#being god for each other equally

[maegalkarven]

The "You have ruined me" Durgetash but with a twist.

Gortash ruined Durge for Bhaal, making them desire something over than death and destruction, making them want something (someone) for themselves. Making them lower their defences around him and inevitably providing Orin an opening to strike (I'm a firm believer Orin shifted into Gortash to get close to Durge).

And Durge ruined Gortash for Bane, making him...dare I say a little bit soft, making him wish to SHARE power and not hoard it all in his steely grasp. Making Gotrash seek an alliance, wanting an equal. Wanting the things for himself, things what contradict what Bane tells him he should seek or want.

In the end they both are worse by that, but in the unexpected way.

Neither Gortash nor Durge are what their gods want them to be. They're traitors, if merely in thoughts, of their goals, their paths, what they were meant to be.

In the end The Absolute plot falls because mortals do what they always do: act by their own will, compromising carefully constructed plan of the gods.

serizawa being all like "i have little experience in relationships of any kind due to my sheltered past but being in love sure sounds nice :) anyway do you wanna hear about my boss? he's so cool~" and reigen being canonically bitchless always + showing no interest in the female clients he's popular with + questioning the importance of sexual attraction and marriage + actually feeling insecure about his struggle with emotional vulnerability deep down and thinking no one could possibly like him back for who he is..............

so anyway yea they're both somewhere on the aroace spectrum and gay for each other

#i have more to add but i don't wanna clutter the post so like HEAR ME OUT #BECAUSE this drives me up the walls insane #serizawa being the first person on equal ground with reigen to see through the walls he puts up but still respect and love him #reigen being serizawa's biggest source of inspiration and guidance but who also wholeheartedly boosts his self-esteem - #- and is the anchor keeping him grounded when he needs it most #BOTH of them being each other's first 'is this? what attraction feels like?????' epiphany #god.

the astarion & durge scenes are very fun and have a behind the scenes reason for existing YES but i cant help but think about what if karlach had met the durge ten years ago. what if the pact was old, old enough for karlach to have followed gortash to some shady part of town to meet them.

what if, when she meets the durge again, ten years later, she assumes they were betrayed too. what if she doesnt say anything because they were so horrible back then, she heard them speak, just barely masking their loyalty to bhaal well enough for her not to know, but theyre so genuine now. what if, when they get back and gortash insists the durge was dear to him, karlach gets angry on their behalf still believing he betrayed them?

what if she found out the durge knew what gortash was doing as he was dealing with zariel and they just let him? could she still believe in them then?

#ramblings #bg3 spoilers #she probably could honestly #by act 3 youve known each other for long enough and if youve been kind the whole time.. #THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE VAMP ELF AND THE DARK URGE IS GOOD YEAH BUT CAN YOU SEE THE POTENTIAL WITH KARLACH #MAYBE IM JUST TOO FIXATED ON DURGETASH I DONT KNOW BUT GOD #she keeps insisting upon detect thoughts because shes convinced he betrayed the durge as well but he never did #the durge was an equal. a friend even. karlach was barely more than property #shes so utterly convinced gortash is incapable of being trustworthy i just want her to realize he never betrayed the durge once in ten years #in this scenario obviously. larian drop the timeline when did they meet this is important to me

some terrible part of me wants to comparatively analyze the reynevan/jutta sex scenes VS the birkart/douce sex scenes as good VS evil…

it’s about the worship of VS subjugation of…

#sapkowski kind of kinkshamed with that he said no rights for S/M LMAO #no before you know it there will be people who are like ‘he’s my joker and i’m his harley quinn’ but with the wallcreeper and douce of pack #dude how the black riders slowly start becoming less of a supernatural force and more of a just general banditry and sadists #and how the wallcreeper gets WAY more context and backstory compared to the two previous books #that being said when he and douce um… met for the first time #i reread it like thrice trying to ascertain if this was r*pe or not #and then i realized it doesn’t really matter because. evil. that’s why #like what happens when two murderous sadists throw themselves at each other. that. that’s what #honestly i was very happy that douce of pack showed up and played a part and wasnt just forgotten about #she made my blood run cold in her introduction in warriors of god so i’m just happy that she met her equal and also suffered horribly ❤️ #dude when she’s fucking crying for help to not be left alone and birkart is like. ✌️bird form see ya #like contrasted with reynevan and jutta. as she. oh my god #i am loving the contrast actually it took him like this long to make the wallcreeper like a guy and not just a phantom #i mean you kind of see it in warriors of god too but. its kind of this awkward part where it feels inconsistent with the character #dude the way that over the three books everything just loses its sheen and becomes so real and painful #txt #hussite trilogy spoilers

please PLEASE go feral about The Scene w/dr harrow honestly i adore reading your metas and thoughts about the moon knight boys i don't care if it's 50k words i would LOVE to read what you have to say ^^

ALRIGHT YOU ASKED BESTIE.

This is quite possibly one of my favorite scenes of the entire show. It's not just the fact that they were cofronting so easily. It's not just the fact that this was essentially the biggest mindfuck right into Harrow's psyche, the way they turned a direct attack on their identity and mental stability, sharpened it, and threw it right back at him in retaliation. That it's implied that this is their final interaction with him before they hide this broken man and his imprisoned god from the world in a psychiatric hospital, just like Harrow did to them.

What really gets me is how Marc and Steven are on equal footing as the dominate parties in the entire interaction. It's usually Marc that's more forceful and tries to control the situation right? Lemme explain.

This is not the face of Steven Grant afraid. We've seen Steven scared, the way his eyes can take over his whole face and just shine with it. This is Steven feigning discomfort, faking concern at Harrow's words. His eyes are darker here, have more focus and purpose to them. He's pretending. Steven has to make him believe that what he's doing is working because that's what Harrow assumes about him, that he's the fearful one, the one that's easier to manipulate.

He plays it so damn well and then he gets to be the one to drop the façade. But do you believe that Khonshu and Ammit are real?

Do I? No.

And then Marc slips in, and the transition is like a whisper, there's no struggle in the way it happens anymore. They've planned this out amongst themselves, pinpointed the exact moment to drop the act and twist the knife so that it has the desired effect, makes Harrow start to question in the same way he wants them to question even now, even when he's losing.

And what if we disagree Doc? What if we believe somethin' different?

The boys are hovering over him, looking down at him, and that's the moment we see Harrow experience that first pang of fear because of them.

Then our work here continues. And Harrow tries to walk away, tries pulling back and taking control, but look at Steven. The way he's watching for something, anything that gives him away. Because Marc's the one that mentions the blood, but Steven sees it first.

It's the way they have so very clearly hatched this plot together, and worked together to just.. Essentially "playing with your food before you eat it," so to speak. And then Steven, oh Steven gets to be the one to drive the point home, and it's so satisfying to see. It's the world's biggest gotcha moment.

Yeah, I don't think you know as much as you think you do.

This is Steven playing an equal part in not just saving the world, but in their own story. It's his subtle sort of revenge against Harrow for everything he's done, and everything he's tried to make Steven believe about himself, about Marc.

This is how the boys finally win.

While it is tempting to accept your diagnosis Doc, we'd rather go save the world.

And they love it. They love having the final say, that last word, they find their own sort of amusement in it because they did it together. We don't have to listen to you because we bested you. I remember watching this for the first time and thinking oh wow, they're unstoppable now because if they can do this, if they can grow into this teamwork and continue to use it for good, who even needs the suit anymore.

#it lives in the forefront of my mind all the time #it is a MASTERPIECE like it's the culmination of everything marc and steven have worked toward the entire show #YA'LL ARE GONNA MAKE ME ACT UP #there's also sort of a parallel to the boys looking down at him here to marc looking down at him in the tomb #with a crescent dart in his hand #but it's a vastly different outcome #'you have a choice' and this was how they chose #and with this choice they both had equal input on how it would go #and there's also a lot to be said about this being a moment of emotional/mental abuse #and they finally found the strength in each other to stand up to it #and and and it's what would've paired so well with the goddamn fucking CONFRONTATION SCENE OKAY #BECAUSE CONFRONTING WENDY BRINGS US FULL CIRCLE IN THAT IDEA OF THE DENIAL OF ABUSE #god damn okay i'm sorry this was so so long but i guess you asked so #anonymous #asks #mcu #moon knight #marc spector #steven grant #mk meta

Actually I must resign to the fact that The Country Wife (1675) by William Wycherley is unfortunately hilarious

#ive read almost all of it since noon #it's a quick read. i only have act v left #first i must say. harry horner is a bisexual icon #secondly i am upset that a man who trashed the legacy of aphra behn could almost equal her in wit #at least just judging by this one play. now this shit is raunchy #im still not as familiar with restoration theater as i am the elizabethan/jacobean eras but like? how is it that plays by women seemed #to get the greater criticism for being bawdy in the restoration era. oh my GOD wycherley #no but it is funny it is really really funny #tales from diana #the editor of this 1959 riverside edition of restoration plays. john harold wilson. he's kind of hilarious #i mentioned him in the tags of a post i reblogged about aphra behn the other day. how he called mary pix and delarivier manley #poetasters of the post-restoration decline in theater... that guy #in his introduction to the country wife he holds no punches for wycherley sdlfasdf #after talking about his four successful plays he says: #'he married unwisely; fell out of favor at court; spent seven years in prison for debt; and wasted the remainder #of his life writing bad verse.' SLDIFSDJIFLDIFSL #if someone said that about me. even though i was already dead. i would somehow find a way to kill myself #maybe 20th century literary academic snobs were funnyyyyy #misogynists granted. but when they attacked each other? funny #also even though i am praising the country wife this play is definitely definitely misogynistic like holy shit #k. ive said enough

do you think god was jealous of michael? i wonder if he knew that something would unfold there between them with the way he tried to delay their official meeting in the beginning of the book

Yes.

#Lucifer “the figment of a lonely longing imagination” (god's) #Lucifer created to love (adore) (obsess over) God and Michael is Like God #micha-el = like god #Of course Lucifer came to love (adore) (obsess over) Michael #but michael and lucifer are equals to each other #michael can love lucifer the way god cant (and never can) #and god knows everything and he knows that and he's angry #who wouldnt be #alone and desperate to love and wanting to see another being and say “youre like me” but youre a lone god #ask #mine

liking both the cruel prince and the captive prince means sometimes confusing nicasia and nicaise and doing a double take when seeing their name like wait isnt that the character from that other book named for a prince who is an adjective that starts with c

ohhh man. reading soft harrykim fic and i just... ohhhhhhh god. i am a decorated member of the homo-sexual underground. and i am extremely touch starved.

#there is just... something about them #they're like. they're guys. they're literally old men. and they're masculine. and they love each other. they're men in love. #it's fic where they're masculine men being gentle and soft with each other. and i just. i feel so... oh my god #like i don't know how to properly describe it but this is like the first time in forever that i'm Shipping something to the point of #reading fic about it. and the last time it ended up being like... i was writing my own as a way to figure out my gender and sexuality so #it ended up morphing into this thing that is very distinctly Not Masculine as a whole #it's hard to describe but i projected a lot of pain as well and it just. it served a purpose but it's not who i am now? and it doesn't #represent what i want in my life now if that makes sense. but harrykim does and it just sends me to this place... i just Yearn #i haven't felt so deeply emotional about fictional characters in a long while and i certainly haven't read fic in a long time #so like reading fic that's just. two middle aged men who are both masculine and are independent people with problems and emotions just... #it is sending me y'all like. obviously some of the fics are really not great and enforce roles and personalities that just. suck. and are #super ooc as well. but the ones that i've been enjoying are so balanced and just make me crave a relationship so fucking bad #like i know i'm projecting again but it feels different and better this time and it's just. they're MEN. OLD MEN. MASCULINE. #there's no weird power dynamic in the fics i like. they're equals with personalities and problems and they're MEN. i'm just. this is really #getting to me now that i'm way further into my transition and am very firm around my gender and sexuality. /I/ am a masculine man. i am #am a homosexual adult male who is masculine who loves other masculine men. i'm not macho. i'm masculine. and i love that in other men #so reading about it is just... my BRAIN!!!!! mha HART!!!!!!!! mah SOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #i know i'm rambling i just... i am Yearning so Deeply and i just want what they have... i wanna be an old man in love w another old man... #where is my hdb. like yas king we stan a recovering alcoholic who is working on being a better person and moving past his traumaaa #also...... dad bod...... facial hair.......... i even love The Expression............... and he's DISCO............
