AHHHH PEDRO PASCAL ASKS LETS GO!!!

2,3 and 8 ☺️💕✨

Sending you all my love dearest Erin! 💌

EEEEE thank you honey!!!! and all the love back to you, erika <33

2. What character first brought you into the Pedro fandom?

officially, joel. but the first character of his i ever saw was jack. i consider jack to be my first love when it comes to pedro lol

i always liked him from a distance after that; i saw him in ww84 and thought he was the best part of the movie (still think so) so i knew he was an amazing actor. i never saw mando when it came out because i'm not a star wars girlie (gn) but my mom had! and she kept telling me to watch it because "he's a space cowboy bounty hunter, erin, he's your type" (boy, was she right) but i just never got around to it.

then he was cast as joel and i went "HMMM....... he's a great actor, he could probably pull it off" but i was cautiously optimistic because tlou has been my favorite video game for years and video game adaptations are notoriously awful. then he was amazing and after episode 3 i was hooked lmao

3. Max Lord or Max Phillips? Marcus Pike or Marcus Moreno?

ok i know i just posted a max phillips gifset and i'm a slut for vampires in any universe, but i'm gonna pick max lord. i will not hear any slander over his cheesy 80s suits or any shallow opinions on his appearance. maxwell lord is attractive because pedro is playing him and you cannot tell me otherwise. he's a deeply tragic character and pedro SLAYED the acting ok.

and i choose marcus pike. he's such a sweet character and the most boyfriend-coded man he's ever played. marcus moreno is a total sweetie and i love him, but i am not the target audience for that movie so it's hard to watch 😭

8. Be flirted with by Agent Whiskey or Javier Peña?

ERIKA, YOU'RE EVIL FOR THIS.

both would have me on the god damn floor jfc. i legitimate can't pick between the two of them.

on the one hand you've got the charisma and swagger of jack who would give me the sweetest of petnames that would turn me into a puddle.

and on the other, you've got javi who would whisper the filthiest shit in my ear that would have me blushing so god damn hard and giggling like a school girl.

i can't pick. can i have both? (at the same time?)(can i have them kiss each other?)

#sorry for the wall of text that is these answers jfc #kedsandtubesocks #asks

[twinknote]

this post is half vent, half WWYD. poll below

ok background info. you've been vaguely friends with someone for like 8 years. he asks if you could check on his apartment while he's out of town for a few weeks. you ask if you can stay over and he says yes, and that he's gonna clean before he leaves. he also lets you know that he put bedding in the washer but didn't have time to put it in the dryer, so his landlord will do this.

you get there and it is Messy. which is not ideal, but not unbearable. However. 1. the bathroom and shower in particular are Disgusting, to the point of not being usable. you try to clean the shower and it doesn't go well. you mainly came over because your hot water is out and you Need to shower. and 2. the landlord (surprise) did not put the bedding in the dryer, Plus there is no laundry detergent in sight.

you end up making the hour drive home at midnight after a panic attack because it is too nasty and too much to handle. next week you'll be ~30 min away from his apt for a few days.

#so yeah this was my weekend :) #i didn't go into detail as to not post a wall of text but. jfc it was GROSS

[mirmidones]

ok bitter bitch moment, but i HATE when people repeatedly do not even try themselves to do something and just want me to do it for them.

even when it's something absolutely idiotic, like idk, bc of construction works the main entrance to the school is closed but there is literally a sign on the door that explains how else to enter. all you have to do is read and follow instruction. it's not like i did anything different yesterday when i got there. "nooo i still dont know im scared ill wait for you outside so you can show me" why. just get the fuck inside. or like when they ask me the time schedule literally everyday and at one point im like. or you could look it the fuck up. yknow. just how i do. since it is a class you also want to attend. it's not like the school desk calls me personally to let me and only me know. "what trains do i have to take to come see you?" i dont know, what trains are there? why cant you do it for yourself . and like i obviously dont mind being asked for help and offering help in general. i do mind it when people my own age start treating me like im their second mom or something. and i know it takes 2, i could just shut up and not be helpful but then most of the times it damages me as well as them and when it doesnt it is still super fucking annoying bc i have to sit there and listen to them whine and do nothing about anything and just. idk. patiently pretend to feel anything other that pure rage. and that does feel like a waste of my time

#i think another problem is that. most things i figure out by myself and it takes me a lot of time and energy and shit. no one helped me #through it or anything. so why cant you put even a little bit of effort? if i did it it's possible to do it #and like sometimes when i say i previously did something they want to do im just idk. im just saying its possible to do it even though its #hard but immediately theyre like oh can you do it for me then #no i fucking cant?? #sorry this all spun from getting a text from friend who is always asking me every info about uni wanting the notes from yesterday and #today and it just drives me up the fucking wall like leave me the fuck alone. figure it out. jfc. #+ today ive also been on edge and got even more on edge whenever ive had to say things all over again a second or third time and #clearly i am still pretty fucking pissed. or at least i thought i had calmed down until i got that text #i keep edging between thinking i am reasonably pissed off and thinking im a fucking pretentious bitch. ugh #x

[foreverxdaydreaming]

i really wanna catch up with everyone but i just haven't had the energy to lately tbh... idk if it's been the anemia, pms, or mental health that have had me all but floored these days but... ive just been canceling everything left and right and just barely making it thru not calling out at work. and then we got hit with the news of moonbin's passing and now i'm just so struck with grief and at a loss and just .. can't even begin to imagine how his immediate loved ones feel rn. it all feels like too much, all at once, and shit's always up at the fan these days. just know that i miss you all dearly, especially those i typically frequently message/interact with..i just feel like I'm looking at everything through a glass wall these days. i probably put up the wall unintentionally so that i can hide behind it to kick scream and cry my way through my days, but either way.. i feel like teeny tiny shrunken alice getting stuck in a vial of liquid that feels far too big for her to swim out of. and this isn't like a cry for help or anything, i just really needed to vent and am hella prone to metaphors and shit.... but also like i hate when you start doing a lil better and get used to being all happy and social and stuff and then take like 27 steps back and suddenly feel like a lost child all over again. like you know nothing in this world, like you're lost even amongst the people you know, like you're always yelling on the other side of the glass but no one can hear you... maybe it's just that i haven't had to deal with insecurities or social anxiety in awhile and now i have no idea wtf to do with it but like.... god damn does it suck to not feel in charge of your own brain. the grief is one thing, and it's normal, but everything else on the daily? absolutely ass. if you've read this far or even just skimmed to the end, i am truly genuinely sorry for either wasting your time on a vent/rant ....or sorry if you feel you can relate to any of this and you're also hurting rn. i wish nothing but the best for you all, and may you heal from the things that you don't (and do) speak from. i love each and every one of you even if we've only spoken like once, and im so proud of you all for still being here and kicking ass, okay? may happier times, warmer days, & the strength to keep fighting be with you now & forevermore <3

#jj.txt #4am thoughts #mental illness innit #tw death #tw suicide #rest in peace moonbin #hurts just to even type that one out jfc #my eyes keep tearing up but my mind is hard stuck in the denial phase still.... fuck man #long post #great wall of text #emotional sappy shyte

VERSE — S.TRANGER T.HINGS

Hawkins was meant to be a fresh start for the Afton family. With Evan's death in 1983 and the missing children causing their repercussions, what was left of the family moved in hopes of opportunities at the newly opened Starcourt Mall. The new location combines the Toy Animatronics and Circus Baby's Pizza World, splitting the main attractions into two sections ( as well as the... old models stored in the back ).

1985:

Michael is dragged to the mall location to help... often, though it isn't an official JOB so much as it is his father forcing him to watch over Elizabeth... to keep her away from Baby. The easiest way to tie into the events is by encountering the group at Scoop's Ahoy, most likely trying to satisfy Elizabeth wanting to get ice cream and looking for any excuse to get out of there. From there, he can either join the mission to uncover the mall's secrets OR simply linger behind when the mall closes and get roped into the final battle.

Michael tried to get Liz to leave the building with zero success, arguing over it before getting caught up in the chaos. Michael hadn't realized Liz ran back to Circus Baby's section of the restaurant until it was too late. He didn't understand why his father sounded so damn panicked when he arrived, until they were both standing in front of the animatronic that killed Elizabeth.

1986:

The official explanation is that Elizabeth died in the fire, whereas Michael seemed to disappear afterwards. Despite having an idea of the truth, Michael didn't dare say anything different after William was sure to silence him. He can be spotted at Hawkins High, but avoids most people ( even Eddie's group if he were to be approached ).

It isn't until the murders spring up that he shows his face again. He doesn't believe it's Eddie, but he wasn't drawn to it because of his vague knowledge of Hawkins' strange happenings, either. Upon eventually grouping with everyone, he learns the threat is much bigger than... a regular person, and joins in their mission to stop Vecna.

— Ultimately, Michael keeps information about his family history close to his chest. William IS causing disappearances / conducting experiments in the background, and while Michael does suspect he may be involved in something horrible, this side of his life has no effect on the main events. Also, he IS potentially vulnerable to being cursed Vecna.

~~~

You don’t remember the last time you were this tired.

You’re already stripping as you push the door to your quarters open, dropping garments on the floor. Making your way into the room, you groan as you remove your bra and fling it somewhere where you think it knocks something over but you’re too exhausted to care. Leaning against the wall you unlace your boots and shimmy out of your trousers and underwear until you’re standing in the middle of the room stark naked and staring lovingly at your bed. You know you should shower, should remove your makeup at the very least but the soft covers of your duvet and fluffy pillows call to you like a siren’s song. Sathanas, what a day. You spent most of it cleaning the chapels and attending Papa Copia at mass, your most favorite task. Your devotion to the Olde One ran true, and attending services always moved you deeply whether you were participating or merely a devout spectator. Vaguely you recall something about Aether texting you earlier in the day, asking you to check in with him when you got back to your room so you fumble around in the pockets of your discarded pants for your phone.

I’m here, very sleepy. Coming over?

You think of the towering form of the ghoul, the way his strong arms encircle you when you bury your face into his chest. The rumble of purrs that come out of him when you rub your hands along his broad back. The sounds you can tease out of him when he’s at his most vulnerable, large hands gripping at your hips and his wonderfully thick cock pulsing inside you. Your lips curl up in a soft grin as you await his response, a rush of warmth spreading from your belly to the apex of your thighs. Before it can truly grow into anything more, your brain reminds you how exhausted you are and you feel the edges of your vision start to blur with the need for sleep. You hesitate only a moment before typing out an additional text.

Gonna go to bed. If you want me you can have me…

He responds right away and you nearly laugh at his eagerness.

On my way over right now

Walking over to your bed with a smile, you plug in your phone to the charger, fling back the covers and crawl in, sighing deeply when your head hits the pillows. The cool sheets and comforting weight of your blankets immediately sets you at ease and before you know it, your heavy eyelids shut and you drift off to sleep.

Twenty minutes have passed since you sent Aether the suggestive text and he is finally at your room after being waylaid by Copia in the hall who, in his peculiar way, began complimenting you and your devotion during the service that day. The conversation went on for far longer than Aether wanted, but finally Copia let him go with a wink and a little elbow-shove about how you’re probably waiting for him. Aether tried not to look too eager when he walked away from Papa, but Copia looked at his retreating back with a suggestive eyebrow waggle all the same. When he opens your door, he’s met with dim lighting and nearly trips on your discarded items of clothing strewn in a trail from the entryway. He smiles fondly when he spies you, bundled up in your blanket and softly snoring, and he immediately begins to strip. When he’s fully nude, he slips in beside you, groaning at the cocoon of warmth you’ve created. He wraps an arm around you and pulls you flush against him, a purr rumbling in his chest when your naked flesh meets his. He gently leans in and nuzzles your hair: you smell like the incense Papa uses in his masses and the unique, sweet, intoxicating scent he’s come to know as you. Unconsciously, his hips shift forward and his half-hard cock brushes against the curve of your ass. You’re so kind, so good to him, always giving and loving. He thinks about the text you sent earlier and a flood of warmth begins to rush through his veins.

If you want me you can have me

He can’t lie, he’s often thought about having you like this. Fucking against you or into you as you sleep, watching you shift and moan even through the haze of slumber. Slowly, he slides one of his large hands up your side, squeezing the meat of your hip briefly before moving over your belly and up to your breasts. When he cups one, thumb brushing over the nipple, you make a small noise in your sleep and shift your hips backwards against him, causing him to groan. He lowers his lips to your shoulder and begins mouthing at the warm skin there, tongue tracing up the curve of your neck as he gently pinches your now hardened nipple between his thumb and forefinger. His cock, now profusely leaking precum onto your skin, ruts against you slowly, every roll of his hips in sync with the movement of his mouth on your flesh. He pulls you closer, if that’s even possible, and with steady, firm movements begins to fuck himself against you. His breath stirs the hairs strewn around the side of your face and his hand abandons your breast to grip at your hip.

“So good for me, even in sleep,” he growls lowly, face buried in your neck. “So fucking soft.”

You’re providing so much pleasure for him, he thinks, but receiving none in return. That simply won’t do. With his hand wrapping around your body to cup the curve of your belly he concentrates his quintessence on your sweet cunt, making you feel the presence of his cock within you even as he ruts against you. He’s sure he’s woken you from your slumber when you let out a long, low moan but your eyes remain shut even as your breathing becomes unsteady. With every thrust, every drag of his cock along your skin he imagines being inside you, stretching you just how you like, the way you clench so tightly around him. He visualizes hitting that glorious sweet spot within you and when he slides his hand down to the juncture of your thighs, he moans loudly when he finds you sopping wet. Even as his phantom cock thrusts inside of you, he toys with your swollen clit, making you whimper and your eyes dart around behind your eyelids. Your breathing comes out in soft pants punctuated with beautiful little mewls as he presses his forehead to the back of your head, concentrating on your softness as his hips begin to jerk forward with more fervor. 

“Fuck, my love,” he groans, fingers sliding through your slick to rub at you, “fuck, you’re perfect. So perfect just - ah! - just for me. My sweet girl.”

He imagines how you must feel, mind drifting through subconscious thoughts even as you’re filled with the stretch of him. He wonders what you dream of, if it’s of him. His thrusts become shorter and faster as you tip your head back against him, mouth hanging open. With a gasp, you moan one word with your back arching, hips bucking into his touch.

“Aether!”

It’s all he needs to drive him over the edge and suddenly he’s coming, hard, all over your ass and lower back. He barely notices that you’re stirring, cheeks flushed and eyes blearily looking at your surroundings as he fucks himself into overstimulation against you. He only stops when your hand shifts behind you and grabs at his hips, stilling him. Sweat slides down his forehead as his seed cools on your skin and you hold him flush against you.

“I’m sorry,” he pants quietly, hoarsely, “I’m sorry I woke you.”

“Mmmm don’t be,” you say sleepily, pushing your own hips back to brush against his softening cock. “That was gorgeous.”

He smiles against your hair and tells you not to move as he gets out of bed and heads to your small bathroom. After a moment he returns with a warm, damp washcloth and tends to the mess he’s left on your skin. Half of it has slid off you and onto the sheets - a problem for tomorrow.

“Thank you,” you murmur as he discards the cloth in your hamper. Reaching out, you make a needy grabby hand gesture, beckoning him back to bed. When he slides back in alongside you, you roll over to face him.

“How’d you do that?” you say with a yawn, sleep clearly falling upon you once more.

“Hmm?”

“How were you inside me while…not being inside me? That was…wow.”

“Ah,” he says, leaning forward to kiss your forehead, “quintessence magic.”

You waggle your eyebrows suggestively and reach up to stroke the base of his horn while his tail pulls you closer under the covers until you’re nestled against his chest.

“Felt amazing,” you whisper, fingers carding through his chest hair, “like being fucked on a cloud. You were so close but still far away. Weird feeling.”

“But you liked it?” Aether asks, looking down on you with your brow furrowed.

“Mmm fuck yes.”

“You’re not upset with me?”

“Love, the only thing I’m upset about is you not using that magic earlier. You were holding out on me.”

Your eyes are shut but your lips are curled into a mischievous smile and he strokes your hair.

“I’ve got all kinds of tricks up my sleeve. Maybe Cirrus and I will show you…”

You make one last noise - a mix of intrigue and contentment - before sleep overtakes you once more. Aether holds you close, the spade of his tail drifting up and down your leg under the covers.

Before his own eyes slide shut, he reminds himself to thank Papa for including you in his mass today. Maybe he could tire you out more often.

Jesus God Lordt please give me skrenth 🙏🏿

PLEASE

I am trying sO damn hard rn not to fucking explode on my great aunt but she is insistent on carrying on a “religious” conversation that I’ve told her that I don’t wanna discuss any further. That’s YOUR fucking hang up, not mine. I left her house, she calls me. I ended the phone conversation, and now she’s texting me

I try to always respect my elders, but …… whew boy do y’all make it hard af sometimes

We very literally have an extended family member who did hard time in prison for hiring a hit man to murder someone, and everyone still invites them to family gatherings because all is forgiven, God’s graces and all that fucking kumbaya bullshit—but another family member who is (gasp!) gay got y’all permanently bent outta shape????

Mind you, the person who hired the hit man was never contrite, never repented, never apologized, never even said, “My bad. I’m sorry, that was wrong of me,” and everyone just regurgitates some bullshit about “don’t judge” or “God forgives” ….. but a lesbian—a blood relative—who has lived an EXTREMELY fucking exemplary life is beyond forgiveness, is shunned, not talked about and isn’t invited to any family functions???

This right here is why people learn to hate or reject religion completely. The rank hypocrisy

And this is coming from me, someone who had two grandmothers who were both preachers; and a mother who is a preacher; and from someone who was raised in the Pentecostal church, and as a kid, who had to go to church every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and twice on Sundays until sports gave me an excuse to not go

JFC I am sO fucking heated rn

I refuse to knock religion writ large because I am aware that not all religious people have these homophobic + transphobic beliefs. I know this because I have personally met them, and they are more than a few. And that’s without even getting into other non-American religions. And I’ve also met plenty of deeply racist, misogynistic, homophobic atheists in my brief 39yrs

And note to white people: you don’t need to be religious for that fuckery. White supremacy doesn’t need a church structure to make it happen. Just look at Wall Street and Silicon Valley if you doubt me. They’re hardly dens of religion or Christianity

And Black evangelicals don’t got nothing on their white evangelical counterparts. I just personally hate it that sO many Black people—my people—get suckered into respectability politics via religion. It’s got some of my elders stuck somewhere between subservient Chicken George and Uncle Ruckus mentalities

And they can’t even see it

That’s the sad, frustrannoying part

Anyway, maybe I’m just being a little weird, but I will gladly take an LGBTQ person over someone who attempted to have someone murdered in cold blood

(duck) THOUGHTS!! THOUGHTS ON EPISODE 10-11!! NOW!! I AM SHAKING YOU VIOLENTLY PLEASE TELL ME

OHOGHGOH MY GOSH OK OK OK you know how funny it was for like 2 days straight after we FINALLY caught up i just kept saying "i have to go write out my thoughts on drdt and feed my anons (mostly with you in mind)" every few hours with nothing but "i thought you already did that??" in response, cue me being like "no but like for real this time"

I also give my best wishes to the creator of DRDT, you've given us such a fun story with fun characters and I hope you the best on recovering, resting, and focusing on yourself. If we never get another episode that is a-ok, I'll be very sad but only because I truly appreciate the art and writing for a wonderful story that you've given to us all for FREE. Thank you for that<3 For clarity and reference, this whole ramble is written with the intention/presumption that we will get more chapters, though I'm not getting my hopes up

!!!!! DRDT EPISODE 10 AND 11 SPOILERS BELOW !!!!!

Also just an insane wall of text in general, jfc, you have been warned

Ok so first of all, I'll say what everyone's really here for:

Sorry, I personally fucking LOVED the twist, no significant complaints with it; it's a character trope I ADORE and more than I ever could've asked for to come from such a blorbo as David

Sorry, yes, I am also unfortunately down bad for him, HOWEVER-

Extremely happy that David wasn't the killer because we get to see more of this little freak in action in the next chapter, I can't even tell you how excited I am for his character omgomgomgomg I love horrible fucked up manipulative freaks so much. I also don't blame anyone for not enjoying his character anymore (especially if you liked the trope of his preconceived notion of a character) but like, me personally I can appreciate any character no matter the morals (the less the better imo) as long as they're written in an interesting and compelling way.

The way David is so horrendously straight-forward about everyone else just being a funny little pawn to him with absolutely no remorse (genuinely hope he never gains any empathy or I'll be a little upset ngl (well…depends on how it's done I GUESS!!)) makes his seemingly multi-layered character into….. something one-dimensional (/pos /GEN!!! one-dimensional is NOT a bad thing if it's a cool dimension that causes fun character conflicts) but the WAY they introduce this static ruthlessness to him is just;;;; CHEFS KISS. He's still a layered character, sure, two-faced freak running the long con, but his true self is just so reprehensibly remorseless it's hard to see ANYTHING under it

We were also both dying of laughter in the first episode how David had a really long horribly winded speech about fucking,,,,,,God knows what,,,, And no one acknowledged it and me n my bestie were just fucking whale eyeing each other like "SO IS NO ONE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT? WE'RE JUST GONNA STEAMROLL RIGHT OVER HIS MINI PSYCHOTIC BREAK? OK" Not to be salty but GUYS.. Anyone who genuinely believed David was a good person and were shocked with the twist I…I'm sorry …… I'm sorry that we did not watch the same character introduction …. I've been on team two-faced David from the start that's my manipulate mansplain manwhore right there, babe! If you don't love him at his X you don't deserve him at his Y

Erm erm erm also thought it was hilarious when David was droning on after his big real reveal because, even though I was having a great time with it, I was also just repeatedly muttering "the fish…..?" looking around like the john travolta gif "the fish? the fish? guys, the fish? can we talk about the fish? im dying to talk about the fish" AHGHGAGAHA AND JUST GETTING SO FRUSTRATED WHEN EVERYONE FINALLY BROUGHT UP THE FISH AND WERE LIKE "OH EM GEE THE LIAR IS LYING ABOUT KILLING AREI??? DAS SO CRWAZY" Old school Danganronpa feeling of screaming at the characters denseness, so nostalgic, I DID ENJOY IT, IT WAS FUNNY, I HAD A GOOD TIME HAHA I loooove characters who lie for no good reason only to benefit themselves and have a good time while others suffer (Kokichi doesn't count + I don't like him (also stop comparing David to Kokichi you guys are insane and don't understand character nuance SOWWY))

My apologies I'm still like keeling off [MULTIPLE SUBSTANCES OF VARYING LEGALITY] so DON'T tell me if this is incomprehensible or not because I'm speaking straight from the heart and the heart says I won't him. This reminds me that for the entire time he was having his MAIN psychotic break (especially in the animation) my best friend wouldn't stop fucking muttering in distress "I WANT HIM I WANT HIM I WANT HIM" I had to tell him to shut the fuck up even though I was also internally very much not normal. We should both be shot.

Still think David and Hu should kiss. I think now more than ever they should kiss. Maybe make out.

Actually do you know how many times I said "Shut up, Hu." during these two episodes?? It was at least 5 I was getting SO mad at her for like no good reason, I don't even remember WHY exactly but I think her mom friend energy was getting TOO motherly and I'm no longer appreciating the particular WAY she mothers people, i.e. picking favorites + taking accountability for said favorites + defending them blindly and naively but in weirdly elitist way etc etc etc.. Very typical of Snellyfish to ship toxic men with female characters they don't like. Maybe I should look into my soul for this one, doesn't seem like,,,healthy, or something. I'll write my own callout post for me on that one dw.

Also I'm not necessarily saying Hu has bad writing or a wholly unlikeable personality at all btw, I am interested to know Why she's like that, I just gotta get over the hill of disliking her rn. Uber sweetie characters like that can just get on my nerves is all. She's also definitely got the secret motive for having multiple Attempts, huh? Give us your backstory queen,,,, I promise to like you a little more if you can bring a lil tear or two to my eye,,,,,,, I think my main thing with her is that she's like the most NORMAL of the group LMFAO

Either way, Huvid real. Sorry, but it shouldn't be surprising, I'm a Verturo shipper after all, it's in my natur-

SPEAKING OF VERTUROOOOOHHHH MY GGOOODDDDD I ATE SOOO DAMN GOOD. NO CRUMBS LEFT, I WAS GOING CRAZY. GOOD GOD CHRIST ALMIGHTY. The way that Veronika was the ONLY mf defending Arturo and he was like "girl you're making me look BAD" was so fucking funny, I am so horribly obsessed with their dynamic it's unreal

Not to "omg as a veronika kinnie-" for the millionth time but GIRL-- the way that I've said in the past Multiple Times that I hope both Arturo and David get worse and worse in an irredeemable way (mostly David, I kiiiinda want some nice Arturo content maybe one day 😳), and to have Veronika in like the same episode (I think) pivot back and forth towards both Arturo AND David in a "ohhh you're horribly fucked up I hope you never get better because I want in your brain NOW!!! let me IN!!!!!! THE TOXIC FUMES ARE CALLING TO ME LIKE A SWEET SWEET SIREN!!!!!!!" I think all three of them should also hold hands and kiss and--

OH. OH OHH. ARTURORRROOOO God as a general fuckin stan of all three Arturo + Veronika + David I ATE SO DAMN GOOD IT'S BEEN CRAZY TO CONTAIN MY THOUGHTS LMAO, had to stew on this one before writing it all out y'see. I definitely want to rewatch this chapter sometime because I know I've consumed it pretty mindlessly and a lot goes over my head. EITHER WAY.

Arturo backstory real??? Arturo's breakdown about his sister and how it's not his fault?? Not your fault in what way? Blushes and bats my eyelashes and holds your latex glove hand. plink plink. <-- sound of me batting my eyelashe.s. I was also incredibly normal when he straight up pulled a scalpel on Eden Kai Satou style, really really sane I didn't make monkey sounds or ANything like that, you guys. trust me.

In general I try not to give too hard of a time on DRDT's writing because it's like,, a passion project, obviously not professionally done, just a happy little writer writing their happy little characters AND I APPRECIATE AND RELATE TO YALL SO MUCH FOR THAT;; But I do have to finally properly mention how I frequently face the problem of a very consistent flow of characters being very straightforward, telling instead of showing, and making things just very awkward seeming? I bring this up mostly because of the Eden/Arei scene. Don't get me wrong I LOVE that dynamic and I LOVE what could've been between them in their friendship (🌈?) but I also wish that they didn't write Arei to so boldly claim like "I've been a manipulative bitch" or something like that, I guess I just don't feel that it's the kind of thing someone (especially like her, even with her breakdown-breakthru with David) would be able to articulate so clearly, and accept so honestly in such a short timeframe; I dunno. I've felt this way with a lot of dialogue even just in the prologue/introductions sections, wherein characters speak like they're Just Characters and know exactly how to word things like robots and just don't speak like Real people half the time. Whateva. That's my nitpick. I definitely think the dialogue has gotten better but the Arei thing ticked me off, but, I think her self-awareness might just be a crucial part of her character I'm not picking up on enough so,,,,augh, might just be me, honestly! I'm not the greatest writer myself so 🙏 feh!

Can't wait to figure out if I ship Arturo and J or not. Feel insane about it. Every time they talk I'm like DO I??? DO I SHIP IT??????? LOOKS AROUND AT THE AUDIENCE

GUYS I'LL BE REAL I'M STILL SO LOST ON WHO THE FUCKING KILLER IS LMAO!!!!!!! Entirely forgetting everyone's alibis right now so I can't really say who I'm leaning towards because they could be completely safe and I'm just dense and didn't pay enough attention. My b.

Even though Ace is one of my top fav characters I can feel myself getting steadily less and less interested in him just because all of his energy is going into the stupid Nico/Levi situation and I'm like SO sick of it Actual. I know it's mostly because I don't personally like Nico or Levi AND because this shit keeps getting brought up with no resolution nor any progress and it's like BRO.. I'M SICK OF IT. The amount of times they would bicker and I'd say "I'm sick of this drama." and then strategically zone out in self-defense was kind of funny. ACE DEFINITELY HAD SOME REALLY GOOD PARTS IN THESE EPISODES OUTSIDE OF THAT THOUGH GHGHHG HE KEEPS ME HOOKED, THAT DAMNED SMILE, as a chihuahua lover myself I can never stray too far from Ace's light, he's so fucking funny and I love his dynamic with David-- oh no, I love his dynamic with David........... Looks at my palms.

As always: Charles<3 I have such a funny relationship with him because it's like, he's not one of my top favs by any means, doesn't stand out the most for my particular taste, but I also have literally no reason to dislike him and he's just written GOOD, so whenever he shows up and has a nice scene or a nice line I just go "ah,,,,,,, charles<3" Not a single negative thought about him. He's like a sister to me. This isn't true I have many negative thoughts about my sister but you know!

I THINK THAT'S IT. THERE YOU GO. FEAST, MY ANONS, ASSUMING ANYONE HAS THE WILL TO READ THIS IN IT'S ENTIRETY HAHAHAHA. Time to go watch Demon Slayer Season 3!!!!!!

your essay about the use of abuse to cement power in the Captive prince series is wonderful. You make a number of excellent points and tied together quite a few parallels that I hadn't caught before.

You and others have written such superb analyses, commentary, and exploration of aspects of the books that I wish the fandom had a commonly agreed on tag so that one could easily find these again. Like, I don't know, #capri essay, or #capri analysis, or ...? I don't see that that will ever happen, but boy it would be nice. I really enjoyed yours. I had several, "yes!" Moments while reading, "oh of course!" And "OMG that makes so much sense" (and of course the usual "how did I not notice that?")

Thank you so much!! I’m really glad it read cohesively for you, and that it brought some new links to light. I’m a firm believer in literary discussion viewing the micro in relation to the macro — not removing quotes from context or viewing them in isolation, but trying to understand the patterns formed across the text as a whole. What I posted is only really a beginning point; I deliberately only drew from book one, but oof if I had the time and energy I’d love to write about how the theme develops across the other two books, especially in relation to how it impacts on Damen and Laurent differently. I did kind of talk about Damen’s trauma and its narrative role in another ask, but there is soooooo much more I could say about that.

In regards to finding posts of people talking about the books, a lot of people use “#captive prince meta” as the tag, but. I have a pretentious protest against the term “meta” so I refuse 😂

“Metatextual” is a term used to describe a text that is self-referential, i.e. when a text comments on itself. For example, a play or film having a character break the fourth wall is a metatextual device.

“Metatextuality” is a broader term that refers to these in-text references, as well as intertextuality, i.e. texts that make reference to other texts or comment on other texts. For example, Jane Austen mentioning specific gothic novels in Northanger Abbey, or even the San Francisco vampire bar in Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles being called Dracula’s Daughter, are examples of metatextuality. A TV show like Kevin Can Go Fuck Himself, which comments on and critiques the sitcom genre, is an example of metatextuality. They’re terms that refer to the construction of literature and other media, not literary criticism — so it doesn’t make sense to me to call analysis posts on tumblr dot com “meta,” because they are commentary or criticism (as in opinion and analysis, not badmouthing) and not part of the original text itself.

WHICH IS NOT WHAT YOU ASKED AT ALL jfc I got so carried away 😂😂😂 this is just a specific bugbear I have and I couldn’t help myself hahahaha I’m so sorry

But you may find what you’re looking for in the “#captive prince meta” tag, which is probably used by people less cunty than me 😂

Also if there is anything that you (or anyone) want to ask my opinion on, or want to know how I read/interpret it, feel free to ask! I can’t guarantee my reply will be speedy, but as you can tell. I love to ramble about books 🤡

#asks #my writing #mini lit lessons #this is going in that tag because it did unintentionally turn into a mini lit lesson

your love post about dream just reminded me of something he said during a space. i can’t remember the exact words but it was something along the lines of understanding where his antis are coming from when they hate him for whatever he says or does bc you’re a different person in the perspectives of other people. and i remember being stumped when he said that cause that’s such a mature mindset to have? i love how he tries to do good, and at the same time i feel like he knows when to accept when he can’t change people’s minds. i obvi can’t read his mind but that’s how i interpreted it. but it just sucks now cause it’s a whole different story when it’s someone as close to him as tommy being at the opposing side :( i think we all know how hurt he is based on his likes, but i really hope it works out for him in the end, whether he makes up with tommy or not. i just want him to be at peace

i don’t know how articulate i am with this cause english isn’t my first language and i hopeeee i don’t sound too parasocial? 😭

good morning anon. youre so good dw about it i dont think you sound too parasocial at all. your english is great :) this got way too long so putting it under a readmore

i keep thinking about his "the internet is cold" statement and the way he doesnt immediately attribute someone disliking him to something malicious. he just kinda understands a lot of the shit against him is unserious at the end of the day and laughs it off which is admirable and maybe a bit scary (TO ME). i talked on priv a while back about him always reaching out to other ccs after they talk shit about him to clear up miscommunication over an assumption about HIS character, values, etc which is really mature and a minor droloism of mine but whatever. what makes this different is that it's someone he considered a close friend and very public shade/misrepresentation over another situation involving a personal project where he got burned by another "friend" like... thats just pure betrayal. i'd be pissed too! i'd be sooo mad OMG i'd rain hell on people.

the grind and fame seduces like no other... unfortunately most people value outrage and a quick buck and laugh over sincerity nuance and longevity and well thats the case with most dream discussions/mentions on the internet :( i feel conflicted because on one hand cc friendships and partnerships etc are awesome and amazing but there comes a point where most of the time shit happens (clout, money, etc) and they end messily so while i am sad about it sometimes it is the way it goes and not even dream is immune from that as a cc (snf munchy exempted). like its very danplan/try guys fallout to me (not exact matches but you get what i mean) its happened before and it has and will continue to happen to dream.

still feel really sad about it though because it was a really beautiful friendship born out of mutual respect and passion for the craft. loving people is scary as fuck because you dont know if or when they're gonna turn on you but we still do it anyway. i dont think its overly parasocial to say you wish him peace no matter what; at the end of the day he IS another guy and its not wrong to wish good on people you dont know. i hope it works out too :( many virtual hugs anonnie sorry for these walls of text jfc

final countdown: day 10

today was all about twitch. well, the fake twitch anyway. i spent most of my afternoon just finding random images for use, LEARNING how to make remove background, and have the image cut as a circle so i can make it as 'stream avatar' on the side... you'll see what i mean in a bit.

it was an extremely tedious work once i finally figured how to do it. and i had to do it like 11 times??? jfc. i dont think it's neccessary for the advancement of the story but it would DRIVE ME FUCKING CRAZY if i dont have accurate or semi accurate presentation of twitch layout so ofc i was going to make 11 fucking icons just for this single thing. ;AJSD;FJSF sometimes i wish i was this dedicated in other aspects of my life

anyway, i think it all came together pretty nicely. most of the skeleton of twitch live stream is done and i just need to fill in whatever detailed i missed and the important texts of course. after that i was exhausted and was like NAH im not working on this fucking fic anymore today BUT THEN in the middle of eating dinner i had an idea... like what if i did the twitch main page that lead into the livesstream and I LITERALLY SCREAMED. IN HORROR. because that's a fucking task. i was so livid with myself because once i got an idea in my head i cant shake it free.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE TWITCH MAIN PAGE??? IT IS NOT FUCKING EASY TO FORMAT THAT SHIT HOW LIKE FUCK ME WHYYYYY I CANT DO THIS MYSELF AHHHHHHHHHHHH. anyway, so i worked on it most of the evening and it as AGGRAVATING. i think i almost bang my head against the wall because it was so hard. i had to figure how to align a table, make thicker borders, and make sure it ya know it fit together NICELY so you can see the whole picture im trying to paint with my dollar tree brushes.

i got most of the harder stuff, i think, out of the way, so tmr i'll finish up whatever formatting i need to do and we'll see how far i've come.

wait wait wait... hol up... book!! so is Kal extra super-special ✧˖Chosen One˖✧ or what?!?!?! The uhh... sentient singing mushrooms* weave jewels into their beards w/ mana stormlight (maybe? their song is def catalyst fr something here)... Szeth just does it on power of internal hate alone (deus-ex mofo Loading Screen tutorial of a chara, am not changing my mind here) but this idiot (affectionate) seems to be the only one who gotta sell his soul oath up & bond with spren here

*listen, if the book can't be bothered to elaborate, im building my own explanation. with blackjack! and hookers!

Gotta love the chara progression - keep living just to breathe, be depressed, 5seconds from death, pour self into crazy plan to protect a team, depressed again, forget to stop moving, stay alive outta sheer spite .... paint literal target on yourself with remains of your enemies and taunt the torrent of arrows .... SWAN DIVE INTO A WHOLE ARMY TO SOLO 'EM ALL jfc... good thing the plot planted an entire refill mana pool over there (for realz tho, heroics aside... frm the speedrun of energy expansion multiple times over, his dumb ass shoulda passed out for good after the final lil glow demonstration. You establish in-world mechanics (it speeds up healing, but not instantaneous) you damn better stick to them!

DAMN SON all your major life events seem to really hinge on freakin magical swords don't they! (or i guess, - someone - walking away from one)

yeah ok, it does look like 'stormblessed' just.... a name people keep giving him. I am sticking to my earlier assessment that its the "that bastard"(affectionately)

ooooh hey there throwaway line buried in walls of text - the King can see same ghostly shapes as Shallan, eh??? You don't say!

'sup Dalinar's final vision. I've played this video game before

wooooow, well then! matching Plate-and-Sword sets can't possibly be thaaaaat priceless if Sadeas was willing to give up TWO of them! to the enemy! in one go!

Taravangian's lil hospitals, yeah I've seen that episode of SLIDERS too. They really should look into researching some blood uses. Does that world have blood-types? Can they do infusions? refill the dead poors back to life and see if could squeeze couple more lines outta 'em?

so yeah... that was The Way of Kings .... remain of my previous view that clearly this was planned out as some kinda magazine serial, or for a specifically budgeted word count [dun know enuff about the author, maybe thats just his writing style] The wannabe-palindrome poetry dun work in english ... hey can someone check if such things can work in kanji?? I know certain characters if placed too close become 'wrong' words as it were (the entire joke behind Sayonara Zetsubo-sensei series)

The way freakin EVERYTHING from pain to fire generates floaty pyroflies spren must be exhausting! Those poor people must have permanent itchy eyeballs from so much flickering everywhere

unprompted post. @targetgoku

:) <3

i think it's a crime how well thought out your muses are and how they are not utilized enough. what got me following your blog wasn't just your writing, what got me initially was seeing your investment and the energy spent on your muses when it came to writing/expressing them. you have so many different personalities and mindsets here, all in one place, and are so diligent in devoting time to each muse and who they are as individuals.

i know i can be slow with replies but any text walls you ever give me (about your muses here or others you've written) are thoroughly enjoyed and read a few times over so i can digest it when i'm too busy or mentally lacking to reply. but my excitement at what you'll send or how you'll answer a question is always present. hearing your perspective on these characters and their lore is something i really appreciate it. i see a lot of heart and time put into each of them and i feel like it's a bottomless well when it comes to all your hard work. it also makes me want to hear about just. so many other characters you like or dislike or just listen to you in general cause you've already taken a certain amount of context given in d///bz and jumped into the deep end with it.

you also have a spectacular humor. i feel like you cast a line out in the funny pond and always catch the biggest ones cause jfc the things you send me has me rolling every time. but also, i've been having fun getting to know you. sharing some of our experiences, similarities, things we value when it comes to writing or characters. ahhh. it has been fun and i hope we continue on with it. and can do up writing together, too, whether it's with these bbys or your others.

just know i find all you have done to be incredible and i really love getting to hear more about it.

thank you for sending this in so i could gush a little. ^^
