house arrest and boarded up homes

I was thinking about how the only times we ever see Vecna anywhere except at the Creel house (I mean literally in Vecna form) it's in visions, right? which he's conducting from the UD attic, really? can he leave the house?

so then I got thinking about all the "trapped at home" themes on ST and especially the boarded up exits in visions. far from a new revelation, there's not really gonna be anything "new" in this post - but I never realized how extensive it is (this isn't even attempting to be a complete roundup due to photo limit) or thought about what that means for him

OKAY Creelers, your homes are prisons... we got it... smth smth Karen trying to trap her kids at home and in turn being trapped there herself by allying with Brenner...

anyway onto the actual horror boards thing - not all Vecna visions have them.

Fred's visions, Chrissy's clock and bathroom visions, and Max's clock, mom and Billy visions do not have the boards imagery. those are also all the ones which happened outside of or not involving their homes, both in terms of the vision's setting and where the victim physically was while experiencing it.

but the visions set inside of homes got boards [and those are all also the ones experienced while inside of homes irl, though not necessarily those same homes] - the Cunningham house in Chrissy's final vision, the lab in Nancy's (not a house but was technically his home for most of his life, and is referred to as home by Brenner), and ofc Max's in the Creel house.

(honorable mention for Victor's war vision, which wasn't boarded up in the sense of the others, but it was both experienced from and set in a home, and there is some very similar blue-lit-boards imagery in the bombed house. I know there's some question as to who actually did this one but it sorta works)

and when we get to the actual Creel house, whoooboy do we go hard on the boards thing. both in the sense of the IRL house being all boarded up so that the kids have to pry plywood off that door to get in, and of the actual horror boards vision being so much more extensive than Chrissy's or Nancy's.

btw guess how many different boarded up exits Max encounters in her vision? 4. teehee get it

ok, any more homes/boards stuff outside of the st4 visions?

this is kinda Will trying to escape his house, the UD of it anyway. and depending in what way Will's UD experience was affected by what went on in the RU, consider the impys of Lonnie "repairing" that hole, from Will's pov. even if Will didn't literally get the horror boards treatment in there, as a result of this, still. Themes TM

and then much later we have Jon and Nancy boarding up the broken cabin window. yeah I know this is to stop bad guys getting in, not good guys getting out. but is it giving "horror boards but from the wrong pov" again? is this any support for the idea of the final scene being Will's Vecna vision?

and then of course there's the way that that cabin was El's former home, yet also very much a place she wanted to escape from - as was every other place El has ever called home, however briefly. in most cases the word "prison" actually does pop up eventually:

and then there's the mind lair being the fubar Creel house, and the fact that in no mind lair scenes do we ever see Vecna set foot outside of the bounds of the house, right?

in the Dear Billy vision, when it was Vecna in Max's head, he was able to chase her all around the graveyard when she ran. but when Max somehow got into his head, and then Kate Bushed it outta there, he just stood there looking grumpy and tried to stop her by making house parts fall on her, like he couldn't follow her.

[side note: if he HAD scored a direct hit, what then? send a vine out to drag her back? he stopped her that way before, why didn't he just do that again? can his vines not reach beyond the bounds of the mindscape house either?]

even the Piggyback moment where El comes-to and sees him carrying Max in (which. WHY?) he's already well within the house area.

thematically it makes sense that he would be trapped in his own mindscape. psychologically stuck in his trauma... prison of his own making type of thing.. etc etc

image limit. go on without me:

"they're still with me (taps head) in here"

Vecna getting trapped against one of those pillars in his own mindscape by El

boarded up doors imagery vs Flayed Billy and VecnaChrissysmom "open the goddamn door" (not to mention a trillion other instances of "open the door" and door imagery)

Victor telling the story of their home and his trauma from in an actual prison cell (nvm the whole Hopper prison plot)

Kali / Brenner / festering

Pennhurst "can't they just escape?" "they could, but the vast majority choose to be here"

leave your train station

and the only time I can think of that we see Vecna physically outside his house in the UD is when Nancy shoots him though the (boarded up) attic window, after which he disappears somehow. was whatever happened there (at least in part) a consequence of having gone out-of-bounds?

lab duels / if you leave your circle, you lose

Terry stuck reliving her trauma in her dream circle

you have already lost / no you have... etc etc

on first watch I figured he could do whatever and go wherever he wanted but chose to stay at home (like how Will hid at home in the UD)(actually ig I'm basing that on a lot of assumptions) but actually I don't see support for that unless I'm missing something huge.

anyway. just me rolling in the themes like a dog in poop 👍

#bro was forced to touch grass and it killed him. rip #but the prison references. constant. it is CONSTANT #givehimthemedicine analysis #mine #analysis #(owens voice) you son of a bitch!!! (me finding more patterns of 4 connected to Max)#vecna

💝 also also how about "[ company ] to hang out with them when neither have a date for the night" from the valentine's prompts list with bob hehehe -allie

allie i might have went a little crazy here i rewrote this like 3 times bc im indecisive teehee anyways enjoy beloved<3 @spideystevie | [wc - 1.5k] | join my prompt party!

“Are you serious?” you tried to keep the annoyance out of your tone, but a fair bit seeped in anyways. “We’ve had this planned for months, Nat.”

“I know, I know. I’m really sorry.” Your best friend’s voice crackled through the phone. “Believe me, I wish this was something I could get out of. But this is the first time her parents have asked to meet me. That’s a big deal. And it’s the only night that works for them. I’m so, so, so sorry, and I promise I’ll make it up to you.”

You shifted, pushing off the kitchen counter and turning to rest your elbows against the marble. You traced your finger along the grout and ceded, “I get it. It sucks and I’m annoyed, but I get it.” You sighed, rubbing at the crease between your eyebrows. “What’s another Valentine’s Day on my couch, right? I’ve had worse.”

Natasha was quiet for a moment. Then she said, “I’m really sorry.”

“Stop apologizing. It’s fine. Go have fun.”

“You sure?”

“Natasha.”

“Okay. Love you. I’ll text you later.”

“Okay.”

Natasha hung up with a faint beep and you let your phone fall loudly out of your hand, where it clattered to the counter—unharmed. You dropped your head into your hands and muffled a groan with the heel of your palm, digging your nails into your scalp before shaking yourself and straightening up again. You pocketed your phone and came around the corner, leaving the kitchen and re-entering the living room.

It was pathetic to look at now. You’d decorated it with the intent to host a whole slew of your friends for a ‘palentine’s party,’ but one by one they’d bailed on you. Now it was just you and Bob Floyd in your apartment, waiting for a Natasha Trace that wouldn’t be coming.

When Bob saw you, he sat up straighter on the couch. He always sat so rigidly when he came over, like he was scared he’d mess up your cushions just by relaxing on them. You probably shouldn’t have found it as endearing as you did, but oh well. There were a lot of things Bob did that you probably shouldn’t have found as endearing as you did.

“She’s not coming, is she?” Bob asked, his wide blue eyes following your movement as you wound your way around the coffee table towards the far end of the couch. You threw yourself down with a tired sigh and blew a raspberry, shaking your head. Bob winced. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s whatever,” you said. “I should have known better than to try and make group plans on Valentine’s Day.”

“What now?” he asked, his fingers digging into the folds of his jeans at his knees.

You shrugged as best you could in your horizontal position. “I don’t know. Put on a movie, I guess. Eat a bunch of this chocolate. Drink a bunch of this wine. Procrastinate cleaning everything up.” You flopped your head to the side so that you could look at him and smile wearily. “I know you probably had fun plans with that girl—the one from the bookstore. Go on, get out of here.” You dropped your voice to a teasing whisper. “Save yourself.”

Bob just scrunched up his nose and shook his head.

Surprised, you pushed yourself up onto your elbows. “What—is she busy?”

He looked away from you then, pushing up his glasses and coughing into his fist awkwardly. “No,” he said, his voice sounding weird. “No, she’s, uh—it’s not gonna work out, I think. I haven’t heard from her in a while. And I haven’t reached out to her, either,” he added hastily.

You pushed out your bottom lip, sitting up fully and reaching for one of the bottles of red wine you’d put out on the coffee table. “Aw. I’m sorry to hear that. She sounded nice.”

Bob shrugged, still not looking at you.

“Well,” you said, pulling the cork out of the bottle with a loud pop, “if you don’t have anything to do, I guess you could stay here. God knows I won’t be going anywhere. But you don’t have to.”

“No,” he said quickly, “that sounds—um—that sounds nice. I’d love to. As long as it’s no hassle.”

“No hassle at all.” You smiled to yourself, pouring two glasses of wine and pushing one across the table to him before taking a long drink of yours. Then you pulled open the heart-shaped box of chocolates and plopped it on the sofa between the two of you before turning on the tv and starting to scroll through your movie options.

“You know, you’re allowed to relax,” you said as you reclined back onto the cushions, noticing the way Bob was still sitting so stiffly on the far side.

He laughed a little nervously. “Right. Sorry.” You watched as he awkwardly shimmied out of his coat and draped it over the back of the couch. He settled deeper into the cushions, his eyes trained on the tv screen, absently swirling the wine in his glass.

Your cheeks felt warm as you turned back to the tv. You were oddly touched that Bob wanted to stay and keep you company on your failed Valentine’s Day evening. Clearing your throat, you said, “So what are you in the mood for?”

“Anything’s fine,” he said quietly, but at that exact moment you scrolled past When Harry Met Sally and he gasped softly.

“I shoulda known you’d love a classic friends-to-lovers,” you chuckled, hitting play.

When you glanced sideways at him, he was blushing. The opening titles reflected off of his glasses, making his expression hard to read. Embarrassment suddenly flooded you. Why the hell had you said that?

You turned sharply back to face the screen, determined to only focus on the movie playing.

Had you ever thought of Bob like that? Of course you had. It was hard not to. He was so kind and considerate and endearing and chivalrous. But he was one of Natasha’s closest friends, so by extension, he was one of your closest friends. You weren’t eager to mess that up with things like your inability to distinguish basic kindness from flirting.

The time ticked by, and you kept refilling your wine glass, even if Bob stopped after his second. Pretty soon the box of chocolates was on your lap instead of the cushions, and as you chased a caramel-filled one with a big gulp of wine, the word aphrodisiac sprung to mind.

You decided to ease off the chocolate and wine.

“Are you cold?” Bob asked about halfway through the movie, his voice causing you to jump.

“Um,” you said. The truth was you were cold, but you didn’t want to admit it.

Unfortunately, Bob was incredibly perceptive. He tugged the blanket off the back of the couch, and you found yourself scooting closer to him almost without meaning to. You held your breath as you gently tucked yourself under his arm and the blanket came around both of you, followed by his arm landing loosely across your covered waist.

He was very warm. His shirt was very soft. He smelled very good. You could feel his heartbeat.

“Is this okay?” he breathed.

“Mm-hmm.”

You’d spent so much time fighting off any feelings you felt for Bob like that that you’d never considered that he might like you like that, too.

The movie pushed onwards as Harry and Sally’s friendship changed and fell apart and became something entirely new. You settled into Bob’s side, almost concerned by how comfortable it felt to cuddle with him on your couch. His arm on your waist was heavy and grounding, and his fingers absently moved across your leg, sending shivers across your whole body.

“…I love that after I spend a day with you I can still smell your perfume on my clothes…”

“Hey, Bob?” you whispered.

“…I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night…”

“Yeah?” he replied, just as quietly, like he was scared to ruin the moment. You thought you could relate to the feeling.

“…And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s…”

“Thanks for staying with me tonight,” you said.

“…I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody…”

“My pleasure,” he breathed, and his hand tightened on your leg. Your breath hitched, but then the pressure was gone again.

“…you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible!”

“I’m sorry about bookstore girl,” you said, even as the more sensible you that was still on the other side of the couch tried to wring your neck for bringing her up at all.

“You see, that is just like you, Harry. You say things like that and you make it impossible for me to hate you!”

“That’s okay,” he whispered. “I think she got tired of listening to me go on and on about you.”

You sat up and Bob turned to look at you, his eyebrows pinched in the middle and his mouth drawn into a tight line. He was scared, you realized. The thought almost made you want to laugh at how ridiculous it was.

“Oh,” you said dumbly. Then, again: “Oh.”

And as Harry and Sally fell into each other’s arms, you curled your fingers into Bob Floyd’s tee-shirt and kissed him for the first time.

Whumptober- Day 1, Swooning.

Basically Minish gets a lil concussion teehee. It’s short and sweet but I didn’t know what else to do. Hope you enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Minish groaned as he sat up, looking around at the battlefield before him. It seemed to be over, but Minish didn’t recall its ending. He looked around, ignoring the intense pressure in his head, seeing if he could spot his allies. He saw most of them huddled up together, but he couldn’t see what they were doing. He blinked a few times, confused at his blurry vision.

“Hey buddy,” he heard a voice next to him, and he turned to see Legend smiling at him. “Are you alright?”

Minish stared at him for a moment, not comprehending his question for a moment. Legend stared for a moment, tilting his head at his silence.

“Minish, are you ok?”

Minish rubbed his eyes and looked down. “Mm,” was all he was able to muster up in response.

Legend stared at him with a concerned frown on his face, before grabbing a rag and dabbing his head. Minish flinched and hissed in pain, and Legend pulled back.

“Sorry buddy, your head is bleeding.”

Minish blinked again, rubbing his head, feeling the familiar warm liquid oozing out of his head.

“Let me take care of that.”

Legend gently began taking care of his head wound again, wrapping it in bandages while Minish tried to remember what happened. Was he hit in the head? Well, obviously but was it a monster? Did he fall? Minish winced at his throbbing head as Legend finished up.

“Minish.”

He looked back at Legend who was looking more stern.

“Are you ok?”

Minish groaned, suddenly feeling nauseous. “I don’t feel very good,” he mumbled. It hurt to think about how he felt truthfully. Legend patted him on the shoulder and gave him a little nudge.

“You might have a concussion. Come on, we gotta take care of you,” Legend grabbed his arm and gently pulled him off his feet. Minish complied, but as soon as he was on his feet, his stomach lurched and he bent over, emptying his stomach.

“Woah ok, just let it all out,” he barely heard Legend over his vomiting. Minish groaned when he was finished and leaned heavily against the pink-haired hero, and he was gently lifted into his arms. “You’re lucky you’re so small.”

Minish grumbled and smacked the side of Legend’s face.

“I’ll kill you for that.”

“Sure you will. Just wait until after you’ve recovered to kill me?”

Minish smiled and tucked his head into Legend’s neck.

“Fine, promise not to tell anyone about this?”

“What, about carrying you somewhere safer? I guess I could keep a secret.”

“If you don’t, I’ll break your kneecaps,” he mumbled, closing his eyes as exhaustion began to overcome him. The last thing he heard was Legend chuckling.

“I’ll keep that in mind, smithy.”

#link between links #smiles writes #whumptober 2023 #whumptober day 1 #I’m playing around with Minish’s personality and I think I’m enjoying it a bit more than the other one!#lbl Minish #lbl legend #whumptober

#14 The Lone Drow

Start: August 2nd, 2023

End: August 6th, 2023

Card: 6 of spades

Tweet: "Drizzt has gone feral and all his friends went home. Obould got a promotion from king to god king. Drizzt gets new friends but swiftly loses half of them. Bruenor is comatose but no one can find his DNR. In the end you win some, you lose some, and sometimes you explode them."

10/10 WIN!!!

This book absolutely fab ;; not a dull moment

So Catti-brie is having sword problems again controlling her bloodlust.

Drizzt very much wants someone like him, and his wish is fulfilled by Innovindil.

The dwarves hang onto Bruenor as a beacon of hope, and that if they had let him die then that symbolically mean that all hope was lost, it was the idea of Bruenor, of an inspiring leader that they held onto. Drizzt in the meantime had a good cry session believing he had nothing left to lose. I don't know where I'm going with this. Hey speaking of his cry sesh he names his losses of Zak, Bruenor, Ellifain, the other companions. It's better that she was left out but at least spare some mind for your sister that raised you, was yet another victim to the lolth cult, and forsaken lolth while dying in your arms dude

Regis my beloved - that is all - actually wait i'm not done ; time and time again Regis steps up for the family who loves him his duty lies with them

Things are getting tense between obould's army and his allies ; i hope gerti decides to team up against him teehee

I hope things turn out alright for nanfoodle - he's not all that willful and shoudra was a very large force in keeping everyone off their suspicious tale.

Pikel should take a page out of Merle Highchurch's book

But now the dwarves (save for 51) are within Mithral hall and a reunion with Drizzt seems very unlikely (although they were very close!)

But obould seems unstoppable now as he just keeps getting upgrades - cant type gotta read nao

KD!AU

Errink(+Afterdeath poly eventually teehee)

So, Atra(ink) met Steller(Error) when he was still traveling, long before he'd been initiated into the royal flock. About 300 years before the main storyline. Steller was a troublemaker of a dragon who was ravaging human villages and attracting the attention of the old King's hunters. While Atra was trying to live a peaceful, quiet nomadic life exploring human villages and anywhere in which art and creativity thrived. He lived for festivals and craftsmen and culture. Although he missed his flock, he was so so at peace exploring the world. Needless to say, for that exact reason, he and Steller didn't get along.

Fate strung them together like two threads in a colorful tapestry, together and apart constantly. Atra knew the struggle of losing something precious, the struggle of losing a part of yourself in the process, the confusion of not remembering it all. He understood more than anyone. They were together often by circumstance. Atra always wanted to show him the creativity of all these little humans, and monsters, but Steller never took him up on that.

Some 14 years before the main story, Atra is taken down in a human attack while flying in his true form. The new kings hear about the incident, as it was near the Capitol, and send out aid. Atra stays in the early beginnings of the migrant housing while healing. And while he does, a certain king takes a shining to him.

Atra sets off some months later, with allies in the capitol and fond memories... And as he would come to realize after about three months of travel, a souling. Atra has his son, Datas(Palette) in a peaceful little village, staying there for some months before setting off on a journey again. He doesn't exactly bother to mention to Cain that they have a son. He takes Datas off on all his little adventures to see the arts. Chance brings him and Steller together again, and well, as luck would have it, Steller is feeling a little tired of the same old fights. He asks Atra to show him his silly human arts and culture. Atra is overjoyed. He just so happens to realize, after he's asked this, that Atra now has a three year old child. He's not exactly sure how he missed that happening, but damn, okay.

"you... have a kid?"

"yup, his name is Datas."

"How the — wait — do not answer that. With whom...?"

"Well, his father isn't exactly around, he's a little busy. It was never a romance thing, if that's what you mean," Atra murmurs.

"oh, sorry, I didn't mean to... Ahm," Steller looks away.

"it's okay, he likes the festivals we go to... It's not all bad out here. I think you'll like it."

"I doubt it."

Atra smiles, "don't be so glum, there's much to see."

Atra drags Steller along on his artsy little adventures, sleeping together under blankets of stars, and incidentally, parenting Datas together. Eventually they stopped being co-parents and started being partners. It felt like a slow melt into something inevitable, but pleasant.

Eventually they tire of their constant journeying, and Atra finally deems it worth mentioning that Datas' father was Arcaine, one of the kings. And that he was formally invited into the royal flock about six years ago, but declined the offer. Steller is very unimpressed with him not mentioning this sooner.

thoughts on billie the kid: act 2

again, this is not a full synopsis, but it DOES follow the plot of the show, so big spoiler alert if you're going to see it! i just wanted to have my rough thoughts and notes laid out so that i can write up a full synopsis when the songs are all released, as my memory and audio processing aren't the best and i don't quite remember the show flawlessly. anywhore let's get into it!!

(trigger warnings for: mentions of attempted suicide, homophobia, transphobia and gun violence)

ough when yuki came back on stage to read the opening stage directions and the whole theatre cheered… “howdy yall >:3 you ready for more billie the kid?” I LOVE YOOOOOU

act 2 opens on a flashback of betty when she used to have a job. she used to be a dancer at this dive bar, had a good social circle and people who seemed to care about her – but the seeds of her illness are there. she tries to drink even though she’s pregnant and only stops when darlene rose (who’s a teacher at winchester creek high and used to be betty’s closest friend) stops her. darlene doesn’t treat this as a shocking thing for betty to be doing – she just sort of laughs it off and treats it as betty being a silly, quirky gal. but when we know how betty turns out, how hard she’s trying to keep herself afloat? It leaves such a bitter taste in your mouth.

when betty introduces her set to the bar she yells “how we all doin’ tonight!” and i (and i suppose a lot of other people) weren’t sure if we were allowed to cheer, so she goes “okay we gone try that again – HOW WE ALL DOIN’ TONIGHT!!!” and when we all cheered she went “how DID we fit so many people in a bar :3” oh jodie steele you scallywag…

(seriously for a gay man i was. really twirling my hair whenever jodie steele was on stage. omg haha ‘this many people in a bar’ you’re sooooooo funny teehee…)

they really did so well with betty’s character. she’s a sympathetic and hardworking woman who genuinely does want a better life for her and her daughter. ‘cowgirl thunder’ is about her wishes for herself and billie to have a better life undefined by their tragedies. she even says that she doesn’t care that her husband left her, as long as she has billie. her addiction doesn’t stem from her tragedy, it is an ILLNESS that no one paid any attention to until it was too late.

when ‘cowgirl thunder’ ends the lights fade in on billie centre-stage as the bar patrons leave, singing ‘cowgirl thunder’ alone, by herself at her school’s pep rally, with such dead eyes. when she gets offstage brodie asks if her mother showed up. she didn’t. “i really thought she’d show this time…” “yeah? i didn’t.” oh billie… i just want to hug her and tell her it’s gonna be okay.

milky abel sings this confederate song that i’m sure would’ve been more interesting to me if only my audio processing wasn’t so messed up. i really do wish i’d asked if i could get a transcript or something before coming but alas.

while milky sings, peaches and mouse are backstage getting their money from their client, big willy, who is just the sweetest and really does show that while the hatred in their hometown is the majority, the town in its entirety is not a lost cause.

when peaches and big willy trade their bags and make the sale:

ms banks: um – sir, who are you? big willy: … um- mouse: hey thanks for bringing me my backpack DAD!!!! big willy: uh – no problem, sweet… child o’ mine!

(big willy is an ally and I love him)

kelly, as she’s valedictorian, introduces the ‘best player’ award for brodie at the pep rally. brodie’s been stressing about this award for the whole show, it’s something billie’s been trying to hype him up about because he’s scared of what to say – and seeing kelly’s poisonous smile when she says ‘and now, our best PLAYER, brodie benson!’ curdled my gut.

as brodie accepts the award, kelly congratulates him and also says that as a special bonus for this year only, he’s also won an all expenses paid vacation… with a conversation therapy church camp. candy and mary-beth have party poppers and everything. the way my stomach dropped. the way brodie becomes so very small on that stage. they didn’t just humiliate him… they ACTUALLY gave his information to a church camp. brodie was put in so much danger here and they’re laughing about it.

i can’t remember well enough to quote it flawlessly, but I know kelly does fully announce on stage that brodie was cheating with david, throwing them both under the bus. but she really seems to phrase it like she’s protecting billie, using phrases like ‘did you think you could just get away with it?’, and it’s so horrifying to see kelly, who we've seen firsthand defending all her fellow winchester creek women so fiercely, take such twisted pride in throwing a vulnerable person under the bus.

billie: what’s the matter with you?! i told you to let it go! brodie: you told her…?

NOOOOOOOOOOO….

billie: we made a deal, i was going to stand by him! kelly: you would’ve just let him humiliate you like that?! come ON billie, have some self respect! just because you were raised in a trailer, doesn’t mean you have to act like trash!

oh FUCK… but honestly? yeah. doesn't surprise me. that’s always been it, hasn’t it? kelly has always been fine to defend billie and treat her well when she thought billie was a ‘good’ poor person. because billie didn’t complain too much or go against her at all. but now that billie is defying her? the gloves come off. she’s just trash.

‘poor white trash girl’ reprise while billie beats the shit out of kelly in slowmo?? FUCK yes.

and the way kelly IMMEDIATELY jumps to pressing charges when it’s all done, knowing full well she’s destroying the future that meant so much to billie, the future she confided in kelly about so much? doesn’t even phase her. the trailer trash girl hit her and she’s going to pay for it.

ms banks: she drew first blood. peaches: are you kidding me?! kelly started this, every day for every year that she’s been tormenting us – all of you are adults, and you did NOTHING, but the minute we fight back- ms banks: we? are you implying you were an instigator in this fight, ms harrison?

and then david pulls her away, hiding peaches behind him… oh peaches you try so hard to protect everyone but GOD…

i also really love how they write ms banks as a character. i could write ESSAYS on ms banks. at the start of the show, she’s a supportive teacher who has an obviously good relationship with her students, but we KNOW she's not. i mean for fucks sake, she’s introduced raising the confederate flag for memorial day on the side of the confederates, we KNOW she’s not a good person – but we only see her through billie's point of view. the way she’s so supportive of her students (her straight, white, ‘don’t rock the boat’ students who repeat exactly what she wants them to) and so encouraging towards billie to the point where billie feels comfortable talking about her relationship with her… but the MINUTE anyone steps out of line, the minute someone’s too queer, too poor, too loud, she turns on them. she threatens that ‘there aren’t many delinquents who get scholarships’ and starts ranting to ms rose about how she ‘can’t believe’ brodie and billie would ‘turn out that way’, saying that billie’s wound up ‘just like her mother’. because that that’s all her support ever was. keeping people in line with her beliefs.

i love that ms rose isn’t portrayed as being ms banks’ flawless counterpart. ms rose is flawed too – it would’ve been so easy to portray as this wiser, more sensible woman who the young whippersnappers should be listening to if they want to get anywhere, but no! she IS wrong on this one! she was wrong to turn her back on betty when her addiction grew worse, she was wrong to turn a blind eye when david got bullied to the point of suicide, and now she finally realizes that her innocent blind eyes are just allowing more kids to get hurt. she can make as many jokes as she wants about hating that they hang the confederate flag every memorial day, but unless she does something, she’s part of the problem. she may not understand these kids, but she knows they’re the future, and she knows she has to support them.

when billie’s chucked in jail ('like mother like daughter' SHUT THE FUCK UP UNNAMED POLICE OFFICER) she gets this beautiful moment where she just punches the walls and screams. i love that she’s allowed to express her rage so fiercely.

“are you a white trash girl or are you an outlaw?” […] “are you a good little housewife or a goddamn outlaw?” - GOD. that’s fucking it, isn’t it? that’s the only option. if you’re born trash the best you can hope to do is just stay in the lines, be good, keep your head down and nod politely at all the benevolent people who aren’t judging you as harshly as they could be – but the moment you step out of line? away you fucking go.

there’s a moment in ‘outlaw’ when the choreography is just so… VISCERAL. billie’s punching the floor, the walls, seizing, clutching her head, hitting herself, SCREAMING… i really hope they’re able to keep some of this ferocity when they record the songs in full. we deserve to see women expressing their rage. not just in that palatable hollywood-ified, stone-faced, non-intrusive, covered in blood but still making sure they look pretty enough ‘female rage’ way – we deserve to see women being loud and ugly and unpalatable in their fury and seeing the beauty in that. billie’s been forcing herself to fit neatly in the lines for so long – she deserves to go fucking crazy.

when billie’s mother finally turns up at school and ms rose lays into her, she immediately asks if betty’s drunk again. and it’s revealed that betty IS sober, she’s been sober for the entire time we’ve seen her throughout the show – and yet not even her once best friend wants to see the good in her. ms banks even admits later to billie when she gets her out of jail that she really did turn her back on betty because she thought people would lump her in with betty and assume she was another addict – and maybe if she’d just been there to support her, things wouldn’t’ve been as bad as they were.

but after this really earnest moment of an older woman recognizing her flaws and standing by her younger generation, we get ms banks again. she finds kelly at her locker and immediately starts sinking her hooks in. she does it slowly – she asks about kelly, how she’s feeling, if she’s not too hurt. and kelly confides in her about how upset she is that billie would do this to her when she was only trying to help defend her. and ms banks starts feeding her this narrative that of course billie has to stand by brodie, because that’s their agenda – you have to support gay people no matter what they do or you’re a bad person. that’s why she just got her first warning from ms rose! (totally not because she was badmouthing students and turning a blind eye to bigotry almost a week after a boy just came back to school after trying to kill himself due to rampant homophobia). so kelly, being as ignorant and privileged as she is, is horrified – “so we have to just sit back and let them do and say whatever they want, but we can’t even speak our mind about it?” and ms banks is so clearly offering her such FAKE wisdom, but the way she says it, soft-spoken and understanding, it makes sense that kelly would believe her when she’s justifying everything kelly did as if they’re the only two reasonable people in the world. it’s chilling, seeing ms banks spread her brainwashing so easily and watching kelly lock herself in an echo chamber so willingly as long as it means she gets to be right.

‘not your slave’ is such a genius song for ms banks to sing. taking all this victim-imagery and using it for her own privileged self. making herself out to be this defiant hero when in the background, mouse runs in to hide peaches’ bag of money in her locker, only for kelly to find them, rip the bag from their hands and attack them when they try to get it back, fully slamming their head into her locker.

when mouse falls backwards, clutching their head, david runs in and grabs them, looking at kelly with such hatred before deciding that what’s important is getting mouse out of there.

the conversation milky abel and brodie have was – again – an incredible example of how easy it would’ve been for this show to go with the tropes. at first it really does seem like they’re going to do the ‘love, simon’ thing; milky starts ranting that brodie’s been lying to him since they were six, so clearly he’s in the wrong, right? but that logic falls apart so easily - “milky, when i was six, i didn’t even know gay was a thing you could be. and when i did, i already knew how you’d react.” milky does try to brush this off – “well, maybe you didn’t! maybe i didn’t know how i’d react!” but when brodie says “well, here we are. and no matter what, i hope you get past this, because-“ “don’t you dare-“ “i still love you, brother-“ and milky goes to attack him. brodie puts his hands up at his sides and milky doesn’t do anything, but the point’s been proven. all brodie’s doing is existing as he is. and because milky’s too stubborn to try and understand, he goes straight to fighting. he lets brodie go and storms off, but this has clearly affected him.

god when mouse comes back on stage… and they’re all patching them up… david with a pack of frozen peas and peaches holding them so tight… it’s horrible but it’s also so beautiful… the show somehow balances the sheer tragedy of the queer experience and the pride, camaraderie and joy of it all.

“what were you thinking? normally it’s me getting beat up and you patching me up afterwards…” - i need an entire miniseries dedicated to peaches mouse and david’s family dynamic.

“i’m gonna wear these with pride. it’s a hard rite of passage… for weird boys in small towns.” – this is the point where I started crying and just did not stop.

oof milky confronting kelly… he’s trying man he’s a little confused but he’s got the spirit:

"and peaches’ little brother-“ “oh, you mean peaches’ trans-gender-non-conforming-alien-freak-of-nature?!” - kelly GIRL you have got to calm down.

“and what you did to mouse-“ “mouse?! listen to how you’re TALKING about it!!”

“peaches’ brother – sister – WHATEVER-“

HE’S CONFUSED BUT HE GOT THE SPIRIT!!!

god kelly gets SO defensive the moment milky tells her to just leave off…

“well why don’t you go marching in a pride parade with them, hm?” “what are you saying?” “you and brodie were always close. you can go hand in hand. you and brodie, just like always.” - GOD the way kelly so easily goes from just being plain ignorant to spreading this fear rhetoric GIRL… i really thought this would be it for milky I really didn’t think he’d keep changing after this, i figured he’d get scared and stop. but no!! he keeps making progress!! he finds billie and tells her that he and kelly hid peaches’ money in his locker, he tells her the combination, he tells her that he loves kelly but messing with drug money, what she did to brodie and hurting a little kid just isn’t right.

“tell the little one i’m sorry. it never should’ve come to this.” – HE RECOGNIZES THE PART HE PLAYED IN ALL THE HATRED HE SPREAD… HE RECOGNIZES THAT, INTENTIONAL OR NOT, HE PLAYED A PART IN THIS… HE REALLY DOES HAVE POTENTIAL FOR CHANGE AND HE'S TAKING THAT OPPORTUNITY NOW...

after fixing up mouse, david goes to break into kelly’s locker to get the money back. he’s so frantic when he can’t find it – “no, no, no, where is it, it HAS to be here!!!” … and then ms banks finds him. i am mostly going to paraphrase their confrontation because i can't remember it flawlessly but it's important to me that i have it written down:

david: its not what it looks-

ms banks: it looks to me like you were targeting kelly again.

david: targeting…? like she targeted me?!

ms banks: that's different! i know people like you, david, and you stir the pot! you know you do. there is something... wrong with you, david. something twisted deep inside. you’re sick.

stop. stop stop stop. 'cause isn't that the thing we're all afraid of? that we deserved it all? that if we'd just been a little more normal, maybe people would've let us be?

none of you are ready for saint david. hes lifted up by brodie and milky like christ on the cross. hes on his knees before his homophobic teacher being told that he deserved everything he got for stirring the pot so much, what did he expect, hes SICK. hes thrashing in rage and disgust and beating himself as he sobs. youre not ready.

“you make me feel like a saint, o, david… you are a pervert. and you make me feel like a saint, o, david, you are my favourite.” – the way ms banks sings this to him, so twistedly happy to see what was once a proud and determined boy beaten down, kneeling at her feet, punished for being so ‘disgusting’.

and david still has the gun. the gun that billie promised would keep him safe. he is a saint. he’s the patron saint of every queer in winchester creek and he’s going to make things right for them.

“hey kelly… how much did your daddy have to pay to get you into duke?” – get her ass, david. even if kelly is their valedictorian, how did she get that? because she was able to pay her way to do it. she was able to afford tutors, to go to camps, etc etc, and if she missed the mark, her father could always grease the wheels for her – meanwhile billie’s sleeping four hours a night just to keep her lights on and fight for her full-ride scholarship.

kelly: i can give you the money – it’s in milky’s locker, i’ll give you the combination-

david: don’t lie to me!

billie: she’s not lying, david, i found it! the money’s all here, you don’t have to do this, just put the gun down-

david: shut up, just SHUT UP!

GOD. of course he doesn’t want to see reason! why should he see reason?! he’s been put through fucking hell for years just trying to be himself – he deserves to go off the rails. he wants to make everyone else feel the way he felt just trying to live his own life. there’s no justice for him here, so he has to make it himself.

david trying to take the shot is terrifying. he’s so frightened. “i’ll… i’ll look down the barrel,” he says, reciting everything billie taught him. “and you won’t hurt anyone again… and the world will be a better place for it…”

“you think this ends with kelly? david, don’t do this. xon’t let someone like kelly make you throw your life away. get out of here. live your life. live beautiful. hell, live ugly. just LIVE.” “… what am i doing-?”

yeah. i sobbed. cause isn’t that all we want? just the ability to live our own lives? beautiful and ugly as they are? and we’re put through hell for wanting that every day. of course it drives us to the brink.

“it’s okay, it’s all gonna be okay, david, i’m sorry-“ “no, it's ME! there's - there's something wrong with me, billie…” god. it’s so fucking devastating to see someone who was so proud, so determined, truly believe that there is no hope for him in this world. i’ve been there, man. it's awful to see. we can put on a brave face but god, we just want to be accepted.

the ‘confederate fag’ reprise… david, through tears, trying to convince himself that his life can still come true after everything. he just has to hold on a little more.

god when kelly gets the gun. it’s so different with her. what does it matter if she shoots david? she still gets to live her life. we’ve seen it. maybe she wouldn’t get into duke, but she’d still have her happy southern girl life. she doesn’t have the same desperation david does – she’s driven only by hatred. “he spread it to brodie – i won’t let him spread it to my milky!” – THAT’s what’s driving her. a need to get rid of anything that doesn’t fit into her views. so how do you reason with that?

kelly: get away, youre DISGUSTING!

david, through tears: no. i’m beautiful.

yes you are-

billie standing between david and the gun. “if you want him, you’ll have to get me first... there aren't many school shooters at duke, kelly.” this is what allyship fucking means.

jesus christ, marching up to kelly, shoving the gun between her own eyes like a cowboy in a standoff, telling kelly to look down the barrel and DO IT… billie belle is the insane girlboss musical theatre tumblr needs. she has zero self-preservation and a moral compass stronger than god and she will use those powers to KICK ASS and protect vulnerable communities 😌

betty finding billie after the stand off and refusing to leave her alone – she’s shown up now and she’s not leaving. she’s GOING to be here. and god, when she gives billie the scholarship letter she spent so long hiding from her because she was so scared of losing her… the way she tries to hold it together when billie's almost in tears of relief to know she's getting out of town...

“my white trash girl… my billie the kid…” WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

again, i’m so glad they gave billie the opportunity to process all this on her own terms. she’s allowed to tell her mother “we’re talking about this later – but i just can’t do this right now”. she’s not obligated to forgive or be the bigger person. she’s allowed to take time to process everything that’s happened between her and her mother.

god when mouse comes on stage to sing their solo in ‘like a saint’… that's me. that kid is me. that little fourteen year old trans kid reminiscing about playing with their action men and their barbies, staining the dress they didn't want to wear, plucking daisies from a field and wearing them like a crown for a king - they're me and i'm them and we are each other and that is eternal. daisies, baby. we keep rising up and there's no getting rid of us.

i love all the creek kid's little interactions in 'like a prayer'. billie RUNNING in to hug mouse in their seat, peaches calling brodie 'brodie BAD BITCH benson', david telling billie he'll never forget what she did for him... man. a family can really be just a white trash girl, a cowboy cheerleader, a saint, a peach and a mouse.

billie deciding to stay with her mother is really beautiful and honestly a pretty satisfactory end for her character – her only motivation to leave was to get a general business degree because she didn’t think there was anything for her in winchester creek. but now she realizes that that’s not what she wants, there IS something for her here and she WILL have the opportunity to do something she truly does want to do.

(but also… yikes my working-class scholarship-student heart CLENCHED when she turned down the scholarship. billie you better turn your ass back around-)

“let’s make a deal – no matter where we are, no matter what’s happened, we’ll meet back at this old creek once a year.” “i’ll do you one better – anytime, anyplace, ANYWHERE but winchester creek.” and they did :’)

the epilogue is so fucking beautiful. "i wish i could say things got better for us…" and they don’t. they don’t pretend like surviving their high school and leaving their bigoted town ended all the hatred they experience. the epilogue literally opens on kelly having a talkshow where she smugly declares that gender affirming care is now a felony in multiple states. but even if things aren’t perfect now, they’ve kept going. betty gets a job at the truck stop, milky abel got a dog (‘that’s a big deal round here!’) and mary-beth ‘got serious about wanting to save people… she’s now a safety officer at seaworld 😌’

'ms banks got fired... i think she's home-schooling now.' - man it sucks to know ms banks is now more able to sink her claws into young impressionable people and make a hundred more kellys in the world to spread her hatred, but... yeah. it's real. this is what happens. this is the sad reality. there's very little justice for the people who create the environment of our suffering, and i'm glad this show wasn't afraid to show that truth for what it is.

‘and even though it took seven years of college, law school and LSATS… i just passed the state bar. with a speciality in human rights law.’ – OUR GIRL IS A LAWYER YALL… BILLIE THE FUCKING KID SPREADING CHANGE AND LIBERATION WHEREVER SHE GOES!!!!!

david: and we got shitty jobs, bad boyfriends-

peaches: GREAT girlfriends-

mouse: and messy one-night stands but we also got TESTOSTEROOOOONE-

MOUSE PULLS AND GETS THE CARE THEY DESERVE BABY!!!

‘we lived beautiful. hell, we lived ugly. but we lived.’ – jesus fucking christ. they lived. after everything, they lived. ryan kopel don’t do this to me you can’t do this to me oh god-

‘and we kept our promise! Every year, once a year, we’d meet up – anytime, anyplace, ANYWHERE but winchester creek… except today.’ – and then the cast behind her unfurls a banner… ‘WINCHESTER CREEK PRIDE 2023’. i’ll say it. i wept.

‘and i love you ‘cause you’re amazing… and i love you ‘cause you’re strong… if it’s hell or heaven you’re raising… well, we just keep marching on…’

fuck yeah, man. we’re daisies and we keep marching on.

Can... Can we get some enemies to lovers headcanons for you and All Might?

Oh boy. So uh. Welcome to the MySpace Universe.

General personality headcanons:

Rian aka Warp Space is a young and spirited hero in a mission in Japan to try to take down The World's Number One Villain. He knew he was probably in over his head... And yeah he was right, but he wasn't a quitter.

All Might is that villain, and he's a rough and tumble bastard who was not expecting a cute little portal-maker to try to go one on one with him. It would have been insulting... If the younger man wasn't so fucking adorable.

Rian has a day job at a coffee shop to keep the lights on, since he's young and "expendable" and going largely unpaid for his troubles.

All Might tracks him down and starts visiting the coffee shop in disguise. He knows everything about Rian, thanks to his extensive network of allies.

Rian knows fuck-all about him, since the Villain wears a mask and uses a voice modulator.

All Might is absolutely fucking fascinated by this odd little American who seems to have nothing but pure hubris and adorable determination on his side.

Warp Space is convinced that he can win EVENTUALLY. He just has to come up with a plan. And get All Might to let him catch him by surprise.

That will not be happening, because the villain is having way too much fun.

Most of their "fights" end up being playful little spars and witty banter, where All Might takes the kid just seriously enough to make it look convincing on camera. Wouldn't want him to get fired and sent back, after all.

Relationship Headcanons:

All Might swears up and down he was joking at first. He was just pulling people's legs. He was just being teehee haha funny... But the fact remains that when he first asked the young barista out and took him to The Mighty Need Bar to parade him in front of the other villains... They got along really well. Too well.

Rian ended up getting a big crush on the nice older man with beautiful eyes and an oddly familiar way of speaking. It also helped that this man frequently left him $20 tips, and the young hero was too much of a gentleman to let that go without thanking him in some way... What harm could one date do?

The morning afterward when Rian and Toshinori both woke up slightly hungover in the older man's bed, with nothing but bed sheets covering them and no less than 3 used condoms in the vicinity, they both realized that sometimes a joke and an act of gratitude could both be taken a liiiiiittle too far.

But in for a penny in for a pounding, they started dating. Rian still didn't know the man's identity. Toshinori didn't plan on telling him.

But boy if those saucy rooftop confrontations didn't suddenly seem a little more flirtatious.

To the point where, more than once, the hero found himself pinned to a wall by very strong arms while All Might monologued to high heaven about shit like The Weather.

And...

Things took a turn one day when Rian was at the coffee shop the day after a """fight""', sporting a black eye that All Might very much did not give him.

"What happened, Kitten?!" "Nothing, I'm fine." "Don't give me that. Who did it?" "All Might." "Not that I don't think you're tough, but if one of that guy's punches had connected your head would have been blown clean off. Who. Did. It?" "Just... Just this guy that walks by sometimes when I'm on my way home. He saw me putting my wallet in my pocket. That's it." "I'm driving you home after work. You're grabbing some of your stuff, and then staying at my place for a while." "I... Are you sure?" "Very."

The dude was never seen again except on a Missing poster, and Rian's staying over went so well that they ended up moving in together... With Rian still not realizing who he was living and sleeping with.

Aaaand that's as far as this AU goes at the moment.

🐍💚Shang Tsung sfw abcs hcs💚🐍

Cw: may be a few things here n there. Maybe a death mention. And cussing. But none really you should be alarmed by. Y'all should know by now if you read the rules.

💚🐍💚🐍💚🐍💚🐍💚🐍💚🐍💚🐍💚🐍💚

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?): well shang at first isn't the most...physically affectionate guy. But he over time is. He is more acts of service and quality time and gift giving type of guy. And words of affirmation like physical affection,is more so over time than initially. But in private,he is more so affectionate than in public but especially in front of his adversaries...at least at first. But don't worry,its not because he doesn't love you. He's just cautious is all. But also he may show you off too. It really really depends on the "type" of relationship you have too. The closer and more intimate,the more protective and territorial he may become. Again he can be physically affectionate,just give him some time. Tho he isn't the one to say no 100% if you are the "huggy" type. He finds this endearing believe it or not. But again getting it back may take some time and trust build up.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?): ok you want shang as your friend. Because him as an enemy is most unwise. But he's a good ally. When you can have him as one. Again he's a slippery snake. So be cautious. But a genuine friendship with him? Omg loyal till you give a reason not to be. He'd kill a man for you...plz dont shang.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?): in private. Of course. (Again he is a show off buuuuut within reason)

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?): well he has servents,so most of the time they do these things for you two. but he's pretty chill when he's domestic. He's actually a pretty doting husband. Surprisingly as that is to some people. But he does tend to you as you to him. Again he has servents to do so but sometimes he wants to actually spoil his beloved you know? He wants to make you a meal or tea every now n then. Just let him when he does ok? Somft shang is a good thing remember? (Less trouble for everyone else) (he's not that lazy ok?)

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?): just leaves. Look i aint gonna sugar coat that. But he'd be devastated. May go on a rampage. Depending on how you left. If you were killed in a tournament or worse by his enemies. Oh elder gods help them because he's about to flip his shit! If you just left because you wanna "break up" . It wouldn't be easy to say the least. But honestly i don't know what his reaction would be. Because it could be many things. Honestly shang may even just cry,we dunno with him. He's an enigma of emotions. But either way it would hurt. Also why do you wanna do that? Bruh you got it good with shang tsung,wealth,power,status,a whole island yo yourself,an no offense shang tsung is a gorgeous man. Even shang in his foxy grandpa look is pretty good looking. And rejuvenated shang tsung is a fucking babe! An absolute hunk! Why in elder gods name would you break up with that?! What's wrong with you?!

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?): once he makes up his mind about you. You damn well bet you're gonna be Mrs.Tsung soon. I'm sorry once he is in deep,he is absolutely obsessed about you. Your soul is his! Lol

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?): to his lover? Like the softest petals. To his enemies? Bitter and ruthless.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?): at first he's gonna be like "what is this?!" But he'll be tsundere af about it. Over time he's "omfg plz hug me T_T" but as soon as his adversaries come in the vicinity. He may be back to tsundere. But you know,only you knows ♡ ^-^ teehee

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?): tbh it may be a bit to say it. He'll show it before saying it. Buuuuut he while being the snake he is. He is serious about love. Once he says it. He means it. (Tbh shang saying i love you for the first time would have me all 🥺💖)

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?): ahahahahha! Let's just say don't push your luck with the dark sorcerer. If someone he doesn't like,or at worst yet,hates. Breathes wrong in your direction. There'll be hell to pay. Don't make him your enemy. Ever.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?): i hc his kisses to be passionate,sweet,soft but in control. He definitely knows what he's doing honey. He loves to kiss the crook of your neck or neck in general. Lips of course. And your hand. He is a classy man after all. He loves it when you kiss him anywhere really. Forehead kisses are sweet and reassuring to him. Hand kissing is respectful. But if he's feeling spicy,his inner thigh. ;) ♡

L = Little ones (How are they around children?): indifferent. He doesn't hate them. But he doesn't harm them,and actually finds that abhorrent. (Despite all his other atrocities),he'd rather not have kids if he can help it. but if he did had children of his own officially? Oh he's a proud pappa. And always makes sure his kids are given the best,nothing less. Again,not to say he couldn't or wouldn't want children. It's just more of he doesn't want them to get hurt,considering of what he is,what he does,his enemies,the fact mortal kombat could have anytime and anywhere. Yeah. Not a place for tiny ones. But again,if that happens. He would want you to go through with it if you so choose. And he will be there every step of the way. Again he's not broken up if you have or don't have kids. This to him is entirely up to you,and even if you change your mind and want out of said pregnancy before it becomes a problem, he will also support that decision as well(yeah i said it! Shang is pro choice. Fuck what ya think!!!). Either way he leaves the whole thing for you to decide.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?): calm,serene. A cup of tea. Silk sheets. Finest luxury.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?): same but steamier. Sometimes nightly walks in his garden.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?): it truly depends. But most of the time,tbh. It's slow. But it's on a need to know basis at first and at his own terms. Until trust is established. But once he's made up his mind. Like i said. Oof freight train hits you with the knowledge and affection.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?): depends on who you are and the situation. But dont press your luck honey. But he'd never harm his beloved. At least on purpose. He is patient until you push him not to be.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?): oh he wants to know evvvvvverything about you. And shang tsung will remember that.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?): well in my self ship with him. I guess him just opening up to me. Or the day i practically became his queen in a way i guess.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?): oh boy. Well he is definitely protective. Nobody is gonna fuck with you as shang tsungs wife/spouse. Like he is the type to get really pissed at someone for messing with his queen. While normally his is cunning,calm,and collected even angered in a fight. With you....oh no,that simply won't do. He's quiet or hot angered words. Stinging you in every way. He will bring hell upon anyone who dares to go against him and his beloved. Like he's ruthless. Not just your soul he will take,he will destroy it. He expects the same from you/reader as his beloved.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?): all the effort. How he gets it or affords it. He is loaded. Canonlly he is. Very wealthy,mostly from his time serving shao kahn i assume.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?): well......a lot of things tbh. But a tame one might be smoking hookah.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?): he takes pride in his appearance. He always smells and looks good.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?): he would be crushed. He may become even more vengeful and unhinged than before. Oof. Plz halp him.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.): he writes poetry,and loves tending to his bonsai tree. Also has a house shrine he prays to. Even tho he is a sorcerer of the dark arts. He still has his beliefs in a way. There is a sliver of shang tsung that hopes that maybe people will see the one truth in life,one certainty in life. Is death. And to live life in its fullest and become more powerful than you were yesterday is the only goal one should have. At least he used to believe heavily. Deep down he wants power but because simply he was told he was never to amount to greatness.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?): well he loves canonlly strong willed women and women who are sassy and holds her own. Not necessarily in fighting,but in spirit and attitude. But i think he wouldn't like a woman who is too harsh either? I dunno. He likes balance. If you can't fight,he will teach you to hold yourself in battle. Because no wifey of shang will not know basic defense. Also the harder you play "coy" or "hard to get" the harder he will chase. He definitely expects you to defend him not just physically but also defend his name and word too.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?): he loves sleeping in the nude. But on occasionally he will wear his robes and silk undergarments.

ok so fun au.

tldr tiamat becomes a god, but becomes is a loose word. it could also be debated if she became one at all. but she was there, and then the god was there, and she was no longer there. arguably

ok memeing aside the au branches off my established canon where zenos does not show up to save the day, and instead tam gets a gigantic power-up to confront the endsinger personally. the overwhelming hope and faith invested into her by her loved ones and everyone back home are made into pure dynamis for her to weaponize thanks to meteion's realm. there's a 1v1 and she wins and things resume game canon when she goes to confront meteion after the fight, etc etc

it's the power-up specifically that gets done Too Right, and my cause is azem's summoning power. in the game we use it to summon allies for the fight, but in this case tiamat already has an ungodly (teehee) amount of dynamis through hers and the scions' efforts to use. it's the effects of the summoning magic (which was done unknowingly as azem was able to make a presence during the fight with endsinger) that link her to the other reflections, pulling Their hope and will to survive and condensing it all into a singular being in mere seconds.

rather than powering up from the wishes of her home, she causes a chain reaction that fairly literally summons the stars to her, where she becomes the axis of those same emotions, reforged as dynamis, across reflections and all drawn together. and that kind of power simply does not exist organically and can't exist without needing to rewrite a few things to make room

to try to summarize: tiamat accidentally embodies the very concept of hope as a form of power-- so literally that it utterly destroys her in every aspect. there is no deus ex madoka happening here. she no longer exists. or perhaps does :^)

the god that's created at that moment personifies will and mankind's determination to live alongside hope, which is... a given. i use she/they pronouns for her bc while tiamat was used as her foundation, her existence is born from the hearts of humanity as a whole, and thus in impossible amounts across countless lifetimes. i imagine them talking using a handful of voices, cycling through each other (of course tiamat's is always present, lucky her) and using both "i" and "we" when referring to themselves. it depends on the context of what they're talking about.

and there's a bit of an issue! bc gods don't just spontaneously pop up and she is VERY MUCH a deity. like, as straight forward of a god as possible. she shapes reality like meteion can in ultima thule, though on a much grander scale, and is driven by humanity's faith in life and living to act accordingly (she answers to no one but that's her domain so she's invested). it can even be debated if she has an individual self at all, or if she's an amalgamation of personalities, especially considering her manner of speech. the world may never know

either way there's a whole ass new god there now and the warrior of light is kaput. i emphasize this heavily bc it's about to come to a head. by this point tiamat doesn't exist anymore, and everything she was served as a framework and focal point for this shiny new deity to be born. as you can imagine the scions are less than thrilled about that, and even lesser less than when the god of hope explains what happened in greater detail. don't get them wrong tho, SHE'S not upset about anything! far from it! she's utterly content and at peace with everything and everyone. her happiness is genuine and is a direct reflection of her domain and the authority she wields over it.

and the scions are doing silly things like crying and grieving and all she can do is watch them and then ask in a chorus of living voices following the footsteps of the dead: "what do you want?" and they don't understand. she explains again what she is. hers and their reason for being and the singular (infinite) wish(es) that resulted in this new existence. and she and they ask again. "what is your hope?" "what is it you must see come to fruition?" "what is it you'll overcome every obstacle for?" "what do you desire so fervently, that you will give and give every part of yourself, if only to see it once more?" "to what claim shall you leave your seeded garden?"

for whom will you demand of life: you will not take this from me

the deity hums and gleams with delight as the final piece slots into place, and the scions realize what they're implying. and they can all agree very readily on what they want, above all else: for their friend to return, for her to live, so they can all go home together

and it's not that simple to undo and redo and sidestep, and nothing ever truly is, but this nameless god is the embodiment of making miracles happen through sheer unrelenting willpower. they reach into themselves, they reach into the scions, they reach in and pluck and thread reality against its established weave, and with merely an inhaled prayer of love, tiamat exists once more. she's exactly as she was before her apotheosis, so a little roughed up but still just fine all things considered. she's unable to wake while the god sees her, tiamat sees them and is bound by threads of threads to everyone, but that's an easy enough fix. they cannot blink out of existence like a mortal, are too much of a principle, but they can become her and her breath and her life, and the breath of others and their beating hearts and hopes and life flourishing.

they sleep, and tiamat wakes up extremely confused as to why everyone's clinging onto her and crying. also how the hell did they all get back to the ship. she was just talking to meteion a second ago. zenos might have been there too idk

(the horror part kicks in when tiamat realizes she’s no longer a person, much less herself, and no matter how much she kicks and screams and fights and bleeds, she will always return to the origin point)

#ffxiv #ew spoilers #i nicknamed them 'the herald of dawn' which some of u might remember #but they don't have a name yet i gotta think about it #a name is too limiting for something such as her

supernatural s13e19 funeralia (w. steve yockey)

this angle makes her look tinier than usual, just put her in my pocket

CASTIEL We must assemble our most powerful allies to rescue our family and confront the Archangel Michael. Now, he's in an alternate universe so-- ROWENA Ah, the handsome angel is there, isn’t he? Hello tweety pie. CASTIEL Um, hello.

well that made me laugh, how awkward he got. also thanks for the plot quick reference, because with all the stuff included in the recap i get confused. too much stuff i don't care about makes brain go zzz

SAM Rowena, are you at a... party or something? ROWENA I am, but I’m surprised you recognise the sounds of a party, seeing as how you're all work and no play

literally. i know i know, but like we've spent so many hours with them lol and no fun!

CASTIEL You know, she’s right. You never go to parties.

LOL well we're on the same page

(this from the recap, i don't remember this at all!)

rowena setting someone on fire magically in full view of a crowd is a choice

CASTIEL Yes. Yeah. This would be something of a Hail Mary. DEAN Hmm. CASTIEL It’s a sports term, like slam dunk or, uh... ball handler. DEAN That’s, uh… Mnh-mnh. No, I don’t think it's a good idea.

ok, but ball handler is a sports term that you could use without it having any double entendre 😞 (obviously can too but) weird choice.

CASTIEL Well, Dean, we don’t have any good ideas. DEAN Okay, just... let’s just not barrel through with that like, uh, you know, like the Donatello thing. CASTIEL We had our disagreement, but we got results. DEAN That don’t make it okay. CASTIEL I hear your concerns, and yes, the angels loathe me, and there’s going to be dangers, but Heaven doesn’t want the world to end any more than we do.

appreciate the reminder that they had a disagreement and donatello's brain got zapped by cas because i definitely forgot.

SAM We don’t know what this is yet. Maybe she had a reason to-- DEAN Doesn’t matter what the reason is. That’s not okay! SAM Okay, I said if Rowena goes bad again I’d deal with it, so I’ll deal with it. DEAN You better. Cas, you wanna try this angel thing, then go for it. Just don’t get dead again.

i mean, in their world there could definitely be a good reason, just wouldn't necessarily expect rowena to have one. dean's being kind of an ass to everyone. though i suppose he did have that little tantrum at the end of the last episode so, ~continuity~

LOL was that a heavenly brownout? mid-series heavenly politics was a guaranteed blanking out on my part but like. i just haven't really cared about the main plot in so long it's all getting kind of blanked out unless it's sam and dean specific

DEAN Yeah, she’s a reaper. She tried to take me into the light. Didn’t work out. JESSICA It really didn’t. And honestly it’s been a little sad watching you go this long without telling Sam about me. SAM Hold on a second. What do you mean "watching?"

obviously the watching is the big creeper factor but also i guess was a little surprised we didn't get a reaction to the dean didn't tell sam something bit

JESSICA Well, after Dean’s little trip to the Veil, Death asked me to keep an eye on you two, in case. DEAN In case of what? JESSICA This, I guess. I don’t ask Death questions. Never goes well. SAM So what, you-- you’ve just been... hovering around us, invisible, like a-- like a baby sitter? JESSICA No, no more like a baby monitor.

or stalker

SAM And-- and you’ve seen, um... JESSICA Oh, everything. DEAN You mean, like, everything everything? JESSICA I’m especially fond of Sam’s impressive… extensive array of hair products. [looks at Dean] Not to mention, the three day old bacon cheeseburger in your room, or the VHS tape hidden under your bed labeled "Sweet Princess Asuka Meets the Tentacles of Ple--"

like teehee gonna allude to a sam has a big dick joke, and out dean's specific kinky porn preference (which didn't we just have this tentacle conversation) - where. i know, this isn't real life, it's some whatever the fuck a reaper is (i thought they were a type of angel but then i feel like a recent episode they said they weren't) and maybe if it's cas who just still seems mostly mystified by humans despite being one for a hot minute, it wouldn't be as creepy. but she's talking like she clearly understands why what she's saying is a huge invasion of privacy and upsetting. and okay she's not on their side, maybe she is tired of being the baby monitor for the dumb humans. but as someone myself who's been monitored against my will in what should be private spaces, that really doesn't sit well with me. i get it's just supposed to be a joke, but no thanks. sigh

JESSICA If just one person dies before their time, a lot of things that were supposed to happen, don’t. The ripple effect from just one early death can affect hundreds of lives. And changing their fates changes even more fates until things just become sincerely unfortunate, and we have to hit the reset button. SAM What does that mean? JESSICA Usually? A mass kill off. Like the Black Plague or a mid-sized war. Something to wipe the board clean. So… your help in avoiding that would be greatly appreciated, by everyone.

sure. combined with the world-destroying-aspirations of au!michael, whatever the fuck is going on with heaven having too few angels, lucifer doing who the fuck can remember, needing to rescue everyone in the au, we also need to do something or ELSE plague/war/extinction event. exhausted

and the reunion tour continues.... fucking naomi, great. why not

CASTIEL No, no we didn’t, because you stole my memories, and you threatened to "tear me apart," and you made me repeatedly act out Dean Winchester’s murder, and you killed many, many people.

let's hear it for not forgetting/immediately forgiving someone's awful deeds

NAOMI That's right. We're all... Every angel is like a walking, talking battery. [the lights fluctuate again] And that is what happens when we run out of power.

ok. before it was the human souls that were batteries, back in ye olde s6 (i even included morpheus and the coppertop in a recap)

NAOMI Well, then, let me make it divinely simple for you. There are a grand total of nine angels in Heaven, present company included, and one or two on Earth, and... that's all. We are the last men and women and divine waves of light still standing, as it were.

excuse me WHAT. NINE??? listen, ok. you know i have zero religious experience, i've never been to church. however, this song by johnny cash, when the man comes around (a banger, truly) i know it took from the bible and (via wikipedia):

The chorus indicates that these events will be accompanied by trumpets (as in Revelation 8, 9, 11), pipers (Rev. 18:22), and "one hundred million angels singing". The voice of the Lord in Revelation is often likened to the sound of a loud trumpet (Revelation 1:10; 4:1; and 8:13). Revelation 5:11 states that John saw that there are millions of angels in Heaven.

so i'm like, this is my knowledge of just how many angels there are 😂 and we're down to NINE!!!

NAOMI Without him, in time we’ll burn out. Heaven will crumble, and all the souls that have been entrusted to our care will fall back to earth. Picture it, Castiel-- billions upon billions of ghosts unleashed upon the world. All that chaos, all that death.

🙄add it to the list of impending catastrophies ✅ (they need some soul to angel battery converter)

rowena is trying to get crowley back....? hokay

DEAN Where the hell is my brother?!

never gets old

SAM No. Rowena. I know what you went through and I know how much you lost and I realize how much you want your family back. But don’t do this. This... this... This is not you. Not any more. ROWENA What happened to me, those were my choices. But Fergus never… It wasn’t fair.

what.

BILLIE You were never going to kill him. There was a time you would've, but not now. I can see that. ROWENA I don’t know what I’m doing

BILLIE Sometimes life is unfair, and sometimes we lose things. And sometimes we make mistakes. And some of these things can never be fixed, no matter how powerful you become. Some things just are, and everyone has to live with that.

what? we're supposed to buy this sudden personality 180?

ROWENA I fought Death and lost. I feel tired. Weaker. I don’t know if it’s forever. Sam, what have I done? SAM You had a chance to kill me and you didn’t. I’d call that progress. DEAN I’d call that a miracle. [Dean and Rowena exchange looks] SAM You know, what happened with Crowley? That wasn’t your fault. ROWENA He never had a chance. DEAN He made his choices, just like we all do. Look, every one of us has done something that we have to live with, that were trying to make up for. Every one of us. SAM Even without all that extra juice, you’re still the deadliest witch around. ROWENA Flatterer. SAM Yeah, well, we, um... we may need your help. To save our family. To… hell, to save the world. DEAN You wanna be redeemed? This would be a pretty big step. ROWENA And do you think I still can be? DEAN Yeah, I do.

i mean. who cares about character development, let's just slam through this redemption and reconciliation arc in a big showdown in one episode? unless there's some long game, this is just. hard to swallow
