You know I do think it's interesting how strongly Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) makes the point that bringing someone back from the dead is inherently selfish.

I've seen it elsewhere but not nearly as unequivocally and plainly put. First, we have Majhal in episode 4 - an alchemist so obsessed with bringing back his dead love, he completely fails to notice that she survived and returned to him. And even once the truth is revealed... he rejects her, since she's not the ~perfect girl~ from his memories, but an old woman - an actual person, with an actual life.

And if you missed it there, we then meet Tucker, so obsessed with keeping his lifestyle and success as a State Alchemist he does, you know, that. And then he goes on to become obsessed with bringing her back - but not her, not really, as he straight-up tells Ed in the 5th laboratory - he wants the girl from his memories, the perfect, unchanging doll.

Both times, we see that those obsessed with bringing someone back from the dead aren't interested in bringing back a person, with thoughts and feelings and their own independent life to live - no, they want their idea of that person, the glowing angel who could never change, never grow, and never go wrong. And that also goes for Ed and Izumi too - Ed was so obsessed with bringing his mother back that he ignored Pinako, ignored the family that took him in, and selfishly put his brother's life at risk... for which he paid the price. Izumi lost her ability to have future children, any of them, stuck on a dream on the child she could have had. Both didn't want that mother/child - they wanted their loved ones, the ones they dreamed of, not the ones that were actually there.

Most times resurrection is brought up in media, it's with the lesson that "oh, the cost is too high", "oh, you're disturbing their rest", "oh, they don't come back right." It's rare to see it put so clearly, so obviously, so horrifically that actually, no, even the fact that you attempt it - even the fact that you want to - is an inherently selfish act, that turns your back on life and the living to chase a dream that may not have ever existed.

It's an interesting take on the whole idea, of death and life and memory and obsession. For all that 2003 dropped the ball on the ending, I do love the development they gave to the characters!

I can't draw but I can picture this in my head rn. Juno (as in Greek goddess Juno) sad on this in the modern day. A MASSIVE office with that behind her lavish but undecorated desk. Infront of her are Eros and Psyche or some other unfortunate couple who are forced to listen to her wedding plans for them.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. have I said omg because oh my fucking god. This is incredible. I wish to consume your art. If I had the money I would have it as a tramp stamp. You made the pheonix plume pretty. HOW. I wish I had something to trade you with besides me freaking out over how cool this is

Thinking about one post here that I read a few years back, where, instead of Aang surviving the air nomad genocide, he dies with them, and the Avatar is reincarnated along the cycle, and by the time of the show, the Avatar is now in the Fire Nation, and it's. Zuko. And I cannot stop thinking about how funny this is as a concept. The same guy who yelled at the sky to strike lightning at him. That's the Avatar now.

Zuko realises he's the avatar whilst out at sea and is like "OH! I've done it I've found the avatar...I'M THE AVATAR! I can finally help father and reclaim my honour by serving my nation" and starts charting a course for home. And next to him Iroh is breaking down realising he has to tell his son nephew that his father will kill him the moment he even implys that he's the avatar. And that's the 'nicest' thing he'll do. Most likely he'll lock Zuko away so that the cycle doesn't continue but also that Zuko isn't a political threat. Fake his death ya know. Maybe he might even force Zuko into the avatar state before killing him so he realllly kills the cycle.

Avatar where everything is the same except zuko has a glass eye.

I say everything’s the same, it wouldn’t be. Specifically during the water tribe arcs and potentially the desert he’d struggle cuss I assume having a glass eye is dangerous in terms of hypothermia. Like an eye getting to dry or to teary must be dangerous. Plus artificial eyes need to be cleaned and that must be a bit hard in the desert what with all the sand……. This is a fantastic idea for a cannon divergence zuko joins the gang during season 1 fic oh god.

something something the gang continues fighting supernatrual problems within the town, even going to universitys near each other/ the same one so they can continue working as a group since it's fun. Eventually they face another creature that causes them to experience their greatest fears and Ethan is forced to fortell the future over and over and watch as none of his friends ever belive him. He realises that his greatest fear has evolved from being alone, to being with people but never heard, because isn't that worse? to be seen but to never be listened to?

Anyway they deal with the super natrual creature and alls okay and they start beliving Ethan again but it still FUCKS with him.

ps if you see how I just wrote ethan into casandras position (without the "no Apollo I do not want to have sex with you omg" moment), shhh no you didn't.

I love how you went straight to Greek mythology because originally I was itching to talk about it but I held back since…well I always go to Greek mythology. BUT! you have given me reason.

Focusing on how you connected werewolves into this (I love it) I'm thinking of the myth of Lycaon where he sacrificed a child on an altar/ tried to feed Zeus human flesh (strangely common occurrence I'll add) and was punished by being turned into a wolf. This myth also then was MAYBE used to explain a festival/ceremony that involved sacrificing a wolf that was maybe thought to be a werwolf. What I'm saying is that theres defo a basis for the idea of werewolves steming from atleast a goddly curse whether that is a greek god or not.

Linking to that: I THINK its at that same festival I mentioned but it's written that people would turn into wolves after performing sacrifices towards Zeus. If the wolf managed to not consume human flesh whilst living as a wolf they would return to human form 9 years later, if not they'd remain that way forever. I think this idea of consuming other people being what keeps this beastly form is (yes symbolic of the idea of stepping beyond the lines of civilisation and into the 'barbaric' act of canibalism) very intresting when we view it as a link to vampires and how when they first taste human blood they shift from fledgling to propper vampire. Even though the wolves in mbav don't have that same "bite a man and your a wolf forever" it would make perfect sense for that to have been a sure thing somewhere within their genetic history. Alternatively maybe the wolves DO still have that ability but we just never saw it cuss Ethan was cured within days and the other guy…well he bit Ethan so it isn't looking good in terms of healing.

moving away from werewolves and focusing on Apollo (kind of) I think it's really interesting to see the vampires ability to wolf in sunlight as a blessing from Apollo. I haven't currently got any thoughts to add to that beyond its a great idea I just wanted you to know I loved it.

You also mentioned how if Ethan would take on the role as an Apollo 'child' (or follower) then Benny would be the Hermes/Dionysus pairing. I offer you this: Ethan as Apollo, Benny as Hermes, Rory as Dionysus. I put Rory with Dionysus since Dionysus is twice born, he's heavily linked with the idea of walking beyond the line of society which as a vampire works pretty well with Rory. Also wine and blood. Benny as Hermes is a slightly awkward fit (like putting a square into a rectangle hole on a baby toy. yes it works, but is the BEST choice?) but I think it works well from the idea that Hermes is like Apollo in how people just went "ahh shit we got another territory…let's just slap it on hermes and carry on with our day" so as such he has a collection of kinda random things, which I think works pretty well with how unorganised Bennys magic is and how random the spells he uses. Like theres no rhyme or reason as to what Benny learns he just goes "yeah I wanna do that today" and he does it. Also as a trickster (thinking of the myth were he steals cows by turning their hoves backwards) Hermes and benny work well. This paragraph has no reason to exist I just love rambling.

ANYWAY onto what I was actually going to add: I always have a bad habit of linking seers to Tiresias specifically (which….actually kind of sucks cuss the main Tiresias myth I see is his origin where it's ZEUS who gives him prophecy in response to Hera blinding him). This linkage for me always added to that vampire seer mixed genetic makeup since my introduction to him was through Oedipus and the Odyssey (I'm not gonna expand to much but Oedipus is actually usefull here aswell since it's Apollo who sent the plauge and also the prophecy and both Tiresius and Delphi. Plague, healing, society, prophecy, it all blends well and shows that shared connection). The odyssey is always the fun one cuss we meet him when he's already dead. Odysseus sacrifces a lamb when he's in Hades to allow the souls to drink the blood and for a moment regain both their human memorys and their feelings. WIthout that blood the ghosts walk as shadows of their formers selves, barely recognisable as human beyond their forms. This idea of humanity being regained through the consumption of blood is SO intresting and tricky from a symbolic pov but for this theory I'm just gonna say that this is where I link vampires in specifically since its perfect.

BUT! You mentioned Apollo, which to me my mind goes straight to Delphi. This addition isn't going to expand the genetic family tree but it is going to explain a bit on Seers specifically. Historically it's been understood that the oracles in Delphi were all experiencing brain damage and hallucinations from the volcanic gas under the area and also a nearby lake which released hallucinogenic vapour (they'd most likely wash in the lake either their whole bodies or their hands and feat as a religious cleansing. Some would also sleep outside near the lake to get dream visions). For the my babysiters a vampire universe I'll say that the Oracles were both real AND experiencing this damage since we know the supernatural exists. This idea of prophecy being directly linked to bodily harm from the outside world is brain itching when we assume that the seers of Ethans day have seem to evolved beyond having to evoke a God directly, almost as if they have evolved to do it off their own power OR the act of prophecy is the direct worship and evokation. Either way, it's evolved beyond Delphi, but if we watch Ethans reaction he almost seizes up and his eyes white out, it's a physical reaction. I would almost bet that as the visions became stronger or if Ethan found other powers the reaction of his body would worsen or even deteriorate. Which would then link to my earler thing of Seers functioning of the blood they create themselves which then leads to shorter lifespans than other supernatrual creatures or potential dysabilitys.

Also I love how mythology can be treated as an accurate source within mbav because of the mummy episode and the sun god episode. Though both those religions existing implies all religions potentially exist which makes for a very interesting and messy accurate religion which I will NEVER try to understand.

Even if we draw from Ancient Egyptian mythology (must admit, I am weaker in this than Greek since I'm not doing a degree in it so some of this might be a bit washy but we power through) theres a very interesting idea with Vampires (not as in literal vampires, just the thematic connections). Osiris is the god of death (after his own…not so peaceful death) with his son (who may have been conceived post-mortem….this has no baring to the theory I just need people to suffer this knowledge with me) Horus being seen as a god of healing, sun, and sky. You also then have Isis who was Osiris's wife and Horus's mother who was like…THE Goddess of healing. That connection just creates a very intresting cycle of life and death which vampires seem to be stuck in the middle off

This is gonna be a mish mash of cultures and ideas so bare with me. In eastern Europe (specificly slavic countrys) the vampire was an almost ghostly spirit rather than our common undead sexy friend. They were trixters to some extent, spread disease but in the way rats do rather than the specific bite we know. They also didn't consume blood. So this is the technical truth aspect of this idk 'theory' (but more headcannon I suppose). From this, I headcannon, it evolved into two specific paths: the vampire as we know and the seer. Both evolved to revolve around blood since blood is commonly seen as a holder of the human spirit and life force making it a very powerful energy source. Vampires evolved specifically as almost undead creatures, focusing on that ghostly aspect and almost making the souls haunt the dead body in such a way that it becomes 'imortal'. The sucking of blood is to create a constant source of energy to power the 'possession' and inturn their existence- like food for us. The 'infectious bite' then becomes a combination of corpse germs and supernatual infliction that continues to create vampires- something their ancestor obviously did not have due to the lack of biting and corperal form. on the otherhand, seers found their powersource in blood by creating their own. Specifically in having a functioning human body. The living body acts as a conduit for the supernatural power wich is displayed by divination and prophecy, what which ghosts being conected to the past and human life being seen as something of the future. This ghostly ancestor also explains why Ethan can see ghosts when touching their objects, he's channeling that energy. Of course if having a living body was such an easy way to have blood the vampire would have done it too, the problem with using your own body as a conduit continuously is that it starts to degrade over time either with natural circumstance like being old as shit and dying, or your body contracting ilnesses. It's has it's ups and downs. anyway the idea of a common ancestor is so intresting to me, especially since in the few mythologys I research prophecy and disease are strangely commonly linked. And I mean blood has ALWAYS been apart of seeing the future, think of literally any form of animal sacrifice amongst religions. Or how in some underworld storys the souls must consume the blood of a sacrifice (not necessarily human!) to be able to comunicate.

I'm feeling you, I understand completely. Also that mention of seers having vampiric origins has created a brainworm in my head omg I need to go do some fucking research

Okay so Ethan drank the Supernatural all cure and he was still a seer after, I feel like this tells us something but I can't quite articulate what right now

the least funny idea in my brain rn is that the vampire council had to impose flying trafic lights because vampires kept crashing in the air and falling to the ground. They run off mage magic and have bi-monthly inspections (where a mage sits on the back of a vampire for a very uncomfortable couple of hours). Tbf this also implys that vampires have to pay taxes to keep the traffic lights working and also that vampire insurance might exist but thats lame. I like to think the council see it as an investment since sky trafic laws means less falling vampires which means less news sites they have to pay to keep silent. It also stops fues from starting.

The way that I understood it was that supernatural creatures like Seers or witches/mages where encoded into their DNA. Like no matter what Ethan and Benny did there was no way to never NOT become these supernatural creatures (even if they did have special moments to 'unlock' this ability. Although for me it feels more akin to learning to run rather than magical girl transformation type unlocking but thats boring). On the otherhand things like vampirism or lycanthropy are similar to a disease but just....amplified. and so the miracle cure would then work as an almost super antibody rather than a purification of anything supernatural. It's a vacine not holy water ya feel? Although this view is also SOOO borring and basic so ya know ignore me.

His metaverse outfit has lifts in his shoes. He fluffs up his hair to add an extra inch in hight despite it looking bedraggled. He’s an ankle biter.

All of those “team cap comes back and just live off Tony’s wealth without care for him until finally someone shuts them up” has the exact same vibe as all the suitors just eating Odysseus out of home during his 20 years away from home. Especially since Odysseus comes home and kills them all. I've read a couple fics were Tony either kills or exiles them (somehow idk the logistics of that ever truly happening in the mcu)

Perhpas I'm misunderstanding this entire thing, but Loris pregnancy seems to be treated so cruely by the show in season 2. She has valid reasons of being worried about it, and a valid (though understandably problematic) reason to not tell Rick.

Yet when Rick shouts at her for not telling him, for taking the pills, for taking that choice from him...he's treated as the 'correct' side? Going as far for him to say "you threw them up you want this"...no. no that does not mean she wants this. We as viewers have just seen her have multiple on screen struggles with making the morally correct choice. we see her still struggle to make that choice seconds before swallowing them.

And I get Maggies anger at her- her hiding the pregnancy and the 'carless' sex she had almost endangered not only her but Glenns life. I get Glenn talking to her and giving her advice (but also making sure that she knows he isn't telling her what to do) because he's been forced to keep so many secrets and also risked his life. He comes to her with a respectful, friend type convosation where he urges her to tell but also understand that at the end of the day it is her choice. Beyond the shock and the pain of not knowing, Ricks reaction just screams male rage without listening to her genuine fears. Idk I just...It's so odd. It's a valid thing to get emotional over but the show seemingly agrees with Rick's side and beyond asking the question of 'what if' doesn't agree with her's like it does Ricks.

I'm sorry, but pregnancy isn't an easy thing in our normal world let alone in an apocalypse setting. Rick doesn't get a choice, it's not HIS ass whose being endangerd with 9 months of pregnancy, a childbirth in unsafe and unclean conditions, and then raising that kid. HE can leave- and he (probally?) won't but he COULD. The show treats the dicussion of her pregnancy as though it's set in our normal universe were as she treats it as a pregnancy in an apocalypse. And she is punished by both RIck and Shane for that outlook.

the walking dead intro music reminds me so much of teenwolf that sometimes I forget what show I have going on in the background. I hear it and I'm like "wow can't wait to see some teenage werewolves kill each other" and the next thing I know I'm hearing gun shots and people sobbing as their loved ones get bit.

Can’t lie Dido’s suicide is the best thing to happen to both Dido and (kinda) Aeneas. Cuss like listen okay Dido lusting over Aeneas is not his fault! It was the Gods work and then Dido’s sister that convinced her to act on her divine feelings.

Is Aeneas still kind of an ass? Yes. He still took her univera status from her, allowed her kingdom to collapse since she was following him like a duck, and then go on to denounce their (tbf unofficial) marriage . These aren’t great things but they also wouldn’t have happened without Juno, Venus and Cupid.

Anyway the reason why it’s good is cuss Dido gets to be with her husband- her one *true* love. The person she swore off men for. The person who even in death she craves to be in his arms! Like sorry but her suicide is what allowed her to return to him. Not to mention it’s what broke cupids spell AND brought her so much sympathy from Juno (who yes… is to blame) that she sent Iris to cut her life thread short. Ya know. BREAKING FATE! Her death is horrible but it’s also the kindest fate she could ever have once the Gods caught sight of her.

For Aeneas it’s not so much her suicide but the leaving, he does it for his son! It’s not even for himself he doesn’t care, mercury ‘manipulates’ Aeneas using his fatherhood and leader role against him to not only force him out of Carthage but to leave THEN and there. I mean come on, Aeneas isn’t pleased with Didos death, in book 6 he uselessly reached out to talk to her and in book 11 he buries his surrogate son, Pallas, in robes SHE gifted. He doesn’t forget her. Her last mention is with the son that he could never truly have. The family he could never have *because* of Rome. It’s depressing.

But it’s better than loving a man because the Gods forced you. It’s better than watching your kingdom slowly crumble around you and you not having the ability to care. It’s better than failing as a father and the carrier of your cultures future. It’s better than ignoring the call of the Gods.

A tired, sleepy, SUPER ununique addition to this: You're absolutely right! At any moment you can point to either Romantic love, Familial love, or patriotic love. With women like Dido, Creusa, and Andromache you can really see romantic love at its fullest. Dido's love for her husband is SO important and then her forced love of Aeneas is heartbreaking. Creusa might have died uselessly but she doesn't blame Aeneas and she continued loving him even in death. Additionally you have Nisus and Euryalus with their homosexuality and desire to die with eachother (even if it's a rekless desire). With Aeneas his entire journey is driven by fate, yes, but also his love for his people and son. When he’s told to leave Dido Mercury uses Ulus as the reason for WHY he should go, if Aeneas doesn’t he’ll be robbing him of his future. Additionally Aeneas has the epithet of ‘father’, he tenderly cares for his people and does want what's best. We could even take Turnus and his sister Juntara who ends up despising her imortal status because she is forced to live without ever hoping to see her brother again, even in hell. She spends most of book 12 trying to keep him away from his fate because she loves him so much. It’s a story of love and war because neither come without the other.

The patriotic love comes from Virgil himself. yes he was paid to write propaganda for Augustus, but he wrote something beyond that. he wrote a love letter to Rome in all its gore and glory. It's impossible for a man with such strong passion to not write about love.

the aeneid is about love btw. if you even care.

criminal minds see's their female characters and goes "how far can we push them" and doesn't wait for an answer.

yes this is focused on JJ and Emily because what the FUCK are their life stories. Genuinely for how bland JJ is as a character HOW DOES SHE HAVE ONE OF THE MOST INSANE CHARACTER PROGRESSON JOURNEYS OF THE CAST. She mothered to hard and had to be water boarded I guess.

And with Emily she's so...AHHH. SHE FAKES HER FUCKING DEATH. what normal person would do that. Once again she mothered to hard.

I get that the Doyel episodes are like...Emily centric or whatever. But In lauren it has SUCH a sweet arc for Derek. From being angry that Emily never revealed the truth, feeling almost ashamed that she could never trust him, to confessing that he is proud of her as she DIES in his arms? Like okay she doesn't die, but from his understanding she is close to death and then DOES eventually 'die'. Like that transition is insane and it's so in character.

He's always has a more logical way of treated the unsubs and the people in cases with the ocasional diversion from this treatment. He's also very heavy in his ideas of trust and family. And he puts all that aside and focuses on that one idea of family, because it doesn't matter about being logical in this instant, all that matters is that she understands that even arfter everything that has happened she is still his family and his friend. They can work this out in the future, but for that to happen she has to stay clinging to life and its just...It's really sweet. Sometimes I write Derek off as having a very lacking character arc compared to other characters but I think I'm very wrong about that, its subtle but its consistent and common in the episodes.

If Ethan had turned into a werewolf forever I would bet on my life that Benny would make some kinda joke about witches familars.

Something stupid like "well I'm finally a propper witch now- though I did expect a cute kitten rather than a slobbering best friend. Oh well I'll take what I can".

the most unrealistic thing of season 4 episode 8 masterpeice is that....no one seemed to know the golden ratio??? besides spencer???

these people arn't idiots. Yet they have Spencer explain what the fuck the golden ratio is to them. on one hand I get it, explaining HOW he knew, on the other hand....it seems unrealistic for him to go "its this- commonly know this- and blah blah" WITHOUT someone going "No yeah we know what this is".

Cuss the golden ratio isn't some unique special only found in masters math level content. Its taught in year 3. It's found everywhere. It's one of the easiest recognisable patterns that's used in everything. And your telling me it took some shitty powerpoint type editing for Spencer to get the link. and for him to then explain it like he's talking to todlers for them to get it.

It's almost Ironic how pretentious this episode trys to come across whilst also having one of the shoddiest plots from the early seasons. cuss thats a perfect description of the killer. It's so fucking funny that I HAVE to assume its intentional.
