#obviously she misses Gil they all know that

[littlelesbianintern]

My thoughts on episode seven of Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies:

- Rizzo being Gil’s younger sister makes so much sense. no wonder she’s such a menace in the original films if she’s got him for a brother!

- also does this make his name Gil Rizzo?

- i loved having an episode which focused on the boys but definitely want my girls back next week. I miss them <3

- this episode gave so much more depth to the guys though and I really appreciate that. Gil having loads of sisters and having to be the man of the house and support his family, Potato trying to care for his father, Shy Guy realising he doesn’t have to be who his father wants him to be, Richie’s unhealthy coping mechanisms, THESE BOYS MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME

- including Buddy in the boys episode was a great idea because it presented this interesting dichotomy of Buddy vs the T-Birds. Obviously Buddy’s feelings are valid, but presenting the issues he’s facing vs the problems the T-Birds are dealing with really puts it in perspective.

- BUT BUDDY DIDNT TELL JANE ABOUT THE ELECTION!!!!! WHY????!!! EVERY TIME HE HAS THE CHANCE TO DO THE RIGHT THING HE DOESNT ITS SO SELFISH

- look I appreciate that he likes Jane but his intentions seem selfish. the difference between richie and Buddy when they turn up at janes door. Richie turns up with a genuine apology and gives her the chance to answer on her own terms. Buddy almost does the right thing (which would be giving Jane a genuine choice) but then does what he knows benefits him even if we can tell he feels guilty about what he’s doing

- the comedy between the t-birds is unmatched

- the scene where they’re all comforting each other was so sweet <3 it really shows how loyal to each other they are. it also gave me the same vibes as the scene between Kenickie and Danny in the original film (you know the one I mean???)

- all that was Richie trying to work out he was in love with Jane??? DUDE WE COULD HAVE ALL TOLD YOU THAT IN EPISODE ONE

- gil likes olivia so much i need them to get together soon please!!!!! the guy is down helpless

- the guys helping shy guy with his one line was adorable. and then them being his biggest supporters at the play 🥹

- also that last shot of richie vs buddy??? This is going to be so interesting i can’t wait for next week

Two slight twist on the yandere SVU ask where the reader get pregnant after a one night stand. What if instead of informing the guys, the reader for whatever reason is unable to contact them.

First scenario, so the yanderes don't find out till she's a little while along with the pregnancy, like she's showing.

Second scenario, they don't find out till the baby is already born. Like she has a baby with her in a stroller that looks awful like the them.

Like she tried to contact them but was unable to for what ever reason (maybe she didn't have their number and the guys were dealing with a long high profile case that maybe took them away from new york for awhile) , and they run into each other and they find out depending on the scenario they find out either she's pregnant (a couple months along) or that she had their baby (the baby is with her in a stroller). If you dont mind writing both, can you do both scenarios for it.

Thanks for writing the original, I really enjoyed it.

scenario one: they find out late in your pregnancy

Rafael doesn’t waste any time. he’s dragging you to lunch and signing the unborn baby up for the wait lists of the best private schools in manhattan. and he’s helping you write your resignation letter and cajoling you into moving in.

Nick feels a streak of pride. he’s going to be a father of three? he’s getting you to hang out with Gil and Zara so you start adjusting to taking care of his other kids, which you’ll also be doing after the baby comes.

Sonny is elated and brings you to meet his family right away. you’re his future wife! yep. surprise. sonny isn’t welcoming this baby without a ring and a wedding to match.

Mike is blindsided but nonetheless excited and starts preparing you right away. he warns you of his dad and how overbearing he’ll be, but Mike is going to be a helicopter dad, too. obviously he learned from the best.

————

scenario two: they find out after you’ve had the baby

Rafael is completely taken aback. this small child looks just like him, and he didn’t even know of their conception. Rafael is terrified of being a bad father and is pissed you couldn’t find a way to tell him the news. he’s going to gradually lure you into his arms and never let you go.

Nick already missed out completely on Gil’s childhood and was in and out for Zara’s, so when he finds out it happened again, he’s pissed. you and the baby are going to wake up at his house with no chance of ever leaving.

Sonny feels ashamed that he’s already so late to being a father to your little one. he’s going to fight for custody which leads you both into his waiting and loving arms anyway, and he can’t wait for the baby to bond with all their cousins.

Mike can already hear his father’s disapproving voice in the back of his head, so he doesn’t wait to act. he’s going to invite you over and crush up sleeping pills in your drink. he plans on having another few kids and he doesn’t want to miss anything else.

Okay I’m glad we can cry about the vow au together, because if Thena’s going to keep remembering things when her sweet and precious Gil makes her a treat I might just never stop asking for it 😭 would love to read more, whatever you think comes next i’m happy to read!!!

"Sweetie?"

Thena looked up from her pillow. She looked particularly miserable, which made sense; she had never done well when sick. "Hm?"

Gil stepped into the guest room with his tray in hand. He nudged the door closed before setting it down on the dresser, "how are you feeling, hon?"

Thena blinked her glassy green eyes at him, "I'm sorry to make you take care of me like this."

Gil just shook his head. She had no memory of him nursing her back to health when a flu took her down hard after their first trip together. Her first cold with him as a couple when she kept insisting he couldn't see her with her runny nose and blotchy fever skin. Even when she had some bad periods that could make her growly.

She thought of herself as a real lioness, but he couldn't help but think of a plush, ragdoll cat who kept hissing at him.

He leaned forward, kissing her clammy forehead. "I think your fever's broken, at least. Did you get a little rest?"

Thena just nodded, pulling up her knees under the covers so he could sit on the edge of the bed. "Did you apologise to Ajak for me?"

"Hey, come on, people get sick, it happens," he chuckled as he patted her knees. "I have some time off to use, and she understands. They can do without me for a few days."

"I don't know how true that is," she muttered as he retrieved the tray. She straightened her legs again so he could stand it up over her lap. "Your customers will be missing out on your perfect croissants."

He grinned, offering her the mug of tea first. "And my seasalt vanilla fours?"

Thena's smile turned soft and a little shy. He was elated, though--ever since their first date and their kiss, he had been excited to see how they would continue to progress their relationship.

"Here," he whispered, adjusting the platter he had brought with him. "I made you some homemade chicken soup, nothing too heavy. I boiled the chicken in the broth, like Hainanese chicken rice. I gave you a little side of rice if you wanna dip it in the broth, but don't force yourself. Some cucumbers, but they're not pickled because I don't think it's good for you if you're sick--I guess I don't really know."

Thena tilted her head at him, her hair rustling against one of the many pillows propping her up. She kept insisting she looked awful, but he thought she looked as beautiful as always. "Thank you."

He sighed a little, trying not to make it obvious that he was mourning a time when this would be natural for them. But he adjusted the little cilantro flower he included on her napkin, "in sickness and in health, right?"

Thena's expression changed, but she gave him one of those gorgeous smiles that used all her teeth and picked up her spoon, "I suppose you're right."

Gil looked around the room, standing to pick up the extra blanket she had picked off in her sleep, as well as some pajama changes. It was hard to tell how messy she could be at times based on the polished appearance of his wife, but he liked picking up after her (most of the time).

"Gil?"

He looked back at her as he folded up the blanket. She had her big sad kitten eyes on again. "What's up?"

"You're not going to sit with me?"

His face split into a grin, even if she seemed a little sheepish about it. He knew it wasn't something she would ask easily, and obviously she had kind of just let it slip. But he all but dropped the blanket and threw himself onto the bed again. "Of course I am."

Thena settled against the pillows again after he gave her knee a squeeze on his way to lying on his side to face her. "Did you eat?"

"I grazed while I was cooking," he excused easily. He'd had some rice and a few pieces of chicken, mostly concerned with getting the flavours right for Thena's weakened state.

Thena eyed him, nudging the dish of rice he had specifically described as optional, "I won't eat it all anyway."

That was true, she tended to eat less in terms of the starch of any dish. Gil chuckled, "okay."

Placated by him picking up the rice and using the chopsticks, she continued using the spoon to sip the broth. She was delicate about it. It reminded him of the first time they'd gotten ramen together--she'd held her hair back while taking delicate little bites the whole time. He'd found it unbearably cute while he'd guzzled his back in minutes. Of course he ordered another bowl so she wouldn't have to eat alone.

Thena's eyes watered a little, but he squinted. Was it just the general sickness, was it her fever coming back, was there too much ginger? She sniffled, putting the spoon down. "I know this taste."

Ah, his sweet wife. He put the rice down gently before reaching for her hand. "I make it for you every time you're sick. You know how to make it too."

"I do?" she asked, staring at him as if he'd suggested she knew rocket science. "Me?"

"Yes, you," he reached out to tap her nose, but she leaned away from him. "All you do is add the aromatics to the pot with the whole chicken, even you can do it."

"Hm," she remarked quietly, staring at the meal she couldn't believe she would be capable of replicating.

"I made it for you the first time you were sick when we were dating," he continued, picking up some cucumber for himself. "I surprised you with it, showed up at your doorstep--very romantic, y'know."

She gave him a look, definitely knowing that she - in the story - hadn't appreciated being ambushed.

"You told me I shouldn't have and that you looked awful, but I couldn't have been more in love with you," he sighed, fluttering his lashes at her. She rolled her eyes, but he could see her smiling just a tiny little bit. "I delivered this dish and we hung out a little. You told me I would get sick, I said I wouldn't, and you were totally right, I got sick the next day."

She tilted her head the other way and raised her eyebrows at him, unimpressed to say the least.

He shrugged though, still grinning. "But I didn't want to admit it, so I told you I was healthy as a horse and couldn't make our date that week because of a work emergency."

"Deceitful," she murmured, pursing her lips at it.

"Come on, just a harmless little lie, y'know," he pursed his lips right back at her, even hitting her with his own sad puppy eyes.

She looked back into the bowl and took a loud sip. He would take that as him being forgiven. "I remember you coming over."

"Really?" he sat up straighter.

She nodded, taking another, slower, quieter sip. "No one had ever done that for me before. I was so astounded. And the food was so good it made me want to cry."

"No crying," he whispered, keeping his eye on her now, watching for tears. Not that it wasn't a chef's dream to have people cry from their food, but this was different.

"Kari called me to ask how I was doing," she smiled more at the memory as it came to her. They were coming more often and at greater length. It was nothing if not encouraging. "I told her that this very sweet guy I was seeing brought me some homemade chicken rice. She practically slapped her phone in her hurry to tell me to 'lock it down'."

Gil made a face, stroking the hair on his chin, "she's wise."

Thena shook her head at him again, but he could tell she was falling for his charm all over again. "I suppose I followed her advice, didn't I?"

So much came to mind, but Gil leaned forward to kiss her forehead again, which continued to feel cooler to the touch, "I'm lucky you did."

Thena leaned into his affection. She had gotten more used to it as they continued to explore their relationship, and he really had the feeling that she was looking for more sometimes. He would save that for a time when she wasn't ill.

"You keep eating," he encouraged, moving the rice closer to her again in hopes of tempting her.

"But-"

"I'll get a bowl for myself and come right back," he promised, sealing it with a wink and everything. His wife gave him another look of feigned exasperation, but she was already waiting for his return, preciously clutching her rice to eat with him.

#Thenamesh Vow AU #yes I love writing sickfic #yes I am sick right now what's your point? #I'm so glad you're liking this au!!!! #please never stop asking for more of it #Gil excels at the in sickness and in health #obviously #but it's not just the big deals like brain seizures and hospital visits #it's also when she gets a common cold #Thena gets all grumpy and sour when she's sick #and Gil calls her his little umeboshi #he makes dishes that are gentle on the stomach but still nutritious #because the less time Thena spends being sick the better for both of them #Gil definitely thought it was really romantic of him that first time #meanwhile Thena is like fuck I look disgusting #meanwhile Kari is like dude this is like out of a romcom or something #Kari is out here like friends to lovers slowburn hurt/comfort 100k words #Thena: I don't know what that means

Nana! I need your guidance!

But how are you btw? 🤭💙

I need your headcanon, where Thranduil and Elrond is a bestie, but Thranduil is to arrogant to admit that he is cared for Elrond. And one day Elrond got abducted by some random dude.

What he would do?!

Love you btw! 💙

Hello, my dear @thranduilswifesblog!

I hope you're enjoying your little "period break"! We've missed you, so it's nice to see you back on here for a while. I was sick with a very nasty cold virus through most of your absence, so you haven't missed much from my blog at least!

Now regarding your headcanon request regarding our favorite "odd couple" besties, Thranduil and Elrond:

What would Thranduil do if Elrond were abducted or in danger?

I share your headcanon of Thranduil being fonder of Elrond than of any Noldor in all of Middle-earth history--with the exception of his wife (Queen Maereth). Proud and stubborn Thranduil never admits his affection outright, but it shows subtly in his actions around the Lord of Imladris, and the fact that he seems to enjoy spending time around him.

In SotWK-verse, Thranduil first met Elrond in the kingdom of Lindon, very early in the Second Age and not long after the War of Wrath. However, they barely interacted with each other because of the lingering hostility between the Noldor and the Sindar. Oropher and his people were not big fans of High King Gil-galad, despite being residents of his realm.

Thranduil and Elrond finally got to know each other better towards the middle of the Second Age. Their early bond was encouraged by Lady Maereth, who shares family history with Elrond and became a close friend of his while she lived in Eregion.

Before fighting side-by-side in the War of the Last Alliance, Thranduil and Elrond fought together for the first time during the War of the Elves and Sauron (SA 1693), which initiated their status as lifelong allies.

I have many more HCs about the friendship between these two elf-lords, but I'm going to skip all that to actually answer your question!

It would take an incredibly powerful foe to abduct Lord Elrond, so it would obviously be a serious crisis that will force Rivendell to summon every available ally for aid.

The King of Mirkwood and his family would be considered Elrond's most loyal and strongest Elven ally military-wise, and I would gladly debate anyone on this opinion.

Thranduil would drop everything to answer the call, initiating emergency protocols normally reserved only for members of his own immediate family.

Assuming this event occurs at a time when his family is still intact, Thranduil will rally all five of his sons to come with him and lead their army to Elrond's rescue.

I cannot stress enough how sending ALL FIVE Thranduilion princes along with the King into battle is a huge deal, and actually unnecessary. These Elven warriors are so skilled and powerful, it is overkill to have them on the same battlefield all at once. It has never happened in the entire history of their family. (You know how Legolas can kick serious orc-ass? Well, he's the "rookie" of this team. Imagine his older brothers and their Ada unleashed.)

In normal cases, only three princes at most are sent to battle at the same time. If Thranduil chooses to muster his entire lineup of sons, then he just wants to prove a simple, angry point: you've fucked with the wrong guy and now I will make you pay to the greatest possible extent.

Elrond in danger is definitely not considered a "normal case", so yes: Thranduil would deploy all his sons for the Lord of Imladris. There is no greater sign of love and friendship from the Elvenking than this.

Unless Elrond gives him a very good reason not to, Thranduil will insist on having the head (literally) of whoever dared to abduct or harm his (not-so-secret) best friend.

Thranduil will still never tell Elrond how much he cares for him. But the message will be received and seen loud and clear by everyone.

31. Do they drink? What are they like drunk? What are they like hungover? How do they act when other people are drunk or hungover? Kind or teasing?

32. What do they dress like? What sorta shops do they buy clothes from? Do they wear the fashion that they like? What do they wear to sleep? Do they wear makeup? What’s their hair like?

needed some gil content cuz i miss him so these are for him and maya as well <3

I decided to divide this ask into four parts bcos ya know I ramble on and on abt gil and maya

maya sakamaki drunk headcanons

as for maya... well, here's the thing. while I've mentioned maya doesn't drink alcohol, she actually got drunk once. and she doesn't even remember what happened. but she did not go wild tho.

it all started when one of the baking club members made chocolate liquor truffle testers and everyone must taste test them. so yeah, maya ate a few bcos it was so delicious and the chocolate was decadent (like perfect ratio of sweetness and dark choco)

HOWEVER!

it turns out the club member used some of maya's vampire juice and thought it was like red wine or something.

everything seemed fine at first like btch no one was harmed. so maya was walking in the hallway when a group of students were cornering this one poor girl for her number when one of them bumped into maya.

poor lad's about to complain when maya grabbed his necktie and pulled him down to her eye level, glaring menacingly as she said, "What the fuck are you doing flirting in the hallway? Can't you see someone walking? HA?"

I swear it was like this:

and everyone was so bewildered, especially when the guy was literally sent to the dream world and punished by maya's skeleton familiars. but after that, maya went on her merry way but the sbros knew something was weird cause she was more talkative. like waaaaaaay talkative.

would even defy reiji openly whenever he asks for something like she obviously murmurs and mimics his speech like a child💀💀💀

I swear the only thing that keeps reiji from killing her is her own husband

she also told kanato:

"Oi! You think you're so hot you can do whatever you want with me, huh?"

I swear Kanato has never been caught off guard like btch he was just minding his own business and his wife starts spouting nonsense.

"Er... Maya-san-"

"Well, you are. So hurry your ass up and do me until I can't walk!"

everyone at the manor be like: 😶🫢👀🫣🤯

but the next day, it was like nothing happened. no one talked abt it and they didn't even bother knowing the reason behind her actions tho.

in short: maya is a gangster type of drunk

but when it comes to taking care of drunk people, it kinda depends bcos most of the time, maya just gets the sht done while donning a deadpan expression as she carries them to bed and prepares a tray of food and anti-hangover pills on their side table.

but it's different with kanato bcos we all know kanato is a horny drunk, right? (based on vampire juice drama cd) so yeah maya would often stutter, fumble with her fingers, blush beet red until she looks like a tomato bcos kanato kept teasing her to touch him or undress him. would even lick her cheek and sniff her everywhere. LIKE HELLO POLICE THERE IS A HORNDOG RIGHT HERE!

but tbh their scenario goes like this:

ps. maya never got drunk afterward. and tbh she wasn't even aware she got drunk. nonetheless get that vampire juice away from her.

Spelled (Carlos de Vil x Sanderson Daughter) Descendants 3- Ch. 8: Second Chances

“So what happens now?” Celia asks in a bored voice. “Obviously Audrey’s not here so where else can we find her?”

Everyone turns expectantly to me and I want to shrink away. How can they assume that just because Audrey used me means I know every in and out of her plans? 

“She can’t be too far away,” Carlos says, and I give him a discrete, grateful smile. “The scepter wouldn’t be powerful enough from a great distance. I say we retrace our steps back to town and go from there.”

Ben and Mal share agreeing looks and start to lead us down the trail away from the cottage. Once again Carlos and I are at the end of the group, although this time it doesn’t feel as forced.

“I missed you, by the way,” the freckled VK says after a while. “I know you aren’t happy about what happened with… everything. But I think I understand now why you’re mad at me.”

Don’t, Carlos. Please don’t. Don’t rip apart the stitches I’ve used to sew my humanity back together. He probably feels sorry for me now. Understands that I’m still pathetically weak with emotions-

“Actually, Mal promised to let all the kids off the Isle when this is over.”

Evie’s conversation with Ben catches my attention. Mal’s actually going to do it? I’ll be able to see Evangeline! I’ll be able to set my mother free from the spellbook!

“I have to tell you guys something.” Mal stops in her tracks and avoids everyone’s gaze by staring at the dusty ground. “Um… I lied to you. The kids won’t be coming off the Isle.”

All at once every ounce of hope I’ve been gathering shatters and dies. It’s never different with Mal. Always the same lies. 

“What do you mean?” Carlos asks.

“The program is shut down. And the barrier will be closed for good.”

“For Auradon’s safety,” Ben adds.

Ben’s agreeing with her? Again? It’s never different with anyone!

“Hold up,” Uma interrupts and stops Mal with a hand on her chest. “So we’re saving your precious people and your behinds for a lie? I knew it was a mistake to trust you. You’re always out for yourself.”

“And you! King Ben, eh?” Harry gets in Ben’s face. “You’re probably just gonna throw us all back inside, eh?”

We all stare at her, waiting for an answer she might not even possess. Ever since Mal’s catastrophe with her mom she’s always wanted something to control, something to be comfortable with. Now she’s decided to take control of completely abandoning everyone on the Isle. Lord knows what else she’s been lying about.

“What about me, Mal?” I ask softly yet with a hint of warning. “Were you ever going to let me see my father again? Let me go home?”

“Of course, Sparks!” Ben tries to sound uplifting but he fails miserably.

I shake my head, still glaring at Mal. “I want to hear it from her.”

Mal keeps her head down. “I was planning for you to stay at the castle with us until we could help you control your magic-”

“Stop,” I cut her off sharply as I feel my walls start to crumble. “Just. Stop. All you want is for me to be locked away, just like everyone else in my family. You are the daughter of Maleficent. One would think you can hold sympathy for other VKs but you’re still the same backstabbing dragon.”

“You know what? I actually thought you were brave.” Celia walks up and I can tell she’s fighting back tears too. “But you’re nothing but a chicken too scared to tell me I was never gonna see my dad again!” She yanks the Ember out of Mal’s pocket and tosses it into a birdbath before Mal can stop her.

“Celia- no!”

The Ember sends out some sparks and then dies to remain nothing but a plain blue stone.

“Regain your might and ignite!” Mal tries to resurrect its power but it’s no use. Good riddance.

“Bummer. Let’s go find Gil and leave ‘em all to rot.” Uma and Harry each give me looks of apology as they walk away, but all I can hear is Mal’s lies swimming through my thoughts.

“Uma! Evie, I’m so sorry- I was afraid I was gonna lose everything! I had to protect everyone!”

“Did you know?” I ask Carlos, almost not wanting him to answer.

He exhales deeply and shakes his head, taking my hand to show he stands with me. “None of us knew, Magica. I’m just as surprised as you.” Dude brushes against our legs to show his own support.

“Closing the barrier was your idea,” Evie says coldly at the purple-haired queen.

“I did it for us! I did it for our life that we have here now!”

“For our life? What about the kids that we left behind on that island? The kids that we promised! We were their only hope. I thought you were gonna stand up for the VKs, but instead you lied to them. You lied to Magica. You lied to Jay, and lied to Carlos, and you lied to me. We’re your family!”

Mal still keeps trying to prove her side. “Evie- Evie, come on! I had no choice-!”

Crack!

A bolt of pink lightning bursts from the sky, and when I open my eyes I see Ben and the remaining VKs in front of me. All turned to stone.

“No. No… No! No! No! No! Carlos! Please!” 

I frantically grab at the statue and wave a hand in front of his face. He just stays there crouched, petting Dude. Stone-faced and… gone. 

The familiar dark feeling of hopelessness sparks in the pit of my stomach and my thoughts start spinning. I may have lost my true love but at least he was alive. Whether or not he loved me he was still in my life. Audrey was right. Happy endings are overrated and fake. Sandersons live through lives of crime and hatred but we still have each other. Now I have no one.

“Why didn’t you turn to stone?”

Mal’s voice is static to my ears. How can she just stand there? She has the audacity to wonder why Audrey left me to suffer alone.

“I’ve always had trouble finding friends. I guess Audrey doesn’t want to break tradition. She’s cursed me to be alone with twisted and evil magic. And if Carlos is gone, then I really have nothing left to live for. I hope you’re happy, Mal.”

I keep my voice eerily even-toned, something that puts Mal on edge. “What are you going to do?”

“What I should have done from the start. I am going to help Audrey settle this once and for all. Then I am going to find my father and you will let us go back to the forest in peace. If thou dost not comply with these terms I will curse you to be alone and miserable for the rest of your days.” I climb onto the fountain and look down at her pathetic expression. “You’ll get used to it. I already have.”

I whip out my broom and take off before she can argue. Audrey might be evil, but she’s the only one that hasn’t lied to me or tried to use me. She only wants me to earn the respect I deserve, and I won’t lose that chance again.

Forgive me, Carlos.

Silvio chapter 14-15

THEY ARE FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH THE PLOT INSTEAD OF 10 STEPS BEHIND thanks chev, for bringing us up to plot but also, what the hell do you mean the king of benitoite AND THE OBSIDIAN EMPEROR is gonna be involved in this??? *cold sweats*

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 RIO I LOVE YOU AND WE'RE GONNA, GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER

FUXK OFF

HOW FUCKING DARE YOU KIDNAP MY MAN

Oh but at least MC knows they're brothers now but silvio got some kinda reason to not tell him anything about himself. It might even be one we already know but i forgot cuz I've obviously haven't been paying attention to the right things... I've been paying attention to the.... Pretty things instead. 👀

There's only ONE revolting creep around here and I'm looking at him.

....

.......

Oh my god did he just make me defend Chev?????

Also he tells me never to talk alone with gilbert again cuz I suck at lying, which is true, fine, i can't say otherwise. That would be the smart thing to do (good thing I'm either stupid or insane)

Hm... I think could chug on that cool aid, if i didn't get MORE of a kick out of surprising him.

Oh no darling, mc, you didn't underestimate gil exactly! He was always gonna be worse than you can possibly imagine!! So of course trying to imagine it was pretty pointless! (Says woman with a unique tag for my gilbert overthinking and theories)

"In a way that's worse than solving things with violence"

It is?.... Oh shit yeah, that's right it is... BAD. very bad. Very bad for us....But i don't think I could say it's WORSE than the senseless violence of war, it's just taking the field over to the mental realm instead of just the physical one. I have no idea what this dude does with a country once he conquers it and, realistically, i don't really wanna fuck around and find out about that for sure. .. But choosing to do things diplomatically, so as to minimize damage on your citizen and your army when your country is known for getting into a bunch of wars sounds damn near revolutionary by their standards.

*to myself* stay STRONG violet, stay STRONG...

Holy fuckinh shit they finally wrote an avatar story (normal mind you) that doesn't disgust me! (How is this... This route's biggest achievement so far??) It's just MC unintentionally giving silvio some strength cuz she genuinely can't imagine him bowing down whatever whim the king has if he doesn't agree to it and apparently that was too gosh darn cute of her not to merit a hug and then they're both blushing

If

If only rio wasn't at the door to see that 😭

And Gilbert two steps behind him for part two of his mansplain gasslight manipulate session

Gggggggggghhh yalls don't know how much I'm eating up how the foil to being able to manipulte people like that is to have a surprising amount of empathy. Again. What fucked you up like this????

Also YOU AND YOUR STUPID POOR LITTLE MEOW MEOW LOOK. NO. YA AIN'T GETTING THE BEST OF ME

🙃if you force it upon people then it's not kindness *bonks him* (I'll have a jester's death, thanks)

SILVIO I'M NOT SURE AND I DON'T WANNA JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS BUT I GET A FEELING LIKE MAYBE IT WOULDN'T HAVE WENT LIKE THIS IF YOU TOLD RIO ABOUT HIS MEMORIES IDK MAN

K so after this... I'm not sure if gil got what he wanted (... I should probably assume yes gil always gets what he wants...) But rio started making up excuses so MC doesn't go see silvio and when she asks what Thats about rio just asks her to stay away so he doesn't hurt her, HE'S LITERALLY BEGGING ME HOW HE NEVER HAS BEFORE GAME HOW TF AM SUPPOSED TO DO THAT TO HIM????

Oh and silvio's sulking about missing (won't admit it tho) and getting drunk with keith and complaining about women

And keith's like "dude that's NOT all women. How do you have luck so terrible with women??" And we know the answer is mommy issues with a side of "this is just what being rich and a prince is like" except it isn't cuz I've seen the women that confess to valerio. They fall in love with him cuz he's considerate, kind, attentive (altho he only ever did anything for himself and according to him it wasn't "real kindness" but he was never needlessly cruel either) anyways, silvio and his stupid dumbass think mc's gonna show her true colors that she's nasty like all women so yeah his, denial and bias issues are still going strong

🗺️ and 👑?

Thanks for the ask!

🗺️ Pick a kingdom/faction in Beleriand to visit. (No matter what happens, you cannot be injured and you cannot die - yay, plot armor!)

Oof, this is a hard question because if I have plot armor, I'd want to go everywhere in Beleriand! Maybe except Angband. My heart couldn't take it.

After thinking about it, I've narrowed it down to Doriath and Himring (though I'd be devastated for missing Nargothrond).

I chose Himring for Maedhros reasons, obviously. I chose Doriath because it's the perfect fairy tale kingdom.

At its prime, Doriath would be magical! Imagine wandering the thousand caves, seeing Melian's magic in action, listening to Daeron's music and to Luthien's song! I think I'd just die there even with plot armor because it would be too much for a mere mortal (Beren was built different). Jokes aside, I have a headcanon that Melian's power made some parts of the kingdom not exactly hostile to life but at least a bit oppressive. In particular, close to the borders where the Girdle is. Menegroth is also affected but she tries to reign it in. Thingol must have built immunity to her power while they were staring at each other for a couple of centuries.

👑To which High King of the Noldor do you owe your allegiance? Why would you offer them your fealty?

Okay, now I know why I don't often reblog ask games. I can never choose!

In the poll of the best High King, I chose Gil-galad and I stand by it. He wasn't a kinslayer and never did anything, well, questionable like swearing a terrible oath or challenging Satan to a single combat. He didn't even take a wife, let alone a second wife. He also had the longest reign of all the High Kings if we don't count Finwe. (Of course, it can be argued that for a while life was easier for him than for the kings that had come before him because Morgoth was defeated and Sauron would take a while to gain power.)

And yet, when it comes to the question, I have to say Fingolfin. I'm sorry, nothing can beat riding across a burning kingdom with eyes shining from rage and yelling at Morgoth to come out and fight him. It's not the smartest or even the most kingly move, but it is very awe-inspiring.

But that's not all. Fingolfin was politically savvy, more so than Feanor. The greatest part of the Noldor followed him, which means he was pretty likeable. He was able to keep his people together after they were betrayed (and after a part of his forces, led by his firstborn son, participated in a kinslaying). He led the Noldor across the Helcaraxe, which was considered impossible and he was gracious enough to make peace with the Feanorians. He even allied with them and kept the Siege going for centuries.

When I think of the High King of the Noldor, the first name that comes to mind is Fingolfin. I've said this before, but I think the title of High King lost its importance after him. The Shibboleth says that after his death, the Noldor were divided into separate kingdoms under Fingon, Turgon, Maedhros and Finrod. Feanor reigned only over a small part of the Noldor. When Gil-galad's time came, I don't think there were many Noldor left in Middle-earth. So, I believe that in a sense Fingolfin was the only true High King of the Noldor in Beleriand.

again. enderspawn posting about jrwi mlp has made me want to talk about the au that’s been swirling around in my head for a while now. special interest go brrr

i havent drawn jay yet and i changed my design for gillion so unfortunately all i have visuals for so far is chip (here)

these notes are completely unorganized, but i swear there’s a coherent au with a storyline underneath

Jay: pegasus

- the Ferins are a lot taller than most pegasi (which are typically the smallest of the pony races) and they have noticeably large wings

- the navy is majority pegasi (because in mlp canon, pegasi already have a history of culturally encouraged militarism)

- her cutie mark is waves near a beach--specifically depicting a riptide current--and she got it by saving someone at sea. later, as a pirate, she realizes that this--what her, gil, and chip are doing--was what her cutie mark was about all along. being at sea. saving people. its a little unconventional, but it feels more true than her previous interpretation of it being navy-related. 

Chip: changeling

- left the Hive and was taken in by Arlin and the Black Rose pirates; they knew of his actual species and were among the only people to not distrust him for it

- the reason he looks so similar to Lizzie is because he used to pretend to be her twin. after the hole in the sea, he adopted that look as his disguise permanently, because he missed her

- after Gil and Jay learn about his species, he shapeshifts in much the same way he does in canon with his bandanna. he uses it to play pranks, disguise himself, or catch an opponent off-guard... oh, you know chip, he uses it to fuck with gil 

- he does this thing where, when trying to persuade someone, he changes his cutie mark to something relevant to what he’s saying and subtly puts it in their line of sight. he played a dangerous game by doing this even before his crewmates knew, trying to keep the changed mark out of their sights

Gillion: kelpie

- i was originally going to make him a seapony/hippogriff, but it just didnt fit him, so instead i designed what is basically tritons, but horse, and then decided to call them kelpies ignoring the kelpies that are canon to the comics

- for kelpies, the coral that grows from some of their heads’ acts a lot like a unicorn or kirin’s horn. they also have a subrace without coral. they do not have a pegasus-like equivalent

- kelpies actually DO get cutie marks which is unsual since theyre not technically ponies! i included this because gillion having an unhealthy relationship to his cutie mark due to its connection to destiny (which he naturally has a fucked up relationship to) was important to me with this au. his cutie mark is a sword pointed down, struck by lightning, which becomes blood partway down the blade and drips off the tip. it takes a lot of work for him to see it as a good thing, being so obviously linked to the violence he was raised in, but he eventually recontextualizes it as not “being the chosen one” but as “protecting family and friends and crew”

Ollie: half-kirin, half-unicorn

- in this analogy, kirin = elf

- he has the mane and tail of a kirin, the coat of a unicorn, and his horn is a mix of both. he can also become a nirik if properly enraged, but the crew hasnt really seen this side of him yet.

Lizzie: earth pony

- the face that Chip based his pony persona on

- got a cutie mark for piracy, which Chip accuses her of “copying” from his. (lizzie: thats not how this works you dumb fucking changeling)

Caspian: aquatic unicorn

- no notes. head empty. just caspian

- ok i lied. head very full of thoughts of an entire group of unicorns who specialize in aquatic magic (breathing underwater, swimming fast, etc) being part of the undersea

- theyre not biologically distinct from unicorns. they just practice a specific type of magic to sustain their lifestyle underwater.

- foals would be born and raised abovewater for their first few years. the minute they can consistently keep themselves alive underwater, the family moves back to the undersea.

#writing this makes me wanna draw all these designs #i know EXACTLY what they look like in my head #jrwi #jrwi riptide #mlp au #mlp #chip #chip jrwi #lizzie #lizzie jrwi #caspian #caspian jrwi #gillion tide #jay ferin #ollie #ollie jrwi

Some quotes for you!

"No river runs among the dead cliffs / our story is written to its end"

"You no longer have time for anything but bitter tears"

"Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay"

"It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive"

"And nobody smiled as we took back our own"

"But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime"

"No river runs among the dead cliffs / our story is written to its end"

Ooo I don't know who this would be about, but man I love the vibes! The story is about lovers who had to hide, and who are probably either immortal or then people who are long gone. Maybe it's written from the perspective of an archaeologist/treasure hunter who discovers the story in an old cavern where there used to be a river or something?

"You no longer have time for anything but bitter tears"

Okay so this is a story of feral murder child Astolfo from Vanitas no Carte. Actually I very well might use this for a story I'm planning about him, for after the Beast of Gévaudan arc when he's still healing from his injuries. He's having bad flashbacks to the time he lost his whole family to vampires, and, out of all people, it's Roland who's helping Astolfo through them. Because Roland was there and saw the carnage, because he knows how much Astolfo was hurt that night. Basically it's just fluff with major angst as Astolfo's letting himself be vulnerable for a bit. (I don't think he has much choice, after how injured he got at Gévaudan tho!)

"Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay"

This makes me think of Garashir in a weird way. Post-canon, they somehow stumble into each other, and they're older and more bitter and their hearts are broken...until they realise that they can pick things up from where they left it. They can fix each other's broken hearts, live somewhere with no war, no evil. Just two men, mending their hearts and their garden, as well as some clothes and broken bones!

"It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive"

Okay so I got two ideas. Idea 1 is a reembodied elf in Valinor, grappling with the fact that they were dead, possibly killed others and then...they're alive again. Knowing me, it would probably be about Maeglin.

Idea 2 is about Vanitas no Carte, about Noé and Domi. They're all grown up, still missing Louis terribly. One evening, they talk about a lot of what-ifs (after Domi has found out that she and Louis are twins) and Domi says something along the lines of maybe it would have been better for Louis to live and Domi to have been the curse-bearer and Noé says that what the hell Domi, that he's happy that he's still got her at least. Like obviously he is sad about Louis but he would be just as sad about Domi if it had been her instead of him.

"And nobody smiled as we took back our own"

This gives me the vibes of the time after the Battle of the Last Alliance. Elrond is tending to the broken body of Gil-Galad and wondering what it even was that they were doing, if the victory even was a real one when so much had been lost either way.

"But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime"

After the end of 07-Ghost, Castor and Labrador having thoughts about things like breathing, feeling, and other things associated with living, something they hadn't thought they could do any more. They're human again and it feels all sorts of weird.

[softquietsteadylove]

Let’s do some soft moment between them?

Thena sees how stressed Gil is and decides to do some things for him, like ordering dinner, sorting and taking care of little stuff and more!

"Hey hon," Gil calls as he drags himself through the door. He sets his bag down heavily but tries to pull himself together. Thena got off her shift six hours ago, and he doesn't want to ruin her evening with his shit day.

It's all part of the job, right?

"Hey!"

He grunts faintly as Thena comes running down the front hall and throws herself into his arms. He's not complaining, though, happily burying his nose in her hair and holding her against his chest.

She pulls away, only to hold his cheeks in her hands and kiss him properly. "I missed you."

Obviously she knows he's had a hard shift, but it still makes him all warm and fuzzy inside for her to kiss him like that and lavish him with attention and sweet words. "I missed you too."

Thena walks them further into her apartment, trading little kisses with him as they walk, like they're lovesick teenagers, which she always said she found obnoxious. "You go sit, I'll bring dinner over."

"You cooked?" he chuckles, but obeys her instruction.

"I'm trying to help you relax, not poison you."

He lets out a long laugh on his way to her nice comfy sectional. He doesn't lie down, though. If he does that, he's just going to fall asleep in an instant.

"I ordered your favourites," she calls from the kitchen in the same happy tone.

Gil raises a brow at it, lounging back on the couch. "What's got you so giddy?"

"Just," he heard some clinking of cuttlery and plates and stuff. "Happy you're back!"

Gil sits up a little straighter as she comes over with two dishes for them. He cooks for them as often as he can, but she's ordered Chinese--something he's unlikely to make for them at home anyway. She sits next to him with a smile. "Honey, really."

Thena sighs, having been seen through. She wilts into the couch as well, "okay, okay. I tried, didn't I?"

He chuckles, pulling her into him and leaving the food for now. "Not that I don't appreciate it, but like I asked, what's the occasion?"

Thena tilts her head at him, hair down for once in the comfort of her own home. "You seemed more than a little bummed when I headed out, and that was before you had the last few hours to go. I thought, maybe, you'd want the treatment when you got home."

He grins, and not just because her apartment is 'home' for both of them. He wraps his arms around her waist, reclining so she can sit between his legs on the couch. "I already get the treatment, coming home to you."

Thena laughs off his sweet talk, as she always does. Because she doesn't know just how much he means it. Coming home to her beautiful smile and dry tone and reluctance to laugh at his dumb jokes?--that's all he needs.

"Well," she sighs, tracing along the lines of his sweater. "I know you had a long day, and I know you like getting all cuddly, so..."

He could cry. She was doing this for him? Even though she always says that she hates acting like young kids in puppy love. He kisses her forehead, combing his fingers through her hair leisurely. "No complaints from me, baby. But I gotta say, touchy-feely isn't exactly your love language."

"But it is yours," she insists, still on this thing about easing the stresses of his day. "And I know you like, uh, boyfriend-y stuff like this."

She's always been reluctant to really use that word. And he's never pushed her, happy to be her work-husband, even with their relationship rather private from their coworkers. He doesn't have to be her boyfriend to know that she's his. And he is most definitely hers, mind-body-and-soul.

Gil touches the tip of his nose to hers before kissing her. It's soft, in the way they don't have time for in the middle of the work day. "You know you're the best, right?"

It appeals to the ego in her - the Doctor ego - and she grins, pleased with herself. "Well, it never hurts to hear it again."

"You're," another kiss, "the", another, "best."

Thena practically purrs in his arms, getting nice and comfy in his lap as he lavishes her with attention. She can act tough and independent all she likes, he knows she's not above a nice cuddle every now and then. And he wasn't the only one who had a long day at work.

"So, is this really all because you thought I had a rough day?"

"Well," Thena pauses.

He nudges her, pressing his lips to her temple.

She snuggles a little more into his chest. "I saw you watching that couple in the waiting room being all gross together. You seemed a little - I don't know - envious."

He chuckles again. She wouldn't have said anything on her own, but she is the type who would notice him noticing something like that and think about what to do about it on her own. "So, you're letting me feel like a real boyfriend, tonight?"

Her sheepishness returns and even a little colour in her perfect cheeks. "You're already my husband. But if you want to be my boyfriend, too-"

He gets impatient and kisses her in the middle of her sweet little declaration. He can't resist, he just loves this woman so much. It really helps drown out the long work day, the relentless pace of it, the merciless nature of both their jobs.

"See?" she laughs between kisses. "You love this sappy stuff!"

"Guilty," he admits completely. "Good thing I have such a sappy girlfriend."

"Sappy?!"

He pouts his lips and makes his best puppy eyes at her, "just for me?"

His girlfriend is a real sucker for this face, and it doesn't take her long to crumble before it, "fine. Just for you, and just here, and just sometimes."

"Okay fine," he smiles, burying his nose in her hair. They honestly might not get to the food until it's a little cold, at this rate, but he's fine with that. He inhales, feeling the slight weight of her against his chest and stomach and the curve of her ribs against arm.

"So," Thena also sighs, relishing his warmth, "you wanna eat this dinner I ordered, or what?"

"In a minute, hon," he mumbles. He's not really lying down, but he might just fall asleep like this anyway.

#Thenamesh Doctor AU #just two idiots in love #in domestic bliss as it were #Gil needs the treatment sometimes too #Thena doesn't consider herself good at spoiling him #and she doesn't let him spoil her either #at least not consciously #because if she did he would be showering her with petnames and gifts and flowers all the time #but she can tell when he needs a little extra lovin' #so she orders food so he doesn't have to cook #and puts on romcoms or comedy movies he'll like #and lets him cuddle her #if he's really feelin' it she lets him lie on top of her and get a scalp massage from her #puts him right to sleep

[land-of-holly]

Okay, here are some of my thoughts/predictions in advance of the finale:

(I tried to skim the tag to check if I missed any major questions, but it just made me depressed, so if I forgot anything I apologize)

In no particular order:

All the Vibes point to the Stranger being Gandalf. The writers have already proven they belive that anything before roughly T.A. 2000 is fair game to count as Second Age, so whatever. In my opinion it would be slightly boring but well supported by the narrative. In any case I don't think the full reveal will happen this season; we might learn that he's a wizard but not which one.

I have no earthly clue what is going on with the creepy cult ladies but signs seem to point to them working for Sauron?

There are obviously a lot of hints that Halbrand is Sauron for those who want to see them. I personally think it would be a waste of a perfectly good character arc if the entire persona is revealed to be nothing but lies. A theory I like that I've been seeing bits and pieces of here and there is that when Adar "killed" Sauron, he claimes to have "split him open", so maybe there's like, a piece of Sauron in Halbrand, Voldemort-style.

Honestly I'm still mostly on team "Sauron is already in Eregion fucking things up" because it's the only possible explanation for Gil-galad's utter assholery. I'm holding out hope that "the elves will all be dead by spring and only mithril can save them" is just a deception spread as the first step in Sauron's evil plan.

GALADRIEL IS NOT ATTRACTED TO HALBRAND. Say what you want about his feelings for her but SERIOUSLY THERE IS NOTHING THERE. Oh my god, is this what straight people feel like all the time?? When we're clearly picking up sexual tension between two same gender characters and they just don't fucking see it?? Idek anymore. This will never be "disconfirmed" because there was nothing to confirm in the first place; as far as I'm concerned her mentioning already being married is all that needs be said.

That said, I think if we're LUCKY we'll see a tiny glimpse of Celeborn in episode 8 without really knowing where he is or what he's up to. I really have not a fucking clue what would keep him from rejoining his wife for hundreds to thousands of years, so I guess prisoner of the Enemy? Amnesia maybe?

"Who is Theo's dad?" is something that was clearly teased as a possible reveal when he and Bronwyn were introduced, but at this point I don't think we're getting an answer. I doubt there's a satisfying one out there anyway.

I don't think Disa's gonna do a Princess Ursa and regicide King Durin in order to save her husband's best friend. I mean, I believe she COULD do it, and if she did I would support her, but I'm not quite getting that vibe from her. Murder's like plan K, and they've still got plans D-J to get through first.

Isildur will not be reunited with the rest of the Numenoreans until next season. Sorry, Elendil. He'll hang around Middle-earth for a while, maybe do some surveying for a fortress on the outskirts of Mordor, then meet up with the army when it returns.

I'm actually having a hard time figuring out what the last episode is going to look like, because they seem to be wrapping up a lot of their plotlines already. I would not feel like I was left hanging if we didn't hear more from the Harfoots or the Numenoreans; they already seem poised to set out on their next major story arc. Same with Adar and the Orcs; they got what they wanted, so there's no real plot left in them unless, say, the creepy cult ladies show up and start to stir shit up.

It's entirely possible that we'll see the forging of at least one ring of power in episode 8, maybe from Elrond's little mithril chunk, but whether it's a prototype or one of the Great Rings remains to be seen; probability of Great Ring goes way up if Sauron is already hanging around Eregion.

Oh! The Stranger (and thus the four Harfoots) are going into Greenwood the Great. Maybe we'll meet Oropher? That would be cool.

Okay I think that's all I got. See y'all on the other side!

#rings of power #i may poke around the manifold prediction markets #and see if anyone's got any predictions up #so i may come back to this if i see anything good to weigh in on

Varley Gloome: Super Special Room Tour

Here’s a dumb idea. I’ve been posting a bit about Varley’s FFXIV adventures on here over the past year or two since I started playing the game so I thought I’d make one about her room since I’ve been putting at least a little time/effort/gil into it lately. Here’s a quick tour of where I go to hide whenever the FC has the neighbours over.

First off, here’s a bunch of stuff I stole from work. Maelstrom won’t miss it I’m sure. Can’t remember how I managed to drag the armoire and footlocker all the way from Limsa to Ishgard but I did somehow. Swiped the little sign off the wall down in Labyrinthos while Alphinaud and Alisaie’s dad was too busy arresting us for espionage to notice. The big idiot.

The newest addition. If I ever set foot back in Garlemald after doing all those FATE’s it’ll be too soon but it was worth it. Partly because we honour the legends in this house but also partly because I know he’d fucking hate it. Not sure if the Amaurot side lights need to be set a little lower though.

Now the whole place starts to get a little bit more chaotic. My FC have threatened to evict me if I don’t clean up the place and throw out the empty takeout boxes but I’m a busy bun dangit. Even the guy whose room is literally a sea of Carbuncle plushies gave me the old “Damn bitch, you live like this?”.

Bed and partition from my Stormblood adventures because most of the crap in this room is a souvenir from somewhere or other. Estinien toy because I basically exist to torment my friends, Nier toys because that whole questline was pretty neat and Edda toy because I’m a reaper main and it felt kind of appropriate.

Here’s the desk I use to test what my new glamours look like in cutscenes. Complete with stratocaster (because obviously Varley shreds), Bozja plushie and lava lamp I got from a secret research facility thousands of years in the past. If I go to a place I WILL take a souvenir from it. Resistance is futile.

This is where I sprint to at 5000mph immediately after logging in every major patch to see if Viera got any new hairstyles. Also, where my retainers yell at me to leave them alone.

This here’s my relaxation area. I should probably invest in more than one chair at some point tbh. Also, clean up the stack of dirty dishes maybe. Big shrug. My side table is big enough for those, my globe from the moon and my Orchestrion so it’s fine. The paintings are of the Crystarium (because it’s my favourite city), Amaurot (because it was my favourite reveal) and a statue of Llymlaen (because she’s Varley’s guardian deity).

Current Orchestrion playlist because goddamn some of these took forever to get my hands on (looking at you Return to Oblivion). Managed to collect all my favourites though.

So there it is. I haven’t gotten as fancy as a lot of people have with their rooms (one of my FC members has like six aquariums) but I’m kinda happy with how the place looks so, until my FC finally kicks my ass out onto the street, this is where I’m at. Thanks for coming!

#ffxiv #final fantasy #varley gloome #I know Viera are all supposed to be like elegant supermodels but what if one was kind of a hoarding disaster and lived in a trash heap? #that was basically my mission statement and I like to think I pulled it off quite nicely #aim for the stars y'all

[ebbarights]

actually watching on succession monday today but tailgate party liveblog still under cut so i'm not annoying

RAVA

SOPHIEEEE wow the show remembered kendall's a dad??

obviously kendall does a lot of shitty things that i don't really care about. they're funny even. but this whole thing isn't that. at all

"it's all for them. to make the world safe" - "everything i've done, i've done for my children"

dumb and dumber shiv really gets all the funny lines this season

okay did i miss something? who is jiménez? i thought gil was the democratic candidate or am i an idiot

the person who made the 'every time roman makes a weird sound' better make an updated version this episode is off the charts

'i help the libtards, you go help the nazis' if i see another comment that these characters are in any way right-wing. they're clearly apolitical WHICH IS ALSO VERY BAD but in a totally different way

roman i'm gonna say a slur

okay now that i've seen big little lies i can't look at alexander skarsgård without seeing his dad. it's fucking eerie and the biggest problem i have with nepotism

WAIT THAT'S THE OUTFIT SHIV WEARS DURING THE FIGHT ON THE BALCONY IS THAT FINALLY COMING well rip tomshiv

so weird to see both tom and lukas speaking to someone at eye level

EBBA

she has social anxiety? okay maybe i'm a roman-coded ebbagirl

FAILSONS ASDLKASDJFLASASHDFLSA i can't believe they actually said that

lukas autistic king

'i'm not gil. you're not logan. that's a good thing' what if i start screaming and never stop

oskar doing what i desperately want to do

ebba might actually be my favourite minor character

thank you roman for continually touching that light think on the tables outside because i instinctually wanted to do that the whole time

new money?? kendall you're new money too

i LOVE that they're deconstructing the zuckerberg tech genius idea

'i could have got you there' killing myself. for real this time

just groaned out loud roman i know you feel like shit right now but don't say that to connor

conwilla is real actually

romelukas. that's dead though

TOMSHIV FIGHT HERE WE GOOOOOO

okay this isn't fun anymore. maybe it still is. but no it isn't

i think this fight is one of my favourite scenes of the entire show actually.

do we know that ebba told the truth. what if that's a play

I WAS JUST THINKING roman and shiv already betrayed their siblings this season and that's normally kendall's favourite thing and there he fucking goes

#succession s4 #succession spoilers

[annikasafternoonread]

Kel thing here- No one talks about that little moment during the Progress when one of Kel's oldest sparrow friends dies and she brings the body to Daine. Just, brings her friend to Daine even through there's obviously nothing to be done, and the Wildmage cries too. They mourn for the sparrow together. This tiny little bird.

No one talks about how Kel is probably one of the very few people Daine has ever met who feels the way she does about the People.

Others are sad about animals dying, but it doesn't hit them the same way. When we first meet Kel she risks her life fighting a monster and climbing a cliff to save a bag of kittens. In the ruins of Haven she morns the sacrifice of the sparrow who wedged itself into the eyesocket of a Killing Device so one of it's human friends could sneak up and kill it, crushing the sparrow with the same blow.

When the girffon's parents finally arrive for their child and Kel is left standing there with the things she used to bath this pest that clawed and bite her and broke her fingers and cost her sleep and Kel still will miss him, Daine is with her, she understands.

From warhorses too big and stubborn for her that Kel refuses to let be be put down, to the general kindness of putting out food for the local sparrows, to paying for the sausages stolen by a random ugly dog and stopping the man who wanted to hurt it- From the moment Kel arrived at the palace, she showed a value for the lives of creatures that nearly everyone else around her didn't.

In Haven, when Daine fills many of the fort animals with magic and changes them so they can think more like humans, it's not because Kel needs the help. I don't think it's even wholly because the animals asked.

But she knows. She knows how Kel thinks of animals- Beings to be respected even when they are ugly, even when they are ornery or annoying or get in the way, even when they are small and cannot speak.

Even though Kel hasn't a drop of wild magic, she still is ready to die fighting for the animals who need her. They are People to her, too.

And she will protect them.

I just wish we talked about that more. Daine and Kel's connection is an understated but crucial core part of the Protector of the Small books, and it makes me cry Every. Single. Time.

Hello this is beautiful and make me cry just a little bit because you're so fucking right. Dead on. Every word.

For Kel, it doesn't matter who someone is -- young or old, weak or strong, male or female (or other), ally or enemy, human or horse or cat, they are all valuable to her. They are all people, and they are all worthy of her protection. And she'll work with them, meet them where they are. She doesn't want to change them or break them or make them any less than they were born to be. She loves Peachblossom's stubbornness and pride. She loves Jump's mischief. She loves watching the griffin grown and thrive. If they were different, they wouldn't be them.

She sees the creatures' intelligence and their kindness and their courage -- and their sacrifice. She sees them the same as any human. The sparrow was as much a soldier as Oluf was, or Gil. And she mourns them the same.

It makes sense that Daine sees the People as people, of course, because she is of their blood. She can speak with them, understand them, become them. Other folks might scoff at it, but they also respect it as a part of her power -- and she's powerful enough they wouldn't dare say much to her face. They might respect it, but there are still likely few who truly understand it like Kel does, few who feel the same way. Kel has no connection to the animals beyond just... kindness. Compassion. But her connection by choice and caring is just as powerful as Daine's connection by blood and magic.

I hope they get to connect more, perhaps in times of peace. Share stories of their animals, or share knowledge and skills. They would be good for each other. A steady soul, an understanding heart, a kind hand. They'd have a lot to talk about. And they both need more friends, people to lean on and let carry them when things are heavy.

About Silvio's Romantic End

Ohhhhh the difference between the two is that Silvio commits to the villain act in this one.

Yalls like angst huh

Are you guys sure that this is the BETTER ending? Like in the DramEnd i was already like "okay.fair enough. I guess you started redeeming yourself. I see why yall like him even tho i could not forgive him" by chapter 22 but here ??????????? He's even worse! It's all an act and he's in deep shit and I guess that's pitiful but man. The negative rizz on this man. I wanna kiss Gil. I could be kissing Gil instead rn yanno? Ugh. He's right there.

"I could have never fallen in love with rio" COULD BE ME BITCH COULDN'T BE ME

This game's whole life hangs on getting to suspend my disbelief that you cannot get over some guy and silvio's just not doing it.

I know what jin is saying is on the game's theme of ~T R U L O V E~ but i am so not convinced that you couldn't move on from Silvio. I know it's her first love but like- my first love was terrible too and I can testify that yeah you can just move on eventually. PLEASE GROWN SOME SELF RESPECT GIRL YOU COULD DO SO MUCH BETTER. silvio if you don't fucking do something that's at least supposed to be redeemed by the end of this- i am officially starting the hunt down with pinch forks and torches.

Oh and everything I say is hypocritical cuz I somehow still like gilbert.

#

Silvio: *follows me to my room even tho i obviously don't wanna see or talk to him*

Me: if you wanna talk stay 6 feet away from me cuz I feel like i could strangle you with my bare hands rn if you get too close!!

#

Omg omfg they are BOTH SO FUCKING STUPID BOTH OF THEM

Omg. The only one who hates silvio more than I do is silvio........

#

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

They're tryna tell me that "yeah it's cuz emma is always just kind to people and refuses to shares her burdens that having a guy that she doesn't mind screaming at got her to loosen up and share her true feelings" ARE YO UFUCKIN KIDDING ME????? BRAINS????? DO YOU HAVE ANY??????

Rio 😭😭😭😭rio who loves her so much he just wants her to be the happiest person in world no matter who the one who can make her happy and she can share her true feelings and rely on is even if it's not him AND YOU'RE TELLING ME TO SOMEHOW NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM!?!?!?!!??!?!!!??!!

K but wasn't there a tactic like this in Abuse 101 now that I think about it??? Cuz he shouted terrible things at her till she started crying but once she started crying he pulls out a handkerchief and tries comforting her, clumsy and crude as he is. And don't get me wrong, I did not miss the inner narrative of all this. That silvio's hurting himself in this process too, and it's not like he's doing this sequence with malicious purpose of tying her to him like how abusers do (*COUGH* unlike how someone else might try to do*COUGH* self awareness won't save either of us ) it's just when you zoom out of the situation this still looks VERY bad.

And he did it like this to rio too! Altho Silvio was sorta trying to teach him to at least stand up for himself,,, if he did it like that there's no wonder rio ended up with complicated feelings about him, including hatred. Understandable hatred.

"The person I love will probably be someone who will make me cry" yeah. And my eyes are dry af rn. Again. This is gonna be so hypocritical when I can bawl my eyes out over gilbert if I just think about him too long. So again it's not like I totally believe that kinda ache isn't possible. I don't fucking know what the brain chemicals are doing.

Oh also silvio ADMITS that it's actually more like he's the one wearing to collar. That's one way to put it.

Me: *tapping gilbert* oi. Did they just trauma bond?

Gil: seems so.

Me:... Just as you planned or what?

Gil: who knows :)

#

Rio is ME again cuz he's literally like "STEP THE FUCK UP AND HAVE THAT CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT ALREADY" cuz YEAH. THIS *gestures vaguely* AIN'T GONNA DO.

Also not enough carlo so far. -120/10

The worst part is that the dramatic was already better...

#

Ah there the fuck it is!! Silvio's reception!!! Finally picking a fight with his dad!! A FOUR WAY ALLIANCE!!! I know there's a couple pf routes where we get something like that done but it never fails to amaze me.

P. S. Instead of bringing up Rio's kidnapping and putting Rodolite under scrutiny at the summit meeting, silvio brings up the alliance agreement instead. His dad will be furious cuz in this scenario benitoite doesn't get as good a trade deal as of they signed exclusively with Obsidian. And also there will always be the "better" options for Obsidian that they just conquer them all instead of playing buddy buddy so there's the fear of that but The King just straight up planning to surround to Obsidian soon for "better terms* yah. That just stupid. Retire already. I don't care Whether silvio or rio takes it just don't leave it to emidio.

Gil!!!! He made Luke make him a FEAST full of honey treats!!! To celebrate the alliance(??)!!! And he's NOT sharing any with Silvio!! That's kinda just funny XDD

Cuz Obsidian wouldn't just agree to the same trading terms as everyone else, silvio had to give gil separate tariff, that gil then RANKS UP even more and silvio even says he's gonna pay from his own pocket.

Gil: you might end up losing your whole forture if you're not careful.

Me: *waving it off* He can get another one.

(That's essential what silvio says too)

AND THEN AND THEN and this gonna make the silvbert shippers (read: vivi and spoom) go insane cuz gil sits there (cheek in palm , elbow on the table, as he does. if I had a coin–) and he's like "i was right. Even with all your money you are still lofty and virtous. Sorry I said I was disappointed in you." And silvio's like "wtf" and gil's sitting there, omnious music playing and its the "all according to my plan" villain reveal and I guess it's supposed to be evil or something?????? —Cuz he manipulated silvio, rio and emma and now they got an even better deal than before—But I'm sitting here like "omg.... H... He believed- NAY he KNEW silvio would be virtuous??? And that he ultimately couldn't turn his back on the one person in the world that didn't hate him even at his worst??? The one person he ever met that's just honest and good and (i have no idea how) honestly just enjoyed his company??" Omg gil. You wing man.

Gil's so much nicer than me, cuz I think I might have accidentally broken the little self esteem silvio had remained cuz as God and Tumblr is my witness, I hate that guy and I've had no faith in him.

And then even after the agreement gets gil's approval, there's the issue if the Obsidian Emperor will agree and Gil's like "I can do it. You went to a great deal to show me that are sincere so I'll show you that i am too" and I'm like. I smell plot. Going on over there.

*sniffs gil*

Gil: what are you doing?

Me: I'm tryna see if I can smell death on you–ah.but i don't mean the people you killed. For once.

Gil: *catches my nose* stop that.

Me: darling, I am more unreliable than your average fortune teller.

(If a fortune teller told him when he will die, he'd probably kill them, tho he would appreciate the heads up.)

#

Getting what i asked for in the worst way possible: silvio is scheduled for torture and execution cuz he did something good for once 🙃 (the feministe blood in me might scream for murder, but that doesn't mean I'd give in)

Just to be clear, The King of Benitoite stomped his foot on silvio's head in a very cliche villain way.

And just so we're clear, even if I don't like silvio, it is always okay to piss off your father, stage a rebellion, a coup, or an upstage, steal the throne. Whatever. He sighed up for this when he had children.

OH MY FUCKING GOD. EMMA. WHQT THE- THEU ARE STUOID THEY ARE BITH STUPID THEY ARE BOTH SOSO STUPID WTF

k so, I kinda already knew this, but rio hatched the plan : Operation You are my fiance now so shut up asshole! (Omg rio. Rio. You are too good for this world. They don't even deserve you)

So now the king must let silvio go cuz he has to take responsibility for the rumor about the two of them (thanks clavis) And 'taking her first time' (first KISS. 'But they don't need to know teh specifics' oh right. I do remember that kiss. It was a traumatic event as far as *I* remember)

Anyways.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I ONLY SEE CARLO NOW THAT SILVIO'S BACK IN BENITOITE AND "so basically hand over the throne old fart" AND HE ONLY SHOWS UP TO HAND IVER A PIECE OF PAPER!!?!?!??! THIS ENDING SUCKS

Pros: Silvio FUCKING FINALLY manages to buy and gift her a dress she actually likes!!!!! I hope he bought her a different choker too. I can't look at that wretched thing.

At there it is. The "you were always special" cuz. He's fooled around with shitty women before but for some f reason his virginity grows back when it comes to her touching him.

..... I still don't buy it. I just don't. The suspension of disbelief is not suspending.

I was 2 points away from getting the epilogue and that's FRUSTRATING but the preview makes it sound like just smut not lore flashbacks too altho i can't tell for sure idk. Someone tell me if you know.
