Thinking very hard about an AU idea of mine. Reluctant king Sabo AU!
In which Sabo isn’t saved by Dragon, but survives long enough to drift ashore and be saved by the doctors of Goa Kingdom, who do so only to ransom his medical bills from Sabo’s parents. Sabo’s parents take him back, thinking that his amnesia makes him a clean slate, but Sabo, young and stubborn and unsure of his entire identity, knows that everything is wrong and runs again, and again, and again.
Until at some point, he meets the Revolutionaries, and realizes that he can be useful to them, provide them information, make something good of an inescapable situation. From then on, he starts acting the noble that he was born as, in order to be a more useful informant to the Revolutionaries, until sunk cost fallacy hits and he believes that being a noble is the only way that he can be useful to the Revolutionaries. So at that point, why not take it all the way?
At 17, Sabo becomes one of Princess Sarie’s suitors, and at 17, he has doubts about using the princess for his own goals. Sarie is a romantic, and she wants a dramatic fairy tale of a romance, and she was already charmed, but the moment Sabo opens up to her about not wanting to use her to get to the throne, having lofty ambitions of helping the people (just not the people she thinks he’s talking about), Sabo becomes the one she simply must marry, because surely if she tries hard enough, she can make him love her back.
Soon after, the king and his son die. Sarie’s father and brother die. And while Sabo conveniently ascends to the throne, he also swiftly implicates his father, Outlook, in the assassination of all heirs to the throne, resulting in Outlook’s arrest and subsequent execution. And thus, at 18, Sabo becomes king, and begins to gradually institute great changes to Goa Kingdom.
Design-wise, Sabo wears an eyepatch because his damaged eye is considered a grotesque sight by nobles’ standards. Under the eyepatch, he wears heavy makeup to hide the burn scar. These are both at the behest of his birth parents, who spin a story about Sabo having been born half blind to hide the fact that Sabo had been shot by a Celestial Dragon and save face. To those who have seen his scar, they fabricate a second secret story that he was unfortunately kidnapped as a child. Sabo never does find out, until he regains his memories, where the burn scar is actually from.

What if after the events of the comic, Max still deals with flickers/time portals now and again. And makes poor Chloe with the major abandonment issues freak out
Also Inspired by theforgetfulalchemist’s fic on AO3 that focuses on multiple realities at once. ( took a few liberties with Chloe’s look, but still inspired by a scene in ch.18)

So funny to me that like this all started because Jack Perry was taking a real life problem and turning it into a moment for his new on screen Heel character (it’s real glass), and then Rat Hole City guy got like mad over it (even tho most people didn’t even know it was talking about him, just thought it was a character thing, which it was), and attacked Jack over it for no reason, no proven by the video.
And now Jack is coming out to raving reactions in CHICAGO. Like he’s a star now. Like he took all the bad and made himself a STAR!
And that is what true professionals in the business do. They ride out the bad and use the heat to make themselves STARS.
Jack Perry is gonna be just fine y’all 🥰

Yuna dropping 'sir' before addressing Auron was a significant statement. Here stood a man who had guarded her father with his life, being one of three directly responsible for bringing Spira its latest Calm. His actions have earned boundless admiration and respect from her. Yet, she felt the need to forge a connection that transcended the elder-youth disparity. Her intent on not letting family die was clear, customs be damned.

I adore every moment that Maia thinks about what his father would have done and actively chooses to do the opposite, to choose compassion even when it's hard and goes against his instincts
His internal pov is very self-deprecating and draws attention to his own perceived weaknesses as a baby emperor, but it must take so much bravery and strength to continue to try to be compassionate, to not choose cruelty, especially towards people that disdain him or want to use him for their own gain
