What kind of music do you think Karrin Murphy listens to?

I am SO SORRY. I saw this when you first sent it, and the stupid notification went away and my AuDHD did the rest. >.< '

I HAVE AN ENTIRE HARRY/MURPHY PLAYLIST BTW. xD

If you archive dive on my crap, you'll see it somewhere, but anyway: I think Murphy is a mix of like metalcore and alternative rock, with maybe a LITTLE Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, and Willie Nelson along with old jazz and blues thrown in with some of her playlists. I think she likes a lot of things and not just Standard White Girl music or girlboss Beyonce music. She probably prefers great lyrics over flashy sound.

If I had to assign her a song, it'd be "Cosmic Love" by Florence + the Machine, but since that one describes her AND Harry, if I had to pick HER song out, woof. Uh. I'd say, "She's Always a Woman to Me" is probably my strongest candidate for Murphy, but even that is told from Harry's POV. Runner up is "Break Thru" by Dirty Projectors.

Petty headcanon: if you even dare suggest Taylor Swift to her, she'll roll her eyes and walk away from you that very moment.

You can't just mention legos and then not show us!

...okay so. bear in mind that this is all about a year and change-ish of collecting. and. i very badly need to organize. and dust. but.

"#what is the panini supposed to be am i stupid?" the Pandemic. I know some subreddits banned mention of it at the start for some dumbass reason, so people got around that by just not using the word Pandemic

ooohh it’s not a very good stand in. not intuitive lol.

so they've finally got Dragonsteel 2024 stuff up on Arcanum, so here's the full quote about comparing Kaladin and Moash to Magneto and Professor X:

"I do really like when heroic figures and villainous figures have a shared backstory. Things they've gone through together, that they have then taken different perspectives and made different choices with kind of a shared basis of understanding. One of the most famous of this would be Professor X and Magneto, where you've got friends who kind of share some attribute. I would say that Kaladin and Moash are a very different dynamic; they were actually the exact sort of group and suffered some of the same things and took different perspectives. And that contrast really is fun for authors to write, and asking what decisions would lead you to one direction versus the other."

this is so funny because it doesn’t SEEM like he’s having fun writing that contrast lol

what's the Hackett Tim duo indoctrination theory? I mean obviously it's that both of them are indoctrinated, but I wanna know more

Oh ok honestly I have no idea if someone’s written this down or if it’s a real thing specifically, but this is what it is in my head. Also this isn’t based in canon its just like an “oh this could be an interesting idea if it was the narrative”

So basically my Duo Indoctrination theory is very straightforward in what it describes: TIM + Hackett are both indoctrinated agents of the Reapers. We know TIM is indoctrinated as a direct result of his reaper tech implants which makes him move to stop Shepard, so the question is why is Hackett?

Well we know the Alliance has their fingers in Reaper tech. Amanda Kenson proves that’s true. It makes no sense that Hackett wouldn’t really be aware of what was going down there given the fact that he’s an Admiral and supposed close friend— especially on a project of this severity. Admirals visiting sites of such import, even in secret, seems plausible.

To me, this would be the indoctrinating incident or origin for Hackett. If not this, I can’t not believe he hasn’t encountered reaper tech elsewhere.

Military of all species have motivation to understand or take advantage of reaper technologies. Their role as a military is to increase their own species’ advantage against all else. Especially with a reaper war dawning on the horizon.

So it wouldn’t just be Hackett, honestly, I think there are a lot of reaper agents in Alliance ranks that could start crumbling them from the inside.

BUT ANYWAY

Obviously Hackett coordinates Alliance forces against the reapers but honestly if I were a reaper controlling a major head of my enemys militaries im not gonna immediately tank their power by making it obvious I’m in control, I’ll do it bit by bit.

So while TIM would make obvious moves against the galaxy Hackett would be more like Udina and play the long game of losing alien troops and upgrading alliance ones while relaying choices to the Reapers. His motivation would be really similar to TIMs, like, control of a significant power source to advance humanity above all else.

Then what you get is shepard having this choice to strike out from the Alliance since it is acting inherently against the interests of the galaxy and recruit a scrappier, independent source of forces to tackle both the alliance and cerb. So sort of emulating some me2 unlikely allies vibe

Also itd be cool to boss battle tim then boss battle hackett then they join forces lol and its like “the heads of the dogs” bc u fight like a three headed reaperfied hacky and tim (third head is a husk ig LMFAO)

The ultimate idea being shepard is an agent for destruction for both institutions, then gets to make a final choice to defeat both in the name of a united galaxy n justice and chooses the decision that best suits their view of things. 👯‍♀️ n also institutions of violence will always commit violence against those theyre sworn to protect so the only answer can be rising up as a people or smth ssmth smth

So thats my Duo Indoctrination Theory and how I would have approached me3 LMFAO

if you wanna learn more about the X-Men, i highly recommend the Cerebro podcast.

I like learning things about comics the old fashion way: seeing posts about things and being like wtf
