Actually constantly thinking about Fabian seacaster and like especially after this episode like bill seacaster is such a more active parent to Fabian even in death and it is so clear like Fabian is like oh my papa and obviously Fabian was always going to choose to save his mother in season 1 over bill and clearly that is the right choice and both Fabian and Bill think so, but the absolute tragedy that Fabian chose to save the least active parent who, even after saving her and sacrificing his father in the process, shows so little care and concern for him is insane. Like Fabian had to choose to save his mom but that’s so bad that like he literally saved her and she just continues to abandon him and like now he doesn’t get to have his dad that’s so sad for him

This post is so incoherent but I’m literally always thinking about Fabian and his complicated parent dynamics especially with Bill

Also I love aewlyn and Fabian together so much and constantly thinking about how Lou said part of what drew Fabian to Aewlyn was that she reminded him of bill like the implications of that is love to see them interact

Also I wanna know how Fabian really feels about maesie and like how he would handle a dynamic that’s less chaotic also tho buying out a restaurant and paying huedal students to talk about him to make him seem cool but not too cool I literally love him so much he is insane also thank you Maisie for recognizing Fabian’s contributions (poor boy just doesn’t want to be alone)

Also fully support Fabian’s anti-sibling crusade tbh

This really started with a point and just became thoughts about Fabian also I def spelled stuff wrong but is what it is

It's definitely worth delving deeper into this moment. Certainly the Alternian view of the situation would agree with you - most trolls would condemn Tavros for failing to kill his tormentor in the grand tradition of the Empire.

Even from a human perspective, you could easily make an argument that Tavros did something wrong here. Vriska was literally asking for it, and she experienced a painful death that he could have prevented, had he took action.

However, I don't personally agree, for two main reasons.

Firstly, Vriska was bleeding out on that bed because she chose to be. She actively prevented Tavros from kiss-reviving her, while perfectly aware of the consequences for doing so. Tavros already tried to show mercy to Vriska, and she stopped him.

In essence, Vriska refused an antibiotic from Tavros, and then begged him to amputate her infected leg with a rusty saw.

Furthermore, every single time Vriska has tried to turn Tavros into a 'better', more violent troll, he's refused to comply.

She tried to extract a mercy kill from him - again, in a situation she engineered, and could easily have prevented - while fully aware that he isn't capable of performing mercy kills, and probably never would be. What, exactly, did she expect?

I think this is a good take, and might the real reason she pulled Tavros into this. I've pointed out before that Vriska clearly knew about her Quest Cocoon before Aradia's attack, so she could have gone there before, and ascended in much less dire circumstances.

She didn't. She is just a kid, and was likely terrified at the prospect of taking her own life - so she tried to put her life in someone else's hands instead. But, because she's Vriska, she picked the worst person she could possibly have chosen.

And we all saw the result.

I talked about this during the live discussion but my theory for the reason the RatGrinders where so interested in the Thistlespring Tree and the soil is because by infecting the soil, they can infect the pollen of the plants of Elmville. Then, that infected rage pollen would be used to make the Devil’s Honey that Gertie was talking about. It will then be used to infect the whole school through the food trucks. In their state of rage infection (where they worship the rage god), the devil’s honey would cause their worship and belief to be much more stronger as the infected will have no doubt that they ever worshiped anyone else and will start believing the lie.

I agree with most theories that the party died in the Mountains of Chaos and were brought alive by the rage god, but I find it more interesting how this god is operating. I’m not too sure if they’re directly controlling the actions of the RatGrinders or if it’s by proxy and the RatGrinders can control themselves to some degree, but the theme of loopholes and fairness is still prevalent in this plan. We have seen other gods be changed by their followers, like Cassandra and Tracker’s goddess, but what happens if the followers are essentially mind controlled into worship a certain god? especially one that is unnamed and largely unknown? Their plan is to actively shape the identity of their followers into being rageful and make those followers believe in the lie that they have always worshiped this rage god. Is this a loophole to the way worship in the FH universe works? Because based on what we have been shown, all worshipers were in some degree willing participates in their worship of any specific god, only social pressures and manipulations to keep them worshiping rather than being literally forced. So is this god trying to essentially build a brainwashed rage army to worship them in order to become a powerful god rather than building up followers? Is this rage god buying bots to artificially inflate their follower count rather than posting good-quality shit posts and amassing a loyal fan base?

Going over the whole villain plan so far: KettlePitty CopperFucker already has preexisting rage and jealousy toward the Bad Kids and specifically Riz. Her rage stems from her understanding how she’s an NPC in a DnD game. She’s essentially she’s an incel, wanting the world to revolve around her but not doing what’s necessary and thinking her conflict free life is boring and wanting the trauma of the Bad Kids. The idea of it all was much cooler in Kipperlilly’s head than it actually was for the Bad Kids, and the Bad Kids actually were able to work through that Trauma, leading them to be who they are. Anyway, Kipperlilly is a vulnerable teen who got too lost in her own emotions, and drove herself insane with her own jealousy, making her into the easy target for the Rage God. The Rat grinders’ treck into the mountains of chaos was most likely KipperLilly’s attempt at replacing the Bad Kids’ cool adventures but something went wrong, they weren’t prepared as they lacked experience with big threats, causing themselves to die. They all then chose to be revived by Rage God (TM), minus Lucy who stayed dead and who they hexed into never going into the afterlife as revenge(?) for not following the Rage God. (Begs the question of why they brought her to the Elmville forest rather than leaving her behind?). Anyways they go back to Elmville and slowly begin their plan, consisting of 2 steps.

1. Expel the Bad Kids as revenge.

2. Make everyone worship the Rage God.

The second step is much easier to explain. Kipperlilly sets up the food trucks and establishes them as legit. Then, at Frosty Fair, Ruben was supposed to infect all of Elmville’s soil through his ritual at the Root Guardian, being the Thistlespring residents. As discussed earlier, this would have caused all the soil and thus pollen and thus Devil’s Honey to be corrupted with Rage God and spread amongst the Aguefort student body. This creates a super army of Angy Bois who would all worship this one god. Now I’m not to sure if the ritual actually worked, but this sure seems like the original plan. Also somehow all of this is related to Ankarna and Cassandra and their marriage but I’m not sure how specifically. The Rat Grinders going back to the Mountains of Chaos might be for a ritual or meeting of some kind and we might get to see the Rage God in action as the RatGrinders report how their plan is not doing great, especially with the Bad Kids catching on and surviving. Also the Sky Engine stolen from Fabian’s basement might have something to do with the expulsion plan, but I’m leaning toward it relating to their trip to the Mountains of Chaos.

Now the first step is much more complicated and visible. First time, they try to expel them using the robit principal and catching the Bad Kids doing drugs at the Frosty Fair. This fails due to robit murder. This also leaves a power vacuum and due to Aguefort’s dumbass and Aguefort (the schools) lack of plan Cs, the Class President becomes the true principal in case of emergencies, leading Kipperlilly into furiously campaigning for President to become principal. I’m not sure if this is because she wants to expel the Bad Kids herself, a gun for more power, or something relating to the Rage God plan, or maybe all three? Idk. She is also most likely colluding with Jace Stardiamond, who we can assume gunned for Kristen to be failed for step 1 and for the bot not to be rebuilt for the above. The failing of Kristen also forced them to the Last Stand-ard Exam, where Buddy was probably planted by Stardiamond at the request of Kipperlilly and where Buddy and the Bad Kids were probably were going to be left for dead, hoping they may take the Rage God’s deal for life in exchange for worship and further indoctrination. Stardiamond is may be rage-compromised or is just being manipulated idk.

A TRIBUTE TO THE CLONES

As The Bad Batch Season 3 Comes To A Close...

youtube

"Goodnight Kamino"

(Taken from the Billy Joel song "Goodnight Saigon". I chose this song in particular as George Lucas wrote Star Wars with Vietnam in mind. EVERYONE...I WAS 6 YEARS OLD WHEN THE VIETNAM WAR ENDED! In my mind, the Clones are singing this song together...)

We met as soul mates on Kamino Island We left as inmates from an asylum And we were sharp as sharp as knives And we were so gung ho to lay down our lives

We came as highly engineered forces Sacrificed men as numbered corpses And we learned fast to travel light Our arms were heavy, but our bellies were tight

We had no home front, but we learned to cope They sent us holos, that gave us some hope We dug in deep and shot on sight And bet on the Force and the Light

We fought the Clankers on the landscape We passed the Spotchka and played our Jizz tapes And it was dark, so dark at night And we held on to each other, brother to brother We promised our Jedi's we'd fight

And we would all go down together We said we'd all go down together Yes, we would all go down together

Remember Jessie, remember Fives Tech fell on Eriadu, the end of their lives And who was wrong? And who was right? It didn't matter in the thick of the fight

We held the day in the palm of our hands They ruled the night, and the night Seemed to last as long as six cycles On Kamino Island

We killed with blaster fire, now serving the Empire And they were sharp, as sharp as knives They activated our chips, we killed Jedi on their ships Execute Order 66 had arrived

And we will all go down together We said we'd all go down together Yes, we would all go down together

Nah because it's downright nasty that people will claim that PineStar groomed LeopardFoot or that he's a predator, yet turn a blind eye to StormTail quite literally grooming MoonFlower when she was so young and he was so much older than her. StormTail genuinely manipulates MoonFlower, we see their interactions together when MoonFlower is young and he gives her constant praise and makes her think that she's mature for her age.

#blimbo rambles #wc #grooming mention #sometimes warrior cats fans will take words with heavy meaning and use them willy nilly #while also ignoring situations where the word itself can actually be applied properly #moonflower I'm so sorry this all happened to you #i'm sorry thunderclan actively knew about what stormtail was doing and chose to ignore it #i'm sorry the narrative treats stormtail in the wrong not because he's a groomer but because moonflower is dating the guy who #relentlessly bullied goosefeather #do you know how many times i gotta see people say without an ounce of shame that PineStar is a child predator whenever I go into his tag

Whats ur interpretation of heaven and its people in ULTRAKILL?

oooooo interesting question!! this is definitely gonna be long-winded even by my standards bc i'm about to speculate on a LOT so let's talk about it!!!

ok so there's a couple things that we seem to have laid out in the lore to start with, and that's largely the division that exists between true angels and their previously human counterparts. true angels look down on those derived from humans, seeming disinterested in god's experimentation and almost wanting to segregate themselves from them, while the human-based angels seem to revere true angels and follow the orders they give to them. the only rankings known to exist in ultrakill at this time (act ii) are archangels and virtues - theologically speaking, archangels exist as the second to lowest choir while virtues rank right in the middle BUT that's clearly not the case here as virtues come from human souls and gabriel clearly has the power to direct them. this could be for a couple reasons: ultrakill may follow the precedent set by paradise lost, which places archangels at the top of the angelic hierarchy, or "archangel" is a title conferred to gabriel, but not his actual "species". this comes from the idea of some texts that the four archangels are not true archangels but are in fact of a much higher rank, such as cherubim, that are denoted with the title to reference their leadership role amongst the angels. this is the idea i tend to favor in this case, as i don't believe gabriel is at the top of the hierarchy given his loyalty to the council, but i also believe he must be quite high up due to his power and respect.

i will say i don't think my interpretation is anything too different from anyone else's or many other pieces of media that examine heaven as less than perfect, but i believe these hierarchies are IMMENSELY important. the reason gabriel carries out his orders so diligently despite obviously being much more powerful and beloved than the councilors is simply because at least some of them rank over him - he is a being made to serve and if they are those that speak in god's place, he will do as they say just the same. the council, for their part, i think both used his strength and good will to bolster their decisions while frankly just. kind of hating him for the massive respect he garnered from the citizens in heaven. i tend to think this popularity stems from the fact that he interacted often with humans - he is always the messenger angel sent to earth and in some way, he's built a rapport with humanity. it goes both ways too, in that gabriel doesn't believe in segregation the way other true angels do and often interacts with human souls in heaven (i, like everyone else, believes he is particularly kind with children and he enjoys spending time with them when he has a chance to rest...i like them all looking like little lambs ;o;) this extends even further into his borderline heretical treatment of the sinners in hell - he's not nearly so harsh in his heart of hearts on their wrongs when they are remorseful or when their crimes truly weren't so terrible. but this is the inherent part of gabriel's tragedy - his sympathy and softness towards them is always overridden by his orders, and so this is why i believe even though he was always capable of overthrowing the council, he never did. orders are absolute to him, and his personal feelings never factor into the violence he carries out.

all of this culminates in how he is treated by the council - his power and popularity do a lot to further their ends, how efficiently he builds their empire on his back and how much the citizenry happily support anything gabriel does, but it's likely that they were looking for a way to get rid of him by the time the game happens. he is too powerful, he is too sympathetic to humanity, and i believe it was widely rumored in those higher circles that gabriel had unnatural tendencies toward the damned, though the proof may not have existed. they really honestly all believe that his role of messenger led him to be too close, too involved with the humans they so look down on.

i know i'm not the first person to suggest the idea (and here's where things get REALLY speculative hhh), but i too think the council was ready to dispose of gabriel now that their rule in heaven was absolute. i think it began with making him the judge of hell at a time when hell was becoming entirely unmanageable - not only does the council likely care little for hell and only wish to maintain its upkeep for its own sake or perhaps to uphold the idea that they still follow god's will, but it's also a mammoth task to regain control over it now that it's so far gone. and they send gabriel. perhaps they believed he was the only one who was capable of cleaning up that mess, but the move seems political, like a way to invent a failure for him. because failure is a death knell for angels, one that incurs heavy punishment as you are meant to be perfect in all you do. so gabriel was given a hell now run by its sinners, and so many there are, with planned insurrections and an entire layer flooded, he was sent with some lower angels to attempt an impossible effort. and he managed it. i'm positive he ran himself ragged doing it, committed a multitude of his own sins in the process, but he reinstated god's will to the extent that any of them can. so he didn't fail, but he's getting tired. and then the machines come, v1 comes, and gabriel is sent to deal with that because the whole of hell is seemingly only his business now. all he needs to do is fail and the council will be justified in their decision to rip the light from his body. because honestly, if it's not political, that would be a BONKERS move on their part given how gabriel seemed to single-handedly deal with the hell problem before all of this. they have an agenda and gabriel accepts it too, coming to them meek and ashamed after losing his fight, doing nothing to stop them as they tear the light from him and his anger is directed entirely toward v1, not the council. he's too obedient to think otherwise.

sorry for carrying on a lot more specifically about gabriel and the council, BUT that's mostly what i can say while sticking somewhat within the confines of canon. overall though, i think it's a strict and segregated place - the human souls are in paradise, but they very rarely see true angels other than gabriel since god disappeared. for their part, they are maintaining after the fall of man, believing in god's almighty power and mostly confident that gabriel and the council are completely in control of the situation. honestly...i'm not sure if this is disputed by anything, but i do kind of like the idea that maybe they're not even fully aware that god is gone. the true angels are adrift, purposeless, doing route management of heaven and little else, save for the council. its infrastructure is starting to buckle, it's turning into whatever the council wishes to make of it, and gabriel is exhausting himself trying to maintain the illusion that this place is still fully functional as it once was. BASICALLY heaven has a veneer of being fine and is holding up for now, crumbling just beneath the surface, but the human souls don't know and the true angels refuse to acknowledge it.

#hello. does anyone want an essay about angel power structures.#CAN YOU TELL angels and demons were something i got way too into as a kid!!!!#sorry again if this contradicts things in canon my memory is atrocious #and also gabriel's responsibility for what he's done is complex #bc he follows his orders exactly but he is active in that choice #i think he genuinely had a soft spot for the people of hell #but he chose to oppress them and harm them as well #because that is what perfection dictates and gabriel is and upholds perfection #YET he himself feels wrong for it but believes this to be a personal failing of his #the fact that he feels this sympathy is to him a sin and a shameful thing #vicious cycles basically #ANYWAY again if you read all this we're holding hands #cake answers #gabriel

something really important to how I want to portray svern is that it's Not an easy case of Svern has issues and those issues resulted in him turning out this way VS Svern turned out this way because of outside influences, but that it's an inextricable combination of the way he was wired from the beginning in tandem with the environment he grew up with, the people he was around, the way he was viewed, and the fact that any "help" he got acted as a double-edged sword

#this could have been avoided. but it wouldn't have been avoided. he did this to himself but with the guidance of other hands. etc #feeling normal about my oc again #like he's actively self destructive and generally terrible now but he wasn't always. he intentionally chose to be but also not just because #he Wanted to or he got something out of it to start with. he taught himself to like it and part of it was out of spite #nobody taught him a better way in a way that he could digest. which wasn't his fault but his choices are actively bad #and his whole defence against ppl being weird about him ended up being to double down and not see himself as wrong #so he refuses to get better because he refuses to see anything really wrong with himself. bc he doesn't give a shit #who opened the box (ooc)

well now that we know the cult is back, imma need some heavy bernard angst from the comic. the panic attacks, relapses into unhealthy behavior, pushing people away, imma need all of it.

#'but you're okay now?'#'some days.'#make that no days now bear #i need it to start off innocuously too. like he puts off a date or two claiming that he has homework. he's clumsier now. like he doesn't #care what's in front of him. he walks into a pole once and ends up with a huge bruise on his shoulder. bernard presses on it for weeks.#and then comes the 'it's just once. I'm not gonna do it again.' behavior. the purposeful pain. the dig his nails into his wrists until #it stings. the bandages on the inside of his thighs kinda pain.#the 'tim can never find out about this' type of unhealthy behavior.#i need bernard to escalate until he wakes up aching one day and it's like he's gone back in time to the beginning of his cult days.#i need him to look himself in the mirror one morning and realize that even if could stop hurting himself he's not going to.#i need him to start loitering around the old cult building knowing that it's wrong to wish they were still active but wanting it anyway.#i need him to go on several benders. so sorry but i think he has a fake id and definitely buys alcohol.#oh my god... wait wait wait!#i need him to go out one night after assuring tim that he's gonna go straight home and get kidnapped by the cult again.#oh my god he wakes up on the altar again. mouth filled filled with wine and his hands tied down and he-#he relaxes. because he was chosen the first time and now he been chosen again. he's still good. thank god thank god he's still good.#and the first time they chose him he was bad. struggled too much begged too hard to be let go. but he's better now.#they chose him. again. he won't fight it this time. he'll be good this time.#this is just your friendly reminder that #cult conditioning takes at /least/ 5 years to wear off. usually more.#my man bernard is gonna be having a Lot of bad days #anyway #bernard dowd #dc #td:r #timbern #ig

Deciding that ace discourse was useless and annoying has actually set back many people's ability to critically think about personal identities and recognize when an identity or an opinion about it is doing material and/or emotional harm

#current active thought #see the recent influx of people who hear that some folks are criticizing 'bi lesbianism' & go 'oh god not more discourse'#and insist there's nothing wrong with the label in a desperate attempt to suppress the discussion #because they don't want to see posts about it which would remind them that for their own convenience they chose to ignore material harm #note that this is not to say asexuality is inherently harmful. it is not. however the attempts to make it an lgbt identity are

i love how you get to see cassia’s prefrontal cortex develop in real time in wayward. she literally goes from “everything my brother has ever done since birth is a calculated manipulation designed to make me feel bad and bring shame on our family” to “wait maybe my brother stole my toys when he was seven because he was, uh…seven” in the span of 500 pages

#witherward #wayward #cassia sims #not to cassia post AGAIN #but i think this is also important context re: why she doesn’t forgive gedeon #arguably the most important thing cassia realises in wayward is that a lot of her resentment towards alana and ollivan is misdirected anger #because she feels like she lacks agency in her life #it takes a long time for her to realise that blaming ollivan doesn’t change anything and actually makes things worse #so the fact that cassia resolutely does not forgive gedeon in witherward is important #because it means she recognises gedeon actively chose to do something wrong #vs him being pushed into a role by his family or society #this is why i think cassia hallucinated ollivan and not gedeon btw #because she seems to be ashamed and upset about the argument #which would fit more with ollivan (who she knows now was never really to blame for what she resented him for)#as opposed to gedeon who actually wronged her and deserves to be yelled at lmao #oh hannah mathewson. i love you
