so no ones seems to be bringing up the frame in episode 9 at 2:38 where it appears to be a family of magicats when horde prime is discussing the new rebellions against him amd im curious what you think

After that fake out in the trailer there is no way I am ever going to speculate on magicats.

I know I already commented on it an ao3 today but i need to let more out on why I love tdii so much and honestly I think it's cause it has so many quiet moments. There's some action for aure but like. Adora tries to make breakfast and they just sit in a dinner and talk and it's so much quiet peaceful moments that you don't always get and I love it so much

aaaaaaaaa thank you I love comments! They sustain me. Also the quiet moments are such an important juxtaposition to the high action.  The falling in love happens quietly. me: Im gonna write a crazy action-adventure-murder-mystery-cop-gang story me: *actually writes soft slice of live* me: heck--

I'm curious as to your opinions on the warmind retcons. I may have understood D1 wrong but at the time it seemed like rasputin was one of many warminds in the system (also D2 supports this a bit with the Io warmind vaults having a prefix different than ras-) and honestly, having it be just rasputin was so disapointing for me. I wanted to find a venusian warmind or a greek one on mars that just wanted to destroy everything(ares). Anywho, I'm curious if you like the changes or not.

The “there was only one Warmind” retcon in the Warmind DLC has been a sticking point in the lore community, and for good reason - it just doesn’t make sense. Personally I suspect it was a miscommunication rather than an intentional retcon since much of Warmind was done by Vicarious Visions and not Bungie itself. The book Last Days of Kraken Mare released two years later clearly refers to “Warminds” plural and I would not be surprised if Season of the Worthy includes a clear-cut statement confirming the original lore of multiple Warminds (in fact I suspect that’s the bunkers we’ll be reactivating).

My working theory is that there were seven Warminds, one for each area of settled space (Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, Mars, the Belt, then Jupiter & beyond), but since the decision to locate one Warmind on each planet was made after Rasputin had become, well, Rasputin, he had major facilities located on Mars where he was originally designed and built instead of on Earth where he was supposed to be. The Cosmodrome facility was therefore built to replace Rasputin’s Hellas Basin complex, but the hardware transfer wasn’t completed before the Darkness hit, resulting in the oddly-split “Rasputin” fragment that lives there. Then when said Darkness carved its path of destruction through our solar system it killed the six other Warminds along the way, with Rasputin picking up their remaining resources after each was destroyed (hence his reference to “reclaimed CHLM assets.”) Rasputin has often mentioned “brothers and sisters” pre-Collapse that were killed during said Collapse, so it’s not a stretch to imagine other Warminds among the dead.

tl;dr The “retcon” in Warmind was probably an accident and I suspect it’ll be reversed in SotW.

unbroken is so good i love it but why do they have to hurt so much i want to cry

*cough* I, uh.... sorry... XD

A combination of “emotionally constipated characters who don’t show vulnerability unless there’s the fear of someone almost dying”/ it adds tension / ...it also kind of got away from me oops

I've been reading all of your catradora fics I can find and you are just a spectacular writing

Well I certainly try

[johannas-motivational-insults]

I just read your satisfaction fic and let me tell you. It was fantastic. The fun parts were fun of course but I love how much effort you put into the mutual trust and realistic responses to the experiences that these characters had in their childhoods. Absolutely splendid job!

Okay yeah so it’s a huge pet peeve of mine when people write kinky smut and don’t put an emphasis on the trust involved and how that and the intimacy it requires is actually much of the appeal. Also, when they don’t consider how someone’s experiences would affect their reactions to this kind of stuff. Tbh part of why I wrote this fic is I just read too many sub!Catra fics that had no explanation for why she was digging reliving her abuse and it got on my nerves lmao. Like you know, if you’re gonna write this stuff you really need to get into the why. The why is often the best part, or it leads to the best parts (like the ending).
