Chidi’s existence in The Good Place is the equivalent to the line in Boo, Bitch about every ghost story making up their own ghost rules, aka they’re the reasons I don’t see the twist coming.

Prompt 167

Honestly, Danny is having such a good time right now. He gets to travel with Ellie, explore space, just have fun. Plus his secondary protector-instincts are having soothed despite him not technically doing any hero-ing anymore. Really his sister had the right idea when she decided she wanted to become a doctor, this is honestly a blast.

And if someone does end up passing away, well, Ellie is always happy to help soothe their spirit and guide them to the Realms where they can reach their respective afterlife. Or become a ghost.

They are completely oblivious to the fact that there are now legends and entire temples dedicated to them now. Apparently accidental ascension is in fact a thing, as Dan later laughs at them about.

#prompts #Dcxdp #dpxdc #Dan was already thought of as a god of destruction & change #He’s laughing at his ‘siblings’ for making them a trio #So many planets throughout time now include 3 gods/spirits/etc in their worship under different names but similar faces #One of those planets was Krypton #Clark’s parents prayed to Dan-El the Healer that their son would be safe and in good health wherever he went #They prayed to El-Nath the Guide that his journey would be safe & that she would not have to guide him to the afterlife instead #They prayed to Jor-Dan the Destroyer that they’re wrong and if not that their planet’s End is a merciful one #Clark finds this out when researching stuff from his ship/the Fortress #Hey that’s kind of funny he saw a similar looking being floating among the stars when he first tested leaving the atmosphere hehe #....... W a i t a minute-#Space Core Danny #Moon Core Ellie #Sun Core Dan #Look Jazz’s dream in canon is to become a brain surgeon and I think she deserves to be able to do that #Medical school is hard AF #Danny apprenticed under Frostbite & So Many Realms ghosts who are Very Eager to pass on their knowledge

girl help asoiaf tiktok just found out rhaenyra was fat in the books. discourse falling somewhere between ‘well as a big girl there’s nothing wrong with that! and daemon didn’t have any complaints ;)’ ‘it’s green propaganda and classic hypocrisy! aegon was also fat’ and ‘in medieval times people would have found fat rhaenyra more beautiful than thin alicent! ahistorical fatphobia’. do you think during a war that caused famine and horrific levels of suffering among the peasantry both the royal figureheads being fat is apolitical. do you think it was still admirable when the people were starving. ‘i can’t believe the french revolution fatshamed aristocrats’ level of thinking

#grrm uses the body as a political entity quite a lot it’s interesting #related alicent being thin as relates to the anemic self-denying the real life is in the afterlife catholic martyr #luther railed against. many such cases coldness unrelatability inhumanity of faith etc #anyway go read martin luther’s body: the stout doctor and his biographers 🫵#asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #rhaenyra targaryen #aegon ii #house of the dragon #hotd

love thinking kipperlilly spends her afterlife looking for lucy in a familiar forest

#not art #fhjy #fhjy spoilers #like. does she have a mean of knowing lucy and yolanda got sent to cassandra's domain to hang out for a bit #kipperlilly's isolation means so much to me. she is punished for everything she's done she just doesn't pick up on it #until the moment she dies! one more funky thing that mirrors riz in which he's actively tried to cultivate a community and denied it #until the bad kids. while kipperlilly does not want or care about a community she just wants someone who validates her #but she does Need a community so she latches onto the person she lets closer to her to fulfill her emotional needs #she took the ritual willingly so this might genuinely be her first death. probably terrifying #probably not even enough bandwidth to feel mortified. maybe immediately seeking something comforting out of instinct alone #lmao honestly thinking too much abt fantasy high afterlifes gives me a headache And a visceral fear #Im not religious but I grew up in a culture with a dominantly buddhist/taoist cosmology its Scary that u just go to A Place after u die!!#and then ur still urself!!! thats scary to me what do u mean u stay like that forever. thats fucked #but yeah I think this influences how I see kipperlilly turn out a little bit. in a sense I think of her as being a ghost now #yknow. trying to solve something from life so she can move on and. stop living this life etc #man the reveal that lucy took being killed pretty seriously and is like yeah the others are decent and even sweet #and probably was just trying to hold her party together and do what she thinks is moral by hearing kipperlilly out #lol lmao etc. gods I gotta wonder how kipperlilly's mindset handled jawbones' help #it really is damn tragic tho. I stand by what I said folks like this will complain and be nasty to be around #but they dont have enough desire to inconvenience themselves to off the bat do something abt what they find unfair or whatever #its when theyre handed the seemingly very easy means to be right that they'll start being dangerous #its horribly tragic that the supposed metaplayer and the self-perceived mastermind turned out to ultimately be just an useful idiot #yknow what. I think personally in my heart kipperlilly moves on from her afterlife the moment she says sorry #doesnt even have to be to lucy but that's probably gonna be who received it #ah.... teenage rebellion. teenage gamejacking

A cat and a butterfly walk into the afterlife

#hunter x hunter #hxh #neferpitou #shaiapouf #pitou hxh #pouf hxh #meruem hxh #thinking about the way they were never able to talk about their differences. not really #they have the same goal but they go about it in ways that antagonize each other #i'd like to think it's a little more peaceful for them in the hypothetical afterlife?#where they don't have to fight to keep meruem. but they still have these different ways of thinking #and all the things that they couldn't prevent. their own deaths. meruem's death. etc #and maybe after his death pouf will be able to accept meruem's humanity and identity a little more. pouf sucks but like. maybe #and pitou knows that meruem is not just more than them (in the sense of being a king and above them)#but MORE than them. he has his identity outside them. he has komugi!!#my art

Night Nurse's Superior is Niko

hear me out. this little idea crossed my mind the first watch thru, kinda just on vibes... then THEN on second watch thru I have receipts...

1. time can be funky

2. white streak in her hair (also grey like a black white mix, besides just age)

3. she has a look in her eye like idk she knows more, keeping a secret, a playful mischeviousness

4. tells the boys the SAME quote tragic mick told Niko.

5. is very curious and asks a lot of questions.

6. (to my understanding) runs the Lost & Found agency which basically just a big mystery solving department.

(cc: Niko and Scooby Doo) oh i am having thoughts...

below is my more unhinged version of the above...

(this is my evidence breakdown)

conspiracy theory but thought it the first time i watched the show then had another thought rewatching it now. night nurse's superior (aka sukis mom from atla live action) gives me niko vibes idk time is weird and i know niko in an igloo with the sprites BUT white streak in hair something in her eye that just says she knows more SAME quote mick told niko GASP and she very inquisitive 😭 crack theory i dont care if no one else likes it i charlie red string board about it okay

#so many thoughts bout this i NEED a season 2 #need nikos story #gah what if she gets more involved in the afterlife stuff looking for her dad etc. ahhhh #dead boy detectives #dbd 1x08 #classy posts #classy theories #classy reacts #update: check comments and reblogs for more freak out and evidence

hmm. retainers.

actually, let's first talk about the leylines of sornieth. the network of magic running beneath reality that all magic flows through. the world's natural mechanism for cycling magic.

all magic flows from the leylines, returns to the leylines, and is broken down by the shade within so the cycle can start anew.

(as you might have noticed, the leylines and the shade both are the source of many superstitions and misunderstandings, but this isn't about them.)

near-to-all creatures on sornieth are magical in some way, which means that their magic, too, will return to the leylines upon death.

all that is to say that the leylines are the afterlife. purgatory. whatever. which means that every now and then someone will realize this and try to break out. because that is something people will want to do, because a good few people do not want to be dead and/or do not want to simply fade into oblivion. and because that is something you can do, since magic can, in fact, flow out of the leylines.

(which means that you can, in fact, revive someone if you drag them back out but WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RETAINERS HERE.)

retainers aren't actually dragons. they are just kind of... spawned in by purgatory to keep people from breaking out of the afterlife. luckily, they're usually passive. won't bother you if you're just chilling (or, more likely, dying a second time) in purgatory.

they'll beeline for anyone causing trouble though. this includes people trying to break out, people trying to break in, or people who have already broken in and are running around in the leylines while still being very much alive. they will not pursue people out of purgatory, but they will remember and they will come for your ass once you die again.

physically, they're pretty damn big. about the size of a particularly large imperial. they don't have any limbs by default, but they can grow any number of them so one can absolutely have, i don't know, twenty arms if it needs that many. their wings and haloes (for the ones who do have haloes, at least) are not quite solid, but you'll encounter some resistance if you try to touch them.

they can technically be killed if you fight them hard enough, but so long as they retain a connection to purgatory they simply will not stay dead. "killing" one is a pretty tall order in the first place. they're stupidly big, they can channel lightning (not actually lightning- just raw magic. remember, purgatory is inside the leylines) they're able to teleport, and they can straight-up change the geography of purgatory at will. if you want to get out of purgatory, you're better off trying to avoid these things instead.

they seemingly answer to the employers, despite the employers... not actually having created purgatory. still, some of the employers have taken it upon themselves to watch over purgatory and have managed to intertwine their own magic with that of the leylines. as a result, they have some degree of control over both purgatory and its retainers.

anyways out of universe um. hi it's me i'm being insane about madness combat and making fandragons of the most random things. gabriel ultrakill is here because it makes the most sense. he's a retainer now because it's my lore and i get to pick the writing also i use "the leylines" and "purgatory" pretty interchangeably above because they are interchangeable. two names for the same thing. btw sorry i keep drawing things that are not actual flight rising dragons who are actual flight rising breeds. it Will happen again

#flight rising #/etc/art time #/etc/lore time #also deimos is here too but i'm not tagging him for a silly space filling doodle.#what the hell has my lore come to though. three-way crossover of a fucking sketch page #whatever. if it fucking sparks joy #and boy does this spark a Lot Of Joy :]#maybe i'll write up a better explanation of the leylines/purgatory later. still gotta talk about the fact the internet is the afterlife lol #but for now. this should be enough context #also the two drawn with lightning are dragons i actually own (or intend to own). also gabriel too obviously.#but yeah the other two are my actual retainer fandragons. just a cool fun fact #the one with smoke is because i gave it carnivore and figured i could do something with that lol #second one is based off octopus/plating secondary/tertiary

How do you feel about Jimmy and Scott canonically staying together even in the afterlife after 3rd life. I need to hear your thoughts

i have some thoughts ☝️

^ I made that post a while ago, though: I still dont lean more towards one interpretation over the other (afterlife Jimmy being real VS afterlife Jimmy being Not Real) but I do think there is more of a basis for him not being real, as it makes more sense in my head with how Jimmy and Scott act when FH is brought up post-3L, as well as how Jimmy acts during the cutscene (he’s always seemed a bit off to me during it? OOC I think it’s because he was likely given some directive and was trying to act accordingly, as opposed to the usual, aka: not trying to act with much in mind at all.)

These days I think a lot about that option. My stance has always been that Scott would know this Jimmy isn’t right, but I’ve heard people make cases for Scott never fully realizing it as well; that his idea of Jimmy had become so warped in that post-death idealization of him that Scott wouldn’t tell the difference (or at least wouldn’t want to, and try to cling to denial for as long as possible). Sickening idea, 10/10 no notes.

#Also comes with the funny implication that Scott saw the real Jimmy in Last Life and immediately snapped out of it #This happens anyways actually. but I just wanted to mention it #asks #deranged.fh.posting #you could take the 3l afterlife scene ten million different ways honestly so i never commit to just one #I have a whole fic in my head based around afterlife Jimmy being real and their shared afterlife changing over time as jimmy starts to—#have his own wants again. considering things would be a lot more chill in the afterlife (no war!) so he’d actually be able to do so #but the change would scare Scott because he’d just gotten everything to where it needs to be. subtle conflict ensues etc etc #i am not a fic writer however

Hi there! If you happen to have read my Afterlife SMP and Empires SMP fanfics, I'm currently looking for a beta reader!

You get: exclusive access to my WIPs and can ask any question about my plot lines or thought process that you desire!

I get: a second pair of eyes on my plot points and word choices/phrasing, as well as someone to poke at my brain!

Inbox/DM are open! The current fic I'm working on is about two-thirds of the way done and will be the finale of Soul Liminality. It involves characters from Afterlife, New Life, and Empires SMP S2. After that I'll be strictly working on Empires SMP S1 fics if that's more your cup of tea!

#alsmp fanfic #afterlife smp fanfic #empires smp fanfic #I know this might be a long shot #but I might as well try #I prefer to chat over Discord #in part so I can easily use emojis #🤔🤔🤔 thinking a lot on the matter at hand etc #writer things #beta reader wanted

another thing i rly like about ac valhalla/mirage is that eivor meditates before battles (or a major kill) and basim meditates after them

#ac valhalla #ac mirage #missives #i should not overanalyse this but i will in 3 2 1 #my perspective on eivor so far is that she takes large battles very seriously but she is also acutely aware of the human cost and what #may follow as well as the likelihood of death on account of her culture #you have her discussing what awaits in the afterlife with other characters in the midst of battle #but she doesnt regret things. not that much #what's done is done and in the past #the battle is done and the cost is assessed and the world keeps turning #but basim never has that - he has so much confidence both in mirage and valhalla #'why do you have so few scars' 'i dont get hit' etc etc etc #and in mirage he also doesnt do a lot of questioning before going in for the kill #but he thinks about it SO MUCH... and obviously all of that is key to the story in mirage #idk this probably didnt warrant commentary but i am Thinking

A WOMAN WHO’S JUST IN HIS HEAD

“In death, Jane became the ultimate consort; unblemished (especially in the eyes of her capricious and tyrannical husband), ever young, and the mother of a surviving son. Instead of merely being the wife who ‘died’ and in recognition of her saint-like life — which went beyond the medieval ideal of saintly queenship — Jane should actually be remembered as the wife who was (effectively) canonised.” - Aidan Norrie

#jane seymour #Henry VIII #the Tudors #consistently throughout Jane’s ‘afterlife’ there appears this one theme #of a disparity between how she’s remembered and how she ‘actually’ was #things like historians saying she should be remembered as evil but is actually remembered as good #or that she should be remembered as shrewd but is actually remembered as simple #etc etc etc #it also appears on a more personal level in how she was treated by her male family;#such as Henry making a pilgrimage to Thomas Beckett’s shrine to celebrate her pregnancy and then letting it be destroyed #treating her like garbage in life but sanctifying her in death #& Edward overlooking her well recorded catholicism to portray her as a reformist in line with his own beliefs during his regime #which wasn’t even entirely his fault because like. what did I just say. Henry made up a new Jane after the real one died.#how was Edward supposed to have a clear image of his mother? how was anyone?#on every level there’s so much ‘what I need/want her to have been’ and so little ‘who she actually was’#it’s haunting

someday i'll step on the soil of that planet with my own feet / a pipe dream finally turning into a worthless reality

saito soma- crystal world

#saito soma #soma saito #what a nice name #斉藤壮馬 #seiyuu #france art #i like that line #in the context of the song it's smth the person says after locking them up in a safe room or a vehicle to escape to another planet #and the persona is uncertain if he'll ever follow or see this person again #bc it's a saito soma song it's scifi of course and i think the title is literally a jg ballard reference #song is full of 'it's okay's and 'we'll be fine' and 'how can you laugh at a situation like this'...empty comfort at doomsday #idk idk something abt a dream coming true but under the worst circumstances ever (world is crumbling dying etc etc #which is a classic soma scenario #this guy kills all his characters and for what #i support his love for apocalyptic fiction and unintentionally romantic non-romance music abt people promising to meet in the afterlife

Charmed (1998) rewatch but only seasons 1-3 and then treating the season 4 premiere as an open-ended finale 🤷🏻‍♀️

#charmed #charmed 1998 #charmed wb #i remember what comes next all too well #honestly I am sorry to miss out on some of the phoebe/cole scenes of early s4 when they were still fun #but i don't think i can take the s4 plotlines again let alone the reminder of s5 looming #going back as an adult is fascinating though #1 - so much of the fashion is back in #season one especially #also wow preteen/early teen me was really oblivious to fashion though i did wind up thinking leather pants = cool from what i absorbed then #2 - i can absolutely see the change from the original showrunner and really wish i knew what constance m burge intended next #3 - the inconsistencies. the inconsistencies #not just the mythology they were making up on the fly #(how long are you a ghost v moving on to next life since past lives are a thing but also visitors from the afterlife etc etc)#but the timeline #how old was phoebe when victor left (thank god they recast victor absolute glow-up)#why did leo have a past life in the 20s when he should have been already growing up #cole refers to 'mornings waking up next to you' about his ADA apartment when it's very pointed that he & phoebe only hook up there once #4- fascinating how sex is treated in the early seasons v the latter #(it went over my head back in the day but) they very much make clear which boyfriends they're sleeping with v which they *aren't*#(i.e. they spell out that prue only sleeps with andy once & never with jack & that piper never sleeps with Josh etc)#5 - biggest mistake the reboot made was doing the half-sister storyline in episode 1 #it gave them no wiggle room when a sister DID leave the show but #more importantly you lose the original grew-up-together-push-each-others-buttons dynamic that is so good #not many siblings shows on that level (supernatural is the only comparison coming to mind)#6 - I'm so Team Cole still #talk about dropping the ball on character - his half-demon backstory motivated by saving his father's soul is great actually AND DROPPED #still about phoebe/cole but the prue and cole dynamic makes more sense knowing they were dating IRL #and shoehorning in paige out of the blue distrusting cole mid s4 as replacement for that dynamic just will never work for me #anyway as my sister is now my roommate in the old house we rent Charmed (early seasons) hits different and holds up better than i expected!

So Reylos are now freaking out over episode 4 of Ahsoka cause Anakin showed up in what appears to be the wbw. I have not watched Ahsoka and don't plan to. I personally think that nothing will come out of this in regards to Ben Solos return. People think Leia sacrificed herself to send Ben there? If she sacrificed herself to save him then he wouldn't have gone anywhere he would have been alive.

Anyone who thinks there was planning or thought behind anything in tros is delusional.

Thinking they're setting up Ben's resurrection is almost as removed from reality.

#as I said years ago his return in some form is inevitable #ie: more content using the character- almost certainly exclusively in the mask and doing meaningless completely OOC villain antics #and obviously not live-action- cartoons comics books etc.#that will fuck up the timeline and make no sense #but the likelihood of Ben being resurrected and his story actually continuing forward is infinitesimal #they have made their bed and they have made clear their intention to lie in it #piss-soaked sheets and burning pillow notwithstanding #this is about finding an excuse to use HC in their show for fanservice and buzz #and that's as deep as it goes #I wouldn't watch any of this shit if you paid me but does this not destroy the ending of RotJ even more than it already was by implying #Anakin is not in a state of peace or really dead or ascended to nirvana?#he was one with the Force he should not be in any kind of purgatory or transitional dimension or whatever #but I suppose there is absolutely nothing scared and they've already shit all over everything that ending was about so why not #let's just go for the final insult and say Anakin's redemption wasn't real and he wasn't accepted into the afterlife #why let any Skywalker have anything #not one of them can have ever accomplished even he most hollow of victories #somehow we have to give THIS to Rey too #she time travelled and forced him to save Luke #NOT THAT I'M BITTER
