Humanized Spider: Pt 3

So I've made my peace that I'm not getting work done until I get this all out of my system.

Ronal's leading Spider's physical therapy, he goes on patrol walks with Tonowari through the village.

The Metkayina seeing both their leaders doting on this kid just kind of accept it, like they trust them and their judgment and I mean the kid's smile is infectious, people kind of wait for him to smile and are like awwwww (because I said so, he should be loved damnit)

Neytiri still isn't allowed anywhere near him or even within his line of sight. She's definitely calmed down since her altercation with Ronal and has been using this time to reflect on herself, especially with Neteyam's clear protectiveness of the boy and Kiri honestly not really talking to her. Hearing what he's been through and what state he was in really put things in perspective for her and she spends a lot of time communing with Eywa in the cove of ancestors and just thinking over her past with Spider. I'd like to think she realizes how her trauma has allowed her to mistreat a child, but yeah.

Jake doesn't have as many prohibitions on him of seeing the boy, but he avoids him a lot tbh. Guilt is eating away at him and he can't bear to look at Spider, nor his kids tbh cause they're all so angry with both parents, except Tuk (cause she doesn't really get it).

Aonung also starts kind of taking Spider around with him (I haven't forgotten about him). He was pretty reluctant at first about the human but when his mom of all people went all mama bear over him he was like, well there's no reason for me to be reticent then. His big bro senses are tingling every time he sees Spider now and he's just like must protect, he's so SMOL.

Kiri and Spider spend a lot of alone time together, which doesn't go unnoticed by Ronal and Tonowari (and Neteyam, he knows what's up). They're always holding each other in some way or Spider just kind of shoves his head into her shoulder when he wants attention. She takes him out to the reef and shows him everything she's wanted to show him since the moment she got here. Sometimes they just do activities in silence, basking in the other's presence, other times they'll just talk back and forth nonstop for hours. Kiri makes sure to kiss his growing hair every night and run her fingers through it or pulling at his curls and watching them bounce back up so he knows she loves them.

Eventually, Kiri does confess to him. I'd like to imagine it's during a night where she's snatched Spider away from Neteyam's protective grasp and takes him out on her ikran for a night flight. Spider's has always loved Pandora's night sky and the stars so she gives it to him. He leans back into her and reaches his hands into the sky as if he could touch them and he looks more carefree than she's seen him since he came back. They land atop one of the few trees near Awa'atlu and settle back against its branches. She tells him she wants to talk to him about something and the seriousness of her expression sobers him up quickly. She says it kind of haltingly, and talks in a bit of a circle before she gets frustrated with herself and just kind of yells, "I LOVE YOU!" then immediately slaps her hands to her mouth, peering at him through her lashes. Spider is just completely slack-jawed and speechless. Like he legit can't believe this is real and actually slaps himself across the face, which serves only to jostle his mask painfully and Kiri hurries to grab his face like what the hell are you doing. And then Spider just starts laughing, his hands coming to cover her own. He can't stop laughing but he's also crying (happy tears yall) and knocks his masked forehead against her own and it comes out of him like an animal that's finally been released from its cage, "I love you, Kiri, so much, since I met you" and BAM adorable beans. I'm trying really hard not to slip into writing a fic rn so moving on.

Spider's pretty much fully recovered by this point and Ronal and Tonowari finally take him aside and seriously ask him if they can adopt him. Well, Ronal kind of just declares they're adopting him and Tonowari has to correct her and is like, "only if you would permit it. We'd like to officially take you in as family." At this point Spider's cried more than he thinks he has in his entire life during his time with the Metkayina clan but he's still surprised when he tears up again and is just like, "are you serious? Really? Like adopt me like you're my parents?" He obviously can't believe it. And Tonowari's like, "yes, we'd like to be your spirit parents." Spider looks to Ronal for confirmation and wildly wonders if this is some sick joke but she looks just about as serious as he's ever seen her. And he just full on cries. Ronal can't hold back anymore and just pulls him to her side and lets him cry while Tonowari lays a hand on the back of his neck.

But before officially being adopted, Spider thinks it's time to get some closure with the Sully's. So he has Neteyam ask Neytiri and Jake if they'd be willing to meet with him. It's Neytiri who says yes first, surprising all of them. Neteyam is quick to give a lecture to his parents, the first ever and it feels good tbh, about how they've treated Spider, how Neteyam feels about it, and that he cannot stand by and watch as they mistreat him any longer. He's been obedient for a lot of things, but he's choosing to take a stand against this officially. Obviously all the kids side with him. Tuk doesn't really understand what's going on but she adds in her two cents of, "I love Spider I don't want to see him hurt, please don't hurt him."

They go to meet Spider who has Ronal and Tonowari at his back at their insistence. Ronal is fuming and is dying to say something but she respects her new son's wishes. Tonowari is also angry obviously but he's just happy the kid has agreed and he can try to make up for how he has been treated. Spider flinches when he sees Neytiri but he forces himself to stay sitting. Jake can barely look at him but Neytiri actually looks him head on, and for the first time, he doesn't see a trace of dislike in her gaze, just an eerie calm and an edge of softness that's never been directed at him before.

Spider takes the lead first. He's spent a lot of time thinking about his past and his relationship with the Sully's (or lack thereof) and a lot of Kiri, Neteyam, Tonowari, Ronal, and even Lo'ak (in a clumsy but endearing way) constantly telling him that he had deserved to be treated better, that who his parents were and had done wasn't his fault, that he was worthy, that it was wrong of them to leave him with the RDA. He couldn't really accept it at first, even vehemently denied it saying he understood. And while his understanding of their actions being motivated by trauma and stuff remained the same, he'd finally come to accept that he had deserved better. And he says as much to the two of them. It's nerve-wracking as hell, but it feels amazing to say, to finally express to them how hurt he felt by Neytiri's dislike for him, how awful it had been to have Jake be kind to him but pull away when it began to feel like anything. I lowkey think Jake starts crying tbh while Neytiri just listens calmly and takes everything in.

When he's done, Neytiri speaks first and wholeheartedly apologizes to him, not averting her gaze or anything. She says that he's right, that her experiences clouded her judgment and hardened her heart against him unfairly. It had drawn a thick veil over her eyes and she'd never tried to see him for who he was and not his blood. She makes no excuses for the way she treated him and says she doesn't dare ask for his forgiveness because she doesn't deserve it. She ignored one of the Great Mother's most important teachings and that will weigh on her always. She doesn't apologize for cutting him on the ship because she did what she felt needed to be done to save her daughter. And frankly Spider agrees which has Ronal about to go off in protest, but Spider smiles at her and she backs down reluctantly. Neytiri apologizes for everything else though and swears to Eywa that she will never do or say anything to consciously hurt Spider again, which seriously shocks him. An oath to Eywa is a big deal after all. He almost chokes up because of it. And then actually does when she says, "I see you" and he can feel she really does.

Jake frankly has no words but tries his best to blubber through an apology about keeping him at arms length, not making sure he as cared for better, for leaving him behind and never attempting to rescue him. I'm not super invested in his apology as I'm writing this rn so I'm gonna skip past it but yeah.

Spider steals himself then because he's about to admit something big to them. He's already told his new parents and they've coached him on how best to broach the subject. So he tells them that he knows they don't want to hear about Quarritch but it goes hand in hand with their treatment of his and his overall lack of adult care in his life. He explains with some difficulty what was done to him by the RDA, that Quarritch pulled him out of the torture, gave him more care than he'd ever received before and had been the first adult to genuinely care for his life despite how messed up that was. And then he admits to having saved Quarritch, that he made that split second decision because he couldn't just sit and let the only person who'd ever really cared about him drown. Neytiri is shocked to her core. She wants to run and scream but she sees Spider now, truly, and made an oath to Eywa, so she can't help but face up to the fact that this development was her fault. In her fear of how Spider would turn out like his father, she'd inadvertently contributed to this decision. In not going back for him and just taking Kiri with her and leaving, she had created this situation. So she doesn't get mad, doesn't feel like she's allowed to and apologizes to him again, but makes sure he knows that if she ever sees Quarritch again, she will kill him with no hesitation.

AND THAT'S THAT YALL! For now anyway, I'd accept any asks about this AU (would love to receive some) because I've had a lot of fun writing this even if it hurts me. Spider is adopted by Tonowari and Ronal, recovers, finds his place in the village. Kiri and him go public and Kiri's ready to beat up anyone who says anything about it. Lo'ak is shook and Neteyam's just like FINALLY. Spider and Neteyam are closer than they've ever been. Obviously shit's gonna happen since the RDA is gone but Spider finally feels like he's rooted somewhere, like he's okay and doesn't only have to rely on himself to take care of himself. He's got a family now who fusses over him obsessively. He's about to become a big brother. The love of his life LOVES HIM BACK! And he starts wearing his hair mostly curly and finds his own sense of identity, no longer trying to copy Jake or try so hard to fit in.

I'd like to say he's eventually blessed by Eywa and can breathe their air BECAUSE HE DESERVES IT! But yeah that's enough for now. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED!

PS Ronal and Tonowari begin making him a new songcord.

wow i legit was not expecting to add so many triggers but baby seongie has really been through it bro, kinda nearly teared up at one point writing this 🥲 anyways enjoy.

⊂ HIS ✶ CHILDHOOD ⊃

PARK HOSEONG was born on December 30th, 1994 to parents Park Jaehyeong and Park Mina within Buk-gu District, Daegu, South Korea. Hoseong recalls his mother telling him about the birth, and how it had actually taken place right at home in their little bathtub due to some flooding in the area. It had been a very risky endeavour, but luckily Hoseong had come out healthy, immediately crying for his mother who would coo as she coddled him close.

GROWING UP, THEY were pretty well off. Of course, they weren’t exactly rich, but they had enough money to comfortably get by at the time due to Jaehyeong’s years travelling as a musician with his band. He had accumulated some wealth for them to move into a small two bedroom apartment where Hoseong was offered a room to himself whilst his parents shared the other. Life was doing them well, and about four years after Hoseong’s birth, his little sister would then be born too.

EVEN BEFORE SHE had come out of the womb, Hoseong had adored his little sister dearly. He would often come up to his mother almost everyday and would ask her if it’s time yet, to which his mother would laugh at him and tell him “she needs a little more time than just a couple of days if you want her to be strong enough to play with you”. Hoseong would sing songs to his little sister a lot, often rubbing his mother’s belly and getting so excited when she would kick. He really just enjoyed the idea of having someone to play with, to take care of and protect. He was very good at being a brother figure.

IT WAS AROUND SIX years of age, though, when Hoseong and his family’s lives would truly be turned upside down. He was so young; it was a terrible event to have to endure. His parents had taken his little sister, Park Sohee, with them to buy some new clothes as she was getting older. Hoseong had decided he would stay at home with a babysitter. The girl was their neighbour’s daughter and attended high school, and even she had suffered at the hands of the bastards that had burgled their home that night.

HIDING UNDER THE table in his bedroom, Hoseong was advised to cover his ears tightly, and that no matter what, he wasn’t to come out of that room. He still hears her screams to this day – how she had begged for them to leave, and how she’d defended his home ultimately to fall victim to their ghastly abuse. They had taken everything. They barely left a trace of his old life.

THE SCREAMING, the kicking and crying and punching. It had been too much for him. He knew this girl – she’d always been so sweet, and would take care of him even when he threw tantrums sometimes, and the people outside his bedroom door were clearly hurting her badly. He knew he was advised against it, but he’d opened that door and fought tooth and nail, until his last breath before he was knocked unconscious completely. He still has the scar from when he’d hit the table as he collapsed.

HIS PARENTS HAD probably never recovered either. They had come back to a nearly empty house, with their son on the floor and bleeding from an injury to his head. The babysitter was in a far worse condition beside him. She hadn’t been able to go back to normal life after that. Her face was never the same, and her parents blamed the Park family for all of it. Hoseong had recovered far better, after all. Why was he so lucky?

AFTER THIS INCIDENT, they had nothing. Nobody would help them, and they had to sell the house in order to pay for daily necessities such as tuition fees and food. Jaehyeong used some of the spare cash that he received from his street singing in order to pay for Hoseong’s judo classes. He wanted his son to be able to defend himself from such incidents if they were to occur again. His parents had sacrificed a lot for him.

⊂ PRE ✶ DEBUT ⊃

AS HOSEONG PROGRESSED into his teenage years, he started to understand more deeply about the situation his family was in. His mother tried to find a job, but she wasn’t educated enough to earn high wages. Jaehyeong was working a few odd jobs, from his singing to delivering newspapers and magazines, carrying loads and dumping them into trucks. Hoseong wanted to start helping out more actively so by the age of 13, he had been able to obtain a work permit in his name.

HIS PARENTS HAVE ALWAYS tried very hard to put food on the table for Hoseong and Sohee, but because his sister was so much younger, they would pay more attention to her needs. Hoseong never took it to heart. He had grown to be mature very quickly in these circumstances, and would often share his own meals and put the food on Sohee’s plate. This meant that he was pretty malnourished himself, and so many employers wouldn’t take him on in case he collapsed due to exhaustion or other issues. That meant that Hoseong, too, could only complete odd jobs in order to support his parents and sister.

HE WORKED TIRELESSLY. As soon as he would arrive home from school, he would be leaving just as quickly to earn some extra cash. His main motivation was to never let Sohee feel the losses of poverty. He didn’t want her to have to pass up on good opportunities or feel ashamed of their family situation, and so a lot of the money he earned would go to her studies, books and clothes. He only ever had time to himself during the night where he would sometimes stay up to watch reruns of M Countdown.

HIS FATHER HAD CAUGHT him singing to himself on more than one occasion. Hoseong, although untrained, still had a beautiful singing voice in Jaehyeong’s eyes. He had asked Hoseong if he wanted to accompany him whenever he would go out to sing on the streets of Daegu – not as a part time job, but to live. Jaehyeong had always used singing as his outlet for all the things that he wished to run away from, and it seemed to be that his talent was passed down to Hoseong too. The boy had agreed with wide eyes.

AND THAT WAS HOW HE had been scouted by JYP. He had many original songs he would write in his free time, and his dad had given him the opportunity to be able to sing these in public to an audience that absolutely adored him. He remembers so many big names, talent agencies contacting his dad asking him to audition for them, and he did. He was accepted into JYP with open arms, and he had actually been a trainee there for one solid year before finding out about GLOSS being recruited into Bighit Entertainment.

GLOSS WAS A PRETTY recognised name within the underground rap scene in Daegu. Hoseong would hear comments about him from people when he was working, and even from classmates who would actually attend these battles that took place. He’d only attended the underground rap scene once, and GLOSS had been the most vivid memory of his night there. He knew the man had talent, and even looked up to his lyrics, so hearing him be recruited into another company only meant he had to follow suit.

HOSEONG HAD JOINED Bighit Entertainment because of Min Yoongi. Honestly, he wasn’t entirely sure of taking such a big step. Bighit, at the time, had no reputation at all. They were a small company with minimal experience, and JYP had far more to offer him, but his instincts had told him to take the risk, and honestly as the years went by during his trainee period, he was beginning to at least be thankful to the friends he had made along the way.

OF COURSE IT WASN’T all sunshines and rainbows. He knew he had to work hard in order to excel and shine, especially after finding out this was supposed to be a hip-hop group in the end. He needed to learn rap, needed to learn dance, and maintain an ideal weight if he wished to not be belittled or kicked from the company.

A LOT OF THE BOYS THERE would actually make fun of Hoseong’s appearance behind his back. He dealt with a lot of self image issues, and ate even less as a result of his lost appetite. He knew maintaining a low weight was the ideal for debuting and being accepted in the eyes of the staff, so he had actually found it as a win that he didn’t eat so much. It was only Namjoon, Yoongi and Hoseok who would actively encourage him to eat more.

AS THE YEARS WENT BY, more trainees would join. This meant more competition for Hoseong who would work day and night to perfect every aspect of his craft for monthly evaluations. He would collapse from over exhaustion sometimes after practicing so late into the night and not getting enough sleep. Debuting meant more to him than anything, because if he didn’t debut, then his parents’ sacrifices would have been for nothing. Him being here wasn’t for him, but for his parents. He needed to give back for all that they had lost, for pushing through even when they were at their lowest point.

HIS BIGGEST WISH WAS to make sure his parents never felt the pain of poverty again.

⊂ DEBUT ✶ & BEYOND ⊃

HOSEONG HAD CRIED for hours on the day their debut was announced. He always kept low expectations in order to not be disappointed, and so when he first heard the news, he had genuinely thought it was some sort of prank. It had taken all of the members collectively to convince him that yes, this was really real. None of them had known what to do, but they ended up having a long cookout late into the night together. It had been a fond memory.

WHAT HADN’T BEEN A fond memory, however, was the mistreatment that they would face in the following years after. They were aware that they had to work twice as hard to be recognised since they were from such a small company, but Hoseong particularly remembers the way they were ignored by media outlets and belittled for their concept. He understood that not everybody savoured hip-hop, but receiving so many dismissals for a request to simply spread their message with people seemed just a little malicious.

AND THEN, NOT EVEN three years into their debut, Hoseong was informed that Park Sohee had died by suicide. He had to deal with so much grief, later finding out that his little sister was being bullied in school because of her poor background and her brother’s “flop group”. She couldn’t handle all of the insults. She internalised them to a point that she believed the only way out was by suicide. Hoseong couldn’t have felt more guilty. He had to take a break from the group’s projects and even developed survivor’s guilt and PTSD which he needed to attend therapy for. His life felt like it was collapsing all over again.

THE GROUP WOULD RECEIVE continuous criticism and death threats. They were hated by fans of other groups and received shady comments from some sunbaes, and all of these experiences were hardest for Hoseong to bare. The members knew he was in a vulnerable place, and so instead of listening to all of these outsiders, they began to encourage each other more. Namjoon was one of the biggest forces during this time in Hoseong’s life and the group’s image. He helped Hoseong to push through, always telling him about how they would have the last laugh.

FAST FORWARD TO AROUND 2O16, and things were finally starting to look up a little bit. They had won their very first Daesang, and Hoseong doesn’t think he could have been happier than he was in that moment. He remembers that even his parents had called him that night, crying as they congratulated him for his hard work and recognition. He deserved this, and that first win simply solidified his resolve to keep going.

THEIR LOVE YOURSELF SERIES had been Hoseong’s favourite. It was the era; one that showered him with so much love and care from ARMY that he couldn’t help but break down into tears on stage. It was an overwhelming experience, and a very healing one as well. With everyone’s help, he had begun to truly understand what it was like to let go and start to love himself. He doesn’t think he could ever truly go back to the way things were without ARMY.

STEADILY, THROUGH THEIR UPS and their downs, BTS’s career would skyrocket into international stardom. There was no way but up now, and they began to grow and grow, larger and larger, all the way until their present day today. Chapter 1 has been such a glorious ride; Hoseong has grown and gained new experiences and insights, and he honestly wishes to continue his career as an idol for far more years to come.

THEIR SUCCESS HAS IMPACTED him in a way where he just doesn’t have any words. Sometimes a little voice will creep in to ask him if he really deserves it, but it is quashed quickly by the everlasting love that he receives no matter where he is. There’s people talking about him from all walks of life, telling others about how he helped them overcome many of their own difficulties, or how sweet he is and just how much he gives back to fans too.

IF SOMEONE WERE TO ASK HIM if he’s achieved his dream, he thinks he could finally say yes and mean it.

💬 — HOSEONG’S TAGLIST.

hello hi welcome to unhinged recaps. todays’s episode is chapter 18 aka tears are streaming down my face.

of course we start off this page with Annabella immediately getting chomped on by her big body built rogue boyfriend because what other way is there to start this? did you expect normal circumstance? you seriously need to stop doing that.

so, Mr. Scorpion wants to play a lil game with Bella, he’s always been a fan of twister and wants to put her ass through the works. he’s a fucking weirdo but he’s hot so it’s okay. anyways, he’s got a grip on her and starts whispering something about “little rabbit” as if we aren’t in the room.

like, sir, aren’t you watching where you’re going? don’t you see us right here? keep your possessive little prey nicknames to yourself idc how hot they are.

he’s pulling all these touchy talky tactics and Bella is going through it. you’d think that someone like her who is already in the trenches because, let’s not forget, her mom is literally missing and doing fuckall in the middle of nowhere, would be like “mm get off” but no. Bella is thriving. good for her.

Damon, being a large gremlin, is getting his hands all over her which they both enjoy. he’s acting like a man dying of thirst with the way he’s kissing her. someone get this man real water before he gets cotton mouth bro i stg.

all his kissing, touching, and sucking has got Bella trembling like a literal leaf. her body is electrifying itself, she’s overheating, she’s combusting and exploding at the seems. she is hotter then the drama between Lana del Rey and Lorde all because Damon’s got both magic fingers and magic tongue. bro is a wizard.

Damon’s got Bella in the hot tub and he’s legit right in between her legs, she’s spread eagle like Patrick Star in fishnets. He’s down there having the time of his life being a sex God or some shit but he wants more. he wants to hear Bella beg a little but ofc it’s never that simple.

Bella is not one to beg, she ain’t no little bitch. she’s a soldier who can take her pleasure into her own hands so she attempts, keyword being attempts. legit the second her fingers touched her own clit Damon gets more offended than white girls who didn’t get those Valentine’s Day Stanley cups.

she is, quite literally, shaking in need but Damon doesn’t give a shit. if she didn’t say please, his tongue would simply leave the function (her clit) and she’s be stuck there for ages. after some denial and pinning down though Bella gives in and lets out that little please Damon’s been hounding for.

you get the picture at this point. sex freaks start doing sex things. Damon worships Bella both inside and out, she figures out she can squirt and nearly drowns the whole god damn building, then they get out the water and go to their room.

now, I wanna point out that at this point in the story we don’t get much of Damon’s history other then the gang he’s in and his dads a cunt. when he plops Bella onto the bed she gets a good look at his back and what does she see? scars. whip scars.

bro has whip scars like he’s James Alexander Malcom Mackenzie Fraser, the old scotland special.

anyways, it’s drama. drama trauma drama, very sad shit is said. not only is Damon’s dad a dick he is also an abuser. i wish death upon this man but that’s too merciful so we need to come up with a better plan.

after they have their little turmoil moment they pass tf out and sleep like normal people. this is the most normal behavior i’ve seen either of them display the entire fucking book. next morning Bella wakes up wondering “hey where’s my big ass damn ass boyfriend” and assumes he’s downstairs whipping it up in the kitchen but uh oh, he’s not there. the other girlies are lingering around but Damon is no where in sight because ofc he isn’t. if this was normal circumstance, he’d be there but we established that normal doesn’t EXIST.

Bella asked the other members of The Bad Girls Club where her lil freak is and they tell her they’re not sure. they notice his car is gone and try to justify it, but that’s when the smart himbo aka JJ connects the dots and realizes that Damon isn’t just taking a stroll, he’s fucking missing.

immediately alarms go off. the white boy is gone, someone save him. oh, and JJ tells Bella that a group called Black Ace is ACTIVELY OUT FOR DAMON.

my brother in Christ, be so fucking for real. why admit this now? why wait 295839938 days to tell her that? literally get away from me.

now normally someone would call the cops, someone would call 911 to report Damon missing but we can’t do that. let’s remember these idiots, minus Bella and Maisie, are all part of a criminal gang because of course they are. have you been listening? ITS NEVER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCE.

back on track. everyone is in a panic, Bella is legit on the verge of a breakdown. she’s about to become as depressed as Bella Swan and we can’t have that. naturally, they pack up and haul off and JJ is honestly at more of a turmoil than Bella. he is truly about to flip the car but Maisie, being a boss ass bitch, tells him to chillax. they fly 90 down the road trying to figure out what’s wrong, where’s Damon, what’s happening. Bella thinks he’s dead, JJ is ready to rip heads off, Maisie is worried, and Matt just wants to go home.

#freematt2024

anyways, they find Damon’s crashed ass beat busted up Mercedes in the middle of some random field. ofc this happened, why wouldn’t it? he is prime crashing and kidnapping material, if I saw a face like his i’d snatch him up to. this isn’t about me kidnapping him tho, this is about the book.

so yeah, the car is found but Damon is no where to be seen. again. all he does is fucking disappear like dude, get a grip it’s not hard to stay in one place. seek church or therapy for your ghostly disappearing issues and stop pissing me off. i love him so much.

with no Damon in the broken car JJ, Matt, and Bella start tweaking because holy fuck he’s gone… and that’s where the chapter ends. you get no more context and instead we suffer until next chapter.

thank you for coming to the yap session, i am in your ceiling

- Sofi

(raven when i catch you)

#dark romance #his dark obsession #rxvengirl #yapping #unhinged #unhinged recap #wattpad original #wattpad romance #someone come get yalls groupie of idiots #i love them so much that i can’t stand them

Still too busy to start writing an essay so here's a (selective) dive into my emotional state whilst watching S2:

MOMENTS I CRIED AT:

The Opening second of S2 because I was too excited and overwhelmed

Simon's reaction to getting the solo (I had to pause bc I was genuinely clutching my chest over how happy he was.)

When Wille was putting on the Ball make-up and started crying over how he was becoming exactly the thing he didn't want to be

Wille's reaction after kissing Simon for the first time since last Christmas

Sara's confession about the whole video INITIALLY, and then my tears got more violent when I looked at Simon's face. He didn't even need to say anything, you could already see it (To anyone who posted hate abt Simon this season - We duel at dawn.)

Wille's closing speech; I genuinely thought that he was just going to abdicate, I WAS NOT expecting that.

MOMENTS I (very) NEARLY CRIED AT:

Stella's poem to Fredrika x the 'I'd rather be secretly in love with her than be some ex that she hates'....bro.

The flashback of Erik giving the Frog globe (specifically placed right after it smashes)

When Wille hugged Kristina and Lugwid (LISTEN, HERE ME OUT- Physicality is everything with and for Wille, and to see affection between himself and his parents was emotional.)

Seeing Felice getting her hair done in a salon x Her feeling comfortable in her skin and embracing her natural hair

The Book Discussion Scene - I am bias bc I'm a Literature student but it was so beautifully done

Simon singing THE song at the Ball

Wille's 'I met a friend last term who stirred new feelings in me...in a way, I wish that it never happened, because then I wouldn't know what it feels like' I'M DONE, DUDE, I CAN'T DO THIS-

Wille closing the curtains and then the two laughing...it's cyclical guys...

MOMENTS I LAUGHED AT:

Rosh and Ayub being cupids on the bus and chanting 'REBOUND' (I can't even begin to describe how much I love these two)

Simon and Ayub arguing over what the actual name of Rosh's ex is ('Just like Yasmine.' 'Yasmina.' 'No, Yasmine' 'It's Yasmina, bro.')

When Wille was threatening the Royal Court with going on social media after watching the video of Simon x Marcus at the Karaoke place

Simon lobbing that ball at Wille during Doggeball (With BRUTE. STRENGTH. AND. SPITE.)

Vincent's 'GODMORGON FUCKERS' at the running meet-up

Wille's face @ Nils when he says that he matched with Marcus on Grindr

Post-Romantic Book Discussion SceneTM where Simon is like 'And we don't know what happened after...' and Sara just goes 'Well she killed herself' LSKSLKS

As sad as the scene was, I nearly lost it when Wille put on that fucking wig

Boris curiously watching the utter chaos of Wille's speech at the end as if he didn't 100% contribute to that happening

Speaking of the closing speech, very much amused at the Queen's '*0*' face at hearing Wille admit that it was him

MOMENTS I '???' AT:

Nils saying that Erik saw Boris and that he was 'LGBTQ' certified (Hello?...Is there a connection here?)

Exactly leading on from this - The rumour that Erik dated a girl who did OnlyFans? (This could've easily gone into the laugh list but my initial reaction was just 'wait, what did he say?')

Marcus saying dumb shit like 'I know you don't want to destroy something this beautiful' and 'You're not your Dad'. AFTER A WEEK (Dude...Go listen to 'Take A Hint' by the Victorious Cast 2012 and think about what you just said.)

When August was giving the whole mucho 'OOoo, but if he goes to the police then what about the drug stuff?' SHUT UP FAM

When Kristina told Wilhelm that should he fail to ascend the throne, then August would be next in line. (I mean, I already knew that this was coming so I don't know why I was shocked, but I was shocked)

MOMENTS I '!!!' AT:

When Stella said 'Yeah, we don't keep secrets' and Sara said 'Don't we?' looking directly at her. (My heart has never jumped sm in my life)

Wille legit pointing a gun at August (...If it was me walking by, I would look the other way. If I was a Hillerska student walking by, I would look the other way. If I was some random dog-walking-in-a-field stranger passing by...I would STILL look the other way.)

When Simon ran after Wille and called out his name as Wille was walking down the steps (My hands were flapping in excitement)

The 'They don;t have names' line. CINEMATIC POETRY.

I was really excited by some of the shots/angles this season bc some of them are beautiful (Just to name a few: The Corridor I Love You Scene, The First Look since Christmas Scene, The Ball Sequence etc etc)

When Sara just straight up told August that she wanted to sleep with him, no hesitation, just saying at it is.

When Marcus was batting back at Simon for breaking up with him (I was initially shocked and was ready to rinse Marcus, but after thinking about it, they were hard truths that Simon needed to hear…And as much as Simon shouldn’t have used him as a rebound, Marcus is still a manipulative gaslighter.)

THE SOUNDTRACK - It SLAPPED SO HARD. It was bop after bop. Was I crying whilst bopping at some. Maybe. Was I creaking my bed bc I was dancing so hard at some?

#young royals #young royals netflix #young royals season 2 #young royals season 2 spoilers #I’m going slightly insane #these are just some of the moments #I refuse to let onto the true amount of tears that we’re shed to maintain whatever is left of my dignity #which let’s admit isn’t much #I think that ??? and !!! are very nuanced expressions #they speak a lot of volumes #I’m so tired Jesus Christ

Tell us more weird stuff you/your partner have said to eachother please???

LOL god we've been together for SO long that's so hard. i just went through our twitters i'm sorry it got out of hand i know no one else will think it's funny but i don't care at this point i'm like crying LOL

the one time i said "if i started walking around like this would you still love me" and he said yes without turning around to look and then when he did i was standing on the bed on all fours and he died laughing

that time i got my wordle on the second try because tony, next to me, said "shart wasn't in the dictionary :/"

when we were watching sing 2 and i said "i'm not a furry but i would FUCK that old lion" and tony, baffled, said, "you said that about the wolf too???" and i said "AND???" which made him laugh so hard he cried

that time i told tony his facial hair looked like shaggy and he ran to the bathroom and i could hear the beard trimmer through the door

that time tony asked if i wanted to cosplay klaus with him and when i asked if he wanted me to be the teacher he said (through tears) "i want you to be Klaus,,"

tony, to me: everything i've learned about your friends has been against my will

that time he came into the living room with a mountain of fishsticks on a plate and when i asked he had no idea how many there were so i took them away while i counted and he just kept crying, "don't count my fishsticks! don't count my fishsticks!!!!"

tony, out loud to me, in the car: do you not hold your breath when you get in the car so the windows don't fog up????

that time that tony didn't believe that the "what did the farmer say when he lost his tractor (where's my tractor)" joke was real and he legit thought i made it up to be shitty until we were watching some streamer and he told the joke and tony screamed

that time tony whispered "we can't date because there's an age gap..............." in my ear (we are one year apart)

that time we were watching the zombie episode of gravity falls and tony got really jealous of grunkle stan

tony, pointing to a stick: at first i thought that stick on the ground was a really big worm

that time tony saw a deer and said "why is that dog's neck so long"

"somehow getting back into homstuck is less bad [than getting back into supernatural]" - tony, circa 2018

when i told tony "sorry tony, i didn't mean to make both of us seem straight," and he said "it's okay it happens"

That time they were out of little packaged cherry pies and tony texted me like "there's a frozen marie callenders pie but you have to cook it" and i was like lmfao ya bring it home, thinking surely he would not, and he did???

"Nico Yazawa is my Bro Strider" - Tony, 11:02 am, 2/28/2018

You know, Frois had said that Nobunaga himself jumped on this Nichi fellow and grabbed him, not Hideyoshi. Maybe Murdoch misread the Frois text. Or maybe he got confused because the text refers to Nobunaga as “the king” and maybe his mind muddled it up with another episode where Hideyoshi is also called “the king”.

I just found that Murdoch’s book is on Archive.org so I’m reading it to see what other funny stories are in there other than the very messed up “Asai” situation (I’m crying, who is supposed to be who?????)

It’s both funny when it’s actual quotes of the missionaries going “what in God’s Holy name is wrong with these people”, and funny when it’s Murdoch narrating a very very strange version of “common facts” about the Sengoku that you just be like “where the fuck are you getting these stories from?”

Nobu’s spawn being like “why can’t I commit adultery tho” :’D

I mean, bro, you might have a better argument if you read the Bible first, and then ask the priests why is Solomon allowed to have 1000 wives. (they probably would still insist on saying That is Not Okay, but eh)

Also maybe this copy is just faulty, but in this book there’s some typos where Nobutaka is mistakenly written as Nobutada. Woops.

Murdoch said that by 1590s Nobukatsu is Nobunaga’s "only surviving son” and I just... My man, I’m very sorry you didn’t know Nobunaga had 10+ sons and there’s still maybe 5 of them at this point in time. I know there’s at least 3 of them that made it past 1600.

I think he legit thought there was only three of them (Nobutada, Nobukatsu, and Nobutaka).

Also there’s a story about that troll hellspawn where after Hideyoshi called him back, Hideyoshi put on this big show of crying crocodile tears while wailing about Nobunaga again (according to Frois), and I just headcanon that my lord is just like “Do I look like I care about how much you love my dad, stop talking and let me go home already”.

NBA Rant: Changing of the Guard

This trade deadline scrum was everything I love about the NBA. There were several consequential trades but the three that made the most impact were, of course, KD, Kyrie, and Westbrick. So let's get into them!

Russ got banished to Utah for a Buyout and the LAkers got stacked in return

So i had to look into this trade and double check some stuff before i commented on it but how about them motherf*ckin' LAkers?! Bro, we turned Brody Westbrick into D-Lo, Malik Beasley, and Jarred Vanderbilt. That sh*t is f*cking insane! This single trade literally fixes every issue the LAkers have had all season long. You got the playmaking you need D-Lo, shoooting in Beasley, and ridiculous defense in Vanderbilt. More than that, the LAkers got big again. They have legit size out there on the floor now, especially with Rui in the cut. This team is big. It's athletic. And, more than anything, it's finally f*cking balanced. This team as it's constructed right now can definitely f*ck some teams up. If this unit can stay healthy and develop some chemistry, they're going to be scary going forward.

Kyrie to the Mavs out of spite

It's no secret Kyrie wanted out of Brooklyn. Dude was very much audible about a trade to the LAkers since the off-season. He final got that wish by getting sent to f*cking Dallas! Joe Tsai has gone on record saying Irving landing in Texas, instead of his preferred destination out in SoCal, was specifically out of spite. It doesn't even matter what the Nets got in return (Dorian Finney-Smith, Spencer Dinwiddie, and a First Rounder), they basically f*cked Kyrie on the way out because he refused to compromise his integrity. Say what you will about the man's views, he stands by his convictions and bears the consequences like every man should. In the meantime, Kyrie gets to run with Luka, who is tearing up this league like nobody's business. Irving is still on an expiring contract and I feel like Cuban thinks he can resing him going forward but I dunno. Those bright lights in LA have a strong siren effect and all those contract we just took on are expiring next season so...

Kevin Durant finally forces his way out of Brooklyn, too

This last one was a big deal. The Nets actually traded Kevin f*cking Durant, to the goddamn Suns! That sh*t is insane! Now, on paper, this looks ridiculous. KD and his exposure skillet, running along side D-Book with all of that disgusting scoring potential, paced by the deft hand of Chris Paul who is easily the best Point of his generation. That sh*t is mad terrifying. In principal. However, Phoenix gave up A LOT to make this happen. They dropped TJ Warren, Mikael Bridges, Cam Johnson, AND FOUR First Round picks. Look, it's KD. He was definitely going to command this much in the open market. And, I mean, they got him under contract four the next four seasons so there's that, but goddamn! That's a large chunk of your depth, Salary Cap over the term of his contract, and leverage on your future! For, what? Two years of Prime KD? Dude is already showing signs of slowing down and these next few Drafts are loaded with young talent just waiting to be developed. Was this the right move? Sure. Was it the right time? I don't think so but we'll see. All I know ow for sure is that the West is mad scary again.

Emu Went to Book Fair, Ocotber 2022 Edition

Hello gamers, so i went to book fair yesterday. And boy do i have THOUGHTS.

k first of all this is my time going anywhere alone so that was SOMETHING???? my ass always have somebody bring me to places this is my first time going to metro and trains and this solo and it went goood??? Like i was freaking out but it's pretty easy actually lol.

the expo itself is fine??? they have some renovation to the hall (ok not little A LOT) and i think it looks ok i guess??? I didn't really walk around tbh.

Anyways other than i bought books (obviously) nothing interesting happned like there's this thing about me trying to find a copy of a rare old book and i was digging for solid three hours trying to find this one book from like 1932 (though i was actually looking for any copy at that point i legit can't find it) yeah anyways spending two hours i have come to conclusion that mf who say they love smell of old books LIED. It smelled HORRIBLE. I was DYING fighting for my life there. Holding my breathe all the time because 1) it smelled HORRIBLE 2) my life is already shit i don't want to contracted virus from 1893. Anyways the book is about Frederick The Great so like when i see one pile have book with "The Great" and same font same colour my ass was DIGGING and BAM it's about Napoleon ... Bro wrong midget. I did bought other old books tho. I did bought other books by the same author (Prince Chula Chrakrabongse) like his book on catherine the great or congress of vienna but still 😩😩😩 (also i bought his autobiography last bookfair and my aunt legit STOLE it and i have to read from school library 😭😭😭😭 which is not the same because my version have more content. The newer editions cut off some stuff but i don't know what they cut because i haven't read it ,,,, soooooo)

ANYWAYS so i bought 11 books (photo attached) and as you can see shit is HEAVY i kinda stopped and left my bag after war&peace because it's rrlly heavy and use other bag to walk around. Which is good becuase you can walk around and not have to carry shit around but that's BAD because when I want to go home I start piling two bags together and OH MY FUCKING GOD. IT'S SO FUCKING HEAVY. I CAN NOT CARRY THIS BACK HOME ALONE ON GOD.

So I immediatly call my mom to pick me up but apparently she's fixing her car and can't pick me up until like next two hours. So I kinda sit and eat some KFC because I haven't eat anything since morning and it's 16:30 or some. So after I finsihed the eating I call my mom again and no shit she said she's doing her nails and tell me to get metro to my brother work place and he'll pick me up .... I don't think she understands I called her to pick me up because I Am Dying And Can't Carry All These. But at that point I just wanna go home and i'm like ok i'll get on metro.

Yeah anyways so to go to my brother workplace I have to go to from metro to skytrain and on GOD i almost DIED. There's stair you have to go through and it's really long, or at least i think it was, i dont fucking know all i remeber is i legit thought i was going to pass out and died on those staors and bridge it's horrible.

So anyways the station ended at the mall so i called my bro like "yo bro im here" and like i walk out of the trai and straight to the mall and i just sit. Like i am not walking anymore you gotta find me. After wholeass 30 minutes later we finally find each other and boy was he MAD AS HELL. Like my man i get that you have to walk around to find me but i have to carry all these books all the way to here ok vpcut me some slack. And yeah and then we went home and go to sleep and happy ever after or whatever.

WRONG. I wake up the next day and trying to move my body amd I. AM. IN. PAIN. literally actual tears in my eyes just for trying to move my arms it was HORRIBLE. Take me like idk how long until i can handle walking out of the bed. Like i still in pain while typing this it's horrible. 0/10 never go to book fair alone without waggon ever again.

maybe ive been binging mako mermaids. maybe i realised there are no trans characters so i fixed it

kofi

[ID/ A digital drawing of a merman. He had mid-brown skin, black hair, brown eyes and a golden coloured tail which curls behind him. He has visible top surgery scars and one dangly earring with a blue and a red gem. He has a startled expression, his arms are half pulled up next to him. The background and foreground both have silhouettes of seaweed and fish in different shades of blue and grey. There are some light blue fish around the merman. /END ID]

#i finished watching mako mermaids right before starting this drawing and #to be completely honest i went in for a laugh bc h2o was a silly little show i watched on the disney channel when i was in middle school #so i didnt really expect mako mermaid to be that great #but bro i legit teared up at some points #its so good #like apart from every character being cishet to our knowledge #so this is how i hyperfixated on mermaids during mermay but not because of mermay #i also started rewatching h2o before starting mako mermaids but i was disappointed to realise #that rikki was the only good thing in h2o #everyone else is just. annoying #AND spoilers but #shes in the last two episodes of mako!!! like what i was so surprised #i saw her and i was like huh that looks kinda like older rikki #and it was older rikki!!!!!#best crossover of all times #anyway about the drawing #the background turned out GREAT imo and it made me realise that i need to start thumbnailing #bc im never gonna pull this off again #my all time approach to drawing is draw character and then realise that oh fuck i need a bg too what now #so my compositions usually dont turn out too great #and i didnt do a thumbnail for this one either but i think this drawing drained all my composition luck #so gotta get on that #otherwise uhm #faces turn out greater than usual when i use this pen #gonna have to remember that #also i drew that right (his left) hand like a million times and its still bad but yknow what<3 i dont care #ok thats it sorry to anyone who read all this bye

BnHA Chapter 325: Deku VS the Outside of U.A. ~Conclusion~

Previously on BnHA: Ochako was all “dear bloodthirsty mob, this kid you see standing before you has fought harder than anyone and put his life on the line to protect you all, so please chill the fuck out, jesus christ. like, putting aside that he’s humanity’s best hope and so it’s very much in your best interests to let him rest and recover someplace safe so that he can keep fighting for us, are y’all seriously going to turn away an injured and exhausted child in front of his sobbing mother?? seriously?? come on now.” I’m paraphrasing here but that’s basically how it went down. Anyway so then the mob was all, “...” and Deku collapsed to his knees in tears, and Gigantic Fox Lady and Kouta ran over to give him a hug but then the chapter ended.

Today on BnHA: Horikoshi is all “FINE, YOU CAN HUG HIM”, which, was that so hard?? The U.A. Clown Mob is all “come to think of it, we’ve kind of been taking the heroes for granted this entire time, maybe we should be less passive in the future. anyway so Deku if it’s not too much to ask, can you please save everyone and fix everything.” Deku is all “I sure can, and by the way I forgive you for swarming around all menacingly two minutes ago and trying to deny me basic shelter and stuff.” Ectoplasm is all, “hey Todogang get a load of this. [walks in a circle].” Hawks is all, “that’s literally the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.” Rat Principal is all, “anyway so that’s what your students did today, hope you’re enjoying your new *~*ROBOT LEG*~*, Aizawa.” Aizawa is all “[lots of exposition about Kurogiri and for some reason, Toga, while being all brooding and sexy].” All Might is all “[standing here right outside of U.A. doing absolutely nothing and being foreboding AF]” and that immediately sucked away all of the warm fuzzy feelings from the hugs, goddammit.

each new week has become a waiting game of “when will Deku finally get to take a bath so people will actually be willing to go near him and give him the hugs he deserves.” the stakes have never been so compelling. I’ve almost forgotten about AFO entirely

lmaoooooo

me: for the love of god will someone please give Deku a hug before I die of old age

Mineta: YOU GOT IT!! --

Iida: [SWIFTLY CUTS HIM OFF] NOT YOU

fucking losing it at Mineta’s crying face. he really wanted to hug him. I legit feel bad but this is also the funniest thing I have seen all week, omg

somehow Kouta, who last week was only a hand’s breadth away from touching Deku’s head, is now twenty miles away from him in this new chapter

can I make a Loki reference here. is this recap a good place to insert a joke about someone using a TVA time-rewinding device to fuck with my poor boy Kouta over here. well anyway there it is

AND NOW HE’S BACK ALL OF A SUDDEN OMG

(ETA: since when is he “niichan” omg?? can’t handle this cuteness.)

BUT THEY’RE STILL NOT HUGGING HIM FFFFKFFFFF. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO. WHO DO I HAVE TO BRIBE AND/OR BLACKMAIL

OH NO KOUTA IS CRYING THAT’S IT I’M DONE FOR

“when I heard that lady I knew that I had to go, but then stop again within inches of actually touching you because you smell like week-old rotten onions.” listen Kouta, I’m not saying I don’t get it, but you all can’t keep doing this to me. it’s the way you guys keep teasing it. like, if you’re gonna hug him, hug him. don’t just stand there with your arms held rigidly out in front of you like a molded action figure

OH MY GOSH BUT HE SAID THE THING

KOUTA SWOOPING IN AT THE LAST MINUTE TO TAKE ALL THE CREDIT FOR FIXING DEKU LIKE THAT ONE KID IN THE GROUP PROJECT WHO DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT STILL TAGS HIS NAME ONTO THE REPORT ANYWAY, WHAT A KNAVE

GASP

( ´͈ ᗨ `͈ )

SHE PICKED HIM UP LIKE A LITTLE BABY OMG?? she just leaned right over and lifted this child like he was a small animal. like a lil baby futon that she was about to hang up to dry. oh my god

-- HEY WHAT

(: well that’s extremely fucked up. though sadly not too surprising given what we just saw these past couple chapters

incidentally, I hope that anyone who was legitimately defending the civilians’ perspective earlier takes note here of how quickly that line of thinking -- “we’re just trying to keep our families safe” and all that-- can lead to straight up bigotry. if you’re willing to deny a child shelter and protection simply because he’s not YOUR child, and because you’ve decided based on Internet rumors (no real-world parallels there, I’m sure) that he might present a threat, it’s really not that much further of a leap to discriminating against entire groups of people simply because you perceive those groups as being dangerous. I’m sure the people who turned Gigantic Fox Lady away also told themselves afterwards that they did it to protect their families. “better safe than sorry.” “she’ll be fine, someone will take her in, but as for us, we can’t afford to take that risk.” people can come up with all kinds of justifications for treating other people as less than human, and the really scary thing about it is how fucking easy it is

one last quick side note, which is that Horikoshi does a great job here of showing how scapegoating works, given that AFO is the one who’s really to blame and who presents the actual threat, and yet Deku is the one who ultimately winds up being the target of the mob’s fear and outrage despite him being as much of a victim as they are. gotta love that irony, which unfortunately plays out far too often in the real world as well.

anyway I’ll get off my soapbox now, sorry about that. let us continue

YES, FINALLY OH MY GOD!!!!

AND THAT’S THE STORY OF HOW GIGANTIC FOX LADY BECAME THE GREATEST HERO. PACK IT ALL UP, WE’RE DONE HERE KIDS

holy shit. the real MVP right there. thanks for getting it done champ

jesus christ I have had it up to here with these people

literally the bar is set so low at this point that I’ll go ahead and take it. helping him because it offers them a tactical advantage is at least one step up from not helping him at all

“WHY NOT SHIKETSU” MOTHERFUCKER I SWEAR TO GOD

-- thank you!!

okay this one guy with the antennae hair is having himself a character development speedrun here

-- okay, but this part?? fucking this part, right here??

can we repeat that again?? the part where this guy acknowledges that the problems of hero society were caused not just by said heroes, but also by said society?? the part where he acknowledges that they treated the heroes like celebrities who were putting on a show for them?? the part where he acknowledges that when push came to shove, the vast majority of those heroes, when faced with a situation that offered no reward, were nonetheless willing to put their lives on the line to protect the very same people who then turned around and blamed them rather than thanking them?? are the civilians of BnHA even allowed to have actual deep thoughts about this stuff. holy shit

bro!!

ANTENNAE HAIR GUY SHOVING KOUTA AND GIGANTIC FOX LADY OUT OF THE WAY TO SLAP HIS NAME ONTO THE END CREDITS AS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER. CONGRATULATIONS SON YOU FIGURED OUT THE CORE PHILOSOPHICAL QUESTION AT THE VERY HEART OF THE MANGA. WAY TO GO BUD

meanwhile, on today’s episode of “one more chapter to go till the big volume cliffhanger, how else can I drag things out let’s see”

it’s a panel. of people’s feet. just a bunch of normal feet. with sneakers and shit

this All Might shirt guy is getting more screentime in this arc than 90% of the class 1-A kids

I guess I’m supposed to feel sorry for this dude now that he’s all “if we let you stay here do you promise to somehow magically fix every single problem that we are now currently facing?” those are some ridiculously exacting standards my dude. come on now

KACCHAN SIGHTING

thank fuck I’m not the only one who’s thoroughly unimpressed by absolutely all of this lol. I feel better now. meanwhile Iida and Kouda and Kiri are ready to run over there and hug them all. you guys are way too forgiving. damn you and your pure hearts

anyway so Deku’s like “yeah, definitely”

(ETA: almost forgot to comment on the “I’m no longer alone” part – he basically corrects the guy and says “sorry, but you’ll need to direct that question towards all of us, not just me, because moving forward we’re a team.” good stuff.)

you know what though, all joking aside... fuck yeah. because perfect victory, right. the strongest guys don’t settle for anything less. so I guess Deku has pretty exacting standards himself

also can you all just take a look at this fucking kid who’s got so much light in his eyes now that I’m gonna need eclipse goggles. hot damn. “you’re welcome” says All Might Shirt Guy as he is frantically interviewed by several local news networks asking him how he daringly managed to save Deku all by himself. “well I guess I’ve just never been the kind of guy who can sit back and let a bunch of rabble-rousers blame a little kid for all of humanity’s problems. someone had to step in and take action, you know?”

oH MY GOD THE SCENE IS FINALLY ENDING

don’t let the door hit you on your way out All Might Shirt Guy

but meanwhile, sudden Tododrama action??

oh shit

there are honestly so many ways in which Ochako’s very moving speech could have wildly backfired that I genuinely have no clue where this is headed lol. how exciting!!

so now Horikoshi is once again stalling for time with random filler panels, but this one is 10x better than the shoes lol omg

(1) was Ectoplasm’s jacket always this oversized. (2) did you guys know that if you go back to chapter 319 you can see that Horikoshi gave us a sneak peak at Enji’s Sad Detective disguise and I in fact made a joke about it in the 319 recap not realizing it was actually the stone cold truth. (3) did Shouto deliberately speed up out of impatience because Hawks was walking so fucking slow and he couldn’t take it any longer. (4) and what, I ask you, is up with these dramatic speedlines. so many mysteries here. what a masterpiece

everyone is acting all shocked about something ahh what’s going on

wait what

what the heck. did they just loop around behind everyone. what was the point of that lol. “anyway, so this is what they look like from the back” well okay, thanks for that Ectoplasm

(ETA: so it seems like they were actually hanging out someplace else away from the crowd this whole time, I guess? here I thought they had more faith in Enji’s disguise. I guess Shouto and Hawks don’t particularly want to attract this crowd’s attention themselves right now either, though.)

I am so fucking confused lmao

speaking of All Might WHERE THE FUCK IS HE lol. but yes, good, OFA brings everyone together, and Hawks is very deeply moved about this out of the blue all of a sudden. you know how it is

aw heck yeah now this is another filler panel I can get behind

Mineta really wants that hug, good lord. I genuinely love this actually. Mineta if you could just stay little and cute and keep crying about how much you love your classmates in a non-gross way for the rest of the series I would be so appreciative. you’re doing great

IIDA IS HOLDING DEKU’S HAND THIS IS NOT A DRILL. ONE TIME WASN’T ENOUGH FOR MY MAN HE’S ADDICTED NOW

what did I tell you. Kiri wants to get all of the mob’s autographs now. Kiri you’re a peach

Shouji having a conversation with another mutant type is a very nice touch! we really need to get to his backstory soon. I feel like that casual remark from GFL earlier was kind of hinting at more to come

is this the first time we’ve ever seen the Yaoyorictionary in action?? never forget that Viz tried to call it the “Yaoyorozu Reference Book” because they hate fun

last but not least, KAMIBAKU IS BACK ON THE MENU, FUCK YEAH. Kaminari trying to spice things up and introduce a little bit of controversy by smacking Kacchan on the back of the head for god knows what. I will be deeply disappointed after this if I can’t find at least one person unironically declaring that KamiBaku is now toxic and abusive

lfkdlWLWK TODODRAMA??

oh my god. Shouto’s face. Enji’s face. the back to “oyaji” again. the blunt, not-taking-no-for-an-answer, “I don’t know how much louder the universe can scream at you that doing things alone is not it, so hopefully you got the point” directness of it. fffdlkslj I’m so ready for this Horikoshi please don’t fuck it up my expectations are so high

HOLY FUCK

I SCROLLED DOWN AND HE WAS ALL “( ❛‿❛)” AND I JUST WASN’T FUCKING EXPECTING THAT OKAY. JESUS CHRIST. GIVE ME A SEC

lol okay moment over and now Enji’s pulling his hat down all dramatically like a world-weary Cowboy

OH MY GOD WERE YOU FACETIMING??

AHHHHHHHHH

(ETA: not to put Iida down or anything, but it’s kind of strange that Aizawa is all “the class rep sure did great” when Ochako is the one that was giving that whole big speech for like twenty minutes just now lol.)

(ETA 2: “thank god Iida stepped in just in the nick of time to keep Mineta from hugging Deku.” sorry Mineta I really do like you lately but it’s still low-hanging fruit lol.)

HE LOOKS SO SAD??! HE LOOKS LIKE HEARTBREAK ITSELF??! I AM BESOUGHT WITH THE URGE TO REACH INTO MY SCREEN AND PULL HIM INTO THE SAFETY OF MY ARMS??? MY GOD, AND I THOUGHT DEKU NEEDED HUGS

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH okay I was gonna just hold down the letter H for a full minute and count it out loud but within about ten seconds I realized I needed to chill lol

-- but then again NO, I DON’T NEED TO CHILL, I HAVE ZERO CHILL, ACTUALLY, BECAUSE IT’S AIZAWA WITH A ROBOT LEG AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

COMPLETE WITH ROBOT TOES FOR THAT EXTRA TOUCH OF AUTHENTICITY!! I LIKE HOW HORIKOSHI PUT ALL THIS EXTRA “!!!” EMPHASIS AROUND IT IN CASE WE COULD SOMEHOW POSSIBLY FAIL TO TAKE NOTICE. “REMEMBER, EVERYONE?” SAYS HORIKOSHI HELPFULLY. “REMEMBER THAT TIME AIZAWA CHOPPED OFF HIS OWN LEG?” oh wow now that you mention it we somehow forgot all about that. like who do you take us for

OH NO NOT THE SAD BOYFRIEND ANGST THAT I WAS SECRETLY LOOKING FORWARD TO WITH GLEE

well at least he’s not M.I.A. or back with the villains again like I thought he might be. still, that’s gotta be brutal to know your friend is in there somewhere, but to not be able to reach him again no matter how hard you try. that’s the kind of angst that pays off in final battles just when you most expect it. such is my hope, at any rate

what’s this now??

trying to decide if this is Horikoshi’s way of saying don’t worry about that, or his way of saying definitely worry about that lol

anyway so Aizawa is out here being all irresponsibly handsome once again. when is someone going to do something about him

here for Sexy Robot Leg Eyepatch Aizawa clenching his fists and making speeches about revenge. pretty sure we’re all here for that

WELL, WELL, WELL

IT’S ABOUT FUCKING TIME

I’M VERY GLAD YOU’RE ALIVE AND SEEMINGLY WELL, THOUGH!

BUT WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK THOUGH, ALL MIGHT

ffff. bracing myself for that cliffhanger next week. you’d better not touch one hair on this man’s head Horikoshi. I’m watching you

“It’s okay, it was just my face”

Miss Jenn is hanging on by a thread

finally some ashlyn and ricky content

“Which they will” buddy have you faced the music? Have you seen Ricky?

“I think I might have been playing Troy at one point”

Miss Jenn needs help from someone who isn’t a teenager

“Mother is freaking out” High school theater at it’s finest

“There is math involved”

“OH”

sassy seb

i can’t with east high’s tech crew, what are you doing?!?!

and why are the actors figuring out the tech stuff?!? i’m sure kourt, big red, ashlyn (she knows all), and seb (he lives on a farm) know what to do.

the crew cannot be that bad

btw here are my thoughts on this scene

guys it is ashlyn’s house not yours

portwell shoulder bump

ASHLYN I LOVE YOU

OH SO NOW YOU HAVE DRILLS

that was really weird, anyways

“he gets weird around tools”

why don’t you have a blackout and dramatic music and lights for the transformation, i know it isn’t award level but if done right it can be pretty dope

the girls ship seblos

“But, I guess he has to be, out of default, right... there’s not a lot of choices for a boy like Carlos, here, at East.”

alright here come the tears

why...why couldn’t he say “gay” or “queer” or “lgbt”?!?!

“Not so good at saying the feelings part out loud”

shiz that hit close to home.

Seb is just making me cry today, isn’t he?

wait so we’re just going to change the subject? coming from a queer person, opening up about your problems about your sexuality is hard. like, there are things that happened years ago im just telling people.

“You’re my sister, he’s my cousin”

it seems everyone except nina knows about the chocolates. imagine gossip time when gina told people write a fic

Nini just stop talking. It wasn’t a big deal, simple mistake. Not everything has to be big and dramatic

and wasn’t she just asking about Gina and Ej?

Nini for the love of god it is not something to read into.

“The farmer type”

Ash and Red exchanging gossip

wait... why are they texting about this?

“Why wouldn’t he say something to me?” It’s a hard conversation to have. “hey are we together just because i’m your only option?”

“Okay, pretty boy” HE CALLED HIM PRETTY BOY

RICKY!!!!!!!!!!

“Sweet boy”

im so glad the guys are talking about their feelings.

Why a sleepover? It’s more of a hangout.

“Verging on failure”

jennzara therapy

you go from hand holding to fist bump

disney please release an acoustic version of “let you go”

so it’s just carlos and ricky chillin’ at big red’s house?

“You guys are a hallmark movie”

for once ricky is being smart

“the look on your face when you were talking about Seb tonight” smiles

he is so whipped

“I think you and Seb have something worth fighting for...bro”

that was so sweet and then there is bro

i love this show

“Sorry, I’m adjusting to being called bro”

him and seb being awkward about feelings... that is a high school relationship

i love ricky in this scene

“Yeah, let’s just write”

ASHLYN CALLED BIG RED BABE AWWWWW

nina shut the actual hell up

“It’s in the costume shop, somewhere” mood

“Thank you, 15″ THEY SAID THE THING

GAHHHH

I LOVE IT

howie and kourtney oh my god what is happening

“and begging”

“hi” he’s so nervous oh my lord.

he is so awkward around seb

it’s like a switch

“Do you want to get risotto with me sometime” OH MY GOD THATS ADORABLE

GINA BABY HE LIKES YOU

GINA HONEY!!!

AWWW THAT WAS ADORABLE

PORTWELL YESSSS

gina’s little run

“Am I in trouble?”

they’re so nervous

oh my god its time

“You keep it all bottled up” GUYS I CANT ARGGGG

can ricky just like, go behind a curtain?

“lookin’ for our kind of love” carlos basically just said “i love you”

seb is so whipped like look at him?

they’re so in love

seb’s little eye role at “in a heartbeat, i choose you”

the hands omfg

oh my god they’re going to dance

SHIZ THE HOMECOMING SUITS

I WAS RIGHT

OH MY GOD

SHIT GUYS IM DYING

gah the hands i cant

carlos is leading i love it

the tie

a tie just killed me

im combusting

You’re honor, they’re in love

i really thought carlos was going in for a kiss he is probably getting one later

i like how the dance isn’t big, it’s small and a little awkward bc right then it’s just them.

THEYRE SO IN LOVE HOLY SHIT

damnit big red

big red is legally required to interrupt almost kiss moments especially if it’s an lgbt kiss bc we cant have two in one season

in a heartbeat is so cute. Frankie showed UP this season with the vocals. there is no way that was all acting bc they looked so in love.

I...I love it

the lyrics are perfect

In a Heartbeat and Let You Go are probably the best OG songs of the season

“Siri, add In a Heartbeat to my gay sob playlist”

these boys are just serenading each other left and right

“Yeah”

so it’s just “yeah”!?!? That’s it!?!?! Seb could have least kissed him on the cheek or did they use all their kisses?

I love the song and love the scene, but there is so much more to discuss. Are we going to brush over the fact that Seb literally had an allergic reaction and didn’t get help because he didn’t want to disappoint Carlos!?!? Are we going to brush over “no, seb” and seb feeling like he has to get carlos big things!?! One “yeah” doesn’t erase all that. I’m hoping we get closure, proper closure, not a joke.

In conclusion, only one thing was settled (Carlos loves Seb for Seb, not because he is the only out guy in school).

“Seb and Carlos suffer their first fight” effing liars

BTW it looks like they filmed the dance scene with the homecoming suits and normal outfits so disney release the footage

Ricky is the biggest Seblos shipper

“Bro”

you morons. are you using rigging without an adult there?!?!

im pretty sure that isn’t allowed. only trained people were allowed to use the rigging. it should be Natalie since she did it in HSM

you should have gotten mats are something or stand in a circle

gahhh

RICKY

OH MY FRICKING GOD

NO ONE RAN THEY JUST WATCHED WTF

WTF WAS THAT ENDING

UMMMMM NO

i legit have no words oh my god

they just killed the lead

you guys saw the rope you should have ran

you should have gotten mats or blankets or something just in case

rigging is difficult, set rigging and people rigging

EAST HIGH WTF

Looks like the sleepover is going to be in the ER

My gay heart is full but my theater heart is screaming. The episode went by really fast. I liked it, like a lot.

To answer the question, no, I am not okay @organic-guacamole and we will have a theater kid sleepover

OK OK ANOTHER QUESTION FOR U how oleander would be as a step-dad? Cuz hes not really good with kids

The first game vaguely implies that Bobby is both Morry's Problem Student (yells at him in the first cinematic, mentions that he's stuck him in the GPC as a punishment a fuckton of times ("that kid spends more time in the cooler than in school")) and also a kid he's a bit personally invested in the improvement of (he says Bobby reminds him of himself when he was that age, and he apparently let Bobby past the punching minigame and man the machine gun turret that fires at you in that one field in Basic Braining.

I think when it comes to Bobby, Morry has so far basically been alternating between a scared straight style disciplinarian and the eccentric teacher who lets you do dangerous but cool shit if you behave for once, but I think he goes a bit easier on Bobby after Bobby goes off on him and then breaks down in tears - probably out of a mix of guilt and realising that, like, despite the outward "the coach is fuckin stupid and is just out to get me" vibes, Bobby was legit hoping he was gonna help him with his dad - kind of a "oh fuck I was this close to forming a positive relationship with this kid and I fucked it up so much" thing, which is compounded by the fact that he knows Loboto loves his boy very much. (Plus, it's different when the kid you're yelling at is almost bordering on being basically your (step)kid and not just another camper, y'know?)

He does make an effort going forward, though, and the two do have some genuine bonding moments... Like, he's not quite full Shitty Stepdad material, more like a gruff jackass stepdad who is making an effort to be better (Bobby still calls him his shitty stepdad, tho, because he's a little shit and Morry's reaction the first time he did it was funny.) I think it ends up at a point where they're both being little shits to each other, but it's kind of a bro-y vibe most of the time, if that makes sense?

Basically; No, Oleander isn't exactly stepdad of the year, but considering everything, he and Bobby get on remarkably well. O:

#psychonauts #bobby zilch #coach oleander #morceau oleander #someone ask me more about this au so i can start tagging it with the working title #bc right now that title is a bit of a spoiler lol

Continuation of ask:

Favourite character and why?

I think, this will probably come as no surprise that my favourite character is Miss Kieu My Vu herself. Not only in Druck, she's my favourite character in the whole skamverse!

Yeah, so you know how I said I'd probably end up writing an essay about Kieu My at some point...you probably weren't prepared for this anon, because this is legit like a thesis 😬😆

I can't tell you how much I love Kieu My, honestly, after every clip with her, I would actually say it out loud.

I had my headcanons of what I thought she was going to be like based on S5 and her activity on IG (who she follows etc.). I thought she was probably a bit insecure, a nerd, and going to be a really soft LI. When she said 'Bro, what heart', I laughed because I knew she was going to be one of the greatest LI in Skamverse, and boy is she! So one reason she is my fave is because I literally watched the character that I had written in my head, come to life in front of me! ✨

It actually really hurts me and makes me sad knowing that a minority of people in the fandom are sending DM's to the writers saying Kieu My wasn't written well and underdeveloped because they want a Kieu My S7😰😡. They did such a stunning job with her and it pains me to think they might think they didn't.

Some people are saying that her background didn't get explored, but I would argue that it definitely did, we know she has a good, supportive relationship with her parents, that she cares about her Vietnamese heritage, that she feels insecure speaking Vietnamese as she's a 3rd generation immigrant, and her parent's didn't teach her it in great detail. She feels she owes her parents for giving up their dreams and all the hard work they do to make sure she has a good life, which I really relate to because that's how I feel with my mum, even though they don't expect anything back.

Also, you never get the whole background of a LI explored🤷‍♀️ I also argue that a detailed 'background' does not = development or a character getting fleshed out. For example, Maya in SkamFr got a really detailed background, which she explained to Lola in ep 3. I love Maya, so this is not a dig at her. Yet, besides from explaining why she ghosted Lola when she found out about her addiction problem, they didn't give her much more personality than 'the sunshine' to Lola's darkness, and imo she's quite 2D. Development is loads of things, it is a personality being exposed, insecurities being addressed, change in behaviour.

Even in just episode 1, Kieu My already goes through great development. In 5x10, she is still seen as the aloof Insta and quite superficial. Then in the first clip of 6x01, you can see how awkward she is (I cannot express how good Nhungi is with the little details). The way she doesn't understand Fatou's question about what she's doing and replies straight faced that she's walking on the pavement 😂 The stuttering when she asks to use the skateboard. The first hint of her insecurity when she says she bets Fatou never fell off. Which can I just say, I love that line! Because as if Fatou would be able to use a skateboard the first time she tried. It shows Kieu My's insecurity but also how she views Fatou as this cool and collected person. Then when Fatou says she did fall off and laughs, Kieu My lets out a nervous breath to herself. Then laughter is heard, and she starts looking around self-consciously. I think it's probably a mix of thinking people may be laughing at her putting herself out there and looking like an idiot on the skateboard, along with her inner biphobia.

Then the clip in the Physics class we saw the first on screen hints at nerd Kieu My. I went nuts that day as we also got the text between Zoe and her talking about the Bio test, and how Kieu My was studying for it despite the answers being leaked. Druck said Nerd-Kieu My rights!✌ I love that Physics clip so much because as soon as the teacher finishes the question, Kieu My has her hand raised to answer, but also note she doesn't make the hand high or easy to see, showing us she doesn't draw attention to it. So, already in ep 1 you have Superficial-Kieu My -> awkward, nerd Kieu My. DEVELOPMENT!

Please don't interact with this if that's your opinion that she isn't developed. You're entitled to your opinion, but I will not read or answer it.

One of the things I was pleasantly surprised with was that although I thought she was going to be soft and insecure, I thought she would try to hide it behind the Ice queen personality more, and fight her feelings.

It was probably during the NYE clip (which is also maybe why it's my no.1 clip 🥰) that I realised they weren't going to go down the route of her holding onto the 'cool girl' image. She was so shy and could hardly keep eye contact with Fatou when she was talking about her dream of studying Mars❤

I remember there was genuinely like 2 people other than me in the Kieu My fan club when she wasn't responding, and it was strange to me because she said in ep 2 that girls scare her and she doesn't know what to do. It didn't make sense for her to ghost Fatou for any other reason, as girl had spent 11hrs talking with Fatou a week before. The moment in ep 4 when Fatou talks to her in person and she's the shook Mr Krabbe meme 😂💀

She really spent the whole week reading Fatou's texts and then f*cked it up herself by trying to get Constantin off her back. Then my girl came through texting Fatou everyday Sun-Wed, until Fatou responded on Thursday. She really grabbed the bull by the horns and straight up asked Fatou on a date in the geekiest way possible. I'm sure she suggested the table tennis bar because Fatou did, so she thought 'this must be an appropriate first date venue' 😂. The last line on Thursday when she said she can't get Fatou out of her head 🥺 The amount of vulnerability, she's so brave 🤧

Volunteering to do the project with Fatou, again showing her bravery and not caring about what anybody else thought even with the rumour going around and Constantin sitting next to her!

Turning up with the plate of Vietnamese pancakes, and doing the nervous bounce she does. Revealing to Fatou that she doesn't think she's good enough, and everybody thinks she's perfect, and the pressure she puts on herself to live up to that. Crying when she thought she had blown her chance to be with Fatou. She's too soft I can't take it! 😭Even the detail that she always tries to hold Fatou's hand for comfort 🗣🗣

Getting her girl, and then immediately setting up a date. Laying herself bare about her inner biphobia, and Fatou being the first girl she's been with, her dreams of being an astrophysicist, and nerding out about the history of the universe 🥰

I absolutely love how she's the one to initiate the first kisses and touches, she just went in with both feet and never looked back, fighting her fears to be with Fatou. She is so brave! Which makes all her gestures of love even more immense! They would be incredibly romantic gesture anyway, I mean climbing a roof in her fancy clothes *swoon*, but the fact that she is doing it, despite being terrified🗣🗣

Being a straight A student, but not caring about the presentation and just Fatou's wellbeing. I burst into tears when she asked the teacher to stop and then argued back to him.

Showing how she finds it hurtful that no one really sees her and they only care about her looks. One of the things I was constantly blown away with was how Kieu My kept being given the space to speak. There's at least 3 key scenes where she is just allowed to breathe, and talk about her fears and issues, which I think is so rare.

How she is also an absolute 🤡 Referring to Fatou as Axolotlgirl in texts, sending Fatou songs and that she can't help think about Fatou while listening to them, but not knowing why and that she is in love. When she is too scared to talk to Fatou, but got her nails cut ASAP, and was liking all of Fatou's IG posts. Telling Fatou to stay away from her because she is so hurt but then having a full on breakdown for 2 weeks, calling people at 3am, and stalking Fatou's IG, accidentally liking posts, and thinking Fatou was moving on with Ava 🤡

Being such a caring person and going to help Constantin at 11pm, no questions asked, and keeping an eye on him at the party, making sure he was drinking water. Being there for Fatou because she knows something is going on, even though she's been hurt in their last interactions. Helping her parents at the store with no complaints, but fitting in time to print old Maths workbooks to help Fatou 🥰.

Getting a gold turtle and carrying it in her pocket because she was too scared to give it to Fatou! Setting up a stargazing date in someone's bedroom in the middle of someone else's birthday party 💀

Apologising to Ava because it's the right thing to do and not because she's with Fatou.

So, as you can gather, I think Kieu My is alright 😜

Thank you to the writers and Nhungi, because you really knocked it out the park with her!❤

Are you still doing the reverse unpopular opinion thing? If so, may I ask what you think of the Heavensward elf husbands? (Haurchefant, Aymeric and Estinien)

I certainly can! And the elf squad are certainly a class of their own. Under the cut, since there’s 3 of them.

Haurchefant

Best bro. In EN, so polite and proper and welcoming compared to everyone else in Coerthas so far, your first time through. Willing to go to great lengths for his best friend Francel--including riding in and leaping from his chocobo in the Most Dramatic Manner Possible to join the fray against the sudden dragon the false inquisitors called in.

I do wish they hadn’t pulled back on his personality quite so much in EN; I think there were better ways to hit a happy medium between the trope he embodies in JP versus Western sensitivities, but it then creates an interesting dynamic of Haurchefant later opening up more to the WoL and Alphinaud when meeting again the 2.x patches and early Heavensward, where they do lean a bit more into his sunny side (while still avoiding a lot of the elements that would come across as not great in EN).

I think the fandom often sells short how complicated he can be; behind the cries of “Splendid!” as he serves hot cocoa, there’s a rightfully Angry young man who Chooses, every day, to be helpful and kind to others, to live up to the Ideals of Knighthood. Threaten someone he cares for, someone who has shown him kindness, and he will bring all seven hells down--the false inquisitors weren’t the first to threaten Francel, and Haurchefant won his knighthood as an adolescent by tearing apart grown men who hurt the boy. That reaction gets translated into the WoL and associates; they helped him save Francel, they helped Coerthas, they helped Haurchefant, so of course the WoL becomes so very important, on top of all else they’ve done for the realm.

One of my favorite scenes is actually on return to Ishgard; he see Lady Iceheart herself in the streets, but at a shrug from Estinien and a nod from the WoL, Haurchefant is cool with it, fighting at the lady’s side and protecting her as he would his friends. He trusts those he has given his friendship to.

I hate what happened at the Vault as much as anyone, but it’s effectiveness in the story and to the playerbase is because they did such a good job of building Haurchefant into a character, a friend and ally always in the WoL’s corner (and the scene itself is just blocked beautifully and with all narrative and artistic elements really engineered to destroy emotions). The writers lean on it a bit heavily at times (he’s far from the only loss), but a friend said having the option to advise Ryne with Haurchefant’s words feels like finally internalizing the beautiful lessons the man had to teach us and moving forward with them.

Aymeric

The prettiest man in Eorzea. I was afraid he was going to be a trope of “bishonen knight leader in a religious org turns out to be evil” but am so, so pleased he turned out to be legit, a real deal Paladin who also upholds the Ideals and strives to do what’s best for his people. Also some anger, some bitterness, some yearning that is understandable for someone in his position.

I wish they would give us more about his adoptive parents, but I understand why he so ached for some sign of affection, too, from his biological father. It makes him more realistic, and is a point of hesitance in someone otherwise self-assured. Aymeric is fair, strong, but tries to demure from leadership given all the controversy--so of course they push him to the front of the House of Lords. He’s not afraid to tell Hraesvelgr what for to try and shame the old wyrm into helping against Nidhogg.

I love his relationships with Lucia and Estinien, and how he ends up also close to the Fortemps family.

Just a solid guy, it’s easy to see why and how he makes friends so fast, gets pseudo-adopted by Lord Edmont, and has a large chunk of the playerbase in love with him.

Estinien

Ah, Grumpy Dragoon Bro. I started as Dragoon, so my initial experiences with Estinien were as a gruff, annoying antagonistic training NPC through ARR. Who had never let go of his own pain and anger, and so fell prey to his greatest enemy’s manipulations and nearly caused himself even more pain, until reminded forcibly what he already knew.

Estinien’s dedication initially comes from the wrong angle, but he learns; gosh, he learns, the long, hard, bloody way. His softening really begins with his interactions with Ysayle and Alphinaud throughout the Dravanian Roadtrip ane learning the horrible truth of the Dragonsong War--but still being the Soldier who does what must be done, for all involved.

He is gruff and rough, but genuinely cares for the WoL as a comrade in arms (and again, translators, let us have the familiar nicknames/their equivalents; it’s so common for soldiers, for people who fight side by side to have their own injokes and nicknames!). I really love the brotherly relationship he forms with Alphinaud, and the grudging respect he and Ysayle finally gain.I also love the friendship with Aymeric, how these two hurt, lonely young men formed a bond lasting well beyond that first disastrous patrol.

I love the string of profanity he spews in click dialogue post-Vault, cuz it makes so much sense for that to be his way of expression, and so many other characters strive to be controlled and polite.

I love that the devs have decided to shoot the stinky Estinien meme in the feet twice now. It’s a fun joke now and then--and I do headcanon he’s had some rough depressive episodes; as delightful as his Shadowbringers story of how Krile and Tataru roped him in is, it also contains very tragically familiar tropes of traumatized war vets to me, and that doesn’t always lend itself to the best self-care--but man do some folks take it too far. Estinien was a military officer, a Knight of the Holy See, and while there’s gotta be some helmet hair at the end of the day, he’s probably taking care of himself. His comrade in arms, the WoL, would be sad otherwise afterall, and Estinien’s done with disappointing those few that are so close to him.
