What is so wrong with the Rise of Red?
Tumblr media
mmmmmmmmm alot, its a clear cash grab, which hey its disney, it keep saying its a continuation from the main 3 movies yet its CLEARLY a soft reboot, it looks so cheap even though i know these fucks have some sort of budget to make it look good enough(the jewlrey, the designs in general, everthing looks plastic and fake unlike the main movies where the fakest thing was Ben's crown, i mean they made harry a REAL metal hook!!!! with little designs on it and everything!!), it just feels like it lacks the passion and effort the main 3 movie had, which even if d3 was a shit show-it FELT like lots of passion was put into it from all the actors and the set design and even just the little details of outfits and other stuff, rise of red jsut feels...cheap and theres some stuff that one of my actor friends(ifykyk) said about the casting stuff and other things that also soured the whole thing becuase they were awful and just-werent doing anything right.
it just feels like such an unessecary addition and i really wish they would just say ';'hey! this is a soft reboot!' and honestly THAT would make me complain less but they're trying to make it seem like its a direct continuation somehow even though Uma/china is the only returning cast and the plot feels lazy the costumes are lazy and the fact that they made it seem like dara renee was goign to be chloe at the annoucment thing last/two ish years ago and on the first insta post of it and then suddenly she wasnt chloe anymore and i feel like thats fucking weird as fuck becuase they instead casted a lighter skinned and skinner girl to play chloe and dara was recast/cast as Ursula's sister and im like....thats WEIRD
idk just from teh start d4 wasnt something the franchise needed, it ended with d3/the royal wedding, d3 was okay enough to be closure for the series and feels like an okay enough ending for the francise but they just keep milking it and milking it to the point where its just not fun anymore-rise of red doesnt look fun, we got no behind the scenes, not even from teh actors-unlike d3 where we got a WHOLE production for behind the scenes and just that alone makes me like d3 becuase it looked so fun to make! everyone had so much fun making it! and yet for rise of red-or pocketwatch as it was known-we didnt even know they finished/started filming until we got a random post saying it was a wrap??? like-no bts? no songs? no fun moments with the cast? no teasers?? nothing?????
idk i just-am not excited for this movie and i dont think im gonna watch it, maybe watch a few scenes on youtube and def listens to the songs and look at all the outfit designs, but im not interested in watching this shit show for...whenever it comes out, it just very much feels like not even the production was fun and if the production insnt fun, the movies not gonna be fun.

A Star Shines
Side Scene Five
---
(Kevrnus, age six, indentured servant)
Creature crushed back deeper into his hiding place. The people who had shown up were unlike anyone he’d ever seen at the manor before. Head cook Bluts, usually loud and angry, was cowering behind one of the other cooks as the leader of the intruders held a gun to them.
Creature’s heart was pounding so loudly it drowned out most other sounds. If Bluts was scared...
Crates of food were taken from their store room. Each time one of the thieves passed he begged they wouldn’t notice him. There hadn’t been time for him to find a proper hiding spot but so far he had stayed far from their attention.
It was ages before the leader put his gun away and turned to leave with the others. As he stepped close to Creature his dark eyes trailed over. A shudder went down his spine at the expression that overtook the man’s face. The sneer didn’t soften as the man leaned down to get a closer look at the now shaking child.
“Loathsome.”
The snarl made Creature flinch. He ducked his face into his hands as the man reached for him.
Was he going to hit him like the masters did? He’d tried to stay out of sight, he’d tried not to be seen! Creature choked on a sob as he came to the conclusion that he should have turned around so that his face was hidden. It was his fault the man had to look at his hideous features.
There was a small tug at his ankles. Then the chains of his shackles rattled around for a moment, a quiet clicking and-
The man tossed the shackles to the side. “Chainin’ a child. Wha kinda monsters chain a child.” A yelp slipped out as Creature was scooped up into the man’s arms. “‘S alright, yer not gonna be trapped anymore. I’ll care fer yeh.”
“Bu-but I-I have wor-work to do.”
“No ye don’t.”
And with that Creature was taken out the door.
He gasped in the fresh, crisp air desperately. It was never so easy to breathe in the unbearably hot kitchen. Brisk wind sent chills over his sweaty skin, the sensation completely foreign to Creature.
---
He had been placed in a room with a bed and a few cabinets. Was this where he was going to work from now on? The pirate man shook his head. “I tol’ ye, ye ain’t trapped no more, yer free. Gotta have th’doctor lookit ye and then ye’ll be good teh go where ye please aboard The Star.”
Creature blinked in surprise but the man was gone before he could ask any more questions. Free? And he could go anywhere? It was all too good to be real.
“Hello!”
Creature snapped his head up. In the doorway a young girl was poking her head in with a bright smile. He swallowed nervously. “He-hello...”
She somehow smiled wider, something he hadn’t thought possible, before trotting in and sitting herself right next to him. Instead of a dress she was wearing pants. That was odd; Creature was sure that ladies were expected to wear skirts instead.
As he stared she did the same. It took only moments for his face to start burning. No one usually looked at him for so long.
The girl giggled. “My name is Baesil, what’s yours?”
“The Creature.”
“That’s not a name!” Baesil insisted with a pout.
Creature squished his eyebrows together. That wasn’t a name? But it had to be, it was what he was called most often. “Oh...maybe Whelp? Or Leach? Brat?” It had to be one of these at least. Blutz called him them pretty often. “Maybe it’s Beast...?”
“You’re being mean.” Baesil crossed her arms. “Your name isn’t beast.”
He squirmed. “What’s my name then? Everyone calls me those, so one of them’s gotta be it.” This statement seemed to make Baesil incredibly upset. Creature jolted as she started wailing.
It wasn’t seconds before the captain burst into the room.
“I didn’t hurt her!” Creature yanked far away from the still crying girl and curled in on himself. Cabern went to Baesil without sparing him much attention. After a few moments of mumbling that changed.
Cabern looked upset as well. “Ye ain’t got yerself a name?”
“I...I thought I did...but Baesil says none of them are my name...if they aren’t my name then why were they what Head Cook called me? What are they?”
“Insults.” A new voice came from the doorway. An older girl was glaring at him with her arms firmly crossing her chest. Yet another girl was peeking out from behind her. “They were makin fun of ya cause ya look funny.” Creature flinched.
“Peverna!”
“He does!”
Cabern pursed his lips into a thin line. “There ain’t nothin wrong with his looks.”
“I ne’er said there was.” Peverna snapped out. “Just said he don’t look like other people. He’s got them red spots all over.”
Creature rubbed at the markings that covered his body. They were rough and dry, always itchy or burning depending on if they got wet, and unbearably hideous, so he’d been told.
Unlike everything else at his master’s manor, Creature wasn’t perfect and pretty and polished. No one was awed when they saw him. Most everyone recoiled at his face or touch. Masters would constantly be calling him diseased when they unfortunately had to see him.
He wasn’t sure why these people were reacting differently. Pity maybe?
The last girl crept closer. When she reached him she eyed him in a way that made him squirm. “You look like a Kevrnus!” She stated confidently.
“Uh...what’s a Kevrnus?”
“’S not a what,” Peverna snorted, “Kevrnus be a who.”
“A you apparently!” Baesil giggled.
Creature blinked at them. Had they just given him a real name?
Kevrnus...?
...Kevrnus.
For the first time, Kevr’s face split into a truly joyous smile. He loved the way his new name sounded. He loved the way these people didn’t flinch at his looks. He loved being allowed outside when he wanted.
And in time, he would learn to finally love himself as well.

Yeah my laptops os definitely has a personal vendetta against you and that is why i have been unable to use my graphic tablet for a couple months now
Funnily enough about 1 hour after sending that ask i encountered Another one of my kids in public transport on the way home and my first thought was that i mustve summoned him with the previous ask
Now
I CANT BELIEVE THERE IS LIKE AN ACTUAL BATHROOM SCENE™ i thought the fucking robin and steve bathroom floor scenes for the fic™ that was lead to the proper beginning of the undoing of my sanity were just like a fucking thing in that fic i didnt know they were A Thing™ goddamn
AND STOP TELLING ME INTRIGUING STUFF ABOUT THE DAMNED SHOW CAUSE I CAN ONLY POSTPONE WATCHING IT FOR SO LONG WITH MY SANITY IN SHAMBLES
Goddamn it kedreeva ive never even properly Encountered either hopper or dmitri but now i am Invested in them i curse you to continue thinking about them in those circumstances until YOU crack and end up making something about the fuckers
Also no worries about taking a bit to reply idm in teh slightest i just thought tumblr mightve eaten my ask cause it does that quite a bit but yeah im glad youre getting your shit done (unlike me whos currently writing this reply in an attempt to further postpone making a google forms for a fucking poll that was supposed to be done hours ago so that tomorrow it can be sent out cause i fucking need the results by monday at the latest- and NO this ISNT _That_ assignment thats about to make me fail that class this is a completely different very very urgent thing im ignoring gotta love the executive dysfunction)
*soft gasp* the bathroom scene is so good....
You must have seen gifs of it! I've reblogged a few!! I will make some gifs tomorrow, but please... imagine.... Steve and Robin have been drugged with something to loosen their tongues, Steve's been beat to hell (robin was hit once, for spitting in a Russian officer's face), they've both just gotten ill, and they're slouched on the filthy floor in separate stalls of a movie theater bathroom. And to check if the drug is still in their systems, they start asking each other questions, and Robin's question is: "Have you ever been in love?"
And Steve tells her yeah, with Nancy Wheeler. Robin scoffs, but then softly asks him if he's still in love with her, and he thinks about it a second, and then says no, and she asks why not, and he starts to tell her that he found someone better for him. Someone that makes him laugh, someone that he has fun with, someone he should have been friends with long before now and he doesn't know why he wasn't except that he was an asshole before, and cared about things that didn't matter. And the cinematography is showing Robin in the other stall with her head in her hands, and when she doesn't answer, Steve slides under the stall wall to join her in her stall and asks her what she thinks.
And Robin tells him the girl sounds amazing, and Steve looks her in the eyes as best he can with only 1 good eye at the moment, and tells her earnestly "she is." and she tells him but the boy isn't thinking clearly. Then!!!! She asks if he remembers when she told him about the class they shared, and he says yeah, because it was like an hour ago, and she tells him well, she was jealous of Steve because Tammy couldn't look away from Steve, and Robin wanted her to look at her.
And Steve, precious baby boy, tells her, but Tammy is a girl? And Robin says his name, so soft, like he's being an idiot because he is, and he gets it, and leans back, thinking, and Robin looks a little crushed but she stays, she waits, she prompts him for his thoughts, and he says, like, yeah, it's fine but you need better taste in women. and then they start loudly singing like muppets and that's when and how Dustin and Erica find them.
You HAVE to see this scene, but I think I actually like the interrogation room floor scene a LITTLE better because Steve's beat up, but they haven't been drugged yet, and Robin comes up with a plan to jump-walk the chairs they are bound to over to the torture devices table to get something to cut their ropes with, but they just. fall over. and Steve - who is beat to hell - hits the ground with a pained noise and the utter silence of someone fighting not to make more of them, and Robin's shoulders start shaking and they're bound back-to-back so he feels it and immediately pulls himself out of his pain to tell her "it's okay, it's okay, don't cry, robin." Except, she's laughing because she cannot believe THIS is how she's gonna die or that this is WHO she is gonna die with.
And then Robin's telling him she sat behind him for a year and he never noticed her, and that he was a dick in hs but she wanted what he had and he softly confesses it wasn't worth a goddamn thing, actually. He tells her he wishes he had known her back then, maybe he'd have passed the class and be on his way to college, and she tells him she'd have no idea there were evil russians and she'd be slinging ice cream with some other schmuck.
and he just
so softly
admits that he has liked being her schmuck.
"It was fun while it lasted," says the boy that just tried to reassure her they weren't going to die.
breaks my heart, Delightful.
Episode 3.06 and 3.07 if you wanna find them :)
Also if you need more answers to your poll, you can send a link in and I'll post it. I hope you're able to find the drive to do your other assignment, I am rooting for you!

Getting to Know Your BL Mutuals - Tag
rules: answer the questions and @ some people. include the tag ‘g2ky BL mutuals 2022’ on your post so we can find everyone’s answer.
tagged by @baby-droll thank you :) <3
(I am including everything I've watched in 2022, not just what was released this year.) What have been BLs that took you by surprise this year? Definitely KinnPorsche. I've never had so much fun watching something and I am so glad I got to experience it while it aired even if I only started watching after the 5th episode had aired. Since May my life has been entirely consumed by KinnPorsche and my life has been the better for it. Bad Buddy surprised me as well, it is so unlike other BL series I have seen and Ohm and Nanon are amazing actors. I watched it within the span of 24 hours and the last scene and line were so lighthearted and funny I didn't even feel sad. Never have I laughed so much even though something was over. The Eclipse took me by surprise with how openly political and critical of society it was. Last but not least I have to mention My Tooth Your Love, it might win an award for silliest title but the story itself is anything but silly. Both of the protagonists read as autistic to me - my favourite kind of character: unintentionally autistic. I couldn't adore them more. It is a true comfort watch and I continue to be surprised by the healthy communication and boundary setting displayed. More people should give it a try despite the silly title and odd premise. It is so much more and not at all a typical BL, though still typically Taiwanese. What have been BLs that you felt a bit disappointed with this year? The Eclipse to an extent. It kept getting better with every new episode until the last, I think, three episodes. How the curse related plot got wrapped up was very unsatisfying and clumsy, though they still did great with the relationship aspect. Similar goes for Minato Shouji Coin Laundry, it just was too long and I didn't care about any of the side couples and it got repetitive. I was also disappointed and wholly underwhelmed by the Korean BL series I've watched (Blueming, To My Star, Wish You). I've seen so much praise for the first two but they just weren't for me and I had a hard time caring for any of the characters. The acting felt very stiff and I found it difficult to make sense of the emotions they were supposed to feel when judging by their faces they seemed dead inside to me. What has been your favorite BL this year? KinnPorsche, no surprise there. Favorite BL couples (not just of 2022) This is hard and why they are my favourite is due to very different reasons. A lot of the time I care less about couples themselves and more about the story they help to tell. But some are also proper OTPs of mine for which the relationship is the main draw. - Pat/Pran - Akk/Ayan - Kinn/Porsche - Vegas/Pete - Kim/Chay - Teh/Oh-aew - Tutor/Fighter - Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian If you had to suggest a BL for someone what would it be? Regardless if someone is familiar with BL or not, my top pick would be I Told Sunset About You. Though I think it is barely BL compared to other series. Same goes for Gaya Sa Pelikula. What's your non-BL favorite this year? I have watched mainly BL and everything before KinnPorsche is hazy. I am having a hard time remembering other shows or movies I've seen this year and nothing I would call a favourite of mine, I think. Derry Girls S3 was disappointing, Skam Italia S5 was such a treat and I really liked it but it hasn't stayed with me that long after watching it.
@blventingspace @thiansong @supernovasimplicity @fanfictionroxs @mvickym @varis-world (But there are also several others where I am not sure how much BL they watch aside from KinnPorsche - tagging always makes me anxious.)

Describe them in three words. Now let them describe themself in three words.
Any of your OCs for this one.
cracks knuckles. elder scrolls time
ELLIE: i would say Righteous, Caring, and Paranoid. she would say Dangerous, Paranoid, and Scared. shes a girl who has been shaped by her life for worse but unlike herself i think she is still fundamentally someone who wants to and does do good even if she cant see it herself
RINA: Vengeful, Batshit, Hungry || Hot, Justice, Powerful. a girl who's need to get revenge on people who already faced justice, she just thinkss it wasnt enough. she think shes on teh right side of everything by bringing justice when people are too weak to give it, in reality she iss just someone who thinks the only correct way to go about things is revenge. she is right about the hot thing tho
BREAKS: Cunning, Careful, Dutiful || Weak, Lost, Headstrong. where breaks sees his failures of following gods that abandoned him and willingly walking into the arms of a deadric prince, others would see ssomeone who is more analytical and knowss when to jumpship. he thinks hes weak beacuse he cant protect his sister in the same way she can protect him (rogue vs paladin behavior) but others see him as the best older brother who protects her in ways that she wouldnt be able to, espionage and stealthy kind of style.

well, anyway. that with him was during the end of 2020. i then moved to another foster home (that was before rehab) in the big city that i would later end up hanging out in to get high. it was a home mixed with boys and girls. all between 16-25 years old, with mental illnesses and asylum experience. so i should've fit right at home, no? well, it was nice at first. there, the residents were treated like adults. you didn't need to give your phone to the office at night, there were no wifi times, i was allowed to have my smart tv in my room and everyone had their own personal keys. one for their room and one for the front door. and, unlike many others, they actually respected our privacy. a locked door was treated as such. they always waited until you opened the door yourself. the staff had keys though, but they only used them if you didn't answer, you know, for your safety. i was used to social workers who just came and went as they pleased. a lot of them who view a locked door as reason to be suspicious. usually it went like this: *knock knock* *don't wait for answer* *immediately open the door*.
i've never really felt safe in these homes. a lot of social workers seemed to think of me as a bad kid. the one that would corrupt the other kids, cause chaos. a lot of them constantly seemed to be trying to catch me doing something forbidden. rules were invented because of me, roommates became snitches to gain the good will of the caretakers who hated me..... i've always felt really misunderstood. these people, who were supposed to take care of me, viewed me as a problem child. a useless drug addict. a burden. the one to look out for. the one that would destroy the harmony and make all the good kids become junkie losers like me. one of my old fps,the one i was living with, once got really drunk, after i got kicked out. she was, like i already said, like a little sister to me. she was also really tiny and had zero tolerance. she fell over multiple times during that evening so naturally i walked her home, to make sure nothing happened to her. one of the caretakers saw me from the window as i was dropping her off and made my friend then take a breatherlyzer, a drug test, and then told her she wasn't allowed to see me anymore. nice, right? well whatever. this group home, teh third one, seemed to be perfect. it was in a big city, i got a lot more pocket money, i had a key so therefore i could come and go as i pleased as long as i stayed quiet. it seemed like heaven.

Meeting de Avanve for Leni-Kiko!! Sobrang solid!! HSABSHAHA I CAN’T EVEN EXPLAIN HOW HAPPY I AM. NOONG UNA I WAS UNDECIDED KUNG TUTULOY BA AKO O HINDI. I really want to go. Kaso wala akong kasama noong una, inaaya ko si jaja kahit pareho naming hindi alam HAHAHA but sadly, hindi siya pwede kasi hindi papayagan at walang money. But, when I asked sua kung saan ‘yon kasi I was thinking na isama na lang si Lloyd, he said na he didn’t know too and he (they) are going too nila Kurt, Sean, friend ni Sean, Alberto, Andrei, etc. So he asked me if sinong kasama ko, when I said na wala he asked me again if I want to come, at first I was really hesitant kasi I feel like mao-op ako especially na hindi pa kami ulit close ni kurt unlike before but I really want to go. So I asked Lloyd first, na samahan niya ako but he said na may ibang lakad siya. I am really desperate to go so kahit feeling ko na mao-op ako kila Sua, I said na sige sasama ako. Noong nagkita-kita kami sa 7/eleven, nakita ko yung isang kasama nila na girl, she looks kind and goofy. At first, I’m shy. I am really shy to talk to one of them, I don’t know what to said but I am really trying my best to open up a conversation with them kasi ilang oras ko ba naman sila makakasama e. After mag intayan, pumunta kami kila Lloyd, I am kilig and glad kasi her mama remembers me and even greeted me saying “Hello, thea!” with a wide smile in her face so I replied na “Hi po, good afternoon po” then lumapit ako tapos nag bless. When she saw me, she said na pumasok muna kami at umakyat kasi mainit sa labas so we go sa loob ng bahay nila tapos sa taas nakikain sila. After non, deretso na sana kami sa ayala, makati but kakababa lang namin ng tric as in saktong kabababa lang, some1 in a fortuner stopped sa tapat namin asking if Leni kami and if we are going doon sa rally, we said na yes po pero may pupuntahan/kikitain pa kaming isang kasama namin but he insisted na sumabay na kami and puntahan na lang namin yung kasama namin sa sm so we all agreed. We are so glad and at the same time in shock kasi we didn’t expect na may mag mamabuting loob na isabay kami papunta hahaha. God bless you po. After we arrived, sobrang init at the same time daming tao pero syempre we already expected that. Sobrang babait ng mga tao, may namimigay ng mga free water kahit saan ka pumunta kaya talagang hindi ka mauuhaw kahit gaano pa kahaba lakarin mo, free foods like burger sa mcdo teh!!!, free pizza per box binibigay pero syempre kukuha ka lang don tapos ipapasa mo na rin sa iba para yung mga gusto kukuha lang, free cookies, pamaypay, stickers and many many mooooreeee!! grabe sobrang solid and at the same time sobrang saya, it was my first time pero sobrang memorable and I am glad that I made a scary decision again sa life ko pero maganda yung naging outcome. I feel at peace, I can feel myself again, I feel like nakayanan kong lumabas sa comfort zone ko, I feel free, I, I feel happy and blessed. For the first time in my life, nafeel ko ulit na I can go with other people even if wala doon yung mga nakasanayan ko, I feel at ease. I feel like I go alone pala. Wala, I don’t know how to really explain it, all I know is that I am just so happy. Noong mga nag 6pm-8pm I am already tired and so exhausted. I don’t care anymore kung anong lagay ko, all I know is that I want to sit and I’m hungry so natahimik ako.  It’s actually funny kasi kung saan-saan na lang ako umuupo o kahit sa sahig pa nga mismo sa gitna nang napakaraming tao HAHAHHA and it’s cute kasi noong nakaupo ako sa gitna ng crowded na tao, yung mga kasama ko didn’t let other people na mahurt ako like masanggi, masipa or even mainitan and it melts my heart. Si Kristal, nasa unahan ko siya and when she saw me na nakaupo sa likod niya and madami dumadaan, she raised her arm sa gilid ko to protect me sa mga dumadaan and para hindi ako masanggi, while si Sua and Sean, pinapaypayan ako when they saw na naiinitan ako. Si Alberto na hindi ko naman close pero he’s asking me noon kung okay ka lang when he saw me looking at him.  And that’s when I feel comfortable sa kanila, I feel protected. Small gestures lang pero for me, it means a lot. Hanggang sa makauwi, si Sean kakulitan ko, tawa kami nang tawa sa kung ano-anong mapag-usapan namin. I feel like I’ve known them for too long so I became goofy. Hindi na ako nahiya. I feel really really comfortable. I feel safe. I can be with myself. I feel really happy. I am finally slowly becoming happy.. again.

ok i think kotaro puling ai from the group is a good thing. a lot of people probably noticed this and said he did it because the girls were overly dependent on Ai during their idol career, which is true. The Franchouchou girls rely on Ai to get a lot of things done. After all, she has the experience of being the center of an idol group, the queen of idol groups, Iron Frill. It’s only normal that they rely on her. Maybe too much. 
But, I think he pulled Ai out of the performance for a different reason. I think he did it so that the rest fo the girls of Franchouchou can develop as their own kind of group. Kind of in a way to get the girls to develop their own flavor/ color as an idol group. 
Ai knows what to do to appeal as a top star idol, but the goal of Franchouchou isn’t to be top star idols (like Iron Frill). It’s to 1) appeal/ save saga and 2) bring out each of the girls own potential (mainly with Sakura) and 3) get revenge on all the people who thought they were flops by proving that they can be successful in their own right.
The girls are super afraid of their opening act at the Iron Frill concert being a bust, and they’re right. If the girls perform with Ai, and they perfect their performance under her guidance, it might look as if Franchouchou is a wannabe Iron Frill. Ai will guide them like she did her former group members, that’s what she knows. but if they do this it’ll only bring Franchouchou down because the OG Iron Frill will preform after them, giving the audience something to compare the girls too. (Esp. since everyone keeps on comparing Ai to the legendary dead idol Mizuno Ai). 
So, Kotaro did the easiest thing. Remove Ai. If the girls preform (or practice preforming) without Ai and her guidance as a former Iron Frill member, then they’ll be given a chance to create their own appeal that unique to them and will draw out their own fans. No one will be able to compare them to Iron Frill or even say that Franchouchou wants to be like them. 
TDLR: Kotaro separated the Ai and the group so that they can develop their own strengths independent of one another. This way Franchouchou can develop as its own group whose appeal is drastically different from its competitors. He didn’t remove Ai because she might be recognized, he removed Ai so that no one can compare Iron Frill to Franchouchou.

Do you think sherlock went to boarding school such as Eton or Harrow and the likes? The show confirmed he is posh and there are a lot of hints he went to cambridge for uni. I wonder if he also went to boarding school.
Probably?
As far as I can remember, we get two references to Sherlock and Mycroft's schooling. From TEH:
SHERLOCK: I used to think I was an idiot.
MYCROFT: Both of us thought you were an idiot, Sherlock. We had nothing else to go on ’til we met other children.
SHERLOCK: Oh, yes. That was a mistake.
MYCROFT: Ghastly. What were they thinking of?
SHERLOCK: Probably something about trying to make friends.
MYCROFT: Oh yes. Friends.
So, this suggests that Sherlock and Mycroft's early education was not in a school setting but at home. Either private tutors, or perhaps their parents taught them. In HLV, Sherlock's father indicates that his mother gave up her career "for the children", so maybe she took charge of their schooling. Then at some point, they "met other children." This doesn't necessarily mean a formal school setting, but in TFP we get this:
JOHN: He said, “The truth is rarely pure, and never simple.” It’s from ‘The Importance of Being Earnest.’ We did it in school.
(Sherlock quirks a lopsided grin.)
MYCROFT (nodding very slightly): So did we. Now I recall. I was Lady Bracknell.
Which indicates that Mycroft, at least, did eventually go to school, and likely so did Sherlock. And if Mycroft was playing a woman's role, that strongly suggests it was they went to all-boys schools. Wikipedia tells me that currently only Eton, Harrow, and Radley are boys-only, though a few other schools started taking girls recently enough that they would have been all-boys in Sherlock and Mycroft's school days.
Of course, this isn't a guarantee. Mycroft could have done the Wilde play at university, and maybe they did cross-gender casting just for funsies. Or maybe they went to a religious school, as unlikely as that sounds. But I think it's safe to say that Moftiss probably had something like Eton and Harrow in mind for the Holmes boys' secondary schooling.
Thank you for the question!

Back again with the request of the brothers and undateables reaction to MC drunk texting them that they love, Love them ❤️
Oh thank you so much for resending this! I'm sorry about the mishap before. I hope you'll enjoy these~ Since you didn't specify, these are written from the perspective that MC and the boys are in a relationship when they text the boys.
Also, I decided to split these up into two posts so this one will only have the Brothers in it, but I will put up a post for the Undateables real soon!
~
Lucifer:
The man sighed at his desk, signing what felt like the thousandth paper that night. It was only 1am so the night was still young; he knew he'd be at this till morning only to have to go through his duties tomorrow without rest. It was not unusual for him, but the oldest brother was still feeling a bit burnt out.
Ding.
He paused for a moment before setting his pen down and picking up his phone from the corner of the desk.
'Daaaddy. Mammnk dispered'
Ignoring the name they gave him, the man just stared down at the text. He gave another big sigh.
'MC, where are you?'
'I djnno. I went tk a party with Mammm and Asmo and thyy jsyt went poooff.'
God, his brothers were idiots. What if something happens to MC while they're off doing whatever?
'I'll track your phone then. I'll be there soon'
'Nuuu. I jsut wanna get my phone bacc from Mamsmm'
Oh dear Diavolo...
'Love, you're texting me off your phone.'
'Ooo. Yur rite!'
'I am coming to get you now.'
'Okaaaa bye Daddynm. Love yuo.'
The man rolled his eyes, but smile slightly down at the screen. What was he going to with his Love?
Mammon:
Shit! Where'd they go?! He took MC with him to the casino to help distract the other gamblers as he played cards-- hey don't judge!! He promised to buy them a few drinks afterwards. So there they were, sittin' and drink together when this guy he owes money to starts running up and yelling at him! Of course Mammon had to bail! He told MC to run with him but at one point he turned around and the human wasn't there! He's been rushing around and searching for them for the last twenty minutes. Where did they go??
Bing. His phone went off. The moron facepalmed. He has his phone! He should have been calling them or something.
'Baaaabbby. Im loneyl.'
'Oi! Where'd you go? I told you to follow me!'
'But I waz tlkin to thhe fnny man! He evn boght more deinks.'
Shit. They're still back at the bar. But with him of all people??
'Babe, why ya drinking with that jerk??'
'Im not. Hss wife cam e adn got him.'
Wife? Oh thank Diavolo, Belinda came through for him!
'Stay put, got that? I'm heading back now.'
'Kk I love yuo babbny 😘'
Mammon blushed as he read that last message.
'Ya, ya, just stay put, human.'
Leviathan:
Okay so Levi himself is not really a drinker in most circumstances. He pretty much sees it as another thing normies do and use as an excuse to spend time with other normies. Like, why would he care about something so stupid anyway?
Still, that doesn't mean there aren't exceptions to that kind of thing. Like the new bottle he won from a contest run by the creators of the anime I Partied So Hard That I Ripped Opened The Frabric of Reality And Was Met By My Future Wife Who Is Secretly A Cat Girl From Venus! I mean, it's seriously cool! It's the same brand of Venustian wine that Nyanitia loves in the anime!
Levi was so excited when it arrived that he practically begged MC to come to his room to drink it with him as he played his new video game from Akuzon. Honestly it didn't end up like he thought it would though. The wine barely did anything to him at all. I mean, yeah, the third brother didn't have a lot of experience with alcohol but he thought he would at least feel a little different than normal. Eh, whatever. The effect is kinda lame but it's still from the anime! If it's good enough for Nyanitia then it's good enough for him.
The demon shrugged it off and got absorbed in his video game to the point where he even stopped talking to MC, which wasn't unusual. After dying a couple times, he threw his controller down.
"Uggghh, can you believe that MC--"
The boy just noticed that he was alone. Oh... was he really that boring to hangout with? The Avatar of Envy started mumbling a lot of insults to himself as he picked up the bottle.
"Was my gaming that bad? Or was it the wine?" He mused sadly. "No, I bet it was the wine. It barely did anything to me so I doubt it effected them either...."
He starts reading the label on the back, skimming till he reads a section on alcohol level. Level for demons: mild.
"That explains it..." He grumbled, continuing to read in his head.
Level for Angels: low medium. Level for Humans: HIGH. WARNING. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF HUMANS.
Oh...oh no. What's gonna happen to his Henry?? Are they gonna die?? Is Lucifer gonna kill him??? GAH! Where did they go--
Beep. His phone!
'Leeevvvvvi. I fels wooozy.'
Panicking, the boy typed back.
'Where are you??? Are you dying???'
'Nuuuu. I'm jsyt wwwoooosh.'
Gah! What does that even mean?? Before the demon could respond, he got another message.
'Leeeevvvvi chan I lvoe you~.'
The boy's face and ears blazed red. I mean, yeah, it's not the first time he's heard/read them say that but still! Now isn't the time for this!
Another message.
'Sweeeeetue. Coem love me 😢'
The demon let out a panicked yell and charged out his door. His foot collided with something and he heard a whine.
"Sweeeeetie why?" MC laid on the floor of the hallway, pouting and looking more hurt emotionally than physically.
Still panicking, Levi picked up the human and brought them back into his room. He laid them in his bathtub and start researching the affects of Venustian wine on humans.
Boy nearly collapsed from relief and exhaustion when he found out they only had a sip and shouldn't have any health issues from it.
Ends up apologizing a million times over and becomes extra protective of them for the next couple weeks and is paranoid about every food and drink placed in front of them.
Satan:
It was an average evening for him. He was in his room, reading in bed as he waited for MC to come home. Asmo managed to convince them to go to a party with him. Satan didn't really want them to go tonight, but he saw their eyes light up with just the idea of it and the blonde couldn't bring himself to say a thing. Like him, MC didn't really have any experience with parties prior to this, but unlike him, they had a great interest in them. How could he ask them not to go if this was an experience they had wanted for a long time?
Ding.
The man laid his book down next to him and reached for his phone that he laid on the closest stack of books.
'Satn, peple are sk mean 😥'
The demon launched into a sitting position.
'Who needs to die?' He texted back, protective instincts springing up inside himself for them.
'Nno. Teh people here just amke me feel so lft out.'
He sighed. MC was too sensitive for that kind of environment.
'Kitten, tell Asmo to take you home now.' Satan texted before adding 'Tell him I said so.'
'Btu hes tlkin to a succubus'
'I don't care. Tell him what I said.'
'Okaa 😔'
The demon waited a few minutes, but didn't get a new message.
'Kitten?' He texted them.
Minutes when by. Nothing. The blonde got out of bed and started pacing. When that didn't help, he started to transform from the anger at his brother. He decided to text Asmo.
'Bring them home now or so help me, you will face a different type of hell when you get back.'
No reply from his brother either. The Avatar of Wrath was ready to start breaking shit.
Ding. He quickly checked his phone. It was MC.
'Bb I love you.'
The blonde stopped in his tracks. Why--after over 20 minutes of waiting-- was that their only response?
The demon reached out for his door knob, ready to go out and hunt for them, when his door swung open, revealing his brother, who was holding up an intoxicated MC.
"Ugh, you ruined my night!" The fifth brother complained.
Satan, still in his demon form, was ready to deck the other man at best and at worst, who knows. He didn't get the chance to find out because instead, MC tumbled forward and into his arms.
"Satan," They whined. "I wanna.... I wanna lay down."
The blonde took a deep breath before looking to his brother.
"Just leave. Now." He slammed the door closed on the other demon before laying MC down in bed and joining them. He pulled the blanket over them both and held his Kitten close to his chest.
"I should have...stayed home." They mumbled.
He kissed their forehead.
"It's fine. You're fine now, Kitten."
Asmodeus:
After a long, but fun night at The Fall, the Avatar of Lust had his fill was ready to get his beauty sleep. Sadly, he had lost track of his Doll. Oh dear, where could they be? Despite being so late, there were still plenty of people out and he was having trouble tracking them down.
Beep. The demon checked his phone.
'Azzy, I lvoe you🥰'
Asmo giggled, texting back.
'Aww! I love you too! Now where did you run off to? I miss my Dolly~.'
'By eth bahroons'
The man headed off that way and found MC on the floor in the hallway that led to the bathroom.
"Well, what are you doing down there?" He teased.
MC started giggling.
"I fell."
Seeing that they weren't hurt, the demon simply bent over and helped them up. The human instantly leaned against him and hugged him close.
"I love you, Azzy." They told him, closing their eyes as they enjoy the embrace and pressing their cheek against his.
Asmo let out a small laugh then pulled back just enough to kiss his Doll on their cheek.
"Oh you're just too adorable, you know that?" He told them before leading them to the front of the building. "Now let's go home, okay?"
Beelzebub:
Beel woke up for a midnight snack and headed to the kitchen. It was a quick in and out thing, not wanting to be caught by his brothers. He grabbed a whole cabinet full of snacks and carried them back to his room.
Ding. His phone went off and as he opened the door to his room.
The demon laid his snacks on his bed and got in before grabbing his phone off the nightstand.
'Beeesly, I love oyu~'
The redhead smiled happily. It was MC.
'I love you too. When are you coming home?'
No response. The demon simply opened up a bag of chips and started eating. It's fine; he can be patient.
Instead of getting a response however, he was greeted by his Muffin at door.
"I'm baaack~." The human giggled, stumbling just slightly as they walked up to the bed and flopped down before snuggling up to the big demon.
Beel kissed the top of their head, smiling at them.
"Did you have fun with Solomon, Muffin?"
"Mhmm." They said, closing their eyes and stretching out their legs, causing some of the snacks to fall to the floor. He didn't mind.
"That's good." He sat the chip bag on the stand so he could use both hands to hold them close.
The two of them laid there, cuddled up together. The big demon stroked their hair till they heard the human's breath slow and were asleep.
"G'night, Muffin." He whispered. "Dream sweetly."
Belphegor:
It was the middle of the night and Belphie was asleep. That might sound normal for the Avatar of Sloth to you, but in actuality, this was unusual for him. The sleepy boy slept so much during the day that he was usually awake starting from whenever he woke up from his after-dinner nap up until around 4 or 5 am.
Tonight, however, Belphie really wasn't feeling it. Ya know, the whole 'awake' thing. He didn't feel like being conscious. The same reason he didn't wanna be awake was the same reason why he wasn't sleeping very deeply either.; MC wasn't there with him.
That scum Mammon took them out somewhere and they didn't even tell him. He had to hear it from Beel. The 7th brother has been grumpy since then and didn't wanna do anything so he hid away in his attic and fell asleep.
Bing. Bing. Bing.
The demon let out a frustrated sigh. That was the 9th text he got in the last two minutes. He picked up his phone from the other side of the bed and begrudgingly read his messages.
'Belpphi'
'Beelphi
'Belphii'
'Babb'
'Babe'
'Babr'
'Beeelpie'
'Heeyy'
'Mr Moomooo man pay atttention ot me 😢'
"Mr. Moomoo man?" Belphie said out loud, scowling down at the screen. If he wasn't mad at MC, he would have cracked a smile.
'What's wrong with you?' He texted.
'Mammmn lfet me all alone 😔'
Belphie eyes went wide.
'What happened?'
'Mammo owes mnoey to this big Moloc guy and eh chased Maaamkn away.'
Ugh. Mammon's a dumbass.
'Where are you?'
'I dunno. He lefy me on a bench. Teh park?'
'The one by the school?'
'Mmaybe?'
The demon let out another big sigh.
'I'll be there soon. Don't move.'
'Okyy'
A couple seconds later, they sent another text.
'I love yuo, bb. Im srry 😔'
Belphie frowned. His anger at them was dissipating.
'Yeah, I love you too, butthead. Now stay there.'

marvel is great and all, but I feel like we really missed out on nebulas as a character. her whole schtick is trying to please thanos which is fine, but I also think it’s more the fact that she doesn’t really know who she is. This isn’t in a #selfdiscovery way but in the systematic process of literally replacing her with parts, taking away the pieces of her and afixing others expectations to her (or parts). She was the first to be trained and used in mission, but unlike gamora, was too young to remember anything different. Nebula never talks about her homeland or her parents, which leads me to believe she doesn’t remember them. The only life she’s ever known is thanos. When gamora comes along, she’s not only loses the only “father” she’s ever had, but her child brain links gamora to the start of her torture and replacement. Gamora is permanently linked to the pain that Nebula felt every time a part of her was ripped and replaced so she could be a better fighter. Even with all the advantage of the tech, she still loses. (And the tech itself is to control her, something we see in endgame as thanos uses her chip to track and learn about the plan). Nebula isn’t just a girl with daddy issues, she a person who has never been taken as is, always told she needs to fix something and to be better. No one is ever satisfied with what she does, which is why the scene with her and Tony playing table top football is so touching. Its the first time she not only won, but has made someone proud. In GOTG 1&2, Gamora is always asking why they fight, but what she doesn’t understand is that even by saying that, she is still ignoring and invalidating Nebula. Now I know this sounds very anti Gamora, but a lot of Nebulas trauma also stems from Gamora herself. When we see them interact, it mainly when their fighting. They were both trying to survive, but Gamora never showed her kindness or respect. Nebula was always an enemy, something to use to her advantage. Gamora is Thanos favorite, and it’s for the reason that Gamora knows who she is. She is strong and a great fighter yes, but it’s because she is naturally a good leader,strong willed and smart. All of these things weren’t implanted or trained into her (other than teh fighting). Nebula can never live up to Thanos expectations because he sees her as a failed project (This is why Nebula and Rocket are as close as we see them. Not only were they tortured and mangled in similar ways, but rocket also sees himself as a failed science experiment, something that shouldn’t exist). In the most ironic way, in trying to improve nebula, he has ruined any chance of her being anything like he wanted. He trained her to be obedient and to be a follower, only realizing later that those qualities aren’t what make a good fighter. Nebula in GOTG2 is seen “being her own person” but even then it’s a lie. Her vow of revenge is still the teachings of thanos, even if it is aimed at him. She is still trying to live up to Gamora who damn near does the same thing in endgame. Even when she’s not trying to kill Thanos, she’s a follower just as she was trained to be only this time she follows Gamora. As marvel develops and we see (hopefully) more of Nebula, we need to see her develop her own person hood. We should see her try to live up to herself or at least make her own choices. Give this girl something other than sidekick or revenge.

Having to deal with a de-aged s/o... (No. 2)
A/N: Hey guys... I know I haven’t been active on here for over a month now and I’m really, really sorry, but I had a really hard time in my life lately and even though that’s not over yet and surely won’t be for another while I felt so guilty for not uploading anything on here that I decided to at least try to manage to get back to updating somewhat regular and finally get around to answering the many requests in my imbox. For now I decided to make a part two to this because it was one of the few ideas that actually sparked some inspiration in me. I’m really sorry for the rant and I hope you can understand my situation. And now: have fun with some of our best girls ;)
No. 1
Ochaco Uraraka
Tumblr media
The day you almost flew away
rip
nah it wasn’t so bad
But first things first
same scenario as last time
You’ve been de-aged by someone and Uraraka has teh option between either taking care of you for a day or you’ll be brought to to your parents or a teacher or something
Best girl doesn’t even hesitate before she says yes 
She loves you so much and you look so so so so cute as a baby!!!!
Heart eyes personified
The only problem is she didn’t really think it trough
The first time Aizawa hands baby you to her she is so excited that she loses control of her quirk and let’s just say it’s a good thing Aizawa had his capture weapon with him, because otherwise
well
you’d be space dust
After that she tries to be more careful
BUT YOU’RE JSUT SO CUTE AND CUDDLY AND THE WAY YOU LOOK AT HER WITH YOU PUPPY EYES!!!
After the third time you almost floated away Momo finally has enough and makes one of these baby leashes for you
So class is spend with 25% learning and 75% percent oggeling at you floating and having the time of your baby life
The class loves you (except for the usual suspect Bakugo)
during lunch-break Uraraka proudly shows you around and the Dekusquad has the time of their life spoiling the shit out of you and getting you to giggle and laugh
After school she decides to take you out in the park and let’s just say getting you out of the tree your leash got caught up in was lesson enough to not let you flaot outside...
but still the two of you have the times of your lifes and she is so in awe with how cute and innocent and amazing you are as a baby
She’d definitly try to make you say her name just so that she could say your first word was her name, but that doesn’t really work out
One time she thinks you’ll finally do it, but instead you just burb making everyone laugh like mad man
at first uraraka is sad but soon she’ll join in
When it’s time to turn in she’ll definitly cuddle with you only to accidentally make you float when she’s already half asleep so she doesn’t release you
Wakes up to grown-up you poking her with the curtain rod
After that she sometimes starts talking about how nice it would be to have an actual mini you running around someday when both of you are grown-up and actual pro-heros...
Momo Yaoyorozu
Tumblr media
THIS BEST GIRL WILL BE PREPARED!!!
She takes most things seariously and this is not different
She’ll most definitly accept taking care of you as a challege 
It’s not completely unlikely that when she’s finally a pro-hero that she could be in a situation were she has to know how to handle a baby or toddler
So expect to be seen as a training
but at the same time you’ll be spoilt as hell because she wants to make sure you’ll be the happiest damn baby there ever was
she’ll make one of these baby stap carriages and strap you to her chest
she melts a little bit at the sight of you clutching her top and cuddling closer to her
she’ll make all sorts of toys and baby stuff for you
Everything to be prepared
you start to sniffle?
There, now you have an amazing stuffy and a pacifier 
You seem to become restless and hungry?
Your baby-appropriat food will be ready and perfectly temperated in about a minute.
You do what babies usually do since they’re not adults?
Momo is prepared with Diapers and baby powder and stuff like that
She manages to keep you entertained and silent during class and honestly there’s little difference between this and how class usually is
(Also she’s one of the few who actually keeps in mind that you will be turned back soon and makes notes and everything so that she can explain everything they learned in class to you the next day)
During lunch-break she’ll take you out of your strap-thing and let’s you play with everyone in class she deems safe (that includes everyone except specifically Bakugo, Mineta and Denki, because she wouldn’t hold it above him that he’d accidentally shock you... We don’t have to talk about why Mineta and Bakugo are on that list...)
Denki will try the rest of the day to get to hold you tho and he will end up getting tied to a chair
After school she’ll too take you to her room and play some interlectually stimulating games and have you listen to some mozart
like she knows that there most likely won’t be any short-time effect, but you never know
also, don’t you dare tell anyone, but she has a guilty pleasure in dressing you up in cute little costumes that she made
like a cat-costume, or a little princess, or a little bee...
may or may not make pictures of you in a pg-mini-version of you in her costume that she’ll make her phone background.... who knows
When you become tired and she has to put you to bed she’ll actually dress you in very, very, very baggy clothes so that you won’t rip apart the baby clothes when you grow big again
She now definitly has a different view on taking care of children, she wouldn’t pass up on another opportunity to do so, but that has a lot of time to actually happen
Mina Ashido
Tumblr media
THIS BEST ALIEN GIRL IS SO AMAZED 
Like Uraraka she is definitly in awe with how cute and little and baby-like you are
She does have some minor worries tho
She definitly wants to take care of you, but she’s a little bit afraid that you’ll get hurt by her acid
But when you giggle and laugh and try to grap for her as soon as Aizawa presents you to her she’s made her decision to risk it
If anything happens, if you even get the smallest cut or burn, you will be brought to recovery girl 
but spoiler alert! nothing happenes 
Before we get to the usual scenarios, let me just make a few things clear
Mina loves having you sit on her head, holding yourself up by her horns, she’ll definitly tickle you until you’re giggleing like a mad baby and, seeing as even Bakugo won’t hurt a baby (at least not until it really fucked up), she’ll se the rare possibility to prank him and use you as a protection
Bakugo will be seething until you’re turned back and he can have his revenge on her
so back to topic
She’ll probably be the one to just straight up go to Aizawa and ask if she can skip out on the day to take care of you and she’ll definitly teach you how to be a noisy annoying little baby beforehand so that Aizawa will have the choice between not having her and you in class or having a noisy little baby in class
he choses the first option
Mina will thank him, leave the room and you’ll immeditaly stop whining and start giggling
the rest of the time the others are in school will be spend with you on her head and her walking through the city with you
she’ll probably go shopping with you 
in as, she sits you down on a chair in front of the changing rooms and shows you different outfits
the ones that you clap and giggle at get bought the one you’re uninterested in get put back
when it’s time for school to end she’ll go back to the dorms and guilt trip Bakugo into making food for you (and her, but don’t tell bakugo that) 
He swears, he’ll bomb that alien girl away as soon as you’re grown up again
Also you know how people sometimes throw babies up into the air and catch them again sometimes?
Well, Mina has to go for pretty aliens and leaves you in the...good?... care of Denki, Ejiro, Hanta and Bakugo
it takes exactly 4.6 seconds after she left for Denki, Ejiro and Hanta to play Ball with you
In as you are the ball
and they are throwing you from one to the next
Sure, you might love it and have the time of your life, but Bakugo - who somehow finds himself as the most responsible one in a twist of faite - is going up the walls trying to get you without you getting hurt
When Mina get’s back Denki, Ejiro and Hanta are laying on the floor with charred clothes, while Bakugo is holding you like you’re a bomb threatening to explode every second now (how ironic considering who the explody boy is, right?)
He’ll just thrust you into Minas hand and stomp away
After that Mina will take you into her room and get you ready for bed
When you wake up the next day, you’ll definitly remember having to thank Bakugo, but that could become hard when you consider that he’ll be hunting after your girlfriend...
A/N: Who would you like to see next? I’m having some ideas...or would you like something entirely else?

Harley Quinn anon here; It's seems they were both targeting both the writer and the bi person around the same time the whole 'Ivy is a lesbian' discourse started, it just happens the bi person was at the wrong place at the wrong time. It just one of those thing that got blown out of proportion (as always on the internet). I guess the people angry at the writer maybe got too involved with the DC alternate universe comic DC Bombshells where they made a few characters lesbian instead of their current canon sexuality? (I'm trying to figure out why a bi character existing isn't the right type of 'gay' for some so called fans) I do agree with you on the Winn side of things In regards to the Supercorp thing; The other shows made by CW are absolutely terrible at writing romances for both het couples and lgbt couples (Riverdale). And in general their overall storytelling is rushed and rarely consistent with with their characters (*coughs* Kara being capable of kicking her cousin's arse *coughs*). So as much as I love Supercorp, I know the CW would just make it shit as the show is now (thank god for fanfics) Lar Gand aka Mon El and tv Mon El aren't the same person in a lot of ways. Same with Maggie Sawyer; in the comics she's a divorced lesbian with a kid. They've kept some of his hot headedness but really, as someone commented on the previous ask, he is Superman's Dick Grayson.... up until the rebirth canon... they did the Legions real dirty including my boy Lar Hell even in the recent comic canon (not rebirth) on Prime Earth Lena Luthor is a decent person (she hasn't committed crimes unlike her alt earth), though I think she has cancer or something? I'll double check that Anyway, I guess I'm just annoyed about the petty bullshit and just how the CW has handled all of their DC content. It's an unnecessary shit show during a pandemic :/
We love cancel culture... It's beautiful, how people take htings out of context and blow thing out of proportion to hate on the others and even don't give them space to learn things or dunno, change their minds or simply having different opinion that still can be correct.
I remember the Bombshells and them making some version of Kara lesbian and dating Lois and that was used as a proof sc endgame. That were the easy years.
I don't watch other shows, so I don't know. Sometimes i see Avalance on my dash and most people are happy about them, but some complain. You can't make everyone happy, I guess. But I have zero knwoledge about other CW shows (minus SPN, LOOOL)
But you know, CW in general sucks in the shipping and couples department. Is there a show that made them right?
As for the storytelling, especially in SG, I blame Jessica and Rowner (Rovner? too lazy to check). They both had zero knowledge or LOVE for comic books and it shows. Gossip Girl Woman should have not have been involved in a show based on comic books, end of story. They seriously have no idea what to do with KARA, not only every other charcter.
On the other hand Kara kicking Kal's ass was in AK's era (fuck him very much). Am I the only one annoyed how Kara's biggest strenght is her personality, compassion etc? And that her physical strenght is important and yay for kickng asses, but that's not the core of her strenght???
Yeah, I know they fucked up Mon Mon and he is not like his comic book selves, but I still I enjoyed him very much. Still annoyed how they erased his allergy easily, because him struggling with health is one of his nice flaws in the comic, ignored the Daxam - Krypton issues and made it "Daxam bad, Krypton good" thingy and erased his historian-engineering kinks? Plus, Imra???? I can't imagine being a comic book fan and not breathing fire.
The worst thing is Chris would absoulutely NAILED that Mon-El TT
Somewhere she was decent but on wheelchair, I think and of course we could have not gotten that.
I think you are not teh only one.
Tumblr media
It did, and I feel you. Also, it's super nice to exchange thoughts with not typically butthurt sc stan here, so thanks :D

forgotten idols and their intertwined destinies (chapter 2)
Chapters: 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18/19/20/21/22/23/24/25/26
Luz De Sol
Bhadra left the homestead early in the morning. Her travel to Banapur was quicker than she’d expected, but nothing had prepared her for the breezy breath of the heights they were in, the simplicity of its terraces and the village that once used to be her home.
Though she’s glad it isn’t anymore.
Swallowing away the sick feeling of nostalgia, she spotted the familiar color palette from yesterday— there stood another one of Modern Shangri-La’s soldiers, by the stairs. She approached the girl.
“Modern Shangri-La?” Bhadra asked. The girl’s eyes widened, mouth curved into a grin.
“Sakshi! Come, you have to follow me.” she said, strapping her rifle to her back. She led the way to an ATV, their path travelling down the mountain and into the main roads, but to Bhadra she realized this path was more foreign than she had remembered. Following the slope,  the road slowly curved from dirt into the grass, meeting with a stone wall.
As Bhadra followed the girl up with a grappling hook in hand, a cave system within the mountain became visible. Upon closer inspection, the cave was only small, but that wasn’t the end of it. The soldier used her grappling hook, throwing it to a ring attached to the stone ceiling, gesturing for Bhadra to follow.
Light came into view on the other end, and Bhadra’s eyes widened, realizing that what was before her was a built-in camp full of soldiers, training and fighting in the dark, illuminated only by candles and torches that were banned long ago. As she hopped down from the rope, the girl lead her to a man watching the others train, three make-shift straps tied to his uniform. As he turned his head, despite it being dark, it was easy to see that the man had shorter cropped curly hair. The hair at his back was long and tied into a loose braid, hanging over his shoulder. His eyes were lined with mascara and eyeliner, making his eyes seem bigger. Unlike the others, his shirt had been unbuttoned down to the chest, and the high waisted line of his pants were shown.
He looked rugged, really, but he was cheerful. The girl had left Bhadra for awhile now, and so the man had approached her instead.
“Sakshi Bal, correct?” he held his arm out, and Bhadra had mirrored his movement, gripping by the forearm, then letting go.
“Yes. You are…?”
“The leader of Modern Shangri-La. I am Adhrit. It’s an honor to meet you, sister.”
Bhadra smiled. “An honor to meet you too. I’m impressed with the work you’re doing here.”
Adhrit sighed, “It could always be better. We found that the caves of long ago tribesmen would have been useful to us as base camps. Pagan Min would have been searching high and low for us if we were out there.”
Bhadra bit back the need to say that it was actually Ajay who would be looking for them. This new generation, considering Adhrit’s young face and this revolution being full of young enough faces to make Bhadra feel old at 32— they probably wouldn’t even remember Ajay Ghale. To them, he disappeared from the face of Kyrat, never to return, plundering the country back into the chaos that it had been in for decades.
“I know,” she replied, “I grew up during the Golden Path’s time, you know.”
“As did I. My father was a soldier under Sabal.” he said. “Things weren’t the same when the Tarun Matara died; many of his people perished, so did he.”
“Well… Do you aspire to be like him? Sabal, I mean.” Bhadra asked. She had to know this early. Adhrit gave her a puzzled look, then he smiled and shook his head.
“I simply want to free Kyrat off its shackles.”
She chuckled, “Good.”
“Adhrit!” One of the soldiers called. Both their heads whipped to where the call was, followed by another who carried a flashlight from behind. “We caught sight of the new soldiers heading south of Meh Teh Airport!”
“Have you laid out the mines?” Adhrit asked, moving past Bhadra to lead the way for the rest of the soldiers. Bhadra followed after him.
“Yes! We need someone to get there to set off the first one.”
“I’ll do it.” Bhadra interrupted, standing between the soldiers and Adhrit.
“Sakshi, be careful.” He said, glancing down to where her belt was. “We’ll be tracking you with your radio so we can find you for your getaway.”
Bhadra nodded. Climbing up the rope and running outside, she saw the nearest pathway to Meh Teh Airport and spotted a car, making a run for it and driving all the way south of the field.
As she noticed the growing cluster of soldiers in the airport, her heart began to pound a little faster at the notion that this was going to be the biggest group she’s handled in awhile.
“Sakshi!”
Though at least she wasn’t alone. She pulled her radio out.
“I’m here, I’m here!”
“How close are you?”
Bhadra moved behind a bush, crouching down. “Close enough to count the trucks. I see 4, 5, 7, 9 of them. Is that going to be enough?”
“Yes! Throw a rock at the first mine that you see on your left, it won’t set off a chain but it will catch their attention.”
Bhadra took a peek, staring into the plains before reaching out for the heaviest rock in her vicinity. She threw it to the glint of white she spotted, and just like that, the bomb had gone off, alerting the soldiers nearby.
“Sakshi, you’re going to need to find a rope somewhere close by. When you do, don’t touch it.”
“Hey— who’s there!” A voice shouted from afar. Bhadra covered her radio and tucked it back into her belt, moving to the next bush in the foliage as the truck had driven over to where the mines were.
Find the rope, but don’t touch it.
Bhadra clenched her jaw. Taking out her knife to prepare, though, a rustle in the trees caught her off guard, making her look up to find the rope that went into a downward angle, digging into the dirt. She realized what exactly it was going to do. The other end of the rope was what she couldn’t see, but as soon as the car rolled into the field with several others, it exploded.
Bhadra scrambled away, avoiding the shrapnel that would come her way.
“—kshi—Sakshi!” The radio cried out.
“Adhrit?!” she shouted, sliding down the hill.
“We heard the explosion! Get ready to find the road, we’re coming to get you!”
A car pulled up. She was about to hit the passenger’s seat until gunfire was heard, and suddenly the driver in the seat was shot dead. Bhadra cursed, kicking the body out of the car and moving into the seat, stomping on the pedal.
The car went as fast as it could, bolting through the roads with Bhadra’s recklessness. The shooters from before were following her, but all she could make out was the familiar sight of a fortress nearby and a lake.
Then another car came into view. She stomped on the brake, only for the car to hit something along the way and causing it to take off from the road, meeting eyes with a man with long hair and a uniform that screamed general—
And landing hood first into the water.
For once, Bhadra was lucky to not wear a seatbelt. She kicked open the door, scrambling upwards to the surface. As she swam towards the shore the cars were already rolling up, and the same man from earlier had come to her. As soon as Bhadra was about to open her mouth, though, a kick to the head sent her vision into black.

{ 🌊 }
Just like her name foretold, Morwenna felt as if the waves of the sea were crashing in on her.
Clinging to Jackie in more hiccups and sobs, the ginger buried her face into her chest,
“ I don’t — hic — I don’t WANNA hurt anyone ! “
Just like her mother, alright. Fighting until the very end to not hurt a soul. Even if she did have parts of her ruthless father, Morwenna also sported the undying love Eleanor held for everyone.
“ Can’t you just do it ? ! Can’t I just hide somewhere until it’s all done ? ! I can learn how to shoot some other time ! “
Jackie stands up, holding her little sister close.
She can feel Morwenna's face burying in her chest and rubs the girl's back, in an attempt to calm her down.
"Ye most likely not be havin' teh," Jackie comforts in a soothing tone, attempting to bounce the girl a bit.
The woman whispers, "Just like yer fuckin' mother," with no little amount of fondness. She continues to keep her little sister as close as she can.
Unlike Candle, Morwenna is allowed to be as close as she wants whenever she wants, save dangerous situations
"This not be about learnin' teh shoot love, this be about ye bein' safe," she responds, regret in her tone, "Hidin' not be enough, 'm afraid. If anyone be in the room other than me, ye need teh shoot."
Jackie will inevitably need to leave soon in order to get a handle on the situation. Morwenna cannot come with her.
"Listen teh me, Morwenna," she speaks confidently, but with a gentle tone, "Ye most likely not be needin' teh do anythin'. But there be a chance. A chance I not be willin' teh take."
She then sighs, knowing how horrible a time this is to bring up.
"I also need teh leave fer a bit. I be comin' back as soon as I can. and I not be gone fer long, but I not be able teh make sure yer safe and get us out of this at the same time."
