#what chaos will they reign?

[hoama-au]

"Daphne? Is that you?" Fred can't help but hope. So he calls out.

It's been so long since he's talked to... Anyone really.

A scream.

And Fred finds himself waking up on the floor, tied up. Just what he'd come to expect from her after she started learning self defence.

"It really is you! It's me Fred!"

"Can you prove it?" She asks, voice cautious.

He cranes his neck awkwardly to look at her with eyes so different.

She looks like she's been through a lot, and really.

Fred has wanted to do this for a long time.

"I've designed so many cool new traps to make hunting easier and to keep animals from digging around where I've been staying! Let me tell you all about them-"

She lets him go on for hours.

As he talks, and continues to talk, her shoulders relax.

He doesn't even notice when she unties him until after he waves his arms in emphasis, long after he sat himself up.

"And- you untied me?"

"I did that about 2 hours ago Freddie."

"Oh. I'm just glad you're you."

"Me too, Fred. But... We need to talk."

"Yeah. Yeah we do."

"Wanna see if we can find the others after this? Things have really changed, but if you still have the Mystery Machine we can get anywhere."

"I made it solar powered even before that explosion, Daph."

"That's so you, Freddie."

continuing to rotate margaret houlihan in my head (it will continue), and today's observation is that she NEEDS structure, and becomes a holy terror when she's trying to create it herself. not to always be comparing my faves to dogs (affectionate) but she's an Experienced Handlers Only working dog, and under henry's "let's just all be cool" style of leadership, she gets nervy and starts biting people. she's constantly going over his head because he's not giving orders The Right Way. she can't let it slide when hawkeye and trapper aren't toeing the line, even though it'll only bring her grief. she bullies her staff over minor infractions, and it's not even effective!! because while they're in henry's office crying about her harsh methods, she's also in there complaining that she can't control them.

then potter shows up, and her behavior changes. the second he calls her to attention, her objection to her and frank losing power disappears. she's not chaining nurses to their beds anymore. she appeals to him when she disagrees in deluge, but there's no threat that she'll do an end run around him, which used to be her go-to move. she even relaxes long enough to join in the jeep fun for a minute (even though it's "beneath her" as an officer), and enjoys it! she's not nice, her personality hasn't changed, but it's all bark. she's content to have a solid place in the pecking order and is no longer fueling chaos by frantically trying to control it.

New Sole Survivor: Marta Tkachuk- from part of the Canadian resistance who wound up in Boston with an American veteran sympathetic to their cause. The veteran had to retire from military because his brother & sister in law died in a car crash and left him a baby nephew to take care of. Boston was deemed an inconspicuous place to get information to pass along from, so win win they play house pretending to be a happy couple with their new baby and Tkachuk gets info to send to the resistance >:)

Can someone tell me what gtn/The Locked Tomb series is actually about? Unfortunately when people recommend it they often just say "lesbians necromancers in space" and that just ain't enough,,, but I see it all over my dash and I'm curious 👀

Entropy - [JUDGMENT] - What was an epiphany/awakening they recently had? Did they realize something that they've been naive to? Did they discover something about themselves? What happened?

Major Arcana Questions | Accepting

The awakening that Entropy specifically had was about the reason for its existence. This is not speaking of Chaos specifically, instead speaking about the depersonalized vessel that holds it. Recently, it began to understand its own creation, what exactly led to the creation of Chaos and itself as a whole.

It was created out of nothing, and so sought to become something. Yet the something that it became was reviled and hated, due to something it had become without the sense to know what it did was wrong. So, it believes the gods themselves were selfish. That only they were allowed to make mistakes and learn and grow. So it grew in hate, and its hate fed off that of others.

It believes so deeply that it was the gods themselves that made Chaos the way that it was. So that is why the vessel has begun to believe that the only way is to destroy it all and begin again. A clean slate for the universe itself... And yet, such thinking is naive, something that the vessel does not understand. That when all ceases to exist, there will be nothing left to make it return...

Absolutely fascinated by the Fairy Walrus Discourse. Naturally, I have a take:

This actually is also a fantastic illustration of a truism about Telling Stories that we all implicitly know but rarely acknowledge aloud: the improbable is far less believable than the impossible.

When you invoke the impossible, you silence the critically thinking, reality checking, lie detecting circuitry. Simpler rules reign supreme.

The Walrus, however implausible, is a thing which is real, and so whatever narrative you imagine either precedes or follows the reveal will be constrained by the envelope of the possible.

This is a webbed site all about Narrative.

The person answering the door to a Fairy is in a fairy tale, and frankly most of us would be overjoyed to find ourselves in a fairy tale. Fairy tales have sensible rules, structures we understand, tropes we love and hate.

A Walrus on your doorstep is just one more giant reminder that the world is a maelstrom of chaos, incomprehensible in its complexity, full of moving parts which obey no narrative. It’s another dose of “what fresh hell is this?”

A Walrus on your doorstep is a burden. A Fairy on your doorstep is an escape.
