So, like two years ago I read this idea and I thought it was really funny so I made an OC
I named him Isaac Shepherd, he's the next Shepherd boy that appears in "The boy who cried wolf"
In my AU he kind of started like this comedy relief bcs he knows Cerise is a werewolf but no one believes him lmao; and while that's doesn't change the truth is that he now has a lot of character development.
• He started as a royal, he used to admire a lot the hunters and wanted to become a hunter once he grew up.
•He's a year younger than Raven gen.
•Most of the time people think he's lying even if he isn't and that's why he doesn't have many friends.
•The rebel gang (Cerise, Raven and eventually Maddie) know that he knows about Cerise being a werewolf so they just pretend he's just lying (gaslight, girlkeep, girlbosses), so he dislikes them lol
•At first he acts a little bit like a tone down version of professor crocker when it came to the fairies (fairly OddParents mention) but with the werewolf on school, mostly Cerise bcs he wants to prove she's lying but he always fails lmao
•His parents do believe in the system like religiously and raised him to be ordinary and faithful to the system.
•At the beginning he has a crush on Lily Bo- Peep but it's mostly an "ideal" of who he's supposed to fall in love with.
•Hoppeless romantic
•loves writing, his parents hate it
•Since Cedar doesn't know Cerise secret, he feels he can trust her, and started to see her as a friend when she said "I think you're wrong about Cerise but I don't think you're lying" bcs that gave him the sense of "Now not thinks I'm not worthy of trust"
• With some interaction with the hunters (my AU) bcs he goes to a training camp he realizes they're sort of the bad ones lol so he starts to change little by little.
•By spending time with her he also develops a crush on Cedar but is angsty bcs of Cedar feelings with her being made out of wood and doesn't know how to feel (while he writes for her)
You know, I’ve always thought that Avatar The Last Airbender would be improved if instead of Zuko getting a redemption arc, he stayed evil and was replaced by a new character. Like maybe after Zuko sides with Azula at the end of Book Two we could be introduced to his long lost brother: Twoko.
Twoko looks almost exactly the same as Zuko but has a cool dyed streak in his hair. Obviously nobody has ever mentioned Twoko’s existence before this point but now he’s here and he’s the one who’s going to teach Aang firebending, and all the members of Team Avatar agree that he’s so much better than Zuko was, and make sure to say so at every opportunity. And then every time we do see Zuko in the show after that point it’s just to remind us of how irredeemably cruel and evil he is. But it’s okay because Azula can let us know that Twoko definitely used to be evil as well, so it’s totally like we got a redemption arc for him instead, it just all happened long before we ever met him.
Also Azula eventually gets a redemption arc too.
But not Zuko. Because Zuko is evil.
I just think that would make for a much more compelling story.
Imagine being chloe bourgeois and your own father picks your half sister, who he’s both not related to and hasn’t known until like a month ago, over you. I’d crash out too
Raven Queen parentification allegory could be so real if EAH were to engage with the concept of the fairytale Evil Queen being Snow White's stepmother in any real capacity. Which it generally does not but I think about it sometimes
Pov there is a girl who is your peer, but every adult in your life expects that you will take on the role of her mother. (They do not actually expect that you will be a successful or good mother, and see it as a matter of due course that you will have to be punished for this failing.) But you never asked for any of this and are just a kid like her with ambitions of your own- sometimes you resent her for how little responsibility is put upon her, and how much hope she has for her future (for which yours is being sacrificed). And then you kick yourself for that resentment, because letting yourself feel it feels like proving everyone right about you, and like failing her, just like how your own mother failed hers. (Which of course is to say, how your own mother failed you.)
Man it must’ve been so weird for CA Cupid to be from a world that’s all be yourself! Embrace your flaws! No matter what you’ll always be loved for who you are!
And then go to a universe that’s like fuck your individuality! You will conform to the role you were assigned to! Any deviation from the script and you’ll die alone and unloved!
Cadmus (phoenician man of egyptian descend) and Harmonia (greek goddess who grew up on thracian land) getting married and having a bunch of babies together:
greek mythology is fun because there's a child soldier who uses the corpse of an infant to beat the king of troy to death in a cold-hearted act of revenge and he's also named after his dad's drag persona
