happy vettonso day!!!! I am smooching you back (also I imagine this must be similar to the ref you made that won't see the light of day)
Tumblr media
and never apologize for rambling in tags!! I love them every time!! you are so right, fernando's answer is so much more loaded and he gives the game away in the process 😭 seb is so sure of himself, he just speaks his insane mind. COMPLETE? so...he's all you need then? 😏 heh! he was sooooo proud of that answer too.
fernando is obsessed with winning the encounter (I just counted, it took him 6 whole seconds to respond lmao) and seb's just like ??? could you just be for real for once 😒...but also maybe be my friend 🥺??? hahaha. thank you for peddling them, I love them so much
Happy (late) Vettonso day to you again!!!(also yes you are right, it is similar LOL. I'd post it but it makes me feel like a Larry shipper.)
You put it so well!! It's just such a key difference in them. Lmao I am about to read into this so hard, I'm normal I swear. I'm sure they both had answers instantly, but have completely different approachs. Seb, as you said, is so sure of himself! He lays all of his cards out instantly because it really is not that deep to him. Complimenting Fernando this one time is not going to have any negative affect, and he does not really see it as a game. The way he says it so quick, in addition to it already being a pretty good compliment, makes it more meaningful. It feels so honest, and like you said, is a friendly gesture. Maybe Fernando will be genuine too if Seb extends the olive branch?
Meanwhile Fernando has to think about it for six seconds, and you would think that time allowance would make his compliment more meaningful but NOPE. As you said, he has to win, but instead imo he comes off looking worse. You can just read into his answer so much more. Does he genuinely think Seb is fast? Did he want to say something else? Would that something else be more negative or more positive? Also "fast" is such a loaded answer imo in this sport; like it seems like such a non-answer at first. He had to think for six seconds, and imo was trying to think of an answer that would both: not compliment Seb too hard but not look like he's not trying(because he wants to win y'know.) But then it ends up with him basically bitterly admitting Seb is genuine compeition to him. I think if he didn't feel threatened by Seb, he would've answered instantly. He tries to keep his cards to his chest, but it's like he tripped and they all fell onto the floor face-up in front of him.
Fernando is NOT winning the idgaf war. I just find it funny that both of them are pretty terrible hiding their true emotion, but the way Fernando goes about it makes it explode in his face. So in his attempt to win the interaction at any cost, he just trips and lets Seb win by being too much a tryhard LOL. But I really love it about both of them. Seb isn't afraid to compliment and as I said, Fernando's avoidance in itself is a compliment(bcs it shows he sees Seb as a legitimate contender.) Your tag about Seb being passive agressive saying "Oh." is so real haha. He does not understand Fernando's evasiveness at all bcs this is really no big deal. And meanwhile Fernando doesn't understand Seb's openess at all; doesn't he understand the game??? Why isn't he playing along???

thank you for tagging me @cheolism <33
this will get put under a 'read more' after the first parts because this is going to be a bit long. thanks again for the tag jupie <333
taglist: @dalkyeom @seokmins @vcrnons and anyone else who wants to do it! no pressure <3
who is your favorite group(s)?
seventeen, tomorrow x together, and stray kids!
when did you discover them?
seventeen: november 2021 txt: ~april 2022 (<- does not fully remember) stray kids: august 2023
which member sparked your interest?
seventeen: hoshi! his insane energy and bright personality got me first, but then i saw the rest of his skills and got super impressed txt: hueningkai! he's just really soft and squishy and as an avid plushie collector myself i respect him so much stray kids: felix! he's adorable. he's got the freckles. he's a memelord. his voice is at the bottom of the ocean. come on.
who was your first bias?
seventeen: scoups! i loved his energy so much and also he's just super cool. well, now i know he's also a massive bbg but he still resides fondly in my heart txt: yeonjun! well, once you get past the massive denial phase i had over him. i'm pretty sure i was going 'ohi like them all equally!' and then vehemently deny any and all feelings i had for him. oops. i gave up on fighting it though stray kids: chan! i got exposed to meme videos of him first so there was no chance of me not liking him. he's cute, he's goofy, he gets bullied by everyone else as the long suffering dad/leader of the group, it's great
who is your current bias?
seventeen: vernon! he is also my brand for this blog. no one has me more down bad-atrocious-abysmal-astronomical for just some dude than he does. he's a walking meme. his expressions are either at 0 or 100 and i swear there's no in between. he casually does the most random things possible and is completely unbothered by it. he's winning the idgaf war. his fashion sense is questionable and his selfie skills are nonexistent. i love him anyways. i am fondly looking at the photocard i have of him on my desk. there's something wrong with me but at least i'm funny about it txt: still yeonjun. the denial phase over him has unfortunately massively endeared me to him. he's silly, he's cute, he's endearing, his forays into fashion are interesting to me. (looks at the croc boots he wore once) (the squidward walking noises he made while wearing them really sells it ngl) stray kids: also still chan. he's a dork!!! he's silly!!!! he's so so kind it makes my heart ache sometimes. he's also jacked but what's bigger than his boobs butt arms? his heart. at the end of the day he's a silly goose no matter what he does
why are they your current bias?
oh i monologued too hard about my beloveds and answered the this question in the last one. oops. time to add even more seventeen: vernon's just absolutely hilarious. he's a walking meme machine. his expressions are insane when he's not being an unbothered king. the way he laughs is so silly!! i love it!!! he has a really unique perspective on the world that i really appreciate. i wish i could be a chill about things as he is. txt: yeonjun is so sweet and silly but he's also really kind too. i appreciate his humility a lot because he didn't let his natural talents make him complacent. i'm only slightly emotional about the fact that his mom calls him her healing </3 like that's so cute what stray kids: once again!! silly! goofy! incredibly kind!!! massive dork!!! at the end of the day he's just a silly goose!!! but also everything he does just blows me away, what can't he do besides eat spicy food and not get bullied by the rest of the group?
who is your bias wrecker?
seventeen: considering that vernon is my ultimate bias, i surprisingly have no bias wreckers for svt specifically. though hoshi is a somewhat close second txt: taehyun! the feelings i have for him o(-< stray kids: HAN JISUNG. WHY WON'T HE LET ME LIVE. i'm hopelessly enamored with a squishy little guy who's so incredibly committed to the bit. call him the bit the way i'm committed to h-
which member are you currently obsessing over that's not your bias/bias wrecker?
seventeen: i'm back at it again with having dino feelings txt: hyuka!!! he's just so so cute stray kids: i'm still trying to figure out how felix is an actual person. he's so cute but his voice is so ??????
what are some of your favorite songs?
hardest question for this entire thing ngl seventeen: super, fire, lean on me, a-teen, back 2 back, fallin' flower, ash, i wish, fear, home;run, and lilili yabbay! txt: anti-romantic, 0x1=love song, loser=lover, growing pain, our summer, blue hour, we lost the summer, devil by the window, sugar riush ride, and fairy of shampoo! stray kids: chronosaurus is my #1 most played song is this anything. but also lalalala, red lights, freeze, venom, maniac, s-class, get lit, cheese, secret secret, easy, back door, leave, silent cry, and super board!
have you ever been to one of their concerts?
seventeen: be the sun- august, 2022 txt: act: sweet mirage- may, 2023 stray kids: not yet :(

Favorite headcanon for every ghoul! Go!
goood question
my fav hc for dew is actually my voice claim for him or his eyes (he is partially blind in one of them due to his transition)
for swiss, it’s that he has a big ass family. two moms, his dad, plenty of siblings and nieces and nephews. he’s the middle child and he’s very very big on family, it’s why he’s so affectionate with his pack.
when mountain isn’t drumming, he has a huge passion for piercing/tattooing. he’s p much covered head to toe in body art and has a back piece with plants that symbolize each member of his pack.
rain is def bioluminescence. i was a massive godzilla kid and i’m a huge fan of the way they use bioluminescence in his more recent adaptations and it’s p much where i got the idea from. he uses it as an intimidation display sometimes
aurora also has a similar thing w bioluminescence but hers has more to do with light reflection rather than something like rains, who radiates light from his body. ykwim? her horns and skin are iridescent as well.
i don’t have like. anything for phantom but i like the single white hair streak. reminds me of a darker time in my life…..(if u get it u get it)
cirrus would probably just be my hc that she’s the alpha. they hate to see a bad bitch telling everyone what to do. she’s my silly rabbit but she runs this band like it’s the navy. she loves her ghouls very very much and her and dew are kind of co leaders of the pack they have a warrior’s bond (bipolar disorder)
cumulus would have to be that she has a big passion for fashion and that she’s the smartest out of all of the ghouls. she’s literally elle woods from legally blonde like
sunny is so scottish to me like she has big red curls and freckles and has the biggest swearing problem out of all of the ghouls she is the embodiment of idgaf she’s winning the idgaf war
aether would have to be that he has a interest in healing magic, not just bc he’s a quintessence ghoul but bc he picked it up during dews transition bc he wanted to help him and it just kinda stuck ya know. he loves helping people and it makes him feel like he’s picking up where omega left off. it gives him purpose.
i don’t have a lot for any that aren’t current ghouls but like. ifrit is alex turner. mist is a wine aunt. zephyr is Old as shit. ivy is the reason mountain got into tattooing and body art and was mountain’s mentor not just for drums, but for that as well. uhhh omega was very into astronomy and space in general. and alpha had a problem with accidentally setting his guitar strings on fire when he first was summoned (he just got too excited u guys…)
i def have a lot more for each of these fuckers but i’m sick rn and my brain is making microwave noises i cant think of shit

Idgaf lmao
Exo has been shading BTS when they began took over SK. Guess what? At year shows its Jimim and 4th gen winning awards. While exo and soloists will sit there with a hanging mouth like they always do.
Also not them getting brave shading bts when they are not paid by company and can get blacklisted if legal fights goes on.
Tumblr media
This is all in regards to this post:
Hi anon,
Yeeeeah. The audacity, I swear. But again, we shouldn't be surprised.
If EXO really wanted to do better than BTS then they should have just been better. I tried getting into EXO and their songs were boring. I tried so hard. And it's one thing for fans to fight each other, but a band shading another band is pathetic. Back in 2016 and now. And freakin Kai should just not even talk if we start comparing his solo and Jimin's.
Army is just as bad as exo-ls, though. All the people in the fan wars are horrible. So I can't agree there. But here I go throwing shade at army twitter...lol
Thanks for sharing!

Lights Out
Dean Winchester x Reader
Warnings: cursing, Y/N and Dean acting like utter children, some minor injuries.
Summary: When the power cuts out in the bunker, Y/N devises a plan on how to pass the time. (Consider this a crack!fic)
A/n: for once, I wrote something fluffy and not full of angst. Arnt y’all proud of me? Anyways I hope you enjoy and feedback is greatly appreciated! ( Also this is a hot mess, and definitely not my best piece  but idgaf.)
Tumblr media
It was one of those rare Saturday nights. One of the few times where no one was working a case, and the residents of the bunker were practically free to do whatever they wished. Sam had taken Eileen out for the night, Dean was probably having a horror movie marathon on the TV in Sams room, and you were curled up in one of the massive chairs in the library, nose deep in a book you had bought months ago, determined to finish it.
But like so many times before, it was as if the universe saw you with your guard down and decided to spice it up a little bit.
Just as you were beginning the final chapter, the power shut off. All the fucking power just shut off, drowning you in darkness as the bunker became eerily silent.
You half expected the warning lights to flash on, igniting the room in a deep red hue, but it never came, meaning the power shutting off was from a purely normal cause and nothing supernatural.
“Are you fucking kidding me?!” There was a shout from down the hallway, and you couldn’t help the grin that crossed your face.
Dropping your book down on your seat, you stood up, naturally moving across the room. You had lived in the underground palace long enough to know where everything was, which made maneuvering through the dark that much easier.
But apparently Dean hadn’t gotten any better, because as you rounded the corner towards your room, you slammed into a solid wall of muscle, and then tripped, collapsing onto the harsh tile floor. Dean going down with you.
The hunter let out a sigh, “Ow. You could have given me a warning.” Dean groaned, untangling his body from yours as he tried to sit up. Even if he squinted, he still couldn’t see shit.
“Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t see you there.” You joked, voice thick with sarcasm, as your hands flew out to find the wall. Unfortunately they did not meet the intended destination. There was another yell from Dean, and you recoiled.
“First you trip me and make me fall, and now you’re slapping me?! What the hell did I do to you?” He exclaimed.
Pushing yourself up from the ground, you sucked in a breath, “I’m so sorry! I swear I didn’t mean-“
You shouldn’t have been waving your hands around because one of them came into sharp contact with Deans jaw, sending the hunter stumbling back in the dark, clutching his face.
“Ow! What the fuck?!”
“Oh God, I did it again! I’m sorry, I so so sorry!”
This was just going downhill at an alarming speed. You needed to fix this, and quick. Before you accidentally found a way to kill Dean.
“I think I have some flashlights in my room.” You breathed, trying to calm yourself.
“Good idea. I’m right behind you.”
But he wasn’t.
As you took a step forward, the two of you slammed together again, Dean hitting his nose against your forehead with an alarming amount of force as yours connected with his chin. You both let out another yell, followed by a couple groans as you nursed the bridge of your nose.
“Oh god, oh fuck. This is a train wreck.” You mumbled, suddenly desperate for the light the bunker was currently lacking.
“Good god, woman. Your sense of direction is terrible!” Dean breathed, “here, c’mon.” His hand shooting out to find yours, only to hit something else, (that was most definitely not a hand.)
A puff of air escaped your lips as you gasped, doubling over in pain “Dean, did you just punch me in the boob?”
“I swear I didn’t mean to. I was trying to grab on to your hand.”
“Well, you almost grabbed something else. You do that again and I’ll kill you.” Bringing your arm back, you threw a punch in the general direction of his arm, finally hitting your intending target for the first time that night as your knuckles connected with his bicep.
“Alright, alright. I’m sorry. Can we just go get those lights you were talking about?”
“Yeah, that would probably be a good idea.” You nodded, sliding your hand down Dean arm and tangling his fingers with yours. A rush of heat went up your body and you were glad the lights were out so Dean couldn’t see the blush on your face.
What you didn’t know was that Dean was glancing down in the direction of your intertwined hands, suddenly surprised by your action but not daring to let go.
“Also, my room is in the other direction, Dumb ass. You’re the one who needs to work on their sense of direction.” You quipped, pulling Dean through the dark with ease as you navigated the corridors towards your room.
Dean ended up sitting on your bed patiently as you dig through the drawers of your desk, waiting in almost complete silence. Almost.
“Are you humming Metallica?” You mused, haphazardly discarding a pile of folders on the floor as you continued to search for the object you needed.
“. . . Yes. Don’t judge, I don’t really have anything else to do at the moment.”
“Aw, poor baby.” You teased, throwing another folder over your shoulder.
“Shut up. I was on the last five minutes of the movie when the power shut off. I’m a little bitter.”
“Oh, whatever shall you do Dean Winchester?”
Dean purses his lips, twiddling with his thumbs as he continued to wait, “Your obnoxious, you know that?”
“Yes, but you love me, so quit your whining.”
There was another thud from across the room before you let out laugh, finally producing what you had been looking for.
“Bingo!”
“You find something?”
There was a small series of cracks from where you knelt, and then your face was illuminated with a neon glow, giving off enough light to show Dean your proud grin.
“I thought you said you had flashlights.”
Crossing the room, you dumped a collection of glow sticks into Deans lap, giving him any array of colors.
“Yeah, well I lied. Plus, these are so much more fun.” You shrugged, pulling open the door to your closet as you went in search of the next item on your list.
“But why do you just have glow sticks lying around?” He questioned, flipping a bright pink one in his hand as he looked over at you.
“I was at the dollar store. It was a box of fifty. I couldn’t just walk away.”
“You’re so goddamn weird.”
Looking over your shoulder, you shot the older Winchester another grin, dragging an old cardboard box out from the depths of your closet.
“Watcha got there?”
“Well, seeing as we don’t know when the power will come back on, I thought we could do something to pass the time.” Throwing the box onto the bed, you snatched one of the glow sticks from Dean, flipping open the lid.
“Oh?”
You hummed a response as you tilted the box in Deans direction, allowing him to peer at the contents.
“Are. . . Are those nerf guns?” An amused smile taking up his face as he reached over to grab one of the harmless weapons.
“Yes. Yes they are. What do you say we have a nerf gun battle in the middle of a power outage?”
*. *. *. *. *.
“Why the hell are all the lights out?” Sam yelled, taking cautious steps down the bunkers stairs, quickly flicking on the flashlight on his phone as he and Eileen slowly entered the war room.
The power was never shut off like this in the bunker. Ever. There was always at least one light on, even when nobody was home.
“Guys?”
Suddenly there was a soft whistle as something shot past Sams ear, hitting the wall behind him with a light tap before landing on the floor almost silently.
“What the fu-“
“Sammy? That you?”
“Yeah Dean. Want to tell me what exactly is going on?” Sam questioned, walking across the war room towards the electrical box and flipping it open. There was a series of clicks and just like that, the power flickered back on, illuminating every inch of the bunker.
Dean stood at the bottom of the library step, a bright orange nerf gun clutched in his hand, and a couple of glow sticks tucked into his belt loops. Beyond that, the floor was littered with foam darts and even more of the neon glowing objects. It looked like some party enhanced battlefield.
“Dean, what the hell happened?” Sam spun, eyes taking in the state of the bunker.
The hunter opened his mouth to answer but was cut short when he saw you step out of the doorway behind Sam. Without hesitation the two of you were raising your weapons in unison, firing at each other. Quickly stepping out of the way, Sam and Eileen watched with surprised eyes.
Your aim was perfect as the dart whistled past the confused duo, hitting Deans forehead dead center. His was a little more off and you paid the price as his shot hit you in the throat, making you free hand fly up to your throat as you coughed, eyes wide with surprise.
“Oh god, Y/N I’m so sorry.” Dean dropped his gun, taking quick steps towards you.
“I’m fine. I’m fine.” You waved him off, stooping down to pick up the dart, “but I did win.”
When you popped back up, your eyes widened along with Dean, finally getting a thorough look at each others face.
“Oh my god.” The two of you speaking again in unison. Dean had a small cut on his lower lip, along with a red welt just beneath his eye, no doubt from your hand when you accidentally hit him. As for you, you had a bruise across the bridge of your nose and a tiny cut on your chin indicting that he had slammed into you much harder than he originally thought.
“Did I do that? I’m so sorry, Dee.” You stepped forward, thumb lightly grazing over his busted lip. God, you were a hot mess, and Deans beautiful face had paid the price.
“Hey, hey it’s fine. I should be the one apologizing.”
“Oh, and why is that?”
“Because I should have watched where I was going.” He smiled.
*. *. *. *. *.
Digging through the freezer in the kitchen, Dean produced a bag of frozen vegetables, wrapping it in on old dish towel before walking back over towards you. He still felt guilty for accidentally plowing into you earlier, and it made his insides churn.
“I could have gone and gotten ice myself.” You sighed, Dean sinking down in the seat next to you and pressing the bag softly to the bridge of your nose.
“I know. But it’s the least I could do. I did punch you in the boob earlier, and slammed into you . . Which I am sorry about by the way.”
“It’s okay. It happens.” You chuckled, moving to press your hand on top of Deans, holding the bag in place. There was a small stretch of sudden silence as the two of you got lost in thought, eyes softly locked on to one another.
“I had a lot of fun with you tonight. I haven’t had that much fun in a long time.”
“Me neither.”
Though your face was partially covered by a bag of frozen vegetables , Dean could see how bright your eyes were. You still looked so happy despite being slightly battered by him.
God, he felt like a little kid with a crush. This was so weird.
“Dean?”
“Hmm?”
“why are looking at me like that?” You slowly questioned, lowering the bag of veggies from your face.
oh god, had he been staring again? Damn it.
“Oh, uh. . . You’re just really pretty that’s all.” He stuttered, suddenly fidgeting in his seat, the words practically falling out of his mouth. He couldn't contain them anymore.
That got you to fall silent. And you definitely couldn’t stop the scarlet tone your face was taking. Dean thought you were pretty? The Dean Winchester thought you were pretty?”
“I’m really not, but thanks?”
“But you are.” Dean spoke, eyes never wavering from you as he tilted his head. And then, a sudden as the light coming back on earlier, he was leaning forward and capturing your lips against his. It came out of nowhere and sucked all the breath from your lungs.
And You froze. You don’t mean to, but you froze, which only made Dean pull back, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have-“
“Shut up.” You sighed, grabbing hold of the collar of his flannel and tugging him back to you and firmly planting your lips on his.
This time you kissed him. This time you were prepared. This time it was perfect.
“Are you trying to tell me you like me?” You mumbled against his lips.
“Yeah, I think I am.”
Sometimes it takes a few tries, but eventually what’s meant to happen always finds a way.
The End.

berrysphase replied to your post “valaraukars replied to your post “AU maeglin in mithrim with grandad...”
I'm sideeyeing myself here for sounding so "MY PET THEORY" when my whole point was there's actually a whole bunch of ways to explain Earendil not getting the Kingship and some of them can leave Maeglin the legitimate heir -- lol sorry (Assuming Gil is Orodreth's, that is, I always do too!) I figure the relative Sindarin comfort with powerful women has a lot to do with Melian, but it turns out I could go on and add screenfuls about Elwe's special status
and king's choice etc etc so uh I'll spare you... Also surely this attitude has a lot to do with why Galadriel married a Sinda.
Elves arguing inheritance politics is my catnip but it's also a bit brain-breaking -- I mean here are these immortal beings arguing about different interpretations of inheritance law when inheritance was just invented out of whole cloth so recently, you get to blatant rationalization s and bad philosophical arguments so fast
No no, it certainly can be done but you’re right, I forgot about Earendil during my analysis. Gil as Orodreth has always made sense to me, especially with how small a player he is until after the War of Wrath. God, the Galadriel-Marries-A-Sinda thing is an excellent point. I tend to skim over the more overtly patriarchal crap in the text (and in my fic, unless I’m making a point) but it explains an awful lot about why such an ambitious woman would spend so much time away from the action - she has vastly more of a say in governance etc. in Doriath than she would have in her own peoples’ lands - and of course she’d marry a Sinda, this is great. 
God, yes, how did the issue of who would inherit Finwe’s crown break society when the issue was, as far as anyone knew, entirely academic? (because it was really a question of who daddy loved more :()
psychopompious replied to your post “valaraukars replied to your post “AU maeglin in mithrim with grandad...”
"and she's his great aunt" you say that like it would be a problem for him. that's only 4th degree consanguinity, same as first cousins!
also re: Celeborn's relation to Thingol, I think in that version it's through the schrodinger's cat brother (aka Elmo) but I'd have to dig up that lovely chart of Doriath's long line of cousin marriages to check
.......okay fuck, you’re right. Maeglin would. 
If that’s the case then I suppose I owe Tolkien an apology. But he’s dead and also we have no idea what happened to Lalwen so I’m just gonna sit on it. 
vardasvapors replied to your post “Paying attention to those things is not my forte but thank you for...”
I just wanted to mention that this series of prompted au's is like my fave thing in the fandom rn
Thx xx I just wish I could be more varied with them than ‘but then everyone died anyway’

to be fair though, nothing in canon suggests elwing held a position of authority by herself; you can easily assume her position comes from her marriage :/ Though ofc that is not my interpretation/headcanon at all!
re: earendil's ellegibility for high kingship: on the purely legalist side cirdan and co might just be following finrod's logic and taking finarfin's to be the royal line after fingolfin's death, or something? i always assumed that (but then again i def hc gil as oro's son which not many do hahaha)
You: “I don't think Tolkien meant for us to interpret it this way."
Me, an intellectual w. a folder of Silm erotica: "He didn't mean for us to interpret a lot of things this way. But we did."
I.E. Elwing is queen and idgaf what Tolkien wanted. 
I am with you on Gil as Oro’s (AND NOT JUST FOR SHIPPING REASONS OKAY, I HAVE LAYERS), someone pointed out the thematic neatness of the three lines of Finwe’s descendants dying to other elves, to Morgoth, and to Sauron respectively and Gil as an Arafinwean falls neatly into that.

how about they win a decisive enough victory to reclaim *one* silmaril and then morgoth flips and... volcanoes. or something. anyway you could totally contrive an AU where some of the feanorians, i'm saying C&C for kicks, have to fall back to the safety of Doriath in the ensuing chaos with their newly-obtained silmaril (since after all we know a silmaril can get you through the girdle...)
like i'm sorry this is great but i feel like it just needs more terrible decision making from the noldor to be a silm AU >>;
I’m starting to feel bad for Anon, okay? Just like Mandos, even my cold heart can be moved to pity. 
C+C in Doriath would be exquisite tbh, it’s yet another closed system where they can feed on paranoia, claw for power, and Celegorm can get into a creep off with Daeron while Thingol despises them while coveting the jewel and Melian is like ‘for fuck’s sake guys’ but no one listens. At least maybe the dwarves are free of the murder shenanigans this time around!

ok but any au where luthien doesn't dress up as a vampire is a bad end au anyway
Truer words have never been spoken.

this is so wonderfully terrible and perfect, i love the...honesty and simplicity of the things they say, in them talking specifically about their relationship, though the feelings and Maglor's claims about finishing it can map onto much more. Also "I'd like that" JUST KILL ME.
It didn’t kill Mae though, more’s the pity :( Okay but realtalk, thank you <3 I suppose by this point all pretension’s pretty much been stripped away, they’re well past the point where lying to each other or themselves would do any good.

You know who defied the valar? You know who doesn't get any credit? You know who is a character of true depth and nuance, constantly dismissed by an undeserving fandom? Ungoliant
No no Ungoliant, as established, abandoned her children and is a bad mother and thus a bad woman giant spider. Please keep your vile glorification of her off my blog.

You are maddeningly good at feelings that cut to the bone and somehow have this soupcon of humor - 'I'd like that,' said Maedhros wistfully - that makes the feeling go straight through the bone to the marrow
I left off the hurtful swears cause I know you don’t really mean them. Maedhros wishes feelings really worked so literally :(
