Most straight relationships in media: “Even though there's no development and no chemistry and we don't look like we love each other that much we'll date because we're straight and that's what we're supposed to do. Right??”

Most queer relationships in media: “If saving you is a sin, I'll gladly become a sinner.” — “Dying together also included a ‘together’.” — “You changed my destiny from the moment we touched.” — “I would know him in death, at the end of the world.” — “The hero and the warrior were like the sun and the moon...”

#fucking queer people man.... #why must they do this to me #you reached your hand out to me on that day #you changed my destiny from the moment we touched #you're the most important person in my life #if saving you is a sin... i'll gladly become a sinner #goodbye. kiana #honkai impact 3rd #hi3rd #scum villain self saving system #svsss #the song of achilles #tsoa #lego monkie kid #lmk #kiamei #bingqiu #patrochilles #shadowpeach #avis' post #lgbtqia

A moment of respite

As any self-respecting Zane stan, of course I've seen Decoded. And of course I loved the sweet but subtle character moment of him being bashful and awkward when Jay brought up the statue.

For the longest time, I've always interpreted this moment as Zane being his typical humble, bashful self. And while I'm sure that's true to an extent, recent events from Dragons Rising have led me to consider an alternative interpretation.

If I may bring your attention to this quote from DRpt2:

"Zane had impressive shoes to fill. No one could live up to him, maybe not even Zane himself."

I dunno. There's just something about the fact that Zane's own legacy has outgrown him, that he's overshadowed by the memory of his past self, that rather than a testament to the love his friends and community have for him he instead sees the statue as an insurmountable burden he can never hope to live up to...

Which brings me to yet another blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment from the Shadow of Ronin video game (I know it's canon-ness is debatable, but hear me out for a sec)

While everyone is gathered around Nya and speaking to Borg via hologram, Zane is...gone. He's off in the distance, standing at the base of his statue, just...staring at it.

God, and when you add this all up to Zane's Ice Emperor baggage...yeah.

#it does of course lead me to wonder about the scene in s4 #where everyone is trying to rally community support for the war effort #and zane gives his lil speech at the base of his own statue #id like to think zane had simply chosen to speak at the park only to discover 'oh hey weird theres a statue of me' #bc its not like anyone wouldve had the time or consideration to tell him about it considering everything else going on #that moment when youre trying to rally civilians to help you fight an army of snake warriors and you accidentally run into your own memoria #'well one of is is going to have to change :/' #ninjago #destiny post

My opponent just called upon the Oracles and scattered most of my pieces across space and time. Does anyone know the best counter in this situation?

#destiny 2 #chess #These are the last words of D-File Pawn the Undefended #I have destroyed myself to do this. They have taken my Knight on E5. They are in my blood and brain. But now there is hope #I have made a wound in their defenses. I have pierced their back rank and let in the Light. #From my own Light and the thinking flesh of the black pieces I made a Queen. The Queen is your deliverance. #It will check the uncheckable. It will prevent their mate in 3. #Bind yourself to the Queen. Bind yourself to me. And if you abandon your purpose; let the board consume you as it consumed me #Now it is done. If I speak again; I am not the D-File Pawn

find me in my cave going insane over the design potential of a half-formed human-hive godling. the way her mouth moves makes me think she can open the plates and really honestly she deserves a proboscis. and bug wings. and the concept of metamorphosis

#eris morn #destiny 2 #destiny 2 art #hive eris #this wouldve been more fun if it was permanent. let everyone struggle with the concept of sacrifice a little more please #the concept of giving up your humanity to SAVE humanity #body horror #bugs #bug horror #this was all done when the season was relevant and i just never posted oopsieee

something about desperately wanting to trust

#ace attorney #apollo justice ace attorney #ace attorney dual destinies #klavier gavin #kristoph gavin #apollo justice #athena cykes #indys art #so you know that one post talking about klavier I reblogged a few days ago well it really stuck with me hjkhl #there was one quote ''he refuses to see what his mind has deduced because he wants to trust so badly" and my mind would not let that go JKH #and couldnt help but notice that apollo does something VERY similar with athena in DD #obviously very different between athena and kristoph but idk theres something about going against your better judgement because you care- #and want to trust people you care abt despite everything #very fun and cool

in my head after the events of camlann merlin returns to camelot and, still riddled with terrible guilt and grief, confesses to leon about everything that had happened and everything he had done, magic and all. and instead of outrage or betrayal or scorn or judgement (or even death, as he had briefly considered) leon shatters him with a deeply apologetic expression and a whispered “my friend… you must have been so afraid, and so tired.” and merlin collapses into heaving sobs against him and doesn’t get back up for a long time.

#bbc merlin #merlin #bbc leon #sir leon #sir leon the long suffering #i know arthur forgave him #in his own way #but i don’t want merlin to be forgiven #i want someone to tell him he had nothing to be sorry for #i want someone to be proud of him #‘you always looked so small then’ leon tells him several centuries later #‘i never could figure out what great burden could weigh you down so much’ #‘destiny is one of the heaviest things i’ve ever felt’ merlin says #‘heavier than despair?’ leon asks him ‘heavier than grief?’ #‘the only thing heavier’ merlin replies ‘was being left without purpose.’ #merlin writers really said merry christmas!! your gift is trauma

Hmmm just gonna spit this headcanon out in text post form since A. I don't think I could exposit it well enough in image form and B. It's not actually textually/thematically substantiated and I don't like actually staking my stuff on just vibes alone*

But anyway. I'd say it's pretty evident that all the islanders forgot their names, right? King obviously. Because why the hell else would he do that, but also Siffrin No Middle Names No Last Name.

They're 'pretty sure' they've 'always' been 'Just Siffrin' 'as long as they can remember'. It's a pretty cruel twist of the knife to say that they don't even get to keep their birth name as a memento, which is why I'm saying as such.

My utterly unsubstantiated claim is I think it'd be cute to say that Sisyphus *is* the name Siffrin initially picked, assuming the myth of King Sisyphus is recontextualised as idk, just a play or something in the setting. But I like the idea of Siffrin going 'oh shit 🫵 he's just like me fr' at a tortured fictional character long before the irony kicks in.

As for how Sisyphus -> Siffrin. I think that chronic mumbler and emotional doormat Sif just did not correct people who misheard the name during their time travelling, and went through enough places with incompatible phonologies (pronounceable sounds in the language) without ever really writing it down that it just got kinda. Changed until it was unrecognisable, and Siffrin just went with it until the earlier pronunciations slipped out of their swiss-cheese brain. And they just kinda don't remember any of that.

Also, something something the horrid realisation that Siffrin also named themselves after a King. Just not as blatantly.

*(though I think there's something here about Siffrin, a guy from a belief system that seems to thoroughly disincentivise autonomy and self-motivated choice continuously having their hand forced to make changes/choices they don't want but have no choice but to... It's not solid enough to really back this up tbh, but it informs it.)

Anyway.

#theres also something one of my french-speaker friends said about siffrin's official pronounciation being the feminine way to pronounce -in? #which i dont know enough about to really corroborate and theyre busyyyy and havent started the game yet so i cant really ask #im sure someone else has already voiced this easy-to-come-up-with headcanon anyway but just in case nobody has i decided to post it #isat #isat spoilers #in stars and time #isat siffrin #isat loop #i also personally picture sif (and loop especially) being more hostile to the concept of changing themselves after The Encounter #both of them being big grudge-holders and that 'want' to control your own destiny being clearly against how they interpret the universe #as for whether they should be so hostile? probably not! but they appear to be anxious in fear of some kind of divine retribution should #they like. ever even dare to Want. and uh. well. that certainly went well for Loop. not sure they'd be gung-ho to do it again #so Loop being able to go 'oh well it wasn't my REAL name' as a salve for having to make a new identity AGAIN.... #while sif is explicitly clinging to it as an anchor for Who They Are If Nothing Else.. they can upset each other and also mirabelle i think #lucabytetalks
