#like I'm truly obsessed with this concept
Note
—Searching in Eternity (The Summer of Dreams)
DT!! Hello!! I love seeing you in my ask box every time, it never gets old for me 🥹❣️
Also, congratulations!! You picked the one WIP I have that's Bob's Burgers related. Ironically, @br1ghtestlight has a concept that's very similar to this. Basically, this is a Boblin fic which is sort of an AU that's centered around Bob and Linda when they were young, and Linda visits Bob's dad's restaurant one day by chance. The two hit it off and begin a small fling together, and Bob actually thinks a lot about her once she's gone. He reflects on his relationship with his dad and his mom, Linda actually got to meet Lily before she passed, and the two of them got along. She loved Big Bob too, but he didn't warm up to Linda at first.
This was originally going to be a huge multi-chapter fic where the two of them didn't even meet and would switch POVs and just talk about their childhood. But I decided later I wanted it to be Boblin-focused. I do want to finish this one, so I might make it into a Oneshot so I can post it.
I want to share an excerpt so bad, but I wrote it all on paper and I can't find the notebook where I did it 😭
I might have left it behind by accident, which is genuinely so tragic. Well, I didn't have much of it written, but still. There's one scene I want to describe where Bob goes on a nice lil' walk with Lily, and it's quite bittersweet after knowing what happens to her, the poor gal.
Also, just look at how cute they were!! 🥺

thinking about frankenstein's monster again, not anything in particular just kinda brain rotating him like he's the well liked side character of a bad shonen anime
#i'm always thinking about jekyll and hyde though i've been obsessed with those guys since i was way younger#but mister frankenstein's monster has wormed his way into my heart#i'm much too sleepy right now to finish it but when i wake up i hope to continue a video i was watching about the original novel#the concept of frankenstein's monster itself just astounds me it's so great#just everything about it#it feels like a commentary of sorts and maybe it is maybe it isn't#i thought to be thy adam but i am rather the fallen angel#victor is his creator and while not necessarily his god the monster is HIS adam#while the monster had to learn the customs of man he did not truly have to learn how to be man itself#he was created with emotion and the abilities man posses#all he ever wanted was to live and as a creature born with the passion to live amongst men as much as any other man he couldn’t#a hell within itself#and a hell that he did not deserve#a tragedy he could not help and a series of tragedies that overcame him#to not be able to be loved by man and yet be surrounded by him is a worse fate than death#he surely would have rather never lived at all#or maybe been invisible to man entirely#i have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe#if i cannot satisfy the one i will indulge the other#he is a creature of emotion cursed to a life of blind rage#in any other world would he have met a different fate? not at all#man cannot change and he cannot change how he first perceived man and how he was perceived by him#maybe im crazy though#i am crazy im a crazy person!!!#nimposting

having a tav that's a Lloth-sworn life domain cleric of a noble background who before getting yeeted into the nautiloid was a sacrificial priestess (gn) during one of the cycles of Drow society and had their own altar and temple under their care, means Solune would have the most insane however many minutes they spent interacting with Minthara and I am obsessed about it. As far as I'm conceptualising it, I'm thinking of Lloth as extremely Ungoliant-like. Goddess of hunger, goddess of wanting and consumption, goddess of excess and exuberance, goddess who unmasked the hypocritical gods of starvation, guilt and purity into a society that cherishes a certain kind of clarity about the double standard they impose. For Drow are evil for their wars and their wanting and their taking, but those other people with their other gods kill, warmonger and enslave with no regard and no self-awareness, calling the indignation about receiving scraps from a bunch of silent, unrepentant gods, "guilt and shame". There is violence in denial and her Children will not suffer it.
In the season of Life, they do not sacrifice the unwilling. It is taboo. The only sacrifice that matters is the desire to be devoured and destroyed by the things you love the most.
And Solune sees Minthara and is like fucking finally, someone rational enough to get what I'm going through, that they're losing their mind that their life was taken from them and if they become this other thing, if they transform, if they do not remain Luxe Solune Mizzmyrra, Life Knife of Lloth, they're never going to be able to be reintegrated into that life. They will die away from home, from their temple, from their (first) spouse, from their mother and their siblings and there won't be the day when they too succumb to the knife, when it is time, when the day they no longer feel hunger comes.
And then the parasite gives them an in into Minthara thinking she was raised from the darkness into a FALSE GOD? One thing you do not do is steal from Lady Lloth, and oh my god, there could've been a time, a chance that existed only in ignorance, of Solune lending a hand to Minthara but this to them is unforgivable because Solune is genuinely a good friend to their friends, but if you keep peeking into whatever mindset nobility and religious authority has given them it's like realising your friend is a cesspool of "what the actual and everliving fuck", and when the knife of the morningstar priestess comes down on Minthara it won't be with love but with absolute rage, grief and disgust and I will be thinking about this for evermore. Thanks, I'm not well
#bg3#bg: solune#minthara#i love Solune they're so fun to build with because it's like sometimes organically they will reach the same conclusion as Wyll about sth#(I did NOT expect them to get along but he is their highest approval followed by Lae'zel)#but it's someone who has such an Alien concept of society to literally everyone else in the party. Solune is (fundamentally!!!) land owning#power concentrating nobility and no matter what they do not matter what conclusion their reach this specific brand of social conservativism#and verticality informs them to their very core. however also and cannot be dismissed that bc of how I'm conceptualising Lloth#(sorry but to write a vertical society that just brutalises itself what is this? western europe? fuck off)#Solune is by some contradiction one of the most You Do You people possible. but like. to a weird extreme and a wouldn't thou like to live#deliciously manner. oh you want to be FREE from your past then BE IT. oh you want to find your place in the world? then let that place#consume you and change you forever until the day there is no more than hungers in you and you can truly say you have lived#terrible enabling force but also extreme nurturing capacity#and above all they want that life back and sympathise with those feelings so well#but if there is one thing they cannot stand and that they will maim you on the spot about is heresy against lloth because you were not give#the gift of unmasking the hypocrisy of the gods of the above to waste yourself turning your back against the underdark jewels of Drow citie#there where the darkness does not mean shadows but the glimmering light of jewels. what do you mean some people live unfair lives?#well have they thought living better???#i'm obsessed with Solune and whatever the fuck is wrong with them (it's money. it's having money)

#Honestly don't get people who follow me here and even less so that interact semi steadily with my posts#I literally don't follow myself on this sideblog lol#Thanks though. It feels a bit validating haha#I feel my overall opinions are so unpopular in the general fandom that I never end up writing them down for safekeeping#because I would want to find them in my own blog but with tumblr's tagging system that would mean them potentially reaching other people#and thus potentially getting blocked by blogs‚ and as a consequence not getting to see many posts I would love#So yeah it feels like a cordial *pat pat* at times#I am never really insecure at all about my reading capabilities because that's my whole thing but it does feel lonely somewhat#and makes one wonder about some things like whether something is escaping me or if really that's the state of things out there#And lonely even in the mere appreciation of dynamics‚concepts‚ characters‚ motifs‚...that are often dismissed almost entirely by the fandom#This post and this rambling has no telos really#Just how baffling I find to have people follow this blog and even like my posts#And how baffling too the realisation that it can be kind of sweet#Like that line of Benedick '(...) is not that strange?' and Beatrice's reply 'As strange as'#I reread that play yesterday night and truly that line is amazing. One of the love confessions of all time. I love their dynamic#And still is the active/passive roles linked to gender‚ bastardy and the assertion of one's existence and life#in the characters of Hero and don John which always obsess me the most about it#Ahfksjkd but I'm rambling again.

chuuaku is the best fr
PLEASE COME OFF ANON I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU
#people asks me stuff#chuuaku#ryūnosuke akutagawa#chūya nakahara#Chuuaku is so much!!!!! Really underappreciated ship in the fandom if there is one#I just like how safe it is!!! I like how they can trust each other truly. I like the lack of tension and conflict–#because sometimes that's good too!!! Friends to lovers ships ARE good– and in this franchise that is just enemies to lovers dynamics–#all over again it's so nice and refreshing!!!!#I like the concept of Akutagawa and Chuuya finding someone they can feel safe and sound with– it's nice‚ it's what both of them deserve.#They deserve to take a break from all the pain the world gave them‚ they deserve someone who can make them feel loved.#Like I feel like it would be so hard for either of them to ever be truly‚ truly happy but like... That's what they can give each other.#In different ways they deserve and respect each other- and in Akutagawa's case it has the potential to be an actual–#healthy appreciation you know‚ so different from his obsession with Dazai. Actually learning to love someone gradually‚ without the–#constant being hurt that is Chuuya's relationship with Dazai and Akutagawa's relationship with both Dazai and Atsushi–#(because like‚ obviously I'm into sskk‚ but it's evident they'd hurt each other) which is like... Actually very nice?#To have a ship that is not born from hatred and mutual hurting each other? Just learning more about each other–#and eventually falling in love? Love born from MUTUAL respect and admiration??? (Stretching this part because sometimes they make it sound–#like Akutagawa just fell in love with another mentor and like. personally not really into that‚ my ship needs to be on equal footing–#or I won't bother. Not even to mention the fact that Akutagawa really can't take‚ mentally and emotionally‚ having another mentor.)#And I'm running out of tags but like. I KNOW the conflict of s/kk and ss/kk is juicy but once again sometimes having someone you can 100%–#trust and know won't abandon you‚ that you can love without reservations and that you know they will love you back the same way...#Really is the good stuff‚ and what I'd wish both Akutagawa and Chuuya!!!#Like I love the concept Akutagawa complaining about Atsushi to lie to himself that he's in love with him but like.#The concept of Akutagawa coming home and SINCERELY complaining to his husband Chuuya about that weretiger for once he GENUINELY despises–#is admittedly endearing. And that's what Chuuaku is all about to me!!!!!#Coming home to a person you love. Finally having found your place in the world– a place where you can be happy.#I could talk about them forever

How is "reality boils down to belief" fascist? Genuine question, you're a smart person and I want your opinion.
I'm gonna be oversimplifying here so bare with me:
Sometimes I feel like people these days think of fascists like bullies from a movie. They see the dedicated fascist mind as something almost knight-like; a rigorous machine dedicated to things like duty and honor and strength and cruelty.
The experience of being a fascist is a deeply, deeply emotional thing. Hell, a common mantra in alt-right circles is "feels over reals," meaning "evidence cannot truly be evidence if it makes you feel disgusted. Your internal experience of the world is the ultimate metric of truth."
And this isn't a recent idea. Fascists have always been obsessed with the concept of individual willpower. Read: the idea that if you don't get what you want, you didn't want it enough. If you tried your best and didn't reach your goal, it was due to a fundamental weakness of your will.
Humans are not logical creatures. Part of being human is being irrational, and making space for other people when they are irrational. But a massive -massive- part of being a fascist is actively and gleefully ignoring reality to a self-destructive degree. Might makes right, so whatever makes the mighty feel good must therefore be right.
I am not exaggerating when I say "reality boils down to belief" is how fascists see the world. Anything that makes them feel good is true, and anything that makes them feel bad is false. That is how they see the world.

CONCEITED HOT GIRL VAUNT
Tumblr media
♡ I have such a hot girl mentality fr. I have the perfect mindset and self concept. My confidence is top tier. My self esteem is top tier. I have such strong and unshakeable faith in myself. I have such an unshakeable sense of self. I know who I am and I love learning about myself everyday. Growing and evolving everyday is constant for me. I am the ultimate icon for self concept and self confidence. I have that song Jia, Dylan James and gojo satoru type of confidence. I am relaxed knowing I am the best. I am slightly cocky and conceited but if you were me you'd be conceited too.I don't need to prove anything. I don't chase I attract. I have that idgaf mindset, and it's literally so hot!?!?!. I literally don't care!?!. People's opinions don't mean shit to me, because I know deep down they wanna be like me or be with me. I only care about my own opinion and the people I truly care about. I am highly secured in myself, it's laughable if I think id  ever doubt myself. Because I am me duh. Something as silly as competition doesn't even exist, because there's only me. I am already a winner, I am already chosen even before I step into the room, I'm already a prize that is a given.
♡ Everyone is literally so obsessed with me, why wouldn't they? I'm obsessed with me too. I am literally one of one, I am number one, I'm the only one, I'm one of a kind, I am one in a billion, I am once in a lifetime, I am the first best, I'm the best, I am the blueprint, I am top tier, I am Unmatched, I am unforgettable, I am literally a goddess, I am the prize, my presence itself is a present, I am too precious, I am too priceless. I am everyone's favourite, everything. I am everyone's top pick. I am everyone's first choice. I am a priority. I am secure in myself and I value myself. When I look in the mirror I fall in love with myself a trillion times more. Of course I believe in myself supremacy. Being obsessed with myself is too normal for me. The only validation I ever need is my own. No-one can be me. It's only me. I win in life just by living and existing. ♡

Do you think part of the D20 journalistic bias comes from D20 being edited? It gives the appearance of much more effortless play and lets them control the pacing in a way unedited play like CR simply can't do. They get to (potentially) hide a lot of stuff people would jump on as flaws while CR has no choice but to let it all play out. I greatly prefer CR's approach, despite it biting them in the ass a bit through no fault of their own.
Tumblr media
Answering these both together to group cause and my opinions, and I do want to note this is specifically about journalism/press coverage, not their respective fandoms even though there's obviously some overlap.
I think there's a couple things, but I do want to note this was actually prompted by Daggerheart, not Critical Role. The response from several prominent voices in the Actual Play journalism community, whom I will not name here but whom I do not respect intellectually, really was, within hours of the open beta (which as far as I know they didn't have early access to - more on that later) "um it could be better, I don't like xyz and also it's sooooooo important to have criticism" and again, it is important to have criticism, but also you act like D20 has never had a mediocre moment and that Kollok is brilliant, so.
This...got away from me a bit. I'd say I'm sorry but actually I adore writing thousands of words about actual play and it will happen again but I'm putting the detailed answer below a cut. The short answer is I think a lot of Actual Play journalists actually sort of fell into their jobs through being vaguely involved in nerd spaces and aren't actually equipped to talk intelligently about TTRPGs and actual play as a medium that should, at its best, be a perfect fusion of narrative and mechanics. So instead they're distracted by flashy edits and bright lights and cool noises and some abstract concept of "novelty" and write only about that. Also Critical Role is the 700 lb gorilla in the AP space (though not, actually, the TTRPG space) and doesn't give them early access and that's meaaaaaan. Indeed, for all I think a lot of their coverage of D20 and Worlds Beyond Number is obsessively fawning, I also think it's extremely surface level, frequently factually wrong, and fails to get at what's truly excellent about those shows either.
I think, honestly, the biggest one is that I don't actually think a lot of Actual Play journalists watch series in full. I was looking for Polygon coverage of Fantasy High Junior Year and they have one glowing article but it's more about Fantasy High as setting and institution and D20 "changing the game" (also more on this later) to the point of outright contradicting the pull quotes they used from interviewing Brennan Lee Mulligan (also more on this later). So I started looking through their coverage and actually, quite a number of their write-ups are based on only one episode, or half a season. Clearly, they haven't read the full open beta (nor have I, but I think their complaints about the character build process belie a profound misunderstanding of what TTRPGs are, also more on this later). So editing is certainly part of it because it's really easy to see cool special effects and sound design within one episode and shit out a hacky article about it, whereas actually getting to the substance - character relationships, cohesive narrative, storytelling - requires work that I do not think they're doing. And on the one hand I do kind of get it, because yeah, if journalism is your livelihood then you perhaps do not have the time to watch 4 hours of D&D a week for 2-3 years if you're only going to get one article every six months out of it. But I don't think the answer is "focus intently on Microsoft Powerpoint-esque scene transition tricks while ignoring that nothing occurring at the table is actually fun to watch." For more on this, see this post.
The second, which is very relevant to Daggerheart but also is actually a big gap in D20 and WBN coverage in my opinion, and which I put in the tags, is that I actually don't think a lot of journalists have a solid understanding of TTRPGs nor of most genres. And I think Critical Role has a particularly good understanding of both these things, actually, if one skewed towards collaborative storytelling that is not rules-light. I think one really big example is that one person within the space is mad at the Daggerheart questions for the character archetypes because what if your character doesn't fit these. I think this is dumb as shit. I actually think that a common criticism of D&D - that you can't play ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING - is not valid, or rather, it's a valid opinion to hold but if you want to play a character who doesn't fit into the available archetypes perhaps you need to find another game. We all inherently understand that Blades in the Dark characters will be members of a criminal organization in a relatively low-magic setting, correct? That you can't show up to BitD and play a lawful good wizard prince because that's not the story being told? Or like, how in Honey Heist, you are a bear and you are trying to get honey, and you cannot play a human child investigating the old abandoned house at the edge of town, but there's a cool game called Kids on Bikes that will let you do that? Great! Why is this suddenly so hard to understand in the realm of heroic fantasy, that you will fit into specific archetypes? Why do people's brains, if they have them to begin with, vanish suddenly? I know I just did a big old rant that included this within it but genuinely I think a lot of people are deeply ignorant of heroic fantasy, or don't like it, and either is fine, but then they get mad at the heroic fantasy game for having heroic fantasy archetypes when the answer is "maybe this will never make you happy because it's not for you." (Frankly, I think this is also why they love D20, because it doesn't really do straight-up heroic fantasy, and that's fine, but they do keep acting like doing a Game of Thrones pastiche is equivalent to the invention of the wheel.) Like...I remember in the Midst Q&A that Xen said they tend to not like playing typical D&D classes, but their solution was to, you know, create Midst instead of sitting around going "actually, because D&D doesn't support cyberpunk narrative and the character archetypes within very well it is an utter failure." (I could go on forever about how actually TTRPGs are not a showcase for your already extant OCs to prance around but that's a totally separate post).
Mechanics and story are inherently intertwined, is what I'm trying to get at (sorry I'm really tired and have a lot to do but I'm passionate about this answer, it will be rambly, she says like 3 pages in) and I really don't think most actual play journalists get this. At all. And I do think that CR, and Daggerheart, and the people working for it, and especially Spenser Starke, Rowan Hall, Matt Mercer, and Travis Willingham, get this more than almost anyone else in the field. I also think Brennan Lee Mulligan and Aabria Iyengar get this, and the thing is, for all the praise showered upon them, much of which I think is deserved and most of what I think is undeserved is not because they are lacking but because the person writing about them is an idiot crediting them for things they (Brennan and Aabria) would never claim to have invented, their mechanical prowess is rarely if ever written about well. Fantasy High Junior Year's downtime mechanics actually fill in a famous gap in D&D, namely, downtime, and provide an excellent marriage of story and mechanics in my opinion, and I haven't really seen any discussion, because that would require watching the part of the TTRPG show where they play the TTRPG, and knowing the vague word on the street about D&D criticism that isn't just "*nods sagely* capitalism is the BBEG."
And finally: related a bit to the edit but Critical Role used to not be able to provide any early access to press, because it was literally a live show, and I suspect they never broke the habit, and I think that is for the best. As discussed a lot of D20 coverage actually feels like they watched the press screener and then never returned to the show. And I do not know the politics about them, but given that several of these publications (notably Polygon, but some others) have been shitting on Critical Role for several years, and just generally given the way CR's leadership vs. how D20's leadership respond to fandom pressure, I suspect Critical Role does not give these journalists a ton of early or increased, if any. Honestly, why should you, if you're getting interviewed in Variety? And I think the journalists are mad, because they think they're special and should get treated as such.
I do want to wrap something up, and I want to thank @captainofthetidesbreath for talking a little about this in game design/ttrpgs and giving me the idea, but in story, you should be challenging your audience, expanding their horizons, and being new and interesting. In the actual playing of TTRPGs, especially a new one, it is vital to be inclusive and easy to understand and patient and provide points of reference. I really feel like many Actual Play journalists and some TTRPG ones as well have this equation flipped and are looking for challenging concepts that most people will never be able to get a group to be willing to play, and bells and whistles in production, but leave story as an afterthought. Critical Role designs games to actually be played and to be used specifically to tell good stories, and puts story before production, and I think that undercuts those journalists' whole deal.

Hands down wanna see yandere Darkrai being overprotective of his human who healed him (in a Pokémon platonic way ) 
Here's your Darkrai!
Overprotective! Darkrai Concept
Pairing: Platonic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Stalking, Overprotective behavior, Kidnapping, Forced companionship.
Tumblr media
Simply meeting the Mythical Pokemon was (un)lucky enough, let alone getting close to it.
Darkrai seems like a Pokemon that rarely shows itself.
It's sometimes depicted as evil due to it giving those around it nightmares.
Yet it only does such a thing to defend itself.
Other than that it's said to give people “dreams” in the Pokedex.
Not nightmares all the time, according to the dex it implies it also gives dreams, which is what I'm going to go with.
You meet Darkrai by chance, the Pitch-Black Pokemon resting from a wound.
Maybe it got into a fight with Cresselia or something?
Either way, you accidentally find Darkrai and go still.
The Mythical Pokemon stares at you, blue eyes scanning your form for aggression.
Despite its elusive nature and strength, it's still nervous.
Trying to soothe the Pokemon you pull a hyper potion from your bag.
The Pokemon appears to be judging the item before relaxing.
You hesitantly step closer and the shadowy Pokemon allows you to get closer without putting you asleep.
Soon you become close enough to spray the potion on the Pokemon to heal the wound.
Darkrai watches you carefully to see what you do next, but you merely back away.
You're intending to allow the Pokemon to also back away, however instead it puts you to sleep.
You then wake up at home in confusion.
You don't expect to meet Darkrai again due to the rarity of the Pokemon.
However, your first meeting just increases your likelihood of seeing it again instead.
Darkrai now trails behind you in your life.
You're never truly alone as Darkrai follows you closely.
The Pitch-Black Pokemon feels indebted to you after you healed it.
So while you may not know it, you have a Pokemon ready to aid you.
Darkrai may silently stalk you for a long time.
It could even be years later before you see this Pokemon again.
You always sensed some sort of presence, your Pokemon did too, but you never thought anything of it.
When you meet again the tables have turned.
You're in a life threatening situation, only for there to be a large dark void… before you succumb to the darkness.
When you awaken you notice you don't have your Pokemon.
Are you… even awake?
You can't make anything out.
All you see in front of you is a shadowy Pokemon.
You soon put together that it's Darkrai and are greatly confused and scared.
You have no idea what's going on but Darkrai seems calm.
The Pokemon then makes its way to you before rubbing the top of your head.
You may not know it yet… but you're trapped in an eternal sleep.
It took you away before putting you to sleep.
It doesn't wish to cause you nightmares… it only wants you safe since you helped it.
Unfortunately… the whole situation, especially in the Pokemon's arms, is a nightmare in itself.

@disneyanddisneyships Mal alter ego lore???
As far as we know.. Venice is the "What if" character of mine. What if she never encoumtered Lilly again? What it she had nothing to live for? What it the Mal we know turned into a different person? Completely?
But.. if I had gone with Venice.. what would her life in hell be like? We know Mal, she worked for Val before Aponi took over, she owns a small bar, the overlord of luck. She owns selfish greedy souls. She makes deals for the people who want things that satisfies them but will never make them truly happy. She also has a basement hideout in case of extermination.
But Venice. What do we know about HER?? Just the evil version of Mal?
I'd like to make a difference. (Ehe)
Venice. When she first got to hell as Mal, deal-making wasn't easy. She decided to use the things she was good at in her advantage. Singing and killing. So she gained power by it, inly a few, though. Owning souls by deal-making with the promise of everything they want from her. That, or hypnotizing people with her snake into selling their souls, which occurs at small bar concerts.
Then she saw the Vee's. She dreamt big. She ained for the top. So, as her talent, her fanbase, her popularity grew, it caught the eye of a certain rectangle headed demon.
She's a trickster out for chaos. Many people don't know why her songs and her in general is very addictive. The reason why is because they sold their souls, and they didn't know.
She met Vox, who snuck in her dressing room to praise her for her work.
The bitch was ready to get more power and influence with the Vee's since the leader approached her directly.
She became an overlord.. finally owning millions of souls as the years went by and the population of hell grew even more.
I think her personality is more like Velvet from Trolls 3. Exclude the "fake talent" because I think Ven is very talented. She's a greedy, selfish, fake popstar idol who only does things for applause and fame. When someone finds something out about her that she doesn't tell the public, she'll have the vee's back her up by hiding evidence of her killings.
I think my voice claim for her (and mal) fits very well because I'm looking for an "ear candy" type of voice.
As for her rs with Vox.. with Mal, it's enemies to lovers slow burn, but with Ven, it's buisness partners to friends to lovers slow-burn because although there could be chemistry, there is also distrust and manipulation going on between the two.
Idk I just feel like the "worshipping celebrities/idols" thing would fit Venice's concept very well. Like the obsessive behavior, the stalking, the fans defending their idols at everything they do wrong because they lose morals over their favorite singers.. I just feel like she'd gain souls that way.
So we have the Vee's now, who cater to everyone's obsessions/addictions.
Velvette - social media
Vox - gadgets
Val - p^rn
Venice - idolism/fame
I love villains

LOVE ALL PLAY. - ITOSHI RIN
Tumblr media
TWO - ANNOYANCE
contents. one kys joke, swearing, nsfw jokes / mention (again, it's just me writing shidou as a typical high school boy), smau component :>
Tumblr media
"Two nil."
You remain facing the front, just to avoid getting caught by the teacher for speaking in class again. But regardless your whisper is aggressive, full of energy and Rin doesn't have to see your face to comprehend the smug expression you were most likely donning.
The teacher smiles ever so slightly. "Well done y/n."
Rin glances to the side as the teacher goes back to scrawling on the blackboard, teal attempting to capture what was happening without drawing too much attention.
Oh how he wishes he could wipe that shit eating grin on your face.
He scowls at the sight of you. "The fuck are you on?"
"One from running the other day. The other from just now."
With a scoff, indignation rolls his eyes. "Correction: You did not beat me. You interrupted practice like the little shit you are."
"I won."
Rin hisses, careful not to be louder than the teacher's lecturing. "We weren't competing. And I never will. Quit being delusional."
Now, neither of you are bothering with remaining unnoticed by the teacher. "Why so defensive? You scared?"
"I have no reason to be." He scoffs. "Midget."
"'Course you resort to making fun of my height. That's how you know you're truly losing."
Suddenly, Rin's arm shoots up, to which the teacher addresses instantly. "Yes, Itoshi?"
"Because war literature's purpose is to illuminate the dictatorial essence of warfare, the injurious effects it inflicts on entire communities and the brutal changes it forces upon generations. The author utilises a form differing from the traditional novel, as visual representations can express what words cannot." It takes a lot not to smirk at the impressed gasps buzzing around the classroom, as he controls his voice to sound passionate, but not obsessive; calm but not emotionless. "Adopting a different form of literature simply allows the author to amplify and convey their ideas in a manner they desire."
By now, all eyes were on him. It's oddly exhilarating, he knows very well this moment doesn't compare to the 'point' you scored earlier.
"Very impressive, Itoshi. Please maintain that effort for the rest of the year."
Rin smiles, one that displays appreciation evidently, whilst being polite and not excessive. "Thank you sir."
"What the hell was that? That came out of nowhere, I thought you weren't paying attention as well."
"One point for a sufficient answer. Another for being 'very impressive. And one for every classmate that turned to stare." Satisfaction blossoms inside of him, he'd take a photo of the way shock paralysed your features and capture the moment forever. "First set's mine, and you didn't score shit."
"You don't get to decide that."
Indifference pulls his shoulders into a shrug. "You insisted on earning two points for your delusions. I'm just stating the obvious."
You're sweating, because of summer's insolence but Rin liked entertaining the idea that it was you getting flustered. A hand reaches your face to fan it. "I'm not delusional you're just crazy. Did you even understand what you just said, Mr 'dictatorial essence of warfare'?"
"Yeah." He replies, as if he simply didn't memorise synonymous words with an intelligent complexion. "Did you?"
Rin doesn't miss the exasperated roll of your eyes. "Obviously. You can't hide a simple message behind fancy words. All you had to say was that literature's form changes the manner of how it illustrates a piece's concepts."
"Only an average Joe would be satisfied with an answer like that."
You grumble whilst copying down notes. "And only an idiot would feel the need to hide behind obnoxiously long words."
He imbeds sarcasm into his tone. "I can't believe an honor roll student would say such things to a fellow peer. Anyways, hurry up and admit your loss."
"You know, I hope you trip over and ruin your uniform in the dirt during training today."
"And I hope you melt into a sad puddle, in the same way Hiori's ice block did."
Restraint disappears, as you raise your voice. "You—"
"l/n. I'm about to send you out into the hallway if you don't behave. That applies to anyone else in this class." Rin feigns innocence at the teacher's scolding, maintaining stoic composure. Conversely, you seemed to find it difficult to do so, apologising to the teacher.
Victorious, Rin whispers. "Second set. One nil. My way."
For some reason, you were oddly calm now. "Your fly's undone, by the way."
His eyes widen with alarm, glancing down and realizing too late that you were kidding. By then, his well sustained equanimity had gone out of the window.
"You fucking—"
"Itoshi. Get out of my class."
Tumblr media
"Rin Rin, please help meee."
As if automatic, Rin frowns at the nickname and Isagi's pleading, pausing from his drink break. "With what?"
"Literature. I didn't understand a thing you said in class today..."
Neither did he. "Read 'The Book Thief'?"
Isagi pouts. "I did. But I don't see how sir reached his conclusion while analysing it."
Rin doesn't even bother looking at his teammate. "Same." Instead he watches Shidou and Bachira (an irksome pair, Rin thinks) argue with Reo over a goal, as Yukimiya attempts to serve as a mediator.
"Huh?"
"What? It's not that hard to reword the things sir says and what you find on the internet."
The older player narrows his eyes. "You're a liar, then."
"Excuse me?"
"You told y/n you knew what you were talking about. Behind your wordy answers is just a search history filled with synonyms."
Rin scowls. "It's not a lie. I do understand what I'm saying."
"You're prideful in things other than soccer too... I mean I can't say it was unexpected." He places a (sweaty) hand on Rin's shoulder. "It's okay to be bad at something, you don't have to be perfect." Isagi was being genuine, though he was treating Rin like a stubborn five year old.
Yielding it as a weapon, Rin grabs the towel draped around his neck, trying to hit Isagi with it. Instinctively, the victim dodges it, barely in time.
"Fuck off—" Rin yells, recoiling the towel to smack Isagi again. "What are you on this time?"
"It's okay Rin Rin, we support youu." Isagi doesn't even take Rin's anger seriously, effortlessly dodging his towel, agile and quick on his feet. "Self esteem issues are valid no matter what. You and y/n are equals no matter what."
The use of the nickname and the mention of you only fuels his anger, Rin doesn't give up, but neither does Isagi. "Don't compare me to that little shit."
"Should be stop them..?" Reo asks Nagi, who was for once, not hyperfixated on his phone.
"Nah. This is funny." He dries the sweat soaking his fluffy white hair, Rin notices it from the corner of his eye. "Do better, Rin."
"Shut up the fuck up, Nagi." Rin chases Isagi (who seemed to be having a great time), around the side of the field.
"Sounds like a skill issue to me." Nagi yawns. "Cope harder." This time, he yells it out loud. "Reo, how much are you betting for Rin to hit Isagi?"
Gaze averted, Reo doesn't even bother watching their quarrel. "None, because it's not going to last very long." He points in the other direction. "Coach looks pissed."
Rin takes notice of this too, it was beyond too late to pretend nothing happened, as he halts his movements. So does Isagi, bowing to Ego when he approaches the two.
"I leave for five minutes and you idiots are fighting." He runs his fingers through his straight bangs. "You're packing up today. Try something like this again and I'm removing you off the starting team."
Relief washes over him, thanking Ego silently for a second chance. "Yes sir."
Ego dismisses the rest of the team. "Isagi. I was referring to you as well. Go help Itoshi."
"Pardon?"
Their coach glares at him. "Don't try to act innocent. I already know you well enough as the type to be annoying. Anyways, don't forget to lock up. Get home safe too."
With that he leaves, murmuring something about teenagers being irritating, and after the events of today, Rin couldn't agree more.
"This is your fault." Rin says, as he collects the cones.
Isagi doesn't bother teasing him. "Yeah, yeah, sure. Get this done so we can leave quicker.
Though he'd never admit it, Rin agrees in silence, exhausted at the antics he had to tolerate today.
Tumblr media
It's late at night when conversation stirs in the group chat, Rin texts with one hand while the other dries his hair.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hair now dry, Rin flops into his bed, face landing in his pillow. He can't stand practice with Shidou, let alone a full studying session where he's the focus. He hasn't known him for long, yet is already sick of him and his jokes regarding his older brother.
But from a logical standpoint, it was a good idea. He's hopeless on his own, only literature permits utilising the art of bullshit to pass, and he refuses to ask for a proper tutor; they're expensive and Rin doesn't intend on going to tertiary education.
Just do it for soccer, Rin thinks to himself as he drifts off to sleep, drained from today's chaos.

Identity(V) Headcanons: Norton Campbell
I'm starting off the writing blog with some of these character analysis-esque headcanons! (Starting with Norton bc he's honestly the reason I made this blog.) They'll serve both as practice for me, and examples for any readers on how I write different characters.
Again, I am new to the IDV fandom, and I have never played the game. These headcanons are informed by ongoing lore dives sourcing the wiki, japanese twitter responses, comics, stageplay, and more! Some of these may relate to or even contradict character backstory, and some of them are just pure vibes for me. If you like it, consider shooting a request ;)
Tumblr media
-Norton had always been a moodier guy, but the mining accident (and the lack of mental and emotional support he received after it) resulted in a much more obvious split of his temperaments. Without trying to put a name to something I’m no expert in, Norton has two distinct personality states which are both aware of and inform one another. The First is the more common state, wherein he is more level-headed, but prone to melancholy and isolation. His melancholy tends to be more intense after an episode with his Second state, wherein he is very likely to exhibit anger, mania, and cynicism. Likewise, his Second state tends to be more critical when he’s been uneventfully mellow for a good while. He tries his best to balance and regulate the two, but this particular emotional roller coaster is one he never had any say in getting on and has never had any assistance getting off.
-The First state typically lasts longer than the Second, sometimes stretching several days at a time. During the First, he’s at his most amicable and chatty. This is the best time to get to know him as a person.
-When in his Second state, which is usually triggered by something that reminds him of the accident, it’s better to give him a wide berth. Even in the case of a friend or partner who has thick skin and handles harshness well, Norton can become hypercritical of himself for being cruel to them.
-His mother died in childbirth, leaving Norton with only his father, who also worked himself to an early grave. Norton had to start working immediately to keep himself fed (and sometimes didn’t even manage that) so he has next to no education. He does not read or write especially well. He is also not particularly tech savvy and struggles with new concepts. That said, he's never been one to back down from a chance to improve himself, difficult or otherwise.
-Norton was mostly genuine in his visits to the elderly and sick. Many of them were other miners and laborers who helped him find his footing after his dad died. Their help may not have amounted to much in the long run, but they didn’t just look the other way and he understood the loneliness they felt on their deathbeds.
-The one exception to this was Benny, who Norton had also once looked upon in an appreciative light…until he learned how to read. It was then that he scoured his father’s old letters and discovered an infuriating truth: after the birth of Norton and the death of his mother, his father had been about to leave the mining industry. Benny was the one who convinced him to stick around and join the obsessive hunt for gold. It was through a mix of spite and desperation that Norton decided to swindle Benny out of his maps and take the chance at riches for himself.
-Norton does not talk about the mining accident. At all. Not even if he’s paid. Part of it is self-preservation—since he IS the one who stole and illegally ignited the explosives. The other part is that he is well and truly wrecked with guilt. Norton did not get along with most of his coworkers in those final days, was bullied and harassed by them, but he wanted to get ahead of them, not kill them.
-Because he’s been self-reliant from such a young age, he’s naturally distrustful of other people. He has trouble accepting people at face value and often rejects compliments, and other words of affection. He’s the embodiment of “actions speak louder than words.” In general, if someone wants to get closer to Norton they have to put their money (and their labor) where their mouth is and show a lot of patience. Any genuine relationship with Norton is hard-won.
-In line with the above, the best love language to give Norton is Acts of Service. Physical Affection would also work well once you reach a certain threshold in his trust. Gift-Giving is a decent third, but you would need to tread lightly here, lest he start to see the budding relationship as purely transactional. Holidays and birthdays are the best time to really go in on gifts for Norton, since he has a harder time arguing bribery with culturally dictated gifts.
-He genuinely does not find himself to be attractive. I wouldn’t go so far as to say he’s insecure, as he really doesn’t think about it much, but he’s least likely to accept compliments about his appearance. The burn scars certainly don’t help. If you do compliment his appearance, it’s better not to mention the scars at all than to try and make him feel better about them.
-He wholly, genuinely, hates the rich. Which is obvious enough, I suppose, but I think it’s more extreme than people give him credit for. And really it just comes down to unadulterated jealousy and bitterness, which are not easy feelings to overcome.
-Norton is of the opinion that all life is equal—and when he’s at his most cynical, this means he’s willing to take the balance of “an eye for an eye” into his own hands.
-His sweet tooth is limited to donuts and a few other carb-y baked goods. He prefers savory flavors, or sometimes bitter, such as in the case of his black coffee. He doesn’t eat as much as you might expect for his size, but he always eats quickly, and hunched over his food like it’ll be taken away. Old habits die hard.
-He has a terrible sleep schedule, due in part to frequent nightmares about the accident. He’s also somewhat claustrophobic and dislikes pitch-black spaces, so a window is a must in his bedroom. He prefers to have it open whenever reasonable.
-He doesn’t do well with thunderstorms, as the rumbles of thunder sound too much like the beginnings of a cave-in.
-If he has one singular strength, it’s perseverance. Hardships don’t deter him because he’s seen and overcome plenty. He’s a loyal friend as well, once completely won over. If he cares for you, you’ll never have to tackle a hurdle alone.

So a question I'm curious about: how do you battle morality with thoughts? You say often that your thoughts are morally neutral and it's your actions that matter (and I agree!), but one thing I struggle with is figuring out if there's a gray area there. Like, for example, say you think to yourself "I think he's stealing" when you see a Black man at the store. It's a thought, so it's morally neutral, but it's also a deeply racist one, making it wrong. How do you personally reconcile with those two realities, because it's really making me wonder just how morally neutral your thoughts can truly be when they're influenced by the society around you.
Your thoughts are not "you". You do not choose to have them. It really is worth thinking of thoughts as just a thing that happens in the background of your mind rather than some important revealment of who you are and what you stand for.
Your thoughts are a byproduct of cultural conditioning, media you have seen, recent experiences, flawed and fucked up and biased pattern recognition, logical errors, deep seated fears, fleeting emotions, and even the ideas and concepts that youre trying MOST to suppress (because what we suppress tends to come back even stronger, look up the research on ironic rebound). Thinking is more of a random association generation process than anything willful and intentional, or even meaningful. A lot of thoughts are meaningless or fucked up nonsense that you can just ignore.
It's not "wrong" to have a racist thought, morally speaking -- it is a thing that virtually all people in a white supremacist culture have. People have thoughts that disturb them often, and it does not make them bad people. Focus on your behavior, and try not to get stuck on obsessing over these thoughts. In fact, you can expect thoughts that you dislike to happen from time to time for the whole entire course of your life. It's just part of having consciousness.

fic rec friday 47
hello and welcome to fic rec friday! where, on friday, i rec five of my favourite fics.
Damnit, Pidge by spirkylurkey
Pidge has some top-secret-classified-don't-tell-Keith-info that she accidentally lets slip to, you guessed it, Keith. Lance is an embarrassed mess. Keith isn't faring much better, to be honest.
this one made me LAUGH the way that this all pidge's fault and she's literally like. well. you shouldn't be so gay then. and she's right!! they're so dumb i love them
2. Operation: Faking It by @writeonclara
“What the hell, guys?” Pidge squawked, wrestling away from Matt. “Why are you pretending to be a couple?” Or: Matt and Lance pretend to be a couple because Shiro and Keith are clueless as hell.
do you guys remember shatt?? i remember shatt. adashi will always have my heart but shatt will literally always be funny bc ofc thats ur fic name. anyways. this fic is mostly klance but the entire concept is just so ridiculously goofy that u have to laugh. do you like lance and matt? do you like fake relationship to real relationship? do you like inverted tropes? do you like pining? do you like comedic jealousy? then this fic is well and truly for you because it has all that and more
3. all's well that ends well to end up with you by @coruscatingcatastrophe
Keith's jacket gets ruined, so Lance decides to be a good Samaritan and give him his. This is the beginning of the end.
megan's fic literally make me want to eat cement i'm so serious. i've read and been obsessed with TONS of her stuff but this one???? this fucking one???? oh god the slowburn kills me. the blossoming realisation that oh god we've been dating this whole time huh. the CHIVALRY...............a romance novel in the truest of senses and i am going to fry
4. as long as it won't separate you from me (i'll be fine) by @coruscatingcatastrophe
A little intrigued—not that she’d ever admit it—Pidge begins to climb the stairs. But before she even reaches halfway, the door—slams shut. All on its own, or so it seems. Pidge pauses, brows creasing in confusion, as she turns to look down at her dog. “Did you see that?” she asks. Peculiarly, she notes that Bae Bae’s fur is bristled, and he growls at the door before barking twice. That’s weird. Bae Bae never growls. Turning back to the door, Pidge feels unsettled, but she tells herself not to jump to ridiculous conclusions. There’s a logical explanation for everything. Maybe there was a gust of wind from the air conditioner, or the doorframe isn’t level. Whatever it is, she’s going to figure it out. - Or, a Beetlejuice au (kind of). Pidge isn't a fan of her new house, Lance and Keith are the ghosts haunting her attic, and together they hatch a plot to convince Shiro and Adam to skedaddle out of the house. There may be demon summoning involved. But seriously, Adam. Getting your hair set on fire really isn't that bad.
HAPPY (late) HALLOWEEN!!! ive been thinking about this fic all october and finally let myself reread it. ive never loved beetlejuice more than when i read this. it's so fun!! so interesting!! pidge gets a chance to shine!! klance are so!!! the way it had the story of beetlejuice but adapted well!! im!!
5. never thought i'd see the day in my life by @coruscatingcatastrophe
But Keith has somehow gone even paler in the short amount of time he’s been at the table, and he shakes his head. “No, something is . . .” His gaze flickers back to Lance, and he’s startled to find that Keith’s eyes are purple. They’ve got to be contacts. Ridiculous. As if the mullet and gloves and personality weren’t enough. Keith pushes away from the table abruptly, looking incredibly put-off now. “I, uh—gotta go,” he mutters, before angrily gathering up the backpack he’d dropped into the chair next to him and storming out of the cafeteria. “Huh,” Hunk says. “Well, that introduction could have gone a bit better. Don’t take it personally though; sometimes Keith’s just like that.” - Or, a Twilight au starring Lance as Bella, Keith as Edward, and the rest of the Voltron gang as themselves. Lance is insufferable, Keith is awkwardly trying to figure out why Lance is the way he is, and along the way they fall in love, or something. It's probably, definitely the best love story since Twilight itself.
now ive never read twilight and i refuse to on principle. but i didn't find this one creepy and instead it was super fun and dweeby and lance is indeed a ray of sunshine, thank you megan for noticing, and it turns out when the story isn't a hetero mormon wet dream it's actually a good time!!
that’s it for today!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!

what do you think people get wrong about vale on here?
oh boy, i hope this doesn't get me too much hate
it's more like tiny specific things rather that one big thing but i'll try to make it make sense. and it's only partly related to rosquez.
for example i really don't like when people act/try to make it look like vale cares less than marc about racing or doesn't really care in general because that's just wrong. it may surprise you but people act like marc is the only "obsessed" rider there is cause of his personality (and he is but not the only one). vale has this carefree, happy peter-pan persona but i think it's partly his way to deal with the stress, he is one of the most methodical and analytical riders there are and he remembers every single detail about every race (luca is very similar to him). this side of him becomes very clear if you watch his interviews.
related to the not caring -> people (with no ill intent) assume that he's a social butterfly and is friends with everyone and no one. i think this is partly true but not because vale is fake (he might be a little, yk no mindgames). i truly believe vale is a very lonely soul. he has many ghosts and regrets. obviously sic's death has affected him but also his idol's death (norifumi abe), his parents divorce and his relationship with his dad that forever changed and later nicky's death. -> "it's hard to find words when all you feel is a big void, goodbye nicky💔" it's what he posted after his death.
i general i think with his life and his losses (i'm counting marc in there) valentino struggles more and more with trusting new people and this makes a lot sense with his relationship with uccio -> childhood best friend, practically a brother considered the worst part of him by many but also his protector: of valentino not vr46.
vale's connection to tavullia is so strong he based the whole academy there and created job opportunities for so many of childhood friends/people of his town. he never forgot where he came from and always wanted to give back to his community who has loved him since the beginning. i think this aspect of him is very overlooked.
another friend of vale is cesare cremonini, a singer who wrote 46 back in the beginning of 2015 and it's heartbreakingly sweet. it's clear vale was struggling mentally and this songs was a way to pay homage to him.
Quando il mondo corre va più veloce di me Sai che lo sarei andato a riprendere Lo sarei andato a riprendere
When the world runs it goes faster than me You know I would have gone to get him I would have gone to get him.
Io le sento ancora addosso le paure
Gli occhi di mio padre, le ossa rotte
Ma poi la musica che ho dentro sale
Ed io so solamente andare
Vado via per salvare un po' di me
L'asfalto sembra fatto di plastica
Ed ogni corsa è l'ultima per me
I still feel the fears on my skin My father's eyes, the broken bones But then the music inside me rises And I only know how to go forward I'm leaving to save some of myself Asphalt looks like it's made of plastic And every race is the last for me
i think vale is a very hurt man with a lot of strust issues and would die for those he loves but also knows how to be very cruel.
and thinking about the academy also, the concept it very heartwarming, especially how much the boys love him and each other but it's hurts to think about how hard it must have been for him and how badly his first times as a 'mentor' went (with il sic and marc). and how different the academy and vale and his career would be if marco was still with us.
going back to rosquez i think for people it hard to empathize with both of them at the same time and i get why but i think vale cared about marc a lot and that's why it was so bad... vale wasn't just mad he was hurt and that's why uccio was so protective and horrible towards marc. vale (from his point of view) felt betrayed too. rosquez is this sad cause they're real people with real flaws and feelings.
but obviously i'm not an expert and this is just my opinion 💗

Bringing back their childhood friend

Please if you like my work don't forget to reblog/interact with me♡ Minors, ageless, blank blogs, and silent readers will get blocked if interact with me.  ➳ Characters: Jing Yuan, Blade
Tumblr media
⤠ Yandere Sampo HCs ⤟ HSR Masterlist ⤠ Yandere Blade Drabble ⤟ 
Tumblr media
anon requested: I think the concept of a yandere with a child hood friend darling is so interesting, especially if they’ve grown so apart. Jing Yuan, Blade, and their friend all growing together and being mentored by the same person, but having to take different paths. If they stray to far, why not drag them back? Even if their friend comes kicking and screaming. If your comfortable can you write a similar scenario? Sorry if this is so specific I love your writing :)
...well this took some time. I'm so sorry for all the old requests that I still haven't finished, I am working on those I promise!! I am, I truly am. Also sorry this is so short and bad? I couldn't find the right sight for it, if it makes sense lmao
✧˚ · . Blade
Tumblr media
His obsession runs deep, maybe too much. It has been so much time where he didn’t see you, and now everything has changed. He changed for starters. You probably won’t even recognize him with how much he changed, the old Blade is now dead and buried. Blade wonders what happened to you after all those years, did you change too? Did you managed to live a peaceful life without him? What if now you have someone else in your life, that is important how he once was. 
Blade would have to kill them. No one can have you expect him. 
Tumblr media
So when he finally sees you from afar, while doing a mission with Kafka, he almost can’t believe it. He has to make sure its really you so of course he has to stalk you, making sure you are as you remember. But.... But you changed; what now was life when he knew you it was gone, as you know settle down in a more peaceful and calm life, and you look happy without him something that makes him angry, did you forget about him already? He will have to show you to what exactly you have missed. 
“It’s been a while now hasn’t it” 
“Is that… Who, who are you?” 
“Don’t worry about it” he says, taking out his sword and getting closer to you with a smirk appearing on his face. “You will remember soon.” 
“P, please, don... Don’t hurt me...” 
“I won’t. Not if you are good” Blade continues, sword dangerously closed to you, slightly cutting off pieces of your clothes. “And you are good, aren’t you?” 
You nod, desperately so- with the sword so close to your throat you have little to no choice but say yes, feeling like your life is now into the hands of this... Stranger? You don’t know. You couldn’t help but think that it was your childhood friend, your beloved friend who you had a bit of a crush on, but you accepted time ago that it was long gone and you had no choice but to move on with your life, to simply keep going. But maybe it wasn’t the truth, maybe truly the stranger right in front of you was once your best friend that you so dearly missed... 
“Good. Now lets go- we have things to discuss.” 
✧˚ · . Jing Yuan 
Tumblr media
Time passes and it can be both slow and fast. He hates how, after everything it happened, he kost sight of you and couldnt find you anywhere. You were like a ghost from the past he couldnt get pass, he couldn’t forget about you no matter how much he tries. You were everything Jing Yuan thought of, and, no matter how much time has passed, he hasn’t stopped searching for you. Because one day you will make a mistake and reappear in his life, and when you do he will drag you back into it, no matter how much you try to run away. 
And you do your little mistake: you finally reappear on the Xianzhou Luofu. Finally. After all those years, you finally decided to come back to the place where you belong. And he’s so overjoyed, so happy when his guards come back with this beautiful news Jing Yuan can’t help but immediately go back to you. 
“Jing Yuan?!” you almost scream when you notice the figure basically running towards you, unsure about whatever or not you should run away from the man or just stay there, letting him back into your life like nothing has happened in those past years. But, unfortenely for you, he is much stronger and faster than your thoughts. 
“Oh, how I missed you...” he says, his arms holding you closer against his chest, his head on yours. “But its okay now, you are with me. Back home. Don’t worry I--” 
“N, no! I don’t wanna go back Jing Yuan!” 
“Why not?” he asks, genuinely confused as he looks at you, arms still around your body not letting you escape. “This is what you want, no? You wouldn’t have come back here if not to come back into my arms, I am wrong?” 
“W... Well...” he was right, in a way. You knew what was going to happen once you came back to the Xianzhou Loufu, you knew. So maybe in truth you always wanted it? To come back to your childhood friend's arms, like you once did?
