#the amount of references people are pulling is so funny

[postazkabansiriussupremacy]

would be so funny if after sirius and reader fuck for the first time, the next time he sees remus hes debriefing like they used to when they were younger and remus is like “you never change do you” but sirius goes “she’s different!” because she is 🤭 and then glimpses of how sirius and reader act together that make remus realise that his friend is indeed whipped, head over heels, long gone

my first ask 🙇🏻‍♀️‼️ thank u. i’m not super confident in writing dialog but i gave it my best effort lmao

from the moment Remus gets back to grimmauld place… he knows something’s up.

The air feels different, and Sirius is all but skipping around the house.

Remus quickly puts two and two together as it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s been going on. Sirius wears his emotions on his sleeve, and it’s been obvious from the very beginning that he has an interest in you.

After a meeting, Remus pulls Sirius to the side and sighs. “Really, Sirius?”

Sirius can’t help the smug little smile on his face. He knows exactly what Remus is referring to, but he likes to play coy, and the back-and-forth between them is always a bit of fun. “Something on your mind, Remus?”

Remus wants to roll his eyes. He speaks in a quiet but firm tone. “Must I spell it out for you? Do you think what you’re doing is appropriate?”

Sirius responds with a simple glance of his eyes. He locks eyes with Remus, slowly looks over to Tonks, and then meets eyes with Remus again. As if saying ‘You’re not one to talk’ without having to say it

Of course Sirius would know about that. Remus thinks bitterly. It’s sometimes easy to forget that Sirius is smarter and more perceptive than he lets on.

Not bothering to try and save face, Remus defends quietly, “That isn’t the same.”

“How so?” Sirius asks, knowing he’s already won the confrontation without even having to say much.

Remus could create a list of reasons as to why Sirius Black of all people shouldn’t be sleeping with one of the new order members. No matter the reasons why, Sirius was never known for committed relationships or monogamy.

But right now isn’t the time for this discussion. The meeting’s just ended and everyone’s rounding up for dinner. Remus sighs. “You’ll never change, will you?”

Remus thinks the conversation is done, but Sirius replies after a short pause. Remus is mildly surprised by how genuine Sirius sounds when he says “This time is different, old friend.”

Remus knows Sirius. He knows him better than anyone else. And he knows that Sirius won’t take this so-called ‘relationship’ seriously.

In Remus’s mind, he thinks that Sirius is just bored. He knows it’s hard for Sirius to be trapped in his childhood home, and having a pretty girl around is a good distraction.

Throughout dinner, Remus can’t help but steal glances at the two of you. He watches the way Sirius listens to you when you speak, his eyes never straying from yours.

After dinner, Remus watches Sirius as he makes you a cup of tea. Sirius adds a generous amount of milk and a small pinch of sugar as if he’s already memorized your preferences.

Then in the middle of the night, Remus rises out of bed and makes his way to the bathroom. Whilst passing by Sirius’s room, Remus can hear bits and pieces of your late-night conversations. It’s difficult to make out your quiet mumblings, but it’s got something to do with life after the war and possible children.

Remus decides to stop pestering Sirius. Perhaps this could be a good thing in the long run

LOOK AT THIS VASE I MADE IN MY CERAMCS CLASS IT WAS REALLY HARD AND THERE WERE SO MANY RISKS BUT I DID IT AND NOTHING WENT WRONG ITS A MIRACLE (also i know NOW it looks like ferrofluid, but it was actually not the intention from the start LOL) If you're curious as to the inspo + process, it was inspired by this minoan jug on the left! It was made in two parts, and was originally supposed to be sleeker, longer, and smaller spikes but uhh look I'm not very good at ceramics LOL. So the size of the spikes and the more round shape.. already not on purpose, a byproduct of my lack of skill.

There was a lot of waffling on what colors I wanted to do, I had floated Squeakoid colors (white base, colorful spikes), all black, tenmoku (black but breaks brown), as well as half and half.

I decided on black in the end because DARK GOTH VIBES and my teacher felt the shape was so much already that simple black would highlight the silhouette and not be too busy. And that's how in the end it turned into a ferrofluid vase by accident LMFAO

#ceramics #spiked vase #mace vase #my husband said “mace vase” as soon as he saw it #and all i could say was i wish i thought of that first LOL #the mace shape was not intentional as i said so #i had none of these clever thoughts #ferrofluid #someone on twitter said ferrofluid flagon #rofl #people were also saying it's venom as a vase #like eddie i'm a vase now #AND there's people saying it's like harkonnen interior design LMFAO #the amount of references people are pulling is so funny

[caffeineandsociety]

There's a specific genre of shitty antisemitic joke that I have seen fly under the radar (as it was designed to) a LOT more often lately - especially since Kanye started going full mask-off nazi - so I feel the need to issue a warning about it. Namely, the genre is jokes that get spread around by people who aren't willfully antisemitic because outside of conspiracy brain rot land, it appears that the point of the joke is absurdism.

As an example, let's examine the 23-and-me lizard DNA test that I've sadly seen floating around unquestioned.

Because, see, to the average person who isn't willfully antisemitic, this genre of joke comes off as nonsequiturs, or hilarious mistakes - you, as a person with some level of basic observational and critical thinking skills, living on Earth and not in whatever batshit mirror dimension conspiracy theorists think we live in, might very well end up getting a giggle out of it because, HAH, we KNEW those DNA ancestry kits were a scam! If you're not a deliberate antisemite but not really up on the dogwhistles, it doesn't scan as anything awful because you're put in mind of things like feeding a photo of something decidedly not human into that one selfie-to-anime neural net, which sometimes works and produces interesting results because the thing is looking for specific patterns and trying to make anything fit - not things like blatantly lying about doing something like that in the hopes that normies who see the absurdity and want to have a laugh at a scummy company's expense will pass it along to people who unironically believe that Jewish people are actual literal lizard aliens and the test proves it.

This is the same strategy that guy at the game awards pulled. You, a person living in reality where the main source of political corruption is just the basic consequence of an economic system that makes power pool in the hands of anyone willing to exploit enough people, a world of banal mundane evil, know damned well that QAnon-pizzagate-satanic ritual abuse cult conspiracy bullshit is, well, bullshit, if you're even familiar with the details of what they believe at all. When someone crashes the stage and thanks Rabbi Bill Clinton, you may very well laugh because to YOU it is a blatant absurd nonsequitur.

Problem is that to someone else, someone who's deep into that shit, it's either someone letting the truth slip, or someone backing the deep state into a corner - whichever is more convenient to believe.

This is one form of how the far right uses memeification (CW: the example discussed in the link is a rape "joke") - it means something totally different to the in-group than it does to the out-group. To you, it's funny because it's nonsensical; to them, it's fun because they think they're onto something huge and they're about to blow this shit wide open and it's going to be their great moment of triumph.

I cannot stress enough that no matter how absurd an antisemitic conspiracy theory sounds to you, there are people who believe it, unironically. There are people who unironically believe that Jewish people are very literally not human and no amount of evidence to the contrary will ever change their minds. There are people who believe that we're born with horns and tails and pointed ears and have them surgically altered to fit in with good Christian humans like some kind of extremely high-stakes game of Among Us. There are people who believe that we steal, ritualistically abuse, and kill Christian babies. These beliefs, while fringe enough that, yeah, most of you who this post is aimed at have never heard them in the wild before very recently, are not nearly as fringe as you probably think they are. Just look at fucking Kanye. This asshole has more fans than there are Jewish people in the world.

So I'm begging you to please, bare minimum, be careful of "absurdist" jokes about Jewish people, especially if they reference lizards, money, banking, or government power. Also, you may see Jewish people debating how religious laws may apply to fictional creatures, but outside of that context you should also be wary of any time Jewish people are mentioned in the same sentence as vampires, dragons, goblins, zombies, fantasy demons, or any number of other fantasy creatures known for greed, feeding on humans, or both.

If the reason it seems funny to you is because you'd have to be really stupid to believe it's true or makes any kind of sense - it's probably looking for you to spread it to people who are, in fact, that stupid.

Late Night Luffy's Dream Theory

So I've heard a fair amount of speculation about what Luffy's dream is after he becomes Pirate King, and by extension, what Roger's dream was (recall Yamato's flashback confirming that Luffy's dream–which Ace shared with him in their long tipsy conversation/totally not a night of passion–is "the same thing the Pirate King" said.) Fan speculation about Luffy's real dream ranges from things like "host the biggest party in the world", to "go to the moon", "make a country of pirates" etc but I've always found something fundamentally unsatisfactory about these, and I'll throw my hat in the ring to narrow down the possibilities.

To recap, the information we have about Luffy's dream is as follows: -Both times the dream is alluded to, it's at the end of what I and probably a bunch of other people personally conceive of as major sagas pre and post TS that both culminate in a major battle featuring EVERYONE WE'VE SEEN AND MORE –It's something that Roger, battle-hardened and well into his 40s or 50s–shared with Oden, that was documented in Oden's journal and partially inspired Yamato's unshakeable faith in Luffy –The Straw Hats, Ace, and Sabo are all shocked to hear it and ask if he's fully serious, but several of them support it immediately and the others remain protective over it and swear they'll see Luffy's ambition through. Jinbe, Nami, and Usopp are in disbelief, Chopper and Franky are excited, Robin is stunned, but looks hopeful or contemplative rather than derisive or amused, etc. –Ace and Sabo laugh as children, but swear to themselves that they'll protect Luffy's dream and won't let anyone mock it. As he's dying, Ace tells Luffy that he truly, truly believes Luffy will pull it off, and he's only sorry he couldn't see him make that dream a reality. –Shanks found it really funny, but is repeatedly shown stating he thinks that this ridiculous fucking child he met is going to be the future of the next pirate era, implying that he has some degree of faith in this child he (likely) recognizes as the inheritor of Roger's will Luffy's dream is repeatedly referred to as "crazy", or in some cases, "a child's fantasy", but also implied to be something really pure, ambitious, and highly unlikely but theoretically possible.

When I come up with fan theories, I tend to approach them less from a "textual evidence" standpoint than a "what would pack the biggest emotional punch and tie into the message/arc/etc that we've been shown thus far" one, and that tends to inform which popular ones I buy into (e.g. I am about 50-60% convinced that Law death will be a thing because, Chekhov's gun aside, Law's been in fucking crisis and unsure of what he'll do as his own man free of Cora's legacy and tries to emulate him in Wano. And while I think there's still a good chance he'll survive to the end for other reasons, there's also potential for a LOT of bittersweet beauty in him repeating what happened to him in childhood by quite literally passing on his heart and life to someone else). Considering what would be emotionally resonant and feel anywhere near as earned as what it's been built up to over two whole fucking sagas, Luffy's dream has to be something absurdly ambitious and thematically resonant. I do not think, if Luffy's dream were something like "I want to go to the moon", that Yamato would hold faith in him through impossibly oppressive circumstances, or that the audience would care like, at all. So if the dream is tied to something at the core of Luffy's character and the underlying themes of the entire series, what does Luffy represent, and what's the point of One Piece? Luffy is, at this point in the story and honestly long before, the embodiment of this sort of radical, almost anarchic humanism pervading the entire series that seeks to bring genuine freedom, joy, and peace to people everywhere he goes. Even before any divine or joy boy associations, he's a bringer of dawn, a warrior of liberation, and a worker of miracles because he sees injustice happening around him and instantly rejects it. He tears down oppressors everywhere he goes, and he's eventually going to bring that reckoning to the World Government and Blackbeard and every other might-makes-right, brutal, thoughtless hierarchical oppressor stopping their helpless victims from living free, full, happy lives. And critically, he's the inheritor of a crazy, radical dream that'll shake the world because god knows One Piece loves to talk about inherited will/dreams/legacy.

One Piece's broadly radical leftist humanism isn't based in naïveté either; it's very clear that this liberation is preceded by endless failures. Joyboy fails to stop any of what happens and writes letters of apology, Roger dies before he can realize the dream, and all the while countless atrocities are going on with at least 3 Islands we know of and two whole races having their genocides all but done to completion. Kuma suffers immensely waiting for the Dawn, and effectively loses his life and humanity before it can come, still holding on to his belief in Nika. But none of these things will stop the coming of liberation. Every genocide and attempt to purge the politically inconvenient–Ohara, Flevance, the Lunarians, the persecution of the Buccaneers–leaves survivors or inheritors, with Law, Kuma, and Robin in particular playing central roles in saving or aiding Luffy, the bringer of Dawn. The purge of Ohara fails to destroy the records permanently. The fucking biblical infanticides at Baterilla and the end of Roger's bloodline doesn't stop Luffy from inheriting Roger's will and his brother's legacy. Luffy isn't so much a predestined messiah as he is the inheritor of a legacy of resistance and hope that cannot be killed because as long as someone lives, they will dream of the brand of hope and justice that he embodies. No matter how hard you try, or how violently you suppress people, how many legacies or bloodlines or rebels you put to death, people will survive and carry on those legacies or pick up where your victims left off because you can't kill ideas, you can't kill truth, you can't kill dreams, and you can't kill the basic human desire for joy and freedom. I think the "Child's Fantasy" thing we see associated with Luffy's dream is key to this whole mystery. Wano's the arc in which we get the closest, most explicit declarations of Luffy's ideals, in which his core motivation for defeating Kaido–besides helping Momo and his friends seek justice and overthrow an oppressor–is to make sure everyone in the country can eat their fill. It's the kind of thing you wish for as a child–an end to world hunger, world peace, homes for the homeless, an end to prejudice–before a thousand and one adults feed you the lie that it's impossible to redistribute resources, that being crushed by hierarchical oppressive power is natural, or that some people are undeserving of life or basic rights and therefore deserve to be harmed by the powers that be. Before your parents and teachers and other people lecture you on the necessity of Authority and Capitalism and Hegemony or what have you and convince you that a certain number of people simply have to suffer and die to preserve the Proper and Legitimate Hierarchy, that the powerful deserve to be where they are and that victims of these systems deserve it. It'll be something very much like his hopes for Wano in the face of the oppression of Kaidou and Orochi, or the World Government creeping up on them afterward with Ryokugyu loudly announcing that the oppression of the have-nots is the rightful and good state of the world. It'll be a simple, basic hope for good things for him and his friends and all the great people they love, something perfectly possible and right and just and joyful that people have been raised to think of as an impossibility. A place where people can eat their fill, where there's water in parched lands, where people aren't being strangled by heavenly tributes. A world where they can be free. A reality where everyone can be happy, where dreams come true.

FSR rambles 18 dreams about being gannon

Direct parallels to Gannon/OOT.

Sweet time to mention Shadow can play the piano haha. I have a plan for a comic on HOW he learned but that's a later date type thing.

HERO OF TIME HIIIIIII. 💖 Also Naavi.

He's here to murder shadow. Noice.

Seems like Shadow's just getting haunted by this guy considering his appearance earlier in the comic in page 290 -

Seems like Hero of Time just isn't a fan of him or smth. XDDD

Ouch. That looked like it hurt.

Also hi who are you.

Also considering I know who you are...Why are your eyes Blue buddy? :D

"Aw shit. I got sliced"

"Also I'm younger"

Ah dream logic.

Hi Perry-

I mean uhhh

Totally mysterious purple clad hero.

This is a character from the planned sequel of FSR. and I can't speak much about him. You'd know a decent amount about him if you've seen the FSRA posts.

Also his eyes changed...Again...

When I dream I have nothing but nightmares too shadow. Smh.

Oh Hi Link. Why are you wearing white and black. Basically the reverse of Dark Link's fit? Not weird at aaaaall considering that wasn't what he was wearing before he pulled the sword...

It's been around for awhile NOW but Shadow's hair changing to have a red streak...much like a certain gerudo man we know isn't odd at ALLLLLL.

Also nice Malice eyes Shadow.

Yeah I'm sure the magic demonic 8 ball will have the answers you seek Shadow.

Considering the Gannon flashbacks we just saw...Who's "him" Dark? Because Dark could just as easily be talking about Vaati here. But really it's up in the air on who he meant exactly.

Dark keeping his horns from his vaati convo and it appearing on his human ish form was a fun detail to add.

Random note to think about: Dark had to put himself back in Shadow's hat after sneaking off to vaati's house and that imagery is funny so I'm sharing it with you.

Dark's hair is still vaati colored as well and his behavior is reflecting him still.

Link talking about food and sleeping is just about the most link thing ever so Dark gives absolutely no shits about it.

Haha you should have chosen your words more wisely shadow...

It ALMOST sounds like you don't WANT Link here...which Dark can pick up on pal-

Oh shit. You repeated it you meant it.

Yeah don't shout Link could wake up.

Dark kinda SORTA seems to know what's happening...

But he's using "I think" and uncertain language. (You know he's not sure of smth if he's using phrasing like that hah. Since he's usually so self assured in his assumptions.)

Lol ignore how often my dumbass forgot to keep Shadow's hair right. Mistakes happen. 😅

Hey Shadow, abusing the nutcase isn't gonna get you very far.

Especially because he hates your guts.

Dark's kinda right here tho. Shadow's being selfish as hell rn.

The phrase "Does the word "HERO" just have no meaning to you? You disgust me" specifically gets a chuckle out of me considering who's mouth it's coming out of.

Dark continues to miss identify Shadow as Gannon when he said "you're as old as time" (More of a reference to demise depending on how you look at it but same diff)

Dark sweating visibly showing he's still very much scared of Shadow.

Shadow pulled his head out of his ass for a second and realized Dark's acting weird. (Like Vaati)

Dark's instant snap back is amusing but also sad. Like. Shadow doesn't "know him" not in any meaningful way. But he does yield and admit he was looking at memories for... YEARS in the head space.

Which is just a level of horror beyond comprehension.

Imagine spending YEARS looking at other people's memories just to get yanked out of it randomly by mr root of all evil himself bitching at you about smth you don't even know about, some guy you had a single conversation with YEARS AGO. But oh yeah. It's only been maybe 8 hours in the real world and all perception of time and reality was thrown off and you're being accused of being a different person after all that shit.

To say Dark Link isn't having a fun or good time would be an understatement.

I touched on it in a fic where Link and Dark bang of all places but Dark's existence is an existential nightmare.

Dark Link's EXISTANCE isn't fun for him. He's gonna mention it later too but he's MISSERABLE and vocal about his misery and pain just being alive.

Something weird to think about: Who's memories was he even looking at?

Really from his vague description it could be ANYONE.

I personally like to think it's vaati's considering he still has his hair shifted to be vaati's tone, is acting like vaati and mentions shadow being "Annoying"

though Link and vio are high possibilities too haha.

A mix of all of them aren't off base either.

Identity crisis how fun...Dark struggling to separate himself from the memories he's witnessed is concerning to say the least.

At least he's willing to be helpful with what he thinks is going on.

Really he could have just said "Fuck off figure it out yourself" but he offers to try and explain shit to Shadow from his perspective.

Dark's openness to cooperate despite everything is smth noteworthy.

He has literally no reason to do shit like this (Even if it fails) ESPECIALLY considering his distaste for Shadow. He just does shit that's helpful or nice cause he can.

Just little characterizations that Dark Link is more like Link than you'd first think considering his introduction.

Also OOT reference again with Ganon entering the sacred realm to steal the Triforce of power.

The second Shadow mentions them splitting is a relief, Dark cosplays Vio. XDDDD

Even Shadow thinks that was Vio like haha.

Dark's avoiding Link is the funniest part of this. "Oh shit he's waking up, gotta run. Don't wanna talk to him." XDDD

Don't do it Shadow.

It's a terrible idea.

Last time Link was here he was wanting to off himself so he might not be the most mentally sound individual!

Also who's happy to be woken up...

Dark Link being the voice of reason here about the pros and cons to waking Link up or even listening to him haha.

Considering what happens HAPPENS, that probs would have happened REGUARDLESS of if he was woken up or not. The change really is down to whether or not Shadow would A. Even be around for it. B. Be the one to wake Link up and have that burden on his mind or C. Just let shit happen.

Shadow is putting a ton of pressure on Dark to give answers or be helpful AND CORRECT but like...dude Dark doesn't know, he's guessing too lmfao.

Shadow makes what I consider a very foolish choice which was waking Link up.

Dark held back the explosion aspect but he is here to have fun first so uhhhh...Well he DID say it'd be funny to him and not Shadow.

Shadow defaults to blaming Dark Link "Damn demon" which...Shadow learn some accountability.

Panel by panel breakdown cause stuffs getting jucy:

1- Interesting outfit choice Link. It's the one he wore when he was a bit younger. So he's got a younger mindset when waking up. Which is just sad.

2- his outfit changes to half blue half green with a purple sleeve, his hands are all sorts of wrong and mish mashed with red and purple nails. His eyes also have the wrong color. His body is distorting all over the place...Interesting.

3- Shadow you shouldn't have said anything. The coward's hiding too lmfao he knows he fucked up.

4- Safe to say he's not very happy.

Link's distorting and glitching is based on video game glitches. Which is fun because: LOZ is a video game.

There's something distinctly haunting and uncanny about buggy/glitchy game assets and I wanted to capture it here.

Like the reality of four people being forced into one body is quite horrifying and the idea of them just bugging out unable to process how many thoughts there are is overwhelming. Literally like overloading a computer or gaming system.

There's also something to be said about how he fully breaks after seeing Shadow Link.

This is brought up later so I'll expand upon it later but the fact literally the only words Shadow Link spoke to LINK was "I'm the hero Link" or smth like that is hysterical.

For living together for 7 years: They truly don't know each other well on a personal level considering their ability to communicate was stunted by Shadow being...Well a Shadow. And I wanna explore that more as the series goes on.

1- Lol Green hi thanks for trying to stay calm.

2- Vio's here too. Something tells me calming down isn't working considering your face is cracking more and the tunic is flashing different colors.

3- Shadow I swear to god, shut your mouth-

4- Yeaaaaaah we saw that coming. Ouch looks painful. Good thing that body is magic hahaha.

Link's just not having a good time at all. XD

I think a few people caught this but Link breaking down here was based on the forced gem fusions in SU also the distorted static version of the cartoons from learning with pibby XD

It was good inspo for how horrific this scenario is.

Really all of them are just kinda, shoved in there. Unable to truly escape and they're NOT HAPPY about it.

Blue specifically is trying to get out as we'll know later and we get more context on his thoughts about this ordeal from the Darkblue chapter... But visually you can see Link's got two faces and it remains consistent that that's Blue.

Which, is terrifying.

There's also the underlying horror that the "Why" Link is back in one body isn't truly addressed but we'll get more into that later.

Shadow running for his damn life haha.

I'd be scared too if that mess was crawling at me.

The sad thing is that Link's reaching out for help and Shadow responds by screaming in terror lmfao.

Cause Link seems monstruous at the moment but the reality of the situation is he's very clearly conscious and scared. He's reaching out to the only person he can, which is Shadow.

I think this might be my favorite design of Link in this state. It's just horrific to look at. The eyes bleeding onto both his faces which are cracked like mirrors so you can't tell what he's looking at. He has Vio and Blue's legs sticking out of his back, and entire extra head forcing its way off his main one, it's hard to tell from these but his skin is glitching in both Red and Blue's separate skin tones (Blue's being a bit darker and Red's being lighter)

His tunic is pitch black which, black absorbs all wavelengths of light and reflects none...Literally keeping it trapped haha.

Yeah. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING.

Anyway, Link/Green, Vio and red are all reaching out to shadow but blue is suspiciously absent haha.

Them grabbing onto Shadow is smth Vio would do...

The four sword's lil gem thingy is glitched to shit too. Each colored piece being a different size. Green's is noticeably larger while Blue and Red's are about the same size. Vio's is the smallest.

Shadow's hat is doing that thing Dark does when he's upset where it clings to his body.

Yeah feeling like you can't do anything would be a feeling you fall into frequently being trapped as a shadow.

Take that agency back Shadow it's been robbed from you for too long.

Blue: GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!!!!

Jokes aside I love this moment. Link getting more stable as he keeps Shadow close to him is sweet.

Link just needed a hug. UwU

Or...Less cute option: Maybe...The triforce of power had something to do with it...

Link/Red crying immediately when Shadow says a single word lmfao.

Link's so pretty I love him. I'm glad he's back a bit.

"Shadow, stop talking." could apply to everything he says to link as of rn. XD

Link's still very much emotionally distressed and I'd be too after THAT SHIT SHOW.

I do think it's funny how Link is wearing black here and Shadow is wearing white. (It's just his usual underclothes without his tunic)

Yes shut up and please just hug him it's clearly what he needs rn Shadow. X'D

Perfect cut off point lmfao.

[aurorawest]

I finished The Mars House last night and have been trying to gather my thoughts beyond ADJFAWEHDHA; and AHHHHHHHH. Let's see how this works out.

In a lot of ways this is a pretty typical Natasha Pulley book, which makes you love complicated people who have done bad things, possibly for good reasons and possibly not. The love interest is to all appearances a xenophobic nationalist, but you better believe I loved Gale pretty much immediately.

In other ways this book is different from her past work—obviously there's the far future setting, but it's pretty clear that Pulley wanted to Say Something about gender with The Mars House. This book is a response to and shots fired at the terf ideology and it is not at all subtle about it. And of course, it's a Natasha Pulley book, so there's still empathy for the far-future Martian terfs.

So I would definitely call it the most...political? of her books, which for me was not at all a bad thing. It has everything that I love about Pulley novels—her gorgeous use of language, her ability to wring beauty and pathos out of the small and ordinary, the gay pining, the morally dubious main characters. I've seen reviews say both that the science is ridiculous and that the book is hard science fiction, and I would come down on the side of the science probably being a bit ridiculous, since it's definitely not hard science fiction (lol at the reviewers who are throwing that term around and not knowing what it means). I actually have no idea if the science is plausible or not and I honestly don't care, because that's really not the point of the book.

Anyway, now I'm just going to list things. Doing a read more for spoilers! And I'm not joking, I'm going to spoil the whole book under here so really, if you haven't read it and you care about that, don't keep reading.

The worldbuilding was so good. I mean, this is one of Pulley's strengths, but I had wondered how it would stack up in a sci fi novel versus her historical fiction. As usual, everything was so visceral and textured. Tharsis and Songshu feel like real places I could visit.

THE MAMMOTHS OMG OMG. When they decided to ask the mammoths for help pulling up the gravity train, I almost jumped up from the couch yelling (I would have, but I couldn't disturb my cat who was on my legs). The entire idea of communicating with mammoths and studying mammoth society almost made me cry. Having spent even a tiny amount of time around elephants in the wild, all of that rang 100% plausible. And true in my heart.

I need a sequel where River and January go to Alpha Centauri to talk to the aliens that the Penglai mission is going to find there.

I'M ABOUT TO SPOIL THE ENTIRE BOOK SO DON'T READ ANYMORE IF YOU DON'T WANT THAT.

Speaking of River, yeah I guessed that "Aubrey" was actually River. The clues were well done and I felt smug when I was right.

But!! I actually thought River knew more than they did! A literal chill went up my back when River revealed they had NO IDEA AUBREY WAS LITERALLY IN THEIR ROOM WITH THEM.

The scene in River's bathtub had me screaming crying throwing up.

Is Natasha Pulley working through something re: waifish orphans? I knew Yuan was going to end up being adopted into House Song within pages of their (his?) introduction.

I love that we never find out if River is biologically male or female. I love that January says it doesn't matter and he means that and never tells us.

Speaking of gender abolition, can I have that please for myself.

All of the animals were, as always, a delight. Shoutout to the puffin at the beginning who we never see again, as well as Shuppiluliuma in her basket.

The ancient Mediterranean references littered through this book (see above) were also a delight.

When you think about it, both of Aubrey's consorts fell for River, and that's funny.

The flashes of love between River and Aubrey were devastating.

The haptic implants are a dystopian nightmare and absolutely a realistic prediction of where we're going to end up.

Mori and Daughter!!

The ocean

(Emma Myers x fem! reader)

Summary: Emma and you are in a secret relationship, but eventually you get caught making out during a break. Request here :)) Warnings: none (English isn't my first language, I'm sorry if there are mistakes or if something doesn't make sense TvT)

You first met Emma on the set of Wednesday after being cast to play Raven Addams, Wednesday's sister. Funny thing: the one who played Wednesday was none other than your own sister, Jenna Ortega.

When you talked to her for the first time, you already knew Emma and you would get along well. You had the same taste in almost everything; movies, series, videogames... She even knew one of your favorite animes that literally no one seemed to know.

You grew closer quickly as the weeks passed; you spent most of your on-set time together, laughing, taking selfies, etc. You loved her company much more than the others', you felt free to be yourself around her. You felt safe, wanted. Or maybe it was just your imagination.

On the last week of shooting, you confessed to her. Not directly, but you understood each other.

You were at a party with the rest of the cast, celebrating one of your last moments together.

"Okay Y/n, your turn." Joy started "Your question is... 'what could you look at forever?'"

"The ocean" you replied without hesitation

Your answer may have seemed basic to everyone else, but not to Emma. She remembered well what you said about her eyes maybe a week ago. 'They remind me of the ocean'.

Did it mean you liked her? Because she like you. And she too could look at your eyes forever.

The look you gave her after your answer couldn't mean anything else, right?

After the party, Emma suggested to accompany you to your trailer.

"Regarding what you said earlier..."

"I meant it. How could I not love looking at something that captivating?"

She still wasn't so sure whether you were referring to her eyes or the ocean. She truly hoped it was her eyes you were talking about.

"And you?" you asked suddenly

"Hm?"

You turned to face her.

"What is something you could look at forever?"

She stayed silent, thinking.

"You" she finally said

This time, it was your turn to blush. You didn't expect her to go straight to the point like that.

"R-really?"

"How could I not love looking at someone that captivating?" she said with a smile, taking a step closer to you

You spent the next minutes gazing into each other's eyes, not saying a word. There was no need, you understood each other perfectly.

"Do you want to stay here tonight...?" you asked her when you saw her shiver at the cold air

She had nodded and you'd spend the night together, cuddling in bed. In the morning, you took the time to decide if you should tell the others or not and choose not to talk about it.

You were both not ready to come out and feared what they would think, especially Jenna.

After the shooting was over, you stayed in touch, calling each other everyday when you couldn't meet in person. And when you could, you would organise little dates at home, not wanting any paparazzi to take a picture of you - outing you in the process.

Usually, you stayed at her appartement and watched Netflix and ordered diner, before cuddling for the rest of the night.

You liked how sweet your relationship was; there was no rush, no pression, no one to content in any way except yourselves.

You were more than happy when Wednesday season 2 was announced, because it meant you would have time to spend with Emma. What you hadn't think about was the amount of work you would have.

It had been days since you had a moment alone, and you missed her. Seeing her only from afar during the shooting wasn't enough, you needed to hug her, to kiss her, to feel her.

And you could tell she missed you too, by the way her lips were moving almost desperately against yours.

She managed to catch you alone during a break and pulled you into the first empty room she found, lips immediately crashing on yours. Only a few people knew this side of her; needy, possessive, controlling. Because yes, as surprising as it might be, she liked being in control.

She pinned you to the wall, hands slipping under your shirt, fingers caressing your skin, as she nibbled at your lower lip. She was asking for permission to slip her tongue past your lips, which you gave her quickly.

The kiss was messy, sloppy, and passionate. You enjoyed it, both of you. You didn't think you had ever kissed her like that before. Kinda wished you did more often.

As her kisses went down to your neck, a whimper escaped your parted lips. You tilted your head back, exposing more skin for her to leave wet kisses wherever she pleased.

She would love to leave pretty purple marks here too, but that would ruin the whole 'secret relationship' thing.

"Emma..." you let out in a sigh, hand going up to her hair as she licked a long strip on your throat

Her hands rested on your waist, under your shirt, as she kissed you again. You could feel her smile against your lips when she heard you whisper her name between kisses.

Too caught up in your make-out session, you didn't hear the door open, nor did you notice the rest of the cast entering the room until one of them let out a gasp.

Immediately, you parted away, cheeks read in embarrassment, heart beating faster than ever. Stress started to rise, not knowing how they would react, especially Jenna.

Whatever reaction you had imagined was far away from what actually happened.

Joy reached in her back pocket and handed $5 to Hunter with a sigh, soon followed by Georgie. They both looked shocked by what they saw, but that was nothing compared to Jenna.

"Are you...?" she asked

You nodded slightly in response, nervous. Emma took your hand and rubbed little circles on it with her thumb, trying to relax you.

"How long has it been?"

Her warm smile made all your fears go away. She was truly happy for both of you. Her best friend dating her sister was unexpected, but not unwelcomed.

"Since we finished shooting season 1" Emma answered with a smile, as relieved as you were

"Oh, come on!" Georgie mumbled as Hunter chuckled, before handing him an extra $5, which he then passed to Joy

You raised an eyebrow at the sight.

"Were you guys betting on us?"

"They didn't believe me when I said you were together" Hunter explained

"How were we supposed to know? How did you even know?" Joy asked him

"The gaydar never lies" the boy laughed

He wasn't wrong. You were pretty sure he knew for you two, despite all your efforts.

"Wait- so that means you're going to be my sister-in-law?" Jenna asked Emma

"Hopefully" she replied with a smirk

autistic4autistic jmart except one of them kind of had no idea until now

this is a little comic i made of my bestie @jewishjon's fic "stay with me, my darling" for her birthday because i thought this scene was funny and i like making comics so :) fun experiment! yea

[image description: three black and white comic pages of jon and martin. jon is a thin brown pakistani person and martin is a fat light-skinned mixed filipino man. they both have backpacks on their shoulders.

the first page has two close up panels of jon and martin's respective faces. jon is grinning with amusement as he says, "Did you not find it strange that we both like to sleep with large amounts of weight on top of us? Or that we regularly help each other understand social cues?", to which martin says worriedly, "I-I thought we were just similar! That's supposed to be a sign of a good relationship!"

below, a full-page panel shows jon laughing as he walks down a path in the apocalypse, with martin looking angrily after him. the panopticon can be seen in the distance. jon says, "Ah, yes. Of course. Similarities, such as having autism," to which martin exclaims, "Don't laugh at me!"

the two are pictured laughing in a panel on the second page. in a smaller panel, martin looks worried as he says, "What should i do?" below that is a full page panel of jon looking up at martin amidst some fog. martin continues, "After we stop the apocalypse, I mean. Do I have to get... diagnosed? Is there a procedure for when your all-knowing boyfriend has already confirmed that you're autistic?"

in three panels below that, jon says, "To be fair, I haven't exactly used my powers to confirm it." he looks a bit sheepish. "Just my very much non-supernatural..." (he takes a moment to clear his throat here) "Autismdar." there are sparkles around him as he says this.

in the third page, martin snorts, laughing. "Autismdar?" he looks amused as jon says, "Well, people often refer to gaydars so I thought... Hey, it might catch on!"

martin pulls a pouty jon to his chest and says, "I don't think it's gonna catch on, love."

in a full-page frame overlooking the panopticon with multiple eyes closing in on it, jon says, "Just you wait. In a few years, every autistic person will have followed my example and started regularly referring to their… Their autismdar." martin says, "Points for effort?" to which jon replies, "Hmm."]

I HAVE RETURNED FROM THE FNAF MOVIE AND I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS

✨ Non-spoiler section ✨

I had such a fun time with this movie! There were a ton of Easter eggs I caught and I’m sure there’s a few that I missed! My best advice for anyone wanting to see this movie is don’t take it super seriously, you’ll enjoy it more! The makers of this film weren’t lying when they said that they made this movie for the fans, I do feel like fans will enjoy this movie way more than a general audience and that’s perfectly fine! It’s campy at some parts and funnier than I thought it would be, but that’s what made it so fun! Now for the nitty-gritty…

❌ SPOILERS BELOW ❌

What I liked…

• First off, Matthew Patrick is a fucking LIAR! He does have a cameo in the movie, he says his iconic “That’s just a theory” line which was great! He’s a waiter at a diner, which leads me to my next point

• The diner was named “Sparky’s”, which I feel like only OG fans will get the reference. But for those of you who don’t know, back when FNAF 1 came out, there was a rumor of a secret/rare animatronic in the game called Sparky the Dog. There was a fake image floating around showing him standing in the door to parts and service. This was later confirmed to be fake. BUT! In the movie they also have a dog-looking animatronic in the parts and service room which absolutely took me out lol

• Acting was great! Everyone was fun to watch, Josh Hutcherson was a great lead as Mike and Piper Rubio was so sweet as Abby but I gotta give my props to Matthew Lillard towards the end of the movie, he looked like he was having so much fun being this unhinged monster! Speaking of…

• There is a spring lock scene!! It is real!! And God was it cathartic to watch! Obviously being PG-13, they couldn’t do blood and guts galore, but I think they managed to pull it off pretty well! Afton’s scene was definitely my favorite in the film hands down! And yes, he gets his “I always come back” line which put 5 years back on my life if I’m being honest lmao

• There is blood in this movie! Not a gratuitous amount, but it was enough for what they were going for I think! The kills of the people breaking to Freddy’s were more entertaining to watch than I thought! Especially Freddy’s kill…that caught me completely off guard lmao

• There aren’t too many jumpscares but that was fine with me! They do this repeat jumpscare with a little figurine of Balloon Boy like 3 times and I thought it was funny every time! They do a really good job with tension in this movie!

• The animatronics!!!! LOVED THEM!!!! They were so detailed and well designed, they were so fun to watch!! The Jim Henson company did an absolutely stellar job with the designs, I want to hug them 🥺

• So the story…I thought it was fine! They do stray from canon by making Vanessa Afton’s daughter in the movie instead of Mike being his son. They do confirm Afton was the one who kidnapped and killed Mike’s brother Garrett. The story is kind of left open ended as if they could continue the story (which I hope they do), but I think it leaves a more or less satisfying ending!

• There’s a minor mid-credit scene with Cory Kenshin and a secret message at the very end of the credits. I couldn’t hear it well but it’s spelled-out letters exactly like the ones from the death minigames in FNAF 2

• Yes, The Living Tombstone’s FNAF song is in the end credits, I felt my soul leave my body 😭

Minor Negatives…

• The story is slow at the beginning, it takes a little bit for anything super interesting to take place

• There are some plot points that don’t get explained or resolved (which is par for the course for FNAF) but that leads me to believe that they want to make sequels which I am all here for

• The Aunt Jane character wasn’t super important, she was fine, but she was there just to serve as an antagonist to Mike for a whole 5 minutes of the movie, if that

• I wanted so much more Afton/Spring Bonnie time, it was too short for me but I am happy with what I got. Also, he didn’t wear any purple in the movie which I think is a crime 😂

• Kind of wish there was an R rated version of this movie even though FNAF isn’t known for being bloody and gory, but some parts felt a little tame

• Also please correct me if I’m wrong but, they didn’t use the Toreador March music at all?? If I missed it, please tell me but I was waiting to hear it and it never came from what I remember

Speculation…

• So the biggest plot issue for me was that they never explained Afton’s intentions for killing. I think fans of the games know why he’s killing, but the general audience won’t. I’m sure it has something to do with the saw blade machine that tries to stuff your head into Freddy’s head. But it wasn’t clear. Vanessa never gave us a straight answer either even though she was in on it from the beginning.

• Towards the beginning of the movie, Abby is shown to be talking to her “invisible friend”, this is before Mike is hired as Freddy’s security guard. Turns out that friend is the ghost kid who possess Golden Freddy/Fredbear (again, isn’t clear lol). I wanna know why that kid showed up before Mike and Abby even went to the location??

• I may be reading too much into this, but when Mike goes in to get a new job after being fired from his mall security guard job, he’s talking to “Steve” and Steve does something interesting. He’s berating him for his inability to hold down a job, the he looks at his name on the file and just goes “…Mike S…” and just, doesn’t finish saying his name. He looks at Mike really weird like he’s trying to find something, and then just completely changes the subject. IDK, I’ll probably have to watch it again, and I think it would be a stretch to go the “Mike Afton” route especially since they established Vanessa was his kid. But ya never know with FNAF 😂

• Also the secret message that was spelled out at the end of the credits. If any of y’all know what they spelled, please tell me because I could not figure it out! I would love to know what it said!

Conclusion…

I just had a blast with this movie! I wasn’t sure what to expect with this movie but I think Blumhouse and everyone who worked on this movie did an amazing job, you can tell they put so much heart and soul into this! I will patiently be awaiting the announcement of the next movie until then!

Rating - 8.5/10

[absolute-flaming-trash]

If this doesn’t make sense it’s because I’m dead inside

Pairing: Yandere!Mahito x Reader

SFW, Angst

Word Count: 1′420

Warnings: Yandere, Captivity, Forced relationship, Angst, Hint of Stockholm Syndrome if you squint really hard. Making Mahito contemplate emotions is one of my favourite fic flavors.

If you spot the reference to another fic, you gain +1 intuition

There was no sound outside except for the patter of rain against the roof of your home.

The day was very monochromatic. The gray from the clouds was only accentuated by the thick mass of fog that had rolled in a few hours ago. Every so often the white noise of the rain was interrupted with the slow, gradual hum of a car passing by, or the sharp, sudden howl of wind as it warped around the corner of your house.

Perfect weather to stay inside.

You were huddled on your bed with a stack of pillows behind you to keep you upright. You weren’t in pajamas, but you weren’t exactly in clothes you’d go out in either. Sweatpants, a t-shirt, and an old hoodie felt like the most appropriate get-up for the halfway point between lazy and productive, even though at the moment you were leaning more towards the lazy side of things.

“Are humans purposefully this cryptic?” Mahito’s voice broke the silence, and you looked up from the book propped against your legs to his position at the foot of your bed. He was laid on his stomach with the pages of one of your old magazines spread in one hand.

You squinted a little, unable to make out exactly what he was referring to.

“How do you mean?”

He pointed towards a long column of text on the left page and tapped the paper with the tip of his finger three times. “This.”

The section he was referencing  was splashed with an obscene amount of red and pink hearts alongside just the same amount of faux lipstick kiss marks. The only text you were able to read was at the top of the page in looped letters imitating cursive font.

Valen-time for Valentines!

You made a face. You’d been meaning to toss that one in the recycling bin…

“It’s referring to one of the holidays humans celebrate. Not all do, but the vast majority participate.”

Mahito blinked and brought the glossy page closer to his face. You thought if he held it any closer, he’d be learning through osmosis.

“What for?”

You hesitated, unsure of how you wanted to word your answer. Mahito was extremely inquisitive for what he was - and you knew what he was. It was part of why you never actively restricted any sources of knowledge he wished to obtain from you. You believed doing so would undoubtedly result in a demise that would be less than pleasant.

In the one time you had expressed this… concern to him, he assured you he had no interest in killing you. Yet.

It was that last little caveat that kept you from doing anything you’d consider needlessly silly.

You moistened your lips before you proceeded. “It’s meant for expressing affection and appreciation towards the people you love.”

He made a loud noise in the back of his throat and he dropped the magazine unceremoniously. “Love?”

“Yes.”

Out of all the things Mahito found the most complex about humans, it was emotions. Which, to his credit, was not that far off. They were one of the only things capable of sending him into extremely deep thought, and it was in those moments you felt you could look at him without the trepidation of him catching you.

You set your book aside as you observed him. His hair hung free of his signature three ties, the strands pooling around his elbows as he pressed his hands to his lips in a way that looked like that of prayer. The thought of the gesture meaning anything remotely religious would be funny if it weren’t so ironic.

Eventually he pulled himself up to sit cross-legged in one fluid motion that bordered on uncanny.

His hair fell to the side as he cocked his head. “What is love?”

“An excellent song from the early 90’s, if not overplayed.”

His quizzical look made you snort.

“Sorry, you made that one too easy.”

A low groan from the wind allowed you to pause without it feeling too unnatural.

“I don’t know.” You answered after a while.

Mahito’s eyebrows scrunched together - curiosity and disappointment melding together at your answer. “You don’t know.”

“Well I… I just-” You frowned, unsure of how to put it. “I don’t know if I’ve ever experienced it.”

He continued to stare at you in a way that compelled you to continue.

“I mean I do care about certain people in my life, and I have love for family members, but when it comes to people I’ve had relationships with I don’t know if I ever… felt love in any of them.”

He arched an eyebrow. “Aren’t humans supposed to ‘love’ the person they’re with?”

A small huff of air left through your nose. “Theoretically.”

He groaned loudly and fell dramatically against the bed, closing his eyes with a sigh. “You’re all so counterintuitive.”

That brought out a genuine laugh from you. “That’s the understatement of the century.”

You bit your lip once the moment passed, still not quite satisfied with the answer you gave him. 

“I don’t know what to tell you other than love is incredibly complicated.” Mahito opened an eye to look at you as you spoke. “It comes in a lot of forms. Friends. Family. Lovers. All of them require a certain level of… devotion, and even protectiveness, which I suppose you can label as love.”

He deadpanned before making direct eye contact.

“You’re saying that I love you?”

The air immediately felt ten degrees cooler as soon as the words left his lips. It didn’t matter that it was in the form of a question. You felt your expression harden before you cleared your throat.

“What you feel for me isn’t love.”

He gave you one of those looks that you could never perceive as being deceitful or genuine. “No?”

“No.” Your voice was strong. Firm. “What you have for me is closer to desire or obsession rather than love.”

He dismissed your assessment with a wave of his hand. “Desire is to want something.” He lifted his head and propped his chin in his hand with a smile. “And I have you, don’t I?”

“Physically you do, but am I allowed to leave without the threat of harm to others?” You gestured to the outside world beyond the bedroom window. “Am I allowed to pursue the paths in my life that were laid out for me before I met you?”

The silence that followed was all the answer you’d ever need.

“That’s not love, Mahito, that’s obsession.”

“Is there a difference?”

There was a seriousness in his tone that blended so seamlessly with twisted innocence that it made you sigh deeply and audibly.

“There’s a thin line between them.” You admitted slowly. “One I don’t think Curses could ever distinguish.”

There was an odd pain that accompanied that sentence. One that made your heart ache as you watched Mahito’s eyes flicker back and forth between you, the magazine, and random areas of the room as he muddled over your words. Perhaps it was because, if he agreed, he would decide he no longer had any use for you. Maybe he would come to that same conclusion even if he disagreed.

Regardless, what you said was true. Curses were evil. He was evil. Born of hate and scorn - emotions that shared the commonality of obsession, only far more twisted and corrupt. You thought it unlikely he’d ever be able to tell the difference.

What purpose would he have in the long run for doing so?

The mattress dipped with the change in his applied weight as moved up the bed towards you. You pressed yourself back against the pillows, surprised by the sudden change in distance separating you.

“You said you don’t think you’ve ever felt love in your relationships.” He said. “Does that include me?”

It was a tick question. One meant to trap you on the blade of a double edged sword.

But you didn’t panic, instead locking eyes with him when you asked “Do you want me to love you?”

There was a distant boom of thunder as the tension hung above the both of you. It broke when he ran the back of his patchwork hand down your cheek. You didn’t flinch, even when he repeated a familiar phrase back to you.

“Don’t ask questions you know the answer to.” He brushed his nose against yours in a gesture you deemed the closest he’d ever achieve to affection. “It’s not polite.”

Canpes

Also on AO3!

kind of based on @softest-punk hobsbandverse

The only information Hob gets from Destiny is that whoever is accompanying him to the event will be waiting in the passenger seat of his car. There’s a certain petulant tone to Destiny’s voice that suggests it is not going to be him.

Delirium is waiting when he climbs in the driver’s side, dressed appropriately in a pretty pink dress and with the colours in her hair faded to a more respectable level – i.e., they won’t burn out anyone’s retinas. She beams when she sees him.

“Hi Hob!”

He laughs, “Hey Del, you were destined to accompany me?”

She leans in, close, like she’s imparting a secret. “There was a fight.” She tells him. “’twas funny, everyone was stood in their galleries and yelling at the other sigils.”

That does sound funny, actually, Hob can imagine them all getting increasingly irate at each other over something as simple as who gets to come with him to an admittedly boring faculty party.

She giggles suddenly and leans in even closer, pressing their noses together. “Even Death and Destiny.”

“And you?”

She scrunches her nose up. “I would have if I had had an opp… opp…”

“Opportunity?”

“Yes! Opportunity. Destiny kept speaking when I wanted to.”

Hob laughs again. “Didn’t he already know it was going to be you?”

“He wanted to change it.” She settles back in her seat and lets him start the car. “He only said it was me when he lost.”

It warms something in him to know that they were all so determined to be with him, even to the point of trying to change the Book.

“Good to know.”

 They pull into the carpark and Hob is not surprised to see that there is already a reasonable number of cars present. The event did technically start almost half an hour ago.

“Alright.” He turns the engine off and turns to face Delirium. “You ready to schmooze?”

Her face screws up. “Schmooze.”

“Yeah. Don’t repeat that in front of anyone, yeah?”

She nods, incredibly serious, and Hob just has enough time to think that he might want to rephrase that to explain that while it was a joke, he also doesn’t want her referring to it as schmoozing in front of anyone, when her face breaks out in a brilliant and mischievous smile.

He grins back, holds up a fist. “Let’s do this?”

Del hits it with her own. “Do this.”

The Dean sweeps over as soon as the two of them enter, taking in Delirium – undeniably a child – with not a small amount of trepidation.

“Rob!” She says, somehow managing to incorporate both an exclamation mark and an ellipsis into her voice. “Who is this?”

He wraps an arm around Delirium’s shoulders. “Uh, this is Del, my partners’ sibling.”

“They’re busy.” Del offers, polite and reasonable. Hob wonders who gave her instructions on how to act.

The Dean’s face clears slightly, not completely, because Hob loves to keep people guessing on how many partners he actually has, and this does not at all clear anything up for her. ‘They’ could be one, or two, or in this case actually seven, but she doesn’t know that. “Oh, well it was so nice of you to join us instead.”

Del nods, seriously. “We could not let him face you alone.”

Hob manages to restrain the shocked laugh down to a snort. That is almost certainly something he said to Dream, about not wanting to face the faculty alone when everyone else would be with their partners. “She means because no one else will be.”

“Oh!” The Dean laughs as well. “I’ll introduce you to my husband at some point,” she waves a hand vaguely across the room, “unfortunately he has been drawn into a different conversation.”

“Ah, well, there’s no rush, right? We’ve got all evening.”

Del nods again, serious. “And if that falls through there is always the rest of your lives.”

The Dean cups a hand over her mouth, apparently already getting used to Del’s particular chain of thought. “Very true. It was nice to meet you.”

“You also.”

She wanders off again, probably to greet someone else, leaving the two of them hovering by the doorway and looking out across the room. Hob wonders if Delirium is going to whisper the weird hallucinations and beliefs of the people present, the same way Dream tells him their night time fantasies and Desire lets him know their waking ones.

Instead, she tugs on his arm excitedly. “Look, Hob, canapes!”

He lets her pull him over to the ‘buffet’ an admittedly poor selection of tiny foods, and watches her try one of each, accepting every time she pushes one, she particularly likes on him. It’s a new way to experience these sorts of events and he thinks that maybe that’s the point, maybe that’s why the Book decided she would be the one to accompany him.

Del bops him on the nose, pulling him out of his musings. “Thinking?”

“Yup. ‘bout you.”

She beams at him and holds up a tiny eclair. He opens his mouth and lets her stick it in, chewing obediently when she pulls her fingers back and stares expectantly.

“’s good.”

“Death says ones from France are better.”

“We’ll have to go to France sometime then.” Hob replies without really thinking about it.

The hopeful way she looks up at him in response almost breaks his heart. “Really?”

“Of course.”

He thinks she might be about to say something else, but his office neighbour appears beside them before she can.

“Rob! And who might this be?”

Del wipes her hand on her dress before offering it to Ally and Hob winces internally. Money he might have, but the dress she (or someone else) has conjured up looks incredibly expensive.

“I am Del.”

“Well, it’s nice to meet you, Del, I’m Ally.” Ally shoots him an amused look out the corner of her eye.

“Yes,” Del says very seriously, “of medieval literature.”

The amused look becomes impressed, “Yup, you heard about me?”

Hob is very certain that he doesn’t talk about work when he hangs out with Del, which means that she must have gained this information from one of her siblings, and she’d confirmed earlier that they had literally argued over who got to accompany him, but this means that they talk about him when he’s not there. It settles something in his chest that worries sometimes they are all just humouring him.

“Lots.” Del agrees. “Hob is very fond of you.”

She softens visibly, “Well, I’m quite fond of him also.”

At the other end of the table, a waiter lays down a tray of new things and, rather than responding, Del lights up excitedly and scurries off to try one, leaving Hob to face Ally.

“Thought you were bringing one of the undefined number of partners. That’s a child.”

“I know.” Hob replies, because he does. And, sure, Del might technically be eons older than him, but she has the mind of a child – Destiny had described her as ‘not quite broken, almost shattered’ once. “She’s their sibling.”

“Which one’s?”

“Uh, all of them?”

Ally visibly processes this information. “I’m sorry.” She says in a voice that is anything but. “The undefined number of mysterious partners are… all siblings?”

“I think they have a shared calendar.”

She looks like she wants to say more in response to that, but Del reappears with two of the new canapes and holds one out to each of them. Whatever bone Ally has to pick with this weird arrangement of his apparently has nothing to do with Del because her face softens immediately, and she takes the offered food. Hob does as well.

“There are people over there who want to talk to you,” Del adds, helpfully, “I heard them talking.”

Hob follows her gaze to some more members of the faculty. “Alright, might wanna grab some more snacks, I don’t know how long this is gonna take.”

She nods and bounces off down the table, grabbing a paper plate because they might be in a fancy establishment, but G-d forbid anyone has to do any washing up.

Ally presses a hand to his arm, concern gently written in her eyes. “Rob, I’m not gonna tell you what to do with your life, but… are you sure about this?”

He looks down to where Delirium is weighing up how many of something to put on the plate and can almost imagine Dream peering over her shoulder, nose scrunched up in distaste, Death at his side laughing, the twins whispering about the people present, Destiny watching over them and Destruction watching Hob himself. He blinks and the images vanish.

“Yeah, yeah I’m sure about this.”

Random Hashira Post #7

Massive shoutout to the sweet little bee, @koyuki-the-flower for this idea! All credit goes to her!

The Hashira and the Comedy Club Chaos!

Rengoku Kyojuro

Kyojuro’s sense of comedy is quite innocent and cheerful. He loves his random puns and he regularly goes up to tell jokes

He likes to make up stories to start off his jokes since it’s fun for him to stir up a longer discussion

The crowd legit love him, even if he tells a bad joke or messes up

Kyojuro sometimes accidentally trips over the cable of the microphone, where he is babied by the crowd

Shinazugawa Sanemi

He is not a fan of actually telling jokes but he wouldn’t mind attending the club to challenge himself to a “try not to laugh”

Sanemi‘s sense of humour is based around vile/grime phrases, such as s***de, murder, etc.

Sanemi will gladly throw hands with the club’s local douchebag for being rude towards one of his fellow Hashira

He orders drinks a lot and most likely, gonna be hella drunk by the end of the night

Kocho Shinobu

Doesn’t mind telling jokes but she would much prefer to chill out and enjoy comedy

She has a mix of dark and light sense of humour. She’ll laugh at both variations equally

Shinobu will go up and tell a joke/story-joke at least once or twice throughout the entire event

Shinobu is another drinker of the Hashira. Not as bad as Tengen and Sanemi, though, she goes hard with wine

Tomioka Giyuu

Giyuu will NOT ever go up and tell jokes. Try force him and he’ll go hide in the bathrooms

His sense of humour is very dark, horribly screwed and centred around the not-so nice unlive option. Don’t let him even make up jokes

Giyuu may just bring his katana with him for “self defence” and empty-threateningly raise it whenever the comedy club host calls him out to go up

He is most likely messing around on his phone the entire night as he pays for the Taxi to pick up the big group by the end

Uzui Tengen

To be honest, this man is the king of humour and comedy clubs

He is the Hashira that is mostly telling jokes and hogs the stage a lot throughout the night

Tengen enjoys all the drinks he orders as he randomly starts singing out his next joke

Tengen will make smut jokes and/or joke-references quite a lot, it’s kinda scary

Kanroji Mitsuri

The second most frequent joke-teller of the Hashira. She loves making people laugh

Mitsuri has the most wholesome and cute sense of humour, that it’s impossible for her to say anything naughty or gross

Mitsuri makes cat jokes and pulls up funny cat pictures as often as she can. She finds them funny

She doesn’t touch drinks at all, alongside Muichiro, Giyuu and Gyomei, and helps drag the drunk Hashira out of the club

Tokito Muichiro

Seriously. Never let him tell jokes, even more ‘no’ then Giyuu

Muichiro always forgets what he is saying so he blurts off for ten minutes and has to be shooed off stage

That’s fine. Muichiro prefers listening to jokes within the crowd anyway

And mayhaps, judging specific ones based on his very picky sense of humour. He laughs like only once or twice for the entire night

Himejima Gyomei

Will laugh at absolutely anything, even if it’s not really funny to him. He likes cheering people up

Shows support to his fellow Hashira by coming up with jokes out of thin air for them to use

Gyomei is experienced in joke-telling with his past of children care so he does have a wholesome sense of humour

Gyomei will go up anytime he is asked or anytime he feels like he should

Iguro Obanai

The literal king of dark humour. His jokes aren’t the over-the-top dark but just the right amount of edgy

Do you suspect Obanai would only make snake puns? At minor times he does. In all honesty, he is more of story-joker

Obanai will tell jokes on stage if Mitsuri asks him too. If not, he’s enjoying the chaos in the background

Surprisingly, he is the one who collects the drinks for the Hashira. He happened to be getting up at the right time

I don’t know the artist name but credit, of the art above, goes to him/her/them!

I’m only on episode 7 of season 2 so don’t get too spoilery for me but I’ve been thinking thoughts about Midst and

you only refer to a currency with a word like valor if you are making A Point. right? are we agreed? and to the Trustees, valor is something to show off, to tell everyone and their mother about. they drape themselves in it, have Notaries (multiple! just standing around at street intersections!) to go tell their good deed to, and it’s funny when our main protagonists are getting mobbed by people trying to tell them about how they did this for a relative without being asked or put up with that without complaint, but-

and during the raid, Phineas points out Weepe and asks (demands) him to further help them and that struck me in the moment, of how Weepe was so uncomfortable with the amount of valor he received from turning in his friends, to the point that he specifically asked Imelda to wait before moving on the info because he didn’t want his former friends and colleagues to know what he did, and I’m sure Imelda has her own reasons for why she didn’t honor his request but also, in their culture, it’s like- why would he hide it! something that big, that valorous? most anyone would shout that from the rooftops! come look! look at what I did for the Trust!

even the Consecutors aren’t free of this, they’ve got a reporter following them around, relaying their every heroic move over the radio like it’s an episode of The Lone Ranger and not a literal hostage situation. that’s what heroism, what valor, is to this society. you broadcast it over a radio, you wear it as a jewel around your neck, you literally trade and barter it for material goods and political favors!

and YET-

Phineas, who despite how hard he’s worked and the people he’s saved, is still not valorous enough to be a free man. he is still! not enough! to shine on his own! he’s going to drive himself crazy trying to please these people!

and YET-

he zip-lined down a live communications cable with no reporters to commentate on it. he successfully pulled off a plan to escape a giant monster with only two strangers (one of them a literal child) to witness and to help. do you get it. do you see. that it’s only upon being free (abandoned, even) from the high society that never saw him as enough on his own that he is going to understand what true valor is.

#does this makes sense #I don’t know #anyway I’m listening to the podcast like you all asked and now I’m making it everyone’s problem #in which I ramble #Midst #midst spoilers #? eh whatever

[blackstarchanx3new]

FSR Rambles 12 times Vaati got his ass kicked

Insanity, Vaati being pathetic.

What's new?

Ooop. Zelda showing off how she'll kill you within 2 seconds of being in HER castle.

Link's letter was smth addressed earlier: He warned her with a letter he was going to pull the sword.

Which implies a certain amount of impersonal-ness to the action. He didn't want her talking him out of it lmfao. He was already struggling with defying Vio's persistence so it makes sense he didn't want Zelda to try and logic his ass either.

Her outfit being the sneaky armor in botw, presumably so she could sneak attack, whoever ended up attacking her.

I thought it'd also be a fun throwback to Sheik and spoiler:

Zelda's gender identity is pretty open. Link referred to her with "They" pronouns earlier in the comic but I didn't feel it was very relevant to bring up at the time lmfao. Zelda's all sorts of gender in this comic to say the least.

The reason why Vaati knows she's around is smth I'll get into later when it's more relevant.

"Damn would you have preferred Gannon???" - Vaati probably.

Zelda isn't playing around she wants to know where her blonde twink is at.

Vaati is a bitch about it of course.

Oh she mad.

She real mad.

"PATRICK THATS NOT A HOOKER!!!"

"It's not?"

"ITS A BOMB 💣!!!!"

Vaatis stupid as hell expression before she goes boom is hilarious to me.

Smth people seem to be CONFUSED about fsr is Vaati's not so subtle Zelda simping.

Vaati is a Zelda simp, that's really all there is too it. The extent of that simping is smth I've joked about a lot.

So he got his ass handed to him.

Shadow himself noted vaati must be weak as hell earlier so. Guess he was right.

Smth of note: vaati is struggling to keep his form in the "wind mage" form. As his body keeps trying to revert to the "wind demon" design

Those titles are used interchangeably in the manga but I call his Hylian disguise his "wind mage" form and the demon form his "wind demon" form personally.

Zelda casually drops the fact she was trying to murder Vaati with that blast. She isn't playing around. Makes sense this asshole held her prisoner for who knows how long before and did something to her best friend.

Haha vaatis pathetic and also in pain.

Good.

His suffering is all the direct cause of his own actions so...hard to feel TOO bad for him rn.

Zelda certainly doesn't.

Link’s shitty state outright made her a more cold hearted person it seems.

Not that'd I'd blame her for that lmfao.

Vaati struggling to get back to being handsome lmfao.

Vaati, my bro, when are you going to do a single thing for yourself????

Okay but the implication Dark Link let Vaati get his ass kicked and only jumped in to help when Vaati called for help is very funny.

Dark links comedically large sword is just interesting. It's not a four sword replica like Shadow’s.

Zelda is in shock at the weird Link coming out of nowhere.

Darks immediate reaction of being flustered at seeing Zelda is so funny to me.

"HYLIA'S MASSIVE TITS, IT'S A WOMAN!!!"

And fun note: This is the first time Dark's actually for reals appeared in the physical world and not just in the "Headspace".

Subtly creepy he isn't just a mental problem but a physical danger as well.

His attack was very calculated, as he didn't hurt Zelda and just slammed his sword in front of her...

...Haven't we seen smth...SIMILAR TO THIS?

Huh well, look at that...

Sweaty weirdo Dark Link enters the chat.

No it was not just for the memes he's actually just like that lmfao.

So from what we know about Dark so far there's some things to note:

Our buddy boy can see the memories of others and "live" through their experiences.

Yall see what it is getting at right?

Shadow link, Vio, and Vaati's emotions and memories are influencing Darks inability to harm Zelda here.

And perhaps he formed feeling a certain kind of way about her.

He associates her with positive feelings lmfao.

Their influence aside, he still chooses not to hurt her on his own.

Vaati’s reaction is priceless.

Zelda seems to grant Dark some mercy, assumably because he outright denied Vaati here lol.

For his sparing of Zelda he gets squished like a dog toy. Poor Dark Link.

Vaati leaves with his dumbass lackey.

When you casualy blow a hole in your castle lmfao.

She's overwhelmed.

She need break.

She need hug.

She need...Link.

Pff.

Guys, he has self-awareness...fuck.

Vaati, that was just unnecessarily mean to your lackey.

Also Dark Link appearance wise:

His hair color has changed. It's purple toned now when it was grey blue toned earlier....

Okay I'll stop being coy it's because he's mimicking Vio's appearance.

Oh. Well, that's a face, alright...

Is he ANGRY? Is he HAPPY?

Did he make that face because he knows it'd freak Vaati out?

Vaati’s abusive bullshit doesn't seem to damper his mood at least as he's smiling in the 3rd panel.

Dark link and Shadow link are very different people, ESPECIALY when it comes to how they cope with Vaati's abuse.

It left a mark on Shadow where as as of right now at least, Dark acts MOSTLY unbothered by it.

Let's face it rn his idea of normal relationships are Shadow and vio lmfaoooooooo-

The dudes who both almost murdered each other.

Pff

His "I want kisses too" line will never not get a laugh out of me.

It's so indicative of how he actually feels.

He wants kisses.

He drops that Shadow is the demon king and for a second you gotta wonder if Vaati was like

"...Why is Gannon smooching Vio?????"

Dark Link also wants to dance. Both are things he saw Vio and Shadow do, mind you...

Vaati has no idea wtf is going on lmfao.

Dark has eclipsed him as the true villain of this comic-

I say in jest.

Dark casually recaps stuff we already kinda know.

While trying to dance with Vaati pff.

Funny enough, taking the lead in said dance, which reflects how he's the one doing all the work rn.

So, Dark link is interpreting peoples feelings, not 100% understanding them. 🤔

He has to actually think about Blue's emotional state hah and even seems surprised.

It's funny to think that even Green picked up on blue being jealous, and basically everyone did, but Dark had to think about it...

Kinda shows he doesn't really understand people much. Like TRUELY.

Or he's just not as interested in blue vs Vio and Shadow.

Dark stutters again like he did when he was face to face with Zelda.

Vaatis so mean mocking his stutter and continues to berate him.

Well that was an outburst.

And I finally get to talk in detail about Dark Link’s "mechanics" for a lack of a better term will expand on the next page.

Design/art wise:

Dark's teeth are all sharp here when normally, despite being a demon his teeth are flat/human looking teeth.

The background is a more red version of the head-space Vio and Green have been dragged to when Dark talks to them/at them.

Immediately he's back to being himself.

Weirdly happy, which settles in the true horror of the previous outbirst:

He didn't mean, a single word of what he just said.

He said that, PURELY to hurt Vaati because it's something that Vaati already feels about himself. He wasn't actually MAD at Vaati and snapping in response to Vaati's abuse. He was just reflecting Vaati's anger right back at him.

So smth about Dark:

He often reflects DIRECTLY how others behave.

Instances of such:

The madder Vaati got in this talk, the "angrier" Dark Link got right back at him.

He shouted at Dark to "Do something" and he responded angrily back that he didn't want to hurt Zelda.

He shouted and berated Dark Link causing Dark to shout that nobody loves Vaati.

Dark Link's nature is to be calm, quiet, pretty "Happy" and kinda hopelessly romantic lmao. He wants to have his idea of "Fun" with people.

He MIMICS people.

Dark has no identity of his own (At least he doesn't seem to realize he does) so often he just bounces off people. He only takes joy in hurting others atm.

Not even in an outright malicious way. At least not the kind of malicious that's "haha I broke the hero because I hate him". This is just what his idea of "Fun" is. What his idea of normal interactions are. This is just what he's suposed to be doing rn.

He isn't acting much outside of his direct reason for creation. What he even deems as fun is indicative of his creation as well.

Engaging with their range of emotions and characters and memories he deems interesting is FUN to him.

If his dialogue from page 121 is anything to go off of, bro really doesn't give a shit about his job. He just wants to have fun:

He finds it amusing Shadow can ALSO manipulate people's feelings, outright kind of complimenting him for it.

And then gets hopelessly distracted and starts talking about what he'd "Rather do" right now.

Which involves hugging Vio and reading oop.

He didn't get SUPER involved/invested in Shadow's memories until Vio and Shadow were doing more "interesting" things, at least in Dark's opinion of what is "interesting."

Dark wants to engage in relationships lmfao. But he's stuck engaging with memories living though them vicariously and hurting people he supposedly "Likes".

He wants to dance with someone and kiss them and in general have "happy" moments with someone. But is stuck being a curse that's only purpose is to break the hero apart and reflect negativity.

It's kinda sad.

But he clearly hasn't reflected on his own life/situation outside of Vaati's feelings towards him.

Also: Dark has no desire to kill any of the Link or Link himself...keep this in mind.

Again: He reflects Vaati's mood of annoyance with that face in the second panel. Which kills me. You just know Vaati's making the same face off screen lmfao.

Symbolism symbolism

Dark plucks the violet but leaves the silent princess alone outside of petting it. Call back to how he left Zelda alone.

He says more stuff we kinda already know, but recapping is good. Actually, we spent like 100 pages in flashbacks, hah.

It also shows what Dark learned/his takeaway from watching their interactions.

Haha oh Dark why are you ripping petals out?

There's smth to be said about him ripping the petals out as the game "She loves me, she loves me not" is a vibe that's being invoked here.

With the odd amount of petals (Being 5) it'd land on "She loves me" by the way.

A relatively innocent game turned into something sinister as he rips petals out in accordance with how many heroes there are.

Dark's behavior continues to be ODD, as he claims Shadow's predicament is "Sad". Which is true.

But...does his expression REALLY scream that he's ACTUALLY sad about it to you?

His chest eyeball just stares blankly forward, his body language implies he's just kinda pretending or acting sad.

Which makes sense, Dark hasn't been shown to clearly understand sorrow properly as even when he cried he was still smiling.

He compares Vio and Shadow's struggles with their identities directly as they're both struggling with who they're SUPOSED to be compared to who they are.

Again: he's ripping a petal out as he talks about each member of the Link squad.

Notes notes notes my favorite:

For whatever reason Vio is not in his present day look here. He's how he looked 7 years ago.

You could make a lot of different assumptions as to why:

Is this how Dark sees Vio? Vio visually represented to be stuck in the past. Vio just feeling more childishly scared in the face of what's happening.

Dark's comforting Vio here in a similar manor to how Shadow did though.

Also super weird: Dark actually in a round about way compliments Vio here.

"He's so blinded by his self hatred he can't see just how much everyone adores him because of his calm cool nature..."

Dark can feel how others feel about Vio and repeated those opinions.

This is smth to note because so far the only things he's really repeated out loud have been negative things people feel about THEMSELVES.

Outside of when he complimented Shadow.

But this shows he can actually recognize positive feelings people have towards others and repeat those too...

And outright stating: He "likes" Vio.

Because of his strong reaction to Zelda, we can assume that he likes people depending on how others feel about them. Because the team likes Vio: So does Dark Link.

Another petal falls while he dips into Green's problems. Who's the only other one we've seen him play around with so far outside of Vio and Shadow And not even really with Shadow...

Weirdly enough Green feels empty inside because he's diet link lmfao.

I told yall I'd give him a personality.

Harbors guilt for lazing around when everyone else was doing stuff. Ouch.

He felt the need to promise Link he'd keep shit okay but he doesn't even know if he CAN.

Blue and his ptsd.

Dark continues to hug people while utterly obliterating them as people lmao.

Blue can't express his emotions arounv Vio which is a theme we'll see as we go into the comic more.

Vio looking back at Blue tho is, a thing.

To be fair to Dark's assesment of Red: red hasn't done anything in the comic yet.

Him chucking the flower the second it's not pretty anymore and, eating the petal is just funny in a morbid way.

Creepy thing: He ate the petal that "Symbolized" Red. The sweet optimistic character. Kinda just shows Dark consumes everything around him in a pit of despair lmfao. Also it's hilarious that he ate smth that he shouldn't have.

Vaati's disgusted reaction to said petal eating is very funny and Dark's monologue about HIMSELF is very telling I feel.

He thinks he's a hero, because he's saving someone. Removed from context that Vaati is a villain and the fac to "Save" Vaati he needed to hurt the REAL hero of Hyrule...

His actions are preventative at the moment: he's making so Link can't reform and the pieces can't seal Vaati back into the sword.

Dark's actions all make sense to Dark Link. XD

Nobody is cheering him, so he just blatantly says "YAY DARK LINK!!!" Which is honestly the funniest lines Dark has said purely because it shows his childish outlook on this entire situation.

He's just the hero saving Vaati.

Dark's clearly annoyed to some degree nothing he does is bringing Vaati any amount of satisfaction.

He did what he was supposed to do. The sword is drawn. Vaati is free.

Dark even mocks Vaati's impatience and his need to control someone else to do his work for him. Hitting Vaati right where it hurts with Vaati's insecurity about being a pawn.

Instantly also going for the throat with "Master Elzo and Link would be disgusted with you"

Obviously: He's talking about Minish Cap Link NOT "our" Link.

This use of their names offends Vaati to no end.

The fight scene is fun, enough said. XD

Okay fine: Ramble thoughts.

Dark manages to mauver his way into not getting properly hit.

Dark's fascination with strangling people is not missed as he does it to Vaati here.

As he repeats things he knows will hurt Vaati's feelings.

Vaati is being unreasonable and stupid in Dark's eyes so him bringing up Vaati's insecurities to make a point is just his attempt to get Vaati to listen to him.

Despite his actions seeming to go against it: He IS on Vaati's side and IS trying to "save" Vaati.

He isn't even saying/acting out of spite, he's just kinda lowkey annoyed and exasperated at Vaati at best. XD

We hit the image count so I'll pick up later.

Resent - Aemond Targaryen  Reader

You and Aemond have been seeing each other, and its getting serious. His family hears about it and is unsettled with the fact that you're not highborn.

WC: 870 Warnings: Mild drinking, Otto Hightower having a bad time Otto Hightower felt like he was being pranked. He was meeting you in a back alley ale house.  He had important things to say, and you wouldn't agree to anywhere else. He had no choice but to make a deal with your kind. Your kind. Filth of a woman, he had once referred to you during an overheard conversation with Alicent. 'Aemond expressed his desire to marry that filth of a woman' were Otto's exact words. "There is no need for drastic measures, father. I will speak with Aemond. Let us hear what that woman has to say." Queen Alicent spoke, being the kindest woman in that conversation.

The hand of the king stuck out like a sore thumb in the ale house by the pier. He walked in with his gratuitous rich-people walk, the type that screams 'I can buy all of you thrice over'. He had brought an exaggerated amount of guards with him, posted at different spots around the building. The regular patrons try their best to ignore to the entourage, continuing their drinks and stealing glances at the hand of the king, the guards, and the figure wrapped in green veil. You take a sip of your drink and motion for him to sit across you, the wooden table between you wobbles unsteadily. You pour him a cup of local rum, sliding the clay container towards him.

"Eastfox's best rum. 12 years fermented in oak barrels." You initiate, clinking your glass with his. he didn't look pleased. "You asked me to meet you here, not for a rum lecture, I presume." He deadpans. His sass was not foreign to you as demonstrated by his grandson, Prince Aemond whom you've become quite acquainted with.

Otto ignores the drink and proceeds to talk business. "I presume you understand the predicament you've involved yourself, Lady y/n." The title was meant to be derogatory, as you are anything but. "Yes, I am aware. I am not like 'your kind' as I am constantly reminded." You sigh nonchalantly, planting your foot at the edge of your seat. The nobleman's table manners are horrified.

"Because I'm not rich? Because I don't come from a noble family, not educated like you folks? Sure. But you don't know me." You try to keep your temper down. The patrons from a few tables over give the both of you a glance.

"You are not what Aemond needs." The man answers in a low yet confident voice. You scoff.

"That's funny, because he proposed to me last night..."

Otto Hightower's eyes almost comically widen.

"He said he'd walk away from everything for me. He'd take his dragon and we'll move somewhere far from here, where no one will know or bother us..." Your eyes brighten at the memory of how Aemond promised you a sweet future. You take a deep breath before continuing: "He said he'd walk away from his family. For good."

In a very rare, almost impossible situation, the hand of the king looked utterly defeated. He took a deep breath and contemplated on taking the drink you offered beforehand. You stared deeply into his eyes, conflict behind his irises. Its like he couldn't come up with anything to say.

"Calm down, I didn't say yes." The annoyance in your voice evident. "You are fool..." Otto's prideful gaze returned almost immediately, and he did not waste a moment to insult you again.

"Am I? Because if Aemond chose me, he'd lose his family. and if he chose his family, he might spend his life resenting you." You firmly hold his gaze before blinking to the veiled figure sitting at the table next to yours- "resenting the both of you."

Queen Alicent gasps from beneath her lush green veil.

You get up, pulling your leg over the bench and taking the bottle of rum while pointing a stern finger at the undercover queen of the seven kingdoms. "So I just want you to know that one day, once Aemond marries a lucky girl, who is rich, good, and noble enough for you, and when you're playing with your grandkids, that it was because of me, a poor low class filth of a woman who is nowhere near your kind."

For the first time since last night you breathe freely, taking the weight of Aemond's family off your shoulders, like tossing an anchor to the bottom of the ocean. The salty breeze of the ship dock and the cold night greet you as you step out of the busy ale house. You raise your bottle toward the ship that will take you to Pentos first thing tomorrow and you celebrate your newfound freedom.

------ The sun is rising out of the eastern horizon when the ship's sailcloth flutters against the wind. The tides are calm today, almost as calm as your mind, looking forward to start a new life beyond the Narrow Sea. Just then, the wind picks up and the sea revolts, almost tossing your ship off. Your fellow passengers begin to panic, and the sunshine dims all of a sudden. In the distance, an enormous dragon barrels its way through the clouds, catching up with your ship.

Vhagar's rider commands the ship pilot to stop the vessel.
