Some ideas I have about some of the Links and their brains.

This will not include all of the boys, as most of them (Time, Wind, Twilight, Four, and Hyrule) I see as being in the same basic camp when it comes to smarts and stuff, so there's nothing really for me to address there. I'm just going to point out some interesting quirks I've noticed / hc with the other four.

Warriors

It's easy to jump to the conclusion that Wars is the stupidest Link, since his game has no puzzles. I disagree. While yes, he is laughably terrible with puzzles, he is a strategic and tactical genius with a powerhouse, rapid-fire brain that can parse out an entire battle's worth of information in an instant and come to a decision in a flash. Traditional puzzles may not be his thing, sure, but that is not where his genius lies. His brain thrives on cutting through chaos with decisive action, and that is where he shines.

Sky

Has ADHD (inattentive type). Like, really, really bad inattention. Constantly spaces out and forgets things. There's a reason Fi pops up like, every half-second to remind him what he's supposed to be doing. Hylia knew what she was dealing with and planned accordingly. He is the most space-cadety of space-cadets. He'll be going along like a normal person with a normal train of thought and then he'll see a leaf floating by and completely forget what he's doing because the leaf is pretty and isn't it interesting how it moves with the wind like that and I wonder where it's going hey wait get back here—

But. Sky's mental superpower is that he is the fastest dang learner in the entire Chain. Not just with weapons or items or music like the rest of 'em, but everything. Wild's unable to cook but has all the ingredients for something he's made before? Sky watched how he did it once while helping him dice the veggies, so he'll just throw that meal together real quick. Wild let him flip through the "Ingredients" section of the compendium once, and now Sky can identify all the edible plants it listed by sight. He learned how to carve by watching Jakamar repair a couple of wooden structures one day. Sky may be a space cadet, but he's also the most potently absorbent practical-knowledge and information sponge you ever did meet.

Wild

Also has ADHD (combined type). There are literal "ooo shiny" mechanics in the freaking game. Koroks? ooo shiny. Shrine quests? ooo shiny. Every single item that Wild can pick up in the game literally sparkles. Everything about the Sheikah Slate is designed to account for this: scope pins, map stamps, inventory organization, Hyrule Compendium, Sheikah Sensor, photo album, a journal which he uses to take fastidious detailed notes of all the crap he needs to remember because he knows he'll forget all of it otherwise. He struggles to sit still for extended periods unless he is asleep or gazing into a pretty fire.

Wild is also the creative genius out of the bunch. He has the most robust understanding of fundamental physics out of the entire Chain. His visual thinking and creative problem-solving skills are off the charts. The rest of the Chain may be able to navigate with maps and compasses, but Wild can navigate foreign terrain using nothing but the environment itself. Present him with a problem and he'll think of fifty different ways to address it and all of them will usually work. He is an all-around genius problem solver and astoundingly creative thinker.

Legend

Mind like a freaking. Steel. Trap. Nothing slips past his awareness or gets forgotten. Ever. Journals are pointless because his brain is an information vault. Oh, and any puzzle he's handed better say goodby to its loved ones and make sure its will is in order because this lad will solve it before it has a chance to defend itself.

Let me just, give you an example. Just one. You see this here?

How long do you think you could remember this random character vomit without writing it down? A few minutes, maybe? Maybe a couple hours, or a day or two if you took the time to memorize it?

Try an entire journey to another country after hearing it only once.

Oh, but that's not even the most impressive part! You see, Legend didn't just hang onto one of these memorization nightmares for an entire extended trip to another land, oh no—he remembered several of them. Perfectly. As if that wasn't enough, y'all remember the item swap quests? Yeah, without notes of any kind, this Link remembered who needed what in every single one of those convoluted trading chains. All while he was busy saving the world.

The downside is that Legend's thinking is not very flexible. He operates best when there is a single correct solution to a given problem. He much prefers having concrete information to work with, rather than a vague scenario with a shrug and a, "idk, figure something out". Being dropped into a massive open world with no information other than, "alright here ya go, here's some basic abilities and a light dusting of backstory, now get out there and save the Princess!" would be an overwhelming, anxiety-riddled nightmare for this dude.

#linkeduniverse #linked universe #lu warriors #lu sky #lu wild #lu legend #sorry that ended so abruptly #I didn't really know what else to say #so there you go #those are my thoughts

Something I've been thinking about after the "solver is taking over Uzi and she might have to get mercy killed just like her mom" development

A tense situation to be sure, these drones are definitely gonna have a lot to go through with these last 2 episodes. But we can all guess it'll turn out ok in the end on the basis that, that's just how stories tend to go. A meta, non-diegetic reason not to worry.

But I'm looking for a little in universe hope that they'll manage to fix this, and I think I've found one. To explain it, we need to first take a look at Tessa and V. (prepare for a lot of reading, sorry in advance)

So, Tessa has made her thoughts pretty clear during her talk with N. This is a "for the greater good" scenario, it's either kill Uzi or the Absolute Solver kills everyone. Painful but understandable.

But then we have V. When she carries Uzi back to the others, she insists they leave right then and there, and waits for N to join her.

But he hesitates because of what Tessa has told him. V is let in on this fact when Tessa tells him she hasn't been honest with V yet. The fact Tessa says this while comforting N as he hesitates tells V that Tessa said something to him to plant doubt in his mind. It also implies, to N, that V doesn't know the gravity of the situation. But that just isn't true V has just witnessed what Uzi is capable of first hand in the operating room. Hell, she's witnessed a lot of the solver's power first hand. Such as when Uzi attacked her in episode 4, and when CYN mutated her in 5. She knows this thing is dangerous. The look she gives before they leave the operating room, and her reaction to Uzi trying to her powers when they find Doll's trap, says as much.

When Tessa offers to take a look at Uzi. V immediately shows hostility towards her over not controlling the sentinels like she said she could. Then there's her line after Tessa tells N she hasn't been honest with V. It makes sense for her to be mad after Tessa implies she's been keeping something from her. But rather than directing her next question at Tess, and saying something like: "Not honest about what?" or "What haven't you told me?". She instead turns to N and asks, "What did she tell you?" Her tone isn't just angry, it's accusatory. They're interrupted by Uzi waking up, and we get this look between Tessa and V.

A blank stare met with anger and fear.

This scene seems to put Tessa and V on separate sides.

Tessa believes there's no other option but to kill off the infected drones. She doesn't want to kill Uzi, but leaving her alive puts the universe at risk. Tessa's seen what the solver did with CYN. She's seen what it did to her parents, to the other drones, to the Earth, possibly what it did to other planets, and she can't let that happen again.

V on the other hand is protecting Uzi, something that would be pretty uncharacteristic of her before. When Uzi first shows she has her solver powers at the end of episode 3, her first reaction is to take aim with her gun. And in 4, she is shown to be terrified when Uzi turns that arrow into a flesh monster. V was still willing to kill Uzi because she was showing signs of solver infection. She only stopped when N got Uzi to calm down during her rampage. After that she was willing to cover up that Uzi ate her classmates, and now she's willing to give up interrupting CYN's plan, just so they can get an injured Uzi out of there.

Tess is 100% up for killing Uzi if it means saving everyone. V, not so much. It's hard to say that she'd let the universe get destroyed to protect her new friend. But, at the very least, V seems in favor of trying to find another solution.

It's a basically the trolley problem. Tessa's answer is - flip the switch so that only 1 person dies. V's answer is - isn't there another way?

This leaves N in between the two. Where he might have to make that choice (read might as definitely going to, because that's just how stories tend to go).

Do nothing and let 5 people die, or flip a switch so only 1 person dies Do nothing and let the universe be destroyed, or kill your best friend (read friend as love interest, like this is a historical account of two "very good friends". Because while it hasn't been outright been said aloud, that's just how stories tend to go).

So who is N to side with?

And to get what I think will be the answer, we need to look at V's says at the very end of the episode. Her final words to N and Uzi before the elevator falls.

N is yelling out for her to come with them, that they need her. V dismisses this with a simple "nah." Not even a proper no. She just brushes off the idea that they need her to come with them. Up till now, she's been trying to protect N from the truth (she did this in some pretty nasty ways, but that was her intent). But now he knows about the Absolute Solver and what happened back at the manor. He's stood up to both J and V, he's not going to go down without a fight. N doesn't need any protecting, she's willing to let him handle this alone.

Then she turns to Uzi and simply says: "Uzi, I trust you." I think is V saying she trusts that Uzi won't turn out like CYN did. She trusts her to find a way to fix this.

It's because of this that I believe the show is building up to have N side with V on this.

So they'll to stick together, move forward together, or not at all. They can work together to fix this instead of all the murder.

Ok, that's enough quoting the other episodes for parallels

So there you have, just some ideas to hold on to till we see this season end

#murder drones #episode 6 #murder drones episode 6 #media analysis #i think?#could just be rambling #you were wrong about the raptors Tess you can be wrong about the murder too

You also may good at people or a people person and good at handling money .you also loves nature and animals such as planting trees /plant ,having a (small) garden or renovating home designs to even look it more exoensive and elegant , walking in nature/forest where you find peace or who loves the idea living in a forest or you mostly enjoy plant trees to remove stress,you might own some pets since you really do love animals,somewhat has great potential in observation of other behaivor,you are wise maybe has alot of academic awards or has alot of recognition at work.You may not be afraid to show who you truely are your very confident and love yourself enough,your resposible enough either in work or in personal life but you might feel you carrying it all at once.You could also believe that someone will help you in a certain things but that only happens very rarely,you often loves to help other people but rarely receive it back too and blame yourselves for that.your fs describe you too like someone who makes choices coming from their heart rather than mind cause i do see that your kind and generous people,you could also loves fashion and makes effort to look good in other people eyes 'cause you care for your appearance and image and how people will think and will says about you but honestly talking you are already attractive by your attitude you show,to feel whole you often what's to be in a realtionship and might put effort to your relationships by being witting and appealing to your partner.

PILE TWO @daninixx

cards : the fool, six of swords rx, the empress, judgment rx, knight of wands, three of wands rx, lily and fox.

My dear pile two this person knows you are a cunning individual but your cunningness you used it in a good way this is how they see you. This person also describes you as someone who can be possessive and selfish when it comes to their partner or romantic relationships, also this person describes you as someone who has a lot of time to have self-care for themselves. This is kinda irrelevant to the topic but some of you might get pregnant before marrying your future spouse, okay getting back to the main topic lol - this person sees you as someone who is not afraid to show how much you enjoy your life, you might have this belief where everything will work out well for you like everything that happened in your life whether if it's a good or bad are have meanings, lessons and impact for you or you might believe that rules are meant to be broken but somehow you only care about your about how they feel in the moment and never worry much about the future. You are someone who has a lot of faith and charisma, someone who takes risks and challenges especially when it's creative and sometimes you could end up having problems dealing with them. They also describe you as someone who can get easily influenced by others or vice versa, someone who is very competitive, generous and courageous, someone who loves travel or the idea of traveling even though they don't have enough money to travel to other places. For some of you i'm getting that they describe you as someone who is childish and might have a very playful personality. Also I'm getting a strong feeling that two people might have different backgrounds or cultures compared to their future spouse — someone who is a foreigner. You might meet this person through social media or when you are traveling. This person also describes you as someone who is arrogant since you might come from a well-known or rich family one thing for sure is that your family monthly income is stable but you will have a noble attitude. You are competitive when it comes to new ideas like you want to be on top always or atleast on those higher rank, like you want to be always relevant to others.

PILE THREE - @alpha-axton

cards : the moon , the high priestess the chariot , page of wands , 8 of wands , the fool , 6 of wands

Beyond the Walls (Gally x Female! Reader)

Masterlist

Chapter Warings: Language, Violence, Death, Use of Y/N

Chapter 1: Introduction

I stood at the gates of the maze with Harriet and Sonya waiting for the walls to open.

“To tell you both the truth, I’m ready to get out of this icy hell.” I told the girls with a little laugh. Looking around the spring, seeing girls get up to get ready to go to work.

“Us too.” Harriet said back to me, rubbing her hands together.

“Well, look at this way we do get another girl today.” Sonya interjected with her joyful glee she always seems to have.

“Well, a newbie for Ximena to welcome into our lovely Spring.” I said sarcastically and tightened my laces. The gates start to open, and I turn to the girls standing next to me. “I’ll see y’all later.”

“Stay safe” They yell at me as I take off down the corridor.

(7 hours)

“Hey, let me go” I yelled as men dressed in all black clothing carried me away. I had just found a way out and when they came out of nowhere to grab me. They put me in an all-white room, reminding me of when it snows in the Spring.

“Hello Y/N. Do you know who I am?” A woman much older than me in all white asked me. She was a little taller than me with blonde hair and a few wrinkles in her face. Her skin is fair with some color in her cheeks. Her hair was pulled back tight making her round face pull back with it.

“Should I?” I asked.

“No, you should not. But you found a way out faster than we planned.” She sat down in a chair across from me. “And we can’t have you go back in. So, we are going to put you through another test while we wait.” she told you with a smile. A smile I didn’t like, one that told me that the ‘test’ wasn’t going to be one that I’ll like.

“What is tha-” I started before I felt a prick in the side of my neck, and everything went black. When I awoke, I was in the hottest place I ever remember being in. Looking around all I see is sand, blue sky with a hot sun, and what looked like a building in the distance. “Well, this is different.” I said to myself, I put my hands in my pockets to find a piece of paper. ‘Survive. Find Safe Haven.’ is all that is written on it. Great.

Time skip (A week)

“Come on this way.” A man told me leading me down a tunnel underground. I had been in what these people have been calling the Scorch for about a week before these men found me. And decided that I was worth keeping after I was able to steal from them without them noticing, and that I was from WCKD.

“Lawrence, we found this WCKD Immune walking around the scorch. What should we do with her?” The man said, not mentioning I easily steal from them. Another man stood next to a plant that held flowers. The man turned to me showing that he didn’t have part of his nose. He stared me up and down, thinking.

“We could sell her back to WCKD. Bet they pay good money for an immune.” The man told the man who found me. No. I’m not going back to those people ever, if I go back terrible thing will happen.

“Or I can help you. I used to do the maze and I was also a medic in my maze. I’m one hell of a problem solver and a great negotiator. I can do anything you give me and help any way I can. Plus, I stole from your man without them noticing” I said quickly to not be sold back the WCKD. “Something this guy forgot to mention, probably to save his humility.” Both heads quickly turn to me then they look at each other.

“Why were you in the Scorch by yourself?” The man asked me as he waved to me to come closer with his hand.

“I found my way out of the maze quicker than WCKD intended. They didn’t know what to do with me, so they stuck me in the middle of that waist land and told me to find a way. That was it. I wanted to go back for my friends, but they grabbed me before I could do so. Guessing so I couldn’t go and get the rest of them out, ruining whatever plans they have.” I explain to them.

“We keep her. Train her. She is going to become a great aspect to our cause.” He said, giving me a small smile. “She is not afraid to stand up and talk. We can use that to make alliances. She may also be able to help us with WCKD compounds.” He went back to his roses. “Jasper, get her a place to rest and new clothes.” the man nodded at me to follow him. “What’s your name sweetheart?” He asked me.

“Y/N.” I stopped and turned to him.

“Welcome to our world Y/N. You can call me Lawerence.”

“Thank you.” I gave Lawrence a nod before going back to following the man named Jasper.

Time Skip (4 months)

“Okay, this should be Maze Trial A. An all-boys group, from what we have gathered, they escaped just a few days ago. So, the compound should be abandoned.” I told my group as we got out of our vehicles. “What we are here for is information we can use, and any weapons left behind. But stay sharp. We don't know if WCKD has put any hidden sensors or anything like that.” We open the door with our guns ready. Walking in I see two bodies on the ground. The first one I came to was a boy no older than 14 years old, curly hair and a round face. God why does it have to be the younger ones. I pulled my mask off after feeling his pulse looking at the gunshot wound in his chest. His skin was cold and the was no pulse, not even a shallow one. “He's gone.” I told them moving to the older blonde headed looking boy, who looked to be my age. I hear a few curses from the men towards WCKD as I walk over to the other boy. He had a spear in his chest. Checking his pulse, I could feel a very light pulse. “He’s not thought. I need help over here, we got a live one.” I yelled out.

“Y/N he’s not going to make it.” The other medic of the group tells me.

“We need to save him, if he's immune. He’s worth saving.” I told him. “I need everyone else to spread out and search the compound. We move out in 30.” I yell out to everyone else as we get to work on the boy. Slowly getting him back stable and the spear out of him. That's when I notice his vines and start searching, seeing a needle looking thing next to me. “Hey, he’s been stung. I need the antidote.” I yell out, and he starts to shake. He gains some sort of consciousness back as he opens his eyes up some, looking at the other medic before looking at me. We lock eyes I give him a small smile. “Don’t worry we got you.” I told him as his eyes closed.

Time Skip (A few days)

I sat in my living area, being of a higher rank gives me a better space. Being a good friend to Lawrence gives me an even better space. I’m going over the files that were collected from our Maze A mission. Information left behind was more than we expected as WCKD usually wipe everything. I guess they didn’t have time to wipe everything, just the info on the test subjects that were being held and tested in the maze. I was focused on the task at hand when I hear a cough coming from my sleeping space. As I was the one that wanted to save the boy, I had to be the one to take care of him. One of the rules made by Lawrence. Getting up I walk over to see him already sitting up in my makeshift bed.

“How are you feeling stick?” I asked. The boy immediately jumped up and looked at me. Getting into a fighting like stance.

“Who are you, where am I, and how did I get here?” he questioned. I put my hand up to stop him.

“My name is Y/N. You're in my apartment, in a safe compound just outside the last city. We saved you from WCKD compound Maze A, a few days ago and brought you here to heal. And just so you know we are not WCKD nor selling you back.” I told him, walking farther into the room.

“How can I trust you?” He asked angrily standing up, walking towards me and towering over me. Something I didn’t take too kindly to, but it was kind of hot. Well, I can emit that the boy is a little cute.

“Because WCKD decided that they were going to take me. A female who spent the time of her life that she could remember in a frozen hell and throw her into the middle of the desert. Just because she finished one of their trials too quickly. The same female who saved you after the other medic in her group told her that it might not be worth it. That same female who gave you her bed to recover in, has been watching over you and who’s been changing your bandages for the past few days.” I say to him before turning around to walk out of the room. “You’ll meet with Lawrence in an hour, he is the boss around here. And you're welcome for saving your life.” I said as I walked away. “Oh, your new clothes are on the chair.” I called behind my shoulder. I told someone to inform Lawrence that the boy was awake.

A few minutes later the boy walks out now dressed in black pants and a gray hoodie. And if I was to tell you the truth, the boy is cute. With his short but not shaved hair and warm brown eyes. He was skinny but still built, most likely from the food WCKD gave them to eat. “You hungry?” I asked and all he does is nodded his head. I get up heading to my small kitchen, as he follows me. I make him a plain meat and cheese sandwich and he quickly eats it. Making me have a small smile which he gives back.

“Um…” he starts getting my attention. “You said something about WCKD, were you a part of it at some point?” He questions as I sit across from him at the small table.

“I’ll tell you, but you have to tell me your name first.” I told him.

“Gally.” He said very quickly as I chuckled at it.

“Hello Gally. Well, I’m just like you, a test subject of WCKD. I was put into a maze to be tested on. I got out too early and so they put me in the middle of the desert.”

“You said you came from a frozen hell. The maze I was in wasn’t frozen, and it was all boys. Well, we were all boys until.” he cut himself off.

“They made our maze different. Yours was more of a heat and humidity type environment. Mine was cold and icy. I mean we had to use ice skates instead of running the maze because it was just covered in ice. They probably did it to see which environment worked better for whatever they were needing it for.”

“And then were you all girls or?”

“We were all girls, when I was there.” I replied as there was a knock on my door. “That's the cue. Time to find out your fate Gally.” I told him with a smile as I walked him to where Lawrence was. “You’ll be fine. And don’t stare.” I said with a smile, and he just looked at me confuse before walking in.

I feel like a potato in a potato sack.

Covered in coarse, rough, Burlap.

Burlap,

The ugliest material in the world.

I wake up at eight.

Get there by nine,

The rest is an endless sea of burlap.

Why put burlap on the walls?

What could have been so wrong with the walls?

The walls couldn’t have been uglier.

I don’t think anything could ever be

That brownness.

I’ve never seen any brown like it.

How could a brown look so un-earthy.

It’s alien brown

It’s not green,

It’s not white,

It’s not even brown,

It is burlap.

I have a plant.

It’s a cactus.

I forget to water it until it dies.

I replace it with a new one when it does.

I have some pictures,

Stuck to the walls in-between the burlap.

One is of a beach.

I’ve never actually been.

The color of the ocean drained by fluorescent lights.

I have a computer too,

Usually a screen full of cells,

Like a room full of cubicles.

It stops working,

And I unplug it,

And plug it in again,

And it starts working,

I’m a problem solver just like my resume says I am.

I get mail on it sometimes with jokes.

I never laugh at the jokes,

I always say I did later on.

I’m like a rat in a lab experiment.

I’m in a maze made from tiny burlap covered walls.

But there’s no cheese,

Just an endless sea of tiny

Burlap cubicles.

But I’m not a rat,

I have two legs,

I can stand up,

And if I stand up,

I can see over the edge of the tiny walls.

I hardly ever stand up.

There’s nothing to see up there but an endless sea

Of burlap cubicles.

I stand up now,

Look out across the checkered burlap squares.

An army of hunched over data enterers staring at fluorescent flickering screens.

All I hear is the sound of clicking keys,

And a distant weird buzzing that never seems to stop,

And yet never seems to exist at all.

I need a drink.

I feel dried out like my cactus.

I walk over to the water cooler.

I’m like a hamster drinking from his giant sippy bottle.

Aziraphale: an idealist, a problem solver, a denier and a protector

A meta analysis on his growth, his choices and his actions of season 2 (with a little bit of season 1 context and possible future)

so basically I'm back on my bullshit and need to consolidate my ever growing thought on these character.

Aziraphale's core traits are highly oppositional to Crowley, this could either cause great miscommunication or provide a well needed balance to the two of them. At his core he's an idealist, he assumed the best in everyone and everything, when issues arise he tries to make the best of it and solve the problem in his own way and protect everyone (regardless of the outcome the key take away is that he tries) but this no longer applies when he's afraid. Another key trait, Aziraphale throughout his life is always plagued by the fear of losing Crowley and losing his 'angel ness' and when the root of the problem comes from one of his fears, then his final trait comes around: pure denial.

The first time they met:

The first time Aziraphale meets Crowley we see a couple things, he's already absolutely smitten, he already fears questioning the plans of god and warns Crowley because he wants to protect him, and finally he sees Crowley be unequivocally happy when he gets to build the nebula.

And then.. the angels fall, millions of angels fall, including Crowley, now demons, 'unforgivable, evil, cruel' and barred from the love of god. And oh Aziraphale must feel awful, he thinks about how he planted the seeds of doubt into Crowley, if he hadn't said anything, Crowley would never have fallen, he should have stopped him. (this likely fuels another reason why he wants to restore Crowley to angel status, he blames himself for Crowley's sadness)

When he finally meets him again in the garden of Eden, and this as now is the first time he does something 'out of line' and disobeys god. And he's already afraid, oh he's gone to far, he question Almighty's plan, what is going to happen. He carries that with him, doesn't question the flood, just continues, because he is afraid. He learns one thing: god is unpredictable, he is not safe. So what does he do? he goes into denial, he pretend that god has a plan, and it is actually good, he becomes idealistic, even in such a moment, he uses it to protect himself.

2500 BC:

This flashback gives us an interesting insight into why Aziraphale chooses to make the choices he does. After years of being afraid of not question he develops a 1 dimensional viewpoint. But when he learns of the plan he can't hold back anymore, he knows this is wrong, but its heaven, heaven is good right? This time he has to question heaven and thankfully, his demon Crowley is there to protect it all, to solve the problem for him, so he is still free (as he can) but the question still lingers, and then.. then he finally tried food. Which makes him scares him even more, he wonders if he's sinned too much (questioning, sinned for eating food etc) and finally it all comes crashing down:

"I'm ready to go."

"Go where?"

"To Hell."

His fears reaching a boiling point and then he lies, and demons lie. But he goes forward, afraid but still an angel. He doesn't realize he's in this constant peril not because he deserves to fall, but because heaven and god's rules are arbitrary, contradictory and often use the most miniscule things to hurt.

1827:

His fears over the centuries of falling, losing Crowley, and openly loving him have now manifested as this idealism to life, that if humans make the perfect choices they would be okay, he carries one dimensional thinking because otherwise, he would have to face the fact god is unfair, god is ruthless.

We get quite a lot of insight into both of their philosophies in this episode. For one, Aziraphale realizes that 'bad' deeds aren't necessarily bad when you look at it from a different perspective. And that as of now he believes in that the more your suffer/lower you start in the hierarchy of life the more 'opportunities' you have to prove yourself, but at the same time he believes in 'divine punishment'

In the context of season 2 this makes sense, he has been taught that at any moment, for any miniscule reason, god can punish them (Job, Crowley, Elspeth etc) and the way he can deal with the unpredictability of god is he chooses to be one dimensional, an action is always either black and white, stealing that body is a bad choice and to validate this opinion he uses the idea that its more 'opportunities' but Crowley attacks that thought, he shows him, do you really think that's true? and of course he values Crowley's opinion and considers it, and it breaks him a little, so he goes back and finally reconsiders his initial thought, he concludes that its actually just a plain good deed, no nuance, no greyness just good.

Even though he reconsiders he doesn't reach the root of the problem, for all his problem solving skills, he is still in denial and he still believes that heaven is good, he is still after all that an idealist, he does not want to realize that god is not always right, god sometimes hurts and attacks the weak, that its unfair, that heaven might just not be good. he at this point is well and truly in denial.

Even after Armageddon, he still views heaven as 'good, the light, the truth' after all they went through, after he watched them try and tear apart humanity he still thinks heaven is the good side. Yes he questions them more now, and wants to fix them (problem solver) but he cannot shake of the idea that carried him all his life that heaven is good. His idealism makes him believe that he could fix it, he believes that there is good in all and he can bring it out. This results in less change in his relationship with Crowley then what they both desired, his fear of losing everything because he doesn't know what could happen if they finally verbalized their feelings (fear of the unknown)

So when Metatron treats him with kindness (and also a heavy dash of manipulation) and even validates his love for Crowley, he allows himself to dream. Dream of a new era of heaven, one where he no longer has to fear, one where he can be with Crowley, where he gets to see the unbridled joy that Crowley had pre-fall when he build the nebula. But this doesn't take into consideration how Crowley would feel, to go back into a place that was traumatic, it wouldn't make him happy, it would hurt him.

While this could be dismissiveness, it's likely its actually tied to his idealism and need to protect their lives. In his head he believes he could change heaven (its also important to factor in that he at this point does not know that they are trying for Armageddon 2.0) and he believes he can protect Crowley there. So he sees this as a chance to 'solve the problem', finally escape his fear, but instead falls right back into the his denial of heavens issues, that heaven and god is not 'the light, the truth, the good' but just another side fighting for power.

Growth and the way forward

In terms of growth its clear he has in fact changed though he still has far to go, he becomes less afraid of loving Crowley openly, though he still leaves things unsaid. He uses 'our' 'we' 'us' and initiates physical contact often, and attempts to reassure Crowley. His fear always makes him be subtle, his love is quiet and unseen. When he wants to tempt Crowley, its always so very subtle, he's so afraid to make an obvious move, he dances around it, leaving a clear impression, but never anything too obvious. But in season 2, he begins initiating that vulnerability, more often than not, physical contact, to show his reassurance, his feelings and heart. While Crowley grows to show more emotional vulnerability.

But in the end he cannot grow until he sees the true reality of heaven for himself, and realizes he cannot push this idealism onto Crowley, that he is wonderful, kind and humane because he is Crowley, he loves humanity in a way heaven and hell never could, he is kind and good not because he is actually an angel, but because he is Crowley

Who is in the forget-me-nots?

FORGET-ME-NOT ROLL CALL!

First member is Bluestar of ThunderClan herself! Her friends are there for her as the makes the hardest descisions of her life. War and ambition drives a wedge between them, but they share a bond that lasts long beyond themselves.

(Also I'm just gonna make her old name Bluemoon because it is thematically appropriate tbh. She's got a wolf motif. There's no such thing as a lone wolf, she loves and was loved!)

Then there's Hoprunner and Ashfoot of WindClan, couple friends.

Ashfoot is a wise, methodical cat with a penchant for laying out all your options and considering the future.

Hoprunner is an ambitious, talented hunter with his eyes on deputyship. To do that, he also needs to also become a fearsome fighter. He likes to push the boundaries and take risks. Later, he earns the honor title Deadfoot, after inventing a battle move including using his foot gauntlet called "deadfooting."

(He has a brace to help with wrist pain which eventually evolves into a war gauntlet. It is unofficially called The Bonker)

Then there's Oakheart of RiverClan!

Oakheart is uplifting and optimistic. He has a great way of calming you down and making the group work together as a unit. He's a simple and honest cat, the heart of the Forget-me-Nots.

He names the group and suggests the flowers that come to define them. A plant that grows in all four territories.

Next up is Lizardstripe of ShadowClan!

Sarcastic and cynical, she needs the love of her friends in her wild youth, something to get her through. She says truths her kind friends would prefer not to voice, and creates plots and schemes to help them through.

She is changed significantly from her canon role! Later, Lizardstripe is the cat who acts as Bluestar's StarClan defense attorney, hatching a plan to get her best friend into heaven and reveal the Thistle Law cats for the venomous snakes they really are.

And last but certainly not least is Mr. Barley Senior himself, of none other than BloodClan!

He always seems to know exactly what's wrong, and how to preempt problems before they appear. More realistic than Oakheart but less fatalistic than Lizardstripe, he always hops in with a quip at just the right moment.

It's Barley who usually organizes these meetings. He's a great host and knows exactly how to hide them so they won't be caught. He's got a sort of mysterious air about him, like there's a lot more going on in his head than he lets on.

He is a BloodClan Solver, a role about figuring out problems. He does not wear the collar of a BloodClan Problem, the soldier role.

I've noticed a running theme in both Superman vs The Elite AND the Sonic the Hedgehog comics, and that is the question "how many second chances are too many?" In both series, the heroes are punished for letting the villains go. Superman with Atomic Skull and refusing to kill him, which lets countless other people die when he breaks out, and in the Sonic comics, Zavok explicitly states that Sonic giving him a second (third?) chance will only result in him repaying his kindness with misery, followed by flashbacks of every second chance he gave so far and their consequences. I thought it was really interesting. What are your thoughts on "second chances," and when do you think they've gone too far?

It's an interesting question, because I think it misses a fundamental element: why is it the hero's sole responsibility to stop giving these guys chances? Superman isn't the law, and Sonic the Hedgehog certainly isn't the law. The assumption that these heroes have the right and responsibility to decide to kill these guys is a bit baffling. Typically these heroes are the only ones who can reliably stop the villains, with a side helping of the power of friendship, but once the villain is stopped it's weird to act like the hero gets the sole decision to kill or spare them.

The core thesis of both of these stories and their heroes is that these heroes cannot be the people who decide who lives and who dies. They're too powerful to start making those calls. Not to put too fine a point on it, but if the US government had, after a trial, decided to execute Atomic Skull rather than hooking him up to a power plant, that would've been (a) a problem-solver for the rest of the movie and (b) actually within their rights. Superman is a private citizen. He can't just murder people because he thinks they should be dead.

I especially like how this is spelled out in the Sonic IDW comics, because it is a strongly-established theme that Sonic suffers over and over again because he won't permanently stop his villains. Instead of being framed as a failure of heroism, this is highlighted as a difficult call - essentially a personal heroic sacrifice, risking future torment to stand by his principles.

This framing is especially dope, because it frames the decision to kill a villain as what it actually is: an act of fear. An admission that the hero isn't strong enough to continue the fight if necessary, and is willing to sacrifice their own moral principles to spare themself future distress.

Someone else doing the wrong thing in response to a hero doing the right thing doesn't mean the hero should've sacrificed their principles. It just means the hero has more heroism to do.

Fundamental in this moral framing is the acknowledgement that choice is incredibly important. A hero who gives villains chances is acknowledging that this character is actively making the choice to be evil, and can always make the choice to stop. It denies the idea that some people are just inherently bad, which in turn kind of absolves those people of responsibility for their actions. If someone can never be better, then in a meaningful sense their bad actions really aren't their fault. Giving them second and third chances forces them to hold themselves accountable on some level - to recognize that they're the ones digging themself into this hole. Again, it all ties into the framing that mercy takes strength. It's an act of vulnerability to willingly open yourself up to future danger.

The argument of collateral damage, meanwhile, swings both ways. In the Sonic IDW comics, when Eggman loses his memory and winds up in a peaceful village, Sonic isn't the only person advocating for him. Everyone in the village wants to protect him too.

Shadow is the only one in team "let's kill him and solve all our future problems." Eggman regaining his memory and becoming evil again is not solely Sonic's responsibility - it's directly the fault of the person who set out to restore Eggman's memories, and indirectly the fault of everyone who advocated for Eggman's second chance, a set that includes Sonic but does not consist solely of Sonic.

In short, I think this is a very interesting theme to explore, and everyone should read the Sonic IDW comics.

York Household: Chapter 9, Part 3

In this part Reece swings by to visit Deanna and Kelly throws his final child sleepover.

The Yorks are Italian so if you see them using words that don't look like English it's Italian, or what google assures me is Italian. Caro/Cara: Dear Buongiorno: Good morning Piccolo: Little one Tesoro: Treasure Nonno: Grandfather Nonna: Grandmother Si: Yes Grazie: Thank you Per Favore: Please Buon Compleanno: Happy Birthday

Devin: But why are you going to make nectar

Calista: I’m a maker cara, I like to create. Plus we’re Italian. If there’s an opportunity to make nectar, how could we not embrace it

Devin: Well sure but do you really have to stomp in it

Calista: If you want it done authentically, si

Devin: Do you like… wash your feet first

Calista: Si but the acidity of the juice and the fermentation kills anything troubling

Devin: Well if you give me any it better have gone through extra fermentation

*doorbell*

Paris: I’ll grab it

…

Paris: Reece! Come in. Deanna is pretty busy with coursework but I’m here

Reece: Oh right! We’re doing different majors, I forgot the programme she wanted to get into was starting this week

Paris: Yeah she’s swamped but she’s bound to take a break in the next hour. How have you been

Reece: *smiles* Happy. What about you?

Paris: Still waiting for inspiration for the future

Reece: What do you mean

Paris: Why are you doing a biology degree

Reece: Me? Well I love nature

Paris: So you’re not just doing it because your sisters did it

Reece: *somewhat offended* No Paris, I’m not. I’m capable of making my own decisions

Paris: How did you pick it? I’m not trying to be snarky, honest, I just don’t know how critical thinking works

Reece: Oh. I thought about what I like, what I enjoy, who I am. Biology seemed the best path forward

Reece: But higher education isn’t for everyone. Like my sister-in-law doesn’t have a degree, neither does my sisters fiancé. And who knows if Samir will ever feel like studying

Deanna: What are we talking about

Reece: How we picked degrees. Let me guess, you looked in to the eyes of a robot and “knew”

Deanna: Come here you goof, I’ve not seen you in ages

Reece: I’m a genius actually, I just be a goof because I know you like comedy

Deanna: I am taking a comedy elective

Reece: Shut up, you are not

Devin: She needs something to break up the big brain classes

Deanna: There’s far more pre homework than I realised

Reece: You’ll handle it, you’re a problem solver

Deanna: Not always. Devin, you want to tell the story about-

Devin: YES. So there we were, a teen and her two kid siblings, berated by the constant crying of our newborn brother. When he finally fell asleep ma also had to sleep, and pa had an important case, so who was in charge of our dinner? The three of us

Devin’s story is of course filled with drama, chaos and problem solving so poor it leaves Reece speechless.

Paris: But you’re older now babe, you can make better decisions

Deanna: Maybe. I’ve got some free time now if you’d like to test out my decision making…

Reece: As an understander of innuendo I’m going to take my leave

Devin: Right behind you. Have fun you two, I’ll see you for family brunch

Kelly’s friends arrive at 5. Unfortunately the clouds are still hanging around so it’s hard to see the meal Aaron cooked for them.

Fergus: Is this chicken

Kelly: Of course it’s chicken, the roast is right there

Anya: Will we watch a movie tonight

Chasity: I want to do more scary stories

Drake: I’ve thought of one that’s going to blow your old one out of the water Kelly

Kelly: *scoffs* dream on

Atlas: Thanks for dinner Mrs York

Calista: Kelly’s pa cooked it but I will tell him you appreciated it

Calista: They’re movie watching, should be mostly quiet for a while

Aaron: Good. I need to do more cooking to get us through the week

Calista: I was thinking by Kelly’s birthday most of the plants should have sprouted. Maybe we should take the day off work and try out nectar making properly

Aaron: Sounds like a plan captain

Calista: *giggles* I’m going to go stargaze for a bit, if I can see anything through these clouds

Anya: Yes, a space one, they’re the best

Kelly: It’s called sci-fi ninny

Anya: Bite me

Atlas: Shh you lot, I want to watch

Chasity: You did put on the subtitles right

Kelly: I did

Drake: I hate subtitles

Kelly: Well I hate your face and I survive seeing it

Fergus: Chin up Drake, it’s good manners to make sure everyone can understand what the characters are saying

Chasity: I do appreciate having them

Anya: We know Chasity, and I don’t mind them

The kids mostly quieten down as the film starts. Fergus pulls out a toy to play with mid movie but ends up bonking himself in the head.

Chasity: You okay Fergus

Fergus: Absolutely

Kelly: Maybe you have a concussion and you’ll die

Fergus: Then I’ll haunt your house

Kelly: Oh I’m pretty sure there’s already ghosts all around us, just waiting for the chance to possess us

Paris: Did you remember to eat

Deanna: Huh?

Paris: Did you have dinner while I was having a shower. Please tell me you didn’t go straight back to work

Deanna: *laughs* Don’t worry, dinner has been eaten

Paris: This is good. Your pa is a great cook

Deanna: Always says he picked up his skills traveling with ma but I think my nonna and nonno taught him a few tricks first

Paris: Well I’ll be watching some TV. When you’re ready to sleep come grab me okay

Deanna: Sounds good

Joey: What’s happening back here

Deanna: Shh! Studying

Joey: *whispers* hey ma

Calista: *whispers* caro, what are you doing here so late

Joey: I thought I’d crash Kelly’s sleepover again but he really didn’t want me this time

Aaron: No kidding. I went in to get a book I’d lost and he glared daggers at me until I left

Calista: It’s his last chance to meet his slumber party aspiration, it matters to him. Now Joey, are you bringing anyone to brunch *raises eyebrows*

Joey: No ma, I do not have a girlfriend I’m bringing to brunch

Calista: It doesn’t have to be a girlfriend, I know you don’t want one

Joey: Thanks but I don’t think my one night stands are the kind of women who enjoy a family brunch with a guy they just met

Inside the sleepover continues. The kids exchange banter now and then while the film runs but eventually it ends. At that point the scary stories start! Kelly has not prepared one this time but he enjoys listening to what the others think is scary, and periodically yelling interruptions to scare everyone. After the stories they put some kids pop on the stereo and have a dance battle. The sleepover reaches gold level and Kelly smiles at his success! (so does Bun Bun) Kelly has officially completed his childhood aspiration!

i dont remember if i reblogged it but i saw that "sorcerers vs wizards learning how to do magic from each other" post, and it made me think about my Unnamed Dream WIP a bit

the magic system isn't fully fleshed out yet, but what i do have is a part language/part physical component system that some people can do and some people don't. haven't hammered out the details of why someone can be a mage and others can't, but the magic language used to cast spells is literally the language of the dead. it's the language things speak in the afterlife, and you're basically calling on their powers and asking them to help you. the components are things like plants and bones and such because you need the essence of certain dead things to have certain impacts and create different spells and whatnot.

the thing about the language is that, when humans are speaking it, it comes out like singing. it sounds like you're humming it to yourself if you pronounce it correctly because that's just what spirits are like. Asim the protagonist is a mage who does this song-magic and casts spells with what components he can find in the wilderness or trade for with other villagers - he's the wiseman/problem solver of his local village, which is very poor, and doesn't have a lot of resources. as a result, he has a limited amount of spells he can cast, but he can get more potent spells by calling on the dead correctly -- i.e. pronouncing their language right.

the magic users in the capital city, however, have access to universities and libraries and gardens and merchants and breeding populations of rats to get skulls from etc. etc. etc.. they don't really have to worry about their spells being perfect, because if one fizzles out, they haven't wasted their only bones. as a result, they don't prioritize pronouncing the language without the melody -- they chant it instead of sing it, because it sounds more authoritative, and are inherently saying it wrong. plus they can use so many resources in one spell that it doesn't really matter. if you have 12 rat skulls to burn, at least one spirit is bound to hear you through the terrible accent and come help out.

so when Asim gets to the capital and starts singing to his spell components everyone's like oh my god this guy......smh he doesn't even T-pose to assert dominance. it automatically marks him as an outsider -- even worse, an uneducated poor. and since classism is a major theme of the story, that's gonna be uh. fun!

anyway i hope you enjoyed this unhinged rant

Tis I, @eternal-transcience, for matchmaking out of pure curiosity!

Brief description (as best I can!) :

Personality - reserved and shy at first, probably obvious social anxiety but it clears up after a little bit of nice chatting, easily flustered and tickled pink but doesn't make good jokes (I am the joke!), and very full of affectionate banter! The one folks come to for advice, but not at all good at going to people for it or help (I forget I have the problems whn I'm around people I enjoy and then remember them when I'm alone!). Every so often I have Brain blips/gremlin thoughts but usually deal with them on my own - sometimes they come out though but, again, doesn't last longer than a few hours. Pretty chill. Sticks to one self. But can be confident when necessary! Think - around a friend I'm just socially accepted as leader and I have not been asked about it! Biggest fear (aside from spiders haha!) is being ignored and unknown thus fading away to nothing in three seconds haha!

Likes: Gardening (flowers mostly!), cherry blossoms, sweet food (marzipan and cake mostly), nice walksbin the countryside, more so in summer. Birdwatching whilst drinking a cuppa and looking out the kitchen window. talking to the creatures of the garden and land an plants. drawing writing. peace. but also having a good laugh.

dislikes: verbal and emotional chaos! horror of all kinds. anything too loud. slimy things. wearing anything too revealing. not being listened too!

(hopefully it's not too long!)

Yen Ori'ken's Valentine's Day Matchmaker Services

Yen: Another lovely profile :) Thank you for sending it in, @eternal-transcience!

I believe your best match this Valentine's Day would be ...

Sergeant Hunter of Clone Force 99. Hunter may have a reputation for being the broody older brother of the so-called "Bad Batch". But that's mostly talk. Like you, he doesn't open up to new people easily, but he does have his enhanced senses as a secret weapon to help build bridges.

Hunter respects the hell out of fellow problem solvers, particularly ones who show up for their friends/family to offer advice and support. Loyalty and acts of service are big things to him, and he will be drawn to those traits in you.

He'll also help you start recognizing when you need the support yourself. Those enhanced senses come in again here, and while he's no mind reader, he'll know if something is up - even if your mind hasn't caught up with your body yet. He won't let you fade away.

I believe the two of you would enjoy a lovely date going for an (easy) walking hike, taking your time to enjoy the natural surroundings. Maybe do a little bird watching before returning back into town for lunch in a local cafe.

I hope you enjoy your Valentine's Day date, and thank you again for writing in!

#i hope you like it!#tbb hunter #valentine's day ask game #tbb #the bad batch #tcw #the clone wars
