[afaramir]

do you think faramir ever found out about gandalf’s part in denethor’s death. oh yes i do think he had a part in it. i think he knew him too long to not know the effect of what he said. i’m generally very enamored by the concept of the gandalf faramir wizard-pupil relationship being very close so just a blanket disclosure that that is the theory i am operating from but like…no matter how much he cares for and trusts gandalf. it was his father he cried out for at the end. and everyone tries to keep the specifics of what happened in the house of the stewards at the end from him but i mean, he is who he is. if he sits beregond or pippin down and very seriously says to them i will not have you keep secrets from me any longer, even if it is for my own sake. i mean it is over for them. i just think that it would take him a certain amount of time to process through how he feels about all of it at all and eventually he comes down solidly on the side of being absolutely incandescently angry. which is an emotion he has never ever directed towards gandalf and i don't think either of them come out of the confrontation particularly well at all.

i mean its so complicated because faramir cannot tell if what he's feeling is grief at all and in there is also a certain amount of guilt for feeling. relieved? freed? by the absence of that presence at the same time as there is an enormous gaping hole in the middle of his life. a part of his foundation has been torn out and people address him as lord steward and the tower guard salutes him as he goes by and he thinks that isn't me that should never have been me. and i think maybe he thinks i would have traded any amount of scorn for having him back. and when he finds out that gandalf was there, that he stood by and watched - no, he may as well have lit the pyre himself - no, it is neither, but the point is that he did nothing to stop it. he did nothing to stop it and by doing that he has robbed faramir of any choice in reconciling - OR CHOOSING NOT TO - with his father because his father is dead and he will never know how he would have loved him without the war. it IS his father's own fault but he cannot blame him for it. not when he knows precisely how he got there and precisely why he made the choices he did. and of course it is the fault of the war but he cannot shout at the war and the war is gone and over and they have won but faramir is not feeling victorious in the least and gandalf is Right There and he is Someone To Blame.

gandalf does not want to tell him what he said, at the end. but faramir makes him, or perhaps is he so angry that he takes it by force - for a moment he is the very image of his father and his mind is the same keen lance that denethor's had always been - and he should not be able to but perhaps gandalf lets him - if faramir takes it then he does not need to be responsible for needing to tell him. and faramir goes very still and quiet and terribly, terribly coldly he says you should never have taken me from him and gandalf says you do not understand he would have burned you with him and he says maybe you should have let him. and he says i would always have died for him. and he says perhaps it is you that does not understand.

i don't know how much of it he means. i don't know how he reconciles all this with his very real love for gandalf (perhaps easily. after all, he has spent a very long time knowing love as a double-edged blade). i don't know if he ever completely forgives him (it is always a scar, even if he does). but. just thinking about it.

#.txt #apparently i NEED to write this. i cannot start another thing though! #denethorposting #faramir #im sorry for always being mean to gandalf i dont entirely mean to do it but the denethor girl's curse gets to me #(once you Know you can never Stop Knowing) #(the kindly old man facade is very easy to fall for) #(it is not just that he is more powerful than he seems it is that he is not entirely benevolent in many situations) #i don't necessarily subscribe to the 'gandalf used frodo as a sacrifice and expected that he would never return' interpretation #(i do see where it comes from though) #but OH the gandalf is using denethor as a tool in the war and deliberately engineers the end of the house of stewards #while he intends to install aragorn on the throne.............ooh girl. #that is NOT even an interpretation. denethor quite literally says it. just no one remembers it because it is him saying it! #anyway. here is this Second Essay in the tags

Me figuring out the story of the game just a few dialogue boxes before it feeds me that information

#razz plays ot2 #I PUT TOGETHER IT WAS A CURSE BEFORE TEMIE TOLD ME #also #I noticed something #it feels like all the protagonists line up with the gods #I took a step back and even wrote a list on scratch paper #here's my logic: #the trader is partitio because duh #the prince of thieves is throne because of her steal ability #the huntress is ochette also because duh #I thought the thunderblade was osvald at first bc of the thunder but hikari fit that one better #the lady of grace is absolutely agnea #the scholarking is osvald #the flamebringer is Temenos himself #and I was struggling with the charitable because I felt like I couldn't have linked that to castti #but then when temenos explained the backwards reverse stuff #I remembered that the guy killed when in reference to the charitable was an apothecary #IN REFERENCE TO THE ACTUAL MEME: #I figured out that the killers were trying to do the reverse when I read 'to do so in reverse would bring upon a curse' or whatever #because it's very popular #and my FACE when he told me #goddamn #I love this game so much #also hi appie I know you're reading this!

totk really is one of those games that make me go "ok thanks for the characters, setting, and general plot, but ill take it from here <3" because the entire historical timeline had so much potential for interesting and nuanced story telling but they just went with the old zelda story formula and YES thats how theyve always done it but botw was such a reset in terms of gameplay that they couldve overhauled how they handle story in totk. but they didnt

#ramblings #all the races swearing fealty to rauru made me so uncomfortable #like yeahhh ganondorf evil or whatever but also. hey. why is the one leader fighting for the independence of his people. the evil villain #am i just not getting something here am i insane #my first thought when i heard about ganondorf returning was 'wow they could turn him into an actual character' AND THEN THEY DIDNT #its been half a year i feel like the honeymoon period is over. totk was kinda mid. im sorry #it was alright but it just. didnt grab me. at all #botw was interesting because it was new but totk made me yearn for the older zelda formula #though tbh. im always yearning for the older zelda formula. i grew up on oot & twilight princess #you hype up ganondorf so much you make him look like THAT (no im still not over this) and then you just. do what weve always done #this happened in twilight princess. it happened in oot. it happened in ww. hell if you count demise it happened in skyward sword #IT HAPPENE.D IN THE FUCKING HYRULD WARRIORS SPINOFF #'oooh noooo the great evil has returned' WEVE BEEN HERE EVERY TIME. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH POTENTIAL #heres the gerudo having a man born and making him king as is their custom but they spend years in fear that he will be monstrous #here they are after all these iterations of ganondorf afraid to even have kids out of fear that SOMEONE will bring the new great evil #heres a child recently given the throne despite being barely more than a baby always treated with fear by everyone around him #ARE YOU SEEING MY VISION???? #the curse is right there. do something with it. oh my god #i KNOW zelda games are just simple heros journeys but pleaseeee i need food #you dont have to make ganondorf nice just. do something with him im so tired of the evil guy caricature #i like guys who are plain evil but i like them more when they have some fucked up motivation beyond taking over the world

could I tell you what this is about? no I could not <3

#pmatga #my art #betrayus #dr. b #butler #I have like. two episode ideas both involving betrayus and mei but you bet your bippies I don't have any of it written down! #maybe later I can write them down for once and share what I have off of the top of my head #I can tl;dr the first one which is just #betrayus is cursed by ghoulasha and gets to spend 12 hours outside of the nether realm. but is spiritually bound to his rabbit plushie #so no matter what for 12 hours he can't leave that stuffed animal #he ends up in Ellie's backpack (she found him on the side of the road) and pac and the gang are like 'haha isn't that Betrayus's rabbit' #and then they go 'isn't that betrayus's rabbit' #and then Ellie ends up taking him back to where she is staying with her aunt (Mei) #and then bada bing bada boom Mei and Betrayus are reunited after 13-ish years (but only for a moment) #theres waayyy more to it that I want to draw out. but I can't promise that I'll be able to #it's all cinderella style baybeee once that clock hits midnight he's pulled back into his throne room B)

Re: Crocodile as the Missing Kuja Empress-theory

I do wanna throw it out there quickly that we know Shakky retired from being a pirate and the Kuja Empress 42 years ago at the age of 22, while Hancock took the throne 13 years ago (age 18), meaning the Missing Empress' reign/era lasted for about 29 years

And while we don't know how long the Kuja might've been without a ruler between empresses (like do they have a system set where they know who will take the throne next Immidiately After the previous one steps down/dies/etc, or might they spend years without an empress until they find a new suitable ruler?)

We do know that when Shakky retired, Crocodile would've been four

So unless Crocodile became The Kuja Empress at Age 4 (or unless the Kuja were completely without an empress for almost a decade and then gave the throne to a literal child), then there's no way Crocodile could be the Missing Kuja Empress

#Moon posting #OP Meta #Sir Crocodile #For the record Gloriosa couldn't have retaken the throne temporarily either because she was exiled #She didn't return to Amazon Lily until Hancock and her sisters escaped slavery 17 years ago #When the previous Empress pardoned Gloriosa and allowed her to return to Amazon Lily #The point is that the timeline really doesn't match for Crocodile to be the Missing Empress UNLESS he became the empress as a CHILD #Which. Technically plausible since we don't know how the Kuja choose their empresses etc but still I doubt it #(Or they really were without a proper ruler for like 14 years while waiting for the next empress in line to come of age??) #This post was spawned by me wondering if Croc could be Shakky and Reyleigh's kid. Like I almost made a post about it #(Just for one hell of a combo of fan theories (Kuja Empress + Crocodad + ''Reyleigh is Luffy's uncle'')) #But then I realized how old Shakky and Reyleigh would've been when Shakky got pregnant and NOPE #So I canceled that post. It is not leaving my drafts. Shit's too cursed. #Almost a shame because I almost feel like I could've been onto something there but. No thank you. I'd rather not

Hey writers!

I will write 10 words in book 2 for every note this post gets by May 10th

Limit of 5 comments >:]

I'll also accept suggestions in the comments or Reblogs, Book 2 is a Kasi Book but has the beginnings of Viasaki and Kila's Arcs ,and a light bit of Marril and Shyre's

It also focuses a bit on Chrin's Arc, which unlike the twins, hasn't started in Book 1

i’ve said this a million times before but truly no matter how crazy you think the crazy woman from your tv show is. she can never be nora durst.

#no one can outdo nora’s levels of instability. #nora durst is a once in a lifetime character. they could never write her again. the planets will never align. #kim roofied (accidentally killed) her boss and marisa experimented on and (purposefully) killed children and yet. #i’m not making the argument for asoiaf characters because game of thrones wasn’t real and can’t hurt me #(although logically this means i shouldn’t really have included marisa but. hbo marisa had so much monkey in her. she was crazier. AND YET. #trying to think of other mentally ill fictional characters i love. #none of them can compete!!!!! #gilded age nation hear my cry: no matter how bonkers you think bertha is… she’s rather tame!!!! #woman who sold her daughter for an opera house has nothing on nora cursed !!!!!!!! #sorry for yapping i just. nora. character of all time. #ace.txt #the leftovers #nora durst

i'm not saying this in a haha funny way considering the seriousness of the topic but zant is literally an incel

#bwark #he wants power and control (usurps the throne from midna and forms a dictorship in the twilight realm) #he puts on a ''nice guy'' persona (well. i wouldn't call it nice but his calm demeanour was a fucking lie and he shows his true colours #before his boss fight) #he's creepy and possessive of women (specifically midna. calling her ''my midna'' after he wss the one who cursed exiled her #as well as the fact that it looks like he fucking drools over her when he says that he needs her. and then he fucking attempts to kill her #when she rejects him) #god. the lanayru spring scene sure was a scene. a very good and impactful scene but god is it heavy #i already love the midna's lament segment of the game but the scene that builds up to it is so fucking intense and insane

"I'll bring you pestilence and plague Into your house, into your bed Into your streams, into your streets I'll turn your rivers into blood I'll send a thunderstorm of hail and fire On every field, on every town I'll send the locusts on a wind Such as the world has never seen On every leaf, on every stalk"

[WIP] Have I mentioned that Raksha is 100% convinced that sending the literal Biblical plagues upon villages she deems "overtaken by sin" is the perfect way to make them repent (for their own good)? "It is only through suffering that we can atone, as Ilmater taught us. If they survive, they have repented"

Raphael sees this as quite the occasion - many people seek to survive, so making a deal with a devil seems little thing when your life is on the line. And he gets to enjoy his wife's powertrips.

The piece itself refers to 3 specific plagues - the first (turning water into blood), the seventh (the thunderstorm of hail and fire) and the ninth (the 3 days of darkness). She usually sends them "in order" from lighter to heavier (if needed).

Have a closeup. :D

In some Christian traditions, the act of blessing with two fingers held up (the index and middle fingers) is known as making the sign of the cross. It is a symbolic gesture used to invoke the blessing of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) upon the person or object being blessed.

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #azarel the hell-touched #raphael #wip #oh raph you're liking her using you as throne a bit too much #or is it the fact she's a descendant of one of your dad's rivals? Lmao #Raksha's body design is actually based on locusts but most of it you can't really see when she's clothed #i wanted to make her accurate to her Baalzebul bloodline and the curse Asmodeus put on him #She’s trying to focus and ignore him but alas he wants her attention lol

Nothing can make a bitch more hateful than a SINGLE hour —the FIRST HOUR OF A DAY—at a job where everyone pretends they can do her job better than she’s been doing it because they read something in the news recently

#it’s the inherent sexism in this industry for one part #for the second part it’s that everyone thinks they’re better than me which is only so true #I’m not better than anyone but I certainly have gotten results #but everyone forgets that the minute an article crosses someone’s feed and they think why aren’t we doing anything about this #newsflash! I actually was already doing stuff about this thing before they even knew about it #I have even mentioned as much! #but no I now have to do more bullshit busywork to appease idiots who think they can do my job because they saw an article #everyone’s got my job title and I’m worthless and do nothing #how silly I am to have forgotten that no matter what I do I have a curse #the curse of everyone constantly getting in my lane #manufacturing management is real game of thrones shit #I am very good at the game but I’m not in a position where I can smack people back often without being considered resistant or difficult #so whatever I’ll do the extra bullshit but everyone’s making me MAD about it #literally cannot stress how irritated I am that I’ve had no joke like six people talk to me about the same thing since yesterday #when the thing was on my radar a month ago and i was already working on it #I fucking loathe people I hate it here I want the swift embrace of death to take me

Arthur being Shadow's stupid storybook fairytale dream prince my beloved ✨

#Smash speaks. #Shadow cursing himself for getting butterflies and turning into an utter wreck by a charming and responsible version of Sonic. #And then having to peel back the layers to find that the glorious golden king just wants to run free and has sacrificed that for his job. #And that he still looks for successors but he wants to make sure that they're both ready and willing to take the throne. #Because he wouldn't wish this job on anyone unwilling to take it and can't stand the thought of leaving the kingdom in unfit hands either. #So he stays and does his best and carries so much on him. #And Shadow knows so well the feeling of just one mistake being enough to be branded a liability. #Of being trapped away from the world he's supposed to help protect. #*punches wall* #ARTHADOW MY BELOVED. #Arthadow.
