#this is the vision for season three

[bohemian-nights]

I hope Nettles and Daemon fuck in every HUMANLY (because of course Nettles’s not even a fucking human anymore in their minds) possible position. I hope every time they share a scene they are furiously fucking. I hope Daemon is so head over fucking hills in love with Nettles he’s doing straight up stupid shit to win her affection.

Yesss!!! We need this energy. I need to see the same energy/chemistry we got from Charlotte and George all up and down Maidenpool. In the tub, in their bed, against a wall, on a desk, etc. Everywhere. Every way. In every moment they are on screen together Daemon needs to worship his Netty 🙌🏽

[gnnosis]

anyone else feeling real split on how the finale’s gonna go

[spiderziege]

I’d love to see your take on VintageBeef’s Three Fox Hole build

Your art is awesome!

i kinda gave up on this midway through sorry,,

[myckicade]

This might be my next unpopular opinion, but I'm actually relieved to read that Season Three would be the final season of OFMD. It means that the story will be told, and not left to linger. I respect the hell out of that. Too many shows go on, and on, and on... Sure, we'd love to think that our favorites will keep going. But I would rather a good series be wrapped-up properly, than to carry on needlessly.

Now, to focus on getting this sucker to Season Three. Cheers! <3 !

P.S. Yes, I'm completely serious. There is nothing worse in fandom than watching yours jump the damned shark.

[pureseasalt]

me personally i take anything as a win. the future is bright and the sky's the limit. today, a sydcarmy slow burn miscommunication angst fest. tomorrow, a sydcarmy pussy eating episode. the universe has set out its plans and it wants first and foremost for me to be happy

[gelarshiesprofruitboarder]

i dont fucking know whats happening at this point

[clowneryandshenanegans]

Honestly what we should do is just make an animated series where we take every idea people have for remaking the Minecraft movie and have little bits of Steve and Alex getting into some shenanigans throughout the way

The God of Stories and the Nowhere Man

A Post-Canon look at the characters if Loki

In the years (weeks? decades? seconds?) after the birth of Yggdrasil, there was no mention of the TVA in any part of history. Such has always been the case. The TVA prides itself on anonymity and secrecy, almost as much as it values bureaucracy.

The same cannot be said of some of the figures involved.

———

Also majorly fuck Disney corporation for funding genocide. Go here to support humanitarian aid for Palestine.

B15 has a seat in the war room, defending Loki’s branches against the coming storm. Incredibly skilled tactician, yet humble enough to seek counsel from others, it isn’t long before she’s the de facto head of their little council. She insists that no one stand on ceremony though.

Casey, for his part, finally decided to look into his past. Reading history pages and conspiracy theories about his sacred timeline self is a little unnerving, but also very cool. In his branch he was Frank Morris, a criminal mastermind and an incredible escape artist. He’s always been a desk worker, but even if he never does any field work, he’s gained the confidence to become a proper analyst, a spiritual successor to Mobius.

O.B is recursive as always, but after finally leaving his basement level room, he came up with some improvements to the TVA headquarters. Their tech is now more reliable, their processes more streamlined and efficient, and the wifi has never been faster. He publishes the second edition of the TVA handbook. Victor Timely works well with him, and also suggests that they make better temporal radiation suits, even if they hopefully won’t have to use them anytime soon.

Most of the hunters still haven’t read the new guide, but Casey finally works up the courage to ask for an autograph. O.B writes his phone number as well. Of course, neither of them actually have phones, O.B was trying to be romantic, but the gesture goes over Casey’s head for a bit. Eventually they figure it out. O.B takes him to a bookstore.

Brad is left to go back to his own version of the timeline, but it’s bittersweet. He can’t forget the faces of the people who were depending on him in that cube. Can’t help thinking that it should’ve been him in there, not Dox. They all still exist somewhere on the timeline, but it’s not the same. They’re not coming back in a way that matters. When he goes back to being an actor he uses as much money as he can on humanitarian aid and charitable donations. It doesn’t erase the screams, but they get quieter.

Ravonna is lost at the end of time, and constantly on the run from various Lokis that she pruned a long time ago. Alioth never hurts her though. Even though she stood before it, choosing death instead of a life constantly on the run, it passed over her like a normal mist. In her heart she knows it’s Loki. She thinks he’s being vindictive by letting her survive. Eventually she’ll learn that he’s being gracious, allowing her the chance to change. She reminds him so much of himself sometimes.

Sylvie works at the McDonald’s, and it doesn’t pay much, but she never cares about it. What she wants she can summon or enchant someone into getting it for her, and what she doesn’t want she just doesn’t bother with, because she doesn’t have to anymore. She doesn’t have to do anything she doesn’t want to do ever again. She smiles. Maybe she’ll go on a date or something. Maybe she’ll go on vacation just for the Hel of it. There’s something so beautifully divine in being a creature of habit, a goddess of chaos finally settled, like a puzzle piece rattling into place. Privately, she calls herself the goddess of freedom.

All of them find their places, and make names for themselves, but their stories do not reach far, by intention. They are little things, twining with the rest of the branches.

There are two that find themselves in many branches; The God of Stories, and the Nowhere Man.

The god of stories is an ornate title, and a little dramatic. It’s accurate though. He weaves the lives of many into new branches, shifting with each misplaced footprint. The sheer multitude of the branches is their protection; The Conqueror won’t find them if he doesn’t know where to look.

This weaving has consequences though. One of the branches Loki touches is near the genesis of his own people. Heimdall is there, and he sees the tree, and its branches, and all the nine realms. It bothers him that he cannot see into the center, but alas, some things are beyond even his sight. He knows someone is there, though, and the legend grows in Asgard of the one who sits in the world tree, spinning the threads of fate into stories. Over time, the legend turns into the three frost giantesses known as the Norns.

And he is not idle in his throne either. At length he discovers that he can leave his seat at the center of the tree, but it’s dangerous to do so. His power is tied to the tree, and without him it begins to wilt again. It’s a while before he can leave it for more than a few seconds.

He manages though, and even while separated from the tree he can reach into the fabric of the branches he travels, unwinding them and twisting them as he sees fit. Legends arise around New Asgard that the brother of Thor has returned, with an unknown power in his hands. SWORD looks into it, but they find nothing out of the ordinary. Darcy looks into it and finally meets Thor’s brother. She slaps him, like Jane Foster once did, but she grows to like him eventually. They bond over a shared love of snakes.

And he doesn’t always appear as…himself. Sometimes the god of stories is herself, or theirself. They’ve appeared as a snake, a wolf, and once as a horse, but that story doesn’t need to be elaborated on. The snake is most common though, and some begin to call him Jormungandr. The world serpent.

Eventually Steven Strange takes an interest in whoever has been crawling through the multiverse. Loki drops him in a perpetual fall for an hour, and Strange decides it’s none of his damn business.

Legends of these types have echoing similarities. Solitude is their main theme, occasionally countered by the figure of the nowhere man.

Some stories say he’s the only one who dares to stand against the god of stories. His fate is his own after all, because he exists in no time at all. No story to twist, no time to pause, a Mobius, with no end and no beginning. Once they learn of him, they decide that he must surely be the greatest adversary of Jormungandr. Loki, for his part, finds it absolutely hilarious.

Other types of stories do crop up, though. The nowhere man walks among the people, and can erase your fate with a mere touch. Relentlessly the Norns pursue him. Some say it’s because the god of stories wishes to have his fate pulled away from him, like stars into the void. Some say it’s because Jormungandr craves total authority, and only when he consumes the nowhere man will he be sated. Some even say that they’re partners, companions, a yin and yang of sorts. They say that without one, the other would fall to ruin. This version of the tale emerged after too many instances of someone threatening Mobius where Loki could hear them (and if they’re on one of his branches he can always hear them loud and clear).

The Nowhere Man is a being of pure chaos. The God of Stories is order incarnate. The two of them cackle about the reversal of their roles, as they walk the branches of Yggdrasil. They laugh together often these days, and these days are now all the days, for all time. Always.

I’m just going to say it. Keep Miss Minutes away from their variants!

She’s giving Ultron vibes, but more disturbing.

[raayllum]

can't remember if i've actually written this down this specifically before so two main avenues (in my mind) as to how s6 may go plot wise

#1) Callum's identity, Rayla's sacrificial refusal, and no CHET aka Initial Choice + Destruction and then Salvation

Callum does dangerous, magical things (star magic? dark magic? both?) to get the moon fam and Kpp'Ar out of the coins in order to spare Rayla the sacrifice of the ritual and/or living without them. This leads to him being possessed (and eventually freeing Aaravos?). Either before or after the release, despite being urged by Runaan to fulfil what Callum asked her to do - and Rayla considering it - she refuses to sacrifice Callum and saves him in turn by reaffirming his identity. This fulfils his 'dark path' arc as well as her arc about sacrifice. This is a tighter, shorter arc overall, which may be more plausible in a 9 episode season, but it may be harder to justify the Moon Fam's release to the audience since some people are - understandably - going to be upset with Runaan and Ezran will already ward against or put his foot down about Runaan being freed even without this level of consequence.

#2) Rayla continues being self sacrificial, CHET aka Post-Possession Choice + Salvation and then Destruction

This one is more similar to the above - although it could have Callum being possessed more randomly (also might let Kpp'Ar and his possible Aaravos knowledge factor in more?) - wherein Callum frees the moon fam, but is independently possessed, and Rayla still saves him. However, this angle has her take a route of "I'll save him because it doesn't matter what happens to me in the process," hence leaving her open to be injured/needing to be saved once she breaks him out. Then Callum fulfils Aaravos' plans to save her (healing an injury, hostage cube or something else exchange, etc) and/or Ezran. This would fulfil his 'dark arc' and technically a smidge more agency (rather than what he did to help Aaravos being more hand waved as "you literally had no control"). This arc is longer and provides an avenue for the broyals to make up as well if they had a fight earlier on in the season if they team up to get Rayla. It also resolves her sacrifice arc by having it reaffirmed that the people who love her won't let her sacrifice herself anymore.

Subset: Ezran CHET variant

Have discussed this one before but now with extra caveats since we know the broyals are likely going to be having argument(s) next season:

Callum is possessed (regardless of coins or otherwise). Rayla resolves her sacrifice arc, like in Avenue #1, by refusing to sacrifice him and breaks him free before he can ultimately fulfil Aaravos' wishes. In the chaos, Ez is taken/injured, and Callum does whatever is required to save his baby brother (levels of irony being the Orphan Queen's connection with the cube perhaps, or that Viren wasn't willing to legitimately do anything to save Harrow, but Callum is for his king-brother). The brothers reconcile.
