not enough people are acknowledging the parallels between sam riordan and erik lehnsherr for me like gen v fandom don’t piss me off.
marie and co versus cate and sam is so similar to the x-men versus the brotherhood.
too many people are simply reducing cate and sam characters to being very two dimensional villains but both of those characters have experienced persecution simply due to the fact they are supes in a way the other 4 just can’t comprehend.
what happened with marie and her parents was of course very traumatising but in a completely different way. sam and cate have lived with judgement and hatred since late childhood (9 to 12) like OF COURSE their response is one of anger and having had completely enough.
cate definitely isn’t my favourite character after it was revealed she stole luke’s memories of sam but i can understand how she was put in that position.
sam and cate’s childhoods were stolen from them by a choice their parents made to their body without their consent and only they have suffered the consequences of this. both of them are too complex characters to be simply reduced to violent extremists.

Want some OC lore nobody asked for? I gotchu!!
Sam Blyth ~ More about their species, powers etc.
Introduction / General info ;
Sam Blyth is a Non-binary half angel (they go by They/Them). They are the youngest sibling in the Blyth family (Andrew Blyth being the oldest). Sam has always been known for being quite shy, struggling to communicate with most people and being overly emotional with crying over the most minor inconveniences. However, Sam has grown up to be "the angel of nature", with their willingness to help the nature around them, especially animals! Sam has a soft spot for animals, and always has had it. They can approach and take care of animals with ease, and believes all creatures should have a life and be protected, even the ones who have a tendency to be more harmful!
Sam has always lived in the "shade" as such, with their older brother Andrew taking up most of the spotlight most of the time with his charisma and general extroverted behaviour. However, Sam doesn't mind as much not being in the spotlight, as it allows them to do their own thing. Though it can spark some form of jealousy with Andrew always being the favourite, even having the chance to be famous as a human. Sam lives with their older sibling Andrew from when they were 6 years old, and always has done ever since Andrew and Sam's mother gave Sam to Andrew. They both have the same mother and different father.
Their main hobby is fashion design - making funky outfits and clothing items. They hope to make this their job one day, hopefully gaining traction over it. They usually dress in their own styles, like cottagecore, fairycore, ethereal, and more! Their favourite colour is pink, so they dress mostly in that colour! However, they also like to dress in lighter blues, purples, white, and perhaps even yellows (basically more muted/lighter colours)! They have an obsession with strawberries in general, so expect to see strawberry patterns on their clothing/accessories, strawberry themed decor, and more! Despite their love for all animals, cats are their favourite.
Sam's face under the hair at the side of their face ;
Sam is canonically half angel, half shadow creature. A shadow creature is a species I made up years ago - around age 12/13.
A shadow creature is a creature that has shadow-like skin and unique powers and/or other attributes that are special to them. They also mostly survive off of their souls being in gems (in which souls are a huge part of my OC lore), which can be located anywhere. They can have any amount of gems, but they mostly have 1-2 gems. Shadow creatures' existence are mostly frowned upon due to Discord being the king of them, so they are mostly believed to be evil. However, in contrary to popular belief, they aren't actually all that evil - not all of them anyways. In contrast to angels meaning to be good, or demons meaning to be bad, shadow creatures are meant to have a mixture, some good, some bad. They are mostly creatures who haven't been located in heaven or hell (purgatory if you will). (Discord used to be a shadow creature before turning into a demon)
The first photo is to showcase that Sam is actually half; with their genes being mixed up as their mother is an angel and father is a shadow creature. Technically they were only meant to take one and be fully angel or shadow creature - as thats how things usually work in my universe - but somehow, Sam managed to take both and become half and half! Their gems are located; two behind their tears (hidden) and one in the cape they wear in their full shadow creature form (which will be visible in a later photo) ◇
Phase 1 / 2 (minor phases) ;
These doodles look poorly drawn but you get the memo
Phase 1: Normal Sam. Their symptoms of being a shadow creature mostly are not visible (only beneath the hair that covers the side of their face). This is when they are in a positive/normal mood. However, being simply sad or angry does not provoke their symptoms to work up to phase 2. It has to be extreme emotions.
They dont have a tail during phase 1; only a halo, wings, and shadow creature like features under their hair that covers side of their face; so they mostly look like an angel and unless you peek under their hair (which Sam will hardly allow), they will look like your average angel.
Phase 2: the shadow creature symptoms are a lot more visible. These can include growing a feather like tail as shown above, shadowy skin spreading, seen experiencing stronger emotions like seething anger or distraught emotions for example, and usually seen to always have tears in their eyes (especially the shadowy side of their face).
Phase 3 (The final phase - uncontrollable) ;
Finally, last but not least...
Phase 3: The final phase. Now, Sam hardly ever reaches phase 3, once in their life I reckon. This is when Sam is at their strongest (strongest in my universe in that case). Their powers become out of control, and their shadowy skin takes over them fully, turning them into this "abomination". They grow out of control with their powers, having the ability to create large natural disasters (for example) unprovoked. Like I said however, theres no need to worry as theres only one instance where Sam has gotten so furious that this has happened. It's usually quite difficult to calm Sam down from this much emotion (it has to be extreme EXTREME emotion for Sam to get this far), but it is possible.
Their symptoms include;
☆ Shadowy skin taking over their whole body, turning them into this shadow-like abomination where their skin begins to melt.
☆ Their hair grows to a long length, usually braided.
☆ Turquoise horns grow (I know the horns above look more green but shhhh).
☆ They have a mini cape now. As well as the gems covered by their tears, they now have one attached to the middle of tje cape as shown.
☆ Their feathery tail grows longer than phase 2.
Extras ;
♡ Now, as already mentioned, Sam has their own weapon they can make appear for however long they wish (as all supernatural creatures like Sam can in my universe), in which Sam can make appear from as little as phase 1. Phase 3 gives a clue, but its a lavender bow - thats their weapon.
♡ Sam has been told by their big brother Andrew since they were younger that they were to keep their magic in check from a young age, so they weren't allowed to use their magic (mostly, it was more lighter ones that could easily be controlled that Sam could use) and they were shielded from the outside world from a young age, thus, they were homeschooled by Andy. This is where Sam realised they had the ability to communicate with animals, and when they learned that they were the angel of nature.
♡ Sam always defends and looks after animals, even animals like tarantulas, snakes, tigers, rats, all of them!! However, they also defend all sorts of creatures too, even the more frowned upon ones like demons.
♡ WILL cry if you yell at them. Please do not yell at them.
♡ They have tiny wings and a small halo to signify how important theyre viewed by the public(folk in my universe) in terms of the tale, in contract to Andrew having a huge halo and huge wings to signify his importance.
♡ They LOVE flowers (honestly, same)
♡ They are always the best dressed at the event. Like 99.5% of the time
♡ Completely unrelated, but the outfit in the first photo was an absolute NIGHTMARE to draw. Had to repeat "trust the process" to myself so many times before I actually continued.
Anyways!! Thats Sam for you!! In conclusion; Sam is best lil fella.

The v cool @carrie-tate asked about my tickle headcanons of Teruki (EVERYONE HERE SUSH IT’S <3 <3 h i m <3) in This Asky because of This Post and I shall answer because Teru is one of the most interesting and fun charaters to me so! Let’s gooo!!
🦁 Teru’s Headcanons 🦁
(Teru's new hair reminds me of a lion cub so that is the emoji of today VWHGWYWGW)
He is just so *incoherente noises*. This guy has just so much Vibes I can’t take it
Tickling someone? YES. Being tickled? Absolutely yes. He is perfect for everything and that is a fact.
First of all, Teruki is a hell of a ler. Not only because he knows how to look for sweet weak tickle spots and has teases dripping freely from his lips before the person can even realize what is happening, his attentive eyes actively searching for everything that makes the bean that is being tickled flustered and giggly and just latching on those things until the person is lost admist laughter and tickly tingles.
(Mob lost the count of the amount of times Teru would manage to make him squeal tickling spots that he isn’t even aware he was ticklish in the first place)
But, anyway, he is one of the biggest lers ever because he. is. so. smug.
He is very good at making people a mess of giggles and he knows that. And he knows that you know that he knows that. So, the entire time attacking someone with clawing fingers and distracting pokes he will just have That Smile. The Smile. The Smug, Teasy, Playful smile that automatically makes shivers run across the your spine and makes giggles bounce on your throat.
He doesn’t have a very good poker face because of that, btw. Mah boy can’t pretend that he didn’t realzie he was tickling someone by accident or feigning innocence for his LIFE
Teru doesn’t do a lot of antecipation too. He is more of a:
“Hmm. I think I am going to tickle you.”
“Wha-”
And then give the person no time to process his words or run away sdfghgfdsdfg
EXCEPT when it comes to Shigeo. Because he is extremely cute trying to not titter and yelp every time Teru decides to tease him w anttecipation by lightly - very, very lightly - skittering his fingers on his torso and wondering out loud about “What tickle spot should he gave his especial attention today?~’
Talking about cute and soft things, Teru is an absolute SOFTIE. Yes, he is an evil, teasy, smug, playful and meanie ler who can and will use all his tickly power (both metaphorically and literally because no, he is not above using his powers to help him tickle someone sdfghjhgf) but he is WEAK for cute things. He will forever deny it but making someone just... laugh is very nice. It’s fun. It feels like he is able to make something important, to impact someone’s live positively even without his powers.
Now, now, talking about adorable things, don’t even get me started on Teruki as a Lee. Because ohhh gosh.
Oooohhh gosh
Before everything I 100% agree with your Teru’s in a Lee Mood headcanons and they are *chef kiss* fabulous, perfection, incredible absolutely amazing.
Now picture with me: Mob in a Ler Mood and being too shy to do something about it and Teru realizing. And he wants Mob to loosen up a bit more! He wants him to just feel free to be playful and silly with no worries
So he decides to be a gremlin.
Teru will act a bit like the way he is when in a Lee Mood, but with less embarassement. He will be stretching all the time, wearing crop tops and asking for Mob’s opinion, tapping his own fingers on his stomach or sides, laying on Shigeo’s lap and putting his hands behind his head, sometimes even giving Shigeo a poke or two to show he would be okay w a tickle fight in that moment.
And then Mob (and here I am heavily LOOKING at Otomiya’s idea of Mob tickly “”power”” building up until 100%) will finally attack and Teru IMMEDIATELY will go from a grinning come-on-tickle-me-I-dare-you to NONONONOWAITWAITPLEASEPLEASEWAIT in like half of a second.
That man can’t take what he dishes out AT ALL. If someone gives him a single one (1) jab on his side and he is falling on the floor he is smiling like crazy he is pleading for mercy he is ded.
Maybe it’s because he was so used to being feared and looked upon during his entire life before his fight with Shiego but the idea of someone being silly? Tickling him and being teasy and having fun and paying attention to him and not his powers his reactions and smiling and caring makes him very, very, veeeery flustered. And extremely giddy. And at least 100% more ticklish because holy gosh-
99,9% of the times he is tickled he was almost sure he was melting and honestly by the awed way Shigeo looks at him when he is tickling the blonde maybe that is still a possibilty SDFGHJKMJNHB
He has ticklish elbows. Mob can tap-tap his way from his wrist to his elbows and he will giggle and snort his head out. Sorry that is the true I don’t make the rules.
