Going with the "Grian is the one who designed this game as opposed to the others" headcanon, it makes you think about the superpowers he gave his friends, how they were all laughing and having fun in the beginning, and that was intentional. It goes to show that even when forced to design the death game his friends are put through (a punishment for trying to usurp the Watchers time and time again), he still cares. They all know he's the one who designed this game, and he hopes they realize the little mercies he's giving them.
He gives Cleo the power to bring people back from the dead, just so he can have a chance to see his best friend again.
He gives Pearl the power to fly, and hopes she appreciates having her wings back, if only for a short time.
Jimmy gets to go invisible because Grian knows the Watchers aren't happy with the curse being broken. He wants to protect him.
As for Martyn? Grian doesn't really know a lot about what's going on with him and the Listeners, but he might as well try to strengthen that connection in the little ways he can without arising suspicion.
He says it himself in the beginning, "let's not forget this is a PVP series," but it sounds hollow even to his own ears. It's pandering to the watching eyes, making them think the lighthearted fun is all unintentional.
He falls out of the sky with the wings he gave to Pearl, and he wonders if the Watchers are starting to catch on.
DESPITE IT ALL, WE HAVE EACH OTHER
no matter how much hopelessness they corner us into, they cannot stop us from taking care of each other.
somewhere to start today is by helping nada, who is less than 40% of the way towards her goal.

please continue to share mutual aid, whether its in your own neighborhood or across the sea. please continue to find both what's urgent and what's beautiful in the world.
thank you always, take care.
I can vouch, they are very comfortable, 5 stars ( and one dog )
Y'know, Scott and Jimmy's relationship in this Powered AU is basically that they used to be hero partners but then Scott found out the guy wasn't a properly registered hero and was, therefore, an illegal hero/vigilante. Like 2 months later, The Wonderous Hero Sterling's chasing this dang bird across the entire city like a rabid ex and ranting about him to Shelby, who is very certain he really is a rabid ex.
so. alsmp thoughts that arent canon: c!sausage is the same one from empires, with his memories, and He is the reason everyones got ten lives.
In a last minute attempt to keep his friends from dying/leaving, he set them all into a new world entirely and shifted their realities thusly. every time they die, he’s just shifting reality around them to trade places with another origin version of them.
he can’t do it forever, and he couldnt bring back pearl, but he’s doing his best anyway. really brings a whole new meaning to guardian angel.
Well you know who the favourites are
brain this is a terrible time to say that in light of recent events that Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths is a c!Owen but you're awfully correct
theres no way he’s not fucked up

Even if the strike is over, don't suddenly go silent. Every moment you aren't speaking up or doing something is more Palestinians being murdered and having their land and their culture bulldozed and silenced. They deserve liberation and the freedom to live in the land their ancestors have ALWAYS occupied. Keep speaking out, keep being angry, and keep fighting to help someone your age who don't have the privilege to even see this post, to use this site, or to eat the dinner or be sitting on the bed you're currently allowed to as you see this. They and their families are dying.
Neutrality is NOT helpful or productive. Neutrality is siding with the oppressors, regardless of your words. Neutrality is standing back because a matter "doesn't concern you", "isnt your place", or you "dont like politics", which allows innocent civilians to be brutalized and murdered and starved. Talk to friends and family. Stop turning to celebrities to provide you with facts and opinions on the situation. Take accountability and action for yourself amidst this crisis
