#that plus the fact that people are just straight up lying and making stuff up or mixing in their own headcanons.... horrendous i hate it

[nalivaa]

the star wars fandom continues to be the worst place in the internet i cannot believe the amount of people who are straight up repeating fascist rhetoric disguised as sci-fi headcannons and don't see anything wrong with it

#i talk a lot <3 #'it's just space wizards why are you so worked up about it' yeah babe but you're a real person who saw a group of people with #different beliefs and values than you and went 'oh they need to be erradicated from existence' irl #do you see the issue? do you see it??? #that plus the fact that people are just straight up lying and making stuff up or mixing in their own headcanons.... horrendous i hate it #i am a firm believer that whatever content you consumo doesn't necessarily say anything about you morally #but how you interpret the content and what you get out of it? significantly more important lmao #and people are getting 'cultural genocide can be justified actually' which is Not Good :D

I’ve seen you post some labru stuff and I’m curious what your thoughts on it are. personally I don’t see it? I can buy Kabru having feelings for Laios, but I think Laios wouldn’t be interested in Kabru, so it makes me wonder why so many people ship them. (Tbh I feel like Kabru has more chemistry with Mithrun anyway)

Sorry if this ask sounds rude, I just genuinely don’t understand the appeal of the ship, but I want to understand and I trust your analysis of characters very much :] maybe there’s something I’m missing

I really like both ships, actually!

For labru, there’s sooooo much I could talk about. The inherent homoeroticism of being narrative foils. The inherent homoeroticism of being the king’s advisor. All of chapter 76. The fact that Kabru has mask upon mask upon mask, and Laios is the first person that made his facade absolutely crumble.

Kabru struggles with being genuine!!! Everything he says and does is so perfectly calculated, even when he sort of means it. But since Laios doesn’t get social cues, Kabru gets thrown for a loop.

I get so frustrated when people act like Kabru still hates Laios by the end of the manga!!!!! He killed those corpse retrievers for being corrupt, and yet he couldn’t bring himself to kill Laios. He has such a strong sense of justice, and knew that killing Laios would be a mistake. Because, after meeting him, he could tell he wasn’t actually evil. He’s strange, sure, but not evil.

Kabru DEFINITELY wants to be friends with Laios!! He was not lying about this!!!

But this last comic shows how much Laios wants to be friends with Kabru, too. He’s so nervous after calling Kabru his friend 😭 he doesn’t want to be presumptuous and fuck it up again.

Laios does show an interest in Kabru, at least when Laios thinks he’s interested in eating monsters too. Like,, what was up with THIS

Laios’s gaze is LINGERING. Plus, (this is before that bit at Thistle’s house when he forgets his name) he brings up Kabru when they first form their plan to eat Falin.

And maybe this is just because of my own personal experiences, but Laios reminds me a lot of my own girlfriend. I think they have a similar flavor of gay/aspec & autism combo where, had I not asked her out first, she probably never would have considered being interested in me. But she was very down when I did.

The tricky part about labru is more the political aspect. Regardless of whether you see Laios as aroace or not, he’s in a situation where he will probably get married. He had a fiancée before he was age 13, likely betrothed since he was a baby. He’s already comfortable with the idea of getting married because He’s Supposed To.

However, Laios is king, and could make gay marriage legal if he wanted to (He would probably do this for his sister and Marcille before considering it for himself ). But at the same time, I think Kabru would object to Laios making whatever policies he wants without considering the repercussions of how other kingdoms might react, especially when they’re just getting Melini off the ground and need lots of support from other countries. Laios and Kabru getting gay married anyway and dealing with the aftermath could make for a really compelling story.

I do think Kabru would be a good ruler. He’s already fit for it. He speaks a dozen languages, he knows people and their motivations, and likes politics. The manga already joked about Chilchuck’s daughters trying to marry a king, so it seems like noble blood isn’t too important, but Kabru’s foster family IS nobility. When it comes to heirs, I do like trans Kabru headcanons, but at the same time, I think it’d be cute if they adopt anyway. Kabru seems like he’d have strong feelings about adoption given,,, yknow.

The alternative version of labru to this is Laios gets straight married out of obligation, and Kabru is his mistress hdhdhshsj. I don’t know if I could see Laios doing that? or if Kabru would risk the scandal of being outed as Royal Advisor and Regent trying to seduce the king. It could go SO downhill. but maybe that would be fun.

NOW FOR KABUMISU.

I knew people shipped them, and I could see the basis for it while reading, but I wasn’t really sold on it until the very end. There’s something about “I had no desires left. I decided to create new desires, and one of them is you” that’s really charming.

There’s also something funny about “the demon ate my heterosexuality so I’m gay now”

I think it’s interesting that Kabru hates elves. He was raised by them, and he hates them. He hates feeling patronized by them. He made absolutely sure that elves wouldn’t take control over Melini, not just for his sake, but for Rin’s.

But Mithrun’s interactions with Kabru are founded on more mutual respect. Though, that’s not to say that Mithrun doesn’t still have his biases towards short lived races..

Where Laios doesn’t understand social cues, Mithrun does but just doesn’t care. For that reason, I think Kabru would enjoy spending time with Mithrun. It’d give him a break from his compulsion to calculate all of his social interactions. But at the same time, Kabru is the KING at bottling his emotions. Mithrun is blunt, but also doesn’t care enough to pry. If Kabru had anything bothering him, I could imagine him seeking Mithrun’s company to avoid thinking about it. Could make for a fun dynamic.

I do think it’s funny that Milsiril 1) took care of Mithrun for potentially 20 years and 2) is only four years older than him. I imagine this could lead to funny situations.

I don’t ship things for no reason! I think both of these could work platonically, romantically, one-sided, or even “requited but they don’t do anything about it.” Their relationships compel me and I think it’s sort of bad faith to brush off either like they’re nothing more than baseless yaoi pair-the-spares. To me, I see just as much of a foundation in the source material as farcille.

After all, dungeon meshi isn’t a story about romance, but it IS a story about love. It’s a story about life and death and grief and the love that comes with it. Regardless of shipping, these characters love each other!!! And I love talking about it!!

please PLEASE do go on about how autistic Hunter is. As a probably-neurotypical person I love to learn more about neurodiversity from people firsthand rather than textbooks it's so cool, plus media diversity rep is something so important, I did a whole project about it actually

OKAY, BET

he's just...... soooo autistic-coded, like there's NO way he's neurotypical lmao (there are of course some things that he does that can also come from his PTSD or his upbringing/growing up conditions rather than autism (or just both! since they might overlap) but there's just.. SO much stuff that's strictly autistic that like........ it's canon. canon to me.)

like, how dramatic he is at times? the entire hexside scene???

the moment where he comes up to that one random kid like "CLASSMATE. ignore the fact that we'd never met, how would you say abt [gets straight to the point where he tells him to join a coven and leave his friends and family forever in an overconfident cheerful manner]" LIKE THAT'S SOOO XKSJKSK the manner in which he said it, the way he just came up to that random person outta the blue, how he got straight to the point, like COME ON

and THIS????

"teens are probably into the same things as me! like authority. and rules!" BRO........

also how expressive his face is (especially how expressive it is for some emotions and schooled/subtle for certain others)

oftentimes his choice of words and the specific intonation in which he says stuff???? 💀 "stop acting foolish" "it will take more than that to thwart my mission" "that's sacrilege" okay grandpa let's get you to bed nxsjksk BUT LIKE. NO, EVEN THE INTONATION he uses in very casual sentences, it's very...... yeah

how much he likes to share fun facts and talk abt stuff he knows abt and is interested in (wild magic, titan's veins/eclipse lake, mindscapes...)? and how he sometimes stops himself mid-sentence before he says too much? that could definitely be interpreted as info-dumping and special interests

how much he loves research in general? i just KNOW he loves knowing stuff and reading up on stuff and memorizing cool fun facts (him immediately reading all the grimwalker books he could find after finding out that's what he is- like obviously he did that, obviously he wanted to know what he is. but also just..... it's so, so very huntercore)

taking things literally.. wanting clearer/more direct instructions on stuff......

“i don’t feel sick” 💀

him just turning around and walking away with no word right away after willow introduced the rest of the team

him not realizing emerald entrails rly didn't want to join the emperor's coven and not realizing he did sth wrong until later, when he noticed willow was upset

THE FREAKING. DELETED SCENE FROM CLOUDS ON THE HORIZON in which he automaticaly moved to climb the vines onto amity's balcony along with luz and didn't get why luz could possibly wanna be alone with amity before willow and gus stopped him. willow and gus saying "you'll understand when you're older" and then him arguing with flapjack how he IS older, JUST. LMAO....

the whole description of him as this...... “prodigy” and everything related to that (not necessarily a positive thing, considering how he was treated and described as by many adults)? the little intricacies of it.... hm

him being kinda bad at lying and making up stuff

and even his stance sometimes???? boy

and not just THIS one, but. many many different poses in which he stands sometimes. very hmmm hm

how direct he is?

also this is a headcanon/interpretation but him constantly wearing gloves? and him saying "why are you touching it [the selkidomus] with your hands? gross"? sensory issues. so real.

also the sounds he makes and his squeaks???? how he sometimes fidgets with his hands/thumbs?

and MORE, like there are also many many moments that can be interpreted as other autistic traits or behaviours, just. ALL OF IT.

the crew did say that they've written neurodivergence into the show and into who these characters are intentionally, even if they might not be aware of some terms or labels at times, so like... i’m 100% certain hunter’s purposely written to be neurodivergent. and i’m gonna be very surprised if not specifically autistic (+ ptsd ofc)

he just... is.

anyway...

#there's probably more stuff that i'm forgetting at this moment but i'm so serious that there's sth in like Every Single Scene he's in. LIKE #and when i say he's like literally the most relatable autistic rep in media............ nxjknsxjxksk #some of his things he's got going on are hunter things instead of autistic things yeah but sometimes a hunter thing = an autistic thing #also the symbolism behind him wearing vs not wearing his mask and acting slightly different depending on circumstances and the moment #and just. yeah.. yea #nicole answers #hunter toh #Anonymous #my toh talk

[gabessquishytum]

Hello, I’m the damsel fantasy anon, I love the no sex-ed virgin dream au, particularly the pregnancy stuff, thought I’d turn it around with Hob instead being the one to get knocked up: Hob’s pretty careful with his birth control and making sure Dream wears condoms, but he decides to ask Dream one night if he’s comfortable forgoing the condom, just this once, he wants to feel Dream cum inside him, and it turns out the stars aligned that night for his birth control to fail.

Dream knows in theory that condoms were for preventing pregnancy, because Hob explained all this to him one of the few times he taught Dream about sex through discussion instead of a hands-on demonstration, but Hob was accidentally a little vague about how it applied to him, so Dream thought the two of them only used condoms for std prevention or for the nebulous “safe sex” or something. He genuinely didn’t think he could get Hob pregnant despite Hob having a pussy, because they’re still both men (learning this reasoning later, Hob has no choice but to kiss him senseless)

So when Hob starts experiencing morning sickness and other symptoms, pregnancy is the last thing on Dream’s mind as he fusses over his sick boyfriend, and he straight up bluescreens when Hob sheepishly shows him a positive pregnancy test. When he reboots (and understands that this is in fact a thing (and after Hob kisses the shit out of him)) Dream is GLUED to Hob’s side, dedicating himself to waiting on him hand and foot, constantly staring at Hob’s growing belly with awe and wonder. Feeling the baby kick is a religious experience, that’s an entire baby in there! Dream and Hob’s baby! Dream manage to put a baby in Hob!

(The pregnancy sex is a whole other revelation, seeing Hob’s changing body day-by-day, the constant reminder that Dream managed to knock him up, oh hello breeding kink nice to meet you)

(If no one minds, is 🪽anon free to take?)

Dream being trans ally icon of the year while also being the most adorably clueless bastard ever? I love it, I'm kissing it. You are so welcome to be 🪽 anon!

Imagine how nervous poor Hob would be! He's not 100% sure that Dream wants to be with him longterm, and with a baby in the middle it's all about to get so complicated. Plus Hob doesn't really have a big family to support him. But he decides to keep the kid either way, and just hope that Dream is on board too.

First Dream is like "How? You're a boy?" And Hob cries a bit and kisses him and tries to explain as much as he can that he still has all the equipment for making a baby. That they have, in fact, made a baby. That he really really wants Dream to come to the first midwife appointment because he wants them to do this together.

And for Dream it's not even a question! There's nothing that's going to stop him from staying by Hob’s side. They're boyfriends, right? They'll get through the pregnancy together and when the baby comes they'll make it all work out, somehow. He kisses Hob’s belly (which Hob thought was so cringy when he saw other people do it but now he just melts).

On Hob’s masculine frame, his belly starts to pop rather quickly. Within a few short weeks his t-shirts are riding up and he has to slink off to the shops and buy a size up. Dream is unashamedly obsessed with the bump and if Hob isn't touching it (He gets this cute habit of resting his hand on his belly) then Dream is instead. Hob dresses in dungarees and big t-shirts, but also leggings and crop tops, because the summer heat is really starting to get to him. Dream buys him the most expensive frappes that he's craving all the time now, and makes him ice packs and gives him ankle rubs.

He also just goes ahead and buys an anatomy book. It's probably time that he should learn about his own body (and Hob’s) before any further happy accidents occur. And Hob definitely still seems interested in Dream’s dick despite all the trouble it's caused! His favourite thing is lying on his side while Dream fucks him from behind, hands cupped around Hob’s belly to keep him from slipping into an uncomfortable position. He can even fall asleep with Dream rocking into him, and claims that its the only time he feels comfortable.

The day when Dream refers to himself as "daddy" for the first time is also the day when Hob's cunt finally leaks through his underwear. Its kind of mortifying for him to explain to Dream that no, his water didn't break, he's just really that horny.

Could we perhaps get some headcanons about about Majima finding out that someone has a massive crush on him, but it's one of his subordinates in the Majima Family and how he'd react? Someone who's absolutely terrified of the man finding out since he's the 'boss' and all? If you're uncomfortable writing stuff about a boss/employee relationship I get it, don't worry about writing about it! Ik the dynamics can be really uncomfortable for some people, so if it's not something you wanna consider writing it's alright. Thank you!

SKSKKSK Majima moment fr fr let's GOOOO. If you want a follow up to this, lemme know as I've left it open ended.

The moment you realized you had feelings for your own boss was terrifying because... how does that even WORK in the yakuza world??!! Trying to keep it under wraps proves difficult and just makes it worse honestly. The more you try not to think about it, the more Majima occupies your mind.

If the rest of the family were completey honest with you, they been knew. Hell, many of them have felt drawn to Majima even if only in a platonic way. He's a charismatic leader and his fearlessness is intoxicating, so they kind of get it. They don't really say anything about it to you or Majima but it floats around in conversation amongst themselves from time to time.

Of course, you never intended for it to be this way. Most people don't get a job with the intention of falling in love with a coworker, especially people in THIS industry. It wasn't an immediate thing either. For a long time, you were just another grunt and he was just your boss.

The whole thing crept up on you like a predator lying in wait patiently to catch its prey. Before you knew it, you were working late hours, finding ways to talk to him by yourself, getting more involved in work than you could rationalize before it finally hit you: you like spending time around this guy.

The rest of the realization hits you in the head like a cartoonishly large hammer. How did you not notice before the way he smiled made your heart race? Or the way his eye would gleam, wild with intoxicating and infectious energy, before a fight would make you smile to yourself?

You try to parse these thoughts as you just admiring him strictly as a worker would look up to their boss or a student to a mentor, but your heart immediately betrays you. You can't deny that your eyes have lingered just a little too long on his chiseled muscles, his tattoo peaking out from underneath his jacket, the sharpness of his jawline, his hands that never seem to lose their dexterity.

While you come to terms with all of this, you kind of stall at work. Now every time he pokes his head up randomly to say hi, you're not quite yourself. You get nervous, you fumble your words more. Everyone notices, including him.

At first, Majima just thinks you had a bad day or something but the more it happens specifically only around him, his curiousity starts to get the better of him. He won't just straight up ask you just yet or even ask any of his men, but he's keeping his eye out.

It was only a matter of time before Majima overhead some of the other men talking about the fact that you've been noticably more flustered in front of the boss lately and how your little crush must really be taking a toll on you. Majima listens intently as they talk, his back pinned against the wall, eye pinned to the floor as he mulls over the information he just heard that clearly he was never meant to hear.

Still, it's not time for a confrontation just yet. Majima's interested in the whole situation but he's pretty closed off and he's not even sure himself if he's a relationship man. Plus, maybe his men misunderstood. He's got to put it to the test himself first, so he does exactly that.

Next thing you know, HE is the one going out of his way to see you all of the sudden, checking up on you throughout the day or asking to speak to you privately. Thinking that maybe you worried him, you regain your cool and suddenly you seem so normal. In private, this makes Majima frown. Had he imagined it? Surely not.

Fortunately for him, and maybe for you, Majima's a sly little bugger. He's going to test this theory out and if he's got to make a push, then so be it. You'll try to hide the shiver that runs up your spine when his gloved hand accidentally brushes against yours for an unusually long amount of time or when he stands a little closer than normal to you during a smoke break.

At this point, you're convinced he's at least suspicious of you, but what does it all mean? Are you overthinking it? Maybe it's a coincidence... do you say something? Say nothing? Wait it out? God, the suspense is killing you. Secretly, it's killing him a little too.

Being best friends with Mark

It was only until you were lying on his bed, half asleep in his dark blue hoodie that he realised how fast his heart was beating

Warnings : none (I only write fluff)

Genre : fluff, Bestfriend!Mark x Reader

What it would be like to be best friends with Mark (who you secretly like) [who secretly likes you too]

Appart of the : It's complicated series

• Now listen, Mark is a very awkward guy, but not with you

• He's someone you confide in

• You'd have deep late night talks about anything

• What your ideal world would be like, what would you do if scenarios

• He's very observant, and would listen intently to whatever you have to say

• He thinks that blue jeans are the only correct jean color which you agreed to disagree on

• He's SUPER gullible making him the perfect person to prank and his reactions are PRICELESS

• WILL get super defencive after finding out he's been tricked and WILL come up with an excuse

• "I didn't even belive that! Plus you're good at making stuff up you should like write books or something"

• If you ever do something great he'll make it seem like its 10 times better than it actually is and that it should be your career

• "Yo these cookies are like SO good you should like become a chef like seriously"

• You two would share food without really thinking about the fact thats an indirect kiss

• You'd even share icecream, but you wouldn't think of it that way

• You'd even wear his hoodies, but you wouldn't think of it that way

• You'd even made a playlist for eachother filled with love songs, but you wouldn't think of it that way

• You both liked R&B and most R&B songs are about love so it doesn't really mean anything

• The type of friend that can't walk in a straight line

• "Mark Lee, I am LITERALLY WALKING IN THE ROAD"

• If you sit next to eachother at school, he will take up all the space without realising because of something stupid like his left hand has to remain flat on the table at all times

• "Mark can you MOVE I HAVE NO SPACE"

• "But I can't write without my-"

• "I DON'T CARE PLEASE MOVE"

• Everything he does is so funny because he's just a naturally funny person

• You find yourself laughing at and with him A LOT like everything he says or does is so hilarious

• And you already know that mark laughs at everything

• So two people who laugh at everything put together is not a good combination

• You two would be laughing to the point where your cheeks and stomachs hurt for NO REASON

• Teachers KNOW not to put you next to eachother because in a silent classroom everything is ten times funnier and Mark in particular wouldn't be able to contain his loud ass laugh

• You two are pretty contempt at being just friends

• Until one day you two are eating at a resturant in celebration

• And your waitor mentions that you two would make such a cute couple

• Then Marks mind starts going places

• Starts thinking about the stuff you do together

• All the times you'd stolen his icecrean and ran off with it after he'd already eaten half of it

• The odd out of place songs in the R&B playlist you made for him which he listens to everyday that don't fit the vibe of the rest of the playlist like 'puppy love-gant' (very lovey dovey crush confession pop song)

• Or the ones that are R&B but the lyrics are a bit too specific like Japanese Denim by Daniel Caesar (chorous goes - my blue jeans, will last me all my life, basically LOTZ of emphasis on Blue jeans )

• It was only until you were lying on his bed, half asleep in his dark blue hoodie that he realised

• How absurd your relationship was

• And how absurdly fast his heart was beating

• And that he liked you

• But he could never tell you

• Or maybe he could, maybe he would

• He just doesn't know how you'd take it or if you'd like him back

• (You do)

• But

• For him, for you two, Its the fear of ruining what you already have that makes you stay as just friends

.

[horizon-verizon]

I don’t think you understand, guys, TG STRAIGHT ASS DENY EVERYTHING that is said about Aegon. 1) Dyana lied (for money or because she just wanted some free moon tea, I’m not gonna look for those comments, and even if he did it, it was the first time) 2) he never raped Helaena, he cares about her, they had a platonic bond but understood their duties 3) “who do you believe ? Mushroom ? He lied !”, I’m not joking, those are real comments.

Meanwhile it's SEPTON EUSTACE NOT MUSHROOM, who says that Aegon had a 12 yr old "paramour" that he--like many real-life tgreenies that you already showed--tries to play off as her being a good enough social status to excuse it all.

And what baby? they cannot either provide any damn proof that Dyana was either lying or that she was just naming Aegon as the father of a supposed child growing in her...bc we don't even know that there was one! Alicent gives her the tea jic, as tg like to deny, she was more concerned with getting rid of any evidence that Aegon raped a maid and to prevent any more bastards that would sully both Helaena's, her own, and the entire greens' image!

Finally, Helaena says they only do any sexual activity when he's drunk and idk about you but:

they were never shown to be close nor do we see evidence of Aegon "caring" for Helaena as a real brother in any scene (he mocks her back in epi 7, and in epi 8 he obviously is silently begging for her to keep her mouth shut, annoyed that she's even speaking); these are the only scenes where we see them actually physically close together apart from when Helaena enters just as Alicent is laying in on Aegon for messing up their image, so where does this idea that he cared for her or that they were close siblings come from other than their own desire for it?

drunk sex is never good sex from what I hear bc your faculties are impaired & you can't respond to sensory information as well as you can sober. It's not something that the non-drunk person will seek or invite or enjoy, so the fact that they continue having "sex" this way after the first time indicates that Helaena really just bears with Aegon's presence. In the words of Alicent, she "sacrifices". Plus, someone who doesn't respect personal boundaries or "no" is not going to relegate their impatience and insistence to those they usually harass (this case, the maids). When Aegon is sober, he does this; how much more when he doesn't like Helaena, has his faculties down, and already SAs girls & women? Which is likelier? That he observes her reactions to him and tries to adapt his movements to bring her assurance and comfort and only touches her after talking things out? Or he continues to do stuff even with her being visibly reluctant? Aegon could also take Helaena's lack of enthusiasm during the sex" as her "unfairly" resenting him, and that's not "fun" for someone like Aegon. So he's likely to resent her even more and now they are in a cycle of preventable misery...for Helaena., who could have had something better with literally most other men. (Aegon would be who he is forever and he feeds into a lot of his own "misery" and self loathing, no "hope" for him. Thinks too much of himself as a victim w/o considering others' PoVs). Their "sex" be a chore at best and highly distressing (for Helaena) at worst. Not to mention its insulting bc wdym you can only "get it on" with me when you have "liquid courage"?!!!

With all this in mind, Helaena, like most people, is not likely to want to pursue any sexual activity with Aegon of her own enthusiastic free will. Helaena seems to take most things "in stride" in in the sense that she doesn't think or feel she can do anything anyway to stop what's happening to her, so might as well do the stuff she likes to do quietly. sorry, but, how is this indicative of her regarding her "sex" with Aegon as "something that just needs to happen for duty" and not her being trapped and trying to make the best of things so she/a woman doesn't slide into complete misery?

It’s been a while since we’ve had sito headcanons!!! Have there been any additions to the world building of sito since the last time???

There have been a couple of things! Or at least more things that I can kinda comfortably mention lol:

So we officially have Price being in love with Nikolai now, however they aren't together (yet) they just pine and literally everyone around them knows

Price no longer got his hat from Alex in universe, instead he got it from Nikolai which we will learn more about in the NikPrice one-shot (still working on it, its gonna be so long 😭)

You guys get some stuff on Price's sister now that I've officially started building her (thank you therapist is laswell's wife anon)

Her name is Josephine Laswell (Price), she took Laswell's last name while they were married.

She's an on base therapist who typically does short term sessions with people, and usually they are sessions that the soldiers specifically sign up for, not ones they are forced into

However, Price knows that a lot of times therapists will just sign through the papers for the military members far too quickly, and he wanted to make sure Roach was okay so he asked his sister to take him on as a patient since he knew she would actually fully make sure he was okay before sending him back into the field.

She only goes by her first name on base, it was a request from both Price and Laswell who didn't want her getting caught up in their work if something happened. Because of that her name tags only ever say "Dr. Jo" or "Dr. Josephine"

Price calls her Josie as a nickname and Laswell calls her Pheenie as a nickname

Soap definitely doesn't tell his family when he brings Ghost and Roach home with him for the first time

Like he talks to his family at least once a week on a big family video call, and straight up sometimes Ghost and Roach will just be chilling in the background so they assume that Soap has told his family

Then they go home with him and meet them for the first time and Soap's mom is like "John why didn't you tell us you had boyfriends!!!"

Then its just a big jumble of Scottish words as the entire family start like jumping on Soap who is returning with just as much energy

Then suddenly it just stops and Mama MacTavish is like "anyways, you two both come inside its so nice to meet you, here let me give you a hug"

Also Roach definitely thinks he is the youngest out of their trio until Soap finally admits (gets caught) about lying about his age and Roach finds out that he and Soap are actually the same age and he legit gets so excited about it just because now when Soap tries to pull the "older and wiser" card he gets to throw it back in his face

Was thinking about Roach's first life again and particularly his childhood and thought I'd give some more on that plus a fun behind the scenes

When Roach thinks about that memory from when he was a child of his dad throwing him into the river, he remembers the location. A long dirt Roach through the woods leading to a little river with a bridge and highway above it

Fun facts, I actually used a place that my family used to go when I was younger as inspiration for the place. So the place where Roach got thrown into the river is technically real and exists in Arkansas lmao

I think Roach, in his first life, because he spend so much time trying to get out of his house to get away from his parents spent a lot of time in the woods around his house

Spending time in the woods meant getting use to all sorts of critters/creatures as well as getting good at spotting things like snakes so that he could avoid him

That being said he was definitely the type of southern kid/teen who would go outside for like five minutes then come back up to the house with a snake in one hand and a possum in the other lmao

He's never mentioned that he really isn't afraid of any animals to the 141 before

Jackson knows because he definitely watched Roach pick up enough random ass snakes/rats/whatever else during their time on Griggs squad. Point is, Roach has no fear

The 141 discover this bit by bit

They're tracking through the woods toward one of their objectives and suddenly Roach rushes forward and grabs Price, pulling him to a stop

The whole team are confused/lowkey annoyed until Roach steps forward and picks up the snake that Price was about to step on

A rat ends up running into the break room on base. Gaz freaks tf out and refuses to get off of the couch. Roach walks in and within like two minutes is carrying the rat outside in his hands

Just little things like this that the 141 eventually have to get used to because it's just part of Roach's charm lmao

Roach's first kiss in his first life was with the son of his church's homophobic ass preacher. They would sneak away from after church activities and into the woods to "hang out" which for two repressed teenage gays really just meant making out

Roach genuinely thought he was going to marry that guy and their relationship lasted until Roach decided he was going to leave. He asked him to leave with him

He said no because he was too afraid to tell his parents yet. Roach never held it against him, but their relationship ended and Roach never saw him again after he left

The same boy did exist in his new life, but Roach stayed clear of him because of Simon/the mental age difference

Currently, both Ghost and Price have both had glimpses of their first life through dreams

I've mentioned Jackson having struggles with sudden loud noises and flashes of light due to his first life, but I think he also has issues with planes/aircrafts because of the memory of the crash

Jackson is also a southern boy, thinking from like Louisiana. He can kinda turn his accent on and off, but most of the time it onlycomes out when he's passionate/in the middle of sex. He can also speak Louisiana French

Honestly my idea of what Jackson looks like changes every two seconds he's like a chameleon so he has like no in universe appearance yet dkfnfn

His sense of style however? Stylish man to say the least

Like somehow always looks put together, even in sweatpants and a tee shirt. It kinda pisses Gaz off sometimes, but most of the time he's just like "God damn my boyfriend is hot."

Headcanon that Gaz loves spicy foods and assumes that Jackson can't take any spice so he puts some in his food at one point to prank him

He's terrible surprised when Jackson just eats the food with no issue. Jackson has to be like "babe I've literally grown up eating Cajun food have you never had Cajun food" and then he makes Gaz something with a lot of spice and Gaz is the one who ends up not able to handle it sjfbjfndjdj

Cajun! Jackson my beloved

Okay, so here's the thing. I believe we've established the fact that Lance is David's son to his very core. Not very outgoing, heart of gold, a fighter, a survivor. Plus he believes everything Max does is cool and if we bring IALS into the mix he is pretty obsessed with Max so I'd say definately David's child.

And then he goes around and pulls shit like this and my brain just goes: "He is also Max's son sucker!", because honestly that was such a Max move, I needed a moment to remind myself this was Lance's chapter. The "my papa loves me so much that when I die he'll be devasted so I'll make him hate me by being a cunt so he won't be devastated when I'm gone" move that Lance made? Not an original buddy! It's already been done, by your dad, when he made his bapak believe that he'll sacrifice him when he was actually planning on sacrificing himself. And guess what? It did not work! And it will not work for you either Lance! (Note to Lance, have Gwen pass it on to him please?). And I'm gonna go ahead and guess that Max won't know about it until quite later onto the plot? I mean he'll know that something is up with Lance but he will mention it to David and he'll be like "Mon ange please leave it alone" . Because I feel like if he does catch on about what Lance said to David he'll confront him about it and Lance will tell him the truth about why he said what he said. And if that happens I need Max to tell him this story. I need him to know that his thing he does is never gonna work. Oh god, so much pain.

I'm not even gonna talk about the Theia stuff because it also reminds me of TLND Max. When he pretended that David was trivial to him when David was his everything? Why is Lance picking up Max's coping mechanisms, Lance buddy you're smarter than this! Oh can someone please tell him that making the live of his life believe he isn't worth it didn't work with David and it won't work with Theia either? Again, painn

Here's something I didn't expect to hurt me as much as it did. Mavid. Did David seriously lie to Max? When did those two get to the point where they lie to each other? I mean hide stuff from each other is something but straight up lying in each other's faces? That's another thing altogether. What I'd happening to them and can someone please snap their heads straight and remind them that they are Max and David and it's them against the world and they should be inseparable instead of lying to each other?? Also, did Max go to see Mina? I feel like he went to see Mina, even though I'm secretly hoping it's Rafael. I have a wild imagination.

Also, the "your love gets people hurt" like from IALS making it to LBAF hurts a lot more than it should, Dani whyy😭 And please explain what happened to my sweet baby AJ, was he sad because of Régine( whom I want to smack almost as much as her mother at this point) or was it something else?

I'm sorry if this is long or blant, it's literally all my thoughts while reading this I couldn't contain them. But hey, here are some tik toks I found to make the pain a little better.

This audio feels like Theia and Cami talking about Lance and it makes me laugh so hard😂

Not exactly happy but this soundtrack when Lance closes the door after the whole Mia/Theia fiasco

A little gift for Arthur( and the rest of us Kincaid stans)

Again not very happy but this is Rafael about Max isnt it?

FMF Max about his husband probably

This is giving me serious Lance/Max vibes watching Theia/David unleash their anger on someone

Max/David and Lance/Arthur dynamic?

Okay that's it for noww🌷

PS: I'm so sorry your work is keeping you so busy these days, I hope you find the strength to push forward and end all your work while also find little things to make you happy and make it a little better💛

MAN, I NEED THIS AFTER THE DAY I HAD. THANK YOUUUU.

I'm so glad to see you noticed that Lance pulled the EXACT same move Max did in Edom. Except Max's thing only lasted like two days 😬. Max will notice it (only a little). But it's Arthur who notices it first (my perceptive babygirl). We'll talk about this whole thing later. It's like a whole plot point so yeah we have time :)

TLND David and LBAF Theia be like "that sign can't stop be because i can't read" lol.

Also, I'm not sure what you meant by the "lying" bit. Were you referring to the part where David lied about him being the car instead of Lance? Also, interesting how you differentiate between lying and omission because Max is hiding some pretty big stuff from David 😅

Arthur was sad because Kincaid didn't acknowledge him at the party and pretended like he didn't know Arthur 😕 (also he danced with Theia which made Arthur realize he won't get to dance with Kincaid like that)

Thank you for the tiktoks, bebe. That cami and theia tiktok was ON point and the FMF one made me giggle looool. Also, that last dynamic is David/Lance 🥰

Work got busy because of my own dumb-assery because I wanted to work with some new people and took on some new work and now i am regret. But it's a short project and should be over by November so I just need to survive this cursed month.

ALSO I REALLY HOPE YOU'RE READY FOR BRAZILIAN GP BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD, FAM.

Loooooooove you.

🤥 for your whole main cast of Danganronpa OCs (if you don't mind!)

📖 and 🎭 for Setsuna

💧 for Soseki!!

(this is for that oc ask game :])

🤥 - Are they good liars? Do they have tells to show they're lying?

Setsuna - Not necessarily a good liar. He doesn't like very often but he will tell a white lie to catch a suspect in their own if he needs to and is very good at that. But other than that, he's honest to a fault.

Haruki - A very good liar. He only lies when he feels he needs to and if he's caught will have five backups to keep up the performance.

Naoko - So-so liar. She never really feels the need to lie, she'll just tell you you're an idiot to your face because it's quicker and easier.

Kyoshi - An expert liar. I mean, he lives a double life as a civilian/phantom thief. You need to be good at lying to live a life like that. Plus I mean, he lies to himself to make the Killing Game tolerable so y'know.

Ayano - Terrible liar, gets way too nervous and flustered and gets all jittery.

Mizuki - Never really lies? She's loud and proud and honest to a fault. The only time she lies is when she's made a mistake and doesn't wanna admit it, but even then it's just more an awkward "... No?"

Tokuhei - Pretty good liar. He doesn't lie too often but he does enjoy messing with people and will tell little white lies as pranks or too protect others and very rarely gets caught.

Takamori - A terrible liar. He has the confidence to lie and put on a convincing act, it's just the stuff he lies about is so ridiculous and out there you'd have to be an idiot to believe him.

Minako - A decent liar, although she tends to focus more on lying by omission instead of coming up with stories.

Akihiro - Awful liar. Like Ayano, gets way too jumpy and is way too paranoid about being caught.

Sumiko - Not good. It's more that she has difficulty keeping all the facts in order and remembering the details of her fabrications so she decides it's not worth the effort.

Chinami - Decent liar. Is good at keeping a consistent story and her usual poker face is really good at hiding her intentions but will get really angry and defensive once you start poking holes in her story.

Kirara - Again, doesn't really lie? She's too outgoing and friendly for that. It never really occurs to her to lie sometimes.

Hiromu - Reeealllly bad. Feels way too guilty about lying and will usually confess after a while, not to mention cannot make eye contact. He usually looks down at the floor or hides under his hat.

Nene - Doesn't even attempt to lie, she knows she's too nervous to pull it off.

Soseki - Really good. He keeps his story straight and has the confidence to back it up, but if even one detail is proven false, you can see a slight glimmer of panic in his eyes.

📖 - Do they like reading? What's their favourite genre?

He does enjoy reading, although he reads a lot more manga and comics than he does novels. But he enjoys character driven stories because he likes to figure out what goes on in the characters head's and he tends to get really, really attached to fictional characters.

🎭 - Do they act differently around certain people? What's different between the way they act around family, friends, strangers, etc?

There's not too much difference in the way he acts. He's always very friendly and supportive but he acts more professional when interviewing people for his articles and the closer you to him, the more open he is and the more sensitive he appears. Although, he doesn't really have a good relationship with his parents so he tends to be pretty tense and closed off around them.

💧 - Random angst headcannon

Soseki's vision tends to become pretty clouded when he's in a bad headspace and it makes it difficult for him to think clearly... Sure would be a shame if someone took advantage of that.

Part 2

Im thinking of posting this story in ao2 instead because its kinda long but im so happy for everyone who liked the first part i am so nervous writing this 😭

You get up bringing your backpack and books heading towards the empty sits near Eddie “If it isn’t the party animal of Hawkins” a smug look spreads across his face as he leans back in his chair. “Party animal? Please i threw up at a couple of parties if anything that makes me a buzzkill” your screwed Valerie is usually the one who leads the projects while you just follow. “Listen Munson i need you to take this serious my ass on the line here. This is a major grade remember.” you have a C in this class already cause of Mrs. Williamson strict rules, so far you feel like she has a personal vendetta on you from the way she grades you. “Yea yea yea Mrs. Hargrove i get it ill pay attention.” He threw his head back as if he was dreading this already, but you ignored him so you sat your stuff down pulling your history book “first its Y/l/n and second where is your book? Our project is about Julius Caesar so we need to look at information.” He nervously started to drum his fingers on his desk while chewing his bottom lip “Yea so about that” here we go…..”i sorta don’t have one” i mean were you really that surprised tho? We are talking about Eddie ‘third time repeating senior year’ Munson “We can share my book i don’t mind.” You push your book in the middle so that way he can get a better view of the chapter. You take out your notebook and start writing down ideas about the project “For a party bimbo you look like your having fun studying” he grinned from ear to ear “Haha who exactly is the bimbo here? Plus history is just old juicy gossip and rumors if you think about it.” You smile at your own sarcasm as he puts his hand on his chest looking offended “Okay ouch and I don’t think George Washington having musty wooden dentures is juicy gossip. Thats just straight up sad.” You stop writing down facts about Julius Caesar and look at him. “Look at you and here i thought you didn’t know who our first President was.” you both start laughing. Talking to Eddie seemed so natural but you know Valerie is probably having a stroke right now because ‘his a bad influence and we shouldn’t associate ourselves with people like him’. You loved Valerie and she had a good heart but her rich influence gets the best of her. “Ill make a list of topics i need you to look more information on.” he grunted something along about ‘how much a pain in the ass this is’ “Um how am i supposed to look up these things if i don’t have a textbook princess?” He wiggled the paper you wrote. You pushed the paper out of your face “its Y/l/n and what haven’t you heard of the library before?” He looked at the paper looking at your handwriting

* Julius Caesar joined the military

* His secret alliance

* His enemies

* Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony, Cleopatra love triangle

* Need any questions or help 317-90–

He smirked while pointing at the last thing on the list “Woah whats this? You trying to hit on me Y/l/n? What will Billy think about us?” You rolled your eyes snatching the paper back and pointing on the phone number “This! Is for project emergencies only, if its not project related i’ll hang up“ you give him back the paper, just as he grabs it his smirk drops. “WOW you weren’t lying about the buzzkill part huh. Speaking of buzzkill how is the Misters? Still using defenseless nerds as stress punching bags?“ You lean your head to your hand closing your eyes, the last argument Billy and you had was about him to stop beating up other students. You knew how Billy can be and even though he never put his hands on you, you tried your best to make sure he didn’t put his hands on others too. “Why do you ask? Trying to apply for part-time punching bag?” You open your eyes to see him put his hands like a scale “Jason Carver or Billy Hargrove?” You and Eddie start laughing while you slap his hands down. “Here i thought you were gonna be pissed the entire time.” You turn back to your notebook to continue to writing but stop. Does he think I would be mad at him for that rumor going around that his in a cult? Who even believes in that? “No? Why would I be mad its just a stupid rumor thats not even true.” He turns to look at you shocked “Oh so it’s not true?” Your face scrunches up in confusion “Wait what? What are we even talking about?” Eddie turns his head looking around then back at you “I thought you were gonna be pissed cause of that rumor going around that Billy was with another chick last ni-“ you interrupt him before he finishes “who told you that.” Your mind goes blank yet your blood is slowly boiling “Gareth but everyone was talking about it I thought yo-” The bell rings and you quickly get your stuff speeding down the hallway towards the girls restroom leaving a confused Eddie at the classroom. You hear Valerie calling out your name telling you to wait for her but right now you need to think properly before you do something stupid. That skinny jean, mullet haircut, daddy issues having motherfucker is going to pay. After pushing a group of girls your finally in the restroom and head towards the stalls and locking it. You drop stuff on the floor and in a moment of exasperation you take off Billy’s denim jacket and scream in it. Why do i keep letting him treat me like shit? You would think some how some way he would actually change seeing how hard he tries to get my attention after he fuck ups. You hear the door open and footsteps stopping in-front of the stall your in. “Valerie I’m not in the mood right now.” You look down to your lap fidgeting with the jacket, I should fucking burn this- “I’m sorry” you left up your head confusion quickly replacing your intrusive thoughts. “Earlier you asked me what the other classmates were talking about…..and i didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t want to see you upset. I’m sorry i should have told you.” You slowly open the stall door to see Valerie grabbing her long black denim skirt and looking down. Valerie may be classist, stuck up, snob and a big fat know-it-all but she has a sweet heart that only you have the privilege to see. You wrap your arms around her “I’m not mad at you Val. I’m just upset that he would do that to me….again god Im stupid.” Valerie broke up the hug and looked at her watch and grabbed your hand “Lets go” but you pull back staying in place. “Val listen I don’t want to go to the next class right now.” She turned to you with that straight face she always has on “Who says we’re going to the next class?” She goes back to the stall to pick up your stuff you dropped and grabs your hand heading out the restroom door. “Then where are we going?” We stop infront of her locker while she gets her keys “To the mall.” Your eyes pop out, did Miss. ‘Never Missed A School Day’ just say mall? “Woah woah woah! If your mom finds out she will kill ME. Not you me!” She continues to drag you out the school with a smirk on her face “What can i say? Your a bad influence y/n”

Friendly Advice or Consultation is Welcome/Needed

I find myself preoccupied tonight with a conundrum of conscious that I'm conflicted on.

See, my old man is on the final level of hospice - fading fast - in fact, a few days ago it looked like he wasn't gonna make it ... which, funny enough, was also the same day that a bunch of psychopaths were going at me here, including that creepy weirdo who literally sends me hate in my inbox like once a month cause they claim "You're lying about the lore ... and I hope they expose you!"

God, fuck off loser, don't you have anything better to do today?

Either way, I love going to bed across the house from my dying dad, thinking I'm gonna be without a father for the rest of my life when I wake up, and my phone is blowing up, cause, some Blackcel galaxy brain can't google properly, and is stalking my blog cause I think the Velaryon's are overrated corporate trash.

Which, you know, it's the internet ...

Luckily I kept my old man breathing his final breaths to myself or I'm sure I was gonna get some fucking loser sending me messages about how they hope my old man dies ... Cause, it's the internet, and they think some mediocre, milk-toast, actress with made up pronouns who hates them are more important than common fucking decency.

But whatever ... Like I said, internet.

Anyway.

So for about six months the hospice care that Medicare is paying for - mostly - has assigned volunteers that come over once a week and spend time with the patients. I guess I can see their point, and I'm not against it in principle. However, I'm conflicted about this ... which is why I'm writing this rare personal post.

So the guy that has been coming over for months now is a really - REALLY - weird dude.

Let me preface.

I'm a trained Detective, I broke the curve for deductive reasoning at University aptitude test that had FBI and other Government Agencies trying to recruit me. The Austin Police Department offered to pay my college tuition if I committed to joining their police force after University, including requesting me to join specialized courses at the Central Headquarter downtown.

I've solved two - TWO - century old crimes - one of which was from using water irrigation records from 1898 - 1908 to exonerate an innocent man and his reputation nearly a century after he died a broken shell who everyone thought was crazy.

I'm not bragging, I'm prefacing this by saying that I'm a very good judge of people and situations.

And there was something incredibly wrong with the man that the Hospice care people sent over. When you meet him, when you talked to him, there is nothing - NOTHING - behind his eyes. He is nice, he is amiable, maybe a bit awkward, but he seemed an empty. And both my mom and I did not like him. I found him incredibly off putting and my mom found him so creepy that she didn't want him anywhere near her.

But it was part of the Hospice program, so we couldn't really say no.

Anyway, so this guy, he strikes up a friendship with my dad - who can barely see and needs a walker to get around. After only a few weeks, he starts staying way past the time allotted. The volunteers are only supposed to stay for two hours - at maximum. This guy started staying for five, six, and even seven hours once.

Now, I work at night straight through the morning ... it's what I've done for nearly a decade. So most of this stuff happens in the late-morning to mid-afternoon, while I'm asleep. So I can't police it all that much. Plus, I just don't like talking to that guy. But I've complained to my mom about it, cause, I don't like the idea of being asleep with that guy in my house alone with my crippled old man.

So, my mother has complained for months to the Hospice Care People about this guy overstaying his welcome. Even my dad was getting annoyed about his long overstaying. But nothing was ever done.

Well, it turns out that the reason that nothing was ever done was, because, his girlfriend is in charge of the volunteers. And, not only that, but he's not actually a part of the system. He's a 'off the books' volunteer that the Hospice Care approves of because his girlfriend is in charge.

So, I went to my mother and I put my foot down, saying "absolutely not" and that the guy has got to go. My mother agreed strongly and she tried to get him taken off my dad's schedule. Then, we've come to find out that he's not even really a volunteer. That he's a retired Postman that his tired girlfriend is basically pawning off on my dad (and me) to give him something to do. And last week, when he was here, we found out that he is moving out of girlfriend's house and that they're having relationship issues and he is in a bad place mentally and emotionally.

My mom, finally put her foot down and said no to the hospice care people. Under no circumstances is he allowed back in the house. Then, today, the guy called my dad, crying and upset, after being told that he wasn't allowed to come back. Apparently, his time with my old man is the only thing he's looking forward too anymore. And my dad reneged on my mom's orders to Hospice as long as he adhere's to the rules (my rules) about no more than two hour and not after 6 PM.

When my mom found out, she completely lost her shit - like full four-alarm freak out.

Now my old man is crying, cause he wants attention, cause, he feels he can't talk to anyone - which is his own fault for fucking up his relationship with me - and I got a potential nutjob that sets off so many red flags calling my dad crying cause his life is over. And my dad is blaming me, cause he says that I won't allow him to have friends, because, I'm strict about people visiting - that aren't family - getting two hours and then fucking off.

So, I don't know.

On one hand, I feel bad, cause the dude, despite looking and feeling very unhinged, has never done anything to warrant banning - other than staying way past the time that it is socially or personally acceptable. He's having a bad go of it in life right now, and he wants somewhere to go once a week. But I feel that it's not the place or position that a dying man with only months left should be put in. Also, I got a really, really, bad vibe from the guy the last time he was here.

I don't want to judge him, cause, I often deal with and judge people the way I would want to be judged, especially nerdy guys ... cause I'm a nerd myself - despite playing American Football for years - and I know what its like to be socially awkward and anxious.

But there is just something off about this guy ... and with his girlfriend trying to get rid of him so hard, and him being visibly disturbed, I just don't want him in my house anymore.

If you've made it this far down the post, I thank you for reading and would love any feedback or advice.

#Personal Post #A Very Rare Insight Into My Real Life On This Hell Site

[worldofalore]

Escaping the Doi Caverns

I’m back as promised to tell you about the Doi, or rather, how to escape the Doi caverns. See, for a place where living so simple, leaving is all but impossible. Or rather I guess I should say leaving alive is nearly impossible. If you’re dead, leaving is quite simple as the people of the Doi will merely lower the final net, and let the currents take your body much as the way you’d arrived.

Getting out alive is a million times harder than that. The Shauling River is no less fierce because it now flows beneath the surface, in fact I’d dare say it’s a lot worse. Up on the surface, there’s a shore you can at least try and make it to. Down below, the currents just bounce around, slamming any and everything into the walls as it goes. Plus, the water levels have been known to fluctuate so there are often stretches where you’re trapped underwater with no air to breathe depending on the season. Naturally that means there’s nowhere for the bioluminescent moss and stuff to grow so the whole trip is in pitch blackness. And of course if that’s not enough, it’s not a straight path.

Every so often, the paths branch off and often reach dead ends. The current in these dead end caverns is so strong as water races in that one wrong turn can be your death. If the currents don’t immediately kill you, getting back to the main path while fighting the current is all but impossible so you can get trapped in a cave on your boat and starve to death.

Oh yeah, I didn’t mention the boats before did I? So, It’s a long journey. Like you’re traveling from the Southern reaches of Erothe all the way to the northern reaches of Feirr, where you get spit out on the coast. That’s about a 2,000 mile journey, and the river may be fast but it’s not that fast. I’ve done the math for you, don’t worry. The Shauling - or at least, the underwater portions, moves at around 15mph in most places, but it’s rather slow going as at every branch you need to stop and decide the way. Overall, the trip takes an average of 3 weeks. That’s 3 weeks worth of provisions you need to bring with you, and let’s not forget that certain sections you’ll need to be lying flat on the boat so that you can get under the low clearance - or the times when you and the boat are completely forced underwater.

Back to the trip itself, you need to figure out a light source. Sure, you can bring some of the moss and lichen but that won’t be enough to light your way when you’re picking a route - although it’s highly recommended to cover your boat in it so you can see it if you’re forced out for any reason.

Sleeping? Well, you better bring a chain and some strong grapple hook with you because you’ll need to hook yourself onto the rocks at night and pray that it doesn’t break free. This works best if there’s two of you trying to make it out, that way you can take watch turns. But make sure to tie your boats together with a longer cord!

If you can convince someone to come with you on this death trip, it should be great right? Having companionship? But the river is so loud that in most places you’d barely be able to hear one another if you screamed! If you happen to know the unspoken language of Crierd and have enough light, you’ll be set though!

Assuming you manage to make it out alive, you’ll find yourself off the coast of Feirr and you’re free to live. However, as part of the deal with being allowed to take supplies from the community you’re forbidden to speak of Doi. Long ago, a blood Ashi wrote a simple contract agreeing that you can never return to your old life or home so as not to reveal the truth of Doi, and you can’t tell others of it. And yeah I know I know the shi should still have ahold of me but being outside off world seems to have broken it’s hold? Or maybe the magic doesn’t work with this kind of telling and writing. Who even knows to be honest…

i don't really care if you post this or not, up to you, but regarding the creator of the sun/moon bi flags (assuming you mean a blog name starting with b, ending with cat, and has a hypen in the middle), i'm also friends with them directly!

anyways it's worth mentioning that gothamspride (VERY popular icon edit blog) has a lot to do with this rumor. they're unnecessarily petty about punishing flag creators that they disagree with over minor topics and like to write original posts putting them on blast just because they don't hate certain types of queer people. they created their own sun/moon bi flags out of spite, which it sounds like you already know about, and in the original version - which i should have a reblogged version of - before it was edited, they specifically mentioned that blog and i thought it was distasteful.

they even harassed a couple of new blogs the other day about "stealing" the ___spride url format and copying an editing style they think they "own" despite the fact that they made it clear they would never make a tutorial and show others how to do what they do, so how could it have been copied? plus it's really easy and i've seen a million blogs know how to do it already. the people they sent that ask to debunked all their claims and i just find it all ridiculous. nobody should be taking that seriously, i hope.

just thought you'd wanna know some of this if you weren't already aware. gothamspride treats people poorly for not acting like they're the authority over everything queer and editing and they have a lot of followers so i'm afraid of calling them out or saying anything on main. if you want my url for trust purposes or whatever let me know and i'll come back off anon but please don't answer that publicly if i do!

Yeah, seeing their post straight-up lying on the internet about the sun and moon bi flags was what inspired my post about it.

I didn’t know about all that other stuff though. I guess it makes sense. Average LGBT+ discourse enjoyer.

spare some facts about cillian? 👐 i think "retconning" ocs and making new ones is such a fascinating process

oh anon im so sorry i didnt see this wth !!! thank u so much for asking abt my mans ive been so excited to introduce him and talk abt him over the last couple days !

like i said before cillian is heavily inspired by my last hawke, emeraude, mainly in that they're both half elven. cillian is technically bethany & carver's half brother, and not related to leandra by blood. he was malcolm's first child with an antivan elf who ran away to ferelden (disclaimer i havent played mota and im a lil rusty on the lore so this could still be up for changing lol). she died when cillian was about 2, so he doesn't remember her much and as far as he's concerned leandra is his real mother

all he has of his mother is an old green onyx pendant of hers which he wears under his clothes. he doesn't like letting people seeing it including his fam bc he doesn't want them to think they aren't "enough" for him if that makes sense

he's a rogue! tossing up between shadow & assassin but def another dual wielder like elspeth.

he's a very talented painter as well! though he doesn't do it a lot because after his father's death he became the main breadwinner and he felt obligated to put his energy into more practical stuff. so when he was doing crimes he mainly worked whatever capentry jobs he could find. after act 1 when he comes into the amell wealth he begins painting again.

he and carver both fought at ostagar, and cillian nearly died. the iconic red slash hawke usually has is, in cillian's case, a keloid scar from a darkspawn blade that nearly took his damn nose off :/ that, plus carver's death, plus just the horror of the blight itself and losing his home, TRULY traumatized tf out of him and when he does begin painting again, the blight is a strong inspiration for him. he finds a new appreciate for nature, flowers and plantlife, untainted by the blight. he also misses the forests of ferelden and it takes him a while to get acquainted with city life.

he's always had the lifelong nickname ciller like. like killer lol. it started innocently enough but when he got into his shadier line of work it really stuck. ironically varric is the ONLY person (with anders later) who doesn't use that name, because he notices straight away how uncomfortable and unhappy it makes him. varric just calls him hawke :)

he's very self conscious of his elven heritage. for most of his life he hides the tips of his ears under his hair, until about act 3 when he's accumulated enough power and cynicism confidence to not really gaf anymore.

he's primarily a blue!hawke, although it's a bit murky especially as he becomes more of a mythical figure to kirkwall and less of a person. he's also very reserved and likes hiding vulnerability behind humor. so with a few exceptions most of his friends think of him as a purple hawke, whereas the city sees him as red. at his core though, he's very gentle, thoughtful and selfless to a fault. he can be a complete pushover and really doesn't know how to say no to people, because he's so desperate for love and approval and acceptance. being a half-brother and also being half elven has always made him feel a bit like an outsider everywhere he went, and he compensates by doing the MOST for people who arguably dont deserve it.

speaking of that, cillian is an anders-mancer like i said the other day. after the chantry mess cillian is so broken up over it, but he forgives anders anyway and continues to protect him. he does that by lying and telling everybody that he killed anders so that nobody will look for him. varric and isabela are the only two who know the truth, and subsequently the name "ciller" inevitably sticks even though its. literally not true :(

sorry this was so lengthy but i have so much to say abt him and im thankful that you asked! i havent played da2 in years and this is actually gonna be my first full replay, so if there are any lore issues i'll get around to adjusting them eventually

#oc: cillian #TY FOR ASKING MWAH #honestly the whole half elven thing was inspired by me resenting the way leandra treats hawke in a lot of dialogue #i appreciate her as a complicated character and i dont wanna condemn her as a bad mother or anything but idk i sensed a lot of resentment? #so the 'bastard' narrative kinda makes sense for me even though there's still a lot of love between all of them #it also adds for extra angst that hawke loses two mothers. god. whyd i do this hhhhhhh #rapidly realizing over the last two days how absolutely tragic all my da ocs are #i hope the misery opportunities in da4 are just as lucrative

The Various Character Problems and how I’ve dealt with some of them

(plus an episode list for seasons one and two please ask me questions it’s the only way I feel valid in posting this stuff)

Finally decided to talk more about my rewrite unprompted and what better way than to talk about the holes I have in fact, walked myself into and how I’ve mostly managed to deal with them. For both my convenience and yours, I have ordered these in a numbered list from the most dealt with to the least dealt with.

1. The Félix Problem

Felix was by far the easiest to deal with, especially since I got rid of the zodiac kwamis and changed what the peacock miraculous does. Rather than assistant to the emotional terrorist, Félix is Adrien’s kinda shady cousin. He still does get some people akumatized in his debut episode (which might also mark Alya’s first akumatization cause there’s zero way my Alya would think Chloé is Ladybug), but he makes no attempts to kiss Ladybug while disguised as Adrien and does explain why he did what he did and is mostly sorry for it. He then continuously and kind of sporadically pops up for the rest of season three, especially given that season three takes place from May to August.

2. The Lila Problem

Why was main problem came in the fact that I didn’t know if I wanted to use her canon-ish portrayal or pre-Volpina fanon interpretation. Not to reveal my age I guess, but I was watching miraculous ladybug before Lila was introduced, and all we got was a teaser image of the back of Volpina’s head. I was there in the fandom whenever everyone thought Vino was gonna be Chat Noir’ rival for Ladybug’s affection. And even post-Volpina still had shades of that with Lila pursuing Marinette and then we got jealous Adrien. At this point, what I’ve landed on is Lila still lies about being friends with Ladybug, Ladybug politely asked her to maybe not do that, Lila gets akumatized, and maybe Adrien reveals he knew she was lying the whole time. Regardless of when Adrien reveals he knew Lila was lying Lila targets him rather than Marinette, by actively attempting to befriend Marinette, not knowing that she knows Lila’s a liar. I don’t think Leah will be like a man antagonist. She’ll probably just be like a Chloé.

3. The Emilie Problem

Trying to decide if Adrien’s mom was dead or not would be easier than it is but it’s not. In fact, I have three possible endings for her. Number one is that she’s just straight up dead and her body is like I cryogenic pod so it doesn’t decompose. Gabriel‘s goal is to bring back his super dead wife.

Number two is that Emilie is in a coma. This has the same markings as Emilie just being dead except less angsty because we could have Emilie come out of her coma when she is taken to an actual hospital instead of a weird cryogenic pod.

Number three is Emilie ran away in the middle of the night. This is the most of the options and the reason why is because Emilie is dead or in a comashe had no choice when she left Adrien with Gabriel, but running away and leaving her son behind means she made a conscious decision that her happiness and survival is more important than her son’s. I have two specials that take place after this series ends that could explore this fact depending further, what happens when Gabriel is caught. Option one is that Emily comes back once Gabriel is caught and we get some eggs Adrian’s feelings about his mother learning that she could have come back at anytime or even though she could’ve taken him with her and she did the follow up of that and can they even reconcile that fact? The other option is that a learning that Gabriel has been arrested she stay away. Emilie is aware of the fact that she abandoned her son and he might not want to see her and maybe it’s just easier not try and change that. That being said, Emilie could have like a letter sent to Adrien explaining things and offer an olive branch and it’s up to him if he chooses to take it.

Not gonna lie this might be my favourite of the three, even if I think it be the least satisfying for the show, specials not included.

4. The Luka Problem

I don’t know if people were expecting this to be the main problem, but it is. Unlike Kagami, I feel that Lucas’s entire existence is contingent on Marinette dating life was written to her midseasons love interest. And yes, Kagami was written to do the same, I feel like she just has a bit more going on. Actually I only realized that I hadn’t figured out what to do with Luka because I realized that I backed myself into a corner when I decided to put Frozer, an episode that is about a date before the introduction of Kagami and Luka. I honestly don’t even know when or where I’m gonna introduce Luka into the show. Because of how quickly I have the show going, I can’t really have episodes where Marinette dates Luka and Adrien dates Kagami and so I feel like Luka’s entire purpose has kind of been removed. I mean I could, but it feels cruel to write those characters dating when I know they’re gonna break up because I have the main endgame couple as Marinette and Adrien.

Episode list time:

(as you can see I swapped Frozer with Chameleon to write myself out of that corner).Also I do use the French names of the episodes. I am both sorry and not sorry. I also hope that the episodes are legible if zoomed in, this post is already so long.

I only have three episodes of season three planned atm: Félix, Argos, and Befana.
