natsume soseki did not say "don't say 'i love you', instead say 'the moon is beautiful tonight, isn't it'" FOR NONE OF YOUS TO WRITE IT INTO UR FICS!!!!!!!!

#BSD FANDOM ESPECIALLY!!! HES OUR GUY!!! HES THERE!!! #i say this very loosely bc like idk how it went #its a rumour that he said this right #but like fomr what i remember #natsume soseki was an incredibly talented translator but i think he preferred writing original novels #but he was one of the pushers of colloqusalised translations rather than direct which was more popular at the time #so one of his students came up to him w a novel translated from english to japanese and in part of it #one of hte characters said 'i love you' #BUT apparently natsume said that wasnt very realistic in japan due to cultural norms (iirc) and saying ' i love you' would seem too intimat #therefore instead of saying that #say something like 'the moon is beautiful tonight isnt it' #ANYWHO USE IT MORE!!!! i watched a kdrama a while back that used that (hype bc the premise was they were at a publishing firm) #and hwen i say ive never thrown myself across the room harder #pretty pretty please use it also do not take this story time as truth im stupid as fuck and also could be completely wrong but im p sure #thats how it went idk #FHDSJKF #lea.txt #bungo stray dogs #bsd #sobbing violently #bungou stray dogs #natsume soseki

but it is extremely funny that when mal finally gives up the ghost and says something about the a at the end of his name the only reaction he gets is jade going "dat's nice :) 👍" and polly going "yeah yeah whatever. huh i'd be cleaning the toilets right about now"

#like several gender/sexuality reveals in mr retroactively change the context of EVERYTHING that came before but mal is just like. ok #still he/him-ing on principle its not even what i personally think but like with mal. im with polly on this one #like happy for you buddy but like 9 people have come out today. i think i gotta clean the toilets tomorrow #monstrous regiment #maladict #the way people play it fast and loose with pronouns when discussing mal online is so incredible to me like thats #thats exactly what happened in the book. it doesnt even matter you know SOMETHING is going on there #discworld

I like how Levi and Gortash break each other's boundaries all the time, but somehow it's fine bc it's them.

"Integrity is all and good and I'll fight teeth and nail to keep it. But also if my husband decides on some incredibly major thing for me, I somehow do not really mind."

This is an unhealthy dynamic what works wonders for them.

Gortash plans their wedding without as much as informing Levi of it. Levi is practically dragged to the altar.

Levi makes Gortash immortal by interweaving their lifespans and making sure one can't die while the other is alive (he uses the wish spell). Gortash only finds out about it 15-20 years later when ppl start to notice he doesn't fucking age, and also several assassins' attacks what should have been fatal left him with just some more scars to wear. People whisper their achduke is unkillable.

Gortash creates the genius little implant for Levi's eye bc he hates seeing the mark Orin left on Levi's face and hates even more Levi using Raphael's eye as the prosthetic eye.

The tricky part is what the implant should change along with Levi's body when he shifts into wild form. It won't do for his husband's head to explode because the prosthetic eye is too big for the bird's head.

He tries it on several test subjects until it's perfect. It's both a great gift and a claim over Levi's body; the eye is also a tracking device and basically works as a scrying eye.

Levi doesn't even ask about possible tracking installments and waves it off with a laugh when Wyll brings it up with concern.

Levi kills people he thinks are unnecessary in Gortash's life, regardless of Gortash's opinion on the matter.

And so on.

#dark urge: levi #durgetash #the dark urge x enver gortash #dark urge x gortash #durge x gortash #also levi is incredibly INTO body horror. he looses a body part and it can't be restored by magic? #he damn sure races back to his husband all excited bc ENVER IT'S SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU. DO THE THING YOU DID WITH THE EYE #ENVER WHY ARE YOU UPSET? #while Gortash looks at like half of a limb of his husband missing and prays he doesn't kill the idiot himself #tbh Levi's regenerative abilities are on the top so it only happens like 500 years into their marriage #but still #gortash looking at the only person but noah he actually prefers to keep their flesh: why are you like this #levi: hmm...bhaal probably. so? give me a hand here #gortash: *groans*

I sort of like the thought that Zuko and Aang take the Sun Warriors' warning not to tell anyone about the dragons a little more seriously… and they keep it between them. Of course, they trust Sokka, Toph and Katara. Of course they know they wouldn’t tell anyone, but now three people (including Iroh) know the truth about Ran and Shaw. And that’s three too many when you’re trying to keep a secret.

(and there are other people at the temple as well - like Haru, Teo and The Duke - who, while trustworthy, aren’t as close to them as the others, and when it comes to secrets with as much consequence as this one, you can’t afford to take any chances.)

Furthermore, the culture within the Fire Nation since Sozin’s rein has been warped. The culture is not to respect the dragons as the original firebenders, it’s to conquer and kill them. It’s the ultimate proof of your strength as a firebender. All it takes is one mistake before rumour spreads, and people go looking for the ultimate hunt. It’s not something Zuko or Aang can risk.

Whether Katara, Toph and Sokka (and Suki) ever find out the truth is up to you. But post-war, after Zuko returns from a strange, poorly explained trip with a dragon, and eventually develops the ability to use rainbow fire, either the others have some questions about Aang’s knowing look, or they are finally let in on a monumental secret.

#it’s a kids show so i think for that reason it was played for laughs about keeping the dragons a secret is not necessarily a bad choice... #the show does that sometimes where it says something off hand and then leaves me lying face down contemplating ✨the consequences✨ of that #but there are some… implications there about being too loose lipped with the truth in leading up to the end of and immediately post #war fire nation. just because zuko understands the spiritual significance of a dragon it does not mean the rest of his people will. actuall #its more likely that they'd reject zuko's opinion considering that he's basically coming into power and then telling everyone that #they've been lied to their whole lives. the fire nation is drowning in propaganda. for a lot of people this opinion of dragons and #firebending's true nature being violence and destruction is all they know. fire is LIFE but to most people that's an alien concept #and in terms of keeping secrets - it’s not even a matter of trust it’s a matter of too many people knowing #you might not even realised you’ve revealed some incredible information to someone who has the means to spread it or pursue it #so… i think zuko would be hyper aware of this. since he grew up hearing stories about the 'glory' of dragon hunting #and since iroh has also made a concerted effort to keep this information hidden i think it makes sense he’d be very hesitant to let it #get out to the public #aang would agree i think esp if zuko explained the importance of hiding them even from loved ones #ALSO random but it also makes me wonder what the fire nation said about roku in wake of the war #he had a dragon but he didn’t kill it. he didn’t ’conquer’ it #sozin would have had to work his ASS off to reframe history as him being the more… loyal(?) patriotic (?) of the two #did he frame it as roku didn’t have the courage to kill a dragon??? that he lacked the strength of a true firebender? #the avatar works hard but sozin's propaganda machine works harder 🧍‍♀️ #zuko #aang #avatar the last airbender #zuko & aang #jack talks #sun warriors #book 3 #what is it with me having a whole separate post in the tags 👁️👄👁️

(mgv) OAUUGHHH lawrence and adam rooming together out of the hospital because it's made VERY CLEAR that they need each other close and safe after the trap. like @lucradiss said, they had to be moved into the same room because even after the smell of blood and shit and fear were cleaned off of them, their distress scent -- raw and unfiltered "NEED, COME BACK, DON'T LEAVE, WHERE ARE YOU, NEED YOU" -- was palpable enough to send their respective floors into a state of unease. and adam's being evicted, and tensions are high between lawrence and alison right now, so....

their new place doesn't scream "doctor's salary" but it's not a shithole either. one floor, too. at first they're in separate rooms but..... lawrence hasn't slept alone in years, and not having adam as close as possible still gives him some unease (if he can't see him how can he be sure he ever came back for him, got him out of there, let him live). he doesn't even get a chance to wheel by adam's room before the man himself is slipping into his. "keep seein' shit in the shadows. think i gotta take the door off my closet."

lawrence grants him half his bed easily. he also learns fairly quickly that adam is a funny sleeper. he burrows and squirms relentlessly in his sleep until he's nearly sideways with his head on lawrence's ribs. one time he woke up to adam sprawled bonelessly across his middle, slightly crushing him but mostly just endearing himself to lawrence.

the point of no return for Feeling Something More for adam was when diana stayed for the weekend. they hit it off well in the hospital already, so he wasn't worried about that. no, it was simply how much adam worried about making her feel safe there, because it might be her dad's place, but her dad has a roommate now and they didn't meet under fantastic circumstances. he doesn't want her to see him like zep, like some stranger in a home that isn't his.

(it is his home, though.)

he's trying so hard for this eight year old who's been through some shit, he wants her to like him, to be okay with him being there, and it chokes lawrence up if he thinks about it too hard. it feels a lot like a binding point between his old life and his new one. he loves them. he loves him.

diana learns what a 'pup pile' is that night. she has no siblings to pile up with, so she never got to learn, which just Isn't Right in adam's eyes. so that night adam stuffs them into their bed with the pillows and blankets from his old room they'll convert to be diana's, says, "three's not much a pile, but we'll work with what we got, right?" and hustles them into something comfortable, twined and piled on each other.

and if lawrence cries a few happy tears that night, well, he's allowed some by now, isn't he?

#saw #chainshipping #LUCAAAA YOUR TAGS GOT ME THINKINGGG #lawrence and alison probably were bondmates before but over time as the passion died it just faded #and they never got it back enough to renew the bites #and then adam starts being nervously domestic when diana comes around #even when adam starts being a bad influence (term used loosely) lawrence is like Wow #lawrence also isn't an alpha who can purr but if he could it wouldn't take much to get him going with adam around #smitten. that's the word. smitten with him #best part is that when adam is with diana he doesn't even realize he's showing desirable traits #alison's a FANTASTIC mother but she's a little detached from her instincts #(she strikes me as the type who doesn't like the whole sort of primal thing that comes with being in mgv) #(maybe she'd be a beta then idk!! that might be cool actually) #so when adam gets to teach diana something she doesn't know regarding them he gets jazzed #“oh hell yeah i can deal with this!” (displays traits incredibly attractive to prospective mates) #lawrence never stood a chance and that is my decree #mgv

fun fact! when you have a much bigger fandom you have a lot of casual enjoyers who just like to look at art and don’t want to curate a presence in it!! stop guilt tripping people over reblog ratios consistent with every massive fandom on this platform because it was different when it was a small fandom!!! holy crap!!!!

#talking #discourse #loosing my mind over people showing incredibly good reblog ratios for this sized fandom and throwing fits over it #like. Oh My God you are not entitled to reblogs chill out #ive tried not to say anything for so long but i just cannot stand this anymore #so many grown adults on my dash acting like entitled assholes #oblivious to the fact this complaining and Actual Threats only makes people want to reblog their art less #this behavior is actually insane

i could write a 100 page essay about what a fucking masterpiece warframe is. i will write many words in the tags. please readem if you want my 'tism.

#ive been playing on and off since 2019 but its only recently when i dumped destiny 2 (probably for good) and picked it up #to fill the grind-shaped hole in my heart #that i have uncovered just how FUCKING INCREDIBLE warframe is #everything about it makes me incredibly autistic #from its masterful utilization of an incredibly styled and individual soundtrack full of absolute bangers #to its seemingly unique understanding of how and why an MMO is special to and because of its players #and its truly special story- a uniquely human take on the “post-ruin scifi” tale #it knows exactly how and when to yank on your heart to make you weep like a baby #and it knows exactly when you're going to get angry and want vengeance #and it knows when to let you let loose and unleash hell #SPOILERS FOR THE NEW WAR AHEAD #IF YOU THINK YOU COULD PLAY THE GAME PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO #SPOILER WARNING #i think the narmer corruption of fortuna was genuinely one of the most gutpunchingly horrible moments ive ever experienced in a video game #i started playing when fortuna was already in the game but the story of fortuna and vox solaris was really what made warframe stand out 2 m #i would drop into the orb vallis as gauss and dash around doing bounties and fishing and mining because i really loved everything about #fortuna and wanted to spend as much time there as possible #for me vox solaris was my proudest achievement (in warframe.) to say “i helped that! i did that!” was an incredibly good feeling #the story really spoke to me on a deeper level #and vox solaris has always been my favorite faction as a result #so to do absolutely everything that i could #to lift together with my tenno brothers and sisters and yet STILL fail? #and to have it rubbed in my face by the corruption of the greatest shining pillar of hope in the warframe universe? #felt like i got kicked in the stomach #i felt sad and angry. but most of all i was DRIVEN. #which is GOOD. because RARELY does a video game present you the “you lost” scenario and have it feel not only satisfyingly painful #but MOTIVATING. #my only complaint with the new war is that i didnt get to hack ballas to pieces by myself #i had real flashbacks to running around helping people as gauss while approaching the final boss with erra #and to step onto the ballas arena as gauss prime. i nearly came from the narrative significance

#not really a vent - just a quick thought before i sleep but like. #i keep thinking about that post #theres no way ill find it now but the gist was that 'joy is a warning bell to neurodivergent brains' #and how when we feel joy it means we've loosened up and that always leads to a problem -- #whether its getting to be Too Much or saying the wrong thing or even just getting physically loose and clumsy #but it conditions the brain to see joy as something to fear #because relaxing means we're about to fuck something up #and ive been doing so well this year keeping up with and calling people #ive felt more social lately #literally everyone has been so incredibly kind to me and i want to express how grateful i am and how much i love you all #but every time i try to i get so choked up with fear #with each wave of happiness comes one of chest-squeezing fear #im not super upset or anything (its nice to know why its happening) i just wish i knew how to unlearn it ya know 🤷‍♀️ #thats all - time to sleep #its so late -_- #awww its my pals birthday now!! earth day birthday :') too late rn but ill text him when i get up #rose rambles

no one look at me i’m being sappy abt xarrastarion. anyway i can’t stop thinking abt astarion embroidering little fragments of xarrai’s poetry or songs on his clothes post-game like the one that larian patched out of the description for his camp clothes. smth abt keeping them close to his skin always… the way he starts to learn who they are when they start showing him the things they’ve never shown anyone else and the comfort he finds in their words (despite giving them so much shit every time they wax poetic at him). i’m ill. xarrai calls him a hopeless romantic and he tells them they have no room to talk bc they’re a fucking bard. he stitches their words into the cuff of his sleeve in thread just barely a different color from his shirt so he can ghost his fingers over them like a talisman against the dark and the weight of his memory. years later there’s a love song xarrai won’t outright say is about him embroidered in it’s entirety on the inside of his winter coat where it lays against his chest.

#the prerequisite for this tho is that xarrai dumps a box of loose paper in his lap and hands him a book of keys for the incredibly #convoluted cyphers they wrote everything in because they are extremely paranoid #and just tell him ‘okay have fun :)’ #‘no i’m not going to help. hope ur ready to learn infernal btw :)’ #they r so annoying. #they stop writing everything in code post game. eventually. but there are 15 years of backlog to get thru first lol #obvs astarion does keep embroidering their poetry and songs on his clothes after they die. btw. obviously. #does a bard ever really die as long as someone remembers their stories? #bard/astarion romance goes so hard forever. poetry lover married a poet. #r. hold me like a knife #漫言

Art from Mundus Carnis, a geiger-esque biopunk worldbuilding project by Screeble on DA.

I'm a huge huge fan of their art and writing and worldbuilding, have been for years. They did some fantastic work in a collaborative spec evo forum game I lurked.

Which have lived in my head ever since.

#spec evo #spec bio #biopunk #worldbuilding #body horror kinda #and some of the other MC designs are...not very safe for work #or life #but that's a side effect of being Geiger inspired #screeble #deviantart #god primordial evo games were so fun and cool I would love to do one with some friends #started with some incredibly basic mspaint blobs as like the original organisms and each post could add a little more to one #eventually we got sophonts and societies and shit like the Lufae and their fungal biotech #I'm using we very loosely there I contributed like three posts before I got scared lol #but god I followed the threads religiously once they got going #and I've stolen stuff from them for my tabletop campaigns for years #the Lufae especially I immediately started using as my go-to underdark-y species #which makes their alien vibes that much cooler when compared to like...an elf

I could play one of the most beautiful well crafted video games on the planet and it will never be as appealing to me as one that kind of sucks shit but has soooo much potential

#merlin.txt #just finished cyberpunk #i feel like they could have done sooo much more with the concepts they had #the game showed us a bit of everything in the world but i dont think they explored any one topic enough #and they pulled a ton of punches. the ending did not feel like this big 'grab your allies and fuck the corpos' thing it shouldve been #it was mostly just tying up johnnys loose end. one big loop. which i fuck with; but it wasnt rlly anticapitalist at all in that sense #i have a bunch of other thoughts on johnny but ill save it #but god. the beginning (act 1 and the first bits of act 2) where just soooo fucking good #and it rlly felt like it was going to gear up into this huge thing instead of just being one last hurrah for rogue and johnny #AUUUGHH theres just So Much Potential. goddamn #imo i think the major thing is that at some point it stopped being v's story. it was everyone elses #he has Very little agency. which is interesting but man this guy deserves better #when it comes down to it the game Is really shallow. whenever there is any sincerity in themes its very centrist #the fact is you dont rlly meet many characters in game who are Truly working to take down corps except for johnny and he doesnt rlly count #and if there Are its usually played for irony and laughs (looking at kerry) or theyre flat out kind of awful. #judys story is probably the best of the companions bc shes actively trying to help sex workers and its played very positively #i also think two of the main themes (letting go of the past; what it means to die) are Majorly helped by some incredible emotional beats #and w/o some just Really Really good scenes and good repetition of lines and motifs its very tropey. #ok i wasnt going to write a full thing. but let me be clear: i fucking loved this game. i would not be writing so much if i did not love it #the sun ending was Still soooo vindicating. v is still kicking and that's all that matters to me #(it helps that v is a Great protag like one of the Best voiced rpg protags next to hawke da2) #(which is kind of a funny comparison since i think both protags suffer from a lack of agency) #ok im done now
