Charlie's corruption arc ✨😈
aka Broken Crown AU inspired by this post because I’ve been thinking about it intensively. So, I believe Charlie's villain arc would start with a great feeling of relief. Imagine: it's been a week since the final battle; it's been a week when Charlie hasn't been able to sleep at night. Others think she's still grieving, but the truth is different. Every night, Charlie cannot fall asleep because she's trying to cope with the relief she felt the second Adam died. She was the one who at first stopped Lucifer from finishing him, just because killing Adam didn't seem right. But when Niffty actually did it, despite everything, it felt right. It felt good.
After weeks (months?) of looking for a way to stop Adam from committing genocide against her people, after being bullied and humiliated by him, after witnessing how an unjust system enabled his despicable actions while ruthlessly punishing others for far lesser crimes, she finally, for the first time, felt like she had any agency. Just like that, her loved ones were finally safe. They could all breathe again, and all it took was a small act of violence against the person who fully deserved it. This realization changes her. While she doesn't intend to do such things in the future, she can no longer deny that exercising brutal power can be the best solution when dealing with certain kinds of people. This is the very first thing she hides from Vaggie. Not because she's scared of her judgment but because these ideas are so against her own moral values it is simply scary to put them into words.
Maybe I would be capable of killing someone in cold blood. Maybe I'll have to do it one day.
But Adam's dead, so they are safe, right? And she won't ever have to make a choice like that again. That's some reassurance.
And then, Niffty is killed by Lute. Just like that—Lute teleports to Hell by night and slaughters her in revenge because why wouldn't she? Who would have stopped her?
It obviously hits everyone hard—they just lost another friend. But Alastor? Alastor loses his fucking mind. He goes completely feral, yelling at Charlie and blaming her for everything.
What kind of incompetent fool shows their enemy mercy and lets them live long enough to get vengeance? I cannot believe I thought you could be a competent leader. You are just a fucking child. You are all a bunch of idiots.
Charlie goes through a complete meltdown because she knows he's right. If she had the guts to finish Lute or at least asked Vaggie or Lucifer to do so, Niffty would be alive. She's crying, choking on tears; she feels like a hopeless failure, but Alastor does not give her a break. He seems so infuriated she thinks he would kill her. Fortunately, Lucifer and Vaggie intervene. Lucifer puts Alastor back in his place by essentially beating the shit out of him. Vaggie takes Charlie out to calm her down. She insists that if it's anyone's fault, it's hers because she was the one who spared Lute, but Charlie knows that it's a lie. Vaggie would have killed Lute if not for Charlie's convictions. She fails, and she fails all over again, and it seems like she can't escape the evil. It's her responsibility to face it on equal terms. Otherwise, she won't be able to protect her loved ones.
After this incident, both Lucifer and Vaggie insist on kicking Alastor out of the hotel. He's too dangerous, too unpredictable. We can't allow him to treat you like this. We don't even need him anymore; there's nothing an Overlord can do that the King of Hell can't.
But that's not the truth. There's something Alastor can do that Lucifer can't: play the game. And now, grieving another of her friends, Charlie realizes she needs a teacher if she wants to stop pieces.
I have like 0 time to write the proper fic but I had to get these out of my system because holy shit I love coming up with elaborate plots I'm not able to execute. Maybe talking about it will somehow scratch the itch.
Also tagging @purrpleowl because she expresses her interest in this idea.

Ming being betrayed by Joe is a result of Ming's own actions. At the same time as "what goes around comes around" rings true here, it's also sad. It's sad because I doubt Ming has ever put his guard down like that before. When he finally did, Joe cuffed him and left.
(Say what you will about Ming. At the end of the day, though, he's just a person that needs therapy to deal with his shit. Not that it excuses his actions. I just think that empathy is the best policy, even when it comes to spoiled brats like Ming.)
On another note, though... I think that's as far as a possible "revenge" plot will go. As many have stated before, it's not in line with Joe's character to want revenge.
Giving Ming a taste of his own medicine (as in, getting Ming to trust him and then betraying Ming when he was most vulnerable) is probably as far as Joe is willing to go. Also, let's not forget he did it to escape, so I don't even think it was that revenge-ish (is that even a word? lol).
Anyway... These were just some thoughts that entered my mind as I was painting.

7x09 is titled "Unfinished Business" ....
Tell me that is not a revenge plot against Bobby. TELL ME. You can't. If I was not convinced before, I AM NOW.
hErE mE oUt.
I'm not saying they are going to burn down Buck's loft, I AM NOT... BUT, imagine Bobby is dropping a patient off at the hospital with Hen and Chim (I know this hardly ever happens but roll with me guys), and our friend, the Burn Unit Nurse, sees him, and is like...
"Bobby?" BECAUSE, he recognises him, from all those years ago in Minnesota. He lived in Bobby's apartment complex, they were somewhat neighbours, and he saw Bobby go into that vacant apartment that night (the night we do not DARE talk about), on his way to work, and was working a night shift at the hospital when suddenly, they get an influx of patients with burns and smoke inhalation from an apartment fire downtown, and he hears in passing from a nurse the address, and his heart sinks because no his fiance was at home asleep at that address and he hears from someone a few weeks later that the fire started in a vacant room due to an electrical issue with a space heater and HE JUST KNOWS.
And Bobby turns around to face him and is like "Sorry, do I know you?" Because Bobby was going through it back then, he doesn't remember this guy, and the guy is like, "Sorry, no, I was mistaken." And he walks away leaving Bobby all like huh.
Then the episode ends with the truck pulling into the firehouse and the camera pans out and we see BURN UNIT NURSE GUY STOOD ACROSS THE ROAD STARING UP AT THE FIREHOUSE BECAUSE DUN DUN DUN- He has some Unfinished Business to attend to.
If this so happens to lead to the burning down of Buck's loft because this guy does his research and he does some stalking and he sees a connection that Bobby has with Buck that he doesn't seem to share with the other members of the team, then well, ya'll didn't see it here first but I fucking called it if so, because you're telling me that is not a CRAZY storyline right there.
BUT, even if not, even if we do not get our beloved loft burning down scene that we have been writing and praying for on Fanfiction for years, you cannot tell me that there is not going to be some kind of dark revenge plot going on in the last four episodes. This nurse is about to cause some HAVOC I CAN SENSE IT. MY SPIDEY SENSES ARE TINGLING GUYS.
Anyway, @whollyjoly and @thetangycheesemanwithaplan had the absolute joy of hearing this from a very sleep-deprived me last week and now that the episode titles have been released, Buck's loft burning down and Burn Unit Nurses revenge plot is going to be my new personality trait. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.
#Thank you for coming to my ted talk#911#911 spoilers#season seven#season seven spec#i am talking about burning bucks loft down again#unfinished business#are you kidding me#this SCREAMS revenge plot#evan buckley#bobby nash#bobbys past is about to come bite him in the ass guys I CAN SMELL IT#we love giving our favourite characters more TRAUMA#as if bobby hasn't been through enough guys GIVE THIS MAN A BREAK#first you sink his cruise ship then you burn his sons loft down#sksksks how RUDE#LETS GO PEOPLE#am I god?#am i right with this?#if the episodes would just AIR THEN WE WOULD KNOW WOULDNT WE#tim minear get on this shit#this is good soup right here#get me in the writers room#i have a creative writing degree and i am not afraid to use her#tim minear hire me please#i love you#tim#minear#tim minear#gonna tag him again cause we know he lurks on Tumblr we know he does

#i absolutely trust the crew to give him a good arc#im just very attached (aren't we all?)#nyxtalks#izzy hands#israel hands#ofmd#im mostly just worried we might get a 'gets worse before it gets better' character arc and s2 is gonna be him doing a bunch of shit#(and the antis going 'hahaha we told you so!!!)#personally i feel like izzy could Have that turning point now; with the situation on the revenge theres great opportunities for him to#ally himself with the rest of the crew instead of leaning into the krakens shit#idk like i said. i trust the crew im pretty confident we are getting izzy redemption at some point in the plan i just personally hope it#starts soon#(honestly this is just a worry in general even if he gets a great arc. i love the backstories to izzy we have built as a community and i#guess i worry that canon could just. fall short idk.)

Korean school violence dramas are always like:
see this poor girl? she's been beaten everyday and dragged across the classroom floor because her mother sells fish. Look at her, she can't afford a new uniform because the rich bullies have torn hers and now she's coming to school in sportswear. Her family is about to be thrown out and she's just watched her older sister sleep with a loan shark to keep the family's debt at bay. She can't read, can't eat, can't think because she's poor and the bullies are ruthless.
HOWEVER...
being rich isn't fun because... when the rich bully goes home, he has to sit at the huge, beautiful dining table and eat alone because his father is too busy to eat with him. uwu.
#what do you mean -being rich isn't always fun?#you literally always have only problem#but you go out into the world and cause problems for EVERYONE ELSE!#i'm getting tired of this narratives that keep trying to give people sab stories and yet these same characters turn around#enact hell for others#bitch x rich#the glory#king of pigs#weak hero class#revenge of others#can't think of any other bully dramas#i am so fed up with this trope#evil people are evil#stop with the sad stories#it never works when what they're going through isn't half of the shit they put others through

idk maybe i'm just mad people dislike my Special Little Guy but like... the way that jarley shaped cultural perceptions of joker as a character (read: established the idea of him as a domestic abuser (of his female partner) furthering the associations with gendered violence/general misogyny that were (primarily) started by tkj/tdkr) feels homophobic in a way that's difficult to articulate
#just thinking thoughts#i actually don't mind when people dislike him bc like. he's overused or like. just not personally interested in him#it's moreso when people dislike him bc of the things he's done in canon#and i can understand being put off by harmful actions performed by characters in fiction i get it#like certain characters give me the ick for that reason. although it has to be pretty egregious. (e.g. slade wilson. he freaks me out lmfao)#but it just. frequently seems to be the same ppl who equate fictional morality with real-world morality#just makes me cringe seeing ppl posting their violent fantasies of like. killing him (specifically Because of his moral transgressions)#esp in the sense of revenge/bc it's what he “deserves”#like... you guys realize how much his queerness is linked to his immoral actions right...#and especially to gendered violence#like you do realize that he's a token example of a queer-coded villain the Point of which is to y'know like#get people to associate immorality with queerness#and you're just eating that shit up...#idfk. anyway#joker

Thinking of how quiet and hesitant peter was when rocket asked about nebula and how bloodthirsty he was on the High Evolutionary’s ship when the guy started blowing it up and thinking how peter probably assumed nebula was still on planet when it was blown up and the usual talkative starlord being unable to finish his sentence to rocket but then the absolute relief in his face and voice when he sees nebula’s code and hears her voice over comm
just thinking about how far they’ve come from since the beginning 🙃🥲
#starbula#marvel#that moment always sticks out to me#like he had to have assumed nebula had been one of the ppl killed on planet#its prob why he was extra bloodthirsty against the high evolutionary plus yhe rest#yes he was getting revenge for what that asshole did to rocket but it wasnt until the place started blowing up he was like ‘ok kill em all’#and he prob thought drax and mantis were fine on yhe ship too with gamora since thats where he told them to stay#and also thinking about how he didny give a shit why she was on the ship in gotg2 and how almost indignant he was#vs the absolute tension and emotions on hearing her voice and that she was alive (and trying to SAVE. HIM. SOMETHING SHE NEVER WOULDVE DONE#BEFORE)#anyways yea#thoughts and feelings lol

rating some rezero ships by um. how good they could cover up murder together
(feel free to read my tags for some explanations T^T)
#rezero#um. given the Various Moral Codes of these characters i figured this would be interesting to give my shot at..... and YES garf shaula and#cecilus are too fucking obvious HAH#not otto being in every single Success tier... except for the selling each other out / revenge one. yeah. yeah hes a bitch alright.#ok but i put rein/emilia there bc... ok i know their energy kinda similar to reinjulius but like i put rein/emilia there bc i feel like#theyd be like OH GOD OH GOD WE JUST DID THAT ON ACCIDENT OH MY GOD IF THIS GETS OUT THISLL BE BAD FOR ALL OUR LOVED ONES like theyd be#panicking and shit#while reinjuli would be like hahaha i am SO NOT OK but we gotta take accountability :(((((#ottosuba is like. literally not even a question that theyre all the way up there. theyd like pull similar shit to sunny and basil from omori#like theyd try to take their secret to the grave and theyd never be functional with each other ever again and then theyd go insane over what#theyve done. either that or theyd just murder some totally evil guy with basically next to zero regrets. otto was already the getaway driver#while subaru was killing petelgeuse in the back LMAO#i feel like with felix itd be like. if theres NO OTHER CHOICE hes gonna whip up reinhard and julius into shape and get them to actually do#it. we saw how he was when subaru was possessed by petelgeuse T^T#emilia rem are put that low bc i feel like theyd have no braincells to use to get out of this and of Course emilias freaking the fuck out so#i feel like whenever otto is paired with someone who has like More doubts and guilt and Panic about it otto would be like GET YOUR SHIT#TOGETHER WE HAVE TO DO THIS. which i feel is also what ram does with certain pairs.#damn... now i want fic where some random pair is trying to cover up murder for whatever reason...#i nearly put garf mimi higher up bc i feel like mimi Could and Perhaps Has gotten away with murder before already. but garf would be TOO#OBVIOUS....#rip mimi. ur a queen for being such a gaslight gatekeep girlboss.

It’s finally time for Magical Girl au yaaay! I’ve wanted to make one since I started watching Sailor Moon (& rewatched Magica Madoka) a couple months ago 🐙
I use the term Magical Girl loosely, but it doesn’t mean everyone has a skirt & highlighter color palette. Really it only means you get a cool outfit transformation & magic for fighting demons.
The breathing styles are like different forms of magical girls. Different divisions that Magical Girls train under I should say. (Aka if canon Slayer corps cared more about having strong highly trained members from the start instead of the final arc). The most popular/prevalent Breathing Styles have their own division (which is why Insect or Love doesn’t have one, since those were created recently and used only by one person)
There’s a bigger emphasis on teamwork (because that’s usually how the protagonists overpowers enemies that would definitely kill them otherwise) so just about every mission no matter your rank is with at least one other Slayer.
I also use “Division Leader” & “Hashira” often but don’t get them mixed up. Out of the Hashira, only about 4-5 have led their own divisions.
All Division Leaders are Hashira, but not all Hashira are Division Leaders if that makes sense.
Division Leader’s Estates are for housing (temporarily) and training of the lower ranks of their breathing style.
The non-Division Leader Hashira don’t have personal Estates. But because teamwork & friendship is important, they all share one Estate. Its the size of an average personal Estate, just split between the rest of the Hashira. It’s big enough for them to live comfortably without overcrowding each other
Out of the non-division leaders, Mitsuri, Uzui, Muichiro and Obanai share that estate. Shinobu stays with Kanae in the Butterfly Estate.
(The Kakushi are same as in canon)
Main divisions:
Magical Water Division, led by Giyuu & Sabito
Magical Wind Division, led by Sanemi
Magical Stone Division, led by Gyomei
Magical Flame Division, led by Kyojuro
Magical Flower Division, led by Kanae (yes she’s alive)
I know that Thunder Breathing was one of the original five, but I can’t find a suitable Leader or purpose for their Division. Zenitsu isn’t near powerful enough, Jigoro retired before the era of our current hashira. So I replaced their division slot with Flower because Kanae <3
As far as weapons go;
Every magical slayer has a sword and learns their respective breathing style, and each one of them has a specific ability/magic set.
I’m Introducing magic as a stand-in for the Pretty Guardians’ specialized attacks. (Like how Sailor Moon has ‘Moon Spiral Heart Attack’ that’s specialized to her usage only.)
In the au, Everyone has a Sword and their Breathing Style, but everyone’s magic abilities are different.
Sometimes you just need that extra slap to take out demons. This would definitely help when swords break mid fight. While magic alone isn’t enough to take out a demon, it can weaken them which could give slayers time to call for backup or retreat.
Also you pretty much sell your soul to become a Slayer
#kny#Magical Slayers ✨#did anyone get lost in that explanation ?#demon slayer#they beat the shit outta demons with the power of friendship & love#I mean that works in sailor moon at least why not here#demon slayers hold hands and Muzan crumbles instantly#not really idk how that fight would go in this au#SBDJHDKD nervous but I’m getting through this#I said it in my first post with this tag#& I’ll say it until someone agrees with me#Sabigiyuu have Uranus & Neptune relationship#they’re not just a pair they’re THE pair#giving away your soul for magic & revenge#that’s the Magica Madoka seeping into this au#you don’t even get a wish out of it#soul is infused with your brooch-like item#demons aim for that for the kill instead of the body#Ubuyashiki family 🤝 manipulation tactics to get traumatized vulnerable ppl to join the corps#I’ll get more into that later#more info on weapons & magic later#I’m not sure how close or far related am au has to be from the source material#a lil worried mine doesn’t hold much water but it makes me happy#f it I’m powering thru bc I’m excited about this au#kny au

There is something weird in Nate character arc
I love Nate and I like his relationship with Jade. I root for his happiness, I was Nate x Happiness way before season two, because I really relate at many of the mental struggles he faces.
But let me make clear a thing:
Relationships don't fix mental illness.
A new partner will not fix all the problems in your life.
A good relationship can help you, can support you through difficult time, but it won't magically fix you. You need to act, change your behaviour and fix yourself, because nobody will do it for you.
Nate needs to own his fucking mess, he needs to see through Rupert schemes and put his foot down. Because blocking his mistakes (with Ted, especially Ted) like he did during this episode won't help him, avoidance can work only for a short period of time, then it comes back and bite you in the ass.
Because everybody is growing and changing but him (and no, getting a girlfriend is not synonymous of a redemption arc, nor a healing process, especially if all his confidence is still tight with "getting a girl" and without a girl to "show off" he's worthless, which wasn't disproved yet and no, don't spit at your self reflection one time, while never addressing the root cause is not enough). He's risking of getting stuck in the past, in his old mentality, in a fake confidence not internal but tied to an external person (Jade).
Fight forward, isn't it? Get out of that box and live the moment, every moment is worth living, because you are worth it, whatever you succeeded or failed, you deserve happiness in your life.
That's what I think we should stride for Nate's arc.
It's nice that Nate got a girlfriend (I enjoy them because they are such opposite character and energy), but it'll come crushing and burning down if he doesn't understand why he was able to ask her out. It matters that he found the courage to ask her out for a date, but he matters regardless, even without this accomplishment.
Nobody defined Nate if not Nate himself. And I think Jade can help him realize it, but the relationship with her is not a magic cure (and to be absolutely critical I think they will have many communication problem if they don't learn how properly work things out before a real relationship, since Jade is not really an extroverted person and Nate is an anxious mess ready to misinterpret every ambiguous body language, I know it because I'm the same).
Getting a girl is not the redemption arc, is not the finale, it's barely a consequence of the first step in becoming a better person. I believe (eh, Ted Lasso, isn't it?) Nate is fundamentally a good person, he's a brilliant tactician, funny and sensible, but he's also deeply insecure and he broke the trust, and leash out to people who (truly) loved and trust him and we can say all we want to explain his reasoning (his past bullying, his daddy problems, the miscommunication), but it doesn't chance the fact he was wrong, it's not a justification.
Nate matters with Rupert, and without him (a lot more without him). With Ted's or his father's approval or without. (And already had Ted's, like this episode he went to see him play with his son, Ted already, for the most part, forgive him. Ted doesn't have to accept his apology, but Ted Lasso is Ted Lasso and do what Ted Lasso can do best: treating people with compassion, so he will without a second thought the moment he'll see Nate sincerely regrets).
But Nate does need to do it, though, he's redemption arc is tied with this apology. Because they say hurt people hurt people, and it may be true, but it's also bullshit. Even if your struggle with mental health, you have no right to hurt others.
To do this apology thought Nate needs to grow, needs to build his confidence and self esteem for himself, because he's action were mostly a counteract to a perceive rejection, he is not what twitter says about him, or Jade, or Ted, or his father, or Rupert.
The belief that you matter, you know? Regardless of what I do or don't archive.
Ted is going to forgive him, of course he is.
#But let me be real with you real quick#if somebody I trust revealed my mental struggles to somebody else for a petty revenge for a perceived betrayal I didn't even done (while I#I would never NEVER talk to them again nor accept their apologizes. Fucking hell that shit makes my blood boil#I understand Nate but I despise what he did there#he was in wrong and there are no justification#he needs to apologize#I'm just rambling at this point but as somebody who mental struggle made do a lot of bad shit#i cannot emphasize enough how much apologizing was part of healing myself and giving the chance to start over without baggage#ted lasso#ted lasso spoilers#nate shelley#Again it's an interpretation#Do not take this as an attack to his character more like a thought about calling getting a girl a redemption arc#I still root for him#And I shamelessly enjoy him on screen every time
