https://www.tumblr.com/ikram1909/741972962414133248/im-curious-about-how-is-going-to-be-flicks-and?source=share i still wonder how did he manage to click with lewa so quickly. Never thought lewa as someone very open and less when its a stranger that u never met and have a language barrier, now the real question is how did gavi manage to communicate with him? Does he know english despite his accent or is he naturally someone social (even if he is shy)? I NEED ANSWERS

I need answers too 😭😭 like the way they just clicked and it was almost instant too like it was long before Lewa learned Spanish. Also, the way Lewa talks about Gavi with the biggest smile on his face he LOVES that boy 😭😭 like lewa admitting to getting help from Gavi and that Gavi inspires him to wake up during a game just from watching how intense he is? Gavi really is magic 😭😭

#I love them together I can't lie 😭😭 #their bond is just special to me 😭 #pablo gavi #baby waby #robert lewandowski #fc barcelona #I love this video so much #the mutual love and respect goes crazy between the' #them*

minthara and lae'zel are my beautiful misunderstood queens (i understand them tho) bc they shouldn't be looked at without taking into account the peculiarities of the environments were born&raised in and then be expected to act any other way than they do (like. be nice). their cultures are not too dissimilar in their inherent ruthlessness and what is considered to be a proper trait for a woman in our society (kindness compassion etc etc whatever) for them would surely be the road to an inevitable downfall. they wouldn't have lived long enough to make it to the events of the game and they know it

#mіnthara's outlook on the world fascinates me i wish i had a tadpole of my own to explore her mind #she's so justifiably evil #no wonder there's some mutual respect going on between them #it reminds me of the time when i wanted to create a drow character for a dnd game #and my dm said no bc he didn't trust me to make a lore-accurate character that wouldn't have a conflict with the rest of the party #disappointed i was but i can see where he was coming from. that is not a simple task #and mіnthara succeeds in every way #leaving this at the bottom of the tags because i'm afraid to say this: #their evil alignment is more justified than asta/rion's #<- said in barely a whisper #here. i said it. #lex.txt

What is he if not Lord of unanswered dreams and hopes?

Honestly, it pains me so much that Dream always fails to recognise his own value. That he knows his meaning to the Dreaming, but can’t he see his worth apart from his function. That killed me in the TV series and it kills me here. How often had somebody said something like “you have to do this” or “you don’t have a saying in this” for him to only believe himself worthy as a king for those who sleep instead for a being that deserves to love and dream as well.

I agree, and it's one of the first things I truly appreciated about his characterisation.

To be honest, it's a question that could be argued in many different ways. Past experiences are the first point that pops into my mind. The idea that all past attempts to have something more, to live for something other than his function, is beyond his grasp. Yet, more often than not, if you analyse Dream's pattern, the relationship is either doomed from the start (and he fails to see it/accept it), or he is entirely incompatible with the individual, to begin with. Dream's own inability to form meaningful change is, arguably, half the issue here, if not most of it.

It's clear that Dream is lonely. That he dearly desires something more but has been burned too many times to try and shoulder the potentially another failure. He has such responsibility placed on him that he instead chooses to - as Corinthian aptly puts it - "feel nothing". I think it's easier for him to focus on his duty because the depth of his own loneliness might undo him. Again, it's not a lack of love or even care. It's too much love. Dream is cold not because he doesn't feel but because he loves too much, too quickly, too intensely.

But he is also oh so proud. All those failed relationships and connections are felt so much deeper, even if he's not verbal about them.

#this is why with tibyim i took such slowburn/platonic focus #half the fic is arguably platonic. there are no concrete romantic feelings between them at least until 5. #that thousand years was both about them mutually having a constant but also learning to value of connection #when you really analyse dream's past relationship they were all very sudden and intense #wanderer and dream /grow/ together. they are there for each other without need for anything physical. they learn to care #about each other as people first and foremost. love grows from that care/trust/connection #that's why it simmers so deeply. because it's been nurtured. bruised. then grows stronger with each test. #dream doesn't need another lover just for the sake of having something physical. he needs someone who would love him #for him. but also not be afraid to challenge him. like wanderer says in 10 /because of respect/ not from lack of it. #when i was trying to really analyse them as individuals and potential couple it was important to me that they could stand individually #but make each other better when together. and I don't mean erases each other's flaws but inspire the other to best version #of themselves #byeee sorry about the rant sdjghsdg #asks #fic: today i bury you in me

3 for Aldrich, Aldia, Willem & Laurence

9 for Maria

11 for Micolash & Aldrich

24 for Laurence

(Asks from this ( x ) meme)

3) What first drew you to this character?

As for Aldrich, I vaguely recall finding out that he checks the traits I like the most? He was one of the characters I've learned about through fandom and not on my own, and I think this ancient meme about summarises it:

Also:

@val-of-the-north SHUDDUP you're basically so horny for Laurence/Logarius/Snatchers that you can't even picture them in your mind in any way but being naked!!!!!!! *casts the stone back at u*

With Laurence, like with Mico, it was the very first glance at the character in Youtube compilation with boss themes and concept art image. I did not know the lore yet, but the design and the music made me imagine Laurence as sort of aged, sagely librarian. I could not imagine back then that his boss fight would be him being a "helpless abhorrent little mewmew" as kids call it! Heck, I thought he'd have dialogue despite the monster form x) In a way, my first impression was not wrong, with the cut content of him actually talking even in a beast form, and implication of him being a son of Cainhurst cut content librarian NPC! I have intuition for cut content before having information, hahaha!

I have nothing to say about Willem. It might be a memory gap thing, but I swear at some point I feel I was turned off and then booted back up with liking this character already installed in my system x) As for Aldia.... ugh for fuck's sake... yeah, it was this legend:

I was absolutely floored by this stupid vid even without knowing any context, but I also instantly liked this character. I didn't even know his name yet, but the voice acting and long yapping about philosophy already pulled me in XD (Also unironically, this video is precisely how I give relationship advice fhfhdds)

9) Does this character remind you of anyone you know? Does that affect how you see them?

Yeah, I know this person. I know them very well. I know them more than anyone else. Someone who was misguided (by their destructive influence mentor figure, by their own foolishness and past history, or combination of both, who can tell anymore?) into committing awful things, then despaired over their sins and attempted redemption but also failed in some way? This person is me. At some point I've found myself in front of horrible truth about my past life and personality, and knew I was guilty and sullied forever. That it was over for me as a human being, but that didn't matter, and I could only keep people safe by locking myself away and trying to serve something better.

......annnnd it took a few years of more informed people to (metaphorically) shake me and slap my face into lucidity, explaining to me that I've fallen for the "BPD demonization" that was going far beyond than my individual failure as a friend, and we are always accused of abuse and causing irreversible harm when the worst we do is being emotionally overbearing. I kept losing trust to those friends, telling them that they were enablers who tried to gaslight me into thinking I was not 'that much of a monster', until it was other people with BPD who 'shook me and slapped my face into lucidity'. xd Nonetheless, even though now I know the truth about how society treats BPDs, I remember the feeling of being so monstrous and harmful that I was not even allowed to "touch" people with my dirty hands, how my reality used to be. So, I could write Maria going through this effortlessly, especially considering what she did was more plain and tangible!

In fact... thank you for asking me about this, because I kept wondering why I had such frequent dreams about being Maria, and why the Maria in my dreams acts like abused child that took back control against Gehrman despite my portrayal of the guy being so different. And now the puzzle is solved! That part of me still lives inside, it seems.

11) How did you “fall in love” with this character?

Already answered this for Micolash here: ( x )! As for Aldrich, it was through properly analysing the bigger picture and context of his actions. I've figured that his madness was, in fact, being informed on what was far too ahead of everyone else around him! He, like the rest of the cast, is trapped in the rotting, doomed world in which the only choices are 1) "die with dignity" or 2) commit something unthinkable from moral standpoint for a chance to escape. And will morality of the rotting world will matter in the new world anyways? Won't it all be left behind and be forgiven?

The guy also tried to take everyone else he could with him, like sort of a fucked up Noah's Arc! I can tell that they reused the concept with Rykard, at least, I am glad they know what works xD I'd say that the sadism he experienced upon eating people was either result of insanity (he understood a thing no one should understand), or still didn't exclude the bigger purpose (egotistically revelling in how holy he is helping everyone and doing what no one else dared, which would be like my Laurence). In any case, I have the strongest respect to the courage it takes to transcend the bonds of morality and compassion in order to to greater good. Being burdened with the knowledge of how the world really works, and choosing to push through instead of still being bound... This is why I also like Fauxsefka; learning how this world works, she chose to turn people into Kin so they can't ever become beasts. I am weak for this trope, you don't understand.

24) Do you ever dream about this character? If so, describe a dream you once had about them.

Laurence appears in my dreams only in two contexts: 1) Micolaurence or 2) dreams about finding secret files in Bloodborne that reveal his canonical appearance before beasthood! I can tell the latter comes from my everlasting unsatisfaction with my design for him, because I love it but it doesn't feel "fitting" and I can't identify why!

The former, I think, fandom rubbing onto me x) In two of these dreams, I was Laurence. In other two, I was Micolash. In one of Laurence dreams it was mutual, in the second one I was in love unrequited. In one of Micolash dreams, it was mutual, and in another it was not.. Basically, my dreams allows me to experience this ship from every possible angle. o_o Waiting for more I guess fhhdfsfd

______________

Thank you for asking! And.. without exaggeration, you've just done quite a psychological work on me by just asking the right thing. I need to think about that, hahaha

#bloodborne #dark souls 3 #aldrich devourer of gods #laurence the first vicar #soulsborne #ask replies #personal #memories #dreams #honestly I remember Maria in my dreams hiding in the closet like an abused bullied child.. that big strong woman reduced to this #and I finally know why it was this way #I'd rather not sully Gehrman with something as dirty as my stepdad of course he deserves so much more and he is his own man #I just don't like the approach of turning characters with their own stories and personality into vessels for my trauma #it feels like frenzied flame: you got infected by it and you have unending need to spread it. to scorch the world in your pain. #I don't think this approach would help my healing but instead make me feel worse by nourishing the trauma #I am keeping it sealed away from the world forever now </3 #see this is why it hurts me so much when gehrman haters accuse me of being insensitive to people that want to project their negative- #-experiences with men and misogyny onto him even if that means twisting the actual story and character. I do have a reason to do it myself #I just choose not to because I personally dislike the idea of making fandomry about myself more and about source material less #I don't want to bring the pain and horrors inside me into something that doesn't have them. some things can stay clean! #the passive aggression between canon worshippers and fanon enforcers is something that cannot be avoided in the fandoms #and I disapprove of the lie about 100% peace and mutual respect between the 'camps'. we will never FULLY like each other #each thinks their approach is more productive for the community. and that's fine!

Would Tanisha consider Val family since she basically knew him her entire life? Or are they just like acquaintances through her grandfather?

sometimes she refers to him as "uncle val" :'^) it's said sarcastically, especially when he tries to give her any sort of advice or lecture, but nisha does mean it some. he's a long-time customer and has earned his title as a family friend, it's hard not to feel a bit of a bond with somebody you see and talk to so frequently!

This is funny because last year it took an interviewer to bring up Mahomes for Ja’Marr to put him last in his top 5 list. “Aint no love” 😅

Bengals and chiefs are becoming too friendly this year lol

Travis following Joe....Pat choosing Ja'Marr as one of his top WRs ever??

What kind of mind games...🤔🤔🤔

#perhaps they're trying to initiate some double dates??? #(who can blame them) #but no this is very cool of pat to say #especially when you consider the company he put ja'marr in - some of the all time greats! #and the only current player besides tyreek (who pat has played with) #essentially signaling how badly he'd like to play with ja'marr - which is a fact i bet he thought about a LOT this season #(with the chiefs garbage WR game) #and i'm sure pat's never forgotten that first game against us where ja'marr had more yards than he did #what is fun about this rivalry is that there IS a lot of mutual respect #(besides the trash talk between ja'marr and travis - which is really just part of the game) #but anyways BACK OFF PAT - JA'MARR IS JOE'S!!! #HE SAID AS MUCH ON TWITTER LAST NIGHT #thank you to all the anons (or potentially one persistent anon)

obsessed with the idea that in another world shen jiu would just be the cang qiong sect’s extremely bitchy second in command who acts like a royal pain in the ass to everyone but closes ranks SO fast once someone else is rude to anybody from the sect like FUCK you those are HIS annoying little brat disciples/peak lords and only HE’S allowed to be mean to them

#personal #svss #in a world where YQY and SQQ managed to resolve that ugly mess of miscommunication between them #decades later SQQ is like haha you fucking idiots. i hate all of you. if anyone touches you i'll bite their hands off #YQY: very diplomatic and peaceful and just the human equivalent of a capybara :) #SQQ: standing behind him with the ugliest murder face ever seen on an immortal cultivator waiting for the slightest reason to go off #LQG and SQQ hate each other but it's mutually respectful. like fuck you specifically but also. FUCK you specifically. won't elaborate #puts my hands on my hips why aren't there more funny fics where SQQ is just the meanest little bitch bastard ever but also #fiercely protective of cang qiong sect bc he considers it HIS #like he absolutely does NOT have a heart of gold. he's VERY MEAN. but also everybody knows he'd never do anything to hurt cang qiong sect #HE'LL HURT YOUR FEELINGS BUT HE'LL KILL YOUR ENEMIES!!! #shen jiu is so interesting to me i am poking at him constantly in my head #rotates him like in a microwave. he's a bastard but he's MY bastard #yqy coded thought process tbh

jack vs spot

hmm that's a tough one because like. i think spot fights more but jack fights tough and dirty. it would take a pretty extreme thing to get them into an actual fight. like even when jack was betraying the strike spot contains himself to a solid shove and then reins it in, you know? but I think if something happened that got them actually fighting it would be a pretty even match.

spot knows how to leverage the fact that he's small and fast. he's strong and knows how to use his fists, but he's also very good at ducking and dodging and wearing somebody out. jack is powerful and can take a punch like nobody's business. if they were really going at it it would be brutal and honestly I feel like it would come down to why they were fighting because if one of them knew they were wrong or less right it would affect their fight. otherwise I think it would be down to chance. who has more stamina, who gets the slightest advantage. there's a reason they're both respected leaders, and it's not just personality, you know? they're both Very capable of holding their own in a fight.

#newsies #jack kelly #spot conlon #i also think they would work very hard to avoid fighting #bc there's a lot of mutual respect and imo history between them #anyway thanks for the ask <3 #it's my birthday send me more :)

[hair-dice]

Okay, in all honesty, firearms are really, really hot. I've never held one myself (the plastic laser one at Ripley's Believe It or Not doesn't count), and I don't know how to do so without seeming... weird.

I don't think I want to go hunting. Firing ranges are terrifying (I'm sensitive to loud sounds). And I don't really want to be around other people that are there for more American means, if you catch my drift.

How does one be able to tenderly hold a firearm, with the mutual respect of power between two wild animals, without seeming weird?

Also, what's the objectum label for weaponry/firearms?

#dice's words #objectum #So scared to put this in main firearm tags! So I won't. #I'm interested in guns in a more technical way; too. But I don't know enough about them to say anything. #I probably won't get too close to them for a while; until I know more about them and have sufficiently prepared. #Like I said: the mutual respect of power between two wild animals.

i have to contemplate gortash and stigma's relationship before the game starts

#the thing is i do looooove the idea of a genuine mutual respect between them #perhaps a partnership born with the intentions of manipulation and betrayal but grows into genuine respect and trust and fondness #certainly not far from the way it seems canonically #but i certainly need to dig deeper into it. #i just love when awful terrible people are awful terrible people but they have these pockets of genuine and deep care and affection #just for each other #people love the idea of coldhearted and selfish bastards and i do too but... #you make a coldhearted manipulative selfish bastard feel Love and it's instant insanity. madness. i'm obsessed.

I think the biggest difference between natehawk via death dependency goes something like

Nate: You're going to kill me? Do you promise?

Hawk: You're going to kill me? Whyyyyyyy? Why? ;w;

#I think they're both too respectful to retort that their assailant couldn't possibly match up with everything that has tried to come for #their lives before now. however i think they both entirely believe that they will be the ones to take their own lives #so to different degrees it doesn't really phase them. but of course they could also kill each other #and they don't out of something approaching mutual respect #nate has spent his whole life trying to take his own life and if he can't you're not going to be able to #and hawk has spent his early life thinking everyone would be better off without him. but he loves life and that is what i would refer to #as the categorical growth between them. and one of the main differences between the v1 and v2 timelines and the doppelganger arc #i hate this life so i'm going to take yours. vs #i don't deserve this life so you can take it #i know i said they're both too respectful to say it but it shows in their respective fighting styles #with nate being more confident to the point of being cocky and coming off as arrogant and even impatient with his enemies #while hawk tends to keep his confidence within his abilities... what i mean is that he's reserved and calculating and prideful to a fault- #he's not going to strike unless he knows he's going to be victorious (or he has to) #although he does mirror nate in times of extreme emotion. i think they make good foils for each other. because it's not a bad thing to- #mirror the other. but it's not THEM. it's not what makes them them. but in some ways they will always be each other #but neither of them believe that they will be taken out regardless of the extent of the respect they have for their opponent. it's- #it's simply not within their plans #which is what will be their downfall if - [the rest of this message is scrambled] #dominoz
