Rewatching Ninjago

(With no context other than the episode)

Possession 9-10

CHENS NOODLES!!!

So that's means...

SKYLER!!!

Who knew stiix citizens were party folk

Crazy this is all happening on new-years

CYRUS BORG!!!

Cant believe we’re seeing these characters again

Cyrus borg: Lloyd looks older! I see we have a water ninja, a titanium one too! Coles a… a ghost? Jay. you look shorter. And Kai!

Cole: ☹️

Jay: what do you mean I look shorter.

Ohhhh I see where they got Coles love for music in the movie.

Its canon he loves soft rock btw for anyone who makes Cole brookstone spotify playlists

THEYRE SO SUPPORTIVE OF NYA 😭😭😭

Shes got a plaaan :DDD

So the ghosts just live in stiix now-

Wus latest fits have been fire

Morro: you really think id ever have the ninja even step foot in my town?

(Cuts to the ninja quite literally wandering around in disguises in his town)

NYAS IN LLOYDS GREEN NINJA SUIT

Ok ok ok whats gonna happen im excited

Kai: Tea anyone :D

Ghost: Yes please!

Kai: (dumps it on him) :D

Ghost: HFHJSHFOSJRNRARARATEIRIEN

Kai: oops!

Morro: (trauma dumping on the ‘green ninja’)

Nya: 😐😑😐

GO NYA HELL YEAH

This is embarrassing for you Morro, ur ghost friends can Respawn now and the ninja are STILL winning 🙄

Nvm

Morro: Im stronger Lloyd!!! Ive been inside your head… ik what your afraid of!!! You could never do this alone! Your WEAK.

Okay but if youve been inside his head then you have to at least have a little bit of pity for him.

If you witnessed his trauma firsthand and didnt feel bad for attacking him then idk man 😭

Morro: What are you waiting for Lloyd? An invitation?!? If you want the realm crystal! EARN IT.

Morros lines are fucking cool as hell tho

Lloyd: (on the verge of breaking the crystal)

Morro: STOP!

Lloyd: (actually stops)

WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Morro you manipulative BITCH

Lloyd: (contemplating if he should break the crystal or not to save his father)

Kai: (frantically giving Lloyd instructions on how to fight, assuming Lloyd just forgot, through a barred window)

Stop.

No.

I dont like that. Dont like that at all. The preeminent can go and fuck right off i hate her.

LLOYD NO.

I REMEMBER THIS

HES BEING DRAGGED TO THE CURSED REALM

Time for a father son reunion 😀

Kai: Who’s THAT

Zane: thats the preeminent, shes the manifestation of the cursed realm.

Cole: Well I know one thing, she ain’t pretty.

I hate her design i hate it

First nimbus, now the preeminent why do we have the grossest and ugliest creatures this season

She looks like a bulging veiny eyeball with an asshole in the middle

I hate her sm

I hope she explodes and dies

Actually no thats also gross

I hope she peacefully fades away.

Misako: Look! Its Lloyd!

Morro: (on a tentacle of the preeminent, half transparent, a ghost, and black hair.)

Wu: thats not Lloyd…

Yeah, no shit.

Kai: if theres any time to unlock your true potential its now!!!

Nya: Oh! Your so right! Let me just flip a switch! OH RIGHT. I DONT HAVE A SWITCH BECAUSE IM NOT A FUCKING NINDROID

i think Nya should be allowed to curse

Lloyds INSIDE the preeminent?

Okay but why are Chen and Clouse in little cages while Garmadons chained like hes some sort of beast

How is that fair.

This hurts because Garmadons there. HES RIGHT THERE. Hes been chained up for months. And Ik hes gonna continue to be there for years.

At least he got a second goodbye.

Nya: IS THIS AS FAST AS THE BOAT GOES???

Ship man (drinking tea): its a steam boat not a rocket ship🙄

Ok but you dont gotta be a dick about it

Lloyd wearing his fathers garments/robe is very symbolic and sweet but theres two choices for Garmadon in the cursed realm rn

Hes either butt ass naked

Or hes wearing his sons small teenager clothes

Morro probably listens to better than me by the brobecks

Lloyds so smart

Drown that pubic stress ball!!!! 📢

Wait so are they just gonna drown the city of stiix

I did NOT need a close up shot of the preeminents ghost-making hole

God she has legs now.

HELL YEAH THE NINJA ARE OFFICIALLY SIX

im so pumped

Jay: Doctor! I think the patients knee needs to be put on ice!

Zane: Gladly!

Best dynamic

The way Lloyd and Morro are fighting between realms isnt even like, real fighting. Its exactly how me and my cousins used to play fight 💀

They did not.

THEY DID NOT.

ITS CHIMA 😭😭😭

ARE THEY GONNA CAMEO OTHER LEGO SHOWS AS THE SIXTEEN REALMS?!?!?!??

Kai: (falling)

Cole: I GOT YOU!

Kai: (phases right through him) AAAAAAAAA

Cole: oh. I guess not.

It always ends with this. With the “i cant swim!” kai and the “I can’t get wet!!!!” Cole

FIRE AND ICE MAKE WATER.

…

You know when that would have been useful? FIVE EPISODES AGO.

“You’re weakness is that you give up too easily. You only like what comes easy. Don’t be afraid to fail, Nya”

The way water is so fluid and loose. Flexible to be shaped into anything it wants to be. The saying of ‘go with the flow’ which is usually connected with water and going where life takes you, carefree and relaxed.

All that being the exact opposite of Nya

No wonder she had such a hard time mastering it

Nya ik you unlocked your true potential but be careful there 😀 Cole will still DIE if he gets in contact with water

Nyas literally the best

Favorite character!!!!!

No. Dont do this to me.

This is the most desperate ive ever heard Wu sound.

He just wants his adopted son back.

Morro please.

Morro: you can only save those, who want to be saved…

NO THAT IS NOT THE LAST THING YOU SAY THOSE ARE NOT YOUR LAST WORDS.

And the award of quickest and most accepted redemption in lego ninjago that lasted 5 seconds goes toooooo

MORRO!!!!

No but fr he was such a little bitch this whole season and really had no redeeming qualities other than his tragic backstory/motivation. Also his redemptions only being 5 seconds of giving the crystal to Wu and saying a very depressing line before returning to the cursed realm.

Canon Morro is questionable, but fanon Morros cool as fuck, love that guy

Hes also just, a kid.

I think.

Morro acts a little like Lloyd, with his childlike speaking habits. Who knows.

Wait.

So the cursed realm.

Its gone?

Like GONE gone??!?!

Like, EVERYONE in the cursed realm, inside the preeminent, is DEAD.

Garmadon???

Morro?????

So theres FIFTEEN realms now?!?!?!?

#morro stans dont come for me I love him i promise #ninjago #lego ninjago #Rewatching Ninjago

Familiar Faces

Cal Kestis x reader

warnings:

a/n: ohhhh my god im sorry this is the last cal idea i had im so sorry there are requests for him now ahhahahhah

prompt: it’s been too long since cal and y/n had seen each other

“Cal, can you hear me?” Cere asked over. the comms. Cal was making his rounds on Zeffo, he’d probably be here a while.

“Loud and clear, Cere. What’s going on?” Cal slowed his run to a walk to hear what Cere had to say, she sounded serious and he could hear the Mantis getting ready to move.

“We intercepted more imperial transmissions and it sounds like you inspired another Jedi to come out of hiding. Greez and I are going to find them before the Empire does, are you going to be okay here?” Cere explained and waited for Cal’s response.

“Of course I’ll be okay, go find our Jedi, I’ll talk to you soon.” Cal stopped in his tracks and proudly smiled to himself, glad that he wasnt alone on the front lines anymore. Hopefully. He went on with his journey, running into some sort of trouble every few steps. So much better than hiding, for sure.

—————

Meanwhile, you were on Tatooine, dodging every authority in sight. You didn’t actually want to be found, but some people want their payday. All you wanted to do was finish up the ship you were being paid to tune up and make some money, but here you were on a middle of nowhere planet with the galaxy’s most ruthless soldiers on your tail. It was a good thing you’d kept your lightsaber all these years, something told you that you were going to need it.

“‘Go to Tatooine,’ they told you, ‘no one’ll ever look for you there.’” You muttered to yourself as you peered out the alley to see if the coast is clear. It wasn’t. You saw your boss talking to an inquisitor and her troops. “This isn’t gonna be good, is it?” You asked yourself and overheard your boss telling them which way he saw you go and exactly where you lived. “Oh, come on, Sal, I thought we were friends.” You rolled your eyes and turned around to see an older woman standing at the end of the alley with her blaster in her hand. She saw your lightsaber and you thought this was it, but she put the blaster back in it’s holster and approached without fear.

“I’m Cere, I’m here to help.” She told you with her hand extended for you. “I can’t explain everything now, but we came here for you. We have the other Jedi.” Your eyes went wide as you realized she really was here to rescue you. “Let’s go.” She backtracked to her ship without being spotted by any imperial enemies. Only problem is, the ship was far off in the desert so that it wouldn’t be spotted. “You haven’t talked the whole way here.” Cere sat down on the couch and invited you over by patting the seat.

“Sorry, I have a lot on my mind.” You accepted her invitation and leaned your head back. “Today didn’t exactly go as planned.” You blew a piece of hair from your face and leaned forward, turning your head to her and holding your hand out. “I’m y/n, I realize I haven’t told you my name yet.”

“Well, y/n, are you ready to restore the Jedi Order?” Cere asked and took you off guard.

“That’s what I’m doing here? Wow,” you chuckled with a look of disbelief stuck on your face, “where’s the other guy?”

“On a planet called ‘Zeffo.’ He’s supposed to be searching old Jedi temples by now.” She explained. “I’d like you to meet him without any preconceived notions from me. You’ll see him very soon. Would you like something to eat?”

“Oh, sure. Thanks.” You closed your eyes and wonder what it was you had just gotten yourself into. “Who’s the captain of this ship, huh?”

“That would be Greez. You should head to the cockpit and say ‘hi.’” She suggested while fixing up some leftovers. You figured there was nothing better to do and took a look in the cockpit.

“Hey! There you are!” Greez greeted you with a bundle of warmth. “I’m Greez Dritus, captain of the Mantis, and you are..?” He waited patiently for a reply.

“Y/N L/N.” You answered respectfully. “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a Lateron.” You observed his four arms and he let out a hearty laugh.

“Oh, yeah? Get used to it! Hope you didn’t track any sand onto my ship.” You could tell he was joking. “I like you, kid. Cere told me I wasn’t allowed to talk about our other Jedi friend until you met him, not sure why, but oh, well. More time to talk about me!” Greez joked and you joined in his laughter. “We’re almost to Zeffo, kid. Take a seat.”

The Mantis landed on Zeffo and was greeted by heavy fire from an AT-ST. Since it wasn’t the worst threat, you quietly ate your warmed leftovers in the kitchen while Cere called the mystery Jedi that you would be partnered with.

“He’ll be here soon.” She informed as you stared at your glass of water. “Have you used the Force since Order 66?”

“Not really, I haven’t had to. I’m probably a bit rusty.” You admitted, getting a bit distracted by the sound of the imperial walker taking shots at the ship. “Are you sure were safe in here?”

“We’re perfectly fine, I’d like to see you use the force on that glass, if you’re up for it.” She motioned to the water and you gulped and heard the AT-ST start to shoot in another direction, which made you feel better.

“Uh...yeah, okay.” You lifted your hand gently and closed your eyes in an attempt to concentrate, feel the Force around you. You had to open yourself back up to it.

“You’re doing good, y/n.” She told you as she saw the glass levitate slightly, but you suddenly jumped and the glass flew across the room and shattered. You were gasping for breath and she put a hand on your shoulder to calm you. “Hey, that’s not a big deal. I can clean it up.”

“I’m confused about your relationship to the Force.” You told her and she chuckled.

“Well, I was a Jedi, but—” She was cut off by the sound of the door of the Mantis opening for the other Jedi. You looked up and watched as the young redhead boarded and greeted him crew, then turned his gaze to see you on the couch. You were quick to get up and stunned at who you were looking at.

“Cal Kestis?” You asked in disbelief while slowly stepping towards him.

“Y/N L/N?” He did the same and suddenly the two of you had your arms locked around each other, his hand was placed at the back of your head, tangling with your hair.

“I...I thought you died.” You whispered with a shaky voice, you were filled with all sorts of emotions during this reunion. You blinked back tears and let out a soft chuckle after realizing that you got one of your best friend’s back.

“Well, that makes two of us.” He pulled you away and you moved your hands to his face, tracing his scars.

“Where have you been?” You looked into his teary eyes and he held onto your hand that was caressing his cheek.

“Bracca, and you?” Cal couldn’t help but smile upon closer look of your face.

“Tatooine.” You placed your head onto his chest and bit your lip to keep it from shaking.

“So, you two know each other?” The pair of you turned to Cere with her arms crossed and a himt of a smile.

“Me and y/n were padawan learners together, our masters had us train together often. We were best friends as kids.” Cal explained to Cere.

“Well, I’m glad there’s some familiarity. Why don’t you bring y/n to your quarters and catch up, maybe explain the mission?”

—————

Well, in the end, things didn’t exactly gonas planned, you were just glad that everyone was okay. You were sore, so sore from all pressure you had put on your body, it was all so sudden. You passed out on your bunk above an injured Cal, the last thing he could remember was you dropping when Vader had thrown you across the hall of the fortress. He shot up from his sleep and nearly hit his head. He dreamed you died, scrambling to figure out if it was true.

Cal spotted your arm hanging off the side of the bunk and hoisted himself up to you to investigate. Fortunately, you were still with him, but he woke and startled you, sending you backwards with a gasp.

“Oh, god, Cal!” You launched yourself into his arms and he fell back, you laid on top of him, nuzzling your head into his neck. “I’m so glad you’re okay.”

“Are you kidding me? I thought you were a goner while we were still in the fortress. You nearly gave me a heart attack!” He stroked your back and you listened to his breathing. “I don’t think I can lose you again.”

“You won’t. I promise.” You lifted yourself off of him and slipped your eyes down to his lips, but quickly back up. Bad idea. You hoped that Cal didn’t notice, but of course he did.

“Come on, let’s go see the team.” He suggested before you sheepishly crawled off of him and waited for him to hop off the bunk. You paused with your legs draped over the side of the bed and stared at your calloused hands, trying to picture your fate if it weren’t for Cal and the others. “Are you coming?” You noticed he was watching you the whole time and looking a bit worried with a grin to ease himself.

“Uh—ye...yeah.” You stuttered and dropped from the bed, Cal caught your sides and held you momentarily, keeping you close to him. “The crew?” You whispered.

“I know, I know. I just...need a second.” Cal placed his forehead on yours and closed his eyes. “We’re Jedi.”

“Right.” You agreed, trying to be rational in your mind, trying to figure out what he was getting at, trying not to get your hopes up that he might be implying that there was a reason he would want to break the Code.

“There’s no Council.” He added, making your lips part ever so slightly upon realization.

“Yeah.” You moved your rough, worn down hands to his cheeks and he opened his eyes, you sensed confliction in him, but he could say the same for you. “Cal?”

“Yeah?” Cal answered but you cut off your thoughts and watched him standing there in front of you, each of you still a bit battle damaged, but it was okay because you still had each other. There was a moment of realization where you thought that was all you needed, each other. Damn the Jedi Code.

Cal didn’t exactly grow impatient, he just couldn’t go another second without learning how you tasted. He tightened his grasp on you and leaned forward to your lips, joining them with yours. You pushed forward and wrapped your arms around his neck and shoulders to deepen this experience, he was gentle, moving his hands up your waist a bit. He enjoyed the hums that were slipping from your throat.

“I can’t lie to you, I’ve been waiting to do that for a while.” You shyly admitted and gave him a quiet chuckle.

“I know, me too.” He placed a separate kiss on your forehead. And your nose. And your cheek. And your other cheek. You were giggling, he was happy, then he took your hands into his and whispered. “This is our new path.”

hey hey hey i really don’t feel like writing starters just for them to sit there without any replies sooo i’m really interested in the plots bellow (yes there’s lot of them, i like to have options). striked means the plot is already taken. if you’re interested in anything please don’t be shy hmu and i’ll write you a starter. i’m always down for writing several plots with the same person too!!!

misc

honestly i want more supernatural plots, plots with asoiaf-ish elements (i don’t write canons but i don’t mind writing plots based on canon stories), or plots with lots of magical realism. i don’t have any ideas in specific but if you’re interested and want to bounce ideas off lmk.

really want a mob doctor plot for callie, and a plot where carlota gets her heart-broken.

actual plots

“you can’t even take care of yourself how are you going to take care of a baby?”

[a] has finally confessed their feelings to [b]. everything is fine and dandy... until the next day wen they kiss [b] on the lips and [b] is very confused.... turns out [a] confessed their feelings to [b]’s doppelganger.

[a] was somehow transported into another world or reality. [b] has spent years looking for them... now the they have found them... [a] doesn’t want to go back.

(annihilation vibes) [a] and [b] are a couple / exs / almost dated. they are assigned to go on an exploration - one [a] had gone in before and which ended earlier than expected. during their exploration they are forced to face the nature of their relationship, their past shortcomings, and also the fact that there’s something awfully strange going on in the surroundings around them.

(tomb raider vibes) [a] and [b] are on the same side at first, but when the bad guy is defeated [a] wants to keep the magical artifact that could literally change the lives of millions of people... [b] thinks the artifact should stay where they found it.

(historical) [a] went to war and was presumed dead, against all odds and to everyone’s shock he returns to his family and bride [b] months/a year later, but [b] is quick to realise that something is off... when is it a good time to tell your future wife you made a deal with the devil?

[a] and [b] are very close/in a relationship and their job is to hunt down supernatural beings... and then [a] is turned into one. will [a] kill them when they find out?

(historical) [a] is a skilled nurse. [b] is their patient. somehow they click. alas there is a pretty big witch hunt going on and oops turns out [a] is one of them.

a plot where muse a has been pretending to be a fortune teller/psychic and has become a really skilled liar. then one day muse b comes along. muse a bullshits their way through muse b’s reading… only literally everything they say it’s going to happen to them, happens to them.

based on princess diaries: (a) and (b) are good friends who may or may not have a massive crush on each other. (b) just found out they are royalty.

princess diaries 2: based on mia x nicholas

loosely based on bella x mortimer goth (this is so niche but hello sims lovers!!!). (a) and (b) are childhood sweethearts who get married and have a family. one day (a) vanishes and it shatters (b)’s heart. it takes months/a year but eventually (a) returns, although there’s something... different about them.

‘we’re childhood friends who grew apart because i moved away and now im kind of famous but anyway i’m back in town for a holiday and you lied to your family about dating someone because they’re always annoying you about being single haha oh man that wasn’t very smart of you you’re such a mess… wait you want me to pretend to be your s/o?”

(until dawn vibes) hanging out in a cabin in the woods for the weekend with their friends, [a] and [b] almost dated but the night things nearly took off an awful prank was played on [a]’s sibling, who vanished and was never found. a year later the friends are at the cabin again in some sort of homage ([a] could have asked them to come, it could have been [c] - someone who had an interest in [a]’s sibling, or it could be unknown who did it). odd things start happening and the group splits, soon realising that they are not alone. in the middle of all of this, [a] and [b] are stuck together, navigating their personal feelings, dealing with the guilt of what happened the previous year, and trying to stay alive.

for all their problems (a) has managed to make a nice life for themselves, they even got engaged to their hs/college sweetheart, (b). they never wanted to be part of the family dubious business and thought they were out. but for some reason they were dragged back it, which deeply unsettles (b).

stranger things / anything horror-ish. (a) and (b) were low-key close growing up, not really in the same circle of friends but they just understood each other even in silence. a couple years ago when (b) was home from college they finally hooked up and it was supposed to have turned into a relationship but (a) got cold feet. a year later (b) met (a)'s step-sister at college and the two hit off and as far as (a) knows they have been dating for the past couple months.... now (a)'s step-sister has gone missing and (a) is paying (b) a visit at college.

muse a and muse b went were set up on a date. it... didn’t go well. the conversation was painful and not going anywhere so they kind of just ended up having sex. about a month later muse b starts getting texts from muse a. they think muse a wants to give it another go. muse b agrees to meet up with them to let them down gently... then muse a tells muse b she’s pregnant.

modern or historical. (a) and (b) recently got engaged and went on a short vacation to a charming cabin where they had a staff of two at their disposal. they got snowed in… which would have been fine if (b) wasn’t secretly a vampire and needed sustenance. bad things followed.

jumanji inspired aka “we played a game years ago and you vanished but now you’re… back? am i losing my mind?”

muse a and muse b are staying in a hotel for some reason - separate rooms. the hotel is haunted. when weird things start happening one of them wants to leave but oops, it’s snowing really hard and they can’t go anywhere.

muse a has always had very vivid dreams. one day they dream that they are in a ship during a storm, someone holding heir hand. something rolls down the deck hitting muse a in the left ankle. when muse a wakes up they feel normal until they swing their feel out of bed and try to stand, a sharp pain coming from their left ankle. when muse a looks at it, it’s bruised.

based on black chalk (book): a game of consequences, of silly forfeits, childish dares to be played by best friends in their first year at Oxford University. but then the game changed: the stakes grew higher and the dares more personal, more humiliating, finally evolving into a vicious struggle with unpredictable and tragic results. (optional: now, fourteen years later, the remaining players must meet again for the final round.)

a painful friends to lovers with a lot of history that’s a combination of a combination of: https://mocnlighted.tumblr.com/post/620129653361950720 + https://mocnlighted.tumblr.com/post/619204367325822976/sunciity-give-me-best-friends-who-harbor

It’s time for me to talk about my love towards Full Metal Alchemist.

And yes, let’s talk about the ending (well-crafted, in comparison to...you know).

THUS. SPOILER ALERT PEOPLE.

I followed Full Metal Alchemist through and through, started reading around when Edward remembered in a flashback how he received his national alchemist badge when it was scanlated by Toriyama World, and I have to painstakingly wait each month to be released a new chapter, later scanlated by evil-scans and then zomgfta alchemist. Therefore, I’m going to describe the emotions felt while I followed each release of chapter between those two shounen mangas.

The story of Full Metal Alchemist is well developed. You can see that the author put an effort to plan the plot, how she carefully put her themes, sub-plots, foreshadowing and how it’ll pays off later. The story has a rhythm, a slow paced, almost episodic style at the beginning with witty jokes while introducing the characters. Ed’s flawed nature and his loose moral compass, which makes his brother Al a perfect companion to even out in this aspect.

As the story progresses, you can feel that even some parts that were supposed to be meaningless, is mentioned afterwards. That makes you invested in it, you’ll re-read the chapters all the time, craft theories, nitpick each panel while you debate with your friends or in the forum. I remember how stoked I was when I predicted like...ten chapters prior, that Al was going to sacrifice his soul to save Ed’s arm.

All the characters are charismatic, some more well developed, others not as much. That also gives you more reason to wait (im)patiently for a new chapter, because you want to follow their journey.

Then the first “faux” climax happens, when they meet the Father. I was like “ooooh now shit is going down”. And yes, it did. But when I thought this manga was going to be over soon, because for a typical shounen meeting the big bad boss meant that they’d fight soon and it’ll be over. That didn’t happen.

See, Full Metal Alchemist is not as simple as just that. Like I’ve said, the author put her themes, she built the manga around it. The philosophy about Alchemy that Izumi made Ed and Al learn “All is one, one is all. We may be insignificant in this cosmos but it’s the reunion of this singularity makes the universe work.” All tied with friendship. Companionship. Meanwhile, another concept crashes in, that every action has something that rebounds back.

Alchemy is an excellent tool, but the author proved over and over the course of history that it’s not the only tool. She even makes jokes about how Edward is useless while the other fighters moves around, defeating the villain. She reminds how everyone is crucial, from the fighter who can sense homunculus, a nurse who feeds inside infos to Roy to a dedicated automail mechanic like Winry.

The author teaches the importance of life. Of soul. And once again, friendship and comradeship.

The story continues to develop as it’s more fast paced, the jokes are still there but just put in some parts, that won’t cheapen the emotional value between tense moments. The author doesn’t dumb down to the readers, doesn’t put a convoluted explanation out of nowhere, you’ll find it if you’d re-read it. The friendship gets tighter and stronger, the love is recognized.

The climax arrives and makes you at the edge of the seat. Now, nothing is sacred, even if you know it’s a shounen, you still fear for the characters. I remember myself screaming when the villain cut Riza’s throat, I was shaking, literally counted each day for a new chapter.

And then, the resolution slowly crept in. It wasn’t sudden like “oh, I need to put an epilogue shit, what do I do” kind of ending that most shounen does. It took like...2 or 3 chapters after the villain was defeated. And even the villain being defeated took a good chunk of chapters. And remember, it’s 30 pages per chapter, since it’s not weekly like Shounen Jump. So all the adrenaline you felt while they were fighting was slowly simmering down as they went their respective ways, just like you’re with them.

But see, the resolution still paid off all the journey you followed with the characters. The author didn’t betray her themes, didn’t put a whole new idea out of the blue. It gives you some sort of satisfaction, a feel-good conclusion. When Ed relinquished his alchemy power, he said “it’s ok since I have my friends.” it does not feel forced AT ALL. Actually, you’re grinning ear to ear when you read that page.

Even all the pain and conflict you felt through while reading the story wasn’t left out. The characters paid for their bad decisions, villains and heroes. The heroes suffered for their erroneous actions, they used this to develop even further, to grow up. It’s not like another journey you went through, nothing had changed at all, and all flaws are still there, from both the villain and hero’s side. They didn’t reverse their development, turning a 16 years old girl, acting back to a 13 year old with a spineless crush, wagging her tail for some crumbs of affection *COUGH*.

Full Metal Alchemist followed its principles from start to the end. That’s also why you don’t feel cheated, unlike another story where at the beginning there’s the question of killing your emotions for the sake of a broken system, and at the end you tell your son to suck it up even when the system is still broken.

Look, I’d write more drawing comparisons between this good shounen and a bad shounen that left a bad taste on my mouth till now, but in the end, while I was writing this essay about FMA, it was almost like my brain didn’t want to taint the positivity given by this manga with the other bad one. So maybe I’ll write a full rant about how the other manga sucks, how the conclusion sprung out of nowhere and the ending colluded the themes the author tried to build. Eh...

#fma #Anti-Ending #it's mostly an essay about fma tho

Pick a thread from the past six months that you’re proud of and talk about why.

What HAVENT I been proud of in the last six months haha---ok jk jk.

Not really a thread but the whole arc of Howl turns into demon bird was really a thrill to write. I was a bit slow with it because school (ahhh schoooolll), but I was really proud of how it all ended up. From the intial unbecoming—which was short, but action-paced—to the kidnapping of the egg, to Kiki searching for Howl, then the reunion with Mel, and confronting Suliman—ugh it was so action-packed and fun and the egg has yet to unveil herself dun dun dun. (I do realize the first few paras of this fell before the six month line, but we will ignore that).

One of the things I find difficult in writing is, well, action sequences when a lot of things happened at once and this whole arc was full of them, so it really forced me to think about character placement and what a good next move would be. And I want to thank MK and Lauryl for being good partners with this (and being patient when I was slow) and just giving me a lot to work with and ugh yeah.

An honorable mention is the Titsy closet thread (lmao) not just for the smut but because I think that moment was like really character defining for both of them. There was a lot going on. It was also hot and steamy.

Another honorable mention is MILANO BREAKS INTO A MUSEUM AND WAKES A MUMMY AND OH GOD THE REPURCUSSIONS ARE JUST BEING FELT AHHH. Yeah that still has to play out but wow it is fun.

Identify a challenge you’ve faced in this rp. Reflect on why this is a challenge for you. Are there any strategies you can develop to overcome this challenge?

I’m too shy. And I know that is my one big weakness. And I know it might not seem that way in the group chat because I’m a jokester and I say weird shit and am generally jovial and talkative, but like one on one I am…so…anxious and shy and asdkjadlks. I swear to god no matter who you are if we’re talking one on one I get really anxious and im like oh god they noticed I was typing but then I realized I didn’t say anything oh god I feel awful maybe I should clarify wait no I shouldn’t wait no I should wait no it’s too late //screaMs and then I think you hate me. Rinse, repeat.

This is a challenge, of course, because it makes it really hard for me to plot—because it’s not just me going to approach people, but like people approaching me and I don’t know WHY because 9/10 I love their ideas/they love my ideas. And like I am trying my best to slowly get over it. Im trying to branch out and hit more people up and I am starting by outlining my goals for my characters and then trying to contact people who would be relevant and hopefully I don’t like combust with anxiety whilst doing so wish me luck;;

Pick one of your characters and talk about their growth (we recommend choosing an older character, but it’s up to you! ) What about their story has surprised you? What are you proud of? How have they changed from their original inception to now?

I did Howl last time so now it’s time for Miss Jane Porter.

Ah, Jane, Jane, Jane. SO like a little TMI background into the creation of Jane. I’ve roleplayed Jane Porter for like 6 years now. My original Jane was much different from this Jane. This Jane grew from quite a dark time in my life and her early days were very reflective of that dark time (only getting darker for those first months I had her). Thus, without me even intending it, she got quite depressed. I hadn’t expected it, but that’s the sort of thing that happens when you trap someone who never wanted to make a real commitment in a small town.

Jane was supposed to be fun, energetic, just happening to be weighed down by a dark secret—what she is now is more reflective of what I wanted for her. Instead, the idea of being trapped in one place, the idea of death lurking at the corner of her vision consumed her. She was lonely. She shut herself to the world. She regressed in a way that I did not anticipate. The only way out was for her to crash and burn.

So, I made Jane crash. I gave her everything she feared—the chance of falling in love, the potential of a child, a glimpse of a life that she could live in another world, basically what could be’s that she had been trying to stay away from. And she crashed and those few months were her darkest (like right after rejecting Milo, the time jump, then the pregnancy thing).

Now she’s coming back around. What’s fun with Jane (and by extension Milo) is that they have this—and I’m using a Lauryl ™ term for this—complicated happiness. Where they are happy, but ya know, there are issues. At their best, they are an unstoppable team—they hunt demons, they sneak into museums, they make each other brave (they are both brave, I think, in different ways, but the way that they are not brave is exactly what the other is brave in, so it like complements each other). But at their worst, they become scared: Milo frets, Jane avoids, Milo overanalyzes, Jane tries not to acknowledge. And so far there hasn’t been a real issue with that, but they should have a Talk sooner or later.

I’m proud that Jane was able to pull herself up. But what I want her to do is recognize her problems. She’s very avoidant that way, turning to alcohol/sex when she’s really down or simply ignoring the little things when she’s on a high. She fits her enneagram type to a tee. She ignores bad things and just tries to focus on something new, something exciting, something good. But she needs to recognize problems and work to fix them before they become Big Problems.

Pick another character and talk a little about where you WANT them to go. What are your plans for them for the rest of the year?

I’m going to go with Daisy on this one.

So Daisy, Daisy, Daisy. My little flower. Daisy is always weird for me because literally everything I ever planned for her went in the complete opposite direction. Date Stan? Nope. Interact with Tito just for fun? Lol. Fake-date Lou in the Hogwarts-verse? Hahaha. Even the long term things ended up getting derailed by events (titsy wasn’t supposed to like get together for a bit, but then valentine’s happened, for example). So with Daisy a plan is more like a rough guideline. (which is so FUCKING META IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT BECAUSE SHE LITERALLY PLANS EVERYTHING AHHH)/

There are two paths I envision for Daisy: the first requires a lot more work, but may be more fulfilling in terms of character development and lead to a happy ending. The second is more comfortable and honestly, more unexpected and might be more interesting.

The first is that Daisy rejects the notions of class and wealth she was bred into, which as I mentioned before, would require a lot of work in changing her thinking, but it can be done. Not to be super Sorting Hat Chats in here (okay but when are we not), her primary is Ravenclaw and right now her system is in a bit of a flux and she’s trying to rebuild it. She would need the right type of influence—not just from Tito, mind you, because she feels that she is biased should she solely listen to him (Daisy’s quite analytical and logical and will try to put her own feelings aside when it comes to that decision). It would need to be a mix of outside forces, and this I can see ending in her graduating and doing what she wants to do, instead of what approved jobs her mom would have picked out for her (so maybe trying to strike it out on her own and starting her own lifestyle blog, or working at a smaller company, or maybe one focused on social justice instead of just haute couture idk) and most importantly, choosing her heart over preapproved options.

Now this is the option that would represent the most character growth, but my hesitation? It’s cliché. It’s a bit overdone. It’s Rose from Titanic. It’s been done, and for the way it would pan out with Daisy, it would not be super unique. Would it be the happier ending? Well, yes. I’ve not closed it off completely and tbh I am a sucker for happy endings, so this might be the way to go, I’m just leaving room to think of option two.

Option Two is that Daisy decides that her whole system of class and wealth and status is the one for her. This would just need little nudges from her family, from her friends of high status, reminders of people who have fallen, glimpses into a future that is glamorous and glittering—where she has access to her wealth and name and can use that to better the lives of others. Without having to focus on meeting her own needs, she can turn to the world. (That would be the argument there). Now this has a clear end for Daisy—she graduates, she moves to London or Paris or New York. Will she be satisfied? We won’t know. Her story in Swynlake will end. It ends with a whimper, not a bang. It’s classy, it’s literary, it’s Sister Carrie achieving her dreams, yet feeling empty in her rocking chair..

Now these two options are by no means the only paths for Daisy to follow (and heaven knows she’s done an amazing job at skirting around literally every other plan I’ve set up for her)—so we will see! Maybe it will be some weird combo of those two. Maybe something will happen to expedite one or the other. Maybe she’ll turn into a zombie.

OPTIONAL (REQUIRED FOR THOSE WHO DIDN’T DO THE LAST QUESTIONNAIRE): In terms of your own writing, identify 1-3 strengths and talk about why you think it’s one of your strengths.

Uhhhhhhhhh. Srry ive felt bad about my writing lately but here goes:

Structure: now this is like. A weird one?? Idk it stood out to me when I wrote Ly’s one-shot about her brother, but I like playing with structure and having set forms and beginning sentences certain ways and having repetition and idk this is weird but I really enjoy doing this so I do think I do it well.

Description: I think I do this well. When I do it I mean. I try. I think I do it the best with magic, Howl’s and Ly’s specifically. Also Daisy’s outfits lmao.

Humor: This one I will say I do well. I make myself chuckle.

OPTIONAL (REQUIRED FOR THOSE WHO DIDN’T DO THE LAST QUESTIONNAIRE): In terms of your own writing, identify 1-3 areas of improvement.

Dialogue: last questionnaire I said I did dialogue well but I take it back. I feel like all my characters sound the same. Idk. Except for like Howl maybe, and Roger. I guess it’s like the cluster of Ly/Daisy/Eva with their weird accents that don’t actually exist in youtube videos so I cant quite pin them down.

Setting: im really trying to improve on this! And just add like little details in general! It’s still a work in progress but it’s getting there!!

Like action/forwarding things this is vague: I remember very specifically in one of my creative writing classes, I had written something I was very proud of and someone told me something along the lines of “I enjoyed reading this and it was well-written…but it was just people sitting around and talking for the most part. Nothing happened.” And that really resonated with me because ya know, I do that well. I do sitting around and talking and thinking and longing and sighing quite well. It’s the like actually furthering things along part I am bad at. This rp has definitely forced me to do that and I am definitely improving, but it is still something I need to work on.

OPTIONAL (REQUIRED FOR THOSE WHO DIDN’T DO THE LAST QUESTIONNAIRE): Reflect on other writers you love– in the rp or out! How have they influenced you? What do you love about their writing that you want to bring to your own?

Every1 is great, again.

IF YOU DID THE LAST QUESTIONNAIRE: Alright, now pick an item from the Wishlist you completed in January that you’ve started to pursue. How far are you from completing this goal? Talk about the steps you took to make it happen.

Jane and the cheating thing. Not that Jane is going to cheat, not by a long shot. (Actually in the most recent of my replies to the Jane/Paul thread, I think Jane like drunkenly had the epiphany that she was just lusting over Paul because he represented her could-have-beens—will she remember that come morning? Find out.)

This is a thing that I don’t think will be resolved-resolved till Jane brings it up to Milo whenever they have that Talk that they need to have that’s kinda been building up haha.

I actually can’t remember if Lauryl offered Paul as the sacrificial lamb first or we had LADS interact with all our characters and Jane and Paul kinda hit it off (they’re both naturally flirty)—but whichever one it was, we took it off and just kept playing with it. It did take a brief hold up as my school picked up (darn you school), but I think it’s back on track and combined with this mummy plot. Well. Should be a fun time.

IF YOU DID THE LAST QUESTIONNAIRE: Pick another item on your wishlist that hasn’t happened yet. We’re gonna do a MOCK-PLOT!!! Pick a character who could help with this goal, and plan at least three threads or “steps” that would kick-start this plot. Need help? Remember to look at the plotting tips and tricks! See the end of this questionnaire for an example. You do not have to follow through with the plot as you planned it here– but it can kickstart brainstorming and get you thinking in terms of cause/effect.

Ok im cheating a bit for this and picking a character with a plot that I did not have on the wishlist (and then adding someone that I did bc why not)

LYMANTRIA GOES OFF THE DEEP END

Have someone further influence Lymantria into believing that she’s nothing without her magic (Mel or Mellie)

Lymantria seeks someone who will take Fey’s with her. They do the drug together. (Alice)

A trusted friend notices what’s going on and tries to intervene. (Maui or Meg)

Lymantria does not listen. Stronger forces must get involved (depending probably on who it was in the previous thread but most likely Esme or Copper/law enforcement in general (lmao or both)).

DAISY ADMITS SHE NEEDS THERAPY

There’s a thing that’s supposed to happen which will result in a big fight. (Tito)

Daisy most likely will go to Lou for advice. (Lou)

Most likely, she will not feel any the better from that and will probably save face since she hates seeming weak (especially in front of Lou lol) and then will be like let’s do what normal college aged girls do and go clubbing! And then get a full blown panic attack while clubbing. (Annette probably does daisy have any female friends idk---oh maybe Hermes tbh)

Either ends up at home or in the hospital, and like the boys will come so this is between Tito/Lou idk who is more likely to suggest that to her. Heck maybe Stan. Or ya know maybe a medical professional—Minnie? Sweet? Idk this end part is really up in the air and I think depends on what happens in the previous part.

AL LEARNS ABOUT FEMINISM

While online gaming, Al is confronted by a female gamer who calls him out for being a chauvinist. He relates this experience to a friend who further calls him out. (Gogo)

Al wants to find out what the heck he is doing wrong. Don’t women have it good already? He seeks out a woman he knows who has a better education than him and a better job, because he was definitely qualified to get into a good school he just couldn’t ya know and he wants to find out /why/ women think they are at a disadvantage. (Nala)

Al can’t believe it! He tries to find a man whom he respects who agrees with Nala. (a man Al respects—Wade, idk. Who is a nerd here?)

Finally: write a NEW wish list for the upcoming half of the year. It’s fine if you use a lot from your previous wish list if you still haven’t completed them and you still want to!

1. Family connections—leftover from my last list, but in the works as we speak mwhaha

2. I know I have already had a few love triangles, but I want one where the two outer points are like actually close and would hate to hurt each other by picking the love interest (like Angelica-Eliza-Hamilton, tbh) ‘cuz the ones I have right now the two outer points don’t really care about each other remotely.

3. POLYAMOROUS RELATIONSHIP—who knows, could be the solution to the above conflict haha.

4. Threesome—I’ve been pitching this endlessly. Someone write a threesome with me.

5. Explore Jake’s magic: I think his is the most undeveloped. I need an opportunity to bring it to light. I want him to either heroically help someone OR get in trouble and have to face the Dragon order repercussions, etc ,etc.
