I would like to get to know you better!
Thank you for the tag @marvagon coyly accepts that Desunity kiss 😚💖💖💖
1. 3 ships I really like right now: Just three? 🥺... I'll pull them from Sandman as it's the fandom I'm most active in here on tumblr. If I was pulling from all my fandom pairings I'd be here all day trying to narrow it down. 🙈
Corinthiel (The Corinthian x Daniel) They're my sun, moon and stars, always on my mind. The very peak of mount feralfan. My boys. 🤍💛
Desunity (Desire of the Endless x Unity Kinkaid) My darlings. My beloveds. I fell in love with this ship from the moment I first saw it and have been utterly devoted ever since.
Last ship.... Ooooo so torn. It's going to have to be ConstantDeath by a teeny tiny percentage. Joanne Constantine x Death of the Endless. I loved this ship so damn much when it was first suggested. But then it seemed to dissappear into the mists of time. Femslash weekend has brought it back in abundance though and I am screaming with joy.
Honourable mentions to the tender box of chocolates that is Callienne and Dreamling will always be my first sandman ship. You never forget your first. There's something about RoseGault I find intriguing too. Oh and must never forget Despoe!
2. First ever ship: Daiken/Kensuke.. Daisuke Motomiya and Ken Ichijouji from Digimon season 2. My OG sunbeam and soggy raincloud. I'll still wander back from time to time a read a fanfic or two.
3. Last song: Bushes of Love by Bad Lip Reading.... 'We've all got a chicken, duck, woman thing waiting for us.' Wise words I live by. 😎
4. Last movie: Werewolf by Night. I'll admit I'm suffering immensely from Superhero fatigue. But I adore Marvel's ventures into the supernatural. Werewolf by Night has become a staple halloween film for me. And I have rewatched Moonknight soooooo many times.
5. Currently reading: I think I've done an ask about what book I'm reading fairly recently. So instead, I'm on Adult fanfiction.net...remember that? Revisiting some of my favorite Book Sherlock Holmes x John Watson fanfics that never made the journey across to AO3.
6. Currently watching: The Fall of the House of Usher. It's not October for me without a Mike Flanagan series. And I'm giving True Detective a try. Gritty southern gothic x lovecraftian vibes.. It's perfection!
7. Currently eating: A vanilla custard slice... Tasty, indulgent and infamous for reducing grown ass adults to toddler levels of eating. 😆 It is not possible to consume these things genteelly. All part of their charm.
8. Currently craving: That feel of winter in the night, that slight smell of ice in the air. You know we've offically entered the dark half of the year then. We're truly in Autumn.
Tag nine people: (or so, no pressure!) @bobbole @rriavian @illumi-nati-png @jazzy-a @melrocks21 @bazzybelle @tickldpnk8 @mashumaru and @ibrithir-was-here

Hey Jordan, when it comes to Disney +, what have been your thoughts for each of the MCU shows and the movies that have been recently released?
i'll start by talking about my favorite show which is wandavision. i absolutely love that show and think it's the best one out there by a mile. the second runnerup is loki (I haven't seen the new season yet, so no spoilers!) the third one is definitely hawkeye!
i haven't seen FATWS only because when it came out, there was only loki and wandavision, and I heard that FATWS wasn't that good in the sense that there was no character development like there was in the other two. I'll have to watch it eventually because it's going into my marvel rewrite, but that's way later down the line
i absolutely love the what if...? series and wish there were more seasons and episodes. i think it's a very cool concept
i don't know why eternals gets so much hate because that movie is definitely in my top three in every MCU film that's ever been made. the CGI is done so well and I love the storyline
i haven't seen moonknight and i don't know if i will
if you want to read my thoughts about dr. strange 2, you can read them here!
i watched ms. marvel and didn't dislike it. it's a good show as a introduction to the character, but I didn't connect with it as much as I wanted to. though, I am excited to see the marvels this november!
i also loved thor love and thunder. i thought it was really funny and don't know why it got so much hate
i haven't seen she hulk and i don't know if I will, either. some say it's very funny and some say it's terrible. hulk was never my favorite character, and I hate what marvel has done to bruce banner's character by mixing the hulk and banner together
i liked wakanda forever but i think it was cheap because chad died. i think that they had a different story in mind knowing he was going to play t'challa again but when he died, they put together a half-assed script at the last second instead fo regrouping and coming up with a better story. (I also don't see the point in ri-ri's character in the movie other than she's an omen for the next iron man)
ant man 3 is another movie i absolutely loved and don't know why it deserved the hate it did. i love paul rudd and think he's a great ant man. i thought the movie was so funny and really well done. i think people had an issue with kang's character because ant man beat him, but I don't think they realize that it was one version of kang, not the strongest. plus, he was in the quantum realm, and he's less powerful down there. i don't know what Marvel is going to do with kang's actor since I hear he got arrested? accused of DV? I'm not sure what's going on there
the third GOTG movie is top tier. i absolutely LOVED that movie. GOTG is definitely my favorite trilogy next to ant man's trilogy and spiderman's trilogy
finally, i haven't seen secret invasion yet even though I want to. i guess I'm waiting for all the episodes to come out before I watch it. i stopped waiting for episodes every week as soon as I got streaming services. i'd rather wait to binge them all instead of wait once per week.
let me know your thoughts or if you want me to elaborate on something!

Top 22 of 2022
End of the Year Game Tag
I got tagged by @happyandticklish for the end of year tag game! I'm going to put the answers under the cut so you can skip past if you'd like ^^
Part 1: Fandom Faves
01. Favorite new fandoms of the year
OOOOOO I think I joined a heap of new fandoms this year. Top favourites would have to be Heartstopper, Moon Knight, Daredevil, SuperBat (DC), and The Umbrella Academy.
02. Favorite new ships since this year
Obviously Nick/Charlie, Superbat, and probably Steddie (even tho I'm not up to their season in Stranger things yet lmao).
03. Favorite anime/TV show of the year
I think Moon Knight has to take the cake my dudes. I haven't been that hooked on a show in ages.
I'm not really an anime watcher, so I don't really have an answer for this. But my gf has been trying to get me into Fairy Tail so I'll pick that one I guess ^^
And of course, my all time favourite show is Doctor Who
04. Favorite movie of the year
Turning red was amazing, made my best friend cry.
I do have to give MoonFall an honourable mention, that movie was batshit crazy and I loved it.
And even though it technically came out in 2021, I watched it in January this year so SPIDERMAN NO WAY HOME is gonna be my favourite movie for the year.
In terms of my favourite movie of all time, I love Legends of Ravaging Dynasties and How to Train your Dragon.
05. Favorite character of the year
Oh god this is hard...
I'd have to give it to either Steven from Moon Knight or Elijah from The Originals!
And of course Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man has to be up there hehe.
But my favourite character of all time is Captain Jack Harkness from Doctor who. That man is EVERYTHING
06. Favorite soundtrack of the year
Ooooo interesting...
In terms of newer sound tracks, I'll give it to Tick Tick Boom (another one that came out last year but I only watched it this year).
For older soundtracks, nothing will ever top HTTYD.
07. Favorite book/manga/comic of the year
I started The Promised Neverland this year and it was pretty cool!
Overall, Stuff That Scares Your Pants Off is such a good book and I don't know why I love it so much.
08. Favorite game of the year
I'll give it to The Quarry, Cult of the Lamb, and Stray.
Overall, I'm a sucker for Minecraft, Skyrim, and The Sims.
09. Highlight of this year to remember
Probably moving out! That was a huge achievement, and to do it with my girlfriend was awesome.
Part 2: Community Review
10. Favorite Tumblr moments of 2022
Like many others, TickleTober was my favourite moment this year for the community! And not just seeing everyone creating throughout the month, but seeing the support and encouragement and hype for each other was lovely!
11. Favorite fan art of the year
I'm such a sucker for anything that @sleepysheepytea draws cause it's just absolutely adorable (even though we don't share any fandoms I still cannot get enough of them).
I also only recently discovered @vqler 's art and HOLY SHIT ???? very VERY talented people on this app...
@ticklishfanart has some adorable pieces !!! Mostly for MHA which I haven't seen but like COME ON LOOK AT THIS, AND THIS!!! HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE IT?
Finally, @ssnicker-doodless has some super cute sketches that I've seen around the place.
Again, not a lot of fandom crossover with people (perhaps down the track I'll commission 👀). I need to find artists who share fandoms with meeeee !!! (though as I'm typing this I swear to god there's some moonknight fanart I've seen and I can't find it SJDHALKSHAS help). If there's any artists out there who have similar likes to me PLEASE send me ur username (or a username of an artist you like) in the ask box !!!
But I mean the fanart someone drew of When Bats Hum kinda has to be my favourite right??? It was so cute, so well done, and meant absolutely everything to me.
12. Favorite fic of the year
Oh this is DIFFICULT ! This is real hard. I loved so many fics this year aaaaaaaaaa.
Onion Man's heartstopper fics were beautiful (@ticklepinions )
This heartstopper fic, this PJO fic, and this Destiel fic from Happy are all amazing (@happyandticklish )
HOLY SHIT I JUST REALISED THAT @writingwitharlo WROTE A HEAP OF MY FAVOURITE FICS FROM AGES AGO AJSKHSALKHFS OMFG !!!! LEMME DUMP A WHOLE LIST FOR YOU:
- Steddie (recent, not an old fav but I still love it)
- Heartstopper (1 and 2, again not old but amazing )
- Stony
- Supernatural (this one and this one and this one too! THESE ARE SOME OF MY OLD FAVS SKJALSHKLSDJHSDFLKJH)
@ticklishraspberries has some really really sweet fics for Steddie, The Umbrella Academy, and Supernatural that I love !!
Lmao I did not pick just one oops.
13. Favorite ask game of the year
DAMNIT THIS IS ANOTHER HARD QUESTION UHH honestly I'd have to say the Alphabet Ask Game by @otomiya-tickles was a really cute and fun one!
14. My top achievements as a writer/artist/creator/blogger
OOOOOO Ok I have a few for this one. 2022 was a pretty big year for me in a number of different areas.
- I hit 1,000 followers (holy shit)
- I posted 45 new fics (which is insane I'm so pleased)
- I completed the entire TickleTober Challenge coming up with my own original prompts (crazy)
- And I'm slowly reaching out and talking to people in the community and I'm so keen to make some more friends !!
15. My own best fic/post of the year
In terms of the fic that did 'the best' I'm going to guess it's one of the heartstopper ones? Mayyyyybe a Moon Knight one?
OK DAMN heartstopper wasn't even in the top 3 ??
My top 3 fics overall are
3rd - Cold Hands, Warm Heart (Sanders Sides) [75 Notes]
2nd - Out of Control (Moon Knight) [86 Notes]
1st - Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better (MoonKnight) [105 Notes]
The one that I'm the most proud of this year is definitely Giggles in the Dark (Heartstopper). I loved imagining it, writing it, reading it, just everything! It holds a very special place in my heart! (and it did pretty well too so maybe people could feel how much I liked it lmao)
16. My most underappreciated fic/post of the year
I mean I don't reeeeally have any fics I think are 'underappreciated'? But I guess I'll put either Magic or Claws (both TickleTober fics lol, 25 and 26) on there? Magic is a pretty fun one that I had been thinking about for a while, and Claws I thought was pretty clever.
So yeah they would be my answers!
17. A post of mine that got more popularity than expected
Honestly both of the Moon Knight Fics got wayyyyy more popular than I was expecting (more than 100 notes for one ???) so yeah I'll put down Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better and Out of Control lol.
18. Something I changed on my blog since this year
I mean I changed my profile pic I guess? And I also posted a pic of myself (covering my face of course) which I've never done before!
Part 3: Next Year
19. Something I didn’t post this year but would like to do next year
I'd want to try to get into chapter fics? Like one long running fic thing. I think that would be a fun challenge!
20. Goals for next year
I want to hit 100 fics next year! I know that'll be tricky but I think I can do it!
I also want to talk to more people and make more friends!
21. 2023 releases I look forward to the most
Definitely hyped for the new Indiana Jones, and Spiderman Spiderverse.
I'm also keen for season 2 of Shadow and Bone and Squid Game.
And excited to see what fics come on on this hellsite 👀👀
Part 4: Spreading Love
22. Shoutouts to people who made my 2022 a better year
Ok I know for a fact I'm going to miss someone so IM SO SORRY IN ADVANCE but:
@ticklepinions for being not just a hilarious blog, but a really genuinely nice dude (and a teasy ass sometimes <3)
@happyandticklish for some incredible fics, being absolutely lovely, and sending asks back and forth <3
@sensitivebabbage for all the chats we have, the downright adorable thoughts you leave in the tags, and the occasional cute animals you send me ^^
And you know what here's a bunch more awesome people who are lovely, make awesome content, and/or just have absolutely fantastic blogs that I love seeing on my dash <;3
@artymiswritesfics, @ticklishsheepy (not active atm), @gigglen, @delightfulfics, @mysteys-vibes, @jamieisnotalee, @oliviaischillin1204, @achilleean, @fanficsandfluff, @ticklishraspberries, @blushypuppi, @toadallytickles, @august-anon, @supermarvel-fics, @the-new-ginger-switch, @nhasablogg, @ticklishfanart, @sleepysheepytea, @ficsandgiggles, @mysterious-marvel

Seeing She-Hulk's trailer and the hype it's getting makes me miss the hype MoonKnight got when Marvel released its first look poster of it.... 😭
Like I remember seeing that first poster and going absolutely ballistic like "Yes! Moon Knight! Oscar Isaac!" and just resharing all their updates on my IG story and the amount of times I watched their trailer.... God I miss that...
If we aren't getting MoonKnight Season 2, I'm going to riot 😤

Thoughts on Moon Knight E5
(And My Predictions for E6)
Ah, like Episode 4 of MoonKnight, I have some more thoughts about Episode 5 that I needed to talk about with someone, and I wanted to put down my predictions for E6 (I like doing this with the final eps). This one is a long one, because I REALLY like this character a lot. Again, not my usual content, but this show has me hooked and I just really need to get these thoughts out. I really appreciate y’all humouring me, hah. This is the last week of this show, so I’ll probably have ONE more meta after E6 depending how I feel, but I am enjoying my brief ride in the fandom.
Spoilers under the cut for The Asylum, and possible spoilers for E6 since the predictions are based on what I know about the comics from watching breakdowns and easter egg vids of each episode (which I do to get a bit more back story on characters... as a Coles Notes version of them, LOL). Also, TW / CW for mentions about violence, suicidal ideation, child abuse, depression, and death.
Okay, first things first, the disclaimers:
I am not a professional in any regard relating to mental health / psychology / therapy. I just simply read a lot about these things to help me understand my own struggles and I enjoy deep-diving into fictional character psychology (have done since I was a kid... I was weird kid LOL).
Everything I know about DID is based upon reading articles (both professional ones and Wiki Articles) as well as watching YouTube channels of Systems talking about themselves and the show and how the character and their representation is being handled. PLEASE correct me on anything I have erred on, as I want to be as respectful as possible and I don’t want to spread misinformation.
Okay, that’s out of the way: first some comments / speculations regarding the episode:
Oscar’s acting in this episode was PHENOMENAL. Holy hell in a handbasket, the RANGE of this mo-fo. Love him so much. As Steven, he’s amazing at portraying his innocence and confusion and despair, and then exuding empathy and compassion for Marc. As Marc, I empathize with his pain and his need to want love in his life that doesn’t hurt. I fully believe these are two different people, it’s astounding. My fave scene is the scene on the street as Marc’s struggling with the death and as Steven witnessing the pain. Brilliant.
I absolutely adored this episode. I really love when media dives into characters and focuses on what makes them who they are. For as long as I can remember, I’ve ALWAYS really liked doing deep-dives of characters (I think my earliest ones were back when I was in the Sonic fandom; I used to do them in my fanfics), and this episode was right up my alley. I loved learning about Marc and his life, I loved the rollercoaster of emotions I felt for them, and the horrific circumstances that lead up to the events of the series, and the bombshell that it was only 2 months prior that Marc emotionally broke so bad he had to go dormant to deal with it. I really like when media leaves the “origin story” until near the end of the season. WandaVision did something similar, and it is ALWAYS a good episode for me.
Steven’s cute little “Hippo!!” when they cut back to them screaming in the hospital. And his geeking out over Taweret and the Egyptian afterlife. Steven is so precious and tiny and I want to yum him up. I adore how much character Oscar put into each of these altars.
I mentioned this in my last breakdown: I really wasn’t feeling Marc as a character until these scenes with him in the Asylum and dealing with his past. It REALLY helped me empathize with his character, and it REALLY helps show that he purposely hides a LOT in his life just to even survive day-to-day. And as I suspected last time, Marc has DEFINITELY spent a LOT of time in a psych ward... Tawaret says as much when she states that the Duat is “perceived as something more recognizable”, and Marc’s flippant “we’re insane”, because, sadly, that’s how he thinks of himself. I now suspect that Steven has NEVER fronted at the psych ward, given his confusion at the beginning and his skepticism with the whole scenario with “Doctor Harrow” at the end. I think the Third Alter (who, for the sake of this meta, I’m calling Jake because that’s who the third alter is in the comics) and Marc both spent a lot of time fronting at an asylum instead, and I think they were drugged to the nines so often that Steven just... never had a chance to front to help Marc. NOW Marc’s sadness at not feeling/seeing Steven in the reflection in Episode 4 makes sense to me... it’s because it’s happened time and time again to him. He probably even tried to reach him while at the ward just to cope with his depression and couldn’t. God that hurts.
I think it was a really good move for the showrunners to put this backstory as a penultimate episode. I think it helps humanize Marc in the audience’s eyes, and helped show just how much he cares about the people and alters in his life.
Jesus, Marc’s whole childhood, my lord. Frig, this was REALLY hard to watch.
I mentioned this under the cut of my mini-breakdown of this episode, but I think it’s VERY deliberate that they showed the “therapist” scene three times. That first time was NOT Marc, in my opinion... I think it was Jake. AND I suspect Jake was ALSO the one who took all the beatings and abuse from his mother, hence his bloodied / broken nose and only fronting when a situation is physically dangerous or stressful for Marc. Only because it doesn’t make sense to me that Steven doesn’t remember the beatings, even though Marc confirmed to him that Steven was basically an emotional protector, and Marc doesn’t want Steven to see (I think Marc was co-conscious for them, which is why he knew about them). I think that Marc IS semi-aware of Jake and hides him from Steven (more about this in the discussion about Steven’s “death” in the predictions section) but doesn’t acknowledge him because Jake has most of the physical trauma memories. Again, I want to also mention that I think Jake is the one who has the more suicidal tendencies that may have landed Marc in the Asylum in the first place (I think it was also Jake on the statue willing to kill himself, as an aside), and is more violent as a result of the abuse, so his first reaction is always to fight when he’s confused / scared.
In that first scene, the character fronting speaks with a different cadence than Marc OR Steven, is more aggressive than Marc, and uses very short sentences or accusatory statements which neither really do. I suspect he doesn’t front often so he’s REALLY uncomfortable in any social situation, and I imagine that once he realizes where he is (”oh fuck, this fucking hospital crap again”), he isn’t having any of it. He’d rather end it for all of them than deal with this shit again, even if it is just a sublevel in the innerspace.
Also on the topic of the three therapist scenes, I REALLY like that it’s Steven who is the most skeptical of the whole thing. Steven’s scene immediately follows upon the realization that he’s “made up” and it really shows who he is for Marc: he knows this whole thing is bullshit, notices everything in the room is bullshit, and knows Harrow is bullshit. I think the only reason he gets thrown off is because he’s forced to face a reality he’s not “made for”, the fact that their mom is dead (which is something Marc never wanted to confront, so they both in turn struggle with this).
I don’t know why, but the line “When Danger is Near, Steven Grant Has No Fear”, and having Steven read it out loud, DESTROYED me. That was when I realized that Steven was probably an emotional protector of sorts for Marc. Steven fronts anytime Marc is experiencing severe emotional pain or trauma. This is further explored when Marc refused to go to his mother’s shiva, and then broke down in the street, feeling guilty about her death (I suspect it was suicide, and Marc feels like he caused that by not saving RoRo). And OH MY LORD Steven’s face when he SAW Marc switch, watching Steven REALIZE his importance and who he is for Marc. That single look that showed it clicked for Steven, and him dropping his head in empathy and sadness destroyed me. I sobbed. That was the moment Steven accepted that they protected each other, that he was more than “a stress ball” for Marc. FRIG I love them SO much.
Also, it breaks my heart at how nonchalant Marc is about his suicidal ideation. As someone who also struggles with dark thoughts on my worst days, it HURT hearing some of those lines come out of his mouth, because I for sure have thought some of those things too.
I have a lot of mixed feelings about Steven’s “death”, and I high key REALLY hope that they don’t permanently turf him. Again, I’m not a professional, but to me the surface reading of the whole thing is that their scales wouldn’t balance because Steven existed, and the scales only balanced because Steven was removed from the picture, which to ME implies that Marc needed to be “cured” of his mental illness to be “saved” and “allowed into paradise”. I REALLY hope I’m wrong on this, but that feels like a REALLY troublesome message to portray for actual DID systems.
I remain hopeful of Steven’s fate mainly because a few Systems on YouTube explained that alters never actually “die”, that they either fuse with another altar or go “dormant”. I hope for the latter, obviously, because I love Steven, and because I REALLY don’t think that, again, it does Steven justice as a fully-fleshed character in the show. Having him come back in some way would be an emotionally powerful scene, I think.
And because I need you guys to feel this pain too: I am compromised by Marc after Steven sacrifices himself. Marc absolutely LOST it, his voice broke as he called out for Steven (the third cry for Steven specifically, FUCK), and then Steven’s LAST WORD is “Marc!”, and Marc’s final words before “paradise” are pleading for Steven’s life. Like, stab me in the face with a fork, HONESTLY. There’s NO FUCKING WAY that those scales are balanced properly, Marc CLEARLY still needs Steven.
Also, the fact that Steven is being painted subtextually as “the replacement for the brother Marc lost” and then Marc having to deal AGAIN with the trauma of losing another brother, in a sense, is really heartbreaking.
The foreshadowing in episode one of Steven’s demise in this episode where, yeah, it DOES hurt for Steven being rejected from the Field of Reeds is a big “wow thanks I hate it” for me.
I’m SO sorry, I can’t get over them “Bing-Bonging” Steven. He was my comfort character. They need each other. Steven is the brains, the empathy, the honesty... Marc NEEDS him... No way Marc “solved” his “issue” with a 10-minute magical mindfuck quest! Now that he understands, they need to learn to work with each other. I’m sorry I’m SO hung up on this, but Marc is NOT OKAY. HE NEEDS STEVEN.
OKAY moving on, sorry. I like the subtle implication (or maybe it’s just me because my brain is always on subtext mode) that The Field of Reeds is, to Marc, basically his version of hell. My support for this: the whole episode up until this point showed that Marc doesn’t really like being alone, or is very used to being able to “turn to” someone at all times. When the camera pans out from the Reeds, they ephasize just how BARREN and isolating it is. An eternity of solitude for a man who is used to always having voices around him... jesus, I can only imagine how alone he felt in that moment, feeling like the solitude is essentially punishment for his perceived failure at protecting those close to him.
Another “hmm” to me, and PLEASE forgive me for this one because I am not Jewish nor religious at all, so I could be REALLY off-base and ignorant here so correct me if I’m erring... but if “an afterlife” is based on the beliefs of the person, why is a Jewish man being condemned to an Egyptian afterlife? I mean, I can suspend my disbelief and blame it on “Marc died on Egyptian soil in a sacred Egyptian tomb, ergo: Egyptian afterlife”, but I’m just curious if this is a thing from the comics or if it’s just some multiverse shit LOL. It’s just been niggling at me, is all. Don’t know why.
And now some predictions for the next episode (possible spoilers ahead):
I really don’t think Steven is gone (SORRY I CAN’T). My evidence for this is both in the show itself AND from what I understand about the comics. In the comics, The Three are a HUGE part of the Moon Knight character, each altar fronting when their unique skills are required, each working together in tandem to put them ahead of their opponents. To basically turf one completely, I think, would do a huge disservice to him.
In the show, I STILL stand firm about my “two hearts on the scale = Steven’s alive” point. One heart each for Steven and Marc; it makes no sense that BOTH hearts balanced but only ONE altar “made it”. That said, and referencing my way-above point about Marc hiding Jake from Steven: the whole series has been about Marc essentially hiding his entire life from Steven to ensure Steven always had “a good life”, so what’s to say that Marc ALSO didn’t hide Jake from Steven, because Marc knows Steven is not-okay with violence... and in turn, Steven can’t die because it’s an unfair judgement without the “whole being”. I have a feeling that will be the “twist” that gets them out of the bind they’re in: Marc has to admit that there is a third, so the scale wasn’t weighing their entire person, essentially pitting the Ennead’s strict rules against them. I have a feeling (given the clues they threw in all season) that their “sentence” will be ruled by one of the Ennead as an illegitimate or unjust ruling because the System is actually THREE people, not two, so there’s the loophole that gets them out.
And obviously, I believe Jake will finally be revealed, but not necessarily be explained because it’s Disney+. More as an afterthought, or flashbacks? Or a post-credits. Either way, they need to address the big-assed elephant in the room (though at this stage in my fandom life, I’m used to showrunners avoiding said elephant).
I think Jake has been on the boat this whole time... perhaps the orderlies who were chasing Marc in the previous episode heard him banging on the sarcophagus, let him out, assumed it was Marc, and dragged him back to the office kicking and screaming, resulting in the banged-up face (which is the first scene with Harrow). Only flaw with this is that Jake knows about the hippo, so maybe there’s some bleeding between the three of them? ACTUALLY, this could be the case, because Marc relives his brother’s death in-time with Steven when only Steven finds the memory, even though he’s not there, so yeah, there is the semi-telepathic link they have in this place simply because they share the body. Hmm.
Also, I REALLY hope Marc actually acknowledges aloud or accepts that he has DID. It’s not actually ever been mentioned on the show, just in the first episode’s synopsis that he has it, so I think finally putting a name out loud to what Marc is going through in the final episode is important.
I think this infamous scene will either be referenced, OR called back to in the future. Because a BIG part of the character, from what I understand, is that they accept themselves as a System, and learn to work together to be a formidable opponent.
And because I’m kind of liking this theory I’m seeing going around (that ties into that above link): Khonshu is revealed to be the true “baddie” of the season, not in a villainous way but in a “I’ve been grooming this mentally-ill child since I disappeared his brother so he’ll be perfect for me in the future” morally-grey dick of a character sort of way.
I also want to re-state my hopes that Steven becomes the primary fronting character mainly because I feel like his character is the most unlike any of the others the MCU seems to be introducing in Phase 4, so I think his dynamic with the others will be an interesting watch. Again I’m biased because I love Steven so much.
I should probably write this after the next episode, but I’ll state it here because I don’t want to forget: I need Layla to be a “major minor character”. I absolutely think she will show up again given her ties to Madripoor, and I ABSOLUTELY want her to still remain in a relationship with the System. They all have such good chemistry and I would be saddened to see it end.
I’m a bit wary on this last episode, to be honest. There seems to be TOO much to wrap up in 45 minutes (Harrow, Khonshu, Layla, Steven/Jake, saving the world), especially if this is a one-off series... I’ve found Marvel’s dropped the ball on almost every one of these final episodes of the D+ shows, and good lord I’ll be upset if they do it again. I’m TRYING to stay positive because Isaac IS the executive producer on this show and he seems to be a good dude who takes mental health seriously and seems to genuinely want to deliver the best with this character, so I’m not gonna judge until Wednesday’s finale.
I know the big-wigs are saying there’s only one season, but I suspect that might be a big fat lie, provided that Disney continues to allow Oscar to have some creative control over the character (plus I believe the director also said that he’s interested in a second season). They lied about LOKI only having one season right until the end credits of E6, so I don’t think it’s beyond the realm of possibility. And, if there is one, I think the second season will focus on the system learning to work together now that they’re all aware of each other, or they’ll adapt more radical aspects of the Lemire run of the comics (which this show is heavily influenced by) that had to be omitted for the series.
I think the ending or post-credits will somehow tie into Multiverse of Madness. I REALLY don’t think it’s a coincidence that the timing of this show’s final episode airs the day before MoM comes out (PLUS there were confirmed reshoots and scheduling changes of MK and MoM). I’m hearing / reading conflicting stories, but one account I read mentions that Strange and MoonKnight did interact together in a comic series or a few issues, as well as they are rumoured to be working together in an upcoming D+ Series. Who knows at this point... I’m trying to avoid leaks and spoilers for anything, so I’m probably off base.
Another prediction for the Post Credit: IF Steven is back-seated the whole episode, I think the post credits is where we get the reveal he’s alive.
And despite Oscar’s protests of MK being a one-and-done for him because he doesn’t want to get franchised, I think he will return in the future, because I suspect their deal to even GET him was to let him have control over the treatment of character. People are speculating he’s going to return in the rumoured Werewolf by Night Halloween Special, and in Midnight Suns, AND possibly the next Avengers movie.
Anyway, I really don’t know what to expect of the final episode... it’s a free-for all at this point, but I really want to see more of MK. I love him, he’s such an interesting and different character that they can do SO much with, and Oscar is the PERFECT choice for him. I do think that this show will ultimately end up being my fave D+ show, if they stick the landing regardless of Steven’s fate.
I am so pumped for this new era of Marvel because I really like mind-fucky types of things, and I am excited to see them go whole-hog on the mysticism and dimension/reality stuff. I’ve always had a fascination for them, and it seems like they’re making Doctor Strange and the weird shit he deals with the new norm for the MCU. I see this as a win, honestly.
Anyway, Disney, please make another season or a movie for MK, I need more of this character.
Thank you all for reading if you got this far, and I hope you guys enjoyed my ramblings. I like writing character meta. <3

hi merryana!! any thoughts on the emmy noms? hope you're doing well :)
hi there! my thoughts are
selena gomez got snubbed! bizarre to nominate steve martin and martin short and not her when the show is very much carried by the 3 of them. emmys hate latinas though so it makes sense
i hope everyone and i mean everyone in the comedy categories loses to quinta and to abbott elementary
pam and tommy being nominated for anything is repugnant!!!
noah schnaap, winona ryder, david harbour, and sadie sink all being snubbed AGAIN despite all of stranger things' noms is SO RUDE considering they carry the acting prowess of that show on their BACKS. villain origin story honestly. we've had 5+ years of this shit
in the same vein, succession acting noms are HILARIOUS because it's a TRUE ENSEMBLE!!! there is no lead!! all of them belong in supporting why tf are jeremy strong and brian cox in LEAD??? also very telling none of the women in succession get nominated in lead categories. life imitates art, etc. ANYWAY
once again i am BEGGING the powers that be to make a DRAMEDY CATEGORY!!! the great is always losing to succession/ted lasso because its not drama enough to compete with succy and its not a traditional com like ted lasso or only murders. we as a society need a DRAMEDY CATAGORY so shows like The Great, Barry, The Flight Attendant, Hacks, etc aren't competing with pure comedies!!! its not fair for any nominees to have the complexity of their work be treated so reductively.
glad to see squid game getting acting noms as well as overall noms!!!!
anyone from euphoria except zendaya being nominated is absolutely laughable. the performances in euphoria season 2 were frankly a joke!!!!!!
foundation was snubbed!!!! imagine nominating fucking moonknight and loki over foundation in ANY CATEGORY ughhh (also just laughable these storyless CGI monstrosities from Disney would be nominated at all!
WHERE is rose matafeo in the comedy lead categories!!!!!!
drew barrymore and ziwe were ROBBED in the variety categories!!
Dickinson was snubbed in costuming, acting and cinematography
absolutely LOVE seeing severance get its dues!! weird that they snubbed Dichen Lachman, but We Know Why
I would LOVE for Kaley Cuoco to win something for flight attendant because she's so fucking good in it but the only way she'd be in with a chance is in a dramedy category. in comedy, she's gonna lose to jean smart
the only Disney+ series that deserved any nomination was the little angel who played leia in obi wan kenobi!!!!! that show would literally be NOTHING without her. she was truly a star!!!!
alia shawkat deserved SOMETHING for her incredible work in search party. this was the last year it could be nominated and she was SNUBBED. the emmys hate women of colour so much!
SEARCH PARTY, Rutherford falls, ghosts, Russian doll, the silent sea, we are lady parts, starstruck - literally the best tv of the past year and it was ALL SNUBBED
okay i am done!

thoughts about the moon knight finale?? 👀
Sorry I am answering this so late but I have many thoughts...
I think the most obvious one is that I am an absolute slut for Jake Lockley 🤪 like call me señorita and I'll be a puddle 😩
k but Layla also looked good as fuck like this is the slay we all needed
no offense but Ethan Hawke just sounds like a gringo while trying to speak any other language than English 💀 like simu was in the right for calling out his really bad Mandarin
alssoooooo...are Harrow & Ammit dead dead???? I know Jake shot them, but also I feel like they might end up coming back for season 2 🤔
I was expecting Blade to be teased but honestly I'm not even mad about that lol
fuckin Khonshu really let go of Steven and Marc knowing his ass had a loophole what a shithead
I almost cried when Marc went back for Steven and was willing to sacrifice his life for him like this is the self love we wanted in Marvel (not whatever they were trying to do for Loki skdjskghal)
AND THE FACT THAT MARC HELD THEIR HEARTS TOGETHER LIKE THAT SHIT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL WHOEVER'S IDEA THAT WAS TO PUT THAT IN THE SHOW DESERVES TO HAVE THEIR ASS EATEN IDC
I love Taweret she was such a peach and I wanted more of her :')
Moonknight is officially my favorite Marvel show. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk
