#it’s so unhinged and unnecessary for no good reason

[nightswatchdisbandmentera]

Mance = Rhaegar has to be one of the funniest brain dead ASOIAF theories because like, GRRM obviously created Mance and placed him in Jon’s storyline as a father figure so he can be a parallel to Jon’s real dad, Rhaegar. Like it’s so so obvious that these two men are meant to be paralleled due to their association with the protagonist; even Mance’s child is used as a narrative tool meant to inform on Jon’s own birth. And you’d think that ASOIAF stans would recognize that and be like, “huh narrative mirrors that’s cool!” But nooooo we just had to say they’re actually the same person. So by ASOIAF fans’ definition are Jon Snow and Aemon Steelsong the same character? Did Jon actually beat Tyrion to become the time traveling fetus?

#asoiaf #jon snow #mance rayder #rhaegar targaryen #have to say that mance = rhaegar is just that much better than benjen = daario = euron #in terms of insane factor #it’s so unhinged and unnecessary for no good reason #and is one of those theories that perfectly encapsulates how the vast majority of asoiaf stans just be theorizing for the sake of it #which is hilarious considering the vast amounts ot elitism you will encounter on any given day #about how asoiaf is so dark and gritty and not like other girls so asoiaf stans are not like other readers #yeah y’all are not like other readers based on your inability to understand like basic literary tools like ?!??

Fuck it, HH swap AU

Their core personalities and backgrounds stay the same, it's mostly a role switch

Niffty <--> Husker

Angel Dust <--> Vaggie

Alastor <--> Charlie

(the typical for swap AUs, I know,,)

Everyone else stays the same

These r edits bc I was just figuring out their designs for the AU, I'll draw them normally another time (Husker isn't here cuz I can't find a good png of the mf)

In this AU Alastor started the hotel mostly because he randomly thought up the idea once and thought, "that's fucking hilarious, I'm doing that" + a secondary sentimental reason he'd kill me for saying (he got genuinely fully invested in the cause eventually)

He advertised it on his radio show suddenly out of the blue after 7 and a half years of radio (lol) silence. Alastor still owns Husker's and Niffty's souls but they're also obviously friends (or atleast close to it)

Also he can read tarot bc why not :3

Charlie is closer to her dad in this AU and more sheltered, adopting a more aloof, smug, and dangerous persona so sinners take her seriously, she also has a very slight condescending outlook towards sinners but she's at her core still compassionate and still views them as her people and want to protect them to a certain extent, and she still thinks the Exterminations are unnecessary and cruel, but she doesn't feel like she can do much about it since according to Lucifer's stories and discouragement, she knows heaven likely wouldn't listen much if at all, but when she heard of Alastor's little project it resparked hope in her and she decided to invest in it, becoming co-owner and funder for the hotel.

Angel Dust/Anthony never made a deal with Valentino and actually stayed in his family's crime/mafia business for the 1st half of him being in Hell, but his dad is a POS and kicked him out for being gay so he started doing s3x work, and then he met Alastor after he brutalized his harassers one day, and Angel wanted to repay the favor somehow. Alastor seems interested in him so they struck a deal (not a soul deal, just a simple deal) which has Angel/Anthony is under Alastors protection in exchange for Angel/Anthony's loyalty and assistance when needed (which is a rare case so Angel still feels like he owes Alastor). They grow friendly with time, and Alastor offers to have him be patient zero for his redemption project, and he accepted.

Vaggie/Vi is still a fallen exterminstor and still met Charlie the same way she did in the show, but after that they went their separate ways and Vi finds herself making a deal with Velvette. Instead of being a pornstar like Angel in the show, she is an influencer and a rockstar/singer, she does enjoy making music and playing the guitar but Velvette tends to overwork her and make her do things she doesn't really like for views/popularity. Velvette is the nicest to Vi/Vaggie compared to with her other employees (which isn't a very highly set bar tbh) but she also frequently break her boundaries.

Vi met Charlie again during one of her concerts and they got close and started dating. (Also one sided Velvette x Vaggie is sort of slightly maybe canon in this AU bc toxic Yuri is fun (and it's only fully one sided after Charlie and Vaggie/Vi started dating))

She helps manage the hotel when needed, but is honestly only there cause Charlie is.

Not much about Niffty changes tbh (she's perfect the way she is, utterly unhinged 😍) she's just a bit more mellowed out and less hyper (she's still hyper just not all the time like in the show) and she's also a bartender and has surprisingly good taste for alcohol, and also frequently makes borderline poisonous drinks while experimenting, but when she gets it right it's really good. Doesn't stop the others of being terrified of her drinks though

Husker is a more smiley and charming in this AU, using a laid back attitude to put people at ease and more willing to open up to him if they need to (he used to use the information people share as blackmail when he needs to back when he was an Overlord, although he never actually needs to spread anything, just threats), and he's still very observant but he's also slightly more unhinged- He's a sort of butler/cleaner for the hotel

He still gets grumpy time to time, but mostly when he's drunk, which isn't as often anymore ever since Niffty was put in charge of the bar (understandably so)

He has a bit of an anger issue and also gets annoyed easily, and sometimes makes unhinged threats as a sort of joke (they stop being much of a joke once you genuinely piss him off)

He likes things clean and tidy because it helps him pretend to be put together

He and Alastor are a bit friendlier compared to in the show, hes still one of the few people that knows more about Alastor, though hes still bummed about the whole being owned by Alastor thing (Husker can also read tarot to a lesser extent bc Al taught him for funzies and Husker thought it's interesting)

His gambling addiction is also ever so slightly worse

#alastor hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel husk #hazbin angel dust #niffty #hazbin vaggie #swap au #hazbin hotel swap au #velvette mentioned #radiodust #chaggie #Velvette x Vaggie #seriously am i the only one who thought of this ship? #huskerdust #the ship tags are mostly just for reach but at the same time not really #i love them #btw #if u even care #UpsideDown/Swap AU

UNNECESSARY AND UNHINGED RANT ABOUT CINDERELLA'S CHARACTER FROM CINDERELLA (2015) INCOMING

Lemme talk about Cinderella from Cinderella (2015) for a bit actually yeah because these changes to my girl completely baffle me

She has friends now

Goes outside on her own

Says the only reason why she's staying is because it's her parent's house- bruh.

All of this takes away (+ more reasons down the cut) from the true cruelty of OG!Cinderella's backstory and how it all connects so well to inform you of her character and the actions she takes

OG!Cinderella has been indoctrinated into accepting her life as a maid to her step family since she was a small child. She is never seen going outside of the house besides the night at the ball. The only friends she had were random animals around her she couldn't even fully converse with. She had no other human perspective on her situation or how to get out of it. It makes sense why she's just taking her stepmother's tyranny while holding everything in because this isolation and neglect is all she knows. This is the entire limited scope of her world. A sad reality to many cases of abuse in real life.

And they just. Erased all of this for some. Reason???

The night at the ball was a big deal because she literally NEVER gets to go out. This is the only time she interacts with the outside world aside from the ending. The impact of that was HUGE in the original movie. The new one just cheapened that imo by implying she goes out in town and talks to others regularly. This event was an impossible, fantastical dream come true to someone who is never treated as anything but a servant to everyone she knows.

Basically OG!Cinderella has it way worse which is what makes the ball such a huge deal in the first place.

Third point I don't think I need to explain how Cinderella staying in her abusive home bc the house is "hers to love now that her parents are dead" is not a good character change and doesn't make sense. I would understand if her dad was alive and insisting on staying, but he is GONE. It is a building you grew up in sure, but that's all it is. Not something you sacrifice your wellbeing for. So that's a shit reason they didn't need to make up to say why this character is stuck in her abusive household. The isolation and years of gaslighting were enough. (Also showing how much of a frightening presence and manipulative villain Lady Tremaine is.)

And she sure left it quick after getting hitched lol

The Fairy Godmother having the audacity to test Cinderella with that "oh I'm a poor old woman and I want some milk please" nonsense

Not very godmotherly of her in this version. 🥴 The Fairy Godmother appeared in the original to offer pure comfort to Cinderella in a time of desperate need, when this resilient and kind spirit finally reached her breaking point. The dress, slippers, pumpkin carriage, and magic were all given freely as a present to make her feel better at least for one night.

Meanwhile this goofy ass Godmother has the audacity to be like "hey is she gonna be nice or not even though she's crying in tattered, recently destroyed clothing- I need to see that or else she doesn't get the magic juice". Like why did this become a way to test her morality all of a sudden? Why did you need something from her to give up the magic goods?? It's not even a good test she just walked a couple steps and poured some milk in a bowl,,,

Idk man they made their relationship transactional for no reason which taints the original purpose of this scene imo. The original Fairy Godmother already KNEW Cinderella was kind without having to make sure by disguising herself as a rancid old lady. 😭 Weird and unnecessary addition.

Kinda nitpicky here but this film did not at all match the terror of the torn dress scene which really shows you how horrifying and humiliating it was to Cinderella

Comparison

AND THE BIGGEST OFFENDER: THE WAY SHE "ESCAPED".

I NEED TO TAKE A BREATH

BECAUSE LIKE. WHAT WAS THAT.

Original Cinderella, seeing a real chance of escape from her abuse, uses everything in her possession to do so. She's yelling for the mice to get the key, to get Bruno to chase away the cat, running down to meet the prince's attendants to make sure they get the proof of her identity from her- and that moment she oh-so-casually pulled out the second slipper??? SEEING HER STEPMOTHER'S SLACKED JAW??? GAGGED US ALL.

ICONIC

But 2015. Bitch. What is going on. She gets locked up and easily accepts her doom. She just twirls and sings in her prison like a dunce because cINDerELLa wAs aLReADy cONTenT wIth her sMaLL mOMEnts oF hAPPIneSs anD dREamS wItH thE pRinCE.

Just. Gives up.

Not the mice begging her to get up and save herself come on now

The mice have to do their best on their own to push open her window so the prince and his crew hear her on time.

And yeah, all she had to do was open a window.

WHAT. WHY. HOW. WAS THIS??? MORE EMPOWERING???

1950: use your brain to fight to the very end

2015: quit while you're still ahead, or don't try you just gotta dance and sing all pretty then someone will come along and save you

I'm sorry, but for a production that was so critical of the notion of "Cinderella just waited around for a prince to save her"...is that not literally what they changed the ending to?

You wanna talk about lack of agency in princess stories well here you go 😭

You know what's sad about all this in the end is this is still the best recent live action Disney remake imo LOL

Anyways hello if you've made it all the way down here I rest my case

#disney #cinderella #cinderella 2015 #sidrabbles #rant #i like 1950s lady tremain more but i dont dislike this more sympathetic and character driven take on her either #feels different but not bad #prince is 10000x better no complaints from me #but the bar wasn't that high in the first place so congrats i guess??? LOL RLLY THO THE ACTOR KILLED IT ROB STARK YOU GO GIRL

locked tomb characters ranked by how cringe they are

because this post by @wifegideonnav reminded me that they’re all losers, but some are even more losers than the others

Hot Sauce: 1/10. This girl is cool in all possible ways and definitely future lead researcher material. No cringe, zero notes.

Pyrrha: 2/10. By far the least cringe of The Olds. Yes her nicknames for Nona have dad joke energy but she’s very earnest about it and it’s cute.

Juno Zeta: 2/10. Total MILF. Very smart and should know better than to get flirty with We Suffer, but I get it.

Marta Dyas: 3/10. A complete badass with a very sensible outlook on avoiding unnecessary forms. Call me Judith because I would also make a pass at her at the first possible chance.

Commander Wake: 3/10. She made Pyrrha fall in love with her, seduced ever-loyal G1deon into hatefucking and galvanized a dying resistance movement. She was genuinely nice to Gideon those 3 seconds they interacted in passing! Then she had to go and hide under the bed of a mentally ill teenager.

Dulcinea: 4/10. Her horniness for revenge is epic. Let down Pal as nicely as she could and managed to outwit Cytherea when it mattered. Not cringe at all.

Camilla: 4/10. Yes, she could kill you in seconds but she did once sell cigarettes, her most liquid asset, for about a third of their market value.

Alecto: 4/10. Scary eldritch woman-shaped creature with a sword, comes highly recommended by Pyrrha Dve. Loses points for confusing Middle English and thinking John was the best possible Sailor Earth when he was clearly the worst.

G1deon: 5/10. Utterly willing to burn for what he believes in. Yes, he probably needs some perspective but he made sure the baby had enough air before kicking Wake out of the airlock and Matthias Nonius thinks he’s an okay dude.

Pash: 5/10. She has that freedom fighter swag and the cool hair but she is a terrible bodyguard coasting on nepotism, sorry to say.

Palamedes: 6/10. He didn’t clock the serial killer pretending to be his ex because he was too busy going to painfully extreme lengths to avoid interacting with her.

Naberius: 6/10. My controversial opinion is that Babs is the least cringe of the Third House throuple. Yes he looks and acts like a peacock but he puts up with Corona snacking on him for no reason and is still nice to her, and gives Ianthe solid romantic advice.  

Nona: 6/10. Cringe in the unselfconscious way of a young teenager, and put this ability to use making Pal fess up to his nurse kink. She will never be cool but it’s part of her appeal.

Mercymorn: 7/10. Speaks in onomatopoeias. She knows she is insufferable so she’s gonna do her best to make sure to be the most insufferable person in every room. Once called John Gaius “the best man I who ever lived” to his smug face and not even blowing him up later makes up for that.

Ianthe: 7/10. Looks like a wet rat. Hopelessly dramatic but she pulls it off. Declares her love for Harrow at every turn in the most transparent possible way then pretends she’s just being snarky. Some cool points for actually getting shit done

Coronabeth: 7/10. Terrible taste in love interests. Her freedom fighter era was hot but she thinks pompadour hair is a good look? Also, the way she spent her whole life lying about necromancy speaks of extreme conflict avoidance. Cringe move.

Judith: 7/10. She deserved to suffer and has suffered more than she deserves. It’s cringe how she clings to her imperialist brainwashing but she gets a point for rightfully understanding she should be wary of Corona, something Ianthe still can’t even grasp.

Ortus: 7/10. Yes he quotes his own epic poetry WIP at people but he also had to grow up on the Ninth with nothing better to do. Genuinely a very nice guy.

Cytherea: 8/10. Her unhinged vibes are very hot but she killed a couple of nerds and two teenagers instead of anyone who was actually dangerous. Cringe of her!

Silas: 8/10. Smarmy cloud-looking motherfucker. He is a child Pope and I guess he can’t help the inherent cringe of the Eight. But that’s still no excuse for bringing a portrait of John all the way to Canaan House just to hang it in your bedroom, dude.

Gideon: 8/10. Babygirl is a horny virgin with the vocabulary of a nerd. Harrow is bones over tit in love with her and she fails to notice after living in Harrow’s brain for eight months. Gets points for managing to maintain impressive biceps on a diet with no protein.

Augustine: 9/10. Extremely cringe because of how hard he tries to pretend he’s not cringe. Cigarettes on a space station and effectively performing swag don’t make up for how much he clearly wants to suck John’s dick. Which he did at least twice.

Harrow: 10/10. Spent most of her life being mean to Gideon because she was too hot to deal with and lobotomized a coffee shop AU into existence. Thinks Ianthe Tridentarius is beautiful. Once built a bone cocoon to sleep in after not drinking water for two days. Should’ve told God months ago that she just didn’t want to eat his fucking biscuits and stop offering.

John: 10/10. Unfortunately, this scale only goes up to 10 but we all know it’s not enough. Deeply cringe in a myriad of ways, chiefly among them the way he inflicts his barely veiled incest kink on all his friends. That one dad joke was gold, though.

This was getting too long but for the record: Aiglamene is cool and so is Abigail Pent. Magnus is not cool but he’s a fun time. The Terrible Teens are exempt from judgement on account of being 14.

jealousy

il dottore x afab!reader | 1.4k+ words

warnings: 18+ MINOR DNI, use of his (suspected?) real name - i like it so i went with it, jealousy obvi, possessiveness

dottore isn’t one to get jealous, telling himself he’s rather unconcerned about what you do but really it’s all because he’s convinced you aren’t going anywhere, you won’t pick anyone else but him.

of course that’s not entirely false. your love, your captivation, for the doctor was so obvious. he thought he was too busy for love and he’s not one to usually feel such emotions himself, but he didn’t let it go all the same. and if someone was too blind to see your infatuation with him, he wasn’t afraid to remind them, in any way he saw fit, that you were his. though most people did not dare test those waters.

he’d say even when it came to needing to remind someone it didn’t come from jealousy. nooo. he just doesn’t like other people touching his things. even if he seldomly admitted it, the words only spoken when he thought you might leave due to his ‘indifference’ towards you, you are his most prized possession, his little darling.

indifference - he snarls are the word you had used when describing his feelings for you the other night, before he had left you in tears to return to his work. despite how forgein the words are coming from his lips, how little he actually says them, and how unusual and at times annoying the emotion of love feels for him, he does love you.

you normally didn’t complain about not seeing him much or simply hanging out in the lab with him while he worked. didn’t mind your short time together being fucked on a cold metal table in his lab and being left to rest of the couch in his office just to wake up to him immersed deeply in his work with no more time to spare for you. but from time to time you got like this, needy for his attention and upset when you didn’t get it. it’s nothing a good fucking, that you honestly both needed, and a few sweet words couldn’t fix.

at least that’s how it usually was. until today he had yet to actually find the time to give you that and up until this moment it wasn’t particularly on the front of his mind but once that scorching lick of flame caressed his chest at the sight of you cuddled too closely to one of his clones and heard the name you called him as you smiled at him, zandik - a name he went feral for with it came from you, though hearing you call his segment the same makes him snarl in distaste - his day had suddenly become free aside from the plotting of this particular clones newly arranged experiment that he’d put it through after he tended to you and the reminder he’d set for all of his segments to keep their hands off of you.

he has no reason to be jealous of his segments. they are him after all and this isn’t the first time the newer ones have found themselves so close to you. unlike the older ones, who aren’t fond of you for being an ‘unnecessary’ hindrance to the doctors work, a few of them were created along the time his feelings were developing for you and hence held a ‘soft spot’ for you, as the others have put it not so kindly.

dottore has come to accept this ‘soft spot’, though he wouldn’t necessarily call it that. there was nothing soft about how his feeling for you made him unhinged in a way that science could not. it wasn’t explainable by logic, wasn’t attainable by knowledge of the world no matter how much of it he devoured or searched for in his work, and yet he’d kill for it, kill for you.

and there was certainly nothing soft about the way he smiled when he approaches the two of you, greeting you both in a tone that sent your heart into an unsteady beat.

no reason to be jealous, and yet here he was, his breath so hot in the frigid snezhnaya air it looked as though he was a dragon heaving smoke with a wicked smile that held dangerous intentions.

“you may leave now,” a command, not a suggestion to the segment as dottore grabs your chin, his fingers under your jaw while his thumb rests just below your lips.

neither of you pay any mind to the clone leaving the two of you alone. with how dottore holds onto you he demands your attention, you couldn’t get away but it’s not as though you want to. and you.. his eyes focus on your lips, the way your chest rises and falls with quick breaths, the way your cheeks burn with embarrassment and shame. it makes his lips curl upward even more so. he can feel your pulse pick up through the thin leather of his gloves while you stare into his masked face, unable to see his eyes and thus the truth of his possessiveness and the flickering flames behind beneath blue lashes but you’d know of it soon enough.

“dottore-“

“oh?” he interrupts, his face coming impossibly close to yours in a split second. you can feel the heat of his breath on your skin, smell the mint on his tongue and a mix of solutions he uses in the lab that clung to his clothes. “no zandik for me?” every word is condescending, his name said especially so. the aura he radiates, the proximity of his lips to yours, the undivided attention on you, it all leaves you speechless and your heart racing in anticipation. he thinks any sane person would be scared under the intense pressure of authority looming in the air and the deranged emotions spilling from him that he refuses to admit is jealousy. “you’ve got nothing to say, is that it?” he asks when you don't reply. “perhaps you’d like the segment to return and keep you company then.”

“n-no!” you deny far more urgently than you would have liked.

all you’ve wanted was his attention and you were only with his segment because you’d have taken any piece of him just to try to quench a little of your thirst and need for dottore. the one who had been with you all day was one of the more kinder ones to you, created at the time dottore first became smitten with you and the way the clone acted with you in private said as much. you hadn’t minded the segments closeness, it was nice, comforting, a reminder that dottore had actually fallen for you, despite how little he cares to admit it. you hadn’t thought it would make dottore jealous and you hadn’t meant anything by it when you called him by his real name. it was out of habit really and as soon as the word left your lips your heart sunk knowing that it wasn’t the actual zandik you were talking to.

his thumb brushes against your bottom lip and without any thought you part them. he continues to caress your lip, pressing his thumb against you harder by the second. it’s addicting, the way he handles you and you’re unable to hide the whine that you tried so hard to swallow. he had hardly touched you at all and yet you were practically panting in his palm. the pretty noises, your deep breaths heating his lips; they all went straight to his hardening cock. how cute you are, so pliant and desperate for him.

“little minx,” he whispers as he leans in to hopefully finally kiss you. moving his finger, smirking at how your jaw stays slack, he pauses his move to kiss you to add, “it seems they are not the only ones in need of a reminder of who you belong to.”

his lips are so soft and he presses them to yours so gently, a stark contrast from his words and his hold on your chin. but you know this tenderness wouldn’t last, soon his hold on you would match his words perfectly and you’re eager to see what he’ll do then.

“.. you,” is the only word he can make out as you breathlessly try to speak between kisses, your legs pressed together, already so desperate for him, a lovely little detail he doesn’t miss.

“yes, only mine,” he agrees, knowing what you said despite not hearing most of it. his voice is thick and deep, wrapping you in a heat that has your skin burning and your panties soaking in your need for him. “i won’t let any of you forget again.”

[incarnadinedreams]

What do you like about jc?

Oh my goodness what don't I love about him!

Well, first and most importantly, he has a purple lightning whip.

Secondly, you know how the elements of a tasty dish are salt, fat, acid, heat? Well he's salty, he's acidic, he's a spicy Yunmeng boy, and some sources of mixed repute claim he's got a nice fat ass. All the elements for a delicious snack are right there!!! He has the range, the depth, the complexity!

Jokes aside, a lot of it really is just based on vibes. I just... liked him pretty much immediately. My heart was won at "I'm his uncle. Any last words?" and it only got better from there. He's got most of my favorite lines in the book - whether funny or completely heart-wrenching, both directly in his dialog or about him. His sarcastic comments are always hilarious, and he's often enough actually a voice of reason and responsibility (promptly ignored). The vast majority of the time when he's not in some absurdly extreme and traumatic situation he's being pretty normal and seems perfectly likeable to me.

I enjoy that from the start he's mostly pretty practical. One of the first times we see him, he desperately wants to smack Lan Wangji but he's run the cost-benefit analysis in his mind and it's not worth it, so (grumpily) he does not. Some people point out his 'definitely don't start a petty fight unless you know you can win' reasoning as some sort of point of cowardice, but my reaction to that scene was thank god, finally someone in a fantasy novel has some common fucking sense!

Except, of course, on one very specific topic: Wei Wuxian. And then there's like a 50/50 chance all that consideration goes out the window instantly. A little pinch of unhinged obsession adds so much extra flavor! With the amount of overtime he's pulling in sect conferences he deserves a little derangement from time to time, as a treat. And that intensity goes both ways.

That fervent certainty that Wei Wuxian would be back some day, that not even death could hold him - a conviction bordering on madness, except in the end he was right? Hot.

On the other end, he's willing to sacrifice himself for Wei Wuxian and other people who loves over and over and over again throughout the story (even if he's mad about it), until he can't do that without throwing other people he's responsible for under the bus.

To the point that when we get to the big reveal after Guanyin Temple about how he was captured by the Wens... once the shock fades, you step back and think 'wait, why was that even a surprise to me at all?' The guy just took a sword through the chest for Wei Wuxian like an hour earlier (even if it was unnecessary and therefore mostly embarrassing), and was about to run back into that cave at the Second Siege with no spiritual power and a sword he couldn't even lift three days before that, and yet we're surprised he gave himself up back then?

And of course, the same goes for his nephew and I just love them so much. He doesn't hesitate for a moment to offer himself as a hostage instead of Jin Ling at the temple. He may sometimes struggle to express his love in a way that's more palatable than the prickly sharp thing it can sometimes be, but it's undeniably there. When Jin Ling is crying after the Second Siege, it's Jiang Cheng he goes to without hesitation - and that "Who did this to you?!" line, the way he doesn't hesitate to pull him away somewhere private and stick by his side.

Even things that are meant to cast him in a bad light, like his 400 spirit nets fiasco, show him also anxiously helicopter-uncling his way through baby's first "solo" night hunt, complete with undercover agents just in case, is proof that he at least cares very deeply. I think if you look beyond the surface, it's also pretty obvious why he'd spare no expense and use any method to give his bullied nephew the best debut night hunt possible in a society where talent and prestige are incredibly important to his future ability to consolidate power as the Jin heir. He wants to shield him from the same insecurities and pain he felt, especially where being overshadowed was used against him in ways that had specific negative impacts on his ability to protect people he cared about.

Another of the reasons I love him so much is because his grief is so intense that it's palpable. Those scenes post-fall of Lotus Pier where he's oscillating between numbed shock and fury, just... feel so real, and relatable, and resonate in way that's just horribly accurate. It's like his grief jumps off the page, you can feel the hurricane of horror and loss crashing into him. The scene at Nightless City, that moment where he says "Didn't you say that you could control it, that it would be fine?", where the last of his faith in Wei Wuxian shatters and the fracture is complete, like two halves of a whole have finally snapped apart and there's nothing left... I just love the intensity and desperation.

But even more, he keeps going after. He's stubbornly alive, despite it all, and I don't think he gets nearly enough credit for the fact that he's actually able to handle things pretty well, considering the situations involved. He has a breakdown about it and then he picks himself up and gets back to work. He's remarkably resilient, in ways that aren't necessarily flashy or obvious at first. Too much is made out of the ways he's broken or bitter when for the most part he's actually remarkably functional in the face of horrible traumas!

I have been trying very hard not to just spam my favorite quotes in here but this is really my favoritest favorite (from chapter 61) because it just sums him up so beautifully:

... the most laughable one was the YunmengJiang Sect, the people of which either had been killed or had scattered, leaving only Jiang Cheng, who was younger than even Lan XiChen and was still a child born yesterday, who had nobody in his hands but still dared call himself sect leader, holding up the banner of rebellion as he recruited new disciples.

Because he does the hard work, day in and day out. The boring, tedious, constant work - the endless late nights dealing with the constant problems. But he does it, and he mostly accomplishes what he sets out to do.

It's so sad that all the things he does very well get overshadowed by his insecurities, because in the end, hasn't he done incredible things? Hasn't he survived? Hasn't he gone from the youngest sect leader with nothing and nobody that Wen Ruohan could only laugh at, to "No matter which clan you choose to offend, you shouldn't offend the Jiang clan, and no matter which person you choose to offend, you shouldn't offend Jiang Cheng"?

He might be a little scarred, but isn't he succeeding all the same?

(He should probably hire a PR firm to handle the rumors his resting bitch face causes though.)

Izzy was my favorite supporting character in season 1 and I would have thought I'd be super sad about him dying, but by the time the season 2 finale happened I was glad he died because he'd become so unbelievably boring I was just relieved we won't have to waste any more time watching boring good-guy Izzy in season 3. And I'd seen it coming early, because obviously if they redeemed him before the end of the show he'd have to die! The whole reason for him existing was to be an antagonist to Ed and Stede's relationship and they never gave him any personality traits or plot hooks that could have made him worth keeping around in this story once he could no longer fill the antagonist role anymore, just like Con's been saying!

I blame the fandom for ruining Izzy by pressuring Jenkins and the writers to redeem him, because that's what made this inevitable. If we'd gotten an Izzy Gets Worse arc where he just stayed on the trajectory he was on through season 1 to become a full unhinged stalker villain who signed up to be a pirate hunter or something it would have been super fun and really homoerotic and spawned lots of hot villainfucker fic and we could have dug into what motivated his fucked up obsession with Blackbeard and Con would have gotten to chew all this scenery and we could have kept him around right up till the end of the show. Instead we got a guy who stood around giving Ed and Stede totally unnecessary and uninteresting friendly advice for three episodes and then had to die because the show had jettisoned every possible reason to keep him around. I hope the canyon's happy. This is what they asked for.

ive been on the choices app A LOT lately (🫣🫣🫣) & i have some unpopular opinions to share even though literally no one asked for them <3:

- the royal masquerade is SO criminally underrated, it deserves way way wayy more love. and honestly, trm has a way better royal plot & storyline than the entirety of the royal romance.

- speaking of the royal romance, i would choose arthur/artura anyday over liam. they’re based off of very similar archetypes, but for some reason i truly adore them even if i seem to be in the habit of having my mc date the intended love interests’ closest confidants <3

- look, i love immortal desires. no one’s doing it like my girl cas! but especially after replaying bloodbound recently, id simply cannot compare!! bloodbound is a masterpiece, the mc is literally one of the best mcs on the app, the lis are all SO good, the plot is so much more engaging and unhinged….. also rheya as the villian & the whole mc being descended from her blood keeper storyline? yeha that’s history. like sorry to id but you simply cannot compete where you don’t compare.

- the phantom agent is SO underrated it actually makes me so sad 😭 also my bby agent grey people hate them & for WHAT! i literally love them so much they are my precious little angel <3 also the mc? yeah an icon! the whole rowan situation and the drama of it all?!? such a solid book come on now people!

-speaking of lis who get way too much unnecessary hate— loml miss monroe from ms. match! they were SUCH a fun li & the book was such a fun read & honestly monroe is SO justified in being pissed i mean hell i would be so fuckin pissed if i was in their situation?!? anyways yeah i love them also she’s one of the prettiest sprites pb has ever made <3

genuine question: do you guys not think it's incredibly unhealthy to sit online speculating about literal strangers' sexualities all day? do y'all not see how grossly disrespectful that is just as a general concept? these are people none of you have EVER met or spent ANY actual personal time with. they don't know you and therefore have never disclosed details about their romantic life bc it isn't your business??? what gives ANY OF YOU the right to hyper analyze everything they do to attribute it to their sexuality? i'm trying to understand how you all could possibly say you love them but don't have enough respect for any of them to simply be fans of their music and leave this weird ship at the door. y'all hyperanalyze all their body language to confirm they're in love but ignore them mentioning how the comments section is never fun to look at (bc it's ALWAYS just shippers being stupidly unhinged) and the very obvious discomfort the shipping shit brings them. most of you shippers are straight women fetishizing. most of you shippers are larries who jumped ship when 1d disbanded. most of you are grown adults who need to get offline and get real hobbies that don't involve breaking down the potentiality of sexuality for people you literally don't know personally. how do all of you have so much audacity and so much time to think half-critically but no time at all to introspect on the level of sheer delusion you have to willfully exist in to perpetuate this narrative shamelessly? this is so sick. how do y'all not feel awful about all the blatant, obvious, perceivable stress you shippers cause them? why can’t y'all behave like actual people with empathy and ethics?

Hi anon!

You are not sending me a genuine question. If that had been your aim you would’ve worded your ask differently. I also wonder if you send asks like this to blogs and accounts who talk and speculate about their relationships with women.. because if you are not actually being homophobic right now.. that would be the same.

I understand the delicacy in this. Except for the part of tour ask that seems homophobic (and plain rude and extremely biased on many accounts) I can even understand you wanting people to stay out of their private business to some level. You want to protect them from harm and I very much applaud that, even though I think your reasoning is faulty in some ways. It is for instance nothing new or weird for fans to care for and be interested in the private lives of artists. It’s something that the artists themselves and their labels/companies also know and at times even feed into. It’s basically inherent to the fan/artist situation. It’s just human nature to be interested in things like this.. is that bad? I don’t know if a word like bad or good applies here.. it’s just human to me.

You look at all shippers and their ways as the same. I think there’s many different kinds of shippers. There’s definitely those that go way too far. People should never confront members themselves with these things. Don’t go in their comments with Taekook or Jkk mentions. Don’t bring banners to concerts, just.. don’t. Not to blow my own horn.. but I would never! Also the constant searching for proof in the tiniest things… it’s so unnecessary and it makes people look crazy and (!) it takes away from the seriousness that this situation brings with it. Which brings me to my reason for talking about this.

Aside from thinking Tae and Jk are super cute and adorably in love, there’s the underlying issue of queerness still not being socially accepted in so many places all around the world. I think it’s important to talk about these things (even as a straight adult, because the more people talk about these things.. the more influence we have in making things better for the future). If no one was to ever talk about celebrities being closeted or closeting in general.. there would be no progress. I am fairly sure about what I have seen between Tae and Jk.. I am also fairly sure that they are not ashamed about their queerness. That is why I talk about this. I feel I am doing this in a respectful way. There’s things I do not discuss (sexual stuff) because I feel that’s in general not useful for the conversation.

I am not willing to take responsibility for other Tkkrs behavior though. I talk about things for myself and for my own reasons. I like to think everyone is able to think for themselves and be responsible for the way they interact in fandom. I am my own person though.. I do not rile up Tkkrs to go leave annoying comments anywhere.

Mostly though.. I am talking about love, anon. The difference between you and me is that to you them being straight is the default and to me it is not. Your ‘speculation about sexuality’ feels harmful to me.. because it’s love that we talk about.. I really hate the notion that there’s a difference between same sex love and straight love for you.

Nah because I was literally gonna add onto my previous anon (the one about the guest judge) about how I can't recall a pairing ever being like this after the show... even the duo that legit ended up being a couple!! Like obviously it was known they (the duo that actually ended up dating) were dating at some point but I can't really even remember that much from them... I don't think a duo has been this unhinged in Dr*g R*ce history but also like... not?! Like, these two are simultaneously so unhinged with one another but also not at all and are really private whenever they hang out like... I think that's what makes me love their dynamic so much cause I'm just so fucking curious about how/when their friendship developed cause we see bits of it on the show, but in he grand scheme of things, we barely see them actually interact and I'm just UGH good lord I need to put my phone down these two are driving me mad lmao (also, side note, but I just LOVE the absolutely unnecessary cut to Plane looking low-key nervous while Nymph was getting critiqued last week and was waiting to find out if she was the bottom or not like... hmm okay 👀 totally necessary cut.... TOTALLY 👀 and don't get me STARTED ON THE FUCKING CUT OF THEM AFTER 🌅 IMPLIED HAVING CERTAIN TYPES OF DREAMS ABOUT HER FELLOW QUEENS LIKE TRULY WHAT WAS THE REASON?!?!?)

i'm pretty sure the editors caught wind of the rumors these two were fucking & decided to include all of their little moments in the episodes JSJSNSJSJ. 'cause it happens a lot! or maybe it could be an attempt to make plane more likeable for the viewers considering nymph seems to be her soft spot (and it makes sense with the potion!).

i think the way they act around each other is so interesting, they're both out there and private and they kinda feed us two separate narratives that can't be true simultaneously so we have to choose in which we believe. what attracted me to them at first was how they didn't seem to play anything up for the audience, they'd just be together and genuinely enjoy each other as if no one was watching. ever since that we got the tiktok & the tweet of their child amongst other stuff that were more public, yet i still think most of their interactions are very genuine and natural. nymphia has 116 tweets and one of them is a reply to someone saying plane is mean with "but she's my favorite" like 😭

Unnecessary barbie collector rant

I would like to preface this with I know that this is messy and long and slightly unhinged but I am bored and feel like complaining. I would also like to say that I know everyone is free to do what they want with their own possessions and I know this comes off as mean but I don't care this is me being irrational and upset because I can be.

For many Barbie collectors, the made-to-move body is the most incredible thing in the world. So much so, that every doll in their collections must be systematically decapitated and given a new head. This is, in my opinion, one of the most annoying and pervasive issues in the collector community. Many people claim "It's for Photography" or "I just like to pose my dolls". Literally, shut the fuck up I hate that so much. I can understand re-bodying a damaged doll or only doing it to a couple dolls, but not every single doll needs to be able to touch its face. Like most of you, bitches are super shitty at photography anyways and I know for a fact there are only so many poses that you can make the doll do. Is it just me? Like I get it they're mass produced play things and it's not that serious but like also it is.

Do you remember tree change dolls and how everyone was pissed at that lady? That's the same way I feel about the people who make every doll made to move. Like first off, the made-to-move bodies that exist are all modern body sculpts so it is so weird when people re-body vintage and older dolls because like the clothes made for that body won't fit properly or at all anymore. Like I'm not even a die-hard preservationist when it comes to restyling and playing with dolls, in fact, I'm usually all for it but the head-swapping is just so ridiculous. Like the current fashion selections for modern body sculpts are objectively the worst in all of Barbie's history and the vintage fashions that do fit look terrible on the modern body. (Not to say that dolls have to be limited to whatever era they originated in but like generally, stylistically they tend to look a little better? like a '60s doll can look pretty goofy in a '90s outfit and vice versa but whatever i digress) (I also am not a big fan of what is now considered the "original" proportioned body in general and much prefer the bellybutton body. (Not that I don't like the other new body types, I do It's just that the current iteration of the standard body type is not my favorite since it does not lend itself well to backward compatibility and is generally poorly engineered.))

Furthermore, we all know the second-hand market has been becoming more and more of a nightmare for a multitude of reasons, one being that half of it is being taken up by the heads of dolls that were made to move on the unarticulated bodies that they were swapped with. This is already a hobby that encourages overconsumption, why are we also acting like turning two nice dolls into one slightly (subjectively) nicer doll and one slightly less nice (again subjective) but still perfectly fine doll that will rot in a bin for years is an acceptable thing to do. A pretty doll who realistically will spend the majority of its time with you on a shelf does not need to be fully articulated. People waste time, money, and plastic buying twice the amount of dolls they actually display/use and create one entire collection's worth of (Subjectively) bad dolls.

For the better part of the 65 years that Barbie has existed, most dolls never had anything more articulation than a twist waist, elbows, knees, hips, and shoulders, and guess what! That was good enough for everyone! Articulation does not automatically make a doll better. There are plenty of static dolls that are arguably better that way. I'd also argue that each doll's specific body adds charm to it that is stripped away when you homogenize a collection in this way. A major appeal of 80's/90's Barbie is the extreme proportion that makes her look like a cartoon character, and so many dolls of the 2000s and early 2010s have really cool gimmicks and special body molds that make them unique to collect. That is without even mentioning how many contemporary dolls lose their body diversity because there just aren't that many skin tone matches for every body type.

Thank you and shut up I hate you

I’m gonna go on an unhinged rant because this tennis tv graphic:

represents pretty much everything I hate about the way american men’s tennis is talked about

I would say “no other country is like this” but it’s not even the country, because american women’s tennis doesn’t have this issue. no one is like “ooh, is coco, jess, or madi keys the real american number one?” no, nobody says that, they just let them play tennis and look what happened, coco won a slam. the culture around american men’s tennis is so incredibly toxic. I’ve watched a lot of taylor fritz matches this year and every time, without fail, they introduce him as the number one american. every time. does daniil frequently get introduced as the number one russian? no. does jannik frequently get introduced as the number one italian? no. and yet for some reason, the “american number one” is presented as this prestigious, coveted spot, but all it does it put extra, unnecessary pressure on american men. and it drives me insane the way the tennis world and the media will hold one of them up and then immediately drop them when one of the others starts doing well. the second taylor won indian wells, it was “oh he’s gonna win a slam he’s gonna be the next great american” then frances made the semis of the us open and it was “taylor who? frances tiafoe is gonna win a slam” then tommy paul had his ao run and people jumped on his hype train, and now ben shelton, who is literally just starting out on tour, has this added pressure of “forget the other three guys, he’s the next great thing, he’s going to win a slam” and don’t even get me started on sebi korda. if he was from literally any other country I have a feeling no one would care about him but all of a sudden we’ve got people claiming he’s the “real best american” because he had a couple good matches against medvedev and djokovic. not “a top 10 player” or “future slam winner”, just “best american”

the truth is, they’re disposable to the media. they’re each one fifth of the same whole, not their own people. there isn’t taylor, tommy, ben, frances, and sebi as individuals in their eyes, there’s just “the american”

[butch-reidentified]

hi, in a post you recently said 'if you're ever questioning if something you're experiencing in a relationship is healthy, please don't hesitate to reach out to me and ask', so i was wondering if this was okay? if not, please ignore and sorry for the convenience. i hope this isn't triggering but it includes bdsm and rape fantasies.

i'm very lucky to be in a relationship with a man who made it clear for day 1 that he wasn't going to hurt me during sex, pretend to force me, or engage with any of that. i used to be big time into bdsm but over the last 10yrs i've been doing more feminist reading and having conversations with others and tried to unpack all of that, which has left me wanting to distance myself from it. i stopped justifying and defending bdsm, stopped engaging with bdsm-content in fiction and stopped watching porn all together. i got more involved with anti-prostitution and porn advocacy too.

the problem is that i'm still engaging with it internally. it's like a switch flips in my head when i'm with my partner and i construct this world where i'm being forced but can't show it. i used to think it was because of prior trauma and i was trying to get a sense of control, but it just feels like i'm using that as an excuse. it's a big thing in the bdsm community to justify it by claiming you're 'working through your trauma' but i was supposed to be past that now. it's been years so i feel like i don't have a good reason to be still doing this.

do you have any advice? once again, thank you.

I'm glad you asked! it wasn't exactly what I was talking about in the post - more internal rather than interpersonal - but I actually can relate in a sense. my wife tells me that sometimes when I get super stoned (which I rarely do tbf), I talk about wanting some fucked up things. I definitely THINK about some fucked up things. I'm quite far out from any posttraumatic mental effects, so I also don't feel that that explains it, and I'm fairly sure I had some questionable fantasies prior to my traumas, too. i wouldn't call it kink, though, bc they're not inherently tied to sex nor arousing to me on their own. I think I like violence and adrenaline and always have, and I don't really care which direction the violence goes, I just find it fun. but that's not a "need," as men would have you believe. it's just a quirk of my personality, and while I choose not to engage with it outwardly (I don't start unnecessary fights but I don't shy away either), I also refuse to make myself ashamed by it. there is no such thing as a thought crime. your stances against prostitution, porn, and, yes, bdsm as well, are not compromised or hypocritical because you have those thoughts. let them be, observe them, and release them as feels right to you. i think the idea that we must analyze such things to death is rather Christian in nature and likely in origin: the idea that our thoughts and desires can be sinful themselves, or that they speak to who we "really" are. I think that's a load of shit. I don't believe anyone who would claim to have never thought (or even desired!) some really unhinged shit. humans are weird! I'm glad I have someone I can tell all my unhinged thoughts to without judgment, but none of it means I'd ever act on such things.

tldr, we all have some out of pocket thoughts (beyond just intrusive thoughts, to be clear!) and I don't believe there's anything wrong with that on its own, nor are we obligated to explain them

I don't expect everyone to agree with this, but it is where I stand on the matter

[hikari-ni-naritai]

hello emily. may i please ask for a recommendation for a yuri manga. i remember you were recommending a vampire one a few months ago

Oh yeah that was "seifuku no vampiress lord", which is really good. Even though it got fucking canceled after one volume and they had to cram 6 volumes worth of content into 2. It's fine. I'm not bitter. I'm not filled with rage. It's about a girl who becomes a vampire and starts sucking her best friends blood in a horny way.

Anyway idk what your preference is but if you want something that's not rushed and badly translated in the second half, I'll give you a few of my other favorites.

"Even if it was just once, I regret it" (also known by its woefully worse title "I can't believe I slept with you") is really good. It's about a girl who gets really drunk after losing her job and sleeps with her lesbian landlord bc she can't afford rent. One of the ones I reread every once in a while.

"Handsome girl and sheltered girl" is about a girl who's incredibly fucking hot who accidentally ends up dating a girl who thinks she's a hot guy. There's a lot of gendery vibes in it. Another reread candidate.

"Bloom into you" obviously. Obviously. It's a masterpiece so if you haven't read it, it's really good. A girl who can't fall in love has to deal with the perfect student council president falling in love with her (specifically because she told her she could never fall in love).

"Bright and cheery amnesia" is about the world's dumbest and horniest lesbian getting amnesia and finding out she's dating a hot girl and being very excited about it. The first couple pages of that used to float around Tumblr so you might've seen them.

"Useless Princesses" is a fuckin, personal favorite bc every single character is really unhinged and the drama between them gets escalated to unnecessary proportions. A girl who gets bullied ends up becoming close friends with the most popular girl in school.

Those are all, iirc, finished works, but there's a couple others that aren't finished yet if you're OK with them.

"After School" I think it's called? Is about a girl who starts kissing another girl after school for no reason. It's good kissing. I reread it every once in a while.

And "I love amy", which. Frankly needs a few trigger warnings probably, bc despite the incredibly cutesy art style, it features things like kidnapping, attempted child murder, killing a dog, child abuse, etc. It's about a very plain looking girl who falls in love with an adorable yandere girl who dreams of kidnapping a cute boy and keeping him in her basement. There is A Lot going on in it but I love it. It starts out feeling pretty het but that's very much changed in recent updates.

Anyway I hope this helps! Love u anon happy yuri'ing!

All fics must be new, unfinished, and unpublished works.

Because this is a collaborative, team event, if your fic is already finished when you’re paired with an artist, this greatly limits your level of collaboration.

Because of the level of collaboration expected of this event, if you are very attached to one specific interpretation of your prompt, it may be better to set it aside for another time. We are encouraging artists and writers to work together to create their piece from the ground up.

Writers, this means you are sharing an idea that drives you with someone who will help you build it up into a story. Be open to feedback, and be prepared to offer it to your artist as well, even if you aren’t familiar with their medium. Be prepared to potentially suggest concepts for illustration, pronunciation, and/or share inspirational resources. Artists, this means you are available to offer feedback to your writer. Be prepared to offer suggestions for pacing, story beats, or maybe art, photos, or songs that inspire you.

This is a Sterek event, so Sterek MUST be the main focus.

Stiles and Derek DO NOT need to be in an established relationship for your fic to be considered appropriate for this event.

If Stiles and Derek spend the entire fic working their way up to getting together, that is OKAY. Everyone grows at different paces, and if your grand finale is their first kiss, their first hand-holding, or even just staring wistfully into the sunset thinking about how they can finally get together, that’s okay.

While Stiles and/or Derek need to be the integral characters to the story, it is okay to have outsider POV.

We would prefer the pairing to remain as Stiles and Derek only, but if your idea REALLY needs someone else to join them, that’s okay too. Just remember, this is a collaborative event, so you need to either be up front about that idea or discuss it with your artist when it comes up.

You must finish your work.

Maybe your story is incredibly inspiring to you and you wind up with far more story than you have the time to tell. Try splitting it into parts and finishing part one so that you can have an appropriate ending for publication time.

If you are close to finishing but won’t make the final check-in, please reach out to us either by email, tumblr DM, or discord message, and we’ll be happy to try and work out a time for you to post towards the end of the posting period. If that still doesn’t work, we don’t want to stop you from posting your work, but we will have to get together with you and your partner to figure out a different solution. It won’t be fair to others to honor a significant extension with the same “reward”. We will also discuss pinch hitting with you and your team.

No theft. This means:

No copying and reuploading other people’s fanfics.

No copying and reuploading other people’s fanarts.

No editing or otherwise visually manipulating anyone else’s fanart to use in your edit/video/etc. without explicit, verifiable permission from the original artist.

No ‘inspired by’ fic continuations or remixes without explicit, verifiable permission from the original author.

If they have a blanket permission statement, please include that in your summary proposal.

No AI anything. Current AI is entirely based on theft, and therefore it is not allowed.

Please avoid polarizing character bashing.

This is not a hard rule, but we are striving to hold an event that is positive and uplifting for all sides of fandom. As such, we ask that you please avoid writing something that actively perpetuates these divisive themes.

We are defining character bashing as “When a character acts in a way that is excessively inflating negative traits to be an unnecessary antagonist within the fic.”

You are welcome to make canon main characters into antagonists, but we would prefer them to have believable motivations and good reasons to think and act the way they do. They shouldn’t just be unhinged evil assholes so that the reader has someone to be angry with and/or hate.

HELLO TUMBLR PEOPLE

I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO WRITE MORE SO I SHALL OBLIGE

I will never get over how sweet the tumblr/qsmp community is. yall are so sweet and amazing and oof- hugs for all

PART 2 QSMP MEMBERS + THE KINGDOM (DDG) WOOOO

[You can find part 1 here]

PHILZA - FIRJEN/LJORD

The only kingdom to fully get wiped off the face of the earth for good, leaving almost no trace of it ever existing in the first place (the king deleted his YouTube channel :,( )

In the north peak of Midisti, deep in the snow was once the freezing kingdom of Firjen. It was a kingdom with little allies that mostly kept to themselves. It was once ruled by King Joris who, after losing the war against Entropia & friends, lost everything. The Goddess Eclypsa took notice of the unnecessary blood spill and became enraged. Fueled with grief and anger, she decided to save King Joris by bringing him to Ljord. Here she gifted him the dragons of Bovisti.

The king, broken but determined, rebuilds his empire in the new snowy lands of Ljord. He recruited new people, found some of his old companions, and eventually got revenge on Entropia after capturing King David and feeding him to the dragons. But his glory didn't last forever. His men turned on him, kicked him off the throne, and threw him in jail, never to be heard from again.

Philza seems to me like a person who'd do well in Firjen/Ljord. Either as someone who stayed loyal to King Joris and went down with him or as one of the people who turned on him in the end. Perhaps he realized that the revolution and appointing a new king did not make things any better, and joined the refugees to Fenrin to fight for freedom from the outside. Also, he has a history with cold lands (the Artic Empire & his DSMP base with techno). Plus he is currently taking care of two dragon eggs, which is fitting to me.

MISSA - HELLIOS

Truly a great place to be. As the name says, Hellios is the kingdom’s version of Hell. If you're bad and you die, you get doomed to live in a black, lifeless realm for all eternity named Hellios. If good, you go to Elementos, a haven with everything a person can dream of.

Hellios is run by Celcrius (the God of the underworld) and his mage Arjan. They are known to dabble in dark magic, necromancy, and mind control and will use it without hesitation. This has been made very clear since the beginning. In episode 1 of their series, they resurrect an old king intending to take over the kingdom of Tyksa.

Q!Missa being a walking, living, breathing skeleton fits in well with how Celcrius goes about his business. I see Misa possibly being one of Celcrius' workers who was brought to life by the mage. He could've been an informant, sent to the surface to collect information. I like to think Celcrius told him to spy on people from a distance, but Misa misunderstood completely. Instead, he started trying to blend in with civilization so collect info that way. People might've been a bit freaked out at first, since he's a walking skeleton but eventually got used to it. "But he's so kind though!"

QUACKITY - BOR

Kingdom Bor is.. a strange one. I don't know much about them except that they live inside hills and mountains, are OBSESSED with carrots, and don't seem to take anything seriously.

They're most known for the song the king wrote about importing carrots. Further, the kingdom is known for the song the king wrote about jumping around. Also, the king blew up a part of his own kingdom because looking at it made him sad. He also started beef with Hellios for some reason. Idk even how.

In general, the whole kingdom is just a bunch of lads messing around and being stupid. The fact that they survived for two seasons and won multiple wars is incredibly shocking to me.

I think Q!Q would fit in well seeing the many many times he went missing, and then came back, and then went missing, and then came back, and then- you get the point. He's unhinged, a little bit crazy and I think he would be busting it down if he heard the songs about carrots and jumping.

WILBUR SOOT - MURA (kinda)

I wanted to assign Wilbur to a kingdom but then later changed my mind. I think it be cool if he was a nomad, traveling from kingdom to kingdom to play music and have a good time. But if I did have to assign him somewhere it would probably be Mura (the kingdom of former nomads, who sworn to never participate in wars).

This is all for now, since it it getting very late for me and I am very sleepy. I hope you enjoyed reading this! :D Sending love to everyone <3
