#her good will and her trusting nature

[foxx-queen]

i keep thinking about the datamined conversation between halsin and minthara and what gets me about it is that if you side with halsin and turn minthara away, thats objectively the bad choice.

like at this point, you've rescued minthara from moonrise. you know now that she was being controlled to act against her will. you've gone to the trouble of rescuing her from her tormentors, and you've experienced what it felt like as they tried to destroy her mind. you know what will happen to her if you turn her away. and if you do, you're willingly condemning her to that fate. you've essentially allowed her to experience freedom, to regain her sense of self, only to tear that away from her again.

whereas if you side with minthara, and halsin leaves, that's the only consequence he experiences. that he's not a companion anymore. at this point, we've saved the grove, we've saved him, and we've lifted the shadow curse. we've helped him achieve what hes been hoping to do for over a century. leaving your party won't see him lose his free will. he can return to the grove and live his life.

the choice is essentially either condemn someone to a fate worse than death, knowing exactly what that entails vs not letting someone travel with you anymore. its pretty clear cut to me.

its just interesting to me that they've switched the morality of it around given that minthara is considered the 'evil' companion by so many.

#baldur's gate 3 #baldur's gate 3 spoilers #bg3 spoilers #minthara #minthara baenre #before anyone comes at me and says that halsin is allowed to have his prejudice and his trauma. im not saying hes not #not sure about someone being allowed to have prejudice but yes thats part of human nature i guess #my point isnt that hes not allowed to react like this #my point is that hes wrong. #sure he can be struggling with his trauma and his prejudice over minthara being a lolth sworn (even if shes not anymore) #BUT. at this point we as a character /know/ theres more to her. we know that hes making an unfair assessment of her #which is even more jarring if you're a drow/lolth sworn drow #and at this point. you've saved the grove youve saved him youve helped him break the curse. he tells you its a debt he cant repay #and that hes so thankful. but he wont trust you or your decision. he won't even attempt to #and u know what thats fine. he doesnt have to. but if you're siding with him you're condemning her. you're killing her #if you side against him. he can go back to his responsibilities as an arch druid rather than leaving it in someone elses hands (which was?) #that is the lesser of the two evils here #yes you can call minthara the 'evil' character because shes a lolth sworn but thats just buying into the prejudice halsin is showing #and its wrong #anyways. my point is good for him if he wants to demand you make a ridiculous choice #but turning her away is the bad choice and tbh i feel like the game wants u to know that #and sure if you want to boil it down to which character u like more than the other and u prefer halsin. ur obvs gonna side with him #but in that case u probably wouldn't even get this conversation #because why would u have bothered to spare / save minthara in the first place?

i just think a "friended/romanced + saved + trust aj" violet does such a good job rounding out the plot and characters of S4 and i dont say that lightly

she walls people off out of fear just like S3 clem did and learned to grow out of through the compassion of others. feeling like she could have done more to save minnie being what initially makes her step up to lead, but her accepting her love for clem (and clem choosing to save her) is what leads to her Truly accepting the school and everyone inside it as her Home and gives her something to fight for ("i tried my damnedest not to care about either of you. and i still couldnt tell you why." "i know where youre coming from. after losing so many people, sometimes its easier to keep everyone at arms length." "and then you wonder why you fight so hard to stay alive. i dont wonder anymore."). this being the reasoning behind violets detachment from the school, as well as a negative home life impacting her idea of what a home even was. but together they turn ericson from a prison into the home theyve BOTH been looking for, renaming it together, and envisioning it for the future together. the two of them understand each other deeply, from what theyve lost to how its affected them and the poor ways theyve decided to react to it. but through their support of the other, they BOTH get to evolve into more relaxed and confident versions of themselves, who know Exactly what theyre fighting for

her troubled relationship with brody and getting to learn more about what happened with the twins/violets reaction to it and how she ultimately blames herself/brodys guilt about her part in it and how she misses violet. getting the chance to mend that relationship before its too late. the 3 of them becoming closer because of it. and getting to develop clems friendship with brody leads to a more impactful moment later in the basement

her relationship with tenn reflecting clems relationship with aj, in the way they both made the decision to look after their respective boys after their primary guardians died (ajs parents, tenns sisters). both of them can understand the responsibilities they have taken upon themselves, and how hard it can be to do right. the 4 of them become a tight knit group quickly. especially in EP2 as vi supports clem while tenn supports aj through the marlon fiasco

her confused relationship with minerva introducing interesting conflict both within her relationship with clem (who has her own personal conflict with minerva, which vi still ties into through her relationship with both minnie and tenn) and the over arching plot, which has themes of learning when to let someone go because they are no longer who they once were (clem and lilly "we were family once", mitch about ms martin "you get all caught up in who people used to be, and you cant deal with whats in front of you", violet about minnie "the real minnie? shes been gone this whole time and i have to stop mourning her")

having a saved violet on the boat expanding the conversation with minerva about her motivations with the delta. violet apologizing for never looking for her, minnie saying she knows she would have but that its too late now, so sure this is just the way things have to be. getting to hear minnie say "you can be rewarded, just like i am", giving us insight into her character. and clem getting the last word before she rams the door down, her and violet fighting minnie Together. and violet saves clems life, making the Choice to shoot minerva, which in and of itself is a huge moment for violets character in regards to her relationship with both minnie And clem

and aj shooting tenn on the bridge brings things full circle, by putting violet in the same position louis was in EP2, where aj has killed the most important person to her, in an effort to save her life, and now she must reckon with those feelings the same way louis had to about marlon. not so easy now is it violet? ("so youre mad, but sad" "can i be that for a while?" "yeah, its ok")

just... ough... violets whole character just fits into Everything so well, but in a way that elevates the characters and plots around her, while also developing her into her own

#plus tenn dying with minnie feels like looking at a clem and aj Bad End and that feels intentional #and vi being there fighting minnie for tenns life....the boy she took it upon herself to look out for.. and losing him 😭 #ALSO i feel like the whole point of S4 is raising aj into someone clem trusts. like did you do a good job raising him or not?? #like through the decisions i made i Did naturally trust him in that cave. but after seeing other routes i can def see why some didnt #but even if clem doesnt trust him in that cave he still proves later in the barn that he knows when to make his own call #its more about what clem has to lose/how long it takes for her to trust aj. he knows what hes doing now. clem says as much #none of this is me saying picking louis' route is BAD. im just pointing out the ways violets works on so many levels for me #esp since the season is already so short. all of this really helps to flesh out the plot and side characters in those 4 eps #but anyway this is why i cant stand violet slander especially when people say she was underdeveloped compared to other characters #i just think youre not paying attention to her #but what else is new for female characters #twdg #it speaks

Omg you know what I hate the most. Those stupid fucking posts that are just like men outright saying they're only interacting with you, listening to you talk about your interests or letting you share smthn with them, etc so they can fuck you. Like they're just boldly saying "yeah, dont believe us when we seem genuinely interested in what you're saying. We're desperate for pussy actually & just pretending! Make no mistake I couldn't care less! It's a facade! Just in it for pussy!"

#its like yeah.....i know.....wheres the joke #“”“babygirl he doesnt care about ur squishamallow names hes tryna blow ur back out!!!” “ #“'she let me hit cuz i listened to the monster high lore' #“pretending to fw her shitty indie vinyl so i can smash”“ #“”pussy so good got a nigga sittin here like ohh so serena and blair ARENT really friends???“”“ #its just my number 1 ick #like yeah fuck me for thinking a man could simultaneously respect & fuck you but its actually legitimately impossible for a man to #see the full humanity in some(one)thing he considers HIS to dominate by nature #radfems do touch #radfems do interact #radical feminism #terf safe #terfs do touch #radfem safe #terfs do interact #but yeah men are the lonely ones :( #men are the ones w deep trust issues :(

been laying here listening to Lucky by Dermot Kennedy on loop for half an hour while thinking about Everything Stays and crying

#it’s good crying dw i am just. i have so many feelings about this story #Seven’s Celestial Commentary #Everything Stays #writing stuff #i may be stuck in bed struggling to type due to personal reasons but that will Not stop me from cooking up ideas for this fic #there is gonna be so much fucking angst and it’s gonna hurt soooooo good #the more i listen to it the more the possibilities expand #i can easily see Moon and Reader going back and forth between verses vulnerably arguing over Sun #but i can also see it being Sun and Moon getting real and discussingcougharguingover Reader #can’t decide which i like more #god i wish y’all could see this story the way it plays out in my head #next best thing would be to keep writing and sharing the story instead of vagueposting abt future plot points tho wouldn’t it lmao #and GOD don’t even get me fucking STARTED on Two Hearts… #Dermot Kennedy’s music is responsible for yet Another plot point for this story and i can’t even be mad about it. his fucking lyricsss dude #‘and so we jump to the THEATER??? in that SAME OLD TOWN???’ DO WE? FUCK I GUESS WE DO NOW!!! #picture me listening to that song and inspiration hitting me like a truck. diligently taking notes like the lyrics r instructions from God #‘she sees his face?? and HE sees HER as the LIGHTS GO DOWN???’ write that down write that down #‘the life that they should’ve had sat between them that night??’ FUCK Man yeah it sure did!!! #anyways it’s chill i’m chill. i’m very normal about my little stories and their musical inspirations! #and i’ve listened to these songs a very normal amount (translation: they will likely be in my top ten for the 2024 wrapped) #(cut to the scenes playing vividly in my head) ‘Well‚ at least I can always say that I /told/ her!’ #‘I can’t relate to having a heart like that‚ Sun! With all of your wonder and your trust intact…’ #like no i wouldn’t lift the lyrics directly for the song to use as dialogue but FUCk does it work well.. Lucky is such a good script for- #like- a heated conversation between my Relentlessly Positive Sun and my Apathetic Jaded Moon #‘How could our farewell mean as much as our time? Honey‚ I’ll be gone. It’s better if I’m something that you leave behind.’ #‘I used to paint these trees‚ now I just scream at the sky. Honey I was wrong. Guess there’s certain things you never leave behind.’ #*sobbing shaking throwing up clawing at the walls* I Am Normal About These Characters #anyways uh. on an unrelated note how many song lyrics do ya think i can cram into ES before it’s Too Many #gonna have to start getting creative with how i can incorporate more songs in a way that feels natural and not forced #even tho i am forcing it. i am forcing it very much bc i have songs with applicable lyrics and y’all Will read them one way or another

[faux-ho]

the bear has left me feeling quite numb i’m not gonna lie.

this will definitely be my least favorite season. it just feels like THE MIDDLE ™️ i need to see how the whole story concludes, where our players end up to give a final verdict

and y’all… don’t make me have to defend claire but someone saying it was out of line for her to be at the friends and family night, when she is clearly both to the berzatto’s, is ridiculous.

she has a relationship with sugar. richie literally touched foreheads with her in the middle of service. carmy just presumably asked her to be his gf the night before. im not into her or the plot line but she is a friend and was potentially on her way to being family.

#they did ebra dirty #i wasn’t the biggest fan of claire going in but i didn’t like her path that she was given and felt a little defensive of her by the end #carmen anthony berzatto #WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU #YOU SOFT PETITE LITTLE BITCH #sydney #im so worried about her #when her chef friend was like ‘listen to your gut’ and i screamed bc baby your gut said ‘QUIT!’ #it said ‘FUCK THESE ASSHOLES IM OUT’ and she should really have gotten out of dodge… #but she continues to ignore her instincts and trusts carmy while he continues to be more and more untrustworthy #also #either fic writers were very good at making natural decisions based on the characters laid out for us in s1 or them #mfs where in the ao3 tag DEEP #the bear fx #the bear spoilers

girls night

#from earlier #um. i died to cavemama so i lost doggy and have to go back and get her again #knew cahara would fuck off it was still kind of funny i didnt know it was as soon as zone change. #His patches like nature. my hot take #thats such a good character though its really funny to me i love.going yeah ill trust you buddy youd never wrong me. #OP #lp #g: f&h #i think ill go to whats presumably the mines instead of trying to fight cavemama because non controllable dog is a bit annoying for that #my baby doesnt hit for shit and my girl was missing hits and my dog biting whatever the fuck

[pocketlad]

In Among Us would Starlow always kill Luigi first when shes the imposter because its hilarious to her

#shes like 'luigi come on you can trust me! im your friend! im not it this time!' #and he falls for it each time because of his good nature and as soon as he starts trusting her she kills him lmao

[navree]

also another thing to point out in my “saying sasha would have been a better archivist than jon and would have avoided all the pitfalls that ultimately led to all the bad things and eventually the mass ritual is a stupid take” saga, sasha actually kinda seems to both like and trust elias. and definitely is more willing to express it than jonathan ‘prickly’ sims, so whereas jon was doing his thing in a combination of curiosity, manipulations, and paranoia, sasha would probably be just as curious, just as manipulated by unseen forces (considering that NO ONE saw what was coming), and rather than paranoia, just being more willing to trust in elias’s help than most and follow his guidance, especially if there was never any leitner murder that ultimately made elias reveal himself sooner than he might have liked.

#personal #the magnus archives #mag relisten #i mean it's a fascinating premise to go on for anyone who DOES wanna do any 'archivist sasha' fics #cuz whereas jon and elias clearly have a rapport #(tho elias has a rapport with all his employees that's part of what made his reveal so stunning they all seemed to LIKE him beforehand) #(and he wasn't a bad boss) #jon's also more willing to be distant about things due to his nature #sasha's FINAL scene has her chuckling fondly about a perceived weird quirk of elias's #and i personally believe that elias did enjoy sasha to a certain extent probably the same way he enjoyed all the archive crew #in the early seasons when they still weren't aware and they trusted him and he was being Good Boss #and i maintain that he was deeply unhappy about her murder by the notthem if only because he didn't want something encroaching on his turf #(also we need an explanation as to how he was able to escape the 'wave of worms' that separated him and sasha) #(but that's for another time)

[juuuuunaaaaaooooo]

RIO IS SO GOOD AT PLAYING TOO!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE IT'S BETH LEVEL!!!!! (IDIOTS SOULMATES)!!!!!

#I really think it's a good parallel #like her he use is natural charm for making people trust him #and kind of manipulate them #they are the worst #^^ #gg rewatch 2022 #gg rewatch #ggrewatch #ggrewatch2022 #3x03 #nbc good girls #beth x rio #rio x beth #brio

do you think yaz would like it if either dysfunctional timelord would come to her in obvious distress, like regardless of her ability to really Fix the source of distress do you think she’d be secretly thrilled? do you think her enjoyment of that scenario would go up the more honest and willing their display of distress was?

#thinking about it rotating it in my mind #it's not gonna change anything about how im writing her/them/this situation bc i think im writing yaz mostly as how she is in the show #but she also doesnt really get much opportunity to help like people who are asking for it. especially people she cares about #bc she has sort of a 'i can fix her' thing. i think? not as much as maybe other comapnions. or maybe in another way #but it's there bc shes a doctor mirror so it's like. the doctor thinks that if they can fix the master they can fix themself #and yaz thinks that if she can fix the doctor she can fix herself #not really exactly that but like. thats the gist right? like their own apotheosis is based on if they can Help #in a specific way/a specific person/a specific person in a specific way #bc yaz isnt like. a people person. shes not a natural with people (hashtag autistic yaz) but like #being ASKED. being SHOWN. being willingly shown by someone she cares about that they are in distress #being TRUSTED in that way. i think she'd love that #also being needed! it's being needed. i thnk she needs that like the doctor does #especially i think she wants the doctor to need her. maybe to make it equal? to make the relationship feel more equal? #maybe another reason idk #but im just thinking about like how she'd feel if either 13 or missy like. sorta willingly showed her that vulnerability #i dont think she'd be HAPPY exactly. but she'd feel wanted and needed and valued and trusted and all those things are good #and she can never help i think. the problems i make 13 and missy come to her with are not problems she can solve #but thats also not really what they come to her with. it's more like just. to rest. #bc they can get a lot from each other but it's rarely really rest #i think they can feel at home with each other but i dont think they can ever entirely rest. they cant entirely let their guard down #they cant take their masks off entirely bc theyre sharing the masks #but with yaz each of them individually Can kinda do that #yaz can see each of them in a way they cant see each other and she dOESNT KNOW THAT but ohh boy imagine if she did #i wrote a scene yesterday where in a moment like this yaz did too much like what the doctor would do and it broke her relationship withmissy #so im not keeping that bc i want this relationship to stay the way it is now if i needed another thoschei i wouldnt be writing yaz/missy #but this is why that was i think. yaz is like the doctor except with missy shes not the doctor and thats important #and missy is like yaz wrt the doctor but with yaz shes not the master and that is also important

12/22/22: I did some character pages! This is Tilly’s character page (I have 3 others I did today). 

“Tilly” Matilda Murray/Mr. Matthew Murray-Grey/Professor Matilda M. Knight

Charles and Danice Murray’s second daughter. Rosalie’s younger butch horse-loving sister. Conspired with her sister to make their second governess, Miss Grey’s life miserable because they wanted their first governess Miss Holburn to return. 

Tilly becomes a female husband and marries Hester Knight under a new male identity. 

Later in life, she finishes her incomplete education and reunites with Miss Holburn to help her run an all girl’s school. They are both professors with college degrees by this point. 

Through her sister Rosalie’s social connections, she meets The Starlings (a couple in a lavender marriage- a gay man marries a lesbian) and then becomes Lady Gerry Starling’s long time lover. 

Birthday: April 30th (Taurus) 

Tilly is a soft butch with a generally naïve nature.

#Tilly: The Progress of a Victorian Lesbian and Female Husband #nanowrimo 2022 #victorian lesbians #I adapted her from Agnes Grey she's a rewritten version of Matilda #my sketches #yes her nature is incredibly naïve she's way too trusting #Agnes appears as Mrs. Weston in this and she actually helps Matilda #female husband #to hide their identities later Hess and Tilly agree to use the name Grey as their married name #the exact birth years have to be finalized I'm still editing #the two best love stories for Tilly are Tilly & Hess and Tilly & Gerry #I haven't written enough with Ursa yet to make that one as good but yeah Tilly basically has three main romances it is a LONG story #she is probably born around 1850 but possibly later (it's later than Agnes Grey) #lesbian characters #writeblr #I retyped what the picture says cuz my handwriting is a mess :/ #WIP #mychatter #b. h. avondale

The brains

People are not so much your forte. You are more at home with thoughts, ideas, hobbies, skills. As such, you probably have to learn how to work well with others -- but once you do, hey, it has its moments. While you are treasured for your ability to solve problems, people also have this unique love of novelty. When you break from your schedule, when you say something no one is expecting -- that’s novel. You are as curious and lovable as the subjects you study. You are family. this place is not the same without your witty comments and wry observations. You definitely feel more comfortable when someone needs a straightforward answer than a shoulder to cry on, but it’s not impossible to give both. Know that your family loves you for more than that, though, and will (usually) remember to respect your boundaries.

i have had the best evening

i went to the stables with my sister and her best friend, who cares for one of the horses there

i've always been a bit afraid of horses but i had none of that now. i brushed them and fed them and led them and had a lovely time

and the ornery stable cat who's never liked a human in his life took to me, and i got to hold him for ages while he purred and made biscuits

#sister's friend said she'd never seen the cat act like that #ever #made me feel so special #and i had such a lovely time brushing this 29-year-old good boy that i almost cried lol #he was having such a good time and so was i #it's a feeling and a half to have this massive animal just leaning on you and enveloping you in warmth #wow it was great #and i learned to pick their hooves too! it was fun #and my sister was so in awe of me taking to it so naturally when she's been there a few times but is still wary of the horses #and so was her friend #felt good #i love animals so much wow #it's so good to earn their trust #internal monologue

[pinkhysteria]

whatever else happens it’s canon that gina has intense, lingering feelings for ricky that failed to go away even with that college student around, and that’s enough of a win for me 😁

#rina #it won't be my ONLY win - trust - but imma enjoy it still! #gina having a forever connection to ricky as long as he’s in her life >>> some damn granola bars #gina having to ‘try’ to be a good girlfriend to ej but her bond with ricky is just natural. 🤷🏽

[vogelmeister]

me on my way to make this the most emotionally charged monologue of the play

#listen its good now but i read it in my head and im not sure of it sounds natural to be spoken #i think it only works if the entire thing is a fourth wall break bc there is no one else this character could be speaking to #but like I can’t imagine how one would deliver it and in a play i think yhats a problem #i never said it was an easy monologue #to perform #it would make the evilist of audition material #basically the reason its so important is bc for most of the play merel is pretty closed off #most of what the audience finds out about her is from rosella’s perspective #so its almost merel going ‘hey this is my past and i suddenly was beginning to trust again’ #i think i need to actually perform it. like say it and perform it and record it and figure out where it sounds unnatural #and then do that for everything else in that play #i say this bc the whole validity of merel’s character to me rests on how believable that monologue is. #like if i saw this play and I couldn’t believe that monologue it would takeaway from her arc #you finally see her perspective #of like heartbreak and falling in love again to suspected betrayal #im just a shit writer rn #im probably also a shit actor #anyways time to be an extrovert i guess before i yeet off to netherlands #i need a tag where i over share about my ocs #writers of tumblr #writing problems #dutch language found dead
