#she is so good

I can't stop thinking about just how emblematic everything in those conversations of Ashton being "a child" are of how, even at her most beaten down, triggered and traumatized, Laudna is not and will not be what Delilah wants her to be.

For Delilah, "they're still a child" is dismissive, a bit derisive, but doesn't even merit being truly hateful. She doesn't find Ashton worth the attention Laudna is giving them, not when there are such more interesting, important things to pull the attention of an adult. Children are only important when they are useful. She will indulge Laudna on the subject, because Laudna is useful, is her vehicle for action in the world, but she only cares about it in the context of getting Laudna to do what she wants. Calling someone a child is calling them unimportant. (Laudna is a child to her)

But for Laudna, who loves children and who understands intimately what it's like to have the helplessness of child, to be trapped under the authority of someone who will never treat you as a full person, even when they are being ostensibly kind, to be so confused and lost and powerless...a child deserves attention more than anyone else. Of course children lash out. Being a child IS in many ways quite awful because the world is so big around you and you don't know yet how to react to any of it, how to soothe yourself - and if you aren't given the attention, you never learn how. Ashton never learned how. Her instincts - instincts trained into her by manipulation and abuse from inside and the world around her - may say kill him, but she fights them the whole way because her heart is stronger and her heart says that the angriest, most volatile child needs care as much as any other. More, even.

Laudna hears Delilah call Ashton a child and agrees on the word, but they have diametrically opposed understandings of what that means, and diametrically opposed instincts on how to treat a child. Laudna doesn't want to hurt anyone, especially children. She loves children. She loves so much and so selflessly. And Delilah is so very very good at manipulating her but she has tried for 30 years to change the bedrock of Laudna's psyche, the truer thing that drives her beyond the base animal instincts of survival, and it hasn't worked.

#critical role spoilers #critical role #cr meta #laudna #delilah briarwood #g o d I love her so much #she is so GOOD #and like I was so very worried for her at the break but #I keep forgetting and underestimating her #her strength may not look the same as other peoples' #it may be hidden under her traumatized confusion and twitchy fear but #it is there #she is so very strong #her victories aren't huge and showy but they don't need to be #can't be maybe in a war of attrition inside her own head #but after 30 years she is STILL THERE. STILL HERSELF. STILL KIND. #FUCK #I gotta go lie down on the floor about it #no wonder Imogen loves her so much honestly #she knows how hard it is to keep yourself good and kind in the face of a constant onslaught #I know its jokes but like. yeah. she would be a saint to Imogen. #st laudna real not clickbait

I think Ashley Johnson should personally send a 20$ bill in the mail to everyone who has played Stray Gods for the emotional damage she dealt by singing Adrift in this way. She was so cute and soft. And for what.

#still not over her voice #and with the cute art?? #fucked me up #she is so good #i need a full game of this #ashley johnson #stray gods

Okay but really I just... Dapper's Admin <3333333 its probably just me but I just feel like it's not a coincidence that Dapper's really cooking up something and leaving all sorts of clues for Bad to pick up on and investigate.

Its just rly nice for Bad to get some lore and from how Dapper is acting they REALLy want Bad to investigate this. I know the admins are not to blame and they're just really overwhelmed with work with adding new players and everything but its just... its just really nice for Dapper to be cooking like this and try and leave trail for Bad to investigate

#not neg #qsmp #qsmp Dapper #q!badboyhalo #I still just thinkign how Dapper had to like do everything besides telling Bad to go into the shed to get Bad to investigate #She is so good #rp beloved #admins are so awesome it is not their fault

At this point I think it’s safe to say I’m addicted to @wombywoo‘s art and it’s incredibly dangerous for me when she opens commissions! As always, her work is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE and you should definitely jump on the opportunity to work with her if you can! Thank you so much, @wombywoo, I love it!

This is Ignis and Noctis (Theo) from When You Come Back to Me Again, a post-canon AU I’m writing where six months after defeating Ardyn and the dawn returning, a young man with dark hair and numerous scars washes up on the beach of a small fishing village in far northern Cavaugh with no memory of his previous life. He settles into his new role as a fisherman, but has only vague clues as to who he may have been before.

Several years later, Ignis, Prompto, and Gladio visit the town after it reestablishes contact with Insomnia, and are all taken aback by this “Theo”’s resemblance to Noctis.

Could it somehow be him? And in the end, does it even matter?

#she is SO GOOD #not just a good writer but like. responsible? empathetic? kind? realistic? #idk. she's just good #if your problem with true crime is that it's all teenyboppers screeching about how hot serial killers are while doing makeup tutorials #read an ann rule book instead. see how the real pros do it #i know some of her books have dumb titles but Marketing be like that. the stranger beside me is a good starting point #i started with small sacrifices which is also very good

It is fortunate that Xueyi's body is mechanical, otherwise her back would surely hurt after carrying me through the entirety of Swarm Disaster
