#plinys meta

so like, i wasn’t going to answer this. i was off enjoying my life, i saw cars 3 which is great i cant believe doc hudson is gay and lightening mcqueen is secretly fitz and if y’all think im not gonna write a cars fraida au you’re wrong

and i come home to this

lovely anon

i was really just going to be like ??? this isnt worth my time and just go write fraida fic and dont worry guys if youre here for baby au or beach house verse or kinky framework smut well i got you covered later today

but before that, we need to talk

this is long, and doesnt cover most the important bits

first off, apologies to my one (1) mutual that is a huge holden radcliffe fan, you should probably look away for part of this meta. because im gonna put some of the blame on him

a few points from that awful meta i skimmed that was again not valid because it was written by a fs stan and these people by default cannot stand any other character looking at fs (like my girl oph may be evil, but like will daniels was not !? but man were the fs stans ready to call him abusive and sexual assualt back then so, again as proof opinions of those extra gross fs stans are not valid)

now if you are a mildly reasonable fs fan or just a normal person that ships other things, please do not let the crazies convince you of some total bullshit 

hee’s some ground facts

my girl aida, now know as ophelia, is one of the main villains of the season. she’s evil af in the later half. im not here to deny that. she’s one of the seasons villains

you know who else are tho - holden radcliffe and leopold fitz

back in 4.01 my girl was created to be a digital assistant, programmed not to lie and not to kill and generally just like a good™ person. now that got fucked up and whose fault is that

well lets have some more facts:

holden gave her the programming that it was okay to kill if it was to fill an objective he set (this allowed her to kill him later and honestly that was his bad)

fitz taught her how to lie, and holden assured her that it was okay to do so

as mack, the only person with a logical fear of robots would tell us, this is a bad idea

and then we get the darkhold

man who, from the other side, convinced aida to read the book? 

who then later enabled her to keep reading and gain all the knowledge and use it to help him create the framework and expand it and make it better

but oh man thats another good point who designed the framework? 

holden radcliffe and leopold fitz

holden specifically was the one that wanted it to grow, that encouraged her to push the simulation, that had the plan to put may into it and give her a whole different life to keep her contained

holden was also the one to have them kidnap and replace the rest of the team

wait you mean? aida was just following orders? the whole time? oh yes, thats right guys. she was

until of course

the framework

now here’s where it gets messy because

the framework 

in the framework, the darkhold has no hold on you anymore

which means, holden gets to experience regret and becomes not the villain anymore go him 

though as mentioned before this, holden’s instructions were to fix regret so people would stay in the framework and not question the narrative or want to leave

which leaves us with

coulson not a shield agent

may saving the girl (both of which ive mentioned in previous metas is why hydra rose with no one to assemble the avengers and a fear of inhumans in the public it was easy)

fitz being raised with his father (who i personally hc as hydra in the real world too but thats just me)

mace being an inhuman

and mack having his daughter

now despite what poor sad jemma simmons, and the fs stan mouth piece that daisy got to be for a brief moment (i miss a well written daisy wow) will tell you,

not having a girl in your life does not suddenly make you a super villain

maybe its idk

the hydra father you were raised with 

in a demonstrated emotionally abusive house that says not to show emotions and weakness (much like john garrett did to grant ward)

a world in which there was a fear of inhumans and a push for hydra to rise

a natural inclination for ambition

now, idk if its just me but

aida didnt make fitz evil

she followed holden orders to fix his regret, 

if anything holden made him evil but really this anger and darkness has been inside of fitz all along and if you dont believe me rewatch season 2/3. watch that scene with ward when he cuts off the air, watch him with the gun and yelling at the space rock, watch him angrily pushing things onto the ground when frustrated

this kid has been two shakes from being a villain since season two

 now to the fraida bit

if you believe ophelia on the beach scene which i do, she’s human now, able to feel things, there’s no way this girl so new to emotions that she has a panic attack thinking about people being hurt, so new that she loses herself to heart break in what is honestly just bad writing but canon so i can use it as a point here

would lie without there being an obvious tell

she’s not lying. 

she wanted to feel loved and human

so she took jemma’s place at the academy

now when did fitzsimmons first hook up? when did they first kiss? how long did that take? 

aida, then calling herself ophelia, wanted to be jemma simmons and like i get that. you, the fs stans, should get that. i mean isnt that why you all write self insert fanfic while slapping the name jemma on the character and pretending its the same one we see in canon?

aidas just like you

maybe a little misguided, playing a fucked up sims game of the real world

in a sense they created an alternate universe

an earth 2

and now you’re here telling me a robot, who cannot canonically feel anything more than pain, was the one to initiate sex? no, that boy def initiated it. 

the horrible example of the meta involves someone being roofed and forced into sex, but thats not what happened. she wouldnt have been the one to touch him first, wouldn’t have been the one to initiate anything because she wanted to experience love and humanity and none of that is part of it

now iain confirmed the friada sex happened, canon later told us that it happened in 4.21 and again reminded us that she could feel nothing, which important take away here

now if you say

there’s consent issues, probably dub-con ill agree

but the framework version of him, this alternate universe man very much wanted every part of that

and honestly could you blame him?

so now i am going to sit here and write my fic set in the framework verse as if it was a full earth 2 and enjoy living it up in my alternate universe sin verse

im going to write my lets ignore everything after she saves mack fix it fics because i can do whatever i want

its fandom

and theres like 4 of us shipping fraida

block the tag if you dont want to see it 

dont come up in my inbox anymore and ask my opinions or for m to justify my ship ever again, im just going to start replying with the parks & rec gif of ron with her permit to do what he wants

weLL SHIT ANON YOU ARE WRONG NOW LIKE let me make one of those long bullet pointed metas that i am apparently famous for and lay some knowledge on you

(oh, you thought i was gonna joke reply, youre wrong i love cars more than aida)

first off - let me start by reminding you that we have THREE CARS MOVIES AND TWO CARS SPIN OFFS (AKA PLANES) and honestly this is proof cars is the best franchise and makes pixar the most money and cars land exists and is amazing and i met tow mater once and it was the greatest day of my life

but beyond that

cars is incredible 

first off, we open on owen wilsons sweet car voice saying “i am speed” and honestly, this is the greatest thing ever have you considered that let me just tell you

now cars first off is a lesson in humility, lightening mcqueen is a hot shot at the beginning of the movie, but by the end he has learned not only to be humble but that goodness can be found all around him and most importantly that he doesnt need to win

unlike chick hicks the “villain” of the first movie (who makes an appearance in the third to remind us once again that arrogance gets you nowhere)

he learned compassion and friendship and not to judge people (cars) by their looks like this friendship with mater while strained in the cash grab that was cars 2, remains true at his core like

best fictional friendship goes to lightening and mater thats just facts

also best fictional mentor relationship goes to lightening and doc hudson who (cars 3 made me cry in a theater surrounded by children) acted as a surrogate father to lightening and inspired him and like doc is such an important lesson in fading heroes and good role models and wow i miss doc

cars 3 is the best closure of a hero tale, marvel and dc take note, this is how you retire a legend and let someone knew take up the numbers/cowls, like i dont want to spoil things but cars 3 is a cinematic masterpiece

now those are solid moral facts we also have random facts that make cars the best

the voice actors for each car is significant, like esp in cars 1 look up these people wow 

there’s literally a joke about lightening getting flashed and sally having a tramp stamp in cars 1 how did this happen

doc hudson is gay he’s a gay car wow confirmed

there is a car that is literally high all the time and like how did this get in there wow it was great

racecars dont get cell phones

“RACECARS DONT NEED HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THE TRACK IS ALWAYS LIT” 

also it leads to me questioning my entire existence like

what happened to the humans

cruz said that she used to run track but how does that work she is a car

how can they use touch screens they have no hands

how did lightening tape something in cars 3 HE HAS NO HANDS

why are cows tractors but cars people

how are baby cars made

how does a car transition from child to adult

when they lose their wheels is it like losing a limb

whey does sally say he smells, she does not have a nose how can she tell

why do they have tongues

why do they have t o n g u e s 

whY IS THERE A SCHOOL BUS BUILT FOR PEOPLE IF THERES NO HUMANS 

anyways cars is great and the best and ANY OTHER OPINION IS WRONG BECAUSE CARS IS GREAT AND THE BEST

@slamncram replied to your post

“i have determined what makes the difference between being redeemable...”

But what happens when the murder of said dog may or may not have been put into action due to outside factors (i.e. five years of gaslighting and conditioning)? Discuss. (I'M JOKING IT JUST SOUNDED VERY ACADEMIC)

okay but this is the thing, like this is what makes me so angry sitting here being like angry at how my fave baddies from legends of tomorrow basically have half of wards backstory each (and are way bigger fucking villains) but still end up being considered good guys on their fucking team like how does this happen? is it better writing? is it fandom being better? is it the fact that nobody killed a fucking dog

so for those of you that follow me for aos and dont know any lot (because its my new obsession) this will contain some lot spoilers

which is why its under a cut, also it got fucking long, if nobody reads this but chris i will still be content tho cause im upset

oh god so this is where i have an issue because i'm a huge howard stark fan, and i've always wanted to write meta on this.

but there's a difference between "im too busy to deal with my kid" howard stark style.

and "i adopted/lied about parentage/told he wasnt good enough/imprisoned" odin or "burnt my kids face" ozai or "my fav son died so i was a douche to my younger one/then put him while still alive on a funeral pyre" denethor or "killed my son's wife/also totally raped her/and constantly discriminated against him because he's a dwarf" tywin lannister

you see? 

and i mean, i went into this trying to figure out the loki thing at the end. but then was hit by something else.

THE OCEAN OF LOKI AND MOMMA FRIGGA FEELS.

so at first i was super sad because i realized the last thing he said to her before she died was that she was not his mother.

but then a friend pointed out to me something. was that even really frigga there? 

odin did say that he would never see her again, and while both loki and frigga have the obvious skill of illusions. was that her sending an illusion to visit him or loki creating an illusion of frigga because he missed her/as a sort of self-conscious for himself.

especially since her outfit in that scene is different than what she is wearing in her next scene when she meets jane.
