In my case, “Go Live In.” At first, I wanted to skip it, but I gradually grew to like it more and more until it became the song I listen to the most from Descendants 5.
Some fanfics have a plot where Alastor's plan is to conspire to take the throne from the Morningstars, but would canon Alastor actually want to be a king?
First of all, euthanasia is a sensitive subject, and it’s not something you give someone just because they’re “difficult” to control. It’s for people who are seriously ill, whether physically or mentally, who have already made the decision themselves, undergone multiple evaluations of their mental health, and, above all, consent to it of their own free will. It’s not something other people get to decide for them.
Lute, no matter how reckless she is with her own life, doesn’t want to die. Her goals are to avenge Adam and punish Hell, and she’ll do it regardless of whether she dies in the process, but she isn’t choosing to die on purpose to relieve her suffering. On top of that, she hasn’t been properly evaluated or given the help she needs to consider her a lost cause. Treating her like a rabid dog that needs to be put down instead of like a person is disgusting.
And the worst part is that they want Sera herself to be the one to euthanize her. The same Sera who is changing herself, who is beginning to see value in even sinful souls, and who no longer wants to get her hands bloody. Having her do that to Lute would be absolutely repulsive and monstrous. Not to mention that Sera herself isn’t exactly free of crimes either, even sharing several of them with Lute despite the fact that she’s now trying to redeem herself, and nobody is saying she should die for them.
Ugh, this one was really hard to make! There aren’t any screenshots where the winners show different expressions, so I had to reuse the same one and it kind of loses its impact.
I hope something like this happens in the show someday, just better written than mine. I feel like this one doesn’t have the same quality as my previous work.
Edit: I didn’t think I’d have to clarify this, but this is a story! It’s something I’d like to see in the show, where Emily has to face people who think like this. What’s written reflects how the characters think, not me! And the characters can be wrong, speak without knowing everything, or be biased! I’m not saying redemption is impossible in the show, just that these characters see it this way!
Like, that once they arrive in Heaven, their minds are kind of “washed” or their souls are altered so they’re no longer dangerous and remain calm and happy all the time, without critical thinking. It used to be a very popular idea in fanfics before the series came out, along with the theory that their memories of loved ones in Hell are erased.
While both actions are heroic, the first would have been much better for Hercules to achieve becoming the true hero he always wanted to be.
Not only was he brave in choosing to fight without his powers so the Cyclops would leave Thebes alone, likely knowing he was going to die, but he also proved that he didn’t need those powers to be a real hero and save the day. Instead, he used his wit and everything he had learned with Phil to succeed. A true hero gives everything they have, even in the worst circumstances.
In comparison, although sacrificing himself to retrieve Megara’s soul was heroic, it feels smaller next to saving the lives of thousands while at such a huge disadvantage and without the strength that had helped him so many times.
I’ve seen that lately people have been talking more about this part of “Live to Live” where Sera frowns at Adam before making him disappear, and some say this makes her seem like she’s denying her role in his actions or viewing him as a symbol of what’s wrong. What do you think?
I don’t think it’ll happen, since the show will probably want to redeem a big shot, most likely Vox, but I can imagine it happening in an AU.
I don't think so. While both Vaggie and Lute are deeply devoted to Charlie and Adam respectively, to the point of having an unhealthy obsession with them, Lute has more going on than that.
The biggest difference is her relationships with other characters. Vaggie only really has Charlie, and maybe a bit of Carmilla now, but beyond that she doesn't have many meaningful interactions with the rest of the cast, nor are there many hints that she will.
Lute, on the other hand, is becoming increasingly furious with Sera for betraying the cause. She sees Emily as a weakness that's corrupting others, and it also seems inevitable that she'll have to interact with Abel. On top of that, she has her desire for revenge against Charlie and Hell, as well as her ongoing rivalry with Vaggie.
Lute feels like a more distinct character than Vaggie because we actually get to see that she has relationships beyond just her love for Adam.
Yeah, there are definitely some things that don't make perfect sense, but it's meant to take place at the end of Season 4. I tried to include a few things that I think might happen, but obviously I can't predict the future, so it could end up being completely different.
This is just a fun idea I wanted to write, since I've started enjoying coming up with these kinds of scenarios.
Like in a Disney-style ending, similar to Star vs. the Forces of Evil or Descendants, where the protagonist brings different realms together into one.
They have a surprisingly wide variety of designs despite appearing so little in the series. Some are younger, others are older. Some look more like stereotypical nerds, while others have a tougher appearance. My favorite part is how almost all of them have their own unique way of wearing the lab coat.
