#a story i will definitely return to

[fromtheseventhhell]

I’ve seen a lot of people theorizing that Arya’s ending could be that she becomes Lady of Harrenhal. I like that theory, but do you think that Arya would willingly go back to a place where she suffered so much trauma?

Hmmmmmm I haven't really seen a lot of people theorizing this but I do think it has a basis in the books. I don't personally see it as an endgame position for her, although she does have plot connections to Harrenhal. As for her willingly returning there, that could either be a decision she's forced to make or something she chooses to bear for the " greater good". If Arya is in a position where she believes she is able to do some good in that role, I can see her prioritizing that over her own trauma. Either way, I think she will return to Harrenhal/the Riverlands at some point so it will be interesting to see how that plays out.

#ask #anon #arya stark #I mostly see people theorizing she'll be acting as the Lady during the Long Night which I like the idea of #considering she's the POV character with the most connections there and it's likely she'll return to the riverlands #Arya participating in a coup + reclaiming her identity in the godswood is very significant to her arc so I wouldn't be surprised if #that was leading up to something big there #I'm very wishy-washy though and I don't like making definite statements about the story lol

[mariatesstruther]

okay but wait @bumblepony u GENIUS. you gave me an idea:

mariatommy step up au

in which pro-dancer maria miller is in desperate need of a waltz partner for the american dance championships. to her rescue comes tommy miller, the younger and more troublesome and secretly phenomenal swinging-dancing brother of famous ex swing-dancer, joel miller

guess what i did 😋 i made it long

so we start with pro-dancer maria miller as she wins as many dance titles as she possibly can, trying to prove to her mother that quitting law school for dance was worth it. she’s already been taking home a fuck ton of titles as a ballet and lyrical soloist, but lately she’s been interested in smooth forms of ballroom, like the waltz and tango

a good friend of hers, frank, has been her partner for three months, and they’ve been unbeatable so far. literally every competition she they shows up at, other dancers will groan and rolls their eyes like “aw come on bro this is unFAIR” because they already know who first place is going to: maria motherfucking miller. every goddamn time

then, four titles in and two months away from their biggest competition, frank tragically breaks an ankle doing some stupid gardening shit with bill. and it is exactly that: a tragedy. he’s maria miller’s partner, and now he can no longer be that. he might as well be a dead man

frank makes bill tell maria, both because it was his idea to have sex do work in the garden and because he’s too scared to. when he does, she cusses him out so bad that, for once in his life, he has no grumpy smartass response. maria is fucking pissed—because that entire competition, that title, that trophy is supposed to be fucking hers. they already have the perfect choreography, the perfect costumes, the perfect music, the perfect everything. she’s already made space on her awards wall for the crown, the sash, and three-their trophy. this is a batrayal, frank. how could he do this to her????? how could he?????

but maria miller does not dwell on problems: she fixes them. she has replace bill or withdraw from the competition—which she has never done in her entire life. withdrawing, like losing, is not an option. she needs another partner, and she needs one fast

of course homegirl tess would come through—her best friend, retired fellow dancer, and one of the most reputable talent managers in the region. maria calls tess hoping to get in touch with her ex-partner, joel miller, because she wants only the best. he’s known and respected in the dance world as an amazing swing dancer and phenomenal lead in partner-work—much to her chargrin, unfortunately, he’s not dancing anymore. he’s apparently too busy with a new baby, which—great, beautiful, kids are great—does not help her. maria needs someone available, someone good, and someone now

enter tommy miller 🤠 who maria is at first not even willing to consider, because he’s never danced competitively in his entire fucking life (“are you fucking with me, tess? are you trying to fuck with me? i thought we were past the point of fucking with eachother. i though we were friends.” she says, when tess tells her. she gets an eye-roll in response)

to his credit, tess tells her, he’s been dancing alongside his joel all his life. he’s watched him and learned from him and is apparently just as good—he’s even danced with tess, and he impressed her. this impressed maria. when she asks tess why he hasn’t done anything officially to actually prove himself, tess says he’s “not the competitive type,” which is a major turn-off. maria is more than the competitive type—she’s the competition entirely.

still, tess convinces her to give him a chance. they basically meets blind-date style because tess is just like “dude just trust me trust me TRUST ME. meet him at our studio on saturday and freestyle with him. one song. then tell me what you think”

so maria goes, and she waits. she’s dutifully ten minutes early, as she is to every rehearsal. what would be five minutes before their meet time, she hears the studio doors open behind her and lets herself be only a little pleased that he is early. then she turns around to him—and boy, is she very much so pleased

tommy is broad-shouldered and well-dressed and tall, but not too tall, and well-groomed for a man—especially with one with so much hair. my god, just this man have a beautiful head of hair. as admires him, she also appreciates that (aside from his audaciously hot suede fur-lined jacket and cowboy boots, lord help her), he look’s ready to dance: black loose muscle tank, black breathable joggers, and black sneakers held in his left hand. in his right hand, to her suprise, is a single red rose.

is he fucking with me? she immediately thinks. a rose. a fucking rose?

“what’s that for?”

“uh, the rose? it’s—,” he hesitates, clearly thrown off guard. somehow, with only three measly words, maria notices that his voice is nice and low and gravely and— “it’s for you, ma’am. you’re maria, right?” —southern and sexy and distracting. his voice is far too distracting. it will present problems for her.

“right. i’m maria,” she repeats, mostly to remind herself who she fucking is—maria fucking miller. maria miller, who does not get distracted by tall sexy cowboys at dance rehearsals. “you’re tommy?”

“yes, ma’am.” he has to stop. he has to stop with the ma’am thing. it’s another distractor.

no distractions. she’s at a rehearsal, albiet an unofficial trial one. it is still a rehearsal—one for a competition that she will win.

maria straightens her shoulders, gets her head on straight, and steels her voice to say coldly: “well, tommy, i don’t like flowers. i like trophies. you think you can get me one of those?”

at that, tommy smiles as bright as the sun, white and pearly and perfect. distraction number three. she’s fucked. “i reckon i can,” he says, amused and sure.

“then prove it,” she responds, voice still steely. “let’s dance.”

and they do

Please do spill the tea about how certain people are wrong about Xion's sacrifice no longer mattering after she was brought back

(Hi anon I'm so sorry it took me forever to answer this ask! I was trying to find that one interview from Nomura, couldn't find it, and then forgot about this ask 😅)

Thank you anon for giving me the opportunity to talk about Xion my beloved

I don't see what the issue is with Xion (plus Nami and Roxas) returning. I don't think I've ever seen anyone claim that the wayfinders shouldn't have come back, so why can't that extend to RNX? I explained in a previous post why it is so important for them to be considered their own people separate from Sora and Kairi. And this is far from the first time we've had a character sacrifice themself only for them to be brought back later

Goofy died Sora stabbed himself to free Kairi's heart from his but five minutes later he's returned to life because of the power of his dear friend:

Sora: "I was lost in the darkness. I couldn't find my way. As I stumbled through the dark, I started forgetting things—my friends, who I was. The darkness almost swallowed me. But then I heard a voice—your voice. You brought me back."

And in KH3:

Sora: "It's all right! You can stop now! It's all right . . ."

Roxas: "Xion."

Both Sora and Xion were lost, but Kairi and Roxas called them back. Sora's sacrifice happened in the very first game. This isn't just fan wish fulfillment giving us beloved characters back. KH1 set the precedent: when we lose ourselves, our bonds with our friends can help us find the way again.

As for the memory loss: why are Xion, Roxas, and Naminé even characters anyway? Because Sora's sacrifice had consequences that were explored for several games. This wasn't just an immediate reversal where Sora dying was never brought up again. And similarly Xion's death isn't the only possible way a sacrifice can be explored, and Xion's return doesn't negate the fact that there were still consequences from her death.

The consequences from Xion's sacrifice have mostly been explored in—guess what—Re:Coded! The game everyone claimed was skippable before KH3 came out! Data Sora may not be regular Sora but we get to see how all these other hearts inside his are influencing the pain he feels. It's not a perfect exploration of Xion's pain and I wish that we could have had Xion actually appear and talk to Data Sora like Data Roxas did. DDD later showed glimpses of Xion and Sora again feeling hers and Roxas's pain. A character being returned to life doesn't just automatically erase the pain of that sacrifice. The parts of Recoded and DDD that show us her pain don't just become irrelevant now that Xion is back. (Just replay the KH2 prologue with the ending scene from Days in mind. Hurts so much more)

I think what some people don't like about Xion's return is that she's remembered, everything's been wrapped up neatly, it's like there are no consequences anymore. Once her name is said and her hood is off, Axel remembers her pretty instantly, and Roxas doesn't seem to have any memory issues when he shows up. Unfortunately KH3 had so many things to cover and not enough time to fully explore everything that Xion's return does feel a bit easy. And for future games, there so many other characters that are more connected to The Larger Plot that Xion's story might be pushed to the side right now. So while yes, the story absolutely could give more focus on the long term effects of being forgotten, there is rightful criticism to say that Xion's return happened too quickly at the very end of KH3 when everyone else also needed to return at the same time, which is just going to make everything feel rushed.

There is so much potential to explore and we've only had a brief bit of MOM and part of Remind that shows us what is happening after KH3. There is still opportunities to show how the consequences are still affecting Xion even after her return. Do Axel and Roxas remember her perfectly now? How does Xion feel about the natural memory loss that just happens with life? I think the reason why people say her sacrifice didn't matter is because so far the games released after KH3 have been prequels/midquels that fill in backstory before BBS and those questions haven't been answered (yet, hopefully)

But to say her sacrifice didn't matter isn't understanding that KH is a story where people get second chances. People who are lost can be found again.

(And its not like every single character ever gets returned to life. Repliku is probably not returning and Vanitas's fate is still up in the air imo (though personally I would not mind if they both returned). DR and UX also have loads of characters who died brutal deaths and probably aren't coming back if you want that angst. I understand that what makes Xion in particular so compelling is how much time is spent developing her character compared to DRUX's dead characters. But its something)

(and to anyone about to say "but that Nomura interview where he said he changed his mind about RNX returning" please link to the interview and I will be happy to discuss it)

(also I recognize kh3's flaws but this is NOT an invitation for anyone to rant on my post about how bad you think the game may be)

#ask #anon #xion #there are definitely ways the consequences of her sacrifice could have been explored better #but it's not like the games after days completely ignored her #her pain is relevant to the story and returning her to life still makes it matter #i think what honestly confuses me is that nomura interview where he said he wasn't sure if he was going to bring them back #dude this has been foreshadowed since BLANK POINTS what are you talking about?? #kh is not a grimdark everybody dies story #you want a large fairytale inspired story with young people fighting monsters of darkness that has main characters permanently die but #is ultimately hopeful? i recommend watching rwby

israel being so cartoonishly evil would be funny if they weren’t so horrifyingly cartoonishly evil like just asking how do you come up with this shit but terrified

#personal #if this was in a book for idk. a evil nation or some shit id be like the author needs to tone it down it’s taking me out of the story #how insanely evil and uncoordinated and incompetent propaganda wise #definitely not incompetent with their weapons #this is but instead it’s an actual ‘country’ and killing real people #i saw a fetus scorched from how badly the woman crying them was burned from the inside out #then stealing the dead’s organs skin or even just their visage for propaganda about how THEYRE dying not those evil palestinians #they saw jamie lee used scared palestinian children in a photo saying god the poor israeli children and took notes #getting lured into attacks by the sound of children talking. luring soldiers by entricing them. with the idea of children to kill #literally banning people from expressing joy at the ceasefire or their loved ones being returned

OK LMAO I BINGED READ ALL DRAFTS this story isn’t as bad as i thought it was

#with irony. #m/2023/005 #/ #i’m pantsing this story and i was like STUCK for the longest time #but i re-read everything with fresh eyes and… things actually fall into place?? #i’m q excited for this smau because it includes things i wanna explore hahahaha #i didn’t like it bc it definitely isn’t aligned with my og goal #but then reading it again i see where the story wants to go #maybe i’ll return to this

[zincbot]

sometimes i see takes on firebenders that are. not very well thought out.

#lok #i'm specifically talking abt legend of korra cause i never really seek out atla fics #okay specifically. people like to put firebenders as victims of hatred and discrimination in republic city. i've seen it a lot #and sometimes it makes sense #but sometimes. like you have to remember that they don't ever show this social dynamic in the show. for good reason #the history of republic city is that of colonization from the fire nation. and statistically many people have historically been heard by #individual firebenders even outside of the war #*hurt by #so obviously there's a societal distrust that can definitely be seen. and there's an attitude in the earth kingdom that republic city should #be returned to the earth kingdom. despite it no longer belonging to the fire nation either and being independent #but basically. both fire nation and earth kingdom people have been living in republic city for a long time #and in both groups especially more nationalist ones there is an attitude where they look down on mixed people #but basically in republic city especially it's not a one-sided conflict. there are those who get along with their neighbors #and those who don't #it's unfair to put firebenders and fire nation people as the sole targets of discrimination in republic city. republic city is very unique #like. fire nation people in ba sing se is a different story #but even then this attitude stems from the conflict caused by the war. #basically. cultural relations in republic city are messy #especially between fire and earth people due to the history of the land and the city itself #but it's not a thing where earth kingdom people (and those who look like them) get an automatically easier time than fire nation people. #that's not how that works. it's extremely situational. #mako and bolin's mixed identities are really interesting. but a few too many times i've seen #'everybody loves bolin cause he looks earth kingdom and everybody hates mako cause he looks fire nation' that's not it. there is more nuance #ANYWAY. i love the cultural intricacies of avatar and i'll talk abt them forever

[fingertipsmp3]

Family member: what are you writing? Can I read it? :)

Me: not unless everyone gets real cool about a bunch of stuff really quickly

#no grandma i don’t think you want to read my outline for a romance novel in which two rival tennis players have to pretend to be friends #to save face after footage of one of them ranting about the other and accusing him of being a homophobe is leaked online and goes viral #and they end up falling in love #and you Definitely don’t want to put two and two together and realise that the tennis documentary we’re watching reminded me of this idea #that i had but summarily abandoned because i couldn’t decide how to begin #i mean sooner or later i am going to finish it because it is the single most fun project i’ve ever worked on #but it’s also something i really need to sit with and flesh out because a realistic tennis story is SO dependent on consistency #in regards to playing styles; statistics; plus stuff like timings of tournaments; player rankings… #i just don’t want to give someone a one handed backhand and then have them gripping the handle with both hands on a backhand return #these are just excuses though #i’ll get back to it. i will. i think at this point i just need to power through my writer’s block #personal

[asheanon]

Once again, since I've been mostly invested in words (though, I'm hoping the artistic inspiration will return to me soon...!) I figured I'd just take a moment to share some word-y things today.

If y'all like those little story prompts I've been doing, I've also been uploading them to AO3. You can find them all here. 💕 Individually, so far, there is:

A Walk In The Park

An Unlikely Duet

Tea Time

Beyond The Bar

And there are more in the works! 🖊️ (They're tiny reads. Like, snack-y reads. Don't go into them with a meal in mind, just a snack. I come bearing snack reads only. For now. Hahaha!)

They can be found under the "#I write sometimes 📖" tag as well!

#I still have a few more of those prompts to do too! #I know they're just for fun and to help inspire words #but some of them actually could be used as story material! #(The Mer AU one in the works could definitely pass as such) #Anyway... #filling the void 🌌 #as usual #praying art powers will return to me #so I can fill it #with the more “visually interesting” Ashe material a.k.a art #🫠 #🎨🐌📖

You ever reach the end of a day and realize you had your foot in your mouth from the moment you woke up?

#This is about realizing I like a guy and then realizing that I said a lot of stupid things to him #Including a couple that definitely made it sound like I was flirting #But not things that just could have been interpreted as flirting #Like #Things I said that had a flirtatious context that I wasn’t aware of because I wasn’t listening #Imagine someone telling you a story and you want to return with a similar story #But instead you try to make your story shorter #And it actually comes out like ‘oh you’ve dated in the past? well you should date me’ #I am so stupid #Anyway #Personal #Mine

Me staring at the regeneration scene: Oh, David Tenant is the new Doctor, at least they might let him do a Scottish accent now,

David Tenant: *Still Doing a British accent*

Me: Guess Doctor Who isn't returning until this guys gone again.

#Doctor Who Spoilers #Doctor Who #The Doctor #I really liked this episode too. #It's definitely up there in my favorite New Who episodes. #The Master did the thing. #It had a bunch of old Doctor's return. #I was just really hoping that the David Tenant return would just be like a Multidoctor story. #He's my least favorite incarnation. #I mean I don't really vibe at all with the RTD era. #So I'll give it a shot for the new stuff but I might stop watching. #I dunno. It just feels cheap? #I'd much prefer Tenant returning for a longer multidoctor storyline because he's okay when he has another Doctor to play off against. #If I had been on Tumblr during the Superwholock era they'd have killed me.

Her SOUL flickers , manifesting a single string before taking the shape of an arrow . Drawing a breath , she takes a moment to focus . Sorry Spaul , but she's not going to let you hurt anyone else dear to her . * You snapped wires !

Ever since the fight has started, Spaul has definitely been more focused on Spafnir, his opponent, than anything else. Sure, he’s been trying not to fly or fire things too close to the Trash Zone to avoid hurting Eileen, but other than that he hasn’t been paying much attention to her. But this fight is for her!, he thinks despite this. And he is going to win no matter-

That’s when he feels, but doesn’t see, a handful of the lime green wires holding him up severing and falling to the ground. Slowing him down from the circles he is flying in a decent amount.

*Wires Snapped: 4

While his body continues to fly, his head turns 180 degrees around to look towards the Trash Zone. His Heartbreakers sink to the bottom of his nonexistent stomach as he sees a glimmer coming from Eileen’s direction. Did she fire those arrows?

Does she…want him to fail, too…?

…You can’t fail. Not now. Not even if she wants you to. She and him may not realize it, but this…this is for the best. For both of them. Keep fighting. She’ll see she was wrong after this is over.

His gritted teeth look a little less hostile as he turns his head back from her to Spafnir.

That’s two obvious handicaps now. But he can still win! He can still turn this around in his favor!

Right?

#(damn eileen 😆 she’s the support character fighting from the sidelines! I love it!!) #(i imagine she’ll continue to keep firing as these two fight it out) #(between both of them he is DEFINITELY losing now lol 😂) #WANNA MAKE A [deal]?-asks and submissions #ONE WEIRD TIP-in character #STORY EVENT: Return of NEO #hxzelwallflower

I never know what I'm going to find in the boxes when I do inventory work. Sometimes it's exciting, amazing stuff that makes me geek out, like the boxes of really cool maps and books I found last week.

Other times it's like this week. In various places I found: page 87-88 of an unidentified manual, loose (ok); the operating instructions for a Sony portable cassette player (uh...not present or apparently relevant); and a sheet of toilet targets to teach kids how to aim when they pee which, from the text on the front, I believe reveal a picture in the central black target area when exposed to urine (WHY??)

I had to stop for a minute to slightly lose my marbles and laugh wildly.
