So I had this little idea from this post
https://www.tumblr.com/emenens/698336693060796416/imagine-sonic-started-feeling-betrayed-by-his-own 
Sonic due of the events in the Metal Virus Arc (and his traumas thanks to Infinite in Forces) turns his back againts his friends and joins the evil side, but after all he’s done to Eggman and his Empire, how does Eggman gonna truly believe him? well he gives him his second most hated enemy; Tails. 
I imagine the scene like this: Tails wakes up in the middle of a Morbian- sized test tube with no idea of where he is or how he end there but with Sonic in front on him, he asks him what happend and if he’s alright but Sonic only awnsers with one word “Hypocrite”. 
Wh-what Sonic? - He asked.  That you’re a hypocrite a liar just like the others.- Sonic awnsers.  Tell me did you really cared about me? When I was in war? - Sonic.  O-Of course I did! - Tails Then why did you leave me? Why did you never found me? Why did you and the others forget about me? It looks like I was his last resort when they free me from the Death Egg.- Sonic  Tails stays in shock and then apologizes, for everything, for leaving him alone while he was fighting Infinite, during the prision, that he leave the resistance because they stop searching for him, that he always try to find him back there and that he was sorry that he never had the chance to say it. Sonic stays silent while all of this and then says.  I forgive you Tails, in reality that’s the reason I bring you here. - Sonic ..... Hold on .. Bring me?- Tails
Yeah you know while I was ... back with Infinite, he show me a lot of things with the.... Phamtom Ruby, mostly nightmares, lies, of you and the others hating me.... Blaming me, I always thought they were lies back there... But you know ... With Mr Tinker, Starline, the Metal Virus I found out he wasn’t showing me lies at all .... he was showimg me the truth... About  Everyone, Espio, Silver, Knuckles... Shadow... So I choose ¿Why keep doing good things if they’ll always took the blame on me? You know, the only one that give me a short of ... Confort back then... Was Eggman and... I decided it brother... I won’t be the good guy anymore... I’m going to make Karma for them... for everyone... But don’t worry!! I promise I’ll keep you safe right? so that’s why you’re were! Eggman was kind enough to give me one of his ... Test tubes and while you’re inside there you’ll be alright! Save and Sound! - he says with a smile on his face. 
Tails... Tails is paralized and he begs, begs his brother to not do it, that is has to be another way, that nobody mean it seriously, that if he lets him go the others could explain it, but he only awnsers. 
To late little brother... six months late, but don’t worry we will always be together, just as promised. - And Sonic pushes a buttom that slowly fills the tube with a green liquid that when it covers him, send Tails uncousous. 
This small amount of angst is for  @emenens

Lately I'm coming back to all my comfort characters. One of them is Daryl Dixon from TWD.
So I was listening to "As the world caves in" and inspiration come to me too strong to be ignored. It hit me hard with a whole plot. I wanted to read something like it but didn't find a anywhere. Not with the vibe I felt daydreaming with it while listen this song. So I remembered a fic I was writing years ago and It was this plot 😅 but no as deep as it should. Well I went back to the fic with a more strong idea of who my OFC was and who she was to Daryl.
Imagine: a protagonist who is friends with Daryl since they are kids (9 and 6 years)
- They grew up together, fell in love so hard, so deeply and so so much that it was like they're destine to be together
- Her parents thinks "he is no good for her". Her mom likes Daryl but not enough for him to be family and her dad hate their relationship
-Merle causes (accidentally) her mom's death
- When she went to college, her father makes sure they couldn't stay in touch
- Daryl needs to move because Merle ran from prison and they never talked again
- They went throughout their adult life with this feeling so strong inside of them, unable to get rid of it because they never close this page since they were 18 years old.
- Both keep this relationship in the past as a precious secret, to hurtfull and beautiful to even think of it.
- Walkers happens and they find eachother years later at the beginning of the prision arc and will figure everything out
well I wanted read something like it for soooo longe now and maybe some people wanna read something like it too? I think I might be posting. English it not my 1st language.
And this, this would be his face seeing her for the first time in so many years and Uuuuughhhhhhhhh I can't, but I will... Aaaahh
Tumblr media
And Charlie Heaton is Young Daryl 😌 change my mind. you won't!
He in his 16's

He in his 20's

I don't exactly remember if it was you who thought about Saitama being trapped in time travel loop where he can't actually save the Earth from destruction. Anyways, the first thing that came to my mind was Mogami's arc from Mob Psycho (even though it isn't exactly the same). And then I wondered, what if some superpoweful mind-controling monster made Saitama went through something similar? (Let's forget he can punch through dimensional seals like in Phoenix Man's space) An empty grey world where everything is the same but something changed, the inflexion point: he doesn't have Genos. You can already guess what comes next , he doesn't join the HA, people think he's a cheater, they blame him for the meteor accident... His depression gets worse fueled by his loneliness and the ingratitude he receives. I know this is the typical build of villain Saitama au, but when he's at the edge of falling into the dark side he hears Genos calling him "sensei". At first he doesn't know where that voice comes from but his conscience keeps telling him he' missing someone very important. And when he finally remembers Genos he realizes how lucky he is to have him around and that he should value more his own feelings. That way he snaps back to reality and breaks away the mental prision he's been stuck in and wakes up in the middle of the battlefield. He kills the monster and Genos runs to him worried and startled that his sensei seems happier than usually. And Saitama doesn't say anything, but he knows his feelings are back, at least a bit.
OMG, this ended up being a whole fanfic XD
Sorry for the late answer!
That's a pretty darn cool idea and probably not at all unrealistic, since it's a formula ONE has used before.
I think you're refering to this post of groundhog day inspired by Majora's mask? Where the moon falls down and destroys earth?
I honestly thought that since we got time travel, we might as well have fun with it hah.
And if I am honest about superpowered mind-controlling monster?
He does fit the bill. Very well in fact.
Tumblr media
If anything has been exhibited about OPM God's powers, is that they've always been affecting the consciousness.
He's a being who cannot be seen via normal means and only subconsciously. Even when he comes out of the dimensional space he resides in and his power creates thunderstorms to appear, his form cannot be perceived via normal means. Even Saitama only barely perceives him via subliminal messages like voices.
Tumblr media
And the only time people seem to be able to perceive OPM God is within their consciousness or when they are in altered state of consciousness like Tatsumaki was barely awake. It would seem that God just resides in a higher plane of existence and there are hints towards God's non-physical form residing in the spiritual plane of all places.
That is, realm of the dead. Heaven, essentially. Not unlike the biblical god.
We did get a confirmation in CE and Phoenixman fight that the spiritual plane does exist and then Garou's spirit also made an appearance.
Then what OPM God did to Garou...it wasn't pretty. It was mind control, plain and simple. A bit more subtle than that but essentially yea.
And now that future Garou died...it begs the question that if OPM God resides in the spiritual plane...is Garou's soul even safe? What happened to his soul?
I have thought about this before and the Sanzu river mentioned by Zombieman and some easter eggs in OPM game and I have a feeling we'll find out at some point. Because God did not manage to do to future Garou what he did to Homeless Emperor after all.
Garou did die, but the way he died was distinctly different from HE. I hypothesise that Garou turned HIMSELF into salt to ward off evil, because otherwise God would just kill him and take his life anyway.
Tumblr media
The interesting part though is that God just...kind of let this happen anyway.
Why didn't it just instantly suck out Garou's life? I can only hypothesise that Garou dying and Saitama learning time travel and going back still serves it's purposes. That it was meant to happen all along.
However, it means that if God resides in the spiritual plane, then Garou dying can still achieve a purpose.
There's one thing about the God's mural which references to the Aztecs, the temple shape itself.
The rationale for Aztec human sacrifice was, first and foremost, a matter of survival. According to Aztec cosmology, the sun god Huitzilopochtli was waging a constant war against darkness, and if the darkness won, the world would end. The keep the sun moving across the sky and preserve their very lives, the Aztecs had to feed Huitzilopochtli with human hearts and blood.
And then I was tickled a bit about what Joe Rogan mentioned about the aztecs. And their religious practices.
"The aztecs used to burn people when they were alive to really like freak them out. And then take their brains out and eat their brains. Because of all the hormones and all the things that were going on. But they found it gave them you know, whatever superhuman strenght or religious ecstacy."
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In short, it probably slurps the life out of people's physical bodies and then noms the souls. And probably get more powerful that way. Phoenixman gives some good and apt metaphors about how God seems to be working in general. A depiction of Hungry ghost Preta.
I bet the more powerful the person is and the higher they can reach by stretching their limitations, the more powerful their soul is and by taking that power, it can get stronger.
Chances are, the Limiter is just a limiter to the power in that person's soul.
And there's probably a connection somewhere deep down in the lizard brain, the pineal gland. We've had some depictions of brain works before when Psykos merged with Orochi.
In the epithalamus of some species of amphibians and reptiles, it is linked to a light-sensing organ, known as the parietal eye, which is also called the pineal eye or third eye.[8] René Descartes believed the human pineal gland to be the "principal seat of the soul."
Tumblr media
Anyways
If God is able to affect the consciousness and behaviour of people and also suck the life (read: soul) out of them by staring...who knows what happens when it gets even more power or there are more cracks in the dimensional seal.
Who knows what kind of mind fuckery it can exert upon people?
And since it created the limiters on humankind, there's probably no limits as to what it can do itself.
It is not to be underestimated.

The Growing Divergence of Fyodor and Dazai
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: The interactions between Fyodor and Dazai in relation to seeing a growing difference in Dazai and Fyodor's characters. In their view of humanity and how they strategize, and connections to some aspects of the DOA arc, it may inform us about what may be expected in the prision break out arc, and make sense of their respective strategies in Chapter 97.
Warnings: Spoilers for post-canibalism arcs (the manga) and Dead Apple
A/N: Knowing the bsd fandom, I'm quite certain that some of what I have analysed probably has been done by some others before me, but my dearest friend @n1kolaiz convinced me to write his so, here are some of my thoughts :)
Also thanks to @n1kolaiz and @alittlesimp for discussing the manga with me and helping me come to this idea; credit for the translations of manga panels goes to @czkkn-upload and Dazaiscans
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1. The similarities between Dazai and Fyodor
1.1 How other characters view Dazai and Fyodor
1.2 How Dazai and Fyodor view each other in terms of similarities
2. The Differences in how Dazai and Fyodor view humanity
2.1 Dead Apple
2.2 Cannibalism Arc
2.3 Decay of Angels Arc
3. Insights on Manga Chapter 97 and final thoughts
I had only recently been caught up with the recent arc, and of course, I have been aware that quite a lot of fans have been finding the plot a bit stagnant in its development. I, myself have been seeing a difference in the current arc’s focus too in comparison to the others. Especially with the shift in its focus from one being character-driven to one more plot-driven. I personally would be lying if I were to say that this change did not puzzle me. However, I still feel that there are some connections to the series’ previous developments, in particular the main source of this stagnation -- with Dazai and Fyodor, so I thought I’d put down some of my personal thoughts. And I believe that this arc continues, as had in previous arcs and interactions between the two, a growing difference the can be found between the two characters, a clearer indication of their respective views on humanity, and perhaps comments on the unpredictability of human kind. So, shall we begin?
1. The Similarities Between Fyodor and Dazai
I personally believe that it has long since been established that Fyodor and Dazai act as foils for each other in BSD. For those who are unfamiliar with the term, a foil in literature is a character who is contrasted with another character, in order to highlight or differentiate certain qualities. Over the course of their interactions with one another, we have begun to see how similar the two of them are, in aspects such as their intelligence, their way of thinking and their (once) common sense of boredom with people. 
In fact, these similarities are so obvious that both the characters themselves, as well as characters around them had commented, either directly or indirectly on such. And though this notion is perhaps rather obvious, let us use this to review them.
1.1 How other characters view Dazai and Fyodor
“Devils”, “aliens”, “monsters”, “demons”. Since the two of the characters have been introduced, and placed next to one another, we have well been made aware of their similarities, and it is often that we see these two grouped together with such terms. This is especially so during their encounter in Dead Apple, and in the current arc. 
Beginning with that of Dead Apple, in the epilogue, we saw Ango describing the two of them, along with Shibusawa. Each of the three, as described in the novel, had “a mind so extraordinary that [they] seemed almost alien”, and he commented, and seemed sympathetic of how lonely and isolated being one of them may feel. This feeling of course, had been present in Dazai’s own past, and had been especially clear during his time in the mafia. 
During the current arc, with a closer proximity between the two characters, having gone to jail, we have a wider view of how the other characters view these two “demons”. This opportunity in itself is not a usual one, nor one in which we would easily be able to view with the previous arcs or developments. In the manga itself, even Dazai himself also commented such “that’d definitely be impossible without a chance like this” in Chapter 64. 
For one, during this arc, we are once again given awareness to the similarities in their intellect. Even Ranpo had commented that going up against Fyodor’s plans “almost feels like going up against Dazai”. During their time in prision, we are once again reminded of it, and how in sync they are with each other when we found out in Chapter 74.5 that they are speaking in their own language or code which they put together from past conversations. I also quite like how this panel was depicted with a line passing through the two of their minds, further emphasising this point.
Their profiles too, especially emphasised by the fact that they are wearing the same clothes, show almost something similar to a reflection as the two are placed next to one another like this.
Tumblr media
1.2 How Dazai and Fyodor view each other in terms of similarities
Of course, not only other characters have recognized this level of similarity, the two “demons” themselves have too. This has been explicitly shown during the cannibalism arc when the two of them had met, and during the course of the arc itself as well when attempting to figure out Fyodor’s plans. 
With Dazai claiming multiple times that he had predicated or at least guessed what Fyodor’s actions entailed based on how he would have acted and what he personally would have done when placed in a similar situation. Especially nearing the end of the cannibalism arc this is further highlighted when Dazai was tasked with the act of figuring out in which way Fyodor was supposedly going to escape, and when asked for his reasoning, Dazai merely answers with, that was what I would have done. Showing how closely their way of thinking really is.
Their recognition of each other’s intelligence especially, is once again shown during the Decay of Angels arc. Beginning from the moment Dazai had entered jail, and had successfully stopped Fyodor’s attempt to kill Fitzgerald, each move that the other had done has in one way or another been stopped by the other. From this moment, to the Sky Casino arc, to when Fukuchi had gotten ahold of the weapon, demonstrating just how they each cancel one another out, therefore making the plot as of this moment rather stagnant. And even when the other had figured out their plans, the other doesn’t all seem surprised. This can be seen in the Sky Casino arc especially, during Chapter 72, when Dazai had commented saying that he had though that Fyodor had already figured out who the queen is. The two of them continue plans, expecting the other to figure it out (quite scary if you ask me). 
In additon to such showing this point, Fyodor and Dazai too in this arc had also explicitly recognize each other as someone close to equal. For example, in Chapter 64 Fyodor invited Dazai for a discussion, one that he deemed impossible unless his partner had an equal intellect to his own. And Dazai during Chapter 77, when he grouped himself with Fyodor as a person who schemes rather than being one of the people he sees as making “the world turn”. 
2. The Differences in how Dazai and Fyodor view humanity
But of course, despite how similar the two characters are, being foils, there must be something, even a single factor that differentiates them. And one of the main differences in their respective views on humanity.
Though the two of them had both felt a sense of boredom with life, as they found it predictable with their intelligence. And both of them agree that humans are “sinful and stupid”, yet their views are separated here. While Dazai finds interest and had discovered unpredictability in humans, with Oda’s help, and I also personally believe with Atsushi as well, and has a sense of fondness for humanity or at least some people; Fyodor feels the opposite, seeing them as boring and predictable, and one that should be destroyed and “cleansed”.
And thus I will be examining this view of theirs in their interactions in Dead Apple, the Cannibalism Arc and the Decay of Angels Arc.
2.1 Dead Apple
Being completely honest, Dead Apple’s plot somewhat confuses me. But all analyses on the light novel/movie aside, when we look at it as a whole, quoting Ango’s words “if we ignore  all the schemes and trickery aside, this may actually be a surprisingly simple case... Perhaps they wanted to see what [Shibusawa] would do and how he would meet his demise... or perhaps how he would be saved”. After examining the movie a couple of times, and reading some analyses, and I am hoping to read the light novel next, the plot of Dead Apple may actually be a source used to closely examine Dazai and Fyodor’s own intentions behind their actions, and may give some insights into the current arc and chapters as well.  
In a way, Dead Apple is quite interesting in how both Dazai and Fyodor are attempting to lead Shibusawa into seeing their own view of humanity and life. Similarly to the two, expressing a great boredom of life, due to the fact that he feels that nothing surpasses his expectations, he is filled with a yearning for something to fill a certain emptiness in him (quite similar to Dazai in the mafia). And therefore, he uses his ability and collecting abilities as a way to fill his boredom. In this sense, he differs from both Fyodor and Dazai in the way he passively allows himself to be alienated, while Dazai and Fyodor both take actions in order to solve this problem of theirs. This is to say, Shibusawa is almost like a blank slate in which the two can put their views on, and in a sense attempt to lure him to see their own view, and see which side he would end up on, just as Ango had implied.
Dazai, when he had talked to Shibusawa briefly commented that he once filled bored too, and suggested that he was in need of “salvation” by an “angel” which we later understood referred to Atsushi. And with Shibusawa finding himself no longer feeling bored during his battle with Atsushi. One couldn’t help but wonder if this is a indirect presentation of Dazai’s own view on humanity, especially when he had commented that he hoped Shibusawa managed to fill his boredom and lonelienss -- that though perhaps life is boring, there are some people like Atsushi who exceed their expectations, and make things, if not, a little more interesting. 
While on the other hand, Fyodor continued to hold onto the view that people in their sinfulness must be destroyed. Showing him his past, giving one of the things which he so desired, he encouraged Shibusawa to in a sense adopt his own views on life, to “eat, howl, make violence as [his] instinct desires”, using human’s own weakness to eradicate other humans (Now that I think of it Shibusawa and Sigma are quite similar in being used by Fyodor in this way). But of course, that is how I see it, again giving a passive view to the audience their own thoughts about humanity.
2.2 Cannibalism Arc
Unfortunately, in this arc alone, we do not see to much of their views being shown. With them being on opposite sides, and at a distanced place from each other the majority of the time, it makes it rather difficult to compare them. With exception to the scene in which Dazai said "humans are sinfully stupid, but what's wrong with that?"
When I had originally saw this scene, I had thought a lot about it. But in essence, Dazai’s view remains the same as what he had shown in that of Dead Apple. That though people can be sinful and foolish, they make mistakes and are not perfect, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t interesting, that they are not good as they are, and he is fond of them.
In a way, this actually reminds me of Dazai-sensei’s own works which he expresses his views on humans, with a certain fondness, despite his understanding of how artificial and horrible they could be as he expressed in No Longer Human. This can be examined in No Longer Human, The Setting Sun, his short story “Run, Melos!”, all of which I had examined in a different analysis. But also some of his other short stories such as “Thinking of Zenzo” in Self Portraits, and one of the works of his that I have recently been reading “Urashima-san” in Otogi-zōshi, in which the protagonist despite finding the people on land being too judgemental of one another, after being seperated, he couldn’t help but feel an affection for them, and find them even more beautiful than ever (but this is only a rough translation from my native language).
Anyways, this view of humans thus allows us to understand a bit more of why they act the way they do, why Dazai is able to befriend people even though the other person may not have his intelligence, because they intrigue him, and they are able to understand them a little, like Oda and perhaps Atsushi and even Chuuya. While Fyodor, only finds companionship or something akin to it in Dazai as seen in Chapter 64, due to their different views, perhaps he didn’t see the point in it.
Tumblr media
2.3 Decay of Angels Arc
The topic of humans being sinful and foolish is once again brought up in the current arc. However, in this arc, we see an additional statement to what Dazai had previously said about humans: “they’re not such boring beings as you think”. 
Tumblr media
Even in the moment of this panel, Fyodor maintains his view that humans are predictable. Commenting that it had been written into the page that the Hunting Dogs and the police wouldn’t believe that the ADA is innocent. In a way, Fyodor is asserting his view that humans are predicable and boring, expressing that just because that was what was written into the page, people will then follow suit. That’s why Dazai expressed that Fyodor “didn’t understand god one bit”, because he sees, perhaps, that humans, everyone of them including the two of them, are illogical, inconsistent, self-contradictory beings, unlike what Fyodor seems to believe, they are not entirely predictable, nor are they boring. 
And following this having Tachihara, as well as some of the policemen going against what was written in the page. These acts in itself, though perhaps passive, are literally going right against Fyodor’s views and beliefs. The beginning of a downfall of his views on humanity as what they do is slowly going against what he thought would happen.
In addition to showcasing more of the differences in their views, as well as Fyodor’s understanding of humans being defeated somewhat indirectly. This arc also prepares us for the coming chapters as we begin the prison break arc as it gives us a greater insight into how they strategize and their respective manipulation methods. Such can especially be seen during the sky casino arc and during Dazai and Fyodor’s discussion.
Tumblr media
I think @/blackandwhitemusician had explained here really well in this post of theirs, but I would also like to add a bit of my own thoughts, especially about Fyodor. As they had written in their analysis, Fyodor and Dazai seem to be discussing how each other’s plans operated. And it is true, and we also seem to get a better understanding about how they view people as well.
In Fyodor’s strategies and planning, he always created them meticulously, pulling the strings and manipulating everything to a tee. He is orchestrating from behind, and there is almost nowhere for the people in his plans to escape from his strings (which reminds me of this official art in the cannibalism arc). This is why his subordinates in a sense “don’t take the initiative” and are not “autonomous”. This way of strategizing can again, actually be seen as another extension of his own view on humanity, that people will always do and go as he predict them to. This may also be why he may take some important tasks into his own hands, and thrives in isolation, perhaps in a way he doesn’t trust other people to be capable enough? Maybe that can explain why Fyodor had also planned to eliminate Sigma during the Sky Casino Arc as well. And also why he seems to fail in situations in which he underestimates the potential of Dazai’s comrades.
While Dazai differs in this, I believe I have seen a few people talking about this before too, but Dazai’s strategizing mostly involves a sense of mutual trust. He has enough trust in their abilities to do what he predicts them to be able and capable of doing, which too can be seen in the sky casino arc. But at the same time they also have a sense of trust in him, that Dazai knows what he’s doing and his planning will turn out as he plans it to be. This too is indirectly related to their views on humans as well. in a way he believes in their abilities to act in a certain situation that perhaps that even he cannot be certain what will happen, this is best shown in Dead Apple after Chuuya had saved him -- “I had predicted this far, but the rest is up to them”. And it is interesting that in the panel above Dazai’s question prompted an answer from Fyodor which as @/blackandwhitemusician wrote is him testing how Fyodor got his subordinates, through luring them with offers when they are ‘weak’, which is quite different from Dazai’s method which involves more trust in people. 
3. Insights on Manga Chapter 97 and Final Thoughts
So how does all this connect to the recent chapter? 
I feel like what each of them had chosen to help them escape in this new prison break arc can also be tied back to their way of strategizing, and perhaps the reason why they chose their respective “weapons”, thus their respective views on humanity. But of course this is only my personal opinion.
As I had mentioned earlier, Fyodor thrived in isolation and independence, he takes things into his own hands most of the time, and it is not too much of a surprise that he chose the security card. All the other items in a way seem to in a sense will entail the involvement of other people. 
Yet, Dazai surprised everyone by choosing Sigma instead as his “weapon” to help him escape. Of course, we cannot take away the option that Dazai had at the beginning wanted to chose the security card as well, but it seemed to me that there was no hesitation when he had chosen Sigma, whereas in contrast we saw Fyodor take a moment to think about his options. So it comes to the question, what is Dazai trying to do? What is he thinking?
Though I cannot be certain what he is thinking, but I do feel that it might have something to do with this:
Tumblr media
“When you and your enemy share the same amount of intel, the side that does the unexpected wins.” This panel is from the guild arc, but when examining it in this exact situation, it seems fitting. Since in this current arc, both Fyodor and Dazai have the same amount of information on what their escape route entails from what Nikolai had said. So I would guess that in order for them to “succeed”, this death match would possibly be a game of trying to be as unpredictable as one could be. 
The act of choosing Sigma itself is already in a sense unexpected, we see both Nikolai and Fyodor (for once) shocked. But then it occurred to me, with how similar Dazai and Fyodor’s way of thinking, surely Fyodor must have realised that Sigma was a possible option to choose from, right? Then, with inference to the best explanation, maybe what had surprised Fyodor wasn’t that Fyodor didn’t think of choosing Sigma, but that Dazai had chosen Sigma even though he realized that it was a possible option. 
Linking back to how I have explained their separate views on humans, their options make sense. Fyodor, with his views that other people are merely predictable and boring, and in a sense tools to do something, even if he were (let us say that he didn’t think of doing so) to say knew that choosing Nikolai or Sigma was an option he could take, he wouldn’t have done it. He doesn’t see the point in it, not when he could do it himself and perhaps more efficiently, maybe he would see having another person with him as being bothersome.
But Dazai sees people differently. To begin, already knowing that he could trust Sigma, since he had helped Atsushi in the previous arc. Along with the fact that  he sees the potential in other people to succeed his, and even Fyodor’s expectations, he may be the perfect element for “unexpectedness” that Dazai needed. Besides, Dazai is much more practical than Fyodor in using other people and their abilities in his plans, though his way of planning does not seem as meticulous and detailed as that of Fyodor’s, when it comes down to it, they are much more prepared for when sudden changes happen. 
Tumblr media
Additionally, previously Dazai had described that he and Fyodor are schemers, they are not the ones who could “make the world turn”, they are observers in the world, looking at it, he recognizes that. But even this panel shows us, Sigma is not like Dazai and Fyodor, he is one of those people who could “make the world turn”. And I wonder in this arc, if Sigma would be a representation of the humanity of which Fyodor is so critical about, and that through maybe through how he observes Dazai’s plans unfold, he can see before him that perhaps his beliefs are not right. But of course, all of this is but my own opinions.
Therefore, with what I had observed above, I personally I see this death match between Dazai and Fyodor as not only a battle of intelligence but also one of their beliefs and views, and a chance to better understand the characters themselves, as well as more on how they differ from one another. In addition to such, I am hoping that we will be able to see an even greater divergence as their differences become more obvious. As I had mentioned again and again before, they have a very similar way of thinking and this is an opportunity like no other that we get to see how they will slowly, in this arc, diverge from one another, as they would have to do so in order to get ahead of the other. And then, we can see into both of their characters through this with an even greater depth, fingers crossed that we will get to see more of Fyodor’s character.
Personally, I am also hoping that Fyodor will begin to doubt his own beliefs as he begins to see that he is wrong about his view on humans. It would be quite an interesting for Fyodor. And I also want to share this theory about why Sigma may be the only one who can led Fyodor to question his own beliefs since I really enjoyed it by @/fyodcrs. But we can only wait and see.

Minecraft (pt. 1)
I put MCSM (mine self-insert AU) and regular minecraft in the same universe. I created a complex but well-explained (in my opinion) timeline for all of the events, but still working on writing it down.
Tumblr media
Don't try to read it - at first, it is in russian, at second it's just to show the amount of text I have at this moment.
It will be a very... very long post. I warned ya. Enjoy!
ORIGINAL ARC
Main plot of pre-MCSM world is that Minecraft world (The World) is kind of the living thing itself - it expands and develops on its own. One day The World created a box-house with a Command Block in the middle of it. Along with this, Rana, Steve and Will appeared in that box house. I only have an unfinished sketch of them 👇
Tumblr media
They started to explore the possibilities of Command Block - create in-game mechanics, mobs and items. They ended up creating Alex and Steve (yes, Steve from the original trio named male-one by himself).
To let freshly made humans explore The World by themselves, Original Trio moved to The Heven (flying islands above The World). In their adventures Alex and Steve accidentally unlocked their god-like abilities (the same as the Original Trio have - like creative mode in game) and realised that they are not the same as other humans and villagers.
Original Steve was afraid that they can become a threat and tried to kill them with agressive mobs. But Alex and Steve learned a lot in their adventures and monsters didn't scare them at all.
The World has two sources of energy/magic - Creation Energy ("good magic" - green experience orbs) and it's trace Destruction Energy ("bad magic" - purple particles). The first one helps to enchant items, create something new and it makes you stronger and wiser. The second one creates illagers, witches and monsters, but also it powers very helpful portals.
There were a Destruction Cult that wanted to push two energy sources to absorb each other and create Chaos Artifact that will help their leader to conquer The World. Original Steve abandoned his name and became Herobrine. He stole Command Block from Rana and Will, with it's help he took all the powers from Alex and Steve and killed them.
Alex and Steve were real heroes, they met a lot of people and helped all of them on their path. They didn't left Rana and Will alone and joined them for the battle to defeat Herobrine. They won and trapped Herobrine in unbreakable prision, also took his powers with Command Block's help (they left him in spectator mode).
Rana and Will realised that Command Block is a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands. They used it one last time to disable their powers and then hid it. Friends of Alex and Steve told them that they had a baby shortly before Herobrine took them. Rana and Will started raising them on their own. They didn't know that the baby kept their parents powers.
WITHER AND THE END ARC
Destruction Cult went into the shadows so Rana and Will won't punish them too. But they still were aiming for their mission.
The last thing Rana and Will created with the Command Block was dragon eggs. When they hatched, each world (The World, The Nether and The Heven) got it's powerful defenders. These creatures didn't need to mate to create a living egg, so it was a question of time when dragons flooded the worlds.
Destruction Cult started to hunt dragons, because they left a ton of magic when killed (it led to their extinction). Cult's leader absorbed it and became very powerful and dangerous man existing.
Cult's magicians, engineers and blacksmiths creater the Nether Star - concentration of destruction magic. With it's help and with dragons' dropped magic, Cult Leader started his conquests. He left nothing behind but dried ground, so people started to call him The Wither.
Tumblr media
Player's childhood fell on a time when everyone was afraid of the Cult and its leader. Because of the wither sickness, their eyes became weaker and they needed glasses (but they started to wear them much later).
The Wither killed the most powerful dragon - The White Prince at the Heven and started to terrorize new world. Local magicians tried to resurrect the dragon and succeed. But it did't went good.
Because of the preponderance of destruction energy, new dragon was black and actually bad. Yes, It kicked The Wither from the realm, but it also started to threat Hevenfolks. The Heven was the center of good Creation magic, but everything changed with the advent of the dragon.
Due a high level of contact with magic, people of The Heven began to corrupt (basically, they became endermen). So the world around them - it's not the Heven, it's the End now.
When Player became a teenager, they discovered their powers and rumors of the powerful child reached The Wither. He wanted to subjugate them and use their powers. But Player (with a lot of training in a short period of time) defeated The Wither in a battle.
Tumblr media
After the victory, The World slowly started to heal. Without a leader, the cult quickly fell apart. Everyone thought that Player died in a battle, but they actually just left for a lonely adventure to discover who they are.
After that battle, there were finally peace.
MCSM ARC
Here we start to speak about MCSM part of the plot!
Many years later, there were three orphans living alone at their small house. Once, they found a very strange block and accidentally activated it. "Greetings, Admin!" - heard all of them.
So, it was Fred, Xara and Romeo. They found hidden Command Block and gave themselves powers. At first they started to play with it - creating cities and new mobs like it's nothing. But later Romeo started to act like a jerk because of his powers and Fred tried to reason him. Romeo accidentally killed Fred and was very scared of what he did.
He thought that the only way to fix everything, is to create a new world, and forget the previous one, where everyone know what he did.
Tumblr media
People at the new world didn't have any background or actual memories. But somehow, they knew who they are and what to do. Admin's magic of copy and paste.
In this world, young Order of the Stone just started their adventures. Ivor, Magnus, Ellegaard and Gabriel met Soren. After he earned their trust, Soren suggested to the Order to find "mystical artifact" at the snowy mountains. That's how they found Command Block.
Soren knew about Command Block and where to find it, because he arrived in this time with it's help. Originally he was an Old Builders' protege. He found Command Block and accidentally teleported himself in place and time - to Fred Village under the bedrock. Soren wanted to back home, and started to study the Command Block, but the only function he mastered was time-traveling. In his travels he often loses his notebooks, that's why you can find Soren's books almost everywhere in game.
In another time travels Soren splitted up with the Command Block. He couldn't take it himself (mountain were too dangerous for a solo-adventurer), but he found a good help - Order of the Stone!
With Comman Block's help they "defeated" the Ender Dragon. But actually, it just rolled back dragon's state back to egg! And you know what happened next from the main MCSM plot.
Romeo didn't want to stay alone and tried to find friends, but all of them ended up "not worthy" so he started to look after good adventurers and heroes that can stand a bit longer. I headcanon that Jack, Sammy and Vos were the first ones who ended up in Admin's games.
Further I will talk about my self-insert character Lara, that replaces Jesse in game.
Lara, Olivia, Axel and Rueben didn't exist when Order of the Stone killed the dragon. They "were born" when Romeo searched for new heroes in the world. He literally loaded new areas while flying around and new people (and other creatures) started to pop out of nowhere. So the main cast too!
Tumblr media
I won't retell you the MCSM plot - it's basically the same but with small insignificant changes (and with my OC instead os Jesse), so let's skip that!
PLAYER'S NEW START ARC
This arc takes place between the end of MCSM season 2 and next gen arc.
Player (they are immortal) found the way from inder the bedrock (they can break it due their powers) and continued their adventure in the new world. Player were just wandering, sometimes helping villagers or other people but without enthusiasm. They are bored from their long live - they discovered and tried everything. But one day they helped desert village under attack and got injured very bad. Poisions did something with their mind and Player lost their memory. Villagers helped them to heal and Player stayed with them. Pastor from that village became Player's best friend and mentor. Once, he asked them for help - he needed another enchantment table but village was out of obsidian. He was shocked when Player picked an obsidian block just in a second, instead if long and hard mining. A very tricky plan came into his head.
Turned out that Pastor was sure that Herobrine is not just an old scary story for naughty children, but true. And he wanted to free him with Player's help.
Player realised that Pastor uses them too late. But turned out that Herobrine's prision was empty - someone wes here before them, or Herobrine escaped the other way. Pastor died and Player left the village to try find Herobrine and defeat him before he did something bad.
NEXT GENERATION (with a lot of other support arcs in it)
I ship my self-insert OC Lara with Lukas and the main character in the next gen is their son Ryan!
Ryan ran away from home to prove that he can be a hero like his parents. But actually, being a hero is not his thing at all...
Tumblr media
He tries to hide the fact that his mom and dad are famous heroes so it won't put unwanted expectations on him. In his adventure Ryan met Klim (he saved the boy from drowning) and they started to travel together.
Klim (an old friend-enemy of the New Order of the Stone) helped Ryan to learn basic adventurers skills. He had no clue that Ryan is Lara and Lukas' son.
Tumblr media
In their adventure they met other next-gen characters - Olivia's twins, son of Petra and Jesse (it's a different character, just a regular adventurer), son of Aiden and daughter of Isa and Gabriel.
There are actually a lot of different characters in this arc (main cast info you can find here and here) and their arcs take place almost at the same time until they unite at the end! This part is kinda unfinished, but I'll tell you the main plot.
WITCHES ARC
This arc tells us about witches. These days witches can't do much magic because they lost almost all of their knowledge about it. But they build a very plausible reason of it for others - witches just don't show their magic to unworthy peasants.
Main character of this arc is Septimus - the only male in his Coven. His mother Belta was expelled from the Coven for using "banned magic" but Septimus visits her secretly.
Septimus learned from Belta about Creation and Destruction energy and it's disbalance. Old witch believed that one day The World will want to fix everything and it will show signs.
Septimus didn't pay much attention to those fairytales until he started to notice stranginess in The World, and the signs started to show up.
It's not in the character of Septimus to be a hero or even take one side - he prefer to stay neutral. But Belta's last wish were to help The World to put everything together.
In his journey, Septimus met all of the main cast but separately. It was funny when the team were finally together and everyone ended up knowing Septimus.
Shandled also plays the role in this arc, but she only tries to know about her origins - she paid Septimus for information.
MISHA AND COOKIE ARC
When Lara defeated The Admin, she started to work on combining two worlds together - with the help of portals everyone could travel under bedrock and vise versa.
Misha was a teenage girl working for her family as lumberjack - so everyone in her village. Once she discovered that her ancestors killed the Ender Dragon and gosh, she was so inspired that she can be a hero too!
Misha left her village under the bedrock and went on adventure to earn a skill to be like her heroic ancestors. One day she met a weird friendly enderman and they actually became friends!
Once they met Septimus at the fair and he was stunned - enderman with clear mind (Cookie learned how to spell his name - it's the only word he can say) was one of the signs his mother told about. Their meeting wasn't really important. But later, Septimus sold an info about very intelligent enderman to an old red-haired man.
That was Soren and he found Misha and Cookie. He was very excited to finally met an enderman like this. At Soren's mansion at The End Misha found out End's history - turned out that her ancestors killed The White Prince (original dragon defender of the realm) not the bad Ender Dragon.
Also, Soren hatched the dragon egg that left from Old Order of the Stone glory days. Dragon's name was Endie and it was very friendly and smart.
Tumblr media
Misha realised that Ender Dragon needs to take it's place and became The End's defender, as it should be. But Soren wasn't happy about it, because she's still a baby.
HEROBRINE ARC
Herobrine was in s spectator mode so it basically means he's a ghost. He was in his prision for a very long time until he realised that he can go through it's walls.
He settled at the Forest Mansion with illagers. He was just watching them untill one treasure hunter showed up and killed their leader to became the leader herself. It was Shandler and Herobrine liked her attitude and strenght.
Herobrine tried to break his spectator mode - everyone at the Mansion started to think that ghost of their old dead leader haunts them. Shandler dispelled their rumors - she told them that Forest Mansion became a home for an old god and they need to help him.
Shandler was flattered by Herobrine words that they can rule the world together and that he will cover her in diamonds. It was a part of Herobrine's plan, he wanted to use treasure hunteress and left her behind when he'll get what he wants. But he ended up caring for Shandler a lot.
Shandler and her illagers started their searchings for Command Block. Rumors of that reached Klim and he wasn't happy about it. Even if he hated Shandler, he was worried about her in a parent way.
All characters meet at the Nether - place where Command Block was originally placed (all of that time travels stuff...): Shandler found it with Herobrine's help (they are connected and he can feel it), Klim and Ryan followed her, Misha with Cookie asked Soren to use Command Block for Endie and Septimus were following another sign - white horse with green eyes.
Klim almost reasoned Shandler to stop, but Player showed up and tried to kill her and destroy Command Block. In a mess fight Shandler had a chance to use the Block and bring Herobrine back to life. They left with the Command Block.
Player was in fierce because the bunch of kids and old mans let this happen and now the world in a huge danger. But the only thing Ryan could think of right now, is why Player looks like his mom... Yep, all this time Lara was a copy of Player (but with no powers, just apperance).
FINAL ARC
Player left and told everyone to live their last days, because Herobrine will probably end the world. Ryan was really stressed that everyone now know who he is, but Klim and Soren calmed him down.
Soren took everyone to his mansion to figure out their next actions. Well, he just wanted to hide there for the end of his days. But it wasn't a solution at all.
The Team made a plan and split up. Klim were gathering all friends they met in his and Ryan journey to help them. Septimus did the same thing, but with all the adventurers and abandoned witches he helped. Misha and Cookie knew that only Endie can defead Herobrine, that's why she needed Command Block's help - to grow her up. Soren didn't want to help, he just wanted to stay with Endie and die alone in peace. But Endie took Misha's side and they left Soren alone.
Ryan had to return back home. Lara and Lukas was very happy that their son is finally back and safe. But they didn't expect that he returned to ask them for help.
There was a huge final battle with all of the characters - new and old Order of the Stone, next gen kids and other characters. Even Soren showed up at the end, because he was tired to be a coward.
Player and Lara met at the battle field and ended up in a trap of Herobrine. They had to get along to fight well. And they did, but it was difficult.
Lara and Player activated the Command Block programm to grow up Endie and she defeated Herobrine. People was afraid at a second that Endie will switch attention to killing everyone else, but she stayed the same - she recognised Misha and Soren.
EVER AFTER ARC
Command Block was destroyed in a battle and Shandler disappeared. Endie now has green eyes - to show they she has good Creation energy in her. She's now a defender of The End!
Cookie is a bridge between humans and endermen. They mind started to clear and they became more human-like. He works with Soren to recreate the community of The End! Misha visits them in-between her adventures.
Septimus started his own Coven and they are trying to bring witches magic back.
Player stayed at Beacontown for a bit helping Lara with their powers, but very soon they left. They are a lonely type of person.
Klim has his deserved retirement at Beacontown. And Ryan - he finally understood that he doesn't need to be a hero, he's happy to live a peacefull life.
───────────────────────────────────────────
That's it! Thank you for reading :)
Let me know your opinion on my minecraft au! It's important for me

Tw:suicide
Tommy and Tubbo post mcc have got me thinking. So both were definitely implying script wise they won’t be streaming together for a while, but roleplay wise Tommy was definitely hinting he going to off himself before Christmas, while Tubbo seemed oblivious to his mental state and hopeful he would see him for Christmas (and Tubbo’s birthday?). However, while both were implying death, I think we might need to assume Tommy indicating he might kill himself is coming from a character not an actual hint at the plot.
Plot wise I think a Tommy Suicide is unlikely. What would the point of any of this be if Tommy just kills himself? It would a disservice to fans who do have suicidal tendencies to just end his story with a suicide. They only addendum to that might be if he committed but was quickly resurrected by another character.
So I think Tommy saying he won’t make it to Christmas, he won’t “make it that long” is coming from a suicidal character not from a hint at the plot stance. For example, irl I was convinced I wouldn’t make it to 18 but I proved that version of me wrong because now I’m in college and over analyzing block men. Point is he might think he won’t make it to Christmas but he actually might.
That said I think there is a strong chance either Tubbo or Tommy or going to die between now and Christmas. I could see a Tommy suicide and Tubbo resurrection but I actually am leaning more toward a Tubbo death possibly by Tommy or to save Tommy. For a few reasons, only one of which is the presidential curse.
First, Tubbo clarifying today “well you might die actually” definitely felt like a kid who had seen the script and knew well yeah death is definitely on the table thanks 👍. Second, Tubbo is very alone right now, new L’Manburg has mostly disbanded and I think Tubbo’s death might signify L’manburgs death as these new nations rise up in its place. Thirdly, Tubbo isn’t going through a depression arc, he is however grappling with having betrayed his best friend, his death would be impactful but less of a middle finger to people invested in Tommy’s story. It would however represent a chance at redemption or a motivation for Tommy to take action. It’s clear with time away from Dream, Tommy is waking up from his manipulation, Tubbo’s death and potential haunting of his best friend might spur him to action.
I also am still leaning toward Dream being who the prision is for, potential dreamon moment, so maybe Dream kills Tubbo.
This all said I think there is a 0% chance Tubbo or Tommy will leave the smp. If one of them dies, they will either be resurrected or appear as ghosts. I say this because they are both young, at the height of there Minecraft careers and incredibly popular.
Remember it’s all roleplay and we still love everyone here.

People not knowing what the dream smp is the funniest shit to me- like i saw someone complaining about a post that said C!dream and thinking we were making were making an au- being like "that's a real person".
I wonder what the posts must look like to the people who vaguely know of the content creators but not what dream smp really is are- they just see prision discourse or look at post about abuse in the exile arc and just assume that we're batshit.

My favourite TMNT 2012 episodes (part 1)
I have been thinking writing about my favourite episodes for quite while now.Keep in mind this is not supposed to be a list of ¨ top best episodes¨ from tmnt 2012. There are many episodes that i think that are amazing but they don´t enter in my favourite list episodes for different reasons.
Most of the episodes i included in this list are the ones i often find myself rewatching and are the first that pop up in my mind when thinking about the series. 
I'm going to write two parts about this because i don't want to make the post so long.
Let´s start!:
Slash and Destroy 
Tumblr media
When tmnt 2012 fans and non- fans talk about the best episodes of the series, most of the time they mention Slash and Destroy and it´s easy to see why:
The episode itself plays like a psychological horror movie, with Slash as a physical manifestation of Raphael´s darkest desires. He represents everything that Raph could become if he let the most toxic parts of his personality take control him.
Slash himself it´s very good antagonist, he isn´t just some random mutant that appears to destroy Raph´s brothers. He´s Raphael´s best friend and he knows many things that the rest of the Hamato family doesn´t. His uses this at his advantage to make Raph join his side and leave his brothers.
Raph in this episode is fantastic as well. We get to see a lot of his character, from his bad temper and how he thinks the team is ¨holding him back¨ to how far he willing to go to protect his family, even if that means fighting his friend.
Despite it´s tone Slash and Destroy has some of the funniest moments in the season: The subplot about Leo trying to get the mutantgen canister from other humans it´s hilarious. It doesn´t feel forced and doesn´t interrupt the drama, it´s nicely connected to the rest of the story.
I could write a lot about what makes this episode work so well, but i would like to keep that for other post.
New Girl In Town
Tumblr media
This episode serves as introduction for Karai´s character and it´s one of my favourite for many reasons:
1)  It´s excellent for Raphael´s and Leonardo´s character arcs. Leonardo tired of how his brother doesn´t respect him as leader, decides to leave the role to Raph since he thinks it would be better if he was the one in charge.
Later, Raph finds out that being the leader isn´t as easy as it seems, when he's forced to give an order that would put the life of his brothers at risk he completely freezes up. He learns he can´t handle the burden of making difficult decisions as he cares for his family so much he´s afraid of accidentatly hurting them.
As for Leonardo, he tries doing things his own way for once, he decides to take a break from the team and ¨have fun¨.  In this episode he acts more like a "rebel" than his typical "good boy", which is quite refreshing to see.
He also learns that he shouldn't expect getting praise for being the leader. Splinter explains to him that the important part of being the one giving the orders is choosing to carry the burden. That's why Leo is the leader because he knows he has to be responsible in making decisions.
2) Karai is very interesting character that completely changes the dynamic of the main protagonists. She usually likes playing Leo and tries pursuing to join the bad side in this episode.
Her exchanges between Leo are very entertaing as well. They acts as friendly rivals and we get to see that she's actually not that bad in the end since she helps the turtles fighting Snakeweed.
"New girl in the town" it's a wonderful introduction for her, as it shows her as someone who it's morally gray instead of just evil.
3) The fight at the end is awesome. I really like how Leo and Raph work together to defeat Snakeweed. Raph decides to trust Leo's orders and follow his commands.
I think it's good way of showing they both have learned their lessons and how their relationships is changing.
Metalhead rewired
Tumblr media
One thing i really like of tmnt 2012 it when two character fight, there isn't always one side who it's "right" and other who is "wrong". Sometimes they both make good points and "Metalhead rewired" is a good example of that.
This one is great for Donnie since he really wants to help the team with his inventions but.. as Leo tells him, they can be a bit dangerous and Donnie can lose control of them.
Here we get to see how Donnie's passion for science and technology can put his brothers at risk and how Leonardo also can be stubborn at times and struggles with being open to new ideas.
It's one of those rare instances in the series in which we see Leo and Donnie fight. They usually get on well since Donnie has no problem with following orders. He sometimes sarcastic with Leo but he rarely tries to an argument the same way that Raph does.
The thing it's that Donnie's and Leo's arguments are usually more about strategy than personal problems. While Raph's and Leo's fight are related to their slibing rivaliry and how their personalities clash with each other.
This episode deals with loss as well: Metalhead sacrifices himself to help the turtles escaping from the Kraang prision. While it's true that he can be rebuild it, i think it's still a pretty sad moment that it shows that Metalhead was a robot with good intentions in the end.
Vengeance is Mine
Tumblr media
This another very memorable episode that tons of fans remember. The plot and the dialogue it's very well written and much like "Slash and Destroy" has tons of metaphors that worth of analyzing.
This episode it's mainly about Karai and her relationship with Shredder. It how revenge often being doing more harm than good and end up hurting everyone involved.
It starts with great action scene about the turtles helping Karai escape from Shredder's prision. Overall it's very intense scene due to being surronded by very dangerous enemies and they in Shredder's lair.
The scene in which Karai reunites with Splinter is really heartwarning. She doesn't say any word, she just.. hugs him, happy that she finally able to be with her real father. It's a very memorable scene.
And i really love how she later hangs out with the turtles during their training. It's such a cute scene.
The problem is that Karai really wants to make Shredder pay for what he had done to her family. Splinter tells her it's not really worth of her time, that all that matters is that they are now finally able to be together.
Karai sneaks out anyways and she gets captured by Shredder.
This forces the turtles and Splinter to go rescue her. While they are fighting, Oroku Saki accidentantly cuts the chain that holds Karai, making her fall into the mutagen and transforming her into giant snake.
I think i really like how the episode ends in a tragedy, showing how blinded Saki has become for getting his revenge that he even hurt someone he considered her daughter in the process. The scene is acts as a parallel to death, who died exactly in the same way.
Buried Secrets
Tumblr media
I really enjoyed April the first time watching the series. It's was very interesting to me to see this girl that used to have a normal life have it completely changed because of the Kraang and "Buried Secrets" was not the exeption.
I really like the amount of psychological horror this episode has: April just wants to be with her lost mother who really turns out a defective monsters that shares her mother's memories and devours each one of the turtles.
On one hand April is finally able to learn more about her backstory and why she has Kraang powers. It was something that wasn't completely necessary for the series to explore but i really like the writers took the time to explain how O' Neil family was being experimented on.
On the other hand it's a really sad since her "mother" wasn't real in first place. It's has to be desvasting to find out your mother/father is really just a monster who is hurting your friends.
And like i said, this is one of the scariest enemies in tmnt 2012. It's very creepy how she just goes hunting each turtles one by one and no one know what's happening.
Mikey was great here too. He was the one that first suspected that April's mother wasn't what she appeared to be. It shows that while he sometimes he's a bit naive, he knows when something is seems off and take things more seriously.
------
Okay, i leave the list here for know. I would probably be posting the other half during the weekend.
I hope you enjoyed my post! Feel free to talk about your favourite episodes in the comments (or by reblog). I would like to see which ones you like.

Why Francis is That Way: A series of headcanoned events that led to the ancient man we have now long post warning
Baby’s First Abandonment: When Fran was VERY little, physically 6 or so (idk 50 years old?? I don’t know nation ages) his mother Gual was his main caretaker. They lived in a small village with nomadic people by a river, very nice! Very aesthetic. Gual was close friends with many villagers so naturally Francis became close with them too, leading to them becoming his second family of sorts. One night Gual came back after bei Nd gone for a few days, Fran didn’t think much of it, and insisted he stay inside for the night with her. She made a special dinner and cuddled him all night and sang him to sleep and in the morning, she was gone. Francis, again, didn’t mind cause his mom left frequently for hunts so he went about his week. After a month he became worried and after six, he started flipping out. Tantrums and screaming and the villagers all had a felling his mom was dead so the woman with the most kids took him in. This was Francis’ first abandonment and this is what began his somewhat clingy nature. (He now knows that when his mother left, she went to fight Rome...and lost)
The First Heartbreak of Many: A long time later, I don’t know how many years, Francis met Arthur. Fran traveled with a new nomadic tribe now and went across the channel with them for the first time and found that lil stinker. Arthur and his brothers lived close to the water too so it was easy to find them! As years and years went on, Arthur and the other kirklands were Francis’s only friends! When the Auld Alliance was formed, he and Alastair were ‘married’ for awhile, which Francis very much enjoyed. He never had a lover before! He was still young for a nation, so was Ali so this was a first for them both. In his naivety, Fran believed that he and Ali would be together forever! But within a decade or so, Ali became more distant. Eventually he sat Francis down and told him “I love ya, I really do, but...Not as a wife. You’re a boy...And...I don’t like boys in a ‘wife’ way” of course Ali was very nice about it!! He was nothing but nice to Francis but that still broke his lil heart and the next day he insisted on going to live back home with his people to sulk. Sulk was probably the wrong word but what he did was lay in his hut for days on end, not leaving and crying a lot. He really thought he’d have someone to love forever and for the first time, he was broken up with
Too Young: As he grew up into a cocky teenager, he made many more nation friends. He called Antonio ‘cousin’ in an endearing way and spent a lot of time with him! He fought with Arthur a lot because now that little kid was growing physically too and they could fight their frustrations out like Real Men (they were not). By now, Francis had been with many women and a handful of men so he had Experience in relationships now. He’d talked to Antonio about a certain someone...Someone who...Has been trading around Italy...Sadik. It took awhile after first hearing about him to see him and oh lord, Francis fell for him on the spot! He was all he talked about with Toni and Artie for awhile!! His friends weren’t very supportive “Listen, idiot, he’s far older than you are it just wouldn’t work out!” “Franny, he’s so cruel, I’ve seen some of the things he’s done” but we know our boy is not one to listen to other. So of course, he perused Sadik and got exactly what he wanted. Both parties did, actually. Francis didn’t care about Sadik’s religion and Sadik felt the same way, they were attracted to eachother. Sadik liked Fran for his feminine features and his strength and Francis was extremely attracted to Sadik in almost all aspects of who he was. This ‘relationship’, if you could even call it that, was based on lust and not love so it didn’t last more than three years. It ended in an explosive fight with Francis saying Sadik was too self centered and Sadik calling him too young and stupid. Not exactly the way you should end a relationship. Both were upset at the split and went their separate ways. What did Francis learn from this experience? He learned not to rely on looks and that older men were a pain in the ass....But that didn’t stop him from persuing him again in the 1900s and I oop-
Humans Cant Provide What Nations Need: We all know the story of Joan of Arc so I won’t waste time describing that. Francis and Joan were close and Francis felt a very intense love for her. So intense that he longed for her when she was away and felt her pain himself when she was hurt. Was this a complication of being a nation? Possibly. But he thought it was his heart belonging to her. After centuries of living THIS girl was it! This was his soulmate! This had to be her, the woman he would love forever! And then the English came. When she died Francis felt dead on the inside and sank into a deep deeeeeep depression. Arthur later came to see him and told him a few things “Listen...It wasn’t personal. I didn’t want to hurt you, you were never the target. But you can’t depend on humans the way you depended on her...They dont last long...And they don’t come back...” Francis learned to be more closed off towards humans. Developing connections with them in this way wasn’t just unhealthy...It was stupid too
The Child: Skipping history again here! So Francis raised Matthew and Arthur raised Alfred for the most part UNTIL the English government decided they wanted Arthur to have custody over Matthew. After a lot of back and forth, the French agreed to give Matthew over without Francis’s consent. Naturally, Francis was DEVASTATED!!! He was such a good father. Every night he sang Matthew to sleep, he made him his favorite cookies, he let him pick out clothes, he cut his hair, he kissed his cheeks and hugged him and loved him so much! And now that horrid englishman was taking his son away! He blamed Arthur even though it wasn’t his decision. Francis chose to deliver Matthew himself so they could spend some time together. Francis dropped him off and practically dragged Arthur away from the house to yell at him without the kids heading. He yelled and punched him in the shoulder and yelled some more, let all of his hurt out. And when he was done having his adult tantrum he felt...worse. They went inside and spent time together as a family and later apologized to his dearest friend with a kiss on the cheek and breakfast in bed the next morning. He learned to be more mature and handle his feelings in another way than yelling and to be the adult his kids need
The Light Switch: Between the world wars, Fran and Artie finally got together. During the second ww, Fran was taken by the Germans and kept as a prisioner. When he was finally retrieved and brought home two years later he was a big ol mess. Arthur stayed with him at his house. The lights all needed to stay on, no loud noises, the doors were locked and checked over and over and over. Francis would insist he was fine until he was blue in the face but at the end of the day, he really needed Arthur and was so thankful for him being there. At this time he really needed someone there and Art had a lot of shared trauma so they got even closer through that. Fran didn’t learn much from this but what he did was become more open with his closest, dearest friend and become his lover. They became eachother’s support through this time and grew a lot from that together :) now the lights can be off and they can sleep soundly if a door went unlocked somewhere but they both can’t stand those thunderstorms that shake the house. Those kinds of storms bring back horrible memories for them and that’s an excuse to just hold eachother closer
Conclusion: Fran has issues with seperation and rejection cause of all of this and even though hes hella old he still is naive despite his smarts and even though he knows it’s bad, he listens to his heart more than his head
Thank you for reading this far!!!!!

a detectives quest (a WKTC story)
artwork used by the very lovely @alwaysd2 i am not the best at grammer or puncation but i hope you enjoy the story none the less! 
Tumblr media
I was on a journey thru remnant on the hunt for a man I once loved a man I once called My friend... Mark J. Barnum or as he changed his name to Mark Edward Fischbach the just thought of his name made me feel sick to my stomach I was soon in the small little city of argus the major trading center between the continents of Anima and Solitas It is one of the largest non-capital cities in all of Remnant.
I soon walked up to a stone statue the one made for a young girl well known by alot of people Pyrrha Nikos poor girl killed at beacon from what i’d been told by Cinder Fall I was gonna hunt down that girl and Mark and bring them both to justice or my name wasn’t Abe Lincon I had already had to lie to several familes about what really happened to their familes I just couldn’t deny a case but they would get their just deserts soon enough Mark would be brought to prision for all the faunaus Mark had gotten to It just wasn’t right Marks brother Willliam was crazy but he at least respected faunus and didn’t kill people for fun.
I stared at the statue for what seemed like days when In reality It was only for a few minutes I then left some roses down and lit up a cigar for myself I soon put It against my lips.
“I’ve never been one much for smoking but... With days like these? Everyone needs to relax even If the way to relax Isn’t the best... Hmm still better then drinking I suppose I wonder where I could find infromation on Marks wareabouts In a city like this poor girl didn’t deserve this and I’ll make sure that Cinder girl goes to jail a hell of a long time for what she did to her... The law is gonna throw every book they have at her they will throw her In a cell and after that they’re gonna throw away the key and after that they’re gonna throw that............. CELL into uh... Lake? I don’t really know hmm then pyrrha could rest perfectly in peace once she knows her team is safe from Cinder and her allies... I don’t care if that Penny girl was a machine she didn’t deserve to die no one deserves to die no one excpet for me and the monster I let happen I should have done something sooner when I had the chance but I was too love struck what a fool I was right?”
I soon tossed away my smoke into a trash can near by and walked off soon finding the house of Saphron Cotta-Arc and her wife Terra Cotta-Arc along with their kid Adrian I decided to vist them because I heard from the lady at the atlas station that thoes kids RWBY and team JNR along with Crow Branwen were here recently and they just left only a few days ago.
For at least an hour I talked to them about what they knew and where thoes kids were going he got all the infromation I needed and headed out I respected the two alot I had been homosexual myself for the longest time but I had never put myself out there I was glad he didn’t in some ways If I did I would either get rejected by mark or worse rejected then killed by him If I some how even ended up with mark would I even want that? Maybe back then but now? No to me that wouldn’t seem or be right my crush for mark was done and over with now I only felt hatred for the man I once called my best friend honestly If I had to choose a best friend now it be a tough choice.
After all my choices were Celine she did seem nice plus from the last i heard of her she did find out she was bisexual now being in a relationship with Neo Politan I didn’t trust the little mute bitch but knows she dosen’t work for Mark or this Salem woman Mark talked about to him so I’d lay off for now She dose try to be a good person for Celine at the very least my other choice for a replacement best friend? William J. Barnum aka the Colonal of atlas honestly I liked the man he was unhinged sure and honestly a little crazy but the man did know how to party plus despite all this he was one of the best dam people I have ever met in my life he protected the faunus even giving support when he could but now wasn’t the best time to get chummy with him he recently lost the love of his life and found out his brother was an evil bastard?
I’d think of a new best friend later I chuckled quietly to myself but then I sighed thinking about William a bit more why was he still so sane? sure he was a bit crazy but he just found out his brother was evil he used some girl who was killed against her own best friend for christ sakes! and his partner Is dead as well? god I knew how that felt every single partner i had died he did keep their pictures in my wallet along with my detective badge but some how William stayed sane a smile on his face but not from madness but to make sure others don’t worry about him poor guy I thought to myself.
I had a few favors from william so I went back to that base and showed my detective badge soon enough all the pictures came out of my wallet.
“Thoes were my old parnters” I said to the guard I then groaned “don’t ask me about them” the guard seemed confused and said “I won’t” but then I got angry and said.
“FINE I’LL TELL YOU! each of them died on cases each more tragic then the last for some reason despite how good of a detective I am my partner always ends up dying god the worst one by far was probably my friend Stra dokey weird name I always thought anyway once he died iInever touched any sort of jelly again it was too much for me to handle.” 
The guard backed up a bit and held up his hands “Ok dude well uh... yeah i’ll call up our colonal and let him know your using one of your favors take the small ship on the left all yours.” Despite being a big guy who had a hat cover his eyes he was intimated by me I soon thanked him and took the ship. 
I decided to go to the one place I thought mark might be his own mansion It was the best lead I had After about a day I arived just outside the forever fall forest area where mark had his mansion I might die today but if it meant stopping mark then fuck it I didn’t care i needed todo this I soon kicked down the door and held up my gun at a girl whos name was Emerald Sustrai who I just happened to have met before back at Beacon and haven’t seen her since. 
Tumblr media
“GET DOWN ON THE GROUND RIGHT NOW THIS IS DETECTIVE ABE LINCION!!!” I had a look of anger In my eyes 
Tumblr media

"So many redemption arcs dont work as effectively as zukos"
True
"...bc so many of the ppl they try to redeem are guilty of far worse crimes than trying to kidnap someone haha just silly antics thats all zuko was guilty of UwU"
1) that's not how redemption arcs work you fucking baffoon
2) zuko was trying to capture a 12 year old deliver him to someone who would probably keep him as an immobilized and isolated prisioner for the rest of his life, and he definitely tried to kill that 12 year olds friends and also burned down an entire village among other things eifjskw what fucking show did you watch????
3) zukos arc worked bc he was much more of a sympthetic and ineffectual villain than azula yeah, but it also worked bc he was a secondary protagonist so we got to spend time with him and sympathize with him, it worked bc it was well-written and before stupidass arbitrary fandom moralizing like this. If atla was out to day fans would almost certainly be more harsh on him than they were when the series was out (and in fact, I have seen posts where that has already happened fkdjdjsk)
