it's pretty wild to me that people don't see that aang running off to save katara in CoD is his luke in empire strikes back moment, where he runs headlong into his want and attachment and he's narratively punished for doing so and not learning his lesson - aang runs after katara despite guru pathik's warning, like luke runs after leia and han from yoda on dagobah despite yoda's warning; similarly, as a result, things go to hell in ba sing se like they do on bespin - aang enters the avatar state before he's ready and gets killed, and ba sing se falls to the fire nation, luke fights vader before he's ready, loses a hand, and symbolically commits suicide after vader tells him he's luke's father.

the difference between their character arcs is that george lucas and co. actually went thru with luke's hero's journey and understood the fundamental difference between attachment and love, whereas I don't think bryke understood this difference and then dropped this from aang's arc pretty much completely and replaced it with aang digging in his heels into his want and attachment and he gets rewarded with energy bending from a lion turtle, the avatar state from a random pointy rock, and his forever girl from the self-indulgent white men that couldn't bring themselves to give their hero a compelling character arc that meant he might not have gotten everything he wanted at the end.

Since you mentioned liking Secretkeeper, any plans on writing Bkorn/Vertin? finding fics of rare ships is hard ;-;

This is me planting seeds in your mind (lovingly)

You're right! I am an outrageous multi-shipper and I think Vertin and Bkornblume are adorable. They're both a mischievous and playful, yet gentle. They're both sneaky rebels too. Vertin worked from within the Foundation, Bkorn worked within the Stasi to help others. Bkorn seems fond of Vertin in her voicelines. She shares snacks with her and asks Vertin to read her poems in the Wilderness. Bkorn's reactions in the Wilderness like telling Vertin secrets or giggling make me think they enjoy each other's company. There's also this description of her:

A best friend who loves to yap but always lends a ears. Bkornblume is someone Vertin confides in and that makes her special. Also the little animation of them cuddled on the couch sharing a scarf was what finally did me in. Too sweet c:

I won't say I had plans on writing (no drafts or anything) since I'm all over the place with that stuff. I did have some secretkeeper in an idea I had floating around. It actually started as a crappy love triangle with Vertin, Matilda, and Sonetto. This was what I cultivated from my brainrot for anyone interested (not a fleshed out fic but an idea):

Matilda approaches Vertin one day and tells her she's going to confess to Sonetto. Vertin is confused as to why she needs to tell her first, and Matilda tells Vertin to quit playing dumb. They both like Sonetto, but they're also friends. She is warning Vertin out of respect and consideration for her friend, which moves Vertin (i HATE love triangles that aren't triangles. Vertin and Matilda are buddies and they don't want to hurt each other.) Nonetheless, Vertin wishes Matilda good luck and assures her she wants them to be happy. Matilda isn't convinced but thanks Vertin with a big hug before leaving.

When Matilda finally confess, Sonetto needs time to answer. Sonetto decides to ask for Vertin's advice like usual. Vertin plays wingman and says that it's worth trying to see how their relationship goes. Matilda and Sonetto got along since they were kids and she mentions that Matilda had a crush back then too. Sonetto admits she was totally caught off guard and says that she's never been good at noticing things like that. Vertin knows this first-hand, but doesn't bring up her feelings. She then asks Sonetto if there's a reason to reject Matilda. Matilda is cute, energetic, and compassionate. What could go wrong? Sonetto tentatively agree. She thinks highly of Matilda too, but something is amiss. Sonetto hasn't realized she also has feelings for Vertin (she confuses her love with admiration). She accepts Matilda's proposal and the two start dating.

Vertin is happy for Matilda, yet a part of her is also heartbroken. Vertin hates this feeling because she already decided to let Sonetto go. Sonetto and Matilda share the same beliefs and they will always follow the Foundation (in her mind). They're both brilliant arcanists and they are a perfect match. There will come a time where Sonetto will have to leave her side regardless of Matilda's involvement, and so Vertin already prepared herself for another goodbye.

This is where Bkornblume comes in!

Bkorn knows about the situation before everyone else because of course she does. She congratulates Sonetto and Matilda in person, but in the evening she finds Vertin alone in her office and confronts her. "Are you really ok with this?" Vertin tells her it doesn't matter if she's ok or not; Sonetto is better off with Matilda. As Vertin's friend, Bkorn is livid but lends an ear instead of continuing to argue.

Here is where Sonetto and Vertin's paths begin to diverge.

Sonetto and Matilda are happy together, but there are times during their dates that Sonetto's mind wanders to Vertin. Vertin would love this. I wonder what Vertin is up to? Things like that. Vertin's always on the back of her mind, but Sonetto chooses to focus on her girlfriend. Sonetto is very loyal and devoted to Matilda and things progress between them. I want to reiterate that Sonetto really cares about Matilda and she's assuming her affection will grow into true love with time (Sonetto also kisses Matilda first. Matilda initiated, but got flustered so Sonetto met her half-way).

On Vertin's side, Bkorn has decided to treat her on a "date" too to cheer her up (and get her out of the Suitcase because Vertin mentioned that she sees Sonetto everywhere. It's like she's expecting to see her puppy run up to her every time she turns the corner). This "date" will also serve as a reason for them to speak one on one without interruption.

Bkorn was being silly, but Vertin mentions she's never really had a chance to go on a date before, at least not a proper one. Bkorn volunteers to take her on more. Vertin thinks she's joking again but Bkorn says she thinks Vertin needs to take time for herself and experience things. It doesn't have to be serious, just have fun. Life is too short, something they both know all too well. Vertin agrees but she's also worried because she doesn't know what to do. Bkorn reassures her. "Now is a great time for us to learn! We can figure it out together." Yeah, neither of them really know where to go from here but they match each other's vibes. Vertin cheers up a bit too. However, Secretkeeper is a secret from everyone else. Bkorn and Vertin don't want to attract attention since they're not really serious (put a pin in that and then throw it away because this is the only time i've written this out lol)

While the pairs become closer, Sonetto and Vertin grow more distant. Sonetto misses giving Greeting Kisses (Vertin put a stop to it out of respect for Matilda and Sonetto agreed that she had a point. No one wants to make ducky sad). Vertin misses Sonetto falling asleep against her shoulder and helping her with the daily crossword in the newspaper. They feel each other's absence in all the little things. Sonetto knows Vertin enough to tells she's hiding something, but not exactly what which also bugs her.

Relationship wise, Sonetto and Matilda move slow and steady, fumbling through intimacy together. They're both very comfortable with each other and progress step by step.

Bkorn and Vertin are kinda the opposite. Because of their situation, they're very direct about everything. This is especially true for Vertin because Bkorn encourages her to express things outwardly. However, she has no idea what she signed up for. Example:

Vertin is up late as usual and decides to share her thoughts instead of being alone with them (she knows Bkorn isn't asleep yet either), "Are we going to kiss at some point?"

"Do you want to?"

"Most couples do."

"But I'm asking if you want to. If you want a kiss, you'll get one."

"When?"

"Whenever you want."

"Now?"

Bkorn was not ready for this. "Vertin, it's 2am."

"Is that a bad time?"

"That depends on the kiss. Impress me or I'm not letting you sleep over again."

Vertin continues to sleepover after this.

They're whole...situationship (idk what to call it) is like that. Vertin and Sonetto learn things about themselves while they are with their partners. Matilda helps Sonetto get over the guilt she has when people do things for her. Sonetto finally understands that giving can also make the giver happy. Its ok to accept and receive love (screw that martyr mentality!) Naturally this also makes her think back to all the times she and Vertin squabbled about this very thing.

Vertin gets more vocal about her feelings too. She opens up about loss and grief and Bkorn helps her realize that one of the reasons she's very tactile is because she can confirm people's existence through touch. As someone who sees and hears people who no longer exist, physical touch can be a source of comfort. An almost addictive one that she didn't notice until Bkorn brought it up. Bkorn liked the attention, but she noticed a pattern in Vertin that concerned her. Normally Vertin's affection is random but sweet. She'll walk into the room, kiss her cheek or give her a hug, then return to whatever she was originally doing. They're pleasant surprises. However, after a meeting with the Foundation or during a heavy thunderstorm Vertin will always seek her out and it ends up being more than a kiss. The physical attention didn't bother Bkorn in the slightest, but Vertin's almost desperate antics worried her especially when she realized that it was because Vertin was hurting inside (reminder this is/was an "unserious" and "for funsies" situationship). Yes, I gave Vertin unhealthy coping.

Sonetto and Vertin are also doing things for their partners! It's not all one-sided. There's a point where Bkorn tells Vertin : "If I didn't know better, I'd assume you love me" in response to how Vertin treats her. Vertin genuniely wishes she could. She wants to love Bkorn but they both know Sonetto still has a grip on her.

Meanwhile Sonetto does everything from making breakfast to showering Matilda with attention (wife-netto). However, Matilda isn't stupid. She's been observing (stalking) Sonetto for years so she can tell something or rather someone is on her mind. However, she believes her love will win over Sonetto eventually. She must have faith.

Even though her divination showed her a sinking ship. It's one of the few times she hopes she is wrong.

From here on is a mess. As in, I don't know where we're going from here either.

I did have some ideas, but not very fleshed out.

Sonetto learns Vertin's secret when Vertin is injured during a mission (I'm always injuring her; this is the extent of my creativity). Sonetto insists on helping Vertin place healing ointment on the back of her shoulder. Vertin says its just a minor injury, but gives in when she sees how worried Sonetto is. She can't say no to that face. While Sonetto's applying the salve, she freezes at the the sight of a few other "injuries". Kiss marks as clears as day and light scratches. Sonetto starts slathering salve on them immediately to erase them, startling Vertin. She quickly realizes Sonetto is erasing the evidence Bkorn left behind, but doesn't mention it. She gives an awkward thanks and the two are super tense around each other after that.

Sonetto racks her brain to find out who the hell put there hands on Vertin and she confides in Matilda. Matilda is shocked, but she's happy (and relieved) Vertin found someone. Sonetto is still reeling, "But why would she hide that from us?" Matilda asks a question she wasn't ready for:

Why is she angry?

Sonetto can't answer. Is it because their friends and friends don't have secrets? No, Vertin always had secrets. That's just the way she is and Sonetto never had a problem with it...until now. She reflects on these ugly emotions and their source.

More stuff happens...idk if I can tie them in well so I'll just jump forward

She eventually suspects Bkornblume but she's still not sure what to do with that information even if she's right.

When Sonetto, Vertin and Bkorn are working together on some paperwork, Bkorn asks Vertin for coffee. Vertin scurries off immediately.

Sonetto asks why keeps bossing Vertin around. Bkorn takes no offense and explains that if she doesn't give Vertin something to do, Vertin will find something to do for her. Usually that means spending Sharpadonties (or stuff that would make Sonetto kill her if she found out). By making a simple request, Vertin can still fulfil her need to provide without going overboard. Since the need to give is part of Vertin, this is Bkorn's way of letting Vertin be herself but in a way that won't hurt her wallet. Vertin returns with freshly brewed coffee for everyone, not just Bkorn. Bkorn thanks her and Vertin lights up like a proud child. Vertin sits still and helps finish the rest of the work without running off to buy snacks or her usual antics. Sonetto remembers her talk with Matilda. She realizes that she could have done something similar to Bkorn because Vertin truly from the bottom of her heart wants to make the people happy. It's adorable--

Sonetto tells Matilda about her new discovery. Matilda gives her a defeated smile. She advises Sonetto to talk to Vertin one on one. It'll be better for both of them. Afterall, they're all friends here. They want what's best for each other. This time when Matilda kisses her, it feel different. Like a goodbye?

Sonetto can't sleep that night and ends up finding Vertin in the living room in her favorite armchair by herself. Vertin can't sleep because Bkorn had a similar talk with her (they've been talking about it because bkorn has feelings for Vertin but there's no room in her heart for her.)

Up until now Sonetto and Vertin have been somewhat tense around each other but Vertin can tell somethings bothering her. "What's wrong, Sonetto?"

This time, Sonetto has a request. "Can I hug you?"

Vertin bolts up and gives her one, "Are you alright?"

That's when Sonetto realizes how much she truly missed Vertin and how stupidly in love she is with her. And from here...

I don't think I settled on a proper conclusion so I just replay scenes in my head repeatedly. There are interactions with Vertin and Matilda too because they're friends. Really need this to be a proper triangle!

But thanks for sticking around until this point. I don't make many posts about ships aside from TK14 and Verneider so this exploded out of me. The repressed one was me the whole time.

The Tortured Poets Department is giving folklore but sexy and mature and also directly autobiographical….

[naggingatlas]

please stop making sense

[cathymee]

maybe it's to maintain a sense of tension & turmoil that would eventually reach an explosive peak, a sense of tug-of-war, a back-and-forth to hammer home the ideals they want to deliver and for the viewers to chew on, but although these arguments regarding hiroshi & his stance as a man torn between his loyalty for his country & the loyalty for his Filipino friends and lover is of course important, how they write these scenes & the points they present from this week alone is getting too repetitive...? literally the argument scenes from last night & tonight between adelina & hiroshi is basically the same; the ideas were the same, the dynamics were the same: the aggressive, radical adelina, bristling rage and fear over the injustices she's seen thus far, and the cautious, inspiriting hiroshi, all hopefulness and reassurance one moment as a lover, defensiveness and sternness as a japanese soldier in another. this debate will be ever-present ofc, it is one of the series' biggest conflicts, but it is unfortunately so easy to tell when it is a.) being pulled up as a main topic to move the plot along / be a necessary conflict for character development/introspection / be the conflict to deliver the morals & messages the writers want to send to their viewers, or b.) when it is being pulled up only for the drama and filler to pass the time. like watching the characters sit down to argue for 10 minutes, do other things for the plot for 2 minutes, then sit down again to argue for the next 20 minutes. lol.

I would absolutely love nothing more then to get my story out there! I've worked so hard and I am so nervous as this is my first fanfiction!! (I also would die for followers and friends)

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

ughhh thinking back on the original atla and lok by association reminds me of how much the writers of these shows just... cannot write a good romance.

[the-acid-pear]

Okay because, i was thinking of the cello again, right? Because i'm fucking obsessed with that cello, since to me is not only what really makes this movie an objectum one but also what makes it so tragic bc it really hammers home how easily Madeline could've loved Edgar, but that's besides the point. What i wanted to talk about is its death, bc it always made me upset how Miles is like "ah dw its just a cello :)" but thinking of it and thinking of the ending... I feel there's a bit more to it. A parallel between Edgar and Madeline. An ironic one at that, one, since Edgar was the object tied to a human and Madeline the human tied to an object. But even if tragic, Miles was right about her. She didn't need that cello to be a good player. She already had it in her. Just like Edgar didn't need Moles to be happy, or to feel love. It's sad, yes, but it's a sad movie and like they say... tears mean things will change.

The Endless Showdown: Kuzco vs. Hades for Snow White's Heart

---

Setting: (Disney Mirrorverse) The Forest Mine, where the sun shines through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Birds chirp, and magical creatures flit about.

---

Characters:

- Kuzco: The self-absorbed emperor-turned-llama and Disciple of the Groove.

- Hades: The fiery ruler of the Underworld and Lord of the Dead.

- Snow White: The fairest of them all, with a kind heart and Stalwart Friend of the Forest

- The Muses: A sassy, harmonizing group of goddesses who narrate epic stories.

- Theme Song Guy: A mysterious character who pops up randomly to sing catchy tunes.

---

The Forest Mine Musical Meeting:

*Kuzco struts into the clearing, his golden wrist cuffs gleaming in the sunlight.*

*Snow White approaches, humming a sweet tune.*

Kuzco: (to the audience) Listen up, everybody! The one and only Kuzco here to grace you with my presence. And who's that lovely lady over there? Snow White? Yeah, she's all about apples, seven little dudes, and singing with birds. But me? Kuzco. The ultimate groove master. Well, guess what? I've got eyes for her. Yeah, the one with the raven-black hair and the whole 'fairest of them all' gig.

*Hades materializes in a swirl of smoke, his signature blue hair dancing like flames, his eyes glowing yellow, and his skin has an ashen hue, reminiscent of smoldering embers.*

Snow White: Gentlemen, what brings you to my forest?

Hades: Hold it right there, Kuzco! Snowie is mine. Okay? I've got underworld connections, you know. Plus, I've got gravitas, a chiseled jawline, a killer sense of humor and I'm deceivingly smart. What have you got, huh? A llama transformation? I mean, come on!

Kuzco: Oh, please! I've got style, charm, silky hair you can actually run your fingers through without worry of getting burned, smooth moves, and... (smiles smugly and folds his arms) Theme Song Guy!

*Theme Song Guy pops up from behind a tree.*

Theme Song Guy: It's time for a musical interlude! (singing) 🎵 Love is in the air, but who will win her heart? Kuzco's got the groove, and Hades plays it smart! 🎵

Hades: (raises an eyebrow, pouts his lips, and snaps his fingers) Ladies?

*Five vivacious women appear from thin air.*

The Muses: (singing) 🎵 Snow White, Snow White, the fairest in sight, caught between two egos, oh, what a plight! 🎵

Snow White gazes on the goddesses with an enchanted look.*

*Kuzco and Theme Song Guy stare at them in disbelief.*

*Hades looks over his shoulder and shoots Kuzco a smug smirk with a victorious air about him.*

Kuzco: (head snaps down in Theme Song Guy's direction) DO SOMETHING, THEME SONG GUY, WE'RE LOSING HER!! (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞

Theme Song Guy: What do you want me to do? I may be a robust baritone with a dramatic tenor of Tom Jones, but I can't compete with hot goddesses!

Kuzco: ಥ_ಥ

---

The Battle of Wits and Gifts:

*Hades conjures a bouquet of black roses.*

Hades: Snowie, babe, these roses are as dark as my soul. They're practically immortal. Eternal love, anyone?

*Snow White hesitates.*

Kuzco: Hold up! Check out my gift! *He pulls out a golden llama figurine.* It's...uh, symbolic. Like, 'I'll be your llama forever' or something.

*The Muses roll their eyes.*

The Muses (Thalia): Kuzco, honey, stick to the groove. And Hades, stop being so dramatic!

---

The Grand Finale:

*Snow White stands between them, torn.*

Snow White: Gentlemen, I appreciate your efforts, but—

*Theme Song Guy interrupts.*

Theme Song Guy: (singing) 🎵 Who will claim her heart, the llama or the flame? love’s a wild target, in this romantic game! 🎵

*Snow White giggles.*

Snow White: You both make me laugh. But love isn't about gifts or grand gestures. It's about kindness, understanding, and—

*The Muses join in.*

The Muses: (singing) 🎵 In Olympus’ halls, where gods entwine, a catchy tune, forever divine. Love shall croon, its celestial refrain, echoing through realms, an emperor’s reign. 🎵

*Snow White smiles.*

Snow White: Maybe we can all be friends?

*Hades and Kuzco exchange glances.*

Hades: Deal. But if only Snowie's hugs are reserved exclusively for me. After all, I am the Lord of the Underworld—her hugs bring a touch of light to my eternal darkness.

Kuzco: Excuse me?! Snow White's hugs are a part of my daily ego boost! My royal body needs her warmth!

Snow White: (Her voice emanates disappointment and gives them a pleading look) Guys, please! ＞﹏＜

*And the forest echoes with their bickering.*

End.

---

Some notes in case of confusion. In the beginning, Kuzco breaks the fourth wall and talks to the audience like he did throughout his film.

I spent thirteen days writing this, so I hope you guys enjoyed it! I hope I kept everyone in character. I just want to make it clear that I am no song writer, and I solely relied on my rhyming dictionary for those song parts, lol. So, if there are parts that you find cringeworthy or cracky, I apologize because I was trying to make it as funny as possible.

Flug Is A Sk8er Boi (Miss Heed X Flug X Mecha Max Love Triangle Song)

I like to think this would fit how easily Miss Heed let Flug go in order to pursue Goldheart while in the meantime Flug finds new love in a genuine heroine who loves him for him and Miss Heed fully realizes what she was missing out all this time.

Not to rant about thg but to rant abt thg something that has always bothered me with all the hunger games dupes in the 2010s is the way they hollowly take aspects and apply them on a blanket level onto their world. Like a big critique of the ya genre is "why is it always teenagers in these situations" when thg had this clear explicit reason as to why the age range was teenagers and what that said about this society Suzanne Collins was trying to set up. A fictional society she was pretty explicitly using as a critique of real world american culture. Like it is not subtle!

And yes obviously ya novels use primarily 12-18 yr olds in their stories is because that age rage is typically the most marketable and the hunger games isn't this like radical exception to that, but what makes it stand out to me is that she had a narrative reason for that trope that isn't just "highschool kids meddling"

Just like how so many take the idea of "oppression government" and "being grouped into different divisions of society" at completely face value and don't try to add any meaningful depth. Even the love triangle, an aspect of those books I see torn to shreds constantly, was used as a device to analyze Katniss's character and motivations AND a way to explore that even her relationships are under control of this government. It all had purpose.
