#tv world bullshit

[angstics]

my mcr fears are so dumb but they keep me up at night. what if they get an insane pop producer. what if they talk to the media and the media misrepresent public + fan attitudes. what if someone utters the nothing-phrase "nonbinary vibes" to them. gosh

[marry-me-malfoy]

"My uncle is a challenge I welcome...If he dares face me."

You fucking donkey, you have no idea how much I can't wait for your to have face to face pointed challenge. That is the only thing I can't wait to see out of this disaster show.

What happens to America in the Tudor Triad au? Do the English send colonists during the restorationist era?

So the fact that a bunch of rogue proto restorationists attempt to colonise what we call North America, fail badly and come home to be jailed is actually what kicks off the English Civil War.

Now a lot of what happens in America is not my story to tell (or at least not without a lot lot more research and even then) or is something I need to make excited gestures at @lemonsharks again one day but so much of the OT3 verse was about what if in this kindest possible world there wasn’t colonisation/those who tried failed and got actual consequences. What if the world gives us a chance to see what it would be like, not because of Saviourism Nonsense.

(It’s worth noting this isn’t entirely unrealistic - there were people who were horrified at the time, a victory is never guaranteed etc but as a biracial jewish woman I wanted to lean into it).

(So people get kicked out of South America etc but also they pay reparations. There are consequences (Jail For Cortez Jail For A Thousand Years for example))

(I don’t know if I’m explaining very well but it’s very much there in the back of my mind as something profoundly different because it was something I wanted).

thinking abt yosuke's shadow again. how post-izanami's reveal that tv world shadows are affected by other's perceptions of you must have made him feel... not only bc he hated inaba since he was forced to move there and it's boring and isolating, but also bc it's not some 'secret'... those weren't just some private thoughts/ruminations. that's how other people saw(/still see?) him. some egotistical, better-than-you-hicks asshole just waiting to step on others to have some fun and get his way.... man. what the hell. no wonder he hates himself.

the body, the mind, the heart, and the breath of Kur (The Secret Saturdays fanon)

hey you know that Artifact that Argost couped and killed a King of Kumari Kandem for? The Amulet with the Breath of Kur that was just used for unlocking the Tomb of Kur and nothing else?

...I'm gonna weave so much headcanon Lore about that.

Spoilers for the two major plot twists of the Secret Saturdays.

TL;DR Kur was split into several pieces. The Breath, which was an attempt to Kill Kur that didn't completely work. Then the Sumerians and Lemurians making a plan to actually separate and destroy Kur, splitting them into parts; The Body, aka Big Red that was buried in Antarctica, the Mind, that the Lemurians took to the Himalayas, And finally the Heart in the Kur Stone.

First Kur was an immortal God that created and controlled the cryptids. It's not clear what Kur was actually like, if he was unfair or just acting as a warrior king would. But some cryptids and humanity rebelled; they tried to steal the Breath of Kur and store it in an Amulet. So he'd stop breathing and die, or would have to negotiate for his own ability to breathe and talk back. The first body of Kur dies. People think that Kur is really dead and start to prepare a tomb.

But you don't kill Gods that easily. Kur is now a spirit that latches on to his cryptid progeny, controlling their bodies and minds, hopping around to whoever he can. Kur is pissed and decides. "Fine. You think I'm bad? I'll be bad." And gathers enough resources and energy to make a large cryptid to lay waste to the people that killed him. It's about this time that the Kur Detector artifact is created - to find Kur with whatever body he was in.

The Big Red cryptid is created, and Kur digs himself fully in, not expecting anyone to want to fight him.

So. Of course they fought. Of course they split Kur from his new body, and decided to seal Kur's spirit into a funerary tablet to bury in his Tomb, aka the Kur Stone.

Kur, of course, is still very manipulative and convinces some arrogant Lemurians to keep him closer in their Himalayan mountain range city. They split Kur again. Kur's mind is hidden in burial jewelry - a clunky necklace that "didn't fit his style".

The plan changes. The Tombkeepers believe that Kur has finally gone mad from defeat, only acting on instinct and is incapable of being reasoned with. They don't know the mind was removed, and now all that's left is just the core of Kur. The Heart.

To prevent anyone from taking control of their insane God, they layer the Tomb with traps and security measures, then use Kur's madness to scatter the keys beyond where any one person could travel in one lifetime.

Kur is just chilling at this point, every so often checking on his cryptid kids. He can't directly communicate or influence them unless they touch the jewelry, but it's fine. It's peaceful, no one prays to him, expects any favors or demands power.

Hundreds of years pass. The Lemurians either decline on their own or Kur stirs the pot, probably both.

Argost, being a Yeti of the Himalayas, and bored as hell even with killing people and taking their stuff, goes exploring. He finds the Lemurian ruins and the necklace.

Kur doesn't explain that he's Cryptid God, just that he's an ancient spirit who's seen the rise and fall of Kur. Kur imparts wisdom; mostly his knowledge of bug cryptids, trying to bait Argost into getting a Devonian annelid to swap into a better piece of jewelry - the Blue Tiger just received some gorgeous jade hair pins and he's feeling jealous.

Argost goes for a hunt, but can't enjoy it because Kur could control him - Argost wants to be the one in control. So he asks the spirit for a mask that could block Kur's senses - prevent cryptids and humans from seeing him as a Yeti. Then the jewelry is tucked away in Argost's cave. Argost uses his Cryptid Bug knowledge to make prosthetic scorpion legs for Baron Finster.

The Kur Stone is dug up. Kur's mind does register it as a large wave of energy coursing through his cryptid kids. Zak absorbed the Heart of Kur, being an empty body with no mind yet. Kur's Heart is entrenched in Zak and to remove the Heart would kill Zak.

Events of the show happen. Kur's mind can see when Zak draws on his powers, but any kind of thoughts are blocked to him - this changes slightly after "Ghost in the Machine" where Zak was mixed and split with Fisk and Komodo. Kur's mind also influenced Fiskerton to pick Antarctica, where Big Red was buried.

Because Big Red was the Created Body that Kur used, the energy was hanging around and Zak absorbed it, boosting his powers. Kur's mind can see more of what's going on, and influenced Zak in the 2nd season premiere. Kur said they were in Hong Kong. The Nagas were actually in New York. And there's not much Kur's mind can do about the War of the Cryptids.

...now if, post series if someone were to go through Argost's cave...and Zak happened to touch that burial necklace...that would be fun.

Ok, so because I'm still playing ZZZ to just see if there's any merit to the YouTubers who have backtracked to now say it's a good game, I'm playing 30 mins to an hour a day and I'm running around in the story with Belobog. And yall. Grace is so fun in combat. If I don't get her soon I'm uninstalling because I want her so badly as a unit lol

Thinking about how I’ve been to Pandora in Disney three times and all of them were before I cared about Avatar. Is this not the biggest crime? There’s pictures of my ass there loving how cool everything is all lit up, riding fucking Flight of Passage without any understanding at all of what was going on just “ooh, fun, we’re on a dragon!” 

The last time I was there was last fucking summer. I was there for ten days. I didn’t even go on the Na’vi River Ride (I had been before but not for years) once because I wanted to ride Everest again and I didn’t fEEL LIKE WALKING BACK. I cry looking at my pictures of me eating at Satu’li Canteen simply not appreciating how fucking cool it is. I DIDN’T EVEN GET A DRINK AT PONGU PONGU BECAUSE I WAS SAVING MY ALCOHOLIC DRINK FOR THE DAY FOR BLUE MILK AT GALAXY’S EDGE (which tbh I did enjoy immensely bc I also love Star Wars) BUT STILL. Next time I go I’m gonna be foaming at the mouth my family are all gonna avoid me like the plague dude.

Somehow one of my old high school notebooks ended up at goodwill and not only did someone buy it, but they found my phone number and texted me 😬😬😬 which is… not cool, but also they turned out to be nice, so whatever, I guess

[tulsa24]

book percy was always this character who i thought was the coolest & who i experienced comphet for (& i still do.) tv percy, on the other hand, is this rightfully fed up kid who i adopted & is now my son.

[despair-ninja-everything-agency]

I'm so fucking tired. I wanna vent but Idk where to output it. So fuck it, just this once, Imma get political and bring real life issue to fandom spaces.

I wish the Warrior of Light is real.

They liberated 2 nations under oppression of a tyrannical Empire and yet here we stand, at the other end of the screen, as a Nation mercilessly laid waste to the ground for God knows how long as World leaders keep their silence and smallfolks are powerless to help but by some donations - that is if they managed to reach them - and a few brave souls who lend their aids to them even if it cost them their lives (and it did. It still is 'till now.)

Fuck Israel. I always scrutinizing their occupation in Palestine ever since I was a kid and still now. I was powerless then, and now - barely knowing the world of having a job - all I could offer is a few donations (if I could find links to them) and some prayers.

Expect reblogs pretaining this issue in the near future. You can block 'DN gets serious' if you don't want them to appear in your dash. I'm not gonna guilt trip you from wanting to avoid irl stuffs.

[hopexhappiness]

Extremely niche audience for this observation but it appears that Kenneth Choi has become for the 9-1-1 fandom what Jen Beattie and Ruesha Littlejohn are for Arsenal WFC fans

[sage-nebula]

Persona 4 is feeling a bit slow and boring so far in comparison to Persona 3, which is a bit weird considering they jump in with the murder mystery stuff pretty immediately. But it just feels like cutscene after cutscene without much opportunity to actually explore or do much, so . . . hopefully it'll pick up soon.

[snail-speed]

just saw that picture of the new SEP textbooks that include that dumbfuck insult our president uses against pretty much anyone opposing his regime expecting the student to also use it in the same manner 😬

the textbooks thankfully got edited before being distributed but holy shit the propaganda is fucking relentless sometimes. nobody bothers to look under the hood of this regime because "le epic latin american communism poggers" and because apparently no fucking person outside of Mexico with an opinion on us can be bothered to learn Spanish and talk to us

[knifegremliin]

arghhhhh stuck in the perpetual loop of feeling like shit bc i'm not eating but not eating because i feel too shitty
