Me Trying To Write Chapter 2 To A Fic I Initially Planned As A Oneshot

I genuinely think the writers were at least hinting at Kaziver in S1 of Mighty Med, but Disney told them to tone it down.

Reblog if its ok to spam you with boops

Amazing headline

I’m so mad at season 4, how dare they kill JJ? I watched it ages ago and I was so furious. I went back onto ao3 to see people’s perspectives on JJ’s death and I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Since they did kill him off - and I stand by that they could’ve done that better, having Groff be the one kill him was so awful and I could go on but I won’t.

JOHN B SHOULDVE BEEN BAWLING. THEYVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR YEARS AND THAT WAS IT??????

It should’ve been so much more. There should’ve been so much more emotion. Yeah I get Kie is was the girlfriend but JB was his best friend for so long they’ve been through so much together and idk but I was hoping for a super emotional death, not just John B just kneeling there.

I was looking forward to more jj and shoupe content but that won’t be happening (thanks to one fic, I’ve absolutely craved more of those two)

I’m so glad the fandom is writing about those final moments and putting so much emotion into it, I love you all

It was a simple mission; they’d done countless variations of this before. A coven of witches attacking a dragon's hoard and Rory's team was sent to deal with it.

It was supposed to be a simple mission. The witches were supposed to have wands, not swords. They definitely weren’t supposed to be able to disarm Chase, and lunge for a kill strike.

My first ever published work on ao3, if it was going to be any fandom, it was this one.

the six types of friends within found family tropes (according to me)

I came up with this in bed at 2 am... enjoy(?)

the gay one

the “I know this plan is gonna turn out bad but i’m still gonna go through with it”

the “if i don’t have a sip of alcohol in five minutes i’m gonna kill myself” 

the “i swear guys THEY'RE the one...”

the “i have underlying mommy/daddy issues and i need to see someone about it”

the “how can i scam my way out of this” 

(these can overlap)

have i told you guys about the time that i classically conditioned my kindergarten class

What's interesting to me about Jod and his relationship with the kids by the end of the series is that it's so in-between.

It's not "actually I've come to care for these kids and I will give up my plan to protect them" but it's also not just that he's evil and doesn't care about them.

He does betray them and he does a lot of harm. He threatens them and their families and their home in a very genuine and traumatic way. He brings destruction and danger down on their home. He does not make the turn to help them or side with them against the other pirates. He stays on his course, stays a bad guy.

But at the same time, as much as he threatens them (in the pirate horde, in the ship and on At Attin) and their family, he doesn't actually hurt them. (in fact I think the only ones we see him actually physically hurt are 1. SM-33. 2. The werewolf pirate guy 3. the supervisor droid). And I don't know that the threats are empty, but he's certainly very reluctant to actually enact that violence, and his plan might not have fallen through if he had been more willing to hurt them. He's not willing to stop for the sake of the kids, but he'd much rather get through his plan without harming them. And when he KB is falling and he thinks she probably died there is real fear and regret in his face. He didn't want that.

All of this is an outpouring of his misguided worldview. Because again, Jod isn't a villain who can't recognize right and wrong. He knows what Good is, he's seen it. But his problem is despair so he believes that Good is not worth it, and is not powerful enough to make a difference. And because of that he becomes the manifestation of the cruel place he believes the world to be. The good in him is THERE but its not strong enough to really change him, but it's because his despair doesn't believe it can be. And so he becomes the very thing that made him-- he watched his mentor/parental figure killed in front of him, and he stands there threatening to do the same thing to Wim and Fern.

But he doesn't, because he isn't quite the villain that the Empire represents. Even though the difference doesn't come from him actively making a choice for Good, it does come from there being Good still in him, even just in the form of hesitation. Good is still powerful even when he's denying it. And then little ember in him is not what saves the day--that's the kids and their families and the New Republic. But it is there and it does mean that even though he stays a villain there is that moment of Wim calling out to him, there is still that spark of hope that Jod can be saved one day too.

every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt
