#because he’s human now and can break

[avallachs]

i’m aware i’m 100% alone in this, but i genuinely adore ascended astarion (especially when romanced) because of how—frankly—horrific it is. it’s simultaneously so cathartic in its brutality but so unsatisfying personally while managing to be narratively satisfying (just as his other outcome is, of course).

#ophelia.txt #bg3 spoilers #the way he still has the shell of his old feelings for tav mirrored in his possessiveness of them. that alone does suggest that he’d #probably not subject them to the same overt cruelty that he suffered which makes it all far more dangerous and insidious. because what #humanity—in as much as it can be called thus—remained to him is gone. what made him HIM is gone and all that remains is an incredibly #powerful being who (if you got his scene after moonrise) hates them for letting him go through with it. he has no love left in him now. #only want and resentment and possessiveness. if he loves tav it’s the possessive and selfish love a child has for a toy. but he doesn’t #even respect them. he’s too paranoid now. too drunk on the power he has from his failure to break the cycle (which he. again. resents tav #for allowing). he said right out the gates that true vampires are never created. there’s only ever a sire and a spawn. and he views tav #letting him bite them as them degrading themselves. placing themselves as lesser than him and it’s the new baseline for how he’s going to #treat them because the man they loved is effectively gone. it makes me feel so unwell. i love ascended astarion like okay king of not #breaking the cycle 🙌🙌🙌

ok yknow what else. I am so glad they're acknowledging the 180. I haven't really voiced this cuz I was otherwise so excited for this season but I really was on the verge of indignation about them just deciding to make gabriel a goofy sidekick after he was literally the biggest villain of season 1. it really felt like they weren't willing to acknowledge just how much pain he's actually caused aziraphale and crowley and, to be honest, it seemed a little out of the blue that aziraphale would try to help him. but no. they're actually talking about it. it's a central point of conflict for them that crowley rightfully wants nothing to do with this because it's GABRIEL, he tried to kill aziraphale, he's still understandably terrified that heaven will try to hurt him again, and now he wants this guy nowhere near either of them, and cannot understand why aziraphale would have him in his bookship after what he's done. and as for why aziraphale wants to help him, that seems like it's actually going to be explored rather than just accepted for the sake of the plot moving forward. not only have they not forgotten just what gabriel did or tried to do last season, they're placing that lasting fear and apprehension towards him front and centre and are going to have aziraphale and crowley conflict over whether or not he deserves their help. I'm honestly so relieved because I had always been staunchly anti-gabriel and never really enjoyed the fandom's overly jovial attitude towards him, and was genuinely really skeptical when it seemed they were going to make him a sympathetic character in the new season, especially since the trailer played the comedic angle for all it was worth. but it's not just absurdity for absurdity's sake. it's actually something for our main couple to work through. the writing knows this is a difficult shift in dynamic to contend with. and they're directly employing it as an obstacle for aziraphale and crowley. it's really good and it's put a lot of my worries about the overall tone and messaging of this season to rest

#not even getting into how this is literally the same conflict from season 1 but with a slightly different power dynamic #like aziraphale and crowley have the power to say no now. they can move on with their lives and not feel obligated to involve themselves #in heaven and hells business. and no doubt crowley wants to stay as far out of it as possible #hes content to just be a human now basically. and hes frustrated that at the first opportunity aziraphale is diving back into it #and once again crowley is forced to close ranks and focus on only protecting aziraphale. only now its more frustrating because #aziraphale can say no! crowley tried to get them out of there before but of course aziraphale couldnt. and crowley understood that #to some extent anyways #and now theyre finally free to do as they wish like he wanted and aziraphale still cant fully break away #he just wants them both to be safe but aziraphale makes that very difficult. he loves him of course but its so frustrating for crowley #like WHY cant he just enjoy their freedom. why cant he seize it with both hands. thats all hes every wanted for them #its the same conflict as in 1x04 but worse now. because aziraphale can say no and he can choose crowley over heaven. so why isnt he #ohhhhh the interpersonal conflict. its so juicy. its gonna be so good i can just feel it in my bones in my SOUL #good omens #good omens spoilers #ineffable husbands #meta tag

We could make Sqq a transformer in his past life. Like optimus prime sorta transformer. Cybertronian.

He'd be the only surviving seeker (winged guy) on the autobots side (I don't know all the canons but I don't think they have, like, any). Pretty young when the war started - unfathomably ancient for humans, the kiddie of the group to them.

And he arrives on earth. Discovers the Internet. Immediately gets hooked on critiquing stupid Web novels in every language, which being a sentient machine he can do at great speed without forgetting anything. Decides to read the final chapter during a battle because he's so close to the end and airplane had better pull SOMETHING good. Is so infuriated (distracted) by the ending he messes up and immediately gets killed by some low level decepticon. After FIVE MILLION years of war he gets offed by some loser over a stupid human story that wasn't even very good. He dies SO furious.

And then he gets reborn a human.

He is, as the kids say, big mad.

How by Primus do they do anything??

#I can't decide if back on earth it's post reveal or not because the revelation that a cybernetic alien soldier was the one being catty in #the comment section of his harem story would break sqh.

man especially having now read the flashbacks i think about how hard xie lian always tries and how many people have told him that he tries too hard, that he never should have bothered and that doing so made things worse, or even more commonly just hating on him for not fixing things or being arrogant or whatever they think his problem is. and some of those people are probably even coming from caring places!

but before hua cheng, had anyone ever sat next to him and said, you tried and that's good, it matters that you cared, you did your best. nobody could have done better than you.

how badly must xie lian have needed that?

#tgcf #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #the donghua is making me emotional #this arc made me emotional in the books but what can i say people crying in my ears makes it worse #GOD the way xie lian loses his temper for a /half a minute/ bc he's spent centuries in silence about this #got stabbed through the chest and buried alive to preserve lang qianqiu's heart #and now it's all destroyed #and then the second he realizes that he did something as mild as shout at the person responsible #he breaks down apologizing?? #and like. its funnier with the romance parts later but its the same thing #xie lian is still human he can't stop himself from feeling or reacting to things #but he can hate himself for it. he can apologize for ever mildly inconveniencing someone else with his humanity #i don't think he internalizes what hua cheng says here at all #but. at least someone SAID it #at least someone told him what he did mattered and what he intended was worth something #after all that time #and like. you wonder how he can be so cheerful all the time usually despite all the shit that happened to him #but it's because he thinks he deserves every bit of it!! #i feel for hua cheng on a spiritual level i would also move mountains for this poor man if i could

kicking wild AUs around with @theabysscomeshome and this is another in the Not Actually Going To Write It category, but this scene really stuck with me, so a brief snippet:

"Grand Sage," Lisa says as sweetly as she can manage, smiling at him. She very carefully doesn't look up and dare draw his attention, or that of the matra with him, to the branches overhead where Kaeya lurks. "How nice to see you. I was just taking my underclassmen to study in the House of Daena." She rests one hand over her catalyst at her belt, casually, as if she's not perfectly positioned to unhook the tome from its strap, and puts the other down on Collei's shoulder. Cyno has better self-restraint; he's rigid at her side, but most of his attention is on her, waiting for instruction. Collei has ducked a little behind her in what she suspects anyone else would take as childish fear. Lisa knows what she's really restraining. His lip curls. "This is exactly why I'm here. You and your instructor have coddled those *subjects* far too much. I'm reassigning them to another research team immediately, before you irreparably taint their research value."

Fury floods crackling through Lisa's veins, and a thousand and one retorts rise to her lips. None of them will make an impression on him, though. She knows what this is really about. Why he's really here.

*Zendik.* Kaeya was right. The strings he's been pulling lead all the way up.

"I haven't received any reassignment paperwork," she says, sweetly, teeth still gritted in a smile. She doesn't dare start to unbuckle her catalyst yet. There's four matra flanking the Grand Sage, and she has no intention of giving them an excuse. Not before Kaeya gets here.

"It will be forthcoming," the Grand Sage says, drawing himself up.

The matra are watching her tensely, and Cyno even more so; they, too, seem to be disregarding Collei as the frightened child she so often seems. So often is, Lisa corrects herself, but that doesn't make her any less dangerous. She's not sure whether to be more insulted on her behalf or on Cyno's that they're tenser about him, as if his desert skin and desert god make him an inherent threat to good order despite all his careful self-discipline, and as if *she* isn't the Witch of the Purple Rose.

"I see. In the meantime, why don't my underclassmen and I-"

"The *subjects*," the Grand Sage says, a muscle in his jaw jumping.

Which was exactly the wrong point to quibble on. Collei gives a choked, furious sob and tears away from Lisa, trying to dart past the matra towards the far edge of the plaza and the ramp down to freedom. The matra, focused on Cyno and Lisa, don't move fast enough; the Grand Sage, unfortunately, has even less ability at threat assessment, and snatches at Collei as she brushes past. He catches a hank of her hair, so recently freed from the bandages, and she screams.

The hair on the back of Lisa's neck goes up. She can feel the power pulsating from Collei's small frame, bare inches from going out of control--from being *unleashed*. Because it will be, if Collei thinks that's the only way out. The matra all quail, crying out in confusion more than in terror, uncertain as to why they're afraid and all the more frightened for it. Lisa steps in front of Cyno, yanks on the strap around her catalyst, and pulls it free, as if it would be any help against the Black Fire.

Kaeya hits the ground directly beside Azar, rolls, and comes up with his catalyst already glowing in his hand. He tosses it up to hover beside him as he reaches out to grab Collei's arm, and he digs his other elbow into the Grand Sage's gut to make him let go as he yanks Collei away. The man grunts and stumbles back, winded by the blow, and catches up against the railing of the platform-

And flails for just a second, eyes wide with terror, before he pitches over to plummet to the ground below. Lisa flinches at the distant, unpleasant *'splat'*.

Pulling Collei in close against him, Kaeya glances over the edge, looks up at Lisa, and shrugs. "Whoops."

"The Grand Sage!" one of the matra cries, comprehension returning and horror infusing his tone as the ominous weight of Collei's nearly-unbound power lifts away. "He's murdered the Grand Sage!"

"We'd been talking about storming the Sanctuary of Surasthana anyway," Kaeya says, throwing Lisa a wry smile before he turns to meet their leveled spears. "We may just have to do it a little ahead of schedule."

"I'm beginning to agree with you about getting answers from the Archon herself," Lisa tells him, ozone filling the air as her own catalyst starts to glow purple-bright along its bindings. "Especially since we can't ask them of Azar any longer. Though if Cyno and Collei could-"

"I don't think we have the time for that. It's fine. Collei, do you still have those daggers I gave you?"

Collei makes a small, determined noise and pulls two wickedly sharp blades out from somewhere in her clothing. Lisa sighs, sets aside the matter of arming small children to discuss with Kaeya *later*, and prepares to pair with him in a Superconduct that will make those blades more effective. There is value, she supposes, in teaching Collei alternative ways to defend herself.

"I don't have a dagger," Cyno mutters behind her, sounding put out. "Why didn't I get a dagger?"

"Later," Lisa tells him, firmly, and lets her Lantern Rose bloom.

#fic bits #kaeya about five minutes after breaking into the sanctuary of surasthana (he needed time to process the situation): #'not that i felt bad about the grand sage in the first place. but if i had i would feel much better now' #and then lisa and kaeya speedrun the archon quest like five years early #entirely because lisa started off wanting to refute zendik's latest paper. his research methods are bad and he should feel bad #which was her opinion even BEFORE they discovered the human experimentation #she thought his accounting of methods and results was too vague to support his numbers and now she knows why he was vague about it! #kaeya was initially just here to support his roommate in her academic rivalry and then they found collei and. well. #when he's NOT viewing her as a threat to mondstadt? he is all for getting his own occupied-by-an-evil-god underclassman #look lisa look. this one doesn't have moral qualms about killing people without just cause :) can i keep her?

Alt!Cesar : They said they liked me

Alt!Thatch : "Liked you"? Please , that's demented

Alt!Cesar : But I-

Alt!Thatch : This is why you never should have left / My side. / Sweet one , this whole "friendship" that you've invented just proves , you're too naive to be without me . Why would they like you? Come on now , really? Look at yourself , you think he will forgive you! Don't be a fool , come back to me . I know you better than you do yours-

Alt!Cesar : No!

Alt!Thatch : .... "No"?

yeahhh, there's definitely that Mother Gothel level of manipulation going on between alt!Cesar and the deer alternate in Part 6

#hail true body au #mustang answers! #htb alt!cesar #htb deer alternate #i am really looking forward to exploring that dynamic #because alt!cesar is genuinely convinced that this alternate can help him and will do anything to become what he once was #and the deer alternate is just exploiting that weakness at every turn #it knows full well that there's no 'fixing' alt!cesar #it just wants to use him because alt!cesar is very susceptible to a lot of things that affect humans now #it just wants to see how far it can push him before he inevitably breaks #and i'm interested in showing how cruel alternates are to each other and how they work as beings and what makes alt!cesar so different #exploring a character that used to be a monster but is now too human but not human enough to belong anywhere is so compelling to me fr #htb angst #tagging just in case

[widevibratobitch]

moments like this when im really glad im a sad little cynic who always considers the worst possible outcome and never lets herself truly get comfortable and trust the good things in her life to stay there and builds her life around trying to soften the blows of the eventual disappointments just waiting around the corner lol never leaving my edgy teenager era peace and love

#i mean if the alternative is whatever the fuck is going on with my best friend rn then hooooo boy #cancelling therapy immediately i never want to change i wanna keep my trust issues forever and ever if its gonna save me from THIS #is he a dick? kinda. yeah. and a coward because if dude was sure he didnt want it since AUGUST and didnt have the guts to end it till now #actually he didnt end it. she was the one who finally snapped. but we seriously fought twice before because she just woudlnt listen #when i said that girl this isnt gonna work and you trust him too much and you're attachment styles are incompatible as hell #your* #but nvm. the least you could do when a 7 years younger girl who's clearly obsessed with you is breaking up with you #cause she just cant take it anymore. and you can see she's still in love with you because you've been lying to her for half a year. #imo the least you could do at that point is just. dont tell her that jfc. just say you're sorry it didnt work out etc etc #dont fucking tell her you stopped being in love with her in fucking august #and just 'didnt know how to end it' and lied when she asked if everything's alright #like my god. yes ig this would never have happened if she hadn't trusted him so completely and expected love to fix her whole life #but jesus dude. she's not even 23 she has a right to be naive. you're almost 30. you DONT get to be a man child anymore #christ. okay. #anyway i wish i could help her but telling her to 'trust less' and 'never truly rely on other people' sounds horrible and cringe and edgy af #but i genuinely dont have any other advice #like babygirl im sorry but your bestie is a piece of human garbage and she's doing the best she can but her best is Not Much alas

[quickhacked]

he's written several books about outer space after his thesis btw. most of them discuss popular theories and try to form a clearer understanding of every one of them + their origins + how realistic they are without roasting the original author to hell and back

#personal #one thing about rome he LOVES discussing things and all he wants is to Understand #other academics in his field would be very competitive and they're all constantly biting each other's dicks off #but he's simply breaking theories down in bit sized pieces to see how far they can be proven through science #other than that he would be critical of humanity's role in space because he believes they're not being careful enough (which is true) #they wanna use deepspace acceleration as a way to generate power but with the cold war going on and everything it's like #a rat race to the moon to build the facilities necessary for it to be the first nation to get the technology finalized etc etc #one of rome's most famous theories about the empty earth ends up being true because of humanity messing up deepspace acceleration #his sister and her crew were zapped there :( leviathan's influence #not going too deep into that right now i need more brainpower for that later but it's very scary and very cool

prev post I don’t want to bother op with this but. that is why s5 lucifer is so good too.

#ex. hammer of the gods. I mean he’s fucking gleeful about the massacre. he’s having fun. #and then this is the same episode that ends with him in tears and breathing shakily over his brother #and there’s no one watching. this is not a performance. he is just. he’s grieving. #and idk!! compelling!!! #joke post yesterday about Lucifer crying more onscreen #but actually it was not a joke I would have killed for more moments like this #late seasons lucifer could have been redeemed for me if like. we just had scenes where he stopped for a minute. #like maybe when he hears about Raphael’s death. maybe when Chuck refuses to pull Michael out of the cage with Lucifer. #and just fucking!!!! let him mourn them in privacy!!!!!!!! #like it’s not much but that would have added a little depth to his spiral!!!!! he’s alone!!!! he’s the only one alive and free!!!! #ahhhh late seasons lucifer who is exactly the same when around the human characters or demons because he just. doesn’t care anymore. #but when it comes to Heaven. to his remaining siblings. he puts in the effort to care about them. #you know just like how much better would it have been if Lucifer was completely and utterly genuine in his attempts to create new angels #and he just couldn’t. he didn’t know he couldn’t and he finds out because he’s trying and he can’t. #nothing much has to change he can still get kicked out for ‘lying’ about being able to. #whos’s going to believe him when he says he didn’t know? #and now imagine a version of Jack & Lucifer’s relationship coming off the crux of that #Jack is the last ditch attempt at creation. the breaking point. #I’m rambling but you see it. you see it right? the desperate grasping at something he could never get back? #the way everything would clash. if he treated Jack with love. but everything else could burn for all he cared. #cause Jack was it. he tried to make angels and failed but he DID make Jack. #and the winchesters trying to keep his son away from him? turn Jack against him? he might. break. about that. #like I’m saying if you kept the basic plot structure of the final seasons and just made tiny adjustments to Lucifer’s character #not even really his actions just his motivations!!! BOOM!!!! fucking!!!!! better show!!!!!! #anyway this has been speculation with will come back at 8 and I’ll talk about the bunker being a mushroom #spn #Lucifer spn

yk every time i see a post about somebody wishing bad things on another person i think ‘dirt-strider to kiryu’ you’ve broken me brain

You see a post thats like i want to stick him in time prison so that he gets so bored he starts breaking his own bones to get even a hint of stimulation and its tagged me at kiryu and you scroll down and its a post thats like i want to feed him chips from my cupped hands like a wild stallion and its also tagged me at kiryu also hiiiiiiiii

#Thanks for the ask ! #i wont lie to you i want to do yo kiryu what they did to the family in reddot story the pancake family #his life is a bit too easy i want to give him more obstacles thats why im kidnapping him and breaking my little prince’s ankles and #releasing him in a forest in another country altogether and he has to survive with his injuries until they heal and they will heal wrong and #it will forever hurt to walk now and also when he sees another human being now he will always flinch and he has nightmares every night about #being feverish and starving to death and years into his recovery i meet him again and invite him to watch a movie with me but when i put the #tape in its actually just a highlight reel of his time in the wilderness and he gets scared but he cant move and its because i gave him some #tea earlier and oh this ? its laced with drugs. and he sits blearily beside me and im holding his head up so he watches the screen and he #recalls every terrible thing thats happened to him i put the tv on full volume so he can relive the leaves and twigs cracking under his #hands and knees as hes dragging himself across the forest floor and and his clipped shouts of pain whenever his broken bones catch on a root #and his enraged screaming as he grapples foxes and coyotes that are trying to scavenge the food he painstakingly gathered and he can listen #to the way his voice devolves into something unrecognisable and hes wondering how i got this footage but then he realises this scene is #familiar hes on his last legs and he hears footsteps approach not those of an animal but of a person. he looks at the screen and he sees his #own face staring into the camera wild eyed and filthy and that on the other side of the camera is the hitchhiker who ‘found’ him and he #realises it was me who did this. i could have rescued him at any time the gratefulness he feels to that kind samaritan curdles in his chest #it comes with the withering realisation it was all a game and the one who put him through it all was right beside him and i laugh and put my #hand around his shoulder and ask if he liked the movie and he fights his paralysis and he grips me by the neck and throws me to the ground #and he says you .. you ... and i frown apologetically and say That bad huh ? well we can put on another. and he cant even say words anymore #hes so angry that he grips my neck and he strangles me and the whole time my face gets purple im laughing and laughing and laughing at him #anyway thats one of my greatest fantasies its a fantasy because i couldnt do that to the poor guy im not that mean but i do want him to kill #me and for me to deserve it. very important that i started this fight and that he ends it thats what i want to have ... and also to like #cuddle and stuff ... because i like him ...

Release Your Delicious Blood Pls #you are fully abt to get murdered and your own blood is just absolutely rooting for the murderer which is very funny as a concept but #probably horrifying to experience #even ur brain which is like No Thank You!!!!!! also just has this horrible compelling ITCH in it that. just kinda makes you wanna :) #but yeah i lied earlier when i said nat doesnt use hypnotism for much. of course he fucking does lmao he's a lazy bitch and we love #him for that. bars are crowded. its not feasible to lure every creepy human piece of garbage out with ur wits and charm if you want to #eat them especially if you have no wits and charm and you are in fact a weird little gremlin of a man who unsettles people #just a quick little pinprick with a bloodied claw to get some garble all up in their veins n no one will notice!

Me @ Ares right now: aslkdjfklasjdfklasdf who gave you permission to do THAT???

#hi there non-pagan followers no I will not explain this #suffice to say that pagan warrior gods will BREAK YOUR BRAIN #in the most unexpected ways imaginable #fuck dude where are my fellow hellenics at? we need to talk #btw the answer to that first question: I did #I'm the one who accidentally gave him permission to do *that* #I'm just... not used to a god listening to me and being like 'okay I'ma go do this thing now' #like this is the second time in recent months where I've just... vented #like not asked for a single thing not come to him hoping for help or anything #and he just immediately went and solved the fucking problem #like it was just no big deal to him #'oh this silly human is crying to me about a thing? is it a thing I can spear? no? oh well I'll go see what's up' #I just... ARES #I'm not used to gods being THIS hands-on #like Artemis and I have our thing but it's very professional and down-to-business #so I don't really... talk to her that way like when I do anything with her at all it is solely about WORK #I don't doubt she'd support me if I came to her for help it's just that I don't really find myself needing to #I went fucking months feeling like a shit devotee because I just... couldn't do a lot of things I wanted to do #I broke down in prayer to Ares today because life beat the crap out of me this week and I just hit my breaking point #I didn't even WANT to cry to him about my problems and figured he probably tuned me out because I know *I* would #and he not only listened but immediately went and solved one of my biggest problems #just... took care of it #without being asked #ARES #he's too much

they call that depression I think

#the cupola report #giving my hand a break now but it felt better on the brain to keep drawing #tried it out with my left hand and it made it worse. so. #pondering also the experience of getting to live for a week minus the person who wants to revise my entire existence and how nice that was #I swear if he tells me 'be more normal' (read: silent and profitably employed and not visibly queer) one more time... #and yeah I was also a blight upon humanity when I was his age but that is no excuse #on another and a related note: it sure is fun to have medical conversations go like #doctor: 'you are anxious and depressed' #me: 'yep sounds right. can we do anything about that' #doctor: 'no because you are a college student and this is summertime <3' #me: 'what' #haha. grand old times. going to go put my hand in a glass of ice water.

i kinda wanna bring in an npc

#i feel like i've talked about izumi's ex and how they wound up breaking up with him because they could never see eye to eye on humanity #and well #their ex knew them when they were a lot more vengeful #even though they only killed those who were harming the people under their care #he was attracted to that from them #it helps that the two of them were divine dragons who remained in the human realm #is he over them now? yeah #mostly anyhow #but he's not the type to date unless they can prove themselves of having a spine #izumi never talks about him
