Me drawing Sundew: hmm sheād look good with some black markings. Too bad thatās a HiveWing thing
My brain: ok but the HiveWings are a later off-shoot of the SilkWings from when they were both BeetleWings, right?
Me: Yeah
My brain: and one difference between the them now is HiveWings have more weapon stuff, like venomous fangs and stingers, plus all having some black markings paired with orange/red/yellow?
Me: They do yeah
My brain: meanwhile LeafWings are supposed to just greens and browns but several of the younger PoisonWings are described having yellow/gold or reddish markings on them, like Sundew, Mandrake, and Cobra Lily
Me: Thatās true theyāre very pretty
My brain: those three either have powerful leafspeak (Mandrake), are top of the class and have slipped deadly poison into a clan memberās food (Cobra Lily), or are Sundew (most powerful leafspeak known, uses revenge as happy thoughts, thinks the above mentioned poisoning was very cool)
Me: Okayā¦?
My brain: but none of the young SapWings we see, like Willow and Hazel, have colors other than greens or browns. And their half of the clan are the ones choosing to accept their situation peacefully
Me: huh kinda like the silkwings
My brain: YES what if the HiveWings split from the other BeatleWings by prepping for fighting, and later the PoisonWings were so focused on getting ready to fight the HiveWings they didnāt even notice their own children were starting to look a little like them????
Me: Oh my god, Sundew was literally born just so her mom could use her leafspeak in warā¦
My brain: headcanon, Sundew actually looks kinda like a HiveWing
Me: The irony would kill her I love it
My brain: and because of her gold markings, she also kinda looks like Bumblebee

Okay, Slave I interior fans we need to talk layout. Because of this shipās weird design the rotating cockpit has been canon for a while, but the episodes of The Mandalorian showed us a previously unseen passenger section that stays motionless while the ship is taking off.Ā
The yellow ladder (seen above in the concept art) can be seen rotating behind the passenger area as the ship takes off, and then when Boba and Din are talking it looks like the cockpit is above the passenger area while the ship is upright.Ā
These are my thoughts and Iām open to details that I may have missed or just random ideas:
THE CONFERENCE ROOM
Previous diagrams of Slave I have shown some kind of passenger seating but nothing like what we saw on the show.Ā Is the cockpit and passenger area one part that rotates together when the ship takes off or is the passenger area the gyroscopic center that everything else rotates around?
SLEEPING QUARTERS
The concept art has hammocks behind the cockpit, an arrangement that makes sense and might be usable from either position with enough hooks. The AOTC diagram below shows a similar set up but with bunks behind the cockpit.
Other cross sections have had the sleeping quarters in the bottom portion of the ship (which would obviously be unusable while the ship is upright).
Iām actually wondering if the new passenger area might have pull-out bunks and everyone just crashes in the same room. Good for fanfic? Bad for fanfic? You tell me.Ā
WHERE IS THE SHOWER?Ā
Seriously weāve seen the vac tube on the Razor Crest, I think the facilities are an important detail we need to see.
THE CARGO HOLD
The cargo hold, as in put Captain Solo in, we see into it veryĀ briefly when Din disembarks. You can see grating which probably becomes the floor when the ship is flying but given how spacious the passenger area is there canāt be much room there?Ā
Could Bobaās targets be showed away in compartments beneath the passenger area like the floor storage we see in theĀ MillenniumĀ Falcon? Because now Iām just picturing Zam Wesell stomping on the floor.Ā āPipe down, will ya? Iām trying to take a nap!ā
Friday Night Funkinā Week 6 dropped and Iām thinking about the Senpai Monster and I can come up with 2-3 theories as to why heās trapped in the game system by the GFās dad.
1. Heās an ex that lost, got put in the game due to his skin deep care for GF.
(He acts all suave...)
(... Until Song 2,where he immediately drops the niceties.)
Dialogue from Song 3:
2. Senpai was a harasser/stalker that Daddy Dearest caught and put in the game system to keep him away from GF.Ā
Which may imply his words from Song 3:
2.5. A combo with 2, but in this case, Senpai is in actuality a spirit/demon that associated with Dad and Mom, getting in trouble then trapped in the game system by messing with GF.
He needs someone to take his place in order to escape. (Could possibly imply that someone was in the game before him? That person before either released/swapped -or- defeated Senpai in order to escape.)
Or initially put in, he canāt leave without a vessel. (also implying that Senpai is a spirit/demon in theory, inhabiting a body before Dad trapped him)
3. He was originally a normal human/spirit that was trapped inside a dating sim game by Dad for GF to play. Over time he lost his human form and his normal appearance is a shell.
Might point back to Song 3 dialogue where Senpai heavily emphasizes his interest in GF and swears revenge on Dad.
Conclusion:
Senpai (Sempai?) is a person that has gone up against Dad and lost either to dueling him like BF had or had gotten uncomfortably close to GF that prompted Dad to trap him inside the dating sim game.
His form in Song 3 may clue in that he might be similar to Dad, Mom, and GF in which heās a spirit/demon.
I don't know if this is gonna sound weird to you, but yesterday I had a dream about the final battle against Zhan Tiri. It had Rapunzel (in her brunette hair cut, the reasons I don't know why XD), Eugene, a redeemed Cass, Lance, Varian, Edmund, Adira, Kiera and Catalina against Zhan Tiri, and it had a HUGE scale like never seen before, and music from Man of Steel for some reason. Do you think something similar will happen at the end or that sounds unlikely?
Honestly, Iāve been hoping from the get go (as in, since I realized Zhan Tiri is going to be a major player and something they were likely going to have to face at the end) that every person that Rapunzel has helped throughout the series comes out and backs her up in this epic Everyone vs. Zhan Tiri showdown.
Heres what I think: I suspect that Snoke may have been somehow preventing Palpatines resurgence, hence the fact palpy comes out now (so its not just a coincidence). Maybe Snokes black ring has something to do with it? Maybe the ring held power that enables Snoke to keep Palps at bay in the dark region?
Also, I think Kylo is seeing a vision of Rey being dark when he goes to an oracle and that that is the DarkRey we are getting a picture of..Maybe Palpatine would want to inhabit Rey because she is as strong as Kylo and they are the 2 strongest force users to kill Kylo. Palpatine would want to kill Kylo as revenge against Vader and Luke and so he can take ultimate power in the galaxy (perhaps Palpatine, in Kylos vision, has tempted her to allow him to possess her because in that timeline she believes it necessary to defeat Kylo? or to find her family?ā¦who knows..Palpy is manipulative). Kylo sees this vision at the oracle and so he goes to rey to stop her from allowing this (ostensibly because Palpatine is their greater enemy but really because he loves her) so he tried to make a peaceful pact with them. TheĀ ātrioā doesnāt believe him at first because why wouldnāt palpatine just inhabit Kylo and then kill him from within his body but then maybe Kylo could explain that that would kill Palpatine too (that if the person Palpatine is Ā possessing dies then Palps dies too) hence giving us a clear way to kill palpatine.

I hope Tatsumaki actually gets to see Bangās upcoming big moment. One of the big disappointments I had with the webcomic was that she missed it.
(Oh for a sec I misread it thinking her possible manga reunion with Blast.) But ah! :O Her witnessing Bang (and Genos?) likely coming to her rescue (one sheās never counted on to expect), if sheās still conscious enough to see it following her head injury... Then yeah! As both a top hero, responsible elder, and a younger sibling himself who just witnessed Tatsuās behavior towards her little sister, then Bang would surely have a lot he could teach/show her in this demonstrative moment. Iād look forward to a manga expansion + character interaction like this potentially happening too. :O
Iām beginning to think there is a small but real chance the impossible will happen in the finale of Supernatural s10.
Yeah, Iām talking about Destiel.
There are several ways things can play out from here. The most obvious are these two options focused on the brothers:
Dean starts to fulfill the MoC prophecy, something stops him (probably Sam), the price is probably high.
Sam starts to fulfill the MoC prophecy, something stops him (probably Dean), the price is probably high.
Just because these are the most likely climaxes, doesnāt mean weāll get either of them. Iām leaning more and more towards thinking that all the focus on Cainās prophecy and roles of the brothers means another factor will end up coming into play which will radically skew how things turn out.
These are the most likely:
Castielās Grace being used either with or without his consent to cure Dean of the MoC.
Metatron firing Chekovās gun by using the Demon Tablet, which will provide a problem going into s11.
Rowena and the Steins complicating matters.
So, if the MoC prophecy ends up being skewed somehow, what might happen?
There are heaps of ways it could play out, obviously, but thereās one other major contender which has been hinted at since the start of s10 and has been slowly but surely building in the subtext.
Instead of a two-hander, we will get a triangle.
Iāve ranked this as having a fairly low likelihood until this point, but now Iām pushing it up to join the possibilities about Sam and Dean and the MoC. This third possibility is Destiel heavy, and because I think itās unlikely the showrunners will take Destiel into overt canon, Iāve been keeping it on the back burner as a meta idea, and focusing more on Sam and Dean.
Anyway, even though I still have doubts Destiel will go overtly canon, the Book of the Damned feels like the start of the push into the finale, and in this final stretch of the season, the subtext for a Destiel-heavy finale option has ramped up hard.
We had two important developments in this episode.Ā āThe last supper,ā which pretty clearly showed us who the important pieces on the Winchesterās board are -- Dean, Sam, Charlie and Castiel. Charlie and Castiel sat together, the two non-lead characters who currently have the strongest emotional ties with the boys. In terms of emotional peril that doesnāt focus on Sam or Dean, these are realistically our two options. The second thing is that we had Metatron pushing Castiel about his role, desires and future, and Castiel had no answer (except for the unspoken āDeanā). Then there was that misleading Don Quixote quote about the maddest thing a man can do (it doesnāt mean what the show makes it seem, which I discuss towards the bottom of this meta here).
This sequence has basically set Castiel up as a sacrificial piece. Between the Metatron conversations and the last supper... Man, itās just so suggestive.
So if this subtext pays off, the triangle option in the finale goes something like this:
Sam does something typically Winchester and unforgivable to save Dean from the MoC (which may or may not work), and part the cost is Castiel (probably his Grace, but maybe his life, or being locked on the wrong side of Heaven or Hellās door when Metatron uses the Tablet).
As a result, Dean is forced to choose between Sam and Castiel, and to add to the anguish, choosing Sam will continue the Winchester pattern of toxic co-dependency and likely damn the world.
Dean EITHER chooses Castiel over Sam, OR chooses Sam but then immediately rejects him (saying he can never forgive him, instead of āthere aināt no me, if there aināt no youā).
A lot of stuff has happened for me to think this has even an outside chance of being endgame in s11.
Dean:
has hit a level of emotional maturity for the first time which is starting to take him out of Johnās shadow, and all that entails, including questioning whether he needs to keep hunting.
is finally articulating that he has adult wants and needs in his own right that have nothing to do with the family legacy, and one of them is experiencing things and feelings (however you interpret that), and heās acknowledged the two people who are important in terms of feelings are Sam and Castiel.
wants a cure for the MoC and to live, but not at the price of causing another disaster. He is actually thinking about this in a way weāve not seen him tackle impossible problems before, and I think he means it in a way he never has before.
Castiel:
has gone on a parallel journey to Dean, in which he is no longer prepared to cause harm to others for his own survival. He wants to live, but will give up his Grace and/or his life if the alternative is damaging.
loves Dean the way only an Angel can love -- implacably and absolutely.
has been positioned as a sacrificial piece. His future and relevance has been questioned -- he has no obvious role in Heaven anymore, and hasnāt yet acknowledged a role he might want to play on Earth. He either must find another role, or heās likely to become the sacrifice (like Quixote).
Sam:
is still trapped in Johnās legacy, and only thinking about saving Dean and not the price.
still canāt articulate adult needs and wants, just that he doesnāt value his own life, and canāt live without Dean (I really hope he gets his growing up arc in s11, because this is no way to live).
is beginning to act out his single most destructive legacy of his childhood trauma -- when he wants affirmation from Dean, he does something terrible, so that Dean will affirm he loves Sam anyway, no matter what.
Sam also has a terrible jealous streak when it comes to Dean, and heās expressed it about Castiel before (back at the end of s8, for instance). Push him hard enough, and I think that will play out by making him force a choice on Dean.
However, for the first time, Iām not 100% sure it would turn out the way Sam expects. In many ways, Dean has been a parent to Sam, but one of the unintended consequences of unpacking the trauma of his childhood is that Dean is finally moving away from that identity and wanting an adult life of his own, rather than one he inherited from John. Itās not that he doesnāt still love Sam, itās that he wants a family of his own very much. Heās hungry for it, and heās felt the ticking of the clock in a way he never has before.
Would he still choose Sam if it came down to it? Probably. A lifetime of habit is hard to kick, no matter how much Dean has grown this season.
Would it be an easy choice if it was between Sam and Castiel? No. No, it would be an impossible choice. Sophieās choice.
I think it would break Deanās heart, honestly, even if the show doesnāt take it into overtly romantic territory. And thatās kind of where Iām expecting the season finale to take us, one way or the other -- to heartbreak.
