ada. (enamour)

fem. reader. love rivalry including ada/reader/leon. (focus on reader)

something cold digs in between your shoulder blades, sending shivers up tense muscles.

it’s a sudden sensation. catches you off guard you forget to call out to leon, whose back is turned to you whilst sifting through paper files laying across an abandoned wooden desk. the latest room you’ve snuck into seemed abandoned enough — save for its open window rocking back and forth on screeching bolts. they must’ve entered through there mere seconds before the two of you did.

warm, sweet breath tickles your earlobe. another round of shivers overtake your senses. this time, through, you recover quickly enough to react.

your hand flies to your pocketed blade and in an instant is pressed up to their throat. it is then you realize, recognize who your company is. she smiles serenely at you, acting like the knife at her neck isn’t sharp enough to slice through bone. she bears her pistol with all the grace of someone who’s caught you in her web, not the other way around.

“long time no see, kitten.”

her deadpan voice practically echoes through the silence of the night. finally surprising your partner into turning around. what surprises him further is the way ada gazes at you, almost identical to the way she did at him all those years ago.

“ada.” leon says plainly, hand hovering over his own pistol. his eyes flicker between the two of you, to the way your hand fumbles with your blade, to how she smiles a little too suggestively for someone being threatened. he’s certain you’re about to push her down, or for her to knock the knife away from your obviously loosened grip — neither happen.

instead, you carefully tuck your blade away and greet her with a coy smile of your own.

“i wasn’t expecting you here, red.” your arms cross, a guard of sorts. you knew full well of the games she liked to play. she holds your eyes as she slips her pistol back in its holster, searching for something you refuse to show. it’s been a long time, indeed, but you still remember how to compose yourself around her. it’s all rather flattering.

ada circles you, trailing her fingertips over your shoulders. her silky touch is the only weapon in her grasp, but it is perhaps her most dangerous. she takes pleasure in the way you shift beneath her watch, how your pretty face fights to remain mild. she’s no fool. she sees the smile playing at those luscious lips of yours — why bother hiding it? she’s all sultry eyes just for you, now that she’s finally managed to separate your stuffy partner’s hip from yours. seems he hadn’t changed after all. he really was the clingy type.

it was cute. once. not when he happened to be clingy with you of all people.

“once i heard you were around, i just couldn’t help myself.” her arm comes to rest around the curve of your waist. her fingers press into the flesh of your hip, easing you closer. her lips hover over the soft of your neck, almost kissing a path up to your ear. your breathing stutters, and she purrs, “wanted to stop by and catch up with my favorite girl, is all.”

you scoff, but there’s no stopping the heat rising up and over your face. those pretty lips of yours finally turn up in a smile, bashful like a schoolgirl crush. the temptation to run her thumb over your bottom lip runs strong — until an awkward, intentional clear of a throat interrupts the thought.

“i’d appreciate if you left my partner alone.” leon interjects, striding to stand tall besides you. in a swift motion he interweaves your elbows together and pulls you towards him, at once halting the hold she had on you. it’s a comfortable, possessive sort of touch. how quaint. cute little leon, still wearing his heart on his sleeve.

given the way his hand clamps around yours, he must really have it bad. what a shame. for him.

ada is slow to drag her eyes away from you. she even runs them up, down, over your lovely body for good measure. she can’t have leon thinking she isn’t willing to compete — two can play at that game. his fuming glower tells her he’s gotten the message loud and clear. as he should. she zeros in on the way his grip tightens around yours, again, cozily touching you as if you were his.

a quirk of her brow suggests ire. “glad to see you, leon. to think, after all this time, you’re still such a lucky man. who would’ve thought she’d end up being your partner?”

the two of them stare each other down with such intensity you wonder what other history they share aside from you. tension seeps into the chill of the nighttime air. leon’s coiled up so tightly it raises worry, and you find yourself wrapping your arms around his bicep to placate him. for all you know, the mysterious plagas infecting him could thrive off stress, and he’s already had plenty of that so far.

almost immediately does your touch have him redirecting his notice towards you. his intense gaze softens at your pretty eyes studying him. his broad shoulders gradually relax in your embrace. he’s visibly calmed by the simple act, much to ada’s amusement — and her vexation. her fingertips dig into her palms, wishing it was your hands beneath them instead.

“ada, why are you really here?” you inquire, and she’s pleased when you finally set sights back on her. she’s not fond of the questioning, however. she purses her lips. her expression morphs into a cautious neutral. you’re aware you won’t be getting a direct answer, no matter how much she likes you.

ada sighs, “oh, sweetheart. you know i don’t work and tell.”

guarded, she saunters to the opposite end of the room to the very window she slithered in through, overlooking the bleak scenery with little interest. you slip past leon to follow after her, grasping her fingers to keep her from going any further. pleasant warmth seeps through from your fingertips to hers. there’s no time to relish it, although she longs to feel more. calculating eyes regard you and you alone.

“leave the girl,” demands ada. “she’s lost no matter what. you walk away now…and who knows? maybe you’ll live to meet me again.”

keeping her eyes locked on yours, she brings your hand to her lips, and presses a languid kiss across your knuckles. a stain of red now marks you as hers. play glimmers in her irises. “…maybe i’ll even take you on that date i promised.”

“you think we’re gonna give up that easy?” leon’s voice cuts in, weighed with barely contained venom.

“right.” ada exhales a laugh. how true. the two of you really are perfect for one another. hearts of gold, heads full of dreams. she turns towards a silently seething leon, whose eyes pierce her every move. he does a poor job at hiding his envious glare towards your entwined hands. “how about we continue this discussion another time?”

she drops your hand unceremoniously, in favor of pressing a kiss to your cheek. the pulse of your racing heart is nearly tangible. such a sweet girl, flustered by a simple kiss. longing parts her lips in their journey up to your ear to whisper, “stay safe, beautiful.” she pulls away with an air of nonchalance, committing to memory the clear look of shock she’s frozen you into. it takes all she has not to go back in for another kiss, for there’s no knowing where her lips will land if she does.

“keep her safe for me, will you, leon? she’s really quite precious, you know.”

and just like that, she’s gone.

you nearly stumble towards the creaking window for a vain glimpse into the night she’s disappeared through. half shocked, half mortified of your audience still gaping at you, you could only hope he wasn’t put off by the instance of his flirty adversary. or the fact you had no quarrels in encouraging her.

a hand wraps around yours, warm and tight.

“careful. leaning out a little too far there, don’t you think?”

leon sounds rather relieved now that it’s back to being the two of you. ada must’ve been a sore sight for whatever reasons he’s held within. you avoid his eyes to recollect yourself, murmuring apologies beneath your breath.

then, a touch upon your cheek, the very one she’d kissed, puts a stop to all thoughts. your eyes flutter up towards leon’s. his usually somber expression has turned sour, scowling and scorned in a way you’re unfamiliar with. his hand cups your face, thumb frantically rubbing off what must be a lipstick stain ada’s left behind. the intensity of his eyes only adds to your embarrassment, makes you wish he hadn’t seen her in the first place. maybe then he wouldn’t be upset, angry with the ghost of her presence.

“here i thought luis would be my only problem.” leon mutters, so softly you’d mistaken he’d spoken at all. when he notices the shift in your pretty eyes, the sweetsoft concern that struck him weak, his gaze mellows instantly, and he blinks rapidly as if coming out of a daze. rose pink springs across his face in a blooming blush, a bigger surprise than his supposed anger. he rips his hand away upon realizing himself, leaving you curious.

“i mean—i meant, she’s the last person i expected to run into here. it’s—it’s a long story. won’t bore you with it. just know she’s probably not worth trusting completely. it’s best you’re careful around her. i’d hate…i wouldn’t want you hurt.”

his voice goes quiet at the end. his head is turned away, body tight and tense, hands fiddling with the holsters of his weapons. it isn’t like leon to speak so personally. so openly about his emotions. and you know it isn’t because of ada’s mere presence, what must be a recollection of the past.

you touch your cheek, still warm from his skin.

“you’re the one i trust, leon. we came here together, and we’re leaving together. i’m with you until the end.”

courage overtakes bashful notions. you close in beside him, reach up to push a lock of his hair behind his ear. cup his shying face, a tender encouragement to share his vulnerability with you. leon’s eyes fall back on yours too easily, too swiftly for a simple friendship. you see it; he is incapable of masking it.

it’s somewhat of an honor he’s so fond of you. it’s a reminder to be gentle with his feelings, though you yourself may not have yours sorted out just yet. but it is ascertained that you care immensely for him, perhaps in the way he’d like you to. perhaps not. there’s plenty of time to work things out.

“i’m with you, ace.” you smile, tugging his cheek until he returns one of his own. “there’s no one else i’d rather have beside me. got it?”

leon nods, convinced. “yeah. thanks.”

you pay a playful pat to his cheek, satisfied with his answer. “good, good. now, why don’t we get moving? we wouldn’t want to keep miss ashley waiting. what were we even looking for in the first place? some kind of key?”

the mention of the mission reinvigorates him. “yeah, exactly. should be somewhere around here, if you can help me look.”

“sure! let’s just hope we can get by without someone interrupting again.”

“wouldn’t that be nice.” scoffs leon, slipping his fingers through yours to lead you back towards the other half of the room. this habit of wanting you close was really too cute. willingly do you allow him to take your hand as he pleases.

all the while you will your heart not to flutter at the lipstick still staining the other, red on red alike.

I need people to understand that my hyperfixation ships are limited to one thing: a man who is usually in full control of himself meeting 1 woman and losing complete and utter control over absolutely everything he does.

I just like to watch when they go full feral for a woman who could literally chew them up and spit them out, but choses to let them stick around because I don't know, it's nice to have someone carrying their bag or whatever.

#red queen #mare did this twice over so she gets double points #this is why I adore Marecal #I am forever feral over the line: I will protect you as long as I can #AND: I thought of you in the end I saw your face in the water #THAT MAN IS RIDICULOUS FOR THAT. He did not need to go around re-inventing love #cause I mean... man was a full blood prince with “responsibilities” and he seriously fell apart over a woman who was 5'2“#and dont even get me started On kanthony #I am unironically obsessed with the scene in the library and the line: AND IT IS NOT FAR ENOUGH #ridiculous that this man sniffed the air behind her as she walked by #like sir you are in HEAT stop it XD #and of course i could never forget about Delilah Bard and Kell Marsh #holy shit talk about a man with his life in order who met one woman and became so fucking smitten he spent a whole book low key crying #about her being gone and then getting stupidly excited over seeing her again #and then left his brother behind to go sail on a boat with her XD when she clearly only keeps him around for minimal purposes #I swear to god I went FERAL OVER “there is no where you can go” said the Antari to her prince “that I cannot follow”#SHUT UP she loves him so much😭😭😭😭😭😭 and she refused to admit it to him #a darker shade of magic #fragile threads of power

Have you read one fanfic on AO3 titled Re:Incarnated? One of the most interesting and new aspects of this story for me was Subaru being reborn as a half-elf by Satella. I bet no one has ever thought and acted on that idea before, but there are some questions that bother me, for example, in the canon series there are moments where Subaru relies on Earth's modern technology and knowledge to solve difficult problems, Subaru becomes a half-elf in the world of Rezero and that means that he forgets about his previous life on Earth in Japan, and then when faced with the same dilemma How should Subaru solve it? But I feel these questions should go wait for the original author's update to get answered.

I have to say that fic opened a new door for my inspiration, and I also started to think about creating my own Subaru's elf or half-elf AU, and even imagined a crossover with Lord of the Rings (after all, there's a ton of Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter crossover fics on AO3 and fanfiction) Like one day Subaru is for whatever reason transported to Middle-earth by Satella accidentally and experienced something there, and then how he was found and adopted by the elves of Middle-earth, I think it would be very interesting how the elves of Middle-earth were surprised to find out that elves existed in the Otherworld, Subaru looks similar to them but differs in a few places,and then how Subaru got along with the elves of Middle-earth, and how he explored his own existence and self-worth,how would it be different than the canon series (My half-elf Subaru's character isn't too far off from the canon) Sorry I'm getting a bit carried away, I'm an incorrigible and extreme fan of crossover tropes, I hope you don't mind too much!

yoo sorry i took so long to reply to this ask but please know im delighted to see any asks in my inbox and pfft its interesting hearing about what people are thinking + what they find interesting themselves!!!

as for re:incarnated - i read a chapter or two AGES ago, so i really dont remember much of the fic sadly T^T but ill consider possibly going back to it and reading through it!!! i have a very long to read list though so ill see pfft. and yeah i think that fic was def like. one of if not the first fic to have like half elf subaru as an idea be explored and it also shows a Different method of the isekai trope (being reincarnated!!!) which is fun i think!! plus like. putting "re:" in fic titles is EXTREMELY extremely common in this fandom which i suppose makes sense given. the source material is called rezero. granted most of the time (this is just my opinion btw and i mean no harm by it HAH), to me a lot of fics with "re:" in the title dont justify why the "re:" is actually there. "Re:Incarnated" though is an EXTREMELY good use of the "re" imo. i love the pun <3

yeah as for the fic material itself - i do think its interesting to like change small bits of characters. not in the sense that youre changing like the Core of who they are but i Like seeing experimentations with characters to see like small differences. which is why i love aus (such as the literal canon aus we get in the form of the What Ifs and such!!). if that makes sense. that probably makes more sense in my head HAH anyway!! i always feel like changing a characters backstory is SO HARD to pull off without completely changing a character bc it shapes them a lot. but half elf subaru is definitely an idea that can be done in an interesting way imo and im curious to see how re:incarnated handled that. i know ive considered like emisuba roleswaps myself where emilia was isekaied from earth and subarus a half elf which was kind of like re:incarnated but also not like re:incarnated bc subaru had a similar backstory still but now with a fantasy world background (and vice versa for emilia) aljdfdlsjf. but yeah like i like seeing people experiment with these characters and make fun aus!!! and for me personally its hard for me to find ones i like in this fandom + this fandom doesnt do all the usual fic-isms (like there is next to zero soulmate aus for example HAH) so. interesting i suppose!!

as for your own half elf subaru au - im delighted that you were inspired by re:incarnated and are having fun with your own au as well!! :D while i basically know next to nothing about lord of the rings, your idea definitely sounds interesting, though i dont usually read crossovers that arent fusion aus - but i REALLY love the idea of like two different elf species from two different worlds going ??? at each other HAH thats fun stuff!! and i definitely like when despite all the AU things going on, characters like subaru arent too far off from canon in all the big important ways (ie his whole personality) bc for me, its like - theres a reason why we love these characters and i love trying to capture the heart of who they are even with au things, you know? :o but hah yeah ive made my own crossovers though in private (not to post, just for fun pfft) and i hope you keep having fun about your own half elf subaru au bc it sounds very neat <3 ty for sharing anon!! :D

#rezero #ask #i am so starved of fics in this fandom and i love seeing people be creative u know?? :O i always delight in seeing more even if i dont have #the time or energy or what have you to read everything pfft #thanks again for the ask anon this was fun!! :o #yeah if anyone else is seeing this of course if re incarnated sounds interesting to u give it a little read and leave a kudos and #maybe a little comment if u enjoy it or something <3 #i remember in my own half elf subaru au emilia was a former ice skater and had this whole horror show of a backstory given her family. like #if u know denji chainsaw man. its like that. iirc. yeah. bc thats how her backstory would be like if you translated it into modern day #and half elf subaru had similar backstory to canon its just fantasy-ified and also subaru is a huge nerd about hoshin and shit #and then emisuba ended up making their own isekai novel. long story.

Legitimately having a rollicking good time on this tactician playthrough both because of the more challenging combat and also because I’m romancing Shadowheart, which is quite literally the only romance I’ve seen next to no spoilers for at all. What happens in the act 2 romance? No fucking idea. What’s some popular Shadowheart romance dialogue? Not a fucking clue. Perfect, delightful, great experience, 10/10

#like i just know a bunch of the others’ romance stuff via osmosis #the game was out for a hot sec before i could acquire it on mac and you just see stuff #not shads’ romance though idk why I’ve seen fuck all from hers #which is lovely for me <3 #also re: tactician comabt #I don’t actually find it THAT challenging #but I am tbf playing a build that’s MUCH more optimized than my effective though rather weird rogue/cleric build of yesteryear #and very very much abusing ambushing tactics. a lot of that #and it’s been great #I’ve done my heavily story-forward build now it’s time to experience the joys of optimization #rosie plays game kinda okay

"i don't care about her character that much-" then why are you tagging your posts with her name so that others who like her have to see your bullshit?

#some people really are the most annoying inconsiderate fucks on this site for absolutely no goddamn reason #find it absolutely hysterical too that i'm having to see a take that Cla/ire is 'boring' and 'passive' and has 'lack of characterization'#while then seeing A/da propped up in comparison. A/da who has never been given real agency & story outside of Le/on since her inception #don't get me wrong i like her character too but having to see Cla/ire get bashed like that and then A/da get revered is so fucking wild #i am forever pissed that 8 dropped giving A/da a storyline in it cause that would have legit been her first outing separate from Le/on #save for a like 15 minute segment in UC where it shows her escaping Raccoon before its destruction #also this person trying to push J/illxClai/re and poo-pooing A/daxClai/re while professing to disliking Clai/re but loving Ae/on...#you're not being sneaky or cute. A/daxClai/re would be the superior ship anyways they should both ditch Le/on

re: that old cc post about Tessa and slut shaming i rbed earlier, on a related subject I love Jem he ranks high on the ~male chars S has a soft spot for~ scale/list, but honestly DEATH to anyone (straight women who read tid what I would call the “the wrong way”) who looks at Jem and gushes over how perfect and flawless he is and that makes him great and then complains about Tessa being a bad character because she “doesn’t have a personality outside of liking books” (skull emoji knife emoji etc.) while also criticizing her for having complex feelings for both Will and Jem and reacting to them differently than you want your ideal self insert to like… gurl do you Hear yourself the transparency

#(and then a counter point on the reading thing: so do you think Will has a personality outside of liking books explain to me the differenc…)#prev.gothictessa #s speaks #sometimes I hate that straight women like the same things I do and bad tid opinions bring that sentiment out for me #tid #tsc #tessa gray #jem carstairs #will herondale #think this should be obvious but do not have a ship war on my post about fandom misogyny I am herongraystairs4life also #and I’ve seen bad faith misogynistic takes from Will/Wessa stans too in the past I was just getting mad about this specifically today #fandom wank #and re: Jem as perfect I also don’t think that’s totally true (which is good) but that’s a separate post #I’ll say this I love his character and I also think theirs more depth/flaws than most are willing to see. I also would not defend him as #being one of the most complexly rendered chars (he’s the Tara Maclay I love them in a similar way/could have basically said that about her)

pretend to be shocked if you wish but i don’t even see mxy’s incestuous harassment of jgy as something like... Bad™, twisted or something that proves how Wrong In The Head he was. it’s just sad. chances are jgy was his first and last love, because -- how incredibly easy it would have been. i don’t think mxy was, hmm, mentally equipped to process “half-brother! off-limits!” -- he’s never seen this man before in his life, that’s a stranger! but what a stranger. he’s kind, respectful, capable and brilliant, hardworking despite the way he’s treated in jinlintai -- and mxy probably isn’t well-liked either, so even if jgy wasn’t also handsome, he would’ve gravitated towards this cool older dude who Understands. and hormones do the rest! and it didn’t even have to be immediate, or particularly sexual in nature, because i assume teens often don’t realize their crush is Obviously Showing. i’m just thinking about mxy who likes jgy so, so much and wants to be around him all the time, asks him about things, looks at him, catches a whiff of the incense on jgy’s robes as he walks past, blushes at the way jgy looks at a particular angle... just this sweet, innocent young love that’s so similar to the way jgy’s wife loved him before she was his wife So Fucking Doomed and mxy can’t even process it because he’s not even aware. :(

#of course i am myself so: forbidden passions sexy. desperate proper Harassment sexy. jgy taking a look at how his little brother #is looking at him with fire in his eyes and realizing how utterly fucked his life is? sexy #but: mxy just being head over heels in love with jgy :(((((((#but also re: the harassment #an interesting thing in jpn is that the text uses つきまとう which i'd translate as 'pester' and it's the same verb that jgs used #to bitch about how meng shi would totally pester him if he showed more interest in her and her child #that's one. and two: the person who brings that up to the reader's awareness is no one else but wwx. /he/ is the first source (for us)#of this 'rumor'. the fact that the jin disciples seem aware of it is something else but if mxy was complaining about the rumors #the text would phrase it differently. this is wwx interpreting the (difficult to read and understand but still) notes mxy left. notes that #we don't get to see. isn't this brilliant. we don't know what mxy wrote just what wwx understood from it #something something the loss of mxy's voice in the story starts with his sacrifice -- he mucked up the ritual and so wwx didn't even hear #his 'wish' he wanted wwx to fulfill -- but then it continues with the narration of wwx himself who Interprets his notes. eating my pen rn #anyway. yes #shrimp thoughts #liveshrimping #of sorts

Thirteen/Amy/Rory excerpt (spoiler free): aka how is this one of the most romantic things I have ever written?

It’s the first time the Doctor’s looked at any of Amy’s paintings with the eyes of this body, all of her memories intact, and she finds that they’re both of her, technically, but one is of this body and one is of the last.

Amy’s style on these ones is halfway between Impressionist and Realist, with brushstrokes capturing some fine details but clearly focusing more on the emotion of the piece than capturing every curve or flat plane of the face. Both bodies are captured in ¾ poses, half-profile, half-front-of-face, in expressive brushstrokes and vibrant colors.

Her last body is all sharp angles, from the cut of his bowtie beneath his chin to his longer chin to his prominent cheekbones to the sweep of his hair curving over one side of his face. He is wreathed in golden streetlight filtering through snow, the only spots of color on the painting the green of his eyes and the red of his bowtie, the color scheme and his warm smile recalling Christmas and happiness with one major exception- the ghosts in his green eyes, so painful they almost feel still alive.

Her current body, on the other hand, is painted in her usual clothes, all maroons and yellows and shades of blue, her hair a golden halo around her head, her silver earring chain glinting in the sunset behind her. It’s not a specific memory, but rather a conglomeration of emotions; Amy has transposed this body onto Women Wept, the leaves of the willow at sunset waving behind the Doctor's head, framing her with the oncoming spring, warmth against the cold- a recurring theme, apparently.

The Doctor is not truly one for vanity. Not when it comes to her face. She can become attached to bodies, to features, the longer she has them or the more they remind her of certain companions, and some bodies even wish for certain traits (ginger hair was certainly a weird sticking point among a few of them), but she’s never considered herself particularly handsome or attractive of the face in any particular body. That’s not to say that she’s ever considered herself ugly or un attractive, per se, just that she’s never always been rather neutral on her own beauty.

But the way that Amy paints her takes her breath away. Amy makes both bodies, both faces, look ethereal, beautiful, striking. She makes them look alive.

She makes them look loved.

The love in Amy’s brush strokes is as clear as Rory’s hands on the Doctor’s face and body whenever he’s taking care of the Doctor. They each have their ways of showing love, the Doctor knows, but both are rooted in faith. In kindness.

The Doctor tears her eyes away from the paintings to look up at Rory. It almost feels normal, Rory perched on his seat with his textbook as the Doctor's mind races. Usually it's on tinkering, but now, it's on these paintings. On the ghosts that Amy has conjured onto canvas.

There is a tension in the air, but not a negative one. The Doctor’s two hearts are beating quick in her chest, but not out of fear. Out of anticipation. Out of question. Before she gets to kiss Rory again, she knows she needs to broach the subject of apology. Of trust. Of what it felt like to have his lips against these lips, his body against this body’s, of the fact that when she looks at him she now has the same problem she has with Amy, where he has the prettiest face she knows and she wants to spend the rest of her lives kissing it.

But instead, what comes out of her mouth is, “So, these paintings.”

Rory looks up from his textbook. “The paintings,” he agrees, voice encouraging, almost as if he expects her to ask the question.

And the Doctor has never been one to hold back her curiosity, so she does. “In both of them-" She swallows, the words hesitating on her tongue, but then they slip out, unbidden, as her half-formed thoughts always do. "Amy makes me look beautiful.”

Rory's response is just as easy. “It's hard not to.”

#tag games.#oc: diana #oc: reina #tw: body image #hi um i added A LOT to this to just include more (especially masc options) as well as just fix the ordering of some things cause it was #doing my head in <3 but yeah!! this is fun and i love seeing like styles and such so i wanted it to be a bit more detailed!!#i also changed a few adjectives because one specifically under skin made me recoil :) case of leah being oversensitive but still #also i did reina's hair naturally but she does straighten it and put treatments in it and such so like it's all over the place. it's #straight and wavy sometimes but just like... naturally it's curly okay? same with the parts lmao it depends what's she's doing #also fun fact with reina's piercings as well. those are the ones she currently has but she also briefly had a monroe for a few months at #one point and she had her belly button done for a while until rosa came along. but a lot of her piercings she's had to get re-pierced a few #times. gestures vaguely at the coma. you know how it is? got blown up and everything. anyways.#if i missed anyone i am so sorry i was tagging so many people my brain literally lost track of wtf i was doing but please tag me!!!#and if you've already done this then just ignore me <3

This is so dramatic after a 10 second clip, but I am literally so proud of layla. She didn't talk to anyone until she was in literal crisis in s2 and s4. Now a day after she recognizes her feelings, she's naming them, saying them, and crying about it to the person she trusts more than anything. She's gonna still struggle with throwing herself into work to manage, but she's come so far.

Layla is someone who feels so much and keeps everything close to her chest, never believing that people care enough about her and always coming second, so never trusting that what she's going through actually matters to them and focusing more on helping them through (I care a lot about how this impacts early layliv bc them having the same perceptions). But she has a support system that she can rely on and be vulnerable with, and that's absolutely everything for her.

#muse: layla keating #meta: layla keating #i love her MADLY #dyn: lean into love (layla x jordan)#bc it's re him obvi <3 #but i am interested to see who else (jaymee i peep you...coop i hope)#she relies on #/ is there for her

another tangent to that but the funniest thing about the modern conflict and dynamic between bruce and talia is that if you wanted to pit them against each other in terms of parenting philosophies you could have done that just as easily going off of son of the demon alone. talia being an abusive mother is never something that should have been in the cards but her choice to prioritize bruce’s position as batman over the life they could have had together as parents of their child is something i think about a lot and generally talia is someone who was shown to criticize bruce when he let personal emotions and conflicts get in the way of honoring his duty. i could totally see her struggling to fulfill her role as a mother bc of how seriously she takes her ethical duty regardless of however much love she has for her child meanwhile bruce would take one look at an under-10 damian and be on the verge of dropping everything for him out of grief and severely emotionally clouded judgment bc that’s just who he is when it comes to his blorbos in dire straits

#to be deleted #and this doesn't even take into account the divide they would experience wrt bruce being an experienced parent versus talia having no experi #ence at all and becoming a mother at a comparatively very young age! while near completely emotionally isolated from anyone who could suppor #t her! i honestly think she would struggle to act like a 'typical' mom a lot and i would have loved to see it it would have been very cool!#re the last part of this post though another reason i will never read the damian runs every time i see a stray panel of how bruce acts i'm j #ust like lol NOPE! nope. that's a fraud in the pages #i seriously do not think bruce would ever EVER want his kid to become robin if he had a say in it like #he's gone through dick and jason and tim and ig steph though i don't like to acknowledge war games as real personally lol #but idk i do think at some point there is a line to draw and that he would draw it! i think he would look at damian and be like yeah um #this is not happening we are putting you in school i am reading you bedtime stories you are going to have a normal life so help me god

my speak now tv vault track/overall impressions are under the cut if anyone wants to read! wrote these right after listening for the first time :) they got long (a girl has a lot of feelings about speak now! who would've thought)

• electric touch!!!!!!! this is such a cute song omfg. i love the way she writes about love as fire so much (and i think it's interesting considering another common motif she uses is love as a religion...hm. anyway.) if i had to guess when this was written it would've been closer to the beginning of the process bc fearless taylor's sensibilities come through a lot. i can see why they cut it bc it's so similar to sparks fly in concept. i LOVE THE FOB FEATURE.

• when emma falls in love: "little miss sunshine always thinks it's gonna rain" & other incredible one liners!!!!!! OH MY GOD THE BRIDGE. I KNEW I WAS GOING TO LOVE THIS ONE. i understand why they cut this one bc it's not explicitly personal until the bridge and it is speak now after all. even though i think "when emma falls in love i'm learning" (or whatever it is) is a bit of a clumsy lyric, the sentiment is soooooooo dhsksjshdhjdbd. like of course she was looking to her friends and being envious of their relationships going well based on what she was experiencing. it's a beautiful companion piece to btr and little speak now honestly, and i think the themes of comparing yourself to other women on this album are super interesting and relatable.

• i can see you: OMFG DHSGSJDGSJHDKSHSKVDJD UP AGAINST A WALL WITH ME?????? I LOVE HER THIS IS SO FUNNY AND SO FUCKING GOOD WTF. obviously we all know why they cut this. the professional business vibe is so funny like girl why do u want a business man. unfortunately my brain went straight to emily poe bc the gaylor pathways run deep. where was this song 4 months ago. ANYWAY. i'm so glad she let this one bejeweled bc horny teenager music is kind of unmatched. i love her for this.

• castles crumbling: okay nothing new precursor!!! i have a feeling this will be a grower for me. the arrangement/production reminds me of an overly cheesy song that would play during the credits/climactic moment montage during a movie? idk. idk how i feel about it but it certainly is in line with the sound of the rest of the album (haunted, long live). i can't quite tell if she's writing about hypotheticals or if this is stuff she already experienced. the "power went to my head" is so interesting because like. bbygirl u were a kid of course it was going to do that. idk. i thought the second verse was stronger. i think the castles crumbling imagery as an explicit ending to the fairytale themes coming from fearless is a little too on the nose. least fave so far but could def grow on me.

• foolish one: this is SO CUTE. i love this one so much. i'm convinced that the last chorus at the end (her lower register sounds soooooo good there but we all knew that) was something she added retroactively. it feels like present her talking to younger her which is so sweet (but also 😵‍💫). an excellent more realistic thematic companion to little speak now i think. she's so good at these sweet upbeat countryish songs and i will happily take them every time. (edit: "you are not the exception" is a "the only exception" reference, no?)

• timeless: IT'S NOT A TAYLOR ALBUM WITHOUT AN OUR LOVE IS FATE SONG!!!!!! the historical fiction nerd in me is obsessed with this one. THE ROMEO AND JULIET/LOVE STORY CALLBACK IN THE SECOND VERSE??????? OKAY LITERARY GENIUS. the instrumentation is so lush and perfect and the subtle horns are soooooooo nice. it might be recency bias but i think this is my favorite one.

overall I thought it was really interesting to see which songs she cut and how two of them were seemingly because they were too "explicit" in some ways. let baby taylor be horny on main!!!!!!!!! it's really interesting to compare castles crumbling to long live and see how those fears about fame turning sour for her were already very present. it gives more context to the long live bridge imo. overall none of these have like recontextualized the album for me in the way the red vault did (or feel like they were touching on missing pieces of the story ig) but they definitely added some more color to certain themes. i am trying to not think about how i can see you could easily be about jm. overall i'm happy with the speak now album we got but i'm obvs also very glad to have these songs <3

INNOCENT IS COMPLETELY PERFECT. SOOOOO GOOD.

i always forget how much i love country taylor <3

#i think the actual rerecordings on this one are the best across the board #oh ig i forgot to talk about btr. i can see both sides and honestly don't have strong feelings either way but she clearly does and i think #that's fine #the thing about rerecords is that they're supposed to be a replacement but human beings making art about human emotions can't create #a carbon copy. and as it's a lyric that goes with a sentiment she no longer agrees with and is actively harmful that we can all agree is ba #alongside the precedents for doing so both in the current pop music landscape but also in her discography since her first album #i can understand why she would change it even if i might not make the same decision. and the original remains as well (it's not like she's #re-writing history in the same way)#anyway i love it and i love her <3 #and i think i'm going to continue to do my first listens kind of isolated for a bit after this. it was so nice to not be on the #Having Strong Opinions website and getting to just enjoy in my own time. would recommend.#OH and to my btr point i think the new lyric is better which is probably why i am not as phased as i thought i'd be #moth girlies unite #vi is typing...

rambling about hi3 thoughts from last night and processing ✌🏼

love that honkai impact just gives me brainrot so bad it's got me rotating a billion characters not just one in my mind since i started

i still have to finish ch 12 (i was gunning it last night and i barely remember what the hell happened aside from me sobbing my eyes out so i have to restart it) and ik ch 12 technically exists in a bubble universe, but seele said something about this bubble universe feels so strange from the others so who knows what that means

but ch 12 suuuuure made me cry hard about sakura... i already really loved and adored sakura as a character a lot. her story back in yae village made me Ache because all she wanted to do was to take care and protect her sister and she couldn't do that and she grew to hate humanity for it, and yet she still tried to fight for it, but all she really wanted to do was to run away (with kallen COUGHS) from the village that had dealt her so much grief

SO WHEN SHE SHOWED UP IN CH 12 TRYING TO FIND HER SISTER ONLY TO REALIZE HER SISTER'S DEAD AND THEN ATTEMPTED TO FIND THE REMNANTS OF HER SISTER AS THE HERRSCHER ONLY TO DIE BY HER "SISTER'S" HANDS I WAS IN SOOOOO MUCH PAIN.... idk what's the deal between this sakura and the one from sakura samsara.... idk if it's even the same sakura, but i love the implications that regardless of which sakura it is, she will always have such a strong love and desire to protect her sister.... i love strong sibling bonds it makes me happy but nOT LIKE THIS OW....

what it did make me think of though was how sakura kinda reminds me a bit of lightning in ff13. i swear it's not just the pink hair.... but it's just older sister things and doing all you can to save your younger sister, even if it also means losing yourself in the process.

#snow plays hi3 #this is a lot of yap about sakura (good things i love her actually)#i was kinda surprised how much i winded up liking sakura?#idk.#she was cute ! but she didnt catch my eye much #until i read the manga wanru threw at me #and then after thAT IT WAS CH 12 #ch 12 made it a mission to come for my spinal cord and it won because my spine is just jelly #anyways i love sibling relationships in media theyre always fun to delve into #see: my fixation on the landau siblings for example #oh wait i just realized #re: ff13 i wONDER IF CH 12 JUST FELT LIKE THAT TO ME LMAOOOOO #ngl some of the architecture did make me think of academia. but thats back in ch 11 ex #(yes my beloved getting lost in corridors forever city...)#but ch 12. well. you know LMAO #(poses) i am incapable of shutting up online !
