#this is both my friends and all my favourite characters

[selfdesructivedisaster]

YASSS. So I don’t agree with all your points but I’m so happy to be having these complex moral discussions about my favourite musical!!!

To preface, I think you’re 100% right about Glinda obviously being the more selfish one of the two. To imply otherwise was dumb on my part lol.

To start at your first point, i don’t think having more justifiable motivations makes someone more or less selfish. Yes Elphaba only wants to be normal so people can stop judging her based solely on her appearance, but if anything id say this is a more selfish motivation than just wanting social status and fame. We often confuse selfishness as a bad thing, but when you’ve been ostracised and hated your whole life like Elphaba has of course you’d be mainly concerned with changing that. Her motivations in act one as a character are entirely for personal gain, to be see as normal. As to where Glinda who only wants status and love just because she likes it (my superficial queen) . it isn’t as intrinsic to her character as being accepted is to Elphaba’s character. Like, if you took away their selfish attributes: Glinda would definitely be changed, but Elphaba would just be an entirely different character!

To your second point I do think you’re partially right! Elphaba doesn’t want Glinda to ruin her life just because, she just wants her to fight against the injustices relating to animals! And the social isolation and hatred that would follow is just a byproduct of doing that! But here’s where Elphaba’s selfish tendencies shine the strongest in my opinion. Elphaba is so morally high and just that she’s is looking past social consequence and only focusing on political justice. She is ignoring how big of an ask this is and ignoring how doing this morally right thing would be a personally awful thing for Glinda. It’s selfless of her to fight for the rights of marginalised people because it’s going against her OWN initially selfish motivations but then going around and asking someone to do the same is selfish because even though Glinda also cares about animals, she has no obligation to ruin her life to help them out. asking this of Glinda even though she knows how miserable a life like that would be for her, is a selfish ask!

Now with all that being said you are 100% right that during Defying Gravity Elphaba goes through a change in her character that makes her more selfless than Glinda. But I think ignoring her initially selfish and self-centred roots takes the nuance out of the situation 

By having Elphaba make a personally selfless choice it really contrasts the selfish choice she’s asking of Glinda.

This metaphor is a little out there so bear with me— what if a vegan asked their meat loving friend to also be a vegan because they both hate the exploitation of animals. Who is more selfish? The vegan asking her friend to do something they would obviously not want to do? Or the friend continuing to eat meat despite hating the exploitation?

There’s no right answer because they both have their justifications and rebuttals!

I don’t believe Glinda’s decision was a wrong one because putting morality over personhood is an objectively difficult decision! Even tough I 100% agree with Elphaba’s decision to fight against the wizard despite being hated for it; i don’t think I could do the same!

Anyways this is super long and sorry I was just so passionate about ur response lol. I really hope you respond to this because I would love to hear your opinions feedback!

I love how inherently selfish both Glinda AND Elphaba are as protagonists. But where one gets praised and admired for it, the other gets demonised and hated.

People always attack Glinda’s decision not to runaway with Elphaba, but no one acknowledges how overtly selfish it is to ask that of someone.

Elphaba is asking Glinda to throw her ENTIRE life away for her. To be ostracised and hated all throughout Oz when she knows full well how badly Glinda cares about what people think of her.

And while Elphaba is used to such ostracisation, Glinda is not.

It is an equally selfish decision refuse Elphaba request. To perpetuate corrupt beliefs you don’t believe; in order to be accepted and validated by people in power.

They’re BOTH in the wrong, for entirely different reasons. It was an impossible situation with no right answer. And I’m sick of people acting like Glinda made the “ wrong choice ”

MASTERLIST

They sat around the table, Simon sat on Y/N’s right and Price on her left. She was drained and didn't have the energy to do this. She looked over at Simon who looked nervous. 

“Do you want me to tell them?”

“No I can do it.” He took a deep breath. “Just tryin to figure out where to start.” 

After taking a moment he looked at Soap, Gaz and Price. When he looked over at Y/N she was biting her thumbnail with a look of deep concern on her face. That’s when he realised that he had been so caught up on how telling the team would affect him and his peace he momentarily forgot that by exposing all of this, she was being put in a place of vulnerability too. 

“I need to tell you a bit of background first and it won’t be short.This farm, our home. It’s Y/N’s family home. She grew up here. Her dad was a military man and growing up all she ever wanted to do was follow in his footsteps. So when she enlisted she worked damn hard to do just that. She ended up with top marks in both her physical and written exams. She excelled and joined an elite Canadian task force. After being with them for a bit she was chosen for the Specialized Snipper Program in the UK, and that’s where we met.” 

He took a moment to look at her to make sure she was ok, and then continued. 

“I was a weird, intense angry loner that was hyper focused on training and being top of the program. She was the only female and had the same goal and intensity. No one spoke to either of us, so we started working together. We challenged each other and would argue over who was better. I wasn’t there to make friends but I started not minding being around her.”

He saw Y/N smile at that and then continued. 

“At Christmas we all got leave and when Y/N found out I had nowhere to go she decided I was coming home with her. She didn’t even ask me, she just walked into my room, handed me a plane ticket and told me to be ready in an hour. Deciding whatever she had planned had to be better than staying on base, I obeyed.” 

He looked up at the guys now. 

“I don’t exactly talk about it but I had a fucked up childhood. Real traumatic shit. So when we got here and the first thing Momma Lynn did was hug me, I uh.. I was shocked. In my experience parents don’t hug. But instead of backing off when she felt my tension she just gave me a quick squeeze and then pulled back, looked in my eyes and gave me a kind smile.”

Y/N reached over and squeezed his hand.  

"Y/N has four sisters so the house was busy and loud.” He chucked at that. “I remember walking into the living room and all the girls were playing a board game at the dining room table and they were bickering and yelling at each other one moment and then next laughing loudly. Her dad was sitting on the couch reading a book. I looked at him and asked him if all the noise bothered him. He looked at me and then the girls and smiled. He said that no it didn’t bother him, in fact it was his favourite sound in the world.”

Y/N reached up and wiped a tear that was rolling down her face. 

“Again I’d never experienced anything like this before. Even on Christmas morning I sat back and watched as they all opened presents for each other, just enjoying the moment. Then Momma Lynn handed me some gifts with a smile. I’d never gotten a Christmas gift before, I just stared at them, and I’ll admit I almost didn’t want to open them, instead I wanted to tuck them away forever, charish them. 

Y/N saw me and sat beside me, she grabbed my hand and squeezed it before encouraging me to open them. I expected something generic like a box of chocolates and some socks but it wouldn’t have mattered what it was, I would’ve loved it regardless. Instead I opened the first gift and it was an artbook and some really nice drawing pencils. Momma Lynn was watching and she explained that Y/N had told them that I like to doodle all the time and that I was really good. 

The next gift I opened was a nice wooden box with my last name etched on the top and inside was a high end gun maintenance kit. When I looked up her dad just looked at me and explained he’d gotten one from his father when he joined up and he’d done the same for Y/N. I actually got a bit emotional and had to pretend like I had to use the washroom so I could gather myself.

It was the best Christmas I had ever had in my life. When we were leaving Momma Lynn took me aside and made me promise to come home with Y/N the next holiday we had leave and of course I agreed. After that, I started wearing the mask, because I had something I cared about.” 

Simon looked up and saw everyone looking at him intently, listening to his every word. 

“For the next year, anytime we got leave I came home with Y/N and by the following Christmas, Momma Lynn and Y/N’s dad sat me down. They told me that they wanted me to be a member of their family. They told me that they thought of me as one of their kids since the first Christmas and they wanted me to feel the same. I actually cried openly for the first time in years. I had a family. They’d even set up a bedroom for me, said I could come and go as I pleased but hoped it was more coming than going. The girls all felt the same and so that was the day I gained a mom, a dad and five sisters. It wasn’t legally done but that didn’t matter to any of us. 

Then something unexpected happened. I fell in love. We both fought it for a long time. I didn’t want to jeopardise what I had and even though it killed me, I refused to risk it. It wasn’t until Mom and dad sat me down one day. They told me that nothing I could ever do would ever change the fact that I was their son. She gave me her grandma’s ring and both gave their blessing. So five years ago, I married Y/N’s sister Ava. Y/N was my ‘best woman’, we had the wedding in the yard and it was the happiest moment of my life. That was until this past April when Ava gave birth to our daughter Clara.” 

He glanced  around the table and saw tears in not only Y/N’s eyes but Soaps as well though he quickly wiped them away.

“Something you should know is Y/N had been asked to join the 141 before I was. Kate had approached her because she’d been doing work for her and knew how good of an agent she was. Then Price approached me. We discussed it and she offered to back out, let me have the team. I wanted to work with her again and knew she deserved a spot on this team though. So I told her if we kept our relationship with each other a secret, if we pretended we didn’t know each other to protect the family then we could be on the same team. She hated the idea of keeping secrets but agreed. 

There are several reasons why I didn’t tell you, and I didn’t let Y/N. The first being that this family, my family, is more important to me than anything in the world and I would die before ever letting anything happen to them. We make a lot of enemies out there and I keep them protected by keeping my mouth shut. The second reason is that when I have this mask on, I’m Ghost. I do what needs to be done and get as dirty as I need too. But when I’m here, the mask comes off and I’m Simon. Sharing that’s hard for me. It’s a trust that I have to build and makes me feel incredibly vulnerable. You’ve only ever seen me as Ghost and I wasn’t ready to share this side of me with you at the time.” 

“Are you ready now?” Soap asked 

“I am. I’d been thinking about it before I found out that we were coming here. Y/N had told me she wanted to tell John the night we blew up the warehouse, before things went to shit. I’d come to the conclusion that it was time.” 

John looked over at Y/N sadly. God he fucked this up. 

“So you and Y/N aren’t married with children.” Gaz confirmed

“No Gaz, we're not married with children. We do love each other though, just in a sibling way instead of romantic way.” Y/N shrugged

“Never said I loved you.” Simon teased beside her 

“You do all the time you softy.” 

“Ok but I still don’t get all the secrecy behind Y/N and her background.” Soap said confused. 

“Well that is another thing I suppose.” Simon looked at Y/N and she nodded. 

He got up and walked over to a painting on the wall, pulled it forward revealing a safe. Typing in the number he opened the safe door and pulled out a file, walked over and placed it on the table. 

Y/N ran her finger over the top of the file and frowned. 

“I know at this point it doesn’t matter much anymore but this is my full file, no holds bar. The reason everything is redacted is because of our dad. Like Simon said, he was a military man. The issue is that he is a very famous man in the military community. His call sign was Phantom 1.” 

“Holy shit, your da is Phantom 1!” Soap exclaimed. 

“I don’t understand, who is Phantom 1?” Gaz asked 

“He was an insanely efficient agent ‘n’ a fuckin amazin sniper. He wis sae weel known in the community that when he died last year, they had tae have two funerals. One fur his folk and one for a' th’ military personnel that wanted tae attend. They even streamed it tae bases a’ over the world. His identity was sae weel hidden that his folk had tae wear veils ‘n’ masks to his funeral! He’s a legend.” 

Soap looked up at Y/N then realised what he just said.

“Oh shit love, I’m sorra.” 

“It’s fine.”

But she felt a lump form in her throat. She looked over at Simon and he squeezed her hand. 

“I’ll take it from here. As Soap said, our da was good at what he did, but with that brought enemies. Hence our super secret, super protected ‘farm’. There are cameras everywhere, the walls behind the hedges have motion and weight sensors, there’s a lock down procedure for the house. It’s how Y/N grew up. So when she joined up they knew that if anyone found out that Y/N was his daughter there was a chance that she would be used as leverage to coax him out of retirement or to just get plain old revenge. So they scrapped any connection to her dad and that included Canada. Hence the redacted file.” 

Y/N looked up at the team and sighed.

“I’m going to ask that even though I’m probably not going to be on the team after this, to protect this information even after I leave? Even though he’s gone we still don’t want this information leaked.” 

“Can we talk about that please Y/N?” John asked 

“Not right now. I’m emotionally and physically exhausted. I also don’t think any of us are in the right mindset at this moment to discuss. So let’s table it for now. I’m 10 feet away from my momma and I just want to get up there.” 

They all nodded and she gave them a soft smile. 

“Si rules?”  

“Yeah ok. I guess now that we’ve explained the situation I’ll get into rules and all that fun stuff. Like any other house, be polite, try and limit swearing especially around the kids.”

“Though they are used to it. Uncle Simon has a potty mouth and has to put a loonie in the jar every time he swears” Y/N added and the group laughed

“They’ll hold you to that too. The money goes to them so they’ll call you out every chance they get. Little buggers.”  

“What ta hell is a loonie?” Soap asked and Simon chucked

“A dollar. It’s a coin. I have a bucket of them in my apartment, remind me to give you some. Anyways it’s a free roam house, the kitchen is open, nothing’s really off limits. The biggest rules are no weapons on person. Don’t worry there are stashes all over the house, we just don’t want the kids seeing a gun peeking out from behind your shirt or god forbid one of them getting their hands on one.”

“How many kids are there here?” Gaz frowned

“Well our sister Charlie has two, a boy named Ky who just turned eighteen and a girl named Meadow who just turned fourteen. Then our sister Brooke has twin girls that are five, Freya and Idun, we call her Edie. Those are the ones you have to watch out for. Then me and Ava have Clara that’s eight months. Y/N and Ems are child free.” 

“And they all live here?” 

“No, but they’ve been told to come here for protection. Ava and I live here. Dad converted two rooms in the basement into a small apartment for us. Y/N lives here too, and has a room in the basement as well. Then Momma Lynn obviously and recently our Grandma moved in so mom could take care of her.”

“Which ones are single?” Soap asked with a smirk 

“Johnny I swear to god if you even look at one of my sisters I’ll rip your dick off.” Simon growled. 

Beside him though Y/N looked at Soap and mouthed Emma and Charlie. Then smiled and winked at him. 

“Alright, the last rule’s the most important. We don’t talk about work. Ever. So no chatting about past missions, injuries, guns, no call signs, none of that. If we need to talk about anything we come down here.”

Everyone nodded in agreement

“So that’s it. We’ll go in the room next door, it has lockers for all of us so anything that doesn’t fit in that standard is put in the locker. Laswell also sent over some stuff for us to make us comfortable and it’s been placed in your locker. Any questions before we call it?” 

Everyone shook their heads and as Simon stood up, Soap and Gaz followed suit and they headed out of the room with the exception of John and Y/N. She picked her file up off the table and held it out to him. 

“You can read it if you want. I’m not hiding anything anymore. All my merit is listed out for you.” 

He looked at the file and then took it from her hand. 

“Y/N, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry for all of it.” 

“I know. Me too. But what’s done is done and even though you’re sorry it doesn’t erase the things you said, or what you’ve done. We’ve got to move forward, it’s just not the way I thought we were going too or how it would look.” 

“Is there anything I can say to fix this? You said you love me and I need to tell you…” 

“John, stop. It’s too late. And anything you say at this point just seems disingenuous. Like you’re only saying what you think I want to hear to fix this. It’s over, we have to accept that.” 

She left the room and John felt his heart break. He placed the file on the table and followed her out of the room.

Nevermore headcanons, since it’s been a while (modern au)

Lenore, Pluto, and Duke all meet up to play Hades every once in a while

Duke’s favourite character is Thanatos, Pluto’s is Hypnos, and Lenore’s is Meg (since she reminds her on Annabel)

Eulalie and Berenice join sometimes, but neither of them have a device compatible for Hades, so they borrow one of the other’s

Eulalie’s favourite book series are tied between Miss Peregrine’s home, and Asylum

Annabel would never admit it, but her favourite band is Siouxsie and The Banshees

Of course, all the misfits also listen to goth music

Lenore likes Bauhaus, Eulalie’s favourite is Blackbriar, Duke likes Joy Division, Berenice likes Robert Smith, Morella *adores* Depeche Mode, and Pluto’s favourite band is The Cure

They can all agree on The Sisters of Mercy. Specifically, First And Last And Always

The group all like watching Descendants movies. Whether it’s genuine, or just to make fun of it varies from person to person

Montresor plays League of Legends

Lenore, Pluto, and Duke all live together, Morella lives with Annabel and Ada (she’s moving out), and Eulalie and Berenice live together

Eulalie’s room is full of old porcelain dolls she finds, and Berenice can’t walk past her door without getting chills

Theo helped Lenore move away from their parents

Theo went to University on a scholarship

All the misfits see Theo as an authority figure that they actually respect

Pluto has a jacket covered in patches from his and his friends favourite bands

The jacket has the lyrics to Boys Don’t Cry painted onto the left forearm

Lenore drew a guitar tab for Silent Hedges onto the back of Pluto’s jacket. He’s become a music stand for her

Lenore plays guitar and violin. The latter was from when she was going through the “I wanna be just like my older sibling” phase

Berenice and Pluto have both bitten people. Only Berenice has drawn blood

Duke is a musical theatre kid

Pluto and Lenore often wake up to Duke singing along to a soundtrack

“AND IM AKING WHY LOORD, IF THIS IS HOW I DIE LOOOORD, WHY BE LEFT WITH NO FAMILY AND NO FRIENDS??”

“DUKE!! It’s 6 am!!! GO BACK TO SLEEP”

Eulalie also does this, but late at night

Sometimes they FaceTime each other to annoy as big of an area at one time as possible

Dolly is sick of Poppet

Because Miss Poppet will stand outside Dolly’s window with a boombox playing some Taylor Swift song

[marchofmistria]

Who is your farmer? How did they end up in Mistria? Were they with the Adventuring Guild?

Meg is a fairly typical girl from the Capital. Fed up with and constricted by her laborious work and her monotonous routine, she searched for a way out of a life she could easily predict. She was never a member of the Adventuring Guild, but began checking the notices posted there daily as soon as she decided she was fed up with her normal everyday. As soon as an offer appeared, she decided that she'd try it for a year, and if she hated it she'd move back to the Capital. She doesn't know a single thing about Mistria before she heads there, but it feels like home as soon as she steps over the bridge.

2. Who do you, the player, like as a character the most? Does this differ from your character’s favourite villager?

My favorite character and the farmer's favorite characters are the same. Meg form a quick friendship with Celine, Reina, and Adeline and view them as her closest friends. She also finds solace in Elsie, who acts like a second mother (or rather, a cool aunt) to the farmer and happily gives her advice on all matters. As for romance, Meg and March feel a spark the first time they meet (even though they both think it's completely unrequited). Meg is a social butterfly and makes friends easily will all the townsfolk.

3. Did your character have any prior farming or ranching knowledge before coming to Mistria? Or adventuring?

Meg had absolutely no prior knowledge in farming or ranching before she came to Mistria. She killed nearly all her houseplants, and the only animal she'd ever cared for was her beloved pet cat. She had to learn everything from scratch, and definitely failed before she began to get a feel for growing plants (in no small part because of Celine's advice). The ranching came a bit more naturally to her, but she definitely also required Hayden's help quite often.

4. What is your character’s favourite way to spend the day? On the other hand, what is your favourite way to spend the day in the game playing?

Meg loves to bring gifts to all of her friends in Mistria. She seems to always miraculously have whatever the townsfolk need and want. She especially loves to spend day in the mines, carry everything she found to the forge (including a gift for March), show off her blacksmithing skills, and then walk with March to the Inn for dinner.

As the player, I love foraging and mining the most. I also always look forward to chatting with all my friends and hearing what they have to say that day.

5. Does your character have any animals on the farm? Who are their favorites?

At this point, Meg has two cows and two chickens (besides the cat she should have brought with her from the Capital). Her kitty is her first born and will always hold a special place in her heart, but she can't pick favorites between her children.

6. What is your character’s take on the magic slowly seeping back into the land of Mistria? Were they familiar with magic prior to this?

Meg was familiar with magic prior to coming to Mistria. She's heard of witches who used it and sold it in the Capital, and always felt jealous of their powers. Who knew that by finding her place in Mistria, she would be able to unlock those powers too? She sees it like her full potential was unlocked when her soul finally found its place in Mistria.

7. When pets come: what sort of pets are you hoping for?

Meg will finally be reunited with her brown and white tabby cat Charlie <3

8. What does your character look like in the game?

Meg is of medium height, thin, and very pale. She burns easily so she's always lathering herself up in sunscreen, but still has a lot of freckles that manage to poke through on her nose and shoulders when she doesn't cover up. She has BIG curly brown hair that reaches down her back, as well as brown eyes. She's social and makes friends easily, but in a quiet kind of way. Easy to get along with, but usually prefers to hang out with a small group of friends rather than in a large crowd.

9. What does their farmhouse look like so far?

So far, Meg is going for a dark academia aesthetic in her house with lots of browns and greens.

10. What does their exterior farmland look like at the moment? Have you set up any special sort of shrine around Caldarus’s statue?

Meg is trying to keep a traditional look on her farm to match the interior of the house. She made sure to make a special place for her to spend time with her close friend Caldarus.

11. Final question: what are you most excited for with future patches?

Marriage!!!

not to be a milennial but harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban really is that bitch....

[oddballtumbles]

I see your point (this is well articulated, well done), and I can't speak for everyone, but in my specific case I prefer WFA because I can read the wiki summaries of the hard stuff and have some context then read the more fluffy stuff. It is also easier to access generally.

I also think you are not recognizing the dark elements that are within WFA. While yes it is comparably far lighter and less intense in a combat/etc. sense, it does deal with trauma. Like regularly shows the characters dealing with their traumas and the support they get from each other.

I like to think that the slice of life stuff that was imagined/hinted at/occasionally shown in the rest of the comics are being shown in WFA, and when you want the harder core stuff then you go back to whatever other comics. (insert both is good meme here)

I would also like to say that the idea of trying to get into any comics that are so long, so entangled, so complex, and so mixed in the level of quality is intimidating to terrifying. And that is not taking into account the difficulty to get applicable good advice for individual interests. Different runs appeal to different people so getting a recommendation from a stranger can be hard, and there can be a lot of pressure from a friend to like the same stuff they do. I'm not even getting into how toxic the fandoms can be.

(And yes that is not every fan, but that is a lot of them and as they scream louder than pretty much everyone else for some people it is safer and healthier to simply not engage.)

As someone who honestly has read varying levels of both and frankly prefers fanfiction and fan content because I prefer lol hilarity; both 'canon' and WFA are fine. It's all a matter of personal preference. My favourite batman movie is Batman & Robin (1997).

Okay I don't dislike Wayne Family Adventurers, in my head I put in the same category as gag manga. (My hero academia smash. Fullmetal alchemist 4 panels. ) It's purposely out of character and meant to cause some quick emotional reaction to the readers.

The issue I have with it.

Is that people have taken it as canon, or refused to read canon cos 'canon is so dark and angsty and sad and they hate seeing the batfam fight all the time'

The batfam are not screaming and arguing every single comic, they regularly team up. I don't know what lies you've been hearing.

But what grinds my gears.

Is they want the characters without their story. I really don't want to sound like gatekeeper but you're missing out on the core of these characters and what makes them who they are and why they are who they are.

Also there's been this lie that DC lore is changing all the time. It's not? There's shifts and retcons but it's not something you can't follow or ask for clarification.

Also the - I want the fluff and no angst- back to the spitting in the face of the characters. I hate to sound like a gatekeeper but you cannot enjoy the batfams joy if you don't see their suffering. Let me explain. In Batman and robin "11 Bruce gets Damian a 9 month old Great Dane. To help Damian open up and bond with his son. Damian is immediately displeased with this creature and later hits him when his snout gets too close to (I believe a chess board- its been awhile) the entire Nobody arc happens and Damian and Bruce start to really understand how much the other wants to try to impress the other and how they do not know how to speak to each other and are both navigating this new life of living together as father and son. When Damian passes out he tells his father the name of the puppy - "Titus" . When their wounds heal weeks later Damian and Bruce are playing fetch outside the Wayne manor with Damian's puppy. A circle has met and Damian and Bruce are becoming father and son.

In WFA Bruce just gets a puppy from a shelter and goes here you go son. And Damian's happy

Now do you understand the point I'm making.

The batfamily are a 80year long story full of angst suffering pain growth. Their souls ripped apart and stitched back together. And you don't have to read every single comic. But to turn around and say ew I just want to read this out of character, incorrect. Stereotyped fanon lies instead of the actual real soul of their comics. It's rather upsetting

WFA isn't bad but canon is absolutely beautiful and saying you prefer WFA to canon just fucking hurts
