#has zero bite

[forthesanityofstorytellers]

OH

WAIT

I think something just made sense and I realized my characters are smarter than I am.

#Midnight madness #Lyra #what if the mmc wasn't actually the princely love interest but the world-weary mentor scholar #that only wants his favorite pupil to be happy and not be dangerous in how she goes about it #what if he secretly wants her to buck the system because he never got to and he knows the system will only kill the playful spark she has #and he doesn't want that #but he can't be outright defiant either because it's not his place and he's been trained too well #so he subtly encourages her manic societal chaos while publicly scolding her despite the fact that they both kinda know the scolding #has zero bite #what if the dynamic here is just him trying to go 'okay buck the system but not like that you'll kill us all if you do it like that'

What did/do you like about Pharah?

Uh, gameplay-wise, I really love characters in shooters who rely on three-dimensional movement techs. Chaining together hover and jump to stay in the air for as long as possible and keep momentum is so satisfying, and picking enemies off from the sky made me feel like a bird of prey. I was a good Pharah main.

Story-wise, there unfortunately isn't much to canonically go off because Pharah is so underutilized and neglected. Her personality's pretty boilerplate "heroic hero" (she's literally inspired by Captain America).

But it's the crumbs/bits and pieces that I really latched onto. Pharah's a confirmed lesbian; her short story with Baptiste implies she harbors a crush on Mercy (fucking thank you.). She's biracial Egyptian/First Nations. She has major mommy issues, having grown up both admiring and resenting Ana. She's the bridge between Old Overwatch, inspired by the idealized heroes who surrounded her childhood, and New Overwatch. She's one of the only inter-generational characters in the cast; someone whose experiences span the gap, which is why I seriously believe Pharah would make a great main character.

There isn't much to go off of, though; she's a very uncomplicated character (she's a soldier for a private military corporation, lol.). But that just means she's a blank slate character, so I've seen fanfic writers run wild and create some really interesting takes on her. My favorite interpretation of her's a dense, herbo gym-bro type (a lot of her liens are about work outs, exercising, and playing sports) who's easily excitable under her seemingly self-serious, armored visage. We see how she tends to gloat and hype herself up when she's on a streak too, so Pharah definitely has a competitive and boastful side under her more professional and militant performance.

Now Mercy? Mercy is a real complex character.

#i was a diehard pharmercy shipper back then btw #the inherent homoerotic experience of pharmercy gameplay. #the homoerotic experience of looking to the skies to fly to safety under the protection of your knight in shining armor #the homoerotic experience of feeling white hot murderous rage at an enemy trying to pick off your pocket mercy #i still kinda despise gency lmao. you cannot convince me mercy would be in love with genji. at all. #he'd make her feel so uncomfortable and guilty. in my head. the canon is obviously different #gency is sexless. absolutely zero bite or tension. #i could go on about mercy and how her character has so much missed potential #i'm no longer in my overwatch fandom phase but #i still think about that new flirty line they added in ow2 where mercy goes “ahh you're like my knight in shining armor!” #and pharah goes “that's what i'm goin for ;)” and i sigh dreamily #really happy that pharah outright says she's a lesbian too but it's hard to feel good about rep when you know blizzard uses it for pr #to be honest i'm willing to bet cash that blizzard's keeping pharmercy in their back pocket as ammo for the next controversy #last year we already saw logs about pharah fretting and taking care of mercy and the two talking about how good it is to see each other #tbh pharah has the same energy/demeanor as applejack. cheerful and competitive in a can of whoopass #but yeah overall pharah's a pretty shallow character. i have IDEAS on how i'd go about deepening her but. whatever #that's sorta what happens when you have to juggle a cast of 40 characters. a lot get left with the bare minimum #ok so i wrote this entire post up saying that pharah isn't in ow2's storymode when she is. she's in the story i just. forgot #because she doesn't do or contribute anything interesting #ok i'm stopping here. overwatch's story is such an interesting narrative mess i could go on for hours #i dunno how you come up with such incredible character designs and give them such an unincredible story #it's also so so so interesting seeing the conflicting takes on characters the writers have #mercy in gameplay and voicelines is peppy and cheerful and optimistic #but mercy in the storymode journal logs is tired. jaded. a total shut in who forgets to leave her room and social #and YES! THAT'S WHAT I WANT!!! THAT'S MERCY TO ME!!! THE DOCTOR WHO FORGETS TO TAKE CARE OF HERSELF #ask me #anon

CW: Mentions of blood, Adult language, Dehumanization

Aedes stared up at the looming woman before him, her apology- no- her admission hanging heavy in the air. Her answer hit him like ice; both chilling him to the bone and freezing him in place. She admitted it. He was trapped, the weight of her admission holding him in place... and yet there he stood, cornered, but still free from her grasp. 

"Then what?" He growls. The sound of his own voice grates on him; for all the raw anger in his voice, he hates that he can still hear his own desperation slipping through. 

" I.. I don't know.” She bit her lip. His skin bristled at the sight of the woman's teeth. He watches as she grows uncomfortable. Good. “It's not like I planned what to do…” 

He snorted. She didn't even know what she wanted to do with him? Catching for the sake of what?? Just wanting?? Was he that fucking insignificant? Was this some sort of sick fun? Just a game of cat and mouse? She couldn't even just be bothered to reach out and grab him- instead just prolonging the inevitable. His hands shook, claws digging into the meat of his palms as he clenched his fists. Her nonchalant attitude fed into his growing nausea. He could feel the blood he'd so recently drank rising up in his throat. Her answers terrified him. 

"And if you catch me," despite being cornered, he made sure to emphasize the word if, "would you ever let me go?"

Genuine shock seemed to dash across her features at his words. Her expression softened, as did her voice,

"O-Of course!" It was strange. She sounded… almost remorseful. "Look, I'm not…I'm sorry, I'm not trying to hold you hostage- like that’s obviously wrong- it's just… this is weird, okay? You're in my house- my bed!” 

It takes all of his willpower and probably some years off of his life to restrain himself from rolling his eyes. If you know it's wrong, why apologize ?? Just stop!?   He grits his teeth. If she didn't care enough not to hold him prisoner in this stupid corner then why would she care enough to let him go?

“Of course?” He didn’t believe her, but he played along, counting his blessings that he remained out of her grasp for now,  "So… if I let you quell your curiosity," He says, unable to keep the snide tone from his voice, "would I no longer be your hostage? Would you let me go?" 

"I admit, that wasn't really the best wording-"

"Would you?" His voice, though fearful, is firm. 

To his shock, she seems to shrink back at his tone. She nods. 

"I… I'd just like answers…" She states quietly, her voice nearly a whisper. He narrows his eyes. Fuck. What was he supposed to say?? The moment she puts two and two together she’ll- He shook his head, frustrated. He needed a plan. An idea. Anything. His chest tightened as his mind spun. What was he supposed to do? Why did he have to tell her anything in the first place? Did she just expect him to act like a dog and sit and speak on command? The thought grated against his pride. He grit his teeth. She’d already told him to stay. 

“And what?” He spits, “I’m just supposed to talk because you tell me "speak" ? Am I a pet or a person to you??" He winces at the bitter venom he tastes in his words. She holds all the cards. He shouldn’t outright try to provoke her, but his mind is spinning in desperation. What was he supposed to say?? She wanted answers he desperately did not want to give. The thought sends a shiver down his spin. Yet, to his surprise, his words didn't seem to anger her. He watched as she looked away- for a moment he was almost tempted to run, but surprise had him glued in place. She looked conflicted- or ashamed? He swallowed dryly, heart pounding in his chest Did she actually… could she actually see him as a person? After a long pause, she spoke.

"A person... I think?" His brief sense of hope seems to decay in his grasp- a sickening feeling of foreboding taking its place.   

"You think?”  He yells, voice growing louder with each syllable, "How can you not know?? Am I, or am I not a person to you!?” As he spat the question at her as he struggled to hold her gaze, his heart begging for her to see him… To his dismay, instead he saw himself; Reflected by the dim light from the moonlit window he saw his reflection in those too large fern green eyes. The sight disgusted him; A scared and pitiful creature trapped in the stare of being that was just so much… more. As much as he hated it, he refused to look away. However, she did. 

"I- " she pauses, her gaze turning back to him- eyes pleading… for what?? Why did she look like she was pleading to him??  "I don't know. I mean, I know you're not a… pet. You're a talking, thinking being." 

Oh?

Maybe there was hope… maybe she truly could see him…

"-but,"

Ah. There it was.

"I’m going to be honest… This feels different. I wouldn't contemplate catching a person... or you know, force them into a conversation with me. I-” She bites her lip, struggling to pick her words. “I don't want to lie to you. I promise you, I don’t see you as a pet, but honestly" She swallowed, seeming almost.. nervous? "I don't really see you as a person either."

Of course she didn't. What else did he expect? He wasn't a person to her- but then again, he wasn't a person at all. He wasn’t human- he was a parasite. The word tasted like poison on his tongue. He knew what he was, but if not a person or something to be had, what was he to her? Why was he still cornered? 

“Then what am I?” He hears an angry desperation in his voice he hadn't known was there. Had she figured it out? If not a person or a pet, did she know he was a pest?  She starts to answer and abruptly stops, reconsidering. After a moment, she continues;

"You tell me. What are you?"

He wanted to lie. To say he was nothing more than a man, just… a small one, but she had caught him in the act. How could he explain away… feeding. He grimaced. Why did it matter what he was? He was a thinking, speaking being-  just the same as her! 

“My name,” he sneered, “is Aedes.”

What's Lucky's favourite place to hang out?

my lap or the window

and at night he takes the whole bed, as a cat does

#though he refuses to come on my lap if i lift him up #he has to be the ones choosing too #if i see him ready to jump up and i lift him he will get mad and start biting #same with the bed #he will not come unless his majesty decides #i have zero say in this #asks #<3

[airenyah]

it's really funny seeing everyone salty posts about the hidden agenda finale and i actually agree with everyone but the thing is!!!! i'm just vibing!!!!

i went into this show with absolutely ZERO expectations (and in fact, i would have been extremely surprised if this show ended up being actually good dkfjkfddf), i've never given a single shit about the plot and/or the writing bc i came here for the joongdunk vibes and the joongdunk vibes alone and i had a blast watching this series

like, i'm not even gonna bother criticising this drama bc from the beginning i didn't expect it to be very impressive anyway and so i'll just keep sitting here in my pile of garbage and vibing with it <3333

#watching joongdunk flirt on camera and be cute makes me feel good and that's exactly what i came here for #i got what i wanted and i don't care about the rest #as i said i'm just vibing!!!!! #the finale was underwhelming? there was no Real hidden agenda? #so what!! at least i got the funniest kiss scene ever with zo yoinking joke inside and kissing him stupid and yeeting him back out again!!! #that's all i need thanks dfkdfkkdfgdfkg #hidden agenda #ha ep12 #airenyah plappert #adrm #sometimes thing's just ain't that deep and that's ok #(though i get everyone's frustrations very well and i would have been just as annoyed if i'd expected anything from the show at all) #(apart from mindless fluff that i need zero braincells for) #(for me personally this show is perfect kjdfjkdfkjd) #also congrats for joongdunk on getting to do a sex scene i guess lol #(well. heavy make-out scene more like it) #anyway seeing how excited they were for that scene to drop and considering their lolfanfest performance of dum dum #also with them coming up themselves with the idea of switching positions for the bite #i can see them do a show like only friends lmaooo #i'm generally against set actor pairs but i do hope joongdunk will do more series together jkkjkdf

*covered in blood* it's okay for people to have different headcanons than me it's okay for people to have different headcanons than me it's okay for people to have different headcanons than me it makes sense because people's interpretations of media are shaped by their experiences it's okay for people to have different headcanons than me I do not need to commit a murder

#Saw a fanfic where a character I headcanon as aro got shipped with a guy she clearly has zero romantic interest in #Didn't read it because I don't have to read stuff I'm not interested in and now I'm trying to resist the urge to bite someone #because people are entitled to their opinions and I need to remember that #but on the other hand. What the fuck???????

[talentforlying]

i can't remember the details, but at some point i decided that aliens and alien politics is absolutely where constantine draws the line on plausible otherworldly bullshit. he flatly refuses to consider what all the fuck is Out There and if he sees proof of something coming from Out There, he'll rationalize it as being some kind of demonic entity, demigod, or tulpa.

yes he loved star trek as a kid, no that doesn't mean he's willing to risk a non-exorcisable fourth doctor-esque bubble wrap caterpillar monster slugging down the street at him!! no fucking thank you!! yes he has met members of the justice league, doesn't mean he wants to think too hard about what they're protecting humanity from, and all the implications that follow!! he ALREADY gets sucked into potentially world-ending events he doesn't want to be anywhere near because he gets curious and starts poking around, he's not adding potentially world-ending events from space to the list!! this gif is his exact reaction!! space is Too Much for him fuck you and fuck off!! unless he has to deal with it or fight it in some way, in which case do NOT leave him unattended thank you very much!!

( he says as he's taking the very first opportunity he gets to run out there and explore, because he's obsessed with learning and acquiring knowledge that's been previously forbidden to humanity and he will pursue it, even if it means kubrick-staring out the door of the TARDIS for half an hour. )

#( headcanons. ) I'M JUST LIKE THE BASTARDS I'VE HATED ALL ME LIFE. #like Conceptually there's not much of a difference. you could show him the slitheen and he'd be like 'oOoOoO scary. shut up' #the concept of the vashta nerada? that's just a tuesday for him man #it's the fact that he has Zero leverage and Zero non-violent ways of banishing the fucking things that actually scares him #also he's 100% convinced that it's a slippery slope from being conscripted into fighting the occult > conscripted into fighting aliens #and y'know with the way justice league dark went about things. he is Not Wrong About That #he's very fun to consider in the dw universe bc i'm torn between 'pulls an adam & breaks the doctor's rules' #or 'finds some hope for the future of humanity & perspective he's been lacking for Decades & comes back a better person' #now you put him near torchwood. he'd be right at home in the worst way (which means he'd probably bite people)

I really need to have more fear of dogs lmaooooo

i'm going to be so insufferable once i finish beast. i still have one volume left but i've already decided that no one else in this fandom has any correct opinions about it

#my mutuals are excluded from this ofc you guys have the biggest brains #but anyone who thinks beast is about skk has zero reading comprehension skills #i am sentencing everyone to ENGLISH CLASS. #HOW ARE YOU GONNA BE FIXATED ON A SHOW THAT REFEREENCES SO MUCH CLASSIC LITERATURE #AND NOT HAVE BASIC MEDIA LITERACY #GRRRHGHGRGGFHGHHHHHHHHHHH IM BITING AND GNAWING AND SCRATCHING #ahem. i mean. i sure am glad my main social media is tumblr so i can actually curate what i see <3 #hello grace here #grace reads bsd

[i-am-become-a-name]

so I play a silly online game, and anyway you can name all your familiars. So naturally all of them are heartbreaking lines from Doctor Who/Gallifrey (I heard Puccini. Madame Butterfly/with more grace/No actually, I didn't) but going through new-ish audios to find new lines and I will bite and chew Ollistra but not in the friendly way I would bite Avon. Murder biting.
