YIN and YANG, SUN and MOON… Sasuke and Naruto 💕

[ it’s actually a love story ]

[ID: Naruto fanart. The first shows Sasuke leaning over Naruto at the end of VOTE1; Naruto is unconscious, and Sasuke looks tired and miserable as rain pours around them. The second has the same composition, but now they're adults, and Naruto is leaning over Sasuke with a big grin as Sasuke smiles back sweetly, laying in a flowery field. End ID]

my headcanon about the alternate timeline we see in s2ep7 is that instead of ekko and powder being close friends throughout their childhoods who became lovers with no friction, it actually took a while for them to bridge the gap that vi's death caused.

when we see ekko and powder go to vi's memorial for the first time and ekko asks if she was the one who caused their death, powder very quickly retorts that it was ekko's tip that ended up sending them on the job that killed her. i think that this is important not just because the writers wanted to explicitly say that the chain of events that led to the original timeline hinged on ekko's tip but also because in how quickly she said it, we can assume that this is something that's come up between them before.

ekko already is seen as a character who carries a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders, mostly self-ascribed, which i tend to characterize as being born partially of guilt. i think guilt is a large part of his character and it would be somewhat irresponsible to shrug that off when speaking about his character in the alternate timeline that the original ekko drops in on.

powder is characterized as brighter and happier than jinx when she grows up in this universe with a support system, obviously, but she still has a tendency to anger. this is shown through how she tells ekko to get out before she does something she'll regret rather than rolling over in the face of his interrogation and insensitive statements. she also holds a grudge, as we see it takes ekko physically taking her to see vi's painted memorial in the firelight lair before she stops scowling at him in the bar and warms up to him again.

looking at all of these things, i think it's a fair assumption to make that following vi's death, there was a period of time where powder directly blamed ekko for what happened, and that ekko blamed himself as well. this, in my opinion, doesn't cheapen their relationship when they grow up into the people we see in s2ep7, but deepens it.

i think the act of forgiving is something that takes a long time, whether you're forgiving yourself or someone else, and ekko and powder's relationship being as comfortable and easy as it is in s2ep7 speaks to the fact that they had a long stretch of time to get to that space where they could move past the circumstances that led to vi's death. at least, they both do until original timeline ekko drops in and reopens that wound, which in turn leads powder to throw blame back in his face, similarly to how i assume she must have done directly following vi's passing.

the idea that powder and ekko in this alternate timeline had to move past anger, grief, guilt, and blame makes their relationship feel more heartfelt than if they were locked in since day one and there was no more work to be done. love as something that has to be earned and worked for even in a world where things seem mostly ideal shows that it wasn't just a fluke that they got together but a deliberate continuous choice to work through trauma to allow themselves to be together.

it also legitimizes the idea that original timeline ekko and jinx could hypothetically be together as well. not just because we see "oh, one version of powder and ekko can get together so this one can, too" but because both versions have baggage to work past before getting together, but the universe we see displays how this pair managed that with the luxury of a support system and a kinder environment that original timeline ekko and jinx unfortunately weren't afforded.

i think this also makes their team-up in s2ep9 more heartfelt because we can see ekko move past blame when he comes back for jinx to help in the fight, similarly to how i assume ekko in the alternate timeline had to work through his own to eventually get together with powder. both relationships hinge on the fact that they have to put effort in to get comfortable with each other following the consequences of the job that ekko sent them on rather than letting the alternate universe relationship ultimately act as a fluke that can't be replicated because of how drastically different that world is.

Okay y’all, some ‘Why The Plumbers Ain’t Shit’ in a nice, easy to understand list

11-yo gets thrown into maximum security adult prison (’but achi he is Powerful’ and power limiters are fucking canon and shown to be able to render even him managable)

14-yo is not only accepted into the Academy but becomes a full fledged Plumber (hello child labor)

In fact multiple underage teens are accepted into the Academy and become full fledged Plumbers

Magister comes to Earth to investigate allegations of vigilantism, finds trio of teenagers fighting off invasion, makes no move to help them with it (which is, if later episodes involving invasions are accurate, his job) beyond deputizing them and fucking off

Man actively tells his grandchildren to recruit other children to fight off an invasion rather than get in touch with other Plumbers even within their family and soon ends up running the system (nope, that’s not a sign of bullshit, when someone recruits children for war over involving other adults and is rewarded for it)

Man is fired from Plumbers? Entire family can no longer turn to law enforcement when needed

Plumber steals from Plumbers? Fire him. Investigate no further, not even to find the stolen items.

Plumber official walks into base, admits to performing illegal experiments on children and making them into child soldiers using Plumber funding in front of God and everyone? Do nothing until his victims wreck his entire shit

Plumber official has gotten his entire shit wrecked by the victims of his slavery and illegal experiments? Sentence his entire team to life imprisonment in hellscape dimension with no trial, no judge, take all evidence, never speak of matter again

Teenager sacrifices his sanity saving the galaxy, becomes dangerously violent? Have his younger bestfriend murder him, insist it’s the only option

Department of Inhuman Resources

Insta-portals to the hellscape dimension are standard enough issue that nobody questions implanted memories or reports of them being used on criminals without an arrest

This despite it being shown that the hellscape dimension is a deathtrap that can kill you quickly and that entrance does not alert anyone to come looking

Law enforcement agency with no known governmental oversight and their own Black Ops group

And that’s off the top of my head. If you think of anything else, please feel free to add.

I love the idea of Snape being the most amazing baker ever because of his potion skills.

He makes Lily a cake nearly every year when they are at Hogwarts because he can’t afford to get her anything else, she doesn’t mind and looks forward to the cake every year. Sometimes if she’s really upset he will make her cupcakes and wish her a ‘happy quarter till your birthday’ to make her laugh

Xenophilius asks Snape help to raise money to save Dragons from being used as training devices. Severus just sighs but shows up to the event with just an obscene amount of fucking cookies. They all sell out, he lied and said Xeno made them because he knew if he said he did people would think they were poisoned, but it wasn’t until the next day that Xeno hears this and corrects someone who complimented his baking skills. Minor freak out, but people ask Severus to bake for them too once in a white for money, especially younger year students who miss their mothers treats.

Snape on multiple occasions have left a wolfsbane potion/Healing potion, and protein based cookies shaped in dog bones near his hospital bed or desk. Remus in retaliation brags about how Snape makes him cookies every month.

Leaves this here and runs away
