These writers really don't give a shit about Storm after all, huh
#x men 97#x men storm#I knew all the way back when it was revealed that pt 1 of Lifedeath was getting reduced for the sake of a Mojo ep#that Storm was getting done dirty#but this is just crazy#they showed us a fraction of how powerful she was in Lifedeath pt 2#only to have her get knocked out the sky#then show her at Bastion's mercy as if she can't just zap him right there cuz she tied up#jean and mags both get moments to show off their power#Storm gets to struggle to lift up a space rock with Jean#and now Storm doesn't even show up again in a future/past timeline#what in the fuck#and don't talk to me bout no Logan and Morph!#those two have been getting all the little moments this season and constant screentime#Storm got a halfassed attempt at a Lifedeath adaption#and then back to the same old same old with her playing the part of everyone's Mammy#she gets to be team leader once and only gives out an order once!!!#can't even have her be the one to pull a Steven Universe on Bastion despite setting it up last episode!!!!!!!#storm deserved better

“Orym has feelings for Dorian” yes we knew that already look at any time he uses the sending stone “Orym is putting Dorian on a pedestal and mythologizing him” THANK YOU
They both deserved to be loved fully for who they are and not who others imagine them to be (and I’m so here for that storyline playing out)
#that shit HAD to be said#once Orym likes Dorian for who he is and not who he imagines to be I’ll be so here for do/rym BUT UNTIL THEN???#critical role#orym of the air ashari#Dorian storm#(they both deserve better than someone loving the idea of them and not their entirety)#I love Orym he’s my lil guy my buddy my man but he’s such a dreamer that sometimes it can be a detriment to his real relationships#if that makes sense? idk I may have worded that wrong

So, your Clear Sky post is absolutely horrifying, but it was very needed, so thank you. What are your general thoughts on tackling his abuse for the AU? Like you've said, pretending he's a good guy is not the way to go, but are you planning on toning down *some* of the situations, just to give some of the cats a break? Clear Sky is a very realistic depiction of abusers, but that seems to come across even without victim number 25, yknow? I'm very curious about how you'd like to go about this.
My most recent big change was bringing Slash back into the fold, because I realized that it was actually a disservice to not address where DOTC's themes dip into Colonialism. It's a hard topic, and I'm still trying to work out the details, but I realized it was important.
With how BB!DOTC is such a MASSIVE overhaul, to properly address abuse and the ways it impacts you, ableism and its violence, and xenophobia broadly, a huge reworking of Slash belonged here too. He's one of the greatest examples of how badly WC demonizes non-Clanborn cats. I shouldn't dance around it.
That's what I need to do with Skystar.
MANY of his victims have happier endings than canon, though. Bumble is one of the most famous, bumped up into a major character and directly responsible for the formation of ThunderClan. Bright Storm is taking most of Gray Wing's roles. Birch and Alder are getting examined, with either a father who wants his kids back or Milkweed as the mate of Misty.
A lot of people will die because of him, even more will be hurt, but I see BB!DOTC as a story about victims and survivors.
Others might grab POVs here and there, but as a response to canon which I feel is Clear Sky's story told in many parts, I center this rewrite around Thunder Storm. The path of kindness he marches down, with love and with anger, and the people he helps.
So BB!Star Flower...
Previously I was playing her as ENTIRELY just manipulating Clear Sky. She was loyal to One Eye and trying to get at Skystar to bleed him dry for 8 lives to sacrifice; but connected to Thunderstar over recognizing him as a victim who deserves her idea of justice. So, she offers Thunderstar the final kill, so her father will be grateful to him and he'll get power AND the death of his abuser.
(When Thunderstar looks upon Skystar, pathetic and neutralized down to one life, he thinks about the collateral damage that will descend upon the forest if he accepts the deal. He decides that he has found the line between Justice and Justification. Of course he wants the power to make his enemies cower, protect his people, and eliminate Clear Sky so he never threatens them again; that's not the problem.
He can still do these things. He wouldn't NEED the power of a war god to do so.
But if One Eye returns, he will be endlessly hungry, ruthlessly dedicated to revenge, and set out to devour the whole forest. Everything would get worse, and even more people he loves would die. It's where his desire to destroy a monster would lead to him BECOMING one.)
Even on its face, it was previously missing an element. There's a step between "Starf decides to bring One Eye back" and "Starf offers Thunderstar the final kill" that was bare. This is the piece that was missing-- That she, herself, is trying to reach out to the only person who's ever really understood her.
But more importantly... I do feel this topic belongs here, in BB!DOTC. Abuse is a MAJOR theme. SKYSTAR is a monster already. He's harmed two wives in BB (Bright Storm and Falling Cry) and played toxic games with all three kits (Thunder Storm, Pale Sky, Tiger Sky).
And I'd avoid Star Flower being abused... why? Because it's uncomfortable to confront the pattern that Clear Sky displays? That in-canon, he tries to cut all his victims into the same ideal shape, from Storm to Thunder to Star Flower? ...it should be uncomfortable. Everything that I described in Clear Sky Is A Monster is rooted in the same desire for control, power, and punishment most abusive people share, he just happens to be a severe example.
Yes. That includes how he treats his child and romantic partners. The parallels that are drawn between Starf and Thunder are there because he wants power in the form of obedience. Starf replaces the son as a narrative award for his "growth" of not killing random people anymore for a while.
A cookie cutter is an effective tool because IT ONLY MAKES ONE SHAPE.
You know what's more uncomfortable? Reading canon!DOTC and seeing someone who hurt you reflected almost perfectly in the character the writers think did nothing wrong. Because of "good intentions" that were not there.
I will say though, just to be clear; I don't see a purpose in being more than PG-13 about serious topics for this project. I promise none of my intentions have changed. Nothing will be more graphic or gorey than canon WC-- just more intentional.
I'm keeping the sacrifice because it's dope. No one is taking this from me. Girl Moment: Killed her awful husband 8 times to count as 8 sacrifices and offered the last life to her buddy as a show of good will. How else do you make friends outside of high school
But I know now that Star Flower NEEDS to keep the canon fact she has very little agency, UNTIL that moment she snaps.
She's sacrificing one abuser to try and bring back a bigger, badder one, because in spite of everything, her father One Eye always made her feel safe. Even though he promised her off to Skystar, and expected her to be willing to die for him. She's followed every command, every order, past the death of his mortal vessel.
The first, and only, selfish choice she's ever made was in reaching out to Thunderstar to offer him the power of her father.
Thunderstar's Justice is a story about a Thunder Storm at the pinnacle of his arc, how the survivors of his Clan are settling into the new normal after the carnage of The First Battle, how Skystar's arrogance brings a violent god to the Forest... and the connection Thunderstar makes with the daughter of a monster.
#Kronk meme: ''Oh Yeah. It's all coming together''#I'll be making the fragments in another post#Just because this one's getting really long#It works well as an explanation of my intentions#I think I had been making a mistake previously to conceive of BB!Starf as a femme fatale who seduced Sky#Again: I'm not perfect! As I analyze and re-read with a more critical eye. My art changes.#Tho I will admit I do like the idea of a Starf who is totally cognizant of how she can manipulate a villain#Into doing what she wants. I do love myself a powerful and scheming woman#It's that it didn't fit my story or my themes OR even the purpose of BB as a fixit that addresses canon#Better bones au#BB!DOTC#BB!Star Flower#BB!Skystar#BB!Thunder Storm#Also imo this philosophy will let me make BB!One Eye what I think he deserves and works best as#THE WORSE OF TWO EVILS#The Tyrant of Tyrants#And man.... the idea that Skystar becomes the Clan patron of war...#The God of Summer laughs at him.#''Outdone and reeling your wounded pride speaks the words your tender mouth can never say''#''That you were outclassed and now you obsess over the bigger monster you aren't good enough to become''#''You fell into the step of a lion and think you can replicate what my paw does without effort.''#Cw abuse#Tw abuse#Abuse#Child abuse

Rowan didn’t hide the devastation in his eyes as he faced Lorcan—
devastation that Elide felt echo in her own heart. Lorcan had endured that … and still remained loyal to Maeve. Elide brushed her fingers against his. The motion didn’t go unnoticed by the others, but they wisely kept quiet about it. Especially as Lorcan dragged his thumb down the back of her hand in answer.
Hi, just came here to say that this scene is sluttier than all the Nessian sex scenes in ACOSF.

If Rachel only ever used Chloe & never loved her then...
Why prepare Chloe a bag full of clothes within the first few days they've met and just kept giving ever since? (Loving means giving)
Why did the exact same 😁 post-it note appear in Rachel's drawer, then subsequently, on Chloe's table?
(unrelated but notice how Rachel is organised on the surface, but not really in her drawer. Deck9 put great details in)
Why did she send her this post card full of love when she's not in Arcadia?? (Surely someone who's manipulative at her age wouldn't go that far. Sigh why do I even have to clarify)
Why staunchly tell James "Chloe stays" and hold her hand when it's the most personal thing there is for her (contrast it with her reservations towards Chloe on day 1) & that James have reservations about Chloe??
And these ???
Why read Chloe's book reccomendation? And hug her when she's dyed her hair blue?
Look at her eyes lighting up and smiling when she sees Chloe's new hair. Also the hug. Then tell me she doesn't love that girl.
Oh and lying for Chloe after skipping class, telling her she's gonna get in "serious trouble" when Chloe tries to argue, & even after she was told she's gonna be removed from her duty as Well's assistant AND The Tempest play (which she was excited & rehearsed & prepared for a long time), still said "it's okay Chloe, you don't have to do this, really." ???
also Rachel shoving Damon away telling him not to touch Chloe even though she was facing a whole grown-ass drug dealer? And standing slightly in front of Chloe even though she's afraid of the knife pulled out as well?
Even Frank & Max-imagined Jeffersh*t couldn't compare to Chloe.
Rachel "cared about a lot of people.. especially Chloe".
"I was jealous."
"Now I get why she dug her."
"they're f***ing together in heaven right now. Is that what you wanna hear?" (Max's subconscious knows)
I'm pretty sure she'd tell Bowers and Jeffers*n to screw off if Chloe went missing and they stood in the way of finding her.
AmberPrice never was a toxic relationship. They were true teenage lovers discontinued by life.

why were they doing duels in court in chapter 4. is it a actual normalized thing for their world or saint pavlov just makes the defendant and the prosecution throw hands to see who comes out the victor. do they do it for every corruption case. can we watch madam z wrestle then dump a mug full of hot coffee on constantine's face godot ace attorney style for the whole breakout incident and for multiple instances of child murders
#reverse 1999#certified storm moments#look. i will always find a way to loop it back to chapter 3. they were just kids. they deserved some justice no?#i think nouvelles et testes pour rien changed my brain chemistry for better or worse. that damn ending broke me and i was#not the same person i was upon finishing it#empty wardrobe was tragic and a look into the inevitability of the storm and how it affected the ones left behind but when it comes#to chapter three its horrific because they were purposefully lead to their fates. yeah they were a bunch of children too curious for their#own good but surely even in an authoritatian school you'd try to lead them away instead of. aye let's fucking let them see the storm

Me when I realize that Alina ended up with a man that slut-shamed her, didn't accept her as she is (with her powers and status), fucked around girls knowing that Alina knew, didn't stop his friends from bullying her and made her feel guilty for being happy and healthy:
#the longer I think about it. the more I want to lobotomize myself#and don't tell shit to me about him not having a problem with her powers or that he suffered from PTSD#1) that is no excuse to make somebody else feel like shit#2) the Darkling had been fighting for four centuries too. Do you not think that he didn't see traumatic things as well?#Leigh who the fuck did you choose to give our girl to#Alina deserved better#anti malina#anti mal oretsev#anti mal#alina starkov#darklina#pro darklina#alarkling#pro alarkling#grishaverse#grishaverse trilogy#shadow and bone#siege and storm

#that first gif... he is deadly#james spader#alan shore#boston legal#*#favorite#there's a full-length shot in this scene where you can see his belly. stretching the fabric of his shirt just above his waistband. ougghhh#trying to focus on how sexy this is but this episode was so. soft and suffering alan#once again everyone expects the worse from him. they ASK it of him for their own benefit#and he doesn't disappoint. he is the worst and he loses his temper and finds himself on the ledge again#when he storms out of denny's office so mad he can't even look at him. went home alone and furious and upset#drank himself to sleep for the first time in months if not years bc after a good run it feels like things are falling apart again#the way they always do. because that's what alan shore deserves#he thought it might be different this time. he thought well my parents didn't care about me. my wife died. I got fired. everyone leaves#maybe this time will be different. but now he's in the hotel room where he lives. without his best friend. about to be disbarred. stupid.#this was always going to happen because he doesn't deserve any better. they were all right about him. they were right to run away#everything is fixed the next day he and denny go on a field trip 🤠 but GD!!!!!#alaaaaannnnnnn 😭

Idk who needs to hear this but it’s ok to agree with The Darkling’s ideas but not his methods.
The Darkling had every right to hate non Grisha and his plan made sense. Make it so Grisha are no longer mistreated and use the fold (which I’m pretty sure is an accident in the show and the books, but I could be wrong) as a weapon so Grisha can never be attacked again. It makes sense. He wants to be a savior for Grisha. His methods though? Fucking atrocious. Saying he did absolutely nothing wrong is wild asf to me. He manipulates and becomes so codependent when it comes to teenage girls. He manipulated Zoya, he allows Genya to be assaulted by the king so she can be a spy for him then later scars her, he manipulates Alina, tries to control her powers, threatens to skin her alive if Mal can’t find the second amplifier, he kills several people and I’m pretty sure threatened to murder an entire orphanage plus the other crazy shit he did in the books. He had a great idea that I can stand behind. He’s not wrong for fighting back. He’s wrong for the other wild shit he did and refuses to apologize for. And even if he did apologize, it probably wouldn’t be enough.
You can like The Darkling as a villain. You can find him hot. I love Ben Barnes and I love villains. I have been a Loki lover since Thor. I loved Bucky as The Winter Soldier. The Alpha Pack from Teen Wolf will always own my heart. But this mf Alexander is like Thanos; spitting real shit but has a shit plan. Thanos was spitting when he said the world doesn’t have enough resources but committing genocide instead of just doubling the resources when he had the power to do so is crazy.
Back to The Darkling, you can like him but don’t act like he did absolutely nothing wrong cause I’m never letting go of the bullshit he put Genya through.
#the darkling#alexander morozova#shadow and bone#seige and storm#ruin and rising#alina starkov#zoya nazyalensky#genya safin#those three deserve so much better#grishaverse#the grisha trilogy#the bad news is you went the wrong way#good long term goal but terrible way to go about it#do not try to tussle with me either#he also blinded his mother#Slices Speaks

I hate how ppl sometimes reduce characters to their romance. For example, Alina in Shadow and Bone- all I see is posts about her “relationship” with that ugly manipulative evil man called the darkling. I’ve only read the first book and half the second but her story is so much more than which man she might end up choosing. She’s literally a kid, abducted from her life and thrusted into smth she doesn’t understand and had the weight of everyone’s expectations on her shoulders. A 400 years old evil and vile man literally grooming a 17 years old is considered a cute romance to y’all? He literally borderline SA’ed her, and COLLARED her. He wanted her as his willing slave 💀💀
I can never understand how ppl preach they want more badass powerful female characters, women in power, and books that have female characters with depth, then minimise their stories to insignificant mere romance plots and with abusive vile men at that…

I finally finished the end of the last season of Teen Wolf this week, and I almost wish I didn’t because I think the Season 6A plot would’ve been a better ending
#teen wolf#stiles stilinski#scott mccall#like stiles and Scott’s friendship is so CORE to the show#and they barely even talk in the final episode#stiles is back which is so exciting but he doesn’t serve a PURPOSE in thr ep#he like gets jealous of Jackson and cries pathetically in a flashback#stiles deserved better#he deserved waaaay better for a final arc conclusion#also like the ONLY relationship that was active and didn’t get air time was stiles and Lydia#alsk the ONLY one that is still existing that was present in episode one#it’s just rude and an INJUSTICE to their character relationships in all regards#also like I did not get the idea of fear affecting the town and making people turn on the pack#and tamora Monroe’s backstory made NO SENSE#ugh the whole thing was AGGRAVATING and episode 10 would have been a MUCH better ending#lydia martin#stydia#Tamora Monroe#teen wolf salt#teen wolf season 6#teen wolf series finale#riders on the storm#the wolves of war#also ALSO! bringing Gerard back again was annoying#and you know who I wanted to see again#ISSAC!#I cared WAY more about Issac getting an ending than Jackson and Ethan wtf#sorry I’m just feeling my feelings I do like the show in general but I had put off watching season 6B for so long and it was disappointing#dylan o'brien
