#but in my story line it makes sense

∇ -. old age/ageing headcanon

Sorry Anon, I hope you don't mind if I do it for my Miraculous team AU/fanon version of the characters because honestly, at this point of the story, I have a hard time imagining how any character will age ^^;

So Miraculous Team verse:

Alya

She will have a flourishing and fulfilling journalism career just like she dreamt it. After some extreme reports, she will settle back in Paris and will become the editor-in-chief of her own newspapers. After years of journalism, Alya will decide to slowly retire, entrust her newspapers to trustworthy people, and become an author. Her children's books will become especially popular in Europe, and some of her stories will become best-sellers internationally to the point they get (animated) movie adaptations - that she will closely supervise!

As for her relationship status, I can see her either staying single and living happily, being the "cool aunt" and "fairy godmother" of many children (both related and not); or married (not sure with whom yet though!) with 2 or 3 adopted kids.

Alya and Marinette will still be very close/best friends after years and a mentor for new Miraculous users (when she chooses to stop being one herself). Also close to her own family, her parents would be worried sick for her during her "journalist of the extreme" years, but still very proud of her.

Chloé

Choosing a career will be quite a challenge for her, it might take some time for her to know what she wants to do, what her skills would allow her to do, and so on. For about 5 years, she will be a food critic for a famous guide (think of the equivalent of the Michelin Guide), travelling around France. It will be a very good experience for her, but after having various stomach problems and her liver protesting, she decided to change her career path and take care of her health.

Chloé will travel with her girlfriend, then wife, Kagami around the world both for the latter fencer career, and to assist her in her other job. After a while, she will become an event planner and will enjoy it a lot, making some important events for people unforgettable (in a good way!).

She and her father will mend their bond in a healthy and loving way, Audrey Bourgeois merely a shadow of their past. She'll become one of the biggest fans of Zoé and a huge supporter (to the latter embarrassment and joy), advertising her little sister's movies and claiming loudly: "It's my baby sis!! Look! Isn't she cute? And talented? DON'T YOU DARE SAY NO!!!"

#miraculous ladybug #miraculous ladybug au #miraculous team au #alya cesaire #chloé bourgeois #yeah chloé's storyline is clearer #but not because I like Alya less! #it's just that I'm still hesitating for some of the main characters #I am seriously considering pairing Alya with Mireille XD #look I love DJwifi #but some relationships that start in middle school just won't last #and are not meant to #it doesn't mean it has to be tragic #I swear it broke my heart to imagine them breaking up too #but in my story line it makes sense #plus we get to see several example of relationships #I kinda see Alya in the asexual spectrum #or someone very independant

the longer his hair gets the more brooding he looks

#river dipping #theodore doe #echthroi #ts4 #ts4 edit #i feel unwell........................ what if . i switched his hair again . .. #nvm that it literally doesn't make sense at all for his hair to be this long in the story atm when he cut it all off at like 17... #i need to make theo at 27-29 so i have a version of him that always has this hair #he was blessed with good skin but i think he'd lose some of the baby fat in his cheeks and he'd get some wrinkles between his eyebrows... #he doesn't emote often yk so no smile lines </3 or anything like that... but he's definitely always glaring at ppl dfjkfhnk #theo my strap is eight inches forget about matthias i can change your life 🗣️ #i’ve been thinking abt making mattodore in their thirties or forties just bc there’s this hair that i think would be perfect for matthias #who—despite his best attempts at maintenance—can’t stop his hairline from receding a bit as he ages #i just know he’d look so good with a little gray as he hits his early to mid forties too… and theo… #sorry just thought abt theo with gray hair and blacked out

"Why do you look so frightened...?"

BLOOD WARNING Also me questioning the Dreams update thingy for oyster because I'm me-

Okay look, while I myself do like sum good ol' added angst material; I don't really know why she even stole and (maybe) murdered her "friend" in the context the nanny gave. I mean- I get it in the lore-sense to specify how she apparently got "cursed", but that just didn't feel right to me. Because it conflicts with this flavor text in a trivia screen. "Old sailors say that when a mermaid loses her pearl, she will be cursed to descend into the lightless abyss." Soooooooo.... Originally I thought because since she gave her pearl to moron Oyster Senior, she was slowly becoming more and more corrupt along with the growing greed of dumbass. But. she was still putting on a brave and happy front. Because love right? Until eventually Oyster just ran off and completely and literally threw her to the deep end... And THAT'S how she got cursed and bitter. And it seemed to be going the way I figured... More or less, the naivete and growing greed was a new one but eh, I'm flexible. But then the whole petty theft thing happened suddenly and just... Why is it when she steals from her buddy does she THEN get cursed? Is that one different from the first one? does she have two? Is the Nanny's story add-libbed? WHY DID SHE EVEN STEAL FROM THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE, WHAT WAS HER GOAL THERE???

#Thank for coming to my TedTalk where I question and complain about weird story beats for a game I don't even play #I'll be here all week. #IDK man Nanny's story be suspicious as hell #Nanny your character motivations don't make sense #Is it a matter of the story being shifted and edited throughout the generational line? #black pearl cookie #oyster cookie #crunchy dreams event #blood warning #gore content #kinda #cookie run #CRK #cookie run kingdom

3l!grian is frequently depicted as a tragic figure and sometimes i wonder if we even watched the same series

#like yes he is tragic. every character in the series is tragic but i think hes easily the least tragic of the winners #(except maybe cleo. i have my own thoughts about how cleos victory plays into her core themes and why its not as joyous or triumphant as #cleo the players and the fandom at large make it seem that i will have to make a real post about at some point) #grian dies Laughing. he smiles and calls it a dual victory before the final fight. his last words are “its been amazing.” #to me Grians arc is about how he came in with this sense of mirth. had it ripled away by the reality when his joke gets Scar killed. #and then rediscovers it as he learns that the horror of their circumstances doesn't need to keep him from delight #plus also ive never seen a man more delighted to explode three of his friends #ill also bring up that Martyns lore has Grian involved in the games explicitly to COMBAT the angst #that Grians inherent silliness and joy makes the players less hopeless as they meet their endings #and theres obviously parts of martyns lore i can take or leave but this is one area where Eyes and Ears lines up very well with what actions #the characters take and so im happy to bring it up #unlike other parts such as “limlife pearl and cleo retained more trauma between seasons than any player has before” #which i do directly refute as it doesn't seem to line up with the way the characters act and the story plays out #thats for another post though #my point here is 3l grian was having the time of his life and i think there are some fanon interpretationd that disregard that #which theyre free to do im definitely someone who has ignored canon plenty of times in the past (glances at worm) #but i think this is the sort of thing that makes the canon more interesting and compelling #anyway. um. rambled longer than i meant to there #grian #trafficblr #3rd life #3rd life smp #3lsmp

the chapter songs in Alan Wake 2,, flawless

#they deserve more love and discussion #saying this while also not knowing what to say other than they’re so fucking good #alan wake 2 #i think it’s partially because poets of the fall’s tracks are iconic so of course they’re in the spotlight (as deserved) #but also the CHAPTER SONGS. them being made for a given chatacter(s) with the help of Sam lakes poetry #the changes with ‘this road’ by Poe with every Alan chapter. becoming more distorted and revealing lyrics and the spiral #the scratch song being 1) hilarious and 2) similar to Zane’s poetry in the aw1 arg #the emotion in superhero when saga feels lost at the story making it so Logan was gone #the lines of her feeling like a ghost in this story forming around her.. how she feels guilty and absent for both what the story’s doing #and being away from Logan because of her job. ashdhhhhjhh my heart #AND. follow you into the dark HAS to be alice. which kills me because at for at I thought of Alan #but no. Alice jumped in the dark place after him. it’s so !!!!!!!!!!! #the rabbit hole line. Alice spiraling deeper and deeper into a dream—into wonderland #the Lost at Sea one is also good. intrigues me. the Bowie and Lynch references are blatantly aw2 Zane #but it’s so similar to diver Zane and the ‘originals’ death. being lost in the dark place with illusions of escape #and losing any sense of identity. whether he’s real at all or the monster of this sea or just a lost soul. #the soft and calm vocals / instrumental really makes the whole thing #NEED to stop typing more tags because this is a Lot. however. #‘no one left to love’ is also a phenomenal song and one of my favorites from the album. GORGEOUS vocals and how it all flows together. #such a powerful and beautiful way to end a chapter #anyway that’s all I had to say :) #god. I’ve started to watch a few playthroughs of the game and 90% of people have skipped the chapter songs and every time im #that’s fair but my brain and soul might implode if I don’t see anyone else talking about how good these songs are

Jackie realizing she’s gonna have to take care of shauna and jeff’s ghost baby

#🐇 #yellowjackets #truly it’s so interesting to me how much better this season is than the first that literally never happens for me #the current timeline is finally getting interesting. Jeff is still the best part #love how fast misty took to being a cult that is so her™️ #Jackie liking poppies is interesting to me both in the Jackie is gay camp and also you know the whole thing with wizard oz and her death #the ending was so fucking depressing I need a nap now #like I’m so happy they didn’t eat the baby that would have been so incredibly cheap but glad to finally have answers #like do we think shauna was dreaming or had she temporarily crossed over because like where was Jackie and the French dude #I’d say it would make sense that Lottie could be there somehow #idk it reminded me a lot of Jackie’s death of course so I have many questions #I will say the cop story line is pretty stupid like no fucking way is any of this legal and also let’s kill that creep cop shauna #I will help you girl I will drive the get away car #I was also like wondering awhile ago if Lottie’a camp is near where the plane crash was #and my best friend and I were like no there’s no way and then they tell us it’s in New York so like possibly close to the boarder? #I tried looking up cherry hill but I couldn’t find anything idk it’s probably totally unlikely and they just also happen to be in the woods #I didn’t get a preview for next week is there a preview? idk #my complaint this week is where is Jackie lmfao where is her ghost why wasn’t she in sex ed give me something I’m not ready to move on!!!!

I still find it so touching that when pressed for their honest opinion, the Powers That Be reveal that Daniil is their favorite protagonist. Two young children attempting to distract themselves from grief and the frightening reality of death, and their favorite is the man whose life ambition is to defeat it. 🥲

#they also play arguably the cruelest version of the game when he is the lead #perhaps he suffers the most because they’ve placed part of themselves in him. people are often cruelest to themselves #but I also view it through the lens of the struggle one faces when growing up #and how we attempt to make sense of the world through the stories we tell #with all of life’s cruelties and contradictions #see that theatre line ‘the law of gravity is tragically incompatible with dreamcatching. illusions have to be let go of in good time’ #vs. the children speaking of you as newly alive and affirming that anything can happen #it’s often tragic but not hopeless. after all you the player afford him a choice that he never gets on his own #sorry he’s rotating in my mind again so expect More Posts about him 🐎 #pathologic #daniil dankovsky #pathologic spoilers #🍓.txt

No story relevant spoilers but Diggers my beloved why are you just Manus Believer II???? You don’t even get a proper appearance other than a vauge silhouette of your head?????? Life is unfair

#also I’m slightly heartbroken that he’s joined the bad guys #but also it makes so much sense if you think about it #like canonically vertin has never met him #and since the story is more or less from vertin’s POV it makes sense why he’s NPC dude number 2 #lowkey hoping for him to show up again and for regulus to go ‘wait a minute’ #also that line about not wanting to math is so real #finally got him btw and might build him for my druvis team #reverse 1999 #reverse 1999 diggers

you've heard of the Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn as Benedick and Beatrice hc (or you should have)

Now, let me present to you David Tennant and Catherine Tate in the Philadelphia Story

#really dont like remakes and this was remade once #i dont really care if they do it as a play even #maybe they can work in songs from high society too that way dt will get to sing' #my take but dt will be perfect in any carry grant role #he would up the homosexuality by 90% but hey it’s time #also idk but for me the most attractive thing about Cary grant was his wit and like his line delivery (if that makes sense) #also he looks good in suits #so David would be perfect #Also dt and ct together in any screwball comedy would be perfect #They’ve already like perfected the chemistry and the comedic double act #They would kill it fr #screwball comedy #old hollywood #cary grant #katherine hepburn #the philadelphia story #david tennant #catherine tate #much ado about nothing #beatrice x benedick #shakespeare plays

LISTEN TO ME steph didn’t know anything about jason and no one told her anything about him except as a cautionary tale so for YEARS she was being compared to this dead kid that she never met and she KNEW that was the reason bruce didn’t trust her so when she died she was like “damn guess bruce was right :/“ then realized NO it’s NOT RIGHT because she was a kid and she wasn’t the one that made those plans so fuck bruce and his shitty treatment of her!!!! ANYWAYS jason is back and he’s STILLLL just a cautionary tale to her because she never gets to meet him?!??!?!? she comes back and he’s The Red Hood and she sees him as the robin that “went crazy” because she doesn’t know anything about him!!! all she knew was what she was told, which was that he was “reckless” and “got himself killed” and then he came back as a murderer so she couldn’t even know what he was actually like or how similar they were because the only similarities anyone ever told her about where the bad ones!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she has no first hand knowledge of who he actually is because she!!! never met him!!!!!!!! all she can know is what she’s heard from other people who refuse to actually talk about him!!!!

#YES i’m over interpreting a throwaway line from stephs ‘batfamily history’ story #what about it!!!! i love to twist words to fit my own narrative! #i’m having so many feelings right now #if this doesn’t make sense i’m sorry i’m typing this all on my phone i’m just hhhhhhhhhhhhh #jason todd #stephanie brown #dc

This just in: Yoko genuinely believes that John had a vision about a man on a flaming pie who told him the name of the Beatles.

“[John] wrote a piece called ‘On The Dubious Origins Of Beatles’, and the basic line that we all laughed at was something like “I had a vision and a man came unto me on a flaming pie and said ‘You shall be Beatles with an ‘a’, and so it was.” We took this to be Goon humour and a sort of Biblical joking – “and God said unto thee ‘come forth’, and he came fifth”. That’s very much the humour that was going around Liverpool at the time.

Now, it turned out that we couldn’t have this in the Anthology because Yoko believes that John did have a vision. I’m very friendly with Yoko now so I don’t want this to look like a snide thing, but it genuinely intrigues me that she thinks this. And the way I tried to put it to her was, you can say, “I had a vision” and people will go “OK”. You could say, “A man came unto me”. “OK, it’s starting to sound a little biblical, but it’s all right, still.” “On a flaming…”. “Yes, this is OK, it’s even more biblical”. Now, if you’d have gone to the word “chariot”, we would be all right. Or if you’d gone to the word “phoenix” we would be all right. But the word “pie” is a dead giveaway. “A man came to me on a flaming pie?” I know, in my mind, that John didn’t have a vision about this, but the way Yoko puts it is, “If it’s OK for Paul to dream ‘Yesterday’ then it’s OK for John to have a vision.” So these are the kind of things that cropped up. It’s only a difference of opinion so it doesn’t matter vastly. We’ve tried to make our point, she’s made her point and we’ve arrived somewhere in the middle.”

— Paul McCartney, Club Sandwich Interview, November 1st, 1995

#my quotes #this is both genuinely hilarious #and a little worrying #the mental image of paul trying to explain to yoko that john was telling a joke #and yoko just straight up refusing to understand #it's so funny #I feel like paul would lose his mind #and I kind of love that even though the story was left out of anthology he made sure it was never forgotten #by making it his album title #petty king #but also?? #yoko genuinely not being able to tell that john was joking concerns me #like girl that was your HUSBAND #did she just not get his sense of humor? #or is she just willfully reimagining him to fit with her artistic vision #also the line about yesterday is so nuts #you get the sense that she thinks paul is just making that up #or she just doesn't have any respect for his ability #or she is just being ridiculously petty #or she just genuinely believes that john had visions #but paul saying #it genuinely intrigues me that she thinks this #is so funny #paul mccartney #yoko ono #john lennon #the beatles #beatles #flaming pie

i don't know if i think it's really funny or kind of a shame that many people are going to know tadaima okaeri solely as "the omegaverse bl" when it's actually such a sweet slice-of-life about community, family, the struggles of the older generation to understand the younger and vice versa, recovering from social isolation and how recursive that recovery can be, forging lasting friendships as adults, and so on. it's so wholesome and drama-free that it barely has any plot to speak of, but what it lacks in plot it makes up for in themes and man. what beautiful themes

#since my recent reread i've been giving more thought to why i like it SO much #because on the surface it really is just fluff #and i love fluff! but usually require some substance to be completely invested in something #and hoooooo boy am i invested #and i think yeah it's the themes. the friendships the community the intergenerational family tensions that are resolved #in such a satisfying way to me #but yeah of course it is also the omegaverse bl lol #iirc my first read years back of only the first volume left me like ''awh that was super cute'' but it was not memorable #and that makes sense bc it's the community that takes shape in later volumes as the rest of the cast enter their lives #that really appeals to me #anyway! random thinky thoughts before bed #i'm already seeing some comments along the lines of ''this is so cute but why did it have to be omegaverse that's so weird and gross'' #''it could have just been normal'' #it's omegaverse because that's the story the author wanted to tell. you fools. you absolute buffoons #flashbacks to all the writing workshop critiques i've received that went something like #''this is really good but do they have to be gay. there's no reason they can't just be normal'' ah fun times :) <- sarcastic guy #goodniiight dashboard if you are for some reason still reading these tags here's a little surprise: #SUPER BOOP!!!!!!

I was thinking about a genuinely refreshing post I saw a few days ago, but it also got me thinking about something else that I always end up coming back to.

I feel like a lot of people believe (consciously or not) that the problem with punitive justice is that we could be mistaken about guilt. The idea that we should be identifying and punishing wrongdoers remains. And I also feel like even this is smaller than the broader underlying assumption that determining guilt from innocence is essential to moral judgment of human beings' responses to one another.

And yes, sometimes it is one essential part of a larger picture. But I think the fixation on guilt vs innocence obscures such basic nuance as "some things are not right to do to anyone, no matter what that person is like." Someone being guilty of wrongdoing does not justify any and all responses to that wrongdoing. You can be on the "right side" in a general sense and still behave unconscionably towards your opponents, and so can larger bodies like communities and states. Human rights should exist, actually!

This idea that someone can be genuinely guilty and it's still not morally tolerable to do anything you want to them seems very basic on paper. But I see arguments essentially assuming the opposite across a lot of different contexts and I always find it really disturbing.

#i was thinking about my game and then was like 'honestly that line of argument makes a lot more sense #if you assume that the real debate is rooted in 'anything we choose to do to our enemies is fine if they're the real wrongdoers' #and that got me thinking about other stories and interpretations and then just general rl debate #because it seems to me like 'did x do the thing' is not the end point #you've got to at least get to 'what is an appropriate response to x doing the thing' #with the understanding that some things are /never/ appropriate regardless of who did what #anghraine babbles #general fanwank #long post

hot take but I think a lot of current fantasy has lost the "what the heck" nonsensical vibes and that's why a lot of it is so bad

#people are so obsessed with 'being like tolkien' that they forget that a key part of fantasy #is the magic and wonder and inexplicable occurences #some things we need to accept on faith and move on #like you don't NEED to understand the mechanics of portals to other worlds or magic #or have a logical realistic fantasy realm #it's fantasy!! it's by definition UNREALISTIC and WEIRD and INEXPLICABLE #tolkien himself said something along the lines of 'if you explain how it works #it's not magic anymore' #(somewhere in on fairy stories I think) #but the point is that I actually could not care less about whether your fictional languages and histories etc etc #are realistic or sensible #if I wanted to read about a different culture or language or place I'd pick up a regular fiction novel #fantasy means that there's magic and things beyond our ken #lots of things will not and should not make sense #(logically. they should make sense in terms of fantasy) #(paraphrasing from sir terry here but it's unrealistic and nonsensical #for the third brother to succeed or for the sword to be pulled from the stone or for kindness and bravery to always win the day) #(but in a fantasy that is what makes sense; the illogical) #someday I'll write up my discord rant on modern fantasy as a true essay but it is not this day lol
