I really like how they’re setting up Devon’s turn toward the dark side. So far, I can already see how it’ll make sense in her mind.

She’s a padawan who was raised on the ideals of peace and justice. However, she would have spent her formative training years at war, something that is inherently not peaceful and unjust. Now, she and her master are fugitives, starving and begging on the streets, and sticking to those principles seem illogical.

Her master, with his years of experience, can see the reward in itself in in keeping these principles despite everything, but all she can see is she’s starving, her master is starving, so where’s the harm in stealing a little fruit? Then, when she’s caught, he lets her be arrested for it.

(Which is a stupid move imo. You know the empire is hunting Jedi and you let her go be processed by law enforcement and risk being found by the empire over a couple space apples? Lecture her later, sure, but this lesson is not worth risking both your lives.)

Now, she’s been arrested, spent a night in jail, and got captured by a crime syndicate all because she took some fruit? Where’s the justice in that?

And that’s exactly the thread Maul can pull. Maul knows what starving is and is determined to never starve again. He can relate to her on that point.

But where’s the justice in punishing a starving girl for stealing food while criminals like Varrio are quietly allowed to continue operating because they have threads the pull? Why should she and her master be forced to starve on principles while others take what they want and go to bed with a full belly? And how does depriving herself help anyone in the end?

Never mind that Maul isn’t interested in helping people. She’s going to see that his way gets results. Maybe she’ll think to herself, “I don’t have to go as far as he does. I can learn from him but I don’t have to become him.” She can gain power, power to change things, power to help people.

At least that’s how it’ll start. But who knows how it’ll end?

I’m just a boy who wants his pussy worshipped. Is that such a sin?

[thread-and-truth]

When Feyre says she accepts all of herself, “especially the bad,” it’s meant to be an empowering moment, but it reads like part of a corruption arc.

In many ways, it's not really up to her to forgive herself. She rarely acknowledges that she's wronged someone, much less apologizes or atones for her misdeeds. In fact, I believe Rhys is the only person we see her apologize to after book 1.

Feyre's character arc throughout the series may not show growth, but she has certainly changed.

Hiii

So this has been on my mind for a while, there’s this comic on YouTube called “what if blue joined the bad sanses” that the author stopped making for personal reasons ( they made a post about it) so if you’re comfortable with it, can you complete it or maybe write something similar?

Of course if you don’t want to that’s completely okay, this’s just a suggestion after all.

I really, really appreciate and love your work. Please take care of yourself.

Hi! 👋

So I’ve got a huge list of WIP fics that I haven’t even posted yet, so I think I’d wait on writing it myself, but I’m happy to give you some headcanons!

If Blue joined the Bad Sanses

Clearly, some rough things would have to happen first - I’m thinking my Blue would probably have to be at least half Blueberror to join. 

He’d get along best with Horror, less for his personality and more for his stability. Horror is the least likely to experience mood swings and violent episodes out of the gang. Blue appreciates this due to his own emotional and magical instability.

He’d find Killer (when he’s alone at least) as his calm friend. They’re the only two who really like cats, so they spend their quiet time not talking and cuddling felines. They can definitely gear each other up when they put on their energetic personas, but that’s not often outside of missions.

Cross is pretty much a self appointed nanny for Blue. He makes sure the other knight doesn’t skip meals, over work himself, or forget basic things like bathing. Blue finds him a bit annoying for it, but not enough to have any serious beef.

Blue and Error do not get along. Error doesn’t handle the guilt of what he did to Blue very well, and Blue holds a startlingly violent grudge against Error. They are to be kept apart under all circumstances.

Blue is insanely loyal to Nightmare, to an almost unhealthy level. He’d do just about anything for the person who not only saved him from becoming fully corrupted by the Anti-Void, but also gave him the chance to be seen as something more than the ‘charming Papyrus that looks like Sans’

Blue and Dust are fairly neutral towards each other. Blue doesn’t really understand Dust and his motives, and Dust finds Blue incredibly off putting. They stay fairly polite, but aren’t really close.
