#he sowed his seed

[casasupernovas]

the way the doctor lets his true feelings about martha show on his face when his face is not visible to her is so...

#he loves her! it doesn't have to be romance! #the joy the contentment the grief oh my #doctor who #tenmartha #they could have worked if they had more time and everything didn't go haywire due to the doctor already sowing the seeds of the general lec #they could have had it all #rolling im the deeeeeep #it's also not lost on my that ten regresses to more negatove traits towards martha when old faces reappear #jack and the master #he needs work but it was too much to ask martha to stay #things really could have turned around after 1913 mainly because i think his convo with joan gave him a reality check #i have so many feelings about my fave underrated duo #they would have been unstoppable #martha jones #tenth doctor #10th doctor #david tennant #russell t davies #martha x doctor #ten x martha #martha #ten #10 x martha #lovely lonely man #not just when she cant see his face but when they are physically so close also.

You can tell Isabela is a sweet and carefree woman because if everyone else got a cool nickname from Varric and I was just ‘Rivaini’ I would have become the second most ballistic party member in a heartbeat

#im not going to say whos the first but here a hint: its Aveline #maybe not even betrayal but just like Sowing Seeds #Fenris did you know Hawke gifted Anders a Tevinter chantry amulet which hes been wearing under his robes ever since? #and just walk away <3

im permanently thinking about ludinus's "the divergence wasn't to protect us from them. it was to protect them from us." absolutely incredible way to spin the calamity and if he's an aeor survivor then he 100% has reason to believe this. they struck down aeor to protect themselves. oogh.

#also can i admit that ludinus actually swayed me. for a second. when he was all talking about how mortals are seeds sowed for #the gods to feast on after they die. like.. but NO i dont think thats true. but also maybe it's not entirely wrong yk... but his methods. n #like yeah maybe the gods do gain power and sustenance from mortal's souls. but i dont think its as evil as he makes it sound #cr spoilers #ramblings

okay, i dont really care for gale, but i really wanna know what's going on with the whole minstra took advantage of him in a similar manner to shadowheart or others

because im not rlly interested in romancing him, and the way he tells you stuff when not romancing him just makes it feel like there was just a power imbalance and he purposefully overstepped the boundaries with her because he wanted more power/knowledge/possibly to become a god and she was like 'ok fuck you' and then became really fucking rude to him

but its not sounding like all this was done when he was a kid? i would assume since he had been a goddess's lover he would be of age but i could very much be wrong. can someone please shine a light on this?

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #baldurs gate 3 #help? #most of these people seemed to have been harmed from whe nthey were ignorant #while gale just sounds like he was fully aware of what he was doing #or had his own free will of it unlike asterion #obviously mystra planting a bomb in his chest totally wrong #but im so confused as to like #gale kept pushing boundaries and he reaped the seeds he sowed #he was an adult and fully aware of his actions??? #asterion literally could not ressit via vampire influence #laezel and shadowheart were indoctrinated #wyll still worked for the greater good despite his deal #and accepts his punishment without trying to get out of it #gale just continues to keep pushing boundaries at every turn im confused of how hes a victim on the same level as everyone else #yeah hes a victim of mystras cruelty because she shouldnt basically murder him or tell him to commit die #but i fail to see how these are the same as everyone else???

Interesting little tidbit I found while looking for something, but for all the people claiming that LanlingJin was just “sooooo powerful” that everyone else was “afraid to go against them” and that’s why all the other surviving sects post-Sunshot Campaign rallied to eradicate Wei Wuxian and the Wen remnants per their wishes:

This is Wen Ruohan’s assessment of the Jin clan:

Among the four sects, the LanlingJin Sect was on the fence—watching how all of the sects were angrily going on some expedition, it wanted to take part as well, but if it suffered more defeats than victories, it’d soon realize that there was no good in it, perhaps even coming back to hug the Wen Sect’s leg and worship it once more

—chapt. 61, exr

And this is what the Nie clan might was, as per Wei Wuxian’s recollection:

During the Sunshot Campaign, Nie MingJue won almost all battles. The enemy couldn’t even approach him, much less cause him to be so badly injured.

—chapt. 48, exr

The Jin were fence-sitters who would suck up to whoever they deemed the most powerful at the time. Because they didn’t know which way the tides would turn in the war, they didn’t want to commit to an alliance with anyone. They also knew that they couldn’t (or didn’t want to) afford losses in battle. On the other hand, the Nie under Nie Mingjue were near unstoppable. “Won almost all battles” in a war in which you were severely outnumbered? That’s astonishing!

But once the Wen clan fell, a power vacuum was left, one that Jin Guangshan was given the opportunity to fill with the other great clan leaders’ reluctance to take up the political power QishanWen left behind. The problem: his clan was simply not powerful enough to stand against the one clan that was successfully able to hold QishanWen back even before Wei Wuxian’s aid. In that same assessment Wen Ruohan made of the Jin, he noted that while nmj was a tank onto himself, killing him would leave the Nie clan listless, neutralizing them as a threat. Jgs realized this too, which is why he had to resort to trickery and then assassination: there was a higher chance of loss against nmj (especially with wwx’s refusal to join the Jin) than success. And the Jin do not take up opportunities without a guarantee of success.

Had nmj not been willing to cede political power after the war and had kept the Jin in check as wrh had (albeit because he was a tyrant and not for any moral reason), jgs would have had no choice but to stand back and continue playing second fiddle to the powerhouse clan above him. But by the time nmj began to understand the treachery of the Jin as a concretely bad thing, jgs had already gotten bold enough to choose assassination as a solution to his problems.

#mdzs #human reads mdzs #human metas mxtx #this is why he had to resort to manipulation with wwx in the beginning #to try to poach wwx to his side #and when that didn’t work he turned to slander #to get wwx murdered and steal his work #I’ll also note here that during the whole burial mounds saga #nmj was fully aware that the jin were manipulating the situation against wwx #he approved of these methods because he hated all wen and anyone who would protect them entirely #his unwillingness to let go of his anger to take in exactly how bold the jin were acting #is exactly what leads to his death #because he encouraged the methods that led to his assassination when it was about murdering someone else #the seeds you sow and all that

thinking about the fact that the only(?) time the castration metaphor is used in reference to malcolm himself is when he comes back after his first resignation ('he's in an odd way, it's like he's been to the vet and had his knackers done'). and of course it comes from ollie

#the thick of it #he does slink back in like he's got a cone on. and then promptly reinvigorates himself once he's able to get his suit back on and #sow the seeds of electoral chaos. only malcolm tucker could uncastrate himself

I've been trying to pinpoint something about Min Woo's sudden redemption and being pushed towards Soyeon that annoys me, and I finally figured it out. When they're having that 'Oh poor me breadwinner for my family', he's STILL calling Soyeon a Princess and being bitter about her dad being a judge. Not once in the drama, apart from the NK defector lady and even then it was pretty messy, has she used her background to her advantage. She doesn't push it into anyone's face and it's never really mentioned unless he's involved, so while it's a part of her it's not EVERYTHING about her?

You could also say that if he should have a chip on his shoulder with someone, it's Soyeon, but he chooses to focus his ire and resentment on Young Woo, who realistically he's more closer to in terms of background. So yeah, this sudden move to push Soyeon into his arms is a load of cobblers and I will not have it!

#extraordinary attorney woo #if they'd bothered to sow the seeds of redemption earlier then I'd be happy to see it #but the fact the little shit tries to derail Young Woo by the news of her birth mum #thank god Geurami was there to ruin his plan #soyeon is too good for him #geurami is too good for him too #he needs a good wallop tbh #eaw #eaw kdrama #kwon min woo

sooo is anyone gonna write a daemon!au set in TØP's dema-verse or am I gonna have to do it myself?

#twenty one pilots #TØP #his dark materials #the citizens of dema have no daemons of course #have only the faintest concept of a Time Before Vialism when everyone was haunted by a wild animalistic figure #one that tempted and tricked them and pulled them from their True Path #before the bishops in all their glory freed their beloved citizens from this lifelong torment #trapping the beasts in long glass vials #only then could the people of dema fully focus on and commit to their Life's Purpose #of course clancy is different. clancy dreams. and in every one he dreams of an animal in the shadows #and at first hes afraid. he thinks hes somehow been corrupted #but the small twitching shape in his dreams calls to him #and then!! #he sees a bandito for the first time!! #maybe they're helping other citizens escape or just sowing the seeds of rebellion/trying to get people to think #but as clancy watches them he sees movement at their side #and there it is #some small creature mirroring their every move. their every thought. #and clancy is enraptured #anyway eventually he escapes dema and meets the banditos/the torchbearer and learns the truth abt dema/daemons etc etc #he gets dragged back and/or returns to dema out of fear/brainwashing a couple times bc Cycles #but eventually he manages to ??? break his Vial?? man idk but he's reunited with his daemon and its beautiful #also theres an epic (platonic) love story playing out between him and the torchbearer all along. natch #he helps bring down the bishops and free the city yada yada everyone gets their daemons back #the sheer POTENTIAL here folks! #anyway too bad i dont write anymore

I really liked your explanation of the difference between JC and LWJ when it came to how they were constrained by their personal issues. I feel like JC is often seen as "uwu fav uncle who did no wrong and just loved" but that's not true. All the characters may have fucked up, big or small, but it's the way in which they (WWX or LWJ) always try to do the right thing.

In what ways do you think LWJ held back in the ways he could have helped? Or was what you mentioned about talking and pressing the issue after the flower banquet the extent of that?

Man anon, you sure do know how to hone in on a point of conflict 😭 But seriously, I won’t answer this not because I have an issue with the question but because my thoughts on what Lan Wangji could/could not feasibly have done during wwx’s first life has actually changed quite a bit the farther I get from having read the book, and I realize that a lot of my opinions have been influenced by how much I didn’t like how the discourse on the topic was going. (Seriously, I hate the “well he could’ve died!” argument as to why it was “the right choice” for lwj not to side too much with wwx*, because wwx and the Wen remnants DID die, so what makes lwj so special????)

I was actually gonna revisit this when I did my reread (which will probably happen in April to celebrate my one-year anniversary for reading mdzs 🥳), so if you stick around, that’ll go up at some point.

*I’m speaking a little tongue-in-cheek here since the debate is about whether or not he sided with wwx as much as he could’ve at the time, but those previous discourses that pissed me off were definitely worded as “it was good for lwj not to publicly side with wwx because he could have died otherwise”

#mdzs asks #anon #currently i believe that the crucial moment lwj could have made a difference #was when the clans came together and the jin were sowing the seeds of wwx rebelling against the jiang #where lwj calling out jgy gets derailed by lxc siding with jgy #also i think he (and literally anyone else) could have followed wwx to the labor camp to verify his words and actions #but that’s as far as I’m willing to go with my thoughts atm #without rereading

i wonder if anyone's ever made a euron bastard oc. just to explore that fucked dynamic

#given the 'sow them with my seed' comment he probably has more bastards than john the babymaker #i had this ai thing where his daughter killed him in a magic duel but almost died herself #and another where he was chasing some girl who could make snakes from her hair and she ran for her life & sent them to kill him #but when you think seriously #everyone should stay away from him #ESPECIALLY blood relations #'so are the contents of my chamberpot' ass

anyway thinking about diane rick and morty

#random thoughts #guess what motherfuckers it's blue man time #have not seen the new season btw im too lazy ANYWAY #i really like the idea of diane being dead and rick being fucked up having nothing to do with each other #i think rick should be really fucked up about diane being dead but in a 'i didn't care about her before she died why should i care now' #kind of way? like him not caring about her death is a symptom of him being super fucked up #i really like the idea of beth being the result of a teen pregnancy because it runs in the family ig and that's why rick hates jerry #so diane's pregnant and their parents made them get married because that was the trend at the time #loveless marriage exacerbated by rick's rickness which leads to rick dipping a few years in #working 'abroad' or smth idk #he eventually leaves for good when he finds out diane cheated on him and he realizes his life is a fucking telenovela #diane marries the new guy (beth's new stepdad!!! she hates him) and rick keeps up correspondence with beth #to sow seeds of discord #beth loves her distant space dad and hates her mom and her fucking stepdad #beth and rick stop talking to each other sometime before diane dies so he doesn't learn she died until he reinvolves himself in beth's life #beth has an older stepsister named rebecca (becky) #and a younger halfbrother named bandit #she hates becky cuz she's a bitch and hates bandit because she viewed him as a replacement for herself #she absolutely bullied the shit out of bandit but he idolizes her #golden retriever energy. she says jump he says how high #becky was like an older teen when their parents got married and beth was like? four? they have no relationship at all #(diane and the stepdad got married pretty soon after rick dipped btw) #i have not named the stepdad. he remains nameless in the show for comedy purposes and because beth hates him that much #rebecca was like a redhead poodle skirt wearer despite being a teen in the mid-70s #(their hometown had a mid-70's fashion reversion to the 50's it's not important) #she was homecoming queen bee cheerleading captain girlfriend of the quarterback who she married and had 2.5 kids with #bitchy pta wasp mom with a beehive haircut #bandit is in an emotionally abusive relationship with his girlfriend who is an artist (beth meets her and is like 'oh god what did i do') #bandit was also treated like a showdog by his parents (hence the name) #little tykes child pageant star winner. his parents fed him dog food and kept him malnourished so he'd be smaller and pass as a tyke

[dastardlydaemon]

So Daemon inherited Dark Sister after his father had it. Which is something he had in common with him aka being a warrior/fighter. And that means Dae had his mother's personality and his father's poweress. While Viserys got his father's temperment?

#about. #Idk but it seems like dae got the best of his parents gene pool wise #While viserys got the short end of the stick #but he did manage to /maintain/ the peace ✌️ #whole also sowing the seeds of discontent and kinda being responsible for the dance too
