#are you meant to acknowledge them?

[dinosaur-mayonnaise]

three way emails are so ANNOYING

you add a third person and suddenly none of the regular social rules apply.

and don't even get me STARTED on cc's. i can never be a corporate girlie bc to me these are the horrors.

#are you meant to say 'dear all'? #are you meant to name the two other people? #who knows #if one of the people reply to your email saying only 'dear [y/n] do you reply back saying only 'dear [their name]'??? #do you still include the third person in the 'send to' option? #or do they get downgraded to 'cc'? #and what if the other two people are having a conversation without you but still including you in the email #are you meant to acknowledge them? #bc i always find 'yes i've received this' emails such a waste of time #but also is it rude to ignore them? #but also are you intruding on their conversation if they're talking amongst themselves? #but also would they still send it to you if they didn't want you to reply? #or do they just want you to be a passive observer? #don't even get me started on when YOU'RE the one cc'd in #let alone being bc'd in #pain torture agony #i hate this someone needs to burn outlook #let's go back to handwritten letters through carrier pigeon #or better yet telegrams which charge by the letter so you don't have to bother with pleasantries

That feeling when he can't stand to see you that way, no matter what you do, no matter what you say😩😭💔

#scott pilgrims precious little life #scott pilgrim vs the world #spvtw #spto #scott pilgrim #wallace wells #lisa miller #scollace #kim pine #natalie adams #envy adams #don't rlly know if I like how this turned out but oh well;;; #hope its obvious that this is based on the song “Scott Pilgrim” which the creation the comics were inspired from #the lyrics always make me think of Wallace and Lisa's feelings for Scott every time I hear it #ofc you could also relate it to Kim especially since the singers voice kind of reminds me of her #but overall the lyrics fit these two much better since Scott never truly “saw them that way” despite how long they've liked him #and they always seem happier to see him compared to Kim #Im surprised tho that I havent yet seen anyone draw these two together now that their dialogue parallels have been acknowledged more lately #also tho I wish more people pointed out that they both got cucked by red heads LOL #and Kim and Envy actually do look really similar when scott first meets them #makes me wonder if Scott subconsciously went for Envy since she reminded him of Kim (which would be fitting given that you could argue that #Envy dated Scott because he reminded her of Todd. Since he and Scott are confirmed to be meant to be seen as similar to one another #so much so that even their first and last names rhyme #last thing I'll add tho is that while Wallace and Lisa are very similar even personality wise #the one big difference is that despite that whole conclusion on vol4 of Scott not cheating on Ramona with Lisa because he loves her #the writers apparently think it would be “organically correct” for him to have an affair with wallace LMAO #but I guess we shouldn't be surprised since Wallace and Ramona are both in the front of the official valentines art which is clearly #a deptiction of Scotts wet dream or smth (oh and you could also argue that Wallace and Lisa parallel on that art since they're both #shirtless with white socks.. which could be a reference to how lisa wears skimpy clothes for Scott and Wallace often only wears boxers #to like sexually frustrate Scott for fun or smth

I just. What do you think was going through his mind when his car exploded into pieces in front of him and the piece that landed next to him was a hand crank? Like the world was ending around him, he'd just gone through the rollercoaster of losing and then finding his angel again, and from the burning bones of the Bentley fate offers him an echo of the same object he'd once been given divinely. What did it feel like to reach for a souvenir and find that object given to him in this new context? What did it feel like to use that again in this moment of once again offering the fate of humanity up to the choice of one it's own? To be able to hold this thing, born again from a human made object, and say this time I am going to use it to give them the opportunity to choose their own fate?

#good omens #crowley #I keep thinking about this and how he leaves that airfield wondering if this was all God's plan from the start #I wonder if it felt like finding equilibrium or maybe a sort of reclamation #Like acknowledging that even if you are not who you once were you can and often do still carry parts of them with you #And validation that carrying those parts do not mean you are still that person #That same act starting the universe in motion again has such a different meaning being used to give Adam a choice #Despite the fact it is clearly meant to be an echo of starting the universe for the sake of being created to do so #Hi yes I'm still thinking about the damn hand crank

Nene’s Role in Wonderlands x Showtime

The release of The Miniature Garden’s Coral seems to have confirmed some things I’ve recently speculated might transpire in future Wonderlands x Showtime events-- namely regarding Nene and how she may actually be the most important member of the troupe-- so, let’s talk about them! I’ll be using zui’s lyrics video for my translations, so hopefully they’re accurate.

With the past couple of WxS events in mind, it’s easy to see that this 3DMV is also about endings. While the MV begins in a sunny blue afternoon light...

...the characters and set eventually bask in a beautiful sunset orange, signaling the end of the day. The lyrics even mention being “between the end of the blue sky and the beginning of the night sky,” further emphasizing that we’re in the middle of the story. When the sky is blue, the troupe expresses uncertainty: Rui mentions that he feels lost, and Tsukasa, scared. But eventually, Nene admits that, in this beginning period, she was “spoiled by the sound of the waves,” AKA that the commotion surrounding WxS’s formation led to a troupe that became a source of comfort for all of them.

Once the sun sets, there are a lot of “even ifs.” Nene sings about how she’ll continue to sing this song, even if things are starting to look unsteady and she’s not sure if she should proceed. However, by the end of the song, she resolves to "still sing this song” while keeping up a smile.

I think that the fact that Nene says she will sing this song is incredibly important, because, as established, this song is about endings. Meanwhile, back in Mr. Showtime, Tsukasa firmly didn’t want WxS to end, and was holding out until closing time. Rui’s What Sort of Ending Are You Wishing For? and Emu’s Starry Sky Orchestra seemingly both acknowledge an ending as well, but it’s not at all easy. Rui seems to fall into a resigned depression at the thought, keeping a whimsical facade up when the very thought of separating kills him inside. The thought haunts him, MV riddled with hourglasses that he can’t get out of his head. Emu can only tolerate taking the first step towards a breakup with tooth-rottingly sugarcoated promises of eternal togetherness and literally holding hands as they go (I love her btw this is not Emu slander). She never even says the word “end,” only “tomorrow.”

Rui, Emu, and Tsukasa are basically Denialx3. Rui tries to deny his emotions regarding disbanding, Emu tries to deny that the ending is coming at all, and Tsukasa tries to deny that there’s nothing he can do to keep them from inevitably drifting apart. And that’s where Nene comes in again.

Rui’s dream is to perform technically complex shows that will resonate with an audience. He can do that from Phoenix Wonderland. Emu’s dream is to keep the Wonder Stage up and operating forever. She has to do that from Phoenix Wonderland. Tsukasa’s dream is to become the number one world star and make everyone smile. While this would likely take him away from the park, in another story, I could see it being possible that, in the end, Tsukasa decides that making the people in his local community happy is more important than trying to change the entire world. Thus, he could also follow his dream from Phoenix Wonderland, even if it’s not ideal.

But then there’s Nene. Her dream is, and always has been, to perform in Broadway musicals. Broadway is a live performance in New York City. There is no possible way for Nene to get what she wants while staying in Phoenix Wonderland. And that is possibly why Wonderlands x Showtime’s ending is the easiest for her to process.

Now, I’m not trying to say that Nene doesn’t love her friends. She adores them. Her three previous commissions have proven that. It’s the amount of love she has for them that will propel her to make what is actually the best choice for their dreams. Nene is the little mermaid, both when swimming freely the oceans with a beautiful, unstoppable song, and when enduring pain herself to stand with and for the ones she loves. Her friends, in this situation... are coral.

Remember that coral, “blurred” and uncertain in the water and “stained orange by the setting sun”? The miniature garden is Phoenix Wonderland; the coral is Emu, Rui, and Tsukasa; and that coral is stained orange by its desperation to keep rereading the final chapter instead of closing the book for now and putting it away to revisit in the future. Coral, while a beautiful living organism, is also completely static.

Static like stone statues which, at least by my interpretation, is what the rest of WxS turns into at the end of the 3DMV. The three of them (and Kaito) are paralyzed with the fear of the suffering an ending would bring. Only Nene is alive and human to be the one to show the group the benefits it can bring as well.

There are a lot of aspects of this song and Nene’s entire personality that lead me to believe that she will be the one to bring about change in WxS. First, she most often “has the braincell,” so to speak. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that she performs this song with Kaito, the most mature of the WxS vocaloids, either. During April Fool’s 2023, she was put into the Solid Heart class. One might think that troupe leader Tsukasa should be the Solid Heart, and that shy Nene should be the Cautious Heart, but they (accurately) sorted it the other way.

Nene is a very strong-willed person. In other stories, it might be seen as a negative that Nene is always the most hesitant one to get into shenanigans, or that she would even dare to be the one to suggest a WxS split in the first place. What an ungrateful wet blanket Nene is, willing to throw away her friends for the sake of her own selfish dream. But in this story, staying at Phoenix Wonderland isn’t really what will make Rui or Tsukasa happy, and even Emu may have to graduate to focusing on the entire company instead of just one stage someday.

Nene’s friends brought her out of the darkness and into the light of day, and she is so grateful for that. She knows how amazing they are, which is how she knows that they can make more friends and continue to do even more amazing things in the future if they can bear to leave their high school part-time jobs behind and enter the real world, just like her.

So, Nene’s role is to be Wonderlands x Showtime’s guiding light. She’ll tell Rui what sort of ending she’s wishing for, and then console him when he can’t repress his tears. She’ll be the one to hold Emu’s hand while they take that next step into tomorrow. Her three best friends helped her to grow from the loner who operated a robot from the theme park bushes, and she’ll help them step out of that theme park and be who they truly want to be.

There is one other thing I wanted to mention, though...

Tsukasa.

As I mentioned previously, while all three of Rui, Emu, and Tsukasa are in denial, Tsukasa is the most actively in opposition to an ending. He’s also the troupe leader, and the sole creator of the Wonderland Sekai. If someone is going to actively try to stop Nene from suggesting separation, it’s definitely going to at least start with him. But as Nene has already stated in The Miniature Garden’s Coral, despite any opposition that makes her question whether or not she should proceed, she already plans to continue singing her beliefs about a bittersweet yet timely goodbye.

And, their conflict is something that’s basically been foreshadowed from the beginning too, right? Nene has always roasted Tsukasa, giving a counterpoint to his blindingly bright worldview. In upcoming chapters, however, I believe that may start to transform from simple fun banter into a genuine conflict with clear sides drawn...

And THAT’S why ColoPale gave them Childish War.

Nenekasa nation get ready, ‘cause I don’t think this is the last Nene and Tsukasa fight we’re going to see.

We as a fandom don’t talk enough about how Game of Thrones decided to combine Jon Snow and Young Griff into one character and how that was absolutely ridiculous on like 1000 different levels. Because how do you combine two characters who are FOILS to one another and then play it completely straight?! Then to make matters worse they gave Jon the boy’s stupid name?! Goddamnit I knew they didn’t get Jon as a character pretty early on, but why mesh his arc with the one guy you shouldn’t combine with? 😭

#top 3 greatest got crimes I fear #talk about understanding neither character #like Aegon is there to serve as a foil to Jon and inform on a lot of the tropes grrm is deconstructing with Jon’s arc #you can’t make them the same character because you completely miss the whole point #also remember when they combined jon and stannis? #like people acknowledge that and are like yeah fine what ever but like…. #am I the only one who also freaking HATES that?!? #because Jon and Stannis are anti-parallels you CANT DO THAT #without completely ruining Jon’s arc #like idc if it ruins stannis’ plot line but I care about Jon because he’s one of the central/main characters!!! #you can’t combine his story line with more minor characters who are meant to serve as foils to him #but what else can I expect from the themes are for eighth grade book reports brigade #jon snow #aegon vi targaryen #young griff #asoiaf #game of thrones

So, I’m thinking about the immortal au (obsessing, casually)

And I’m really into Good Omens, and I was thinking about the way that Aziraphale and Crowley’s relationship is often shown through various non-chronological flashbacks to different points in history besides the present-day storyline.

This came to mind because I was thinking about if this au were written as a fic, this format would be really cool to see if the hypothetical fic took place around the time leading up to m/c somehow claiming the dca from the pizzaplex with the flashbacks being from before/when m/c meets the dca. (I hope that makes sense)

I can’t really call myself a writer so I’m not sure if this is a good idea or not but I’ve been thinking about this premise a lot and thought I’d share.

Ooooooh that's great!! It's an interesting idea for sure, kinda like intercalating (is that the word? Idk english is hard. Consider mixing) the two arcs (which would be pre/during-pizza plex and post-pizzaplex)

I think about flashbacks a lot regarding the 'mc' but whenever I think of them is more like. Things lost in time, from places of really, really long ago

Them making a vague comment about how some random king was a wise and kind leader on his time, smiling softly as they remember how great of a friend he also was, and how they both would gaze down the grass field and talk about nothing and everything

Them mentioning not liking something to the dca, trying their best to not think of the specific situation centuries ago that made them to this day still be scared of it

They are the carrier of the memories of people who've been lost on time and history, who keeps them alive by remembering them, telling their stories after they are long gone. Kinda dramatic but it's like holding onto a drawing your old childhood best friend made you back when you were kids and that you still cherish despite having lost contact ages ago

They've loved those people with an open bleeding heart time and time again, which reflects on their relationship with the dca today and all the things they don't quite tell them

I always think of flashbacks of important relationships that marked them like fire to the skin, which narrative-wise I guess is also kinda interesting- but idk

But I really like your idea too, for sure is smth I'll keep in mind if one day I get to sit down and sort out how will I write this thing

Man, i really gotta watch good omens one of these days

#noogit9000 #sorry for the ramble lmao thats probably more than you asked for #when i said the immortal had a somewhat formed backstory i meant it with all my heart. they do #i am 100% normal about it #not insane at all #oc #dca au #immortal au #immortal au ask #when you have eternity on your hand #you also have more time to not get over things #more time to mourn your losses #more time to not acknowledge things. more time to ignore #if people can change what's does that say about someone who's been changing for centuries? #are they still that person? will they ever be close to it again? is there anything to hold on to of that time if not even them are the same? #is the mask you wear to adapt your surroundings not you? is it any less valid? #truth is you're everything you've ever been. but that's too much #so let's move on from that

My least evidence based headcanon rn... trans girl childe

#idk man theres just something about him. its crazy bc normally when i transgenderify a character in my mind i will take their canon pronouns #like. itto and shinobu are transmasc and transfem respectively to me #when i trans them its retroactive #because i never really had. a realization. the act of realizing you are trans has never really meant much to me but with childe #hehe. childe comes out of the abyss with his hair grown out and he looks at it and he says hmmm. no its cool. im definitely keeping it #because its cool. and not any other reason #fast foreward one year and she does rip your throat out if you misgender her on purpose. and YES with her teeth #to me the only change is that he is a girl and wants people to acknowledge that now. all of the freakishness NEEDS to remain intact #mikhail and lyudmila in mondstadt like 'finally. some normal fucking news' #board certified my post #childe

the chances of the people seeing this aren't super likely so this is highly inefficient but i'm too afraid to approach people personally…. yet i've been burning with the need to express my gratitude for the tags i've received individually somehow and figured, i could do it the way i do best. in the tags 😅

(sorted by most recent) (i capped the limit hard here) (some ✂️✂️ had to be done 😔) (i still like this format a lot though) (might do this again in the future idk would people like that??) (i hope it's not mortifying for anyone……..)

it's sorta the way i like it, indirect and unimposing, even if it's kinda. wieldy. but it's just on my blog so anything goes right? although in saying that, i am open to being imposed on. like if someone wants to talk about aci or something, like other fic?? i'm a big fic fiend. or anything else lol not sure what else you'd wanna chat about since so much of the stuff i've put out is just. about fic. but hey, if you're a person i don't mind being approached :>

I think some of you guys hate Izzy more than you ever liked Ed and no amount of “he’s my special babygirllll 💞 she’s just a sparkle princess you can’t hold her accountable for anything 🥰✨” posts are gonna be able to hide that

#like yeah nice try using the brown dude as a shield for your hate campaign or whatever but it isn’t working lol #I’m sure they kinda like Ed. but they sure don’t like Ed as much as they like hating on Izzy #who Ed loves btw. let’s just circle back there sometime they love each other. eat dirt maybe #I adore Ed and I love how nuanced and messy his breakdown was #how his actions aren’t motivated by being Evil but at the same time his actions are his own #and they’re undeniably fucked up to the nth degree and he has to own them #because it’s kinda relatable tbh!! I’ve never been that horrid but I’m a person and I’ve fucked up before #and even if I was struggling deeply at the time because of other’s behaviours towards me it was me who did those things #and I had to own them. and grow from it #and my queerness and brownness and trauma didn’t make me exempt from growing and being responsible #which also meant I’m not exempt from personhood and growing and bettering myself and loving myself and all the good that comes with humanity #Ed did fucked up horrible things to the crew and Izzy. and if you can’t acknowledge them for what they are and how awful they are #then you can’t really acknowledge Ed as a character and person beyond the limited ideal you made of him in your head. what he did was wrong #and that’s not alright. but it’s okay. because we know he’s gonna have to grow. that’s the bit people who really care are looking forward to #I’m tagging this #the izcourse #because I kinda feel like it’s overlapping with really shitty Ed takes and meta

I can't go five minutes in DW fandom without people being just atrociously mean about things that I love with the blissful unawareness of majority mainstream opinion holders that the people they're being mean about are like. In the space with them. And this in a space full of ardent fans of arguably some of the most esoteric obscure side stuff that everyone else disdains or doesn't even know. And I'm having fun for the most part but also like. It's just exhausting, constantly goddamn exhausting.

#this is about moffat and eleven #in case that wasn't clear #megan whines into the empty abyss of cyberspace #i'm not gonna say that Lawrence Miles in particular doesn't have every reason to hate Moffat #or that as an EDA fan first and foremost I don't also side eye the fuck out of a lot of his early arc plots #but Moffat wrote *characters* in a way that no one before or since does #everyone droning on about rtd found family has nothing on 11 and 12 era character relationships #also yeah it is genuinely annoying and upsetting that people are STILL going on and on and on and on about ~bad vibes~ ~misogyny~ whatever #like that's just your opinion man #and I think certain fans would genuinely be shocked to actually acknowledge that some people just straight up disagree with them #and straight up have a different experience with that era of the show #and don't share the opinions that got so saturated with so little pushback that the arguments are by now parodies of themselves #like do you hate eleven's era because you formed that opinion yourself or do you hate eleven's run because hbomb made a video? #do you feel the way you feel because you came to that opinion or because others in fandom 'warned' you about moffat before you started? #also like ngl it just straight up hurts my feelings #it's mean! it's just really mean and I'm tired of getting my feelings hurt in situations that are meant to be fun! #I lived through this ten years ago when I'd watch Dr Who and then get on the internet to talk about it #and every post would be just endless bad faith nitpicking and tearing the episode apart #anyway gonna watch power of the daleks now and remind myself not to engage w nuwho fandom

While it is completely valid to hate capitalism for personal reasons, if your hatred for it ends when your needs are met, then you are inherently missing the point.

tummy hurt so I can’t go college thesis on this post but I am sincerely urging everyone who’s ever obsessed over dean’s persistent kindness despite the horrors to please give some of that credit to jack as well . Thank you

#this will never happen bc well #asking the spn fandom to care about someone that isn’t dean or cas or both of them having gay sex is like #trying to find a needle in a haystack basically #Sam girls are barely above water with it sometimes but jackgirls are developing bioluminescence to adapt to our deep dark surroundings #spn #supernatural #dean winchester #jack kline #sam winchester #castiel #tfw2.0 #dean #jack #this isn’t meant to be a competition of who suffered more or who dealt with their trauma more I promise #just . please acknowledge jack with as much nuance as you do Dean and the others. please. #I am always starving jackgirls are always starving we are almost extinct from the starvation #spn fandom #spn family #void posting bc this will not happen I fear

Like I love to criticize jjk as much as the next person but all these really annoying ppl who are saying the series is bad because characters are dying…… 1. Grow up. 2. Why in fresh fucking hell did you EVER think everyone was gonna make it to the end of this series

#I 100% get having issues with HOW characters died #like I’m still pissed about everything regarding yuki’s death #and while I wanted Gojo to die I also wasn’t satisfied with the death we got #but like…. to act like the series is bad BECAUSE these characters are dying and not HOW they’re dying #how are you missing the series core themes….. #how are you missing that the point was that everyone was gonna die #like either yuuji was gonna die to solidify that Gojo and megumi failed #or Gojo and megumi were gonna die so yuuji is cursed to living knowing HE failed #like I just always acknowledged???? that was the direction the series was going????? #so to see people get GENUINELY PISSED that characters are dying and yuuji will almost certainly end the series unhappy…. #like I do not know how to tell you that was always gonna be the point….. #and if you thought the series was meant to have an overly happy ending you were NOT paying close enough attention #like it’s not a happy story? it hasn’t been at any point? #why would it END happy it would feel so out of place? #idk it’s just confusing to me #like by all means criticize it the series fucking needs it #but you are complaining about the wrong fucking things #idk this also might be my thing where if ppl genuinely get so attached to characters that you get unreasonably angry when they die #and can’t ackowledge that sometimes it makes more sense narratively for them to die #to the point where you like throw fucking fits about it…. #I dunno….. I think you just need to take a step back #or at least know yourself well enough to not get into media where it’s obvious characters are gonna drop like flies 🤷🏼‍♀️ #like I get major character death isn’t for everyone and that’s fine #but if it viscerally upsets you to that point #yeah…. yeah I think you need to take it upon yourself to avoid stories that are obviously gonna contain it like idk #kaz rambles

okay so let's talk about brooke and jenna and chloe. i have had thoughts about them since forever and i think it's time i shared them.

jenna is always teetering on the edge of the Popular Kids' clique- her motivation for wanting to be a part of their group isn't popularity but visibility. she's lonely. she doesn't belong anywhere. nobody ever notices her. and the easiest way to get attention is by invoking negative reactions from people. and by god, chloe is an easy source for that. she's so quick to anger and she lets everyone know it. that's why chloe is practically jenna's only bridge to the Popular Kids- the others won't let her get involved so easily. oh, but what about brooke? she's nice, wouldn't she be willing to be friends with jenna? well, not with chloe in the picture. chloe is deeply obsessed with brooke. (i would say infatuated honestly. she was totally in love with brooke. i could write an essay on this.) she couldn't care less about anyone else- sometimes she doesn't even care about brooke herself. and that is where things get complicated between jenna and brooke.

i'm not sure what the fandom's general take on their relationship is but i believe they never got along. they couldn't have. 'bonding over chloe mistreating them' is impossible because of chloe's nature- chloe can never be a positive influence. she destroys relationships whether they're her own or not. she has to have all the attention to her at all times- brooke is careful not to get on chloe's nerves, she always has to be on chloe's side, chloe wants brooke all to herself. brooke can never really get close to jenna. jenna, on the other hand, is always trying to get chloe's attention and never brooke's. what's the point? it's not like brooke will interact with her anyway. it's a vicious cycle of brooke ignoring jenna and jenna ignoring brooke in return and although it wasn't their intention in the beginning, the gap between them eventually grows deeper and further until they're alienated from each other. there is unspoken tension and dislike between them despite knowing neither had malicious intent toward the other. they know it's irrational and stupid and that it's really chloe who's at fault but they don't know how to fix it. it's simply been that way for too long.

only after halloween- when the tangled mess that was the Popular Kids' relationship is completely shattered- do they have a chance to start over.

#bmc #be more chill #jenna rolan #chloe valentine #brooke lohst #jenna's involvement with the Popular Kids is interesting because she's certainly not a part of them but she affects their dynamic so much #i have a vivid image of a scene where brooke is crying in the school bathroom and jenna walks in #and brooke scowls at jenna telling her to go away and jenna snaps 'you can't tell me what to do' #jenna's leaning against the wall while brooke fixes herself in the mirror #when brooke makes her way toward the door jenna says 'why do you let her walk all over you anyway?' #partly out of concern partly out of genuine astonishment partly out of spite and bitterness and hoping it gets to brooke maybe #and brooke freezes and takes a deep breath and walks out without so much as acknowledging jenna #but she understands everything jenna meant by that

Thanks for asking! I accidentally deleted my initial response to this so I'm going to go hide in a corner, I think. Anyway, I used little spiral things so hopefully it's clear what I went for.

Honestly, when I first read GtN, I liked Fifth and Sixth House but it was in a kind of "we hardly knew ye" way. So I thought Cam was neat and I thought Pal was super neat, but I was much more into the mystery aspects of the book. It actually took me until NtN for me to actually become properly attached to Cam, but I suspect I'll understand a lot more about her when I get around to a full reread of the series.

I think with Cam, she's generally the most sensible person in the room, unless it's about Pal and then her objectivity goes out the window. But her objectivity goes out of the window in a self-aware way? She knows she's biased here and she doesn't care to shield herself against it, which is why it's so tragic when she has to face the consequences of that. You can't talk about Cam without also talking about Pal because they're so codependent. That's why Paul was inevitable.

"If anything happens to them" and "canon isn't real", well, let's just say I have some mixed feelings about Paul. I'll have to see what happens with them come Alecto, but at least as of Nona, it feels like both of campal are gone and it's an irreversible reaction as far as we know. And yes, it was their choice. It seemed like their only route to some form of survival.

But Paul still told Nona that they would pick an option that neither Cam nor Pal would. What is it like to lose yourself to the very one you would dedicate yourself to? To mutually subsume each other until you're neither pink nor blue but purple? They aren't either of Cam or Pal. They're gone and someone entirely new is in their place.

#castielrisingabove #the locked tomb spoilers #nona the ninth spoilers #ask meme #in terms of everyone being wrong about them I'm not wading into that discourse but merely acknowledging its existence #also also on reread I really want to think more about what was meant about playing family because yeah it was aimed at pyrrha #but you can't tell me that cam wasn't also playing into it too. a family made up of denial that no one wants to fracture #was trying so hard not to make a particular reference but in the end I just made it bc even tho fusion as a concept differs across media #I do think the wording was fitting to this situation
