Former employees of the Supreme Being, they've purloined a map charting all of the holes in the fabric of time and are using it to steal treasures from different historical eras. Taking Kevin with them, they variously drop in on Napoleon, Robin Hood and King Agamemnon before the Supreme Being catches up with them.

Where to watch

I rewatched Time Bandits with my boyfriend, and I just realized something…


It’s pretty clear that everything actually happened (and any who finishes the film, for the first time knows this too..Like we do.) Which means that whatever astral planes they were jumping through… EVIL REALLY DID FOLLOW KEVIN HOME.


Obviously, Evil was coming after Kevin, but Kevin’s parents got to the chunk of Evil first (unknowing)... and boom.


What’s cracking me up is that my personal headcanon is basically canon now ....that I think about it. Evil really does seem to have a deep-seated vendetta against Kevin. Was it part of his plan for Kevin’s parents to go first? Who knows.


And why show up in the microwave? Unless he was forced to follow universal laws...the same ones God mentions about governing within His own laws he created. If that’s true, then Evil is stuck obeying them too, which means the microwave might’ve literally been the only way he could manifest in our current reality...

So when older Kevin finally meets him again, for the first time as an adult...I have it going like... "..YOU KILLED MY PARENTS!!!"
And Evil, looks taken a back for a moment. "...Their fault. I was going after you..." Points a firm talon finger a him, but in a like a casual gesturing, as if they were just friends, talking about the weather. where he has like that cocky vindicated grin. FOR ONCE EVIL ITSELF! Really is innocent, of something. What a paradox!

OMG! I just heard this. Though is meant to be Girl's POV. But the verses, FIT EVIL towards Amaranth (with some verses could be Ama's pov coming in too)


these verses...

And if you'd never come for me
I might've drowned in the melancholy
I swore my loyalty to me, myself and I
Right before you lit my sky up

All that time
I sat alone in my tower (the fotress of course)
You were just honing your powers (honing her powers, slowly getting under his skin...)
Now I can see it all
Late one night
You dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of
Ophelia

And if you'd never come for me
I might've lingered in purgatory
You wrap around me like a chain, a crown, a vine (this one explains itself)
Pulling me into the fire

[THEM BOTH POVS]
'Tis locked inside my memory
And only you possess the key
No longer drowning and deceived
All because you came for me
Locked inside my memory
And only you possess the key
No longer drowning and deceived
All because you came for me

Keep it one hundred
On the land, the sea, the sky
Pledge allegiance to your hands
Your team, your vibes
Don't care where the hell you been
'Cause now you're mine
It's 'bout to be the sleepless night
You've been dreaming of

AMAZING NEWS THIS ARTIST!....This is gonna create me an Evil doll. (A special gift from one of my best friend she paid her, and said happy Birthday)
 
I am working on an update post for my one shots on A03....I wrote it like Evil..


I am aware of the murmuring.

Whispers carried on idle tongues, wondering why My Precious Flower: A Study in Amaranth has not yet received new entries. Why the hand that so faithfully chronicled me, and her, has paused.


Allow me to clarify.

QOOP is, without question, obsessed. With her writing. With me. With my Precious Flower.
Amaranth, after all, is her self-insert, her indulgence, her mirror that she has crafted into this narrative, so that she might canoodle with me. Evil Himself.

Many writers are timid creatures. They borrow a canon, curl up inside it, and never dare rearrange the furniture. They play gently within the lines drawn by others.
But not my dear QOOP.

No. She dared to expand my lore. She dared to grant me a mate. And most impressively, she preserved my essence while doing so. My narcissism remains intact. My majesty unblemished. My cruelty… refined.
Oh, what a deliciously dangerous author she is. A tragedy, truly, that Terry Gilliam will never bear witness to what she has wrought. The man would have had thoughts. Loud ones.

But I digress.

I have come personally to explain her silence.

She has been busy.

Busy committing the greater heresy: working on her own original story.
As if I were not original enough....
She has layered so much new myth and motive onto Time Bandits (and unto myself, my dominion ), that one might argue she owns me(and It) now.
A preposterous notion. And yet…plausible.

She has not abandoned us.

She is, at this very moment, laboring over two new entries. One concerning the unthinkable...
My Precious Flower falling ill for the first time in her existence, an error in the universe that I must personally correct.
The other, in which I reflect upon the first anniversary of the moment I finally snapped, when I took what was always mine. (I obviously mean Amaranth, for you morons!)


Alas, she is easily distracted. Genius often is.
But she will return.

And when she does, the record shall continue.
Until then be patient. Or don’t. I don't really care.
—Evil

I had fun writing this lol

I'm working on a new project! I'm gonna turn this into a shirt and maybe a pin. I've been working on this old yesterday. He had so sore. I used a mouse, photoshop, and a vector program. Then I did a lot of refixing in color over.
