids ended that you went to talk to her

You waited just so you could thank her for what she was doing with the children, because as they were learning your language they were able to tell the horrible things they suffered on the ship

It was a simple thank you, but that didn't help Nebula with her feelings, quite the opposite actually

But after the group kinda dissipated she had no one to talk to

Her sister was not the same she lived with before the battle with Thanos, Quil was back on Terra and the most important person who could maybe help her, Mantis, was somewhere in the space, and it was obvious that Rocket, Groot and Drax where out of question

Every day you would stay to watch the kids you quickly bonded to see their improvement (definitely not for the goddess of a woman who was teaching them that you were slowly caughting feelings for)

Geeting closer to her, telling how cool her abilities were, saying how one day you wanted to be as strong as her

And every day that passed she got more intrigued by her own feelings towards you

Until one day Kraglin was telling her about some movie tapes that Yondu had found for Peter but didn't had the opportunity to give them, so he asked if she could keep them safe on her room till he came back

She wasn't exactly the type to like music or this so called movies, but she was just so bored one day that, when she was sure no one would ever know, she put a movie on the device that Rocket had made for Peter if they ever found one of those

She did not knew or cared about the name of the movie in question, but one of the main themes that kept poping over and over again made her understand everything

It was love!

Oh fuck it was love

Those were her first thoughts when she realized it, immediately turning off the thing and throwing the tape as far as she could

She could not feel love for you, in her head love wasn’t meant for her, she wasn’t worthy of love

But then again, why would you love her? A killer, a destroyer, machine

And after that day, she was not the same again

She asked to change the day of the sessions just so she would not see you, avoided you everywhere in Knowhere, and asked everybody to tell people to just leave her alone

She kept pushing the feeling back, and one day she cried for the second time in her entire life for a person

But she underestimated you

One day you simply showed up at her door, and even when she pretended she was not there you just screamed that you were going to wait

Seeing you really weren’t gonna budge she opened the door for you and saw your state

You looked sad, tired and even a bit sick

She went to ask what did you wanted but was met with a "did i do something wrong?"

Of course she was not understanding, but you just asked why she started avoiding you out of nowhere, almost starting to cry

Then all of the conflicted feelings she was feeling immediately turned into guilt

How could she do something like this to you? To leave you in that state just cause she could not understand what was happening

Then she finally could not wait any longer and told you everything, how she felt about you, how she was scared of those feelings, and how she thought she did not deserve any of what you wanted to give her

You immediately told her that it didn't matter the stuff she had done, the past was in the past and she deserved someone to help her see that things could be great, that she deserved to feel love and be loved

She said she was not used to it, but asked if she could give you a hug

It was kinda akward, but you could see that this was definelly just the beginning of something special between the both of you

20 October 2024

Ha! I actually know the date for this one. Only because it was yesterday's session. Might be long so again, under the cut

Alex finally notices the pentagram on his DM screen (it has been 3 months)

Georgie points out Alex's NZ shirt which has an arrow pointing down to his crotch. (It's a dick joke)

"Is your penis New Zealand? Is your penis state highway 1?" - Zain

Raven gives Kallisto the dread helm, but keeps the gauntlets of Ogre power. (Can you imagine a short, blue, teenage barbarian full of rage with glowing red eyes?)

Raven's last name is now Kennedy (he keeps shooting at locks) (There was some confusion about if it was a JFK reference. It is not)

"Roughly bum-sized hole." - Alex

"Torture dungeon?" - Mick "No it's a BDSM cave." - Zain

Juniper founds some gnawed Dwarven bones and takes them. Then they find an amulet of the Dwarven god.

Raven finds a potion of superior healing in an unlocked coffer.

Coin clinking has made Alex's eye hurt.

"And you come to this-" Alex "Hehe cum." - Mick

"He was crucified, not hung." - Alex "WAS HE WELL HUNG FROM A ROPE?!" - Zain and Mick

Resurrectal disfunction

Zain makes the discovery that humans are just very sun resistant vampires.

"There'll be rocks in this room." - Alex

"We can't Last 2 minutes." - Georgie

"There's a rocky room." - Alex, moments before Zain starts singing the Rocky theme

Alex is WHEEZING

Zain threw Alex a SENZU BEAN!

"Flick the Senzu bean" - Zain

"He did better than Yajirobe." - Georgie

Raven found a very small cavern (2 foot wide). The party elects Kallisto to squeeze into the hole. (Sacrifice the child, we all say)

"It stinks." - Alex.

"Is it Rotorua?" - Georgie

Kallisto opened a door and may have triggered an encounter with some spiders.

Kallisto becomes blue(y) and avoids spiders. (She was always blue. Rhea was green, Iphigenia was gold, Kallisto)

The party splits into two groups: Juniper and Kallisto go through the hole again while Raven and Tweed go through a door further north. It's the room where they lasso'd the lever down to enter the abandoned keep.

The pair find themselves spiders in between a couple of pillars. These spiders are big.

Zain found a tik tok with the super 17 audio: "HA HAA NOBODY CAN BEAT ME WHEN I'M SUPER 17"

Tweed: Fuck. Raven: Is there any other word you know? Tweed: Fuck off.

Tweed and Juniper throw their daggers at the spiders.

"If Costco..." - Zain

KALLISTO CAN FAESTEP!

The spiders are kinky fucks.

A spider shoots white...web at Juniper.

Another spider suffers from projectile dysfunction.

Raven goes big. The spider is scared shirtless.

Another spider suffers from projectile dysfunction.

"The orgy that we never wanted." - Georgie

"You got them begging for state highway 1." - Zain

Juniper is JACKED and breaks out of the webbing.

Juniper wants to die really badly.

A-monk us

Zain throws Mick a SENZU BEAN

Tweed is being attacked from both sides.

Tweed is on that weave game. Tweave.

"I swear I'm trying not to get a toddler with a knife." - Alex

A spider tries to attack from Juniper. Mick just grins.

Tweed does an elbow drop on a spider.

Another spider is getting in on the spider gang attack on Juniper.

Juniper consents to the spider orgy.

"No fucking this time." - Alex

Raven tries to play hero and fight the spiders who are attacking Juniper.

Kallisto is raging thanks to puberty.

Live Tweed reaction: reflect attack

Tweed got critical twice.

Juniper is on death saves.

With a newfound determination to save Juniper, Raven killed 2 spiders brutally and bloody.

Georgie accidentally rolls a 10 on a d10. Georgie rerolls with a d8 and rolls an 8. (Context: attack with a dagger)

Mick is upset with a success on a death save.

Raven stabilizes Juniper, forcefully saving his comrade from death.

Kallisto ends the battle with brain damage.

We ended the session quite late.

Juniprotagonist.

What i do.

But this is hell.

And of course. The indian speaks english fluently. He had a thought one day. And when i said. “Well, how am i supposed to know? Half the time you’re being a fucken idiot.” He laughs. Other times. He doesnt want to inderstand.

Im already dead man. Wtf do j care. I can do all kinds of mean rwisted shit now. Because im not going to be alive much longer somthey eont be any consequences.

They ve been doing this to me simce i was a fucken child man. Dame fucken tactivs. If fact its has my brothers signiture all

Over it.

My noose is ready and lovked on my door. All i

Need is a push. Theyre fucken wi th y hormaines for fucks sake s

Lets go

Back home and think about my asshole cause its the only thin gg i can feel. 24 hours a day. At leadt its not spwaking like a girl. With all that estrogen laced weed thyeve been giving ober the last several years.

Sorry ive never liked looney toons. I font have a sadistic sense of humour. Brainwarping children with violence and laughter. Degenerating the inner spyche to produce degenerating invclined offspring. And neither do i have beef with nature: “cuz nature sucks!” Lets all get high and touch thr moon and based or future generations eith ambitions to please the body over the spirit.

Ive come to put it all together. Over these years. This is the third reich. The nazies won. And all it took is 60 million lives to make possible. And half of those lives were russians. Didnt hear a single care in all of my education about world history.

Not enough russians lives were taken thoigh. So the north western idealogy is trying to side curb its way into foreign lands to take over and dominate the world. Nazies.

I wanted a job at the pet store or the art store so the pisces moon would have a positive outlet. And the at osphere would be calm and positive. But they didnt want me to. The plans are in motion to continue raping my existance.

Then on the brink of suicide, again, i find a roofing job serrounded by toxic, degen, masculine personalities. With thr exception of one. Theres not mych in the way of media that gives positive light to the masculine. Its all connected to hardship. And lack. And degen, tendencies.

And people have always taken it for themsleves to put themselves over me. That has been thr only reality ive ever known. I dont want to be alove anymore. Especially if i get treated and punished fir being how the world has always treated me.

Im not even a person.

Gay men, women, hetero’s, government bodies of people. family, friends. To a lesser extant. Going on 40 and people are stoll making decisions for my life. I dont get to make them. Because they do.

All the world has ever done is harm me. And im the bad guy. Growing up hearing all this shit about peace and love and the age of aquarius. Just to insult you. While your surrounded by Leos. And disfunctional familial habitudes. Watching sibblings go after each other and me with hammers and axes and shit. Giving young teenagers ciggarets and drugs. Purposefully rolemodeling bs cause its funny. Killing animals and pets. Burning down buildings. Driving drunk. Fag bashing, bigotry, elitism. Destructive habits. Bipolar eruptions of violence. Absenteeism. Zero guidance. No communication. Lack luster tries at it.

Over 30 years of that. Then battering after battering, year after year. Into a beligenrent mess of bs.

And now, years after being complety fucked with to the extreme. Theres an entire community of dicktwats fucking with my system, and sexually manipulating me. Into becoming a queer. And through right back into childhood and fortifying self destructive lunar habits. So they can all feel good about being superior humans beings. And quenching that demonic thirst.

Thats pretty ficked up man. Dont blame me for tending to phatasize about national destruction. Because its the maine theme of pop media.

Since birth the world has been nothing but a giant fuck you to me. Everythign in between in inconsequential on that regard.

This isnt the real world. Its a pre-life. Or an alter life if another being. Which is me. Experimecing this instead of that. To break it all doem. Its the only thign that makes any sense.

And then after at those places. I wanted to work at. Id need an avenue for physical work. So i would have been more inclined and have the motivation to go to the gym instead. But nope. I need to be sexually harrased by another girl and then raped into become a girl. Not allowed to be away from toxic intended people, playing to a script. Somim still sick. Not allowed not to be.

In all that darkness and negativity and entropy. Once the light is seen, a peace and normalcy is glimpsed, in the venusian qualities upon the face of a pretty girl. Drive me insane. With the desire for tranquility and good tidings. Motivation and will to produce good life. Comes over like an obseesion from desperation and lack. But they harm you all the while. Boices and shadowed faces hiding in the background in the crowd. The will to drop it. Isnt strong enough to hold. For what if. An accomplishment from something good. Would strengthen my spirit. And i could live again. Or for the forst time.

My life is little foot vs freddy krugger. But i come from the generation where horror was intwine with child phatasy. Theres not much defermeve bewtween land before time. The original. To a nightmare on elm street. Beyond finding the garden of eden versus just surviving the T-rex and still being lost. Comsidering im living on maple street. Is just another insult to being alive.

I cant afford a noce appartment. I live by myself and always will. An di dont make 30$ an hour.

In fact Ir wasnt far between watching land before time an dmy life going to shit.

Heres some dick, kid. And the entire world thinks its hilarious. Perverting children.

It should be manditory for all families to get psychologically evaluated every 1-5 years. Which i don’t understand all this pride about free health care. What health care? If uou can give an athlete 10 million$ a year. Im pretty sure you can find some funding for better health care practices.

Then the bs about national compassion and what woukd have a stringer expression in the masses knowing that these games to pay exorbitantly for is actually supporting their freinds and family and a better world jnstead of giving entitled assholes an easy life of luxury. If a movie actor cane make 60 million $ a film then wtf. Fuck tom hanks.

Too bad its not my thy hair that is patching. If it were a choice it be the other way around. Then it be more like the arms. With heavier forarm than upper arm hair. Am i right? Maybe i will do the ipl treatment. Then use the electro therapy to get whatever is left over. Leave the pubic region, the love trail and the fuzz on my belly. Insteas of looking like a satyr. You know since i’m a woman now. Nd it be sexy. Since sex is all that matters.

You should have seen the expectant joy on my fathers face while he was calling me a woman. That was like what. 8-9 years ago now.

His favorite song. Used to sing it around me all the time.

Dont have a choice i have to kill

Myslef.

I just want a girl whos loves sucking dick. So she can squirt over my dace as i stair up i to her browneye and ponder the mysteries of life.

No need of shame for the sexual appetite. Of dirty vs. carnal desire. I know most then some.

Fucken creep. Yeah, i am. I was. Will be again apparently.

I want a woman, help me feel like a man. Instead i have an entire community of smut peddlers.

Kings are ni longer bred. There is no ower to veto a way of life. It’ll just fester.

Pray ipon my god and see, i never stop burning.

Man, i feel like a woman. And along eoth it everything worth living for is gone. Intellectual persuit. Gone. Artistic persuit gone. Desire to sedate increased. Desire to socialize gone. Desire to produce. Gone. Desire to accomplish gone. Desire for further education. Gone. Desire for physical satidfaction increases. Women suck. Its a handicap.

Looks like i was born and bred for the sole

Purpose of being a slut. Something to be proud about apparwntly.

Mrystal is the closest thing. Though a lie, ive had to hanging out with a girl for over 25 years. Just toxic masculine and feminine personalities. Thats all there is.

Hard to live in your own head. When theres an entire army manipulation from the external. Been fighting it for years. Hasnt brought me in anything

Well shit. Hello dark side of me. Hows it going? You go n abe alright not being monitered. Not going to do anythignstupid now are you? Creep some people?hive my body full reign to the family demon. Become possessed. Give in to sin. Noones safe.

Why they want that. Fuck their dumb.

Too i secure to walk i to a bisy stire anymore. Back to where i started there goes 8 years of life.

Guess ill be dressing up as a souless demon this holloween.

Maybe i can pull card lettered И, centre it by maybe 8 other cards to be connected to. Maybe. See what influences bare upon it.

Do that while the world is busy olaying with my penis. Pervs.

Ger me out of this nughtmare. 40 years is too mich.

Theyre fucken kilking me and laughing at the same time. My entire fuckne life man this has lal it ever been.

What to say to the dictor in the shrinkwarf. I have an entire army of cocksukrrs raping intk suicide and indotn want to be alive anymore. Tired that already. Didnt do anythign. Half of rhem are probanly in in it anyway. Can youvexorsize this demon. Fucken ne since birth? Look how populous its become.

Die for what you belive is certsinky gonna happen.

Maybe one day i wont be thrown into an envrionemt. That is full of enemies. Or assholes who just oass it off their shoulder like it doesnt matter. Mothwr was good at that.

Oh you know its just him. Hanging out with a bad crowd. Instea dof being talked to its being talk about while your still next to the person talking. Noe like ive ever been treated as a person anyway.

Apparently im not allowed to have a job or any social connections. Not allowed havign want i need to live.

Only endless years of people talking about you than to you. Thats all its ever been. 40 years.

I lneed to leave. Byt noones going to

Help me so im stuck here being taped by fucken cocksucker s

Doni fo to work today or do it quit. And count down till im dead? Tough decision.

Kife will always fo this to me. It always has abd it always will.

I have ti kill myself. Its the only way to keep wveryone feom interference with my lifw and forcing me to kill myaelf.

Quit the job and start passing out more cvs i can di that much atleast. Not that ill find a job anyway. Not one ill be happy with.

I deswrve to be raped into suicide foe being born. It only makes swnse

Indont know what not being serrounded by enemies feels like. Something that will never getnoff the bucket list.

I simt have a single cruel abusive bone in my body. Always strived for whats good. Fight agaisnt people fucken with me. They jsut fuck more with you.

So the reason i was born was to be bullied into suicide. So that my family can work out the demon.

They’re trying everything except giving me a substantial anount of money.

The anount of time, resources and man power to rape me into suicide is staggering.

Well rested for the first time in months. Almost died again yesterday. Spend the day half conscious, puking and depressed. Wonder what they dosed me with me.

I forgot what it feels like not fighying got tour life.

What s the point. Im being gorceably removed from the gene pool and im not going to accomplish anything thst will outlive my life and influnce the fallowing generation. Theres no poing being alive. Instead i was born so that other people can enjoy thrmeslve putting themselves over me.

Character Insight #11: Tree

Full Name: Tree Juniper Gnarlbranch Gender: Non-binary (he/they) Race: Worgen Class: Druid Specialization: Restoration Orientation: Bisexual Relatives: No Known Relatives Age: 33 Height: 6'8 (5'9 Human form) Voice reference: Hector Rivera - Coco Theme: Mary On A Cross - Ghost

[BACKSTORY]

Tree Gnarlbranch was born in Gilneas eighteen years before its fall. Their parents were rather uninvolved in their upbringing, instilling a distrust in Tree that progressively got worse and worse until Tree hardly spoke to the very people they lived with on a daily basis. As a result, Tree felt like they couldn't go to their parents about their issues, and often didn't. The main factor in solidifying their isolation from them, however, was Tree's identity as a non-binary person. Unfortunately, their parents were widely unsupportive, which only piled on to their feelings of ostracization. This was a catalyst for their distrust of their parents, and would ultimately lead them into looking for support through other means.

Those "other means" manifested themselves in the form of a female Kaldorei named Shadryssa Swiftbreeze. Shadryssa was one of the many Kaldorei that journeyed to the lands of Gilneas in order to help those afflicted with the Worgen curse--Tree being one of them. They met, and an immediate spark was apparent, evolving into a friendship and, later, a romantic relationship.

Then, the signs began to show. Shadryssa would increasingly and intentionally add on to Tree's isolation from their parents, and recommended they run away with her to join a group of Shadryssa's friends. Tree eventually agreed, and never saw their parents again. They ended up in Kalimdor together, living along the edges of Darkshore and Ashenvale amongst Shadryssa's "friends," who called themselves the Twilight's Hammer. They were focused on bringing darkness and chaos to the world of Azeroth, and if Tree acted unenthusiastic about serving their lord, Deathwing, they were threatened with punishment--as well as scolded by Shadryssa. Eventually, the disfunction grew to where she would physically assault them, even leaving a scar on their neck from when she dug her nails into it one time.

Despite Shadryssa's best efforts to keep Tree in line, however, the punishment soon came. Tree was often forced to sacrifice innocents in the name of the Twilight's Hammer, but when they again hesitated, they decided the ultimate punishment was to be given. As offering for their Old Gods, the Twilight's Hammer restrained Shadryssa--and sacrificed her in front of Tree. Scared into obedience and mourning the loss of their partner, they followed commands like a dog now. Tasked with protecting a door leading deeper into a Twilight's Hammer fortress, Tree fought against brave adventurers--and lost. They were bludgeoned hard enough in the side of the head--giving them the blind eye they now have--to fall unconscious. The adventurers either mistook them for being dead or took pity on them, for they did not finish the job and simply moved on.

Tree's brain was greatly affected. Their neural network had been damaged enough to revert them back to the state of a feral Worgen and, mindlessly, Tree escaped the facility and roamed across Azeroth. Eventually, strangers found them deep within the woods and, one of them being a druid, cured them back to a functioning cognitive state, and these people took them in as their friend. This group of people was known as none other than the Shadows of the Faithful, composed of adventurers and heroes looking to defend themselves and their loved ones from the threats of Azeroth. Slowly, Tree came out of their shell, gradually becoming more outgoing and comfortable in the positive and supportive environment of the Shadows of the Faithful. For the first time in Tree's life, people enjoyed their company unconditionally.

It is here that they met Randolph Heisenberg, a male Bloodfang Worgen rogue that seemed standoffish and lonesome at first, but to Tree appeared very friendly and talkative when actually approached. They met while Tree was beginning to restudy the Druidic arts, and was practicing healing the earth to repair the damage their role in the Cataclysm may have caused. Randolph was helpful, supportive and engaged--and, deep down, sensitive--and Tree, despite their previous experience with romance, couldn't help but enjoy the unfamiliar feeling of being valued and thought of in such a way.

Shadryssa wasn't going to let them go so easily, though. Out of sheer anger, her spirit returned to the mortal plane, and was able to capture Tree, continuing her abuse of them in her lair and seeking to restore glory to the Twilight's Hammer. The Faithful were after her, though. Hanethrick Grimsford, a Forsaken member of the Faithful's Horde sister organization, the Warblade Clan, had agreed to help Shadryssa in her mission in exchange for his own glory--but was secretly helping the interests of the Faithful instead. He was led right to Tree and helped them to escape, assisting them with their wounds and walking in the meantime. Tree was reunited with the Shadows of the Faithful, and, in the final showdown, panicked and encased themselves in roots out of fear of Shadryssa. While the rest of the Faithful battled her, they were short a healer, and quickly began to take on more and more wounds. As a void tendril lunged for Randolph, Tree finally snapped.

They were done. They were done cowering before Shadryssa and her violence. Now she had hurt people they cared about. Erupting in a void ability of their own, Tree rushed across the battlefield and stopped the tendril in its tracks with their teeth, ripping it away. Shadryssa taunted them and asked them if they were going to fight back, and Tree declined, raising their hands and allowing nature magic to sprout and grow in delicate vines, healing their friends around them.

Shadryssa was defeated. The Faithful's wounds were healing and closing as soon as they were inflicted. She fled, stumbling off a cliff and hanging on by one hand--and Tree offered to help her up. To give her a chance to change, just as they did.

Shadryssa declined, and let go, falling to her demise beneath her.

Tree had proven it to themselves that they were capable of bravery, of defending themselves, of standing up for what they knew was right. A confidence sparked in them, and they realized, in the middle of battle, how terrifying the concept of losing Randolph was. Tree admitted their feelings to him, and he reciprocated.

Since then, Tree has gradually been perfecting their healing magics, even growing antlers out of their head as their connection to Druidism improved. It was discovered along the way that Shadryssa was actually mother to a Kaldorei named Phoebelynn, her father being a Warden Captain named Mythodoran, and Tree helped Phoebe to learn her value outside of her mother's wretched identity. Tree and Randolph have been getting along great, their relationship steady and helpful to both parties, and the support they have been able to provide each other helping them greatly. Tree has remained as a healer for the Faithful and helped in countless combats, and is finally living the peace they'd missed out on for so long.

[THOUGHTS]

WHEW this took a while 'cause I kinda got burnt out on writing but HERE IT IS lol, I hope y'all enjoy this! Tree has been one of my favorites for a while from the way they've grown and blossomed and them and Randolph are just super sweet and wholesome. Also I referred to Tree exclusively as "they" throughout this post in order to maybe help some confusion by contrasting their pronouns with Randolph and Hanethrick's "he." I tend to do that in writing--for example Tree here goes by "he/they" so if they're alone in a writing scene with a female I usually write "he" but if they're in a writing scene with a male I usually write "they." Anyway thx for reading!

@littledangerouswoman @howldean just for you two okay ily

okay so i feel like maybe as a play on the misunderstood initial meaning a lot have over what "beat sheets" actually are, beds are used motif in the story illuminate initially injury/disfunction but also healing okay follow me..

the beginning and ending scenes of the main story bookend having dean in bed right. at the start he’s basically not there, completely disconnected from himself, not just sexually/physically but emotionally and intellectually, that's obviously the humour of the scene (and most of the fic tbh). by the end with cas (but also with the bar project, finishing school, his relationships with jo and charlie etc), he's become so open and present and is healing. he says earlier to cas (again, in bed) that he thinks he's really present for the first time, but from our pov, we've seen that he's been growing and healing the whole time. the recurring scenes at the hospital reinforce this theme of healing for me, especially the epilogue tying it all together in that perfectly packaged sincere rom com way. the recurring physical injuries (and time spent on hospital beds) everyone experiences in the fic are paralleled seamlessly with the internal issues everyone's working through throughout the story. tldr; people are healing on those beds (in those beat sheets? idk i need to be put down)

in my mind i blog about beat sheet like we do dta. I’m connecting the dots i’m making playlists i’m spiralling etc

[derangedrhythms]

I now have Linda Sextons biography on my to-read list thankyou. Recs for psychologically intense novels or bios ? preferably with themes of madness.. mental disfunction.. I like reading about human nature and the strength of humanity, when your mind is being destructive over and over again .. a real battle..

The first book that comes to mind is 'An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness' by Kay Redfield Jamison.

'Girl, Interrupted' by Susanna Kaysen, 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' by Ken Kesey, 'The Bell Jar' by Sylvia Plath and 'The Bird's Nest' by Shirley Jackson are all either set in psychiatric hospitals or have themes of mental illness/personality disorder.

'The Shrine of Jeffrey Dahmer' and 'Killing for Company: The Case of Dennis Nilsen' by Brian Masters are two biographies of men who had incredibly destructive minds and were overcome by their passions and compulsions. I highly recommend them if you're at all interested in this sort of thing, but the subject matter can be intense and may be too much for some people.

Some favourites:

'Steppenwolf' by Hermann Hesse is one of the novels I've personally found to be the most 'psychologically intense'.

'The Sea, the Sea' by Iris Murdoch for its themes of obsession and self-deception.

'The Blind Owl' by Sadegh/Sadeq Hedayat, a novella with themes of delirium, obsession, death, decay...all my favourite things.

I hope there's something there that you will enjoy.

[alliumnoblade]

ok here i am again with another meta analysis for rick and morty season 6 because of course my obsession phase isn’t over yet

apparently this season is a lot focused on the family smith. it was a big hypothesis when he only had the titles for the season to base our opinions on, but also when it started to air it was pretty clear ALL the smiths are the main focus on this season. the dynamics they have as a family, the nuances, the ups and downs, how they (dis)function - it appears to be explored very heavily this season. lately (a little bit in season 5 too) all five of them seem to be treated as a family, and not just a bunch of people that happen to live together.

which is nice, i really appreciate it, especially because they seem to mix that with sci-fi stuff and humor and honestly i couldn’t ask for anything else (i can’t be the only one laughing the shit off myself this season all the jokes are landing to me please)

my point is, i wonder if the reason why they decide to explore this theme so much is due to quarentine.

right now the smith family are stuck with each other. with the portal gun broken, rick and morty can only go so far in their own dimension, and since they can’t afford to screw things up, they really seems to be doing things tamer and less dangerous than before. in other words, they have nowhere to run and rick needs to deal with his family more often now.

this sounds A LOT like quarentine to me. you going a little bonkers, but also needing to deal with your peer’s crazyness as well. it’s the time you need to confront how disfunctional your family really is but how you love them so deeply you have no other option but to endure them. (i’m talking about non-abusive homes here, please). personally, i think i got a lot closer to my parents and brother after this hell, and it seems fitting the writers went through that as well.

considering season six was written during a more flexible but still real part of the lockdown, i find it a good hypothesis they decide to write the show analog to what was happening in the real world. the smith family can go to school, work, go out to ice cream, but at the end of the day there’s not a lot they can do but to be under the same house for long period of time -  they can’t travel, they can’t pretend their problems don’t exist, they can’t go out often. they need to confront each other.

with this new premiere for episode 4, night family, it got really clear to me how they are willing to just dive deep into the family dynamics, making it more smith-centric. it has been a common theme that rick is acting more like a grandpa rather than a crazy asshole scientist lately, how beth is actually willing to be a good mother now, how jerry is finally being assertive about his place in his home, how morty and summer seems to have a more love-hate bond than just a i-cant-stand-you bond. they are still all fuck ups in their respective areas, they are still horrible people, but they are their OWN horrible people

also the fact that the smith family CHOOSE each other rather than just accept they need to live together adds a new layer to things. no one is from that reality, in the first episode they had the choice to be in their origin dimension if they wanted to and they’ve had tons of opportunities to just walk away before. after a long, long jurney with the same people since half the season 1 (and this jerry from season 2), we can say that the smith family aren’t connected because rick is a control freak, but because they do love each other and this is their burden to carry. in the end, family is a burden you can’t throw away, but it’s your burden and i love that.

and the fact that they actively made the choice to keep each other close is so much nicer than whatever the abusive dynamic they had in later seasons. it’s a found family, they became a found family even if disfunctional as hell. i love that

[sweetestpopcorn]

I’m aware you have issues with the entire show, i’ve read your blog. Just thought it was nice to see another having an issue with the laenor situation in particular after reading one of your answers. Not sure if it was intentional, but i don’t think you had to go off at me about your entire issues with the show.

I didn't go off on you. I am sorry you felt that way.

As you might now if you went through my blog this is a subject that deeply displeases me, and when people still want to bring it up honestly I don't know what reaction they expect.

I might be funny in my rant if I'm "in the mood" but most times the most unpleasant part of me will come out because: Everything about this show is trash and I want to make that clear.

I like to make a point that my view is not that X or Y didn't work, it's that nothing did and that I found everything absolutely atrocious. I don't even consider the Lenny lives thing the within the top maybe 10 things that are absolutely ridiculous with this show. And I absolutely will struggle to understand if that is someone's main issue and that is what ruined the show, or the chocking thing, is like excuse me? Have you not been paying attention to... everything?

Because in a show where Lana committed Dracaryscide, Droopy had f_cking LEPROSY, Matt has erectile disfunction, Renada and Alicia are bffs, Loserys murder was accidental, Anemia was cut open like a f_cking pig, and the usurpation was a joke, the Lenny thing is just keeping with the theme I guess.

But yes lets just ignore this steaming pile of cr@p and keep on watching for the... hype and validation from the rest of people without standards I guess.

Good god, anyone who complained about season 8 but is defending/justifying this lost all credibility. This makes season 8 look less atrocious! And just came to prove what I told months ago that D&D were the scapegoats. Were they to blame? Of course. Were they the only ones to blame? Nope!

There are plenty of spaces to go to to either gush about the show or say "oh wasn't it a shame that X happened? the rest was great!" But in my spaces, no sorry. I ask more of entertainment than this and I certainly ask more of "professional" writers than the crap that was put on display and makes 50 shades read like f_cking War and Peace. Hell, they make ANY fanfiction writer look like a pro! Not even in fanfiction have I ever encountered this amount of ludicrous events!

Again sorry if I was impolite but Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus

PS: This is not to you Anon, this is to everyone who feels the need to STILL comment on redacted on my comment section. I don't care if your favourite trope is murder victim to lover (credit to @alinahamsmsnahams for this one) but I do care if you come to pollute my comment section with that cr@p. Keep your favourite redacted content away from my spaces. Thank you!

[amygdalagustd]

One of my favorite things about evangelion is how it shows that mental health is a systemic thing.

Everyone in the show is fucked up because their parents where fucked up. All the adults are fucked up because they went through disaster in their early twenties and all the kids are fucked up because they were children in the aftermath of disaster. Everyone is stuck in political and economical systems that they can't change and that don't benifit them. The completely lack of resources keeps everyone in line because there is nothing else they can do. Last but not least, the treat of the world ending looms over everyone's head and makes them throw away any kind of long term planning in favor of just surviving one more day.

A big theme in evangelion is how humans ultimately need relationships to fuction, but it's also about society and how it ultimately fails to provide them with this very basic need. Everyone in the show is so freaking lonely. They're all desperately trying to break free from their individual loneliness, but there is no way that they can win against the systems that work against them. No individual can break free from trauma when trauma is at the core of every aspect of society. They are all trying, but ultimately they all fall short, for themselves and for each other. As the systems continue to fail them, their attempts at attaining closeness become more disfunctional and extreme. In the end, Gendo significantly traumatises his only son and literally tries to end humanity in the most "main bad guy" way possible....simply so he can see his dead wife again. Society is a product of humanity, and it's ultimately here to serve us. When it fails to provide us with such a fundamental need we all have, it will eventually crumble, and that's what happens in evangelion.

Hetalia Headcannons: Origins

(Because I’ve seen some truly shitty takes on this theme and I just want to try my hand at it.)

- Nations in Hetalia are basically animistic deities, who are largely too stupid to realize they have god-like powers. Kidding, but they really don’t see themselves as gods, and definitely don’t require to be treated as such - no, not even USA.

- The family tree of the Romance family is truly a mess to behold. It is known that Grandpa Rome and lady named Longobardia had a child named Italia, and that she was the mother of Lovino and Romano. He also took as a subject in his house (a la Romano under Austria) lady named Iberia, but her son Asturias probably wasn’t his, although he definitely raised the child. Asturias then had a long and sordid relationship with Al-Andalus, which produced Spain and Portugal. France was a child of Frankia of the Germanic family, but he was basically adopted by aging Rome, and it’s likely he was his father. Romania is a bastard child of Rome and... Well, noone knows for sure. Romania claims his mother was Dacia, but she died long before his birth, so many people suspect some lady from the Slavic family, or another family entirely. Switzerland probably fits into this and Germanic family in some way, shape or form, but noone is sure how. Belgium is a bastard child of France and sister of Netherlands that was raised by Austria, and all in all is MUCH more well-adjusted than that description would imply.

- Germanic family is even more of a mess due to their penchant for chimerism - a capability of related nations to fuse together into one being. They are all descendants of Germania, who had many children and even more grandchildren. The rest of the family tree is super murky; Netherlands, Nordic nations and probably England are distant cousins of Prussia, Germany and Austria. Germany and Prussia are brothers (in fact, Germany is a fusion of all of Prussia’s brothers), while Austria is a cousin of theirs. Again, Switzerland is probably related to them somehow, but it’s super unclear. What we do know is that he and Austria lived together for a while, but after a raging argument, Switzerland moved out and declared independence. Liechtenstein is Austria’s long lost sister.

- Slavic nation have a much clearer family tree. Mother Venedia had three sons, West, East and South Slavia, who are in turn fathers of all the current Slavic nations. West had two children, Great Moravia and Poland. There is some mess with Slovakia and Bohemia being originally one child, that is Great Moravia, but that one split in two after Hungary invaded - Bohemia fled westward, while Hungary found its twin Slovakia in the stuff she stole from Moravia. South had many children, who were basically just a mess of fusing, splitting and begetting children; this part of the tree doesn’t figure into the story that much anyway, but it’s interesting to note that Croatia and Slovenia have a history of living with both Hungary and Austria. East Slavia’s family is a disfunctional mess even by the standards of the nations. Slavia’s daughter Rus had three children, Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. Rus died in a war with Mongolia, leaving his children orphans. Ukraine was adopted by Poland, but as you can imagine, he wasn’t the most responsible of fathers, so she practically raised herself. Belarus grew up with the Baltics, but she always felt like she doesn’t belong, especially after Lithuania married Poland, for whom Belarus had nothing but disdain. You can imagine she was eager to join Russia after the partition of Poland. Russia lived as a servant in Mongolia’s house, untill he rose up and gained his father’s land back. Baltics are cousins of the Slavs, though there is some indication Estonia is just adopted.

- Hungary, as far as we know, isn’t related to anyone, though there are some speculations about her being a daughter of some “original” Hungary and West Slavia. For her part, Hungary denies being related to the Slavs in any way, though she undoubtedly learned some of their mannerisms.

- England is... Complicated. It lives on the estates of the Celtic family, and was undoubtedly adopted by them, but his origins are more obscure, Germanic and/or Nordic. He also had a huge crush on France when he was a kid, spending a lot of time with, which is why he has some Romance manners despite not being actually related to that family.

Thoughts about the fifth season (spoilers)

Okay, so normally I would make these posts as neutral as possible because I want them to reach anyone who enjoys the show. Even if you are someone that really fucking hates incest ships you can read them and still have an idea of what I liked, what didn’t, etc, without me bringing up that element. You can disagree or agree without being reminded “oh, yeah, he is one of THOSE fans I don’t like” and that is totally fine by me. Curate your own online experience and all that. But this is season is quite literally about the relationship between Rick and Morty, so as a rickmorty shipper I just can’t separate that from what I enjoyed about it and thus I am going to be talking from that position during all of this. If that makes you uncomfortable, that is cool, I get it. You can skip this one if you want. Also, this is going to be a general big mess of thoughts and whatever because I have lots of them so, bear with me. -Some of the shippers I was with on a server will know this already, but from the very first episode I was sure we were going to have two major themes: 1. Rick is a flawed human being, not a god, not a ultra genius who is always destined to be on top of everything and knows how to get out of any situation. Just a man. And that is why he needs other people, which is somethig he had to accept and understand about himself, especially after the fourth season was all about dethroning him as the patriarch of the family and break away the illusions that Beth had about her own father. We have standed too long having Rick win on everything and coming out like a badass, so it’s time to kick him down a bit and let him lose. 2. Morty’s heart is always going to get fucked over, which is something that gets even more explored on the Planetina episode: he wants a place to belong with a person who doesn’t make him feel like the odd one out. Combine the two and my idea was: they want to assure us about their relationship on some kind of way, this is about them and what they feel regarding each other. Probably about why or how Rick became so jaded because why else include Rick freaking out about Mr Nimbus just mentioning Diane’s name and how much he changed, on a first episode no less, if this isn’t something we are setting up to see later. They explicitely brought someone from Rick’s past to talk about that past and make a point to tell us that changed Rick. -So, we have the two major player set up like this: on one hand, Morty aspires for that companionship but he is not willing to compromise his own moral for it, whatever he has left after starting to take on some Rick’s traits. He is desperate for that connection and if that means leaving Rick behind, so be it. Rick will still be there anyway. On othe other hand, Rick also wants that connection and companionship but it’s too disfunctional and can’t make it quite work because there is always a part of him that wants to keep distance. With the alien lady, evne with the crows, it’s all about escapism and pretend like everything is fine, it’s just fun and he doesn’t have to care because they are just having a good time together. He tried to do that too with BP by keeping away the info about his daughter, but he called his bluff because BP knew Rick too much to not see that comic. It’s rebound after rebound because he is missing the one person that can keep him in check, that truly knows what a piece of fucking shit he is and somehow still comes back to him. BP saw that, knew what was happening, and prefered to get the fuck away because he didn’t want to compromise his own values like that either. But Rick doesn’t have that problem with Morty. It truly is Rick and Morty one hundread years because, no matter how fucking bad it gets, they still choose one another. -Now, the way they keep building up this relationship, these connection, even regarding the rest of the family, to me is brilliant in restrospect because it perfectly illustrate how much they have changed from what they were before and what that means. Morty is more independent and less afraid, right, but that doesn’t make him more happier because he is still lonely and Rick is being reminded, over and over again, that he can’t be alone either. -Regarding the way Morty have behaved, I have seen some people being concerned about how Morty is becoming more independent and therefore not relying on Rick as much for anything, so it’s like what is the point of their relationship anymore. And like, to me it makes sense they show because they have already told us on past seasons that Morty has stopped viewing Rick with that wide eyed expression for a long time. He is learning from him and can defend himself, so why does he need Rick at al? The answer is because he loves him. You can read that as platonic or romantic or whatever, but for better or for worse Morty just loves Rick. You shouldn’t love people because you need them, or at least that is not a healthy basis for any relationship. I said this on another post: you cannot make anyone to be your center for your mental health like that, and I feel like they aware of this point, which I really fucking love because it would have been easy as fuck to write any pairing like that.  -If you stay for the “Behind of scenes” scenes, the writers talk about how this season is about building trust between Rick and Morty. So it starts with Morty going around cleaning up some of the messes Rick left behind without telling Rick and then fucking the portal gun because he doesn’t trust Rick to not “kill him” to finding out he did that, just like Rick in fact doesn’t trust Morty to not be doing unnecesary bullshit. So Morty, hurt because his suspicions were right, puts an ultimatum and Rick, being the petty fuck we all know him to be, takes it kind because of course he would. -What does Morty does immediately after this? Latch onto another sketchy as fuck older man whose name ends with Ick and hope that is the connection he craves, because after all “we are like brothers now.” So rebound for him, rebound for Rick, rebounds for the crows, rebounds for everyone. Yay. -I know it has been however many years have passed since this show started, and it was obvious for fucking everyone who watched it, but I do really like that they use the exact words for how their dynamic has been: unhealthy, toxic, abusive. Lack of trust, lack of boundaries, secrets. Just straight up calling it as it is. So they have both of them confronting that fact, being aware of it, and to top it all off, make Morty the only being now on their universe that knows everything about Rick, every single thing he has kept even from BP, like the true reason he joined to their guerilla group, and still makes the conscious choice to go after Rick even when, as far he was aware of at least, there was another option.  -So, okay, now what, might someone ask. We have put everything out there and we have talked about what is wrong about their relationship, does this mean we are doing the boring healthy bullshit now? Well, nope. Considering that Morty did went out of his way to guilt trip Rick into getting back and Rick admits point blank admits he get it, Morty refusing to demand things be different because he is just desperate... they are still and probably always going to be a condependent mess, but hey, a condependent mess that at least is kinda self aware about it and won’t pull the “I am going to break up with you on a whim” move again, hopefully. I do think and expect some things to change, but only as far their dynamic during adventures goes and regarding the rest of the family, with everyone being on the know that those two are an item neither of them can get in between. Rick is probably still going to want to keep some things in control, he is still not going to express his feelings to Morty directly and Morty is still going to be a little shit that will want for validation that won’t come his way. It’s a shithole house, but at leat it’s their home kind of thing, and personally, that is how I like it. -The “adventures as a metaphor for a relationship so this is not like a real break up” is real funny when you hear the writers literally calling it a break up and a relatonship. Also, the amount of times that they say “my partner”. Like, I am sorry, but how the fuck I am supposed to believe this wasn’t for the shippers, fucking how? Like even if you aren’t one, and you go “it’s a metaphor!! it’s not like an actual relationship, they are not saying they are together as a couple”, that is flimsy as fuck because we have determined already that Rick uses adventures as an extension for all his relationships. There is a intentional paralel between BP and Morty and how Rick treats the both of them, like he would do anything for them but still be kind of a lying piece of shit too, so it’s definitely canon on the sense -Omg, we had miniature cute Mortys who like crayons and also big hot adult Morty, fucking finally. I cannot fucking believe they wouldn’t know the blessing they were throwing to fandom with that one, they know what they are doing.  -Rick as a boy dressing on the same colors of Morty could have been a cute little detail, like aww, they are family, so they pass down those colors from one generation to another because family, but fuck all of that, let’s make it creepy and fucked up because why not. But it’s also interesting because if Ricks breeded Mortys and put those colors on them, isn’t that another way of saying “you are connected to us just as much as we are connected to you”? Because they didn’t had to chose those colors, but they did it because it meant something for them. On a very fucked up way, I think they might even feel themselves more fathers to Morty than even Beth, because many of them didn’t cared manipulating her in order to gain more Mortys even if they could just clone them easily. -”You all really are bred for forgiveness”... Not really, or else “Evil Morty” wouldn’t exist and Cop Rick, the good one, would have never been attacked by using the attachment of Ricks against him. But Morty had made his choice and that choice was Rick, and even then Rick cannot fucking believe it so he has to reduce it to his breeding. -So, the finite curve has been destroyed and almost all Ricks were killed, the ones that weren’t coincidentally fucking off to another place just when that happened. That means that now there is true infinite universe where Rick is not the smartest man on the universe, where Rick doesn’t even exist at all, so we may have adventures where other people where the smartest people on their universe and Rick could finally meet his equal or someone even worse.  -The final speech of Mr Poppybutthole is kinda the perfect ending to everything, because he is talking avoid being afraid of the people he loves finding the “true” self of him and not loving him anymore, but Morty did that and he still loves Rick and, listen, I have FEELINGS about it, okay.  -After exploring this, which was the true only canonical mistery of the whole series, while also dumping off the backstory of Rick so nobody has to theorize about it anymore, it feels like they going two routes: either we are dumping anything about serialized anything, at least for a while, and we are back to just silly adventures with asshole grandpa and traumatized kid, or... we are introducing another big baddie that we are going to drag to hell and back. Maybe Evil Jerry? That could be fun to explore on the show. My bet is on the second option because I think that is the kind of thing that Justin really enjoys doing and that is why it appears on Solar Opposites as well, with the whole Wall as a central points behind all the shenanigans of the aliens.  -The only misteries left are: the weird Rick that killed his family, if he wasn’t killed already on the Citadel, and Birdperson reunion with his daughter, for which he might ask Rick’s help in the future when he cools down or maybe Rick gets his daughter back for him on a ridiculous plan to make him return his calls, because that is something he is going to pull. The Jessica thing and her quest for becoming an actual character with her own thing going on. -This finale made rickmorty canon on all the ways it could without having them literally making out willingly, and after Naruto, I don’t think that is a line they are not willing to cross at some point in the future, even if it’s just a joke. They already did with the parasites. I honestly don’t even know how you can watch the show and think “fuck yeah, they hate those ships just as much as I do!”, because with the way the writers talk about it and literally this entire season being nothing but a building up for their relationship, I would have been turned if I didn’t ship it already.

Hi there :) any book recommendations? ♥️

Hello! Yes omg I have so many. 

The Eight Mountains by Paulo Cognetti - I’m pretty sure I’ve already said way too much about this book on here but it’s so fucking good. It’s a story of two boys who meet in the mountains in Italy and while one moves on at some point, the other stays. The writing is absolutely beautiful and I love the way Paolo Cognetti uses the mountains as a metaphor for life. It works perfectly. Also I just really love Italy and mountains and I went on a trip to exactly the area where this book takes place so yeah. Here’s a quote from the book: “From my father I had learned, long after I had stopped following him along the paths, that in certain lives there are mountains to which we may never return. That in lives like his and mine, you cannot go back to the mountain that is in the center of all the rest, and at the beginning of your own story. And that wandering around the eight mountains is all that remains for those who, like us, on the first and highest, have lost a friend.” // “Whatever destiny may be, it resides in the mountains that tower over us.” 

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer - This is such a wonderful book. I had to read it for my IB English class at some point and it’s one of the few books I’ve had to read for a class that I’ve actually finished. The narrator of the story is the nine-year-old Oskar, who lost his father to the 9/11 terrorist attack. He’s an unreliable narrator with thoughts that are sometimes hard to follow, so it’s a very interesting and sometimes heartbreaking read. There’s also a lot of interesting pages in the book, including photos and changes in formatting (tw for a picture of The Falling Man). Here’s a few quotes from the book (again, tw for themes of death and references to the attack): “Humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion, wages war, and kisses with lips. So in a way, the more you kiss with lips, the more human you are. And the more you wage war.” // “I missed you even when I was with you. That’s been my problem. I miss what I already have, and I surround myself with things that are missing.” // “Feathers filled the small room. Our laughter kept the feathers in the air. I thought about birds. Could they fly if there wasn’t someone, somewhere, laughing?” // “I thought about all of the things that everyone ever says to each other, and how everyone is going to die, whether it’s in a millisecond, or days, or months, or 76.5 years, if you were just born. Everything that’s born has to die, which means our lives are like skyscrapers. The smoke rises at different speeds, but they’re all on fire, and we’re all trapped.”

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey - Another book that I had to read for IB English. I almost finished it, which really does say a lot. Again there’s an unreliable narrator, which I love. There’s so many themes in this book to analyse, so many different stories, metaphors, allusions, small details that make you go ‘wow’. This book will never be boring. I can’t even begin to describe what this book is about because it’s so complicated. It’s a story about empowerment, about breaking taboos regarding mental health, about nature versus modernisation. It’s revolutionary. Here’s some quotes from the book: “I been silent so long now it’s gonna roar out of me like floodwaters and you think the guy telling this is ranting and raving my God; you think this is too horrible to have really happened, this is too awful to be the truth! But, please. It’s still hard for me to have a clear mind thinking on it. But it’s the truth even if it didn’t happen.” // “All that five thousand kids lived in those five thousand houses, owned by guys that got off the train. The houses looked so much alike that, time and time again, the kids went home by mistake to different houses and different families. Nobody ever noticed.”

The Melting by Lize Spit - This is one of the worst books I’ve ever read, but in a good way. This fucked me up on so many levels. It’s about a girl in a small town with a disfunctional family who befriends two boys her age. As they reach puberty, their relationship dynamic starts to shift and a lot of cruel things happen. Lize Spit starts the book with a riddle and the main reason I finished this book was because I wanted to know the answer to it. Anyway, great book but major tw for sexual assault and suicide. Here’s a quote from the book, very poorly translated by the one and only me: “People who want to go anywhere, they don’t necessarily want to go somewhere, they just don’t want to stay.”

Beyond Sleep by Willem Frederik Hermans - This book, man. It just gives you an existential crisis but in the best way possible, really made me question everything I knew. This is a book that can be read on three different levels, and you can just choose whichever you prefer. To quote Wikipedia (yeah, I’m that professional): “…  as the report of a geological expedition, as a psychological story of a young man with the urge to supersede his father’s achievement, and as a philosophical story in which the search for meteorites must be interpreted as a “holy grail quest”, one that leads the protagonist to the insight that no understanding of the fundamental mystery of life is possible.” I personally read it as the first and second level, which was more than enough for me hahahah. I love this book because it’s so typical of the Dutch post-war period; the ‘everything goes wrong and nothing ever has any purpose’ mentality. Here’s a quote from the book (again, very poorly translated by me): “I suddenly realise that I live in constant fear of having to exist in a society where everyone deceives everyone.” // “Science is the titanic attempt of the human intellect to save itself from its cosmic isolation by understanding.” // “His face is exactly the way I saw it in his sleep: Incomprehensibly old and tired, wrinkled like the bark of an oak. But this isn’t sleep. This is beyond sleep.”

This turned out way longer than I intended it to be, sorry! I hope you like my taste in books hahaha, let me know if you decide to start reading one of these!

Mon-El Appreciation Week Day 5, continued ...

Favorite platonic relationships -

Apparently I can't stop with today's theme

MONWINN!!!!! My favorite hero nerds in space!!!

I think Winn is probably the first friend Mon-El ever had who just liked him for him, and not because of his status or what he might be able to do for them (how many people do you think were constantly sucking up to the royal family on Daxam?). And Winn's also the first person he meets on Earth who isn't like, "ugh, he's a Daxamite." They've also TOTALLY discussed their disfunctional family backgrounds at length (we got that one little throwaway line about it in Distant Sun).

One of the things I love about their friendship is that they never try to change each other and are just buddies as they are. Mon-El is a jock and an idiot puppy, and Winn is a tech and science nerd.

The only reason I am able to stomach the current situation after S3 at all is because Mon-El and Winn are our blundering around space together superheroing (and Mon-El at least has his best friends with him after making an impossible choice and walking away brokenhearted, again).

(Oh and also, I love this trio, because Winn is the only one who made a real effort with Imra when she showed up, and he’s absolutely going to stick his nose in the middle of all their arguments and I love this)

And THESE TWO killing me with every scene.

The way Mon-El and J'onn's friendship organically evolved was one of my favorite surprises of S3. I love that J'onn knows something is going on and is the one Mon-El finally spills his guts to in 'Both Sides Now.' J'onn is Space Dad for a reason. He's older than the rest of them, he's (most of the time) wiser, he has seen so much loss and grief and so many changes. And because of all of that, he's the one who's best-equipped to meet Mon-El where he's at at this moment (“I’m quite familiar with the marital spat.”).

J'onn talked to Mon-El throughout the season like another grown-up now instead of just “this puppy” who’s kind of bouncing around maaaaaybe not always listening, which kind of makes me both proud and nostalgic/sad. But at the same time, he’s not above calling him “young man” and lecturing him.

Plus, you don't think Space Dad gives just anyone the keys to the car, do you?
