I Loved The Plushia Flower Arrangement - I Need To Get My Hands On One Of Those Things…

Emotional at work and probably (most definitely) way too deep into this whole thing, but... Papa V seems a lot like Tobias making peace with the past and the unpleasant things (lawsuit, near failure of the project therefore) in the past.

Where Copia was initially the anger, spite and disappointment he felt, until he grew on him and turned into something/someone so positive and warm - a really wonderful turn and message in itself -, putting a very harsh end to the previous era(s), implementing a lot of new visuals... Papa V does the opposite.

We get Primos glittery robe front, Secondos staff in the artwork, Terzos purple and claws (and parts of the face paint) and Copias chest jewelry and cape style.

It feels like Tobias made peace with it and is, kind of, reclaiming these parts? And honoring the past Papas in a wonderful (and super cunty) way.

And I absolutely love it.

(again, I'm probably reading way too much into it, sue me, I'm emotional about my Swedish satanic comfort band)

A begrudging Happy Valentine's to you all! Stay safe out there, my fellow aromantics ...

ratched spoilers //

the show gave me a comp het storyline in a character played by someone over 45 which is my biggest weakness. if i think too hard about it i have to go and have a nap or get hysterical

This was hilarious, and very in line with my thoughts regarding the series post finale. Considering the whole ‘spare room’ prison cell situation with Shadow Weaver, it’s a bit unlikely the reformed villains will actually be sent to jail or brutally punished in any way. I appreciate how (understandably) weary they are about Hordak though - it makes sense within the world it is set in.

Hordak  Needs a Word with Scorpia

A small bit of Hordak interacting with princesses after the fall of Prime.

Should start adding that I don’t own any of these characters? It’s just my deluded fantasies about how things happen after the end of the show.

Hordak felt old.

He wasn’t, not really, not for his kind. Now that he had reconnected with the greater universe and had access to a real calendar, he discovered he had actually spent roughly thirty-five galactic cycles on this backwater planet. Thirty-five years was nothing.

Yet he looked around and there were children everywhere. Children he had a hand in raising. Adora running and laughing with Catra across the garden below the balcony he stood on. She was all grown now. Catra, always such an angry child, had found some measure of peace. One of his brothers sat next to a fountain with the young ice princess while the net one and her tornado partner told some dramatic story. Scorpia sat in the middle of an apparent explosion of wildflowers talking to the blonde peace-monger.

He really ought to learn their names.

Entrapta had taken the young archer to work on some sort of communications array from a salvaged ship. He had wanted to go with her but, some part of him didn’t want to step foot on one of Prime’s ship’s again. He just couldn’t. She hadn’t questioned it, she just, accepted. Then she left him here, surrounded by children.

His gaze came back to Scorpia. There were some things he needed to do anyway. “Force Captain Scorpia, could I have a word?”

Those bitches in Cabin 9...

Canon

I had to figure out comparative Raimi-verse and Webb-verse character strength for a fic once and found out that this scene:

has absolutely bonkers implications (and is also physically impossible).

For reference, the thing that's attached to the other end of that cable he's holding is a pre-2010 Roosevelt Tramway car. It weighs 18,300 pounds, or 9.16 tons, when empty, and it is currently loaded (though I'll be ignoring the weight of the passengers in this post for the sake of easier math). That is an absolutely insane amount of weight to hold one-handed, and he's not bracing or shifting his weight to counter it at all.

This means that Norman is much, much stronger than the 800% increase in strength promised by the performance enhancers. I don't know exactly how the ratios translate, but if Norman can hold 9 tons without effort in one hand, he can probably bench press two or three times that. Eight times the current unequipped bench press record is 6,256 pounds, or 3.12 tons, roughly a third of the weight he is currently supporting. And Peter is capable of beating Norman hand-to-hand, which requires a rough parity in strength. Therefore, Peter is also absolutely insanely strong. They're both closer to Thor's weight class than to Captain America's.

So much for the overanalysis of what this single shot means for Norman and Peter's abilities. Here's where we get to what makes the scene impossible: weight ratios. Norman is not sticky, like Peter. He does not have foot clamps on the bridge like he does on his glider. There is no physical way that a 180-190 pound dude, however inhumanly strong, can hold that much weight without skidding right off of the bridge into freefall. By all rights, this should not be a shot of the Green Goblin standing menacingly over Peter Parker, it should be a shot of a green blur getting yanked off the side of the Queensboro Bridge by the force generated by 9.15 tons of falling metal, and that absolutely cracks me up laughing.

Because I need some Kami appreciation amongst all the later era posters. I feel I am selling Gackt a bit short here - I love him too.

Illuminati is such a banger. I’m going to ignore whatever the lyrics translate to - and any implications associated - and simply enjoy myself here…

MALICE MIZER

Illuminati visuals;

Merveilles

That is so heart-wrenching. I love it.

You should give it a read, it hurts really good :'0
