One thing I really want to see happen in Season 4...

Valdo Marx: Nice to see you again, Joseph!

Jaskier: *Heavy sigh* That's -

Yarpen: *Stepping in front of him protectively.* Julian Alfred Pankratz to you, you dying sounding beached whale! Only his friends call him Joseph!

Jaskier: Ah, actually, that's Jaskier.

Yarpen: *Dismissively.* Yeah, I KNOW.

Jaskier: *Getting all teary eyed.* I know you do.

#The Witcher #Jaskier #Yarpen Zigrin #Their friendship is legendary #Valdo Marx #Their rivalry is a legendary #Does Valdo know Jaskier is a honorary member of a fierce dwarven mercenary company yet? #No but seriously I kind of headcanon that the reason Yarpen is so pissed at continuously being reminded that Jaskier's named #Julian Alfred Pankratz #Is because he noticed that Geralt and even Yennefer were calling him “Jaskier” #While Jaskier introduced himself to Yarpen using his whole freaking name! #Jaskier just wanted to be respectful and polite #Yarpen took it as a desire to put some emotional distance between them and imply he hadn't earned the right to call him by his #Chosen / preferred named #And then despite all they went through together on that mountain and claiming to be a friend #Jaskier still continues to insist on introducing himself using his full bloody name! #Like what does a dwarf have to do to get some familiarity and recognition of kinship from that bloody bard? #But then Jaskier puts his life on the line to help Yarpen's men... #And Yarpen realizes that Jaskier cares enough to take an arrow to the back (or to the lute at least) to keep them safe.. #He's not a warrior that revels in the rush of battle! #He's just a scared bard rushing headfirst into the fray just because he wants to help any injured dwarves #Even if that means potentially sacrificing himself... #So maybe human customs are weird... #Maybe Jaskier has been waiting for *HIM* to start calling him “Jaskier” and officially signal the start of a friendship... #Maybe that formal introduction wasn't a slight on Jaskier's part and that overgrown puppy of a bard has been waiting for Yarpen to finally #adopt him like an idiot! #And so Yarpen chooses to skip the formalities and go straight for “thank you JASKIER” to make it clear that he does consider him a friend.. #My Posts #My thoughts #In tags form

I have to hear about "headed straight for the castle (ottoman succession race)"

that is an AU Thor & Loki thing where they battle for the throne under rules broadly based on a period of the ottoman empire where the succession involved all the reigning sultan's sons all being given provinces of the empire to govern and then when he dies they all race to constantinople, murdering rivals brothers along the way, and the winner is whoever gets there first and convinces the imperial court to listen to them. and then the remaining brothers get murdered. because i felt like upping the fratricide levels between those two.

they have different mothers in it, who are also ruthlessly ambitious because i love a good "ruling via your son" queen mother story.

what i have of it so far is a bit too full of exposition and i am trying not to get orientalist in it (especially since there is so much of that in how this fandom writes jotuns). i posted a snippet from it a while back, which is here, if anyone is into that sort of thing.

#wip game #fic related #meme answers #fratricide #i am just very into MCU Historical AUs. it's my jam. my jam of questionable historical accuracy. #and sometimes i feel like primogeniture takes some of the fun out of the thor v loki rivalry. let the boys fight for it! with swords! #in the real world the ottomans eventually decided this method was too bloody and just locked up the spare brothers for life instead. #and of course now it's istanbul not constantinople. (why did constantinople get the works? that's nobody's business but the turks.)

Enemies to lovers had not quite been able to make its intended meaning. What we have is at best haters/rivals to lovers (they are on the same side they just hate how the other is carrying on) so they bicker, with love. We mistake rivals for enemies, understandably bc rivalry is more palatable and arguably less problematic. The dynamic of 'they don't actually hate each other' gives me a high like no other. But enemies, people on OPPOSITE sides committing CRIMES against each other in an obsessive ritual, too dependent on their morals to ever consider another path, making their marks on each other in mutual destruction wounds then get struck with an epiphany mid-fight mid-stab face to face that this person is their worse half, their despicable unseen part, the pathway direct express to hell, but LIBERATION the likes which no other could ever enlighten them to, someone so fucked up but so fundamentally ALIKE, unhinged kindred spirits with the same coins same morals different sides ...

I FUCK with that

The suspense of not knowing whether feelings are reciprocated bc the stakes are LIFE ENDING and everything must fall to support this love make me FERAL over enemies-lovers. Rivalry has stakes too but it's more getting over initial distaste of someone who you've viewed as your competition aka forfeiting your pride; enemies make you reroute your entire life compass to be with the one you love bc that changes EVERYTHING yes crimes were committed and confessions were traded on deathbeds there are no villains or heroes in this story. Rivals make couples strive to be better by the other and for themselves, enemies make each other WORSE and I'm here for it

Who are enemies to lovers: eve/villainelle (MI6 agent hunting down an international killer); laurent/damen (two heirs of warring kingdoms); vegas/pete (two sides of a warring family in a torture chamber)

What ISN'T enemies to lovers: sereshaw/hangster (classic men on men rivalry they're just extra toxic); cherik (same mutant side they've been trying to divorce for so long that its everyone's problem now but the enemies are humans)

#fandom thoughts #ship dynamics #categorising tropes #romance tropes #shipping discussions #in my vp brainrot today #but i also saw a hot take on twitter that made me ask WHERE IS THE ENEMY #enemies/lovers must be toxic #problematic and evil and bloody and deranged and unhinged #it should look like someone's world had just collapsed #none of the fluff of rivalry #rivalry fundamentally does not alter any party's viewpoints #however enemies will detonate your current reality #cherik #hangster #villaineve #vegaspete

2, 15, 34 for BB, Sides ask game

Questions from here!

Thank you for the ask!! bb can stand for several things. bailey becerra. baby boy. occasionally baked beans.

2. what is their sexual/romantic orientation and gender?

He's bi! And a cis man*.

*he keeps saying this and he's not sure if it's true or not but he Does know he's getting very tired of reading the script somebody gave him. set genderquestioning = true or whatever.

(he's probably going to settle somewhere in the realm of genderqueer, continue using he/him pronouns but maybe throw in some Feminine Terms or a they/them for Flavoring, and just sort of Shrug about it tbh. yeah sure he's somebody's girlfriend. why not. gender can be an improv show.)

15. what is their greatest flaw?

Professional Doubter. Maybe even a little bit of a Hater. Doesn't believe what people say at face value ever, even if they are genuinely being sincere-- there's always words-beneath-the-words, always a second thing going on, that's how he lives, that's how Everybody lives, c'mon. Herald you can't actually be that nice.

34. are they nostalgic for their sidestep days or eager to move on?

BB is Always moving on. Those days are over, no point looking back. He's been cast in a new part and he's going to play it fantastically, just watch him. (He kind of feels like he. Used to know what was under the layers of acting, the layers of masks, back then? but getting nostalgic about it will just make the Gaping Hole worse.)

#fhr #bb #bookish.txt #he's primarily hunger scar but HONESTLY puppetmaster was a strong second contender #sorry about the herald rivalry and bloody nose danny at least BB doesnt go for the knees #its not even homoerotic herald rivalry bb's just a hater 'cause nobody's that nice and also herald stopped him from blowing up the museum #theres no recovering from that one

Title: The Dark Queens: The Bloody Rivalry That Forged the Medieval World

Author: Shelley Puhak

Series or standalone: standalone

Publication year: 2022

Genres: nonfiction, history, biography, feminism

Blurb: Brunhild was a Spanish princess, raised to be married off for the sake of alliance-building; her sister-in-law Fredegund started out as a lowly palace slave. And yet - in the 6th-century Merovingian Empire, where women were excluded from noble succession and royal politics was a blood sport - these two iron-willed strategists reigned over vast realms for decades, changing the face of Europe. The two queens commanded armies and negotiated with kings and popes; they formed coalitions and broke them; mothered children and lost them. They fought a years-long civil war against each other. With ingenuity and skill, they battled to stay alive in the game of statecraft, and in the process, laid the foundations of what would one day be Charlemagne’s empire. Yet, after Brunhild and Fredegund’s deaths - one gentle, the other horrific - their stories were rewritten, their names consigned to slander and legend.

Blondination — little blonde on the left challenged out the blonde on the right… who by the way is NOT shy and she really doesn’t like her…

She proceeds to show the petite blonde on the left how much she doesn’t like her by introducing her to her friends lefty & righty 👊s …. Proceeded to dominate the petite blonde on the left pummeling her to oblivion until she had to be pulled off of her before she did irreversible damage!!! The petite blonde will be ok after licking her wounds in the local ER a few stitches and some ice should have her back in the FcF but maybe a bit wiser next time!!! But doubtful that she’ll shut her trash talking challenging mouth!

WINNER BY EASY DOMINATING KO — RIGHTY!!!

inspired by vague recollections of discussion of shen’s brain problems in the server — busuzima rigged shen longs brain to explode to get fucky whenever he strays from his programming or thinks bad things about his creator. he managed to snap out of the ZLF-specific stuff but it’s left him with long-term issues w memory, focus, emotional stability etc. But at least he has free will. But for a few years he still has issues trying to directly harm busuzima. so he schemes to have other people do it for him

#bloody roar #head canon #meta #shen long the tiger #busuzima the chameleon #i think a lot about how shen longs character progression would work #from the tool he was created to be to a fully fledged person #i like to think he would want to put everything behind him and just live in the present as himself #his rivalry w regular long becomes less -i have to prove im better than the original- and more #-well i already have a rapport w this guy im gonna keep fighting him lol- #projecting a bit bc i had a concussion earlier this year lmao
