Bonus 13: Beware the Grapes of Wrath.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #wen qing #wen ning #WWX's main weapon as the Yiling patriarch is considered to be 'Wen Ning' - which makes sense as far as the whole necromancer thing goes.#However...That *is* Wen Qing's beloved baby brother!#In her perspective WWX skipped town for a few days (or so) and took WN with him #only for them both to show up bloodied and in a state of disarray.#There's no way he told her he was going out to duel Jiang Cheng. For several reasons.#He doesn't want to involve her in his messes anymore than he already has.#It's less that she would try and stop him and more so that he honestly wouldn't even think to say something about it to her.#WQ and him aren't partners in this situation. He actually openly disregards her opinions several times.#Wei Wuxian's emotional distance from everyone around him is a big part of this arc.#Like all good tragedies...his biggest flaw is his hubris. He doesn't *need* anyone when he's so capable on his own.#He doesn't need to ask permission when obviously this is the only way forwards.#He has to do it all on his own! No one else needs to be involved!#And if you've been in the position of realizing you have a problem of toxic self-reliance - you know how harmful this mindset is.#It's why it's so satisfying to see WWX in his 'new' life start to let other's share his burdens.#I will die on the hill of 'love means carrying each other's weight. All a burden means is that I can give you support and you support me.'#YLLZ is less 'competent and sexy' and more 'depressed and can't see it'.#Another lovely nod to the main theme here is how he starts leaning more and more into the rumours about him.#Though we are also still confronted with how these rumours fail to actually live up to reality.#Rumour has it the Yiling Patriarch is undefeatable. What a shame if that rumour turned out to be untrue!

The Tournament

Trigger Warning for Violence

So you know how Danny is portrayed as the ghost king automatically after Pariah is defeated? What if there was more too it. Let’s say that Danny has joined a new hero team and is having fun and then there is some kind of ripple in the infinite realms that all magic users can feel. A tournament is being held to choose the new king. The reason it wasn’t held immediately upon Pariah’s defeat is because it took some time to get into contact with all the participants. Anyone eligible can attend the tournament. This includes those with royal blood, other ancients, anyone who meets a certain power level, anyone that have their own kingdom and people to rule over, or those who faught and sealed Pariah in the first place. Aka, Danny and Vlad. So Danny gets an invite to the tournament.

Now this can go two ways. One is that those ‘invited’ are obligated to attend. Like their core physically hurts if they try to refuse. And the tournament is dangerous. Creatures and demons and eldritch horrors from all over the infinite realms are attending.

Second option. The tournament is optional because it is very cut throat and usually a battle to the death (or in this case, until someone’s core is shattered) and with ghosts being able to survive a lot, the battles often end with missing limbs, spines ripped out, impailment, decapitation, and disembowelment to name a few. So many refuse to participate, not wanting to risk ceasing to exist. The problem though is that a dangerous person is participating (could be Vlad, could be another demonic villain of the JL) and unless they want this person to gain unlimited power through the crown and ring plus an army of undead, Danny has to participate. Or the world is doomed. And each time Danny goes through a trial or battle, (because there could be both.) he returns to the hero group with injures that would have killed a normal person. Practically drenched in his own ecto blood. (That’s if the heroes weren’t forced to watch their friend mid battle, unable to interfere. Man. That would suck if they had to watch his spine get ripped out or something. The screams alone. Maybe split the group so Danny can only bring a certain number of ‘guests’ and they rotate who goes?) And like, imagine what kind of conversation Danny would have. His team panicking about the impending threat of the new ghost king and Dany having to reveal that he is eligible to participate (if some outside force doesn’t reveal it for him) and being forced to compete in a tournament where you either die, or become a murderer.

#Dpxdc #dcxdp #Kizzer55555 ideas #TW warning for blood and violence #Imagine the heroes forcibly having to hold themselves back or hold eachother back because if they interfere then Phantom is dead. For good.#There is no good option.#I think some enemies might be able to surrender but surrendering could have a cost #like maybe eternal servitude binding their core to the winner so they physically can’t refuse orders?#So many would rather fight to the death than give in and essentially become soneone’s slave.#OOOOOHHHH. What if that’s how Pariah got his skeleton army? Those are all his previous competitors who surrendered.#It’s just that he didn’t let them keep their personalities. (Which is something you can do in a core binding slave contract).#That’s why many prefer death.#To have absolute control over someone to be able to strip them of their free will and use their body like a puppet is terrifying.#And even if you lose against so someone who wouldn’t abuse that power #if THEY lose then the soul contract automatically transfers to the new owner. Whether or not the previous owner chose to die.#Poor Danny is gonna be like CHUGGING ecto dejecto just to be able to healed enough for each new round.#Is that healthy? Absolutely not. It’s like living off of monster energy drinks and ibeprophen.#But what choice does he have?#The heroes are very worried about Phantom.#I see the ending as some sort of massive showdown between Phantom and Plasmius #where Danny is barely alive and forced to shatter Vlad’s core to survive. The crowd is cheering #but Danny is practically drowning in his own blood and holding his organs from falling out. Using a spear to hold himself up.#And amidst the cheering. Covered in his own blood and the blood of his enemy. Haunched over himself. He screams.

y’all i cannot stop fucking thinking about it. will with his big blue eyes, youngest of them all, completely musically untalented and rhythmically challenged but by the gods does he understand the human body. following lee around holding his quiver and rattling off whatever he just learned from watching michael in the infirmary. doted on by his big siblings. talking for hours about a galaxy far far away with heroes who choose to save the world, aren’t forced to, hey, they’re heroes, just like you, lee! and his siblings have dreams, they know the prophecies, they look at their little brother and they know he will be alone. they don’t know why or how yet but they can feel in their very soul that he will be out in the stupid world with all its hatred and violence and he will have to defend himself. and he can’t shoot straight and he cries when he hurts someone in training, and all he wants to do is help, and he doesn’t understand that people can be cruel and they will take his kindness and bleed him dry. and a war is coming. they can feel it. do you think they would be desperate? for themselves as much as will? i don’t know how long i will live. i don’t know how long i have left. but you will be there, son of phoebus. i know you will. remember me, okay? remember how i loved you. remember how we loved each other, remember how we healed and fought and cared. please. please, will, remember us. and remember how we loved you.

#I AM FUCKING SOBBING ON THE GROUND #WHY DID I WRITE THAT 😭😭😭😭😭 WHY DID I OPEN THE CAN OF WORMS #all i can think of is lee!!#with his brothers and sisters and his gift of prophecy!!!#KNOWING he is going to die!!!!#knowing will is the only one who is going to survive!!!!#what do you do with that!!!#how do you deal with that!!!!#how do you put armour around his heart???#how do you protect him when you know you won’t be there #when you know he’ll have NOBODY???#HOW?????? HOW DO YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF #WITH THE GODS????#and knowing how he finally goes…..#do you think it haunts him in elysium #or do you think for once the gods we merciful #and let him die before he saw the look in wills eyes #as he cradled the pieces of his skull #and sobbed #and sobbed and sobbed and sobbed #gods help me.#will solace #lee fletcher #will solace & lee fletcher #will solace angst

what's so interesting is that agatha and nicky clearly had their cons well-oiled, and at the end it seems they even started turning their song into a part of it as well, like i don't think that was the first time nicky sang that song for an audience and they used it to lure witches (i do think it's the first time that it /technically/ didn't work), and how after nicky died it continued to gain popularity and be so well-known it became a legend, and along with that agatha being known as the only survivor of the road and people (like billy) seeking her out to walk it or just for knowledge of it. and i think that had been the idea when they first started using it as a con. making it so they no longer had to travel and scavenge, using it as a lure to bring the witches to them in order to keep nicky alive, but only one small misstep and rio got him anyway

and then thinking about how lorna, who had a generational curse placed upon her family that is going to kill both her and her daughter and who desperately wants to see her daughter survive, heard this song and created her own version to use as a protection spell for her daughter and, like agatha did before her, she made her version so well-known and so popular that years and years after death it's still protecting her daughter, until ultimately her daughter was finally able to use it to break the curse and save herself

idk just.. they're like two sides of the same coin, or distorted mirrors of each other

agathas love was so powerful and so strong that death gave nicky time

lornas love was so powerful and so strong that the ballad gave alice time and even freed her

if nicky hadnt been taken that night, could it have eventually freed him as well? rio said agatha used the dark magic of the darkhold to hide herself from rio, so was that the end goal? they'd continue to lure witches to both keep nicky alive and to have agatha become powerful enough to forever keep them hidden?

#agatha all along #aaa spoilers #agatha harkness #nicholas scratch #alice wu gulliver #lorna wu #txt #me before the finale: and i'll save this song to use the lyrics to make gifsets of agatha x rio since i'll finally have more scenes to use #me after the finale: lorna/alice and agatha/nicholas parallels let's goooo #and there's something so poetic about how alice died too #like the song worked for her in ways it could never have worked for nicky #the song saved her like it never could nicky and like it was supposed to for nicky #and ultimately she dies the same as all the witches who had been drained to keep nicky living #do you think instead of just a loss of control agathas grief and bitterness chose to take from alice #because why should what was meant to save nicky save her instead?#i wonder if that moment when she watches it fizzle does she think of lorna?#does hearing nicky's voice allow her to see the similarities from a different perspective instead of through her grief #through her love of her son and connect it to lorna's love of her daughter? their struggle was the same for as much as it was different #idk it's just... agatha was planning to drain them from the start #why was /this/ one different. why did she have that look on her face after #especially after being confronted with her own mother who would have seen her die

temple is an unreliable narrator and is more at fault for biff’s death than he lets on/remembers: juicy. delicious. tragic. what’s the truth? does anyone even remember? how much blame falls on carolina? how much on temple? how much on biff? everyone has a different version of events and they’re all conflicting and no one knows what really happened except that biff ended up dead and temple can never, ever let that go.

temple is an unreliable narrator and is completely at fault for biff’s death and carolina had nothing to do with it: okay well you’ve made it even more boring than canon

#mark temple #rvb #i don’t know how many ppl still have ‘temple killed biff’ theories but tumblr kept showing me some old ones after looking through temple tag #and i’m just. temple killing biff and then blaming the freelancers is so borrrinnnnnggggg you just made him a crazy person #he’s gotta have motives. he’s gotta have a motive that makes you understand why he did this.#you gotta see the vision #it’s also very… i don’t know it feels very like. scrubbing down carolina’s edges?#the fact that carolina would be willing to kill/let sim troopers die is like. that’s a part of her character #that’s a part of ALL the freelancer’s characters #like obviously temple becoming a serial killer with a murder basement is fucked up and not a equivalent retribution #but also. like. i can guarantee you every freelancer in that room took a biff away from a temple.#killing sim troopers was just part of the job #making carolina have no culpability just weakens it soooooo much like. like you’re not actually cleaning her character at all #she definitely killed other sim troopers!#we see her! on screen! killing a bunch of guards who are literally just. doing their job. like they’re essentially civilians.#carolina was complicit in a system that resulted in many innocent lives lost and one of those lives was biff #and maybe temple had more of a hand in it than what he said but that doesn’t erase carolina’s complicity

My idea of Odysseus and the Odyssey in general has been now clouded by the musical.

It's cool to know what's gonna happen, love having to study that in elementary.

Hey, Odysseus, when are you going to tell your family you're actually leaving again to die at sea? :D

#epic odysseus #epic the musical #odysseus #the odyssey #THIS IS WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY #GUYS OMERO DID NOT LIKE HAPPY ENDINGS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND #OH YOU THINK HE'LL GET TO BE WITH HIS WIFE AND SON AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER?#WRONG #HE WILL LEAVE AND DIE #BECAUSE THAT'S HIS STUPID DESTINY OR SOMETHING I CAN'T REMEMBER #I swear when I catch Paride #When I catch that idiot #Me and my bestie hate that guy #Ah yes let's kidnap the wife of Menelao surely this won't cause a war #YOU IDIOT #YOU FOOL #ETTORE MY BOY DID NOT DESERVE WHAT HAPPENED TO TROY #“but how is this connected to the Odyssey?” MF #MF DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND #THAT IF THAT IDIOT DIDN'T KIDNAP ELENA #THAT BOTH ETTORE AND ODYSSEUS WOULD BE LIVING HAPPILY WITH THEIR WIVES AND SONS #They could have been great allies #Like I'm being fr they could have #Omero why must you make them suffer?#why must you make US suffer?#I need a happy ending au #I need an au where both Astianatte and Telemachus survive and become friends or something #they go on adventures together and their dads are just like:#“Look at them they're just like us”#“Indeed they are hopefully they won't have to fight Gods or something”

Grips my shirt and tears it apart so that all the buttons go flying and SCREAMS I love Law and Cora so much what the FUCK!!!!

#Shima speaks #SLAMS MY HEAD INTO THE WALL. BREAKING THE PLASTER. LEAVING A HOLE #AGHHH. AGHHFHF HELP #Cora who saw a kid so angry and bitter at the world decided to throw away everything to save him despite the whole WORLD saying he couldn’t #Law who finally realized there’s still hope left in the world and hope left for him and there’s someone willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING #Just to save him. Just to give him a fighting chance. Just to let him be FREE #Law who came to realize how much Cora meant to him and how much love and care Cora had for him. Then losing all that in an INSTANT #The one person he cared about more than anything sacrificed his LIFE for him #And Law spent the next 13 YEARS working to avenge Cora…naming his pirate crew getting tattoos fashioning his Jolly Roger ALL after Cora #TATTOOS!!! HE GOT PERMANENT MARKINGS ON HIS BODY SYMBOLIZING CORA #I’M. GOING TO FUCKING EXPLODE AND BLOW UP. WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK #Oda writing the most epic revenge quest in history #They mean so much to me I’m GOING to die. Right here and now #Cora giving up everything for Law and Law giving up everything for Cora…THAT’S TRUE LOVE BABEY #No matter what kind of form it comes in that’s TRUE. LOVE. PERIODT #One Piece #Do you think Law still would have gotten tattoos symbolizing Cora if Cora had lived. I wonder about that sometimes.#I feel like he would. I feel like he’d wear them proudly and Cora would be SO embarrassed about it #Law’s not shy about shit like that he’d be super smug about it too #Law: You saved me and gave my life meaning why WOULDN’T I want to permanently mark my body to honor that #Cora: Because it’s embarrassing! Lawwww!!! 😭#Law: Too bad doing it anyway <3 #Cora: You know what. Fine. But I’m getting a tattoo that symbolizes YOU #Law: PLEASE???#Cora: WH. WAIT THAT BACKFIRED THAT IS NOT HOW YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO REACT #Cora you NEED to match his freak okay.#I heavily hc Law to be absolutely unhinged over the people he cares about #Like scarily possessive AND obsessive kind of unhinged #He and Cora can have an unhealthy codependent relationship. As a treat <3 #Okay shutting up now SORRY I’m just. Unwell. Sighs dramatically

(lady) fia celtigar - that night and this one, too on ao3

art style inspired by @irlplasticlamb

#house of the dragon #hotd #aemond targaryen #fia celtigar #deserved #that boy did not deserve to die #why could you not just have let it go #we do not #all of us #have the means to take back that which was stolen from us #some of us have to learn to live with our pain #knowing we may never get justice for it #what pain you have wrought now for all of us #because you could not live with yours

like why did they change where Vegeta was when Cell announced the cell games in the anime

why did they make this vegeta starting shit with yamcha instead of chillin in the lab with his family? why did they take Bulma out of the lab? Why'd they say she was Out while Dr Brief was repairing 16? Why did they change Bulma working on advanced robotics to running in late with her baby?

it's the same scene except: - Bulma's actively at work being a scientist - Vegeta's not being rude to her (or anyone else!) - Vegeta waits for Trunks instead of leaving the room - Cell interrupted the airwaves, which means Trunks and Vegeta were just hanging out with Bulma and Dr B while they were working

Those are all Great Character Details!! That the anime rails against!!

#these cowards afraid of showing Vegeta actively choosing to be around his wife and child even when he's Bad #Because Goku who is Good never ever even once makes that choice onscreen outside of filler #and then they justify that choice by making Chi-Chi seem horrid and unreasonable for (checks notes) Not Wanting Her Child to Die #anyway I am once again being bitter about anime vs manga klasjdklasd #I can't believe I let the anime convince me I hated Goku man Goku's SUCH a good and ridiculous character in the manga #the anime just SUCKS at letting him be who he's always been #and has to reframe and recontextualize and reword everything he does so that it seems like he's Actually Quite Mature and Thoughtful nO #THAT's VEGETA YOU COWARDS #also the fact that bulma said she wouldn't live with him at the beginning of this arc to him casually hanging out with her and trunks #after cell beat his ass and humbled him is REALLY GOOD SUBTEXT for their shared relationship having improved without showing it #it's great subtext for all three of them and toei just went 'nah' and decided to make it a whole group shot so ...? Master Roshi could sit #and explain how ??? Tournaments Work??? Just so Cell could log on and also explain how tournaments work?? God it's been so long #since I've watched the anime and now when I do it just makes me mad aklsdjskja the manga is SOOOOO much better #there are some spots where the pacing is more ideal in the anime like goku turning ssj for the first time but like man. everything else is.#like why are you making Goku snarky with Vegeta dude his clapbacks are SO much funnier when they're just Tactless Honesty #like Vegeta's not insulted by Snark bitch he grew up in the Freeza force that man was raised by THE bitchiest drag queens #Vegeta's insulted by someone saying something deeply and insultingly True to his face as if it's the fucking weather #Goku in the anime is like 'a battle of wits hoho' but Goku's purity is part of the joke he's not snippy he's just got no social etiquette #He's just honest! He's not trying to be insulting. That's what MAKES it insulting! That's the WHOLE GAG of why Vegeta can't stand him #Goku is always just telling the truth and it's always the rudest shit Vegeta's ever heard in his life #'it's a sunny day! i'm way stronger than you! see you out there bud!' 10000% Genuinely Friendly. Golden Retriever-Ass Pure.#Infuriating. Hilarious.#anyway I looked at anime clips to make sure I remembered things right and that was a mistake #as someone who has a soft spot for it and grew up on it -- compared to the manga it's bad and it's always been bad #and toriyama was right to be disinterested in watching it jesus christ they BUTCHERED his work #anyway this has been another shot of haterade with sketches thank you for scrolling my rambletags askljdask #dbtag #i just truly can't get over how they make Vegeta call her 'woman' in the anime and he literally only ever calls her Bulma in the manga #except for on namek when he refers to her as 'the/that woman' because she is a complete stranger #why is he calling her woman like he's a 1940s american husband and not an extraterrestrial from a deeply advanced society toei

i miss claude so badly im already planning my golden deer maddening run while still in the middle of black eagles. i just want my guy. my favorite guy. unfortunately i just love the black eagles as a group/cast but i am mourning my man (i never kill him btw)
