Well, now. How about that. Ben Edlund tweeting about metaphysical concepts he used while brainstorming spn. Ideas that have been part of the show a long time, there's been plenty of meta posted about these concepts btw. Something some fans were mocked for pointing out and analyzing those concepts in relationship to story, characters, relationships, and themes.
It's all about the souls. It has been for a long time on spn.
Screaming crying laughing. Dean's soul becoming angel 2.0.
This is what I meant when I've talked about how recontextualizing can repair a story (we don't know if Ben is going to be involved in the revival or not, but these are canonical concepts already in use in spn since Kripke era, which got more obvious in late seasons, and Ben's takes are making me tingly).
Even if no hard retcon, adding to the story, expanding, movement forward can help repair shortfalls in execution and ease for some fans the disappointments and hurt of the aired ending.
I love to bully Apollo for the decisions he makes, but tbh heโs incredibly well adjusted by the end of TOA all things considered.
If my father forcefully underdeveloped my brain to that of a sixteen year old and threw me to the wolves, I would have turned the gas stove on at the next solstice meeting and walked out of Olympus.

The beauty of the pumpkin head joke is that the true joke is TELLING the joke to people.
For those who donโt know it, this is the joke:
A man with a pumpkin for a head walks into a bar. The bartender exclaims: โMy god, Iโm sorry, but WHAT happened to your head?โ
The man sighs and says, โSo I found a genie in a bottle who granted me three wishesโฆโ
Bartender: โOk, well what were the wishes?โ
Man: โWell, my 1st wish was for 100 million dollars. AND I GOT IT!!โ
Bartender: โWOW! Okayโฆwhat was the 2nd wish?โ
Man: โFor the 2nd wish, I asked for the most beautiful woman in the world to fall in love with meโฆAND I GOT THAT TOO!โ
Bartender: โIncredible! So thenโฆwhat was the 3rd wish?โ
Man: โNow seeโฆthatโs where I really messed upโฆ
I asked for a giant pumpkin headโ

Apollo will fall. But Apollo must rise again.
There are many types of best friends. Some besties are complete opposites, others would have hated each otherโs guts without their experiences together. Some are childhood buddies, and some met much later in life. But each one has similarities and are important.
For me, writing the relationship between two characters is the best part of writing, but for othersโฆ it may be difficult.So here are some tips!
Good Moments
Each friendship should have a few good moments in the book. This helps show why their friends and how their relationship works, also provides some clarity on their personalities.
The moments could be bantering between one another. Perhaps teasing, or helping the other cope. It could be anything that isnโt negative. They could be doing an activity together, even if itโs silent. They could be having a meaningful conversation; this is useful for explaining exposition to readers as well ๐.ย
But be careful. You canโt just be sprouting meaningful conversations out of nowhere.Itโs best to give hints at their relationship in the first or second chapter you meet them. Build the base of their bond.
The good moments should be consistent with their personalities or situation. Character A maybe should not be teasing their bestie a chapter after their dad died.ย
Arguments
Disagreements between friends are inevitable. Its bound to happen, therefor conflicts are needed in your story. Your characters are people, and have their own opinions. And those opinions are not identical to their companionโs.
But, unless thereโs a good reason and its believable, they should always make up. You chose how to do this, their your characters.
Reading Each Other'sย Mind
I do not mean literally. And it may not be constant, but best friends (especially if they knew each other for years) should be able to predict each otherโs emotions, actions (some if not most of them), and reactions. These buddies should know when not to cross the line, (of course people always make mistakes so take that into account.).
Maybe the besties know each other so well they can synchronize. I am thinking of a team, fighting on the battlefield, fortelling eachothers moves and working together. This can also work for sports teams, charades, and attempting to not to die.
Relationshipย Development
This does not go for everyone. Some people and their relationships donโt change. But growth never hurts, and can in fact help your story to have some development.ย
Example: say if character A realizes she does not appreciate character B, in some form. This changes their relationship because now character A listens to character Bโs thoughts.
People and their bonds change. They grow and evolve, so itโs realistic to have growth to you story.
This is all I got! Thank you for reading, and have a FANTASTIC DAY! Iโm posting soon!
I think Gi-hun from Squid Game is Neuro divergent. That is all ladies, gentlemen,and nonbinaries. Good night
some natsu redesigns except my nostalgia prevents me from making a true redesign because im constantly stuck in between "i want to remake him from SCRATCH/but i want him to be still very close to how i knew him as when i was a kid" so instead he just gets an outfit redesign cuz his fashion sense was as nonexistent as his shirt.
ill die on the crop top natsu hill
anyway y'all, im mad they never gave him a cool dragonifcation or explored the fact he is apparently a demon dragon or whatever that much so i will instead. i also remember kid me being so disappointed during the jellal fight cuz his scales were skin colored and not red ๐คฃ and i was thinking maybe like this is the first stage or smthn and he'll get worse and worse, proceeding to look more inhuman and like a dragon but no.
dragon cry was a godsend, but like it was a bit late.

I donโt know what this is. I like it tho, so I guess that Iโll just leave it here.
This fandom needs more content. Any content.
