#i genuinely don't know where this came from

[loveyazy]

Hi! So I haven't read acotar (well a little bit but it didn't hook me) but I've been reading your posts about the upcoming book and I'm so curious, I don't know these characters but the second hand gossip is fun and I'm rooting for them lol when does the book come out? when will it be announced who the protagonists are?

JSHDKAKJSD I had written so much on my phone but then I closed all the apps and I lost it so hopefully I can remember most of it still.

The thing is it's OBVIOUS it's going to be Elain. She has even said in this interview x at 25:00. I don't know why people genuinely think GWYN is going to be the next book 🫠. Her purpose was to help Nesta. Outside of that, there is not much left to tell of her story. It's done. TBH, I completely forgot she even existed after I finished reading ACOSF. Like I kept seeing posts about her on my insta discover, and I was like who tf is Gwyn? 💀

Also just... ELAIN IS THE THIRD ARCHERON SISTER. How can it NOT be about her when Feyre had the first three and then Nesta had the fourth? Like it's so painfully obvious. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just delusional.

Even if it's not Elain and it happens to be Mor, it's NOT going to be Gwyn before Elain LMFAO.

But this is why I think it's going to be Elriel and not Elucien.

Firstly, Koschei the Deathless. The story follows Ivan marries his THREE SISTERS to THREE WIZARDS.

Ivan saw his three sisters wed to the first suitors who came across them—wizards in the form of birds.

Hmmm THREE SISTERS. BIRDS >>>> BATS. 👀

Eventually Ivan goes on to defeat Koschei with the help of his sisters and their husbands.

And then we have another Koschei retelling. The FOX and the FIREBIRD. Listen Sarah was not subtle with the names. Vasalisa >> Vassa. Lucien had a fox mask in ACOTAR, making him the obvious fox. You can read more on it here but I'm going to do a quick summary.

A king has a garden that produces one gold apple a day, but it was stolen every night. He promised half his kingdom to whichever son could catch the thief. He has three sons, and they all tried to catch it. The third son saw the firebird and shot at it, and hit the bird in the wing, but it escaped and left behind a golden feather. The king wants the fire bird and promises whoever brings the fire bird alive would get half the kingdom and be the heir. So they all go out to find the Fire Bird, and they all encounter a Red Fox.

The fox approaches each prince, and asks for something to eat, but the first two shoot at it. The third prince shares his food. So the Red Fox takes him to the palace where the fire bird is and tells him how to grab the fire bird by putting it in the wooden cage, not the golden. Well, the prince says how can a lovely bird be in a wooden cage and proceeds to put it back in the golden, but then basically sounds an alarm and he gets arrested. The King tells him to bring him back a golden man.

The fox says he'll help the prince, but of course the prince is a dumbass and goes I'm gonna choose the pretty one instead of the one the fox told me to choose and he gets arrested and this king says bring back Princess Goldilocks from the Golden Palace in the Black Sea.

Anyways it goes on and the third brother is betrayed by his other two, and the fox brings him back to life. In the end he gets the kingdom, the firebird, Goldilocks, etc. The fox is very instrumental in this story.

SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU HAVEN'T READ ALL OF ACOTAR

We have hints that Lucien and Vassa are very close. They talk to each other. Plus they live together along with Jurian.

Plus if it was going to be Elucien there would be hints that Elain even had romantic feelings for him. Even a little attraction. She doesn't. She literally stares at a boiling tea kettle until he leaves because she doesn't want to spend any time with him.

She wants nothing to do with him. And yes sure she says she doesn't want a male, but remember that she is still dealing with the traumatic events of being forced into the cauldron and being changed.

This though, happens a year later with Azriel...

Imagine seeing this in the most recent book, and thinking they're like siblings. Sounds like the antis have some sort of incesty weird freaky ass sibling relationships. 😬

This also happens in the book, which I believe is during the same time? But Az's was a bonus chapter and this was available to everyone.

Elain is not herself around Lucien. I don't understand how anyone can see their relationship and think that's going to be endgame. This was the most recent book.

Even before ACOSF, Nesta and Cassian had this in the previous book that alluded to their romance.

But there is absolutely nothing to allude to any sort of Elucien romance. Elain wants NOTHING to do with Lucien. And honestly, I don't blame her. Who would? He was a part of the most traumatic thing that ever happened to her.

I'll never understand Elucien shippers. If you like Lucien, why would you ship him with someone who wants nothing to do with him? If you like Elain why would you ship her with someone she wants nothing to do with?

I'm 10000000% convinced the Elucien shippers are just Gwynriels who ship them so they can have their ship justified, but most of their evidence is just their headcanons, and them not being able to read between the lines and interpreting things very wrong.

#pro elriel #anti gwynriel #anti elucien #elriel #pro elain archeron #pro azriel #i tagged these as antis so if you come for me I'm going to ask why the fuck you're here?

[brooklynisher]

Do you have any other obscure spg characters u wanna ramble about bc I genuinely didn't know taggart was like . A Thing (am I even spelling his name right)(I do not know how to spell)

WELL I'm not as thinky thonky with these other characters as I am with the Babclocks, but here are some random ones to throw at you!

Marylin Verato and Jaquelyn Pomene [x]

Harold (from Steam Powered Giraffe accounting, been working since he was 5)

EDIT: ALSO here's some ones I barely remember existed

Bip Has the soda brand Also a place in Kazooland, "The capital of Merveille was named after its founder, and is a favorite spot for vacation for Peter Walter VI. It was also in Bip that the Great War of 1823 was ended by a mysterious mime with a magical kazoo." [x]

Doctor Laborday An old hero Rabbit compared to Rex Marksley

Howard Lloyd "This large sprawling landscape of suburbia is a metropolis of 1950's ideals, where the beautiful residents are protected from the ravages of time by a blue matter rich force field over the city. Created by a visionary man from Earth after slipping through an interdimensional rift, Howard Lloyd saw the potential of the unstable rift and created what some have called the 1950s utopia of mankind. Those who enter the city rarely decide to leave the prospect of eternal youth, but some do choose to escape Preferbia's roving gangs of fish mutants and frequent attacks by the Hypexion Moon Worms" [x]

[youremyheaven]

What are your thoughts on men with prominent Venus nakhatras? Ngl, I feel from personal experience that Purva Phalguni men have an inclination to be more promiscuous compared to other nakshatras 😂 Do you feel Bharani and Uttara Phalguni are similar as well?

my FAV question 😍bc I'm a Venusian men connoisseur, enthusiast and expert 😤🤭

God has given me the exquisite privilege of having known many Venusian men and women and let me tell y'all 😍I love them😍 this is gonna be a bit of a storytime as well so buckle up.

Fair warning, these experiences are a bit of a mixed bag 🤧😤

1. Purvaphalguni Moon guy, super duper sweet, would bring me chocolates, drop me home in his car whenever I asked?? just all around super considerate?? he always did that tall guy thing where they bend forward a little bit to hear you better and idk it always made my heart skip a beat 😌he once saw me argue with a guy and he intervened and then also told me to let him know if this other guy ever gave me trouble (im really into this kind of performative masculinity 😌) he always defended me in front of others?? and always took my side and made me feel comfortable. he asked me out one night and confessed that he had a thing for me for 5 years (i been knowing but I played it cool 😎) but then got all pervy and said he wished I was in bed next to him??? 🤮🤮🤮Imagine waiting 5 years to confess and then u fkn ruin it like that ??? Gave me the ICK big time. I stopped talking to him, 6 months later, he texts me again and says he misses me and wants to ask me out again and I was seeing my ex at that point so I told him I'm seeing someone else and he said ?? it doesn't matter ??? 😭😭 and that he's never ever felt this way ever before and that he wanted me to think this over ??? (I never texted him after that)

2. Purvaphalguni Moon man in his 30s- I worked with him a few years ago. He was super shy and kind of awkward but extremely intelligent and good at what he did. He was married and had a kid. He always gave me mixed signals?? one day I was working with him and it was just us and he said that he's been intrigued by me since the first day and that he usually never initiates conversation with anyone but really wants to talk to me (he seemed genuine and he legit did not speak to anybody there and he had a very warm gentlemanly demeanor so none of this sounded creepy to me) and he told me that I seem very different from everybody else and I was like 😏😏but then he said "you seem to carry a heavy emotional burden" and I was like 😳😳how u know that and I said (we were talking in our mother tongue and I said this using very formal language??) "I don't deny that" and he responded (in similarly formal language) "Even if you do, I won't believe you" and trust me y'all my heart was 😭😭😭he always helped me?? always did little things to make things easier for me?? even when we weren't directly working together, i could always tell he was watching me?? He always indulged me?? I remember how I'd do something stupid and look at him with a 🥺🥹poor me kind of expression and his face would soften and he'd help me out in a very warm genuinely sweet way?? the first guy I mentioned was also like that, the eyes chico, they never lie

3. My ex had Venus atmakaraka so I'm gonna include him 🤪

Y'all the man was obsessed with me. He'd come all the way over to my house, just to see me stand on my balcony 😭 he came all the way over to my house to give me a love letter he wrote for me?? He knew I loved dark chocolate so one day out of the blue, he bought me a big bar for no reason?? along with a book because he knows I love to read 😭😭he loved giving head 🤪i associate being a giver with Venusian men ngl and he always told me he was so fond of it. He always video called me bc he missed seeing me and whenever we went even a little while without talking on call, he'd call me and then say "God I missed your voice, please keep talking, I just want to hear you" 😭😭😭and he'd buy me little gifts 🥺 and we'd do this thing where he kissed me all over my face, even on video?? like I'd point to my forehead and he'd kiss that, then cheek, other cheek until my whole face was covered. I have a lot of moles all over me and he remembered them all and he'd give kisses to them as well 😭😭😭he always told me how pretty I looked and whenever I got shy, he'd do these cute hand gestures that you'd do to coo a baby?? and he'd say "awwww ur sooo cuteee when ur shy" and give me kisses 🥺and he always told me how he wants to see me make art etc and he'd call me after every therapy session to know how it went 🥺🥺 a million things were wrong with our relationship but all the goodness i associate with Venus tbh 😍

4. my Purvashada Moon male friend

he was in a relationship when i was friends with him but again, he was sooooo fond of me 🥺I was chilling with his gf once and he ran up to us with a DSLR and took pics of me and not her?? (I always felt like he didn't enjoy being with her but this moment really cemented that) he always included me in everything and he loved it when I'd make my jokes or tease him or whatever,, I'm the type of person who loves to be taken care of and he was the kind of guy who loved taking care of people,, he was always gentlemanly and sweet and would compliment me randomly?? again, he's never been a creep to me but I always felt awkward about how he seemed to treat me better than he treated his gf (he ended up cheating on her and breaking up with her so 😬😬)

5. Bharani Moon failed talking stage

He was super duper sweet. Extremely gentlemanly and considerate. One thing I've noticed is that all these Venusian men have complimented my voice/said they love to listen to me talk. I used to sing this man to sleep ya'll 🥹and he always said I put him in a trance?? lol? One time I told him that I'm such a boomer and I only know how to use my phone to text and make calls and he said "that's all you need to know cause if you need anything else, you have me" (for context: he was a software engineer) he helped me set up my LinkedIn??? one day we were on call and he asked me "oh the xyz internship you mentioned, can you tell me more about it?" and i thought it was a general question and i started yapping and he did that with my other internships and finally he said, "okay check your WhatsApp" and he had sent me a summarised bullet point list of everything??? and he said "okay now just copy paste this to LinkedIn" and i was so shook?? lol, he stayed on call with me until I was done, i asked him a million dumb questions and he was patient af and literally held my hand through the whole process (setting up a profile is really not that hard at all, it's just filling up a bunch of stuff and he was helping me out with that) after things ended between us, we spoke one more time and he said "I made xyz dish" (a dish that I had told him was my fav and which he didn't know how to make and promised me he would learn) and i was like "why?" and he said "because I was thinking of you and promised you I'd learn to make it" 😩😩😩😩i s2g these Venusian men really know how to get into ur heart bc wtf

6. Bharani Moon, the guy who I think might be my twin flame

First of all, UFFFFF he was obsessed with me. For over a year, he'd just follow me around like a lamb and stare. Even after he asked me out and I said I wasn't interested, he still didn't give up??? he seemed so obsessed with me , it was crazyy, he told me he just wanted to see me and talk to me (I don't know his personality at all but getting those texts kinda creeped me out but maybe he was as genuine as all the other guys?? 😶 Idk) he was always so intense?? like he never shied away from expressing his interest in me, i never expected him to be so forthcoming lol. he came all the way to my uni for no reason than to see me not once but TWICE 🥺🥺wish i could've interacted with him offline to gauge his personality bc based on how he was on text and call, I was put off by his intensity

edit:

7. bc i remembered another guy who was a Purvaphalguni Sun, Purvashada Moon

he was super sweet to me, he always wanted to talk to me, we'd spend hours talking and he always complimented me, he always asked me if he could bring me snacks??? and he lived like half an hour away and he always said "yk you just have to call and ill be at your door" whenever i spoke about wanting to travel, he'd always say "i'll take you" (i had known of him for a long time but we'd only been talking for a few days so i thought it was too much and kinda gave me the ick???) and he was always just doing THE most and then he got super pervy which made me uncomfortable. i told him off for it and he said sorry and then literally in the next conversation when i asked him "what are three things you'd want to do before you die?", he said 2 things and then said "you" and i was like 🙄🙄and he said "dont hold it against me, im a dying man" ICKKKK anyways we stopped talking lol

im actually only now realising that ive had less than positive experiences with Venusian women lol lmk if you want me to talk about that tho 😶

[once-and-future-alaskan]

I think someone should put a bayonet through my spine, preferably on the end of a rifle so they can leave it in there and then the weight of the gun would make it fall over and wrench out of my back painfully.

It'd fix me, I think.

#i genuinely don't know where this came from #but it is the sudden mood

[boilingcowboy]

"I could fix him" I mean great but I could throw him down the rabbit hole of what is the 2016 killer clowns and watch him try and crawl out of it

#I genuinely don't know where this came from #yeah still not over the killer clowns idk why

[theragethatisdesire]

I know you’ve said writing gojo scares you butttttt since he’s in your lineup for requests I was thinking number 9 with fluff and whatever else you want (: thank youuuuuu

okay i am still scared of writing gojo BUT he's so tasty i just genuinely can't deal with it. thank you for your request my love<333

-

Since the day you tumbled into Gojo Satoru's sheets, you knew what your last words would be. From the moment he raised his blindfold to peer down at you with those icy blue eyes, you knew he would be the death of you. You just hadn't been willing to accept how literal that feeling would be.

Standing between the special grade curse and Nobara, unconscious on the floor behind you, the knowledge that Satoru is dozens of miles away with no idea of the position you're in sinks in your stomach like a rock. You're no novice, special grade curses aren't something that keep you up at night, but what hadn't been included in the intel was that this specific special grade had swallowed one of Sukuna's fingers. The lack of Itadori's presence is enough to tell you that Satoru, and by extension, the school, was unaware of this fact.

The curse shrieks at you menacingly, shockwaves of cursed energy echoing off of the walls of the warehouse. You feel a thick swallow slide down your throat, steel yourself.

Since the day you first felt Satoru's hands on your skin, his mouth on yours, you knew your last words would be.

Damn you, Gojo Satoru.

"That's not very nice," comes the voice over your shoulder, the very voice you've been desperate to hear for the last half hour. Not having realized you'd spoken out loud, you jump at his response, startled.

"Satoru?" You call out, disbelieving and unwilling to look over your shoulder, take your eyes off of the special grade that's snarling at you across the room. You don't want to acknowledge that it might really be him in the interest of not brewing a fresh batch of false hope in your chest, but you can feel a cold chill wash over you, a hard, invisible shield encasing you from the world around you, and realize that he's encapsulated you in his infinity.

"The one and only," Satoru, the master of nonchalance, turns you around, pulls you in for a deep kiss. You let out a muffled cry of annoyance, and Satoru pulls away, pouting. He frowns deeper, features wrinkled with uncharacteristic worry, when he gets a proper look at you: bruise already forming on your cheekbone and lip split. "This asshole really roughed you up, huh?"

"You didn't notice your unconscious student when you warped in?" You tip your head meaningfully towards Nobara.

"She'll be alright," Satoru and his damned six eyes don't look too concerned, a little crease appearing between his brows as he cups your chin, "are you?"

"I'm okay, I'm just," you hate the way your voice breaks, cracks under the weight of your exhaustion, "he has a finger, one of Sukuna's."

That finally catches Satoru's attention, and he nods determinedly, a small smile curling the corner of his mouth at the prospect of a fight that might actually entertain him.

"Hold on, I'll get us out of here, okay?" Satoru pushes you behind him, one of his large hands gripping your waist firmly in reassurance. "Just hold on."

It takes Satoru all of ten minutes to exorcise the curse, procure the finger, and not break a sweat while doing it. Sometimes you have to remind yourself that you're not an inadequate sorcerer, far from it, but that he's the Strongest. It's a comfort and a thorn in your side all at once.

"How did you know?" You ask him later, propped up on his kitchen counter with ice held to your swollen bottom lip.

"Know what?" Satoru hums, wrapping strong arms around your waist and nuzzling into your shoulder like a dog.

"That I needed your help today. How did you know?"

"Don't you know better than to ask silly questions?" Satoru leans back, boops your nose with a long finger. "I always have an eye on you."

"Thanks for sparing me a sixth of your focus," you roll your eyes, resting your forehead against his shoulder, too tired to deal with Satoru's chipper attitude.

There's something in the way he hugs you next, something in the way he pulls you so tightly against him that you can't breathe, the way he has his infinity off so you can really feel him against you. Something more than...whatever this is, whatever mess you two have created of your feelings for one another, of the blurred lines of professionalism and living on the precipice of certain death that keep you a hair's breadth away from truly being together. Satoru mumbles something unintelligible into your hair.

"What?"

"I'm sorry," his voice is hardly above a whisper, it trembles like you've never heard before, "I would have never let you take that curse on if I'd known about the finger."

"I am a sorcerer you know," a breathy laugh escapes you even through the tight knot in your chest, a desperate attempt to make the moment more light-hearted because you don't know if you can handle more of Satoru than he's already given you, "it's in my job description."

"I don't care," Satoru answers you, squeezing tighter, "if I had been any later, if the curse had been any stronger-"

"Satoru," you cut him off, leaning back to look at him. He's more solemn than you've ever seen him, no sparkle of mischief glimmering amongst the ice of his eyes, no smirk threatening to split his face open. "Are you okay?"

"I'm not going to lose you," he says, voice firm and soft all at once, "not today, not tomorrow. Do you hear me?"

"Yes," you whisper, eyes wide with shock.

"Good." Satoru's voice rings with finality as he pulls you back into him, rubs little circles into your back with his fingers. You can feel his chest thudding with the telltale rhythm of a pounding heart where it's pressed to you.

Maybe whatever you have with Satoru isn't rose petals and rainbows, but in his arms, you feel your body slump, your sharp-tuned instincts dull, and for the first time in years, you feel your eyes flutter shut and your mouth pull into a sleepy smile. Whatever the two of you have definitely isn't perfect, but it's home, and for now, that's enough.

H– hear me out. Found family.

but it's Rose and Jed and the Corinthian is the cool uncle who pops by and takes Jed to eat ice-cream and amusement parks and just accidentally leaves the thing that Rose happens to be needing that week around. Oh, a sandwich and... candy? Oh, nice the hole in the wall is repaired. Oh a new fridge. Why is there a jar of eyes–

And then discussions happen "yea kid gotta do what it takes to survive. I know how it is when parents ain't around."

Rose stresses out for her law school exams so the Corinthian asks her questions on the material. He thinks it's all bullshit because

"No problem that can't be solved with murder or sex."

It actually really puts things in perspective for Rose. Just maybe there are worse things in the universe than potentially failing law exams (she won't).

"You're so perfect all the time kiddo, gotta unwind a little." And The Corinthian just takes her and Jed to the places he's been to he thinks are the coolest.

He shows Jed his collection of portraits of people who have the most perfect teeth.

"Do you have to brush yours? Eye-teeth I mean? Cause I hate brushing my teeth couldn't imagine doing it three times."

"Jed–" Rose tries to interrupt. But Jed has questions.

"Do you have three oesophagi ? I learned the word oesophagus in biology today."

Increasingly bothered Corinthian rakes hand through his hair. "Uh–"

What was he thinking.

"Can you laugh with them? Are they connected or can you use them like independent one from the other. How can you even ACTUALLY SEE"

"I DON'T KNOW AIGHT– ask Morpheus."

Rose is not a vortex anymore but these kids attract trouble, petty criminals, flaming sofas on wheels, and malevolent entities like the Corinthian has never seen.

Rose doesn't know of course.

The Corinthian always gets to them first.

Once Dream visits and Rose almost calls him granddad.

#you're safe with me #i #have no idea where that came from #don't hurl stones at me ok #the corinthian #rose walker #jed walker #the sandman #actually I think I do know it's cause #i feel like when he said #he was genuine #also genuinely cool with jed #like yea adults are warped and fucked but children? leave them fuckers alone #i... just think #given Rose's previous roommates if there was one person who can tolerate a little weirdness it's her lol #maybe she gets the Corinthian to only eat eyes of really bad people idk #(Jeff Bezos)

[hyacinthsdiamonds]

You were both born under the same stars. You don't particularly like to think about that fact often as it does come off far too sickeningly sentimental, yet it is true. Just sixteen days separate his date of birth from yours, you have never known the world without him in it.

There is an irony in those stars, one you cannot help but smirk at. You both share the same star sign; Libra. Libra, you learn, is the sign of balance. Represented by the scales, Libras are obsessed with symmetry and equilibrium. You and he have been things to each other through the years; enemies, rivals, competitors, dare we now say friends?, yet through it all he has always remained your one true equal. It takes everything in you not to laugh out loud when you both set the exact same time as you battle to secure pole position. Sixteen days may have separated your births but it seems that when you race each other, nothing can keep you apart. Not that you mind now, now that you are both are grown and have grown past the petty squabbles of adolescence, now that you understand that you'll never race anybody the way you are able to race him. You have come to love the way you can battle each other and cannot help but crave the high that comes as you race each other to the very limit and push your cars beyond what their creators thought possible.

You're not quite sure if you believe in fate but you do feel as though that the universe likes to point and laugh at you specifically. His name translates to "the greatest rival", which is who he always been to you, he has always been your greatest rival. It's foolish and unrealistic but you can't help but wonder if his mother somehow knew, as she held him for the first time, who he'd eventually become, as if she had any idea that sixteen days later and over 800 kilometers away that other born racer would come into the world and that her baby boy would be his - your - greatest rival. You decide eventually that the universe simply likes its' jokes.

Neither of you have ever done anything by half's. Even when you hated him, you knew he hated you just as much. You share the same convection, the same drive, it's little wonder that you clashed so often as children. Yet, even then, he was the one you wanted to battle, to beat. It somehow mattered more when it came down to the two of you. It still does. Back then you hated being compared to him, just as he hated being compared to you. Ironically now it is you two who are drawing the most comparisons between yourselves. It's only now, now that you've grown, that you both understand and appreciate just how similar you are to each other.

You don't remember meeting for the first time. Sometimes it feels like he just appeared next to you, lining up to take his place on the grid and then never left. You know they'll ask you one day, where did the story start, where did the legendary rivalry begin? You already know your answer. Once there was an incident on a race track called Val d'Argenton. It's an incident immortalized by both of your unique post race debriefs caught on film, it's a story you can't help but smile at when you think of it. Perhaps that was the first time you both saw how similar you were, that you understood that you could push but that he would push back and that you both would do that for however long as was necessary because you both wanted to win so badly. You were both infuriated by each other, he was especially frustrated by you. You wouldn't or couldn't even say goodbye to each other for years. You have to laugh as well when you think back to Austria 2019, your first F1 podium together. This time, it was you who was especially pissed at him. In a fit of anger, you unfollowed him on Instagram and then had to spend the next two hours looking across at him on his private jet as you both flew home. Deep down, perhaps you both are still the kids you used to be. You wonder how your child self or even how the Charles of 2019 would react to the relationship you now have with him, how you not only wave goodbye as you leave the track but how you chat and joke with each other and how you have post race debriefs with each other... You think that they'd probably look at you like you have two heads. Maybe that's a good thing, makes you value how much you've grown more.

Neither of you are old enough to remember the days of Senna and Prost but that's the expectation people have placed on you both for years. Since you were children they have all marked you for greatness. You, the predestined one, while he was the inevitable. You're not one to obsess over the mythos formula one likes to create but, as a Ferrari driver, you cannot help but lose yourself in the story somewhat. Two boys are born sixteen days apart. They meet on a race track as children. They race each other with everything they have. They meet again on a race track, this time they're grown and chasing the glory they could only dream of as children. They'll spend their whole lives racing each other, if they can. You don't seem to mind that perhaps it's a comfort, to have at least one constant in your life. You've never known the world without him in it, you hope you never do.

[anachronistic-falsehood]

grabbing you by the shoulders and looking you dead in the eyes. squole. they're nature spirits. nymphs or some shit. no one can see them but each other. each nymph has an area that's theirs, and they can't leave their area, or at least not go far out of it. as long as living things reside in their area and put it to use, the nymph stays alive, so ofc they get worried when a player wants to build in their area. they're destroying plants and driving away wildlife, which is the nymph's main life source!!!! many have died or come close to it from builders clearing out the area and then abandoning their projects.

the nymph around felps' square was wary, of course, when felps showed up to start digging, but when felps declared that this would be a long project he would do entirely by hand, she was delighted. this would be a passion project, it seemed, and he wasn't closing off the area, so of course bugs and animals could still pass through or make their homes in her walls, and felps lived in the hole he dug, dedicated to making it his home. she enjoyed sitting on the walls and watching him endlessly pick out stone with his pickaxe. some other nearby nymphs didn't approve of the eyesore they thought her land had become, but she cherished it for the work her builder put in.

and then, all of a sudden, from across the wall, one day she hears a voice. a panicked, frantic voice, yelling.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU'RE DIGGING UP MY LAND! STOP, YOU'RE GOING TO KILL ME!"

She peeks over the wall, which is about as far as she can stray from her square, and sees a nymph on the verge of tears, watching a young man tear away at the ground with some insane machine. It clears immense amounts of land, far faster than Felps could ever dare to dream of.

She watches the nymph panic for a few moments, then cups her hands around her mouth to yell back.

"Hey! Are you okay?"

The nymph looks up at her, tears streaming down her handsome face. In a flash, she's up on the wall as well, crying in front of her fellow nymph.

"He's tearing up my land! All the trees, the grass, everything! I can't live like this!"

The nymph of the square looks down. Yeah, he really is ripping up everything. The land has been reduced to stone within a matter of minutes, and it just keeps going. The guy is probably clinically insane.

"There's going to be nothing left," the nymph of the new hole sobs.

The nymph of the square glances back at her own hole, unfinished but still impressive. She points at it. "Well, there's my land, and I'm still here."

The nymph of the hole sniffles. She leans forward to stare, wiping tears from her eyes. "Wh... it's just a pit. How...?"

The nymph of the square shrugs, giving her fellow nature spirit a reassuring smile. "My builder spends a lot of time there with his family. It's his home. That's why I'm still here. Do you know what yours is planning to do?"

The nymph of the hole glances back at her own landscape. She keeps her arms crossed, almost like she's hugging herself. "I don't know. I think he wants to make some machines or something?"

"Then he should be there pretty often, shouldn't he? I think you'll be okay."

The nymph's face screws up as if she's about to start crying again. "But it's uglyyyyyyy," she whines, almost childish.

The other nymph smiles. "I don't know, I think there's something cool about yours going down to bedrock." She walks backwards, towards her own side of the wall. "Besides, I rather like the look of your stone walls."

She catches just the faintest glimpse of a green blush on her fellow nymph's face just before she hops off the wall and heads back to Felps' Square.

She's gotten tired of being the only nymph with an "undesirable" build on her land. The one who houses Cellbit's castle is nearly unbearable in her superiority, the potato farm on the wall itself is typically very self-righteous, and her neighbor, the Favela, while usually quite chill, loves to brag about how loved and well-used her land is.

This nymph with the new hole? One that goes down to bedrock, no less?

She's looking forward to seeing how people react now that there are two of them.

Ep 6 of 23.5 came out about a week ago and I think there's supposed to be 12 eps in total, so we're about halfway through the series, whoo!

So if that's the case, why are over 60% of the fics in the 23.5 tag on ao3 all about characters that don't even exist in the show? 😭😭

Am I missing something here? From my very limited knowledge of the show's making, North and Night were supposed to characters in the show but they were cut at some point (I think? I could be mistaken). So what are these North/Night fics (that are nearly a hundred in number) even based on? Were North and Night characters in whatever source material the show is based on (in that case, maybe they should be in a separate '23.5 (The Novel)' tag or something instead of the show's tag)? Are these fics amalgamations of Gemini and Fourth's characters in other shows? Are they based on nothing at all except whatever the author decided to write about? Which is fine, but I'm just baffled at how these characters, who don't even exist in the show, make up over half its tag.

I mean, I have nothing against the existence of these fics but it's just very ??? to have them take over the entire tag of the show.

#I feel like surely there should be a more appropriate tag for them? #because they don't feel like fanfiction of 23.5 to me #more like GeminiFourth fanfiction of the 23.5 AU flavour. #what am I missing here #because I'm trying to be neutral about this and genuinely understand where these fics are coming from #but ngl my knee-jerk reaction is one of annoyance at seeing a gl get overshadowed by them when they're not even in the show #but that's just my personal grumpy feeling and i'm not trying to pretend that it's the right slash unbiased opinion #I understand that people can be fond of characters that got cut from the show and I'm not saying these fics shouldn't be written #but personally i'd rather there be a distinct tag for them instead of the show's tag. #but also. that's why filters exist I suppose. #also yes I know the official name of the show is just 23.5 on yt #but I WILL keep tagging it 23.5 degrees #23.5 degrees #placeholder tag #if I weren't following the show I'd be amused by this situation and how a fandom can get latched onto things that end up on the cutting flo #and probably compare it to how there are many deleted songs from musicals that I adore #huh okay I just went back to check and most of the north/night fics were written before the show started airing #that's interesting. they seemed to have slowed down since the official show came out

Not to talk about MRA-lite spaces again but I'm going to need everyone to understand that in these spaces, the subtext of 'men don't get to talk about their problems' is ALWAYS 'and it is women's fault!'

#my time in the MRA-lite saltmines returns to me yet again whenever i see the transandrophobia side of tumblr #look- it's just the same stuff ok? Or maybe i'm just biased because it triggers me the fucking same no matter who is saying it #also please note i'm saying MRA-lite and not MRA- I understand that MRA usually has connotations of violence for people #MRA-lite is nothing like that it's just a load of talking about men's issues but without any of the context #the very important context that you need to place the issues into wider society and its effect on everyone and not just men #these spaces may not be violent but they are quite pointless and the conversations never ever go anywhere #and it's been the same like 5 conversations for the past 15 years and no doubt much longer but that's as far back as i go with it #every time someone discovers the 5 or so men's issue they act like they just converted to a religion or something #and bring it up in everything. I was like that too at like 21 i promise i get it! but now i look back and CRINGE #and i am a guy now! ok? I get it that a lot of people are transmasc doing this i get why! but..... #i just wish it was less of a Thing. and i genuinely find it triggering. #because i do fucking care ok? i have academic books about some of the 5 or so men's issues on my bookshelf! #because actually there are people writing these books and they do care! #i had someone a while ago saying it was 'sad' to see a trans man talk like i do on this so i explained where i'm coming from #and they never came back so i will never know if they saw my point of view and that kind of sucked #hopefully that won't happen again- i really don't like arguing with other transmasc people (i like discussions though) #anyway i'll stop rambling now

I was just thinking about the kids and pain tolerance

Because, on the one hand you've got Constance, who, in addition to being sensitive in preternaturally specific ways, is a little kid. And then probably you've got Sticky, who hasn't done many adventurous things in his life previously, and so probably doesn't have a lot of experience with being injured. And then either Reynie or Kate, depending.

But, on the other hand, just because they have or haven't experienced pain doesn't mean they wouldn't have a high tolerance. Some people just aren't as sensitive to it, while others may be pushed to nausea from something relatively simple.

Kate likely inherited a stupidly high pain tolerance from Milligan, but even if she didn't, she probably has the willpower to throw up in a corner and push herself to keep going until she passed out. And, with Milligan as an example, I'm sure her concept of pain levels is terribly skewed anyway. She'd decide she was being silly and make herself do something stupid like walk on a broken leg because it's "what Milligan would do".

Reynie probably gets more upset about the emotional pain than the physical. I can see him adjusting and moving on, barely realising there's cause for concern unless his bones are actively coming out of him. He probably got used to some things, since he didn't have a lot of careful adults to set a standard by. Meanwhile, he's going to quietly break down in tears at the idea that someone hates him enough to hurt him as soon as he's out of danger.

Sticky, again, hasn't really had a chance to see what his tolerance would be aside from general getting sick stuff. So, he could either be normal (Though I imagine he'd cause himself massive amounts of anxiety over infections or debilitating consequences caused by aggravating an injury), or he could randomly be the most stoic out of all of them. Kid gets stabbed and goes "Oh well, pain is just in the mind" and keeps going.

Constance is always dealing with so much on a mental/emotional level I'd guess it wouldn't take much physical pain to push her over the edge. However, she could also be one of those people who complains over silly, inconveniencing ailments but can and will buckle down and work through something really serious. They'd know when she was really not doing okay because she suddenly stops whining and does everything necessary with scarily silent efficiency.

#Pain tolerance is fascinating to me #Because some of my immediate family members have really high thresholds #But others are quite low and will genuinely get nauseous on top of whatever pain they're already going through #Other than that I don't really know where this came from #Sorry for being really angsty out of the blue #the mysterious benedict society #mbs #kate wetherall #reynie muldoon #sticky washington #constance contraire
