#but she's also a terrified child

[a-dumb-sarcastic-bisexual]

I’m back from my coma to talk about Nimona again

Specifically these scenes 

Because this is the moment where the similarities between Gloreth and Ambrosius’ stories end

At face value, these scenes seem incredibly similar 

In both scenes, Gloreth and Ambrosius are watching terrified as their homes are burning down around them because of a “monster” 

But that’s where the similarities stop

Because in the first scene, Gloreth decides to listen to everything that her community has told her 

And in the second scene, Ambrosius has finally figured out that everything he’s been told since he was a kid is a lie

#nimona #nimona 2023 #nimona movie #ambrosius goldenloin #gloreth #can you tell how much this movie drives me insane #god i love it #it gets better every time I watch it #I have no intention on bashing Gloreth btw #did she betray her friend? #yes #was it an incredibly fucked up thing to do? #absolutely #but she's also a terrified child #who made a dumb choice while her world was falling apart #and I cant blame her for that #if I start thinking about the parallels between goldenheart and Nimona and Gloreths stories I’ll start crying #I could talk about this man til I’m blue in the face #and I have no air left in my lungs #god I love him #he’s such a compelling character #‘​what are we doing’ is one of my favorite lines of all time #is so powerful

i need to wynnepost. somebody has to

#its crazy how people will assume she is all the tropes she subverts and then ignore her #also how sympathy for circle mages’ indoctrination only lasts until they get old i guess and then fuck them #because its not as if they were ever a terrified child who’d never had anything better than a single templar’s mildest kindness and any kind #of home even if it was the tower #so an orphan kid who had no memory of anything but scurrying between farmsteads and hiding in barns #didnt want to leave. what a shock. you guys dont get the place comfort has in keeping circle mages complicit #so it’s violent and terrible and you never have privacy and your children get murdered and you’re always watched and hated #its also a warm bed and community and a chance to succeed #do you honestly think every kid from fucking THEDAS knows theres anything better out there #that doesnt make the circle good. it makes it horrific that they prey on vulnerable kids to teach them the world hates them #and only the circle is ‘safe’ #i just think there should be some sympathy for those kids and what they grow up into #its easy for the player to walk in and say their character would hate the circle and never have listened to the templars #its easy for say an amell or even a surana with a family back home to not fear what they left behind #wynne genuinely thinks without the circle mages would all be murdered and she’ll fight and die protecting her fellow mages #from the right of annulment #yes its a flaw that she goes on to teach others the circle must be tolerated and that is precisely how the circle is perpetuated ove #over generations #but its amazing to me to just act like its her fault #well. this is more tags than i expected it to be

#also kind of why the fuck did they do that to mulder. like obviously it is WAY worse for scully but imagine: #your best friend slash love of your life calls you. she's just found out that a. she can't have kids #(which you have known for several months but didn't tell her because she was DYING OF TERMINAL BRAIN CANCER) #and b. when she was kidnapped and medically raped by the government a child resulted from this and she's only now found her #and you fly out to them and the little girl is darling and precocious and terrified and your partner ADORES her #and seeing them together hits you over the head with how badly you want this for her. how badly you want this for YOU #how any children you were ever going to have would have always been hers #and you make the girl laugh and you threaten the men who did this to her. you want everything to help her. and she dies anyway #your pseudo-mother-in-law calls from the hospital. your partner's brother just had a baby #you watch your partner fall apart and you grieve for her loss but also for yours. that was your daughter too. or she would have been #arwen.text #the x files

#ok so look nina took me FOREVER #she was almost a child of apollo too #she was also almost an athena child but that’d make fabina… yknow lets not go down that road #but listen it makes sense Hades is her godly parent; death has surrounded Nina her whole life and her chosen one powers are similar #her parents died when she was a kid; she sees ghosts (sarah; the frobisher-smythes; senkhara; victor sr.) #she has a fear of skulls (and thus death if you wanna think harder on it) i also read an analysis by someone here ab that fear #i like to imagine that while she is a child of hades she is absolutely TERRIFIED of what that entails #she’s afraid of what kind of power lingers inside her because she already doesnt like it; she does NOT want to embrace it #anyway that’s another story; all about personal growth and development #fabian is a child of athena #he’s the brains of group (so is nina but you get it) and in s3 he is left in the brains of the group category solo #amber’s is perfect are you kidding she’s the first one i made #house of anubis #nina martin #fabian rutter #amber millington #hoa

[that-foul-legacy-lover]

Ok ok. Hear me out.

Little brainrot here.

We will soon get to explore Fontaine and discover its underwater treasures, right ?

So, what about Foul Legacy with merperson!reader ?

I often dream about being a mermaid myself, freely swimming in clear waters, diving through algae and kelp forests while dancing with the other fish ; and, last night, I actually had a dream about this that happened to take place in Teyvat.

I’d like to think that Fontaine is the perfect place to meet mermaids, even though you can also see them in deep rivers, lakes or even the other seas that hold their place in the world. Foul Legacy probably found himself lost in these watery lands once, maybe while trying to get to Liyue. The only person he thought would be safe to stay with would probably be Zhongli, and yet the voice in his head constantly whispering how this idea is the only one he has left to follow suddenly quiets down once he hears the melodious voices of seafolks bloom all around him, most of them being slightly muffled but the waters they like to hide under. Like with everyone else, they tend to be wary of him, staying away from his monstrous form even though he can see glimmers of curiosity in their dark eyes. And, terrified at the idea of frightening them even more -he wouldn’t want to hurt such beautiful creatures by accident !- he keeps his distance too, silently watching them from the shadows, trilling curiously from time to time.

Now, I think merpeople communicate with a wide range of sounds, going from the entrancing songs of whales or the sharp clicks of dolphins to sounds so deep even he has trouble them, marvelling at how ethereal all of this is. This language is a little bit similar to the one he uses, and yet he can’t really bring himself to understand the nuances. This is why it takes him a few seconds to realise that the inquisitive chirps that echo not far from him are those of a merperson trying to communicate with him until his eyes fall upon their elegant silhouette.

Despite the fear of hurting them and the quite peculiar language barrier, our cinnamon roll of an Abyss creature lowers himself to bring his masked visage to their level. He almost falls into the water when their small, webbed hands come graze the ridges of his crimson mask and horns, detangling his fluffy hair and mane, droplets of water going still upon meeting the thick, yet incredibly soft surface of his purple fur. What he can only interpret as being happy coos and trills cross the edge of their salt-covered lips, and Foul Legacy quickly finds himself talking back with an enthusiasm that only matches their own, starry wing fluttering in delight every time their voice start humming a song. And he is quite surprised to see other merpeople approach him after a few days of peacefully interacting with us, their voices and tunes forming an echo that could mesmerise the coldest of hearts.

Maybe Liyue can wait, after all.

🫧 anon i love you so much thank you for this delicious MEAL!!! also i am soso excited for Fontaine especially underwater exploration!! it reminds me of the underwater areas in another game i play it's soooo pretty

Foul Legacy could spend hours listening to you talk- of course, all the merpeople have lovely voices, but you're his favorite, being the first to approach him without fear. you, like him, are quite curious, countless questions always glittering in your eyes, questions that he can't quite understand. but even with the language barrier, Legacy finds himself basking in your voice, the familiarity of something close to his own language making him purr in delight, craning his head back so you can scratch under his chin

luckily Foul Legacy still LOOOOVES water, even if he's not an aquatic creature himself. it comes with having a Hydro vision, but he loves to swim and can hold his breath for a very long time!! at first you'll simply bring him items you found that you thought were pretty, since you're very much aware that some tales paint merpeople as vicious and bloodthirsty; you only ask if he wants to come swimming with you after you both trust each other, pointing to him, then the water, and tilting your head with an inquisitive trill. and if he accepts you clap your hands in joy, a beam spreading across your cheeks and webbed ears twitching happily. you adore the look of amazement on Legacy's face, as well as how bubbles float from his fanged maw when he attempts to chirp underwater- plus, now he can see your scales and markings in the sunlight too!!

i think Fontaine and Liyue are going to be connected, by land and by water, so if you must, you'll also show him how to get back to Liyue via the waterways of Fontaine. you really don't want to- it's been a long time since you've had such an amazing friend- but you know he misses the safety of Liyue like a fish misses the sea, so you'll take him to the border between the two nations and point out the way he needs to go in order to return. before he leaves, though, you give him one final gift- a luminescent seashell you found years ago, waiting for the right moment and right person to give it to, since there's nothing better than watching someone's face light up as you give them a gift. he's sure to treat it carefully, cupping the delicate object in his claws and crooning his heartfelt thanks, giving you one final lick on the cheek, which you greet with a kiss of your own before watching him depart with a mournful smile

Legacy turns back once, for a final glance, but when he looks to the sea, you're already gone

I love playing Royai Theatre with my extensive 03 timeline in my head because I can jump around to suit whatever I'm in the mood for... Do I want one-sided Riza pining..... Do I want them falling in love... Experiencing domestic bliss..... Do I want Riza the most miserable she's ever been in her entire life... Do I want her experiencing The Horrors while Roy finally pulls his weight and supports her instead of it constantly being the other way around..... Delicious... Finally some good fucking food (slop i cooked for myself)

#crystal convos #babybrained lately (lmao if 3 years is 'lately') so i've been thinking of Riza struggling to decide if she wants to have a baby #but being terrified of dooming herself and her child... after all; alchemist fathers have only ever hurt their families in her experience #forced to confront her traumatic childhood after like 20 years of ignoring it #roy is there too and he's internally clawing at his leg going 'hrgghnnn i have GOT to get her pregnant' and then being like 'wtf was that' #WOE; hormones be upon ye #i ALSO just remembered that Tucker was just... alive and out there at the end of 03... i could Do Something with that #psychologists might call this maladaptive daydreaming but i call it Royai Theatre In My Brain To Cope With The Horrors (applying to jobs)

ARO EDELGARD!!!!

While I like her with Dorothea I’m also a HUGE FAN of aroace Edie!!! In her paired endings she only has kids with one person (Ferdie) and even her “romance” endings are more like “she and this person enjoyed each other’s company :)” so I’m absolutely here for aro (and aroace) Edie aaaaaaaaa

Arodelgard Acedie,,,,,,,,,, omg,,,,,,,,,, we're all so real for this I love us all so so so much

Do you think Edelgard would be worried about having children because she's worried that they might inherit her crests? That they might suffer in the way she suffered? I imagine it eats her up inside considering what happened to her and her siblings. She'll have a child or children out of obligation to her empire and her Fodlan but if she didn't have that obligation I think she'd just adopt so she can have kids without the worry of them suffering like she did :)

#askbox #mutual tag #razz rambles #I'M STILL NEW TO THE WORLD OF EDELGARD SO I DON'T KNOW THE INS AND OUTS OF HER CHARACTER #I want to learn tho #I want to make up for all the time I missed #I'm imagining edelgard being terrified if/when she finds out she's pregnant and her internal emotions clash with each other #she's so excited to have a child but so horrified that they might die far too soon/be physically weaker #plus there's also the added point of Edelgard herself IS going to die young so her child wouldn't even get to know her well before her deat #and that child is going to have to take up the imperial throne far too early no matter what happens #at the latest: edelgard's own age at the start of the game #at the soonest? still in their single digit ages #there's no winning for edelgard #yes I'm aware that a cure is found depending on her ending but I'm an angst fan hehe

Eddie Meeting Ash

Buster: There she is, my precious daughter. 

Ash: *covered in blood and holding a guitar like a weapon* 

Eddie, scared: Is... is she part of the package? 

Buster, smiling: Don't accept my daughter and I'll divorce you right now.

Eddie: 

Eddie, nervously: Hey! Wanna go, uh, steal something? 

Ash: 

Ash, grinning: Finally, you brought a man of culture back home.

yeah im definitely telling my parents i need noise cancelling headphones......

#the fact that i have to GO OUTSIDE FOR TWO HOURS at night after supper just so i can have a few moments of peace and quiet is like. terrifyi #terrifying. maybe this is the only-child in me needing to be independent or whatever. but i cant stand this much noise all the time #like genuinely half of my bad mood is bc i cant have quiet time for 90% of my day #and when it gets colder and my allergy starts acting up more i wont be able to just. chill outside for two hours #well technically i WILL chill. but not in the good way. my feet are already freezing. and i forgot to take my allergy pill. whoops. #im also gonna complain to SOMEONE. but the fact is that i complain about everything so idt theyll take me seriously #last yr my friend complained bc she couldnt study and they just told her that ppl need to socialize <3 #and its like. ah yes. a student dorm where socializing is prioritized WAY above the right AND OBLIGATION of the kids here to study!!!!! #z xarre

sometimes it's so fun to casually mention your age and see the eyes of the guys who have flirted with/hooked up widen, as they realize they accidentally chose the youngest person at the table

#rrr #in their defense most of my friends are at least a year older than me #especially the ones i go out with #like i'm 22 but my roommates are 24 and 26 #the guy in question who looked terrified is 26. he knows one of my roommates is 26 and married to the 24 year old one #and we all went to high school together #so i imagine he figured i was 24 too #but i am a year below them and two years younger hehe #the age gap doesn't bother me so this is funny. you're allowed to laugh #one other group i go out with is 23/25/28 #which i'm sure is also confusing for the 28 year old friend's #since most of the people i meet are also grad students the age gap doesn't really bother me #we're in the same spot in life #though 10+ years is a bit questionable 4-6? that's fine #that said. whenever an underclassmen (esp one who's under 21) tries to flirt with me #get that child away OR SO HELP ME #babes you don't even know. we are on different planets #the 20 year old who has a full time job and a mortgage? she gets it. she can get it. the 20 year old who's party hopping? no.

makin it so in my mind's eye Dandy and Catnip are siblings

no other reason than that they're both gingers with these hazel-ish eyes. & i think it's fun. & i like it when famly.

#while notkin is also a ginger i know for a fact he's an only child. i can smell this on him like a bloodhound. #also because i think it'd be funny to have burakh be like #''aw are you two twins [voice of a guy who's terrified of twins because of 5 consecutive days of in-dreams harassment. by twins.]'' #& they're like. no we're just both ginger like mom. may she rest in peace too. #you know what i mean. family #neigh (blabbers) #patho lore #soul and a halves #catnip lore #dandy lore #<- i need to find them again

14 and 19 for... Yuna, actually

14. How does your OC want to be seen by other characters?

OHHH now this is a juicy question for Yuna. So a big part of Yuna’s character is actually that she wants to be seen. As she’s the younger sibling she’s seen by a lot of people (outside the family ofc) as the spare child, the one in the background out of the spot light (occupied by her goofball brother). So I think an important thing for her is that she really wants to be seen? Like in general? Even her moms to a certain extent overlook her sometimes because they are trying to deal with Riku.

A more specific thing though - she wants to be seen as reliable. Steadfast Yuna who will never let anyone down. She might be in the background but she’s always there when you need her, you know? She wants the people she cares about to know that she’s there if they need her! Even though she’s like. 14.

19. How does your OC behave when enraged?

Ohh I definitely think Yuna is the kind of person to go dead silent when she’s angry. Like she’s a quieter person in general but she’s also playful, making little comments and jokes every now and then. So you know when she goes really really quiet that’s when you want to run. She’s like a volcano about to explode.

#asks #latenitewaffles #koopa bro #yuna kirijo #oc tag #YES BRO TY FOR ASKING ABOUT YUNA #i lvoe her sm #yeah its kinda funny yuna suffers the same issues as her brother but like. because of him lmao #unintentionally ofc but still kinda funny #hes in their parents shadow and shes in his #and yeah hmm yuna wanting to be reliable all the time even though she is a child i wonder who that sounds like #yuna is basically like “i will not cause any problems for anyone” but to an unhealthy degree #i love this silly family and their silly ways <3 #and yeah idk dead silent 5'2 yuna not saying a word is terrifying to me but also kinda funny #watch out though she WILL start yelling
