Life is a series of natural and spontaneous change. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

The argument of I can't draw fat people so I don't even try is so stupid you have to hone your crafttt you have to try you cannot expect to just instantly be able to draw something. If you hone it you might even realize it's fun. Rrrraaaaaaahhhhhhh 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Heyyy!! Idk if you might see this one but I wanna request reader who has this ability to only do fire spells. Like oh they could make a fire dragon appear and stuff. Some might say reader can’t possibly survive the wizard world doing fire magic, but their boyfriend Tom riddle ☺️☺️☺️ thinks other wise (Tom is hot asf)

Play with Fire

Pairings : Tom Riddle x GN! Reader

Summary : You have a unique gift for fire magic, which others at Hogwarts doubt. However, your boyfriend, Tom Riddle, sees your true potential. He encourages you to hone your abilities, leading to a powerful display of fire magic in the Forbidden Forest. Despite others' skepticism, Tom's unwavering belief in you strengthens your resolve. Together, you train in secret, forging a bond based on mutual ambition and power. With Tom by your side, you feel unstoppable, ready to reshape the wizarding world and prove everyone wrong.

A/n : HI WILLL and so true! Your fucking request is amazing. When I saw this, I immediately thought of Eleven from Stranger things except R! can do fire except telekinesis. I also suggest listening to "Play with Fire" while reading. Enjoy! (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

Warnings) : nothing!

Word count : 1.5k+

The whispers started the moment you stepped into Hogwarts, a buzz of curiosity and skepticism that never seemed to fade. "How can someone survive the wizarding world with only fire magic?" they sneered. Your classmates doubted your abilities, but you paid them no mind. You knew your power, and so did your boyfriend, Tom Riddle.

It was a sunny afternoon when Tom asked you to meet him in the Forbidden Forest, far from prying eyes and gossiping tongues. You navigated the dense trees, feeling the familiar warmth of your magic pulsing in your veins. It was a part of you, as natural as breathing.

"You're late," Tom's voice echoed through the forest, smooth and commanding.

"Apologies," you replied, stepping into the clearing where he stood. "I had to deal with a few... curious eyes."

Tom's lips curled into a smirk. "Curious, or doubting?"

"Both," you admitted, shrugging. "But it doesn't matter. I can handle them."

"I know you can," Tom said, his eyes darkening with an intensity that always made your heart race. "That's why I brought you here. I want to see your magic, all of it."

"All of it?" you asked, raising an eyebrow. "That's a lot of fire, Tom."

"I can handle the heat," he replied, stepping closer. "Show me."

Taking a deep breath, you closed your eyes and centered yourself. You felt the magic swell within you, a roaring inferno begging to be unleashed. With a flick of your wrist, flames burst from your fingertips, swirling around you in a mesmerizing dance.

Tom watched, his gaze never leaving you. "Impressive," he murmured. "But I know you can do more."

You smiled, the challenge igniting your spirit. Raising your wand, you channeled your magic, envisioning a dragon made of fire. The flames obeyed your command, coalescing into the shape of a magnificent dragon that roared and soared above you.

Tom's eyes widened, and for a moment, you saw a flicker of genuine awe. "Magnificent," he breathed. "And you can do this without a wand?"

"Watch," you said, lowering your wand and raising your hand. The dragon obeyed, diving and weaving through the trees, its fiery form casting long shadows on the ground.

Tom stepped closer, his eyes never leaving the dragon. "They don't understand you," he said softly. "But I do. Your power is unique, formidable."

"They think I'm limited," you said, your voice tinged with frustration. "They don't see the potential."

"They're fools," Tom replied, his voice hardening. "In a world where power is everything, they fail to see yours. But I don't. I see it, and I will help you hone it."

You looked at him, his determination matching your own. "Why do you care so much, Tom?"

He smirked, his eyes gleaming. "Because power recognizes power. And together, we can achieve greatness."

You couldn't help but smile at his confidence. "You're ambitious, I'll give you that."

"And you're extraordinary," he replied, stepping even closer until you could feel the heat of his breath. "Never let anyone make you doubt that."

You felt a surge of gratitude and something deeper, something that made your heart beat faster. "Thank you, Tom. For believing in me."

"I don't just believe in you," he said, his voice low and intense. "I need you. Together, we can change the world."

Your eyes met his, and in that moment, you knew he meant every word. Tom Riddle was not one to give empty promises. His ambition and determination were as fierce as your flames, and together, you were unstoppable.

"Alright," you said, your voice steady. "Let's change the world."

Tom's smirk turned into a genuine smile, a rare sight that made your heart flutter. "That's the spirit," he said, taking your hand. "Now, show me more. I want to see everything you can do."

With a nod, you let the fire within you blaze brighter. You conjured fireballs, whips of flame, and even a fiery phoenix that soared into the sky. Tom watched with an intensity that bordered on obsession, his eyes drinking in every movement.

"You are incredible," he said, his voice filled with admiration. "They don't know what they're missing."

"Maybe one day they'll see," you replied, the fire dragon circling around you protectively. "But for now, it's enough that you do."

Tom's gaze softened, and for a moment, you saw something vulnerable in his eyes. "I will always see you," he promised. "Always."

You believed him. In Tom, you had found someone who understood your power, who saw your potential and wanted to help you reach it. Together, you were a force to be reckoned with, and nothing could stand in your way.

As the sun set behind the trees, casting long shadows across the forest, you knew that this was just the beginning. With Tom by your side, you were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. And with your fire magic, you would burn brighter than ever before.

─ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ──── ♡ ─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ──

That night, back in the Slytherin common room, you and Tom sat by the fireplace, its flames a comforting presence. The room was quiet, most students having gone to bed, leaving you both in a rare moment of peace.

"Have you ever thought about what you could achieve with your magic fully honed?" Tom asked, his eyes reflecting the flickering flames.

"Sometimes," you admitted, leaning back against the plush sofa. "But it's hard to imagine when everyone else only sees the limitations."

Tom reached out, taking your hand in his. His touch was surprisingly gentle, a stark contrast to the fierce ambition that usually radiated from him. "Their opinions are irrelevant. You have a gift that surpasses their understanding."

"And you're the only one who sees it," you said softly, squeezing his hand.

Tom's gaze intensified. "Because I know what true power looks like. And you, my dear, have it in abundance."

A comfortable silence settled between you, the crackling fire the only sound. You felt a sense of peace, knowing that Tom's belief in you was unwavering. His confidence bolstered your own, making you feel capable of anything.

"What do you think we could achieve together?" you asked, breaking the silence.

Tom's eyes glinted with excitement. "The possibilities are endless. With your fire magic and my... talents, we could reshape the wizarding world. Imagine the influence we could wield, the changes we could bring."

His words filled you with a thrilling sense of anticipation. "You really believe we can do that?"

"I do," Tom said, his voice firm. "But it will require dedication and secrecy. Not everyone will understand our vision."

"I'm willing to do whatever it takes," you said, your resolve strengthening.

Tom's smile was one of approval. "Good. We'll start with honing your abilities further. I want you to become so powerful that no one can ever question your place in our world."

"And what about you?" you asked, curious. "What's your role in this grand plan?"

Tom's expression grew contemplative. "I have my own goals, my own paths to power. But rest assured, our fates are intertwined. What benefits you will ultimately benefit me."

You nodded, understanding the unspoken promise between you. "Then let's make sure no one underestimates us again."

Tom's eyes sparkled with a mix of pride and ambition. "That's the spirit. Together, we'll be unstoppable."

As the night grew deeper and the fire's glow dimmed, you and Tom sat side by side, envisioning the future. With every passing moment, your bond grew stronger, forged in the heat of your shared ambitions. And with Tom by your side, you knew that your fire would never be extinguished.

─ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ──── ♡ ─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ──

The following weeks were a blur of training and secrecy. Tom pushed you to your limits, encouraging you to explore new ways to channel your fire magic. You practiced in hidden corners of the castle, away from prying eyes, your confidence growing with each successful spell.

One evening, after an intense training session, you sat together in a secluded part of the library. Tom was engrossed in a book about ancient magic, while you practiced controlling a small flame that danced on your palm.

"You've improved significantly," Tom said without looking up from his book. "Your control is much more precise."

"Thanks to you," you replied, extinguishing the flame with a flick of your wrist. "I wouldn't have come this far without your guidance."

Tom finally looked up, his expression serious. "You've always had the potential. All I've done is help you see it."

"Still," you said, smiling. "I appreciate it."

Tom's gaze softened, and he reached out to take your hand. "You don't need to thank me. We're partners in this, remember?"

You nodded, feeling a warmth that had nothing to do with your magic. "Partners."

As you looked into his eyes, you realized just how much he meant to you. Tom Riddle was ambitious, cunning, and often ruthless, but he had a soft spot for you. He saw your worth when no one else did, and that meant everything.

"I'll always be by your side, Tom," you said softly. "No matter what."

Tom's eyes held a rare tenderness. "And I, yours."

In that moment, you knew that together, you could face anything. The future was uncertain, filled with challenges and obstacles, but with Tom by your side, you were ready. Together, you would burn brighter than the fiercest flames, leaving an indelible mark on the wizarding world.

[iloveladybuglucy]

To be his strongest, people have to be afraid—does he want people to be scared? Or worse...does he need them to be?

introducing my first invincible oc! Caelum is a nursing student at Upstate University who works as a part-time paramedic and becomes the eventual boyfriend/husband of Atom Eve in my au :)

ref sheet and character bio under the cut

Hero Name: Reverie (pron. rev-uh-ree, a state of being lost in one's thoughts, a daydream, or a dreamlike trance)

True Identity: Caelum Somner (meaning "sky" and "sleep")

Origin of his Powers:

As a medic who had witnessed countless gruesome, untimely deaths and mass murders, Caelum began to feel the effects of everything weigh heavily on him. While doom scrolling through Reddit, he came across a post looking for volunteers willling to try out a cutting-edge neurological experiment meant to help people with PTSD, anxiety, or coma recovery. The experiment involved neural stimulants and exposure to dream-state frequencies, aided by the government. Caelum, desperate for an escape from his own head, decided to reach out and agreed to do the procedure. However, the experiment was botched and his brain was permanently altered; now he can sense emotions, enter dreams, and manipulate fear.

Powers:

Emotional Manipulation & Empathy Aura

Can sense and absorb emotions, particularly fear and anxiety, which make him stronger.

His Empathy Aura can be used for calming others, reducing panic, and easing pain, making him an excellent medic.

Dream Walking & Fear Manifestation

Can enter people's dreams and explore their subconscious fears and desires.

In combat, he can trap enemies in a nightmare-like illusion, forcing them to confront their fears.

The more terrified the opponent, the stronger he becomes.

Terror-fueled Strength & Reflexes

Gains temporary enhancements (speed, agility, durability) when absorbing strong fear or anxiety.

Weaknesses & Limits:

Emotional Dependence

If his opponent is fearless, rational, or emotionally numb, his power weakens.

Can be overwhelmed by chaotic or conflicting emotions, making him vulnerable.

Dream Walking Drawbacks

Entering someone’s mind leaves his real body vulnerable.

Some strong-willed individuals can resist or manipulate the dream space against him.

Empathy Overload

If exposed to too many intense emotions at once (like a disaster scene), he can experience emotional burnout, making him ineffective.

Requires Fear to Get Stronger

Against an opponent with a calm, strategic mind, he can’t gain any boosts, forcing him to rely on his physical combat skills.

Personality:

Calm & Introspective: Caelum is naturally reserved, preferring to think before he acts. He’s methodical and observant, which makes him a great medic but sometimes slow to trust others.

Cynical but Caring: His experiences as a medic and exposure to constant suffering have made him skeptical of the world, yet he still feels deeply responsible for others. He doesn’t always believe in hope, but he acts because he wants to be the hope people need.

Dry Sense of Humor: He uses humor as a coping mechanism, often making sarcastic or dark jokes. It helps him detach from the horrors he sees daily.

Loyal but Guarded: He will fight for those he cares about, but letting people in is a different story. Trust doesn’t come easily to him.

Flaws & Internal Struggles

Emotional Burnout & Detachment – Caelum deals with so much emotional distress from others that he struggles with his own emotions. He might not even realize when he’s suppressing things until they bubble over in unhealthy ways.

Fear of Losing Control – The stronger he gets, the more he fears what prolonged exposure to terror might do to him. Could he lose himself in the emotions of others? Could he become addicted to fear?

Struggles with Optimism – He admires Eve’s idealism but finds it frustrating. In his eyes, the world is cruel, and thinking otherwise is naive. This could be a point of conflict between them.

Sleeplessness & Overworking – Since his powers weaken with exhaustion, he constantly pushes himself to the brink, unwilling to rest even when he needs it. His body and mind often suffer as a result.

Dependency on Others’ Fear – A terrifying realization for him is that in order to be his strongest, people have to be afraid. This creates a moral dilemma—does he want people to be scared? Does he need them to be?

Relationship with Eve: 

Caelum is calm, introspective, and a deep thinker—opposite to Eve’s more emotional and idealistic nature. While Eve often feels conflicted about her powers and their impact on others, Caelum is able to show her that even in the face of difficult decisions, there are always other perspectives to consider. His quiet demeanor and rational thinking can help her make clearer choices without the burden of too much stress.

Their relationship is balanced—Eve helps Caelum tap into his emotional side and push beyond the logical, while he helps Eve regain a sense of grounding when she gets too idealistic or overconfident in her powers. Their differences complement each other—Eve is emotional, driven by ideals, while Caelum is rational and grounded. She helps him see that it isn't stupid or pointless to have hope, while he keeps her from overextending herself.

Caelum often struggles with Eve’s desire to “fix” things with her powers, as he believes not everything can (or should) be fixed. On the flip side, Eve finds his cynicism exhausting.

HELLO! again me! Hehe... can u pls do "if you are playing soccer like Blue Lock(anime) what they would do or their reactions???" I wanted this so badly and if u look you willl remember me! Eheh

Oh my, I admit that I read some of the manga. I'm not that much a fan of football (don't know half the things that are happening during matches - but I did watched them sometimes), so I made the reader's character based on different players.

Kyotaro Sugishita, Hayato Suo, Haruka Sakura x Football Player! (Blue Lock!) reader

Kyotaro Sugishita

Despite his sulky mood and standoffish personality, this man was at your every game. Although he didn't look like it he was your cheerleader, your greatest admirer during the matches and practices. Your brain was a mystery to him. Your skills at predicting the opposing team's moves and then leading your own to victory could make him stare at you as if hypnotized, not minding anything else that happened around him.

As Kyotaro watched the football match unfold, he couldn’t help but be captivated by you. All your strategies were amazing and so successful in providing more points for your team. Your mind really did work faster than the players on the field. And he loved seeing the satisfaction on your face each time you stole the ball from the opposing player.

Kyotaro's eyes always widened as he admired not just your tactical mind but also how effortlessly you got past everyone and scored. Like you often told him whenever you talked about it. “It’s all mostly anticipating their moves. You can’t just rely on skill only.” Your voice echoed in his head as his eyes followed you on the field.

While he was all about strength and physicality, you were intelligent and unstoppable. You were the brains to his brawn, complementing each other in an exciting way.

Hayato Suou

You were a little like Hayato, meaning you had this hidden strength that someone could see only whenever you showed it off. When you were on the field shooting goal after goal, your powerful kicks were a force to be reckoned with. Not to mention the accuracy you trained for years to achieve, it always made people shocked, sometimes even yourself.

The two of you were hanging out at the park, you trained your skills while he enjoyed a moment of relaxation and meditation. You had been training hard, and he had seen you nail all the shots countless times.

You were focused, eyes locked on the goal, as you lined up for a powerful shot. With a swift kick, the soccer ball soared through the air, whistling past him with impressive speed. Suo didn’t even flinch as it zipped just centimeters from his face. Instead, he stood there, looking at you as he meditated on the grass. “You alright? I almost took your head off there!” You asked worriedly, running over.

A hint of relief crossed your face as you became aware of the smirk appearing on his lips when you stopped in front of him all anxious. “You wouldn’t miss. I trust you to hit your mark.” He shrugged matter-of-factly and your face bloomed in happiness that he believed in your skills so much. "It seems like more than you yourself." He added teasingly flicking you on your forehead.

Haruka Sakura

Haruka was known to thrive on competition, so when he met you, a fiercely egotistical football player, he unknowingly stuck to you. Your practices, although based on different sports, quickly turned into a series of friendly rivalries, each trying to outdo the other.

As you trained, your relentless drive pushed him to give his all. He admired your determination. Every time you drilled a perfect shot or executed a flawless play, being successful in your sport, he felt the urge to raise the bar during sparring sessions with others and prove to himself that his abilities were on par with yours. Simply saying, he wanted to prove that he was someone you could truly admire and rely on, just like you did him.

Yet, there were moments when your confidence wavered, when a bad practice left you frustrated and doubting yourself. One afternoon, after a particularly tough training, you kicked a ball in frustration. “I’ll never get it right!” You groaned out feeling helpless.

He looked at you shocked and slightly weirded out because come on had you seen yourself on the field? You were doing such things easily and so effortlessly. The time spent together let him know that sometimes you just need a little pick me up.

“Hey, don’t be so hard on yourself. You’ve got the talent. I mean, who else can pull off those insane tricks?” Hakura stepped closer, his tone earnest and a little annoyed trying and failing to show that he didn't care that much. He did.

He smirked, feeling a surge of pride as you resumed your practice. With every competition and every word of encouragement, your rivalry changed into respect and admiration for each other.

Hii ur creature au is very awesome sauce.

1. Does Frank have any limits as to what he can shape shift into? Sorry if this sounds dumb lol

2. Does it hurt for Frank to shapeshift?

so he doesnt really have a limit, except it has to be a living organism (but no plants or fungi). that being said, the further something is from tge human form, the more taxing it is on the body. so the easiest is other ppl duh, then other mammals, then everything else pretty much. but the shifting abilities can be trained, its more a skill than a magical power. so for example, yes a cat is not very close to a human form but if a shifter transforms into a cat often, the shift willl be easier. theres also difficulty levels to different beings, so if a shifter wants to transform into like, a worm, it might not work the first time at all. also shifters dont gain other creatures supernatural features when shifting into them. physical yes, but something like a sirens "aura" no. also while they do retain a humans mind during shifts, the degree to which they do depends on the animal. so the less intelligent an animal is, the less human mind they get to keep!

it doesnt really hurt, more like discomfort. theres guts rearanging and bones shifting so its a wierd feeling but shifters get used to it after a while. maybe theres some pain if he over exerts himself but nothing really bad

[alexlikesairconditioninh]

Geo with a reader who keeps poofing out of existence. MIAing, maybe even in a crime gang. Anything where MC vanishes for days at a time.

Also. Expect more. You want Geo reqs you're getting Geo reqs.

NNFNFNFNDJWNWW thank you annonie 🤲🤲🤲

This is under the pretence that geo knows about hyugos crimes

Not proofread

Hes super confused as to why you go for days at a time, but while he waits for you he takes notes, and marks down important class dates for you.

Does he like it when you disappear? No, absolutely not. Hates it, hes so overprotective to him the thought of you getting hurt or maybe disappearing for a day, then a week, then a month... then forever, actually brings out emotions he forgets he had.

Please tell when your gonna disappear. He feels... sad without you, especially without notice. (He won't let you know how he feels— directly atleast)

If you do come back hurt from your little crime rendezvous hes pissed, like so fucking pissed.

This is when you are forced to tell him what goes on when and why you leave.

Crime? Disappearing? That sounds awfully familar... Is genuinely irked at first, your too similar to hyugo— and thats not a good thing. He wants you to stop, but he knows you probably can't. It doesn't take him a while to come to terms with it, probably right then and there.

Because to him, at the end of the day as long as your safe and sound, preferably in his arms, he'll be content. (For a while)

Hes rich, he has connections to the citys founders— while he night not get directly involved (for a while), he'll work from the shadows. Doing everything in his power to make anything for anyone opposing you (and your gang) difficult. And, making things for your group easier.

Your gonna be gone for awhile?— heres 100 bucks— what? Its for food expenses?

Gets nice ass weapons manufactured for your gang. Oh your comrade was talking about how their knife broke?— next time you see him he gives you a freshly made one and tells you to bring it to them. Their your Partners in crime, literally. He'll do what he can to help protect you, and help your teamates protect you. If they fail to protect you he gets pissy, "how fucking incompetent are they?!"

If you get hurt bad another time then things kinda get rocky. Why do you still do what you do especially when you get hurt like this? This is when he really wants you out— if he has to pay a large ass fine then he willl. This probably causes an argument— hes concerned for your safety, really. Dont leave him please.

Things dont see to be looking well for hyugo, he doesn't want you to end up like him.

Sorry for the short length, i wrote this in one sitting ヽ(≧∀≦)ﾉ

How Amazing! Hello Mr. Whale!

Author’s note: So… this is a silly random thing, after watching a few videos of unlikely wildlife and children interactions that are super cute and wholesome.

Summary: There are fragments of holo-videos of a motherly baseline human talking about interactions of her son, a blond haired, blue eyed child, and a strange whale.

Warnings: Fluff! Let me know if I need to add anything else

The next video he sees of young Robu and his mother in a kayak, paddling around on the water- which is beautiful. The young Robu had been babbling- from the way the video started- the young Robu had spotted something and was waving his hand as his mother gently, almost nervously babbled to him to careful and quiet.

"There are whales about Robu, honey." She murmurs, both sounding excited, awed, and terrified at the same time.

"Whale!" The young boy giggles.

Why does he hear human speech coming from the whale?

"Yes, we must be still and quiet baby." his mother retorts as the video tracks one of the whales, a massive black and white form as it glides effortlessly, and massive in form under the water.

The whale breaches the water and glides closer to the boat- very close, the mother murmuring something under her breath that he can't quite hear as the whale lets out trilling, whistling calls.

He can almost understand what the Whale and the Boy are saying. But his ears start to bleed and he claws at his face and begs for it to stop.

The little boy- fearless little Robu babbles at the whale, as it inches closer to the boat and mother. For one of the rare times, the Historitor also hears a male voice rumble in the background.

"Yes sir- we shall move the boats away from the whale carefully." He hears someone, a servant of some kinds says in McCraggian.

The little boy is leaning closer to the water, reaching out a tiny hand towards the whale, which follows closer, and closer to the boat. The camera is jostled as his mother scoops up the boy and backs away from the edge of the water and the boat.

If the whale gets to close to the boat it he willl try and steal the boy.

The whale lets out a loud trilling call at that, and the small child lets out a little call- the words the boy say are lost as the video cuts off. That was. Strange. Some whales could be curious and friendly around humans, while others could be downright hostile.

For some reason, his heart is pounding, his palms are sweating and he rubs them against his pants as he closes his eyes and shakes his head a little.

That had been a very close call. Things could have been a lot worse.

That had been a good interaction between humans and whales. With how large and powerful whales could be, that had been very gentle and safe interaction.

At first he had thought the whale had been an Orca-like creature, but he'd researched whale types and their subtypes across the galaxy and found out that it was a type of false-killer whale.

[bonefall]

speaking of. would cats like Blackclaw and Greenflower and other members TigerClan fandom be sent to Dark Forest? or have a trial? or would they somehow repent enough in life during Mistystar's regin (im pressing x to doubt that though)?

i want Stonefur, Primrosepaw and Pikepaw to personally roundhouse kick Blackclaw, but i can understand if they would want to stay away from him too (at least the kids. Stonefur should be the first to throw.. a stone.)

A lot of them are going to get recruited, even if they may have won a trial. Those who die in the WindClan Civil War willl get damned immediately; StarClan is FURIOUS that trecherous rebels in other Clans tried to take advantage of the political situation.

Mudclaw the Hypocrite, who accuses Onestar of being a puppet of outside influences, promised power to a RiverClan warrior in exchange for mercenaries to brutalize his own Clanmates. HELL! Hell for ALL of them!

Those that survive probably don't have enough time to make up for it. They would also have been supportive of TigerClan, so they're earmarked already. Even those who didn't throw their weight behind the Civil War have quite the tally of sins to manage.

(And... at least one of them, I'm unsure of who, were involved in the "disappearences" of Primrosepaw and Pikepaw. Whoever they are, StarClan will not hold a trial nor send a fetcher. They can find their own way to the Dark Forest, without even a Sharing of Stars to fix their mortal wounds.)

Also for the record let me just clarify something; StarClan judges based on if you are "worthy" of joining them. They do rule in neutral-favor for an unremarkable warrior, but if your life is enough of a question to trigger a Trial at all, you are guilty until proven innocent.

More specifically, "unworthy" until proven worthy. StarClan Trials are not held with "fairness" as a value.

[destinyc1020]

The thing is apart from a very few number of people (only really can think of 1 tbh). Most of the people they like to compare Tom are not successful in every aspect - especially money lol. This is the real world and the number of twitter Stans has clearly not translated to financial success for most. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Tom and Zendaya doing movies that willl be a guaranteed success.

Also with Keith powers, I think him responding is out of frustration. There are thousands of actors who would kill for Tom’s career and success (or even a fraction). If you’re calling someone like him washed, it’s really an insult to so many people who have been working and hustling for years and have not reached even a smidge if Tom’s success (and this is mainly for minority actors who just have so much going against them). So I really don’t even think Keith’s response is about Tom, it’s just crazy to him to see someone who he probably considers extremely successful in an area he is an been hustling in for over a decade be called ‘washed’ lol.

Giiiiirrrrrl I was thinking about that too (regarding the poc aspect) but wasn't gonna go there.... 👀

Do you know how many poc actors, shoot... even WHITE actors, have been out here struggling from sometimes DECADES and STILL don't have even a smidgen of the amount of fame, MONEY, popularity, and role choices that Tom has had?

"Washed up", where??? 🥴

Anyway, I think you're right.... part of his response was in defense of Tom, but part of it was also probably him thinking about himself and other poc who are not even anywhere near Tom's level of success and fame and thinking... what??

The Upside Down is a tesseract.

(time theory)

The writers tweeted a picture of the book Wrinkle in Time, which its title refers to a tesseract. You may ask, what's a tesseract? The basis is that a tesseract is a fifth dimension (the fourth dimension is time). Even in the book, to explain it, they use the same metaphor that they used in Stranger Things about the flea.

Here they're only using this concept to travel through dimensions. In ST, creating gates with so much power that tore space and time. And in the book, in a very similar way, to make a shortcut go to point A to point B.

We know that El has the power to create these gates, so Vecna is interested in her. And she also was the one who sent Henry to another dimension for the first time. But if you pay attention, this dimension didn't look like the Upside Down, so it makes me believe that these aren't the same place.

One is blue with spores and looks like Hawkins on November sixth, 1983, the day Willl disappeared (remember that the Duffers said this was important, and they will explain it in s5). And the other has warm colors and looks like a desert with many rocks.

My theory is that Will created the Upside Down while trying to hide from the Demogorgon. As in Wrinkle in Time, not everyone has the power of tesser. And Will manipulated time and space to create this fifth dimension.

We have seen how the Upside Down can affect the real world via the lights. They use light particles to communicate with others. A similar way that Interstellar uses the strings in the fifth dimension (also a tesseract). But in Stranger Things, they have only used it to communicate in the same period of time (the present), but what if there's a way to also communicate to other periods of time (the past)?

In Interstellar, the tesseract is an enormous structure used to communicate through gravity. Still, it's Copper's love for his daughter that allows him to see her in the past and communicate with her in this exact period. Because the premise of the movie is love transcends time and space.

ST also uses the trope of the power of love. So where I'm going with this? Our heroes will find a way to communicate with their past selves to try to prevent things, but I don't think they will be able to change the past even if they try.

My reason to believe that they will also play with time is that our villain literally has a clock motif and is obsessed with time. Also, there have been some references about time travel. And going back to season 1, the night Will disappeared, the lights in Mike's house were flickering. And the light in Will's bike also started to flicker, so he was able to notice the Demogorgon. Maybe it also was a warning. Still, if we continue with this theory, Vecna was living in the other dimension, not in the Upside Down, so he wasn't the one manipulating the lights because Will hadn't created it "yet." So who was behind the flickering? Our heroes in the future.

This isn't a new theory; I know this is the basis of flickergate. It's cute the idea that they were kissing in the Upside Down, but I think they were trying to prevent Will from leaving. Like in Interstellar, Cooper uses Morse code to send the message "STAY" But in both cases, they couldn't stop it.

Remember the iconic scene with Joyce and the Christmas lights, when she painted an alphabet, and someone warned her to RUN. Some people had questioned how Will was able to see the letters when the Upside Down was stuck on the day he disappeared. So, what if it wasn't the Will who was stuck in the UD and was someone from the future that was trying to save her (maybe Will but his future self).

There may be more examples of lights flickering, but these are the two that I remember right now.

Also, we know that Will could call his house via the phone. And in season 2, when they discovered that the way to defeat the Mindflayer was by closing the gate, the phone started to ring, so Will knew he was in the Byers' house. Maybe Vecna also will figure out how to use the Upside Down and try to intercept their plan, calling the house at that time.

Bonus: Arrival was in the s4 movie list inspiration. A movie that also plays with the concept that time is non-linear. The key to communicating with the aliens is understanding how they perceive time. You can read more about it in this analysis of the movie.

In conclusion: The Upside Down is a fifth dimension (a tesseract) where you can communicate with others dimensions, not only in the present.
