“Now I just want you to watch.”
El saw what Henry did to everyone in the lab. She didn’t die, but she had to watch it happen.
Max saw Billy die in front of her. She wasn’t the one in danger, but El was. And she watched her abusive stepbrother die in front of her.
Dustin saw Eddie die. He didn’t go back towards the bats. The bats didn’t hurt him. But he watched Eddie die in his arms.
Hopper didn’t die because of his exposure to the chemicals he was mixing. He watched his daughter die in a hospital bed.
Lucas wasn’t being targeted by Vecna. He wasn’t the one floating in the air, his bones weren’t snapping. But Max’s were. And he watched it happen.
Nancy wasn’t the one who died in the Upside Down, alone in Steve Harrington’s pool. That was her best friend, and Nancy had to watch it all go down. Had to see everyone unfold.
Mike didn’t get possessed. Or kidnapped. Or burst into particles. Mike didn’t die. Or almost die. He watched Will screaming like he was being burned alive. He watched his best friend nearly die and he watched as every adult around him was unable to help him. He watched Will bike away from his house before he disappeared. He heard his mom talking to Joyce the next day. He heard Will on the radio. He saw Will’s body in the water. He heard Bob die. He saw El die. He saw Will dead. He watched a man get shot trying to protect him, Will and Jonathan. He watched him die while putting pressure on the wound.
Mike was shot at.
He was told that he was wrong for trusting El. That Will wasn’t alive.
He had to run for his life because his friend’s body was taken by a being from another dimension that sent creatures to kill him and everyone around him.
He was knocked out by Max’s possessed brother.
He was shot at again in the desert, trying to rescue El who was taken by the government.
He’s been bullied his entire life.
And he did almost die.
Mike jumped off a cliff.
Dustin and El had to watch.

You know what actually doesn't add up?
Everyone is acting like this is the first time in history that Rhys is seen as sexy rather than just funny or weird. By a large audience at least. But that can't be true, can it? I mean if you watch all his stand up specials... Just look at the way he's playing with the audience. This is not a man who doesn't know exactly what's going on. Sure, there are bits where he just leans into the weird and isn't afraid to look like a complete lunatic, but there are also the bits where he's clearly working that sex appeal. Come on. And you can hear the audience lapping it up. They know. And he knows. And it looks like it's been that way for like a decade and a half.

autism does things to a person because my autistic-ass is somehow hyperfixated on FORTNITE of all things and this most basic of white boys has a chokehold on me rn

But the fact that Kinn could have unlocked those cuffs at any time and chose not to, for a hundred reasons, but mostly because this was his chance to make amends with Porsche and finally be himself with him????

I'm very confused on how to interpret the Collector.
On one hand, they're adorable, and only want to play (just like a kid)
On the other hand, he was okay with Belos murdering grimwalker after grimwalker.
But honestly, I see him as a chaotic neutral.
Others have pointed this out, but the Collector seems to have been alone for ages, and might have just gone along with Philip because it was their first friend in ages!
And then there's the thing with King's dad imprisoning him...
So here's my thought. What if the collector was left in the hands of the titans. As a child from the stars, someone had to raise them. The titans were older, even though he was more powerful. He was always a little lonely. He constantly got scolded for playing his games, even though they couldn't understand what was wrong! Sure, he played tough, but what would you expect?
Then one day, they came across a cool new creature. Interested, they followed for a while. But the creature never wanted to play with him! So then one day they tried to trap the creature, but he lost the scroll to the ocean.
The collector soon found out that one of the titan's was going to have a kid! Finally, someone to play with! But for some reason, the father of the titan didn't want the collector anywhere near his son. So not fair! The collector started misbehaving, which led to him getting grounded in the mirror. Outraged, the collector blamed the titan, and managed to gather a cult following. The cult hunted down the titans, and managed to kill them. This cult had one of the mirrors that the titans used to use to talk to the Collector, to keep an eye on them. The cult tried to free the Collector, but they were unable to, and broke their mirror in the process. The other mirror was lost, and the collector was all alone for thousands of years, haunting the in-between realm.
Finally, someone reached out to him. A man named Philip, who promised to free them if they helped him. He even pinky promised. The collector jumped at the chance, grateful to finally have a friend. To finally have someone to talk to.
As the Collector watched Philip kill grimwalker after grimwalker, they got the feeling that doing that was probably wrong, but they didn't want to harm their friendship with his only friend.
But as the eclipse drew closer, Belos didn't seem like he was in any hurry to free them. All the Collector wanted to do was play!
Then Belos betrayed them. And then...
It was the baby titan! The Collector could finally play with him! And then King freed him! Finally! Sure, he had to do a couple things before they could learn how to play Owl House, but it would be worth it! So the Collector helped King's friends, and got back at Philip for breaking a pinky promise. He wasn't mad about getting thrown off the bridge, but Philip broke a pinky promise!
King stopped them before they could play tag with Kings friends. Did they not like tag? It's not like he was going to use his powers! They just wanted to play tag.
Oh, it looks like King just really wants to play Owl House! The Collector was interested. If they needed a whole island's worth of players, then they'll stop the draining spell. He was gonna do it later... but now is fine too.
Owl House is the name of the game... oh, they must need some sort of house! An Owl House! The Collector must need to make an Owl House!
But then they spotted King leaving. Not again! The Collector wasn't about to let another person break a pinky promise! All they wanted was a friend! Now that they had one, they weren't about to let him go.
Besides, King hadn't explained the rules yet!

There's just something about Newt's death scene (in the movies) thats insane to me.
He's fighting himself. He's fighting Thomas. He tries to shoot himself but Thomas throws the gun away. (As if throwing away what happened in the books. The option of Newt getting shot - nevermind Thomas pulling the trigger - isn't even a possibility. Thomas HIMSELF threw away that option.) And then - as they are somewhere between a vicious fight and a desperate grapple - Thomas hugs Newt. And Newt stabs himself IN THE HEART. As if Thomas' love is the thing that kills Newt.
#absolute insanity#i am jumping from wall to wall like a rabid animal#and if you dare try to tell me that they weren't in love watch that scene and get back to me#they are so coded#STABBED IN THE HEART#AND THOMAS' HUG PUSHING THE KNIFE IN FURTHER#like no matter how much Thomas loves Newt theres nothing he can do now but make it worse#they were insane for changing Newt's original death scene so much#and don't get me wrong#I adore the original death scene in the book - it was very well written and so painful and amazing#it was my favourite part of the book#i threw that book across my room five times because it needed to hurt as much as i did#BUT MY POINT IS#i am glad they changed it because it would have been SO out of character for Thomas to shoot Newt#it would have felt completely out of left feild#so to not only change the scene AND have Thomas throw away the gun#but also have the death so romantically coded#or not romantically - but just having it center around love#like how in character it is to circle back to suicide with Newt - but he did it to save Thomas (not that that makes it good)#as if Thomas' self-sacrificing thing rubbed off on him and changed his perception of suicide#AGAIN NOT THAT THATS A GOOD THING#its just interesting#and how in character it is to have Thomas clinging onto Newt - as if he could take away the flare by sheer force of proximity#after he'd been so far away from minho#after he'd had to wait months to get his best friend back#its like he resolved the only way to keep his friends safe was to keep them close#the maze runner#tmr#tmr newt#newtmas

i said it’s not in character cause I feel like I have the tendency to make Joel way more of a lil beb than he actually is. but then again I see some stories and interviews and go… hmmmm maybe it’s accurate after all 🤔
it’s one of my biggest issues when writing him 😭😭 did I babygirlify him or is he really just Like That? idk!! 😭😭
Honestly? I don't think there's a way to make Joel too big a softie. This man is 50% edgy tween boy in his emo phase and 50% heart emoji. Yeah, he has sharp edges and sometimes a sharp tongue and he can be very blunt and has a bit of a temper, but he also has a lot of love to give and he ADORES his boys in caps lock, the same way he does everything in caps lock. And sure, a lot of the time that translates into friendly ribbing, playfighting, and "boys will be boys" shenanigans, but more often than not it also leaves him soft and squishy, looking at his favorite people on earth like they're the moon.
I'm rambling, but my point is: I think Joel Hokka can be very soft indeed. We've all seen the way he fluffs up around his favorite people, so if you write him all cuddly I don't think you're off base at all! And honestly I don't think it shrinks him in any way either. He is just a lot, always, and he's not afraid to let it show, you know?

everybody’s always on writing prompts like “what if there was a world where everyone had a timer ticking down to their death… but you met someone whose timer said infinity!” or “what if everyone had their cause of death tattooed across their forehead… but you met someone whose forehead said THE CREATURE!” Enough -
enough. stop with the shock value. there is no need to insert THE CREATURE; the benign concept of such a world is horrifying enough. not even in urgency, but just in banal, everyday interaction. imagine you meet someone and their timer says two years. not tomorrow, not urgently soon, but two years. enough to do quite a lot. they could fall in love in that time - could they get engaged? have a baby? you might otherwise get to know them, befriend them, but perhaps you opt not to, make a conscious choice not to invest in your own grief. what balancing act would every individual person have to participate in - I have ten years, is that long enough to be a good mother to children? is that long enough to secure a caretaker for my own mother? my wife will die a few months before me. my newborn’s timer reads nineteen years.
and cause of death. you interview for a job and emblazoned across the healthy, smiling face of the HR lady is MALNUTRITION. your country is prospering, safe, but every person you meet on the street from the babies to the old women read BOMB. BOMB. what kind of havoc would fate wreak on the world? what about the loss of privacy? how would that shape our notions of hope? idk man I think a lot of those ancient poems were right, and the fates are monsters. I’m interested by the framing of these ideas as trite horror tales when the premises themselves are so much more disturbing if simply taken to their logical ends

My medieval and ancient ancestors watching me trying to charge my laptop and connect to WiFi: Ah, yes, she must feed her magic mirror on the telluric current and summon the spirits of knowledge from the aether.
My ancestors watching me proceed to doomscroll on Twitter: Alas! She is beguiled by the cruel babblings of the demons within the mirror; soon she will descend into melancholy from the things she has witnessed.
