Stede not being cut out for the pirate life when he was on the ship out at sea, b e i n g a p i r a t e.

But Stede handling himself perfectly and being all feral and pirate-y while back on land. Him being able to talk about death without exploding. Him putting a knife to Doug’s throat without a second thought. The oomf. The oomf that Blackbeard taught him. The “Now that’s a fuckery.” LIKE COME ON

i was always wondering why steven’s accent sounded kinda weird. like it felt kinda out of place. and steven also over uses british slang. like a lot.

then i realized that steven’s britishness is based on marc’s subconscious idea of britishness.

marc is the host personality, as he fronts the most.

i did some research on DID for this post, but i’m not an expert or anything so forgive me if i say something wrong.

“These perceptions about oneself which originate from diverse perspectives, aggregate around multiple foci. Related emotions, thoughts, and behavior styles are linked to these foci over time. These aggregates become alter personalities following repeated utilization.”

so steven was formed from an american mind? and that’s why he’s so stereotypically british?? right???

imma bout to drink a whole bottle a cough syrup and fucking astral project myself to saturn

i was handcrafted by god (she/her) to be and only to be some five year old kid’s imaginary friend.

i’m not cut out for the real world.

i can’t do this shit anymore.

The Pevensie children are too old for their age.

Their mom notices, at the dinner table. She sees no nagging children, no stupid fights. She sees Lucy eating and speaking with perfect manners, Edmund analysing the economy and war with concerning skill, Susan being gracious but poised, like a diplomat.

Their father sees it in Peters eyes the first time they get into a fight. When he moves to punish Edmund for speaking out of turn, Peter calls him out on it. When his gaze meet his eldest son's, he's leveled by the war he sees behind it, the tensed muscle in his arm, the knuckles white around his knife. He's seen that before, in other soldiers. He doesn't know how to react.

Other children notice, too. Talking to all the Pevensie kids at the same time is like being the only one left out of a secret, and the way they touch and tease each other speaks of a history far deeper than their polite demeneor lets on. And when they walk they fall in line, as if there is a natural hierarchy between them.

The first time anyone picks a fight with Edmund, Peter comes home with a three week suspension and blood around his mouth. He looks more alive than you've seen him in weeks.

When Susan gets back in the pool after Narnia, she wins all the contests. Coaches can't explain how to beat her, because they don't understand how she's doing it, either. She seems to almost disappear when underwater.

Lucy, always gay and golden-haired, starts dancing, and never misses a step. She moves with an elegance that no 10 year old should have, and all the girls want to be friends with her

Edmund soon becomes the best student in his faculty. He always seems to know the right thing to say, and teachers laud his ability to think through complex problems. His mouth does get him in trouble sometimes, but the boy seems uncatchable, always talking his way through the cracks. And if not?

No one actively fears Peter, but everyone is a little scared of him sometimes. He's tall for his age, sure, but there is something else, some other air that seems to give him an authority far beyond what's normal for a teenage boy. He's nice enough, but teachers can't stand it, and bullies learn very quickly that pissing him off means missing teeth and black eyes.

The Pevensies are not quite inhuman, but not fully mortal, either

stranger things spoilers

imagine eddie, dying, being held in dustin’s arms. he’s joking around like he does. maybe he knows he’s dying and he’s trying to make dustin smile one more time. maybe he doesn’t know.

but somewhere in that goofy final monologue, the tone changes. he gets a bit more somber and drops his smile as he looks up at the red sky, just past dustin’s gaze. and he simply says, “i see fire”. (i know it’s cheesy but come on. lord of the rings.)

mostly because, as he said, he left the burning shire and went straight to the fires of mordor, but steve robin and nancy were also burning vecna.

that’s all. i hope it makes sense.

MoM spoilers

it is said that the book of vishanti gives someone exactly what they need to defeat their enemy. doctor strange and america were looking for something material and concrete, something to give them an answer, a weapon, guidelines, something more than just the two of them.

i didn’t notice until my second watch, but when wanda destroyed the book, there was one page that stuck out. it shriveled up and floated away, as if saying “hey look at me!”

what was on that page? a star

what’s america’s symbol? a star

she was all they needed all along. and she was ultimately what saved them and the world and the multiverse.
